When the distribution member solenoid 73 is energized, the distribution member 71 takes a first state (passage permission state) in which the game balls are distributed to the specific area 39, and when the distribution member solenoid 73 is not energized, the game balls are distributed. A second state (passage blocking state) of distributing to the non-specific area 70 is adopted.

The distribution member 71 is in a passage permitting state in which passage of game balls to the specific region 39 is permitted when the distribution member solenoid 73 is energized, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. When the distribution member 71 is in the pass-allowing state, the game ball that has won the second big winning hole 35 passes through the specific area 39 after passing the second big winning hole sensor 35a. The route of this game ball is called a first route.

2, when the distribution member solenoid 73 is not energized, the distribution member 71 is in a passage blocking state that prevents the game ball from passing through the specific area 39. As shown in FIG. When the distribution member 71 is in the passage blocking state, the game ball that has won the second large winning opening 35 rolls on the distribution member 71 after passing through the second large winning opening sensor 35a and rolls on the non-specific area. Pass 70. This game ball route is called a second route.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the passage of the game ball to the specific area 39 serves as a trigger for executing a jackpot game (second special game), which will be described later. In other words, in this embodiment, the big hit lottery is also performed depending on whether the game ball passes through the specific area 39 or not. A jackpot won by the lottery of the first special symbol or the lottery of the second special symbol is called a first-class jackpot, and a jackpot won by passing the game ball to the specific area 39 is called a second-class jackpot.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, above the second starting port 21 in the game area 3, a gate 28 through which game balls can pass is provided.

The variable display of the first special symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 20 . The variable display of the second special symbol is performed with the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 21 as a trigger. In the following description, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as the special symbol. Also, the first special symbol display device 41a and the second special symbol display device 41b may be collectively referred to as the special symbol display device 41. Also, the first special figure reservation display 43a and the second special figure reservation display 43b may be collectively referred to as the special figure reservation display 43.

In the special symbol display device 41, the special symbol (identification information) is variably displayed (variable display) and then stopped, so that a lottery (special symbol lottery, The result of the jackpot lottery) is notified. A special symbol to be stopped and displayed (a stop symbol, a special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one special symbol selected from a plurality of types of special symbols by a special symbol lottery. When the stop pattern is a special pattern (jackpot pattern) of a predetermined jackpot stop mode, the first big prize winning opening is opened in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the stopped jackpot pattern (that is, the type of the jackpot won). A jackpot game (second special game) for opening 30 is performed. In addition, when the stop pattern is a special pattern (small hit pattern) of a predetermined small hit stop mode, the opening pattern according to the type of the stopped and displayed small hit pattern (that is, the type of the small win won). Then, a small winning game (first special game) is performed to open the second big winning hole 35 . The opening patterns of the big winning openings (the first big winning opening 30 and the second big winning opening 35) in the first special game or the second special game will be described later.

Specifically, the special symbol display device 41 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs arranged side by side, and displays a special symbol according to the result of the jackpot lottery by the lighting mode thereof. For example, if you win a jackpot (one of the multiple types of jackpots described later), ``○○●●○○●●'' (○: lights up, ●: lights out) 1, 2, from the left A jackpot pattern in which the fifth and sixth LEDs are lit is displayed. Also, if you win a small win (one of the multiple types of small wins described later), the 5th and 6th LEDs from the left will light up like "●●●●○○●●". Display the small winning pattern. In addition, if the game is lost, a lost pattern is displayed in which only the rightmost LED lights up, such as "●●●●●●●○". A mode in which all the LEDs are extinguished may be adopted as the lost pattern. In addition, before the special symbols are stopped and displayed, the special symbols are variably displayed (variable display) for a predetermined variable time. This is a mode in which the LED lights up. It should be noted that the variable display mode may be anything, such as blinking all the LEDs all at once, unless each LED is stopped (lighted up in a specific mode).

In this pachinko game machine 1, when there is a prize of a game ball to the first start port 20 or the second start port 21, the values (numerical information) of various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers obtained for the prize are It is temporarily stored in the drawing reservation storage unit 85 (see FIG. 4). Specifically, if the winning to the first start port 20 is stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit (first numerical information storage means) 85a as the first special figure reservation, the winning to the second start port 21 If there is, it is stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit (second numerical information storage means) 85b as the second special figure reservation. The number of special figure reservations that can be stored in each special figure reservation storage unit 85 has an upper limit. The upper limit storage number of the 2 special figure reservation storage unit 85b is 1 (second upper limit number).

The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 85 is terminated when the variable display of the special symbol based on the special figure reservation becomes possible. Digestion of the special figure reservation means to determine the jackpot random number or the like corresponding to the special figure reservation, and to execute the variable display of the special symbol for showing the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 1, when the variable display of the special symbols based on the winning of the game ball to the first start port 20 or the second start port 21 cannot be performed immediately after the winning, that is, the execution of the variable display of the special symbols. Even if a prize is won during execution of a medium or special game (jackpot game or small prize game), the right of the jackpot lottery for the prize can be reserved with a predetermined number as the upper limit. .

And the number of such special figure reservations is displayed on the special figure reservation indicator 43 . Specifically, the first special figure reservation indicator 43a is made up of, for example, four LEDs, and the second special figure reservation indicator 43b is made up of, for example, one LED. Each special figure reservation indicator 43 displays the number of special figure reservations by turning on LEDs corresponding to the number of special figure reservations.

The variable display of normal symbols is performed with the passage of the game ball to the gate 28 as a trigger. The normal symbol display device 42 notifies the result of the normal symbol lottery based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 28 by displaying the normal symbols variably (variably displaying) and then stopping the display. A normal pattern to be stopped and displayed (a normal pattern stop pattern, a normal pattern derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one normal pattern selected from a plurality of types of normal patterns by a normal pattern lottery. When the stop-displayed normal symbol is a predetermined specific normal symbol (a normal symbol in a predetermined stop mode, that is, a normal winning symbol), the second starting port 21 is opened in an opening pattern according to the current game state. Auxiliary game is played to make it possible. The opening pattern of the second starting port 21 will be described later.

Specifically, the normal symbol display 42 is composed of, for example, two LEDs (see FIG. 3), and displays a normal symbol corresponding to the result of the normal symbol lottery by its lighting mode. For example, when the lottery result is a win, a normal win pattern with both LEDs lit up is displayed, such as "○○" (○: lit, ●: unlit). When the lottery result is a loss, a normal losing pattern is displayed, such as "●○", in which only the right LED lights up. A mode in which all the LEDs are extinguished may be employed as a normal losing pattern. Before the normal symbols are stop-displayed, the normal symbols are variably displayed (variable display) for a predetermined variable time, and the variable display mode is, for example, alternate lighting of both LEDs. It should be noted that the variable display mode may be anything, such as blinking all the LEDs all at once, unless each LED is stopped (lighted up in a specific mode).

In the pachinko game machine 1, when a game ball passes through the gate 28, the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) acquired for the passage is stored in the normal symbol reservation storage unit 86 (see FIG. 6). It is temporarily stored as figure pending. There is an upper limit to the number of normal pattern reservations that can be stored in the general pattern reservation storage unit 86, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is four.

The normal pattern reservation stored in the normal pattern reservation storage unit 86 is terminated when the variable display of the normal pattern based on the normal pattern reservation becomes possible. The digestion of the normal pattern reservation means that the normal design random number (hit random number) corresponding to the normal pattern reservation is determined, and the normal design variable display is performed to show the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine 1, when the variable display of the normal symbols based on the passage of the game ball through the gate 28 cannot be performed immediately after the passage, that is, during the execution of the variable display of the normal symbols or during the execution of the auxiliary game, a prize is won. Even if there is, with a predetermined number as the upper limit, it is possible to reserve the right of the normal symbol lottery for the passage.

And the number of such normal map reservations is displayed on the normal map reservation display 44 . Specifically, the normal map hold indicator 44 is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal map reserves by lighting the LEDs by the number of normal map reserves.

The distribution member solenoid 73 drives the distribution member 71 of the second big winning device 36 .

Furthermore, the main control board 80 includes a first special symbol display 41a, a second special symbol display 41b, a normal symbol display 42, a first special symbol reservation display 43a, a second special symbol reservation display 43b, and a general symbol display. A drawing hold indicator 44 is connected. That is, display control of these display devices 40 is performed by the game control microcomputer 81 .

Further, the main control board 80 transmits various commands to the payout control board 110 and receives signals from the payout control board 110 for payout monitoring. The payout control board 110 includes a prize ball payout device 120, a rental ball payout device 130, and a card unit 135 (installed adjacent to the pachinko game machine 1 to enable ball lending based on information such as the inserted prepaid card). ) are connected, and a launcher 112 is connected via a launch control circuit 111 . Launcher 112 includes a handle 60 (see FIG. 1).

The payout control board 110 drives the prize ball motor 121 of the prize ball payout device 120 based on the signal from the game control microcomputer 81 and the signal from the card unit 135 connected to the pachinko game machine 1 to release the prize balls. or drive the ball rental motor 131 of the rental ball dispenser 130 to discharge the rental ball. The prize balls to be paid out are detected by the prize ball sensor 122 for counting. Also, the rented balls to be paid out are detected by a ball rental sensor 132 for counting. When the player operates the handle 60 (see FIG. 1) of the shooting device 112, the touch switch 114 detects contact with the handle 60, and the shooting volume 115 detects the amount of rotation of the handle 60. Then, the shooting motor 113 is driven so that the game ball is shot with strength corresponding to the magnitude of the detection signal of the shooting volume 115 . In addition, in this pachinko game machine 1, one game ball is shot in about 0.6 seconds.

The main control board 80 also transmits various commands to the sub-control board 90 . The connection between the main control board 80 and the sub control board 90 is a unidirectional communication connection that allows only transmission of signals from the main control board 80 to the sub control board 90 . That is, between the main control board 80 and the sub-control board 90, a unidirectional circuit (for example, a circuit using a diode) (not shown) is interposed as communication direction control means.

As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control board 90 is mounted with an effect control one-chip microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as "effect control microcomputer") 91 that controls the effect of the pachinko game machine 1 according to a program. The effect control microcomputer 91 includes a ROM 93 that stores programs for controlling effects as the game progresses, a RAM 94 that is used as a work memory, and a CPU 92 that executes the programs stored in the ROM 93. . The performance control microcomputer 91 transmits and receives data to and from other boards and the like via an input/output circuit (I/O port section) 97 . The input/output circuit 97 may be built in the effect control microcomputer 91 . Also, the ROM 93 may be externally attached.

An image control board 100 , an audio control board 106 and a lamp control board 107 are connected to the sub-control board 90 . The effect control microcomputer 91 of the sub control board 90 causes the CPU 102 of the image control board 100 to perform display control of the image display device 7 based on the command received from the main control board 80 . The RAM 104 of the image control board 100 is a memory for developing image data. The ROM 103 of the image control board 100 stores still image data and moving image data to be displayed on the image display device 7, specifically, characters, items, figures, letters, numbers, symbols (including production patterns), background images, and the like. image data is stored. The CPU 102 of the image control board 100 reads out image data from the ROM 103 based on commands from the performance control microcomputer 91 . Then, display control is executed based on the read image data.

Also, the production control microcomputer 91 outputs voice, music, sound effects, etc. from the speaker 67 via the voice control board 106 based on the command received from the main control board 80 . Acoustic data such as voice output from the speaker 67 is stored in the ROM 93 of the sub-control board 90 . Note that a CPU may be mounted on the audio control board 106, and in that case, the CPU may be caused to execute audio control. Furthermore, in this case, a ROM may be mounted on the audio control board 106, and acoustic data may be stored in the ROM. Alternatively, the speaker 67 may be connected to the image control board 100 to cause the CPU 102 of the image control board 100 to perform voice control. Furthermore, in this case, the sound data may be stored in the ROM 103 of the image control board 100 .

Also, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs lighting control of lamps such as the frame lamp 66 and the board lamp 5 through the lamp control board 107 based on the command received from the main control board 80 . Specifically, the production control microcomputer 91 creates light emission pattern data (data for deciding on/off and emission color, also referred to as lamp data) that determines the light emission mode of each lamp, and according to the light emission pattern data, the frame lamp 66, the board It controls light emission of lamps such as the lamp 5 . Data stored in the ROM 93 of the sub-control board 90 is used to create the light emission pattern data.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, the decorative movable body 15 is a movable so-called gimmick provided on the center decorative body 10. As shown in FIG. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 91 creates operation pattern data (also referred to as drive data) that determines the operation mode of the decoration movable body 15, and controls the operation of the decoration movable body 15 according to the operation pattern data. Data stored in the ROM 93 of the sub-control board 90 is used to create the operation pattern data. A CPU may be mounted on the lamp control board 107 , and in that case, the CPU may be caused to control the lighting of the lamp and the operation control of the decorative movable body 15 . Furthermore, in this case, a ROM may be mounted on the lamp control board 107, and data relating to light emission patterns and operation patterns may be stored in the ROM.

Also, the sub-control board 90 is connected with a production button detection SW (switch) 63a for detecting that the production button 63 (see FIG. 1) is pressed. Therefore, when the effect button 63 is pressed, a signal is output to the sub-control board 90 from the effect button detection SW 63a.

3. Explanation of Big Wins, etc. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, there are "big wins", "small wins" and "lose" as the results of the big win lottery (special symbol lottery). Specifically, the results of the lottery for the first special symbol include "big hit", "small hit", and "loss", and the results of the lottery for the second special design include "big hit" and "small hit". be. In other words, there is no possibility of being "lost" in the lottery for the second special symbol. Note that "hit" includes both "big hit" and "small hit". In the case of a "big hit", the special symbol display 41 stops displaying the "big hit pattern". At the time of "small win", the special symbol display 41 stops displaying the "small win symbol". In the case of "loss", the special symbol display 41 stops and displays "missing symbol".

When a jackpot is won in a special pattern lottery, a "jackpot game (equivalent to a second special game)" is opened in which a first big prize winning port 30 is opened in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the stopped special pattern (type of jackpot). ” is executed. When a small win is won, there is a "small win game (equivalent to a first special game)" in which the second big winning port 35 is opened in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the special symbol (type of small win) that is stopped and displayed. executed. When the game ball enters the specific area 39 in the second big winning hole 35 during execution of the small winning game, the first big winning hole 30 is opened in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the winning small winning game. A "jackpot game" (second special game) is executed. Incidentally, the jackpot game executed based on the fact that the result of the special symbol lottery is the jackpot election is called the first kind jackpot game. Moreover, the jackpot game executed based on passage to the specific area 39 is called a two-kind jackpot game.

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

In addition, in this form, the small winning game is a small winning opening game that opens the second big winning opening 35, an opening (interval before opening) before the small winning opening game is started, and a small winning opening game. Later ending (post-closure interval).

As a result of the special symbol lottery, when a jackpot is won (that is, when a 1st jackpot is won), a jackpot game (1st jackpot game) for opening the first big prize opening 30 is executed. More specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, there are "10R (round) normal jackpot", "3R short-time jackpot", and "10R short-time jackpot" as types of jackpots. "10R normal jackpot" is a jackpot that controls the game state to "non-time saving state and low base state" described later after opening the first big winning hole 30 over 10R. The "3R time-saving jackpot" is a jackpot that controls the game state to the "time-saving state and high base state" described later after the first big winning hole 30 is opened over 3R. "10R time-saving jackpot" is a jackpot that controls the game state to "time-saving state and high base state" described later after opening the first big winning hole 30 for 10R. In any jackpot, the number of openings of the first big prize opening 30 per 1R is 1, and the maximum opening time is 29.5 seconds.

In addition, "10R normal jackpot" and "3R time-saving jackpot" may be won only in the lottery of the first special symbol (special figure 1). On the other hand, the "10R time-saving jackpot" may be won only in the lottery of the second special symbol (special figure 2). In addition, when the "10R normal jackpot" is won by lottery of the first special symbol, "special symbol 1_normal symbol" is stop-displayed on the first special symbol display 41a. Further, when the "3R time-saving jackpot" is won by lottery of the first special symbols, "special figure 1_time-saving design 1" is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 41a. In addition, when "10R time-saving jackpot" is won by lottery of the second special symbol, "special figure 2_time-saving symbol 2" is stop-displayed on the second special symbol display 41b.

On the other hand, if a small win is won as a result of the special symbol lottery, a small win game for opening the second big winning port 35 once is executed. When the game ball enters the second big winning port 35 opened by the small winning game and passes through the specific area 39 in the second big winning device 36, the game ball wins the big win and continues over 9R. A jackpot game (type 2 jackpot game) for opening the first big prize hole 30 is executed. When this two-type jackpot game is executed, the opening of the second big prize-winning opening 35 as the small jackpot game corresponds to the 1Rth. Therefore, the total number of rounds at this time is 10R. In addition, a big hit game and a small hit game may be called a special game. Also, in the special game, there may be rounds in which the big winning opening is opened multiple times during one round.

More specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, as types of small hits, "10R short time small per A", "10R short time small per B", "10R short time small per C", and "10R normal small per ”. For each type of small hit, a small hit game is performed, and if there is a passage of the game ball to the specific area 39 in the small hit game, a big hit game (2 types of jackpot game) is performed. If the game ball does not pass through the specific area 39 in the small winning game, the big winning game is not executed. "10R time saving small hit A" is a small hit that is substantially impossible to pass through the specific area 39 (also referred to as V passage). On the other hand, "10R time-saving small hit B", "10R time-saving small win C", and "10R normal small win" are small hits that can always pass V if the game is played right-handed. . Whether or not it is possible to pass the V during execution of the small winning game is determined by the operation pattern of the distribution member 71 and the opening pattern of the opening/closing member 37 .

In each type of small winning game, the second big winning opening 35 is opened once for 1.6 seconds. However, the opening time in each small winning game differs according to the type of small winning. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, it is about 4.6 seconds for the short time small per A, 21 seconds for the short time small per B, and 0.008 seconds for the short time small per C and the normal small per. The reason why the opening time of the small winning game differs according to the type of small winning is that the opening timing of the second large winning opening 35 with respect to the distribution member 71 moving in a constant motion from the start of this opening. to change the Thereby, a passage open pattern in which V passage is possible during execution of the small winning game and a non-pass opening pattern in which V passage is impossible (including substantially) during execution of the small winning game are created. It should be noted that the passing open pattern corresponds to the first open pattern. Also, the non-passing open pattern corresponds to the second open pattern. Details of the pass open pattern and the non-pass open pattern will be described later.

Also, in the jackpot game (2-type jackpot game) executed based on the passage of the game ball to the specific area 39, the first big prize opening 30 is opened in an opening pattern determined according to the type of the small hit. Specifically, the “10R time-saving small hit A” is the maximum opening time per 1R of 29.5 seconds, and after the execution of the two-type jackpot game that opens the first big winning hole 30 over 9R, the game state is changed as described later. It is a hit to control to "time saving state and high base state". However, since the "10R time-saving small hit A" is a small hit that is substantially impossible to pass through V, such a two-type jackpot game is almost never executed.

In addition, "10R short time small win B" and "10R short time small win C" are the maximum opening time per 1R of 29.5 seconds, and the first big winning hole 30 is opened over 9R. It is a hit to control the game state to "time saving state and high base state" described later. In addition, the "10R normal small win" sets the maximum opening time per 1R to 29.5 seconds from the 2nd to 5th rounds, and opens the first big winning port 30, and the maximum opening time per 1R from the 6th to 10th rounds. is 0.1 seconds, and after the execution of the two-kind big winning game that opens the first big winning hole 30, the game state is controlled to the "non-time saving state and low base state" described later. In other words, in this "10R normal small win", the opening time of the first big winning hole 30 is extremely short from the 6th round to the 10th round, and winning to the first big winning hole 30 cannot be expected. That is, it is a real 4R hit that can be expected to win a prize to the first big prize opening 30 for a total of 4R from the 2nd to the 5th round. It should be noted that the number of openings of the first big winning hole 30 per 1R in the two-kind jackpot game is one.

In addition, "10R time-saving small win A" and "10R time-saving small win B" may be won only in the lottery of the first special symbol. On the other hand, there is a possibility that "10R time-saving small win C" and "10R normal small win" will be won only in the lottery of the second special symbol. When "10R time-saving small winning A" is won by lottery of the first special symbol, "special figure 1_time-saving small winning symbol 1" is stop-displayed on the first special symbol display 41a. In addition, when "10R time-saving small winning B" is won by lottery of the first special symbol, "special figure 1_time-saving small winning symbol 2" is stop-displayed on the first special symbol display device 41a. Further, when "10R time-saving small winning C" is won by lottery of the second special symbol, "special figure 2_time-saving small winning symbol 3" is stop-displayed on the second special symbol display device 41b. In addition, when "10R normal small winning" is won by lottery of the second special symbol, "special figure 2_no time saving small winning symbol" is stop-displayed on the second special symbol display 41b. In addition, “10R short-time small hit A”, “10R short-time small hit B”, and “10R short-time small hit C” correspond to “small hit with privilege”, and “10R normal small hit” is “no special bonus” corresponds to

In addition, the probability of allocation to each jackpot in the lottery of the first special symbol (special figure 1) is 50% for the 10R normal jackpot and 50% for the 3R short-time jackpot. On the other hand, the jackpots won in the lottery of the second special symbol (special figure 2) are all 10R short-time jackpots. In addition, the distribution probability for each small hit in the lottery of the first special symbol is 99% for the 10R short-time small hit A (small hit that cannot be passed through V), and 99% for the 10R short-time small hit B (small hit that can pass V). is 1%. In addition, the distribution probability for each small hit in the lottery of the second special pattern is 50% for the 10R time-saving small hit C (V-passable short-time small hit) and 10R normal small hit (V-passable normal small hit). is 50%.

Here, in the pachinko game machine 1, a lottery to determine whether a big win or a small win is made based on a 'big win random number', and a lottery for the winning type is made based on a 'win type random number'. As shown in FIG. 7A, the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0-65535. The winning type random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. In addition to the jackpot random number and the winning type random number, the random number obtained based on the winning of the first start port 20 or the second start port 21 includes a "reach random number" and a "variation pattern random number".

The ready-to-win random number is a random number that determines whether or not to generate a ready-to-win in the effect symbol variation effect indicating the result when the result of the big hit determination is a loss. A reach is a state in which only one of the plurality of performance symbols that is variably displayed remains, and a jackpot is won depending on which symbol the variably displayed performance symbols are stopped and displayed. It is a state (for example, the state of "7↓7") that is a combination of the shown production patterns. And the ready-to-win mode is a display mode of the production pattern when the ready-to-win game is in effect. In addition, the performance symbols that are stopped and displayed in the ready-to-win state may be displayed as if they are slightly swaying within the display screen 7a. This reach random number takes a value in the range of 0-127.

Also, the fluctuation pattern random number is a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern including fluctuation time. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. Random numbers acquired based on passing through the gate 28 include normal symbol random numbers (hit random numbers) shown in FIG. 9(B). The normal symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (normal symbol lottery) as to whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 22 . The normal symbol random number takes a value in the range from 0 to 65535.

4. Explanation of Game State Next, the game state of the pachinko game machine 1 of this embodiment will be explained. The special symbol display device 41 and the normal symbol display device 42 of the pachinko game machine 1 have a variable time shortening function.

A state in which the variable time reduction function of the special symbol display 41 is activated is called a "time saving state", and a state in which it is not activated is called a "non-time saving state". In the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the time of derivation display of the display result) is shorter than the non-time saving state. That is, the variation pattern is determined using a variation pattern determination table that is determined so that a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected more than in the non-time saving state (see FIG. 9). That is, when the variable time shortening function of the special symbol display 41 is activated, a shorter variable time is likely to be selected as the variable display of the special symbols compared to when it is not activated. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure reservation becomes faster, and the effective winning to the starting opening (the winning that can be stored as the special figure reservation) is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit under the smooth progress of the game.

The variable time shortening function of the normal symbol display 42 operates in synchronization with the variable time shortening function of the special symbol display 41 . That is, the variable time shortening function of the normal symbol display 42 operates in the time saving state and does not operate in the non-time saving state. Therefore, in the time-saving state, the variation time of normal symbols is shorter than in the non-time-saving state. In the present embodiment, the variation time of normal symbols is 30 seconds in the non-time saving state, but is 1 second in the time saving state (see FIG. 8(E)). Furthermore, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 22 in the auxiliary game is longer than the non-time saving state (see FIG. 10). That is, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 22 is operating.

Under the condition that the fluctuation time reduction function of the normal symbol display 42 and the opening time extension function of the electric chew 22 are operating, the electric chew 22 is opened more frequently than when these functions are not operating. As a result, game balls enter the second starting port 21 frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of balls awarded to the number of balls fired, increases. Accordingly, the state in which these functions are activated is referred to as the "high base state" and the state in which they are not activated is referred to as the "low base state." In the high base state, you can aim for a big hit without greatly reducing the number of game balls you have. Note that the high base state is a state in which so-called electric support control (control for supporting the winning of the second starting port 21 by the electric chew 22) is being executed. Therefore, the high base state is also called an electric support control state. The low base state is also referred to as a non-electric support control state. The high base state corresponds to the "privilege game state".

In addition, in the high base state (situation in which the time saving state is operating), the function to increase the number of times the electric tube 22 is opened is not activated (see FIG. 10), but the function to increase the number of times the electric tube 22 is opened is activated. may That is, in the auxiliary game executed in the high base state, the number of opening times of the electric chew 22 may be larger than in the auxiliary game executed in the non-time saving state. Also, in the high base state, the probability variation function of the normal symbol display 42 may be activated. That is, the probability of winning the normal symbol lottery in the low base state may be set relatively low, and the probability of winning the normal symbol lottery in the high base state may be set relatively high. In this case, it is preferable to set the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery in the low base state to "zero". This is because it is possible to prevent the second special symbol lottery from being executed in the low base state. In other words, with this configuration, it is possible to prevent aggressive games aimed at execution of small winning games based on the lottery of the second special symbols despite the low base state.

Furthermore, the high base state may not be one in which all of the above functions are active. That is, operation of one or more of the variable time shortening function of the normal symbol display 42, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 22, the function of increasing the number of openings of the electric chew 22, and the probability variation function of the normal symbol display 42. Therefore, it is sufficient that the electric tube 22 can be opened more easily than when the function is not activated. Also, the high base state may be controlled independently without accompanying the time saving state.

In the pachinko game machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The game state after the jackpot game executed by winning C" is the time-saving state and the high-base state. The time-saving state and high-base state end when the variable display of special symbols is executed a predetermined number of times (99 times in this embodiment) or when a big win is won and the big win game is executed.

In addition, the game state after the big win game executed by winning the "10R normal big win" or "10R normal small win" is a non-time-saving state and a low base state (see FIG. 6). This game state is particularly referred to as a "normal game state". When the pachinko game machine 1 is played for the first time, the game state after the power is turned on is the normal game state.

In the high base state, the game can proceed more advantageously by entering the game ball into the right game area 3B (see FIG. 1) by striking to the right. This is because it is easier to open the electric tube 22 than in the low base state due to the electric sapo control, and it is easier to win the second starting port 21 than to win the first starting port 20. . Therefore, the game ball is passed through the gate 28 that triggers the normal symbol lottery, and the game ball is struck to the right to enter the second start port 21.例文帳に追加In addition, in this pachinko game machine 1, the game is played by hitting to the right even during the jackpot game.

On the other hand, in the low base state, the game can be played more advantageously by entering the game ball into the left game area 3A (see FIG. 1) by hitting to the left. Since the electric sapo control is not executed, it is difficult to open the electric chew 22 compared to the high base state, and winning the first starting port 20 is easier than winning the second starting port 21. It is because Therefore, left-handed hitting is performed in order to make the game ball enter the first starting port 20.例文帳に追加

5. Operation of Game Control Microcomputer 81 [Main Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 81 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 29. FIG. Note that the counter, timer, flag, status, buffer, etc. appearing in the explanation of the operation of the game control microcomputer 81 are provided in the RAM 84 . The game control microcomputer 81 provided on the main control board 80 reads and executes the main control main processing program shown in FIG. 11 from the ROM 83 when the pachinko game machine 1 is powered on. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, initial setting is first performed (step S001). Initial settings include, for example, stack setting, constant setting, interrupt time setting, CPU 82 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for interrupt time management) setting, various flags, status and counter resets. etc. The initial value of the flag is "0" or "OFF", the initial value of the status is "1", and the initial value of the counter is "0". Note that the initial setting (S001) is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

After the initial setting (S001), interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal design/special design main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003), various random number counter values shown in FIG. 7 are updated by adding one. When each random number counter value reaches the upper limit, it returns to "0" and is added again. The period initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than "0", or may be changed randomly. Also, each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generating circuit such as a counter IC.

When the normal design/special design main random number update process (S003) ends, the interrupt is permitted (S004). While interrupts are enabled, it is possible to execute main-side timer interrupt processing (S005). The main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the CPU 82, for example, at a 4 msec cycle. That is, it is executed, for example, at a 4 msec cycle. And, after the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is completed, before the next main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is started, various counters by normal design / special design main random number update processing (S003) Value update processing is repeatedly executed. If an interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 82 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt processing (S005) will not start immediately, but will start after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

[Main Side Timer Interrupt Processing] Next, the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, in main-side timer interrupt processing (S005), output processing (S101) is first executed. In the output process (S101), commands set in the output buffer provided in the RAM 84 of the main control board 80 in each process described below are output to the sub control board 90, the payout control board 110, and the like.

In the input process (S102) that follows the output process (S101), various sensors mainly attached to the pachinko game machine 1 (first start sensor 20a, second start sensor 21a, first big winning sensor 30a, the second big winning slot sensor 35a, the normal winning slot sensor 27a, etc. (see FIG. 4)) is read and stored in the output buffer of the RAM 84 as winning ball information. A detection signal from the lower tray full switch for detecting the fullness of the lower tray 62 is also taken in and stored in the output buffer of the RAM 84 as lower tray full data.

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

Normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S103) followed by sensor detection process (S104), normal operation process (S105), special operation process (S106), distribution member control process (S107), specific area sensor Execute the process (S108). After that, other processing (S109) is executed, and the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) ends. As other processing (S109), based on the number of special-figure 2 reserved balls described later, the second special-figure reservation display 43b is controlled to a display mode indicating the number, or based on the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls described later It controls the first special figure reservation display 43a to the display mode showing the number. Then, the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main processing is repeatedly executed until the next interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 82 (see FIG. 11). A side timer interrupt process (S005) is executed. In the output processing (S101) of the main timer interrupt processing (S005) executed again, the commands set in the output buffer of the RAM 84 in the previous main timer interrupt processing (S005) are output.

[Sensor detection process] As shown in FIG. 13, in the sensor detection process (S104), first, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 28, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the gate sensor 28a. S201). If the game ball has passed through the gate 28 (YES in S201), gate passage processing (S202), which will be described later, is performed. On the other hand, if the game ball has not passed through the gate 28 (NO in S201), the process passes through the gate passing process (S202) and proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second start hole 21, that is, whether or not a game ball has been detected by the second start hole sensor 21a (S203). If the game ball has not won the second start port 21 (NO in S203), the process proceeds to step S207, but if the game ball has won the second start port 21 (YES in S203), the special figure 2 Determining whether the number of pending balls (the number of second special pending, specifically the number of the counter that counts the number of second special pending provided in the RAM 84) has reached one (second upper limit number) (S204). Then, if the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has reached 1 (YES in S204), the process proceeds to step S207, but if the number of special figure 2 reserved balls is less than 1 (that is, if not) (NO in S204), 1 is added to the number of special figure 2 reserved balls (S205).

Then special figure 2 relation random number acquisition processing (S206) it does. In the special figure 2 random number acquisition process (S206), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A value), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS value), the reach random number counter value (label -TRND-RC value) and the value of the fluctuation pattern random number counter (label -TRND-T1 value) (that is, obtain the random value group shown in FIG. 7(A)), and use those obtained random values as the second It is stored in a storage area corresponding to the current number of special-figure 2-holding balls out of the special-figure holding storage unit 85b.

Subsequently, in the sensor detection process (S104), it is determined whether or not the game ball has entered the first start hole 20, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the first start hole sensor 20a (S207). When the game ball has not won the first start port 20 (NO in S207), this processing is finished, but when the game ball has won the first start port 20 (YES in S207), the special figure 1 Determining whether or not the number of pending balls (the number of the first special pending, specifically the number of the counter that counts the number of the first special pending in the RAM 84) has reached four (the first upper limit number) (S208). And, when the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has reached 4 (YES in S208), this process is finished, but when the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is less than 4 (NO in S208), "1" is added to the number of special figure 1 reserved balls (S209).

Subsequently, special figure 1 related random number acquisition processing (S210) is performed, and this processing ends. In the special figure 1-related random number acquisition process (S210), as in the special figure 2-related random number acquisition process (S206), the value of the jackpot random number counter (label-TRND-A value), the value of the hit type random number counter (label- TRND-AS value), reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC value) and fluctuation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1 value) (that is, the random number shown in FIG. 7 (A) A numerical value group is acquired), and those acquired random values are stored in a storage area corresponding to the current number of special figure 2 pending balls out of the first special figure pending storage unit 85a.

[Gate Passing Process] As shown in FIG. 14, in the gate passing process (S202), the number of normal design reserved balls (the number of normal design reservations, specifically the value of the counter that counts the number of normal design reservations provided in the RAM 84 ) is 4 or more (S301), and if the number of normal symbol reserved balls is 4 or more (YES in S301), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of normal design reserved balls is not 4 or more (NO in S301), "1" is added to the normal number of reserved design balls (S302), and normal design random number acquisition processing (S303) is performed. In the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S303), the normal symbol random number counter value (label-TRND-H value, FIG. 7(B)) is acquired, and the acquired random value is currently Stored in the storage area according to the number of normal design holding balls.

[Normal Operation Process] After the sensor detection process (S104), the game control microcomputer 81 performs the normal operation process (S105) shown in FIG. In the normal operation process (S105), first, it is determined whether or not the electric tube 22 is in operation (S401). If the electric chew is not in operation (NO in S401), then it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is being stopped (S402). If the normal symbols are not being stopped and displayed (NO in S402), then it is determined whether or not the normal symbols are being displayed in a variable manner (S403). If the variable display of normal symbols is not in progress (NO in S403), then it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of normal symbols is "0" (S404). If the number of reserved balls in the normal design is "0" (YES in S404), this process ends.

In step S404, if the number of reserved balls of normal symbols is not "0" (NO in S404), hit determination processing (S405) is performed. In the hit determination process (S405), the normal symbol random number counter value (label-TRND-H value) stored in the normal pattern reservation storage unit 86 is read, and the normal symbol hit determination table (hit Judgment value is "1" to "65535"). Then, a pattern determination process is performed to set the normal pattern stop pattern data according to the result of the hit determination in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 84 (S406). That is, in the symbol determination process (S406), if it is "losing", data corresponding to "general figure losing symbol" is set, and if "hitting", data corresponding to "normal winning symbol" is set.

Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 81 performs normal symbol variation time determination processing (S407). In normal design fluctuation time determination processing (S407), referring to the normal design fluctuation pattern selection table shown in FIG. Choose a pattern. On the other hand, if the game state is a non-time-saving state, a normal design variation pattern in which the normal design variation time is 30 seconds is selected.

Next, the game control microcomputer 81 decrements the number of normal symbol reserved balls by one (S408). Then, the storage location (storage area) of each general pattern reservation in the general pattern reservation storage unit 86 is shifted by one from the current position to the side to be read, and the memory corresponding to the fourth reservation in the general pattern reservation storage unit 86 Clear the area (storage area farthest from the read side) (S409). In this way, it is made to be digested in the order in which the general map reservation was reserved. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 starts variable display of normal symbols in the normal symbol variation pattern selected in step S407 (S410). Along with this, in order to inform the sub-control board 90 of the start of normal symbol variation, a normal symbol variation start command is set.

If it is during the fluctuation display of the normal design in the above step S403 (YES in S403), then it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the normal design has passed (S411), and if it has not passed, the process is finished. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S411), the variable display of the normal symbols is stopped with the display result (normal winning symbol or normal losing symbol) according to the determination result of the normal symbol random number (S412). Then, the normal symbol variation stop command for informing the sub-control board 90 of the normal symbol variation stop is set (S413), the normal symbol stop time is set (S414), and the process ends.

In addition, if the stop display of the normal design in the above-described step S402 (YES in S402), subsequently, it is determined whether or not the stop time of the normal design set in step S414 has passed (S415), and has passed. If not, terminate the process. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S415), it is determined whether or not the normal pattern stop pattern data of the normal winning pattern is set (S416), and if it is not the data of the normal winning pattern (that is, if it is not a hit (NO in S416)), and this process ends. On the other hand, if it is normal winning pattern data (that is, if it is winning (YES in S416)), the opening pattern of electric chew 22 is set (S417). Specifically, if it is in the time saving state, the opening pattern for the time saving state (see the electric chew opening TBL2 in FIG. 10) is set as the opening pattern of the electric chew 22 . On the other hand, if it is in the non-time-saving state, the open pattern (see electric-tube open TBL1 in FIG. 10) during the non-time-saving state is set as the open pattern of the electric tube 22 . Then, according to the opening pattern set in step S417, the electric tube 22 is operated (S418).

Also, if the electric tube 22 is in operation in the above step S401 (YES in S401), then it is determined whether or not the operation time of the electric tube 22 has elapsed (S419). Finish processing. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S419), the operation of the electric chew 22 is ended (S420).

[Special Action Processing] After the normal action processing (S105), the game control microcomputer 81 performs special action processing (S106) shown in FIG. In the special operation process (S106), the processing related to the special symbol display device 41 and the big winning device (the first big winning device 31 and the second big winning device 36) is divided into five stages, and "special operation status 1, 2, 3, 4, 5” are assigned. Then, if the "special action status" is "1" (YES in S901), a special symbol standby process (S902) is performed, and if the "special action status" is "2" (NO in S901) , YES in S903), perform special symbol fluctuation process (S904), and if the "special action status" is "3" (NO in both S901 and S903, YES in S905), special symbol determination process (S906 ) is performed, and when the "special action status" is "4" (NO in S901, S903, S905, YES in S907), special electric accessary processing 1 (S908) is performed as a jackpot game, and " If the special action status is "5" (S901, S903, S905, S907 are all NO), a special electric accessory process 2 (S909) as a small winning game is performed. Note that the special operation status is "1" by default.

[Special Symbol Standby Processing] As shown in FIG. 17, in the special symbol standby processing (S902), first, whether or not the number of reserved balls in the second starting port 21 (that is, the number of special figure 2 reserved balls) is "0". is determined (S1001). If the special figure 2 reserved ball number is "0" (YES in S1001), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 21, the first start It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of mouth 20 (that is, the number of reserved balls of special figure 1) is "0" (S1007). And if the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is also "0" (YES in S1007), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the first start port 20, already It is determined whether or not the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 is set to a standby screen (demonstration screen for customer waiting) (S1013). NO), the standby screen setting process (S1014) is performed. In the standby screen setting process (S1014), after a predetermined standby time has elapsed, a customer waiting standby command for displaying the standby screen is set.

In step S1001, if the number of special figure 2 reserved balls is not "0" (NO in S1001), that is, the storage of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 21 (special figure 2 reservation information ) is one or more, special figure 2 jackpot determination processing (S1002) and special figure 2 variation pattern selection processing (S1003) to be described later are performed. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 decrements the number of special figure 2 reserved balls by 1 (S1004). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the first reservation in the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b Clear the storage area corresponding to (S1005). Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 81 executes special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S1006). In the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1006), while setting the special operation status to "2", the fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer of the RAM 84, and the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is started. In addition, the variation start command (also called the special figure 2 variation start command) set in the special figure 2 variation start process (S1006) includes the special figure stop design data set in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1002) Information (including information on the types of jackpots and small hits) and information on the variation pattern set in the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1003) (information including information on variation time) is included.

Also, if the number of special 2 reserved balls is "0" but the number of special 1 reserved balls is not "0" (YES in S1001 and NO in S1007), that is, there is no reservation information of special 2, If there is one or more memories of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the 1 start port 20 (reservation information of special figure 1), special figure 1 jackpot determination processing (S1008) and special figure to be described later 1 fluctuation pattern selection processing (S1009) is performed. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 decrements the number of special figure 1 reserved balls by 1 (S1010). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the first special figure reservation storage unit 85a is shifted by one to the side to be read from the current position, and the fourth reservation in the first special figure reservation storage unit 85a (S1011). In this way, the first special figure reservation is digested in the order in which it was reserved. Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 81 executes special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S1012). In the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1012), while setting the special operation status to "2", the fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer of the RAM84, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is started. In addition, the variation start command (also called the special figure 1 variation start command) set in the special figure 1 variation start process (S1012) includes the special figure stop pattern data set in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1008). Information (including information on the types of jackpots and small hits) and information on the variation pattern set in the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1009) (information including information on variation time) is included.

As described above, in this embodiment, the variable display of the special symbols based on the first special figure reservation is performed only when the second special figure reservation is "0" (YES in S1001). That is, digestion of the second special figure reservation is executed with priority over digestion of the first special figure reservation. And in this form, there is no loss in the lottery based on the second special reservation, and except for the case of winning the big win, the small win is always won, and in the small win game, the specific area 39 can be passed without fail. It has become. That is, if the lottery based on the second special figure reservation is made, the jackpot game is always executed (the jackpot is won). This point will be described in detail later.

[Special figure 2 jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process)] Special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1002) and special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1008) have the same processing flow, so based on FIG. will be explained together. As shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1002) or the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1008), first, as the determination value, the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A value) is read (S1101 ). Specifically, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1002), the jackpot random number counter value stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b of the RAM84 is read. Also, in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1008), the jackpot random number counter value stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 85a of the RAM 84 (more specifically, the storage area corresponding to the first one of the first special figure reservation) read out.

Next, the jackpot determination table (FIG. 8A) is set (S1102). Next, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the set big hit determination table (S1103). That is, it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A) matches one of the jackpot determination values "65300" to "65535" (see FIG. 8A). If the result of the jackpot determination (S1103) is "jackpot", the jackpot flag is turned ON (S1104), and the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS value) is read and shown in FIG. 8 (B) The jackpot type is determined based on the hit type determination table (S1105). After judging the jackpot type (S1105), the special figure stop pattern data (see FIG. 6) corresponding to the jackpot type (jackpot pattern type) is set in the hit type buffer provided in the RAM 84 (S1106) and the process is finished. .

On the other hand, if the result of big hit determination (S1103) is not "big hit", it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (S1107). Specifically, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1002), it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number counter value matches any of the small hit determination values "0" to "65299" (Fig. 8 (A) See the special figure 2 column). Also, in the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S1008), it is determined whether the big hit random number counter value matches any of the small hit determination values "0" to "3500" (the special figure in FIG. 8 (A) 1 column). In addition, the probability of winning a small hit is higher in the lottery of the special figure 2 than in the lottery of the special figure 1.

If the result of the small hit determination (S1107) is "small hit", the small hit flag is turned ON (S1108), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS value) is read, and FIG. ) determines the small hit type based on the hit type determination table shown in (S1109). After judging the small hit type (S1109), the special figure stop design data (see FIG. 6) corresponding to the small hit type (type of small hit design) is set in the hit type buffer provided in the RAM 84 (S1110). Finish processing. In addition, a random number for determining whether or not it is a small hit may be provided separately from the big hit random number.

Also, if it is not a big hit (NO at S1103) or a small hit (NO at S1107), it is "losing", so the special stop design data (01H) corresponding to the losing design is set (S1111), Finish this processing. In this form, while the result may be "losing" in the lottery of special figure 1, in the lottery of special figure 2, the small winning probability in each lottery so that the result will not be "losing" is set (see FIG. 8A).

[Special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (special figure 1 variation pattern selection process)] Special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1003) and special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1009) Because the flow of processing is the same A collective description will be given with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1003) or the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1009) first determines whether the gaming state is a time saving state (whether the time saving flag is ON). (S1301).

If it is not a time saving state (NO in S1301), that is, if it is a non time saving state, then it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1302). If it is ON (YES in S1302), referring to the non-time-saving state jackpot table (the part corresponding to the non-time-saving state and jackpot of the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9), the variation pattern random number counter value (label- A variation pattern is selected based on (TRND-T1 value) (S1303). It should be noted that once the variation pattern is determined, the variation time is also determined.

Also, in step S1302, if the big hit flag is not ON (NO in S1302), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is ON (S1304). If it is ON (YES in S1304), refer to the non-time-saving state medium-small hit table (the part corresponding to the non-time-saving state and small hit of the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9), based on the fluctuation pattern random number counter value to select a variation pattern (S1305).

Also, in step S1304, if the small hit flag is not ON (NO in S1304), it is determined whether or not the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC value) is the reach establishment random number value (S1306). As shown in FIG. 8(C), the reach establishment random number is "0" to "5" in the time saving state, and "0" to "13" in the non-time saving state. That is, the time-saving state is less likely to reach when losing than the non-time-saving state. This is in order to speed up the digestion speed of the special figure pending by making it possible to select more short reach no loss with short fluctuation time in the time saving state. If the reach random number counter value is a reach establishment random value (YES in S1306), that is, in the case of reach loss, there is reach during non-time-saving state Loss table (non-time-saving state out of the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9 And the part corresponding to the loss with reach) is referred to, and a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1307).

On the other hand, if the reach random number counter value is not a reach establishment random value (NO in S1306), that is, in the case of reach no loss, the reach no loss table in the non-time saving state (non-time saving out of the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9 The part corresponding to the state and no reach loss) is referred to, and a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1308). At the time of this reach-less loss, the function of shortening variation according to the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is to work. That is, when the number of reserved balls of the first special symbol is "3" or "4", the fluctuation time is shorter than when the number of reserved balls of the first special symbol is "0" to "2". A variation pattern is selected.

Also, in step S1301, if it is determined that the gaming state is the time saving state (YES in S1301), as shown in FIG. The process (S1309 to S1315) is performed in the same flow as the above steps S1302 to S1308 except that the part corresponding to the time saving state in the determination table). That is, if the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S1309), referring to the jackpot table in the time saving state (the part corresponding to the time saving state and jackpot in the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9), the fluctuation pattern random number counter value A variation pattern is selected based on (S1310).

Also, if the small hit flag is ON (YES in S1311), referring to the time saving state medium and small hitting table (the part corresponding to the time saving state and small hit of the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9), the fluctuation pattern random number counter A variation pattern is selected based on the value (S1312). Also, if the reach random number counter value is a reach establishment random value (YES in S1313), refer to the loss table with reach in the time saving state (the part corresponding to the loss with reach and the time saving state in the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9) Then, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1314). Also, if the reach random number counter value is not a reach establishment random value (NO in S1313), refer to the loss table without reach in the time saving state (the part corresponding to the time saving state and no reach loss in the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9) Then, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1315).

After selecting the variation pattern as described above, as shown in FIG. 19, the selected variation pattern is set (S1316), and this process ends. Information on the variation pattern set in step S1316 is included in the variation start command set in step S1006 or S1012 in the special symbol standby process (S902).

[Special symbol fluctuation process] As shown in FIG. 21, in the special symbol fluctuation process (S904), first, the special symbol fluctuation time (variation time determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected in step S1003 or S1009, FIG. 9 See) has passed (S1501). If it has not passed (NO in S1501), this processing ends immediately. As a result, the variable display of the special symbols is continued.

On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has elapsed (YES in S1501), a fluctuation stop command is set (S1502), and the special action status is set to "3" (S1503). Then, after performing other processing such as stopping the variable display of the special symbols with the symbols (big winning symbols, small winning symbols or losing symbols) according to the set special symbols stop symbol data (S1504), this Finish processing.

[Special Symbol Confirmation Process] As shown in FIG. 22, in the special symbol confirmation process (S906), first, it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop time has elapsed (S1601). If it has not passed (NO in S1601), this process is terminated immediately. On the other hand, if the stop time has passed (YES in S1601), a game state management process, which will be described later, is performed (S1602).

Next, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1603). If the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S1603), the special action status is set to "4" (S1604). Then, the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the time saving flag is ON (S1605), and if it is not ON, it proceeds to step S1607, but if it is ON, it turns off the time saving flag (S1606) and proceeds to step S1607. . Thereby, it is controlled in a non-time-saving state during execution of a jackpot game. Since it is always in a low base state at the time of non-time-saving state in this form, it will also be controlled by a low base state during execution of a jackpot game.

After that, in order to start the jackpot game, a jackpot opening command is set (S1607), and the opening of the jackpot game is started (S1608). Following step S1608, the game control microcomputer 81 sets an opening pattern (see FIG. 6 for details) according to the type of jackpot won (S1609). At this time, the value of a large winning opening opening counter for counting the number of openings of the large winning opening during the special game is set to a value corresponding to the type of the winning jackpot. Note that the setting of the release pattern (the set of data corresponding to the release pattern) may be performed for each round.

On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not ON in step S1603 (NO in S1603), then it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is ON (S1610). If the small hit flag is ON (YES in S1610), the special operation status is set to "5" (S1611). When the small hit flag is ON, it is not turned OFF even if the time saving flag is ON. After that, in order to start the small winning game, the opening command of the small winning is set (S1612), and the opening of the small winning game is started (S1613).

Following step S1613, the game control microcomputer 81 sets an opening pattern (see FIG. 6 for details) according to the type of the winning small win (S1614). At this time, the value of the big winning hole opening counter is set to a value corresponding to the type of the small win won. After that, the game control microcomputer 81 turns ON the distribution member operation flag (S1615), and ends this process. The distribution member operation flag is a flag indicating that it is a period for operating the distribution member 71 . That is, in this form, the operation of the distribution member 71 is started with the opening of the small winning game. In addition, the operation pattern of the distribution member will be described in detail later.

If the small hit flag is not ON in step S1610 (NO in S1610), neither the big hit game nor the small hit game is started, so the special operation status is set to "1" (S1616), and this process ends.

[Game State Management Processing] As shown in FIG. 23, in the game state management processing (S1602), first, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is ON (S1701). The value of the time saving counter that counts the number of times is decremented by 1 (S1702), and it is determined whether the value of the time saving counter is "0" (S1703). And if it is "0", the time saving flag is turned OFF (S1704). In addition, in the pachinko game machine 1, the value of the time saving counter is set to "99" when shifting to the time saving state. This point will be described later. After that, in step S1705, the game control microcomputer 81 sets the game state designation command including the information of the game state just set in the output buffer of the RAM 84, and ends this processing.

[Special electric role process 1 (jackpot game)] The special electric role process 1 is a process for executing a jackpot game (second special game) such as a type 1 jackpot game or a type 2 jackpot game. As shown in FIG. 24, in the special electric accessary product process 1 (S908), first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot end flag is ON (S2001). The jackpot end flag is a flag indicating that the first big prize winning device 31 has been completely opened in the winning jackpot game.

If the jackpot end flag is not ON (NO in S2001), it is determined whether or not the first big winning port 30 is open (that is, whether or not the first big winning device 31 is open) (S2002). If it is not open (NO in S2002), whether it is time to open the first big prize winning opening 30, that is, at the time to start opening the first big winning opening 30 after the opening time of the jackpot has passed. It is determined whether or not the opening interval time has passed and the time to start the next opening has arrived (S2003).

If the determination result in step S2003 is NO, the process ends. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S2003 is YES, the first big winning hole 30 is opened according to the set opening pattern (S2004).

If the first big winning hole 30 is open in step S2002 (YES in S2002), the number of winnings to the first big winning hole 30 in the unit open game reaches the specified maximum winning number (8 in this embodiment). It is determined whether or not it has reached (S2005). If the prescribed number of prizes has not been reached (NO in S2005), it is determined whether or not the time has come to close the first large prize winning port 30 (that is, the predetermined opening time after opening the first large prize winning port 30 (see FIG. 6). ) has elapsed) is determined (S2006). Then, if the opening time of the first big winning hole 30 has not passed (NO in S2006), this process ends.

On the other hand, if the specified winning number has been reached (YES in S2005) or if the opening time of the first big winning port 30 has passed (YES in S2006), one of the two opening end conditions is met. If it is satisfied, the first big prize winning opening 30 is closed (blocked) (S2007). Then, the value of the large winning opening open counter is decremented by 1 (S2008), and it is determined whether or not the value of the large winning opening open counter is "0" (S2009). If it is not "0" (NO in S2009), the process ends as it is to start the next release.

On the other hand, if it is "0" (YES in S2009), a jackpot ending command is set to end the jackpot game (S2010), and the jackpot ending is started (S2011). Then, the jackpot end flag is set and the process ends (S2012).

Also, if the jackpot end flag is ON in step S2001 (YES in S2001), it is determined whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed since the opening of the first jackpot winning port 30 in the jackpot game has all been completed. (S2013), and if the ending time has not passed (NO in S2013), the process ends. On the other hand, if the ending time has passed (YES in S2013), the jackpot end flag is turned OFF (S2014), and the jackpot flag is turned OFF (S2015). Then, after setting the special action status to "1" (S2016), a game state setting process (S2017), which will be described later, is performed, and this process ends.

[Game state setting process] As shown in FIG. 25, in the game state setting process (S2017), first, the big hit game executed this time is a time saving hit (that is, "3R time saving jackpot", "10R time saving small hit A", "10R time It is determined whether or not it is a jackpot game executed with the winning of "short and small winning B", "10R short working time jackpot", or "10R short working time small winning C" (S2101). If the determination result of step S2101 is YES, the time saving flag is turned ON (S2102), the time saving counter is set to "99" (S2103), and this process is finished. As a result, the game state after the big hit game this time becomes the time saving state and the high base state (privilege game state). This privilege game state ends when either condition is established that the special symbols are displayed 99 times or that the player wins the next jackpot. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S2101 is NO, this processing ends without performing steps S2102 and S2103.

[Special Electric Accessory Process 2 (Small Winning Game)] The special electric accessary product processing 2 is for executing a small winning game (first special game) that opens the second big winning device 36 having the specific area 39. processing. As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, in the special electric auditors processing 2 (S909), first, it is determined whether or not the small hit end flag is ON (S2301). The small winning end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the second big winning device 36 has ended in the small winning game.

If the small hit end flag is not ON (NO in S2301), it is determined whether or not the second big winning port 35 is open (that is, whether or not the second big winning device 36 is open) (S2302). If it is not open (NO in S2302), whether or not the time to open the second big winning hole 35 has come, that is, the time of the predetermined interval before opening (opening of the small win) has passed and the second big winning hole It is determined whether or not it is time to start opening 35 (S2303).

If the determination result in step S2303 is NO, the process ends. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S2303 is YES, the second big winning hole 35 is opened according to the opening pattern (see FIG. 8) corresponding to the type of small win being won (S2304).

In step S2302, if the second large prize winning port 35 is open (YES in S2302), whether or not the number of prizes into the second large prize winning port 35 has reached the prescribed maximum number of prizes (8 in this embodiment) is determined (S2305). If the number of winning prizes has not reached the prescribed number (NO in S2305), it is determined whether or not the time has come to close the second big prize winning port 35 (that is, the predetermined opening time after opening the second big prize winning port 35 (see FIG. 6). As shown, it is determined whether or not 1.6 seconds have elapsed in this embodiment (S2306). Then, if the opening time of the second big winning hole 35 has not passed (NO in S2306), this processing is finished.

On the other hand, if the specified winning number has been reached (YES in S2305) or if the opening time of the second big winning port 35 has passed (YES in S2306), one of the two opening end conditions is met. If it is satisfied, the second big winning opening 35 is closed (blocked) (S2307). Then, the value of the big winning opening open counter is decremented by 1 (S2308), the small winning end flag is set (S2309), and this processing is finished.

Also, if the small hit end flag is ON in step S2301 (YES in S2301), as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it has passed (S2310), and if the post-closure interval time has not passed (NO in S2310), the process ends. In addition, the time of the interval after closing the small winning game will be described later. On the other hand, if the time of the interval after closing has passed (YES in S2310), the small hit end flag is turned OFF (S2311), the small hit flag is turned OFF (S2312), and the process proceeds to step S2313.

In step S2313, it is determined whether or not the V flag is ON. The V flag is a flag indicating that the game ball has passed through the specific area 39 during execution of the small winning game, and is a flag that is turned ON in step S2603 (see FIG. 29) to be described later. If this V flag is not ON (NO in S2313), the two-type jackpot game is not executed, so the value of the big winning opening counter is cleared to "0" (S2314), and the special action status is set to "1". Set (S2315) to end the process.

On the other hand, if the V flag is ON (YES in S2313), the game control microcomputer 81 turns OFF the V flag (S2317) and turns ON the jackpot flag (S2318) in order to execute the two-type jackpot game. , the special operation status is set to "4" (S2319). Subsequently, if the time saving flag is ON (YES in S2320), the time saving flag is turned OFF (S2321). Then, the jackpot opening command is set (S2322), and the jackpot opening is started (S2323). As a result, the small winning game in which the second big winning opening 35 is opened for a short period of time is shifted to the second big winning game.

[Distribution member control processing] The game control microcomputer 81 performs the distribution member control processing (S107) following the special action processing (S106) (see FIG. 12). In the distribution member control process (S107), as shown in FIG. 28, first, it is determined whether or not the distribution member operation flag is ON (S2501). If the distribution member operation flag is not ON, this process is finished. On the other hand, if the distribution member operation flag is ON, since the opening of the small winning game has started (see FIG. 22), the distribution member operation processing ( S2502) is performed, and V effective period setting processing (S2503) is performed.

In the distribution member operation processing (S2502), a timer for measuring the operation time of the distribution member 71 is set, and based on the time measurement using the timer, the distribution member is activated when the distribution member 71 is opened. The solenoid 73 is turned on, and when the closing timing of the distribution member 71 comes, the distribution member solenoid 73 is turned off. As a result, the distribution member 71 moves in a constant motion from the start of the opening of the small winning game.

As shown in FIG. 34(c), first, the distribution member 71 is controlled to a passage blocking state (a state indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 2) over 8 ms from the start of the opening of the small winning game. This is called a pre-release interval. Subsequently, the passage is allowed to pass for 4600 ms (the state indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 2). This is called 1st V opening. Next, it is controlled to the pass blocking state for 16392 ms. This is called an interval between openings. After that, it is controlled to the passage permitting state again for 4600 ms. This is called the second V opening. Then, it is controlled to the pass blocking state for 3000 ms. This is called the post-closure interval. The constant operation of the distribution member 71 is a series of operations such as "interval before opening→opening of the first V→interval between openings→opening of the second V→interval after closing".

Also, in the V effective period setting process (S2503), the V effective period is set for the constant operation of the distribution member 71 as described above. The V valid period is a period during which the V flag is turned ON when the detection by the specific area sensor 39a is detected, assuming that the detection is valid. As shown in FIG. 34(d), the V effective period is from the start of opening of the specific area 39 (at the time when the distribution member 71 is controlled to the passage permitting state) until a predetermined time elapses. The predetermined time is set to be longer than the opening time of the specific area 39 (the time during which the distribution member 71 is controlled to allow passage). This is in consideration of the time lag until the game ball that has passed through the arrangement position of the distribution member 71 reaches the specific area 39 .

Specifically, in the V valid period setting process (S2503), a timer for measuring the V valid period is set, and based on the time measurement using the timer, when the timing for validating the specific area 39 comes, the V valid period is set. The flag is turned ON, and the V valid flag is turned OFF when the timing for invalidating the specific area 39 comes. In step S2602 of the specific area sensor detection process (S108), which will be described later, it is determined whether or not the V valid period is in effect by determining whether or not the V valid flag is ON.

Following the V valid period setting process (S2503), the game control microcomputer 81 determines whether or not the operation of the distribution member 71 has ended (S2504). Specifically, based on the timer for measuring the operation time of the distribution member 71 set in step S2502, the total operation time (28600 ms (Fig. 34(c))) has passed. Then, if the operation of the distribution member 71 has not ended, the processing is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the operation of the distribution member 71 has ended, the distribution member operation flag is turned OFF (S2505), and then this processing ends.

Here, based on FIG. 34, the relationship between the constant operation of the distribution member 71 as described above and the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 35 (opening/closing member 37) in the small winning game will be described. In this form, there are three opening patterns shown in FIGS. 34(b), (e), and (f) as opening patterns of the second big winning opening 35 in the small winning game. In addition, FIG. 34(a) shows the timing of the variable display and the stop display of the special symbol in order to make the timing of starting the small winning game easy to understand.

The opening pattern shown in FIG. 34(b) is an opening pattern selected when a small hit is won in the special figure 2 lottery. In other words, it is an open pattern selected when "10R time-saving small win C" or "10R normal small win" (see FIG. 6) is won. This open pattern is a pass open pattern (first pass open pattern) that allows passage to the specific area 39 .

More specifically, in this first passage opening pattern, after closing the second large winning opening 35 for 8 ms, the second large winning opening 35 is opened for 1600 ms, and then the second large winning opening 35 is closed for 6000 ms. Open pattern. In other words, the small winning game executed in this opening pattern consists of an opening in which the second large winning opening 35 is closed for 8 ms, a small winning opening game in which the second large winning opening 35 is opened for 1600 ms, and 6000 ms. It includes an after-closure interval during which the second big winning port 35 is closed.

When the second large prize winning port 35 is opened in such an opening pattern, the distribution member When the first V of 71 is opened, the distribution member 71 is in the passage permitting state (see FIGS. 34(b) and 34(c)). Therefore, the game ball can pass through the specific area 39 no matter what winning timing the game ball enters the second big winning hole 35 . In addition, in this embodiment, if the game ball is continuously shot by hitting to the right, the second large prize winning opening 35 is ensured to win the game ball during the opening period of 1.6 seconds. Each device such as a winning device 36 is arranged. In addition, the time required for the game ball that has passed through the second large prize winning port 35 to reach the arrangement position of the distribution member 71 is 3000 ms (from the timing when the second large prize winning port 35 is closed, the first V opening of the distribution member 71 is shorter than the time to end timing).

The open pattern shown in FIG. 34(e) is an open pattern selected when "10R time-saving small hit B" (see FIG. 6) is won in the special drawing 1 lottery. This open pattern is also a pass open pattern (second pass open pattern) that allows passage to the specific area 39 . The opening time differs between this second passage opening pattern and the above-described first passage opening pattern.

More specifically, in this second passage opening pattern, after closing the second large winning opening 35 for 21000 ms, the second large winning opening 35 is opened for 1600 ms, and then the second large winning opening 35 is closed for 6000 ms. Open pattern. In other words, the small winning game executed in this opening pattern includes an opening in which the second large winning opening 35 is closed over 21000ms, a small winning opening game in which the second large winning opening 35 is opened over 1600ms, and a 6000ms opening. It includes an after-closure interval during which the second big winning port 35 is closed.

When the second large prize winning port 35 is opened in such an opening pattern, the distribution member When the second V of 71 is opened, the distribution member 71 is in the passage permitting state (see FIGS. 34(e) and 34(c)). Therefore, the game ball can pass through the specific area 39 no matter what winning timing the game ball enters the second big winning hole 35 .

The open pattern shown in FIG. 34(f) is an open pattern selected when "10R time-saving small hit A" (see FIG. 6) is won in the special drawing 1 lottery. This open pattern is a non-pass open pattern in which passage to the specific area 39 is substantially impossible.

More specifically, this non-passing opening pattern closes the second big winning hole 35 for 4568 ms, then opens the second big winning hole 35 for 1600 ms, and then closes the second big winning hole 35 for 2008 ms. It's a pattern. In other words, the small winning game executed in this opening pattern consists of an opening in which the second large winning opening 35 is closed for 4568 ms, a small winning opening game in which the second large winning opening 35 is opened for 1600 ms, and a small winning opening game for 2008 ms. and an interval after closure during which the second big winning port 35 is closed.

When the second big winning hole 35 is opened in such an opening pattern, the first V opening of the distribution member 71 is almost completed during the opening (see FIGS. 34(f) and (c)). The period in which the opening of the first V of the distribution member 71 and the opening of the second big winning opening 35 coincide is only 40 ms immediately after the opening of the second big winning opening 35 starts. Therefore, even if a game ball enters with the start of opening of the second big winning hole 35, the distribution member 71 is controlled to the passage blocking state by the time the game ball reaches the position of the distribution member 71. there is Therefore, when this open pattern is selected, the game ball almost never passes through the specific area 39 . In other words, it is substantially impossible for the game ball to pass through the specific area 39 .

As described above with reference to FIG. 34, in this embodiment, the operation of the distribution member 71 is started with the start of the opening of the small winning game. Then, the small winning game is executed in one of the three opening patterns according to the kind of small winning. Each opening pattern has a different opening time. Therefore, in each opening pattern, the opening timing of the second big winning opening 35 with respect to the displacement timing of the distribution member 71 is different. Thus, a small winning game that can pass through the specific area 39 regardless of the winning timing to the second big winning opening 35 (special 2V passing small win in FIG. 34 (b) and special 1V passing small win in FIG. 34 (e)) And, it is possible to execute a small winning game (special 1V non-passing small winning in FIG. 34 (f)) that can not pass through the specific area 39 even if the second big winning opening 35 is won at any timing. It is possible.

[Specific area sensor detection process] Returning to the description of the operation of the game control microcomputer 81. FIG. The game control microcomputer 81 performs a specific area sensor detection process (S108) following the distribution member control process (S107) (see FIG. 12). In the specific area sensor detection process (S108), as shown in FIG. 29, first, it is determined whether or not a gaming ball has been detected by the specific area sensor 39a (S2601). If there is no detection (NO at S2601), the process ends. If there is detection (YES at S2601), it is determined whether or not it is within the V valid period (S2602). The V valid period is a period set in the V valid period setting process (S2503) in the above-described distribution member control process (see FIG. 28). Specifically, the V valid period is the period shown in FIG. 34(d).

If it is determined in step S2602 that the V valid period is in effect (YES in S2602), the V flag is turned ON (S2603), the V passage command is set (S2604), and the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2602 that the V valid period is not in effect (NO in S2602), the specific area sensor detection process ends without performing the processes in steps S2603 and S2604. The V-passage command is a command for causing the sub-control board 90 to notify of V-passage (passage of the specific region 39).

6. Operation of Effect Control Microcomputer 91 [Sub Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 91 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, a counter, a timer, a flag, a status, a buffer, etc. appearing in the description of the performance control microcomputer 91 are provided in the RAM 94 . The effect control microcomputer 91 provided on the sub-control board 90 reads and executes the sub-control main processing program shown in FIG. 30 from the ROM 93 when the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main processing, CPU initialization processing is first performed (S4001). In the CPU initialization process (S4001), stack setting, constant setting, CPU 92 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are set.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM 94 are normal (S4002). If the determination result is NO, the RAM 94 is initialized (S4003), and the process proceeds to step S4004. On the other hand, if the determination result is YES (YES in S4002), the RAM 94 is not initialized and the process proceeds to step S4004. That is, if the power-off signal is not ON, or if the contents of the RAM 94 are not normal even if the power-off signal is ON (NO in S4002), the RAM 94 is initialized. However, if the contents of the RAM 94 are maintained normally (YES in S4002), the RAM 94 is not initialized. By initializing the RAM 94, the values of various flags, statuses, counters, etc. are reset. Also, these steps S4001 to S4003 are executed only once after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

In step S4004, interrupts are prohibited. Next, random number seed update processing is executed (S4005). In the random number seed update process (S4005), the values of various effect determination random number counters are updated. In addition, the random number for determining the effect includes the random number for determining the effect pattern for determining the effect pattern, the random number for determining the variable effect pattern for determining the variable effect pattern, and the random number for determining the effect pattern for determining various advance effects. There are random numbers, etc. The random number update method can be the same method as the random number update process performed by the main control board 80 described above. Instead of adding 1 to the random value at the time of updating, it is also possible to add 2 at a time. This also applies to the random number update process performed by the main control board 80 described above.

When the random number seed update process (S4005) ends, the command transmission process is executed (S4006). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer within the RAM 94 of the sub-control board 90 are transmitted to the image control board 100 . The image control board 100 that has received the command executes various effects (effect pattern variation effect, opening effect associated with a special game, open game effect, ending effect, etc.) using the image display device 7 according to the command. In addition, as the image control board 100 executes various effects, the sub-control board 90 outputs sound from the speaker 67 via the sound control board 106, and outputs the frame lamp 66 and the board lamp via the lamp control board 107. 5 is made to emit light, and the decoration movable body 15 is driven. The effect control microcomputer 91 then permits an interrupt (S4007). Thereafter, steps S4004 to S4007 are looped. While interrupts are enabled, reception interrupt processing (S4008), 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) can be executed.

[Receive Interrupt Processing] In the receive interrupt processing (S4008), as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not an input has been made to the external INT input section (S4101). If the strobe signal is not ON, the process is terminated, and if it is ON, various commands transmitted from the main control board 80 are stored in the reception buffer of the RAM 94 (S4102). This reception interrupt process is a process that is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4009, S4010).

[1 ms Timer Interrupt Processing] The 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009) is executed each time an interrupt pulse having a period of 1 msec is input to the sub-control board 90. FIG. As shown in FIG. 32, in the 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), first, input processing (S4201) is performed. In the input process (S4201), switch data (edge data and level data) is created based on the detection signal from the production button detection switch 63a (see FIG. 5).

Subsequently, lamp data output processing (S4202) is performed. In the lamp data output process (S4202), the lamp data created in the other process (S4304) in the 10ms timer interrupt process described later is sent to the lamp control board 107 so that the frame lamp 66 and the board lamp 5 are illuminated at a timing suitable for the performance. Output. That is, according to the lamp data, the frame lamp 66 is caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode.

Next, drive control processing (S4203) is performed. In the drive control process (S4203), drive data (data for driving the movable decoration 15) is created and output in order to drive the movable decoration 15 at a timing suitable for the performance. That is, according to the drive data, the decorative movable body 15 is driven in a predetermined operation mode.

Then, watchdog timer processing (S4204) for resetting the watchdog timer is performed, and this processing ends.

[10 ms Timer Interrupt Processing] The 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a period of 10 msec is input to the sub-control board 90. FIG. As shown in FIG. 33, in the 10ms timer interrupt processing (S4010), first, received command analysis processing is performed (S4301). In the received command analysis process (S4301), the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not the variation start command is received from the game control microcomputer 81, and if received, the variation effect pattern selection process (special figure to be described later). 2 including fluctuation effect pattern determination processing) is executed. Also, in the received command analysis process (S4301), it is determined whether or not an opening command is received from the game control microcomputer 81, and if received, a special game effect selection process is executed. Also, it is determined whether or not an ending command is received from the game control microcomputer 81, and if received, an ending effect selection process is executed. Further, it is determined whether or not the V passage command is received from the game control microcomputer 81, and if it is received, the V passage notification effect start processing is executed.

In addition, the effect control microcomputer 91, following the received command analysis process (S4301), performs a switch state acquisition process of storing the switch data created in the 1 ms timer interrupt process in the RAM 94 as switch data for the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4302 ). Next, switch processing for setting the display contents of the display screen 7a based on the switch data stored in the switch state acquisition processing is performed (S4303).

Thereafter, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs lamp processing (S4304). In the lamp processing (S4304), lamp data (data for controlling the lighting of the frame lamp 66 and the board lamp 5) is created and the time management of the lighting effect is performed. Subsequently, voice control processing (S4305) is performed. In the audio control process (S4305), audio data (data for controlling the output of audio from the speaker 67) is created, output to the audio control board 106, time management of audio effects, and the like are performed. As a result, the speaker 67 outputs a sound that matches the performance to be executed. Then, other processes such as updating various random numbers for determination of effects are executed (S4306), and this process ends.

7. Flow of game in this embodiment Next, the flow of progress of a game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 35, first, in the normal game state, the game progresses by hitting left. This aims at winning a big hit based on the lottery of the special figure 1. - 特許庁In addition, although the probability of winning is low, if you win "10R short time small win B" (see FIG. 6) by lottery of special figure 1, you can get 2 types of jackpot games based on V passage.

When a jackpot is won in the lottery of special figure 1, if the jackpot is ``10R normal jackpot'' (see FIG. 6), the game state after the jackpot game is finished is controlled to the normal game state. On the other hand, if "3R time-saving jackpot" (see FIG. 6), the game state after the jackpot game ends is controlled to the time-saving state. This distribution rate is 50% for each. In this specification, a jackpot that is won without passing through V may be referred to as a direct hit jackpot. When the winning jackpot is ``10R normal jackpot'', the game proceeds again in the normal game state aiming at winning the jackpot based on the lottery of the special figure 1.例文帳に追加

On the other hand, when it is "3R time-saving jackpot", it is controlled to a time-saving state and a high base state. In this short time state and high base state, the player proceeds with the game by hitting to the right. This aims at winning a big hit based on the lottery of the special figure 2. - 特許庁There is no loss in the lottery of special figure 2 (see FIG. 8 (A)), and except for the case where it becomes a big hit, it will be a small hit. Moreover, the small win won in the lottery of the special figure 2 passes through the opening pattern in the small winning game (open pattern that can pass through the specific area 39 regardless of the winning timing to the second big winning port 35). It is a small hit ("10R short time small hit C", "10R normal small hit" (see FIG. 6), see FIGS. 34(b) and (c)). Therefore, as long as the player is playing the game correctly (that is, as long as the player continues hitting to the right), if the lottery of the special figure 2 is executed, the jackpot game will be executed without fail. In addition, the jackpot (direct hit jackpot) to be won in the lottery of special figure 2 is always "10R short time jackpot" (see FIG. 6).

Also, in this time-saving state, the second special symbol reservation can be stored up to the upper limit memory number during the variable display of the second special symbol. The upper limit storage number of the second special figure reservation of this form is "1". In other words, it is possible to accumulate one second special figure reservation during the variable display of special figure 2. This one second special figure reservation will be digested in the subsequent game through the jackpot game.

When a small hit is won in the lottery of special figure 2 in a time saving state, if the small hit is "10R normal small hit" (see FIG. 6), the game state after the end of the 2 types of jackpot games based on V passage is controlled to a normal game state (disadvantageous game state). On the other hand, if it is "10R time-saving small hit C" (see FIG. 6), the game state after the end of the two-kind jackpot game based on V passage is controlled to a time-saving state (advantageous game state). This distribution rate is 50% for each. When winning the time saving win ("10 hour saving small win C" or "10R time saving big win"), it is controlled to the working time saving state again, so that one second special reserve can be additionally accumulated. Therefore, the big winning game can be executed again based on the second special figure reservation accumulated in the previous time saving state, and the big winning game can be executed based on the second special figure reservation generated in the current time saving state. can be made That is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, once a jackpot game is executed based on the time-saving pattern (symbol to be controlled to the time-saving state), a game that can be expected to execute two jackpot games after that It is a machine. In other words, when it is controlled to the time saving state, it becomes a so-called double loop gaming machine.

On the other hand, when the small hit won in the lottery of the special figure 2 is "10R normal small hit", it is controlled to the normal game state (unfavorable game state). In this case, the second special figure reservation cannot be additionally accumulated. However, there remains one second special figure reservation that was saved in the previous time saving state. Therefore, a big hit game can be executed again based on this second special figure reservation. In other words, this situation is a situation (situation advantageous to the player) in which it is still easy to execute a jackpot game due to the remaining second special figure reservation although it is in the normal game state. As a result of the lottery based on the second special figure reservation in the normal game state, if winning the time-saving win, the game is controlled to the time-saving state after the end of the big win game. Therefore, by accumulating the second special figure reservation, it becomes possible to obtain the opportunity of the lottery of the special figure 2 again, and two big hits will be confirmed thereafter.

On the other hand, as a result of the lottery based on the second special figure hold in the normal game state, if the "10R normal small hit" is won, there is no second special figure hold anymore, and the electric sapo control is Since it has not been executed, it is not possible to newly generate the second special figure reservation. Therefore, the situation that is advantageous to the player in terms of the ease of executing the jackpot game has ended.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 34, when the jackpot game based on the "10R normal small hit" is executed in a state where the second special figure reservation is not accumulated in the time saving state, after that, the normal game without the second special figure reservation It becomes a game state. Therefore, in this case, since the jackpot game cannot be executed based on the second special figure reservation, the situation advantageous to the player has ended.

As described above, according to the game characteristics of this pachinko game machine 1, when it is controlled to the time-saving state, as long as the game is played normally (as long as it is hit to the right), a chance to win a small hit in the lottery of special figure 2 is twice. When the 10R normal small win is drawn in both of the two chances, the state advantageous to the player (the state in which the lottery of the special figure 2 is executed) ends. In other words, if the 10R time saving small hit C is pulled even once out of the two chances, it is controlled to the time saving state after the two types of jackpot games. Therefore, in this case, the chance of winning a small prize in the lottery of the special figure 2 is obtained twice. In this way, in the two special drawing 2 lotteries that are executed after being controlled to the time saving state, each with a probability of about 50%, 10R time saving small per C (advantageous) or 10R normal small per (disadvantage) ) is an important game feature.

8. Features of production in this form Next, as a feature of production in this form, the variable production based on the special figure 2 lottery (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2 fluctuation production") will be described based on FIGS. 36 to 54. . In this form, in special figure 2 fluctuation production, the production design which is shown in Figure 36 is shown. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 36, a production pattern 8a showing a silver "1", a production pattern 8b showing a silver "2", a production pattern 8c showing a gold "3", and a silver "4" are shown. production pattern 8d showing silver "5", production pattern 8e showing silver "6", production pattern 8f showing silver "6", production pattern 8g showing gold "7", production pattern 8h showing silver "8", silver A total of 10 types of performance symbols, ie, a performance symbol 8i indicating "9" of the character and a red performance symbol 8j indicating an awakened main character are displayed in the special figure 2 variable performance. In the following description, the effect pattern 8j showing the awakened red main character will be referred to as "awakened character pattern 8j".

In this form, as described above, in the lottery of special figure 2, it is an important game property to draw which of the 10R short time small per C or the 10R normal small per. Therefore, the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i as the left production pattern 8L, the middle production pattern 8C, and the right production pattern 8R are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes). For example, it is notified that the 10R normal small hit (see FIG. 6) has been won in the special drawing 2 lottery. On the other hand, as the left production pattern 8L, the middle production pattern 8C, and the right production pattern 8R, if the gold production patterns 8c and 8g are definitely stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode (double eyes), the lottery of the special figure 2 will be held at 10R. The winning of the short and small win C (see FIG. 6) is notified. Therefore, from the player's point of view, in the special figure 2 variable effect, which of the silver effect patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i or the golden effect patterns 8c and 8g is displayed. becoming important.

In addition, despite winning the 10R normal small hit in the special figure 2 lottery, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, the golden production patterns 8c and 8g are definitely stopped and displayed in a big hit mode (double eyes). never In addition, despite winning the 10R time-saving small hit C in the special 2 lottery, silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are definite in the special 2 fluctuation production. It never appears to stop.

In this form, in the lottery of special figure 2, when a small win (10R short time small win C, 10R normal small win) is won, the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are definitely stopped in a big win mode (double eyes). The reason for displaying is as follows. In other words, in the special drawing 2 lottery, even if you win either the 10R time-saving small hit C or the 10R normal small hit, as long as you are playing normally (as long as you are hitting the right), there are two types of V prizes. You can win big prizes. In other words, winning a small win in the lottery of special figure 2 is substantially the same as winning a big win. Therefore, in this form, when a small win is won in the lottery of the special figure 2, the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R are definitely stopped and displayed in a big win mode (double eyes) as in the case of winning a big win. ing.

As a modification, in the special figure 2 lottery, if you win a small hit (10R short time small hit C, 10R normal small hit), the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R It may be determined to stop and display in a pattern mode using a special number mode or a dedicated pattern, winning mode). Then, when the 10R time-saving small prize C is won, the gold performance patterns 8c and 8g are definitely stopped and displayed in the small prize mode, and when the 10R normal prize is won, the silver performance patterns 8a and 8g are displayed. 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i may be stopped and displayed in a small winning mode.

Here, the stop display of the production patterns 8L, 8C and 8R is divided into two cases: a case where the production patterns 8L, 8C and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed, and a case where the production patterns 8L, 8C and 8R are definitely stopped and displayed. There are types. The case where the performance symbols are temporarily stopped means that the performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R are stopped and displayed in a slightly swaying state and are not completely stopped and displayed. When the performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed, the special symbols are variably displayed and not stopped. On the other hand, when the performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R are definitely stopped and displayed means that the left performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R are completely stopped and displayed for several hundred milliseconds or more. When the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are definitely stopped and displayed, the special symbols are not variably displayed and are stopped and displayed.

It should be noted that the notation of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R indicates which design display area the performance symbols are shown. Therefore, for example, the notation 8L of the production pattern only means the production pattern shown in the left pattern display area, and does not indicate which pattern mode the production pattern is. The notation of the production patterns 8a to 8j shown in FIG. 36 indicates which pattern mode the production pattern is. Therefore, for example, the notation of the production pattern 8c means that it is a production pattern in a pattern mode showing a gold "3", and does not indicate which design display area the production pattern is shown. . Here, in this embodiment, as a notation indicating both the design display area of the production design and the design mode of the production design, one of "L, C, R" is attached behind "8", and "a ~ j” is attached. Therefore, for example, the effect symbol 8Lc is shown in the left symbol display area and is a symbol mode effect symbol showing a gold "3".

In this form, in the lottery of special figure 2, there is no loss (see FIG. 8 (A)), and except for the case of winning a big hit, a small win is always won. And as described above, winning a small win in the lottery of the special figure 2 means that a 2nd big win is substantially won (a 2nd big win game is executed). Therefore, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i jackpot mode, or the golden production patterns 8c, 8g jackpot In any one of the modes, stop display is definitely performed. When the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i are definitely stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode (double eyes), the player grasps the winning of the 10R normal small win, be discouraged. On the other hand, when the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in the big win mode (double eyes), the player grasps the winning of the 10R time-saving small win C and is pleased.

In addition, in the special drawing 2 lottery, you may win a jackpot (10R short-time jackpot). In this case, after the jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R short-time jackpot, it will be in a short-time state, so winning the 10R short-time jackpot in the lottery of special figure 2 will win the 10R short-time small win C in the lottery of special figure 2. It can be said that it is almost the same as Therefore, when a big hit is won in the lottery of the special figure 2, the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are definitely stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode of the golden production patterns 8c, 8g in the special figure 2 fluctuation production. ing. Thus, in the special figure 2 variable production, the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are not definitely stopped and displayed in the losing mode (including the reach losing mode), and the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f , 8h and 8i, or the golden performance patterns 8c and 8g, the stop display is definitely made.

Here, in the special-figure 2 variable performance, before the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode, the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g are always in the ready-to-win mode. In other words, if the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g are displayed in the ready-to-win mode, there is a possibility that the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode, and winning the 10R normal small win is impossible. will not be notified. Therefore, when the golden performance patterns 8c and 8g are displayed in the ready-to-win state, the player will be aware of winning the 10R short time small win C rather than winning the 10R normal small win, and will have a chance. I feel. Hereinafter, the display of the golden effect symbols 8c and 8g in the ready-to-win mode is referred to as "gold symbol ready-to-win display". Then, among the special figure 2 fluctuation effects, the effect after the golden effect patterns 8c and 8g are displayed in the ready-to-win state is called "gold pattern ready-to-win effect". Therefore, it can be said that the gold symbol ready-to-win display or the gold symbol ready-to-win effect makes the player aware of winning the 10R short time small win C rather than winning the 10R normal small win. In this way, the gold pattern ready-to-reach effect corresponds to the "advantageous reach effect", and the ready-to-reach mode of the golden effect patterns 8c and 8g corresponds to the "advantageous ready-to-reach mode".

On the other hand, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, before the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are definitely stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode, the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are always in the reach mode. In other words, if the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are displayed in the ready-to-win mode, the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are in the jackpot mode. There is a possibility that the stop display will definitely stop at , and the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C will not be notified. Therefore, for the player, when the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are displayed in the ready-to-win mode, the 10R normal small win is more likely than the 10R time-saving small win C. You will be conscious of the election of the winner, and you will feel a pinch. Hereinafter, the display of the silver effect symbols 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i in the ready-to-win mode is referred to as "silver symbol ready-to-win display". Then, among the special figure 2 fluctuation effects, the effect after being displayed with the silver effect patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i will be called "silver design reach effect". Therefore, it can be said that the silver symbol ready-to-win display or the silver symbol ready-to-win effect makes the player aware of winning the 10R normal small win rather than winning the 10R short time small win C. Thus, the silver pattern ready-to-reach effect corresponds to the "disadvantageous ready-to-reach effect", and the ready-to-reach mode of the silver effect patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i corresponds to the "unfavorable ready-to-reach mode".

Next, in special figure 2 fluctuation production, outline when gold design ready-to-win production is executed will be described based on FIG. As shown in FIG. 37, when the gold symbol ready-to-win effect is executed, the gold symbol ready-to-win display is first performed on the display screen 7a. Thereafter, the process branches into a case where the first enemy character battle effect is executed and a case where the second enemy character battle effect is executed. The first enemy character battle effect and the second enemy character battle effect will be described in detail later. When the first enemy character battle effect is executed, a battle defeat in which the main character is defeated by the first enemy character is indicated, a battle victory in which the main character defeats the first enemy character is indicated, branch to When the first enemy character battle performance indicates a battle defeat, a ready-to-lose provisional display is performed in which the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-lose mode. On the other hand, when a battle victory is indicated in the first enemy character battle presentation, gold symbol hit determination display is performed in which the gold performance symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode (single number).

On the other hand, when the second enemy character battle effect is executed, a battle defeat in which the main character is defeated by the second enemy character is shown, and a battle victory in which the main character defeats the second enemy character is shown. If indicated, branch to. When the second enemy character battle performance indicates a battle defeat, a ready-to-lose provisional display is performed in which the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-lose mode. On the other hand, when a battle victory is indicated in the second enemy character battle effect, a gold symbol hit determination display is performed in which the gold effect symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode (single number).

Next, the details of the execution of the first enemy character battle effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. FIG. When the first enemy character battle effect is to be executed, the gold symbol ready-to-win display is first performed on the display screen 7a. For example, as shown in FIG. 38(A), as the gold symbol ready-to-win display, the effect symbols 8Lc, 8C, and 8Rc are in the ready-to-win state indicating "3↓3". In this way, the player who sees the gold symbol ready-to-win display grasps the situation that there is a high possibility of winning the 10R time-saving small win C, and feels that it is a chance.

Here, in the special figure 2 variation performance, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, and 6R are synchronously displayed with the variation display and the stop display of the second special symbol at the upper left part of the display screen 7a, and are displayed in a variable display and a stop display. It's like The small effect patterns 6L, 6C and 6R are composed of a left small effect pattern 6L arranged on the left side, a medium and small effect pattern 6C arranged in the left and right center, and a right small effect pattern 6R arranged on the right side. Therefore, it is smaller than the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R and is less conspicuous. Thus, by seeing the variable display of the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R, it is possible to grasp that the second special symbol is being variably displayed. 2 It is possible to grasp that the special symbol has been stopped and displayed.

In the first enemy character battle effect, following FIG. 38(A), as shown in FIG. 38(B), a first enemy character appearance image T1 indicating that the first enemy character has appeared is displayed on the display screen 7a. is displayed. Also, a first enemy character defeated image TI1 showing the characters (title) "Destroy the first enemy character!" is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 7a. In this way, by displaying the first enemy character appearance image T1 and the first enemy character defeated image TI1, the player understands that the first enemy character battle effect will start after the gold pattern ready-to-win display. Further, as shown in FIG. 38(A), when the first enemy character battle effect is started, a left effect symbol 8Lc indicating a golden "3" is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen 7a, and the A right effect symbol 8Rc indicating a gold "3" is displayed in the upper right part of the screen 7a, so that the player can understand that the gold symbol ready-to-win effect is being executed. In the first enemy character battle presentation, a battle image in which the main character and the first enemy character fight is displayed on the display screen 7a.

In the case of a battle defeat in which the main character is defeated by the first enemy character, a battle loss image LO indicating that the main character has been defeated is displayed on the display screen 7a, as shown in FIG. Is displayed. By displaying the battle loss image LO, it is possible for the player to understand that the performance result is disadvantageous. In other words, it is possible for the player to grasp that the 10R time-saving small winning C was not won. Then, after the battle is defeated as shown in FIG. 38(C-1), a ready-to-win provisional display is made as shown in FIG. 38(D-1). That is, as shown in FIG. 38(D-1), a temporary stop display is performed in a ready-to-win failure mode in which the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc indicate "343". In addition, the reach-losing mode means that the left production pattern 8L and the right production pattern 8R are production patterns showing the same number, but the middle production pattern 8C shows different numbers from the left production pattern 8L and the right production pattern 8R. It is the state of being.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 38(D-1), after the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc are temporarily stopped and displayed in the ready-to-win mode, it seems that the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc are definitely stopped and displayed. . However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 39(A), the effect symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc are still temporarily stopped and displayed in the ready-to-lose mode, and are not definitely stopped and displayed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 38(D-1) and 39(A), the small effect symbols 6L, 6C, and 6R continue to be variably displayed. In this way, the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cd and 8Rc are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R newly start variable display as shown in FIG. 39(B). That is, the re-variation display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed.

On the other hand, in the first enemy character battle effect, if the main character wins the battle against the first enemy character, as shown in FIG. A battle victory image WI indicating that is displayed. By displaying the battle victory image WI, it is possible for the player to grasp that the result of the effect is advantageous to the player. In other words, it is possible for the player to grasp that the 10R time-saving small winning C has been won. Then, after winning the battle shown in FIG. 38 (C-2), as shown in FIG. 38 (D-2), as the gold symbol win confirmation display, the production symbols 8Lc, 8Cc, and 8Rc show "333". The stop display is determined by pressing . Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the big hit mode showing "333", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. After that, a jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C is started, and after the jackpot game, the game is controlled to the time-saving state.

Next, the details of the execution of the second enemy character battle effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 39 and 40. FIG. When the second enemy character battle effect is executed, the gold symbol ready-to-win display is first performed on the display screen 7a. For example, as shown in FIG. 40(A), as a gold symbol ready-to-win display, production symbols 8Lg, 8C, and 8Rg are in a ready-to-win mode indicating "7↓7". In this way, the player who sees the gold symbol ready-to-win display grasps the situation in which there is a high possibility of winning the 10R time-saving small win C, and feels that it is a chance. In addition, when the second enemy character battle effect is executed, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is not performed.

In the second enemy character battle production, as shown in FIG. 40(B) following FIG. 40(A), a second enemy character appearance image T2 indicating that the second enemy character has appeared is displayed on the display screen 7a. is displayed. Also, a second enemy character defeated image TI2 showing the characters (title) "Destroy the second enemy character!" is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 7a. Thus, the display of the second enemy character appearance image T2 and the second enemy character defeated image TI2 allows the player to understand that the second enemy character battle effect will start after the gold pattern ready-to-win display. Further, as shown in FIG. 40(A), when the second enemy character battle effect is started, a left effect symbol 8Lc showing a gold "7" is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen 7a, and the A right effect symbol 8Rc showing a gold "7" is displayed in the upper right part of the screen 7a. In the second enemy character battle presentation, a battle image in which the main character and the second enemy character fight is displayed on the display screen 7a.

Then, in the case of a battle defeat in which the main character is defeated by the second enemy character, as shown in FIG. Is displayed. By displaying the battle loss image LO, it is possible for the player to understand that the performance result is disadvantageous. In other words, it is possible for the player to grasp that the 10R time-saving small winning C was not won. Then, after the battle is defeated as shown in FIG. 40(C-1), the ready-to-win provisional display is made as shown in FIG. 40(D-1). That is, as shown in FIG. 40(D-1), the temporary stop display is performed in a ready-to-miss state in which the performance symbols 8Lg, 8Cf, and 8Rg indicate "767".

After that, similarly to when the ready-to-win provisional display is made in the first enemy character battle effect, as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 41(A), the small effect symbols 6L, 6C, and 6R continue to be variably displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 41(B), the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R newly start the variable display. That is, the re-variation display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed.

On the other hand, in the second enemy character battle effect, if the main character wins the battle against the second enemy character, as shown in FIG. A battle victory image WI indicating that is displayed. By displaying the battle victory image WI, it is possible for the player to understand that the 10R time-saving small win C was won. Then, after winning the battle shown in FIG. 40 (C-2), as shown in FIG. 40 (D-2), as a gold symbol win confirmation display, the production symbols 8Lg, 8Cg, and 8Rg show "777". The stop display is determined by pressing . Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode showing "777", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. After that, a jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C is started, and after the jackpot game, the game is controlled to the time-saving state.

As described above, in the gold symbol ready-to-win effect, either the first enemy character battle effect or the second enemy character battle effect is executed. Then, regardless of which one is executed, the re-variation display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed after the ready-to-lose provisional display, or the positive winning gold symbol display is performed. In other words, in the gold symbol ready-to-win effect, the winning of the 10R normal small win is not reported. Therefore, in the gold pattern ready-to-win effect, it is possible to make the player expect to win the 10R short-time small win C while giving the player a sense of security that the win for the 10R normal small win will not be shown. be.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 55(B), each effect expectation degree is set when the gold symbol ready-to-win effect is executed. In other words, in the first enemy character battle effect, the degree of expectation for a battle defeat (temporary display of reach loss) is 50%, and in the first enemy character battle effect, a battle victory (confirmed display with a gold symbol) is expected. degree is set to 50%. Therefore, from the player's point of view, when the first enemy character battle effect is executed, the winning expectation for the 10R time-saving small win C is 50%. On the other hand, in the second enemy character battle effect, the degree of expectation for a battle defeat (temporary display of reach-loss) is 25%. degree is set to 75%. Therefore, from the player's point of view, when the second enemy character battle effect is executed, the winning expectation for the 10R time-saving small win C is 75%.

In this way, when the second enemy character battle production is executed, the expectation of winning the 10R short time small hit C is higher than when the first enemy character battle production is executed. Allocation is set. In other words, if you win the 10R time-saving small hit C in the special 2 lottery, the second enemy character battle production is easier to execute than the first enemy character battle production, while the 10R normal small in the special 2 lottery. It is set so that when the game is won by winning, the first enemy character battle presentation is more likely to be executed than the second enemy character battle presentation. As a result, the second enemy character battle effect has a higher expectation of winning the 10R time-saving small win C than the first enemy character battle effect. Therefore, when the player sees the gold symbol ready-to-win display, it is possible to make the player expect the second enemy character battle effect to be executed rather than the first enemy character battle effect. In other words, the player who sees the gold pattern reach display is given a sense of security that the 10R normal small hit will not be won, and then which gold pattern reach production (first enemy character battle production, second enemy character battle production). It is possible to provide an interest that draws attention to whether is executed.

Next, in special figure 2 fluctuation production, the outline when silver design ready-to-win production is executed will be described based on FIG. As shown in FIG. 42, when the silver symbol ready-to-win effect is executed, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is first performed on the display screen 7a. After that, it branches to the case where the symbol destruction effect is executed and the case where the mini character effect is executed. The symbol destruction effect and the mini character effect will be described in detail later.

When the symbol destruction effect is executed, the remaining silver symbol display in which any one of the silver effect symbols 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i remains and is displayed is executed, and the gold symbol is displayed. It branches to the case where the remaining gold pattern display is executed with any of the production patterns 8c and 8g remaining and the case where the remaining awakened character pattern display with the awakened character pattern 8j remaining is executed. .

When the remaining silver pattern display is executed in the symbol destruction effect, after that, the silver effect patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i are temporarily stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes). display is made. Subsequently, a promotion suggesting effect is executed to incite whether or not to promote to the golden performance patterns 8c and 8g in the jackpot mode (double eyes). Then, after the promotion suggesting production, the silver pattern hit confirmation display in which the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i are definitely stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes), or the golden production Either of the silver symbol win confirmation display is executed, in which the symbols 8 and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode (double eyes).

In addition, when the remaining gold symbol display is executed in the symbol destruction effect, after that, a ready-to-lose temporary display is performed in which the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-lose mode.

Further, when the remaining awakened character symbol display is executed in the symbol destruction effect, the awakening development effect accompanied by the gold symbol ready-to-win display is executed thereafter. The awakening development effect will be detailed later. In the awakening development production, there are a case where a battle defeat in which the awakened main character is defeated by a special enemy character is shown, and a case where a battle victory in which the awakened main character defeats a special enemy character is shown. When a battle defeat is shown in the awakening development production, a ready-to-lose provisional display is performed in which production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-lose mode. On the other hand, when a battle victory is indicated in the awakening development effect, a gold symbol hit determination display is performed in which the gold performance symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes).

On the other hand, in the silver pattern ready-to-win production, when a mini character production is executed, a failure production showing that the mission by the mini character will fail is executed, and a success production showing that the mission by the mini character is successful. is executed, and a case where an awakening card appearance effect indicating that the card of the awakened main character has appeared is executed.

When a failure effect is executed in the mini-character effect, after that, a silver pattern win temporary display is performed in which the silver effect patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i are temporarily stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes). be. Subsequently, a promotion suggesting effect is executed to incite whether or not to promote to the golden performance patterns 8c and 8g in the jackpot mode (double eyes). Then, after the promotion suggesting production, the silver pattern hit confirmation display in which the silver production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i are definitely stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes), or the golden production Either of the silver symbol win confirmation display is executed, in which the symbols 8 and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode (double eyes).

Further, when the success effect is executed in the mini-character effect, after that, the ready-to-lose provisional display in which the effect patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed in the ready-to-lose mode is performed.

In addition, when the awakening card appearance effect is executed in the mini character effect, the awakening development effect accompanied by the gold symbol ready-to-win display is executed thereafter. The awakening development effect that develops from the mini character effect and is executed is the same as the awakening development effect that develops from the pattern destruction effect and is executed, as described above, and is a battle in which the awakened main character is defeated by a special enemy character. A case where defeat is shown and a case where battle victory is shown in which the awakened main character defeats a special enemy character is branched. When a battle defeat is shown in the awakening development production, a ready-to-lose provisional display is performed in which production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-lose mode. On the other hand, when a battle victory is indicated in the awakening development effect, a gold symbol hit determination display is performed in which the gold performance symbols 8c and 8g are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode (double eyes).

Next, the details when the symbol destruction effect is executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 to 46. FIG. When the symbol destruction effect (first unfavorable ready-to-win effect) is executed, the silver symbol ready-to-win is first displayed on the display screen 7a. For example, as shown in FIG. 43(A), as the silver symbol ready-to-win display, the effect symbols 8Ld, 8C, and 8Rd are in the ready-to-win state indicating "4↓4". In this way, the player who sees the silver symbol ready-to-win display grasps the situation in which there is a high possibility of winning the 10R normal small win, and feels a pinch.

In the symbol destruction effect, following FIG. 43(A), as shown in FIG. 43(B), on the display screen 7a, a number ("3 ”), a production pattern 8Cd showing the same number (“4”) as the production pattern (production pattern 8d) shown in the reach mode, and an awakening character pattern 8Rj. shown. Also, at this time, a destruction suggestion image MA indicating "Destroy with a sword!" is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 7a. In this way, in the symbol destruction effect, attention is paid to which of the three displayed effect symbols will be destroyed. During execution of the symbol destruction effect, the left effect symbol 8Ld indicating "4" is stopped and displayed in the upper left part of the display screen 7a, and the right effect symbol indicating "4" is displayed in the upper right part of the display screen 7a. The effect symbol 8Rd is stopped and displayed, and the ready-to-win mode (silver symbol ready-to-win display) by the silver effect symbol can be grasped.

Following FIG. 43(B), as shown in FIG. 43(C-1), when the remaining silver symbol display is executed, a number (“3”) different from the effect symbol shown in the ready-to-win mode is displayed. The production pattern 8Lc changes to a cut production pattern 8Lcx, and the production pattern 8Cd showing the same number ("4") as the production pattern shown in the reach mode continues to be displayed as it is, and the awakened character pattern. 8Rj changes to a cut awakening character pattern 8Rjx. This allows the player to understand that the effect symbol 8Ld indicating silver "4" remains and is displayed.

Then, through the remaining silver symbol display shown in FIG. 43 (C-1), as shown in FIG. 44 (A), as a temporary display of the silver symbol, the production symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rcd show "444". Temporary stop display with (double). At this time, the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R continue to be variably displayed on the upper left portion of the display screen 7a. The provisional display of the winning silver symbols suggests that the 10R normal small win has been won, and the player is disappointed. However, after the winning silver symbol temporary display shown in FIG. 44(A), the promotion suggestion effect shown in FIG. 44(B) is always executed.

As shown in FIG. 44(B), in the promotion suggestion effect, the silver effect symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rcd are temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode indicating "444" at the bottom of the display screen 7a. , a button image BA modeled after the production button 63 is displayed, and a button operation character image PU showing characters "Press the button to go to the gold pattern!" is displayed. The display of the button image BA and the button operation character image PU prompts the player to operate the effect button 63 . Then, it is expected that the jackpot mode of the silver performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rd will change (promote) to the jackpot mode of the gold performance symbols 8c and 8g.

In the promotion suggestion effect shown in FIG. 44(B), when the player operates the effect button 63, or when the effective period of operation to the effect button 63 elapses, the winning silver symbol confirmation display shown in FIG. 44(C-1) is displayed. It branches to the case where it is made and the case where the winning gold symbol confirmation display shown in FIG. 44 (C-2) is made.

As shown in FIG. 44 (C-1), in the silver symbol hit confirmation display, the silver performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rd shown in the promotion suggestion performance are in the same display mode "444" jackpot mode. , deterministically stop display. Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode indicating "444", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. Furthermore, in the upper portion of the display screen 7a, an promotion failure image FA is displayed indicating that promotion to the jackpot mode of the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g was not possible. In this way, the player is greatly disappointed when he grasps that he has won the 10R normal small prize by the confirmation display of the silver symbol win. After that, the jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R normal small hit is started, and after the jackpot game, it is controlled to the non-time-saving state (normal game state).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 44 (C-2), in the gold symbol win confirmation display, the silver effect symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rd shown in the promotion suggestion effect are the jackpot mode ("444"). , is promoted to a jackpot mode (“333”) of golden production patterns 8Lc, 8Cc, and 8Rc. Then, the promoted golden performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cc and 8Rc are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode. Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the big hit mode showing "333", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. Furthermore, in the upper part of the display screen 7a, a promotion success image SU is displayed, which indicates that promotion to the jackpot mode of the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g has been achieved. In this way, the player grasps that he or she has won the 10R time-saving small winning C by the confirmation display of the gold symbol, and feels a great sense of exhilaration due to the revival. After that, a jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C is started, and after the jackpot game, the game is controlled to the time-saving state. It should be noted that the effect from the promotion suggesting effect shown in FIG. 44(B) to the gold symbol win confirmation display shown in FIG. 44(C-2) corresponds to the "promotion effect".

On the other hand, following FIG. 43(B), as shown in FIG. 43(C-2), when the remaining gold symbol display is executed, a number (“3”) different from the effect symbol shown in the ready-to-win mode is displayed. continues to be displayed, and the production pattern 8Cd showing the same number ("4") as the production pattern shown in the reach mode changes to a cut production pattern 8Cdx, awakening. The character pattern 8Rj changes to a cut and awakened character pattern 8Rjx. This allows the player to understand that the effect symbol 8Cc indicating the golden "3" remains and is displayed.

Then, through the remaining gold symbol display shown in FIG. 43 (C-2), as shown in FIG. Stop display. At this time, the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R continue to be variably displayed on the upper left portion of the display screen 7a. This reach-losing provisional display suggests that the 10R normal small win has not been won, so the player feels a sense of relief. In other words, the player is given a sense of security that he or she could avoid winning the 10R normal small prize. After that, as shown in FIG. 45(B), re-variation display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed without definitely stop-displaying the performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cc, and 8Rd in the reach-losing mode indicating "434". be done. Note that the effect from the remaining gold symbol display shown in FIG. 43(C-2) to the reach-losing provisional display shown in FIG. 45(A) corresponds to the "second negative effect".

On the other hand, following FIG. 43(B), as shown in FIG. 43(C-2), when the remaining awakened character symbol display is executed, the number ( ``3'') is changed to a torn cut production pattern 8Lcx, and the production pattern 8Cd showing the same number ("4") as the production pattern shown in the reach mode is torn. The cut effect pattern 8Cdx is changed, and the awakened character pattern 8Rj continues to be displayed as it is. This allows the player to understand that the awakening character pattern 8Rj remains and is displayed.

After the remaining awakened character pattern display shown in FIG. 43(C-3), the awakening development effect is executed as shown in FIG. 46(A). In the awakening development effect (advantageous development effect), a special battle image KH showing a battle between the awakened main character and a special enemy character is displayed on the display screen 7a. Here, when the awakening development effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 46(A), the left effect symbol 8Lc indicating a golden "3" is stopped and displayed in the upper left part of the display screen 7a. In both cases, at the upper right portion of the display screen 7a, the right effect symbol 8Rc indicating the golden "3" is stopped and displayed, and the golden effect symbols 8Lc and 8Rc are in the ready-to-win mode. In other words, as shown in FIG. 43 (C-3), before the awakening development effect was executed, the ready-to-win mode was the silver effect symbols 8Ld and 8Rd. As shown in 46(A), it has changed to the ready-to-win mode of golden production patterns 8Lc and 8Rc. In this way, by executing the awakening development performance, the player is made to grasp that the silver symbol ready-to-win performance has developed to the gold symbol ready-to-win performance, and from the pinch that can win the 10R normal small win, the 10R short time small win. It is possible to make C grasp that it has changed to a chance to win. The effect from the remaining awakened character symbol display shown in FIG. 43(C-3) to the awakening development effect shown in FIG. 46(A) corresponds to the "first negative effect".

Then, in the case of a battle defeat in which the awakened main character is defeated by a special enemy character, as shown in FIG. A defeat image LOx is displayed. By displaying the battle loss image LOx, it is possible for the player to understand that the performance result is disadvantageous. In other words, it is possible for the player to grasp that the 10R time-saving small winning C was not won. Then, after the battle is defeated as shown in FIG. 46(B-1), provisional display of reach loss is made as shown in FIG. 46(C-1). That is, as shown in FIG. 46(C-1), a temporary stop display is performed in a ready-to-win failure mode in which the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc indicate "343". After that, as shown in FIG. 39(A), the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc are temporarily stopped for a predetermined time (several hundreds of milliseconds) in a reach-losing mode indicating "343", and no definite stop display is performed. . Then, as shown in FIG. 39(B), the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are displayed again with the variation.

On the other hand, in the case of a battle victory in which the awakened main character wins against a special enemy character, as shown in FIG. A winning image WIx is displayed. By displaying the battle victory image WIx, it is possible for the player to grasp that the result of the effect is advantageous to the player. In other words, it is possible for the player to grasp that the 10R time-saving small winning C has been won. Then, after winning the battle shown in FIG. 46 (B-2), as shown in FIG. 46 (C-2), as a gold symbol win confirmation display, the production symbols 8Lc, 8Cc, and 8Rc show "333". The stop display is determined by pressing . Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the big hit mode showing "333", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. In this way, it is possible to give the player a great uplifting feeling of winning the 10R time-saving small win C through the silver symbol ready-to-win performance, which is a pinch, through the awakening development performance, which is a chance.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 55(A), each effect expectation degree is set when the symbol destruction effect is executed. That is, in the symbol destruction effect, the effect expectation level for executing the silver symbol winning provisional display is 70%, the effect expectation level for executing the ready-to-win-lose provisional display is 20%, and the effect expectation for executing the awakening development effect. is set to 10%. In other words, among the temporary display of winning silver symbols, the temporary display of reach-losing, and the awakening development effect, the temporary display of winning silver symbols is distributed so that the execution frequency is the highest, and the awakening development is achieved. The effects are distributed so that the execution frequency is the lowest. Therefore, when the symbol destruction effect is executed, most of the winning silver symbols are provisionally displayed (with a distribution rate of 70%), but rarely (with a distribution rate of 20%) a reach-losing provisional display is provided. Therefore, when the reach-losing provisional display is made, the player can feel relieved that winning the 10R normal small win can be avoided.

In addition, when the silver symbol hit provisional display is performed by the symbol destruction effect, the silver symbol hit confirmation display (promotion failure effect) is executed after that, and the performance expectation is 65%, while the gold symbol hit confirmation display. It is set so that the degree of expectation for the execution of (successful promotion) is 5%. In this way, from the player's point of view, after the execution of the silver symbol win provisional display in the symbol destruction performance, the gold symbol win confirmation display (promotion success performance) can be acquired very rarely through the promotion suggestion performance. In addition, when the awakening development effect is executed in the symbol destruction effect, the effect expectation that the battle defeat (temporary display per silver symbol) is executed is 5%, while the battle victory (definite display per gold symbol) is 5%. It is set so that the performance expectation degree to be executed is 5%. In this way, although the frequency of execution of the awakening development performance from the symbol destruction performance is low, if the awakening development performance is executed, it is possible to acquire the fixed display per gold symbol (10R short time small winning C) with half (50%) probability. become. In this way, from the player's point of view, if the symbol destruction effect is followed by the awakening development effect, the chance of obtaining the gold symbol win confirmation display is increased.

It should be noted that the performance pattern from the symbol destruction performance to the gold symbol confirmation display through the silver symbol winning temporary display is selected only when the 10R short time small winning C is won in the special figure 2 lottery. In addition, the production pattern from the pattern destruction production through the awakening development production to the gold pattern confirmation display is also selected only when the 10R short time small winning C is won in the special figure 2 lottery.

Next, the details of when the mini character effect is executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 47 to 50. FIG. When the mini character effect (second unfavorable ready-to-win effect) is executed, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is first performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 47(A), as the silver symbol ready-to-win display, the performance symbols 8Lf, 8C, and 8Rf are in the ready-to-win state indicating "6↓6". In this way, the player who sees the silver symbol ready-to-win display grasps the situation in which there is a high possibility of winning the 10R normal small win, and feels a pinch.

In the mini-character effect, as shown in FIG. 47(B), following FIG. 47(A), a mini-character image MK showing the state before the mini-character turns over the card is displayed on the display screen 7a. Also, at this time, a card suggestion image KO indicating "Draw a card larger than 6 (the number of the performance symbol shown in the ready-to-win mode)!" is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 7a. In this way, in the mini-character presentation, attention is paid to which card the mini-character shows. During the execution of the mini character effect, the left effect symbol 8Lf indicating "6" is stopped at the upper left part of the display screen 7a, and the right effect indicating "6" is displayed at the upper right part of the display screen 7a. The pattern 8Rf is stopped and displayed, and the ready-to-win state by the silver effect pattern can be grasped.

Following FIG. 47(B), as shown in FIG. 47(C-1), when the failure effect is executed, a mission failure image MKF showing that the mini-character has turned over the card indicating "6" is displayed. be done. This allows the player to understand that a card larger than "6" could not be drawn.

Then, through the failure effect shown in FIG. 47 (C-1), as shown in FIG. ) to display a temporary stop. At this time, the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R continue to be variably displayed on the upper left portion of the display screen 7a. The provisional display of the winning silver symbols suggests that the 10R normal small win has been won, and the player is disappointed. However, after the winning silver symbol temporary display shown in FIG. 48(A), the promotion suggestion effect shown in FIG. 48(B) is always executed.

As shown in FIG. 48(B), the promotion suggesting effect executed after the mini character effect is the same as the promotion suggesting effect executed after the symbol destruction effect described above (see FIG. 44). In other words, as shown in FIG. 48(B), at the bottom of the display screen 7a, while the silver production patterns 8Lf, 8Cf, and 8Rcf are temporarily stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode indicating "666", Then, a button image BA imitating the effect button 63 is displayed, and a button operation character image PU showing characters "Press the button to go to the gold pattern!" is displayed. Then, when the player operates the effect button 63, or when the effective period of operation of the effect button 63 elapses, the silver symbol win confirmation display shown in FIG. 2) When the winning gold symbol is confirmed and displayed, the process branches.

As shown in FIG. 48 (C-1), in the silver symbol hit confirmation display, the silver performance symbols 8Lf, 8Cf, and 8Rf shown in the promotion suggestion performance are in the same display mode "666" jackpot mode. , to stop display deterministically. Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode indicating "666", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed at the upper left part of the display screen 7a. Furthermore, in the upper portion of the display screen 7a, an promotion failure image FA is displayed indicating that promotion to the jackpot mode of the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g was not possible. In this way, the player is greatly disappointed when he grasps that he has won the 10R normal small prize by the confirmation display of the silver symbol win. After that, the jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R normal small hit is started, and after the jackpot game, it is controlled to the non-time-saving state (normal game state).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 48 (C-2), in the gold symbol hit confirmation display, the silver effect symbols 8Lf, 8Cf, and 8Rf shown in the promotion suggestion effect are the jackpot mode ("666"). , Promoted to the jackpot mode ("777") of golden production patterns 8Lg, 8Cg, 8Rg. Then, the promoted gold performance symbols 8Lg, 8Cg, and 8Rg are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot manner. Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode showing "777", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. Furthermore, in the upper part of the display screen 7a, a promotion success image SU is displayed, which indicates that promotion to the jackpot mode of the golden performance symbols 8c and 8g has been achieved. In this way, the player grasps that he or she has won the 10R time-saving small winning C by the confirmation display of the gold symbol, and feels a great sense of exhilaration due to the revival. After that, a jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C is started, and after the jackpot game, the game is controlled to the time-saving state. It should be noted that the effect from the promotion suggesting effect shown in FIG. 48(B) to the gold symbol win confirmation display shown in FIG. 48(C-2) corresponds to the "promotion effect".

On the other hand, following FIG. 47(B), as shown in FIG. 47(C-2), when the success effect is executed, a mission success image MKS showing that the mini character has turned over the card indicating "7". is displayed. This allows the player to understand that a card larger than "6" has been drawn.

Then, through the failure effect shown in FIG. 47(C-2), as shown in FIG. 49(A), temporary stop display in a reach-losing mode in which production patterns 8Lf, 8Cg, and 8Rf indicate "676" as a temporary display of reach-losing. do. This reach-losing provisional display suggests that the 10R normal small win has not been won, so the player feels a sense of relief. After that, as shown in FIG. 49(B), re-variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is executed without stop display definitely in the reach-losing mode in which the performance symbols 8Lf, 8Cg, 8Rf indicate "676". be done.

On the other hand, following FIG. 47(B), as shown in FIG. 47(C-2), when the awakening card appearance effect is executed, the mini character turns over the card indicating the "awakened main character". An awakening card appearance image MKK indicating that the event has occurred is displayed. This allows the player to understand that the performance different from the failure performance and the success performance is executed.

After the awakening card appearance effect shown in FIG. 47(C-3), the awakening development effect is executed as shown in FIG. 50(A). The awakening development effect (advantageous development effect) executed through the mini character effect is the same as the awakening development effect (see FIG. 46) executed through the symbol destruction effect described above. That is, in FIG. 50(A), a special battle image KH is displayed on the display screen 7a, showing that the awakened main character fights a special enemy character. Also, in the awakening development effect executed after the mini character effect, the left effect symbol 8Lg indicating a gold "7" is stopped and displayed in the upper left part of the display screen 7a, and , the right performance symbol 8Rg showing a gold "7" is stopped and displayed, and the reach state of the gold performance symbols 8Lg and 8Rg is achieved. In this way, even when the awakening development performance is executed after the mini-character performance, the player is made aware of the fact that the pinch that can win the 10R normal small win has been switched to the chance that the 10R short-time small win C can be won. Is possible.

Then, in the case of battle defeat, as shown in FIG. 50(B-1), a battle defeat image LOx indicating that the awakened main character has been defeated is displayed on the display screen 7a. By displaying the battle loss image LOx, it is possible for the player to understand that the 10R time-saving small win C was not won. After that, as shown in FIG. 50(C-1), temporary stop display is performed in a ready-to-lose state in which production symbols 8Lg, 8Cf, and 8Rg indicate "767" as ready-to-lose temporary display. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 41(A), production patterns 8Lg, 8Cf, and 8Rg are temporarily stopped for a predetermined time (several hundred msec) in a reach-losing mode indicating "767", and then shown in FIG. 41(B). As shown, the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are to be displayed again.

On the other hand, in the case of battle victory, as shown in FIG. 50(B-2), a battle victory image WIx indicating that the awakened main character has won is displayed on the display screen 7a. By displaying the battle victory image WIx, it is possible for the player to understand that the 10R time-saving small win C was won. After that, as shown in FIG. 50(C-2), as the gold symbol win confirmation display, the performance symbols 8Lg, 8Cg, and 8Rg are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode indicating "777". Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stop-displayed in the jackpot mode showing "777", and the special figure 2 is stop-displayed on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. In this way, it is possible to give the player a great uplifting feeling of winning the 10R time-saving small win C through the silver symbol ready-to-win performance, which is a pinch, through the awakening development performance, which is a chance.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 55A, each effect expectation level is set when the mini character effect is executed. That is, in the mini character effect, the effect expectation level for executing the silver symbol win provisional display is 50%, the effect expectation level for the ready-to-win-lose provisional display is executed is 30%, and the effect expectation level for the awakening development effect is executed. is set to 20%. In other words, among the temporary display of winning silver symbols, the temporary display of reach-losing, and the awakening development effect, the temporary display of winning silver symbols is distributed so that the execution frequency is the highest, and the awakening development is achieved. The effects are distributed so that the execution frequency is the lowest. Therefore, when the mini character effect is executed, there is a half probability (with a distribution rate of 50%) that the winning silver symbol is temporarily displayed, but rarely (with a distribution rate of 30%), a provisional display of reach-losing is performed. . Therefore, when the ready-to-lose provisional display is made, the player can feel relieved by avoiding winning the 10R normal small win.

In addition, when the silver symbol is temporarily displayed in the mini character effect, the effect expectation level for executing the silver symbol winning confirmation display (promotion failure effect) is 40%, while the gold symbol winning confirmation display (promotion success). is set so that the degree of expectation for the effect to be executed is 10%. In this way, from the player's point of view, after the silver symbol win provisional display is executed in the mini character effect, the gold symbol win confirmation display (promotion success effect) can be acquired rarely through the promotion suggesting effect. In addition, when the awakening development effect is executed in the mini character effect, the effect expectation level for the execution of the battle defeat (provisional display for the silver symbol) is 5%, while the battle victory (definite display for the gold symbol) is executed. It is set so that the performance expectation degree to be performed is 15%. In this way, although the frequency of executing the awakening development production from the mini character production is low, if the awakening development production is executed, there is a very high probability (15% ÷ (5% + 15%) × 100 = 75%) that the gold symbol will be won. You will be able to get a fixed display (10R short time small per C). In this way, from the player's point of view, if the mini character presentation is followed by the awakening development presentation, the chances of obtaining the gold symbol hit confirmation display are greatly increased.

In addition, the effect pattern from the mini character effect to the temporary display of the silver symbol to the final display of the gold symbol is selected only when the 10R short time small winning C is won in the special figure 2 lottery. In addition, the production pattern from the mini character production to the awakening development production to the gold pattern confirmation display is also selected only when the 10R short time small winning C is won in the special figure 2 lottery.

Here, the pattern destruction effect and the mini character effect will be compared. As shown in FIG. 42, the symbol destruction effect and the mini character effect are common in that the silver symbol ready-to-win effect is executed after the silver symbol ready-to-win effect is displayed. In addition, it is also common in that it branches to the case where the silver symbol winning temporary display is made, the case where the reach loss temporary display is made, and the case where the awakening development production is executed. However, as shown in FIG. 55(A), the degree of expectation for the provisional display of ready-to-win failure in the pattern destruction effect is 20%, whereas the degree of expectation to the temporary display of ready-to-win failure in the mini-character effect is 30%. . Therefore, both the pattern destruction effect and the mini character effect are pinched in terms of winning the 10R normal jackpot, but the mini character effect is more likely to execute the provisional display of reach-losing than the pattern destruction effect, and the 10R normal jackpot. It is easy to avoid being elected to

In addition, as shown in FIG. 55(A), the expectation level of the effect that the silver symbol is temporarily displayed in the pattern destruction effect is 70%, whereas the effect expectation level that the silver symbol is temporarily displayed in the mini character effect is 70%. 50%. In other words, in the pattern destruction effect, the provisional display of the silver pattern suggests winning the 10R normal jackpot with a probability of 70%. Winning the 10R normal jackpot is suggested. Therefore, the mini-character effect is more preferable to the player than the symbol destruction effect because it is less likely that the winning of the 10R normal jackpot will be suggested.

In addition, in this form, after the silver symbol winning provisional display is made, the promotion suggesting effect is always executed. Here, as shown in FIG. 55(A), when the winning silver symbol is temporarily displayed in the symbol destruction effect, the probability of the gold symbol winning confirmation display from the subsequent promotion suggesting effect (probability of successful promotion) is Only about 7% (5%÷(65%+5%)×100). On the other hand, if the silver symbol is temporarily displayed in the mini character effect, the probability that the gold symbol will be displayed after the promotion suggestion effect is 20% (10% ÷ (40% + 10%) x 100). be. Therefore, when the promotion suggestion performance is executed after the mini character performance, winning to the 10R short time small win C is won by the gold pattern win confirmation display than when the promotion suggestion performance is executed after the symbol destruction performance. easy to do Therefore, even when the temporary display of the winning silver symbol (promotion suggesting performance) is executed after the mini character performance, it is possible to make the player have great expectations for winning the 10R time-saving small winning C by the resurrection. .

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 55(A), the degree of expectation for the development of the pattern destruction performance to the awakening development performance is 10%. is 20%. In other words, in the pattern destruction effect, there is a 10% probability that the silver symbol ready-to-win display will develop into the gold symbol ready-to-win display, while in the mini character effect, the silver symbol ready-to-win display will develop to the gold symbol ready-to-win display with a probability of 20%. . Therefore, the mini-character presentation is more preferable to the player than the pattern destruction presentation in that the pinch that can win the 10R normal small win easily develops into the chance that the 10R time-saving small win C can be won.

Also, in this form, as shown in FIG. 55(A), when the pattern destruction effect develops into an awakening development effect, the probability of winning the battle and becoming a confirmed display per gold symbol is 50% (5% ÷ (5% + 5 %)×100). On the other hand, when the mini-character presentation develops into the awakening development presentation, the probability of winning the battle and winning the gold symbol is 75% (15%÷(5%+15%)×100). Therefore, when the awakening development production is executed through the mini character production, winning to the 10R time-saving small winning C is obtained by the confirmation display of the gold symbol, rather than the case where the awakening development production is executed through the symbol destruction production. easy to do Therefore, when the awakening development effect is executed after the mini character effect, it is possible for the player to obtain the 10R time-saving small win with a very high probability. In other words, if the mini character presentation can be developed into an awakening presentation, it is possible to have expectations that a 10R time-saving small win can be obtained with an extremely high probability.

Next, production example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 51 and 52. FIG. First, as a precondition, in the time saving state after the jackpot game, the variable display of the special figure 2 is started. In this case, as shown in FIG. 51(A), the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C and 8R is started on the display screen 7a. At this time, the variable display of the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R is started on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. Subsequently, through the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R, as shown in FIG. 51(B), the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Ch, and 8Re indicate "385" and are temporarily stopped and displayed in a false-losing manner (separate eyes). do. Then, the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Ch, and 8Re are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are variably displayed again as shown in FIG. 51(C).

Subsequently, through the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R, as shown in FIG. 51(D), the performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cb, 8Ra are temporarily stopped and displayed in a false manner indicating "421". Then, the performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cb, and 8Ra are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are variably displayed again as shown in FIG. 51(E). Thus, in this form, in one special figure 2 fluctuation production, the fluctuation display of production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is always executed a plurality of times (two times or more). In other words, in one special figure 2 variation performance, the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R do not perform variable display only once and stop display definitely. Thereby, it is possible to make the player think that the special figure 2 lottery chance is executed many times in spite of one special figure 2 variation performance.

After being controlled to the time saving state, the variable display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R becomes the third time, and as shown in FIG. It becomes a reach mode. That is, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is performed. As a result, the player grasps the situation in which the 10R normal small prize can be won, and feels a pinch. In addition, as the silver symbol ready-to-win effect, attention should be paid to which silver symbol ready-to-win effect is to be executed, out of the symbol destruction effect or the mini character effect.

Then, as shown in FIG. 51(G), the symbol destruction effect is started. At this time, the player pays attention to which of the performance symbol 8Lc indicating "3", the performance symbol 8Cd indicating "4", and the awakening character symbol 8Rj indicating "awakened main character" will be destroyed. do. In other words, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is a pinch in which a 10R normal small win can be won, so the player expects the effect symbol 8Cd indicating "4" to be destroyed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 51(H), the effect symbol 8Cd indicating "4" changes to a cut effect symbol 8Cdx, and the awakening character symbol 8Rj indicating "awakened main character" is torn. It changes to the cut awakening character pattern 8Rjx. As a result, the production pattern 8Lc showing a different number ("3") from the production pattern ("4") shown in the ready-to-win mode continues to be displayed, and the silver pattern ready-to-win display changes to the jackpot mode (double). becoming is denied (prevented). In other words, it is indicated that the silver symbol ready-to-win display does not result in a jackpot mode (coordinates). As a result, the player is relieved to know that the winning of the 10R normal small prize is avoided.

Here, the meaning of the symbol destruction effect (negative effect) will be explained. In the symbol destruction effect, as shown in FIG. 51(G), the effect symbol 8Ld indicating "4" is displayed in the upper left part of the display screen 7a, and the effect symbol indicating "4" is displayed in the upper right part of the display screen. Since 8Rd is displayed, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is made. Then, in the state where the silver symbol ready-to-win display is performed, since the effect symbol 8Cd indicating "4" is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 7a, the silver effect symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rd are in a jackpot mode (double eyes). It is a situation that is likely to become At this time, as shown in FIG. 51(H), the production pattern 8Cd indicating "4" is changed to a cut production pattern 8Cdx, so that silver production patterns 8Ld, 8Cd, 8Rd jackpot mode (double eyes) ) is denied (prevented). In this way, in the pattern destruction performance (negative performance), the fact that the silver symbol ready-to-win display is changed to the big winning mode is denied, so that the player can understand that the 10R normal small winning (disadvantageous winning) is not won, and the player feels relieved. There is interest in giving

Note that the mini-character effect shown in FIG. 47(B) does not show a situation in which the silver symbol ready-to-win display is likely to lead to a jackpot mode (doubles) of silver effect symbols 8Ld, 8Cd, and 8Rd. In FIG. 47(C-2), the mission success image MKS is displayed, and it is not denied (prevented) from the silver symbol ready-to-win display to the big win mode (double eyes). Therefore, the mission effect does not correspond to the "negative effect".

Returning to the description of the production example 1. In FIG. 51(H), when the performance symbol 8Lc indicating "3" is displayed as it is without being destroyed, the performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cc, and 8Rd are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-win mode as shown in FIG. 52(A). do. Subsequently, the performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cc, 8Rd are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R are displayed again in a variable manner, as shown in FIG. 52(B). Thus, in the special figure 2 lottery, regardless of whether the winning is a small win or a big win, in one special figure 2 fluctuation performance, the silver symbol ready-to-win display does not change to the big win mode. It is possible to provide a novel game interest in which the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are again displayed in a variable manner (in a reach-losing mode).

Subsequently, through the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R, as shown in FIG. 52(C), the performance symbols 8Lf, 8Cc, 8Re are temporarily stopped and displayed in a false manner indicating "635". Then, the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Ch, and 8Re are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are variably displayed again as shown in FIG. 52(D). Thus, in this form, in one special figure 2 variation production, even after the silver design reach production is completed, the variable display of production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed multiple times (two or more times). There is something.

Then, in the second variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R after the end of the silver symbol ready-to-win performance, the performance symbols 8Lg, 8C, and 8Rg are "7↓7" as shown in FIG. It becomes a reach mode that shows. That is, the gold symbol ready-to-win display is performed. As a result, the player grasps the situation in which the 10R time-saving small winning C can be won, and feels that it is a chance. Also, as the gold symbol ready-to-win effect, attention is paid to which of the first enemy character battle effect or the second enemy character battle effect to be executed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 51(F), the second enemy character battle effect is started. That is, the second enemy character appearance image T2 and the second enemy character defeated image TI2 are displayed on the display screen 7a. As a result, the player grasps that the second enemy character battle performance in which the confirmation display of winning the gold symbol is more likely to be executed than the first enemy character battle performance is executed, and wins the 10R time-saving small winning C. greatly increase the expectations of After that, as shown in FIG. 52(G), a battle victory image WI indicating that the main character has won is displayed. As a result, it is possible for the player to grasp that the 10R time-saving small winning C has been won.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 52(H), as the gold symbol win confirmation display, the performance symbols 8Lg, 8Cg, and 8Rg are definitely stop-displayed in a jackpot mode indicating "777". Also, at this time, the small performance symbols 6L, 6C, 6R are definitely stopped and displayed in the big winning mode showing "777" on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. After that, a jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C is started, and after the jackpot game, the game is controlled to the time-saving state. In this way, when the winning of the gold symbols is confirmed and displayed, the player is given a great privilege that he can win the jackpot game at least twice after that as long as he plays the game normally.

As described above, in the first production example, two ready-to-win productions, that is, the pattern destruction production having a long production time and the second enemy character battle production are executed in spite of the single special figure 2 variation production. On top of that, after the symbol destruction effect is completed by the reach-losing mode of the effect symbols 8Ld, 8Cc and 8Rd (see FIG. 52(A)), the effect symbols 8L and 8C are executed before the second enemy character battle effect is started. , 8R are executed a plurality of times (see FIGS. 52B to 52D). Therefore, it is possible to make the player think that the pattern destruction effect and the second enemy character battle effect are performed by the variable display of the special figure 2, which are different from each other. Therefore, it seems to the player that two big chances (lottery for special figure 2), the symbol destruction effect and the second enemy character battle effect, have been executed in spite of the one special figure 2 variable effect. In addition, it is possible to provide a novel game entertainment.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, even before the symbol destruction effect is started, the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are displayed multiple times (see FIGS. 51A to 51F). Therefore, the symbol destruction effect executed after the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is executed a plurality of times, and the second enemy effect executed after the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R are executed a plurality of times. It is possible to make it look as if the character battle production and the production are separate productions. That is, conventionally, a pseudo-continuous effect in which the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed a plurality of times in one variable effect may be executed, but in this example of effect 1, the pseudo-continuous effect is accompanied. It is possible to make it look as if the symbol destruction effect and the second enemy character battle effect accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect are being executed by variable display of different special symbols (second special symbols). Therefore, it is possible for the player to enjoy two ready-to-win productions, namely, the pattern destruction production and the second enemy character battle production, in spite of one special figure 2 variation production.

Rendering example 2 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54. FIG. First, as a precondition, it is assumed that the 10R normal small hit is won in the lottery of special figure 2 with one second special figure reservation saved in the time saving state. Then, after the jackpot game, it is assumed that the normal game state is entered. In this case, as shown in FIG. 53(A), in the normal game state after the jackpot game, when the variable display of the special figure 2 is started by the remaining one second special figure reservation, FIG. As shown in (C), the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R is started on the display screen 7a. At this time, the variable display of the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R is started in the upper left part of the display screen 7a. Subsequently, through the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R, as shown in FIG. 53(B), the performance symbols 8Li, 8Cb, 8Re are temporarily stopped and displayed in a false manner indicating "925". Then, the performance symbols 8Lc, 8Ch, and 8Re are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are re-variably displayed as shown in FIG. 53(C).

Subsequently, through the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R, as shown in FIG. 53(D), the performance symbols 8Lc, 8C, 8Rc are in the ready-to-win mode indicating "3↓3". That is, the gold symbol ready-to-win display is performed. As a result, the player grasps the situation in which the 10R time-saving small winning C can be won, and feels that it is a chance. Then, as shown in FIG. 53(E), the first enemy character battle effect is started. That is, the first enemy character appearance image T1 and the first enemy character defeated image TI1 are displayed on the display screen 7a. As a result, the player is a little disappointed in that the second enemy character battle effect in which the gold symbol win confirmation display is likely to be executed was not started.

After that, as shown in FIG. 53(F), a battle defeat image LO indicating that the main character has been defeated is displayed. As a result, the player understands that the 10R time-saving small win C was not won, and expects the next performance result. Then, as shown in FIG. 53(G), the effect symbols 8Lc, 8Cd, and 8Rc are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-win state. Subsequently, the performance symbols 8Ld, 8Cc, and 8Rd are not definitely stopped and displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are variably displayed again as shown in FIG. 53(H). Thus, in the special figure 2 lottery, regardless of whether the winning is a small win or a big win, in one special figure 2 fluctuation performance, the golden symbol ready-to-win display does not change to the big win mode. (It becomes a reach-losing mode), and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R may perform variable display again. In this way, after the gold pattern ready-to-win performance making the player aware of winning the 10R time-saving small winning C is completed, the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are displayed again from the ready-to-win losing mode, giving an unexpected performance. can be shown.

Subsequently, through the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R, as shown in FIG. 54(A), the performance symbols 8Le, 8Ch, 8Rb are temporarily stopped and displayed in a false manner indicating "582". Then, the performance symbols 8Le, 8Ch, and 8Rb are not definitely stop-displayed, and the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are again variably displayed as shown in FIG. 54(B). Thus, in this form, in one special figure 2 fluctuation effect, even after the gold symbol reach effect is completed, the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is executed multiple times (two or more times). there is something

Then, in the second variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R after the gold symbol ready-to-win performance is completed, as shown in FIG. It becomes a reach mode that shows. That is, the silver symbol ready-to-win display is performed. As a result, the player grasps the situation in which the 10R normal small prize can be won, and feels a pinch. In addition, as the silver symbol ready-to-win effect, attention should be paid to which silver symbol ready-to-win effect is to be executed, out of the symbol destruction effect or the mini character effect.

Then, as shown in FIG. 54(D), the mini-character effect is started. As a result, although the player is in a pinch in terms of winning the 10R normal small win, the awakening development performance is more likely to be executed than the symbol destruction performance, and the gold symbol win is confirmed when the promotion suggesting performance is executed. It leaves a little to be desired in terms of how easy it is to display. In this mini-character presentation, the player expects that no card will appear showing the same number "6" as in the ready-to-win mode. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 54(E), a mission failure image MKF is displayed indicating that the card indicating "6" has been turned over by the mini character. As a result, the player understands that the possibility of winning the 10R normal small prize is very high, and is disappointed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 54(F), as a temporary silver symbol winning display, a temporary stop display is performed in a big winning mode (doubles) in which production symbols 8Lf, 8Cf, and 8Rf indicate "666". However, at this time, the small effect symbols 6L, 6C and 6R continue to be variably displayed on the upper left portion of the display screen 7a. After that, as shown in FIG. 54(G), a promotion suggesting effect is executed, and the display screen 7a shows a button image BA modeled after the effect button 63 and the characters "Press the button to go to the gold symbol!" A button operation character image PU is displayed. As a result, the player presses the effect button 63 in anticipation of winning the 10R time-saving small win C again.

Then, as shown in FIG. 54(H), a confirmation display of winning gold symbols is performed. That is, the silver production patterns 8Lf, 8Cf, 8Rf jackpot mode ("666") is promoted to the golden production patterns 8Lg, 8Cg, 8Rg jackpot mode ("777"), and the golden production patterns 8Lg, 8Cg , 8Rg deterministically stop and display in a jackpot mode. At this time, the promotion success image SU is displayed on the upper part of the display screen 7a, and the small effect symbols 6L, 6C, and 6R are determined in the big win mode indicating "333" on the upper left part of the display screen 7a. stop display. In this way, the player is given a great sense of exhilaration that he was able to win the 10R time-saving small prize C after recovering from a situation in which there is a high possibility of winning the 10R normal small prize. After that, a jackpot game based on the winning of the 10R time-saving small hit C is started, and after the jackpot game, the game is controlled to the time-saving state.

As described above, in production example 2, two reach productions, the first enemy character battle production with a long production time and the mini character production, are executed even though it is a single special figure 2 variation production immediately after shifting to the normal game state. It is Even before the first enemy character battle effect and the mini character effect are started, respectively, the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed multiple times. Therefore, even if it is one special figure 2 fluctuation production immediately after shifting to the normal game state, the first enemy character battle production and the mini character production are performed in separate special figure 2 fluctuation displays. It is possible to make you think. Therefore, immediately after the transition to the normal game state, the player can be made to think that there are multiple chances for the lottery of the special figure 2 in spite of the one special figure 2 fluctuation performance. , it is possible to enhance the game interest of the performance immediately after shifting to the normal game state.

Also, in production example 2, as the silver symbol ready-to-win effect, a mini character effect is executed, and as shown in FIG. At this time, the player is disappointed because winning the 10R normal small prize is suggested. However, after that, the promotion suggesting effect shown in FIG. ) can be expected. In particular, in the silver symbol ready-to-win effect, when the promotion suggestion effect is executed in the mini character effect, it is set so that the gold symbol win confirmation display is easier to execute than when the promotion suggestion effect is executed in the symbol destruction effect. (See FIG. 55(A)). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 54(F), by the silver symbol reach temporary display, while making the election to the 10R normal small hit considerably conscious, as shown in FIG. It is possible to give the player a thrilling feeling that there is a good chance of winning the prize.

Here, in the pachinko game machine 1, the upper limit of the number of reserved balls for the special figure 2 is 1, and the lottery for the special figure 2 is not lost, and it is possible to win a big win or a small win. Either (see FIG. 8A). Therefore, in the time-saving state, the lottery of the special figure 2 is executed only once, and a small prize is basically won immediately. In addition, even after the shift from the time-saving state to the normal game state, the drawing of the special figure 2 is executed only once due to the remaining one second special figure reservation, and a small prize is basically won immediately. do. Therefore, the player may have the impression of being careless in the game in the time saving state and in the game immediately after shifting from the time saving state to the normal game state.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in production example 1 and production example 2, special figure 2 fluctuation production in the time saving state, and special figure 2 fluctuation production immediately after shifting to the normal game state, production The variable display of the symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is always executed multiple times. Therefore, despite the variable display of the special figure 2 once each, the variable display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R is continuously executed (executed without interruption), and the lottery of the special figure 2 is plural. It is possible to make it appear to be running twice. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from having the impression of being careless in the game in the time saving state and in the game immediately after shifting from the time saving state to the normal game state.

Furthermore, in this form, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production in the time saving state and the special figure 2 fluctuation production immediately after shifting to the normal game state, after the fluctuation display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R is executed multiple times, 10R Either the gold symbol ready-to-win display that makes the player aware of winning the time-saving small win C or the silver symbol ready-to-win display that makes the player aware of the winning of the 10R normal small win is always displayed. In this way, the player will be made to pay attention to which of the silver symbol ready-to-win effect or the gold symbol ready-to-win effect will be branched through the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R a plurality of times. It is possible to increase the game interest in the FIG. 2 variation performance and the special figure 2 variation performance immediately after shifting to the normal game state.

In production example 1 and production example 2, two reach productions (in production example 1, pattern destruction production and second enemy character battle production, in production example 2, the first enemy character battle production and mini-character production) were executed. However, even if it is one special figure 2 fluctuation production, there are times when three reach productions are performed at maximum. That is, in production example 1, the battle victory production is executed in FIG. 52(G), but the battle defeat production is executed instead, and then the silver symbol ready-to-lose provisional display may be performed. In this case, the silver symbol ready-to-win effect or the gold symbol ready-to-win effect is executed through the re-variation display of the subsequent effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R.

In this way, in this form, in one special figure 2 fluctuation production, three reach productions (silver design reach production, gold design reach production) are executed at maximum. Then, the silver symbol ready-to-win effect (symbol destruction effect, mini character effect) may be executed continuously, and the gold symbol ready-to-win effect (first enemy character battle effect, second enemy character battle effect) may be executed continuously. sometimes And even if the gold pattern reach production (especially the second enemy character battle production) that makes you aware of winning the 10R time-saving small hit C is executed, after that, after the reach loss provisional display, finally, the silver pattern hit confirmation display Sometimes it is done. Therefore, even if it is one special figure 2 fluctuation production, various productions (variation display of multiple production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R, silver design reach production, gold design reach production) can be executed, The player is kept from being conscious of the one-time special figure 2 variation performance as much as possible.

[Special Figure 2 Fluctuation Performance Pattern Determination Process] Next, the special figure 2 variation performance pattern determination process will be described with reference to FIG. Production control microcomputer 91, in the received command analysis process (S4301) described above, when it is determined that the special figure 2 fluctuation start command is received, special figure 2 by the special figure 2 fluctuation production pattern determination process shown in FIG. A variable performance pattern is determined. The special figure 2 fluctuation production pattern is a variation production pattern for executing the special figure 2 fluctuation production, and if the fluctuation production pattern is decided, the time of the fluctuation production, the fluctuation display mode of the production pattern, the production development configuration, the production pattern The details of the effect content of the variable effect, such as the display mode, are determined. It should be noted that, by sending a variable production start command including the determined special figure 2 fluctuation production pattern to the image control board 100, the special figure 2 fluctuation production based on the special figure 2 fluctuation production pattern is executed on the display screen 7a. will be

As shown in FIG. 56, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production pattern determination process, the production control microcomputer 91 first, based on the information of the special figure stop pattern data included in the special figure 2 fluctuation start command, the type of hit (S5001). That is, in the lottery of special figure 2, it is grasped which of the 10R short time big hit, 10R short time small hit C, and 10R normal small hit (see FIG. 6). Subsequently, the production control microcomputer 91 grasps the fluctuation time based on the information of the fluctuation pattern (see FIG. 9) included in the special figure 2 fluctuation start command (S5002). Here, as shown in FIG. 9, in any variation pattern of the second special symbol, the variation time is 32500 msec or more. As a result, in the special figure 2 variation performance, the variation display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R can be performed a plurality of times (two or more times).

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines the type of winning (10R short-time big win, 10R short-time small win C, 10R normal small win (see FIG. 6)) at the time of design determination (the second special symbol is stopped and displayed. Time) determines the reach effect (S5003). For example, in the case of a 10R time-saving small hit C, an effect of finally displaying a gold symbol win determination is determined. That is, it is possible to determine the effect of performing the gold symbol confirmation display from the first enemy character battle effect, and the effect of performing the gold symbol confirmation display from the second enemy character battle effect (see FIG. 37). In addition, from the temporary display of the silver pattern in the pattern destruction production, to the promotion suggestion production, to the confirmation display of the gold pattern, the remaining awakening character pattern display of the pattern destruction production, the awakening development production, and the confirmation display of the gold pattern. It is possible to decide between the temporary display of the silver symbol in the mini character production, the promotion suggestion production, and the confirmation display of the gold symbol, and the awakening development production of the mini character, the awakening development production, and the confirmation display of the gold symbol (Fig. 42).

In addition, in the case of a 10R normal small hit, an effect of finally displaying a silver symbol hit determination is determined. In other words, it is decided to perform the temporary display of silver symbols in the symbol destruction effect, the promotion suggestion effect, and then the silver symbol win confirmation display, and the mini character effect of the silver symbol win temporary display, the promotion suggestion effect, and the silver symbol win confirmation display. (see Figure 42). In the case of the 10R time-saving jackpot, neither the gold symbol ready-to-win effect nor the silver symbol ready-to-win effect is executed, and a dedicated special effect is determined.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 calculates the remaining effect time based on the fluctuation time and the ready-to-win effect at the time of design determination (S5004). Here, the performance time is predetermined for each performance executed in the special figure 2 variable performance. Therefore, the remaining effect time is calculated by subtracting the effect time determined in step S5003 from the fluctuation time.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines the ready-to-win effect to be executed before the ready-to-win effect at the time of design determination based on the remaining effect time (S5005). However, the ready-to-win effect determined at this time is a ready-to-win effect that finally becomes a temporary display of ready-to-win failure. In other words, it is possible to determine the effect of performing the ready-to-win provisional display from the first enemy character battle effect and the effect of performing the ready-to-miss temporary display from the second enemy character battle effect (see FIG. 37). Alternatively, from the pattern destruction production to the remaining gold pattern display, the reach provisional display is performed, the remaining awakening character pattern display of the pattern destruction production is awakened development production, and the reach loss provisional display is made after the success production from the mini character production. It is possible to determine the effect of displaying, the effect of performing the temporary display of ready-to-win failure through the awakening development effect from the awakening card appearance effect of the mini character effect (see FIG. 42). In step S5005, if the effect control microcomputer 91 determines that there is no effect time for executing the ready-to-win effect, it does not determine the ready-to-win effect to be executed prior to the ready-to-win effect at the time of design determination. On the other hand, if the performance control microcomputer 91 determines that there is performance time for executing two ready-to-win performances, it determines two ready-to-win performances to be executed prior to the ready-to-win performance at the time of pattern determination.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 calculates the remaining effect time based on the variation time and the sum of the effect times of the ready-to-win effect determined so far (S5006). Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 91 determines whether or not the remaining effect time calculated in step S5006 is 5000 ms or more (S5007). If the remaining performance time is not 5000 ms or more (NO in S5007), the process returns to step S5005, and again, based on the remaining performance time, the ready-to-win performance to be executed before the ready-to-win performance at the time of design determination is determined. On the other hand, if the remaining performance time is 5000 ms or more (YES in S5007), the number of variations of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is determined based on the remaining performance time (S5008).

Here, in special figure 2 fluctuation production, you explain concerning the time of fluctuation display of production design 8L, 8C and 8R. In this form, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, the time during which the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R are fluctuating display is fixed to 2000 ms, and the temporary stop display time for the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is set to 500 ms. Fixed. Therefore, one cycle time from when the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are variably displayed to when they are temporarily stopped in a misaligned manner is set to 2500 ms. And, in this form, in special figure 2 fluctuation production, fluctuation display of production design 8L, 8C and 8R is made sure to be executed plural times. In this way, the time of 5000 ms is the variable display of performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R (2000 ms) ⇒ temporary stop display of performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R (500 ms) ⇒ variable display of performance symbols 8L, 8C and 8R (2000 ms) ⇒ It is time to secure the reach display (500 ms). As described above, in step S5007, if the remaining effect time is less than 5000 ms, the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R cannot be performed twice or more, and the process returns to step S5005.

When proceeding to step S5008, based on the remaining performance time, the number of variations of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is determined to be two or more. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, since the variation time of the second special symbol is a multiple of 2500 ms, the number of variations of the production symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is determined as a natural number of 2 or more. In addition, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, how many times the fluctuation display of production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is executed before the first reach production starts, and the fluctuation display of production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is the second time. How many times before the ready-to-win effect is started, and how many times the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed before the third ready-to-win effect is started are determined in advance. It is determined by lottery using a table (not shown). By the above, the information of the production content to be executed in the special figure 2 fluctuation production (contents and order of the reach production, the production pattern 8L, 8C, 8R to be executed before the start of the reach production, etc.) special figure including the number of fluctuations A 2-variation effect pattern is determined (S5009), and this process is finished.

In this embodiment, when the variation production start command including the information of the special figure 2 fluctuation production pattern determined as described above is transmitted to the image control board 100, the special figure 2 fluctuation production is produced by production patterns 8L, 8C, The variable display of 8R is always performed multiple times. Then, in one special figure 2 variation production, the number of times of variation of the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R (the number of fluctuation display) may be 5 times or more, and the variation of the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R in the pseudo continuous production It may be more than the number of times (within 4 times). And unlike the pseudo-continuous performance, the special figure 2 variation performance of this form does not suggest that the winning expectation for winning increases even if the number of variations of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R increases. In other words, the number of variations of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R in the special figure 2 variation performance and the height of the winning expectation to the hit (for example, 10R short time small hit C) are completely irrelevant.

In addition, in this form, even with one special figure 2 variation production, a maximum of three reach productions (silver design reach production, gold design reach production) can be executed. Then, before each ready-to-win effect is started, the variable display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R may be executed a plurality of times. In this way, in this form, it is possible to show the player as if the special figure 2 lottery is being executed many times even with one special figure 2 fluctuation effect, and one time in the time saving state It is possible to enhance the game interest of the special figure 2 variation performance and the one special figure 2 variation performance immediately after shifting to the normal game state.

9. As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present form, as described in detail, when the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are displayed in the reach mode in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, the reach The mode includes a silver design reach display (see FIG. 51 (F)) that makes you aware of winning the 10R time-saving small hit C, and a gold design reach display that makes you aware of the winning of the 10R normal small hit (see FIG. 52 (E)) ) and there is. Therefore, it is possible for the player to be clearly aware of which of the 10R time-saving small win C or the 10R normal small win is won from the time when the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R are displayed in the ready-to-win mode. It is possible to provide novel game entertainment.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 51(F), when the silver symbol ready-to-win display is performed, the player is disappointed thinking that the 10R normal small win can be won. In other words, when the performance symbols 8Ld, 8C, and 8Rd are in the ready-to-win state indicating "4↓4", the possibility of winning the 10R normal small hit is high. However, even in this case, as shown in FIG. 51(H), the effect symbol 8Ld showing the same number ("4") as the effect symbol shown in the ready-to-win state is torn apart by the symbol destruction effect. It may change to a cutting effect pattern 8Ldx. That is, from the silver symbol ready-to-win display of the performance symbols 8Ld, 8C, and 8Rd, it is denied that the performance symbols become a jackpot mode (doubles). Therefore, the symbol destruction effect makes the player recognize that the situation of winning the 10R normal small prize is avoided, and it is possible to provide the game interest with a sense of relief.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, in the symbol destruction effect, as shown in FIG. , Change to gold design reach display. As a result, the player grasps that the situation in which the possibility of winning the 10R normal small prize has changed to the situation in which the possibility of winning the 10R short-time small prize C has changed, and feels an exhilaration. . In addition, in the symbol destruction effect, when the remaining gold symbols are displayed as shown in FIG. 43(C-2), the ready-to-win lost provisional display is performed as shown in FIG. 45(A). As a result, the player recognizes that the lottery result of the special figure 2 is a loss, and aims to win the time-saving small win C in the lottery of the special figure 2 after the next time. In this way, it is possible to provide a novel game interest by having variations in the pattern destruction effect.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning of the 10R time-saving small winning C is indicated through the gold symbol ready-to-win display (when the gold symbol winning confirmation display is performed), the time-saving after the big winning game. State controlled. On the other hand, when the winning of the 10R normal small winning is shown through the silver symbol ready-to-win display (when the silver symbol winning confirmation display is made), the game is controlled to the normal game state after the big winning game. Therefore, when the silver symbol ready-to-win display is made, the player thinks that winning the 10R normal small prize will control the game to the normal game state, and is greatly disappointed. Therefore, in this case, in the symbol destruction effect, as shown in FIG. 51(H), the player is controlled to the normal game state by denying (preventing) the transition from the silver symbol ready-to-win display to the jackpot mode. It can provide a great sense of relief, recognizing that a situation that was likely to lead to an accident has been avoided.

In addition, according to the pachinko game machine 1 of this embodiment, when the silver symbol ready-to-win effect (symbol destruction effect, mini character effect) is executed, the player understands that there is a high possibility of winning the 10R normal small prize. I will do it. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with a novel game interest that makes the player clearly aware of winning the 10R normal small prize, not losing or winning the 10R time-saving small prize C, by the silver pattern reach effect. is.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, when the symbol destruction effect (silver symbol reach effect) shown in FIG. 43(B) develops into the awakening development effect shown in FIG. It is understood that the situation has changed from a situation in which there is a high possibility of winning a win to a situation in which there is a high possibility of winning in the 10R time-saving small win C. Similarly, when the mini-character effect (silver pattern ready-to-win effect) shown in FIG. 47(B) develops into the awakening development effect shown in FIG. . Therefore, even if the silver pattern reach production (symbol destruction production, mini character production) is executed, the player has a novel game interest that suddenly approaches the winning of the 10R short time small hit C due to the development to the awakening development production. It is possible to provide

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 55A, the awakening development effect is more likely to be executed in the mini character effect than in the symbol destruction effect. Therefore, when the mini-character presentation is executed, the player can have high expectations for development to the awakening development presentation, and it is possible to increase the interest in the game in the mini-character presentation.

Moreover, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Possibilities of confirmation display for silver symbols (possibility of winning 10R normal small prizes) are also different. Concretely, in the present embodiment, it is more difficult to execute the confirmation display of winning a silver symbol in the mini character effect than in the symbol destruction effect. Therefore, when the symbol destruction effect or the mini character effect is executed, the player can have a completely different expectation, and it is possible to enhance the game interest in the silver symbol ready-to-win effect.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, if the 10R time-saving small hit C is won in the lottery of the special figure 2, it is controlled to the time-saving state after the big hit game, while in the lottery of the special figure 2 If the 10R normal small win is won, the game is controlled to the normal game state after the big win game. Therefore, when the silver symbol ready-to-win performance (symbol destruction performance, mini character performance) is executed, the player is greatly disappointed thinking that the game will be controlled to the normal game state by winning the 10R normal small prize. Therefore, in this case, when the awakening development effect is executed, the player can be made to recognize that the situation has changed to a state in which there is a high possibility of being controlled to the time-saving state, and a great sense of relief and exhilaration can be given. .

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, from the silver symbol reach performance, which is the symbol destruction effect or the mini character effect, by the silver symbol winning temporary display (see FIG. 44 (A) or FIG. 48 (A)), the 10R normal winning When the winning is suggested, the player understands that the winning of the 10R time-saving small win C cannot be obtained and is disappointed. However, even in this case, the gold symbol hit confirmation display from the promotion suggestion effect (see FIG. 44 (C-2) or FIG. 48 (C-2)) allows the player to win the 10R short time small hit C. sometimes you can get it. In this way, it is possible to provide the player with a novel game interest that the winning to the 10R time-saving small winning C can be obtained by promotion even after the player recognizes the winning to the 10R normal small winning from the silver symbol ready-to-win performance. is.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. It is easy to execute symbol hit confirmation display. Therefore, when the player is suggested to win the 10R normal small prize through the mini character presentation (see FIG. 48(A)), the player can have high expectations for the gold symbol win confirmation display from the promotion suggestion presentation. . Therefore, it is possible to increase the interest in the game with the mini character presentation.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 55A, the mini-character effect is more difficult to execute the silver symbol winning provisional display than the symbol destruction effect. In other words, the mini-character effect is less likely to suggest winning the 10R normal small prize than the pattern destruction effect. Furthermore, as described above, even if a silver symbol win is temporarily displayed in the mini character production, the gold symbol win confirmation display from the promotion suggestion production is more likely to be executed than the case where the silver symbol win is temporarily displayed in the symbol destruction production. . In this way, when the mini-character effect is executed, it is possible to make the player feel the expectation that it is difficult to win the 10R normal small prize than when the symbol destruction effect is executed.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, if the 10R time-saving small hit C is won in the lottery of the special figure 2, it is controlled to the time-saving state after the big hit game, while in the lottery of the special figure 2 If the 10R normal small win is won, the game is controlled to the normal game state after the big win game. Therefore, when winning of the 10 normal small win is suggested from the silver symbol ready-to-win performance (symbol destruction performance, mini character performance), the player is greatly disappointed thinking that it will be controlled to the normal game state. Therefore, in this case, when the confirmation display of winning gold symbols from the promotion suggestion performance is performed, the player can grasp that the control is to be performed in a time-saving state, and can give a great sense of relief and exhilaration due to the revival. is.

Moreover, according to the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the time saving state, when the special figure 2 variation effect is executed by entering the game ball into the second start port 21 (electric chew 22), FIG. 51 (A) As shown in to (E), the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed a plurality of times. In other words, when one game ball enters the second starting hole 21, the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is not performed only once. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the game interest of the special figure 2 variation production based on the ball entering the second start port 21.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine 1 of this embodiment, only one big hit determination process based on the ball entering the second start hole 21 is suspended. That is, the upper limit of the number of special figures 2 reserved balls is 1. However, when the special figure 2 variation effect is executed by the jackpot determination process in which only one is reserved, the variation display of the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed multiple times (see FIGS. 51 (A) to (E) ). Therefore, even if the upper limit number of the special figure 2 reserved balls is 1, in the special figure 2 variation production, the variable display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R is continuously executed multiple times without interruption. It is possible to make it look like it is.

In addition, according to the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the time saving state, based on the ball entering the second start port 21, it is immediately determined as a small hit in the lottery of the special figure 2, so the player can save time. It may give the impression that the special figure 2 fluctuation effect in the state is performed only once. Furthermore, since the upper limit number of the special figure 2 reserved balls is 1, the impression that the special figure 2 fluctuation effect based on the second special figure reservation is performed only once immediately after the shift from the time saving state to the normal game state may give However, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the special figure 2 variation production, since the variation display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed multiple times, both immediately after the shift to the time saving state and the normal game state (See production example 1 shown in FIGS. 51 and 52 and production example 2 shown in FIGS. 53 and 54), it is possible to show the player that the special figure 2 fluctuation production is being executed multiple times. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect in the time-saving state and the effect immediately after the transition to the normal game state from being monotonous.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the ready-to-win mode of the effect patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is shown in the special figure 2 variable effect, the gold pattern ready-to-win display that makes you aware of winning to the 10R time-saving small winning C, Alternatively, a silver symbol ready-to-win display is displayed to make the player aware of winning the 10R normal small prize. Therefore, in the special figure 2 variation performance, the player is shown the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R a plurality of times, and pays attention to which of the gold symbol ready-to-win display or the silver symbol ready-to-win display is shown. As a result, it is possible to enhance the game interest of the special figure 2 variation production.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the pattern destruction effect and the second enemy character battle effect are performed in spite of the one-time special figure 2 variable display. may be executed. Furthermore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 52(A), after the symbol destruction effect (first specific effect, first ready-to-reach effect) is completed, the second enemy character battle effect ( Before the second specific effect, second ready-to-win effect) is started, as shown in FIGS. By the variable display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R multiple times, the impression that the pattern destruction production and the second enemy character battle production are separated is given, and the special figure 2 is displayed once. It is possible to make it difficult to notice that Therefore, even if the variation display of the special figure 2 is performed once, it is possible to make the player think that the jackpot determination process (lottery of the special figure 2) is being executed a plurality of times, It is possible to improve a game interest.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, in one variable display of the special figure 2, as shown in FIGS. After (3 times), as shown in FIGS. 51(G) and (H), symbol destruction effect may be executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 52(A), the reach-losing provisional display suggests that the game is a loser. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 52(B) to (D), after the variable display of the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed a plurality of times (twice), as shown in FIGS. 52(F) and (G), Also, a second enemy character battle effect may be executed. In this way, even though the special figure 2 is displayed once, the pseudo-continuous effect and the pattern destruction effect are executed, and then the pseudo-continuous effect and the second enemy character battle effect are executed. It is possible to show Therefore, even a player accustomed to the pseudo-continuous effect can be made difficult to notice that the pseudo-continuous effect and the second enemy character battle effect are performed by the single variable display of the special figure 2. .

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, between two different reach performances, namely, the symbol destruction performance (silver symbol reach performance) and the second enemy character battle performance (gold symbol reach performance), FIG. As shown in (D), the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R may be variably displayed a plurality of times. Therefore, it is possible to make the player think that the variable display of the special figure 2 accompanied by the pattern destruction effect and the variable display of the special figure 2 accompanied by the second enemy character battle effect are executed separately. is. Therefore, in spite of the one-time variable display of the special figure 2, it is possible to enjoy the ready-to-win production (symbol destruction production, second enemy character battle production) accompanied by two thrilling feelings.

10. Modification Next, a modification of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above-described form (this form) will be described. In addition, in the description of the modified example, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be combined as appropriate. In addition, technical features in the above-described first embodiment and modifications below can be deleted as appropriate if they are not described as essential in this specification.

In the above form, in the advantageous reach mode of gold symbol reach display (see FIG. 38 (A)), awareness of winning to 10R short time small per C (advantageous per) rather than winning to 10R normal small per (disadvantage per) It was something that made However, what is conscious of the advantageous reach mode is not limited to winning the 10R short time small per C, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the advantageous reach mode is one that makes you aware of winning a win with a large number of rounds (jackpot, small win (two types of jackpots)), and winning a win that can win a V prize (jackpot, small win (two types)) , conscious of winning a jackpot controlled to a high probability state after a jackpot game, conscious of winning a jackpot controlled to a time-saving state with a large number of times of time saving after a jackpot game, a limiter after a jackpot game A lot of times (continuous upper limit number of times controlled in the privilege game state) make you aware of winning the jackpot, and winning the jackpot controlled in the small win rush state (high probability non-time saving state) after the jackpot game It may be something that makes you conscious.

In the above form, in the disadvantageous reach mode of silver pattern reach display (see FIG. 43 (A)), conscious of winning 10R normal small hit (disadvantage hit) rather than winning 10R short time small hit C (advantage hit) It was something that made However, what is conscious of the disadvantageous reach mode is not limited to winning the 10R normal small hit, but can be changed as appropriate. For example, the advantageous reach mode is one that makes you aware of winning a win with a small number of rounds (jackpot, small win (2 types of jackpot)), and a win that cannot be won (jackpot, small win (2 types of jackpot)) Things that make you aware of winning, things that make you aware of winning a big win that is controlled to a normal probability state after a big winning game, things that make you aware of winning a big win that is controlled to a time saving state with a small number of times of time saving after a big winning game, after a big winning game Those that make you aware of winning a big win in which the limiter number of times (continuous upper limit number of times controlled in the privilege game state) is set low, and winning a big win that is not controlled in a small win rush state (high probability non-time-saving state) after the big win game It may be something that makes you conscious.

In the above-described form, the advantageous ready-to-win mode that makes the player aware of winning an advantageous winning is a display mode in which the production patterns 8c and 8g indicating gold "3" or "7" are in the ready-to-win mode. However, the advantageous reach mode is not limited to the reach mode of the production patterns 8c and 8g indicating the golden "3" or "7". The display mode may be a reach mode, and can be changed as appropriate.

In the above-described form, the disadvantageous reach mode that makes you aware of the winning of the disadvantageous hit is the production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d showing silver "1", "2", "4", "5", "6", "8", "9", 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i were display modes in reach mode. However, the advantageous reach mode is the reach mode of production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, 8i showing silver ``1'', ``2'', ``4'', ``5'', ``6'', ``8'' and ``9''. For example, the display mode may be a reach mode in which a special performance pattern (for example, a pattern showing a skull) instead of a number may be displayed, and can be changed as appropriate.

In the above form, as a negative effect that denies that the silver symbol ready-to-win display will become a jackpot mode (double eyes), in the state where the silver symbol ready-to-win is displayed, the production symbol 8Cd indicating "4" is torn off. The pattern changed to 8Cdx (see FIGS. 43(C-2) and 43(C-3)). However, the negative effect is not limited to the above effect, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, in a state where the silver symbol ready-to-win display is being performed, an effect in which the effect symbol 8d indicating "4" (a effect symbol indicating the same number as the ready-to-win mode) moves so as to disappear from the display screen 7a, or "4" is displayed. The production design 8d shown (the production design showing the same number as the ready-to-win mode) is a production design other than "4" (for example, production design 8c showing "3"). .

In the above mode, the effect from the display of the remaining awakened character symbol shown in FIG. 43(C-3) in the symbol destruction effect to the awakening development effect shown in FIG. 46(A) corresponds to the "first negative effect". It was something to do. However, the production mode of the first negative production is not limited to the above-described one, as long as the silver symbol ready-to-win display (display in the unfavorable reach mode) changes to the gold symbol ready-to-win display (display in the advantageous reach mode) , can be changed as appropriate. Therefore, for example, the production patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h, and 8i that constitute the silver design reach display change one by one, and the gold production patterns 8c and 8g change to the gold design reach display. It may be a performance to do.

In the above mode, the effect from the remaining gold symbol display shown in FIG. 43 (C-2) in the symbol destruction effect to the reach-losing provisional display shown in FIG. 45 (A) corresponds to the "second negative effect". Ta. However, the effect mode of the second negative effect is not limited to the one described above, and can be changed as appropriate as long as the silver symbol ready-to-win display (display in the unfavorable reach mode) changes to the losing mode. Therefore, for example, it may be an effect that changes from a silver symbol ready-to-win display to a disjointed mode that is a loose eye.

In the above form, when the 10R time-saving small per C (advantageous per) is won, after the two-type jackpot game (after the special game), it is controlled to the time-saving state (advantageous game state), while the 10R normal small per When (disadvantageous winning) was won, the game was controlled to the normal game state (disadvantageous game state) after the two-kind jackpot game (after the special game). However, the relationship between the advantageous gaming state after the special game when winning an advantageous win and the unfavorable gaming state after the special game when winning a disadvantageous win is not limited to the time-saving state and the normal game state. can be changed as appropriate. For example, the advantageous gaming state and the disadvantageous gaming state are a high probability state (a gaming state with a high probability of being determined to be a jackpot in a special symbol lottery than a normal probability state) and a normal probability state, a high probability time saving state and a non-time saving state It may be a game state other than the (small hit rush state) and the small hit rush state. It should be noted that the same game state may be controlled after the special game (after the 1st kind jackpot game, after the 2nd kind jackpot game) regardless of whether it is an advantageous hit or a disadvantageous hit. In this case, it is preferable that the winning of advantageous wins gives more privileges to the player than the winning of unfavorable wins, except for the game state given after the big winning game. For example, depending on the number of rounds in the jackpot game, whether it is possible to win V prizes, the number of times of time reduction, the number of limiters, etc. It suffices to increase the number of benefits given to the player.

In the above form, in the special figure 2 variable effect, when the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are in the ready-to-win mode, either the silver design ready-to-win display or the gold design ready-to-win display is shown. However, in the special figure 2 fluctuation production, when the production patterns 8L, 8C, 8R are in the reach mode, in addition to the silver pattern reach display or the gold pattern reach display, the advantageous hit (10R short time small hit C) or the disadvantageous hit (10R normal A normal ready-to-win state in which it is not known which one of the small wins will be won may be displayed.

In the above form, as a disadvantageous reach effect, a silver pattern reach effect (symbol destruction effect, mini character effect) that makes you conscious of winning the 10R normal small win (disadvantageous win) rather than winning the 10R time-saving small win C (advantageous win) executed. However, the disadvantageous ready-to-win production is not limited to the silver symbol ready-to-win production, and the production mode can be appropriately changed as long as it makes the player aware of the winning of the disadvantageous winning rather than the winning of the advantageous winning. For example, the unfavorable reach effect may be a battle effect, a race effect, or the like.

In the above form, the disadvantageous reach effect of silver pattern reach effect (symbol destruction effect, mini character effect) is more conscious of winning the 10R normal small hit (disadvantage hit) than winning the 10R short time small hit C (advantage hit). It was something that made However, what is conscious of the disadvantageous reach effect is not limited to winning the 10R normal small hit, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the unfavorable reach effect is a win with a small number of rounds (jackpot, small win (two types of jackpots)) that makes you aware of winning, and wins that cannot be won (jackets, small wins (two types of jackpots)). , conscious of winning a jackpot controlled to a normal probability state after a jackpot game, conscious of winning a jackpot controlled to a time-saving state with a small number of times after a jackpot game, a limiter after a jackpot game Conscious of winning a jackpot with a small number of times (continuous upper limit number of times controlled in a privilege game state), and winning a jackpot that is not controlled in a small win rush state (high probability non-time-saving state) after a jackpot game It may be something that causes

In the above form, as an advantageous reach production, a gold pattern reach production (first enemy character battle production, 2nd Enemy Character Battle Production) was executed. However, the advantageous ready-to-reach performance is not limited to the gold symbol ready-to-win performance, and the performance mode can be appropriately changed as long as it makes the player aware of winning the advantageous winning rather than winning the unfavorable winning. For example, the disadvantageous reach effect may be a mini character effect, a story effect, or the like.

In the above form, in the advantageous reach production of gold pattern reach production (first enemy character battle production, second enemy character battle production), 10R short time small hit C (advantageous It was something that made me aware of the election to the hit. However, what is conscious of the advantageous reach effect is not limited to winning the 10R time-saving small hit C, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the advantageous reach effect makes you aware of winning a win with a large number of rounds (jackpot, small win (two types of jackpots)), and wins to wins that can win V prizes (jackets, small wins (two types of jackpots)) , conscious of winning a jackpot controlled to a high probability state after a jackpot game, conscious of winning a jackpot controlled to a time-saving state with a large number of times of time saving after a jackpot game, a limiter after a jackpot game Those that make you aware of winning a big win in which the number of times (continuous upper limit number of times controlled in a privilege game state) are set many times, and winning a big win controlled in a small win rush state (high probability non-time saving state) after a big win game It may be something that makes you conscious.

In the above form, from the silver pattern reach production (symbol destruction production, mini character production) to the advantageous winning (10R short time small winning C) rather than the disadvantageous winning (10R normal small winning) Awakening development production (advantageous development production) ) (see FIG. 42). However, the advantageous development effect is not limited to the awakening development effect (see FIG. 46) in which the awakened main character fights against a special enemy character, and is intended to make the player more conscious of winning an advantageous win rather than winning an unfavorable win. If so, it can be changed as appropriate. For example, the advantageous development production is a full-rotation ready-to-win production in which the production symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R rotate in a double-row state, and a gold pattern ready-to-win production (first enemy character battle production, second enemy character battle production). Also good.

In the above form, in the awakening development production (advantageous development production) that develops from the silver pattern reach production (symbol destruction production, mini character production), the 10R short time small hit C (advantageous It was something that made me aware of the election to the hit. However, what is conscious of the advantageous development production is not limited to winning the 10R short time small hit C, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, advantageous development effects are those that make you aware of winning a win with a large number of rounds (big win, small win), those that make you aware of winning a win that can win a V prize (big win, small win (two types of big wins)), Those that make you aware of winning a jackpot that is controlled in a high probability state after a jackpot game, those that make you aware of winning a jackpot that is controlled in a time-saving state with a large number of times after a jackpot game, Limiter number of times after a jackpot game (privilege game state) (continuous upper limit number of times controlled by ) is set to be conscious of winning a jackpot, and a jackpot controlled to a small win rush state (high probability non-time-saving state) after a jackpot game, etc. It can be.

In the above form, if the silver pattern reach production (symbol destruction production, mini character production) develops into the awakening development production (advantageous development production), winning to the advantageous winning (10R short time small winning C) is not confirmed. None (see FIG. 55(A)). However, when the unfavorable ready-to-win effect (silver pattern ready-to-win effect) develops into the advantageous development effect (awakening development effect), the winning of the advantageous win (10R short time small win C) may be determined. In this case, in the first advantageous development production that develops from the first disadvantageous reach production (symbol destruction production), the winning of the advantageous hit (10R short time small hit C) is not confirmed, but the second disadvantageous reach production In the second advantageous development effect developed from (mini character effect), the winning of the advantageous win (10R time-saving small win C) may be determined.

In the above mode, both the pattern destruction effect (first unfavorable reach effect) and the mini-character effect (second disadvantageous reach effect) can develop into an awakening development effect (advantageous development effect) (Fig. 42). However, while the first disadvantageous reach production (symbol destruction production) does not develop into an advantageous development production (awakening development production), the second disadvantageous reach production (mini character production) develops into an advantageous development production (awakening development production). You can make it happen.

In the above mode, the symbol destruction effect is executed as the first disadvantageous reach effect, and the mini character effect is executed as the second disadvantageous reach effect. However, the first disadvantageous reach production is not limited to the pattern destruction production, and if it makes you aware of the winning of the disadvantageous hit (10R normal small win) rather than the advantageous win (10R short time small win C), as appropriate It can be changed, for example, it may be a battle effect or a mini character effect. In addition, the second unfavorable reach effect is not limited to a mini character effect, and if it makes you aware of winning a disadvantageous win (10R normal small win) rather than an advantageous win (10R short time small win C), change it as appropriate. It is possible, and for example, it may be a battle presentation or a story presentation.

In the above-described mode, there are two types of disadvantageous ready-to-win effects that may develop into advantageous developmental effects: first disadvantageous reach-to-win effects (symbol destruction effects) and second disadvantageous reach-to-win effects (mini-character effects). However, a third disadvantageous reach effect may be provided. In this case, for example, when the third unfavorable ready-to-win production develops into an advantageous development production (awakening development production), the winning of an advantageous win (10R time-saving small win C) may be determined.

In the above form, it is set so that it is easier to develop from the mini character production (second unfavorable reach production) to the awakening development production than from the pattern destruction production (first unfavorable reach production) to the awakening development production (advantageous development production). (See FIG. 55(A)). And, when it develops from a mini character production to an awakening development production than when it develops from a pattern destruction production to an awakening development production, winning is notified to the 10R short time small hit C (advantageous win) (confirmed display per gold pattern) 55(A)). However, it is easier to develop from the second disadvantageous reach production (mini character production) than from the first disadvantageous reach production (symbol destruction production) to the advantageous development production (awakening development production), but the first disadvantageous reach If it develops from the production (symbol destruction production) to the advantageous development production (awakening development production), it is more advantageous than the case that it develops from the second unfavorable reach production (mini character development production) to the advantageous development production. Winning C) may be notified easily (gold symbol win confirmation display).

In the above form, when the pattern destruction effect (first unfavorable reach effect) is executed, the possibility of winning the 10R normal small hit (disadvantage hit) is the mini character effect (second disadvantageous reach effect). It was set so as to be higher than the possibility of winning the 10R normal small hit when it was set (see FIG. 55(A)). However, the possibility of winning a disadvantageous hit when the second disadvantageous reach effect (mini character effect) is executed is a disadvantageous win when the first disadvantageous reach effect (symbol destruction effect) is executed. You may set it so that it is higher than the possibility that it is. Alternatively, there is a possibility that a disadvantageous hit is won when the first disadvantageous reach effect (symbol destruction effect) is executed, and a disadvantageous win is won when the second disadvantageous reach effect (mini character effect) is executed. It may be set so that the possibility that there is

In the above form, after the temporary display of the silver pattern was made (after the suggestion of winning the disadvantage), the production from the promotion suggestion production to the final display of the gold pattern was the promotion production (Fig. 44 and FIG. 48). However, the promotion production is not limited to the production described above, and after the winning to the disadvantageous winning (10R normal small winning) is suggested, if it suggests winning to the advantageous winning (10R short time small winning C), It can be changed as appropriate. Therefore, for example, after the silver symbol win is provisionally displayed, the decoration movable body 15 (board movable body, frame movable body) may be moved to perform a gold symbol win definite display.

In the above form, the temporary display of the silver symbol is less likely to be executed when the mini character effect (second unfavorable reach effect) is executed than when the symbol destruction effect (first unfavorable reach effect) is executed. (see FIG. 55(A)). In other words, the mini-character effect is made to make it more difficult to suggest that the 10R normal small win is won by the silver symbol win temporary display than the symbol destruction effect. However, the temporary display of winning silver symbols is more likely to be executed when the mini character effect (second unfavorable reach effect) is executed than when the symbol destruction effect (first unfavorable reach effect) is executed. Also good. Alternatively, in the symbol destruction effect (first unfavorable ready-to-reach effect) and the mini-character effect (second disadvantageous ready-to-reach effect), the silver symbol winning provisional display may be executed at the same frequency (effect expectation).

In the above mode, after the pattern destruction effect (first unfavorable reach effect) is performed and the temporary display of the silver symbol (see FIG. 44(A)) is performed, the promotion suggestion effect (see FIG. 44(B)) is always executed. was done. However, even if the winning silver symbol is provisionally displayed through the symbol destruction effect (first unfavorable ready-to-win effect), the winning silver symbol may be determined and displayed without necessarily executing the promotion suggesting effect. . Similarly, in the above mode, after the mini character production (second unfavorable reach production) and the temporary display of the winning silver symbol (see FIG. 48(A)), the promotion suggestion production (see FIG. 48(B)) is performed. definitely executed. However, even if the winning silver symbol is temporarily displayed through the mini-character performance (second unfavorable ready-to-win performance), the positive silver symbol winning performance may be displayed afterward without necessarily executing the promotion suggesting performance. Also, in the above case, the case where the silver symbol is temporarily displayed after the mini character effect (second unfavorable reach effect) is performed rather than the case where the silver symbol is temporarily displayed after the symbol destruction effect (first unfavorable reach effect). In this case, the promotion suggesting effect (promoting promotion effect) may be executed more easily. In this way, even if the silver symbols are temporarily displayed in the mini-character production, the player is likely to have expectations that the promotion suggesting production (promotion-inciting production) may still be executed, and the mini-character production. It is possible to enhance the game interest in (second unfavorable reach effect).

In the above-described form, in the special figure 2 variation production, the variation display of the production symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R is always executed a plurality of times (two or more times). However, in the variable performance executed during the variable display of the first special symbol, the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R may be executed a plurality of times (two or more times).

In the above form, the upper limit number of special figure 2 reserved balls was one. However, the upper limit number of the special figure 2 reserved balls may be two or more, and can be changed as appropriate. In addition, when the upper limit number of the special figure 2 reserved balls is 2 or more, in the special figure 2 variation performance for each of the second special figure reservations, the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R is executed multiple times. It is good to do so. As a result, it is possible to continuously perform the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R for a longer period of time without interruption.

In the above embodiment, when the game ball enters the second starting port 21 (electric chew 22) in which the ease of entry of the game ball can be changed, the second starting port 21 (specific ball entrance) In the variable performance based on the entering ball (special figure 2 variable performance), the variable display of the performance symbols 8L, 8C, 8R was always executed multiple times (two times or more). However, when a game ball enters a specific ball entrance (for example, the third start hole) in which the ease of entry of a game ball cannot be changed, in the variable performance based on the ball entering the specific ball entrance , the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R may be displayed a plurality of times (twice or more) without fail.

In the above form, in the lottery of the special figure 2, it was not determined to be a loss, and it was either an election to a big hit or an election to a small hit (see FIG. 8 (A)). However, in the lottery of special figure 2, it may be determined that there is a loss.

In the above form, in the special figure 2 variable production, after the pattern destruction production (first specific production) is completed, before the second enemy character battle production (second specific production) shown in FIG. 52 (F) is started In addition, as shown in FIGS. 52(B) to (D), the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R may be displayed multiple times. However, the first specific effect and the second specific effect are not limited to the symbol destruction effect and the second enemy character battle effect, and can be changed as appropriate. In other words, the first specific effect and the second specific effect are any of the silver symbol reach effect (symbol destruction effect, mini character effect) and the gold symbol reach effect (first enemy character battle effect, second enemy character battle effect). It may be a performance of Therefore, for example, the first specific effect and the second specific effect may be the same effect (for example, symbol destruction effect and symbol destruction effect).

In the above-described form, in the special figure 2 variable effect, the first specific effect before the variable display of the effect patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed multiple times is a symbol destruction effect that is a ready-to-win effect, and the effect patterns 8L, 8C, The second specific effect after the 8R variable display was performed a plurality of times was the second enemy character battle effect, which is a ready-to-reach effect. However, the first specific effect and the second specific effect are not limited to the ready-to-win effect. The effect pattern (for example, the second background image) when the variable display of the effect patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed multiple times between the two is different from the effect pattern (for example, the third background image) of the second specific effect. can be changed as appropriate. Therefore, for example, in the first specific effect and the second specific effect, after the production patterns 8L, 8C, and 8R start the variable display, the ready-to-win state is not changed, and the unsatisfactory state (unraveled eyes) is changed. It may be a performance). Further, the first specific effect or the second specific effect is a story effect (pre-reach effect) in which the story develops without entering the ready-to-win mode after the effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R start the variable display. can be Note that one of the first specific effect and the second specific effect may be the ready-to-win effect and the other may be the pre-reach effect.

In the above form, in the special figure 2 variable presentation, the pattern destruction presentation, promotion suggestion presentation, awakening development presentation, mini character presentation, first enemy character battle presentation, and second enemy character battle presentation can be executed. However, in the variable performance (special figure 1 variable performance) executed during the variable display of the first special symbol, the symbol destruction performance, promotion suggestion performance, awakening development performance, mini character performance, first enemy character battle performance, and second enemy A character battle presentation may be executed. In addition, pattern destruction production, promotion suggestion production, awakening development production, mini character production, first enemy character battle production, and second enemy character battle production are specific game states (for example, normal game state, high probability state and time saving state, normal Probability state and non-time saving state, high probability state and non-time saving state) may be executed.

In addition, in the above form, there are two types of unfavorable reach effects, silver symbol reach effects (symbol destruction effects, mini character effects), and advantageous reach effects, gold symbol reach effects (first enemy character battle effect, second enemy character battle effect). There were two types of character battle production). However, the types of the disadvantageous reach effect are not limited to two types and can be changed as appropriate, and the types of the advantageous reach effect are not limited to two types and can be changed as appropriate. Therefore, the number of types of disadvantageous ready-to-win effects may be one, or three or more. Also, the number of types of advantageous reach effects may be one, or three or more.

Further, in the above-described form, when a small win is won in the winning judgment (S1002) based on the ball entering the second starting hole 21, the game ball that has won the second big winning hole 35 is specified regardless of the winning timing. The release pattern is set so as to pass through the area 39 (see FIGS. 34(b) and (c)), but depending on the winning timing of the game ball that has entered the second big winning hole 35, it may not pass through the specific area 39. You may set the opening pattern which can exist. That is, even if a small hit is won in the lottery of the special figure 2, there may be a case where the V prize cannot be won (a case where the second kind of jackpot cannot be obtained).

In the above embodiment, the high base state is terminated when the special symbol variable display is executed 99 times. The number of executions) can be arbitrarily changed, and may be, for example, once.

In the above-described form, the game machine is not controlled to a high probability state in which the lottery of special symbols is more likely to win a big win than the normal probability state. However, the game machine may be controlled to a high-probability state. In this case, it may be configured as a gaming machine (a so-called V probability machine) that controls to a high probability state based on passing through the specific area 39 into the second big winning hole 35 . Alternatively, the game machine may be configured as a game machine in which the transition to the high probability state is determined only by the type of the winning jackpot (jackpot pattern), or the transition to the high probability state is determined based on the type of winning jackpot and the game state at the time of winning. It may be configured as a gaming machine in which transition is determined.

In the above embodiment, it is configured as a so-called 1 type 2 type mixing machine, but it may be configured as a 1 type gaming machine in which a jackpot game is executed only when a special symbol lottery is determined to be a jackpot, or a 2 types type. It may be configured as a game machine (feather type game machine). Also, the game machine may be configured as another type of game machine, such as a falling machine that falls from the high probability state to the normal probability state by lottery.

In the above embodiment, the game machine is configured as a game machine that may win a small win in the lottery of special symbols, but may be configured as a game machine that does not win a small win.

It should be noted that the effect expectation level for each ready-to-win effect shown in FIG. 55 is merely an example, and each effect expectation level can be changed as appropriate within the range in which the effects of the present invention are exhibited.

11. Inventions Shown in the Above-described Embodiments The above-described embodiments show inventions of the following means. In the description of the means described below, the corresponding structural names and expressions in the above-described embodiments and the reference numerals used in the drawings are added in parentheses for reference. However, the constituent elements of each invention are not limited to this appendix.

<Means A>
The invention according to means A1 is
A game control means (game control microcomputer 81) for executing a special game (big hit game, small hit game) when it is determined to be a hit (big hit, small hit) in the hit determination process (jackpot determination process);
A production control means (production control microcomputer 91) capable of executing a variable production with variable display of production patterns (8L, 8C, 8R),
In a game machine (pachinko game machine 1) in which the effect control means may display the effect pattern in a reach mode during execution of the variable effect,
The types of wins include an advantageous win (10R time-saving small win C) and a disadvantageous win (10R normal small win) that is more disadvantageous to the player than the advantageous win,
The reach mode includes an advantageous reach mode (reach mode of gold production patterns 8c and 8g) that makes the player aware of winning the advantageous win rather than winning the disadvantageous win, and the disadvantageous win rather than winning the advantageous win. This game machine is characterized by having a disadvantageous reach mode (a reach mode of silver performance patterns 8a, 8b, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8h and 8i) that makes the player aware of winning.

According to the game machine having this configuration, when the performance symbols are displayed in the ready-to-win mode, the ready-to-win mode includes an advantageous ready-to-reach mode that makes one aware of winning an advantageous win and a disadvantageous reach that makes one aware of winning a disadvantageous win. There are aspects and. Therefore, to provide a novel game interest by allowing a player to clearly recognize whether he or she is winning an advantageous win or a disadvantage win from the point of time when the performance pattern is displayed in a ready-to-win mode. is possible.

The invention according to means A2 is
In the gaming machine according to means A1,
The production control means is
When the production pattern is displayed in the unfavorable reach mode, a negative production that denies the unfavorable reach mode of the production pattern (silver pattern reach display) to the winning mode of the production pattern (jackpot mode (double)). (In the symbol destruction effect, an effect (see FIG. 43 (C-2) and FIG. 43 (C-3)) may be executed in which the effect symbol 8Cd indicating “4” changes to a cut effect symbol 8Cdx. It is a gaming machine characterized by

According to the gaming machine of this configuration, when the performance symbols are displayed in a disadvantageous reach mode, the player is disappointed thinking that he or she may win a disadvantageous win. However, even in this case, a negative effect may be executed to deny the unfavorable reach mode of the performance symbols to the hit mode of the performance symbols. Therefore, this denial effect makes the player recognize that the situation of winning with a disadvantage is avoided, and it is possible to provide the game interest with a sense of relief.

The invention according to means A3 is
In the gaming machine according to means A2,
In the negative effect,
The display in the unfavorable reach mode of the production pattern (silver design ready-to-reach display) changes to the display in the advantageous reach mode of the production pattern. (A production from when the awakening character pattern is displayed to the awakening development production shown in FIG. 46A);
The display of the production pattern in the unfavorable ready-to-win mode (silver pattern ready-to-win display) changes to the display of the production pattern in the losing mode (the remaining money shown in FIG. 43 (C-2) in the symbol destruction effect The gaming machine is characterized in that there is an effect from the pattern display to the reach-loss temporary display shown in FIG. 45(A).

According to the gaming machine with this configuration, when the first negative effect is executed, the situation where the player is highly likely to win a disadvantageous win changes to a situation where the possibility of winning an advantageous win is high. Knowing that, you will feel a sense of exhilaration. Further, when the second negative effect is executed, the player recognizes that the game is lost, and aims to win an advantageous win in the next and subsequent win determinations. In this way, it is possible to provide a novel game interest by having variations in negative effects.

The invention according to means A4 is
In the gaming machine according to means A2 or means A3,
The game control means is
When the advantageous hit (10R time saving small hit C) is won, after the special game (2 types of jackpot game), control to the advantageous game state (time saving state),
When the disadvantageous win (10R normal small win) is won, a disadvantageous game state (normal game state, non-time saving state) that is more disadvantageous to the player than the advantageous game state after the special game (2 types of jackpot game) It is a game machine characterized by controlling to

According to the gaming machine of this configuration, when the advantageous winning is won, the advantageous game state is controlled after the special game, while when the disadvantageous winning is won, the special game is controlled to the unfavorable game state. be. Therefore, when the performance symbols are displayed in a disadvantageous ready-to-reach mode, the player is greatly disappointed thinking that he/she will be controlled to a disadvantageous game state by winning a disadvantageous win. Therefore, when the negative effect is executed in this case, it is possible to make the player recognize that the situation in which there is a high possibility of being controlled to a disadvantageous game state is avoided, and to give a great sense of relief. .

By the way, in the gaming machine described in JP-A-2010-099312, when it is determined that the probability variable jackpot (advantageous hit) is determined by the hit determination process, after the jackpot game is executed, it is controlled to a high probability state. . In addition, when the performance pattern is displayed in the ready-to-win mode during the execution of the variable performance, the ready-to-win mode may become the variable-to-win mode (advantageous to-win mode) that makes the players aware of winning the variable-to-win jackpot. Here, in the gaming machine described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-099312, the ready-to-win state of the performance symbols becomes an advantageous ready-to-win state, so that the player can feel an exhilaration.
