First, before explaining the flow of the game, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment will be explained. The gaming states of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment include a low probability non-time-saving gaming state, a low-probability time-saving gaming state, a high-probability time-saving gaming state, a jackpot gaming state, and a small winning gaming state. Note that the state in which the player is not playing the game is referred to as the "waiting for customer state."

Low probability non-time saving gaming state (hereinafter referred to as "h") means that the jackpot probability of the special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "jackpot probability") is the normal probability (low probability state), and the probability of winning the normal symbol (hereinafter referred to as "jackpot probability") is the normal probability (low probability state). This is a gaming state in which the normal probability (referred to as "probability of winning a normal symbol") is the normal probability, and the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol is the normal time. The normal state is a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player.

Low-probability time-saving gaming state (hereinafter referred to as "low-probability time-saving state") means that the jackpot probability is the normal probability (low probability state), the probability of hitting the normal symbol is higher than the normal probability, and the average probability of the normal symbol is high. This is a gaming state in which the variable time is a shortened variable time (hereinafter referred to as a "time saving state") that is shorter than the normal variable time. The low-accuracy time-saving state ends when the state shifts to the jackpot state, or when the special symbol loss fluctuation display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). The low probability time saving state is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

A high-probability time-saving gaming state (specific gaming state) (hereinafter referred to as a "variable probability state") is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal probability (high-probability state), and the time-saving state is also achieved. The high-accuracy time-saving state ends when the state shifts to the jackpot state. The high-probability time-saving state is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the low-probability time-saving state. In addition, in the time saving state, the probability of winning a common symbol may not be made high.

A jackpot gaming state (hereinafter referred to as a "jackpot state") means that when a jackpot occurs, it becomes possible to enter the game ball into the first jackpot opening 10 by repeatedly opening and closing the opening/closing part, or , is a gaming state in which it is possible to win a game ball into the second grand prize opening 11 by repeating opening and closing of the opening/closing piece. Therefore, the jackpot state is a gaming state in which the player can acquire a large amount of game balls.

When a small win occurs, the game state shifts from the variable probability state or the low probability time saving state to the above-mentioned small win state, and when the small win state ends, the game state shifts to the gaming state before the shift to the small win state. Further, when the special symbol loss fluctuation display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) in the low accuracy time saving state, the gaming state shifts to the normal state.

[Summary of performances, etc. in pachinko gaming machine 1]
Next, an overview of the performance etc. in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be explained. It should be noted that in the pachinko gaming machine 1, many performances are performed, and here, a typical performance will be explained. First, the variable performance will be explained. The variable performance is a performance executed by the first display area 20a or the like in response to winning of a game ball to the starting port (first starting port 6, second starting port 7).

The fluctuation performance starts the fluctuation of the performance pattern 21LCR in synchronization with the start of fluctuation by the special figure display (special figure 1 display 4a, special figure 2 display 4b), and synchronizes with the stop of variation by the special figure display. The production pattern 21LCR is stopped at a combination of jackpot symbols, a combination of small winning symbols, or a combination of loss symbols. In addition, in this embodiment, the variable display by the special figure display and the variable effect by the 1st display area 20a etc. may be collectively called "variable display."

When the variable performance is started, the performance pattern 21LCR is scrolled from top to bottom. Note that the direction of the scroll display of the production pattern 21 LCR is not limited to this, and may be scrolled from left to right, or scrolled from the back to the front as seen from the player. Not limited to.

The variable effects include a loss variable effect, a jackpot variable effect, and a small win variable effect. The loss fluctuation performance is a temporary stop display (hereinafter referred to as "temporary stop") after the performance symbol 21 LCR that started the fluctuation performance is temporarily stopped (hereinafter referred to as "temporary stop") due to a combination of loss symbols (for example, a combination of "381", "244", etc.). (hereinafter referred to as "stop"). In addition, in the loss fluctuation performance, two of the performance symbols 21LCR that started the fluctuation performance (for example, the left performance symbol 21L and the right performance symbol 21R) are temporarily stopped at the same numerical symbol, and the reach display mode (for example, , "7↓7", "33↓", etc.), and after performing a reach effect, there are effects that temporarily stop at a losing symbol combination (for example, "767", "334", etc.) and then stop.

The jackpot fluctuation performance means that two of the performance symbols 21LCR that started the fluctuation performance (for example, the left performance symbol 21L and the right performance symbol 21R) are temporarily stopped at the same number symbol, and the reach display mode (for example, "7 ↓7'', ``33↓'', etc.), and after performing a reach effect, it is an effect that temporarily stops at a combination of jackpot symbols (for example, ``777'', ``333'', etc.), and then stops. In addition, in the case of a probability variable jackpot, the combination of the production symbols 21LCR stops at "777", and in the case of a probability variation jackpot or a normal jackpot, the combination of production symbols 21LCR stops at a combination other than "777" (for example, "000"). , "555", etc.).

In addition, in the jackpot variable performance, if the combination of the performance symbols 21LCR is temporarily stopped at a combination other than "777", a promotion performance may be executed to represent whether or not it is a probability variable jackpot. When notifying that it is a certain probability jackpot by promotion performance, the combination of performance symbols 21LCR stops at "777". Incidentally, the promotion effect may be executed even when the combination of the effect symbols 21LCR is temporarily stopped at "777". In addition, the promotion performance may not notify that it is a probability-variable jackpot, but may notify that it is a probability-variable jackpot (transition to a probability-variable state after the jackpot ends) in the jackpot production described later.

The small hit fluctuation performance is a performance in which the performance symbol 21LCR that started the variable performance temporarily stops at a combination of small winning symbols (for example, "234", "567", etc.) and then stops.

The reach performances include, for example, the normal reach performance and the SP reach performance, which has a higher jackpot expectation level (hereinafter also referred to as "jackpot reliability" or "jackpot probability") than the normal reach performance. Therefore, the reach performance is a performance that suggests the possibility of a jackpot. When performing the SP ready-to-reach performance, there are two patterns: a pattern in which the SP ready-to-reach performance is performed after the normal reach-in performance, and a pattern in which the SP ready-to-reach performance is performed without performing the normal reach performance.

In the fluctuating performance, an auxiliary performance may be performed to heighten (improve) the player's expectation of a jackpot, or an auxiliary performance to heighten the expectation of a jackpot with variable probability. This incidental performance includes a fluctuating performance (notice) that foretells (suggests) the possibility of a jackpot (jackpot expectation, jackpot reliability) and the possibility that a reach performance will be executed (reach expectation, reach reliability). There are directing, suggestive directing). In addition, for the incidental production, reference is made to the judgment information related to the fluctuation display before execution (hereinafter referred to as "pre-reading"), and the fluctuation display of the pre-read target (hereinafter referred to as "target fluctuation", "target fluctuation display", or " The possibility that the variable display of the pre-read target will be a jackpot (hereinafter referred to as "pre-variation", "pre-variation display", or "pre-variation display") before the start of the variable display (hereinafter referred to as "pre-variation display") There is a look-ahead performance (a look-ahead suggestion performance) that foretells (suggests) the likelihood that a reach performance will be executed (reach expectation level, reach confidence level). Note that the incidental performance may include a performance that lowers (decreases) the player's expectations. Further, as an incidental effect, a variable icon 24a corresponding to a variable effect may be displayed. Further, as an incidental performance, an explanatory performance in which an explanatory image of a game, a variable performance, etc. is displayed in the first display area 20a or the second display area 27a may be executed.

The customer waiting performance ends when the end condition is satisfied (a start-up winning occurs, the first performance operation section 31a or the cross key 37 is operated).

[Game control processing of game control board 100]
When the power switch of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on, power is supplied to the pachinko game machine 1, and the game control microcomputer 101 is activated. When the game control microcomputer 101 is activated, it executes game control processing. An example of game control processing of the game control board 100 (game control microcomputer 101) will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The game control process of the game control board 100 is composed of a main process and an interrupt process.

(main processing)
First, the main processing (S1000) will be explained. In the main processing, the CPU 101c first disables interrupts. Next, perform the initial settings. Initial settings include permission settings for access to the RAM 101b, settings for SIO, PIO, and CTC (controller for interrupt time management), and the like.

Next, it is determined whether a clear signal is input from the clear switch. If a clear signal is input, initialization processing is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 101c clears the gaming information etc. stored in the RAM 101b (for example, the gaming state at the time of power outage (stopped power supply), special symbol 1 fluctuation display information, special symbol 1 reservation information, etc.), and initializes the game information. Set the value. Further, in accordance with the initialization process, an initialization command is output to the production control board 120 (production control microcomputer 121). When the production control microcomputer 121 receives the initialization command, it issues an initialization notification. Initialization notification is performed by displaying an initialization notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting up the initialization notification using the decorative lamp 32, and outputting initialization sound from the speaker 34.

If the clear signal is not input, the CPU 101c determines whether the game information etc. stored in the RAM 101b are normal. When determining that the gaming information etc. stored in the RAM 101b is normal, the CPU 101c executes a recovery process to restore the gaming state (gaming situation) at the time of power outage based on the gaming information etc. stored in the RAM 101b. Execute. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no normal game information etc. stored in the RAM 101b, initialization processing is executed. The CPU 101c outputs a recovery command to the production control board 120 (production control microcomputer 121) in accordance with the recovery process. When the performance control microcomputer 121 receives the recovery command, it restores the performance control state to the performance control state (performance control status) at the time of power outage. The production control microcomputer 121 notifies that restoration is in progress by displaying a restoration notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting up the restoration notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting a restoration sound from the speaker 34.

When the initialization process or the recovery process is finished, the CPU 101c outputs a production control command to the production control board 120 indicating that these are finished. Subsequently, the CPU 101c executes initial settings of the random number circuit, and then allows interrupts, so that the CPU 101c executes timer interrupt processing periodically (for example, every 4 ms).

(interrupt processing)
Next, the interrupt processing executed in the game control processing will be explained. When interrupt processing is started, the CPU 101c executes error processing (S1100). In the error processing, the CPU 101c checks whether an error has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and if an error has occurred, performs error notification processing.

Subsequently, input processing is executed (S1200). Input processing is performed using the first starting hole sensor 6a, the second starting hole sensor 7a, the gate sensor 8a, the first winning hole sensor 9d, the second winning hole sensor 9e, the first big winning hole sensor 10a, and the second big winning hole sensor. It is confirmed whether detection signals from each sensor 11a are being received. In addition, when it is confirmed that a detection signal from a sensor other than the gate sensor 8a is received, the payout process of the prize ball to the payout control board is executed.

Subsequently, random number update processing is executed (S1300). The random number update process updates the random values of various gaming random numbers used for gaming control by the gaming control microcomputer 101. The gaming random numbers include, for example, a jackpot random number, a jackpot type random number, a fluctuating pattern random number, a random number per regular symbol, a regular fluctuating pattern random number, and the like.

Subsequently, special figure processing (S1400) is executed. Special figure processing includes control of special figure 1 variation display and special figure 2 variation display, processing of special figure 1 reservation information and special figure 2 reservation information, control of jackpot state and small win state, normal state, probability change state, and low Performs precise time saving control, etc. Note that the details of the special figure processing will be described later using FIG. 4.

Subsequently, processing for ordinary figures is executed (S1500). When a detection signal from the gate sensor 8a is received in the above-mentioned input process, the ordinary figure processing includes control of the ordinary figure fluctuation display by the ordinary figure display 4f, and processing of ordinary figure pending information (normal figure randomization). Management of numerical values, display of general data reservation memory information, etc.). In addition, the process for ordinary figures performs opening/closing control of the opening/closing piece of the second starting port 7 depending on the occurrence of ordinary figures.

Subsequently, information output processing is executed (S1600). The information output process outputs game information such as starting information and jackpot information to the outside of the pachinko game machine 1 from the external information output terminal board.

Subsequently, command output processing is executed (S1700). The command output process includes a process of outputting a production control command stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 121b to the production control board 120, and a process of outputting a payout control command stored in the payout control command storage area to the payout control board. Performs output processing for various commands such as. After command output processing is completed, interrupt processing is ended.

(Special figure processing)
Next, an example of the special symbol processing executed in the interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. 4. When the special figure process is started, the CPU 101c executes the winning process (S1410). The winning process is performed by receiving a detection signal from the first starting port sensor 6a (hereinafter referred to as "special map 1 starting winning") or receiving a detection signal from the second starting port sensor 7a in the input process (S1200) described above. (hereinafter referred to as "Special Figure 2 Start Winning") is confirmed, and the reception of the detection signal from the first winning hole sensor 9d and the second winning hole sensor 9e is confirmed. It consists of a general winning process that is executed when the event occurs, and a grand winning process that is executed when the reception of a detection signal from the first grand winning opening 10 or the second grand winning opening 11 is confirmed.

In the starting winning process, when the first starting winning is confirmed, the judgment information (jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuation pattern random number, etc.) is acquired, and the special drawing 1 pending information is stored in the RAM 101b as special drawing 1 pending information. It is stored in the currently highest free area among the information storage areas (first to fourth areas). In addition, when the second starting winning is confirmed, the judgment information (jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuation pattern random number, etc.) is acquired and is stored in the special drawing 2 pending information storage area of the RAM 101b as special drawing 2 pending information. It is stored in the currently highest free area among (1st to 4th areas). Next, read in advance the special drawing 1 pending information or special drawing 2 pending information (check the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display scheduled to be executed from the jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuation pattern random number, etc.) and determine the start winning time ( A look-ahead judgment) is performed. Next, based on information indicating whether it is a special drawing 1 starting prize or a special drawing 2 starting winning, the number of reserved memories, pre-reading judgment information (information about jackpot judgment results, information about fluctuating patterns (pre-reading pattern information)), etc. A starting winning command (a first starting winning command, a second starting winning command) is generated as a presentation control command, and is stored in the presentation control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The first starting winning command and the second starting winning command stored in the production control command storage area are output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700).

In the general winning process, when the reception of the detection signal from the first winning hole sensor 9d is confirmed, a first winning command is generated as a production control command, and is stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 101b. Moreover, when reception of the detection signal from the second winning a prize opening sensor 9e is confirmed, a second winning command is generated as a production control command and stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The first winning command and the second winning command stored in the performance control command storage area are output to the performance control board 120 by the above-described command output processing (S1700).

In the big winning process, when the reception of the detection signal from the first big winning opening sensor 10a is confirmed, a first big winning command is generated as a production control command, and is stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 101b. Further, when the reception of the detection signal from the second big winning opening sensor 11a is confirmed, a second big winning command is generated as a production control command and stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The first big winning command and the second big winning command stored in the production control command storage area are output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output processing (S1700).

Subsequently, special figure execution data processing is executed (S1420). In the special figure execution data processing, the current value of the special figure execution data is confirmed, and the process is shifted to a process corresponding to the value of the confirmed special figure execution data. When the value of the special figure execution data is 0, it is made to move to special figure fluctuation preprocessing (S1430). Moreover, when the value of the special figure execution data is 1, it is made to move to special figure fluctuation processing (S1440). Moreover, when the value of the special figure execution data is 2, it is made to move to special figure fluctuation stop processing (S1450). Moreover, when the value of the special figure execution data is 3, it is made to shift to jackpot processing (S1460). Moreover, when the value of the special figure execution data is 4, it is made to move to jackpot end processing (S1470). Moreover, when the value of the special figure execution data is 5, it is made to move to small hit processing (S1480).

When the value of the special figure execution data is 0, special figure fluctuation preprocessing is executed (S1430). The special figure variation pre-processing is a process executed before the start of the special figure variation display. The special figure variation preprocessing first determines whether to execute the special figure 1 variation display based on the special figure 1 reservation 1 information or to execute the special figure 2 variation display based on the special figure 2 reservation 2 information. I do.

When it is determined that the special figure 1 variable display is to be executed, the special figure 1 pending 1 information stored in the special figure 1 pending information storage area is shifted to the variable display information storage area of the RAM 101b and stored as special figure 1 variable display information. . Also, subtract 1 from the number of reserved memories for special figure 1. Next, based on the gaming state (normal state, variable probability state, low probability time saving state) and special figure 1 fluctuation display information (jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuating pattern random number, etc.), jackpot judgment and jackpot type are performed. Judgment and when the special figure 1 fluctuation display stops displaying, the LED to be displayed on the special figure 1 display 4a is set as a jackpot lighting pattern (hereinafter also referred to as "jackpot stop symbol") or a small hit lighting pattern (hereinafter "small hit"). Lighting pattern determination (hereinafter referred to as "stop symbol") to determine which lighting pattern (hereinafter also referred to as "stop symbol") is to be used. (referred to as "stop symbol determination"). In addition, based on the jackpot determination result, jackpot type determination result, fluctuation pattern random value, and current gaming state (normal state, variable probability state, low probability time saving state), the variation pattern of special drawing 1 variation display (variable time ) to determine. In addition, even when it is determined that the special figure 2 variable display is to be executed, the same processing as in the case where it is determined that the special figure 1 variable display is to be executed is performed (the special figure 1 display 4a is replaced with the special figure 2 display 4b, Also, subtract 1 from the number of reserved memories for special drawing 2).

Next, a variation start command is generated as an effect control command based on the game state, information indicating whether it is special figure 1 or special figure 2, jackpot determination result, jackpot type determination result, variation pattern information, etc., and the effect is stored in the RAM 101b. Store in the control command storage area. Subsequently, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 1. The variation start command stored in the performance control command storage area is output to the performance control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700).

When the value of the special figure execution data is 1, special figure variation processing is executed (S1440). The special figure variation process first performs a process of starting variable display on the special figure 1 display 4a and the special figure 2 display 4b. Next, a process is performed to measure the elapsed time of the started fluctuation display based on the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern. If the measured elapsed time matches the variable time, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 2.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 2, special figure fluctuation stop processing is executed (S1450). The special figure fluctuation stop processing performs a process of causing the LED lighting pattern to be stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display 4a and the special figure 2 display 4b to be stopped and displayed in the lighting pattern determined by the lighting pattern determination. In addition, the special figure fluctuation stop processing generates a fluctuation stop command as a performance control command indicating the stop of the fluctuation display, and stores it in the performance control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The fluctuation stop command stored in the production control command storage area is output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700). Then, if you want to stop and display the lighting pattern of a jackpot, update the value of the special pattern execution data to 3, and if you want to stop and display the lighting pattern of a small win, update the value of the special pattern execution data to 5, and light up the loss pattern. When stopping and displaying a pattern, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0.

Moreover, the special figure fluctuation stop process performs a process of counting the number of times of fluctuation display (hereinafter referred to as "number of fluctuations") executed between each jackpot. This process adds 1 to the number of fluctuations when the loss fluctuation display ends, and clears the fluctuation number when the jackpot fluctuation display ends. Further, when the number of fluctuations counted in the low accuracy time saving state reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times), the gaming state is shifted to the normal state.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 3, jackpot processing is executed (S1460). The jackpot process is comprised of a jackpot start process and a jackpot middle process.

In the jackpot start process, first, the contents of the jackpot control to be executed based on the jackpot type, etc. (type of jackpot, jackpot opening time, maximum number of rounds, opening/closing pattern of the jackpot in each round, interval time between each round) , ending time, etc.). Subsequently, a jackpot start command is generated as an effect control command indicating the jackpot type, opening time, etc., and is stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The jackpot start command stored in the production control command storage area is output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700). Then, the opening elapsed time is measured, and if the measured opening elapsed time coincides with the opening time, the process shifts to jackpot processing.

During the jackpot process, the first big winning hole 10 and the second big winning hole 11 are opened and closed based on the type of big winning hole, the number of rounds, the opening/closing pattern of the big winning hole in each round, the interval time between each round, etc. Control. When starting a new round, a round start command is generated as an effect control command indicating the type of big prize opening, the number of rounds to be started, etc., and is stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The round start command stored in the performance control command storage area is output to the performance control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

When the end conditions for each round are met (for example, when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number or when the opening end time has arrived), the round is executed as an effect control command indicating the type of big prize opening, the number of rounds to end, etc. A termination command is generated and stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The round end command stored in the production control command storage area is output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700). Then, when the final round ends, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 4.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 4, jackpot end processing is executed (S1470). In the jackpot end process, first, a jackpot end command is generated as an effect control command indicating an ending time, etc., and is stored in the effect control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The jackpot end command stored in the production control command storage area is output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700). Next, measure the ending elapsed time. Then, when the measured ending elapsed time matches the ending time, the gaming state (probability variable state, low probability time saving state) to which the game state is to be transferred after the end of the jackpot is determined. Here, when the jackpot type is a variable probability jackpot, it is decided to shift the gaming state to a variable probability state, and when the jackpot type is a normal jackpot, it is decided to shift the gaming state to a low probability time saving state. At this time, the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0.

When the value of the special figure execution data is 5, a small winning process is executed (S1480). The small win process determines the contents of the small win (opening/closing pattern of the large prize opening, etc.) based on the jackpot type (here, whether it is the first small win or the second small win), and A small hit command is generated as a performance control command indicating the type, etc., and is stored in the performance control command storage area of the RAM 101b. The small hit command stored in the production control command storage area is output to the production control board 120 by the above-described command output process (S1700).

In addition, in the small winning process, the opening and closing of the first big prize opening 10 is controlled according to the determined opening and closing pattern. Then, when the small winning end condition is met (for example, when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number or when the small winning end time comes), after updating the value of the special figure execution data to 0, Finish the process.

[Production control processing of production control board 120]
When the power switch of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on, power is supplied to the pachinko game machine 1, and the performance control microcomputer 121, display control section 122, decoration control section 123, and sound control section 124 are activated. When the production control microcomputer 121 is activated, production control processing is executed. An example of the production control process of the production control board 120 (microcomputer 121 for production control) will be described with reference to FIG. 5. The performance control process of the performance control board 120 is composed of a performance main process, a reception interrupt process, and a performance interrupt process.

(Main production process)
First, the effect main processing (S2000) will be explained. In the main performance processing, the CPU 121c first prohibits performance interruptions. Next, perform initial settings for the performance. The initial settings for the performance include settings for permission to access the RAM 121b, settings for SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time management controller), and the like.

Subsequently, the operation of the in-panel movable device 26 is confirmed by driving and controlling the in-panel movable device 26 from the first position to the second position, from the second position to the third position, and from the third position to the first position. Subsequently, the frame-side movable device 33 is drive-controlled from the fourth position to the fifth position, rotationally controlled at the fifth position, and drive-controlled from the fifth position to the fourth position to check the operation of the in-panel movable device 26. Subsequently, the air blower 35a is drive-controlled to check the operation of the air blower 35a, and the vibration device 36 is drive-controlled to check the operation of the vibration device 36. Subsequently, when an initialization command is received, initialization notification is performed by displaying an initialization notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting the initialization notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting an initialization sound by the speaker 34. Subsequently, when a restoration command has been received, the restoration notification is performed by displaying a restoration notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting the restoration notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting a restoration sound from the speaker 34. When receiving a production control command indicating completion of initialization or completion of restoration, initialization notification and restoration notification are terminated. Subsequently, the CPU 121c executes the initial setting of the random number circuit, and then confirms that the interrupt is enabled, so that the CPU 121c periodically (for example, every 2 ms) executes the production timer interrupt process.

The reception interrupt process (S2100) is a process that is executed separately from the performance timer interrupt process, and is a process that is executed with priority over the performance timer interrupt process. During reception interrupt processing, interrupts are disabled. The reception interrupt process determines whether the INT signal output from the game control board 100 is input to the external INT input section of the production control microcomputer 121 (ON/OFF). When the INT signal is input, the production control command output from the game control board 100 is received and stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 121b. Then, after storing it in the storage area for receiving the production control command, it is set to an interrupt permission state. In addition, the storage area for receiving production control commands includes the first starting winning command storage area (special drawing 1 reservation 1 starting winning command storage area to special drawing 1 holding 4 starting winning command storage area), the second starting winning command storage area ( Special figure 2 pending 1 start winning command storage area ~ Special figure 2 pending 4 starting winning command storage area), Special figure 1 pending icon number storage area, Special figure 2 pending icon number storage area, Variation start command storage area, Variation stop command It consists of a storage area, a jackpot command storage area (stores jackpot start commands, round start commands, round end commands, jackpot end commands), and the like.

(Interrupt processing for performance)
Next, the effect interruption process executed in the effect control process will be explained. When the production interruption process is started, the CPU 101c first executes production random number update processing (S2200). The performance random number update process updates the random values of various performance random numbers. Note that the random numbers for presentation include, for example, random numbers for variable presentation, random numbers for presentation symbols, random numbers for preview presentation, random numbers for pre-read presentation, and the like.

Subsequently, input processing for presentation is executed (S2300). In the production input processing, it is checked whether detection signals are received from the first operation section detection sensor 31c, the second operation section detection sensor 31d, and the other operation section detection sensor 37a.

Subsequently, command analysis processing is executed (S2400). The command analysis process analyzes the content of the production control command stored in the production control command storage area of the RAM 121b in the above-mentioned reception interrupt process (S2100). In the command analysis process, the production control command stored in the production control command storage area is read out, and control is executed according to the information included in the production control command. This control means, for example, that the memory area for special figure 1 reservation (storage area for special figure 1 reservation 1 (special figure 1 reservation 1) - special figure 1 reservation Storage area for special figure 1 reservation 4 (special figure 1 reserve 4)), storage area for special figure 2 reserve (storage area for special figure 2 reserve 1 (special figure 2 reserve 1) - storage area for special figure 2 reserve 4 (special figure 2 reserve 4) 2 pending 4)), processing for storing in a storage area for variable effects, a storage area for jackpot effects, etc., and various setting processes.

Subsequently, production processing is executed based on the content of the production control command analyzed in the command analysis process (S3000). Note that the details of the production processing will be described later using FIG. 6. After executing the production processing, the production interruption processing is ended.

(Processing for production)
Next, an example of the effect processing executed in the effect interruption process will be described with reference to FIG. 6. The production processing includes image display on the first display device 20 and second display device 27, drive of the panel movable device 26, frame side movable device 33, air blower 35a, and vibration device 36, sound output from the speaker 34, Executes various controls such as lighting various decorative lamps.

When the production processing is started, the CPU 121c executes production execution data processing (S3100). In the performance processing data processing, processing is executed to shift to a performance process corresponding to the type of performance control command. When receiving the first starting winning command or the second starting winning command, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 0 and the process proceeds to the starting winning effect processing (S3200). Further, when the variation start command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 1, and the process proceeds to the variation effect processing (S3300). Moreover, when the variation stop command is received, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 2, and the process proceeds to the variation effect stop process (S3400). Further, when receiving a jackpot start command, a round start command, or a round end command, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 3 and the process proceeds to the jackpot effect processing (S3500). Further, when receiving the jackpot end command, the value of the effect processing data is changed to 4 and the process is shifted to the jackpot end effect processing (S3600). In addition, when receiving a small winning command, a small winning medium 1st large winning command, or a small winning medium 2nd large winning command, the value of the performance processing data is changed to 5 and the process proceeds to the small winning performance processing (S3700). . Note that when receiving the first grand prize command, the second grand prize command, the first prize winning command, or the second prize winning command, the value of the production process data is not changed (the process moves to the production process that is being executed).

When the value of the performance processing data is 0, a starting winning performance process is executed (S3200). In the start-up winning performance process, based on the reception of the start-up winning command (first start-up winning command, second start-up winning command), the process of updating the number of special drawings 1 pending memory or the number of special drawings 2 pending memory, and the processing of updating the number of special drawings 1 The process of displaying the number of special drawings 1 pending with the 1 icon to the special 1 protection 4 icon, and the process of displaying the number of special drawings 2 holding with the special 2 protection 1 icon to the special 2 protection 4 icon.

In addition, in the start winning presentation process, the start winning command is prefetched based on the prefetching judgment information (information regarding the jackpot judgment result, prefetching pattern information) included in the newly received starting winning command and the prefetching judgment information included in the already received starting winning command. It is determined whether or not to perform the performance, and when it is determined to perform the pre-read performance, a process (hereinafter referred to as ``pre-read performance determination process'') for determining the performance contents (pre-read performance pattern) of the pre-read performance is performed. In the look-ahead performance determination process, in association with each start winning command, whether or not each look-ahead performance can be executed, the content of the look-ahead performance to be executed (look-ahead performance pattern), etc. are stored in the reserved memory of the RAM 121b as look-ahead performance pattern information in the performance control information. Store it in the area.

If there is a prefetch effect to be executed in the start winning effect process (a prefetch effect to be executed in response to the start winning effect) based on the prefetch effect pattern information, the display control unit 122, the decoration control unit 123, the sound control unit 124 The prefetch effect control is executed. When the start-up winning performance processing is completed, the value of the performance processing data is changed to the value before shifting to the start-up winning performance processing.

When the value of the effect processing data is 1, a variable effect process is executed (S3300). The fluctuating performance process includes a fluctuating performance start process and a fluctuating performance process. Further, the process during the variable performance also includes a temporary stop performance process. First, in the fluctuation production process, based on the reception of the fluctuation start command (including the game status, information indicating whether it is special drawing 1 or special drawing 2, jackpot determination result, jackpot type determination result, fluctuation pattern information, etc.) , execute the fluctuation start process. In this fluctuation start process, the performance contents of the fluctuating performance (fluctuating performance content, whether each fluctuating performance can be executed, the performance content of the fluctuating performance to be executed, The combination of the performance symbols 21LCR when the fluctuation performance temporarily stops or stops is determined, and stored in the storage area for fluctuation performance of the RAM 121b as the fluctuation performance pattern information in the performance control information.Subsequently, based on the fluctuation performance pattern information , the display control section 122, the decoration control section 123, and the sound control section 124 start a variable effect.

When the fluctuating performance is started, the process shifts to a process during the fluctuating performance. In the fluctuating performance processing, the display control unit 122, decoration control unit 123, and sound control unit 124 execute the performance until the fluctuating performance is temporarily stopped, based on the fluctuating performance pattern information. In addition, in the fluctuating performance start process and the fluctuating performance process, if there is a prefetch performance to be executed (a prefetch performance to be executed between the start of the fluctuating performance and the temporary stop) based on the prefetch performance pattern information, the display control unit 122 , the decoration control section 123, and the sound control section 124 execute pre-read effect control.

When the value of the performance processing data is 2, a variable performance stop process is executed (S3400). The variation effect stop process performs a stop effect to stop the variation effect that has been temporarily stopped by the display control unit 122, decoration control unit 123, and sound control unit 124 based on the reception of the variation stop command. In addition, in the variable production stop processing, if there is a pre-read production to be executed in the variable production stop processing (a pre-read production to be executed when stopping the variable production) based on the pre-read production pattern information stored as production control information, The display control unit 122, the decoration control unit 123, and the sound control unit 124 execute prefetch effect control. When the variable performance stop processing is completed, the system enters a state in which it waits for the reception of a performance control command (hereinafter referred to as "reception wait state").

When a predetermined time (for example, 60 seconds) has elapsed in the reception waiting state, a customer waiting performance pattern consisting of the type and content of the customer waiting performance is determined and stored in the RAM 121b as customer waiting performance pattern information in the performance control information. Then, the display control unit 122, decoration control unit 123, and sound control unit 124 execute the customer waiting performance based on the customer waiting performance pattern information.

Next, based on the round effect pattern information, the display control section 122, decoration control section 123, and sound control section 124 execute a round start effect. When the round start effect is started, the processing stage shifts to in-round effect processing. In the round performance process, the display control unit 122, decoration control unit 123, and sound control unit 124 execute the round performance based on the round performance pattern information.

Subsequently, based on the reception of the round end command, the process moves to round end effect processing.

[Modification 1]
Here, a modification of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment described so far will be described.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment has been exemplified as a gaming machine having a variable probability specification that may shift to a variable probability state after a jackpot depending on the type of jackpot symbol (jackpot type), but is not limited to this, and may include a variable probability specification. It may be a gaming machine that does not have any. Moreover, such a gaming machine may be a gaming machine having a time-saving specification that may shift to a low-probability time-saving state after a jackpot depending on the type of jackpot symbol (jackpot type). Furthermore, it may be a gaming machine called a "mixing machine of one kind and two kinds".

Further, the jackpot probability in the normal state (and/or variable probability state) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment may be changed. In this case, the game control board 100 is provided with a setting changeover switch that can be operated with a setting key, and by operating the setting changeover switch with the setting key, the set value of the jackpot probability can be changed. Note that the jackpot probability may be set in six stages (settings 1 to 6), or may be set in less than six stages (for example, settings 1 to 3, etc.).

The pachinko gaming machine 1 described above is an example of a "pachinko gaming machine" that has a function of dispensing game balls, but is not limited to this, and is a "pachinko gaming machine" that has a function of storing game balls as points without dispensing them. But that's fine.

In addition, there are "reel type gaming machines" or "slot machines" that allow games using medals and have a function to pay out medals, and games that allow games using medals and score points without paying out medals. ``Reel-type gaming machines'' or ``slot machines'' with specifications that have a function to store medals, and ``reel-type gaming machines'' with specifications that allow games to be played based on points and have a function to store medals as points without paying out medals. It is also possible to replace it with "machine" or "slot machine".

Further, in this embodiment, the pachinko game machine 1 is configured from a game board 2 and a game machine frame 3, but the pachinko game machine 1 is not limited to this. It may also be a game program. In such cases, gaming programs may be provided as software for computers, home game consoles, smartphones, etc., or as web applications that can be accessed and displayed and operated using a web browser. It is executed by game consoles, smartphones, etc. Further, it may be a server or the like loaded with a gaming program for executing the disclosed contents of this embodiment.

In addition, in FIG. 7, the fluctuation patterns P102, P105, P201, and P250 are all set to a fluctuation time of 8 seconds, but the fluctuation time of these fluctuation patterns may be set to be different for each fluctuation pattern, or some Only the fluctuation patterns may be set to be different. In addition, the fluctuation time of 2s with fluctuation patterns P100, P200, P205, the fluctuation time of 12s with fluctuation patterns P110, P115, P210, P215, the fluctuation time of 18s with fluctuation patterns P111, P116, the fluctuation time of 60s with fluctuation patterns P120, P160. Time, 70s variation time with variation patterns P121, P161, 70s variation time with variation patterns P121, P161, P220, P270, 90s variation time with variation patterns P130, P170, 100s variation time with variation patterns P131, P171, P230, P280 The same applies to the variation time of .

Furthermore, as described above, if the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern is set to be different for each fluctuation pattern, or only some of the fluctuation patterns are set to be different, all of the fluctuation patterns shown in FIGS. 8A to 9C The incidental performance execution timing or some of the incidental performance execution timings differ depending on each variation pattern (for example, in the variation patterns P120 and P160 in FIG. 8C(a), all the incidental production execution timings T51 to T64 are different, Alternatively, only T54, T56, and T60 may be different).

[Example of performance using pachinko machine 1]
Next, an example of performance by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10K. Note that there are many examples of performances by the pachinko game machine 1 in this embodiment other than those shown in FIGS. 10A to 10K, but here, an example of a characteristic performance in the pachinko game machine 1 in this embodiment will be explained. do. Note that in FIGS. 10A to 10K, the pending icons and variable icons that are to be rendered are indicated by thick frames as appropriate.

[Example 1 of production]
First, production example 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 10A. Production example 1 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production four variations before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 1 shows a case where a pending icon production and a variable icon production in the icon production are executed as pre-read production in the incidental production. In addition, in this performance example 1, it is assumed that the number of special figures 1 pending memory at the start of the variation performance 4 variations before the target variation is 3.

A feature of the performance in performance example 1 is that the display mode of the hold icon is changed without executing a performance that suggests changing the display mode of the hold icon.

First, the Toku 1 Toku 4 icon is displayed in "white" in response to the starting winning in the Toku 1 starting opening 6 during the execution of the advance variation performance (Normal reach 1 loss fluctuation performance) before the 4 fluctuation. Here, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 4 icon (hold 4).

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation performance (loss variation performance) three variations in advance, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 3 icon, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) two changes before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon. Subsequently, at the incidental performance execution time T22, the special 1 and 2 icons are changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed. At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the variable display corresponding to the special 1, 2, and 2 icons increase.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". In addition, the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the special 1 insurance 1 icon (pre-read target pending). Subsequently, at the incidental performance execution time T22, the special 1-ho 1 icon is changed from "blinking white" to "green" and displayed. At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the fluctuating display corresponding to the special 1 insurance 1 icon increase.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "green". Then, at the incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

Note that in production example 1, an example is shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance, an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as the first example of performance can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 1, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display.

[Example 2 of production]
Next, production example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 10B. Production example 2 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production four variations before the target variation to the target variation production. In addition, production example 2 shows a case where a pending icon production, a variable icon production, and a pending icon first additional production in the icon production are executed as pre-read production in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 2, the number of special symbols 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production 4 variations before the target variation is 3.

Here, the first additional rendering of the hold icon will be explained. In the first additional presentation of the pending icon, first, a presentation (change suggestion presentation) that hides (makes it difficult to see) the pending icon with one or more character images is executed. Subsequently, an effect (change effect) in which the character image moves away from the pending icon is performed. Then, the display mode of the hold icon is changed and displayed in accordance with the change effect. When the hold icon first additional effect is performed with one character image for one hold icon, the display mode of this hold icon is always changed. Further, when the first pending icon additional performance is performed for a plurality of pending icons using a plurality of character images, the display mode of any one special first pending icon among the plurality of pending icons is always changed.

The feature of the performance in example 2 is that after suggesting that the display mode of the special 1 insurance 1 icon be changed by executing the first additional rendering of the pending icon using the character image CA on the special 1 insurance 1 icon, This is to change the display mode of the 1-1 icon.

First, the Toku 1 Toku 4 icon is displayed in "white" in response to the starting winning in the Toku 1 starting opening 6 during the execution of the advance variation performance (Normal reach 1 loss fluctuation performance) before the 4 fluctuation. Here, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 4 icon (hold 4).

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation performance (loss variation performance) three variations in advance, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 3 icon, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) two changes before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Also, the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon. Subsequently, the hold icon first additional performance is executed from the additional performance execution time T21. In this hold icon first additional effect, a change suggestion effect is executed in which the character image CA1 is displayed and the special 1 hold 1 icon is hidden. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player understands that the display mode of the special 1 insurance 1 icon will be changed.

After executing the change suggestion effect, a change effect is executed in which the character image CA1 moves away from the special 1 pending 1 icon. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed. At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the fluctuating display corresponding to the special 1 insurance 1 icon increase.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation performance (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in production example 2, an example was shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance, an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as the performance example 2 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as the performance example 2, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the first additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 3 of production]
Next, production example 3 will be explained with reference to FIG. 10C. Production example 3 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production 4 times before the target variation to the target variation production. In addition, production example 3 shows a case where a pending icon production, a variable icon production, and a pending icon first additional production in the icon production are executed as pre-reading production in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 3, the number of special symbols 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production 4 variations before the target variation is 3.

The feature of the production in production example 3 is that the display mode of the special 1 and insurance 2 icons is changed by executing the first additional production of the reserved icon using a character image CB that is different from production example 2 on the special 1 and insurance 2 icons. After suggesting this, the display mode of the special 1 and 2 icons should be changed.

First, the Toku 1 Toku 4 icon is displayed in "white" in response to the starting winning in the Toku 1 starting opening 6 during the execution of the advance variation performance (Normal reach 1 loss fluctuation performance) before the 4 fluctuation. Here, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 4 icon (hold 4).

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation performance (loss variation performance) three variations in advance, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 3 icon, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) two changes before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the Toku 1 and Hou 3 icons are shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 and Hou 2 icons, and the Toku 1 and Hou 2 icons are shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 and Hou 1 icons.

Subsequently, the hold icon first additional performance is executed from the additional performance execution time T21. In this pending icon first additional effect, a change suggestion effect is executed in which the character image CB2 is displayed and the special 1 pending 2 icon is hidden. By executing this change suggestion effect, the player understands that the display mode of the special 1 insurance 1 icon will be changed.

After executing the change suggestion effect, a change effect is executed in which the character image CB2 moves away from the special 1 pending 2 icon. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the Tokoku 1 Hou 2 icon is changed from "white" to "green" and displayed. At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the variable display corresponding to the special 1, 2, and 2 icons increase.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Also, the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "green". Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in production example 3, an example was shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance, an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as the third example of performance can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 3, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the first additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 4 of production]
Next, production example 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 10D. Production example 4 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production 4 times before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 4 shows a case where a pending icon presentation, a variable icon presentation, and a pending icon first additional presentation in the icon presentation are executed as pre-read presentations in the incidental presentation. In addition, in this production example 4, the number of special symbols 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production 4 variations before the target variation is 3.

The feature of the production in this production example 4 is that by performing the first additional production of the reserved icon using the character image CD1 and character image CD2 on the special 1 insurance 1 icon and the special 1 insurance 2 icon, the special 1 insurance 1 icon or the special 1 insurance 1 icon or After suggesting that the display mode of any one of the Toku 1 Hou 2 icons should be changed, the display mode of the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is changed.

First, the Toku 1 Toku 4 icon is displayed in "white" in response to the starting winning in the Toku 1 starting opening 6 during the execution of the advance variation performance (Normal reach 1 loss fluctuation performance) before the 4 fluctuation. Here, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 4 icon (hold 4).

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation performance (loss variation performance) three variations in advance, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 3 icon, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) two changes before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, the hold icon first additional performance is executed from the additional performance execution time T21. In this reservation icon first additional effect, the character image CD1 is displayed and the special 1 reservation 1 icon is hidden, and the character image CD2 is displayed and the special 1 reservation 2 icon is hidden. A change suggestion effect suggesting that the display mode of one of the two icons is to be changed is executed. By executing this change suggestion performance, the player understands that the display mode of the pending icon of either the special 1 insurance 1 icon or the special 1 insurance 2 icon is changed.

After executing the change suggestion performance, a change performance is executed in which the character image CD1 moves away from the special 1 reservation 1 icon, and the character image CD2 moves away from the special 1 reservation 2 icon. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the special 1 and insurance 2 icons are changed from "white" to "green" and displayed, and the special 1 and insurance 1 icons are displayed as they are "white". At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the variable display corresponding to the special 1, 2, and 2 icons increase.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Also, the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "green". Then, at the incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in the production example 4, an example was shown in which the display mode of the Toku 1 and Hou 2 icons is changed by executing the hold icon first additional production. However, not only the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon, but the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon may also be changed.

Furthermore, in production example 4, an example was shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance, an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as the performance example 4 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 4, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the first additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 5 of production]
Next, production example 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 10E. Production example 5 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production three variations before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 5 shows a case where a pending icon production, a variable icon production, and a pending icon first additional production in the icon production are executed as pre-reading production in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 5, the number of special figure 1 reservations stored at the start of the variation production before 3 variations of the target variation is 3, and Y120 is used as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 reserve 3 icon (reservation 3). (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance scheduled to be executed) is stored.

The feature of the performance in this example 5 is that the first additional performance of the reserved icon using the character images CA1 to CA4 is executed on the special 1-ho 1 icon to the special 1-ho 3 icon (or the special 1-ho 4 icon). , after suggesting that the display mode of any one of these pending icons be changed, the display mode of the special 1 and 2 icons is changed.

First, the Toku 1 and Hou 4 icons are displayed in "white" in response to the starting winnings in the Toku 1 starting opening 6 during the execution of the advance variation performance before the 3 variations.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) two changes before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 3 icon, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, the hold icon first additional performance is executed from the additional performance execution time T21. In this hold icon first additional effect, by displaying the character images CA1 to CA4 and hiding the special 1 hold 1 icon to the special 1 hold 3 icon, any of the special 1 hold 1 icon to the special 1 hold 3 icon A change suggestion effect suggesting that one display mode is changed is executed. Incidentally, at this point, the character image CA4 is only presenting the Toku 1 Hou 4 icon as if it were hidden. However, in this state, if a new winning start occurs in the Toku 1 starting opening 6, the Toku 1 Toku 4 icon displayed at that time will be displayed in a state hidden by the character image CA4. By executing this change suggestion performance, the player can change the display mode of any of the pending icons from the Special 1 Insurance 1 icon to the Special 1 Insurance 3 icon (or the Special 1 Insurance 4 icon). I understand that.

After executing the change suggestion effect, a change effect is executed in which the character images CA1 to CA4 move away from each special 1 pending icon. Then, in accordance with the change performance, the special 1-ho 2 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and the special 1-ho 1 icon and the special 1-ho 3 icon are displayed as "white". At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the variable display corresponding to the special 1, 2, and 2 icons increase.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation performance (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Also, the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in the production example 5, an example was shown in which the display mode of the Toku 1 and Hou 2 icons is changed by executing the hold icon first additional production. However, the display mode is not limited to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, but the display mode of the special 1 insurance 1 icon or the special 1 insurance 3 icon may be changed.

Furthermore, in production example 5, an example was shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance or an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as the performance example 5 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 5, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the second additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 6 of production]
Next, production example 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 10F. Production example 6 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production two variations before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 6 shows a case where a pending icon production, a variable icon production, and a pending icon first additional production in the icon production are executed as pre-reading production in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 6, the number of special figure 1 reservations stored at the start of the variation production 2 changes before the target variation is 3, and Y120 is used as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 reserve 2 icon (reservation 2). (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance scheduled to be executed) is stored.

The feature of the performance in this production example 6 is that, unlike production example 5, the first additional production of the reserved icon by character image CA1, character image CB2, character image CC3, and character image CD4 is performed from special 1 protection 1 icon to special 1. After suggesting that the display mode of any one of these pending icons be changed by executing the command for the 3rd term insurance icon (or the 4th special 1st term icon), This is to change the display mode.

First, the Toku 1 and Hou 4 icons are displayed in "white" in response to the starting prize winning in the Toku 1 starting opening 6 during the execution of the advance variation performance before the 2 variation.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 4 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 3 icon, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, the hold icon first additional performance is executed from the additional performance execution time T21. In this hold icon first additional effect, character image CA1, character image CB2, character image CC3, and character image CD4 are displayed, and special 1 hold 1 icon to special 1 hold 3 icon are hidden. A change suggestion effect is executed to suggest that the display mode of any one of the icons to special 1 and 3 icons will be changed. Incidentally, at this point, the character image CD4 is merely presenting the special 1 and 4 icons as if they were hidden. However, in this state, if a new winning start occurs in the Toku 1 starting opening 6, the Toku 1 Toku 4 icon displayed at that time will be displayed in a state hidden by the character image CD4. By executing this change suggestion performance, the player can change the display mode of any of the pending icons from the Special 1 Insurance 1 icon to the Special 1 Insurance 3 icon (or the Special 1 Insurance 4 icon). I understand that.

After executing the change suggestion effect, a change effect is executed in which each of the character images CA1 to CD4 moves away from each special 1 pending icon. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the special 1-ho 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and the special 1-ho 2 icon and the special 1-ho 3 icon are displayed as "white". At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the fluctuating display corresponding to the special 1 insurance 1 icon increase.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation performance (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted to the special 1 insurance 1 icon. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in the production example 6, an example was shown in which the display mode of the special 1 insurance 1 icon is changed by executing the hold icon first additional production. However, the display mode is not limited to the special 1 insurance 1 icon, but the display mode of the special 1 insurance 2 icon or the special 1 insurance 3 icon may be changed.

Furthermore, in production example 6, an example is shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance, an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), it is possible to perform the same performance as the performance example 6. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 6, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the second additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 7 of production]
Next, production example 7 will be described with reference to FIG. 10G. Production example 7 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production three variations before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 7 shows a case where a pending icon production, a variable icon production, and a pending icon second additional production in the icon production are executed as pre-reading production in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 7, the number of special figures 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production 3 variations before the target variation is 3. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 3 icon (hold 3).

Here, the second additional rendering of the hold icon will be explained. In the hold icon second additional performance, a character image is first displayed above the display position of the special 1 insurance 1 icon, thereby performing a performance suggesting that the special 1 insurance 1 icon will be changed (change suggestion performance). Subsequently, when the special 1 hold icon that is the target of the performance is displayed as the special 1 health 1 icon, a performance (change performance) in which the special 1 health 1 icon is covered and then disappears is executed. Then, the display mode of the hold icon is changed and displayed in accordance with the change effect. The special 1 pending icon that is the target of the performance is any one of the special 1 insurance 1 icon to the special 1 insurance 3 icon. Further, the change suggestion performance is continuously executed (displayed) until the special 1 hold icon that is the target of the performance is displayed as the special 1 protection 1 icon. When the second pending icon additional effect is executed, the display mode of any one of the special 1 pending icons displayed at this point is always changed.

The difference from the above-mentioned first suspended icon additional performance is that in the first suspended icon additional performance, one or more suspended icons hidden by the character image in the change suggestion performance are the execution targets of the subsequent change performance. (the display mode is changed), whereas in the second hold icon additional effect, the hold icon at the time the change suggestion effect started (Special 1 Ho 1 icon) and the hold icons after this hold icon are changed. , is the point that is the target of execution of the change effect.

The feature of the performance in production example 7 is that when the Toku 1 Ho 3 icon that is the target of the performance is shifted and displayed as the Toku 1 Ho 1 icon by executing the hold icon 2nd additional effect, the Toku 1 Ho 1 icon This is to change the display mode.

First, the pending icon second additional performance is executed from the additional performance execution timing T22 during the execution of the advance variation performance (loss variation performance) three fluctuations ago. When execution of the second hold icon additional effect is started, a ring image RA appears above the special 1 insurance 1 icon that is displayed as "white", and then the ring image RA rotates above the special 1 insurance 1 icon. A change suggestion effect is executed by displaying an image to be changed. By executing this change suggestion performance, the player understands that the display mode of any one of the reserved icons among the special 1 insurance 1 icon to the special 1 insurance 3 icon is changed.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) two changes before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon. In addition, the change suggestion performance is continuously executed.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Also, the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon. In addition, the change suggestion performance is continuously executed.

Next, as a change effect from the incidental performance execution time T21, the ring image RA that was rotating above the special 1 insurance 1 icon gradually expands to display an image that covers the special 1 insurance 1 icon, and then the ring An effect in which the image RA disappears is executed. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed. At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the fluctuating display corresponding to the special 1 insurance 1 icon increase.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation performance (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in production example 7, by executing the pending icon second additional production, execution of the pending icon second additional production is started targeting the special 1 insurance 3 icon, and this special 1 insurance 3 icon is An example is shown in which the display mode is changed when the icon is shifted and displayed. However, the pending icons to be subjected to the second additional performance of pending icons are not limited to the special 1-guarantee 3 icon, but may also be the special 1-guarantee 2 icon or the special 1-guarantee 1 icon.

Note that in production example 7, an example is shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance or an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), it is possible to execute the same performance as the performance example 7. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 7, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the second additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 8 of production]
Next, production example 8 will be explained with reference to FIG. 10H. Production example 8 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production three variations before the target variation to the target variation production. Further, production example 8 shows a case where a pending icon production, a variable icon production, and a pending icon second additional production in the icon production are executed as pre-read production in the supplementary production. In addition, in this production example 8, the number of special figures 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production 3 variations before the target variation is 3. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as pre-read pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 2 icon (hold 2).

The feature of the performance in example 8 is that by executing the hold icon second additional performance, when the special 1 insurance 2 icon that is the target of the performance is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon, the special 1 insurance 1 icon is The point is to change the display mode.

First, the pre-variation effect before three variations is completed, and the pre-variation effect before two variations (loss variation effect) is started, so that the variation icon is displayed in "white". Further, the special 1 insurance 3 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and the special 1 insurance 2 icon is shifted and displayed as the special 1 insurance 1 icon.

Subsequently, a second additional performance with a pending icon is executed from the additional performance execution time T22. When execution of the second hold icon additional effect is started, a ring image RA appears above the special 1 insurance 1 icon that is displayed as "white", and then the ring image RA rotates above the special 1 insurance 1 icon. A change suggestion effect is executed by displaying an image to be changed. By executing this change suggestion performance, the player understands that the display mode of the pending icon of either the special 1 insurance 1 icon or the special 1 insurance 2 icon is changed.

Subsequently, by starting the advance variation effect (loss variation effect) one change before, the variation icon is displayed in "white". Also, the Toku 1 Hou 2 icon is shifted and displayed to the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon. In addition, the change suggestion performance is continuously executed.

Next, as a change effect from the incidental performance execution time T21, the ring image RA that was rotating above the special 1 insurance 1 icon gradually expands to display an image that covers the special 1 insurance 1 icon, and then the ring An effect in which the image RA disappears is executed. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed. At this point, the player's expectations for a jackpot with respect to the fluctuating display corresponding to the special 1 insurance 1 icon increase.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation performance (SP1 reach 1 loss variation performance), the variation icon is displayed in "blue". Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T61, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

In addition, in production example 8, by executing the pending icon second additional production, execution of the pending icon second additional production is started targeting the special 1 insurance 2 icon, and this special 1 insurance 2 icon is An example is shown in which the display mode is changed when the icon is shifted and displayed. However, the pending icon to be subjected to the second additional performance of the pending icon is not limited to the special 1-guarantee 2 icon, but may also be the special 1-guarantee 3 icon or the special 1-guarantee 1 icon.

Furthermore, in production example 8, an example is shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance or an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as in performance example 8 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 8, it is possible to increase expectations for a jackpot for the pending variable display by the second additional performance of the pending icon.

[Example 9 of production]
Next, production example 9 will be explained with reference to FIG. 10I. Production example 9 shows a case where, during execution of the variable production, a variable icon production in the icon production and a variable icon first additional production are executed as a variation performance in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 9, it is assumed that the SP2 reach 1 loss variation production is executed based on the variation pattern information P130, and the display mode of the variation icon when the variation is started is "blinking white".

Here, the first additional effect of the variable icon will be explained. In the first additional effect of the variable icon, a character image is first displayed above the display position of the variable icon, and an effect in which the character image flies toward the variable icon (change suggestion effect) is executed. Subsequently, after performing a performance in which the character image hides (makes it difficult to see) the variable icon, a performance in which the character image flies away (changing performance) is performed. Then, the display mode of the variable icon is changed and displayed in accordance with the change effect. Note that there are cases where the display mode of the variable icon is displayed without being changed in accordance with the change effect, and the change effect executed in such a case is a fake change effect.

The feature of the performance in performance example 9 is that by executing the variable icon first additional performance, a performance that changes the display mode of the variable icon is executed.

First, when the SP1 reach 1 loss variable effect is started, the variable icon first additional effect is executed from the additional effect execution time T93. When execution of the first variable icon additional effect is started, a change suggestion effect is executed by displaying an image in which the character image KA flies from above toward the variable icon displayed in a "blinking white" manner. Subsequently, after the character image KA executes an effect to hide the variable icon, a changing effect is executed by displaying an image of the character image KA flying away. Then, in accordance with the change effect, the variable icon is changed from "blinking white" to "blue" and displayed.

Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T98, the variable icon is changed from "blue" to "green" and displayed. Subsequently, at incidental performance execution time T106, the variable icon is changed from "green" to "red" and displayed.

Note that in production example 9, an example is shown in which a SP2 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance or an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as in performance example 9 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 9, it is possible to increase the player's expectation of a jackpot through the first additional performance of the variable icon.

[Example 10 of production]
Next, production example 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 10J. Production example 10 shows a case where, during execution of the variation production, a variation icon production in the icon production and a variation icon first additional production are executed as the variation production in the incidental production. In this performance example 10, it is assumed that the normal reach 1 loss fluctuation performance is executed based on the fluctuation pattern information P110, and the display mode of the fluctuation icon when the fluctuation is started is "blinking white".

A feature of the performance in performance example 10 is that even if the first variable icon additional performance is executed, a fake change performance is performed in which the display mode of the variable icon is not changed.

First, when the normal reach 1 loss variable effect is started, the variable icon first additional effect is executed from the additional effect execution time T42. When execution of the first variable icon additional effect is started, a change suggestion effect is executed by displaying an image in which the character image KA flies from above toward the variable icon displayed in a "blinking white" manner. Subsequently, after the character image KA executes an effect to hide the variable icon, a changing effect is executed by displaying an image of the character image KA flying away, but the variable icon is displayed as "blinking white". Therefore, the change performance in this case is a fake change performance.

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 10, it is possible to once increase the player's expectation of a jackpot and then discourage him by the first additional performance of the variable icon.

[Example 11 of production]
Next, production example 11 will be explained with reference to FIG. 10K. Production example 11 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production one variation before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 11 shows a case where a variable icon production in the icon production and a variable icon second additional production are executed as pre-read production in the supplementary production. In addition, in this production example 11, the number of special figures 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production one variation before the target variation is 1. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 1 icon (hold 1).

Here, the second additional effect of the variable icon will be explained. The presentation contents of the second variable icon additional presentation are the same as the above-described first variable icon additional presentation. However, the difference between the first fluctuating icon additional performance and the first fluctuating icon additional performance is that the first fluctuating icon additional performance is a performance executed for the purpose of suggesting the jackpot expectation of the fluctuating display being executed, whereas the second fluctuating icon The performance is not performed for the purpose of suggesting the jackpot expectation level of the fluctuating display that is being executed, but is a performance that is performed for the purpose of suggesting the jackpot expectation level for the fluctuating display after the fluctuating display that is being executed (pre-reading performance). The point is that.

The feature of the performance in performance example 11 is that by performing the variable icon second additional performance with the character image KA, it suggests the degree of jackpot expectation in the variable display to be executed after this variable display.

First, when the advance variation performance (normal reach 1 loss variation performance) before one variation is started, the second additional performance with the variation icon is executed from the incidental performance execution time T35. When execution of the second variable icon additional effect is started, a change suggestion effect is executed by displaying an image in which the character image KA flies from above toward the variable icon displayed as "white". Subsequently, after the character image KA executes an effect to hide the variable icon, a changing effect is executed by displaying an image of the character image KA flying away. Then, in accordance with the change performance, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blinking white" and displayed. Here, by changing the fluctuation icon from "white" to "flashing white" and displaying it, the player's expectation of a jackpot for this fluctuation effect increases, but in the previous fluctuation performance before this one change, the normal reach The player loses just by executing this, and the player is disappointed because the SP1 reach does not even develop.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Subsequently, at the incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and then the SP reach 1 performance is executed and the game loses.

In addition, in the production example 11, the case where the number of special figures 1 pending storage is one is shown as an example. However, the variable icon second additional effect may be executed not only when the number of special figure 1 pending memories is one, but also when the number of special figure 1 pending memories is 2 to 4. When the second variable icon additional effect is executed when the number of reserved special figures 1 is 2 to 4, any one of the reserved icons from the special 1 reserve 1 icon to the special 1 reserve 3 icon is Targeted.

Furthermore, in production example 11, an example was shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variation performance or an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variation performance), the same performance as in performance example 11 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different. Further, the variation performance before the variation of the target variation performance is not limited to the normal reach 1 loss variation performance (variation pattern information = P110), but may be a loss variation performance (variation pattern information = P100 to 102).

As described above, by executing the performance shown as Production Example 11, after once discouraging the player by the variation performance (preliminary variation performance) before the variation of the target variation performance, the variation icon is displayed as "white". It is possible to raise the player's expectations for a jackpot from disappointment in a target variation performance that the player does not expect.

[Example 12 of production]
Next, production example 12 will be described with reference to FIG. 10L. Production example 12 shows a variation production and ancillary production that are executed from the variation production one variation before the target variation to the target variation production. Furthermore, production example 12 shows a case where a variable icon production in the icon production and a variable icon second additional production are executed as pre-read production in the incidental production. In addition, in this production example 12, the number of special symbols 1 pending memory at the start of the variation production one variation before the target variation is 1. Further, it is assumed that Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) is stored as pre-read pattern information corresponding to the special 1 hold 1 icon (hold 1).

The feature of the performance in Production Example 12 is that by performing the variable icon second additional production with a character image KB different from Production Example 11, it suggests the degree of jackpot expectation in the variable display to be executed after this variable display. be.

First, when the advance variation performance (normal reach 1 loss variation performance) before one variation is started, the second additional performance with the variation icon is executed from the incidental performance execution time T35. When execution of the second variable icon additional effect is started, a change suggestion effect is executed by displaying an image in which the character image KB flies from above toward the variable icon displayed as "white". Subsequently, after the character image KB executes an effect to hide the variable icon, a changing effect is executed by displaying an image of the character image flying away. Then, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed in accordance with the change effect. Here, by changing the variation icon from "white" to "blue" and displaying it, the player's expectation of a jackpot for this variation effect increases, but the normal reach is higher than the normal reach in the pre-variation effect one change before. The player loses the game just by executing it, and the player is disappointed because it does not even reach SP1 reach.

Subsequently, with the start of the target variation effect (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the variation icon is displayed in "white". Subsequently, at the incidental performance execution time T56, the variable icon is changed from "white" to "blue" and displayed, and then the SP reach 1 performance is executed and the game loses.

In addition, in production example 12, the case where the number of special figures 1 pending storage is one is shown as an example. However, the variable icon second additional effect may be executed not only when the number of special figure 1 pending memories is one, but also when the number of special figure 1 pending memories is 2 to 4. When the second variable icon additional effect is executed when the number of reserved special figures 1 is 2 to 4, any one of the reserved icons from the special 1 reserve 1 icon to the special 1 reserve 3 icon is Targeted.

Furthermore, in production example 12, an example was shown in which SP1 reach 1 loss variation production is executed in the target variation production. However, the target fluctuation performance is other than the SP1 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance (SP1 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 loss fluctuation performance, SP1 reach 2 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 loss fluctuation performance, SP2 reach 1 jackpot fluctuation performance, SP2 Even if it is a reach 2 loss variable performance, an SP2 reach 2 jackpot variable performance), the same performance as in performance example 12 can be executed. In such a case, the execution timing of the supplementary effect, the icon effect display mode, etc. may be different. Further, the variation performance before the variation of the target variation performance is not limited to the normal reach 1 loss variation performance (variation pattern information = P110), but may be a loss variation performance (variation pattern information = P100 to 102).

As described above, by executing the performance shown as performance example 12, after the player is once discouraged by the fluctuation performance (preliminary fluctuation performance) before the fluctuation of the target fluctuation performance, the fluctuation icon is displayed as "white". It is possible to raise the player's expectations for a jackpot from disappointment in a target variation performance that the player does not expect.

As described above, by executing the performances shown in performance examples 1 to 12, the performance effect of the pachinko game machine 1 is improved.

[Ahead production decision processing]
Next, the look-ahead performance determination process executed in the starting winning performance process (S3200) in the above-mentioned performance process (see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. The look-ahead performance determination process is a process that determines whether or not a look-ahead performance, which is an incidental performance, can be executed, the content of the look-ahead performance (a look-ahead performance pattern), and the like.

When the CPU 121C starts the pre-read effect determination process, it first determines whether the pending icon effect is being executed or scheduled to be executed (S3211). If it is determined that the pending icon rendering is being executed or scheduled to be executed, the process advances to S3216. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process advances to S3212.

If it is determined in S3211 that the pending icon presentation is not being executed and is not scheduled to be executed, it is determined whether or not the pending icon presentation is executable (S3212). In this process, it is determined whether or not to execute the pending icon effect using the pending icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12(a). In addition, in this process, whether or not to execute the pending icon performance is determined based on the determination ratio (assignment of judgment value) specified in the item of "Pending icon performance" in the pending icon performance determination table shown in FIG. 12(a). be done.

Subsequently, it is determined whether it has been decided to execute the pending icon effect (S3213). If it is determined that it has been decided to execute the pending icon effect, the process advances to S3214. On the other hand, if it is determined that the pending icon effect is not to be executed, the process advances to S3216.

If it is determined in S3213 that the pending icon presentation is to be executed, a pending icon presentation pattern is determined (S3214). In this process, a pending icon presentation pattern is determined using the pending icon presentation determining table shown in FIGS. 13A to 13D.

Here, an example of the pending icon effect determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 13A to 13D. As shown in FIGS. 13A to 13D, the pending icon performance determining tables include a pending icon performance determining table 1 (FIG. 13A) used in the normal state, a pending icon performance determining table 2 (FIG. 13B), and a pending icon performance determining table 2 (FIG. 13B) used in the time saving state. It consists of a pending icon effect determination table 3 (FIG. 13C) and a pending icon effect determination table 4 (FIG. 13D) used in the.

The display mode of the hold icon in the normal state is "white" which is the normal state hold icon, and "blinking white", "blue", "green", "red", and "gold" which are the special state hold icons. There are seven types of ``rainbow''. The expectation of a jackpot increases in the order of "white" < "flashing white" < "blue" < "green" < "red" < "gold" < "rainbow".

In the normal state, basically, when a variation performance equal to or higher than SP1 reach 1 variation performance is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the pending icon becomes a color of "green" or higher. However, exceptionally, even when a normal reach 1 jackpot variable performance or a normal reach 2 jackpot variable performance is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the pending icon may be a color of "green" or higher.

Furthermore, there are four types of display modes for the hold icon in the time saving state: a normal hold icon in white, and special hold icons in blue, red, and rainbow. The expectation of a jackpot increases in the order of "white" < "blue" < "red" < "rainbow".

In the time saving state, if the SP3 reach variation effect is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the pending icon will be in a color of "red" or higher. However, exceptionally, when the normal reach 3 jackpot variable performance is scheduled to be executed, the display mode of the pending icon may be a "rainbow" color.

The hold icon will be displayed in the normal display mode from the time of starting winning to Holding 1 (Special Figure 1 Holding 1, Special Drawing 2 Holding 1), and will be displayed normally when starting winning. In some cases, the pending icon is changed to a special display mode and displayed in a special display mode until the first pending (Special Figure 1 Reserve 1, Special Figure 2 Reserve 1), and in other cases, the pending icon is displayed in a special display mode from the time the winning is started. There are cases where this occurs.

FIG. 13A is used when determining a hold icon production pattern when a new special figure 1 hold in the normal state is special figure 1 hold 3 (hold 3) or special figure 1 hold 4 (hold 4). This is a table 1 for determining a pending icon performance pattern.

In this pending icon performance pattern determination table 1, for each prefetch pattern information (Y100 to Y171), the determination ratio ( (allocation of judgment values) are associated with each other. Further, for each pending icon presentation pattern, the presentation contents of the pending icon presentation to be executed from displaying the Special 1 and 4 icons (Pending 4) to the Special 1 and 1 and 1 icons (Pending 1) are defined. In addition, if the new special figure 1 hold is special figure 1 hold 3 (3rd hold), the performance contents specified in ``Hold 3'' to ``Hold 1'' in the performance content will be executed, and the new When the special figure 1 hold is the special figure 1 hold 4 (the 4th hold), the performance contents specified in “Hold 4” to “Hold 1” in the performance contents are executed.

FIG. 13B is used when determining a hold icon production pattern when a new special figure 1 hold in the normal state is special figure 1 hold 1 (hold 1) or special figure 1 hold 2 (hold 2). This is a table 2 for determining a pending icon presentation pattern.

In this pending icon performance pattern determination table 2, for each prefetch pattern information (Y100 to Y171), the pending icon performance patterns PA31 to PA41 and the determination ratio ( (allocation of judgment values) are associated with each other. Further, for each pending icon presentation pattern, the presentation contents of the pending icon presentation to be executed from displaying the Special 1 and 2 icons (Pending 2) to the Special 1 and 1 and 1 icons (Pending 1) are defined. In addition, if the new special figure 1 hold is special figure 1 hold 1 (the first hold), the performance content specified in "hold 1" in the performance content will be executed, and the new special figure 1 hold will be , in the case of special figure 1 pending 2 (second pending), the performance contents specified in "pending 2" and "pending 1" in the performance contents will be executed.

FIG. 13C shows how to determine the hold icon performance pattern when the new special figure 2 hold information in the time saving state is special figure 2 hold 3 information (hold 1) or special figure 2 hold 4 information (hold 2). This is a table 3 for determining a pending icon effect pattern used for.

In this pending icon performance pattern determination table 3, the pending icon performance patterns PA51 to PA59 and the determination ratio ( (allocation of judgment values) are associated with each other. Further, for each pending icon presentation pattern, the performance contents of the pending icon presentation to be executed from displaying the Special 2 and 4 icons (Pending 4) to the Special 2 and 1 icon (Pending 1) are defined. In addition, if the new special figure 2 reservation information is special figure 2 reservation 3 information (3rd reservation), the performance contents specified in "reservation 3" to "reservation 1" in the performance contents are executed, If the new special figure 2 hold information is special figure 2 hold 4 information (4th hold), the production contents specified in ``hold 4'' to ``hold 1'' in the production content will be executed. Become.

FIG. 13D is used when determining the hold icon production pattern when the new special figure 2 hold in the time saving state is special figure 2 hold 1 (hold 1) or special figure 2 hold 2 (hold 2). This is a table 4 for determining a pending icon presentation pattern.

In this pending icon performance pattern determination table 4, for each prefetch pattern information (Y200 to Y280), the pending icon performance patterns PA61 to PA68 and the determination ratio ( (allocation of judgment values) are associated with each other. Further, for each pending icon presentation pattern, the content of the pending icon presentation to be executed from displaying the special 2-ho 2 icon (suspension 2) to the special 2-ho 1 icon (suspension 1) is defined. In addition, if the new special figure 2 hold is special figure 2 hold 1 (the first hold), the performance content specified in "hold 1" in the performance content will be executed, and the new special figure 2 hold will be executed. , in the case of special figure 2 pending 2 (second pending), the production contents specified in "Pending 2" and "Pending 1" in the production contents will be executed.

When the pending icon presentation pattern is determined through the process of S3214, it is set as pending icon presentation data (S3215).

Subsequently, other pre-read effect determination processing is executed (S3216). The other pre-read performance determination process determines whether or not other pre-read effects other than the reserved icon effect can be executed, and other pre-read effect patterns to be executed.

Subsequently, a pre-read effect data storage process is executed (S3217). In this pre-read effect data storage process, effect data for executing each pre-read effect (type of pre-read effect to be executed, effect pattern of the pre-read effect, etc.) is stored in the RAM 121b as pre-read effect pattern information. When the process of S3217 is finished, the pre-reading effect determination process is finished.

If it is determined to execute the pending icon presentation through this look-ahead presentation determination process and the pending icon presentation pattern is determined, then, for example, the pending icon presentation shown in the above-mentioned presentation example 1 (see FIG. 10A) will be executed. . In addition, if it is decided to perform the pending icon effect by this look-ahead effect determining process, and the pending icon first additional effect pattern is determined by the pending icon first additional effect determining process (see FIG. 16), which will be described later, for example, the above-mentioned The hold icon first additional effects shown in Effect Example 2 (see FIG. 10B) to Effect Example 6 (see FIG. 10F) can be executed. In addition, if it is decided to execute the pending icon effect by this look-ahead effect determining process, and if the pending icon second additional effect pattern is determined by the pending icon second additional effect determining process (see FIG. 18), which will be described later, for example, the above-mentioned It becomes possible to execute the second additional performance of the hold icon shown in performance example 7 (see FIG. 10G) and performance example 8 (see FIG. 10H).

As described above, when it is determined to perform the pending icon presentation by the pre-read presentation determination process and the pending icon presentation pattern is determined, the pending icon presentation based on the determined pending icon presentation pattern is executed, and thereby the pachinko The performance effect of the gaming machine 1 is improved.

[Variable effect start processing]
Next, an example of the variable effect start process executed in the variable effect process (S3300) in the above-described effect process (see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. 14. The fluctuating performance start process is a process of determining the performance pattern of the fluctuating performance (fluctuating performance pattern), whether or not to execute the fluctuating performance which is an incidental performance, the performance pattern of the fluctuating performance (fluctuating performance pattern), and the like.

In addition, in the variable performance start process, it is determined whether or not the above-described first additional performance of the hold icon can be performed and the performance pattern of the first additional performance of the hold icon, and whether or not the second additional performance of the hold icon can be executed and the second additional performance of the hold icon are determined. Execute the process to determine the performance pattern. Furthermore, in the variable effect start process, it is determined whether or not the above-described first variable icon additional effect can be executed and the effect pattern of the first variable icon additional effect, and whether or not the second variable icon additional effect can be executed and the second variable icon additional effect is determined. Execute the process to determine the performance pattern.

When the CPU 121C starts the variable effect start process, it first determines a variable effect pattern based on the variable pattern information (S3301).

Subsequently, a combination of performance symbols is determined (S3302). In this process, the combination of the performance symbols 21LCR when the variable performance is temporarily stopped or stopped is determined.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not pending icon presentation data has been set (S3303). If it is determined that the pending icon effect data is set, the process advances to S3304. On the other hand, if it is determined that the pending icon effect data is not set, the process advances to S3308.

If it is determined in S3303 that the pending icon effect data is set, it is determined whether the gaming state is a time saving state (S3304). If it is determined that the gaming state is not the time saving state, the process advances to S3305. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gaming state is the time saving state, the process advances to S3312.

If it is determined in S3304 that the gaming state is not the time saving state, a pending icon first additional effect determination process is executed (S3305). The pending icon first additional effect determination process will be described later using FIG. 16.

When the pending icon first additional effect determination process is completed in S3305, it is determined whether the pending icon first additional effect data is set (S3306). If it is determined that the hold icon first additional effect data is set, the process advances to S3308. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon first additional effect data is not set, the process advances to S3307.

If it is determined in S3306 that the hold icon first additional effect data is not set, a hold icon second additional effect determination process is executed (S3307). The pending icon second additional effect determination process will be described later using FIG. 18.

If it is determined in S3303 that the pending icon performance data is not set, or if the pending icon second additional performance determination process is completed in S3307, a variable icon performance pattern (performance content of the variable icon) is determined (S3308). In this process, a variable icon effect pattern is determined using the variable icon effect pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 15A to 15D. Once the variable icon performance pattern is determined, variable icon performance data is set.

In this sixth variable icon presentation pattern determination table, the variable icon presentation pattern HA81 and the determination ratio (assignment of judgment values) of the variable icon presentation pattern HA81 are associated with each variable pattern information (P160 to P171). ing. Further, for each variable icon presentation pattern, the presentation contents of the variable icon presentation to be executed at each of the start time (start time) to change period 3 (change 3) of the variable presentation are defined.

It should be noted that, for example, the following times are defined in the presentation contents "start time" to "change 3" in the first variable icon presentation pattern determination table to the seventh variable icon presentation pattern determination table. Note that the "-" written in the presentation content indicates that the variable icon does not change (maintains the display).

In the case of the variation patterns P100, 101, and 102, the "start time" of the production content is the incidental production execution time T1, T11, and T21, respectively, and the "change 1" of the production content is the incidental production execution time T2, T12, and T22, respectively. be.

Furthermore, in the case of the variation patterns P110 and 115, the "start time" of the performance content is the incidental performance execution time T31, and the "change 1" of the performance content is the incidental performance execution time T32.

Furthermore, in the case of the variation patterns P111 and 116, the "start time" of the performance content is the incidental performance execution time T41, the "change 1" of the performance content is the incidental performance execution time T42, and the "change 2" of the performance content is the incidental performance execution time T41. The incidental performance execution time is T45.

In addition, in the case of the fluctuation patterns P120 and 160, the "start time" of the production content is the incidental production execution time T51, the "change 1" of the production content is the incidental production execution time T53, and the "change 2" of the production content is The incidental performance execution time is T56, and the “change 3” of the performance content is the incidental performance execution time T61.

When the variable icon presentation pattern is determined in S3308 and the variable icon presentation data is set, for example, the variable icon presentations shown in presentation example 1 (see FIG. 10A) to presentation example 12 (see FIG. 10L) described above are executed. That will happen.

Once the variable icon effect pattern is determined in S3308, a variable icon first additional effect determination process is subsequently executed (S3309). The variable icon first additional effect determination process will be described later using FIG. 20.

When the variable icon first additional effect determination process is completed in S3309, it is determined whether or not variable icon first additional effect data is set (S3310). If it is determined that the variable icon first additional effect data is set, the process advances to S3312. On the other hand, if it is determined that the variable icon first additional effect data is not set, the process advances to S3311.

If it is determined in S3310 that the variable icon first additional effect data is not set, a variable icon second additional effect determination process is executed (S3311). The variable icon second additional effect determination process will be described later using FIG. 22.

If it is determined in S3304 that the time is shortened, or if it is determined in S3310 that the fluctuating icon first additional performance data is set, then other fluctuating performance determination processing is executed (S3312). The other fluctuating performance determination process determines whether each of the other fluctuating performances can be executed or not, and the fluctuating performance pattern of each of the other fluctuating performances.

Subsequently, a variable effect data storage process is executed (S3313). In this variable performance data storage process, a variable performance pattern, variable icon performance data, and supplementary performance data for executing each incidental performance (such as a fluctuating performance, a look-ahead performance, etc.) are stored in the RAM 121b as variable performance data. When this process ends, the variable performance start process ends.

As described above, the variable performance pattern and each fluctuating performance pattern are determined by the fluctuating performance start process, and by executing the variable performance based on the determined variable performance pattern and each fluctuating performance pattern, the pachinko game machine The production effect of 1 will be improved.

[Pending icon first additional effect determination process]
Next, an example of the pending icon first additional effect determination process executed in S3305 of the above-described variable effect start process will be described with reference to FIG. 16. In this hold icon first additional effect determination process, it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon first additional effect, and if it is determined to execute the hold icon first additional effect, the effect content of the hold icon first additional effect (the hold icon first additional effect) is determined. 1 additional effect pattern) is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the reservation icon first additional effect determination process, it first determines whether or not to change the display mode of reservation 1 (Special 1 Reserve 1 icon) (S33051). In this process, reference is made to the pending icon presentation data (see FIG. 11) set based on the pending icon presentation pattern determined using the above-described pending icon presentation pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D). By this, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of Pending 1 (whether or not it is set to change the display mode of Pending 1 with this variation effect). If it is determined that the display mode of the hold 1 (special 1 hold 1 icon) is to be changed, the hold icon first additional effect target hold data AE (hereinafter referred to as "AE") is set to 1, and then the process goes to S33054. Proceed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display mode of Pending 1 is not to be changed, the process advances to S33052.

When it is determined in S33051 that the display mode of Pending 1 (Special 1, Insurance 1 icon) is not to be changed, it is determined whether or not the display mode of Pending 2 (Special 1, Insurance 2 icon) is to be changed (S33052). In this process, reference is made to the pending icon presentation data (see FIG. 11) set based on the pending icon presentation pattern determined using the above-described pending icon presentation pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D). By this, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of Pending 2 (whether or not it is set to change the display mode of Pending 2 with this variation effect). If it is determined that the display mode of Pending 2 (Toku 1 Hosei 1 icon) is to be changed, AE is set to 2, and the process advances to S33054. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display mode of Pending 2 is not to be changed, the process advances to S33053.

If it is determined in S33052 that the display mode of reservation 1 (special 1 insurance 2 icon) is not to be changed, it is determined whether the display format of reservation 3 (special 1 insurance 3 icon) is to be changed (S33053). In this process, reference is made to the pending icon presentation data (see FIG. 11) set based on the pending icon presentation pattern determined using the above-described pending icon presentation pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D). By this, it is determined whether or not to change the display mode of the hold 3 (whether or not it is set to change the display mode of the hold 3 with this variation effect). If it is determined that the display mode of Pending 3 (Special 1 Hosei 3 icon) is to be changed, AE is set to 3, and the process advances to S33054. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display mode of the hold 3 is not to be changed, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is ended.

If any of 1 to 3 is set to AE in the processing of S33051 to S33053, then the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding (change of display mode) pending is Y110 (Normal reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) It is determined whether or not it is the above (S33054). If it is determined that the prefetch pattern information corresponding to the corresponding suspension is Y110 or more, the process advances to S33055. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the pending icon first additional effect determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S33054 that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the applicable hold is Y110 or higher, is all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to holds other than the applicable hold equal to or lower than Y102 (planned to execute loss variation effect)? It is determined whether or not (S33055). If it is determined that all the prefetch pattern information corresponding to holds other than the applicable hold are Y102 or less, the process advances to S33056. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the pending icon first additional effect determination process is ended.

Note that the execution of the processes of S33051 to S33055 is a feature of this pending icon first additional effect determination process.

If it is determined in S33055 that all the pre-read pattern information corresponding to holds other than the applicable hold are Y102 or less, then it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon first additional effect (S33056). In this process, it is determined whether or not to execute the pending icon effect using the pending icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12(a). In addition, in this process, "AE=1", "AE=2", and "AE=3" in the "Pending icon first additional effect" item in the pending icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12(a) are set. Based on the determination ratio (assignment of determination value) defined for each of the above, it is determined whether or not to execute the first additional performance of the pending icon.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it has been determined in the process of S33056 to execute the first additional rendering of the pending icon (S33057). If it is determined that the hold icon first additional effect is to be executed, the process advances to S33058. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon first additional effect is not to be executed, the hold icon first additional effect determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S33057 that it has been decided to execute the hold icon first additional effect, the effect content (hold icon first additional effect pattern) of the hold icon first additional effect is determined (S33058). In this process, the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined using the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table shown in FIG.

Here, an example of the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIG. 17. As shown in FIG. 17, the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table includes hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 1 (FIG. 17(a)), hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 2 (see FIG. 17(b)), and a pending icon first additional effect pattern determination table 3 (FIG. 17(c)).

FIG. 17(a) is a table 1 for determining a pending icon first additional effect pattern, which is used when determining a pending icon first additional effect pattern when the number of pending memories is 1.

In this hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 1, the hold icon first additional effect patterns PF01 to PF04 are set for each of the colors "flashing white" to "rainbow" after the display mode of the corresponding hold is changed. , the determination ratio (assignment of determination value) of each pending icon first additional performance pattern among the pending icon first additional performance patterns PF01 to PF04 is associated with each other. Furthermore, for each pending icon first additional performance pattern, the content of the performance of the suspended icon first additional performance to be executed (the mode of the character that executes the suspended icon first additional performance for the special 1 protection 1 icon) is defined. ing.

The first feature of the hold icon first additional effect pattern determined using the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 1 is that the display mode of hold icon 1 is changed to "blinking white" or "blue". If the display mode of Pending 1 is changed to "green" or "red", the percentage of PF02 being determined is high, and the display of Pending 1 is When the mode is changed to "gold", the percentage of PF03 is determined is high, and when the display format of pending 1 is changed to "rainbow", the percentage of PF04 is determined is high. It is.

FIG. 17(b) is a table 2 for determining a pending icon first additional effect pattern, which is used when determining a pending icon first additional effect pattern when the number of pending memories is 2.

In this hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 2, the hold icon first additional effect patterns PF11 to PF18 are set for each of the colors "flashing white" to "rainbow" after the display mode of the corresponding hold is changed. , the determination ratio (assignment of determination value) of each pending icon first additional performance pattern among the pending icon first additional performance patterns PF11 to PF18 is associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 1st additional effect pattern, the performance content of the hold icon 1st additional effect to be executed (Special 1 Ho 1 icon (or Toku 1 Ho 2 icon and Toku 1 Ho 2 icon) The mode of the character that executes the first icon additional effect) is defined.

The first feature of the hold icon first additional effect pattern determined using the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 2 is that the display mode of the hold icon (hold 1 or 2) is "flashing white" or When changing to "blue", PF11 is determined more often, and when the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1 or 2) is changed to "green" or "red", PF12 is determined. If the display format of the applicable hold (Hold 1 or 2) is changed to "Fold", the proportion of PF13 is determined, and the When the display mode is changed to "rainbow", the percentage of PF14 being determined is high. In addition, the second feature is that the first additional effect of the pending icon is executed with two character images or one character image (when PF15 to 18 are determined, if AE=1, special 1 The first additional rendering of the pending icon is executed for the 1st reserve icon, and if AE=2, the 2nd additional rendering of the pending icon is executed for the special 1st and 2nd icon).

FIG. 17(c) is a table 3 for determining a pending icon first additional effect pattern, which is used when determining a pending icon first additional effect pattern when the number of pending memories is three.

In this hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 3, the hold icon first additional effect patterns PF21 to PF26 are set for each of the colors "flashing white" to "rainbow" after the display mode of the corresponding hold is changed. , the determination ratio (assignment of determination value) of each pending icon first additional performance pattern among the pending icon first additional performance patterns PF21 to PF26 is associated with each other. In addition, for each hold icon 1st additional effect pattern, the performance content of the hold icon 1st additional effect to be executed (Special 1 Ho 1 icon (or Toku 1 Ho 2 icon and Toku 1 Ho 2 icon) The mode of the character that executes the first icon additional effect) is defined.

The first feature of the hold icon first additional effect pattern determined using the hold icon first additional effect pattern determination table 3 is that the display mode of the corresponding hold (hold 1, 2, or 3) is If the status is changed to 'blinking white' or 'blue', there is a high probability that PF21 will be determined, and the display format of the corresponding hold (hold 1, 2, or 3) will change to 'green' or 'red'. When the display format of the corresponding hold (Hold 1, 2, or 3) is changed to "Gold", the ratio of PF23 is determined is high. Therefore, when the display mode of Pending 1 is changed to "Rainbow", the ratio of PF24 being determined is high.

When the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined by the process of S33058, the hold icon first additional effect pattern is set as the hold icon first additional effect data (S33059). The pending icon first additional effect data set in this process is stored in the RAM 121b as variable effect data in the above-described variable effect data storage process (S3313). When the process of S33058 is finished, the pending icon first additional effect determination process is finished.

When it is determined to execute the hold icon first additional effect by this hold icon first additional effect determination process and the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined, for example, the above-mentioned effect example 2 (see FIG. 10B) to effect example The hold icon first additional effect shown in 6 (see FIG. 10F) is added and executed in the hold icon effect.

As described above, the hold icon first additional effect pattern is determined by the hold icon first additional effect determination process, and the hold icon first additional effect based on the determined hold icon first additional effect pattern is executed. , the performance effect of the pachinko game machine 1 is improved.

[Pending icon second additional effect determination process]
Next, an example of the pending icon second additional effect determination process executed in S3307 of the above-described variable effect start process will be described with reference to FIG. 18. In this pending icon second additional performance determination process, it is determined whether or not to execute the pending icon second additional performance, and if it is determined to execute the pending icon second additional performance, the performance content of the pending icon second additional performance (the pending icon second additional performance is determined). 2 additional effect pattern) is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the pending icon second additional performance determination process, it first determines whether the pending icon second additional performance data has been set (the pending icon second additional performance is being executed from the previous variable performance). Determination is made (S33071). Then, when it is determined that the pending icon second additional effect data is set, the pending icon second additional effect determining process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold icon second additional effect data is not set, the process advances to S33072.

If it is determined in S33071 that the hold icon second additional effect data is not set, a hold that changes the display mode of the Toku 1 Hou 1 icon from "white" to a color of "blue" or higher at the time of hold 1 is stored. It is determined whether or not (S33072). In this process, reference is made to the pending icon presentation data (see FIG. 11) set based on the pending icon presentation pattern determined using the above-described pending icon presentation pattern determination table (see FIGS. 13A to 13D). By this, it is determined whether or not a hold (hold icon presentation data) for changing the display mode of the special 1 hold 1 icon from "white" to a color of "blue" or higher when the hold 1 is on hold is stored. If it is determined that a hold that changes the display mode of the special 1-ho 1 icon from "white" to a color of "blue" or higher is stored in the hold 1, the process advances to S33073. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the pending icon second additional effect determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S33072 that a hold that changes the display mode of the special 1 insurance 1 icon from "white" to a color of "blue" or higher is stored when the hold is 1, it is determined whether the corresponding hold is the hold 1 or not. (S33073). If it is determined that the corresponding hold is hold 1, the hold icon second additional performance target hold data BE (hereinafter referred to as "BE") is set to 1, and the process advances to S33076. On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding hold is not hold 1, the process advances to S33074.

If it is determined in S33073 that the corresponding hold is not hold 1, it is determined whether the corresponding hold is hold 2 (S33074). If it is determined that the corresponding hold is hold 2, BE is set to 2, and the process advances to S33076. On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding hold is not hold 2, the process advances to S33075.

If it is determined in S33074 that the corresponding hold is not hold 2, it is determined whether the corresponding hold is hold 3 (S33075). If it is determined that the corresponding hold is hold 3, BE is set to 3, and the process advances to S33076. On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding hold is not hold 3, the hold icon second additional effect determination process is ended.

If any of 1 to 3 is set to BE in the processing of S33073 to S33075, then it is determined whether the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the corresponding hold is equal to or higher than Y120 (SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed). (S33076). If it is determined that the prefetch pattern information corresponding to the corresponding suspension is Y120 or more, the process advances to S33077. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the pending icon second additional effect determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S33076 that the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the applicable hold is Y120 or higher, all the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to the hold stored before the applicable hold is Y102 (loss fluctuation effect is scheduled to be executed). It is determined whether or not the following is true (S33077). If it is determined that all the prefetch pattern information corresponding to the hold stored before the corresponding hold is Y102 or less, the process advances to S33078. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the pending icon second additional effect determination process is ended.

Note that the execution of the processes of S33071 to S33077 is a feature of this pending icon second additional effect determination process.

If it is determined in S33077 that all the prefetch pattern information corresponding to the hold stored before the corresponding hold is less than or equal to Y102, then it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon second additional effect (S33078). In this process, it is determined whether or not to execute the pending icon effect using the pending icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12(a). In addition, in this process, "BE=1", "BE=2", and "BE=3" in the "Pending icon second additional effect" item in the pending icon effect determination table shown in FIG. 12(a) Based on the determination ratio (allocation of determination value) defined for each of the above, it is determined whether or not the second additional performance of the pending icon can be executed.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not it was determined in the process of S33078 to execute the second additional performance of the pending icon (S33079). If it is determined that the second additional performance of the pending icon is to be executed, the process advances to S33080. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second pending icon additional performance is not to be performed, the second pending icon additional performance determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S33079 that it has been decided to execute the second hold icon additional effect, the effect content (second hold icon additional effect pattern) of the second hold icon additional effect is determined (S33080). In this process, the hold icon second additional effect pattern is determined using the hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table shown in FIG.

Here, an example of the hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIG. 19.

In this hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table, if the applicable hold is hold 1 (BE=1), if the applicable hold is hold 2 (BE=2), or if the applicable hold is hold 3. For each case (BE=3), hold icon second additional effect patterns PG01 to PG03 and the determination ratio of each hold icon second additional effect pattern in hold icon second additional effect patterns PG01 to PG03 (of the judgment value). allocation) are associated. In addition, for each hold icon second additional effect pattern, the performance content of the hold icon second additional effect to be executed (the performance content until it is displayed as the special 1 protection 1 icon, and the effect displayed as the special 1 protection 1 icon) (The contents of the performance when the performance is performed) are specified.

In this hold icon second additional effect pattern determination table, if the corresponding hold is hold 2 (BE=2) or hold 3 (BE=3), the variable effect until it is displayed as the special 1 hold 1 icon. This is a hold icon second additional effect pattern in which the change suggestion effect is continuously executed and the change effect is executed when the corresponding hold is displayed as the special 1 protection 1 icon.

When the hold icon second additional effect pattern is determined by the process of S33080, the hold icon second additional effect pattern is set as the hold icon second additional effect data (S33081). The pending icon second additional effect data set in this process is stored in the RAM 121b as variable effect data in the above-described variable effect data storage process (S3313). When the process of S33080 is finished, the pending icon second additional effect determination process is finished.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the change suggestion effect may be performed with the pending icon visible through the character image. Further, the display position of the character image is not limited to the front side of the hold icon, but may be any display position close to the hold icon.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pending icon first additional effect determination process is executed in the variable effect start process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be executed in the pre-read effect determination process. Then, if it is executed in the look-ahead effect determination process, when a new hold occurs, the look-ahead pattern information corresponding to each hold at that time is referred to, and if there is a hold that is the target of the effect, A first additional effect of the pending icon may be executed in the variable effect at that time.

Moreover, the hold icon first additional effect of this embodiment is executed as an effect added to the hold icon effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed as a performance different from the hold icon performance. In this case, the effect pattern of the hold icon is also defined in the effect pattern of the hold icon first additional effect.

Furthermore, in the first additional presentation of the pending icon of the present embodiment, a false presentation in which the variation suggestion presentation is executed but the display mode of the pending icon is not changed is not executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a fake effect may be performed in the first additional effect of the pending icon.

Furthermore, in the second hold icon additional effect of the present embodiment, the character image is displayed above the hold icon. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display position of the character image may be any position that is close to the hold icon.

In addition, in the hold icon second additional performance determination process of this embodiment, when the pre-read pattern information of the hold that is the target of the performance (the corresponding hold) is Y120 or more (planned to execute SP1 reach 1 loss variation effect), the hold icon It is determined whether or not the second additional effect can be executed (see S33076). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the look-ahead pattern information of the hold that is the target of the effect (the corresponding hold) is Y110 (planned to execute the normal reach 1 loss variation effect) or more, it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon second additional effect. You can do it like this. In addition, even if it is determined whether or not to execute the hold icon second additional effect when the look-ahead pattern information of the hold that is the target of the effect (the corresponding hold) is Y130 (planned to execute the SP2 reach 1 loss variation effect) or higher. good.

In addition, in the hold icon second additional effect determination process of this embodiment, if all the look-ahead pattern information of holds that are ahead of the hold that is the target of the effect (the applicable hold) is equal to or less than Y102 (the loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed) In this case, it is determined whether or not to execute the second additional rendering of the pending icon (see S33077). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if all the pre-read pattern information of the holds that are ahead of the hold that is the target of the performance (the corresponding hold) is less than or equal to Y111 (the normal reach 2 loss variation effect is scheduled to be executed), the hold icon second additional effect It may also be possible to determine whether or not the execution is possible.

Further, the second hold icon additional effect of this embodiment is executed as an additional effect to the hold icon effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed as a performance different from the hold icon performance. In this case, the performance pattern of the pending icon is also defined in the performance pattern of the second additional performance of the pending icon.
