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.

A low-probability time-saving game state (hereinafter referred to as "low-probability time-saving state") is a game state in which the probability of winning a jackpot is the normal probability (low probability state), the probability of winning a normal symbol is a high probability higher than the normal probability, and the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol is a shortened fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as "time-saving state") that is shorter than the normal fluctuation time. The low-probability time-saving state ends when a transition to a jackpot state occurs or when a specified number of times (e.g., 100 times) of special symbol miss fluctuation displays have been made. The low-probability time-saving state is a game 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 big 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.

A small winning game state (hereinafter referred to as a "small winning state") means that when a small winning occurs, the opening/closing part is opened for a shorter time than when a big winning occurs, thereby opening the first large winning opening 10. This is a gaming state in which it is possible to win balls. For a small win, by opening the opening/closing part for a longer time than the first small win state and the first small win, more game balls can enter the first large prize opening 10 than for the first small win. There is a second small win state. The small winning state is a gaming state in which the player can obtain fewer game balls than the jackpot state.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the jackpot probability of the special symbol is 1/300 as a normal probability, 1/60 as a high probability, and 1/1200 as a small probability. Further, the percentage of probability variable jackpots that change to the variable probability state after the end of the jackpot state is 65%, and the percentage of normal jackpots that do not shift to the variable probability state after the end of the jackpot state is 35%.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 1 of this embodiment, in the normal state, it is preferable for the player to play the game by operating the firing handle 30 so that the game ball flows down the left game area 25A side.

The random value per figure is shifted and stored in the ordinary figure reservation 2 information, and the random value per ordinary figure stored in the ordinary figure reservation 4 information is shifted and stored in the ordinary figure reservation 3.

When the ordinary figure loss fluctuation display is performed, the ordinary figure display 4f displays that the ordinary figure has lost. On the other hand, when the fluctuation display is performed for winning a normal pattern, the normal pattern display 4f displays that it is a winning pattern. When a normal figure is won, the opening/closing piece of the second starting opening 7 is opened, so that a game ball can enter the second starting opening 7. When a game ball enters the second starting hole 7, a second number of prize balls is paid out.

When a game ball enters the general winning hole 9c, a fifth number of prize balls is paid out. When the game ball enters the second starting hole 7, a second number of prize balls are paid out. In addition, in accordance with the winning of the game ball into the second starting slot 7, judgment information is acquired and stored in the RAM 101b as the first special figure 2 reservation information (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2 reservation 1 information"). It is stored in the pending information storage area in FIG. Subsequently, the special figure 2 reservation 1 information is shifted to the special figure 2 variable display information and stored.

Subsequently, a jackpot determination is made, and if it is determined that the jackpot determination value matches the jackpot determination value, the above-mentioned jackpot type determination is performed. Next, a fluctuation pattern is determined. Furthermore, if the jackpot determination result is a jackpot, it is decided to execute the special figure 2 variation display based on the jackpot variation pattern, and if the jackpot determination result is a small hit, it is decided to execute the special figure 2 variation display based on the small hit variation pattern. However, if the jackpot determination result is a loss, it is determined to execute the special figure 2 fluctuation display based on the loss fluctuation pattern.

Subsequently, based on the jackpot determination result, the jackpot type determination result, the fluctuation pattern determination result, etc., a special figure 2 variation display is performed by the special figure 2 display 4b. Then, in synchronization with the special figure 2 variable display, a variable effect is performed using the first display area 20a and the variable display compatible display 5b.

[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 variable performance starts changing the performance pattern 21LCR in synchronization with the start of the change by the special chart display (special chart 1 display 4a, special chart 2 display 4b), and stops the performance pattern 21LCR at a combination of big win patterns, a combination of small win patterns, or a combination of losing patterns in synchronization with the stop of the change by the special chart display. Note that in this embodiment, the variable display by the special chart display and the variable performance by the first display area 20a etc. are sometimes collectively referred to as "variable display".

When the variable effect starts, the effect pattern 21LCR scrolls from top to bottom. Note that the direction in which the effect pattern 21LCR scrolls is not limited to this, and it may scroll from left to right, or from back to front as seen by the player, and the display method is not limited to scrolling.

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 guaranteed 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 end of the jackpot) 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 executing the SP ready-to-reach effect, there are two patterns: a pattern in which the SP ready-to-reach effect is executed after the normal reach effect, and a pattern in which the SP ready-to-reach effect is executed without performing the normal reach effect.

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.

Depending on the type of preview effect, the preview effect may include displaying text images, character images, etc. in the first display area 20a and second display area 27a, or changing the display mode of the variable icon 24a to a specific mode different from the normal mode. , effects that display letters, characters, etc. on the surface of the light guide plate, and devices that operate the panel movable device 26, frame side movable device 33, air blower 35a, and vibration device 36 (hereinafter referred to as "accessories"). ''), an effect by outputting a warning sound from the speaker 34, an effect by lighting the frame decorative lamp 32, the movable decorative lamp 33a, etc.

In addition, the preview performance includes, in one fluctuating performance, a fluctuating performance using the performance pattern 21LCR, a temporary stop of the performance pattern 21LCR due to a combination of losing symbols, and then a performance that starts the fluctuation of the performance pattern 21LCR again. There is a performance (hereinafter referred to as a "pseudo-continuous performance") that performs multiple times (hereinafter referred to as a "pseudo-continuous performance"). In addition, a pseudo continuous effect that is performed twice is called a ``pseudo 2 continuous effect'', a pseudo continuous effect that is performed 3 times is called a ``pseudo 3 continuous effect'', and a pseudo continuous effect that is performed 4 times is called a ``pseudo 4 continuous effect''. It's called "direction." In addition, the first pseudo fluctuation performance of a pseudo continuous performance is "Pseudo 1 fluctuation performance", the second pseudo fluctuation performance of a pseudo continuous performance is "Pseudo 2 fluctuation performance", and the third pseudo fluctuation performance of a pseudo continuous performance is "Pseudo 1 fluctuation performance". The fourth pseudo-variation performance of the pseudo-continuous performance is called the "pseudo-four-variation performance."

Depending on the type of look-ahead effect, the look-ahead effects include effects that display text images, character images, etc. in the first display area 20a and second display area 27a, effects that display letters, characters, etc. on the light guide plate surface, etc. , effects using accessories, effects by outputting pre-read effect sounds from the speaker 34, effects by lighting the frame decorative lamp 32, the movable decorative lamp 33a, etc. are performed.

In addition, in the look-ahead performance, each pending icon (Special 1 Ho 1 icon - Special 1 Ho 4 icon, Special 2 Ho 1 icon - Among the special 2 and 4 icons), one or more pending icons are changed to a special pending icon image (hereinafter referred to as "special pending icon") that is different from the normal pending icon image (hereinafter referred to as "normal pending icon"). There is an effect that is changed and displayed (hereinafter referred to as a "hold icon effect"). Note that the pending icon that is the target of the pending icon presentation is referred to as a "target pending icon" or "target icon." In addition, the look-ahead performance includes a performance in which a fluctuating icon is changed into a special fluctuating icon image (hereinafter referred to as a "special fluctuating icon") that is different from a normal fluctuating icon image (hereinafter referred to as a "normal fluctuating icon"). (hereinafter referred to as "fluctuation icon production"). Note that the pending icon presentation and the fluctuating icon presentation are collectively referred to as "icon presentation."

Another type of look-ahead effect is a type in which a pre-change that is executed before the target change is followed by a series of related effects leading up to the execution of the target change (hereafter referred to as "successive effects").

Next, the jackpot performance and the small win performance will be explained. The jackpot performance is a performance performed by the first display area 20a etc. in a jackpot state, and is composed of an opening performance, a mid-round performance, and an ending performance. The small hit performance is a performance executed by the first display area 20a etc. in a small win state. In addition, in the jackpot performance, a performance may be performed to notify that it is a variable probability jackpot (transition to a variable probability state after the jackpot ends).

The opening performance is a performance that is executed between the start of the jackpot state and the start of the first opening of the first big winning hole 10 or the second big winning hole 11 (hereinafter referred to as "1 round"). It is. Further, the mid-round performance is a performance performed from the start of one round until the end of the final round. Furthermore, the ending performance is a performance executed between the end of the final round and the start of the variable display.

Next, the customer waiting performance will be explained. The customer waiting performance is a performance executed by the first display area 20a etc. when a state in which the variable display has not started continues for a predetermined time (e.g., 60 seconds). The customer waiting performance displays explanatory images and PV (Promotion Video) images of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The customer waiting performance ends when the end condition is met (when a start winning occurs or when the first performance operation unit 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 judges whether the game information stored in the RAM 101b is normal or not. If it judges that the game information stored in the RAM 101b is normal, the CPU 101c executes a recovery process to restore the game state (game situation) at the time of the power outage based on the game information stored in the RAM 101b. On the other hand, if it judges that the game information stored in the RAM 101b is not normal, it executes an initialization process. The CPU 101c outputs a recovery command to the performance control board 120 (performance control microcomputer 121) in response to 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 situation) at the time of the power outage. The performance control microcomputer 121 notifies that recovery is in progress by displaying a recovery notification image in the first display area 20a, lighting up the recovery notification by the decorative lamp 32, and outputting a recovery sound by the speaker 34.

When the initialization process or recovery process is completed, the CPU 101c outputs a performance control command to the performance control board 120 indicating that the process has been completed. Next, the CPU 101c executes the initial settings of the random number circuit, and then enables interrupts, causing the CPU 101c to execute timer interrupt processing periodically (e.g., 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, a payout process of prize balls 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 pending information and special figure 2 pending 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 the 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 the payout control command stored in the payout control command storage area to the payout control board. Performs output processing of 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.

When the first start winning is confirmed, the start winning process obtains the judgment information (jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuation pattern random number, etc.) and stores it as special chart 1 reserved information in the currently highest free area of the special chart 1 reserved information storage area (areas 1 to 4) of RAM 101b. Also, when the second start winning is confirmed, the judgment information (jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuation pattern random number, etc.) is obtained and stored as special chart 2 reserved information in the currently highest free area of the special chart 2 reserved information storage area (areas 1 to 4) of RAM 101b. Next, the special chart 1 reserved information or special chart 2 reserved information is read in advance (the fluctuation pattern of the planned variable display is confirmed from the jackpot random number, jackpot type random number, fluctuation pattern random number, etc.) to perform a start winning judgment (pre-read judgment). Next, based on information indicating whether it is a special chart 1 start winning or a special chart 2 start winning, the number of reserved memories, look-ahead judgment information (information on the jackpot judgment result, information on the fluctuation pattern (look-ahead pattern information)), etc., a start winning command (first start winning command, second start winning command) is generated as a performance control command and stored in the performance control command memory area of RAM 101b. The first start winning command and second start winning command stored in the performance control command memory area are output to the performance control board 120 by the command output process (S1700) described above.

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 process (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 pre-processing is executed (S1430). The special figure fluctuation pre-processing is a process executed before the start of the special figure fluctuation 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 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 composed 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. An end 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 processing, first, a jackpot end command is generated as a production control command indicating an ending time, etc., and is stored in the production 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 command output process (S1700) described above. Next, measure the ending elapsed time. Then, when the measured ending elapsed time matches the ending time, the game 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 details 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 winning 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 winning 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), the value of the special figure execution data is updated to 0, and then 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 processing)
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 up the initialization notification using the decorative lamp 32, and outputting an initialization sound from 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 notification during restoration 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 operating section detection sensor 31c, the second operating section detection sensor 31d, and the other operating section detection sensor 37a.

Next, a command analysis process is executed (S2400). The command analysis process analyzes the contents of the performance control command stored in the performance control command storage area of RAM 121b in the above-mentioned reception interrupt process (S2100). In the command analysis process, the performance control command stored in the performance control command storage area is read out and control is executed according to the information contained in the performance control command. This control is, for example, a process of storing the received performance control command in the RAM 121b in a special chart 1 reservation memory area (special chart 1 reservation 1 memory area (special chart 1 reservation 1) to special chart 1 reservation 4 memory area (special chart 1 reservation 4)), a special chart 2 reservation memory area (special chart 2 reservation 1 memory area (special chart 2 reservation 1) to special chart 2 reservation 4 memory area (special chart 2 reservation 4)), a variable performance memory area, a big win performance memory area, etc., in order to use the received performance control command for performance processing, etc., and various setting processes, etc.

Next, 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 presentation processing is completed, the value of the presentation processing data is changed to the value before shifting to the starting winning presentation 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 fluctuation performance start process and the process during the fluctuation performance, if there is a look-ahead performance to be executed (a look-ahead performance to be executed between the start of the fluctuation performance and a temporary stop) based on the look-ahead performance pattern information, the display control unit 122 , the decoration control unit 123 and the sound control unit 124 execute pre-reading effect control.

When the value of the performance processing data is 2, a variable performance stop process is executed (S3400). The variation effect stop processing 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 a "waiting for reception 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.

When the value of the performance processing data is 3, a jackpot performance process is executed (S3500). The jackpot performance process includes an opening performance process, a round start performance process, a mid-round performance process, a round end performance process, and an ending performance process. Based on the reception of the jackpot start command, the process shifts to opening performance processing. In this opening performance processing, an opening performance pattern consisting of the type and contents of the opening performance, etc. is determined and stored in the RAM 121b as opening performance pattern information in the performance control information. Next, based on the opening performance pattern information, the display control section 122, decoration control section 123, and sound control section 124 execute the opening performance.

Subsequently, based on reception of the round start command, the process moves to round start effect processing. In this round start process, a round performance pattern consisting of the type and content of the round performance depending on the number of rounds (for example, the first round performance pattern when starting the first round, and the second round performance pattern when starting the second round) ) is determined and stored in the RAM 121b as round performance pattern information in the performance control 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. In this round end effect processing, a round end effect pattern consisting of the type and content of the round end effect depending on the number of rounds (for example, the first round end effect pattern when the first round ends, and the round end effect pattern when the second round ends) A second round end effect pattern) is determined and stored in the RAM 121b as round end effect pattern information in the effect control information. Next, based on the round end effect pattern information, the display control section 122, decoration control section 123, and sound control section 124 execute a round end effect.

In addition, in the jackpot performance, it is determined whether or not to execute the winning performance based on the reception of the first winning command or the second winning command, and if it is determined that the winning performance is to be executed, a winning performance consisting of a winning image, winning sound, etc. The winning performance pattern is stored as winning performance pattern information in the performance control information.

When the value of the performance processing data is 4, a jackpot end performance process is executed (S3600). In the jackpot end effect processing, based on the reception of the jackpot end command, an ending effect pattern consisting of the type and content of the ending effect is determined and stored in the RAM 121b as ending effect pattern information in the effect control information. Subsequently, based on the ending effect pattern information, the display control section 122, decoration control section 123, and sound control section 124 execute the ending effect. When the jackpot end effect processing is completed, the machine enters a reception waiting state.

When the value of the performance processing data is 5, a small winning performance process is executed (S3700). In the small win performance processing, based on the reception of the small win start command, a small win performance pattern consisting of the type and content of the small win performance is determined and stored in the RAM 121b as small win performance pattern information in the performance control information.

[Type of fluctuation pattern]
Next, types of fluctuation patterns will be explained. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing examples of types of variation patterns of special figure variation displays (special figure 1 variation display, special figure 2 variation display). This Figure 7 shows the jackpot determination results (big hit, small hit, loss), fluctuation pattern information, determination ratio of each fluctuation pattern, look-ahead pattern information, and fluctuation time in association with the gaming state (normal state, time saving state). There is. It also shows the type of variable performance executed during the variable display based on each variable pattern information and the content of the variable performance. For example, in the normal state, when the variation pattern P120 is determined, a special symbol variation display for 60 seconds is executed, and SP1 reach loss 1 variation effect is executed. Further, for example, when the variation pattern P201 is selected in the time saving state, a special symbol variation display for 8 seconds is executed, and a loss variation effect is executed.

The determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern when it is determined to be a jackpot in the normal state is fluctuation pattern P171 (40%) > P170 (27%) > P161 (15%) > P160 (12%) > P116 (4%) > P115 (2%). In addition, the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern when it is determined to be a loss in the normal state is the fluctuation pattern P100 to P102 (60%) > P110 (13%) > P111 (10%) > P120 (7%) > P121 (5 %)>P130 (3%)>P131 (2%).

Further, the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern when it is determined to be a jackpot in the time saving state is in the order of fluctuation pattern P280 (50%)>P270 (25%)>P215 (15%)>P250 (10%). In addition, the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern when it is determined to be a loss in the time-saving state is in the order of fluctuation patterns P200, P201 (60%) > P210 (30%) > P220 (8%) > P230 (2%). .

[Variation effects]
Next, the variable performance will be described. Figures 8A to 8D are diagrams showing examples of variable performance in a normal state. Also, Figures 9A to 9C are diagrams showing examples of variable performance in a time-saving state. "T○○" in Figures 8A to 9C indicates a time when an additional performance (such as a pre-reading performance or a variable performance) that can be attached to the variable performance can be executed (hereinafter referred to as "ancillary performance execution time"). Note that, for example, some of the additional performance execution times are arranged at equal intervals, such as T31 to T36 in Figure 8B (a), but this is only arranged at equal intervals for convenience and does not limit the time interval. Also, the additional performance execution time shown in Figures 8A to 9C may be the additional performance end time, such as when the additional performance starts at T43 and ends at T45.

(Changes in normal state)

[Modification 1]
Here, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment described above 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 paying out game balls, but is not limited to this, and can be a "pachinko gaming machine" that has a function of storing game balls as points without paying them out. 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 game 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 due to fluctuation patterns P100, P200, P205, the fluctuation time of 12s due to fluctuation patterns P110, P115, P210, P215, the fluctuation time of 18s due to fluctuation patterns P111, P116, the fluctuation time of 60s due to 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 .

Also, as described above, if the fluctuation times of the fluctuation patterns are set to be different for each fluctuation pattern, or if only some of the fluctuation patterns are set to be different, all of the additional performance execution times for each fluctuation pattern shown in Figures 8A to 9C, or some of the additional performance execution times, may be different for each fluctuation pattern (for example, fluctuation patterns P120 and P160 in Figure 8C (a) may have all additional performance execution times T51 to T64 different, or only T54, T56, and T60 different).

[Example of pseudo continuous development]
Next, an example of a pseudo continuous development effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10D. The pseudo-continuous development performance is a performance that informs whether or not to develop into the next pseudo-variation performance (continuation of the pseudo-variation performance). The pseudo continuous development performance includes a first pseudo continuous development performance, a second pseudo continuous development performance, and a third pseudo continuous development performance.

FIG. 10A(a) shows a left effect pattern temporary stop state in which the left effect pattern 21L is temporarily stopped and the middle effect pattern 21C and the right effect pattern 21R are fluctuating. Further, FIG. 10A(b) shows a ready-to-reach state in which the left presentation symbol 21L and the right presentation symbol 21R are temporarily stopped in a ready-to-reach mode. Further, FIG. 10A(c) shows a reach-missing state in which the left presentation symbol 21L, right presentation symbol 21R, and right presentation symbol 21C are temporarily stopped due to the reach-missing mode.

First, in the reach state shown in FIG. 10A(b), the first pseudo continuous development effect is shown in FIG. 10A(d-2), or the second pseudo continuous development effect is shown in FIG. 10A(d-1). may be executed.

Furthermore, in the left effect symbol stopped state shown in FIG. 10A(a), a second pseudo continuous development effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 10A(d-1).

Further, in the reach loss state shown in FIG. 10A(c), a third pseudo continuous development performance may be executed as shown in FIG. 10A(d-3).

Then, when the first to third pseudo continuous development performances are executed, pseudo 2 variation production (Fig. 10A (e-1), pseudo 3 variation production (Fig. 10A (e-2)), or pseudo 4 variation production (Fig. 10A (e-2)), FIG. 10A(e-2) is executed.

Next, an example of the first pseudo continuous development effect will be described with reference to FIG. 10B. In the first pseudo-sequence development effect, first, as shown in FIG. 10B(a), a first speech bubble image GS1 displaying the line "pseudo-series..." is displayed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10B(b), a second balloon image GS2 is displayed that is larger than the first balloon image GS1 and has the line "pseudo-ren..." displayed thereon.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10B(c), a third speech bubble image GS3 is displayed larger than the second speech bubble image GS2, displaying the words "Maybe it's a pseudo-consecutive...". Note that the effects shown in FIG. 10B(a) to (d) are referred to as the first pseudo-consecutive development suggestion effect.

Then, when developing the next pseudo-variation effect, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position as shown in FIG. 10B(d). Further, the effect image EF1 is displayed in accordance with the movement of the in-panel movable device 26 to the second position. By executing such a performance, the player is informed that it has been determined that the next pseudo-variation performance will develop.

Subsequently, when developing into a pseudo 2-variation performance, a performance is performed to notify that the process will develop into a pseudo 2-variation performance, as shown in FIG. 10B (e-1). In addition, when it develops into a pseudo 3-variation performance, a performance is performed to notify that it will develop into a pseudo 3-variation performance, as shown in FIG. 10B (e-2). In addition, when it develops into a pseudo 4-variation performance, a performance is performed to notify that it will develop into a pseudo 4-variation performance, as shown in FIG. 10B (e-3). In addition, the effects shown in FIGS. 10B(d) to 10B(e-1), the effects shown in FIGS. 10B(d) to 10B(e-2), and the effects shown in FIGS. 10B(d) to 10B(e-3) The performance is called the first pseudo-continuous development confirmed performance.

On the other hand, if it does not develop into the next pseudo-fluctuation effect, a ready-to-reach state is reached as shown in FIG. 10B(f). In this way, a performance in which the first pseudo-continuation development confirmation performance is not executed after the first pseudo-continuation development suggestion performance is executed is referred to as a first pseudo-continuation development failure performance.

Next, an example of the second pseudo continuous development effect will be described with reference to FIG. 10C. In the second pseudo linked development performance, first, as shown in FIG. 10C(a), by displaying an operation promotion image BP1 consisting of an image imitating the first performance operation section 31a and a gauge image indicating the operation validity period, A performance that prompts the player to operate the first performance operation section 31a is executed. Note that the performances shown in FIGS. 10C(a) to (b) are referred to as second pseudo-connection development suggestion performances.

Subsequently, in the case of developing the next pseudo-variable performance, after the player operates the first performance operation section 31a or after the effective operation time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 10C(b), the board movable The device 26 is moved to the second position. Further, the effect image EF1 is displayed in accordance with the movement of the in-panel movable device 26 to the second position. By executing such a performance, the player is informed that it has been determined that the next pseudo-variation performance will develop.

Next, if the pseudo 2-change presentation develops, a presentation is executed to notify the user that the presentation will develop into a pseudo 2-change presentation, as shown in FIG. 10C (c-1). If the pseudo 3-change presentation develops, a presentation is executed to notify the user that the presentation will develop into a pseudo 3-change presentation, as shown in FIG. 10C (c-2). If the pseudo 4-change presentation develops, a presentation is executed to notify the user that the presentation will develop into a pseudo 4-change presentation, as shown in FIG. 10C (c-3). The presentations from FIG. 10C (b) to FIG. 10C (c-1), from FIG. 10C (b) to FIG. 10C (c-2), and from FIG. 10C (b) to FIG. 10C (c-3) are referred to as the second pseudo consecutive development confirmation presentations.

On the other hand, if it does not develop into the next pseudo-fluctuation effect, a ready-to-reach state is reached as shown in FIG. 10C(d). In this way, a performance in which the second pseudo-continuation development confirmation performance is not executed after the second pseudo-continuation development suggestion performance is executed is referred to as a second pseudo-continuation development failure performance.

Next, an example of the third pseudo continuous development effect will be described with reference to FIG. 10D. In the third pseudo-continuation development production, as shown in FIG. 10D(a), by displaying the speech bubble image GR1 displaying the line "Pseudo-continuation!", it is confirmed that the next pseudo-variation production will develop. Notify the player of what has happened.

Subsequently, when developing into a pseudo 2-variation performance, a performance is performed to notify that the process will develop into a pseudo 2-variation performance, as shown in FIG. 10D (b-1). In addition, when it develops into a pseudo 3-variation performance, a performance is performed to notify that it will develop into a pseudo 3-variation performance, as shown in FIG. 10D (b-2). In addition, when it develops into a pseudo 4-variation performance, a performance is executed to notify that it will develop into a pseudo 4-variation performance, as shown in FIG. 10D (b-3). Note that when the third pseudo-continuous development effect is executed, it will definitely develop into the next pseudo-variation effect. That is, if it does not develop into the next pseudo fluctuating performance, the execution of the third pseudo continuous development performance is restricted (not executed).

[Example of rank-up effect]
Next, an example of the rank-up effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 11. The rank-up performance is a performance that suggests the expectation of a jackpot in a variable display, and is a performance that increases the rank within the range from rank 1, which is the initial rank, to rank 5, which is the maximum rank. Further, the rank-up performance includes a rank-up performance (first rank-up performance) executed as a look-ahead performance, and a rank-up performance (second rank-up performance) executed as a fluctuating performance.

Regarding ranks 1 to 4, the expected level of jackpot for the current variable display may be suggested as a fluctuating effect, or the expected level of a jackpot for subsequent variable displays may be suggested as a look-ahead effect. Further, when the SP2 reach effect is executed in the current variable display (when the variable display according to the variable patterns P130, 131, 170, 171 is executed), the rank increases to rank 5. On the other hand, if the SP2 reach effect is not executed in this variable display, the rank will not increase to rank 5. Therefore, rank 5 is a performance that notifies the player that the SP2 reach performance, which is a performance with high expectations for a jackpot, will be executed.

FIG. 11(a) shows a rank 1 notification effect for notifying rank 1, which is the initial rank. When it is rank 1, rank 1 notification image RK1 is displayed.

FIG. 11(b) shows a performance mode of a rank 2 up performance that is executed when the rank increases from rank 1 to rank 2. In the rank 2 up effect, first, a rank up suggestion image EF2 that suggests that the rank will increase is displayed, thereby performing a rank up suggestion effect.

Subsequently, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position, and a rank 2 notification image and an effect image are displayed to notify that the in-panel movable device 26 has been moved to the second position and has been elevated to rank 2. By displaying the rank 2 confirmed image EF21, the rank 2 confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, if the rank does not rise to rank 2 (rank up fails), the rank 2 confirmation effect is not executed.

When the rank 2 confirmation effect is executed, the rank 2 notification effect is executed by displaying the rank 2 notification image RK2 that informs that the rank is 2.

FIG. 11(c) shows a performance mode of a rank 3 up performance performed when the rank increases from rank 1 or rank 2 to rank 3. In the rank 3 increase effect, first, a rank increase suggestion image EF2 that suggests that the rank will increase to rank 3 is displayed, thereby executing the rank increase suggestion effect.

Subsequently, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position, and a rank 3 notification image and an effect image are provided to notify that the in-panel movable device 26 has been moved to the second position and has been increased to rank 3. By displaying the rank 3 confirmed image EF23, a rank 3 confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, if the rank does not rise to 3, the rank 3 confirmation effect is not executed.

When the rank 3 confirmation performance is executed, the rank 3 notification performance is executed by displaying a rank 3 notification image RK3 that notifies that the rank is 3.

FIG. 11(d) shows a performance mode of a rank 4 up performance performed when the rank increases from rank 1, rank 2, or rank 3 to rank 4. In the rank 4 up effect, the rank up suggestion effect is first performed by displaying the rank up suggestion image EF2 that suggests that the rank will increase.

Subsequently, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position, and a rank 4 notification image and an effect image are displayed to notify that the in-panel movable device 26 has been moved to the second position and has been increased to rank 4. By displaying the rank 4 confirmed image EF24, the rank 4 confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, if the rank does not rise to rank 4, the rank 4 confirmation effect is not executed.

When the rank 4 confirmation effect is executed, the rank 4 notification effect is executed by displaying the rank 4 notification image RK4, which notifies the player that the rank is 4.

FIG. 11(e) shows a performance mode of a rank 5 up performance that is executed when the rank increases from rank 1, rank 2, rank 3, or rank 4 to rank 5. In the rank 5 increase effect, the rank increase suggestion effect is first performed by displaying the rank increase suggestion image EF2 that suggests that the rank will increase.

Subsequently, the in-panel movable device 26 is moved to the second position, and a rank 5 notification image and an effect image are displayed to notify that the in-panel movable device 26 has been moved to the second position and has been increased to rank 5. By displaying the rank 5 confirmed image EF24, a rank 5 confirmed effect is executed. On the other hand, if the rank does not rise to 5, the rank 5 confirmation effect is not executed.

When the rank 5 confirmation performance is executed, the rank 5 notification performance is executed by displaying a rank 5 notification image RK5 that notifies that the rank is 5.

In addition, there is also a presentation mode in which the rank 5 up effect for rank 5 executes a rank up confirmation effect without executing a rank up suggestion effect (presentation mode when executing a rank up 5 effect in effect 3 in Figure 24F (b) and Figure 24G, which will be described later, and effect 4 in Figure 24H and I).

Further, a performance in which the rank 2 to 5 confirmation performance is not executed after the rank-up suggestion performance is executed is called a rank-up failure performance.

[Example of winning/losing decision performance]
Next, an example of a winning/losing performance, which is a winning performance executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, will be explained with reference to FIG. 12. The win/loss determination performance is a performance that notifies the player of whether or not the variable display will result in a jackpot, and is a performance that is executed when the SP1 reach performance and SP2 reach performance are executed, and is a performance that informs the player whether or not the variable display will result in a jackpot. This is a performance to notify whether or not it is true.

As shown in FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b), in the winning/losing performance, first, the winning/losing decision is an image in which images imitating a plurality of first performance operation parts 31a are rotated and gradually concentrated in the center. By displaying the suggestion image KE, a winning/losing decision suggestion effect is executed. Note that at this point, the first performance operation section 31a is in a light-off state.

When performing the first win/lose effect following the win/lose suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 12(c-1), first, the first operation mode image BP11, which is an image imitating the first effect operation part 31a lit in blue, is displayed. is displayed, and the first effect operation section 31a is lit in blue.

[Ahead production decision processing]
Next, the look-ahead performance determination process executed in the start 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 prefetch effect determination process, first, it confirms new prefetch pattern information (S3211).

Next, it is determined whether or not to execute the reserved icon effect (S3212). In this process, it is determined whether or not to execute the reserved icon effect in the normal state and whether or not to execute the reserved icon effect in the time-saving state, based on the determination ratio specified in the table for determining whether or not to execute the reserved icon effect shown in FIG. 15.

Here, an example of the pending icon effect execution determination table will be described with reference to FIG. 15. FIG. 15(a) is a table 1 for determining the execution of a pending icon effect used in the normal state, and FIG. 15(b) is a table 2 for determining the execution of a pending icon effect used in the time saving state.

In the table 1 for determining execution of pending icon presentation shown in FIG. 15(a), the determination ratio (assignment of judgment value) of whether or not to execute the pending icon presentation is associated with the prefetch pattern information in the normal state. . Further, in the table 2 for determining the execution of pending icon presentation shown in FIG. 15(b), the determination ratio of whether or not to execute the pending icon presentation is associated with the prefetch pattern information in the normal state.

Next, it is determined whether or not a decision has been made to execute the hold icon presentation (S3213). If it is determined that a decision has been made to execute the hold icon presentation, the process proceeds to S3214. On the other hand, if it is determined that a decision has been made not to execute the hold icon presentation, the process proceeds 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. 16A to 16D.

Here, an example of the pending icon effect determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 16A to 16D. The pending icon performance determining table includes a pending icon performance determining table 1 (FIG. 16A) used in the normal state, a pending icon performance determining table 2 (FIG. 16B), and a pending icon performance determining table 3 (FIG. 16B) used in the time saving state. FIG. 16C) and table 4 for determining pending icon effects (FIG. 16D).

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, if the prefetch pattern information indicates that 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, as an exception, the display mode of the pending icon may be "green" even when a normal reach 1 jackpot variable effect or a normal reach 2 jackpot variable effect is scheduled to be executed.

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, basically, 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, as an exception, the display mode of the pending icon may be "red" or higher even when a non-reach jackpot variable effect or a normal reach 3 jackpot variable effect is scheduled to be executed.

If it is determined not to perform the hold icon performance (S3213: NO), the display mode of the hold icon is normal display from the time of starting winning to hold 1 (Special drawing 1 holding 1, special drawing 2 holding 1) Display depending on the mode. On the other hand, if it is determined to perform the hold icon effect (S3213: YES), it is displayed in a special display mode until hold 1 (special figure 1 hold 1, special figure 2 hold 1).

Figure 16A shows reserved icon presentation determination table 1 that is used to determine the reserved icon presentation pattern when the new special chart 1 reservation in the normal state is special chart 1 reservation 3 (reservation 3) or special chart 1 reservation 4 (reservation 4).

In this pending icon performance determination table 1, each of the prefetch pattern information (Y100 to Y171) is associated with the pending icon performance patterns PA01 to PA17 and the determination ratio (assignment of a judgment value) of each pending icon performance pattern. ing. 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.

The first feature of this hold icon effect determination table 1 is that if the special figure 1 hold that is displayed when a winning is started is special figure 1 hold 3 (special figure 1 hold 4), special figure 1 hold 3 In (Special Figure 1 Hold 4), the hold icon is displayed in the normal mode "white", and in Special Figure 1 Hold 2, the hold icon is changed to the special mode and displayed at a higher rate (Special Figure 1 Hold 3). Or, it is stipulated to be higher than the rate at which the hold icon is changed to a special mode and displayed from special drawing 1 hold 4). In addition, the second feature is that the special figure 1 reserve that is displayed when you start winning is special figure 1 reserve 3 (or special figure 1 reserve 4), and the display mode when special figure 1 reserve 1 is the same color. In the case of a special mode, it is better to display the pending icon from special drawing 1 holding 3 (or special drawing 1 holding 4) in a special mode than when the holding icon from special drawing 1 holding 2 is displayed in a special mode. It is stipulated that the expectation level of jackpot is higher than the above.

FIG. 16B 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 effect.

In this pending icon performance determination table 2, each of the prefetch pattern information (Y100 to Y171) is associated with the pending icon performance patterns PA21 to PA31 and the determination ratio of each pending icon performance pattern. 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.

The first feature of this reservation icon production determination table 2 is that when the special figure 1 reservation displayed when a winning is started is special figure 1 reservation 2, the reservation icon is changed to the normal mode in the special figure 1 reservation 2. , and the percentage of displaying the pending icon changed to the special mode in special drawing 1 pending 1 is higher than the percentage of displaying the pending icon changed to the special mode from special drawing 1 pending 2. It is stipulated that the price should be higher. In addition, the second feature is that when the special figure 1 reservation that is displayed when a starting prize is won is special figure 1 reservation 2, and the display mode when it is special figure 1 reservation 1 is a special mode of the same color, It is stipulated that when the hold icon from Figure 1 hold 2 is displayed in a special manner, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the hold icon from special drawing 1 hold 1 is displayed in a special manner. be.

FIG. 16C shows how to determine the hold icon performance pattern when the new special figure 2 hold information in the time saving state is the special figure 2 hold 3 information (hold 1) or the special figure 2 hold 4 information (hold 2). This is a table 3 for determining a pending icon effect used for.

In this pending icon performance determination table 3, each of the pre-read pattern information (Y200 to Y280) is associated with the pending icon performance patterns PA41 to PA49 and the determination ratio of each pending icon performance pattern. 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.

The first feature of this reservation icon effect determination table 3 is that if the special figure 2 reservation displayed when a winning is started is special figure 2 reservation 3 (special figure 2 reservation 4), special figure 2 reservation 3 In (Special Figure 2 Hold 4), the hold icon is displayed in the normal mode "white", and in Special Figure 2 Hold 2 the hold icon is changed to the special mode and displayed at a higher rate (Special Figure 2 Hold 3). This is stipulated to be higher than the rate at which the hold icon is changed to a special mode and displayed from special drawing 2 hold 4). In addition, the second feature is that the special drawing 2 holding that is displayed when a starting prize is won is special drawing 2 holding 3 (special drawing 2 holding 4), and the display mode when special drawing 2 holding 1 is the same color. In the case of a special mode, it is better when the hold icon from special figure 2 hold 3 (or special figure 2 hold 4) is displayed in a special mode than when the hold icon from special figure 2 hold 2 is displayed in a special mode. It is also stipulated that the expectation of jackpot is high.

FIG. 16D 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 effect.

In this pending icon performance determination table 4, each of the pre-read pattern information (Y200 to Y280) is associated with the pending icon performance patterns PA51 to PA58 and the determination ratio of each pending icon performance pattern. 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.

The first feature of this reservation icon performance determination table 4 is that when the special figure 2 reservation displayed when a winning is started is special figure 1 reservation 2, the reservation icon in the special figure 2 reservation 2 is changed to the normal mode. The percentage of displaying in "white" and changing the pending icon to the special mode in special drawing 2 pending 1 is higher than the percentage of changing the pending icon to the special mode and displaying it from special drawing 2 pending 2. That's expensive. In addition, the second feature is that when the special figure 1 reservation that is displayed when a starting prize is won is the special figure 2 reservation 2, and the display mode when it is special figure 2 reservation 1 is a special mode of the same color. It is stipulated that when the hold icon from Figure 2 hold 2 is displayed in a special manner, the jackpot expectation level is higher than when the hold icon from special drawing 2 hold 1 is displayed in a special manner. be.

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

Subsequently, it is determined whether the gaming state is a time saving state (S3216). If it is determined that the gaming state is the time saving state, the process advances to S3218. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gaming state is not the time saving state (it is the normal state), the process advances to S3217.

Subsequently, a first rank-up effect determination process is executed (S3217). This first rank-up effect determination process will be described later using FIG. 17.

Subsequently, other pre-read effect determination processing is executed (S3218). Other pre-read performance determination processing determines whether or not other pre-read performances other than the pending icon performance and the first rank-up performance can be executed, the types of other pre-read performances to be executed, and the pre-read performance contents of each of the other pre-read performances.

Subsequently, a prefetch effect data storage process is executed (S3219). In this pre-read effect data storage process, performance data for executing the reserved icon effect, the first rank up effect, and other pre-read effects are stored in the RAM 121b as pre-read effect pattern information. When this process is completed, the pre-read effect determination process is completed.

[1st rank up performance determination process]
Next, an example of the first rank up performance determining process executed in S3217 of the above-mentioned pre-reading performance determining process (see FIG. 13) will be described with reference to FIG. 17. In this first rank up effect determination process, first. Determine whether or not to execute the first rank-up effect. When it is determined to perform the first rank-up performance, the content of the performance (first rank-up performance pattern) of the first rank-up performance is determined.

When the CPU 121C starts the first rank-up effect determination process, it first determines whether the number of pending memories is two or more (S32171). If it is determined that the number of pending memories is two or more, the process advances to S32172. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of pending memories is less than two, the first rank-up performance determining process is ended.

If it is determined in S32171 that the number of pending memories is two or more, it is determined whether the prefetch pattern information is Y111 or more (S32172). If it is determined that the prefetch pattern information is equal to or greater than Y111, the process advances to S32173. On the other hand, if it is determined that the pre-read pattern information is less than Y111, the first rank up performance determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S32172 that the prefetch pattern information is Y111 or more, it is determined whether the first rank-up effect is being executed or whether there is a plan to execute the first rank-up effect (S32173). In this process, by checking the look-ahead effect pattern information, variable effect pattern information, etc. associated with the previous pending memory, it is determined that the first rank-up effect is currently being executed or that the first rank-up effect is scheduled to be executed. Determine whether or not. Then, when it is determined that the first rank-up performance is being executed or that the first rank-up performance is scheduled to be performed, the first rank-up performance determination process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first rank-up effect is not being executed and there is no plan to execute the first rank-up effect, the process advances to S32174.

If it is determined in S32173 that the first rank-up effect is not being executed and that there is no plan to execute the first rank-up effect, it is determined whether or not the second rank-up effect is being executed (S32174). In this process, it is determined whether or not the second rank-up effect is being executed by checking variable effect pattern information, etc. Then, if it is determined that the second rank-up effect is being executed, the first rank-up effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second rank-up effect is not being executed, the process proceeds to S32175.

If it is determined in S32174 that the second rank-up effect is not being executed, it is determined whether the prefetch pattern information associated with all previous pending memories is equal to or less than Y111 (S32175). If it is determined that the prefetch pattern information associated with all previous pending memories is equal to or less than Y111, the process advances to S32176. On the other hand, when it is determined that the prefetch pattern information associated with all the previous pending memories is not Y111 or lower (prefetch pattern information of Y115 or higher is stored), the first rank up effect determining process is ended.

In S32175, when it is determined that the prefetch pattern information associated with all previous pending memories is Y111 or less, it is determined whether or not to execute the first rank up effect (S32176). Note that a feature of the first rank-up performance determining process is that the process of determining whether or not to execute the first rank-up performance is performed after executing the processes of S32171 to S32175. In the process of S32176, it is determined whether or not the first rank-up performance can be executed based on the determination ratio specified in the first rank-up performance execution determination table shown in FIG. Note that in this process, if it is determined not to perform the first rank up effect, the rank before the start of the target change is set to rank 1.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a table for determining the execution of the first rank-up effect. In this first rank-up effect execution determination table, a determination ratio (assignment of a determination value) of whether or not to execute the first rank-up effect is associated with the pre-read pattern information.

The feature of this table for deciding whether to execute the first rank-up effect is that the rate at which the first rank-up effect will be executed increases as the probability of a jackpot for the variable display that is scheduled to be executed increases.

Subsequently, it is determined whether it has been decided to perform the first rank up effect (S32177). If it is determined that it has been decided to perform the first rank up effect, the process advances to S32178. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first rank up performance is not to be performed, the first rank up performance determination process is ended.

If it is determined in S32178 that the first rank-up effect is to be executed, a first rank-up effect pattern is determined (S32178). In this process, a first rank-up effect pattern is determined using the first rank-up effect determination table shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B.

Here, an example of the first rank-up effect determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 19A and 19B. The first rank-up effect determination table includes the first rank-up effect determination table 1 (FIG. 19A), the first rank-up effect determination table 2 (FIG. 19B(a)), and the first rank-up effect determination table 3. (Fig. 19B(b)).

The feature of these tables for determining the first rank up effect is that as the expected jackpot of the scheduled change display increases, the first rank up will increase to rank 3 before the start of the target change or rank 4 before the start of the target change. This means that the proportion of performance patterns determined increases. In addition, although the first rank-up performance pattern that raises the rank up to rank 4 before the start of target change is specified, the first rank-up performance pattern that raises the rank to rank 5 before the start of target change is not specified. This means that the rank is restricted (not raised) to rank 5 before the start of the target change.

The first rank-up performance is a preliminary variation performance that is executed before the target variation performance that is the look-ahead target, by raising the rank within the range from rank 1 to rank 4. This is a look-ahead performance that increases the anticipation of a jackpot. However, since the first rank-up performance, which is a look-ahead performance, and the second rank-up performance, which is a fluctuating performance, are similar performances, the player may wonder if the rank-up performance currently being executed is the first rank-up performance. This is a performance that is difficult to recognize as a second rank-up performance.

In addition, in the second rank-up effect, the above-mentioned failed rank-up effect may be executed, but in the first rank-up effect, the failed rank-up effect is not executed.

In addition, when executing the preliminary variation effect based on the variation pattern P100, the first rank up effect is executed at the incidental effect execution time T2, and when executing the advance variation effect based on the variation pattern P101, the first rank up effect is executed at the incidental effect execution time T12. When performing a 1-rank up performance and performing a preliminary variation performance based on the variation pattern P102, when executing the first rank up performance at the incidental performance execution time T22 and performing a preliminary variation performance based on the variation pattern P110, when performing the preliminary variation performance based on the variation pattern P110, the incidental A first rank-up performance is executed at performance execution time T32.

In this first rank-up effect determination table 1, for each pre-read pattern information (Y111 to Y171), first rank-up effect patterns RU01 to RU11 and the determination ratio (determination value of allocation) are associated. In addition, for each first rank-up performance pattern, the content of the first rank-up performance to be executed from the three-variation-before variation performance to the one-variation-before variation performance of the target variation performance that is the look-ahead target is defined. . Further, for each first rank-up effect pattern, a rank before the start of the target change is defined, which is referred to in a second rank-up effect determination process to be described later.

Next, FIG. 19B(a) shows the first rank-up effect determination used when determining the first rank-up effect pattern when the new special figure 1 hold is special figure 1 hold 3 (hold 3). This is table 2 for use.

In this first rank-up effect determination table 2, the first rank-up effect patterns RU21 to RU26 and the determination ratio of each first rank-up effect pattern are associated with each pre-read pattern information (Y111 to Y171). ing. Furthermore, for each first rank-up performance pattern, the performance contents of the first rank-up performance to be executed in the fluctuation performance two fluctuations before the target fluctuation performance that is the look-ahead target and the fluctuation performance one fluctuation before the target fluctuation performance are defined. . Further, for each first rank-up effect pattern, a rank before the start of the target change is defined, which is referred to in a second rank-up effect determination process to be described later.

Next, FIG. 19B(b) shows the first rank-up effect determination used when determining the first rank-up effect pattern when the new special figure 1 hold is special figure 1 hold 2 (hold 2). This is table 3.

In this first rank-up performance determination table 3, the first rank-up performance patterns RU31 to RU33 and the determination ratio of each first rank-up performance pattern are associated with each pre-read pattern information (Y111 to Y171). ing. Furthermore, for each first rank-up performance pattern, the content of the first rank-up performance to be executed in the variation performance one variation before the target variation performance that is the prefetch target is defined. Further, for each first rank-up performance pattern, a rank before the start of target variation is defined, which is referred to in a second rank-up performance determination process to be described later.

When the first rank-up performance pattern is determined through the process of S32178, the determined first rank-up performance pattern is set as first rank-up performance data (S32179).

In this way, when it is determined to perform the first rank up performance by the first rank up performance determination process and the first rank up performance pattern is determined, for example, in the first rank up performance pattern RU03, RU22, or RU31. In some cases, the first rank-up effect shown in the above-described effect example 8 (see FIG. 13H) is executed in the variable effect that is executed before the target variable effect. For example, in the case of the first rank-up performance pattern RU05 or RU23, the first rank-up performance shown in performance example 9 (see FIG. 13I) is executed in the variable performance that is executed before the target variation performance. Ru.

As described above, the first rank-up performance pattern is determined by the first rank-up performance determination process, and the first rank-up performance based on the determined first rank-up performance pattern is executed, so that the pachinko game machine The production effect of 1 will be 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. 20. 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), etc.

When the CPU 121C starts the variable effect start process, it first determines a variable effect pattern based on the variable pattern information (S3301). In this process, a variable effect pattern is determined using the variable effect determination table shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B.

Further, SP2 pre-reach performance 2 is defined as the SP2 pre-reach performance to be executed before the execution of the SP2 reach performance.

Therefore, when a variable performance based on the variable performance pattern EP61 or EP161 is determined, pseudo 1 variation performance, pseudo 2 variation performance, and pseudo 3 variation performance are executed, the normal reach performance is executed, the SP1 reach performance is executed, and then the SP2 reach performance is executed. The performance will be performed.

In addition, when a variable effect based on the variable effect pattern EP62 or EP162 is determined, a pseudo 1 variable effect and a pseudo 2 variable effect are executed, and after the first special effect is executed and the SP1 reach effect is performed, the SP2 reach effect is executed. It turns out.

In addition, if a change performance according to change performance pattern EP163 is determined, the pseudo 1 change performance, pseudo 2 change performance, pseudo 3 change performance, and pseudo 4 change performance will be executed, and then the SP2 reach performance will be executed.

Furthermore, an SP4 pre-reach performance is defined as an SP4 pre-reach performance to be executed before the execution of the SP4 reach performance.

Therefore, when the variable performance based on the variable performance pattern EP91 or EP191 is determined, the SP4 ready-to-reach performance will be executed after the second special performance and the normal ready-to-reach performance.

Furthermore, when a variable performance based on the variable performance pattern EP92 or EP192 is determined, the SP4 ready-to-win performance will be executed after the third special performance is executed.

After determining the variable performance pattern in S3301, the combination of performance symbols is subsequently determined (S3302). In this process, the combination of the performance symbols 21LCR when the variable performance is temporarily stopped or stopped is determined.

Next, it is determined whether the gaming state is in the time-saving state (S3303). If it is determined that the gaming state is not in the time-saving state, the process proceeds to S3304. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gaming state is in the time-saving state, the process proceeds to S3314.

If it is determined in S3303 that the gaming state is not a time-saving state, the presentation contents of the variable icon (variable icon presentation pattern) are determined (S3304). In this process, a variable icon effect pattern is determined using the variable icon effect determination table shown in FIGS. 22A to 22D.

Here, an example of a table for determining variable icon effects will be described with reference to FIGS. 22A to 22D. As shown in FIGS. 22A to 22D, the table for determining variable icon effects includes table 1 for determining variable icon effects (FIG. 22A) to table 7 for determining variable icon effects (FIG. 22D).

There are seven different display modes for the variable icon: "white", "flashing white", "blue", "green", "red", "gold", and "rainbow". The likelihood of winning increases in the following order: "white" < "flashing white" < "blue" < "green" < "red" < "gold" < "rainbow".

Also, if it is determined that a pseudo consecutive development performance using pseudo consecutive development performance pattern GE23 is to be executed, the pseudo consecutive development performance shown in the above-mentioned performance example 7 (see FIG. 13G) is executed.

Further, the performance 2 is executed from the incidental performance execution time T76 when executing the first or second pseudo continuous development performance, and is executed from the incidental performance execution time T77 when executing the third pseudo continuous development performance.

The performance will be performed. Then, as performance 2, a first pseudo-coupling development performance, a second pseudo-coupling development performance, or a third pseudo-coupling development failure performance will be executed.

Furthermore, the performance 2 is executed from the incidental performance execution time T97.

Therefore, when a pseudo continuous development performance is determined based on the variable performance pattern EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152, the first pseudo continuous development performance, the second pseudo continuous development performance, or the third pseudo continuous development performance is used as the performance 1. The performance will be performed. Then, as performance 2, the first pseudo-sequence development failure performance or the second pseudo-sequence development failure performance will be executed.

Note that the performance 1 is executed from the incidental performance execution time T113 when the first or second pseudo continuous development performance is executed, and is executed from the incidental performance execution time T114 when the third pseudo continuous development performance is executed. Further, the performance 2 is executed from the incidental performance execution time T117 when the first or second pseudo continuous development performance is executed, and is executed from the incidental performance execution time T118 when the third pseudo continuous development performance is executed.

Therefore, when a pseudo continuous development performance is determined based on the variable performance pattern EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163, the first pseudo continuous development performance, the second pseudo continuous development performance, or the third pseudo continuous development performance is used as the performance 1. A continuous development performance will be executed. Then, as performance 2, a first pseudo-coupling development performance, a second pseudo-coupling development performance, or a third pseudo-coupling development failure performance will be executed. In addition, when the pseudo continuous development performance is determined based on EP163, the first pseudo continuous development performance and the second pseudo continuous development performance will be executed as performance 3.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3306 to execute the pseudo continuous development performance using the pseudo continuous development performance pattern GE52, the pseudo continuous development performance shown in the above-described performance example 1 (see FIG. 13A) is executed. Further, when it is determined to execute the pseudo continuous development performance using the pseudo continuous development performance pattern GE56, the pseudo continuous development performance shown in the above-mentioned performance example 2 (see FIG. 13B) is executed.

Further, when it is determined to execute the pseudo continuous development performance using the pseudo continuous development performance pattern GE53, the pseudo continuous development performance shown in the above-mentioned performance example 9 (see FIG. 13I) is executed.

After determining the pseudo continuous development performance pattern in S3306, it is then determined whether the first rank-up performance is being executed or whether there is a plan to execute the first rank-up performance (S3307). In this process, it is determined whether the first rank up performance is being executed or whether there is a plan to execute the first rank up performance by checking the prefetch performance pattern information etc. associated with the pending memory. Then, if it is determined that the first rank-up effect is being executed or that the first rank-up effect is scheduled to be executed, the process advances to S3314. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first rank-up effect is not being executed and there is no plan to execute the first rank-up effect, the process advances to S3308.

If it is determined in S3307 that the first rank up effect is not being executed and there is no plan to execute the first rank up effect, a second rank up effect pattern is determined (S3308). In this process, a second rank-up effect pattern is determined using the second rank-up effect determination table shown in FIGS. 24A to 24I. Note that the second rank-up effect pattern determined by this process is set as second rank-up effect data.

Here, an example of the table for determining the second rank-up effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 24A to 24I. The second rank-up performance determining table is comprised of second rank-up performance determination table 1 (FIG. 24A(a)) to second rank-up performance determination table 19 (FIG. 24I(b)).

The second rank-up effect is a mid-variation effect that increases the rank within the range of rank 1 to rank 5 during the variation effect, thereby increasing the expectation of a big win in the variation effect. The second rank-up effect is determined based on the variation effect pattern and the rank before the target variation began. Also, when an SP2 reach effect is executed, the rank is always raised to rank 5 before executing the SP2 reach effect.

FIG. 24A(a) shows a second rank-up effect determining table used when determining a second rank-up effect pattern when the variable effect pattern information is EP11 or EP111 and the target change is rank 1 before the start of the target change. This is an example of 1. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 1, the final rank (maximum rank in the variable performance) will be rank 1 or 2.

In this second rank-up effect determination table 1, the second rank-up effect patterns UE01 to UE03 and the determination ratio (judgment value allocation) are associated. Furthermore, the performance content of the second rank-up performance (second rank-up performance content) is defined for each second rank-up performance pattern. The second rank-up performance content defines the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T32.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP11 or EP111 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the target fluctuation, the performance 1 is a rank up failure performance, or from rank 1 to rank 2. A second rank-up effect will be executed.

Next, FIG. 24A(b) shows a second rank-up performance used when determining a second rank-up performance pattern when the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP21 or EP121 and the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the target fluctuation. This is an example of the determination table 2. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 2, the final rank will be rank 1 or rank 2.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 2, the second rank-up performance patterns UE11 to UE13 and the determination ratio of each second rank-up performance pattern are associated with each variable performance pattern information (EP21, EP121). In addition, the second rank-up performance content is specified for each second rank-up performance pattern. And, the second rank-up performance content specifies the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the additional performance execution time T42.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP21 or EP121 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the target fluctuation, the performance 1 is a rank up failure performance, or from rank 1 to rank 2. A second rank-up effect will be executed.

Next, FIG. 24A(c) shows a second rank-up effect used when determining a second rank-up effect pattern when the change effect pattern information is EP21 or EP121 and the target change is rank 2 before the start of the change. This is an example of the determination table 3. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 3, the final rank is rank 2.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 3, for each variable performance pattern information (EP21, EP121), the second rank-up performance pattern UE14 and the second rank-up performance pattern in the second rank-up performance pattern UE14 are determined. Determination ratios are associated. Further, second rank-up effect contents are defined for the second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance content defines the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T42.

Therefore, when the second rank-up effect is determined based on the fact that the variation effect pattern information is EP21 or EP121 and the target is rank 2 before the start of the change, the rank-up failure effect is executed as the effect 1.

Next, FIG. 24B (a) shows an example of the second rank-up performance determination table 4 used to determine the second rank-up performance pattern when the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP31, EP32, EP131, or EP132, and the rank before the target fluctuation starts is 1. When the second rank-up performance is determined using the second rank-up performance determination table 4, the final rank will be rank 1 to 4.

In this second rank-up effect determination table 4, second rank-up effect patterns UE21 to UE31 and each second rank-up effect pattern are determined for each variable effect pattern information (EP31, EP32, EP131, EP132). The percentages are associated. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T52, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T55, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T59. The content (performance 3) and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T60 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP31, EP32, EP131, or EP132 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the change, the rank up failure performance as performance 1, or , a second rank-up effect will be executed to raise the rank from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4. In addition, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4, or a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 3 will be executed. Become. Further, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance of increasing from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4, or a second rank-up performance of increasing from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 4, a rank-up failure performance will be executed.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3308 to execute the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE21, the rank-up effect shown in the above-mentioned effect example 6 (see FIG. 13F) is executed. Furthermore, when it is determined to perform the second rank-up performance using the second rank-up performance pattern UE27, the rank-up performance shown in the above-described performance example 7 (see FIG. 13G) is executed.

Next, FIG. 24B(b) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP31, EP32, EP131, or EP132 and the target change is rank 2 before the start of the change. This is an example of the table 5 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 5, the final rank will be ranks 2 to 4.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 5, second rank-up performance patterns UE32 to UE40 and each second rank-up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP31, EP32, EP131, EP132). The percentages are associated. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T52, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T55, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T59. The content (performance 3) and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T60 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP31, EP32, EP131, or EP132, and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 2 before the start of the change, the rank up failure performance as performance 1, or , a second rank-up effect of increasing from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance to increase from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4, or a second rank-up performance to increase from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance to increase from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4, or a second rank-up performance to increase from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 4, a rank-up failure performance will be executed.

When the second rank-up performance is determined using the second rank-up performance determination table 6, the final rank will be rank 3 or 4.

In this second rank up performance determination table 6, second rank up performance patterns UE41 to UE44 and each second rank up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP31, EP32, EP131, EP132). The percentages are associated. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern.

Next, FIG. 24C(b) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the change effect pattern information is EP31, EP32, EP131, or EP132 and the target change start rank is 4. This is an example of the table 7 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 7, the final rank is rank 4.

In this second rank-up effect determination table 7, the determination ratio of the second rank-up effect pattern UE45 and the second rank-up effect pattern UE45 is determined for each variable effect pattern information (EP31, EP32, EP131, EP132). are associated. Further, second rank-up effect contents are defined for the second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T52, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T55, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T59. The content (performance 3) and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T60 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP31, EP32, EP131, or EP132 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 4 before the start of the change, the rank up failure performance is executed as performance 4. will be done.

A feature of these second rank-up performance determining tables 4 to 7 is that by always performing a rank-up failure performance in performance 4, it is reported that the rank will not increase to rank 5. Furthermore, if the rank has already reached 4 before the execution time of performance 4 is reached, the rank-up failure performance is not executed from the time when rank 4 is reached until performance 3.

Next, FIG. 24D shows the second rank-up effect pattern used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the change effect pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142 and the target change start rank is 1. This is an example of a table 8 for determining rank-up effects. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 8, the final rank will be ranks 1 to 4.

In this second rank-up effect determination table 8, second rank-up effect patterns UE51 to UE69 and second rank-up effect patterns UE51 to UE69 are determined for each variable effect pattern information (EP41, EP42, EP141, EP142). are associated with the determined proportions. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T72, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T76, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T79. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T82, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T83 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the change, the rank up failure performance as performance 1, or , a second rank-up effect will be executed to raise the rank from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4. In addition, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4, or a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 3 will be executed. Become. In addition, the third performance is a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to rank 3 or 4, or a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 3 to rank 4. A second rank-up effect will be executed. In addition, as a performance 4, there is a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to rank 4, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 3 or rank 4, or a performance that increases from rank 3 to rank 4. A second rank-up effect will be executed. Further, as performance 5, a rank-up failure performance will be executed.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3308 to perform the second rank-up performance using the second rank-up performance pattern UE59, the rank-up performance shown in the above-described performance example 4 (see FIG. 13D) is executed. Furthermore, when it is determined to perform the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE61, the rank-up effect shown in the above-described effect example 5 (see FIG. 13E) is executed.

Next, FIG. 24E(a) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the change effect pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142 and the target change start rank is 2. This is an example of the table 9 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 9, the final rank will be ranks 2 to 4.

In this second rank up effect determination table 9, for each variable effect pattern information (EP41, EP42, EP141, EP142), second rank up effect patterns UE70 to UE80 and second rank up effect patterns UE70 to UE86 are determined. are associated with the determined proportions. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T72, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T76, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T79. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T82, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T83 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142, and a second rank-up performance is determined based on the rank 2 before the start of the target fluctuation, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from 2 to 3 or 4 will be executed as performance 1. Also, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from 2 to 3 or 4 will be executed as performance 2. Also, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from 2 to 3 or 4 will be executed as performance 3. Also, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from 2 to 3 or 4 will be executed as performance 4. Also, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from 2 to 4, or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from 3 to 4 will be executed as performance 5.

Next, FIG. 24E(b) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142 and the target change start rank is 3. This is an example of the table 10 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 10, the final rank will be rank 3 or rank 4.

In this second rank-up performance determining table 10, second rank-up performance patterns UE81 to UE85 and second rank-up performance patterns UE81 to UE85 are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP41, EP42, EP141, EP142). are associated with the determined proportions. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T72, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T76, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T79. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T82, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T83 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 3, the rank up failure performance as performance 1, or , a second rank-up effect of increasing from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 4, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance of rising from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 5, a rank-up failure performance will be executed.

Next, FIG. 24F (a) shows an example of the second rank-up performance determination table 11 used to determine the second rank-up performance pattern when the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142, and the rank before the target fluctuation starts is 4. When the second rank-up performance is determined using the second rank-up performance determination table 11, the final rank will be rank 4.

In this second rank up performance determination table 11, for each variable performance pattern information (EP41, EP42, EP141, EP142), the second rank up performance pattern UE86 and the second rank in the second rank up performance pattern UE86 are determined. The determination ratio of the up effect pattern is associated with it. Further, second rank-up effect contents are defined for the second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T72, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T76, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T79. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T82, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T83 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP41, EP42, EP141, or EP142 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 4 before the start of the target fluctuation, a rank up failure performance is executed as performance 5. will be done.

A feature of these second rank-up performance determining tables 8 to 11 is that they always execute a rank-up failure performance in performance 5 to notify that the rank will not increase to rank 5. Furthermore, if the rank has already reached 4 before the time to perform performance 5, the rank-up failure performance is not executed from the time when rank 4 is reached until performance 4.

Next, FIG. 24F(b) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the change effect pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the target change start rank is 1. This is an example of the table 12 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 12, the final rank is rank 5.

In this second rank up performance determination table 12, second rank up performance patterns UE91 to UE99 and each second rank up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP51, EP52, EP151, EP152). The percentages are associated. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T92, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T96, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T100. The content (performance 3) and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T101 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the change, the rank up failure performance as performance 1, or , a second rank-up effect will be executed to raise the rank from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4. In addition, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4, or a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 3 will be executed. Become. In addition, the third performance is a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to rank 4 or 5, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 4, or a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 3 to rank 4. A second rank-up effect will be executed. Further, as a performance 4, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 1 to rank 5, or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 or 4 to rank 5 is executed.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3308 to execute the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE93, the rank-up effect shown in the above-described effect example 3 (see FIG. 13C) is executed.

Next, FIG. 24G(a) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the target change is rank 2 before the start of the change. This is an example of the table 13 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 13, the final rank is rank 5.

In this second rank-up effect determination table 13, second rank-up effect patterns UE100 to UE106 and each second rank-up effect pattern are determined for each variable effect pattern information (EP51, EP52, EP151, EP152).

The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T92, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T96, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T100. The content (performance 3) and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T101 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the second rank-up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 2 before the start of the change, the performance 1 is a rank-up failure performance, or , a second rank-up effect of increasing from rank 2 to rank 3 will be executed. Further, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance to increase from rank 2 to rank 4 or 5, or a second rank-up performance to increase from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as a performance 4, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 2 to rank 5, or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 or 4 to rank 5 is executed.

Next, FIG. 24G(b) is an example of the second rank-up performance determination table 14 used to determine the second rank-up performance pattern when the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152, and the rank before the target fluctuation starts is 3. When the second rank-up performance is determined using the second rank-up performance determination table 14, the final rank will be rank 5.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 14, the second rank-up performance patterns UE107 to UE111 and the determination ratio of each second rank-up performance pattern are associated with each variable performance pattern information (EP51, EP52, EP151, EP152). In addition, the second rank-up performance content is specified for each second rank-up performance pattern. The second rank-up performance content specifies the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the additional performance execution time T92, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the additional performance execution time T96, the performance content (performance 3) to be executed at the additional performance execution time T100, and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the additional performance execution time T101.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 3, the rank up failure performance as performance 1, or , a second rank-up effect of increasing from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 to rank 4 or 5 is executed. Furthermore, as performance 4, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 or 4 to rank 5 will be executed.

Next, FIG. 24G(c) is used when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the target change start rank is 4. This is an example of the table 15 for determining the second rank-up effect. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 15, the final rank is rank 5.

In this second rank up performance determination table 15, second rank up performance patterns UE112 and UE113 and each second rank up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP51, EP52, EP151, EP152). The percentages are associated. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T92, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T96, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T100. The content (performance 3) and the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T101 are defined.

Therefore, if the variation effect pattern information is EP51, EP52, EP151, or EP152 and the second rank up effect is determined based on the fact that the target change is rank 4 before the start of the change, the effect is changed from rank 4 to rank 5 as effect 3. A second rank-up effect will be executed. Further, as performance 4, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 4 to rank 5 will be executed.

The characteristics of these second rank up effect determination tables 12 to 15 are that basically, by executing the second rank up effect that increases to rank 5 in effect 4, rank 5 is achieved before the execution of SP2 reach effect. This is to notify that the price has increased. In addition, in some cases, a second rank-up effect may be performed in which the player rises to rank 5 during effect 3, and in such cases, the expectation of a jackpot is higher than if the player rose to rank 5 during effect 4. This is what is happening. Furthermore, if the rank has already reached 4 before the execution time of performance 4 is reached, the rank-up failure performance is not executed from the time when rank 4 is reached until performance 3.

Next, FIG. 24H (a) shows when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the target change is rank 1 before the start of the change. This is an example of the second rank-up effect determination table 16 used for.

Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T112, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T116, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T120. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T124, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T125 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 1 before the start of the target fluctuation, the rank up failure performance is set as performance 1. Alternatively, a second rank-up effect that increases from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4 will be executed. In addition, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance, a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 1 to any one of ranks 2 to 4, or a second rank-up performance that increases from rank 2 to rank 3 will be executed. Become. Furthermore, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from ranks 1 to 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 4, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 1 to rank 5 is executed. Further, as a performance 5, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 1 to rank 5, or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 or 4 to rank 5 is executed.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3308 to perform the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE121, the rank-up effect shown in the above-described effect example 1 (see FIG. 13A) is executed. Furthermore, when it is determined to perform the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE123, the rank-up effect shown in the above-described effect example 2 (see FIG. 13B) is executed.

Next, FIG. 24H(b) shows when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the target change is rank 1 before the start of the change. This is an example of the second rank-up effect determination table 17 used for. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 17, the final rank will be rank 5.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 17, second rank-up performance patterns UE130 to UE136 and each second rank-up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, EP163). are associated with the determined proportions. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T112, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T116, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T120. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T124, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T125 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 2 before the start of the target fluctuation, the rank up failure performance is set as performance 1. Alternatively, a second rank-up effect of increasing from rank 2 to rank 3 will be executed. Further, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 2 to rank 3 or 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 2 or 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 4, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 2 to rank 5 will be executed. Further, as performance 5, a second rank-up performance will be performed in which the rank increases from ranks 2 to 4 to rank 5.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3308 to execute the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE136, the rank-up effect shown in the above-mentioned effect example 8 (see FIG. 13H) is executed.

Next, FIG. 24I(a) shows when the second rank-up effect pattern is determined when the variation effect pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the target change start rank is 3. This is an example of the second rank-up effect determination table 18 used for. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 18, the final rank is rank 5.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 18, second rank-up performance patterns UE137 to UE141 and each second rank-up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, EP163). are associated with the determined proportions. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T112, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T116, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T120. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T124, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T125 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation performance pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the second rank up performance is determined based on the fact that the target fluctuation is rank 3, the rank up failure performance is set as performance 1. Alternatively, a second rank-up effect of increasing from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Furthermore, as performance 2, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as performance 3, a rank-up failure performance or a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 to rank 4 will be executed. Further, as a performance 4, a second rank-up performance that raises the rank from rank 3 to rank 5 will be executed. Further, as performance 5, a second rank-up performance in which the rank increases from rank 3 or 4 to rank 5 will be executed.

For example, if it is determined in the process of S3308 to execute the second rank-up effect using the second rank-up effect pattern UE139, the rank-up effect shown in the above-described effect example 9 (see FIG. 13I) is executed.

Next, FIG. 24I(b) shows when determining the second rank-up effect pattern when the variation effect pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the target change start rank is 4. This is an example of the second rank-up effect determination table 19 used for. When the second rank up performance is determined using the second rank up performance determination table 19, the final rank is rank 5.

In this second rank-up performance determination table 19, second rank-up performance patterns UE142 and UE143, and each second rank-up performance pattern are determined for each variable performance pattern information (EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, EP163). are associated with the determined proportions. Furthermore, second rank-up effect contents are defined for each second rank-up effect pattern. The second rank-up performance contents include the performance content (performance 1) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T112, the performance content (performance 2) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T116, and the performance to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T120. The content (performance 3), the performance content (performance 4) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T124, and the performance content (performance 5) to be executed at the incidental performance execution time T125 are defined.

Therefore, if the fluctuation effect pattern information is EP61, EP62, EP161, EP162, or EP163 and the second rank up effect is determined based on the fact that the target change is rank 4 before the start of the change, the second rank up effect is determined as effect 4. A second rank-up effect that increases the rank to 5 will be executed. In addition, as performance 5, a second rank-up performance that raises the rank from rank 4 to rank 5 will be executed.

The characteristics of these second rank up effect determination tables 16 to 19 are that basically, by executing the second rank up effect that increases to rank 5 in effect 5, rank 5 is achieved before the SP2 reach effect is executed. This is to notify that the price has increased. In addition, in some cases, a second rank-up effect may be performed in which the player rises to rank 5 during effect 4, and in such cases, the expectation of a jackpot is higher than if the player rose to rank 5 during effect 5. This is what is happening. Furthermore, if the rank has already reached 4 before the time to perform performance 5, the rank-up failure performance is not executed from the time when rank 4 is reached until performance 4.

After determining the second rank up effect pattern in S3308, it is then determined whether the variation pattern information is P120 or more (SP1 reach 1 variation effect or more) (S3309). If it is determined that the variation pattern information is equal to or greater than P120, the process advances to S3310. On the other hand, if it is determined that this is not the case, the process advances to S3314.

If it is determined in S3309 that the variation pattern information is equal to or greater than P120, the presentation content (title presentation pattern) of the title presentation is determined (S3310). In this process, a title effect pattern is determined using the title effect determination table shown in FIG. Note that the title effect pattern determined by this process is set as title effect data.
