The first half variation table acquisition means includes:
As the first half variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game, obtain the first half variation table acquired in the variation display game executed immediately before,
As the first half variation table of the specific variation display game, a first half variation table different from the first half variation table obtained in the variation display game executed immediately before can be obtained.

Here, the “game machine” includes a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, an arrange ball game machine, and a sparrow ball game machine.
Further, the “variable display device” may be a single device such as a liquid crystal display device or a CRT (cathode ray tube) display device, or a display device in which these devices and a large number of light emitting elements are arranged, and a rotating drum are used. A combination with a mechanical display device or the like may be used as long as it includes an image displayable area.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the normal derivation display time is used as the derivation display time when the stop result mode does not become the special result mode for the specific variable display game predetermined by the special derivation display time setting means. It is possible to set a special derivation display time that is longer than the derivation display time, and it is obtained by the variation table acquisition means as the first half variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game in the variation display game executed immediately before Special derivation display time because it is possible to acquire the first half variation table that is different from the first half variation table obtained in the last variation display game as the first half variation table of the specific variation display game. The first half of the last variable display game executed in the specific display game It is possible to switch to a different half change table and moving the table.
Therefore, in the specific variable display game for which the special derived display time is set, the first variation table of the variable display game is switched, and the derived display time of the specific variable display game is made longer than the normal derived display time. Since it is possible to give a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result. Further, since only the first half variation table is switched among the variation tables, the variation table can be switched without being influenced by the result mode of the variation display game.

As the predetermined effect, an effect related to notification of whether or not the specific gaming state is continued is executed.

  According to the seventh aspect of the invention, since it is possible to execute an effect relating to notification of whether or not the specific gaming state continues during the special derivation display time, a sense of expectation that the specific gaming state will continue. Can be held by the player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

According to the present invention, the derivation display time for the specific variation display game predetermined by the special derivation display time setting means as the derivation display time when the stop result aspect does not become the special result aspect is derived from the normal derivation display time. A special derivation display time that is long can be set, and the first half variation table acquired in the last variation display game executed by the variation table acquisition means as the first half variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game is used. It is possible to acquire a first-half fluctuation table that is different from the first-half fluctuation table acquired in the fluctuation-display game executed immediately before as the first-half fluctuation table of a specific fluctuation-display game. In the first variation display game, the first half variation table of the variation display game executed immediately before It is possible to switch to a different half change table.
Therefore, in the specific variable display game for which the special derived display time is set, the first variation table of the variable display game is switched, and the derived display time of the specific variable display game is made longer than the normal derived display time. Since it is possible to give a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result. Further, since only the first half variation table is switched among the variation tables, the variation table can be switched without being influenced by the result mode of the variation display game.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.

<First Embodiment>
The pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment is a game in which a game ball is fired (bulleted) into an internal game area 1a, and on the back side of the front upper half glass plate, A game board 1 constituting the game area 1a is installed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 1 includes a flat game board main body 1b (made of wood or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and is surrounded by a guide rail 2 on the front surface of the game board main body 1b. A gaming area 1a. Further, front structural members 3, 3,... Are attached to the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is launched from the launching device into the game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2 to play a game.

  In the game area 1a, a normal start gate 4, a first start winning opening 13, and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 as a second starting winning opening are provided. Although not shown in FIG. 1, a front map display 5 (FIG. 2) is provided on the front structural member 3 outside the guide rail 2 as a general map display device for displaying a normal display game. And a first special figure display 8 (shown in FIG. 2) for displaying a first special figure variation display game as an auxiliary game when a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13, and a normal fluctuation prize. A second special figure display 9 (shown in FIG. 2) for displaying a second special figure fluctuation display game as an auxiliary game when a game ball wins the device 7 is provided.

  In addition, a center case 20 that forms a window 22 serving as a display area for the variable display game is attached to the approximate center of the game area 1a. A display device (variable display device) 41 is arranged behind the window portion 22 formed in the center case 20. The display device 41 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged so that a display portion 41 a whose display contents can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window portion 22 of the center case 20. Yes. The display device 41 is not limited to the one provided with a liquid crystal display, and may be provided with a display such as an EL or CRT.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general diagram start gate 4 is provided in the general diagram start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal start gate 4, a normal (normal symbol) variable display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not ended, or the normal variation display game has been hit and the normal variation winning device When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure starting gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure starting memory number, the normal figure starting memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure starting is started. One memory is stored. Note that the start memory of the normal map display game is displayed on a general memory display 15 (shown in FIG. 2) having LEDs.

  The general map change display game is executed on the general map display 5. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 41, In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure changing display game becomes a special result mode, the opening / closing members 7a and 7a of the normal fluctuation winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time in a normal figure.

A first special figure start opening SW13d (shown in FIG. 2) is provided inside the first start winning opening 13, and the first special figure start opening SW13d is used to detect the game ball as a supplementary game. A start right to start a special figure variation display game is generated. The right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as the first start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The first start memory is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18 (shown in FIG. 2).
A second special figure starting port SW7d (shown in FIG. 2) is provided inside the normal variation winning device 7, and the second special figure starting port SW7d detects the game ball by the second special figure starting port SW7d. The right to start the special figure variation display game is generated. The right to start the second special figure variation display game is stored as the second start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The second start-up memory is displayed on a second special figure memory display 19 (shown in FIG. 2).

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a, and is disposed below the first start winning opening 13, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a are normally spaced at an interval of about the diameter of a game ball. In the closed state, i.e., the game ball is difficult to win (a disadvantageous state for the player), but the result of the usual variable display game is in a predetermined stop display mode. The solenoid (general power SOL 7b, shown in FIG. 2) is changed to an easy winning state (a state advantageous to the player) where the game ball can easily flow into the normal variation winning device 7 by opening in a reverse “C” shape. It is supposed to be.

  The operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes two operation states, a normal operation state and a short-time operation state, and the game control device 30 sets one of the operation states. In the normal operation state, the variable display time of the normal variable display game is a first variable display time (for example, 30 seconds). In addition, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of the normal variation display game being won, the release mode is the first release time (for example, 0.5 seconds) State), the number of times of opening for one hit result of the normal map display game is the first number of times of opening (for example, once). The short-time operation state is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-described normal variation display game is controlled to be a second variation display time shorter than the first variation display time which is a long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 1 second), thereby controlling the number of times of opening of the normally variable prize-winning device 7 per unit time to be substantially increased (normally short time state). Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal variation display game, the release mode is the second release time (for example, 1.5 seconds) ( The number of times of opening with respect to a single hit result of the normal map change display game is set as the second number of times of opening (for example, 3 times) (opening pattern changing state). It should be noted that in the short-time operation state, control (the normal-probability fluctuation state) may be performed so that the probability that the hit result of the normal-game fluctuation display game is higher than the normal operation state. In other words, the short-time operation state is a state in which the number of times of opening of the normally variable prize-winning device 7 is increased and the opening time for one hit is extended, and as a result, the opening time per unit time is extended. . This makes it easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7, and the special figure 2 variation display game can be easily started.

  The first special figure change display game as the auxiliary game is executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure change display game as the auxiliary game is executed by the second special figure display 9. It has become. The first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game are performed by variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information and then stopping and displaying a predetermined result form. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game for displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) corresponding to each special figure fluctuation display game on the display device 41 is executed. ing. If the display form of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result form (for example, “7”) as a result of each special figure variation display game, it is a big hit. Special gaming state (so-called big hit). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 41 also becomes a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but a special figure variation display game is displayed independently. In addition, the display device 41 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map variable display game and the second special map variable display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed independently. Further, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 41.

  Then, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the first start prize opening When the game ball wins in 13, the first start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the first start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure is immediately based on the first start memory. The variable display game is started, and at this time, the first start memory number is decremented by one. Further, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the normal fluctuation winning device 7 When the game ball wins, the second start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and the second special figure change is immediately made based on the second start memory. The display game is started, and at this time, the second start memory number is decremented by one.

  On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display. If a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 when the game is not finished or in a special game state, if the first start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four) The first start memory number is incremented by 1, and one first start memory is stored. Similarly, in this case, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, if the second start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four), the second start memory number is incremented by 1 and the second start is started. One memory is stored.

  When the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is ready to start, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display is based on the first start memory or the second start memory. The game starts. At this time, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not executed simultaneously, and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure fluctuation display game. It is like that. That is, when there is a first start memory and a second start memory, and when the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  The game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. Depending on the result, the special variable winning device 10 for converting from the closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to the open state (a state advantageous to the player), and the game balls that did not win the winning port are collected. An out hole 11 is provided. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 12, 12,..., A windmill 14 as a batting direction changing member, a number of obstacle nails (not shown), and the like.

  The special variable winning device 10 includes a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side tilts toward the front side. By converting the winning opening from the closed state to the opened state, the inflow of game balls into the large winning opening is facilitated, and a predetermined game value (prize ball) is given to the player. The opening / closing door 10a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (a special winning opening SOL10b, shown in FIG. 2) as a driving device. In addition, a count SW 10c (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the big prize opening is disposed inside the big prize opening (winning area).

  Each general winning opening 12 provided in the gaming area 1a is provided with a winning opening SW 12a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning opening 12. The game balls that are driven into the game area 1a by starting the game are awarded to the general prize opening 12, 12,..., The normal variable prize winning device 7, the first start prize winning port 13, the special variable prize winning device 10, etc. When a prize is awarded to any of the mouths, a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the respective prize mouths are paid out by the payout control device 125 (shown in FIG. 2). The payout control device 125 is controlled under the control of the game control device 30 so that a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the center case 20, an effect operation accessory 50 that performs a predetermined effect operation in accordance with a variable display game executed on the display device 41 is disposed, and the predetermined effect is provided. In the operation, auxiliary production operation actors 24a, 24b, and 24c that perform an auxiliary production operation are disposed at the upper part, the upper left part, and the lower right part of the center case 20, respectively.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the center case 20 is provided with a warp inlet 25 below the auxiliary effect operating accessory 24 b provided in the upper left portion of the center case 20. A game ball flowing down the outer game area 1 a is allowed to flow in, and a warp outlet 26 for discharging the game ball flowing in from the warp inlet 25 to the inside of the center case 20 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a game control device 30 that controls the special figure variation display game, and an effect related to the special figure fluctuation display game based on the production control command from the game control device 30. And an effect control device 40 as effect control means for performing the above control.

  The game control device 30 includes a one-chip microcomputer 31 including a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM (RWM (Read Write Memory)) 31c, an input interface (input I / F) 32, and an output interface (output I / F) 33. The external communication terminal 34 and the like.

  In the one-chip microcomputer 31, the internal CPU 31 a includes a control unit and a calculation unit and performs calculation control, and also generates various random values such as a jackpot determination random value for each special figure variation display game.

  In addition, when starting each special figure fluctuation display game (decoration special figure fluctuation display game) based on the start winning, the CPU 31a includes a fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game, that is, a fluctuation display time of the identification information. Determine the fluctuation pattern and reach pattern (type of reach action).

  In the RAM 31c inside the one-chip microcomputer 31, an ON signal of the first special figure starting port SW13d provided in the first starting winning award port 13 and the second special figure starting port SW7d provided in the ordinary variable winning device 7 are provided. A storage area for storage, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like are provided. That is, the winning of the game ball detected by the CPU 31a is stored in the RAM 31c as the start winning.

The ROM 31b inside the one-chip microcomputer 31 stores game control programs and control data, and also determines the occurrence of a big hit of each special figure variation display game corresponding to the various random numbers described above. , Special figure fluctuation display game jackpot judgment value, fluctuation pattern (first half fluctuation pattern, second half fluctuation pattern), reach pattern (reach action type) judgment value, judgment value for determining execution of continuous notice effect, general figure fluctuation display game A determination value for a normal figure for determining occurrence of a hit is stored. Specifically, for example, in the ROM 31b (variation table storage means), the latter half variation pattern table corresponding to the game result (“big hit”, “small hit”, or “out”) of the special figure variation display game, and the special figure are displayed. The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the game result of the variation display game (“big hit”, “small hit” or “out of”) is stored. In addition, the latter half variation pattern table is roughly divided into two types, namely, the latter half variation pattern table A as a normal variation table and the latter half variation pattern table B as a special variation table having a high frequency of effects in a variation display game. . Similarly, the first-half variation pattern table includes a first-half variation pattern table A as a normal variation table and a first-half variation pattern table B as a special variation table having a high occurrence frequency of effects in a variation display game. In addition, the ROM 31b (usual change table storage means) stores a normal change pattern table corresponding to the game result (“win” or “out”) of the normal change display game.
Of the variation patterns, the first half variation pattern means, for example, a variation display mode until the occurrence of reach, and the second half variation pattern means a variation display mode after the occurrence of reach. Of the variation patterns, the variation display mode of the first variation pattern and the second variation pattern is, for example, the first variation pattern until reach occurs and the middle symbol area that is varying temporarily stops or starts low-speed variation, The design may be changed as appropriate, such as changing the subsequent fluctuation display to the latter half fluctuation pattern.
That is, the game control device 30 (ROM 31b) serves as a variation table storage means that stores a plurality of variation tables for setting at least the execution time in the variation display game.
Further, the game control device 30 (ROM 31b) serves as a first half variation table storage means for storing a plurality of first half variation tables for setting the execution time of the first half part obtained by dividing at least the execution time of the variable display game at a predetermined timing. .
Further, the game control device 30 (ROM 31b) constitutes a latter half fluctuation table storage means for storing a plurality of latter half fluctuation tables for setting an execution time of the latter half part obtained by dividing at least the execution time of the fluctuation display game at a predetermined timing. .
In addition, the game control device 30 (ROM 31b) serves as a usual figure fluctuation table storage means for storing a plurality of usual figure fluctuation tables for setting the execution time in the usual figure fluctuation display game.

  Here, the reach (reach state) includes the display device 41 whose display state can be changed, and the display device 41 derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times. In a gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when the specified special result mode is achieved, a part of the plurality of display results is not yet derived and displayed. The display state in which the display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that becomes the special result mode even when the display control unit 41 proceeds to the stage before the display result is derived and displayed. A display mode that is not. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the display device 41 proceeds to reach a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that have been performed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game displayed on the display device 41 in correspondence with the special figure fluctuation display game has a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas of the display device 41. If the result display is displayed after the variable display is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition for the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas ( For example, the state where the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state in which the identification information is obtained (except for the special result mode) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state. This reach state includes a plurality of reach effects, and the possibility of deriving a special result form is different (reliability is different). As the reach effects, normal reach, special reach 1 (SP1 reach), special reach 2 ( SP2 reach) is set. The reliability increases in the order of no reach <normal reach <special reach 1 (SP1 reach) <special reach 2 (SP2 reach). In addition, this reach state is included in a variable display mode at least in a case where a special result mode is derived in a special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is out of place). Therefore, the state in which the reach state occurs is a state that is more likely to be a big hit than the case in which the reach state does not occur.

  The input interface 32 is connected to a first special figure starting port SW13d, a second special figure starting port SW7d, a winning port SW12a,..., A gate SW4a, a count SW10c, a glass frame opening SW146, and a gaming machine through a low-pass filter and a buffer gate.

These control signals are relayed by the output interface 33, and through the output port and driver (not shown), the first special figure display 8, the first special figure storage display 18, the second special figure display 9, 2 special figure memory display 19, universal map display 5, universal figure storage display 15, general electric power SOL7b, big prize opening SOL10b, external terminal board 16 connected to a management device outside the gaming machine, payout control device 125, It is output to the production control device 40.

  The effect control device 40 includes an arithmetic processing CPU 40a, a ROM 40b, a RAM 40c, a VDP (Video Display Processor) 40d, and the like, a communication interface (communication I / F) 40e, and an input / output interface (input / output I / F) 40f. ing. Further, an image ROM 40g storing image and video data, a sound ROM 40h storing sound data, and a sound LSI 40i for controlling sound output are provided.

  This effect control device 40 is based on various signals (effect control data (such as various commands)) received from the game control device 30 via the communication interface 40e (under the control of the game control device 30). Control is performed. The input / output interface 40f receives a detection signal from an effect button 43 (shown in FIG. 2) provided on the front surface of the gaming machine, and the effect control device 40 receives the detection signal. Based on the control (under the control of the game control device 30), the control of the game effect is performed.

  Furthermore, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40f, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40f, and the output of the movable effect device via an output port and a driver (not shown). It is output to various LED boards 44 provided with decoration LED provided in the accessory drive motor 42, the game board 1, and the clear member holding frame covering the front of the game board 1, and the production of the game is performed. ing. Of the control signals output from the CPU 40a, a control signal related to image control is output from the CPU 40a to the VDP 40d, and image data based on the control signal is output from the VDP 40d to the display device 41. Further, a control signal related to the control of sound is output from the CPU 40a to the sound LSI 40i, and sound data based on the control signal is output from the sound LSI 40i to the speaker 45.

  In addition, power is supplied to the game control device 30 from a power supply device (not shown), and power is also supplied to the other devices from the power supply device. In addition, the power supply device is equipped with a backup power supply to enable power supply even when the external power supply is interrupted, such as during a power failure, and is stored in the volatile memory of each control device during a power failure. The loss of recorded data is prevented.

In these control devices, the following game control is performed.
The game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the usual figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, and stores it in the ROM 31b. Compared with the stored determination value, a process of determining whether or not the normal-game fluctuation display game is missed is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general symbol display 5, a process for displaying a general symbol variation display game to be stopped is performed. If the result of the normal map fluctuation display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric power SOL 7b is operated to open and close the opening / closing members 7a and 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 for a predetermined time ( For example, the control for opening is performed as described above for 0.5 seconds. In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first special figure start opening SW13d provided in the first start winning opening 13, the random number value for determining the big hit of the first special figure variation display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the first start memory is performed. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second special figure starting port SW7d provided in the normal fluctuation winning device 7, a random number for determining the big hit of the second special figure variable display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the second start memory is performed.

  Further, when the game ball is won at the first start winning opening 13, the big hit random number value stored in the first start memory is used as the big hit determination value and the small hit determination for the first special figure variable display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the value, a process of determining a miss of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, the big hit random number value stored in the second start memory and the big hit determination value and the small hit determination for the second special figure variable display game stored in the ROM 31b at the time of winning the game ball to the normal variable winning device 7 Compared with the value, a process of determining a miss of the second special figure variation display game is performed. Further, when winning a game ball to the first start winning opening 13, the jackpot symbol random number value stored in the first start memory is compared with the determination value for the first special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b, A process of determining (determining) the jackpot symbol of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, when winning the game ball to the normal variation winning device 7, the jackpot symbol random number value stored in the second start memory is compared with the determination value for the second special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b, A process of determining (determining) the jackpot symbol of the second special figure variation display game is performed. Based on these determination results, a predetermined effect (so-called prefetch effect) can be executed.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the start-up memory, the identification symbols are displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a varying manner and then stopped. Processing to display a special figure variation display game is performed.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game is executed. It is designed to execute in preference to execution control.

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, the first special figure fluctuation display game in which the big hit random number value stored in the first start memory at the start of the first special figure fluctuation display game is stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the big hit determination value and the small hit determination value, the process of determining the hit loss of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Further, the big hit random number value stored in the second start memory at the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game is compared with the big hit judgment value and the small hit judgment value for the second special figure fluctuation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Then, a process of determining a miss of the first special figure variation display game is performed. And when the result of the 1st or 2nd special figure change display game is a big hit or a small win, a special result state is displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9, and the special game state A process of generating (first special game state or second special game state) is performed. In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control for allowing the game ball to flow into the special winning opening is performed. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one round is defined as one round, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (cycle game). Thereby, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine capable of giving a predetermined game value to the player when the stop result mode of the special figure variation display game becomes a predetermined special result mode. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The value given to the player is high because, for example, the distribution rate of the number of rounds in the special game state is advantageous for the player (for example, the first special figure variable display game has an occurrence rate of 16R probability variation big hit: 40 %, 16R normal jackpot occurrence rate: 40%, whereas the second special figure fluctuation display game is 16R probability variable jackpot occurrence rate: 55%, 16R normal jackpot occurrence rate: 40%). Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, or a reach production that does not normally appear (so-called super reach or premier reach) is likely to appear.

  Here, there are two probability states, a normal probability state (low probability state) and a high probability state, in the probability state that is the state of probability that the special result mode is derived in the special figure variation display game. At 30, any one probability state is set. The high probability state is a state in which the probability of a jackpot result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. In the normal probability state, a predetermined number of first determination values are set as specific values, and the specific value (first determination value) is compared with a big hit determination random number value. Yes. Further, in the high probability state, the first determination value and the second determination value different from the first determination value are set as the specific value, and the specific value (first determination value, second determination value) and the jackpot determination random number value Are compared, and if they match, it is determined that the game is a big hit. In other words, the game control device 30 serves as a probability setting means that can control the probability that the result of the special figure variation display game is in the special result mode in either the normal probability state or the high probability state.

  If a special result is derived in a special figure variation display game and a certain condition is met (if a specific special result mode (high probability pattern)), the probability state is increased after the special game state ends. Probability state. Moreover, even if it becomes a high probability state based on the result aspect of either the 1st special figure fluctuation display game or the 2nd special figure fluctuation display game, the special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the special figure 2 fluctuation display Both games are in a high probability state. If a special result is derived in the special figure fluctuation display game in the probability state, the special figure 1 fluctuation display is performed regardless of whether or not the special result mode is accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition. Both the game and the special figure 2 variable display game are once in the normal probability state. And when it is a special result aspect accompanied by establishment of predetermined conditions, it will be in a high probability state again after completion | finish of a special game state. In the case of a special result mode (normal symbol) that is not accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal probability state is maintained as it is even after the special game state is ended.

  In addition, as described above, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes a normal operation state (a state in which no extension of normal power is extended) and a short-time operation state (a state in which the power transmission is extended). The states include a normal probability state and a high probability state. These combinations constitute four game states, a normal game state, a first specific game state, a second specific game state, and a third specific game state, and the game control device 30 is in any one game state based on a predetermined condition. Is set. The normal game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the normal operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variable display game is the normal probability state. In the first specific gaming state, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, the probability state of the special figure variation display game is a high probability state, and the probability state of the special figure variation display game is high. It is a gaming state that informs that it is a probability state. The second specific game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is a short-time operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variation display game is a normal probability state or a high probability state. This is a gaming state in which the probability state of the variable display game is not notified. The third specific gaming state is a gaming state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is a normal operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variation display game is a normal probability state or a high probability state. This is a gaming state in which the probability state of the variable display game is not notified.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 is input from sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the detected game ball detection signal, the payout motor of the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

  In addition, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal (change time command, change stop command, etc.) from the game control device 30, the display device 41 displays a decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game. Controls processing and effects.

  Next, an example of the transition from the normal gaming state to the special gaming state (big hit or small hit) and the specific gaming state that shifts after the special gaming state ends will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the normal gaming state, when a 16R jackpot (16R probability variable jackpot or 16R normal jackpot) is won, the first special gaming state occurs, and the open / close door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened to win a big prize. 16 rounds of control to enable the inflow of game balls into the mouth. When the 16R jackpot is generated by deriving the first specific symbol for notifying that the 16R jackpot is shifted to the high probability state after the jackpot is ended, the game shifts to the first specific gaming state after the 16R jackpot is ended.
Further, in the case of 16R big hit that is generated by deriving the fifth specific symbol that does not notify the transition to the high probability state after the big hit ends, the 16R big hit shifts to the second specific gaming state after the 16R big hit ends.

On the other hand, in the normal gaming state, when the 2R big hit (2R positive variation big hit or 2R normal big hit) or the small win is won, the second special gaming state is generated, and the open / close door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened to enter the big winning opening. Two rounds of control to enable the inflow of game balls. And in the case of 2R big hit which arises by derivation | leading-out of the 2nd specific symbol which alert | reports that this 2R big hit will transfer to a high probability state after the big hit, it will transfer to the 1st specific gaming state after the said 2R big hit.
In addition, the third specific symbol (2R probability variable big hit) or the fourth specific symbol (2R normal big hit) that does not notify that the 2R big hit will shift to a high probability state after the big hit ends and becomes short-time operation state after the big hit ends In the case of 2R jackpot generated by the derivation of, the transition to the second specific gaming state is made after the 2R jackpot ends.
Further, in the case of 2R big hit that is generated by derivation of the sixth or seventh specific symbol that does not notify that the 2R big hit will shift to the high probability state after the big hit ends and does not enter the short-time operation state after the big hit ends, After the big hit, the third specific gaming state is entered.
In addition, after the end of the small hit generated by the derivation of the eighth specific symbol, it shifts to the third specific gaming state.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the 16R big hit (16R probability variation big hit or 16R normal big hit) is won in the state of shifting to the first specific gaming state, the state shifts to the first special gaming state.
On the other hand, in the state of transition to the first specific gaming state, when the 2R big hit (2R probability variation big hit or 2R normal big hit) or the small hit is won, the state shifts to the second special gaming state.

In addition, in the state of transition to the second specific gaming state, when the 16R big hit (16R probability variation big hit or 16R normal big hit) is won, the state shifts to the first special gaming state.
On the other hand, in a state in which the state is shifted to the second specific gaming state, when the 2R big hit (2R probability variation big hit or 2R normal big hit) or the small hit is won, the state shifts to the second special gaming state.
In addition, in the state of transition to the second specific gaming state, the specified special figure variation display game number of times is digested, and the jackpot symbol in the special figure variation display game that triggered the transition to the second specific gaming state is the first In the case of 3 specific symbols (2R probability variation big hit), the game proceeds to the first specific gaming state.
In addition, in the state of transition to the second specific game state, the specified special figure variation display game number of times is digested, and the jackpot symbol in the special figure variation display game that triggered the transition to the second specific game state is the first In the case of 4 specific symbols (2R normal big hit), it shifts to the normal gaming state.

In addition, in the state of transition to the third specific gaming state, when the 16R big hit (16R probability variation big hit or 16R normal big hit) is won, the state shifts to the first special gaming state.
On the other hand, in the state of transition to the third specific gaming state, when the 2R big hit (2R probability variation big hit or 2R normal big hit) or the small hit is won, the state shifts to the second special gaming state.
In addition, in the state that has shifted to the third specific gaming state, the specified special figure variation display game number of times is digested, and the jackpot symbol in the special figure variation display game that triggered the transition to the third specific gaming state is the first In the case of 6 specific symbols (2R probability variation big hit), the state shifts to the first specific gaming state.
In addition, in the state that has shifted to the third specific gaming state, the specified special figure variation display game number of times is digested, and the jackpot symbol in the special figure variation display game that triggered the transition to the second specific gaming state is the first In the case of 7 specific symbols (2R normal big hit) or 8 specific symbols (small hit), it shifts to the normal gaming state.

  Next, game control in the game control device 30 will be described. The game control mainly includes a main process and a timer interrupt process performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec).

[Main processing]
In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the main process includes a process at the start of the program, a process for returning to the state at the time of the power failure, a process of the main loop, and a process at the time of the power failure.

  In the main processing, first, processing at the start of the program is performed. The process at the start of the program is initially performed as an initial setting, in which an interrupt is prohibited (step S1) and an interrupt vector is set (step S2). Further, processing for setting the stack pointer (step S3) is performed, and processing for setting the interrupt mode (step S4) is performed. Thereafter, processing for permitting access to the RAM (RWM) 31c (step S5) is performed, and processing for turning off all output ports (step S6) is performed.

  Next, the backup clear switch is checked. The RAM 31c of the game control device 30 is backed up by the backup power source of the power supply device. If the backup clear switch is ON when the power is turned on, the RAM 31c is initialized. . As a check of the backup clear switch, it is determined whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7).

  In the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), if the backup clear switch is not ON (step S7; No), the power failure recovery determination is performed. As a determination of the power failure recovery, first, a process of checking the power failure inspection area (step S8) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the power failure is recovered (step S9).

  In the power outage inspection area, as will be described later, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 100 is cut off due to a power outage, power outage recovery inspection area check data is set (step S26). Inspection area check data is not stored. Therefore, by determining the presence or absence of this power failure recovery inspection area check data, it is possible to determine whether or not it is power failure recovery.

  In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is not restored (step S9; No), a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed. In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is restored (step S9; Yes), it is determined whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10).

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), the backed up data in the RAM 31c is compared with the check data, and if both match, it is determined to be normal, and if they do not match, it is determined to be abnormal. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether the information stored in the RAM 31c is correctly backed up.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is not normal (step S10; No), a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed. Note that the case where the data in the RAM 31c and the check data do not match in this manner includes, for example, when the data is destroyed due to an abnormal current of lightning strikes, when the pachinko gaming machine 100 is first installed, Is considered to have exceeded the time available for backup. Further, it is conceivable that the RAM 31c is initialized because the connection between the power supply device and the game control device 30 is cut off for some reason and the backup power is not supplied. Furthermore, since the illegal game control device 30 is often not backed up in the RAM 31c, it is conceivable that the illegal game control device 30 is attached.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is normal (step S10; Yes), processing for returning to the state at the time of the power failure is performed.

  As processing for returning to the state at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, processing for setting an initial value at the time of power failure recovery (step S11) is performed in the RAM 31c. Furthermore, after performing the process (step S12) which clears the area | region concerning the state of a game frame, the process (step S13) which transmits a power failure recovery command is performed.

It is determined whether or not the game result of the variable display game in the game is a small hit (step g807).

When it is determined whether or not the game result of the variable display game is a small hit (step g807), if the game result of the variable display game is a small hit (step g807; Yes), the stop time 1 (win stop symbol) (Display time) (2000 ms) is set (step g806), the special figure display processing setting table is set (step g811), and the special figure changing processing is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the game result of the variable display game is a small hit (step g807), if the game result of the variable display game is not a small hit (step g807; No), it is counted during the short-time gaming state. Whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter to be executed is a specific value (any one of “0”, “20”, “40”, “60”, and “80”) (step g808). I do.

In the determination of whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g808), if the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g808; Yes), that is, executed during the time-saving operation state. When the number of executions of the special figure change display game to be executed reaches any one of “20 times”, “40 times”, “60 times”, “80 times”, and “100 times”, FIG. ), (4), a process for setting stop time 3 (special stop symbol display time (special derived display time)) (3000 ms) is performed (step g809), and a special figure display processing setting table is set. The process (step g811) is performed, and the special figure changing process is terminated.
For example, the number of special figure change display games in the short-time operation state is “60 times”, and the number of executions of the special figure change display games when the stop time 3 is set is “20 times” or “40 times”. In this case, during the set stop time 3, as shown in FIGS. 27 (1) and (2), the “continue done!” And “end time ...” displayed on the screen of the display device 41 are displayed. A lantern ghost ghost jumps up and down beside the character, and as shown in FIG. 27 (3), the lantern ghost is superimposed and displayed on the characters “Continued!” As shown in FIG. 27 (4). In addition, an effect display for notifying that the short-time operation state has continued is performed. Further, when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game when the stop time 3 is set is “60 times”, during the set stop time 3, as shown in FIGS. Next to the characters “Continued !!!!” and “End…” displayed on the screen of the display device 41, an effect display in which the lantern haunted jumps up and down is performed. As shown in FIG. The ghost is superimposed on the characters “Ending ...” and, as shown in FIG. 27 (6), an effect display for notifying that the short-time operation state has ended is performed. Such effect control is controlled by the effect control device 40 based on the information transmitted from the game control device 30.
On the other hand, when the value of the special stop monitoring counter is not a specific value in the determination of whether the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g808) (step g808; No), FIG.

In the determination of whether or not the big hit flag is a big hit (step g906), if the big hit flag is a big hit (step g906; Yes), the decorative big hit symbol command is set in the decorative big hit symbol command area. A set process (step g907) is performed, a change count monitoring counter is set to “0” (step g908), and a special stop end process (step g909) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the special stop end process (step g909) performs a process of clearing the selection table change flag (step g909a) and sets the value of the special stop monitoring counter to “0” (step g909b). To terminate the special stop termination process. Then, the process returns to the special figure display process, the conditional device operation start process (step g910) is performed, and the special figure display process is terminated.

  In the determination of whether or not the big hit flag generates a big hit (step g906), if the big hit flag does not generate a big hit (step g906; No), the small hit flag generates a small hit (step g906).

  In the special stop monitoring process (step g914), as shown in FIG. 23, first, it is determined whether or not there is a selection table change flag (step g914a). In the determination of whether or not there is a selection table change flag (step g914a), if there is a selection table change flag (step g914a; Yes), a process of decrementing the value of the special stop monitoring counter by 1 (step g914b) is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is smaller than “0” (step g914c).

  In the determination of whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is smaller than “0” (step g914c), when the value of the special stop monitoring counter is smaller than “0” (step g914c; Yes), the special stop monitoring counter A process of setting the value to “0” (step g914d) is performed, a process of clearing the selection table change flag (step g914e) is performed, and the special stop monitoring process is terminated.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a selection table change flag (step g914a), if there is no selection table change flag (step g914a; No), and whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is smaller than “0”. In the determination (step g914c), when the value of the special stop monitoring counter is not smaller than “0” (step g914c; No), the special stop monitoring process is terminated.

  Then, the process returns to the special figure display process, and it is determined whether or not the variable time shortening function is operating (during the short-time operation state) (step g915). In the determination of whether or not the variable time shortening function is in operation (step g915), if the variable time reduction function is in operation (step g915; Yes), it is determined whether or not the high probability state is in effect (step g916). Do.

It is determined whether the value of is less than “0” (step g918).

  In the determination of whether or not the value of the fluctuation number monitoring counter is smaller than “0” (step g918), if the value of the fluctuation number monitoring counter is smaller than “0” (step g918; Yes), the fluctuation time reduction function is activated. Processing for setting an end command (step g919) is performed, and command setting processing (step g920) is performed. Then, a process of setting a setting table at the end of operation of the variable time shortening function is performed (step g921), and the special figure display process is terminated.

[Big hits end processing]
Next, the details of the jackpot end process in the above-described special figure game process will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the jackpot end process, first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is the first or second specific symbol (step g1301).

  In the determination of whether or not the jackpot symbol is the first or second specific symbol (step g1301), if the jackpot symbol is the first or second specific symbol (step g1301; Yes), high probability determination information is set. A process (step g1302) is performed, a process of setting a normal operation setting table (step g1307) is performed, and the jackpot end process is terminated.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not the big hit symbol is the first or second specific symbol (step g1301), if the big hit symbol is not the first or second specific symbol (step g1301; No), the big hit symbol is the first 3. It is determined whether or not the symbol is the fourth, fifth or fifth specific symbol (step g1303).

  When determining whether or not the jackpot symbol is the third, fourth or fifth specific symbol (step g1303), if the jackpot symbol is any of the third, fourth or fifth specific symbol (step g1303; Yes) performs processing (step g1304) for setting any value of “19”, “39”, “59”, “79”, or “99” to the fluctuation number monitoring counter based on the jackpot symbol at this time. And a process (step g1305) for setting a value corresponding to the fluctuation number monitoring counter in the special stop monitoring counter.

  Next, a process of setting a selection table change flag (step g1306) is performed, a process of setting a normal operation setting table (step g1307) is performed, and the jackpot end process is terminated.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not the big hit symbol is the third, fourth or fifth specific symbol (step g1303), when the big hit symbol is not any of the third, fourth or fifth specific symbol (step g1303; No) is a process (step g1308) for setting any value of “19”, “39”, “59”, “79” or “99” to the special stop monitoring counter based on the jackpot symbol at this time. Then, a process of setting a selection table change flag (step g1306) is performed, a process of setting a normal operation setting table (step g1307) is performed, and the big hit end process is terminated. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 28, when the jackpot symbol is symbol 122 (seventh specific symbol) (step g1303; No), the number of time reductions at this time is “40 times”. A process of setting a value of “39” to the special stop monitoring counter (step g1304) is performed. The reason why the value of “40”, which is the number of time reductions at this time, is not set in the special stop monitoring counter here is to prevent the stop time 3 from being set in the first variable display game in the time reduction operation state. Yes (step g808; see FIG. 20).

In other words, the game control device 30 serves as a specific game state generating means for setting a specific game state to a period from the end of the special game state generated when the special result mode is derived until the predetermined number of times of the variable display game is executed.
In addition, the game control device 30 serves as a specific game state continuation number selection means for selecting the number of executions of the variable display game to be in the specific game state from a predetermined number of times.

[Small hit end processing]
Next, details of the small hit end process in the above-described special figure game process will be described. As shown in FIG. 25, in the small hit end processing, any one of “19”, “39”, “59”, “79” or “99” is displayed in the special stop monitoring counter based on the small hit symbol at this time. A process for setting a value (step g1701) is performed, then a process for setting a selection table change flag (step g1702) is performed, a process for setting a normal operation setting table (step g1703) is performed, and the small hit end process is terminated. To do.

  Next, when it is determined in step g22 and step g23 of the latter half variation pattern setting process that there is a selection table change flag, a table switching pattern for obtaining a variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table, With reference to FIGS. 28 to 32, the table switching pattern for obtaining the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table when it is determined that there is a selection table change flag in step g601e and step g601f of the variation pattern setting process. explain.

  The table switching patterns shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 30 are when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the normal big hit (16R normal big hit or 2R normal big hit), and the second specific gaming state or the third It is a table switching pattern used during the special figure variation display game in a specific gaming state. The variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A or variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A or variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B are referred to by referring to the table switching pattern. The number of time reductions as the acquisition period during which the acquisition is performed (the number of special figure change display games in the short-time operation state) is set based on the special symbol (big hit symbol) of the result mode derived most recently. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 30, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 151 (the seventh specific symbol (2R normal big hit)), the random number 1 for variation pattern determination The acquisition period for acquiring the determination table A or the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A or the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B is a special figure variation in the short-time operation state. It is set as a time during which the display game is executed 100 times.

  When the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 151, either the table switching pattern I or the table switching pattern II is selected before the first special figure variation display game is executed. The Specifically, for example, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the pattern 151, when the selection table change flag is set in the jackpot end process (step g1306), the rate is 80%. The table switching pattern I is selected, and the table switching pattern II is selected at a rate of 20%. Then, in the latter half variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 15 and the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 18, the selected table switching pattern I or table switching pattern II is referred to, and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game (1-19) , 20 times, 21 to 39 times... 100 times), the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are acquired. Specifically, for example, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 151 and the table switching pattern I is selected, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 33 (1). Furthermore, the random pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table for the first to nineteenth times in the short-time operation state are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B, The 20th variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A and variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A, and the 21st to 39th variation pattern determination. The random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A. And the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A,..., The 100th variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A and variation pattern determination random number. 3 determination table A.

  In addition, the table switching patterns shown in FIGS. 29 and 31 are when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is a probability variation big hit (16R probability variation big hit or 2R probability variation big hit), and the second specific gaming state or It is a table switching pattern used during the special figure fluctuation display game of a 3rd specific game state. The variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A or variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A or variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B are referred to by referring to the table switching pattern. The number of time reductions as the acquisition period during which the acquisition is performed (the number of special figure change display games in the short-time operation state) is set based on the special symbol (big hit symbol) of the result mode derived most recently. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 31, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 251 (sixth specific symbol (2R probability variation big hit)), the random number 1 for variation pattern determination The acquisition period for acquiring the determination table A or the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A or the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B is a special figure variation in the short-time operation state. It is set as a time during which the display game is executed 100 times.

When the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the pattern 251, either the table switching pattern I or the table switching pattern II is selected before the first special figure variation display game is executed. The Specifically, for example, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the pattern 251, when the selection table change flag is set in the jackpot end process (step g1306), the rate is 80%. The table switching pattern I is selected, and the table switching pattern II is selected at a rate of 20%.
Here, the table switching pattern I when the most recently derived special figure variation display game result mode is a probable big hit is the table switching pattern I when the most recently derived special figure variation display game result mode is a normal big hit. The table switching pattern II in the case of the probability variation big hit corresponds to the table switching pattern I in the case of the normal big hit. Therefore, depending on which table switching pattern is selected, it is possible to suggest the possibility that the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is a probable big hit.
Then, in the latter half variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 15 and the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 18, the selected table switching pattern I or table switching pattern II is referred to, and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game (1-19) , 20 times, 21 to 39 times... 100 times), the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are acquired. Specifically, for example, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the pattern 251 and the table switching pattern I is selected, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 33 (2). Furthermore, the random pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table for the first to nineteenth times in the short-time operation state are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B, The 20th variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A and variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A, and the 21st to 39th variation pattern determination. The random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A. And the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A,..., The 100th variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number. 3 determination table B.

  The table switching pattern shown in FIG. 32 is used when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is a small hit, and is used during the special figure fluctuation display game in the short-time operation state after the small hit. It is a table switching pattern. The variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A or variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B and the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A or variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B are referred to by referring to the table switching pattern. The number of time reductions (number of special figure fluctuation display games in the short-time operation state) as the acquisition period for obtaining is the latest as in the case where the result form of the special figure fluctuation display game derived most recently is the normal big hit or the probable big hit It is set based on the special symbol (small winning symbol) of the derived result mode.

That is, the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) acquires the variation table acquired in the variation display game executed immediately before as the variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game, and the specific variation display. As the game variation table, a variation table different from the variation table obtained in the variation display game executed immediately before can be acquired.
As a result, the special derived display time setting means has a special derived display time longer than the normal derived display time as the derived display time when the stop result mode does not become the special result mode for a specific variable display game determined in advance. The derivation display time can be set, and the variation table acquisition means acquires the variation table acquired in the variation display game executed immediately before as the variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game. As the variation table of the variation display game, a variation table different from the variation table acquired in the variation display game executed immediately before can be acquired. Therefore, in the specific variation display game in which the special derivation display time is set, Switch to a variation table different from the variation table of the executed variation display game. Rukoto is possible.
Therefore, by switching the variation table of the variation display game in the specific variation display game in which the special derivation display time is set, and by making the derivation display time of the specific variation display game longer than the normal derivation display time, Since it is possible to have a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the gaming result.

In addition, since the fluctuation table includes a normal fluctuation table and a special fluctuation table having a higher occurrence frequency of effects in the fluctuation display game than the normal fluctuation table, in a specific fluctuation display game in which a special derivation display time is set. The normal variation table and the special variation table can be switched, and the occurrence frequency of the effect in the variation display game changes, so that the player can be prevented from getting bored.
Further, it becomes possible to concentrate the production during the period when the special variation table is acquired, and it is possible to execute the production that gives a high expectation to the game result.

Also, the special derivation display time setting means (game control device 30) stops the variable display game for the variable display game in which the number of executions of the variable display game from the end of the special game state in the specific game state is the specific number of times. The special derivation display time is set as the derivation display time when the result mode does not become the special result mode.
Thereby, for the variable display game in which the number of executions of the variable display game from the end of the special game state in the specific game state is the specific number of times, the derived display time when the stop result mode of the variable display game does not become the special result mode As a special derivation display time can be set.
Therefore, there may have been any change in the game state by setting the special derivation display time in the variable display game in which the number of executions of the variable display game from the end of the special game state is the specific number of times in the specific game state. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation, and it is possible to give a sense of expectation to the variable display game after the specific number of times in the specific game state.
In addition, the setting of the special derivation display time and the timing of changing the variation table can be known in advance, and the expectation can be enhanced toward the specific number of times.

Further, the fluctuation table acquisition means (game control device 30) acquires the fluctuation table acquired in the fluctuation display game executed immediately before as the fluctuation table of the fluctuation display game other than the specific fluctuation display game, and the specific fluctuation display. As the game variation table, a variation table determined according to the most recently derived special result mode is acquired.
As a result, the special derived display time setting means has a special derived display time longer than the normal derived display time as the derived display time when the stop result mode does not become the special result mode for a specific variable display game determined in advance. The derivation display time can be set, and the variation table acquisition means acquires the variation table acquired in the variation display game executed immediately before as the variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game. As the variation table of the variation display game, a variation table determined according to the most recently derived special result mode can be obtained, so that it is derived most recently in a specific variation display game in which the special derivation display time is set. Different from the variation table of the variation display game executed immediately before according to the special result mode It is possible to switch the dynamic table.
Therefore, in a specific variation display game for which a special derivation display time is set, the variation table of the variation display game is switched according to the special result mode derived most recently, and the derivation display time of the variation display game is normally derived. By making it longer than the display time, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state, so it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result It becomes like this.
It is also possible to associate the special result mode with the subsequent execution mode of the variable display game.

Further, the special derivation display time setting means (game control device 30) sets the special derivation display time for the specific variable display game executed in the specific game state.
As a result, the specific game state generating means can set the specific game state to the period from the end of the special game state generated when the special result mode is derived to the execution of the predetermined number of variable display games. The continuation number selection means can select the number of executions of the variable display game to be in the specific gaming state according to the most recently derived special result mode from among a plurality of predetermined number of times. The period for setting the special derivation display time can be changed by the time setting means, and the effect of the variable display game can be changed more variously.

  The selection of the table switching pattern when acquiring the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table and the selection of the table switching pattern when acquiring the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table are not limited to being performed in common. You may make it select when acquiring each table.

  Next, characteristics of the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A and the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B will be described.

As shown in FIG. 34 (1 a), when the result mode of the special figure variation display game is the outlier result mode, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is acquired as the occurrence rate of the second half variation pattern. (180/256) is set to be higher than that when the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A is acquired (90/256).
Thereby, for example, as shown in FIG. 28, when the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game derived most recently is the symbol 120, the first half of the 40 special figure fluctuation display games in the short-time operation state is the first half. The random pattern determination random number 1 determination table B for the -19th time is acquired, and the random pattern determination random number 1 determination table A for the 21st to the 39th time is acquired, and the reach (production) frequently occurs in the first half. It becomes.
In other words, the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) performs the variation display game for the variation display game until the number of executions of the variation display game from the end of the special gaming state in the specific gaming state reaches the first predetermined number of times. When the stop result mode is not the special result mode, the special variation table is acquired.
Thereby, the stop result mode of the variable display game does not become the special result mode for the variable display game until the number of executions of the variable display game from the end of the special game state in the specific game state reaches the first predetermined number of times. In addition, since the special variation table can be acquired, the frequency of production in the variation display game is increased in the early stage of the specific gaming state, and a sense of expectation that the special result mode will be restored again in a short time from the end of the special gaming state. Can be held by the player.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 28, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 121, the first to the 19th time, which is the first half of the 40 special figure variation display games in the short-time operation state. Fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A is acquired, and fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is acquired in the latter half of the 21st to 39th times, and reach (production) frequently occurs in the second half.
In other words, the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) is predetermined from the variation display game in which the number of executions of the variation display game from the end of the special game state in the specific game state is the second predetermined number of times before the predetermined number of times. For the variable display game up to the number of times, when the stop result mode of the variable display game is not the special result mode, the special variation table is acquired.
As a result, the number of executions of the variable display game from the end of the special game state in the specific game state to the variable display game from the second predetermined number of times before the predetermined number of times to the predetermined number of times. Since the special variation table can be acquired when the stop result mode of the variation display game does not become the special result mode, the frequency of the presentation in the variation display game increases at the end of the specific game state, and the specific game state It is possible to suitably maintain the feeling of expectation that a special result mode will be obtained again in the end.

Further, as shown in FIG. 34 (1b), the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B in the case where the result mode of the special figure variation display game is the special result mode (big hit) is more than N (normal) reach and N reach. The occurrence rates of SP (special) 1 reach with high expectations for jackpots and SP (special) 2 reach with high expectations for jackpots are equalized.
The occurrence rate of N (normal) reach in the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is higher than the occurrence rate of N (normal) reach in the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A.
As a result, when the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is acquired, it is a big hit even when N reach occurs as an effect, compared to when the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A is acquired. The possibility increases, and it is possible to have an unexpectedness to the occurrence of the big hit.
Note that the occurrence rate of N reach in the random number 1 determination table B for variation pattern determination when the result mode of the special figure variation display game is a win (special result mode) is not limited to this, and is as shown in FIG. In addition, it may be set extremely higher than the occurrence rate of SP1 reach and SP2 reach.
As a result, when the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is acquired, the possibility of a big hit even when N reach occurs as an effect is further increased, and the unexpectedness with respect to the occurrence of the big hit is further increased. You can have it.

In addition, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game is a win (special result mode), the occurrence rate of SP2 reach in the random number 1 determination table B for variation pattern determination is N reach, as shown in FIG. You may make it set extremely high compared with the incidence rate of SP1 reach.
As a result, when the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is acquired, it is possible to frequently generate an SP2 reach with a high degree of expectation for a big hit but a low probability of occurrence, which is rare for the player. You can see a high production.

In addition, the reach occurrence rate of the random number 1 determination table B for variation pattern determination when the result mode of the special figure variation display game is the outlier result mode is 0% as shown in FIG. When the result mode is a hit (special result mode), the occurrence rate of SP2 reach in the random number 1 determination table B for variation pattern determination may be 100% as shown in FIG. 35 (4b). In this case, in the first half variation pattern of the special figure variation display game, the display device 41 performs an effect display such as “If a reach occurs, it is extremely hot!”.
As a result, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game is an outlier result mode, the reach does not occur, so that the digestion of the special figure variation display game can be accelerated, and the result mode of the special figure variation display game is the hit. In this case, since the jackpot is determined by the occurrence of SP2 reach, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that SP2 reach will occur.

<Modification 1>
Hereinafter, Modification 1 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment will be described.
Note that the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first modification has a configuration substantially similar to that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment, and different parts will be mainly described.

  As shown in FIGS. 35 (5a) and (5b), the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first modification example has a special view variation display game in which the result mode is a hit (special result mode) or a outlier result mode. It is set so that reach is always generated when the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is acquired.

As shown in FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, the table switching pattern I and the table switching pattern II used when the most recently derived special figure fluctuation display game result mode is a normal big hit or a probable big hit, When the number of executions of the figure fluctuation display game is 20, 20, 40, 80, 100, that is, the value of the special stop monitoring counter becomes a specific value, and the special stop symbol display time ( When the special derivation display time) is set (see FIG. 20), the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B is always acquired.
As a result, the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is a big hit, and the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game in the short-time operation state after the big hit ends is 20, 40, 60, 80 times. Or, when reaching 100 times, reach will always occur in the special figure variation display game, and the time for displaying the stop result mode will be longer than usual.
That is, the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) acquires a reach variation table that can set only a variation pattern that causes reach in the variation display game as a variation table acquired for a specific variation display game. .

Accordingly, the variation table obtaining means can set only the variation pattern that causes reach in the variation display game as the variation table acquired for the variation display game in which the special derivation display time setting unit sets the special derivation display time. A variation table can be acquired.
Therefore, by making the derived display time of the variable display game longer than the normal derived display time, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state.
Further, by generating reach in a specific variable display game in which the special derivation display time is set, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result.
Also, by generating reach in a specific variable display game for which a special derivation display time is set, the player's consciousness is concentrated on the variable display game, and the stop result mode is displayed with this consciousness concentrated. Thus, it is possible not to miss the display of the stop result mode based on the setting of the special derivation display time.

<Modification 2>
Hereinafter, Modification 2 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment will be described.
Note that the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second modified example has substantially the same configuration as that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment, and different parts will be mainly described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second modification, as shown in FIG. 40, the random number 1 determination table B for determining the variation pattern is composed of a plurality of types. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40 (1) to (5), it is made up of five patterns of random number 1 determination tables B1 to B5 for determining a variation pattern. In each table, when a completely out-of-reach mode in which reach does not occur in the latter half variation pattern is derived, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B1 determines a variation pattern with a variation time of 8000 ms and variation pattern determination random number 1 determination. In the table B2, the fluctuation pattern has a fluctuation time of 7000 ms. In the fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B3, the fluctuation pattern has a fluctuation time of 6000 ms. In the fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B4, the fluctuation pattern has a fluctuation time of 5000 ms. In the fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B5, a fluctuation pattern having a fluctuation time of 4000 ms is selected.

For example, as shown in FIG. 38 and FIG. 41 (1), when the result mode of the most recently derived special figure variation display game is the symbol 159, when the table switching pattern I is selected, the special diagram variation When the number of executions of the display game is 1 to 19, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B5 is acquired, and when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 20 and 21 to 39, the variation pattern When the determination random number 1 determination table B4 is acquired and the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game is 40 times and 41 to 59 times, the fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B3 is acquired and the special figure fluctuation display is performed. When the number of game executions is 60 and 61 to 79, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B2 is acquired, and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 80 and 81 to 9 When it is nine times, the random number 1 determination table B1 for determining the variation pattern is acquired.
Therefore, when the result mode in each execution count of the special figure change display game for which the table switching pattern I is selected is a completely out of mode, the change time of the change pattern is stepwise as the execution count increases. become longer.
On the other hand, when the result mode in each execution number of the special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern II is selected is a completely out of mode, the variation time of the variation pattern is stepwise as the number of executions increases. Shorter.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 39 and 41 (2), when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the pattern 259, when the table switching pattern I is selected, the special figure variation is selected. When the number of executions of the display game is 1 to 19, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B1 is acquired, and when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 20 and 21 to 39, the variation pattern When the determination random number 1 determination table B2 is acquired and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 40 times and 41 to 59 times, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B3 is acquired and the special figure variation display is performed. When the number of executions of the game is 60 times and 61 to 79 times, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table B4 is acquired, and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 80 times and 81 to 99. In the case of the first round, the random number 1 determination table B5 for determining the variation pattern is acquired.
Therefore, when the result mode in each execution number of the special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern I is selected is a completely out of the aspect, the variation time of the variation pattern of each special figure variation display game is Each time it increases, it becomes shorter in steps.
On the other hand, when the result mode in the number of executions of each special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern II is selected is a completely out of the aspect, the variation time of the variation pattern of each special figure variation display game is Each time it increases, it becomes longer stepwise.
That is, the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) acquires the variation table acquired for a specific variation display game according to a predetermined acquisition order.

Thus, the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) can acquire the variation table acquired for the variation display game for which the special derivation display time is set in accordance with the predetermined acquisition order. In a specific variation display game in which is set, the variation table can be switched to a variation table according to a predetermined acquisition order.
Therefore, in a specific variation display game in which the special derivation display time is set, by switching the variation table to a variation table according to a predetermined acquisition order, the player feels that there is a rule for switching the variation table. It can enhance interest. Also, by making the derived display time of the variable display game longer than the normal derived display time, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state, It is possible to perform a production that gives a high expectation.

  In addition, the fluctuation table includes a normal fluctuation table and a plurality of special fluctuation tables having a higher occurrence frequency of effects in the fluctuation display game than the normal fluctuation table, and the acquisition order is acquired in the fluctuation display game executed immediately before. If the variation table is a special variation table, one special variation table is set to be acquired from among the special variation tables.

  Thereby, the acquisition order is set to acquire one special variation table from the special variation tables when the variation table acquired in the variation display game executed immediately before is a special variation table. As a result, the state where the production frequency is high continues by the continuous variation display game obtained from the special variation table, and a higher expectation can be given to the game result.

  The special variation table includes a plurality of variation tables having different variation times when the stop result mode of the variation display game does not become the special result mode, and the acquisition order is obtained every time the variation table acquisition unit acquires the special variation table. , Each time the variation table acquisition means acquires the special variation table, the shortening pattern in which the variation time is the same or shorter when the stop result mode of the variation display game based on the acquired special variation table is not the special result mode, It is set to acquire either the extended pattern in which the variation time is the same or longer when the stop result mode of the variation display game based on the acquired special variation table is not the special result mode.

  Thereby, when the shortening pattern is selected as the acquisition order, the variation time in the variation display game based on the acquired special variation table becomes the same or shorter every time the variation table acquisition means acquires the special variation table. When the extension pattern is selected, the variation time in the variation display game based on the acquired special variation table is the same every time the variation table acquisition means acquires the special variation table. Alternatively, by gradually eliminating the sense of speed by increasing the length, it is possible to make the player feel that there is a law for switching the variation table, and to enhance the interest appropriately. Also, since there are two types of acquisition orders, shortened patterns and extended patterns, pattern changes are easy to understand.

  In addition, when the probability is high, the variation table acquisition unit (game control device 30) acquires the variation table according to the shortened pattern at a higher rate than the extended pattern.

  Thereby, when the probability is high by the variation table acquisition means, the variation table is acquired according to the shortening pattern at a higher rate than the extension pattern, so that the variation table is acquired according to the shortening pattern. Thus, it can be suggested that the probability is high, and a high expectation can be given to the game result.

<Modification 3>
Hereinafter, Modification 3 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the third modification has a configuration substantially similar to that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment, and different parts will be mainly described.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100, as shown in FIG. 42 (1), as the first-half variation pattern, the normal variation of the first-half variation pattern number “01”, the shortened variation of the first-half variation pattern number “02”, and the first-half variation pattern “03”. ”, A first half variation pattern number“ 04 ”, a first half variation pattern number“ 05 ”, a first half variation pattern“ 06 ”, a first half variation pattern“ 06 ”, a first half variation pattern“ 07 ”. ”, And any one of the first half variation patterns is determined with reference to the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table.
Then, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modification 3 determines the second half variation pattern based on the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table A set in advance. Therefore, unlike the latter half variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 15, as shown in FIG. 43, the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table is acquired without referring to the presence or absence of the selection table change flag. Then, as shown in FIGS. 42 (2) and (3), a variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table (first half variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A or first half variation pattern determination random number) for determining the first half variation pattern. Only the 3 determination table B) is switched.
That is, the first-half fluctuation table acquisition means (game control device 30) acquires the first-half fluctuation table acquired in the last-run fluctuation-display game as the first-half fluctuation table of the fluctuation-display game other than the specific fluctuation-display game. As the first half variation table of the variation display game, a first half variation table different from the first half variation table obtained in the variation display game executed immediately before can be obtained.

As a result, the special derivation display time setting means has a special derivation display time longer than the normal derivation display time as the derivation display time when the stop result mode does not become the special result mode for the specific variable display game determined in advance. The derived display time can be set, and the fluctuation table obtaining means obtains the first half fluctuation table obtained in the fluctuation display game executed immediately before as the first half fluctuation table of the fluctuation display game other than the specific fluctuation display game, As the first half variation table of a specific variation display game, it is possible to obtain a first half variation table that is different from the first half variation table obtained in the variation display game executed immediately before. In the game, it is different from the first half fluctuation table of the fluctuation display game executed immediately before. It is possible to switch in the first half of the variation table that.
Therefore, in the specific variable display game for which the special derived display time is set, the first variation table of the variable display game is switched, and the derived display time of the specific variable display game is made longer than the normal derived display time. Since it is possible to give a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the gaming state, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result. Further, since only the first half variation table is switched among the variation tables, the variation table can be switched without being influenced by the result mode of the variation display game.

FIG. 42 (2) shows a case where the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A is acquired, and is a table showing the types of first-half variation patterns that can be determined according to the determined types of latter-half variation patterns.
Specifically, for example, when the latter-half fluctuation pattern without reach is selected, the pseudo-sequence STEP3 of the first-half variation pattern number “06” and the pseudo-sequence STEP4 of the first-half variation pattern number “07” are used as the first-half variation pattern. Settings are made so that they are not selected. Further, when the latter half variation pattern that generates N reach is selected, the first half variation pattern is a shortened variation of the first half variation pattern number “02”, a very short variation of the first half variation pattern number “03”, and the first half variation pattern number. The setting is made so that the pseudo-sequence STEP3 of “06” and the pseudo-sequence STEP4 of the first half variation pattern number “07” are not selected.

On the other hand, FIG. 42 (3) shows the case where the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B is acquired, and shows the types of the first half variation patterns that can be determined according to the determined second variation pattern types. It is a table to show.
Specifically, for example, when the latter-half fluctuation pattern without reach is selected, unlike the case where the first-half fluctuation pattern determining random number 3 determination table A is acquired, the first-half fluctuation pattern number “ The setting is made so that the pseudo series STEP3 of “06” and the pseudo series STEP4 of the first half variation pattern number “07” are selected. When the latter half variation pattern that generates N reach is selected, unlike the case where the first half variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A is acquired, the first half variation pattern number “06” is used as the first half variation pattern. Setting is made so that pseudo-STEP STEP3 is selected.
Thereby, when the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B is acquired, it is possible to execute an effect that is not likely to be executed when the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A is acquired. It becomes like this.

Then, in the first half variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B, when the second half variation pattern without reach is selected, the probability that the pseudo-sequence STEP3 of the first half variation pattern number “06” is selected is the current special figure variation. The selection probability is set to be higher in the case of a high probability (50/256) than in the case of a predetermined normal probability (low probability) of the display game (20/256). . Similarly, the probability that the pseudo-sequence STEP4 of the first half variation pattern number “07” is selected is also the case where the current probability of hitting the special figure variation display game is a predetermined normal probability (low probability) (10/256). The higher probability (60/256) is set so that the selection probability is higher. Similarly, in the first half variation pattern table B, when the second half variation pattern that generates N reach is selected, the probability that the pseudo-STEP STEP3 of the first half variation pattern number “06” is selected is also the current special figure variation. The selection probability is set to be higher in the case of a high probability (64/256) than in the case of the normal probability (low probability) of the display game being predetermined (low probability) (32/256). .
Therefore, when the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A is acquired, the occurrence rate of the performance that is not likely to be executed is set higher in the high probability state than in the normal probability state. Therefore, it can be suggested that the gaming state is a high probability state.

  The pseudo-ream is a so-called “fluctuation display game” in which a re-variation display is started at least once after a temporary stop in a result mode other than the special result mode in the decoration special map display game. This refers to the pseudo continuous variation display mode.

[Second half fluctuation pattern setting process]
As shown in FIG. 43, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to Modification 3 does not determine whether or not there is a selection table change flag at step g30 and step g31. Thereby, only the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table is switched.

As shown in FIG. 44 (1), the first half variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A is acquired as the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table. For example, “normal variation” is selected as the first half variation pattern. Even if “pattern to generate N reach” is selected as the second half variation pattern, “normal variation” is selected as the first half variation pattern, and “pattern to generate SP1 reach” is selected as the second half variation pattern. The control for driving the accessory driving motor 42 that causes the operating agent 50 to perform a predetermined performance operation is not performed.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 44 (2), the first half variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B is acquired as the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table, and “normal variation” is selected as the first half variation pattern and the second half variation is determined. When “pattern to generate N reach” is selected as the pattern, the control for driving the accessory drive motor 42 in the normal direction for a predetermined time and then driving in the reverse direction for the predetermined time is performed once in the normal fluctuation time. In addition, when “normal fluctuation” is selected as the first half fluctuation pattern and “SP1 reach generation pattern” is selected as the second half fluctuation pattern, the accessory driving motor 42 is set to a predetermined value during the fluctuation time of the normal fluctuation. After the time of normal rotation driving, the control of reverse rotation driving for the predetermined time may be performed twice.

Therefore, it is possible to indicate which variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table has been acquired, depending on whether or not the effect operation accessory 50 operates.
In addition, it is possible to suggest which half-time fluctuation pattern is generated depending on the operation mode of the production operation accessory 50.

  Further, when the first variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table A is acquired as the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table, for example, control is performed to cause the LED board 44 provided in the effect operation accessory 50 to emit light for a predetermined time. However, as shown in FIG. 44 (3), the first half variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table B is acquired as the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table, and “normal variation” is selected as the first half variation pattern and the second half. When “a pattern that generates N reach” is selected as the variation pattern, the LED substrate 44 provided in the staging operation accessory 50 is controlled to emit light for a predetermined time during the variation time of the normal variation. “Normal fluctuation” is selected as the fluctuation pattern and “SP1 reach generation pattern” is selected as the latter half fluctuation pattern. If down "is selected, the change time of the normal variation, the control of the LED substrate 44 provided in the effect operation won game 50 for a predetermined time emission may be performed twice.

  Further, the random number 3 for determining the variation pattern is determined using the table selection pattern used when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived in the latest related to the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second variation is a normal big hit and a probable big hit. Only the table (first half variation pattern table A or first half variation pattern table B) may be changed. In this case, in the table selection pattern used when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the normal jackpot and the probability variation jackpot, the first-half variation pattern table B selected and determined is composed of a plurality of tables. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 45 (1) to (5), the first half variation pattern table B is composed of five tables, variation pattern tables B1 to B5. When normal fluctuation is selected from the first half fluctuation patterns in each table, the first half fluctuation pattern table B1 has a normal fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 8000 ms, and the first half fluctuation pattern table B2 has a normal fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 7000 ms. In the fluctuation pattern table B3, a normal fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 6000 ms is selected, a normal fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 5000 ms is selected in the first half fluctuation pattern table B4, and a normal fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 4000 ms is selected and determined in the first half fluctuation pattern table B5. It has become.

And, for example, as shown in FIG. 38, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 159, when the table switching pattern I is selected, the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is In the case of 1 to 19 times, the first half variation pattern table B5 is selected and determined, and in the case where the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 20 times and 21 to 39 times, the first half variation pattern table B4 is selected and determined. When the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game is 40 times and 41 to 59 times, the first half fluctuation pattern table B3 is selected and determined. When the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game is 60 times and 61 to 79 times, When the first variation pattern table B2 is selected and determined, and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 80 times and 81 to 99 times, the first variation pattern table B1 is selected. The decision is made.
Therefore, when the result mode in the number of executions of the special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern I is selected is a deviating result mode and the first variation pattern is a normal variation, the first variation time increases the number of executions. Every step becomes longer step by step. On the other hand, if the result mode in each execution count of the special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern II is selected is a result mode and the first variation pattern is a normal variation, the number of executions increases in the first variation time. Every time it gets shorter.

In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. 39, when the result mode of the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the symbol 259, when the table switching pattern I is selected, the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is increased. When it is 1 to 19 times, the first half variation pattern table B1 is selected and determined. When the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 20 times and 21 to 39 times, the first half variation pattern table B2 is selected and determined. When the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game is 40 times and 41 to 59 times, the first half fluctuation pattern table B3 is selected and determined. When the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game is 60 times and 61 to 79 times, When the first half variation pattern table B4 is selected and determined, and the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is 80 times and 81 to 99 times, the first half variation pattern table B5 is selected. It has come to be decided.
Therefore, the result mode in each execution count of the special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern I is selected is the outlier result mode, and the first variation time when the first variation pattern is normal variation is the execution time As the number of times increases, it becomes shorter step by step. On the other hand, the result mode in each execution count of the special figure variation display game for which the table switching pattern II is selected is an outlier result mode, and the first half variation time when the first variation pattern is normal variation is the execution time Each time the number increases, it becomes longer stepwise.
As a result, each time the special figure fluctuation display game is executed, depending on whether the first half fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game becomes longer or shorter stepwise, the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game most recently derived Will be able to suggest.

<Modification 4>
Hereinafter, Modification 4 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
Note that the gaming machine of the modification 4 has substantially the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment, and mainly different parts will be described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 4, it is selected whether or not to set the special stop symbol display time (stop time 3) based on the symbol of the special result mode in the special symbol variation display game derived most recently. It has become.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 46 (1), for example, when the special result mode in the special figure variation display game derived most recently is a normal jackpot, and the symbol for deriving the normal jackpot is the symbol “131”. The special stop symbol display time is set to the 40th and 60th times of execution of the special figure variation display game in the short-time gaming state.
More specifically, the values “40” and “60” are set as the specific values in step g908 of the special figure changing process (see FIG. 20).

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 46 (2), for example, when the special result mode in the special figure variation display game derived most recently is the probability variation big hit, and the symbol for deriving the probability variation big hit is the symbol “241”, The special stop symbol display time is set to the 20th and 80th executions of the special figure variation display game in the short-time gaming state.
More specifically, the values “20” and “80” are set to the specific values in step g908 of the special figure changing process (see FIG. 20).
That is, the special derivation display time setting means (game control device 30) derives the derivation display time when the stop result mode does not become the special result mode for the specific variable display game determined based on the special result mode that occurred most recently. As a result, a special derivation display time that is longer than the normal derivation display time is set.
Thereby, the setting pattern of special derivation display time can be complicated.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the appearance rate of the special derivation display time in the variable display game from being equalized, so that the player can get a high expectation of the game result without causing the player to get bored. Will be able to run.
In addition, the special figure derived in the most recent time can be obtained by changing the selection pattern of the special stop symbol display time depending on whether the special result mode in the special figure fluctuation display game derived in the most recent case is a normal big hit or the probable big hit. It is possible to suggest a result mode of the variable display game.

<Modification 5>
Hereinafter, Modification 5 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
Note that the gaming machine of the modified example 5 has substantially the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment, and mainly different parts will be described.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 5, as shown in FIG. 47, only the variation pattern determining random number 1 determination table (the latter variation pattern table A or the latter variation pattern table B) for determining the latter variation pattern is changed. It is like that.
As shown in FIG. 47, for example, when the latter half variation pattern table B is selected and determined as the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table, the reach is more likely when the latter variation pattern table B is selected and determined. The probability that (N reach, SP1 reach, or SP2 reach) will occur is set high.

[Variation pattern setting process]
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 5, as shown in FIG. 48, the presence or absence of the selection table change flag is not determined in steps g601i and g601j. As a result, only the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table is switched.
In other words, the second half fluctuation table acquisition means (game control device 30) acquires the second half fluctuation table acquired in the immediately preceding fluctuation display game as the second half fluctuation table of the fluctuation display game other than the specific fluctuation display game. As the latter half variation table of the variation display game, a latter half variation table different from the latter half variation table obtained in the variation display game executed immediately before can be obtained.

As a result, the special derived display time setting means has a special derived display time longer than the normal derived display time as the derived display time when the stop result mode does not become the special result mode for a specific variable display game determined in advance. The derived display time can be set, and the variation table obtaining means obtains the latter half variation table obtained in the variation display game executed immediately before as the latter half variation table of the variation display game other than the specific variation display game, As the second half fluctuation table of a specific fluctuation display game, it is possible to obtain a second half fluctuation table different from the latter half fluctuation table obtained in the last executed fluctuation display game. In the game, it is different from the second half fluctuation table of the fluctuation display game executed immediately before. It is possible to switch to the second half of the variation table that.
Therefore, in the specific variable display game for which the special derived display time is set, the second half variation table of the variable display game is switched, and the derived display time of the specific variable display game is made longer than the normal derived display time. Since it is possible to have a sense of expectation that there has been some change in the game state, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result. Moreover, since only the latter half variation table is switched among the variation tables, the variation table can be switched without being influenced by the effect by the first half variation table.

<Modification 6>
Hereinafter, Modification 6 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
Note that the gaming machine of the modified example 6 has substantially the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment, and different parts will be mainly described.

  In the gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 6, when the gaming state is the third specific gaming state and when the gaming state is the high probability state, the player can infer that the gaming state is the high probability state. Information is presented, and specifically, the processing shown in FIGS. 49 and 50 is performed.

[Special stop monitoring process]
As shown in FIG. 49, in the special stop monitoring process, after performing the process of decrementing the value of the special stop monitoring counter by 1 (step g914b), it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the third specific gaming state. (Step g914f) is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not the current gaming state is the third specific gaming state (step g914f), if the current gaming state is the third specific gaming state (step g914f; Yes), the gaming state notification process (Step g914g) is performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 50, first, it is determined whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g914g1). In the determination of whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g914g1), if the value of the special stop monitoring counter is not a specific value (step g914g1; No), the current gaming state is high. It is determined whether or not the state is a probability state (step g914g2). In the determination of whether or not the state is the high probability state (step g914g2), in the case of the high probability state (step g914g2; Yes), the number of times of execution of the current special figure variation display game in the latest short-time gaming state is “1”. A determination is made as to whether the number falls within the range of “100” (step g914g3). Then, in the determination of whether or not the number of executions of the special figure variation display game corresponds to a prime number among the numbers “1” to “100” (step g914g3), the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is “1”. When it corresponds to a prime number among the numbers of “100” (step g914g3; Yes), a process (step g914g4) for setting the variation pattern table B as the variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table is performed, and a gaming state notification process And the process proceeds to step g914c of the special stop monitoring process.
That is, the specific game state generating means (game control device 30) has a probability change notification specific game state for notifying the probability that the probability is high after the special game state ends, and a probability after the special game state ends. One of the probability non-notification specific gaming state that does not notify whether the probability is high for a predetermined period of time is generated, and the variation table acquisition means (game control device 30) is in the probability non-notification specific gaming state, and When the normal derivation display time is set by the derivation display time setting means, a predetermined fluctuation table is acquired from the plurality of fluctuation tables stored in the fluctuation table storage means.
As a result, when the probability non-notification specific gaming state is set and the normal derivation display time is set by the derivation display time setting means, the change table acquisition means stores a plurality of change tables stored in the change table storage means. Since the predetermined variation table can be acquired, the variation table can be switched to the predetermined variation table in the variation display game in which the probability non-notification specific gaming state is set and the normal derivation display time is set. Become.
Therefore, by switching the variation display game variation table in the probability non-notification specific gaming state, it may cause a change in the presentation of the variation display game, suggesting that the current probability state may be high probability. Therefore, it is possible to execute an effect that gives a high expectation to the game result.

Further, the fluctuation table acquisition means is a normal fluctuation as a fluctuation table of a fluctuation display game in which the probability non-notification specific gaming state has a high probability and the normal derivation display time is set by the derivation display time setting means. The special variation table is acquired at a higher rate than the table.
Thus, when the probability non-notification specific gaming state is high and the probability is high, and the normal derivation display time is set by the derivation display time setting means, the fluctuation table acquisition means makes it more special than the normal fluctuation table. Since the fluctuation table can be acquired at a high rate, it can be suggested that the specific gaming state has a high probability based on the occurrence frequency of effects.

The variation table acquisition means is a special variation as a variation table of a variation display game in which the probability non-notification specific gaming state, the probability is a normal probability, and the normal derivation display time is set by the derivation display time setting means. The normal fluctuation table is acquired at a higher rate than the table.
Thereby, when the probability non-notification specific gaming state, the probability is a normal probability, and the normal derivation display time is set by the derivation display time setting means, the fluctuation table acquisition means is more normal than the special fluctuation table. Since the fluctuation table can be acquired at a high rate, it can be suggested that the specific gaming state has a high probability based on the occurrence frequency of the effects.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g914g1), when the value of the special stop monitoring counter is a specific value (step g914g1; Yes), the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern A process of setting the variation pattern table B as the determination table (step g914g4) is performed, the gaming state notification process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step g914c of the special stop monitoring process.

  In the determination of whether or not the state is a high probability state (step g914g2), the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is “1” when the state is not the high probability state (step g914g2; No) and in the short-time gaming state that occurred most recently. When the number of executions of the special figure variation display game does not correspond to the prime number among the numbers “1” to “100” in the determination of whether the number corresponds to the prime number among the numbers “˜100” (step g914g3) (step g914g3) g914g3; No) ends the gaming state notification process, and proceeds to step g914c of the special stop monitoring process.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 6, as shown in FIGS. 51 (1) and (2), the variation time (20000 ms) when the variation pattern type in the variation pattern table B is “out” is variable. A time longer than the fluctuation time (8000 ms) when the type of the fluctuation pattern in the pattern table A is “out” is set.
Therefore, when the gaming state is the third specific gaming state and the gaming state is a high probability state, the number of executions of the special figure variable display game corresponds to a prime number among the numbers “1” to “100”. The player can infer that the game is in a high-probability state by increasing the frequency of occurrence of the special-figure display game with a longer variation time than usual each time.

<Modification 7>
Hereinafter, Modification 7 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
Note that the gaming machine of the modified example 7 has substantially the same configuration as that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment, and different parts will be mainly described.

  The gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 7 includes two types of general-purpose variation pattern determination tables for setting a variation pattern of a general-purpose variation display game, and when the gaming state becomes the third specific gaming state, Processing for switching the variation pattern determination table is performed.

FIG. 52 (1) shows the probability (5/251) that the normal variation display game will be a hit result in the normal operation state and the probability (250/251) that the universal variation display game will be the hit result in the short-time operation state. It is a table | surface which shows.
FIG. 52 (2) shows an open time (normal power open time) (300 ms) and the number of open times (general power open frequency) (one time) when the normally variable winning device 7 is opened in the normal operation state (non-short-time state). ), And the opening time (normal power opening time) (1800 ms) and the number of times of opening (number of times of normal power opening) (3 times) when the normally variable winning device 7 is opened in the short-time operation state.
FIG. 52 (3) is a table showing the universal variation pattern determination table A. When the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table A is acquired, the fluctuation time of the normal figure fluctuation pattern set in the normal operation state (non-short-time state) is 10000 ms, and the fluctuation time of the normal figure fluctuation pattern set in the short-time operation state is 1000 ms.
FIG. 52 (4) is a table showing the universal variation pattern determination table B. The usual figure variation pattern determination table B is a table acquired when the gaming state becomes the third specific gaming state, and the variation time of the usual figure variation pattern set by the table is set in the normal operation state. The time is shorter than the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern and longer than the fluctuation time of the normal fluctuation pattern set in the short-time operation state (for example, 2000 ms).

[Normal game processing]
Next, the details of the usual game process in the above-described timer interrupt process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 53, in the usual game process, first, a gate switch monitoring process (step h1) is performed, and a general power prize switch monitoring process (step h2) is performed.

Next, it is determined whether or not the game process timer has expired (step h3). If it is determined whether or not the game process timer has expired (step h3), if the game process timer has expired (step h3; Yes), a process of obtaining a game process number (step h4) is performed.
On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step g4), if the game process timer has not expired (step g3; No), the game process timer is updated (the count value of the timer is changed). 1 decrement), the process proceeds to step h12, a normal figure fluctuation control process (step g12) for performing fluctuation control of the normal figure display 5 is performed, and the normal figure game process is terminated.

  Further, in the process of acquiring the game process number (step h4), when the acquired number is “0”, the normal figure normal process (step g5) is performed, the table data saving process (step h11), and the normal figure fluctuation control. A process (step h12) is performed and the usual game process is complete | finished. Note that details of the normal processing (step h5) will be described later.

  In the process of acquiring the game process number (step h4), if the acquired number is “1”, the process of changing the normal map (step h6) for setting the stop display time of the normal map variable display game is performed. Then, a table data saving process (step h11) is performed. Then, the usual figure fluctuation control process (step h12) is performed, and the usual figure game process is ended.

  Further, in the process of acquiring the game process number (step h4), when the acquired number is “2”, a normal map display process (step h7) for setting the opening time of the normal variable winning device 7 is performed, A table data saving process (step h11) is performed. Then, the usual figure fluctuation control process (step h12) is performed, and the usual figure game process is ended.

  In the process of acquiring the game process number (step h4), when the acquired number is “3”, the normal variation winning device 7 is controlled to open, and whether or not there is a remaining ball in the normal variation winning device 7. The processing for setting the information for monitoring is performed during the usual time (step h8), and the table data saving processing (step h11) is performed. Then, the usual figure fluctuation control process (step h12) is performed, and the usual figure game process is ended.

  Further, in the process of acquiring the game process number (step h4), if the acquired number is “4”, the baseball remaining ball process (step h9) for setting the information for ending the hit of the normal map display game ) To perform table data saving processing (step h11). Then, the usual figure fluctuation control process (step h12) is performed, and the usual figure game process is ended.

  Further, in the process of acquiring the game process number (step h4), if the acquired number is “5”, an end process per step (step h10) for setting information for shifting to the normal process is performed. Then, a table data saving process (step h11) is performed. Then, the usual figure fluctuation control process (step h12) is performed, and the usual figure game process is ended.

[Usually normal processing]
Next, the details of the usual figure routine process in the above-mentioned usual figure game process will be described. As shown in FIG. 54, in the usual figure normal processing, first, it is determined whether or not the number of usual figure holds is 0 (step h501).

In the determination of whether or not the number of reserved maps is 0 (step g501), when the number of reserved maps is 0 (step g501; Yes), the routine processing is terminated.
On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the number of pending maps is 0 (step g501), if the number of pending maps is not 0 (step g501; No), a process of setting out information on the flag per map (step h502) To do.

Next, a process for obtaining a random number value per step (step h503) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the random number per step matches the value per step (step h504).
In this determination of whether or not the random number per map matches the value per map (step h504), if the random number per map matches the value per map (step h504; Yes), the per-map flag is set. A process for setting the usual hit information (step h505) is performed, and the process proceeds to step h506.
On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the random number per map matches the value per map (step h504), if the random number per map does not match the value per map (step h504; No), the process proceeds to step h506. To do.

  Next, a process for clearing the random number saving area per common map (step h506) is performed, and a process for subtracting 1 from the general map hold number (step h507) is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the third specific gaming state (step h508). In the determination of whether or not this gaming state is the third specific gaming state (step h508), if the gaming state is the third specific gaming state (step h508; Yes), whether or not the end lottery is won Determination (step h509) is performed.

In the determination of whether or not the end lottery is won (step h509), when the end lottery is won (step h509; Yes), a process for determining the base map change time based on the base map change pattern determination table A (Step h510) is performed.
Further, in the determination of whether or not the gaming state is the third specific gaming state (step h508), when the gaming state is not the third specific gaming state (step h508; No), the normal variation pattern determination table A is used. Then, a process for determining the normal time (step h510) is performed.
On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the end lottery is won (step h509), if the end lottery is not won (step h509; No), the base map change time is determined based on the base map change pattern determination table B. The process (step h511) to perform is performed.
That is, the usual figure fluctuation table acquisition means (game control device 30) uses the usual figure fluctuation display game that has been executed immediately before as the usual figure fluctuation table of the usual figure fluctuation display game that is started after the end of the special gaming state. A normal fluctuation table different from the fluctuation table is acquired.
Thus, the usual figure fluctuation table of the usual figure fluctuation display game executed immediately before the end of the special game state is different from the usual figure fluctuation table of the usual figure fluctuation display game executed immediately before the special game state by the ordinary figure fluctuation table acquisition means. It is possible to acquire a common map fluctuation table.
Therefore, in a general fluctuation display game that starts after the end of the special game state, it is possible to intensively win a game ball to the normal fluctuation winning device while the normal fluctuation table is switched. You will be able to have a high sense of anticipation.

Further, the normal map change table storage means includes a first normal map change table and a second normal map change table in which a change pattern of the normal map change display game having a shorter change time than the first normal figure change table can be set. The general-purpose fluctuation table acquisition means includes a general-purpose figure display table for a general-purpose variable display game that is started after the special game state ends when the stop-result aspect of the variable-display game becomes a predetermined special result aspect. As the fluctuation table, if the second ordinary figure fluctuation table is acquired and the special result mode is not obtained, the first ordinary figure fluctuation table is used as the usual figure fluctuation table of the usual figure fluctuation display game started after the end of the special game state. Will be acquired.
Thereby, when the stop result mode of the variable display game becomes a special result mode determined in advance by the general map change table acquisition means, the normal map change table of the normal map change display game started after the end of the special game state As a result, if the second normal figure fluctuation table is acquired and the special result mode is not obtained, the first normal figure fluctuation table is obtained as the normal figure fluctuation table of the normal figure fluctuation display game started after the end of the special game state. be able to.
Therefore, in the normal variation display game started after the end of the special game state, the frequency of the ordinary variation prize-winning device being opened is increased, and the number of executions of the variation display game per unit time can be increased. become.

Next, a process for setting the normal figure change time in the game process timer (step h512) is performed, a process for setting the normal figure change start setting table (step h513) is performed, and the normal figure normal process is terminated.
In other words, the normal time change time setting means (game control device 30) sets the execution time of the normal time change display game based on the one normal time change table acquired by the normal time change table acquisition means. Become.

  Next, FIG. 55 and FIG. 56 are used for timing charts of the general fluctuation display game when the game state is the third specific gaming state and the normal fluctuation pattern determination table is set in the normal fluctuation pattern determination table B. I will explain.

FIG. 55 shows an example of the big-hit or small-hit symbol in the case of shifting to the third specific gaming state after the big-hit or small-hit has ended.
Specifically, for example, when winning a small hit of the symbol 331, the normal variation pattern determination table is set in the normal variation pattern determination table B, and the special variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times as a chance zone. To do.
If the symbol 331 is won, the specified number of times of the special figure change display game is until the next big win is won, but the normal figure changes also depending on the winning of the end lottery (step h509; Yes). End the display game.

When the symbol 331 is won, the base pattern change pattern determination table B is set so that the change time in the base figure change display game is reduced from 10000 ms in the normal operation state to 2000 ms in the third specific game state. Is done.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 56, the number of times of execution of the usual figure variation display game in the third specific gaming state is increased compared to the number of times of execution in the normal operation state, and the occurrence frequency per common figure increases accordingly. . As a result, the number of times the normal variation winning device 7 is released increases, so that it becomes easy for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7, and the second special figure variation display game can be easily executed.

<Modification 8>
Hereinafter, Modification 8 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
Note that the gaming machine of the modified example 8 has substantially the same configuration as the gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment, and different parts will be mainly described.

  The gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 8 includes two types of the regular pattern variation pattern determination tables for setting the variation pattern of the general variation display game, as in the modified example 7, and the gaming state becomes the third specific gaming state. In this case, a process for switching the normal pattern variation pattern determination table is performed.

FIG. 57 (1) is a table showing the big hit probability (1/400) and the small hit probability (1/20) in the first special figure variation display game.
FIG. 57 (2) is a table showing the big hit probability (1/20) and the small hit probability (1/400) in the second special figure variation display game.
FIG. 57 (3) is a table showing the probability per universal figure, and the probability per universal figure is different from the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the modified example 7, regardless of whether or not the probability state is a high probability state. It is always set to 250/251.
FIG. 57 (4) is a table showing general diagram information, and the normal power release time and the number of general power releases are different from the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the modified example 7, regardless of whether or not it is in the short-time operation state. The opening time of the public power is always set to 300 ms, and the number of open times of the public power is set to one time.
FIG. 57 (5) is a table showing the normal fluctuation pattern selection table A. The normal fluctuation pattern selection table A has a plurality of fluctuation patterns (A001, A002...) Having different normal fluctuation times. Yes.
FIG. 57 (6) is a table showing the general-purpose fluctuation pattern selection table B. The general-purpose fluctuation pattern selection table B is similar to the general-purpose fluctuation pattern selection table A and has a plurality of fluctuation patterns having different normal time fluctuation times. (B001, B002...). In addition, each variation pattern in the normal pattern variation pattern selection table B is set to be shorter than the normal diagram variation time of each variation pattern in the general diagram variation pattern selection table A.

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 8, the game state changes to the third specific game state, and the normal pattern change display game in the case where the normal figure change pattern determination table is set in the normal change pattern determination table B is shown. The timing chart will be described with reference to FIGS.

For example, when winning the small hit of the symbol 331, the normal variation pattern determination table B is set, and one variation pattern is determined from the normal variation pattern determination table B (for example, variation pattern B001).
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 58, the number of times of execution of the normal variation display game in the third specific gaming state is increased compared to the number of times of execution in the normal operation state. In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the modified example 8, since the probability per base map is always set to a high probability of 250/251, when the base map fluctuation display game is executed, the probability of the base map is almost 100%. Winning per figure, the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is released is increased as compared with the case of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the modified example 7. Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is possible to easily execute the second special figure variation display game.
Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time for displaying the normal map change display time of the normal map display game and to increase the frequency of occurrence per base map when the player wins the game after the big hit or the small win ends. it can.
As a result, the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is released increases, and the execution opportunity of the second special figure variable display game increases. Even in a gaming machine where it is difficult to win a big hit, this difficulty can be mitigated suitably. .
In addition, the satisfaction and game performance obtained by the player himself / herself winning a big hit and changing the game performance will not be impaired.

  Note that the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine as shown in the above-described embodiment as a gaming machine, for example, other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, sparrow ball gaming machines, etc. It can be applied to all gaming machines that use this game ball.

  In addition, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
