There is. Further, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

By the way, the game area 6 in which the game ball can flow down can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side of the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k that launches the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is called "left-handed". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that launches the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is called "right-handed". In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the flow path through which the game ball can flow down when the game ball is launched by hitting left is called the first flow path R1, and the game ball flows down when the game ball is launched by hitting right. The possible flow path is referred to as a second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also configured by a large number of game nails and the like.

A first starting port 11 and two general winning openings 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim to win a prize in the first starting opening 11 or the general winning opening 10 by firing the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by hitting left. On the other hand, a second starting port 12, a gate 13, a first large winning opening 14, and a second large winning opening 15 are provided on the second flow path R2. Therefore, the player launches the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting right to pass through the gate 13, the second starting port 12, the first winning opening 14, or the second. You can aim to win the big prize opening 15.

In addition, the game ball that did not enter any of the winning openings (1st starting opening 11, 2nd starting opening 12, general winning opening 10, 1st big winning opening 14, and 2nd big winning opening 15) It is guided to the out port 19 and discharged. In addition, the number of prize balls for winning each winning opening can be set as appropriate.

Further, the indicators 8 are arranged on the left side (a portion other than the game area 6) below the game area 6 formed on the front surface of the game board 1. As shown in FIG. 4, on the display devices 8, the special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, the special figure 2 display 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and the normal figure are variably displayed. A normal map display 82 is included. Further, the display devices 8 include the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a, which displays the number of special figure 1 hold (U1: the number of hold of the variable display of the special figure 1 by the special figure 1 display 81a), which will be described later. Also included is a special figure 2 hold indicator 83b for displaying the number of special figure 2 hold (U2: the number of holds for variable display of the special figure 2 by the special figure 2 display 81b), which will be described later.

The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed with the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11. Further, the variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed when the game ball is won in the second starting port 12. In the following description, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are collectively referred to as a special figure, and the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as a special figure lottery. Further, the special figure 1 display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively referred to as a special figure display 81. Further, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b are collectively referred to as a special figure hold indicator 83.

The variable display of the special figure informs the result of the special figure lottery. In the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is displayed in a variable manner and then stopped. The special figure to be stopped and displayed (stop special figure, special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one special figure selected from a plurality of types of special figures by a special figure lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special figure (special figure of a specific stop mode, that is, a big hit symbol), the big winning opening (1st big winning opening 14 and 2nd big winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed.

The special figure display 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure according to the result of the special figure lottery according to the lighting mode thereof. For example, when the result of the special figure lottery is a big hit (one of a plurality of types of big hits described later), the special figure display 81 is set to "□□ ■■ □□ ■■" (□: lit, ■ : Turns off) and displays the jackpot symbol consisting of the lighting of the LEDs located at the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th positions from the left. In addition, if the result of the special figure lottery is a loss, a loss pattern consisting of lighting only the LED on the far right is displayed, such as the special figure display 81 "■■■■■■■ □". do. The lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all the LEDs may be turned off as a lost pattern.

Further, in the variable display of the special map, the variable display of the special map is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time before the special map is stopped and displayed. The mode of variable display of the special figure is, for example, a mode in which each LED is turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The mode of the variable display of the special figure is not particularly limited, and if each LED is not stopped display (lighting display in a specific mode), all the LEDs may be appropriately set such as blinking all at once.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when a game ball is won (winning) in the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, various random numbers (numerical information and determination information) for performing a special drawing lottery and the like are performed. One example) may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the special figure holding storage unit 105, which will be described later, as special figure holding. In the following, various random numbers obtained by winning (winning) a game ball to the first starting port 11 are referred to as "special figure 1 related random numbers", and winning a game ball to the second starting port 12. Various random numbers acquired by (entry ball) are called "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a in the special figure hold storage unit 105 as the special figure 1 hold. On the other hand, the random numbers related to the special figure 2 are stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b in the special figure hold storage unit 105 as the special figure 2 hold. The number of special figure 1 holdes that can be stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a (the number of special figure 1 hold) and the number of special figure 2 hold that can be stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b (the number of special figure 2 hold). Can set an upper limit (for example, 4). In the following, the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are collectively referred to as "special figure hold", and the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number are collectively referred to as "special figure hold number". Further, the special figure 1 related random numbers and the special figure 2 related random numbers are collectively referred to as “special figure related random numbers”.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, if the variable display of the special figure is not performed immediately after the game ball wins the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special figure is being executed. If there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, the variable display of the special figure (or the right of the special figure lottery) for the prize can be reserved. The special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit 105 is digested when the special figure hold based on the special figure hold becomes possible for variable display. That is, the digestion of the special figure hold means that the special figure-related random numbers and the like corresponding to the special figure hold are determined, and the variable display of the special figure for showing the determination result is executed.

Then, the number of special figure hold is displayed on the special figure hold indicator 83. Each of the special figure 1 hold display 83a and the special figure 2 hold display 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of special figure hold by turning on the LEDs for the number of special figure hold. It is possible.

In addition, the variable display of the regular map informs the result of the regular map lottery. In the variable display of the normal map, the normal map is displayed in a variable manner and then stopped. The stopped-displayed normal map (stop-displayed, variable-displayed normal map is derived and displayed) is one normal map selected from a plurality of types of normal maps by the regular map lottery. When the stop-displayed normal figure is a predetermined specific normal figure (a normal figure in a predetermined stop mode, that is, a winning symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second starting port 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed. ..

The normal map display 82 is composed of, for example, two LEDs, and displays a normal map according to the result of the normal map lottery depending on the lighting mode thereof. When the result of the normal drawing lottery is a hit, the normal figure display 82 displays a winning symbol composed of lighting of both LEDs such as "□□" (□: on, ■: off). If the result of the regular drawing lottery is a loss, a loss pattern consisting of lighting of only the right LED is displayed, such as "■ □".

3. 3. Main games by the gaming machine Next, the main games played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 15.

3-1. Games related to Fuzu First, we will explain the games related to Fuzu. When the launched game ball passes through the gate 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 draws a lottery. When the normal map lottery is performed, the normal map display 82 performs variable display of the normal map (stop display after performing variable display). Here, there are a hit symbol and a lost symbol in the normal map that is stopped and displayed. In addition, the lost symbol of the normal figure is also referred to as "missing normal figure" in order to distinguish it from the lost symbol of the special figure described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the lost normal map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. Further, in the following, the fact that the game ball passes through the gate 13 when the variable display of the normal map or the auxiliary game is not performed is referred to as "the establishment of the normal map variation start condition".

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a random number related to the normal map when the normal map variation start condition is satisfied in performing such a series of games (normal map lottery, variable display of the normal map, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 8A, the random numbers related to normal symbols to be acquired include ordinary symbol random numbers. Ordinary symbol random numbers are random numbers (judgment information) for performing collision detection. A range is appropriately provided for each random number.

3-1-1. Collision detection The collision detection is a judgment for determining whether or not a hit (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 9A. The hit determination table can be associated with the gaming state described later. That is, the gaming state includes a non-time-saving state and a time-saving state, and as the hit determination table, a hit determination table (non-time-saving hit determination table) used in the non-time-saving state and a hit determination table (time-saving) used in the time-saving state. It is possible to distinguish between the hit detection table) and. In each hit determination table, the determination value of the normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol random number value) is distributed to the hit and the loss which are the results of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired ordinary symbol random numbers with the hit determination table, and determines whether the hit or miss is a hit. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the normal map fluctuation pattern determination for variable display of the normal map is performed. If the result of the hit determination is a hit, the hit symbol is basically stopped and displayed in the variable display of the normal figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is a loss, the lost normal map is basically stopped and displayed in the variable display of the normal map. In addition, the winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. The normal map fluctuation pattern determination is a judgment for determining the normal map fluctuation pattern by using one or a plurality of normal map fluctuation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9B. The normal map fluctuation pattern is identification information related to predetermined items related to the variable display of the normal map such as the normal map fluctuation time.

The normal map fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the normal map fluctuation pattern judgment table, the normal map fluctuation pattern judgment table (non-time saving normal map fluctuation pattern judgment table) used in the non-time saving state and the normal map fluctuation pattern judgment table used in the non-time saving state (non-time saving normal map fluctuation pattern judgment table). It is possible to distinguish from the time-saving normal map fluctuation pattern judgment table).

In each normal map fluctuation pattern determination table, one normal map fluctuation pattern, which is the result of the normal map fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each normal map to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the fluctuation time of the normal map different between the non-time saving state and the time saving state. For example, in the non-time saving state, for the variable display of the normal map when the lost normal map (lost normal map) is stopped and displayed, the normal map fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds, and the winning symbol is determined. The variable display of the normal map when the display is stopped is determined to be a normal map fluctuation pattern in which the normal map fluctuation time is, for example, 30 seconds. In addition, in the time saving state, the variable display of the normal map when the lost normal map is stopped and displayed is determined to be the normal map fluctuation pattern in which the normal map fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the winning symbol is stopped and displayed. The variable display of the figure is determined to be a normal map fluctuation pattern in which the normal map fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The variable display of the normal map variation time associated with the normal map fluctuation pattern determined by this determination is performed by the normal map display 82. In addition, these fluctuation times of the normal map can be changed as appropriate. By performing the hit determination and the normal map fluctuation pattern determination in this way, the normal map display 82 performs variable display of the normal map.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game Auxiliary game is a variable display of a normal map, and is executed when the winning symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) as a display result (result of the general map lottery).

The auxiliary game includes various elements such as an element constituting the auxiliary game (auxiliary game component), that is, the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened, and the opening time for each opening. Then, each of these elements is associated with the gaming state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the auxiliary game by using one or a plurality of auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9C based on the game state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Each auxiliary game control table stores auxiliary game components. In addition, the number of times of opening and the opening time of each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the opening time of the electric chew 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state and the auxiliary game in the time saving state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened only for the first opening time (a time when it is difficult to make the game ball win the electric chew 12D (for example, 0.08 seconds)). In the following, the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state is also referred to as "short open auxiliary game". Further, in the auxiliary game in the time saving state, the electric chew 12D is used only for the second opening time (time in which it is easy to make the game ball win the electric chew 12D (for example, 3.00 seconds)), which is longer than the first opening time. Open. In the following, the auxiliary game in the short time state is also referred to as a "long open auxiliary game".

3-2. Games related to special figures Next, games related to special figures will be described. When the launched game ball wins a prize in the first starting port 11, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special drawing 1 lottery. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs a variable display of the special figure 1 (a stop display after performing a variable display) to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, the special figure 1 that is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the result of the special figure 1 lottery has a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is finished.

Similarly, when the launched game ball wins a prize in the second starting port 12, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 draws a special figure 2 lottery. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs a variable display of the special figure 2 (a stop display after performing a variable display) to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, the special figure 2 that is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the result of the special figure 2 lottery includes a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the prize is completed.

In the following, the winning of the game ball in the first starting opening 11 is referred to as "establishment of the first starting condition", and the winning of the game ball in the second starting opening 12 is "establishment of the second starting condition". That is. Further, "establishment of the first starting condition" and "establishment of the second starting condition" are collectively referred to as "establishment of the starting condition". In addition, the lost symbol of the special symbol is also referred to as a "missing special symbol" in order to distinguish it from the above-mentioned lost symbol of the normal diagram.

In performing such a series of games (special figure lottery, variable display of special figures, big hit game, setting of game state), the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special figure-related random number when the start condition is satisfied. Various judgments are made for random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special symbol-related random numbers to be acquired include a special symbol random number (big hit random number), a big hit symbol type random number, a reach random number, and a special symbol variation pattern random number. The special symbol random number is a random number for making a jackpot determination. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for determining the jackpot symbol type. The reach random number is a random number for making a reach determination. The special symbol fluctuation pattern random number is a random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol. A range is appropriately provided for each random number. Random numbers may also be referred to as determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot determination The jackpot determination is a determination for determining whether or not a jackpot is a jackpot (whether or not to execute a jackpot game) using one or a plurality of jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. 10A. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with whether it is a normal probability state or a high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, it is possible to distinguish between the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and the jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table). It is possible.

In each jackpot determination table, the determination value (special symbol random number value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot and the loss which are the results of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random numbers with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the high-probability jackpot determination table has more special symbol random number determination values determined to be jackpots than the normal probability jackpot determination table. In addition, the winning probability of the jackpot can be changed as appropriate.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination In the jackpot symbol type determination, when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, one or more jackpot symbol type determination tables as shown in FIG. 10 (B) are used to determine the jackpot symbol type (big hit symbol type). ) Is a judgment for determining. For each type of jackpot symbol, it is possible to associate the contents of the jackpot, in other words, the components of the jackpot composed of the game benefits given to the player and the like.

The jackpot symbol type determination table should be associated with the type of special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the starting port where the prize was awarded due to the jackpot symbol type determination (which caused the jackpot symbol type determination). Is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when the variable display of the special figure 1 is performed, and the jackpot used when the variable display of the special figure 2 is performed. It is possible to distinguish from the symbol type determination table (second big hit symbol type determination table).

There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, and in each jackpot symbol type judgment table, the judgment value of the jackpot symbol type random number (random number value by jackpot symbol type) is assigned to the jackpot symbol type that is the result of the jackpot symbol type determination. There is. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired jackpot symbol type random numbers with the jackpot symbol type determination table to determine the type of jackpot symbol. Then, in the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type random value is appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. In addition, the distribution rate for each jackpot symbol type can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the types of jackpot symbols can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type by the jackpot symbol type determination for the special figure 1 is set to 50% for the jackpot symbol X and 50% for the jackpot symbol Y, and for the special figure 2. It is possible to set the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type by the jackpot symbol type determination to 100% for the jackpot symbol Z. In this way, the special figure 1 lottery in which the game ball wins in the first start opening 11 and the special figure 2 lottery in which the game ball wins in the second start opening 12 are used to swing the jackpot symbol type. It is possible to make the fractions different.

3-2-3. Reach judgment In the reach judgment, when the result of the jackpot judgment is a loss, whether or not to generate reach by the special figure variation effect described later by using one or a plurality of reach judgment tables as shown in FIG. 10 (C). It is a judgment for determining whether or not.

The reach determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, the reach determination table (non-time reduction reach determination table) used in the non-time reduction state and the reach determination table (time reduction reach determination table) used in the time reduction state are distinguished. It is possible.

In each reach judgment table, the judgment value (reach random number value) of the reach random number is divided into "with reach (generate reach)" and "without reach (do not generate reach)" which are the results of reach judgment. .. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired reach random numbers with the reach determination table, and determines whether or not there is reach (whether or not to generate reach). As shown in FIG. 10C, it is possible to make the number of reach random numbers determined to be "reachable (generate reach)" different between the non-time saving reach determination table and the time saving reach determination table. Is. In the following, "with reach (generate reach)" performed on the premise that the result of the jackpot judgment is "loss" is called "loss with reach", and "without reach (does not generate reach)". ) ”Is sometimes referred to as“ loss without reach ”.

3-2-4. Special figure variation The special figure variation pattern determination is performed by using a variation pattern determination table (special diagram variation pattern determination table) of one or a plurality of special symbols as shown in FIGS. 11 to 12 to change the variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure. It is a judgment for determining (special figure fluctuation pattern), and is performed in both cases where the result of the big hit judgment is a big hit or a loss. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items related to the special figure fluctuation time and the effect flow (effect content) of the special figure variation effect described later. It should be noted that the special figure variation pattern can include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination, in addition to the effect flow (effect content) of the special map variation time and the special map variation effect. As the special figure fluctuation pattern, it is possible to use a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns having different identification information, and the number thereof can be appropriately changed.

The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol that performs the variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of the starting port in which the winning is performed due to the special figure variation pattern determination. That is, as the special figure variation pattern determination table, the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 1 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) that is sometimes used.

Then, each special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table (non-time saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table) used in the non-time saving state and the special drawing 1 used in the non-time saving state. It is possible to distinguish from the variation pattern determination table (special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for time saving). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table is also used in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table (non-time saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table) used in the non-time saving state and in the time saving state. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for time saving).

Further, each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, or a reach determination result. That is, the non-time saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the non-time saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a loss with reach, and a loss without reach, respectively. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the time-saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table also include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a loss with reach, and a loss without reach, respectively.

Further, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the number of special figure pending. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 holding number (U1) is 0 to 2 and the special drawing 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for loss without reach is used, and when the special drawing 1 holding number (U1) is 3 to 4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for loss without reach. Further, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each loss without reach can be associated with the number of special figure pending. For example, it is used when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 0 to 2 and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for loss without reach is used, and when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 3 to 4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for loss without reach.

Then, the special map display 81 performs variable display of the special map variation time according to the special map variation pattern determined by each special map variation pattern determination. Then, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (result of the special map lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not immediately performed, and the jackpot game is subsequently executed. To.

Further, each special figure variation pattern can be associated with an effect flow of a special figure variation effect as shown in the second column from the right in the table of FIGS. 11 to 12.

As shown in the rightmost column of the table of FIGS. 11 to 12, the special figure fluctuation pattern may be named in association with the special figure (big hit judgment result) and the effect content of the special figure fluctuation effect. be. For example, the special figure fluctuation pattern related to the jackpot is called "big hit fluctuation". On the other hand, the special figure fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed in the loss with reach is called "SP loss fluctuation", and the special feature in which L reach, which is a type of reach, is performed in the loss with reach. The figure fluctuation pattern is referred to as "L loss fluctuation", and the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the special figure fluctuation effect ends with N reach, which is a type of reach, is referred to as "N loss fluctuation", and the loss without reach. The special figure fluctuation pattern is called "normal loss fluctuation".

3-2-5. Pre-reading determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using one or a plurality of pre-reading determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure-related random numbers. The look-ahead determination includes, for example, determination of whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot determination, determination of which jackpot symbol type the jackpot symbol type random number is determined in the jackpot symbol type determination, and special features. Figure variation pattern There is a determination as to which special figure variation pattern the random number is determined by the special figure variation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of start opening related to the start winning. That is, as the look-ahead determination table, a look-ahead determination table (first look-ahead determination table) when the first start opening 11 is won, and a look-ahead determination table (second look-ahead determination table) when the second start opening 12 is won. , Can be distinguished.

The look-ahead determination table can also be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the look-ahead determination table, a look-ahead determination table (non-time saving look-ahead determination table) used in the non-time saving state and a look-ahead determination table (time saving look-ahead determination table) used in the time saving state are distinguished. It is possible.

That is, the look-ahead determination table includes a first look-ahead determination table used in the non-time saving state, a first look-ahead determination table used in the time-saving state, and a second look-ahead determination table used in the non-time saving state. It is possible to distinguish between the second look-ahead determination table and the second look-ahead determination table used in the time saving state. It should be noted that what kind of determination is included in the look-ahead determination can be appropriately changed.

3-3. Big hit game Next, the big hit game will be described. The jackpot game consists of multiple round games involving the opening and closing of the jackpot (1st jackpot 14 or 2nd jackpot 15), and from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round game. It includes the opening (also referred to as OP) and the ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the final round game to the end of the jackpot game. Each round game begins with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Further, it is possible not to provide OP or ED. In the following, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as "round". For example, the first round game is called "1 round (1R)", and the 10th round game is called "10 rounds (10R)".

The elements constituting such a big hit game (big hit game component) include the number of round games, the number of times the big winning opening (first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15) is opened in each round game, and the number of opening. Includes the type and opening time of each opening (opening pattern), closing time until the next opening (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game by using one or a plurality of jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. 14 after the stop display of the special figure is displayed. The jackpot game control table stores the jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one type or a plurality of types of jackpot games.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, a round game in which the first big winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a first big winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. Then, in 16R (final round), a round game in which the second big winning opening 15 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second big winning opening 15 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, is played. It will be done. Further, in each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is detected by the large winning opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the large winning openings 14 and 15 has elapsed. End the round game.

In addition, the number of times and time in each element can be changed as appropriate. Further, the jackpot game can be performed using both the first prize opening 14 and the second prize opening 15, or can be performed using only one of them.

Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. Since the specific region 16 takes a closed state in which a prize cannot be won and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k can be said to be an opening / closing mode of the specific region 16. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as “opening / closing mode of the specific region 16”. In this way, the distribution member 16k is controlled in a certain operation mode (the specific area 16 is a constant opening / closing mode), but the distribution member 16k is controlled in a certain operating mode (a constant opening / closing mode of the specific area 16). In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the big hit game, the difficulty (easiness) of allowing the game ball to enter the specific area 16 in the big hit game is set. In the following, the fact that the specific region 16 is in the open state is also referred to as “V open”.

The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second large winning opening is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time controlled by the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in the round game in which the second big winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second big winning opening 15 and the time controlled by the second state of the distribution member 16k and Due to the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to allow the game ball to enter the specific area 16). As described above, in the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member has a first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that facilitates passage of the specific area 16 of the game ball (hereinafter, also referred to as “V passage”) during the jackpot game. The VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distribution member 16k operate and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which the specific area 16 of the game ball cannot or is difficult to pass. It is possible to perform a jackpot game. In this way, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V-long opening pattern is called "V-long jackpot". On the other hand, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V short opening pattern is called "V short jackpot".

3-4. Game state Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a “low probability low base game state”, a “low probability high base game state”, a “high probability low base game state”, a “high probability high base game state”, and a “high probability high base game state”. It is possible to put it in any of the "big hit gaming states". The "low probability low base game state" is "low probability low base state", the "low probability high base game state" is "low probability high base state", and the "high probability low base game state" is "high probability". The "low base state" and the "high probability high base game state" can be abbreviated as "high probability high base state", respectively. As the state constituting the game state, there are a state related to the probability of being determined as "big hit" in the big hit determination and a state related to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time saving state and a time saving state.

The normal probability state is set in the "low probability low base game state" or the "low probability high base game state", and the probability of being determined as a big hit in the big hit determination is a normal probability. The high probability state is set in the "high probability low base game state" or the "high probability high base game state", and the probability of being determined as a big hit in the big hit determination is a high probability higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal probability state. When the power is turned on for the first time in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the normal probability state is set. Then, by winning the jackpot, it becomes possible to switch from the normal probability state to the high probability state. For example, in a big hit game, it is possible to switch to a high probability state by passing the game ball through the specific area 16. It is also possible to switch to a high probability state depending on the type of jackpot symbol. In the high-probability state, it is possible to switch from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state by performing a predetermined number of jackpot determinations without winning the jackpot or by winning the next jackpot.

The non-time saving state is set in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "high probability low base gaming state", or the "big hit gaming state". The time saving state is set in the "low probability high base game state" or the "high probability high base game state", and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than in the non-time saving state. Is. For example, in the time saving state, the opening time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the opening time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-time saving state. Further, in the time-saving state, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed using the special map fluctuation pattern determination table defined so that the special map fluctuation pattern having a short special map fluctuation time is selected more often than in the non-time reduction state. It is also possible to do so (see FIGS. 11-12). As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure hold becomes faster, and an effective prize (a prize that can be memorized as the special figure hold) to the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit with the smooth progress of the game.

Further, in the time-reduced state, it is possible to make it easier for the normal map fluctuation time to be shorter than in the non-time-reduced state. For example, in the time saving state, the normal map fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the normal map fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time saving state is determined. Therefore, in the time-saving state, the number of times the general drawing lottery is executed per unit time is larger.

In addition, the time-saving state can be more easily determined to be a hit in the hit determination than the non-time-saving state. For example, in the time-saving state, it is determined to be a hit with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability of being determined to be a hit in the non-time-saving state (for example, 6600/65536). Therefore, in the time-saving state, the number of times that the hit determination is determined to be a hit per unit time is larger.

As described above, in the time-reduced state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time becomes longer than in the non-time-reduced state, and it becomes easier for the game ball to frequently win a prize in the second starting port 12. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of fired balls, becomes high. Therefore, in a short time state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a big hit without significantly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time saving state is more advantageous to the player than the non-time saving state.

When the power of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on for the first time, the non-time saving state is set. Then, for example, by winning a big hit, the time saving state can be set. The time saving state can be changed from the time saving state to the non-time saving state by performing a predetermined number of big hit determinations without winning the big hit or by winning the next big hit.

In the time-reduced state, the winning is easy to win, the normal figure fluctuation time is likely to be short, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be long, as compared with the non-time-saving state. The game related to the normal figure is set in favor of the player in three points. However, the points set in favor of this player may be some of these.

The gaming state after the power is turned on for the first time in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a "low probability low base gaming state" in which a normal probability state and a non-time saving state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as a "normal gaming state". In the "big hit game state", the hit determination is performed but the big hit determination is not performed. Therefore, a non-time saving state is set with the start of the big hit game. Further, as for the gaming state, it is possible to use all of the above-mentioned gaming states or only a part of them.

4. Main effects by the gaming machine Next, the main effects performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 22.

4-1. Production mode First, the production mode will be described. The staging mode is a division of staging (or a higher-level conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability variation effect mode, a time saving effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as the effect modes.

In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure fluctuation effect is performed in "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state" and "high probability high base game state". It is an effect mode that can be set when there is no special figure variation effect and indicates that the standby state is not performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16A, a customer waiting demo video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demo video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-2), the setting screen G101 for making settings related to the production of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. The settings related to the effect include a volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, a brightness setting of the display unit 50a (“light amount setting”), a frequency setting of the effect to be executed (“effect setting”), and the like.

The normal effect mode can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "low probability low base game state" or the "high probability low base game state", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a non-time saving state. be. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-1), a background image (daytime normal background image G102) showing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a in the first normal effect mode. And, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image (evening normal background image G103) representing an evening mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a, and FIG. 16 (B). As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (nighttime normal background image G104) showing a nighttime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a, and there is one without winning a big hit. It is possible to switch one condition that the special figure variation effect is performed once or a plurality of times. Further, each of the first to third normal effect modes includes a normal pre-stage effect mode before the reach is established and a normal post-stage effect mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the normal first stage effect mode, one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the nighttime normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. A dedicated background image is displayed. In addition, a special effect mode that is set only in the "high probability low base game state" may be provided.

The probability variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is performed in the "high probability high base game state", and is an effect mode indicating that the state is a high probability state and a time saving state. In the probabilistic effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-4), a background image (probability variation background image G105) representing the universe is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the probability change effect mode includes a probability change first stage effect mode before the reach is established and a probability change second stage effect mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the probability change first stage effect mode, the probability change background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the probability change second stage effect mode, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach is displayed.

The time saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is performed in the "low probability high base game state", and is an effect mode indicating that the normal probability state and the time reduction state are present. In the time saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-5), a background image (time saving background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the time saving effect mode includes a time saving first stage effect mode before the reach is established and a time saving second stage effect mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the time-saving first stage effect mode, the time-saving background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the time-saving second-stage effect mode, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach is displayed.

The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the jackpot game is being performed in the "big hit game state", and is an effect mode indicating that the jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-1), the opening image G107 suggesting the start of the jackpot game and the right prompting “right-handed” are displayed on the display unit 50a. A jackpot opening effect in which the shot image G108 is displayed is performed. During the round in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-2), the round image G109 showing the number of rounds and the prize ball number image G110 suggesting the number of paid out prize balls are displayed on the display unit 50a. The round production is performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3), the display unit 50a suggests the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of prize balls paid out. The jackpot ending effect in which the total prize ball number image G112 is displayed is performed.

The type of effect mode can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2. Special figure variation effect Next, the special figure variation effect (also simply referred to as "variation effect") will be described. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a special figure fluctuation pattern and a special figure lottery result (big hit judgment result, big hit symbol type judgment result, reach judgment result, and The special figure fluctuation effect is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result) and the like. In the special figure variation effect, the display unit 50a superimposes the variation display of the effect symbol on the predetermined background image. The staging symbol is composed of, for example, numerical symbols 1 to 9. In the variable display of the staging symbol, the staging symbol fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special symbol, and the staging symbol fluctuates with the end of the variable display of the special symbol. Stops. That is, after the special symbol fluctuation time and the variation display of the staging symbol are performed, the variation is stopped and the staging symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, the result of the special figure lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect symbol.

In the special figure variation effect, in addition to the variation display of the effect symbol, various images such as an image display device 50, a speaker 52, a frame lamp 53, a board lamp 54, a movable device 55, 56, 58, a normal button 40, and a special button 41 are used. It is possible to perform other effects using various effect devices. In this case, it is possible to continue performing other effects even after the stop display of the effect symbol is displayed.

4-2-1. Effect symbol display area As shown in FIG. 17A, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 has a left effect on each of the left side, the center, and the right side in which the display unit 50a is divided into three horizontally evenly. It is possible to provide the symbol area 50b1, the middle effect symbol area 50b2, and the right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the special symbol variation effect. Similarly, the middle effect symbol area 50b2 and the right effect symbol area 50b3 are areas for displaying the middle effect symbol EZ2 and the right effect symbol EZ3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, it is possible to provide the small symbol area 50c in one section of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end portion of the display unit 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variablely displayed when the special symbol is variablely displayed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are composed of, for example, numerical symbols 1 to 9.

In FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol area 50b1, the middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are clearly indicated by a two-dot chain line, which is the left effect symbol area 50b1. , The middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are described to represent the range, and are not actually displayed.

4-2-2. Normal variation The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can first perform normal variation in the special figure variation effect. The normal fluctuation functions as an effect suggesting that the variable display of the special figure has started.

When the variable display of the special figure is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. From the state where the left small symbol KZ1, the small and medium-sized symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, the special symbol is not variablely displayed, and the variable display of the special symbol is awaited, FIG. 17 (B). As shown in the above, the variation display of the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. In addition, "↓" in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. When the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "normal loss fluctuation", the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different as shown in FIG. 17 (C-1). After temporarily stopping in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17 (D), the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in the stop mode (so-called random stitches) suggesting a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting a loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes such as "1 ・ 1 ・ 2" and "2 ・ 4 ・ 6" in which the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern with reach such as "N loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 17 (C-2), the left effect symbol EZ1 And the right effect symbol EZ3 temporarily stop in the same stop mode (so-called reach eye), and reach is established. At this time, the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special symbol variation pattern is performed. The stop order and stop mode of the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-3. The N-reach pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N-reach when the reach is established in the normal fluctuation. The N reach is an effect that suggests that the result of the big hit determination may have been a "big hit", and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big hit.

In N reach, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18 (B), the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually changes. It slows down to. Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "N loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 18 (C-1), it is produced in a stop mode (so-called reach loss eye) suggesting reach loss. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting reach loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that suggest reach loss, such as "7,6,7" and "5,3,5", in which the left and right symbols are the same and the inside symbol is different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "N jackpot fluctuation", it stops in a stop mode (so-called doublet) suggesting a jackpot, as shown in FIG. 18 (C-2). indicate. As the stop mode suggesting a big hit, there are a plurality of types of stop modes having the same symbol in the left and right, such as "7, 7, 7" and "2, 2, 2". At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting a big hit. The content of the N reach effect is not limited to the gradual deceleration of the medium effect symbol EZ2, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the result of the big hit determination is "big hit" is higher than that of the N reach, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big hit.

In the SP reach, after the N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 19A, a background image dedicated to the SP reach (background image G113 for SP reach) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the SP is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 indicating that the reach has been started is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19B, an SP reach-only effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP reach-dedicated effect is reached, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "SP jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 19 (C-1), the display unit. At 50a, an effect suggesting a big hit (for example, a display in which the main character is happy to win the battle) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop in a stop mode (so-called doublet) suggesting a big hit. indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting a big hit. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "SP loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 19 (C-2), an effect suggesting a loss (for example, an enemy character is in a battle). (Display that you are happy to win) is performed, and the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode that suggests reach loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting a loss. The contents of the SP reach effect can be changed or added as appropriate.

Here, the possibility that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach are stopped in a manner indicating a jackpot (big hit expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot determination. For example, if the execution probability of N reach is 10% when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" and 100% when the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit", the execution probability of SP reach is set to 100%. If the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing", it is 4%, and if the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit", it is 100%. It can be set high. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing", and the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit". In the case of, the execution probability of SP reach B is set to 2% when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing", and 30% when the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit". For example, it is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach B higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach A. In this way, it is possible to set the jackpot expectation degree by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

4-3. Hold icon display area As shown in FIG. 20A, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 can be provided with a hold icon display area 50d composed of four display areas.

5. Control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 Next, the game control by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 to 24. The counter, timer, buffer, etc. that appear in the game control by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

[1. Main control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on, the gaming control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads out and executes the main control main processing program shown in FIG. 23 from the gaming ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, the power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on processing, access permission setting to the game RAM 104, setting of the game CPU 102, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

Following the power-on processing, interrupts are disabled (S002), and normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8 (A) and 8 (B) are added and updated by 1. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than "0" or may be changed at random. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated by using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is completed, an interrupt is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is enabled, the main timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, at a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed in a cycle of 4 msec. Then, between the end of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and the start of the next main timer interrupt process (S005), various normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processes (S003) are used. The random number counter value update process is repeatedly executed.

That is, in the process of updating the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8 (A) and 8 (B), the execution period of the main side timer interrupt process (S005) and the other period (main side timer interrupt process (main side timer interrupt process). After the end of S005), it is performed both in the period until the next main side timer interrupt process (S005) is started).

Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), then a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106). conduct. The sensor detection process, normal operation process and special operation process will be described later.

Following the special operation process (S106), a distribution device control process for controlling the distribution device 16D is performed (S107).

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108) and ends the main side timer interrupt processing (S005). Other processes (S108) include power failure monitoring processing when the power is turned off, updating the timer provided in the gaming RAM 104, and the like. Further, as another process (S108), a payout control process for paying out the prize ball to the player is performed. In the payout control process, a prize ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 according to the winning of the game ball to each winning opening. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out the prize ball based on the prize ball request signal.

Then, the game control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processes of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main process until the interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 (see FIG. 23), and the interrupt pulse is input. And (after about 4 msec), the main side timer interrupt process (S005) is executed again. The game control microcomputer 101 is a command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main side timer interrupt process (S005) in the output process (S101) of the main side timer interrupt process (S005) executed again.

Using the variation pattern table, the variation pattern of Special Figure 1 is determined. The determination of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is also associated with the number of special figure 1 related random numbers stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a (special figure 1 hold number). Then, a special figure 1 fluctuation start command representing the determined special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is generated. The special figure 1 fluctuation start command is associated with the information regarding the special figure 1, the information regarding the result of the jackpot judgment, the information regarding the result of the reach judgment, the information regarding the result of the jackpot type judgment, and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. Information such as special figure fluctuation time is included. Then, the special figure 1 display 81a is made to start the variable display of the special figure 1 based on the special figure fluctuation time associated with the determined special figure 1 fluctuation pattern.

The special figure 1 hold storage unit shift process is a process performed when the special figure 1 determination process and the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process are performed. In the special figure 1 hold storage unit shift process, the special figure 1 related random number stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a is shifted by one to the first area side, and the special figure 1 related random number in the first area is specially characterized. FIG. 1 Clears from the hold storage unit 105a. In this way, the special figure 1 related random numbers are digested in the order in which they are acquired. Then, a special figure 1 hold number command representing the special figure 1 hold number after the processing is generated.

In the present embodiment, when both the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are present, the special figure 2 determination process is prioritized, and the variable display of the special figure 2 and the variable display of the special figure 1 are performed. And are not done in parallel.

[2-3-2. Special symbol change processing]
The special symbol variation process is a process performed during the variable display of the special symbol. In the special symbol variation processing, the special symbol display 81 is made to end the variable display of the special symbol and stop and display the special symbol according to the result of the jackpot determination according to the elapse of the special symbol variation time. If the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol indicating the jackpot is stopped and displayed, and if the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, the lost symbol indicating the loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special map fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the special map is generated.

[2-3-3. Special symbol confirmation process]
The special symbol confirmation process is a process performed when the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol confirmation process, if the special symbol currently stopped and displayed is a jackpot symbol, the game shifts to the jackpot game state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command contains information about the result of the jackpot type determination. Further, when the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the high probability state is terminated, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high-probability end command indicating the transition to the normal probability state is generated. Further, when the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time saving state is terminated, the non-time saving state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating the transition to the non-time saving state is generated. If the currently stopped special figure is a lost symbol and the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are "0", the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is waiting for a customer. Generate a command.

[2-3-4. Jackpot game control process]
The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot game control process, the jackpot game is performed using the jackpot game control table. After the transition to the jackpot game state, each round game is started according to the lapse of the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. In addition, the ending is started according to the end of the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command contains information about the result of the jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game status setting process]
The game state setting process is a process performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the game state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot game state. When limiting the duration of the high-probability state, the duration of the high-probability state (for example, the number of variable displays of the special figure in which the high-probability state can be continued without winning the jackpot) is also set. Then, a high-probability setting command indicating the setting of the high-probability state is generated. When changing from the non-time saving state to the time saving state, the time saving state is set at the end of the jackpot game state. When limiting the duration of the time-saving state, the duration of the time-saving state (for example, the number of variable display of special figures that can continue the time-saving state without winning a big hit) is also set. Then, a time saving setting command indicating the setting of the time saving state is generated.

The commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Controlling the staging by the staging control microcomputer 121 Next, the staging control by the staging control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. The counters, timers, flags, buffers, etc. that appear in the following description of the control of the staging by the staging control microcomputer 121 are provided in the staging RAM 124.

[1. Sub control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, the power-on process according to the power-on process is performed (S4001). In the power-on processing, for example, the effect CPU 122 is set, and SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are set.

Next, the interrupt is disabled (S4002) and the random number seed update process is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for making determinations related to various effects are updated. As an example, the method for updating the random number counter for determining the effect for various effects can be the same as the method for updating the main random number for the normal symbol / special symbol performed by the main control board 100 described above. Instead of adding the random values by 1 at the time of updating, it may be added by 2 or the like. This also applies to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

When the random number seed update process is completed, the command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (executes various effects by the image). Further, the sub control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the voice control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by voice) and lamp control, in addition to various effects performed by the image control board 140. The frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 are made to emit light through the circuit 151 (various light emission effects are executed by light emission), and the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are activated (various movable body effects are performed by the operation). Execute).

The staging control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits interrupts (S4005). After that, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interrupt is enabled, the receive interrupt process (S4010) and the sub-side timer interrupt process (S4011) can be executed.

The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed every time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the effect control microcomputer 121 stores various commands transmitted and received by the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124. This receive interrupt process is executed in preference to the other interrupt process (S4011).

[2. Sub-side timer interrupt processing]
The sub-side timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed every time an interrupt pulse having a predetermined cycle (for example, 1 msec cycle) is input to the sub-control board 120. In the sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, input processing (S4101), light emission data output processing (S4102), movable device control processing (S4103), watchdog timer processing (S4104), and reception command analysis. Processing (S4105), effect timer update process (S4106), voice control process (S4107), and effect data creation process (S4108) are sequentially performed.

In the input process, an operation on an operation unit that can be operated by the player, such as the normal button detection switch 40a and the special button detection switch 41a, is detected. In the light emission data output process, light emission data is used to make the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 emit light at a timing that matches the effect of the image, etc., based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process described later. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, drive data is output in order to perform a movable body effect of operating a movable device such as the movable device 55, 56, 58 at a predetermined timing based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process. do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a movable body effect of operating the movable devices 55, 56, 58 and the like in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In the watchdog timer process, the watchdog timer is reset.

In the receive command analysis process, the command stored in the receive buffer of the effect RAM 124 is analyzed by the receive interrupt process (S4010), and the process according to the command (for example, effect selection, effect mode setting, command set, etc.). I do. In the effect timer update process, the timer for measuring the time related to each effect is updated. In the voice control process, voice data (data for controlling the output of voice from the speaker 52) is created and output to the voice control circuit 161 based on the processing result of the received command analysis process. In the effect data creation process, the effect data is created based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-mentioned basic embodiment is also applied to the first embodiment.

First, a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The special figure 1 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27 is stored in the game ROM 103. The game control microcomputer 101 can determine the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern by using the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27. In the first embodiment, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27 is used, but the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11 can also be used in combination.

The game control microcomputer 101 determines the special figure 1 variation pattern based on the result of the jackpot determination, the result of the reach determination, and the special figure variation pattern random number in the special figure 1 variation pattern determination process in the non-time saving state. As shown in FIG. 27, the game control microcomputer 101 can determine 26 types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns of "THP001" to "THP026" as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern. Which special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined depends on the special figure fluctuation pattern random number.

Specifically, when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit", any one of the 10 types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns of "THP001" to "THP010" is determined. Of the 10 types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, "THP001", "THP003", "THP005", and "THP007" are easier to determine than other special figure 1 fluctuation patterns. In addition, "THP001" is referred to as "final battle A jackpot fluctuation", "THP002" is referred to as "battle A jackpot fluctuation", "THP003" is referred to as "final battle B jackpot fluctuation", and "THP004" is referred to as "battle B". "Big hit fluctuation", "THP005" is called "final battle C jackpot fluctuation", "THP006" is called "battle C jackpot fluctuation", "THP007" is called "final battle D jackpot fluctuation", and "THP008". Is called "Battle D jackpot fluctuation", "THP009" is called "Character A jackpot fluctuation", and "THP010" is called "Character B jackpot fluctuation".

If the result of the jackpot determination is "missing" and the result of the reach determination is "with reach", one of the 14 types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns of "THP011" to "THP024" is determined. To. Of the 14 types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, "THP022" and "THP024" are easier to determine than the other special figure 1 fluctuation patterns. In addition, "THP011" is referred to as "final battle A loss fluctuation", "THP012" is referred to as "battle A loss fluctuation", "THP013" is referred to as "final battle B loss fluctuation", and "THP014" is referred to as "battle B". "Loss fluctuation", "THP015" is called "final battle C loss fluctuation", "THP016" is called "battle C loss fluctuation", "THP017" is called "final battle D loss fluctuation", and "THP018". Is called "Battle D Loss Fluctuation", "THP019" is called "Character A Loss Fluctuation", "THP020" is called "Character B Loss Fluctuation", and "THP021" is called "Challenge Fan A Loss Fluctuation". "THP022" is referred to as "challenge fanning B loss fluctuation", "THP023" is referred to as "development fanning A loss fluctuation", and "THP024" is referred to as "development fanning B loss fluctuation".

If the result of the jackpot determination is "missing" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", one of the two types of special figure 1 fluctuation patterns of "THP025" to "THP026" is determined. To. Which of the two types of special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is determined depends on the number of special figure 1 reservations. When the number of special figure 1 hold is 0 to 2, it is easy to determine "THP025" with a relatively long special figure fluctuation time of 13000 ms, and when the number of special figure 1 hold is 3 to 4, the special figure 1 is reserved. It is easy to determine "THP026" with a fluctuation time of 4000 ms, which is relatively short. In addition, "THP025" is referred to as "normal A loss fluctuation", and "THP026" is referred to as "normal B loss fluctuation".

Next, with reference to FIGS. 28 to 39, a special figure variation effect that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 according to the special figure 1 variation pattern determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described.

I. Selective staging "Selective staging" is a staging that may be performed after "successful staging" is performed in "challenge staging", "first development staging" or "second staging staging", and is the final battle SS. This is an effect in which any one of the image G203, the final battle S image G204, and the battle image G205 is selected. Since the "selection effect" may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "big hit", it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be performed. Further, since the "selection effect" may develop into the "final battle reach" after that, it functions as an effect suggesting that the "final battle reach" may be performed. In addition, since the "selection effect" may develop into a "battle reach" after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the "battle reach" may be performed.

J. Character Reach "Character Reach" is a production that may be performed after the "success production" is not performed in the "challenge production", and is a reach production in which a ally character challenges a mission. "Character reach" is easier to perform when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" than when it is "big hit", so it is a production that suggests that the jackpot game is likely to be performed. Function.

K. Battle reach "Battle reach" is an effect that may be performed after the battle image G205 is selected in the "selection effect", and is a reach effect in which the main character battles with an enemy character. "Battle reach" is easier to perform when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" than when it is "big hit", so it is a production that suggests that the jackpot game is likely to be performed. Function. Also, since the jackpot game is easier to perform when the "Challenge Direction" develops into the "Battle Reach" than when the "Challenge Direction" develops into the "Character Reach", the "Battle Reach" is "Battle Reach". It also functions as a production that suggests that a jackpot game is more likely to be performed than "Character Reach".

J. Final Battle Reach "Final Battle Reach" is a production that may be performed after the final battle SS image G203 or the final battle S image G204 is selected in the "selection production", and the main character and the ally character are the enemy characters. It is a reach production that battles with. The "final battle reach" is easier to perform when the result of the jackpot judgment is "missing" than when it is "big hit", so it is a production that suggests that the jackpot game is likely to be performed. Functions as. Also, the "final battle reach" is easier to play when the jackpot game develops from the "selective staging" to the "final battle reach" than when the "selective staging" evolves into the "battle reach". , It also functions as a production that suggests that a jackpot game is more likely to be performed than "Battle Reach".

<Consideration of the first embodiment>
Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be considered. First, the relationship between the probability that the jackpot game will be performed when the "challenge effect" is executed and the probability that the jackpot game will be performed when the "selection effect" is executed will be considered. When the "challenge effect" is executed, there are times when the "final battle reach" or "battle reach" is performed and when the "character reach" is performed, while the "selection effect" is performed. When executed, the "final battle reach" or "battle reach" is always performed after that (see FIG. 28). In other words, since the "final battle reach" or "battle reach" is more likely to have a jackpot game than the "character reach", the probability that the jackpot game will be played when the "challenge production" is executed, It can be said that the probability that the jackpot game will be performed when the "selection effect" is executed is different. In the first embodiment, the probability that the jackpot game will be performed when the "selection effect" is executed is higher than the probability that the jackpot game will be performed when the "challenge effect" is executed.

Next, when the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, the probability that the appearance operation is performed after the shaking operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k, and when the selection panel image G202 is displayed, the probability is that the appearance operation is performed. The relationship between the probability that the appearance motion will be performed after the swing motion of the on-board movable body 55k and the board lower movable body 56k will be considered. If the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k are shaken while the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, there is a 68% probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the underboard movable body are subsequently shaken. If the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k are shaken while the selection panel image G202 is displayed while the movable body 56k appears, about 58% thereafter. The appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k is performed with the probability of (see FIG. 27). That is, when the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, the probability that the appearance operation is performed after the shaking operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the underboard movable body 56k, and when the selection panel image G202 is displayed, the board It can be said that the probabilities that the appearance motion is performed after the swing motion of the upper movable body 55k and the lower movable body 56k are different from each other. In the first embodiment, when the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, the selection panel image G202 is displayed rather than the probability that the appearance operation is performed after the shaking operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k. At that time, the probability that the appearance operation is performed after the shaking operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k is lower.

Next, when the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, the probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k appear and the "challenge effect" is executed, and the challenge symbol EZ21 are displayed. At this time, the relationship between the probability that the “challenge effect” is executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k will be considered. When the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, after that, the appearance motion of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k is performed with a probability of about 68%, and the "challenge effect" is executed, while the challenge is performed. When the symbol EZ21 is displayed, there is a probability of about 81% that the "challenge effect" is executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k (see FIG. 27). .. That is, when the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, the probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k appear and the "challenge effect" is executed, and the challenge symbol EZ21 are displayed. It can be said that the probabilities that the "challenge effect" is executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k are different from each other. In the first embodiment, when the challenge panel image G200 is displayed, the challenge symbol is more than the probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k appear and the "challenge effect" is executed. When EZ21 is displayed, there is a higher probability that the "challenge effect" will be executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k.

Next, when the selection panel image G202 is displayed, the probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k appear and the "selection effect" is executed, and the selected symbol EZ22 are displayed. At this time, the relationship between the probability that the “selection effect” is executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k will be considered. When the selection panel image G202 is displayed, after that, the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k is performed with a probability of about 58%, and the "selection effect" is executed, while the selection is performed. When the symbol EZ22 is displayed, the "selection effect" is executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k with a probability of about 74% (see FIG. 27). .. That is, when the selection panel image G202 is displayed, the probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k appear and the "selection effect" is executed, and the selected symbol EZ22 are displayed. At this time, it can be said that the probability that the “selection effect” is executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k is different. In the first embodiment, when the selection panel image G202 is displayed, the selection symbol is more than the probability that the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k appear and the "selection effect" is executed. When EZ22 is displayed, there is a higher probability that the "selection effect" will be executed without the appearance operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the under-board movable body 56k.

Next, the relationship between the execution timing of the "successful staging" executed in the "challenge staging" and the options selected in the "selective staging" will be considered. The "successful effect" executed in the "challenge effect" may be executed before the "reach" is established or after the "reach" is established. The "selection effect" is executed when the "success effect" is executed in the "challenge effect", but when the "success effect" is executed in the "challenge effect" before the "reach" is established. , There is a 50% chance that the "Final Battle SS" or "Final Battle S" option will be selected in the "Selection Production", while the "Success Production" will be executed in the "Challenge Production" after the "Reach" is established. In this case, there is a 57% chance that the "final battle SS" or "final battle S" option will be selected (see FIGS. 27 and 35). In other words, when the "success production" is executed in the "challenge production" before the "reach" is established, and when the "success production" is executed in the "challenge production" after the "reach" is established. , It can be said that the probability that the option of "final battle SS" or "final battle S" is selected in "selection effect" is different from each other. In the first embodiment, the "success production" is executed in the "challenge production" after the "reach" is established, rather than when the "success production" is executed in the "challenge production" before the "reach" is established. When this is done, there is a higher probability that the "final battle SS" or "final battle S" option will be selected in the "selection effect".

Next, the relationship between the "successful production" executed in the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect" and the options selected in the "selective effect" will be considered. The "successful effect" executed in the "second development fanning effect" is executed before the "reach" is established, and the "successful effect" executed in the "first development fanning effect" is established "reach". Is executed after. The "selective staging" is executed when the "successful staging" is executed in the "first staging" or "second staging", but the "second staging" before the "reach" is established. When "Successful production" is executed in "Direction", there is a 54% chance that the "Final battle SS" or "Final battle S" option will be selected in "Selection production", while "Reach" will be established. If the "successful staging" is executed in the "first development staging" after that, the option of "final battle SS" or "final battle S" is selected with a probability of about 61% (Fig. 27, See FIG. 35). In other words, when the "success production" is executed in the "second development fanning effect" before the "reach" is established, and in the "first development fanning effect" after the "reach" is established, the "success production" is It can be said that the probability that the option of "final battle SS" or "final battle S" is selected in the "selection effect" is different from that when it is executed. In the first embodiment, in the "first development fanning effect" after the "reach" is established, rather than when the "success production" is executed in the "second development fanning effect" before the "reach" is established. When the "successful effect" is executed, there is a higher probability that the "final battle SS" or "final battle S" option will be selected in the "selection effect".

Next, the relationship between the options selected in the "selection effect" after the "challenge effect" and the options selected in the "selection effect" after the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect". Consider. In the "challenge effect", the development destination panel image G201a is used, in the "first development fanning effect", the selection symbol EZ22 is used, and in the "second development fanning effect", the selection panel image G202 is used. Since the effect to be used is performed, the effect mode is different between the "challenge effect" and the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect". The "selective staging" may be executed after the "challenge staging", the "first development staging" or the "second staging staging", but the "challenge staging" of the staging mode in which the development destination panel image G201a is used. If the "selection effect" is executed after "", there is a 54% chance that the "final battle SS" or "final battle S" option will be selected in the "selection effect", while the selected symbol EZ22 or selection. If the "selection effect" is executed after the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect" of the effect mode in which the panel image G202 is used, there is a 57% chance that the "final battle SS" or The option of "final battle S" is selected (see FIGS. 27 and 35). That is, when the "selection effect" is executed after the "challenge effect" of the effect mode in which the development destination panel image G201a is used, and the "first development fanning effect" of the effect mode in which the selected symbol EZ22 or the selection panel image G202 is used. It can be said that the probability that the option of "final battle SS" or "final battle S" is selected in the "selection effect" is different from that when the "second development fanning effect" is executed. In the first embodiment, the effect mode in which the selected symbol EZ22 or the selected panel image G202 is used is higher than when the "selection effect" is executed after the "challenge effect" in the effect mode in which the development destination panel image G201a is used. When the "selection effect" is executed after the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect", the "final battle SS" or "final battle S" option is selected in the "selection effect". There is a high probability that

Next, consider the relationship between the probability that the "selection effect" will be executed after the "challenge effect" and the probability that the "selection effect" will be executed after the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect". do. In the "challenge effect", the development destination panel image G201a is used, in the "first development fanning effect", the selection symbol EZ22 is used, and in the "second development fanning effect", the selection panel image G202 is used. Since the effect to be used is performed, the effect mode is different between the "challenge effect" and the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect". When the "challenge effect" of the effect mode in which the development destination panel image G201a is used is executed, the "selection effect" is executed with a probability of about 76%, while the selected symbol EZ22 or the selected panel image G202 is executed. When the "first development fanning effect" or the "second development fanning effect" of the effect mode in which is used is executed, the "selection effect" is executed with a probability of about 65% after that (see FIG. 27). ). That is, when the "challenge effect" of the effect mode in which the development destination panel image G201a is used is executed, and the "first development fanning effect" or "second development" of the effect mode in which the selected symbol EZ22 or the selected panel image G202 is used. It can be said that the probability that the "selective effect" is executed after that is different from that when the "fanning effect" is executed. In the first embodiment, the "first development fanning effect" of the effect mode in which the selected symbol EZ22 or the selected panel image G202 is used is higher than when the "challenge effect" of the effect mode in which the development destination panel image G201a is used is executed. Or, when the "second development fanning effect" is executed, the probability that the "selection effect" is executed is higher.

Next, the relationship between the probability that the "challenge effect" is executed after the "first challenge effect" and the probability that the "challenge effect" is executed after the "second challenge effect" will be considered. The "second challenge fanning effect" is executed before the "reach" is established, and the "first challenge fanning effect" is executed after the "reach" is established. The "challenge effect" may be executed after the "first challenge effect" or the "second challenge effect" is executed, but before the "reach" is established, the "second challenge effect" is performed. If it is executed, after that, the "challenge effect" is executed with a probability of about 68%, while if the "first challenge effect" is executed after the "reach" is established, after that. , "Challenge production" is executed with a probability of about 81% (see FIG. 27). In other words, when the "second challenge fanning effect" is executed before the "reach" is established, and when the "first challenge fanning effect" is executed after the "reach" is established, the "challenge effect" is executed. It can be said that the probabilities that are executed are different from each other. In the first embodiment, when the "first challenge fanning effect" is executed after the "reach" is established, rather than when the "second challenge fanning effect" is executed before the "reach" is established. However, there is a high probability that "challenge production" will be executed.
