Also, since an instrumental music can be output in the first period, the first promotion effect can be executed and the first effect sound can be output, a vocal music can be output in the second period, the second promotion effect can be executed, and the second effect sound can be output, the effect of the output music and the effect sound can be enhanced by the combination. Moreover, the output of the instrumental music is performed without being restricted together with the output of the first effect sound, and the output of the vocal music is restricted corresponding to the output of the second effect sound. Thus, in the first period, the effect of the first promotion effect can be enhanced by the output of the instrumental music and the first effect sound. In the second period, since the output of the vocal music is restricted, the second effect sound can surely be heard. Therefore, the interest of the second promotion effect can be prevented from being impaired. Furthermore, since the output of the vocal music is restricted corresponding to the output of the second effect sound, and is performed without being restricted together with the output of the character voice sound, and is restricted corresponding to the output of the specific sound, an effect configuration that emphasizes voices such as the character voice sound and singing can be adopted. On the other hand, regarding the second effect sound and the specific sound, by giving priority over singing, it can be emphasized that the expectation level is high.

[0092] A mode for implementing the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0093] (Configuration of Pachinko Machine 1, etc.) Figure 1 is a front view of Pachinko Machine 1 and shows the layout of main members. The pachinko machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes the game board surface, and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 that supports and fixes the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and game balls as game media are launched from a predetermined ball shooting device and driven into this game area.

[0094] Note that the "variable display" of the special symbol means, for example, variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols (the same applies to other symbols described later). Examples of the variation include updated display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, and enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols. In the variation of the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbol described later, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are scroll-displayed or updated-displayed, or one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode of blinking display of a certain symbol. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display, etc.) as the display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). Note that the variable display may be expressed as a variable display or a variation.

[0095] The special symbol that is variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as the "first special figure", and the special symbol that is variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as the "second special figure". Also, the special figure game using the first special figure is referred to as the "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as the "second special figure game". Note that there may be one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

[0096] An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), etc., and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

[0097] For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special figure game and the second special figure game, variable display of a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbol, such as decorative symbols (symbols indicating numbers, etc.), is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, scroll display or update display in the vertical direction) in each of the "left", "center", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Note that the special figure game and the variable display of decorative symbols that are executed in synchronization are collectively referred to simply as variable display.

[0098] Also, a display area 5S for displaying the first hold memory number (for example, the number "0", etc.), the second hold memory number (for example, the number "4", etc.), and small symbols corresponding to the decorative symbols is provided at the upper left of the display screen (display area) of the image display device 5, and the small symbols are variably displayed corresponding to the variable display of the decorative symbols.

[0099] Also, regarding the first reserved memory number, the second reserved memory number, the reserved display, the small handle, an error display (not shown) indicating an error state occurring in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a right-hit notification image prompting the player to perform a right-hit operation, a time-saving remaining number display indicating the remaining number of times for time-saving, etc., by being displayed in front of (upper layer) the production image such as a character (object image), it is possible to prevent the production image from overlapping and reducing the visibility of the first reserved memory number, the second reserved memory number, the small handle, and the error display. On the other hand, regarding the decorative symbol, by being displayed behind (lower layer) the production image, it is possible to prevent the decorative symbol from overlapping and reducing the visibility of the production image.

[0100] Also, the above-mentioned small handle is also referred to as the fourth symbol. The fourth symbol is a symbol indicating that the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) is variably displayed, and is variably displayed by a certain operation in a manner that can always be visually recognized in a display device such as the image display device 5. When the fourth symbol is variably displayed, an effect is performed such that the production content including the variable display of the decorative symbol disappears from the screen in an instant, or an effect is performed such that the movable body 32 shields all or part of the screen of the image display device 5. Even if the decorative symbol is difficult to recognize, it is possible to recognize whether it is currently in a variably displayed state. The production control CPU 120 performs variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the first special symbol by operating the image display device 5 based on receiving the first variable display start command. Also, the production control CPU 120 performs variable display of the fourth symbol corresponding to the second special symbol by operating the image display device 5 based on receiving the second variable display start command.

[0101] At the lower part of the screen of the image display device 5, there are provided display areas (special figure hold memory display area 5U, active display area 5F) for displaying a hold display corresponding to a variable display whose execution is pending and an active display corresponding to a variable display in execution. The hold display and the active display are collectively referred to as a variable display corresponding display corresponding to the variable display. In addition, in the present embodiment, a special figure hold memory display area 5U common to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is provided. However, a first special figure hold memory display area in which a first hold display representing a variable display whose execution of the first special symbol is pending is displayed, and a second special figure hold memory display area in which a second hold display representing a variable display whose execution of the second special symbol is pending is displayed, may be provided separately. In addition, in the present embodiment, the special figure hold memory display area 5U is a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the first special symbol when the game state is the normal state, and is a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the second special symbol when the game state is the time reduction state or the probability variation state. Further, the active display area 5F is a display area for displaying an active display corresponding to the first special symbol when the game state is the normal state, and is a display area for displaying an active display corresponding to the second special symbol when the game state is the time reduction state or the probability variation state.

[0102] At a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold display device 25A and a second hold display device 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first hold display device 25A displays the first hold memory number according to the number of lit LEDs. The second hold display device 25B displays the second hold memory number according to the number of lit LEDs.

[0103] Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A is provided, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided on the right side of the winning ball device 6A.

[0104] The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning port that is always kept in a certain open state where a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first starting winning port, a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize balls are paid out, and the first special figure game can be started.

[0105] The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric game device) forms a second starting winning opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric game device having a movable piece that can be opened and closed. When the solenoid 81 is in the off state, the movable piece assumes an upright position, thereby entering a closed state in which game balls do not enter the second starting winning opening (it is also said that the second starting winning opening is in the closed state). On the other hand, when the solenoid 81 is in the on state, the movable piece assumes an inclined position, so that the variable winning ball device 6B enters an open state in which game balls can enter the second starting winning opening (it is also said that the second starting winning opening is in the open state). When a game ball enters the second starting winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the second special figure game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to the above as long as it can change between a closed state and an open state.

[0106] At predetermined positions on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three positions in the lower left of the game area and one position above the variable winning ball device 6B), a general winning opening 10 that is always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member is provided. In this case, when a game ball enters any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, ten) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

[0107] Between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a first special variable winning ball device 7A and a second special variable winning ball device 7B having a big winning opening are provided. The first special variable winning ball device 7A includes a big winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and forms a first big winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the big winning opening door. The second special variable winning ball device 7B includes a big winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 83 (see FIG. 2), and forms a second big winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the big winning opening door.

[0108] In the first special variable winning ball device 7A, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the first big winning opening, and game balls cannot enter (pass through) the first big winning opening. On the other hand, in the first special variable winning ball device 7A, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is in the on state, the big winning opening door opens the first big winning opening, and game balls can easily enter the first big winning opening.

[0109] Similarly, in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, when the solenoid 83 for the big winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the second big winning opening, and game balls cannot enter (pass through) the second big winning opening. On the other hand, in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, when the solenoid 83 for the big winning opening door is in the on state, the big winning opening door opens the second big winning opening, and game balls can easily enter the second big winning opening.

[0110] Game balls that enter the first big winning opening are detected by the first count switch 23 (see Figure 2), and game balls that enter the second big winning opening are detected by the second count switch 24 (see Figure 2). When game balls are detected by these first count switch 23 and second count switch 24, that is, when game balls enter the big winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When game balls enter the big winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when game balls enter the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, or the general winning opening 10, for example.

[0111] When game balls enter each winning opening including the general winning opening 10, it is also called "winning". In particular, winning at the starting openings (the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening) is also called starting winning.

[0112] At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the lower left of the game area), a normal symbol display 20 is provided. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs or the like, and performs variable display of normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9", lighting patterns such as "-", etc. The normal symbols may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of normal symbols is also called a normal symbol game.

[0113] To the right of the image display device 5, a passage gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided. Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, a normal symbol game is executed.

[0114] Below the normal symbol display 20, a normal symbol hold display 25C is provided. The normal symbol hold display 25C includes, for example, 4 LEDs, and displays the number of normal symbol games whose execution is on hold, that is, the normal symbol hold memory number, by the number of lit LEDs.

[0115] On the surface of the game board 2, in addition to the above configuration, a windmill and a large number of obstacle pins for changing the flow direction and speed of the game balls are provided. At the bottom of the game area, an out port is provided for taking in game balls that have not entered any winning ports.

[0116] In addition, the game area in the present embodiment is an area formed to the left of the image display device 5, and a left game area 2L where game balls can win at the general winning port 10 and the first start winning port formed by the winning ball device 6A as the game balls flow down; and an area formed to the right of the image display device 5, and a right game area 2R where game balls can win at the second start winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the first big winning port or the second big winning port formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 and can pass through the passage gate 41 as the game balls flow down.

[0117] Still, the normal state in the present embodiment is a gaming state in which the player mainly launches the game ball toward the left gaming area 2L, and the time-limited state, the sure-change state, and the big-win gaming state in the present embodiment are gaming states in which the player launches the game ball toward the right gaming area 2R.

[0118] At the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided. A main lamp 9a is provided at the upper position of the image display device 5 in the gaming machine frame 3. Side lamps 9b are provided on the left and right of the main lamp 9a so as to surround the gaming area. A button lamp 9e is provided below the game board 2. The main lamp 9a, the side lamps 9b, and the button lamp 9e provided on the gaming machine frame 3 are also referred to as "frame lamps".

[0119] At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (the upper position of the image display device 5 in FIG. 1), a movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided, and a movable body lamp 9d is provided on the movable body 32. In addition, an attacker lamp 9c is provided near the special variable winning ball device 7 on the game board 2, and a decorative lamp 9f is provided on the left side of the game board 2. The attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, and the decorative lamp 9f provided on the game board 2 are also referred to as "board lamps". Further, the main lamp 9a, the side lamps 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the button lamp 9e, and the decorative lamp 9f may be collectively referred to as the game effect lamp 9. Still, the main lamp 9a, the side lamps 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, the movable body lamp 9d, the button lamp 9e, and the decorative lamp 9f are configured to include LEDs. Also, various lamps will be described later.

[0120] At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 that is operated by a player or the like to launch the game ball toward the gaming area by a ball hitting and launching device is provided.

[0121] At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, there is provided a hitting ball supply tray (upper tray) that can hold (store) the gaming balls paid out as prize balls or the gaming balls lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine so as to supply them to the hitting ball launching device. Note that, separately from the upper tray, a payout unit (hitting ball supply tray) for paying out prize balls when the upper tray is full may be provided on the gaming machine frame 3.

[0122] At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a stick controller 31A that can be gripped by a player and tilted is attached. The stick controller 31 is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. Operations on the stick controller 31A are detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

[0123] At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a push button 31B is provided that enables a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing or the like. Operations on the push button 31B are detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

[0124] In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the operations (such as operations) of the player, but other detection means may be provided.

[0125] (Outline of the progress of the game) By a rotational operation of the hitting ball operation handle 30 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the player, the gaming ball is launched toward the gaming area. When the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41, a normal pattern game by the normal pattern display 20 is started. Note that, when the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period of execution of the previous normal pattern game or the like (when the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal pattern game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately), the normal pattern game based on the passage is held until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

[0126] In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (normal symbol for a win) stops and is displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "a win on the normal symbol". On the other hand, as a determined normal symbol, if a normal symbol other than the normal symbol for a win (a miss on the normal symbol) stops and is displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "a miss on the normal symbol". When it becomes "a win on the normal symbol", opening control is performed to keep the variable winning ball device 6B open for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening becomes open).

[0127] When a game ball enters the first start winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol display device 4A starts the first special symbol game.

[0128] When a game ball enters the second start winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol display device 4B starts the second special symbol game.

[0129] In addition, during the period when the special symbol game is being executed and during the period when the game is controlled to be in the big win game state described later, if a game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening (a start win occurs but the special symbol game based on the start win cannot be immediately executed), the special symbol game based on the entry is held until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

[0130] In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big win symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol varies according to the big win type described later) stops and is displayed as the determined special symbol, it becomes "big win", and if a special symbol different from the big win symbol (miss symbol, for example, "-") stops and is displayed, it becomes "miss".

[0131] After the display result in the special symbol game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to be in the big win game state, which is an advantageous state for the player.

[0132] In the big win gaming state, the first big winning opening and the second big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 are opened in a predetermined manner. The open state continues until the earlier timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). The predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the big winning opening can be opened in one round, and hereinafter is also referred to as the opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is in the open state in this way is called a round (round game). In the big win gaming state, the round can be repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number of times (10 times, 6 times, etc.) is reached.

[0133] In the big win gaming state, the player can obtain prize balls by making the game balls enter the big winning opening. Therefore, the big win gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The more rounds there are in the big win gaming state and the longer the opening upper limit period is, the more advantageous it is for the player.

[0134] In addition, a big win type is set for the "big win". For example, a plurality of types of opening modes of the big winning opening (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) and gaming states after the big win gaming state (normal state, time-saving state, probability-variable state, etc.) are prepared, and the big win type is set according to these. As the big win type, there may be provided a big win type in which many prize balls can be obtained, a big win type with few prize balls, or a big win type in which almost no prize balls can be obtained.

[0135] After the big win gaming state ends, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a probability-variable state according to the above big win type.

[0136] In the short-time state, control (short-time control) is executed to shorten the average special symbol variation time (the period during which the special symbol varies) compared to the normal state. In the short-time state, control (high-opening control, high-base control) is also executed to make it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening, for example, by shortening the average normal symbol variation time (the period during which the normal symbol varies) compared to the normal state or by increasing the probability of "winning per normal symbol" in the normal symbol game compared to the normal state. Since the short-time state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (especially the second special symbol) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

[0137] In the probability variation state, in addition to the short-time control, probability variation control is executed to increase the probability that the display result becomes a "big win" compared to the normal state. Since the probability variation state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and it is easy to get a "big win", it is an even more advantageous state for the player.

[0138] The short-time state and the probability variation state continue until any one of the end conditions, such as a predetermined number of special symbol games being executed or the next big win game state being started, is satisfied first. What is called "running out of times" when the execution of a predetermined number of special symbol games becomes the end condition is also referred to as "running out of times in short-time", "running out of times in probability variation", etc.

[0139] The normal state refers to a game state other than advantageous states such as a big win game state advantageous to the player and special states such as the short-time state and the probability variation state, and the pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability that the display result in the normal symbol game becomes "winning per normal symbol" and the probability that the display result in the special symbol game becomes a "big win", is controlled to be the same as the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when no predetermined return process is executed after power-on as in the case of a system reset).

[0140] The state in which the probability variation control is being executed is also referred to as the high probability state, and the state in which the probability variation control is not being executed is also referred to as the low probability state. The state in which the time shortening control is being executed is also referred to as the high base state, and the state in which the time shortening control is not being executed is also referred to as the low base state. By combining these, the time shortening state is also referred to as the low probability high base state, the probability variation state is also referred to as the high probability high base state, the normal state is also referred to as the low probability low base state, etc. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

[0141] In addition, in this embodiment, the big winning openings that become the opening mode in a specific round (for example, the 6th round) differ according to the big winning type. In the big winning type in which the second winning opening becomes the opening mode in the specific round, the game balls enter the second big winning opening. That is, based on the detection by the second count switch 24, after the big winning game ends, the game state is controlled to the probability variation state (high probability high base state).

[0142] (Advancement of the performance, etc.) In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or livening up the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The said effect will be demonstrated below. In addition, although the said effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, in addition to or instead of the said display, it may be performed as an effect using the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting and extinguishing of the game effect lamp 9, the movement of the movable body 32, or an arbitrary effect device including some or all of these.

[0143] As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the "left", "center", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the image display device 5, the variable display of the decorative symbols is started corresponding to the start of the first special figure game or the second special figure game. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the determined special symbol) stops being displayed in the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the determined decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols), which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbols, also stops being displayed (derived).

[0144] During the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode and, for the decorative symbol that has not yet stopped being displayed when the decorative symbol stopped being displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later, the variable display continues, etc.

[0145] In addition, a reach effect is executed in response to the reach mode being achieved during the variable display of the decorative symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, multiple types of reach effects are executed in which the ratio (also called jackpot reliability or jackpot expectancy) at which the display result (display result of the special figure game or display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol) becomes a "jackpot" varies according to the effect mode. Examples of reach effects include a normal reach and a super reach with a higher jackpot reliability than the normal reach.

[0146] When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", on the screen of the image display device 5, as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol, a determined decorative symbol that becomes a predetermined jackpot combination is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decorative symbol (for example, "7", etc.) stops being displayed aligned on a predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "center", and "right".

[0147] When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "miss", the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol does not become a reach mode, and as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol, a determined decorative symbol of a non-reach combination (also called "non-reach miss") may stop being displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes "non-reach miss"). Also, when the display result becomes a "miss", after the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a reach mode, as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol, a determined decorative symbol of a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination (also called "reach miss") may stop being displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes "reach miss").

[0148] The effects that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute include displaying the above variable display-compatible displays (hold display and active display). Also, as other effects, for example, a preview effect that previews the jackpot reliability is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The preview effect includes a preview effect that previews the jackpot reliability in the variable display being executed and a pre-read preview effect that previews the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (the variable display whose execution is on hold). As the pre-read preview effect, an effect that changes the display mode of the variable display-compatible display (hold display and active display) to a mode different from the normal one may be executed.

[0149] Also, in the image display device 5, a pseudo continuous effect that makes a single variable display appear as if it were a plurality of variable displays may be executed by temporarily pausing the decorative symbols during the variable display of the decorative symbols and then resuming the variable display.

[0150] Even during the jackpot gaming state, a jackpot-in effect that notifies the jackpot gaming state is executed. As the jackpot-in effect, an effect that notifies the number of rounds or an upgrading effect that indicates that the value of the jackpot gaming state is improving may be executed.

[0151] Also, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not being executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer-waiting demo effect is executed).

[0152] (Board Configuration) The pachinko gaming machine 1 is equipped with, for example, a main board 11, an effect control board 12, an audio control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, etc., as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, on the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1, various boards such as a payout control board, an information terminal board, a launch control board, etc. are arranged. Furthermore, a power supply board 17 is also installed. The various control boards include not only an electronic circuit board such as a printed wiring board on which conductor patterns are formed and electrical components can be mounted, but also an electronic circuit mounting board configured by mounting electrical components on the electronic circuit board to realize a specific electrical function.

[0153] A power switch 91 is connected to the power supply board 17. By operating the power switch 91 (turning it on), power can be supplied from an external power source such as AC 100V in a commercial power supply to electrical components including various control boards such as the main board 11 and the effect control board 12 from the power supply board 17. The power supply board 17 is provided with, for example, a rectifying circuit for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a power supply circuit for converting a predetermined DC voltage to a specific DC voltage (such as DC 12V or DC 5V), and the like.

[0154] The main board 11 is the main control board and has a function of controlling the progress of the above-mentioned games in the pachinko game machine 1 (including the execution of the special figure game (including the management of holds), the execution of the general figure game (including the management of holds), the jackpot game state, the game state, etc.). The main board 11 has a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, an output circuit 111, and the like.

[0155] The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a single-chip microcomputer and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103, a random number circuit 104, an I / O (Input / Output port) 105, and a real-time clock 106.

[0156] The CPU 103 performs a process of controlling the progress of the game (a process that realizes the functions of the main board 11) by executing the program stored in the ROM 101. At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (data such as variable patterns described later, production control commands described later, and various tables referred to when making various determinations described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. A part or all of the RAM 102 serves as a backup RAM whose stored content is preserved for a predetermined period even when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped. Incidentally, all or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be expanded to the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

[0157] The random number circuit 104 countably updates numerical data indicating various random values (game random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The game random numbers may be updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

[0158] The I / O 105 includes, for example, an input port to which various signals (detection signals described later) are input, and an output port for transmitting various signals (signals for controlling (driving) the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, the normal symbol display 20, the first hold display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal symbol hold display 25C, etc., solenoid drive signals).

[0159] The switch circuit 110 captures detection signals (detection signals indicating that a game ball has passed or entered and the switch has been turned on, etc.) from various switches for detecting game balls (gate switch 21, start port switches (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), first count switch 23, second count switch 24) and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, it is detected that a game ball has passed or entered.

[0160] The switch circuit 110 receives a reset signal, a power-off signal, and a clear signal from the power supply board 17 and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100. The reset signal is an operation stop signal for putting control circuits such as the game control microcomputer 100 into an operation stop state, and it may be output using any one of a power supply monitoring circuit, an IC incorporating a watchdog timer, and a system reset IC. The power-off signal turns off when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period during which the predetermined power supply voltage is below the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer. The clear signal turns on, for example, in response to a pressing operation on a clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17.

[0161] The output circuit 111 transmits a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal for turning on solenoids 81, 82, and 83) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory, the solenoid 82 for a big winning opening door, and the solenoid 83.

[0162] Also, the pachinko game machine 1 in the present embodiment is also provided with a payout control board (not shown). The payout control board is driven to pay out a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 3 balls, 5 balls, 10 balls, 15 balls, etc.) to the player based on receiving a payout signal, and is connected to a game ball detection sensor provided in a payout passage through which the game balls paid out by the payout device pass. It is possible to stop the drive of the payout device according to the mode of the game ball detection signal received from the game ball detection sensor.

[0163] In addition, a handle sensor for detecting the amount of operation by the player and a touch ring (touch sensor) for detecting that the player is gripping the hitting operation handle 30 are connected to the payout control board. Based on the signals input from these sensors, the payout control board controls a launching device capable of launching game balls onto the game board 2. Further, a signal indicating whether or not the touch ring is detected and a signal indicating that a game ball has been launched by the launching device are input from the payout control board to the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11.

[0164] The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) supplies an effect control command (a command specifying (notifying) the progress of the game, etc.) to the effect control board 12 as part of the control of the progress of the game according to the progress of the game. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, the display result of the special figure game (including the big win type), the variation pattern used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later)), the situation of the game (for example, the start and end of the variable display, the opening status of the big winning opening, the occurrence of a winning, the number of stored holds, the game state), commands specifying the occurrence of an error, etc.

[0165] The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, and has a function of receiving an effect control command and executing an effect (various effects according to the progress of the game, including driving of the movable body 32, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, etc.) based on the received effect control command.

[0166] The effect control board 12 is equipped with an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125.

[0167] The dedicated CPU 120 for performance control executes processes for performing performances together with the display control unit 123 (processes for realizing the functions of the performance control board 12, including determination of performances to be executed, etc.) by executing programs stored in the ROM 121. At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

[0168] The dedicated CPU 120 for performance control may also instruct the display control unit 123 to execute a performance based on detection signals (signals output when an operation by a player is detected, and signals appropriately indicating the operation content) from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B.

[0169] The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), etc., and executes a performance based on an instruction to execute a performance from the dedicated CPU 120 for performance control.

[0170] The display control unit 123 supplies a video signal corresponding to the performance to be executed to the image display device 5 based on an instruction to execute a performance from the dedicated CPU 120 for performance control, thereby causing the image display device 5 to display a performance image. Also, display processing is performed to output the image data in the display image creation area of the VRAM area designated in the display register as a video signal. In this embodiment, the display image creation area and the drawing area are switched every vertical blanking interval (V blank). For this reason, when drawing is performed on the area assigned as the drawing area in a certain V blank, it switches to the display image creation area in the next V blank, so that the image data drawn in the previous V blank is displayed and output, and drawing is also performed in the other area during that time.

[0171] Further, as shown in FIG. 3, since the display control unit 123 generates an image to be displayed on the image display device 5 by superimposing (compositing) a plurality of layers, in the VRAM area, there are arranged a layer image drawing area for drawing and arranging the images of these respective layers, and a display image creation area for generating an image to be displayed on the image display device 5 by further superimposing (compositing) the images drawn and arranged in each layer image drawing area. Note that there are concepts of upper, middle, and lower in each layer image drawing area, and the image in the upper layer image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority in the image display device 5, and the image in the lower layer drawing area is set to have a lower display priority in the image display device 5.

[0172] As shown in FIG. 4, in the VRAM area, there are a layer 1 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a background image as the image of layer 1, a layer 2 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a decorative pattern as the image of layer 2, a layer 3 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an object image such as a character as the image of layer 3, a layer 4 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an enlarged effect image described later as the image of layer 4, a layer 5 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a decorative effect image described later as the image of layer 5, a layer 6 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a crack precursor image (such as a glass plate image) described later as the image of layer 6, a layer 7 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a glass plate image A as a crack target image to be displayed in place of the glass plate image and a fragment image generated by the cracking of the glass plate image A as the image of layer 7, a layer 8 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an operation effect image described later as the image of layer 8, a layer 9 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a whiteout image 003SG303 described later as the image of layer 9, a layer 10 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an operation promotion image described later as the image of layer 10, a layer 11 image drawing area for drawing and arranging variable display corresponding display (hold display or active display) as the image of layer 11, a layer 12 image drawing area for drawing and arranging an image of a right-handed display or a left-handed display described later as the image of layer 12, and a layer 13 image drawing area for drawing and arranging a small pattern (fourth pattern) as the image of layer 13 are arranged.

[0173] The enlargement effect in the present embodiment is an image that imitates (is in a similar relationship with) the target image and is enlarged and displayed over time in each effect. It is an image with a higher transmittance than the target image, and the transmittance gradually increases as it is enlarged (see FIGS. 83 to 97). The decoration effect in the present embodiment is an image with a different shape from the target image in each effect, and is an image with at least the same transmittance (transmittance 0%) as the target image at the start of display (see FIGS. 98 and 99). Also, compared with the decoration effect, the development cost of the enlargement effect is lower. Specifically, the decoration effect is an image that requires a certain amount of time for creation because dedicated material data is prepared and the material data is appropriately processed, while the enlargement effect can be created by diverting the material data of the decorative pattern, so it is an image that can be created in a short period of time. That is, the enlargement effect is an image that can effectively make the target image to be noticed stand out while having a low development cost.

[0174] In this embodiment, an image to be displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 can be generated by superimposing each image drawn and arranged in these layer 1 image drawing areas to layer 13 image drawing areas. Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area is set to have the lowest display priority, the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area, the image drawn in the layer 12 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area, and the image drawn in the layer 13 image drawing area is set to have a higher display priority than the image drawn in the layer 12 image drawing area.

[0175] That is, the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area is the image displayed in the bottom layer in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 1 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 2 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 3 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 4 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 5 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 6 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 7 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 8 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 9 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 10 image drawing area in the image display device 5, the image drawn in the layer 12 image drawing area is the image displayed (prioritized) in the upper layer than the image drawn in the layer 11 image drawing area in the image display device 5, and the image drawn in the layer 13 image drawing area is the image displayed in the top layer in the image display device 5.

[0176] The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 and a lamp signal (a signal for designating the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) to the lamp control board 14 in order to perform voice output synchronized with the display of the production image and the lighting / extinguishing of the game effect lamp 9. Also, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

[0177] The sound control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R.

[0178] The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9, drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and lights / extinguishes the game effect lamp 9 in the mode designated by the lamp signal. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the voice output and the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

[0179] Note that the control of the voice output, the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp (such as the supply of the sound designation signal and the lamp signal), and the control of the movable body 32 (such as the supply of the signal for operating the movable body 32) may be executed by the production control CPU 120.

[0180] The random number circuit 124 countably updates numerical data indicating various random values (production random numbers) used for executing various productions in a updatable manner. The production random numbers may be updated by the production control CPU 120 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

[0181] The I / O 125 mounted on the production control board 12 includes an input port for capturing production control commands transmitted from, for example, the main board 11, and an output port for transmitting various signals (video signal, sound designation signal, lamp signal).

[0182] Boards other than the main board 11, such as the performance control board 12, the audio control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as sub-boards. A pachinko gaming machine 1 may be provided with a plurality of sub-boards according to functions, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

[0183] FIG. 6(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the content of the performance control command used in the present embodiment. The performance control command has, for example, a two-byte configuration, where the first byte indicates MODE (classification of the command) and the second byte represents EXT (type of the command). The leading bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to "0", and the leading bit of the EXT data is set to "0". Note that the command format shown in FIG. 6(A) is only an example, and other command formats may be used. Also, in this example, the control command is composed of two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be 1, or may be a plurality of three or more.

[0184] In the example shown in FIG. 6(A), the command 8001H is the first variable display start command for specifying the start of variable display in the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A. The command 8002H is the second variable display start command for specifying the start of variable display in the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a variable pattern specification command for specifying the variable pattern (variation time (variable display time)) of the decorative symbols (also referred to as performance symbols) variably displayed in the "left", "center", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and it may be any value set according to the instruction content by the performance control command. Note that in the variable pattern specification command, different EXT data is set according to the specified variable pattern and the like.

[0185] Command 8CXXH is a variable display result specification command, which is an effect control command for specifying variable display results such as special symbols and decorative symbols. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in Fig. 6(B), different EXT data are set according to the determination result (pre-determined result) of whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "failure" or "big win", or the determination result (big win type determination result) of which of multiple types the big win type is when the variable display result is "big win".

[0186] In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in Fig. 6(B), command 8C00H is the first variable display result specification command indicating the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "failure". Command 8C01H is the second variable display result specification command notifying the pre-determined result and the big win type determination result that the variable display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win A". Command 8C02H is the third variable display result specification command notifying the pre-determined result and the big win type determination result that the variable display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win B". Command 8C03H is the fourth variable display result specification command notifying the pre-determined result and the big win type determination result that the variable display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win C".

[0187] Command 8F00H is a symbol determination command that specifies the stoppage (confirmation) of symbol variation in each of the decoration symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "center", and "right" in the image display device 5. Command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state designation command, for example, different EXT data is set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, command 9500H is set as the first game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither time shortening control nor probability variation control is performed, command 9501H is set as the second game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, time shortening state) in which time shortening control is performed while probability variation control is not performed, and command 9502H is set as the third game state designation command corresponding to a game state (high probability high base state, probability variation state) in which time shortening control and probability variation control are performed. Note that the high probability high base state may sometimes be simply referred to as the "probability variation state".

[0188] Command A0XXH is a jackpot start instruction command (also referred to as a "fanfare command") that specifies the display of a production image indicating the start of a jackpot game. Command A1XXH is a large In the jackpot game state, it is a large winning opening open notification command that notifies that it is the period during which the large winning opening is in an open state. Command A2XXH is a large winning opening post-opening notification command that notifies that it is the period during which the large winning opening changes from an open state to a closed state in the jackpot game state. Command A3XXH is a jackpot end designation command that specifies the display of a production image at the end of the jackpot game.

[0189] In the winning start specification command or the winning end specification command, for example, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result or the jackpot type determination result, such as by setting EXT data similar to the variable display result specification command. Alternatively, in the winning start specification command or the winning end specification command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the EXT data to be set may be made different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result specification command. In the big winning opening notification command and the big winning opening after notification command, for example, different EXT data are set corresponding to the number of times of execution of the round in the jackpot state described later (for example, from "0" to "10").

[0190] Command B100H is a first start port winning designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied based on the fact that a game ball that has passed (entered) through the first start winning port formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first start port switch 22A and a start winning (first start winning) has occurred. Command B200H is a second start port winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing a special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied based on the fact that a game ball that has passed (entered) through the second start winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second start port switch 22B and a start winning (second start winning) has occurred. Command B300H is a big winning port winning designation command for notifying that 15 bonus balls are to be paid out based on the fact that a game ball that has passed (entered) through the first big winning port or the second big winning port of the special variable winning ball device 7 is detected by the first count switch 23 or the second count switch 24 and a winning has occurred.

[0191] Command C1XXH is a first reserved memory number notification command that notifies the first special figure reserved memory number in order to identify the special figure reserved memory number. Command C2XXH is a second reserved memory number notification command that notifies the second special figure reserved memory number in order to identify the special figure reserved memory number. The first reserved memory number notification command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 when, for example, the first start winning opening is passed (entered) by a game ball and the first start condition is satisfied, and the first start opening winning designation command is transmitted. The second reserved memory number notification command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 when, for example, the second start winning opening is passed (entered) by a game ball and the second start condition is satisfied, and the second start opening winning designation command is transmitted. Also, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command may be transmitted in response to, for example, the start of execution of the special figure game when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the reserved memory number decreases).

[0192] Commands C4XXH and C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result designation commands) that indicate the content of the winning determination result. Among these, command C4XXH is a symbol designation command that indicates, as the winning determination result, whether the variable display result is a "big win" or not and the determination result of the big win type (probability variation, non-probability variation, sudden probability variation). Also, command C6XXH is a variation category command that indicates, as the winning determination result, the determination result of which variation pattern the random number value for variation pattern determination will be, either "non-reach", "super reach", or "other (normal reach)".

[0193] Instead of the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command, a total reserved memory number notification command that notifies the total reserved memory number may be transmitted. That is, a total reserved memory number notification command for notifying an increase (or decrease) in the total reserved memory number may be used.

[0194] Command D000H is a V-win notification command for notifying that a game ball has won a prize in the second large winning opening in the big win gaming state, that is, that a game ball has been detected by the second count switch 24. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the detection of a game ball by the second count switch 24 during big win gaming may be described as "V-win". The "V-win" in the present embodiment refers to the execution of both time-saving control and probability-variable control (being controlled to a high-probability high-base state) in the high-base state after the big win gaming in which the win has occurred.

[0195] Command 9F00H is a customer-waiting demo display specification command for specifying the execution of a customer-waiting demonstration display (customer-waiting demo).

[0196] Note that the commands shown in FIG. 6(A) are examples, and it is also possible not to have some of these commands, or to use different commands instead of these commands, or to add commands different from these commands. For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls paid out based on a game ball winning a prize at each winning opening, a gate passage notification command for notifying that a game ball has passed through the passage gate 41, a notification command for notifying the remaining variable display times for which probability-variable control and time-saving control are executed, etc. may be provided.

[0197] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random values counted on the side of the main board 11. As shown in FIG. 7, on the side of the main board 11, numerical data indicating each of the random value MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random value MR2 for big win type determination, the random value MR3 for variation pattern type determination, the random value MR4 for variation pattern determination, the random value MR5 for normal figure display result determination, and the random value MR6 for initial value determination of the random value MR5 is controlled to be countable. Note that, in order to enhance the game effect, random values other than these may be used. The random numbers used for controlling the progress of such games are also referred to as game random numbers.

[0198] The random number circuit 104 may be any circuit that counts numerical data indicating some or all of these random values MR1 to MR6. The CPU 103 may update various numerical data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting section (not shown), to count numerical data indicating some of the random values MR1 to MR6.

[0199] The random value MR1 for special figure display result determination is a random value used to determine whether to control the variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game to the "big win" state as a big win game state. For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "65536". The random value MR2 for big win type determination is a random value used to determine the big win type to be either "big win A", "big win B", or "big win C" when the variable display result is "big win". For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "99".

[0200] The random value MR3 for variation pattern type determination is a random value used to determine the variation pattern type in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to be either "non-reach", "normal reach", or "super reach". For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "4095".

[0201] The random value MR4 for variation pattern determination is a random value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to be one of a plurality of types prepared in advance. For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "255".

[0202] The random value MR5 for normal figure display result determination is a random value used to make a determination such as whether the variable display result in the normal figure game by the normal figure display 20 is a "normal figure win" or a "normal figure miss". For example, it takes a value in the range of "3" to "13".

[0203] The random value MR6 for initial MR value determination is a random value used to determine the initial value of the random value MR5, and takes a value in the range of, for example, "3" to "13".

[0204] FIG. 8 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, a common display result determination table is used for both the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B as the display result determination table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and individual display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

[0205] The display result determination table is a table referred to for determining whether to control the variable display result as a "big win" and enter the big win game state based on the random value MR1 for special figure display result determination, before the determined special symbol that becomes the variable display result is derived and displayed in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A or the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B.

[0206] In the display result determination table, the value (determination value) to be compared with the random value MR1 for special figure display result determination is assigned to the special figure display results of "big win" and "miss" according to whether the game state in the pachinko machine 1 is in the normal state or the time-saving state (low probability state), or the probability variable state (high probability state).

[0207] In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value compared with the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination is the determination data assigned to the determination result of whether to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big win". In the display result determination table, when the game state is the probability variable state (high probability state), more determination values are assigned to the special figure display result of "big win" than when it is the normal state or the time reduction state (low probability state). As a result, the probability that the pachinko gaming machine 1 determines to control the special figure display result as "big win" and enter the jackpot game state (about 1 / 30 in this embodiment) is higher than the probability (about 1 / 300 in this embodiment) when the machine is in the time reduction state (low probability state). That is, in the display result determination table, the determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether to control the jackpot game state so that the probability of determining to control the jackpot game state is higher when the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability variable state (high probability state) than when it is in the normal state or the time reduction state.

[0208] FIG. 9(A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table in this embodiment is a table referred to for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types based on the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big win". In the jackpot type determination table, according to whether the special symbol that has undergone variable display (fluctuating display) in the special figure game is the first special figure (special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special figure (special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (determination value) compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination is assigned to a plurality of jackpot types such as "jackpot A", "jackpot B", and "jackpot C".

[0209] Here, the jackpot types in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9(B). In this embodiment, as jackpot types, Jackpot A, Jackpot B, and Jackpot C are provided, in which time shortening control is executed for up to 100 variable displays after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Further, these Jackpot A, Jackpot B, and Jackpot C are also jackpots in which probability variation control is executed for up to 100 variable displays after the end of the jackpot gaming state when a game ball wins in the second large winning opening (so-called V winning) in the sixth round of the jackpot gaming state.

[0210] The jackpot gaming state by "Jackpot A" is a jackpot (a 6-round and V-winning-impossible jackpot) gaming state in which the rounds that change the first large winning opening to an advantageous open state for the player are repeated 6 times from the first round to the sixth round. The jackpot gaming state by "Jackpot B" is a jackpot (a 6-round and V-winning-possible jackpot) gaming state in which the first large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player from the first round to the fifth round, while the second large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player in the sixth round. The jackpot gaming state by "Jackpot C" is a jackpot (a 10-round and V-winning-possible jackpot) gaming state in which the first large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player from the first round to the fifth round and from the seventh round to the tenth round, while the second large winning opening is changed to an advantageous open state for the player in the sixth round.

[0211] In this embodiment, since at least time shortening control is executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state, when a jackpot occurs while the time shortening control is being executed, time shortening control (and probability variation control) is executed again after the end of the jackpot gaming state, and a so-called continuous winning state occurs in which jackpot gaming states occur continuously without passing through the normal state.

[0212] Note that in this embodiment, an example is shown in which three types of Jackpot A to Jackpot C are provided as jackpot types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types, or four or more types of jackpot types may be provided.

[0213] Also, as shown in FIG. 9(A), in the jackpot type determination table, depending on whether the variable display special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the allocation of determination values for the jackpot types of "Jackpot A", "Jackpot B", and "Jackpot C" is different. That is, when the variable display special figure is the first special figure, the determination values within a predetermined range (values in the range of "0" to "49") are allocated to the jackpot types of "Jackpot A" and "Jackpot B" with fewer rounds, while when the variable display special figure is the second special figure, no determination values are allocated to the jackpot types of "Jackpot A" and "Jackpot B". With such a setting, when determining the jackpot type to be one of multiple types in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A, and when determining the jackpot type to be one of multiple types in the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "Jackpot A" or "Jackpot B" with fewer rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is determined that the jackpot type will not be controlled to a jackpot state with fewer rounds as "Jackpot A" or "Jackpot B". Therefore, for example, in a game state where game balls easily enter the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B due to high release control associated with time shortening control, it is possible to prevent the frequent occurrence of a jackpot state with few winning balls obtained and the resulting decline in game interest.

[0214] FIGS. 10 and 11 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the variation patterns in the present embodiment. The variation patterns of the present embodiment are roughly composed of a losing variation pattern in which the variable display result is a loss and a jackpot variation pattern in which the variable display result is a jackpot.

[0215] As shown in FIG. 10, the deviation variation patterns can be roughly classified into non-reach deviation variation patterns (variation pattern type is non-reach variation pattern) where deviation occurs without executing any reach effects, normal reach variation patterns (variation pattern type is normal reach variation pattern) where deviation occurs after executing the reach effect of normal reach, low-base weak super reach A variation patterns (variation pattern type is low-base weak super reach A variation pattern) where deviation occurs after executing the reach effect of low-base weak super reach A or low-base weak super reach B in the normal state (low-base state), low-base strong super reach A variation patterns (variation pattern type is low-base strong super reach A variation pattern) where deviation occurs after finally executing the reach effect of low-base strong super reach A in the normal state (low-base state), low-base strong super reach B variation patterns (variation pattern type is low-base strong super reach B variation pattern) where deviation occurs after finally executing the reach effect of low-base strong super reach B in the normal state (low-base state), low-base strong super reach C variation patterns (variation pattern type is low-base strong super reach C variation pattern) where deviation occurs after finally executing the reach effect of low-base strong super reach C in the normal state (low-base state), low-base strongest super reach variation patterns (variation pattern type is low-base strongest super reach variation pattern) where deviation occurs after finally executing the reach effect of low-base strongest super reach in the normal state (low-base state), high-base super reach A variation patterns (variation pattern type is high-base super reach A variation pattern) where deviation occurs after finally executing the reach effect of high-base super reach A in the time-saving state or probability-variable state (high-base state), high-base super reach B variation patterns (variation pattern type is high-base super reach B variation pattern) where deviation occurs after finally executing the reach effect of high-base super reach B in the time-saving state or probability-variable state (high-base state),In the short-time state or the probability-variable state (high-base state), a variation pattern of the high-base super reach C (the variation pattern type is the variation pattern of the high-base super reach C) that will result in a miss if the reach effect of the high-base super reach C is finally executed, and a variation pattern of the high-base super reach D (the variation pattern type is the variation pattern of the high-base super reach D) that will result in a miss if the reach effect of the high-base super reach D is finally executed in the short-time state or the probability-variable state (high-base state) are provided.

After the reach effect of the normal reach, the reach effect of the high base super reach C is executed and a single variation pattern of PB1-16 that results in a big win is provided. As for the variation pattern type being the variation pattern of high base super reach D, the special figure variation time is 45,000 ms, which is 30,000 ms plus the big win notification period of 15,000 ms. After the reach effect of the normal reach, the reach effect of the high base super reach D is executed and a single variation pattern of PB1-17 that results in a big win is provided.

[0230] The determination table stored in the ROM101 includes a plurality of variation pattern type determination tables for determining the variation pattern type according to the game state and the variable display result, the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern type determination table, the game state, the variable display result, and a plurality of variation pattern type determination tables for determining the variation pattern according to the reserved storage number of the special symbol for executing the variable display (the reserved storage number for the variable display target).

[0231] In this embodiment, a variation pattern type determination table corresponding to the game state and the variable display result is selected. Next, the selected variation pattern type determination table is compared with the read random value MR3 to determine the variation pattern type.

[0232] For example, when the game state is the normal state and the variable display result is a loss, select the loss variable pattern type determination table A shown in Fig. 12(A), and compare the loss variable pattern type determination table A with the value of the random number MR3 to determine the variable pattern type. When the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 3299, determine the variable pattern type as "non-reach"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 3300 to 4053, determine the variable pattern type as "normal reach"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4054 to 4073, determine the variable pattern type as "low base weak super reach"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4074 to 4081, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strong super reach A"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4082 to 4089, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strong super reach B"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4090 to 4094, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strong super reach C"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4095, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strongest super reach".

[0233] Also, when the game state is the time-limited state or the probability-variable state and the variable display result is a loss, select the loss variable pattern type determination table B shown in Fig. 12(B), and compare the loss variable pattern type determination table B with the value of the random number MR3 to determine the variable pattern type. When the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 3849, determine the variable pattern type as "non-reach"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 3850 to 4048, determine the variable pattern type as "normal reach"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4049 to 4066, determine the variable pattern type as "high base super reach A"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4067 to 4083, determine the variable pattern type as "high base super reach B"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4084 to 4094, determine the variable pattern type as "high base super reach C"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4095, determine the variable pattern type as "high base super reach D".

[0234] In addition, when the game state is the normal state and the variable display result is a big win, select the big win variable pattern type determination table A shown in Fig. 12(C), and compare the big win variable pattern type determination table A with the value of the random number MR3 to determine the variable pattern type. When the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 75, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strong super reach A"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 976 to 2075, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strong super reach B"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 2076 to 3380, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strong super reach C"; when the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 3381 to 4095, determine the variable pattern type as "low base strongest super reach".

[0235] In addition, when the game state is the time-saving state or the probability-variable state and the variable display result is a big win, select the big win variable pattern type determination table B shown in Fig. 12(D), and compare the big win varia...
