Below the hitting ball supply tray 3, there are provided a surplus ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball feeder tray 3, a hit ball operation handle 5 for firing the hit ball, and the like. Inside the pachinko gaming machine 1, there is provided a hitting ball launching device for hitting a game ball into the game area 7 in response to the operation of the hitting ball operation handle 5. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. On the front surface of the game board 6, a game area 7 in which driven game balls can flow down is formed.

  A push button 120 is provided as an operating means on a member forming the hit ball supply tray (upper tray) 3. The operation of the player on the push button 120 is detected by the push sensor 124 (see FIG. 2).

  In the vicinity of the center of the game area 7, a production display device 9 capable of variably displaying (also referred to as variable display) production symbols as a plurality of types of identification information capable of identifying each is provided. On the right side of the effect display device 9 in the game area 7, a first special symbol display 8a that variably displays the first special symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each, and a plurality of types that can identify each A second special symbol display 8b that variably displays the second special symbol as identification information is provided.

  Each of the first special symbol display device 8a and the second special symbol display device 8b is composed of a display device (for example, 7-segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers and characters. The effect display device 9 is composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD), and a display for displaying various images such as a variable display of effect symbols synchronized with the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol on the display screen. Areas are provided. In such a display area, for example, a symbol display area in which three decorative (for effect) effect symbols for "left", "middle", and "right" are variably displayed is formed.

Below the effect display device 9, a winning device having a first starting winning opening 13 is provided. The game ball that has won the first start winning opening 13 is detected by the first starting opening switch 13a. Further, below the winning device having the first starting winning opening 13, there is provided a variable winning ball device 15 having a second starting winning opening 14 capable of winning game balls. The game ball that has won the second starting winning opening 14 is detected by the second starting opening switch 14a.

  The variable winning ball device 15 is provided with a pair of left and right movable pieces, and is in an open state (first state) that is advantageous to the player (the game ball can enter) and a closed state that is disadvantageous to the player (the game ball cannot enter). It is a winning means that can be changed to a state (second state) and is driven by the solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening 14 (it becomes easier to start winning). When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, the game ball cannot enter the second start winning port 14. The variable winning ball device 15 may be configured to be able to win in the closed state (although it is difficult for the game ball to win) in the closed state. The variable winning ball device 15 is composed of a variable winning means capable of changing between a first state in which a game ball can enter a predetermined area and a second state in which a game ball cannot enter or is difficult to enter a predetermined area. If you have.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, there is no area in which the variable winning ball device 15 can receive the game ball, so that the game ball is more likely to enter the first starting prize hole 13 than the second starting prize hole 14. On the other hand, when the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the area in which the variable winning ball device 15 can receive the game balls is wider than the first starting winning port 13, and therefore the second starting winning port 13 is second. It is easy for a game ball to enter the starting winning opening 14. Hereinafter, the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 may be collectively referred to as a starting winning opening or a starting opening.

  On the left side of the effect display device 9, there is provided a normal symbol display 10 that variably displays ordinary symbols that can be identified. Normally, the symbol display device 10 is realized by a display device (for example, a 7-segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0-9.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the variable display of the normal symbol display device 10 is started. The variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state for a predetermined number of times and for a predetermined time when the stop symbol due to the variable display result on the normal symbol display device 10 becomes a predetermined symbol (a winning symbol.). In the vicinity of the normal symbol display device 10, a normal symbol hold storage display device 41 having a display unit of four LEDs for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. Each time the game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the variable display of the normal symbol is stored in a suspended manner, and the normal symbol storage storage indicator 41 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. Each time the variable display of the normal symbol display device 10 is started based on such a reserved storage of the normal symbol, the reserved storage of the normal symbol is exhausted, and the lit LED is reduced by 1.

  The variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14 as the starting winning area (including passing, winning) and first starting The first start condition (first execution condition) or the second start condition (second execution condition), which is the execution condition for the variable display, is established by being detected by the mouth switch 13a or the second start mouth switch 14a. Then, the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, for example, when the number of pending storage is not 0, in a state where the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed, And, it is started on the basis that the start condition of the variable display, which is a state where the big hit game is not executed, is satisfied. The variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, when the variation display time (variation time) elapses, the display result of the variation display (stop symbol) is derivatively displayed and ends. Further, regarding the variable display in which the starting condition is not yet established even though the game ball has entered the starting winning area such as the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14, within a predetermined upper limit number. Storing information at is called pending storage. The reserved memory due to the entry of the game ball into the first start winning opening 13 is called the first reserved memory. The reserved memory due to the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 14 is called the second reserved memory.

  Above the first special symbol display device 8a and the second special symbol display device 8b, the first special symbol reserved memory display device 18a and the second special symbol reserved memory display device 18b are provided. The first special symbol reserved memory display device 18a is composed of four display devices for displaying the number of reserved memories of the first reserved memory. The second special symbol reserved memory display device 18b is composed of four display devices for displaying the number of reserved memory of the second reserved memory. Each of the first special symbol hold storage display 18a and the second special symbol hold storage display 18b, each time there is a corresponding effective start winning, increase the number of indicators to light one, the corresponding special symbol display Each time the variable display in step 1 is started, the number of lighted indicators is reduced by 1.

  When the variable display of the first special symbol is being executed on the first special symbol display device 8a, effect display such as variable display of the effect symbol is executed on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the variable display. When the variable display of the second special symbol is being executed on the second special symbol display device 8b, effect display such as variable display of the effect symbol is executed on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the variable display.

  The variable display of special symbols and effect symbols is executed, and when the big hit display result (big hit symbol) is displayed as a specific display result on the first special symbol display device 8a, or is specified on the second special symbol display device 8b. When the big hit display result (big hit pattern) as the display result is derived and displayed, the big hit display result (combination of big hit symbols) as the specific display result is also derived and displayed in the effect display device 9. Thus, when the specific display result is displayed as the variable display result, it is controlled to the specific game state (big hit game state) as an advantageous state in which a value advantageous to the player is given.

  Further, in the effect display device 9, the symbols other than the symbol to be the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol in the left and right middle symbols) are continued for a predetermined time, and the big hit symbols (for example, the symbols in the left, middle, and right are arranged in the same symbol). The combination of symbols) is stopped, oscillating, enlarged or reduced, or deformed in a state of being in agreement, or a plurality of symbols fluctuates in sync with the same symbol, or the positions of display symbols are changed. Then, the production performed in a state in which the possibility of a big hit continues before the final result is displayed (hereinafter, these states are referred to as reach states) is referred to as reach production.

  Here, in the reach state, when the effect symbols stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 9 form a part of the big hit combination, the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed are continuously changed. A state, or a display state in which all or a part of the effect symbols fluctuate in synchronization while forming all or a part of the big hit combination. In other words, the reach means a state in which the identification information constitutes the specific display result in the plurality of variable display areas, but at least a part of the variable areas is in the variable display. In this embodiment, the reach state is formed, for example, in a state where the same symbol is stopped in the left and right symbol display areas and the symbol is not stopped in the middle symbol display area. The symbols stopped in the left and right symbol display areas when the reach state is formed are called reach formation symbols, or reach symbols.

  Some of the reach is set so that when it appears, a big hit is more likely to occur than in a normal reach (normal reach). Such a special reach is called super reach. Reach includes normal reach, which is a basic reach, as a reach other than the special super reach. Normal reach is set so that big hits are less likely to occur than super reach.

  In the super reach, after the reach pattern is formed, a complicated effect display that improves the player's expectation of effects such as displaying a predetermined moving image is executed. Further, in the normal reach, a relatively simple effect display is executed.

When the reach pattern is formed after the reach state is reached and the shift display result is obtained, the reach is called a shift. In addition, when a reach display result is obtained in a mode in which the reach pattern is not formed without reaching the reach state, the non-reach is called a shift.

  Further, at the lower end portion in the display area of the effect display device 9, an image for displaying the generated pending storage information (hereinafter referred to as a pending image or a pending display) is displayed corresponding to the number of pending storage information. A display area is formed (not shown). In addition, information is displayed including an active display (also referred to as a variation corresponding display) corresponding to the variable display during execution of the variable display corresponding to the suspended display that has been deleted (moved or shifted) from the suspended display area. An active display area for displaying an image is formed adjacent to the reserved display area.

  An opening / closing plate driven by a solenoid 21 is provided below the variable winning ball device 15, and is in an open state (first state) that is advantageous to the player (the game ball can enter) and disadvantageous to the player (the game ball is The special variable winning ball device 20 is provided as a winning means capable of changing to a closed state (second state) in which entry is not possible. In the special variable winning ball device 20, the opening / closing plate is controlled to be open in the big hit game state, so that the big winning opening, which is a winning area, is opened. The game ball that has entered the special winning opening is detected as a winning ball by the count switch 23. It should be noted that the special variable winning ball device 20 may be configured to be able to win in the closed state (although it is difficult for the game ball to win) in the closed state.

  In the big hit game state, the repeat continuation control in which the special variable winning ball device 20 repeats the open state and the closed state is performed. In the repeat continuation control, a state in which the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened is called a round. A game in which the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened by repeated continuation control in a round is called a round game. In the big hit game state, after the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened, a predetermined end condition of the open state (a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) has elapsed in the open state, or a predetermined number (for example, The closed state is established in response to the satisfaction of the opening end condition (10 winning balls have been generated). When the opening end condition is satisfied, the continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of times of opening in the jackpot gaming state reaches the final round (for example, the 15th round) where the predetermined upper limit value is reached.

  There are a plurality of types of big hits, and when it is decided to make a big hit, one of the big hit types is selected. Among the types of "big hit", after being controlled to the big hit game state, it is a state in which there is a high probability that the special game state is determined to be a big hit compared to the normal state (normal game state that is not the probability variation state). The type (classification) of the jackpot that shifts to the probability variation state (abbreviation of the probability variation state and also called the high probability state) is called “probability variation jackpot”. As the special game state, accompanying the probability variation state, there is a case where the variation time (variation display period) of the special symbol or the effect symbol is controlled to a time saving state which is shorter than the non-time saving state. The special game state may be controlled to a time saving state independently of the probability variation state.

  In this way, by shifting to the time saving state, the variation time of the special symbol and the effect symbol is shortened, so when it is in the time saving state, an effective starting winning is likely to occur and a jackpot game may be performed. Increase. Note that, of the "big hits", the type (type) of big hits that is not shifted to the probability changing state after being controlled to the big hit game state is called "normal big hit".

  As a special game state, accompanying the probability variation state or the time saving state, by increasing the frequency with which the variable winning ball device 15 is opened, the frequency with which the game ball enters the variable winning ball device 15 is increased, and the variable winning is achieved. There is a case where the ball device 15 is controlled to be in a power-tube support control state that facilitates winning (increased entry, increased frequency). Since the power control support state is a high base state as described later, it will be mainly referred to as a high base state in the following description.

  As the electric Chu support control, control for shortening the variation time of the normal symbol to derive and display the display result early (normal symbol shortening control), control for increasing the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol will be a winning symbol (normal symbol probability change) Control), control for increasing the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 (opening time extension control), and control for increasing the opening number of the variable winning ball device 15 (opening number increasing control). When such control is performed, the ratio of time during which the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state is higher than when the control is not performed. Therefore, the winning frequency to the second start winning port 14 is increased. , The game ball is easy to start winning (the execution condition of the variable display on the special symbol display devices 8a, 8b and the effect display device 9 is easily established). Further, by increasing the winning frequency to the second starting winning opening 14 by such control, it becomes a gaming state in which the frequency of establishment of the second starting condition and / or the execution frequency of the variable display of the second special symbol increases.

  The state (high-frequency state) in which the winning frequency to the second start winning port 14 is increased by such electric Chu support control is the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball according to the winning number with respect to the number of shot balls. Since the ratio "base" is higher than when the control is not performed, it is called "high base condition". When such control is not performed, it is called "low base state". In addition, such control is control for facilitating the winning of the variable winning ball device 15, that is, the variable winning ball device 15 by supporting the winning with the electric tulip.

  "High probability state (probability change state)" and "Low probability state (non-probability change state)" are used as terms indicating the state of jackpot probability, and "high base state (electricity change)" is used as a term indicating a combination of base states. "Tu support control state)" and "low base state (non-electrical Tu support control state)".

  “Low-probability low-base state” and “high-probability high-base state” are used as terms indicating a combination of a state of jackpot probability and a state of base. The “low-probability low-base state” is a state that indicates that the state of jackpot probability is a low-probability state and the state of the base is a low-base state. The “high-probability-high-base state” is a state in which a state with a big hit probability is a high-probability state and a base state is a high-base state.

  At the lower part of the game board 6, there is an outlet 26 into which hit balls that have not been won are taken. Further, outside the game area 7, four speakers 27 for producing sound effects and voices are provided. A frame LED 28 provided on the front frame is provided on the outer periphery of the game area 7.

  In addition, a prepaid card unit (also simply referred to as a “card unit”) that enables a ball lending by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (not shown).

Further, the RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, a part or all of which is backed up by a backup power supply created on a power supply board (not shown). That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the content of the RAM 55 is saved for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot supply power). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (special symbol process flag) and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are stored in the backup RAM.

  The random number circuit 503 is a hardware circuit used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to make a big hit based on the display result of the variable display of the special symbol. The random number circuit 503 updates the numerical data according to the set update rule within the numerical range in which the initial value (for example, 0) and the upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and is generated at random timing. Based on the fact that the numerical value data is read (extracted) at the time of starting winning, a random number generation function is provided in which the numerical value data read becomes a random value. Further, the game control microcomputer 560 has a function of setting an initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503.

  Further, an input driver circuit 58 for giving a detection signal from the gate switch 32a, the first starting port switch 13a, the second starting port switch 14a and the count switch 23 to the game controlling microcomputer 560 is also mounted on the main board 31. In addition, the output circuit 59 that drives the solenoid 16 that opens and closes the variable winning ball device 15 and the solenoid 21 that opens and closes the special variable winning ball device 20 that forms the special winning opening in accordance with a command from the game control microcomputer 560 is also main. It is mounted on the substrate 31.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560, the first special symbol display device 8a, the second special symbol display device 8b that displays the special symbol in a variable manner, the normal symbol display device 10 that displays the ordinary symbol in a variable manner, the first special symbol reserved storage. The display control of the display 18a, the second special symbol hold storage display 18b and the normal symbol hold storage display 41 is performed.

  The effect control board 80 is equipped with the effect control microcomputer 100, the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the VDP 109, the I / O port unit 105, and the like. The ROM 102 stores programs and data for effect control such as display control. The RAM 103 is used as a work memory. The effect control microcomputer 100 includes an effect control CPU 101. The VDP 109 cooperates with the effect control microcomputer 100 to control the display of the effect display device 9. To the effect control CPU 101, the detection signal of the push sensor 124 is input via the input port 106.

  The game control microcomputer 560 is a relay board that passes a production control command instructing the production contents of various production devices such as the production display device 9 in only one direction from the main board 31 to the production control board 80. Send via 77. The effect control microcomputer 100 receives the effect control command and controls the variable display of the effect display device 9, and also controls the display of the frame LED 28 provided on the frame side via the lamp driver board 35. By controlling the sound output from the speaker 27 via the audio output board 70, various effect controls are performed.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, when a predetermined main process for game control is executed, a timer interrupt is periodically performed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is executed. The game control of can be executed. Variable display of special symbols such as the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and a specific game control such as a big hit game control, the game control that is executed when the timer interrupt process is executed The process processing is executed according to a predetermined process.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, data is extracted from various random counters, and the extracted data is used to make a jackpot determination, a jackpot type determination, a variation pattern type determination, a variation pattern determination, an ordinary hit determination, and a round dam counter. The initial value of is determined. In the game control microcomputer 560, based on such various determinations, jackpot game control, variable display of the first special symbol, variable display of the second special symbol, and various game controls such as variable display of the normal symbol. Run.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, predetermined control information such as a jackpot determination result, a jackpot type determination result, a variation pattern type determination result, and a variation pattern determination result based on such various determinations. Is transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 as an effect control command which is a command for effect control. In the effect control microcomputer 100, based on the received effect control command, the variable display of the first special symbol, the variable display of the second special symbol, and effects corresponding to the game control such as the big hit control are executed.

  In the effect control microcomputer 100, when a predetermined main process for effect control is executed, a timer interrupt is periodically performed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms, 4 ms, etc.), and the timer interrupt process is executed. As a result, various effect controls can be executed. The production related to the variable display of the production design, and the specific production control such as the production related to the big hit game state is performed according to a predetermined process by the production control process processing which is executed accompanying the timer interrupt processing. To be executed.

[Suspend production]
Next, the suspension consecutive effect in this embodiment will be described. The game control microcomputer 560, when the game ball enters the start winning area such as the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14, a random value for jackpot determination, a random value for jackpot type determination. , And a random value for fluctuation pattern determination are extracted. Then, if the start condition for starting the variable display such as the condition that the variable display is not being executed or the condition that the jackpot is not being hit is satisfied at the time of the start winning, the variable display is executed based on the extracted random number value.

  On the other hand, with respect to the variable display in which the starting condition is not yet established although the game ball has entered the starting winning area, the RAM 55 stores information indicating the extracted random number value at the time of starting winning. Then, at the time of the start winning, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits to the effect control microcomputer 100 a prefetch result notification command capable of specifying information indicating whether or not to make a big hit and information indicating a variation pattern. . The pending storage is read from the oldest one every time the variable display start condition is satisfied, and the variable display is executed based on the read information of the pending storage.

  By receiving such a pre-reading result notification command, the effect control microcomputer 100 becomes a big hit or a specific fluctuation pattern type until a big hit or a fluctuation display that is a specific fluctuation pattern type is executed. It is possible to execute a look-ahead effect that suggests or gives a notice.

  Such a pre-reading effect may be executed from the time of the first big hit state to the variable display of the second big hit state. In the present embodiment, the pre-reading effect executed in the previous big hit state is referred to as a holding continuous effect. The pre-reading effect that is executed from the end of the previous big hit state to the variable display that becomes the later big hit state is called a predetermined effect.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the flow of the continuous holding production process. This hold continuous production process,
It is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100. For the sake of convenience, this pending continuous production process is a collection of processes related to the pending continuous production among the processes executed in each process of the production control process process.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the effect control CPU 101 of the effect control microcomputer 100 determines whether or not the hold consecutive flag is in the off state (step S151). The holding continuous flag is a flag indicating whether or not the holding continuous effect is executed, and a big hit type of a big hit state later. If the holding continuous flag is in the OFF state, it indicates that the holding continuous production is not executed, and if the holding continuous flag indicates a big hit type in the subsequent big hit state, it indicates that the holding continuous production is executed. In the present embodiment, there are two types of jackpots, 16 round jackpot and 7 round jackpot, but the present invention is not limited to this, and if there are a plurality of jackpot types, there are three or more jackpots. Good.

  When it is determined that the holding continuous flag is in the off state (NO in step S151), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the start of the big hit state (step S152). When it is determined that it is the time of starting the big hit state (YES in step S152), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not there is a pending storage that is specified to be controlled in the big hit state (step S153). At the time of starting winning, a pre-reading result notification command indicating whether or not a big hit, a small hit, and a big hit type determination result out of the winning determination results is sent from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80. The determination result indicated by this command is stored in the RAM 103 as information corresponding to the pending storage. Based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not there is a pending storage that specifies to control the jackpot state.

  When it is determined that there is a hold storage that specifies that the jackpot state is to be controlled (YES in step S153), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not to execute the hold continuous effect (step S154). For example, it is determined that the holding continuous effect is executed with a probability of 50%. In addition, you may determine with another probability, for example, 100% of probability, to perform a holding continuous production.

  Then, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it has been determined to execute the pending continuous effect (step S155). When it is determined that the continuous holding production is determined to be executed (YES in step S155), the effect control CPU 101 sets the value of the continuous holding flag according to the big hit type of the target pending storage (step S156). For example, when the jackpot type is a 16-round jackpot, the value of the holding consecutive flag is set to a value indicating that the 16-round jackpot. The holding continuous flag is in the ON state when it has a value according to the big hit type.

  When it is determined that the hold consecutive flag is in the ON state (YES in step S151), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether it is the timing to execute the hold consecutive effect in the big hit state (step S160). . When it is determined that it is the timing to execute the continuous holding effect (YES in step S160), the effect control CPU 101 executes the continuous holding effect (step S161), and the pending storage is specified to control the big hit state. The hold display corresponding to a certain target is changed to a specific mode (here, a dedicated character mode when the hold continuous effect is executed) different from other hold displays (step S162).

  When it is determined that it is not the timing to execute the held continuous effect (NO in step S160), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether it is the end of the previous big hit state (step S163). When it is determined that it is the end of the previous big hit state (YES in step S163), the effect control CPU 101 executes the predetermined effect on the basis of the big hit type specified by the hold storage of the target indicated by the hold consecutive flag. Is determined (step S164).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a table for determining an execution mode of a predetermined effect with respect to the continuous holding effect. The execution mode of the predetermined effect is determined in step S164 using this table.

  Referring to FIG. 4, when the jackpot type of the target is a 16-round jackpot, it is determined with a probability of 80% that the chance continual notice effect is executed as the predetermined effect, and the background effect continuous notice effect is determined as the predetermined effect. Execution is determined with a probability of 10%, and non-execution of the predetermined effect is determined with a probability of 10%.

  When the jackpot type of the target is a 7-round jackpot, it is determined with a probability of 0% that the chance continual notice effect is executed as the predetermined effect, and 40% that the background effect continuous notice effect is executed as the predetermined effect. The probability is determined with a probability of not executing the predetermined effect with a probability of 60%.

  In the present embodiment, the chance continual notice effect is a special effect that can be executed only when the held continuous effect is executed in step S161. On the other hand, the background effect continuous announcement effect is a combined effect that can be executed even when the held continuous effect is not executed. In this way, when the chance continual notice production, which is a special production of the holding consecutive production, is executed, the expectation of the even more advantageous 16 round jackpot is higher than that of the player advantageous 7 round jackpot. It is possible to make the player pay attention to a predetermined effect after the effect.

  Returning to FIG. 3, when it is determined that it is not the end of the big hit state (NO in step S163), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is determined to execute the predetermined effect in step S164 (step S165). When it is determined that the predetermined effect is executed (YES in step S165), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether it is the execution timing of the predetermined effect (step S166).

  When it is determined that it is the execution timing of the predetermined effect (YES in step S166), the effect control CPU 101 executes the effect at the timing of the predetermined effect in the execution mode determined in step S164 (step S167). If it is determined that the predetermined effect is to be executed, the variable display before the variable display of the target is a variable display that does not reach the reach pattern even if it is a change pattern that reaches the reach state. When the effect is determined, the effect control CPU 101 changes the display result of the variable display to a predetermined chance.

  Regarding the variable display for the maximum number of pending storage after the big hit (four times in the present embodiment), the out-of-range change pattern which does not reach the reach state for the out-of-range change display other than the big hit is selected. You may make it switch to the fluctuation pattern table used.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined effect is not executed (NO in step S165), and when it is determined that it is not the execution timing of the predetermined effect (NO in step S166), the effect control CPU 101 reserves the target storage. It is determined whether it is the end of the variable display corresponding to (step S168). When it is determined that it is the end of the variable display of the target (YES in step S168), the effect control CPU 101 turns off the hold consecutive flag (step S169).

FIG. 5 is a screen transition diagram of the held continuous production on the production display device. With reference to FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), by executing step S161 of FIG. 3, the pending consecutive effect is executed during the previous big hit state. Here, a girl character is displayed, and character information indicating execution of an on-hold rendition such as "Congratulations on on-hold rendition!" Is displayed. It should be noted that the held consecutive effects may be other effects as long as the player can recognize that the held consecutive effects have been executed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, by executing step S162 of FIG. 3, the target hold display is changed to the character mode. Here, the fourth hold display is changed to the character mode.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the previous big hit ends, a screen showing that the big hit has ended is displayed. At this time, the execution mode of the predetermined effect is determined as shown in step S164 of FIG.

  Then, as shown in (C1) and (D1) of FIG. 5, when the chance eye continuous announcement effect is determined as the predetermined effect, step S166 and step S167 of FIG. In the variable display up to, the chance continual notice effect is displayed to continuously display the chance chance (display result in which the right symbol is shifted by one with respect to the jackpot symbol) as a display result.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (E1), the big hit display result is displayed as the display result corresponding to the pending storage of the target. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, since the chance continual notice effect is executed, the degree of expectation of a 16-round jackpot is high.

  Further, as shown in (C2) and (D2) of FIG. 5, when the background effect continuous advance notice effect is determined as the predetermined effect, step S166 and step S167 of FIG. In the variable display, the background effect continuous advance notice effect is displayed in which a predetermined image (here, an image showing a state of explosion) is continuously displayed as an effect of the background of the variable display.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (E2), the big hit display result is displayed as the display result corresponding to the pending storage of the target. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, since the background effect continuous advance notice effect has been executed, there is a high expectation that a 7 round jackpot will be achieved.

[Modified example of holding continuous production]
In the above-described embodiment, when the pending storage of the target that is specified to be controlled in the jackpot state is stored when the jackpot state is controlled, the pending storage of the target is stored. Is executed, the predetermined effect can be executed from the end of the big hit state in which the held continuous effect is executed to the start of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target, and is controlled in 16 round big hits. The ratio of executing the predetermined effect is different between when the jackpot is controlled and when the seven-round jackpot is controlled.

  You may apply the holding continuous production of the modification shown below as a holding continuous production and predetermined production in this embodiment mentioned above. In this modified example, the prefetching effect that is executed from the time of the previous big hit state to the variable display that becomes the big hit state later is referred to as a pending continuous effect.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a variation pattern determination table in the modified example. With reference to FIG. 6 (A), when it is determined that the variation pattern of the first to fourth variation display after the big hit end in the high probability state and the high base state is out of alignment, “non If "reach out (for non-holding series)" is decided and it is decided to make a big hit, either "holding series A big hit" or "holding series B big hit" is decided.

  “Non-reach out” is a variation pattern that results in an out-of-range display as it is in non-reach, and the variation time is 5 seconds.

  “Holding series A big hit” is a change pattern that results in a big hit display after the darkening effect and the explosion effect, and the changing time is 10 seconds. "Holding series B big hit" is a change pattern which becomes a big hit display result after reach and the battle effect is executed, and the change time is 30 seconds.

  Referring to FIG. 6B, when it is determined that the variation pattern of the variation display after the fifth big hit in the high-probability state and the high-base state is after the big hit, it is determined that “non-reach is lost”. (For non-holding series) "or" out of reach "is determined, and when it is determined to be a big hit," big hit "is determined. In the variable display after the fifth big hit, the fluctuation patterns of "holding consecutive A big hit" and "holding consecutive B big hit" are not determined.

  “Out-of-reach” is a variation pattern that results in an out-of-reach display after reaching, and the variation time is 30 seconds. The “big hit” is a variation pattern that becomes a big hit display result after reaching, and the variation time is 30 seconds.

  Note that the variation pattern table shown in FIG. 6 may be used in a state other than the high-probability state and the high base state, or another variation pattern table may be used. In addition, the battle effect may be executed as the reach effect in the fifth and subsequent variable displays after the end of the big hit.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the variation pattern for each variation pattern type is shown one by one, that is, the variation pattern type and the variation pattern have the same meaning, but the present invention is not limited to this and includes a plurality of variation patterns. There may be a variation pattern type. Further, the same effect as the variation pattern of the holding consecutive A big hit and the holding consecutive B big hit may be executed to provide a variation pattern that is out of alignment.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the pending continuous effect process in the modified example. The suspension consecutive effect process is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100. For the sake of convenience, this pending continuous production process is a collection of processes related to the pending continuous production among the processes executed in each process of the production control process process.

  With reference to FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 101 of the effect control microcomputer 100 determines whether or not a pre-reading result notification command indicating the pending consecutive A big hit or the pending consecutive B big hit has been received (step S111). When it is determined that it has been received (YES in step S111), the effect control CPU 101 turns on the holding consecutive A flag or the holding consecutive B flag, respectively.

  The effect control CPU 101 determines whether the holding continuous A flag is in the on state, that is, whether the holding continuous A effect is being executed (step S121). When it is determined that the holding continuous A flag is in the ON state (YES in step S121), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is the ending effect of the big hit (step S122). When it is determined that it is the ending effect of the big hit during the pending continuous A effect (YES in step S122), the effect control CPU 101 executes the dark effect (step S123).

  FIG. 8 is a screen transition diagram of the effect display device 9 for the holding continuous A effect in the modified example. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the effect display device 9 is executing a big hit ending effect. At this time, by performing the darkening effect in step S123 of FIG. 7, the darkening is performed from the state in which the image is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 9 as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C. To do.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not the ending effect of the big hit (NO in step S122), the effect control CPU 101 displays the variable display corresponding to the pending storage before the pending storage of the target which is the pending continuous A big hit. It is determined whether it is the start time (step S124).

  When it is determined that it is the start time of the variable display in front of the target during the pending continuous A effect (YES in step S124), the effect control CPU 101 continues the dark effect (step S125).

  Proceeding to FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 8D, the darkening effect is continued. In the lower right part of the screen, the variable display is executed with a small symbol, and the hold display is displayed only with numbers. It should be noted that, in the configuration in which the hold display light emitting means for displaying the hold number is provided outside the screen, the hold display may be omitted from the screen.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not the start time of the variable display in front of the target (NO in step S124), the effect control CPU 101 is the start time of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target that is the hold continuous A big hit. Or not (step S126).

  When it is determined that it is the start time of the variable display of the target during the suspension series A effect (YES in step S126), the effect control CPU 101 executes an effect based on the variation pattern of "suspension series A big hit" (step S127). ). After that, the effect control CPU 101 turns off the holding continuous A flag (step S128).

  Proceeding to FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 8 (E), in the variable display based on the variation pattern of the holding continuous A big hit, the darkening effect is executed at the start. In the case of FIG. 8 (E) as well, similar to FIG. 8 (D), the variable display and the hold display are displayed in the lower right part of the screen. Then, as shown in FIG. 8F, the explosion effect is executed. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8 (G), a display indicating that the big hit is confirmed is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 8 (H), an effect during the big hit similar to the normal big hit is executed.

  In this embodiment, in the variation display of the first to fourth times after the end of the big hit, the variation pattern of “holding consecutive A big hit” is determined even if there is no hold storage in the previous big hit state. In the case of holding, the effect of the holding consecutive A big hit is executed.

  FIG. 9 is a screen transition diagram of an effect similar to the effect of the continuous holding A effect when there is no pending storage in the previous big hit state in the modified example. The screen of FIG. 9 (A) is similar to the screen of FIG. 8 (A). When there is no holding memory until the ending effect of the big hit ends, or when it is determined that the start winning is lost each time there is a start winning, as shown in FIG. 8B, the variation of the non-reach deviation The variable display is performed based on the pattern, or the variable display is performed based on the out-of-reach variation pattern.

  Then, when there is a start winning and it is determined that the "held consecutive A big hit", it is in a state where the darkening effect as shown in FIGS. 8B to 8D is not executed. Also, as shown in FIGS. 9 (C) to 9 (E), the same effect as the pending consecutive A big hit as in FIGS. 8 (E) to 8 (G) is executed. After that, as in the case of FIG. 8 (H), as shown in FIG. 9 (F), an effect during the big hit similar to the normal big hit is executed.

Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that the holding continuous A flag is not on (NO in step S121), the effect control CPU 101 has the holding continuous B flag on, that is, while the holding continuous B effect is being executed. It is determined whether or not (step S131). When it is determined that the holding continuous B flag is in the ON state (YES in step S131), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is a predetermined number of rounds of the big hit (step S132). When it is determined that it is the predetermined number of rounds of the big hit in the pending series B effect (YES in step S132), the effect control CPU 101 executes the battle execution notice effect (step S133).

  FIG. 10 is a screen transition diagram of the effect display device 9 for the holding continuous B effect in the modified example. FIG. 10A shows the effect display device 9 at a predetermined number of big hits (here, the seventh round). At this time, the battle execution advance notice effect is executed in step S133 of FIG. 7, so that an image is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 9 as shown in FIG. 10 (B) and FIG. 10 (C). After the blackout from, it is displayed that the execution of the battle effect has been confirmed. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (D), a big hit ending effect is executed.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not during the predetermined number of rounds of the big hit (NO in step S132), the effect control CPU 101 changes corresponding to the hold storage before the hold storage of the target that is the hold continuous B big hit. It is determined whether or not the display is started (step S134).

  When it is determined that it is the start time of the variable display in front of the target during the pending continuous B effect (YES in step S134), the effect control CPU 101 replaces the variable pattern indicated by the variable pattern command in accordance with the lottery result. , An effect based on a variation pattern for displaying a battle effect character is executed (step S135).

  Proceeding to FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 10 (E), if the variation pattern for displaying the battle effect character is not set according to the lottery result, the variation pattern command is used in the variation display in front of the target. Variation display based on the variation pattern shown is executed.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not the start time of the variable display in front of the target (NO in step S134), the effect control CPU 101 is at the start time of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target for the hold consecutive B big hit. It is determined whether or not (step S136).

  When it is determined that it is the time to start the variable display of the target during the suspension series B effect (YES in step S136), the effect control CPU 101 executes an effect based on the variation pattern of "suspension series B big hit" (step S137). ). After that, the effect control CPU 101 turns off the holding continuous B flag (step S138).

  Proceeding to FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 10 (F), based on the variation pattern of the holding consecutive B big hit, the battle effect of the holding consecutive B big hit is executed after reaching. Finally, as shown in FIG. 10 (G), the fact that the jackpot is confirmed by the victory of the teammate character in the battle effect is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 10 (H), an effect during the big hit similar to the normal big hit is executed.

  Also, whether the probability variation big hit or the normal big hit will be notified by the battle result in the battle effect shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (G), when the player wins with a punch, it is a normal jackpot, and when the player wins with a kick, it is a probability variation jackpot. In addition, the battle defeat production may be a normal jackpot.

[Summary]
Next, effects of the above-described embodiment will be described.

(1-1) By the game control microcomputer 560, as an advantageous state, 16
It is possible to control the round jackpot and the seven-round jackpot which is more disadvantageous to the player than the 16-round jackpot. Information regarding variable display is stored in the RAM 55 of the game control microcomputer 560 as a pending storage. As shown in step S161 of FIG. 3, when the effect control microcomputer 100 controls the big hit state, the RAM 55 stores the hold storage of the target specified to be controlled to the big hit state. In this case, the continuous holding effect shown in FIG. 5 (A) for notifying that the pending storage of the target is stored can be executed.

  As shown in step S167 of FIG. 3, by the effect control microcomputer 100, from the end of the big hit state in which the hold continuous effect is executed to the start of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target, as a predetermined effect. 5C1 and 5D1 can be performed, or the background effect continuous notice effect shown in FIGS. 5C2 and 5D2 can be executed. As shown in FIG. 4, the ratio of executing the predetermined effect differs depending on whether the 16-round big hit is controlled or the 7-round big hit is controlled.

  As a result, since the expected degree of control for the 16-round big hit and the 7-round big hit varies depending on whether or not the predetermined effect is executed after the hold consecutive effect is executed, the player can be made to pay attention to the predetermined effect. . As a result, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  (1-2) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (C1), (D1), (C2), and (D2), there are a plurality of predetermined effects. As shown in FIG. 4, the ratio of executing each of the plurality of types of predetermined effects differs depending on whether the 16-round big hit is controlled or the 7-round big hit.

  As a result, the expected degree of control for the 16-round jackpot and the 7-round jackpot is different depending on the type of the predetermined effect, so that the player can pay attention to the type of the predetermined effect. As a result, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  (1-3) The effect display microcomputer 100 can display the hold display shown in FIG. 5A or the like corresponding to the hold storage stored in the RAM 55 on the effect display device 9. As shown in step S162 of FIG. 3, when the effect control microcomputer 100 executes the hold continuous effect, the hold display corresponding to the hold storage of the target is displayed as the hold display shown in FIG. The display can be changed to a hold display of the character pattern.

  As a result, when the hold consecutive effect is executed, the character symbols may be held and displayed, so that the player can pay attention to whether or not the character symbols are held and displayed. As a result, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  (1-4) By the effect control microcomputer 100, as shown in steps S166 and S167 of FIG. 3, the predetermined effect is executed from the first variable display after the jackpot state in which the pending continuous effect is executed ends. It is possible.

  As a result, the predetermined effect is executed from the beginning of the period from the end of the big hit state in which the held continuous effect is executed to the start of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target. As a result, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  (1-5) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, there are a plurality of types of predetermined effects, and FIG. 5 (C1), (D1) as a dedicated predetermined effect that can be executed only when the pending continuous effect is executed. ), And the background effect continuous advance notice effect shown in FIGS. 5C2 and 5D as a predetermined predetermined effect that can be executed even when the suspended continuous effect is not executed.

  The predetermined combined use effect is executed as a hold consecutive effect, and in addition, for example, pre-reading effect at the timing of a normal time (in the non-probability change state, low-probability low base) or a probability change state (high-probability high base). Run as.

  This allows the player to pay attention to which of the dedicated predetermined effect and the combined predetermined effect is executed. As a result, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  Also, by using a dual-purpose one, the amount of data for presentation can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the data capacity of the ROM 102 that stores the effect data, or to enhance the effect by using the reduced data capacity for storing other effect data.

  Furthermore, by giving the player an impression that a big success is expected when a predetermined combined use effect is executed as a holding continuous effect, a big hit occurs when a combined predetermined effect other than the held continuous effect is executed. The player can be expected to see a predetermined effect.

  (1-6) As shown in steps S156 and S169 of FIG. 3, the effect control microcomputer 100 causes the pending continuous flag corresponding to the jackpot type corresponding to the pending storage of the target stored in the RAM 55 to be changed, It is stored in the RAM 103. As shown in step S164 and step S167 of FIG. 3, the effect control microcomputer 100 determines the execution mode of the predetermined effect based on the holding continuous flag stored in the RAM 103, and the determined predetermined effect is determined. To be executed.

  Thereby, the execution mode of the predetermined effect is determined later on the basis of the suspension consecutive flag, so that the predetermined effect can be determined and executed according to the state of the gaming machine at the time of determination. As a result, it is possible to execute a predetermined effect according to the state of the gaming machine.

  Also, regardless of whether it is a 16-round jackpot or a 7-round jackpot, the same appearance of the held consecutive effects is executed, but the held consecutive flags are made different, and before the start of the first variable display after the big hit ends. First, the predetermined effect is determined based on the holding continuous flag. The variable display before the variable display of the target is a variable display that does not reach the reach state, and when the chance eye continuous notice presentation effect is determined as the predetermined effect, the display result of the variable display is displayed on the opportunity control side of the effect control board 80. Try to change. In this way, since the predetermined effect is determined on the side of the effect control board 80, the process is completed on the side of the effect control board 80 for the predetermined effect, so that the predetermined effect can be stably executed.

  (2-1) Among the fluctuation displays within the upper limit of the number of pending storage after the completion of the big hit state, in the big hit variation display that triggers the control of the big hit state, FIG. 8 (E) to FIG. 8 (G), FIG. 9C to 9E, in step S127 of FIG. 7, it is possible to execute the pending consecutive A big hit effect (the big hit finalizing effect from the darkening effect) based on the variation pattern of the pending consecutive A big hit. If the condition that there is a hold storage in the previously controlled big hit state is satisfied, it is held until the big hit variation display that is controlled after the control of the first big hit state is executed. It is possible to execute the blackout effect which is continued in step S125 of FIG. 7 as shown in FIG. 8 (E) to FIG. 8 (G) and FIG. 9 (C) to FIG. 9 (C) in the big hit variation display in the subsequent big hit state, regardless of whether or not the blackout effect is executed before the big hit variation display is executed. As shown in FIG. 9 (E), it is possible to execute the pending consecutive A big hit effect in step S127 of FIG.

As a result, in the big hit variation display that triggers the control of the big hit state performed from the end of the previous big hit state within the upper limit of the number of pending storage, the big hit variation display controlled from after the big hit state control It is possible to execute the pending consecutive A big hit effect regardless of whether or not the darkening effect has been executed before the execution of. As a result, it is possible to reduce the processing load because it is not necessary to replace the production, while giving a special feeling that it is a big hit state within the upper limit of the number of holding storages after the end of the previous big hit state.

  (2-2) The game control microcomputer 560 transmits a variation pattern command for controlling the progress of the game and controlling the effect. The effect of the variation pattern of the pending consecutive A big hit variation pattern executed in step S127 of FIG. 7 by the effect control microcomputer 100 is one-to-one with the command for designating the pending consecutive A big hit variation pattern shown in FIG. 6A. Correspond.

  This can reduce the processing load on the effect control microcomputer 100 side.

  (2-3) The effect mode of the darkening effect continued in step S125 of FIG. 7 as shown in FIG. 8D is the effect at the start of the suspended consecutive A big hit effect as shown in FIG. 8E. This is common with the darkening effect which is a mode.

  As a result, even if the holding continuous A big hit effect is executed without executing the darkening effect in front of the target as shown in FIG. 8D, the holding continuous A big hit effect can be executed without a sense of discomfort. it can.

  (2-4) As shown in FIGS. 8D and 8E, the common effect mode is an effect mode in which a dark image is displayed.

  As a result, even if the holding consecutive A big hit effect is executed without executing the darkening effect in front of the target as shown in FIG. 8D, the holding consecutive A big hit effect can be executed without feeling uncomfortable. You can

  (2-5) In the big hit variation display that is performed within the upper limit of the number of held memories, FIG. 10F based on the variation pattern of the hold consecutive B big hit executed in step S137 of FIG. 7 different from the hold consecutive A big hit effect. ), It is possible to execute the hold consecutive B big hit effect (battle reach effect) as shown in FIG. 10 (G). When the condition that there is a pending storage in the big hit state controlled earlier is satisfied, from during the control of the big hit state controlled earlier to when the big hit variation display controlled later is executed, It is possible to execute an effect that is different from the dark effect in the variable display in front of the target and that is based on the variation pattern that displays the character of the battle effect set according to the lottery result in step S135 of FIG.

  As a result, there are a plurality of types of effects that are performed within the upper limit of the number of held memories from the end of the previous big hit state, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved. In addition, when the holding consecutive B big hit production is executed within the upper limit of the number of held memories from the end of the previous big hit state, the production of displaying the character of the battle presentation is always executed in the variable display in front of the target. Since it is not always the case, the player can be made to pay more attention to the effect contents of the pending consecutive B big hit effect.

  (2-6) The big hit state is a state that is different from the big hit state after the big hit state and is a positive variation jackpot that is a positive variation state that is advantageous to the player, and a normal big jackpot that is a non-probability variation state after the big jackpot state. including. As the pending series B big hit effect, it is possible to execute an effect of notifying whether the probability variation big hit or the normal big hit is given by the battle result.

As a result, the player can be made to pay more attention to the effect contents of the hold consecutive B big hit effect.
[Regarding the modified example of the holding continuous production]
Next, a modified example of the suspended consecutive effects will be described. FIG. 11: is a figure which shows the aspect of the holding continuous production in a modification. 11 (a) and 11 (b) are displayed on the effect display device 9 in the ending period of the big hit in the normal time (when there is no specific hold storage that is decided to be the big hit state later in the hold storage). The example of the screen displayed is shown. On the other hand, FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d) show the effect display device 9 during the ending period of the big hit when there is a specific holding storage (holding series) which is determined to be a big hit state later in the holding storage. An example of the screen displayed is shown.

  First, referring to FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), in the ending period of the big hit in the normal time (when there is no specific pending storage decided to be the big hit state later in the pending storage), The screen displayed on the effect display device 9 will be described. FIG. 11A shows an example of a case where a display indicating the manufacturer of the gaming machine is displayed on the effect display device 9 during the ending period of the big hit. Here, a corporate logo is displayed along with a corporate slogan "Good lucky. Good life. Pachinko, good smile." In addition, FIG. 11B shows an example of a case where a display for alerting is displayed on the effect display device 9 during the ending period of the big hit. Here, an image prompting the user to remove the card is displayed together with the character information "Please be careful not to forget to remove the prepaid card or theft.", And a display is displayed to call attention to the forgetting or theft of the card. In the ending period of the big hit, one of the manufacturer display and the alert display may be executed, or both of them are displayed after displaying either one and both screens are displayed. You may do it.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 11 (c) and (d), in the ending period of the big hit when there is a specific holding storage (holding series) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the holding storage, The screen displayed on the effect display device 9 will be described. FIG. 11C is a case where there is a specific holding storage (holding series) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the holding storage, and during the ending period of the big hit, in the effect display device 9, the game is played. It shows an example of a case where a display indicating the manufacturer of the machine is displayed. Here, similar to FIG. 11A, the corporate logo is displayed with the corporate slogan “Good lucky. Good life. Pachinko, good smile.”, But unlike FIG. 11A. A fruit pattern is displayed on the background. Further, FIG. 11D shows a case where there is a specific holding storage (holding series) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the holding storage, and in the effect display device 9 during the ending period of the big hit. , Shows an example in which a display for alerting is made. Here, as in FIG. 11B, an image prompting the user to remove the card is displayed together with the text information "Please be careful not to forget or steal the prepaid card." 11 is displayed, the card pattern is displayed as a fruit pattern unlike FIG. 11B.

  In FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), the background of the manufacturer display is a fruit as a mode of notifying that there is a specific reserved memory (held series) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the reserved memory. The pattern is changed and displayed, or the card pattern, which is one component of the alert display, is changed and displayed as a fruit pattern. However, the display is not limited to this, and any other display may be used as long as the display indicates that there is a specific hold storage (holding sequence) that is determined to be in the big hit state later. For example, the displayed pattern may be a display mode other than fruit. Further, the characters themselves may be displayed in a fruit pattern. In addition, in the case where a plurality of big hit round numbers are provided, the display mode of the hold consecutive effects may be different according to the number of rounds determined by the hold consecutive.

  Further, in the above description, the timing at which the manufacturer's display and the caution display are displayed is the ending period of the big hit. However, the period related to the control of the jackpot state, which is not limited to this and is an advantageous state, may be displayed when the variable display after the jackpot is finished is triggered.

  Further, the manufacturer display shown in FIGS. 11A and 11C is not related to the progress of the game, and may be another display as long as it is a display indicating the manufacturer of the gaming machine. Further, the alert display shown in FIGS. 11B and 11D may be another display as long as it is a display not related to the progress of the game and is an alert display to the player. For example, it may be a display that prohibits go-to-action or a display that calls attention to malicious information.

  In addition, as a suspended continuous production, a first pattern capable of performing an effect such as an effect during a round and an ending effect as an end screen of a big hit, and a second pattern capable of performing an effect such as a manufacturer display and an alert display as shown in FIG. A plurality of types of patterns called patterns may be provided. Then, the continuous holding effect may be executed according to the pattern selected at a predetermined timing. In addition, you may make it carry out a holding continuous production not only once but twice or more. Further, the degree of advantage may be different depending on the execution timing and the number of times of execution of the held continuous production (whether it is a normal big hit or a probability big hit).

  Further, the above description may be applied to the slot machine as a gaming machine that can be controlled in an advantageous state advantageous to the player.

  For example, the present invention may be applied to a slot machine that displays the manufacturer and displays a warning at the timing of ending the bonus. In such a slot machine, an effect of notifying the internal lottery result is executed after the bonus ends. When the vehicle does not enter the AT, the manufacturer display and the alert display may be performed in a normal manner as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b). On the other hand, when entering the AT after the bonus ends, in order to suggest that the AT is controlled in an advantageous state, as shown in FIGS. 11C and 11D, the background of the manufacturer display is changed to a fruit pattern. It may be changed and displayed, or the pattern of the card, which is one component of the alert display, may be changed to the fruit pattern and displayed. Further, the timing at which the manufacturer display or the alert display is displayed is not limited to the end of the bonus. For example, it may be displayed on a screen displayed when the start lever as the operation means is operated or a demo screen.

  Further, what the fruit pattern suggests is that it is controlled to an advantageous state, and therefore it is not limited to the case of plunging into the AT after the end of the bonus. For example, in addition to AT, a fruit pattern may be displayed when a transition condition to a high-probability state such as bonus, ART, or rare combination is established. Further, when an AT is further won in the AT, it may be indicated by the fruit pattern at the end of the AT that the player reenters the AT after the AT ends. Further, the display of the fruit pattern may be another display as long as it indicates that the control is performed in an advantageous state. Further, as described above, the manufacturer display and the reminder display are displays that are not related to the progress of the game, and if the display shows the manufacturer of the gaming machine and the reminder display to the player, for example, a reminder to prevent intrusion It may be another display such as a display or a display regarding fraud prevention. Further, regarding the manufacturer display and the alert display, the alert display may be displayed after the manufacturer display is displayed, or only one of them may be displayed.

  As with the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine 1, the slot machine is provided with a first pattern and a second pattern as an effect in which the advantageous state is continuous, and an effect in which the advantageous state is continuous by a pattern drawn at a predetermined timing. May be executed.

Next, the effect of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 11 will be described.
(1) As shown in FIG. 11 (c), when there is a specific reserved memory (held series) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the reserved memory, the background of the manufacturer display is a fruit pattern. Change to display. Further, as shown in FIG. 11D, when there is a specific pending storage (holding sequence) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the pending storage, one component of the alert display The pattern of the card is changed to the fruit pattern and displayed. As a result, it is possible to notify that the player is controlled to be in an advantageous state, which is advantageous to the player, by changing the display mode not related to the progress of the game. As a result, it is possible to diversify the effect patterns and improve the enjoyment of the game.

  (2) When a bonus, AT, ART, or transition condition to a high-probability state is met, the background of the manufacturer's display is changed to a fruit pattern and displayed, or the card pattern that is one component of the alert display is displayed. Display it after changing to a fruit pattern. As a result, it is possible to notify that the player is controlled to be in an advantageous state, which is advantageous to the player, by changing the display mode not related to the progress of the game. As a result, it is possible to diversify the effect patterns and improve the enjoyment of the game.

  (3) As shown in FIG. 11, the effect display device can display a display not related to the progress of the game, for example, a reminder display, which can be a big hit state later in the pending storage. If there is a specific reserved storage (holding sequence) that has been determined, the display mode is changed to a fruit pattern and displayed. As a result, it is possible to give an advantageous notification to the player while alerting the player. As a result, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game while showing the player what to be careful of.

  (4) As shown in FIG. 11, on the effect display device, a display not related to the progress of the game, for example, a manufacturer display can be displayed, and it is determined that the big hit state will be held later in the pending storage. If there is a specified reserved memory (reserved series), the display mode is changed to a fruit pattern and displayed. As a result, it is possible to notify the player of the manufacturer of the game machine while giving advantageous information to the player. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game while improving the player's recognition of the manufacturer of the game machine.

[Other modifications]
Next, another modification of the above-described embodiment will be described.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined effect is provided every time a plurality of variable displays are performed from the end of the big hit state in which the held consecutive effects are executed to the execution of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target. The specified effect is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and depending on the number of times the predetermined effect is executed among a plurality of times from the end of the big hit state in which the held continuous effect is executed to the execution of the variable display corresponding to the hold storage of the target, The ratio controlled to the 16 round jackpot which is more advantageous than the round jackpot may be different. For example, the predetermined effect may be executed such that the number of times the predetermined effect is executed is larger when the 16-round big hit is controlled.

  As a result, the degree of expectation that the 16-round jackpot is controlled differs depending on the number of times the predetermined effect is executed, so that the player can be focused on the number of times the predetermined effect is executed. As a result, the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  (2) Unlike the above (1), the predetermined effect may be executed such that the number of times the predetermined effect is executed is smaller when the 16-round big hit is controlled. This allows the player to pay attention to which timing the predetermined effect is executed.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of predetermined effects are repeatedly executed in a plurality of variable displays. However, the predetermined effect is not limited to this, and may be an effect that is not repeatedly executed, such as a series of movies from the pending continuous effect. Even in this case, the ratio of executing effects such as movies may be different between when the 16-round jackpot is controlled and when the 7-round jackpot is controlled. Further, the proportion of execution of each of a plurality of types of movies and the like may be different depending on whether the 16-round jackpot is controlled or the 7-round jackpot. Also, a common movie may be set during the big hit, and only the movie in the period from the end of the big hit to the variable display of the target may be selected from a plurality of kinds of movies.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined effect is the chance opportunity continuous notice effect or the background effect continuous notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the predetermined effect may be another effect, for example, an effect continuous notice effect in which a movable accessory is continuously operated in a plurality of variable displays in addition to the effect performed by the display means. May be Further, the predetermined effect may be an effect using only a sound or a lamp.

  Further, there are a plurality of types of effects that can be executed as the predetermined effect, and some of these may be combined to execute the predetermined effect. In this case, the combined execution may have a higher expectation of a jackpot with a higher degree of advantage for the player, or the opposite, as compared with the case of executing it alone. May be. Further, when the number of combined effects is large, the degree of expectation of a jackpot having a high advantage may be higher than that when the number of effects is small, or vice versa.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A and the like, the target hold display is displayed when the holding continuous effect is executed, and the dedicated character pattern when the holding continuous effect is executed. I changed it to. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be changed to a dual-purpose symbol that is displayed even when the continuous holding effect is not executed. The pattern of the hold display to be changed may be different according to the jackpot type corresponding to the hold display of the target. In addition, the proportion of change to each of the plurality of types of symbols may be different depending on the type of jackpot corresponding to the hold display of the target.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the chance continual notice effect, which is a dedicated effect, is selected only when the 16-round big hit is the first advantageous state. In the case of a 7-round big hit, which is a second advantageous state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first advantageous state, it is not selected. That is, it is decided that the first advantageous state will be established when the dedicated predetermined effect is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be selected even when it is specified by the pending storage that the dedicated predetermined effect is in the second advantageous state.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in step S161 and step S162 of FIG. 3, when the pending consecutive flag is turned on, there is no problem (with a probability of 100%) of FIG. By executing the holding continuous effect as shown in, the target holding display is changed to the character design. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the hold consecutive flag is turned on, the hold consecutive effect is executed at a predetermined ratio (less than 100%), or the hold display is changed to a specific mode. You may do it.

Further, when the hold consecutive flag is turned on but the hold consecutive effect is not executed during the big hit state, the hold display may be changed to a specific mode at a predetermined ratio (less than 100%). . Furthermore, in such a case, the timing for changing to a specific mode may be selected from a plurality of timings. Also, the timing of changing to a specific mode may be different depending on the type of big hit of the target. For example, when the first advantageous state, which is more advantageous to the player than the second advantageous state, is set, it may be changed to a specific mode at a later timing at a higher rate than when the second advantageous state is set. The mode may be changed to a specific mode at an early timing.

  (8) In the above-described embodiment, the holding continuous effect and the predetermined effect are executed when the big hit state is specified by the holding memory. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold consecutive effect and the predetermined effect may be executed even when the big hit state is not specified by the hold storage.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, the holding consecutive A big hit effect and the holding consecutive B big hit effect are executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when there is a hold storage that is determined to be a big hit when the big hit state ends, another hold continuous effect may be executed.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, when it is determined that the holding consecutive B big hit, as shown in FIG. 10 (C), the holding consecutive B big hit in the predetermined round of the previous big hit state. The fact that the performance has been confirmed has been notified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fact that the execution of the holding continuous B big hit effect is confirmed may be notified at another timing, for example, while the ending effect in the previous big hit state is being executed. May be.

  (11) When it is determined to be the big hit for the holding series A or the big hit for the holding series B, various holding series big hit effects are executed during the previous big hit only when the target big hit after the big hit is a probability variation big hit. You may do it.

  Further, when it is determined that the pending consecutive B big hit, and if the target big hit afterwards is a probability variation big hit, it is determined by lottery whether or not to execute various pending consecutive big hit productions during the previous big hit. You may do it.

  Here, in a configuration in which the pending consecutive big hit production is executed during the first big hit only when the latter big hit is the probability big hit, and the battle loss corresponds to the normal big hit (end of probability change), If the pending consecutive big hit production is not executed, it will be informed that the teammate character will be defeated in the battle production of 4 fluctuations after the big hit ends, and the interest will be deteriorated.

  Therefore, by performing a lottery to determine whether or not to execute various types of holding consecutive big hits during the previous big hit, the holding consecutive big hit production is executed during the first big hit only when the latter big hit is a probability variation big hit, and In a configuration in which battle defeat normally corresponds to a big hit, if the battle effect is executed up to 4 changes after the big hit ends, even if the pending consecutive big hit effect is not executed during the previous big hit, Since there is a pattern in which the teammate character wins, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest.
