Based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 224, the special symbol display means 29 starts and changes the special symbol. Based on the elapse of the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern of the effect symbol selected by the pattern selection unit 224c, the variation of the special symbol is stopped at the predetermined stop symbol selected by the special stop symbol selection unit 224b. It has become.

  The jackpot game control means (specific game control means) 226 controls the execution of the jackpot game (specific game) advantageous to the player, and is based on the result of the jackpot determination / losing determination by the jackpot determination means 224a being a jackpot. When the stop symbol after the special symbol is changed by the special symbol display means 29 becomes a big hit mode (specific mode), a big hit game is executed in which the big winning means 25 is opened according to a predetermined release pattern. .

  The opening pattern of the big winning means 25 in the jackpot game is, for example, an operation of closing on condition that a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses after the opening or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls have won. (An example of a profit state advantageous to the player) is set as one round, and the round is set to be repeated a predetermined number of times with a predetermined interval interval between rounds. As shown in FIG. 23, at the start of the jackpot game, a jackpot start interval period is provided before the first round, and a remaining ball discharge time and a jackpot end interval period are provided after the end of the final round. . Note that the jackpot game is selected from a plurality of types depending on, for example, the type of jackpot mode, the type of special game state that occurs after the jackpot game ends.

  The special game state generation means 227 is for generating a special game state advantageous to the player after the jackpot game ends. For example, when the jackpot determination random number value stored in the special random number storage means 223 matches the jackpot determination value In accordance with the jackpot symbol random number value, the special game state of either the short time state or the probable variation state is generated.

  During the short time state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol display means 29 is switched to a shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time for the special symbol, and the hit probability for the normal symbol is from a normal probability (for example, 1/10) to a high probability (for example, 1/10). For example, to 1 / 1.3), the variation time is changed from a normal variation time (for example, 27 seconds) to a shortened variation time (for example, 2.7 seconds), and the opening / closing pattern of the lower start winning means 24b is a normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2). Second opening × 1 time) to a special opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds × 3 opening). The time-saving state starts after the end of the jackpot game, for example, and ends when the next jackpot game occurs or when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times).

  During the probability variation state, the number of jackpot determination values is increased from 1 to 10, for example, compared to other normal probability states, so that the probability that the special symbol is a jackpot mode is a normal probability (for example, 1/350). Is switched to a higher probability (for example, 1/35) than that, and for example, processing similar to the time-short state is also performed. For example, the probability change state starts after the end of the jackpot game, and ends when the next jackpot game occurs. However, a predetermined end condition is satisfied until the next jackpot game is started (the special symbol changes a predetermined number of times). If the winning lottery is won, etc.), it may be terminated at that time.

  The control command transmission means 228 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to a sub-control board such as the effect control board 202 by one-way communication to give a control command. Based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 224 The control board for the production control board in this order: the hold reduction command for designating the reduction of the number of special books to be reserved, the variation pattern command for designating the design symbol variation pattern, and the design designating command for designating the special design stop symbol.

With respect to the function of transmitting the hold increase command to the effect control board 202 side, the big hit game, the game ball is entered into the big winning means 25 A big winning opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game, a big winning opening command indicating the opening of the big winning means 25 (start of the round), a round ending command indicating the end of the round, a jackpot ending interval period A function for transmitting a jackpot end interval command indicating the start to the effect control board 202, a special game state generation command, a special game state according to the special game state when the special game state is generated by the special game state generation means 227 and at the end A function of transmitting an end command or the like to the effect control board 202 is provided.

  The production control board (production control means) 202 is a variety of production means such as audio output means 231 such as speakers 36a and 36b, electrical decoration means 232 arranged on the game board 5, etc., image display means 27, production button unit 44, and the like. Are provided with effect symbol control means 233, special reserved number display control means 234, operation effect control means 235, jackpot effect control means 236, and the like.

  The effect symbol control means 233 controls the display of the effect symbol display means 31 and the accompanying audio output means 231, the illumination means 232, etc., and is designated when a variation pattern command is received from the main control board 201. Based on the change pattern, the change of the effect symbol by the effect symbol display means 31 and the accompanying voice output and illumination light emission are started, and when the change stop command is received, based on the symbol designation command and the change pattern command. The stop design selected in this way is used to stop the variation of the production design, and the accompanying voice output and light emission are stopped.

  The special reserved number display control means 234 controls the display of the special reserved number display means 32, and when a new game ball is detected by the special symbol starting means 24 and a reserved increase command is received from the main control board 201, Based on the hold increase command, the hold display image X for the special hold number is displayed at a predetermined position on the display screen 27a of the image display means 27 (FIG. 2). For example, a hold decrease command is received from the main control board 201. Based on this, the number of on-hold display images X being displayed is decreased by one and shifted to the front side.

  The operation effect control means 235 controls an operation effect accompanied by an operation by the player, and includes an operation effect determination means 241, an operation guidance notification control means 242, an operation input management means 243, an operation effect control means 244, and the like. Yes. For example, when the player operates the effect button 42 in the specified operation mode within the operation valid period provided during the operation effect, for example, the operation effect is executed at a predetermined probability for each symbol variation of the special symbol and the effect symbol. For example, a predetermined operation effect is executed with a predetermined probability according to the result of the symbol variation.

  In this embodiment, it is possible to execute three types of operation effects, a first operation effect, a second operation effect, and a third operation effect, all of which are effects using a rotating body (movable body) 82. . The first operation effect is an operation effect that is performed in a state in which the rotating body 82 in the effect button 42 is in a chance mode (first mode), and the player performs the effect button within the operation effective period during the first operation effect. When 42 is operated in the designated operation mode (here, pressing once), the background color of the image display means 27 is changed to blue, for example, among the plurality of types of operation effects, and the LEDs 100a and 100b are set in a predetermined manner. “Blue background effect” in which light is emitted in a light emission mode (here, flashing blue), the background color of the image display means 27 is changed to red, and the LEDs 100a, 100b are turned on in a predetermined light emission mode (first light emission mode) (here, flashing red) ), The “red background effect” to be emitted (first effect) is executed with a predetermined probability according to the variation result of the special symbol, the type of profit state, and the like. Note that the light emission modes of the LEDs 100a and 100b may be the same for the blue background effect and the red background effect.

  The second operation effect is an operation effect that is performed in a state in which the rotating body 82 in the effect button 42 is in a lucky putt state (second mode), and the player produces an effect within the operation effective period during the second operation effect. When the button 42 is operated in a designated operation mode (here, once pressed), one type of operation effect, for example, a rotating lamp effect (second effect), depends on the variation of the special symbol, the type of profit state, etc. The program is executed with a predetermined probability. Here, the rotating lamp effect is an effect of causing the rotating body 82 in the lucky pad state to emit light in a light emitting mode (second light emitting mode) that looks similar to the rotating lamp. For example, the LED 100a in the rotating body 82 is sequentially timed in the circumferential direction. This is done by staggering and flashing.

  The third operation effect is an operation effect that is performed in a state where the rotating body 82 in the effect button 42 is in a happy state, and the player designates the effect button 42 within the operation valid period during the third operation effect. When operated with (here, press once), one kind of operation effect, for example, button vibration effect, is executed with a predetermined probability according to the variation result of the special symbol, the type of profit state, etc. ing. Here, the button vibration effect is an effect of causing the effect button 42 to vibrate by operating the vibration device 171 and causing the LEDs 100a and 100b to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode (yellow blinking here).

  In the present embodiment, for any of the first to third operation effects, “single press” in which the effect button 42 is operated only once is set as the designated operation mode. For example, the effect button 42 is continuously operated a plurality of times. The designated operation mode may be “continuous hitting”, “long press” for maintaining the state in which the effect button 42 is operated for a predetermined time or more. Of course, the designated operation mode may be different for each operation effect. Further, the designated operation mode may be determined by lottery or the like.

  The operation effect determining means 241 determines whether or not to execute the operation effect, and if so, the type of the operation effect for each symbol variation of the special symbol. For example, a variation pattern command or symbol designation command is sent from the main control board 201. 20 is configured to execute the operation effect determination process shown in FIG. That is, the operation effect determining process by the operation effect determining means 241 is executed every time the special symbol changes.

  In this operation effect determination process (FIG. 20), first, whether or not an operation effect is to be performed, and if an operation effect is to be performed, the type, that is, one of the first to third operation effects is determined by, for example, lottery ( S1). This lottery is performed based on, for example, an operation effect selection table as shown in FIG. In the operation effect selection table shown in FIG. 18, the selection rate (%) is set for each of the determination results of big hit / loss for four types of first to third operation effects and no operation effect.

  In this operation effect selection table (FIG. 18), whether or not the operation effect is performed has the same selection rate regardless of the determination result of jackpot / losing. That is, there is no difference in the degree of jackpot expectation between when the operation effect is performed and when it is not performed. In addition, the selection rate of the first operation effect is the same regardless of the determination result of jackpot / losing, whereas the selection rate of the second operation effect and the third operation effect is the first in the case of the determination of loss. Whereas the three-operation effect is higher, the second operation effect is higher in the case of jackpot determination. In other words, the jackpot expectation level (probability of jackpot game occurrence) is higher in the second operation effect than in the third operation effect.

  Note that whether or not to perform an operation effect and the type of operation effect may be determined by a method other than lottery. For example, whether or not to perform an operation effect and the type of operation effect may be set in advance for each variation pattern of the effect symbol, or the type of operation effect may be set in advance for each variation pattern of the effect symbol, Whether or not to perform the operation effect may be determined by lottery. When it is determined in S1 that the operation effect is not performed (S2: No), the operation effect determination process ends here.

  When it is determined in S1 that the operation effect is to be performed (S2: Yes), the drive control of the rotation drive unit 81 is performed to move the rotating body 82 to a position corresponding to the type of the operation effect (S3). . That is, in the case of the first operation effect, the rotating body 82 is in the chance mode, in the case of the second operation effect, the rotating body 82 is in the lucky state, and in the case of the third operation effect, the rotation is performed. The body 82 is controlled so as to be in a happy mode. The drive control of the rotation drive unit 81 is performed by operating the rotation drive unit 81 in a predetermined direction by a predetermined number of steps with reference to the state where the rotating body 82 is at a predetermined origin position. When performing the process of S3, it is desirable to first confirm that the rotating body 82 is at the origin position or to perform origin position confirmation processing for returning to the origin position.

  In the present embodiment, the origin position of the rotating body 82 is determined by rotating the driving means 81 in a predetermined direction. When the origin position detecting means 133 is switched from OFF to ON, the rotation driving means is further rotated by a predetermined step in the predetermined direction. It is assumed that 81 is activated. Therefore, the origin position confirmation process can be performed by the following procedure, for example. That is, first, it is determined whether or not the origin position detection means 133 is ON. If it is ON, the rotation drive means 81 is operated in the anti-predetermined direction until it is OFF, and conversely, the predetermined step in the predetermined direction. In the case where the rotation drive means 81 is operated only and the origin position detection means 133 is OFF, the rotation drive means 81 is operated in a predetermined direction until it is turned ON, and then the rotation drive means in a predetermined direction by a predetermined step. 81 may be operated. In the present embodiment, the state where the rotating body 82 is in the chance mode is set as the origin position. Therefore, when the first operation effect is selected in S1, only the origin position confirmation process needs to be performed in S3.

  Subsequent to S3, it is determined whether or not the specific position detecting means 134 is ON (S4). In the present embodiment, the specific position detecting unit 134 is set so as to detect and detect the detected portion 98 when the rotating body 82 is within a specific range including the lucky path (specific position). When it is determined in S4 that the specific position detection unit 134 is ON (S4: Yes), for example, a determination result of big hit / loss is determined (S5). If it is determined in S5 that it is not a big hit (S5: No), the LED operation flag is set to 0 (S6), and otherwise, the LED operation flag is set to 1 (S7).

  Note that when the rotation driving unit 81 and the like are operating normally, it is determined that the specific position detection unit 134 is ON in S4 only in the second operation effect, but the rotation driving unit 81 For example, when there is an abnormality in the first operation effect and the third operation effect, it may be determined in S4 that the specific position detection unit 134 is ON.

  Further, depending on the type of operation effect (S8), the presence / absence, content, etc. of the operation effect are determined (S9 to S20). If it is determined in S8 that the operation is the first operation effect, for example, based on the first operation effect selection table as shown in FIG. 19A, for example, the type of operation effect (here, blue background effect or red Background effect) is determined (S9). In the first operation effect selection table (FIG. 19 (a)), each operation time effect (here, the blue background effect or the red background effect) is a big hit and a probable change occurrence (hereinafter referred to as a probable change big win), a big win and a short time. A selection rate (%) is set for each occurrence of a state (hereinafter referred to as a time bonus) and each determination result (a lottery result regarding occurrence of a profit state).

  In the first operation effect selection table shown in FIG. 19A, the blue background effect has a higher selection rate than the red background effect in the case of detachment, but conversely than the blue background effect in the case of a big hit. The selection ratio is also higher for the red background production. That is, in the first operation effect, the expectation of jackpot is higher when the red background effect is performed than when the blue background effect is performed during the player's operation. In addition, the selection ratio of the red background effect is higher in the case of the probability variation jackpot than in the case of the time bonus. In other words, in the first operation effect, the probability change probability is higher when the red background effect is a big hit than when the blue background effect is performed during the player's operation.

  When the red background effect is selected in S9 (S10: Yes), “1” corresponding to the red background effect is set in the first operation effect flag (S11), and the blue background effect is selected. In this case (S10: No), “0” corresponding to the blue background effect is set in the first operation effect flag (S12).

  If it is determined in S8 that the operation effect is the second operation effect, for example, the presence or absence of the operation effect is determined based on the second operation effect selection table as shown in FIG. 19B, for example (S13). In the second operation effect selection table (FIG. 19 (b)), whether or not an operation time effect (in this case, a rotating light effect) is performed when a player's operation is performed, each of probable big hit, short time hit, and off A selection rate (%) is set for each determination result.

  In the second operation effect selection table shown in FIG. 19B, the selection rate with the operation effect is 0% in the case of detachment, so that the rotating lamp effect is generated when the player operates in the second operation effect. If done, it will be a big hit. In other words, there is no case where a revolving lamp effect is performed when it becomes out of place. Note that there is no difference in the selection rate for the presence or absence of an operation-time effect between the case of a probable big hit and the case of a time bonus, and accordingly, when the operation-time effect is performed during the player's operation in the second operation effect. There is no difference in the expected change in the case of a big hit.

  Then, when “with operation effect” is selected in S13 (S14: Yes), “1” corresponding to “with operation effect” is set in the second operation effect flag (S15), and there is no operation effect. When it is selected (S14: No), “0” corresponding to no operation effect is set in the second operation effect flag (S16).

  If it is determined in S8 that it is the third operation effect, for example, the presence / absence of the operation effect is determined based on the third operation effect selection table as shown in FIG. 19C, for example (S17). In the third operation effect selection table (FIG. 19 (c)), whether or not an operation time effect (button vibration effect in this case) is performed when a player's operation is performed, each of probability variation big hit, time short hit and off A selection rate (%) is set for each determination result.

  In the third operation effect selection table shown in FIG. 19C, in the case of detachment, the selection rate is higher when there is no operation effect than when there is an operation effect. In addition, in the case of a promising big hit, the selection rate with an effect at the time of operation is 100%, whereas in the case of a time bonus, the selection rate without an effect at the time of operation is 100%. That is, in the third operation effect, if the operation effect is performed at the time of the player's operation, if it is a big hit, it is determined that it is a probable big hit.

  Then, if “with operation effect” is selected in S17 (S18: Yes), “1” corresponding to “with operation effect” is set in the third operation effect flag (S19), and there is no operation effect. If it is selected (S18: No), “0” corresponding to no operation effect is set in the third operation effect flag (S20).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the operation-time effect with the specific position detection unit 134 being ON, that is, the rotating lamp effect is performed only in the case of a big hit (see FIG. 19). The specific position detecting means 134 will not be turned on in the case of detachment, but for example, if the specific position detecting means 134 is turned on despite being out of position due to an abnormality of the rotation driving means 81, the LED is operated. The flag is set to 0 (S6).

  The operation guide notification control means 242 performs control related to the operation guide notification for prompting the player to operate the effect button 42. The operation guide notification control process shown in FIG. In this case, the program is executed at intervals of 4 ms.

  In this operation guidance notification control process (FIG. 21), it is first determined whether or not the operation is valid (S21). If it is determined that the operation effective period is not in effect (S21: No), it is determined whether or not the operation effective period start timing has arrived (S22), and it is determined that the operation effective period start timing has arrived. On the condition that it is done (S22: Yes), for example, the operation guidance notification by displaying the operation guidance image by the operation guidance display means 33 is started (S23). Here, the operation guide image is configured by an animation image or the like representing the pressing operation of the effect button 42, for example. At this time, operation guidance notification other than display of the operation guidance image, for example, operation guidance notification by light emission of the LED 100a or the like may be performed together. However, in this case, it is desirable that the light emission mode of the LED 100a and the like is clearly different from the light emission mode in the case of the rotating lamp effect. In the present embodiment, the light emission mode of the LED 100a and the like at the time of operation guidance notification is set to continuous lighting.

  If it is determined in S21 that the operation effective period is in effect (S21: Yes), whether the operation effective period has expired, that is, a predetermined operation effective time has elapsed since the start of the operation effective period. It is determined whether or not (S24). If the operation valid period has not yet expired (S24: No), and it has not been determined that the operation has been successful by the operation input management means 243 (S25: No), the operation guidance display means 33 and the like are used. The operation guidance notification is continued as it is (S26).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S24 that the operation valid period has expired (S24: Yes), the operation guidance notification by the operation guidance display means 33 or the like ends at that time (S27). Even if it is determined that the operation valid period has not yet expired in S24 (S24: No), if it is determined that the operation is successful by the operation input management unit 243 described later (S25: Yes). At that time, the operation guidance notification ends (S27).

  The operation input management means 243 manages the operation status of the effect button 42 during the operation effective period, and monitors the operation status of the effect button 42 based on the detection signal from the operation detection means 153, and during the operation effective period. When the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode (here, pressed once), it is determined that the operation is successful.

  The operation effect control means 244 controls the operation effect when the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode during the operation valid period. The operation effect control process shown in FIG. It is executed at predetermined time intervals (here, 4 ms intervals).

  In this operational effect control process (FIG. 22), it is first determined whether or not the operation input management means 243 determines that the operation is successful (S31). If it is not determined that the operation is successful (S31: No), The operation effect control process ends. When it is determined that the operation is successful (S31: Yes), the following processing is performed according to the type of operation effect.

  First, when the type of operation effect (S32) is the first operation effect, the value of the first operation effect flag is determined (S33). If the value of the first operation effect flag is 0, the blue background effect (S35). ) Is performed. Here, the blue background effect is to change the background color of the image display means 27 to blue and to blink the LEDs 100a and 100b in blue, but when the LED operation flag is determined to be 0 in S34, that is, When the specific position detecting means 134 is ON despite being out of order due to an abnormality of the rotation driving means 81, the LED does not operate exceptionally, and the background color of the image display means 27 is changed to blue. Only the change is made (S36). This is because a rotating lamp effect is performed if the LED 100a, 100b is caused to emit light in a state where the rotating body 82, which should originally be in the chance mode, is in a lucky path mode or a position close to it due to an abnormality of the rotation driving means 81 or the like. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, there is a possibility that the player may misunderstand the player and, as a result, unnecessary trouble may occur with the game hall due to not being a big hit. is there.

  On the other hand, if the value of the first operation effect flag is 1 in S33, a red background effect is performed (S38). Here, the red background effect is to change the background color of the image display means 27 to red and blink the LEDs 100a and 100b in red, but when the LED operation flag is determined to be 0 in S37, that is, When the specific position detecting means 134 is ON despite being out of order due to an abnormality of the rotation driving means 81, the LED is not operated exceptionally as in the case of the blue background effect, and the image display means Only the 27 background color is changed to red (S39).

  Further, when the type of operation effect (S32) is the second operation effect, the value of the second operation effect flag is determined (S40), and the rotating lamp is provided on condition that the value of the second operation effect flag is 1. An effect (operation effect) is performed (S41), and the operation effect control process ends. In the second operation effect, as shown in FIG. 19B, the rotating lamp effect (operation effect) is performed only in the case of a jackpot, so when the rotating light effect is performed in the second operation effect. Is a big hit.

  If the type of operation effect (S32) is the third operation effect, the value of the third operation effect flag is determined (S42). If the value of the third operation effect flag is 1, the button vibration effect (operation Hour effect) is performed (S44). Here, the button vibration effect is to vibrate the effect button 42 by the operation of the vibration device 171 and blink the LEDs 100a and 100b in yellow, but when the LED operation flag is determined to be 0 in S43, that is, When the specific position detecting unit 134 is ON despite being out of order due to an abnormality of the rotation driving unit 81, the LED does not operate exceptionally as in the case of the first operation effect, and the effect button Only the vibration of 42 is performed (S45).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when there is a detection by the specific position detection means 134 even though the determination result of the jackpot is not obtained, it is controlled not to perform the light emission effect by the LED 100a or the like. Even if the rotating body 82 does not operate as instructed due to a malfunction of the rotation driving means 81, the player does not have an excessive expectation that the jackpot has been confirmed, and there is no use between the game hall. Trouble can be prevented.

  The jackpot effect control means 236 controls effects related to the jackpot game, and displays an image based on a jackpot start command, a jackpot opening command, a round end command, a jackpot end interval command, etc. transmitted from the main control board 201. The jackpot effect display means 33a of the means 27 displays the progress status of the round during the jackpot game and the jackpot effect image corresponding to the progress status of the round, and the sound output means 231 outputs the sound effect corresponding to the jackpot effect image. The illumination means 232 (excluding the LEDs 100a and 100b) emits light in an arbitrary light emission mode. For example, in the case of a 16-round jackpot game shown in FIG. 23, a predetermined opening effect image is displayed during the jackpot start interval, and a normal effect image such as a battle effect image is displayed from the first round to the final 16th round. During the discharge time and end interval period, a predetermined ending effect image is displayed by the jackpot effect display means 33a.

  Further, when the operation effect is executed before the start of the jackpot game, and the operation effect by the rotating body 82 is performed in the operation effect, at least the jackpot round ends after the effect by the rotating body 82 starts the jackpot game. It will continue until you do.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 23, when the second operation effect is performed during the big symbol variation as shown in FIG. 23, the rotating body 82 is started at (or before) a predetermined operation effective period (second operation effective period). Changes from a chance mode (first mode) to a lucky putt mode (second mode), and operation guidance notification is started by displaying an operation guidance image, continuously lighting the LEDs 100a and 100b (t1 in FIG. 23). Then, when the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode (here, pressed once) during the operation effective period (t2 in FIG. 23), for example, the operation effective period ends at that time, and at a predetermined probability. A revolving lamp effect (operation effect), that is, an effect (second effect) of rotating and blinking the LEDs 100a and 100b (second light emission mode) while the rotator 82 is in a lucky putt state (second mode) is started.

The rotating lamp effect (second effect) by the rotating body 82 is continued as it is after the big hit game ( second specific game) is started (t3 in FIG. 23). Then, after the final sixteenth round is finished, for example, at the start of the jackpot end interval period, the rotating lamp effect ends (t4 in FIG. 23), and the rotating body 82 changes from the lucky putt mode (second mode) to the chance mode (first mode). Return to 1 mode).

  Note that, for example, when the rotating lamp effect (effect during operation) is not performed even though the effect button 42 is operated in the specified operation mode during the operation effective period, as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. At that time (t2 in FIG. 23), the LEDs 100a and 100b are turned off, and the rotating body 82 is returned from the lucky pad state to the chance state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24, when the third operation effect is performed during the symbol variation that is a big hit, the control is performed in the same manner as in the case of the second operation effect. That is, the rotating body 82 changes from the chance mode to the happy mode at the start (or earlier) of the predetermined operation effective period, and the operation guide notification is displayed by displaying the operation guide image, continuously lighting the LEDs 100a and 100b, and the like. This is started (t11 in FIG. 24). Then, when the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode (here, pressed once) during the operation valid period (t12 in FIG. 24), the button vibration effect (operation effect), that is, the rotating body with a predetermined probability. The effect of causing the effect button 42 to vibrate while the state 82 is in a happy state and causing the LEDs 100a and 100b to blink yellow is started. Then, the button vibration effect continues after the jackpot game starts (t13 in FIG. 24) until at least the final 16th round ends, and then ends at the start of the jackpot end interval period (see FIG. 24). t14) At that time, the rotating body 82 returns from the happy mode to the chance mode (origin position). Of the button vibration effects, the yellow flashing by the LEDs 100a and 100b continues during the jackpot game, but the vibration of the effect button 42 may end at a predetermined timing such as the start of the jackpot game, You may continue as it is.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 25, when the first operation effect is performed during symbol variation that is a big hit, for example, the following control is performed. That is, in the case of the first operation effect, the rotating body 82 is performed in a state of chance that is the origin position, and therefore, at the start of the operation effective period (t21 in FIG. 25), the rotating body 82 While maintaining the chance mode (first mode), the operation guide notification is started by displaying the operation guide image, continuously lighting the LEDs 100a and 100b, and the like. Then, when the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode (pressed once here) during the operation valid period (t22 in FIG. 25), either the blue background effect or the red background effect is generated with a predetermined probability. For example, a blue background effect (first effect) is started in which the background color of the image display means 27 is changed to blue and the LEDs 100a and 100b blink in blue (first light emission mode). The blue background effect continues after the jackpot game (the first specific effect) starts (t23 in FIG. 25) until at least the final 16th round ends, for example, at the start of the jackpot end interval period. Although the process ends (t24 in FIG. 25), since the rotating body 82 is already held in the chance mode that is the origin position, the rotation position is maintained as it is. Of the blue background effects, the blue flashing by the LEDs 100a and 100b continues during the jackpot game, but the blue background processing of the image display means 27 may end at a predetermined timing such as the start of the jackpot game. You may continue as it is.

  Also, for example, in the case of the second and third operation effects performed during the symbol change that is out of the way, the rotating body when the operation effect such as the rotating lamp effect ends, that is, when the symbol change ends, for example. 82 may be returned to the chance mode (origin position).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the pachinko machine can be changed into a plurality of modes including a chance mode (first mode) and a lucky pad mode (second mode), and is normally held in the chance mode. The game includes a rotating body (movable body) 82, and the jackpot game (specific game) is a first jackpot game (first specified game) that is started when the rotating body 82 is in the chance mode, and the rotary body 82 is in a lucky putt mode. Including the second jackpot game (second specific game) started after the change, and during the first jackpot game, the rotating body 82 performs a blue background effect or a red background effect (first effect) in a state of chance. However, during the second jackpot game, the rotator 82 is configured to execute the rotating lamp effect (second effect) in a lucky pat state, so the rotator 82 is also used during the jackpot game. Ri it is possible to perform an effective director.

  FIG. 26 exemplifies the second embodiment of the present invention, and even when the operation effect during the jackpot symbol variation is not executed, the rotation in the state of the operation effect is performed during the subsequent jackpot game. An example in which an effect is performed by a body 82 is shown.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26, when the second operation effect is performed during the symbol variation that is a big hit, the rotating body 82 is changed from the chance mode to the lucky path mode at the start (or before) of the predetermined operation effective period. The operation guidance notification is started by displaying the operation guidance image and continuously lighting the LEDs 100a and 100b (t31 in FIG. 26). Then, when the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode (here, pressed once) during the operation effective period (t32 in FIG. 26), for example, the revolving light effect has an 80% probability (FIG. 19B). (Operation time effect) is performed, but in the case of the remaining 20%, the rotating lamp effect is not performed.

  In the case of the present embodiment, even if the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode during the operation effective period, the rotating body 82 is not in the lucky state even when the rotating lamp effect (operation effect) is not performed. When the big hit game is started thereafter (t33 in FIG. 26), the LED 100a, 100b is rotated while the rotary body 82 is in the lucky state, for example, the same effect as the rotary lamp effect. A flashing effect is performed. Then, after the final 16th round is completed, the effect ends, for example, at the start of the jackpot end interval period (t34 in FIG. 26), and the rotating body 82 returns from the lucky putt mode to the chance mode (origin position).

  In addition, when the effect button 42 is operated in the designated operation mode during the operation valid period, the rotating lamp effect (effect during operation) is not performed, and further, the symbol changes, for example, the symbol What is necessary is just to return the rotary body 82 to the chance mode (origin position) from the lucky path mode at the end of the fluctuation.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, the movable body is not limited to the rotating body, and may be changed to a plurality of modes by an arbitrary operation. In addition, the movable body is not limited to the case where the movable body is disposed within the effect button (operation means), but is disposed at an arbitrary position such as the vicinity of the operation means such as the effect button, the front side of the game board, or the front side of the inner frame 4. Is possible.

  The timing to return the movable body to the origin position after the performance during the jackpot game is not limited to the start of the jackpot end interval period, but during the jackpot end interval period, during the remaining ball discharge period, etc., for example, after the end of the final round, the jackpot end interval What is necessary is just to carry out at arbitrary timings until the end of the period.

  Further, the present invention can be similarly implemented in game machines other than ball game machines such as slot machines, in addition to various ball game machines such as arrange ball machines and sparrow ball game machines.
