Moreover, "temporary stop" of the decoration is a state where the decoration displayed so as to stay at the effective stop position in each of the symbol rows L, C, R is not stopped continuously for the special figure fluctuation interval time . That is, the temporary stop of the decoration drawing includes the state in which the decoration drawing is displayed in the fluctuation state at the effective stop position, and the state in which the stop display is performed in a shorter time than the special drawing fluctuation interval time.

  Here, in the first special view display unit 50A and the effect display unit 17, the first special view change display and the symbol change presentation relating to the first special view change display are started, and the special view 1 and the decoration view are determined stop display Is done. Similarly, in the second special view display unit 50B and the effect display unit 17, the second special view change display and the symbol change presentation relating to the second special view change display are started, and the special view 2 and the decoration view are determined stop display Is done. In the case where the special view variation display is not simultaneously performed in the first and second special view display units 50A and 50B, and the special view variation display is performed in one of the special view display units 50A and 50B, The first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 60c is held and stored.

  In the effect display unit 17 according to the embodiment, ten kinds of numbers “0” to “9” are set as basic decoration drawings for each symbol row L, C, R, and the basic decoration drawings It is designed to be variably displayed in order with the symbol rows L, C, R. In the embodiment, "J" is set in the middle symbol row C as a special decoration figure (special symbol) separately from the above-mentioned 10 types of basic decoration figures. In addition, as a decoration figure, it is not restricted to this, and it is set as the form which a player can distinguish and distinguish each decoration figure like arbitrary numbers, characters, patterns, etc.

  And the decoration drawing of each symbol row L, C, R displayed in a definite stop at the effective stop position (stop symbol effective line) of each symbol row L, C, R in the effect display unit 17 is a symbol combination of a hit. If you do, you will be able to figure out that a hit game will be awarded. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, "222", "777", etc.) in which the same decoration figure is fixedly displayed at the effective stop position of each symbol row is set as the symbol combination per special drawing. There is. The symbol combination of the decoration that can recognize the special image is displayed on the special image displayed on the effect display unit 17, and the second special winning portion 36 is opened and closed in the opening / closing operation condition advantageous to the player after the symbol variation effect is finished. A game is given to open and close. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the rows displayed in a fixed stop position at the effective stop position of the effect display unit 17 are different even by one, the symbol combination (for example, "123", "734", "171", etc.) From the above, it can be recognized that, in principle, a hit game is not provided. The symbol combination of the decoration that can recognize the disappointing is the disappointing display of the effect display unit 17.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row L and the right symbol row R) among a plurality of symbol rows, and the remaining symbol rows (implemented) In the example, the player can recognize that the reach has been generated by the display (reach display) in which the middle symbol row C) is variably displayed. A specific example of reach display is a symbol combination (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row L and the right symbol row R. Note that “「 ”indicates that it is in motion. In addition, the decorations of the specific symbol rows (left symbol row L and right symbol row R) that form the reach display are temporarily stopped, and the decoration symbols are stopped in the remaining symbol rows (middle symbol row C). After the display (temporary stop display), the decorations of all the symbol sequences are displayed in a fixed stop display.

  The effect display unit 17 displays a symbol combination of decorations corresponding to the displayed special figure as a result of the special figure variation display on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B. That is, the special figure displayed on the first special figure display part 50A and the second special figure display part 50B and the symbol combination of the decorative picture displayed on the effect display part 17 correspond to each other, and the symbol variation effect is provided. When the process is completed, the special figure is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B, and the decoration figure is confirmed and stopped on each of the symbol rows L, C, and R of the effect display unit 17. It is supposed to be. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol. There is.

(About a definite change state)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the winning game ends. Here, as the first bonus game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening 33a, 36a is a state where it increases compared to the state where the first bonus game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first bonus game state, it is possible to increase the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening 33a, 36a by changing the probability of winning the determination per special drawing from low probability to high probability . In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  Probability change function is determined per special figure after the winning game is completed, provided that the type of special figure (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) displayed in the fixed stop state is a predetermined probability variation (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability of hitting determination result (hit probability) varies from a low probability (2521/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (2522/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state in which a definite change state is not given is referred to as a non-positive change state. A hit is a hit when a special change is given after the end of the hit game, and a hit when a give is not given is a hit. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability that the determination per special figure will be a hit determination result fluctuates with high probability, and the winning game is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, A player is playing a game expecting to be a chance hit. In the embodiment, in the case of a winning game to which a probability variation state is given, the probability variation state is continuously given until the predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) is executed after the winning game is finished. Is done. In the embodiment, after the end of the winning game, it is set that the probability change state is continuously provided until the symbol change effect (special figure change display) is executed 65 times. In addition, as a period when a definite change state is provided, it is not restricted to said thing. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the winning game is generated. Also, whether to shift to the uncertain change state every time the symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning part (falling lottery) It is also possible to shift to the non-deterministic state on condition of winning.

  Here, as described later, when a definite change state is given after the end of the hit game, "1" is set to the definite change flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and no definite change state is given. The probability variation flag is set to “0”. Further, the number of definite variations is set in the fixed variation number counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the value of the counter is decremented by 1 for each of the symbol variation effects (every special figure variation display) to "0". When it becomes, the probability variation flag is set to “0”.

(About the change state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing a second bonus game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the end of the hit game. Here, as the second bonus game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 28a is increased compared to the state (first game state) in which the second bonus game state is not provided. It is easy to win (becomes easy to win). Specifically, in the second bonus game state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the spread map fluctuation display, (2) changing the probability per spread map from low to high probability, (3) once per spread map By increasing the opening time of the start opening / closing member 29 for opening the second start winning opening 28a, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 28a can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. When increasing the opening time of the start opening / closing member 29 for opening the second start winning opening 28a per one common drawing, the opening time of the start opening / closing member 29 may be simply extended, or This can be realized by increasing the number of times the start opening / closing member 29 is opened, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second bonus game state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state of the embodiment is set by combining the above (1) to (3). In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state of the embodiment is a specific gaming state in which the second start winning portion 28 is opened and closed under an opening / closing control condition advantageous to the player.

  In the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation display performed by the common drawing display unit 55 in the non-shortening state is set to 2000 ms, and the fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation display performed by the common drawing display unit 55 in the short state The time is set to 240 ms, which is shorter than the non-changeable state, and the change time of the common view change display performed in the common view display unit 55 is shortened along with the application of the change short state. In addition, the probability per base figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (in the embodiment, 1/65536), and the probability per base figure in the variable state is set to a high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). It is set, and the probability per universal figure varies from a low probability to a high probability with the provision of the variable state. In the embodiment, 500 ms is set until the next common spread fluctuation is performed (the common spread fluctuation interval) after the display of the common spread is determined and stopped.

  Further, in the state where the variable short state is applied, the start opening / closing member 29 is opened and closed in an operation pattern different from the state where the variable short state is not applied. Specifically, in a state in which the variation state is not given, if the symbol 1 is won with the symbol 1 in the symbol variation display (in the case of the symbol), the predetermined time after the start opening / closing member 29 is opened The opening operation to maintain the open state until the lapse of 300 ms (in the embodiment) is performed once, and the start-up opening / closing member 29 is selected when the symbol 2 is won in the symbol drawing An opening operation is performed once to maintain the open state until a predetermined time (320 ms in the embodiment) elapses after opening. On the other hand, in the state where the fluctuation state is given, when the symbol 1 per common drawing and the symbol 2 per common drawing are won in the common drawing fluctuation display (when per common drawing), the start opening / closing member 29 is opened After that, the opening operation for maintaining the open state until the predetermined time has elapsed is performed three times. In the example, when the symbol 1 is won in a state where the variation state is given, the first opening time is 1520 ms, the second opening time is 1780 ms, and the third opening time is 2040 ms. Each opening time is common to 1780 ms when it is elected with the symbol 2 per common figure while being set to be respectively different. That is, in the state in which the variable short state is applied, the total opening time of the start opening / closing member 29 is set longer than the state in which the variable short state is not applied, so as to operate advantageously for the player There is. It should be noted that the upper limit number of prizes (10 in the embodiment) is set to allow winning in the second starting winning opening 28a per one common drawing, and the number of winnings from opening the opening / closing member 29. When it reaches the winning upper limit number (closing condition), the starting opening and closing member 29 is closed.

  In the embodiment, it is configured to determine whether or not the variable state is given after the game according to the game state at the time of winning the special figure determination and the type of special figure (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2). Has been. In other words, as a grant condition for granting a variable state (specific game state), the combination of the game state and the type of symbol per special figure (per game) at the time of winning the judgment per special figure is a symbol per special figure (per game) It is determined for each time, and the fluctuation state is given after the hitting game by the satisfaction of any giving condition. That is, the number of times of variation (the number of times of variation) as the provision period for applying the variation state is determined for each of the provision conditions of the variation state which is established. In addition, the combination of types of gaming state and special pattern (per game) which become the granting conditions for granting the fluctuation state, and the number of times of deformation for each granting condition will be described later in relation to the explanation of the winning game. .

  Here, as described later, when the variable state is given after the end of the hit game, “1” is set to the variable flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c and the variable state is given. If not, the variable short flag is set to "0". Further, the number of times of change is set in a change number of times counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c. When it becomes “,” the variable short flag is set to “0”.

(About per game)
Next, the winning game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The hit game is awarded after the symbol is displayed on the first special view display unit 50A or the second special view display unit 50B as a result of the special view change display as the result of the special view change display (the end of the symbol change presentation is ended) The special opening and closing members 34 and 37 of the special winning portions 33 and 36 are opened and closed in accordance with the type of the winning game (special symbol special symbol). That is, the hit game is started after the symbol is displayed on the special view display unit 50A, 50B as a result of the special view change display being stopped and displayed, and is performed after the opening effect indicating the start of the hit game and the end of the opening effect It is comprised by the round game repeated on both sides of the interval time between rounds by the prescription | regulation number of rounds (2 rounds in the Example), and the ending effect which shows completion | finish of a hit game. One round game is ended by the specified number (for example, eight) of pachinko balls winning in the special winning opening 33a, 36a or the specified time (round game time) elapses from the start of each round game Do. During the inter-round interval time, the special opening and closing members 34 and 37 are held closed.

  Here, the opening operation of the special opening / closing members 34, 37 of the special winning portions 33, 36 in each round game of the hit game is continuous with pachinko balls at a predetermined firing interval (every 0.6 seconds in the embodiment) A long-time opening operation in which the specified number of pachinko balls determined in the round game are kept open for a time that can be won in one opening operation (operation from opening to closing) under the fired condition, and the opening operation; The special opening and closing members 34 and 37 may be configured to be configured by any of the short time opening operations in which the opening time of the special opening and closing members 34 and 37 is set shorter than the long time opening operation. Can. The short-time release operation is set to a time (for example, 40 milliseconds) in which the pachinko ball is substantially impossible to win in one release operation under the condition that the pachinko ball is continuously fired at a predetermined firing interval. Or, even if it is the opening time in which the pachinko balls can win, the predetermined number of pachinko balls can be set to a time (for example, 1 second) that is virtually impossible. In the embodiment, only one of the long opening operation and the short opening operation is set in each round game. It is also possible to set so as to perform a long time opening operation or a short time opening operation a plurality of times in one round game.

(About the type of hit game)

The awarding period of is set to be different depending on the gaming state (non-shortening state and shorting state) at the time the symbol B (second hitting game) and the symbol C (third hitting game) are determined Yes. Specifically, it is determined that one of the symbol B (second hit game) and the symbol C (third hit game) is determined along with the special drawing hit determination in which the gaming state is performed in the non-shortening state. It is set as a short state grant condition, and 25 times is set as a grant state grant period (number of times of change) given when the grant condition is satisfied. In addition, it is in a state of being short that either of the symbol B (second hit game) or the symbol C (third hit game) is determined along with the special drawing hit determination that the gaming state is performed in the shorted state. 65 times is set as the granting period (number of times of change) of the variable state that is set as the grant condition and is given when the grant condition is satisfied.

  In addition, the opening effect time in which the opening effects in the second and third winning games are executed and the ending effect time in which the ending effects are executed are symbol B (second winning game) and symbol C (third winning game). It is set to be different depending on the gaming state (non-shortening state and shorting state) when the game is determined. Specifically, when the game state at the time when the symbol B (second winning game) and the symbol C (third winning game) are determined is the non-changeable state, the opening effect time is “3.0. (Seconds) is set, and "35.0 (seconds)" is set as the ending effect time. In addition, when the game state at the time when the symbol B (second winning game) and the symbol C (third winning game) are determined is the variable state, the opening effect time is “8.0 (seconds)”. Is set, and "5.0 (seconds)" is set as the ending effect time.

(About the fourth hit game)
In the fourth hit game corresponding to the symbol D, the symbol D (fourth hit game) is determined as the awarding period of the variable state awarded when the symbol D (fourth hit game) is determined. It is set to be different depending on the gaming state (non-shortened state and variable shorted state) at the time of being played. Specifically, it is set as a provision condition of the variable state that the symbol D (the fourth hit game) is determined along with the special image per-game determination in which the gaming state is performed in the non-shortened state. Twenty-five times are set as the provision period (the number of times of variation) of the variation state to be applied upon establishment. In addition, it is set as a provision condition of the variable state that the symbol D (the fourth hit game) is determined along with the special image per game determination performed in the variable state, and the game state is set, and along with the establishment of the applicable condition. 65 times are set as the provision period (number of times of variation) of the variation state to be given.

  In addition, the opening effect time when the opening effect in the fourth hit game is executed and the ending effect time when the ending effect is executed are the gaming state (not changed) when the symbol D (the fourth hit game) is determined Are set differently depending on the short state and the variable state). Specifically, when the gaming state at the time the symbol D (the fourth hit game) is determined is the non-shortening state, "3.0 (seconds)" is set as the opening effect time, and the ending effect "5.0 (seconds)" is set as the time. In addition, when the game state at the time the symbol D (the fourth hit game) is determined is in a variable state, "8.0 (seconds)" is set as the opening effect time, and "ending effect time" "5.0 (seconds)" is set. That is, in the fourth hit game, when the special figure is won in the non-shortening state, the hit game is determined among the second to fourth hit games in which 25 times are set as the number of times of variation. The ending effect time is set as the shortest hit game when the gaming state at the time point is in the non-shortening state. In other words, the second and third hit games are hit in the second to fourth hit games where 25 times are set as the number of times of variation when the special figure is won in the non-variable state. The ending effect time is set as the longest hit game when the gaming state at the time when is determined to be non-shortening state.

(About the fifth hit game)
The fifth winning game corresponding to the symbol E is determined by the symbol E (the fifth winning game) for the granting period of the variable state given when the symbol E (the fifth winning game) is determined. It is set to be different depending on the gaming state (non-shortened state and variable shorted state) at the time of being played. Specifically, the determination that the symbol E (fifth winning game) is determined in accordance with the special figure determination performed when the gaming state is the non-variable state is set as the variable condition granting condition. Five times are set as the provision period (the number of times of variation) of the variation state to be applied along with the establishment. In addition, the determination that the symbol E (the fifth winning game) is determined in accordance with the special figure determination that is performed when the gaming state is in the variable state is set as the variable condition grant condition, and as the grant condition is satisfied 65 is set as the application period (number of times of change) of the change state to be applied.

  In addition, the opening effect time in which the opening effect in the fifth winning game is executed and the ending effect time in which the ending effect is executed are the game state (non-changed) when the symbol E (fifth winning game) is determined. Are set differently depending on the short state and the variable state). Specifically, when the game state at the time when the symbol E (the fifth winning game) is determined is the non-changeable state, “3.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and the ending effect is set. "35.0 (seconds)" is set as the time. In addition, when the game state at the time when the symbol E (the fifth winning game) is determined is a variable state, “8.0 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “ "5.0 (seconds)" is set.

(More specifically, with the first start winning detection sensor 31 or the second start winning detection sensor 32 detecting a pachinko ball), each random number temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c at the same timing The main control CPU 60a acquires the information. In addition, each random number acquired with the pachinko ball winning at the first start winning opening 27a is the same as each random number obtained with the pachinko ball winning at the second starting winning opening 28a. Is commonly used, and the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number corresponding to the timing of winning on each start winning opening 27a, 28a.

(About the judgment value related to judgment per special map)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores, as a result of the special view variation display (design variation effect), a determination value per special view indicating generation of a special view. The judgment value per special figure is a judgment value used for judging whether or not it is per special figure (judgment per special figure) using the random number for judgment per special figure, and “0” that the random number for judgment per special figure can take. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from among the total of 65,536 integers from '65535'. Here, the judgment value per special drawing differs in the number of judgment values set depending on whether or not the above-described positive variation state is given at the time of judgment per special drawing. Specifically, the number of determination values per special figure (2522 in the embodiment) set in the probability variation state is the number of determination values per special figure (2521 in the embodiment) set in the non-probability variation state. More than). That is, a large hit is likely to occur by increasing the set number of determination values per special drawing in the definite change state.

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a determination value for determining a special figure. The determination value for special figure determination is a special figure per special figure symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A as a definite stop when the result of the special figure determination is affirmative. It is a determination value determined using a special figure determination random number for a special figure 2 as a special figure per special figure to be displayed as a fixed stop. Here, in the embodiment, an integer value of “0” to “99” corresponding to the above-mentioned 100 types of special drawing determination random numbers is set as the special drawing determination determination value, and the special drawing determination use determination The special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are individually associated with each of the values.

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores, as a result of the common drawing variation display, a common drawing per-display determination value indicating that the common drawing is to be generated. The judgment value per common drawing is a judgment value used in the judgment (common judgment per common drawing) whether or not per common drawing using the judgment random number per common drawing, and “0” which can be taken by the judgment random number per common drawing A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the determination value per common drawing is different from the set number of determination values depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is applied at the time of making the determination per common drawing. Specifically, the number of judgment values per common drawing (in the example, 65535) set in the case of the variable short state is the number of judgment values per common drawing set in the case of the non-shortened state (example) Is set more than 1). That is, by increasing the set number of determination values per common drawing in the variable / short state, the common drawing can easily occur.

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns (variation patterns) for specifying fluctuation contents, and the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponds to each special figure fluctuation pattern. It is remembered. Here, the special figure fluctuation pattern is a display content (display contents of a symbol fluctuation effect, which is executed between the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display and the determination stop display. The basic contents of the light emission effect mode and the sound effect mode) are specified. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (special figure fluctuation display) from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is determined and stopped. I have identified. The special figure fluctuation pattern distribution judgment value is a judgment value used to determine the special drawing fluctuation pattern using the special drawing fluctuation pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined judgment value is assigned to each special drawing fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution judgment value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern allocation random number is assigned is specified.

  Here, as the special figure fluctuation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns per special figure and an extraordinary special figure fluctuation pattern are provided. The special figure variation pattern for the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the special figure judgment is affirmative. It is a special figure fluctuation pattern selected when the result of determination is negative. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment includes a reach special figure fluctuation pattern that is finally a deviation after the reach effect is performed, and a special figure fluctuation pattern that is a deviation without forming a reach. There is. The reach effect is a period from when the symbol combination of the effective symbol which is the reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the effect display unit 17 until the symbol combination of the decorative symbol which is the hit display or the off display is stopped and displayed. It is an effect performed in

  Here, the reach effect is an effect that suggests the possibility that the hit display is displayed, and is performed triggered by the reach display displayed on the effect display unit 17 in the process of the symbol variation. In addition to the reach effect, as a production that suggests the possibility that the hit display will be displayed, it is a pseudo that a decoration figure of each symbol row L, C, R is temporarily stopped plural times continuously in one symbol combination production Continuous notice effect, continuous notice effect (predictive notice effect) which enables execution of a fluctuation cycle in which the change from the change start to the change stop of the decoration is one time a plurality of times can be performed and displayed on the effect display unit 17 There is a preliminary announcement effect that suggests the possibility, and a preliminary announcement effect that suggests to the player the possibility that the hit display may be displayed by the light of the lamp device 18 or the sound output from the speaker 19.

(About the opening judgment information accompanying winning a prize in the gate part)
Further, the main control CPU 60a uses various random numbers as release determination information triggered by the pachinko balls passing through the gate portions 41 and 43 (more specifically, when the gate sensors 42 and 44 detect the pachinko balls). Is set to get. Here, as the random numbers that the main control CPU 60a acquires upon the detection of the gate sensors 42 and 44, various random numbers such as a random number for determining normal maps are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these random number values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update, thereby The random numbers are acquired in accordance with the timing when the detection signals of the sensors 42 and 44 are input to the main control CPU 60a. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process that measures time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  In addition, opening determination information (various random values, entry information) acquired when the pachinko ball passes through the gate sensors 42 and 44 is a predetermined map storage area ( The storage area is temporarily stored and held. In the case where the general map storage area is stored in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c, and the general map display unit 55 executes the variable map display based on the general map start hold information. The general control start reservation information is read out by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c.

  The random number per judgment of the common drawing per common drawing which enables the pachinko ball to win the second start winning opening 28a by opening the starting opening / closing member 29 of the second starting winning part 28 as a result of fluctuation of the common drawing ( This is a random number used in the normal figure determination (ordinary hit determination) for determining whether or not the normal hit. In the embodiment, a total of 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common drawing, and are updated one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect display. The judgment value per common drawing is a judgment value used in the judgment (common judgment per common drawing) whether or not per common drawing using the judgment random number per common drawing, and “0” which can be taken by the judgment random number per common drawing A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Then, when the acquired random number per common drawing determination random number matches the common value per judgment value, the main control CPU 60a determines that it is per common drawing, and opens and closes the start opening / closing member 29 after the common drawing fluctuation display is performed. It is supposed to be. Here, the determination value per common drawing is different from the set number of determination values depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is applied at the time of making the determination per common drawing. Specifically, the number of judgment values per common drawing (in the example, 65535) set in the case of the variable short state is the number of judgment values per common drawing set in the case of the non-shortened state (example) Is set more than 1). That is, by increasing the set number of determination values per common drawing in the variable / short state, the common hit per map is more likely to occur than in the non-shorted state. That is, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment has a function as an open determination unit that permits an open operation triggered by the detection of the gate sensors 42 and 44.

  The random number for common drawing determination is a common symbol per drawing (symbol 1 per common drawing, symbol 2 per common drawing) to be displayed as a fixed stop on the common drawing display unit 55 when the determination per common drawing is determined as the determination result per common drawing. It is a random number used when making a decision. Here, in the embodiment, a total of 255 integer values from "0" to "254" are set as random numbers for determining the common drawing, and are updated one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Yes. That is, by the value of the common drawing determination random number acquired triggered by the detection of the gate sensors 42 and 44, the common drawing per symbol described above as the common drawing which is displayed on the common drawing display unit 55 when the common drawing is displayed Is identified. In the case where the universal symbol hit determination result is an out-of-range determination result, an irregular symbol is specified as a common diagram to be confirmed and stopped on the universal diagram display unit 55.

(About judgment values related to judgment per ordinary figure)
The main control ROM 60b stores a determination value for determining a common drawing. The determination value for determining the common figure is a symbol for the universal figure 1 to the universal figure 4 as the symbol for the universal figure to be confirmed and stopped in the universal figure display unit 55 when the result of the universal figure determination is affirmative. The determination value is determined by using the random number for determining the common map acquired when the pachinko spheres 42 and 44 are detected. Here, in the embodiment, 197 integer values “0” to “254” corresponding to 255 random numbers for universal map determination are set as the universal map determination determination value. Each of the determination values is associated with a symbol per common drawing 1 to a symbol 4 per common drawing. More specifically, 128 common figure determination values are assigned to the symbol 1 per universal figure, and 127 universal figure determination values are assigned to the symbol 2 per universal figure.

  Here, in each of the symbols per base figure, an opening pattern for opening and closing the start opening / closing member 29 is specified in accordance with the gaming state specified at the time of the base symbol determination. When the gaming state is the non-changeable state, an opening pattern is set in which 300 ms is released once regardless of the type of symbol per ordinary figure. In addition, when the gaming state is the non-variable short state, an opening pattern is set in which 1860 milliseconds of opening is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice) for symbols 1 and 2 per symbol. ing. That is, the common drawing determination random number has a function as information for determining the opening pattern for operating the start opening / closing member 29.

  In addition, according to the game state at the time when the determination of the common drawing is performed, the common drawing change time in which the common drawing change display is performed in the common drawing display unit 55 is set to be different. Specifically, when the gaming state at the time when the determination is made per common drawing is non-shortening state, the common drawing fluctuation time is set to 2000 milliseconds, and the gaming state at that time is in the short state. The spread map fluctuation time is set to 240 milliseconds.

  That is, according to the game state specified based on the game state specifying information (specifically, the variable short flag), the open / close operation condition in which the main control CPU 60a opens / closes the start open / close member 29 of the second start winning portion 28 It is set to be different. Therefore, the ease of winning the pachinko ball with respect to the second start winning portion 28 changes according to the game state specified based on the game state specifying information. More specifically, in the embodiment, when the gaming state is the variable state, the winning probability of the determination per base figure is high, and the normal figure fluctuation display is performed, when the gaming state is the variable state. It is configured to be controlled by the main control CPU 60a so that the second start winning portion 28 is opened under open / close control conditions advantageous to a player who finishes in a short time and further opens the second start winning opening 28a in a long time .

(About processing with main control board)
Next, processing executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be described. The main control CPU 60a shifts to a state in which a game on the pachinko machine 10 is possible after executing an initial setting process such as a security check in accordance with power-on of the pachinko machine 10. In this state, normal processing is executed at a predetermined control cycle (every 4 ms). Here, in the normal process executed by the main control CPU 60a, a random number update process for updating various random numbers, a timer update process for measuring time, a command input / output process for inputting / outputting various commands, and a game information display unit M In addition to executing processing related to display contents, flag setting processing, winning game execution processing, etc., special drawing input processing related to winning in the starting unit and special drawing start processing related to special drawing hit determination are executed. It has become. Hereinafter, the special figure input process and the special figure start process will be specifically described.

(About special map input processing)
In the special view input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won in the first start winning opening 27a of the first start winning portion 27 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 31 corresponding to the first start winning opening 27a detects a pachinko ball is input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result in step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of reservations of the first special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result in step A12 is negative (that is, the number of reservations for the first special view start suspension information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of reservations for the first special view start reservation information <4), the number of the first special view start reservation information is increased by one and the first special information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information (the value of the judgment random number for special drawing, the value of the special drawing determination random number and the value of various random numbers such as the special drawing fluctuation pattern distribution random number) from the main control RAM 60c. The winning information (random number value) is set as first special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  Further, at step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won in the second start winning opening 28a of the second start winning portion 28. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 32 corresponding to the second start winning opening 28a detects a pachinko ball is input. When the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special map input process is ended. If the determination result in step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of reservations of the second special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result in step A16 is negative (that is, the number of reservations for the second special view start suspension information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special view input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of reservations of the second special view start suspension information <4), the number of the second special view start suspension information is increased by one, and the second special function stored by the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information (the value of the judgment random number for special drawing, the value of the special drawing determination random number and the value of various random numbers such as the special drawing fluctuation pattern distribution random number) from the main control RAM 60c. The winning information (value of random number) is stored as a second special drawing start reservation information in a predetermined special drawing storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holdings (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is completed. In addition, eight storage areas of the first to eighth special view storage areas are set in the main control RAM 60c, and the first and second special view start suspension information are configured to be stored in order of acquisition. ing.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. In the embodiment, the special drawing start suspension information is read in order of winning in the first start winning opening 27a and the second starting winning opening 28a, and judgment per special figure is performed. In other words, the main control CPU 60a relates to the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when winning the first and second start winning openings 27a, 28a. The order of winning on 27a and 28a can be recognized.

  The main control CPU 60a executes the special drawing start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special view start process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the special view 1 or the special view 2 is variably displayed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B and the effect display portion 17, or whether or not the hit game is in progress. To do (step B11). If the determination result in step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process. On the other hand, when the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of reservations of the special view start suspension information is read (step B12), and it is determined whether the number of suspension of the special view startup suspension information is larger than "0". (Step B13). When the determination result of step B13 is negative (when the number of holdings of the special drawing start hold information = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. Further, when the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the special drawing start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a performs special drawing change processing stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “1” indicating that the special figure variation effect is executed is set in the flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the special view start holding information (step B14), and the special view start holding information stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the holding number. The main control CPU 60a acquires (values of determination random numbers for special drawing, values for special drawing determination random numbers, values for presentation execution determination random numbers, special drawing fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers, etc.) (step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires special view start suspension information (random number) from the first special map storage area in which the special diagram start suspension information stored earliest is stored. Then, after the main control CPU 60a acquires the random number associated with the special view start hold information, the special view start hold information of the second special view storage area in which the special view start hold information stored second earlier is stored. (Random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the special view start reserve information of the third special view storage area in the second special view storage area, and the special view start reserve information of the fourth special view storage area in the third special view storage area. To be stored in the 5th Tokushu storage area in the 4th Tokushu storage area, and to 6 in the 5th Tokushu storage area to be stored in the 5th Tokushuku storage area The special view start hold information of the seventh special view storage area is stored in the sixth special view storage area, and the special view start hold information of the eighth special view storage area (latest special view start hold information) is stored in the seventh special view storage area. Store in the area. In this manner, the special drawing start reservation information (first and second special drawing start reservation information) stored in the order of winnings on the start winning openings 27a, 28a is shifted and stored in order in the young special map storage area. That is, the special view start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special view suspension display unit 52 or the second special view suspension display unit 53 so as to correspond to the number of suspension of special view start suspension information after subtraction. That is, if the read special view start hold information is the first special view start hold information, the display of the corresponding first special view hold display unit 52 is changed, and the read special view start hold information is the first (2) If it is the special view start reserve information, the display of the corresponding second special view reserve display unit 53 is changed.

  When various random numbers as special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. In the special drawing, it is determined whether or not it matches the determination value in the special drawing, and the determination (per lottery) is performed (step B18). In addition, as described above, the probability (that is, the big hit probability) that the determination result of the special figure determination is positive in the non-probability state (in the low probability state) is set to 2521/65536, and it is in the positive state The probability that the judgment result is positive (probability per feature) at the time of high probability) is set to 2522/65536. And, when the determination result of the special figure hitting determination in step B18 is affirmative (when the hit game occurs), the special figure hitting flag which shows that it is fluctuation per special figure is set “1” (Step B19). And, the main control CPU 60a is a final stop symbol (special figure 1) which is a symbol per special figure displayed on the first or second special figure display portions 50A, 50B on the basis of the acquired special figure determination random number value. Alternatively, special figure 2) is determined (step B20). Here, since the value for the special drawing determination random number is associated with the special drawing per special drawing 1 or the special drawing 2 by the first special drawing start reservation information or the second special drawing start reservation information fire, The main control CPU 60a determines the special symbol per special figure by determining the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 associated with the value of the special figure determining random number according to the type of the acquired special figure starting hold information. Become. Then, when the symbol per special figure (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects the special figure fluctuation pattern for the special figure based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern determination. One special figure variation pattern is determined (step B21).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the special figure determination in step B18 is negative (if not special figure), the main control CPU 60a displays a fixed stop display on the first or second special figure display units 50A and 50B. The missed symbol is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) (Step B23). Next, the main control CPU 60a, based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution, changes one special figure out of the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment (reach off special figure fluctuation pattern or outlier special figure fluctuation pattern). A pattern is determined (step B24).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) in Steps B21 and B24, sets a predetermined control command (Step B22). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure fluctuation pattern and designates the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, or the special figure 1 or special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. A special figure 1 designation command or a special figure 2 designation command is set. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step B13 is negative (if the number of reserved special figure start hold information is 0), the main control CPU 60a has already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect. (Step B16), if the result of the determination is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B17). If the determination result in step B16 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  Here, each control command set in the special view start process is output to the effect control board 65 by the main control CPU 60a in the command input / output process in the above-described normal process, and in the special view fluctuation pattern in the timer update process. Main control CPU 60a starts measurement of the identified fluctuation time, and at the same time, main control CPU 60a controls corresponding special view display portions 50A and 50B to start special view fluctuation display. Then, the main control CPU 60a instructs the fluctuation stop of the decoration drawing based on the fluctuation time defined in the designated special drawing fluctuation pattern, and effects control of all the symbol stop commands for displaying the symbol combination in the decision stop display Output to the substrate 65.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a sets a probability variation flag indicating a probability variation state after the end of the hit game in the flag setting process to “1” when the symbol special symbol grants the probability variation state. The probability variation flag is set so that the probability variation flag is set to “0” by the main control CPU 60a in the flag setting process when the probability variation state end condition is satisfied. Here, in the embodiment, as described above, regardless of the type of symbol per symbol (symbol A to symbol I, symbol a to symbol i), a definite change state is set to be given after the end of the hit game Yes. In addition, the termination condition of the definite change state is satisfied by the next hit game being started or the special figure fluctuation display of a predetermined number of times (65 times in the embodiment) is performed after the hit game, and the main control The CPU 60a sets the probability change flag to "0" before the next symbol change effect (special figure change display) is performed a predetermined number of times after the start of the hit game or after the hit game. That is, the main control CPU 60a can specify the gaming state by referring to the probability change flag as the gaming state specifying information.

  Further, when the symbol giving a variation state according to the special figure, the main control CPU 60a sets a variation flag representing a variation state after the end of the hitting game in the flag setting process to “1”. The main control CPU 60a sets the variable short flag to “0” in the flag setting process when the variable short flag satisfies the end condition of the variable short state. That is, the main control CPU 60a can specify the game state by referring to the variable short flag as the game state specification information. In the embodiment, the termination condition of the variation condition is the symbol variation effect (the number of variation periods) of the variation condition determined when the game is started per the next special drawing or the winning is made per special drawing ( It is established by executing the special figure fluctuation display), and before the next symbol fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation display) of the timing when the main control CPU 60a starts the hit game or the number of times of fluctuation is performed The short flag is set to “0”.

  That is, by referring to the value of the probability change flag, the main control CPU 60a can specify whether the gaming state to which the probability variation state is applied or the non-probability variation gaming state to which the probability variation state is not imparted. In addition, by referring to the game state specification information (the value of the probability change flag or the change short flag), the game state to which the change state is given or the non-change short game state to which the change state is not given is main The control CPU 60a can be specified. In this way, the main control CPU 60a is configured to function as a gaming state determination unit that can specify a plurality of gaming states. In addition, when the special figure fluctuation display of specified number of times (65 times in the example) is performed after hitting game and the termination condition of the definite change state is satisfied, the main control CPU 60a controls the definite change end command in the command input / output processing An output to the substrate 65 is made. Similarly, when the termination condition of the variation state is satisfied with the elapse of the assignment period of the variation state, the main control CPU 60a outputs a variation end command to the effect control board 65 in the command input / output process. ing.

(About the control process accompanying the ball entering the gate parts 41 and 43)
Further, in the normal processing executed by the main control CPU 60a, general drawing input processing relating to winning to the gate portions 41 and 43, and special drawing start processing relating to determination per common drawing are executed. The common drawing input processing and the common drawing start processing will be specifically described below.

(Regarding the normal map input process)
In the common drawing input process, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has passed through the gate parts 41 and 43 (step C11). That is, in step C11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal to be output when the gate sensors 42 and 44 corresponding to the gate units 41 and 43 detect a pachinko ball is input. If the result of the determination in step C11 is negative, the general drawing input process is ended. If the determination result in step C11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of pending general drawing start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step C12). ). If the determination result in step C12 is negative (that is, the number of reserved general drawing start suspension information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the general drawing input process.

  If the determination result in step C12 is affirmative (the number of hold of the general-purpose start hold information <4), the number of hold of the general-purpose start hold information is incremented by 1, and the first general-purpose map start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. Is rewritten (step C13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads the value of the random number for determining the normal map and the value of the random number for determining the normal map from the main control RAM 60c, and associates the value of the random number with the hold number of the general map start hold information. A predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c is set (step C14). Thus, the general drawing input process ends.

(Regarding the usual chart start process)
Next, the common diagram start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the normal diagram start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the universal map start process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the universal map is in a variable display or in the universal map display unit 55 (step D11). If the determination result of step D11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the normal diagram start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step D11 is negative, the number of holds of the general-purpose start hold information is read (step D12), and it is determined whether or not the number of hold of the general-purpose start hold information is greater than “0”. (Step D13). When the determination result of step D13 is negative (when the number of holdings of the general chart start hold information = 0), the main control CPU 60a ends the general chart start process. Further, the main control CPU 60a, when the determination result of step D13 is affirmative (if the number of hold of the general chart start hold information> 0), the normal map change process stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c A value "1" is set to the flag to indicate that the common drawing fluctuation effect is to be executed. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of pendings of the general drawing start suspension information (step D14), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holdings of the general diagram starting suspension information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for determining the normal map and the value of the random number for determining the normal map (step D15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the first common drawing storage area in which the common drawing start suspension information stored most quickly is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second map start hold information, and then stores information on the second map storage area in which the map start hold information stored second fastest is stored (random number). ) Is stored in the first common drawing storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the information (random number) of the third map storage area in which the map start hold information stored third fastest is stored in the second map map storage area, and fourthly. The information (random number) in the fourth map storage area in which the early map storage information stored in the memory (that is, the newest) is stored in the third map storage area. That is, the normal drawing start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the common drawing hold display unit 56 so as to correspond to the hold number of the common drawing start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step D15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the acquired random value for determining the common figure matches the universal figure determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. Judgment is made on the basis of a map (lottery drawing) (step D16). Here, as described above, in the gaming state where the first or second variable state is not given (when the variable state is not changed), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (that is, the general variable state) (Probability per figure) is set to 1/65536, and the determination result is positive when the gaming state is assigned the first or second variable state (when the low probability variation shortage state or the probability variation shortage state) The probability (probability per common figure) to be is set to 65535/65536. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to allow the opening operation by making a hit-by-base determination based on the gaming state specified by the change flag.

  Next, the main control CPU 60a determines the opening pattern of the start opening / closing member 29 that accompanies the normal map (step D18). That is, in step D18, based on the acquired value of the common drawing determination random number as the opening / closing condition of the start opening / closing member 29, the common drawing per symbol to be displayed on the common drawing display unit 55 Is determined by the main control CPU 60a. Then, the main control CPU 60a determines an open pattern corresponding to the determined symbol 1 per symbol 1 to the symbol 2 per symbol based on the gaming state specified by the variation flag.

  In addition, when the determination result of the normal map determination in Step D16 is negative (in the case of not being the normal map determination), the main control CPU 60a shifts the normal map that is confirmed and stopped on the general map display unit 55. While determining the common figure shown as a final stop symbol, the fluctuation time of the common figure fluctuation | variation performed by the common drawing display part 55 is determined (step D19). Then, when the final stop symbol is determined in steps D18 and G19, a process relating to common drawing fluctuation is executed (step D20). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a sets a common drawing change designation command for instructing start of common drawing fluctuation, and an open pattern specification command for specifying an open pattern. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the common drawing start process.

(About effect control board 65)

(Notification control in variable state)
Next, notification control in the variable state will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as described above, a plurality of award conditions for awarding the variable state are determined for each hit game, and the right according to the award conditions established corresponding to the hit game awarded. A combination of the hitting display unit 59, the game form notification unit 100 and the effect display unit 17 or both is configured to notify the variable state. Here, as described above, the right-handed display unit 59 controls the main control CPU 60a to turn off the LED lamp in the non-variable state to notify that the gaming state is suitable for the left-handed gaming state. The main control CPU 60a controls the LED lamp to light up in the case of the short-circuit state to notify that the game state is suitable for the right-handed game state. That is, the right-handed display unit 59 is controlled by the main control CPU 60a to notify the variation state (specific game state) in the same notification mode (that is, lighting of the LED lamp). In other words, the right-handed display unit 59 is configured to continuously notify in the same notification mode during the variable state by establishing any of the application conditions for giving the variable state according to the drawing of the special figure. ing. Further, the right-handed display unit 59 is controlled by the main control CPU 60a so that the LED lamp is turned off with the end of the variable speed state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the game form notification unit 100 grants a variable state, the first notification unit 103 and the right-hand notification unit 103 perform the first notification based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a. It is comprised so that it can be alert | reported by the alerting | reporting aspect of either a right-handed alerting | reporting aspect or a 2nd right-handed alerting | reporting aspect. That is, the game type notification unit 100 is configured to be able to notify of the variable state (specific game state) in a plurality of different notification modes, and any of the conditions based on the award conditions established corresponding to the hit game to be awarded It is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to notify in the notification mode (see FIG. 14). Specifically, among the provision conditions determined to provide the variation state after the winning game, the first right-handed notification in the game mode notification unit 100 (the switching notification unit 101 and the right-handed notification unit 103) The condition for giving the variable state that can be notified in the mode, and the condition for giving the variable state that can be notified in the second right-handed notification mode in the game form notification unit 100 (the switching notification unit 101 and the right-handed notification unit 103). The game form notifying unit 100 is configured to notify the first right-handed notification mode or the second right-handed notification mode according to the established grant condition. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the provision condition of the variable state which can be alert | reported in the 1st right-handed alerting | reporting aspect in the game form alerting | reporting part 100 is designated as a 1st grant condition group, and in the game form alerting | reporting part 100, the first The provision condition of the variable state that can be notified in the right-handed notification mode of 2 may be referred to as a second provision condition group. That is, the first and second grant condition groups are a set of one or a plurality of grant conditions for granting a variable state determined for each hit game (for each symbol per special figure).

(About the first grant condition group)
Here, as shown in FIG. 12, in the first provision condition group, the first group hit game is triggered by the fact that the determination per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the determination result per special drawing. (In the embodiment, there is a provision condition for giving a variable state under the condition that the winning game corresponding to the symbols G and g is determined per special drawing. That is, when any of the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a imparts a variation state after the hit game, the game mode notification unit 100 reports the first right strike. It is controlled by the production control CPU 65a so as to notify in a manner. In addition, when any of the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group is satisfied, the game mode notification unit 100 continues the first condition while the variation condition is provided (during the variation condition). The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control to notify in the right-handed notification mode. That is, whether or not the variation state is given after the notification switching period (the number of times of variation in the embodiment is once) elapses by notifying the game mode notification unit 100 in the first right-handed notification mode. The player cannot be identified from the notification mode of the game form notification unit 100. Therefore, when notified in the first right-handed notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100, it is possible that the winning opportunity (variational state) to the second start winning portion 28 may end in a short period of time. The player can be made to recognize and let the player choose whether to launch the pachinko ball in the right-handed game mode. In other words, it is possible that switching from the right-handed game mode to the left-handed game mode may be necessary by notifying the game mode notification unit 100 in the first right-handed notification mode, during the short-lived state Can be notified. In addition, by notifying the first right-handed notification mode that is inconspicuous in the game form notification unit 100, it is assumed that the right-handed game form or the left-handed game form is returned to the left-handed game form. The player can appropriately select whether to watch the progress of the game without launching the ball.

(About the second grant condition group)
Further, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the second application condition group is triggered by the fact that the judgment per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the judgment result per special drawing. There is a provision condition that gives a variable state under the condition that the hit game (in the example, the hit game corresponding to the symbols A to C, E, a to c, e per special image) is determined. . In addition, in the second provision condition group, a third group of hit games (in the embodiment, a symbol per special figure), triggered by the fact that the determination per special figure performed in the variable length condition becomes the determination result per special figure. A granting condition for granting a variable state on condition that a winning game corresponding to A to I and a to i is determined is included. That is, when any of the provision conditions included in the second provision condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a imparts a variation state after the hit game, the game mode notification unit 100 generates the second right-handed notification mode. Is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a. If any of the provision conditions included in the second provision condition group is satisfied, the game mode notification unit 100 continuously outputs the second right while the variation state is provided (during the variation state). The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control so as to notify in a strike notification mode. That is, it is a game that the variation state of the number of times of variation shorter or longer than the notification switching period (one variation in the embodiment) is given by notifying the game mode notification unit 100 in the second right-handed notification mode. Can understand. Therefore, when notified in the second right-handed notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100, the player is made to recognize that the winning opportunity to the second start winning portion 28 continues for a long time, and in the right-handed game mode The player can be encouraged to launch a pachinko ball.

(About the 3rd grant condition group)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, of the provision conditions determined to provide the variable state after the winning game, the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 is a process from the start of the provision of the variable state. The grant conditions to be changed according to the period are defined. That is, when notifying of the variation state, the game mode notification unit 100 notifies the notification mode according to the elapsed period from the start of the provision of the variation state based on the provision condition established corresponding to the hit game to be provided. The effect control CPU 65a can be controlled so as to change and notify. Here, the provision condition of the variable state controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to change the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 may be referred to as a third provision condition group. This third awarding condition group is a set of one or more awarding conditions for awarding the variable state determined for each hit game (special pattern per symbol) described above, and in the embodiment, the third awarding condition group The three grant condition groups include a plurality of grant conditions.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 12, in the third application condition group of the embodiment, it is determined that the determination per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the determination result per special drawing as a trigger. There is a provision condition for giving a variable state under the condition that the hit game (in the embodiment, the hit game corresponding to the symbols D, F, d, f per special drawing) is determined. That is, when any of the provision conditions included in the third provision condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a imparts a variation state after hitting a game, notification is made according to an elapsed period from the start of the variation state provision. The game mode notification unit 100 is controlled by the effect control CPU 65 a so as to change the mode. Here, when any of the provision conditions included in the third provision condition group is satisfied, any notification is made in the game mode notification unit 100 while the variation condition is provided (during the variation condition). The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control to notify in an aspect. That is, when any of the provision conditions included in the third provision condition group is satisfied, the right-handed display unit 59 performs the same notification mode before and after changing the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 and notifying. The main control CPU 60a is configured to control to notify at.

  More specifically, in the embodiment, when any of the provision conditions included in the third provision condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a imparts a variation state after the hit game, the satisfied provision condition is satisfied. The effect control CPU 65a controls the game mode notification unit 100 to notify in the first right-handed notification mode along with the start of provision of the variation state due to the end of the hit game according to the game start notification mode from notification start of the variation state start The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the game form notification unit 100 so as to notify the second right-handed notification mode after the period has elapsed. That is, when the fourth, sixth, thirteenth, and fifteenth hit games are awarded with the special view hit in the non-shortening state, until the notification switching period after the corresponding hit, The game mode notification unit 100 makes a notification in the inconspicuous notification mode (the first right-handed notification mode), and the player can be notified that the winning opportunity to the second start winning portion 28 may end in a short period of time. While being recognized, it is possible to urge the player to hit the pachinko ball in the right-handed game mode, and after the notification switching period has elapsed, the game mode notification is made in a prominent notification mode (second right-handed notification mode) By notifying the unit 100, it is possible to make the player recognize that the winning opportunity to the second start winning unit 28 continues for a long time, and to urge the player to hit the pachinko ball in the right-handed game mode. Here, the notification switching period is a period during which the main control CPU 60a gives a variation state (that is, one symbol change effect after the game is played, if any of the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group is satisfied). (Period until special figure change display) is confirmed and stopped). Therefore, during the notification switching period notified by the game type notification unit 100 in the first right-handed notification mode, it is not possible to identify from the game type notification unit 100 whether or not the variation state continues, and the game type notification unit 100 It is possible to gather interest in the notification mode.

  Here, among the grant conditions included in the third grant condition group, the per-special symbol D, d is triggered by the fact that the per-special symbol determination performed in the non-variable state becomes the determination result per special symbol. When the variable condition grant condition is satisfied by determining the corresponding fourth or thirteenth winning game by the main control CPU 60a, as described above, the variable condition grant period (number of variable times) is set. Twenty-five times are determined by the main control CPU 60a. That is, in this case, the game form notification unit 100 notifies in the second right-handed notification mode until the special figure variation display is performed 24 times after the notification switching period has elapsed. On the other hand, among the grant conditions included in the third grant condition group, the per-special symbols F and f are triggered by the fact that the per-special symbol judgment performed in the non-variable state becomes the judgment result per special symbol. If the provision condition for the variable state is established by determining the corresponding sixth or fifteenth winning game) by the main control CPU 60a, as described above, the provision period of the variable state (number of variable times) Are determined by the main control CPU 60a as five times. In other words, in this case, the game form notification unit 100 notifies in the second right-handed notification mode until the special figure variation display is performed four times after the notification switching period has elapsed. Thus, even after the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 changes from the first right-hand notification mode to the second right-hand notification mode, it is possible to identify from the game mode notification unit 100 how long the fluctuation state will last. Instead, interest in the notification mode of the game mode notification unit 100 can be gathered.

  Here, as described above, the hit game corresponding to the symbols D and d per special figure (first specific game) is triggered by the fact that the special figure determination performed in the non-variable state becomes the determination result per special figure. When the variable control state grant condition (grant condition included in the third grant condition group) is established by the main control CPU 60a being determined by the main control CPU 60a, the special figure hit determination performed in the non-variable state is performed. In the special pattern hit when it becomes the decision result per special figure hitting game which corresponds to the pattern B, C, b and c (the 2nd specified hitting game) it is change condition by being decided with main control CPU60a The variable state is given in the first specific grant period (25 times) that is the same as when the grant condition (grant condition included in the second grant condition group) is satisfied. Similarly, when the special figure-per-minute determination performed in the above-mentioned non-shortening state becomes the determination result per special figure as a trigger, the special game per special figure corresponds to the symbols F and f. Is determined by the main control CPU 60a, and the special per-figure determination performed in the non-variable state is performed per special figure when the provision condition for the variable state (the provision condition included in the third provision condition group) is satisfied. As a result of the determination result, the winning game (second specific winning game) corresponding to the symbols E and e per special figure is determined by the main control CPU 60a, so that the grant condition of the variable state (second The variable state is given in the same second specific grant period (five times) as when the grant condition included in the grant condition group is satisfied.

  That is, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has the first specific grant period or the second specific after the first specific hit game (specifically, the fourth, sixth, thirteenth, and fifteenth win games). When the variable state is applied during the application period, the first right-handed notification mode is notified with the start of the application of the variable state, and the second time after the notification switching period elapses from the start of the application of the variable state. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to be able to control the game form notification unit 100 so as to notify in the right-handed notification mode, and the second specific hit game (specifically, the second, third, fifth, and tenth). , Eleventh and fourteenth winning games), when a specific gaming state is granted in the first specific grant period or the second specific grant period, during the specific grant period, the second right-hand notification is given The effect control CPU 65a controls the game form notifying unit 100 so as to notify the mode. It is configured to be possible. As described above, when the variable short state is given in the same giving period (the first specific giving period or the second specific giving period), the notification mode in the second right-handed notification mode is made different. The second right-handed notification mode and the period for which the variable state continues can be enhanced.

  Further, in the embodiment, any of the grant conditions included in the second and third grant condition groups is satisfied and a winning game (a specific type of winning game, that is, the first to sixth, eighth in the embodiment). In the case where the variable state is given triggered by the provision of the fifteenth and sixteenth to eighteenth hit games, the variable state from the short state to the non-short state with the elapse of the provision period of the variable state At the time, the effect control CPU 65a controls the game mode notification unit 100 to notify in the left hitting notification mode corresponding to the non-shortening state. That is, when the shift state continues for a certain period (change period grant period) and then shifts to the non-change state, the game form notification unit 100 notifies in a left-handed notification form. The player is prevented from continuing the game in the right-handed game form as it is. On the other hand, in the embodiment, any one of the grant conditions included in the first grant condition group is satisfied and a winning game (second specific type of winning game, that is, in the embodiment, the seventh, sixteenth When a variable state is given triggered by the fact that a hit game is given, when it changes from the short state to the non-short state with the elapse of the grant period of the variable state, the game for a predetermined period The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the form notifying unit 100 to be in a non-notifying mode. That is, when the variable state ends once, the game form notification unit 100 does not notify the left-handed notification form in accordance with the transition to the non-variable state, so that the variable state and the non-variable state A player can play a game that is not conscious of switching. In the embodiment, if any of the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group is satisfied and the variable state is given after the game, the predetermined period from the subsequent to the non-short state is After the elapse, the effect control CPU 65a controls the game form notifying unit 100 to notify in the left-handed notification form. Here, as a period until the game mode notification unit 100 notifies in the left hitting notification mode, it can be a period until a symbol variation effect of a predetermined number of times of variation (for example, three times) is performed. As described above, after the predetermined period has elapsed, the game mode notification unit 100 notifies the player in the left hitting notification mode so that the player can be surely recognized as being in the non-shortening state.

(About the notification display on the effect display unit 17)
Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the effect display unit 17 displays the first right-handed notification display or the second right-handed notification display based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a when giving a variable state. Any notification display can be displayed. In other words, the effect display unit 17 is configured to be able to display different notification displays depending on the degree of advantage associated with the provision of the change state based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a when notifying the change state. (See FIG. 14). Specifically, among the granting conditions determined to grant the variable state after the winning game, the variable state granting condition capable of displaying the first right-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17, and the effect The display unit 17 defines a variable condition application condition that allows the display of the second right-handed notification display. The first right-handed notification display or the second right-handed notification display is determined according to the established application condition. Thus, the effect display unit 17 can be notified. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the provision condition of the variable state which can display the 1st right-hand-notification display in the effect display part 17 is designated as the 4th provision condition group, and the effect display part 17 uses the second The provision condition of the variable state capable of displaying the right-handed notice display may be referred to as a fifth provision condition group. That is, the fourth and fifth grant condition groups are a set of one or a plurality of grant conditions for granting a variable state determined for each winning game (for each symbol per special figure). In the embodiment, the grant conditions included in the fourth and fifth grant condition groups are set to overlap any of the grant conditions included in the second grant condition group, and the fourth and fifth grant condition groups If the grant condition included in the game is satisfied, the grant condition included in the second grant condition group is satisfied, so that the notification by the game form notification unit 100 and the notification by the effect display unit 17 can be executed simultaneously. It has become. Further, the fourth and fifth provision condition groups are the provision conditions (first specific provision conditions) of the variable state controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so as not to change the notification display on the effect display unit 17.

(About the 4th grant condition group)
Here, as shown in FIG. 12, in the fourth provision condition group, the fifth group is hit when the determination per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the determination result per special drawing. (In the embodiment, there is a provision condition for giving a variable state under the condition that the winning game corresponding to the symbols B and b is determined per special drawing. That is, when any of the provision conditions included in the fourth provision condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a imparts a variation state after the hit game, the effect display unit 17 displays the first right-handed notification display. The effect control CPU 65a is controlled to notify the user. Further, when any of the provision conditions included in the fourth provision condition group is satisfied, the effect display unit for a certain display time from the end of the corresponding hit game (the second or ninth hit game). The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the first right-handed notification display on the display 17. Here, the display time for displaying the first right-handed notice display on the effect display unit 17 is set to a time shorter than the change time of the symbol change effect performed by the effect display unit 17, and the symbol change effect is performed. In the middle, the display of the first right-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17 is ended. Specifically, the display time is set to a time shorter than the shortest fluctuation time (2.5 seconds in the embodiment) among fluctuation times defined in the special pattern fluctuation pattern which can be determined by the main control CPU 60a in the fluctuation state. Is done.

  Further, the provision condition included in the fourth provision condition group is set to overlap with the provision condition included in the second provision condition group, and the notification switching period (the number of times of variation in the embodiment is once). The player can grasp that a change state with a longer number of changes is provided. Therefore, when the first right-handed notification display is displayed on the effect display unit 17, the player recognizes that the winning opportunity to the second start winning unit 28 will continue for a long time, and in the right-handed game form The player can be urged to launch a pachinko ball. Further, among the provision conditions included in the second provision condition group, when the provision conditions not included in the fourth and fifth provision condition groups are satisfied, the effect display unit 17 is configured to receive the first and second provision conditions. The effect control CPU 65a controls not to display the right-handed notification display. That is, when the game form notification unit 100 notifies in the second right-handed notification mode at the end of the winning game and displays the first right-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17, 25 times after the winning game. The player can identify that the transformation state is given until the special figure variation display is performed, while the game form notification unit 100 is in the second right-handed notification mode as the winning game ends. When notifying and not displaying the 1st and 2nd right-handed notification displays on the effect display unit 17, the player cannot accurately identify the period (5 times or 25 times) of the transformation state after the winning game. In this manner, the right-handed gaming mode is enhanced while increasing the player's interest in continuation of the variable state depending on whether or not the first right-handed notice display is displayed on the effect display unit 17 with the end of the hit game. The player can be urged to launch a pachinko ball in

(About the fifth grant condition group)
Further, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the fifth application condition group is triggered by the fact that the judgment per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the judgment result per special drawing. There is a provision condition for giving a variation state on condition that a hit game (in the embodiment, a hit game corresponding to the symbol A, a per special drawing) is determined. In addition, in the fifth provision condition group, the seventh group of hit games (in the embodiment, a symbol per special figure in response to the special chart per judgment performed in the variable length condition being the determination result per special chart) A granting condition for granting a variable state on condition that a winning game corresponding to A to I) is determined is included. That is, when any of the provision conditions included in the fifth provision condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a imparts a variable state after the hit game, the second right-hand notice display is displayed on the effect display unit 17 It is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to be displayed. As described above, when the effect control CPU 65a notifies in the same notification mode (second right-handed notification mode) in the game mode notification unit 100, different notification displays (first right The notification display or the second right-hand notification display) is configured to be controllable so as to be displayed on the effect display unit 17.

  In addition, when any of the grant conditions included in the fifth grant condition group is satisfied, the effect display unit is displayed for a certain display time from the end of the corresponding hit game (first to tenth win games). The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the second right-handed notification display at 17. Here, the display time for displaying the second right-hand notification display on the effect display unit 17 is set to be shorter than the change time of the symbol change effect performed on the effect display unit 17, and the symbol change effect is performed. In the middle, the display of the second right-hand notification display on the effect display unit 17 is ended. Specifically, the display time is set to a time shorter than the shortest fluctuation time (2.5 seconds in the embodiment) among fluctuation times defined in the special pattern fluctuation pattern which can be determined by the main control CPU 60a in the fluctuation state. Be done. That is, it is possible for the player to grasp that the change state with the longest number of times of change within the grantable grant period has been given by notifying with the second right-hand notification display on the effect display unit 17. It has become. Therefore, when the effect display unit 17 is notified by the second right-handed notification display, the player is made aware that the winning opportunity to the second start winning unit 28 will continue for a long time, and in the right-handed game form. The player can be urged to launch a pachinko ball.

(About the 6th grant condition group)
Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the notification display on the effect display unit 17 is performed in the elapsed time from the start of the provision of the variable state, within the provision conditions for determining that the variable state is provided after the winning game. The granting conditions to be changed depending on That is, when notifying the variation state, the effect display unit 17 displays the notification according to the elapsed period from the start of the application of the variation state based on the provision condition established corresponding to the hit game to be awarded. The effect control CPU 65a can be controlled to change. Here, there is a case where the provision condition (second specific provision condition) in the variable state controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to change the notification display on the effect display unit 17 is referred to as a sixth provision condition group. This sixth provision condition group is a set of one or more provision conditions of the provision condition for providing the variation state defined for each hit game (special pattern per pattern) described above, and in the embodiment, the sixth provision condition group The six grant condition groups include a plurality of grant conditions.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 12, in the sixth application condition group of the embodiment, the fourth group is triggered by the fact that the determination per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the determination result per special drawing. A granting condition for giving a variable state is included on condition that the same winning game as the winning game (in the embodiment, a winning game corresponding to symbols D, F, d, and f per special figure) is determined. . The grant conditions included in the sixth grant condition group match the grant conditions included in the third grant condition group. When any of the granting conditions included in the sixth granting condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a grants a variable state after the winning game, the effect display unit 17 displays the first right-handed notification display. It is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to be displayed. That is, when any of the granting conditions included in the sixth granting condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a grants the variable state after the winning game, the notification is made according to the elapsed period from the start of the provision of the variable state. The effect display unit 17 is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to change the display.

  More specifically, in the embodiment, when any of the grant conditions included in the sixth grant condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a grants the variable state after the winning game, The production control CPU 65a controls the production display unit 17 so as not to display the first and second right-handed notification displays in accordance with the start of the application of the variable state due to the end of the corresponding hit game, and from the start of the application of the variable state. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the effect display unit 17 so as to display the first right-handed notification display after the lapse of the predetermined period.

  Here, the predetermined period from the start of the application of the variation state to the display of the first right-handed notice display is set to coincide with the notice switching period. In other words, when the fourth, sixth, thirteenth, and fifteenth winning games are given in response to a special figure in an unchangeable state, until the notification switching period after the winning game, By not displaying the first and second right-handed notification displays on the effect display unit 17, the player recognizes that the chance to win the second start winning unit 28 may end in a short period of time. While notifying the game form notifying unit 100, the game form notifying unit 100 prompts the player to launch a pachinko ball in the right-handed game form. Is displayed on the effect display unit 17 to allow the player to recognize that the winning opportunity to the second start winning unit 28 continues for a long time, and to launch a pachinko ball in the right-handed game form. It can prompt the player. As described above, the second start winning portion is made to coincide with the notification switching period in which the notification mode of the gaming mode notification unit 100 switches, from the start of the application of the variation state to the display of the first right-handed notification display. It is possible to make a strong impression on the player of the change in the winning opportunity to 28.

  Further, in the embodiment, the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group (the first group hit game (triggered by the fact that the determination per special drawing performed in the non-shortening state becomes the determination result per special drawing) In the embodiment, the fact that the winning game corresponding to the symbols G and g per special figure is determined) is a condition for displaying a right-handed notification display (first or second right-handed notification display) on the effect display unit 17. Not set as. That is, when the seventh or sixteenth winning game (design symbol G, g) is determined in the non-changed state, a right-handed notification display is displayed on the effect display unit 17 in the changed state after the winning game. Do not show. That is, it is possible to urge the player to launch the pachinko ball in the right-handed game mode by the display mode and the display timing of the right-handed notice display displayed on the effect display unit 17 in the reduced state after hit.

  That is, when the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment gives the variable state by the first specific application condition (specifically, the fourth or fifth application condition group) being satisfied, the variation may occur. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to be able to control the effect display unit 17 so as to display the right-handed notification display (the first or second right-handed notification display) from the start of the application of the state, and the second specific application condition (specifically In the case where the variable state is given by the sixth application condition group being satisfied, the right-handed notification display (the first right-handed notification display) after a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the application of the variable short state. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to be able to control the effect display unit 17. In this way, by changing the notification timing of the variation state by the effect display unit 17 according to the provision condition that is established, the game mode notification unit 100 reports by increasing interest in the period of the variation state to be given. The player is prompted to launch the pachinko ball in the right-handed game mode, and the player can play the game in accordance with the provision period of the variation state.

(Notification of non-variable state)
The effect display unit 17 displays the first left-handed notification display based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a when transitioning from the variable short state to the non-short state (when the variable short state ends). Configured to be able to. Specifically, among the granting conditions determined to grant the variable state after the winning game, the variable state granting condition capable of displaying the first left-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17, A condition for giving a variable state that does not display the first left-handed notification display is determined, and transition from the variable state to the non-variable state by the first left-handed notification display according to the established application condition. Is displayed so that the effect display unit 17 can notify (see FIG. 14). In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the provision condition of the variable state which can display the 1st left-hand alert display in the production | presentation display part 17 is designated as a 7th provision condition group, and the production | presentation display part 17 uses the 1st The provision condition of the variable state which does not display the left hitting notification display may be referred to as an eighth provision condition group. That is, the seventh and eighth grant condition groups are a set of one or a plurality of grant conditions for granting a variable state determined for each hit game (for each symbol per special figure). The grant conditions included in the seventh and eighth grant condition groups are set so as to overlap any of the grant conditions included in the first to third grant condition groups. The notification by the effect display unit 17 can be executed at the same time.

(About the seventh grant condition group)
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the seventh grant condition group includes grant conditions included in the second grant condition group and the third grant condition group. That is, the variable-short state applied when any of the application conditions included in the seventh application condition group (the second application condition group or the third application condition group) is satisfied is the application for each application condition. When transitioning to a non-shortening state with the elapse of a period, the effect control CPU 65a is controlled to display a first left-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17. That is, when the variation state lasts longer than the notification switching period (one variation number in the embodiment), the notification by the second right-handed notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 is ended, and the effect display unit 17 is displayed. By displaying the first left-handed notification display, the player can recognize that it is necessary to return to the left-handed game form.

(About 8th grant condition group)
Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the eighth provision condition group includes the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group. That is, the variable state given when any of the granting conditions included in the eighth granting condition group (first granting condition group) is satisfied is not changed with the passage of the granting period for each granting condition. When transitioning to the variation state, the effect control CPU 65a is controlled so as not to display the first left hit notification display on the effect display unit 17. Here, since any of the grant conditions included in the eighth grant condition group (first grant condition group) can be satisfied in the non-variable state, the grant condition of the eighth grant condition group Is basically established when the game is played in the left-handed game mode. And the variable state given when any of the grant conditions included in the eighth grant condition group (first grant condition group) is satisfied is a notification switching period (in the embodiment, the number of times of change is one). In this case, it is informed that there is a possibility that the change state) may end in a short period of time by notifying in the first right-hand notification mode that is inconspicuous in the game form notification unit 100. Therefore, when the notification by the first right-handed notification mode in the game form notification unit 100 is terminated, the launch mode is frequently changed by not displaying the first left-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17. It is possible to prevent the display and increase the player's interest in the contents of the effect of the symbol variation effect performed by the effect display unit 17.

(About the game effect mode)
As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment includes a plurality of (5 in the embodiment) game effect modes in which the effect contents (display contents) of the symbol variation effect executed by the effect display unit 17 are different. ing. Here, the game effect mode produces a game state suggestion image that suggests to the player whether or not the current game state is a probabilistic state, and suggests to the player whether or not it is a variable state. The game effect is displayed by causing the display unit 17 to display. And, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the game effect mode can be changed by establishment of a predetermined mode transition condition. Here, in the embodiment, the provision condition of the short and short state established with the winning game and the number of changes of the symbol changing effect (first and second special figure changing display) after the winning game (in the embodiment, once and five times) , 25 times, 65 times) are considered as mode transition conditions.

  The game effect mode according to the embodiment includes a game effect mode (hereinafter referred to as a normal game effect mode MDA) that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a in the case of a game state in which no change state is given, and a change state. A plurality of (four in the embodiment) game effect modes (hereinafter referred to as first to fourth game effect modes MD1 to MD4) that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a in the game state being played are set. Then, different game state suggesting images having different contents corresponding to the game effect modes MDA and MD1 to MD4 are displayed on the effect display unit 17. Specifically, the background image displayed on the back of the decoration drawing of the effect display unit 17 is set to be different for each game effect mode MDA, MD1 to MD4, and the current game effect mode is selected from the types of background images. People are able to recognize. Further, in each game effect mode MDA, MD1 to MD4, part or all of the effect contents of the symbol variation effect performed in the effect display unit 17 are different, and a specific effect is provided for each game effect mode MDA, MD1 to MD4. It is set to be able to run.

  The effect display unit 17 displays game mode suggestion images having contents corresponding to the game effect modes MDA and MD1 to MD4 under the control of the effect control CPU 65a and the display control CPU 70a. Specifically, the background image displayed on the back of the decoration display of the effect display unit 17 is set to be different for each of the game effect modes MDA and MD1 to MD4, and the current game mode MDA, The player can recognize MD1 to MD4. Further, in each game effect mode MDA, MD1 to MD4, part or all of the effect content (effect pattern) of the symbol variation effect performed in the effect display unit 17 is different, and an effect unique to each of these game effect modes. Is set to be able to run.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, in the first game effect mode MD1, the fourth, sixth, seventh, thirteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth win games are performed in the main control CPU 60a in the non-variable state. Is determined, the effect control CPU 65a is determined as the game effect mode of the period (the period until the end) of the first (first) symbol variation effect after the end of the winning game. In the second game effect mode MD2, when the main control CPU 60a determines the third, fifth, twelfth and fourteenth hit games in the non-shortening state, from the first time after the end of the hit game The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode during the period in which the fifth symbol variation effect is performed. Further, in the second game effect mode MD2, when the main control CPU 60a determines the fourth, sixth, thirteenth and fifteenth winning games in the non-changeable state, the second gaming effect mode MD2 starts from the second time after the end of the winning game. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode during the period in which the symbol variation effect is performed up to the fifth time.

  In the third game effect mode MD3, when the main control CPU 60a determines the second and eleventh winning games in the non-changeable state, the first to 25th symbol variation effects after the winning game ends. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode during the period in which the game is performed. Also, in the third game effect mode MD3, when the main control CPU 60a determines the third, fourth, twelfth, and thirteenth hit games in the non-shortening state, the sixth game after the end of the hit game is 25 The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode during the period in which the symbol change effect is performed up to the first time. In the fourth game effect mode MD4, when the main control CPU 60a determines the first and tenth winning games in the non-variable state and in the variable state, the first to eighteenth winning games are determined. In this case, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine a game effect mode in a period in which the first to 65th symbol variation effects are performed after the end of the hit game.

  Further, in the normal game effect mode MDA, when the main control CPU 60a determines the eighth, ninth, seventeenth and eighteenth win games in the non-changeable state, the first game game after the end of the win game is next. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode until the winning game is given. In addition, in the normal game effect mode MDA, when the hit game to which the variable state is applied is determined, the variable state grant period (fluctuation frequency of once, five times) determined according to the established variable state grant condition. After the symbol variation effects of 25 times and 65 times are performed, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the game effect mode until the next winning game is awarded.

  In this way, when the winning game is awarded, the effect control CPU 65a sets the gaming effect mode according to the number of changes in the symbol variation effect performed after the winning game, based on the grant conditions established corresponding to the winning game. It is configured to make decisions. Then, when the effect control CPU 65a changes the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 (specifically, when changing from the first right-handed notification mode to the second right-handed notification mode), the game effect is produced. The mode is changed (specifically, the first game effect mode MD1 is changed to the second game effect mode MD2). In addition, the effect control CPU 65a changes the game effect mode when the game form notification unit 100 ends the notification in the first and second right-handed notification modes (specifically, the first to fourth games). It is configured to change from any one of the effect modes to the normal game effect mode MDA). Furthermore, the effect control CPU 65a changes the game effect mode while informing in the second right-handed notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 according to the awarding condition established (specifically, the second game effect mode It can be changed from MD2 to the third game effect mode MD3).

(About notification mode decision processing)
Next, an example of notification mode determination processing for determining the notification mode of the game mode notification unit 100 executed by the effect control CPU 65a in the variable state will be described.

  In the notification mode determination process, as shown in FIG. 16, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the gaming state is a variable state (specific gaming state) (step E11). The determination of whether the gaming state is the variation state can be made based on the variation information flag set in the effect control RAM 65c, and if the gaming state is the variation state (the variation information flag is " In the case of 1 ′ ′), the process proceeds to step E12, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the type of the previous hit game (type of symbol per special drawing) while the gaming state is not in the short state (the short information flag Is “0”), the notification mode determination process is terminated.

  In step E12, it is determined whether or not the type of the previous hit game (type of symbol per special figure) is the first group of hit games (seventh, sixteenth hits corresponding to special symbol G, g per special figure). The effect control CPU 65a determines. The last hit game type (special symbol type) can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a based on the last special symbol type information set in the effect control RAM 65c. If it is a winning game, the process goes to step E13, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the first right-handed notification mode. That is, since the determination in step E12 is a determination result that is a winning game of the first group, the state is a shortage state after a winning game due to the establishment of any of the grant conditions included in the first grant condition group. The production control CPU 65a can determine the first right-handed notification mode based on the establishment of any of the provision conditions included in the first provision condition group. It has become.

  If it is determined in step E12 that the game is not the first group winning game, the previous winning game type (special symbol type) is the fourth group winning game (special symbol D, F, d). , f, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not it is the fourth, sixth, thirteenth and fifteenth winning games) (step E14). In the same manner as in step E12, this determination is performed by the effect control CPU 65a based on the type information of the last special symbol per symbol set in the effect control RAM 65c. If it is a hit game in the fourth group, the process proceeds to step E15. In other words, the determination result in step E14 is a determination result that the winning game of the fourth group, so that in the variable state after the winning game due to the establishment of any of the grant conditions included in the third grant condition group The effect control CPU 65a can determine that there is. In addition, since the determination in step E14 is a determination result that the winning game of the fourth group is not, the change state after the winning game due to the establishment of any of the grant conditions included in the second grant condition group The effect control CPU 65a can determine that this is true.

In step E15, the effect control CPU 65a determines the elapsed time from the end of the winning game (that is, the start of giving the variable state accompanying the end of the winning game). Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the notification switching period has elapsed after the winning game ends.
Here, in the embodiment, the notification change period is set to a period until the symbol change effect (special figure change display) is confirmed and stopped after the winning game, and the value of the change counter CN is “1”. By determining whether or not, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the notification switching period has elapsed. That is, when the value of the variation counter CN is “1”, the effect control CPU 65a indicates that it is before the symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is performed after the winning game (before the notification switching period elapses). Is determined, the process proceeds to step E13, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the first right-handed notification mode. In addition, when the value of the variation counter CN is other than “1”, the effect is that after one symbol variation effect (special diagram variation display) is performed after the winning game (after the notification switching period has elapsed). The control CPU 65a determines, and the process proceeds to step E16.

  Further, by shifting from step E14 to step E16 or step E15 to step E16, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the second right-handed notification mode. In other words, the determination result in step E14 is a determination result that the winning game is not the fourth group winning game, which is a shortage state after the winning game due to the establishment of any of the grant conditions included in the second grant condition group. The effect control CPU 65a can determine this, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the second right-handed notification mode based on the establishment of any of the grant conditions included in the second grant condition group. (Steps E14 to E16). In addition, since the determination result in step E14 is a determination result that the winning game is the fourth group, in the variable state after the winning game due to the establishment of any of the grant conditions included in the third grant condition group The effect control CPU 65a can determine that there is, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the first or second right-handed notification mode according to the determination result of step E15 (from step E15). Step E13 or step E16).

  If it is determined in step E12 that the game is not the first group winning game, the process proceeds to step E14, where the previous winning game type (special symbol type) is the second group winning game (special symbol per game). The effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the first to third, fifth, tenth to twelfth, and fourteenth hit games corresponding to the symbols A to C, E, a to c, and e.

(About notification display decision processing)
Next, an example of the notification display determination process for determining the notification display of the effect display unit 17 executed by the effect control CPU 65a in the variable state will be described.

  In the notification display determination process, as shown in FIG. 17, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the gaming state is a specific gaming state (a reduction state) (step F11). The determination of whether the gaming state is the variation state can be made based on the variation information flag set in the effect control RAM 65c, and if the gaming state is the variation state (the variation information flag is " In the case of 1 ′ ′), the process proceeds to step F12, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the type of the previous hit game (type of symbol per special drawing) while the gaming state is not in the short state (the short information flag Is “0”), the notification display determination process is terminated.

  In step F12, it is determined whether or not the previous hit game type (special symbol pattern type) is the first group hit game (seven, sixteen hit games corresponding to special symbol G, g per special image). The effect control CPU 65a determines. The last hit game type (special symbol type) can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a based on the last special symbol type information set in the effect control RAM 65c. If it is other than the winning game (other than the symbols G and g per special figure), the process proceeds to step F13, and the final variation (final symbol variation effect (special The effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the figure changes display)). Here, in the embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a determines by determining whether or not the value of the variation counter CN is coincident with the application period of the variable state (variable number of times) provided with the special drawing. It is configured to For example, when the first winning game is determined, the value of the fluctuation number counter CN becomes "65" since the provision period (the number of deformations) of the variable state is set to "65 times". Thus, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the final change of the variable state is the change, and the value of the change number counter CN does not reach "65", the effect control CPU 65a determines that the final change of the change state is not It is supposed to And, in the case of the final change in the fluctuation state, at step F14, effect control to display the second right-handed notification display on the effect display section 17 at the start of the next symbol change effect (special figure change display) The CPU 65a is to decide. In addition, in the case of the determination result that the first group is a hit game (pattern G, g per special figure) in step F12, and in the case of a fixed determination result in step F13, the final variation performed in the variable state In the case of the determination result that is not, the notification display determination process is terminated.

(About notification control in winning games)
Next, notification control in the hit game will be described. As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment combines the right-handed display unit 59 and either or both of the game mode notification unit 100 and the effect display unit 17 in accordance with the hit game to be awarded. It is configured to perform notification of a launch form suitable for the above. Here, as shown in FIG. 18, the right-handed display unit 59 turns off the LED lamp and opens the first special winning portion 33 in the case of the special drawing based on the first special drawing start reservation information. Is controlled by the main control CPU 60a to notify that it is (a hit game suitable for the left-handed game state), and the LED lamp is turned on in the case of the special view based on the second special view start hold information 2) It is controlled by the main control CPU 60a to notify that it is a hit game (opening a hit game suitable for the right-handed game state) by opening the special winning portion 36. That is, the right-handed display unit 59 is controlled by the main control CPU 60a to notify in the same notification mode (that is, lighting of the LED lamp) when notifying the hit game of opening the second special winning portion 36. In addition, the right-handed display unit 59 is controlled by the main control CPU 60a to turn off the LED lamp with the end of the hit game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, when giving a winning game, the game mode notification unit 100 performs the switch notification unit 101, the left hit notification unit 102, and the right hit notification unit 103 based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a. By this, it is comprised so that it can alert | report by the alerting | reporting aspect in any of the said left-handed game form or the 2nd right-handed alerting | reporting aspect. That is, the game form notifying unit 100 is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so as to notify in a notification mode based on the awarded hit game. Specifically, in the case of per special drawing based on the first special drawing start suspension information, it is a hit game in which the game mode notification unit 100 notifies in the left hitting notification mode and opens the first special winning unit 33 ( The effect control CPU 65a is controlled to notify that it is a winning game suitable for the left-handed gaming state, and in the case of the special figure based on the second special figure start hold information, the game form notification unit 100 performs the second right The effect control CPU 65a is controlled to notify that the game is a winning game in which the second special winning portion 36 is released by notifying in the hit notification mode (ie, a winning game suitable for the right-handed gaming state).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the effect display unit 17 is configured to display the second left-handed notification display based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a when a winning game is given. In the embodiment, during the execution of the winning game (first to ninth winning games) given in the non-variable state or in the variable state as a trigger based on the special figure based on the first special figure start hold information When the game is played in the right-handed game mode, the effect control CPU 65a is controlled to display a second left hit notification display on the effect display unit 17. Specifically, when the pachinko ball that has passed through the second gate unit 43 is detected by the second gate sensor 44 during the execution of the first to ninth hit games, the second left on the effect display unit 17 A hit notification display is displayed. That is, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the display of the second left-handed notification display triggered by the control signal indicating that the second gate sensor 44 detects the pachinko ball from the main control board 60. It is done. As described above, when the game is performed in the right-handed game mode during the execution of the first to ninth hit games, the first special winning portion 33 can not be made to win the pachinko ball. A second left-handed notification display is displayed on the display unit 17 to prompt the player to correct the launch form.

  Further, in the embodiment, when a winning game (first to ninth winning games) is given in response to a special figure based on the first special figure start hold information in the variable state, the winning game The production control CPU 65a is configured to control the production display unit 17 to display a second left-handed notification display at the start of the production. That is, when the gaming state determined based on the change information flag is the change state, the effect control CPU 65a shows a control signal (for example, a special figure 1 designation command) indicating the special figure based on the first special figure start hold information. Is input from the main control board 60, and the second left-handed notification display is determined to be displayed. In other words, it is highly probable that the game is played in the right-handed game form in the short state, and if the game is played in this game form, the first special winning unit 33 is made to win a pachinko ball. Since the second left hit notification display is displayed on the effect display unit 17 to prompt the player to correct the hitting form.

(Operation of the embodiment)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

  In a gaming state (non-changing state) in which no change state is given, a game is played in a left-handed game form by the operation of the operation handle 16 by the player, so that the game area 21 (the first game area 20) The first start hold information acquired when the pachinko ball launched into the one-ball flow-down area 21a) wins the first start winning opening 27a of the first start winning section 27 (satisfaction of the first start condition) is obtained. On the basis of this, the determination per special figure is made. The pachinko ball launched into the game area 21 (first ball falling area 21a) of the game board 20 passes through the first gate portion 41, and the second result is determined according to the determination result of the normal hit determination. 2 The second start hold acquired when the start opening / closing member 29 of the start winning section 28 is opened and winning the second start winning opening 28a of the second start winning section 28 (satisfaction of the second start condition) is obtained. Judgment is made on the basis of the information. Here, since the start opening / closing member 29 of the second start winning portion 28 is difficult to be opened in the non-shortened state according to the determination result of the common drawing hit determination, the winning of the first start winning portion 27 is mainly used. A game is played.

  On the other hand, in the gaming state in which the variation state is imparted, the game is performed in the right-handed gaming form by the operation of the operation handle 16 by the player, and the gaming area 21 of the gaming board 20 (second ball flow area 21b), the start opening / closing member 29 of the second start winning portion 28 is opened according to the determination result of the normal hit determination performed when the pachinko ball launched by the second gate portion 43 is triggered. Based on the second start hold information acquired by winning the second start winning port 28a of the 2 start winning section 28 (satisfaction of the second start condition), determination per special figure is performed. Here, in the left hitting game mode, the pachinko ball can win the first and second start winning portions 27, 28 as described above, whereas in the right hitting game mode, the first start winning portion 27 While it is almost impossible to expect to win, the pachinko ball can win the second start winning portion 28. Therefore, in the variable state in which the start opening / closing member 29 of the pachinko ball second start winning portion 28 of the embodiment is opened and closed under an opening / closing control condition advantageous to the player, the game is won by playing the game in the right-handed game form. In this case, more prize balls can be obtained, and the player can play a game advantageously.

  Here, a grant condition for giving a variable state is set for each hit game given when winning the first or second start winning portion 27, 28, and one of the grant conditions is established. When giving a variation state, the main control CPU 60a controls the right-handed display unit 59 of the game information display unit M to notify in the same notification form regardless of the satisfied application conditions. That is, when the right-handed display unit 59 notifies in the same notification mode in the variable speed state, it is accurately notified that the second start winning portion 28 is in a state of opening and closing under favorable conditions (variable state). The game mode in which the pachinko ball is hit can be selected by determining whether the player is in the variable state or the non-short state by referring to the right-handed display section 59 appropriately in playing the game.

  In addition, when the determination per special figure becomes a winning determination result when winning the first or second starting winning portion 27, 28, based on the granting condition established corresponding to the winning game to be awarded. The effect control CPU 65a controls the game type notification unit 100 so that notification can be made in any of the plurality of notification modes (the first or second right-handed game mode). That is, in the case of giving a variable state, a game that matches the assigned variable state by changing the right-handed notification mode in the game type notification unit 100 according to the conditions for granting the variable state to be established ( A player can select a game in a left-handed game form or a game in a right-handed game form. That is, the player can select the game form according to the provision state of the variation state notified by the game form notification unit 100, and the game is performed without forcing the player to play the game form right-handed with the provision of the variation state. The range of choices when performing That is, by combining the notification mode of the right-handed display unit 59 controlled by the main control CPU 60a and the notification mode of the game mode notification unit 100 controlled by the effect control CPU 65a, various notifications adapted to the state of the game are appropriately made. This makes it possible to increase the degree of freedom in selecting a game form by the player and improve the interest of the game.

  Here, when the first start winning portion 27 where the main game is performed in the non-shortening state is triggered upon winning in the first start winning portion 27 and the shorting state is given after the game, according to the giving condition established for each hitting game The provision period (number of times of variation) of the variation state is configured to be different, and any of a plurality of notification modes (first right-handed notification mode or second right-handed notification mode) according to the assignment period of the variation state. The game form notification unit 100 is configured to notify in such a notification mode. Specifically, when any of the granting conditions included in the first granting condition group is fulfilled by winning the first start winning part 27, the granting period (shortening of the shortening) is given. 1), the game mode notification unit 100 notifies the first right-handed notification mode, and if any of the grant conditions included in the second grant condition group is satisfied, the variable state is given. During the granted period (5, 25, or 65 times of change), the game mode notification unit 100 notifies in the second right-handed notification mode and is included in the third grant condition group When any of the conditions is satisfied, the game mode notification unit 100 performs the first right-handed notification mode during the provision period (any of five or 25 variations) in which the variation state is provided. Is changed to the second right-hand notification mode. As described above, when giving the variation state, it is possible to notify in the different notification modes in the game mode notification unit 100 based on the assignment period of the variation state, so that the variation period is provided. The player can play the game. In other words, when the game form notification unit 100 makes a notification in the first right-handed notification mode that is inconspicuous, it may be necessary to return to the left-handed game form in a short period (one change). Even if the operation handle 16 is operated so as to play a game in the right-handed game mode, the second start winning portion 28 may not be opened as a result of the determination of the common drawing. Therefore, by reporting in the first right-handed notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100, it is predicted to play a game in the right-handed game mode or to return to the left-handed game mode and play the game in the left-handed game mode The player can appropriately select whether to watch the progress of the game, and the range of game selection is expanded.

  In addition, by configuring to be able to notify by changing the notification mode of the game mode notification unit 100 according to the elapsed period from the start of the application of the variable short state, the game according to the elapsed period from the start of the variable short state The player can do it. In other words, the hit game (first specific hit game) corresponding to the symbols D and d per special figure is the main control when the judgment per special figure performed in the non-variable state becomes the determination result per special figure. In the case where the imparting condition of the variable and short state (the imparting condition included in the third imparting condition group) is satisfied by being determined by the CPU 60a, and the variable short state is imparted in the first specific imparting period (25 times) In addition to notifying in the first right-handed notification mode at the start of the provision of the variable state, the notification switching period from the start of the provision of the variable state (one symbol variation effect (special figure variation display after winning game) The notification mode of the game mode notification unit 100 is changed so as to notify in the second right-handed notification mode after the elapse of the period of time until the final decision stop). Similarly, when the special figure-per-shot determination performed in the non-shortening state becomes the determination result for the special figure, the special game (first specific hit game) corresponding to the symbols F and f for the special figure is main As a result of being determined by the control CPU 60a, the application condition of variable state (the application condition included in the third application condition group) is satisfied, and the variable state is applied in the second specific application period (five times). In such a case, a notification is given in the first right-handed notification mode along with the start of application of the variable state, and a notification is given in the second right-handed notification mode after the notification switching period has elapsed from the start of the application of the variable state. The notification mode of the game form notification unit 100 is changed.

  For this reason, during the notification in the first right-handed notification mode (from the hit game to the elapse of the notification switching period), the game is executed in the left-handed game form or the right-handed game form as described above. After changing the notification mode to the second right-handed notification mode that draws attention more strongly while expanding the selection range of the game by appropriate selection by the person, execution of the game in the right-handed game mode It is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage. In addition, before and after the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 is changed, the right-handed display unit 59 notifies in the same notification mode (the notification mode does not change), the condition that the second start winning portion 28 is advantageous It is possible to accurately notify the player that it is in a state of being opened and closed. Therefore, when changing the notification mode in the game form notification unit 100 in accordance with the elapsed period from the start of giving the variable state, the combination of the notification mode of the right-handed display unit 59 and the notification mode of the game form notification unit 100 As a result, it is possible to appropriately perform various notifications in accordance with the state of the game, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in selecting the game mode by the player and to improve the interest of the game.

  Here, the hit game corresponding to the symbols B, C, b, c per special figure (second specific hit) is triggered when the judgment per special figure performed in the non-variable state becomes the result of judgment per special figure. The game) is determined by the main control CPU 60a, and the provision condition of the variable state (the provision condition included in the second provision condition group) is satisfied, and the variation is made in the first specific provision period (25 times) When a state is given, it is notified in the second right-handed notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100 during the first specific provision period (during a variable state). Similarly, the hit game (second specific hit game) corresponding to the symbols E and e per special figure is the main when the judgment per special figure performed in the non-variable state becomes the judgment result per special figure. As a result of being determined by the control CPU 60a, the application condition for variable state (the application condition included in the second application condition group) is satisfied, and the variable state is applied in the second specific application period (five times). In this case, during the second specific grant period (during variable state), the game mode notification unit 100 notifies in the second right-handed notification mode. As described above, the notification mode of the game form notification unit 100 is changed or the same notification mode is maintained in accordance with the type of hit game that is given the change state (change condition provision condition). By changing the manner of notification, it is possible to enhance interest in the notification mode change and improve the interest of the game while appropriately performing various notifications according to the state of the game. Moreover, it can prevent that the alerting | reporting aspect in the game form alerting | reporting part 100 becomes uniform.

  Further, in the embodiment, since the game effect mode of the game effect performed by the effect display unit 17 is changed in accordance with the change of the notification mode in the game mode notification unit 100, the game mode notification unit It is possible to increase interest in the effect change in the effect display unit 17 and improve the interest of the game while appropriately performing various notifications according to the game state by the change of the notification mode in 100. In addition, by changing the game effect mode performed in the effect display unit 17, it is possible to prevent a change in the notification mode in the game form notification unit 100 from being missed and to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage.

  In the embodiment, any one of the granting conditions included in the second and third granting condition groups is satisfied, whereby a winning game (a specific type of winning game, that is, the first to sixth, eighth in the embodiment). When the 15th, 16th, 18th, and 18th winning games are awarded, when they are changed from shorting to non-shortening with the elapse of the granting period of the shorting status granted after the hitting In addition, the game form notification unit 100 notifies in a left-handed notification mode corresponding to the unchangeable state. On the other hand, a winning game (second specific type of winning game, that is, the seventh and sixteenth winning games in the embodiment) is granted when any of the grant conditions included in the first grant condition group is satisfied. In the case of being played, the game mode notification unit 100 corresponds to the non-shorting state when changing from the short state to the non-short state with the elapse of the giving period of the short state given after the hit game. The left-handed notification mode is not notified (becomes a non-notification state). Thus, when the variable state continues for a certain long period (5 times, 25 times, 65 times) and then shifts to the non-variable state, the game form notification unit 100 is in the left-handed notification form. By informing, it is possible to prevent the player from continuing the game in the right-handed game form as it is, and the player can play a game in accordance with switching from the variable state to the non-variable state. When the variation state ends in a short period (one time), switching between the variation state and the non-variation state is not performed by notifying the transition from the variation state to the non-variation state by the gaming mode notification unit 100 A player can play a game that is not conscious of. In this way, notification according to the type of hit game that becomes an opportunity to give the variable state can be performed.

  Here, the game form notifying unit 100 includes a plurality of display units (a switching notifying unit 101 and a right-handed notifying unit 103) that can notify the change state, and the grant condition established when the change state is given is satisfied. Based on any of these notification units (in the embodiment, only the right-handed notification unit 103) or a combination of both (both the switching notification unit 101 and the right-handed notification unit 103) The first and second right-handed notification modes) can be notified. As described above, the first and second right-handed notification modes can be significantly different by using the right-handed notification unit 103 in common and making a notification using different right-handed notification modes, and thus the game mode notification It is possible to accurately notify the player of the provision state of the variable state from the unit 100. Moreover, the switching notification part 101 of the game form alerting | reporting part 100 is utilized in the left-handed alerting | reporting aspect which alert | reports a non-change state. As described above, by configuring to notify each of the non-shortened state and the shorted state using the same switching notification unit 101, the gaming mode notification unit 100 can be formed in a compact size. In addition, when checking the game form notification unit 100, the player's line-of-sight movement can be minimized.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment can display a right-handed notification display for notifying the presentation display unit 17 of the provision of the variable state when the variable state is provided, separately from the game form notification unit 100. It is comprised, and the right-handed notification display which changes according to the advantage accompanying provision of a variable state can be displayed on the said effect display means. As described above, the advantage of the assigned variation state is displayed by displaying different notification displays on the effect display means according to the degree of preference (in the embodiment, the assignment period of the variation state) associated with the assignment of the variation state. The player can play a game that matches the game. That is, by the combination of the notification mode of the right-handed display unit 59 controlled by the main control CPU 60a and the notification display of the effect display unit 17 controlled by the effect control CPU 65a, various notification according to the game state is appropriately performed. It is possible to increase the degree of freedom of selection of the game form by the player and improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, since the game mode notification unit 100 notifies the variable state as described above, various notifications can be performed by combining the right-handed display unit 59, the game mode notification unit 100, and the effect display unit 17.

  Further, in the embodiment, when any of the grant conditions (second specific grant condition) included in the sixth grant condition group is satisfied and the main control CPU 60a grants the variable state after the winning game, The effect control CPU 65a controls the effect display unit 17 so as not to display the first and second right-handed notification display with the start of the provision of the variation state due to the termination of the hit game according to the established provision conditions, and the variation The effect control CPU 65a controls the effect display unit 17 so as to display the first right-handed notification display after the elapse of a predetermined period from the start of the application of the state. In other words, when the fourth, sixth, thirteenth, and fifteenth winning games are given in response to a special figure in an unchangeable state, until the notification switching period after the winning game, By not displaying the first and second right-handed notification displays on the effect display unit 17, the player recognizes that the chance to win the second start winning unit 28 may end in a short period of time. While notifying the game form notifying unit 100, the game form notifying unit 100 prompts the player to launch a pachinko ball in the right-handed game form. Is displayed on the effect display unit 17 to allow the player to recognize that the winning opportunity to the second start winning unit 28 continues for a long time, and to launch a pachinko ball in the right-handed game form. It can prompt the player. As described above, the second start winning portion is made to coincide with the notification switching period in which the notification mode of the gaming mode notification unit 100 switches, from the start of the application of the variation state to the display of the first right-handed notification display. It is possible to make a strong impression on the player of the change in the winning opportunity to 28.

  In addition, when any of the grant conditions (first specific grant conditions) included in the fourth or fifth grant condition group is established and the main control CPU 60a grants the variable state after the winning game, A right-handed notification display (first or second right-handed notification display) is displayed on the effect display unit 17 from the start of giving the variable state. As described above, by changing the notification timing of the effect display unit 17 in accordance with the type of hit game (the imparting condition of the variable state) which is a trigger for the variable state to be provided, various types of game according to the state of the game While performing notification appropriately, it is possible to increase interest in the notification timing of the notification display and improve the interest of the game. Further, it is possible to prevent the notification display timing in the effect display unit 17 from becoming uniform.

Further, in the embodiment, when the game form notification unit 100 performs notification in the same notification mode (second right-handed notification mode), a different notification display (first right-handed notification display or The second right-handed notification display) is configured to be displayed on the effect display unit 17.
That is, for example, in the embodiment, the changing condition providing condition (fourth providing condition group) for displaying the first right-handed notification display on the effect display unit 17, and the second right-handed notification on the effect display unit 17. The variable condition grant condition (the fifth grant condition group) for displaying the display is the variable condition grant condition (second grant condition group) notified by the game form notifying unit 100 in the second right-hand notification form. Duplicate with). As described above, various notifications can be realized by combining the notification display of the effect display unit 17 and the notification mode by the game form notification unit 100 according to the application condition established when the variable state is applied. Therefore, a combination of the notification mode of the notification unit, the notification display of the effect display unit, and the notification mode of the second notification unit enables appropriate notification according to the game state.
