Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 conducts a winning/losing lottery for the universal figure due to the entry into the operation gate 22, and starts a variable display of the winning/loss of the universal figure display device 29. If the result of the lottery is a win, the hit of the universal figure is confirmed and displayed on the display device 29, and the general electric accessory is opened. As a result, it is possible to win a prize in the second special figure starting port 24.
When there is a prize in the first or second special map starting port 23, 24, a random number value is extracted due to the winning, and the special figure is drawn based on the random number value. The variation of the effect symbol display device 21 is started. If the result of the lottery is a big hit, the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed on each of the display devices 28 and 21, and the big hit game (special game) accompanied by opening of the special winning opening 25 is executed.

In addition, after the big hit game, according to the special map (big hit pattern) that became a big hit, the probability change game state in which the winning probability of the special map is changed to a high probability, and the fluctuation time of the general map is shortened and the second special map It is possible to shift to a gaming state that is advantageous for shifting to a big hit game such as a time saving game state in which the opening time of the starting opening 24 is extended. It should be noted that the probability variation game state or the time saving game state returns to the normal game state until the next big hit occurs, or by counting the number of fluctuations of the special figure E and the number of fluctuations reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times). ..

Hereinafter, the details of the operation will be described based on the program processing executed by the main control device 40, the effect symbol control device 43, and the like.
FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of a "main routine" executed by the main control device 40. The "main routine" is composed of the main processing (S100 to S110, S115) and the residual processing (S111), and has a cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written in a specific address of the RAM. If a negative determination (S100:no) is made here, initialization (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not the above normal interrupt is written in the RAM as a part of this initial setting.

If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), the initial value random number update process (S101), the big hit determination random number (random number counter) update process (S102), which is the random number value for the success/failure determination of the first or second special figure, Update processing of random number (random number counter) for determining big hit symbol of 1 or 2 special figure (S103), update processing of random number for random determination (random number counter) of general figure (S104), reach of 1st or 2nd special figure Reach determination random number (random number counter) update processing (S105), variation pattern determination random number (random number counter) update processing (S106), winning confirmation processing regarding the variation pattern (variation time) of the first or second special figure (S107), hit determination processing (S108), each output processing (S109), fraud monitoring processing (S110) are performed, and initial random number updating processing (S111) is performed within the remaining time until the interrupt signal is input next. Loop through.

Next, a part of the subroutines of the winning confirmation processing (S107), the winning/judging determination processing (S108), and the output processing (S109) which are deeply related to the present invention will be described.
In addition, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is not possible to expect the ball to enter the second special figure starting port 24 unless the extension extension of the ordinary electric utility is functioning, so in the normal gaming state the first special figure starting port Aim at 23 and aim for a big hit game.

The "special figure start winning confirmation process" shown in FIG. 6 shows various random number values such as winning and winning random numbers extracted when a game ball enters the first special figure starting port 23 and the second special figure starting port 24. , Is stored (stored) in the main controller 40 as a reserved storage. Then, it becomes a process of transmitting various commands resulting from the entry into the special figure starting ports 23 and 24 to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. The number of pending storages that can be stored in this embodiment is four.

The "special figure start winning confirmation process" is performed by first determining whether or not a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23 is detected by the first starting port SW503, or by using the second starting port SW504. It is determined whether or not a ball entering the starting port 24 has been detected (S200). If there is no ball (S200:no), the process returns. If there is a ball entering the first or second special figure starting port 23, 24 (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of reserved memories of special figures stored in the main control device 40 is full. (S201). If it is full (S201:yea), the process returns.
If the pending storage is not full (S201: no), the special jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are extracted and the extracted various random numbers are specified. It is stored as the reserved memory in the figure, and 1 is added to the reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories (S202).
Next, a holding number instruction command indicating the value of the added holding storage counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 (S203).

7 to 10 show a flowchart of the "special drawing right/wrong judgment processing", in which the right/wrong judgment of the special drawing is individually executed.
As shown in FIG. 7, the "special figure right/wrong determination process" is performed by first confirming the operation of the accessory continuously operating device to confirm whether or not the big hit game is in progress (S300). (S300: no), it is confirmed whether the special map is changing (S301). If it is not changing (S301: no), it is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol of the special figure is being confirmed and displayed (S302). If the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S300: yes), the "special game process" is entered.

If the confirmed symbol of the special figure is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 8, it is confirmed whether there is a pending storage of the special figure (S310). If there is a reserved storage of a special figure (S310: yes), the number of reserved storages is subtracted, and shift processing of the reserved storage is performed (S311). By the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages is the target of the hit/fail judgment.
If there is no special figure pending storage (S310: no), the process moves to the "special game process".

Next, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state (if the probability variation flag is "1", the probability variation is in progress) (S312). If the probability change is in progress (S312: yes), the hit determination table at the time of probability change is compared with the jackpot determination random number of the pending storage that is the target of the hit determination, and whether or not the jackpot is determined based on a predetermined high probability. It is determined whether or not it is true (S313).
If the probability change is not in progress (S312: no), the win/no win determination is made by comparing the win/no win determination table of normal probability with the big hit determination random number (S314).

Whether or not the success/failure determination of the processing of S313 or S314 is a big hit is confirmed (S315). The process of S315 corresponds to the "validity determination means" described in the claims.
If it is a big hit (S315: yes), the big hit symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol deciding random number of the pending storage which is the object of the hit determination (S316).
Next, a variation pattern such as a variation time of the big hit symbol of the special figure is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the pending storage which is the object of the hit determination (S317).

After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed (S318). In this process, based on the determined big hit symbol, for example, the transition to the probability variation game after the big hit game is finished, the shift to the time saving game, and the setting of the time of the opening effect of the big hit game carried out by the effect symbol display device 21. The ending production time is set.

In the process of S315, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S315: no), a variation pattern such as a variation time of the special design loss symbol is determined (S319). After that, a loss setting process is performed (S320).

After the process of S318 or the process of S320, the information of the pending storage after the hit determination (for example, the information indicating the decrease of the pending storage after the hit determination is executed) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Processing is performed (S321).
Subsequently, the symbol variation start control of the special figure display device 28 is performed, and the variation start command of the symbol and the symbol designation command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the process moves to the "special game process 1". (S322). The variation start command and the symbol designating command include the variation pattern of the special figure, the determination result of the success/failure determination of the special figure, and the like.

When the special figure is changing in the process of S301 of FIG. 7 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 9, it is confirmed that the change time of the symbol has elapsed (S330: yes), the special figure display device. The control for terminating the variable display of the special symbols of 28 is performed, and a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the variable display of the effect symbols corresponding to the special symbols (S331). After that, the processing shifts to "special game processing".

If the fixed symbol of the special symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 10, it is confirmed whether the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340). If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), control for ending the fixed symbol display of the special symbol on the special symbol display device 28 is performed, and to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. A command is transmitted so as to finish the fixed display of the effect design corresponding to the special figure (S341).

Then, it is confirmed whether or not the symbol of the special figure is a combination that makes a big hit (S342). If the combination is a big hit (S342: yes), if the probability variation flag is "1" (S343: Yes), and set the probability change flag to "0" (S344). Next, if the time saving flag is "1" (S345: yes), "0" is set to the time saving flag (S346). By these processes, the gaming state regarding the probability change and the time saving during the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

Then, the operation of the condition device is started (S347). In addition, the condition device is a big hit to determine whether the special drawing is a big hit and operates when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed to satisfy the start condition of the big hit game, and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in the big hit game. It is a necessary device. Further, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started (S348), a big hit start effect process is performed (S349), and the process moves to the "special game process".

In the process of S342, if the combination is not a big hit (S342: no), it is confirmed whether the probability variation flag is "1" (S350). If the probability variation flag is "1" (S350: yes), the probability variation is confirmed. The probability variation counter that counts the duration of is subtracted, and it is confirmed whether or not the probability variation counter after the subtraction is "0" (S351). If the probability variation counter is "0" (S351: yes), the probability variation flag is reset to "0" (S352).
Subsequently, if the time saving flag is "1" (S353: yes), the time saving counter for counting the duration of time saving is subtracted, and it is confirmed whether the time saving counter after the subtraction is "0" (S354). ). If the time saving counter is "0" (S354: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S355).
Subsequently, a state designation command including information on the probability variation flag and the time saving flag indicating the game state is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 (S356). After that, the process moves to the "special game process".

In the "special game processing" shown in FIG. 11, first, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is in operation, and if it is in operation (S400: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the special winning opening 25 is open. Yes (S401). If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S400: no), the process returns.
In the process of S401, if the special winning opening 25 is not open (S401: no), it is confirmed whether or not it is during the big hit game interval (S402), and if it is not during the interval (S402: no), the special figure big hit. It is confirmed whether or not the end effect is being produced (S403), and if it is not during the big hit end effect (S403: no), it is confirmed whether or not the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S404), and whether or not the big hit start effect time has elapsed. If confirmed (S404: yes), the special winning opening 25 of the first round is opened by the special winning opening opening process (S405), and the process returns.

If the special winning opening is being opened in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 12, it is confirmed whether or not there are nine winning prizes (specified winning number) in the special winning opening 25 (S410), Alternatively, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 25 has ended (S411), and if either is confirmed (S410 or S411: yes), the special winning opening 25 is closed (S412) and the big hit interval process is executed. Then (S413), the process returns.

If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S402 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit interval time has passed (S420), and if it has passed (S420: yes). ), it is confirmed whether or not it is the final round (for example, the fifteenth round) (S421), and if it is the final round (S421: yes), the jackpot end effect process is executed (S422), and in this process, The big hit end command is transmitted to the integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S421: no), the special winning opening 25 of the next round is opened and the process returns (S423).

If the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S403 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect time has elapsed, and if the time is confirmed (S430: yes), a process of stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed (S431), and a process of stopping the operation of the condition device is executed (S432).

Then, it is confirmed whether or not there is a setting that is to be changed in probability after the jackpot game according to the jackpot pattern (S433), and if there is a setting for probability variation (S433: yes), the number of repetitions of the probability variation game (100 times) is determined. This is set (S434), and the probability variation flag is set to "1" (S435). With this, the probability variation game is given after the big hit game ends.
Next, it is confirmed whether or not there is a time saving setting according to the jackpot pattern (S436), and if there is a time saving setting (S436: yes), the number of times of the time saving game (100 times) is set (S437) and the time saving is set. The flag is set to "1" (S438). As a result, an open extension game is given after the jackpot game is over. After that, the big hit end command transmission process (S439) of the special figure is executed, the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect design control device 43 by this process, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.

Next, a description will be given of the effect display performed by the effect symbol display device 21 in accordance with the change of the special figure which is the gist of the present invention.
The production display shown in FIG. 15(a) shows that the production symbols are changing, and a winning/losing notification unit composed of a first production symbol group 61, a second production symbol group 62 and a third production symbol group 63 as the production symbols. Have. After these are changed, they are stopped and finally displayed, so that the result of the determination of success or failure of the special map is notified.
Each effect symbol group 61, 62, 63 is composed of, for example, a plurality of numbers from "1" to "9", and these numbers are sequentially replaced at high speed during fluctuation, and one of these numbers is stopped and displayed due to fluctuation stop. To be done.

The first effect symbol group 61, the second effect symbol group 62 and the third effect symbol group 63 are arranged side by side and on a substantially straight line on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21, and the first effect is on the left side of the display screen. The symbol group 61, the second effect symbol group 62 is arranged at the position on the right side, and the third effect symbol group 63 is arranged in the center so as to be sandwiched between the two 61, 62.
The first effect symbol group 61, the second effect symbol group 62, and the third effect symbol group 63 start to change all together with the hit determination of the special symbol. After that, first the first production symbol group 61 on the left side stops changing, and then the second production symbol group 62 on the right side stops changing. At this time, if the values of both 61 and 62 are aligned, the reach state is reached (see FIG. 15B).
And finally, the fluctuation of the central third effect symbol group 63 is stopped, and if the three numerical values are aligned, it is a big hit.

In the present embodiment, at least the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 respectively display decoration image parts 71 and 72 in association with them.
The decoration image parts 71 and 72 are displayed from the image data of either the first decoration image data or the second decoration image data.
In the illustrated example, the first decoration image data is composed of image data of a karateka Tatsuyoshi who makes a diagonal leftward fighting pose. On the other hand, as the second decoration image data, it is composed of image data of a karateka Tatsuyoshi who makes a diagonal rightward guts pose. The decoration image part made up of the first decoration image data and the decoration image part made up of the second decoration image data are arranged so as to have opposite directions with respect to the third effect symbol group.

During the change of the first effect symbol group 61, the decoration image portion 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 displays the decoration image portion 71A of Tatsuyoshi in the leftward fighting pose based on the first ornament image data.
On the other hand, during the change of the second effect symbol group 62, the decoration image portion 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 is the Tatsuyoshi ornament image portion 72B of the rightward guts pose based on the second ornament image data.
Therefore, while the first and second effect symbol groups 61 and 62 are changing, the decorative image portions 71A and 72B associated with them are opposite to the third effect symbol group 63 (outward). Decorative images that have directionality and are in mutually opposite directions are displayed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the variation of the first effect symbol group 61 is stopped, the decoration image portion 71 accompanying this is switched to the decoration image portion 71B composed of the second decoration image data, and the diagonal A rightward guts pose Tatsukichi, that is, a decoration image directed to the third effect design group 63 is displayed.
Next, when the variation of the second effect symbol group 62 is stopped, the decoration image portion 72 accompanying this is switched to the decoration image portion 72A composed of the first decoration image data, and Tatsukichi of the diagonally leftward facing fighting pose, that is, the first The decoration image for the three effect symbol group 63 is displayed.

In the illustrated example, the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 are stopped and displayed with the same effect symbol "6", which indicates the reach state. In this case, the player's interest is the third effect. It becomes the stop display of the symbol group 63, and further, the decorative image portions 71B and 72A associated with the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 are displayed in the direction (inward) of the third effect symbol group 63 which is being variably displayed. As a result, the player's eyes are naturally directed to the third effect symbol group 63, and the player's expectation for a big hit is increased.

As shown in FIG. 16, the control process for performing the effect display is performed by the “decorative image part display control process 1” (decorative image part control means) executed by the effect pattern control device 43.
In this process, although not shown, first, second, and third effect symbol groups 61, 62 are determined by the effect determination unit control process (effect determination unit control unit) of the effect symbol control device 43 in accordance with the determination of whether the special figure is appropriate. , 63 is started, and it is confirmed whether or not the first effect symbol group 61 is being changed and displayed (S500). If the variable display is in progress (S500: yes), a process of setting and displaying the decoration image portion 71 associated with the first effect design group 61 on the decoration image portion 71A based on the first decoration image data is performed (S501), The decorative image portion 71A is displayed on the effect design display device 21.

On the other hand, if the variable display is not being performed in the process of S500 (S500: no), the process of switching and displaying the decorative image part 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 to the decorative image part 71B of the second decorative image data is performed. Performed (S502), the decorative image portion 71B is displayed on the effect symbol display device 21.

Next, it is confirmed whether or not the second effect symbol group 62 is being variably displayed (S503). If it is being variably displayed (S503: yes), a process of setting and displaying the decoration image part 72 associated with the second effect pattern group 62 on the decoration image part 72B based on the second decoration image data is performed (S504), and thereby the effect is produced. The decorative image portion 72B is displayed on the symbol display device 21.

On the other hand, if the variable display is not being performed in the process of S503 (S503: no), the process of switching and displaying the decorative image part 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 to the decorative image part 72A of the first decorative image data is performed. Performed (S505), the decorative image portion 71B is displayed on the effect symbol display device 21.
The decorative image section display control process 1 and the hit/miss notification unit control process are not limited to the effect symbol control device 43, and may be performed by the sub integrated control device 42.

According to the present embodiment, the decoration image part 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 and the decoration image part 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 are displayed in a variable display and stopped display on the effect symbol groups 61, 62, respectively. Since the first decoration image data and the second decoration image data are selectively used in the middle, the variable display and the stop display of the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 are different from each other in the decorative image portion 71A, 71B, 72A, 72B can be displayed, and by using different decoration image data at the time of variable display and at the time of stop display, the decoration image portion 71 and the first decoration image portion 71 attached to the first effect symbol group 61 The data does not seem to be shared with the decoration image part 72 associated with the two effect symbol groups 62, and it can be made to look gorgeous as if each effect symbol group has a dedicated decorative image part. As described above, at least the decoration image data may be provided with the first decoration image data and the second decoration image data, which can reduce the storage capacity on the hardware side and, in addition, on the software side, work efficiency such as the production of the decoration image. Can be improved. That is, the image data amount can be reduced without reducing the quality of the effect design and the number of each effect pattern. Note that the decoration image data is considered not only as a still image of a character but also as image data of a moving image that carries out a series of actions, so the amount of data reduction in that case will be greater.

Further, at the stage where the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 are stopped, the decoration image portion 71B associated with the first effect symbol group 61 and the decoration image portion 72A associated with the second effect symbol group 62 are respectively provided. Since it becomes an inward aspect toward the central third effect symbol group 63, it is possible to naturally direct the interest of the player to the third effect symbol group 62. In particular, in the reach state, it is easy for the player to understand the establishment of the reach state, and the expectation for a big hit can be improved.
In the present embodiment, when the second effect symbol group 62 is stopped, the decorative image portion 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 is switched to the decorative image portion 72A based on the first decorative image data regardless of whether it is in the reach state or not. However, it may be configured to switch to the reach state only.

Next, another embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the above embodiment, the decoration image part 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 and the decoration image part 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 are stopped and displayed inward toward the third effect symbol group 63. The configuration is not limited to this, but in the present embodiment, in the reach state, the decorative image portion 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 and the decorative image portion 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 are the same. The display image (in the same direction) is stopped and displayed.
The basic configuration is the same as that of the previous embodiment, and the description will focus on the differences.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the process of the "decorative image portion display control process 2" executed by the effect symbol control device 43, first, the first effect symbol group 61 is variably displayed in accordance with the hit/miss judgment of the special figure. It is confirmed whether or not (S520). If it is being variably displayed (S520: yes), a process of setting and displaying the decorative image portion 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 on the decorative image portion 71A based on the first decorative image data is performed (S521), and thereby the effect is produced. The decorative image portion 71A is displayed on the symbol display device 21.

On the other hand, if the variable display is not in progress in the process of S520 (S520: no), the process of switching and displaying the decorative image part 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 to the decorative image part 71B of the second decorative image data is performed. Performed (S522), the decoration image portion 71B is displayed on the effect symbol display device 21.

Next, it is confirmed whether or not the second effect symbol group 62 is being variably displayed according to the hit/miss determination of the special figure (S523). If the variable display is in progress (S523: yes), a process of setting and displaying the decorative image portion 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 in the decorative image portion 72B based on the second decorative image data is performed (S524), The decorative image portion 72B is displayed on the effect symbol display device 21.

On the other hand, if the variable display is not being performed in the process of S523 (S523: no), it is confirmed whether or not the reach state is set (S525). If it is in the reach state (S525: yes), the process proceeds to the process of S524 to set and display the decoration image part 72 associated with the second effect design group 62 on the decoration image part 72B based on the second decoration image data. I do.
On the other hand, if it is not in the reach state in the process of S525 (S525: no), the process of switching and displaying the decorative image part 72 associated with the second effect design group 62 to the decorative image part 72A of the first decorative image data is performed. (S526), thereby the decorative image portion 72A is displayed on the effect symbol display device 21.
The decoration image section display control processing 1 and the hit/notification informing section control processing are not limited to the effect symbol control device 4342, and may be performed by the sub integrated control device 42.

As shown in FIG. 18A, during the change of the first effect symbol group 61, the decoration image portion 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 is Tatsuyoshi of the left (outward) fighting pose based on the first decoration image data. The decoration image part 71A of is displayed.
On the other hand, while the second effect symbol group 62 is changing, the decoration image portion 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 displays the rightward (outward) tatsuyoshi decoration image portion 72B of the guts pose according to the second ornament image data. ing.
Therefore, while the first and second effect symbol groups 61 and 62 are changing, the decorative image portions 71A and 72B associated with them are opposite to the third effect symbol group 63 (outward). Decorative images that have directionality and are in mutually opposite directions are displayed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the variation of the first effect symbol group 61 is stopped, the decoration image portion 71 accompanying this is switched to the decoration image portion 71B composed of the second decoration image data, and is directed to the right. Tatsuyoshi of the guts pose, that is, the decoration image (inward) directed to the third effect symbol group 63 is displayed.
Next, when the variation of the second effect symbol group 62 is stopped, and the reach state in which the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 are stopped and displayed with the same effect symbol, the second effect symbol group The decoration image portion 72 associated with 62 is the rightward (outward) guts pose Tatsukichi composed of the second decoration image data without being switched, that is, the decoration image portion 72B that is in the opposite direction to the third effect symbol group 63. Is displayed.

According to the present embodiment, the same effect as the previous embodiment can be obtained, and in the reach state in which the first effect symbol group 61 and the second effect symbol group 62 that have stopped fluctuating are made of the same effect symbol, Since the decoration image portion 71 associated with the first effect symbol group 61 and the decoration image portion 72 associated with the second effect symbol group 62 are the same ornament image, it becomes easier for the player to understand the establishment of the reach state, and It will increase the expectation of a big hit. Usually, since the movement is in a form of facing each other and the variation stops, the player does not just face each other when the second production symbol group 62 has stopped varying, and the player intuitively perceives that it is different from (miss). You can
It is possible to do this even when the same effect design does not stop. In that case, by using the look-ahead determination function, it is a change before the reach is established, and by continuously showing such a stop mode. It is also possible to raise the expectation for a big hit.

In each of the above-described embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 15, 18, and 19(a), the first decoration image data is composed of a single leftward facing fighting pose Tatsukichi 71A, 72A. And the same decorative image is commonly displayed regardless of the symbols 61 and 62 (“1 to 9”) of the second effect symbol group, while Tatsuyoshi 71B of a single diagonal rightward guts pose is used as the second decorative image data. , 72B to display the same decorative image in common regardless of the symbols (“1 to 9”) of the first and second effect symbol groups, but not limited to this, FIG. As shown in b), the first decoration image data and the second decoration image data each have a plurality of kinds of decoration images, and the symbols 61 and 62 (“1 to 9 )), a plurality of types of decorative images may be switched. For example, if the effect design is "6", it is Tatsuyoshi of the fighting pose, and if the effect design is "4", it is the karateka Kumayoshi. In this case, in the former embodiment, when the first and second effect symbol groups are stopped, even if the characters of the respective decorative images are different, the images are directed inward. On the other hand, in the latter embodiment, the directionality of the characters of each decorative image is the same in the reach state.

Further, each of the first decoration image data and the second decoration image data is set as data in which the decoration image does not have directionality, and each time it is displayed, it is arranged by the program processing (VDP) or the like into a decoration image having directionality. It may be configured to be displayed as. For example, the first decoration image data is the fighting pose Tatsuyoshi, while the second decoration image data is the guts pose Tatsuyoshi. While the first effect symbol group is changing, the decoration image part that accompanies it displays Tatsuyoshi of the fighting pose of the first ornament image data outward, while the second effect symbol group is changing, the decoration associated with this is displayed. As the image portion, Tatsukichi of the guts pose of the second decoration image data is displayed outward. Then, when the first effect symbol group is stopped, the decoration image portion that accompanies this is switched to Tatsuyoshi of the guts pose of the second decoration image data and is displayed inward, and when the second effect symbol group is stopped, it is accompanied by this. The decoration image portion to be displayed is switched to Tatsuyoshi of the fighting pose of the first decoration image data and is displayed inward. In the latter embodiment, in the reach state, when the first effect symbol group is stopped, the decoration image portion accompanying this is switched to the guts pose Tatsukichi of the second decoration image data and displayed inward, When the second effect symbol group is stopped, the decoration image portion accompanying it is not switched and the outward guts pose Tatsukichi is maintained.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in a pachinko machine, the fluctuation and stop of the first effect symbol group, the second effect symbol group, and the third effect symbol group are "fixed stop" when all three symbol groups are stopped, When the first or second effect symbol group is stopped and the third effect symbol group is changing, the stop of the first or second effect symbol group is "temporary stop". Therefore, the timing of switching the display of the decorative image portion associated with each effect design group to another decorative image data is not limited to the "temporary stop", but may be the "fixed stop". Good.
Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the decorative image portion is not provided in the third effect symbol group, but of course, the decorative image portion may be provided in association with the third effect symbol group. In this case, it is desirable to select and display from the first or second decoration image data.
Further, while the first and second effect symbol groups are changing, both use the first or second decorative image data, and only when the change stops, the first effect symbol group is the other decorative image data, the second effect symbol group. It is conceivable to leave the structure as it is. In this case, it is sufficient to use the same decoration image data during the fluctuation and prepare different decoration image data only when the fluctuation is stopped. Of course, the configuration may be reversed and different decoration image data may be provided only during the variable display, and the same decoration image data may be used when the variation is stopped.
Further, an effect in which the third image data is provided as the decoration image data and the notice effect is switched to the third decoration image data instead of being switched to the first and second other is also conceivable. In this case, it is possible to instantly report that the expectation for a big hit has increased by switching to image data that is different from usual during the variable display or the variable stop display.
In addition, it is conceivable to switch the target using the decoration image data depending on the effect mode in a gaming machine having a plurality of effect modes. For example, the first effect symbol group is the first decorative symbol data when the variable display is the second decorative symbol data when the variable stop, the second effect symbol group is the second decorative symbol data when the variable display is the first decorative symbol data when the variable stop The production mode A, and the first production symbol group is the second decorative symbol data when the variable display is the first decorative symbol data when the variation stop, the second effect symbol group is the first decorative symbol data when the variable display is the second variation stop The production mode B which is the decorative pattern data, and the first production symbol group is the first ornamental symbol data at the time of variable display, and the first ornamental symbol data is the even when the variation is stopped, and the second effect symbol group is the second ornamental symbol data at the time of variable display. It is conceivable to provide a large number of production modes depending on the pattern of how to use the two ornamental pattern data, such as the production mode C which is the first ornamental pattern data when the fluctuation is stopped, and improve the performance output. You can
Furthermore, a predetermined number of game balls are enclosed in the pachinko machine base, the enclosed game balls are launched toward the game area of the game board, the launched game balls are collected, and the collected game balls are launched again. By doing so, it may be applied to an enclosed type pachinko machine that plays a game by circulating a predetermined number of game balls inside.
