Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-042762

With the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is not possible to enhance the interest of the player's game when the movement effect means is moved from the first position to the second position and then returned to the first position.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a gaming machine that enhances the interest of the player's game when the movement effect means is moved from the first position to the second position and then returned to the first position. For the purpose of providing.

(A) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to the claim of the present application is a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, and is a display means capable of displaying an image and a movable movement. The display means includes the effect means and the suggestion effect execution means for executing the suggestion effect suggesting whether or not the control is performed in the advantageous state. The suggestion effect execution means is the first of the moving effect means. After moving from the position to the second position superimposed on the display means, the suggestion effect can be executed in response to returning to the first position, and the move effect means can perform the suggestion effect from the first position to the second position. The mode of returning to the first position after moving toward the position is a first mode and a second mode different from the first mode, as the suggestion effect. The effect of a common mode can be performed over a period of time, and the mode when the moving effect means returns to the first position is the first mode, and the second mode is different from the first mode. The ratio suggested to be controlled to the advantageous state by the suggestion effect differs depending on the embodiment, and the display means moves the movement effect means from the first position to the second position . Ri displayable der special image when, when the special image is displayed when the moving representation section is moved toward the second position from the first position, when the special image is not displayed Compared with the above, the ratio of being controlled to the advantageous state is high .
(1) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to another aspect is a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state or the like) that is advantageous to the player. The first aspect is that the movable effect means (for example, the movable effect member 60, etc.) is provided, and the move effect means moves from the first position to the second position and then returns to the first position. The ratio of being controlled to the advantageous state differs between the case of the above-described aspect and the case of the second aspect different from the first aspect (for example, the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position). The mode of returning to the evacuation position after moving is a case of returning while rotating as in the movable object notice effects YPA4 to YPA7, and a case of returning without rotating as in the movable object notice effects YPA1 to YPA3. Different expectations for big hits, etc.).

(2) In the game machine of (1) above, the combination of the mode in which the movement effect means moves from the first position to the second position and the mode in which the movement effect means returns to the first position is the first. The ratio controlled to the advantageous state differs between the case of the combination of 1 and the case of the second combination different from the first combination (for example, in the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted). If only attention is paid, when the movable effect member 60 rotates, the big hit expectation is higher than when it does not rotate, and when the light emitter flashes, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the flash does not light. Paying attention to the effect mode from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, the movable effect member 60 when the movable effect member 60 retracts, depending on whether or not the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances. Even if it does not rotate, the expectation of a big hit may be higher than when it rotates, and even if the light emitter does not light the flash when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the expectation of a big hit may be higher than when the flash lights. Things, etc.)

In such a configuration, by paying attention to the combination of the mode when the moving effect means moves and the mode when returning, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player's game when the moving effect means returns after moving. it can.

(3) In the game machine according to (1) or (2), the movement effect means is a display device (for example, a sub image display device 65 or the like), and the display device moves from the first position to the second position. The operation mode when returning to the first position is the same, but the display mode of the display device when returning is different from the first display mode and the first display mode. The ratio controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the display mode of 2 (for example, as in the modification 2, the character CA1 jumps out from the sub image display device 65 to the image display device 5 in the pan-eating competition effect. When a production image of a successful mode such as holding the pan PA1 displayed on the image display device 5 with the mouth is displayed, a definite special symbol that becomes a jackpot symbol and a definite decorative symbol that constitutes a jackpot combination are derived. While the player is recognizable that the variable display result is a "big hit", the character CA1 cannot jump out from the sub-image display device 65 to the image display device 5 due to the pan-eating competition effect, and the image is displayed. When a production image of a failure mode such that the pan PA1 displayed on the display device 5 cannot be held by mouth is displayed, a definite special symbol that is a lost symbol and a definite decorative symbol that constitutes a reach loss combination are derived. , The player may recognizablely notify that the variable display result is "missing", etc.).

In such a configuration, by paying attention to the display mode of the display device, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player's game when the movement effect means moves and then returns.

(4) In any of the above (1) to (3), the gaming machine is further provided with an effect means different from the movement effect means (for example, a light emitting body such as a decorative LED built in the movable effect member 60). When the moving effect means moves from the first position to the second position and then returns to the first position, the effect mode of the effect means is the first effect mode, and the first effect mode. In the case of the second effect mode different from the effect mode, the ratio of being controlled to the advantageous state is different (for example, when the light emitting body flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted as in the movable object notice effect YPA6). In this case, the expectation of a big hit is higher than in the case where the flash is not lit as in the movable object notice effect YPA4).

In such a configuration, by paying attention to the production mode of the production means different from the movement production means, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player's game when the movement production means returns after moving.

(5) In any of the game machines (1) to (4) above, when the movement effect means moves from the first position to the second position and then returns to the first position, a power source is supplied. When the power is cut off, the movement effect means is directed to the first position in a common manner after the power is turned on again, regardless of the mode when the movement effect means returns before the power is cut off. Return (for example, as in Modification 3, if the power is cut off when the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position, it is movable before the power is cut off. Regardless of the mode when the effect member 60 returns, the movable effect member 60 may be returned to the retracted position in a common mode after the power is turned on again).

In such a configuration, the processing load when the power is turned on again can be reduced.

The table data to be used is stored.

The RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 may be a backup RAM in which a part or all of the RAM 102 is backed up by a backup power source created on a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, the contents of a part or all of the RAM 102 are stored for a predetermined period. In particular, at least the game state, that is, the data corresponding to the control state of the game control means and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls may be stored in the backup RAM. The data according to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for recovering the control state before the occurrence of the power failure or the like based on the data when the data is restored after the power failure or the like occurs. Further, the data corresponding to the control state and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as the data indicating the progress state of the game. In such a RAM 102, various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the like are stored.

The effect control board 12 includes an effect control CPU 120 that performs control operations according to a program, a ROM 121 that stores an effect control program, fixed data, and the like, a RAM 122 that provides a work area for the effect control CPU 120, and an image display device.

And are installed.

As an example, in the effect control board 12, the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect control program read from the ROM 121, thereby executing the process for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric components. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 reads the fixed data from the ROM 121, the effect control CPU 120 writes various variation data to the RAM 122, and the effect control CPU 120 temporarily stores the variation data in the RAM 122.

The effect control CPU 120, ROM 121, and RAM 122 may be included in the one-chip effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board 12. The effect control board 12 has wiring for transmitting a video signal to the image display device 5 and wiring for transmitting an effect sound signal as an information signal indicating sound number data to the voice control board 13. A wiring or the like for transmitting an illumination signal as an information signal indicating lamp data is connected to the lamp control board 14. Further, the effect control board 12 transmits a drive command signal as an information signal indicating a predetermined drive command command to the motor drive circuit 16 for driving the motor 61 for the movable effect member that operates the movable effect member 60. Wiring for this is also connected.

In the effect control board 12, for example, a random number circuit 124 or the like counts updatable numerical data indicating various random number values used for controlling the effect operation. The random number used to control such an effect operation is also called an effect random number.

The ROM 121 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2 stores various data tables and the like used for controlling the effect operation in addition to the program for effect control. For example, the ROM 121 contains a plurality of determination tables prepared for the effect control CPU 120 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings, table data constituting the determination tables, pattern data constituting various effect control patterns, and the like. It is remembered. Various data used for controlling the effect operation are stored in the RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12.

The display control unit 123 mounted on the effect control board 12 determines the control content of the display operation in the image display device 5 based on the display control command or the like from the effect control PCU 120. For example, the display control unit 123 controls the variable display of the decorative pattern and various effect displays by determining the switching timing of the effect image to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. As an example, the display control unit 121 may be equipped with a VDP, a CGROM, a VRAM, an LCD drive circuit, or the like. The VDP may be a GPU, GCL, or a microprocessor for image processing generally referred to as DSP. The CGROM may be, for example, a non-rewritable semiconductor memory, a rewritable semiconductor memory such as a flash memory, or a non-volatile recording medium such as a magnetic memory or an optical memory.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a predetermined game is performed using a game ball as a game medium, and a predetermined game value can be given based on the game result. As an example of a game using a game ball, a launch motor included in a predetermined ball launcher is provided based on a predetermined operation of a ball striking operation handle installed at the lower right of the front surface of the housing of the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a result, a game ball as a game medium is launched toward the game area. When a game ball that has flowed down the game area passes through the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the game ball is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. As a result, the first starting condition is satisfied. After that, based on the fact that the first start condition was satisfied due to, for example, the end of the previous special figure game, the big hit game state, or the small hit game state, the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A was used. The special figure game is started.

Further, when a starting prize is generated in which the game ball passes through the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. The second starting condition is satisfied. After that, the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B was used based on the fact that the second start condition was satisfied, for example, by the end of the previous special figure game, the big hit game state, or the small hit game state. The special figure game is started. However, when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normally open state or the closed state as the second variable state, it is difficult or impossible for the game ball to pass through the second starting winning opening.

Based on the fact that the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2, the normal symbol start condition for executing the variable display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 20 is established. After that, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started based on the fact that the normal symbol start condition for starting the variable display of the normal symbol is satisfied, for example, that the previous normal symbol game has ended. In this normal symbol game, when a predetermined time elapses after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, the confirmed normal symbol, which is the variable display result of the normal symbol, is stopped and displayed. At this time, if a specific normal symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol is "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the normal symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "normal symbol loss". In response to the fact that the variable display result of the normal symbol is "per normal figure", the opening control and the expansion opening control are performed so that the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball device 6B becomes the tilting position. , Closing control or normal opening control that returns to the vertical position after a predetermined time is performed.

When the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A is started, or when the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B is started, it is special. Whether or not the variable display result of the symbol is to be a "big hit" as a predetermined specific display result is determined before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Then, the variation pattern is determined at a predetermined ratio based on the determination of the variable display result, and the effect control command for designating the variable display result and the variation pattern is the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 shown in FIG. Is transmitted from to the effect control board 12.

After the special figure game is started based on the determination of the variable display result and the fluctuation pattern, for example, when a predetermined variable display time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern elapses, a definite special symbol that becomes the variable display result is derived. Is displayed. "Left", "middle", and "right" decorations arranged in the display area of the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, a variable display of a decorative symbol different from the special symbol is performed. In the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B, the definite special that results in the variable display of the special symbol. When the symbol is derived and displayed, the image display device 5 derives and displays a definite decorative symbol that is a variable display result of the decorative symbol.

When a predetermined jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as the variable display result of the special symbol, the variable display result becomes "big hit", and the jackpot gaming state is controlled as a specific gaming state which is advantageous for the player. That is, whether or not the variable display game state is controlled corresponds to whether or not the variable display result becomes a "big hit", and is determined before the variable display result is derived and displayed. When a small hit symbol different from the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as a variable display result of the special symbol, the variable display result becomes "small hit" and is controlled to the small hit game state as a special game state different from the specific game state. Will be done. As a variable display result of the special symbol, neither the big hit symbol nor the small hit symbol is derived and displayed, and when the lost symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result is "missed".

As an example, a special symbol showing the numbers "3", "5", and "7" is a big hit symbol, a special symbol showing the number "1" is a small hit symbol, and a special symbol showing the "-" symbol is used. It is a lost pattern. It should be noted that each symbol such as the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol, and the lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Alternatively, the special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a lost symbol.

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening is opened and the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the first state which is advantageous for the player. Then, a round game is executed in which the large winning opening is continuously opened during a predetermined period or a period until a predetermined number of game balls enter the large winning opening and a winning ball is generated. During the period other than the execution period of such a round game, the large winning opening is closed, and the winning ball is difficult or impossible to generate. When a game ball enters the large winning opening, the winning ball is detected by the count switch 23, and a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball each time the winning ball is detected. The round game in the jackpot game state is repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit is reached.

When the special figure display result is "big hit", the case where the big hit type is any of "non-probable change", "probable change", and "probable change" is included. For example, as a variable display result of a special symbol, when the jackpot symbol indicating the number "3" is derived and displayed, the jackpot type is "non-probable", and when the jackpot symbol indicating the number "7" is derived and displayed, the jackpot is displayed. When the type is "probability change" and the jackpot symbol indicating the number "5" is derived and displayed, the jackpot type is "probability". When the jackpot type is "non-probability change" or "probability variation", the upper limit time for setting the special variable winning ball device 7 as the first state advantageous to the player as a round game in the jackpot game state is relatively long. A normal open round is performed, which is the time. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "abrupt", a short-term open round is executed in which the upper limit time for setting the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state is relatively short as a round game in the jackpot game state. Will be done. The jackpot game state in which the normal open round is executed is also referred to as the first specific game state. The jackpot game state in which the short-term open round is executed is also referred to as the second specific game state.

In the jackpot game state when the jackpot type is "probability", the upper limit time for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player in the short-term open round is longer than the first period in the normal open round. Will be a short second period. In the short-term opening round, the same control as in the case where the normal opening round is executed may be performed except that the opening period of the large winning opening is controlled to be the second period. Alternatively, when a short-term open round is executed, the number of executions of the round game may be set to the number of second rounds, which is less than the number of executions of the normal open round. That is, the jackpot game state in which the short-term open round is executed changes to the first state in which the game ball easily passes through the jackpot in each round game, as compared with the jackpot game state in which the normal open round is executed. The second period, which is shorter than one period, and the number of second rounds, in which the number of round games executed is less than the number of first rounds, may be at least one of them.

When such a short-term open round is executed, a predetermined number of balls can be obtained if a game ball wins in the large winning opening. However, due to the fact that the opening period of the big winning opening is the second period, etc., it becomes a big hit game state in which no balls can be substantially obtained.

When a predetermined small hit symbol is derived and displayed as the variable display result of the special symbol, the variable display result becomes "small hit" and is controlled to the small hit game state as the special game state. In this small hit game state, as in the short-term open round, the special variable winning ball device 7 performs a variable winning operation in which the large winning opening is opened and changed to the first state advantageous to the player. That is, in the small hit game state, for example, the operation of setting the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state over the second period is repeatedly executed. After the small hit game state ends, the game state before the variable display result becomes "small hit" may be maintained.

After the jackpot game state ends, the probability of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" may be controlled to a probability variation state higher than the normal state based on the establishment of a predetermined probability variation control condition. The probabilistic state is controlled so as to continue until a predetermined probabilistic end condition such as the execution of the variable display a predetermined number of times or the start of the next big hit game state is satisfied. Further, after the jackpot game state is completed, the average variable display time may be controlled to a shorter time state than the normal state. The time saving state is controlled so as to continue until one of the time saving end condition of either the execution of the variable display of a predetermined number of times or the start of the next big hit game state is satisfied first. ..

As an example, when the jackpot type is "non-probability variation", the gaming state becomes the time saving state after the jackpot gaming state ends. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "probability change" or "probability change", the game state becomes the probability change state after the jackpot game state ends. After the small hit game state ends, the game state before the small hit game state is continued. However, when the special figure game in which the variable display result is "small hit" is executed, if the number of times the special figure game is executed in the probability change state or the time saving state reaches a predetermined number, after the end of the small hit game state May end in a probabilistic state or a time saving state and return to a normal state.

In the probabilistic state or the time saving state, the normal variable winning ball device 6B is changed into the first variable state and the second variable state in an advantageous changing mode in which the game ball easily passes through the second starting winning opening as compared with the normal state. For example, the normal symbol display 20 controls the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the normal symbol game to be shorter than that in the normal state, and the probability that the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "per ordinary symbol" in each normal symbol game. The tilt control time for controlling the tilt of the movable wing piece in the normal variable winning ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "per normal figure" is set to be longer than in the normal state. The normal variable winning ball device 6B may be changed to the first variable state and the second variable state in an advantageous change mode by the control of lengthening the length and the control of increasing the number of tilts as compared with the normal state. It should be noted that any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed. As described above, the control for changing the normally variable winning ball device 6B into the first variable state and the second variable state in an advantageous changing mode is called high opening control. By being controlled to such a probabilistic state or a time saving state, the time required for the next variable display result to become a "big hit" is shortened, and the special gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

Even when the probability variation control is performed in the probability variation state, the high opening control may not be performed. For example, if the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probability" when the high opening control is not performed, the probability changing state is reached after the end of the big hit game state and the probability change control is performed, but the high opening is performed. It may not be controlled. When the variable display result is "big hit" and the game state before the big hit type is "sudden probability" is a probability change state or a time reduction state and the time reduction control accompanied by the high opening control is performed, the big hit game state ends. After that, the time saving control accompanied by the high opening control may be performed.

The game balls used as a game medium in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the recorded information of the scores given according to the number of the balls may have valuable value that can be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes according to the quantity, for example. Just do it. Alternatively, the recorded information of these game balls and scores may have valuable value that can be used for another game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, although it cannot be exchanged for a special prize or a general prize.

Further, the game value that can be given by the pachinko game machine 1 is not limited to paying out the game ball as a prize ball and giving points, for example, controlling to a big hit game state or a special game state such as a probability change state. Controlling, the maximum number of round games that can be executed in the jackpot game state is the number of the first round, which is larger than the number of the second round, and the maximum number of variable displays that can be executed in the time saving state is from the second number. The number of consecutive chans, which is the number of times that the jackpot probability in the probability variation state is higher than the second probability, and that the jackpot game state is repeatedly controlled without being controlled by the normal state. May include a game situation that is advantageous to the player, such as part or all of the number of first consecutive chans being greater than the number of second consecutive chans.

In the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A , Of the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started corresponding to the start of any special figure game. Then, the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the end of the variable display due to the stop display of the fixed decorative symbol in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Then, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be a predetermined reach mode.

Here, the reach mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 form a part of the jackpot combination, the decorative symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed continue to change. It is a display mode in which all or a part of the decorative symbols are changed in synchronization while forming all or a part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in some of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right", when the decorative symbols constituting the predetermined jackpot combination are still displayed. In the remaining decorative pattern display area that is not stopped, the decorative pattern is fluctuating, or all or part of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. This is a display mode in which the decorative design fluctuates synchronously while forming all or part of the jackpot combination.

Further, in response to the reach mode, the fluctuation speed of the decorative symbol is reduced, a character image different from the decorative symbol is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and the display mode of the background image is changed. By causing the display, reproducing and displaying a moving image different from the decorative pattern, or changing the variation mode of the decorative pattern, an effect operation different from that before the reach mode may be executed. Such an effect operation such as a character image display, a change in the display mode of the background image, a reproduction display of a moving image, and a change in the variation mode of the decorative pattern is called a reach effect display. In the reach effect, not only the display operation on the image display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation on the light emitting body such as the game effect lamp 9, and the like are the operation modes before the reach mode is reached. It may be included that the operation mode is different from that of the above.

As the effect operation in the reach effect, it is sufficient that a plurality of types of effect patterns having different operation modes are prepared in advance. Then, the possibility of becoming a "big hit" differs depending on the production mode in each reach production. That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" can be different depending on which of the plurality of types of reach effects is executed. In this embodiment, as an example, reach effects such as normal, super A, and super B are preset. Then, when the reach effect of the super reach such as super A or super B is executed, the variable display result is more likely to be a "big hit" than when the normal reach effect is executed. Further, among the reach effects of Super Reach, when a specific reach effect such as Super B is executed, the expectation of a big hit is higher than when the reach effect of Super A is executed.

During the variable display of the decorative symbol, unlike the variable display effect such as the reach effect, the effect different from the variable display operation of the decorative pattern, such as displaying an effect image such as a predetermined character image or a message image, etc. Depending on the operation, a notice effect is executed to notify the player that the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be the reach mode and that the variable display result may be a "big hit". Sometimes. The effect operation that becomes the advance notice effect is the variable display mode of the decorative symbol after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started in all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Is executed before the reach mode is reached. Further, the advance notice effect for notifying that the variable display result may be a "big hit" may include one executed after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is changed to the reach mode. The effect operation serving as the advance notice effect may be such that the variable display time of the special symbol does not change depending on whether or not it is executed.

As a notice effect by an effect operation different from the variable display operation of such a decorative pattern, for example, a movable object advance notice effect for operating the movable effect member 60 is executed. The movable object notice effect is a notice effect in which the movable effect member 60 is operated in a predetermined effect mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern.

FIG. 3 shows the determination ratio of the movable object advance notice effect by the movable object advance notice effect determination table stored in the ROM 121. The movable object notice effect determination table determines whether or not to execute the movable object advance notice effect that announces the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit", and determines the type of the movable object advance notice effect when executing. It is a table that is referenced to do so. In the movable object notice effect determination table, the numerical value to be compared with the random number value for determining the movable object advance notice effect is the movable object advance notice effect according to the type of the fluctuation pattern so as to be the determination ratio shown in FIG. 3 (A). Is assigned to any one of the movable object notice effects YPA1 to YPA7, which is an effect pattern of the movable object advance notice effect. The determination value is not limited to the one to which the determination value is assigned according to the type of the variation pattern, and the determination value may be assigned according to the individual variation pattern, and the variable display result or the variable display mode may be used. The determined value may be assigned accordingly. When assigning a determined value according to the variable display result, for example, the determined value may be assigned according to whether the variable display result is "big hit", "small hit", or "missing", and the variable display When the result is "big hit", the determined value may be assigned according to whether the big hit type is "non-probable change", "probable change", or "probable change". Further, when assigning a determined value according to the variable display mode, for example, whether or not super reach is executed, and when super reach is achieved, whether it is "super A" or "super B". The determined value may be assigned accordingly. In this way, in the movable object notice effect, the variable display result becomes a "big hit" depending on which of the plurality of modes of the movable object advance notice effect is executed, and the variable display result is controlled to a probabilistic state. It suffices to suggest a ratio that is controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, such as the execution of reach. Here, advantageous states that are advantageous to the player include, for example, controlling to a jackpot gaming state, controlling to a special gaming state such as a probability variation state, and the upper limit of the number of round games that can be executed in the jackpot gaming state. The number of first rounds is larger than the number of two rounds, the maximum number of variable displays that can be executed in the time saving state is the first number, which is larger than the second number, and the jackpot probability in the probability variation state is higher than the second probability. The first probability is high, and the number of consecutive chans, which is the number of times that the jackpot game state is repeatedly controlled without being controlled in the normal state, is the number of first consecutive chans, which is larger than the number of second consecutive chans. It suffices if it includes a game situation that is advantageous to the player, such as a part or all.

FIG. 3B shows an effect mode in the movable object advance notice effect determined by using the movable object advance notice effect determination table. In this embodiment, the movable object notice effects YPA4 to YPA7, which rotate the movable effect member 60 when the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position, are rotated. Movable object notice effects YPA1 to YPA3 are set so as not to prevent them.

Further, in this embodiment, when the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position, the light emitting body such as the decorative LED built in the movable effect member 60 is flash-lit. The movable object notice effects YPA6 and YPA7 in the mode of causing the flash to light up, and YPA1 to YPA5 in the mode of not lighting the flash are set. Here, the flash lighting is a lighting mode in which a light emitting body such as a decorative LED is made to emit light like a strobe of a camera.

Further, in this embodiment, when the movable effect member 60 is operating, that is, when the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position, Movable object notice effects YPA3, YPA5, and YPA7 in which the effect is displayed on the image display device 5, and movable object notice effects YPA1, YPA2, YPA4, and YPA6 in which the effect is not displayed are set. Here, the effect means, for example, displaying a blinking predetermined image or a shining predetermined image in the display area around the movable effect member 60 in the display area of the image display device 5 in accordance with the movement of the movable effect member 60. Is.

Further, in this embodiment, the movable object notice effects YPA2 to YPA7 in which the movable effect member 60 moves to the advance position, and the movable effect member 60 does not move to the advance position but reaches a part of the advance position on the way. A movable object notice effect YPA1 that moves only is set. For example, in the movable object advance notice effect YPA1, by swinging the movable effect member 60 up and down at a partial advance position, it may be suggested that the movable effect member 60 may move to the advance position. Good.

That is, the movable object advance notice effects YPA1 to YPA7 determine whether or not the movable effect member 60 moves to the advance position, whether or not the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, and whether or not the movable effect member 60 is displayed. Any combination of effect modes such as whether or not the movable effect member 60 rotates when the movable effect member 60 is retracted and whether or not the light emitter flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted may be executed.

In the setting example shown in FIG. 3A, the movable object notice effect is executed only when the type of the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of super reach (loss) or the fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit). It is set, and if it is a fluctuation pattern of super reach (loss), the moving object notice effect is executed at a rate of 21%, and if it is a fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit), it is possible at a rate of 99%. The animal notice effect is set to be executed. With such settings, when the movable object notice effect is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the movable object advance notice effect is not executed.

Further, in the setting example shown in FIG. 3A, among the effect modes in the movable object notice effect, only the effect mode of whether or not the movable effect member 60 rotates when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is different, and other effects. Comparing the movable object advance notice effect YPA2 and the movable object advance notice effect YPA4, which have a common aspect, in the case of a variation pattern of super reach (loss), the movable object advance notice effect YPA4 in which the movable object advance member 60 rotates. Rather, it is easier to determine the movable object notice effect YPA2 in which the movable effect member 60 does not rotate, and in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit), it is easier to determine the movable object advance notice effect YPA4 than the movable object advance notice effect YPA2. .. With such settings, when the movable object notice effect YPA4 is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the movable object advance notice effect YPA2 is executed. In other words, when the movable effect member 60 rotates when the movable effect member 60 retracts, the expectation of a big hit is higher than when the movable effect member 60 does not rotate. The same can be said for the relationship between the movable object notice effect YPA3 and the movable object advance notice effect YPA5.

In such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the movable effect member 60 rotates when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, and it is possible to enhance the interest.

Further, in the setting example shown in FIG. 3A, among the effect modes in the movable object notice effect, only the effect mode of whether or not the light emitting body flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is different, and other effect modes are different. Comparing the movable object notice effect YPA4 and the movable object advance notice effect YPA6, which are common modes, in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (loss), the light emitter flashes on the movable object advance notice effect YPA6. , The moving object notice effect YPA4 in which the light emitting body does not light up with a flash is likely to be determined, and in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit), the movable object advance notice effect YPA6 is more likely to be determined than the movable object advance notice effect YPA4. When the movable object notice effect YPA6 is executed by such a setting or the like, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the movable object advance notice effect YPA4 is executed. In other words, when the light emitter flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the expectation of a big hit is higher than when the flash does not light. The same can be said for the relationship between the movable object notice effect YPA5 and the movable object advance notice effect YPA7.

In such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the light emitting body flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, and it is possible to enhance the interest.

As described above, in this embodiment, in the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, in addition to the effect mode of the movable effect member 60 itself such as whether or not the movable effect member 60 rotates, the light emitting body is flash-lit. An effect mode of an effect means other than the movable effect member 60, such as whether or not to perform the operation, is included.

Further, in the setting example shown in FIG. 3A, among the effect modes in the movable object notice effect, the effect mode of whether or not the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, and the movable mode. Comparing the movable object notice effects YPA2 to YPA7, which have different combinations with the movable effect member 60 and the effect mode of the light emitting body when the effect member 60 is retracted, if the pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach (loss), the movable effect is produced. Among the movable object notice effects having the same effect mode of the movable effect member 60 and the light emitting body when the member 60 is retracted, the movable object advance notice effect YPA3 in which the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances. , The effect is not displayed, and it is easy to be determined by the animal notice effect YPA2, and in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit), it is more likely to be determined by the movable object advance notice effect YPA3 than the movable object advance notice effect YPA2. With such settings, when the movable object notice effect YPA3 is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the movable object advance notice effect YPA2 is executed. In other words, if the effect of the movable effect member 60 and the light emitting body is the same when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances. The jackpot expectation is higher than when it is not displayed. The same can be said about the relationship between the movable object notice effect YPA4 and the movable object advance notice effect YPA5, and the relationship between the movable object advance notice effect YPA6 and the movable object advance notice effect YPA7.

Further, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss), the image display device 5 has the same effect mode of the light emitting body when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances. Although the effect is displayed in, the movable effect member 60 does not rotate when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. The effect is not displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, but the movable effect member 60 does not rotate. It is easy to be determined by the animal notice effect YPA4 in which the movable effect member 60 rotates when the 60 is retracted, and in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit), it is more likely to be determined by the movable object advance notice effect YPA3 than the movable object advance notice effect YPA4. .. With such settings, when the movable object notice effect YPA3 is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the movable object advance notice effect YPA4 is executed. In other words, if the effect mode of the light emitting body when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is the same, the image is displayed from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances even if the movable effect member 60 does not rotate when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. When the effect is displayed on the device 5, the movable effect member 60 rotates when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, but the effect is not displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances. , The big hit expectation becomes high.

Further, in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (loss), an image is displayed from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances among the movable object notice effects in which the effect mode of the movable effect member 60 when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is the same. The effect is displayed on the device 5, but the light emitter does not flash when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. The effect is not displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, but the movable effect is more than the movable object notice effect YPA5. It is easy to be determined by the animal notice effect YPA6 in which the light emitting body flashes when the member 60 is retracted, and in the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (big hit), it is more likely to be determined by the movable object advance notice effect YPA5 than the movable object advance notice effect YPA6. .. With such settings, when the movable object notice effect YPA5 is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the movable object advance notice effect YPA6 is executed. In other words, if the effect mode of the movable effect member 60 when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is the same, the image is taken from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances even if the light emitting body does not light the flash when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. When the effect is displayed on the display device 5, the light emitter flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, but the effect is not displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances. , The big hit expectation becomes high.

As described above, in this embodiment, if attention is paid only to the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the jackpot expectation is higher when the movable effect member 60 rotates than when it does not rotate, and the light emitting body. When the flash lights up, the expectation of a big hit is higher than when the flash does not light up. However, paying attention to the effect mode from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, depending on whether or not the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, the movable effect member 60 moves backward. Even if the member 60 does not rotate, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when it rotates, and even if the light emitter does not flash when the movable effect member 60 retracts, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the flash lights. There is. That is, in this embodiment, when attention is paid only to the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted by combining the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is advanced and the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. The big hit expectation may be reversed.

In such a configuration, attention should be paid to the combination of the effect mode of the image display device 5 when the movable effect member 60 is advanced and the effect mode of the movable effect member 60 and the light emitting body when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. It is possible to enhance the interest of the movable effect member 60 when it is retracted.

Further, in the setting example shown in FIG. 3A, the movable object notice effect YPA7 is set to be executed only in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit). With such settings, when the movable object notice effect YPA7 is executed, it is definitively notified that the variable display result will be a "big hit".

FIG. 4 shows an example of an effect operation in which the movable object notice effect YPA3 is executed in a variation pattern in which a variable display result is derived after the super reach effect is executed. In this effect operation example, after the normal reach effect is executed based on the variable display mode of the decorative symbol being the reach mode, the movable effect member 60 is used in the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 4 (A). The advance operation of the movable object notice effect YPA3 that advances to the front of the display area is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position near the upper edge of the display area, which is the initial position, to the advanced position that covers the "middle" decorative pattern display area 5C in front of the display area. It suffices to move and advance in the movable production direction. With the advancement of the movable effect member 60, an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA3 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5.

After that, as shown in FIG. 4B, the retracting operation of the movable object notice effect YPA3 in which the movable effect member 60 retracts from the front surface of the display area in the image display device 5 is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. As the movable effect member 60 retracts, the movable effect member 60 moves without rotating, and an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA3 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and the movable effect member 60 displays the effect image. Light emitters such as built-in decorative LEDs are normally lit.

In this way, when the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances due to the execution of the movable object advance notice effect, the movable effect member 60 and the light emission when the movable effect member 60 is retracted thereafter. Depending on the effect mode of the body, for example, it may be definitively notified that the variable display result will be a "big hit" as in the movable object notice effect YPA7, so that the effect when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is produced. It is possible to draw attention to the aspect and enhance the interest.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 4C and 4D, the super reach effect is executed. The super reach effect may be, for example, an effect in which the ally character CA1 plays against the enemy character CB1. Then, when the ally character CA1 wins the battle with the enemy character CB1 in the battle production, the definite special symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol and the definite decorative symbol that constitutes the jackpot combination are derived, and the variable display result is ". The player can recognize that it has become a big hit. On the other hand, when the ally character CA1 loses the battle with the enemy character CB1 in the battle production, the definite special symbol that becomes the lost symbol and the definite decorative symbol that constitutes the reach loss combination are derived, and the variable display result is ". The player may be able to recognize that the game has been lost.

That is, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "loss", it means that the player lost the match as shown in FIG. 4 (E1), for example. The effect image to be shown is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of the reach loss combination as shown in FIG. 4 (F1) is derived. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit", it means that the match as shown in FIG. 4 (E2) is won, for example. The effect image to be shown is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of a jackpot combination as shown in FIG. 4 (F2) is derived.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an effect operation in which the movable object notice effect YPA4 is executed in a variation pattern in which a variable display result is derived after the super reach effect is executed. In this effect operation example, after the normal reach effect is executed based on the variable display mode of the decorative symbol being the reach mode, the movable effect member 60 is used in the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 5 (A). The advance operation of the movable object notice effect YPA4 that advances to the front of the display area is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position near the upper edge of the display area, which is the initial position, to the advanced position that covers the "middle" decorative pattern display area 5C in front of the display area. It suffices to move and advance in the movable production direction. With the advancement of the movable effect member 60, a normal effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA 4 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. In this effect operation example, since the effect image is not displayed with the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA4, for example, the effect image of the normal reach effect is displayed as the normal effect image.

After that, as shown in FIG. 5B, the retracting operation of the movable object notice effect YPA4 in which the movable effect member 60 retracts from the front surface of the display area in the image display device 5 is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. As the movable effect member 60 retracts, the movable effect member 60 moves while rotating, and a normal effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA3 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and the movable effect member 60 is displayed. Light emitters such as decorative LEDs built into the unit are normally lit.

In this way, even if the effect is not displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances due to the execution of the movable object advance notice effect, the movable effect member 60 and the light emission when the movable effect member 60 is retracted thereafter. Depending on the effect mode of the body, for example, the expectation of a big hit may be relatively high as in the movable object notice effect YPA6. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. Can be enhanced.

After that, the super reach effect is executed as shown in FIGS. 5 (C) and 5 (D), as in the example of the effect operation shown in FIG. Then, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "loss", it means that the player lost the match as shown in FIG. 5 (E1), for example. The effect image to be shown is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of the reach loss combination as shown in FIG. 5 (F1) is derived. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit", it means that the match as shown in FIG. 5 (E2) is won, for example. The effect image to be shown is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of a jackpot combination as shown in FIG. 5 (F2) is derived.

FIG. 6 shows an example of an effect operation in which the movable object notice effect YPA7 is executed in a variable pattern in which a variable display result of “big hit” is derived after the super reach effect is executed. In this effect operation example, after the normal reach effect is executed based on the variable display mode of the decorative symbol being the reach mode, the movable effect member 60 is used in the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 6 (A). The advance operation of the movable object notice effect YPA7 that advances to the front of the display area is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position near the upper edge of the display area, which is the initial position, to the advanced position that covers the "middle" decorative pattern display area 5C in front of the display area. It suffices to move and advance in the movable production direction. With the advancement of the movable effect member 60, an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA 7 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5.

In this way, the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances due to the execution of the movable object advance notice effect, and when the movable effect member 60 is subsequently retracted, the movable effect member 60 rotates and the light emitting body. When the flash lights up, it is definitely notified that the variable display result is a "big hit".

After that, as shown in FIG. 6B, the retracting operation of the movable object notice effect YPA7 in which the movable effect member 60 retracts from the front surface of the display area in the image display device 5 is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. As the movable effect member 60 retracts, the movable effect member 60 moves while rotating, and an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA3 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and is built into the movable effect member 60. A light emitter such as a decorative LED is flash-lit.

After that, the super reach effect is executed as shown in FIGS. 6 (C) and 6 (D), as in the example of the effect operation shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Then, since the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit) was specified based on the fact that the special figure display result was determined to be "big hit", it indicates that the match as shown in FIG. 6 (E) was won, for example. The effect image is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of the jackpot combination as shown in FIG. 6 (F) is derived.

FIG. 7 shows an example of an effect operation in which the movable object notice effect YPA1 is executed in a variation pattern in which a variable display result is derived after the super reach effect is executed. In this effect operation example, after the normal reach effect is executed based on the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becoming the reach mode, as shown in FIG. 7A, a predetermined edge of the display area of the image display device 5 The movable object advance notice effect YPA1 is executed by the movable effect member 60 swinging at the partially advanced position corresponding to the portion. At this time, if the movable effect member 60 operates so as to swing, for example, in the vicinity of the boundary portion between the inside and the outside of the display area formed by the upper edge portion of the display area in the image display device 5. Good. As the vicinity of the boundary portion of the display area, the movable effect member 60 may be in a state of hanging on the front surface of the boundary portion, or in a state of advancing to the inside of the display area so as not to hang on the front surface of the boundary portion. You may.

After that, as shown in FIG. 7B, the retracting operation of the movable object notice effect YPA1 in which the movable effect member 60 partially retracts from the advanced position is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. As the movable effect member 60 retracts, the movable effect member 60 moves without rotating, and a normal effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA3 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and the movable effect member 60 is displayed. A light emitter such as a decorative LED built into the 60 is normally lit.

In this way, when the movable effect member 60 swings at a partial advance position due to the execution of the movable object advance notice effect, it can be expected that the movable effect member 60 moves to the advance position. Further, when the movable effect member 60 may swing while only partially moving to the advance position as in the movable object notice effect YPA1, the movable object 60 moves to the advance position. Also in the advance notice effects YPA2 to YPA7, when the movable effect member 60 partially moves to the advance position, it may swing and then move to the advance position. With such a configuration, the movable effect member 60 swings at a partially advanced position, so that the effect of expecting the movable effect member 60 to move to the advanced position can be enhanced.

When the movable effect member 60 moves only to a partial advance position, the return distance and time of the movable effect member 60 are short. Therefore, even if the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 returns is different, the game Since it is difficult or impossible for a person to recognize, in this embodiment, the movable object advance notice effect corresponding to the movement of the movable effect member 60 only to a partial advance position is possible. Only the effect mode of the animal notice effect YPA1 is prepared, and when the movable object effect member 60 returns only to the partially advanced position, the mode is always the same, and the jackpot expectation degree is not suggested by the return method.

After that, the super reach effect is executed as shown in FIGS. 7 (C) and 7 (D), as in the example of the effect operation shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Then, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "loss", it means that the player lost the match as shown in FIG. 7 (E1), for example. The effect image to be shown is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of the reach loss combination as shown in FIG. 7 (F1) is derived. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit", it means that the match as shown in FIG. 7 (E2) is won, for example. The effect image to be shown is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of a jackpot combination as shown in FIG. 7 (F2) is derived.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment, and is a part described in the above-described embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may have the structure of.

(Modification 1) In the above embodiment, the movable object notice effect of a plurality of modes having different jackpot expectations includes the movable object advance notice effect YPA7 that deterministically notifies that the variable display result is "big hit". Explained as a thing. On the other hand, the movable object notice effect does not include the one that deterministically notifies that the variable display result is a "big hit", and the variable display result is different from the movable object advance notice effect. A jackpot confirmation effect that deterministically notifies that a "big hit" will occur may be executed. Then, even in the big hit confirmation effect, an effect such that the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advance position and then returns to the retracted position may be executed as in the movable object notice effect. In that case, the mode in which the movable effect member 60 returns toward the evacuation position in the jackpot confirmation effect may be different from any of the modes in the plurality of modes of the movable object notice effect.

In FIG. 8, in the variation pattern of the super reach (big hit) from which the variable display result of the “big hit” is derived after the super reach effect is executed, the movable object notice effect YPA7 and the big hit confirmation effect of the first modification are executed. An example of the production operation is shown. In the first modification, for the movable object advance notice effect YPA7, for example, in order not to definitively notify that the variable display result is a “big hit”, for example, the movable object advance notice by the movable object advance notice effect determination table shown in FIG. It is sufficient that the effect determination ratio is set so that the movable object notice effect YPA7 can be determined even when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss) is obtained. At that time, if the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss) is set, the determination ratio is set so that it is more difficult to determine the movable object notice effect YPA7 than the movable object advance notice effect of other modes, and the change of the super reach (big hit). In the case of a pattern, the determination ratio is set so that the movable object advance notice effect YPA7 is more likely to be determined than the movable object advance notice effect of other aspects. The jackpot expectation may be higher than when the movable object notice effect of the mode is executed.

In the effect operation example of the first modification, the movable effect member 60 displays an image as shown in FIG. 8 (A) after the normal reach effect is executed based on the variable display mode of the decorative symbol being the reach mode. The advance operation of the movable object notice effect YPA7 that advances to the front of the display area in the device 5 is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position near the upper edge of the display area, which is the initial position, to the advanced position that covers the "middle" decorative pattern display area 5C in front of the display area. It suffices to move and advance in the movable production direction. With the advancement of the movable effect member 60, an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA 7 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5.

After that, as shown in FIG. 8B, the backward operation of the movable object notice effect YPA7 in which the movable effect member 60 retracts from the front surface of the display area in the image display device 5 is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. As the movable effect member 60 retracts, the movable effect member 60 moves while rotating, and an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect YPA3 is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and is built into the movable effect member 60. A light emitter such as a decorative LED is flash-lit.

After that, as shown in FIGS. 8C and 8D, after the super reach effect is executed, the movable effect member 60 advances to the front of the display area in the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 8E. The advance operation of the jackpot confirmation effect is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position near the upper edge of the display area, which is the initial position, to the advanced position that covers the "middle" decorative pattern display area 5C in front of the display area. It suffices to move and advance in the movable production direction. With the advancement of the movable effect member 60, an effect image accompanying the execution of the jackpot confirmation effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5.

After that, as shown in FIG. 8F, the backward operation of the jackpot confirmation effect in which the movable effect member 60 retracts from the front surface of the display area in the image display device 5 is executed. At this time, the movable effect member 60 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. As the movable effect member 60 retracts, the movable effect member 60 moves while rotating, and an effect image of a special aspect accompanying the execution of the jackpot confirmation effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and the movable effect member 60 is displayed. A light emitter such as a built-in decorative LED is flash-lit. Here, the effect image of the special aspect displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 due to the retreat of the movable effect member 60 in the jackpot confirmation effect is any effect image displayed in the movable object notice effect of a plurality of modes. It is an effect image of a different aspect from the above. As a result, the effect image of the special mode is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the movable effect member 60 retracts, so that the variable display result is definitively notified that the variable display result is a "big hit".

The effect displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 with the advancement of the jackpot confirmation effect may be the same as the effect displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 with the advancement of the movable object notice effect. .. Further, when a jackpot confirmation effect different from the movable object advance notice effect is executed as in the first modification, the movable object advance notice effect may be executed a plurality of times during one variable display. With such a configuration, the player cannot determine whether the effect being executed is a movable object notice effect or a jackpot confirmed effect until the mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is confirmed. Since it can be difficult to discriminate, it is possible to pay attention to the mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, and it is possible to enhance the interest.

Then, based on the fact that the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit) was specified based on the fact that the special figure display result was determined to be "big hit", for example, the match as shown in FIG. 8 (G) was won. An effect image showing the above is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of a jackpot combination as shown in FIG. 8 (H) is derived.

(Modification 2) In the above embodiment, as a movable object advance notice effect, it has been described that the movable effect member constitutes an effect model in which the movable effect member advances to the front surface of the display area in the image display device 5. On the other hand, the movable effect member may constitute a sub-image display device that advances to the front of the display area in the image display device 5. In that case, the operation mode when the sub image display device moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position is the same, but the display mode of the sub image display device when returning is the first display mode. The ratio of the special figure display result to "big hit" may be different depending on whether the display mode is the second display mode different from the first display mode.

FIG. 9 shows an example of an effect operation in which the movable object notice effect of the second modification is executed. When the movable object advance notice effect of the second modification is executed, as shown in FIG. 9A, the advance operation of the movable object advance notice effect in which the sub image display device 65 advances to the front of the display area in the image display device 5 is performed. Will be executed. At this time, the sub-image display device 65 moves from the retracted position near the lower edge of the display area, which is the initial position, to the advanced position that covers the front surface of the display area of the image display device 5. It suffices to move and move forward. In this modification, with the advancement of the sub image display device 65, the effect image of the pan PA1 hung on the string is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect. In the display area of the sub-image display device 65, a predetermined character CA1 is displayed as an effect image accompanying the execution of the movable object notice effect.

After that, as shown in FIG. 9B, the retreat operation of the movable object notice effect in which the sub image display device 65 retreats from the front of the display area in the image display device 5 is executed. At this time, the sub-image display device 65 may operate so as to move and retreat in the movable effect direction from the advance position to the retracted position. In the movable object notice effect of this modification, the character CA1 displayed on the sub-image display device 65 jumps out to the image display device 5 and is displayed on the image display device 5 as the sub-image display device 65 retracts. It is a bread-eating competition production that tries to hold bread PA1 by mouth. Then, when the effect image of the success mode is displayed, such as the character CA1 jumping out from the sub image display device 65 to the image display device 5 and holding the bread PA1 displayed on the image display device 5 by mouth in the bread eating competition effect. , The definite special symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol and the definite decorative symbol that constitutes the jackpot combination are derived, and the player can recognize that the variable display result is "big hit". On the other hand, in the bread-eating competition effect, the character CA1 cannot jump out from the sub-image display device 65 to the image display device 5, and the bread PA1 displayed on the image display device 5 cannot be held by mouth. When the effect image of is displayed, the confirmed special symbol that becomes the lost symbol and the confirmed decorative symbol that constitutes the reach loss combination are derived, and the player can recognize that the variable display result is "missed". I have something to do.

That is, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (loss) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "loss", for example, the effect image of the failure mode as shown in FIG. 9 (C1) is displayed. It is displayed, and a definite decorative symbol of the reach loss combination as shown in FIG. 9 (D1) is derived. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (big hit) is specified based on the fact that the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit", for example, the production image of the success mode as shown in FIG. 9 (C2) is displayed. It is displayed and a definite decorative symbol of a jackpot combination as shown in FIG. 9 (D2) is derived.

When the movable object notice effect by the sub image display device 65 as in the second modification is executed, the operation when the sub image display device 65 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position. The mode is the same, but the display mode of the sub-image display device 65 when returning is different, and the proportion of the special figure display result being a "big hit" differs depending on the display mode. Therefore, the display mode of the sub-image display device 65 is different. It is possible to enhance the interest of the player's game when the sub-image display device 65 returns.

Further, the jackpot expectation degree announced by the movable object notice effect by the sub-image display device 65 determines whether or not the special figure display result is "big hit" according to the display mode as in the modified example 2. It is not limited to the one to be notified, and the ratio of the special figure display result to be a "big hit" may be notified according to the display mode.

Further, in such a configuration, for example, when the operation mode of the sub-image display device 65 is changed to notify the jackpot expectation degree, a space for providing a drive mechanism for that purpose is required. It is especially effective when it is difficult to secure such a space.

(Modification 3) In the above embodiment, when the movable effect member 60 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position and then returns to the retracted position when the power is cut off, before the power is cut off. Regardless of the mode when the movable effect member 60 returns, the movable effect member 60 may be returned to the retracted position in a common mode after the power is turned on again. In that case, it may be returned in any one of a plurality of preset modes of the movable object notice effect, or may be returned in a mode different from any of the plurality of modes of the movable object notice effect. Further, in the case of returning in the mode of the movable object notice effect set in advance, the return may be performed in the mode in which the jackpot expectation is the lowest among the plurality of modes of the movable object advance notice effect. In such a configuration, the processing load when the power is turned on again can be reduced.

(Modification 4) In the above embodiment, the motor drive circuit 16 operates the movable effect member 60 when it receives a drive command signal as an information signal indicating a predetermined drive command command from the effect control CPU 120. If the situation is not possible, the drive command command indicated by the received drive command signal may be invalidated. The situations in which the movable effect member 60 cannot be operated include, for example, that the movable effect member 60 is already in operation, that the movable effect member 60 is not in the retracted position, and that when the movable effect member 60 is operated, another effect is produced. It is conceivable that there is a possibility of interfering with the device, and it cannot be confirmed that the movable effect member 60 does not interfere with other effect devices even if the movable effect member 60 is operated. For example, the motor drive circuit 16 may be invalidated by discarding, for example, the drive command command without storing it in a predetermined storage area. Alternatively, when the drive command command is stored in a predetermined storage area and the movable effect member 60 is operated, before driving the movable effect member motor 61 based on the drive command command, for the reason described above, When the movable effect member 60 cannot be operated, the drive command command may be invalidated by not executing the process for operating the movable effect member 60. According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the movable effect member 60 from having a problem and to disperse the processing load.

(Modification 5) In the above embodiment, when the motor drive circuit 16 continuously receives a drive command signal as an information signal indicating the same drive command command, the motor drive circuit 16 is indicated by a drive command signal received later. The drive command command may be invalidated. According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent unnecessary processing by invalidating the drive command command that is likely to be invalid.

(Modification 6) In the modification 2, the image display device 5 can display an image in a predetermined display mode, and the sub image display device 65 visually recognizes the image quality so as to be different from the predetermined display mode. It is possible to display an image in a specific display mode that can be performed. For example, when an image such as a background image is displayed on the sub image display device 65 in a specific display mode, as in the above embodiment, After displaying the character CA1 as a predetermined image on the sub image display device 65, it is possible to execute a movement display effect of moving and displaying the character CA1 on the image display device 5. In the movement display effect, the character CA1 is displayed on the sub image display device 65. May be displayed in a predetermined display mode when displaying. The relationship between the predetermined display mode and the specific display mode may be, for example, high resolution and low resolution, color and monochrome, 3D and 2D, live-action and animation, and the like. According to such a configuration, even if an image such as a background image is displayed on the sub image display device 65 in a specific display mode, a predetermined image to be moved to the image display device 5 is displayed on the sub image display device 65. Since the image is displayed in a predetermined display mode from the time when the image is displayed, it is possible to eliminate a sense of discomfort when the predetermined image is moved from the sub image display device 65 to the image display device 5, which causes inconvenience in production. Can be prevented.

(Modification 7) In the above-described embodiment, when the light emitting body flashes when the movable effect member 60 is retracted as in the movable object advance notice effect YPA6, the movable object advance notice effect YPA4 is performed. It was explained that the jackpot expectation is higher than when the flash is not turned on. On the other hand, when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the effect mode of the effect means other than the light emitting body is the first effect mode and the second effect mode different from the first effect mode. The jackpot expectations may be different. For example, when the speakers 8L and 8R output a special sound when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the special sound is not output. Further, regardless of whether or not the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 from the time when the movable effect member 60 advances, when the special effect is displayed on the image display device 5 when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the special effect is displayed. The jackpot expectation may be higher than when is not displayed. Further, when the game effect lamp 9 emits special light when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the special light is not emitted. Further, when a second movable effect member different from the movable effect member 60 is provided and the second movable effect member operates when the movable effect member 60 is retracted, the case where the second movable effect member does not operate is compared with the case where the second movable effect member does not operate. , The jackpot expectation may be high. In addition, a versa writer is provided to rotate the LEDs arranged in a row to display characters and images as an afterimage, and when the versa writer rotates when the movable effect member 60 retracts and a specific character or image is displayed, the versa writer can be used. The jackpot expectation may be higher than when it does not rotate. Further, using a projection device such as a projector, a projection mapping device for projecting an image on a predetermined structure, space, or the like provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided, and the image is projected by the projection mapping device when the movable effect member 60 is retracted. When is projected, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the image is not projected. According to such a configuration, it is possible to further improve the interest of the movable effect member 60 when it is retracted.

(Modification 8) In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of effect patterns are prepared in advance in which a combination of an effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is advanced and an effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted is defined. , It is determined which effect pattern is used to execute the movable object advance notice effect, and it has been explained that the jackpot expectation degree differs depending on the combination of the effect modes defined by the determined effect pattern. On the other hand, a plurality of advancing effect patterns in which the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is advanced and a plurality of retreat effect patterns in which the effect mode when the movable effect member 60 is retracted are defined are prepared in advance. It is decided separately which of the advancement effect patterns to execute the moving object notice effect at the time of advancement and which of the backward movement effect patterns to execute the movable object advance notice effect at the time of retreat. The jackpot expectation may be different depending on the combination of the effect mode defined by the advancing effect pattern and the effect mode defined by the retreat effect pattern determined separately.

(Modification 9) Further, the pachinko gaming machine is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine in which a gaming ball as a gaming medium is launched into a gaming area to perform a predetermined game, and a predetermined gaming value can be given based on the gaming result, for example. It can be applied to any gaming machine capable of performing a predetermined game such as a variable display of a symbol serving as a plurality of types of identification information and imparting a predetermined game value based on the game result. More specifically, by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game, the game can be started, and the display result of the variable display device that variably displays a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each is derived. The present invention can also be applied to a slot machine in which one game is completed by being displayed and a prize can be generated according to the display result.

It may be configured to include a part or all of the features of 1. Then, in the movable object advance notice effect, the mode in which the movable effect member moves from the first position to the second position and then returns to the first position is the first aspect and the first aspect. Is different from the case of the second aspect, as long as the ratio of control to the advantageous state favorable to the player is different. Here, the advantageous states for the player in the slot machine are the big game, the big bonus, the regular bonus, the replay time with a high replay winning rate, and the assist time in which the navigation effect is executed when the navigation target role is won. , A part or all of the assist replay time, which is the assist time in the replay time, may be included to be an advantageous game situation for the player.

(Modified Example 10) In the above-described embodiment and modified example, it has been described that the advantageous state advantageous for the player includes the advantageous gaming situation for the player. On the other hand, in an advantageous state that is advantageous for the player, the number of production points acquired is the first number acquired, which is larger than the second acquired number, and a predetermined privilege is given, which is advantageous for the player. It may be included that a predetermined value is given.

Here, the number of effect points acquired may be, for example, the total value of the effect points given to the player when the advance notice effect or the reach effect, which is a specific effect mode, is executed. The advance notice effect or reach effect that is a specific effect mode is set so that the execution ratio is lower than that of the advance notice effect or reach effect that is another effect mode, and the effect may be an effect that appears less frequently. Alternatively, the number of effect points acquired may be the total value of the effect points given to the player when the number of times the variable display is executed reaches a predetermined number of times. Alternatively, the number of production points acquired may be the total value of production points given to the player as a result of executing a predetermined mini-game on the pachinko game machine 1, the slot machine, or the terminal device. In the terminal device, it is sufficient that the player can execute a mini-game imitating a game by the pachinko gaming machine 1 by downloading and executing a predetermined game application program, accessing a predetermined Web page, or the like. It should be noted that the effect points may be given to the player when a predetermined effect such as some advance notice effect or reach effect is executed, not limited to the case where the advance notice effect or reach effect that is a specific effect mode is executed. .. The number of executions of the variable display, which is a condition for giving the effect points, may be, for example, "1" or "10". In this way, a predetermined effect is executed, the number of times the variable display is executed reaches a predetermined number of times, a predetermined mini-game is executed, or a part or all of these are predetermined. Anything that can be given to the player based on the fact that the given point giving condition is satisfied may be used. Further, even when the point granting condition is satisfied, whether or not to grant the effect points, the quantity of the effect points to be given, and the like may be determined at a predetermined ratio.

That is, as an advantageous state for the player, in order for the number of production points to be acquired to be the first number to be acquired more than the second number to be acquired, the ratio of the point granting condition to be satisfied is the first ratio to be higher than the second ratio. In addition to doing so, the ratio determined to give production points when the point condition is satisfied is set to the first ratio, which is higher than the second ratio, and the number of production points to be given when the point condition is satisfied. Is included in the first quantity, which is larger than the second quantity.
