In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes members such as nails and windmills for changing the behavior of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area 21.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a low-probability state and a high-probability state as game states in which the probabilities of winning the big hit lottery are different. The probability of winning the jackpot lottery is also called the jackpot probability. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. Thus, the high-probability state is more advantageous to the player than the low-probability state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)".

The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shots of the game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 29 is higher than that in the low base state. Thus, the high base state is more advantageous to the player than the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electric support state", and the low base state is the so-called "non-electric support state".

For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the normal symbol, which changes the probability of winning the winning lottery of the normal symbol with a higher probability than in the low base state. The probability of winning a winning lottery for a normal symbol is also called the normal winning probability. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the ordinary variable member 30 in one ordinary hit game longer than that in the low base state. As the opening time extension control, the number of times the normal variable member 30 is opened in one normal hit game is increased as compared with the case in the low base state, and the normal variable member 30 is opened once in the normal hit game. It is preferable to control at least one of the controls that make the time longer than in the low base state.

The normal hit probability in the low base state exceeds 0. Therefore, the normally variable member 30 can be operated in the open state in the low base state. The normal hit probability in the low base state may be 0. In this case, the normally variable member 30 is not operated in the open state in the low base state. When the game ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4 in the low base state, the normal winning lottery is not performed, and in the normal game, the normal out-of-order symbol may be configured to be fixedly stopped and displayed. Also in this case, the variable member 30 is not normally operated in the open state in the low base state.

Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol, which makes the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) shorter than that in the low base state. When the fluctuation time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes the so-called "variation time shortening state" of the special symbol. On the other hand, the low base state is the so-called "non-variable time shortened state" for the special symbol.

Next, the setting change function will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability can be set as a plurality of types of set values (setting information). Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability can be set in all six stages from setting 1 to 6 as a plurality of types of setting values. For the plurality of types of set values, a jackpot probability in a low probability state and a jackpot probability in a high probability state are defined. The jackpot probability in the low probability state is higher in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6, and it is easy to win the jackpot. Further, the jackpot probability in the high probability state is higher in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6, and it is easy to win the jackpot. Therefore, it is advantageous for the player in the order of setting 1 <setting 2 <setting 3 <setting 4 <setting 5 <setting 6. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability changes according to the set value. The set value does not have to be 6 steps, and may be any of 2 steps to 5 steps, and 7 steps or more.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the setting operation unit (not shown) of the setting device 40e (shown in FIG. 2) is operated in the on state, and the RAM clear switch 40d (shown in FIG. 2) is turned on. When the power supply is started in the operated state, the mode shifts to the setting change mode. In the setting change mode, the currently set setting value is notified, and each time the RAM clear switch 40d is operated, the currently set setting value is set to setting 1 → setting 2 →… → setting 5 → setting 6 → setting 1. You can change it to loop like →…. Further, the setting change mode ends when the setting operation unit of the setting device 40e is operated in the off state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the power supply is started while the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state, various backed up information is initialized. Therefore, when the setting change mode is entered, the backed up is performed. Various information that has been stored is initialized.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 shifts to the setting confirmation mode when the power supply is started while the setting operation unit of the setting device 40e is operated in the on state and the RAM clear switch 40d is in the off state. .. In the setting confirmation mode, the currently set setting value is notified, and even if the RAM clear switch 40d is operated, the currently set setting value cannot be changed. The setting confirmation mode ends when the setting operation unit of the setting device 40e is operated in the off state.

When the power supply to the boards is started and the operation is further turned off, the power supply to the boards 40 and 41 is cut off.

Next, various processes performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
First, the power-on process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the power-on process, whether or not there is a shift to the setting control mode (setting change mode and setting confirmation mode) according to the operation state of the setting operation unit of the RAM clear switch 40d and the setting device 40e when the power supply is started. And the presence / absence of initialization of the main control RAM 40c is controlled.

First, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started. When the main control CPU 40a inputs an operation signal output when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state.

When it is determined that the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a performs the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c. In the RAM clearing process of the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a initializes the game information stored in the main control RAM 40c, but does not initialize the information that can identify the set value stored in the main control RAM 40c. As described above, the main control CPU 40a is stored in the main control RAM 40c when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state (when the initialization operation is performed) when the power supply is started. Initialize the game information.

After performing the RAM clearing process of the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started. When the main control CPU 40a inputs an operation signal output when the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state.

If it is not determined that the setter 40e has been operated in the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a reads and reads the set value stored in the main set value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c. A command that can specify the set value (hereinafter referred to as the set value command) is set in the output buffer. In the present embodiment, the command set in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the command output process performed as the interrupt process at predetermined control cycles. The set value specified by this set value command is the set value that was set when the power supply was started, and is also the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off. When the main control CPU 40a outputs the set value command to the sub-board 41, the main control CPU 40a sets a command for specifying startup by initialization (hereinafter, referred to as a power-on initial command) in the output buffer, and ends the power-on process.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a performs the setting change control process. In the setting change control process, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting change mode. When the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a change start command) that can specify the start of the setting change mode in the output buffer.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a reads the setting value stored in the main setting value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and displays the display 40f so that the read setting value is notified. Control. That is, the display 40f notifies the set value that was set when the power supply was started. It can be said that the display 40f notifies the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off. Further, the main setting value flag is a flag for the main control CPU 40a to specify the set setting value. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a power-on setting value command) capable of specifying the read setting value in the output buffer.

In the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a sets the set setting value every time the RAM clear switch 40d is turned on, by setting 1 → setting 2 → ... → setting 5 → setting 6 → setting 1 → ... And so on, change it to loop. In this process, the main control CPU 40a changes the set value by updating the set value stored in the main set value flag. As described above, in the present embodiment, the set value can be changed by operating the RAM clear switch 40d in the setting change mode. In the present embodiment, the operation of the RAM clear switch 40d in the setting change mode corresponds to the setting change operation. In the present specification, "changing the set value" means that the set value set is changed by performing the setting change operation. Further, when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the setting change mode, the main control CPU 40a outputs a command (hereinafter, referred to as a setting change command) that can identify that the setting change operation has been performed. Further, when the set setting value is changed, the main control CPU 40a controls the display 40f so that the set value set after the change is notified.

After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the setting change control process.

When the main control CPU 40a finishes the setting change control process, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a setting value command) capable of specifying the setting value stored in the main setting value flag in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a change end command) that can specify the end of the setting change mode in the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a sets the power-on initial command in the output buffer and ends the power-on process.

Further, when it is not determined that the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a confirms whether the various backed up information is normal. Whether the various backed up information is normal or abnormal is confirmed, for example, by checking the status of the backup flag and checking the match with the checksum. When various backed up information is abnormal, the main control CPU 40a performs a RAM clear process of the main control RAM 40c. When the various backed up information is normal, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c. After that, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started. When the main control CPU 40a inputs an operation signal output when the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state.

Set a setting value command that can specify the set value in the output buffer. The set value specified by this set value command is the set value that was set when the power supply was started, and is also the set value that was set when the power supply was cut off. When the set value command is set in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a power-on / power-recovery command) in the output buffer that specifies recovery based on various backed up information. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol state specification command) for designating the control state at the time of recovery (also at the time of power failure) in the output buffer, and ends the power-on process. This symbol state specification command returns to the execution of the first special game, returns to the execution of the second special game, and returns to the jackpot game based on the first special game. , And to return to the jackpot game based on the second special game.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting device 40e is operated in the ON state when the power supply is started, the main control CPU 40a performs the setting confirmation control process. In the setting confirmation control process, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting confirmation mode. When the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a confirmation start command) that can specify the start of the setting confirmation mode in the output buffer.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a shifts to the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a reads the setting value stored in the main setting value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, and displays the display 40f so that the read setting value is notified. Control. In the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a does not change the set set value and does not change the notification content of the display 40f even when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated. In the setting confirmation mode, the main control CPU 40a sets the setting confirmation mode when the setting device 40e is operated in the off state (when the operation signal output when the setting device 40e is operated in the on state is no longer input). finish. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the setting confirmation control process.

When the main control CPU 40a finishes the setting confirmation control process, the main control CPU 40a sets in the output buffer a setting value command capable of specifying the setting value stored in the main setting value flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c. Since the setting value is not changed in the setting confirmation mode, the setting value stored in the main setting value flag is the setting value that was set when the power supply was started, and when the power supply is cut off. It is also the set value that was set. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a confirmation end command) that can specify the end of the setting confirmation mode in the output buffer. After that, the main control CPU 40a sets the power-on / power-on-recovery command and the symbol state specification command in the output buffer, and ends the power-on process.

As described above, when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state and the setter 40e is operated in the ON state, the main control CPU 40a performs the RAM clear process and the setting of the main control RAM 40c in the power-on process. Perform change control processing. On the other hand, when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the ON state and the setting device 40e is operated in the OFF state, the main control CPU 40a performs the RAM clear processing of the main control RAM 40c in the power-on processing, and performs the setting change control processing. Do not do. Further, when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the off state and the setter 40e is operated in the on state, the main control CPU 40a performs a setting confirmation control process in the power-on process. On the other hand, when the RAM clear switch 40d is operated in the off state and the setter 40e is operated in the off state, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the setting confirmation control process in the power-on process.

When the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZA and Za is given, the main control CPU 40a assigns information that can be identified as a high probability state to the main control RAM 40c when the big hit game is finished. Set to flag. Further, when the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZA and Za is given, the main control CPU 40a assigns information that can identify the high base state to the main control RAM 40c at the end of the big hit game. Set to the base state flag. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the game state so as to be in a high probability state and a high base state until the next big hit game is started.

When the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZB and Zb is given, the main control CPU 40a assigns information that can be identified as a low probability state to the main control RAM 40c when the big hit game ends. Set to flag. Further, when the big hit game based on the big hit symbols ZB and Zb is given to the main control CPU 40a, the main control RAM 40c is assigned information that can identify the high base state when the big hit game is finished. Set to the base state flag. In this case, since the main control CPU 40a gives a high base state in which the upper limit number of times is set, the number of times corresponding to the upper limit number of times is stored in the main control RAM 40c as the remaining number of times of the special game for giving the high base state. Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts "1" from the remaining number of times stored in the main control RAM 40c each time the special game is executed. When the remaining number of times becomes "0", the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the low base state as the main base state flag with the end of the special game in which the remaining number of times becomes "0". Set. That is, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state with the end of the upper limit number of special games.

By the way, when the big hit game is given, the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the low probability state in the main probability state flag. Further, when the big hit game is given, the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the low base state in the main base state flag.

When the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the low probability state in the main probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a puts a command that can identify the low probability state (hereinafter referred to as a low probability state command) in the output buffer. Set. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the high probability state in the main probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs a command that can identify the high probability state (hereinafter, referred to as a high probability state command). Set in the buffer. When the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the low base state in the main base state flag, the main control CPU 40a sends a command that can identify the low base state (hereinafter referred to as a low base state command) to the output buffer. Set. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a sets the information that can identify the high base state in the main base state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs a command that can identify the high base state (hereinafter, referred to as a high base state command). Set in the buffer.

Subsequently, the standby state processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a controls the main control CPU 40a to the standby state when both the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number are "0" when the execution of the special game is completed and the predetermined variable interval time elapses. do. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls to the standby state when both the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number are "0" when the ending time of the jackpot game elapses. When the main control CPU 40a controls the standby state, the main control CPU 40a sets a command (hereinafter, referred to as a standby command) that can identify the control to the standby state in the output buffer.

Next, various processes performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
First, the sub-control CPU 41a performs initial settings when the power supply is started. When the initial setting is completed, the sub-control CPU 41a waits for the input of a command from the main control CPU 40a. The sub-control CPU 41a is designed to start earlier than the main control CPU 40a, and when a command is input from the main control CPU 40a, the sub-control CPU 41a can stand by.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the change start command, it listens for the power-on setting value command, and when the power-on setting value command is input, the power supply is started from the input power-on setting value command. Specify the setting value that was set at the time. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the set value set when the specified power supply is started in the power-on sub-set value flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. As described above, the power-on sub-set value flag is a flag for specifying the set value that was set when the power supply was started. Further, the set value set when the power supply is started is also the set value set when the power supply is cut off.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the setting change command, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d, and stores the information capable of specifying the current date in the setting change operation flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. .. This setting change operation flag is a flag for identifying the date when the latest setting change operation is performed. The information that can identify the date when the setting change operation is performed, which is stored in the setting change operation flag, is included in various information to be backed up on the sub-board 41.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the set value command, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the set value from the set value command and stores the specified set value in the sub-set value flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. This sub-set value flag is a flag for the sub-control CPU 41a to specify the set set value.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a command at the initial stage of power-on, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a RAM clear process of the sub-control RAM 41c. In the RAM clearing process of the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a initializes the predetermined information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, but does not initialize the information related to the set value stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. For example, the predetermined information includes information that can identify the gaming state. For example, the information regarding the setting value includes information that can identify the date when the setting change operation is performed, which is stored in the setting change operation flag. Further, when the power-on initial command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a reads information indicating the effect content in the initial state from the sub-control ROM 41b, and controls the sub-control CPU 41a to execute the effect with the effect content in the initial state. On the other hand, when the power-on / power-recovery command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a produces the effect content in the state before the power supply is cut off, based on the symbol state specification command input together with the power-on / power-recovery command. Is controlled to be executed.

Then, when a command is input from the main control CPU 40a after executing the effect from the effect content in the initial state or the state before the power supply is cut off, the sub control CPU 41a performs various processes. Here, an example of various processes performed by the sub-control CPU 41a when a command is input from the main control CPU 40a will be described below.

First, the effect game processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the game start command and the symbol command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the production game. When the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is the jackpot symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the jackpot symbol combination by the effect symbol. When the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is an outlier symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the outlier symbol combination according to the effect symbol.

Further, when the game start command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the effect symbols are variablely displayed in each row. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the production game. After starting the effect game, the sub-control CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol, and when the game end command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol as a fixed stop display.

Next, the jackpot effect processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the opening effect is executed when the opening command is input. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the round effect is executed when a round command is input. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so that the ending effect is executed when the ending command is input.

Next, the game state processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the low-probability state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the sub-probability state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c with information that can identify the low-probability state. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the high-probability state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the sub-probability state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c with information that can identify the high-probability state. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the low-base state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the sub-base state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c with information that can identify the low-base state. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the high-base state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the sub-base state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c with information that can identify the high-base state.

In addition, when the standby command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can identify the standby state in the standby state flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. This standby state flag is a flag for identifying that the sub-control CPU 41a is in the standby state. When the game start command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a erases the information that can identify the standby state stored in the standby state flag.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, historical information capable of specifying a set value set at a predetermined time prior to the currently set set value (in the present embodiment, the closing time of the game store (for example, 23:00)). Is configured to be memorable. The history information is information that can identify the set value set at a predetermined time and the date.

Hereinafter, a process for storing history information (hereinafter referred to as a history information storage process) will be described. The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current time from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d, and when the current time is a predetermined time (in the present embodiment, the closing time of the amusement store (for example, 23:00)), the history information is stored. Perform processing. In the history information storage process, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the sub-control RAM 41c and determines whether or not the history information for 10 days is stored. When it is determined that the history information for 10 days is stored, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the history information capable of specifying the set value set at the predetermined time of the oldest date among the set values for 10 days. to erase. When the history information that can specify the set value is deleted, or when it is determined that the history information for 10 days is not stored, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the set value stored in the sub-set value flag and the RTC41d. The sub-control RAM 41c stores the current date specified from the generated RTC information and the history information that can be specified. It should be noted that this history information becomes history information capable of specifying the set value set at the predetermined time one day before when the date becomes one day after the date when the history information is stored. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the history information storage process.

In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the history information for up to 10 days by performing the history information storage process at a predetermined time (in the present embodiment, the closing time of the game store (for example, 23:00)). .. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date one day before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time one day before. In the following description, the "set value set one day before" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date one day before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date two days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time two days before. In the following description, the "set value set two days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date two days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 3 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 3 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 3 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 3 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 4 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 4 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 4 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 4 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 5 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 5 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 5 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 5 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 6 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 6 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 6 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 6 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 7 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 7 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 7 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 7 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 8 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 8 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 8 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 8 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information that can specify the date 9 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 9 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 9 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 9 days before the current date. The set value specified from the history information capable of specifying the date 10 days before the current date is the set value set at the predetermined time 10 days before. In the following description, the "set value set 10 days ago" means a set value specified from historical information capable of specifying a date 10 days before the current date. In the present embodiment, the sub-control RAM 41c stores the history information, so that the function as a storage means for storing the information that can specify the history of the set value is realized. In the present embodiment, the history information corresponds to the first information that can specify the history of the set value.

The set value stored in the sub-set value flag is the currently set set value. In the following description, the "currently set setting value" means the setting value stored in the sub-setting value flag. Further, the history information and the information capable of specifying the currently set setting value are included in various information to be backed up on the sub-board 41. The history information and the information that can specify the currently set setting value are included in the information regarding the setting value that is not initialized in the RAM clearing process of the sub-control RAM 41c.

Generally, in a game store, the set value set between the opening time of the game store and the closing time of the game store is not changed. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, by storing the history information at the closing time of the game store, it is set between the opening time of the game store and the closing time of the game store on the date specified from the history information. The set value can be specified. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, by storing the history information at the closing time of the game store, the set value set in the period during which the player can play the game on the date specified from the history information is specified. can do.

Next, the change of the set value will be described.
In the present specification, "the setting value has changed" means that the setting value currently set and the setting value set one day ago are different setting values. The change in the set value includes that the set value has changed favorably and that the set value has changed unfavorably. In the present specification, "the setting value has changed advantageously" means that the setting value currently set is more advantageous than the setting value set one day ago. When the set value changes advantageously, the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the jackpot probability in the high probability state become high. In the present specification, "the setting value has changed disadvantageously" means that the setting value currently set is more disadvantageous than the setting value set one day ago. When the set value changes unfavorably, the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the jackpot probability in the high probability state become low. In the present embodiment, an advantageous change in the set value corresponds to a change in the set value so that the degree of advantage regarding the special game is advantageous to the player. In the present embodiment, the unfavorable change of the set value corresponds to the change of the set value so that the degree of advantage regarding the special game is disadvantageous to the player.

On the other hand, in the present specification, "the set value did not change" means that the set value currently set and the set value set one day ago are the same set value.
In the present specification, the "change amount of the set value" is the difference between the set value currently set and the set value set one day before. For example, if the set value set one day ago is set 3 and the currently set set value is set 4, the set value has changed and the amount of change is "1" (= 4-). 3). For example, when the set value set one day ago is set 3 and the currently set set value is set 3, the set value has not changed and the amount of change is "0" (= 3). -3).

By the way, as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot probability can be set in all 6 stages from the setting 1 to 6 as a plurality of types of setting values. Therefore, when the set value changes from any of the set values 2 to 5, the set value may change advantageously or the set value may change unfavorably. When the set value changes from the setting 1, the set value may change advantageously, but the set value does not change unfavorably. When the set value changes from the setting 6, the set value may change disadvantageously, but the set value does not change advantageously. Further, the case where the set value changes advantageously corresponds to the case where the set value changes advantageously. On the other hand, the case where the set value changes unfavorably corresponds to the case where the set value changes unfavorably.

Next, the deferment of the set value will be described.
In the present specification, "the set value has been deferred" means that the RAM clear switch 40d in the setting change mode has not been operated. That is, in the present specification, "the setting value has been deferred" means that the setting change operation has not been performed. When the setting change operation is performed, even if the setting value does not change, it means that the setting value has not been deferred. For example, when a setting change operation is performed on the current date, even if the currently set setting value and the setting value set one day ago are the same setting value, the setting value is deferred. It means that it was not. Hereinafter, the "period during which the setting change operation is not performed" may be described as the "deferred period".

In the present embodiment, when the date on which the latest setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is performed is the current date, the deferment period is 0 days. That is, the set value has not been deferred. On the other hand, when the date on which the latest setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is performed is one day before the current date, the deferment period is one day. If the date on which the latest setting change operation specified from the setting change operation flag is performed is two days before the current date, the deferment period is two days. If the date of the latest setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is 3 days before the current date, the deferment period is 3 days. If the date of the latest setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is 4 days before the current date, the deferment period is 4 days. If the date of the latest setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is 5 days before the current date, the deferment period is 5 days. If the date of the latest setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is 6 days before the current date, the deferment period is 6 days. If the date of the latest setting change operation specified by the setting change operation flag is 7 days before the current date, the deferment period is 7 days.

Next, the effect related to the set value will be described. In the present embodiment, the effects related to the set values include a change amount suggestion effect as a special effect, a setting history effect as a predetermined effect, and a deferred period suggestion effect as a specific effect.

First, the change amount suggestion effect will be described. The change amount suggestion effect is executed according to the change amount of the set value which is the difference between the set value currently set and the set value set one day ago. That is, in the present embodiment, the change amount suggestion effect is a special effect executed according to the currently set set value and the set value set before the currently set set value. Corresponds to. The change amount suggestion effect can be executed together with the ending effect during the ending period of the jackpot game. That is, the change amount suggestion effect can be executed when the ending effect is executed during the ending period in the jackpot game.

Next, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is higher when the set value is changed than when the set value is not changed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value does not change, that is, when the change amount of the set value is "0", the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is a specific execution probability (3 in the present embodiment). %). On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes, that is, when the change amount of the set value is "1" or more, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is higher than the specific execution probability. .. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is determined according to the amount of change in the set value and whether the set value has changed favorably or unfavorably. There is. In FIG. 3, "the set value has changed favorably" is indicated by "+", and "the set value has changed unfavorably" is indicated by "-". In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes, regardless of the amount of change in the set value, when the set value changes more favorably than when the set value changes unfavorably. The probability of executing the change amount suggestion effect is high. That is, in the present embodiment, the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect is higher when the predetermined change amount is changed favorably from the predetermined set value than when the predetermined change amount is unfavorably changed from the predetermined set value.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes advantageously, the larger the change amount of the set value, the higher the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect. That is, in the present embodiment, the case where the predetermined set value is changed favorably by the second change amount larger than the first change amount is more advantageous than the case where the predetermined set value is changed favorably by the first change amount. The probability of executing the change amount suggestion effect is high.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the set value changes unfavorably, the larger the change amount of the set value, the higher the execution probability of the change amount suggestion effect. That is, in the present embodiment, the case where the predetermined set value is changed unfavorably by the second change amount, which is larger than the first change amount, is more unfavorable than the case where the predetermined set value is changed unfavorably by the first change amount. The probability of executing the change amount suggestion effect is high.

Next, the content of the change amount suggestion effect will be described.
The production contents of the change amount suggestion production include the first to fourth production contents. When the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed, a character image imitating a boy is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the change amount suggestion effect of the second effect content is executed, a character image imitating a girl is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, a character image imitating a boy, a character image imitating a girl, and an image imitating the character "change" are displayed on the effect display device 27. NS. When the fourth effect content suggestion effect is executed, a character image imitating a boy, a character image imitating a girl, and an image imitating the characters "setting UP" are displayed on the effect display device 27. Will be done.

As shown in FIG. 3, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is more easily executed when the set value does not change than when the set value changes. For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 95% when the change amount of the set value is "0". For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 90% when the change amount of the set value is "1". When the set value changes, the smaller the change amount of the set value, the easier it is to execute the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content. For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 85% when the change amount of the set value is "2". For example, when the change amount suggestion effect is executed, the change amount suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 80% when the change amount of the set value is "3".

The change amount suggestion effect of the second effect content is easier to be executed when the set value is changed than when the set value is not changed. When the set value changes, the larger the change amount of the set value, the easier it is to execute the second effect content suggestion effect.

The change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is not executed if the set value does not change. The change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is not executed when the set value changes and the change amount of the set value is "1". On the other hand, the change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content can be executed when the set value changes and the change amount of the set value is any of "2" to "5". Therefore, when the change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the change amount of the set value is any one of "2" to "5". When the change amount of the set value is any one of "2" to "5", the larger the change amount of the set value, the easier it is to execute the third effect content suggestion effect.

The change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed if the set value does not change. The change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the set value changes unfavorably. The fourth effect content suggestion effect is not executed when the set value changes advantageously and the change amount of the set value is any of "1" to "3". On the other hand, the change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the set value changes advantageously and the change amount of the set value is "4" or "5". Therefore, when the change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the set value has changed advantageously and that the change amount of the set value is "4" or "5". In the fourth effect content suggestion effect, when the set value changes advantageously, the change amount of the set value is "5" than when the change amount of the set value is "4". Easy to carry out. As described above, in the present embodiment, the change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is the change amount of the set value, which is the difference between the currently set value and the set value set one day ago. It is feasible when it is "4" or "5" and when the set value changes advantageously. In the present embodiment, the fourth effect content corresponds to the specific effect content, and "4" or "5" corresponds to the specific change amount.

Next, the change amount suggestion effect processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
First, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the ending command, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the amount of change in the set value. The sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the sub-control RAM 41c and specifies the currently set set value and the set value set one day ago. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a has changed the set value advantageously, or the set value has changed unfavorably, based on the currently set value and the set value set one day ago. Determine if the set value has not changed. When the currently set value is more advantageous than the set value set one day ago, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the set value has changed advantageously. If the currently set value is more unfavorable than the set value set one day ago, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the set value has changed unfavorably. When the set value set one day ago and the set value currently set are the same set value, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the set value has not changed.

When it is determined that the set value has changed advantageously, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts the set value set one day ago from the currently set set value, and specifies the amount of change in the set value from the subtracted result. do. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to execute the change amount suggestion effect with the execution probability corresponding to the change amount of the set value and the advantageous change of the set value. When it is determined that the set value has changed unfavorably, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts the currently set set value from the set value set one day ago, and specifies the amount of change in the set value from the subtracted result. do. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to execute the change amount suggestion effect with the execution probability corresponding to the change amount of the set value and the unfavorable change of the set value. When it is specified that the set value has not changed, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies "0" as the change amount of the set value, and gives a change amount suggestion effect with a specific execution probability (3% in the present embodiment). Decide if you want it to run.

If the sub-control CPU 41a does not decide to execute the change amount suggestion effect, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the change amount suggestion effect process. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a decides to execute the change amount suggestion effect, the change amount suggestion effect has a probability corresponding to the change amount of the set value and whether the set value has changed favorably or unfavorably. Determine the content of the production. For example, when the amount of change in the set value is "5" and the set value changes advantageously, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 70% and the second effect content with a probability of 24%. Is determined, the third production content is determined with a probability of 4%, and the fourth production content is determined with a probability of 2%. On the other hand, when the change amount of the set value is "5" and the set value changes unfavorably, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 72% and the second effect content with a probability of 24%. Is determined, and the content of the third production is determined with a probability of 4%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the content of the fourth effect. When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the change amount suggestion effect, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the change amount suggestion effect process, and executes the change amount suggestion effect with the determined effect content in a process different from the change amount suggestion effect process. Controls the effect display device 27.

Next, the setting history effect will be described.
The setting history effect is executed according to the history information. The setting history effect is executed according to the history information that can identify the set value set 1 to 7 days ago in the history information. Specifically, the setting history effect is "an average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago" calculated from the history information that can identify the set values set 1 to 7 days ago in the history information. Is executed according to. Further, the setting history effect is executed according to the number of times the setting 6 is set 1 to 7 days before the setting value specified from the history information that can be specified 1 to 7 days ago in the history information. Will be done. As described above, the setting history effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a predetermined effect executed according to the history information regarding the set value set in the specific period before the currently set value. In the present embodiment, 1 to 7 days before corresponds to the specific period. Further, in the present embodiment, by storing the history information in the sub-control RAM 41c, a function as a storage means for storing the information that can specify the history related to the set value set in the specific period is realized. In addition, the setting history effect is executed according to the currently set setting value. Therefore, the setting history effect in the present embodiment is executed according to the information that can specify the history of the set value set in the specific period and the currently set set value. The setting history effect is an effect that can be executed during the opening period of the jackpot game. The setting history effect is executed together with the opening effect during the opening period of the jackpot game. That is, the setting history effect is executed when the opening effect is executed in the opening period of the jackpot game.

Next, the production contents of the setting history effect will be described.
The production contents of the setting history production include the first to fifth production contents. Setting history of the first effect content When the effect is executed, an image imitating a cow is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the setting history effect of the second effect content is executed, an image imitating a horse is displayed on the effect display device 27. Setting history of the third effect content When the effect is executed, an image imitating a cow, an image imitating a horse, and an image imitating the characters "Okikunare" are displayed on the effect display device 27. NS. Setting history of the fourth effect content When the effect is executed, an image imitating a cow, an image imitating a horse, and an image imitating the characters "treasure excavation" are displayed on the effect display device 27. Fifth setting of production contents When the history production is executed, an image imitating a cow, an image imitating a horse, and an image imitating the characters "I feel great" are displayed on the production display device 27. NS.

As shown in FIG. 4, the setting history effect of the first effect content is not executed when the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago is "3" or more. Hereinafter, "the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago" may be simply described as "the average value of the set values". The setting history effect of the first effect content can be executed when the average value of the set values is less than "3". Therefore, when the setting history effect of the first effect content is executed, it can be specified that the average value of the set values is less than "3". The setting history effect of the second effect content is not executed when the average value of the set values is less than "3". The setting history effect of the second effect content is not executed when the average value of the set values is "4.5" or more. On the other hand, the setting history effect of the second effect content can be executed when the average value of the set values is "3" or more and less than "4.5". Therefore, when the setting history effect of the second effect content is executed, it can be specified that the average value of the set values is "3" or more and less than "4.5". The setting history effect of the third effect content is not executed when the average value of the set values is less than "4.5". On the other hand, the setting history effect of the third effect content can be executed when the average value of the set values is "4.5" or more. Therefore, when the setting history effect of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the average value of the set values is "4.5" or more.

The setting history effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the number of times the setting 6 is set 1 to 7 days ago is "0 times". On the other hand, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the number of times the setting 6 is set 1 to 7 days ago is "1 time" or more. Therefore, when the setting history effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago. In the present embodiment, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content is when the history of the set value set in the specific period is specified from the identifiable information that the special set value was set in the specific period. It is feasible. In the present embodiment, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content corresponds to the predetermined effect of the special effect content. In this embodiment, setting 6 corresponds to a special set value. In the setting history effect of the fourth effect content, the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago was "2" than the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago was "1 time". It is easier to execute when it is "more than once". In the present embodiment, the setting history effect of the fourth effect content can specify the history of the set value set in the specific period that the number of times the special set value is set in the specific period is the first number. It is specified from the information that can specify the history of the above set value that the number of times the special set value is set in the specific period is the second time, which is larger than the first time, than when it is specified from the information. It is easier to execute if it is. In the present embodiment, "1 time" corresponds to the 1st time, and "2 times or more" corresponds to the 2nd time, which is larger than the 1st time.

The setting history effect of the fifth effect content is executed when the average value of the set values is "3" or more and less than "4.5" than when the average value of the set values is less than "3". Easy to do. The setting history effect of the fifth effect content is more when the average value of the set values is "4.5" or more than when the average value of the set values is "3" or more and less than "4.5". , Easy to carry out. The setting history effect of the fifth effect content is executed when the currently set setting value is setting 6 than when the currently set setting value is any one of settings 1 to 5. easy.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the first, which can specify the average value of the set values, rather than the setting history effects of the fourth and fifth effects, which can specify the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago. ~ Setting history of the third effect content The effect is easier to execute. As a result, it is possible to make it easier to specify the average value of the set values from the setting history effect than the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago.

Next, the setting history effect processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
First, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the opening command, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the sub-control RAM 41c and specifies the set value set 1 to 7 days ago. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago from the specified set values set 1 to 7 days ago. For example, the setting value set 1 to 3 days ago is the setting 6, the setting value set 4 to 6 days ago is the setting 4, and the setting value set 7 days ago is the setting 5. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates "5" (= (6 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5) / 7) as the average value of the set values. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago from the information that can identify the set values set 1 to 7 days ago. A function as a calculation means for calculating the average value of the set values set in a specific period from the history information is realized. Next, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the number of times the setting 6 is set 1 to 7 days before the setting value specified from the history information that can specify the date 1 to 7 days before the current date. For example, the setting value set 1 to 3 days ago is the setting 6, the setting value set 4 to 6 days ago is the setting 4, and the setting value set 7 days ago is the setting 5. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies 3 times as the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago. That is, the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is also the number of days when the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago.

The sub-control CPU 41a produces a setting history effect with a probability corresponding to the average value of the specified set values, the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days before the specified value, and the currently set set value. Determine the content. For example, the average value of the set values is "3" or more and less than "4.5", the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is 1, and the currently set setting value is set. The case of 6 will be described. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a has an 80% probability of determining the second effect content, a 10% probability of determining the fourth effect content, and a 10% probability of determining the fifth effect content. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and third effects. For example, when the average value of the set values is "4.5" or more, the number of times the setting 6 is set 1 to 7 days ago is 1, and the currently set setting value is the setting 6. explain. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a has a 60% probability of determining the third effect content, a 10% probability of determining the fourth effect content, and a 30% probability of determining the fifth effect content. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and second effects. For example, the average value of the set values is "3" or more and less than "4.5", the number of times the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago is 2 times or more, and the currently set setting value is The case of setting 6 will be described. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a has a 70% probability of determining the second effect content, a 20% probability of determining the fourth effect content, and a 10% probability of determining the fifth effect content. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and third effects.

The setting history effect in the present embodiment is executed according to the average value of the set values calculated from the identifiable information in the history of the set values set in the specific period. Then, in the present embodiment, the setting history effect is executed according to the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago calculated by the sub-control CPU 41a, so that the set value set in the specific period is set. The setting history effect is executed according to the information that can identify the history of.

When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the setting history effect, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the setting history effect process, and in a process different from the setting history effect process, the effect display device executes the setting history effect with the determined effect content. 27 is controlled.

Next, the deferred period suggestion effect will be described.
The deferred period suggestion effect is executed according to the deferred period. That is, the deferred period suggestion effect in the present embodiment corresponds to a specific effect executed according to the period during which the setting change operation is not performed. The deferred period suggestion effect can be executed together with the round effect in the first round game in the jackpot game. That is, the deferred period suggestion effect can be executed when the round effect is being executed in the first round game in the jackpot game.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the setting history effect is executed during the opening period in the jackpot game. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the first round game in the jackpot game, there are cases where the deferred period suggestion effect is not executed and cases where the deferred period suggestion effect is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferment period is 0 to 2 days, the deferment period suggestion effect is not executed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferment period is 3 days or more, the deferment period suggestion effect may be executed. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, there are cases where the change amount suggestion effect is not executed and cases where the change amount suggestion effect is executed during the ending period of the big hit game.

Next, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher when the deferred period is 5 or 6 days than when the deferred period is 3 or 4 days. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher when the deferred period is 7 days or more than when the deferred period is 5 or 6 days. Therefore, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, it can be specified that the deferred period is 3 days or more. As described above, in the present embodiment, the setting change operation is performed for a period longer than the length of the special period, as compared with the case where the setting change operation is not performed for a period shorter than the length of the special period. When it is not performed, the probability of executing the deferred period suggestion effect is higher. In this embodiment, 7 days corresponds to a special period.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is 3 or 4 days, the more advantageous the set value is, the higher the probability of executing the deferred period suggestion effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is 5 or 6 days, the more advantageous the set value is, the higher the probability of executing the deferred period suggestion effect. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the deferred period is 7 days or more, the more advantageous the set value is, the higher the probability of executing the deferred period suggestion effect. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second setting which is more advantageous than the first set value for a predetermined period than when the setting change operation is not performed while the first set value is set for a predetermined period. When the setting change operation is not performed while the value is set, the execution probability of the deferred period suggestion effect is higher. In the present embodiment, at least one of 3, 4 days, 5, 6 days, and 7 days or more corresponds to a predetermined period.

Next, the content of the deferred period suggestion effect will be described.
The production contents of the deferred period suggestion production include the first to fourth production contents. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed, an image imitating a dog is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the second effect content is executed, an image imitating a cat is displayed on the effect display device 27. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, an image imitating a dog, an image imitating a cat, and an image imitating the characters "I often meet" are displayed on the effect display device 27. NS. When the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is executed, an image imitating a dog, an image imitating a cat, and an image imitating the characters "setting UP" are displayed on the effect display device 27. ..

As shown in FIG. 5, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 7 days or more. On the other hand, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content can be executed when the deferred period is 3 to 6 days. The deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is more likely to be executed when the deferred period is 3 or 4 days than when the deferred period is 5 or 6 days. For example, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 90% when the deferred period is 3 or 4 days. For example, when the deferred period suggestion effect is executed, the deferred period suggestion effect of the first effect content is executed with a probability of 80% when the deferred period is 5 or 6 days. When the deferred period of the second effect content is 3 days or more, the shorter the deferred period, the easier it is to execute the deferred period suggestion effect. The deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 3 to 6 days. On the other hand, the deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content can be executed when the deferred period is 7 days or more. Therefore, when the deferred period suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the deferred period is 7 days or more. The deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 3 to 6 days. The deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is not executed when the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is set 1 to 5. On the other hand, the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is set 6. Therefore, when the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the deferred period is 7 days or more and the currently set value is set 6. As described above, in the present embodiment, the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content can be executed when the setting change operation is not performed while the setting 6 is set for a period equal to or longer than the length of the special period. Is. In the present embodiment, the deferred period suggestion effect of the fourth effect content corresponds to the specific effect of the special effect content, and the setting 6 corresponds to the special set value.

Next, the deferred period suggestion effect processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
First, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the opening command and then the first round command, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the date on which the latest setting change operation is performed from the setting change operation flag. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the current date from the RTC information generated by the RTC 41d. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the deferment period from the date when the most recently specified setting change operation is performed and the specified current date. When the date on which the latest setting change operation is performed and the current date are the same, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies 0 days as the deferment period. For example, when the date when the latest setting change operation is performed is September 5, 2018 and the current date is September 5, 2018, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies 0 days as the deferment period. When the date on which the latest setting change operation is performed and the current date are different, the sub-control CPU 41a determines how many days before the current date the date on which the latest setting change operation is performed. , Specify the deferment period. For example, in the sub-control CPU 41a, when the date when the latest setting change operation is performed is September 1, 2018 and the current date is September 5, 2018, the date when the newest setting change operation is performed. Is 4 days before the current date, so 4 days is specified as the deferment period. The sub-control CPU 41a does not decide to execute the deferred period suggestion effect when the specified deferred period is 0 to 2 days. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not decide to execute the deferred period suggestion effect, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the deferment period suggestion effect process.

On the other hand, when the specified deferment period is 3 days or more, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to execute the deferment period suggestion effect with an execution probability corresponding to the deferment period and the currently set set value. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the deferred period suggestion effect with a probability corresponding to the deferred period and the currently set set value. For example, when the deferment period is 3 or 4 days, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 90% and the second effect content with a probability of 10%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the third and fourth effects. For example, when the deferment period is 5 or 6 days, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first effect content with a probability of 80% and the second effect content with a probability of 20%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the third and fourth effects. For example, when the deferment period is 7 days or more and the currently set setting value is any of the settings 1 to 5, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second effect content with a probability of 3%, and 97 The third production content is determined with a probability of%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the first and fourth effects. For example, when the deferment period is 7 days or more and the currently set setting value is setting 6, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second effect content with a probability of 3% and a third with a probability of 94%. The content of the production is decided, and the content of the fourth production is determined with a probability of 3%. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not determine the content of the first effect.

When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the deferred period suggestion effect, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the deferred period suggestion effect process, and executes the deferred period suggestion effect with the determined effect content in a process different from the deferred period suggestion effect process. Controls the effect display device 27.

In the calculation process of the low probability average number of games, the sub-control CPU 41a divides the number of low probability cumulative games from today to 7 days ago by the number of low probability hits from today to 7 days ago, respectively, so that the low probability from today to 7 days ago is low. Calculate the average number of games. For example, when the number of low-probability cumulative games 7 days ago is 1500 and the number of low-probability hits 7 days ago is 5, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the low-probability average number of games 7 days ago to "300 times" (=). 1500/5) is calculated. On the other hand, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a has a low probability cumulative number of games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to 7 days ago when it is 0 times. Do not calculate the probability average number of games. Further, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a has a low accuracy of today to 7 days when the number of low-accuracy hits stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to 7 days ago is 0. Do not calculate the average number of games.

When the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the number of high-accuracy hits stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to 7 days ago and the number of high-accuracy cumulative games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c before today to 7 days are not 0. , Calculates the number of high-accuracy average games. In the calculation process of the high-accuracy average number of games, the sub-control CPU 41a divides the high-accuracy cumulative number of games from today to 7 days ago by the number of high-accuracy hits from today to 7 days ago, respectively, to achieve high accuracy from today to 7 days ago. Calculate the average number of games. On the other hand, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a has a high accuracy cumulative number of games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to 7 days ago when it is 0 times. Do not calculate the probability average number of games. Further, when the operation button BT is operated in the standby state, the sub-control CPU 41a has a high accuracy of today to 7 days when the number of high-accuracy hits stored in the sub-control RAM 41c from today to 7 days ago is 0. Do not calculate the average number of games.

When the sub-control CPU 41a calculates the low-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to display an image in which the calculated low-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago can be specified. When the sub-control CPU 41a calculates the high-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 27 so as to display an image in which the calculated high-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago can be specified. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not calculate the low-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago, the effect display device is displayed so as to display an image in which "-times" can be specified as the low-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago. 27 is controlled. If the sub-control CPU 41a does not calculate the high-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago, the effect display device is displayed so as to display an image in which "-times" can be specified as the high-accuracy average number of games from today to 7 days ago. 27 is controlled.

Here, an example of a mode in which the set value is estimated will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
In this explanation, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the jackpot probability is defined in the set value. In FIG. 7, the jackpot probability is shown in unit fractions. In the following description, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 1 is 1/318, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 2 is 1/309, and the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 3 is 1/300. Suppose that In the following description, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 4 is 1/292, the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 5 is 1/284, and the jackpot probability in the low probability state of setting 6 is 1/277. Suppose that Further, in the following description, the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 1 is 1/106, the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 2 is 1/103, and the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 3 is 1. It shall be / 100. In the following description, the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 4 is 1/97, the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 5 is 1/94, and the jackpot probability in the high probability state of setting 6 is 1/92. Suppose that

First, the first situation will be described. As shown in FIG. 6A, the first situation is a situation in which 285 times can be specified from the game history production as the low probability average number of games today. In the first situation, since it is possible to identify that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 285 special game executions in the low probability state, the jackpot probability in the low probability state is shown in unit fractions. , 1/285 is estimated. Hereinafter, the "big hit probability in the low probability state estimated from the low probability average number of games" will be described as the "low probability estimated big hit probability". As shown in FIG. 6A, the first situation is a situation in which 95 times can be specified from the game history production as the high-accuracy average number of games today. In the first situation, in the high probability state, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 95 special game executions. Therefore, when the jackpot probability in the high probability state is shown in unit fractions. , 1/95 is estimated. Hereinafter, the "big hit probability in the high probability state estimated from the high probability average number of games" will be described as the "high probability estimated big hit probability".

Generally, in estimating the currently set value or the set value, the currently set value or the set value is set from the low probability average number of games and the high probability average number of games. It is conceivable to guess the set value. Hereinafter, the "currently set value or the set value that has been set" may be simply referred to as the "current or past setting value". When the low probability estimated jackpot probability and the jackpot probability defined in the set value are shown in unit fractions, the numerator value of the low probability estimated jackpot probability and the numerator value of the jackpot probability defined in the set value, Will be the same. Therefore, it is conceivable to compare the value of the denominator of the low probability estimated jackpot probability with the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability set in the set value to estimate the current or past set value. In addition, when the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability and the jackpot probability defined in the set value are shown in unit fractions, the numerator value of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability and the numerator value of the jackpot probability defined in the set value And are the same. Therefore, it is conceivable to compare the value of the denominator of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability with the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability set in the set value to estimate the current or past set value. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, if the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the low probability state defined in the set value has the same value as the value of the denominator of the low probability estimated jackpot probability, the current or past set value. As a result, it is conceivable to estimate a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when there is a value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the low probability state defined in the set value within a predetermined range specified from the low probability estimated jackpot probability, the current or past setting As a value, it is conceivable that a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state is estimated. The predetermined range specified from the low-probability estimated jackpot probability refers to the value obtained by subtracting the denominator value of the low-probability estimated jackpot probability by a predetermined value and adding a predetermined value to the value of the denominator of the low-probability estimated jackpot probability. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, if the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the high probability state defined in the set value has the same value as the value of the denominator of the high probability estimated jackpot probability, the current or past set value. As a result, it is conceivable to estimate a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when there is a value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the high probability state defined in the set value within a specific range specified from the high probability estimated jackpot probability, the current or past setting As a value, it is also conceivable to estimate a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state. The specific range specified from the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability refers to the value obtained by subtracting the denominator value of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability by a specific value to the value obtained by adding a specific value to the value of the denominator of the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability.

In the following description, an "exemplary player" who infers the set value will be mentioned. In principle, the illustrated player has a current or past set value when the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the low probability state defined in the set value is within the first range specified from the low probability estimated jackpot probability. As a guide, a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state is estimated. The first range refers to the range from the value obtained by subtracting 5 from the value of the denominator of the low probability estimated jackpot probability to the value obtained by adding 5 to the value of the denominator of the low probability estimated jackpot probability. In principle, the illustrated player has a current or past set value when the value of the denominator of the jackpot probability in the high probability state defined in the set value is within the second range specified from the high probability estimated jackpot probability. As a guide, a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state is estimated. The second range refers to the range from the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the denominator of the high probability estimated jackpot probability to the value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the denominator of the high probability estimated jackpot probability. Then, as will be described in detail later, the illustrated player is present from both the current or past set value estimated from the low probability average number of games and the current or past setting value estimated from the high probability average number of games. Or guess the past set value.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 7, the lower limit of the jackpot probability in the low probability state is 1/318. Therefore, when the low probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/324 or less, the illustrated player guesses setting 1 in which 1/318 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the current or past setting value. And. The upper limit of the jackpot probability in the low probability state is 1/277. Therefore, when the low probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/271 or more, the illustrated player infers setting 6 in which 1/277 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the current or past setting value. And. The lower limit of the jackpot probability in the high probability state is 1/106. Therefore, when the high probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/108 or less, the illustrated player infers setting 1 in which 1/106 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the current or past setting value. And. The upper limit of the jackpot probability in the high probability state is 1/92. Therefore, when the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability is 1/90 or more, the illustrated player infers setting 6 in which 1/92 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the current or past setting value. And.

In the first situation, since the low probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/285, the illustrated player sets the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/290 to 1/280 as the currently set value. Guess the set value. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 5 in which 1/284 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the currently set setting value. In the first situation, since the high probability estimated jackpot probability is 1/95, the illustrated player sets the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/96 to 1/94 as the currently set value. Guess the set value. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 5 in which 1/94 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the currently set setting value. When the illustrated player estimates the setting 5 from the low probability average number of games and estimates the setting 5 from the high probability average number of games, the setting 5 is estimated as the currently set setting value.

The first situation is a situation in which the number of low-accuracy average games one day ago and the number of high-accuracy average games one day ago can be specified as 314 times and 105 times, respectively, from the game history production. In the first situation, in the low probability state one day ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 314 special game executions, so the low probability estimated jackpot probability one day ago is It becomes 1/314. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/319 to 1/309 as the set value set one day ago. That is, in the example player, as the setting values set one day ago, the setting 1 in which the jackpot probability in the low probability state is set to 1/318 and the setting in which the jackpot probability in the low probability state is set to 1/309 are set. Guess 2 In the first situation, in the high probability state one day ago, it is possible to identify that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 105 special game executions, so the high probability estimated jackpot probability one day ago is It becomes 1/105. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/106 to 1/104 as the set value that was set one day ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 1 in which 1/106 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the setting value set one day ago. When the illustrated player guesses setting 1 and setting 2 from the low probability average number of games and estimates setting 1 from the high probability average number of games, the setting value set 1 day ago is set among setting 1 and setting 2. Guess which one. At this time, the illustrated player estimates setting 1, which is a setting value estimated from the low probability average number of games and also a setting value estimated from the high probability average number of games, as the setting value set one day ago. Shall be.

Then, in the first situation, for example, when the change amount suggestion effect of the third effect content is executed, it can be specified that the change amount of the set value is "2" or more. The illustrated player infers the setting 5 as the currently set setting value and infers the setting 1 as the setting value set one day ago, so that it is inferred that the set value has changed advantageously. Is also possible. For the illustrated player estimated in this way, it is possible to raise the expectation that the currently set value is a more advantageous set value.

In the first situation, for example, when the change amount suggestion effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it is specified that the set value has changed advantageously and that the change amount of the set value is "4" or "5". can. Then, in the fourth effect content suggestion effect, when the set value changes advantageously, the change amount of the set value is "5" rather than when the change amount of the set value is "4". It is easier to execute. The illustrated player guessed the setting 5 as the currently set setting value and guessed the setting 1 as the setting value set one day ago, so that the currently set setting value was guessed again. It is also conceivable to infer setting 6 as the currently set value. For the illustrated player estimated in this way, it is possible to raise the expectation that the currently set value is the setting 6.

The first situation is a situation in which 310 times and 102 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history production as the number of low-accuracy average games two days ago and the number of high-accuracy average games two days ago. In the first situation, in the low probability state two days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 310 special game executions, so the low probability estimated jackpot probability two days ago is It becomes 1/310. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/315 to 1/305 as the set value that was set two days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 2 in which 1/309 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting value set two days ago. In the first situation, in the high probability state two days ago, it is possible to identify that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 102 special game executions, so the high probability estimated jackpot probability two days ago is It becomes 1/102. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/103 to 1/101 as the set value that was set two days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 2 in which 1/103 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the setting value set two days ago.

The first situation is a situation in which the low-accuracy average number of games 4 days ago and the high-accuracy average number of games 4 days ago can be specified as 290 times and 96 times, respectively, from the game history production. In the first situation, in the low probability state four days ago, it is possible to identify that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 290 executions of the special game, so that the low probability estimated jackpot probability four days ago is It becomes 1/290. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/295 to 1/285 as the set value that was set four days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 4 in which 1/292 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting value set four days ago. In the first situation, in the high probability state four days ago, it is possible to identify that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 96 special game executions, so the high probability estimated jackpot probability four days ago is It becomes 1/96.

The first situation is a situation in which the number of low-accuracy average games 5 days ago and the number of high-accuracy average games 5 days ago can be specified as 291 times and 96 times, respectively, from the game history production. In the first situation, in the low probability state 5 days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for the execution of 291 special games. Therefore, the low probability estimated jackpot probability 5 days ago is It becomes 1/291. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/296 to 1/286 as the set value set five days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 4 in which 1/292 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting value set 5 days ago. In the first situation, in the high probability state 5 days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 96 special game executions, so the high probability estimated jackpot probability 5 days ago is It becomes 1/96.

The first situation is a situation in which the number of low-accuracy average games 6 days ago and the number of high-accuracy average games 6 days ago can be specified as 297 times and 100 times, respectively, from the game history production. In the first situation, in the low probability state 6 days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for the execution of 297 special games. Therefore, the low probability estimated jackpot probability 6 days ago is It becomes 1/297. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/302 to 1/292 as the set value that was set 6 days ago. That is, the example player has set 1/300 as the jackpot probability in the low probability state and 1/292 as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting values set 6 days ago. Guess 4 In the first situation, in the high probability state 6 days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 100 special game executions, so that the high probability estimated jackpot probability 6 days ago is It becomes 1/100.

The first situation is a situation in which 310 times and 102 times, respectively, can be specified from the game history effect as the number of low-accuracy average games 7 days ago and the number of high-accuracy average games 7 days ago. In the first situation, in the low probability state 7 days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 310 special game executions, so that the low probability estimated jackpot probability 7 days ago is It becomes 1/310. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/315 to 1/305 as the set value that was set 7 days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 2 in which 1/309 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting value set 7 days ago. In the first situation, in the high probability state 7 days ago, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 102 special game executions, so that the high probability estimated jackpot probability 7 days ago is It becomes 1/102. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/103 to 1/101 as the set value that was set 7 days ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 2 in which 1/103 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the setting value set 7 days ago.

Then, when the illustrated player estimates the set value set 1 to 7 days ago, the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago is "2.57 ..." (= (1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 2)). / 7) is guessed.

Then, in the first situation, for example, when the setting history effect of the first effect content is executed, it can be specified that the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago is less than "3". Therefore, it is possible to have an exemplary player who has estimated the set value set 1 to 7 days ago confirm the accuracy of estimating the set value set 1 to 7 days ago. Since the illustrated player estimated "2.57 ..." as the average value of the set values set 1 to 7 days ago, the accuracy of estimating the set values set 1 to 7 days ago is high. You can confirm that it is expensive. In this way, when the average value of the set values estimated by the example player 1 to 7 days ago is less than "3", the example player has the setting set 1 to 7 days ago. It can be confirmed that the accuracy of value estimation is high. By the way, when the average value of the set values estimated by the example player 1 to 7 days ago is "3" or more, the example player has the set value set 1 to 7 days ago. It can be confirmed that the accuracy of estimation is low. When the illustrated player confirms that the estimation accuracy is low, the accuracy of the estimation of the set value set 1 to 7 days ago is estimated by re-estimating the set value set 1 to 7 days ago. Can be enhanced.

In the first situation, for example, when the setting history effect of the fourth effect content is executed, it can be specified that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago. Therefore, it is possible to have an exemplary player who has estimated the set value set 1 to 7 days ago confirm the accuracy of the estimation based on the setting 6 being set 1 to 7 days ago. The illustrated player can confirm that the accuracy of estimating the set value set 1 to 7 days ago is low because there is no setting 6 in the set value set 1 to 7 days before the estimated value. When the illustrated player confirms that the accuracy of estimating the set value set 1 to 7 days ago is low, he / she re-estimates the set value set 1 to 7 days ago to perform 1 to 7 It is possible to improve the accuracy of estimating the set value that was set a day ago. For example, in the example player, after guessing the setting 4 as the setting value set 4 days ago, when it is specified that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago, the setting 6 is set 4 days ago. It is also conceivable to guess the set value again and guess the setting 6 as the set value set four days ago. By the way, the illustrated player identifies that the setting 6 was set 1 to 7 days ago, and when the set value set 1 to 7 days ago has the setting 6, 1 to 7 It can be confirmed that the accuracy of estimating the set value set a day ago is high.

Next, the second situation will be described. In the second situation, in today's low probability state, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 290 special game executions, so the low probability estimated jackpot probability today is 1 /. It becomes 290. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/295 to 1/285 as the currently set set value. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 4 in which 1/292 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the currently set setting value. In the first situation, in the high probability state today, it can be specified that one jackpot lottery was won on average for 96 special game executions, so the high probability estimated jackpot probability today is 1 /. It becomes 96. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the high probability state from 1/97 to 1/95 as the currently set set value. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 4 in which 1/97 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the currently set setting value. When the illustrated player estimates the setting 4 from the low probability average number of games and estimates the setting 4 from the high probability average number of games, the setting 4 is estimated as the currently set setting value.

In the second situation, the number of low-probability average games one day ago and the number of high-probability average games one day ago can be specified as 291 times and 98 times, respectively, from the game history production. The probability is 1/291, and the high-accuracy estimated jackpot probability one day ago is 1/98. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines the jackpot probability in the low probability state from 1/296 to 1/286 as the set value set one day ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 4 in which 1/292 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting value set one day ago. In addition, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines a jackpot probability in a high probability state from 1/99 to 1/97 as a set value that was set one day ago. That is, the illustrated player infers setting 4 in which 1/97 is set as the jackpot probability in the high probability state as the setting value set one day ago. The illustrated player estimates the setting 4 from the low probability average number of games, and when the setting 4 is estimated from the high probability average number of games, the setting 4 is estimated as the setting value set one day ago.

In the second situation, the number of low-probability average games two days ago and the number of high-probability average games two days ago can be specified as 253 and 93 times, respectively, from the game history production. The probability is 1/253, and the high probability estimated jackpot probability two days ago is 1/93. Therefore, the illustrated player estimates setting 6 in which 1/277 is set as the jackpot probability in the low probability state as the setting value set two days ago. In addition, the illustrated player estimates a set value that defines a jackpot probability in a high probability state from 1/94 to 1/92 as a set value that was set two days ago. That is, in the example player, as the setting values set two days ago, the setting 5 in which the jackpot probability in the high probability state is set to 1/94 and the setting in which the jackpot probability in the high probability state is set to 1/92 are set.

As described in detail above, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Since the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the jackpot probability (advantage level regarding the special game) differ depending on the set value, the set value is of interest to the player. It's a high thing. Therefore, the change amount suggestion effect (special effect) is executed according to the currently set value and the set value set before the currently set value. As a result, the player's interest in both the currently set value and the set value set before the currently set value can be increased. Then, the player can be given the pleasure of guessing the set value according to both the currently set set value and the set value set before the currently set set value. , Can improve the interest.
