Description

The present invention relates to a ball-and-ball game machine that determines whether or not a game ball enters the starting port and executes a big hit game that opens and closes the big winning opening in the case of a big hit.

In a ball game machine represented by a pachinko machine, a hit / fail judgment is made by digesting the hold memory stored based on the game ball entering the starting port, and the hit / fail judgment result is a big hit. If this is the case, a jackpot game is executed in which the opening of the jackpot is executed a predetermined number of times. Here, the winning / failing determination is performed according to a predetermined jackpot winning probability.
In recent years, there is known a configuration in which a plurality of winning probabilities of the jackpot are set and any one of the winning probabilities can be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the gaming machine (for example, Patent Document 1). According to such a configuration, since the probability of occurrence of a big hit can be arbitrarily adjusted, the profit margin can be adjusted for each machine, and it is possible to give a degree of freedom to the business of the amusement shop.

On the other hand, the ball game machine has a configuration in which, when undigested hold memory is stored, it is pre-read whether or not the hold memory is determined to be a big hit before digestion, and the pre-read result is notified. Has been done. For example, in Patent Document 2, if there is a jackpot determination for undigested reserved memory by pre-reading determination, an effect indicating that there is an undigested pending memory for which the jackpot determination is performed during the jackpot game (so-called reserved consecutive villa). A configuration for executing the production) has been proposed. According to such a configuration, since the next big hit is announced during the big hit game, it is possible to effectively stimulate the emotions of the player who expects an increase in the earned profit.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-205160 JP-A-2017-104508

By the way, when the jackpot is determined by the hit / fail determination, the ball gaming machine selectively determines the number of one round from the number of rounds (opening number) of a plurality of predetermined large winning openings, and the jackpot is determined by the determined number of rounds. The configuration for executing a game is known. In this configuration, the number of prize balls (profit) that can be obtained by the jackpot game differs depending on the number of rounds of the selected jackpot, so that the player executes the jackpot game with a large number of rounds. I want to do that.
If the configuration of Patent Document 2 described above is applied to a ball gaming machine having such a configuration, the following problems may occur. (1) Since the reserved consecutive villa effect only suggests whether or not there is an undigested reserved memory for determining the jackpot, for example, the reserved consecutive villa effect is executed during the jackpot game with a large number of rounds. If the big hit game that is executed by digesting the hold memory after this is a big hit game with a small number of rounds, there is a risk that the emotions of the player who is uplifted by the hold consecutive villa production will diminish despite the big hit. There is. In this case, the player's interest in the reserved consecutive villa production is likely to be reduced, and the effect of improving the interest of the game by the reserved consecutive villa production may be reduced. (2) Generally, in the process of selecting and determining the number of rounds, the selection probability of each number of rounds is set so that the probability of selecting a small number of rounds is high and the probability of selecting a large number of rounds is low. There is. Therefore, the reserved consecutive villa production tends to suggest a big hit with a small number of rounds, and it is easy for the player to assume that it suggests a big hit with a small number of rounds. In this case, the effect of raising the player's expectation and improving the interest of the game by the reserved consecutive villa production is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and proposes a ball-and-ball gaming machine that can generate new fun by the above-mentioned reserved consecutive villa effect performed during a big hit game.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention comprises a hold storage generation means for extracting a predetermined random number due to the entry of a game ball into a starting port provided in a game area and storing the extracted random number as a hold memory up to a predetermined upper limit number. By digesting the hold memory stored by the hold memory generation means, it is determined whether or not the random number of the hold memory is won or not according to a predetermined winning probability, and when the result of the hit or fail determination is winning , the player's A hit / fail determination means for selecting one jackpot game content from a plurality of jackpot game contents having different profits that can be obtained, and a hit / fail determination means when the result of the win / fail judgment by the hit / fail determination means is winning. It is equipped with a jackpot game control means that executes a jackpot game that opens the jackpot according to the jackpot game content selected by, and a plurality of the above-mentioned winning probabilities that are different from each other, and one of the winning probabilities is valid by the operation of the administrator. winning the pinball game machine comprising a probability set means to be set, a random number that is extracted due to the incoming ball to the starting opening by the holding storage generating means, prior spruce determination by the propriety determining means as whether determined, if more of the result of this determination is winning and determining prefetch decision means for jackpot gaming content that is selected by the appropriate determination means, when it is elected and determine the constant by the spruce determining means When the jackpot gaming contents of the prefetch has pending store undigested it is determined winning the determining means and the hold memory is a jackpot gaming Description of specific, is executed based on the winning of applicable determination means The ball gaming machine is characterized by comprising a suggestion effect control means for suggesting a winning probability information related to a winning probability set by the probability setting means during a big hit game.

Here, the "random number" extracted based on the entry into the starting port is preferably a random number for determining whether or not the ball is hit, and a random number for selecting the content of the big hit game. By digesting the memory, the winning / failing determination means determines the winning / failing and selects the content of the big hit game. Alternatively, this "random number" may not include a random number for selecting the jackpot game content.
In addition, the "big hit game content" includes the content in which the number of rounds (the number of times the big winning opening is opened) is determined to be different from each other, the content in which the big hit game is executed in one of the multiple big winning openings, and the big hit game. It is possible to set the content to be transferred to a predetermined gaming state later. Furthermore, a combination of a plurality of these contents can be set. As the gaming state that shifts after the big hit game, for example, a probabilistic gaming state that facilitates a big hit, a time-saving gaming state in which the fluctuation time of the special symbol is shortened, and the like can be applied. Further, it is also possible to apply a probabilistic gaming state or a time-saving gaming state in which the ending conditions are different from each other.
In addition, the "manager" includes not only the manager or store manager of the game facility in which the ball game machine is installed, but also the employees of the game facility and the person who operates the ball game machine on a trial basis. Is done.
Further, the "look-ahead determination means" may be one that pre-reads the random number extracted due to the entry into the starting port before storing it as the hold storage, or after storing it as the hold storage (and digesting it). It may be a look-ahead before). Further, in the latter case, the pre-reading timing can be appropriately set. For example, each time the hold memory is stored, the random number of the hold memory may be read ahead and the hit / fail judgment and the judgment of the big hit game content may be executed. It may be the one that pre-reads the random number of the pending memory of digestion and executes the determination of success or failure and the determination of the content of the big hit game.
Further, the "predetermined combination" may be not only a combination having a one-to-one relationship with a specific jackpot game content, but also a combination having a one-to-many relationship.
Further, the "winning probability information related to the winning probability" is information indicating the winning probability set by the probability setting means, information indicating whether the set winning probability is high or low, and the set winning probability is specific. Information indicating whether or not the winning probability is obtained, information indicating that the winning probability has been changed by the probability setting means, and the like can be applied. Furthermore, it is also possible to selectively use one piece of information from these plurality of pieces of information.
Further, "during the big hit game" includes from the time when the effect of notifying the start of the big hit game is started to the time when the effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is finished. Then, the "suggestion effect control means" may execute the suggestion effect during such a big hit game, or may execute the suggestion effect at a predetermined timing or a predetermined period during the big hit game.
In addition, the "suggestion effect" is an effect of displaying a symbol suggesting the winning probability information on the effect symbol display device, an effect of generating a voice suggesting the winning probability information by the speaker, and a light suggesting the winning probability information by the lamp. It may be any of the productions to be performed, and further, it may be a plurality of productions among these.

In such a configuration, there is an undigested pending memory that becomes a big hit by executing the suggestion effect (hereinafter referred to as jackpot suggestion information), and the jackpot is a specific jackpot game content ( or the specific jackpot game content). It suggests that it is a big hit game contents) to form a predetermined combination (hereinafter, and a) that jackpot contents suggested information, as well as suggest to the player, the winning probability information. That is, the suggestion effect has a role of suggesting the winning probability information related to the set winning probability in addition to the role of suggesting the information regarding the undigested reserved memory such as the jackpot suggestion information and the jackpot content suggestion information. .. Here, since the winning probability information is information related to the set winning probability, the player can use the corresponding winning probability information to determine whether or not to continue the game on the machine. Therefore, regardless of the content of the jackpot suggestion information or the jackpot content suggestion information, the player's interest in the suggestion effect can be attracted, and the player's emotions for executing the suggestion effect can be strongly stimulated.
According to such a suggestion effect, by suggesting the jackpot suggestion information and the jackpot content suggestion information regarding the undigested reserved memory, the emotion of the player who expects the continuous jackpot occurrence can be stimulated, and the winning probability information can be obtained. The new role of suggesting creates new fun of providing highly valuable hit selection probability information for the player, and can dramatically improve the interest of the game. Specifically, even if the jackpot suggestion information and the jackpot content information suggested by the suggestion effect are not what the player expects, the player can obtain the winning probability information, as described above. It is possible to suppress the player's emotional decline as in the conventional configuration, and the effect of improving the interest of the game by the suggestion effect can be sufficiently and stably exhibited.

Further, according to this configuration, it is possible to stimulate the emotions of the player who expects the execution of the suggestion effect for each execution of the jackpot game according to the specific jackpot game content. This is because, as described above, the suggestion effect not only has a role of suggesting a jackpot of undigested pending memory, but also has a role of suggesting winning probability information related to the set winning probability. It is due to the fact that it can generate strong emotions for the execution of suggestive effects. Therefore, during the jackpot game, it is possible to raise the emotions of the player who is thrilled in anticipation of the execution of the suggestion effect, and it is possible to provide new fun that has never existed during the jackpot game. Further, if the suggestion effect is not executed during the big hit game, the player is discouraged, so that the player's emotions can be relatively large undulations before and after the end of the big hit game. By causing undulations in such emotions, it contributes to the effect of stimulating the emotions of the player who desires the execution of the above-mentioned suggestion effect.

In the above-described ball game machine of the present invention, it is proposed that the specific jackpot game content can obtain a profit lower than a predetermined intermediate profit based on the profit that can be obtained by the jackpot game content. ..

Here, the "predetermined intermediate profit based on the profit that can be obtained by the big hit game content" is the average profit of the profit that can be obtained set for each of the plurality of predetermined big hit game contents, and the plurality of big hit games. It is possible to apply profits that are located in the middle when the contents are arranged in the order of profits that can be obtained. When each jackpot game content has a plurality of types of profits, an intermediate profit may be set based on all the profits, or an intermediate profit may be set based on one profit. For example, when each jackpot game content is composed of the number of rounds and the game state after the jackpot game, the intermediate profit may be based on only one (number of rounds) or both. May be.

In such a configuration, since there is a possibility that the suggestion effect is executed during the execution of the jackpot game by the jackpot game content (specific jackpot game content) having a low profit that can be obtained, the suggestion effect is acquired. It can be said that it is one of the benefits that can be provided when the jackpot game content with low possible profit is selected. By combining the jackpot game with low profit that can be obtained and the suggestion effect that is highly valuable to the player, the value for the suggestion effect can be further increased, so that the above-mentioned effect of the present invention is further stabilized. Can be demonstrated. Furthermore, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the jackpot game with low profit that can be obtained and the expectation of the player who seeks the execution of the jackpot game, and the fun of the game that the content of a plurality of jackpot games is selectively determined. It can be further improved.

In the above-described ball game machine of the present invention, it is proposed that the specific jackpot game content can obtain a higher profit than a predetermined intermediate profit based on the profit that can be obtained by the jackpot game content. ..
Here, the "predetermined intermediate profit based on the profit that can be obtained by the content of the big hit game" is defined in the same manner as described above.

In such a configuration, since there is a possibility that the suggestion effect is executed during the execution of the jackpot game by the jackpot game content (specific jackpot game content) with high profit that can be obtained, the suggestion effect is acquired. It can be said that it is one of the benefits that can be provided when the jackpot game content with high possible profit is selected. By combining the jackpot game with high profit that can be obtained and the suggestion effect that is highly valuable to the player, the jackpot game can be recognized by the player as a valuable one that brings rare profit. As a result, the emotions of the player who desires the jackpot game with high profit that can be obtained are strongly stimulated, so that the fun of the game of selectively determining a plurality of jackpot game contents can be further improved.

Output a signal.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 is provided with a first starting port 11 capable of constantly winning a prize, and a second starting port 12 which is opened by winning in the above-mentioned ordinary symbol lottery and is capable of winning a prize. The random numbers extracted due to the winning of the starting ports 11 and 12 are used to determine whether the game is a big hit, a small hit, or a loss. Then, when the random number extracted by the ball entering the first starting port 11 is determined to be correct or not, the first special symbol display device 9 performs variable display of the first special symbol and stops the first special symbol. By displaying it, the lottery result is notified. Similarly, when the random number extracted by the ball entering the second starting port 12 is determined to be correct or not, the second special symbol display device 10 performs variable display of the second special symbol, and the second special symbol is displayed. The lottery result is notified by displaying the stop. Further, in parallel with the variable display on the first special symbol display device 9 and the second special symbol display device 10, the pseudo special symbol corresponding to each special symbol is variablely displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. After that, these are stopped and displayed, and a series of effects are performed to notify the result of the lottery.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1, random numbers (numerical data) extracted by winning a prize in the first starting port 11 are stored as the first hold storage, and up to four (upper limit) are stored. Then, the stored number of the first reserved storage is displayed by the number of lights of the first special figure reserved number display device 18. Similarly, up to four random numbers (numerical data) extracted by winning the second starting port 12 (upper limit) are stored as the second reserved storage, and the number of stored second reserved storage is the second special figure. It is displayed by the number of lights of the hold number display device 19.

By digesting the first and second reserved memories stored in this way, the above-mentioned pass / fail judgment is performed. If the result of this hit / fail determination is a big hit, the symbols showing the big hits are confirmed and displayed on the first and second special symbol display devices 9 and 10, and the pseudo special symbols are shown on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 to show the big hits. Is confirmed and displayed. Then, along with this big hit, a big hit game is executed in which a predetermined number (number of rounds) of open rounds for opening the big winning opening 14 is repeated. Further, when the lottery result is a small hit, the symbols indicating the small hits are confirmed and displayed on the first and second special symbol display devices 9 and 10, and the small hits are shown on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The pseudo special symbol is confirmed and displayed. Then, along with the small hit, a small hit game in which the large winning opening 14 is opened and closed once is executed.

Further, when the result of the above-mentioned hit / fail determination is a big hit, one big hit game content is selected and determined from a plurality of predetermined big hit game contents. Then, the jackpot game is executed according to the determined jackpot game content. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the content of each jackpot game is set to the number of rounds in which the jackpot 14 is opened in the jackpot game and the game state to be shifted after the jackpot game. In this embodiment, six types of jackpot game contents are predetermined by a combination of three types of round numbers and two types of game states, which are different from each other. When one jackpot game content is selected and determined from these, the jackpot game is executed according to the number of rounds of the determined jackpot game content, and after the end of the jackpot game, the game state of the jackpot game content is entered.

The number of rounds constituting the jackpot game content is set to three types of 4, 7, and 10 times, and the jackpot game is executed according to any one of these rounds. In any big hit game, 30 seconds (opening time) have passed from the opening start of the big winning opening 14, or 10 (specified number) of game balls enter the big winning opening 14. By doing so, the large winning opening 14 is closed and the process ends. Then, in the jackpot game, open rounds are repeated with an interval in between. In such a big hit game, when it is executed by the number of 10 rounds, it is possible to enter the most game balls into the big winning opening 14, and it is the least when it is executed by the number of 4 rounds. That is, the jackpot game with 10 rounds can win the most prize balls (profit), and the jackpot game with 7 rounds can win the next most prize balls, 4 times. The prize ball (profit) that can be obtained is the smallest in the jackpot game based on the number of rounds.

On the other hand, the game states constituting the jackpot game content are set to two types, a normal game state and a probabilistic game state, and after the jackpot game is completed, either the normal game state or the probabilistic game state is set. Transition. The normal gaming state is a gaming state in which the "low probability mode / non-time saving mode / non-opening extension mode" is set, and the probabilistic gaming state is a gaming state in which the "high probability mode / time saving mode / opening extension mode" is set.
Here, in the low probability mode, a predetermined low winning probability is valid and a winning / failing determination is made as to whether or not the jackpot is a big hit. Make a judgment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, each of the above-mentioned set values 1 to 3 has a low winning probability and a high winning probability, respectively, and in the case of the low probability mode, the set setting values 1 to 1 are set. While the low winning probability determined by 3 is valid, in the case of the high probability mode, the high winning probability determined by the set set values 1 to 3 is valid. More specifically, when the set value 1 is set, the winning / failing judgment is made with the low winning probability of 1/100 as valid in the low probability mode, and the high winning probability of 1/50 is valid in the high probability mode. The hit / fail judgment is made. When the set value 2 is set, the winning / failing judgment is made with the low winning probability of 1/90 as valid in the low probability mode, and the winning / failing is made with the high winning probability of 1/45 valid in the high probability mode. Make a judgment. When the set value 3 is set, the winning / failing judgment is made with the low winning probability of 1/80 as valid in the low probability mode, and the winning / failing is made with the high winning probability of 1/40 valid in the high probability mode. Make a judgment.
Further, in the time saving mode, the fluctuation time between the first special symbol and the second special symbol is shorter than the fluctuation time in the non-time saving mode. Further, in the time saving mode, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened as compared with the non-time saving mode.
Further, in the open extension mode, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to be higher than that in the non-open extension mode, and the opening time of the second starting port 12 is extended as compared with the non-open extension mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the winning probability of a normal symbol is set to 1/6 in the non-open extension mode, whereas the corresponding winning probability is set to 5/6 in the open extension mode. The opening operation of the second starting port 12 is performed once in the non-opening extension mode for about 0.2 seconds, whereas in the opening extension mode, it is opened once for about 2 seconds.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the contents of the first to sixth big hit games are determined by the combination of the above-mentioned three types of round numbers and the two types of gaming states. Then, when the result of the above-mentioned hit / fail determination is a big hit, one big hit game content is selected and determined according to a predetermined selection probability. Here, the content of the first big hit game is defined as the execution of the big hit game by the number of four rounds and the transition to the probabilistic game state after the big hit game. The selection probability of the first big hit game content is 25/100. Further, the content of the second big hit game is defined as the number of four rounds and the transition to the normal game state, and the selection probability is 25/100. Further, the content of the third big hit game is defined as the number of rounds of 7 times and the transition to the probabilistic game state, and the selection probability is 15/100. Further, the content of the fourth big hit game is defined as the number of rounds of 7 times and the transition to the normal game state, and the selection probability is 15/100. Further, the content of the fifth big hit game is defined as the number of rounds of 10 times and the transition to the probabilistic game state, and the selection probability is 10/100. Further, the content of the sixth big hit game is defined as the number of rounds of 10 times and the transition to the normal game state, and the selection probability is 10/100.
As described above, in this embodiment, there is a high probability of selection between the first jackpot game content and the second jackpot game content, in which the prize balls (profit) that can be obtained in the jackpot game are small, and the fifth and sixth jackpots with many prize balls are present. The selection probability of the game content is low.

In this embodiment, the first to sixth jackpot game contents are assigned to a plurality of jackpot symbol modes that are confirmed and displayed by the first special symbol and the second special symbol, respectively. Therefore, when the big hit is determined, one big hit game content is selected from the first to sixth big hit game contents by determining the one big hit symbol mode to be confirmed and displayed by the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is determined. Specifically, as will be described later, one jackpot symbol mode is determined by lottery of a jackpot symbol random number, and one jackpot game content assigned to the determined jackpot symbol mode is determined. As described above, in this embodiment, each selection probability of the first to sixth jackpot game contents is determined by the probability of determining one jackpot symbol mode.
Then, the result of selecting and determining the contents of the first to sixth jackpot games is notified according to the jackpot symbol mode of the first special symbol or the second special symbol.

If the result of the winning / failing determination is a small hit, a small hit game in which the large winning opening 14 is opened is executed. In the small hit game of this embodiment, the operation of opening the large winning opening 14 for 1.5 seconds is performed once. Therefore, in the small hit game, it is more difficult to obtain the prize ball than in the big hit game described above.
Then, in this embodiment, the winning probability of the small hit in the winning / failing determination is set uniformly (for example, 1/60) for each of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Therefore, the winning probability of the small hit is the same regardless of the above-mentioned set values 1 to 3 and the gaming state (normal gaming state, probabilistic gaming state). In this embodiment, the winning probabilities of small hits are made uniform, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of different winning probabilities of small hits are set in each set value as in the above-mentioned jackpot winning probabilities. It may be a new one.

As shown in FIG. 5, when a ball is entered into each of the starting openings 11 and 12, the large winning opening 14, and the general winning opening 41, a set number of prize balls are paid out. Specifically, four prize balls for each entry into the first starting port 11, one prize ball for each entry into the second starting port 12, and each entry into the large winning opening 14. Eight prize balls are paid out, and four prize balls are paid out for each entry into the general winning opening 31.

Next, the processing of various programs executed by the main control device 80 will be described.
FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the main routine. The main routine is composed of the main processing from S10 to S70 and the residual processing of S80 that is repeated as long as the time allows within the time remaining after the main processing is executed, and is periodically executed by a hard interrupt every 2 ms. Will be done. When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is normal (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the RAM as the memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to the main process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether or not it is okay.

If a negative determination (that is, a determination that the interrupt is not normal) is made in S10 (S10: No), the initial setting (S15) is executed, and the process proceeds to the residual processing (S80). In this initial setting, for example, writing of a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the RAM, writing of each initial value to a working area of the RAM, such as using the first and second special symbols as initial symbols, is executed. On the other hand, when affirmative determination (that is, determination that it is a normal interrupt) is made in S10 (S10: Yes), the initial value random number update process (S20), the jackpot determination random number update process (S25), and the jackpot symbol determination process. Random number update process (S30), hit determination random number update process (S35), reach determination random number update process (S40), fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S45), winning confirmation process (S50), win / fail Each output process (S70) such as determination process (S55), special game process (S60), fraud monitoring process (S65), and image output process is performed, and the initial time is within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The value random number update process (S80) is looped.

The initial value random number of the above initial value random number update process (S20) takes 4000 integers from "0" to "3999", is incremented by +1 each time this process is executed, and is created in ascending order of the integers. .. If this process is executed when the initial value random number is "3999", it is returned to "0".

Further, the big hit determination random number in the big hit determination random number update process (S25) takes 4000 integers from "0" to "3999" in the same as the initial value random number, and is in ascending order for each execution of this process. Will be created.
Here, for each of the above set values 1 to 3, an integer value that is a big hit among "0" to "3999" is set in the low probability mode and the high probability mode, respectively. Specifically, in the case of the setting value 1, 40 integer values are set in the low probability mode (big hit winning probability = 1/100), and 80 integer values are set in the high probability mode (big hit). Winning probability = 1/50). In the case of the setting value 2, 44 integer values are set in the low probability mode (big hit winning probability = 1/90), and 89 integer values are set in the high probability mode (big hit winning probability). = 1/45). In the case of the setting value 3, 50 integer values are set in the low probability mode (big hit winning probability = 1/80), and 100 integer values are set in the high probability mode (big hit winning probability). = 1/40).

Further, the random numbers in the random number update process (S30) for determining the jackpot symbol take 100 integers from "0" to "99" and are created in ascending order each time this process is executed. Further, the random number of the random number update process (S35) for winning determination takes 997 integers from "0" to "996" and is created in ascending order for each execution of this process. The random number in the reach determination random number update process (S40) takes 229 integers from "0" to "228" and is created in ascending order for each execution of this process. Further, the random number of the random number update process (S45) for determining the fluctuation pattern takes 1021 integers from "0" to "1020" and is created in ascending order for each execution of this process.

Next, the start winning process executed by the main control device 80 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This start winning process is one of the subroutines called in the winning confirmation process (S50) of the main routine described above.
In the start winning process, S100 determines whether or not the first start port switch 11a has detected the game ball. In the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S100: No) and S120, and in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S100: Yes) and S105. In S105, it is determined whether or not the number of first reserved storage has reached the upper limit value (for example, four). In the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S105: Yes) and S120, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S105: No) and S110. In S110, the first extraction random number holding storage process is executed. In this first extraction random number hold storage process, a random number for determining the first jackpot, a random number for determining the first jackpot symbol, a random number for reach determination, a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern, etc. are extracted and stored as the first hold storage, and at the same time, the first is stored. (1) Add 1 to the first hold number counter indicating the number of hold storages, and perform the processing necessary for turning on the first special figure hold number display device 18 according to the information of the first hold number counter. After S110, proceed to S115.

In S115, the look-ahead determination process is executed. In the look-ahead determination process, a process of determining whether or not the first jackpot determination random number extracted in S110 is a jackpot is performed, and if it is a jackpot determination, the first jackpot symbol determination random number is further based on the first jackpot determination random number. Judge one big hit game content from the first to sixth big hit game contents. Then, the information indicating the determination result of whether or not the jackpot is a big hit and the information indicating the determination result of the big hit game content are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83.
In the look-ahead determination process, as in the hit / fail determination process described later, when the probability variation flag = 1, the probability variation table is valid and the random number for determining the first jackpot is determined whether or not it is a jackpot. On the other hand, when the probability variation flag = 0, the normal table is valid and it is determined whether or not the random number for determining the first big hit is a big hit.

In S120, it is determined whether or not the second start port switch 12a has detected the game ball. In the case of a negative determination (S120: No), the start winning process is terminated, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S120: Yes), the process proceeds to S125. In S125, it is determined whether or not the number of second reserved storage has reached the upper limit value (for example, four). In the case of an affirmative determination (S125: Yes), the start winning process is terminated, and in the case of a negative determination (S125: No), the process proceeds to S130. In S130, the second extraction random number holding storage process is executed. In this second extraction random number hold storage process, a random number for determining a second jackpot, a random number for determining a second jackpot symbol, a random number for reach determination, a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern, etc. are extracted and stored as the second hold storage, and at the same time, the second is stored. (Ii) Add 1 to the second hold number counter indicating the number of hold storages, and perform the processing necessary for turning on the second special figure hold number display device 19 according to the information of the second hold number counter. After S130, proceed to S135.

In S135, the same look-ahead determination process as in S115 is executed. That is, a process of determining whether or not the second jackpot determination random number extracted in S130 is a jackpot is performed, and if it is a jackpot determination, one jackpot game content is further based on the second jackpot symbol determination random number. judge. Then, the information indicating the determination result of whether or not the jackpot is a big hit and the information indicating the determination result of the big hit game content are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83.
Even in the look-ahead determination process of S135, when the probability variation flag = 1, the probability variation table is valid, and when the probability variation flag = 0, the normal table is valid, and it is determined whether or not the random number for determining the first jackpot is a jackpot. ..

Next, the pass / fail determination process executed by the main control device 80 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 to 12. This hit / fail determination process is one of the subroutines called in the pass / fail determination process (S55) of the main routine described above.

In the hit / fail determination process, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the special electric accessory is operating (that is, the big hit game or the small hit game is being executed) (S150). Then, in the case of an affirmative determination (S150: Yes), the pass / fail determination process is terminated, and in the case of a negative determination (S150: No), the process proceeds to S155. In S155, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination (S155: Yes), the process proceeds to S300 in FIG. 11, and in the case of a negative determination (S155: No), the process proceeds to S160. In S160, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is being confirmed and displayed. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S160: Yes) and S350 in FIG. 12, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S160: No) and S165.

In S165, it is determined whether or not there is an undigested second reserved memory, and in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S165: Yes) and S170, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S165: No) and S175. .. In S170, the number of the second reserved memory is decremented, the oldest undigested second reserved memory is selected, and the information (numerical data such as random numbers) stored in the second reserved memory is determined as the second big hit. Move to the given buffer for. In this way, the second reserved memory is digested.

In S175, it is determined whether or not there is an undigested first reserved memory, and in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S175: Yes) and S180, and in the case of a negative determination (S175: No), a pass / fail determination process is performed. To finish. In S180, the number of the first reserved memory is decremented, the oldest undigested first reserved memory is selected, and the information (numerical data such as random numbers) stored in the first reserved memory is determined as the first big hit. Move to the given buffer for. In this way, the first reserved memory is digested.
In the pass / fail determination process of this embodiment, the second hold memory is prioritized over the first hold memory and is the target of the pass / fail determination. Therefore, the first hold memory is subject to the pass / fail judgment only when there is no undigested second hold memory.

In S185, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1, and in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S185: Yes) and S190, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S185: No) and S195. Here, the probability variation flag = 1 indicates the above-mentioned probability variation gaming state (“high probability mode / time saving mode / open extension mode”), and the probability variation flag = 0 indicates the above-mentioned normal gaming state (“low probability”). Mode / Non-time saving mode / Non-opening extension mode ”).

In S190, a hit / fail judgment table (probability variation table) corresponding to the set set value and the high probability mode is selected, and the jackpot determination random number moved to the jackpot determination buffer based on the selected probability variation table is used. , Determine if it is a big hit. Here, in this embodiment, it is also determined whether or not the large hit determination random number is a small hit based on the selected probability variation table. Further, in S190, the remaining number of hit / fail determinations (probability change number) that can be executed in the probability change game state (probability change flag = 1) is decremented. This probability variation is decremented in both the digestion of the first reserved memory and the digestion of the second reserved memory described later.
After the processing of S190, the process proceeds to S200.

On the other hand, in S195, a hit / fail determination table (normal table) corresponding to the set set value and the low probability mode is selected, and the jackpot determination is moved to the jackpot determination buffer based on the selected normal table. Determine whether the random number is a big hit. Here, in this embodiment, it is also determined whether or not the large hit determination random number is a small hit based on the selected normal table. After the processing of S195, the process proceeds to S200.

In S200, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the determination result of S190 or S195, and if it is an affirmative determination, it proceeds to (S200: Yes), S205, and if it is a negative determination (S200: No), S220. Proceed to.

In S205, the jackpot symbol mode of the special symbol is determined based on the jackpot symbol determination random number (the jackpot symbol determination random number in the jackpot determination buffer) related to the digested hold memory, and the first to sixth hit symbols are determined. One of the big hit game contents is determined (see FIG. 6). More specifically, the first to sixth big hit game contents are assigned to a plurality of big hit symbol modes that can be selected by the big hit symbol determination random numbers, and one big hit symbol mode is determined by the big hit symbol determination random numbers. , The content of one jackpot game assigned to the determined jackpot symbol mode is determined.
Here, in this embodiment, the probability of each jackpot symbol mode determined by the random number for determining the jackpot symbol is determined based on the selection probability of the first to sixth jackpot game contents described above. Specifically, the probability of determining the jackpot symbol mode to which the first jackpot game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (25/100) of the first jackpot game content. Further, the probability of determining the jackpot symbol mode to which the second jackpot game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (25/100) of the second jackpot game content. Similarly, the probability of determining the jackpot symbol mode to which the third jackpot game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (15/100) of the third jackpot game content, and the jackpot symbol to which the fourth jackpot game content is assigned corresponds to. The probability of determining the aspect corresponds to the selection probability (15/100) of the fourth jackpot game content, and the probability of determining the jackpot symbol aspect to which the fourth jackpot game content is assigned is the probability of determining the fourth jackpot game content. The probability corresponding to the selection probability (15/100) and determining the jackpot symbol mode to which the fifth jackpot game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (10/100) of the fifth jackpot game content and is the sixth jackpot. The probability of determining the jackpot symbol mode to which the game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (10/100) of the sixth jackpot game content.

In the subsequent variation pattern determination process of S210, the variation time of the special symbol is based on the variation pattern determination random number or the like (variation pattern determination random number or the like in the buffer for jackpot determination) related to the digested hold memory and the probability variation flag. Is determined, and the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined according to the variation time.
More specifically, the variation time of the special symbol that can be selected is predetermined according to the probability variation flag, and the variation time of the special symbol is determined according to the above-mentioned random number for determining the variation pattern. That is, when the probability variation flag = 0 (normal game state), since it is in the non-time saving mode, it is possible to select the variation time of the special symbol corresponding to the non-time saving mode, and the random number for determining the variation pattern of the digested hold memory. The fluctuation time of the special symbol is determined by such factors. On the other hand, when the probability variation flag = 1 (probability variation game state), since the time reduction mode is used, the variation time of the special symbol corresponding to the time reduction mode can be selected, and the variation time is determined by a random number for determining the variation pattern or the like. ..

In the following S215, the number of rounds of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game are set according to the contents of the big hit game determined in S205 (see FIG. 6). Here, it is decided to switch to the low probability mode, the non-time saving mode, and the non-open extension mode when shifting to the normal gaming state after the big hit game, and when shifting to the probabilistic gaming state, the above-mentioned high. Decide to switch to probability mode, time saving mode, and open extension mode. Further, in S215, the effect time and the effect pattern (the effect time and the effect pattern between the big hit start effect and the big hit end effect) and the interval time related to the big hit game are also set.
After this S215, the process proceeds to S250.

In S220, whether or not it is a small hit is determined based on the determination result of S190 or S195. Here, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S220: Yes) and S225, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S220: No) and S240.

In S225, the small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol related to the digested hold memory, and the process proceeds to S230.
In the variation pattern determination process of S230, the variation time of the special symbol is determined based on the variation pattern determination random number or the like (variation pattern determination random number or the like in the buffer for jackpot determination) related to the digested hold storage and the probability variation flag. It is decided, and the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol is determined according to the fluctuation time.
In the following S235, the opening operation pattern of the large winning opening 14 in the small hit game, the production time related to the small hit game, and the like are set, and the process proceeds to S250.

Further, in S240 following the negative determination of S220, a special symbol is obtained based on the variation pattern determination random number or the like (variation pattern determination random number or the like in the buffer for jackpot determination) related to the digested hold memory and the probability variation flag. In addition to determining the fluctuation time and fluctuation pattern of, the process of determining the lost symbol is performed prior to this. In the following S245, the processing related to the loss is performed, and the process proceeds to S250.
In this embodiment, the process of determining the lost symbol is performed in S240, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration may be provided in which a process of determining the lost symbol is provided before S240.

In S250, the hold number command indicating the number of undigested hold storages after decrementing in S170 and S180, and the information of the hit / fail determination result (big hit, small hit, or loss) determined in S190 and S195 are displayed. The included command and the variation start command including the jackpot game content determined in S205, the variation time of the special symbol, the stop mode of the special symbol, and the like are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. This variable start command also includes information indicating whether the digested hold memory is the first hold memory or the second hold memory. Further, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is driven and controlled according to the stored hold storage to start the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the pass / fail determination process is completed. do.
When the sub-integrated control device 83 receives such a command, the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the information indicated in the command (the number of undigested pending memories, the fluctuation time of the special symbol, the hit / fail determination result, the stop mode of the special symbol, the content of the big hit game, etc. ) Is stored in a predetermined buffer. Then, the sub-integrated control device 83 transmits a command to the effect symbol control device 82 in accordance with the fluctuation start command, and the effect symbol control device 82 drives and controls the effect symbol display device 6 according to the received command. , The display of the pseudo special symbol corresponding to the information of the stop symbol mode and the variation pattern of the special symbol is started.

(S300: No) ends the pass / fail determination process. In S305, the variable display of the special symbol is terminated, and the confirmed symbol of the special symbol (that is, the big hit symbol determined in S205, the small hit symbol determined in S225, or the lost symbol determined in S240) is displayed. A symbol confirmation command for executing the confirmation display of the effect symbol is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the pass / fail determination process is terminated.

In S350 of FIG. 12 following the affirmative determination of S160 described above, it is determined whether or not the duration of the confirmation display of the special symbol has expired, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S350: Yes), the process proceeds to S355 and a negative determination is made. In the case of (S350: No), the hit / fail determination process is terminated. In S355, the confirmation display of the special symbol is finished, and the process proceeds to S360. In S360, it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is the jackpot symbol mode, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to S365 (S360: Yes), and if the determination is negative, the procedure proceeds to (S360: No). move on. In S365, the probability change flag is referred to, and when the probability change flag = 1, the probability change flag is cleared (S370), the number of probability changes described above is cleared (S380), and the process proceeds to S390. After that, by sequentially executing the state designation command transmission process (S390), the condition device operation start process (S395), the accessory continuous operation device operation start process (S400), and the big hit start effect process (S405), the mode of the big hit game. A command indicating the above, a command instructing the start of the big hit game, and the like are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 to start the big hit game and end the winning / failing determination process.

On the other hand, in S410 following the negative determination of S360, the probability variation flag is referred to, and when the probability variation flag = 1 (S410: Yes), the remaining number of hit / fail determinations that can be executed during the probability variation mode (probability variation number) is determined. Refer to (S415). Then, when the number of probability changes = 0 (S415: Yes), the probability change flag is cleared (S420), and the process proceeds to S440. On the other hand, in the case of a negative determination of S415 (S415: No), the process proceeds to S440.
In this embodiment, the number of probable changes = 10000 times is set each time the probabilistic game state is reached (S620 described later). Therefore, the probabilistic gaming state is substantially continued until the next big hit is determined.

In S440, the state designation command transmission process is executed, and the process proceeds to S445. In S445, it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a symbol that becomes a small hit. By sequentially executing the small hit start effect processing (S455), a command indicating the mode of the small hit game, a command instructing the start of the small hit game, and the like are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the small hit game is performed. Is started, and the pass / fail judgment process is terminated. Further, in the case of a negative determination in S445 (S445: No), the hit / fail determination process is terminated.

In the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S520: Yes) and S525, and in the case of a negative determination (S520: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. Here, in the present embodiment, in the case of an affirmative determination (S520: Yes), a signal indicating that the start effect time has elapsed is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83.

In S525, the large winning opening opening process for opening the large winning opening 14 is executed. In this large winning opening opening process, in synchronization with the opening start of the large winning opening 14, the time digestion of the opening time (for example, 30 seconds) preset as the maximum opening time of the large winning opening 14 in the opening round is started. .. After this big winning opening opening process, the big hit game process is finished. Here, the time digestion of the opening time is performed by the subtraction process of the opening timer. Specifically, the release timer is preset with a counter value corresponding to the release time (30 seconds), and a process of subtracting the counter value each time the jackpot game process is executed (for each timer interrupt process) is performed. It is assumed that the opening time has elapsed when the counter value becomes 0. As a matter of course, the opening time measuring means is not limited to the subtraction process of the opening timer, and other means can also be used.

In S550 of FIG. 14 following the affirmative determination of S505, it is determined whether or not the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening 14 is 10. In the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S550: Yes) and S560, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S550: No) and S555. In S555, it is determined whether or not the opening time (30 seconds) has elapsed due to the time digestion of the opening timer described above. Here, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S555: Yes) and S560, and in the case of a negative determination (S555: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. In S560, the large winning opening closing process is executed, and the large winning opening 14 is closed (the opening round is completed). In the following S565, the jackpot interval process for setting the interval between each open round of the jackpot game is executed, and the jackpot game process is terminated.

In S570 of FIG. 14 following the affirmative determination of S510, it is determined whether or not the interval time of the big hit game has elapsed. Here, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S570: Yes) and S575, and in the case of a negative determination (S570: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. In S575, it is determined whether or not the final round has ended, and in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S575: Yes) and S580, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S575: No) and S585.
In S580, the jackpot end effect process for performing the effect when ending the jackpot game is executed, and the signal indicating the start of the jackpot end effect is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. After this S580, the jackpot game process ends.
In S585, the large winning opening opening process is executed. In this process, the same process as in S525 described above is performed to open the large winning opening 14 and start time digestion for the opening time (30 seconds).

Further, in S600 of FIG. 15 following the affirmative determination of S515, it is determined whether or not the time for the jackpot end effect has ended. In the case of an affirmative determination (S600: Yes), the process proceeds to S605, and the S605 and S610 are executed in sequence, while in the case of a negative determination (S600: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. In S605 and S610, the accessory continuous operation device and the condition device are stopped, and the process proceeds to S615. In S615, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probabilistic gaming state after the big hit game. Here, in the case of affirmative determination (S615: Yes), the number of hit / fail determinations that can be executed during the probabilistic game state (probability variation number) is set (S620), the probability variation flag = 1 (S625), and the process proceeds to S640. .. In S640 and S645, a process of transmitting a jackpot end command for ending the effect related to the jackpot game and a state designation command transmission process are executed for the sub-integrated control device 83, and the jackpot game process is terminated.

Next, the main part of the present invention will be described with reference to Examples 1 to 3.

The pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment produces a hold consecutive villa effect suggesting that there is an undigested first hold memory or second hold memory that is determined to be a big hit during the big hit game. The sub-integrated control device 83 is used to display and control the reserved consecutive villa effect. Here, in the first embodiment, the hold consecutive villa effect is displayed while the big hit end effect of the big hit game is displayed.

In the configuration of the first embodiment, the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 (see FIG. 18) suggesting only that there is an undigested hold memory (first hold memory, second hold memory) to be determined as a jackpot as a hold consecutive villa effect. It includes an effect mode to be displayed, an effect mode in which there is an undigested hold memory determined to be a big hit, and specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b (see FIG. 19) suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed. Then, when the display of the jackpot end effect is started (when the final opening round is completed), if the predetermined first suggestion condition is satisfied, the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed. Then, when the predetermined second suggestion condition is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is displayed.

Here, the first suggestion condition is that there is an undigested pending memory that is determined to be a big hit when the big hit end effect of the big hit game by the contents of the third to sixth big hit games is started. It is set that there is an undigested hold memory that is determined to be a jackpot and is determined to be the content of the third to sixth jackpot games when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game based on the contents of the two jackpot games is started. On the other hand, the second suggestion condition is an undigested hold that is determined to be a jackpot and is determined to be the content of the first and second jackpot games when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game based on the first and second jackpot game contents is started. I have a memory.
Specifically, a jackpot game is performed by four open rounds, and among the undigested hold memories stored during the jackpot game, the hold memory determined to be a jackpot that performs four open rounds is In a certain case (second suggestion condition), the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are displayed in the jackpot end effect. In addition, when a jackpot game is performed by 7 or 10 open rounds, and there is a hold memory determined to be a jackpot among the undigested hold memories stored during the jackpot game (first suggestion condition). ) And a jackpot game with 4 open rounds, and among the undigested hold memories stored during the jackpot game, the hold memory that is determined to be a jackpot that performs 7 or 10 open rounds. When there is (first suggestion condition), the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed.
In addition, when the big hit end effect is started, if all the undigested hold memories are judged to be lost, the hold consecutive villa effect is not displayed.

Further, the configuration of this embodiment includes two types of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b, and one of them is selectively displayed based on the set values 1 to 3 that are set. Specifically, when the set value 1 is set in the winning probability, the specific suggestion symbol 102a is selected, and when the set value 3 is set, the specific suggestion symbol 102b is selected. Then, when the set value 2 is set, one of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is selected by lottery. From these facts, the specific suggestion symbol 102a suggests that the jackpot winning probability is low, and the specific suggestion symbol 102b suggests that the jackpot winning probability is high.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the second suggestion condition for displaying the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is in the jackpot game according to the contents of the first and second jackpot games having the smallest number of rounds, and the first It is assumed that there is undigested pending memory that is judged to be the content of the first and second big hit games. That is, in the first embodiment, the number of prize balls that can be obtained in the big hit game by the number of seven rounds is defined as the intermediate profit of the profit that can be obtained by the content of each big hit game, which is less than the number of the seven rounds 4. The contents of the first and second jackpot games including the number of rounds are defined as the constituent requirements of the second suggestion condition (specific jackpot game contents according to the present invention).

As described above, the hold consecutive villa effect is displayed and controlled by the sub-integrated control device 83. The sub-integrated control device 83 is based on the information (win / fail determination result, big hit game content) transmitted from the main control device 80 by the above-mentioned hit / fail determination process S250 and the pre-reading determination process (S115, 135) of the above-mentioned start winning process. Whether or not the first suggestion condition and the second suggestion condition are satisfied based on the information transmitted from the main control device 80 (the result of determining whether or not the undigested reserved memory is correct and the result of determining the content of the jackpot game). Is performed.
Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, one of the set values 1 to 3 is selectively set by the probability setting switch 95 and the power-on, and is set at the time of power-on. A signal indicating the set value is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. Since the sub-integrated control device 83 stores the set value indicated by the received signal in the RAM, the set value stored in the RAM can be checked at any time at least when the power is on. Since a conventionally known process can be applied to the process of transmitting a signal from the main control device 80 to the sub-integrated control device 83 when the power is turned on, the details will be omitted.

Further, in this embodiment, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the effect displayed by the effect symbol display device 6 by sequence control, and the hold consecutive villa effect displayed by the jackpot end effect is performed on the sequence line. Execute by switching. That is, when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the command to start the big hit game from the main control device 80, the information (number of rounds, big hit game effect, and big hit end effect) obtained by the variable start command is performed by an effect process (not shown). According to the effect time, etc.), the start effect display pattern of the jackpot start effect, the round effect display pattern of the open round, the end effect display pattern of the jackpot end effect, etc. are generated, and the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is incorporated into the end effect display pattern. The big hit suggestion end display pattern, the first suggestion end display pattern in which the specific suggestion symbol 102a is incorporated in the end effect display pattern, and the second suggestion end display pattern in which the specific suggestion symbol 102b is incorporated in the end effect display pattern. And generate. Then, when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives a command from the main control device 80 instructing the start of the jackpot game by the hit / fail determination process S405, the sub-integrated control device 83 displays the jackpot start effect on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the open effect display pattern. Start. After that, when the signal indicating the lapse of the start effect time is received by the jackpot game process S520, the open effect display pattern is switched to the round effect display pattern to display the effect. After that, when the signal indicating the start of the big hit end effect is received by the big hit game process S580, the big hit end effect is started to be displayed according to the end effect display pattern. Then, when the first suggestion condition is satisfied, the end effect display pattern is switched to the jackpot suggestion end display pattern by the switching control of the sequence line. As a result, in the jackpot end effect, the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed. On the other hand, when the second suggestion condition is satisfied, the end effect display pattern is switched to the first suggestion end display pattern or the second suggestion end display pattern by the switching control of the sequence line. As a result, in the jackpot end effect, the hold consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is displayed. Further, if neither the first suggestion condition nor the second suggestion condition is satisfied, the jackpot end effect by the end effect display pattern continues.
Since conventionally known techniques can be applied to such sequence control, the details thereof will be omitted.

Next, the hold consecutive villa effect process for displaying and controlling the hold consecutive villa effect will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This hold consecutive villa effect process is a process that is periodically (for example, a timer interrupt process with a 2 ms cycle) executed by the sub-integrated control device 83, and is mainly controlled by the jackpot end effect process (S580) of the jackpot game process. This is executed when a signal for starting the jackpot end effect is received from the device 80.
Then, in the first embodiment, the sub-integrated control device 83 extracts the specific suggestion lottery random number by the random number extraction process (not shown), triggered by the reception of the fluctuation start command, and determines the extracted specific suggestion lottery random number. Store in the buffer of. This specific suggestion lottery random number takes a predetermined number (for example, 60) of integer values and is created periodically (for each timer interrupt process) in ascending order.

In the hold consecutive villa effect processing, it is determined in S1000 whether or not a signal for starting the big hit end effect has been received from the main control device 80. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S1000: Yes) and S1005, and in the case of a negative determination (S1000: No), the pending consecutive villa production process is terminated.

In S1005, it is determined whether or not the undigested reserved memory to be determined as a big hit is stored. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S1005: Yes) and S1010, and in the case of a negative determination (S1005: No), the pending consecutive villa production process is terminated. Here, as described above, in the sub-integrated control device 83, information on whether or not the undigested hold storage is determined as a big hit is transmitted from the main control device 80 by S115 or S135 of the start winning process and stored. Has been done. S1005 makes a determination with reference to this information.

In S1010, it is determined whether or not the undigested hold memory determined to be the first jackpot game content or the second jackpot game content is stored. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S1010: Yes) and S1015, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S1010: No) and S1030. Here, the information on whether or not the undigested reserved memory is determined to be the first jackpot game content or the second jackpot game content is mainly determined by S115 or S135 of the start winning process, as in the above-mentioned jackpot determination information. It is transmitted from the control device 80 and stored. S1010 makes a determination with reference to this information.

In S1015, it is determined whether or not the running jackpot game is due to the content of the first jackpot game or the content of the second jackpot game. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to (S1015: Yes) and S1020, and in the case of a negative determination, the process proceeds to (S1015: No) and S1030. Here, the variation start command transmitted from the main control device 80 by the hit / fail determination process S250 includes information on the contents of the big hit game, and when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the variation start command, the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the variation start command. , Remember this information. In S1015, it is determined whether or not the running jackpot game is based on the first jackpot game content or the second jackpot game content with reference to the stored information on the jackpot game content.

In S1020, a process of confirming the set value is performed. Here, as described above, the information of the set value set is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 by the process at the time of turning on the power, and the information is stored.

In the following S1025, the specific suggestion symbol 102a or the specific suggestion symbol 102b to be used for the reserved consecutive villa effect is selected and determined based on the set value confirmed in S1020. More specifically, in the case of the setting value 1 (lowest jackpot winning probability), the specific suggestion symbol 102a is selected, and in the case of the setting value 3 (highest jackpot winning probability), the specific suggestion symbol 102b is selected. On the other hand, in the case of the set value 2, the specific suggestion symbol 102a or the specific suggestion symbol 102b is selected by determining the above-mentioned specific suggestion lottery random number. Here, in the determination of the specific suggestion extraction random number, the probability of selecting the specific suggestion symbol 102a and the specific suggestion symbol 102b is set to 1/2 respectively.
Further, when the specific suggestion symbol 102a is selected, the display by the first suggestion end display pattern including the specific suggestion symbol 102a is determined. On the other hand, when the specific suggestion symbol 102b is selected, the display by the second suggestion end display pattern including the specific suggestion symbol 102b is determined.
After such S1025, the process proceeds to S1040.

On the other hand, in S1030 following the negative determination of S1010 or S1015, the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 used for the reserved consecutive villa production is determined. Then, the display by the jackpot suggestion end display pattern including the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is determined. After this S1030, the process proceeds to S1040.

In S1040, a process of switching the end effect display pattern of the jackpot end effect to the display pattern determined in S1025 or S1030 is performed. Here, when the first suggestion end display pattern is determined by S1025, sequence control is performed to switch from the end effect display pattern to the first suggestion end display pattern. As a result, in the effect symbol display device 6, the hold consecutive villa effect of displaying the specific suggestion symbol 102a is performed in the jackpot end effect. Further, when the second suggestion end display pattern is determined by S1025, the sequence control for switching from the end effect display pattern to the second suggestion end display pattern is performed. As a result, in the effect symbol display device 6, the hold consecutive villa effect of displaying the specific suggestion symbol 102b is performed in the jackpot end effect. Furthermore, when the jackpot suggestion end display pattern is determined by S1030, sequence control is performed to switch from the end effect display pattern to the jackpot suggestion end display pattern. As a result, in the effect symbol display device 6, the hold consecutive villa effect of displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is performed in the jackpot end effect.

It should be noted that the second suggestion condition is satisfied by affirming all of S1005, S1010, and S1015 in the reserved consecutive villa effect processing. Further, the first suggestion condition is satisfied by affirming S1005 and affirming only one of S1010 and S1015.

Next, the jackpot end effect for displaying the hold consecutive villa effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 21.
For example, in the normal gaming state (or probabilistic gaming state) in which the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory are stored, when the second reserved memory is digested, the second special figure display device 10 displays the second special. The symbols start to fluctuate (not shown), and along with this, the pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c are variablely displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 as shown in FIG. 17 (A). Here, in the normal gaming state or the probabilistic gaming state, the first reserved symbol 116 indicating the stored number of the first reserved storage is set in the first reserved storage number display area 115 defined at the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The second reserved symbol 119 is displayed and is displayed in the second reserved storage number display area 118 defined at the lower right of the screen, indicating the stored number of the second reserved storage. In the first reserved storage number display area 115, the storage number of the first reserved storage is notified by the display number of the first reserved symbol 116, and in the second reserved storage number display area 118, the display number of the second reserved symbol 119 is used. , Notifies the number of second reserved storage.

Although not shown, the first reserved symbol 116 and the second reserved symbol 119 may be displayed to show the expected degree of jackpot of the first reserved memory and the second reserved symbol. For example, an effect of changing the display mode of the first reserved symbol 116 and the second reserved symbol 119 (change in display color or display shape) based on the determination result by the pre-reading determination process (S115, S135) of the start winning process described above. (Changes, etc.) are performed to notify that there is undigested pending memory that is likely to be a big hit. Here, since the effect indicating the degree of expectation of a big hit indicates that the player is likely to be a big hit, the big hit may not be performed. Therefore, based on the determination result of the look-ahead determination process, it is possible to determine by lottery whether or not to produce the jackpot expectation degree.

When a predetermined fluctuation time elapses from the start of the fluctuation of the second special symbol, the second special symbol stops fluctuating, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 17B, the effect symbol display device 6 has the effect symbol display device 6. Pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c are stopped and displayed. Here, when the second special symbol is a big hit, the pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c are fixedly stopped in the big hit symbol mode. As a result, the player is notified of the confirmation of the big hit.

When the big hit is confirmed, the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 14 is started, and along with this, the big hit start effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. In this jackpot start effect, as shown in FIG. 17C, a message symbol 121 and a character symbol 122 indicating the start of the jackpot game are displayed. In this embodiment, the first reserved symbol 116 and the second reserved symbol 119 are not displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 during the big hit game.

When the opening round for opening the big winning opening 14 is started after the big hit start effect is finished, a message indicating that the big hit game is in progress on the effect symbol display device 6 as shown in FIG. 17 (D). The symbol 124 and the message symbol 125 indicating the open round being executed are displayed. The effect of displaying the message symbols 124 and 125 is performed from the start of the first open round to the end of the final open round (4 times, 7 times, or 10 times). Further, in this embodiment, the character symbol 122 is continuously displayed.

After that, when the final open round is reached, as shown in FIG. 18A, the message symbol 125 notifies that the final open round is reached. Here, when the big hit game in which the number of rounds is four is performed, the message symbol 125 indicating the final fourth open round is displayed. The jackpot game in this case is executed by determining the content of the first jackpot game or the content of the second jackpot game (see FIG. 6) by digesting the reserved memory.

Then, when the final fourth opening round is completed, the effect symbol display device 6 executes the jackpot end effect, and the message symbol 105 indicating the end of the jackpot game is displayed. Further, in this jackpot end effect, if the first suggestion condition is satisfied at the start of the effect (at the end of the final round), the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed as shown in FIGS. 18B and 18C. Hold consecutive villa production is executed. Here, the first suggestion condition is that, as described above, there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the content of the third to sixth jackpot games during the jackpot game based on the content of the first or second jackpot game. .. Therefore, the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 of the hold consecutive villa production suggests that the undigested hold memory includes the hold memory for determining the jackpot based on the contents of the third to sixth jackpot games.
In the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game, when transitioning to the probabilistic gaming state after the jackpot game (contents of the first jackpot game), as shown in FIG. 18B, the transition to the probabilistic gaming state is suggested. The effect symbol 107 to be performed is displayed. On the other hand, when shifting to the normal gaming state, the effect symbol 107 is not displayed as shown in FIG. 18C.

Further, in the same big hit game in which the number of rounds is four, if the second suggested condition is satisfied at the start of the big hit end effect, as shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C, the big hit end effect is produced. In, a reserved consecutive villa effect for displaying the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is executed. Here, the second suggestion condition is that, as described above, there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the content of the first or second jackpot game during the jackpot game based on the content of the first or second jackpot game. ..
Then, when the second suggestion condition is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbol 102a and the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbol 102b are selectively selected according to the set setting values 1 to 3. Will be executed. That is, when the second suggestion condition is satisfied and the set value 1 is set when the final open round (FIG. 19 (A)) is completed, the specific suggestion is as shown in FIG. 19 (B). The hold consecutive villa production of the symbol 102a is executed. Further, when the set value 3 is set, as shown in FIG. 19C, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbol 102b is executed. Furthermore, when the set value 2 is set, the specific suggestion symbol 102a is displayed (FIG. 19 (B)) and the specific suggestion symbol 102b is displayed (FIG. 19 (C)) by lottery as described above. One of them is decided, and the hold consecutive villa production is executed.

Since these specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are displayed when the second suggestion condition is satisfied and are selectively displayed based on the set values 1 to 3, they are jackpots in the first or second jackpot game content. It suggests that there is undigested pending memory to be determined (corresponding to the above-mentioned jackpot suggestion information and jackpot content suggestion information), and also suggests set values 1 to 3 (corresponding to winning probability information). Specifically, the specific suggestion symbol 102a has an undigested hold memory for determining a jackpot in the first or second jackpot game content, and also has a set value 1 or an intermediate set value 2 having the lowest jackpot winning probability. Suggests that is set. On the other hand, in the specific suggestion symbol 102b, in addition to having undigested hold memory for determining the jackpot in the first or second jackpot game content, the setting value 3 having the highest jackpot winning probability or the setting value 2 in the middle is set. Suggest that you are.

Although not shown, in the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game, in the case of transitioning to the probabilistic game state after the jackpot game (contents of the first jackpot game), the probabilistic game state is entered as in FIG. 18 (B). An effect symbol 107 suggesting a transition is displayed.

On the other hand, in the big hit game in which the number of rounds is seven (the content of the third or fourth big hit game), as shown in FIG. 20A, the message symbol 125 is displayed in the final open round. After that, when the final open round ends (when the big hit end effect is started), if there is an undigested hold memory for determining the big hit, the first suggestion condition is satisfied. As shown in 20 (C) and 20 (D), the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed. Here, in the case of transitioning to the probabilistic gaming state after the jackpot game (contents of the third jackpot game), as shown in FIG. 20C, the effect symbol 107 is displayed while shifting to the normal gaming state. In the case (contents of the fourth big hit game), as shown in FIG. 20 (D), the effect symbol 107 is not displayed.

Further, in the jackpot game in which the number of rounds is 10 (contents of the fifth or sixth jackpot game), as shown in FIG. 20B, the message symbol 125 is displayed in the final open round. After that, when the first suggestion condition is satisfied at the end of the final open round, as in the case of the number of the seven rounds, in the jackpot end effect, as shown in FIGS. 20 (C) and 20 (D). The hold consecutive villa production of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed.

Further, in the same big hit game in which the number of rounds is four, neither the first suggestion condition nor the second suggestion condition is satisfied at the start of the big hit end effect (at the end of the final open round). And, the hold consecutive villa production is not executed in the jackpot end production.
That is, when the final open round (FIG. 21 (A)) is completed, if there is no undigested hold memory for determining the jackpot, the effect symbol display device 6 shows in FIGS. 21 (B) and 21 (C). The jackpot end effect of displaying the message symbol 105 is executed. Here, in the case of shifting to the probabilistic gaming state after the big hit game, as shown in FIG. 21B, the effect symbol 107 suggesting the transition to the probabilistic gaming state is displayed. On the other hand, when shifting to the normal gaming state, the effect symbol 107 is not displayed as shown in FIG. 21 (C).
Even in a big hit game where the number of rounds is 7 or 10, if there is no undigested hold memory to judge the big hit when the final open round is finished, the hold consecutive villa production is performed by the big hit end production. Do not execute (see FIGS. 21B and 21C).

Next, the features of the first embodiment will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment has an undigested hold memory determined to be a jackpot of the minimum number of rounds when the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds (contents of the first or second jackpot game) is executed. And, in the jackpot end effect, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed.
According to this configuration, the player can know that the big hits are continuously generated by the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b, so that the player is stimulated by the emotion of expecting the continuous big hits. Will be done. In addition, since the player can know whether the set jackpot winning probability is high or low, the player can use it as a material for determining whether or not to continue the game on the machine. Here, since the set value (big hit winning probability) set for each machine is one of the information that the player most wants to know for selecting the machine, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b suggesting this. It can be said that the display of is a high-value benefit for the player. As described above, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b have a role of suggesting information in which a minimum number of big hits are continuously generated (big hit suggestion information and jackpot content suggestion information), and information indicating the set value (winning probability information). Has a role that suggests. As a result, in the configuration of the first embodiment, when the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is executed, the emotions of the player who is thrilled in anticipation of the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are stimulated. During the jackpot game, new interests that have never existed before can occur. In detail, with a conventional pachinko machine that simply selectively determines the number of rounds, even if it becomes a big hit, if it is a big hit game with the minimum number of rounds, there are few prize balls that can be obtained. The emotions of the uplifted player diminish. On the other hand, in the configuration of the first embodiment, if the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is executed, the above-mentioned emotion is generated because the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is expected. It is possible to suppress the decline of the game, and further increase the player's interest in the jackpot with the minimum number of rounds. Therefore, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is displayed (when the second suggestion condition is satisfied), if the set value is 2, the specific suggestion symbol 102a or the specific suggestion is drawn. Since the symbol 102b is displayed, it is difficult for the player to know the set value accurately even if the reserved consecutive villa effect is displayed. Therefore, the player desires that the reserved consecutive villa effects of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are displayed a plurality of times in order to determine the set value more accurately, and has a strong intention to continue the game. In particular, in the first embodiment, if the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbols 102a, 102b is displayed, the jackpot of the minimum number of rounds is continuously generated, so that the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbols 102a, 102b is expected. The emotions of the player can be stimulated more effectively. Therefore, the above-mentioned action and effect that the player's interest in the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds can be increased can be more stably exhibited.

Further, in the configuration of the first embodiment, when the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is executed, if there is an undigested pending memory determined to be a jackpot other than the minimum number of rounds, the jackpot end effect suggests a jackpot. The symbol 101 is displayed. The display of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 in this case has a role of suggesting information (big hit suggestion information and jackpot content suggestion information) in which a jackpot with a large number of prize balls that can be obtained occurs. As a result, the emotion of the player who expects the display of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 can be stimulated during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds. Then, by displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101, the player can expect an increase in the prize balls, so that the interest of the game is improved. As described above, the first embodiment can also have an effect of increasing the value of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 displayed during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds.

Further, in the configuration of the first embodiment, as described above, when the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is executed, new fun that has not existed in the past occurs during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds, while the number of other rounds. If the jackpot game is executed, it will be interesting to expect to win many prize balls and display the jackpot suggestion symbol 101. In this way, different fun occurs depending on the number of rounds of the jackpot game, so that it is possible to further improve the interest of the game in which the jackpot games with different profits that can be obtained are selectively executed.

In the configuration of the second embodiment, when the jackpot game of the maximum number of rounds (fifth or sixth jackpot game content) is executed, if there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the jackpot of the maximum number of rounds, the jackpot In the end effect, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed.

In the second embodiment, when the predetermined third suggestion condition is satisfied when the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game is started to be displayed (when the final tenth opening round is finished), the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is suspended. While displaying the consecutive villa effect, when the predetermined fourth suggestion condition is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is displayed.
Here, the third suggestion condition is that there is an undigested pending memory that is determined to be a big hit when starting the big hit end effect of the big hit game by the contents of the first to fourth big hit games, and the fifth and fifth jackpots. It is set that there is an undigested hold memory that is determined to be a jackpot and is determined to be the content of the first to fourth jackpot games when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game based on the six jackpot game contents is started. On the other hand, the fourth suggestion condition is an undigested hold that is determined to be a jackpot and is determined to be the content of the fifth and sixth jackpot games when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game based on the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents is started. I have a memory.

As described above, in the configuration of Example 2, the third suggested condition is set in place of the first suggested condition of Example 1 described above, and the fourth suggested condition is set in place of the second suggested condition of Example 1. Since it is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the above, the description of the same components and processes is omitted as appropriate. In the second embodiment, the first suggestion condition and the second suggestion condition are not set.
Here, in the second embodiment, as described above, the fourth suggestion condition for displaying the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is during the jackpot game according to the contents of the fifth and sixth jackpot games having the largest number of rounds. Moreover, it is assumed that there is an undigested pending memory determined to be the content of the fifth and sixth big hit games. That is, even in the second embodiment, the number of prize balls that can be obtained in the big hit game by the number of seven rounds is defined as the intermediate profit as in the first embodiment, and the number of prize balls is 10 times, which is larger than the number of the seven rounds. The fifth and sixth jackpot game contents including the number of rounds of the above are defined as the constituent requirements of the fourth suggested condition (specific jackpot game contents according to the present invention).

In the jackpot end effect of the second embodiment, the hold consecutive villa effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the third suggestion condition and the fourth suggestion condition described above.
For example, when the jackpot and the sixth jackpot game content are determined by digesting the second reserved memory (win / fail determination process), the pseudo-special symbols 110a to 110c are changed by the effect symbol display device 6 and then determined in the jackpot symbol mode. The jackpot game is started (FIGS. 17 (A) to 17 (D)). Then, at the end of the final 10th open round, if there is an undigested reserved memory determined to be the content of the first to fourth big hit games, the third suggestion condition is satisfied. As a result, in the jackpot end effect, the hold consecutive villa effect for displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is executed (FIG. 18 (C)). In the second embodiment, it is suggested that the undigested hold memory includes the hold memory for determining the big hit based on the contents of the first to fourth big hit games by the hold consecutive villa effect of the big hit suggestion symbol 101.
In the jackpot game in which the jackpot is determined based on the content of the fifth jackpot game, if the third suggestion condition is satisfied at the end of the final 10th open round, a hold consecutive villa effect for displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is executed ( FIG. 18 (B).

On the other hand, in the jackpot game determined to be a jackpot based on the content of the sixth jackpot game, if there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game at the end of the final 10th open round, the first (Iv) The suggested conditions are satisfied. Here, when the set value 1 is set, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbol 102a is executed (FIG. 19 (B)). Further, when the set value 3 is set, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbol 102b is executed (FIG. 19 (C)). Furthermore, when the set value 2 is set, the display of the specific suggestion symbol 102a (FIG. 19 (B)) and the display of the specific suggestion symbol 102b (FIG. 19 (FIG. 19)) are performed by lottery, as in the case of the first embodiment. C)) is selected and the hold consecutive villa production is executed.
In this way, the reserved consecutive villa production of the specific suggestion symbol 102a (FIG. 19 (B)) has the highest probability of winning a big hit, in addition to having an undigested reserved memory for determining a big hit in the content of the fifth or sixth big hit game. It suggests that a low setting value 1 or an intermediate setting value 2 is set. In addition, the reserved consecutive villa production (FIG. 19 (C)) of the specific suggestion symbol 102b has the highest probability of winning a big hit in addition to having an undigested reserved memory for determining a big hit in the content of the fifth or sixth big hit game. It is suggested that the set value 3 or the intermediate set value 2 is set. Although not shown, even in the case of a big hit determined by the content of the fifth big hit game, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbols 102a and 102b is displayed by the establishment of the fourth suggested condition.

Further, in the jackpot game in which the jackpot is determined based on the contents of the first to fourth jackpot games, if there is an undigested hold memory for determining the jackpot at the end of the final open round, the third suggestion condition is satisfied. In the jackpot end effect, the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed (FIGS. 20 (C) and 20 (D)).
In addition, regardless of which of the first to sixth jackpot game contents is used to determine the jackpot, if all the undigested pending memories are determined to be lost, the pending consecutive villa effect is not displayed in the jackpot end effect (Fig.). 21 (B), (C)).

As described above, the configuration of the second embodiment is an undigested hold memory determined to be a jackpot of the maximum number of rounds when the jackpot game of the maximum number of rounds (contents of the fifth or sixth jackpot game) is executed. If there is, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b suggesting the set set values 1 to 3 are displayed in the jackpot end effect. In the second embodiment, the fourth suggestion condition for displaying the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is that the jackpot game with the maximum number of rounds is in the jackpot game and the maximum number of rounds is the jackpot game content. There is an undigested hold memory to be determined. In this way, when the jackpot of the jackpot game content that can win the most prize balls is continuously generated, the player is provided with the privilege of displaying the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b that are highly valuable to the player. .. As a result, the jackpot game with the maximum number of rounds can be recognized by the player as a valuable one that brings a rare profit. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, the expectation of the player who desires the jackpot of the maximum number of rounds can be further stimulated, the interest of the game can be improved, and the contents of the jackpot game with different profits that can be obtained can be selectively selected. The fun of the game of being decided can be improved.

Further, even in the second embodiment, when the jackpot game with the maximum number of rounds is executed, the emotions of the player who is thrilled in anticipation of the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are stimulated. During the jackpot game, new interests that have never existed before can occur. Further, if the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbols 102a, 102b is displayed, the emotion of the player who expects the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbols 102a, 102b is effective even during the next maximum number of big hit games. Because it can be stimulated, the player's uplifting feeling can be maintained for a relatively long period of time. In addition, by displaying the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101, it is possible to stimulate the player's expectation for the jackpot. As described above, the same action and effect as in Example 1 described above can occur.

The configuration of the third embodiment is not determined to be a jackpot of the maximum number of rounds (fifth or sixth jackpot game content) when the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds (first or second jackpot game content) is executed. When there is a hold memory for digestion, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed in the jackpot end effect. That is, in the third embodiment, the combination of the fact that the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is being executed and the undigested pending memory determined to be the content of the jackpot game with the maximum number of rounds is the specific suggestion symbol. This is a condition (sixth suggestion condition) for displaying the reserved consecutive villa effect of 102a and 102b.

In the third embodiment, when the display of the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game is started, if the predetermined fifth suggestion condition is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed, while being predetermined. When the sixth suggestion condition is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is displayed.
Here, the fifth suggestion condition is that there is an undigested hold memory that is determined to be a big hit when the big hit end effect of the big hit game by the contents of the third to sixth big hit games is started, and the first and first conditions are mentioned. It is set that there is an undigested hold memory that is determined to be a jackpot and is determined to be the content of the first to fourth jackpot games when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game based on the contents of the two jackpot games is started. On the other hand, the sixth suggestion condition is an undigested hold that is determined to be a jackpot and is determined to be the content of the fifth and sixth jackpot games when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game based on the first and second jackpot game contents is started. I have a memory.

As described above, in the configuration of Example 3, the fifth suggestion condition is set in place of the first suggestion condition of Example 1 described above, and the sixth suggestion condition is set in place of the second suggestion condition of Example 1. Since the other parts are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description of the same components and processes is omitted as appropriate. In addition, in this Example 3, the first suggestion condition and the second suggestion condition are not set (naturally, the third and fourth suggestion conditions are not set either).
Here, even in the third embodiment, the number of prize balls that can be obtained in the big hit game by the number of seven rounds is defined as the intermediate profit as in the first and second embodiments. Then, the first and second big hit game contents (specific big hit game contents according to the present invention) including the number of four rounds less than the seven rounds and the first and second big hit game contents are combined. The sixth suggestion condition is composed of the fifth and sixth big hit game contents.

In the jackpot end effect of the third embodiment, the hold consecutive villa effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the fifth suggestion condition and the sixth suggestion condition described above.
For example, when the jackpot and the second jackpot game content are determined by digesting the second reserved memory (win / fail determination process), the pseudo-special symbols 110a to 110c are changed by the effect symbol display device 6 and then determined in the jackpot symbol mode. The jackpot game is started (FIGS. 17 (A) to 17 (D)). Then, at the end of the final fourth open round, if there is an undigested reserved memory determined to be the content of the first to fourth big hit games, the fifth suggestion condition is satisfied. As a result, in the jackpot end effect, the hold consecutive villa effect for displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is executed (FIG. 18 (C)). In the third embodiment, it is suggested that the undigested hold memory includes the hold memory for determining the big hit based on the contents of the first to fourth big hit games by the hold consecutive villa effect of the big hit suggestion symbol 101.
In the jackpot game in which the jackpot is determined based on the content of the first jackpot game, if the fifth suggestion condition is satisfied at the end of the final fourth opening round, a hold consecutive villa effect for displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is executed ( FIG. 18 (B).

On the other hand, in the jackpot game determined to be a jackpot based on the content of the second jackpot game, if there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game at the end of the final fourth open round, the first (6) The suggestion condition is satisfied. Here, when the set value 1 is set, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbol 102a is executed (FIG. 19 (B)). Further, when the set value 3 is set, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbol 102b is executed (FIG. 19 (C)). Furthermore, when the set value 2 is set, the display of the specific suggestion symbol 102a (FIG. 19 (B)) and the display of the specific suggestion symbol 102b (FIG. 19 (FIG. 19)) are performed by lottery, as in the case of the first embodiment. C)) is selected and the hold consecutive villa production is executed.
In this way, the reserved consecutive villa production of the specific suggestion symbol 102a (FIG. 19 (B)) has the highest probability of winning a big hit, in addition to having an undigested reserved memory for determining a big hit in the content of the fifth or sixth big hit game. It suggests that a low setting value 1 or an intermediate setting value 2 is set. In addition, the reserved consecutive villa production (FIG. 19 (C)) of the specific suggestion symbol 102b has the highest probability of winning a big hit in addition to having an undigested reserved memory for determining a big hit in the content of the fifth or sixth big hit game. It suggests that the set value 3 or the intermediate set value 2 is set. Although not shown, even in the case of the big hit determined by the big hit game content, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggested symbols 102a and 102b is displayed by the establishment of the sixth suggested condition.

Further, in the jackpot game in which the jackpot is determined based on the contents of the third to sixth jackpot games, if there is an undigested hold memory for determining the jackpot at the end of the final open round, the fifth suggestion condition is satisfied. In the jackpot end effect, the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is displayed (FIGS. 20 (C) and 20 (D)).
In addition, regardless of which of the first to sixth jackpot game contents is used to determine the jackpot, if all the undigested pending memories are determined to be lost, the pending consecutive villa effect is not displayed in the jackpot end effect (Fig.). 21 (B), (C)).

As described above, the configuration of the third embodiment is such that when the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds (first or second jackpot game content) is executed, the maximum number of rounds (fifth or sixth jackpot game content) is executed. If there is an undigested hold memory determined to be a big hit, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b suggesting the set set values 1 to 3 are displayed in the big hit end effect. In the third embodiment, the sixth suggestion condition for displaying the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is that the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is in the jackpot game and the maximum number of rounds is the jackpot game content. There is an undigested hold memory to be determined.
In such a configuration, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b displayed during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds have a role of suggesting the jackpot of the maximum number of rounds in which the most prize balls can be obtained, and the set values 1 to 1. It has a role suggesting 3. As a result, when the jackpot has the minimum number of rounds with few prize balls that can be obtained, the emotions of the player who desires to display the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are extremely strongly stimulated, and the specific suggestion symbols are stimulated during the jackpot game. The emotions of the player who is thrilled to expect the display of 102a and 102b are stimulated. Therefore, it is possible to dramatically increase the player's interest in the jackpot with the minimum number of rounds, and when the jackpot with the minimum number of rounds is reached, the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is not expected in the past. It's fun. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the fun of the game and to improve the fun of the game of selectively determining a plurality of big hit game contents having different profits that can be obtained.

The set values 1 to 3 correspond to an example of the winning probability information according to the present invention. The reserved consecutive villa effect for displaying the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b corresponds to an example of the suggestion effect according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, another example of Examples 1 to 3 described above will be described.
In the first embodiment, the hold consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is executed when the first suggestion condition is satisfied, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reserved consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 may not be executed. good. That is, the configuration is such that the first suggestion condition and the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 are not provided, and the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are displayed only when the second suggestion condition is satisfied. Even with this configuration, the effects caused by displaying the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b can be achieved in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
Similarly, even in the second embodiment, the configuration may be such that the reserved consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is not executed without providing the third suggestion condition. Further, even in the third embodiment, the configuration may be such that the reserved consecutive villa effect of the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 is not executed without providing the fifth suggestion condition.

Further, in the first to third embodiments, the look-ahead determination process is executed at the timing when the first hold memory and the second hold memory are stored by the respective balls entering the first start port 11 and the second start port 12. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the timing for pre-reading the undigested reserved memory can be appropriately changed and set. For example, the undigested hold memory may be pre-read at the timing when the jackpot end effect is started to be executed (in other words, the timing immediately before the display of the hold consecutive villa effect). Further, it is also possible to pre-read the undigested reserved memory at the timing of starting the jackpot game, and pre-read the newly generated undigested reserved memory during the jackpot game.
Alternatively, when each random number is extracted by entering the starting ports 11 and 12, the look-ahead determination process may be executed before the first and second reserved storages are stored. Specifically, when the ball enters the starting ports 11 and 12, a random number for determining a big hit, a random number for determining a big hit symbol, and the like are extracted and temporarily stored. Then, the look-ahead determination process determines whether or not the random number for determining the jackpot temporarily stored is a jackpot, and in the case of the jackpot determination, the content of one jackpot game is determined based on the random number for determining the jackpot symbol. After this look-ahead determination process, a process of storing each random number such as a random number for determining a big hit temporarily stored as a hold storage is performed.
Furthermore, in Examples 1 to 3, each time the undigested reserved memory is pre-read, the pre-reading information (information on the result of winning / failing and information on the content of the jackpot game) is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. Not limited to this, at the timing when the jackpot end effect is started to be executed (in other words, the timing immediately before the display of the hold consecutive villa effect), the read-ahead information about all the undigested hold storage is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. It can also be. Similarly, even in the configuration in which the look-ahead determination process is executed before the hold storage is stored, the look-ahead information may be transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 at the execution start timing of the jackpot end effect.

Further, in Examples 1 to 3, the configuration is provided with three-stage setting values 1 to 3 that define different jackpot winning probabilities, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the number of stages of the set value is appropriately changed and set. It is possible. That is, it is also possible to set the setting values 1 to 2 in two stages, the setting values 1 to 6 in six stages, and the like. Further, even if the jackpot winning probability defined for each set value is not limited to Examples 1 to 3, it can be appropriately changed and set.
Further, in the first to third embodiments, the set value information is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 at the timing when the power is turned on, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value information is transmitted. It is also possible to change the timing as appropriate. For example, the information of the set value may be transmitted at the fluctuation start timing (timing of determination of success / failure) of the first and second special symbols. Furthermore, the timing of digesting the reserved memory, the timing of stopping the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, the timing of the fixed stop of the first and second special symbols in the jackpot symbol mode, the timing of starting the jackpot game, and the jackpot end effect. It is also possible to set the timing to start.

Further, in the first to third embodiments, the first to sixth big hit game contents can be selected, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of selectable big hit game contents can be appropriately changed and set. For example, three types of jackpot game contents can be selected, and ten types of jackpot game contents can be selected. Here, by appropriately changing the set number of rounds constituting the jackpot game content and the set number of game states, it is possible to set a different number of jackpot game content from the embodiment. Specifically, four types of rounds of 4, 7, 10, and 16 times, and a normal game state, a probabilistic game state, and a time-saving game state (a state in which the time-saving mode and the open extension mode are enabled). By combining with the three types of game states, it is possible to set 12 types of jackpot game contents. Further, it is also possible to apply, for example, a small hit rush gaming state to the gaming state.
Further, the jackpot game contents of Examples 1 to 3 are configured by combining the number of rounds and the game state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various jackpot game contents can be defined. For example, the big hit game content may be composed only of the number of rounds, or may be composed only of the game state that shifts after the big hit game.

Further, in the first to sixth embodiments, the selection probabilities of the first to sixth big hit game contents can be appropriately changed and set.

Further, in the first embodiment, there is an undigested hold memory in which the second suggestion condition for displaying the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is determined to be in the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds and the content of the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the second suggested condition can be appropriately changed and set. That is, in the first embodiment, the second suggestion condition is set according to the contents of the first and second big hit games based on the intermediate profit (the number of seven rounds) targeting only the number of rounds, but the profit other than the number of rounds. The second suggestion condition can also be determined by the profit obtained by combining the number of rounds and other profits.
For example, the second suggestion condition can be set so that there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the content of the second jackpot game during the jackpot game based on the content of the second jackpot game. In this case, the content of the second jackpot game having the least profit including the number of rounds and the gaming state after the jackpot game is defined as a constituent requirement of the second suggested condition (specific jackpot game content of the present invention). In this configuration, there is a pseudo intermediate profit between the content of the third big hit game and the content of the fourth big hit game.
Alternatively, it is also possible to set the second suggestion condition according to the selection probability of the first to sixth big hit game contents. For example, it is assumed that the second suggestion condition is that there is an undigested pending memory that is in the jackpot game with the jackpot game content having the highest selection probability and is determined to be the jackpot game content with the selection probability. The second suggestion condition in this case is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, but if the selection probability of each jackpot game content is different from that of the first embodiment, the second suggestion condition may be different from that of the first embodiment.
Furthermore, the second suggested condition can be set by a combination of the jackpot game content (number of rounds and the game state after the jackpot game) and the selection probability of the jackpot game content.
In addition, also in Examples 2 and 3, similarly, the 4th suggestion condition and the 6th suggestion condition are set to include the contents including the gaming state which shifts after the big hit game, or are set according to the selection probability. It is also possible to do.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the second suggestion condition is satisfied and the set value 2 is set, the specific suggestion symbol 102a or the specific suggestion symbol 102b is selected and displayed by lottery using the specific suggestion extraction random number. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to select the specific suggestion symbol 102a or the specific suggestion symbol 102b according to another selection method. For example, in the state where the set value 2 is set, the specific suggestion symbol 102a and the specific suggestion symbol 102b may be alternately selected and displayed each time the second suggestion condition is satisfied. Alternatively, one of the specific suggestion symbol 102a and the specific suggestion symbol 102b depends on the progress of the game (for example, the number of consecutive losses, the number of prize balls per unit time, the ratio between the number of shots and the number of prize balls, etc.). It is also possible to set to select one, or to select one according to the lottery probability that changes according to the progress. By selecting the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b according to the predetermined rule in this way, as in the first embodiment, the player has a strong intention to continue the game in order to determine the set value more accurately. Therefore, there is an advantage that the operating rate of the machine base can be improved.
Similarly, even in the fourth suggestion condition of Example 2 and the sixth suggestion condition of Example 3, the specific suggestion symbol 102a and the specific suggestion symbol 102b can be selected by using various selection methods. It is possible and can produce similar effects.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the second suggestion condition is satisfied and the set value 2 is set, the specific suggestion symbols different from the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b may be displayed. By displaying the specific suggestion symbol assigned to each set value in this way, the player can accurately know the set value. The same applies to Examples 2 and 3.

Further, in Examples 1 to 3, the set setting value is suggested by the hold consecutive villa effect of displaying the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the information relating to the set setting value is not limited to this. If so, it is also possible to display a reserved consecutive villa effect that suggests other information. For example, it is possible to display a reserved consecutive villa effect that suggests information indicating whether the set set value is odd or even. Specifically, when the set value is an odd number, a predetermined suggestion symbol is displayed, while when the set value is an even number, a suggestion symbol different from the suggestion symbol is displayed. Alternatively, when there is a change in the set value (when the set value is changed from yesterday), a reserved consecutive villa effect suggesting the change in the set value can be displayed. Specifically, when the setting value is changed to a setting value with a higher jackpot winning probability than yesterday's setting value, a predetermined suggestion symbol is displayed, while the setting value is changed to a setting value with a lower jackpot winning probability than yesterday's setting value. If so, a suggestion symbol different from the suggestion symbol is displayed.

Further, in Examples 1 to 3, in the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game, the hold consecutive villa effect of displaying the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 or the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to execute the reserved consecutive villa effect other than the end effect. For example, the reserved consecutive villa effect may be executed in the jackpot start effect, or the reserved consecutive villa effect may be executed during any one or more open rounds. Alternatively, the reserved consecutive villa effect may be executed during the interval between rounds. Further, the reserved consecutive villa effect may be executed at all of these timings, or the reserved consecutive villa effect may be executed at a plurality of timings among these. Further, it is also possible to set a plurality of timings at which the reserved consecutive villa effect can be executed and select one or a plurality of timings.

Further, in Examples 1 to 3, there is an undigested hold memory determined to be a jackpot game content that is the same as or a predetermined combination of the specific jackpot game content during the jackpot game with the specific jackpot game content. And, the reserved consecutive villa display that displays the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b that suggest the set set value is executed, but it is also possible to have a different configuration.
For example, as another example 1, "holding storage generation in which a predetermined random number is extracted due to the entry of a game ball into a starting port provided in the game area and the extracted random number is stored as a holding storage up to a predetermined upper limit number". By digesting the holding memory stored by the means and the holding storage generating means, it is determined whether or not the random number of the holding storage is a big hit according to a predetermined winning probability, and when the result of the hit or fail determination is a big hit, Applicable when the winning / failing determination means for selecting one jackpot game content from among a plurality of jackpot game contents in which the profits that can be obtained by the player are different from each other and the result of the winning / failing determination by the winning / failing determination means are big hits. It has a jackpot game control means that executes a jackpot game that opens the jackpot according to the jackpot game content selected by the rejection determination means, and has a plurality of different winning probabilities, and one of them is won by the operation of the administrator. In a ball game machine equipped with a probability setting means set as valid for probability,
It is determined whether or not the random number extracted by the reserved memory generation means due to the entry into the starting port is a big hit before the hit / miss judgment by the hit / miss determination means, and further, it corresponds to the case where the result of this judgment is a big hit. When the pre-reading determination means for determining the jackpot game content selected by the rejection determination means and the jackpot determination means are determined to be a jackpot and a specific jackpot game content is selected, the jackpot determination is not performed by the look-ahead determination means. If there is a hold memory for digestion, a suggestion effect is performed to suggest winning probability information related to the winning probability set by the probability setting means during the big hit game executed based on the big hit by the applicability determination means. A ball game machine characterized by having a control means. Is proposed.
As a specific example of this alternative example 1, if there is an undigested pending memory that is determined to be a big hit during the big hit game by the contents of the first and second big hit games, the specific suggestion symbol 102a is produced in the big hit end effect of the big hit game. , 102b is displayed (see FIG. 19). Even with such a configuration, as in the first embodiment, the player can be attracted to the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, as another specific example, if there is an undigested hold memory that is determined to be a big hit during the big hit game according to the contents of the fifth and sixth big hit games, the hold sequence that displays the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b in the big hit end effect. It may be configured to execute the villa production. In this case, as in the second embodiment, the player can be made to recognize the jackpot game in which the most prize balls can be obtained as valuable.

Further, as another example 2, "holding storage in which a predetermined random number is extracted due to the entry of the game ball into the starting port provided in the game area and the extracted random number is stored as a holding storage up to a predetermined upper limit number". By digesting the holding memory stored by the generation means and the holding storage generation means, it is determined whether or not the random number of the holding storage is a big hit according to a predetermined winning probability, and when the result of the hit / fail determination is a big hit. , When the winning / failing determination means for selecting one jackpot game content from among a plurality of jackpot game contents in which the profits that can be obtained by the player are different from each other, and the result of the winning / failing determination by the winning / failing determining means is a big hit. It is equipped with a jackpot game control means that executes a jackpot game that opens the jackpot according to the jackpot game content selected by the hit / fail determination means, and a plurality of different winning probabilities, and any one of them is operated by the administrator. In a ball game machine equipped with a probability setting means set with the winning probability as valid,
It is determined whether or not the random number extracted by the reserved memory generation means due to the entry into the starting port is a big hit before the hit / miss judgment by the hit / miss determination means, and further, it corresponds to the case where the result of this judgment is a big hit. There is a look-ahead determination means for determining the content of the jackpot game selected by the rejection determination means, and an undigested hold memory for which the jackpot determination is made by the look-ahead determination means when the hit / fail determination means determines the jackpot. If the jackpot game content in the memory is a specific jackpot game content, the winning probability information related to the winning probability set by the probability setting means is suggested during the jackpot game executed based on the jackpot by the hit / fail determination means. A ball game machine characterized by being provided with a suggestion effect control means for performing a suggestion effect. Is proposed.
As a specific example of this alternative example 2, if there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the content of the first and second jackpot games during the jackpot game, the specific suggestion symbol 102a, in the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game, Execute the hold consecutive villa effect to display 102b (see FIG. 19). In such a configuration, regardless of the jackpot game content, the emotions of the player seeking the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b are stimulated, so that a new interest is created during the jackpot game. Can occur. Further, the display of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b indicates that there is an undigested reserved memory that is a big hit with a small number of prize balls that can be obtained, but since it suggests a set value, it suggests. It is possible to improve the player's interest in a big hit with a small number of prize balls that can be obtained. Further, as another specific example, if there is an undigested hold memory determined to be the content of the fifth and sixth big hit games during the big hit game, the hold sequence that displays the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b in the big hit end effect. It may be configured to execute the villa production. In this case, as in the second embodiment, the player can be made to recognize the jackpot game in which the most prize balls can be obtained as valuable.

Further, as a different configuration from Examples 1 to 3, the jackpot suggestion symbol 101 or the specific suggestion symbols 102a, 102b are displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol for determining the jackpot. A configuration is also proposed to execute the hold consecutive villa effect to be displayed. Specifically, it is determined by the big hit of the first and second big hit game contents immediately before the start of the change of the pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c or at the predetermined timing during the change display, and it is determined that the first and second big hit game contents. When the suggestion condition that there is an undigested reserved memory is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect is displayed during the variable display. Here, as the predetermined timing during the variation display, the timing at which the variation display is started, the timing at which the reach is reached, the timing at which the variation is temporarily stopped, and the like can be applied. Furthermore, even under the suggestion condition of this different configuration, there is an undigested hold memory that is determined by the big hit of the 5th and 6th big hit game contents and is judged to be the 5th and 6th big hit game contents. , The first and second jackpot game contents can be determined by the jackpot, and the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents can be appropriately set such as having undigested pending memory.

Further, in the configurations of Examples 1 to 3, random numbers related to the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (random numbers for determining the fluctuation pattern, etc.) are extracted by entering the starting ports 11 and 12 and stored as hold storage. However, the present invention may be limited to extracting the random number (random number for determining fluctuation pattern, etc.) at the time of the hit / fail determination by the hit / fail determination process.

Further, in the configurations of Examples 1 to 3, the reserved speaker effect suggesting the set set value is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reserved speaker effect is displayed. The villa effect may be executed by lighting or blinking by a lamp, or may be executed by a sound from a speaker. Further, the display on the effect symbol display device 6, the light emission by the lamp, and the sound generation by the speaker may be appropriately combined.

Further, the pachinko machines 1 of Examples 1 to 3 are configured to include the upper plate 55 and the lower plate 63, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a so-called enclosed pachinko machine may be used. The enclosed pachinko machine plays a game by circulating a predetermined number of gaming balls enclosed inside. Examples 1 to 3 and other examples described above can be applied to such an enclosed pachinko machine, and the same effects can be obtained. Further, the pachinko machines of Examples 1 to 3 may be so-called managed gaming machines. The management gaming machine makes it impossible to access the main control device from the outside, and enables communication from the main control device to the frame control device (corresponding to the payout control device of the embodiment) in only one direction, and frame control. It is a configuration that can communicate with the hall computer only through the device. The above-described configurations of Examples 1 to 3 and other examples can be applied to such a managed gaming machine, and the same effects can be obtained.
