Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pinball game machine that performs a jackpot game by judging whether a game ball enters a starting hole as a trigger and opening and closing a jackpot in the case of a jackpot.

In a pinball game machine typified by a pachinko machine, by digesting the reserved memory stored based on the game ball entering the start hole, it is judged whether or not it is a big hit, and the result of the judgment is a big hit. , a big winning game is executed in which the big winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times. Here, the winning/losing determination is made according to a predetermined winning probability of the big win.
In recent years, there has been known a configuration in which a plurality of winning probabilities of the big win are set, and any one winning probability can be arbitrarily set by the manager of the gaming machine (for example, Patent Document 1). According to such a configuration, the probability of occurrence of a big win can be arbitrarily adjusted, so that the profit rate can be adjusted for each machine, and a degree of freedom can be given to the operation of the amusement arcade.

On the other hand, in the pinball game machine, when an undigested reserved memory is stored, it is known that there is a configuration for prefetching whether or not the reserved memory is judged to be a big hit before digestion, and notifying the result of the prefetching. It is For example, in Patent Document 2, if there is a big hit judgment in undigested reserved memory by prefetch judgment, an effect indicating that there is an undigested reserved memory that is judged to be a big hit during the jackpot game (so-called reservation There has been proposed a configuration for executing performance). According to such a configuration, since the next big win is announced during the big win game, it is possible to effectively stimulate the emotions of the player who expects an increase in the acquired profit.

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

As described above, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for arbitrarily setting the winning probability of a big win. It is an extremely important issue in order to increase the player's interest in the game.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to increase interest in a game by realizing a new effect using a set value of winning probability.

The present invention includes a reserve storage means for extracting a predetermined random number due to entry of a game ball into a start hole provided in a game area, and storing the extracted random number as a reserve memory up to a predetermined upper limit number. ,
A win-or-fail determination means for performing a win-or-fail determination based on the random number, a winning game control means for executing a winning game for opening a large winning opening when the result of the win-or-fail determination by the hit/fail determining means is a hit,
A pinball game machine comprising a plurality of winning probabilities for judging winning in the win/fail judgment, and probability setting means for setting any one of the winning probabilities based on the operation of a probability setting switch,
a look-ahead determination means for determining the random number before the success/failure determination means;
and a prefetch effect means for performing an effect based on the determination of the prefetch determination means,
The look-ahead rendering means
When it is determined by the look-ahead determining means that there is a hit in the reserved memory during the winning game, a reservation rendezvous announcement performance is performed during the winning game to suggest that the winning is in the reserved memory. , after that, perform a reservation confirmation effect for confirming that there is a win in the reservation memory,
When it is determined by the look-ahead determination means that there is no winning in the holding memory during the winning game under the condition that the predetermined probability of winning is set, the holding consecutive advance notice effect is performed during the winning game. Do, but do not perform the above-mentioned reservation confirmation production,
When it is determined by the look-ahead determination means that there is no winning in the holding memory during the winning game in a state where the winning probability other than the predetermined one is set, the holding consecutive game notice effect is performed during the winning game. And neither of the above-mentioned reserved Renso confirmation effects are performed
It is a pinball game machine characterized by

Here, the "random number" extracted based on the entry of the ball into the start hole includes a random number for winning/failure determination and a random number for selecting winning game content for selecting one winning game content from a plurality of winning game content. It is preferable that the random number is included, and the validity determination means performs at least the validity determination by digesting the reserved memory storing these random numbers. This "random number" may not include the random number for selecting the contents of the winning game. In addition, the "hit game" is a concept that includes not only a big hit game but also a mere hit such as a small hit game.
As the "win game content", the number of rounds (the number of times to open the big winning mouth) is determined respectively, the content of executing the big winning game in one of a plurality of big winning mouths, and the predetermined after the big winning game You can set the contents of the transition to the game state of. Furthermore, a combination of a plurality of these contents can also be set. As the game state to be shifted after the big hit game, for example, a variable probability game state that makes it easier to hit a big hit, a time-saving game state in which the fluctuation time of the special symbol is shortened, etc. can be applied. Furthermore, it is also possible to apply a probability variable gaming state and a time-saving gaming state in which end conditions are mutually different.

The "predetermined operation" is an operation for changing or resetting the "winning probability", and is generally performed when the power is turned on, but it is not necessary to be limited to when the power is turned on. This predetermined operation is performed not only by the manager or store manager of the game facility where the pinball game machine is installed, but also by employees of the game facility, those who operate the pinball game machine on a trial basis, and the like.
In addition, the ``pre-reading determination means'' may pre-read the random number extracted due to the ball entering the starting hole before it is stored as reserved memory, or after it is stored as reserved memory (and digested). It may be a thing to look ahead before). Furthermore, in the latter case, the timing of prefetching can be appropriately set. For example, each time the reservation memory is stored, the random number in the reservation memory is prefetched to execute the determination of success or failure and the determination of the game contents of the winning game. , the random numbers in the reserved storage that have not yet been digested may be read in advance to determine whether the game is successful or not, and to determine the contents of the winning game.
In addition, the pre-reading and judging means may be one that judges "random numbers" before the success judging means, and may judge not only big hits but also small hits. It is also conceivable to determine the type, change content (whether there is reach or not), game content at the time of winning (number of rounds, opening pattern of big winning mouth, whether probability change or time reduction is given, etc.).

"Winning probability information" is information indicating the winning probability set (hereinafter also referred to as set) by probability setting means (hereinafter also referred to as probability setting means), and information indicating whether the set winning probability is high or low. , information indicating whether the set winning probability is a specific winning probability, information indicating that the winning probability has been changed by the probability setting means, and the like. Furthermore, it is also possible to selectively use one information out of these multiple pieces of information.
Also, "during the winning game" includes the time from the time when the effect informing the start of the winning game is started to the time when the effect informing the end of the winning game is finished. Then, the "probability suggestive effect means" may execute the suggestive effect throughout the winning game, or may execute the suggestive effect at a predetermined timing or during a predetermined period during the winning game.

The ``probability suggesting effect means'' may perform a suggestive effect of suggesting the winning probability information when the winning probability is a predetermined value, and may be clearly suggested, and the suggestion may not be noticed unless carefully observed. It is also good, and the production mode is not questioned.
For example, when there is a big hit in the reservation memory, the reservation renso announcement effect is performed, and then the reservation renso confirmation effect is performed, but the reservation renso announcement effect is performed, but the reservation renso confirmation effect is not performed. It is also good as a "suggestive performance" of. Alternatively, it may be suggested by a pattern that appears only when there is no big win in the reserved memory and the set value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and the appearance time is not limited.
In addition, the "suggestion effect" is the effect of displaying a pattern suggesting the winning probability information on the effect pattern display device, the effect of generating a sound suggesting the winning probability information by the speaker, and the light suggesting the winning probability information by the lamp. It may be any of the effects to be performed, or may be a plurality of effects among them.

In this configuration, when it is determined that there is no big win in the holding memory during the big win game by executing the suggestive effect, the corresponding selection probability information is suggested during the big win game when the winning probability is a predetermined value. be able to. 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, even if there is no jackpot in the reserved memory, the player's interest in the suggestive performance can be attracted, and the player's emotion for executing the suggestive performance can be strongly stimulated.

By the way, in recent years, when it is determined that there is a big hit in the reserved memory during the jackpot game, a reserved Renso notice effect (simply called "reserved Renso notice") indicating that there is a big hit in the reserved memory during the jackpot game. ), and then perform a reserved Renso confirmation effect for confirming that there is a big hit in the reserved memory.
This proposal has the effect of stimulating the emotions of the player who expects continuous big wins during the big win game.
However, if a reservation consecutive notice is given in spite of the fact that there is no big hit in the reserved memory, the player will be discouraged when it turns out that the consecutive big hits (renso) will not occur. Another problem is that it is difficult to make a reservation notice when there is no reservation.

However, if it is assumed that the probability suggestion performance is to perform the reservation renso announcement performance during the jackpot game and not perform the reservation renso confirmation performance after that, the winning probability is a predetermined value even if the continuous big wins do not occur. It can be guessed that the next big hit will occur.
As a result, even if there is no big win in the reservation memory, it is possible to perform the reservation consecutive game notice without disappointing the player.
As a result, it is possible to expect the effect of increasing the chances of performing the reserved Renso advance notice effect and further increasing the interest in the game.

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 which can always win prizes, and a second starting port 12 which is opened by winning the above-described normal symbol lottery and can win prizes. Random numbers extracted as a result of winning prizes to the starting ports 11 and 12 are used to determine whether a big hit, a small hit, or a loss is determined. Then, when the random number extracted by the ball entering the first starting port 11 is judged to be correct, the first special symbol is displayed by the first special symbol display device 9, and the first special symbol is stopped. The result of the lottery is informed by displaying. Similarly, when judging the validity of the random number extracted by the ball entering the second start port 12, the second special symbol is displayed by the second special symbol display device 10, and the second special symbol is displayed. The result of the lottery is informed by the stop display. Furthermore, in parallel with the variable display on the first special symbol display device 9 and the second special symbol display device 10, on the screen of the production symbol display device 6, pseudo special symbols corresponding to each special symbol are variably displayed. After that, these are stopped and displayed, and a series of effects are performed to notify the result of the lottery.

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

By digesting the first and second reserved memories stored in this way, the above-described suitability determination is performed. When the result of this winning/failure determination is a big win, the first and second special symbol display devices 9 and 10 confirm and display the symbols showing the big win, and the screen of the performance symbol display device 6 shows the pseudo special symbols in a mode showing the big win. is displayed. Along with this big win, a big win game is executed in which opening rounds for opening the big winning opening 14 are repeated a predetermined number (the number of rounds). Further, when the result of the lottery is a small win, the first and second special symbol display devices 9 and 10 confirm and display the symbols indicating the small win, and the screen of the performance symbol display device 6 shows the small win. To confirm and display a pseudo special symbol. Then, a small winning game is executed in which the big winning opening 14 is opened and closed once with the small winning.

Furthermore, when the result of the success/failure determination is a big win, one big win game content is selected and determined from a plurality of predetermined big win game content. Then, the big win game is executed according to the determined big win game contents. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, in each jackpot game content, the number of rounds to open the jackpot opening 14 in the jackpot game and the game state to be shifted after the jackpot game are set respectively. In this embodiment, six types of jackpot game contents are determined in advance by combinations of three types of mutually different numbers of rounds and two types of game states. When one jackpot game content is selected and determined from these, the jackpot game is executed by the number of rounds of the decided jackpot game content, and after the jackpot game is finished, the game state of the jackpot game content is shifted to.

The number of rounds constituting the content of the big win game is set to three types of 4 times, 7 times and 10 times, and the big win game is executed by any one of these numbers of rounds. In any jackpot game, in each open round, 30 seconds (opening time) have passed since the start of opening the big winning hole 14, or 10 (regular number) game balls enter the big winning hole 14. By doing so, the big winning opening 14 is closed and the process ends. In the jackpot game, open rounds are repeated at intervals. In such a jackpot game, when the number of rounds is 10, the largest number of game balls can be entered into the big winning opening 14, and when the number of rounds is 4, the number of rounds is the lowest. That is, the jackpot game with 10 rounds can win the largest number of prize balls (profit), the jackpot game with 7 rounds can win the next largest number of prize balls, and 4 rounds. The jackpot game by the number of rounds has the fewest possible prize balls (profit).

On the other hand, the game state constituting the jackpot game content is set to two types, a normal game state and a probability variable game state, and after the end of the big win game, either the normal game state or the probability variable game state. Transition. The normal game state is a game state of "low probability mode / non-time saving mode / non-open extension mode", and the variable probability game state is a game state of "high probability mode / time reduction mode / open extension mode".
Here, in the low-probability mode, a predetermined low winning probability is validated to determine whether or not it is a big hit. make a judgment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a low winning probability and a high winning probability are defined for each of the set values 1 to 3 described above. 3 is validated, while in the case of the high probability mode, the high probability of winning determined by set values 1-3 is validated. More specifically, when the set value 1 is set, in the low probability mode, the low winning probability of 1/100 is effective and the success/failure determination is performed, and in the high probability mode, the high winning probability of 1/50 is effective. as a right or wrong decision. Also, when the set value 2 is set, in the low-probability mode, a low winning probability of 1/90 is validated to determine success or failure, and in the high-probability mode, a high winning probability of 1/45 is validated to determine success or failure. make a judgment. Also, when the set value 3 is set, in the low-probability mode, a low winning probability of 1/80 is validated to determine success or failure, and in the high-probability mode, a high winning probability of 1/40 is validated to determine success or failure. make a judgment.
In addition, the time saving mode shortens the variation time between the first special symbol and the second special symbol than the variation time in the non-time saving mode. Furthermore, in the time-saving mode, compared with the non-time-saving mode, the variation time of normal symbols is also shortened.
In addition, in the open extension mode, the winning probability of normal symbols is made higher than in the non-open extension mode, and the opening time of the second starting port 12 is extended compared to the non-open extension mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the winning probability of normal symbols is set to 1/6 in the non-open extension mode, whereas the winning probability is set to 5/6 in the open extension mode. The opening operation of the second starting port 12 is performed once for about 0.2 seconds in the extended non-open mode, and once for about 2 seconds in the extended open mode.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the first to sixth jackpot game contents are determined by the combination of the three types of round numbers and the two types of game states. Then, when the result of the above-mentioned success/failure determination is a big win, one big win game content is selected and determined according to a predetermined selection probability. Here, the first jackpot game content is determined to execute the jackpot game by the number of rounds of four times and to shift to the probability variable game state after the jackpot game. The selection probability of the first big hit game content is 25/100. Further, the content of the second jackpot game is defined as four rounds and a transition to the normal game state, and the selection probability is 25/100. Further, the content of the third jackpot game is defined as the number of rounds of 7 times and the transition to the variable probability game state, and the selection probability is 15/100. In addition, the content of the fourth jackpot game is defined as seven rounds and a transition to the normal game state, and the selection probability is 15/100. In addition, the content of the fifth jackpot game is defined as the number of rounds of 10 times and the transition to the variable probability game state, and the selection probability is 10/100. Further, the contents of the sixth jackpot game are defined as the number of rounds of 10 times and the transition to the normal game state, and the selection probability is 10/100.
Thus, in this embodiment, the probability of selecting the first jackpot game content and the second jackpot game content with few prize balls (profit) that can be acquired in the jackpot game is high, and the fifth and sixth jackpots with many prize balls are selected. The probability of selecting game contents is low.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, the first to sixth jackpot game contents are assigned to a plurality of jackpot pattern modes determined and displayed by the first special pattern and the second special pattern, respectively. Therefore, when a big hit is determined, one big hit game content is determined from the first to sixth big win game content by determining one big win pattern mode to be confirmed and displayed by the first special pattern or the second special pattern. It is determined. Specifically, as will be described later, one big-hit design mode is determined by lottery of big-hit design random numbers, and one big-hit game content assigned to the determined big-hit design mode is determined. Thus, in this embodiment, the probability of determining one jackpot pattern mode determines the selection probabilities of the first to sixth jackpot game contents.
Then, the result of selecting and determining the first to sixth jackpot game contents is informed by the jackpot pattern mode of the first special pattern or the second special pattern.

Further, when the result of the above-mentioned success/failure determination is a small win, a small win game for opening the big winning opening 14 is executed. In the small winning game of this embodiment, the action of opening the big winning opening 14 for 1.5 seconds is performed once. Therefore, in the small-hit game, it is more difficult to obtain prize balls than in the big-hit game.
And, in this embodiment, the odds of winning a small hit in the winning/failing determination are set uniformly (for example, 1/60) for the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Therefore, the winning probability of the small hit is the same regardless of the above-described setting values 1 to 3 and the game state (normal game state, variable probability game state). In the present embodiment, the odds of winning a small win are uniform, but this is not limiting, and a plurality of odds of winning a small win different from each other may be set for each set value in the same way as the odds of winning a big win. It may be something else.

As shown in FIG. 5, when a ball is entered into each of the starting holes 11, 12, the special winning hole 14, and the general winning hole 41, a set number of prize balls are paid out. Specifically, four prize balls for each ball entering the first starting hole 11, one prize ball for each ball entering the second starting hole 12, and each ball entering the big winning hole 14. 8 prize balls are paid out each time the balls enter the general prize winning port 31, and 4 prize balls are paid out.

Next, processing of various programs executed by main controller 80 will be described.
FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the main routine. The main routine consists of the main processing from S10 to S70 and the residual processing of S80 which is repeated as long as time permits within the time remaining after the main processing is executed, and is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt every 2 ms. be done. When the hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S10). This judgment processing is performed by judging whether or not the value in a predetermined area of RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. It is for judging whether it is acceptable or not.

If a negative determination is made in S10 (that is, it is determined that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt) (S10: No), the initial setting (S15) is executed, and the remaining process (S80) is performed. In this initial setting, for example, a predetermined value is written to a predetermined area of the RAM, and each initial value is written to the work area of the RAM such as setting the first and second special symbols as initial symbols. On the other hand, when an affirmative determination is made in S10 (that is, it is determined to be a normal interrupt) (S10: Yes), the initial value random number update process (S20), the big hit determination random number update process (S25), and the big hit pattern determination Random number update process (S30), hit determination random number update process (S35), reach determination random number update process (S40), variation pattern determination random number update process (S45), winning confirmation process (S50), winning or not Determination processing (S55), special game processing (S60), fraud monitoring processing (S65), image output processing and other output processing (S70) are performed, and the initial processing is performed within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The value random number updating process (S80) is looped.

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

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

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

Next, the starting winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. This starting winning process is one of the subroutines called in the winning confirmation process (S50) of the main routine.
In the starting winning process, at S100, it is determined whether or not the first starting opening switch 11a has detected a game ball. If the determination is negative (S100: No), the process proceeds to S120, and if the determination is positive (S100: Yes), the process proceeds to S105. In S105, it is determined whether or not the number of first reserved memories has reached an upper limit (for example, 4). If the determination is affirmative (S105: Yes), the process proceeds to S120, and if the determination is negative (S105: No), the process proceeds to S110. At S110, a first extracted random number reservation storage process is executed. In this first extraction random number reservation storage process, a first jackpot determination random number, a first jackpot pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, etc. are extracted and stored as a first retention memory, and a second Add 1 to the first reservation number counter indicating the number of one reservation storage, and perform the necessary processing to light the first special figure reservation number display device 18 according to the information of the first reservation number counter. After S110, the process proceeds to S115.

In S115, prefetch determination processing is executed. In the look-ahead determination process, a process for determining whether or not the first big hit determination random number extracted in S110 is a big hit is performed. One jackpot game content is determined from among the first to sixth jackpot game content. Then, it transmits to the sub-integrated control device 83 information indicating the determination result as to whether or not it is a big hit, and information indicating the determination result of the content of the big win game.
It should be noted that, in the look-ahead determination process, similarly to the success/failure determination process described later, if the variable probability flag = 1, the variable probability table is validated, and it is determined whether or not the random number for determining the first big hit is a big hit. On the other hand, when the variable probability flag is 0, the normal table is validated, and it is determined whether or not the random number for determining the first big win is a big win.

In S120, it is determined whether or not the second starting port switch 12a has detected a game ball. If the determination is negative (S120: No), the starting winning process is terminated, and if the determination is positive (S120: Yes), the process proceeds to S125. In S125, it is determined whether or not the number of second reserved memories has reached the upper limit (for example, 4). If the determination is affirmative (S125: Yes), the starting winning process is terminated, and if the determination is negative (S125: No), the process proceeds to S130. In S130, a second extracted random number reservation storage process is executed. In this second extraction random number reservation storage process, a second big hit determination random number, a second big hit pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, a fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. are extracted and stored as a second reservation memory, and a second Add 1 to the second reservation number counter indicating the number of two reservation storage, and perform the necessary processing to light the second special figure reservation number display device 19 according to the information of the second reservation number counter. After S130, the process proceeds to S135.

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

Next, the success/fail determination process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. This acceptance/rejection determination process is one of the subroutines called in the acceptance/rejection determination process (S55) of the main routine described above.

In the success/fail determination process, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the special electric role product is in operation (that is, during execution of the big hit game or the small hit game) (S150). Then, if the determination is affirmative (S150: Yes), the suitability determination process is terminated, and if the determination is negative (S150: No), the process proceeds to S155. At S155, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner. Then, if the determination is affirmative (S155: Yes), the process proceeds to S300 of FIG. 11, and if the determination is negative (S155: No), the process proceeds to S160. At S160, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is being displayed. Then, if the determination is affirmative (S160: Yes), the process proceeds to S350 of FIG. 12, and if the determination is negative (S160: No), the process proceeds to S165.

In S165, it is determined whether or not there is an undigested second reserved memory, and if the determination is affirmative (S165: Yes), the process proceeds to S170, and if the determination is negative (S165: No), the process proceeds to S175. . In S170, the number of second reserved memories is decremented, the oldest undigested second reserved memory is selected, and information (numerical data such as random numbers) stored in the second reserved memory is used for second big hit determination. Move to the specified 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 if the determination is affirmative (S175: Yes), the process proceeds to S180, and if the determination is negative (S175: No), the validity determination process exit. In S180, the number of the first reserved memories 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 used for the first big hit determination. Move to the specified buffer for This digests the first reserved memory.
In addition, in the right/wrong determination process of the present embodiment, the second reserved memory is prioritized over the first reserved memory and is used as the target of the right/wrong determination. Therefore, the first reserved memory is subject to the validity judgment only when there is no undigested second reserved memory.

In S185, it is determined whether or not the variable probability flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S185: Yes), the process proceeds to S190, and if the determination is negative (S185: No), the process proceeds to S195. Here, the probability variable flag = 1 indicates that it is the above-described probability variable gaming state (“high probability mode / time saving mode / open extension mode”), and the probability variable flag = 0 is the above-described normal gaming state (“low probability mode/non-time-saving mode/non-open extended mode").

In S190, a table for winning/failure determination (variable probability table) corresponding to the set value and the high probability mode is selected, and based on the selected variable probability table, the random number for judging the big hit is transferred to the buffer for judging the big hit. , determine whether or not the jackpot. Here, in this embodiment, based on the selected probability variation table, it is also determined whether or not the big hit determination random number is a small hit. Furthermore, in S190, the remaining number of hit/fail judgments that can be executed in the variable probability gaming state (variable probability flag = 1) is decremented. This variable number of times is decremented by both the digestion of the first reserved memory and the digestion of the second reserved memory, which will be described later.
After the process of S190, the process proceeds to S200.

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

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

In S205, based on the jackpot pattern determination random number (the jackpot pattern determination random number in the buffer for judging the jackpot), the jackpot pattern mode of the special pattern is determined, and the above-described first to sixth One jackpot game content is determined from the jackpot game content (see FIG. 6). More specifically, the first to sixth jackpot game contents are assigned to a plurality of jackpot pattern modes selectable by the jackpot pattern determination random number, and when one jackpot pattern mode is determined by the jackpot pattern determination random number. , one jackpot game content assigned to the decided jackpot symbol mode is determined.
Here, in this embodiment, the probability of each jackpot pattern mode determined by the jackpot pattern determination random number is determined based on the selection probability of the first to sixth jackpot game contents. Specifically, the probability of determining the jackpot pattern mode to which the first jackpot game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (25/100) of the first jackpot game content. Also, the probability of determining the big-hit pattern mode to which the second big-hit game content is assigned corresponds to the selection probability (25/100) of the second big-hit game content. Similarly, the probability of determining the jackpot pattern 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 pattern to which the fourth jackpot game content is assigned. The probability of determining the mode corresponds to the selection probability (15/100) of the fourth big winning game content, and the probability of determining the big winning pattern mode to which the fourth big winning game content is assigned is the fourth big winning game content. The probability of determining the jackpot pattern mode to which the fifth jackpot game content is assigned, which corresponds to the selection probability (15/100), corresponds to the selection probability (10/100) of the fifth jackpot game content, and the sixth jackpot. The probability of determining the jackpot pattern 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, based on the variation pattern determination random number etc. (variation pattern determination random number in the buffer for judging the big hit) and the probability variation flag, the variation time of the special symbol is determined, and the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined according to the variation time.
More specifically, the variation time of the selectable special symbols is predetermined according to the probability variation flag, and the variation time of the special symbols is determined according to the variation pattern determination random number or the like. That is, when the probability variation flag = 0 (normal game state), since it is a 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 reserved storage that has been digested Etc. to determine the fluctuation time of the special design. On the other hand, when the probability variation flag = 1 (probability variation gaming state), since it is a time saving mode, it is possible to select the variation time of the special symbol corresponding to the time saving mode, and the variation time is determined by the random number for determining the variation pattern. .

In subsequent S215, the number of rounds of the big win game and the game state after the big win game are set according to the contents of the big win game determined in the above S205 (see FIG. 6). Here, in the case of shifting to the normal game state after the big hit game, it is determined to be the low probability mode, the non-time saving mode, and the non-open extension mode, and when shifting to the variable probability game state, the above-mentioned high Decide on probability mode, time saving mode, and open extended mode. Furthermore, in S215, the effect time and effect pattern (the effect time and effect pattern of the big win start effect and the big win end effect) relating to the big win game, the interval time, etc. are also set.
After S215, the process proceeds to S250.

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

In S225, a small winning design is determined based on the big winning design determining random number related to the reserved storage, and the process proceeds to S230.
In the variation pattern determination process of S230, based on the variation pattern determination random number etc. (variation pattern determination random number in the buffer for big hit determination) and the probability variation flag, the variation time of the special symbol is determined. A special symbol variation pattern is determined according to the variation time.
In the following S235, the opening operation pattern of the big winning opening 14 in the small winning game, the performance time related to the small winning game, etc. are set, and the process proceeds to S250.

Furthermore, in S240 following the negative determination of S220, based on the variation pattern determination random number etc. (random number for variation pattern determination in the buffer for judging the big hit, etc.) and the probability variation flag, special symbol In addition to determining the fluctuation time and fluctuation pattern, prior to this, the process of determining the losing pattern is performed. In the following S245, a process for losing is performed, and the process proceeds to S250.
In this embodiment, the processing for determining the missing symbols is performed in S240, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the processing for determining the losing symbols may be provided before S240.

In S250, the pending number command indicating the number of undigested pending storage after decrementing in S170 and S180, and the information of the success/failure determination result determined in S190 and S195 (big hit, small hit, or loss) information. and a variation start command including the big hit game contents determined in S205, the variation time of the special symbols, the stop mode of the special symbols, and the like are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. This variable start command also includes information indicating whether the digested reserved memory is the first reserved memory or the second reserved memory. Furthermore, according to the digested reserved memory, the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is driven and controlled to start fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and end the right or wrong determination process. do.
In addition, when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives such a command, the information indicated in the command (the number of pending memories that have not been digested, the fluctuation time of the special symbol, the success or failure 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 production design control device 82 along with the variation start command, and the production design control device 82 drives and controls the production design display device 6 according to the received command. , start to display pseudo special symbols corresponding to the stop design mode of the special symbols and the information of the variation pattern.

In S300 of FIG. 11 following the affirmative determination of S155 described above, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the special symbol has elapsed. (S300: No), the success/failure determination process is terminated. In S305, the variable display of the special symbols is terminated, and the fixed symbols of the special symbols (that is, the big winning symbols determined in S205, the small winning symbols determined in S225, or the losing symbols determined in S240) are displayed, The sub-integrated control device 83 is transmitted with a pattern confirmation command for executing the confirmation display of the production pattern, and the success/failure 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 fixed display of the special symbol has ended, and in the case of affirmative determination (S350: Yes), the process proceeds to S355, and a negative determination is made. In the case of (S350: No), the success/failure determination process is terminated. At S355, the confirmation display of the special symbol ends, and the process proceeds to S360. In S360, it is determined whether or not the finalized and displayed special symbol is in the jackpot symbol mode, and if the determination is affirmative (S360: Yes), the process proceeds to S365, and if the determination is negative (S360: No), the process proceeds to S410. move on. In S365, the variable probability flag is referred to, and if the variable probability flag is 1, the variable probability flag is cleared (S370), the variable probability number is cleared (S380), and the process proceeds to S390. After that, state designation command transmission processing (S390), condition device operation start processing (S395), accessory continuous operation device operation start processing (S400), and jackpot start effect processing (S405) are sequentially executed to realize a jackpot game mode. or a command for instructing the start of the big hit game to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc. to start the big hit game and end the win/fail determination process.

On the other hand, in S410 following the negative determination of S360, the probability variation flag is referred to, and if the probability variation flag = 1 (S410: Yes), the remaining number of valid/failure determinations that can be executed during the probability variation mode (probability variation number of times) Refer (S415). Then, when the probability variation count is 0 (S415: Yes), the probability variation flag is cleared (S420), and the process proceeds to S440. On the other hand, if the determination in S415 is negative (S415: No), the process proceeds to S440.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the variable probability number of times = 10000 is set (S620 to be described later) each time the probability variable gaming state is entered. Therefore, the variable probability gaming state substantially continues until the next big hit is determined.

In S440, a 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 is confirmed and displayed is a symbol that will result in a small hit, and if the determination is affirmative (S445: Yes), the process proceeds to S450, special electric auditors product operation start processing (S450), By sequentially executing the small-hit start effect processing (S455), a command indicating the mode of the small-hit game, a command for instructing the start of the small-hit game, etc. are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc. to play the small-hit game. is started, and the acceptance/rejection determination process is terminated. Moreover, in the case of a negative determination in S445 (S445: No), the success/failure determination process is terminated.

Next, the jackpot game process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 13-15. This jackpot game process is a process executed from the special game process (S60) of the main routine described above when a jackpot is achieved by the hit/fail determination process described above.

In the big-hit game process, as shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous actuating device is in operation (that is, the big-hit game is being executed) (S500). Here, if the determination is affirmative (S500: Yes), the process proceeds to S505, and if the determination is negative (S500: No), the jackpot game process is terminated.

In S505, it is determined whether or not the big winning opening 14 is being opened. Proceed to S510.

In S510, it is determined whether or not it is during the interval between open rounds in the jackpot game. If the determination is affirmative (S510: Yes), the process proceeds to S570 of FIG. 14, and if the determination is negative (S510: No), the process proceeds to S515. In S515, it is determined whether or not the end effect of the big hit game is in progress. If the determination is affirmative (S515: Yes), the process proceeds to S600 of FIG. 15, and if the determination is negative (S515: No), the process proceeds to S520.

In S520, it is determined whether or not the start performance time in the big hit game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S520: Yes), the process proceeds to S525, and if the determination is negative (S520: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. Here, in this embodiment, if the determination is affirmative (S520: Yes), a signal indicating that the start rendering time has elapsed is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83.

At S525, a special winning opening opening process for opening the special winning opening 14 is executed. In this big winning hole opening process, in synchronism with the start of opening the big winning hole 14, the opening time (for example, 30 seconds) set in advance as the maximum opening time of the big winning hole 14 in the opening round is started. . After the big winning opening opening process, the big winning game process is terminated. Here, the time consumption of the open time is performed by subtraction processing of the open timer. Specifically, the open timer is preset with a counter value corresponding to the opening time (30 seconds), and each time the big hit game process is executed (each timer interrupt process), the counter value is subtracted. It is assumed that the opening time has passed when the counter value becomes 0 after execution. Of course, the means for measuring the opening time is not limited to the subtraction processing of the opening timer, and other means can be used.

At S550 in FIG. 14 following the affirmative determination at S505, it is determined whether or not the number of game balls entering the big winning hole 14 has reached ten. If the determination is affirmative (S550: Yes), the process proceeds to S560, and if the determination is negative (S550: No), the process proceeds to S555. In S555, it is determined whether or not the opening time (30 seconds) has elapsed due to the expiration of the opening timer. Here, if the determination is affirmative (S555: Yes), the process proceeds to S560, and if the determination is negative (S555: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. At S560, a large winning opening closing process is executed to close the large winning opening 14 (end the open round). In subsequent S565, a big-hit interval process for setting an interval between opening rounds of the big-hit game is executed, and the big-hit game process ends.

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, if the determination is affirmative (S570: Yes), the process proceeds to S575, and if the determination is negative (S570: No), the jackpot game process is terminated. In S575, it is determined whether or not the final round has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S575: Yes), the process proceeds to S580, and if the determination is negative (S575: No), the process proceeds to S585.
At S580, a big win end effect process for performing an effect for ending the big win game is executed, and a signal indicating the start of the big win end effect is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. After this S580, the jackpot game process is terminated.
At S585, a special winning opening opening process is executed. In this process, the same process as in S525 described above is performed to open the big winning opening 14 and start to consume the opening time (30 seconds).

Further, in S600 of FIG. 15 subsequent to the affirmative determination of S515, it is determined whether or not the time for the big hit end effect has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S600: Yes), the process proceeds to S605, and S605 and S610 are sequentially executed. In S605 and S610, the accessory continuous operation device and condition device are stopped, and the process proceeds to S615. In S615, it is determined whether or not to shift to the variable probability game state after the big hit game. Here, in the case of an affirmative determination (S615: Yes), the number of win/fail judgments that can be executed during the probability variable gaming state (probability variable number of times) is set (S620), the probability variable flag is set to 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 to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the jackpot game process is finished.
[Example 1]

In the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, when there is an undigested first reserved memory or second reserved memory to be judged as a big hit during the above-described big win game, a production pattern display device 6 produces a reservation rendezvous performance suggesting this. , and the sub-integrated control device 83 controls the display of the reservation rendering. Here, in the present embodiment 1, during the display of the jackpot ending effect of the jackpot game, the pending consecutive manor effect is displayed.

In the configuration of the first embodiment, as the pending Renso effect, a jackpot suggestive pattern 101 (see FIG. 18) that suggests only that there is an undigested reserved memory (first reserved memory, second reserved memory) to be determined as a big hit. It has a presentation mode to be displayed, and a presentation mode to display specific suggestion patterns 102a, 102b (see FIG. 19) suggesting that there is an undigested pending memory to be determined as a big hit and the set values 1-3. Then, when the display of the jackpot end performance is started (when the final opening round is finished), and if a predetermined first suggestion condition is established, the reservation performance of the jackpot suggestion pattern 101 is displayed. Then, when the predetermined second suggesting condition is satisfied, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b is displayed.

Here, the first suggestion condition is that there is an undigested reserved memory for judging a big hit when starting a big win end effect of the big win game according to the third to sixth big win game contents, and It is set that when the big win end performance of the big win game by the contents of the second big win game is started, there is an undigested reserved memory judged as the third to sixth big win game contents and judging the big win. On the other hand, the second suggestion condition is that when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game by the first and second jackpot game contents is started, the jackpot is determined and the first and second jackpot game contents are determined to be pending. It's about having a memory.
Specifically, a jackpot game with four opening rounds is performed, and among the unspent reserved memories stored during the jackpot game, there is a reserved memory that is determined to be a jackpot with four opening rounds. In a certain case (second suggestion condition), the specific suggestion patterns 102a and 102b are displayed in a jackpot end effect. In addition, when a jackpot game is played by opening rounds seven times or ten times, and there is a reserved memory that is determined to be a jackpot among the undigested reserved memories stored during the jackpot game (first suggestion condition ), a jackpot game with four open rounds is played, and a reserved memory that is determined to be a jackpot with seven or ten open rounds is included in the unspent reserved memory stored during the jackpot game. When there is (first suggestion condition), the big hit suggestion pattern 101 is displayed.
In addition, when starting the jackpot ending performance, if all the undigested pending memories are those for the loss determination, the pending continuous performance is not displayed.

In addition, the configuration of this embodiment includes two types of specific suggested patterns 102a and 102b, and one of them is selectively displayed based on the set values 1-3. Specifically, when the setting value 1 is set for the winning probability, the specific suggested design 102a is selected, and when the setting value 3 is set, the specific suggested design 102b is selected. Then, when the set value 2 is set, one of the specific suggested symbols 102a and 102b is selected by lottery. For this reason, the specific suggested pattern 102a suggests that the probability of winning the big win is low, and the specific suggested pattern 102b suggests that the probability of winning the big win is high.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the second suggesting condition for displaying the reserved renso production of the specific suggesting symbols 102a and 102b is that the first and second big win game contents with the smallest number of rounds are being played and the second big win game is being played. It is assumed that there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the first and second jackpot game contents. That is, in the present embodiment 1, the number of prize balls that can be obtained in the jackpot game by the number of rounds of 7 is defined as the intermediate profit of the profits that can be obtained by the content of each jackpot game, and 4, which is less than the number of rounds of 7, is set. The first and second jackpot game contents, including the number of rounds, are used as constituent elements of the second suggestion condition (particular jackpot game contents according to the present invention).

The display control of the pending Renso production is performed by the sub-integrated control device 83 as described above. The sub-integrated control device 83 uses the information transmitted from the main control device 80 in S250 of the above-described win/fail determination process (win/fail determination result, jackpot game content), and the prefetch determination process (S115, 135) of the above-described start winning process. Based on the information transmitted from the main control device 80 (result of judging the validity of the unspent pending memory and judgment result of the content of the jackpot game), whether or not the first suggesting condition and the second suggesting condition are established. Perform processing to determine
Further, in this embodiment, as described above, one of the set values 1 to 3 is selectively set by turning on the probability setting switch 95 and turning on the power. A signal indicating the set value is sent to the sub-integrated control device 83 . Since the sub-integrated control device 83 stores the setting value indicated by the received signal in the RAM, the setting value stored in the RAM can be checked at any time, at least when the power is on. 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 can be a conventionally known process, so the details will be omitted.

Further, in this embodiment, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the effects displayed by the effect symbol display device 6 by sequence control, and the pending Renso effect displayed in the jackpot end effect is displayed on the sequence line. Execute by switching. That is, when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives a command to start a big hit game from the main control device 80, the information obtained by the variation start command (the number of rounds, the big win game effect, and the big win end effect) A start performance display pattern for a big win start performance, a round performance display pattern for an open round, an end performance display pattern for a big win end performance, etc. are generated according to the performance time, etc., and the big win suggestion pattern 101 is incorporated into the end performance display pattern. a big hit suggesting end display pattern, a first suggesting end display pattern in which the specific suggesting pattern 102a is incorporated in the end effect display pattern, and a second suggesting end display pattern in which the specific suggesting pattern 102b is incorporated in the end effect display pattern. and Then, when the sub-integrated control device 83 receives a command for instructing the start of the big hit game from the main control device 80 in S405 of the win/fail determination process, it displays the big win start effect on the effect pattern display device 6 according to the opening effect display pattern. Start. After that, when a signal indicating the elapse of the start effect time is received by S520 of the big hit game process, the effect display is performed by switching from the open effect display pattern to the round effect display pattern. Furthermore, after that, when a signal indicating the start of the big win end effect is received by S580 of the big win game process, the big win end effect is started to be displayed according to the end effect display pattern. Then, when the first suggestion condition is established, the end effect display pattern is switched to the big win suggestion end display pattern by switching control of the sequence line. As a result, in the big-win end performance, the reservation continuous performance of the big-win suggesting pattern 101 is displayed. On the other hand, when the second suggestion condition is established, the end effect display pattern is switched to the first suggestion end display pattern or the second suggestion end display pattern by switching control of the sequence line. As a result, in the jackpot end presentation, the reserved consecutive house presentation of the specific suggested patterns 102a and 102b is displayed. Further, if neither the first suggesting condition nor the second suggesting condition is established, the big win end effect is continued according to the end effect display pattern.
Since such a sequence control can apply conventionally known techniques, the details thereof will be omitted.

Next, a description will be given of the reservation consecutive villa effect processing for controlling the display of such a reservation consecutive villa effect with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 16 . This reservation consecutive manor effect processing is a process that is executed periodically (for example, timer interrupt processing with a period of 2 ms) by the sub-integrated control device 83, and is mainly controlled by the big hit end effect processing (S580) of the big hit game process. It is executed when a signal for starting a jackpot ending effect is received from the device 80.例文帳に追加
In the first embodiment, the sub-integrated control device 83 extracts a specific suggestion lottery random number by a random number extraction process (not shown) upon receipt of a variation start command, and extracts the extracted specific suggestion lottery random number as a predetermined value. buffer. The specific-suggestion lottery random numbers take a predetermined number (for example, 60) of integer values and are generated periodically (for each timer interrupt process) in ascending order.

At S1000, the reservation consecutive manor effect processing determines whether or not a signal for starting the big hit end effect has been received from the main control device 80.例文帳に追加Then, if the determination is affirmative (S1000: Yes), the process proceeds to S1005, and if the determination is negative (S1000: No), the reservation continuous villa effect processing is terminated.

In S1005, it is determined whether or not an undigested pending memory for judging a big hit is stored. Then, if the determination is affirmative (S1005: Yes), the process proceeds to S1010, and if the determination is negative (S1005: No), the reservation continuous villa effect processing is terminated. Here, in the sub-integrated control device 83, as described above, the information as to whether or not the unredeemed pending memory is judged to be a big hit is transmitted from the main control device 80 by S115 or S135 of the start winning process and stored. It is S1005 refers to this information for determination.

In S1010, it is determined whether or not undigested pending memory determined as the first big winning game content or the second big winning game content is stored. If the determination is affirmative (S1010: Yes), the process proceeds to S1015, and if the determination is negative (S1010: No), the process proceeds to S1030. Here, the information as to 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, similar to the information on the jackpot determination described above. It is transmitted from the control device 80 and stored. S1010 refers to this information for determination.

At S1015, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game being executed is based on the first jackpot game content or the second jackpot game content. If the determination is affirmative (S1015: Yes), the process proceeds to S1020, and if the determination is negative (S1015: No), the process proceeds to S1030. Here, the variation start command transmitted from the main controller 80 in S250 of the success/failure determination process includes information on the jackpot game content, and the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the variation start command. , to store this information. In S1015, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game being executed is based on the first jackpot game content or the second jackpot game content by referring to the stored jackpot game content information.

In S1020, a process of confirming the set value is performed. Here, as described above, the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the set value information by the power-on processing, and stores the information.

In the following S1025, based on the setting value confirmed in S1020, the specific suggesting pattern 102a or the specific suggesting pattern 102b to be used for the reserved mansion production is selected and determined. Specifically, in the case of the set value 1 (lowest jackpot winning probability), the specific suggestive symbol 102a is selected, and in the case of the set value 3 (highest jackpot winning probability), the specific suggestive symbol 102b is selected. On the other hand, in the case of the set value 2, the specific suggesting pattern 102a or the specific suggesting pattern 102b is selected by determining the specific suggesting lottery random number. Here, in the determination of the specific suggestive extraction random number, the probability of selecting the specific suggestive pattern 102a and the specific suggestive pattern 102b is set to 1/2.
Furthermore, when the specific suggesting pattern 102a is selected, the display by the first suggesting end display pattern including the specific suggesting pattern 102a is determined. On the other hand, when the specific suggesting pattern 102b is selected, the display by the second suggesting end display pattern including the specific suggesting pattern 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 big hit suggesting pattern 101 used for the reservation consecutive villa production is determined. Then, the display by the big-win suggestion end display pattern including the big-win suggestion pattern 101 is determined. After S1030, the process proceeds to S1040.

At S1040, a process of switching the end effect display pattern of the jackpot end effect to the display pattern determined at S1025 or S1030 is performed. Here, when the first suggestion end display pattern is determined in 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 performance symbol display device 6, a reservation continuous performance of displaying the specific suggestive symbol 102a is performed in the big win end performance. Further, when the second suggestion end display pattern is determined in S1025, sequence control is performed to switch from the end effect display pattern to the second suggestion end display pattern. As a result, in the performance symbol display device 6, a reservation continuous performance of displaying the specific suggestive symbol 102b is performed in the big win end performance. Furthermore, when the big hit suggestion end display pattern is determined by S1030, sequence control is performed to switch from the end effect display pattern to the big win suggestion end display pattern. As a result, in the performance symbol display device 6, the reservation continuous performance of displaying the big win suggestive symbol 101 is performed in the big win end performance.

In addition, in such a reservation continuous villa production process, the second suggestion condition is established by making affirmative determinations in all of S1005, S1010, and S1015. Further, by making an affirmative determination in S1005 and making an affirmative determination in only one of S1010 and S1015, the first suggestion condition is satisfied.

Next, the jackpot end effect for displaying the reserved Renso effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 21. FIG.
For example, when the second reserved memory is digested in the normal gaming state (or probability variation gaming state) that stores the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory, the second special in the second special figure display device 10 The symbols start to fluctuate (not shown), and along with this, pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c variably display on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 as shown in FIG. 17(A). Here, in the normal game state or the variable probability game state, the first reserved memory number display area 115 defined in the lower left part of the screen of the production pattern display device 6, the first reserved design 116 indicating the number of memories of the first reserved memory. A second reserved pattern 119 indicating the number of second reserved memories is displayed in a second reserved memory number display area 118 which is displayed and defined in the lower right part of the screen. In the first reserved memory number display area 115, the number of memories of the first reserved memory is notified by the display number of the first reserved pattern 116, and in the second reserved memory number display area 118, by the display number of the second reserved pattern 119 , announcing the number of memories in the second reserved memory.

In addition, although not shown, during the display of the first reserved pattern 116 and the second reserved pattern 119, an effect may be performed to indicate the degree of expectation for a big hit of the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory. For example, based on the determination result of the look-ahead determination process (S115, S135) of the starting winning process described above, the effect of changing the display mode of the first reserved design 116 and the second reserved design 119 (change of display color and display shape change, etc.), and informs that there is an undigested pending memory with a high possibility of hitting the jackpot. Here, since the effect indicating the degree of expectation for a big win indicates that the player is likely to win a big win, there may be a case where the big win does not occur. Therefore, it is possible to determine by lottery whether or not to effect the degree of expectation for a big hit based on the determination result of the look-ahead determination process.

When a predetermined fluctuation time elapses from the start of fluctuation of the second special symbol described above, the second special symbol stops fluctuating, and along with this, as shown in FIG. 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 determined and stopped in a big win pattern mode. As a result, the player is notified of the determination of the big win.

When the big win is decided, the big win game for opening the big winning hole 14 is started, and the big win start performance is displayed on the performance pattern display device 6 along with this. In this jackpot start effect, as shown in FIG. 17(C), a message pattern 121 and a character pattern 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 performance symbol display device 6 during the jackpot game.

When the opening round for opening the big winning opening 14 is started after finishing the big winning start effect, the effect symbol display device 6 displays a message indicating that the big winning game is in progress, as shown in FIG. 17(D). A symbol 124 and a message symbol 125 indicating the open round in progress are displayed. The effect of displaying such message patterns 124 and 125 is performed from the start of the first open round to the end of the final open round (4, 7, or 10). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the character pattern 122 is continuously displayed.

After that, when it comes to the final open round, as shown in FIG. 18(A), the message pattern 125 informs that the final open round is reached. Here, when the jackpot game with the number of rounds of 4 is performed, the message pattern 125 indicating the final 4th release round is displayed. In this case, the jackpot game is executed by determining the first jackpot game content or the second jackpot game content (see FIG. 6) by digesting the reserved memory.

Then, when the fourth and final open round is finished, the effect pattern display device 6 executes a big win end effect and displays a message pattern 105 indicating the end of the big win game. Furthermore, in this big win end effect, when the first suggestion condition is established at the start of the effect (at the end of the final round), a big win suggestion pattern 101 is displayed as shown in FIGS. A holding Renso production is executed. Here, as described above, the first suggestion condition is that there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the third to sixth jackpot game contents during the jackpot game based on the first or second jackpot game contents. . Therefore, the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 of the reserved Renso production suggests that there is a reserved memory for judging a jackpot according to the content of the third to sixth jackpot games in the undigested reserved memory.
In addition, in the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game, when shifting to the probability variable game state after the jackpot game (first jackpot game content), as shown in FIG. A production pattern 107 is displayed. On the other hand, when shifting to the normal game state, the effect symbol 107 is not displayed as shown in FIG. 18(C).

In addition, in the same big hit game with four rounds as described above, when the second suggestion condition is established at the start of the big win end effect, as shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C, the big win end effect With , the reserved Renso production is executed to display the specific suggested patterns 102a and 102b. Here, the second suggestion condition is that there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined as the first or second jackpot game content during the jackpot game based on the first or second jackpot game content, as described above. .
Then, when the second suggesting condition is established, the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestive pattern 102a and the reserved consecutive villa effect of the specific suggestive pattern 102b are selectively selected according to the set values 1 to 3. executed. That is, when the final open round (FIG. 19(A)) is completed and the second suggestion condition is satisfied and the setting value 1 is set, as shown in FIG. 19(B), the specific suggestion The reservation continuous villa production of the pattern 102a is executed. Further, when the set value 3 is set, as shown in FIG. 19(C), the reserved consecutive house effect of the specific suggestion pattern 102b is executed. Furthermore, when the set value 2 is set, the display of the specific suggesting pattern 102a (FIG. 19(B)) and the display of the specific suggesting pattern 102b (FIG. 19(C)) are displayed by lottery as described above. is determined, and the reservation Renso production is executed.

Such specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b are displayed when the second suggesting condition is established and are selectively displayed based on the set values 1 to 3, so that the first or second big win game content results in a big win. It suggests that there is an undigested reserved memory to be determined (corresponding to the above-mentioned big win suggestive information and big win content suggestive information), and also suggests set setting values 1 to 3 (corresponding to winning probability information). Specifically, the specific suggestive symbol 102a has the lowest set value 1 or the intermediate set value 2 of the jackpot winning probability, in addition to having an undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot in the first or second jackpot game content. is set. On the other hand, the specific suggestion symbol 102b has a set value 3 with the highest jackpot winning probability or an intermediate set value 2 in addition to having an undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot in the first or second jackpot game content. suggest that

Although not shown, in the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game, when shifting to the probability variation game state after the jackpot game (first jackpot game content), in the same manner as in FIG. 18 (B), to the probability variation game state A performance pattern 107 suggesting a transition is displayed.

On the other hand, in a jackpot game with seven rounds (third or fourth jackpot game content), the message pattern 125 is displayed in the final open round, as shown in FIG. 20(A). After that, when the final open round ends (when the jackpot end production is started), if there is an undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot, the first suggestion condition is satisfied, so in the jackpot end production, As shown in 20(C) and 20(D), a reservation continuous production effect of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 is displayed. Here, when shifting to the variable probability game state after the big hit game (third big win game content), as shown in FIG. In the case (fourth jackpot game content), the effect symbol 107 is not displayed as shown in FIG. 20(D).

In addition, in the jackpot game with 10 rounds (the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game), as shown in FIG. 20(B), the message pattern 125 is displayed in the final opening round. After that, when the final open round ends, when the first suggestion condition is met, the jackpot end production is executed as shown in FIGS. 2, the reserved Renso effect of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 is displayed.

Also, in a jackpot game in which the number of rounds is four, as in the above, neither the first suggestion condition nor the second suggestion condition is established at the start of the jackpot end effect (at the end of the final open round). Then, the reservation renso 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 pending memory for judging a big hit, the performance symbol display device 6 will display as shown in FIGS. 21(B) and (C) Then, a jackpot end effect for displaying the message pattern 105 is executed. Here, when shifting to the variable probability game state after the big hit game, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when shifting to the normal game state, the effect symbol 107 is not displayed as shown in FIG. 21(C).
Even in a jackpot game in which the number of rounds is 7 or 10, when the last open round is ended, if there is no pending memory for judging the jackpot, the jackpot ending effect is performed. Not executed (see FIGS. 21B and 21C).

Next, features of the first embodiment will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment has an unspent pending memory that determines a jackpot of the minimum number of rounds (first or second jackpot game content) when a jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds (first or second jackpot game content) is executed. , and specific suggestion patterns 102a and 102b suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed in the jackpot ending effect.
According to such a configuration, the display of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b enables the player to know that the big wins will occur continuously, so that the player is stimulated with the emotion of expecting continuous big wins. be done. In addition, since the player can know whether the winning probability of the set jackpot is high or low, the player can use it as a reference for deciding whether or not to continue the game on the machine. Here, the setting value (jackpot winning probability) set for each machine is one of the information that the player most wants to know in order to select the machine. can be said to be a valuable profit for the player. In this way, the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b play a role of suggesting information (jackpot suggestion information and jackpot content suggestion information) that the minimum round number of jackpots occur continuously, and information indicating the set value (winning probability information). have a role of suggesting Thus, in the configuration of the first embodiment, when the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds is executed, the player's heart is excited in anticipation of the display of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b. A new amusement that has not existed in the past can be generated during the jackpot game. More specifically, in a conventional pachinko machine that simply selectively determines the number of rounds, even if a big win is achieved, the number of prize balls that can be obtained is small if the game is a jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds. The player's heightened emotions are reduced. On the other hand, in the configuration of the first embodiment, if a jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is executed, the display of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b is expected, which is not conventionally interesting. can be suppressed, and the player's interest in the jackpot with the minimum number of rounds can be increased. For this reason, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the first embodiment, when the reserved renso production of the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b is displayed (when the second suggesting condition is satisfied), if the set value is 2, the specific suggesting pattern 102a or the specific suggesting Since the pattern 102b is displayed, it is difficult for the player to know the set value accurately even if the reservation continuous production effect is displayed. Therefore, in order to determine the set value more accurately, the player desires that the reserved consecutive resort effect of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b is displayed a plurality of times, and has a strong desire to continue the game. In particular, in the first embodiment, if the specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b are displayed, a jackpot of the minimum number of rounds will occur in succession, so the specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b are expected to be reserved. It is possible to more effectively stimulate the player's emotions. As a result, it is possible to more stably achieve the above-described effect of increasing the player's interest in the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds.

Furthermore, in the configuration of the first embodiment, when the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds is executed, if there is an undigested reserved memory that is judged to be a jackpot other than the minimum number of rounds, the jackpot ending effect suggests the jackpot. A pattern 101 is displayed. The display of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 in this case has a role of suggesting information (jackpot suggesting information and jackpot content suggesting information) that a big win with many obtainable prize balls will occur subsequently. As a result, during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds, it is possible to stimulate the emotions of the player who expects the display of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101.例文帳に追加The display of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 allows the player to expect an increase in the number of prize balls, thereby enhancing the interest in the game. As described above, the first embodiment can also have the effect of increasing the value of the jackpot suggestive symbol 101 displayed during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds.

In addition, as described above, in the configuration of the first embodiment, when a jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds is executed, new fun not found in the past is generated during the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds. If the big win game is executed, it is interesting that many prize balls can be obtained and the big win suggestion pattern 101 can be displayed. In this way, since different amusement is generated depending on the number of rounds of the big win game, the amusement of the game can be further enhanced by selectively executing the big win games with different obtainable profits.
[Modification 1 of Embodiment 1]

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

In the modified example 1, when a predetermined third suggestion condition is satisfied when starting to display a jackpot ending effect during a jackpot game (when ending the final tenth opening round), the jackpot suggestion pattern 101 is suspended. While displaying the continuous villa performance, when a predetermined fourth suggesting condition is established, the reserved continuous residential performance of the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b is displayed.
Here, the third suggestion condition is that, when starting the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game according to the first to fourth jackpot game contents, there is an undigested reserved memory that is judged to be a jackpot; It is set that when the jackpot end performance of the jackpot game by six jackpot game contents is started, the jackpot is judged and there is an undigested reserved memory judged as the first to fourth jackpot game contents. On the other hand, the fourth suggesting condition is that when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game by the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents is started, the jackpot is determined and the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents are determined to be pending. It's about having a memory.

Thus, in the configuration of Modification 1, the third suggestion condition is set instead of the first suggestion condition of the first embodiment described above, and the fourth suggestion condition is set instead of the second suggestion condition of the first embodiment. Other than this, it is the same as the first embodiment, so descriptions of the same components and processes are omitted as appropriate. It should be noted that the first suggested condition and the second suggested condition are not set in the first modified example.
Here, in the modified example 1, as described above, the fourth suggestion condition for displaying the reserved renso production of the specific suggestion patterns 102a and 102b is during the jackpot game by the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents with the largest number of rounds. and there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the content of the fifth and sixth jackpot games. That is, even in this modification 1, the number of prize balls that can be obtained in the jackpot game with the number of rounds of 7 times is defined as the intermediate profit, and 10 times, which is larger than the number of rounds of 7 times, is defined as the intermediate profit. The fifth and sixth jackpot game contents, including the number of rounds, are used as constituent elements of the fourth suggestion condition (specific jackpot game contents according to the present invention).

In the jackpot ending effect of Modification Example 1, the pending Renso effect is displayed on the effect pattern display device 6 in accordance with the third suggesting condition and the fourth suggesting condition described above.
For example, when the big hit and the sixth big win game content are determined by digestion of the second reserved memory (win/fail determination processing), after the pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c fluctuate on the performance symbol display device 6, the big win symbol mode is confirmed, A jackpot game is started (FIGS. 17(A) to 17(D)). Then, when the final tenth opening round is completed, if there is an undigested reserved memory determined as the first to fourth jackpot game contents, the third suggestion condition is established. As a result, in the big-hit ending production, a reservation continuous production showing the big-hit suggesting pattern 101 is executed (FIG. 18(C)). In this modified example 1, the reservation renso production of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 suggests that there is a reservation memory for judging a jackpot with the contents of the first to fourth jackpot games among the undigested reserved memories.
In addition, in the jackpot game determined to be a jackpot based on the content of the fifth jackpot game, when the third suggestion condition is met at the end of the final 10th open round, a reservation continuous performance to display the jackpot suggestion pattern 101 is executed ( FIG. 18(B)).

On the other hand, in the jackpot game judged to be a big hit with the content of the sixth jackpot game, at the end of the final 10th opening round, if there is an undigested reserved memory that is judged to be the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game, Four suggestive conditions hold. Here, when the setting value 1 is set, the reserved consecutive villa production of the specific suggested design 102a is executed (FIG. 19(B)). In addition, when the set value 3 is set, the reserved multi-station production of the specific suggestion pattern 102b is executed (FIG. 19(C)). Furthermore, when the set value 2 is set, as in the first embodiment described above, the display of the specific suggestive pattern 102a (FIG. 19(B)) and the display of the specific suggestive pattern 102b (FIG. 19(B)) are displayed by lottery. C)) is selected, and the reserved Renso effect is executed.
In this way, the reserved rendezvous production (FIG. 19(B)) of the specific suggestion pattern 102a has the highest jackpot winning probability, in addition to the fact that there is an undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot in the fifth or sixth jackpot game content. It suggests that a low setpoint 1 or an intermediate setpoint 2 is set. In addition, the reserved Renso effect (FIG. 19C) of the specific suggestive pattern 102b has the highest jackpot winning probability in addition to the fact that there is an undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot in the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game. It suggests that a setting of 3 or an intermediate setting of 2 is set. It should be noted that, although not shown, even in the case of a big hit determined in the fifth big win game content, the suspension continuous effect of the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b is similarly displayed when the fourth suggesting condition is met.

In addition, in the jackpot game in which the jackpot determination is made based on the contents of the first to fourth jackpot games, the third suggestion condition is satisfied when there is an undigested reserved memory for jackpot determination when the final open round ends. , In the jackpot ending presentation, the reservation renso presentation of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 is displayed (FIGS. 20(C) and (D)).
In addition, even if the jackpot is determined in any of the first to sixth jackpot game contents, if all the pending memories that have not been digested are determined to be lost, the jackpot ending effect will not display the pending Renso effect (Fig. 21 (B), (C)).

As described above, the configuration of the first modification is an unspent pending memory that is determined as a jackpot of the maximum number of rounds when the jackpot game of the maximum number of rounds (fifth or sixth jackpot game content) is executed. If there is, specific suggestion patterns 102a and 102b suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed in the jackpot end effect. In the present modification 1, the fourth suggestion condition for displaying the reserved renso production of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is that the jackpot game is being played with the jackpot game content of the maximum number of rounds and the jackpot game content of the maximum round number. There is undigested pending memory to be determined. In this way, when the big wins of the big win game contents that can win the most prize balls occur continuously, the player is provided with the privilege of displaying the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b, which are highly valuable to the player. . This allows players to recognize that jackpot games with the maximum number of rounds are valuable because they bring rare profits. Therefore, according to the first modification, it is possible to further stimulate the expectation of the player who desires the maximum number of rounds to win the jackpot, to improve the interest in the game, and to selectively select the contents of the jackpot game with different obtainable profits. It is possible to improve the amusement of the game of being determined.

In addition, even in the present modified example 1, when the jackpot game of the maximum number of rounds is executed, the emotion of the player who expects the display of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b and is excited is stimulated. A new amusement that has not existed in the past can be generated during the jackpot game. Furthermore, if the reserved renso production of the specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b is displayed, the emotion of the player who expects the reserved renso production of the specific suggested patterns 102a and 102b will be effective even during the next maximum number of rounds of the jackpot game. Since the player can be stimulated physically, the player's sense of exhilaration can be maintained for a relatively long period of time. In addition, by displaying the pending rendezvous effect of the big win suggesting pattern 101, it is possible to stimulate the player's sense of expectation for the big win. In this way, the same effects as in the first embodiment described above can also be produced.
[Modification 2 of Embodiment 1]

In the configuration of the second modification, when the jackpot game of 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 determined as a jackpot. When there is a pending memory of digestion, specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b suggesting set values 1 to 3 are displayed in a jackpot end effect. That is, in the present modified example 2, the combination of the fact that the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds is being executed and the content of the jackpot game of the maximum number of rounds to be determined as the content of the jackpot game of the maximum number of rounds is the specific suggestive symbol. This is a condition (sixth suggestive condition) for displaying the pending Renso production of 102a and 102b.

In the modification 2, when the predetermined fifth suggestion condition is established when starting to display the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game, the reservation continuous effect of the jackpot suggestion pattern 101 is displayed, while the predetermined When the sixth suggesting condition is satisfied, the reservation-reserved-many production of the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b is displayed.
Here, the fifth suggestion condition is that there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be a big hit when starting the jackpot end effect of the big win game according to the third to sixth big win game contents, and the first and the first It is set that when the big win ending performance of the big win game by the two big win game contents is started, the big win is judged and there is an undigested reserved memory judged as the first to fourth big win game contents. On the other hand, the sixth suggestion condition is that when the jackpot end effect of the jackpot game by the first and second jackpot game contents is started, the jackpot is determined and the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents are determined to be undigested. It's about having a memory.

In this way, the configuration of Modification 2 is such that the fifth suggestion condition is set instead of the first suggestion condition of the first embodiment described above, and the sixth suggestion condition is set instead of the second suggestion condition of the first embodiment. Other than this, it is the same as the first embodiment, so descriptions of the same components and processes are omitted as appropriate. It should be noted that Modification 2 has a configuration in which neither the first suggestion condition nor the second suggestion condition is set (neither of course, nor are the third and fourth suggestion conditions set).
Here, also in Modification 2, the number of winning balls that can be obtained in the jackpot game with the number of rounds of 7 times is defined as the intermediate profit as in the above-described Examples 1 and 2. First and second jackpot game contents (particular jackpot game contents according to the present invention) including four rounds less than the seven rounds are combined with the first and second jackpot game contents. The contents of the fifth and sixth jackpot games constitute the sixth suggestion condition.

In the jackpot end effect of the modified example 2, the pending Renso effect is displayed on the effect pattern display device 6 according to the fifth suggesting condition and the sixth suggesting condition described above.
For example, when the big hit and the second big win game content are determined by digestion of the second reserved memory (win/fail determination processing), after the pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c fluctuate on the performance symbol display device 6, the big win symbol mode is confirmed, A jackpot game is started (FIGS. 17(A) to 17(D)). Then, when the final fourth opening round is completed, if there is an undigested reserved memory determined as the first to fourth jackpot game contents, the fifth suggestion condition is established. As a result, in the big-hit ending production, a reservation continuous production showing the big-hit suggesting pattern 101 is executed (FIG. 18(C)). In the present modified example 2, the reservation renso effect of this jackpot suggesting pattern 101 suggests that there is a reservation memory for judging a jackpot with the contents of the first to fourth jackpot games among the undigested reserved memories.
In addition, in the jackpot game determined as the jackpot based on the content of the first jackpot game, when the fifth suggestion condition is met at the end of the final fourth opening round, a reservation continuous performance of displaying the jackpot suggestion pattern 101 is executed ( FIG. 18(B)).

On the other hand, in the jackpot game judged to be a jackpot with the content of the second jackpot game, at the end of the final fourth open round, if there is an undigested reserved memory that is judged to be the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game, Six suggestive conditions hold. Here, when the setting value 1 is set, the reserved consecutive villa production of the specific suggestion pattern 102a is executed (FIG. 19(B)). In addition, when the set value 3 is set, the reserved multi-station production of the specific suggestion pattern 102b is executed (FIG. 19(C)). Furthermore, when the set value 2 is set, the display of the specific suggestive pattern 102a (Fig. 19(B)) and the display of the specific suggestive pattern 102b (Fig. 19 ( C)) is selected, and the reserved Renso effect is executed.
In this way, the reserved rendezvous production (FIG. 19(B)) of the specific suggesting pattern 102a has the highest jackpot winning probability in addition to the undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot in the fifth or sixth jackpot game content. This suggests that either the low setpoint 1 or the medium setpoint 2 is set. In addition, the reserved Renso effect (Fig. 19(C)) of the specific suggestive pattern 102b has the highest jackpot winning probability in addition to having undigested reserved memory for judging the jackpot in the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game. It suggests that a setting value of 3 or an intermediate setting value of 2 is set. Incidentally, although not shown, even in the case of a big hit determined in the first big win game content, the suspension consecutive performance of the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b is similarly displayed when the sixth suggesting condition is satisfied.

In addition, in the jackpot game in which the third to sixth jackpot game contents are determined to be a big hit, when the final open round ends, if there is a pending memory that has not been digested to determine the jackpot, the fifth suggestion condition is established. , In the jackpot ending presentation, the reservation renso presentation of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 is displayed (FIGS. 20(C) and (D)).
In addition, even if the jackpot is determined in any of the first to sixth jackpot game contents, if all the pending memories that have not been digested are determined to be lost, the jackpot ending effect will not display the pending Renso effect (Fig. 21 (B), (C)).

As described above, the configuration of this modification 2 is such that when the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds (first or second jackpot game content) is executed, the maximum number of rounds (fifth or sixth jackpot game content) If there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined as a big win, specific suggestion patterns 102a and 102b suggesting the set values 1 to 3 are displayed in a big win end effect. In the present modified example 2, the sixth suggestion condition for displaying the reserved renso production of the specific suggestion symbols 102a and 102b is that the jackpot game content of the minimum number of rounds is being played and that the jackpot game content of the maximum number of rounds is being played. There is undigested pending 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 play a role of suggesting the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds in which the largest number of prize balls can be obtained, and the set value 1 to 3 and has a role suggesting 3. As a result, when a jackpot of the minimum number of rounds with a small number of obtainable prize balls is achieved, the emotions of the player who desires the display of the specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b are extremely strongly stimulated, and the specific suggestive patterns are displayed during the jackpot game. The emotions of the player who is excited in anticipation of the display of 102a and 102b are stimulated. As a result, it is possible to dramatically increase the player's interest in the jackpot of the minimum number of rounds. Interest arises. Therefore, the amusement of the game can be further improved, and the amusement of the game can be improved by selectively determining a plurality of jackpot game contents with different obtainable profits.
[Example 2]

Next, the essential part of the present invention will be explained in a second embodiment.
First, the outline of Example 2 is demonstrated.

In Embodiment 1, Modification 1 or Modification 2 of Embodiment 1, when there is an unspent pending memory for a big win, a set value that is the probability of winning a big win that has been set when the content of the game is a predetermined big win. to select a specific suggestive pattern, and perform a reservation continuous villa effect display process (see FIGS. 16, 19, etc.).
On the other hand, in the second embodiment, even if there is no big win in the undigested pending memory, the set values are referred to and the pending Renso advance notice effect accompanied by the specific suggestion pattern is performed.

An example of the production pattern is shown.
FIG. 22(a) shows the ending display at the end of the jackpot game accompanied by the character pattern 130 and the message pattern 131. For example, when the setting value is set to 3, the jackpot is displayed as shown in FIG. 22(b). In addition to the message pattern 131 and the character pattern 132 indicating the end of the game, a message pattern 133 indicating the notice of the reservation renso is displayed to perform the notice of the reservation renso, and after that, when there is an undigested reservation memory of a big hit. In addition to the message pattern 131 and the character pattern 134 shown in FIG. 22(c), a message pattern 135 indicating that the reservation is confirmed is displayed.
On the other hand, even if the setting value is the setting 3, the message pattern 135 shown in FIG. 22(c) is not displayed when there is no pending memory for a big hit.
As a result, if the message pattern 135 indicating that the reserved consecutive villas are confirmed is not displayed after the message pattern 133 indicating the notice of the reserved consecutive villas is displayed, the player can guess that the probability value is set to 3. becomes.
In addition to displaying the message pattern 135 indicating that the reservation has been confirmed after displaying the message pattern 133 showing the advance notice of the reserved mansion, only the message pattern 133 is displayed, and after that the message pattern 133 is displayed. It may also be possible to entertain whether or not a big hit will be achieved by a variable performance based on reserved memory.
As another example of display, when the pseudo pattern changes after the reservation notice display is performed, as shown in FIG. . In addition to displaying the message pattern 136, it is conceivable to provide a special performance mode that can be shifted only when there is a notice of reservation.
Incidentally, FIG. 22(e) shows an example of a normal pseudo pattern variation display after the notice of the reserved consecutive villas is displayed.

This second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24. FIG.
The reservation consecutive villas effect process 2 shown in FIG. 23 is a flowchart for controlling the display of the reservation consecutive villas effect, like the reservation consecutive villas process shown in FIG. 16 .
23, when there is no unspent reservation memory for a big hit (S1005: No), the processing shown in S1100 to S1130 is executed instead of terminating the reservation continuous villa production process 2. In other cases, the reservation continuous production process shown in FIG. 16 is executed. 23 and 16 have the same step number, the same processing is performed.
In the second embodiment, when there is no pending memory for a big hit (S1005: No), it is determined whether or not the set value, which is the winning probability of the big win, is a predetermined value (S1100).

If the set value is not the predetermined value (S1100: No), the reservation continuous villa effect processing 2 is terminated, and if the set value is the predetermined value (S1100: Yes), the process proceeds to S1110.
At S1110, it is determined whether or not the conditions for making a reservation notice are met.
If an affirmative determination is made in S1110 (S1110: Yes), the specific suggestive symbol selection process is executed (S1120), and then the reservation consecutive villa effect display process (after S1130 is executed, the reservation consecutive villa effect process 2 is terminated). .
In the specific suggested design selection process (S1120), the specific suggested design 102a or 102b is selected (see FIG. 19), as in S1025 of the first embodiment. In addition, in the second embodiment, the function of suggesting setting information in the specific suggestive pattern itself is not essential, so it is possible to have either the specific suggestive pattern 102a or 102b alone.
The reservation consecutive manor effect display process (S1130) performs the same processing as S1040 of the first embodiment, but the reservation consecutive manor confirmation display process is not performed. That is, the message pattern 133 shown in FIG. 22(b) is displayed, but the message pattern 135 shown in FIG. 22(c) is not displayed.

Here, the processing of S1100 to S1120 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 24(a) to 24(f). In the case of "hit" shown in FIGS. 24(a) to 24(f), the reserved consecutive villa display process shown in FIG. 16 of the first embodiment is executed.
In the case of FIG. 24(a), when there is a big win in the pending memory and when the set value, which is the winning probability of the set big win, is set to 3, even if there is no big win in the pending memory, the pending notice is given. may be performed. If this is the case, when setting 1 or 2, the jackpot will be confirmed when the reservation notice is issued, and if the loss is made despite the reservation notice, setting 3 will be confirmed. An unpleasing development can be turned into a production that gives joy.
In the case of FIG. 24(b), when there is a big win in the reserve memory, and when the set value, which is the winning probability of the big win, is setting 2 or setting 3, it is reserved even if there is no big win in the reserve memory. Renso notice may be carried out. If this is the case, at the time of setting 1, the jackpot will be confirmed at the time the reservation notice is issued, and if the reservation notice is issued but the loss is lost, setting 2 or more will be confirmed. It is possible to create a production that gives joy by turning a development that is originally not pleasing into a single point. In addition, when setting 2 and setting 3 are lost, when the reservation renso notice is performed, the specific suggesting pattern 102a is selected at setting 2, and the specific suggesting pattern 102b is selected at setting 3 and displayed. good. Depending on the settings, the selected specific suggesting patterns may be opposite or may be the same. Alternatively, the message pattern 133 or 136 may simply be displayed.
Note that the process of S1110 is omitted in FIG. 24(a) or FIG. 24(b). That is, if the setting value is setting 2 or setting 3, the process proceeds to S1120 without performing the processing of S1110.

In the case of FIG. 24(c), when the set value is set to 3 and the failure (loss) reach display is performed, there is a case where the pending advance notice is performed. If this is the case, the development of a big shock for the player, who has lost despite the reach occurring in the variable display of the reservation memory that was the target of the reservation Renso notice, will give joy. can be an opportunity.
Incidentally, the out-reach display may be divided into normal reach with a short fluctuation time and special reach with a long fluctuation time, and in the case of the special reach, the specific suggestive symbol 102a or the specific suggestive symbol 102b may be displayed.
Further, the specific suggesting pattern 102a may be displayed in the case of normal reach, and the specific suggesting pattern 102b may be displayed in the case of special reach.
In the case of FIG. 24(c), the processes of S1120 and S1130 are not executed when the complete failure display without the ready-to-win display is performed.
The process of S1110 is to determine whether or not the reach display is to be performed, and whether the reach is the normal reach or the special reach.
As described above, the main controller 80 sends to the sub-integrated controller 83 a signal indicating whether or not the reach display is to be performed and whether the reach is normal reach or special reach.

In the case of FIG. 24(d), irrespective of settings 1 to 3, the variable display in the hold memory that is the target of the hold renso advance notice results in a loss even though reach has occurred. It is conceivable that this is used in an effect configuration in which when the reservation advance notice is displayed, the ready-to-win effect is always executed in any of the target reserved memories. However, in the case where the reserve renso notice is given but the ready-to-win display is not performed and the game is lost, it is determined that the set value is set 3. In that case, the same effect as in FIG. 24(a) can be obtained.
In addition, when the ready-to-win display performs the lose-to-win display, it is conceivable to display the specific suggesting pattern 102a or the specific suggesting pattern 102b.
In the case of the complete failure display, it is conceivable that the specific suggesting pattern 102a or the specific suggesting pattern 102b is displayed only when the set value is set to 3.
In the case of FIG. 24(e), if the fluctuation display in the hold memory that is the target of the hold renso notice is lost despite the occurrence of reach, setting 2 is confirmed and the reach display is not performed. If it fails, the setting 3 is determined. If this is the case, the set value can be determined depending on what kind of change content is lost, so the player can not only correct or disapprove the change display in the hold memory that is the target of the hold consecutive notice, but also the change content. can be interested. In addition, when setting 2 and displaying a complete failure, it is conceivable that the specific suggestion pattern 102a is displayed.
It is conceivable that the specific suggestion pattern 102b is displayed when setting 3 and performing the reach-losing display.

In the case of FIG. 24(f), even when there is a pending memory that has not yet been used to win a big hit, the pending consecutive house display processing shown in FIG. When there is no undigested pending memory, the pending notice may be made only at setting 3.
As for the condition (S1110) for performing the reservation reservation notice shown in FIG. 24(f), the reservation reservation notice is not performed when the number of open rounds is 4 or 7. On the other hand, when there is a jackpot pending memory with the number of open rounds being 10, or when the set value is set to 3 and there is no jackpot in the pending memory, a pending continuous advance notice display is performed.
As a result, when a reservation notice is given, a big hit with a large number of winning balls or a next big hit with setting 3 even if there is no consecutive game can be expected.

In the case of FIGS. 24(d) to 24(f), normal reach and special reach may be classified, and the specific suggestive pattern 102a or the specific suggestive pattern 102b may be displayed according to the classification.
In addition, the processing shown in S1005 of FIG. 23 can be made to make an affirmative determination in the case of a small hit instead of a big hit. Affirmative determination may be made not only for a small win but also for a small win in which the big winning hole is continuously opened when a game ball passes through a specific area in the big winning hole when a small win is made.
[Modification 1 of Embodiment 2]

A modification of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Incidentally, S1005 to S1040 shown in FIG. 25 perform the same processing as S1005 to S1040 of the first embodiment.
In the modified example of the second embodiment, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not it has received a signal for starting the jackpot ending effect from the main control device 80 (S1150). If the determination is affirmative (S1150: Yes), the process proceeds to S1160.

In S1160, it is determined whether or not the set value, which is the set winning probability of the big hit, is a predetermined value (S1160). If the determination is negative (S1160: No), the process proceeds to S1005.
If the determination is affirmative (S1160: Yes), the specific suggestion symbol selection process (S1170) and the reservation consecutive villa effect display process (S1180) are executed, and the reservation consecutive villa effect process 3 ends.
It should be noted that the specific suggested pattern selection process (S1170) is the same as the specific suggested pattern selection process (S1120) shown in FIG. ) is the same process as

Features of the second embodiment will be described.
In Embodiment 2 or Modification 1 of Embodiment 2, even if there is no jackpot in the unspent holding memory, if the set value, which is the winning probability of the set jackpot, is equal to or higher than the set value of 2, a reservation notice is given. is executed. However, since there is no jackpot in the pending memory, the pending Renso determination display (FIG. 22(c)) is not displayed.
As a result, when the reservation confirmation display is not displayed in spite of the advance notice of the reservation reservation, the player may be disappointed because the reservation is not made, but the winning probability of the big win is high. Since it can be guessed, it exerts the effect of stimulating the gambling spirit.
In addition, even when there is no jackpot in the undigested reserved memory, it is possible to give notice of reserved consecutive games, and the effect of increasing the chance of giving notice of reserved consecutive games and further improving the interest in the game is exhibited.

In the second embodiment or the modified example 1 of the second embodiment, the winning is set by the appearance of the message pattern 133 or 136 and the character pattern 102a or 102b appearing in the reservation display of the reservation reservation without performing the confirmation display of the reservation reservation. Although the configuration suggests that the probability is a predetermined value, the "probability suggesting means" of the present invention is not limited to this aspect.
For example, it may be a pattern that appears only when there is no big win in the reserved memory and the set value of the winning probability is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. Also, the pattern may appear momentarily.
In addition, in the case of the configuration having the first special symbol and the second special symbol, it is conceivable to provide the reservation advance notice of the present invention only for the reservation storage of the second special symbol. In particular, if the starting port of the second special symbol is provided in the normal electric accessory and the opening extension function of the normal electric accessory is in operation, the ball can be easily entered into the starting port. It is possible to make it possible to carry out a reservation notice that the setting value can be guessed only when the game state is operating.
In addition, in the case of a structure in which a big winning hole having a specific area is opened by the above-mentioned small win, and a game ball passes through the specific area to generate a big win game, there is a small win in the reserved memory. It is conceivable to make a reservation reservation notice by If the game configuration is such that the ball is almost always entered into a specific area when a small hit is made, it is conceivable to perform even the confirmation display of the reservation renso. It is conceivable to perform.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the configuration of performing the reservation consecutive game notice in the big win end production has been described, but the configuration may be such that the reservation consecutive game notice is given at the time of the big win start production or during the round game. In particular, during a round game, it is conceivable to provide an effect display as to whether or not the reservation series is confirmed over a plurality of round games. At the time of the jackpot game, winning of balls is the main focus, and there is a possibility that the player loses interest in the performance display, but in this case, the player can enjoy the performance display even during the jackpot game.

The present invention is not limited to the second or first embodiment described above, and can be modified in design without departing from the gist of the present invention.
In the following, another example of the above-described Examples 1 and 2 (including modifications; the same shall apply hereinafter) will be described.
In the first embodiment, when the first suggestion condition is satisfied, the reservation consecutive residence performance of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 is executed. good. That is, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b are displayed only when the second suggesting condition is satisfied without providing the first suggesting condition and the jackpot suggesting pattern 101.例文帳に追加Even with this configuration, the effects produced by displaying the specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b can be obtained in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
In addition, even in the first modification of the first embodiment, similarly, the configuration may be such that the third suggesting condition is not provided, and the reservation consecutive resort effect of the big hit suggesting pattern 101 is not executed. In addition, even in the third embodiment, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the holding consecutive resort effect of the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 is not executed without providing the fifth suggesting condition.

Further, in Examples 1 and 2, the look-ahead determination process is executed at the timing when the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory are stored by the ball entering the first starting hole 11 and the second starting hole 12, respectively. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the timing for prefetching undigested pending memories can be changed and set as appropriate. For example, at the timing of starting the execution of the jackpot ending effect (in other words, at the timing immediately before the display of the pending Renso effect), it is possible to prefetch the pending memory that has not yet been digested. Furthermore, it is also possible to prefetch the undigested reserved memory at the timing of starting the big win game, and prefetch the newly generated undigested reserved memory during the big win game.
Alternatively, when each random number is extracted by the ball entering the start openings 11 and 12, the look-ahead determination process may be executed before storing the first and second reserved memories. Specifically, when a ball enters the starting holes 11 and 12, a random number for determining a big hit, a random number for determining a big hit pattern, and the like are extracted and temporarily stored. Then, by pre-reading determination processing, it is determined whether or not the temporarily stored big win determination random number is a big win, and in the case of big win determination, one big win game content is determined based on the big win pattern determination random number. After this look-ahead determination process, a process of storing temporarily stored random numbers such as the jackpot determination random numbers as reserved storage is performed.
Furthermore, in Embodiments 1 and 2, the prefetch information (information on the result of winning/failure determination and information on the content of the big hit game) is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 each time the pending storage is prefetched. Not limited to this, at the timing of starting execution of the jackpot end effect (in other words, at the timing immediately before the display of the pending Renso effect), the configuration of transmitting the look-ahead information of all the undigested pending memories to the sub-integrated control device 83 can also be Similarly, even in the configuration in which the prefetch determination process is executed before the storage of the reserved memory, the prefetch information may be transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 at the start timing of execution of the jackpot end effect.

In addition, in Examples 1 and 2, the configuration is provided with three stages of setting values 1 to 3 that define mutually different jackpot winning probabilities. It is possible. That is, setting values 1 to 2 in two steps, setting values 1 to 6 in six steps, or the like are also possible. Furthermore, even if the probability of winning a big hit determined for each set value is not limited to the first and second embodiments, it can be set by changing it as appropriate.
Further, in Embodiments 1 and 2, the set value information is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 at the timing when the power is turned on. It is also possible to change the timing as appropriate. For example, the information of the set value may be transmitted at the timing of starting the variation of the first and second special symbols (timing of determination). Furthermore, the timing of digesting the reserved memory, the timing of stopping the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, the timing of fixing and stopping the first and second special symbols in the jackpot pattern mode, the timing of starting the jackpot game, and the jackpot end effect It is also possible to set the timing of starting the

In addition, in the first and second embodiments, the first to sixth jackpot game contents are selectable, but the number of selectable jackpot game contents can be appropriately changed and set. For example, three types of jackpot game contents can be selected, or ten types of jackpot game contents can be selected. Here, by appropriately changing the set number of rounds and the set number of game states that constitute the jackpot game content, it is possible to set a different number of jackpot game content from the embodiment. Specifically, four types of round numbers of 4 times, 7 times, 10 times, and 16 times, normal game state, variable probability game state, and time saving game state (state to enable time saving mode and open extension mode) 12 types of jackpot game contents can be set by combining with the three types of game states. Furthermore, it is also possible to apply, for example, a small winning rush game state to the game state.
Furthermore, although the jackpot game contents of the first and second embodiments are configured by combining the number of rounds and the game state, it is possible to set various jackpot game contents without being limited to this. For example, the contents of the big win game can be made up of only the number of rounds, or can be made up of only the game state to be shifted after the big win game.

Further, in the first and second embodiments, the selection probabilities of the first to sixth jackpot game contents can be changed and set as appropriate.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the second suggestive condition for displaying the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b is that the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds is being played and there is an undigested pending memory that is determined to be the content of the jackpot game of the minimum number of rounds. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the second suggestion condition can be changed and set as appropriate. That is, in Example 1, based on the intermediate profit (7 rounds) targeting only the number of rounds, the second suggestion condition was set according to the contents of the first and second jackpot games, but profits other than the number of rounds Alternatively, the second suggestion condition can be determined by a combination of the number of rounds and other benefits.
For example, the second suggestion condition can be set such that there is an undigested reserved memory determined as the second big-hit game content during the big-hit game with the second big-hit game content. In this case, the second jackpot game content with the lowest profit including the number of rounds and the game state after the jackpot game is set as the constituent element of the second suggestion condition (specific jackpot game content of the present invention). In addition, in this configuration, a pseudo intermediate profit is between the third big winning game content and the fourth big winning game content.
Alternatively, it is also possible to set the second suggestion condition according to the selection probability of the first to sixth jackpot game contents. For example, the second suggestion condition is that a jackpot game is being played with the jackpot game content with the highest selection probability and there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the jackpot game content with the selection probability. The second suggestion condition in this case is substantially the same as in the first embodiment, but if the selection probability of each jackpot game content differs from that in the first embodiment, the second suggestion condition may differ from the first embodiment.
Furthermore, it is also possible to set the second suggestion condition by combining the jackpot game content (the number of rounds and the game state after the jackpot game) and the selection probability of the jackpot game content.
In addition, even in modifications 1 and 2 of the first embodiment, similarly, the fourth suggesting condition and the sixth suggesting condition may be set to contents including the game state to be shifted after the jackpot game, or may be set according to the selection probability. It is also possible to set

Further, in the first embodiment, when the second suggestion condition is established and the set value 2 is set, the specific suggestion pattern 102a or the specific suggestion pattern 102b is selected and displayed by lottery using the specific suggestion extraction random number. However, it is possible to select the specific suggesting pattern 102a or the specific suggesting pattern 102b according to other selection methods. For example, in a state where the set value 2 is set, the specific suggesting pattern 102a and the specific suggesting pattern 102b may be alternately selected and displayed each time the second suggesting condition is satisfied. Alternatively, one of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b depending on the progress of the game (for example, the number of consecutive occurrences of losing, the number of prize balls per unit time, the ratio between the number of shots and the number of prize balls, etc.) or to select one of them according to the lottery probability that changes according to the progress. By selecting the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b according to a predetermined rule in this manner, the player has a strong desire to continue the game in order to determine the set value more accurately, as in the first embodiment. Therefore, there is also the advantage that the operating rate of the machine can be improved.
Incidentally, even under the fourth suggesting condition of the second embodiment and the sixth suggesting condition of the third embodiment, it is possible to similarly select the specific suggesting pattern 102a and the specific suggesting pattern 102b using various selection methods. It is possible, and the same effects can be achieved.

Further, in the first embodiment, if the set value 2 is set when the second suggesting condition is met, a specific suggesting pattern different from the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b may be displayed. By displaying the specific suggested symbols assigned to each set value in this manner, the player can accurately know the set value. It should be noted that the same applies to modifications 1 and 2 of the first embodiment.

In addition, in the first and second embodiments, the set values are suggested by the reservation-reserved plots effect that displays the specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b. If so, it is also possible to display a reservation rendering that suggests other information. For example, it is also possible to display a reservation rendering that suggests information indicating whether the set value is an odd number or an even number. Specifically, when the set value is an odd number, a predetermined suggested design is displayed, while when the set value is an even number, a suggested design different from the suggested design is displayed. Alternatively, when there is a change in the set value (when the set value is changed from yesterday), it is also possible to display a pending continuous production effect suggesting a change in the set value. Specifically, when the set value is changed to a set value with a higher jackpot winning probability than yesterday’s set value, a predetermined suggestive pattern is displayed, while the set value is changed to a set value with a jackpot winning probability lower than yesterday’s set value. If so, a suggested pattern different from the suggested pattern is displayed.

Further, in the first and second embodiments, the jackpot end effect during the jackpot game is to execute the reservation continuous performance of displaying the jackpot suggesting pattern 101 or the specific suggesting patterns 102a and 102b. It is also possible to execute the reservation Renso effect other than the ending effect. For example, it is possible to execute the above-mentioned reservation consecutive resort performance in the big hit start performance, or to execute the reservation continuous rental performance during any one or a plurality of open rounds. Alternatively, it is also possible to execute the above-mentioned suspension renso effect during the interval between rounds. Further, the reservation consecutive villas effect may be executed at all of these timings, or the reservation consecutive villas effect may be executed at a plurality of timings among these timings. In addition, it is also possible to set a plurality of timings at which a reservation rendering can be executed, and select one or a plurality of timings.

In addition, in Examples 1 and 2, during the jackpot game with specific jackpot game content, there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the jackpot game content that is the same as or a predetermined combination with the specific jackpot game content. , the reserved renso display is executed to display specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b suggesting the set values, but a different configuration is also possible.
For example, as another example 1, "retaining memory generation that extracts a predetermined random number due to the entry of a game ball into a starting hole provided in the game area and stores the extracted random number as a reserving memory up to a predetermined upper limit number By digesting the reserved memory stored by means and the reserved memory generating means, whether or not the random number in the reserved memory is a big hit is judged according to a predetermined winning probability, and when the result of the judgment is a big hit, Win/fail determination means for selecting one jackpot game content from among a plurality of jackpot game contents with mutually different profits obtainable by a player; A jackpot game control means for executing a jackpot game for opening a jackpot according to the content of the jackpot game selected by the negation determination means, and a plurality of winning probabilities different from each other, any one of which is won by the operation of a manager. A pinball game machine comprising probability setting means for setting the probability to be valid,
It is determined whether the random number extracted due to the ball entering the starting hole by the holding storage generating means is a big win before the win/loss determination means determines whether or not it is a big hit, and if the result of this determination is a big win, the hit is determined. a pre-reading determination means for determining a big hit game content selected by the failure determination means; When there is a pending memory of digestion, a suggestion performance is performed to suggest winning probability information related to the winning probability set by the probability setting means during the jackpot game executed based on the jackpot by the hit/non-applicability judging means. A pinball game machine characterized by comprising control means. ” is proposed.
As a specific example of this another example 1, if there is an undigested reserved memory for judging a big hit during a big win game according to the contents of the first and second big win games, a specific suggestion pattern 102a is displayed in the big win end effect of the big win game. , 102b are displayed (see FIG. 19). Even with such a configuration, as in the first embodiment, the player's interest can be attracted to the jackpot game with the minimum number of rounds, and the amusement of the game can be improved. In addition, as another specific example, if there is an undigested reserved memory for judging a big hit during a big hit game according to the contents of the fifth and sixth big win games, a holding sequence that displays specific suggestive patterns 102a and 102b in a big win end production. It is good also as composition which performs sho production. In this case, as in the case of the second embodiment, the player can be made to recognize that the jackpot game in which the largest number of prize balls can be obtained is valuable.

In addition, as another example 2, "predetermined random numbers are extracted due to the entry of a game ball into a start hole provided in the game area, and the extracted random numbers are stored as a reserved memory up to a predetermined upper limit number. By digesting the reserved memory stored by the generating means and the reserved memory generating means, whether or not the random number in the reserved memory is a big hit is judged according to a predetermined winning probability, and when the result of the judgment is a big hit. a success/fail determination means for selecting one jackpot game content from among a plurality of jackpot game contents with mutually different profits obtainable by a player; A jackpot game control means for executing a jackpot game for opening a jackpot according to the content of the jackpot game selected by the pertinence determination means; A pinball game machine comprising probability setting means for setting the winning probability to be valid,
The random number extracted due to the entry into the starting hole by the holding memory generation means is judged whether it is a big hit or not before the judgment is made by the judgment means. a prefetching determination means for determining the content of the big win game selected by the non-determining means; and when the success/failure determining means determines that the game is a big win, there is an unexperienced suspension memory to be determined as a big hit by the prefetching determination means and the suspension. When the memorized jackpot game contents are the specific jackpot game contents, 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 pertinence determination means. A pinball game machine characterized by comprising suggestion performance control means for performing a suggestion performance. ” is proposed.
As a specific example of this example 2, during the big win game, if there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the content of the first and second big win games, the specific suggestive symbols 102a, 102a, 102b is displayed to execute the reservation Renso effect (see FIG. 19). With such a configuration, since the emotion of the player who desires the display of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b is stimulated in any jackpot game according to the content of the jackpot game, a new interest can be created during the jackpot game. can give rise to Furthermore, the display of the specific suggestive symbols 102a and 102b indicates that there is an undigested pending memory that will result in a big win with a small number of prize balls that can be obtained. It is possible to increase the player's interest in the jackpot with a small number of prize balls that can be obtained. Further, as another specific example, if there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined to be the content of the fifth or sixth jackpot game during the jackpot game, the jackpot end effect is executed to display specific suggestion patterns 102a and 102b. It is good also as composition which performs sho production. In this case, as in the case of the second embodiment, the player can be made to recognize that the jackpot game in which the largest number of prize balls can be obtained is valuable.

In addition, as a configuration different from the first and second embodiments, during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol that determines the big hit, the production symbol display device 6 displays the big hit suggesting symbol 101 or the specific suggesting symbols 102a, 102b. There is also proposed a configuration for executing the displayed pending Renso production. Specifically, at a predetermined timing immediately before the start of variation of the pseudo special symbols 110a to 110c or during the variation display, the first and second big win game contents are confirmed as a big hit and the first and second big win game contents are determined. When the suggesting condition that there is an undigested reserved memory to be displayed is established, the reserved Renso production is displayed during the variable display. Here, as the predetermined timing during the variable display, it is possible to apply the timing when the variable display is started, the timing when the reach is achieved, the timing when the temporary stop is performed, and the like. Furthermore, even if the suggestion condition of this different configuration is satisfied, the fact that the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents are confirmed as the jackpot, and that there is an undigested reserved memory that is determined as the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents, , 1st and 2nd jackpot game contents are confirmed as jackpots, and there is an undigested reserved memory determined as the fifth and sixth jackpot game contents.

In the configuration of Embodiments 1 and 2, the random numbers (variation pattern determination random numbers, etc.) relating to the variation pattern of the special symbols are extracted by entering the start ports 11 and 12 and stored as reserved storage. However, the random number (variation pattern determination random number or the like) may be extracted at the time of the success/failure determination by the success/failure determination process.

In addition, in the configuration of Embodiments 1 and 2, it is arranged to display the pending rendezvous effect suggesting the set set value on the screen of the rendition pattern display device 6, but this is not the only option. The manor effect may be executed by lighting or blinking of a lamp, or may be executed by sound from a speaker. Furthermore, the display on the production pattern display device 6, the light emission by the lamp, and the sound by the speaker may be appropriately combined.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 of the first and second embodiments has a configuration including the upper tray 55 and the lower tray 63, but the configuration is not limited to this, and a so-called enclosed type pachinko machine may be used. An enclosed pachinko machine performs a game by circulating a predetermined number of game balls enclosed therein. The above-described Embodiments 1 and 2 and other examples can be applied to such an enclosed pachinko machine, and the same effects can be obtained. Moreover, the pachinko machines of the first and second embodiments may be so-called management game machines. The management game machine disables external access to the main control device. The configurations of the above-described first and second embodiments and other examples can be applied to such managed gaming machines, and similar effects can be obtained.
