Under the hitting ball supply tray 3, there are provided a surplus ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the hitting ball. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  An effect display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided near the center of the game area 7. The effect display device 9 performs variable display (variation) of the effect symbol (decorative symbol) in synchronization with the variable display (variable display) of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Therefore, the effect display device 9 corresponds to an effect symbol variable display device that performs variable display (variable display) of effect symbols (decorative symbols) as identification information. The effect display device 9 is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. When the first special symbol display 8a is executing variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control microcomputer causes the effect display device 9 to execute the effect display along with the variable display, and the second special symbol display 8a executes the second special display. When the variable display of the second special symbol is executed on the symbol display 8b, the effect display is executed by the effect display device in accordance with the variable display, so that it is possible to easily grasp the progress of the game.

  A first special symbol display (first variable display means) 8 a that variably displays a first special symbol as identification information is provided on the left side of the top of the effect display device 9 in the game board 6. In this embodiment, the first special symbol display 8a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols. That is, the first special symbol display 8a is configured to variably display a plurality of types of symbols. A second special symbol display (second variable display means) 8b that variably displays a second special symbol as identification information is provided on the right side of the upper portion of the effect display device 9 in the game board 6. The second special symbol display 8b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols. That is, the second special symbol display 8b is configured to variably display a plurality of types of symbols.

  In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same symbol, but the types may be different. The first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b may be configured to variably display characters such as numbers such as 0 to 9, 00 to 99, and alphabets, for example. .

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b may be collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator.

  For the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition or the second start condition, which is the variable display execution condition, is satisfied (for example, the game ball has the first start winning opening 13 or the second start winning opening) 14), a variable display start condition (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed) When the variable display time (fluctuation time) elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed when the big hit game or the small hit game is not executed. Note that winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  The effect display device 9 is for decoration (effect) during the variable display time of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b. Display design (also referred to as a decorative design) as a design. The variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the variable display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b and the variable display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Synchronous means that the start time and end time of variable display are substantially the same (may be exactly the same) and the variable display period is substantially the same (may be exactly the same). Further, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 reminds the jackpot The combination of is stopped and displayed.

  A winning device having a first start winning port 13 is provided below the effect display device 9. The game ball won in the first start winning opening 13 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the first start opening switch 13a.

  A variable winning ball device 15 having a second starting winning port 14 through which a game ball can be won is provided below a winning device having a first starting winning port (first starting port) 13. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening (second start opening) 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 14a. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the game ball can be awarded to the second starting winning port 14 (it is easier to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 14 than the first starting winning opening 13. In addition, in a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, the game ball does not win the second start winning opening 14. In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the closed state, it may be configured that the winning is possible (that is, it is difficult for the gaming ball to win) although it is difficult to win a prize.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14 may be collectively referred to as a start winning opening or a starting opening.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading for the variable winning ball device 15 is very likely to win the second start winning port 14. The first start winning opening 13 is provided directly under the effect display device 9, but the interval between the lower end of the effect display device 9 and the first start winning opening 13 is further reduced, or the first start winning opening is set. The winning percentage of the second starting prize opening 14 is such that the nails are densely arranged around 13 or the nail arrangement around the first starting prize opening 13 is difficult to guide the game ball to the first starting prize opening 13. This may be made higher than the winning rate of the first start winning opening 13.

  Below the first special symbol display 8a, the number of valid winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13, that is, the first reserved memory number (the reserved memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start prize memory) is displayed 4. There is provided a first special symbol storage memory indicator 18a composed of two indicators (for example, LEDs). The first special symbol storage memory display 18a increases the number of indicators to be turned on by 1 every time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 8a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  Below the second special symbol display 8b is a second special symbol hold comprising four indicators (for example, LEDs) for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning opening 14, that is, the second reserved memory number. A storage indicator 18b is provided. The second special symbol storage memory display 18b increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 every time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the second special symbol display 8b is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  Further, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is provided with a first reserved memory display unit 18c for displaying the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory display unit 18d for displaying the second reserved memory number. . In addition, you may make it provide the area | region (sum total pending | holding memory display part) which displays the total number (sum total pending memory count) which is the sum total of the 1st pending memory count and the 2nd pending memory count. As described above, if the summation pending storage display section for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that are not satisfied with the variable display start condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, there is provided a variable winning ball device 15 that opens and closes only the second starting winning opening 14, but the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 13 are provided. Any of the winning openings 14 may be provided with a variable winning ball apparatus that opens and closes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a special variable winning ball device 20 is provided below the variable winning ball device 15. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes an opening / closing plate, and when the specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and the specific display result (big hit symbol) on the second special symbol display 8b. When the open / close plate is controlled to be open by the solenoid 21 in the specific game state (big hit game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the big winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. The game ball that has won the big winning opening is detected by the count switch 23.

  A normal symbol display 10 is provided at the lower right side of the game board 6. The normal symbol display 10 variably displays a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, variable display is performed by alternately lighting the upper and lower lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized when turned on). For example, if the lower lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. In other words, the state of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the normal symbol is a stop symbol (a state in which a game ball can be awarded at the second start winning port 14). To change. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having four indicators (for example, LEDs) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of indicators that are turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display on the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of indicators that are lit is reduced by one. Further, in the probability variation state where the probability of being determined to be a big hit as compared to the normal state is high, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the variable winning ball apparatus 15 The opening time becomes longer and the number of opening times is increased. That is, the game ball is controlled to be in a high base state that is controlled so as to make it easier for the game ball to start and win (that is, the variable display execution conditions in the special symbol indicators 8a and 8b and the effect display device 9 are easily established). Transition. Further, in this embodiment, even in the short time state (the game state in which the special symbol variable display time is shortened), the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 becomes longer and the number of times of opening is increased.

  Instead of extending the time during which the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state (also referred to as the open extended state), the normal symbol display unit 10 shifts to a normal symbol probability changing state in which the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display unit 10 will be a hit symbol is increased. Depending on the situation, the high base state may be entered. When the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. In this case, by performing the transition control to the normal symbol probability changing state, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the frequency at which the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened is increased. Therefore, if the normal symbol probability changing state is entered, the opening time and the number of opening times of the variable winning ball device 15 are increased, and a state where it is easy to start a winning (high base state) is achieved. That is, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 can be increased when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol or the stop symbol of the special symbol is a probabilistic symbol. It changes to an advantageous state (a state where it is easy to win a start). It should be noted that increasing the number of times of opening is a concept including changing from a closed state to an open state.

  Moreover, you may transfer to a high base state by shifting to the normal symbol time short state where the fluctuation time (variable display period) of the normal symbol in the normal symbol display 10 is shortened. In the normal symbol short-time state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened, so that the frequency of starting the variation of the normal symbol increases, and as a result, the frequency of hitting the normal symbol increases. Therefore, when the frequency that the normal symbol is won increases, the frequency that the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state increases, and the start winning state becomes easy (high base state).

  Also, by shifting to the short time state when the variation time (variable display period) of special symbols and production symbols is shortened, the variation time of special symbols and production symbols is shortened, so that effective start winnings are likely to occur. The possibility that a big hit game is played increases.

  Furthermore, by making transitions to all the states shown above (open extended state, normal symbol probability change state, normal symbol short time state, and special symbol short time state), it will be easier to win a start (shift to a high base state). May be. In addition, it is easier to win a start (high base) by shifting to any one of the above states (open extended state, normal symbol probability changing state, normal symbol short time state, and special symbol short time state). Transition to a state).

  On the left and right sides of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there are provided decorative LEDs 25 that are displayed blinking during the game, and at the lower part there is an outlet 26 for taking in a hit ball that has not won. In addition, two speakers 27R and 27L that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A top frame LED 28a, a left frame LED 28b, and a right frame LED 28c provided on the front frame are provided on the outer periphery upper portion, the outer periphery left portion, and the outer periphery right portion of the game area 7. Also, a prize ball LED 51 that is turned on when there is a remaining number of prize balls is provided in the vicinity of the left frame LED 28b, and a ball cut LED 52 that is turned on when the supply ball is cut is provided in the vicinity of the right frame LED 28c. . The top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c, and the decoration LED 25 are examples of effects light emitters provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In addition to the above-described various LEDs for production (decoration), LEDs and lamps for production are installed.

  In the lower position of the decoration LED 25 (on the right side), a high-accuracy state is notified by being turned on when a probability variation flag (to be described later) is set at the time of start-up (when power failure is restored). A highly accurate notification LED 24 is provided.

  In addition, an operation unit 50 as an operation means that can be operated by a player is provided on a member constituting the hit ball supply tray 3. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the operation unit 50 is provided with a pressing operation unit 49 made of a transparent resin member that can be pressed by the player and can be turned on by including the LED 50b therein. It has been. An operation switch 50a for detecting a pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 49 is provided below the pressing operation unit 49 (see FIG. 4).

  In the gaming machine, a ball striking device (not shown) that drives a driving motor in response to a player operating the batting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball to the gaming area 7. ) Is provided. A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7, and then descends the game area 7. When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 and is detected by the first start opening switch 13a, if the variable display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variable display of the special symbol ends, 1), the first special symbol display 8a starts variable display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the effect display device 9 starts variable display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol). Is done. That is, the variable display of the first special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 13. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on the condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning opening 14 and is detected by the second start opening switch 14a, if the variable display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the special symbol variable display ends, 2), the second special symbol display 8b starts variable display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the effect display device 9 starts variable display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol). Is done. That is, the variable display of the second special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 14. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  The random number circuit 503 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on a display result of variable symbol special display. The random number circuit 503 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 503 includes a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit value selection setting function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using the ID number of the game control microcomputer 560 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 560). The numerical data obtained by the setting is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 503 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 560 reads numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 503 when a start winning to the first start port switch 13a or the second start port switch 14a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and the effect symbol. Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a big hit display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a big hit. Then, when it is determined to be a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power supply created on the power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the value of the special symbol process flag, the total pending storage number counter and the probability variation flag) and the data indicating the number of unpaid winning balls are stored in the backup RAM. Is done. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game (progress state data). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  A reset signal (not shown) from the power supply board is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 560. A reset circuit for generating a reset signal supplied to the game control microcomputer 560 and the like is mounted on the power supply board. When the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 560 and the like are in an operable state, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 560 and the like are in an operation stop state. Therefore, an allowable signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 560 or the like is output during a period when the reset signal is at a high level, and a game control microcomputer is output when the reset signal is at a low level. An operation stop signal for stopping the operation of 560 or the like is output. Note that the reset circuit may be mounted on each electric component control board (a board on which a microcomputer for controlling the electric parts is mounted).

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 560. That is, the power supply board monitors the voltage value of a predetermined voltage (for example, DC30V or DC5V) used in the gaming machine, and when the voltage value decreases to a predetermined value (the power supply voltage is reduced). A power supply monitoring circuit that outputs a power-off signal indicating that). A clear signal (not shown) indicating that the clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 560.

  Further, an input driver circuit 58 for supplying detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a and the count switch 23 to the game control microcomputer 560 is also mounted on the main board 31. The main board also includes an output circuit 59 for driving the solenoid 16 for opening and closing the variable winning ball device 15 and the solenoid 21 for opening and closing the special variable winning ball device 20 that forms a big winning opening in accordance with a command from the game control microcomputer 560. 31. Furthermore, it is output when the jackpot information indicating the occurrence of a jackpot gaming state, the information indicating the occurrence of a gaming state such as a probability change state or a short-time state, or the high-accuracy notification LED 24 is lit, and at the time of start-up (when power failure is restored) In the hall computer or a pachinko gaming machine 1, an information output signal such as information indicating a high probability state (starting high accuracy information) is provided at a position above the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (illustrated) An information output circuit 53 that outputs to an external device such as (omitted) is also mounted on the main board 31.

  In this embodiment, the effect control means (configured by the effect control microcomputer) mounted on the effect control board 80 instructs the effect contents from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77. The control command is received, and display control with the effect display device 9 that variably displays the effect symbol is performed.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit configuration example of the relay board 77, the effect control board 80, the lamp driver board 35, and the audio output board 70. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70 are not equipped with a microcomputer, but may be equipped with a microcomputer. Further, without providing the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70, only the effect control board 80 may be provided for effect control.

  The effect control board 80 has an effect control microcomputer 100 including an effect control CPU 101 and a RAM. The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 80, the effect control CPU 101 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives a capture signal from the main board 31 input via the relay board 77 ( In response to the (effect control INT signal), an effect control command is received via the input driver 102 and the input port 103. Further, the effect control CPU 101 causes the VDP (video display processor) 109 to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  In this embodiment, a VDP 109 that performs display control of the effect display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100 is mounted on the effect control board 80. The VDP 109 has an address space independent of the production control microcomputer 100, and maps a VRAM therein. The VRAM is a buffer memory for expanding image data generated by the VDP. Then, the VDP 109 outputs the image data in the VRAM to the effect display device 9.

  The effect control CPU 101 reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including effect symbols) in advance. The effect control CPU 101 outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP 109. The VDP 109 executes display control based on the data input from the effect control CPU 101.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver 102 on the effect control board 80. The input driver 102 passes the signal input from the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a regulating means.

  As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). The unidirectional circuit 74 is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. FIG. 4 illustrates a diode. A unidirectional circuit is provided for each signal. Furthermore, since the effect control command and the effect control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the output port 571 that is a unidirectional circuit, the signal from the relay board 77 toward the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 560 side). The output port 571 is a part of the I / O port unit 57 shown in FIG. Further, a signal driver circuit that is a unidirectional circuit may be further provided outside the output port 571 (on the relay board 77 side).

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 outputs a signal for driving the LED to the lamp driver board 35 via the output port 105. Further, the production control CPU 101 outputs sound number data to the audio output board 70 via the output port 104.

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver 352 via the input driver 351. The LED driver 352 supplies a drive signal to each LED provided on the frame side such as the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, and the right frame LED 28c. In addition, a drive signal is supplied to the decoration LED 25 and the high-precision notification LED 24 provided on the game board side. When a light emitter other than the LED is provided, a drive circuit (driver) for driving the light emitter is mounted on the lamp driver substrate 35.

  In the voice output board 70, the sound number data is input to the voice synthesis IC 703 via the input driver 702. The voice synthesizing IC 703 generates voice or sound effect according to the sound number data, and outputs it to the amplifier circuit 705. The amplifier circuit 705 outputs an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the speech synthesis IC 703 to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume 706 to the speakers 27R and 27L. The voice data ROM 704 stores control data corresponding to the sound number data. The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

  The effect control CPU 101 is connected to the operation unit 50 via the input / output port 106, and outputs a signal for driving the LED 50 b in the operation unit 50 via the input / output port 106. An operation signal output in response to the player's pressing operation is input from the operation switch 50a.

  Next, the operation of the gaming machine will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the game control microcomputer 560 on the main board 31. When power is supplied to the gaming machine and power supply is started, the input level of the reset terminal to which the reset signal is input becomes high level, and the gaming control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) After executing the security check process, which is a process for confirming whether the contents of the program are valid, the main process after step S1 is started. In the main process, the CPU 56 first performs necessary initial settings.

  In the initial setting process, the CPU 56 first sets the interrupt prohibition (step S1). Next, the interrupt mode is set to interrupt mode 2 (step S2), and a stack pointer designation address is set to the stack pointer (step S3). After initialization of the built-in device (CTC (counter / timer) and PIO (parallel input / output port), which are built-in devices (built-in peripheral circuits)) is performed (step S4), the RAM is accessible (Step S5). In the interrupt mode 2, the address synthesized from the value (1 byte) of the specific register (I register) built in the CPU 56 and the interrupt vector (1 byte: least significant bit 0) output from the built-in device is This mode indicates an interrupt address.

  Next, the CPU 56 checks the state of the output signal (clear signal) of a clear switch (for example, mounted on the power supply board) input via the input port (step S6). When the ON is detected in the confirmation, the CPU 56 executes normal initialization processing (steps S10 to S15).

  If the clear switch is not on, check whether data protection processing of the backup RAM area (for example, power supply stop processing such as addition of parity data) was performed when power supply to the gaming machine was stopped (Step S7). When it is confirmed that such protection processing is not performed, the CPU 56 executes initialization processing. Whether there is backup data in the backup RAM area is confirmed, for example, by the state of the backup flag set in the backup RAM area in the power supply stop process.

  After confirming that the power supply stop process has been performed, the CPU 56 checks the data in the backup RAM area (step S8). In this embodiment, a parity check is performed as a data check. Therefore, in step S8, the calculated checksum is compared with the checksum calculated and stored by the same process in the power supply stop process. When the power supply is stopped after an unexpected power failure or the like, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result (comparison result) is normal (matched). That the check result is not normal means that the data in the backup RAM area is different from the data when the power supply is stopped. In such a case, since the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, an initialization process that is executed when the power is turned on is not performed when the power supply is stopped.

  If the check result is normal, the CPU 56 recovers the game state restoration process (steps S41 to S43) for returning the internal state of the game control means and the control state of the electrical component control means such as the effect control means to the state when the power supply is stopped. Process). Specifically, the start address of the backup setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (step S41), and the contents of the backup setting table are sequentially set in the work area (area in the RAM 55) (step S42). ). The work area is backed up by a backup power source. In the backup setting table, initialization data for an area that may be initialized in the work area is set. As a result of the processing in steps S41 and S42, the saved contents of the work area that should not be initialized remain as they are. The part that should not be initialized is, for example, data indicating the gaming state before the power supply is stopped (special symbol process flag, probability variation flag, time reduction flag, etc.), and the area where the output state of the output port is saved (output port buffer ), A portion in which data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls is set.

  The CPU 56 determines whether or not the probability change flag is set among the data indicating the gaming state before the power supply is stopped. When the probability change flag is set, the CPU 56 turns on the high probability notification LED 24. A high-accuracy notification flag setting process for setting a high-accuracy notification flag is performed (step S42 +).

  Further, the CPU 56 transmits a power failure recovery designation command as an initialization command at the time of power supply recovery (step S43). Then, the process proceeds to step S14. In this embodiment, the CPU 56 also transmits, to the effect control board 80, a total pending storage number designation command in which the value of the total pending storage number counter stored in the backup RAM is set in the process of step S43.

  In this embodiment, it is confirmed whether the data in the backup RAM area is stored using both the backup flag and the check data, but only one of them may be used. That is, either the backup flag or the check data may be used as an opportunity for executing the game state restoration process.

  In the initialization process, the CPU 56 first performs a RAM clear process (step S10). The RAM clear process initializes predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a random number for normal symbol determination) to 0, but an arbitrary value or a predetermined value It may be initialized to. In addition, the entire area of the RAM 55 may not be initialized, and predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a random number for normal symbol determination) may be left as it is. Further, the start address of the initialization setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (step S11), and the contents of the initialization setting table are sequentially set in the work area (step S12).

  By the processing in steps S11 and S12, for example, a normal symbol per-determining random number counter, a special symbol buffer, a total prize ball number storage buffer, a special symbol process flag, and other flags for selectively performing processing according to the control state are initialized. A value is set.

  Further, the CPU 56 initializes a sub board (a board on which a microcomputer other than the main board 31 is mounted) (a command indicating that the game control microcomputer 560 has executed an initialization process). Is also transmitted to the sub-board (step S13). For example, when the effect control microcomputer 100 receives the initialization designation command, the effect display device 9 performs screen display for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been performed, that is, initialization notification.

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a random number circuit setting process for initial setting of the random number circuit 503 (step S14). For example, the CPU 56 performs setting according to the random number circuit setting program to cause the random number circuit 503 to update the value of the random R.

  In step S15, the CPU 56 sets a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 560 so that a timer interrupt is periodically generated every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). That is, a value corresponding to, for example, 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every 2 ms.

  When the execution of the initialization process (steps S10 to S15) is completed, the CPU 56 repeatedly executes the display random number update process (step S17) and the initial value random number update process (step S18) in the main process. When the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process are executed, the interrupt disabled state is set (step S16). Set (step S19). In this embodiment, the display random number is a random number for determining a stop symbol of a normal symbol when not hitting, and the display random number update process is a count value of a counter for generating a display random number. Is a process of updating. The initial value random number update process is a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number. In this embodiment, the initial value random number determines the initial value of the count value of a counter for generating a random number for determining whether or not to win a normal symbol (ordinary random number generation counter for normal symbol determination). It is a random number to do. A game control process for controlling the progress of the game, which will be described later (the game control microcomputer 560 controls game devices such as an effect display device, a variable winning ball device, a ball payout device, etc. provided in the game machine itself. In the process of transmitting a command signal to be controlled by another microcomputer, or a game machine control process), the count value of the random number for determination per normal symbol is one round (the random number for determination per normal symbol is taken). When the value is incremented by the number of values between the minimum value and the maximum value of the possible values), an initial value is set in the counter.

  In this embodiment, the reach effect is executed using an effect symbol (decorative symbol) variably displayed on the effect display device 9. Further, when the display result of the special symbol is a jackpot symbol, the reach effect is always executed. When the display result of the special symbol is not a jackpot symbol, the game control microcomputer 560 determines whether or not to execute the reach effect by lottery using a random number. However, it is the production control microcomputer 100 that actually executes the reach production control.

  When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 executes the timer interrupt process in steps S20 to S34 shown in FIG. In the timer interrupt process, first, a power-off detection process for detecting whether or not a power-off signal is output (whether or not an on-state is turned on) is executed (step S20). The power-off signal is output, for example, when a power supply monitoring circuit mounted on the power supply board detects a decrease in the voltage of the power supplied to the gaming machine. In the power-off detection process, when detecting that the power-off signal has been output, the CPU 56 executes a power supply stop process for saving necessary data in the backup RAM area. Next, detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, and the count switch 23 are input via the input driver circuit 58, and their state is determined (switch processing: step S21). ).

  Next, the CPU 56 includes a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, a normal symbol display 10, a first special symbol hold storage display 18a, a second special symbol hold storage display 18b, and a normal symbol. A display control process for controlling the display of the on-hold storage display 41 and the high-accuracy notification LED 24 is executed (step S22). About the 1st special symbol display 8a, the 2nd special symbol display 8b, and the normal symbol display 10, a drive signal is output with respect to each display according to the content of the output buffer set by step S32, S33. Control is executed, and for the high-accuracy notification LED 24, control is performed to turn on the high-accuracy notification LED 24 when the high-accuracy notification flag is set.

  Also, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each random number for determination such as a random number for determination per ordinary symbol used for game control is performed (determination random number update process: step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process of updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number and the display random number (initial value random number update process, display random number update process: steps S24 and S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, corresponding processing is executed according to a special symbol process flag for controlling the first special symbol indicator 8a, the second special symbol indicator 8b, and the special winning award in a predetermined order. The CPU 56 updates the value of the special symbol process flag according to the gaming state.

  Next, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the CPU 56 executes a corresponding process according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 in a predetermined order. The CPU 56 updates the value of the normal symbol process flag according to the gaming state.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a process of sending an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control command control process: step S28).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs an information output process for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information, startup accuracy information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S29). Note that the startup high-accuracy information is output from the information output circuit 53 to a call lamp (not shown) provided above the pachinko gaming machine 1 in response to the high-accuracy notification flag being set.

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a and the count switch 23 (step S30). Specifically, the payout control micro mounted on the payout control board 37 in response to the winning detection based on any one of the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a and the count switch 23 being turned on. A payout control command (prize ball number signal) indicating the number of prize balls is output to the computer. The payout control microcomputer drives the ball payout device 97 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls.

  In this embodiment, a RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. However, the CPU 56 relates to solenoid on / off in the RAM area corresponding to the output state of the output port. Is output to the output port (step S31: output process).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol display control process for setting special symbol display control data for effect display of special symbols in the output buffer for setting the special symbol display control data according to the value of the special symbol process flag ( Step S32). For example, if the variation speed is 1 frame / 0.2 seconds until the end flag is set when the start flag set in the special symbol process is set, the CPU 56, for example, every 0.2 seconds passes. Then, the value of the display control data set in the output buffer is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 56 outputs a drive signal in step S22 in accordance with the display control data set in the output buffer, whereby the first special symbol display unit 8a and the second special symbol display unit 8b Variable display of the second special symbol is executed.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a normal symbol display control process for setting normal symbol display control data for effect display of the normal symbol in an output buffer for setting the normal symbol display control data according to the value of the normal symbol process flag ( Step S33). For example, when the start flag related to the variation of the normal symbol is set, the CPU 56 switches the display state (“◯” and “×”) for the variation rate of the normal symbol every 0.2 seconds until the end flag is set. With such a speed, the value of the display control data set in the output buffer (for example, 1 indicating “◯” and 0 indicating “x”) is switched every 0.2 seconds. Further, the CPU 56 outputs a normal signal on the normal symbol display 10 by outputting a drive signal in step S22 according to the display control data set in the output buffer.

  Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (step S34), and the process is terminated.

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 2 ms. The game control process corresponds to the processes in steps S21 to S33 (excluding step S29) in the timer interrupt process. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the timer interrupt process. However, in the timer interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred is set, and the game control process is performed in the main process. It may be executed.

  When the shifted symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the effect display device 9, the variable display state of the effect symbol is started after the variable display of the effect symbol is started. There may be a case where a predetermined combination of effect symbols that does not reach reach is stopped and displayed without reaching the reach state. Such a variable display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a variable display mode of “non-reach” (also referred to as “normally shift”) in a case where the variable display result is a loss symbol.

  When the shifted symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the effect display device 9, the variable display state of the effect symbol is started after the variable display of the effect symbol is started. After reaching the reach state, a reach effect is executed, and a combination of predetermined effect symbols that do not eventually become a jackpot symbol may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display result of the effect design is referred to as a variable display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach out”) when the variable display result is “out of”.

  In this embodiment, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the reach effect is executed after the variable display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state. Finally, the effect symbols are all stopped and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9.

  When a predetermined symbol (predetermined seg pattern symbol corresponding to the type of small hit) is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 In FIG. 5, after the effect symbol is displayed in the same manner as in the case where the effect symbol variable display mode is “probability big hit B”, which will be described later, a predetermined small hit effect symbol (the same effect symbol as the probability change big hit B symbol. (Chance symbols such as “355” and “787”) may be stopped and displayed. The display effect on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the stop display of a predetermined symbol (seg pattern symbol) which is a small hit symbol on the first special symbol indicator 8a or the second special symbol indicator 8b is “small hit”. This is referred to as a variable display mode.

  Here, the small win is a short winning opening time of the big winning opening as compared with the probability variation big hit A described later (in this embodiment, the opening for 0.1 seconds is five times). When the small hit game ends, the game state does not change and the game state before the small hit is maintained. That is, there is no transition from the probability variation state to the normal state or from the normal state to the certain variation state. In addition, the probability variation big hit B is a big hit as compared to the probability variation big hit A, in which the opening time of the big prize opening is short (in this embodiment, 0.1 seconds is opened five times), and the gaming state after the big hit game (However, the gaming state after the big hit game will not be in a short-time state, that is, the second start condition, which is the variable display execution condition, is difficult to be met. Since the establishment status is the same as the normal state, it looks the same as the normal state). That is, in this embodiment, the probability variation big hit B and the small hit are the same in the opening pattern of the big winning opening. By controlling in such a manner, if the winning opening is opened five times for 0.1 seconds, it is not possible to identify whether the probability change big hit B that shifts to the probability variation state or the small hit that does not shift to the probability variation state. Therefore, the player can be expected to have a high probability state (probability variation state), and the interest of the game can be improved.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern of the effect symbol prepared in advance. As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, non-reach PA1-0 to non-reach as a variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out of” and the variable display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach”. A variation pattern of PA1-4 is prepared. In addition, as a variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “out of” and the variable display mode of the production symbol is “reach”, normal PA2-1 (normal reach A) to normal PA2-2 (normal reach B), normal Fluctuation patterns of PB2-1 to normal PB2-2 (normal reach C), special PA3-1 (normal reach or special reach), and super PB3-1 to super PB3-3 are prepared. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, about the fluctuation pattern of non-reach PA1-4 which is used when not reaching and has a pseudo-continuous effect, re-change is performed twice. Of the variation patterns used for reaching and accompanied by pseudo-rendition, when normal PB2-1 is used, re-variation is performed twice. Of the fluctuation patterns used for reaching and accompanied by pseudo-continuous effects, when normal PB2-2 is used, re-variation is performed three times. Furthermore, the re-variation is performed three times also when the special PA 3-1 is used among the variation patterns that are used for reaching and have a pseudo-continuous effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, normal PA2-3 (normal reach A) to normal PA2-4 are used as variation patterns corresponding to the case where the variable symbol display result of the special symbol is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol. (Normal reach B), normal PB2-3 to normal PB2-4 (normal reach C), special PA3-2 (normal reach or special reach), super PB3-4 to super PB3-6, special PG1-1 to special PG1-3, Variation patterns of special PG2-1 (normal reach A) to special PG2-2 (normal reach B) are prepared. In FIG. 7, the fluctuation patterns of special PG1-1 to special PG1-3 and special PG2-1 to special PG2-2 are fluctuation patterns used when the probability variation big hit B or small hit is given. In the case of B or small hit, the variation pattern of the special PG 2-1 including the reach effect of the normal reach A and the special PG 2-2 including the reach effect of the normal reach B may be determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the re-variation is performed twice when the normal PB2-3 is used among the variation patterns that are used when the probability variation big hit B or small hit is not used and accompanied by the effect of the pseudo-continuous. Of the fluctuation patterns used for reaching and accompanied by pseudo-rendition, when normal PB2-4 is used, re-variation is performed three times. Furthermore, the re-variation is performed three times also when the special PA 3-2 is used among the variation patterns that are used in the case of reach and have a pseudo-continuous effect. Further, the fluctuation pattern of the special PG1-3 and the special PG2-2, which is used in the case of the probable big hit B or the small hit and accompanied with the effect of the pseudo-ream, is re-varied twice.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the variation time is fixedly determined according to the type of variation pattern (for example, when there is no non-reach shortening, it is fixed at 6.75 seconds). In the case of Super Reach A with pseudo-ream, the fluctuation time is fixed at 26.75 seconds, and in the case of Super Reach A without pseudo-ream, the fluctuation time is fixed at 22.75 seconds). However, for example, even in the case of the same type of super reach, the variation time may be varied depending on the total number of pending storage. For example, even when the same type of super reach is involved, the variation time may be shortened as the total number of pending storage increases. In addition, for example, even in the case of the same type of super reach, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed, the variation time may be varied according to the first reserved memory number. When variable display of two special symbols is performed, the variation time may be varied according to the second reserved memory number. In this case, a separate determination table is prepared for each value of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number (for example, the variation pattern type determination table for the reserved memory numbers 0 to 2 and the reserved memory numbers 3 and 4). For example, a determination table may be selected according to the value of the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number, and the change time may be varied.

  In this embodiment, the non-reach PA1-3 includes the same fluctuation pattern as the special PG1-2 and the non-reach PA1-4 includes the same fluctuation pattern as the special PG1-3. Since there may be a variation effect mode similar to that at the time of the small hit, it is difficult for the player to recognize that the probable big hit B or the small hit has occurred.

  As described above, in this embodiment, two variation patterns (special PG1-2) among a plurality of variation patterns (special PG1-1 to 2-1 and 2-1 to 2) selected at the time of winning the probability variation big hit B or small hit. , 1-3) and any one of a plurality of variation patterns selected at the time of detachment (non-reach PA1) is a series of performance modes consisting of performance modes executed in the probability variation big hit B gaming state / small hit gaming state Since it is the same as the production mode of (3, 4), it is difficult to specify which production mode is based on the variation pattern of non-reach PA1-3, 4 or special PG1-2, 3 be able to. In other words, the variation pattern based on the non-reach PA1-3, 4 and the special PG1-2, 3 is a variation pattern that is selected in any of the probability variation big hit B, the small hit, and the deviation, so the probability variation big hit B or Even when a small hit occurs, it is difficult for the player to realize that a probable big hit B or a small hit has occurred, and as a result, the probable big hit B is less than that when only the probable big hit B or the small hit is generated. It is possible to make it more difficult for the player to realize that the gaming state has shifted to the probabilistic state as it occurs.

  In this embodiment, only the non-reach PA1-3 and the special PG1-2, the non-reach PA1-4 and the special PG1-3 have the same variation effect pattern. However, in other variation patterns, The same variation pattern may be set at the time of loss and at the time of probability variation big hit B or small hit.

  Further, in this embodiment, at the time of loss, a variation pattern having the same effect mode as one of a plurality of change patterns selected at the time of probability variation big hit B or small hit is selected. It is not necessary to select the variation pattern. That is, even when the variation pattern having the same effect mode as the variation pattern selected at the probability variation big hit B or small hit is not selected at the time of losing, the special PG 1-1 to 2-1 and 2-1 to 2 are changed to the probability variation big hit B or small. By using the variation pattern selected at the time of hitting, when any one of the variation patterns of the special PGs 1-1 to 2-1 and 2-1 to 2 is selected, at least the player specifies the occurrence of the probability variation big hit B. Since it becomes difficult, it is possible to prevent the player from realizing that the probability change big hit B occurs and the subsequent game state shifts to the probability change state.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing each random number. Each random number is used as follows.
(1) Random 1 (MR1): Determine the type of jackpot (probable variation jackpot A and probability variation jackpot B described later) (for jackpot type determination)
(2) Random 2 (MR2): The type (type) of the variation pattern is determined (for variation pattern type determination)
(3) Random 3 (MR3): A variation pattern (variation time) is determined (for variation pattern determination)
(4) Random 4 (MR4): Determines whether or not to generate a hit based on a normal symbol (for normal symbol hit determination)
(5) Random 5 (MR5): Determine the initial value of random 4 (for determining the initial value of random 4)
(6) Random 6 (MR6): Determines a stop symbol for a special symbol (for determining a stop symbol)

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern is first determined using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and the variation pattern determined using the variation pattern determination random number (random 3). The variation pattern included in the type is determined. Thus, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is determined by a two-stage lottery process.

  The variation pattern type is a group of a plurality of variation patterns according to the characteristics of the variation mode. For example, a plurality of variation patterns are grouped by reach type, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with various normal reach, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach A, and a variation pattern with super reach B. It may be divided into the variation pattern types to be included. Further, for example, a plurality of variation patterns are grouped by the number of re-variations of pseudo-continuations, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern without pseudo-reams, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of less than two re-variations, You may divide into the variation pattern classification containing the variation pattern of 3 times of re-variation. Further, for example, a plurality of variation patterns may be grouped according to the presence / absence of a specific effect such as a pseudo ream or a slip effect.

  In this embodiment, in the case of a probable big hit A, normal CA3-1 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with only various normal reach, and a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with a normal reach C and a pseudo-ream. Are classified into a normal CA 3-2 and a super CA 3-3 which is a variation pattern type with normal reach, special reach and super reach. In the case of the probable big hit B, a special CA4-1 that is a variation pattern type that does not include a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations and a special CA4-2 that is a variation pattern type that includes a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations. It is classified. Also, in the case of small hits, as in the case of the probability variation big hit B, special CA4-1 that is a variation pattern type that does not include a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations, and a variation pattern type that includes a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations. Are classified into special CA4-2. Further, in the case of “out of”, a non-reach CA 2-1 that is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with no reach and a specific effect, and a variation pattern type that includes a change pattern with a specific effect without a reach. Non-reach CA2-2, non-reach CA2-3 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of a shortened variation that does not involve reach and specific effects, and normal which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern only with various normal reach CA2-4, normal CA2-5 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with normal reach C and three re-variation pseudo-continuations, and a variation pattern including a variation pattern with normal reach C and two re-variation pseudo-continuations Normal CA2-6, normal reach, special reach and supermarket Super CA2-7 a variation pattern type with super reach non Ji C, and is the type divided into super CA2-8 and a variation pattern type with all the super reach.

  In step S23 in the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 6, the game control microcomputer 560 determines (1) a big hit type determination random number, (4) a normal symbol per determination random number, and (6) a hit type. A counter for generating a random number for determination is incremented (added by 1). That is, they are determination random numbers, and other random numbers are display random numbers (random 2, random 3) or initial value random numbers (random 5). In addition, in order to improve a game effect, you may use random numbers other than said random number. In this embodiment, a random number generated by hardware built in the game control microcomputer 560 (or hardware external to the game control microcomputer 560) is used as the jackpot determination random number.

  FIG. 9A is an explanatory diagram showing a big hit determination table 130a. The jackpot determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 54 and is a table in which a jackpot determination value to be compared with the random R is set. The jackpot determination table includes a normal-time jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a gaming state that is not a probability change state) and a probability change jackpot determination table used in a probability change state. Each numerical value described in the left column of FIG. 9A is set in the normal jackpot determination table, and each numerical value described in the right column of FIG. Is set. The numerical values described in FIG. 9A are jackpot determination values.

  FIGS. 9B and 9C are explanatory diagrams showing the small hit determination tables 130b and 130c. The small hit determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 54 and is a table in which a small hit determination value to be compared with the random R is set. The small hit determination table includes a small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b used when variable display of the first special symbol and a small hit determination used when variable display of the second special symbol is performed. There is a table (for the second special symbol) 130c. Each value described in FIG. 9B is set in the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b, and the small hit determination table (for the second special symbol) 130c is set in FIG. ) Are set. Moreover, the numerical values described in FIGS. 9B and 9C are the small hit determination values.

  The CPU 56 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 503 at a predetermined time and sets the extracted value as the value of the big hit determination random number (random R). The big hit determination random number is shown in FIG. If it matches any of the big hit determination values, the special symbol is decided to be a big hit (probability variation big hit A and probability variation big hit B described later). Further, when the big hit determination random number value matches one of the small hit determination values shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, it is determined to make a small hit for the special symbol. Note that “probability” shown in FIG. 9A indicates the probability (ratio) of a big hit. Further, the “probability” shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C indicates the probability (ratio) of making a small hit. Further, deciding whether or not to win a jackpot means deciding whether or not to shift to the jackpot gaming state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a jackpot symbol. Further, determining whether or not to make a small hit means determining whether or not to shift to the small hit gaming state, but stopping in the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. It also means determining whether or not the symbol is to be a small hit symbol.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, when the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b is used, the small hit is determined at a ratio of 1/23. On the other hand, when the small hit determination table (second special symbol) 130c is used, a case where the small hit is determined at a ratio of 1/40 will be described. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the first special symbol variable display is executed by starting the first start winning port 13 and the second special symbol variable display is performed, the second special symbol is variable. Compared to the case where the display is executed, the ratio determined as “small hit” is high.

  That is, the variable display of the first special symbol display 8a is executed when the gaming state is the normal state or the probability variation state (high probability low base state), and the gaming state is the probability variation state (high In order to prevent the player from knowing that the player has made a transition to the (probably low base state), the occurrence probability of the small hit is increased, whereas the variable display of the second special symbol display 8b is executed. When the gaming state is a probable change / short-time state (highly accurate high base state), in this case, the player cannot realize that the gaming state has shifted to the probable state (highly accurate low base state) due to the probable big hit B Since there is no need to do so, the probability of occurrence of a small hit is suppressed.

  In this embodiment, the small hit symbol is derived as a variable display result of the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b, but the second special symbol display 8b is variable. The small hit symbol may not be derived as the display result.

  In addition, when the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b is used, the ratio (1/23) determined as the small hit is the ratio (1/443 (low probability) determined as the probability big hit B), 1 / 43 (during high accuracy)), the small hit occurs more frequently than the positive probability big hit B.

  FIG. 9D is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot type determination table 131 a stored in the ROM 54. The big hit type determination table 131a is stored on the basis of the fact that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 13 (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) and the game ball is placed in the second start winning opening 14. It is a jackpot type determination table in the case of determining the jackpot type using the hold storage based on winning (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed). That is, the same jackpot type determination table 131a is used in both the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 8a and the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display 8b. The jackpot type is determined.

  The jackpot type determination table 131a determines that the jackpot type is “probable big hit A” or “probable change” based on a random number (random 1) for jackpot type determination when it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit symbol. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine any one of “big hit B”. In this embodiment, 28 judgment values are assigned to “probability variation big hit A” (determined as 28 in 40% as probability variation big hit A), and 12 for “probability big hit B”. Is assigned (determined as a probable big hit B at a ratio of 12/40). Therefore, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol, the probability of “probability variation big hit B” is lower than the probability of “probability variation big hit A”. When the variable display of the first special symbol is executed after winning the start at the mouth 13 and when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed after winning the start at the second start winning port 14, The ratio determined as “B” is the same. The first special symbol variable display is executed when the first start winning port 13 is started, and the second special symbol variable display is executed when the second start winning port 14 is started. The ratio determined as “probability big hit B” may be made different.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 (d), the five-round probability variation big hit B as the second specific gaming state is compared with the probability variation big hit B, and one big winning per win during the big hit The case of determining the probability variation jackpot A as the first specific gaming state in which the opening time of the mouth is extended will be described, but the gaming value to be given is not limited to the number of rounds as shown in this embodiment. For example, the first specific gaming state (probability variation jackpot A) having a larger number of rounds than the second specific gaming state (probability variation jackpot B) may be determined. Further, for example, the first specific game state in which the allowable amount of the winning number (count number) of game balls to the big winning opening per round is increased as the game value as compared with the second specific game state is determined. It may be. Also, for example, even in the case of the same big round of big rounds, the second specific gaming state where the big winning opening is opened once per round and the first specific gaming state where the big winning opening is opened multiple times per round. It may be prepared to increase the gaming value of the first specific gaming state by substantially increasing the number of times the special winning opening is opened. In this case, for example, in the case of either the first specific gaming state or the second specific gaming state, when the big prize opening is opened five times (in this case, in the case of the second specific gaming state, all five rounds In the case of the first specified gaming state, there will be an undigested round), and an effect in a manner that encourages whether or not the big hit will continue (so-called rank-up bonus effect) You may make it perform. And in the case of the 2nd specific game state, since all 5 rounds are ended internally, the big hit game is ended, and in the case of the 1st specific game state, an undigested round remains internally. For this reason, the jackpot game may continue (the effect that the bonus winning opening is additionally started with a bonus after finishing the big hit of the fifth round).

  The “probability big hit A” is a big hit that is controlled to the big round gaming state of 15 rounds, and shifts to the probable change state and the time-short state (probability / time-short state, high-precision high-base state) after the big hit gaming state ends. After the big hit, the probability changing state continues until the variable display ends 75 times (until the number of start times reaches 75). However, in the short-time state, after the big hit, the variable display is ended 72 times (when the number of start times is 72) and the low-base state is entered, and the variable display is ended 75 times only in the high probability state. It is continued until it starts (until the number of start reaches 75 times). Therefore, in this embodiment, after the big hit, from the end of the 72nd variable display to the end of the 75th variable display, only the high probability state is set, and the high base state is not set (highly accurate low Base state).

  “Probable big hit B” means that the opening time of the big prize opening per round is controlled to five rounds of big hit gaming state, which is shorter than “probable big hit A”, and after the big hit gaming state ends, it shifts only to the promiscuous state It ’s a big hit. After the big hit is over, the probability variation state continues until the variable display is finished a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 75 times). However, after the big hit, the transition to the low base state is not performed (the low base state is maintained in the low base state) without shifting to the time reduction state, and only the high probability state is continued until the variable display is terminated 75 times. . Therefore, in this embodiment, after the probability variation big hit B is finished, only the high probability state is set until the 75th variable display is finished, and the high base state is not shifted (high probability low base state).

  In other words, in "Probability variation jackpot A", the opening time of the big winning opening per round is as long as 29 seconds, whereas in "Probability variation big hit B", the opening time of the big winning opening per round is 0.1 seconds. It is extremely short (open at high speed), and it is almost impossible to expect a game ball to win a big prize during a big hit game. In this embodiment, after the jackpot gaming state of the probability variation big hit B is finished, the transition is made to the probability variation state, but not the high base state.

  In this embodiment, even when “small hit” is reached, the big winning opening is opened five times for 0.1 seconds, and the same control as the big hit gaming state by “probability big hit B” is performed. . In the case of “small hit”, the gaming state does not change after the five high-speed opening of the big prize opening ends, and the gaming state before “small hit” is maintained. By doing so, even if the player can confirm the opening of the big prize opening, it is difficult to specify whether the opening is based on “probable big hit B” or “small hit”, and the gaming state thereafter Since it becomes impossible to specify whether the player has changed to the probability change state or the normal state, the probability change big hit B is generated so that the player does not know, and the game state is changed to the probability change state after the big hit ends. That is, the probability variation state can be hidden. On the contrary, by generating a small hit in which the same effect control as the probability variation big hit B is performed in the low probability state, the gaming state does not shift to the probability changed state after the small hit is ended, so the low probability state is changed. Can be hidden.

  In this embodiment, the probability variation state that shifts after the occurrence of the probability variation big hit ends with a variation of 75, which is the predetermined number of variations, and shifts to the low probability state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The probability variation state may be continued until the next big hit occurs.

  Further, when the probability variation big hit B occurs in the probability variation state, it is possible to shift not to the highly accurate and low base state but to the highly accurate and high base state in which the time reduction control is performed.

  The big hit type determination table 131a is a numerical value to be compared with a random 1 value, and a determination value (big hit type determination value) corresponding to each of “probability variation big hit A” and “probability variation big hit B” is set. . When the value of random 1 matches any of the jackpot type determination values, the CPU 56 determines the jackpot type as a type corresponding to the matched jackpot type determination value.

  FIG. 10A is an explanatory diagram showing a probability variation big hit A variation pattern type determination table 132a. The probability variation jackpot A variation pattern type determination table 132a, when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol, the variation pattern type is determined according to the determination result of the jackpot type, the random number for variation pattern type determination It is a table that is referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types based on (Random 2).

  The probability variation big hit A variation pattern type determination table 132a is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 2) value for variation pattern type determination, and includes normal CA3-1 to normal CA3-2, super A determination value corresponding to any one of the CA3-3 variation pattern types is set.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the number of determination values is set so that the number of determination values of super CA3-3 is larger than that of normal CA3-1 to normal CA3-2. When the probability change big hit A is set, the super reach or the special reach is determined as a variation pattern.

  FIG. 10B is an explanatory diagram showing a probability variation big hit B / small hit variation pattern type determination table 132b. The variation pattern type determination table 132b for the probability variation big hit B / small hit determines the variation pattern type when the probability variation big hit B and the small hit are determined in the determination of the hit type based on the random R and random 1, the variation pattern type determination. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 2) for use. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), when it is determined that the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is, the fluctuation pattern without the pseudo-continuous effect is used as the fluctuation pattern type. A case is shown in which one of the special CA 4-1 including and the special CA 4-2 including a variation pattern accompanied by a pseudo-continuous effect is determined.

  In addition, in the probability variation big hit B, the determination values of 1 to 51 are assigned to the special CA4-1 including the variation pattern not accompanied by the pseudo-continuous production, whereas the variation pattern accompanied with the pseudo-continuous production is included. When the determination value of 52 to 251 is assigned to the special CA 4-2 and it is determined to be the probability variation big hit B, the special PG 2-2 including the normal reach B as the reach effect as the variation pattern, etc. Many variation patterns accompanying the production of the pseudo-ream are determined.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern of the special PG 2-2 including the reach effect of the normal reach B, the reach effect is performed, and after the effect that the reach is off is performed, the re-variation is performed twice and the stop pattern is performed. As shown below, a combination of effect symbols (chance eye symbol) corresponding to probability variation big hit B and small hit which will be described later is displayed.

  In addition, regarding the small hit, depending on whether the gaming state at the time when it is determined to be the small hit is a high probability state or a low probability state, that is, whether or not the probability variation flag is set. The assignment of judgment values is different.

  Specifically, in the small hit at the time of high accuracy, the determination value of 1 to 51 is assigned to the special CA 4-1 including the variation pattern not accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect, like the probability variation big hit B. On the other hand, when the determination value of 52 to 251 is assigned to the special CA4-2 including the variation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-rendition production, and it is determined to be a small hit at the high accuracy time, Many variation patterns with pseudo-continuous effects are determined as variation patterns.

  On the other hand, in the small hit at low probability, contrary to the probability big hit B, the judgment value of 1 to 201 is assigned to the special CA4-1 including the fluctuation pattern not accompanied by the pseudo-rendition. When the determination value of 202 to 251 is assigned to the special CA4-2 including the variation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect, and it is determined to be a small hit at the low probability, the variation pattern As a reach effect, a lot of variation patterns accompanied by a slide effect such as special PG2-1 including normal reach A are determined.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern of the special PG 2-1 including the reach effect of the normal reach A, the reach effect is performed, and after the effect that the reach is lost, the slip variation is performed, which will be described later as a stop symbol. The combination of effect symbols (chance eye symbol) corresponding to the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is displayed.

  Thus, in this embodiment, in the case of the probability variation big hit B that shifts to the high-accuracy state, many variation patterns with the reach effect of the normal reach B and many variation patterns with the effect of the pseudo-ream are determined. In the case of small hits that do not shift to, fluctuations with normal reach A or streak effect are determined by determining many fluctuation patterns with normal reach A reach effect and slip change patterns without pseudo ream effect. When the gaming state of probability variation big hit B (the same as the gaming state of small hit) is implemented after the pattern is executed, it is highly likely that the probability variation big hit B that has shifted to the high probability state is generated for the player. So you can give a sense of expectation.

  In other words, when the probability variation big hit B or small hit occurs when the latent condition is satisfied, the variation pattern of the special PG 2-1 including the reach effect of the normal reach A as the variation pattern is shifted to the high probability (probability variation) game state. The variation pattern of the special PG2-2, which is determined more in the case of the small hit that does not shift to the high probability (probability variation) state than the probability variation large hit B to be performed, and the variation pattern of the special PG2-2 including the reach effect of the normal reach B is highly accurate in the gaming state. It is determined more at the time of probability variation big hit B which shifts to the high probability (probability variation) state than at the small hit which does not shift to the (probability variation) state.

  In this embodiment, the type of variation pattern to be determined is different between the probability variation big hit B that shifts to the high accuracy state and the small hit that does not shift to the high accuracy state. Is not limited to this, and the variation pattern is selected and determined regardless of whether the probability variation big hit B that shifts to the high accuracy state or the small hit that does not shift to the high accuracy state. Also good.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the case of the small hit in the high-accuracy state, as in the case of the probability variation big hit B, a large number of variation patterns with pseudo-continuous effects are determined. When the small hit gaming state (the same as the gaming state of the probability variation big hit B) is performed after the execution of the game, the possibility that the subsequent gaming state is in the high probability state as with the probability variation big hit B Can give you a sense of high expectations

  In this embodiment, in the case of the small hit in the high-accuracy state, as in the case of the probability variation big hit B, many fluctuation patterns with the reach effect of normal reach B and fluctuation patterns with the effect of the pseudo-ream are determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even in the case of a small hit in the high-accuracy state, as in the case of the small hit in the low-accuracy state, the slip fluctuation without a pseudo-continuous effect is provided. Many special CA4-1, which are pattern types, may be determined.

  FIGS. 11A and 11B are explanatory diagrams showing the deviation variation pattern type determination tables A to B. FIG. The variation pattern type determination tables A to B for detachment include a plurality of types of variation pattern types based on a random number (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type when it is determined that the variable display result is a detachable symbol. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine any of the above.

  Each of the deviation variation pattern type determination tables A and B includes a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 2) value for variation pattern type determination, which is non-reach CA2-1 to non-reach CA2-. 3, a determination value corresponding to any one of the variation pattern types of normal CA2-4 to normal CA2-6 and super CA2-8 is set.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A to 11B, in this embodiment, in the case of being out of order, if the value of the random number (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type is 230 to 251, the game It can be seen that variable display with at least super reach (any one of super reach A, super reach B, or super reach C) is executed regardless of the state or the total number of pending storage.

  In the normal deviation variation pattern type determination table A135a shown in FIG. 11A, the non-reach PA1-0 (variation time 1.25 seconds) that is a variation pattern of ultrashort variation, or the variation pattern of shortening variation. Non-reach CA2-3 including non-reach PA1-2 (variation time 2.5 seconds) and normal CA2-6 including a variation pattern accompanied by two pseudo-continuations with shorter variation times than three pseudo-continuations In contrast, in the shortening variation pattern type determination table B135b for shortening, determination values of 100 to 199 are assigned to the non-reach CA2-3, and the pseudo-continuation 3 A determination value is assigned to normal CA 2-6 including a fluctuation pattern with two pseudo-rendations instead of normal CA 2-5 including a fluctuation pattern with two presentations. As a result, non-reach PA1-0 (variation time 1.25 seconds) and non-reach PA1-2 (variation time 2.5 seconds) having a short fluctuation time are determined. When the time is shortened from the normal time, the number of fluctuations performed per unit time increases.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, the case where the common use variation pattern type determination table B135b is used for the case where the gaming state is the time-saving state and the case where the total pending storage number is 3 or more is shown. A separate variation pattern type determination table for detachment may be used for the case of the state and the case where the total number of pending storages is 3 or more. Furthermore, a plurality of deviation variation pattern determination tables (tables with different ratios of determination values) corresponding to the total number of pending storages may be used as the variation pattern type determination table for loss of time.

  In this embodiment, the deviation variation pattern type determination table A135a used when the total number of pending storages is less than 3 and the deviation variation pattern type determination table B135b used when the total number of pending storages is three or more. Although an example using a type table is shown, it is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, a separate deviation variation pattern type determination table may be provided for each value of the total pending storage number (that is, for the total pending storage number 0, for the total pending storage number 1, for the total pending storage number 2) , The deviation variation pattern type determination table for the total pending storage number 3, for the total pending storage number 4... May be used separately). Further, for example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table corresponding to a combination of a plurality of other values stored in the total number of pending storages may be used. For example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table for the total pending storage number 0 to 2, for the total pending storage number 3, for the total pending storage number 4, and so on may be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, a case is shown in which a plurality of deviation variation pattern type determination tables are provided according to the total number of pending storages. However, a deviation variation pattern type determination table according to the first and second pending storage numbers. A plurality of may be provided. For example, when variable display of the first special symbol is performed, a deviation variation pattern type determination table prepared separately for each value of the first reserved memory number may be used (that is, the first reserved memory number). The deviation variation pattern type determination table for 0, for the first reserved memory number, for the first reserved memory number for 2, for the first reserved memory number for three, for the first reserved memory number for four, etc. Each may be used separately). Further, for example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table corresponding to a combination of a plurality of other values of the first reserved storage number may be used. For example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table for the first reserved memory number 0 to 2, the first reserved memory number 3, the first reserved memory number 4, and so on may be used. Even in this case, when the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are large (for example, 3 or more), it may be configured such that a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with a short variation time is easily selected. .

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, a case where a common outlier variation pattern type determination table is used regardless of the current gaming state is shown, but whether the current gaming state is a probable variation state or not is shortened. Depending on whether the state is the normal state or the normal state, a big hit variation pattern type determination table or a deviation variation pattern type determination table prepared separately may be used. In this embodiment, when the total number of pending storages is 3 or more, the variation pattern of shortening variation is determined by selecting the variation pattern type determination table for shortening shown in FIG. 11B. However, the total number of pending storages (the first number of pending storages or the number of second pending storages may be used) when the variation pattern of the shortening variation can be selected according to the current gaming state is shown. The threshold value may be different. For example, when the gaming state is the normal state, when the total number of reserved memory is 3 (or when the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number is 2, for example), The variation pattern type determination table for loss is selected so that the variation pattern of the shortened variation may be determined. When the gaming state is a short-time state or a probable variation state, the total number of pending storages is smaller 1 or 2 (Or, for example, even when the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are smaller 0 or 1), the variation pattern type of shortening variation is selected by selecting the shortening variation pattern type determination table. It may be determined.

The hit variation pattern determination tables 137a to 137b determine the variation pattern according to the determination result of the big hit type or the fluctuation pattern type when the variable display result is determined to be “big hit” or “small hit”. This is a table that is referred to in order to determine a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 3). Each of the variation pattern determination tables 137a to 137b is selected as a usage table according to the determination result of the variation pattern type. That is, the hit variation pattern determination table 137a is selected as the use table in accordance with the determination result that the variation pattern type is any one of normal CA3-1 to normal CA3-2 and super CA3-3, and the variation pattern type is specially selected. The hit variation pattern determination table 137b is selected as a use table in accordance with the determination result indicating that either CA4-1 or special CA4-2 is selected. Each hit variation pattern determination table 137a to 137b is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the random number (random 3) for variation pattern determination according to the variation pattern type, and the variable display result of the effect symbol is Data (determination value) corresponding to any of a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the case of “big hit” or “small hit” is included.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12A, the fluctuation pattern type includes normal CA3-1, which is a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern with only various normal reach, and fluctuations including a fluctuation pattern with normal reach C and a pseudo-ream. A case is shown in which the pattern type is classified into a normal CA 3-2 that is a pattern type and a super CA 3-3 that is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach (which may be accompanied by a pseudo-ream). ing. In the example shown in FIG. 12B, as the variation pattern type, the variation includes a special CA4-1 that is a variation pattern type that does not include a variation pattern with a pseudo-continuous effect, and a variation pattern that includes a pseudo-continuous effect. A case where the pattern is classified into special CA4-2, which is a pattern type, is shown. In FIG. 12B, the variation pattern type may be divided according to the presence / absence of a reach effect or the presence / absence of a specific effect such as a slip effect, instead of being classified according to the presence / absence of a pseudo-continuous effect. In this case, for example, the special CA 4-1 includes a special PG 1-1, a special PG 1-2, and a special PG 2-1, which are fluctuation patterns not accompanied by a pseudo-continuous production that is a specific production. What is necessary is just to comprise so that special PG1-3 and special PG2-2 with the effect of the pseudo | simulation series used as a specific effect may be included.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a deviation variation pattern determination table 138 a stored in the ROM 54. The deviation variation pattern determination table 138a is based on the random number (random 3) for variation pattern determination according to the determination result of the variation pattern type when it is determined that the variable display result is “out of range”. It is a table referred to in order to determine any one of a plurality of types of variation patterns. The outlier variation pattern determination table 138a is selected as a usage table according to the determination result of the variation pattern type.

  In the deviation variation pattern determination table 138a of this embodiment, the super CA 2-7 has no determination value assigned to the variation pattern of the super PB 3-3 corresponding to the super reach C, whereas the super CA 2-8. Includes assignment of determination values to the variation pattern of the super PB 3-3 corresponding to the super reach C.

(Each corresponding to a variation pattern XX). That is, when a unique number is assigned to each of the usable variation patterns shown in FIG. 7, there is a variation pattern command corresponding to each variation pattern specified by the number. “(H)” indicates a hexadecimal number. The effect control command for designating the variation pattern is also a command for designating the start of variation. Therefore, when receiving the command 80XX (H), the effect control microcomputer 100 controls the effect display device 9 to start variable display of effect symbols.

  Commands 8C01 (H) to 8C08 (H) are effect control commands for notifying whether or not to make a big hit, whether to make a big hit, and a big hit type or a small hit type. The effect control microcomputer 100 determines the display result of the effect symbols in response to the reception of the commands 8C01 (H) to 8C08 (H), so the commands 8C01 (H) to 8C08 (H) are referred to as display result designation commands.

That is, by notifying the unique segment number assigned to each of the symbols (segment patterns) that can be displayed shown in FIG. 16 to be described later, the segment pattern specified by the segment pattern number is displayed. Will be displayed.

  That is, the special symbol designating command is output from the game control microcomputer 560 to the effect control microcomputer 100 when the display result is determined in the game control microcomputer 560. The control microcomputer 100 can grasp the symbol (seg pattern) of the special symbol derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b in the variable display. .

  The command 8F00 (H) is an effect control command (symbol confirmation designation command) indicating that the variable display (fluctuation) of the effect symbol is terminated and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. When receiving the symbol confirmation designation command, the effect control microcomputer 100 ends the variable display (fluctuation) of the effect symbol and derives and displays the display result.

  Command 9000 (H) is an effect control command (initialization designation command: power-on designation command) transmitted when power supply to the gaming machine is started. Command 9200 (H) is an effect control command (power failure recovery designation command) transmitted when power supply to the gaming machine is resumed. When the power supply to the gaming machine is started, the gaming control microcomputer 560 transmits a power failure recovery designation command if data is stored in the backup RAM, and if not, initialization designation is performed. Send a command.

  Command 9F00 (H) is an effect control command (customer waiting demonstration designation command) for designating a customer waiting demonstration.

  Command A001 (H) is an effect control command (probability big hit A start designation command: fanfare 1 designation command) for displaying the big hit start screen (fanfare screen), that is, the start of the big hit game. Command A002 (H) designates the start of a big hit game, but an effect control command (start of probability variable big hit B) designates that a big hit start screen (not shown) that is difficult to identify as a big hit game is displayed. Designation command: fanfare 2 designation command). The command A003 (H) designates the start of a small hit game, but an effect control command (small) that designates display of a small hit start screen (not shown) that is difficult to identify as a small hit game. Hit start designation command: fanfare 3 designation command). Note that the game control microcomputer 560 may be configured to transmit a common probability variation big hit B / small hit start designation fanfare designation command when the probability variation big hit B is a small hit.

  The command A1XX (H) is an effect control command (special command during opening of a big winning opening) indicating a display during the opening of the big winning opening for the number of times (round) indicated by XX. A2XX (H) is an effect control command (designation command after opening the big winning opening) indicating the closing of the big winning opening for the number of times (round) indicated by XX.

  The command A301 (H) displays a jackpot end screen (ending screen), that is, designates the end of the jackpot game, and also specifies an effect control command (probability variation jackpot B end designation command: Ending 1 designation command). The command A302 (H) displays a jackpot end screen (ending screen), that is, designates the end of the jackpot game, and also specifies an effect control command (probable variation jackpot B end designation command: Ending 2 designation command). Command A303 (H) displays a small hitting end screen (ending screen), that is, specifies the end of the small hitting game, and also specifies an effect control command (small hitting end specifying command: Ending 3 designation command). Note that the game control microcomputer 560 may be configured to transmit a common probability variation big hit B / small hit end designation ending designation command when the probability variation big hit B is a small hit.

  In this embodiment, the big hit start screen specified by the command A002 (H) and the small hit start screen specified by the command A003 (H) are the same start screen, and the command A302 (H) The big hit end screen designated by the command and the small hit end screen designated by the command A303 (H) are the same screen. Specifically, the big hit / small hit start screen and the big hit / small hit end screen are display screens in the same mode as the screen (not shown) displayed in the latter half of the non-reach PA1-3, 4 described above. It is difficult to specify whether the probability change big hit B or the small hit has occurred, and suggests that the probability change big hit B may have occurred and the gaming state may have shifted to the probability change state (high probability low base state). It is supposed to be a screen.

  Command B000 (H) is an effect control command (normal state designation command) that designates that the gaming state is a normal state. Command B001 (H) is an effect control command (time-short state designation command) for designating that the gaming state is the time-short state. Command B002 (H) is an effect control command (probability change state designation command) for designating that the gaming state is a probability change (high probability) state. Command B003 (H) is an effect control command (short time end designation command) for notifying that the short time state has ended.

  The command B1XX (H) is an effect control command (time reduction number designation command) for designating the remaining number of time reduction states (how many times the time reduction state continues until the variable display is finished). “XX” in the command B1XX (H) indicates the remaining number of time-short states.

  The command B2XX (H) is an effect control command (probability change count designation command) for designating the remaining number of times of the probability change state (how many times the probability change state continues until the variable display ends). “XX” in the command B2XX (H) indicates the remaining number of times of the probability variation state.

  Command C0XX (H) is an effect control command (first reserved memory number designation command) for designating the first reserved memory number. “XX” in the command C0XX (H) indicates the first reserved storage number. Command C1XX (H) is an effect control command (second reserved memory number designation command) that designates the second reserved memory number. “XX” in the command C1XX (H) indicates the second reserved storage number.

  In this embodiment, regardless of the game state (for example, whether the game is in a high probability state, a high base state, or whether the game is a big hit game), a start winning is generated and held. Each time the storage is performed, the winning determination process is executed, and the symbol designation command shown in FIG. 14 is always transmitted. Then, the production control microcomputer 100 gives a notice of whether or not a big hit or super-reach will be made in advance, before the variable display of the notice target is started, based on the received symbol designation command. Execute the hold notice. In this embodiment, the hold notice for the probability variation big hit B and the small hit is not executed, that is, only the hold notice for the probability change big hit A is executed. It can be avoided that the player is easily grasped by the notice.

  The effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) mounted on the effect control board 80 receives the above-described effect control command from the game control microcomputer 560 mounted on the main board 31. Then, the display state of the effect display device 9 is changed according to the contents shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. To do.

  For example, the game control microcomputer 560 designates the variation pattern of the effect symbol whenever there is a start prize and variable display of the special symbol is started on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. The variation pattern command and the display result designation command are transmitted to the production control microcomputer 100.

  In this embodiment, the effect control command has a 2-byte structure, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to “1”, and the first bit (bit 7) of the EXT data is always set to “0”. Note that such a command form is an example, and other command forms may be used. For example, a control command composed of 1 byte or 3 bytes or more may be used.

  In addition, as the transmission method of the effect control command, the effect control command data is output from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80 via the relay board 77 by the eight parallel signal lines of the effect control signals CD0 to CD7, In addition to the effect control command data, a method of outputting a pulse-shaped (rectangular wave) capture signal (effect control INT signal) for instructing capture of the effect control command data is used. The 8-bit effect control command data of the effect control command is output in synchronization with the effect control INT signal. The effect control microcomputer 100 mounted on the effect control board 80 detects that the effect control INT signal has risen, and starts a 1-byte data capturing process through an interrupt process.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the variable pattern command and the display result designation command are displayed as variable display (variation) of the effect symbol corresponding to the variation of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8 a and the second special symbol. An effect display that can be used in common with the variable display (variation) of the effect symbol corresponding to the variation of the second special symbol on the symbol display 8b, and that produces an effect with the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. It is possible to prevent an increase in the types of commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 to the effect control microcomputer 100 when controlling the effect parts such as the device 9.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a display symbol pattern determination table used for determining a special symbol derived and displayed as a display result by the game control microcomputer 560. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, 102 patterns (plural types) of display symbols that can be distinguished from each other are defined as display symbols common to the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  Specifically, the display symbol pattern 0 (segment pattern number 0) corresponds to the probability variation big hit A, and the display symbol patterns 1 to 50 (segment segment numbers 1 to 50) correspond to the probability variation big hit B. Patterns 51 to 100 (segment pattern numbers 51 to 100) correspond to the small hits, and the display symbol pattern 101 is a display symbol corresponding to the loss. That is, 50 types of display symbols are registered as the probability variation big hit B symbol and the small hit symbol.

  As shown in the display symbol pattern determination table, each display symbol pattern is a pattern in which the combination of the segments to be lit is different among the eight segments of the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b. , Each of which can be identified, there are 100 patterns (100 types) of display symbols corresponding to the probability variation big hit B and the small hit, and the combination of chance chances corresponding to the probability variation big hit B and the small hit is “135. ”,“ 334 ”,“ 545 ”,“ 787 ”,“ 776 ”because there are more types of production symbols, the display symbols of the pattern derived and displayed as a display result on the special symbol display, It is difficult to identify whether the display symbol corresponds to the probable big hit B or the display symbol corresponding to the small hit.

  In addition, a predetermined number of judgment values are assigned to each of these display symbols, and the display symbols of the seg pattern corresponding to the random 6 value extracted in the variable display when the probability variation big hit B is won. The display result is determined.

  In this embodiment, among the judgment values from 0 to 599, which is a numerical value range of random 6, three judgment values are assigned to five patterns of display symbol patterns 1, 11, 21, 31, and 41 of probability variation big hit B. In addition to the above, 13 determination values are assigned to the display symbol patterns of other probability variation big hits B. That is, the determination ratio of the display symbol patterns 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 in the case of the probable big hit B is 15/600, and other display symbol patterns other than these display symbol patterns 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 Since the display pattern pattern 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 has a determination ratio lower than that of other display pattern patterns (it is difficult to appear), the determination application described later is Is a display symbol pattern as a special segment to which a privilege is given. Further, the pattern 33 is a display symbol pattern as a lucky seg to which a privilege is given in the discrimination application described later, and all the segments other than these special seg and lucky seg are normal seg.

  In addition, in the case of small hits, twelve determination values are equally assigned to each of the 50 patterns from the small winning display symbol patterns 51 to 100 among the determination values from 0 to 599 which is a random numerical value range. ing. That is, in the case of the uncertain variation big hit, the determination ratios of the display symbol patterns 51 to 100 are all 12/600.

  The special symbol derived and displayed in this way has display symbol patterns 1 to 50 as display symbols corresponding to probability variation big hit B, and display symbol patterns 51 to 100 as display symbols corresponding to small hits. Is selected, the display pattern of the pattern corresponding to the random 6 value (0 to 599) extracted when it is determined that the variable display result is the big hit symbol of the probable big hit B is determined. It is like that.

  And regarding the display symbol patterns 1-50 which are the display symbols corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, the number of determination values of random 6 assigned to the display symbol patterns 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 (3) However, when it is determined that the variable display result is the symbol of the probable big hit B by being smaller than the random number of determination values (13) assigned to other display symbol patterns (13), The display design patterns 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 of the probability variation big hit B are determined at a lower rate than the display design patterns of other probability variation big hit B. Thus, by making the appearance rate of the display symbols different for each display symbol pattern, it is possible to give interest to the derived display status of the display symbols.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when either the probability variation big hit B or the small hit occurs, any one of the display symbol patterns 1 to 100 is displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. The symbols (special symbols) are stopped and displayed, and the effect display device 9 stops and displays any combination of the effect symbols of the above-mentioned chances. At this time, there are many display symbol patterns to specify which one of the probability variation big hit B and the small hit has occurred from the display symbols stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol indicator 8b. This is considered difficult.

  In addition, since the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b are 8-segment displays, 256 display symbols can be displayed, but the type of display symbols is one of the 256 patterns that can be displayed. It is difficult to specify a combination of these 102 patterns because the pattern is 102 patterns (half or less).

  Furthermore, among the display symbol patterns 1 to 100 corresponding to the probability variation big hit B and the small hit, only the display symbol having the smaller number of patterns out of the display symbols corresponding to the probability variation big hit B and the display small hit corresponding to the small hit By specifying, the other pattern is not easily specified.

  In this embodiment, by increasing the number (number of patterns) of the display symbol patterns that can be identified (100 patterns), the display symbol pattern corresponding to the probability variation big hit B or small hit is determined. However, for example, even if the number of pieces of identification information is small, a plurality of types of pieces of identification information having similar display modes that cannot be instantaneously identified even when the pieces of identification information are visually observed may be applied.

  FIGS. 17 and 18 are flowcharts showing an example of a special symbol process (step S26) program executed by the game control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) mounted on the main board 31. As described above, in the special symbol process, a process for controlling the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the special winning opening is executed. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 turns on the first start winning opening 13 when the first start opening switch 13a for detecting that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 13 is turned on. If a winning has occurred, a first start port switch passage process is executed (steps S311 and S312). If the second start port switch 14a for detecting that the game ball has won the second start winning port 14 is turned on, that is, the start winning to the second start winning port 14 has occurred. Then, the second start port switch passage process is executed (steps S313, S314). Then, any one of steps S300 to S310 is performed. If the first start winning port switch 13a or the second start port switch 14a is not turned on, any one of steps S300 to S310 is performed according to the internal state.

  The processes in steps S300 to S310 are as follows.

  Special symbol normal processing (step S300): Executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is zero. When the game control microcomputer 560 is in a state where variable display of the special symbol can be started, the game control microcomputer 560 checks the number of numerical data stored in the reserved storage number buffer (total number of reserved storage). The stored number of numerical data stored in the pending storage number buffer can be confirmed by the count value of the total pending storage number counter. If the count value of the total pending storage number counter is not 0, it is determined whether or not the display result of the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit. In case of big hit, set big hit flag. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (1 in this example) according to step S301. The jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot game ends.

  Fluctuation pattern setting process (step S301): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 1. Also, the variation pattern is determined, and the variation time in the variation pattern (variable display time: the time from the start of variable display until the display result is derived and displayed (stop display)) is defined as the variation display variation time of the special symbol Decide to do. Also, a variable time timer for measuring the special symbol variable time is started. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (2 in this example) corresponding to step S302.

  Display result designation command transmission process (step S302): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 2. Control for transmitting a display result designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (3 in this example) corresponding to step S303.

  Special symbol changing process (step S303): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 3. When the variation time of the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting process elapses (the variation time timer set in step S301 times out, that is, the variation time timer value becomes 0), the internal state (special symbol process flag) is stepped. Update to a value corresponding to S304 (4 in this example).

  Special symbol stop process (step S304): executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 4. The variable display on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b is stopped, and the stop symbol is derived and displayed. In addition, control for transmitting a symbol confirmation designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 is performed. If the big hit flag is set, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (5 in this example) corresponding to step S305. If the small hit flag is set, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (8 in this example) corresponding to step S308. If neither the big hit flag nor the small hit flag is set, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to step S300 (in this example, 0). The effect control microcomputer 100 controls the effect display device 9 to stop the effect symbol when receiving the symbol confirmation designation command transmitted by the game control microcomputer 560.

  Preliminary winning opening opening process (step S305): This is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 5. In the pre-opening process for the big prize opening, control for opening the big prize opening is performed. Specifically, a counter (for example, a counter that counts the number of game balls that have entered the big prize opening) is initialized and the solenoid 21 is driven to open the big prize opening. Also, the execution time of the special prize opening opening process is set by the timer, and the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to step S306 (6 in this example). The pre-opening process for the big winning opening is executed for each round, but when the first round is started, the pre-opening process for the big winning opening is also a process for starting the big hit game.

  Large winning opening opening process (step S306): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 6. A control for transmitting an effect control command for round display during the big hit gaming state to the effect control microcomputer 100, a process for confirming the completion of the closing condition of the big prize opening, and the like are performed. If the closing condition for the special prize opening is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (5 in this example) corresponding to step S305. When all the rounds are completed, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to step S307 (7 in this example).

  Big hit end process (step S307): executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 7. Control is performed to cause the microcomputer 100 for effect control to perform display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended. In addition, a process for setting a flag indicating a gaming state (for example, a probability change flag or a time reduction flag) is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (0 in this example) corresponding to step S300.

  Small hit release pre-processing (step S308): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 8. In the pre-opening process for small hits, control is performed to open the big prize opening. Specifically, a counter (for example, a counter that counts the number of game balls that have entered the big prize opening) is initialized and the solenoid 21 is driven to open the big prize opening. Also, the execution time of the special prize opening opening process is set by the timer, and the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to step S309 (9 in this example). It should be noted that although the pre-opening process for small hits is executed for each round, the pre-opening process for small hits is also a process for starting a small hit game when starting the first round.

  Small hit release processing (step S309): executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 9. Processing to confirm the establishment of the closing condition of the big prize opening is performed. If the closing condition for the big prize opening is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to step S308 (8 in this example). When all rounds are completed, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to step S310 (in this example, 10 (decimal number)).

  Small hit end process (step S310): executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 10. Control for causing the production control microcomputer 100 to perform display control for notifying the player that the small hit gaming state has ended is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (0 in this example) corresponding to step S300.

  Here, the start port switch passing process in steps S312 and S314 will be described by taking the first start port switch passing process in step S312 as an example. In addition, since the 2nd start port switch passage process of step S312 is the same as the 1st start port switch passage process, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the first start port switch passing process executed when the first start port switch 13a is in the ON state, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the first reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value (specifically, the first hold port number). Whether or not the value of the first reserved memory number counter for counting the memory number is 4). If the first reserved storage number has reached the upper limit value, the processing is terminated as it is.

  If the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value, the CPU 56 increases the value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1, and increases the value of the total reserved memory number counter for counting the total reserved memory number by one. Further, the CPU 56 corresponds to the value of the total reserved storage number counter in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area) for storing the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14. Data indicating “first” is set in the area.

  In this embodiment, when the first start opening switch 13a is turned on (that is, when a game ball starts and wins the first start winning opening 13), data indicating “first” is set, When the second start port switch 14a is turned on (that is, when a game ball starts and wins the second start winning port 14), data indicating “second” is set. For example, the CPU 56 sets 01 (H) as data indicating “first” when the first start port switch 13 a is turned on in the reserved storage specifying information storage area (holding specified area), and the first 2 When the start port switch 14a is turned on, 02 (H) is set as data indicating “second”. In this case, when there is no corresponding reserved storage, 00 (H) is set in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area).

  In the reserved specific area, an area corresponding to the maximum value (8 in this example) of the total reserved memory number counter is secured, and based on winning in the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14. Data indicating “first” or “second” in the winning order is set. Accordingly, in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area), the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 is stored. Note that the reserved specific area is formed in the RAM 55.

  Next, the CPU 56 executes processing for extracting values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers and storing them in the storage area in the first reserved storage buffer. In this process, random R (big hit determination random number) that is a hardware random number, big hit type determination random number (random 1) that is a software random number, variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and variation pattern determination A random number (random 3) is extracted and stored in the storage area. Note that the random number for random pattern determination (random 3) is not extracted in the first start port switch passing process (at the time of start winning) and stored in the storage area in advance, but is extracted at the start of fluctuation of the first special symbol. You may do it. For example, the game control microcomputer 560 may directly extract a value from a variation pattern determination random number counter for generating a variation pattern determination random number (random 3) in a variation pattern setting process described later.

  In the first reserved memory buffer, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value (4 in this example) of the first reserved memory number is secured. In addition, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value of the second reserved storage number (4 in this example) is secured in the second reserved storage buffer. In this embodiment, the first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer include a random R that is a hardware random number (random hit determination random number), a big hit type determination random number that is a software random number (random 1), a variation pattern A random number for type determination (random 2) and a random number for variation pattern determination (random 3) are stored. The first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer are formed in the RAM 55.

  Next, the CPU 56 executes a winning determination process for determining in advance at the start winning a variable display result when a variation based on the detected starting winning is subsequently executed. Then, the CPU 56 performs control for transmitting a winning determination result designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the determination result of the winning determination process (transmission set of the winning determination result designation command) and determines the winning determination. Following the result designation command, control (transmission set of the first pending memory number designation command) is performed to transmit the first pending memory quantity designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the value of the first pending memory quantity counter.

  19 and 20 are flowcharts showing the special symbol normal process (step S300) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol normal process, the CPU 56 confirms the value of the total pending storage number (step S51). Specifically, the count value of the total pending storage number counter is confirmed. If the total pending storage number is 0, the process is terminated.

  If the total number of pending storage is not 0, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the first data among the data set in the pending specific area is data indicating “first” (step S52). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is not data indicating “first” (that is, data indicating “second”) (N in step S52), the CPU 56 determines that the special symbol pointer (first Data indicating “second” is set in a flag indicating whether special symbol process processing is being performed for one special symbol or special symbol process processing is being performed for the second special symbol (step S53). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is data indicating “first” (Y in step S52), the CPU 56 sets data indicating “first” in the special symbol pointer (step S52). S54), the first data set in the reserved specific area (see FIG. 19A) is deleted, and the order of each of the second and subsequent data is moved up one by one and shifted (second → 1). The third, second → second, fourth → third, etc.) data in the reserved specific area is updated (S55-).

  In this embodiment, the variable display of the first special symbol or the variable display of the second special symbol is executed in accordance with the start winning order in which the game balls have won the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14. However, the variable display of either one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be executed with priority. In this case, for example, when the state is shifted to the high base state, it is easy to start winning at the second starting winning port 14 provided with the variable winning ball device 15 and the second reserved memory is easily accumulated. The variable display of special symbols may be executed with priority.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number = 1 indicated by the special symbol pointer in the RAM 55 and stores it in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55 (step S55). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 determines each disturbance stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = 1 in the first reserved memory number buffer. The numerical value is read and stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55. In addition, when the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, the CPU 56 reads each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = 1 in the second reserved memory number buffer. And stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55.

  Then, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the reserved storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (step S56). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 and saves each storage area in the first reserved memory number buffer. Shift the contents of. When the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, the count value of the second reserved memory number counter is decremented by 1, and the contents of each storage area in the second reserved memory number buffer are shifted.

  That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 saves the first reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first reserved memory number buffer of the RAM 55. Are stored in a storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = n−1. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, it is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second reserved memory number buffer of the RAM 55. Each random number value is stored in a storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n−1. In addition, the CPU 56 adds the values (values indicating “first” or “second”) stored in the storage area corresponding to the total reserved storage number = m (m = 2 to 8) in the reserved specific area. Store in the storage area corresponding to the number of reserved storage = m−1.

  Therefore, the order in which each random value stored in each storage area corresponding to each first reserved memory number (or each second reserved memory number) is extracted is always the first reserved memory number (or (Second reserved storage number) = 1, 2, 3, 4 in order. Further, the order in which the values stored in the respective storage areas corresponding to the total number of pending storages are extracted always matches the order of the total number of pending storages = 1-8.

  Then, the CPU 56 stores the count value of the total pending storage number counter in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 (step S57), and then decreases the value of the total pending storage number by one. That is, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the total pending storage number counter (step S58). The CPU 56 stores the value of the total pending storage number counter before the count value is decremented by 1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 55.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit the reserved memory number designation command indicated by the special symbol pointer to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the value of the reserved memory number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer after the subtraction. (Step S59). In this case, when a value indicating “first” is set in the special symbol pointer, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit the first reserved storage number designation command. When a value indicating “second” is set in the special symbol pointer, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a second reserved memory number designation command.

  In the special symbol normal process, first, data indicating “first” indicating that the process is executed for the first start winning opening 13, that is, “first” indicating that the process is executed for the first special symbol. ”Or“ second ”indicating that the process is performed on the second special symbol, that is,“ second ”indicating that the process is performed on the second start winning opening 14. Data is set in the special symbol pointer. In the subsequent processing in the special symbol process, processing corresponding to the data set in the special symbol pointer is executed. Therefore, the process of steps S300 to S310 can be made common between the case of targeting the first special symbol and the case of targeting the second special symbol.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads a random R (a jackpot determination random number) from the random number buffer area and executes a jackpot determination module. In this case, the CPU 56 is for determining the big hit that has been extracted in step S215A of the first start port switch passing process or step S215B of the second start port switch passing process and stored in advance in the first hold memory buffer or the second hold memory buffer. A random number is read and a big hit judgment is performed. The big hit determination module compares the big hit determination value or the small hit determination value (see FIG. 9) determined in advance with the big hit determination random number, and if they match, executes the process of determining the big hit or the small hit It is a program to do. That is, it is a program that executes a big hit determination or a small hit determination process.

  In the big hit determination process, when the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability state), the probability of a big hit is higher (10 times) than when the gaming state is a non-probable change state (low probability state or normal state). It is configured as follows. Specifically, a jackpot determination table at the time of probability change in which a large number of jackpot determination values are set in advance (a table in which the numerical values on the right side of FIG. 9A in the ROM 54 are set) and the number of jackpot determination values are variable. There is provided a normal big hit determination table (a table in which the numerical values on the left side of FIG. 9A in the ROM 54 are set) set to be smaller than the big hit determination table. Then, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation state. If the gaming state is a probability variation state, the jackpot determination process is performed using the probability variation jackpot determination table, and the gaming state is normal. When it is in the state, the big hit determination process is performed using the normal big hit determination table. That is, when the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) matches one of the big hit determination values shown in FIG. 9A, the CPU 56 determines that the special symbol is a big hit. When it is determined to be a big hit (step S61), the process proceeds to step S71. Note that deciding whether to win or not is to decide whether or not to shift to the big hit gaming state, but to decide whether or not to stop the special symbol display as a big hit symbol. But there is.

  Note that whether or not the current gaming state is the probability variation state is determined by whether or not the probability variation flag is set. The probability variation flag is set when the gaming state is shifted to the probability variation state, and is reset when the probability variation state is terminated. Specifically, it is determined to be a probable big hit A or a probable big hit B, and is set in the process of ending the big hit game. When the big hit is decided, the special symbol variable display is ended and the stop symbol is stopped. It is reset at the timing.

  If the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) does not match any of the big hit determination values (No in step S61), the CPU 56 uses the small hit determination table (see FIGS. 9B and 9C). Then, the small hit determination process is performed. That is, when the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) matches one of the small hit determination values shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, the CPU 56 determines that the special symbol is a small hit. In this case, the CPU 56 confirms the data indicated by the special symbol pointer. If the data indicated by the special symbol pointer is “first”, the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) shown in FIG. ) To determine whether or not to make a small hit. If the data indicated by the special symbol pointer is “second”, it is determined whether or not to make a small hit using the small hit determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. 9C. . If it is determined to be a small hit (step S62), the CPU 56 sets a small hit flag indicating a small hit (step S63).

  If the value of random R does not match either the big hit determination value or the small hit determination value (No in step S62), that is, if it is out of place, the process proceeds to step S75 as it is.

  In step S71, the CPU 56 sets a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit.

  Next, the CPU 56 uses the selected jackpot type determination table to select the type corresponding to the value corresponding to the random number (random 1) for determining the jackpot type stored in the random number buffer area (“probability big hit A” or “ The probability variation big hit B ") is determined as the big hit type. In this case, the CPU 56 extracts the jackpot type determination random number extracted in step S215A of the first start port switch passing process or step S215B of the second start port switch passing process and stored in advance in the first hold memory buffer or the second hold memory buffer. To determine the type of jackpot.

  Then, the CPU 56 sets data indicating the determined jackpot type in the jackpot type buffer in the RAM 55 (step S74). For example, when the jackpot type is “probable variation jackpot A”, “02” is set as data indicating the jackpot type, and when the jackpot type is “probable variation jackpot B”, “03” is set as data indicating the jackpot type. Is done.

  Next, the CPU 56 determines a special symbol stop symbol (step S75). Specifically, when neither the big hit flag nor the small hit flag is set, “−” of the display symbol pattern 101 that becomes the off symbol is determined as the special symbol stop symbol. When the jackpot flag is set, if the jackpot type specified from the setting value of the jackpot type buffer is the probability variation jackpot A, “F” of the display symbol pattern 0 corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A is a special symbol. The stop symbol is determined. When the jackpot type specified from the set value of the jackpot type buffer is a probable big hit B, a random 6 random number value is extracted and extracted from among the display symbol patterns 1 to 50 corresponding to the probable big hit B. The display symbol pattern corresponding to the random value of random number 6 is determined as the stop symbol. Further, when the small hit flag is set, the display symbol pattern corresponding to the random 6 random number extracted from the display symbol patterns 51 to 100 corresponding to the small hit is determined as the stop symbol. In this way, the jackpot symbol is determined from a plurality of types of jackpot symbols, and the jackpot symbol is determined from a plurality of types of jackpot symbols to determine whether the player is a jackpot or a jackpot. It can be difficult to specify by a special design.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern type is determined in the winning determination process performed at the time of winning the game ball, and whether or not the big hit is determined and the variation pattern is determined at the start of the variable symbol variable display. However, it is also possible to determine whether or not the game ball is a big hit at the time of winning the game ball, and to determine the variation pattern at the start of variable symbol special display.

  Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step S301) (step S76).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the variation pattern setting process (step S301) in the special symbol process. In the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the big hit flag is set. When the big hit flag is set, the CPU 56 further determines whether the big hit is changed according to the data stored in the big hit type buffer. It is determined whether or not it is a big hit A (step S91).

  When the big hit is the probable big hit A, the fluctuation pattern type determination table 132a for the probable big hit A is used as a table used to determine the variation pattern type as one of a plurality of types (see FIG. 10A). Is selected (step S92). Then, the process proceeds to step S102.

  On the other hand, if the big hit is not the probability variation big hit A, that is, if the probability variation big hit B, the process proceeds to step S94 and the probability variation big hit B / small hit variation pattern type determination table 132b (see FIG. 10B) is selected. (Step S94). Then, the process proceeds to step S102.

  On the other hand, when the big hit flag is not set, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the small hit flag is set (step S93). When the small hit flag is set, the CPU 56 uses the probability variation big hit B / small hit variation pattern type determination table 132b (as a table used to determine one of a plurality of variation pattern types as the variation pattern type. 10B) is selected (step S94). Then, the process proceeds to step S102.

  When the small hit flag is not set, the CPU 56 confirms whether or not the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set. The time reduction flag is set when the gaming state is shifted to the time reduction state (including the time of shifting to the probability change state), and is reset when the time reduction state is ended. Specifically, it is determined to be a probable big hit A or a probable big hit B, which is set in the process of ending the big hit game, and when the short time is exhausted, or when a special symbol is variably displayed. It is reset at the timing of stopping and displaying the stop symbol. If the time reduction flag is set (Yes in step S95), the CPU 56 proceeds to step S98.

  If the time reduction flag is not set (No in step S95), the CPU 56 checks whether or not the total pending storage number is 3 or more (step S96). If the total number of pending storages is less than 3 (No in step S96), the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern type determination table A135a for detachment as a table used to determine the variation pattern type as one of a plurality of types. 11A) is selected (step S97). Then, the process proceeds to step S102.

  When the time reduction flag is set (Yes in Step S95) or the total number of pending storages is 3 or more (Yes in Step S96), the CPU 56 determines the variation pattern type as one of a plurality of types. After selecting the deviation variation pattern type determination table B135b (see FIG. 11B) as a table to be used (step S98), the process proceeds to step S102.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads random 2 (random number for variation pattern type determination) from the random number buffer area (first reserved storage buffer or second reserved storage buffer), and selects the table selected in the processes of steps S92, S94, S97, and S98. By referencing, the variation pattern type is determined as one of a plurality of types (step S102).

  Next, the CPU 56 uses the hit variation pattern determination tables 137a and 137b (see FIG. 12) as tables used to determine the variation pattern as one of a plurality of types based on the determination result of the variation pattern type in step S102. ), One of the deviation variation pattern determination table 138a (see FIG. 13) is selected (step S103). Further, the random pattern 3 (random number for variation pattern determination) is read from the random number buffer area (first reserved storage buffer or second reserved storage buffer), and the variation pattern is determined by referring to the variation pattern determination table selected in step S103. Is determined as one of a plurality of types (step S105). When the random number 3 (variation pattern determination random number) is not extracted at the start winning timing, the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern determination random number counter for generating the variation pattern determination random number (random 3). It is also possible to extract the value directly from and to determine the variation pattern based on the extracted random number value.

  Next, an effect control command (variation pattern command) corresponding to the determined variation pattern is controlled to be transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 (step S106).

  Also, the special symbol change is started (step S107). For example, a start flag corresponding to the special symbol referred to in the special symbol display control process in step S33 is set. Further, a value corresponding to the variation time corresponding to the selected variation pattern is set in the variation time timer formed in the RAM 55 (step S108). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the display result designation command transmission process (step S302) (step S109).

  In the case where it is determined to be out of place, instead of suddenly determining the variation pattern type, first, it may be determined whether or not to reach by a lottery process using a random number for reach determination. Then, based on the determination result as to whether or not to reach, the processing of steps S95 to S101 may be executed to determine the variation pattern type.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the special symbol stop process (step S304) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 56 sets an end flag referred to in the special symbol display control process in step S32 to end the variation of the special symbol, and the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. Then, a control for deriving and displaying the stop symbol is performed (step S131). If data indicating “first” is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a is terminated, and “second” is indicated in the special symbol pointer. When data is set, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b is terminated. Moreover, control which transmits the symbol determination designation | designated command to the microcomputer 100 for production control is performed (step S132). If the big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S140 (step S133).

  When the big hit flag is set, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the probability change flag indicating the probability change state is set (step S133a), and when set, in the big hit gaming state. The game state is temporarily shifted to the normal state, but when determining the game state after the end of the big hit game state in the big hit end process described later, in order to know whether or not the game state before the big hit was a probable change state In addition, a big hit probability change flag indicating that the gaming state before the big hit was a probability change state is set (step S133b).

  Next, if there is a probability change flag, a time reduction flag, or a high-accuracy notification flag, they are reset (step S134), and control for transmitting a big hit start designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 is performed (step S135). Specifically, if the big hit type is a probable big hit A, a probable big hit A start designation command is transmitted. When the big hit type is a probable big hit B, a probable big hit B start designation command is transmitted. Whether the big hit type is a probable big hit A or a probable big hit B is determined based on the data indicating the big hit type stored in the RAM 55 (data stored in the big hit type buffer). Further, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a normal state designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (step S136).

  In addition, a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (a time for which the effect display device 9 notifies that the jackpot has occurred, for example) is set in the jackpot display time timer (step S137). In addition, the number of times of opening (for example, 15 times or 5 times) and the opening time corresponding to the big hit type are set in the big winning opening opening number counter (step S138). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the pre-winner opening pre-processing (step S305) (step S139).

  In step S140, the CPU 56 checks whether or not a probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is set. When the probability variation flag is set, the value of the probability variation counter that indicates the number of times the special symbol can be varied in the probability variation state is decremented by 1 (step S153). Then, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a certain variation number designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the value of the certain variation number counter after the subtraction (step S154). Next, the CPU 56 resets the probability variation flag when the value of the probability variation counter after subtraction becomes 0 (step S155), and also sets the probability notification flag when the probability notification flag is set. Is reset (step S156). Further, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a normal state designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (step S157).

  If the value of the probability variation counter after subtraction is not 0 in step S155, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set (step S141). When the time reduction flag is set (that is, when the time change state is controlled to the probability change / time reduction state), the value of the time reduction counter indicating the number of times the special symbol can be changed in the time reduction state is decremented by 1 (step S142). Then, the CPU 56 performs control for transmitting a time reduction number designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction (step S143), and then the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction is 0. If it becomes (step S144), the time reduction flag is reset (step S145).

  When the time reduction flag is reset in step S145, or in the case of No in step S140, No in S141, or No in S144, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the small hit flag is set (step S147). If the small hit flag is set, the CPU 56 transmits a small hit start designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (step S148). In addition, a value corresponding to the small hit display time (for example, the time when the effect display device 9 notifies that the small hit has occurred) is set in the small hit display time timer (step S149). Further, the number of times of opening (for example, 5 times) and the opening time corresponding to the small hit (the same opening time as the probability variation big hit B) are set in the special winning opening opening counter (step S150). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the small hit start pre-processing (step S308) (step S151).

  If the small hit flag is not set (N in step S147), the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S300) (step S195).

  In the jackpot end process (step S307) in the special symbol process, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the jackpot end display timer is set. If the jackpot end display timer is not set, the CPU 56 resets the jackpot flag. , Control to send a jackpot end designation command. Here, if the probability variation big hit A, the probability variation big hit A end designation command is transmitted, and if the probability variation big hit B, the small hit / probability variation big hit B end designation command is transmitted. Then, a value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time during which the big hit end display is performed in the effect display device 9 (the big hit end display time) is set in the big hit end display timer, and the processing is ended.

  When the big hit end display timer is set, 1 is subtracted from the value of the big hit end display timer. Then, the CPU 56 checks whether the value of the jackpot end display timer is 0, that is, whether the jackpot end display time has elapsed. If not, the process ends.

  If the big hit end display time has elapsed, the CPU 56 confirms whether or not the big hit type is a probable big hit A. Specifically, it can be determined by checking whether or not the data set in the big hit type buffer in step S74 of the special symbol normal process is “02”. If the probability change big hit A, the CPU 56 sets a time reduction flag to shift the gaming state to the time reduction state, and sets a predetermined number of times (for example, 72 times) in the time reduction counter for counting the number of time reductions. Control to transmit a state designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed.

  Next, the CPU 56 sets a probability change flag to shift the gaming state to the probability change state, sets a predetermined number of times (for example, 75 times) to a probability change number counter for counting the probability change number, and produces a probability change state designation command. Control to be transmitted to the control microcomputer 100 is performed.

  When the game state is shifted to the probability change state, that is, when the game state is shifted to the probability change (high probability) state during the game other than the start-up, the probability change flag is set before the power supply is stopped at the start-up. Unlike the case, since the high-accuracy notification flag is not set, the high-accuracy notification LED 24 is not turned on to notify that the probability variation (high accuracy) state is present, and the startup accuracy information is not received from the information output circuit 53. It is output and the calling lamp does not notify that it is in the state of change (high accuracy).

  When the probability change big hit B, it is checked whether or not the big hit pre-big hit probability change flag is set. If the big hit probability change flag is not set, the probability change flag is set in order to shift the gaming state to the probability change state, and a predetermined number (for example, 75 times) is set in the probability change number counter for counting the number of probability changes) Then, control is performed to transmit the probability change state designation command to the production control microcomputer 100. On the other hand, if the big hit probability change flag is set, after resetting the big hit probability change flag, the short time flag is set to shift the gaming state to the short time state, and the short time to count the short time count A predetermined number of times (for example, 72 times) is set in the number counter, and after performing control for transmitting a time-short state designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100, a probability change flag is set in order to shift the gaming state to the probability change state. Then, a predetermined number of times (for example, 75 times) is set in the probability variation counter for counting the probability variation number), and control for transmitting the probability variation state designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed.

  In other words, when the probability variation big hit B occurs in the normal state (low accuracy low base state), the probability variation count is updated (set), and the probability variation state (high accuracy low base state) or the probability variation / short time state (high accuracy high base state) ), When the probability variation big hit B occurs, the number of time reductions and the number of probability variations are updated (set).

  Then, the CPU 56 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S300).

  Further, in the small hit end process (step S310) in the special symbol process, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the small hit end display timer is set. Subtract 1 from the value of the hit end display timer. Then, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the value of the small hit end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the small hit end display time has elapsed. If not, the process ends.

  If the small hit end display time has elapsed, the CPU 56 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (step S300).

  On the other hand, when the small hit end display timer is not set, the small hit flag is reset and control for transmitting a small hit end designation command is performed.

  Then, a value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time during which the small hit end display is performed in the effect display device 9 (small hit end display time) is set in the small hit end display timer, and the processing is ended.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 80 as effect control means will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) as effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80. The effect control CPU 101 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (step S701). . Thereafter, the effect control CPU 101 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring a timer interrupt flag (step S702). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 101 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set in the main process, the effect control CPU 101 clears the flag (step S703) and executes the following effect control process.

  In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 first analyzes the received effect control command and performs a process of setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis process: step S704). Next, the effect control CPU 101 performs effect control process processing (step S705). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 9 is executed.

  Next, a random number update process for updating a count value of a counter for generating a random number such as a jackpot symbol determination random number is executed (step S706), and a menu for displaying a menu screen for accepting or outputting a password is displayed. Processing is executed (step S707). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S702.

  FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing random numbers used by the production control microcomputer 100. As shown in FIG. 24, in this embodiment, a latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1 is used. Note that random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the effect.

  The latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1 sets the type of mode to be shifted in the latent suggestion effect to be executed in the day mode or night when the probability suggestion effect is executed when the probability variation big hit B and the small hit state are finished. It is a random number for determining one of the modes.

  A counter for generating each random number of SR1 is formed in the RAM. Then, the numerical value of each counter is updated by the random number update process (step S706) shown in FIG. That is, the value is incremented by one. When the count value of the counter exceeds the upper limit value (the maximum value in the range shown in FIG. 24) of the random number, the counter is returned to the lower limit value (the minimum value in the range shown in FIG. 24). Reading the count value of the counter for generating the random number is called extracting the random number.

  The ROM in the effect control microcomputer 100 includes an effect control pattern table including effect control patterns for various effects, including an unillustrated symbol variation control pattern table, and effect control patterns in each big hit state and small hit state. A winning effect control pattern table (not shown) is stored. In the symbol variation control pattern table of the present embodiment, the control contents of the rendering operation such as the rendering display operation in the period from the start of the variation of the rendering symbol to the stop presentation of the finalized symbol to be the final stop symbol. The data shown is stored according to each variation pattern. Each symbol variation control pattern includes, for example, a plurality of effect operations for controlling various effect operations according to variable display of effect symbols such as process timer setting values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, and sound control execution data. Control data (process data) is set in time series.

  In addition, in the hit effect control pattern table, data indicating the contents of various effect controls during the period in which the big hit game state or the small hit game state is controlled is stored according to rounds or the like. In each effect control pattern, a plurality of control data for controlling various effect operations such as a process timer set value, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, and operation button control data are set in time series.

  A collection of control data for each of these various effect control patterns is called a process table.

  These process tables serve as control data for controlling various effects such as process timer set values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data, and end codes. It is composed of process data, and it is only necessary to set various contents of effect control, timing control switching timing, and the like in time series.

  The process timer set value is a value (determination value) to be compared with a process timer value that is a stored value of a process timer for effect control in the effect control CPU 101, and corresponds to an execution time (effect time) of each effect operation. The determined value is set in advance. In place of the process timer set value, for example, a predetermined effect control command is received from the main board 31, or a predetermined process is executed as a process for controlling the effect operation in the effect control CPU 101. Corresponding to predetermined control content and processing content, data indicating the switching timing of the production control may be set.

  The display control execution data includes data indicating the display mode of the effect image on the display screen of the effect display device 9, such as data indicating the variation mode of each decoration symbol during variable display of the effect symbol. That is, the display control execution data is data that designates the display operation of the effect image on the display screen of the effect display device 9. The sound control execution data includes data indicating an audio output mode from the speakers 27L and 27R, such as data indicating an output mode of a sound effect or the like in conjunction with the variable display operation of the effect symbol during the variable display of the effect symbol. ing. That is, the sound control execution data is data for designating the sound output operation from the speakers 27L and 27. The lamp control execution data includes data indicating the lighting operation mode of the light emitter, such as the decoration LED 25, the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, and the right frame LED 28c. That is, the lamp control execution data is data that designates the lighting operation of the light emitter. Note that these control data do not have to be included in all the effect control patterns, but an effect control pattern including a part of the control data according to the contents of the effect operation by each effect control pattern. There may be. Further, in the plural types of process data included in the effect control pattern, the types of control data constituting each process data may be different according to the contents of the effect operation executed at each timing. That is, some process data includes all of the display control data, sound control execution data, and lamp control execution data, and some process data includes some of these. Further, for example, various other control data such as movable member control data indicating an operation mode of the movable member included in the effect accessory may be included.

  The production control CPU 101 determines the control content of the production operation according to various control data included in these production control patterns. For example, when the process timer value matches any of the process timer set values, the effect design is displayed in a manner specified by the display control execution data included in the effect control execution data associated with the process timer set value. Then, control is performed to display effect images such as character images and background images on the display screen of the effect display device 9. Further, control is performed to output sound from the speakers 27L and 27R in a manner specified by the sound control execution data, and the decoration LED 25, the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, and the right frame LED 28c are specified in a manner specified by the lamp control execution data. And so on. Note that dummy data (data not specifying control) may be set as data corresponding to a production component that is not a control target even though it corresponds to the process timer set value.

  The ROM in the effect control microcomputer 100 stores a latent suggestion effect determination table A and a latent suggestion effect determination table B shown in FIG. In the latent suggestion effect determination table A, the background is set so that the number of determination values shown in FIGS. 25A and 25B is 1 to 100 which is the random value range of the latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1. A daytime mode that is a mode in which a bright daytime background (daytime stage) is displayed as a background image in the effect display device 9 as an image, and a dark nighttime background (night stage) is displayed as a background image in the effect display device 9. Corresponding to each of the night modes, which are different modes, “probable big hit B” and “small hit” are set individually.

  The latent suggestion effect determination table A shown in FIG. 25A is a table used when the operation unit 50 is operated by the player in the latent suggestion effect as shown in FIG. The latent suggestion effect determination table B shown in b) is a table used when the operation unit 50 is not operated by the player in the latent suggestion effect.

  In the latent suggestion effect determination table A, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), as the determination values corresponding to “probability big hit B”, there are 30 determination values in “day mode” and 70 determination values in “night mode”. Are assigned, and 90 judgment values are assigned to the “day mode” and 10 judgment values are assigned to the “night mode”.

  In the latent suggestion effect determination table B, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), as the determination values corresponding to “probability big hit B”, 70 determination values for “day mode” and 30 determination values for “night mode”. Are assigned, and as judgment values corresponding to “small hit”, 85 judgment values are assigned to “day mode” and 15 judgment values are assigned to “night mode”.

  That is, when the player operates the operation unit 50, the latent suggestion effect determination table A is used, so that the night mode is easily determined when the probability variation big hit B is generated and the probability variation state is entered. At the same time, when a small hit occurs and the state does not shift to the probability variation state, the daytime mode is easily determined, and depending on the type of these modes, it is easily suggested whether the probability variation state or not.

  Further, when the player does not operate the operation unit 50, the latent suggestion effect determination table B is used so that the probability variation big hit B is generated and the probability change state is entered, and the small hit is generated and the probability change is changed. In any case where the state does not change, it is easy to determine the daytime mode, and it is difficult to understand whether the state changes to the probability variation state or not depending on the type of these modes.

  That is, when the operation unit 50 is operated, it is easier to understand whether the state changes to the probability change state or the probability change state depending on the type of mode than when the operation unit 50 is not operated. 50 operations can be invoked.

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (step S705) in the main process shown in FIG. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 performs one of steps S800 to S806 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed. In the effect control process, the display state of the effect display device 9 is controlled and variable display of the effect symbol (decorative symbol) is realized. Control related to variable display and control related to variable display of effect symbols (decorative symbols) synchronized with the variation of the second special symbol are executed in one effect control process.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern command has been received from the game control microcomputer 560. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the variation pattern command reception flag set in the command analysis process is set. If the change pattern command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change start process (step S801).

  Effect symbol variation start processing (step S801): Control is performed so that the variation of the effect symbol (decoration symbol) is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (step S802).

  Production symbol variation processing (step S802): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitors the end of the variation time. When the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (step S803).

  Effect symbol variation stop processing (step S803): Based on the reception of the effect control command (design determination designation command) for instructing all symbols to stop, the variation of the effect symbol (decoration symbol) is stopped and the display result (stop symbol) Control to derive and display. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the hit display process (step S804) or the variation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800).

  Winning display process (step S804): After the end of the variation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 9 of the occurrence of a big hit or a small hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the winning game process (step S805).

  Process during winning game (step S805): Control during big hit game or small hit game is performed. For example, when a special winning opening opening designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 9 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the hit end effect process (step S806).

  Winning end effect processing (step S806): In the effect display device 9, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800).

  In the present embodiment, when a small hit occurs, in Steps S804 to 806, by performing the same effect processing as when the probability varying big hit B occurs, the occurrence is shifted to the probability changing state. The player cannot determine whether the probability variation big hit B or the small hit that does not shift to the probability variation state has occurred.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the hit end effect process (step S806) in the effect control process. In the hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 101 checks whether a big hit end effect timer or a small hit end effect timer is set (step S880). When the big hit end effect timer or the small hit end effect timer is set, the process proceeds to step S891. When the big hit end effect timer or the small hit end effect timer is not set, the probability variation big hit A end designation command reception flag and the probability variation big hit B end designation command indicating that the probability variation big hit A end designation command has been received are received. It is confirmed whether or not either the probability variation big hit B end designation command reception flag indicating or the small hit end designation command reception flag indicating that the small hit end designation command has been received is set (step S881).

  If any of probability variation big hit A end designation command reception flag, probability variation big hit B end designation command reception flag, or small hit end designation command reception flag is set, it depends on the set hit termination designation command reception flag. Then, a value corresponding to the big hit end display time or the small hit end display time is set in the hit end effect timer (step S882), and an end notification screen corresponding to the hit end designation command reception flag is displayed on the effect display device 9. Control is performed (step S883).

  That is, when the probability variation big hit A end designation command reception flag is set, the end notification screen corresponding to the probability variation big hit A is displayed, and when the probability variation big hit B end designation command reception flag is set, the probability variation big hit A end designation command reception flag is set. When the end notification screen corresponding to the big hit B is displayed and the small hit end designation command reception flag is set, the end notification screen corresponding to the small hit is displayed and the processing is terminated.

  In step S891, 1 is subtracted from the value of the big hit (small hit) end effect timer. Then, the effect control CPU 101 checks whether or not the value of the big hit (small hit) end effect timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big hit (small hit) end effect time has elapsed (step S892). When the big hit (small hit) end effect time has elapsed, the effect control CPU 101 sets the probability variation big hit A end designation command reception flag, the probability variation big hit B end designation command reception flag, and the small hit end designation command. After resetting one of the reception flags (step S893), the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800) (step S894).

  On the other hand, if the big hit (small hit) end effect time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S895, and whether or not the hit that has occurred is the probable big hit A based on the type of the set end designation command reception flag. Determine whether.

  In the case of the probability variation big hit A that shifts to the probability variation state with time reduction control, the process proceeds to step S896, the mode transition effect processing is performed, the background image is shifted to the night mode, and the processing is terminated. If it is not A (in the case of probability variation big hit B or small hit), the process proceeds to step S897, and the latent suggestion effect process shown in FIG. After suggesting this, the process is terminated.

  Here, the latent suggestion effect process in step S897 will be described with reference to FIG. 28. First, in the latent suggestion effect process, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the two-dimensional code display timer is being counted. As shown in FIG. 29, it is determined whether or not a two-dimensional code is being displayed (step S701). If the two-dimensional code display timer is being counted (two-dimensional code is being displayed), the process proceeds to step S710. If the two-dimensional code display timer is not being counted (before the two-dimensional code is being displayed), Proceeding to step S702, it is determined whether or not the button operation accepting flag is set, that is, whether or not the operation of the operation unit 50 is being accepted.

  If the button operation accepting flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S703, and after the button operation guidance screen shown in FIG. 29B is displayed, the button operation accepting flag is set (step S704) and the operation accepting timer is set. The timer count is started (step S705).

  When the latent suggestion effect process is executed by the first interruption and the button operation acceptance flag is set in step S704, that is, the button operation guidance screen of FIG. 29B is displayed, and the operation unit In the state in which the operation of 50 is valid, the process proceeds to step S720, and it is determined whether or not the operation unit 50 has accepted the operation.

  As shown in FIG. 29B, this button operation guidance screen includes a screen in which a predetermined character speaks a message “Please push the button!” Along with the image of the operation unit 50. The player is prompted to operate the operation unit 50.

  If there is an operation acceptance of the operation unit 50, the process proceeds to step S730, the mode type is determined based on the latent suggestion effect determination table A, and the process proceeds to step S724.

  In step S730, the latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1 is extracted, and based on the extracted latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1 and the determination value stored in the latent suggestion effect determination table A, the “day mode” is selected. ”Or“ Night Mode ”is determined as described above according to the type of hit (probable big hit B or small hit).

On the other hand, if there is no operation acceptance of the operation unit 50, the process proceeds to step S721, and after decrementing the operation acceptance timer by 1, it is determined whether or not the operation acceptance timer has expired.
If the timer is not up, the processing at the time of the interruption is terminated.

  If the operation accepting timer is up, that is, if the operation unit 50 is not operated within the accepting period set in the operation accepting timer, it is determined Yes in step S722 and the process proceeds to step S723. The process proceeds to step S724, where the mode type is determined based on the latent suggestion effect determination table B.

  In step S723, the latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1 is extracted, and based on the extracted latent suggestion effect type determination random number SR1 and the determination value stored in the latent suggestion effect determination table B, the “day mode” is selected. ”Or“ Night Mode ”is determined as described above according to the type of hit (probable big hit B or small hit).

  In step S724, after changing the background of the display screen of the effect display device 9 to the background image of the mode determined in step S723 or step S730, in the variable display that is the hit specified by the display symbol designation command A two-dimensional code output screen shown in FIG. 29C is displayed, which has a two-dimensional code including a display symbol pattern of the special symbol of the derived display result and presence / absence information on the operation unit 50 in the latent suggestion effect. (Step S725).

  Specifically, when the night mode is determined in step S723 or step 730, the background image is updated to the night image as shown in FIG. 29 (c-1) (in the case of the night mode). The night mode is maintained as it is), and a screen where a predetermined character speaks the message “Yeah, may be strange!” Is displayed together with the two-dimensional code, while the day mode is set in step S723 or step 730. If it is determined, as shown in FIG. 29 (c-2), the background image is updated to the daytime image (maintained as it is in the daytime mode) and “Sorry, maybe!” A screen where a predetermined character speaks a message is displayed together with a two-dimensional code.

  Then, the two-dimensional code displaying timer is set and the timer count of the set two-dimensional code displaying timer is started (step S726), and then the processing at the time of the interruption is ended.

  In this way, when the two-dimensional code display timer is counting, that is, when the screen of FIG. 29 (c-1) or FIG. 29 (c-2) is displayed, in step S701. After determining Yes and proceeding to step S710, after decrementing the two-dimensional code display timer by -1, it is determined whether or not the two-dimensional code display timer has expired. When the process at the time of interruption is ended, but the timer is up, the process proceeds to step S712, and the screen display including the two-dimensional code of FIG. 29 (c-1) or FIG. 29 (c-2) is ended. Then, the process ends.

  Thus, in the latent suggestion effect process of the present embodiment, the night mode or the day mode is determined according to the presence or absence of the operation of the operation unit 50, and whether or not it is a probable change by shifting to the determined mode. In addition to performing the suggestion effect, a display symbol pattern that is a display result of the special symbol in the immediately preceding variable display and a two-dimensional code including presence / absence information on operation of the operation unit 50 in the latent suggestion effect are displayed and output.

  Next, the cellular phone terminal 1001 used in the present embodiment will be described. The cellular phone terminal 1001 preferably uses a known cellular phone terminal having a wireless communication function and an access function to a server computer of the Internet network. As shown in FIG. 1, these mobile phone terminals 1001 can display a wireless communication unit 1002 for performing wireless communication with a base station, various displays by various information and application programs, and the like. The display unit 1003 controls the operation of the mobile phone terminal 1001 based on the control program, and the control microprocessing unit (MPU) 1004 capable of executing the application program, and the phone number and terminal ID of the mobile phone terminal 1001 Various information and download from server computer 1000 Memory 1005 data of various application programs such as a load discriminant application are stored, an input unit 1006 made of a numeric keypad or the like, the imaging unit 1007 for capturing a 2-dimensional code displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided.

  The discrimination application reads (inputs) a two-dimensional barcode including a display symbol pattern number that can identify a display symbol pattern displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b of the pachinko gaming machine 1. ), A battle effect as a suggestion effect that suggests to the player whether the game state corresponding to the display result (segment pattern number) is a probable change (high probability) state or a non-probable change (low probability) state. After the execution, the player is finally notified of whether the gaming state is either a probability change (high probability) state or a non-probability change (low probability) state.

  Further, when the input display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern corresponding to the probability variation jackpot, the display symbol pattern is stored (accumulated) as a segment collection. In the segment collection, all 50 display symbol patterns corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, which will be described later, can be collected, and the number and number of the input display symbol patterns satisfy a predetermined provision condition described later. In such a case, various benefits corresponding to these are given to the player.

  The discrimination application downloaded from the server computer 1000 and stored in the memory 1005 includes a display symbol pattern table shown in FIG. 34, a winning determination table shown in FIG. 35, and a privilege table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 34, the display symbol pattern table of this embodiment corresponds to the probability variation big hit B and the small hit displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b of the pachinko gaming machine 1. For each of the 100 special symbol display symbol patterns, the gaming state, type, and number of times of input are stored.

  The two-dimensional barcode output from the pachinko machine 1 includes the number of the display symbol pattern, and the display symbol pattern displayed as the display result in the variable display with the probability variation big hit B or small hit is the 2 It can be specified from the number included in the dimension barcode.

  In addition, data of “probability change” and “non-probability change” is stored in the item of the corresponding game state. In this embodiment, pattern 1 is the same as the display symbol pattern determination table of FIG. 16 in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The patterns up to the pattern 50 are “probable change” display design patterns, and the patterns 51 to 100 are the “non-probability change” display design patterns, and the display design patterns specified from the numbers included in the two-dimensional barcode. Is a display symbol corresponding to a probability variation big hit B which is “probability variation” or a display symbol corresponding to a small hit which is “non-probability variation”.

  In the type item, “special”, “lucky”, and “normal” data are stored as the types of display symbol patterns. As described above in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special display symbol pattern has a pattern number of 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, and has a lower probability of being displayed compared to other patterns. . The lucky display design pattern has a pattern number of 33 and is a pattern to which a special privilege is given.

  The number of times of input stores the number of times the probability variation display symbol pattern is input. Each time the two-dimensional barcode including the probability variation display symbol pattern is input (read), 1 is added and updated. The number of times the display symbol pattern is input is counted, and it is possible to specify whether the display symbol pattern of each probability variation has already been input. The number of inputs is not only added, but when input data not registered in the display symbol pattern is input a predetermined number of times (a non-registered pattern is input a predetermined number of times) (If the number of inputs is the same, the number with the smaller number) may be deleted and updated to “0”.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (a), the winning determination table of the present embodiment includes a winning determination table A used when there is no number of inputs (input count = 0), and as shown in FIG. 35 (b). The winning determination table B is used when the number of inputs is present.

  In each of the winning determination tables A and B, as shown in FIG. 35, “probability change (with operation)”, “probability change (without operation)”, “non-probability change (with operation)”, “non-probability change (without operation)” Each decision value corresponding to “winning” and “losing” is stored so as to correspond to the number of decision values shown in FIG. 35, and the decision value and the random number generation module included in the decision app Winning / losing is determined based on a random number in the range of 1 to 100 generated by the program.

  As the number of these determination values (number of determination values), in the case of the winning determination table A used when there is no number of inputs (number of inputs = 0), “probability change (with operation)” The most frequent determination value of “80” is assigned to “winning” and the determination value of “20” is assigned to “losing”, and the determination value of “70” is “winning” and “30” for “probability change (no operation)”. Is assigned to “Lost”, “20” is assigned to “Winning” and “80” is assigned to “Lost” for “Uncertain change (with operation)”. For “probable change (no operation)”, a determination value of “10” is assigned to “winning” and a determination value of “90” is assigned to “losing”.

  Further, in the case of the winning determination table B used when the number of times of input is present (the number of times of input> 0), all the determination values of “100” are assigned to “winning” for “probability change (with operation)” The determination value of “90” is assigned to “winning” and “10” is assigned to “losing” for “probability change (no operation)”, and “50” for “non-probability change (operation)”. The determination value of “25” is assigned to “Lost”, the determination value of “50” is assigned to “Decision”, and the determination value of “25” is “Winning” and “75”. Is assigned to “Lost”.

  In other words, regardless of whether or not the number of inputs is present, if the display symbol pattern is a probabilistic display symbol pattern, more decision values are assigned to “Win” than the number of decision values assigned to “Lost”. Therefore, if it is a display pattern of probability change, it is easy to be won, while if the display pattern is a non-change display pattern, the number of judgment values assigned to `` win '' is Since it is smaller than the number of determination values assigned in the case of “probability change”, it is easier to determine “decision” in the case of a non-probability display pattern than in the case of probability change.

  In both of the winning determination tables A and B, the number of determination values of “winning” corresponding to “probability change (with operation)” and “non-probability change (with operation)” is “probability change (no operation)” and “ By assigning more than the “winning” decision value corresponding to “non-probable change (no operation)”, the operation unit 50 is operated in the latent suggestion effect in the pachinko machine 1 to be identified as “operation present” In this case, it is easier to determine “winning” than when “no operation” is specified.

  Further, as is understood by comparing the winning determination table A and the winning determination table B, the winning determination table B used when there is an input count (input count> 0) has no input count (input). The winning determination table A used for “number of times = 0) is assigned more determination values to“ winning ”, so that the case where there is an input count than the case where there is no input count is“ winning ” It is easy to be determined.

  In this embodiment, the winning determination tables are only two winning determination tables corresponding only to the presence / absence of the number of inputs, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these winning determination tables are input. A larger number of winning determination tables may be used, such as a winning determination table corresponding to 2 to 5 times or a winning determination table corresponding to 6 or more inputs.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the privilege table of the present embodiment, the content of the privilege granted when the grant condition is satisfied is stored in association with each grant condition for which the privilege is granted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 36, the number of display symbol patterns (number of collections) with the number of inputs (reading) being 1 or more (the number of collections) becomes 10, 20, or 30. The standby screen that can be used in the terminal 1001 can be downloaded from the server computer 1000 only once, and any one of “Beginner”, “Intermediate”, and “Advanced” is given.

  Further, when a display symbol pattern (pattern 33) whose type is lucky is input, premium reach image data in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be downloaded from the server computer 1000 only once.

  In addition, when a display symbol pattern (pattern 1, 11, 21, 31, 41) whose type is special is input, a display symbol pattern corresponding to each display symbol pattern, for example, if it is pattern 1, a display symbol. Even if five display symbol patterns from pattern 2 to 6 are not input, it is added to the number of collections, and it is disclosed that the display pattern of the display symbol patterns 2 to 6 is a display symbol pattern with certainty. . In the case of the display symbol pattern 11, the display symbol patterns 12 to 16 are disclosed, in the case of the display symbol pattern 21, the display symbol patterns 22 to 26 are disclosed, and in the case of the display symbol pattern 31, the display symbol pattern 32. -36 are disclosed, and in the case of the display symbol pattern 41, the display symbol patterns 42-46 are disclosed.

  In addition, when the display symbol pattern is in a predetermined combination, for example, when all of the indicator symbol patterns 1 to 10 are continuously input, an incoming melody that can be used by the mobile phone terminal 1001 is received from the server computer 1000. It can be downloaded only once.

  In addition, the combination of display design patterns other than these is made into the provision conditions of a privilege, and these provision conditions and a provision privilege are memorize | stored in the privilege table.

  Here, the processing content of the discrimination application executed in the mobile phone terminal 1001 of the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when the discrimination application is activated by executing a predetermined activation operation in the mobile phone terminal 1001, the control MPU 1004 first includes the presence confirmation processing of the display symbol pattern table of FIG. 34, various effect data, and the like. After performing a predetermined activation process (step S30), a code reading screen for reading the two-dimensional code shown in FIG. 30A is displayed (step S31).

  Then, step S32 and step S47 are carried out to shift to a standby state for monitoring whether there is data input from the data input screen or whether there is a predetermined end operation.

  If a predetermined end operation is performed in this standby state, “Yes” is determined in step S47, and the determination app is ended.

  In the code reading screen of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b are displayed when a hit is made in the pachinko machine 1 being played. The two-dimensional code in which the displayed symbol pattern number of the special symbol and the operation information on the presence / absence of button operation are symbolized is captured and displayed by the imaging unit 1007, and “0” corresponding to “read” is displayed. ".

  As described above, when there is a reading operation, “Yes” is determined in step S32, and the process proceeds to step S32 +, in which whether or not the two-dimensional code has been read satisfactorily, that is, symbolized into a two-dimensional code. When it is determined whether the decoding of the displayed design pattern number and the operation information has been completed without any problem, and when the reading is not successfully performed, the process returns to step S31 while the reading is successfully performed In step S33, the display symbol pattern table shown in FIG. 34 is used to display the display symbol pattern corresponding to the read number, that is, the display symbol pattern displayed and output from the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the latent suggestion effect. The presence / absence of the operation is specified, and the special game state data corresponding to the specified display symbol pattern is The game state to which the displayed symbol pattern belongs is “probability change (high probability)” generated by the game result of the probable big hit or “non-probability change (low probability)” generated by the game result of the normal big hit .

  In the case of specifying these display symbol patterns, if the display symbol pattern corresponding to the read data (number) does not exist in the display symbol pattern table, that is, not the segment pattern displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the player. When a two-dimensional code of a display symbol pattern created arbitrarily is input, as described above, the one with the highest number of inputs in the display symbol pattern table may be deleted, and so on. Thus, by implementing a penalty that reduces the number of collections of display symbol patterns, it may be possible to suppress an increase in the number of unauthorized collections due to input of segment patterns that are not displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  When the result of the determination is “probability change (high probability)”, that is, when the game result is a probable big hit game result in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game state shifts to a probability change state advantageous to the player. Further, it is determined whether or not the type of the specified display symbol pattern is normal (step S34).

  If the type of the display symbol pattern is not normal in the determination, that is, if it is a special or lucky display symbol, the process proceeds to step S48, and an advantageous probability change state is obtained by the victory of the teammate character in the battle effect battle to be executed. After determining the effect A that suggests that, the number of inputs corresponding to the specified display symbol pattern is incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step S39.

  On the other hand, if the type of the display symbol pattern is normal in the determination in step S34, the winning / rejecting is determined based on the presence / absence of the operation specified from the read operation information, the extracted random number, and the winning determination table shown in FIG. When a lottery process for determining a loss is performed and the lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S48, and after determining the production A having the highest reliability as the type of the production pattern to be executed, the above-described step S49 is followed. On the other hand, if the lottery is lost, the process proceeds to step S37, where the effect B having lower reliability than the effect A is determined as the type of effect pattern to be executed, and then the process proceeds to step S38.

  That is, when the type of the display symbol pattern specified by the read data is special or lucky, all of them are regarded as winning and the highly reliable production A is determined, while the display symbol specified by the input data When the pattern type is normal, the effect B with low reliability is determined by defeating the lottery. Therefore, an effect with different reliability depending on the type of the display symbol pattern displayed on the pachinko machine 1 is carried. This is implemented in the telephone terminal 1001.

  In the lottery process in step S35, it is determined whether or not the number of times of input of the specified display symbol pattern is 0. If the number of times of input is 0, the winning determination table A is set as the use target table. If the number of times of input is not 0, the winning determination table B is set as the use target table.

  A random value within a range of 1 to 100 generated by the random number generation module program included in the determination application is “operated” from the operation information in the winning determination table A or the winning determination table B set as a target of use. If it is specified, it is determined whether it is a win or a loss depending on whether it corresponds to the “winning” or “losing” judgment value corresponding to “probability change (with operation)”, and from the operation information When “no operation” is specified, it is determined whether it is a win or a loss depending on which of the “winning” and “losing” judgment values corresponding to “probability change (no operation)” .

  Specifically, in the winning determination table A used in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 35A, the specified display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern with certainty, and there is an operation from the operation information. Is determined, the number of determination values determined to be winning is 80, the number of determination values determined to be winning is 20, and the probability of being determined to be winning is high, May be determined.

  Further, when the result of the determination in step S33 is “non-probability change (low probability)”, that is, the game result is a small hit game result in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game state is shifted to a probability change state advantageous to the player. If not, the process proceeds to step S42 to perform a lottery process.

  In the lottery process in step S42, as in step S35 described above, it is determined whether or not the number of times of input of the specified display symbol pattern is 0. If the number of times of input is 0, the winning determination table A is displayed. If it is set as a use target table and the number of inputs is not 0, the winning determination table B is set as the use target table.

  A random value within a range of 1 to 100 generated by the random number generation module program included in the determination application is “operated” from the operation information in the winning determination table A or the winning determination table B set as a target of use. If it is specified, it is determined whether it is a winning or a defeat depending on whether the judgment value of “winning” or “losing” corresponding to “non-probable change (with operation)” corresponds to the operation information If “no operation” is specified from the above, it is determined whether it is a win or a loss depending on whether the “winning” or “losing” judgment value corresponding to “non-probable change (no operation)” is met. decide.

  Specifically, in the winning determination table A used in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 35 (a), the specified display symbol pattern is a non-probable display symbol pattern, and is operated from the operation information. In the case where the presence is specified, the number of determination values determined to be winning is set to 20, and the number of determination values determined to be lost is set to 80. Although the probability of being determined to be lost is high, May be determined to be a winner.

  If the lottery in step S42 is won, it is determined as “Yes” in step S43, and the process proceeds to step S37. After determining the effect B having lower reliability than the effect A as the type of effect pattern to be executed, the identification is performed. 1 is added to the number of times of input corresponding to the displayed design pattern (step S38), and the process proceeds to step S39.

  In step S39, the effect of effect A or effect B determined in step S37 or step S48 is executed. Then, after each effect is performed, as shown in FIG. 31 (f), the process shifts to the operation waiting state of the “detail” or “return” operation section provided on the final screen of the effect (step S40, step S40). S41) When the “return” operation unit is operated, the process returns to step S31. On the other hand, when the “details” operation unit is operated, the operations are shown in FIGS. 32B and 32E. Shifts to the segment detail display process that displays the segment detail screen.

  In the effect execution process in step S39, the number of inputs of the specified display symbol pattern is specified from the display symbol pattern table shown in FIG. 34. If the specified number of inputs is zero, that is, display that has not been input until now. In the case of the symbol pattern, the effect display of the normal length including the fight display shown in FIG. 11 (e) is performed. On the other hand, when the specified number of inputs is not 0, that is, the display that has already been input. In the case of the symbol pattern, a shortened effect display that does not include the fight display shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the lottery in step S42 is lost, it is determined as “No” in step S43, and the process proceeds to step S44. After determining the effect C having lower reliability than the effect B as the type of effect pattern to be executed. The process proceeds to step S45.

  In step S45, the effect C determined in step S44 is executed. Then, after the effect C is performed, as shown in FIG. 31 (g), a transition is made to the operation waiting state of the “return” operation unit provided on the final screen of the effect (step S46). When the operation unit is operated, the process returns to step S31.

Here, about the reliability of the production A, the production B, and the production C performed in the present embodiment,
Based on FIG. 17, the case of “with operation” and “without the number of inputs” will be specifically described. In this embodiment, as described above, the reliability that is a certain change is the effect A> the effect B > The order of production C is shown, and FIG. 37 shows that the reliability of each production is thus obtained.

  First, in the present embodiment, the effects A, effects B, and effects C are determined according to the types of display symbol patterns as described above. Therefore, for each type of display symbol pattern, input (reading) of individual display symbol patterns is performed. ) The table shown in FIG. 37 shows the ratio and the appearance rate of each effect.

  Specifically, when the display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern with certainty and the type is a special or lucky that is not normal (when it is non-normal), as shown in the display symbol pattern table of FIG. Since there are six display symbol patterns out of 100, which is the number of all the display symbol patterns, the ratio of the display symbol patterns having the probability variation and the display symbol pattern whose type is non-normal is 6 / 100.

  Similarly, a ratio of 44/100 is a display symbol pattern that is a display pattern of probability variation and whose type is normal.

  Further, as shown in the display pattern pattern table of FIG. 34, the non-probable display design pattern is also set to 50 display design patterns in the same manner as the display design pattern of probability change. The ratio to be done is 50/100.

  In addition, the appearance ratio of the production A is a display pattern with a certain variation, and when the type is a non-normal display design pattern, as described above, the production A is determined without being drawn. In the case of a display pattern pattern that is 100% and the display pattern pattern is normal and the type is normal, 80% is won by lottery and the production A is determined, so the appearance ratio is 80%. In the case of a non-probable display pattern, the effect A is not determined, so the appearance ratio is 0%.

  In addition, when the appearance ratio of the production B is a display pattern pattern with a certain variation and the type is a non-normal display design pattern, the production A is determined without being selected as described above. If it is 0% and the display pattern pattern is of a certain variation and the type is normal, 20% is lost by lottery and the production B is determined, so the appearance ratio is 20%. In the case of a non-probable display pattern, since 20% is won by lottery and the production B is determined, the appearance ratio is 20%.

  In addition, the appearance ratio of the production C is a display pattern of probability variation, and when the type is a non-normal display design pattern, as described above, the production A is determined without being drawn. In the case of a display pattern pattern of 0%, which is a probability-changing display symbol pattern and the type is normal, the production C is not determined, so the appearance ratio is 0%, and the non-probability variation In the case of the display symbol pattern, 80% is lost by lottery and the production C is determined, so the appearance ratio is 80%.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the probability variation reliability of each effect is a value obtained by dividing the probability of appearance of each effect when the probability is changed by the total probability of appearance of each effect. The reliability of each effect can be calculated based on the input ratio and the appearance ratio of each display symbol pattern shown.

  Specifically, the total probability that the production A appears is the appearance ratio (100%) in the input ratio (6/100) in the case of a display pattern pattern with a probability variation and a non-normal type. The value multiplied by the input ratio (44/100) in the case of the display pattern pattern with normal and the type of display pattern with probability variation, and the display pattern with non-probability variation It is the sum of the value obtained by multiplying the input ratio (50/100) in the case of a pattern by the appearance ratio (0%). The probability that the production A appears in the probability change is a value obtained by multiplying the input ratio (6/100) by the appearance ratio (100%) in the case of the display pattern pattern of the probability change and the type of non-normal. The sum of the input ratio (44/100) multiplied by the appearance ratio (80%) in the case of a display pattern pattern with a probability variation and a normal display pattern pattern. In this case, as shown in FIG. 37, since the value obtained by multiplying the input ratio (50/100) in the case of a non-probable display pattern by the appearance ratio (0%) is 0, the values of the denominator and the numerator Therefore, the reliability of the production A is 100%. That is, when the production A appears, it is surely a change.

  Next, the total probability that the production B appears is obtained by multiplying the input ratio (6/100) by the appearance ratio (0%) in the case of a display pattern pattern with a probability variation of non-normal type. Value, a display symbol pattern of probability variation and a display symbol pattern of normal type, a value obtained by multiplying the input ratio (44/100) by the appearance ratio (20%), and a display symbol pattern of non-probability variation It is the sum of the value obtained by multiplying the input ratio (50/100) in some cases by the appearance ratio (20%). The probability that the production B appears in the probability change is a value obtained by multiplying the input ratio (6/100) by the appearance ratio (0%) in the case of the display pattern pattern of the probability change and the display pattern of the non-normal type. The sum of the input ratio (44/100) multiplied by the appearance ratio (20%) in the case of a display pattern pattern with a probability variation and a normal display pattern pattern. From these values, the probability variation reliability of effect B is about 46,8%, which is lower than 100% of effect A. In other words, the effect B may be determined and appear even in the non-probable display symbol pattern, so that the reliability is lower than the effect A.

  Next, with respect to the effect C, as shown in FIG. 37, the display pattern is a probability variation display pattern with a non-normal type, and the display pattern is a probability variation with a normal type. Since the appearance ratio in the case of the display symbol pattern is 0, the probability that the production C appears when the probability changes is 0. Therefore, the probability variation reliability of the production C is the probability variation reliability of the production B. Lower than 0%. That is, when the production C appears, it is always uncertain.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the probability variation reliability of production A is 100%, the probability variation reliability of production B is 47%, and the probability variation reliability of production C is 0%. > Production B> Production C. As described above, in this embodiment, the probability variation reliability of the effect A is 100%, the probability variation reliability of the effect B is 47%, and the probability variation reliability of the effect C is 0%, but the present invention is limited to this. However, these reliability levels may be set as appropriate.

  In FIG. 37, the case of “operation present” and “no input count” is illustrated, but in the case of “no operation” and “no input count”, “operation present” and “input count present”, In the case of “no operation” and “the number of times of input”, the reliability can be calculated in the same manner.

  Next, an example of the operation status of the discrimination application implemented in the mobile phone terminal 1001 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, when the determination application is activated by performing a predetermined activation operation on the mobile phone terminal 1001, a code reading screen for reading a two-dimensional code is displayed (see FIG. 30A). Then, on the code reading screen, the two-dimensional code displayed on the effect display device 9 of the pachinko machine 1 captured by the imaging unit 1007 is displayed.

  In this embodiment, the two-dimensional code in which the display symbol pattern number is symbolized is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first special symbol indicator 8a, A player inputs a display symbol pattern by using a data input screen for inputting a segment symbol to the display symbol pattern stopped on the second special symbol display unit 8b by using a numeric key assigned to each of the eight segments. You may do it.

  Then, after displaying the entire two-dimensional code picked up by the image pickup unit 1007, when “0” corresponding to “reading” is input, the discrimination application reads the displayed two-dimensional code. Is performed, and a determination process for determining whether or not the display symbol pattern specified by the reading is a display symbol pattern for the probable big hit is performed, and effects A to C (battle effects) corresponding to the determination result are performed. One of them is executed (see FIGS. 31B to 31D).

  Productions A to C are suggestive productions that suggest whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probable change (high probability) state or a non-probability change (low probability) state, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31. In addition, if the player character (drum-kun) and the enemy character (masked wrestler) face each other (see FIG. 30 (e)) and the final result is “win”, the player may have a probable big hit. (See FIG. 31 (f)), and if it is “defeated”, the player is informed that it is a non-probable big hit (see FIG. 31 (g)).

  In the present embodiment, as will be described later, when the input display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern that is a probable big hit, either the effect A or the effect B that wins as a result of the battle is executed and input. If the display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern with a non-probable big hit, either the effect B that wins as a result of the battle or the effect C that loses as a result of the battle is executed. That is, the effect A is an effect that determines that the gaming state is a probable change (high probability) state, the effect C is an effect that determines that the game state is a non-probable change (low probability) state, and the effect B is This is an effect in which it is not known whether the gaming state is a probability variation (high probability) state or a non-probability variation (low probability) state.

  In addition, the enemy character of the production A has a cherry blossom pattern (see FIG. 30B), and the enemy character of the production B has a blue color of the mask (see FIG. 30C). The enemy character has a white cover color (see FIG. 30D), and it is suggested that the expected victory degree differs depending on the color and the pattern.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32 (a), when winning as a result of the battle, by selecting the “details” operation unit displayed under the victory screen, whether or not the gaming state is a certain change (high probability) state. Kaga is notified to the player.

  Specifically, when the input display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern of probability variation big hit B, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), the input segment is displayed, and “probability variation” is displayed below it. "Lucky! I did it!" Is displayed, and it is notified that the gaming state is a probable change (high probability) state. Further, a “Seg Collection” operation unit is displayed below the message, and by selecting the operation unit, the display shifts to the Seg Collection screen shown in FIG.

  On the Seg collection screen, 15 patterns can be selected and displayed from among the display symbol patterns 1 to 50 corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B. If the display symbol pattern input this time is, for example, the pattern 17, the surrounding pattern 11 to 25 are displayed. The display symbol pattern 17 input this time is displayed in an identifiable manner, for example, by being highlighted, and a pattern already input is also displayed.

  In this way, in the discrimination application, the input display symbol pattern is stored in the segment collection, and all 50 display symbol patterns can be collected, and the number and number of the input indicator symbol patterns are shown in FIG. When any one of the conditions shown in the above is satisfied, a privilege corresponding to the condition is given to the player.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 32 (a), if the game is defeated as a result of the battle, the game state is in a non-probable (low-probability) state by selecting the “detail” operation section displayed at the bottom of the defeat screen. Is notified to the player.

  Specifically, when the input display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern with a non-probable big hit, as shown in FIG. 32 (e), the input segment is displayed, and a “small” is displayed below it. A message “winning (non-probability change)” “sorry… please challenge again !!” is displayed to notify that the gaming state is not a probable change (high probability) state. In this case, the key “To Seg Collection” is not displayed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the input display symbol pattern is a display symbol pattern that is a non-probable big hit, it is not stored in the segment collection.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (a), even when the battle is won, the screen shown in FIG. 32 (e) is displayed when the input display design pattern is a display design pattern for a non-probable big hit. Then, it is informed that the gaming state is not a probability change (high probability) state.

  In the case of shifting to the seg collection screen of FIG. 32 (c), for example, when the display symbol pattern is input this time, the number of display symbol patterns (number of collections) that has been input 1 or more is 10 or 20 When the number becomes 30, the screen shifts to the download screen shown in FIG. 33A, and the standby screen that can be used in the mobile phone terminal 1001 can be downloaded from the server computer 1000 only once, One of the titles is given from “Beginner”, “Intermediate” and “Advanced”.

  Specifically, when the number of display symbol patterns is 10, Δ △ stand-by can be downloaded, and the user's title changes from “apprentice” (see FIG. 32C) to “beginner” (FIG. 33). (See (b)). When the number of display symbol patterns is 20, △ standby, which is more popular than △△ standby, can be downloaded, and the title of the user is changed from “Beginner” to “Intermediate”. When the number of display symbol patterns is 30, the probability variable segment list standby, which is more popular than XX standby, can be downloaded, and the title of the user is changed from “intermediate” to “advanced” (FIG. 33 (a)). To be changed).

  In this way, every time the number of collections exceeds a predetermined number, a bonus such as standby image data or title is newly given, and the quality of standby screen data, which is an example of a bonus, is improved, thereby In the expectation that a new privilege will be granted, the game motivation in the pachinko machine 1 will increase, so not only the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be improved, but more segments will be added to increase the number of collections. Can be input effectively, so that opportunities for using the discrimination application can be effectively increased.

  In addition, when the display is shifted to the seg collection screen in FIG. 32C, for example, when a display symbol pattern (pattern 1, 11, 21, 31, 41) whose type is special is input, For example, when the display symbol pattern 21 is input as shown in FIG. 33 (b), even if five display symbol patterns 22 to 26 at that time are not input, the number of collections In addition, a plurality of display symbol patterns corresponding to the probable big hits of the display symbol patterns 22 to 26 are disclosed at a time.

  In the case of display symbol pattern 1, display symbol patterns 2 to 6 are disclosed, in the case of display symbol pattern 11, display symbol patterns 12 to 16 are disclosed, and in the case of display symbol pattern 31, display symbol pattern 32. -36 are disclosed, and in the case of the display symbol pattern 41, the display symbol patterns 42-46 are disclosed.

  Although not specifically shown, as such a privilege, for example, when a display symbol pattern (pattern 33) whose type is lucky is input, premium reach image data in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stored in the server computer 1000 1 It can be downloaded only once.

  In addition, when the display symbol pattern is in a predetermined combination, for example, when all of the indicator symbol patterns 1 to 10 are continuously input, an incoming melody that can be used by the mobile phone terminal 1001 is received from the server computer 1000. It can be downloaded only once.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the two-dimensional code output from the pachinko machine 1 and the number of input times of the player stored in the display symbol pattern table of the mobile phone terminal 1001 constituting the game history information storage means ( Depending on the number of inputs (accumulation history), production A and production B may be implemented, for example, depending on the number of inputs (accumulation history). For example, the stage C may be performed without the stage A and the stage B being implemented, so that it is possible to improve the player's interest in suggesting these advantages and disadvantages.

  Next, a gaming system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, whether the display symbol pattern specified from the input data input (read) to the mobile phone terminal 1001 is a probability variation display symbol pattern or a non-probability variation symbol pattern, etc. It is characterized in that the determination and the determination of the type of display symbol pattern (special, lucky) are performed not on the mobile phone terminal 1001, but on the server computer 1000. The pachinko gaming machine 1 and the mobile phone terminal 1001 having other configurations are characterized. Since the configuration and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment, description of these overlapping configurations is omitted.

  FIG. 39 is a diagram illustrating processing contents in the mobile phone terminal 1001 and the server computer 1000 in the gaming system of the second embodiment.

  Note that the server computer of the second embodiment stores a display symbol pattern table that does not have the input count item in the display symbol pattern table in the first embodiment, and the mobile phone terminal 1001 stores the data of the discrimination application. The input history data including the number and date and time of the inputted display pattern pattern of the probability change is stored, and the mobile phone terminal 1001 can specify the number of collections of segments based on the input history data. .

  In the gaming system of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the code reading screen shown in FIG. 30A is displayed by starting the discrimination application on the mobile phone terminal 1001, and corresponds to “read”. The input operation of the “0” key is accepted (step St1), and the two-dimensional code displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is read in response to the reception of the code reading operation.

  In this way, when the two-dimensional code is read, the mobile phone terminal 1001 (control MPU 1004) determines whether or not the reading is good, and based on the determination application on the condition that the reading is good. A determination request transmission process for transmitting a determination request including the display symbol pattern number which is the read data read to the server computer 1000 is performed (step St2). The read data (display symbol pattern number and operation information) is temporarily stored.

  Receiving the determination request transmitted in the determination request transmission process, the server computer 1000 performs an input data determination process (step Sp1).

  In this input data determination process, the server computer 1000 determines whether or not there is a display symbol pattern corresponding to the display symbol pattern number included in the received determination request, and if so, specifies the display symbol pattern. Based on the game state data corresponding to the specified display symbol pattern, the game state to which the specified display symbol pattern belongs is a “probability change (high probability)” generated by the game result of the probability change big hit B or a small hit game It is determined whether it is “non-probability change (low accuracy)” generated by the result.

  When the display symbol pattern specified in the determination is a display pattern of probability change, it is further determined whether the type of the display symbol pattern of probability change is special, lucky, or normal.

  Then, a reply process is performed for returning the determination result in the input data determination process to the mobile phone terminal 1001 that is the transmission source of the received determination request (step Sp2).

  The determination result returned in the reply process includes the type (special) when the input data is a display symbol pattern, whether it is a probability variation or non-probability display symbol pattern, or a probability variation display symbol pattern. , Lucky, Normal) data.

  After transmitting the determination request, the cellular phone terminal 1001 (control MPU 1004) shifts to a determination result reception waiting state in response to the determination request transmission, and the server computer 1000 returns a determination result response. If it has been detected, the determination result is received (step St3).

  Then, from the received determination result, whether or not the display symbol pattern input to the mobile phone terminal 1001 is a registered display symbol pattern, whether or not it is a probability variation display symbol pattern, normal probability variation display Whether or not it is a symbol pattern is determined by effect type determination processing including steps S34 to S38, steps S42 to S44, and steps S48 to S49 in FIG. 38 of the first embodiment (step St4).

  That is, in the effect type determination process of the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, when the input display pattern is not a normal probability variation display symbol pattern, that is, a special or lucky probability variation display symbol pattern. If it is, the effect A is determined as the type of effect to be performed. If it is a normal probability variation display symbol pattern, the lottery process in step S35 described above is performed. If it is decided and the selection is lost, the production B is decided. In addition, when the input display symbol pattern is not a display pattern with certainty, the lottery process in step S42 described above is performed, and when the winning is determined, the effect B is determined, and when the winner is lost, the effect C is determined. decide.

  Then, similar to step S39 and step S45 in the first embodiment, by performing the effect execution process for executing these determined effects (step St5), the same effects A to C as in the first embodiment are produced in the mobile phone terminal 1001. By being implemented, it is suggested whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 displaying the display symbol pattern input to the mobile phone terminal 1001 is certain or non-probable.

  In addition, in the present Example 2, although the form which performed the effect determination process in the mobile telephone terminal 1001 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, For example, the server computer 1000 is made to each display symbol pattern. The display symbol pattern table according to the first embodiment having the corresponding number of inputs is stored for each player in association with identification information such as the SIM code of the mobile phone terminal 1001 owned by each player. By transmitting a determination request including the SIM code from 1001, the corresponding display symbol pattern table is specified, and using the specified symbol pattern table, step S35 in the first embodiment and the effect type lottery processing in step S42 To determine the type of effect, and use the determined effect type as a determination result to determine the mobile phone terminal that sent the determination request By submitting to 001, rendering the types determined by the server computer 1000, it may be carried out in the mobile phone terminal 1001.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the server computer 1000 determines whether the display pattern patterns 1 to 50 are probable or non-probable display pattern patterns 51 to 100. Since it is not necessary to provide each mobile phone terminal 1001 with data to be performed, not only can the storage capacity required for the mobile phone terminal 1001 be reduced, but also the inconvenience that data for making these determinations is analyzed. It is possible to prevent this, and when changing the data used for these determinations, it is not necessary to update the data of each mobile phone terminal 1001, and only the data of the server computer 1000 needs to be updated. Can be implemented.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the two-dimensional code output from the pachinko machine 1 and the player's input count (accumulation) stored in the display symbol pattern table of the server computer 1000 that constitutes the game history information storage means. Based on the (history), for example, the ratio at which the effects A and B are performed differs, that is, the effects A and B may be performed depending on the number of inputs (accumulation history). Since the stage C may be performed without the stage A and the stage B being performed, it is possible to improve the player's interest in suggesting these advantages and disadvantages.

  Next, a gaming system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment, the player inputs a password that can specify game history data including special symbol data acquired to the pachinko machine 1 at the start of the game, and the like. When the hit occurs, the pachinko machine 1 performs the effect type determination process including the effect type lottery process (steps S35 and S42) in the first embodiment based on the special symbol data acquired by the player, By outputting the two-dimensional code including the data of the effect type determined by the effect type determining process on the two-dimensional code output screen shown in FIG. 29C, the effects A to A determined by the pachinko machine 1 One of the effects C is characterized in that the effect is performed by the mobile phone terminal 1001. Other configurations of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the configuration of the mobile phone terminal 1001, and the like are the same as in the first embodiment. Runode, a description thereof will be omitted of the configuration of these duplicate.

  As described above, the ROM mounted on the production control microcomputer 100 of the pachinko machine 1 of the third embodiment is implemented so that the production control CPU 101 can perform the production type determination process. The winning determination tables A and B shown in FIG. 35 stored in the mobile phone terminal 1001 in Example 1 are stored, and the types of display symbol data (“special”, “lucky”, and “normal”) are set. A display symbol pattern table of FIG. 34 for determination is stored.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 40, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of inputting a password capable of specifying the game history data of each player, and at the end of the game, a new game A two-dimensional code including history data can be output, and these functions will be described.

  Note that in a predetermined storage area of the RAM mounted on the effect control microcomputer 100, a game history table for storing a player's game history (starting count, number of jackpots, effect parameters, etc.) An acquisition number table is provided in which the number of acquisitions is stored in association with the display symbol pattern number, and game history data specified from the input password is stored in these game history tables, and the acquisition number table The number of acquisitions specified from the password entered in is stored, and by executing the game, each data in the game history table and the acquisition number table is updated and stored in the game history table and the acquisition number table at the end of the game A two-dimensional code based on the game history data is displayed and output.

  When inputting a password that can identify the game history data or displaying a two-dimensional code including the game history data, a predetermined operation (for example, the operation of the operation unit 50 is performed for a predetermined time in a state where the game is not performed). The management server (same as the server computer 1000) that selects the input of the password from the menu screen shown in FIG. 40A displayed on the effect display device 9 by performing the long press operation that continues as described above, and manages the game history. By entering the password issued at the same time, it is possible to play the game by taking over the production parameters changed by the game, game information such as the total start count and total jackpot count, etc. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 41, the password includes a player ID serving as player identification information that can individually identify each player, model information that can specify the model, game history data such as the number of jackpots and production parameters, and the like. Predetermined length (16 characters in this embodiment) of binary data including acquisition special figure data including the number of acquisitions of a probability variable display symbol pattern (probability variable special pattern) is associated with binary data in a predetermined array. It is converted to the symbol string.

  On the menu screen displayed on the effect display device 9 of the pachinko machine 1 of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40 (a), “password input”, “password output”, “individual game data”, “return” ”Are provided, and the item to be selected (displayed with a thick frame) can be changed by operating the operation unit 50, and the item to be selected is related to The explanation is displayed in a separate window.

  The player operates the operation unit 50 to set a desired item as a selection target displayed in a thick frame, and then presses the operation unit 50 for a long time to confirm the selection of the item. Processing according to is performed.

  Specifically, when the “password input” item is selected, password input processing for accepting the password input is performed, and when the “password output” item is selected, it is stored in the game information table. Password output processing for generating and outputting a password based on each data that has been performed is performed, and when the “individual game data” item is selected, each data stored in the game information table is rendered A personal game data display process for display on the display device 9 is performed, and when the “return” item is selected, a process for ending the menu operation process is performed.

  In the password input process performed when the “password input” item is selected, the password acceptance screen shown in FIG. 40B is displayed and managed by the management server issued by the management server. A password that allows the player to specify the game history is received.

  On the password acceptance screen, as shown in FIG. 40 (b), a password input unit in which the input password (symbol string) is displayed, and an input selection unit in which a symbol list is displayed for selecting a symbol to be input. , Select the “forward” selection input part to operate when confirming the password to enter the symbol string displayed in the password input part, and “return” to operate to return to the password acceptance screen after finishing the password input process And a selection input unit.

  In this password acceptance screen, the player operates the operation unit 50 to select a symbol to be displayed on the password input unit from the input selection unit, display the password to be input on the password input unit, and then “Proceed” By selecting and inputting the selection input unit, the symbol string displayed in the password input unit is determined as the password to be input, and the password analysis process is performed.

  In the password output process performed when the item “password output” is selected, as shown in FIG. 40 (c), various game information data stored in the game information table at that time and the number-of-acquisition table The number-of-acquisition display pattern data acquired for each probability, the password generated based on the player ID and model information, the data of various game information stored in the game information table, and the number of acquisitions A password output screen including a two-dimensional barcode for reflecting the number of times of acquisition of the display symbol pattern of each probability variation stored in the table to the player database of the management server is displayed.

  In the personal game data output process performed when the item “personal game data” is selected, a personal game data screen (not shown) including each data stored in the game information table at that time is displayed on the effect display device 9. By doing so, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can confirm each data such as the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, and the production parameters stored in the game information table.

  The production parameters are data for specifying the levels of various characters that appear in various productions performed by the pachinko machine 1.

  Here, the password and password analysis processing used in the third embodiment will be described. Note that in a ROM (not shown) mounted on the production control microcomputer 100, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), symbols constituting the password (alphanumeric characters: 10 types, Roman letters (uppercase letters): 26 A password analysis table in which numerical values of 0 to 61 are defined in correspondence with types, Roman letters (lower case letters: total of 26 types, 62 types) is stored.

  The production control CPU 101 first determines whether or not the symbol string received on the password acceptance screen has a predetermined number of symbols (16 symbols) corresponding to the password format, and the received symbol string is not 16 symbols. If the received symbol string is not a password, the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the accepted symbol string is 16 symbols, the password accepted on the password acceptance screen is first replaced with the corresponding numerical value (decimal number) with reference to the password analysis table. Next, the replaced numerical value (decimal number) is further converted into a 6-digit (6-bit) binary number, and the first bit of the binary number corresponding to each symbol (specifically, the first bit, the seventh bit, and the 13th bit) The value (16 bits) assigned to the eyes, the 19th bit,...) Is extracted as a player ID and stored (stored) in a predetermined storage area (player ID storage area).

  Then, 50-bit data excluding the first bit corresponding to the player ID is extracted as game history data from the binary numeric string corresponding to the upper 10 symbols.

  The game history data includes model information that can identify the model that output the password, total start count, total jackpot A count, total jackpot B count, total jackpot count, total probability variation count, performance parameters, and additional performance information. Etc. are included.

  Further, 30-bit data excluding the first bit corresponding to the player ID is extracted as acquired special figure data from the binary numeric string corresponding to the lower 6 symbols.

  These acquired special figure data include data of the number of times the player has acquired for each special symbol of probability variation (50 display symbol pattern numbers corresponding to probability variation big hit B).

  And based on these extracted data, a game history table and an acquisition frequency table are updated.

  In the above, the flow of extracting the player ID, the game history data, and the acquired special figure data from the input password has been described with reference to FIG. 41. However, by performing these processes in reverse, the player It is possible to generate a password to be output from the ID, game history data, and acquired special chart data. That is, the game history data (50 bits) and the acquired special figure data (30 bits) are divided every 5 bits, and the player ID (16 bits) is sequentially added to the head position of each 5 bits, A password to be output can be generated by converting each 6 bits into a corresponding symbol based on the password analysis table.

  In this embodiment, together with these passwords, the URL address of the data registration page for reflecting the password, the game history data converted into the password, and the acquired special figure data in the player database of the management server are symbolized. The two-dimensional code is generated and displayed as a password output screen as shown in FIG. 40 (c), and the two-dimensional code is automatically read by the mobile phone 1001 carried by the player. By accessing the management server and receiving distribution of a data registration page (not shown), the password symbolized in the two-dimensional code is automatically input to the password input section provided on the data registration page, Reflecting game history data and acquired special chart data to the player database can be easily implemented.

  Here, based on FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, the flow in which the suggestive effect is performed in the mobile phone 1001 when the probability variation big hit B or the small hit occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the third embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 42, in the pachinko machine 1, when the player starts the game, as described above, by inputting the password issued by the management server, the game is displayed in the acquired special figure table. The number of acquired special maps is reflected.

  Thus, in the state where the number of times of the player's acquired special chart is reflected in the acquired special chart table, when a probable big hit B or small hit occurs due to the player's game, the pachinko machine 1 shows in FIG. When the latent suggestion effect 2 shown is executed, the two-dimensional code including the effect type (any of the effects A to C) determined in the latent suggestion effect 2 is the two-dimensional code shown in FIG. By outputting the two-dimensional code on the output screen and reading the two-dimensional code with the mobile phone 1001, the effect of the effect type specified by the two-dimensional code is performed on the mobile phone 1001 by the discrimination application.

  Here, with regard to the latent suggestion effect 2 of the third embodiment, the effect type determination process in step S725A, which is different from the latent suggestion effect of the first embodiment, will be mainly described.

  In the latent suggestion effect 2 of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 43, after the background image is updated to the mode (day mode or night mode) determined in step S723 or step S730 (step S724), step S725A is performed. Then, the effect type determination process for determining the effect type to be executed by the mobile phone terminal 1001 is performed.

  In the effect type determination process according to the third embodiment, whether the display symbol pattern of the special symbol of the display result derived and displayed in the variable display corresponding to the hit specified by the display symbol designation command is a normal probability variation display symbol pattern. If it is not a normal probability variation display symbol pattern, that is, if it is a special or lucky probability variation symbol pattern, the type of effect to be performed In the case where the effect A is determined and the display pattern pattern is a normal probability variation display pattern, as performed in step S35 in the first embodiment described above, if there is no input number of the display pattern pattern, the winning determination table If a lottery using A is performed and the number of times the display symbol pattern is input exists, the winning determination is made. Lottery process is carried out to implement the lottery using Buru B, it determines the effect A when winning, when rejected determines the effect B. Further, when the display symbol pattern specified from the display symbol designation command is not a display symbol pattern with certainty, as in the above-described step S42, if there is no input number of the display symbol pattern, the winning determination is made. When a lottery is performed using the table A and the number of times of input of the display symbol pattern is present, a lottery process for performing a lottery using the winning determination table B is performed. If it is decided and lost, the production C is decided.

  And it progresses to step S725b and the two-dimensional code output screen shown in FIG.29 (c) which has the two-dimensional code containing the data of the effect type determined in step S725A is displayed (step S725B).

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the two-dimensional code output screen in this way by the discrimination application of the mobile phone terminal 1001, and thereby the effects specified from the read data (effect A, effect B, effects (Any of C) is implemented similarly to the case of Example 1 (refer FIGS. 30-33).

  In the third embodiment, by inputting the password, each player can input the display symbol pattern based on the acquired special symbol table data, which is the number of times of acquisition of the special symbol of probability change acquired in the previous game. By using different winning determination tables depending on whether or not the number of times is present, the winning percentage is different, so that the number of times acquired in the game before the game of the pachinko machine 1 in the game However, the winning percentage is different, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the special symbol of the probable change obtained in the game with the pachinko machine 1 without entering the password. Only the number of acquisitions is stored in the acquisition special figure table, and the acquisition number of the acquisition special figure table, that is, the acquisition time of the special symbol acquired by the pachinko machine 1 in the game. Only it may be to implement the lottery process based on.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, whether the display result of variable display is a display pattern pattern of probability change or display pattern pattern of non-probability change is stored in the acquired special chart table serving as a game history information storage means. Depending on the number of input (accumulation history) of each special symbol of probability variation, the ratio at which the suggestion effect is performed is different, that is, when the effect A and the effect B are performed depending on the number of input (accumulation history) If there is, the production C may be implemented without the production A and the production B, so that it is possible to improve the player's interest in suggesting these advantages and disadvantages.

  Further, according to each embodiment, the display result is the same as the display result displayed in the past, which may have already known whether the player is in an advantageous state or an unfavorable state. In other words, in the case where the number of times of input exists, by using the winning determination table B, which has a larger number of determination values assigned compared to the winning determination table A, the effect A or Since stage B will be implemented, for example, a suggestion suggesting that the player is in an advantageous state despite knowing that the player is already in an unfavorable state It is possible to avoid that the interest of the player regarding the suggestion of advantages / disadvantages is significantly reduced by performing the effect A and the suggestion effect B in vain.

  Further, according to each embodiment, the rate at which the effects A and effects B, which are suggested effects, are executed or determined in the mobile phone terminal 1001 also changes depending on the presence / absence of an operation based on operation information, which is game information of a predetermined item. As a result, the player's willingness to obtain game information of these predetermined items can be stimulated so that the suggestion effect is executed or determined, which can contribute to the promotion of the operation of the gaming machine. At the same time, the player can be involved not only in the production by the operation of the operation unit 50 but also in the execution of the suggestion production in the mobile phone terminal 1001 by the operation of the operation unit 50. It is possible to improve the interest of the player regarding the suggestion of advantage / disadvantage.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, in the mobile phone terminal 1001, it is specified whether the display symbol pattern specified from the two-dimensional code is a display symbol pattern with probability variation or a display symbol pattern with non-probability variation. Therefore, as in the second embodiment, access to the server computer 1000 for performing these determinations can be ensured even in a difficult situation due to the inability to communicate with the mobile phone terminal 1001. Suggestion effects can be implemented.

  In addition, according to the second embodiment, the server computer 1001 specifies whether the display symbol pattern specified from the two-dimensional code is a display symbol pattern of probability variation or a display symbol pattern of non-probability variation. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide each mobile phone terminal 1001 with data for making these determinations, not only can the storage capacity required for the mobile terminal 1001 be reduced, but also for making these determinations. In addition to preventing the inconvenience of data being analyzed, it is not necessary to update the data of each mobile phone terminal 1001 when changing the data used for these determinations, and it is only necessary to update the data of the server computer 1000. Therefore, these updates can be easily performed.

  In addition, according to each embodiment, since the implementation ratio of the effect A, for example, the effect A is different depending on the type of display pattern pattern of probability change (normal or non-normal (lucky, special)) The player's interest in the display symbol pattern can be improved.

  Moreover, according to each Example, since the privilege which changes according to whether the classification of the display pattern patterns 1-50 of probability change is special or lucky, it becomes a player's interest with respect to a display symbol pattern. Can be improved.

  Further, according to each embodiment, since a privilege is given by the number or combination of display symbol patterns in which one or more input times are stored, in order to receive the privilege, the player can display the symbol. Since an attempt is made to input a pattern, the player's willingness to play can be aroused and the player's interest in these displayed symbol patterns can be improved.

  Further, according to each embodiment, if an inappropriate display symbol pattern that does not correspond to any of the display symbol patterns 1 to 100 is input, the number of times of input is deleted, and thus the input of the inappropriate identification information is suppressed. can do.

  Further, according to each embodiment, by inputting a special display symbol pattern, it is possible to know that a display symbol pattern that has not been input by the player is a display symbol pattern that is advantageous for the player. Therefore, the player can be given an expectation that the display symbol pattern that has been known to be a display symbol pattern with a certain probability will be displayed, so that the interest of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be improved.

  Further, according to each embodiment, there is a probability variation display design pattern whose normal type is easy to be displayed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and a probability variation display design pattern whose special type is difficult to display. The player's interest in the pattern can be improved.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the embodiment, the effects A to C are performed as the suggestion effects to be performed in the mobile phone terminal 1001, but if the configuration in which the effects C are not performed, that is, the effect C is determined, It is also possible not to carry out the production.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the reading of the two-dimensional code in the cellular phone terminal 1001 is not limited, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reading of the two-dimensional code is performed for a predetermined period, for example, 1 By limiting the number of display symbol patterns that can be added to the collection by limiting the number to the upper limit (for example, five times) in a day, the player's game after the next day can be aroused. good.

  In addition, the reading of the two-dimensional code in the mobile phone terminal 1001 can be performed only during the business hours of the game hall, and by restricting the reading of the two-dimensional code outside the business hours of the game hall, it is inappropriate for the player. You may make it prevent reading of a two-dimensional code.

  In the embodiment, it is possible to continuously read a plurality of two-dimensional codes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 In, a big hit cannot occur continuously in a short time such as 1 minute, for example. Therefore, the reading of a two-dimensional code which is impossible in this period is judged and input based on the input history etc. You may make it restrict | limit. Specifically, when transitioning to a probable change state, there is a possibility that two-dimensional code readings will continue in the period controlled to the big hit gaming state because the big hit occurs again immediately after the big hit ends. Even if there is no possibility of three consecutive, there is no need to limit the reading of three or more two-dimensional codes within a period (for example, 5 minutes) controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, since the player may input incorrectly, in consideration of these input mistakes, when input data other than the display symbol pattern registered in the display symbol pattern table is input, Although no penalty is imposed, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a two-dimensional code including a display symbol pattern number that is not registered in the display symbol pattern table is read. May be deleted (updated to 0), for example, for the input pattern number of the probability variation display pattern pattern with the largest number of inputs. In this case, in the case where the same unregistered display symbol pattern is continuously input or when different unregistered display symbol patterns are input a plurality of times (for example, three times), You may make it delete the number of inputs of all the display symbol patterns (update to 0).

  Moreover, in the said Example, in the case of the production A and the production B, that is, the number of inputs is added on condition that it is the production that wins the fight, the display symbol pattern is added to the collection. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case where a lottery for determining whether or not to make a premier effect at the time of determining the effect is further performed, and the premier effect is performed by winning the premier effect Only the number of inputs may be added to the collection.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the content according to the collection according to the collection of a display design pattern illustrated the form where the content of production does not change, this invention is not limited to this, These titles (level) It may be possible to improve the player's motivation for promotion by changing the contents of the performance in response to the promotion.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the provision of privilege is implemented on condition that all the continuous display design patterns 1-1 etc. which are different display design patterns are input, this invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, as shown in the display symbol pattern 22 in FIG. 34, a privilege may be given on the condition that the same display symbol pattern 22 is input three times or more, which is a predetermined number of times.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the input frequency | count of the non-probable display symbol pattern is not totaled in a display symbol pattern table, this invention is not limited to this, The input frequency of these non-probable variable symbol patterns Also, depending on the total number of these non-probable display pattern patterns and the ratio to the display pattern patterns with certainty, etc., a privilege or a title is given (for example, the total number of non-probable display pattern patterns is 25 or more. In such a case, the title of the defeated champion may be given).

  In addition, the non-probable display pattern pattern is all normal type, but the present invention is not limited to this, the display pattern pattern of the unlucky type is provided in the non-probable display pattern pattern, When a display symbol pattern of an unlucky type is input, the title may be demoted or the collection may be deleted.

  Moreover, in the said Example, when the input display design pattern is displayed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, there is a relation between the effect displayed on the effect display device 9 and the effect displayed on the mobile phone terminal 1001. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention is not limited to this, and when determining the display symbol pattern to be displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1, characters to be displayed on the effect display device 9 corresponding to each display symbol pattern are displayed. In addition to performing the effect display by the determined character, the mobile phone terminal 1001 also specifies the character corresponding to the display symbol pattern specified from the input data, and effects A to C by the specified character. So that the effects in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the effects in the mobile phone terminal 1001 are linked. It may be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the display symbol pattern determination table is only one. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the period (for example, after the announcement of the gaming machine) A plurality of display symbol pattern determination tables that are different from each other in the contents of the display symbol pattern, and are associated with the pachinko gaming machine 1 Is mounted with a real-time clock (RTC) which is a clock means capable of outputting date / time information, and a display symbol pattern is determined using a display symbol pattern determination table for a period corresponding to date / time information output from the real-time clock (RTC). By changing the display symbol pattern for each period, it becomes necessary to collect the display symbol pattern again. Unishi Te, it may be possible to prevent that cause fading interest of the player to the game machine by that period of time after the sale has elapsed.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the discrimination application is distributed in the server computer 1000 which forms the manufacturer site of the pachinko gaming machine 1, or the determination result is distributed, the present invention is not limited to this, The distribution of the determination application and the distribution of the determination result may be performed by a server computer other than the manufacturer of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the carrying which reads the two-dimensional code containing the display symbol pattern number displayed on the 1st special symbol display 8a and the 2nd special symbol display 8b of the pachinko machine 1 was illustrated, this invention However, as described above, each segment of the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b is assigned to each numeric keypad of the mobile phone terminal 1001 and displayed by these numeric keys. The discrimination application can be used by inputting a symbol pattern or capturing an image of the symbol pattern displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b with a camera provided in the mobile phone terminal 1001. The player can read out the displayed number and input it by voice by recognizing the displayed symbol pattern or by displaying the input number on the effect display device 9. Alternatively, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with an infrared communication unit that outputs input data to be input to the mobile phone terminal 1001 by infrared rays, and the input data transmitted from the infrared communication unit is input to the mobile phone terminal 1001 You may do it.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the discrimination application discriminates whether the input display symbol pattern corresponds to the probability variation big hit B or the small hit, but the present invention is not limited to this. The input display design pattern is either a first gaming state that is advantageous to the player or a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first gaming state and is difficult to distinguish from the first gaming state. Any display pattern can be used as long as it can be identified.

  Specifically, for example, the input display symbol pattern has a larger number of acquired balls during the big hit than the first big hit gaming state and the first big hit gaming state (for example, a round of a big prize opening with a large number of rounds). It is possible to determine which pattern corresponds to the second big hit game state), or when the game state after the big hit is controlled to a high base state. It is possible to determine whether the state is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state, and when the game state after a big hit is both controlled to a high base state, a variable display controlled to a high base state It may be determined whether the pattern corresponds to the first short time state where the number of times is large or the second short time state where the number of variable display times controlled to the high base state is small. After completion of the technique state time reduction (high base) state and a non-time reduction may be configured to determine whether the display symbol pattern that is controlled in any of the (low-based) state.

  In the above embodiment, as an example of the gaming machine of the present invention, a pachinko gaming machine that uses a pachinko ball (game medium) as a gaming value is applied, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using game media such as medals and game balls, and game values such as credits, and each can be identified. One game is completed when a display result is derived to a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of possible types of identification information, and a winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device. In addition to the variable display device, the present invention can also be applied to a slot machine including an effect display device that performs a predetermined effect display in accordance with variable display of the variable display device.

  In the embodiment, the mobile phone terminal 1001 is exemplified as the mobile terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mobile terminal is a computer terminal that can be carried by a player. Any communication function capable of accessing the server computer 1000 and an input data input function may be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the production B in which the enemy character with the blue mask appears, the fighting effect as the tilted effect is displayed, and in the production C in which the enemy character with the white mask appears, it is being determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and defeats the fighting effect at a predetermined rate in the production B in which the enemy character with the blue mask appears. Depending on the type of enemy characters that appear, will the final victory be achieved by making the fighting effect sometimes win at a predetermined rate in the effect C where the white-faced enemy character appears? Or, by making it difficult to determine whether it will be defeated, in the fighting performance shown in 31 (e), the player's feelings about which win or defeat will be more, It may be capable of uplifting layer effectively.

  In addition, as the first gaming state and the second gaming state in the present invention, it is preferable that the player controls the presentation so that it is difficult to identify which gaming state it is, but the first gaming state and the second gaming state are not necessarily limited. It is not necessary for the period with the state to be substantially the same. For example, even when the number of game media that the player can acquire is different because the number of rounds is different (for example, 5 rounds and 10 rounds), A state in which it is difficult to distinguish from the first gaming state until the fifth round, which is the second gaming state, is completed because the opening control of the big winning opening is the same control content. That is, as the second gaming state that is difficult to distinguish from the first gaming state, it is sufficient that both gaming states include at least a period during which the same control content is implemented.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the ratio of the production A and production B which wins a fighting effect is changed by implementing the production C which defeats a fighting production, this invention is limited to this. As described above, it is possible to change only the ratio of the production A and the production B without implementing the production C, as well as the production C and other types of production D and production E. By performing the above, the ratio of the production A and the production B may be changed.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko machine 1 is illustrated as a gaming machine, this invention is not limited to this, This invention can be applied also to other gaming machines, such as a slot machine. it can. Hereinafter, a case where the present invention is applied to a slot machine which is an example of another gaming machine will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. 44 to 46.

  FIG. 44 is a front view of a slot machine 1001 to which the present invention is applied. The slot machine 1001 includes a housing 1001a having an open front surface and a front surface pivotally supported by a side end of the housing 1001a. Door 1001b.

  Inside the casing 1001a of the slot machine 1001, reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R (hereinafter, left reel, middle reel, and right reel) in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer periphery are juxtaposed in a horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 44, three consecutive symbols among the symbols arranged on the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are arranged so as to be seen from the see-through window 1003 provided on the front door 1001b.

  When a game is played in the slot machine 1001 of this embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion unit 1004, or credits are used to set the number of bets.

The winning line L2 set in the above, the winning line L3 set across the symbols arranged in the lower stage of each reel 1002L, 1002C, 1002R, the upper stage of the reel 1002L, the middle stage of the reel 1002C, the lower stage of the reel 1002R, that is, lower right. There are five types of winning lines: a winning line L4 set across the arranged symbols, a lower stage of the reel 1002L, a middle stage of the reel 1002C, an upper stage of the reel 1002R, that is, a winning line L5 set across the symbols arranged in the upward direction. It is defined as.

  When the start switch 1007 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R continuously change. When one of the stop switches 1008L, 1008C, 1008R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 1002L, 1002C, 1002R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3.

  Then, when all the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are stopped, one game is finished, and a combination of symbols (hereinafter also referred to as roles) that are validated and predetermined on the winning line are each reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R. When the display result is stopped, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 1009 (see FIG. 44). In addition, when a combination of symbols with payout of medals is arranged on a plurality of winning lines that are activated, the number of payouts determined for each of the combinations of symbols that are activated and aligned on the winning line is totaled, The total number of medals will be awarded to the player. However, an upper limit (15 in this embodiment) is set for the number of medals to be awarded in one game, and when the total number of medals exceeds the upper limit, the upper limit number of medals is awarded. It will be. In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanied by the transition of the gaming state is stopped as a display result of each reel 1002L, 1002C, 1002R on the winning line, the gaming state is shifted according to the combination of symbols. ing.

  The main CPU 1041a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, and executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 1041b to perform various control processes related to the progress of the game. In addition, each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 1040 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 1041b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 1041a and various tables. The RAM 1041c is used as a work area when the main CPU 1041a executes a program. The I / O port 1041d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 1041.

  The main control unit 1041 is also supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 1041c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 1041a transmits various commands to the effect control board 1090 via the I / O port 1041d.

  An effect switch 1056 is connected to the effect control board 1090, and when the detection signal corresponding to each direction of the cross key in the effect switch 1056 is input, the effect control board 1090 is operated by the player. It is possible to grasp the specified direction according to presence / absence and operation.

  The effect control board 1090 includes an effect display device 1050 having an image liquid crystal panel 1051 (see FIG. 44) disposed on the front door 1001b of the slot machine 1001, an effect effect LED 1052, a speaker as shown in FIG. 1053 (see FIG. 45) and the above-described effect devices such as the reel LED 1055 are connected, and these effect devices are driven based on control by a sub-control unit 1091 described later mounted on the effect control board 1090. It is like that.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 1091 mounted on the effect control board 1090 controls the output of the effect devices such as the image liquid crystal panel 1051, effect effect LED 1052, speakers 1053, 1054, and reel LED 1055. However, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 1090 or another board separately from the sub control part 1091, and the sub control part 1091 is based on a command from the main control part 1041. The output pattern of the effect device may be determined, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 1091. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 1091 and the output are controlled. The output control of the effect device is performed by both of the control units.

  In the present embodiment, the image liquid crystal panel 1051, the effect effect LED 1052, the speakers 1053 and 1054, and the reel LED 1055 are illustrated as the effect devices.

In addition to performing various controls for performing the above, each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 1090 is controlled directly or indirectly.

  The slot machine 1001 is activated when all the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are stopped (in the present embodiment, since all the winning lines are always activated, in the following, it is activated). The winning line is simply called a winning line), and a combination of symbols called “comb” is combined to win. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that allows the next game to be started without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. A small role and a replay role are collectively called a general role. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 1007 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, when the start switch 1007 is detected, an internal lottery random value (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value It is performed according to the number of judgment values of each combination determined according to

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (a lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  When the main control unit 1041 effectively detects one of the stop switches 1008L, 1008C, and 1008R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When any of the stop switches 1008L, 1008C, and 1008R corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively, the area number of the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected. And the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is obtained by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the region corresponding to the region number that is the stop position that is the number of sliding frames ahead of the region corresponding to the region number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 1003 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  If you win any of the winning roles, the maximum number of winning symbols will be drawn on the winning line in the range of 4 frames, and the number of sliding symbols will be determined so that the winning characters will not be aligned on the winning line. A stop control table is created and reel stop control is performed.If none of the winning combinations is won, a stop control table with a number of sliding symbols that does not match any of the roles is created and the reels are controlled. Perform stop control. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In addition, the slot machine 1001 according to the present embodiment has an assist time (so-called AT) that is a notification period in which the sub-control unit 1091 can execute a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result when the gaming state is a predetermined state. The effect state is controlled, and in these AT states, the internal winning winning combination can be won almost certainly, so that it becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player.

  FIG. 46 shows an example of a combination generated in the slot machine 1001. The slot machine 1001 includes a mission bonus 1 and a mission bonus 2 as special combinations, an AT winning combination 1 and AT that shift to the AT state described above. The winning combination 2 can be generated.

  The mission bonus 1 is generated when the display result of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R is a combination of symbols of black 7-BER-special replay 1, and then ends when the total payout number becomes A. . The mission bonus 2 is generated when the display result of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R is a combination of black 7-BER-special replay 2, and then ends when the total payout number is B. . Here, in the slot machine 1001, A> B, and the mission bonus 1 is more advantageous for the player.

  The special replay 1 and the special replay 2 are both replay symbols, and only a part of the symbols are different, and are almost the same symbols, and the player identifies which symbol is the symbol. Since the design is difficult, it is difficult to discriminate whether the display result is the mission bonus 1 or the mission bonus 2.

  Further, the AT winning combination 1 shifts to the AT state when the display result of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R becomes a combination of cherry-bell 1 and bell 1 symbols, and then, by digesting the predetermined number of games C The AT state ends. The AT winning combination 2 shifts to the AT state when the display result of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R becomes the combination of cherry-bell 1 and bell 2 and then the AT state by digesting the predetermined number of games D. Ends. Here, in the slot machine 1001, C> D, and the AT winning combination 1 is an advantageous AT combination for the player.

  The bell 1 and the bell 2 are both bell symbols, and the symbols are almost the same except that only a part of the symbols are different, and it is difficult for the player to identify which symbol the symbol is. Thus, the display result is a difficult-to-recognize combination that is difficult to determine whether it is the AT winning combination 1 or the AT winning combination 2.

  When the winning of the mission bonus 1 or the mission bonus 2 is determined in the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 1091 selects, for example, an effect display device 1050 from a plurality of effects set in advance over a plurality of games. In addition, there may be a case where a common continuous production is performed in which a specific character A appears and plays a battle.

  When the winning of AT combination 1 or AT combination 2 is determined in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 1091, for example, from among a plurality of preset effects, a specific character B appears and plays a battle. There is a case where a common continuous performance is performed.

  Further, the sub-control unit 1091 displays the above-described effect control microcomputer 100 of the pachinko machine 1 when the display result of the mission bonus 1 and the mission bonus 2 and the display result of the AT combination 1 and the AT combination 2 are derived and displayed. Similarly, whether the mission bonus 1 is advantageous to the player or whether the AT role 1 is advantageous to the player is changed in the background of the effect display device 1050 according to the operation of the effect switch 1056. In the suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 44, display result information that can specify the display results of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R (corresponding to the display symbol pattern of the pachinko machine 1), A two-dimensional code including the operation information of the effect switch 1056 in the suggestion effect is displayed on the effect display device 1050. As in the case of the pachinko machine 1, the player reads the displayed two-dimensional code with the mobile phone terminal 1001, so that the role generated in the slot machine 1 has an advantageous mission bonus. The performance suggesting whether or not it is 1 or AT role 1 is performed at a different rate depending on whether or not there is a history of reading the same display result up to that time.

  As described above, the main control unit 1041 of the slot machine 1001 corresponds to the game control microcomputer 560 in the pachinko machine 1, and can perform the same processing as the game control microcomputer 560 described above. The sub-control unit 1091 of the machine 1001 corresponds to the production control microcomputer 100 in the pachinko machine 1, and can perform the same processing as the production control microcomputer 100 described above.

  That is, the slot machine 1 includes a variable display means capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable, and the first special display until one display result is displayed on the variable display means. Predetermining means for deciding whether or not display of any display result among a plurality of display results including the display result and the second special display result and the determination result determined by the predetermination means And a variable display control means for controlling the variable display means to display a display result, and a first game state that is advantageous to the player based on the display of the first special display result on the variable display means. Game control means for controlling to a second gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first gaming state based on the fact that the second special display result is displayed on the variable display means. An effect display means for performing a predetermined effect display with display, an effect based on the determination of the first special display result, and an effect based on the determination of the second special display result A game history including at least display result information capable of specifying whether or not the display result is the first special display result or the second special display result. A gaming machine comprising a game history information output means for outputting information.

  The pre-determining means “determines whether or not to allow display of any display result” not only determines whether or not to allow individual display results to be displayed individually, This includes determining only one display result that permits display from among the display results.

  In the slot machine 1001 described above, the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are arranged large in the center of the slot machine 1001, and an effect display device 1050 that is smaller than the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R is arranged at the upper position of the slot machine 1001. In order to make the symbols of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R more difficult to identify, the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are reduced in size and arranged at the upper position of the slot machine 1001, An effect display device 1050 that is larger than the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R is arranged in the center of the slot machine 1001, and the same variable display as that of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R is displayed on the effect display device 1050. As in the case of the pachinko machine 1, the display is performed with a decoration design different from the design of the reel, and the display result of the above-described mission bonus 1 and mission bonus 2 is displayed on the small reels 1002L, 1002C, 1002R above the slot machine. The display result of AT combination 1 and AT combination 2 is displayed on the small reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R at the top of the slot machine, and the effect is displayed on the effect display device 1050. Thus, it may be made more difficult to determine whether the mission bonus 1 or the mission bonus 2 has occurred or whether the AT combination 1 or the AT combination 2 has occurred.

  As described above, as an example of the slot machine 1 as another gaming machine, the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko machine 1, but may be a slot machine that uses medals as gaming media, Furthermore, these game media are enclosed in the gaming machine, and the number of pachinko balls and medals lent out and the number of pachinko balls and medals awarded in accordance with winnings are added, and are used for games. Without depending on the number of pachinko balls and medals that are stored and stored, and without using pachinko balls and medals, for example, given according to the value and winnings of points and points lent in response to loan requests It may be a gaming machine that stores all the values such as the points and points that have been recorded as credits and can play a game using only the values stored as credits. In this case, these points, points, and the like correspond to game media, and credits become game value.
