Is a pachinko gaming machine according to the invention (1) that notifies or suggests a change result of the first identification information (special symbol) that is changing at the time of entering the ball.

  According to the present invention (1), when the player enters the normal area in the first stage of the conventional second type special game, the game state in the conventional first type game is notified, that is, one game result. Since the other game state is informed based on the above, it is possible to link a part of both game contents while following the conventional first type function and the conventional second type function respectively. As a result, it is possible to give the gaming machine unity and improve the fun of the game. Furthermore, when the transition to the first stage of the conventional second type special game is made, the transition to the special game in the conventional first type game is prohibited at least until the special game is completed.

Has the effect that can be further supplemented.

  According to the present invention (3), in addition to the above effect, there is important game information relating to the profit state given to the player, such as how long the state continues in the case of the specific game state in the first game. Since it can be known, there is an effect that the disadvantage can be further compensated.

  According to the present invention (4), in addition to the above-described effect, the fluctuation result of the first identification information that is fluctuating can be recognized in advance. While it is possible to see fluctuations in the first identification information while holding a sense of security in the situation where the player is playing, if the game leads to a loss, for example, when the reserved ball has not reached the upper limit, The game can be resumed without waiting for the fluctuation result, and the time can be saved, and the hall also has the effect of improving the operating rate.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the specification will be described. First, the term “winning” is a concept including not only a winning that the winning ball pays out, but also anything that can cause some profit to the player, and includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and can include, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols, decorative symbols, ordinary symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Random number” of “first random number” and “second random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used for lottery (lottery by electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine As for the first random number, for example, “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, “variation mode determination random number” for determining the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol, “design” for determining the stop symbol “Determined random number”, “Time-reduced game lottery random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, time-reduced game) after a special game, etc. The winning random number for determining whether or not to open can be listed. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Further, for example, one random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). “Based on the first random number” and “Based on the second random number...” Not only refers to a case where the variation mode (variation content) or stop identification information of the identification information is determined directly from the random number, For example, a variation mode (variation content) is determined based on stop identification information determined from the random number, or another identification information (for example, a special symbol) directly determined from the random number, such as a decorative symbol It also includes the case of determining from “Avoiding the transition to the first special game” and “Avoiding the transition to the second special game” means, for example, that the lottery for the transition to the other special game is not performed during the execution of one special game. In addition, when the transfer lottery has already been performed, it means that the winning is invalidated and that the special game based on the winning is executed after the special game that has already been completed. The “specific game that is easier to shift to the first special game than the normal game state” is, for example, a “probability changing game” in which the transition lottery probability to the first special game is higher than the normal game state, or the normal game state When the first identification information has a relatively short variation time than the “time shortening game” or the first starting port is a variable winning port and the variable winning port is in the open state, the time of the open state is usually Any of “open extended state” longer than the game or a combination thereof can be cited. Each component may have the function of other elements as long as it has the specified function. For example, when a certain winning opening functions as both the first variable winning opening and the second variable winning opening A, the winning opening is both the first variable winning opening and the second variable winning opening A.

  The first best mode of the present invention will be described first. The best mode is a model in which two conventional first-class pachinko machines and two conventional second-class pachinko machines are mixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, other types of game machines It is also within the scope of the present invention to be applied to (for example, a gaming machine having two conventional first type functions and one conventional second type function). Hereinafter, the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described in detail. Here, in order to ensure that a plurality of special games do not occur at the same time, there are “forced suspension type” (type A) and “forced loss symbol replacement type” (type B) described later. Hereinafter, type A will be described first. Here, the type is the second (first) special game during the second (first) special game by temporarily stopping the timer related to the first (second) special symbol variation during the second (first) special game execution. It relates to a type that prevents the transition to a 1 (second) special game {ie, a type in which the first (second) special symbol continues to fluctuate during execution of the second (first) special game}. It should be noted that this is the best mode, and the following modes are related to the location and function of each means, the order of each step for various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to.

Return to step 1000 again.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the first special game transition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1000 in FIG. First, in step 1300, main controller 1000 executes a first random number (game content determination random number related to the first game) acquisition process related to a process based on the entry of a game ball into special figure starting port 2110. Next, in step 1400, main controller 1000 performs special symbol display processing (+ specific game end determination processing) related to special symbol variable display / stop display processing on special symbol display unit 2131 of special symbol display device 2130. ). Then, in step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a first special game operation condition determination process (+ game state determination process after completion of special game) related to the process when the game content determination random number is a winning value. Then, the process proceeds to step 2000.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart according to the first special game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the special figure starting port entrance determining means 1111 determines whether or not special figure starting port entrance information has been received from the entrance detecting device 2111 of the special figure starting port 2110. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the special figure lottery means 1121 refers to the special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1131a, and determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the special figure lottery means 1121 acquires game content decision random numbers (winning random numbers, variation mode decision random numbers, special symbol decision random numbers, etc.), and the special figure holding means 1131 The random number is set in the special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a together with information indicating whether the eye is on hold. Next, in step 1308, the information transmission unit 1300 refers to the special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1131a, acquires information on the number of hold stored as the random number, and stores the information as the first hold. It transmits to the effect display control means 2150 side, and shifts to the next process {special symbol display process (+ specific game end determination process) in step 1400}. In the case of No in step 1302 and step 1304, the process proceeds to the next process {special symbol display process in step 1400 (+ specific game end determination process)}.

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of special symbol display processing according to the subroutine of step 1400 (particularly, step 1400A related to type A) in FIG. Here, the process is characterized in that the transition to the first special game during the execution of the second special game is prevented by temporarily stopping the timer relating to the special symbol fluctuation during the execution of the second special game. . That is, during the execution of the second special game, the special symbol continues to fluctuate (sway fluctuation).

  Therefore, this flowchart will be described in order. First, in step 1402A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start conditions are only that the first special game and the second special game are not being executed, and that the special symbol is not changing. That is, when the special symbol starts to change, the fact that the normal symbol is changing does not constitute a change start restriction condition.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402A, in step 1403A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and determines whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1403A, in step 1405A, the special figure content determination means 1141 sets the special figure time reduction gaming state lottery table 1141a-2 as a reference table, and proceeds to step 1414A. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403A, in step 1407A, the special figure content determination means 1141 sets the special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1141a-1 as a reference table, and proceeds to step 1414A.

  Next, in step 1414A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 reads the game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the special figure holding information temporary storage unit 1131a. In step 1416A, the special figure content determination unit 1141 refers to each set lottery table and determines a stop symbol related to the special symbol based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the special symbol determination random number). Based on the game content determination random numbers (for example, the winning random number and the variation mode determination random number), the variation mode of the special symbol is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the special diagram information temporary storage unit 1191b.

  Here, in the case of winning and the case of losing, the stop symbol itself determined based on the special symbol random number is different. For example, when the special symbol determination random number that can be taken is 0 to 255, in the case of a loss, “−” is determined when any special symbol determination random number is acquired. On the other hand, in the case of winning, for example, when the special symbol determining random numbers of 0 to 24 are acquired, the symbols (“3” and “7”) related to the winning A are determined, and the special symbol determining random numbers of 25 to 36 are determined. Is obtained, the symbol ("5") related to the hit B is determined, and when the special symbol determining random numbers 37 to 255 are acquired, the symbols related to the hit C ("0", "2", "4" "...) is determined.

  In step 1417A, the game control unit 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1417A, in step 1418A, the game control unit 1100 turns on the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a. On the other hand, if step 1417A is No, step 1418A is skipped. Next, in step 1419A, the information transmitting means 1300 performs first effect display control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 1416A and the current gaming state. It transmits to the means 2150 side. Next, in step 1420A, the special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a sets a predetermined time (fluctuation time related to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1416A) in the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1. In step 1422A, the special symbol display control unit 1151 starts the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display unit 2131 of the special symbol display device 2130 according to the variation mode stored in the special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b. To do. Next, in step 1446A, the special figure display control means 1151 turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 1424A, the game state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, so that the current second special game related flag (for example, the second special game transition permission flag, the second special game execution flag, etc.) is obtained. ) Is off, that is, whether or not the second special game is currently being executed.

  In the case of Yes in step 1424A, in step 1426A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the special symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 to confirm whether or not the special symbol variation timer is currently stopped. . In the case of Yes in step 1426A, in FIG. 1428A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stop means 1221b-2 turns on the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 which has been paused. In step 1429A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol variation restart signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side, and the process proceeds to step 1434A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424A, in step 1430A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the special symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 to determine whether or not the special symbol variation timer is currently operating. Check. In the case of Yes in step 1430A, in step 1432A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stop unit 1221b-2 temporarily stops the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 in operation. Then, in step 1433A, the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits a symbol change temporary stop signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side, and proceeds to step 1434A. Note that the process also proceeds to step 1434A even in the case of No in step 1426A and step 1430A.

  Next, in step 1434A, the special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434A, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434A, in step 1436A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the first effect display control unit 2150 side. Next, in step 1438A, the special figure display control means 1151 stops the special symbol variable display on the special figure display unit 2131 of the special symbol display device 2130 and is stored in the special figure information temporary storage means 1191b. Display control is performed with the stop symbol as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1440A, the special figure display control means 1151 turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 1442A, the special figure fluctuation time management unit 1151a resets the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1. Next, in step 1450A, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process, and proceeds to the next process (first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402A, in step 1444A, the special figure display control means 1151 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in Step 1444A, the process proceeds to Step 1424A, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game operation condition determination process in Step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time reduction counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and performs the next process {first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500 ( + Gaming state determination process after the first special game is finished)}. Even in the case of No in step 1452 and step 1456, the process proceeds to the next process {first special game operation condition determination process in step 1500 (+ game state determination process after the completion of the first special game)}.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the first special game operation condition determination process (+ game state determination process after the completion of the first special game) according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the first condition determination unit 1171a refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the first condition determination unit 1171a determines whether or not the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 2131 of the special symbol display device 2130 has stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506 and step 1508, the first condition determination unit 1171a turns on the first special game transition permission flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and turns off the winning flag. In step 1550, main controller 1000 executes state determination processing relating to the first game after the end of the first special game, and proceeds to the next processing (first special game execution processing in step 2000). It should be noted that, also in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game execution process in step 2000).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the state determination process related to the first game after the end of the first special game according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the specific game control means 1180 resets the time reduction counter 1181a (time reduction counter value = 0). Next, in step 1554, the specific game control means 1180 determines the number of times by a lottery with reference to a table (not shown) based on the time-short lottery random number acquired at the time of winning the special figure starting port 2110. Next, in step 1556, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the determined number of time reductions is not zero. In the case of Yes in step 1556, in step 1558, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a. Then, in step 1560, the specific game control means 1180 sets the determined time reduction number in the time reduction number counter 1181a. In step 1562, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits the time reduction information to the first effect display control unit 2150 side, and proceeds to the next process (first special game execution process in step 2000). In the case of No in step 1556, the process proceeds to step 1562.

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the first special game execution process according to the subroutine of step 2000 in FIG. First, in step 2002, the first special game executing means 1171b refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the first special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2002, in step 2004, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a first special game start signal to the first effect display control means 2150 side. Next, in Step 2006 and Step 2008, the first special game execution means 1171b turns off the first special game transition permission flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and turns on the first special game execution flag, The process proceeds to step 2012. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2002, in step 2010, the first special game execution means 1171b determines whether or not the first special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 2010, the process proceeds to step 2012. In the case of No in step 2010, the first special game execution means 1171b determines that the permission for the first special game has not been granted and proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000). Transition.

  Next, in step 2012, the first special game executing means 1171b refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine whether. If Yes in step 2012, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 2023 without performing the processes in steps 2014 to 2022 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2012, that is, when it is just before the start of the round, first in step 2014, the first special game execution means 1171b clears the first special game timer 1171c-1 to a predetermined value. (For example, 30 seconds for a normal special game, 0.5 seconds for a special game related to a so-called sudden time reduction or small hit). Next, in Step 2016, the first special game executing means 1171b clears the winning ball counter in the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c to zero. In step 2018, the first special game execution means 1171b adds 1 to the round number counter in the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c. The number of rounds stored in the first special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c is 0 immediately after the start of the first special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time the rounds are repeated. Next, in Step 2020, the first special game executing means 1171b turns on the round continuation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 2022, the first special game executing means 1171b drives the electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 to open the first big prize opening 2120, and proceeds to step 2023.

  Next, in step 2023, the information transmission means 1300 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the first effect display control means 2150 side. In step 2024, the first special game execution unit 1171b refers to the first special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won in the round. If Yes in step 2024, the process proceeds to step 2028. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2024, in step 2026, the first special game execution unit 1171b refers to the first special game timer 1171c-1 and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in Step 2026, the process proceeds to Step 2028, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in Step 3000).

  Next, in step 2028, the first special game executing means 1171b stops driving the electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 and closes the first big prize opening 2120. In step 2030, the first special game executing means 1171b resets the first special game timer 1171c-1. Next, in Step 2032, the first special game executing means 1171 b turns off the round continuation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191 a. Next, in step 2034, the first special game executing means 1171b refers to the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c to determine whether or not the round is the final round (for example, if it is a normal special game). 15 rounds, 2 rounds for a special game related to so-called sudden time reduction, and 1 round for a special game related to small hits). In the case of Yes in step 2034, in step 2036, the first special game execution means 1171b turns off the first special game execution flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 2038, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits the first special game end signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side, and proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000). Even in the case of No in step 2034, the process proceeds to the next process (second special game transition determination process in step 3000).

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the second special game transition determination process according to the subroutine of step 3000 in FIG. For convenience of explanation, the process includes not only a process related to the direct second game but also a process related to an indirect auxiliary game that induces the second special game. Therefore, the process will be described. First, in step 3100, main controller 1000 executes a normal symbol winning random number acquisition process related to a process based on the entry of a game ball into multi-game start opening 2310. Next, in step 3200, main controller 1000 executes normal symbol display processing related to normal symbol variation display / stop display on general symbol display unit 2321 of normal symbol display device 2320. In step 3300, main controller 1000 executes an electric chew drive determination process related to the process when the normal symbol winning random number is the winning value. Next, in step 3400, main controller 1000 executes a second special game operation condition determination process related to a determination process of whether or not to shift to the second special game.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the normal symbol winning random number acquisition process related to the auxiliary game according to the subroutine of step 3100 in FIG. First, in step 3102, the general-purpose start entrance ball determining unit 1112 determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflowed or passed through) the general-purpose start entrance 2310. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the ordinary drawing lottery means 1122 refers to the ordinary figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a, and determines whether or not the number of holding balls is the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 3104, in step 3106, the normal drawing lottery means 1122 acquires the normal symbol winning random number. Next, in step 3108, the general figure holding means 1132 adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number together with the information on what number of the holding is in the general figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a. The process proceeds to the normal symbol display process in step 3200. In addition, also when it is No in step 3102 and step 3104, it transfers to the following process (normal symbol display process of step 3200).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of normal symbol display processing according to the subroutine of step 3200 in FIG. First, in step 3203, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game-related flag temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether the electric-chu-opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 3203, in step 3204, the normal game display control means 1152 refers to the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 3204, in step 3206, the general figure content determining means 1142 accesses the general figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol.

In step 3216, the general symbol content determination unit 1142 determines the stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball.

  Next, in step 3240, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 3240, in step 3242, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the normal symbol hit flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a, and proceeds to step 3218. On the other hand, if No at step 3240, step 3242 is skipped and the routine goes to step 3218.

  Next, in step 3218, the usual figure fluctuation time management means 1152a sets the usual figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds in the case of a short game, in the case of a normal game) based on the set table. Is set to 30 seconds). In step 3220, the normal figure display control means 1152 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 3222, the general-purpose holding means 1132 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1132a after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the normal symbol, and the general-purpose display control. The means 1152 starts the normal symbol variation display on the universal diagram display unit 2321 after starting the common diagram variation management timer 1152a-1. Next, in step 3224, the normal time fluctuation time management means 1152a refers to the normal time fluctuation management timer 1152a-1, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 3224, in step 3226, the general map display control unit 1152 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the general map content determination unit 1142 in the above step 3216 on the general map display unit 2321. In step 3228, the normal figure display control means 1152 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a, and proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 3300).

  If NO in step 3203, step 3206, and step 3224, the process proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 3300). If NO in step 3204, the process proceeds to step 3224 and in step 3208. If no, the process proceeds to step 3214.

Next, in step 3407, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a to confirm the current state of the first game, and based on the confirmation content, the opening timer 1162 has the start port 2210. The opening time of the electric accessory 2212 is set. For example, when the current first game is in the time-reduced gaming state, a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) is set as the opening time of the electric accessory 2212, and the current first game is in the normal gaming state. Sets a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) as the opening time of the electric accessory 2212. Next, in step 3414, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the starting port 2210 by driving the electric accessory 2212 of the starting port 2210. Next, in Step 3416, the second special game control means 1172 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the ball detection device 2211 of the start port 2210. In the case of Yes in step 3416, in step 3417, the second operation avoidance determination means 1222a refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, and is currently in the special game {first special game related flag Whether any of (a first special game transition permission flag, a first special game execution flag, etc.) and a second special game related flag (a second special game transition permission flag, a second special game execution flag, etc.) are ON} Determine whether.

  Here, in the case of Yes in step 3417, in step 3418, the second special game control unit 1172 turns on the second special game transition permission flag in the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, and proceeds to step 3420. On the other hand, if No in step 3417, that is, if a game ball enters the ball detection device 2211 of the start port 2210 during the first special game or the second special game, the process proceeds to step 3420. As described above, even if the right to transfer the second special game is acquired during the special game, the processing to invalidate the right to transfer is performed.

  In step 3420, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the open timer 1162 and determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 3420, in step 3422, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 stops driving the electric accessory 2212 of the start port 2210 and closes the start port 2210. In step 3424, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns off the electric chew release flag in the auxiliary game related flag temporary storage means 1193a, and proceeds to the next process (second special game execution process in step 4000).

Here, the “first stage opening / closing continuation flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the opening / closing process of the second grand prize winning opening 2220 related to the first stage special game is being executed. This means that the opening / closing process of the big prize opening 2220 is being executed. If YES in step 4202, in step 4204, the first stage special game condition determining unit 1172a-1 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a and the first stage flag (see step 4112) is ON. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 4204, in step 4206, the second special game control means 1172 turns on the first stage open / close continuation flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. Then, in step 4208, the second special game control means 1172 sends the first stage opening / closing timer 1172c-2 and the specific area valid timer 1172c-1 to the opening / closing time of the second big prize opening 2220 related to the first stage special game, and The specific area valid time for the first stage special game is set. Next, in step 4210, the first stage special game executing means 1172b-1 drives the electric accessory 2224 of the second big prize opening 2220 to start opening and closing the second big prize opening 2220. In step 4212, the first stage special game execution means 1172 b-1 has reached the opening / closing end time of the second big prize opening 2220 of the first stage special game with reference to the first stage opening / closing timer 1172 c-2. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 4212, in step 4214, the first stage special game executing means 1172 b-1 stops driving the electric accessory 2224 of the second big prize opening 2220 and finishes opening and closing the second big prize opening 2220. To do. In step 4216, the second special game control means 1172 turns off the first stage opening / closing continuation flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. Next, in Step 4218, the second special game time management means 1172c resets the specific area valid timer 1172c-1 and the first stage open / close timer 1172c-2. In step 4224, the second special game control unit 1172 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a and determines whether or not the player enters the specific area within the effective time in the first stage special game, that is, It is determined whether or not a game ball entry signal has been received from the specific area winning detection device 2222 of the second grand prize opening 2220 within the valid time. In the case of Yes in step 4224, in step 4225, the second special game control means 1172 determines the number of unit games of the special game by lottery, and stores the upper limit unit game number (remaining in the second special game related information temporary storage means 1192b). The number of unit games) is stored as N. In step 4226, the second special game control means 1172 turns on the second stage flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. Here, the “second stage flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the transition to the second stage special game is decided, or whether or not the second stage special game is being executed. It means that it is decided to shift to the second stage special game or the second stage special game is being executed. In step 4228, the information transmission means 1300 gives the second effect display control means 2240 information on whether or not to shift to the second stage special game (for example, the second stage in the case of shifting to the second stage. A stage transition confirmation signal, round number information, and a second stage non-transition signal) are transmitted if the stage does not transition to the second stage. Next, in step 4230, the second special game control means 1172 turns off the first stage flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a and proceeds to the next process (second stage execution process 4300).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4224, that is, in the case where the game ball has not entered the specific area in the first stage of the special game, in step 4234, the normal area passage determination means 1115 It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the normal area of the second grand prize opening 2220, that is, whether or not the normal area winning information has been received from the normal area winning detection device 2223. In the case of Yes in step 4234, in step 4236, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a normal area entry signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 side. In step 4232, the second special game control means 1172 turns off the second special game execution flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, and proceeds to step 4228. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 4234, the process proceeds to step 4232.

  If NO in step 4202, the process proceeds to step 4212. In addition, in the case of No in step 4204 and step 4212, the process proceeds to the next process (second stage execution process 4300).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the second stage execution process of the second special game according to the subroutine of step 4300 in FIG. First, in Step 4302 and Step 4304, the second special game control means 1172 refers to the second flag temporary storage means 1192a and determines whether or not both the second stage opening / closing continuation flag and the second stage continuation flag are off. Determine whether. Here, the “second stage opening / closing continuation flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the unit game of the second stage special game is being executed, and means that the unit game is being executed when it is on. To do. Further, the “second stage continuation flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the second stage special game is being continued, and if it is on, the second stage special game is being continued (running). Means. If YES in step 4302 and step 4304, in step 4306, the second stage special game condition determining means 1172a-2 refers to the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, and the second stage flag (see step 4226). It is determined whether or not is on. In the case of Yes in step 4306, in steps 4308 and 4310, the second special game control means 1172 turns on the second stage continuation flag and the second stage opening / closing continuation flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. In step 4312, the second special game control unit 1172 sets the opening / closing time of the first big prize opening 2120 related to the second stage special game in the second stage opening / closing timer 1172 c-3, and proceeds to step 4314.

  Next, in step 4314, the second stage special game executing means 1172b-2 drives the electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 to start opening and closing the first big prize opening 2120. In step 4316, the second stage special game executing means 1172b-2 refers to the second stage opening / closing timer 1172c-3 to determine whether or not the opening / closing end condition is satisfied. It is determined whether or not the unit game end time (or the number of unit game end opening / closing times) of the game has been reached, and the second special game related information temporary storage means 1192b is referred to a predetermined winning number (for example, 10). It is determined whether it has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 4316, in step 4318, the second stage special game executing means 1172b-2 stops the driving of the electric accessory 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 and ends the opening and closing of the first big prize opening 2120. To do. In step 4320, the second special game control means 1172 turns off the second stage open / close continuation flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. Next, in Step 4322, the second special game control means 1172 resets the second stage open / close timer 1172c-3. In step 4324, the second special game control unit 1172 subtracts 1 from the upper limit unit game number (remaining unit game number) N stored in the second special game related information temporary storage unit 1192b.

  In step 4326, the second special game control means 1172 refers to the second special game related information temporary storage means 1192b to determine whether the upper limit unit game number (remaining unit game number) N is 0 or not. judge. In the case of Yes in step 4326, in steps 4328 and 4330, the second special game control means 1172 turns off the second stage continuation flag and the second stage flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. In step 4332, the second special game control means 1172 turns off the second special game execution flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. Next, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a second special game end signal to the second effect display control means 2240, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  If No in step 4302, the process proceeds to step 4316. On the other hand, if NO in step 4304, the process proceeds to step 4310. Further, in the case of No in step 4306, step 4316, and step 4326, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a main flowchart on the sub-board side in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode. First, in step 6100, the first effect display control means 2150 executes a decorative symbol display control process related to a variable display / stop display of a decorative symbol in the normal game / specific game of the first game. Next, in step 6200, the first effect display control means 2150 performs display control processing during the first special game related to various state displays (for example, display of the number of rounds, winnings, etc.) during the special game of the first game. Execute. In step 6300, the second effect display control means 2240 displays various status indications during the special game of the second game (for example, whether or not the right to move to the second stage, such as the number of rounds or the number of winning prizes, has been acquired). Display control processing during the second special game related to display) is executed. Next, in step 6400, the time reduction number management means 2152-c manages the remaining number of time reductions on the sub-side based on game information (particularly time reduction number information and symbol information) transmitted from the main control device 1000 side. The number management process is executed. In step 6500, the time reduction display control means 2152c performs time reduction display processing for displaying the remaining time reduction number information that is normally notified to the player in an unrecognizable state under a predetermined condition, and in step 6100. Repeat the process to return to.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart (A type) relating to the decorative symbol display control process, which is a subroutine of step 6100 in FIG. First, in step 6101A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6101A, in step 6102A, the decorative symbol display control unit 2152a refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not the symbol information is received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6102A, in step 6104A, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 changes the drawing based on the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main information temporary storage means 2151a. With reference to the content determination table 2152a-1-1, the variation pattern of the decorative symbol and the stop symbol are determined. The stop symbol / variation mode from the main controller 1000 side (that is, the special symbol stop symbol / variation mode) and the stop symbol / variation mode determined by the first effect display control means 2150 side (that is, the decoration symbol stop) The symbol / variation mode does not have to have a one-to-one correspondence. For example, the ratio of the variation mode on the first effect display control means 2150 side has a plurality of patterns for one variation mode from the main controller 1000 side. May be. Next, in step 6105A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a turns on the symbol changing flag.

In the case of Yes in step 6107A, in step 6108A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a to determine whether or not a symbol change temporary stop signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. judge. In the case of Yes in Step 6108A, in Step 6109A and Step 6110A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a turns on the symbol variation pause flag and is changing on the drawing display unit 2141 of the first effect display device 2140. Temporarily stop (fluctuate) the decorative pattern. In step 6112A, the decorative symbol display control unit 2152a refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not a symbol variation restart signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6112A, in step 6113A and step 6114A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a turns off the symbol variation temporary stop flag and restarts the variation of the decorative symbol that has been temporarily stopped (fluctuation variation). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6112A, the process waits until a restart signal is received. In step 6116A, the decorative symbol display control unit 2152a refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not a final display command has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6116A, in step 6118A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a confirms and displays the stop symbol of the decorative symbol in accordance with the determination content in step 6104A. In step 6119A, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a turns off the symbol changing flag, and proceeds to the next process (first special game display control process 6200). If No in Step 6101A, the process proceeds to Step 6107A. If No in Step 6102A and Step 6116A, the process proceeds to the next process (first special game display control process 6200), and No in Step 6107A. If YES in step 6112A, the process advances to step 6116A if NO in steps 6108A and 6112A.

The number is displayed sequentially. In step 6208, the display control means 2152 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a and determines whether or not a first special game end signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6208, in step 6210, the display control means 2152 performs jackpot end display on the drawing display unit 2141 of the first effect display device 2140. In step 6211, the display control means 2152 turns off the first special game flag and proceeds to the next process (second special game display control process 6300). In the case of No in Step 6201, the process proceeds to Step 6206, and also in the case of No in Step 6202 and Step 6208, the process proceeds to the next process (second special game display control process 6300).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the second special game display control processing according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in Step 6330 and Step 6332, the display control means 2242 determines whether or not the second stage special game flag and the first stage special game flag are off. In step 6302, the display control means 2242 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2241a, and determines whether or not the second special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side (see step 4110). In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6334 and step 6304, the display control means 2242 turns on the first stage special game flag and displays the first stage special game jackpot start display on the second effect display device 2230. I do. Next, in step 6306, the display control means 2242 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2241a, and determines whether or not information indicating whether or not to shift to the second stage special game has been received from the main control device 1000 side. Determine (see step 4228). In the case of Yes in Step 6306, in Step 6336 and Step 6308, the display control means 2242 turns off the first stage special gaming flag, and the information received in Step 6306 is a transition confirmation signal to the second stage. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in Step 6308, in Step 6310 and Step 6314, the display control means 2242 displays a big hit start display of the second stage special game on the second effect display device 2230, and sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of wins. To do. In step 6316, the display control means 2242 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2241a and determines whether or not the second special game end signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in Step 6316, in Step 6318 and Step 6340, the display control means 2242 displays the second stage jackpot end display on the second effect display device 2230, and turns off the second stage special gaming flag, The processing shifts to the next processing (time-saving count management processing in step 6400).

  If NO in step 6330, the process proceeds to step 6314. If NO in step 6332, the process proceeds to step 6306. If NO in step 6302, step 6306, and step 6316, the next process (step 6400 (short time management processing). In the case of No in step 6308, in step 6312, the display control means 2242 performs the first stage jackpot end display (the end display of the special game) on the second effect display device 2230, and the next The processing shifts to the time-saving count management processing in step 6400.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the time reduction management process related to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. First, in step 6402, the time reduction number management means 2152c-2 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a and determines whether or not the time reduction number information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6402, in step 6404, the time reduction number management means 2152c-2 sets the number of times in the time reduction number counter 2152c-2-1. Next, in step 6406, the time reduction number management means 2152c-2 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a, and determines whether or not the symbol information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6406, in step 6408, the time reduction number management means 2152c-2 refers to the time reduction number counter 2152c-2-1 and determines whether or not the time reduction number (C) is not zero. In the case of Yes in step 6408, in step 6410, the time reduction number management means 2152c-2 subtracts 1 from the time reduction number in the time reduction number counter 2152c-2-1 and proceeds to the next processing (time reduction number display processing in step 6500). Transition. If NO in step 6402, the process proceeds to step 6406, and if NO in step 6406 and step 6408, the process proceeds to the next process (time reduction display process in step 6500).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the time reduction display processing management process related to the subroutine of step 6500 in FIG. First, in step 6502, the time reduction display control means 2152c refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a, and determines whether or not a normal area entry signal (information) has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6502, in step 6504, the time reduction number display determination unit 2152c-1 refers to the time reduction number counter 2152c-2-1 and determines whether or not the time reduction number (C) is not zero. In the case of Yes in Step 6504, in Step 6506, the time-short-number display availability determination lottery means 2152c-1-1 acquires a display-permitted random number related to whether or not to display the time-short number (C). Next, in Step 6508, the short-time displayable / not displayable lottery means 2152c-1-1 performs a displayability lottery by referring to a lottery table (not shown) based on the display permission random number (for example, winning with a probability of 30%). In step 6510, the time reduction number display determination unit 2152c-1 determines whether or not the time reduction number display permission is won in step 6508. In the case of Yes in step 6510, in step 6512, the time reduction number display control means 2152c refers to the time reduction number counter 2152c-2-1 and displays the time reduction number (C) on the drawing display unit 2141 of the first effect display device 2140. And the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display control process in step 6100). In addition, also in the case of No in step 6502, step 6504, and step 6510, the process proceeds to the next process (decorated symbol display control process in step 6100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. First, this figure will be briefly explained. The “time reduction flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the special symbol variation in the first game is in a time reduction state, and when ON, it is in a time reduction state. means. The “second big prize opening relating to the first stage special game” indicates whether or not the second big prize opening is opened as the first stage of the second special game, and “open” is opened. Indicates that

  Therefore, this timing chart will be described in time series. First, under the situation where the time reduction flag is off, even if a game ball enters the normal area in the first stage of the second special game, the first effect is shown. On the drawing display unit 2141 of the display device 2140, no display relating to the number of time reductions is performed.

  Next, the display regarding the number of time reductions when a game ball enters the second big prize opening 2220 in the first stage of the second special game in a situation where the time reduction flag is ON will be described. First, when a game ball enters only a specific area, the time-short display is not performed based on the ball. Next, even when a game ball enters both the specific area and the normal area, the display of the number of time reductions is not performed based on the ball. Furthermore, even when a game ball enters only the normal area, if the internal display availability lottery is not won, the short-time display is not performed based on the incoming ball. Finally, when a game ball enters only the normal area and an internal display availability lottery is won, the time is reduced on the drawing display unit 2141 of the first effect display device 2140 based on the received ball. The number of times is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, regarding the second special game, since the second stage has not been entered, the display of “sorry losing !!” is displayed on the second effect display device 2230, while “ “The remaining 5 times!” Is displayed on the first effect display device 2140.

  Next, the B type (losing stop symbol forced stop type) of the best mode will be described. Here, when the special symbol is fluctuating during execution of the second special game, the type prevents the transition to the first special game by forcibly stopping the special symbol with the stop-of-miss symbol. It is.

  First, functional features of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The pachinko gaming machine related to type B is forced to lose the special symbol related to the first game when the second game shifts to the special game instead of the special figure variation timer temporary stop means 1221b-2 of type A. It is characterized by having a lost symbol forced replacement means 1221b-3.

  Next, processing characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Here, FIG. 28 is a flowchart relating to processing on the main side, and more specifically, is a flowchart of special symbol display processing relating to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. Note that most of them are the same as those in FIG. 7 and are different only in that Steps 1424B to 1431B exist. Therefore, only the difference will be described. After the special symbol starts to change in step 1422B, in step 1424B, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, and presently displays the second special game related flag ( For example, it is checked whether or not the second special game transition permission flag and the second special game execution flag are off, that is, whether or not the second special game is currently being executed. If YES in step 1424B, the process proceeds to step 1434B without performing the loss stop symbol forced stop processing according to this flow. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424B, in step 1425B, first, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a confirmation display command for forcibly stopping with a lost symbol to the first effect display control unit 2150 side. Next, in step 1427B, the lost symbol forced replacement unit 1221b-3 forcibly replaces the stop symbol stored in the special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b with the lost stop symbol, and the first operation avoidance executing unit. 1221b clears the special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 to zero. As a result, the replaced lost stop symbol is fixedly displayed on the special figure display unit 2131. In step 1429B, the first operation avoidance control unit 1221 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1429B, in step 1431B, the first operation avoidance control unit 1221 turns off the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a. As a result, not only does the stoppage of the lost game stop, but the winning right also disappears internally.

  In addition, this type B is configured such that when the forced loss stop condition is satisfied, the changing symbol is immediately replaced with the loss stop symbol, but the change is extended until the loss mode is displayed as the stop symbol. A so-called “slip” method may be used.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart relating to the sub-side process, and more specifically, a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process relating to the subroutine of Step 6100 in FIG. Note that most of them are the same as those in FIG. Therefore, only the differences will be described. In step 6109B, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a receives a signal for forcibly stopping the main symbol from the main controller 1000 with reference to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 6109B, in step 6111B, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a forcibly stops the decorative symbol that is changing on the drawing display unit 2141 of the first effect display device 2140 with the loss stop symbol, step 6119B. Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6109B, the process proceeds to step 6116B.

  According to this best mode, when the player enters the normal area in the first stage of the conventional second type special game, the game state in the conventional first type game is notified, that is, based on one game result.
