[0001]

The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines include:
A hit or miss is determined based on the establishment of a determination start condition, such as a game ball entering a specific winning opening or a game ball passing through a specific pass gate. There is a model that executes a predetermined special game referred to as a special game.
In such a model, a display device such as a liquid crystal display, a dot matrix display, or an LED display device that fluctuates and stops and displays a plurality of determination symbols including numbers, symbols, pictures, and the like is provided on the game board surface.

The display device generally has an image display section having a configuration in which a plurality of display areas are arranged. For each display area, a so-called slot machine drum rotates.
Floating display by scrolling the judgment symbol, etc.
After that, it can be stopped and displayed. Then, the determination symbol displayed in each display area of the image display section starts to change due to the establishment of the determination start condition, and after a predetermined time change, is fixedly stopped in a plurality of display areas of the image display section. Is displayed, and the determined stop symbol constitutes a "big hit" when the combination is a predetermined combination (a big hit combination, for example, a double stitch), and is "missed" when the other combination (a missing design combination). Becomes In the case of the "big hit", a large winning port on the game board is continuously opened to enable a large number of winnings, and a large amount of prize balls are paid out during the winning.

[0004] In the above-mentioned gaming machine, generally,
In order to increase the player's expectation of "big hit" and further improve the fun of the game, for example, the image display unit has three display areas in a horizontal line, and displays a judgment symbol in each display area. In the first case, the symbols are variably displayed in three display areas, and then the symbols are sequentially variably displayed in the remaining two display areas while the symbols are variably displayed only in one display area (final stop display area). After that, the symbols are stopped even in the display area in which the variable display is kept after a predetermined time delay, and the whole stop display is performed. By doing so, only the final stop display area is left, and when the symbols are stopped in the remaining two display areas to form a specific combination, so-called reach state, finally, the final stop display Until the symbol stops in the area, the player's expectation of the "big hit" will continue to increase. The order of stopping the display area may be left middle right, left middle or the like.

Further, in recent gaming machines, the stop display mode of the judgment symbol on the image display section is a specific mode, for example, when the reach state is reached, the final stop symbol is fixedly displayed in the final stop display area. By the time, a character (a person, an animal, a plant, or the like) appears on the image display unit, and the character performs a game or the like to perform an effect related to game information such as a game hit or miss, or the final stop symbol. Until is stopped, all the symbols including the final stop symbol are provisionally stopped, and then the character appears and fluctuates the provisionally stopped symbol again to perform a final stop display effect. Has been devised to give a change to the display mode of the game to enhance the interest of the game.

[0006]

However, as described above, even in a method of performing a design relating to a symbol that appears at the time of a reach, a temporary stop, and the like and that is displayed as a fixed stop, the final fixed stop symbol is also displayed. Depending on the combination,
Since the display indicates whether or not a hit has occurred, the player pays full attention to the part of the variable symbol that finally stops.

[0007] For this reason, in the conventional gaming machine, even if the character plays a game or the like, the player does not pay attention to the performance and the like, and the game becomes monotonous, and the player has a fresh taste. There is a risk of getting tired without it.

If the combination of the special stop symbols is a predetermined big hit symbol combination, for example, a so-called "symbol" consisting of a combination of the same symbols, the state shifts to the big hit state. When the big hit state is reached, the opening and closing plate 6 of the big winning opening 15
When the game ball 1 opens and receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game area 6, it is possible to win the special winning opening 15, and when a winning is made in the special winning opening 15, a predetermined number of games are played by a prize ball payout device (not shown). The ball is paid out as a prize ball. The opening and closing plate 6
The number 1 is set to be closed after a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) has elapsed or when the number of winning balls detected by the winning ball count switch reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). The number of winning balls detected by the winning ball count switch is determined by the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43.
Are displayed like numbers from 0 to 10 or bar graphs.

When the specific prize ball detecting switch detects a prize ball to the specific region prize port 63 during opening of the special prize port 15 or within about two seconds after the close of the special prize port 15, the big hit is re-started. The right to repeat is generated, and the opening and closing plate 61 is repeatedly opened a predetermined maximum number of times (for example, 15 times or 13 times at the maximum). In the embodiment, the combination of the big hit symbols when the big hit is established is a specific symbol combination, specifically, “10,000”, “30,000”, “50,000”, “70,000”, “90,000”, “ If it is any of the “medium”, the maximum number of occurrences of the jackpot continuation right, the so-called number of rounds, is 13, while the combination of jackpot symbols is “white”, “20,000”, “40,000”. ', '60, 000', 'Yama,'
If it is any one of '發', the number of rounds will be 15 times.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is a model having a probability variation function and a time shortening function, and the big hit symbol combination when the big hit is established is a variable and a time saving symbol of "1 ten thousand" and "30 thousand". , '50, 000 ', '70, 000', '90, 000 ',
When it is any of the "medium", in addition to the occurrence of the big hit (special game state), the probability fluctuation and the time reduction occur after the end of the big hit, that is, the next big hit occurrence probability is the normal game state at normal time ( The low probability state, 1/315) is shifted to a higher probability fluctuation state (high probability state, 5/315) than the normal symbol, and the time from the start of the change of the special symbol to the final display is shorter than usual, The probability fluctuation state and the time shortening state continue until the next big hit. In addition, the jackpot symbol combination at the time of the jackpot establishment is a normal symbol is 'white', '20 thousand ', '40 thousand',
If it is any one of '6,000', 'Yama,' and 'Hatsu', after the end of the big hit, the normal game state (low probability state,
1/315), the time is not shortened, and the normal game state continues until the next big hit.

In the case of the probability fluctuation state and the time shortening state, if a big hit is established again at the same time of the probability change and the time saving symbol, the probability fluctuation state and the time shortening state are re-established after the end of the big hit. Further, in the embodiment, in the probability fluctuation state and the time shortening state, the widening open time of the lower first type start winning opening 11 due to the normal symbol (small hit) is increased, or the normal symbol display device 41 By increasing the frequency of occurrence of the wide open state of the lower first kind starting winning opening 11 by shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol or the like,
Opportunities for jackpot determination are also increasing.

As described above, the game value given to the player, such as the prize value at the time of executing a special game, such as the number of possible rounds of the big hit continuation right, and the value of the bonus game, such as probability fluctuation, time reduction, and increased judgment opportunity. If the (big hit mode) is changed according to the type (shape) of the symbol in the big hit symbol combination (fixed stop big hit symbol combination), the player's interest in the big hit symbol combination increases, the range of the game is expanded, and the game is played. It can be even more interesting.

[Table 1]

The label -TRND-A is a random number counter for determining a big hit or a miss. This label-TRND
-A starts from '0' when the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on, is incremented by one every predetermined interruption time (for example, 4.000 msec), and returns to '0' again when the numerical value reaches '629'. The above addition is repeated.
The numerical value of the label -TRND-A is acquired when a game ball has won the first-type start winning openings 10 and 11 and detected by the special symbol change start switch, and a predetermined jackpot numerical value, in this embodiment, In normal times (in the low probability state), it is compared with '5', '500'.
'200', '300', '350', '400',
It is determined whether it is a big hit or not by comparing with '450', '500' and '600'. In addition, the game ball may win the first kind start winning openings 10 and 11 and the numerical value of the label -TRND-A may be obtained again before the determination of the success or failure is completed. A maximum of four stored acquisition values (update acquisition numerical values) of A are obtained except for the acquisition value currently being determined.
It is temporarily stored in the special symbol random number storage area of the RAM 73 of the main control circuit 70 and is sequentially subjected to determination.

The label TRND-R1 is the same as the label
When the result of the big hit determination by the TRND-A is out of the range, it is determined whether or not a reach state is set. Specifically, among the display areas of the image display unit 50,
It is determined whether or not the symbols are stopped and displayed in a specific combination (for example, the same symbol) in the remaining two display regions while leaving only the final stopped symbol display region (here, the center display region).

This label -TRND-R1 is
When the power is turned on, the operation starts from '0' and is incremented by one at each interruption time. When the numerical value becomes '49', it returns to '0' again and repeats the above addition.
The numerical value of the label -TRND-R1 is acquired when the winning sphere to the first-type starting winning openings 10 and 11 is detected by the special symbol change start switch, and when the big hit determination result is out, the numerical value is obtained. It is determined whether or not the reach state is established by comparing with a predetermined reach establishment numerical value.
In the embodiment, the reach achievement value is “24” or “4”.
9 ', and when the numerical value of the label -TRND-R1 becomes the reach reaching numerical value, the reach state is established. The acquired numerical value of the label -TRND-R1 is stored in the special symbol random number storage area of the RAM 73 of the main control circuit 70 in a predetermined number, in this example, up to four except for the numerical value being determined. In this embodiment, the label -T
When the big hit determination result by the RND-A is a big hit, the reach state is always established.
This label -TRND-R1 is not used.

The label -TRND-RT1 can be shifted to reach when the reach state is established, that is, when the big hit is determined by the label -TRND-A and when the reach is determined by the label -TRND-R1. It is a random number counter that determines the type (aspect) of the reach action produced in the case.

When the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on, the label -TRND-RT1 starts from "0", is incremented by 1 every interruption time, and returns to "0" when the numerical value becomes "35". The addition is repeated.
The numerical value of the label -TRND-RT1 is acquired when a winning ball to the first-type starting winning opening 10, 11 is detected by the special symbol change start switch, and is compared with a previously assigned reach mode numerical value. , The mode of the reach action to be produced is determined. The label -T
The acquired numerical value of RND-RT1 is the value of R in the main control circuit 70.
In the special symbol random number storage area of the AM 73, a predetermined number, in this example, up to four, except for the numerical value currently determined, is stored.

The labels -TRND-B1, B2 and B3 are
When the big hit determination result by the label -TRND-A is out of order, it is used to determine an out-of-design symbol combination to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the image display unit 50. The label -TRND-B1 is a left special symbol (first stop special symbol) in the left display area, and the label -TRND-B2 is a right special symbol (second stop special symbol) in the right display area, label-
TRND-B3 corresponds to the middle special symbol (third stop special symbol) in the center display area (final stop symbol display area).

The label -TRND-B1 is
When the power is turned on, “1” is added at every interruption time starting from “0”, and after reaching “11”, the addition is repeated starting from “0” again. Also, the label -TRND-B2 starts from '0' when the power is turned on, and the value of the label -TRND-B1 becomes '0' again.
When returning to, '1' is added at a time, and after reaching '11',
The addition is repeated starting from '0' again. further,
The label -TRND-B3 starts from '0' when the power is turned on, is incremented by '1' when the value of the label -TRND-B2 returns to '0' again, and reaches '11'. The addition is repeated starting from '0' again. Thereby, even if the random number ranges of the label-TRND-B1, B2, and B3 are the same, the label-TRND-B
Synchronization (addition with the same combination) of 1, B2 and B3 can be avoided.

The label -TRND-B1, B2, B3
Symbols corresponding to the respective numerical values are assigned in advance to the numerical values. In this embodiment, the labels -TRND-B1, B

'3' for 30,000, '4' for Shiman, '5'
Is 50,000, '6' is 60,000, '7' is 70,000, '8' is 80,000, '9' is 90,000, '10' Is assigned in the case of, and in the case of '11'. Each time a winning ball is detected by the special symbol change start switch, the label -TRN
The combination of the numerical values acquired from DB1, B2, and B3 determines the fixed stop symbol displayed in the left display area, the center display area, and the right display area of the image display unit 50 when the image is deviated. In addition, the acquired numerical values of the labels -TRND-B1, B2, and B3 are a predetermined number in the special symbol random number storage area of the RAM 73 of the main control circuit 70. Is stored.

In this embodiment, the label -TRND-B
1, B2, and B3 match, and label -T
When the reach state is established because the value of RND-R1 is a specific value, 1 is added to the value of label -TRND-B3, and the value is added to the values of labels -TRND-B1, B2.
Each symbol assigned to the numerical value is displayed as a fixed stop. In addition, label-TRND-B1, B
2, when all the numerical values of B3 match and the reach state is not established, and when two numerical values of the labels -TRND-B1 and B2 match (the numerical value of the label -TRND-B3 is different), and the reach state. Does not hold, 1 is added to the numerical value of the label -TRND-B2, and the value is added to the label -TRND-B2.
The symbols assigned to the numerical values of TRND-B1 and BND3 are fixedly stopped and displayed. Furthermore, despite the fact that the reach state is established by the numerical value of the label -TRND-R1 being a specific numerical value, the label -TRN-R1
If the values of D-B1 and B2 do not match, the label-
Force the label of TRND-B2 to label -TRND-B
Change the value to the same value as 1
Forcing the value of ND-B3 to the label -TRND-B
The numerical value is changed to a numerical value obtained by adding 1 to the numerical value of 1, and the changed value and each symbol assigned to the numerical value of the label -TRND-B1 are fixedly stopped and displayed.

Further, in this embodiment, the combination of the symbols assigned to the numerical values of the labels -TRND-B1, B2, and B3 as described above (however, the combination of the left special symbol and the right special symbol in which the reach state is established is obtained) Is a combination of all temporarily stopped symbols before fixed stop (all symbols temporarily stopped display mode) when all special symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed after the reach state is established at the time of the reach X1 effect. That is,
The labels -TRND-B1, B2, and B3 in this embodiment are:
This is also used for determining all temporary stop symbol combinations before final stop.

The label -FRND-A is used to determine a normal symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display section 45 and to judge whether or not the normal symbol has hit or missed. Starting from the above, '1' is added by the above interrupt time, and after reaching '9', '0' is again returned.
, And the addition is repeated. This label-FRN
The numerical value of DA is acquired each time a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol change start left gate 19 and the normal symbol change start right gate 21 is detected by the normal symbol change start switch, and is used for the normal symbol per display being displayed. Up to a maximum of four symbols are stored in the ordinary symbol random number storage area of the RAM 73 of the main control circuit 70, except for the symbol.

Further, a normal symbol corresponding to each numerical value is assigned in advance to the numerical value of the label -FRND-A. In the embodiment, when the acquired numerical value of the label -FRND-A is "1", the acquired numerical value of the label -FRND-A is "1", for example, the ordinary symbol stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 45 becomes "1". It is assigned as a normal symbol to be stopped and displayed on the symbol display section 45. The time required from the start to the stop of the change of the ordinary symbol is about 6 seconds.

Further, in this embodiment, the hit probability of the symbol is normally 1/2, and specifically, the label-
FRND-A is "1", "3", "5",
If it is an odd number of '7' or '9', it is a normal symbol hit, and in the normal gaming state (low probability state), it is 0.
The lower first kind start winning opening 11 of the lower first kind start opening 11 is performed once for three seconds, while the lower first kind start winning opening 11 of 1.7 seconds is used in the probability variation state (high probability state). 3 wide open
Times. The label-FRND
-The acquired numerical value of A is '0', '2', '4', '6',
If it is an even number of “8”, the symbol will usually be out of shape, and the lower first type start winning opening 11 will remain in a narrow and open state.

As the counter, there are other display modes when the special symbol is changed, for example, a counter for selecting a change pattern such as displaying the symbol in a frame-by-frame manner, and a possibility of a big hit or a reach state. A counter for determining whether or not to give a notice for notifying that the price is high, a counter for determining the mode of the notice, a counter for determining whether or not to perform a re-lottery when a big hit is established, and the like are appropriately added. Sometimes.

The plurality of flags provided in the main control circuit 70 or the display control circuit 90 include a jackpot (special game) flag A1, a probability variation flag B1, a reach flag C1, a special game execution flag in this embodiment. D

(S52).

After the random number acquiring process (S50) or after confirming the winning in the first-type starting winning openings 10 and 11 (S40), it is determined whether or not the condition for starting the big hit determination of the image display unit 50 is satisfied. Is confirmed (S60). Here, that the big hit success / failure determination start condition is satisfied means that the special game is not currently being executed or the special symbol is not being changed. If it is determined that the jackpot hit determination start condition is satisfied, the hit hit determination process (S70), the reach determination process (S80), and the reach type determination process (S9)

0), probability setting processing (S170), and special game execution processing (S180). On the other hand, if it is determined in S60 that the jackpot hit determination start condition is not satisfied, the process jumps to the special game execution process (S180).

In the big hit success / failure determination process (S70), FIG.
As shown in (1), first, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag B1 is 1 (S71). When the probability variation flag B1 is 0 instead of 1, that is, in the low probability state (1/315),
The acquired numerical value Q1 of the label -TRND-A is compared with the jackpot numerical values of "5" and "500" (S72). And the big hit flag A1 is 1
And the big hit flag A1 (= 1)
Is stored in the RAM of the main control circuit 70 (S7
3). On the other hand, when the probability variation flag B1 is 1, that is, in the high probability state (5/315), the acquired numerical value Q
1 is the jackpot number '5', '50', '100',
'200', '300', '350', '400',
'450', '500', and '600' (S7
4) If the acquired numerical value Q1 matches any of the jackpot numbers, a jackpot is established, the jackpot flag A1 is set to 1, and the jackpot flag A1 (= 1) is stored in the RAM of the main control circuit 70. (S73). The big hit flag A1 = 1 corresponds to hit information in the game information, and the big hit flag A1 = 0 corresponds to miss information.

In the reach determination processing (S80), the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43 determines whether or not a reach state (big hit or out of reach) is reached.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the reach determination processing (S80), it is first checked whether the big hit flag A1 is 1 (S8).
1) If the big hit flag A1 is not 1 but 0, that is, if the big hit is not established, the stored and obtained numerical value Q2 of the label -TRND-R1 is read, and the obtained numerical value Q2 is set to '2
It is determined whether it is 4 'or' 49 '(S82).
If the values do not match, it is determined that there is no reach (reach state transition is impossible). On the other hand, when the obtained numerical value Q2 is “24” or “49”, it is determined that the reach is made (the reach state can be shifted), the reach flag C1 is set to 1, and the reach flag C is set.
1 (= 1) is stored in the RAM of the main control circuit 70 (S83). Also, when the big hit flag A1 is 1 in S81, that is, when the big hit (special game execution is possible), it is determined that there is reach, and the reach flag C is set.
1 is set to 1 and the reach flag C1 is set.
(= 1) is stored in the RAM of the main control circuit 70 (S83).

In the reach type determination processing (S90), the type (mode) of the reach action for producing a reach state is determined on the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43. As shown in FIG. 10, in the reach type determination processing (S90), first, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag A1 is 1 (S91).
When 1 is not 1, that is, when the big hit is not established, it is further determined whether or not the reach flag C1 is 1, that is, whether or not there is reach (whether or not the reach state transition is possible) (S9).
2). When the reach flag C1 is determined to be 1 and the reach is reached, the stored acquired numerical value Q3 of the label -TRND-RT1 is read out, and the acquired numerical value Q3 is changed from '0' to
It is determined whether it matches any of '2' (S93),
If both values match, a symbol combination based on the acquired numerical values Q6 to Q8 of the labels -TRND-B1 to B3 determined in the final temporary stop special symbol determination process (S150) to be described later (S152). Approximately two-thirds of each symbol is displayed in the symbol temporary stop display area 50a above the image display unit 50.
After a temporary stop display, a plurality of mahjong tiles including the same design as the temporarily stopped design are displayed in the effect display area 50b below the image display unit 50 to produce a mahjong game, and a predetermined role is played. The effect of the reach X1 for which the effect is not established is determined (S95). If the obtained numerical value Q3 does not correspond to any of '0' to '2', it is further determined whether or not the obtained numerical value Q3 matches any of '3' to '9' (S94). , 3 to 9, the acquired numerical value Q of the label-TRND-B1, B2 in the fixed stop special symbol determination process (S130) described later.
6 and Q7 determine the left special symbol and the right special symbol (S1
36, S139, and S141) are temporarily stopped and displayed in the symbol temporary stop display area 50a above the image display section 50, and then the effect display area 50b below the image display section 50.
In addition, a plurality of playing cards different from the temporarily stopped design are displayed to display an image of a playing card game (such as a poker game), and an effect display in which a predetermined combination (royal straight flush) is not realized is performed. The effect of the reach Y1 is determined (S96). On the other hand, S9

In the case of '35', the fixed stop special symbol determination processing (S1
30) about 2/3 of the left special symbol and the right special symbol (S136, S139, S141) determined from the acquired numerical values Q6, Q7 of the labels -TRND-B1, B2,
After a temporary stop display in the symbol temporary stop display area 50a at the upper part of the image display unit 50, a plurality of character images that are character images different from the temporary stop displayed symbols are displayed in the effect display area 50b at the lower part of the image display unit 50. A baseball player (including a batter, a runner, a pitcher, and a fielder) appears, and the effect of the reach Z1, which effects and displays an example of a failed baseball game attack (here, a second fly out), is determined (S9).
7).

Further, if the big hit flag A1 is 1 in S91, that is, if the big hit is established, the label -TRN
The stored numerical value Q3 of D-RT1 is read, and it is determined whether the obtained numerical value Q3 matches any one of '0' to '19' (S98). , A temporary temporary stop special symbol determination process before the final stop (S15)
0), the numerical value Q of the label -TRND-AZ1
The combination of the left special symbol and the right special symbol determined in advance for 4 and the middle special symbol determined for the value obtained by adding 1 to the numerical value Q4 is a combination of 2 symbols of each symbol.
After approximately / 3 is temporarily displayed in the design temporary stop display area 50a at the upper part of the image display unit 50, the effect display area 50b at the lower part of the image display unit 50 is displayed with a design similar to the temporarily stopped design. A plurality of mahjong tiles are displayed to produce a mahjong game, and the effect of the reach X2, which performs an effect display in which a predetermined role (large ternary or small ternary) is established, is determined (S1).
00). If the obtained numerical value Q3 does not correspond to any of '0' to '19', it is further determined whether or not the obtained numerical value Q3 matches any of '20' to '29' (S99). If the number matches the value of the label-TRND-KAZ1 in the temporary jackpot special symbol determination process (S110) described later, the value Q5 (S113)
2/3 of left special symbol and right special symbol determined based on
The degree of design temporary stop display area 50 above the image display unit 50
a, a plurality of playing cards having a design different from the temporarily displayed design are displayed in the effect display area 50b below the image display section 50 to display a playing card game (such as a poker game). The effect of the reach Y2, which displays an image and displays an effect in which a predetermined combination (royal straight flush) is established, is determined (S10).
1). On the other hand, in S99, the acquired numerical value Q3 is' 2
0 'to' 29 ', that is,
When the obtained numerical value Q3 is '30' to '35', the special left symbol and the special right symbol determined based on the numerical value Q5 (S113) of the label -TRND-KAZ1 in the temporary jackpot special symbol determination process (S110). After about 2/3 of the symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the symbol temporary stop display area 50a at the upper part of the image display unit 50, the temporarily stopped symbols are displayed in the effect display area 50b at the lower part of the image display unit 50. A plurality of baseball players (including batters, runners, pitchers, and fielders), which are different character images, appear, and the production of the reach Z2, which produces and displays an example of a successful baseball game attack (here, a home run), is determined. Is performed (S102). After the reach action is determined in S95 to S97 and S100 to S102, the value of the reach flag C1 is set to 0 (S103), and the reach type determination process (S90) ends.

In the temporary jackpot special symbol determination process (S110), when the jackpot is established, before the jackpot symbol combination is fixedly stopped and displayed on the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43 (in this embodiment, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is determined). At the time of stop display and before the re-lottery), a temporary jackpot symbol combination to be temporarily stopped is determined. As shown in FIG. 11, in the temporary jackpot special symbol determination process (S110), first, it is checked whether the jackpot flag A1 is 1 or not (S111). When the jackpot flag A1 is 1, that is, the jackpot (special game execution) If (Yes), the stored numerical value Q3 of the label -TRND-RT1 is read out, and it is determined whether the obtained numerical value Q3 matches any one of '20' to '35' (S112). If the two values match, the stored numerical value Q5 of the label -TRND-KAZ1 is read out, and a predetermined combination of symbols for the obtained numerical value Q5 is displayed on the image display unit 50.
Is determined as a temporary jackpot symbol combination to be displayed in the left display area, the right display area, and the center display area of the image display unit 50, and the determined temporary jackpot symbol combination is displayed after each special symbol is fluctuated for a predetermined time. It is determined that temporary stop display is to be performed (S113).

Re-lottery effect display mode determination processing (S120)
Then, in the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43, after the temporary stop symbol combination is temporarily stopped, the re-lottery effect display mode (type) to be determined at the time of the re-lottery before the big hit symbol combination is determined and stopped is determined. Done. As shown in FIG.
In the re-lottery effect display mode determination process (S120), it is first checked whether the big hit flag A1 is 1 (S12).
1) If the big hit flag A1 is 1, that is, if a big hit (special game execution is possible), the label -TRND-R
The stored numerical value Q3 of T1 is read, and the obtained numerical value Q
It is determined whether or not 3 matches any one of '20' to '35' (S122). If both values match, the stored acquisition numerical value Q4 of the label-TRND-AZ1 is further read. And the obtained numerical value Q4 is “1”, “3”,
It is determined whether it is any one of '5', '7', '9', and '11' (S123), and when both values match, all special symbols of the temporary jackpot symbol combination ( About 2/3 of the left special symbol, the center special symbol, and the right special symbol) are temporarily stopped and displayed in the symbol temporary stop display area 50a on the upper part of the image display unit 50, and then the effect display area 50 on the lower part of the image display unit 50.
In b, it is determined that a mahjong game composed of an image including a symbol having a similar shape to the symbol of the temporary jackpot symbol combination is to be rendered, and that a display in which a predetermined combination (large ternary) is realized is performed (S12).
4). On the other hand, when the obtained numerical value Q4 is “1”, “3”,
If none of '5', '7', '9', and '11' applies, that is, if the obtained numerical value Q4 is '0', '2',
In the case of any of '4', '6', '8', and '10', about 2/3 of all special symbols (left special symbol, center special symbol, right special symbol) of the temporary jackpot symbol combination Is temporarily stopped and displayed in the symbol temporary stop display area 50a above the image display unit 50, and then the effect display area 50 below the image display unit 50 is displayed.
b, the player plays the mahjong game, and decides to display an image in which a predetermined combination (here, small ternary) is realized (S12).
5).

In the fixed stop special symbol determination processing (S130), a special symbol to be fixed (final) stopped and displayed on the image display section 50 of the special symbol display device 43 is determined based on the big hit success / failure determination processing (S70). As shown in FIG. 13, in this fixed stop special symbol determination process (S130),
First, it is determined whether the value of the big hit flag A1 is 1 (S131). When the value is determined to be 1, that is, when a big hit (special game execution is possible), the label -TR
The stored acquired numerical value Q4 of the ND-AZ1 is read out, and a predetermined symbol combination for the acquired numerical value Q4 is determined as a fixed jackpot symbol combination that is fixedly stopped and displayed on the image display unit 50 (S132). ).

On the other hand, if the value of the big hit flag A1 is not 1 in S131, that is, if the value is determined to be 0 and it is determined to be out of range, the label -TRND is determined.
-The stored acquisition values Q6 to Q8 of B1 to B3 are read out,
It is determined whether or not all the numerical values Q6 to Q8 match (S1).
33), when all the numerical values Q6 to Q8 match, it is determined whether there is a reach (out of reach) or not, here, the label -T
RND-R1's stored acquisition value Q2 is '24' or '4'
It is determined whether it is 9 '(S134). When it is determined that there is no reach, the obtained numerical value Q7 of the label -TRND-B2 (for the right special symbol) is added by 1, and the obtained value is added to the obtained numerical values Q6 and Q8 of the labels -TRND-B1 and B3. The predetermined symbol is determined as an off symbol that is fixedly stopped and displayed in the left display area, the center display area, and the right display area of the image display unit 50 (S135). On the other hand, when it is determined in S134 that there is a reach, the obtained numerical value Q8 of the label -TRND-B3 (for special medium symbols) is added by 1, and the obtained value is added to the obtained numerical value Q6 of the label -TRND-B1, B2. A symbol predetermined for Q7 is determined as an off symbol that is fixedly stopped and displayed in each display area (S136).

In step S133, the label -TRND
-At least one of the obtained numerical values Q6 to Q8 of B1 to B3
If the two values are different, the label -TRND-B
It is determined whether or not the obtained numerical value Q6 of 1 and the obtained numerical value Q7 of the label -TRND-B2 match (S137). If both values match, it is further determined whether or not there is reach (S1).
38). And when there is no reach, the label -TR
As an out-of-position symbol in which the obtained numerical value Q7 of ND-B2 is incremented by 1, and a symbol predetermined for the value and the obtained numerical values Q6 and Q8 of the labels -TRND-B1 and B3 is fixedly stopped and displayed in each display area. It is determined (S135). On the other hand, when there is reach, a symbol predetermined for the obtained numerical values Q6 to Q8 of the labels -TRND-B1 to B3 is determined as an off symbol that is fixedly stopped and displayed in each display area (S139).

Further, in step S137, the label-TRND
When the obtained numerical value Q6 of -B1 does not match the obtained numerical value Q7 of the label -TRND-B2, it is subsequently determined whether or not there is a reach (S140). When it is determined that there is a reach, the acquired numerical value Q7 of the label -TRND-B2 is forcibly changed to the same numerical value as the acquired numerical value Q6 of the label -TRND-B1, and the acquired numerical value of the label -TRND-B3 Q8 is forcibly changed to a numerical value obtained by adding 1 to the obtained numerical value Q6 of the label -TRND-B1, and the numerical value and a predetermined symbol for the obtained numerical value Q6 of the label -TRND-B1 are displayed in each display area. (S141). Meanwhile, S140
If it is determined that there is no reach, the label -TRND-
Symbols determined in advance for the obtained numerical values Q6 to Q8 of B1 to B3 are determined as off symbols which are fixedly stopped and displayed in each display area (S139).

All temporary stop special symbol determination processing before final stop (S
In 150), when the big hit does not occur and the reach state is established and the big hit is established, the symbol combination based on the fixed stop special symbol determination process (S130) is displayed on the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43. Before the final (final) stop display, a symbol combination to be temporarily stopped and displayed is determined. As shown in FIG. 14, in the all temporary stop special symbol determination processing before final stop (S150), it is determined whether or not the reach X1 is selected in the reach type determination processing (S90) first, that is, a big hit after the reach. Then, it is determined whether or not it is a predetermined case (S151). When the reach X1 is selected (when the big hit is not established after the reach), the fixed stop special symbol determination processing (S
In 130), the symbol combination determined in S136, S139, and S141 from the numerical values Q6 to Q8 of the labels -TRND-B1 to B3 is temporarily stopped as a special temporary temporary stop before complete stop (all symbol temporary stop display mode). It is determined to display (S152). In S151,
If the reach X1 has not been selected, it is further determined whether or not the reach X2 has been selected in the reach type determination processing (S90), that is, whether or not a predetermined case has been established when the big hit has been established (S153). . Here, when the reach X2 is selected, the label -TR
A symbol combination consisting of a left special symbol and a right special symbol predetermined for the stored and acquired numerical value Q4 of the ND-AZ1 and a middle special symbol determined for a value obtained by adding 1 to the numerical value Q4 is determined. It is determined that the temporary stop display is performed as the all temporary stop special symbol before stop (all symbol temporary stop display mode) (S154). On the other hand, if the reach X2 is not selected in S153, the all temporary stop special symbol determination processing before fixed stop (S150) is immediately terminated.

In the round number selection process (S160), as shown in FIG. 15, first, it is checked whether the big hit flag A1 is 1 or not (S161). When the big hit flag A1 is 1, that is, the big hit (special) In the case of (game execution possible), subsequently, the stored acquired numerical value Q4 of the label -TRND-AZ1 is read, and the acquired numerical value Q4 is set to '0',
It is determined whether or not any one of '2', '4', '6', '8', and '10' is an even number (S162).
Is not even, that is, '1', '3',
If any one of '5', '7', '9', and '11' is an odd number, the number of rounds (the maximum number of times the big hit continuation right occurs) at the time of executing the special game is 13 rounds (times). Is set to (S163). On the other hand, S162
If the stored acquisition numerical value Q4 of the label -TRND-AZ1 is an even number, the number of rounds at the time of executing the special game is set to 15 rounds (times) (S164). In addition,
If the big hit flag A1 is not 1 in S161, the round number selection process (S160) is immediately terminated.

In the probability setting process (S170), as shown in FIG. 16, first, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag A1 is 1 (S171). When the big hit flag A1 is 1, that is, the big hit (special game execution) If the result is “OK”, the stored acquired numerical value Q4 of the label -TRND-AZ1 is read, and the acquired numerical value Q4 is '0', '2', '4',
It is determined whether any one of '6', '8', and '10' is an even number (S172). If the acquired numerical value Q4 is not an even number, that is, '1', '3', '5', '7',
If it is an odd number of '9' or '11', the big hit values in the big hit success / failure determination processing (S70) after the end of the special game are '5', '50', '100', and '20'.
0 ',' 300 ',' 350 ',' 400 ', '45
0 ',' 500 ', and' 600 'are set to high probabilities, and the probability variation flag B1 is set to 1 (S17).
3). On the other hand, in step S172, the label -TRND-AZ1
If the stored acquisition numerical value Q4 is an even number, the big hit value in the big hit success / failure determination process (S70) after the end of the special game is set to “5”, “500” and set to the normal probability (low probability), and the probability variation The flag B1 is set to 0 (S17)
4). If the big hit flag A1 is not 1 in S171, the probability setting process (S170) is immediately terminated.

In the special game execution process (S180), as shown in FIG. 17, first, it is determined whether or not the value of the special game execution flag D1 is 1 (S181).
If not, it is subsequently confirmed whether or not the value of the big hit flag A1 is 1, that is, whether or not the big hit is established (S
182). Then, when the value of the big hit flag A1 is 1, it is confirmed that the big hit display for notifying that the big hit has been made on the image display section 50, in other words, the end of the big hit display time is confirmed (S183). The special game execution flag D1 is set to 1 (S184), and the value of the big hit flag A1 is reset to 0 (S185). At the same time, the opening and closing plate 61 of the special winning opening 15 is opened by exciting the special winning opening solenoid based on the instruction of the special game executing means (in this example, the main control circuit 70 corresponds). The game ball falling on the surface of the area 6 is received, and it is possible to win a prize in the special winning opening 15, that is, the execution of the special game (big hit game) is started (S186). In addition, when the value of the big hit flag A1 is not 1 in S182 and when the big hit display time is not ended in S183, the special game execution processing (S180) is immediately ended.

Specifically, during the execution of the special game, the open / close plate 61 is kept for a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds).
After the elapse or when the number of winning balls detected by the winning ball number counting switch reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10), it closes. Further, each time a specific winning ball detection switch detects a winning ball in the specific area winning opening 63, a right to continue to open the opening / closing plate 61 again is generated. Based on the number of jackpot rounds set in (S160), a predetermined maximum number of times (for example, a maximum of 13 or 15 times) is repeated. Then, if any special prize ball is not detected by the specific prize ball detection switch while the opening / closing plate 61 is being opened, or if the special game ending condition that the opening of the opening / closing plate 61 of the maximum number of times is ended is satisfied, The special game ends (S1
87, 188) and the special game execution flag D
The value of 1 is reset to 0 (S189). For a prize in the grand prize mouth 15, a predetermined number per prize,
In the embodiment, 15 game balls are paid out as prize balls by the prize ball payout device. If it is determined in S187 that the special game end condition is not satisfied, the special game execution process (S180) is immediately ended.

In the main processing M of the gaming machine 1, it is confirmed by the detection of the ordinary symbol change start switch whether or not a game ball has passed the aforementioned ordinary symbol change start gates 19 and 21 (S190). If the ball has passed, the updated numerical value Q9 of the label -FRND-A is obtained, and then the obtained numerical value Q9 is
0 is stored in the obtained random number storage area of the RAM, and then a normal symbol hit / fail determination process (S200), a normal symbol display mode determination process (S210), and a start winning opening opening process (S22).
0) is executed. Here, if it is determined in S190 that the game ball has not passed, the routine jumps to the normal symbol display mode determination processing (S210). In addition, label-FRN
Regarding the acquisition of the random number of DA, only the processing shown in FIG.

In the normal symbol hit winning / not judging process (S200), a normal symbol hit (also referred to as small hit) hit / non-judgment determining process for opening the lower first kind start winning opening 11 is performed. This normal symbol hit / fail judgment processing (S200)
Then, the acquired numerical value Q9 of the label-FRND-A is a numerical value per symbol, which is "1", "3", "5", "7",
Compared with any odd number of '9', if the obtained numerical value Q9 is an odd number, it is a normal symbol hit and the normal symbol hit flag E1 is set to 1. Note that the acquired numerical value Q9 is “0”,
If any of '2', '4', '6', and '8' is an even number, it is out of range and the flag E1 per symbol is usually set to 0. Further, the determination as to whether or not the hit is a normal symbol is instantaneously performed at the time of starting the variable symbol display on the normal symbol display section 45.

In addition, the normal symbol hit / fail determination processing (S2)
00), the obtained numerical value Q9 of the label-FRND-A
Is selected as a stopped ordinary symbol (judgment result of the ordinary symbol hit / fail judgment process) to be stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 45. In this embodiment, the acquired numerical value Q9 of the label -FRND-A is assigned as a normal symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display section 45 as it is.

In the ordinary symbol display mode determination processing (S210), first, the ordinary symbol hit / fail determination processing (S20)
At 0), it is confirmed whether or not there is a selection of a stopped ordinary symbol. If the selected ordinary symbol is selected, after confirming that the ordinary symbol variation display is not being performed on the ordinary symbol display section 45, the probability variation flag B1 is set to 1. It is determined whether or not it is set, that is, whether or not the probability is changing (the symbol changing time is being shortened). If the probability is changing, the shortened variable display time (for example, about 5.9 seconds) is changed to the normal symbol. After the variable display on the display unit 45,
It is determined that the stopped ordinary symbol selected in the ordinary symbol hit / fail determination processing (S200) is fixedly stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 45. On the other hand, when it is determined that the probability is not fluctuating, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the ordinary symbol display section 45 for a normal variable display time (for example, about 11.8 seconds), and then the normal symbol hit determination is performed. Processing (S20
The stopped ordinary symbol selected in 0) is displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 4.
5, it is determined that a fixed stop display is to be performed.

In the start winning opening opening process (S220), as shown in FIG. 18, first, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol hit is established, that is, the normal symbol hit flag E
It is determined whether or not the value of 1 is 1 (S221). If the two values match, it is confirmed that the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display section 45 has stopped (S222), and the lower first type 1 winning prize port 11 is present. After confirming that is not opened (S223),
The lower first kind start winning opening 11 is opened and opened (S22).
4).

Thereafter, the value of the probability variation flag B1 becomes 1
If the value of the flag B1 is 1, that is, if it is determined that the probability is currently fluctuating, the lower first type start winning opening 11 is opened for 1.7 seconds. Has been performed three times (S226), or whether the number of winning balls in the first-class starting winning openings 10 and 11 reaches six (S22).
When any one of the conditions of 7) is satisfied, the opening and closing of the lower first type start winning opening 11 is ended (closed) (S22).
8), the value of the ordinary symbol hit flag E1 is reset to 0 (S229), and the starting winning opening processing (S22).
0) is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S225 that the value of the probability variation flag B1 is not 1, that is, if it is determined that the game is in the normal game state, the opening and closing time of the lower first type start winning opening 11 is set to 0. .3 seconds have passed (S2
30) Alternatively, when the number of winning balls in the first-type start winning openings 10 and 11 reaches six (S227), the lower first-type start winning opening 11 is expanded. The opening / opening is ended (closed) (S228), the value of the ordinary symbol hit flag E1 is reset to 0 (S229), and the start winning opening opening process (S220) ends.

In the main processing M of the gaming machine 1,
A display device display process (S240) is performed on the display device 9, more specifically, on the ordinary symbol display unit 45 of the ordinary symbol display device 41 or the image display unit 50 of the special symbol display device 43. In this display device display processing (S240), FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, each of the above-described processes, for example, the reach type determination process (S90), the temporary big hit special symbol determination process (S90)
110), re-lottery effect display mode determination processing (S120),
A command (instruction signal) corresponding to the item determined in the fixed stop special symbol determination process (S130), the all temporary stop special symbol determination process before fixed stop (S150), the normal symbol display mode determination process (S210), etc. is displayed. It is transmitted to the control circuit 90 (S241), and the normal symbol display section 45 or the image display section 50 is displayed based on the command.

A first specific example of the process related to the special symbol display in the display device display process will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, when a game ball wins in the first kind start winning opening, although not shown, a left display area of the image display section 50 of the special symbol display device 43,
The scroll (vertical scroll in the figure) of each special symbol starts to fluctuate in the right display area and the center display area. After a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the scroll fluctuation (including at the start of the scroll fluctuation), when it is determined that the reach has not been made in the reach type determination processing (S90) and the reach has been made (in the case of the out-of-reach information), or (In the case of hit information), and further reach X1 or reach X
20 (S95, S100), when the reach X1 information and the reach X2 information are determined, as shown in FIG. 20, the left special symbol in the left display area and the right special symbol in the right display area. In the order of (S152, S1) in the all temporary stop special symbol determination process before fixed stop (S150)
The special symbol (the left special symbol S1 and the right special symbol S2 in the figure) in which the scroll fluctuation ends in the symbol (“medium” in the figure) determined in step 54 and is in the reach state is repeatedly swung up and down. To display a temporary stop.

Then, the effect determination of the reach X1 (S9)
If 5) has been performed, as shown in FIG. 21, the middle special symbol in the central display area is processed in the all temporary stop special symbol determination process before fixed stop (S150) (S15).
The scroll change ends with the symbol (“white” in the figure) determined in 2), and the left special symbol S1 and the right special symbol S
Along with 2, a special symbol temporary stop display mode in which the middle special symbol S3 is repeatedly shaken up and down is produced. In addition, when the effect determination of the reach X2 has been determined (S100), the middle special symbol is determined by the process (S154) in the all temporary stop special symbol determination process before fixed stop (S150) (S154). In this example, the scroll movement ends at 'white'), and as in the above-described production determination of reach X1, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the middle special symbol S3 is swung up and down repeatedly together with the left special symbol S1 and the right special symbol S2 to produce an all symbol temporary stop display mode.
