It is controlled so that the value of each privilege game state is different, that is, the longer the symbol variation time, the greater the number of probability variations. As a result, the longer the symbol variation time, the more advantageous the bonus game state for the player.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart for explaining the main part of the processing executed by the main control unit (200) according to this embodiment. First, in step S500, the main control unit
(200) executes a signal input check process for determining whether or not a signal from the special symbol starting switch (150) is input. When it is determined that the signal from the special symbol starting switch (150) is input (YES), the process proceeds to step S501.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the signal from the special symbol starting switch (150) is not input (NO), the process here is ended.

In step S501, the main controller (20
The item (0) executes a lottery process based on a predetermined probability as to whether or not a special prize state should be generated. By the lottery process, the symbol variation designation information, the stop symbol designation information, and the variation stop designation information described above are respectively selected, and the process proceeds to step S502. At this time, if a special prize state occurs, RAM
The special prize flag is stored in the predetermined area of (202). In this step S501, in the selected symbol variation designation information,
If any of the variation patterns 7, 9, 10 is included, one privilege game corresponding to each variation pattern is selected.

In step S502, the main controller (20
0), the display command information consisting of the symbol variation designation information, the stop symbol designation information and the variation stop designation information selected in step S501 is transmitted to the special symbol display device (14). As a result, the special symbol display device (14) executes the symbol variation control based on the received display command information, and can notify the player whether or not the special prize state and the privilege game are to be generated.

In step S503, the main controller (20
0) executes a flag check process for determining whether or not the prize state flag is stored in step S501. If it is determined that the special prize state flag is stored (YES), the process advances to step S504, and the main control unit (200) determines that the special winning opening (1
9) The prize state processing for driving and controlling the special winning opening operating solenoid (180) for controlling the opening of the wide door is executed. On the other hand, it is determined that the prize state flag is not stored (NO)
Then, the process proceeds to step S505. The prize state flag is stored in the predetermined area of the RAM (202) only when the variation patterns 2, 4, 6, 8, 11 shown in FIG. 4 are selected.

During the prize state processing, the main control unit (200) waits 30 seconds after the signal from the special winning opening switch (190) is input 10 times or the special winning opening (19) is opened. After a lapse of time, drive control for closing the special winning opening (19) is executed. When a detection signal from the specific area switch (195) is input, it is closed and then opened again. This is set to be repeatable up to 15 times.

In step S505, the main controller (20
0) executes a flag check process for determining whether or not the privilege game flag is stored in step S501. Here, if it is determined that the privilege game flag is stored (YES), the process proceeds to step S506, while if it is determined that the privilege game flag is not stored (NO), the process here is ended. The bonus game flags are the fluctuation patterns 7, 9, 10 shown in FIG.
Is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (202) only when is selected.

Finally, in step S506, the main control unit (200) executes the control to improve the probability that the special prize state will be generated as the grant of the selected privilege game until the number of times the special symbol changes reaches a predetermined number. To do.

According to the above-described embodiment, even if the variable display time exceeds the predetermined time (30 seconds) and the final display result does not become the predetermined specific display result, the subsequent game is performed. Is in the privilege game state, so that the player can continue the game without being dissatisfied with the specific fixed display result.

Further, since the value of the privilege game is different depending on the variable display time satisfying the predetermined condition, the contents of the game are diversified, and the excitement for the variable display of the identification information is further improved. Further, in the fluctuation patterns 7, 9, 10, the longer the fluctuation display time, the longer the fluctuation time is because the privilege game state is set to be more advantageous to the player (the number of probability fluctuations increases). Even then, the player will not feel bored in the game.

Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. In this embodiment, when the variable display time exceeds the predetermined time and the display result to be confirmed and displayed does not become the specific display result set in advance, the lottery notification of whether or not to grant the privilege game state is performed, and further The lottery probability is changed according to the variable display time that satisfies the predetermined condition.

FIG. 6 is a symbol variation designation for designating the symbol variation start of the special symbol display device (14) among the display command information stored in the ROM (201) and designating the symbol variation time and the symbol variation mode. It is a list figure showing a variation pattern of a pattern for explaining information.

The symbol variation designation information is variation patterns 1 to 1.
1 fluctuation patterns are included, and each fluctuation pattern
The symbol variation time of 5 to 51 seconds is set, respectively, and the display result content is set to be a specific display (a special prize state is generated) or a deviant display.

When the variation patterns 7, 9 and 10 (display result contents are out of display) are displayed, it is a special game state that is advantageous to the player, that is, a specific display in a mode different from the prize state. The probability becomes a high probability state,
1/10, 1
The winning probabilities of / 5 and 1/2 are set to be executed respectively.

In the privilege game state, among all 11 kinds of symbol designating information, the value of the privilege game state is different only in the variation pattern in which the symbol variation time is 30 seconds or more and the predetermined condition for the display is deviated. As such, the longer the symbol variation time, the higher the probability of winning, which is the probability variation. As a result, the longer the symbol variation time, the more advantageous the bonus game state for the player.

Three lottery probability variable setting data tables having different lottery probabilities in the privilege game state are stored in the ROM (201) and the main controller (200) changes the variation pattern 7,
When 9 and 10 are selected, the lottery is executed by the corresponding lottery probability variable setting data table. Notification according to this lottery result is a special symbol display device (1
The winning display is displayed on the LCD display (370) of 4).

FIG. 7 is a flow chart for explaining a main part relating to another embodiment among the processes executed by the main control part (200). First, in step S700, the main control unit (200) executes a signal input check process for determining whether or not a signal from the special symbol starting switch (150) is input. When it is determined that the signal from the special symbol starting switch (150) is input (YES), the process proceeds to step S701. On the other hand, if it is determined that the signal from the special symbol starting switch (150) is not input (NO), the process here is ended.

In step S701, the main controller (20
The item (0) executes a lottery process based on a predetermined probability as to whether or not a special prize state should be generated. By the lottery process, the above-described symbol variation designation information, stop symbol designation information, and variation stop designation information are respectively selected, and the process proceeds to step S702. At this time, if a special prize state occurs, the RAM
The special prize flag is stored in the predetermined area of (202).

In step S702, the main controller (20
0) determines whether or not the symbol variation designation information selected by the process of step S701 is the specific symbol variation designation information. Specifically, the fluctuation patterns 7, 9, 1 shown in FIG.
It is determined whether 0 is selected. Fluctuation pattern 7,
If it is determined that 9 and 10 have been selected (YES), step S7
If it is determined that the fluctuation patterns 7, 9, and 10 are not selected (NO), the process proceeds to step S704.

In step S703, the main controller (20
0) executes the lottery as to whether or not to grant the privilege gaming state, according to the selected lottery probability variable setting data table. For example, when the variation pattern 7 is selected, it is set to be executed by the lottery probability variable setting data table with the corresponding winning probability 1/10.

In step S704, the main controller (20
0) is a special symbol for the bonus game lottery notification command information, when the display command information and the bonus game lottery notification consisting of the symbol variation designation information, the stop symbol designation information and the variation stop designation information selected in step S701 are performed. Send to display device (14). As a result, the special symbol display device (14) executes the symbol variation control based on the received display command information, and can inform the player whether or not the special prize state and the privilege game state are generated.

In step S705, the main controller (20
0) executes a flag check process for determining whether or not the special prize state flag is stored in step S701. If it is determined that the special prize state flag is stored (YES), the process proceeds to step S706, where the main control unit (200) determines that the special winning opening (1
9) The prize state processing for driving and controlling the special winning opening operating solenoid (180) for controlling the opening of the wide door is executed.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the special prize state flag is not stored (NO), the flow shifts to step S707. The prize status flags are the fluctuation patterns 2, 4, 6, 8,
Only when 11 is selected is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (202).

In step S707, the main controller (20
0) executes a flag check process for determining whether or not the privilege game flag is stored in step S501. If it is determined that the privilege game flag is stored (YES), the process proceeds to step S708, while if it is determined that the privilege game flag is not stored (NO), the process here is ended. The privilege game flag is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (202) only when the lottery result in which the privilege game state occurs in step S703.

Finally, in step S708, the main control unit (200) executes control so as to improve the probability that the prize state will occur until the prize state occurs a predetermined number of times (for example, once).

According to the other embodiment described above, even when the variable display time exceeds the predetermined time (30 seconds) and the display result to be confirmed and displayed does not become the predetermined specific display result, Since the symbol display device (14) notifies the lottery result of the privilege game state, the player can continue the game without dissatisfaction with the specific display result.

Further, since the possibility of granting the privilege game state is different depending on the variable display time satisfying the predetermined condition, the contents of the game are diversified, and the variation display of the identification information and the lottery notification of the privilege game state are given. Interestingness for is further improved. Furthermore, as the variable display time satisfying the predetermined condition is longer, the possibility of granting the privilege game state is improved, so that the player does not feel bored in the game even if the variable time is long.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the privilege game state, improving the lottery probability of the normal symbol, shortening the variation time of the special symbol or the regular symbol than usual, increasing the number of prize balls, and the like. Further, it goes without saying that various numerical values (symbol fluctuation time, number of probability fluctuations, winning probability of privilege gaming state, etc.) shown in the present embodiment may be appropriately changed.

Further, when the special symbols in a plurality of rows are in a predetermined display mode, the game machine is described in which the special winning opening (19) is opened. However, in the present invention, the predetermined symbols are specified. Due to the display result, the predetermined winning opening is opened (a gaming state that is advantageous to the player), and when the game ball is won in the predetermined winning opening during the opening period, the specific winning device is opened. The present invention can also be applied to a game machine, a slot machine, or the like that serves as an opportunity.
