JP-A-3-191971

  In this gaming machine, a variable display device, and a first movable member and a second movable member that can be converted into a first state and a second state that are disadvantageous to the player are arranged on the surface of the game board in an opposing manner. A variable winning device provided so as to be rotatable, a specific winning opening for starting the movement of the movable member when the ball wins, and an auxiliary game means for converting the winning value of the winning ball to the variable winning device according to the game result; And rotating the variable winning device based on the game result of the auxiliary gaming means, moving the first movable member when the auxiliary game result is in the general state, and rotating the variable winning device when in the special state. The second movable member is movable, and for the winning balls to the variable winning device, the number of winning balls determined by the winning ball discharge control device is discharged by the winning ball discharge device.

Then, variable display of the variable display device is started by winning at the start opening, the first movable member of the variable winning device is opened and closed, the variable display device is stopped by winning the game ball to the variable winning device, and the specific winning When winning the mouth, if the stop result mode of the variable display device is 7, the first special game (second movable member, 13 award balls), otherwise the second A special game (first movable member, 7 prize balls) is performed.
Since the gaming machine has a plurality of movable members and each movable member can be opened and closed, it is possible to play a game as if it were equipped with a plurality of variable winning devices.
In addition to this, there is a gaming machine provided with two types of variable winning devices, which performs auxiliary games with one variable winning device.

However, since the conventional gaming machine has a configuration in which one variable winning device is selected from among a plurality of units that execute the jackpot depending on the result mode of the variable display device, there are two types of variable winning devices. There is a problem that the auxiliary game is performed only with one variable winning device, and the game is apt to become monotonous and easily bored.
For example, in the case of a variable prize device having a plurality of movable members, the variable prize device is rotated based on the auxiliary game result, and the first movable member or the second movable member is selected. Similarly, the game is monotonous. It was easy to get tired.
Also, once a jackpot occurs, the player is only interested in the continuity of the cycle game, and when the jackpot ends, the player returns to the normal state and expects that the jackpot will be generated continuously. I could n’t wait.

  In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a variety of games have a great sense of expectation and can enhance the interest of the game.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 includes a first movable member that can be converted into a closed state and an open state, a first specific region, and a general winning region. A first auxiliary game that converts the first movable member into an open state for a predetermined time upon establishment, and a game ball received in the first auxiliary game wins the first specific area, thereby causing the first movable member to move to the first specific area. A first variable winning device capable of executing a first special game that is converted to an open state for a longer time than one auxiliary game;
A second movable member that can be converted into a closed state and an open state, a second specific region, and a general winning region are provided, and the second movable member is converted into an open state for a predetermined time when the second start condition is satisfied. A second special game in which a second auxiliary game and a game ball received in the second auxiliary game win the second specific area, thereby converting the second movable member into an open state for a longer time than the second auxiliary game. A second variable winning device capable of

Configuring a winning percentage of game balls to the second specific area in the second auxiliary game higher than a winning percentage of game balls to the first specific area in the first auxiliary game;
When the extracted random value is a specific determination value, the variable display game is stopped in the stop result mode corresponding to the first auxiliary game, the first start condition is satisfied, and the extracted random value is specified. In the case other than the determination value, auxiliary game determination control means for stopping the variable display game in the stop result mode corresponding to the second auxiliary game and establishing the second start condition is provided.

The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the probability that the extracted random number value is determined to be a specific determination value is set to a high probability,
The auxiliary game determination control means includes
When the extracted random number value is a specific determination value after the first special game or the second special game is finished until the variable display game is executed a predetermined number of times, the stop corresponding to the second auxiliary game is performed. In the result mode, the variable display game is stopped and the second start condition is established. When the extracted random number value is other than a specific determination value, the variable display game is displayed in the stop result mode corresponding to the first auxiliary game. And a special gaming state that satisfies the first start condition is generated.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the present invention, a number-of-times determining means capable of executing a number-of-times determining game for determining the predetermined number of times of the special gaming state is provided.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein during the variable display game, during the first auxiliary game, during the second auxiliary game, and during the first special game. And a starting storage means capable of storing a starting right that is not used for executing the variable display game when a game ball wins the starting opening at any one time during the second auxiliary game. It is characterized by that.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first auxiliary game having a low winning rate of the game ball to the first specific region or the high winning rate of the game ball to the second specific region is determined according to the stop result mode of the variable display game. Since it is determined which of the two auxiliary games is executed, the interest is further increased as compared with the monotonous game in which the auxiliary game is performed with the variable winning device determined by winning at the conventional start opening.
That is, compared to the conventional case where only one variable winning device is used for assisting games, a plurality of variable winning devices are used to perform a plurality of auxiliary games. You can increase the interest of the game.

According to the invention described in claim 2, after the special game ends, the appearance rate of the stop result mode changes until the variable display game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, twice), and the second special game is continuously generated. Because there is a chance, the player can have a sense of expectation.
In particular, even after the jackpot is over, there can be an expectation whether or not the jackpot will be generated continuously, and the expectation for the game is remarkably increased.
In addition, the adjustment of the launching force of the player's ball affects whether or not the second special game is continuously generated, so there is room for the player's technical intervention, which further enhances the player's interest be able to.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the number of executions of the special game state is determined in another game, and the degree of expectation as to whether or not the second special game is continuously generated depends on the determined number of executions. In addition to the game using the variable display device, the player can have a sense of expectation and can enhance the interest of the game.
According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the start storage means is provided so that the winning at the start port is not invalidated. In addition, since the start memory is accumulated even during the special game, the special game is smoothly performed, and there is an effect that the player is not frustrated without winning the start opening.

Hereinafter, an example in which the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine will be described.
A. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a game board of a pachinko machine (game machine). In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a game board, and a game area 3 is formed by surrounding a substantially circular area on the front surface with a guide rail 2.
In the game board 1, a first variable winning device 11 according to the present invention is disposed on the upper side of the center of the game area 3, and a second variable winning device 12 is disposed on the lower side.
The first variable winning device 11 includes a first movable member 13 that can be converted between a closed state and an open state, a first specific region 14, a general winning region 15, a special symbol display device 16, and a special symbol memory display. 17.
The first movable member 13 includes a pair of movable pieces, and the pair of movable pieces are controlled to be opened and closed so that the sphere can be received inside in the open state, and it is difficult to receive the sphere inside in the closed state. It has become. Although the first movable member will be described with reference numeral 13, for the sake of convenience in FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 represents a state in which the pair of movable pieces of the first movable member are opened left and right, and reference numeral 13s represents the first. 1 The movable member represents a closed state.
The first specific area 14 corresponds to a so-called V prize opening and is a prize opening for the condition for starting the first special game. In addition, the general winning area 15 is formed on both sides of the first specific area 14 and is just a winning opening for a winning ball, like the general winning opening. The probability of entering the first specific area 14 (that is, the V winning rate) is 1/13.

On the other hand, the second variable winning device 12 includes a second movable member 21 that can be converted between a closed state and an open state, a second specific region 22, and a general winning region 23. The second movable member 21 includes a pair of movable pieces, and the pair of movable pieces is controlled to be opened and closed so that the sphere can be received inside in the open state, and the sphere can be difficult to receive inside in the closed state. It has become.
Although the second movable member will be described with reference numeral 21, for the sake of convenience in FIG. 1, reference numeral 21 represents a state in which the pair of movable pieces of the second movable member is open left and right, and reference numeral 21s represents the first. 2 The movable member represents a closed state. In addition, three obstacle nails 50 are arranged almost directly above the second movable member 21, and when the second movable member 21 is closed (21s state), the ball is the second variable winning device 12. It is almost impossible to win a prize inside.
The second specific area 22 corresponds to a so-called V prize opening and is a prize opening for conditions for starting the second special game. The general winning area 23 is formed as a winning opening other than the first specific area 22. That is, in the case of the second variable winning device 12, the disk-shaped rotating body 24 is provided, and six fitting holes that can engage pachinko balls are formed around the rotating body 24, one of which is provided. The fitting holes are in the second specific area 22 and the remaining five fitting holes are in the general winning area 23. Therefore, the probability that the pachinko ball fits into the second specific area 22 is 1/6 (that is, in the case of the second variable winning device 12, the V winning rate = 1/6). This is higher than the V winning rate (1/13) of the first variable winning device 11.

In the game area 3 on both the left and right sides of the second variable winning device 12, special figure starting ports 31 and 32 are arranged, and the special figure starting ports 31 and 32 are special symbol displays provided in the first variable winning device 11. This is a winning opening for accepting a start winning for starting the variable display of the symbol of the device 16 (however, the starting memory is within a range of four). Note that the symbol variation time of the special symbol display device 16 is about 1 second.
The special symbol display device 16 (corresponding to the variable display device) displays a plurality of identification information (hereinafter also referred to as special drawings) based on the start winning prize. Here, two special symbols “1” and “2” are displayed. The symbols are displayed in a variable manner, and any symbol is stopped and displayed. The probability that “1” appears is set to 99/100, and the probability that “2” appears is set to 1/100.

  In this case, random numbers are extracted based on the start winning prize, and a plurality of pieces of identification information (special figures) are displayed on the special symbol display device 16 on the basis of the extracted random number values. And when the extracted random number value is a specific determination value, it corresponds to the first auxiliary game in which the first movable member 13 in the first variable winning device 11 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds). Control is performed to stop the variable display game in the stop result mode (in this case, the symbol “1”) and to establish the first start condition. On the other hand, when the extracted random number value is other than a specific determination value, it corresponds to the second auxiliary game in which the second movable member 21 in the second variable winning device 12 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 1.0 second). The variation display game is stopped and the second start condition is established in the stop result mode (in this case, the symbol “2”). These controls correspond to the function of the auxiliary game determination control means.

  That is, when the symbol of the special symbol display device 16 is variably displayed based on the start winning prize and stops at the symbol “1”, the first starting condition is established and the first movable member 13 of the first variable prize winning device 11 is moved. The first auxiliary game that is opened for 0.4 seconds is executed. Further, when stopped at the symbol “2”, the second auxiliary game is executed by satisfying the second starting condition and opening the second movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12 for 1.0 second. Take control.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a random number is extracted based on the start winning prize, and the stop symbol of the special symbol display device 16 is determined based on the extraction result of the random value. In this case, the extracted random value is a specific value. Probability (99/100) determined as a determination value (determination value as a symbol of “1”) is a probability of extracting a determination value other than a specific determination value (determination value as a symbol of “2”) The probability is set higher than (1/100). This is a normal probability. As will be described later, when the probability changes, this is the reverse relationship, and the probability that the symbol “2” appears is 99/100 (details will be described later).
The first variable winning device 11 performs a first auxiliary game that opens the first movable member 13 for 0.4 seconds when the first start condition is satisfied, and the game ball received in the first auxiliary game is the first one. A first special game is executed in which the first movable member 13 is opened for a longer time than the first auxiliary game by winning a prize in one specific area 14.

Here, the first special game is a big hit using the first variable winning device 11, and the probability of winning in the first specific area 14 is 1/13, the number of winning balls is 10, and the big hit is continued. The round continues when the ball passes through the first specific area 14 (V passing), the first movable member 13 is opened or closed 18 times or 10 rounds (winning to the general prize area 15), the round ends, the highest The number of continuations is 8 times. Note that the number of winning balls is ten when the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is opened and one ball is won in the general winning area 15 and is discharged corresponding to one winning. This means that the number of prize balls is ten. The average number of rounds is about 4 times.
When the first auxiliary game is opened for a longer time than the first auxiliary game in which the first movable member 13 is opened for 0.4 seconds, the big hit game corresponding to the first special game is first. This means that the movable member 13 is opened / closed 18 times or opened only during 10 winnings, so that it takes a long time.

On the other hand, the second variable prize winning device 12 performs the second auxiliary game in which the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 second by the establishment of the second start condition, and the game ball received in this second auxiliary game The second special game is executed in which the second movable member 21 is opened for a longer time than the second auxiliary game by winning the second specific area 22.
The second special game here is a big hit using the second variable winning device 12, and the probability of winning in the second specific area 22 is 1/6 as described above, and the number of winning balls is 13. The big hit is that the second movable member 21 is opened and closed 18 times or 10 pieces are won (winning to the general winning area 23), the round ends, and the maximum number of continuations is 8 times. The number of prize balls of 13 means that when the first movable member 21 of the second variable prize-winning device 12 is opened and one ball is won in the general prize area 23, it is discharged corresponding to one prize. This means that the number of prize balls is 13.
When the second auxiliary game is opened for a longer time than the second auxiliary game in which the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 second, the big hit game corresponding to the second special game is second. This means that the movable member 21 is opened / closed 18 times or opened only during 10 winnings, so that it takes a long time.

In the present embodiment, based on the winning rate (1/13) of the game ball to the first specific area 14 in the first auxiliary game of the first variable winning device 11, the second variable game device 12 in the second auxiliary game 2 The winning rate (1/6) of the game ball to the specific area 22 is set higher.
Further, in the present embodiment, a special game state is generated, and the special game state means that after the first special game or the second special game is finished, the variable display game of the special symbol display device 16 is repeated a predetermined number of times (here In the case where the extracted random number value is a specific determination value until it is executed, the variable display game is stopped in the stop result mode corresponding to the second auxiliary game (that is, the symbol “2”) and the second When the start condition is satisfied and the extracted random number value is other than the specific determination value, the variable display game is stopped in the stop result mode corresponding to the first auxiliary game (that is, the symbol “1”) and the first start is started. The condition is satisfied. This function is realized by the auxiliary game determination control means.
Since such a special game state is generated, after the special game (big hit) ends, the special symbol display device 16 stops until the variable display game of the special symbol display device 16 is executed a predetermined number of times (twice). The appearance rate of the aspect changes, and there is a chance that the second special game is continuously generated.

Returning to the description of the game board surface again, the special symbol memory display 17 provided in the first variable prize winning device 11 wins balls in the special figure starting ports 31 and 32 within four ranges (that is, starting prizes). Is displayed and stored. Specifically, the special symbol memory display 17 has four LEDs, and these LEDs are turned on (lighted and started and stored) to display the starting memory. In addition, although the start memory is set to 4 pieces, it is not restricted to this, For example, the number of 5 or more may be sufficient. When a ball enters the special drawing start ports 31, 32, there are five prize balls.
The game area 2 is further provided with two general winning ports 41 and 42, an out-ball inflow port 43, hitting direction changing members 44 to 49 called windmills, and a number of obstacle nails (not shown). In addition, a game board decoration member 51 (including an LED, for example) is disposed around the game board 1, and side lamps 52 and 53 are disposed. The side lamps 52 and 53 are electric decoration members that decorate the game by blinking or lighting, for example, at the time of reach or big hit. When a ball enters the general winning openings 41 and 42, there are five prize balls.

A plurality of winning holes provided on the game board 1, that is, the special figure starting ports 31, 32, the first variable winning device 11, the second variable winning device 12, and the general winning ports 41, 42 will be described later.

During any of the first special game and the second auxiliary game of the second variable prize winning device 12, the game ball wins the special figure starting port 31, 32, and the variable symbol display game of the special symbol display device 16 still remains. The start right which is not used for execution of is stored in 4 ranges.

C. Next, before describing the control flow of the game control device 100, an outline of the game performed in the pachinko machine of this example will be described.
When a game ball that is driven into the game area 3 through the guide rail 2 wins either of the special drawing start ports 31 and 32, the special symbol display device 16 arranged in the first variable winning device 11 displays the special ball. The variation display of the figure is performed, and the variation display game is performed. Then, when the variable display game result is stopped at the symbol “1”, the first auxiliary game is performed by the first variable winning device 11 and the first movable member 13 is opened for 0.4 seconds. Further, when stopped at the symbol “2”, the second auxiliary game is performed by the second variable winning device 12 and the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 second.

When the first movable member 13 is opened in the first variable winning device 11 and the ball wins the first specific area 14, a first special game (a big hit in the first variable winning device 11) occurs. Thereafter, the maximum number of continuations of the round can be up to 8 on condition that a ball is awarded to the first specific area 14 (V prize). In this case, however, in each round, the game can be performed until the first movable member 13 satisfies either 18 times of opening and closing or 10 winnings, but if there is a V winning in the middle of the round, it immediately shifts to the next round. (If there is no V prize, the first special game ends). That is, even if it does not satisfy the condition of opening / closing 18 times or winning 10 pieces, it immediately shifts to the next round with V winning. Therefore, if there is a V prize, it continues until the maximum number of continuations of the round reaches eight.
On the other hand, when the second movable member 21 is opened in the second variable winning device 12 and the ball wins the second specific area 22, a second special game (a big hit in the second variable winning device 12) occurs. Thereafter, even if there is no ball winning (V winning) in the second specific area 22, the round game is performed until the second movable member 21 satisfies either 18 opening / closing or 10 winning, and the maximum number of rounds that can be continued Continue until 8 times.

The V winning rate is lower in the first variable winning device 11 (1/13), higher in the second variable winning device 12 (1/6), and in the second auxiliary game in the second variable winning device 12 Since the opening time of the second movable member 21 is long, there is a chance for the second variable prize winning device 12 to be able to win a big hit for the first time. Therefore, a big hit is likely to occur in the second variable winning device 12, and the first variable winning device 11 is for so-called biting, and the second variable winning device 12 increases the player's acquired balls.
After the big win by the first variable winning device 11 or the second variable winning device 12, the special symbol display device 16 is in a special game state for a predetermined number of times (twice), and the probability change causes a big hit probability. Is up. In the probability variation, the probability that the symbol “1” appears on the special symbol display device 16 is 1/100, the probability that the symbol “2” appears is 99/100, which is in a reverse relation to the normal time, and the player For this, there is a chance that the second special game is continuously generated, which is advantageous.
In addition, when a game ball is further won in any of the special figure starting ports 31, 32 during the above-mentioned special figure variable display game or big hit, the special symbol memory display 17 is turned on and, for example, up to four are stored. After the variable display game or the jackpot is over, the variable display game of the above special figure is repeated based on the memory.

D. Operation of Control System Next, the control of the pachinko machine performed by the above-described control system will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
(A) Main routine of game control device First, the main routine of the game control device 100 (game microcomputer 111) will be described. This process is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
When the game control device 100 is activated, initialization processing is performed in step S1, and normality determination processing of the ROM 122, work area initialization in the RAM 123, I / O register setting, system internal register setting processing, flag initialization, and the like are performed. Done.

Next, a stirring random number update process is performed in step S2. This is a process of changing the timing at the start of random number increments irregularly (that is, stirring) to make the random number update irregular.
That is, in the random number update process (step S15) in the timer interruption process described later, the random number related to the special figure is updated, and for example, the symbol of the special symbol display device 16 is determined as the random number related to the special figure. There are random numbers. This random number is more valuable to the player when the auxiliary game (second auxiliary game) is performed with the second variable prize winning device 12, so that a random number that gives a special figure corresponding to the second auxiliary game is given to the player as a sensory device. It is not preferable to aim at.

In the generation of the random number, the random number of the special figure is incremented by, for example, “1” and updated in the range of 1 to 100. For this reason, for example, each time this routine is repeated, the random number of the special figure changes, and the random number extraction value of the big hit (second auxiliary game) keeps atrandomness.
However, in the process of simply updating the special figure random number by increments of “1”, for example, the random number is updated periodically, and for example, there is a fraud aimed at the random number using a sensation machine. In this step S2, random numbers are agitated to make it difficult to predict the random numbers extracted from the outside, and it is possible to eliminate the illegal act of hitting a big hit.

Here, “stirring” means changing the timing irregularly. Specifically, a process for generating a stirring random number for stirring the random number of the special figure is performed in this step S2, and the incremental updating in the random number updating process (step S15) is performed using the stirring random number. To.
Then, for example, in the process of incrementing the random number by “1” in the range of 0 to 100 (this is an example, but not limited to this), the starting point of the increment is changed each time by the random number for stirring. Then, the time interval of the random number extraction timing always fluctuates irregularly, and it is extremely difficult to cheat aiming at the random number even if the sensory device is used.
Step S2 is performed by a loop process, and the random number for stirring is updated.

(B) Timer Interrupt Processing of Game Control Device Next, timer interrupt processing of the game control device 100 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process. This timer interruption process is started by timer activation, and is executed every 0.5 msec, for example.
In this timer interrupt process, first, a register saving or interrupt prohibition process is executed as necessary in step S11, and then an input process is executed in step S12. In this input process, the detection signals of the above-described sensors (count sensors 61 and 62, special drawing start sensors 65 and 66, winning hole sensor A67, winning hole sensor N68, specific area sensors 63 and 64) are read. . Specifically, the output value of each sensor is determined at each timer interruption period, and when the output value of the same level continues for a specified number of times (for example, twice), the level of this output value is detected by each sensor. Read as deterministic value of signal. When it is read that any one of the sensors or switches is read, a flag (input flag) indicating that is set.

Next, output processing is performed in step S13. In this case, output data is set and output to an output port. For example, external information output, solenoid output, gaming machine error state signal, etc. are set and output to the output port.
Next, in step S14, processing (command transmission processing) for transmitting control information (command) to each set control device (production control device 200, discharge control device 300) is executed. Here, for example, transmission of a command for production and editing and transmission of a command for discharge are executed. Thereby, a variable display game in which the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display device 16 by the effect control device 200 is appropriately performed. In addition, a game state effect by sound effects is appropriately performed.
Next, a random number update process is performed in step S15. In the random number update process, the random number in the special figure is updated. For example, the random number is incremented by “1”. The random numbers updated in this way are agitated by the random numbers for agitation generated in the main routine, and are extracted without periodicity.

Next, switch monitoring processing (sensor input monitoring processing) is executed in step S16. This monitors the input flag set as described above, and executes processing such as extracting and storing the value of the special figure random number when the input flag of the special figure start sensor 65, 66 is set, for example. (Details will be described later in a subroutine).
In addition, here, the input flags of the count sensors 61 and 62, the prize opening sensor A67, the prize opening sensor N68, and the specific area sensors 63 and 64 are also monitored, and if the input flag is set, the corresponding processing ( For example, a winning ball count or the like is executed. However, in a subroutine to be described later, only a portion related to the present invention (a portion of the special figure start sensor) is shown.

Next, game processing is performed in step S17. This controls the special symbol display device 16, the first variable winning device 11, and the second variable winning device 12, and details will be described later in a subroutine.
Next, external information editing processing is performed in step S18. Here, the external terminal information (for example, a big hit signal) transmitted from the gaming microcomputer 111 to the external management device via the external output terminal 134 is edited.
Thereafter, in order to resume the main routine in step S19, the saved register is restored, the interrupt is permitted, and the process is interrupted (returned).

Next, a switch monitoring process subroutine in the timer interrupt process will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of switch monitoring processing.
In FIG. 5, when this subroutine is started, it is first determined in step S21 whether or not there is a start prize. That is, it is determined whether or not there is a game ball winning in the special figure starting sensors 65 and 66, and if not, the routine is terminated. If there is a start prize, it is determined in step S22 whether or not the start memory number is less than 4, and if it is not less than 4, start memory is not performed beyond four, so this routine is terminated. On the other hand, if it is less than 4, the process proceeds to step S23, and the special figure start memory is incremented by [1]. In step S24, the special figure random number is extracted and stored based on the start memory. The stop symbol of the special symbol display device 16 is determined based on the random number extracted here. After step S24, the routine is terminated and the process returns.

Next, a game process subroutine in the timer interrupt process will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of game processing.
In FIG. 6, when this subroutine is started, a branch is first made according to the process number in the branch process of step S31. This branching process is a process NO. This is a determination process for performing any one of the following processes according to (process number).
(Step S32: Process number 1: Special figure start process)
In the special chart start process, the start memory is monitored, and if there is a start prize within the range of the start memory number, the fluctuation of the special figure is started and the stop pattern ("1", "2") of the special figure is determined. And an auxiliary game flag and a special game flag are set, and details will be described later in a subroutine. In addition, by appropriately outputting a control signal corresponding to the setting here, display in a special display variable display game or the like is performed according to the setting here.

(Step S33: Process number 2: Symbol stop monitoring process)
In the symbol stop monitoring process, it is monitored whether or not the symbol variation of the special symbol has ended and stopped, and the process number is stored in the corresponding next process (auxiliary game process 1, auxiliary game process 2). Details will be described later in a subroutine.
(Step S34: Process number 3: Auxiliary game process 1)
In the auxiliary game processing 1, whether or not the game ball has won the first specific area 14 is executed by executing the first auxiliary game in which the first movable member 13 is opened for 0.4 seconds by the first variable winning device 11. To judge. Details of the auxiliary game processing 1 will be described later.

(Step S35: Process number 4: Auxiliary game process 2)
In the auxiliary game process 2, whether or not the game ball has won the second specific area 22 is executed by executing the second auxiliary game in which the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 second by the second variable winning device 12. To judge. Details of the auxiliary game process 2 will be described later.
(Step S36: Process number 5: Big hit process 1)
In the big hit process 1, the first special game is performed by the first variable winning device 11, and the ball passes through the first specific area 14, so that the round is continued up to eight times which is the maximum number of consecutive big hits. The details of the jackpot process 1 will be described later.
(Step S37: Process number 5: Big hit process 2)
In the big hit processing 2, the second special game is played by the second variable winning device 12, and the round is continued unconditionally up to eight times that is the maximum number of consecutive big hits even if there is no passing of the ball to the second specific area 22. Let Details of the jackpot processing 2 will be described later.

Next, a special figure starting process subroutine in the game process will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a subroutine for special figure starting processing.
When this subroutine is started, it is first determined in step S41 whether or not the special figure start memory is larger than [0]. If [0], the routine is terminated.
On the other hand, if the special figure start memory is larger than [0], the process proceeds to step S42 and the special figure start memory is decremented by one. This is because the processing corresponding to the start memory is performed in the current routine, so that the number of special figure start memories is reduced by one.

  Next, in step S43, it is determined whether or not there is a special game flag. The special game flag means that after the first special game in the first variable winning device 11 or the second special game in the second variable winning device 12 is finished, the variable display game on the special symbol display device 16 is executed twice. 2 The probability of generating a special game is increased (probability variation), but in order to judge it, the flag that is set until the variable display game of the special symbol display device 16 is executed twice after the end of the big hit is there. That is, if the special game flag = 1, the special figure fluctuation after the big hit is less than 2 times.

If there is no special game flag, it is determined that the special figure fluctuation after the big hit is not in the state of 2 or less, but in the normal state, and is the random value extracted in step S44 a determination value (99/100)? Determine whether or not. If the random value is a value corresponding to the determination value (99/100), the auxiliary game flag 1 is set in step S45, and the process proceeds to step S46. If the random value is not a value corresponding to the determination value (99/100), it is determined that the random value is a value corresponding to the determination value (1/100), and the process jumps to step S46.
In the normal state, the determination value (99/100) corresponds to the random number value of the special figure = 1, and the determination value (1/100) corresponds to the random value of the special figure = 2.

In step S46, it is determined whether or not the auxiliary game flag 1 is present. If the auxiliary game flag 1 is present, the corresponding auxiliary game 1 stop symbol is acquired from the auxiliary game 1 stop symbol storage area in step S47. Next, the stop symbol acquired in step S48 is stored in the stop symbol storage area, the process number is set to “2” in step S49, and the process returns. As a result, if the auxiliary game flag 1 is set, the first variable winning device 11 performs the first auxiliary game (a game in which the first movable member 13 is opened for 0.4 seconds).
On the other hand, if the auxiliary game flag 1 is not set in step S46, the process branches to step S50 to acquire the corresponding auxiliary game 2 stop symbol from the auxiliary game 2 stop symbol storage area, and then proceeds to step S48. Accordingly, if the auxiliary game flag 1 is not set, the second auxiliary game (a game in which the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 second) is performed by the second variable winning device 12.

If there is a special game flag in the above step S43, it is determined that the special figure variation after the big hit is less than twice, the probability variation is performed, and the determination value corresponding to special figure = 2 is 99. The probability is / 100.
That is, the process branches from step S43 to step S51, and it is determined whether or not the extracted random number value is a value corresponding to the determination value (99/100). If the random value is not a value corresponding to the determination value (99/100), the auxiliary game flag 1 is set in step S52, and the process proceeds to step S53. If the random value is a value corresponding to the determination value (99/100), it is determined that the random value is a value corresponding to the determination value (99/100), and the process jumps to step S53. Accordingly, at this time, the auxiliary game flag 1 is not set, and the process of step S50 described later is performed, and the second auxiliary game is performed.

In step S53, the special game counter is decremented by [1]. The special game counter is set to [2] after the big hit, and then the number of times the special figure change is performed is counted down. Therefore, after the initial setting of [2], if there is a special figure change, [1] will be decremented to [1], and if the special figure change is made only twice after the big hit, the count value will be [ 0].
Next, in step S54, it is determined whether or not the special game counter is greater than [0]. If greater than [0], the process branches to step S46. On the other hand, if it is smaller than [0], the process proceeds to step S55, the special game flag is cleared, and the process proceeds to step S46.

Therefore, if the special figure variation after the big hit is less than 2 times, the determination value (99/100) corresponds to the state where the random value is special figure = 2, and the determination value (1/100) is the random value. Corresponds to the state of special figure = 1. In other words, the probability is opposite to that in the normal state, and the probability that the special figure = 2 is increased, and the probability is changed so as to be advantageous to the player.
The processing from step S46 to step S49 is as described above. Therefore, when the special figure variation after the big hit is less than or equal to two times, the probability variation is performed and the probability that the second auxiliary game is performed is increased, which is advantageous to the player. Further, when the special figure fluctuation after the big hit ends is performed twice, the probability fluctuation returns to the normal probability state.
In the present embodiment, there are only two special drawings such as special figure = 1 and special figure = 2. However, the number is not limited to this, and the number of special figures may be set to a number exceeding two. .

Next, a subroutine for the symbol stop monitoring process in the game process will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of symbol stop monitoring processing.
When this subroutine starts, it is first determined in step S61 whether or not there is a stop monitoring end flag. This is a flag for monitoring the time-up of the special figure fluctuation time, and determines whether or not a predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed since the special figure fluctuation command was transmitted. When NO is determined in the step S61, the process proceeds to a step S62 so as to determine whether or not the special figure variation time is up. If the time has not expired, the routine ends.
When the routine is repeated and the time is up, the determination result in step S62 is YES, a stop monitoring end flag is set in step S63, and the process proceeds to step S64. Thereby, since the stop monitoring end flag is set from the next routine, the determination result of step S61 becomes YES and jumps to step S64.

  In step S64, it is determined whether or not a stop symbol display flag is set. This is a flag for stopping the display of the special figure and displaying the stop state for a predetermined time after the stop. If NO in step S64, the process proceeds to step S65 to set symbol stop information. This is a command to stop the fluctuation of the symbol. Next, a stop symbol display time is set in step S66. This is the time for maintaining the state for a predetermined time after the change of the symbol is stopped. Next, in step S67, the stop symbol display flag is set, and the process proceeds to step S68.

In step S68, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol display time has expired. If the time has not expired, the routine is terminated. When the routine is repeated and the time is up, the determination result in step S68 is YES, the stop symbol display flag is cleared in step S69, the stop monitoring end flag is cleared in step S70, and the process proceeds to step S71.
In this way, the special symbol is changed after the symbol variation is performed for a predetermined time, and the stopped state is maintained for the predetermined time. Then, when the stop symbol display time is up, both flags relating to the stop of the special figure are cleared to prepare for the next fluctuation stop.

In step S71, it is determined whether or not there is an auxiliary game 1 flag. The auxiliary game 1 flag may be set in the flow of FIG. 7 described above, and is a game performed by the first variable winning device 11. If there is an auxiliary game 1 flag in step S71, the auxiliary game 1 flag is cleared in step S72, the process number is set to "3", and the process returns. Therefore, in this case, the auxiliary game process 1 corresponding to the process number “3” is executed in the flow of the game process, and the first auxiliary game (the first movable member 13 is set to 0. A game that is open for 4 seconds).
On the other hand, if there is no auxiliary game 1 flag in step S71, the process branches to step S74, the process number is set to “4”, and the process returns. Therefore, in this case, the auxiliary game process 2 corresponding to the process number “4” is executed in the flow of the game process, and the second auxiliary game (the second movable member 21 is set to 1.. A game in which the game is opened for 0 seconds).

Next, a subroutine of the auxiliary game process 1 in the game process will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of auxiliary game processing 1.
When this subroutine is started, it is first determined in step S81 whether or not there is an open wait flag. This is a flag for determining the wait time until the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is opened.

When this subroutine is entered for the first time, the determination in step S81 is NO. If NO in step S81, the process proceeds to step S82 to set auxiliary game 1 start notification information. The auxiliary game 1 start notification information is information for notifying that the auxiliary game 1 will be executed from now on. Then, the set information is transmitted to the effect control device 200 in the command transmission process (step S14) of the timer interrupt process, and the effect of the gaming state is performed by light and sound for the start of the auxiliary game 1. A sense of expectation arises.
Next, in step S83, the opening weight time 1 is set, and here, for example, 0.5 seconds is set. As described above, the open weight time is a time for waiting until the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is opened.

Next, an open weight flag is set in step S84, and the process proceeds to step S85. This is because the open wait time 1 is set, and is set here correspondingly.
On the other hand, if YES in step S81, that is, if the open weight flag already exists, the process jumps to step S85.
In step S85, it is determined whether or not there is a weight monitoring end flag. This is a flag for monitoring that the open wait time has elapsed. If NO in step S85, the process proceeds to step S86 to determine whether or not the open wait time 1 (0.5 seconds) has expired. If the time has not expired, the routine ends.

If the routine is repeated and time is up, the determination result in step S86 is YES, the auxiliary game 1 start notification information is cleared in step S87, a weight monitoring end flag is set in step S88, and the process proceeds to step S89. When the auxiliary game 1 start notification information is cleared, the production of light and sound for the start of the auxiliary game 1 ends. Further, when the wait monitoring end flag is set, the next routine is prepared.
If there is a weight monitoring end flag in step S85, the process jumps to step S89.

  In step S89, it is determined whether or not there is a valid period flag. This is because the first special game is started when the ball passes through the first specific area 14 of the first variable winning device 11 (V passage), but the first specific area 14 is valid. Is a flag corresponding to. This takes into account the time delay of the passing of the sphere. If there is no valid period flag, the opening time is set in step S90. Here, the opening time is a time during which the first movable member 13 is in the open state for 0.4 seconds when the first variable winning device 11 performs the first auxiliary game. Therefore, 0.4 seconds is set as the opening time.

Next, an effective period flag is set in step S91, and an effective time is set in step S92. Therefore, in the next routine, the determination in step S89 is performed with the valid period flag set. Further, as described above, the valid time is the time taken into consideration when the ball passes through the first specific area 14 of the first variable winning device 11 (V passing).
Next, in step S93, the opening / closing SOL1 ON information is set and the process returns. The opening / closing SOL1 ON information is information for turning on the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL1) 131 that drives the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11. The set information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interrupt process, and transmitted to the first variable winning device 11 to open / close the open / close solenoid (open / close SOL1) 131 to perform the auxiliary game 1. It will be.

  On the other hand, if there is an effective period flag in step S89, the process branches to step S94 to determine whether or not the open time has expired. That is, it is determined whether or not the time for opening the first movable member 13 for 0.4 seconds is up. If the opening time has not expired, it is determined whether or not the effective time has expired in step S95, and further it is determined whether or not the specific area sensor 63 has been turned on in step S96. Immediately after auxiliary game 1 is started, step S94, step S95, and step S96 are sequentially exited and the routine is repeated. If time elapses due to the repetition of the routine and the determination result in step S94 becomes YES, the process proceeds to step S97. Branch and open / close SOL1 OFF information is set, and the process proceeds to step S95. Thereby, the opening / closing SOL1 off information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interrupt process, and is transmitted to the first variable winning device 11, and the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL1) 131 is closed.

If the valid time expires in step S95, the process branches to step S98, the process number is set to “1”, and the process jumps to step S101. Accordingly, at this time, the special figure starting process corresponding to the process number “1” is executed in the game process flow.
In addition, when the specific area sensor 63 is turned on in step S96, that is, when the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is in the open state for 0.4 seconds, the received ball is in the first specific area during the effective period. If it passes 14 (V pass), the determination result of step S96 becomes YES, and the process proceeds to step S99. In step S99, opening / closing SOL1 OFF information is set, and the process proceeds to step S100. Thereby, the opening / closing SOL1 off information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interrupt process, and is transmitted to the first variable winning device 11, and the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL1) 131 is closed.

In step S100, the process number is set to “5” and the process proceeds to step S101. As a result, the jackpot process 1 corresponding to the process number “5” is executed in the next game process flow.
Next, the valid period flag is cleared in step S101, the weight monitoring end flag is cleared in step S102, the open weight flag is cleared in step S103, the routine is terminated, and the process returns. As a result, the valid period flag, the weight monitoring end flag, and the release weight flag are all cleared and prepared for the next main routine.

Next, a subroutine of the auxiliary game process 2 in the game process will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of auxiliary game processing 2.
When this subroutine is started, it is first determined in step S111 whether or not there is an open wait flag. This is a flag for determining the wait time until the second movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12 is opened. When this subroutine is entered for the first time, the determination in step S111 is NO. If NO in step S111, the process proceeds to step S112 to set auxiliary game 2 start notification information. In the auxiliary game 2 start notification information, information for notifying that the auxiliary game 2 will be executed is set here. Then, the set information is transmitted to the effect control device 200 in the command transmission process (step S14) of the timer interrupt process, and the effect of the gaming state is performed by light and sound at the start of the auxiliary game 2. A sense of expectation arises.

  Next, in step S113, the opening wait time 2 is set, and here, for example, 1.5 seconds is set. As described above, the open weight time is a time for waiting until the second movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12 is opened, and is longer than the case of the first variable winning device 11 (0.5 seconds) ( For example, 1.5 seconds). This is because the opening of the second movable member 21 is normally executed only occasionally, so that the player is informed for a long time to prepare for the game, thereby enhancing the expectation.

Next, an open weight flag is set in step S114, and the process proceeds to step S115. This is set here corresponding to the release weight time 2 set.
On the other hand, if YES in step S111, that is, if the open weight flag already exists, the process jumps to step S115.
In step S115, it is determined whether or not there is a weight monitoring end flag. This is a flag for monitoring that the open wait time has elapsed. If NO in step S115, the process proceeds to step S116 to determine whether or not the open wait time 2 (1.5 seconds) has expired. If the time has not expired, the routine ends.

When the routine is repeated and time is up, the determination result in step S116 is YES, the auxiliary game 2 start notification information is cleared in step S117, a weight monitoring end flag is set in step S118, and the process proceeds to step S119. When the auxiliary game 2 start notification information is cleared, the effect of light and sound on the start of the auxiliary game 2 ends. Further, when the wait monitoring end flag is set, the next routine is prepared.
If there is a weight monitoring end flag in step S115, the process jumps to step S119.

  In step S119, it is determined whether or not there is a valid period flag. This is because the second special game is started when the ball passes through the second specific area 22 of the second variable winning device 12 (V passing), but the second specific area 22 is valid. Is a flag corresponding to. This takes into account the time delay of the passing of the sphere. If there is no valid period flag, the opening time is set in step S120. Here, the opening time is a time during which the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 second when the second variable winning device 12 performs the second auxiliary game. Therefore, 1.0 second is set as the opening time.

Next, an effective period flag is set in step S121, and an effective time is set in step S122. Therefore, in the next routine, the determination in step S119 is performed with the valid period flag set. Further, as described above, the valid time is the time taken into consideration when the ball passes through the second specific area 22 of the second variable prize winning device 12 (V passage).
Next, in step S123, the opening / closing SOL2 ON information is set and the process returns. The opening / closing SOL2 on information is information for turning on the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL2) 132 that drives the second movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12. The set information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interrupt process, and is sent to the second variable winning device 12 to open / close the open / close solenoid (open / close SOL2) 132 to perform the auxiliary game 2. It will be.

  On the other hand, if there is an effective period flag in step S119, the process branches to step S124 to determine whether or not the open time has expired. That is, it is determined whether or not the time for opening the second movable member 21 for 1.0 second has expired. If the opening time has not expired, it is determined whether or not the effective time has expired in step S125, and it is further determined whether or not the specific area sensor 64 has been turned on in step S126. Immediately after auxiliary game 2 is started, step S124, step S125, and step S126 are sequentially exited and the routine is repeated. When time elapses due to repetition of the routine and the determination result in step S124 becomes YES, step S127 is performed. Branch and open / close SOL2 OFF information is set, and the process proceeds to step S125. Thereby, the opening / closing SOL2 off information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interruption process, and is transmitted to the second variable winning device 12, and the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL2) 132 is closed.

If the valid time expires in step S125, the process branches to step S128, the process number is set to “1”, and the process jumps to step S131. Accordingly, at this time, the special figure starting process corresponding to the process number “1” is executed in the game process flow.
In addition, when the specific area sensor 64 is turned on in step S126, that is, when the second movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12 is in the open state for 1.0 second, the received ball is in the second specific area during the effective period. When passing 22 (V passing), the determination result of step S126 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S129. In step S129, opening / closing SOL2 OFF information is set, and the process proceeds to step S130. Thereby, the opening / closing SOL2 off information is transmitted to the second variable winning device 12 in the command transmission process (step S14) of the timer interruption process, and the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL2) 132 is closed.

In step S130, the process number is set to “6” and the process proceeds to step S131. As a result, in the next game process flow, the big hit process 2 corresponding to the process number “6” is executed.
Next, the valid period flag is cleared in step S131, the wait monitoring end flag is cleared in step S132, the open wait flag is cleared in step S133, the routine is terminated, and the process returns. As a result, the valid period flag, the weight monitoring end flag, and the release weight flag are all cleared and prepared for the next main routine.

Next, the subroutine of jackpot process 1 in the game process will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of jackpot processing 1.
When this subroutine starts, it is first determined in step S141 whether or not there is a special prize release flag. This is a flag indicating that a big hit occurs in the first variable winning device 11 and the first special game is performed. If this routine is entered for the first time, it has not been set yet, so it branches to NO and proceeds to step S142. Next, a special prize release flag is set in step S142. Thereby, when this routine is executed next time, the determination result of step S141 becomes YES.
Next, a special prize release time is set in step S143. This is to set the first movable member 13 that can be opened and closed 18 times in the round game when the first special game is performed. That is, the special prize opening time is set as the 18th opening / closing time of the first movable member 13.

Next, in step S144, the winning number of the variable winning device 11 is set to [0]. This is because the winning number as the count number is set to [0] since there is still no winning in the general winning area 15 of the variable winning device 11 immediately after the start of the big hit. Next, the closing flag is set in step S145, the closing time is set in step S146, and the routine is ended. The closing flag is a flag for determining whether or not the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL1) 131 that drives the first movable member 13 of the first variable prize winning device 11 is closed. In the opening / closing SOL1 opening / closing process shown in FIG. Used for discrimination. The closing time is a time for closing when the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is driven to open and close. When this closing time elapses (time up), the first movable member 13 is opened again, and eventually an opening / closing operation is performed.
If this routine is entered for the first time, the routine is executed in the order of step S141 to step S146.

In the subsequent routine, if the determination result in step S141 is YES, that is, if the special prize release flag is set, the process branches to step S147 to execute the opening / closing SOL1 opening / closing process. This controls the open / close solenoid (open / close SOL1) 131 that drives the first movable member 13 of the first variable prize-winning device 11, and details will be described later in a subroutine (see FIG. 12).
Next, in each step from step S148 to step S151, necessary determination is made for the round game when the first variable prize winning device 11 is in the first special state. First, in step S148, it is determined whether or not the specific area sensor 63 is on. This is to determine whether or not the first movable member 13 of the first variable prize-winning device 11 has been opened and the first specific area 14 has been won during that time. If there is a winning in the first specific area 14, the next round game is immediately started. The winning rate of game balls in the first specific area 14 is 1/13, which is lower than the winning ratio (1/6) in the second specific area 22.

In step S149, it is determined whether or not there is an effective time flag. Since the effective time flag has a slight time delay until the ball is detected by the sensor when winning the first variable winning device 11, taking this into consideration, it corresponds to the detection time delay. It is to be set.
In step S150, it is determined whether or not the special prize release time is up. The special opening time is 18 when the first movable member 13 is 18 when a first special game (a big hit at the first variable winning device 11) occurs and there is no winning of a ball (V winning) in the first specific area 14. Since the round game is performed until either the opening / closing or 10 winnings is satisfied, this corresponds to the time for the first movable member 13 to open / close 18 times. Therefore, the time-out for the special prize opening time corresponds to the time for the first movable member 13 to open and close 18 times.
In step S151, it is determined whether or not the number of winning prizes to the variable prize winning device 11 is less than ten. This is because in the case where there is no ball winning (V winning) in the first specific area 14, the round game is performed until the first movable member 13 satisfies either 18 times opening / closing or 10 winning. It is to judge the winner of 10 pieces.

  If all the determination results in steps S148 to S150 are NO and the determination result in step S151 is YES, it is determined that a round game is still in progress, and the process returns to repeat this routine. If there is a winning (V winning) in the first specific area 14 during the round game, the process branches to step S152 to set a specific area passing flag. This is a flag indicating that there has been a prize (V prize) in the first specific area 14, and since there has been a prize in the first specific area 14, it is set.

Next, in step S153, opening / closing SOL1 OFF information is set. As a result, the opening / closing SOL1 off information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interrupt process, and is transmitted to the first variable winning device 11 to close the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL1) 131.
Next, the release flag is cleared in step S154. The release flag is a flag indicating the release control of the first movable member 13 in the first variable winning device 11. Next, the closing flag is cleared in step S155. The closing flag is a flag indicating closing control of the first movable member 13 in the first variable winning device 11. In this way, if there is a winning in the first specific area 14 during the round game, the next round game is prepared by executing steps S152 to S155. After step S155, the process jumps to step S162.

On the other hand, if there is an effective time flag during the round game, it is determined that a slight time delay has elapsed before the ball is detected by the sensor when winning the first variable winning device 11, and from step S149 The process branches to YES and jumps to step S161. Also, if the special prize release time is up during the round game, it is determined that the time for opening and closing the first movable member 13 has elapsed, and the process branches from step S150 to YES and jumps to step S156.
Further, when the number of winnings to the variable winning device 11 reaches 10 during the round game, it is determined that the 10 winning conditions are satisfied, and the process branches from step S151 to NO and proceeds to step S156.
In this way, during the round game, each determination of step S148 to step S151 is performed, and the process jumps to the corresponding step.

  When the process proceeds to step S156, opening / closing SOL1 OFF information is set in this step. As a result, the open / close SOL1 off information is output from the output port in the output process of the timer interrupt process (step S13) and is transmitted to the first variable winning device 11 to close the open / close solenoid (open / close SOL1) 131 as in step S153. Will be. Next, an effective time is set in step S157. This is because there is a slight time delay until the ball is detected by the sensor when the ball enters the first variable winning device 11, and in consideration thereof, the time corresponding to the detection time delay (that is, Effective time).

Next, an effective time flag is set in step S158. As described above, since the effective time flag takes into account the detection time delay of the sensor, the effective time is increased by jumping from step S149 to step S161 in the next routine by setting it here. To monitor.
Next, the open flag is cleared in step S159, the close flag is cleared in step S160, and the process proceeds to step S161. Therefore, the same processing as in steps S154 and S155 is performed, and the next round game is prepared.
In step S161, it is determined whether or not the effective time has expired. This is because there is a slight time delay until the ball is detected by the sensor when winning the first variation winning device 11, and it is determined whether or not the time corresponding to the detection time delay has elapsed. Is. If the time is not up, return and repeat the routine. When the effective time is up by repeating the routine, the process proceeds to step S162 to clear the effective time flag, and the detection time delay in the sensor is not taken into consideration.

  Next, in step S163, the number of cycles (that is, the number of continuations of the round game) is incremented by [1]. Since the first special game can be continued up to eight times in the first variable winning device 11, it is incremented here in order to proceed to the next cycle. Next, in step S164, a special award opening time is set (similar to step S142) to prepare for the next round. Next, in step S165, the winning number of the variable winning device 11 is set to [0] (similar to step S144) to prepare for the next round. Next, in step S166, it is determined whether or not there is a specific area passing flag. This is to determine whether or not there is a win (V win) in the first specific area 14 during the round game. If there is a V win, it is set in step S152. If there is a specific area passing flag, the process proceeds to step S167 to determine whether or not the number of cycles is less than eight. This is to determine whether or not the maximum number of continuations has been reached since the continuation of the first special game is up to 8 times.

If the number of cycles is less than 8 in step S167, the process proceeds to step S168 to set the closing flag, sets the closing time flag in step S169, and further clears the specific area passing flag in step S170 and returns. This prepares for the next round game.
On the other hand, when there is no specific area passing flag at step S166 (when there is no V prize) and when the number of cycles is 8 at step S167, it is determined that the first special game has ended and both branch to step S171. The process after S171 is executed.
First, the number of cycles = 0 is set in step S171, the special prize release flag is cleared in step S172, the specific area passing flag is cleared in step S173, and the process number is set to “1” in step S174. As a result, the current first special game is completed, and the game is started again from the special figure starting process in the next game process.
In step S175, the special game flag is set. In step S176, the special game counter is set to [2] and the process returns. This is to cause the probability variation to be performed by the number set in the special game counter (that is, only twice) after the end of the first special game.

Next, a subroutine for the opening / closing SOL1 opening / closing process in the big hit process 1 will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the opening / closing SOL1 opening / closing process. When this subroutine starts, it is first determined in step S181 whether or not there is an open flag. The release flag is a flag indicating the release control of the first movable member 13 in the first variable winning device 11, and when NO in step S181, the process proceeds to step S182. In step S182, it is determined whether or not there is a closing flag. The closing flag is a flag indicating the closing control of the first movable member 13 in the first variable winning device 11, and when the answer is NO in step S182, the current routine is terminated and the process returns. Accordingly, in this case, the opening / closing operation of the first movable member 13 is not performed at all.

On the other hand, if there is an open flag in step S181, the process branches to step S183 to determine whether or not the open time has expired. That is, it is determined whether or not the time for opening the first movable member 13 for 0.4 seconds is up. If the opening time has not expired, return and repeat the routine. Then, when the opening time is up, the process branches from step S183 to YES, and the processes after step S184 are executed.
First, a closing flag is set in step S184, and a closing time is set in step S185. In step S186, the open / close SOL1 off state is set. In step S187, the release flag is cleared and the process returns. This provides for the next opening control of the first movable member 13.

If there is a closing flag in step S182, the process branches to step S188 to determine whether or not the closing time is up. The closing time is set in step S146 of the jackpot process 1 described above, and is a time for closing when the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is opened and closed. If the closure time has not expired, return and repeat the routine. Then, when the closing time is up, the process branches from step S188 to YES, and the processes after step S189 are executed.
First, the release flag is set in step S189, and the release time is set in step S190. In step S191, the open / close SOL1 ON state is set, and in step S192, the closing flag is cleared and the process returns. This provides for the next closing control of the first movable member 13.
Thus, in the opening / closing SOL1 opening / closing process, the control for opening / closing the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL1) 131 that drives the first movable member 13 of the first variable winning device 11 is performed.

Next, the jackpot process 2 subroutine in the game process will be described.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of jackpot processing 2.
When this subroutine is started, it is first determined in step S201 whether or not a special prize release flag is present. This is a flag indicating that a big hit has occurred in the second variable winning device 12 and the second special game is to be performed. When this routine is entered for the first time, it has not been set yet, so it branches to NO and proceeds to step S202. Next, a special prize release flag is set in step S202. Thereby, when this routine is executed next time, the determination result of step S201 becomes YES.
Next, a special prize release time is set in step S203. This is to set the second movable member 21 that can be opened and closed 18 times in a round game when the second special game is performed. That is, the special prize opening time is set as the 18th opening / closing time of the second movable member 21.

Next, in step S204, the winning number of the variable winning device 12 is set to [0]. This is to set the winning number as the count number to [0] because there is no winning in the general winning area 23 of the variable winning device 12 immediately after the start of the big hit. Next, a closing flag is set in step S205, a closing time is set in step S206, and the routine is terminated.
The closing flag is a flag for determining whether or not the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL2) 132 that drives the first movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12 is closed, and is an opening / closing SOL2 opening / closing process shown in step S207 described later. It is used for discrimination. The closing time is a time for closing when the second movable member 21 of the second variable winning device 12 is driven to open and close. When this closing time elapses (time up), the second movable member 21 is opened again, and eventually an opening / closing operation is performed.
If this routine is entered for the first time, the routine is executed in the order of step S201 to step S206.

In the subsequent routine, if the determination result in step S201 is YES, that is, if the special prize release flag is set, the process branches to step S207 to execute the opening / closing SOL2 opening / closing process. This controls the open / close solenoid (open / close SOL2) 132 that drives the second movable member 21 of the second variable prize-winning device 12, and is similar in processing to the subroutine shown in FIG. Since the same processing is applied to the second variable winning device 12, the subroutine is omitted here.
Next, in each step of step S208 and step S209, necessary determination is made for the round game when the second variable winning device 12 is in the second special state. Note that, unlike the case of the first special game described above, there is no determination processing in steps S148 and S149. This is because the big hit round is continued even if there is no winning of a ball (V winning) in the second specific area 22 when the big win in the second variable winning device 12 occurs. This is because these processes are omitted. Thereby, it is advantageous for the player to have a big hit at the second variable winning device 12.

In step S208, it is determined whether or not the special prize release time is up. When the second special game (a big hit at the second variable prize-winning device 12) occurs, the special movable release time is 18 for the second movable member 21 even if there is no ball prize (V prize) in the second specific area 14. Since the round game is performed until either the opening / closing or 10 winnings is satisfied, this corresponds to the time for the second movable member 21 to open / close 18 times. Therefore, the time-out for the special prize opening time is equivalent to the time for the second movable member 21 to open and close 18 times.
In step S208, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings to the second variable winning device 12 is less than 10. This is because even if there is no ball winning (V winning) in the second specific area 22, the round game is performed until the second movable member 21 satisfies either 18 times opening / closing or 10 winnings. It is to judge the winner of 10 pieces.

If the determination result in step S208 is NO and the determination result in step S209 is YES, it is determined that a round game is still in progress, and the process returns to repeat this routine. Then, if the special prize release time is up during the round game, it is determined that the time for the second movable member 21 to open and close 18 times has elapsed, and the process branches from step S208 to YES and jumps to step S210.
Further, when the number of winnings to the variable winning device 12 becomes 10 during the round game, it is determined that the conditions for 10 winnings are satisfied, and the process branches from step S209 to NO and proceeds to step S210.
Thus, during the round game, each determination of step S208 and step S209 is performed, and the process proceeds to the corresponding step.

  When the process proceeds to step S210, opening / closing SOL2 OFF information is set in this step. As a result, the opening / closing SOL2 off information is output from the output port in the output process (step S13) of the timer interrupt process, and is transmitted to the second variable winning device 12, and the opening / closing solenoid (opening / closing SOL2) 132 is closed. Next, the release flag is cleared in step S211. The release flag is a flag indicating the release control of the second movable member 21 in the second variable winning device 12. Next, the closing flag is cleared in step S212. The closing flag is a flag indicating closing control of the second movable member 21 in the second variable winning device 12. As described above, even if there is no winning in the second specific area 22 during the round game, the next round game is prepared by executing Steps S210 to S212.

  Next, in step S213, the number of cycles (that is, the number of continuations of the round game) is incremented by [1]. Since the second special game can be continued in the second variable winning device 21 up to eight times without V winning, it is incremented here in order to proceed to the next cycle. Next, in step S214, a special prize release time is set to prepare for the next round. This is to set the second movable member 21 that can be opened and closed 18 times in a round game when the second special game is performed. That is, the special prize opening time is set as the 18th opening / closing time of the second movable member 21. Next, in step S215, the winning number of the variable winning device 12 is set to [0] to prepare for the next round. This is to set the winning number as the count number to [0] because there is no winning in the general winning area 23 of the variable winning device 12 immediately after the start of the big hit, and the next round is continued during the round. In order to prepare for this, the initial value is restored.

In step S216, it is determined whether or not the number of cycles is less than eight. This is to determine whether or not the maximum number of continuations has been reached since the second special game is continued up to eight times.
If the number of cycles is less than 8 in step S216, the process proceeds to step S217 to set the closing flag, and in step S218, the closing time flag is set and the process returns. This prepares for the next round game.
Then, by repeating the routine, when the number of cycles becomes 8, the determination result of step S216 becomes NO, and the processing after step S219 is executed. First, the number of cycles = 0 is set in step S219, the special prize release flag is cleared in step S220, and the process number is set to “1” in step S221. As a result, the second special game this time is finished, and the game is started again from the special figure starting process in the next game process.
In step S222, the special game flag is set, and in step S223, the special game counter is set to [2] and the process returns. This is to cause the probability variation to be performed by the number set in the special game counter (that is, only twice) after the end of the second special game.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the symbol of the special symbol display device 16 stops at “1” based on the start winning prize, the first auxiliary game is performed in the first variable prize winning device 11 and the first movable member 13 is set to 0. 0. When it is opened for 4 seconds and stopped at “2”, the second auxiliary game is played by the second variable winning device 12 and the second movable member 21 is opened for 1.0 seconds.
During normal times, the probability of a “1” symbol appearing on the special symbol display device 16 is 99/100, and the probability of a “2” symbol appearing is 1/100, so the first auxiliary game is often performed. Since the auxiliary game is always performed no matter which symbol is stopped, the player can expect a chance of winning a V prize and the game becomes interesting.

When a ball received when the first movable member 13 is opened in the first variable winning device 11 wins the first specific area 14, a first special game (a big hit in the first variable winning device 11) occurs, and thereafter The round game is updated on the condition that a ball is won (V prize) in the first specific area 14, and when there is no V prize, the first movable member 13 satisfies either 18 opening / closing or 10 prizes. When the round game is over and there is a V prize, the round continues until the maximum number of rounds reaches eight.
In addition, when the ball received when the second movable member 21 is opened in the second variable winning device 12 wins the second specific area 22, a second special game (a big hit in the second variable winning device 12) occurs. After that, even if there is no ball winning (V winning) in the second specific area 22, the round game is performed until the second movable member 21 satisfies either 18 opening / closing or 10 winnings, and the round continues to the maximum Continue until the number is 8.
The number of winning balls during the big hit in the first variable winning device 11 is 10, and the number of winning balls during the big hit in the second variable winning device 12 is 13, so that the second variable winning device 12 during the big win. There are more balls out.

The V winning rate is lower in the first variable winning device 11 (1/13) and higher in the second variable winning device 12 (1/6). When a game is performed, but the second auxiliary game is performed with the second variable winning device 12, the possibility of winning the big win has a chance for the second variable winning device 12, and the player's expectation is also high. Rise.
Therefore, as a normal game flow, the player mainly continues the auxiliary game at the first variable prize winning device 11 and makes a big hit at the first variable prize winning device 11, and after the big hit is finished, at the second variable prize winning device 12 In the two auxiliary games, the chances of winning a big hit at the second variable winning device 12 are examined, and the number of winning balls is greatly increased by the big win of the second variable winning device 12.
As another game flow, there is a case where the second auxiliary game (where probability = 1/100) is executed in the normal game state, in which case the big win at the second variable winning device 12 occurs. Because the possibility is high, the player feels profitable and there are other characteristics.
Therefore, the first variable winning device 11 with a low V winning rate (the number of balls in which a big hit is small) and the second variable winning device 12 with a high V winning rate (a lot of the balls in a big hit are high depending on the stop result mode of the special figure) ) Is determined by which of the auxiliary games, and compared to the monotonous game where the auxiliary game is performed with the variable winning device that is determined simply by winning at the starting point as in the past, the fun of the game is much more interesting and interesting. .

When the big win by the first variable prize winning device 11 or the second variable prize winning device 12 is finished, after that, the special symbol display device 16 is in a special gaming state while the symbol fluctuation of the special symbol display device 16 is executed twice. Probability increases. When the probability change is entered, the probability that “1” appears on the special symbol display device 16 is 1/100, and the probability that “2” appears is 99/100, which is opposite to the normal state. Opportunities for consecutive occurrence of big hits in the variable winning device 12 are greatly increased, which is extremely advantageous.
Therefore, since it is determined whether or not the big win by the second variable winning device 12 is continuously generated by adjusting the firing force of the player's ball, there is room for the player's technical intervention, and the player's interest is further enhanced. Rise.

Next, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a game board 400 according to another embodiment. Since the configuration of the game board 400 is the same as that of the above embodiment except for the part (including control) related to the second variable prize winning device 401, the same number is assigned and the duplicate description is omitted, and different parts will be described. .
In the second variable prize winning device 401 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, a special game execution number determination display 402 is arranged, and the special game execution number determination display 402 is a big hit (the first variable prize winning device 11 or the second When the variable winning device 401 indicates a big hit), the number of determined probability fluctuations (special game state) after the completion is displayed.
Although not shown, in other embodiments, the game control device performs a process of determining the number of probability fluctuations after the end of the jackpot. In this process, a predetermined random number is used to execute a game for determining the probability of changing the execution number. Control is performed to determine the probability variation continuation count based on the game result (random lottery result) and to display the determination result on the probability variation execution count determination display 402.

In this case, there are, for example, three symbols “1”, “2”, and “4” displayed on the special game execution number determination display 402. “2” indicates that the probability variation number is 2 and “4” indicates that the probability variation number is 4 times. Further, the probability that the symbol “1” appears is ¼, the probability that the symbol “2” appears, is ½, and the probability that the symbol “4” appears is ¼.
Here, the game control device and the special game execution number determination display 402 constitute a number determination means capable of executing a number determination game for determining a predetermined number of special game states.

In the above configuration, in this embodiment, when the big hit (indicating a big hit by the first variable winning device 11 or the second variable winning device 401) is completed, the game control device uses the predetermined random number to determine the probability variation execution number determination game. The probability variation continuation number is determined based on the game result. Then, any one of the three symbols “1”, “2”, and “4” is displayed on the special game execution number determination display 402. If “1” appears, the probability variation count is 1; if “2” appears, the probability variation count is 2; if “4” appears, the probability variation count is 4.
Therefore, since the number of executions of the probability variation (special game state) is determined in a game different from the jackpot game, the player has a sense of expectation separately from the game by the special symbol display device 16 (variable display device), The fun of gaming can be enhanced.
In this embodiment, the number of executions of the probability variation is determined in a game different from the big hit game after the big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of executions of the probability variation during the big hit or during the big hit You may make it play the game which determines. In this way, the player's interest during the big hit is further increased.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and there can be various modifications and applications as described below.
(A) The opening time of each movable member in the first variable winning device or the second variable winning device is not limited to 0.4 seconds or 1.0 seconds, but may be other time.
(B) The number of opening and closing of the movable member, the number of prize balls, the V winning rate, and the maximum number of continuations in each big hit cycle are not limited to the example of the embodiment, but may be other examples.
(C) The period and mode of the probability variation are not limited to the example of the embodiment, and may be other examples.
(D) The variable display device is not limited to an example showing only numbers, and may be constituted by, for example, a liquid crystal display device, a CRT, or the like.

  Further, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
