  FIG. 5 is a block configuration diagram showing a control system centered on the game control device 100.

  The game control device 100 (holding storage means, change display game execution means, auxiliary game execution means, special game start means, change display game continuous start means, change display game standby start means, selection means, receiving game ball discrimination means) A main control device that controls the game in an integrated manner, from a CPU that controls the game, a ROM that stores invariant information for game control, a RAM that is used as a work area during game control, an input / output interface, etc. Composed.

  The game control device 100 has detection signals from various detection devices (special chart start sensor 12, universal chart start sensor 13, general winning opening sensors 14A to 14N, auxiliary game count sensor 35, specific area sensor 43, jackpot count sensor 63). In response, various processes are performed. Various control devices (production control device 150, discharge control device 200), general-purpose solenoid 61, movable member solenoids 32a and 32b, floor plate member solenoid 46, induction member solenoid 48, and first and second motors 50. , 51, a command signal is transmitted to the special winning opening solenoid 62 and the like, and the game is comprehensively controlled.

  In addition, the game control device 100 is provided with an external output terminal board 105 for outputting various information to the outside of the gaming machine. Game information (winning information, number of variable display games, jackpot information, etc.) is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the management device (hall computer) of the game store via the external output terminal board 105, and is managed by the management device. Managed.

  The discharge control device 200 controls the operation of the discharge device based on the prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or the ball rental request from the card ball rental unit, and causes the prize ball or the ball to be discharged.

  The effect control device 150 displays the special symbol display 52, the normal symbol display 54, the special-purpose memory display 53, the general-purpose memory display 55, the decorative light emitting device 110 such as a decorative lamp, a decorative LED, and the like. Controls the sound effect output from the speaker 120, and includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an interface, and the like.

  Next, the control content of the game control apparatus 100 will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 6 shows a main flow of game control executed by the game control device 100. After the power to the gaming machine is turned on, the processing shown in the flow of FIG. 6A is executed, and when a timer interrupt occurs every predetermined time period, for example, every millisecond, the flow shown in FIG. 6B is shown. The processing program is called and executed.

  When the power to the gaming machine is turned on, the initialization process of S1 shown in FIG. 6A is executed to set the gaming machine to an initial state. In subsequent S2, the random number updating process for stirring is performed, and thereafter the process of S2 is repeated.

  The stirring random number update process performed in S2 is a process of updating the initial value of the random number update process in S15 of FIG. This process will be described. Among the processes executed by the game control device 100, when a game ball wins the special figure starting port 5 or when the game ball passes through the general gate 10, the corresponding game is executed. Some random number processing is performed to perform a lottery for deriving a result mode, or to add randomness to an effect or decoration when a variable display game is advanced based on the lottery result. As an example of these random number processing, for example, the counter value is incremented by 1 in a predetermined time period, for example, 1 millisecond period between 0 and 316, and when the value exceeds 316, it is returned to 0 again. There is processing. Then, a process of extracting the counter value at the time when the gaming control device 100 recognizes the above-described event such as winning of a game ball as a random value at that time is performed. If it repeats, the random value extracted with a period of 317 milliseconds will become the same value, and randomness will fall a little. Therefore, a process for imparting further randomness is a stirring random number update process. Instead of starting the counter value variation in the above example from 0 each time, the value obtained by the random number updating process for agitation is varied as the initial value of the counter value. The new value obtained by the random number update process is set as the initial value of the next counter. Further, a process for changing the counter value for one rotation is performed, and the initial value at the time of the counter value change is successively updated. Since the random number update period in the stirring random number update process is considerably shorter than the random number update period in the random number update process, the randomness of the counter can be increased. The counter is referred to as a “random number counter”.

  A processing procedure executed by the game control device 100 when a timer interrupt occurs will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the timer interrupt processing of S11 to S22 described below is repeatedly executed at a relatively short time period such as 1 millisecond. The processes of S11 to S22 are not necessarily performed every time an interrupt occurs. For example, the input process S12 monitors the input signal every time, but the output process is executed every other occurrence of an interrupt. That is, instead of completing all the processes in one interrupt process, the interrupt process may be repeatedly executed a plurality of times to complete one process.

  In S11, interrupt prohibition setting and register saving processing are performed.

  In S12, input processing is performed. The input process in S12 is a process of performing input processing such as chatter removal on signals from various sensors and switches input via the input interface to determine input information.

  In S13, a process of outputting predetermined data to a predetermined output destination via the output interface is performed. The output data includes each solenoid, motor, and the like.

  In S14, a process of outputting a display control command signal (command), which will be described later, to the effect display control apparatus 150, a process of outputting a prize ball command signal to the discharge control apparatus 200, and the like are performed.

  In S15, a random number update process is performed, and each random number counter for determining whether or not the normal figure fluctuation display game, the special figure fluctuation display game is hit, and an effect or decoration (variation display pattern or The value of each random number counter for imparting randomness to the stop symbol or the like) is incremented by one.

  In S16, an error monitoring process is performed to monitor the ball jam of the gaming machine and abnormalities of various switches and sensors.

  In S17, a switch monitoring process is performed. This switch monitoring process will be described later.

  In S18, a special symbol game process, that is, a process of controlling the auxiliary game for opening the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 and the progress of the special figure variable display game. This special symbol game process will be described later.

  In S19, the normal symbol game process, that is, the process of controlling the normal fluctuation winning device 60 of the special figure starting port 5 as well as the progress of the normal fluctuation display game is performed. More specifically, is the common figure random value extracted based on the passage of the game ball of the general figure gate 10 detected by the common figure start sensor 13 (random number related to the result form of the common figure game extracted in step S17) winning? The normal symbol display 54 performs a process for displaying fluctuations. If the common random number value is a predetermined value, a hit state related to the common figure is entered, and the variable display stops with the common figure hit. When this hit state is reached, the ordinary solenoid 61 is driven to open the normal variation winning device 60 of the special figure starting port 5, so that it becomes easy to win the special figure starting port 5.

  In S20, internal structure control information editing processing is performed. In this process, as shown in FIG. 14, the output buffer of the movable members 22a and 22b (movable member solenoids 32a and 32b), the output buffer of the guide members 47a and 47b (guide member solenoid 48), and the floor plate of the variable winning device 4 Data is set in the output buffer of the member 45 (floor plate solenoid 46), the output buffer of the first motor 50, and the output buffer of the second motor 51 (S131 to S134).

  In S21, external information editing processing is performed. In this process, the game information for outputting the state of the gaming machine to the hall computer connected via the external output terminal board 105 is edited.

  The game control device 100 performs the above-described processing, performs the restoration processing of the temporarily saved register and the processing for setting the permission of the interrupt that has been prohibited, and returns. Then, the random number update process for stirring in S2 is repeated until the next timer interrupt occurs.

  FIG. 7 shows the switch monitoring process.

  In S31 and S32, the processing timer set according to the processing described later is updated.

  In the prize ball-related SW monitoring process of S33, for the special ball start opening 5, the general prize opening 7, 8, 42, 44 of the game ball, the special prize opening 41 of the variable prize winning device 4, and the winning of the big prize opening 6, Determine the number of prize balls.

  In the special figure starting SW monitoring process of S34, if the number of special figure starting memories is 4 or less for the winning of the game ball in the special figure starting port 5, a random number value is extracted according to the special figure starting memory. .

  In the general chart start SW monitoring process of S35, if the number of stored general chart starts is 4 or less for the passage of the game ball of the general chart gate 10, a random number value is extracted according to the general chart start memory.

  In the jackpot count SW monitoring process in S36, the number of winning game balls in the jackpot 6 in the jackpot game (special game) is counted.

  The auxiliary game count SW monitoring process in S37 and the specific winning detection SW monitoring process in S38 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the auxiliary game count SW monitoring process monitors the game balls entering the concave chamber 15 of the variable prize winning device 4 during the auxiliary game count valid timer set in the auxiliary game preparation process of FIG. To do.

  In S42, the auxiliary game count effective timer is updated, and in S43, it is determined whether or not the auxiliary game count effective timer has expired. If the time has not expired, a variable prize is awarded in S44 and S45. Each time a game ball entering the concave chamber 15 of the apparatus 4 is detected, the auxiliary game winning number counter is incremented by one.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S43 that the auxiliary game count valid timer is up, the process proceeds to S46, and if the auxiliary game winning number counter is less than 3, the special symbol game process of FIG. If the auxiliary game winning number counter is 3 or more, the process number in the special symbol game process of FIG. 10 described later is set to 5 in S48.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the specific winning detection SW monitoring process determines the winning of the game ball at the special winning opening 41 of the variable winning device 4 during the time of the specific winning validity timer set in the auxiliary game preparation process of FIG. Monitor.

  In S52, the specific winning effective timer is updated, and in S53, it is determined whether the specific winning effective timer has expired. If the time has not expired, it is determined in S54 whether or not a game ball winning of the special winning opening 41 of the variable winning device 4 has been detected. If there is a winning detection, the special symbol game process of FIG. Is set to 6, the electric power output buffer of the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 that was turned on during the auxiliary game in S56 is turned off (the movable members 22a and 22b are closed), and S57. The specific winning valid timer is cleared at, a special symbol variation interruption command is transmitted to the effect control device 150 at S58, and the start of a big hit game (special game) is commanded at S59.

  In response to this symbol variation interruption command, the production control device 150 stops the variation of the symbol of the variation display game of the special symbol display 52 at a predetermined symbol (lost symbol). This is because even if the variable display game of the special symbol display 52 is “winning” even if the content of the symbol to be originally stopped (corresponding to the content of the stop symbol determined in S93 of FIG. 11 described later) is “winning”. It means to replace with a design.

  Also, if the special winning validity timer expires without a game ball winning in the special winning opening 41, the process proceeds from S53 to S60. Therefore, if the process number in the special symbol game process of FIG. In S61, the process number is returned to zero.

  FIG. 10 shows the special symbol game process.

  In S71, the process branches according to the process number.

  The process number = 0 represents waiting for the start of the special display variable display game. Process number = 1 indicates that the special display variable display game is changing. Process number = 2 represents waiting for the auxiliary game after the special display variable display game. Process number = 3 indicates that an auxiliary game is in progress. Process numbers = 4, 5, and 6 indicate that the special symbol game process is stopped and extended.

  When the process number = 0, if there is a special figure start memory in S72, the processes of S73 to S76 are performed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the start information setting process in S73 is performed by decrementing the special figure start memory number by -1, determining whether or not the random number value extracted and stored is a hit, and displaying the fluctuation of the special figure based on the determination value. The stop symbol of the game is determined, the symbol variation time of the special variable display game is determined based on the stop symbol, and the stored random number area is shifted for the next variable display game (S91 to S95). When the winning symbol is set in S93, a specific winning symbol (a symbol "77") or other winning symbol (a symbol "33" or "55") is selected and set.

  In S74, a time (processing time of processing number 1) is set in the processing timer, in S75, the processing number is set to 1, and in S76, a symbol variation start command for the special display variation display game is sent to the effect control device 150. Send.

  In response to this symbol variation start command, the production control device 150 starts a symbol variation display game on the special symbol display 52.

  When the process number = 1, the changing process of S77 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the process timer expires, the process in S77 is set to the process timer (process time of process number 2), the process number is set to 2, and the special display variable display game Is transmitted to the effect control device 150 (S101 to S104).

  In response to this symbol variation stop command, the production control device 150 stops the variation of the symbol of the variation display game of the special symbol display 52 and displays the symbol in the stop symbol determined in S93.

  When the process number = 2, the auxiliary game preparation process of S78 is performed.

  In the auxiliary game preparation process of S78, as shown in FIG. 13, when the process timer expires, it is determined whether or not the special display variable display game is won. If the game is lost, the process number is reset to 0 (S111 to S113). .

  In the case of winning, if it is not a specific winning (a combination of symbols “77”) (that is, a combination of symbols “33” or “55”), the processing timer is short (processing time of processing number 3: Set the opening time of the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 (for example, 0.3 seconds), and set the auxiliary game count valid timer (for example, 0.8 seconds) and the specific prize valid timer (for example, 10.3 seconds). (S115 to S117). If it is a specific hit, the processing timer is set to a long time (processing time 3 processing time: opening time of the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4, for example 1.8 seconds), and an auxiliary game count valid timer ( For example, 2.3 seconds), a specific winning validity timer (for example, 11.8 seconds) is set (S118 to S120).

  The specific winning valid timer is set sufficiently long for the processing timer and the auxiliary game count valid timer.

  After the timer is set, the processing number is set to 3, the electric power output buffer of the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 is turned on, and the auxiliary game winning number counter is cleared (S121 to S123).

  By turning on the electric power output buffer, the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 are opened. At this time, the first and second motors 50 and 51 are rotated as described above, and a predetermined operation such as intermittent reciprocation of the floor plate member 45 and the guide members 47a and 47b is performed.

  When the process number = 3, when the process timer expires in S79, the process number is set to 4 in S80, and the electric power output buffers of the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 are set in S81. Turn off.

  The movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 are closed by turning off the electric power output buffer. At this time, the first and second motors 50 and 51, the floor board member 45, and the guide members 47a and 47b are stopped at the initial positions, respectively, at predetermined times (immediately before the time of the specific prize winning timer expires).

  When the process number = 4, the result of the auxiliary game (process of FIG. 8) is awaited.

  When the processing number = 5 (S48 in FIG. 8), the winning number in the concave chamber 15 of the variable winning device 4 is large, the probability of winning the special winning port 41 is high, and a big hit is likely to occur, so the processing number = The time is extended from the time of 4, and the result of the auxiliary game (processing in FIG. 9) is waited.

  When the process number = 6 (S55 in FIG. 9), since the jackpot is generated, the end of the jackpot game is awaited.

  The jackpot game is a predetermined number of rounds in which the grand prize winning opening 6 is opened for a predetermined period. The first round ends when a predetermined number of game balls win the big prize opening 6 or when a predetermined time elapses, and when the predetermined round ends, the big hit game ends. At the end of the jackpot game, the process number is updated from 6 to 0.

  Since it comprised in this way, the variable display game will be performed on the special symbol display 52 by the special figure start memory | storage by winning of the game ball of the special figure start port 5, and if the variable display game is hit, the variable winning apparatus 4 The movable members 22a and 22b are opened, the first and second rotating drums 36 and 37 of the lifting device 16 are rotated, and an auxiliary game in which the floor board member 45 and the guide members 47a and 47b are operated in a predetermined manner is performed.

  By opening the movable members 22a and 22b of the auxiliary game variable winning device 4, the game balls that have entered the variable winning device 4 get on the floor plate member 45 and are attracted by the magnet 38 of the first rotating drum 36. When it is lifted to the separation path 40 and wins a special winning opening 41, a big hit is generated and a big hit game is performed.

  On the other hand, if the variation display game is lost, a new variation display game is played on the special symbol display 52 by the next special diagram start memory after the end.

  Also, when the auxiliary game is played by winning the variable display game, as shown in FIG. 15, if the number of game balls entered in the variable prize winning device 4 is less than 3, the auxiliary game count valid timer has timed out. At this time, a new variable display game is played on the special symbol display 52 by the next special symbol start memory immediately without waiting for the specific winning valid timer to expire. Then, the game balls that have entered the variable winning device 4 ride on the floor plate member 45 and are attracted by the magnet 38 of the first rotating drum 36 until the specific winning effective timer expires, and the ball separation path 40. When the special winning opening 41 is won, the change display game is forcibly stopped by losing, and a big win is generated, and a big win game is performed.

  Further, when an auxiliary game is played by winning the variable display game, as shown in FIG. 16, if there are three or more game balls entered in the variable winning device 4, the special winning opening 41 is not won. A new variable display game on the special symbol display 52 is put on standby until the specific winning valid timer expires. Then, when the specific prize winning timer expires, a new variable display game is played on the special symbol display 52 by the next special figure start memory.

  That is, a special display start memory by winning a game ball in the special figure start opening 5 performs a variable display game on the special symbol display 52. If the variable display game is successful, the movable member 22a of the variable prize winning device 4, 22b is opened, and the game ball that has entered the variable winning device 4 rides on the floor plate member 45, is attracted by the magnet 38 of the first rotating drum 36, and is transported to the ball separation path 40, and a special winning opening. The auxiliary game is performed to determine whether or not to win 41, but when there are few game balls in the variable winning device 4, the auxiliary game count valid timer expires (the movable members 22a and 22b are closed immediately before). In response to the next special figure start memory, a new variable display game is played on the special symbol display 52.

  Therefore, after the movable members 22a and 22b are closed, the player rides the ball on the floor board member 45 on the floor board member 45 and is attracted by the magnet 38 of the first rotary drum 36, so that the ball separation path 40 The game balls that have been moved into the special prize opening 41 and are opened in the variable prize-winning device 4 by the new variable display game or when the movable members 22a and 22b are opened are special. The game can be enjoyed and progressed by repeatedly determining whether or not to win the winning opening 41.

  Therefore, after the movable members 22a and 22b are closed, until the result of the auxiliary game is determined, the player does not stop the game ball from being fired, and the operation of the gaming machine can be increased. . In addition, the game progress tempo is improved and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  Also, when an auxiliary game is played depending on the win of the variable display game, if there are many game balls that have entered the variable winning device 4, no new variable display game is played on the special symbol display 52 during the auxiliary game. .

  Therefore, when there are many game balls that have entered the variable winning device 4 and there is a high possibility of winning in the special prize opening 41, the player rides on the floor plate member 45 and the first rotating drum 36 It is possible to enjoy the movement of being attracted by the magnet 38 and being transported to the ball separation path 40, and to enjoy the state where the ball wins the special winning opening 41.

  On the other hand, when the auxiliary game count valid timer expires and a new variable display game is being played on the special symbol display 52, the game ball that has been in the variable winning device 4 wins the special winning opening 41. Then, the change display game is stopped by losing, generating a jackpot and playing the jackpot game.

  That is, since the variable display game is forcibly terminated, the player can concentrate on the jackpot game without worrying about the result of the variable display game.

  In the present embodiment, the next variable display game starts until the specific prize-winning timer expires based on the number of game balls that have entered the variable winning device 4 when the auxiliary game is played. It is decided whether or not to wait, but the specific prize valid timer is timed up only in the case where a large number of game balls are assumed to enter the variable prize winning device 4 in the auxiliary game in advance. It may be determined to wait for the start of the next variable display game until this is done.

  For example, when the variable display game is a specific hit (a combination of symbols “77”), the movable member of the variable winning device 4 is more than a normal hit (a combination of symbols “33” and “55”). 22a and 22b become long, and in this case, it is assumed that a large number of game balls enter the variable winning device 4. Therefore, when the variable display game is in a specific win, the next winning valid timer is timed out until the next winning valid timer expires. The start of the variable display game may be waited, and when the variable display game is normal, the next variable display game may be started before the specific prize winning timer expires.

  Alternatively, for example, when the variable display game is a specific hit, the above-described control may be performed with a configuration in which the opening angle of the movable members 22a and 22b is larger than that in the normal hit. Good.

  In the present embodiment, when a game ball is detected by the specific area sensor 43, the special game is started after forcibly confirming the variation display of the special symbol display 52, but a special game is generated. The front-rear relationship between the timing for notifying this and the timing for forcibly fixing the variable display is not limited. For example, it is informed that a special game is generated at the timing when the game ball is detected by the specific area sensor 43, and then the change display of the special symbol display 52 is forcibly fixed, and then the special game is started. The big prize opening 6 may be opened.

  In the present embodiment, when the game ball is detected by the specific area sensor 43 and the variation display of the special symbol display 52 is forcibly fixed, the loss symbol is displayed, but the variation start is started. You may display the stop symbol determined at times as it is. In short, what is displayed is not important, and any display that shows that the variable display game has been forcibly ended may be used. However, even if the variable display game is stopped and displayed with a winning symbol, it is not preferable to open the movable members 22a and 22b again. Therefore, if possible, a mode other than the winning symbol (other than the result of operating the movable member) It is preferable to stop display.

  17 and 18 show a second embodiment, in which another implementation of the start information setting process (FIG. 11) and the changing process (FIG. 12) in the special symbol game process (FIG. 10) is shown. The form is shown.

  This is different from the previous embodiment in that the reserved memory is erased after the variation display game of the special symbol display 52 is confirmed, and the game ball that has entered the variation prize winning device 4 However, when the auxiliary game count valid timer expires and a new variable display game is being played on the special symbol display 52, if the special winning opening 41 is won, the variable display game is stopped. Processing is performed, and at this time, the suspended storage corresponding to the suspended change is retained.

  In the start information setting process of FIG. 17, it is determined whether or not the random number extracted and stored in accordance with the special figure start memory is a win in S91, and in S92, based on the determination value, the variable display game of the special figure is displayed. A stop symbol is determined, and in S93, the symbol variation time of the special symbol variable display game is determined based on the stop symbol.

  In the in-fluctuation process of FIG. 18, when the processing timer expires in S101, the special figure start memory number is decremented by -1 in S102, the stored random number area is shifted for the next variable display game in S103, and the process proceeds to S104. The processing time is set in the processing timer (processing time of processing number 2), the processing number is set to 2 in S105, and the symbol variation stop command of the special display variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150 in S106. .

  That is, when a new variation display game is being performed, if the special winning opening 41 is won, the variation display game is canceled by the symbol variation interruption command in S58 of FIG. At this time, the production control device 150 does not display anything on the special symbol display 52. In this case, since the processes of S102 and S103 in FIG. 18 are not performed, the special figure start memory that is changing remains without being lost. The effect control device 150 that has received the symbol variation interruption command may display information indicating that the variation has been canceled on the special symbol display 52. Of course, the previous stop symbol or the like may be displayed.

  Therefore, since the variable display game can be performed based on the special figure start memory after the jackpot game is completed, the special figure start memory is not lost to the player.

  19 to 23 show a third embodiment, and show another embodiment of the guide members 47 a and 47 b of the ball separation path 40. 20 to 23 are obtained by replacing the processes in FIGS. 8, 9, 12, and 14, and other processes are the same as those in the first and second embodiments.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the guide members 47 a and 47 b have a fan shape, and rotate and move with the arc side as the outer periphery and the acute angle side as the base end as the rotation center. The guiding members 47a and 47b are moved from the position (initial position) where the guiding member solenoid 48 (see FIG. 5) blocks the central special winning port 41 and the left and right general winning ports 42, and the left guiding member 47a is moved to the left. The right guide member 47b can be rotated and moved to the right so as not to block the special winning opening 41 and the left and right general winning openings 42. When the guide members 47a and 47b are in the initial positions, as shown in the figure, only one game ball can be held at the intermediate position between the guide members 47a and 47b, and when the guide members 47a and 47b are operated, The held game ball rolls toward the special winning opening 41.

  In the internal structure control information editing process of FIG. 23, when there is no big hit game in S131, S132 and the guidance device operation timer has not timed out, the guidance members 47a, 47b (guidance member solenoid 48 in S133, S134). ) Is turned on (the game ball held in the guide members 47a and 47b is guided to the special winning opening 41), and the guide device operation timer is updated. Then, when the guidance device operation timer expires, the output buffer of the guidance members 47a and 47b is turned off (a state in which the game ball is held immediately before the special winning opening 41) in S135.

  That is, until the guidance device activation timer is set, the game balls are held by the guidance members 47a and 47b immediately before the special winning opening 41, and when the guidance device activation timer is set, they are held by the guidance members 47a and 47b. The game balls that have been played are guided to the special winning opening 41, and after the guidance device operation timer is up, the guidance members 47a and 47b change to a mode in which the game balls can be held.

  When the jackpot game is in progress, data for jackpot is set in the output buffers of the guide members 47a and 47b in S136.

  In S137 to S139, the output buffer of the movable members 22a and 22b (movable member solenoids 32a and 32b), the output buffer of the floor board member 45 (floor board solenoid 46), and the output buffer of the first motor 50 are included. The data is set in the output buffer of the second motor 51.

  In the auxiliary game count SW monitoring process of FIG. 20, the auxiliary game count valid timer (set in the auxiliary game preparation process of FIG. 13) is updated in S42, and whether or not the auxiliary game count valid timer has expired in S43. If the time is not up, the auxiliary game winning number counter is incremented by one every time a game ball entering the concave chamber 15 of the variable winning device 4 is detected in S44 and S45.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S43 that the auxiliary game count valid timer is up, the process proceeds to S46, and if the auxiliary game winning number counter is less than 3, the special figure start memory and the auxiliary are stored in S47 and S48. If any of the game winning prize counters is 0, the process number in the special symbol game process of FIG. 10 is set to 0 in S49. If neither the special figure start memory nor the auxiliary game winning number counter is 0, the processing number in the special symbol game process of FIG.

  In the specific winning detection SW monitoring process of FIG. 21, a time (for example, 1 second) is set in the guidance device operation timer immediately before the time of the specific winning validity timer (set in the auxiliary game preparation process of FIG. 13) in S52 and S53. To do.

  In S54, the specific winning validity timer is updated. In S56, when the winning of the game ball in the special winning opening 41 of the variable winning device 4 is detected, the processing number in the special symbol game process of FIG. 10 is set to 6 in S57, and is turned on during the auxiliary game in S58. The power output buffer of the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 is turned off, the specific winning effective timer is cleared in S59, and a special symbol variation interruption command is transmitted to the effect control device 150 in S60. In S61, the start of a jackpot game (special game) is commanded.

  In S55, when there is no winning of the game ball in the special winning opening 41 and the specific winning validity timer times out, if the processing number in the special symbol game processing of FIG. 10 is 5 in S62 and S63, the processing number is set. Return to zero.

  In the changing process of FIG. 22, when the processing timer expires in S101, a time (processing time of processing number 2) is set in the processing timer in S102, the processing number is set to 2 in S103, and the processing proceeds to S104. Then, a symbol variation stop command for a special variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150, and a time (for example, 1 second) is set in the guidance device activation timer in S105.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the guide members 47a and 47b open the special winning opening 41 and the left and right general winning openings 42 at the end of the variable display game and immediately before the time of the specific winning effective timer of the auxiliary game. Open.

  Therefore, the auxiliary game count valid timer expires and a new variable display game is played on the special symbol display 52, while the game ball that has been in the variable winning device 4 is transferred to the ball separation path 40. In this case, since the guide members 47a and 47b are opened after the change display game is confirmed and the game ball is guided to the special winning opening 41, it becomes easy for the player to see the game ball winning in the special winning opening 41. For this reason, it becomes a highly interesting game machine that allows the player to show the start of the jackpot game with peace of mind.

  In addition, even if the guide members 47a and 47b are opened, if the game ball that has been in the variable winning device 4 is not lifted to the ball separation path 40, the game ball that has been lifted to the ball separation path 40 is also a special prize opening. If the player has not won 41, and the confirmed variable display game is a win, the movable members 22a and 22b of the variable winning device 4 are opened again, and the first and second rotating drums of the transport device 16 are opened. 36 and 37 are rotated, and the floor board member 45 and the guide members 47a and 47b become auxiliary games in which predetermined operations are performed.

  The embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative in all points and is not restrictive. 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.
