Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko gaming machine, a coin gaming machine, a slot machine, or the like. Specifically, a plurality of variation display units for performing a variable display of a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable and deriving and displaying a display result are provided, and the identification is performed by any one of the plurality of variation display units. When the display result of the variable display of information becomes a predetermined specific display result, it is controlled to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player, and the display result of the variable display of the identification information is further changed to the specific display result. Probability variation in which the probability that the display result of the variable display becomes the specific display result when it is determined to be a special display result determined in advance is higher than the normal game state different from the specific game state The present invention relates to a gaming machine controlled by a state.

  What is conventionally known as this type of gaming machine is, for example, a plurality (two) of deriving and displaying a display result by performing a variable display of a plurality of types of identification information (symbols) each identifiable When the display result of the variation display of the identification information becomes a predetermined specific display result (a combination of jackpot symbols) in any one of the plurality of variation display units. , When it is controlled to a specific gaming state (big hit gaming state) advantageous for the player, and when the display result of the variation display of the identification information becomes a predetermined special display result among the specific display results, The probability that the display result of the variation display becomes the specific display result is controlled to a probability variation state (high probability state) in which the probability is higher than the normal gaming state different from the specific gaming state (Patent Document 1,). Patent Document 2).

  In such a conventional gaming machine, in order to prevent the display result from being duplicated in both of the plurality of variation display units, the display result in one variation display unit is the specific display result. Until the specific game state in the one variation display portion is completed, the start of the variation display in the other variation display portion is delayed.

  However, the conventional gaming machine as described above has the following problems. When the display result on one variation display unit becomes the specific display result, the start of the variation display on the other variation display unit is delayed until the specific gaming state on the one variation display unit ends. Therefore, when such a variation display start delay occurs, the player realizes that the display result on one of the variation display portions becomes the specific display result, and the player's interest is reduced.

In addition, in a gaming machine that is controlled to the probability variation state after the end of the specific game state, a display indicating whether or not to shift to the probability variation state is displayed on the variation display unit after the specific game state is started. There was something to be done. As an example of what is displayed on the fluctuation display section whether or not to shift to the probability fluctuation state, when the big hit state occurs and the big hit state ends, the variable display on the probability fluctuation variable display Depending on the result, there is a display indicating whether or not to shift to the probability variation state (Patent Document 3). In addition, as an example of what is displayed on the fluctuation display unit whether or not to shift to the probability fluctuation state, the probability fluctuation state depends on whether or not a predetermined thing is acquired in a predetermined story displayed during jackpot control. In some cases, a display indicating whether or not to shift to is performed (Patent Document 4).
JP 2001-62080 A (FIG. 11) JP 2001-62081 A (FIG. 11) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-177041 (FIG. 1, paragraph number 0015) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-304312 (FIG. 7, paragraph numbers 0042 to 0047)

  In the conventional gaming machine as described above, in order to prevent the player from realizing that the display result becomes the specific display result, when the display result on one of the variable display units becomes the specific display result. , Without delaying the start of the fluctuation display on the other fluctuation display section, when the specific gaming state is reached based on the display result on the one fluctuation display section, the display on the other fluctuation display section is displayed. By interrupting, it is conceivable to prevent the display result from becoming a specific display result overlappingly in a plurality of variable display units. However, even when this is done, the following new problem arises. For example, in a conventional gaming machine, in the probability variation state, the variation time of the identification information is shortened (the variation time of the identification information is shortened), and even after the probability variation state ends, the probability The variation time shortened state until a specific gaming state that does not enter the variation state occurs, or until the duration of the preset variation time shortened state elapses (for example, until a variation display of a preset number of variations is performed). There is something that will continue. In such a gaming machine, it is determined to generate a specific gaming state that does not become a probability variation state based on the display result of one variation display unit in the variation time reduction state after the probability variation state, or in advance When it is determined that the end condition of the variable time reduction state such that the duration of the set variable time reduction state has passed is satisfied, the variable time reduction is performed when the variable display when the determination is made ends. The state was being terminated. In such a gaming machine, there is a difference depending on the player regarding the number of variable displays executed in the other variable display unit during the display of the variable display when it is determined that the end condition of the variable time reduction state is satisfied. There was a problem that occurred. For this reason, unfairness arises between players, and there is a possibility that the interest of the players may be reduced.

  In addition, in a gaming machine that displays whether or not to shift to the probability variation state based on the result of the variable display on the probability variation variable display after the big hit gaming state is finished, whether or not to transition to the probability variation state Because it is easy to understand, there is a problem that it is difficult to increase the interest of the player.

  In addition, as described above, in a gaming machine that displays whether or not to shift to the probability variation state after the start of the big hit gaming state, it indicates whether or not to shift to the probability fluctuation state before the start of the big hit gaming state. Display may occur. In such a gaming machine, there is a possibility that after the start of the big hit gaming state is displayed that the transition is made to the probability variation state, and further, after the big hit gaming state is started, the display is made that the transition is made to the probability variation state. There was a risk of reducing the interest of the player.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to enhance the interest of the player when controlled to the probability variation state based on the display on the plurality of variation display units. It is to provide a gaming machine.

The display execution control means displays the fact that the probability variation state is reached in the second effect display (combination of probability variation big winning symbol) (S238 in FIG. 23).

  According to such a configuration, the time-short state data indicating whether or not the variable time reduction state is set to the variable time reduction state data indicating that the variable time reduction state is in effect when shifting to the variable time reduction state. And is set to non-variable time shortening state data indicating that the variation time shortening state is not in effect when the variation time shortening state ends. Then, when the time-short state data is set as the variation time shortened state data, a shorter variation display time is selected than when the time-short state data is set as the non-variable time shortened state data. Further, when the variable information is controlled to be in a variable time shortening state, when the variable display of the identification information determined not to be controlled in the probability variable state is started in any one of the variable display units, or the variable time shortening period When the variation display of the identification information when it is determined that the time has elapsed is started in any one of the variation display units, the time reduction state data is set to the non-change time reduction state data. For this reason, the fluctuation display executed in the other fluctuation display section during the fluctuation display determined not to be controlled to the fluctuation time reduction state or during the fluctuation display determined to have passed the period for which the set fluctuation time reduction state continues. Due to the difference in the number of times, there is no difference among the players in the number of variable displays executed during the variable time reduction control state. As a result, since unfairness does not occur between players, it is possible to enhance the interest of the players.

  In addition, as an effect to be performed in the variable display unit, after the specific display result other than the special display result is temporarily stopped, the first effect display in which any type of specific display result is derived and displayed, and whether the probability change state is set The second effect display indicating whether or not can be executed.

Further, since the second effect display is executed in response to the second effect display start command transmitted after the specific game state is started, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player in the specific game state.

  Further, when the execution of the first effect display is instructed based on the change display start command and the execution of the second effect display is instructed based on the display result command, the display result command is in the probability variation state. , A specific display result other than the special display result is derived and displayed in the first effect display, and a message indicating that the probability effect state is entered in the second effect display is displayed. As a result, in the variation display when the display result becomes the special display result, the inconsistency in the effect display that the first effect display before the second effect display is shown to be in the probability variation state. Can be prevented. In addition, since the second effect display start command instructs whether or not to display that the probability variation state is achieved by executing the second effect display, the second effect display indicates that the probability variation state is set. It is possible to prevent an erroneous indication as to whether or not to perform.

Further, when an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) of second special symbols predetermined as jackpot symbols is derived and displayed as a display result by the second special symbol display 9, a second special symbol specific display is displayed. As a result, the second big hit gaming state occurs. When the odd number is derived and displayed as a display result by the second special symbol display 9, the second decoration specific display result that is a doublet is derived and displayed as a display result on the second decoration variation display portion 9k.

  When any one of the big hit symbols is derived and displayed by the first special symbol display 8, when any one of the double eyes is derived and displayed as the display result on the first decoration variation display portion 8k, or the second special symbol When any one of the big winning symbols is derived and displayed by the display unit 9, when any odd symbol of the odd symbol is derived and displayed on the second decoration variation display unit 9k, the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit For both two-variation display units, the fluctuation time is controlled after the probability fluctuation control mode (in the following embodiment, the probability fluctuation is sometimes referred to as an abbreviated term, for example, the probability variation control mode). The control can be performed in a shortened control mode (in the embodiment described below, the fluctuation time shortening may be referred to as an abbreviated time. For example, the time-shortened control mode). The probability variation control mode and the short time control mode are not in the state of these control modes, and the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is compared with the normal gaming state that is not in the big hit gaming state. Is included in the special gaming state, which is a gaming state in which the display result of the big hit symbol is likely to be a display result.

  When controlled to the probability variation control mode, it is controlled to a probability variation state that is a probability variation state, which will be described later, and to a time reduction state that is a variation time shortening state. The state controlled in such a probability variation control mode is referred to as a first state. Further, when controlled to the time reduction control mode, it is controlled to the non-probability change state and to the time reduction state. Such a state controlled to the short-time control mode is referred to as a second state.

  The probability variation state refers to a control state in which the probability of jackpot occurrence is improved as compared to the normal gaming state. In the probability variation state, the probability of jackpot occurrence is improved, so that the display result of the variable display is likely to be the display result of the jackpot symbol from a probabilistic viewpoint, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player. Of the combinations of jackpot symbols derived and displayed in each of the first decoration variation display section 8k and the second decoration variation display section 9k, combinations of jackpot symbols that generate a probability variation state when they are derived and displayed (an odd number of symbols) The combination of eyes) is called a probability variation jackpot symbol combination, and the symbols (odd symbols) constituting such a probability variation jackpot symbol combination are called probability variation jackpot symbols.

  In addition, the short-time state refers to the first special symbol display 8, the second special symbol display 9, the first decoration variation display unit 8k, the second special symbol display 9, and the first special symbol display described later, as compared to the normal gaming state. Each of the normal symbol display 12 and the second normal symbol display 13 (to be described later) has a variable display time (a time from the start of the change until the display result is derived and displayed), and the display result is derived and displayed at an early stage. Control state. In the short-time state, the display time of the fluctuation of the symbol is shortened, so that the number of reserved memories to be described later is digested early, and the start winning that occurs exceeding the upper limit (for example, “4”) of the number of reserved memories becomes invalid. Since the display results are frequently derived and displayed in a short period of time and it is easier to derive and display the winning display results at an early stage, the display result of the variable display becomes the display result of the big hit symbol from a time efficient viewpoint. It becomes easy and it becomes a game state advantageous for a player.

  When the probability variation big hit symbol is derived and displayed, the probability variation control mode is controlled. The probability variation control mode is a range in which the total variation display count (total variation display count of both variation display portions) in the first variation display portion and the second variation display portion reaches a predetermined variation display count (for example, 100 times). Continued in. In the probability variation control mode, when either the first variation display portion or the second variation display portion has a final display result of a non-probability variation big hit symbol different from the probability variation big hit symbol, the first fluctuation display portion and the second fluctuation display portion. Even when the total number of fluctuation displays on the display unit has not reached the predetermined fluctuation display count defined as the duration of the probability change state, the probability change control mode ends. Here, the final display result is a variable display when a combination of jackpot symbols or a combination of outlier symbols is derived and displayed when primary re-lottery display and secondary re-lottery display as described later are not performed. Is the display result. The final display result is a display result derived and displayed as a result of the primary re-lottery display when the primary re-lottery display is performed and the secondary re-lottery display is not performed. The final display result means a display result derived and displayed as a result of the secondary re-lottery display when the secondary re-lottery display is performed. In other words, the final display result is a display result that is fixed and that does not change after the derivation display.

  As described above, after the probability variation control mode is terminated because the number of variation displays has reached the predetermined number of variation displays or the variation display result of the non-probability variation big hit symbol is derived and displayed, control is performed to the non-probability variation state. At the same time, it is controlled to the time-shortening control mode for controlling to the time-shortening state. The time reduction control mode is a range in which the total number of fluctuation displays in the first fluctuation display section and the second fluctuation display section (total fluctuation display count of both fluctuation display sections) reaches a predetermined fluctuation display count (for example, 100 times). Continued in. During the time reduction control mode, when the final display result is a non-probable variable big hit symbol in either the first variation display unit or the second variation display unit, the total in the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit Even if the number of times of change display has not reached the predetermined number of times of change display defined as the duration of the time reduction control mode, the time reduction control mode ends.

  Also, in a state other than the probability variation control mode, when “0” or an even number of double-throws, which are combinations of non-probability variation big hit symbols, are derived and displayed on the first decoration variation display portion 8k as a display result, only the big hit gaming state occurs. However, the probability variation state and the time-short state as described above do not occur. Similarly, in a state other than the probability variation control mode, when “0” or an even-numbered doublet that is a combination of non-probability variation big hit symbols is derived and displayed on the second decoration fluctuation display portion 9k as a display result, only the big hit gaming state is displayed. The probability variation state and the short time state as described above do not occur.

  In addition, when either “0”, which is a missing symbol, or an even symbol is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8 as a display result, a combination of missing symbols is displayed in the first decoration variation display portion 8k. The incision (combination other than the doublet) is derived and displayed as a display result. When the second special symbol display 9 derives and displays either “0” or an even symbol as a display result as a display result, the second decoration variation display unit 9k is a combination of a dissociated symbol. (A combination other than a flat eye) is derived and displayed as a display result.

  In this embodiment, with regard to the special symbol jackpot design, the probability variation jackpot symbol and the non-probability variation jackpot symbol are not distinguished, i.e., the probability variation jackpot symbol and the non-probability variation jackpot symbol are shared. Indicated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for the special symbol jackpot symbol, the probability variation jackpot symbol and the non-probable variation jackpot symbol may be distinguished from each other. For example, for a special symbol, when a big hit symbol is divided into a probable big hit symbol and a non-probable big hit symbol, and a combination of the probable big hit symbol is derived and displayed by the first ornament variation display portion 8k or the second ornament variation display portion 9k. In addition, the first special symbol display unit 8 or the second special symbol display unit 9 is used to derive and display the probability variation big hit symbol, and the first ornament variation display unit 8k or the second ornament variation display unit 9k is a combination of the non-probable variation big hit symbol. May be derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9.

  In the present embodiment, the types of symbols used in the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 are the same, and the first decoration variation display unit 8k and the second decoration variation are used. An example in which the types of symbols used in the display unit 9k are the same will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the types of symbols used in the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 are different, and the first decorative variation display unit 8k and the second decorative variation display unit 9k Different types of symbols may be used.

  As described above, the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit are obtained by deriving and displaying the probability variation big winning symbol in one of the first decoration variation display unit 8k and the second decoration variation display unit 9k. Both are controlled to the probability variation control mode in which the control is controlled to the probability variation state and the time reduction state is controlled. Then, after the end of the probability variation control mode, both the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit are controlled to the non-probability variation state and to the time reduction control mode in which the time variation control is controlled.

  In the probability variation control mode, the probability variation state and the short time state are started after the end of the big hit gaming state when the result of the probability variation big hit symbol is displayed, but the subsequent variation display count is the predetermined variation display as described above. The probability variation state ends when the number of times is reached or when a big hit gaming state with a non-probability variable big hit symbol occurs. In this case, the time-short state ends when the probability-variable control mode ends, but since the time-short state is further controlled in the time-shortening control mode started thereafter, the time-varying state is substantially changed. The short time state started in the control mode is the time until the variation display count reaches the predetermined variation display count as described above after the probability variation state ends, or until the big hit gaming state with the non-probable variation big hit symbol occurs. Will continue.

  When the hit ball wins the first start winning opening 14, numerical data (for example, a big hit determination random number) is extracted in the first special symbol process described later. The numerical data thus extracted is stored in a first storage buffer (for example, a RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31) as a storage device so that the extraction order can be specified. The player is notified of the number of numerical data stored in the first reserved storage buffer as the reserved storage means, based on the number of lighting of the LED of the first special symbol reserved storage display 10 described above. The numerical data stored in this way is also called first reserved storage data. The first special symbol hold memory display 10 is composed of four LEDs, and is effective start winning (in this embodiment, the number of numerical data stored in the first hold memory buffer is less than 4). The number of times the LED is turned on is increased every time a ball hits the first start winning opening 14), and the number of times the LED is turned on is reduced by 1 every time the first special symbol display 8 starts to display fluctuation.

  When the hit ball wins the second start winning opening 16, numerical data (for example, a big hit determination random number) is extracted in the second special symbol process described later. The numeric data extracted in this way is stored in a second reserved storage buffer (for example, RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31) as the reserved storage means so that the extraction order can be specified. The number of numerical data stored in the second reserved storage buffer as the reserved storage means is notified to the player based on the number of lighting of the LED of the second special symbol reserved storage display 11 described above. The numerical data stored in this way is also called second reserved storage data. The second special symbol hold storage indicator 11 is composed of four LEDs, and is effective start winning (in this embodiment, the number of numerical data stored in the second hold storage buffer is less than 4). Whenever a ball hits the second start winning opening 16), the number of lighting of the LED is increased, and the number of lighting of the LED is decreased by 1 every time the second special symbol display 9 starts the variable display.

  The numerical data (random number) stored in the first reserved storage buffer starts the variable display of the first special symbol display 8 when the variable display start condition of the first special symbol display 8 is satisfied. This data indicates that the starting condition is satisfied. The numerical data stored in the second reserved storage buffer satisfies the start condition for starting the variable display of the second special symbol display 9 when the variable display start condition of the second special symbol display 9 is satisfied. This is data indicating that the Such numerical data stored in the hold storage buffer is also called hold storage data.

  In this embodiment, the numerical data extracted by the first extraction means and the second extraction means (for example, random numbers for jackpot determination, etc.) are respectively stored in the first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer. Of these, up to four numerical data are stored as predetermined upper limit numbers for which the start conditions (for example, the big hit gaming state and the end of the previous fluctuation display) are not yet established. The upper limit number of numerical data that can be stored in the first hold storage buffer and the second hold storage buffer is not limited to the above, and the upper limit number may be 20 (any integer), for example. Further, the upper limit value is changed (for example, changed from 4 to 20) based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, the display result is changed to the specific gaming state based on the special display result). It may be configured.

  Also, below the first special symbol display 8, a first variable winning device 15 having a first start winning port 14 through which a game ball can be won is provided.

Further, the first variable winning device 15 that performs the opening / closing operation having the first start winning port 14 is provided with a pair of left and right movable pieces. The movable piece of the first variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71. When the movable piece of the first variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71, it becomes easier for the game ball to win the first start winning opening 14 (easier to start winning), which is advantageous to the player. .

  Also, below the second special symbol display 9, a second variable winning device 17 having a second start winning port 16 through which a game ball can be won is provided. The winning ball that has entered the second start winning opening 16 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 67. The second variable winning device 17 that performs the opening / closing operation having the second start winning port 16 is provided with a pair of left and right movable pieces. The movable piece of the second variable winning device 17 is opened by the solenoid 74. When the movable piece of the second variable winning device 17 is opened by the solenoid 74, it becomes easier for the game ball to win the second starting winning port 16 (starting winning becomes easier), which is advantageous for the player. .

  Below the first start winning opening 14, a first special variable prize that is opened by the solenoid 72 at the big hit based on the first special symbol display result being derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8. A device 20 is provided. The first special variable winning device 20 includes a first big winning opening 21 inside. The solenoid 72 is means for opening and closing an opening / closing door provided on the front surface of the first special variable winning device 20.

Of the winning balls led to the back of the game board 6 from the second grand prize opening 23, the winning ball that has entered one (V winning area) is detected by the second V winning switch 69 and the other (10 The winning ball that has entered the (count winning area) is detected by the second count switch 68. On the back of the game board 6, there is also provided a solenoid (not shown here and shown as a solenoid 76 in FIG. 2) for driving a path switching member (seesaw) for switching the path in the second big prize opening 23. ing.

  In this embodiment, the first special variable winning device 20 and the second special symbol display 9 that open and close based on the first special symbol specific display result derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8 are displayed on the first special symbol display 8. Although the second special variable winning device 22 that opens and closes based on the second specific display result being derived and displayed is provided, only one special variable winning device may be provided. That is, a special variable winning device that is controlled to open and close based on the first special symbol specific display result derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8, and the second special symbol specific display on the second special symbol display 9. The special variable winning device that is controlled to open and close based on the result being derived and displayed may be configured using the same special variable winning device.

  In this embodiment, the first variable winning device 15 related to establishment of the starting condition of the first special symbol display 8 and the second variable winning device 17 related to establishment of the starting condition of the second special symbol display 9 are provided. Although each example provided is described, the present invention is not limited to this, and there is one variable winning device related to the establishment of the start condition, and this variable winning device has two variable display units (first special symbol display 8, second special symbol display device). You may make it relate to establishment of the starting conditions of the symbol display 9). In that case, when the game ball is won at the start winning opening of the variable winning device, it fluctuates in any fluctuation display section (for example, either the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9). It is good also as a structure which selects whether a display is performed, and it is good also as a predetermined order (for example, for example) predetermined about two fluctuation display parts (for example, the 1st special symbol display 8 and the 2nd special symbol display 9). The first special symbol display unit 8 and the second special symbol display unit 9 may be configured to perform variable display alternately.

  On the lower left side of the first decoration variation display portion 8k, there is provided a first normal symbol display 12 composed of a pair of LEDs marked with “◯” and “X”. The first normal symbol display 12 is capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When a game ball passes through the first gate 28 and is detected by the first gate switch 61, a random number for normal symbol determination is extracted and stored in the first normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 mounted on the main board 31. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol that can be stored in the first normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 is four. If the number of random numbers for normal symbol determination stored in the first normal symbol buffer has not reached the upper limit, that is, the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol stored in the first normal symbol buffer is 4 If the number has not been reached, a random number for normal symbol determination is extracted. If the display state of the normal symbol on the first normal symbol display 12 can be changed (“◯” and “x” are alternately lit), the normal display on the first normal symbol display 12 is normal. The symbol variation display is started. If the first normal symbol display 12 is not in a state where it is possible to start the variable display in which the display state changes, the random number for determination per normal symbol is stored in the first normal symbol buffer so that the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol can be stored. Increase by one. Further, below the first normal symbol display 12, a first normal symbol hold storage indicator having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol. 18 is provided. The first normal symbol storage memory display 18 increases the number of LEDs that are turned on each time a game ball passes through the first gate 28 and is detected by the first gate switch 61. Then, the number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by 1 each time the first normal symbol display 12 starts the variable display of the normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”).

  In this embodiment, the left and right lamps marked with “◯” and “X” are turned on alternately on the first normal symbol display 12 so that the normal symbol is displayed. Variation display is performed, and the variation display continues in a standard variation time (for example, 29.2 seconds) in a non-time-short state. Then, if the upper lamp with “◯” is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. Whether or not to win is determined based on the value of numerical data (normal random number for symbol determination) extracted when the game ball passes through the first gate 28 and the first gate switch 61 detects the game ball. It is determined by whether or not it matches the judgment value per ordinary symbol. When the display result of the variable display on the first normal symbol display 12 is a win, the first variable winning device 15 is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time, and the game ball wins the first start winning opening 14. It becomes easy to do. That is, the state of the first variable winning device 15 changes from an unfavorable state to an advantageous state to the player when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol.

  The first normal symbol display unit 12 and the first normal symbol hold storage display unit 18 have been described above. The second normal symbol display unit 13 and the second normal symbol hold storage display unit are displayed at the lower right of the second decoration variation display unit 9k. A container 19 is provided. As with the first normal symbol display 12, the second normal symbol display 13 can also variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols. When a game ball passes through the second gate 29 and is detected by the second gate switch 66, a random number for normal symbol determination is extracted and stored in the second normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 mounted on the main board 31. . In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol that can be stored in the second ordinary symbol buffer of the RAM 55 is four. Based on this stored number, the second normal symbol display 13 performs a variable display. Further, based on this stored number, the LED is turned on in the second normal symbol holding storage display 19. When the display result of the variable display on the second normal symbol display 13 is a win, the second variable winning device 17 is opened for a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time, and the game ball wins the second start winning port 16. It becomes easy to do. That is, the state of the variable winning device 17 changes from an unfavorable state to an advantageous state to the player when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol.

  In the time-short state, in addition to the above-described control for reducing the variation time, the first variable prize-winning device 15 and the second variable prize-winning device 17 control the opening time to be longer than the non-time-shortening state and One or both of the controls that are increased from the short-time state are performed. When the opening time or the number of times of opening of the first variable winning device 15 and the second variable winning device 17 is increased from the normal gaming state, starting winnings to the first starting winning port 14 and the second starting winning port 16 are likely to occur. Thereby, in the short-time state, the probability that the number of variable displays on the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 within a predetermined period increases and the winning symbol becomes higher than the normal gaming state. This is a more advantageous state.

  In addition, in the game area 7, in addition to the above-described winning opening, a plurality of winning areas called normal winning openings are provided (not shown). Each of the normal winning ports has a normal winning switch for detecting a winning game ball.

  On the left and right periphery of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there are provided decorative lamps 25 that are blinked during the game. In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there is provided an out port 26 through which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A plurality of game effect lamps 40 are provided on the left outer periphery and the right outer periphery of the game area 7 in the front frame. Also, in the vicinity of the left and right game effect lamps 40, a prize ball lamp (not shown in FIG. 1 and shown in FIG. 2, etc.) that lights when there is a remaining number of prize balls, and lights when the supply ball runs out. A ball break lamp (not shown in FIG. 1 and shown in FIG. 2 and the like) is provided.

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. In the present embodiment, the reach display mode (reach) means that the symbols that have not been stopped when the stopped symbols constitute a part of the jackpot symbol, and that all or one of them is displayed. This is a state in which the symbols of the part are displayed in a synchronized manner while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, in the first decoration variation display portion 8k and the second decoration variation display portion 9k, an effective line (one effective line in the case of the present embodiment) that is a winning when the symbol stops is determined in advance. When a predetermined symbol is stopped in a part of the display area on the effective line, a state in which the variable display is performed in the display area on the effective line that has not been stopped (for example, the first decoration change) Among the left, middle, and right display areas in the display unit 8k and the second decoration variation display unit 9k, the left and right display areas are still displayed with the same symbol stopped, and the middle display area is still in a variable display. In a state where all or a part of the display area on the active line is synchronously displayed while forming all or part of the jackpot symbol (for example, the first decoration variation display) Part 8 , Reach display in a state in which the variable display is performed on all of the left, middle, and right display areas in the second decorative variable display section 9k, and the variable display is always performed with the same symbols aligned. Aspect or reach.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decorative design etc.)), a first ornament variation display unit 8k and / or a second ornament variation display is displayed. The display mode (for example, color etc.) of the background of the part 9k may be changed. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display.

  In addition, for each of the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit, there is a case where a big hit announcement is performed, which is a announcement effect for notifying that a big hit will be made when it is determined that a big hit will be made. is there.

  Next, a specific game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a ball hitting device (not shown) that drives a driving motor by operating a hitting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a game ball into the game area 7. Yes. A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail mounted in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7 on the game board 6, and then descends the game area 7.

  When the hit ball enters the first start winning opening 14 and is detected by the first start opening switch 62, if the variation display of the first special symbol display 8 can be started (for example, the end of the big hit game or the previous variation display) ), The variable display on the first special symbol display 8 is started. If the variable display on the first special symbol display 8 is not ready to start, the number of numerical data (for example, random numbers for jackpot determination) stored in the first reserved memory buffer is increased by 1, and the first special symbol reserved The number of lighting of the LED of the memory display 10 is increased.

  Further, when the hit ball enters the second start winning opening 16 and is detected by the second start opening switch 67, it is in a state in which the variable display of the second special symbol display 9 can be started (for example, the end of the big hit game or the previous time End of fluctuation display), the fluctuation display of the second special symbol display 9 is started. If the variable display on the second special symbol display unit 9 is not ready to start, the number of numerical data stored in the second reserved memory buffer (for example, a random number for jackpot determination) is increased by 1, and the second special symbol reserved The number of lighting of the LED of the memory display 11 is increased.

  The fluctuation display of the first special symbol display 8 stops when a certain time has elapsed. When the special symbol stopped by the first special symbol indicator 8 becomes a big hit symbol, the game proceeds to the first big hit gaming state as the first specific gaming state. In the first big hit gaming state, the first special winning prize port 21 is used by the first special variable prize winning device 20 until a predetermined time elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls win the first big prize winning opening 21. Is released. It should be noted that a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of hitting balls from the first special variable winning device 20 until a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) elapses after the first grand prize opening 21 is opened, or the first grand prize winning device. Until the winning of the mouth 21 is one round in the big hit gaming state. When the first special variable prize winning device 20 opens the first big prize opening 21, the hit ball enters the V prize area in the first big prize opening 21 and is detected by the first V prize switch 64. And the first special prize winning device 20 opens the first big prize opening 21 again. The generation of the continuation right is allowed a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds).

  As described above, when the stop symbol at the time of the variable stop of the first special symbol indicator 8 is the probability variation big hit symbol, the first big hit gaming state is controlled, and after the first big hit gaming state is finished, the probability changing state is entered. Controlled to the probability variation control mode.

  The fluctuation display on the second special symbol display 9 stops when a certain time has elapsed. When the special symbol stopped by the second special symbol display 9 becomes a big hit symbol, the state shifts to the second big hit gaming state as the second specific gaming state. In the second big hit gaming state, the second special prize winning device 23 is used by the second special variable prize winning device 22 until a predetermined time elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls win the second big prize winning port 23. Is released. It should be noted that until a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the second special prize-winning device 22 is opened and closed by the second special variable prize-winning device 22, or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of hit balls wins the second big prize-winning port 23. Is one round in the jackpot gaming state. Then, when the second special prize winning device 22 opens the second big prize opening 23, the hit ball enters the V prize area in the second big prize opening 23 and is detected by the second V prize switch 69. And the second special prize winning device 22 opens the second big prize opening 23 again. The generation of the continuation right is allowed a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds).

  As described above, when the stop symbol of the second special symbol indicator 9 when the fluctuation is stopped is the probability variation big hit symbol, it is controlled to the second big hit gaming state, and after the second big hit gaming state is finished, the probability changing state is entered. Controlled to the probability variation control mode.

In addition, the specific game state according to the present invention is not limited to the above, and may be a state in which any one of the following controls 1 to 5 or a combination of controls is executed.
1. A variable winning device that can change between a first state that facilitates winning of a hit ball and a second state in which the hit ball cannot win or that is difficult to win, is changed to the first state continuously or intermittently for a predetermined time. 1. Control to A variable winning device that can change between a first state that makes it easy to win a hit ball and a second state that makes it difficult or difficult to win a ball, with the detection of a hit ball in a specific winning or passing area. 2. Control for setting to the first state continuously or intermittently for a predetermined time. 3. Control to discharge a predetermined number of prize balls directly regardless of the winning of the hit ball. 4. Control for adding a valuable number to a storage medium (card, receipt, etc.) having a valuable value Control for assigning a score to a ball game machine that can be played based on the presence of a score Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, each of the first and second variation display units is a big hit. When the variable display is performed, after the symbol once stopped is changed again, there is a case where a display (hereinafter also referred to as a re-lottery display) is performed for re-lottery as an effect for deriving and displaying the display result. . Specifically, the re-lottery display is performed on both the first decoration variation display portion 8k and the second decoration variation display portion 9k.

  The re-lottery display includes a plurality of re-lottery displays including a primary re-lottery display and a secondary re-lottery display. In the first lottery display, in the variable display that triggers the big hit gaming state, the combination of the non-probable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as a temporary stop symbol, then the variable display is started again, and then the non-probable variable is displayed. This is a display that produces an effect of deriving and displaying (stop-displaying) a combination of jackpot symbols or a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols. In addition, the second re-lottery display is a non-deterministic display that is derived when the jackpot gaming state that is generated based on the combination of the non-probability varying jackpot symbols is derived and displayed, and is controlled when the jackpot gaming state is controlled. This is a display in which the variation display is started again for the combination of the probable variation jackpot symbol, and then the non-probability variation jackpot symbol combination or the probability variation jackpot symbol combination is derived and displayed (stop display).

  In the case of this embodiment, the first re-lottery display is performed on the ornamental fluctuation display portion on which the combination of the big hit symbols is displayed as the fluctuation display result, and the second re-lottery display is the big hit symbol as the fluctuation display result. This is performed in the decoration variation display section on which the combination is not displayed. Note that the secondary re-lottery display may be performed on the decoration variation display section that displays the combination of jackpot symbols as the variation display result.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the final display result when the variable display is performed is a combination of the uncertain variable big hit symbol, the control for surely performing the secondary re-lottery display is executed. The reason why the secondary re-lottery display is always performed when the final display result when the variable display is performed is not a combination of the probable big hit symbols is as follows. The reason is that when the display result of the variable display that triggers the occurrence of the big hit gaming state, that is, when the combination of symbols derived and displayed as the display result before the big hit gaming state becomes a combination of the non-probable big hit symbol This is because the player recognizes that the player is not controlled to the probable state unless the re-lottery display is performed, so that the interest of the player is not lowered. On the other hand, when the final display result is a combination of probability variation big hit symbols, whether or not to perform secondary re-lottery display is determined at random, and control to perform secondary re-lottery display is executed.

  Further, in this embodiment, the display result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is the display result of the variation display that triggers the occurrence of the big hit gaming state (the display result derived and displayed before the big hit gaming state, (Including the display result when the next re-lottery display is performed) is a combination of the probable big hit symbol, or the display result of the secondary re-lottery display that may be performed at the end of the big win game state is the probable big hit When it becomes a combination of symbols, it is controlled to the probability variation control mode.

This R1 is added and updated by 1 every 2 msec. When a valid start winning is detected by the first start opening switch 62 or the second start opening switch 67, a random number of this R1 is extracted accordingly, and the first start winning storage data or the second start winning storage data. Is stored in the RAM 55. And about each of the 1st special symbol display 8 and the 2nd special symbol display 9, the extraction value memorize | stored in RAM55 in that way is the stage before starting the fluctuation | variation display of a special symbol. It is determined whether or not it matches the determination value. In this determination, if they match, it is decided to generate a big hit by using the display result of the variable display as a combination of the big hit symbols, and the above-mentioned control of the big hit gaming state is performed. It is determined that the display result is out of play, and the gaming state does not change. In a normal probability state other than the probability variation state, the jackpot determination value is set to one numerical value, for example. In the probability variation state, the big hit judgment value is set to a plurality of numerical values (in this case, the big hit judgment value is set so that the numerical order is not adjacent to the big hit judgment value so as not to be biased). As a result, the probability of a big hit is improved as compared with the case of the non-probable change state.

  R2 is a random counter for generating a random number used to determine whether or not to control to the probability variation state when it is determined in advance that the big hit is generated by the big hit determination using R1. R2 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “19”, and count up again from “0”, and is incremented and updated by 1 every 2 msec. R2 is extracted at the same timing as R1, and is stored in the RAM 55 as the data for the first start winning memory or the data for the second start winning memory. The extracted value of R2 is read at a predetermined timing before starting the variation display of the special symbol, and it is determined whether or not it matches a predetermined probability variation determination value. In this determination, if they match, it is determined to control to the probability variation state, and if they do not match, it is determined not to control to the probability variation state.

  R3 determines which type of jackpot symbol is to be displayed on the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9 when the jackpot determination using R1 is determined in advance. It is a random counter for generating a random number used for determining at random. R3 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “4”, and then count up again from “0”. Added and updated. The value of R3 is allocated and associated with each of the special symbol jackpot symbols. R3 is extracted at a predetermined timing before the start of the special symbol variation display, and the special symbol corresponding to the selected value of R3 is determined as the jackpot symbol.

  Here, the count-up operation in the remaining interrupt processing time performed in a predetermined random counter such as R3 will be described. The CPU 56 of the game control microcomputer 53 performs various controls by periodically executing interrupt processing. For a certain interrupt processing, after the interrupt processing is executed, the period until the next execution start of the interrupt processing is performed. Waiting for interrupt processing. Repeating the random counter addition update process using an infinite loop during the interrupt process surplus time waiting for such interrupt process is called counting up the interrupt process surplus time.

  When R4 is determined in advance to be out of jackpot determination using R1 (no jackpot is generated), which type of outlier symbol is designated as the first special symbol indicator 8 or the second special symbol. It is a random counter for generating a random number used for determining at random whether to display on the display unit 9. R4 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “4”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. The value of R4 is allocated and associated with each of the special symbols. R4 is extracted at a predetermined timing before starting the variable symbol display of the special symbol, and the special symbol corresponding to the selected value of R4 is determined as the off symbol.

  R5 indicates a variation pattern which is a variation display pattern of the first special symbol display 8 (including the first decoration variation display unit 8k) and the second special symbol display 9 (including the second decoration variation display unit 9k). It is a numerical data updating means (random counter) for generating a random number used for determining at random. R5 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to “99”, which is the upper limit, and count up again from “0”, and once every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Added and updated. Based on the value of the counter extracted from R5 at a predetermined timing such as at the start of special symbol variation, based on the relationship between the predetermined count value and the variation pattern, from among a plurality of predetermined variation patterns The variation pattern used for variation display is selected and determined. Each fluctuation pattern has a predetermined fluctuation display time (the time from the start of fluctuation display until the display result is derived and displayed, also called the fluctuation time). The variable display time is selected and determined.

  R6 forms the above-described reach display mode during the variable display when it is determined that each of the first decorative variation display unit 8k and the second decorative variation display unit 9k is out of the jackpot determination ( A random counter for reach determination for generating a random number used to randomly determine whether the reach display mode is not used (hereinafter referred to as “reach out”) or the reach display mode is not formed (hereinafter referred to as “non-reach out”). It is. R6 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “39”, and then count up again from “0”, adding 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. At the stage before determining the variation pattern, the value of R6 is extracted, and it is determined whether or not the extracted value of R6 matches a predetermined reach determination value. If these values match, it is determined that the reach is out of control, and the reach state is controlled during the variable display where the display result is out of control. On the other hand, when these values do not coincide with each other, it is determined that the non-reach is out of control, and control is performed not to reach the reach state during the variable display in which the display result is out of place.

  R7 is a random counter for generating random numbers used to randomly determine in advance whether or not to generate a hit for each variable display of the first normal symbol display 12 and the second normal symbol display 13 It is. R7 is configured to count up from an initial value such as “0”, count up to its upper limit “11”, and then count up again from an initial value such as “0”, and every 2 msec. One is added and updated. When a valid start passage is detected by the first gate switch 61 or the second gate switch 66, the R7 random number is extracted and stored in the RAM 55 as passage storage data. Then, at the stage before starting the normal symbol variation display, it is determined whether or not the extracted value matches a predetermined hit determination value. If they match, the normal symbol hit can be generated. The above-described control is performed, and if they do not match, it is determined to be out of control and the above-described control is not performed.

  R8 is a random counter for generating a random number used to randomly determine the initial value of R1 described above. R8 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “400”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. When the count value of R1 reaches the upper limit value, the value of R8 is extracted, and an initial value corresponding to the extracted value of R8 is determined based on a predetermined relationship between the value of R8 and the initial value of R1. It is set as the initial value of R1, and R1 is counted.

  R9 is a random counter for generating a random number used for randomly determining the initial value of R7 described above. R9 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “11”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. When the count value of R7 reaches the upper limit value, the value of R9 is extracted, and an initial value corresponding to the extracted value of R9 is determined based on a predetermined relationship between the value of R9 and the initial value of R7. R7 is counted as an initial value of R7.

  R10 is a random counter for generating a random number used for determining whether or not to execute the secondary re-lottery display described above. R10 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “49”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. R10 is extracted at a predetermined timing before starting the special symbol variation display, and it is determined whether or not it matches a predetermined secondary re-lottery determination value. In this determination, if they match, it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is performed, and the secondary re-lottery display is executed in the decorative symbol variation display. Is determined, and the secondary re-lottery display is not executed in the decorative symbol variation display.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of various random counters used by the display control microcomputer 800 for display control. FIG. 4 shows, as an example of the random counter, random counters RU-1 to RU-3 for determining decorative symbol stop symbols.

  RU-1 to RU-3 are for generating random numbers used to randomly determine a stop symbol of a decorative symbol in advance for each of the first decorative variation display unit 8k and the second decorative variation display unit 9k. It is a random counter for determining a decorative symbol stop symbol. RU-1 is used to determine the stop symbol of the left symbol. RU-2 is used to determine the stop symbol of the middle symbol. RU-3 is used to determine the stop symbol of the right symbol. For each of RU-1 to RU-3, RU-1 is updated every 33 msec, RU-2 is updated every carry of RU-1, and RU-3 is updated every carry of RU-2. After being updated and updated to 9 which is the upper limit, it is updated again from 0.

  The decorative symbols are changed (updated) and displayed in accordance with a predetermined symbol arrangement order. Each of the plural types of decorative symbols is associated with numerical data for determining decorative symbol stop symbols, and in the big hit determination (determination by R1) by the game control microcomputer 53, it is a case where it is determined that there is a deviation. When it is determined that the reach state is not reached by the reach determination, the symbols corresponding to the random numbers extracted from each of RU-1 to RU-3 at the predetermined timing are the left, middle, and right decorative symbols, respectively. It is determined as the stop symbol that will be the final display result. In addition, when it is determined that the jackpot judgment is a deviation, if the stop symbol corresponding to the extracted random number coincides with the symbol of the jackpot accidentally, it is corrected so as to become a symbol of a loss (for example, the middle symbol is changed). Each symbol is determined by one symbol shift correction). In addition, when it is determined that the jackpot determination is a shift and the reach determination is determined by reach determination, the random number extracted at the above-described timing is extracted from RU-1. The symbol corresponding to the random number is determined as the stop symbol of each of the left and right decorative symbols forming the reach state, and the symbol corresponding to the numerical data corresponding to the counter value extracted from RU-2 is the stop symbol of the middle symbol As determined. Also in this case, when the combination of the big hit symbol is accidentally made, each stop symbol is determined by correcting the symbol so that it becomes an off symbol (for example, correcting the middle symbol by one symbol).

  Further, when it is determined that the big hit is determined by the big hit determination by the game control microcomputer 53 and it is determined that the probability change state is determined by the probability change determination (determination by R2), the RU is determined at a predetermined timing. The probability variation jackpot symbol (odd ornament symbol) corresponding to the random number extracted from -3 is determined as a stop symbol that is the final display result of each of the left, middle, and right ornament symbols. Further, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a big hit, and it is determined that the probability variation state is not set by the probability variation determination, the non-probability variation corresponding to the random number extracted from the RU-3 at a predetermined timing. The jackpot symbol (0 or even symbol) is determined as the stop symbol that is the final display result of each of the left, middle and right decorative symbols. Further, as will be described later, RU-1 to RU-3 are temporary stop symbols in the primary re-lottery display and 1 when the secondary re-lottery display is performed, in addition to the stop symbol that is the final display result. It is also used to determine a stop symbol as a variable display result in the next re-lottery display.

  FIG. 5 shows the first variation display unit (first special symbol display unit 8, first decoration variation display unit 8k) and the second variation display unit (second special symbol display unit 9, second decoration variation display unit 9k). It is a figure for demonstrating the data table for the fluctuation pattern selection which memorize | stored the determination value used in order to select and determine the fluctuation pattern and the presence or absence of a primary re-lottery display. The data table for selecting the variation pattern is controlled by both the shortening variation pattern data table used for selecting and determining the shortening variation pattern used in the probability variation control mode and the short time control mode, and the probability variation control mode and the short time control mode. And a non-shortening variation pattern data table used for selecting and determining a non-shortening variation pattern used in the normal game state, which is stored in advance in the ROM 54 described above.

  FIG. 5A is a non-shortening variation pattern data table that is looked up in the normal gaming state that is not controlled in either the probability variation control mode or the time reduction control mode described above. In the non-shortening variation pattern data table, based on the result of jackpot determination using R1 and the result of reach determination using R6, the non-reach shift determination data table, the reach shift determination data table, and the jackpot determination Different data tables are used.

  When the jackpot determination result using R1 is out of the range and the reach determination result using R6 is a non-reach out determination that does not cause reach, it is selected as the extracted value of R5 and the variation pattern used for variation display A non-reach deviation determination data table is used in which the relationship with the determined variation pattern is determined as follows. The information of the variation pattern in this case includes information that can specify the type of the variation pattern and the time for performing the variation display (variation display time), and further information on the presence / absence of the first re-lottery. Is also included.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “0 to 49”, “no normal A variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 10 seconds is selected and determined. Here, “without primary re-lottery” indicates that primary re-lottery display is not performed, and indicates a variation pattern in which a variation display result is derived and displayed without performing primary re-lottery. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “50 to 99”, “no normal B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined.

  Also, when the jackpot determination result using R1 is out of the range, and the reach determination result using R6 is the reach outage determination time for generating reach, the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation used for the fluctuation display are displayed. A reach-offset determination data table is used in which the relationship with the variation pattern selected and determined as a pattern is determined as follows. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “0 to 49”, “no reach A variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extraction value of R5 is within the range of “50 to 79”, “no reach B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “80 to 99”, “no reach C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined.

  Also, when the big hit determination result using R1 is the big hit determination time when the big hit is determined, the relationship between the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation pattern selected and determined as the fluctuation pattern used for the fluctuation display is determined as follows. The determined jackpot data table is used. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “0 to 9”, “Big hit A variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. Here, “with primary re-lottery” indicates that primary re-lottery display is performed, and indicates a variation pattern in which a variation display result is derived and displayed after the primary re-lottery is performed. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “10 to 19”, “no big hit A fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined.

  For the fluctuation pattern with the primary re-lottery, the time during which the primary re-lottery display is performed is included in the fluctuation display time. For example, “big hit A fluctuation pattern with primary re-lottery” and “big hit A fluctuation pattern with no primary re-lottery” are displayed in a common big hit A fluctuation pattern. “A variation pattern primary re-lottery” is “no big hit A variation pattern primary re-lottery” because the primary re-lottery display is performed for 5 seconds after the temporary stop symbol is stopped and displayed in the big hit A variation pattern. In comparison, the variable display time is set longer by 5 seconds. Such a relationship is the same for other variation patterns. In the variation pattern shown in this embodiment, since the primary re-lottery display and the secondary re-lottery display are managed separately in the variation mode and the variation time, the secondary re-lottery display is performed during the designated variation time. The fluctuation time of is not included.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “20 to 34”, “Big hit B variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “35 to 49”, “no big hit B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “50 to 74”, “Big hit C variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 30 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “75 to 99”, “no big hit C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined.

  FIG. 5B is a shortened variation pattern data table that is looked up when controlled in the above-described probability variation control mode and when controlled in the time reduction control mode. In the shortened variation pattern data table, as in the case of the non-shortened variation pattern data table, based on the result of the jackpot determination using R1 and the result of reach determination using R6, the non-reach deviation determination data table, reach A data table for determining a loss and a data table for determining a jackpot are properly used.

  When the jackpot determination result using R1 is out of the range and the reach determination result using R6 is a non-reach out determination that does not generate reach, the fluctuation pattern used for the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation display A non-reach deviation determination data table is used in which the relationship with the variation pattern to be selected is determined as follows. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “0 to 49”, “no normal C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 5 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “50 to 99”, “no normal D fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 5 seconds is selected and determined.

  In addition, when the big hit determination result using R1 is out of order and the reach determination result using R6 is at the time of reaching out determination that generates reach, the fluctuation pattern used for the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation display A reach-offset determination data table is used in which the relationship with the variation pattern selected and determined as follows is determined as follows. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “0 to 69”, “no reach D variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 10 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “70 to 99”, “no reach E variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 10 seconds is selected and determined.

  Further, when the big hit determination result using R1 is the big hit determination when the big hit is determined, the relationship between the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation pattern selected and determined as the fluctuation pattern used for the fluctuation display is determined as follows. A data table is used when determining the jackpot. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “0 to 14”, “Big hit D variation pattern primary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “15 to 29”, “no big hit D fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 10 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “30 to 62”, “Big hit E fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “63 to 99”, “no big hit E fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 10 seconds is selected and determined.

  In FIG. 5, the command number of the variation pattern command transmitted corresponding to the selected variation pattern is shown in the right column (command No. column) of each variation pattern selected in the data table. . Such a command number corresponds to a command number shown in FIG.

  As will be described later, the variation pattern used for the variation display in the present embodiment is a first variation display unit (first special symbol display 8, first decoration variation display unit 8k) or second variation display unit (first variation display unit). 2 When the variable display is started on the special symbol display 9 and the second decoration variation display unit 9k), S142 in the first special symbol process described later with reference to FIG. 10 and the same in the second special symbol process In step, the data table described in FIG. 5 is looked up and determined.

  Next, an effect control command transmitted from the main board 31 to the display control board 80 will be described. FIG. 6 is a table showing an example of the effect control command. In FIG. 6, a command number is assigned to each effect control command, and the command name and the content of the command are shown in association with each other.

  The commands of the variation patterns # 1 to # 14 without the first side primary re-lottery are used on the first side (meaning the first variation display section side, and are used in the same meaning below), while the second variation display This is a variation pattern command for designating a variation pattern without primary re-lottery, for example, the various variation patterns without primary re-lottery explained with reference to FIG. The production control command is described with the words “first side” and “second side” in order to specify the control target, but the description target is “first side” and “second side”. When referring to both, the description will be made without adding the words “first side” and “second side”. For example, the case of “variation pattern without primary re-lottery” refers to both “first side” and “second side”.

  The commands of the variation patterns # 1 to # 5 with the first side primary re-lottery are the variation pattern commands for designating the variation pattern with the primary re-lottery on the first side. It shows various fluctuation patterns with lottery.

  The first-side deviation designation command is a symbol information command that designates that the final display result is a combination of symbols that are missing on the first side. The symbol information command is a command for designating symbol information to be derived and displayed.

  The first side normal jackpot designation command is a symbol information command that designates that the final display result on the first side is a combination of normal jackpot symbols as a combination of uncertain variable big hit symbols. The first side probability variation jackpot designation command is a symbol information command which designates that the final display result is a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols on the first side. The first side probability variable big hit designation secondary re-lottery designation command is a symbol information command which designates that the final display result on the first side is a combination of probability variable big hit symbols and that the second re-lottery display is performed. is there.

  For the command indicating that there is no rise after the second secondary lottery on the first side, the display result derived and displayed in the secondary second lottery display on the first side does not improve from the combination of the non-probable variable big hit symbol to the combination of the probable big hit symbol. This is an ending display command for designating. Here, “rise” means that the combination of symbols displayed as a display result is changed from the combination of non-probable variation big winning symbols to the combination of positive variation big winning symbols in the re-lottery display. The ending display command is a command for designating the contents of the ending display, which is a general term for effect display performed at the end of the big hit gaming state. In addition, the display designation command for completion after the second secondary lottery on the first side indicates that the display result derived and displayed in the secondary secondary lottery display on the first side is changed from a combination of non-probable large hit symbols to a combination of positive probability big hit symbols. This is an ending display command that specifies to go up.

  The first side jackpot normal end display designation command is an ending display command that designates a normal end display as an ending display when the secondary re-lottery display is not performed at the end of the big hit gaming state.

  Next, the first variation display unit (first special symbol display unit 8, first decoration variation display unit 8k) and second variation display unit (second special symbol display unit 9, second decoration variation) in the probability variation state and the short time state. The operation of the display unit 9k) will be described.

  First, the operation of the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit when the time-shortening control mode after the end of the probability variation control mode is terminated by reaching a predetermined variation display count (for example, 100 times) will be described. FIG. 7 is a timing chart for explaining the operation of the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit in the probability variation state and the short time state. In FIG. 7, (a) shows whether the state is controlled to the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state, and (b) shows whether the state is controlled to the time-short state or the non-time-short state. ) Shows whether the big hit gaming state or the non-hit gaming state is controlled, and (d) shows whether the first fluctuation display portion is controlled to the fluctuation state or the stopped state. e) shows whether the second fluctuation display section is controlled in the fluctuation state or the stop state. In addition, the numbers with circles shown in the lower column in FIG. 7 indicate the timing in each of (a) to (e). Hereinafter, the numbers are simply expressed as timing 1 to timing 7.

  Timing 1 shows the timing when the variable display is started when the final display result is a combination of the probable big hit symbols in the first fluctuation display section. Timing 2 shows the timing when the variation display started at timing 1 ends, the combination of jackpot symbols is derived and displayed as a variation display result, and a jackpot gaming state occurs. Timing 3 shows the timing when the big hit gaming state started at timing 2 ends. Timing 4 is one of the probability variation end conditions for ending the probability variation state, and a variable display that generates a big hit gaming state (also referred to as a non-probability variable big hit) when the final display result is a combination of non-probability variable big hit symbols is started. The timing is shown. Timing 5 shows the timing when the big hit gaming state occurs when the variable display started at timing 4 ends and the final display result becomes the uncertain variable big hit symbol. Timing 6 shows the timing when the big hit gaming state started at timing 5 ends. Timing 7 shows the timing when the variable display is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after timing 5.

  Before timing 1, since the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag, which will be described later, are not set and the probability variation control mode is not set, the jackpot determination described later is performed based on the normal jackpot occurrence probability, and the non-description described with reference to FIG. A variation pattern is determined using the shortened variation pattern data table. It should be noted that, for the fluctuation display being executed in the second fluctuation display section at timing 1, the jackpot determination described later is similarly performed based on the normal jackpot occurrence probability, and the non-shortened fluctuation pattern described with reference to FIG. A variation pattern is determined using the data table.

  For the fluctuation display started from timing 1 to timing 4, the big hit determination is performed in the probability variation state by being controlled to the probability variation control mode. Since the variation display started from timing 1 to timing 4 is in the probability variation control mode, the variation pattern is determined using the shortened variation pattern data table described with reference to FIG. In addition, with respect to the fluctuation display started from timing 4 to timing 7, the fluctuation pattern is determined using the shortened fluctuation pattern data table described with reference to FIG. The

  In the present embodiment, the probability variation flag is set and the time reduction flag is set at timing 1 when the variation display is started when the final display result is a combination of the probability variation big hit symbol in the first variation display unit. (See FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B). As a result, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the probability variation state and is controlled to the probability variation control mode, which is controlled to the time reduction state. Data of various flags used in the game control microcomputer 53 such as a probability change flag and a time reduction flag are stored in the RAM 55 and updated.

  The probability variation state is the first probability variation termination condition that the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the variation display is executed after the timing 1 without the display result of the combination of jackpot symbols being derived and displayed, or A second variable display is started that generates a big hit gaming state when the final display result is a combination of uncertain variable big hit symbols until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of variable display is executed after timing 1. Continue until the probability variation end condition is met. In FIG. 7, as shown in the timing 4, the second probability change end condition is established by starting the variable display that generates the big hit gaming state when the final display result is a combination of the non-probable big hit symbols, A case where the probability variation flag is reset when the variation display is started is shown. On the other hand, when the first probability variation end condition is satisfied, the variation display of the predetermined number of times (for example, 100th) when the display result of the combination of jackpot symbols is not derived and displayed in the probability variation state is started. The probability variation flag is reset. As described above, the probability variation flag establishes the first probability variation end condition or the second probability variation end condition when the first probability variation end condition or the second probability variation end condition is satisfied in the probability variation state. It is reset at the start of variable display. In this case, as the time reduction flag, the set state is stored as it is. After the probability variation flag is reset in this way, the control state is set to the time-shortening control mode in which the probability variation flag is reset and the time-shortening flag is set.

  The short-time state in the short-time control mode indicates that the first short-time end condition that the change display is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the timing 4 for resetting the probability change flag is satisfied, or the change of the predetermined number of times. Until the display is executed, the process continues until a second short-time end condition is established in which a variable display that generates a big hit gaming state when the final display result is a combination of uncertain variable big hit symbols is started. FIG. 7 shows a case where the variation display started at timing 7 is the variation display of a predetermined number of times (for example, 100th) after timing 4. When the variable display is started at the timing 7, the first time reduction end condition is satisfied, and when the variable display is started, the time reduction flag is reset. As a result, the control state in the time-saving control mode ends. In this manner, the time reduction flag is reset at the start of the variable display that establishes the first time reduction end condition when the first time reduction end condition is satisfied in the time reduction state.

  Next, the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit in the case where the short-time control mode after the end of the probability variation control mode ends due to occurrence of a non-probability variation big hit before reaching a predetermined number of variation displays (for example, 100 times). The operation of the fluctuation display unit will be described. FIG. 8 is a timing chart for explaining the operation of the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit in the probability variation state and the short time state. In FIG. 8, (a) to (e) show control states for the same items as in (a) to (e) of FIG.

  In the case of FIG. 8, timings 1 to 6 are in the same control state as in FIG. Timing 7 is a stage before the number of variable displays after timing 4 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100), and the final display result which is one of the short-time end conditions for terminating the state of short-time control mode is indeterminate. The timing when the variable display when the combination of big hit symbols is started is shown. Timing 8 shows the timing when the variation display started at timing 7 ends, the combination of jackpot symbols is derived and displayed as a variation display result, and a jackpot gaming state occurs. Timing 9 shows the timing when the big hit gaming state started at timing 8 ends. By starting the variable display when the final display result is a combination of uncertain change big hit symbols at timing 7, the second time reduction end condition is satisfied, and when the variable display is started, the time reduction flag is reset. The As a result, the control state in the time-saving control mode ends. In this manner, the time reduction flag is reset at the start of the variable display that establishes the second time reduction end condition when the second time reduction end condition is satisfied in the time reduction state.

  The relationship between the probability variation state and the short time state is as follows in the present embodiment. When the probability variation big hit is reached, the probability variation control mode including the probability variation state and the time reduction state is controlled. The probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are state data indicating a gaming state, and are set when a variation display that becomes a probability variation big hit is started (see timing 1). The probability variation flag is a variable display for which the second probability variation end condition is satisfied if the second probability variation end condition (non-probability large hit) is satisfied before the first probability variation end condition (predetermined number of variations display) is satisfied. It is reset at the start (timing 4). The probability variation flag is reset when the first probability variation end condition (predetermined number of times of variation display) is satisfied, at the start of the variation display where the first probability variation end condition is satisfied. When the probability variation flag is reset as described above, the time-shortening control mode including the time-shortening state without including the probability variation state is controlled. The time-short flag is met after the first probability variation end condition (predetermined number of fluctuation display) or the second probability variation end condition (non-probability variation big hit) is satisfied, and then the first time-short end condition (predetermined number of fluctuation display) is satisfied. If the second short-time end condition (non-probable variation big hit) is satisfied by the time, it is reset at the start of variable display where the second short-time end condition is satisfied (timing 7 in FIG. 8). In addition, when the first short-time end condition (predetermined number of times of fluctuation display) is satisfied, the probability variation flag is reset at the start of variable display where the first short-time end condition is satisfied (timing 7 in FIG. 7). The probability variation control mode in the present embodiment refers to a state in which the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are set and the probability variation state and the time reduction state are controlled. The time reduction control mode refers to a state in which the probability variation flag is reset and the time reduction flag is set, and control is performed only in the time reduction state.

  In the fluctuation display started after timing 7, since the probability variation flag and the hourly flag are not set, the big hit determination described later is performed based on the normal big hit occurrence probability, and the non-shortening fluctuation described with reference to FIG. The variation pattern is determined using the pattern data table.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a game control main process and a timer interrupt process executed by the game control microcomputer 53. In FIG. 9, (a) shows a game control main process, and (b) shows a timer interrupt process. This timer interruption process is executed once every 2 msec, for example.

  In the game control main process shown in (a), an initialization process for initializing the built-in device register and the like is first performed in step S (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 1, and a random number for updating the random counter in S2. Update processing is performed. In the random number update process in S2, the values of R3 to R6 and R8 to R10 described above are updated. In the present embodiment, the process of S2 is repeatedly performed during the remaining interrupt waiting process time after the interrupt process is executed every 2 msec until the next interrupt process is executed.

  In the timer interrupt process shown in (b), first, a power-off process (S11) is performed in which it is confirmed whether a power-off signal is output from the power supply board and a predetermined backup operation is performed as necessary. Then, the game control process which is the interruption process of S12-S25 is performed.

  In the game control process, first, the first gate switch 61, the first start port switch 62, the first count switch 63, the first V winning switch 64, the second gate switch 66, the second start port switch are connected via the switch circuit 32. 67, detection signals of various switches such as the second count switch 68 and the second V winning switch 69 are input, and a switch process for determining the state thereof is performed (S12).

  Then, the first special symbol process is performed (S13). In the first special symbol process, a corresponding process is selected according to the first special symbol process flag for controlling the first special symbol display 8, the first special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the first special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Next, in S14, a random number update process for updating the value of the random counter is performed. The random number update process in S14 is a process for updating each of R1 to R10 described above.

  Next, the second special symbol process is performed (S15). In the second special symbol process, an appropriate process is selected according to the second special symbol process flag for controlling the second special symbol display 9, the second special variable winning device 22 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the second special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Also, the first normal symbol process is performed (S16). In the first normal symbol process, a corresponding process is selected and executed according to a first normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the first normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the first normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. Next, the second normal symbol process is performed (S17). In the second ordinary symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the second ordinary symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the second ordinary symbol display 13 in a predetermined order. The value of the second normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. The display control of the first normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the first variable winning device 15 are executed by executing the first normal symbol process, and the second normal symbol process is executed by executing the second normal symbol process. Display control of the display 13 and opening / closing control of the second variable winning device 17 are executed.

  Next, an effect control command related to the first decorative symbol variably displayed on the first decorative variable display unit 8k and the second decorative symbol variably displayed on the second decorative variable display unit 9k is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55. A decorative design command control process for sending a control command is performed (S18). Further, for example, information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer is performed (S19).

  The first start port switch 62, the first count switch 63, the first V winning switch 64, the second starting port switch 67, the second count switch 68, the second V winning switch 69, etc. Prize ball processing for setting the number of prize balls based on the detection signal is executed (S20). Specifically, one of the first start port switch 62, the first count switch 63, the first V winning switch 64, the second starting port switch 67, the second count switch 68, the second V winning switch 69, etc. is turned on. In response to the winning detection based on, a winning ball control signal indicating the number of winning balls is output to the payout control board 36. The payout control microcomputer mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with a prize ball control signal indicating the number of prize balls.

  Then, a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the number of reserved storage is executed (S21). Further, a test terminal process, which is a process of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (S22). Further, a solenoid output process (S23) is executed for instructing the solenoid circuit 33 to drive the various solenoids when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The first variable winning device 15, the first special variable winning device 20, the second variable winning device 17, and the second special variable winning device 22 are opened or closed, or the first grand prize port 21 and the second grand prize port The solenoid circuit 33 drives the solenoids 71 to 76 in response to the drive command in order to switch the game ball passage in the 23.

  Next, a special symbol display control process is performed (S24). In the special symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 is performed. Further, a normal symbol display control process is performed (S25). In the normal symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the first normal symbol display 12 and the second normal symbol display 13 is performed. Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S26).

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 2 msec. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the timer interrupt process. However, in the timer interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred is set, and the game control process is performed by the main process. May be executed.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol variation display is executed by the two displays of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9, and the first ornament variation display unit 8k and the second ornament variation display. The variable display of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is executed by the two variable display units with the unit 9k. And control which transfers to a big hit game state is performed when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed by any one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9. As described above, in a gaming machine that includes a plurality of variation display units and displays the variation of the special symbol in each variation display unit, there is a possibility that a big hit gaming state may occur at the same time. For this reason, in this embodiment, control is performed so that the big hit gaming state does not occur at the same time in the two variation display units. Hereinafter, display control in the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit including these controls will be mainly described. In the following description, processing for mainly controlling the first special symbol display 8 and the first decoration variation display unit 8k will be described. However, the second special symbol display unit 9 and the second decoration variation display unit 9k will be described. The same control is executed for the process to be controlled.

  Next, processing contents of the first special symbol process (S13) and the second special symbol process (S15) will be described. The processing contents of the first special symbol process and the second special symbol process are such that the first special symbol process is targeted for the first variation display unit (the first special symbol display 8 and the first decoration variation display unit 8k). The process is different and the second special symbol process is performed on the second variation display unit (the second special symbol display unit 9 and the second decoration variation display unit 9k). The processing content for controlling the display unit is the same. Therefore, here, the first special symbol process will be described as a representative example of these special symbol process, and the description of the processing contents of the second special symbol process will not be repeated. The processing content of the first special symbol process described below is the same as that of the first special symbol process, except that the processing target of the first variation display unit is replaced with the processing target of the second variation display unit. By replacing data such as various flags used in the symbol process with data such as various flags used in the second special symbol process, the processing contents of the second special symbol process are obtained.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a program of the first special symbol process (S13) executed by the game control microcomputer 53. In the first special symbol process, a process for controlling the first variation display unit is executed. The game control microcomputer 53 performs the following processing in the first special symbol process. First, if the first start port switch 62 is turned on, that is, if a start winning that causes the game ball to win the first start winning port 14 is generated (S131), a first start port switch passing process (S132) is performed. After that, any one of S140 to S147 is performed according to the internal state.

  In the first start port switch passing process, it is confirmed whether the number of numerical data stored in the first reserved storage buffer of RAM 55 (the number of stored storage) has reached the upper limit value, and stored in the first reserved storage buffer. If the number of stored numerical data does not reach the maximum value, the count value of the first reserved storage counter indicating the number of reserved memories is incremented by one. Then, the big hit determination random counter as the numerical data update means (for example, the function of the CPU 56 that updates (counts up) the numerical data (the numerical value of the big hit determination random counter, etc.)) A process of extracting the value of each numerical data (random number) such as a numerical value and storing them in a storage area corresponding to the extraction order of the first reserved storage buffer (corresponding to the value of the first reserved storage counter) is executed. . Conditions for extracting numerical data when the first start port switch 62 is turned on and the number of numerical data stored in the first reserved storage buffer (the number of stored storage) has not reached the upper limit value. Is established. The extraction of numerical data (random numbers) means that a random number is read from a counter for generating the numerical data (random number) and the read random number is used as the value of the numerical data (random number).

  First special symbol normal processing (S140): Wait until the first special symbol display 8 can start the variable display. When the variable display of the first special symbol display 8 can be started, the number of numerical data stored in the first reserved memory buffer (first reserved memory number) is confirmed. The number of numerical data stored in the first hold storage buffer can be confirmed by the count value of the first hold storage counter. If the count value of the first reserved storage counter is not 0, whether or not to make a big hit as a result of the variable display of the first special symbol display 8 (whether or not to make the first special figure specific display result) is determined. decide. In the case of a big hit, the first big hit flag is set. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S141.

  First special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141): The first special symbol after variation display using the extracted value of the random counter R3 for determining the jackpot symbol or the extracted value of the random counter R4 for determining the off symbol described above The stop symbol (big hit symbol or off symbol) of the symbol display 8 is determined. Further, when a big hit is made, a process for determining predetermined information related to the variation display of the decoration symbol in the first decoration variation display unit 8k is performed (decoration symbol information determination process), and the first decoration symbol to be derived and displayed is displayed. The first symbol information command for designating the information is set. The first symbol information command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S18 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S142.

  First variation pattern setting process (S142): Extracting the value of the random counter R5 for determining the variation pattern, and using the data table described with reference to FIG. By selecting and determining from the above, the variation pattern of the variation display of the variation display on the first special symbol display 8 is selected and determined.

  Further, based on the selected and determined variation pattern, the variation display time (time from the start of variation to the time when the display result is derived and displayed) for the variation display on the first special symbol display 8 is set to the first special symbol process timer. After setting, the first special symbol process timer is started. In addition, a drive signal for starting the variable display of the first special symbol is set. The drive signal set here is output in S24 of FIG. Also, a first variation pattern command, which is a command for commanding a variation pattern including information on the length of variation time of variation display of the first decorative symbol, is set. The first variation pattern command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S18 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S143.

  First special symbol variation process (S143): When the variation time in the variation pattern selected and determined in the first variation pattern setting processing elapses (the first special symbol process timer set in S142 times out), the first special symbol variation process The process flag is updated to shift to S144.

  1st special symbol stop process (S144): It controls so that the symbol variably displayed in each of the 1st special symbol indicator 8 and the 1st decoration fluctuation display part 8k may be stopped. Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the first special symbol is set. The drive signal set here is output in S24 of FIG. Then, a first symbol stop command for stopping the first decorative symbol is set. The first symbol stop command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S18 of FIG. If the first big hit flag is set, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S145. Otherwise, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S140.

  First big winning opening opening pre-processing (S145): Control for opening the first big winning opening 21 is started. The first special winning opening 21 is opened by driving the solenoid 72 to open the first special variable winning device 20. In addition, the execution time of the first special symbol opening process is set in the first special symbol process timer, and the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S146.

  Processing during opening of first big prize opening (S146): Control for sending presentation control command of round display during first big hit gaming state to display control board 80 and confirmation of establishment of closing condition of first big prize opening 21 Processing is performed. When the closing condition of the first big winning opening 21 is established, the presence or absence of passage of the first V winning switch 64 provided in the first big winning opening 21 is monitored to confirm that the continuation condition of the big hit gaming state is established. Perform processing. If the condition for continuing the big hit gaming state is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S145. Also, when the continuation condition of the big hit gaming state is not satisfied within a predetermined effective time, or when all rounds are finished, that is, when the first big hit gaming state ends, the above-mentioned ending display command is set. Is done. The first variation pattern command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S18 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S147.

  First jackpot end process (S147): As display control when the first jackpot gaming state is ended, control for causing the display control microcomputer 800 to perform the ending display as described above is performed. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S140.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol normal process (S140) in the first special symbol process. The game control microcomputer 53 performs the following processing in the first special symbol normal processing.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not the second big hit execution flag is set (S31). The second big hit running flag is displayed when the big special symbol (second special figure specific display result) is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 and the second big hit gaming state (specific gaming state) starts. It is set in the second special symbol variation process (not shown) in the symbol process (S15), and is reset in the second big hit end process (not shown) when the second big hit game state (specific game state) ends. The When the second big hit execution flag is set, the process returns.

  Next, on the other hand, when the second big hit execution flag is not set, the value of the first reserved storage counter is checked to determine whether or not the first reserved storage number is “0” (S32). The first special symbol normal process is executed when the special symbol variable display is not performed on the first special symbol display 8 and the game is not a big hit game. If the first reserved storage number is 0, the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the first reserved memory number is not 0, each random number (numerical data) stored in the first reserved memory buffer corresponding to the first reserved memory number = 1 in the first reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 is read. The value is stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55 (S33), the value of the first reserved memory number is decreased by 1 (the count value of the first reserved memory counter is decremented by 1), and the contents of each storage area are shifted (S34). ). That is, each random number stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 is set to the first reserved memory number = n−1. Store in the corresponding storage area. Therefore, the order in which the random numbers stored in the respective storage areas corresponding to the numbers of reserved memories are extracted always matches the order of the numbers of reserved memories = 1, 2, 3, and 4. . That is, in this example, the contents of each storage area are shifted each time the start condition of the variable display is satisfied, so that the order in which the random numbers are extracted can be specified.

  Next, a jackpot determination random number (R1 extracted data) is read from the random number buffer area (S35), and a jackpot determination process described later with reference to FIG. 12 is executed (S36). As a result of the big hit determination process, when it is determined that the first big hit game state is set (Y in S37), the first big hit flag is set (S38). On the other hand, when it is determined not to enter the first big hit gaming state (N in S37), the first big hit flag is not set. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141) (S39), and the process returns.

  By the above processing, when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 and the big hit gaming state occurs, the first special symbol display 8 is controlled not to start the special symbol variation display. That is, when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 and the big hit gaming state is generated, the second big hit running flag is set, and the second big hit big running flag is set until the big hit gaming state ends. Since it is not reset, N is selected in S31 in the first special symbol normal process (S140) until the big hit gaming state based on the fact that the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9, and S32 to S39. Is not executed.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the big hit determination process (S36) in the first special symbol normal process and the second special symbol normal process. In the big hit determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set (S361). Here, the probability variation flag is a flag indicating the probability variation state, and is a flag set in the probability variation control mode. When the probability change flag is set, a plurality of values “7, 17, 41, 57, 107” predetermined as probability change big hit determination values are set in the big hit determination value A used for the big hit determination (S362). When the probability variation flag is not set, one value “7” predetermined as a non-probability variation big hit determination value is set as the big hit determination value A used for the big hit determination (S363). Then, the jackpot determination random number read in S33 of the first special symbol normal process or the corresponding process in the second special symbol normal process is compared with the jackpot determination value A to determine whether or not to determine the jackpot (S364). Then, the big hit determination process is terminated. Specifically, in S364, the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value A are determined to be a big hit, and when these do not match, the big hit determination is determined to be a loss.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141) in the first special symbol process. In the first special symbol stop symbol setting process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following processing.

  First, it is determined whether or not the first big hit flag is set (S41). When the first big hit flag is not set, a random number is extracted from R4, and the off symbol of the first special symbol is determined based on the extracted value (S47). That is, based on the random number extracted from R4, a first special symbol derived and displayed as a display result from “0” or an even symbol is determined. Then, the process proceeds to S48.

  On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is set, it is extracted from R2 at the time of starting winning, and the probability change determination is made based on the extracted value of R2 read in S33 (S42). Then, it is determined whether or not it is determined to be a probable big hit in the determination of S42 (S43). When it is determined that the probability variation jackpot is set, the first probability variation jackpot flag is set (S44), and the process proceeds to S45. Here, the first probability variation jackpot flag is a flag indicating that it has been determined that the variation display performed on the first variation display unit side is the probability variation jackpot. On the other hand, when it is determined that the probability variation big hit is not made, the process proceeds to S45 as it is.

  In S45, a random number is extracted from R3, and the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined based on the extracted value. That is, based on the lottery value of R3, the symbol to be derived and displayed as the display result of the first special symbol is determined as any odd symbol.

  Next, a decorative symbol information determination process that is a process of determining predetermined information related to the variable display of the first decorative symbol is executed (S46), and the process proceeds to S48. In this decorative symbol information determination process, for example, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is performed, and when the secondary re-lottery display is performed, the first-side secondary re-lottery flag is set. Details of the decorative symbol information determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In S48, processing for selecting a symbol information command to be transmitted is performed. Specifically, when the off symbol is determined in S47, that is, when the first big hit flag is not set, the above-mentioned first side deviation designation command is selected as the first symbol information command. On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is set, the first symbol information command is selected as follows. When the above-mentioned first certainty big hit flag is not set, the first side normal big hit designation command is selected. In addition, when the first probability variation big hit flag is set and the first side secondary re-lottery flag is not set, the first side probability variation big hit designation command is selected. In addition, when the first probability variable big hit flag is set and the first side secondary lottery flag is set, the first side command variable big hit designation secondary re-lottery designation command is selected.

  Next, a setting (command set) for transmitting the symbol information command selected in S48 is performed (S49). When the symbol information command is set in this way, the first symbol information command is output in S18 of FIG. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first variation pattern setting process (S142) (S50), and the process returns.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the decorative symbol information determination process (S46) in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process. In the decorative symbol information determination process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, by determining whether or not the first probability variation jackpot flag is set, it is determined whether or not the variation display on the first variation display unit side has been determined to be a probability variation jackpot (S51). When it is determined that the probability variation big hit has not been determined, the process proceeds to S54 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the decision is made that the probability variation big hit is, numerical data is extracted from R10, and it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is performed based on the extracted value (S52). When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined to display the secondary re-lottery, the process proceeds to S54 described later.

  In S54, the first side secondary re-lottery flag which is a flag indicating that the secondary re-lottery display based on the variation display on the first variation display unit side is set, and then the process returns. When the process proceeds from S51 to S54, since it is determined that it will be a non-probable big hit, the secondary re-lottery display must be performed as described above, so the first-side secondary re-lottery flag Is set. Further, when the process proceeds from S53 to S54, since it is necessary to perform the secondary re-lottery display based on the determination result in S53, the first side secondary re-lottery flag is set.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the first variation pattern setting process (S142) in the first special symbol process. The game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process in the first variation pattern setting process.

  First, by determining whether or not the first big hit flag is set, it is determined whether or not the big display is determined for the variable display on the first fluctuation display unit side (S61). When it is determined that the big hit is not determined, the process proceeds to S65 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the big hit is determined, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S62). Here, the time reduction flag is a flag indicating a state in which the shortened variation pattern is selected as the variation pattern, and is a flag that is set in both the control state of the probability variation control mode and the time reduction control mode.

  When it is determined that the time reduction flag is not set, it is a normal gaming state that is not controlled in either the probability variation control mode or the time reduction control mode, so it is not shortened as a data table used to determine the variation pattern The big hit determination time data table is selected from the variation pattern data table (S63), and the process proceeds to S69. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time reduction flag is set, the game state is either the probability variation control mode or the time reduction control mode, and therefore a shortened variation pattern data table is used as a data table for determining the variation pattern. The big hit determination time data table is selected (S64), and the process proceeds to S69.

  Further, when the process proceeds to S65, since it is determined that the fluctuation display result is out of the range, a random number is extracted from R6, and reach determination is performed based on the extracted value (S65). The reach determination result in this case is stored as data such as a reach flag. Then, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S66).

  When it is determined that the time reduction flag is not set, it is a normal gaming state that is not controlled in either the probability variation control mode or the time reduction control mode, so the data table used to determine the variation pattern is not shortened. Of the variation pattern data table, either the non-reach deviation determination data table or the reach deviation determination data table is selected (S67), and the process proceeds to S69. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time reduction flag is set, the game state is either the probability variation control mode or the time reduction control mode, so a shortened variation pattern data table is used as a data table for determining the variation pattern. Among these, either the non-reach deviation determination data table or the reach deviation determination data table is selected (S68), and the process proceeds to S69. In each of S67 and S68, when it is determined not to reach in S65, the non-reach shift determination data table is selected, and when it is determined to reach, the reach shift determination data table is determined. Selected.

  In S69, a random number is extracted from R5, and a variation pattern is selected using the variation pattern table selected in S63, S64, S67, and S68 based on the extracted value. In S69, when the variation pattern is selected, the presence / absence of the primary re-lottery display is selected and determined at the same time as described above. Then, a special game process is performed as a process for managing the special game state including the probability variation control mode and the short time control mode (S70). The contents of the special game process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the first special symbol display 8 performs a process for starting the variable display of the first special symbol (S71). Specifically, a driving signal for starting the variable display of the first special symbol is set on the first special symbol display 8, and the driving signal is output in S24 of FIG. Then, a setting (command set) for transmitting the first variation pattern command corresponding to the variation pattern selected in S69 is performed (S72). When the variation pattern command is set in this way, the first variation pattern command is output in S18 of FIG. Then, based on the selected and determined variation pattern, after the variation display time is set in the first special symbol process timer in the first special symbol display 8, the first special symbol process timer is started (S73). The first special symbol process timer is a timer used for managing the variable display time. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol variation process (S143) (S74), and the process returns.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the special game process (S70). In the special game process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, by determining whether or not the first jackpot flag has been set, it is determined whether or not it has been determined that the variation display on the first variation display unit side is a jackpot (S701). When it is determined that the big hit has not been determined, the process proceeds to S710 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the big hit is determined, it is determined whether or not the variation display on the first variation display unit side is the positive variation big hit by determining whether or not the first certain variation big hit flag is set. It is determined whether or not (S702). When it is determined that the probability change big hit is determined, the probability change flag is set (S703) and the time reduction flag is set (S704). Thus, both the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are set when the probability variation control mode is controlled. Then return.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the probability variation big hit has not been determined, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set (S705). When the probability variation flag is set, in the probability variation control mode, the probability variation flag is reset (S706). When a non-probability variation hit occurs in the probability variation control mode, the probability variation control mode is terminated and the probability variation flag is reset. Control is performed in a state where only the time reduction flag is set, that is, the time reduction control mode. Then, the data of the number of fluctuations at the time of probability variation as the number of times of variation display counted in the probability variation control mode is initialized (S707), and the process returns. Here, the number of fluctuations at the time of probability variation is one that is incremented every time the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is started in the probability variation state, that is, the probability variation control mode, It is stored in the storage area of the RAM 55. The number of times of change at the time of probability change is commonly used in each of the special game processes of the first change pattern setting process and the second change pattern setting process.

  On the other hand, when the probability variation flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S708). When the time reduction flag is set, that is, in the time reduction control mode, the time reduction flag is reset (S709). As a result, when a non-probability variation big hit occurs in the probability variation control mode, the time-shortening control mode is terminated, and the state where the probability variation flag and the time-shortening flag are reset, that is, the normal gaming state is controlled. Then, the data of the short-time fluctuation count as the fluctuation display count counted in the probability variation control mode is initialized (S709a), and the process returns. Here, the number of short-time fluctuations is added every time the first special symbol or the second special symbol starts to be displayed in the short-time control mode, and is added to the storage area of the RAM 55. Remembered. The number of times of change at the time of probability change is commonly used in each of the special game processes of the first change pattern setting process and the second change pattern setting process. On the other hand, when the time reduction flag is not set, that is, when neither the probability variation control mode nor the time reduction control mode is set, the process returns.

  If it is determined in S701 that the big hit has not been determined and the process proceeds to S710, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set. That is, it is determined whether or not the mode is the probability variation control mode. When the probability variation flag is not set, the process proceeds to S715 described later.

  On the other hand, when the probability variation flag is set, 1 is added to the number of variations at the time of probability variation (S711). Then, it is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations at the time of probability change has reached the preset number of times of probability change (100 times) (S712). In S712, the data of the probability variation end count is read from the ROM 54, the probability variation end count is set, and used for determination. If not, return. On the other hand, if it has reached, the probability variation flag is reset (S713), the number of variations at probability variation is initialized (S714), and the process returns. As described above, in the probability variation control mode according to the present embodiment, each time the variation display of the first special symbol and the variation display of the second special symbol are started, the number of variation times during probability variation is incremented by one in S711. Is done. Then, if it is determined in S712 that the number of times of variation at the time of probability variation has reached the number of times of end of probability variation, the probability variation control mode is terminated by resetting the probability variation flag in S713.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S710 that the probability variation flag is not set and the process proceeds to S715, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set. Here, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set and the time reduction flag is set, that is, whether or not the time reduction control mode is set. If the time flag is not set, return.

  On the other hand, when the time reduction flag is set, since the time reduction control mode is set, 1 is added to the number of changes in time reduction (S716). Then, it is determined whether or not the short-time variation number has reached a preset short-time end number (100 times) (S717). In S717, the data of the number of time reduction ends is read from the ROM 54, and the number of time reduction end times is set and used for determination. Return if not reached. On the other hand, if it has reached, the time reduction flag is reset (S718), the number of changes in time reduction is initialized (S719), and the process returns. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the time reduction control mode, the number of changes in the time reduction in time is set to 1 each time in S716 every time the change display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is started after the probability variation flag is reset. If it is determined that the number of time reduction fluctuations has reached the number of time reduction ends in S717, the process ends by resetting the time reduction flag in S719.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the probability variation big hit occurs, the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are set, and the probability variation control mode is controlled. Further, when a non-probability change big hit occurs during the probability change state in the probability change control mode, the probability change flag is reset and the probability change state ends, whereby the probability change control mode ends. In addition, when an uncertain change big hit occurs during the time reduction state in the time reduction control mode, the time reduction flag is reset, and the time reduction state ends, whereby the time reduction control mode ends.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol variation process (S143) in the first special symbol process. In the first special symbol variation process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not the second big hit flag is set (S80). If the second jackpot flag is not set, the first special symbol process timer is decremented by 1 (S81), and if the first special symbol process timer times out (S82), whether or not the first jackpot flag is set. (S83). If the first big hit flag is set (S83), the first big hit execution flag is set (S84), and the value of the first special symbol process flag is set to a value corresponding to the first special symbol stop process (S144). Update (S85). If the first special symbol process timer has not timed out in S82, the value of the first special symbol process flag is not updated. That is, when the first special symbol process is executed again, the first special symbol variation process is performed again. Further, when the first big hit execution flag is set in S84, the second special symbol process (S15) is executed to interrupt the special symbol variation display on the second special symbol display 9.

  If the second big hit flag is set in S80, it is confirmed whether the first interruption flag is set (S86). If the first interruption flag is not set (S86), it is checked whether or not the second big hit execution flag is set (S87). If the second big hit execution flag is not set, the aforementioned S81 is executed. Proceed to On the other hand, if the second big hit execution flag is set, the first interruption flag is set (S88). And the process for interrupting the variable display of a 1st special symbol is performed (S88a). Specifically, a drive signal for interrupting the variable display of the first special symbol that is performing the variable display on the first special symbol display 8 is set, and the drive signal is the special symbol display control process (S24) of FIG. Is output. Further, the address of the command transmission table corresponding to the first interruption command is set in the pointer (S89), and the process returns. The first interruption command is a command for instructing to interrupt the variable display of the first decorative symbol that is performing the variable display in the first decorative variable display portion 8k. Further, the first interruption command set in S89 is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control processing (S18) of FIG. That is, if it is determined in S87 that the second big hit execution flag is set, the process of S81 is not executed, so the first special symbol process timer is not subtracted, the first interruption flag is set, and the first interruption command is set. Is transmitted to the display control board 80. When the display control microcomputer 800 mounted on the display control board 80 receives the first interruption command, the display control microcomputer 800 executes control for interrupting the variable display of the first decorative symbol in the first decorative variable display unit 8k.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the second special symbol display 8 performs the second special symbol display when the first special symbol variable display is being executed (when the first special symbol process timer has not timed out). When the big hit execution flag is set, the subtraction of the first special symbol process timer for measuring the variation time is interrupted, and a command for instructing the display control board 80 to interrupt the variation display of the first ornament symbol is transmitted. From the occurrence of the big hit gaming state (specific gaming state) based on the fact that the big hit symbol (second special figure specific display result) is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 until the big hit gaming state is ended Performs processing for interrupting the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 8 and the first ornament variation display on the first ornament variation display section 8k.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol stop process (S144) in the first special symbol process. In the first special symbol stop process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, a process for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol is performed (S90). Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the fluctuation display of the first special symbol that is performing the fluctuation display on the first special symbol display 8 is set, and the drive signal is the special symbol display control process (S24) of FIG. Is output. Thereby, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed at the stop symbol determined as described above. Further, the address of the command transmission table corresponding to the first symbol stop command is set in the pointer (S91). The first symbol stop command is a command for instructing to stop the variation display of the first ornament symbol on the first ornament variation display portion 8k. The first symbol stop command set in S91 is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control process (S18) of FIG. When the display control microcomputer 800 receives the first symbol stop command, the display control microcomputer 800 executes control for deriving and displaying the display result by stopping the variation display of the first ornament symbol on the first ornament variation display unit 8k.

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the first big hit flag is set (S92). If the first big hit flag is set in S92, that is, if the first big hit flag is set in step S37 in the first special symbol normal process (S140), the first big hit is started. Is set in the pointer of the command transmission table corresponding to the first big hit start command indicating (S93). The first jackpot start command set in S93 is transmitted to the display control board 80 by the decorative symbol command control process (S18) of FIG. When the display control microcomputer 800 receives the first jackpot start command, the display control microcomputer 800 performs display control for starting the jackpot gaming state on the first decoration variation display unit 8k. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big prize opening opening pre-processing (S145) (S94), and the process returns.

  When it is determined in S92 that the first big hit flag is not set, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol normal process (S140) (S95). Return.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the first special prize opening opening process (S146) in the first special symbol process. In the first grand prize opening opening process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, based on the fact that the continuation condition for the big hit gaming state was not satisfied during the round before the final round in the big hit gaming state, or the final round in the big hit gaming state ended, It is determined whether or not it is an end time (S101). If it is determined that it is not at the end of the big hit game state, for example, a big hit game process, which is a process to be performed during the big hit game state, such as opening control of the big prize opening is executed (S102), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the end of the big hit gaming state, a setting (command set) for transmitting an ending display command for specifying the contents of the ending display performed at the end of the first big hit gaming state is performed ( S103). Specifically, when the first side secondary re-lottery flag is set and the first probability variation big hit flag is set, a setting for transmitting a display designation command with completion after the first side second re-lottery do. Further, when the first side secondary re-lottery flag is set and the first probability big hit flag is not set, a setting is made to transmit a no-rise display designation command after the first side secondary lottery. . Further, when the first side secondary re-lottery flag is not set, a setting for transmitting a big hit normal end command is made.

  Next, based on determining whether or not the first side secondary re-lottery flag is set, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is performed (S104). When the secondary re-lottery display is performed, the big hit ends by setting a predetermined time when the secondary re-lottery display is performed to the jackpot end timer which is a timer for managing the jackpot end display as the ending display The timer is started (S105), and the big hit end display performed in response to the secondary re-lottery display is started (S106). On the other hand, when the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, the big hit end timer is started by setting a predetermined time when the big hit normal end display is performed to the big hit end timer (S107), and the big hit end normal display is displayed. The corresponding jackpot end display is started (S108). Here, the time set in the big hit end timer when performing the secondary re-lottery display is set to be longer than the time set in the big hit end timer when performing the big hit normal end display. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit end process (S147) (S109), and the process returns.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the first big hit end process (S147) in the first special symbol process. In the first jackpot ending process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, the jackpot end timer is updated (S111), and it is determined whether the jackpot end timer is up (S112). If the time is not up, return. On the other hand, when the time is up, the first big hit execution flag is reset (S113). A process of starting the variation of the special symbol in the second special symbol display 9 by executing the second special symbol normal process in the second special symbol process (S15) by resetting the first big hit execution flag in S113. Then, the second special symbol variation process is executed, and a special symbol process timer subtraction process for measuring the variation time of the special symbol is enabled.

  Then, the second interruption flag set in the second special symbol variation process in the second special symbol process (S15) is reset (S114), and the first big hit flag is reset (S115). Then, in the second special symbol variation process in which the same processing as the first special symbol variation process of FIG. 17 is performed, the second special symbol variation display suspended as described above due to the occurrence of the first big hit is resumed. (S116). Specifically, a drive signal for restarting the variable display of the second special symbol that is performing the variable display on the second special symbol display 9 is set, and the drive signal is the special symbol display control process (S24) of FIG. Is output.

  Further, the address of the command transmission table corresponding to the second restart command is set in the pointer (S117). Here, the second restart command is a command for instructing the restart of the variable display of the second decorative symbol suspended in the second decorative variable display unit 9k. The reason why the second restart command is transmitted is to restart the variable display on the first variable display unit side interrupted by the big hit gaming state generated on the first variable display unit side. Further, the second restart command set in S117 is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control process (S18) of FIG. When the display control microcomputer 800 receives the restart command, the display control microcomputer 800 performs control to restart the variable display of the second decorative symbol in the second decorative variable display unit 9k. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol normal process (S140) (S118).

  Next, the operation of the display control microcomputer 800 will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the effect control main process executed by the display control microcomputer 800. In the effect control main process, first, an initialization process for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, initial setting of a timer for determining the start interval of effect control, and the like is performed (S201).

  When the initialization process ends, the display control microcomputer 800 monitors the timer interrupt flag (S202). When a timer interrupt occurs, the display control microcomputer 800 sets “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If “1” is set as the value of the timer interrupt flag in S202, the display control microcomputer 800 clears the value of the timer interrupt flag (S203), and executes the following effect control process.

  A timer interrupt occurs every 33 ms, for example. That is, the effect control process is activated every 33 ms, for example. Further, in the timer interrupt process in this embodiment, only the process of setting “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag is performed, and the specific effect control process is executed in the main process. The effect control process may be executed.

  In the effect control process, first, a timer interruption flag is cleared, and a power-off process for monitoring whether or not a power-off signal is output is executed (S204). Next, command analysis processing for analyzing the received effect control command is executed (S205). Next, a first effect control process is performed (S206). The contents of the first effect control process will be described later with reference to FIG. In the first effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (first effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and the display control of the first decoration variation display unit 8k is included. Perform production control. Next, a second effect control process is performed (S207). In the second effect control process, a process corresponding to the current control state (second effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and the display control of the second decoration variation display unit 9k is included. Perform production control.

  Next, a random number update process for updating a predetermined random counter is executed (S208). In the random number update process, for example, various random counters such as random counters RU-1 to RU3 used for determining a combination of decorative symbols to be derived and displayed as a variation display result are updated. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of checking the timer interrupt flag in S202. An INT signal for display control from the main board 31 is input to an interrupt terminal of the microcomputer 800 for display control. For example, when the INT signal from the main board 31 is turned on, an INT interrupt is generated in the display control microcomputer 800. Then, the display control microcomputer 800 executes an effect control command reception process in the interrupt process. In the effect control command reception process, the display control microcomputer 800 stores the received effect control command data in a command reception buffer provided in the RAM.

  Next, command analysis processing in S205 of FIG. 21 will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing command analysis processing. In the command analysis process, it is determined whether or not there is a reception command in the command reception buffer (S211). If there is no reception command, the process returns. On the other hand, when there is a reception command, the reception command is read (S212). The command data read here is erased in the command reception buffer. Then, it is determined whether or not the read reception command is the symbol information command described above (S213). If it is a symbol information command, the symbol information data indicated by the symbol information command is stored in the symbol information storage area provided in the RAM (S214). Then, in response to the received command, a symbol information reception flag that is a reception flag that can identify the received command is set (S215), and the process returns to S211.

  Further, it is determined whether or not the received reception command is the above-described variation pattern command (S216). If it is a variation pattern command, the variation pattern data indicated by the variation pattern command is stored in a variation pattern data storage area provided in the RAM (S217). Then, in response to the received command, a variation pattern reception flag that is a reception flag that can identify the received command is set (S218). For each of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, the combination of the off symbol, the combination of the temporary stop symbol before the first re-lottery display, the combination of the big hit symbol as the variation display result before the big hit game, and 2 A symbol determination process for determining a combination of jackpot symbols as a display result of the next re-lottery display is performed (S219). The contents of the symbol determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the symbol data determined in the symbol determination process is stored in the determined symbol data storage area provided in the RAM (S220), and the process returns to S211.

  Further, it is determined whether or not the read reception command is the above-mentioned ending display command (S221). If it is an ending display command, data indicating the type of ending display indicated by the ending display command is stored in an ending display data storage area provided in the RAM (S222). Then, in response to the received command, an ending display reception flag that is a reception flag that can identify the received command is set (S223), and the process returns to S211.

  Further, when it is determined in S221 that the received command is not an ending display command (when the received command is other command than the above-described command), it is determined what other received command is and corresponds to the received command. The received command reception flag is set (S224), and the process returns to S211. That is, S224 collectively shows processing corresponding to reception of various commands other than the symbol information command, the variation pattern command, and the ending display command described above.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the symbol determination process (S219) in the command analysis process. In the symbol determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the display result of the variable display performed according to the received effect control command is to be a combination of jackpot symbols (S231). Specifically, when receiving a miss designation command such as a first side miss designation command as a symbol information command, it is determined that the combination is not a jackpot symbol combination and a jackpot designation command such as a first side normal jackpot designation command is determined. When it is received, it is determined that it is a combination of jackpot symbols. When the combination of symbols is not a big hit symbol, as the final display result of the variable display, the symbol combination is determined randomly (S232), and the process returns. In S232, the combination of shift symbols is determined as follows.

  First, the values of RU-1 to RU-3 are extracted. When a variation pattern command for specifying a variation pattern that is out of reach such as reach A variation pattern no primary re-lottery is received as a variation pattern command, the relationship between the value of RU-1 and the reach pattern is preliminarily determined. Using the determined reach symbol determination data table, the corresponding reach symbol is selected from the extracted value of RU-1, and the combination of the reach symbol is determined as the combination of the left symbol and the right symbol (reach symbol). . Then, the middle symbol corresponding to the extracted value of RU-2 is selected using the middle symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the predetermined RU-2 and the middle symbol is predetermined. However, when the middle symbol corresponding to the extracted value of RU-2 matches the reach symbol, correction is performed to change the middle symbol so as not to match the reach symbol. Also, when a variation pattern command for specifying a variation pattern that is out of reach such as a normal variation pattern A without primary re-lottery is received as a variation pattern command, the value of RU-1 and the left symbol are Using the left symbol determination data table having a predetermined relationship, the above-described middle symbol determination data table, and the right symbol determination data table having a predetermined relationship between the value of RU-3 and the right symbol, Corresponding decorative symbols are selected from the extracted values of RU-1 to RU-3, and the combination of the decorative symbols is determined as the combination of decorative symbols. However, when the combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the extracted values of RU-1 to RU-3 matches, correction is performed to change the middle symbol so as not to match.

  Further, when the combination of jackpot symbols is determined by the determination in S231, it is determined whether or not the primary re-lottery display has been designated (S233). Specifically, in S233, it is determined whether or not the primary re-lottery display has been designated according to the information on the presence or absence of the primary re-lottery display indicated by the received variation pattern command. When it is determined that the primary re-lottery display is not designated, the process proceeds to S235 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the primary re-lottery display has been designated, a combination of non-probability variable big hit symbols is randomly determined as a temporary stop symbol to be displayed before the primary re-lottery (S234), and the process proceeds to S235 described later.

  In S234, the combination of non-probable variation big hit symbols is determined as follows. First, the value of RU-1 is extracted. Then, using the first non-probable variable big hit symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the value of RU-1 and the non-probable variable big hit symbol (0, even number of decorative symbols) is determined in advance, The corresponding non-probable variation jackpot symbol is selected, and the combination of the non-probability variation jackpot symbol is determined as the combination of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the final display result of the variable display is a combination of probability variation big hit symbols (S235). Specifically, in S235, when a symbol information command designating a probability variable jackpot is received, such as a probability variation jackpot designation command and a probability variation jackpot designation secondary re-lottery designation command, it is determined that the combination is a probability variation jackpot symbol combination. . When it is determined that the probability variation big hit symbol combination is used, the process proceeds to S236 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the combination of the probable big hit symbol is not used, the change display result before the big hit gaming state is displayed (in the case of the primary re-lottery display, the display result of the primary re-lottery display is displayed as the primary re-lottery display. If not, the combination of uncertain change big hit symbols is randomly determined as the display result of variation display (S240).

  Specifically, in S240, a combination of non-probable big hit symbols is determined as follows. First, the value of RU-2 is extracted. Then, from the extracted value of RU-2, using the second non-probable variable big hit symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the value of RU-2 and the non-probable variable big hit symbol (0, even number of decorative symbols) is predetermined. Then, the corresponding non-probable variation jackpot symbol is selected, and the combination of the non-probability variation jackpot symbol is determined as the combination of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol.

  When the variable display result is a combination of non-probable variation big hit symbols, it is necessary to always perform the secondary re-lottery as described above. (S241) and return. Specifically, in S241, a combination of non-probable big hit symbols is determined as follows. First, the value of RU-3 is extracted. Then, from the extracted value of RU-3 using the third non-probable variable big hit symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the value of RU-3 and the non-probable variable big hit symbol (0, even number of decorative symbols) is predetermined. Then, the corresponding non-probable variation jackpot symbol is selected, and the combination of the non-probability variation jackpot symbol is determined as the combination of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol.

  Further, when it is determined that the combination of probability variation big winning symbols is selected and the process proceeds to S236, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is designated. Specifically, in S236, it is determined whether or not to perform the secondary re-lottery display according to the information on the presence or absence of the secondary re-lottery display indicated by the received symbol information command. For example, it is determined that a secondary re-lottery display has been specified when a command with specified secondary re-lottery designation is received, and it is determined that a secondary re-lottery display has not been specified when a probable variable big hit specification command is received. .

  When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display has been designated, as in S240, a combination of non-probable variable big hit symbols is randomly determined as a fluctuation display result before entering the big hit gaming state (S237). Then, as the display result of the secondary re-lottery display, the probability variation big hit symbol combination is randomly determined (S238), and the process returns. In S238, the combination of probability variation jackpot symbols is determined as follows. First, the value of RU-3 is extracted. Then, using the data table for determining the probability variation jackpot symbol in which the relationship between the value of RU-3 and the probability variation jackpot symbol (odd decoration symbol) is predetermined, the corresponding probability variation jackpot symbol is selected from the extracted value of RU-3. Then, the combination of the probable big hit symbols is determined as the combination of the stop symbols of the decorative symbols.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display has not been specified, the variation display result before the big hit gaming state is reached (in this case, the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, so the final display result is obtained). A jackpot symbol combination is randomly determined (S239), and the process returns. Specifically, in S239, the combination of probability variation big hit symbols is determined by performing the same processing as in S238.

  Next, the first effect control process according to S206 in FIG. 21 and the second effect control process according to S207 in FIG. 21 will be described. The processing contents of the first effect control process and the second effect control process are as follows: the first effect control process is performed on the first decoration change display unit 8k, and the second effect control process is the second effect change. Although different in that the processing is performed on the display unit 9k, the processing contents for controlling the variable display unit to be processed are the same. For this reason, here, the first effect control process will be described as a representative example of these effects control process, and the description of the process details of the second effect control process will not be repeated. In addition, the processing content of the 1st effect control process demonstrated below is processing object called the 1st decoration fluctuation display part 8k and its related apparatus in the 1st effect control process process in the 2nd decoration fluctuation display part 9k and it. The second effect control process is performed by replacing the data such as various flags used in the first effect control process with the data of various flags used in the second effect control process. It becomes processing contents.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the first effect control process according to S206 of FIG. In the first effect control process, any one of S400 to S406 is executed according to the value of the first effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  First variation pattern command reception waiting process (S400): Whether or not the first variation pattern command has been received is confirmed, and when it is confirmed that the first variation pattern command has been received, the value of the first effect control process flag Is updated to a value corresponding to S401. The contents of the first variation pattern command reception waiting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  First symbol variation start processing (S401): In response to the first variation pattern command, the variation in the first ornament variation display section 8k is actually changed from a plurality of predetermined ornament variation patterns as shown in FIG. Determine the variation pattern used for display. Further, the variation time is set according to the determined variation pattern, and the variation of the first decorative symbol (left middle right symbol) in the first decorative variation display portion 8k is started. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S402. The contents of the first symbol variation start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  First symbol variation processing (S402): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed, etc.) constituting the variation pattern of the ornament symbol in the first ornament variation display section 8k, and ends the set variation time. To monitor. Then, when the set variation time is over, the left, right, and middle symbols of the first decorative symbol are temporarily stopped, and control is performed so as to change to a fluctuation variation state in which the symbol is swaying without confirming the display result. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S403. The contents of the first symbol variation processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  First symbol stop waiting process (S403): When the variation time designated by the first variation pattern command has elapsed and a command (first symbol stop command) for instructing all symbols of the first decorative symbol has been received, Control is performed to stop the variation of the first decorative symbol on the first decorative variation display portion 8k (stop the above-described fluctuation variation state) and display the stopped symbol. Thereafter, when the stop symbol of the first decoration symbol on the first decoration variation display unit 8k is a combination of the big hit symbol, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S404, and the first ornament variation When the stop symbol of the first decorative symbol on the display unit 8k is a combination of symbols that are out of sync, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S401.

  First jackpot display processing (S404): After the decoration symbol variation time in the first decoration variation display section 8k is over, a display for notifying that a big hit has been made is performed. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S405.

  First big hit game processing (S405): Control is performed to display the big hit game effect, which is a display for producing the big hit game. The big hit game during production includes a big hit game main production and a big hit game assist production. The big hit player main effect in the first big hit game process is the first big hit game state after the derivation display of the big hit symbol combination in the first ornament fluctuation display portion 8k which is the ornament fluctuation display portion of the corresponding one. This is a display for performing effects during the gaming state. In addition, the big hit game assisting effect in the first big hit game process is the big hit game state after the derivation display of the big hit symbol combination in the second decorative change display portion 9k which is the non-corresponding decorative change display portion. This is a display that performs an effect during the two-hit gaming state (performs an effect that assists the above-described main effect on the non-corresponding decoration variation display unit). For example, in the big hit player main production, the first special winning prize opening 21 indicating that the first special variable prize winning device 20 is driven by the solenoid 72 to open the first big winning prize opening 21, and the first big winning prize opening 21 is displayed. Is displayed such as the display of the number of rounds when receiving the effect control command for the display when the first big prize opening is opened, indicating that is open. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S406. The contents of the first big hit game processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  First jackpot game end processing (S406): Ending display is performed as an effect when the jackpot game state is ended. In the ending display, the big hit normal end display which is a display for ending the big hit gaming state without performing the secondary re-lottery display, and the secondary re-display which is a display for ending the big hit gaming state after performing the second re-lottery display. A lottery execution jackpot end display is included. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S401. The contents of the first big hit game ending process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the first variation pattern command reception waiting process in S400 of FIG. In the first variation pattern command reception waiting process, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  In the first variation pattern command reception waiting process, first, it is determined whether or not a second jackpot start command specifying the start of the second jackpot gaming state has been received (S251). In the first decoration variation display unit 8k and the second decoration variation display unit 9k, when a big hit gaming state occurs based on the fluctuation display of one of the fluctuation display units, both fluctuation display units are displayed in the big hit gaming state. In the big hit game production. For this reason, in S251, it is monitored whether or not it is time to start the second big hit gaming state.

  When it is determined that the second jackpot start command has been received, the process proceeds to S255 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second big hit start command has not been received, it is determined whether or not a reception flag that is set when the first fluctuation pattern command is received is set (S251). When it is determined that the reception flag is set, the reception flag is reset (S253). The value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first symbol variation start process (S401) (S254), and the process returns.

  If it is determined in S251 that the second big hit start command has been received and the process proceeds to S255, a first reception waiting flag is set. Here, the first reception waiting standby flag becomes a standby state in which the first variation pattern command reception waiting process is interrupted and waits for execution until the end of the big hit gaming state in response to receiving the second big hit start command. It is a flag indicating that Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first jackpot display process (S404) (S256), and the process returns. Therefore, the first variation pattern command reception waiting process is interrupted and enters a standby state, and the execution of the first jackpot display process is started. Thereby, the first big hit display process, the first big hit game process, and the first big hit game end process are sequentially executed, as shown in FIG. 30 for assisting the big hit game state effect in the second decoration variation display portion 9k. A big hit game assisting effect (see FIG. 30) is performed. In this way, in the decoration variation display part of the one where the big hit gaming state has not occurred, the big hit game auxiliary effect for assisting the presentation of the big hit gaming state in the decoration variation display part of the one where the big hit gaming state has occurred. It is done.

  As described above, when the second big hit game state is performed, the big ornament game main effect is displayed on the second ornament variation display portion 9k, and the big ornament game display effect is displayed on the first ornament variation display portion 8k. It is.

  Next, the first symbol variation start process in S401 of FIG. 24 will be described. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the first symbol variation start process (S401) of FIG. In the first symbol variation start process, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following process. First, as in the case of S251 described above, it is determined whether a second jackpot start command has been received (S261). Such a determination is made in order to perform a big hit game assisting effect in the second big hit game state, as in the case of S251.

  When it is determined that the second jackpot start command has been received, the process proceeds to S266 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second jackpot start command has not been received, data for performing a variation display with a variation pattern corresponding to the received variation pattern command is set (S262). Specifically, in S262, the variation pattern is set by selecting and setting data used for variation display in the variation pattern corresponding to the received variation pattern command. Then, the first variation time timer for measuring the variation display time on the first decoration variation display unit 8k is set, and the timing is started (S263).

  Next, with the variation pattern set in S262, the first ornament variation display unit 8k starts the variation display of the first ornament symbol for deriving and displaying the display result (S264). Then, the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first symbol variation processing (S402) (S265), and the process returns.

  If it is determined in S261 that the second big hit start command has been received and the process proceeds to S266, the first variation start standby flag is set. Here, the first variation start standby flag indicates that the first variation start process is suspended in response to receiving the second jackpot start command and is in a standby state waiting for execution until the end of the jackpot gaming state. It is a flag to show. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first jackpot display process (S404) (S267), and the process returns. Therefore, the first variation pattern command reception waiting process is interrupted and enters a standby state, and the execution of the first jackpot display process is started. As a result, during the second big hit game state, as described above, the big hit game assisting effect is displayed on the first decoration variation display portion 8k.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the first symbol variation processing (S402) of FIG. In the first symbol variation processing, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following processing.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not the first fluctuation interruption flag is set (S271). If the first fluctuation interruption flag is not set, it is confirmed whether or not the first interruption command is received (S276). Here, the variation interruption flag is a flag indicating that the variation display of the decorative symbol is suspended in accordance with the interruption of the variation display of the special symbol described above. In addition, the interruption command includes a first interruption command for instructing interruption of fluctuation display in the first decoration fluctuation display section 8k, and a second interruption command for instructing interruption of fluctuation display in the second decoration fluctuation display section 9k. There is.

  If the first interruption command is received in S276, the first fluctuation interruption flag is set (S277), and the first decoration fluctuation display unit 8k interrupts (stops) the progress of the first decoration symbol fluctuation display. In addition, the variable interruption display for displaying the changing message 100 indicating that the progress of the variable display is interrupted but the variable display is in progress is displayed. (S278) and return. In this variation interruption display, the first decorative design is reduced and moved to the corner of the display screen by maintaining the variation display state as it is and reducing the progress of the variation display in a suspended state. The symbol change display is interrupted. Such a change interruption display is also a display that means that the update of the timer for measuring the change time in the change display unit on which the change interruption display is performed is interrupted.

  Further, if the first fluctuation interruption flag is set in S271, it is determined whether or not the second big hit start command is received as in the case of S251 described above (S272). Such a determination is made in order to perform a big hit game assisting effect in the second big hit game state, as in the case of S251.

  When it is determined that the second jackpot start command has been received, the process proceeds to S284 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second big hit start command has not been received, it is confirmed whether or not the first restart command has been received (S273). If the first restart command is received in S273, the first variation interruption flag is reset (S274), and the variation resumption display indicating that the first ornament variation display portion 8k resumes the variation display of the first ornament symbol. (S275), the process proceeds to S276a. If the first restart command has not been received in S273, the process returns.

  When the first interruption command is not received in S276, the process proceeds to S276a. In S276a, the above-described first variation time timer and the process timer used for managing the display control in the first variation processing are updated. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the process timer has timed out (S279), and if it has timed out, the effect control execution data is switched (S280). In this embodiment, process data indicating the variation pattern of the decorative design is provided (stored) for each variation pattern. The process data is composed of data obtained by collecting a plurality of combinations of process timers and presentation control execution data. The display control microcomputer 800 selects the process data corresponding to the variation pattern command and refers to the process data in the variation pattern set in the presentation control execution data for the time set in the process timer. Controls to display the variable. As a result, in the variation pattern designated to be displayed in the first re-lottery display, once the combination of temporary stop symbols is temporarily stopped in the designated variation pattern, the variation display is started again. Thereafter, the variable display including the first re-lottery display for deriving and displaying the combination of the probability variation big hit symbol or the combination of the non-probability big hit symbol can be performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the first variation time timer has timed out (S281). If the first variable time timer has not timed out, the process returns. On the other hand, if the first variation time timer has timed out, the monitoring timer is started (S282), the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first symbol stop waiting process (S403) (S283), Return.

  Further, when it is determined that the second big hit start command has been received in S272 and the process proceeds to S284, the first symbol variation processing being executed is being executed in order to resume after the big hit game assisting effect. Among the data used in the first symbol variation processing, data necessary for resuming the processing is stored in the data storage area of the RAM. Then, the first variation waiting flag is set (S285). Here, the first variable waiting flag is in a standby state in which the first symbol variable processing is interrupted and waits for execution until the end of the big hit gaming state in response to receiving the second big hit start command. It is a flag which shows. Then, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first jackpot display process (S404) (S286), and the process returns. Therefore, the first variation pattern command reception waiting process is interrupted and enters a standby state, and the execution of the first jackpot display process is started. Thereby, when the second big hit game state is performed, as described above, the big hit game assisting effect is displayed on the first decoration variation display portion 8k.

  With the above processing, when the big hit symbol combination is derived and displayed on the second ornament fluctuation display portion 9k and the big hit gaming state is set, the first fluctuation interruption flag is set based on the reception of the first interruption command. In the first decoration fluctuation display section 8k, fluctuation interruption display is performed. And it controls so that the process of S276a-S283 is not performed until a 1st restart command is received. That is, control is performed so that the first decorative symbols 8a to 8c are not displayed in a variable manner.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on one of the fluctuation display units, the interruption command is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 53 to the display control board 80, and the interruption command is received. Based on the above, control is performed to interrupt the fluctuation display in the other fluctuation display section. Further, when the above-described big hit gaming state is completed in a state where control for interrupting such variable display is performed, a restart command is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 53 to the display control board 80, and the restart command is executed. Based on the reception, the display control microcomputer 800 controls to resume the interrupted variable display.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the first big hit game processing (S405) of FIG. In the first big hit game process, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  First, it is determined whether or not the big hit gaming state is over (S291). Specifically, in S291, it is confirmed whether any ending display command is received from the ending display commands of both the first side and the second side, and when the big hit gaming state ends when received. It is judged that. That is, in the first decoration variation display unit 8k and the second decoration variation display unit 9k, when a big hit gaming state occurs based on the fluctuation display of one of the fluctuation display units, both fluctuations in the big hit gaming state. Since the effect during the big hit game is performed on the display unit, it is necessary to determine whether or not the big hit game state is over for both ending display commands.

  When it is determined that it is not at the end of the big hit game state, the big hit game effect as described above is executed (S292), and the process returns. Specifically, in S292, the big hit game main production or the big hit game assist production is selected and performed as the big hit game during production as follows. When in the first big hit game state, the aforementioned big hit game main effect is executed in S292. On the other hand, when in the second big hit game state, the process proceeds to the first big hit game process after interrupting the first variation pattern reception waiting process, the first symbol variation start process, or the first symbol variation start process, The big hit game assisting effect as described above is executed in S292. If it is determined in S291 that the big hit gaming state has ended, it is determined whether or not the received ending display command is a first-side ending display command (S293). When it is determined that it is not the first side ending display command, the process proceeds to S302 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the ending display command is on the first side, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery is performed (S294). Specifically, in S294, when the received ending display command is a display designation command without completion after the first side secondary re-lottery or a display designation command with completion after the first side secondary re-lottery, When it is determined that the lottery is selected and the received ending display command is the first side big hit normal end display designation command, it is determined that the secondary re-lottery is not performed.

  When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery will be performed, the process proceeds to S297 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second re-lottery will not be performed, the big hit normal end display time, which is a preset time as the big hit normal end display time, is set in the end display timer used for managing the ending display time. The end display timer is started by setting. Then, the big hit normal end display is started (S296), the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit game end processing (S406) (S310), and the process returns. Thereby, the big hit normal end display is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is to be performed, it is determined whether or not to display the completion in the secondary re-lottery display (S297). Specifically, in S297, if the received ending display command is a display designation command with completion after the first-side secondary re-lottery, it is determined that the secondary end-lottery display is to display the rise and the received ending When the display command is a display designation command for no rise after the second secondary lottery, it is determined that no rise is displayed in the secondary re-lottery display.

  If it is determined in the secondary re-lottery display that the completion is displayed, the process proceeds to S300 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined not to display the completion in the secondary re-lottery display, the secondary re-lottery display time which is a preset time as the display time of the secondary re-lottery display is set in the end display timer. As a result, the end display timer is started (S298). For example, the secondary re-lottery display time is set to be longer than the big hit normal end display time. Then, the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display without completion is started (S299), the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit game ending process (S406) (S310), and the process returns. Thereby, the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display is executed.

  Here, the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display is a display performed on the decoration variation display portion where the secondary re-lottery display is not performed when the secondary re-lottery display is performed. This is a display that assists the display by production. In the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display, there is a rise when there is a rise display in the secondary re-lottery display, and a rise display is made in the secondary re-lottery display. A secondary re-lottery auxiliary display without completion when there is none is included. The secondary re-lottery auxiliary display with completion and the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display without completion have different display contents for production. In this embodiment, the display time is set to the same time for the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display with completion and the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display without completion, but even if the display time is set to a different time. Good.

  For example, based on the fact that a combination of jackpot symbols is displayed in the variation display on the first ornament variation display portion 8k side, the secondary re-lottery display is performed on the second ornament variation display portion 9k side at the end of the jackpot game state. When the secondary re-lottery display is performed, the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display is performed on the first decoration variation display portion 8k side.

  When it is determined that the display is completed in the secondary re-lottery display and the process proceeds to S300, the end display timer is started by setting the secondary re-lottery display time in the end display timer. Then, the secondary re-lottery assistance display with completion is started (S301), the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit game ending process (S406) (S310), and the process returns. Thereby, the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display is executed.

  If it is determined in S293 that the command is not the first-side ending display command and the process proceeds to S302, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is performed. Specifically, in S302, if the received ending display command is a display designation command without completion after the second secondary re-lottery or a display designation command with completion after the second secondary re-lottery, It is determined that the next re-lottery display is to be performed, and when the received ending display command is the second side big hit normal end display designation command, it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not to be performed. When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, the end display timer is started by setting the big hit normal end display time in the end display timer (S303). Then, the big hit normal end display is started (S304), the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit game end processing (S406) (S310), and the process returns. Thereby, the big hit normal end display is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is to be performed, it is determined whether or not to display the completion in the secondary re-lottery display (S305). Specifically, in S305, if the received ending display command is a display designation command with completion after the second side secondary lottery, it is determined that the secondary ending lottery display is to display the completion, and the received ending When the display command is a display designation command for no rise after the second side second lottery, it is determined that no rise is displayed in the secondary re-lottery display.

  If it is determined in the secondary re-lottery display that the completion is displayed, the process proceeds to S308 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined not to display the completion in the secondary re-lottery display, the end display timer is started by setting the secondary re-lottery display time in the end display timer (S306). Then, the secondary re-lottery display without completion is started (S307), the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit game ending process (S406) (S310), and the process returns. Thereby, the secondary re-lottery display without displaying the completion is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the display is completed in the secondary re-lottery display and the process proceeds to S308, the end display timer is started by setting the secondary re-lottery display time in the end display timer. Then, the secondary lottery display with completion is started (S309), the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first big hit game ending process (S406) (S310), and the process returns. Thereby, the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display for displaying the completion is executed.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the first big hit game ending process (S406) of FIG. In the first big hit game ending process, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  First, the end display timer set in the big hit game processing is updated (S311). In the first big hit game end process, the big hit normal end display, the secondary re-lottery display, or the secondary re-lottery auxiliary display started by the big hit game process is executed before the end display timer times out. . Then, it is determined whether or not the end display timer has timed out (S312). When it is determined that the end display timer has not timed out, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the end display timer has timed out, it is determined whether or not the first variation start waiting flag is set (S313). When it is determined that the first variation start standby flag is set, the process proceeds to S318 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first variation start waiting flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the first variation waiting flag is set (S314).

  When it is determined that the first fluctuation waiting flag is set, the process proceeds to S320 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first fluctuation waiting flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the first reception waiting flag is set (S315). When it is determined that the first reception waiting flag is not set, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first variation pattern command reception waiting process (S400) (S317), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first reception waiting flag is set, the first reception waiting flag is reset (S316). Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first variation pattern command reception waiting process (S400) (S317), and the process returns. Thereby, the interrupted first variation pattern command reception waiting process is resumed.

  If it is determined in S313 that the first variation start standby flag is set and the process proceeds to S318, the first variation start standby flag is reset. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first symbol variation start process (S401) (S319), and the process returns. Thereby, the interrupted first symbol variation start process is resumed.

  If it is determined in S314 that the first variation waiting flag is set and the process proceeds to S320, the first symbol variation processing that has been stored in the RAM data storage area in S284 is resumed. Data is read (S320). Then, the first variation waiting flag is reset (S321). Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first symbol changing process (S402) (S322), and the process returns. Thereby, the interrupted first symbol variation process is resumed based on the saved data for resumption.

  Next, an example of effect display on the first decoration variation display unit 8k and the second decoration variation display unit 9k will be described. FIG. 30 and FIG. 31 are explanatory diagrams showing examples of effect display of the first decoration variation display unit 8k and the second decoration variation display unit 9k. 30 and FIG. 31, a series of effect displays is shown in (A) to (N).

  In this embodiment, two variation display units, a first decoration variation display unit 8k and a second decoration variation display unit 9k, are provided, and the variation display unit performs variation display of special symbols in parallel. That is, in FIG. 30A, even when the first ornament variation display portion 8k is performing the variation display of the first ornament symbols 8a to 8c, the second ornament variation display portion 9k also performs the second ornament symbol 9a to 9a. The change display of 9c is executed in parallel.

  The primary re-lottery display is performed as shown in the second decoration variation display part 9k of (B) to (D). First, after the combination of the non-probability variation big hit symbols of the second decorative symbols 9a to 9c is temporarily stopped as a temporary stop symbol as shown in (B), the variation display of the second decorative symbols 9a to 9c is again performed as shown in (C). Is started. Thereafter, as shown in (D), a combination of jackpot symbols showing the display result of the primary re-lottery display is derived and displayed.

  Further, as shown in the first decoration variation display section 8k of (B) to (D), while the first decoration variation display section 8k is performing the variation display of the first decoration symbols 8a to 8c, that is, When the combination of jackpot symbols is derived and displayed in the second special symbol process (S15) when the first special symbol process timer has not timed out in S82 in the first special symbol variation process shown in FIG. Then, the second big hit execution flag is set and a process for transmitting the second big hit start command to the display control board 80 is performed.

  When the first special symbol variation process (S143) is executed, it is determined in S87 that the second big hit execution flag is set, the interruption flag is set in S88, and the first interruption command is displayed in S89. Processing for transmitting to the control board 80 is performed. When the display control microcomputer 800 determines that the first interruption command is received in S276, the display control microcomputer 800 sets the first fluctuation interruption flag in S277 and performs the fluctuation interruption display in S278.

  When the first interruption command is received, as shown in (E), the display control microcomputer 800 displays the changing message 100 on the first decoration change display unit 8k and also displays the first decoration pattern. 8a to 8c maintain the variable display state as it is, and perform the interrupted display that is reduced and moved to the corner of the display screen while the progress of the variable display is interrupted. Thus, by displaying the state in which the progress of the variation display of the decorative symbol is interrupted, it is possible to interrupt the variable display of the decorative symbol without causing distrust to the player.

  Then, in the second ornament variation display unit 9k in which the combination of the big hit symbol is derived and displayed, the second decorative symbol combination that is a combination of the big hit symbol is obtained by the second big hit display process of the second special symbol process (S15). 9a to 9c are reduced and moved to the corners of the display screen, and a big hit display for notifying that a big hit gaming state has been achieved is performed. On the other hand, in the 1st decoration fluctuation display part 8k, the big hit display which alert | reports that it became the big hit game state by the 2nd fluctuation display part side by the 1st big hit display process of a 1st special symbol process process is a big hit game assistance. Performed as a production.

  And, as a big hit game effect during the big hit game state, as shown in (F) to (G), the big hit game in which the predetermined character C is displayed on the second decoration variation display portion 9k of the one where the big hit game state has occurred. A main effect is performed, and a big hit game assisting effect is displayed in the first ornament variation display portion 8k of the one where the big hit game state has not occurred, displaying the number of rounds in progress in the big hit game state. Then, when the big hit gaming state is ended, as an effect during the big hit game, as shown in (H), the fact that the big hit gaming state has ended in both the first decorative fluctuation display portion 8k and the second decorative fluctuation display portion 9k. Is displayed.

  The secondary re-lottery display is performed as shown in (I) to (M) of FIG. First, as shown in (I), a display for informing that the secondary re-lottery display is performed on both the first decoration variation display section 8k and the second decoration variation display section 9k ("probability change up chance!"). Is done. Then, as shown in (J), in the first ornament variation display portion 8k in which the variation display is interrupted, the second decorative drawing for the second re-lottery display 7a to be used instead of the second ornament symbols 9a to 9c. After 7c is displayed as a combination of non-probability variable big hit symbols at the time of occurrence of the big hit gaming state, the variable display is started again as shown in (K), and the secondary re-lottery display is performed. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in (L), a combination of jackpot symbols indicating the display result of the secondary re-lottery display is derived and displayed. When the secondary re-lottery display is being performed, the second decoration change display unit 9k uses the character C as shown in (J) to (L) to display the secondary re-lottery display as the first. A display notifying that the decoration variation display section 8k is performing is performed. After the secondary re-lottery display is performed, a display for notifying the display result of the secondary re-lottery display as in (M) is performed. When the big hit gaming state is finished, as shown in (N), the progress of the variable display that has been interrupted in the first decorative variable display section 8k is resumed, and the second decorative variable display section 9k starts a new variable display start condition. Fluctuation display is started by establishment of.

  Further, as shown in (E) to (M), the display of the changing message 100 and the display of interruption of the decorative symbols are continued until the big hit gaming state is finished. Thereby, it is possible to interrupt the variable display of the decorative symbols without giving distrust to the player until the big hit gaming state ends.

  When the big hit gaming state ends, a restart command is transmitted from the main board 31 to the display control board 80. Based on the reception of the resume command, the display control microcomputer 800 displays “change restart” as the change restart message 103 in step S275, and executes the processes after step S279 to restart the change display.

  In this way, when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the other fluctuation display unit while the special symbol and decoration symbol fluctuation display on one fluctuation display unit is displayed, the fluctuation display unit changes to one of the fluctuation display units. The changing message 100 indicating that the display is to be interrupted is displayed and the symbol is interrupted. When the big hit gaming state is ended, the special symbol and the decorative symbol on the one variable display unit are resumed. The change restart message 103 shown is displayed. For this reason, it is possible to interrupt the change display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol without causing distrust to the player.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, an example will be described in which the presence / absence of secondary re-lottery display is specified in addition to the presence / absence of primary re-lottery display by a variation pattern command. In the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  32 and 33 are diagrams for explaining a data table for selecting a variation pattern according to the second embodiment. FIG. 32 shows a non-shortened variation pattern data table, and FIG. 33 shows a shortened variation pattern data table. The non-shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 32 is different from the non-shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 5A in place of the big hit determination time data table and the probability variation big hit determination time data table and the non-probability variable big hit determination time data. A table is provided. Similarly, the shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. 33 is different from the shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. 5B in that, instead of the big hit determination time data table, the probability variation big hit determination time data table and the non-probability variable big hit determination time. And a data table.

  First, the shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 32 will be described. When the determination result is that the big hit determination result using R1 is the big hit and the probability variation determination result using R2 is the probability variation, that is, when the probability variation big hit is determined, the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation display are displayed. A probability variation big hit determination data table in which the relationship with the variation pattern selected and determined as the variation pattern to be used is defined as follows is used.

  When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “0 to 4”, “Big hit A variation pattern with primary re-lottery and secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. Here, “with secondary re-lottery” indicates that secondary re-lottery display is performed. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “5 to 9”, “Big hit A variation pattern with primary re-lottery with no secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “10 to 14”, “Big hit A variation pattern without primary re-lottery with secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “15 to 19”, “no big hit A fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery” and “no secondary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 15 seconds are selected and determined.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “20 to 27”, “Big hit B variation pattern with primary re-lottery and secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “28 to 35”, “Big hit B variation pattern with primary re-lottery with no secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “36 to 43”, “Big hit B variation pattern without primary re-lottery with secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “44 to 51”, “no big hit B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery without secondary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “52 to 63”, “Big hit C variation pattern with primary re-lottery and secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 30 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “64 to 75”, “Big hit C variation pattern with primary re-lottery and without secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 30 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “76 to 87”, “Big hit C fluctuation pattern without primary re-lottery with secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “88 to 99”, “no big hit C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery without secondary re-lottery” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined.

  Further, when the determination result is that the big hit determination result using R1 is a big hit and the probability variation determination result using R2 is non-probable, that is, when the non-probable variation big hit is determined, the extracted value of R5 and A non-probable variation big hit determination data table in which the relationship with the variation pattern selected and determined as the variation pattern used for variation display is defined as follows is used.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “0 to 9”, “Big hit A variation pattern with primary re-lottery and secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “10 to 19”, “Big hit A variation pattern without primary re-lottery with secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “20 to 34”, “Big hit B variation pattern with primary re-lottery and secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “35 to 49”, “no big hit B variation pattern primary re-lottery is present” with a variation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “50 to 74”, “Big hit C variation pattern with primary re-lottery and secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 30 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “75 to 99”, “Big hit C variation pattern without primary re-lottery with secondary re-lottery” with a variation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. In such a non-probable variable big hit determination data table, “No secondary re-lottery” is designated in order to always perform the secondary re-lottery when the final display result is a combination of non-probable variable big hit symbols as described above The fluctuation pattern cannot be selected.

  As described above, in each of the probability variation big hit determination data table and the non-probability variable big hit determination time data table, in addition to the presence / absence of the primary re-lottery display, the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display is also selected and determined. When it is determined to display the secondary re-lottery using the data table for determining the probable variation big hit and the data table for determining the non-probable big hit, the first-side secondary re-lottery flag described above is set. In the variation pattern used in the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, the variation display time is the time (5 seconds) during which the first re-lottery display is performed for the variation pattern with the first re-lottery. include.

  The variation pattern used in the second embodiment indicates the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display, but does not indicate the display mode and the variation time used in the secondary re-lottery display. In the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, the primary re-lottery display and the secondary re-lottery display are managed separately for the mode of variation and the variation time, so the variation time indicated by the variation pattern Does not include the fluctuation time of the secondary re-lottery display.

  Next, the shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 33 will be described. The shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 33 is provided with a probability variation big hit determination time data table and a non-probability variation big hit determination time data table, similarly to the non-shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. In the probability variation big hit determination data table, for each of the big hit D fluctuation pattern and the big hit E fluctuation pattern, “with primary re-lottery and with secondary re-lottery”, “with primary re-lottery and without secondary re-lottery”, A variation pattern in which “no primary re-lottery is present and secondary re-lottery is present” and “no primary re-lottery is not present and secondary re-lottery is not present” is set. And in the data table at the time of non-probable big hit determination, for each of the big hit D fluctuation pattern and big hit E fluctuation pattern, “with primary re-lottery and with secondary re-lottery” and “secondary re-lottery without primary re-lottery” A variation pattern with “Yes” specified is set.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating an example of the effect control command according to the second embodiment in a table format. In FIG. 34, a command number is assigned to each effect control command, and the command name and the content of the command are shown in association with each other. 34, a command different from the effect control command shown in FIG. 6 will be described.

  The command of the fluctuation pattern # 1 to # 14 without the first side primary lottery / secondary secondary lottery designates the fluctuation pattern which designates the fluctuation pattern without the primary secondary lottery and without the secondary secondary lottery on the first side. This is a command, and shows, for example, various fluctuation patterns without primary re-lottery and without secondary re-lottery explained with reference to FIGS. 32 and 33. The command of the variation pattern # 1 to # 5 with the first side primary re-lottery and without the secondary re-lottery is a variation pattern for designating the variation pattern with the primary re-lottery on the first side and without the secondary re-lottery. This is a command, and shows, for example, various variation patterns with and without the secondary re-lottery described with reference to FIGS. 32 and 33.

  The command of the fluctuation pattern # 1 to # 5 with the first side primary re-lottery / secondary re-lottery is the fluctuation pattern for designating the fluctuation pattern with the primary re-lottery and with the secondary re-lottery on the first side. This is a command, and shows, for example, various variation patterns with primary re-lottery and with secondary re-lottery described with reference to FIGS. 32 and 33. The command of the fluctuation pattern # 1 to # 5 with the first side without the first re-lottery and with the secondary re-lottery is the fluctuation pattern for designating the fluctuation pattern with the primary re-lottery on the first side and without the secondary re-lottery. This is a command and shows, for example, various variation patterns with and without secondary re-lottery described with reference to FIGS. 32 and 33.

  The effect control command of the second embodiment does not include the probability variable big hit designation secondary re-lottery designation command shown in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing a first special symbol stop symbol setting process according to the second embodiment. The first special symbol stop symbol setting process of FIG. 35 is different from that of FIG. 13 in that the decorative symbol information determination process of S46 is not provided. For this reason, when the big hit symbol is determined in S45, the process proceeds to S48 as it is.

  In S48, unlike the case of the first embodiment, processing for selecting a symbol information command to be transmitted is performed as follows. Specifically, when the outlier symbol is determined in S47, that is, when the first big hit flag is not set, the above-mentioned first side deviation designation command is selected as the symbol information command. On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is set, the symbol information command is selected as follows. When the first certain variation big hit flag is not set, the first side normal big hit designation command is selected. Further, when the first probability variation jackpot flag is set, the first side probability variation jackpot designation command is selected. As described above, in S48, as the symbol information command, any command is selected from the first side deviation designation command, the first side normal big hit designation command, and the first side certain variation big hit designation command.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a first variation pattern setting process (S142) in the first special symbol process according to the second embodiment. The first variation pattern setting process of FIG. 36 is different from that of FIG. 15 in that S63a and S64a are provided instead of S63 and S64.

  In S63a, the data table used to determine the variation pattern is determined from the non-shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. Select the hour data table. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a probable big hit is made based on whether or not the first probable big hit flag is set. If so, the data table at the time of determining the uncertain variable big hit is selected.

  In S64a, as the data table used to determine the variation pattern, the probability variation big hit decision time data table or the non-probability variation big hit decision time is selected from the shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. Select a data table. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a probable big hit is made based on whether or not the first probable big hit flag is set. If so, the data table at the time of determining the uncertain variable big hit is selected.

  Based on the selection of the variation pattern table in S63a and S64a, the variation pattern is selected in S69 using the probability variation big hit determination time data table and the non-probability variable big hit decision time data table shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, respectively. be able to. In S69, when the change pattern is selected and determined, if it is determined to display the secondary re-lottery as described above, the first side secondary re-lottery flag is set.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the symbol determination process (S219) according to the second embodiment. The symbol determination process of FIG. 37 is different from that of FIG. 23 in that S235a and S236a are provided instead of S235 and S236, and the distribution to S237 to S241 is performed by these steps.

  In S235a, it is determined whether or not secondary re-lottery display has been designated. Specifically, in S235a, it is determined whether or not to perform the secondary re-lottery display according to the information on the presence or absence of the secondary re-lottery display indicated by the received variation pattern command. When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display has not been designated, as in S239 described above, the variable display result before the big hit gaming state (in this case, the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, so the final display result) As a result, the probability variation big hit symbol combination is randomly determined (S239). On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display has been designated, it is determined whether or not the final display result of the variable display is to be a combination of the probabilistic large hit symbol as in S235 described above (S236a). Specifically, in S236a, when the received symbol designating command is a command for designating a probable big hit, it is determined that the final display result is a combination of probable big hit symbols, and the received symbol information command is a command for designating a normal jackpot. In some cases, the final display result is determined to be a combination of probable big hit symbols.

  When it is determined that the combination of the probable big hit symbols is determined, the combination of the non-probable big hit symbols is randomly determined as the variation display result before the big hit gaming state is set (S237). Then, similarly to S238 described above, a combination of probability variation big hit symbols is randomly determined as the display result of the secondary re-lottery display (S238), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the combination of the probable big hit symbols is not made, the display result of the change before entering the big hit gaming state (the display result of the primary re-lottery display when the primary re-lottery display is made) is the same as S240 described above. If the primary re-lottery display is not performed, the combination of non-probable variation big hit symbols is determined randomly (display result of variable display) (S240). As in the case of S241 described above, when the variable display result is a combination of non-probable big hit symbols, the secondary re-lottery must be performed as described above. The combination of the probable big hit symbols is randomly determined (S241), and the process returns.

  In the second embodiment configured as described above, the effect control commands used are partially different from those of the first embodiment, and the effect control commands are partially different, so that the game control microcomputer 53 is used. Is different from the part of the process executed by the display control microcomputer 800, but based on the effect control command, the primary re-lottery display and the same as in the first embodiment Secondary re-lottery display is performed.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, in addition to the presence / absence of the primary re-lottery display, the final display result (the change display result before the big hit gaming state and the secondary re-lottery are performed when the secondary re-lottery is not performed). When it is selected, the change display result of the secondary re-lottery display is designated. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the change display result before the big hit gaming state is designated by the symbol information command. In the third embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  38 and 39 are diagrams for explaining a data table for selecting a variation pattern according to the third embodiment. FIG. 38 shows a non-shortening variation pattern data table, and FIG. 39 shows a shortening variation pattern data table. The non-shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 38 differs from the non-shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 5A in place of the big hit determination time data table and the probability variation big hit determination time data table and the non-probability variable big hit determination time data. A table is provided. Similarly, the shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. 39 is different from the shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. 5B in that, instead of the big hit determination time data table, the probability variation big hit determination time data table and the non-probability variable big hit determination time. And a data table.

  First, the shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 38 will be described. When the determination result is the big hit determination result using R1 and the probability variation determination result using R2 is a probability variation, that is, when the probability variation big hit is determined, it is used for the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation display. A probability variation big hit determination data table in which the relationship with the variation pattern selected and determined as the variation pattern is determined as follows is used.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “0 to 9”, “big hit A fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery with certain variation big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. Here, the probability variation jackpot indicates that the above-mentioned final display result is a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “10 to 19”, “big hit A fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery without probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “20 to 34”, “big hit B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery with certain variation big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “35 to 49”, “big hit B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery without probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined.

  When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “50 to 74”, “big hit C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery with positive variation big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 30 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “75 to 99”, “big hit C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery without probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined.

  Further, when the determination result is that the big hit determination result using R1 is the big hit and the probability variation determination result using R2 is non-probable, that is, when the non-probable variation big hit is determined, the extracted value of R5 and the fluctuation An uncertain variable big hit determination data table in which the relationship with the variation pattern selected and determined as the variation pattern used for display is defined as follows is used.

  When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “0 to 9”, “big hit A fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery with non-probable big hit” having a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined. Here, the non-probable variation big hit indicates that the above-mentioned final display result is a combination of non-probable big hit symbols. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “10 to 19”, “big hit A fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery non-probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 15 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “20 to 34”, “big hit B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery with non-probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “35 to 49”, “big hit B fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery non-probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 20 seconds is selected and determined.

  When the extracted value of R5 is in the range of “50 to 74”, “big hit C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery with non-probable big hit” having a fluctuation display time of 30 seconds is selected and determined. When the extracted value of R5 is within the range of “75 to 99”, “big hit C fluctuation pattern primary re-lottery non-probable big hit” with a fluctuation display time of 25 seconds is selected and determined.

  As described above, the variation pattern determined in the data table at the time of determining the probability variation jackpot indicates whether or not the display result is a probability variation jackpot in addition to the presence / absence of the primary re-lottery display. In addition, the variation pattern determined at the time of determining the non-probable variable big hit also indicates that the display result is a probable big hit in addition to the presence / absence of the first re-lottery display. In the variation pattern used in the third embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, for the variation pattern with the first re-lottery, the time (5 seconds) during which the first re-lottery display is performed is the variation display time. include.

  Next, the shortening variation pattern data table of FIG. 39 will be described. The shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. 39 has the same configuration as the non-shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. In other words, a data table for determining a probable big hit and a data table for determining a non-probable big hit are provided. In the data table at the time of determining the probable variation big hit, for each of the big hit D fluctuation pattern and the big hit E fluctuation pattern, there are fluctuation patterns in which “probable big hit with primary re-lottery” and “probable big hit without primary re-lottery” are designated. Is set. In the non-probable variable big hit determination data table, “non-probable big hit with primary re-lottery” and “non-probable big hit without primary re-lottery” are designated for each of the big hit D fluctuation pattern and big hit E fluctuation pattern. A fluctuation pattern is set.

  FIG. 40 is a diagram illustrating an example of the effect control command according to the second embodiment in a table format. In FIG. 40, a command number is assigned to each effect control command, and the command name and the content of the command are shown in association with each other. 40, a command different from the effect control command shown in FIG. 6 will be described.

  The command of the first side primary re-lottery / out-of-shift variation pattern # 1 to # 9 is a variation pattern for designating a variation pattern in which the first display has no primary re-lottery and the final display result is a combination of out-of-patterns. This is a command, and shows, for example, various fluctuation patterns of deviations without the first re-lottery explained with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. The first side primary no lottery / normal big hit fluctuation pattern # 1 to # 5 commands specify the fluctuation pattern in which the primary display is no primary lottery on the first side and the final display result is a combination of uncertain variable big hit symbols The variation pattern commands are, for example, the various variation patterns without primary re-lottery / non-probable variation big hits described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39.

  First side primary re-lottery ・ Normal big hit variation pattern # 1 to # 5 commands specify the first re-lottery on the first side, and the final display result is a variation pattern that is a combination of uncertain variable big hit symbols The variation pattern commands are, for example, the various variation patterns with the first re-lottery / uncertain variation big hit described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. The command of the first side primary re-lottery / probable variation big hit variation pattern # 1 to # 5 specifies the variation pattern in which the first display is not the first re-lottery and the final display result is a combination of the probable variation big hit symbol. This is a variation pattern command, and shows, for example, various variation patterns without primary re-lottery / probability variation jack explained with reference to FIGS.

  As for the effect control commands of the third embodiment, the following symbol information commands are included instead of the symbol information commands shown in the first embodiment.

  The first-side deviation designation command is a symbol information command that designates that the final display result is a combination of symbols that are missing as in the case of the first embodiment. Unlike the case of the first embodiment, the first side normal jackpot designation command specifies that the variation display result before the big hit gaming state on the first side is to be a combination of normal jackpot symbols as a combination of uncertain variable jackpot symbols. This is a symbol information command. The first side probability variable jackpot designation command is a symbol information command that designates that the variation display result before the big hit gaming state on the first side is a combination of probability variation big hit symbols.

  In the third embodiment, although not shown, as the first special symbol stop symbol setting process, a process is performed in which the first special symbol stop symbol setting process in FIG. 13 is different from the method of selecting the symbol information command in S48. . This is because, unlike the case of the first embodiment, in the case of the third embodiment, not the final display result but the variable display result before the big hit gaming state is designated by the symbol information command. In S48 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process according to the third embodiment, a process of selecting a symbol information command is performed as follows. Specifically, when the off symbol is determined in S47 of FIG. 13, that is, when the first big hit flag is not set, the above-mentioned first side deviation designation command is selected as the first symbol information command. On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is set, the first symbol information command is selected as follows. When the first certain variation big hit flag is not set, the first side normal big hit designation command is selected. In addition, when the first probability variation big hit flag is set and the first side secondary re-lottery flag is not set, the first side probability variation big hit designation command is selected. Further, when the first certainty big hit flag is set and the first side secondary re-lottery flag is set, the first side normal big hit command is selected.

  In the third embodiment, as the first variation pattern setting process, a process similar to the first variation pattern setting process of FIG. 36 is performed instead of the first variation pattern setting process of FIG.

  In the third embodiment, when the variation pattern is selected, the data table used to determine the variation pattern in S63a of the first variation pattern setting process in FIG. From the above, the data table for when the probability variation big hit is determined or the data table for when the probability variation big hit is determined is selected according to whether or not the probability variation big hit is achieved. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a probable big hit is made based on whether or not the first probable big hit flag is set. If so, the data table at the time of determining the uncertain variable big hit is selected.

  In S64a, as the data table used for determining the variation pattern, the probability variation big hit determination time data table or the non-probability variation big hit is selected from the shortened variation pattern data table of FIG. Select the data table at the time of decision. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a probable big hit is made based on whether or not the first probable big hit flag is set. If so, the data table at the time of determining the uncertain variable big hit is selected.

  Based on the selection of the variation pattern table in S63a and S64a, the variation pattern is selected in S69 using each of the probability variation big hit determination time data table and the non-probability variable big hit decision time data table shown in FIGS. 38 and 39. be able to.

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing a symbol determination process (S219) according to the third embodiment. 41 differs from that of FIG. 23 in that S231b, S235b, and S236b are provided instead of S231, S235, and S236, and S231b distributes to S232 and S233, and S235b and S236b. Thus, the distribution to S237 to S241 is performed.

  First, in S231b, it is determined whether or not the final display result of the variable display performed according to the received effect control command is a combination of jackpot symbols. Specifically, as a variation pattern command, for example, the final display result of the big hit symbol is a normal big hit variation pattern command with the first side primary lottery and a positive variation big hit variation pattern command with the first side primary lottery. When a command to be combined is received, it is determined that the combination is a big hit symbol, and the process proceeds to S233. As a variation pattern command, for example, when a command having a final display result as a combination of outliers, such as a first side primary re-lottery variation variation command, is received, it is determined not to be a jackpot symbol combination, The process proceeds to S232.

  In S235b, it is determined whether or not the final display result is a combination of probability variation big hit symbols. Specifically, in S235b, for example, when a variation display pattern command for designating a probable variation big hit such as a first side primary re-lottery / probable variation big hit variation pattern designation command is received, the final display result is combined with a probable variation big hit symbol Judge that. In S235b, for example, when a variation display pattern command designating a non-probable variation big hit such as the first side primary re-lottery / normal big hit variation pattern designation command is received, the final display result is a combination of the probability variation big hit symbol combination. Judge not to. When it is determined that the combination is not a probable big hit symbol combination, the process proceeds to S240 and S241, and in the same way as in the first embodiment, the combination of the non-probable big hit symbol as a variation display result before the big hit gaming state is entered and the secondary A combination of non-probable big hit symbols as a display result of the re-lottery display is determined at random, and the process returns.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the combination of probability variation jackpot symbols is determined, it is determined whether or not the variation display result before the jackpot game is a probability variation jackpot. Specifically, in S236b, it is determined whether or not the variation display result before the big hit game is a probable big hit according to the display result indicated by the received symbol information command. For example, when the first probable big hit designation command is received, the fluctuation display result before the big hit game is determined to be the probable big hit, and when the first normal big hit designation command is received, the fluctuation display result before the big hit gaming state is uncertainly changed. Judged to be a big hit.

  Here, the reason why it is determined in S236b whether or not the fluctuation display result before the big hit game is the positive probability big hit when the final display result is the big probability big hit. When the final display result is a combination of probabilistic jackpot symbols and the display result before the big hit gaming state is a combination of probabilistic jackpot symbols, the second re-lottery display is not performed and the final display result is a non-probable big jackpot symbol Is the time. In other words, when the secondary re-lottery display is performed, in order to perform the effect of whether or not it will be achieved by the secondary re-lottery display, regardless of whether or not the final display result is a combination of the probable big hit symbols, Since the previous fluctuation display result needs to be a combination of non-probable big hit symbols, the final display result is specified as a combination of probable big hit symbols by the variation pattern command, and the display result before the big hit gaming state is designated by the symbol information command The command indicates that the secondary re-lottery display is not performed when is a combination of the probable big hit symbols. On the other hand, if it is specified by the variation pattern command and the symbol information command that the display result before the big hit gaming state becomes the combination of the non-probable big hit symbol when the final display result becomes the combination of the probable big hit symbol, 2 This is when the next re-lottery display is performed and the final display result is a probable big hit symbol. As described above, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is performed in S236b as to whether or not the variation display result before the big hit game is a probable big hit.

  When it is determined in S236b that the fluctuation display result before the big hit game is not a probable big hit, it is the time when the secondary re-lottery display is performed, so the process proceeds to S237 and S238, and as in the case of the first embodiment, the big hit A combination of non-probable variation jackpot symbols is randomly determined as a variation display result before entering the gaming state, and a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols is randomly determined as a final display result, and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined in S236b that the fluctuation display result before the big hit game is a probable big hit, since the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, the process proceeds to S239, and as in the case of the first embodiment, the big hit As a final display result before entering the gaming state, a combination of probable big hit symbols is randomly determined, and the process returns.

  In the third embodiment configured as described above, the presentation control commands used are partially different from those of the first embodiment, and the presentation control commands are partially different, so that the gaming control microcomputer 53 is different. Is different from the part of the process executed by the display control microcomputer 800, but based on the effect control command, the primary re-lottery display and the same as in the first embodiment Secondary re-lottery display is performed.

Next, main effects obtained by the first to third embodiments described above will be described.
(1) When changing to the probability change control mode, the probability change flag and the time reduction flag are set in S703 and S704 of FIG. 16, and when changing from the probability change control mode to the time reduction control mode, the probability change flag is reset in S706 or S713 of FIG. As a result, the probability variation flag is reset and the time reduction control mode is set to data indicating the time reduction control mode. Then, when the time reduction control mode ends, the time reduction flag is reset in S709 or S718 of FIG. 16, thereby resetting the probability variable flag and setting the time reduction flag to the data in the state of time reduction control mode. The data indicating whether or not this state is set to the data indicating that the time-saving control mode is not being performed. 15 is selected by S64, S68 of FIG. 15 or S64a, S68 of FIG. 36, the time reduction flag is set when the time reduction flag is set in S69 of FIG. A shorter display time is selected than when not set. Furthermore, when the time-varying control mode is being controlled, when the variation display of the symbol that is determined not to be controlled to the certain variation state is started on one of the variation display units, for example, the first variation display unit, When the time reduction flag is reset in S709 of FIG. 16, data indicating whether or not the time reduction control mode is set is set to data indicating that the time reduction control mode is not being performed. For this reason, during the variation display for which it is determined that the control is not performed in the certain variation state, the variation performed during the time reduction control mode due to the difference in the number of variation displays performed in the other variation display unit, for example, the second variation display unit. There is no difference between players in the number of displays. In addition, when it is determined that the variation display count in the state of the time reduction control mode has reached the number of time reduction finishes, the symbol variation display is started at one of the variation display sections, for example, the first variation display section. When the time reduction flag is reset in S718 of FIG. 16, the data indicating whether or not the state is in the time reduction control mode is set to data indicating that the time reduction control mode is not in effect. For this reason, during the variation display of the symbol when it is determined that the number of times of variation display has reached the number of time reduction ends, the time variation is reduced due to the difference in the number of variation displays executed by the other variation display unit, for example, the second variation display unit. There is no difference between players in the number of variable displays executed during the control mode. As a result, since unfairness does not occur between players, it is possible to enhance the interest of the players.

  Further, when controlled to the probability variation control mode, when the variation display of the symbol that is determined not to be controlled to the certain variation state is started on any one of the variation display units, for example, the first variation display unit, When the probability variation flag is reset in S706 of FIG. 16, data indicating whether or not the probability variation control mode is in effect is set to data indicating that the probability variation control mode is not being performed. For this reason, the variation executed during the certain variation control mode due to the difference in the number of variation displays performed in the other variation display unit, for example, the second variation display unit during the variation display determined not to be controlled to the certain variation state. There is no difference between players in the number of displays. As a result, since unfairness does not occur between players, it is possible to enhance the interest of the players.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, as an effect performed in the fluctuation display section, after temporarily stopping a combination of non-probable variation big hit symbols, the probability variation control mode is obtained by deriving and displaying any one of the big hit symbol combinations. Whether or not to enter the probability variation control mode by deriving and displaying any combination of the big win symbols after the first re-lottery display indicating whether or not, and after the big hit gaming state is finished, the decorative symbols are variably displayed again It is possible to execute a secondary re-lottery display indicating the above. By providing a plurality of types of effect display indicating whether or not the probability variation control mode is set in this way, variations in the effect display are abundant, so that the player's interest can be enhanced in terms of the effect display. In addition, the second re-lottery display is executed in accordance with the display designation command that is completed after the second re-lottery among the ending display commands transmitted after the big-hit gaming state is started. It can enhance the interest of the players inside.

  In addition, as shown in the first embodiment, when the execution of the primary re-lottery is instructed based on the variation pattern command and the execution of the secondary re-lottery display is instructed based on the symbol information command, When the information command indicates that it is a probable big hit, the display result in the first re-lottery display in S237 of FIG. 23, that is, the non-probable big hit symbol is determined as the fluctuation display result before the big hit gaming state, in S238. The probability variation big win symbol displayed in the secondary re-lottery display is determined. In this case, the combination of the non-probability variable big hit symbols is derived and displayed in the first re-lottery display, and the probability variable control mode is displayed by being derived and displayed in the secondary re-lottery display. . As a result, in the variable display when the display result is a combination of probability variation big winning symbols, it is shown that the primary re-lottery display before the second re-lottery display is in the probability variation control mode. It is possible to prevent display mismatch. Whether or not a display indicating that the control mode is to be changed is performed by the execution of the secondary re-lottery display by the display designation command without completion after the secondary re-lottery and the display designation command with the rise after the secondary re-lottery. Since it is instructed, it can be prevented that the secondary re-lottery display erroneously indicates whether or not to display that the probability variation state is to be performed.

  (2) In the second embodiment, when the execution of the primary re-lottery display is instructed based on the variation pattern command and the execution of the secondary re-lottery display is instructed based on the variation pattern command, When the symbol information command indicates that the probability variation jackpot is to be obtained, the display result in the first re-lottery display in S237 of FIG. 37, that is, the non-probability variation jackpot symbol is determined as the variation display result before the jackpot gaming state, S238. The probability variation big win symbol displayed in the secondary re-lottery display is determined. In this case, the combination of the non-probability variable big hit symbols is derived and displayed in the first re-lottery display, and the probability variable control mode is displayed by being derived and displayed in the secondary re-lottery display. . As a result, in the variable display when the display result is a combination of probability variation big winning symbols, it is shown that the primary re-lottery display before the second re-lottery display is in the probability variation control mode. It is possible to prevent display mismatch.

  (3) In the third embodiment, the execution of the first re-lottery is instructed based on the variation pattern command, and the probability variation big hit is instructed based on the variation pattern command. Based on the symbol information command When the display result before the big hit gaming state is instructed to be a combination of non-probable big hit symbols, the display result in the first re-lottery display in S237 of FIG. The probability variation big hit symbol is determined, and the probability variation big hit symbol displayed in the secondary re-lottery display is determined in S238. In this case, the combination of the non-probability variable big hit symbols is derived and displayed in the first re-lottery display, and the probability variable control mode is displayed by being derived and displayed in the secondary re-lottery display. . As a result, in the variable display when the display result is a combination of probability variation big winning symbols, it is shown that the primary re-lottery display before the second re-lottery display is in the probability variation control mode. It is possible to prevent display mismatch.

  (4) Further, as shown in S103 of FIG. 19, a display designation command without completion after the second re-lottery or a display designation command with completion after the second re-lottery is output when the big hit gaming state ends, By S307 and S309 in FIG. 28, the secondary re-lottery display is performed at the end of the big hit gaming state. Thereby, when it is controlled to the big hit gaming state, it is possible to continue to the end of the big hit gaming state and enhance the interest of the player for a long period of time.

  (5) In addition, based on the big hit normal end display command set and transmitted in S103 of FIG. 19 when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not executed, the fact that the big hit gaming state has ended is notified. The big hit normal end display is executed. By executing such a big hit normal end display, the player can easily grasp that the secondary re-lottery display is not executed.

  (6) Further, as described above, since the execution time of the secondary re-lottery display is set to be longer than the execution time of the big hit normal end display, the fluctuation occurs when the secondary re-lottery display is not executed. It is possible to prevent a display time from being unnecessarily prolonged in the display unit.

  (7) Further, for example, when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the second ornament variation display portion 9k and the variation display of the first ornament symbol is executed on the first ornament variation display portion 8k, the first special of FIG. In S87 of symbol variation processing, the flag is set to Y to indicate that the first interruption flag is set and the first special symbol process timer is not subtracted. For example, a big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the first ornament variation display portion 8k. When the second decorative symbol variation display is executed on the second decorative variation display portion 9k, the first big hit running flag is set in S84 in the first special symbol variation processing of the first special symbol process. At the time, it is determined that the first big hit flag is set by the step corresponding to S87 of the first special symbol variation process in the second special symbol variation process, and the second interruption flag is set. As shown in the above, the subtraction of the second special symbol process timer is not performed, and when the big hit symbol combination is derived and displayed on one variation display portion, the variation display time on the other variation display portion is measured. By interrupting, it is possible to prevent a big hit gaming state from occurring simultaneously in a plurality of change display units. Also, since the variation display of the identification information is displayed on the other variation display unit until the combination of the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed on one variation display unit, the combination of the jackpot symbol is displayed on one variation display unit. Can be made difficult for the player to grasp.

  (8) As shown in S293, S302, S307, S309 of FIG. 28 and (J) to (L) of FIG. 31, the variation display time of the variation display time when the combination of jackpot symbols is derived and displayed on one variation display section. Since the secondary re-lottery display is performed in the other fluctuation display unit that is interrupting the measurement, a plurality of variable display units are involved in the secondary re-lottery display, and one variable display is displayed in the secondary re-lottery display. Compared to the case where only the department is involved, the variation of the production can be enriched.

  (9) In 1st Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the presence or absence of the secondary re-lottery display was shown by the symbol information command. As described above, since the symbol information command is used to indicate the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display, the command used as the effect control command is used compared to the case where the dedicated command indicating the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display is used. The number can be reduced, and the control burden of the game control microcomputer 53 can be reduced. Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display is indicated by the variation pattern command. In this way, the change pattern command is used to indicate the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display, so that a command used as an effect control command is used compared to the case where a dedicated command indicating the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display is used. The number can be reduced, and the control burden of the game control microcomputer 53 can be reduced. In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40, the variation pattern command indicates the final display result, and the symbol information command indicates the display result derived and displayed in the variation display. By enabling the computer 800 to specify whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is present, it is possible to reduce the number of commands used as effect control commands compared to the case where a dedicated command indicating the presence or absence of the secondary re-lottery display is used. It is possible to reduce the control burden of the game control microcomputer 53.

  (10) In the first to third embodiments, the secondary re-lottery display is performed by sharing the special symbol jackpot symbol with the probability variation jackpot and the non-probability variation jackpot. In the previous stage, that is, the stage before the big hit gaming state, the player does not have to realize whether or not it will be in the probable change state by the secondary re-lottery display from the derived display. be able to.

  (11) In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the fluctuation pattern command and the presence / absence of the first re-lottery display are indicated by the fluctuation pattern command. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, the presence / absence of the secondary re-lottery display is shown in addition to the variation pattern and the presence / absence of the primary re-lottery display by the variation pattern command. Further, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40, in addition to the presence / absence of the variation pattern and the first re-lottery display by the variation pattern command, the final display result is lost and becomes either a normal big hit or a probable big hit. Showed. As described above, in the first embodiment, since the types of information indicated by the variation pattern commands are less than those in the second embodiment and the third embodiment, compared with each of the second embodiment and the third embodiment. Thus, the number of variation pattern commands can be reduced.

Next, modifications and feature points of the embodiment described above are listed below.
(1) In the embodiment described above, when the display control microcomputer 800 determines that the first interruption command is received in S276, for example, in the state where the measurement of the variation display time of the variation pattern is stopped, The first variation interruption flag is set (S277), and the first ornament variation display unit 8k performs a display in which the progress of the variation display of the first ornament symbol is suspended (stopped), and the variation time of the first ornament symbol is displayed. An example is shown in which the variable interruption display is performed to display the changing message 100 indicating that the measurement is interrupted (stopped) and the progress of the variable display is interrupted but the variable display is in progress. As described above, when the progress of the decorative symbol display is interrupted, the control of temporarily stopping the combination of the off symbols may be performed. If comprised in this way, the change display of a symbol can be interrupted, without giving distrust to a player whether the change display used as a specific display result has been stopped.

  (2) In the embodiment described above, for each of the first variation display portion and the second variation display portion, a notice effect that notifies that a big hit will be made when it is decided that a big hit will be made. Explained that there may be a jackpot notice. Such a jackpot notice may be performed as follows. For example, in the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit, as one of the variation display units, a notice effect that notifies that the variation display result in the other variation display unit is a big hit. You may make it make a big hit notice. More specifically, when there is an extracted value of R1 that is determined to be a big hit in the first and second reserved storage buffers, the effect control indicating that there is data that is a big hit from the game control microcomputer 53 When the command is transmitted to the display control board 80 and the presentation control command is received, the display control microcomputer 800 targets one decoration variation display section determined to be a big hit, and the other decoration variation display section Control to display the jackpot notice on the side. Such a jackpot notice may be performed at a predetermined rate in both cases where the jackpot is actually made and when the jackpot is not actually made. If it is configured to perform such a big hit announcement, when it is determined that the display result of the variation display of the first variation display unit is the specific display result, the second variation display unit displays the variation display. Since a notice that the display result is the specific display result is notified, it is possible for the player to be interested in the variable display of both the first variable display unit and the second variable display unit.

  (3) About each of the 1st fluctuation display part and the 2nd fluctuation display part, the display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a combination of uncertain change big hit symbols in either one of the fluctuation display parts. When it is determined that it will be a probable big hit, a display for making a probable advance notice that the other change display section will give a notice to the effect that it will become a probable big hit symbol in the secondary re-lottery display. May be performed. Further, such a probability change notice may be performed at a predetermined rate even when it is determined that the probability change big hit is not made. If the player is configured to perform such a probability change notice, the player's The interest can be further improved.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the probability variation end determination is performed to randomly determine whether or not to end the probability variation state at the stage before the jackpot determination in S36 in the first special symbol process of FIG. It may be. When it is determined that the probability variation state is not terminated in the probability variation end determination, the jackpot determination is performed with a high probability of the probability variation state, and when it is determined that the probability variation state is terminated in the probability variation end determination, the probability variation flag is reset. Then, the big hit determination may be performed with a low probability of the non-probability variation state. In this case, since the big hit determination is performed based on the determination as to whether or not to end the probability change state, the big hit determination to be performed based on whether or not the probability change state can be accurately performed. it can.

  (5) In the embodiment described above, a display control microcomputer capable of comprehensively controlling display control, sound control, and lamp control is provided as means for controlling the effects of the game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a microcomputer for performing display control, a microcomputer for performing sound control, and a microcomputer for performing lamp control are provided, and the microcomputer for game control has a display control for each of these microcomputers. A configuration may be employed in which a command, a sound control command, and a lamp control command are given, and each microcomputer individually executes each control in accordance with the command.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the probability variation end count and the short-time end count are preset to the same number (for example, 100 times) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be set in advance so that the number of time reduction ends is increased, or conversely, it may be set in advance so that the number of probability variation ends is larger than the number of time reduction ends. Further, the probability variation end count and the time reduction end count may be determined using a random counter or the like. For example, when setting the probability variation flag, a random number is extracted from a random counter for determining the probability variation end count, and the probability variation end is performed using the extracted random number. The number of times may be determined. Similarly, when the time reduction flag is set, a random number may be extracted from a random counter for determining the number of time reduction ends, and the number of time reduction ends may be determined using the extracted random number.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of variations including a first variation display unit and a second variation display unit that can individually perform variation display of a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. Although a gaming machine that has a display unit and is controlled to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player when the display result of the variable display in any of the variable display units becomes a predetermined specific display result has been described, For example, the game can be started by setting the number of bets for one game, and the display result of the variable display unit is derived and displayed, so that one game is finished and the variable display is displayed. It may be a slot machine or the like that can generate a predetermined prize according to the display result of the section.

  Moreover, as long as it has a display part in a gaming machine, it may be, for example, a general electric machine or a gaming machine with a probability setting function called a pachi-kon. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied not only to a CR type ball game machine that lends a ball using a prepaid card, but also to a game machine that lends a ball using cash. In other words, any form of game machine may be used as long as it has a display device such as an LCD and can display the symbols as identification information in a variable manner. In addition, the game is not limited to a payout type game machine that pays out a predetermined number of prize balls in response to detection of a winning ball, but an enclosed game that encloses a game ball and gives points in response to detection of the winning ball It can also be applied to machines.

  (8) The embodiment described above can also be applied to a game machine that simulates the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The program and data for realizing the above-described embodiment are not limited to a form distributed and provided to a computer apparatus or the like by a detachable recording medium, but a storage apparatus that the computer apparatus or the like has in advance. You may take the form that is distributed by pre-installing. Furthermore, the program and data for realizing the present invention are distributed by downloading from other devices on a network connected via a communication line or the like by providing a communication processing unit. It doesn't matter. The game execution mode is not only executed by attaching a detachable recording medium, but can also be executed by temporarily storing a program and data downloaded via a communication line or the like in an internal memory or the like. It is also possible to execute directly using hardware resources on the other device side on a network connected via a communication line or the like. Further, the game can be executed by exchanging data with other computer devices or the like via a network.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, the state is controlled to the probability changing state and the time-saving state by shifting to the probability-changing control mode, and the time-saving state is controlled by shifting to the time-shorting control mode after completion of the probability-changing control mode. An example is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the following first and second configurations may be adopted. As a first configuration, for example, by changing to the probability changing control mode, the probability changing state and the time saving state are controlled, and after the probability changing control mode is finished, the time changing control mode is not changed to the normal gaming state. (For example, in the special game process of FIG. 16, S708 to S709a and S715 to S719 are not provided, and the step of resetting the short time flag when the probability variation end count is reached in S712, and the probability variation flag is set in S705. And a step of resetting the time reduction flag when it is determined that it is determined, and the process returns when it is determined that the probability variation flag is not set in S705). This first configuration is shown as follows. The game control means is in the probability variation state when the probability variation state data (probability variation flag data, time reduction flag data) indicating whether or not the gaming state is the probability variation state is shifted to the probability variation state. Non-stochastic variation state data (probability variation flag) indicating that it is not a probability variation state when the probability variation state is completed. Is included, and probability variation state data setting means is set to the data obtained by resetting the time flag data. The probability variation state data setting means, when being controlled to the probability variation state, the variation display of the identification information that has been determined not to be controlled to the probability variation state by the predetermining means (the final display result is uncertain) When the variation display when the big hit symbol combination is started (for example, the timing corresponding to the timing 4 in FIG. 7D), the probability variation state data is set to the non-probability variation state data.

  In addition, as a second configuration, for example, by shifting to the probability variation control mode, the control is performed to the probability variation state without being controlled to the time reduction state. (For example, S704, S708 to S709a, and S715 to S719 are not provided in the special game process of FIG. 16). This second configuration is shown as follows. The game control means has a probability variation indicating that the probability variation state data (probability variation flag data) indicating whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation state is in the probability variation state when the game state is shifted to the probability variation state. Probability state data setting that is set to state data (data with probability variation flag set) and set to non-probability variation state data (data with probability variation flag reset) indicating that the probability variation state is not reached when the probability variation state ends Including means. The probability variation state data setting means, when being controlled to the probability variation state, the identification information variation display (the final display result is uncertain variation) determined by the prior determination means not to be controlled to the probability variation state. When the variation display when the big hit symbol combination is started (for example, the timing corresponding to the timing 4 in FIG. 7D), the probability variation state data is set to the non-probability variation state data.

  By adopting such a first configuration or second configuration, the following effects can be obtained. When the probability variation control mode is controlled, when the variation display of the symbol determined not to be controlled to the certain variation state is started in any one of the variation display units, for example, the first variation display unit, the probability variation flag Is reset (the probability variation state data is set to the non-probability variation state data), the data indicating whether or not the state is in the probability variation control mode is set to the data indicating that the probability variation control mode is not being performed. . For this reason, the variation executed during the certain variation control mode due to the difference in the number of variation displays performed in the other variation display unit, for example, the second variation display unit during the variation display determined not to be controlled to the certain variation state. There is no difference in the number of displays. As a result, since unfairness does not occur between players, it is possible to enhance the interest of the players.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, the example is shown in which the symbols are variably displayed again as the secondary re-lottery display. However, the secondary re-lottery display is not limited to this, and the secondary re-lottery display may be performed by displaying an image other than symbols, for example, by displaying whether or not a certain character is used to indicate whether or not a certain change state is established. You may make it perform a lottery display.

(11) In the above-described embodiment, as the secondary re-lottery display, a display that produces an effect as to whether or not to achieve from a non-probable big hit to a probable big hit is shown as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a display that provides an effect as to whether or not the player is to be brought from an unfavorable state to an advantageous state may be performed, such as a display that provides the following effects.
(A) The second set number of times from the first set number (for example, 50) to the upper limit value of the variable display number in the probability change control mode used as the end condition of the certain change control mode is greater than the first set number The display which produces the effect of whether it is completed (for example, 100 times).
(B) Whether to increase the upper limit of the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state from the first set number (for example, 7 times) to the second set number (for example, 15 times) larger than the first set number A display that produces such an effect.
(C) One open time in each of the first special variable winning device 20 and the second special variable winning device 22 in the big hit gaming state is set from the first set time to the first set time (for example, 15 seconds). A display that provides an effect as to whether or not it will be completed in a long second set time (eg, 30 seconds).

  (12) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the secondary re-lottery display is performed at the end of the big hit gaming state is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the secondary re-lottery display may be performed at the following timing. For example, the secondary re-lottery display may be performed at a predetermined timing other than at the end of the big hit gaming state in the big hit gaming state, such as the timing of switching rounds in the big hit gaming state. For example, when the secondary re-lottery display is performed at the timing of switching the round in the big hit gaming state, a command such as an effect control command for designating a round switching timing such as a round start command for instructing the start of each round is displayed on the display control board. When 80 is received, the display control microcomputer 800 performs control to execute the secondary re-lottery display. Further, for example, the secondary re-lottery display can be executed at one of a predetermined timing other than the end of the big hit gaming state in the big hit gaming state as described above and a timing at the end of the big hit gaming state. Alternatively, random determination means such as a random counter may be used to randomly select and determine at which timing among these timings the secondary re-lottery display is to be executed. In addition, when the secondary re-lottery display is performed at a timing other than the end of the big-hit gaming state in the big-hit gaming state, a random counter such as a random counter indicates the number of rounds in the big-hit gaming state to be executed. You may make it determine at random using a determination means.

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the secondary re-lottery display is always performed when the final display result when the variable display is performed is a combination of the uncertain variable big hit symbol is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the final display result is a combination of uncertain change big hit symbols, a random determination means such as a random counter is used to randomly select and determine whether or not to execute the secondary re-lottery display. You may do it.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in (J) to (M) of FIG. 31, due to the fact that the secondary re-lottery display is performed, the probability variation big hit (combination of the probability variation big hit symbol) and An example is given in which an effect is given that gives an impression. However, as described above, since the probability variation flag is already set at the start of variation of the variation display in which the secondary re-lottery display is performed as described above, the fact that the probability variation big hit has already been notified accordingly. You may make it perform the effect which performs the display to perform in a secondary re-lottery display.

  (15) In the above-described embodiment, each of the two variable winning devices (the first variable winning device 15 and the second variable winning device 17) that performs the opening / closing operation is used as the starting winning port. An example in which a winning opening 14 and a second starting winning opening 16) are provided is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one of the two start winning ports may be a start winning port provided in the variable winning device, and the other may be provided as a start winning port that is not opened / closed and not provided in the variable winning device.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, in the big hit game state, the hit ball is in the V winning prize in the big winning opening while the big winning opening (the first big winning opening 21 and the second big winning opening 23) is open (during the round). An example is shown in which a continuation right is generated and a transition is made to the next round when a winning is made in the area and detected by the V winning switch (first V winning switch 64, second V winning switch 69). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of hitting balls is won in the big prize opening during each round (excluding the final round) and the big prize opening is opened without providing a V prize switch. Or when a certain period of time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the big prize opening, the control for shifting to the next round may be performed.

  (17) In the above-described embodiment, the symbol stop command (first symbol stop command, second symbol stop command) is used as a command for stopping the variable display of the decorative symbols (first decorative symbol, second decorative symbol). ) Was used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and without using the symbol stop command, the display control microcomputer 800 monitors the elapsed time from the start of the variation display of the decorative symbol, and after the variation display is started, the variation pattern command Control may be performed to stop the variation display of the decorative symbol when the variation time designated by is passed.

  (18) In the above-described embodiment, in the special game process of FIG. 16, the means (S711) for counting the number of times of change at the time of probability change, which is the number of times of change display in the probability change control mode, and the number of times of change display in the time reduction control mode. The example which provided separately the means (S716) which counts the frequency | count fluctuation | variation at a time reduction was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one means for counting the number of times of variable display (step for counting the number of times of variable display) may be provided. In this case, when it is determined in S701 that the first side big hit is not determined, the number of times of variable display is counted, and when the probability change flag is set, the routine proceeds to S712, where the number of times of change display becomes the number of times of probability change end. On the other hand, when the probability variation flag is reset and the time reduction flag is set, the process proceeds to S717 to determine whether or not the number of times of change display has reached the number of time reduction ends. Also good. Further, in the special game process of FIG. 16, an example in which the number of fluctuations is up-counted for each of the means for counting the number of fluctuations at the time of probability change (S711) and the means for counting the number of fluctuations at the time of shortening (S716) is shown. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these counting means may be configured to down-count the number of fluctuations. In such a configuration, when changing to the probability variation control mode, the same value as the number of times of probability variation end is set as the number of times of probability variation end, and when the value is counted down in S711 and becomes zero in S712, Judge that it became. Similarly, when shifting to the time reduction control mode, the same value as the number of time reduction ends is set as the number of changes in time reduction, and when the value is counted down in S716 and becomes 0 in S717, it is determined that the number of time reduction ends has been reached. To do.

  (19) In the above-described embodiment, for each of the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit, a notice effect that notifies that a big hit will be made when it is determined that a big hit will be made. Explained that there may be a jackpot notice. Such a jackpot notice may be performed as follows. For example, in the first variation display unit and the second variation display unit, as one of the variation display units, a notice effect that notifies that the variation display result in the other variation display unit is a big hit. You may make it make a big hit notice. More specifically, in one of the fluctuation display sections, when the start condition of the fluctuation display when the final display result is a combination of the big hit symbols is satisfied, the big fluctuation notice is performed in the other fluctuation display section. May be. Further, in either one of the fluctuation display sections, the big hit announcement may be made in the other fluctuation display section at a predetermined timing after the start of the fluctuation display when the final display result is a combination of the big hit symbols. Good.
