Description

  The present invention is a pachinko gaming machine of a type that obtains a random number based on a game ball entering a starting port and shifts to a special gaming state advantageous to the player when the random number is a winning value, In particular, the present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that performs lottery separately based on the entrance of game balls into different start openings.

Currently, the most popular pachinko machines are usually designed with three rows of symbols moving up and down or left and right on a liquid crystal display, etc. As a result of stopping after a certain time, when a predetermined mode (for example, “777”) is aligned on the active line, a model of a type that shifts to a special game in which a variable winning opening in a closed state is opened in a normal game (so-called “digital patch” Or a conventional model called “first type”) (for example, Patent Document 1). Here, many of this type of pachinko gaming machines are based on the winnings with a predetermined number (for example, 4) as the upper limit when a game ball enters the starting port during symbol variation or special game state. It has a hold function that puts symbol variations on hold. When the hold state is released, the symbol variation is performed in the order of the hold.

For example, in the case of the series type, the hold release based on the entrance to one start opening and the hold release based on the entrance to the other start opening are alternately executed, or the entrance to both start openings In accordance with the order, the release of the hold based on the entrance to one of the starting ports is executed. For example, in the latter case, when a ball is entered in the order of the first start port, the second start port, and the second start port, the first special symbol, the second special symbol, and the second special symbol are variably displayed. On the other hand, in the case of the parallel type, the release of the hold based on the entrance to each start opening is independent of the order of the entrance to each start opening regardless of the variation in the identification information based on the entrance to the other start opening. And executed.

  As described above, in the first adjustment mode, an overload release requirement is imposed on the release of the hold of one identification information as compared with the second adjustment mode, such as whether the other identification information is in a state where variation is prohibited. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide means capable of smoothly executing mode switching while avoiding complication of game play even in a situation where the overload release requirement exists.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the present specification will be described. First, “Pitching” is a concept that encompasses not only winnings that a winning ball pays out, but also anything that may cause some profit to the player, including so-called “through-chuckers” and winning holes. . “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, letters, symbols, etc. (for example, special symbols, decorative symbols, ordinary symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Random number” of “first random number” and “second random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used for lottery (lottery by electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine For example, so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers” related to the transition of special games, “variation to determine the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol” Examples include “mode determining random numbers”, “symbol determining random numbers” for determining stop symbols, “hit symbol determining random numbers” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Further, for example, one random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). “Store the first random number” and “Store the second random number” not only store all the obtained random numbers, but also record only the “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, for example. Including the case. “Based on random number” includes not only the case where the variation content of the identification information and the stop identification information are determined directly from the random number, but also the case where the identification information is indirectly determined from matters determined directly from the random number ( For example, when determining the stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol, determining the special symbol directly from the random number and determining the decorative symbol from the special symbol). The “identification information change start condition” means, for example, that the identification information or other identification information is not changing or is not in a special game in the first adjustment mode, and in the second adjustment mode, the identification information Indicates that it is not fluctuating or playing special games. “Predetermined condition” means, for example, a case where the number of variable standby states stored in the hold information storage means has not reached the upper limit.

  According to the present invention (1), when both the first identification information and the second identification information are changing, the second adjustment mode is changed to the first adjustment mode until the change of any of the identification information is stopped. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the complexity of the game and to smoothly execute the mode switching.

  According to the present invention (2), in addition to the above-described effect, when the mode switching from the first adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode is performed, the mode is configured to be executed immediately without waiting, and therefore the standby is made uselessly. The effect that the complication of the processing based on that can be avoided is produced.

  According to the present invention (3), in addition to the above-mentioned effect, when the second adjustment mode is switched to the first adjustment mode, the hold release order on the first game side and the second game side is determined. There is an effect that mode switching from the mode to the first adjustment mode can be executed more smoothly.

  The best mode (including various modifications) of the present invention will be described below. The following best mode is a model in which two conventional first-class pachinko machines are mixed (for convenience, it is referred to as a first-class first-class multifunction machine), but is not limited to this. It is also within the scope of the present invention to be applied to other gaming machines (for example, gaming machines having two conventional first type functions and one conventional second type function). It should be noted that this is the best mode, and the following modes are related to the location and function of each means, the order of each step for various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to.

  Here, each of the best mode and the first to eighth modified examples described below shifts to the second adjustment mode that is a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when a predetermined condition is satisfied. . First, the best mode is a type in which the state shifts to a pseudo-probability varying game state when the number of reserved balls in the special symbol of the first game and the number of reserved balls in the special symbol of the second game satisfy a predetermined condition. In addition, the first modified example is a type that shifts to a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when a specific mode (for example, a specific reach mode) is selected as the variation mode. The second modified example is a type that shifts to a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the number of variations of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number. The third modified example is a type that shifts to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state when a specific symbol (for example, a predetermined winning symbol or a predetermined lose symbol) is selected as the stop symbol. The fourth modified example is a type that shifts to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the gaming state transitions (for example, transitions to the probability variation state). The fifth modified example is a type that shifts to a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the total number of reserved balls of the special symbol of the first game and the number of reserved balls of the special symbol of the second game is equal to or greater than a predetermined number {this The difference from the best mode is that, while the best mode performs the determination process of the predetermined condition, the predetermined condition is fixed from the beginning (the total number of pending Ver)}. The sixth modified example is a type that shifts to a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the number of reserved balls of the special symbol of the first game and the number of reserved balls of the special symbol of the second game satisfy predetermined conditions {this best mode The difference is that, in the present best mode, the predetermined condition is determined, whereas the predetermined condition is fixed from the beginning (the number of each hold + the total number of holds Ver)}. The seventh modified example is a type that shifts to a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when a predetermined time is reached. And the 8th example of a change is a type which transfers to a pseudo-probability fluctuation | variation game state, when a predetermined number wins a general winning opening.

  Further, regarding the present best mode and the modified example, in order to avoid a plurality of special games from being executed at the same time, “forced pause type” (type A) and “forced loss symbol replacement type” (type B) exists.

In this case, the winning order “sixth” with respect to the winning is stored in the hold order temporary storage unit 1211. On the other hand, if step 1308 is No, step 1309 is skipped. Next, in step 1312, the first special figure reservation means 1131 stores the game content determination random number in the first special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1131a. Next, in step 1314, whether or not the second special figure starting port entrance judging means 1112 has received the second special figure starting port entrance information from the second entrance detecting device 2211 of the second special figure starting port 2210. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the second special figure lottery means 1122 refers to the second special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a, and determines whether or not the holding ball is not the upper limit (for example, four pieces). . In the case of Yes in step 1316, in step 1318, the second special figure lottery means 1122 acquires a game content determination random number (second random number). In step 1320, the game state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 to confirm whether or not the current game state is the first adjustment mode. In the case of Yes in step 1320, in step 1321, the inter-game adjustment unit 1200 releases these holds based on the number of holds in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a and the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a. The link release (winning) order is stored in the on-hold order temporary storage unit 1211 so that the order is released after being released. For example, a new prize is awarded to the second special figure starting port 2210 in a situation where three pieces are held in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a and two pieces are held in the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a. In this case, the winning order “sixth” with respect to the winning is stored in the hold order temporary storage unit 1211. On the other hand, if No at step 1320, step 1321 is skipped. Next, in step 1324, the second special figure holding means 1132 stores the game content determination random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a, and proceeds to the next processing (step 12). In the case of No in step 1302 and step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1314, and in the case of No in step 1314 and step 1316, the process proceeds to the next process (step 12).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, at step 1600, main controller 1000 executes an adjustment mode switching determination process to be described later. Next, at step 1700, main controller 1000 executes an adjustment mode switching execution process to be described later. Next, in step 100, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 to confirm whether or not the current gaming state is the first adjustment mode. In the case of Yes in step 100, in step 102, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 confirms the current gaming state by referring to the first gaming state temporary storage unit 1191 and the second gaming state temporary storage unit 1192, and The serial mode symbol variation timing determination means 1231 determines whether or not the variation timing of the first symbol has been reached based on the confirmation information. In the case of Yes in step 102, main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process described later in step 1400 (1), and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 102, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later, and proceeds to step 1500.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 100, that is, in the second adjustment mode, in step 1400 (3), main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process described later. In step 1400 (4), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later, and proceeds to step 1500.

  Next, at step 1500, main controller 1000 executes special game operating condition determination processing described later. Next, at step 1200, main controller 1000 executes an electric chew drive determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process at step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an adjustment mode switching determination process, which is a characteristic process of the present invention, related to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and determines whether any special symbol is changing. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604, the adjustment mode control means 1230 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233 and determines whether or not the hold condition maintenance flag is off. Here, the “holding condition maintenance flag” is a flag that means that the previously determined holding condition is still valid. In the case of Yes in step 1604, in step 1606, the adjustment mode control means 1230 determines the hold condition by lottery, for example. Here, as an example of the holding condition, (1) the total number of reserved balls related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is 4 or more, (2) the number of reserved balls related to the first special symbol is This is a case where all the conditions of 1 or more and (3) the number of reserved balls related to the second special symbol is 3 or more are satisfied. Next, in step 1608, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the hold condition maintenance flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233. Thus, the condition is maintained until any special symbol is stopped (see step 1622 described later). Next, in step 1610, the information transmitting means 1300 transmits the hold condition information to the sub side, and proceeds to step 1612. The sub-side that has received the information performs a process of notifying the player of the condition information when a predetermined condition is satisfied, as will be described later. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1604, the processing of steps 1606 to 1610 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step 1612. In this best mode, the case where all the special symbols are in the stop condition is illustrated as the timing for turning off the hold condition maintaining flag. However, the reset is performed when any one of the special symbols is in the stop state. You may comprise as follows.

  Next, in step 1612, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1131 a and the second special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1132 a, and satisfies the hold condition determined in the step 1606. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1612, in step 1614, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the first adjustment mode. In the case of Yes in step 1614, in step 1616, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the second adjustment mode switching execution flag, and proceeds to the next processing (adjustment mode switching execution processing in step 1700). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, in step 1618, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the second adjustment mode. . In the case of Yes in step 1618, in step 1620, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the first adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233, and performs the next processing (adjustment mode switching execution in step 1700). Process).

  If No in step 1602, that is, if any special symbol is not changing, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 turns off the hold condition maintenance flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 in step 1622. . In other words, the hold condition previously determined at this timing is reset, and if any special symbol starts to change again, a new hold condition is determined. In step 1624, the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits information indicating that the determined hold condition has been reset to the first effect display control unit 2150 and / or the second effect display control unit 2250 side. The process proceeds to the adjustment process (adjustment mode switching execution process in step 1700). In addition, also in the case of No in step 1614 and step 1618, the process proceeds to the next process (adjustment mode switching execution process in step 1700).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of adjustment mode switching execution processing according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in step 1704, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and determines whether or not the first adjustment mode switching execution flag is on, that is, the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo). It is determined whether or not to switch from the probability variation gaming state) to the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal gaming state). In the case of Yes in step 1704, in step 1705, the gaming state confirmation means 1210 refers to the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151 a-1 and the second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152 a-1, so that the switching timing ( It is determined whether or not any one of the symbol variations has stopped). In the case of Yes in step 1705, in step 1706, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 rewrites the adjustment mode stored in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 to the first adjustment mode, thereby adjusting the adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode. Switch to mode. In step 1708, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131 a and the second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132 a, thereby storing the stored number information. After the acquisition, the adjustment mode control means 1230 sets the link release order based on the number-of-holds information (for example, sets in a form that is mechanically allocated alternately). Next, in step 1720, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 turns off the first adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and proceeds to the next processing (step 100).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1704, in step 1722, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the second adjustment mode switching execution flag is on, that is, the first It is determined whether or not to switch from the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal gaming state) to the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state). In the case of Yes in step 1722, in step 1710, the adjustment mode control means 1230 rewrites the adjustment mode stored in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233 to the second adjustment mode, thereby adjusting the adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode. Switch to mode. In step 1712, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 resets the link release order stored in the hold order temporary storage unit 1211. Next, in step 1724, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 turns off the second adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and proceeds to the next processing (step 100). In addition, also when No is determined in Step 1705 and Step 1722, the process proceeds to the next process (Step 100).

  Next, FIG. 11 shows a first special symbol display process (second special display) in the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal gaming state) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a symbol display process. First, in step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied.

  Here, in addition to the fact that the variation start condition is not during special game or symbol variation, in the adjustment mode (first adjustment mode), the symbol variation start permission from the adjustment mode control means 1230 may be down. It becomes a condition. That is, the adjustment mode control means 1230 refers to the hold order temporary storage means 1211 to check whether the current hold release is related to the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and based on the confirmation information. Then, the change start permission command is transmitted to the first special figure content determination means 1141 or the second special figure content determination means 1142.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1404, in step 1406, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first special figure probability variation gaming state lottery table 1141a-2 (first 2 special figure probability variation gaming state lottery table 1142a-2) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1404, in step 1408, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) sets the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a).

In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first special figure time reduction gaming state lottery table 1141a-3 (first 2 Special drawing time reduction gaming state lottery table 1142a-3) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408, in step 1412, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as the first special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1141a-1 ( The second special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1142a-1) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Next, in step 1414, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation stored temporarily is read out. In step 1416, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) refers to each set lottery table, and game content determination random numbers (for example, winning random numbers and special symbol determination random numbers). The stop symbol related to the special symbol is determined based on the game, and the variation mode of the special symbol is determined based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the variation mode determination random number). 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored. In step 1417, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1417, in step 1418, the game control means 1100 turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1417 is No, step 1418 is skipped. Next, in step 1419, the information transmission means 1300 performs first effect display control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 1416 and the current gaming state. It transmits to the means 2150 (2nd effect display control means 2250) side. Next, in step 1420, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time (the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1416) to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). In step 1422, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started in accordance with the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1446, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). In step 1434, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1436, the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the first effect display control unit 2150 (second effect display control unit 2250) side. Next, in step 1438, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) displays the first special symbol display unit 2131 (first special symbol display device 2130). The special symbol variation display on the second special figure display unit 2231) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as a symbol. Next, in step 1440, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . In step 1442, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151 a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152 a) is changed to a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151 a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152 a- 1) is reset. Next, at step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process at step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1444, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If yes in step 1444, the process proceeds to step 1434, and if no, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 12 shows a first special symbol display process (second) in the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (3) {step 1400 (4)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a special symbol display process. First, in step 1402A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied.

  Here, the change start condition is only that the special game is not being played and that the first special symbol (second special symbol) is not changing with respect to the start of change of the first special symbol (second special symbol). That is, unlike the first adjustment mode, when the first special symbol (second special symbol) starts to change, the fact that the second special symbol (first special symbol) is changing does not constitute a variable start restriction condition.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step 1402A, in step 1404A, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) is the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). , It is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 1404A, in step 1406A, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first special figure probability variation gaming state lottery table 1141a-2 (first 2 special figure probability variation gaming state lottery table 1142a-2) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1404A, in step 1408A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) sets the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Referring to it, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1408A, in step 1410A, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first special figure time reduction gaming state lottery table 1141a-3 (first 2 Special drawing time reduction gaming state lottery table 1142a-3) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408A, in step 1412A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) uses the first special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1141a-1 ( The second special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1142a-1) is set, and the process proceeds to Step 1414A.

  Next, in step 1414A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation stored temporarily is read out. In step 1416A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) refers to each set lottery table, and game content determination random numbers (for example, winning random numbers and special symbol determination random numbers). The stop symbol related to the special symbol is determined based on the game, and the variation mode of the special symbol is determined based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the variation mode determination random number). 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored. In step 1417A, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a hit. In the case of Yes in step 1417A, in step 1418A, the game control unit 1100 turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1417A is No, step 1418A is skipped. Next, in step 1419A, the information transmitting means 1300 performs first effect display control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 1416A and the current gaming state. It transmits to the means 2150 (2nd effect display control means 2250) side. Next, in step 1420A, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time (the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1416A) to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1422A, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) performs the first special symbol display unit 2131 (first special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started in accordance with the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1446A, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). .

  Here, before detailed description of the following processing, an outline of timer suspension processing, which is a feature of the present type A in the second adjustment mode, will be described. In the process, the first (second) special game is executed during the second (first) special game by temporarily stopping the timer related to the first (second) special symbol fluctuation during the second (first) special game. 2) Prevent the transition to special games. That is, during execution of the second (first) special game, the first (second) special symbol continues to fluctuate.

  Therefore, returning to the flowchart, in step 1424A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, so that the current special game related flag (for example, special game transition) It is checked whether or not the permission flag and the special game execution flag are off, that is, whether or not the second (first) special game is currently being executed.

  In the case of Yes in step 1424A, in step 1426A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1), thereby Check if the special symbol variation timer is stopped. In the case of Yes in step 1426A, in step 1428A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stop means 1222b is in the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 which has been paused). ) Then, in step 1429A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol variation restart signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 (second effect display control unit 2250) side, and proceeds to step 1434A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424A, in step 1430A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the special symbol variation timer is currently operating. In the case of Yes in step 1430A, in step 1432A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stopping means 1222b temporarily activates the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1) in operation. Stop. Then, in step 1433A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol change pause signal to the first effect display control unit 2150 (second effect display control unit 2250) side, and the process proceeds to step 1434A. Note that the process also proceeds to step 1434A even in the case of No in step 1426A and step 1430A.

  Next, in step 1434A, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434A, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434A, in step 1436A, the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the first effect display control unit 2150 (second effect display control unit 2250) side. Next, in step 1438A, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) displays the first special symbol display unit 2131 (first special symbol display device 2130). The special symbol variation display on the second special figure display unit 2231) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as a symbol. Next, in step 1440A, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . Then, in step 1442A, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) makes a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset. Next, in step 1450A, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402A, in step 1444A, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in Step 1444A, the process proceeds to Step 1424A, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in Step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (3) A {steps 1450 (2) and (4) A} in FIGS. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). In addition, also when it is No by step 1452 and step 1456, it transfers to the following process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the first condition determination unit 1171a (second condition determination unit 1172a) refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the first condition determination unit 1171a (second condition determination unit 1172a) displays the first special symbol display unit of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). It is determined whether or not the special symbol displayed on 2131 (second special figure display unit 2231) has stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506 and step 1508, the first condition determination means 1171a (second condition determination means 1172a) is a special game in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). Turn on the transition permission flag and turn off the hit flag. In step 1550, main controller 1000 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 1200). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in steps 1552 and 1554, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily turns off the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. , Reset the time reduction counter 1181a (time reduction counter value = 0). In step 1556, the specific game control unit 1180 determines whether the first special symbol (second special symbol) stopped on the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display unit 2231) is per probability variation. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1556, in step 1558 and step 1560, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, respectively. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). The reason for setting the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) on the first game side and the second game side is to ensure that the first game and the second game are in the same game state. It is. That is, in the case where the first game and the second game are in the normal game state, if the first game side is near the probability variation, the second game side also enters the probability variation game state after the end of the first special game.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1556, in step 1562, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether the special symbol stopped on the first special figure display unit 2131 (second special figure display unit 2231) is per time reduction variation. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1562, in step 1564, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flags in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, respectively. Next, in step 1566, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 100) as the time / count counter value in the time / count counter 1181a, and proceeds to the next process (electric drive / drive determination process in step 1200). To do. Even in the case of No in step 1562, the process proceeds to the next process (electric drive / drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the electric drive driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a, and determines whether or not the electric-chu-opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1153 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the general figure content determining unit 1143 accesses the general figure holding information temporary storage unit 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the general content determination means 1143 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a and is currently in the special game (special game transition permission flag ON or It is determined whether or not the special game execution flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 1208, in step 1210, the general content determination unit 1143 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a to determine whether or not the current gaming state is in the easy release state (time reduction flag is on). To do. In the case of Yes in step 1210, in FIG. 1212, in the step 1212, the general drawing content determination means 1143 sets the drawing time reduction lottery table 1143a-2, whereas in the case of No in step 1210, in the step 1214, The general map content determining means 1143 sets the general map lottery table 1143a-1. In step 1216, the general symbol content determination means 1143 determines a stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball. Next, in step 1218, the normal time change time management means 1153a sets the normal time change management timer 1153a-1 to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds for short-time games, normal games) based on the set table. Is set to 30 seconds). Then, in step 1220, the general symbol control means 1153 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133 a after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the normal symbol, and the normal-picture control means. 1153 starts normal symbol variation display on the general diagram display unit 2321 after starting the common diagram variation management timer 1153a-1. Next, in step 1224, the normal time fluctuation time management unit 1153a refers to the normal time fluctuation management timer 1153a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the universal map control unit 1153 finalizes and displays the stop symbol determined by the universal map content determination unit 1143 in the above step 1216 on the universal map display unit 2321. In step 1228, the normal symbol control means 1153 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1230, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 sets the open timer 1162 based on the set table for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds for short-time games, and for normal games). 0.5 seconds). Next, in step 1234, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric-chu-opening flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1236, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the first electric accessory 2112 of the first special figure starting port 2110. Next, in step 1238, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the opening timer 1162 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in steps 1240 and 1242, the electric-chu-opening / closing control means 1160 closes the first electric accessory 2112 of the first special figure starting port 2110 and also temporarily stores auxiliary game related information 1193a. The inside electric-chu-opening flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1238. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1224. If No in Step 1208, the process proceeds to Step 1214, and Steps 1206, 1224, In the case of No in step 1230 and step 1238, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 16 in FIG. First, in step 90, the special game control means 1170 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a so that the special game is the first of the first special game and the second special game. It is confirmed whether or not it is a special game, that is, whether or not the special game transition permission flag or the special game execution flag related to the first special game is on. In the case of Yes in step 90, in step 2100 (1), main controller 1000 performs a first special game execution process to be described later, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 90, in step 2100 (2), main controller 1000 performs a second special game execution process to be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000). .

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the first special game execution process and the second special game execution process according to the subroutines of step 2100 (1) and step 2100 (2) in FIG. First, in step 2102, the first special game execution means 1171b (second special game execution means 1172b) refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a), and the special game transition permission flag is set. Determine whether it is on. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the first effect display control means 2150 (second effect display control means 2250) side. Next, in Step 2106 and Step 2108, the first special game execution means 1171b (second special game execution means 1172b) permits the special game transition in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). The flag is turned off and the special game execution flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 2112. On the other hand, if No in Step 2102, in Step 2110, the first special game execution means 1171 b (second special game execution means 1172 b) determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 2110, the process proceeds to step 2112. In the case of No in step 2110, the first special game execution means 1171b (second special game execution means 1172b) determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and the next process (the prize ball of step 5000) (Dispensing process).

  Next, in step 2112, the first special game execution means 1171 b (second special game execution means 1172 b) refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191 a (second flag temporary storage means 1192 a), and the round continuation flag is turned on. In other words, it is determined whether or not the round is halfway. In the case of Yes in step 2112, that is, when the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 2123 without performing the processes of steps 2114 to 2122 described in detail below. On the other hand, if No in step 2112, that is, if it is just before the start of the round, first in step 2114, the first special game execution means 1171 b (second special game execution means 1172 b) 1171c-1 (second special game timer 1172c-1) is cleared to zero and set to a predetermined value (for example, 30 seconds). Next, in step 2116, the first special game execution means 1171b (second special game execution means 1172b) wins the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c (second special game related information temporary storage means 1192c). Clear the ball counter to zero. In step 2118, the first special game execution means 1171b (second special game execution means 1172b) counts the number of rounds in the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c (second special game related information temporary storage means 1192c). Add 1 to the counter. Note that the number of rounds stored in the first special game related information temporary storage means 1191c (second special game related information temporary storage means 1192c) is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and thereafter rounds are repeated. It is incremented by 1 every time it goes. Next, in step 2120, the first special game execution means 1171b (second special game execution means 1172b) turns on the round continuation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . In step 2122, the first special game executing means 1171 b (second special game executing means 1172 b) makes the first electric combination 2122 (second electric combination) of the first big prize opening 2120 (second big prize opening 2220).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the operation navigation display control process according to the subroutine of step 6900 in FIG. Here, this process is a process of controlling display of transition condition information from the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal game state) to the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation game state) when a predetermined condition is satisfied. . In the best mode, the navigation is configured to be executed on one of the first effect display device 2140 and the second effect display device 2240, but both are executed in cooperation. Or may be configured to be executed by other means such as a side lamp or sound.

  Therefore, this flowchart will be described. First, in Step 6902, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) is operated by the first main side information temporary storage means 2151a (second main side information temporary storage means 2251a). , It is determined whether or not the hold condition information (see step 1610 in FIG. 9) has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6902, in step 6904, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) turns on the hold condition determined flag. Next, in step 6906, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) refers to the first main side information temporary storage means 2151a (second main side information temporary storage means 2251a), and the main control device. It is determined whether hold condition reset information (see step 1624 in FIG. 9) has been received from the 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6906, in step 6908, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) turns off the hold condition determined flag. Next, in step 6910, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) determines whether or not the navigation generation requirement is satisfied.

  Here, as the navigation generation requirement, for example, when the stop pattern of the decorative symbol is in a predetermined mode, or when the decorative pattern is in a predetermined mode, etc. For example, it may be based on the result on the main side, such as the number of times the special symbol fluctuates or the gaming state.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart again, if Yes in step 6910, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) determines in step 6912 whether or not the hold condition determined flag is on. . In the case of Yes in step 6912, in step 6914, the first display control means 2152 sends the hold condition information to the first drawing display unit 2141 (second device) of the first effect display device 2140 (second effect display device 2240).

If NO in step 6902, the process proceeds to step 6906. If NO in step 6906, the process proceeds to step 6910. If NO in step 6910 and step 6912, the next process (display control during special game) is performed. The processing shifts to processing 6200).

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the special game display control processing according to the subroutine of step 6200 in FIG. First, in step 6201, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 6201, in Step 6202, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) refers to the first main side information temporary storage means 2151a (second main side information temporary storage means 2251a). Then, it is determined whether or not a special game start signal is received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in Step 6202, in Step 6203 and Step 6204, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) turns on the special gaming flag and also displays the first effect display device 2140 (second effect). The jackpot start display is performed on the first drawing display unit 2141 (second drawing display unit 2241) of the display device 2240). In step 6206, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) displays the first equipment display portion 2141 (second equipment display) of the first effect display device 2140 (second effect display device 2240). Section 2241), the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes are sequentially displayed based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main controller 1000 in step 2123. In step 6208, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) refers to the first main side information temporary storage means 2151a (second main side information temporary storage means 2251a), and the main controller 1000 It is determined whether or not a special game end signal is received from the side. In the case of Yes in step 6208, in step 6210, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) causes the first equipment display section 2141 (first production display device 2140) to display the first equipment display 2141 (second production display device 2240). The jackpot end display is performed on the second figure display unit 2241). In step 6211, the first display control means 2152 (second display control means 2252) turns off the special game in-progress flag and proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display control process 6100 (1)}. If NO in step 6201, the process proceeds to step 6206, and if NO in step 6202 and step 6208, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display control process 6100 (1)}.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode (type A) will be described with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 show how the symbols fluctuate in each adjustment mode.

  First, the timing chart of FIG. 23 shows how the first symbol and the second symbol fluctuate in the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal game state). In this mode, only one of the symbols changes according to the winning order of the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port. Specifically, in this example, the winning order to the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port is “1-1” → “1-2” → “2-1” → “1-3”. “→“ 2-2 ”→“ 2-3 ”→“ 1-4 ”→“ 1-5 ”. Therefore, the first symbol and the second symbol vary in the order.

  Next, the timing chart of FIG. 24 shows how the first symbol and the second symbol fluctuate in the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state). In this mode, the first symbol and the second symbol are allowed to fluctuate simultaneously. Specifically, the first symbol and the second symbol change in the order of winning in the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port. Here, as a result of the fluctuation of “2-3” in the second symbol, the game shifts to the second special game. In response to this, when “2-3” of the 2nd symbol stops at the winning symbol, the variation of “1-4” of the 1st symbol that has passed Ta since the start of the variation is the second special game. After the second special game is finished, the pause is canceled and the remaining time Tb is changed by “1-4”. Incidentally, “1-4” in the first symbol is won internally, and the hit state is maintained internally even in the pause state. And after "1-4" of the 1st symbol stops, it shifts to the 1st special game.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 25, it will be specifically described in what process the transition from the pseudo normal gaming state (first adjustment mode) to the pseudo probability variation gaming state (second adjustment mode) is performed. . First, when the player rotates the launch handle 116, a game ball is released into the game area 120. The game balls flow down the game area 120, and some of the game balls win the first special figure start port 2110 and the second special figure start port 2210. Here, in the quasi-normal game state, only one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is allowed to change, so the first special figure is started while either one of the symbol changes is being executed. Up to four game balls won in the mouth 2110 and the second special figure starting port 2210 are temporarily stored in separate holding devices (first special figure holding means 1131 and second special figure holding means 1132). Here, in this example, (1) the number of holdings of the first special symbol is one or more, (2) the number of holdings of the second special symbol is three or more, (3) the total number of both holdings When the three requirements of 4 or more are satisfied, it is internally determined to shift to the pseudo probability variation gaming state. In this situation, when the above three requirements are satisfied, the pseudo normal game state is shifted to the pseudo probability variation game state. Then, for example, when the above three requirements are not satisfied due to, for example, stopping the launch of the game ball, the game falls from the pseudo-probability variation game state to the pseudo-normal game state.

  Here, this best mode is provided with a mode transition navigation system. In this example, the navigation execution requirement is satisfied when either the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol stops at a loss symbol of “776”, and the navigation non-execution requirement is satisfied when the symbol stops again. It shall be. In this situation, as shown in FIG. 1, when the second decorative symbol stops at “776”, a message “Navi generation requirement satisfied! Congratulations” is displayed on the second special symbol display device 2230. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 25, a navigation display is displayed on the first special symbol display device 2130 to “turn on one or more left side and three or more right side and a total of four or more holding lamps”. As a result, the player can shift to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state more efficiently.

  Next, the B type (losing stop symbol forced stop type) of the best mode will be described. Here, when the first (second) special symbol is changing during execution of the second (first) special game, the type is forced to stop the first (second) special symbol with the stop-losing symbol. By stopping the game, the transition to the first (second) special game is prevented.

  First, functional features of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. A pachinko machine related to type B forces a special symbol related to the other game when one of the first game and the second game shifts to a special game instead of the type A special figure variation timer temporary stop means 1222b. It is characterized by having a lost symbol forced replacement means 1222c for making a lost symbol.

  Next, processing characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Here, FIG. 26 is a flowchart relating to the processing on the main side, and more specifically, the first special symbol display processing (second special display) relating to the subroutine of step 1400 (3) {1400 (4)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a symbol display process. It should be noted that most of them are the same as those in FIG. 11 and are different only in that Steps 1424B to 1431B exist. Therefore, only the difference will be described. After the special symbol starts to change in step 1422B, the game state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a (first flag temporary storage unit 1191a) in step 1424B. Then, it is determined whether or not a special game related flag (for example, a special game transition permission flag or a special game execution flag) is off, that is, whether or not a special game is currently being executed. If YES in step 1424B, the process proceeds to step 1434B without performing the loss stop symbol forced stop processing according to this flow. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424B, in step 1425B, first, in step 1425B, the information display means 1300 first confirms the command to forcibly stop the first effect display control means 2150 (second effect display control means 2250) with a lost pattern. Send. Next, in step 1427B, the lost symbol forced replacement unit 1222c forces the stop symbol stored in the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b) to the lost stop symbol. And the operation avoidance execution unit 1222 clears the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1) to zero. Thereby, the set loss stop symbol is fixedly displayed on the first special figure display unit 2131 (second special figure display unit 2231). In step 1429B, the operation avoidance control unit 1220 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1429B, in step 1431B, the operation avoidance control unit 1220 turns off the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). As a result, not only the losing symbol of the loss is stopped, but also the winning right is lost internally.

  In addition, the type B is configured such that when the forced loss stop condition is satisfied, the changing symbol is immediately replaced by the loss stop symbol, but the change is extended until the loss mode is displayed as the stop symbol. A so-called “slip” method may be used.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart relating to the processing on the sub-side, and more specifically, the first decorative symbol display control process and the first step related to the subroutines of step 6100 (1) and step 6100 (2) in FIG. It is a flowchart of 2 decoration design display control processing. Most of the steps are the same as those in FIG. 20, and only the processing between step 6109B to step 611B is different. Therefore, only the differences will be described. In step 6109B, the first decorative symbol display control means 2152a (second decorative symbol display control means 2252a) first temporary information temporary storage means 2151a (second main information temporary storage means 2251a). ), It is determined whether or not the signal indicating that the main controller 1000 forcibly stops with the loss stop symbol has been received. In the case of Yes in step 6109B, in step 6111B, the first decorative symbol display control means 2152a (second decorative symbol display control means 2252a) first design of the first effect display device 2140 (second effect display device 2240). On the display unit 2141 (second design display unit 2241), the fluctuating first decorative symbol (second decorative symbol) is forcibly stopped at the loss stop symbol, and the process proceeds to Step 6119B. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6109B, the process proceeds to step 6116B.

  Next, the operation of Type B of the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. Here, the timing chart shows how the first symbol and the second symbol fluctuate in the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state). Even in this mode, the first symbol and the second symbol are allowed to fluctuate simultaneously. Specifically, the first symbol and the second symbol change in the order of winning in the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port. Here, as a result of the fluctuation of “2-3” in the second symbol, the game shifts to the second special game. In response to this, when “2-3” of the second symbol stops at the winning symbol, the variation of “1-4” of the first symbol that has passed Ta since the start of the fluctuation is forcibly lost. Stop at the symbol. In addition, “1-4” of the first symbol is won internally, but the internal hit is invalidated by the forced loss.

  According to this best mode, when both the first identification information and the second identification information are changing, the mode from the second adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode until the change of any one of the identification information stops. Since an extremely simple configuration of waiting for switching is adopted, it is possible to avoid complication of gameability and to smoothly execute mode switching.

  Furthermore, since the configuration is such that the mode switching from the first adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode is performed immediately without waiting, it is possible to avoid complication of processing based on waiting in vain. Play.

  In addition, when switching from the second adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode, the hold release order on the first game side and the second game side is determined, so that the mode switch from the second adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode is further performed. There is an effect that it can be executed smoothly.

  Further, there is an effect that a high-probability lottery state can be substantially constructed by changing the identification information change start permission timing without changing the gaming state, in other words, without changing the lottery table to be referred to. Furthermore, the change of the identification information change start permission timing is a time issue whether the execution time of the lottery right based on the entrance to the starting port is advanced (second adjustment mode) or delayed (first adjustment mode). . Therefore, the fluctuation of the profit state due to fraud is significantly lower than that of the conventional machine that changes the lottery table itself, and even if fraud is performed, the economic loss on the hall side is small. Therefore, as compared with the conventional machine, the mode switching timing (that is, the lottery probability fluctuation timing) can be given flexibility, so that it is possible to enhance the fun of the game. Furthermore, the real game state (for example, the normal game state, the time shortening game state, the probability variation game state) and the pseudo game state (the pseudo normal game state, the pseudo probability variation game state) are arbitrarily combined (for example, all the real game states). (If you combine gaming state with pseudo gaming state, there are 6 types, for example, if you combine only one real gaming state with pseudo gaming state, you get 4 types, and if you combine 2 real gaming states with pseudo gaming state, there are 5 types) As a result, it is possible to construct a plurality of gaming states in which the special game transition probabilities per unit time are substantially different.

  Furthermore, when the second condition is satisfied, the game is configured to shift from the pseudo high probability lottery gaming state to the pseudo low probability lottery state close to the conventional type 1, so that the player understands. There is an effect that it is possible to provide easy game content. Furthermore, in the pseudo low probability lottery state, the game characteristics of the first game and the second game are not canceled out, so that the player can also enjoy the respective game characteristics.

  Furthermore, when a special game based on the fact that one of the identification information is stopped in a predetermined mode (winning mode) is executed, the special game based on the other identification information is not executed at least during the special game (for example, The change is temporarily stopped until the special game is finished, the change is forcibly stopped at the losing symbol, and the change is extended for a predetermined time), so that confusion such as the simultaneous execution of a plurality of special games can be prevented. The player can concentrate on the special game.

  Further, when the number of the first random number and / or the second random number temporarily stored in the first random number storage means and / or the second random number storage means reaches a predetermined value, the pseudo high probability lottery state or the pseudo low probability lottery Since it becomes a state, there exists an effect that it becomes possible to influence the game ball launch by a player. For example, when the predetermined number of reserved balls is reached, the pseudo low probability lottery state is switched to the pseudo high probability lottery state, and when the predetermined number of reserved balls is reached, the pseudo high probability lottery state is changed to the pseudo low probability lottery state. If it is configured to be switched, it will lead to prompting the player to continue to play game balls.

  Next, a first modified example according to the best mode will be described. Here, as described above, the first modified example is a type that shifts to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state when a specific mode (for example, a specific reach mode) is selected as the variation mode. Therefore, the processing characteristics (especially the adjustment mode switching determination process) of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 1630-2, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and is any special symbol changing? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1630-2, in step 1632-2, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and changes any of them. It is determined whether or not the aspect is the specific aspect A. Here, as the specific aspect A, a case where the fluctuation time is a super reach having a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or more can be exemplified. If YES in step 1632-2, in step 1614-2, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and whether or not the current adjustment mode is the first adjustment mode. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1614-2, in step 1616-2, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the second adjustment mode switching execution flag after stopping the symbol fluctuation and performs the next processing (adjustment mode switching execution processing in step 1700). ).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1632-2, in step 1634-2, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and either It is determined whether or not the variation mode is the specific mode B. Here, as the specific aspect B, a case where the fluctuation time is normal reach with a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) is exemplified. In the case of Yes in step 1634-2, in step 1618-2, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the second adjustment mode. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1618-2, in step 1620-2, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the first adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233, and performs the next processing (in step 1700). (Adjustment mode switching execution processing).

  According to this modified example, when the variation mode of the first identification information or the second identification information is the predetermined variation mode, the pseudo high probability lottery state or the pseudo low probability lottery state is set, so that the variation mode in the progress of the game is positioned. Can be changed. In other words, the variation mode up to now has not directly provided any benefit to the player, but according to the present modification, the variation mode itself is directly to the player. It is possible to provide benefits.

  Next, a second modification example according to the best mode will be described. Here, as described above, the second modified example is a type that shifts to a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the number of variations of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number. First, the functional characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko gaming machine includes a first variation counter 1191d for counting the number of variations of the first special symbol and a second variation number counter for counting the number of variations of the second special symbol. 1192d.

  Next, processing characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 11, 12, 26, and 30. First, FIG. 11 shows the first special symbol display process (second special symbol) in the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo normal gaming state) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a display process. Here, the only difference from this best mode is that the processing of step 1403-3 exists. Step 1403-3 is processing in which the adjustment mode control means 1230 adds 1 to the variation counter value in the first variation counter 1191d.

  FIGS. 12 and 26 are flowcharts relating to processing on the main control device 1000 side according to type A (forced suspension type) and type B (forced loss symbol replacement type), respectively. 8 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process (second special symbol display process) in the second adjustment mode (parallel) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (3) {step 1400 (4)} in FIG. Here, the only difference from this best mode is that the processing of Steps 1403A-3 to 1403B-3 exists. Steps 1403A-3 to 1403B-3 are processes in which the adjustment mode control means 1230 adds 1 to the variation counter value in the first variation counter 1191d.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of adjustment mode switching determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 of FIG. First, in step 1630-3, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first variation number counter 1191d and the second variation number counter 1192d, and the variation number counter value is a predetermined value (a value that becomes the second adjustment mode transition condition). ) Is determined. Here, the predetermined value may be either one of the number of fluctuations (for example, every 500 times) or the total of both the number of fluctuations (for example, every 1000 times). In the case of Yes in step 1630-3, in step 1614-3, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the first adjustment mode. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1614-3, in step 1616-3, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the second adjustment mode switching execution flag after stopping the symbol fluctuation and performs the next processing (adjustment mode switching execution processing in step 1700). ).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1630-3, in step 1632-2, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first variation counter 1191d and the second variation counter 1192d, and the variation counter value is a predetermined value ( It is determined whether or not the first adjustment mode transition condition value has been reached. Here, the predetermined value may be either one of the number of fluctuations (for example, the number of fluctuations in the second adjustment mode is 250), or may be the sum of both of the number of fluctuations (for example, the second number). The total number of fluctuations in the adjustment mode is 500). In the case of Yes in step 1632-3, in step 1618-3, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the second adjustment mode. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1618-3, in step 1620-3, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the first adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233, and performs the next processing (in step 1700). (Adjustment mode switching execution processing).

  According to this modified example, when the number of changes of the first identification information and / or the second identification information reaches a predetermined value, the pseudo high probability lottery state or the pseudo low probability lottery state is entered. There is an effect that it is possible to provide a new game aimed at a game element other than a lottery (a lottery for generating a special game) and creating a substantial probability fluctuation state.

  Next, a third modified example according to the best mode will be described. Here, as described above, the third modified example is a type that shifts to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state when a specific symbol (for example, a predetermined winning symbol or a predetermined lose symbol) is selected as the stop symbol. Therefore, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 31, processing characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example (particularly adjustment mode switching determination processing) will be described. First, in step 1630-4, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and is any special symbol changing? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1630-4, in step 1632-4, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b, and has been determined. It is determined whether or not the stop symbol is the specific symbol A. Here, as the specific symbol A, for example, a specific lost symbol (for example, a stop symbol such as “−” or “=”) or a specific jackpot symbol (for example, a stop symbol such as “1” or “2”) is given. be able to. In the case of Yes in step 1632-4, in step 1614-4, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and whether or not the current adjustment mode is the first adjustment mode. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1614-4, in step 1616-4, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the second adjustment mode switching execution flag after stopping the symbol fluctuation and performs the next processing (adjustment mode switching execution processing in step 1700). ). In this modified example, the transition to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state is made based on the stop symbol of the special symbol, but the decoration on the sub-side (the first effect display control means 2150 and the second effect display control means 2250). Pseudo-probability variation based on symbol stop symbols (for example, consecutive loss stop symbols such as “123”, lose reach stop symbols such as “776”, non-probable big hit symbols such as “222”, and probabilistic big hit symbols such as “777”) You may comprise so that it may transfer to a gaming state. In this case, the first effect display control means 2150 and the second effect display control means 2250 are provided with symbol information transmitting means for transmitting symbol information to the main control device 1000 side.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1632-4, in step 1634-4, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 is determined with reference to the first special figure information temporary storage unit 1191b and the second special figure information temporary storage unit 1192b. It is determined whether or not any of the stopped symbols is the specific symbol B. Here, as the specific symbol B, for example, a specific lose symbol (for example, a stop symbol such as “−” or “=”) or a specific jackpot symbol (for example, a stop symbol such as “1” or “2”) is given. be able to. In the case of Yes in step 1634-4, in step 1618-4, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the second adjustment mode. judge. In the case of Yes in Step 1618-4, in Step 1620-4, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 turns on the first adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and performs the next processing (in Step 1700). (Adjustment mode switching execution processing).

  According to this modified example, when the first identification information or the second identification information is the predetermined stop identification information, the pseudo high probability lottery state or the pseudo low probability lottery state is established. Can be changed. For example, it is possible not to simply display the winning / losing position, but to further determine whether or not it is a transition opportunity to a substantial high probability lottery state (probability variation gaming state). In addition, when switching is performed according to the hit type, the types of probability fluctuations can be substantially increased. For example, the winning lottery table is switched to one for high-probability lottery with a certain hit identification information as a trigger, while the pseudo-high probability lottery is switched from the first adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode with another hit identification information as a trigger. The mode made into a state can be mentioned.

  Next, a fourth modification example according to the best mode will be described. Here, as described above, the fourth modified example is a type that shifts to the pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the gaming state transitions (in this example, the probability variation state is exemplified). Therefore, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 32, processing characteristics (particularly, adjustment mode switching determination processing) of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example will be described. First, in step 1630-5, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a or the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a and determines whether the probability variation flag is on, that is, the current It is determined whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 1630-5, in step 1614-5, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 and determines whether or not the current adjustment mode is the first adjustment mode. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1614-5, in step 1616-5, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the second adjustment mode switching execution flag after the symbol fluctuation stop, and performs the next processing (adjustment mode switching execution processing in step 1700). ).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1630-5, in step 1618-5, the switching condition satisfaction determination unit 1232 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and whether or not the current adjustment mode is the second adjustment mode. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1618-5, in step 1620-5, the adjustment mode control means 1230 turns on the first adjustment mode switching execution flag in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233, and performs the next processing (in step 1700). (Adjustment mode switching execution processing).

  According to this modified example, when a transition is made from a gaming state to another gaming state in which the player's profit state is different from the gaming state, a pseudo high probability lottery state or a pseudo low probability lottery state is established. If the pseudo high probability lottery state is entered when the probability lottery state is entered, the time until the special game transition is further shortened, and if the pseudo high probability lottery state is established when the low probability lottery state (normal game state) is entered. The probability is offset between the low probability and the pseudo high lottery probability, and an intermediate probability lottery state can be constructed.If the pseudo low probability lottery state is entered when the high probability lottery state is entered, the high probability and the pseudo low lottery probability The probability is canceled out and an intermediate probability lottery state can be constructed. If the pseudo low probability lottery state is entered when the low probability lottery state is entered, it is possible to construct a state in which the time until the special game transition becomes longer. Thus, there is an effect that a plurality of modes can be formed as the substantial lottery probability.

  Next, a fifth modification example according to the best mode will be described. Here, as described above, the fifth modified example is a pseudo-probability variation gaming state when the sum of the number of reserved balls of the special symbol of the first game and the number of reserved balls of the special symbol of the second game is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. {The difference from the best mode is that the best mode performs a process for determining a predetermined condition, whereas the modified example has a predetermined condition fixed from the beginning (pending total).
