Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine that can play a game in a normal gaming state and a jackpot gaming state that is advantageous to the player, and a game program.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, in order to increase a player's interest, in addition to a normal gaming state in which a normal game can be performed, a big hit gaming state (a specific gaming state) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state , Sometimes called a big hit). When the gaming state shifts to the big hit gaming state, it becomes easier to obtain more prize balls. Therefore, the player plays a game aiming to shift from the normal gaming state to the big hit gaming state and increases interest. .

This type of pachinko gaming machine includes display means (display device) that displays a plurality of symbols in a variable manner, and a combination of symbols (stop display mode) displayed on the display device is a specific symbol combination. Occasionally, a big hit gaming state is entered. And, in order to improve the interest of the game, there is known a technique in which a combination (development combination mode) of specific off-set symbols (developed symbols, sub-symbols) is temporarily stopped and then the symbols are changed and displayed again. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-40535 A

  However, in the gaming machine described in the above-mentioned patent document, the player's interest can only be focused on whether or not the development combination mode is simply stopped and displayed, and it is not possible to improve the interest of the game. It was.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine and a game program capable of improving the interest of the game using the sub-design. .

  The gaming machine according to the present invention has a jackpot gaming state transition determining means for determining whether or not to shift from a normal gaming state to a jackpot gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state, and to transition to the jackpot gaming state. A display unit having a plurality of symbol display areas for displaying an identification symbol including at least a main symbol used for notifying the user and a sub-symbol used for notifying that the specific development effect is displayed, and displayed on the display unit Display control means for performing display control for variably displaying and stopping the identification symbols to be displayed, sub-picture storage means for storing a plurality of types of sub-designs, and specific development effects corresponding to the types of sub-designs that are developed and displayed from predetermined effects An effect storage means for storing a plurality of effects including the effect, an effect determining means for determining an effect to be displayed on the display means, from the plurality of effects stored in the effect storage means, When the specific development effect is determined by the determining means, the development determining means for determining whether or not to display the development combination mode for informing that the specific development effect is displayed in advance as the sub-pattern combination mode; Based on the determination result determined by the gaming state transition determination means and based on the type of specific development effect determined by the effect determination means, stop sub-design type determination for determining the type of sub-graphic to be stopped and displayed in a plurality of display areas And a sub-symbol combination mode determining unit for determining a sub-pattern combination mode to be displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas based on the sub-symbol type determined by the stop sub-symbol type determining unit. The combination mode determination means determines the development combination mode of the sub-symbol when the development determination unit determines to display the development combination mode, and determines the development. When it is determined that the development combination mode is not displayed by the step, a sub-pattern combination mode that does not become the development combination mode is determined, and the display control unit determines that the development combination unit displays the development combination mode. The sub-pattern development combination mode determined by the sub-symbol combination mode determination means is displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas, and then the specific development effect determined by the effect determination means is displayed.

  According to such a gaming machine, it is provided with the stop sub symbol type determining means for determining the type of sub symbols to be stopped and displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas, and based on the big hit determination by the big hit gaming state transition determining means and the effect determining means The sub-design type can be determined based on the type of the specific development effect determined by the sub-designation, and the sub-pattern combination mode is determined based on the sub-design type determined by the stop sub-design type determining means. Symbol combination mode determining means is provided. For this reason, the jackpot expectation degree is notified based on the relationship between the types of sub-designs constituting the “sub-pattern combination mode” stopped and displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas and the types of specific development effects to be executed thereafter. Can be made. The player is interested in the type of the specific development effect to be executed after the sub symbol is stopped and displayed, and the type of sub symbol constituting the “sub-combination mode of sub symbols” that is stopped and displayed. If the type of the specific development effect is related, a greater expectation is given to the jackpot. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game using the sub-design. Therefore, it is possible to change the type of sub-symbol to be displayed in a stopped state when shifting to the big hit gaming state (in the case of big hit) and not shifting to the big hit gaming state (in the case of losing). For example, in the case of a loss, the type of the sub-design that is stopped and displayed is different from the type of the specific development effect. In the case of a big hit, the type of the sub-graphic that is stopped and displayed is the same as the type of the specific development effect. Can be. Also, for example, by matching the type of the sub-design that is stopped and the type of the specific development effect that is subsequently executed, the relevance between the sub-graphic and the specific development effect is enhanced, and the entertainment of the game is further improved. be able to. Furthermore, even if the sub-combination development combination mode is not displayed, the role of the sub-symbol can be increased, so that the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Further, the sub-symbol combination mode determining unit can determine the sub-combination development combination mode when the development determining unit determines to display the development combination mode. Thus, for example, when the sub-patterns are aligned in the symbol display area on the same line, it is possible to develop a specific development effect when the sub-symbols are aligned. Further, the sub-symbol combination mode determining unit can determine a sub-symbol combination mode that does not become the development combination mode when the development determination unit determines that the development combination mode is not displayed. Thereby, for example, even when the sub-designs are not aligned in the symbol display area on the same line, it is possible to develop the specific development effect. For this reason, the player's expectation for the big hit can be increased, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game by using the sub-symbol. Note that the “big hit expectation” here expresses the ease of transition to the big hit gaming state after the “sub-pattern display mode” is displayed. The higher the big hit expectation, the higher the big hit gaming state The probability of moving to is increased. The “stop display” includes a temporary stop display that is temporarily stopped.

  In addition, the game program according to the present invention includes a jackpot gaming state transition determination function for determining whether or not to shift from a normal gaming state to a jackpot gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state, and a jackpot gaming state. Displayed on a display means having a plurality of symbol display areas for displaying an identification symbol including at least a main symbol used for notifying that a transition has occurred and a sub symbol used for notifying that a specific development effect is displayed. A display control function for performing display control to display and stop display of the identification symbol, a sub symbol storage function for storing a plurality of types of sub symbols, and a specific development effect corresponding to the type of sub symbol developed and displayed from a predetermined effect An effect storage function for storing a plurality of effects including, an effect determination function for determining an effect to be displayed on the display means, from a plurality of effects stored in the effect storage function; When a specific development effect is determined by the output determination function, an evolution determination function for determining whether or not to display an advance combination mode for informing beforehand that the specific development effect is displayed as a sub-pattern combination mode; Stop sub-design type that determines the type of sub-design to be stopped and displayed in a plurality of display areas based on the determination result determined by the jackpot gaming state transition determination function and the type of specific development effect determined by the effect determination function The computer is realized with a determination function and a sub-symbol combination mode determination function that determines the combination mode of the sub-patterns to be displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas based on the sub-symbol type determined by the stop sub-symbol type determination function The sub-graphic combination mode determination function is determined to display the development combination mode by the development determination function. If the development combination mode of the sub-design is determined and it is determined that the development combination function does not display the development combination mode, the sub-pattern combination mode that does not become the development combination mode is determined, and the display control function When it is determined by the determination function to display the extended combination mode, the sub-pattern combination mode determined by the sub symbol combination mode determination function is displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas, and then determined by the effect determination function. It is characterized by having a computer realize the display of a specific development effect.

According to such a game program, a stop sub-symbol type determining function for determining the types of sub-symbols that are stopped and displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas is provided, and an effect is determined based on the jackpot determination by the jackpot gaming state transition determination function. The sub-design type can be determined based on the type of the specific development effect determined by the means, and the sub-pattern combination mode is determined based on the sub-design type determined by the stop sub-design type determining function. A sub-pattern combination mode determination function is provided. For this reason, the jackpot expectation degree is notified based on the relationship between the types of sub-designs constituting the “sub-pattern combination mode” stopped and displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas and the types of specific development effects to be executed thereafter. Can be made. The player is interested in the type of the specific development effect to be executed after the sub symbol is stopped and displayed, and the type of sub symbol constituting the “sub-combination mode of sub symbols” that is stopped and displayed. If the type of the specific development effect is related, a greater expectation is given to the jackpot. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game using the sub-design. Therefore, it is possible to change the type of sub-symbol to be displayed in a stopped state when shifting to the big hit gaming state (in the case of big hit) and not shifting to the big hit gaming state (in the case of losing). For example, in the case of a loss, the type of the sub-design that is stopped and displayed is different from the type of the specific development effect. In the case of a big hit, the type of the sub-graphic that is stopped and displayed is the same as the type of the specific development effect. Can be. Also, for example, by matching the type of the sub-design that is stopped and the type of the specific development effect that is subsequently executed, the relevance between the sub-graphic and the specific development effect is enhanced, and the entertainment of the game is further improved. be able to. Furthermore, even if the sub-combination development combination mode is not displayed, the role of the sub-symbol can be enhanced, so that it is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  The sub-symbol combination mode determination function can determine the sub-combination development combination mode when it is determined that the development combination mode is displayed by the development determination function. Thus, for example, when the sub-patterns are aligned in the symbol display area on the same line, it is possible to develop a specific development effect when the sub-symbols are aligned. Further, the sub-symbol combination mode determination function can determine a sub-pattern combination mode that does not become the development combination mode when it is determined by the development determination function that the development combination mode is not displayed. Thereby, for example, even when the sub-designs are not aligned in the symbol display area on the same line, it is possible to develop the specific development effect.

  According to the present invention, the degree of jackpot expectation can be notified by the relevance between the type of the sub-design that is stopped and the type of the specific development effect that is subsequently executed. Improvements can be made. Furthermore, even if the sub-combination development combination mode is not displayed, the role of the sub-symbol can be increased, so that the interest of the game can be further improved.

In the case of “A”, an indication that the opponent is victorious is displayed, and it is notified that it is a normal big hit.

  FIG. 6 is a block configuration diagram illustrating mainly the internal configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5. The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a plurality of components centering on the main control circuit 30, the sub control circuit 40, the payout / launch control circuit 80, and the power supply unit 24 described above. 30, sub-control circuit 40 and payout / launch control circuit 80 are connected to each other, and power can be supplied to each. The main control circuit 30 includes a main CPU (Central Processing Unit) 31, a main ROM (Read Only Memory) 32, and a main RAM (Random Access Memory) 33 which are configured by a one-chip microcomputer, and an initial reset circuit 34. And a command output port 35.

  The main CPU 31 inputs a detection signal of a game ball from a count switch 11CS, which will be described later, and operates according to a control program stored in the main ROM 32, so that a pachinko game such as a big hit lottery or a prize ball discharge in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed. It controls the operation of the entire gaming machine 1 and transmits various commands to the sub control circuit 40 via the command output port 35. The main CPU 31 performs transition control between the normal gaming state and the big hit gaming state which is a specific gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state based on the result of the big hit lottery or the digestion of the gaming state. Here, the main CPU 31 constitutes a jackpot gaming state transition means, and winning the jackpot lottery is a transition condition for shifting from the normal gaming state to the jackpot gaming state.

  In addition to the normal game state and the big hit game state, the preferential normal game state that is easier to shift to the big hit game state than the normal game state is set as the game state. As the preferential normal gaming state, specifically, a probability variation gaming state and a short-time gaming state are set. In the probability variation gaming state, the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the main CPU 31 is set higher than that in the normal gaming state to make it easier to shift to the big hit gaming state. Also, in the short-time gaming state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to the normal gaming state. In this way, it is easy to open the blade 9a of the start winning opening 9, and in some cases, the probability of winning the normal symbol is set high, and the blade 9a of the starting winning opening 9 is made easy to open to increase the winning ratio to the start winning opening 9. It is increasing. Thus, by making it possible to perform many jackpot lotteries in a short time, as a result, it is easy to shift to the jackpot gaming state. Note that the normal game state means a game state that is neither the big hit game state nor the preferential normal game state. In addition, as the preferential normal gaming state, the probability variation gaming state and the short-time gaming state may proceed simultaneously, or only the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state may proceed.

  The main CPU 31 shifts the gaming state to the probability-changing gaming state and the time-saving gaming state after the probability-changing big hit gaming state is ended, and shifts the gaming state to the time-saving gaming state after the normal jackpot gaming state is ended. This probable jackpot gaming state becomes the special jackpot gaming state. In the probable gaming state, the probable gaming state continues until the next big win lottery is won, and in the short-time gaming state, the next big win lottery is won or until a predetermined number of, for example, 100 special symbol variations are displayed. The short-time gaming state continues. The main CPU 31 shifts the gaming state to the jackpot gaming state when winning the jackpot lottery in the short-time gaming state, and shifts the gaming state to the normal gaming state when a predetermined number of special symbol changes have been completed. . Note that the probability variation gaming state may also be shifted to the normal gaming state when the predetermined number of special symbol variations are displayed. In this way, the main CPU 31 controls which of the normal gaming state, the probability variation gaming state, and the short-time gaming state is to be transferred.

  The main ROM 32 stores a control program executed by the main CPU 31 and permanent data. Specifically, a special symbol determination table shown in FIG. 7A, a variation pattern table shown in FIG. 7B, and the like are stored. Further, the main RAM 33 temporarily stores data and programs used when the main CPU 31 operates. The main RAM 33 is provided with a transmission buffer for transmitting various commands such as a symbol designation command and a variation pattern command to the sub-control circuit 40.

  The main CPU 31 causes the symbol display device 16b to display the special symbol selected from the special symbol determination table shown in FIG. The main CPU 31 determines the special symbol by referring to the special symbol determination table with the result of the big hit lottery performed using the random number counter for determining big hits. In the big hit lottery performed when the start winning port switch 9S detects the winning of the game ball and transmits a detection signal and the main control circuit 30 receives the detection signal, the big hit symbol lottery is also performed at the same time. In the big hit symbol lottery, one is acquired from the random numbers for determining the big hit symbol (0 to 9). When the random numbers acquired here are 0 to 5, the symbol “F” that is a probable big hit and the number of continuation rounds is 15 is selected and displayed on the symbol display device 16b. When the acquired random number is 6 to 7, the symbol “A” which is a probable big hit and the number of continuous rounds is 2 is selected and displayed on the symbol display device 16b. Further, when the acquired random numbers are 8 to 9, the symbol “H” which is usually a big hit and the number of continuous rounds is 15 is selected and displayed on the symbol display device 16b. The jackpot symbol lottery may be performed when the jackpot lottery is determined to be a jackpot.

  In addition, when a winning is selected in the big hit lottery, “-” is selected from the special symbol determination table and displayed as a special symbol on the symbol display device 16b shown in FIGS. In this case, the acquired jackpot symbol determining random number is not necessary and is discarded.

  Further, the main CPU 31 determines a symbol designation command based on the selected symbol. Specifically, when the selected symbol is “−”, the symbol designation command is determined as z3. If the selected symbol is “F”, the symbol designating command is determined to be z0. Further, when the selected symbol is “A”, the symbol designation command is determined as z1. When the selected symbol is “H”, the symbol designation command is determined as z2. The main control circuit 30 sets the symbol designation command determined by the main CPU 31 in a transmission buffer provided in the main RAM 33.

  Further, the main CPU 31 determines a variation pattern command with reference to the variation pattern table shown in FIG. Therefore, the variation pattern determination lottery is performed separately from the above big hit lottery. In the variation pattern determination lottery, one variation pattern determination random number is acquired from a plurality of random numbers, for example, 0 to 99. In addition to the variation pattern determination random number acquired here, the variation pattern command is determined as a variation pattern by referring to the variation pattern table shown in FIG. The variation time and production contents corresponding to are determined. The main control circuit 30 sets the variation pattern command determined by the main CPU 31 in a transmission buffer provided in the main RAM 33.

  Specifically, in the normal gaming state, when the winning lottery is lost and the obtained variation pattern determination random number is 0 to 74, the variation pattern command “h0” is determined and “normal variation” is determined as the content of the effect. . When the obtained variation pattern determination random numbers are 75 to 94, the variation pattern command “h2” is determined and “normal reach” is determined as the effect content. Further, when the obtained variation pattern determination random number is 95 to 99, the variation pattern command “h3” is determined, and “super reach” is determined as the effect content.

  In addition, when the change pattern determination random number is 0 to 74, the change pattern command “h1” is determined, and the effect content is “shortening change”. To decide. When the obtained variation pattern determination random numbers are 75 to 94, the variation pattern command “h2” is determined and “normal reach” is determined as the effect content. Further, when the obtained variation pattern determination random number is 95 to 99, the variation pattern command “h3” is determined, and “super reach” is determined as the effect content.

  In addition, when the big winning lottery is won and the selected special symbol is “F” or “H” and the obtained variation pattern determination random number is 0 to 19, the variation pattern command “h4” is selected and the production is performed. Select “Normal reach” as the content. When the obtained variation pattern determination random number is 20 to 99, the variation pattern command “h5” is selected and “super reach” is selected as the production content. Furthermore, when the big win lottery is won and the selected special symbol is “A”, the obtained variation pattern determination random number is discarded, the variation pattern command “h6” is selected, and the production content is “ Select “Suddenly a big hit”.

  The main RAM 33 transmits various commands such as a symbol designation command and a variation pattern designation command set in the transmission buffer from the command output port 35 to the sub control circuit 40. The initial reset circuit 34 periodically outputs a reset signal to the main CPU 31. With this reset signal, the main CPU 31 executes processing from the beginning of the control program.

  The main control circuit 30 is connected to each switch including the count switch 11CS. The count switch 11CS measures the number of game balls won in the special winning opening 11, and outputs a detection signal indicating the measurement result to the main control circuit 30. The general winning opening switch 12S outputs to the main control circuit 30 a detection signal of a game ball won in each of the general winning openings 12a to 12d. The operation gate switch 10 </ b> S outputs a detection signal of the game ball passing through the normal symbol operation gate 10 to the main control circuit 30. The start winning port switch 9 </ b> S outputs a detection signal of a game ball won in the start winning port 9 to the main control circuit 30.

  The start opening solenoid 9L opens and closes a pair of blades 9a and 9a provided in the start winning opening 9, and the large winning opening solenoid 11L opens and closes a shutter provided in the large winning opening 11. The backup clear switch 26 clears backup data in the event of a power interruption or the like according to the operation of the operator.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the start winning port switch 9S detects the winning of the game ball and transmits a detection signal, and the main control circuit 30 receives the detection signal, the main CPU 31 in the main control circuit 30 By the big hit lottery, the disappointment, the normal big hit, and the probable big hit are determined. As a result of the big hit lottery, when the normal big hit or the probable variation big hit is determined, the gaming state shifts to a big hit gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. As described above, the big hit gaming state includes the normal big hit gaming state and the probability variation big hit gaming state, and the probability changing big hit gaming state is the special big hit gaming state. In addition, while the special symbol variation display for notifying the result of the big hit lottery based on the detection signal is being performed, a maximum of four detection signals are held, and the same number of special symbol holding lamps R1 to R1 as the number of the holding balls is held. Turn on R4. The main CPU 31 performing such a big hit lottery constitutes a big hit gaming state transition determining means.

  Furthermore, when the big hit as a result of the big hit lottery is a normal big hit, after the big hit gaming state ends, the game shifts to the time-saving gaming state. When the big hit is a probable big hit, after the big hit gaming state is finished, the game shifts to the probable gaming state. On the other hand, when the result of the big hit lottery is out of control, the open / close control of the big winning opening 11 is not performed, but when the big hit is won, the open / close control of the big winning opening 11 is performed.

The eighth established line L8 includes third, fifth, and seventh symbol display areas E3, E5, and E5. It consists of E7.

  Furthermore, in each of the symbol display areas E1 to E9, a symbol variable display array is set. Now, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the display arrangement of the first, second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and ninth symbol display areas E1, E2, E4, E6, E8, and E9 is A pattern, The display arrangement of the third and seventh symbol display areas E3 and E7 is B pattern, and the display arrangement of the fifth symbol display area E5 is C pattern. Here, in the A pattern, seven kinds and ten symbols shown in FIG. 10B are variably displayed. In this variable display, the display numbers are displayed in order from the youngest. Specifically, “Small” → “Folding Fan” → “Blank” → “Bill” → “Blank” → “Sake Barrel” → “Blank” → “Military” → “ 7 ”→“ small ”→...

  In the B pattern, 21 types of 7 symbols shown in FIG. 10C are displayed in a variable manner, and in the C pattern, 21 types of 7 types shown in FIG. 10D are displayed in a variable manner.

  The determination of the display pattern and display contents using the display pattern table shown in FIG. 8 is performed as follows. First, when the variation pattern command is h0, the display pattern determination random number is discarded, hz0 is determined as the display pattern, and the normal variation deviation is determined. The display mode of the normal deviation is as follows. First, the symbols in the first, ninth E1, E9 symbol display areas are stopped and displayed, and then the symbols in the second, fourth, sixth, eighth symbol display areas E2, E4, E6, E8 are stopped and displayed. . Subsequently, the symbols in the third and seventh symbol display areas E3 and E7 are stopped and displayed, and finally the symbol in the fifth symbol display area E5 is stopped and displayed.

  When the variation pattern command is h1, the display pattern determination random number is discarded, hz1 is determined as the display pattern, and the shortening variation deviation is determined. The display mode of the deviation from the shortening variation is as follows. First, the symbols in the first, ninth E1, E9 symbol display areas are stopped and displayed, and then the symbols in the second, fourth, sixth, eighth symbol display areas E2, E4, E6, E8 are stopped and displayed. . Subsequently, the symbols in the third, fifth, and seventh symbol display areas E3, E5, and E7 are stopped and displayed. At this time, no reach state occurs in each of the established lines L1 to L8.

  Next, when the variation pattern command is h2, the display pattern determined by the display pattern determination random number is different. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 0 to 74, the normal reach A pattern is determined and hz2 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 75 to 99, the normal reach B pattern is determined and hz3 is determined as the display pattern.

  When the variation pattern command is h4, the display pattern determined by the display pattern determination random number is different. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 0 to 24, the normal reach A pattern is determined and hz14 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 25 to 99, the normal reach B pattern is determined and hz15 is determined as the display pattern.

  In the display mode of the normal reach A pattern, the symbols in each symbol display area are stopped and displayed in the same order of stop as the normal deviation, and at least one of the first, third, fourth, and sixth established lines L1, L3, L4, and L6. The main symbol reach state is established on one establishment line, and the main symbol reach state is not established on the other second, fifth, seventh, and eighth establishment lines L2, L5, L7, and L8. Here, for example, the main symbol reach state in the first establishment line L1 is a state in which the main symbol of “7” is stopped and displayed in the first and second symbol display areas E1 and E2.

  In the display mode of the normal reach B pattern, the symbols in each symbol display area are stopped and displayed in the same order of stop as the normal deviation, and at least of the second, fifth, seventh, and eighth established lines L2, L5, L7, and L8. This is a pattern in which the main symbol reach state is established on one establishment line. Here, for example, the main symbol reach state in the seventh formation line L7 is a state in which the main symbol of “7” is stopped and displayed in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1 and E9. In the normal reach A pattern, the symbols are stopped and displayed in the third and seventh symbol display areas E3 and E7, so that it is a jackpot combination and whether or not the jackpot symbol (777) for notifying the transition to the jackpot gaming state is obtained. Is determined. Further, in the normal reach B pattern, it is determined whether or not the fifth symbol E5, which is stopped and displayed last, is stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol. If the variation pattern command is h2, it will not be a big hit symbol, and if the variation pattern command is h4, it will be a big hit symbol.

  Further, when the variation pattern command is h3, the display pattern and display contents are determined as follows by the display pattern determination random number. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 0 to 34, “Kominato reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz4 is determined as the display pattern. When “Kominato Reach” is displayed, symbols in each symbol display area are stopped and displayed in the same order of stop as normal deviation, and then “Kominato Reach”, which is a specific development effect, is displayed later. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 35 to 64, “Folder Reach” is determined as the super reach, hz5 is determined as the display pattern, and the display pattern determination random number is any of 65 to 84. In some cases, “hand reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz6 is determined as the display pattern. Further, when the display pattern determining random number is any of 85 to 94, “Sake Barrel Reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz7 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any one of 85 to 99, “Military reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz8 is determined as the display pattern. For these “Folder Reach”, “Hand Reach”, “Sake Barrel Reach”, and “Mitsuchi Reach”, the symbols in each symbol display area are stopped and displayed in the same order of stoppage as in the case of “Kominato Reach”. Then, after a stop display is performed with the detailed display pattern determined using the detailed display pattern determination table described later, a predetermined effect display is performed.

  When the variation pattern command is h5, the display pattern and display content are determined as follows by the display pattern determination random number. When the display pattern determination random number is any one of 0 to 4, “Komine reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz16 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any one of 5 to 14, “fan reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz17 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any one of 15 to 34, “hand reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz18 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any of 35 to 64, “Sake Barrel Reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz19 is determined as the display pattern. When the display pattern determination random number is any one of 65 to 99, “Military reach” is determined as the super reach, and hz20 is determined as the display pattern. In these display modes, after the symbols in each symbol display area are stopped and displayed in the same stop order as the normal deviation, the stop display with the detailed display pattern determined using the detailed display pattern determination table described later is performed. After being performed, a predetermined effect display is made.

  Furthermore, when the variation pattern command is h6, the big hit effect is suddenly determined, and when the display pattern determination random number is any of 0 to 49, the A pattern is determined and hz26 is displayed as the display pattern. It is determined. When the display pattern determination random number is 50 to 99, the B pattern is determined and hz27 is determined as the display pattern. Suddenly, the big hit effect A pattern is displayed with the big hit symbol stopped on at least one of the first, third, fourth, and sixth established lines L1, L3, L4, and L6, and the other second, fifth, In the seventh and eighth formation lines L2, L5, L7, and L8, symbols other than the big hit symbol are stopped and displayed. The big hit effect B pattern is a pattern in which the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the second, fifth, seventh, and eighth establishment lines L2, L5, L7, and L8. Suddenly, in the big hit effect, the symbols in each symbol display area are stopped and displayed in the same stopping order as the normal fluctuation deviation, but after the symbols are stopped and displayed in the third and seventh symbol display areas E3 and E7, the fifth display area is displayed. The symbol variation time at E5 is set to be shorter than that in the case of normal variation deviation.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 functions as a sub-symbol stop number determining unit of the present invention, and based on the determination result determined by the big hit gaming state transition determining unit, a sub-symbol that temporarily stops (stops display) a plurality of display areas. Determine the number of stops. This sub-symbol stop number determining means determines that the number of sub-symbols to be stopped and displayed is more likely to be larger when the big hit gaming state transition determining means is determined to be a big win than when the big hit is not determined to be a big hit (out of place). . For example, the probability of selecting the number of sub symbol stops “4” and “5” is selected with a higher selection probability in the case of a big hit than in the case of a loss, and the number of sub symbol stops “0”, “ The probability of selecting “one” is selected with a higher selection probability in the case of losing than in the case of jackpot. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 14 to 16, when the number of sub symbol stops 4 to 6 is a big hit as “chance eyes 1” and “chance eyes 2”. It is selected with a higher probability than in the case of loss.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 functions as an evolution determination unit of the present invention. The development determination means displays a development combination mode for informing (indicating) in advance that the super reach production is executed as a sub-pattern combination mode when the super reach production is selected (determined) by the production determination unit. It is determined whether or not to make it. Specifically, the detailed display contents are determined with reference to the detailed display pattern determination tables shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, and it is determined that the development combination mode is displayed when the development is selected from the development symbols. In the present embodiment, the developed combination mode is that sub-designs of the same type are arranged on the formation line.

  The sub CPU 41 functions as a stop sub symbol type determining means of the present invention. This stop sub-design type determining means is based on the determination result determined by the jackpot gaming state transition determining means and based on the type of specific development effect determined by the effect determining means, is stopped and displayed in a plurality of display areas. Determine the type of. This stop sub-design type determining means, when determined to be a big hit by the big hit gaming state transition determining means, has a higher probability than the case of losing, the type of the specific development effect and the “chance eye 2 (sub-symbol of the sub-design) Combination Mode) ”(see FIGS. 21 and 22) is related to the types of sub-symbols. For example, when the “deciduous reach” is determined by the effect determining means, the type of sub-pattern that constitutes the “chance eye 2” that is stopped and displayed with a higher probability than the case of a shift in the case of a big hit , The sub-pattern imitating “Kominato” is determined.

  In this way, the big hit expectation degree is notified based on the relationship between the type of the sub symbol constituting the “chance eye 2” stopped and displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas and the type of the specific development effect to be executed thereafter. be able to. The player is interested in the type of the specific development effect to be executed after the sub symbol is stopped and displayed, and the type and the specific development of the sub symbol constituting “Chance Eye 2” that is stopped and displayed. If the type of production has a relevance, it will be expected more for the big hit. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game using the sub-design.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 functions as a sub symbol combination mode determining means of the present invention, and executes an 8-line stop symbol determining process (see FIG. 44) described later. Here, the sub symbol combination mode determining means determines the sub symbol combination mode to be displayed in the plurality of symbol display areas based on the sub symbol type determined by the stop sub symbol type determining unit (FIG. 44). Of S126 to S130).

  The sub-symbol combination mode determining means determines a sub-symbol combination mode to be displayed in a plurality of symbol display areas based on the number of stops determined by the sub-symbol stop number determining unit. Here, the sub-symbol combination mode determination unit determines the sub-combination development combination mode when the development determination unit determines to display the development combination mode (see S124 and S128 to S130 in FIG. 44). In the present embodiment, for example, the same type of sub-designs are aligned on the established line, and the same type of sub-designs are aligned to “V” and “mountain” (see FIGS. 33A and 33B). Is determined as the development combination mode. Further, the sub-symbol combination mode determining means determines a sub-symbol combination mode that does not become the development combination mode when the development determination unit determines that the development combination mode is not displayed. In this embodiment, for example, “four different types of sub-designs are displayed”, “three different types of sub-designs are displayed on the establishment line”, “four or more sub-designs are displayed. Is determined as “a sub-pattern combination mode that does not become an extended combination mode”. In addition, “the sub-pattern combination mode that does not become the development combination mode” includes “four different types of sub-patterns are displayed”, “three different types of sub-patterns are displayed on the established line”, The present invention is not limited to “displaying four or more sub-symbols”, but may be other combinations using sub-symbols.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 performs a detailed display pattern determination lottery. In the detailed display pattern determination lottery, one detailed display pattern determination random number is acquired from a plurality of, for example, 0 to 8191 random numbers. With reference to the detailed display pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the detailed display pattern determination random number and the display pattern determined with reference to the display pattern table are obtained. Determine the display contents. In the detailed display pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the selection probability is displayed. This selection probability indicates the distribution probability of the detailed display pattern determination random numbers.

  The determination of the detailed display pattern and the detailed display content using the detailed display pattern determination table is performed as follows. First, when the display pattern is hz0 to hz3, hz14, hz15, hz26, hz27, the detailed display pattern and the detailed display content are not determined.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 determines one random number from among a plurality of, for example, ten decorative symbol determination random numbers in order to determine the decorative symbol, and the random number, the symbol designating command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 and the decorative symbol. With reference to the symbol distribution table, the display mode of the decorative symbol is determined (see S129 and S130 in FIG. 44). Here, the mode of the decorative symbol displayed on any of the eight reach establishment lines is determined. Here, when the symbol designating command is z0 and the ornamental symbol determination random number is any of 0 to 8, the display mode of the ornamental symbol in which “777” is displayed on the determined reach establishment line is determined. To do. In addition, decorative symbols other than reach formation lines are determined randomly. Further, when the symbol designating command is z1 or z2, the decorative symbol display mode in which “777” is displayed on any reach establishment line is determined.

  Further, when the symbol designating command is z3, the decoration symbols in the symbol display areas E1 to E9 are determined based on random numbers for selecting the ornament symbols to be displayed in the symbol display areas E1 to E9 in the sub CPU 41. To do. If the decorative symbol selected at this time displays a jackpot symbol or a chance to be described later, the decorative symbol is selected again.

  Returning to the display pattern table shown in FIG. 8, when the display pattern is any one of hz4 to hz8 (display pattern when the result of the big hit lottery in the main control circuit 30 is off), the display contents are different from each other. The detailed display pattern and the detailed display content are determined with the same selection probability. Therefore, here, a case where the display pattern is hz4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, when the display pattern is hz4, the detailed display pattern Hza00 is determined with the probability of 6846/8192, the detailed display pattern Hza01 is determined with the probability of 840/8192, and the detailed display with the probability of 260/8192. A pattern Hza02 is determined. Further, the detailed display contents in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza00 are developed from reach without chance eyes, and the detailed display contents in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza01 are developed from reach with chance eyes 1 and are displayed in detail. The detailed display content in the case of the pattern Hza02 is developed from the reach with the chance eye 2. Here, “development from reach” means a state in which the main symbol reach state is established in one or more reach establishment lines, but “development from reach” and “chance” will be described in detail later. .

  The detailed display pattern Hza03 is determined with a probability of 105/8192, the detailed display pattern Hza04 is determined with a probability of 43/8192, and the detailed display pattern Hza05 is determined with a probability of 20/8192. Further, the detailed display pattern Hza06 is determined with the probability of 11/8192, the detailed display pattern Hza07 is determined with the probability of 6/8192, and the detailed display pattern Hza08 is determined with the probability of 5/8192. The detailed display pattern Hza09 is determined with a probability of 1/8192, and the detailed display pattern Hza10 is determined with a probability of 65/8192.

  The detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza03 is the development from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on one line, and the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza04 is from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on the two lines. The detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza05 is the development from the development symbol stopped and displayed on the three lines. Further, the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza06 is the development from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on the 4th line, and the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza07 is the developed symbol that is stopped and displayed on the 5th line. The detailed display contents in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza08 are the developments from the development symbols stopped and displayed on the 6 lines. The detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza09 is the development from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on the 8th line, and the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza10 is the developed symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special type. It is development from. The “development from the development pattern”, “1 line” to “8 line”, and “special type” will be described later.

  Further, when the display pattern is any one of hz16 to hz20 (display pattern when the result of the big hit lottery in the main control circuit 30 is a big win), the display contents are different from each other, but the details are the same with the same selection probability. A display pattern and detailed display contents are determined. Therefore, here, a case where the display pattern is hz16 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, when the display pattern is hz16, the detailed display pattern Hza20 is determined with the probability of 1024/8192, the detailed display pattern Hza21 is determined with the probability of 1024/8192, and the detailed display with the probability of 2048/8192. A pattern Hza22 is determined. Further, the detailed display contents in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza20 are developed from reach without chance eyes, and the detailed display contents in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza21 are developed from reach with chance eyes 1 to display details. The detailed display contents in the case of the pattern Hza22 are developed from the reach with the chance eye 2. That is, it is determined that the “development combination mode” is displayed by the development determination unit, and the sub CPU 41 functions as a sub symbol combination mode determination unit, and the “development display pattern determination table” (see FIGS. 11 and 12) “Development from design” is selected, and “Development combination mode of sub-design” is determined. On the other hand, it is determined that the “development combination mode” is not displayed by the development determination unit, and the sub CPU 41 functions as a sub symbol combination mode determination unit, selects “develop from reach” in the “detailed display pattern determination table”, and The “combination mode of sub-patterns that does not become the development combination mode” is determined.

  Further, the detailed display pattern Hza23 is determined with a probability of 128/8192, the detailed display patterns Hza24 to Hza27 are determined with a probability of 256/8192, and the detailed display pattern Hza28 is determined with a probability of 512/8192. Further, the detailed display pattern Hza29 is determined with a probability of 2290/8192, and the detailed display pattern Hza30 is determined with a probability of 192/8192.

  The detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza23 is the development from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on one line, and the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza24 is from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on the two lines. The detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza25 is the development from the development symbol stopped and displayed on the three lines. Further, the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza26 is the development from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on the 4th line, and the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza27 is the developed symbol that is stopped and displayed on the 5th line. The detailed display contents in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza28 are the developments from the development symbols stopped and displayed on the 6th line. The detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza29 is the development from the developed symbol stopped and displayed on the 8 lines, and the detailed display content in the case of the detailed display pattern Hza30 is the developed symbol that is stopped and displayed in the special type. It is development from.

  The jackpot reliability expressed by the display pattern determined as described above is as shown in FIG. 13 for each display and each development line. FIG. 13A shows the jackpot reliability by display, and FIG. 13B shows the jackpot reliability by development line. As can be seen from FIG. 13 (a), “Normal fluctuation (= shortening fluctuation)”, “Normal reach”, “Kominato reach”, “Folder reach”, “Hand reach”, “Sake barrel reach”, “Miyoshi” The big hit reliability is set higher in the order of “reach” and “sudden hit effect”. Further, as can be seen from FIG. 13B, in the case of “development from normal (development from reach)”, the big hit reliability is set higher in the order of “no chance chance”, “chance eye 1”, “chance eye 2”. Has been. Furthermore, in the case of “development from development pattern”, “1 line”, “special type”, “2 line”, “3 line”, “4 line”, “5 line”, “6 line”, “8 line” The big hit reliability is set in the order of.

  Here, the jackpot reliability tables shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B are selection rates in the normal gaming state (low probability). Among these, the “main control side” selection rate in the “losing selection rate” shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B is the variation pattern at the time of “losing” using the variation pattern table shown in FIG. This is the selection rate when selecting. Further, the “sub control side” selection rate in the “loss selection rate” is the selection rate of the “display pattern” at the time of deviation (variation pattern commands h0 to h3) using the display pattern table shown in FIG. Furthermore, the “total selection rate” in the “loss selection rate” is a selection rate obtained by multiplying the “loss probability”, the “main control side”, and the “sub control side” in the “loss selection rate”.

  Further, the “symbol probability” in the “big hit selection rate” is “F”, “H”, or “F” among the special symbols “F”, “A”, and “H” using the special symbol determination table shown in FIG. A ”is the selectivity. Further, the selection rate of the “main control side” in the “big hit selection rate” is “big hit” using the variation pattern table shown in FIG. 7B and when the special symbols “F” and “H” are selected. This is a selection rate when a variation pattern is selected. The “sub control side” selection rate in the “big hit selection rate” is the “display pattern” selection rate at the big hit (variation pattern commands h4 to h6) using the display pattern table shown in FIG. Furthermore, the “total selection rate” in the “big hit selection rate” is the selection rate obtained by multiplying the “big hit probability”, “symbol probability”, “main control side”, and “sub control side” in the “big hit selection rate”. It is. The “big hit reliability” is calculated from the “total selection rate” (α) of the “big hit selection rate” to the “total selection rate” (α) of the “big hit selection rate” and the “total selection rate” of the “loss selection rate”. The value obtained by dividing the addition value (α + β) with (β) (α / (α + β)).

  Further, when the sub CPU 41 determines the contents including the chance eye 1 as the detailed display pattern, the sub CPU 41 refers to the chance eye display pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. The sub-pattern combination mode that does not become) is determined. Further, when the contents including the chance eye 2 are determined as the detailed display pattern, the chance eye display pattern (the sub-function that does not become the developed combination mode) is referred to with reference to the chance eye 2 display pattern determination table shown in FIGS. The combination mode of symbols is determined. That is, the sub CPU 41 functions as a sub-symbol combination mode determining unit and determines a sub-symbol combination mode.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 performs a chance eye display pattern determination lottery. In the chance eye display pattern determination lottery, one chance eye pattern determination random number is acquired from a plurality of random numbers, for example, 0 to 65535. The chance pattern display pattern is determined by referring to the chance pattern display pattern table shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 with reference to the display pattern determination random number acquired at this time and the detailed display pattern determined using the display pattern table. .

  Here, when the detailed display pattern is any one of Hza01, Hza21, Hzb01, Hzb21, Hzc01, Hzc21, Hzd01, Hzd21, Hze01, and Hze21, refer to the chance eye display pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. The chance eye display pattern is determined. When the detailed display pattern is any one of Hza02, Hza22, Hzb02, Hzb22, Hzc02, Hzc22, Hzd02, Hzd22, Hze02, and Hze22, refer to the chance eye 2 display pattern determination table shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. The chance eye display pattern is determined. In the case of other detailed display patterns, the obtained chance eye pattern determination random number is discarded and the chance eye display is not performed.

  As a chance eye 1 display pattern, there are four or five development symbols when the reach formation line is one line, or a pattern in which different development symbols are displayed on one line, and when the reach formation line is two lines. There are patterns in which four developed symbols or different developed symbols are displayed on one line. In addition, as the chance eye 2 display pattern, there are 6 development symbols when the reach establishment line is one line, all types of development symbols, or development patterns of corresponding reach. Furthermore, there is a pattern in which a corresponding reach development pattern is displayed even when the reach establishment line is 2, 3, or 4. That is, the sub CPU 41 determines the sub symbol combination mode based on the number of sub symbol stops determined by the sub symbol stop number determining means.

  Here, although details of each random number value are not described in FIGS. 14 to 17, a detail display pattern (Hza01, selected at the time of detachment) so that the reliability of the jackpot varies depending on each chance eye display pattern. Hza02, Hzb01, Hzb02, Hzc01, Hzc02, Hzd01, Hzd02, Hze01, Hze02) and a detailed display pattern (Hza21, Hza22, Hzb21, Hzb22, Hzc21, Hzc22, Hzd21, Hzd22, Hze21, Hze22) selected at the time of big hit Thus, the random number values in different ranges are set, and the random number values of each chance eye display pattern are set to be different. For example, in the chance 1 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, when the number of established lines is 1, the random number value is set so that the reliability of the jackpot is higher when the number of development symbols is 5 than when the number of development symbols is 4. Sorting is set. Further, when the number of developed symbols is 4, the distribution of random numbers is set so that the reliability of the jackpot is higher in the cross type than in the cross type. Furthermore, when the number of development symbols is 5, random value distribution is set so that the reliability of the big hit is higher for the middle row reach than for the middle row reach, and the lower right oblique reach than the middle row reach. Random value distribution is set so that the reliability of the jackpot is higher, and the distribution of random numbers is set so that the reliability of the big hit is higher than that for the lower right reach. Has been. Although detailed description is omitted, in the chance eye 2 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, similarly, the random number value is distributed so that the reliability of the jackpot varies depending on the position of the chance line and the number of lines. Has been determined. Thus, the reliability of the jackpot is set to be different depending on the display mode of reach.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 performs a decoration symbol determination lottery (see S130 in FIG. 44). In the decorative symbol determination lottery, one decorative symbol determination random number is acquired from a plurality of random numbers, for example, 0-9. A decorative symbol is determined according to the decorative symbol determining random number acquired at this time and each symbol determined with reference to the chance eye display pattern table (see S126, S127, and S130 in FIG. 44). As shown in FIG. 18A, for example, in FIG. 14 to FIG. 17, in the symbol display area (the first symbol to the ninth symbol in the figure) indicating “developed symbol R”, the decorative symbol determination random number is 0 to In the case of 1, “military” is determined as the decorative symbol, in the case of 2 to 3, “Sake Barrel” is determined, and in the case of 4 to 5, “Bill” is determined. Further, when the decorative design determination random number is 6 to 7, “Folder” is determined as the decorative design, and when “8” to “9”, “Small” is determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18B, in the symbol display area indicating “corresponding developed symbol S”, the decorative symbol is determined by the detailed display pattern (see S124, S128, and S130 in FIG. 44). Specifically, when the detailed display pattern is Hza01 to 10 and Hza21 to 30, “small” is determined as the decorative symbol, and when the detailed display pattern is Hzb01 to 10 and Hzb21 to 30, “fan” is determined as the decorative symbol. In the case of Hzc01 to 10 and Hzc21 to 30, the “handprint” is determined as the decorative pattern. In the case of Hzd01 to 10 and Hzd21 to 30, “sake barrel” is determined as the decorative symbol, and in the case of Hze01 to 10 and Hze21 to 30, “military” is determined as the decorative symbol.

Is determined. Further, in the symbol display area indicating “development symbol 2”, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the decoration symbol determination random number is 0 to 1, “remaining symbol 1” is determined and In this case, the “remaining symbol 2” is determined, the “remaining symbol 3” is determined when the decoration symbol determining random number is 4 to 5, and the “remaining symbol 4” is determined when the decorative symbol determining random number is 4 to 5. The The “remaining symbol 1” to “remaining symbol 4” here are determined by “development symbol 1” among the development symbols of “military”, “sake barrel”, “handprint”, “fan”, and “kominato”. It means one of the symbols other than the selected symbol.

  Further, in the symbol display area indicating “development symbol 3”, as shown in FIG. 19C, when the decoration symbol determination random number is 0 to 2, “remaining symbol 1” is determined, and 3 to 5 In this case, “remaining symbol 2” is determined, and when the decorative symbol determining random number is 6 to 9, “remaining symbol 3” is determined. The “remaining symbol 1” to “remaining symbol 3” are “development symbol 1”, “development” among the development symbols “Military”, “Sake barrel”, “Bill”, “Folding fan”, “Kominato”. It means one of the symbols other than the symbol determined in “Symbol 2”.

  Further, in the symbol display area indicating “development symbol 4”, as shown in FIG. 19D, when the decorative symbol determination random number is 0 to 4, “remaining symbol 1” is determined, In this case, “remaining symbol 2” is determined. The “remaining symbol 1” to “remaining symbol 2” are “development symbol 1”, “development” among the development symbols “military”, “sake barrel”, “handprint”, “fan”, and “kominato”. It means one of the symbols other than the symbols determined in “symbol 2” and “development symbol 3”.

  Then, in the symbol display area indicating “development symbol 5”, as shown in FIG. 19E, “remaining symbol 1” is determined when the decorative symbol determination random number is 0-9. “Remaining design 1” here is “Development design 1”, “Development design 2”, “Development” among the development designs of “Military”, “Sake barrel”, “Handprint”, “Folding fan”, “Kominato”. It means one of the symbols other than the symbols determined in “symbol 3” and “development symbol 4”.

  In addition, a blank symbol is determined as a decorative symbol displayed in the symbol display area marked with “•” in FIGS. In addition, decorative symbols displayed in the symbol display area marked “ANY” include main symbols such as “7”, “Military”, “Handprint”, or blank symbols depending on the detailed display pattern. Either is determined. It should be noted that the main symbol or the developed symbol may also be determined to be displayed in the symbol display area marked “·”. However, when displaying the main symbol and the developed symbol, when the main symbol is displayed on the reach formation line, or when the display is a chance mode other than displaying the determined chance item etc. In this case, the decoration symbols in each symbol display area are determined again.

  The symbol display area 16a in which the chance eye 1 is displayed is as shown in FIGS. FIG. 20A shows an example in which one reach establishment line is displayed and four development symbols are displayed. In this state, the main symbols are displayed in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1 and E9, and the seventh established line L7 is set as the reach established line. In addition, the second, fourth, seventh and eighth symbols are displayed. Four developed symbols are displayed in the display areas E2, E4, E7, and E8. These development symbols are different from each other.

  Another example of chance 1 is shown in FIG. 20B. In this example, the main symbols are displayed in the fourth and sixth symbol display areas E4 and E6, and the second established line L2 is the reach established line. In addition, the first, second, and third symbol display areas E1. , E2 and E3, the developed symbols are displayed, and the developed symbol is displayed on the first formation line L1. In this way, a chance is formed by displaying the combination of the developed symbols on the established line.

  Further, as the chance 2, there is an aspect shown in FIG. In this mode, the main symbols are displayed in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1, E9, the seventh established line is the reach established line, and the other second, third, fourth, sixth, Seven and eighth symbol display areas E2, E3, E4, E6, E7, and E8 display six developed symbols. Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), the main symbols are stopped in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1 and E9, the seventh established line is set as the reach established line, and the second, third, , Fourth, sixth and eighth symbol display areas E2, E3, E4, E6 and E8, five developed symbols are stopped and displayed. Although there are five development symbols here, these development symbols are all different types. Such an aspect is also regarded as a chance second.

  21 (a) to (d) and FIG. 22, a chance eye 2 is displayed, and the first, third, seventh, and ninth symbol display areas E1, E3, and E7 are used as common symbol display areas. , E9, the main symbols are displayed, and the seventh and eighth lines L7 and L8 are reach establishment lines. The second, fourth, sixth, and eighth symbol display areas E2, E4, E6, and E8 display a common development symbol. In FIG. Is “Sake Barrel”, “Handprint” is displayed in (c), “Folding Fan” is displayed in (d), and “Small” is displayed in FIG.

  As described above, when the chance eyes 1 and 2 are displayed, if the chance eye 1 is displayed, the big hit reliability is higher than the case where the chance eye is not displayed, and furthermore, the chance eye 2 is displayed. The player recognizes that the big hit reliability is higher than when the chance eye 1 is displayed. For this reason, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game according to the display mode of the chance.

  Further, in the case of displaying the corresponding development symbol corresponding to the development reach production shown in FIGS. 21A to 21D and FIG. 22, the jackpot reliability is displayed at the stage before the development to the development reach production. Since it is not possible to recognize that it is a high chance eye 2, it is possible to recognize that the chance eye 2 having a high jackpot reliability has been established after the development reach performance has been performed. Therefore, since it is possible to play the game with the expectation of the big hit in the subsequent development reach production, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 performs a development symbol determination lottery for determining a development symbol for notifying that the development reach effect is displayed. In the development symbol determination lottery, one development symbol determination random number is acquired from a plurality of, for example, 0 to 255 random numbers. The development symbol display random pattern and the detailed display pattern determined using the display pattern table are referred to the reach development symbol determination table shown in FIGS. 23 to 29 to determine the development symbol display pattern.

The special lines here include V-shaped lines composed of the first, eighth, and third symbol display areas E1, E8, and E3, and peaks composed of the seventh, second, and ninth symbol display areas E7, E2, and E9. The mold line is set.

  The symbol display area 16a in which the combination of development symbols (development combination mode) is displayed is as shown in FIGS. An example in which the established line is one line is shown in FIG. In this state, the developed symbols of “Army” are displayed in the fourth to sixth symbol display areas E4 to E6 in the second line L2. FIG. 30B shows an example in which the established line is two lines. In this state, the first, fifth, ninth, third, and seventh symbol display areas E1, E5, E9, E3, and E7 in the seventh and eighth lines L7 and L8 have the development pattern of “Army”, respectively. It is displayed.

  Further, FIG. 30C shows another example in which the established line is two lines. In this state, the second, fifth, eighth, fourth, and sixth symbol display areas E2, E5, E8, E4, and E6 in the second and fifth lines L2 and L5 have the development pattern of “Army”, respectively. It is displayed. Furthermore, FIG. 30D shows an example in which the established lines are three lines. In this state, the first to third, fifth, seventh, and ninth symbol display areas E1 to E3, E5, E7, and E9 in the first, seventh, and eighth formation lines are developed in the “army” design. Is displayed.

In this state, the development symbols of “Army” are displayed in the first to seventh symbol display areas E1 to E7 in the first, second, fourth, and eighth lines L1, L2, L4, and L8. An example in which the established line is 5 lines is shown in FIG. In this state, the first to third, fifth, seventh to ninth symbol display areas E1 to E3 in the first, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth lines L1, L4, L5, L7 and L8. E5, E7 to E9 are displayed with the “Military” development symbol. An example in which there are 6 established lines is shown in FIG. In this state, the first, second, fourth, sixth to eighth lines L1, L2, L4, L6 to L8 are assigned to the first to seventh and ninth symbol display areas E1 to E7 and E9, respectively. ”Is displayed. An example in which the established line is 8 lines is shown in FIG. In this state, the developed symbols of “Army” are displayed in the first to ninth symbol display areas E1 to E9 in the first to eighth lines L1 to L8, respectively.

  An example in which the established line is a special line is shown in FIG. Of these, the V shape is shown in FIG. 32A, and the mountain shape is shown in FIG. 32B. In the V-type special line, the developed symbols of “Army” are displayed in the first, eighth, and third symbol display areas E1, E8, and E9, respectively. In the mountain-shaped special line, the developed symbols of “Army” are displayed in each of the seventh, second and ninth symbol display areas.

  Here, the details of each random number value are not described in FIGS. 23 to 29, but the detailed display patterns (Hza03 to Hza10, Hzb03-Hzb10, Hzc03-Hzc10, Hzd03-Hzd10, Hze03-Hze10), and a detailed display pattern (Hza23-Hza30, Hzb23-Hzb30, Hzc23-Hzc30, Hzd23-Hzd30, Hze23-Hze30) selected at the time of big hit Thus, the random number values in different ranges are set, and the random number values of the established lines are set to be different from each other. For example, when a combination of developed symbols is displayed on one line shown in FIG. 23, the middle row is more than the upper row, the lower row is the middle row, the middle row is the left row, and the right row is more reliable than the middle row. The distribution of random values is determined so as to increase the degree. Similarly, in the case of 2 to 8 lines and special lines, the random number value distribution is set so that the reliability of the jackpot varies depending on the established line even if the number of lines is the same.

  Further, the sub-ROM 42 has a big hit decorative symbol determination table and a non-illustrated decorative symbol determination table. The sub CPU 41 analyzes the symbol designation command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 and determines whether or not it is a big hit. As a result, when it is determined that a big hit is made, the reach establishment line and the big hit symbol are determined with reference to the big hit decorative symbol determination table.

  Further, the sub CPU 41 variably displays symbols in each symbol display area based on the determined display pattern and decorative symbols, and performs display control from variable display to stop display. The sub CPU 41 constitutes display control means.

  Further, the sub ROM 42 stores various effect patterns displayed in the display area 16a simultaneously with the decorative symbols. As the effect pattern, various patterns corresponding to the variation content corresponding to the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 are stored. Further, the sub CPU 41 causes the liquid crystal display device 16 to display an effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 among the effect patterns stored in the sub ROM 42. This production pattern includes a development reach production. Development reach direction corresponding to each development pattern, specifically, “Kominato reach direction”, “Folder reach direction”, “Bill reach direction”, “Sake barrel reach direction”, “Military reach direction” Is set. Each of these development reach productions has a different degree of reliability for the jackpot, and as shown in FIG. 13A, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), “Kominato reach production”, “Folder reach production”, “Handle reach production”, “Sake barrel reach production”, Reliability increases in the order of “Military reach production”.

  Further, the development reach effect that is developed when the development symbol is displayed on any of the established lines L1 to L8 is set to be the development reach effect corresponding to the development symbol displayed on the establishment line. For example, the development reach effect that develops when the combination of the development symbols of “Kominato” is stopped and displayed on the first formation line L1 is “Kominato reach effect”.

  Further, in these development reach effects, as shown in FIG. 45 (c), instead of the three-row, three-column decorative design before development, a development reach effect design H consisting of three symbols in one horizontal row is displayed. Is done. Numbers “0” to “9” are set as the symbols for development reach production, and the jackpot symbol is when all three symbols are displayed as the same number. Further, the sub CPU 41 obtains one determined random number from among the plurality of development reach effect designating random numbers, and corresponds to the development from the developed symbols by referring to the stop symbol determining table when the development reach effect is performed. When the detailed display pattern is determined, a development reach design corresponding to the acquired random number is determined (see S89 in FIG. 40).

  The image control circuit 50 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor) 51, a D / A converter 52, an initial reset circuit 53, and image data ROMs (image storage means) 54a and 54b. The VDP 51 forms an image corresponding to the content to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 determined by the sub CPU 41, and outputs the formed image to the D / A converter 52. The D / A converter 52 performs D / A conversion on the image data output from the VDP 51, outputs an analog signal obtained by the conversion to the liquid crystal display device 16, and displays an image. The initial reset circuit 53 receives the reset command from the sub CPU 41 and executes processing for returning the VDP 51 to the initial state. The image data ROM 54a stores image data (image data) indicating decorative symbols, special symbols, characters, backgrounds, etc., and the image data ROM 54b stores image data for displaying various image data on the liquid crystal display device 16. Is remembered. The VDP 51 reads image data corresponding to the decorative symbols and special symbols output from the sub CPU 41 from the image data ROMs 54a and 54b, and causes the liquid crystal display device 16 to display images such as symbols based on the image data.

  The audio control circuit 60 includes a sound source IC 61, an amplifier (hereinafter referred to as “AMP”) 62, and an audio data ROM 63. The sound source IC 61 generates an audio signal using audio data stored in the audio data ROM 63 in accordance with an instruction from the sub CPU 41. The AMP 62 amplifies the audio signal generated by the sound source IC 61 to an appropriate level, supplies the amplified audio signal to the speakers 18L and 18R, and outputs the audio. The sound data ROM 63 stores data (sound data) such as music, sound, and sound effects used for the notice effect, reach effect, jackpot effect, and the like.

  The lamp control circuit 70 uses the decoration data ROM 71 that stores decoration data indicating the blinking pattern of the decoration lamps 19L and 19R and the decoration data stored in the decoration data ROM 71 according to the instruction from the sub CPU 41. , 19R, and a drive circuit 72 for blinking.

  The payout / firing control circuit 80 operates the payout device 81 and the launching device 82 having the firing handle 6c and the firing motor under the control of the main control circuit 30 to pay out a predetermined number of game balls as prize balls. The game ball is fired toward the game area 4 a on the game board 4.

  The power supply unit 24 supplies power to the sub control circuit 40, the main control circuit 30, and the payout / launch control circuit 80 under the control of the sub control circuit 40.

(Operation details of pachinko machines)
Next, among the operation contents of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the procedure of the control processing by the main control circuit 30 and the sub control circuit 40 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 33 is a flowchart (main flowchart) showing an operation procedure of main control processing repeatedly executed by the main control circuit 30 after the power is turned on in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(Operation procedure of main control processing)
As shown in FIG. 33, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the power is turned on, the main CPU 31 of the main control circuit 30 starts the main control process, performs an initial setting process (S1), and then performs a special symbol control process (S2). )I do. This special symbol control process will be described later. Thereafter, a normal symbol control process is performed (S3), a symbol display device control process (S4) is performed, and then a random number update process is performed (S5). Thereafter, the process proceeds to an iterative routine for sequentially executing the processes of steps S2 to S5. Note that this main control process mainly updates the random number used in the main control process, so that the system timer interrupt process is interrupted and executed periodically (for example, every 2 ms) under the condition of setting the interrupt permission flag. The Various commands such as a symbol designation command are output from the main control circuit 30 to the sub control circuit 40 by the command output process of the system timer interrupt process.

  The special symbol control process is performed as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the special symbol control process is started, first, a control state flag is loaded (S11). This control state flag is a flag indicating the state of the special symbol game using the variable display image of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 16, and data for determining which of the subsequent steps the main CPU 31 executes is included. Is set.

  Next, a special symbol memory check process (S12) is performed according to the procedure of the flowchart shown in FIG. When the special symbol memory check process is started, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the control state flag is data “00” indicating the special symbol memory check (S21). As a result, if it is not “00”, the process is terminated. If it is “00”, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls is “0” (S22). As a result, if the reserved number is “0”, a demo display process is performed (S23), and then the process ends. On the other hand, if the reserved number is not “0”, data “01” indicating special symbol variation time management is set in the control state flag (S24).

  When data “01” indicating special symbol variation time management is set in the control state flag, pre-processing for jackpot determination is performed (S25). At this time, the main CPU 31 reads the high probability flag, selects the jackpot determination table, and searches the selected jackpot determination table using the jackpot determination random number.

  Then, based on the result of searching the big hit determination table in the big hit determination pre-processing, it is determined whether or not the big hit is determined as the big hit determination (S26). As a result, if it is a big hit, the special symbol determination table shown in FIG. 7A is referred to to determine the big hit symbol (S27), and if it is not a big hit, the missing symbol is determined (S28). .

  In the jackpot symbol determination process, the type of jackpot is determined from the jackpot symbol random number extracted when the game ball wins the start winning slot 9. As a result, when it is a 15R continuous probability variation big hit, “F” is selected as a special symbol and a symbol designation command z0 is selected, and the selected symbol designation command z0 is set in a transmission buffer provided in the main RAM 33. In the case of 2R continuous probability variation big hit, “A” is selected as a special symbol and the symbol designation command z1 is selected, and the selected symbol designation command z1 is set in the transmission buffer. Furthermore, when the game is a normal big hit, “H” is selected as the special symbol and the symbol designation command z2 is selected, and the selected symbol designation command z2 is set in the transmission buffer.

  Further, in the off symbol determination process, “−” is selected as the special symbol and the symbol designation command z3 is selected, and the selected symbol designation command z3 is set in the transmission buffer provided in the main RAM 33.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 31 determines a variation pattern (S29). In determining the variation pattern, the variation pattern table shown in FIG. 7B is used, one random number is acquired from a plurality of random numbers, for example, 0 to 99, and the variation pattern command is determined based on the result of the jackpot determination in step S26. Select and confirm. The main CPU 31 sets the determined variation pattern command in a transmission buffer provided in the main RAM 33.

  Thereafter, the variation time corresponding to the determined variation pattern is set in the waiting time timer (t) (S30). Then, the storage area used for the current variation is cleared (S31), and the special symbol storage check process ends.

  Returning to the flow shown in FIG. 34, after the special symbol storage check process is completed, a special symbol variation time management process is performed (S13). In the special symbol change time management process, the symbol display process is performed when the control state flag is “01” indicating the special symbol change time management. In the symbol display process, a display process for displaying the special symbol on the special display device 16b in a pattern corresponding to the variation pattern determined in step S29 is performed. After that, when the waiting time timer (t) of the variation time determined in step S30 becomes 0, the data “02” indicating the special symbol display time management is set in the control state flag, and the special symbol variation time is determined. The waiting time after confirmation (for example, 1 second) corresponding to the time of? Is set in the waiting time timer (t). Thus, the special symbol variation time management process is terminated.

  When the special symbol variation time management process is completed, the special symbol display time management process is performed (S14). In the special symbol display time management process, the stop display process is performed when the control state flag is the value “02” indicating the special symbol fixed stop time management. In the stop display process, a process of stopping and displaying the symbol determined in step S27 or step S28 shown in FIG. 35 on the special display device 16b is performed. Thereafter, when the post-decision waiting time timer (t) determined in the special symbol variation time management process becomes 0, a control flag based on the result of the big hit determination in step S26 is set. Specifically, when the result of the big hit determination is a big hit, data “03” indicating the big hit start interval management is set in the control state flag, and the time corresponding to the big hit start interval is set in the waiting time timer (t). set. On the other hand, if the result of the big hit determination is out of place, data “04” indicating the end of the special symbol game is set in the control state flag, and the process is ended.

  After the special symbol display time management process is completed, a jackpot start interval management process is performed (S15). In the big hit start interval management process, when the control state flag is data “03” indicating the big hit start interval management, the big hit start corresponding time set in step S13 is waited. In order to open the winning opening, the variables positioned in the main RAM 33 are updated based on the data read from the main ROM 32. Further, the main CPU 31 sets the data “04” indicating that the special winning opening is being opened in the control state flag, and sets the opening upper limit time in the special winning opening time timer. The opening upper limit time is 29 seconds when the special symbol determined in step S27 is “F” or “H”, and 0.5 seconds when the special symbol determined in step S27 is “A”. And

  Furthermore, a special winning opening opening process is performed (S16). In the special prize opening opening process, the following process is performed when the control status flag is data “04” indicating that the special prize opening is open, and if it is not “04”, it is not performed. That is, the main CPU 31 closes the big prize opening when the big prize opening prize counter is 10 or more, or when the opening upper limit time has passed (the big prize opening time timer is “0”). The variable located in the main RAM 33 is updated. Further, the main CPU 31 sets data “05” indicating that the control state flag indicates the residual ball monitoring in the winning prize mouth, sets the monitoring time (for example, 1 second) in the winning winning mouth residual ball in the waiting time timer, and remains in the winning winning mouth. After the sphere monitoring time has elapsed, it is set to proceed to the next step. If it is not determined that either is satisfied, the process proceeds to the next step without executing the above-described processing.

  Subsequently, a special winning opening residual ball monitoring process is performed (S17). In the special winning opening residual ball monitoring process, the following processing is performed when the control state flag is data “05” indicating the special winning opening residual ball monitoring. The main CPU 31 determines whether or not the special winning opening release counter is a numerical value indicating the final round when the special winning opening residual ball monitoring time has elapsed. The numerical value indicating the final round is “15” in the case of 15R probability variation big hit, normal big hit, and “2” in the case of 2R probability variation big hit. If the result of this determination is the final round, data “07” indicating the big hit end interval is set in the control state flag, and the time corresponding to the big hit end interval (hereinafter referred to as “hit end corresponding time”) is used as the waiting time timer. set. Thus, after the jackpot end corresponding time has elapsed, the jackpot interval processing is set to be executed. If neither of them is satisfied, data “06” indicating the management of reopening waiting time for the big winning opening is set in the control state flag. In addition, the time corresponding to the interval between rounds is set in the waiting time timer, and after the waiting time has elapsed, the waiting time management process before reopening the big winning opening in step S18 is set.

  Subsequently, a waiting time management process before reopening the big winning opening is performed (S18). In the waiting time management process before the big winning opening reopening, when the control state flag is data “06” indicating the waiting time management process before the big winning opening reopening, the process waits for the time corresponding to the interval between rounds. When the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed, the main CPU 31 updates the special winning opening opening number counter by adding “1”, and sets the data “04” indicating that the special winning opening is open to the control state flag. , Set the opening upper limit time in the big prize opening time timer. The opening upper limit time is 29 seconds when the special symbol determined in step S27 is “F” or “H”, and 0.5 seconds when the special symbol determined in step S27 is “A”. And Further, in the waiting time management process before reopening the big winning opening, a main winning opening release command of the sub control circuit 40 is transmitted from the main control circuit 30.

  Then, a jackpot end interval process is performed (S19). In the big hit end interval process, as shown in FIG. 36, it is determined whether or not the control state flag is “07” indicating the big hit end interval (S32). If it is not “07”, the big hit end interval process is ended. If the control flag is “07”, it is determined whether or not the waiting time timer (t) corresponding to the big hit end interval is “0”. If not, the big hit end interval process is finished (S33). . If the waiting time timer (t) is “0”, “08” indicating the end of the special symbol game is set in the control state flag (S34).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won (whether the jackpot symbol selected in step 27 is a probability variation jackpot symbol or a normal jackpot symbol) (S35). As a result, if the probability change is won, the probability change game state command for shifting to the probability change game state after the big hit ends is set in the transmission buffer, and the high probability flag is set (S36). Then, a time-short gaming state flag for transitioning to the time-saving gaming state after the big hit ends is set in the transmission buffer, and the time-shorting flag is set (S37). On the other hand, if the winning change is not won, the short-time gaming state command for shifting to the short-time gaming state after the big hit ends is set in the transmission buffer, and the short-time flag is set (S38). A time-count counter is set to a predetermined number, for example, 100 (S39). In this way, the jackpot end interval process is completed.

  Returning to FIG. 34, when the big hit end interval process is completed, a special symbol game end process is performed (S20). The following processing is performed when the control state flag is data “08” indicating the special symbol game end processing, and if it is not “08”, the processing is not performed. The main CPU 31 updates the data indicating the number of holds to be decreased by “1”, and sequentially shifts the count values of the jackpot determination random number counter and the jackpot stop mode selection random number counter. When step S20 ends, the special symbol control process of step S2 ends.

  When the special symbol control process ends in this way, the process returns to FIG. 33, and the normal symbol control process is performed (S3). In the normal symbol control process, control related to the normal symbol displayed on the symbol display device 16b is performed. When the normal symbol control process is started, the normal symbol control state flag is read, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol and the mode of the stopped normal symbol are monitored according to the flag. And when the mode of the normal symbol is a predetermined mode, the variable indicating the opening and closing of the blade 9a is stored in the main RAM 33, and the normal symbol control process is terminated.

  Then, a symbol display device control process is performed (S4). In the symbol display device control processing, display control of variable display such as the special symbol J and the normal symbol N shown in FIG. 4 is performed based on the result of the special symbol control processing in step S2 and the normal symbol control processing in step S3.

  Thereafter, random number update processing is performed (S5). Here, random number update processing is performed to update the random symbol for loss symbol, the random number for reach determination, the random number for effect condition selection, etc. by a predetermined calculation method, and the processing is terminated. Then, the process returns to step S2 and the repeat routine is repeated.

(System timer interrupt processing procedure)
In the main control circuit 30, the random number used in the main control process is updated mainly on the condition that the interrupt permission flag is set together with the main control process described above. The system timer interrupt process for interrupting the control process is executed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the procedure of the system timer interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 37, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 starts the system timer interrupt process, the program address data and the like being executed in the main control process stored in the storage area (register) in the memory are temporarily saved. (S41), random number update processing is performed (S42). In the random number update process, the main CPU 31 performs a process of updating the big hit determination random number or the big hit symbol determination random number. When the random number update processing is completed, switch input detection processing is performed (S43).

  In the switch input detection process, a prize ball related switch input check, a special symbol game related switch input check, and a normal symbol related switch input check are performed. In the special symbol game related switch input check, the output of the detection signal of each of the count switch 11CS and the start winning opening switch 9S is checked, and if there is an output from the starting winning opening switch 9S, the start memory number counter is less than 4 The following processing is performed. In addition, when the starting memory number counter is 4 or more, a random number is stored as a starting memory up to 4 when a game ball is won in the starting winning opening 9 during variable display or big hit, so the following processing is performed. Not performed.

  Then, the jackpot determination random number is extracted from the jackpot determination random number counter, and the jackpot symbol random number is extracted from the jackpot symbol determination random number counter. Further, the extracted jackpot determination random number and the jackpot symbol random number are stored in the main RAM 33, and these random numbers are used for the jackpot determination and the jackpot symbol determination process in steps S26 to S27. This completes the switch input detection process.

  When the switch input detection process is completed, a timer update process is performed (S44). In the timer update process, the waiting time timer is updated. After the timer update process, a game information data generation process is performed (S45). In the game information data generation process, an output signal from the pachinko gaming machine 1 to a hall computer (not shown) is generated. Then, output processing is performed by controlling ON / OFF of each solenoid and motor based on the data stored in the main RAM 33 (S46), and then command output for outputting various commands is performed (S47). In command output, various commands such as symbol designation commands and variation pattern commands set in the transmission buffer are transmitted from the command output port 35 to the sub-control circuit 40.

  Subsequently, a lamp control process (S48) and a payout process (S49) are performed. In the lamp control process, a lamp blinking command is output to the sub-control circuit 40. In the payout process, a prize ball command including data indicating the number of prize balls is output to the payout device 81. The payout device 81 pays out a prize ball corresponding to the prize ball command. After the payout process is completed, the saved program address data register of the main control process is restored (S50), and the main control process is resumed from the point where it was interrupted (saved). Thereafter, the variables, flags, etc. of the main RAM 33 are updated to permit interrupts (S51), and the system timer interrupt process ends.

(Sub-control circuit operation procedure)
Next, the operation of the sub control circuit 40 will be described. The sub control circuit 40 performs a symbol display control, a sound control, a lamp control, and the like by receiving a command transmitted from the main control circuit 30. FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing a procedure of sub control processing repeatedly executed by the sub control circuit 40.

  As shown in FIG. 38, the sub CPU 41 first performs a predetermined initialization process (S61), and then performs a random number update process (S62). Subsequently, command analysis control processing of various commands transmitted from the main control circuit 30 and stored in the reception buffer is performed (S63). The command analysis control process will be described in detail later. Then, display control processing is performed based on the result of this command analysis control processing (S64). In the display control process, the symbol display control is performed based on the decorative symbol and the display pattern determined in the command analysis process, and then the background display control process is performed.

  Thereafter, a sound control process is performed (S65). In the sound control process, a sound control process related to the sound generated from the speakers 18L and 18R is performed based on a command from the main control circuit 30. In this sound control process, the sound source IC 61 reads the sound data from the sound data ROM 63, converts the sound data into a predetermined sound signal, and supplies the sound signal to the AMP 62. The AMP 62 amplifies the sound signal and generates sound from the speakers 18L and 18R.

  Subsequently, a lamp control process is performed (S66). In the lamp control process, a lamp control process related to blinking of the decorative lamps 19L and 19R is executed based on a command from the main control circuit 30. In this lamp control process, the sub CPU 41 reads the lamp decoration pattern from the decoration data ROM 71 and blinks the decoration lamps 19L and 19R via the drive circuit 72. Thereafter, step S62 to step S66 are repeatedly executed.

  Next, processing when a command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 is received will be described. As shown in FIG. 39, when the sub control circuit 40 receives a command transmitted from the main control circuit 30, first, the protection register is saved (S71). Next, the command input by the transmission from the main control circuit 30 is stored in the reception buffer in the sub RAM 43 (S72). Subsequently, the register is restored (S73). Thus, the process upon receiving the command ends.

  Next, the command analysis control process shown in step S63 of FIG. 38 will be described. FIG. 40 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of command analysis control processing. As shown in FIG. 40, in the command analysis control process, first, the sub-control circuit 40 determines whether or not it has received a variation pattern command from the main control circuit 30 (S81). Specifically, it is confirmed whether a variation pattern command is stored in the reception buffer. As a result, if a variation pattern command has been received, display pattern determination processing is performed (S82).

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the display pattern determination process. As shown in FIG. 41, a display pattern is selected and determined (S91). The display pattern is determined by acquiring a display pattern determination random number by display pattern determination lottery, and displaying the acquired display pattern determination random number and the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 in the display pattern table shown in FIG. This is done by reference.

  After determining the display pattern, it is determined whether or not the display pattern is reached (S92). The determination as to whether or not the reach is made is made based on whether or not the received variation pattern command corresponds to the variation pattern command (h2 to h5) corresponding to the reach. Here, “reach” includes not only the main symbol reach state before the development reach effect design H is displayed, but also the mode of development from the development design to the super reach.

  As a result, if it is determined that it is reach, the subsequent detailed display pattern determination process is performed, and thus the display pattern determination process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if the variation pattern commands transmitted from the main control circuit 30 are h0, h1, and h6 and it is determined that the change is not reach, non-reach pattern determination processing is performed (S93). In the non-reach pattern determination process, the display pattern of the decorative symbol and the stop timing for stopping and displaying the decorative symbol in each symbol display area are determined. As the display pattern in the non-reach pattern determination process, the display pattern selected in step S91 is determined as it is. The stop timing in the non-reach pattern determination process is the time from when the first stop symbol is stopped and displayed until the second stop symbol is stopped, and after the second stop symbol is stopped and displayed, the third stop symbol. Is set to be substantially the same as the time from when the third stop symbol is stopped to be displayed and the time from when the third stop symbol is stopped to the fourth stop symbol. The decorative symbols displayed in each symbol display area are determined in the subsequent step S129. After the non-reach pattern determination process is completed, non-reach pattern data is set (S94). Thus, the display pattern determination process is completed.

  After the display pattern determination process is completed, a detailed display pattern determination process is subsequently performed (S83). In the detailed display pattern determination process, a detailed display pattern determination random number is obtained by performing a detailed display pattern determination lottery. Next, when the display pattern is any one of hz2 to hz8 and hz14 to hz26, the display pattern selected in step S91 and the detailed display pattern determination random number acquired in the detailed display pattern determination lottery are shown in FIGS. The detailed display pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 is referred to, and the detailed display content is determined to be either the development from reach or the development from development pattern. If the variation pattern command is h0, h1, or h6 that is not any of h2 to h5, the acquired detailed display pattern determination random number is discarded, and the process proceeds to the next step without determining the detailed display pattern.

  When the detailed display pattern determination process is thus completed, the reach correspondence determination process is performed (S84). The reach correspondence determination process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. In the reach correspondence determination process, first, it is determined whether or not it is reach (S101). The determination of whether or not reach is made in the same manner as in step S92. As a result, if it is determined that it is not reach, the reach correspondence determination process is ended because the non-reach pattern has already been determined in step S93.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it is a reach, it is determined whether or not it will be developed into a super reach (S102). The determination as to whether or not to develop into super reach is made based on whether or not the received variation pattern command corresponds to the variation pattern command (h3, h5) corresponding to super reach. As a result, if it is determined not to be developed into super reach, the process proceeds to step S107, and if it is determined to be developed into super reach, it is determined whether or not it is developed from reach (S103). The determination as to whether or not the development is from reach is determined by the detailed display pattern determination processing in step S83.

  As a result, when it is determined that the development is not the development from the reach, the reach correspondence determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the development is from the reach, it is determined whether or not the chance eye is displayed (S104). Whether or not it is a chance is determined by the detailed display pattern determination processing in step S83. Specifically, the detailed display patterns determined using the detailed display pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. In the case of Hzb21 to Hzb22, Hzc21 to Hzc22, Hzd21 to Hzd22, and Hze21 to Hze22, it is determined that the chance eye is displayed.

  As a result, when it is determined that the chance eye is displayed, a chance eye display pattern determination process is performed (S105). In the chance eye pattern determination process, the display pattern of the decorative symbol and the stop timing for stopping and displaying the decorative symbol in each symbol display area are determined. Determination of a chance eye display pattern in the chance eye pattern determination process is performed using a chance eye display pattern determination table shown in FIGS. The decorative symbols displayed in each symbol display area are determined in the subsequent step S129.

  When the chance eye display pattern is determined in this way, chance eye display pattern data is set (S106). Subsequently, reach formation line determination processing is performed (S107). In addition, when it is determined in step S101 that no chance eye is displayed, reach establishment line determination processing is performed (S107). In the reach establishment line determination process, the reach establishment line is determined. When the reach formation line is determined, when the chance eyes are displayed, the chance eye display pattern determination tables shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 are used simultaneously with the determination of the chance eyes. Further, when the chance is not displayed, a reach establishment line of 1 to 8 lines is determined with reference to a separately established establishment line determination table.

  When the reach establishment line pattern is determined in this way, reach establishment line data is set (S108), and the reach correspondence determination process is terminated.

  Returning to FIG. 39, when the reach correspondence determination process is completed, a temporary stop symbol formation pattern determination process is performed (S85). The temporary stop symbol formation pattern determination process is performed along the flow shown in FIG. In the temporary stop symbol formation pattern determination process, it is determined whether or not the development is a development from the development symbol (S111). Whether or not the development is based on the developed symbol is determined based on the detailed display pattern determined with reference to the detailed display pattern determination table. As a result of determining whether or not the development is based on the developed symbol, if it is determined that the development is not based on the developed symbol, the temporary stop symbol formation pattern determining process is terminated as it is.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the development is based on the development symbol, a formation pattern determination process for the development symbol is performed (S112). In the development symbol formation line pattern determination process, a development symbol formation line pattern is determined. The determination of the formation line pattern of the developed symbol is performed with reference to the reach development symbol determining table shown in FIGS.

  Further, the established line pattern of the developed symbol determined in this way is set in the data (S113). And the temporary stop symbol formation pattern determination process is complete | finished.

  Returning to FIG. 40, after the temporary stop symbol formation pattern determination process is completed, it is determined whether or not a symbol designation command has been received (S86). As a result, if it is determined that the symbol designating command has not been received, other processing corresponding to the received command is executed, and the command analysis processing is terminated. On the other hand, if a symbol designation command has been received, an 8-line stop symbol determination process is performed (S87).

  The 8-line stop symbol determination process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. In the 8-line stop symbol determination process, first, it is determined whether or not it is a reach (S121). The determination as to whether or not reach is made based on the display pattern determined with reference to the display pattern table shown in FIG. As a result, when it is determined that it is not reach, the non-reach pattern data set in step S94 is referred to (S122).

  If it is determined that it is a reach, it is determined whether or not the development pattern is developed (S123). Whether to develop from the developed symbol is determined based on the detailed display pattern determined with reference to the detailed display pattern determination table. As a result, when it is determined that the development is from the development symbol, the established line pattern data of the development symbol set in step S113 is referred to (S124).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the development is not the development pattern, it is determined whether or not the chance eye is displayed (S125). Whether or not to display the chance eye is determined based on the detailed display pattern determined with reference to the detailed display pattern determination table.

  As a result, when it is determined that the chance eye is displayed, the chance eye display pattern data set in step S104 is referred to (S126). Then, after referring to the chance eye display pattern data and when it is determined not to display the chance eye in step S125, the reach establishment line data set in step S105 is referred to (S127).

  Thus, when each data is referred to in steps S122, S124, S126, and S127, the display pattern determined in step S91 is referred to (S128). For example, when a display pattern in which a jackpot symbol is displayed after the super reach is displayed from the developed symbol is determined, if a large number of military symbols are displayed as the developed symbol, the military reach is easily developed. Then, the symbol designation command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 is referred to (S129). Then, a stop symbol is determined based on each data and a symbol designation command (S130). When determining a stop symbol, refer to symbol designation commands and display patterns in the tables shown in FIGS. 8, 14 to 19, and 23 to 29, which correspond to the data to be referred to, respectively. Acquire and determine each stop symbol.

  For example, when any of z0 to z2 is received as the symbol designation command, the stop symbol is determined so that the stop symbol in each symbol display area of one or more established lines L1 to L8 becomes the main symbol. When z3 is received as the symbol designating command, the stop symbol is determined so that the main symbol “7” is not determined as the stop symbol in each symbol display area of the established lines L1 to L8. If the main symbol “7” is selected as the stop symbol in each symbol display area of the established lines L1 to L8, the stop symbol is selected again. Furthermore, when it is determined that the reach is not reached with reference to the display pattern shown in FIG. 8, the stop symbol is determined so that the main symbol “7” does not reach the main symbol reach state in each symbol display area. If the stop symbol is selected so that the main symbol “7” is in the main symbol reach state in each symbol display area, the stop symbol is selected again.

  When the stop symbol is determined in this way, the symbol designation command is cleared (S131), and the 8-line stop symbol determination process ends.

  When the 8-line stop symbol determination process (S87) is completed, a development reach effect symbol determination process is performed (S88). In the design process for the development reach effect, the detailed display pattern is referred to, and when the development reach effect is performed, one determined random number obtained from the design reach random numbers for the development reach effect is adopted, and according to the acquired random number. Determine the design for the development reach. Further, when the development reach effect is not performed, one determined random number acquired from the design reach random numbers for the development reach effect is discarded. Further, in the development reach effect design determination process, the design designation command transmitted from the main control circuit 30 is referenced to determine the development reach design H. The sub CPU 41 performs a development reach effect design symbol determination lottery, and in the development reach effect design symbol determination lottery, a single development reach effect design symbol determination random number is obtained from a plurality of random numbers, for example, 0-9. Based on the development reach effect designating random number acquired at this time, the development reach design H is determined. Thus, the command analysis process ends.

  Next, the flow of the special symbol game will be described. In the special symbol game, when the game ball wins the start winning port 9 and the start winning port switch 9S outputs the detection signal of the game ball to the main control circuit 30, the main control circuit 30 performs a big hit lottery. The main control circuit 30 selects and determines a symbol designation command from the special symbol determination table shown in FIG. 7A based on the lottery result, and also changes the variation pattern command from the variation pattern table shown in FIG. Select and select. The main control circuit 30 transmits the selected symbol designation command and variation pattern command to the sub control circuit 40, respectively. The sub-control circuit 40 determines a decorative design based on the received design specifying command, and determines a variation effect pattern from the determined decorative design and the received variation pattern table.

  In the display area 16a, before the game ball wins the start winning opening 9, each decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in the nine symbol display areas. Further, in the symbol display device 16b shown in FIG. 4, the special symbol J is stopped and displayed. From this state, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 9, the decorative symbols and special symbols J in the symbol display areas E1 to E9 start to be displayed in a variable manner as shown in FIG. In addition, the downward arrow in the figure means that the decorative symbol is being displayed in a variable manner.

  Then, after a predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 45 (b), the decorative symbols (first stop symbols) in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1 and E9 are stopped and displayed (temporary stop display). The Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 45C, the decorative symbols (second stop symbols) in the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth symbol display areas E2, E4, E6, and E8 are stopped and displayed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 46A, the decorative symbols (third stop symbols) in the third and seventh symbol display areas E3 and E7 are stopped and displayed, and finally the decorative symbols (final in the fifth symbol display area E5). The stop symbol is stopped. In addition, when the development symbol is displayed and then the development reaches the development reach effect, the characters “reach” are displayed as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the screen is faded out white, and the development pattern of the gavel is displayed so as to rotate, the development design is switched to the design for development reach production, and the development reach production as shown in FIG. 46C is displayed. An example of the development reach effect shown in FIG.

  Thus, in this embodiment, it is provided with the sub symbol combination mode determining means for determining the combination mode of the sub symbols that are stopped and displayed in the plurality of symbol display areas E1 to E9. Based on this, it is possible to determine the sub-pattern combination mode. Thereby, it becomes possible to change the combination mode of the sub-symbol to be stopped and displayed in the case of big hit and the case of loss. For this reason, the big hit expectation degree can be notified by the combination aspect of the sub-symbol stopped and displayed in the plurality of symbol display areas E1 to E9. For example, when “chance 2” is displayed, the player can know that the probability of winning a big hit is high, and the interest in the number of sub-symbol stops increases. As a result, the role of the sub-symbol can be increased even when the sub-combination development combination mode is not displayed, and the player's expectation for the jackpot can be increased. The interest can be improved.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, even if the main symbol “7” is not displayed in each of the symbol display areas E1 to E9, the developed symbols are displayed on the formation line or four or more are displayed. In such a case, there is a possibility that it will be a big hit by developing into a development reach production. For this reason, the player can maintain a sense of expectation for the big hit even when the main symbols are not displayed in the symbol display areas E1 to E9.

  In addition, even if the main symbol reaches the main symbol reach state on the first formation line and then shifts to the main symbol state, the combination of the development symbols is displayed on the other second formation line, which develops to the development reach production. There is still a possibility to do. For example, as shown in FIG. 47 (a), as the first stop symbol, the developed symbols of “Army” in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1 and E9 are displayed, and subsequently, as shown in FIG. 47 (b). Assume that the main symbol is displayed in the fourth and sixth symbol display areas E4 and E6 as the second stop symbol. At this stage, the player pays attention to the reach state of the main symbol in the second formation line L2, and concentrates on whether or not it is a big hit.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 48 (a), the developed symbol of “Army” is displayed in the seventh symbol display area E7 as the third stop symbol. At this stage, the combination of the developed symbols is established on the third established line L3, and as shown in FIG. 48 (b), the big hit symbol is displayed on the second established line L2 as the fourth stop symbol. In other words, as shown in FIG. 48 (c), as the fourth stop symbol, the big winning symbol is not displayed on the second formation line, and the development reaches the development reach. Here, therefore, even when a sub-symbol that is not directly a big hit even if it is displayed on the established line is displayed on the established line, the player can maintain a sense of expectation.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 49 (a), the first, fourth, and sixth symbol display areas E1, E4, and E6 are displayed with the “Kominato” development symbol, and the second, eighth, and ninth symbol display areas. It is assumed that the development symbol “Military” is displayed in E2, E8, and E9, and the fifth symbol display area E5 is in a variable display. At this time, as shown in FIG. 49 (b), when the development symbol of “Kosuge” is displayed in the fifth symbol display area E 5, the combination of “Kosuge” is established in the second establishment line L 2, ”. Further, as shown in FIG. 49 (c), when the development pattern of “military” is displayed in the fifth symbol display area E5, the combination of “military” is established in the fifth establishment line L5, and “military reach” Develops into Thus, since it develops into the development reach production corresponding to the development pattern of the combination established in the establishment line, it is possible to increase the interest in the player.

  Here, as can be seen from the display-based jackpot reliability table shown in FIG. 13A, the “military reach” is set to have a higher reliability for the jackpot than the “minor reach”. For this reason, it is possible to make the player desire that “fellowship” is displayed rather than “gavel” in the fifth symbol display area E5. In this way, an object of interest to the player can be given by an expanded design other than the main design, and the interest can be improved.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 50 (a), "Folder" is developed in the first and ninth symbol display areas E1 and E9, and "Military" is developed in the third and seventh symbol display areas E3 and E7. It is assumed that the “Folder” development symbol is displayed in the symbols, the fourth and sixth symbol display areas E4 and E6, and the fifth symbol display area E5 is variably displayed. In this case, since six development symbols are stopped and displayed, the development effect develops. However, when a combination of development symbols is displayed on the established line, the development symbol development develops corresponding to the development symbol.

  Here, “Sagaru Reach” is more reliable than “Folder Reach”, and “Military Reach” is more reliable than “Sagaru Reach”. Therefore, it is possible to make the player want the fifth symbol display area E5 to stop “Sagaru” from “Folder” and “Military” from “Sake”. Here, the variable display in the fifth symbol display area E5 is as follows, except for the blank symbol, as shown in FIG. 50 (b). → ... in this order. For this reason, since the development symbols that the player desires to be displayed appear in sequence slowly, it is possible to enhance the player's feeling of exaltation.

  Further, as can be seen from the development line reliability table shown in FIG. 13B, when the chance eye is displayed, the reliability differs depending on the mode of the chance eye, and the chance eye 1 is greater than when the chance eye is not displayed. When displayed, the reliability is set higher, and further, the chance eye 2 is set higher than the chance eye 1. Further, in the case of development from the developed pattern, except for the special type, the higher the number of lines displayed, the higher the reliability than the lower number displayed. For this reason, it is possible to make the player desire to display the second item rather than the first chance item or to display the combination of the developed symbols on a larger number of lines. In this way, an object of interest to the player can be given by an expanded design other than the main design, and the interest can be improved.
