The second big hit execution flag is set in the same step in the second special symbol process corresponding to the above (until it is determined as Y in S30 of FIG. 16)), and the display result of the first determination variation display unit Is determined not to be the specific display result (Y is determined in S34 of FIG. 16 and the big hit determination in S36 is not performed and the first big hit flag is not set) The displacement) specific period determining means (S34 in FIG 16, further comprising similar steps) in the second special symbol process treatment,
Regulation for executing predetermined control that does not satisfy the first start condition when the specific gaming state is executed based on the specific display result being derived and displayed on the second determination variation display unit Control means (S90 in the first special symbol variation processing of FIG. 19 in the first special symbol process processing becomes Y to set the first interruption flag, so that the first special symbol process timer is not subtracted in S84. The part where the variation display result is not derived and displayed, the part where Y is changed to S30 in FIG. 16 and the variable display is not started by not proceeding to the next process, and the same as those in the second special symbol process. Part).

  According to such a configuration, when the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first variation display in the first determination variation display unit is performed in the variation display unit for decoration, the variation region is displayed. The variable area is set to a variable region where the variable display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the second variable display in the second determination variable display unit is executed. As a result, when the variation area is increased in the display of the decorative variation display section, the variation area in the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the second variation display is set to the increased variation area. As a result, a variation display in which the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the second variation display is added to the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first variation display is displayed, so that the player feels uncomfortable. Without giving, it is possible to cause the decoration variation display section to execute the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to each of the plurality of determination variation display sections. In addition, when the variation display in which the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the second variation display in the second determination variation display unit is added is executed, the player's interest can be improved.

  Further, until the display result is derived and displayed on the second determination variation display unit based on the determination that the display result of the second variation display of the second determination variation display unit is the specific display result. In the specific period, it is determined that the display result of the first determination variation display unit is not the specific display result. Furthermore, when the specific game state based on the fact that the specific display result is derived and displayed on the second determination variation display unit is being executed, predetermined control that does not satisfy the first start condition is executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the specific gaming state from occurring simultaneously due to the variation display results of the first determination variation display unit and the second determination variation display unit.

(5) Based on the determination by the first determination means, the variation pattern of the first variation display performed in the first determination variation display unit is selected from a plurality of predetermined variation patterns. First variation pattern selection means (S67 of FIG. 18 in the first special symbol process),
Based on the determination by the second determination means, a second variation pattern for selecting the second variation display performed in the second determination variation display section is selected from a plurality of predetermined variation patterns. And a variation pattern selection means (the same step as S67 of FIG. 18 in the second special symbol process).
The first determination means prohibits from determining whether or not the display result of the first variation display of the first variation display unit for determination is the specific display result by lottery. A determination prohibiting means for determining that the result is not obtained (a portion that is determined to be Y in S34 of FIG. 16 and the jackpot determination process of S36 is not executed, and is forcibly disconnected);
When the first variation pattern selecting means determines that the specific prohibition result is not used by the determination prohibiting means, and when the first determination means determines that the display result is not the specific display result. Thus, the variation pattern for variation display is selected by executing the same program (S63 to S67 in FIG. 18).

  According to such a configuration, the same program is used when the determination prohibiting unit determines that the specific display result is not used and when the first determination unit determines that the display result is not the specific display result. By executing, a variation pattern of variation display is selected. Accordingly, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated program for selecting a variation pattern for variation display when it is determined that the specific display result is not to be obtained by the specific period determination means, and thus it is possible to suppress an increase in control program capacity. it can.

  (6) When the first variation pattern selection unit selects the variation pattern of the variation display performed when the determination limiting unit determines that the specific display result is not used, the second determination unit selects the first variation pattern selection unit. The variation pattern selected by the second variation pattern selection means when the display result of the variation display of 2 is determined as the specific display result (stored in the first variation pattern table of FIG. 6A). Are stored in a plurality of types of variation patterns (a second variation pattern table in FIG. 5B) including variation patterns in which a variation display time longer than the variation display time set in the jackpot determination variation pattern is set. Variation pattern) is selected.

  According to such a configuration, when the variation pattern of the variation display performed when it is determined that the specific period determination unit does not obtain the specific display result, the second determination unit displays the second variation display. A plurality of types including a variation pattern having a variation display time set longer than the variation display time set to the variation pattern selected by the second variation pattern selection means when it is determined that the result is the specific display result. A variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns. As a result, it is possible to select a variation pattern having a variation display time set longer than the variation display time set to the variation pattern selected when the display result of the variation display is determined to be the specific display result. The display result is derived and displayed on the second determination variation display unit based on the determination that the display result of the variation display of the second determination variation display unit is the specific display result due to the presence of the variation pattern. In the specific period until the display is performed, it is possible to suppress a large number of variable displays that are determined not to be displayed as the specific display results by the specific period determination unit. When it is determined to be the specific display result, the number of variable displays that are determined not to be the specific display result can be reduced.

(7) When variation display of the decoration identification information is started in the variation variation display unit for decoration, the first retention storage number by the first retention storage unit and the second retention memory unit by the second retention storage unit A total value subtraction display means (S282 in FIG. 27) for subtracting and displaying a display capable of specifying the total value displayed by the hold storage display means based on the number of reserved storage;
The variation display execution means executes the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variation display section, and the decoration identification information corresponding to the second determination variation display section. When the variable display is started, the variable display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variable display unit is advantageous for the player (for example, FIG. 24, FIG. 31, FIG. 36, FIG. 40). When it is determined in S232 that a notice effect is to be performed, effect execution means (notice effect for increasing reach line as shown in FIGS. 9, 30, 34, and 39) is executed (FIGS. 24 and 31). 36, FIG. 40, S255 to S259, FIG. 26, S262, FIG. 25, S303),
The total value subtraction display means subtracts the display that can specify the total value displayed by the hold storage display means when the effect that is advantageous to the player is executed by the effect execution means. Means (S282 in FIG. 27 when giving a notice effect) is included.

  According to such a configuration, the first on-hold storage displayed by the on-hold storage display means is displayed based on the first on-hold storage number and the second on-hold storage number when the decorative identification information is displayed in a variable manner. A display capable of specifying the total value of the number and the second reserved storage number is subtracted. Then, when the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variation display unit is executed when a predetermined effect execution condition is satisfied, the second determination variation display unit When the variation display to which the variation display of the corresponding decoration identification information is added is executed, an effect that the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variation display unit is advantageous to the player is executed. Will be. In addition, when the decoration identification information is displayed in a variable manner, when such an effect advantageous to the player is executed, the total value displayed by the on-hold storage display means when the effect is executed is specified. Possible displays are subtracted. As a result, when the decorative identification information is displayed in a variable manner, a display capable of specifying the total value of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number displayed by the reserved memory display means is subtracted and displayed. However, such effects can give the player an impression that is advantageous to the player, and can give the player a sense of expectation without distrusting the player. Can be improved.

(8) The variation display execution means includes:
When starting the variable display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variable display unit, when the second variable display is held in the second hold storage means, the decoration identification information Control state in which at least a part of the identification information for decoration displayed in the state in which the display result is derived and displayed is derived (maintaining the state in which the display result is derived and displayed) Control means (S246 in FIGS. 24, 31, 36, and 40);
When executing the second variation display, variation display using the decoration identification information including the decoration identification information controlled by the state control means is performed (FIGS. 11 and 35). Control information variation means (FIG. 26) S267, S269, and S303) of FIG.

  According to such a configuration, when starting the first variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variation display portion, the decoration identification information corresponding to the second determination variation display portion is displayed. When the second variable display is put on hold, control is performed so that at least a part of the decoration identification information is derived from the decoration identification information. When executing the second variation display, the variation display using the decoration identification information including the decoration identification information controlled in the state derived as described above is performed. Thus, when the second variation display is performed in this way, the second variation display using the decoration identification information including the decoration identification information controlled to the state derived when starting the first variation display. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the process of selecting in which variation area the second variation display is performed, and to reduce the control burden of the variation display execution means when performing the variation display of the decoration identification information. be able to.

(9) Fluctuation display time measuring means (first special symbol process processing) for measuring a fluctuation display time as a time from the start time to the end time of the second fluctuation display executed in the second determination fluctuation display section. S84 in the first special symbol variation process of FIG. 19, and the same step in the second special symbol process)),
When the fluctuation display time measured by the fluctuation display time measuring means has passed the fluctuation display time predetermined for the second fluctuation display being executed, the display result of the second fluctuation display is derived and displayed. Fluctuation display derivation display means for performing control (S143 and S144 in FIG. 14 in the first special symbol process, S85 in FIG. 19, S100a and 100b in FIG. 20, and similar steps in the second special symbol process) Further including

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a game ball, which is a game medium stored in the hit ball supply tray 3 as an upper plate, is ejected in response to operation of the hit ball operation handle 5, and is placed on the game board 6. A game is played by driving into the formed game area 7. Then, if a prize is generated by the game, a payout condition is established, and based on the establishment of the payout condition, a prize ball as a prize game medium is paid out as a prize.

  In the game area 7, a first special symbol display 8 and a second special symbol display 9 as a variation display for determination are arranged at a predetermined interval. The first special symbol display 8 has a plurality of types of identification information for determination (for example, “0”) that can be identified based on establishment of a predetermined start condition (for example, winning to the start winning opening 14 where the hit ball is closed). This is a variable display unit that performs a variable display of the first special symbol (sometimes referred to as a first special variable display) as a total of ten types of numerical symbols from “9” to “9” and derives and displays the display result. When the display result of the variable display on the first special symbol display 8 is a jackpot display result that is a predetermined jackpot symbol (for example, an odd symbol), the first jackpot is generated, and the identification that is advantageous to the player The first big hit gaming state as the gaming state (big hit gaming state) is controlled.

  The second special symbol display 9 has a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “0” to “0”), each of which can be identified on the basis of establishment of a predetermined start condition (for example, winning to the start winning opening 14 where the hit ball is open). It is a variation display unit that performs variation display of the second special symbol (sometimes referred to as second special variation display) as “9” (10 kinds of numeric symbols) and derives and displays the display result. When the display result of the variable display on the second special symbol display 9 is a jackpot display result that is a predetermined jackpot symbol (for example, an odd symbol), a second jackpot is generated, which is advantageous for the player. The first big hit game state is controlled as the game state (big hit game state).

  Each of the 1st special symbol display 8 and the 2nd special symbol display 9 is comprised by the 7 segment display. The variable display on each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 means that the above-described update display is performed while blinking the symbols. The first special symbol display 8 may be referred to as a first special symbol variation display unit. The second special symbol display 9 may be called a second special symbol variation display unit.

Similarly, the 2nd special symbol storage memory display 11 is provided so that the 2nd special symbol display 9 may be pinched | interposed from right and left.

  In this embodiment, the case where the special symbol is a numeric symbol is shown as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special symbol is other identification information such as characters, figures, patterns, etc. other than the numeric symbol. It may be a design in which is shown. The special symbol variation display may be updated by scrolling the symbol in a predetermined direction, or may be updated by switching the symbol, and updated while rotating the symbol around the virtual axis. It may be a thing. In addition, the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 are not limited to the 7-segment display, but use liquid crystal display devices, CRTs, plasma displays, electroluminescence, or dot matrix displays. Alternatively, an image display type that displays an image may be used. The first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 may be mechanical, such as a rotary drum type display device. Deriving and displaying the display result allows the player to recognize that “variable display” is being performed and that the display of the display is derived after “variable display” has ended. Any aspect that can be used.

  Below the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9, a plurality of types of decorative identification information (for example, “0” to “ Decorative display as a decorative variable display unit that displays a display result by performing variable display (also referred to as variable display) on a predetermined variable display mode such as scroll display, etc. A variable display device 90 is provided. Here, the decorative symbols change in a predetermined relationship with the variable displays of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in order to enhance the decorative effect of the variable displays of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. A symbol with a decorative meaning to be displayed. The variation display of the first special symbol, that is, the variation display of the decorative symbol performed in a predetermined relationship with the first special variation display is called a first ornament variation display. The variation display of the second special symbol, that is, the variation display of the decorative symbol performed in a predetermined relationship with the second special variation display is called a second ornament variation display.

  The predetermined relationship between the special symbol variation display and the decorative symbol variation display includes, for example, the relationship in which the decorative symbol variation display is started when the special symbol variation display is started, and the special symbol variation display. This includes a relationship in which the decorative symbol variation display is terminated and the display result is displayed when the variation display is completed and the display result is displayed.

  The decoration variation display device 90 displays a part or all of a decoration variation area composed of a plurality of display areas (hereinafter referred to as a variation area) arranged in a matrix of a plurality of rows and columns and displays the variation area. The decorative design is displayed in a variable manner using In the decoration variation display device 90, the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are executed in parallel on one screen within the range of the decoration variation area in which the variation areas are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. It is possible. Each variation area is an area in which a decorative pattern is displayed in a variable manner and a display result is derived and displayed.

  Specifically, in the decoration variation display device 90, the decoration variation area that can be displayed by arranging the variation areas in a plurality of rows and columns is divided into a variation area of the first part and a variation area of the second part. Fluctuation display is possible. The variation area of the first part is a variation area that forms a part or all of the decoration variation area of the decoration variation display device 90, and is one of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. This is a display area. The variation area of the second part is a variation area that forms part or all of the decoration variation area of the decoration variation display device 90, and is the first of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. This is a region where the variation display of the portion where the variation display is not performed is performed. For example, when the first ornament variation display and the second ornament variation display are performed in parallel, the ornament variation display device 90 performs the first ornament variation display and the second ornament variation display according to the start order of the variation display. Thus, the variable region of the first part and the variable region of the second part are appropriately allocated and executed.

  More specifically, in the decoration variation display device 90, the variation display in the first variation region and the second variation region is displayed in a display mode. When neither the first decoration fluctuation display nor the second decoration fluctuation display is performed, only the fluctuation area of the first part is displayed. When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed in parallel, for example, when one decoration variation display started first is performed, the variation of the first part already displayed is performed. When the decoration variation display is executed in the area and the decoration variation display started later is performed, the display of the second variation area is displayed, and the other decoration variation display is displayed in the displayed second variation area. Is executed. On the other hand, when the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are not performed in parallel, any decoration variation display is executed using only the variation area of the first part.

  Thus, the first decorative variation display is a decorative symbol variation display corresponding to the first special symbol variation display, and is performed in the first variation region or the second variation region in the decoration variation display device 90. It is. The second decorative variation display is a decorative symbol variation display corresponding to the second special symbol variation display, and is performed in the first variation region or the second variation region in the decoration variation display device 90. When the first variation display and the second variation display are performed in parallel, and the first decoration variation display is performed in the first variation region first, the second variation variation display is performed in the second variation region. On the other hand, when the second decoration variation display is performed first in the first variation region, the display control is performed so that the first decoration variation display is performed in the second variation region.

  The decoration variation area is a row (line) composed of a plurality of variation areas for indicating whether or not the display result of the decoration variation display corresponding to each of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a jackpot display result. A combination effective line (hereinafter referred to as an effective line) configured by a plurality of variable regions is set. In this effective line, when the first big hit is based on the first special fluctuation display or the second big hit is based on the second special fluctuation display, the display result of the corresponding decoration fluctuation display is predetermined. A jackpot display result that is a combination of jackpot symbols (horizontal) is displayed. In this embodiment, a total of nine variable areas can be displayed side by side in a matrix of up to 3 rows × 3 columns as decoration variable areas, and the maximum number of effective lines is 3 in the vertical direction and 3 in the horizontal direction. A total of eight active lines can be set, two in the diagonal direction. For example, the number of effective lines set in the state in which only the first part of the variable area is displayed and the state in which both the first part of the variable area and the second part of the variable area are displayed. Can be changed to be different.

  Some conventional gaming machines are configured to execute the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display as described above separately on two decoration variation display devices. As described above, when the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are executed separately on the two decoration variation display devices, which of the two ornament variation display devices is to be focused on is determined for the player. Difficult to grasp. On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment, since one decoration variation display device 90 is configured to execute both the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the first decoration variation is displayed. The contents of the display and the second decoration variation display can be easily grasped by the gaming machine. Further, in one decoration variation display device 90, the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are executed in such a manner that one variation display is performed. Further, the decoration variation display device 90 is larger than the other first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 and is conspicuous, so that it is easy to attract the player's attention for the variation display. Further, as will be described later, in the decoration variation display device 90, the display of the reserved memory number is performed by the reserved memory number displayed on the first special symbol reserved memory display 10 and the second special symbol reserved memory display 11. Since the maximum 8 stored memory numbers, which are the sum of the displayed stored memory numbers, are displayed, it can be seen as a maximum of 8 gaming machines.

  In this embodiment, the case where the decorative design is a design indicating a number has been shown as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be a symbol on which information is shown. In addition, there are various display patterns for decorative designs, such as those that are updated by scrolling the symbols in a predetermined direction, those that are updated by switching the symbols, and those that are updated while rotating the symbols around the virtual axis. The fluctuation display mode is included. Further, the decoration variation display device 90 is not limited to a liquid crystal display device, and may be one that performs variation display by other display methods such as a display using CRT or plasma display.

  When the variation display result of the first special symbol display 8 is a jackpot display result, the display result of the first decoration variation display displayed corresponding to the display result of the first special variation display on the decoration variation display device 90 is also: By controlling so that the jackpot display result is obtained in the fluctuation region corresponding to any one of the effective lines, it is controlled so that the consistency of both display results is maintained. In addition, when the variation display result of the second special symbol display 9 becomes a jackpot display result, the display result of the second decoration variation display displayed on the decoration variation display device 90 corresponding to the display result of the second special variation display. Also, control is performed so that the consistency between the two display results is maintained by controlling so as to obtain the big hit display result in the fluctuation region corresponding to one of the effective lines.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner by two systems of display units, ie, a first special symbol display 8 and a second special symbol display 9. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there are provided three or more display units of a plurality of systems, and special symbols are displayed on a display of three or more (arbitrary natural numbers) display units. It is good also as a structure which performs the decoration variation display corresponding to each of the above several display parts.

Next, the relationship between the first special symbol, the second special symbol, and the decorative symbol will be specifically described.
When the odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) of the first special symbol predetermined as the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as the display result by the first special symbol indicator 8, the first jackpot symbol becomes the first jackpot. A big hit gaming state occurs. When the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a display result by the first special symbol display 8, any one of the valid settings set for the first ornament variation display is made by the ornament variation display device 90 corresponding to the display result. A jackpot display result in which the decorative design has a hollow pattern in the fluctuation region corresponding to the line is derived and displayed as a display result. In addition, in the decoration variation display device 90, in addition to the first decoration variation display, the first special variation display performed in the first special symbol display 8 is performed in the first special symbol display 8 in a part of the display area other than the decoration variation area. A first special ornament variation display is performed which is indicated by an image of a first special variation ornament symbol composed of a symbol corresponding to each (design of the same number). Here, the first special variation decorative symbol is a type of decorative symbol, and is a symbol used for variable display of the same type of symbol as the first special symbol on the decorative variation display device 90.

  When the odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) of the second special symbol predetermined as the big hit symbol by the second special symbol display unit 9 is derived and displayed as the display result, the second big hit symbol is obtained. Two big hit gaming state occurs. When the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a display result by the second special symbol display 9, any one of the valid settings set for the second ornament variation display is made by the ornament variation display device 90 corresponding to the display result. A jackpot display result in which the decorative design has a hollow pattern in the fluctuation region corresponding to the line is derived and displayed as a display result. In addition, in the decoration variation display device 90, in addition to the second decoration variation display, the second special variation display performed in the second special symbol display 9 is displayed in the second special symbol in a part of the display area other than the decoration variation area. A second special decoration variation display is performed which is indicated by an image of a second special variation decoration pattern composed of symbols corresponding to each of the symbols (same number symbols). Here, the second special variation decorative symbol is a type of decorative symbol, and is a symbol used for variably displaying the same type of symbol as the second special symbol on the decorative variation display device 90.

  When the big special symbol “3” or “7” predetermined as the special big hit symbol is derived and displayed by the first special symbol display 8 as the special big hit display result, the decoration corresponding to the display result is displayed. In the variation display device 90, in the variation region corresponding to any one of the effective lines set for the first ornament variation display, a big hit display in which a symbol “7” predetermined as a special ornament symbol becomes a doublet The result is derived and displayed as a display result. In addition, when the big special symbol “3” or “7” predetermined as the special big hit symbol is derived and displayed by the second special symbol display 9 as the special big hit display result, the display result corresponds to the display result. In the variation display device 90, the symbol “7”, which is predetermined as a special decoration symbol, becomes a flat eye in a variation region corresponding to one of the effective lines set for the second variation variation display. The jackpot display result is derived and displayed as a display result.

  When such a jackpot display result is derived and displayed, both the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 are targeted, and the probability variation state as a special gaming state (in the embodiment shown below) Is sometimes called abbreviated probability variation (for example, probability variation state). The probability variation state refers to a control state in which the probability of occurrence of a big hit is improved as compared with that in a normal gaming state other than the big hit gaming state. In the probability variation state, the probability of jackpot occurrence is improved, so that the display result of the variable display is likely to be the display result of the jackpot symbol from a probabilistic viewpoint, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player. The probability variation state continues until the next big hit occurs.

  Thus, out of the jackpot display results derived and displayed by the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 respectively, the jackpot symbol (3 or 7) in which the probability variation state occurs when the derived display is performed. Is called the probable big hit symbol. On the other hand, out of the jackpot symbols derived and displayed by the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 respectively, the jackpot symbol (1, 5, 9) that does not generate a probability variation state when being derived and displayed. Non-probable big hit symbol or normal jackpot symbol.

  Among the jackpot display results derived and displayed by the decoration variation display device 90, combinations of jackpot symbols that generate a probability variation state when they are derived and displayed (a combination of 7 symbols of 7 symbols in any effective line). It is called a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols, and a symbol (symbol 7) constituting such a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols is called a probability variation jackpot symbol. On the other hand, among the jackpot display results derived and displayed by the decoration variation display device 90, combinations of jackpot symbols that do not generate a probable change state when they are derived and displayed (a combination of doubles of symbols other than 7 in any effective line) Is called a combination of non-probable big hit symbols or a normal big hit symbol combination.

  Further, the display result of the probability variation jackpot symbol display using the special symbol and the display result of the combination of the probability variation jackpot symbol based on the decorative symbol may be collectively referred to as the probability variation jackpot display result. In addition, the display result of the non-probable variation jackpot symbol by the special symbol and the display result of the combination of the non-probability variation jackpot symbol by the decoration symbol may be collectively referred to as the non-probability variation jackpot display result or the normal jackpot display result. In addition, the probability variation jackpot display result and the non-probability variation jackpot display result may be collectively referred to as a jackpot display result. In addition, the display result of the off symbol by the special symbol and the display result of the combination of the off symbol by the decorative symbol may be collectively referred to as the off symbol display result.

  In addition, when either the “0” or the even number symbol which is the off symbol is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8 as the display result, the display result of the first ornament variation display on the ornament variation display device 90 is displayed. , A combination of out-of-order symbols (a combination of symbols that do not have a doublet in any effective line) is derived and displayed. When the second special symbol display 9 displays either “0” or the even symbol as the display result as a display result, the display result of the second decoration variation display on the decoration variation display device 90 is out of place. A combination of symbols (a combination of symbols that do not have a doublet in any effective line) is derived and displayed.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which a probable big hit symbol and a non-probable big hit symbol are distinguished and used as display results for special symbols such as the first special symbol and the second special symbol is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for the special symbol jackpot symbol, the probability variation jackpot symbol and the non-probable variation jackpot symbol may be distinguished from each other and not used. For example, for a special symbol, one of the jackpot symbols is derived and displayed without distinguishing between when it is determined that the probability variation state is determined and when it is determined that the probability variation state is not determined. Depending on whether the display result is a combination of probability variation big hit symbols or a combination of non-probability big hit symbols, it may be determined whether or not the probability variation state is set.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the example in which the kind of symbol used by each of the 1st special symbol display device 8 and the 2nd special symbol display device 9 is the same is demonstrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the types of symbols used in the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 may be different.

  Below the first special symbol display 8 is provided a start winning section 15 having a start winning opening 14 through which a game ball can win. The winning ball that has entered the start winning opening 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the start opening switch 62. The winning of a game ball to the start winning opening 14 is called start winning.

  The start winning portion 15 is provided with a pair of left and right movable pieces 16 that are opened and closed by a solenoid 71. When the movable piece 16 is in the open state, which is advantageous for the player, the start winning portion 15 is a second state where the game ball is likely to win and the movable piece 16 of the start winning portion 15 is disadvantageous for the player. In the closed state, which is a state, the game ball can be won, but the game ball is configured to be less likely to win than in the open state. The movable piece 16 of the start winning portion 15 is opened for a predetermined time when the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 to be described later becomes a winning symbol (winning display result), and at other times Closed.

  Below the start winning opening 14, there is provided a special variable winning device 20 that is opened by a solenoid 72 in a big hit based on the result of the big hit display result being derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8. The special variable winning device 20 includes a large winning opening 21 inside. The solenoid 72 is means for opening and closing an opening / closing door provided on the front surface of the special variable winning device 20. A count switch 63 for detecting a winning ball won from the special winning opening 21 is provided in the special winning opening 21 of the special variable winning apparatus 20. All winning balls won from the big winning opening 21 are detected by the count switch 63.

  When the hitting ball wins the start winning slot 14 when the movable piece 16 is in the closed state in the start winning portion 15, numerical data (for example, a big hit determination random number) is extracted in the first special symbol process described later. The The numerical data thus extracted is stored in a first storage buffer (for example, a RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31) as a storage device so that the extraction order can be specified. The number of numerical data stored in the first reserved storage buffer is notified to the player as the number of reserved memories based on the number of lighting of the LED of the first special symbol storage memory display 10 described above. The numerical data stored in this way is also called first reserved storage data. The first special symbol hold memory display 10 is composed of four LEDs, and is effective start winning (in this embodiment, the number of numerical data stored in the first hold memory buffer is less than 4). Every time there is a hitting ball in the start winning slot 14 of the start winning portion 15 that is in the closed state, the number of LED lighting is increased by 1, and the variable display of the first special symbol display 8 is started. Each time, the number of lighted LEDs is decreased by one. Every time there is such an effective start winning, the condition for executing the variable display of the first special symbol display 8 is established.

  On the other hand, when the hitting ball wins the start winning opening 14 when the movable piece 16 is in the open state in the start winning portion 15, numerical data (for example, a big hit determination random number or the like) is obtained in the second special symbol process described later. Extracted. The numerical data extracted in this way is stored in a second reserved storage buffer (for example, a storage area provided in the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31) as the reserved storage means so that the extraction order can be specified. Is done. The number of numerical data stored in the second reserved storage buffer is notified to the player by the number of lighting of the LEDs of the second special symbol storage memory display 11 described above. The numerical data stored in this way is also called second reserved storage data. The second special symbol hold storage indicator 11 is composed of four LEDs, and is effective start winning (in this embodiment, the number of numerical data stored in the second hold storage buffer is less than 4). Every time there is a hitting ball in the start winning slot 14 of the start winning portion 15 which is in the open state, the number of lighting of the LED is increased by 1 and the variable display of the second special symbol display 9 is started. Each time, the number of lighted LEDs is decreased by one. Every time there is such an effective start winning, the execution condition of the variable display of the second special symbol display 9 is established.

  The numerical data (random number) stored in the first reserved storage buffer starts the variable display of the first special symbol display 8 when the variable display start condition of the first special symbol display 8 is satisfied. This is data indicating that the execution condition as the starting condition is established. The numerical data stored in the second reserved storage buffer is used as a start condition for starting the variable display of the second special symbol display 9 when the variable display start condition of the second special symbol display 9 is satisfied. This data indicates that the execution condition is satisfied.

  In this embodiment, in each of the first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer, the start condition (for example, the jackpot gaming state and the previous one) of the extracted numerical data (for example, the jackpot determination random number) is still present. Up to four pieces of numerical data that are not established (end of variation display) are stored as a predetermined upper limit number. The upper limit number of numerical data that can be stored in the first hold storage buffer and the second hold storage buffer is not limited to the above, and for example, the upper limit number may be 20 (arbitrary integer). Further, the upper limit value is changed (for example, changed from 4 to 20) based on the fact that a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, the display result is changed to the big hit gaming state based on the special display result). It may be configured.

  In this embodiment, there is one start winning section 15 related to the establishment of the start condition, and this start winning section 15 is a starting condition for two variable display sections, a first special symbol display 8 and a second special symbol display 9. An example related to the establishment of. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and includes a first start winning portion related to the establishment of the start condition of the first special symbol display 8 and a second start winning portion related to the start condition of the second special symbol display 9. It may be adopted.

  In this embodiment, the start winning section 15 opens the start winning section 15 to determine whether the start winning is given to the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9. An example is shown in which the first special symbol display 8 is set to start winning when in the state, and the second special symbol display 9 is set to start winning when the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state. Not limited to this, a predetermined order (for example, the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 are alternately arranged) for the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9. The start prize distribution may be performed at the start prize distribution target).

  On the lower left side of the decoration variation display device 90, there is provided a normal symbol display 12 made up of a pair of LEDs marked with “O” and “X”. The normal symbol display 12 is capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”), each of which can be identified, called a normal symbol.

  Either the game ball passes through the first gate 28 and is detected by the first gate switch 61, or the game ball passes through the second gate 29 and is detected by the second gate switch 66. Then, a random number for determination per normal symbol is extracted and stored in a normal symbol buffer which is a storage area provided in the RAM 55 mounted on the main board 31. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol that can be stored in the normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 is four. If the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer has not reached the upper limit, that is, the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer has reached four. Otherwise, a random number for normal symbol determination is extracted. If the normal symbol display 12 can start the variable display in which the normal symbol display state changes ("○" and "x" are alternately lit), the normal symbol display 12 displays the normal symbol variable display. Is started. If the normal symbol display 12 is not in a state in which the variable display whose display state changes can be started, the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol is increased by 1 by storing the random number for determination per ordinary symbol in the normal symbol buffer. Further, below the normal symbol display 12, a normal symbol holding storage indicator 18 having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol is provided. ing. This normal symbol storage memory display 18 is lit whenever a condition that either a game ball is detected by the first gate switch 61 or a game ball is detected by the second gate switch 66 is satisfied. Add one more LED. Each time the normal symbol display unit 12 starts the variable display of the normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”), the number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by one.

  In this embodiment, in the normal symbol display 12, the left and right lamps with “O” and “X” (the symbols can be visually recognized when lit) are alternately lit, so that the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is performed. The variable display continues for a predetermined variable display time (for example, 29.2 seconds). Then, if the upper lamp with “◯” is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. Whether or not to win is determined by the value of the numerical data (random number for determination per normal symbol) extracted when the game ball is detected by the first gate switch 61 or the second gate switch 66 as a predetermined normal symbol determination It is determined by whether or not it matches the value. When the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is a win, the start winning portion 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time, so that the game ball can easily win the start winning opening 14. That is, the state of the start winning portion 15 changes from a disadvantageous state to a player's advantageous state when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol.

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

  On the left and right periphery of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there are provided decorative lamps 25 that are blinked during the game. In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, an out port 26 is provided for taking in game balls that have not won. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A plurality of game effect lamps 40 are provided on the left outer periphery and the right outer periphery of the game area 7 in the front frame.

A ball break lamp (not shown in FIG. 1 and shown in FIG. 2 and the like) is provided.

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

  For example, in the decorative variation display device 90, an effective line that is a hit is determined in advance when the symbol is stopped, and symbols predetermined in some display areas of the variable region corresponding to the effective line are stopped. In the state where the variable display corresponding to the active line that has not stopped yet is displayed (for example, the same design is stopped in the left and right display areas of the left, middle, and right display areas) In the displayed state, the display area in the middle is still in the variable display state), and all or some of the symbols of the variable area corresponding to the active line are synchronized while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol (For example, the left, middle, and right display areas are all displayed in a variable display, and the variable display is always performed with the same symbols all together) That the reach display mode or reach.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decoration design etc.)) or a display mode (for example, color etc.) of the background of the decoration variation display device 90 is displayed. ) May change. This change of character display and background display mode is called reach effect display.

  In addition, for each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display performed in the decoration variation display device 90, when it is determined to be a big hit, a notice effect (a big hit notice) is given to notify that a big hit will occur.

The character ROM is for storing image data to be displayed on the decoration variation display device 90 in advance.

  Each VDP has a two-dimensional address space independent of the CPU 86, and VRAM is mapped there. The VDP generates image data to be displayed on the decoration variation display device 90 according to the image data of the character ROM, and expands the image data in the VRAM. VRAM is a frame buffer memory for expanding image data generated by VDP. The image data developed in the VRAM is output to the decoration variation display device 90.

  In the effect control command, the first effect control command for designating the first decoration variation display and its related effects on the decoration variation display device 90, and the second decoration change display and its related effects on the decoration variation display device 90 are designated. The display control microcomputer 800 controls the display of the decoration variation display according to the received command. When the CPU 86 operates in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 84 and receives an effect control command from the main board 31, the CPU 86 performs display control of the decoration variation display device 90 in accordance with the received effect control command.

  The display control microcomputer 800 outputs a drive signal for the speaker 27 to the sound output board 70 to control the sound output of the speaker 27 and outputs a drive signal for the various light emitting means described above to the lamp driver board 35. The light emission control of the lamp / LED provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed. The display control microcomputer 800 mounted on the display control board 80 outputs sound and emits light in response to the effect display on the decoration variation display device 90 based on the effect control command transmitted from the main board 31. Also, control is performed for the speaker 27 and the above-described light emitting means.

  Next, a random counter for generating a random number used for control in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining various random counters used by the game control microcomputer 53 for game control. FIG. 3 shows random counters R1 to R8 as an example of the random counter.

  R1 is for generating a random number used to randomly determine in advance whether or not to generate a jackpot gaming state for each variable display of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 This is a big hit determination random counter, which is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “400”, and count up again from “0”. This R1 is added and updated by 1 every 2 msec.

  When a valid start winning is detected by the start port switch 62, R1 is extracted accordingly and stored in the RAM 55 as first reserved storage data or second reserved storage data. Then, for each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9, when the special symbol variation display is started, the extracted value stored in the RAM 55 as such is determined in advance. It is determined whether or not they match. In this determination, if they match, it is determined that the big hit is generated by using the display result of the variable display as the big hit display result, and the aforementioned big hit gaming state is controlled. If they do not match, it is determined that the display result of the variable display is out of play, and the gaming state does not change. In a normal probability state other than the probability variation state, the jackpot determination value is set to one numerical value, for example. In the probability variation state, the big hit judgment value is set to a plurality of numerical values (in this case, the big hit judgment value is set so that the numerical order is not adjacent to the big hit judgment value so as not to be biased). As a result, the probability of a big hit is improved as compared with the case of the non-probable change state.

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

  R3 determines which kind of probability variation big winning symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9 when it is decided to control to the probability variation state by the probability variation determination using R2. It is a random counter for generating a random number used to determine at random. R3 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “4”, and then count up from “0” again, one each for every 2 msec and interrupt processing remaining time. Added and updated. The value of R3 is allocated and associated with each of the probability variation big hit symbols of the special symbol in the probability variation big hit symbol determination data table stored in the ROM 54. R3 is extracted at a predetermined timing when the variation display of the special symbol is started, and is determined as a jackpot symbol from which the probability variation jackpot symbol corresponding to the extracted value of R3 is derived and displayed as a display result. Here, an example is shown in which the value of R3 is extracted and read out at the start of the variable display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the value of R3 may be extracted at the time of starting winning detection and read at the start of the variable display like the value of R1. Also, values of R4 to R7, which will be described later, may be extracted at the time of starting winning detection and read at the start of variable display.

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

  When it is determined that the control is not controlled to the probability variation state by the probability variation determination using R2, R4 indicates which type of symbol out of the normal jackpot symbol as the non-probability variation jackpot symbol is the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol. It is a random counter for generating a random number used to randomly determine whether to display on the symbol display 9. R4 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to “4” which is the upper limit thereof, and then count up again from “0”, one each at every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Added and updated. The value of R4 is allocated and associated with each of the special big hit symbols of the special symbols in the normal big hit symbol determination data table stored in the ROM 54. R4 is extracted at a predetermined timing when the special symbol variation display is started, and the normal jackpot symbol corresponding to the extracted value of R4 is determined as a jackpot symbol derived and displayed as a display result.

  When R5 is determined to be out of jackpot determination using R1 (no big hit is generated), any type of outlier symbol is designated as the first special symbol indicator 8 or the second special symbol indicator. 9 is a random counter for generating a random number used to determine at random whether or not to be displayed in 9. R5 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to the upper limit “4”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. The value of R5 is allocated and associated with each of the special symbols. R5 is extracted at a predetermined timing when the special symbol variation display is started, and the special symbol corresponding to the extracted value of R5 is determined as the off symbol.

  R6 is a numerical data updating means (randomly used for generating random numbers used to randomly determine a variation pattern which is a variation display pattern performed in the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9). Counter). R6 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “99”, and count up again from “0”, and once every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Added and updated. Based on the value of the counter extracted from R6 at a predetermined timing such as at the start of special symbol variation, based on the relationship between the predetermined count value and the variation pattern, from among a plurality of predetermined variation patterns The variation pattern used for variation display is selected and determined. Each variation pattern has a predetermined variation display time (the time from the start of variation display until the display result is derived and displayed, also referred to as variation time). By selecting and determining the variation pattern, The variable display time is selected and determined.

  R7 corresponds to each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display performed by the decoration variation display device 90 when it is determined to be out of the big hit determination, and is described above during the variation display. To generate a random number used to randomly determine whether to form a reach display mode (hereinafter referred to as “reach off”) or not to form a reach display mode (hereinafter referred to as “non-reach off”) This is a random counter for reach determination. R7 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “39”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. When the variable display is performed, the value of R7 is extracted, and it is determined whether or not the extracted value of R7 matches a predetermined reach determination value. If these values match, it is determined that the reach is out of control, and the reach state is controlled during the variable display in which the display result is out of control. On the other hand, when these values do not coincide with each other, it is determined that the non-reach is out of control, and control is performed not to reach the reach state during the variable display in which the display result is out of place.

  R8 is a random counter for generating a random number used to randomly determine whether or not to generate a hit for the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display 12. R8 is configured to count up from an initial value such as “0”, count up to its upper limit “11”, and then count up again from the initial value such as “0”, and every 2 msec. One is added and updated. When a valid start passage is detected by the first gate switch 61 or the second gate switch 66, the R8 random number is extracted and stored in the RAM 55 as passage storage data. Then, at the stage before starting the normal symbol variation display, it is determined whether or not the extracted value matches a predetermined hit determination value. If they match, the normal symbol hit can be generated. The above-described control is performed, and if they do not match, it is determined to be out of control and the above-described control is not performed.

  Next, the fluctuation area displayed on the decoration fluctuation display device 90 and the effective line set for the fluctuation area will be described. FIG. 4 is a display screen diagram of the decoration variation display device 90 for explaining the variation region displayed on the decoration variation display device 90 and the effective lines set for the variation region.

  As described above, the decoration variation display device 90 displays nine variation areas 101 to 109 arranged in a maximum of 3 rows × 3 columns. The number of effective lines set when the nine variable areas 101 to 109 are displayed is a total of eight lines L1 to L8.

  The first effective line L1 is composed of three variable regions 101 to 103 arranged in the horizontal direction at the center in the vertical direction. The second effective line L2 includes three variable regions 104 to 106 that are arranged in the horizontal direction at the upper end in the vertical direction. The third effective line L3 is configured by three variable regions 107 to 109 arranged in the horizontal direction at the lower end in the vertical direction. The fourth effective line L4 includes three variable regions 104, 101, and 107 that are arranged in the vertical direction at the left end in the left-right direction.

The eighth effective line L8 is composed of three variable regions 106, 102, 107 arranged in an oblique direction.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of various random counters used by the display control microcomputer 800 for display control. FIG. 5 shows, as an example of a random counter, random counters RC <b> 1 to RC <b> 9 for determining a stop symbol for decorative symbols, RC <b> 10 for selecting an effective line, and RC <b> 11 for determining an effect.

  Referring to FIG. 5, each of RC1 to RC9 is used for determining a stop symbol of a decorative symbol. RC1 is used to determine the stop symbol of the first fluctuation region 101. RC2 is used to determine a stop symbol of the second fluctuation region 102. RC3 is used to determine a stop symbol of the third fluctuation region 103. RC4 is used to determine the stop symbol of the fourth variable region 104. RC5 is used to determine a stop symbol of the fifth fluctuation region 105. RC6 is used to determine the stop symbol of the sixth variable region 106. RC7 is used to determine the stop symbol of the first fluctuation region 107. RC8 determines the stop symbol of the eighth fluctuation region 108. RC9 is used to determine the stop symbol of the ninth fluctuation region 109.

  RC1 every 33 msec, RC2 every RC1 carry, RC3 every RC2 carry, RC4 every RC3 carry, RC5 every RC4 carry, RC6 every RC5 carry, RC7 every RC6 carry RC8 is incremented and updated one by one for each carry of RC7 and RC9 for each carry of RC8. These are updated from 0, updated to 9 which is the upper limit thereof, and then updated from 0 again.

  For each of RC1 to RC9, the numerical data of the random counter is allocated and associated with each of the decorative symbols “0” to “9”. Each of RC1 to RC9 is extracted at a predetermined timing, and a decorative design corresponding to each of the extracted RC1 to RC9 is determined as a display result.

  In addition, the RC 10 selects and determines an effective line (hereinafter referred to as a hit line) whose decorative symbol is a combination of jackpot symbols, or an effective line (hereinafter referred to as a missed reach line) where the decorative symbols are a combination of outlier reach symbols. It is a random counter used for this purpose. RC 10 is incremented and updated by 1 every 33 msec, updated from 0 and updated to 31 which is the upper limit, and then updated from 0 again.

  When the received command designates an out-of-reach (reach out-of-reach) state that does not become reach, the first region variation display and the second portion variation display for the first decoration variation display or the second decoration variation display specified by the received command are performed. In the allocated variable region of the variable region, the decorative symbol detachment stop symbol is determined based on each extracted value of the random counter corresponding to the allocated variable region of RC1 to RC9. In this determination, if a combination of symbols that will be a big hit or a combination of symbols that will reach will occur, the extracted values of some random counters will be used so that such symbol combinations do not occur. Correction is made so as to obtain a combination of out-of-order symbols that is not forcibly reached by adding a predetermined number or the like.

  In addition, when it is specified that the reach is shifted by the received command, the first part of the variable area and the second part of the variable area are designated by the received command. And the reach line is selected and determined based on the extracted value of RC10, and the stop symbols of the variable areas at both ends of the variable area corresponding to the determined reach line are the reach symbols. Are determined based on the extracted values of the random counters (RC1 to RC9) corresponding to any one of the variable regions at both ends thereof. At the same time, the stop symbol of the variable region other than the reach symbol is determined based on the extracted value of the corresponding random counter among RC1 to RC9.

  In such a determination, if a combination of symbols that will be a big hit is generated due to a stop symbol in a variable region other than the variable region in which the reach symbol is displayed, a part of the symbol combination may not be generated. For example, a predetermined number is added to the extracted value of the random counter to forcibly correct the pattern so as to be out of place.

  In addition, when it is designated that the received command is a big hit, with respect to the first decoration variation display or the second decoration variation display designated by the received command, the variation area of the first part and the variation area of the second part In the allocated fluctuation area, the big hit line is selected and determined based on the extracted value of RC10, and the stop symbols of the fluctuation area corresponding to the decided big hit line are determined to constitute a combination of the big hit symbols. Is done. For example, when the probability variation jackpot is reached, it is determined that the stop symbols in the fluctuation region corresponding to the jackpot line constitute a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols. Further, when a big hit is made, it is determined so as to match based on the extracted values of random counters (RC1 to RC9) corresponding to any one of the fluctuation areas corresponding to the big hit line. However, when the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter becomes a probabilistic big hit symbol, the display result is forced to be a combination of the normal big hit symbol by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter. Will be corrected. And the stop symbol of the fluctuation region other than the fluctuation region corresponding to the big hit line is determined based on the extracted value of the corresponding random counter among RC1 to RC9.

  The RC 11 is a random counter used for determining selection items related to various effects such as a notice effect (a big hit notice) performed in the decoration variation display device 90. RC11 is added and updated by 1 every 33 msec, updated from 0 and updated to 39, which is the upper limit, and then updated from 0 again. For example, when a decision is made as to whether or not to execute the notice effect, the value of RC11 is extracted and stored in the data table (ROM 84) indicating the relationship between the extracted value and the presence or absence of the notice effect. ) Is used to select whether or not to execute the notice effect based on the extracted value of RC11.

  FIG. 6 shows a variation pattern data table which is a variation pattern selection data table storing data used for selecting and determining variation patterns performed in each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9. Is a diagram showing in a display format.

  A variation display example of a decoration symbol in the decoration variation display device 90 will be described. FIG. 7 is a display screen diagram showing an example of a decorative pattern variation display in the ornament variation display device 90. In FIG. 7, the downward arrow indicates that the decorative symbol is being displayed in a variable manner.

  In the decoration variation display device 90, the first special decoration variation display by the first special variation decoration symbol corresponding to the first special variation display by the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8 as the symbol variation area. Corresponding to the second special variation display by the second special symbol on the second special symbol display area 9 and the second special variation display by the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 9. (2) A special decoration variation area 112 and a decoration variation area 113 for displaying a decoration pattern variation are displayed. In the decoration variation display device 90, the decoration variation area 113 is displayed at the center of the display screen, the first special decoration variation area 111 is displayed at the lower left corner of the display screen, and the second special decoration variation area 112 is displayed on the display screen. Is displayed at the lower right corner of.

  In the first special ornament variation area 111, when the first special variation display is performed on the first special symbol display 8, an image for performing the variation display operation of the first special variation ornament symbol corresponding to the variation display operation is displayed. Is displayed. In the second special ornament variation area 112, when the second special variation display is performed on the second special symbol display 9, an image for performing the variation display operation of the second special variation ornament symbol corresponding to the variation display operation is displayed. Is displayed. In the decoration variation area 113, the first decoration variation display is performed corresponding to the variation display performed on the first special symbol display 8, and the first variation variation display performed on the second special symbol display 8 is performed. 2 decoration change display is performed.

  Regarding the first special decoration variation display and the second special decoration variation display performed in the first special decoration variation area 111 and the second special decoration variation area 112, the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 This is the same as the first special variation display and the second special variation display already described as the variation display to be performed. Therefore, here, the image displayed in the decoration variation area 113 will be mainly described.

  In the state where there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the initial state of the decoration variable region 113 is As a state image, a predetermined effective line L1 as shown in (a) is selected, and three variable areas 101, 102, and 103 constituting the effective line are displayed. Such a variation region of the effective line displayed in the initial state is referred to as an initial setting variation display line. When the variable display execution condition is established in either the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9 and the variable display is performed first, first, as shown in FIG. In addition, the variable display is started in the three variable regions 101, 102, and 103 corresponding to one effective line L1 that is a predetermined initial setting variable display line. In the decoration variation region 113, the variation region corresponding to one effective line selected in this way is used as the variation region of the first part as described above. As described above, in the relationship between the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the variation display started first is referred to as a leading variation display in the following description.

  After that, as shown in (b), the first special symbol display unit 8 and the first special symbol display 8 are displayed in the state where the decorative symbol has not stopped yet in any variation region in the first variation region where the leading variation display is performed. When the execution condition of the variable display is established on the other of the two special symbol indicators 9 and the next decoration variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variation display, nine decoration regions are displayed as the decoration variation region 113. Of these, the remaining six variable regions 104 to 109 (six variable regions corresponding to the effective lines L2 and L3) not selected are selected, and a display for making these variable regions 104 to 109 appear is performed. The variation display is started in these variation areas. The variable region selected in this way is added and used as the variable region of the second part as described above. In this way, the fluctuation display that is started next to the leading fluctuation display and performed in parallel with the leading fluctuation display is referred to as a trailing fluctuation display in the following description. This succeeding variation display is called a leading variation display in relation to the subsequent succeeding variation display when the corresponding preceding variation display is finished and the next succeeding variation display is started. .

  In addition, as shown in (c), in the state where the decorative symbols have already stopped in some of the variable regions of the first part of the variable region of the first variable display, the first special symbol indicator 8 and the second special symbol display 9 when the execution condition of the variable display is established and the next decorative variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variable display, Of the nine variable areas, the remaining six variable areas 104 to 109 (six variable areas corresponding to the effective lines L2 and L3) that have not been subjected to the preceding variable display are selected, and these variable areas 104 to 109 appear. Display is performed, and the variable display is started in the variable region. The variation region selected in this way is used as the variation region of the second part as described above.

  In such a variation area of the second part, the first variation variation display and the second variation variation display are performed in the decoration variation area 113 in a state where the preceding variation display has already been performed in the first variation area. It is used as an execution area for variable display that starts later. When the variation display in the variation region of the second part is started, in the decoration variation region 113, eight effective lines as shown in (b) or (c) from one effective line as shown in (a). By increasing the number of effective lines, the number of effective lines changes. As described above, when the variation display in the second variation region is performed in addition to the first variation region, the effective line is changed by changing the number of effective lines.

  In a state in which there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the first reserved memory data and When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed based on the generation of the second reserved storage data, the decoration variation area 113 is first of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. Display control is performed in which the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started is assigned to the fluctuation area of the first part and executed, and the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started later is assigned to the fluctuation area of the second part and executed.

  Then, when there is no first hold storage data and second hold storage data for which the change display is started following each of the change displays, a change display based on the generation of new hold storage data is subsequently executed. There is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data as described above, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is in a state where variable display is performed. Similarly, of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the variation display in which the variation display is started first is allocated to the variation area of the first part and executed, and then the variation display is started. Display control is performed to allocate and execute the variable display to the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, when there are first reserved storage data and second reserved storage data for which variable display is started following each of these variable displays, the first decoration variable display and the second display based on the generation of the reserved storage data. When the decoration variation display is executed, a variation display in which the variation display is started first as the decoration variation area 113 (for example, the previous first decoration variation display is preceded by the previous second ornament variation display). When finished, the first decoration change display is assigned to the first part change area and executed, and the change display is started later (for example, the previous first decoration change display is the previous second decoration change). When the display ends before the change display, display control is performed in which the second decoration change display) is assigned to the change area of the second part and executed. Then, in the decoration variation area 113, such allocation of the first variation area and the second variation area is repeatedly performed, so that each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is the first. This is performed sequentially in parallel in each of the variable region of the part and the variable region of the second part.

  Further, when there is a plurality of reserved storage data in only one of the first reserved storage data and the second reserved storage data, and the decorative variation display is sequentially performed based on the reserved storage data, the decorative variation region 113 is displayed. Then, display control is performed in which the decoration variation display of the decoration pattern 113 is allocated only to the first part variation area as shown in (a) and the decoration variation display is sequentially executed. In that case, the variation display using the variation region of the second part is not performed.

  Further, after the subsequent fluctuation display is performed subsequent to the preceding fluctuation display, the fluctuation display time set for each fluctuation display elapses, and as shown in (d), When all of the decorative symbols stop in each of the second part of the variable area, and there is neither the first reserved memory data nor the second reserved memory data, the first part of the variable area and the second part of the variable After the area is erased, only the first variation area corresponding to the aforementioned initial setting fluctuation display line is displayed as an initial state.

  When the variation display execution condition is satisfied next time, the decoration variation display is newly performed in the first variation region in the decoration variation area 113, and the variation display execution condition is displayed until the decoration variation display ends. In the decoration variation display device 90, the first special symbol display unit 8 and the second special symbol display unit 9 are newly displayed in the variation region of the second part. The decoration variation display corresponding to each of these is performed.

  Further, as shown in (a) to (d), in the decoration variation display device 90, the first reserved memory number corresponding to the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 corresponding to the second special symbol display 9. A display indicating the total number of reserved memories, which is the total number of reserved memories (maximum of eight) added to the two reserved memory numbers, is performed on the reserved memory number display unit 110. Specifically, in the reserved memory number display unit 110, the total reserved memory number is indicated by the number of circles. Thereby, in the decoration variation display device 90, it becomes possible for the player to grasp the number of reserved memories. In the decoration variation display device 90, display is performed to indicate the total number of reserved memories of the first reserved memory number corresponding to the first special symbol display 8 and the second reserved memory number corresponding to the second special symbol indicator 9. In addition, the decoration variation display device 90 is larger than the other first special symbol hold memory display 10 and the second special symbol hold memory display 11 and is conspicuous, so that it is easy to attract the player's attention with respect to the display of the reserved memory number. Further, since the display showing the maximum total number of 8 stored storages is performed on the decoration variation display device 90, it can be seen as a gaming machine having a maximum 8 stored storage numbers.

  Next, a description will be given of a selection pattern of the first part of the fluctuation area where the preceding fluctuation display is performed and the second part of the fluctuation area where the subsequent fluctuation display is performed. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing selection patterns for the first and second variable regions.

  In FIG. 8, (a) to (f) show the selection patterns of the first and second variable regions. In the selection pattern of (a), the fluctuation areas 101 to 103 corresponding to the first effective line L1 are selected as the first fluctuation area, and the remaining fluctuation areas 104 to 109 are selected as the second fluctuation area. The In the selection pattern of (b), the fluctuation areas 104 to 106 corresponding to the second effective line L2 are selected as the fluctuation areas of the first part, and the remaining fluctuation areas 101 to 103 and 106 to 109 are fluctuations of the second part. Selected as a region.

  In the selection pattern of (c), the fluctuation areas 107 to 109 corresponding to the third effective line L3 are selected as the first fluctuation area, and the remaining fluctuation areas 101 to 106 are selected as the second fluctuation area. The In the selection pattern of (d), the fluctuation areas 104, 101, 107 corresponding to the fourth effective line L4 are selected as the fluctuation areas of the first part, and the remaining fluctuation areas 102, 103, 105, 106, 108, 109 are selected. Is selected as the variable region of the second part.

  In the selection pattern of (e), the fluctuation areas 105, 102, and 108 corresponding to the fifth effective line L5 are selected as the fluctuation areas of the first part, and the remaining fluctuation areas 101, 103, 104, 106, 107, and 109 are selected. Is selected as the variable region of the second part. In the selection pattern of (f), the fluctuation areas 106, 103, 109 corresponding to the sixth effective line L6 are selected as the first fluctuation area, and the remaining fluctuation areas 101, 102, 104, 105, 107, 108 are selected. Is selected as the variable region of the second part.

  For the first part variation display selected in this way, the effective line corresponding to the selected first variation region is selected as the big hit line. For example, when the change areas 101 to 103 corresponding to the first effective line L1 are selected as the first change area, the first effective line L1 is selected as the big hit line. On the other hand, for the variation display of the second part selected in this way, the seven variation lines including the effective line corresponding to the selected variation area of the second part are all effective lines related to the variation area of the second part. Active lines are selected as jackpot lines. For example, when the fluctuation region 104 to 109 is selected as the second region fluctuation region, the first effective line L1 includes the second effective line L2 and the third effective line L3 corresponding to the fluctuation region 104 to 109. All active lines except are selected as jackpot lines. Here, the effective line related to the variation region of the second part is an effective line in which at least one variation region included in the variation region of the second part constitutes at least a part of a plurality of variation regions corresponding to the effective line. A line.

  As described above, there are a plurality of selection patterns for the first and second variable regions, and when the variable display is performed in the first and second variable regions. The combination is selected and determined from these selection patterns. Basically, in the initial state of the decoration change area 113 in the decoration change display device 90, the change areas 101, 102, and 103 are selected as the change areas of the first part as shown in FIG. However, when the variable display is performed in parallel in the variable region of the first part and the variable region of the second part and the variable display in the variable region of the first part is finished, the variable region is still changed in the variable region of the first part. When there is pending storage data to be displayed, the next variable display to be executed is based on the stop state of the decorative symbols in the second variable area where the variable display has not been completed. The variation area corresponding to the active line that has the least influence on the variation display result is selected and executed in the variation area.

  For example, the influence on the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation area of the second part is that the fluctuation area for which the display result is not yet derived and displayed is included in the fluctuation area of the first part, It is to make the variable display result unclear. More specifically, for example, a part or all of the fluctuation region in which the reach state occurs is included in the first part of the fluctuation region. Inclusion in the change area of the part has a great influence on the change display result in the change area of the second part, and is basically avoided. However, when such avoidance is not possible, the display result (stop symbol) of the variable region to be avoided is the display result (stop symbol) determined as the variable display result (stop symbol) in the variable region of the second part. To match the design).

  Next, a display example of a notice effect will be described. FIG. 9 is a display screen diagram illustrating a display example of a notice effect produced by the decoration variation display device 90. In FIG. 9, display examples of the notice effect are shown as time elapses in (a) to (c). Specifically, FIG. 9 shows an example in which a notice effect corresponding to a big hit notice is performed for the first decoration change display or the second decoration change display performed in the change area of the first part.

As shown in (a), after the preceding variation display of the decorative pattern is started in the first variation region, for example, a reach state occurs in the first effective line L1 corresponding to the first variation region. Yes. Then, as shown in (b), the trailing variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the variation region of the second part. As shown in (c), in the state where the preceding variation display is performed in the first region of the variation region, when the subsequent variation display is performed in the second region of the variation region, Display control is performed so that the advance variation display becomes a more advantageous state for the player. For example, in (c), the leading line display result displayed in the variation area of the first part increases the reach line related to the derivation display of the jackpot display result in the decoration variation area 113, etc. Display control is performed so that the change display becomes a more advantageous state for the player. Specifically, in the example of (c), a decoration that forms a reach state in the change areas 104 and 109 in the change area of the second part. Display control for stopping the symbol and causing the reach state in the seventh effective line L7 is performed (for example, in this example, the display result in the variable area 102 during the variable display is an effective line in which the reach line becomes a reach line) L7 is related to the derivation display of the jackpot display result). As a result, one reach line related to the derivation display of the jackpot display result is added to the display result of the leading variation display performed in the variation region of the first part, and two effective lines from the one effective line L1 are added. Changes to lines L1 and L7. As described above, when the following variation display is performed as the notice effect, display control is performed so that the leading variation display is in a more advantageous state for the player, thereby improving the interest of the player. it can.

  When such a notice effect is performed, the notice effect display may be felt unnatural depending on the timing of starting the notice effect. For example, if an effect of increasing the reach line immediately after the leading variation display is started, a reach line is formed in relation to the trailing variation display in a situation where no decorative symbols in the leading variation display have yet stopped. However, it is not clear whether or not it is a notice effect for the preceding fluctuation display. Therefore, in order to prevent the display of the notice effect from being felt unnatural, as a timing for starting the execution of the notice effect, a standard as a reference for the timing when the notice effect is executed with respect to the variation pattern that becomes the preceding change display Control is performed so that a point is determined in advance and execution of the notice effect is started at a timing after the reference point. For example, the reference point is set to a timing at which it is clear whether or not the reach state occurs in the preceding variation display as shown in (b).

  Next, the timing at which the notice effect is executed will be described. FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing the timing for starting the notice effect. In FIG. 10, (a) shows the execution start timing of the notice effect when the execution of the subsequent variation display is started at a timing before the reference point set in the variation pattern of the preceding variation display. Such a reference point is called a notice effect execution reference point. In FIG. 10, (b) shows the execution start timing of the notice effect when the execution of the following change display is started at the timing after the notice effect execution reference point set in the change pattern of the preceding change display. Indicated.

  Referring to (a), when the execution of the subsequent fluctuation display is started at a timing before the notice effect execution reference point set in the fluctuation pattern of the preceding fluctuation display, the subsequent fluctuation display is started. Then, the control is performed until the notice effect execution reference point is reached, and when the notice effect execution reference point is reached, execution of the notice effect is started. And the decrease display of the number of reservation memory in the storage number display part 110 is performed simultaneously with the timing which starts execution of a notice effect.

  Next, referring to (b), when the execution of the subsequent fluctuation display is started at a timing after the notice effect execution reference point set in the fluctuation pattern of the preceding fluctuation display, the subsequent fluctuation display is started. At the same time, control for starting execution of the notice effect is performed. And the decrease display of the number of reservation memory in the storage number display part 110 is performed simultaneously with the timing which starts execution of a notice effect.

  By controlling the execution start timing of such a notice effect, it is possible to prevent the display of the notice effect as described above from being felt unnatural.

  Next, the symbol hold control performed in the decorative symbol variation display in the ornament variation display device 90 will be described. In this pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, when the execution of the preceding variation display performed in the first variation region is started, the display of the variation display performed in the previous first and second variation regions is started. As a result, display data is stored and held (held) for a part of the fluctuation area in which the stop symbol is displayed, and the display data is displayed as a subsequent fluctuation display executed after the preceding fluctuation display. Control to use. Such control is called symbol hold control, and the variation area stored and held in this way is called the hold area.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a fluctuation region in order to explain symbol hold control. In FIG. 11, (a) to (e) show examples of symbol hold control processing over time.

  As shown in (a), in the decoration variation area 113, after the preceding variation display of the decoration symbol is started in the first variation area, as shown in (b), the decoration symbol in the second variation area. The following fluctuation display is started. Then, after the preceding variation display in the first variation region, the variation display performed in the first variation region (for example, in this example, the stop symbols of the variation regions 106, 103, and 109) is started. Then, when the subsequent variation display performed in the second variation region is scheduled to be executed next by the storage of the second decoration variation display, the start of the first variation region ( As shown in c), in the variation region where the display result is derived and displayed in the variation region of the second part this time, a part of the variation region where the symbol is stopped (for example, in this example, the first and Of the two variable areas, the display data is stored and held in the hold data storage area of the RAM 85 for some of the variable areas 101, 102, 104, and 107) whose symbols are stopped. As a result, the fluctuation area when the fluctuation display is performed next in the fluctuation area of the second part is secured.

  Then, following the preceding variation display performed in the first variation region, when the subsequent variation display performed in the second variation region is started as shown in FIG. By using the display data stored and held for the subsequent fluctuation display, the fluctuation area secured as described above is used. Thus, the subsequent fluctuation display performed in the fluctuation area of the second part is executed in the fluctuation area including the fluctuation area in which the display data is stored and held. In the subsequent variation display performed in the variation region of the second part, the variation region in which the display data of the variation region of the second part is stored and held is newly determined as shown in (e). The stopped symbols are derived and displayed.

  As described later, when performing variable display using the hold area, at least a part of the variable area in which the symbols are stopped is selected and determined as the hold area (randomly selected and determined). ) Note that as the hold area, all of the fluctuation areas where the symbols are stopped may be selected and determined. Further, when the variable display is performed using the hold area as described above, the stop symbol of the hold area is determined as follows. For example, when the display result of the subsequent fluctuation display using the hold area is the probability variation jackpot display result, information indicating an effective line for displaying the jackpot display result regarding the subsequent fluctuation display and whether or not the probability variation jackpot is set. Based on the information, the stop pattern of the hold area is selected and determined so that the probability variation jackpot display result can be derived and displayed on the effective line for displaying the jackpot display result. Further, when the display result of the subsequent fluctuation display using the hold area is set as the normal jackpot display result, the jackpot is based on the information indicating the effective line for displaying the jackpot display result and the information indicating whether or not the probability change jackpot is set. The stop symbol of the hold area is selected and determined so that the normal jackpot display result can be derived and displayed on the effective line for displaying the display result.

  In addition, when the display result of the subsequent fluctuation display using the hold area becomes the reach out-of-reach display result, the reach of the effective line is reached based on the information indicating the effective line for displaying the display result as the reach related to the subsequent fluctuation display. However, the stop symbol of the hold area is selected and determined so that the display result that is out of date can be derived and displayed. In addition, when the display result of the trailing fluctuation display using the hold symbol is set as the non-reach display result, the hold result is displayed so that the display result that does not become reach and does not become the jackpot display result can be derived and displayed. The stop symbol of the area is selected and determined.

  As described above, by using the hold area as the fluctuation area for executing the fluctuation display, the second decoration fluctuation using the fluctuation area including the fluctuation area controlled in the state derived when the first decoration fluctuation display is started. Since the display is performed, it is possible to simplify the process of selecting which variation area to display the second decoration variation display, and to reduce the control burden of the display control microcomputer 800 when the decoration variation display is executed. be able to.

  Next, the display result of one of the first special decoration fluctuation display and the first decoration fluctuation display, the second special decoration fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display in the decoration fluctuation display device 90 becomes a big hit display result. A display example of an image displayed on the decoration variation display device 90 when the gaming state is in progress will be described.

  FIG. 12 shows that the display result of one of the first special decoration fluctuation display and the first decoration fluctuation display, the second special decoration fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display in the decoration fluctuation display device 90 is a jackpot display result. It is a display screen figure which shows the image displayed with the decoration variation display apparatus 90 when the big hit game state is advancing. In FIG. 12, (a) to (e), as an example, the display screen when the big hit gaming state is controlled according to the display results of the first special decoration variation display and the first decoration variation display over time. Therefore it is shown.

  When the leading variation display is started on the first special symbol display 8, the decoration variation display device 90 responds accordingly, as shown in (a), in the decoration variation region 113, the first variation region ( For example, in this example, the first decoration variation display is started in the variation areas 101, 102, 103), and the first special decoration variation display in the first special decoration variation area 111 is started. Then, when the second variation display is started on the second special symbol display 9, the variation variation display device 90 responds accordingly, as shown in FIG. In the example, the second ornament variation display is started in the variation regions 104 to 109), and the second special ornament variation display in the second special variation region 112 is started.

  Then, when the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8, the decoration variation display device 90 responds accordingly, as shown in (c), for example, in the first region in the variation region. A combination of jackpot symbols is derived and displayed as a display result of the one ornament variation display, and a jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a display result of the first special ornament variation display in the first special ornament variation area 111. Thus, the big hit gaming state is controlled.

  Thus, when controlled to the big hit gaming state, the second special symbol display 9 that has not yet completed the fluctuation display, the fluctuation display is interrupted until the big hit gaming state ends, and the big hit gaming state is After finishing, the variable display is resumed. Correspondingly, in each of the second decoration variation display in the variation area of the second part and the second special decoration variation display in the second special decoration variation area 112, the variation display is performed until the big hit gaming state is finished. After being interrupted and completing the jackpot gaming state, the variable display is resumed.

  Thus, in the state where the variable display is interrupted, the second special symbol display 9 stops and displays the outlier display result as a temporary display result. Correspondingly, in the decoration variation display device 90, for the decoration variation area 113, for example, in the variation area (for example, the variation areas 105 and 108 in this example) during the variation display as shown in FIG. By selecting and determining the stop symbol so that the display result is a deviation symbol in each active line in relation to the fluctuation region where the display result is derived and displayed, the loss display result is displayed as a temporary display result in the variation region of the second part. Stopped display. In addition, in the second special decoration variation area 112, as in the second special symbol display 9, the shift display result is stopped and displayed as a temporary display result. As a result, the display of the variation in the second special decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display can be performed without giving a distrust to the player that the variation display resulting in the jackpot display has been stopped. Can be interrupted.

  In the big hit gaming state, a predetermined effect display such as a display for producing each round of the big hit gaming state is performed. When the big hit gaming state is ended, as shown in (e), the variable display that has been suspended is resumed by disclosing the variable display in the variable region where the temporary display result has been stopped.

  In FIG. 12, when the big hit game state is controlled according to the display results of the first special decoration variation display and the first decoration variation display, the second special decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are interrupted. An example is shown in which the interrupted second special decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are resumed after the big hit gaming state ends. Similarly to such a case, when the big hit game state is controlled according to the display results of the second special decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the first special decoration variation display and the first decoration variation display are interrupted. After the big hit gaming state is ended, the interrupted first special decoration variation display and the first decoration variation display are resumed.

  As described above, when the big hit gaming state is controlled based on the display result of either the first special decoration fluctuation display and the first decoration fluctuation display, the second special decoration fluctuation display or the second decoration fluctuation display, By interrupting the other variation display, it is possible to prevent the big hit gaming state from occurring simultaneously based on the variation display results of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9. And since it can prevent that a big hit game state generate | occur | produces simultaneously in this way, it can prevent a player from being confused.

  Next, the control operation in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining a game control main process and a timer interrupt process executed by the game control microcomputer 53. In FIG. 13, (a) shows the game control main process, and (b) shows the timer interrupt process. This timer interrupt process is executed once every 2 msec, for example.

  In the game control main process shown in (a), an initialization process for initializing the built-in device register and the like is first performed in step S (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 1, and a random number for updating the random counter in S2. Update processing is performed. In the random number update process in S2, the values of R3 to R7 described above are updated. In the present embodiment, after the interrupt process is executed every 2 msec, the process of S2 is repeatedly performed during the remaining interrupt waiting process time until the next interrupt process is executed.

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

  In the game control process, first, detection signals of various switches such as the first gate switch 61, the second gate switch 66, the start port switch 62, and the count switch 63 are input via the switch circuit 32, and their states A switch process for determining is performed (S12).

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

  Next, in S14, a random number update process for updating the value of the random counter is performed. In the random number update process of S14, each of R1 to R8 described above is updated.

  Next, the second special symbol process is performed (S15). In the second special symbol process, a corresponding process is selected according to a second special symbol process flag for controlling the second special symbol display 9, the special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. To be executed. The value of the second special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Further, the normal symbol process is performed (S16). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. By executing the normal symbol process, the display control of the normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the movable piece 16 of the start winning portion 15 are executed.

  Next, an effect control command for designating control related to the display of the decorative pattern variation in the decorative variation display device 90 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55, and a decorative symbol command control process for sending the effect control command is performed (S17). Further, for example, information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer is performed (S18).

  Then, a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals of various switches related to the payout of prize balls such as the start port switch 62 and the count switch 63 is executed (S19). Specifically, a prize ball control signal indicating the number of prize balls is output to the payout control board 36 in response to winning detection based on whether any of the start port switch 62 and the count switch 63 is turned on. The payout control microcomputer mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with the prize ball control signal indicating the number of prize balls, and performs control for paying out the prize balls.

  Then, a storage process is executed (S20). In this storage process, for example, when there is a start winning and the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number increases, or when the fluctuation starts and the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number decreases. When the number of reserved memories changes, a process of transmitting a reserved memory number command that can specify the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number is performed. As the reserved memory number command, a first reserved memory number command capable of specifying the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory number command capable of specifying the second reserved memory number are used.

  For example, when there is a start prize for satisfying the execution condition of the variable display and the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number increases, the increased reserved memory number is increased so that it can be displayed on the decorative variable display device 90. The first reserved memory number command or the second reserved memory number command is transmitted as the reserved memory number command corresponding to the reserved memory number. Further, when the variable display start condition is satisfied and the fluctuation is started and the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number is decreased, the decorative memory display unit 90 displays the reserved memory number corresponding to the decreased reserved memory number. As possible, the first reserved memory number command or the second reserved memory number command is transmitted as the reserved memory number command corresponding to the decreased reserved memory number. In the display control microcomputer 800, the reserved memory number display unit 110 displays the reserved memory number based on the first reserved memory number command and the second reserved memory number command transmitted as described above.

  In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (S21). Further, a solenoid output process (S22) is executed for instructing the solenoid circuit 33 to drive various solenoids when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The solenoid circuit 33 drives the solenoids 71 and 72 in accordance with the drive command in order to open or close the start winning unit 15 and the special variable winning device 20.

  Next, a first special symbol display control process is performed (S23). In the first special symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the first special symbol display 8 is performed. Then, the second special symbol display control process is performed (S24). In the second special symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the second special symbol display 9 is performed. Further, a normal symbol display control process is performed (S25). In the normal symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 is performed. Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S26).

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

  In this embodiment, in addition to the two displays of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9, one decorative variation display device 90 is used to display the first special decorative variation and the second special decorative variation. The display is executed, and further, the first decoration change display and the second decoration change display are executed by one decoration change display device 90. And control which shifts to a big hit game state when either one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 displays a big hit display result as a variable display result. Executed.

  As described above, in a gaming machine that includes a plurality of determination variation display units and displays the variation display of symbols on each variation display unit, there is a possibility that a big hit gaming state may occur at the same time. For this reason, in this embodiment, control is performed so that the big hit gaming state does not occur simultaneously in the two determination variation display units. In the following, display control related to variable display will be mainly described, including such control. In the following description, processing for controlling the special fluctuation display and the decoration fluctuation display for the first special fluctuation display on the first special symbol display 8 and the first decoration fluctuation display on the decoration fluctuation display device 90 will be described. However, in the processing for the second special variation display on the second special symbol display 8 and the second decoration variation display on the decoration variation display device 90, the device and data targeted for the control target are also stored. Similar control is executed by replacing the display with one corresponding to the second special variation display and the second decoration variation display.

  Next, processing contents of the first special symbol process (S13) and the second special symbol process (S15) will be described. The processing contents of the first special symbol process and the second special symbol process are as follows: the first special symbol process is performed on the first special symbol display 8, and the second special symbol process is the second special symbol. Although different in that the processing is performed on the display device 9, the processing contents for controlling the variable display to be processed are the same. Therefore, here, the first special symbol process is described as a representative example of these special symbol process, and the detailed description of the second special symbol process is not repeated. The processing content of the first special symbol process described below is to replace the processing target of the first special symbol display 8 in the first special symbol processing by the processing target of the second special symbol display 9, and By replacing data such as various flags used in the first special symbol process with data such as various flags used in the second special symbol process, the processing contents of the second special symbol process are obtained.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a program of the first special symbol process (S13) executed by the game control microcomputer 53. In the first special symbol process, a process for controlling the first special symbol display 8 is executed. The game control microcomputer 53 performs the following processing in the first special symbol process.

  First, it is determined whether or not the start opening switch 62 is turned on, that is, whether or not a start winning that causes the game ball to win the start winning opening 14 has occurred (S131). When it is determined that the start port switch 62 is not turned on, any one of S140 to S148 is performed according to the internal state. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start port switch 62 is on, it is determined whether or not the start winning portion 15 is closed (S132). The time when the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state means the time when the movable piece 16 is in the closed state (a state where it is easy to win a prize) in the start winning portion 15. Whether the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state or the open state is determined by setting the start winning portion state flag when the movable piece 16 is in the open state in the solenoid processing of S22, A process of resetting the start winning part status flag is performed when the engine is in the closed state, and the state of the start winning part state flag is confirmed in S132.

  When it is determined that the start winning portion 15 is not in the closed state, it is a case where the start winning is detected when the start winning opening 14 is in the open state. In this case, the second reserved storage data is acquired based on the start winning. Therefore, any one of S140 to S148 is performed according to the internal state without acquiring the first reserved storage data. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state, it is a case where the start winning portion is detected when the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state. In this case, the first reserved storage data is based on the start winning portion. In order to acquire the first start process (S133).

  In the first start-up process, it is confirmed whether the storage number of the first reserved storage data as the numerical data stored in the first reservation storage buffer of the RAM 55 (the upper limit is four reserved storage numbers) has reached the upper limit value, If the stored number of the first reserved memory data stored in the one reserved memory buffer has not reached the maximum value, the count value of the first reserved memory counter indicating the first reserved memory number is incremented by one. Then, the numerical data (random number) as the first reserved storage data is extracted from the above-mentioned random counter R1 for jackpot determination and the random counter R2 for probability change determination, and these correspond to the extraction order of the first reservation storage buffer ( A process of storing in the storage area (corresponding to the value of the first pending storage counter) is executed.

  Thus, when the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state, the start port switch 62 is turned on, and the number of numerical data stored in the first reserved storage buffer (the number of reserved memories) has not reached the upper limit value. When the execution condition for the first special variation display is satisfied, the condition for extracting numerical data as the first reserved storage data is satisfied. The extraction of numerical data means that numerical data is read from a counter for generating numerical data, and the read numerical data is used as a random number value. After the first start process, any one of S140 to S148 is performed according to the internal state.

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

  First special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141): Fluctuation display by selectively using the extracted values of the random counters R3 and R4 for determining the jackpot symbol and the extracted value of the random counter R5 for determining the off symbol The stop symbol (big hit symbol or off symbol) of the subsequent first special symbol indicator 8 is determined. Further, a first stop symbol information command for specifying information of the first decorative symbol to be derived and displayed is set. The first stop symbol information command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S17 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S142.

  First variation pattern setting process (S142): Extracting the value of the random counter R6 for determining the variation pattern, and using the variation pattern table described in FIG. 6, a plurality of types of variations determined in advance according to the value of R6 By selecting and determining from the patterns, the variation pattern of the variation display on the first special symbol display 8 is selected and determined.

  Further, based on the selected and determined variation pattern, the variation display time (time from the start of variation to the time when the display result is derived and displayed) for the variation display on the first special symbol display 8 is set to the first special symbol process timer. After setting, the first special symbol process timer is started. In addition, a drive signal for starting the variable display of the first special symbol is set. The drive signal set here is output in S23 of FIG. In addition, a first variation pattern command which is a command for commanding a variation pattern including information on the variation display time of the first decorative symbol is set. The first variation pattern command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S17 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S143.

  First special symbol variation process (S143): When the variation time in the variation pattern selected and determined in the first variation pattern setting processing elapses (the first special symbol process timer set in S142 times out), the first special symbol variation process The process flag is updated to shift to S144 or S145. For example, when the first big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S144. On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is set, the first special symbol process flag is updated so as to move to S145.

  First special symbol deviation stop process (S144): Control is performed so that the symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol indicator 8 are stopped at the off symbol. Specifically, a driving signal for stopping the first special symbol at the off symbol determined by the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is set. The drive signal set here is output in S23 of FIG. And the 1st symbol stop command for stopping the 1st decoration variation display in the decoration variation display apparatus 90 is set. The first symbol stop command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S17 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S140.

  First special symbol jackpot stop process (S145): Control is performed so that the symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display 8 are stopped at the big jackpot symbol. Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the first special symbol at the jackpot symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is set. The drive signal set here is output in S23 of FIG. And the 1st symbol stop command for stopping the 1st decoration variation display in the decoration variation display apparatus 90 is set. The first symbol stop command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S17 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S146. Then, a first jackpot start command indicating that the first jackpot gaming state is started is set. The first big hit start command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S17 of FIG.

  Preliminary winning opening opening process (S146): Control for opening the large winning opening 21 is started. The special winning award device 21 is opened by driving the solenoid 72 to open the special variable winning device 20. In addition, the execution time of the special prize opening opening process is set in the first special symbol process timer, and the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S147.

  Processing during opening of the big winning opening (S147): control for sending an effect control command for instructing round display during the first big hit gaming state to the display control board 80, processing for confirming that the closing condition of the big winning opening 21 is satisfied, etc. To do. If the closing condition for the special winning opening 21 is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the continuation condition is satisfied, so the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S145. Further, when the closing condition of the big winning opening 21 is satisfied and there are no remaining rounds, the continuation condition is not satisfied after all rounds are completed, and the first big hit gaming state is ended. The jackpot end command is set. The first big hit end command set here is output to the display control board 80 in S17 of FIG. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S148.

First jackpot end processing (S148): Control is performed to cause the display control microcomputer 800 to display when the first jackpot gaming state ends. Then, the first special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S140. In the first big hit end processing,
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a program of the second special symbol process (S15) executed by the game control microcomputer 53. In the second special symbol process, a process for controlling the second special symbol display 9 is executed. Here, regarding the second special symbol process, the processing of the stored data that is different from the first special symbol process will be mainly described.

  First, it is determined whether or not the start opening switch 62 is turned on, that is, whether or not a start winning that causes the game ball to win the start winning opening 14 has occurred (S331). When it is determined that the start port switch 62 is not turned on, any one of S340 to S348 is performed according to the internal state. S340 to S348 are obtained by replacing the processing contents of S140 to S148 described above in order to control the second special variation display and the second decoration variation display, and redundant description will not be repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start port switch 62 is on, it is determined whether or not the start winning portion 15 is in an open state (S332). Specifically, this is performed based on checking the state of the above-described start winning part state flag in S332.

  When it is determined that the start winning portion 15 is not in the open state, it is a case where the start winning portion is detected when the start winning portion 15 is in the closed state. In this case, the first reserved storage data is acquired based on the start winning portion. Therefore, any one of S340 to S348 is performed according to the internal state without acquiring the second reserved storage data. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start winning portion 15 is in the open state, it is a case where the start winning portion is detected when the start winning portion 15 is in the open state. In this case, the first reserved storage data is based on the start winning portion. In order to acquire the second starting process (S333).

  In the second start-up process, it is confirmed whether the storage number of the second reserved storage data (the upper limit is four reserved storage numbers) as the numerical data stored in the second reservation storage buffer of the RAM 55 has reached the upper limit value, If the stored number of the second reserved memory data stored in the two reserved memory buffer has not reached the maximum value, the count value of the second reserved memory counter indicating the second reserved memory number is incremented by one. Then, numerical data (random numbers) as the second reserved storage data is extracted from the above-mentioned random counter R1 for jackpot determination and the random counter R2 for probability change determination, and these correspond to the extraction order of the second reservation storage buffer ( The process of storing in the storage area (corresponding to the value of the second pending storage counter) is executed.

  Thus, when the start winning portion 15 is in the open state, the start port switch 62 is turned on, and the number of stored numerical data (the number of reserved storage) in the second reserved storage buffer has not reached the upper limit value. When the execution condition for the second special variation display is satisfied, the condition for extracting the numerical data as the second reserved storage data is satisfied. The extraction of numerical data means that numerical data is read from a counter for generating numerical data, and the read numerical data is used as a random number value. After the second start process, any one of S340 to S348 is performed according to the internal state.

  S131 to S133 are executed in the first special symbol process, and S331 to S333 are executed in the second special symbol process, so that the special symbol is displayed based on the start winning when the start winning portion 15 is closed. The variation display of the special symbol display 9 is executed based on the start winning when the start winning portion 15 is in the open state.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol normal process (S140) in the first special symbol process. The game control microcomputer 53 performs the following processing in the first special symbol normal processing. The first special symbol normal process is executed when the special symbol is not displayed on the first special symbol display 8 and is not in a big hit game.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not the second big hit execution flag is set (S30). The second jackpot execution flag is a second special symbol variation process in the second special symbol process (S15) when the second jackpot gaming state is started when the big jackpot symbol is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9. (Not shown), and when the second jackpot gaming state ends, it is reset by a second jackpot end process (not shown).

  When the second big hit execution flag is set, the process returns. On the other hand, when the second big hit execution flag is not set, the value of the first reserved memory counter is checked to determine whether or not the first reserved memory number is “0” (S31). If the first reserved storage number is 0, the process returns.

  If the first reserved memory number is not 0, each random number (numerical data) stored in the first reserved memory buffer corresponding to the first reserved memory number = 1 in the first reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 is read out. While storing in the random number buffer area (S32), the value of the first reserved memory number is decreased by 1 (the count value of the first reserved memory counter is decremented by 1), and the contents of each storage area are shifted (S33). That is, each random number stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 is set to the first reserved memory number = n−1. Store in the corresponding storage area. Therefore, the order in which the random numbers stored in the respective storage areas corresponding to the numbers of reserved memories are extracted always matches the order of the numbers of reserved memories = 1, 2, 3, and 4. . That is, in this example, the contents of each storage area are shifted each time the start condition of the variable display is satisfied, so that the order in which the random numbers are extracted can be specified.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the second big hit flag is set (S34). If it is determined in S34 that the second big hit flag is not set, the second big hit gaming state is not being executed, and the second special symbol display 9 is performing the variable display for the second big hit. But when it ’s not. In this case, the process proceeds to S35 in order to determine the big hit.

  Next, in S35, the big hit determination random number (the extracted data of R1) is read from the random number buffer area. Then, a big hit determination process is executed (S36). In the big hit determination process, the following process is performed. First, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set. When the probability variation flag is set, a plurality of predetermined values are set as the jackpot judgment value used for jackpot judgment as the jackpot judgment value at the time of probability variation. When the probability variation flag is not set, the jackpot judgment used for the jackpot judgment One predetermined value is set for the value as a jackpot determination value at the time of non-probability change. Then, the big hit determination random number read in S32 and the big hit determination value are compared, and the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value are determined to be a big hit, and when these do not match, no big hit is made ( Make a decision. In this way, in the big hit determination, it is determined whether or not the big hit is made by lottery using the big hit determination random number.

  As a result of the big hit determination process, when it is determined to be a big hit (Y in S37), the first big hit flag is set (S38). As a result, as a result of the variable display, the game state is controlled to the big hit gaming state. On the other hand, when it is determined not to enter the first big hit gaming state (N in S37), the first big hit flag is not set. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141) (S39), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the second big hit flag is set in S34 described above, since the second special symbol display 9 is performing the variable display that becomes the second big hit, In order to prevent the second jackpot and the first jackpot from overlapping, the process proceeds directly to S39 without making the jackpot determination in S36. At that time, since the big hit determination by S36 is not performed, the display result of the variable display based on the first reserved storage data is forcibly removed.

  In the first special symbol normal process as described above, when the big hit display result is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 and the second big hit gaming state occurs, the second big hit running flag is set. Since the second big hit game state flag is not reset until the second big hit game state ends, Y is selected in S30 in the first special symbol normal process (S140) until the second big hit game state ends, The processes after S31 are not executed. As described above, when the big hit symbol is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 and the second big hit gaming state is generated, the first special symbol display 8 is controlled not to start the variable symbol display.

  In the first special symbol normal processing, when the variable display that results in the derivation display of the jackpot display result is performed on the second special symbol display 9, the second jackpot execution flag is not set. Since the second big hit flag is set, the big hit is determined so that the big hit determination processing in S36 is not executed and the result is forcibly displayed without change during the period in which the variable display is performed. Processing for limiting the determination is performed. As a result, when the variable display that results in the derivation display of the big hit display result is performed on the second special symbol display 9, the control that does not determine the first big hit gaming state is performed.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141) in the first special symbol process. In the first special symbol stop symbol setting process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following processing.

  First, it is determined whether or not the first big hit flag is set (S41). When the first big hit flag is not set, a random number is extracted from R5, and the off symbol of the first special symbol is determined based on the extracted value (S46). That is, based on the random number extracted from R5, the first special symbol derived and displayed as a display result from “0” or an even symbol is determined. And it progresses to S47 mentioned later.

  On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is set, it is extracted from R2 at the time of starting winning, and the probability change determination is made based on the extracted value of R2 read in S34 (S42). Then, it is determined whether or not it is determined to be a probable big hit in the determination of S42 (S43). When it is determined that the probability variation jackpot is set, the first probability variation jackpot flag is set (S44), and the process proceeds to S45. Here, the first probability variation jackpot flag is a flag indicating that it has been determined that the variation display performed on the first special symbol display 8 side is the probability variation jackpot. On the other hand, when it is determined that the probability variation big hit is not made, the process proceeds to S45 as it is.

  In S45, a random number is extracted from R3 or R4, and the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined based on the extracted value. Specifically, in S45, when the first probability variation big hit flag is set, that is, when the probability variation big hit is set, the first special variation big hit symbol determination data table is used, and the first special variation big hit flag is determined based on the extracted value of R3. The probability variation big hit symbol as a symbol display result is determined. On the other hand, when the normal big hit is made, the normal big hit symbol as a display result of the first special symbol is determined based on the extracted value of R4 using the above-mentioned normal big hit symbol determination data table. After S45, the process proceeds to S47.

  In S47, processing for selecting the first stop symbol information command to be transmitted is performed. Specifically, when the off symbol is determined at S46, that is, when the first big hit flag is not set, a command for designating the off symbol determined at S46 is used as the first stop symbol information command. select. On the other hand, when the first jackpot flag is set, a command for designating the jackpot symbol determined in S45 is selected as the first stop symbol information command (specifically, in the first stop symbol information command). Is specified whether to be a probable jackpot symbol or a normal jackpot symbol).

  Next, a setting (command set) for transmitting the first stop symbol information command selected in S47 is performed (S48). When the first stop symbol information command is set in this way, the first stop symbol information command is output in S17 of FIG. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first variation pattern setting process (S142) (S49), and the process returns.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the first variation pattern setting process (S142) in the first special symbol process. The game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process in the first variation pattern setting process.

  First, by determining whether or not the first jackpot flag has been set, it is determined whether or not it has been determined that the variable display on the first special symbol display 8 side is a jackpot (S61). When it is determined that the big hit is determined, the big hit determination time data table is selected from the first variation pattern tables shown in FIG. 6A (S62), and the process proceeds to S67. On the other hand, when it is determined that the big hit is not determined, the process proceeds to S63 described later. In S63, it is a state in which it is determined that the fluctuation display result is out of place, and a random number is extracted from R7, and reach determination is performed based on the extracted value (S65). The reach determination result in this case is stored as data such as a reach flag. Then, it is determined whether or not the second big hit flag is set in order to determine whether or not the variable display for the second big hit is being performed (S64).

  When it is determined that the second big hit flag is not set, it is a time when it is not determined that the second big hit is set, so the first variation pattern table shown in FIG. Among the first variation pattern tables, either the non-reach shift determination data table or the reach shift determination data table is selected (S65), and the process proceeds to S67. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second big hit flag is set, since it is determined that the second big hit flag is set, the second fluctuation pattern table shown in FIG. In the second variation pattern table, either the non-reach shift determination data table or the reach shift determination data table is selected (S66), and the process proceeds to S67. In each of S65 and S66, when it is determined not to reach in S63, the non-reach shift determination data table is selected, and when it is determined to reach, the reach shift determination data table is determined. Selected.

  In S67, a random number is extracted from R6, and a variation pattern is selected based on the extracted value using the variation pattern table selected in S62, S65, and S66. Then, the first special symbol display 8 is set to start the variable display of the first special symbol (S68). Specifically, a drive signal for starting the variable display of the first special symbol is set on the first special symbol display 8, and the drive signal is output in S23 of FIG. Then, a setting (command set) for transmitting the first variation pattern command corresponding to the variation pattern selected in S69 is performed (S69). When the variation pattern command is set in this way, the first variation pattern command is output in S17 of FIG. Then, based on the selected variation pattern, the variation display time for the first special symbol display 8 is set in the first special symbol process timer, and then the first special symbol process timer is started (S70). The first special symbol process timer is a timer used for managing the variable display time on the first special symbol display 8. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol variation process (S143) (S71), and the process returns.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol variation process (S143) in the first special symbol process. In the first special symbol variation process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not the second big hit flag is set (S80). If the second big hit flag is not set, it is confirmed whether or not the first special symbol variation restart flag is set (S81). The first special symbol variation resumption flag is a second special symbol for resuming the variation display of the first special symbol suspended when the second big hit game state is being executed, when the second big hit game state is ended. This flag is set by the symbol process, and details will be described later with reference to FIG. When the first special symbol variation restart flag is set, the process proceeds to S82 described later.

  On the other hand, when the first special symbol variation restart flag is not set, the first special symbol process timer is decremented by 1 (S84), and when the first special symbol process timer times out (S85), the first big hit flag is set. It is confirmed whether it is (S86). If the first big hit flag is set, the first big hit running flag is set (S87), and the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol big hit stop process (S145). (S88a), return. On the other hand, if the first big hit flag is not set, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol deviation stop process (S144) (S88b), and the process returns. If the first special symbol process timer has not timed out in S85, the process returns without updating the value of the first special symbol process flag. That is, when the first special symbol process is executed again, the first special symbol variation process is performed again. In addition, when the first big hit execution flag is set in S87, the second special symbol process (S15) is executed to interrupt the special symbol variation display on the second special symbol display 9.

  On the other hand, if the second big hit flag is set in S80, it is confirmed whether or not the first interruption flag is set (S89). If the first interruption flag is not set, it is checked whether or not the second big hit execution flag is set (S90). If the second big hit execution flag is not set, the process proceeds to S81 described above. On the other hand, if the second big hit execution flag is set, the first interruption flag is set (S91). Then, processing for setting to interrupt the variable display of the first special symbol is performed (S92). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a drive signal is set for interrupting the display of the variation of the first special symbol on which the variation is displayed on the first special symbol display 8 and stopping the display of the symbol. The drive signal is output in the first special symbol display control process (S23) of FIG. Thereby, in the 1st special symbol indicator 8, the fluctuation | variation display of a 1st special symbol is interrupted and a deviating symbol is stopped and displayed. Next, the setting (command set) for transmitting the first interruption command is performed (S93), and the process returns. The first interruption command is a command for instructing to interrupt the first decoration fluctuation display and the first special decoration fluctuation display on the decoration fluctuation display device 90. The first interruption command set in S93 is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control process (S17) of FIG. That is, if it is determined in S90 that the second big hit execution flag is set, the process of S84 is not executed, so the first special symbol process timer is not subtracted, the first interruption flag is set, and the first interruption command is set. Is transmitted to the display control board 80. When receiving the first interruption command, the display control microcomputer 800 executes control for interrupting the first decoration variation display and the first special decoration variation display in the decoration variation display device 90.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the first special symbol display 8 is executing the first special variation display (when the first special symbol process timer has not timed out), the second big hit is being executed. When the flag is set, the subtraction of the first special symbol process timer for measuring the variation time is interrupted, and a command for instructing the display control board 80 to interrupt the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display is transmitted. By doing so, after the big hit gaming state based on the fact that the big hit display result is derived and displayed on the second special symbol display 9 until the end of the big hit gaming state, A process of interrupting the first decoration variation display and the first special decoration variation display in the one special variation display and decoration variation display device 90 is performed.

  If it is determined in S81 that the first special symbol variation restart flag has been set, a process for setting the suspended display of the suspended first special symbol variation is performed (S82). . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a drive signal for resuming the variable display of the first special symbol for which the variable display is interrupted by the first special symbol display 8 is set, and the drive signal is shown in FIG. Is output in the first special symbol display control process (S23). Then, the first special symbol variation restart flag is reset (S83), and the process proceeds to S84. Thereby, measurement of the fluctuation time by the suspended first special symbol process timer is resumed.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol losing stop process (S144) and the first special symbol big hit stopping process (S145) in the first special symbol process. In the first special symbol loss stop process and the first special symbol big hit stop process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  FIG. 20A shows a flowchart of the first special symbol deviation stopping process. First, a process for setting to stop the variable display of the first special symbol is performed (S100a). Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol that is performing the variable display on the first special symbol display 8 is set, and the drive signal is the first special symbol display control processing ( It is output at S23). As a result, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed at the stop symbol determined as the off symbol. Further, a setting (command set) for transmitting the first symbol stop command is performed (S101b). The first symbol stop command is a command for instructing to stop the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display on the ornament variation display device 90. The first symbol stop command set in S101b is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control process (S17) of FIG. When receiving the first symbol stop command, the display control microcomputer 800 executes control for deriving and displaying the display result by stopping the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display in the ornament variation display device 90.

  Next, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol normal process (S140) (S102a), and the process returns.

  FIG. 20B shows a flowchart of the first special symbol big hit stopping process. First, processing for setting to stop the variable display of the first special symbol is performed (S100b). Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol that is performing the variable display on the first special symbol display 8 is set, and the drive signal is the first special symbol display control processing ( It is output at S23). As a result, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed at the stop symbol determined as the jackpot symbol. Further, a setting (command set) for transmitting the first symbol stop command is performed (S101b). The first symbol stop command set in S101b is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control process (S17) of FIG.

  Next, a setting (command set) for transmitting a first jackpot start command indicating that the first jackpot is started is performed (S102b). The first jackpot start command set in S102b is transmitted to the display control board 80 by the decorative symbol command control process (S17) of FIG. Then, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special winning opening opening pre-processing (S146) (S103b), and the process returns. When the display control microcomputer 800 receives the first big hit start command, the display in the big hit gaming state such as a display indicating that the first big hit gaming state is started and a moving image for opening are displayed on the decoration variation display device 90. Control to display.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the first big hit end process (S147) in the first special symbol process. In the first jackpot ending process, the game control microcomputer 53 performs the following process.

  First, the first big hit execution flag is reset (S110). A process of starting the variation of the special symbol in the second special symbol display 9 by the second special symbol normal process in the second special symbol process (S15) by resetting the first big hit execution flag in S110; The subtraction process of the second special symbol process timer that measures the variation time of the second special symbol is executed by the special symbol variation process. Then, the first big hit flag is reset (S111).

  Then, it is determined whether or not a second interruption flag that can be set in the second special symbol variation process (S343) in the second special symbol process (S15) is set (S112). When the second interruption flag is not set, the process proceeds to S116 described later. On the other hand, when the second interruption flag is set, the setting (command setting) for transmitting the second restart command is performed (S113). Here, the second restart command is a command for instructing the restart of the second decorative variation display and the second special decorative variation display suspended in the decorative variation display device 90. The reason why the second restart command is transmitted is to resume the variable display on the second special symbol display 9 side which is interrupted by the big hit gaming state generated on the first special symbol display 8 side. The second restart command set in S115 is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the decorative symbol command control process (S17) of FIG. When the display control microcomputer 800 receives the second restart command, the display control microcomputer 800 performs control to restart the second decoration variation display and the second special decoration variation display in the decoration variation display device 90.

  Then, the second interruption flag is reset (S114). Then, in the second special symbol variation process in which the same processing as the first special symbol variation process of FIG. 19 is performed, the variation display of the second special symbol suspended as described above due to the occurrence of the first jackpot is resumed. As a flag, the second special symbol variation restart flag is set (S115), and the process proceeds to S116. Thus, in the second special symbol variation process of the second special symbol variation process, the processing corresponding to S81 to S83 is performed, so that the second special symbol that has been interrupted as described above due to the occurrence of the first big hit. The variable display is resumed.

  In S116, it is determined whether or not the first certainty jackpot flag is set. When it is determined that the first probability variation jackpot flag is not set, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol normal process (S140) (S119), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first probability variation jackpot flag is set, the probability variation flag is set (S117), and the first probability variation jackpot flag is reset (S118). By setting the first probability variation flag in this way, the probability variation state is controlled after the end of the first big hit gaming state. After S118, the value of the first special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first special symbol normal process (S140) (S119), and the process returns.

  Next, the operation of the display control microcomputer 800 will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the effect control main process executed by the display control microcomputer 800. In the effect control main process, first, an initialization process is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval, and the like (S201).

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

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

  In the effect control process, first, the timer interrupt flag is cleared (S203), and a power-off process for monitoring whether or not a power-off signal is output is executed (S204). Next, command analysis processing for analyzing the received effect control command is executed (S205). The contents of the command analysis process will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, a first effect control process is performed (S206). The contents of the first effect control process will be described later with reference to FIG. In the first effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (first effect control process flag) is selected from among the processes corresponding to the control state, and the first ornament change display and the ornament change display device 90 The effect control including the display control of the first special decoration variation display is executed. Next, a second effect control process is performed (S207). In the second effect control process, a process corresponding to the current control state (second effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and the second decoration change display and the decoration change display device 90 are selected. The effect control including the display control of the second special decoration variation display is executed.

  Next, a random number update process for updating a predetermined random counter is executed (S208). In the random number update process, for example, various random counters such as random counters RC1 to RC11 used for determining a combination of decorative symbols to be derived and displayed as a variation display result are updated. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of checking the timer interrupt flag in S202. An INT signal for effect control from the main board 31 is input to an interrupt terminal of the microcomputer 800 for display control. For example, when the INT signal from the main board 31 is turned on, an INT interrupt is generated in the display control microcomputer 800. Then, the display control microcomputer 800 executes an effect control command reception process in the interrupt process. In the effect control command reception process, the display control microcomputer 800 stores the received effect control command data in a command reception buffer provided in the RAM 85.

  In such an effect control main process, every time an interrupt occurs, a process of transmitting control data to the VDP is performed in order to execute the determined effect control content. Based on the control data, the VDP performs image display control. By performing such processing, various image displays such as an image display performed by adding the second decoration variation display to the first decoration variation display are executed.

  Next, command analysis processing in S205 of FIG. 22 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing command analysis processing.

  In the command analysis process, it is determined whether or not there is a reception command in the command reception buffer (S211). If there is no reception command, the process returns. On the other hand, when there is a reception command, the reception command is read (S212). The command data read here is erased in the command reception buffer. Then, it is determined whether or not the read reception command is the above-described stop symbol information command (first stop symbol information command, second stop symbol information command) (S213). When the received command is a stop symbol information command, data indicating stop symbol information indicated by the stop symbol information command is stored in a stop symbol information storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S214).

  The data stored in S214 includes the following flag data. For example, when the received first stop symbol information command designates a probability variation jackpot symbol, the first probability variation jackpot display is a flag for indicating that the variation display result corresponding to the first special variation display is the probability variation jackpot display result. Set the result flag. Further, when the first stop symbol information command designates a probable big hit symbol or a normal big hit symbol, the first big hit display is a flag for indicating that the variation display result corresponding to the first special variation display is the big hit display result. Set the result flag. Further, when the received second stop symbol information command designates a probability variation big hit symbol, a second probability variable big hit display is a flag for indicating that the variation display result corresponding to the second special variation display is the probability variation big hit display result. Set the result flag. In addition, when the second stop symbol information command designates the probability variation big hit symbol or the normal big hit symbol, the second big hit display is a flag for indicating that the variation display result corresponding to the second special variation display is the big hit display result. Set the result flag. When these flags are set, the decoration variation display device 90 is reset when the corresponding variation display ends.

  After S214, in response to the received command, a stop symbol information reception flag, which is a reception flag that can identify the received stop symbol information command, is set (S215). Specifically, in S215, when the first stop symbol information command is received, the first stop symbol information reception flag that can identify the received first stop symbol information command is set, and the second stop symbol information command is set. When received, a second stop symbol information reception flag capable of specifying the received second stop symbol information command is set. After S215, the process returns to S211.

  If the received command is not a stop symbol information command (first stop symbol information command, second stop symbol information command) in S213, the read command received is the aforementioned variation pattern command (first variation pattern command, second variation symbol command). It is determined whether it is a pattern command) (S216). If it is determined in S216 that the command is not a variation pattern command, the process proceeds to S222 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined by 216 that the pattern is a variation pattern command, the data specifying the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern command is stored in the variation pattern data storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S217). Then, in response to the received command, a variation pattern reception flag that is a reception flag that can identify the received variation pattern command is set (S218). Specifically, in S218, when the first fluctuation pattern command is received, the first fluctuation pattern reception flag that can identify the received first fluctuation pattern command is set, and when the second fluctuation pattern command is received. Then, a second pattern reception flag capable of specifying the received second variation pattern command is set.

  Then, based on the variation pattern reception flag set in S218, it is determined whether or not the received variation pattern is the first variation pattern command (S219). When it is determined that the command is the first variation pattern command, it is determined whether or not to give a notice effect for the first decoration variation display, the effective line for deriving and displaying the display result, and the combination of symbols to be derived and displayed as the display result Various decisions such as determination of effective line (hereinafter referred to as jackpot line), determination of effective line to be reached (hereinafter referred to as reach line), and determination of notice performance timing A first decoration variation setting process is performed (S220). The contents of the first decoration variation setting process will be described later with reference to FIG. After S220, the process returns to S211.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the command is the second variation pattern command, it is determined whether or not to give a notice effect for the second ornament variation display, determination of an effective line for deriving and displaying the display result, and a pattern derived and displayed as the display result. Various combinations, such as determining the combination of, determining the effective line for deriving and displaying the jackpot display result (hereinafter referred to as the jackpot line), determining the effective line to be reached (hereinafter referred to as the reach line), and determining the advance notice timing. The second decoration variation setting process for determining the above is performed (S221). After S221, the process returns to S211.

  If it is determined in S216 that the received command is not a variation pattern command, the read received command is a pending storage number command that is one of the first reserved memory number command or the second reserved memory number command. Whether or not (S222).

  If it is determined that the command is a reserved memory number command, it is determined whether or not the received command is a first reserved memory number command (S223). When it is determined that the command is the first reserved memory number command, the first reserved memory number data specified by the first reserved memory number command is stored in the first reserved memory number storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S224). ), Go to S226. At that time, the data of the first reserved memory number stored in the past is overwritten and updated with the new data of the first reserved memory number specified by the reception command. As a result, the data of the first reserved memory number stored in the first reserved memory number storage area becomes the latest data of the first reserved memory number specified by the first reserved memory number command.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the command is the second reserved memory number command, the second reserved memory number data specified by the second reserved memory number command is stored in the second reserved memory number storage area provided in the RAM 85. (S225), the process proceeds to S226. At that time, the data of the second reserved memory number stored in the past is overwritten and updated with the new data of the second reserved memory number specified by the reception command. Thereby, the data of the second reserved memory number stored in the second reserved memory number storage area becomes the latest second reserved memory number data specified by the second reserved memory number command.

  In S226, an operation for adding the data of the first reserved memory number stored in the first reserved memory number storage area and the data of the second reserved memory number stored in the second reserved memory number storage area is performed. Thus, the total reserved memory number that is the total value of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is obtained, and the data indicating the obtained total reserved memory number is stored in the total reserved memory number storage area provided in the RAM 85. The process to do is performed. As a result, the data of the total reserved memory number is stored in the second reserved memory number storage area. At that time, the data of the total reserved memory number stored in the past is overwritten and updated with the data of the total reserved memory number newly obtained based on the received command. Thereby, the data of the total pending storage number stored in the total pending storage number storage area becomes the latest total pending storage number data specified by the total pending storage number command.

  Next, the data of the current total pending storage number, which is the updated data, is determined whether the total pending storage number has increased with respect to the data of the previous total pending storage number which is the data before the update. (S227). When it is determined that the total reserved memory number is increasing, the reserved memory number is displayed based on the data indicating the total reserved memory number stored in S226 for the reserved memory number displayed on the reserved memory number display unit 110. Is updated to increase (S228), and the process returns to S211. On the other hand, when it is determined that the total number of reserved memories has not increased, the process returns to S211 without displaying the updated number of reserved memories.

  When it is determined in S222 that the received command is not a pending storage number command (when it is another command other than the commands described above), it is determined what other received command is, and the received command is The corresponding command reception flag is set (S229), and the process returns to S211. That is, S229 summarizes the processes corresponding to the reception of various commands other than the first and second stop symbol information commands, the first and second variation pattern commands, and the first and second reserved memory number commands. It is shown.

  Next, the first decoration variation setting process in S220 and the second decoration variation setting process in S221 will be described. The processing contents of the first decoration variation setting process and the second decoration variation setting process are the first decoration variation setting process for the first decoration variation display, and the second decoration variation setting process displays the second decoration variation display. Although different in that the processing is performed as a target, the processing contents for making various settings for the decoration variation display to be processed are the same. For this reason, here, the first decoration variation setting process will be described as a representative example of these processes, and the description of the process details of the second decoration variation setting process will not be repeated. Note that the processing contents of the first decoration variation setting process described below are obtained by replacing the processing target of the first decoration variation display in the first decoration variation setting process with the processing target of the second decoration variation display, and the first decoration variation display processing. By appropriately replacing data such as various flags used in the variation setting process with data such as various flags used in the second ornament variation setting process, the processing contents of the second ornament variation setting process are obtained.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the first decoration variation setting process (S220) in the command analysis process. In the first decoration variation setting process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a preceding variation display that is currently being executed so that a notice effect can be provided (S231). Specifically, the second variation time timer provided for monitoring the variation display time of the second ornament variation display is counting (counting down), and the remaining time until the timer expires As described above, when there is a predetermined remaining time that is equal to or longer than a predetermined time as the execution time of the notice effect, it is determined that there is a preceding variation display that is currently being executed and can be given the notice effect. Here, when starting the second decoration variation display, the second variation time timer is set to numerical data corresponding to the variation display time determined in advance according to the variation pattern, and then the numerical data is “0”. ”, That is, time measurement means that counts down each time the second effect control process is executed until the variable display time times out. For this reason, when the second variation time timer is not “0”, it means that the second decoration variation display is being executed. As a timer for monitoring the variation display time of the first decoration variation display, a first variation time timer having a counting function similar to that of the second variation time timer is provided.

  If it is determined that there is a preceding change display currently being executed, it is determined whether or not a notice effect as an effect for making a big hit notice is made (S232). Specifically, in S232, the value of the random counter RC11 for effect determination is extracted, and it is determined whether or not the extracted value of RC11 matches a predetermined notice effect determination value. If these values match, a determination result indicating that a notice effect is to be made is obtained, and a notice effect for the preceding fluctuation display is performed. On the other hand, when these values do not match, it is determined that the notice effect is not performed, and the notice effect for the preceding variation display is not performed. In the determination of whether or not to give a notice effect, when the preceding variation display results in a jackpot display result (when the second jackpot display result flag is set), the preceding variation display results in an outlier display result (first The determination result is that the notice effect is performed at a higher rate than when the two big hit display result flag is reset. Specifically, as a notice effect determination data table for determining the presence or absence of execution of the notice effect based on the extracted value of RC11, it is used to determine whether or not the notice effect is executed when the preceding variation display becomes a jackpot display result. The ROM 84 stores a data table for determining a notice effect at the time of loss and a data table for determining a notice effect at the time of a big hit that is used to determine the execution of the notice effect when the preceding variation display results in a disappointing display. The data table for determining the notice effect at the time of big hit is set such that the ratio of determining to execute the notice effect is higher than the data table for determining the notice effect at the time of loss. Thereby, when a notice effect is performed, a player's expectation can be raised.

  Next, it is determined whether or not it is determined to perform the notice effect in S232 (S233). When it is determined that the notice effect is determined, it is set when the notice effect is determined. The notice effect flag is set, and the process proceeds to S235. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is determined not to perform the notice effect, the process proceeds to S235 as it is. If it is determined in S231 that there is no preceding variation display currently being executed, the process proceeds to S235 without determining whether or not to give a notice effect.

  In S235, it is determined whether or not the first part allocation flag is set. Here, the first part allocation flag is a flag for indicating whether or not the variable display scheduled to start the next variable display is to be allocated to the variable area of the first part. When the first part assignment flag is set, it is indicated that there is a change display being executed assigned to the first part change area. On the other hand, when the first part assignment flag is reset, it is indicated that there is no change display being executed because it is assigned to the first part change area.

  When each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is started, the first part allocation flag in S235 (a step corresponding to S235 in the second decoration variation setting process when the second decoration variation display is started). When is not set, the fluctuation display scheduled to start is assigned as the fluctuation display in the first part of the fluctuation area, and the fluctuation is executed in the fluctuation area of the first part. On the other hand, when starting each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the first part in S235 (the step corresponding to S235 in the second decoration variation setting process when starting the second decoration variation display). When the allocation flag is set, the variation display scheduled to start is allocated as the variation display in the second variation region, and the variation is executed in the second variation region.

  Accordingly, when the first decoration change display is started when the second decoration change display is assigned to the second part change area as the preceding change display, the first part assignment flag is not set. The first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation region of the part. Conversely, when the first decoration variation display is started when the second decoration variation display is assigned to the first region variation area as the preceding variation display, the first part allocation flag is set, so The first decoration variation display is assigned to the two regions of variation.

  When it is determined in S235 that the first part allocation flag is not set (reset), the first line which is the effective line as the first part of the fluctuation area is determined according to the presence or absence of the preceding fluctuation display currently being executed. The one-part variation display line is determined (set), and data indicating the determined first-part variation display line is stored in the RAM 85 (S236).

  In S236, specifically, the first part variation display line is determined as follows. For example, when there is no preceding fluctuation display currently being executed, an initial setting fluctuation display line as shown in FIG. 7A is determined as the first part fluctuation display line.

  In addition, when there is a preceding variation display in the variation region of the second part currently being executed, the first variation display line is determined in the following selection determination order. The progress status of the leading variation display in the second variation region is confirmed, and the leading variation display in the variation region of the second portion of the first part effective lines shown in FIGS. 8A to 8F. The active line with the largest number of variable areas stopped at is selected and determined as the first part variable display line. The progress of the leading change display can be confirmed as follows. In other words, as described above, for each variation pattern of the first and second decoration variation display, the progress of the variation display is determined in advance according to the elapsed time since the start of the variation display, and the announcement effect is executed. Points are predetermined. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the stop status of the decorative symbols (variable regions) in the first and second decorative variation displays from the elapsed times indicated by the first and second variable time timers. The method for confirming the progress status of the preceding fluctuation display is not limited to this step, and is the same in other steps.

  When there are a plurality of effective lines having the largest number of variable areas stopped by the preceding variable display at the time of determining the selection of the effective lines in the first part, the order of (a) to (f) in FIG. (1) The priority line is set (the effective line in FIG. 8A has the highest priority, and the effective line in FIG. 8F has the lowest priority). Thus, an effective line having a high priority is selected and determined as the first part variation display line. However, when the first variation display line determined by such a selection determination method is the same effective line as the big hit line or reach line of the preceding variation display, the number of variation areas stopped in the preceding variation display is In the case where there are a plurality of the most effective lines, the effective line with the next highest priority is selected and determined as the first part variation display line. In the case where there is only one active line with the largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display, the effective line with the next largest number of variable areas is selected as the first variation display line. It is determined. When there are a plurality of active lines with the next largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display at the time of selection determination, the priority is based on the priorities shown in FIGS. One effective line is selected and determined as the first part variation display line.

  Furthermore, when the first part variation display line determined by such a selection determination method includes a variation area corresponding to the big hit line or reach line of the preceding variation display, it is based on the same priority order as the above-described priority order. The effective line that does not include such a fluctuation region is selected and determined as the first part fluctuation display line. In addition, the effective line determined in S236 is an effective line for specifying the fluctuation area including the hold area when the hold area is stored and held by the above-described symbol hold control.

  When the first part variation display line is determined, the first part assignment flag is set (S237), and the process proceeds to S244. As a result, when there is a second decorative variation display that is started during execution of the first decorative variation display in which the first partial variation display line is selected and determined in S236 and the variable display is started from now on, the first partial allocation flag is set. By being set, the second variation area is assigned to the second decoration variation display. The first part allocation flag is a special symbol deviation stop process (first special flag process in the special symbol process which is performing the process process of the variable display when the variable display started by setting the first part allocation flag is finished. In the case of the symbol process, the first special symbol losing stop process in S144, in the case of the second special symbol process, the second special symbol losing stop process in S344) or the special symbol big hit stopping process (in the case of the first special symbol process) Is reset in the first special symbol jackpot stop process in S145, and in the case of the second special symbol process, the second special symbol jackpot stop process in S345). Therefore, when there is a second decorative variation display that starts after the first decorative variation display from which the variable display is started, the second decorative variation display is assigned to the variation area of the first part. Become.

  If it is determined in S235 that the first part allocation flag has been set, an effective line that is used as a second part of the change area is added with a change display according to the preceding change display currently being executed. The second part additional fluctuation display line is determined (set), and data indicating the determined second part additional fluctuation display line is stored in the RAM 85 (S238). As described above, when determining (setting) the second part additional variation display line, the effective lines increase in the decoration variation region.

  In S238, specifically, the second part additional variation display line is determined as follows. For example, as shown in (a) to (f) of FIG. 8, there are effective lines for specifying six variable regions other than the variable region in which the first variation display line on which the leading variable display is performed is set. The second part additional fluctuation display line which is the effective line as the second part fluctuation area is determined. When the hold area is stored and held by the symbol hold control as described above, the effective line determined in S238 is an effective line for specifying the fluctuation area including the hold area.

  In S244, based on the data of the second reserved memory number stored in the second reserved memory number storage area, it is determined whether or not the next second decoration variation display is scheduled to be executed. When it is determined that there is no plan to execute the next second decoration variation display, the process proceeds to S247 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the next second decorative variation display is scheduled to be executed, it is determined whether or not there is a decorative pattern (variable region) that is stopped in the preceding variation display that is currently being executed (S245). As described above, whether or not there is a decorative symbol that is stopped in the preceding variation display currently being executed can be confirmed based on the progress of the variation pattern of the preceding variation display. That is, for each variation pattern of the first and second decoration variation display, the progress of the variation display is determined in advance according to the elapsed time from the start of the variation display, and the first and second variation time timers. From the elapsed time indicated by, it is possible to confirm the stop status of the decorative symbol (variable region) in the first and second decorative variation displays. Therefore, in S245, based on the variation pattern of the leading variation display currently being executed and the value of the second variation time timer, the progress status of the variation display is confirmed, and the decoration stopped in the leading variation display currently being executed. It is determined whether or not there is a design (variable region).

  If it is determined in S245 that there is no decorative symbol that is stopped in the preceding variation display currently being executed, the process proceeds to S247 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined in S245 that there is a decorative symbol that is stopped in the leading variation display that is currently being executed, the decorative symbol is displayed in the leading variation display that is currently being executed in order to perform symbol hold control as shown in FIG. Is selected as a hold area, and display data for the hold area is stored in the hold data storage area of the RAM 85, thereby setting the hold area (S246). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S247. Specifically, in S246, the variable region as the hold region is selected at random with all the variable regions where the decorative symbols are stopped as the selection targets. More specifically, the value of a random counter RC11 for effect determination is extracted. The correspondence between the value of RC11 and the selected variation area is determined in advance in a data table (stored in the ROM 84) provided for each combination of variation areas to be selected. In the data table, data is set so that at least one and at most all the variable regions are selected as hold regions. Then, using a data table corresponding to the combination of variable areas to be selected, at least one variable area corresponding to the extracted value of RC11 is selected as the hold area. As a result, at least one hold area is selected and determined from the variable areas to be selected.

  In S247, it is determined whether or not it is determined to be the first big hit by determining whether or not the first big hit display result flag is set. When it is determined in S247 that it has not been determined that the first big hit will be made, the process proceeds to S253 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined in S247 that the first big hit is determined, the big hit line is determined (S248). Specifically, the jackpot line is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the first variation region, the effective line corresponding to the first variation region is determined as the big hit line. On the other hand, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the second region variation area, the effective line excluding the effective line L1 corresponding to the first region variation area from the first effective line L1 to the eighth effective line L8. Any one of the effective lines is selected at random, and the selected effective line is determined as a big hit line. When the big hit line is selected and determined from a plurality of big hit lines, the value of the random counter RC10 for determining the effective line is extracted. The correspondence between the value of RC10 and the selected effective line is predetermined in a data table (stored in the ROM 84) provided for each number of effective lines to be selected. Then, using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected, one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random.

  Next, the data indicating the big hit line determined in S248 is stored in the first big hit line storage area of the RAM 85 (S249). Then, by determining whether or not the first probability variation big hit display result flag is set, it is judged whether or not the probability variation big hit is reached (S250).

  When it is determined in S250 that the probability variation jackpot is not reached, the display result of the normal jackpot display result is randomly determined as the display result of the first decoration variation display, and the data indicating the display result is used as the first ornament variation display result of the RAM 85. Store in the storage area (S251) and return.

  Specifically, in S251, the display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the variation area of the first part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and among the extracted values, the first part variation display determined as described above. For the variable area corresponding to the line, select the extracted value of one random counter that is normally used for determining the jackpot display result from the random counters corresponding to the variable area, and based on the extracted value, the fluctuation of the first part As a display result of the area, a combination of normal jackpot symbols is randomly selected and determined. However, when the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter becomes a probabilistic big hit symbol, the display result is forced to be a combination of the normal big hit symbol by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter. Will be corrected.

  Further, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the variation area of the second part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the variation areas corresponding to the jackpot line determined as described above are those Of the random counters corresponding to the fluctuation area, the extraction value of one random counter used for determining the normal jackpot display result is selected, and based on the extracted value, the display result of the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line is used as the normal jackpot symbol The combination is randomly selected and determined. However, when the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter becomes a probabilistic big hit symbol, the display result is forced to be a combination of the normal big hit symbol by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter. Will be corrected. Thus, when determining the combination of the normal jackpot symbol, when the big hit line overlaps with a part of the fluctuation area of the first part, the overlapping fluctuation area is related to the fluctuation display of the fluctuation area of the second part. As a display result of the variable display to be performed, the display result is newly determined so as to constitute a combination of normal jackpot symbols. And for the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters corresponding to those fluctuation areas are extracted, respectively, and the display result is randomly selected based on the extracted values so as to be the off-line display result. To decide. In that case, the type of symbol as a display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the big hit display result does not occur in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Specifically, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S250 that the probability variation jackpot is reached, the display result that is the probability variation jackpot display result is determined, and the data indicating the display result is stored in the first decoration variation display result storage area of the RAM 85 (S252). To do.

  Specifically, in S252, the display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decorative variation display is allocated to the first variation region, the variation region corresponding to the first variation display line determined as described above is displayed as the first variation region display result. Then, a predetermined probability variation big hit symbol combination (777) is determined.

  When the first decoration variation display is allocated to the second region variation region, the variation region corresponding to the jackpot line determined as described above is determined in advance as the first region variation region display result. The probability variation big hit symbol combination (777) is determined. In that case, when the big hit line overlaps with a part of the fluctuation area of the first part, the overlapping fluctuation area is newly displayed as a display result of the fluctuation display related to the fluctuation display of the fluctuation area of the second part. The result is determined to constitute a combination of probable big hit symbols. For example, when the big hit line overlaps with a part of the fluctuation area of the first part, if symbols other than the probable big hit symbol are stopped and displayed in the overlapping fluctuation area, the symbols are variably displayed again in the fluctuation area. Control is performed to stop and display the probability variation big hit symbol determined in this way. And about the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, respectively, and the display result is determined at random based on the extracted values of the random counter corresponding to those fluctuation areas. . In that case, the type of symbol as the display result is appropriately selected so that the big hit display result does not occur in the effective lines other than the big hit line in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. It is adjusted (corrected). For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Specifically, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  If it is determined in S247 that the first big hit is not determined, it is determined whether or not the notice effect flag is set (S253). When it is determined in S253 that the notice effect flag is not set, the display result of the first decoration variation display is determined so as not to give the notice effect, and the display result is determined at random. Is stored in the first decoration variation display result storage area of the RAM 85 (S254), and the process returns.

  Specifically, in S254, the display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the variation region of the first part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and among the extracted values, the first part variation display determined as described above. For the variable areas corresponding to the lines, the combination of the outlier symbols is randomly selected and determined as the display result of the first variable area based on the extracted values of the random counters corresponding to the variable areas. In that case, the type of symbol as the display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the jackpot display result does not occur in the variable area of the first part, and the relation with each of the variable areas of the second part. The type of symbol used as the display result is adjusted (corrected) as appropriate so that the big hit display result does not occur. For example, when determining the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs on a certain effective line, the random symbol that determines the stop symbol of the variable region that causes the combination of the big hit symbols The symbols are adjusted so that the display result is forcibly removed and a combination of symbols is added by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the counter. Further, when determining the deviation display result in this way, if a fluctuation pattern to be reached is designated by the fluctuation pattern command, the fluctuation area of the first part constitutes a reach line, and the reach state is reached in the reach line. In such a manner, a combination of outliers including a reach symbol is selected and determined. The reach symbol at that time is determined so as to match based on the extracted value of the stop symbol determining random counter corresponding to one of the variable regions at both ends of the reach line. When a variation pattern to be out of reach is specified by the variation pattern command, not only is the reach line formed by the first variation region, but the relationship between the first variation region and the second variation region. You may make it determine a stop symbol so that a reach line may be comprised in fluctuation areas other than a fluctuation area.

  Further, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation region of the second part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and based on those extracted values, the display result of the variation region of the first part is disregarded. A combination of symbols is selected and determined at random. In that case, the type of symbol as the display result is adjusted (corrected) as appropriate so that the jackpot display result does not occur in the variable region of the second part, and the relationship with each of the variable regions of the first part The type of symbol used as the display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the jackpot display result does not occur. For example, when determining the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs on a certain effective line, the random symbol that determines the stop symbol of the variable region that causes the combination of the big hit symbols The symbols are adjusted so that the display result is forcibly removed and a combination of symbols is added by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the counter. Further, when determining the deviation display result in this way, if a fluctuation pattern to be reached is designated by the fluctuation pattern command, the deviation including the reach pattern is set so that the reach state is reached in the fluctuation area of the second part. A combination of symbols is selected and determined. As such, when selecting and determining a combination of outlier symbols including a reach symbol, the value of the random counter RC10 for determining the effective line is extracted and the effective value corresponding to the extracted value is extracted as in the case of determining the jackpot line described above. Determine line as reach line. Thereby, the reach line is selected and determined at random. Then, a combination of outlier symbols including a reach symbol is selected and determined so as to reach a reach state in the fluctuation region corresponding to the reach line determined as described above. The reach symbol at that time is determined so as to match based on the extracted value of the stop symbol determining random counter corresponding to one of the variable regions at both ends of the reach line. Thus, when selecting and deciding a combination of outlier designs including a reach design, if the reach line overlaps with a part of the variation region of the first part, the overlapping variation region is the same as that of the variation region of the second part. As a display result of the variable display related to the variable display, the display result is newly determined to constitute a combination of reach symbols. For example, when the reach line overlaps with a part of the fluctuation area of the first part and the symbols other than the reach symbols are stopped and displayed in the overlapping fluctuation area, the control is made to change and display the symbols again in the fluctuation area. And control to stop and display the reach symbol determined in this way.

  When it is determined in S253 that the notice effect flag is set, data indicating the display result is determined at random by selecting a display error result that is configured to give a notice effect as the display result of the first decoration variation display. Is stored in the first decoration variation display result storage area of the RAM 85 (S255).

  Specifically, the notice effect is an effect that increases the reach line, and the reach line that is increased for the notice effect is determined as follows. For example, when the first decorative variation display is allocated to the first variation region, the second variation region to which the current leading variation display is allocated and the first decorative variation display is newly executed. One effective line is selected and determined as the reach line to be increased from among the effective lines configured by the combination with a part of the fluctuation region. In addition, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the variation area of the second part, the first area variation area where the preceding variation display being executed is allocated and the first decoration variation display is newly performed. An effective line constituted by a combination of two parts of the fluctuation region is set as an effective line to be increased, and one effective line is selected and determined as a reach line to be increased. When determining the reach line to be increased, the value of the random counter RC10 for determining the effective line is extracted, and basically, the effective line corresponding to the extracted value of the RC 10 in the correspondence relationship as described above is used as the reach line to be increased. decide. However, when the effective line corresponding to the extracted value of RC10 does not correspond to the increase effective line, the reach line to be increased corresponds to the increase effective line according to the priority order determined in the order of the effective lines L1 to L8. Adjust so that For example, when the first effective line L1 does not correspond to the increase effective line and the second effective line L2 corresponds to the increase effective line, the effective line corresponding to the extracted value of RC10 is the first effective line. When L1, the second effective line L2 having the second highest priority after the first effective line L1 is determined as the reach line to be increased.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the preceding fluctuation display currently being executed is in a stage before the notice effect execution reference point as described above (S256). Whether or not the preceding variation display currently being executed is in a stage before the notice effect execution reference point can be confirmed based on the progress of the variation pattern of the preceding variation display. In other words, as described above, for each variation pattern of the first and second decoration variation display, the progress of the variation display is determined in advance according to the elapsed time since the start of the variation display, and the announcement effect is executed. Points are predetermined. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the stop status of the decorative symbols (variable regions) in the first and second decorative variation displays from the elapsed times indicated by the first and second variable time timers. Therefore, in S256, the progress status of the fluctuation display is confirmed based on the fluctuation pattern of the preceding fluctuation display currently being executed and the value of the second fluctuation time timer. Determine if it is an earlier stage.

  When it is determined in S256 that the stage is before the notice effect execution reference point, the start of the notice effect is determined to be the same timing (synchronized) as the notice effect execution reference point of the preceding variation display currently being executed. Then, the data at the start of the determined notice effect is stored in the RAM 85 (S257). Specifically, in S257, the progress status of the leading variation display currently being executed is confirmed, and the timing that becomes the notice effect execution reference point of the leading variation display currently being executed is the start of the first decoration variation display to be executed from now on. The number of seconds after the timing is calculated, and the calculated timing is stored as data at the start of the notice effect. Then, an effect timing adjustment flag indicating that the start time of the notice effect is adjusted to the notice effect execution reference point is set, and the process returns (S258). On the other hand, when it is determined in S256 that it is not the stage before the notice effect execution reference point, the start time of the notice effect is determined as the notice effect execution reference point for the first decoration change display, and the start of the decided notice effect is started. Is stored in the RAM 85 (S259), and the process returns.

  Next, the first effect control process according to S206 in FIG. 22 and the second effect control process according to S207 in FIG. 22 will be described. The processing contents of the first effect control process and the second effect control process are such that the first effect control process performs processing for the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display. However, the processing contents for controlling the decoration variation display to be processed are the same, although the processing is performed on the second decoration variation display and the second special decoration variation display. For this reason, here, the first effect control process will be described as a representative example of these effect control process, and the description of the process details of the second effect control process will not be repeated. In addition, the processing content of the 1st effect control process demonstrated below is processing object called the 1st decoration fluctuation display and the 1st special decoration fluctuation display in the 1st effect control process process in the 2nd decoration fluctuation display and the 2nd special The second effect control process is performed by replacing the data such as various flags used in the second effect control process and the data such as various flags used in the second effect control process. It becomes processing contents.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the first effect control process according to S206 of FIG. In the first effect control process, one of S301 to S306 is executed according to the value of the first effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  First variation pattern command reception waiting process (S301): It is confirmed whether or not the first variation pattern command has been received, and when it is confirmed that the first variation pattern command has been received, the value of the first effect control process flag Is updated to a value according to S302.

  First design variation start process (S302): The first variation variation display and the first special ornament variation display are performed in the decoration variation display device 90 based on data such as setting data for the first variation variation display by the first decoration variation setting process. The first variation display including is started. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S303. The contents of the first symbol variation start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  First symbol variation processing (S303): The switching timing of each variation state (variation speed, etc.) constituting the variation pattern of the first variation variation display and the first special variation variation display executed in the variation variation display device 90 is performed. While controlling, the end of the set fluctuation time is monitored. Then, when the set variation time ends, a process for stopping the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display is performed. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S304. The contents of the first symbol variation processing will be described later with reference to FIG. In the case of this embodiment, when the first decoration variation display is completed, the second decoration variation display is not being executed (the second variation time timer is counting), and the first pending storage data and the first 2 Check whether there is neither pending storage data, and when it is in such a state, if the first and second variable areas are displayed, the first part changes After erasing the region and the variation region of the second part, as an initial state, control is performed to display only the variation region of the first part corresponding to the above-described initial setting variation display line.

  First symbol stop waiting process (S304): If a command (first symbol stop command) for instructing stop of all symbols of the first symbol is received after the variation time specified by the first variation pattern command has elapsed, the ornament variation Control is performed so that the first decoration variation display and the first special decoration variation display on the display device 90 are stopped and the respective display results are derived and displayed. Thereafter, when the display results of the first decoration variation display and the first special decoration variation display on the decoration variation display device 90 become the jackpot display result, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S305. When the display results of the first decoration variation display and the first special decoration variation display on the decoration variation display device 90 become the display result of the deviation, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S301.

  First jackpot display process (S305): After the end of the variation time of the first decoration variation display and the first special ornament variation display on the decoration variation display device 90, a display notifying that a big hit has been made is performed. Specifically, in response to the reception of the first jackpot start command, a display for notifying that a jackpot has been made is performed. Thereafter, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S306.

  First big hit game processing (S306): Control for displaying a big hit game state is performed. For example, at the start of the jackpot gaming state, an image display indicating that the jackpot gaming state is started is displayed. At the start of each round, an image display is displayed indicating that the big winning opening is opened, and during each round, a round is displayed. An image showing the number is displayed. Thereafter, when the big hit gaming state is finished, an image is displayed when the big hit gaming state is finished, and the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S301. In the case of this embodiment, when the first big hit gaming state is finished, the second decoration variation display is not being executed (the second variation time timer is not counting), and the first pending storage data and the first 2 Check whether there is neither reserved data, and if it is in such a state, as an initial state, control is performed to display only the first variation region corresponding to the aforementioned initial variation display line. Do.

  Next, the first symbol variation start process by 302 in FIG. 25 will be described. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the first symbol variation start process (S302) of FIG. In the first symbol variation start process, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  First, display data used to display a variation in a variation pattern designated by the received variation pattern command is selected from the display data stored in the ROM 84 corresponding to each variation pattern command (S260). . In the display data selected in S260, various data for realizing various settings such as the notice effect determined in the above-described first decoration variation setting process is set in the display data selected in S260 by the following processing.

  Next, based on determining whether or not the notice effect flag is set, it is determined whether or not the notice effect is executed for the first decoration variation display executed this time (S261). When it is determined that the notice effect is not executed, in the display data selected in S260, the reserved memory decrease display timing, which is the timing for displaying the number of reserved memories, is changed to the start timing of the variable display of the first decoration variable display. Is performed (S261a), and the process proceeds to S267 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the notice effect is to be executed, processing for setting the notice effect execution start timing in the display data selected in S260 is performed (S262). Specifically, in S262, a process for setting the data at the start of the notice effect stored in S257 or S259 described above as display data is performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not an effect timing adjustment flag that can be set in S258 is set (S263). When it is determined that the effect timing adjustment flag is not set, the hold memory decrease display timing, which is a display timing for reducing the hold memory number, is changed in the display data selected in S260. Processing for setting the display start timing is performed (S264), and the process proceeds to S267 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the effect timing adjustment flag is set, the hold memory decrease display timing is set to the current display in the display data selected in S260 based on the data at the start of the notice effect stored in S259. A process for setting the timing to become the notice effect execution reference point in the second decoration variation display being executed is performed (S265). Then, the set production timing adjustment flag is reset (S266), and the process proceeds to S267.

  In S267, in the display data selected in S260, in addition to the notice effect execution start timing and the hold memory decrease display timing set as described above, the first decoration of this time determined in the first decoration variation setting process described above. The variation area used in the variation display and the stop symbol data of each variation region, and the first special decoration variation display stop symbol to be varied (the stop symbol indicated by the stop symbol information stored in response to the received stop symbol information command) ) And other various data settings necessary for executing the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display on the ornament variation display device 90. For example, when the symbol hold control is performed, the variation region including the variation region for stopping and displaying the hold symbol stored in S246 in FIG. 24 is set as the variation region used in the first decoration variation display this time, and the symbol hold Data is set so as to set the stored hold symbol as the stop symbol for the controlled variable region.

  Then, a first variation time timer for measuring the variation display time of the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display is set to the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern to be executed, and the first ornament variation display and Time measurement of the variation display time of the first special decoration variation display is started (S268). Further, the first variation display including the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display is started in the ornament variation display device 90 with the variation pattern in which the setting of various data in S261 to S267 is completed (S269). Then, the first effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the first symbol variation processing (S303) (S270), and the process returns.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the first symbol variation processing (S303) of FIG. In the first symbol variation processing, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following processing.

  First, it is determined whether or not the first variation time timer is the hold memory decrease display timing set in S264 and S265 (S281). When it is determined that it is the reserved memory decrease display timing, the reserved memory number is reduced based on the data indicating the total reserved memory number stored in S226 for the reserved memory number displayed on the reserved memory number display unit 110. Update display is performed (S282), and the process proceeds to S283. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not the hold memory decrease display timing, the process proceeds to S283 without displaying the update of the hold memory number. As a result, when the notice effect is not performed, the hold memory decrease display timing is set to the start timing of the variation display of the first decoration variation display, and therefore based on the data indicating the total number of reserved memories stored in S226. When the first decoration variation display is started, a display for reducing the number of reserved memories is displayed. Also, when the notice effect is performed, if the hold memory decrease display timing is set to the start timing of the variable display of the first decoration variable display, the first display based on the data indicating the total number of reserved memories stored in S226. At the start of the one-decoration variation display, a display for reducing the number of reserved memories is performed. On the other hand, if the reserved memory decrease display timing is set as the advance notice display execution reference point for the preceding variation display when the notice effect is performed, the number of reserved memories is reduced at the timing of the advance effect display reference effect execution reference point. Display is performed.

  In S283, it is confirmed whether or not the first fluctuation interruption flag is set. If the first fluctuation interruption flag is not set, it is confirmed whether or not the first interruption command is received (S287). Here, the variation interruption flag is a flag indicating that the decorative symbol variation display is suspended in accordance with the above-described special symbol variation display suspension. Further, the interruption command includes a first interruption command for instructing interruption of the first decoration variation display and a second interruption command for instructing interruption of the second decoration variation display.

  If the first interruption command is received in S287, the first fluctuation interruption flag is set (S288). In the decoration fluctuation display device 90, the first decoration fluctuation display and the first special decoration fluctuation display as shown in FIG. Is displayed (S289), and the process returns. In this variation interruption display, the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display are temporarily stopped by the display result of losing, whereby the variation display of the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display is suspended. Such variation interruption display is also a display that means that the update of the timer for measuring the variation time in the decoration variation display and the special decoration variation display for which the variation suspension display is performed is suspended.

  If the first fluctuation interruption flag is set in S283, it is confirmed whether or not a first restart command has been received (S284). If the first restart command is received in S284, the first change interruption flag is reset (S285), and the change restart display for restarting the first decoration change display and the first special decoration change display as shown in FIG. (S286), the process proceeds to S290. If the first restart command has not been received in S284, the process returns. If the first interruption command has not been received in S287 described above, the process proceeds to S290.

  In S290, the first variation timer described above and the first process timer used for managing display control in the first variation processing are updated. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the first process timer has timed out (S291), and if it has timed out, the effect control execution data is switched (S292). In this embodiment, process data indicating respective variation modes of the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display, and the second ornament variation display and the second special ornament variation display are provided for each variation pattern. Yes (remembered). The process data is composed of data obtained by collecting a plurality of combinations of process timers and presentation control execution data (display data). The display control microcomputer 800 responds to the received variation pattern command as display data of the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display, and the second ornament variation display and the second special ornament variation display. Control that selects process data and executes the decoration variation display and the special decoration variation display in the variation mode set in the presentation control execution data for the time set in the corresponding process timer with reference to the process data To do. The first process timer is used as a process timer for controlling the first decoration change display and the first special decoration change display, and the second process is used as a process timer for controlling the second decoration change display and the first special decoration change display. Use a timer.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the first variation time timer has timed out (S293). If the first variable time timer has not timed out, the process returns. On the other hand, if the first variation time timer has timed out, the first monitoring timer for monitoring the first ornament variation display and the first special ornament variation display is started (S294), and the first effect control process flag is set to the first symbol. The value is updated to a value corresponding to the stop waiting process (S304) (S295), and the process returns. Here, the first monitoring timer is a timer for monitoring the end timing of the first decoration variation display and the first special decoration variation display, and the first symbol stop command is received before the first monitoring timer expires. When the first monitoring timer is not received by the time when the first monitoring timer expires, the first monitoring timer has timed out. Sometimes, these variable displays are stopped and the display results are derived and displayed.

  With the above processing, when the big hit display result is derived and displayed in the second ornament variation display and the jackpot gaming state is entered, the first variation interruption flag is set based on the reception of the first interruption command, and the ornament variation is changed. In the display device 90, the change interruption display for the first decoration change display and the first special change display is performed. Then, control is performed so as not to execute the processes of S287 to S295 until the first restart command is received. That is, control for interrupting the variation display of the first decoration variation display and the first special variation display is performed.

  As described above, in the embodiment described above, when the jackpot display result is derived and displayed on one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9, the game control When the interruption command is transmitted from the microcomputer 53 to the display control board 80 and the interruption command is received, the decoration variation display device 90 interrupts the decoration variation display and the special variation display corresponding to the other special symbol display. Control is performed. In addition, when the big hit gaming state based on the big hit display result is finished in a state where control for interrupting such variable display is performed, a restart command is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 53 to the display control board 80. Based on the reception of the resume command, the display control microcomputer 800 performs control to resume the suspended change display.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the effective line is changed by changing the number of effective lines when the variable display is performed in the variable area of the second part in addition to the variable area of the first part. It was. In the second embodiment, when the variation display in the second variation region is performed in addition to the first variation region, the effective line is used based on the effective line used in the first variation region. An example in which the effective line is changed by allocating and using a part of the line to the fluctuation region of the second part will be described. In the second embodiment described below, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  FIG. 28 is a display screen diagram showing an example of a decorative pattern variation display in the ornament variation display device 90 according to the second embodiment. About FIG. 28, the same reference number is attached | subjected about the point which is common in FIG. 7 mentioned above, and the overlapping description is not repeated.

  In the state where there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the initial state of the decoration variable region 113 is As the state image, eight predetermined effective lines (see FIG. 4) as shown in FIG. 4A are selected, and nine variable areas 101 to 109 constituting the effective lines are displayed. Such a variation region of the effective line displayed in the initial state is referred to as an initial setting variation display line. When the variable display execution condition is established in either the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9 and the variable display is performed first, first, as shown in FIG. In addition, the variable display is started in the three variable regions 101 to 109 corresponding to the eight effective lines which are predetermined initial setting variable display lines. In the decoration variation region 113, the variation region corresponding to the eight effective lines selected in this way is used as the variation region of the first part.

  After that, as shown in (b), the first special symbol display unit 8 and the first special symbol display 8 are displayed in the state where the decorative symbol has not stopped yet in any variation region in the first variation region where the leading variation display is performed. When the execution condition of the variable display is established on the other of the two special symbol indicators 9 and the next decorative variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variable display, eight effective lines are displayed in the decorative variable region 113. Any one of the effective lines (for example, the three fluctuation areas 107 to 109 corresponding to the effective line L3) is selected, and the fluctuation area corresponding to the effective line is assigned to the fluctuation area of the second part. Fluctuation display is started in the area. The variable region thus selected is assigned and used as the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, as shown in (c), in the state where the decorative symbols have already stopped in some of the variable areas of the first part of the variable areas of the first variable display, the first special symbol indicator 8 and the second special symbol display 9, the variation display execution condition is established, and the next variation variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variation display. Any one effective line (for example, three variable areas 107 to 109 corresponding to the effective line L3) is selected, and the variable area corresponding to the effective line is assigned to the second variable area. Fluctuation display is started. The variable region thus selected is assigned and used as the variable region of the second part.

  When variation display in the variation region of the second part is started, in the decoration variation region 113, one variation among the eight effective lines as shown in FIG. By assigning the line to the fluctuation region of the second part, the number of effective lines changes to two. In this way, when the variation display in the second variation region is performed in addition to the first variation region, a part of the effective line of the first variation region is allocated to the second variation region. Thus, the effective line changes as the number of effective lines in the variable region of the first part changes.

  In a state in which there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the first reserved memory data and When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed based on the generation of the second reserved storage data, the decoration variation area 113 is first of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. Display control is performed in which the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started is assigned to the fluctuation area of the first part and executed, and the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started later is assigned to the fluctuation area of the second part and executed.

  Then, when there is no first hold storage data and second hold storage data for which the change display is started following each of the change displays, a change display based on the generation of new hold storage data is subsequently executed. There is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data as described above, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is in a state where variable display is performed. Similarly, of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the variation display in which the variation display is started first is allocated to the variation area of the first part and executed, and then the variation display is started. Display control is performed to allocate and execute the variable display to the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, when there are first reserved storage data and second reserved storage data for which variable display is started following each of these variable displays, the first decoration variable display and the second display based on the generation of the reserved storage data. When the decoration variation display is executed, a variation display in which the variation display is started first as the decoration variation area 113 (for example, the previous first decoration variation display is preceded by the previous second ornament variation display). When finished, the first decoration change display is assigned to the first part change area and executed, and the change display is started later (for example, the previous first decoration change display is the previous second decoration change). When the display ends before the change display, display control is performed in which the second decoration change display) is assigned to the change area of the second part and executed. In this case, since the variable display in the first part where the variable display is subsequently started has not yet been completed, the nine variable areas 101 as shown in FIG. ... 109 are not selected, and six variable areas other than the variable area selected as the second variable area as shown in (b) and (c), that is, selected as the previous first variable area Six variable regions are selected. Then, the second variable area where the variable display is started is selected as three variable areas other than the variable area selected as the first variable area, that is, as the previous second variable area. The six fluctuation regions thus selected are selected. Then, in the decoration variation area 113, such allocation of the first variation area and the second variation area is repeatedly performed, so that each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is the first. This is performed sequentially in parallel in each of the variable region of the part and the variable region of the second part.

  Further, when there is a plurality of reserved storage data in only one of the first reserved storage data and the second reserved storage data, and the decorative variation display is sequentially performed based on the reserved storage data, the decorative variation region 113 is displayed. Then, display control is performed in which the decoration variation display of the decoration pattern 113 is allocated only to the first part variation area as shown in (a) and the decoration variation display is sequentially executed. In that case, the variation display using the variation region of the second part is not performed.

  Next, the selection pattern of the variable area when the variable display is performed in parallel in the variable area of the first part and the variable area of the second part will be described. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing a selection pattern of the variable area when the variable display is performed in parallel between the first variable area and the second variable area according to the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 29, (a) to (f) show selection patterns for the first and second variable regions. In the selection pattern of (a), the variable areas 107 to 109 corresponding to the third effective line L3 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, so that the remaining variable areas 101 to 106 are changed. It is selected as the first region of variation. In the selection pattern of (b), when the variable areas 101 to 103 corresponding to the second effective line L2 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable areas of the second part, the remaining variable areas 104 to 106, 107 to 109 are selected as the fluctuation region of the first part.

  In the selection pattern of (c), by selecting the variable areas 104 to 106 corresponding to the second effective line L2 as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, the remaining variable areas 101 to 103, 107 to 109 are selected as the fluctuation region of the first part. In the selection pattern of (d), by selecting the variable areas 106, 103, and 109 corresponding to the sixth effective line L6 as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, the remaining variable areas 101, 102, 104, 105, 107, and 108 are selected as the fluctuation regions of the first part.

  In the selection pattern of (e), the variable areas 105, 102, 108 corresponding to the fifth effective line L5 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, and the remaining variable areas 101, 103, 104 are selected. , 106, 107, and 109 are selected as the variable regions of the first part. In the selection pattern of (f), the variable areas 104, 101, 107 corresponding to the fourth effective line L4 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, and the remaining variable areas 102, 103, 105 are selected. , 106, 108, and 109 are selected as the fluctuation regions of the first part.

  As described above, there are a plurality of selection patterns for the first and second variable regions, and when the variable display is performed in the first and second variable regions. The combination is selected and determined from these selection patterns. Basically, in the decoration change area 113 in the decoration change display device 90, the change areas 107, 108, and 109 are selected as the change areas of the second part as shown in FIG. However, at the start of variable display in the second variable region when the variable display is performed in parallel in the first variable region and the second variable region, the variable display is not finished. Based on the stop state of the decorative pattern in the variation area, the variation area corresponding to the active line that has the least influence on the variation display result in the variation area of the first part is selected and executed in the variation area. .

  For example, the influence on the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation area of the first part is that the fluctuation area for which the display result is not yet derived and displayed is included in the fluctuation area of the first part, It is to make the variable display result unclear. More specifically, for example, a part or all of the variable area that is advantageous for the player is included in the second variable area, such as including a part or all of the variable area in which the reach state occurs in the second variable area. Inclusion in the variation region of the part has a great influence on the variation display result in the variation region of the first part, and is basically avoided. However, when such avoidance is not possible, the display result (stop symbol) of the variable region to be avoided is the display result (stop symbol) determined as the variable display result (stop symbol) in the variable region of the first part. To match the design).

  Next, a display example of a notice effect will be described. FIG. 30 is a display screen diagram illustrating a display example of a notice effect performed by the decoration variation display device 90 according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 30, display examples of the notice effect are shown as time elapses in (a) to (c). Specifically, FIG. 30 shows an example in which a notice effect corresponding to a big hit notice is performed for the first decoration change display or the second decoration change display performed in the change area of the first part.

  As shown in (a), after the leading variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the first variation region composed of the nine variation regions 101 to 109, for example, the first variation region corresponding to the first variation region is displayed. The reach state occurs in the six effective lines L6. Then, as shown in (b), the subsequent variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the second variation region constituted by the three variation regions 107 to 109. Then, in the state where the leading fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the first part, as shown in (c), when the trailing fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the second part as a notice effect, Display control is performed so that the advance variation display becomes a more advantageous state for the player. For example, in (c), a leading line is displayed such that the display result of the leading variation display performed in the variation region of the first part is related to the derivation display of the jackpot display result in the decoration variation region 113. Display control is performed so that the variable display becomes a more advantageous state for the player.

  Specifically, in the example of (c), display control is performed in which the decorative pattern that forms the reach state in the change region 109 in the change region of the second part is stopped and the reach state is generated in the fourth effective line L4. (For example, in this example, the display result in the fluctuation region 104 during the fluctuation display is related to whether or not the display result is the jackpot display result in the effective line L4 that is the reach line). As a result, one reach line related to whether or not the display result of the preceding variation display performed in the variation area of the first part is the jackpot display result in the reach line is added. The effective line L6 is changed to two effective lines L4 and L6. In this example, the reach line to be added for the notice effect is selected and determined to be L4. However, the stop symbol of the variable area 101 that has already stopped is changed to be a reach symbol (in this example, “ The “4” symbol is changed to the “1” symbol) to constitute a reach state. For example, when changing the stop symbol of the already changing variable region to be the reach symbol, the control is performed to display the symbol again in the variable region, and control to stop and display the reach symbol. As described above, when the following variation display is performed as the notice effect, display control is performed so that the leading variation display is in a more advantageous state for the player, thereby improving the interest of the player. it can.

  Next, the first decoration variation setting process and the second decoration variation setting process according to the second embodiment will be described. Here, for the same reason as in the first embodiment, the first decoration variation setting process will be described as a representative example. FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing a first decoration variation setting process according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 31, the same reference numerals are assigned to the points common to FIG. 24 described above, and duplicate description will not be repeated.

  In the first decoration variation setting process according to the second embodiment, the processing contents of S236, S238, S248, S251, and S252 in FIG. 24 are mainly different, and these steps are replaced with S236a, S238a, S248a, S251a, and S252a. .

  In S236a, specifically, the first variation display line is determined (set) as follows. For example, when there is no preceding fluctuation display currently being executed, an initial setting fluctuation display line consisting of eight effective lines (see FIG. 4) corresponding to nine fluctuation areas as shown in FIG. It is determined as a part variation display line.

  In addition, when there is a leading fluctuation display in the fluctuation area of the second part currently being executed, it is used in the leading fluctuation display among the effective lines of the first part shown in (a) to (f) of FIG. An effective line constituted by a fluctuation area other than the fluctuation area is selected and determined as the first part fluctuation display line.

  In S238a, the second part assigned fluctuation display line, which is the effective line assigned to the active line and used as the second part fluctuation area, is determined (set) in accordance with the preceding fluctuation display currently being executed, and the determined second part is determined. Data indicating the allocation fluctuation display line is stored in the RAM 85 (S238). Specifically, the second variation display line is determined in the following selection determination order. Of the second part effective lines shown in FIGS. 29A to 29F, the second part is the effective line having the largest number of variable regions stopped by the preceding variable display in the first variable region. The variable display line is selected and determined. When there is a plurality of active lines with the largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display at the time of selection determination, the priority order is set in the order of (a) to (f) in FIG. (The effective line of FIG. 29A has the highest priority, and the effective line of FIG. 29F has the lowest priority.) Based on the data of the second part selection priority, the high priority The line is selected and determined as the second part variation display line. However, when the second part variation display line determined by such a selection determination method is the same effective line as the big hit line or reach line of the preceding variation display, the number of variation areas stopped in the preceding variation display is In the case where there are a plurality of effective lines, the effective line with the next highest priority is selected and determined as the second part variation display line. Also, in the case where there is only one active line with the largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display, the effective line with the next largest number of variable areas stopped is selected as the second part variable display line. It is determined. In addition, when there are a plurality of effective lines with the next largest number of change areas stopped in the preceding change display at the time of selection determination, based on the priorities of FIGS. 29A to 29F described above. One effective line is selected and determined as the second part variation display line.

  Further, when the second part change display line determined by such a selection determination method includes a change area corresponding to the big hit line or reach line of the preceding change display, it is based on the same priority order as the priority order described above. The effective line not including such a fluctuation region is selected and determined as the second part fluctuation display line.

  In S248a, specifically, the big hit line is determined as follows. For example, when the effective line of the first decoration variation display is assigned to the eight first variable regions, any one effective line from the first effective line L1 to the eighth effective line L8 is randomly selected. The selected effective line is determined as a jackpot line. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random. Also, for example, when the effective line of the first decoration variation display is assigned to the two first-part variation areas, any one effective line is randomly selected from the two effective lines, The selected effective line is determined as the big hit line. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above.

  On the other hand, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the second region of variation, the effective line corresponding to the second region of variation is determined as the big hit line.

  In S251a, specifically, the normal jackpot display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation region of the first part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the variation regions corresponding to the jackpot line determined as described above are those Of the random counters corresponding to the fluctuation area, the extraction value of one random counter used for determining the normal jackpot display result is selected, and based on the extracted value, the display result of the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line is used as the normal jackpot symbol The combination is randomly selected and determined. And for the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters corresponding to those fluctuation areas are extracted, respectively, and the display result is randomly selected based on the extracted values so as to be the off-line display result. To decide. In that case, the type of symbol as a display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the big hit display result does not occur in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Specifically, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  Further, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation region of the second part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and among the extracted values, the second part variation display determined as described above. For the variable area corresponding to the line, select the extracted value of one random counter that is normally used to determine the jackpot display result from the random counters corresponding to the variable area, and based on the extracted value, change the second part. As a display result of the area, a combination of normal jackpot symbols is randomly selected and determined.

  In S252a, specifically, the probability variation big hit display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the first region variation region, the variation region corresponding to the big hit line is obtained as a result of the first region variation region display. (777) is determined. And about the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, respectively, and the display result is determined at random based on the extracted values of the random counter corresponding to those fluctuation areas. . In that case, the relationship with the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line (including the relation with the fluctuation area of the second part when the preceding fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the second part) is effective other than the big hit line. The type of symbol used as the display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the jackpot display result does not occur in the line.

  When the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation area of the second part, the probability variation big winning symbol is displayed as the display result of the variation area of the second part for the variation area corresponding to the big hit line determined as described above. Is determined (777).

[Third Embodiment]
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the effective line is changed when the variable display is performed in the second variable region in addition to the first variable region. In the third embodiment, an example will be described in which the variation area is changed by changing the number of the variation areas when variation display is performed in the variation area of the second portion in addition to the variation area of the first portion. . In the third embodiment described below, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  FIG. 32 is a display screen diagram showing an example of a decorative pattern variation display in the ornament variation display apparatus 90 according to the third embodiment. 32, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same points as those in FIG. 7 described above, and the duplicate description will not be repeated.

  In the state where there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the initial state of the decoration variable region 113 is As the state image, one predetermined effective line L1, L2 as shown in (a) is selected, and six variable regions 101 to 106 constituting the effective line are displayed. Such a variation area displayed in the initial state is called an initial setting variation area. When the variable display execution condition is established in either the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9 and the variable display is performed first, first, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the variable display is started in the six variable areas 101 to 106 which are the initial setting variable areas. In the decoration variation region 113, the six variation regions selected in this way are used as the variation region of the first part.

  After that, as shown in (b), the first special symbol display unit 8 and the first special symbol display 8 in the state where the decorative symbols are not stopped in any of the variation regions in the first variation region where the leading variation display is performed. When the execution condition of the variable display is established on the other of the two special symbol indicators 9 and the next decorative variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variable display, the nine variable regions of the decorative variable region 113 are displayed. Among them, a part (two) of fluctuation regions (in this example, the fluctuation regions 107 and 109) of the remaining three fluctuation regions 107 to 109 that are not subjected to the preceding fluctuation display are selected, and these fluctuation regions (107 , 109) appears, and the variable display is started in those variable regions. The variable region thus selected is added and used as the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, as shown in (c), in the state where the decorative symbols have already stopped in some of the variable areas of the first part of the variable areas of the first variable display, the first special symbol indicator 8 and the second special symbol display 9, the variation display execution condition is established, and the next variation variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variation display. Of the nine variable regions, a part (two) of variable regions (in this example, the variable regions 107 and 109) of the remaining three variable regions 107 to 109 that are not subjected to the preceding variable display are selected. Are displayed so that the variable regions (107, 109) appear, and the variable display is started in these variable regions. The variable region thus selected is added and used as the variable region of the second part.

  When the variation display in the variation region of the second part is started, in the decoration variation region 113, the eight variation regions as shown in (b) or (c) from the six variation regions as shown in (a). The number of fluctuation regions changes as the number increases. As described above, when the variable display is performed in the second variable region in addition to the first variable region, the variable region is changed by changing the number of variable regions.

  In a state in which there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the first reserved memory data and When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed based on the generation of the second reserved storage data, the decoration variation area 113 is first of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. Display control is performed in which the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started is assigned to the fluctuation area of the first part and executed, and the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started later is assigned to the fluctuation area of the second part and executed.

  Then, when there is no first hold storage data and second hold storage data for which the change display is started following each of the change displays, a change display based on the generation of new hold storage data is subsequently executed. There is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data as described above, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is in a state where variable display is performed. Similarly, of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the variation display in which the variation display is started first is allocated to the variation area of the first part and executed, and then the variation display is started. Display control is performed to allocate and execute the variable display to the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, when there are first reserved storage data and second reserved storage data for which variable display is started following each of these variable displays, the first decoration variable display and the second display based on the generation of the reserved storage data. When the decoration variation display is executed, a variation display in which the variation display is started first as the decoration variation area 113 (for example, the previous first decoration variation display is preceded by the previous second ornament variation display). When finished, the first decoration change display is assigned to the first part change area and executed, and the change display is started later (for example, the previous first decoration change display is the previous second decoration change). When the display ends before the change display, display control is performed in which the second decoration change display) is assigned to the change area of the second part and executed. Then, in the decoration variation area 113, such allocation of the first variation area and the second variation area is repeatedly performed, so that each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is the first. This is performed sequentially in parallel in each of the variable region of the part and the variable region of the second part.

  Further, when there is a plurality of reserved storage data in only one of the first reserved storage data and the second reserved storage data, and the decorative variation display is sequentially performed based on the reserved storage data, the decorative variation region 113 is displayed. Then, display control is performed in which the decoration variation display of the decoration pattern 113 is allocated only to the first part variation area as shown in (a) and the decoration variation display is sequentially executed. In that case, the variation display using the variation region of the second part is not performed.

  Next, the selection pattern of the variable area when the variable display is performed in parallel in the variable area of the first part and the variable area of the second part will be described. FIG. 33 is a diagram showing a selection pattern of the variable area when the variable display is performed in parallel between the first variable area and the second variable area according to the third embodiment.

  In FIG. 33, (a) to (c) show selection patterns for the first and second variable regions. In the selection pattern of (a), the variable areas 101 to 106 are selected as the first variable area, and the variable areas 107 and 109 are selected as the second variable area. In this case, two effective lines L1 and L2 (hereinafter, refer to FIG. 4 for the positions of the effective lines) are set for the variation area of the first part, and four effective lines are set for the variation area of the second part. L4, L6 to L8 are set. In the selection pattern of (b), the variable areas 101 to 106 are set as the first variable area, and the variable areas 107 and 108 are set as the second variable area. In this case, two effective lines L1 and L2 are set for the first variation region, and four effective lines L4, L5 and L8 are set for the second variation region. In the selection pattern of (c), the variable areas 101 to 106 are selected as the first variable area, and the variable areas 108 and 109 are selected as the second variable area. In this case, two effective lines L1 and L2 are set for the first region of variation, and three effective lines L5 to L7 are set for the second region of variation.

  As described above, there are a plurality of selection patterns for the first and second variable regions, and when the variable display is performed in the first and second variable regions. The combination is selected and determined from these selection patterns. Basically, in the decoration change area 113 in the decoration change display device 90, the change areas 107 and 109 are selected as the change areas of the second part as shown in FIG. However, at the start of the variable display in the second variable region when the variable display is performed in parallel in the first variable region and the second variable region, the variable display is not finished. Based on the stop state of the decorative pattern in the variation region, the variation region corresponding to the active line that has the least influence on the variation display result in the variation region of the first part is selected and executed in the variation region. .

  For example, the influence on the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation area of the first part is that the fluctuation area for which the display result is not yet derived and displayed is included in the fluctuation area of the first part, It is to make the variable display result unclear. More specifically, for example, a part or all of the variable area that is advantageous for the player is included in the second variable area, such as including a part or all of the variable area in which the reach state occurs in the second variable area. Inclusion in the variation region of the part has a great influence on the variation display result in the variation region of the first part, and is basically avoided. However, when such avoidance is not possible, the display result (stop symbol) of the variable region to be avoided is the display result (stop symbol) determined as the variable display result (stop symbol) in the variable region of the first part. To match the design).

  FIG. 33 shows an example in which six variable regions are allocated to the variable region of the first part. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of areas to be allocated to the variable area of the first part may be randomly selected from a plurality of types of predetermined areas. In S236b to be described later, the number of areas to be allocated to the variable area of the first part may be selected and determined. FIG. 33 shows an example in which two variable regions are assigned to the variable region of the second part. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of areas to be allocated to the variable area of the second part may be randomly selected from a plurality of types of predetermined areas. In S238b to be described later, the number of areas to be allocated to the variable area of the second part may be selected and determined.

  Next, a display example of a notice effect will be described. FIG. 34 is a display screen diagram showing a display example of the notice effect produced by the decoration variation display device 90 according to the third embodiment. In FIG. 34, display examples of the notice effect are shown as time elapses in (a) to (c). Specifically, FIG. 34 shows an example in which a notice effect corresponding to a big hit notice is performed for the first decoration change display or the second decoration change display performed in the change area of the first part.

  As shown in (a), after the leading variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the first variation region constituted by the six variable regions 101 to 106, the decorative symbol is stopped in a part of the variation region. Yes. In this example, the reach state has not occurred. Then, as shown in (b), the trailing variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the second variation region constituted by the two variation regions 107 and 109. Then, in the state where the leading fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the first part, as shown in (c), when the trailing fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the second part as a notice effect, Display control is performed so that the advance variation display becomes a more advantageous state for the player. For example, in (c), a leading line is displayed such that the display result of the leading variation display performed in the variation region of the first part is related to the derivation display of the jackpot display result in the decoration variation region 113. Display control is performed so that the variable display becomes a more advantageous state for the player.

  Specifically, in the example of (c), display control is performed in which the decorative pattern that forms the reach state in the change region 107 in the change region of the second part is stopped and the reach state is generated in the eighth effective line L8. (For example, in this example, the display result in the variable region 102 during the variable display is related to whether or not the display result is the jackpot display result in the effective line L8 that is the reach line). As a result, the reach line related to whether or not the display result of the leading fluctuation display performed in the fluctuation area of the first part is the jackpot display result in the reach line is changed from 0 to one effective line. It changes by being increased. As described above, when the follow-up variation display is performed as the notice effect, display control is performed so that the preceding variation display is in a more advantageous state for the player, thereby improving the interest of the player. it can.

  Next, the symbol hold control performed in the decorative symbol variation display in the ornament variation display device 90 will be described. FIG. 35 is a diagram showing a fluctuation region in order to explain symbol hold control according to the third embodiment. In FIG. 35, (a) to (e) show examples of symbol hold control processing over time.

  As shown in (a), in the decoration change area 113, after the preceding change display of the decoration design is started in the first change area, as shown in (b), the decoration design is displayed in the second change area. The following fluctuation display is started. Then, after the preceding variation display in the first variation region is finished, the variation display performed in the first variation region (for example, the stop symbol of the variation regions 101 to 106 in this example) is started next. Then, when the subsequent variation display performed in the second variation region is scheduled to be executed by the next storage of the second decoration variation display, at the start of the first variation region, (c) As shown in Fig. 4, in the variation region where the display result is derived and displayed this time, a part of the variation region where the symbol is stopped (for example, in this example, among the variation regions of the first part and the second part, the symbol The display data is stored and held in the hold data storage area of the RAM 85 for some of the variable areas 107 that are stopped.

  Then, following the preceding variation display performed in the first variation region, when the subsequent variation display performed in the second variation region is started as shown in FIG. The display data stored and held in is used for subsequent fluctuation display. Thus, the subsequent fluctuation display performed in the fluctuation area of the second part is executed in the fluctuation area including the fluctuation area in which the display data is stored and held. In the subsequent variation display performed in the variation region of the second part as described above, the variation region in which the display data of the variation region of the second part is stored and held is based on the stored display data ( A stop symbol is derived and displayed as shown in e).

  The hold area selected by the symbol hold control is not limited to the variable area where the symbols are stopped in the second variable area as shown in FIG. You may make it select the fluctuation | variation area | region where the symbol has stopped in the two-part fluctuation | variation area | region. For example, when the hold area is selected as described above, the variable area is displayed using the hold areas 101 to 103 and the variable areas 107 and 109 of the second part.

  Next, the first decoration variation setting process and the second decoration variation display according to the third embodiment will be described. Here, for the same reason as in the case of the first embodiment, the first decoration variation setting process will be described as a representative example. FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a first decoration variation setting process according to the third embodiment. 36, the same reference numerals are assigned to the points common to FIG. 24 described above, and the duplicate description will not be repeated.

  In the first decoration variation setting process according to the third embodiment, the processing contents of S236, S238, S248, S251, and S252 in FIG. 24 are mainly different, and these steps are replaced with S236b, S238b, S248b, S251b, and S252b. .

  In S236b, six variable regions as shown in FIG. 32A are determined (set) as the first variable region, and data indicating the determined first variable region is stored in the RAM 85. Here, an example is shown in which the variable region of the first part is fixedly defined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable region of the first part is like the variable region of the first part shown in FIG. In such a manner, the variable region of the second part can be selected from a plurality of types, and the selected variable region is associated with each type of variable region of the first part to be selected. Alternatively, the type of the variable area of the first part may be selected and determined each time the variable display in the variable area of the first part is performed.

  In S238b, a second part additional fluctuation area, which is a second part fluctuation area that is added with a fluctuation display, is determined (set) in accordance with the preceding fluctuation display currently being executed, and the determined second part additional fluctuation area is determined. Is stored in the RAM 85 (S238). Thus, when determining (setting) the second part additional variation area, the variation area increases in the decoration variation area. Specifically, the second part additional variation area is determined in the following selection determination order. 33 (a) to 33 (c), it relates to the active line with the largest number of variable areas stopped by the preceding variable display in the first variable area. The combination of the fluctuation areas is selected and determined as the second part additional fluctuation area. When there are a plurality of active lines with the largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display at the time of selection decision, the priority order is set in the order of (a) to (c) in FIG. (The fluctuation region in FIG. 33 (a) has the highest priority, and the fluctuation region in FIG. 33 (c) has the lowest priority.) Based on the data of the second part selection priority, the priority is high. The line is selected and determined as the fluctuation region of the second part.

  In this embodiment, an example in which a plurality of variable regions are selectively used as the variable region of the second part has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of fixed variable regions may be used as the variable region of the second part. Further, as the variable region of the second part, one variable region may be selected and used from a plurality of predetermined variable regions, or one predetermined variable region may be used fixedly. Also good. The effective line determined in S238b is an effective line for specifying the fluctuation area including the hold area when the hold area is stored and held by the symbol hold control as described above.

  In S248b, specifically, the big hit line is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation area of the first part, any one effective line is randomly selected from the first effective line L1 and the second effective line L2, and the selected one is selected. The effective line is determined as the big hit line. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random.

  On the other hand, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the second region variation region, by adding the second region variation region as described above according to the selected combination of the second region variation regions. Any one effective line is randomly selected from a plurality of generated effective lines, and the selected effective line is determined as a jackpot line. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random.

  In S251b, specifically, the normal jackpot display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation region of the first part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the variation regions corresponding to the jackpot line determined as described above are those Of the random counters corresponding to the fluctuation area, the extraction value of one random counter used for determining the normal jackpot display result is selected, and based on the extracted value, the display result of the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line is used as the normal jackpot symbol The combination is randomly selected and determined. And for the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters corresponding to those fluctuation areas are extracted, respectively, and the display results are randomly selected based on the extracted values so as to be the off-line display results. To decide. In that case, the type of symbol as a display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the big hit display result does not occur in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  When the first decoration change display is assigned to the change area of the second part, the normal jackpot display result is determined as follows. About the stop symbol of the fluctuation | variation area | region of the 2nd part corresponding to a jackpot line, it determines as follows. First, with regard to the fluctuation area of the first part (two fluctuation areas) corresponding to the big hit line, the symbols that are already stopped, including those that have not been stopped, are symbols other than the probability variation symbols. Whether or not they are the same design is determined. And when it is determined that they are the same symbols other than the probability variation symbols, the combination of the normal big hit symbols is made by making the stop symbols in the second part of the variable area corresponding to the big hit line the same symbols as these stop symbols. decide. When it is determined that the symbols are not the same except for the probability variation symbol, the symbols are changed to the same symbol other than the probability variation symbol, including those already stopped and those not yet stopped. Specifically, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the stop symbol corresponding to the second variable region corresponding to the big hit line is displayed as the display result of the second variable region determined as described above. The second part corresponding to the big hit line, including those that have already stopped and those that have not yet been stopped, are selected and decided at random, and the fluctuation region of the first part corresponding to the big hit line is The decision is made to change to the same stop symbol as the stop symbol of the fluctuation region. In the first part of the variation area corresponding to the big hit line, for the one that has not been stopped yet, the control is performed to stop and display the symbol currently being displayed in the same stop pattern as the stop symbol of the second section of the variation area. In the fluctuation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, control is performed so that the symbols are changed and displayed again in the fluctuation area, and the stop pattern is the same as that of the fluctuation area of the second part. Control to stop and display symbols. Also, in that case, when the extracted value of the random counter corresponds to the probability variation symbol, display is made so that the stop symbol of the second part variation area corresponding to the jackpot line is not a combination of the probability variation jackpot symbol. The resulting symbol type is adjusted (corrected) as appropriate. For example, the display result is forcibly adjusted to a combination of normal big hit symbols by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter. As a result, among the fluctuation areas of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, the fluctuation areas that have already been stopped are displayed again, and the stop symbols are changed for the fluctuation areas that have not yet stopped. The combination of the normal big hit symbols is stopped and displayed in the fluctuation region corresponding to the big hit line.

  Further, in the second region of the variation region, the variation region other than the variation region corresponding to the big hit line is determined as follows. The values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and based on the extracted values of the random counter corresponding to those fluctuation areas, the stop symbols corresponding to the corresponding second part fluctuation area are selected and determined at random. In that case, the type of symbol as the display result is appropriately selected so that the big hit display result does not occur in the effective lines other than the big hit line in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. It is adjusted (corrected). For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  In S252b, the probability variation big hit display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the first region variation region, the variation region corresponding to the big hit line is a predetermined probability variation big hit symbol combination as a display result of the first region variation region. (777) is determined. And about the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 corresponding to those fluctuation areas are respectively extracted, and based on the extracted values of the random counter corresponding to those fluctuation areas, The display result is determined at random. In that case, the relationship with the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line (including the relation with the fluctuation area of the second part when the preceding fluctuation display is performed in the second part of the fluctuation area) is effective other than the big hit line. The type of symbol used as the display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the jackpot display result does not occur in the line. For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  Further, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the variation region of the second part, the probability variation big hit display result is determined as follows. About the stop symbol of the fluctuation | variation area | region of the 2nd part corresponding to a jackpot line, it determines as follows. The stop symbol of the second variation region corresponding to the big hit line is determined to be a probable big hit symbol (“7”). Whether or not the symbols of the first part corresponding to the big hit line (two variable regions) are those that have already stopped and those that have not yet been stopped. Judging. When it is determined that the symbol is a probable variation symbol, the stop symbol in the first variation region is used as it is as a symbol corresponding to the big hit line. In addition, when it is determined that the symbol is a symbol other than the probability variation symbol, the variation region of the first part corresponding to the big hit line includes those that have already stopped and those that have not yet stopped. Make a decision to change to. In the variation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, for the symbols that have not been stopped yet, the control is performed so that the symbols that are being displayed in a variable manner are stopped and displayed with the probability variation big hit symbol. In the variation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, for the already stopped state, the control is performed to display the symbol again in the fluctuation region, and the control is performed to stop the symbol display with the probability variation big hit symbol. As a result, among the fluctuation areas of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, the fluctuation areas that have already been stopped are displayed again, and the stop symbols are changed for the fluctuation areas that have not yet stopped. The combination of the probable big hit symbols is stopped and displayed in the fluctuation region corresponding to the big hit line.

  Further, in the second region of the variation region, the variation region other than the variation region corresponding to the big hit line is determined as follows. The values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the stop symbol corresponding to the corresponding variation area of the second part is selected and determined at random. In that case, the type of symbol as the display result is appropriately selected so that the big hit display result does not occur in the effective lines other than the big hit line in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. It is adjusted (corrected). For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

[Fourth Embodiment]
In the third embodiment described above, an example is shown in which when the variable display is performed in the variable region of the second part in addition to the variable region of the first part, the variable region is changed by changing the number of variable regions. It was. In the fourth embodiment, when the variable display in the second variable region is performed in addition to the first variable region, the variation is based on the variable region used in the first variable region. An example in which the variable region is changed by assigning a part of the region to the variable region of the second part and using it will be described. In the fourth embodiment described below, differences from the third embodiment will be mainly described.

  FIG. 37 is a display screen diagram illustrating an example of a decorative pattern variation display in the ornament variation display apparatus 90 according to the fourth embodiment. About FIG. 37, the same reference number is attached | subjected about the point which is common in FIG. 7 mentioned above, and the overlapping description is not repeated.

  In the state where there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the initial state of the decoration variable region 113 is As the state image, eight predetermined effective lines (see FIG. 4) as shown in FIG. 4A are selected, and nine variable areas 101 to 109 constituting the effective lines are displayed. Such a variation region of the effective line displayed in the initial state is referred to as an initial variation region. When the variable display execution condition is established in either the first special symbol display 8 or the second special symbol display 9 and the variable display is performed first, first, as shown in FIG. In addition, the variable display is started in the three variable regions 101 to 109 corresponding to the predetermined eight effective lines. In the decoration variation region 113, the variation region corresponding to the eight effective lines selected in this way is used as the initial setting variation region of the first part.

  After that, as shown in (b), the first special symbol display unit 8 and the first special symbol display 8 are displayed in the state where the decorative symbol has not stopped yet in any variation region in the first variation region where the leading variation display is performed. When the execution condition of the variable display is established on the other of the two special symbol indicators 9 and the next decoration variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variation display, any one of a plurality of variations is displayed in the decoration variation region 113. A region (for example, two variable regions 107 and 108) is selected, the variable region is assigned to the second variable region, and variable display is started in the variable region. The variable region thus selected is assigned and used as the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, as shown in (c), in the state where the decorative symbols have already stopped in some of the variable regions of the first part of the variable region of the first variable display, the first special symbol indicator 8 and the second special symbol display 9, the variation display execution condition is established, and the next variation variation display is performed in parallel with the preceding variation display. Any one of a plurality of variable regions (for example, two variable regions 107 and 108) is selected, the variable regions are assigned to the variable region of the second part, and variable display is started in the variable regions. The variable region thus selected is assigned and used as the variable region of the second part.

  When variation display in the variation region of the second part is started, in the decoration variation region 113, the variation region of the first part is internally, among the eight effective lines as shown in (a), By assigning one effective line to the fluctuation region of the second part, the number of effective lines changes to two. Thus, when the variation display in the second variation region is performed in addition to the first variation region, a part of the effective line of the first variation region is allocated to the second variation region. Thus, the effective line changes as the number of effective lines in the variable region of the first part changes.

  In a state in which there is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is performing variable display, the first reserved memory data and When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed based on the generation of the second reserved storage data, the decoration variation area 113 is first of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. Display control is performed in which the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started is assigned to the fluctuation area of the first part and executed, and the fluctuation display for which the fluctuation display is started later is assigned to the fluctuation area of the second part and executed.

  Then, when there is no first hold storage data and second hold storage data for which the change display is started following each of the change displays, a change display based on the generation of new hold storage data is subsequently executed. There is no first reserved memory data and second reserved memory data as described above, and neither the first special symbol display 8 nor the second special symbol display 9 is in a state where variable display is performed. Similarly, of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display, the variation display in which the variation display is started first is allocated to the variation area of the first part and executed, and then the variation display is started. Display control is performed to allocate and execute the variable display to the variable region of the second part.

  In addition, when there are first reserved storage data and second reserved storage data for which variable display is started following each of these variable displays, the first decoration variable display and the second display based on the generation of the reserved storage data. When the decoration variation display is executed, a variation display in which the variation display is started first as the decoration variation area 113 (for example, the previous first decoration variation display is preceded by the previous second ornament variation display). When finished, the first decoration change display is assigned to the first part change area and executed, and the change display is started later (for example, the previous first decoration change display is the previous second decoration change). When the display ends before the change display, display control is performed in which the second decoration change display) is assigned to the change area of the second part and executed. In this case, since the variable display in the first part where the variable display is subsequently started has not yet been completed, the nine variable areas 101 as shown in FIG. ... 109 are not selected and are selected as seven variable regions other than the variable region selected as the second region variable region as shown in (b) and (c), that is, as the previous first region variable region. Seven variable regions are selected. Then, the second part of the variable area where the variable display is subsequently started is selected as two variable areas other than the variable area selected as the first part of the variable area, that is, the previous second part of the variable area. The seven changed regions are selected. Then, in the decoration variation area 113, such allocation of the first variation area and the second variation area is repeatedly performed, so that each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is the first. This is performed sequentially in parallel in each of the variable region of the part and the variable region of the second part.

  Further, when there is a plurality of reserved storage data in only one of the first reserved storage data and the second reserved storage data, and the decorative variation display is sequentially performed based on the reserved storage data, the decorative variation region 113 is displayed. Then, display control is performed in which the decoration variation display of the decoration pattern 113 is allocated only to the first part variation area as shown in (a) and the decoration variation display is sequentially executed. In that case, the variation display using the variation region of the second part is not performed.

  Next, the selection pattern of the variable area when the variable display is performed in parallel in the variable area of the first part and the variable area of the second part will be described. FIG. 38 is a diagram showing a selection pattern of the variable area when the variable display is performed in parallel between the first variable area and the second variable area according to the fourth embodiment.

  In FIG. 38, (a) to (f) show selection patterns for the first and second variable regions. In the selection pattern of (a), when the variable areas 107 and 108 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, the remaining variable areas 101 to 106 and 109 are set as the variable areas of the first part. Selected. In this case, three effective lines L1, L2, and L7 are set for the variation area of the first portion, and four effective lines L3, L4, L5, and L8 are set for the variation area of the second portion. . In the selection pattern of (b), when the variable areas 101 and 102 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable areas of the second part, the remaining variable areas 103 to 109 are selected as the variable areas of the first part. The In this case, three effective lines L2, L3, and L6 are set for the variation area of the first portion, and five effective lines L1, L4, L5, L7, and L8 are set for the variation area of the second portion. Is done.

  In the selection pattern of (c), when the variable areas 104 and 105 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, the remaining variable areas 101 to 103 and 106 to 109 are changed in the first part. Selected as a region. In this case, four effective lines L1, L3, L6, and L8 are set for the fluctuation region of the first part, and four effective lines L2, L4, L5, and L7 are set for the fluctuation region of the second part. Is done. In the selection pattern of (d), when the variable areas 108 and 109 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, the remaining variable areas 101 to 107 are selected as the variable areas of the first part. The In this case, four effective lines L1, L2, L4, and L8 are set for the fluctuation region of the first part, and four effective lines L3, L5, L6, and L7 are set for the fluctuation region of the second part. Is done.

  In the selection pattern of (e), the variable areas 102 and 103 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, and the remaining variable areas 101 and 104 to 109 are selected as the variable areas of the first part. . In this case, three effective lines L2, L3, and L4 are set for the variation area of the first portion, and five effective lines L1, L5, L6, L7, and L8 are set for the variation area of the second portion. Is done. In the selection pattern of (f), the variable areas 105 and 106 are selected as the variable areas assigned to the variable area of the second part, and the remaining variable areas 101 to 104 and 107 to 109 are selected as the variable areas of the first part. Is done. In this case, four effective lines L1, L3, L4, and L7 are set for the variation area of the first portion, and four effective lines L2, L5, L6, and L8 are set for the variation area of the second portion. Is done.

  As described above, there are a plurality of selection patterns for the first and second variable regions, and when the variable display is performed in the first and second variable regions. The combination is selected and determined from these selection patterns. Basically, in the decoration change area 113 in the decoration change display device 90, the change areas 107 and 108 are selected as the change areas of the second part as shown in FIG. However, at the start of the variable display in the second variable region when the variable display is performed in parallel in the first variable region and the second variable region, the variable display is not finished. Based on the stop state of the decorative pattern in the variation region, the variation region corresponding to the active line that has the least influence on the variation display result in the variation region of the first part is selected and executed in the variation region. .

  For example, the influence on the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation area of the first part is that the fluctuation area for which the display result is not yet derived and displayed is included in the fluctuation area of the first part, It is to make the variable display result unclear. More specifically, for example, a part or all of the variable area that is advantageous for the player is included in the second variable area, such as including a part or all of the variable area in which the reach state occurs in the second variable area. Inclusion in the variation region of the part has a great influence on the variation display result in the variation region of the first part, and is basically avoided. However, when such avoidance is not possible, the display result (stop symbol) of the variable region to be avoided is the display result (stop symbol) determined as the variable display result (stop symbol) in the variable region of the first part. To match the design).

  FIG. 38 shows an example in which two variable regions are assigned to the variable region of the second part. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of areas to be allocated to the variable area of the second part may be selected randomly from a predetermined number of areas. In S238c to be described later, the number of areas to be allocated to the variable area of the second part may be selected and determined.

  Next, a display example of a notice effect will be described. FIG. 39 is a display screen diagram showing a display example of a notice effect performed by the decoration variation display device 90 according to the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 39, display examples of the notice effect are shown as time elapses in (a) to (c). Specifically, FIG. 39 shows an example in which a notice effect corresponding to a big hit notice is performed for the first decoration change display or the second decoration change display performed in the change area of the first part.

  As shown in (a), after the leading variation display of the decorative symbols is started in the first variation region composed of nine variable regions 101 to 109, the decorative symbols are stopped in some variation regions. Yes. In this example, the reach state has not occurred. Then, as shown in (b), the two fluctuation areas 107 and 108 are assigned to the second fluctuation area, and the subsequent fluctuation display of the decorative pattern is started in these fluctuation areas. The trailing variation display of the decorative symbol is started in the second variation region constituted by the two variation regions 107 and 108. Then, in the state where the leading fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the first part, as shown in (c), when the trailing fluctuation display is performed in the fluctuation area of the second part as a notice effect, Display control is performed so that the advance variation display becomes a more advantageous state for the player. For example, in (c), a reach line is generated (increased) such that the display result of the preceding variation display performed in the first variation region is related to the derivation display of the jackpot display result in the decoration variation region 113. Thus, display control is performed so that the advance variation display is in a more advantageous state for the player.

  Specifically, in the example of (c), display control is performed in which the decorative pattern that forms the reach state in the change region 107 in the change region of the second part is stopped and the reach state is generated in the fourth effective line L4. (For example, in this example, the display result in the variable area 101 during the variable display is related to whether or not the display result is the jackpot display result in the effective line L4 that is the reach line). As a result, the reach line related to whether or not the display result of the leading fluctuation display performed in the fluctuation area of the first part is the jackpot display result in the reach line is changed from 0 to one effective line. It changes by being increased. As described above, when the follow-up variation display is performed as the notice effect, display control is performed so that the preceding variation display is in a more advantageous state for the player, thereby improving the interest of the player. it can.

  Next, the first decoration variation setting process and the second decoration variation display according to the fourth embodiment will be described. Here, for the same reason as in the case of the first embodiment, the first decoration variation setting process will be described as a representative example. FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing a first decoration variation setting process according to the fourth embodiment. About FIG. 40, the same reference number is attached | subjected about the point which is common in FIG. 24 mentioned above, and the overlapping description is not repeated.

  In the first decoration variation setting process according to the fourth embodiment, the processing contents of S236, S238, S248, S251, and S252 in FIG. 24 are mainly different, and these steps are replaced with S236c, S238c, S248c, S251c, and S252c. .

  In S236c, specifically, the first variation display line is determined (set) as follows. For example, when there is no preceding fluctuation display currently being executed, an initial setting fluctuation area composed of nine fluctuation areas as shown in FIG. 37A is determined as the first fluctuation area.

  Also, when there is a leading fluctuation display in the second part fluctuation area currently being executed, it is used in the leading fluctuation display of the first part effective lines shown in FIGS. 38 (a) to (f). An effective line constituted by a fluctuation area other than the fluctuation area is selected and determined as the first part fluctuation display line. For example, when the variable areas 107 and 108 are used in the preceding variable display in the second variable area as shown in FIG. 38A, seven variable areas as shown in FIG. The effective line composed of 101 to 106 and 108 is selected and determined as the first part variation display line.

  In S238c, a second part assigned fluctuation display line is determined (set) as a second part of the fluctuation area by assigning the fluctuation area in accordance with the preceding fluctuation display currently being executed, and the determined second part assignment fluctuation display line is determined. Is stored in the RAM 85 (S238). Specifically, the second part allocation variation region is determined in the following selection determination order. Of the combinations of the second variation areas shown in (a) to (f) of FIG. 38, the active line has the largest number of variation areas stopped in the preceding variation display in the first variation area. The combination of the fluctuation areas is selected and determined as the second part additional fluctuation area. When there are a plurality of active lines with the largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display at the time of selection selection, the priorities are set in the order of (a) to (f) in FIG. (The variable region in FIG. 38 (a) has the highest priority, and the variable region in FIG. 38 (f) has the lowest priority) Based on the data of the second part selection priority, the high priority is effective. The line is selected and determined as the fluctuation region of the second part. However, when the second part additional variation area determined by such a selection determination method is the same area as the area corresponding to the jackpot line or reach line of the preceding variation display, the variation area stopped in the preceding variation display In the case where there are a plurality of combinations of variable areas related to the active line having the largest number, the combination of the variable areas having the next highest priority is selected and determined as the second part allocation variable area. In the case where there is only one variable area corresponding to the active line with the largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display, the fluctuation corresponding to the active line with the next largest number of variable areas stopped. The area is selected and determined as the second part allocation variable area. When there is a plurality of variable areas corresponding to the active line with the next largest number of variable areas stopped in the preceding variable display at the time of selection selection, the above-described (a) to (f) in FIG. Based on the priority order, a combination of one set of change areas is selected and determined as the second part change display line.

  Furthermore, when the second part allocation fluctuation area determined by such a selection determination method includes a fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line or reach line of the preceding fluctuation display, it is based on the same priority order as that described above. A combination of variable areas not including such a variable area is selected and determined as the second part allocation variable area. When the hold area is stored and held by the symbol hold control as described above, the effective line determined in S238c is an effective line for specifying the fluctuation area including the hold area.

  In S248c, specifically, the big hit line is determined as follows. For example, when the variation area of the first decoration variation display is assigned to the first variation area composed of nine variation areas, any one effective line from the first effective line L1 to the eighth effective line L8 is used. Are selected at random, and the selected effective line is determined as the jackpot line. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random. Further, for example, when the variation area of the first decoration variation display is assigned to the seven variation areas, any one effective line is randomly selected from the three or four effective lines as described above. The selected effective line is determined as a jackpot line. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random.

  On the other hand, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the second region variation region, by adding the second region variation region as described above according to the combination of the selected second region variation regions. Any one effective line is randomly selected from a plurality of generated effective lines, and the selected effective line is determined as a jackpot line. Specifically, the value of RC10 is extracted, and one effective line is selected from the extracted value of RC10 using the data table corresponding to the number of effective lines to be selected as described above. Thereby, the big hit line is selected and determined at random.

  In S251c, specifically, the normal jackpot display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the variation region of the first part, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the variation regions corresponding to the jackpot line determined as described above are those Of the random counters corresponding to the fluctuation area, the extraction value of one random counter used for determining the normal jackpot display result is selected, and based on the extracted value, the display result of the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line is used as the normal jackpot symbol The combination is randomly selected and determined. However, when the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter becomes a probable big hit symbol, the display result is forced to be a combination of the normal big hit symbol by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter. Will be corrected. And for the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters corresponding to those fluctuation areas are extracted, respectively, and the display results are randomly selected based on the extracted values so as to be the off-line display results. To decide. In that case, the type of symbol as a display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the big hit display result does not occur in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  When the first decoration change display is assigned to the change area of the second part, the normal jackpot display result is determined as follows. About the stop symbol of the fluctuation | variation area | region of the 2nd part corresponding to a jackpot line, it determines as follows. First, when the fluctuation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line is two fluctuation areas, the stopped symbols are symbols other than the probability variation symbols, including those that have already stopped and those that have not yet stopped. Then, it is determined whether or not they are the same design. And when it is determined that they are the same symbols other than the probability variation symbols, the combination of the normal big hit symbols is made by making the stop symbols in the second part of the variable area corresponding to the big hit line the same symbols as these stop symbols. decide. When it is determined that the symbols are not the same except for the probability variation symbol, the symbols are changed to the same symbol other than the probability variation symbol, including those already stopped and those not yet stopped. Specifically, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the extracted value of one random counter used for determining the normal jackpot display result is selected from the random counters corresponding to these fluctuation regions, and the extracted value Based on the above, the stop symbol corresponding to the fluctuation area of the second part corresponding to the big hit line is selected and determined at random as the display result of the fluctuation area of the second part determined as described above, and corresponds to the big hit line The change area of the first part to be changed to the same stop pattern as that of the change area of the second part corresponding to the big hit line, including those already stopped and those not yet stopped Make a decision. In the first part of the variation area corresponding to the big hit line, for the one that has not been stopped yet, the control is performed to stop and display the symbol currently being displayed in the same stop pattern as the stop symbol of the second section of the variation area. In the fluctuation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, control is performed so that the symbols are changed and displayed again in the fluctuation area, and the stop pattern is the same as that of the fluctuation area of the second part. Control to stop and display symbols. In that case, when the extracted value of the random counter corresponds to the probability variation symbol, the display result and the stop symbol in the second variation region corresponding to the jackpot line are not combined with the probability variation jackpot symbol. The type of symbol to be adjusted is adjusted (corrected) as appropriate. For example, the display result is forcibly adjusted to a combination of normal big hit symbols by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter. As a result, among the fluctuation areas of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, the fluctuation areas that have already stopped are displayed again, and the fluctuation symbols that have not yet stopped are changed. The combination of the normal big hit symbols is stopped and displayed in the fluctuation region corresponding to the big hit line.

  Further, when the first part of the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line is one fluctuation area, the first part of the fluctuation area and the second part of the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line are already stopped, and Change to the same design other than the probability variation design, including those that have not yet stopped. Specifically, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the extracted value of one random counter used for determining the normal jackpot display result is selected from the random counters corresponding to these fluctuation regions, and the extracted value The stop symbols corresponding to the first and second variation regions corresponding to the jackpot line are selected and determined at random. With respect to the fluctuation region of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, a decision is made to change to the stop symbols determined in this way, including those already stopped and those not yet stopped. In the first part of the variation area corresponding to the big hit line, for the one that has not been stopped yet, the control is performed to stop and display the symbol currently being displayed in the same stop pattern as the stop symbol of the second section of the variation area. In the fluctuation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, control is performed so that the symbols are changed and displayed again in the fluctuation area, and the stop pattern is the same as that of the fluctuation area of the second part. Control to stop and display symbols. As a result, among the fluctuation areas of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, the fluctuation areas that have already stopped are displayed again, and the fluctuation symbols that have not yet stopped are changed. The combination of the normal big hit symbols is stopped and displayed in the fluctuation region corresponding to the big hit line.

  In S252c, specifically, the probability variation big hit display result is determined as follows. For example, when the first decoration variation display is assigned to the first region variation region, the variation region corresponding to the big hit line is a predetermined probability variation big hit symbol combination as a display result of the first region variation region. (777) is determined. And about the fluctuation areas other than the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line, the values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 corresponding to those fluctuation areas are respectively extracted, and based on the extracted values of the random counter corresponding to those fluctuation areas, The display result is determined at random. In that case, the relationship with the fluctuation area corresponding to the big hit line (including the relation with the fluctuation area of the second part when the preceding fluctuation display is performed in the second part of the fluctuation area) is effective other than the big hit line. The type of symbol used as the display result is appropriately adjusted (corrected) so that the jackpot display result does not occur in the line. For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

  Further, when the first decoration variation display is allocated to the variation region of the second part, the probability variation big hit display result is determined as follows. About the stop symbol of the fluctuation | variation area | region of the 2nd part corresponding to a jackpot line, it determines as follows. The stop symbol of the second variation region corresponding to the big hit line is determined to be a probable big hit symbol (“7”). And about the fluctuation | variation area | region (one or two fluctuation | variation area | regions) of the 1st part corresponding to a jackpot line, a stop symbol is a probability variation symbol including what has already stopped and what has not stopped yet. Determine whether or not. When it is determined that the symbol is a probable variation symbol, the stop symbol in the first variation region is used as it is as a symbol corresponding to the big hit line. In addition, when it is determined that the symbol is a symbol other than the probability variation symbol, the variation region of the first part corresponding to the big hit line includes those that have already stopped and those that have not yet stopped. Make a decision to change to. In the variation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, for the symbols that have not been stopped yet, the control is performed so that the symbols that are being displayed in a variable manner are stopped and displayed with the probability variation big hit symbol. In the variation area of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, for the already stopped state, the control is performed to display the symbol again in the fluctuation region, and the control is performed to stop the symbol display with the probability variation big hit symbol. As a result, among the fluctuation areas of the first part corresponding to the big hit line, the fluctuation areas that have already been stopped are displayed again, and the stop symbols are changed for the fluctuation areas that have not yet stopped. The combination of the probable big hit symbols is stopped and displayed in the fluctuation region corresponding to the big hit line.

  Further, in the second region of the variation region, the variation region other than the variation region corresponding to the big hit line is determined as follows. The values of the random counters RC1 to RC9 are extracted, and the stop symbol corresponding to the corresponding variation area of the second part is selected and determined at random. In that case, the type of symbol as the display result is appropriately selected so that the big hit display result does not occur in the effective lines other than the big hit line in relation to the variable area corresponding to the big hit line and the variable area of the first part. It is adjusted (corrected). For example, when determining a symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random counter for a variable region other than the variable region corresponding to the big hit line, if a combination of big hit symbols occurs in an effective line other than the big hit line, the fluctuation of the big hit line The display result is forced on the effective line other than the big hit line by adding a predetermined number to the extracted value of the random counter that determines the stop symbol of the variable area that causes the combination of the big hit symbols among the variable areas other than the area Thus, the symbols are adjusted so as to be a combination of symbols.

[Modification of Decoration Fluctuation Display Device 90]
Next, a modified example of the first decoration fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display on the decoration fluctuation display device 90 will be described. FIG. 41 is a display screen diagram illustrating a first modification of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. As a first modified example, the first variation display is performed in seven variable regions including six variable regions 201 to 206 arranged on concentric circles and one variable region 207 arranged in the center. A variation display example will be described.

  When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed using the seven variation areas 201 to 207, for example, the six variation areas 201 to 206 arranged on the concentric circles are adjacent to each other. One effective line is set in three variable regions. Thus, for the six variable areas 201 to 206, the variable areas 201 to 203, the variable areas 202 to 204, the variable areas 203 to 205, the variable areas 204 to 206, the variable areas 205, 206, 201, and the variable areas 206, 201 are displayed. , 202 are set to six effective lines L1 to L6 (L2, L3, and L5 are not shown). Further, with respect to the radial direction of the concentric circles with the fluctuation region 207 as the center, three effective lines L7 corresponding to the fluctuation regions 201, 207, 204, the fluctuation regions 202, 207, 205, and the fluctuation regions 203, 207, 206, respectively. To L9 are set.

  When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed using the variation areas 201 to 207 as in the case of the above-described embodiment, for example, the effective line for performing the first decoration variation display is varied. The effective line constituted by the areas 201 to 203 is fixed in advance, and the effective line for performing the second decoration fluctuation display is fixed in advance to the effective line constituted by the fluctuation areas 204 to 206, and the fluctuation is changed. Display. Each time the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are executed without fixedly defining the effective line for performing the first decoration variation display and the effective line for performing the second decoration variation display, You may make it select and determine the effective line (fluctuation area | region) which performs each of 1 decoration variation display and 2nd decoration variation display.

  When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed in parallel using the variation areas 201 to 207 having such a configuration, an effective line that does not overlap the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. It may be executed in the (variation region), or the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display may be executed in a partially overlapping effective line (variation region). When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are executed in an effective line (fluctuation region) partially overlapping, as described in the above-described embodiment, when the subsequent variation display is executed, What is necessary is just to select and determine an effective line (fluctuation region) for executing the subsequent fluctuation display after confirming the fluctuation display status.

  FIG. 42 is a display screen diagram illustrating a second modification of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display. As a second modified example, the effective line for performing the variable display as described in the first modified example is not selected and determined, but a range of a plurality of variable regions is targeted for the plurality of variable regions 201 to 207. In this example, when A1 and A2 are set and each of the first decoration fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display is performed, any one of the ranges is selected and the fluctuation display is performed. For example, in this example, for each of the ranges of the fluctuation region, control is performed so that a big hit is obtained when the stop symbol becomes a flat eye on a predetermined effective line. It should be noted that a plurality of variable regions may be set within the range of the variable region, or only one variable region may be included. When only one variable region is included, control is performed so as to be a big hit when a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 42, for example, for the range A1 and A2 of the variation area, an effective line for performing the first decoration variation display is fixed in advance to the range A1 of the first variation area, and the second decoration variation display is performed. The effective line for performing is fixed in advance in the range of the second fluctuation region, and the fluctuation display is performed. Further, each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is executed without fixedly defining the range of the variation area where the first decoration variation display is performed and the range of the variation area where the second decoration variation display is performed. Each time, the range of the effective line fluctuation region for executing each of the first decoration fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display may be selected and determined.

  When the first ornament variation display and the second ornament variation display are performed in parallel using the variation area ranges A1 and A2 having such a configuration, the first ornament variation display and the second ornament variation display do not overlap. You may make it perform in the range of a fluctuation | variation area | region, and you may make it perform in the range of the fluctuation | variation area | region where the 1st decoration fluctuation display and the 2nd decoration fluctuation display partially overlapped. When the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are executed in the range of the variation region partially overlapping, as described in the above-described embodiment, the preceding variation display is performed when the subsequent variation display is executed. It is only necessary to confirm and determine the range of the fluctuation region in which the subsequent fluctuation display is executed.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
Next, main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described together.

  (1) In one decoration variation display device 90, the first special variation display corresponding to the first special variation display on the first special symbol display 8 and the second special variation display on the second special symbol display 9 are performed. When one of the corresponding second decoration variation displays is executed, when the other is added and executed, one of the effective lines is assigned by assigning a part of the effective line as in the second embodiment. A predetermined effective line is set as an effective line for executing the other decoration variation display among the effective lines set for executing the decoration variation display of the other, whereby the decoration variation display to be added is executed. Thereby, since the variation display which added the other decoration variation display with respect to one decoration variation display is shown by changing an effective line in one decoration variation display device 90, without giving a player uncomfortable feeling, One display (display unit) can execute decoration variation display corresponding to each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 as a plurality of determination variation display units.

(2) In one decoration variation display device 90, the first special variation display corresponding to the first special variation display on the first special symbol display 8 and the second special variation display on the second special symbol display 9 are performed. When any one of the corresponding second decoration variation displays is executed, when the other is added and executed, it is increased by increasing the effective line as in the first embodiment. By setting the effective line as the effective line for executing the other decoration variation display, the decoration variation display to be added is executed. Thereby, since the variation display which added the other decoration variation display with respect to one decoration variation display is shown by changing an effective line in one decoration variation display device 90, without giving a player uncomfortable feeling, One display (display unit) can execute decoration variation display corresponding to each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 as a plurality of determination variation display units. Also,
(3) In one decoration variation display device 90, the first special variation display corresponding to the first special variation display on the first special symbol display 8 and the second special variation display on the second special symbol display 9 are performed. When any one of the corresponding second decoration variation displays is executed, when the other is added and executed, one of the variation areas is assigned by assigning a part of the variation area as in the fourth embodiment. The predetermined variation area among the variation areas set for executing the decoration variation display is set as the variation region for performing the other decoration variation display, so that the decoration variation display to be added is executed. As a result, since the variation area is changed in one decoration variation display device 90, a variation display obtained by adding the other variation variation display to the one variation variation display is shown, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable. One display (display unit) can execute decoration variation display corresponding to each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 as a plurality of determination variation display units.

  (4) In one decoration fluctuation display device 90, the first special fluctuation display corresponding to the first special fluctuation display on the first special symbol display 8 and the second special fluctuation display on the second special symbol display 9 are performed. When any one of the corresponding second decoration variation displays is executed, when the other is added and executed, the variation area is increased as in the third embodiment. The changed variation area is set as a variation region for executing the other decoration variation display, so that the decoration variation display to be added is executed. As a result, since the variation area is changed in one decoration variation display device 90, a variation display obtained by adding the other variation variation display to the one variation variation display is shown, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable. One display (display unit) can execute decoration variation display corresponding to each of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 as a plurality of determination variation display units.

  (5) For example, the second big hit execution flag is set in the same step in the second special symbol process corresponding to S87 in the first special symbol variation process of FIG. 19 of the first special symbol process. Until it is determined to be Y by S30, it is determined that Y is determined in S34 of FIG. 16, the big hit determination by S36 is not performed, and the first big hit flag is not set. Based on the determination that the display result of one of the variable displays of the special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 is the specific display result, until the one variable display result is derived and displayed. In the specific period, it is determined that the display result of the other variable display is not the specific display result. Further, in S90 of the first special symbol variation process of FIG. 19 in the first special symbol process process, it becomes Y and the first interruption flag is set so that the first special symbol process timer is not subtracted by S89. Thus, as shown by the part where the variable display result is not derived and displayed, and the same part in the second special symbol process, one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 is displayed. When the specific gaming state based on the result of the specific display result being derived and displayed on the display device is being executed, the control that does not start the variable display on the other special symbol display device is executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the jackpot specific gaming state from occurring simultaneously due to the fluctuation display results of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9.

  (6) As shown in S63 to S67 of FIG. 18, when the result of judgment is out because the judgment of S34 in FIG. 16 is Y and the big hit judgment by S36 is not performed and the first big hit flag is not set. When it is determined that the display result is to be disengaged by the big hit determination in S36, the variation pattern of the variation display is selected by executing the same program. Thereby, based on the determination that the display result of one of the variable displays of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 is a big hit, the display result of the other variable display is specified and displayed. Since it is not necessary to provide a dedicated program for selecting the variation pattern of the variation display in the specific period determined not to be a result, an increase in the program capacity for control can be suppressed.

  (7) As shown in FIG. 6, when one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 is performing a variable display in which the big hit display result is derived and displayed, it is performed on the other. The fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display includes a fluctuation pattern in which a fluctuation display time longer than the fluctuation display time of the fluctuation pattern set in the big hit determination time data table in the first fluctuation pattern table of FIG. A variation pattern is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns in the second variation pattern data table of b). As a result, it is possible to select a variation pattern having a variation display time set longer than the variation display time set to the variation pattern selected when the display result of the variation display is determined to be the jackpot display result. Because of the presence of this variation pattern, when the variation display in which the jackpot display result is derived and displayed on one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9 is performed, the variation display of the other It is possible to prevent a large number of variable displays that have been determined not to be displayed as jackpot display results. As a result, when it is determined that the display result of one of the variable displays is the jackpot display result. It is possible to reduce the number of variable displays that are determined not to use the other variable display result as the jackpot display result.

  (8) As an example of performing the variable display in which the other decorative variation display is added to the one decorative variation display among the first decorative variation display and the second decorative variation display, in FIG. By increasing the number of active lines as shown to increase the effective lines of the first part from the first part and the second part according to (b) to (d) to one decoration, Since the variation display in which the other ornament variation display is added to the variation display is executed, when the variation display in which the other ornament variation display is added to the one ornament variation display is executed, the number of reserved storage is Even if the number is reduced, the number of effective lines increases, so that the interest of the player can be improved.

  (9) As an example of performing a variable display in which the other decorative variation display is added to one of the first decorative variation display and the second decorative variation display, according to (a) in FIG. As shown to increase the variation area of the first part from the variation area of the first part and the second part according to (b) to (d), by increasing the number of the variation areas, Since the variation display in which the other ornament variation display is added to the variation display is executed, when the variation display in which the other ornament variation display is added to the one ornament variation display is executed, the number of reserved storage is Even if it decreases, the fluctuation area increases, so that the interest of the player can be improved.

  (10) As shown in S282 of FIG. 27, when any one of the first decoration fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display is performed, the total storage memory number is displayed on the hold memory number display unit 110 in a reduced manner. Is done. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, when the variation display of the decoration identification information corresponding to the first determination variation display unit is executed, the decoration identification corresponding to the second determination variation display unit is performed. When the variable display to which the variable display of information is added is executed, an effect that is advantageous to the player, such as a notice effect, may be executed. Thereby, even when the total value of the number of reserved memories displayed by the reserved memory number display unit 110 is reduced when the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display are performed, such an effect allows the player. An advantageous impression can be given to the player, the player can be given a sense of expectation without distrusting the player, and the player's interest can be improved. In addition, when the decoration variation display is allocated to the first and second variation areas, the total storage number is reduced and displayed in the reserved memory number display section 110, thereby allocating the decoration variation display. The player can easily grasp that the game has been performed. In particular, for example, when performing an effect that is advantageous to the player by allocating one variable area to the other variable area, such as allocating a part of the variable area of the first part to the variable area of the second part. When the number of reserved memories is displayed in a reduced manner, the effect that the player can easily grasp that such a variable area has been allocated is further increased. This is because the player cannot recognize that such an assignment is made simply by looking at the display.

  (11) As shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 35, etc., after starting the preceding variation display in the first variation region, the next time when the variation display performed in the first variation region is started, When the subsequent fluctuation display performed in the second part of the fluctuation area is scheduled to be executed, a part of the stop symbols among the stop symbols is held as a hold pattern in the RAM 85 at the start of the first part of the fluctuation area. It is stored and held in the hold symbol storage area. The hold symbol data stored in this way is used as stop symbol data in the subsequent fluctuation display. As a result, the other decoration variation display is performed using the variation area including the variation area controlled in the state derived when one of the decoration variation displays is started. It is possible to simplify the process of selecting whether to perform the variable display, and it is possible to reduce the control burden on the display control microcomputer 800 when the decorative variable display is executed.

  (12) Further, in the above-described embodiment, for example, when the jackpot display result is derived and displayed in the second special variation display and the first special variation display is executed, the first special symbol variation processing of FIG. In S90, Y is set to indicate that the first interruption flag is set and the first special symbol process timer is not subtracted. In the above-described embodiment, for example, when the jackpot display result is derived and displayed in the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is executed, the first special symbol variation processing of the first special symbol process processing is performed. When the first big hit execution flag is set in S87, it is determined in the second special symbol change process that the first big hit execution flag is set by a step corresponding to S90 of the first special symbol change process. The second interruption flag is set to indicate that the second special symbol process timer is not subtracted. In this way, when the big hit display result is derived and displayed on one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display 9, the measurement of the variable display time on the other is interrupted to thereby display a plurality of special symbol displays. It is possible to prevent the big hit gaming state from occurring at the same time.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, when there is no reserved storage data at the time when the variable display in each of the first variable region and the second variable region is completed, the second variable region is An example has been described in which it is erased and the initial state is displayed in which only the variable region of the first part is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the condition for erasing the variable area of the second part in this way is when there is less than a predetermined number of reserved storage data (for example, the first special data) A condition may be used in which there is a relatively small amount of reserved storage data, such as when there is one for each of the variable display and the second special variable display. In addition, such display control for erasing the second variable region and returning to the initial state in which only the first variable region is displayed may not be performed.

  (7) As a continuation condition of the round in the big hit gaming state, a big winning opening 21V winning area may be provided and established based on the winning of the game ball in the V winning area in each round.

  (8) In the above-described embodiment, during execution of the big hit gaming state based on one of the first special variation display, the first decoration variation display, the second special variation display, and the second decoration variation display. In order to perform control to interrupt the other variation display during the variation display, a big hit execution flag (first big hit execution flag or second big hit execution flag) is set on the side controlled to the big hit gaming state (see FIG. 19 (S87), an example is shown in which the variable display is interrupted by setting the first interruption flag when the flag is set (S90 in FIG. 19). However, the present invention is not limited to this. When one variation display is being executed, whether or not the big hit gaming state is based on the other variation display is determined by the special symbol process flag used in the other special symbol process. In the special symbol process, the value may be determined based on which process of S144 to S148 in FIG. 14 or S344 to S348 in FIG. In such a case, the control for interrupting the variable display can be performed by checking the special symbol process flag, so that the control for interrupting the variable display at an early stage can be performed by a simple process.

  (9) In the embodiment described above, when it is determined that one of the first special fluctuation display and the second special fluctuation display is a big hit, for example, it is judged as Y in S34 of FIG. In the control, the determination process is not executed, and the display result of the other variable display is forcibly removed. In this way, when forcibly making a deviation, for example, a fixed variation pattern may be selected in S66 of FIG. In this case, the fixed variation pattern is, for example, one type of variation pattern, and a variation pattern that is predetermined as a variation pattern that is used when the variation pattern is forcibly removed may be used.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, the jackpot gaming state is based on one of the first special variation display and the first decoration variation display, and the second special variation display and the second decoration variation display. When the other variation display is being executed, the control for interrupting the variation display until the big hit gaming state is completed is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and control is performed to forcibly end the other variation display when the other variation display is being executed when the big hit gaming state is based on one variation display.

When such control is performed, control for forcibly ending the other variation display may be performed by clearing the variation display time set for the other variation display at the start of the big hit gaming state. Good. Also, when performing such control, the special symbol process flag set for the other variable display at the start of the jackpot gaming state is updated to the special symbol deviation stop process, so that the other variable display is forced. You may make it perform control to complete | finish.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, the jackpot gaming state is based on one of the first special variation display and the first decoration variation display, and the second special variation display and the second decoration variation display. When the other variation display is being executed, the control for interrupting the variation display until the big hit gaming state is completed is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and control may be performed so that a new variation display is not started for the other variation display when the big hit gaming state is based on one variation display.

  (12) In the above-described embodiment, when one of the first special symbol display 8 and the second special symbol display is performing the variable display in which the jackpot display result is derived and displayed, the other is performed. As for the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display, the second fluctuation pattern data including the fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display time is set longer than the fluctuation display time of the fluctuation pattern set in the big hit determination time data table in the first fluctuation pattern table. An example is shown in which a variation pattern is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns in the table. Specifically, all the variation display times of the plurality of types of variation patterns in the second variation pattern data table are longer than the variation display times of the variation patterns set in the big hit determination time data table in the first variation pattern table. It may be set to time. Further, in the second variation pattern data table, a variation pattern set longer than the variation display time of the variation pattern set in the big hit determination time data table in the first variation pattern table, and in the first variation pattern table The variation pattern set to a shorter time than the variation display time of the variation pattern set in the big hit determination data table is included, and the variation pattern set to the longer time is set to the shorter time. Alternatively, it may be set so that the ratio to be selected is larger than the variation pattern (easy to be selected).

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, the example of the effect of increasing the reach line is shown as the notice effect. When performing an effect of increasing the reach line in this way, it may be controlled such that the already stopped symbols are changed again and then stopped to display the reach symbols. Further, when performing an effect of increasing the reach line in this way, it may be controlled to display the reach symbol by temporarily stopping the symbol that is still being displayed and then changing the symbol again. As the notice effect, display control other than display control for increasing the reach line, such as displaying a predetermined character, may be performed. In such a notice effect, when the notice effect is displayed, the notice effect can be performed without giving the player a sense of incongruity by displaying a decrease in the total number of reserved memories.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, selection of an effective line and a fluctuation region for displaying the first decoration fluctuation display corresponding to the first special fluctuation display and the second decoration fluctuation display corresponding to the second special fluctuation display.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, when each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display is executed, the variation is assigned to the variation area of the first part and the variation area of the second part. An example of executing the display was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when performing each of the first decoration variation display and the second decoration variation display without dividing the decoration variation area into the first and second variation areas, Each time the variable display is executed, the state of the leading variable display is checked at the start of the variable display, and the decoration change area is selected and determined to be used, and the variable display is executed in the determined variable area. You may make it do.

  (17) With respect to the symbol hold control shown in the above-described embodiment, when the variable display is executed in the variable area including the hold area where the display data is stored and held, the display hold data is stored and held. You may make it display the stop symbol of time. In this way, in addition to simplifying the process of selecting in which fluctuation area the other decoration fluctuation display is to be performed, it is not necessary to select a stop symbol to be stopped and displayed, so that the decoration fluctuation display can be achieved. It is possible to further reduce the control burden on the display control microcomputer 800 when executing.

  (18) In the above-described fourth embodiment, when the variation display in the second variation region is performed in addition to the first variation region, one of the variation regions used in the first variation region. As an example of assigning and using the part to the variable region of the second part, an example in which two variable regions are assigned has been shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be further selected to assign a variable region corresponding to one row of effective lines. In that case, when the variation display result of the variation area of the second part is a big hit, it corresponds to one row of the effective line than when the variation display result of the variation area of the second part is out of sync. What is necessary is just to perform the setting which makes the ratio which allocates a fluctuation | variation area high. With such a setting, when a variable region corresponding to one row of the active line is allocated, the player can recognize that the ratio of the big hit is high, so such an allocation becomes a big hit announcement effect. , The interest of the player can be improved.

  (19) In the third embodiment described above, two variable regions are used as an example of adding the number of variable regions when a variable display is performed in the second variable region in addition to the first variable region. An example of adding is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be further selected to add a variable region corresponding to one row of effective lines. In that case, when the variation display result of the variation area of the second part is a big hit, it corresponds to one row of the effective line than when the variation display result of the variation area of the second part is out of sync. What is necessary is just to make the setting which makes the ratio which adds a fluctuation area high. With such a setting, when a variable area corresponding to one row of the active line is added, the player can recognize that the ratio of the big hit is high. Thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

  (20) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the total reserved storage number is displayed as an image on the decoration variation display device 90 is shown.
