  Next, the first normal symbol control process in step S30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the first normal symbol control processing according to the present embodiment.

  In step S30-1, the main CPU 201 executes a process of loading the first normal symbol control state flag. The first normal symbol control state flag is a flag indicating a game state in the first normal symbol game. Based on the first normal symbol control state flag, the main CPU 201 determines whether or not to execute each processing in step S30-2 to step S30-6.

  In step S30-2, the main CPU 201 performs a first normal symbol storage check process (see FIG. 20), which will be described later in detail. Here, the first normal lottery process is mainly performed. Then, according to the result of the lottery process, the first normal symbol, the variable display pattern of the first normal symbol, and the like are determined.

  In step S30-3, the main CPU 201 determines that the first normal symbol control state flag is a value (01) indicating the first normal symbol variation display time management and the variation display time is set. When the value of “0” is “0”, the value (02) indicating the first normal symbol display time management is set in the first normal symbol control state flag to end the fluctuation display of the first normal symbol and confirmed. A later waiting time (for example, 1 second) is set in the first normal symbol waiting time timer. When the variable display time is over, the first normal symbol determined in step S30-2 is stopped and displayed on the first normal symbol display 24.

  In step S30-4, the main CPU 201 performs a first normal symbol display time management process (see FIG. 21), which will be described later in detail. Here, management of the remaining display time of the first ordinary symbol that is stopped and displayed is mainly performed.

  In step S30-6, when the first normal symbol control state flag is a value (04) indicating the end of the first normal symbol game, the main CPU 201 subtracts “1” from the first hold storage counter. The main CPU 201 shifts the data stored in the first reserved storage area (“1” to “4”) to the first reserved storage area (“0” to “3”), respectively, and A value (00) indicating 1 normal symbol memory check is set in the first normal symbol control state flag.

  Next, the first normal symbol storage check process in step S30-2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the first normal symbol storage check process according to the present embodiment.

  In step S30-2-1, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the first normal symbol control state flag is a value (00) indicating the first normal symbol storage check, and as a result of the confirmation, the first normal symbol control state flag is determined. If the control state flag is a value (00) indicating the first normal symbol storage check, the process proceeds to step S30-2-2, while the first normal symbol control state flag performs the first normal symbol storage check. If it is not the indicated value (00), the first normal symbol storage check process is terminated.

  In step S30-2-2, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the value of the first reserved memory counter is “0”. As a result of the confirmation, the value of the first reserved memory counter is “0”. In the case (that is, when the number of the first reserved memories stored in the first reserved storage area (“0” to “4”) is “0”), the first normal symbol storage check process is terminated. On the other hand, if the value of the first hold storage counter is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S30-2-3.

  In step S30-2-3, the main CPU 201 as the lottery means, based on the first normal lottery random value included in the first reserved storage stored in the first reserved storage area (“0”), A first normal winning lottery (open lottery) is performed as to whether or not the second first-open electric accessory 15 is to be opened.

  For example, if the first normal lottery random number value is in the range of “0” to “1022”, the main CPU 201 as the lottery means displays the first normal lottery table shown in FIG. Based on this, it is determined that the first normal winning lottery has been won. On the other hand, if the first normal per lottery random number is any other value, it is determined that the first normal lottery has been lost.

  In step S30-2-4, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the first normal lottery is won as a result of the first normal lottery performed in step S30-2-3. Then, when the main CPU 201 wins the first normal lottery, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S30-2-5. On the other hand, if the first normal winning lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S30-2-8.

  In step S30-2-9, the main CPU 201, which is a variation display pattern determination means, performs processing for determining the variation display pattern and variation display time of the first normal symbol.

  First, the main CPU 201, which is a variable display pattern determining means, extracts one random number value from random numbers generated in the range of 0 to 255 by a random number generator. Next, the main CPU 201 determines the fluctuation display pattern of the first normal symbol based on the extracted random number value and the first normal symbol fluctuation display pattern determination table.

  In step S30-2-10, the main CPU 201 sets the variable display time (30 seconds) in the first normal symbol waiting time timer.

  In addition, the fluctuation display of the first normal symbol on the first normal symbol display 24 is performed during the fluctuation display time set in step S30-2-10. When the variable display time ends, the first normal symbol that is displayed in a variable manner stops with the first normal symbol determined in step S30-2-6 or step S30-2-8 being displayed.

  In step S30-2-11, the main CPU 201 sets a value (01) indicating first normal symbol variation display time management in the control state flag. In this step, the main CPU 201 erases the random number value and the like used in the current first normal symbol storage check process from a predetermined storage area.

  Next, the first normal symbol display time management process in step S30-4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first normal symbol display time management process.

  In step S30-4-1, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the first normal symbol control state flag is a value (02) indicating the first normal symbol display time management. When the first normal symbol control state flag is the value (02) indicating the first normal symbol display time management, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S20-4-2 and enters the first normal symbol control state. If the flag is not the value (02) indicating the first normal symbol display time management, the first normal symbol display time management process is terminated.

  In step S30-4-2, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer in which the waiting time after determination is set is “0”. When the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer for which the waiting time after determination is set is “0”, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the processing of step S30-4-3, and sets the waiting time after determination. If the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer is not “0”, the first normal symbol display time management process is terminated.

  The stop display of the first normal symbol is continued until the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer becomes “0”.

  In step S30-4-3, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the first normal hit flag is ON. If the result of this check is that the first normal hit flag is ON (ie, step S30-4-3). In the case of winning the first ordinary hit in S30-2-5 (FIG. 20), the process proceeds to step S30-4-4, while the first ordinary hit flag is not ON (ie, In step S30-2-5 (FIG. 20), if the winning is not won per first ordinary), the process proceeds to step S30-4-6.

  In step S30-4-4, the main CPU 201 sets a value (03) indicating the second first-open electric accessory release setting in the first normal symbol control state flag.

  In step S30-4-5, the main CPU 201 sets the second first-open electric accessory release waiting time (eg, 3000 ms) in the first normal symbol waiting time timer.

  In step S30-4-6, the main CPU 201 sets a value (04) indicating the end of the first normal symbol game in the first normal symbol control state flag, and ends the first normal symbol display time management process.

When the first normal symbol control state flag is the value (03) indicating the second first-open electric accessory release setting, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S30-5-2. On the other hand, when the first normal symbol control state flag is not the value (03) indicating the second pre-open electric accessory release setting, the second pre-open electric accessory release setting process is terminated.

  In step S30-5-2, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer in which the second first opening electric accessory release waiting time is set is “0”. Then, when the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer in which the second first-open electric accessory release waiting time is set is “0”, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S30-5-3, If the value of the first normal symbol waiting time timer for which the second first opening electric accessory release waiting time is set is not “0”, the second first opening electric accessory opening setting process is terminated.

  In step S30-5-3, the main CPU 201 sets a value (04) indicating the end of the first normal symbol game in the first normal symbol control state flag.

  In step S40-1, the main CPU 201 executes a process of loading the second normal symbol control state flag. The second normal symbol control state flag is a flag indicating a game state in the second normal symbol game. Based on the second normal symbol control state flag, the main CPU 201 determines whether or not to execute each processing in step S40-2 to step S40-6.

  In step S40-2, the main CPU 201 performs a second normal symbol memory check process (see FIG. 24), which will be described later in detail. Here, mainly, the second normal lottery process is performed. Then, according to the result of the lottery process, the second normal symbol, the variable display pattern of the second normal symbol, and the like are determined.

  In step S40-3, the main CPU 201 determines that the second normal symbol control state flag is a value (01) indicating the second normal symbol variation display time management and the second ordinary symbol wait time timer in which the variation display time is set. When the value of “0” is “0”, the value (02) indicating the second normal symbol display time management is set in the second normal symbol control state flag to end the fluctuation display of the second normal symbol, and is confirmed. The later waiting time (for example, 1 second) is set in the second normal symbol waiting time timer. When the variable display time is over, the second normal symbol determined in step S40-2 is stopped and displayed on the second normal symbol display 24.

  In step S40-4, the main CPU 201 performs a second normal symbol display time management process (see FIG. 25), which will be described later in detail. Here, management of the remaining display time of the second normal symbol that has been stopped is mainly performed.

  In step S40-5, the main CPU 201 performs a third first-open electric accessory opening setting process (see FIG. 26), which will be described later in detail. Here, the setting for driving the third first-open electric accessory 16 to be expanded and opened is mainly performed.

  In step S40-6, when the second normal symbol control state flag is a value (04) indicating the end of the second normal symbol game, the main CPU 201 subtracts “1” from the second reserved storage counter. The main CPU 201 shifts the data stored in the second reserved storage areas (“1” to “4”) to the second reserved storage areas (“0” to “3”), respectively, 2 A value (00) indicating the normal symbol storage check is set in the second normal symbol control state flag.

  Next, the second ordinary symbol memory check process in step S40-2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second normal symbol storage check process according to the present embodiment.

  In step S40-2-1, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the second ordinary symbol control state flag is a value (00) indicating the second ordinary symbol storage check, and as a result of the confirmation, the second ordinary symbol control state flag is checked. If the control state flag is a value (00) indicating the second normal symbol storage check, the process proceeds to step S40-2-2, while the second normal symbol control state flag performs the second normal symbol storage check. If it is not the indicated value (00), the second normal symbol storage check process is terminated.

  In step S40-2-2, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the value of the second reserved memory counter is “0”. As a result of the confirmation, the value of the second reserved memory counter is “0”. In the case (that is, when the number of the second reserved memories stored in the second reserved storage area (“0” to “4”) is “0”), the second normal symbol storage check process is terminated. On the other hand, if the value of the second reserved storage counter is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S40-2-3.

  In step S40-2-3, the main CPU 201, which is the lottery means, based on the second ordinary random lottery value included in the second reserved storage stored in the second reserved storage area ("0"), A second normal lottery (open lottery) is performed to determine whether or not the third first-open electric accessory 16 is opened.

  For example, when the second normal lottery random number value is in the range of “0” to “1022”, the main CPU 201 as the lottery means sets the second normal lottery table shown in FIG. Based on this, it is determined that the second normal winning lottery has been won, while if the second normal per lottery random value is any other value, it is determined that the second normal winning lottery has been lost.

  In step S40-2-4, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the second ordinary lottery is won as a result of the second ordinary lottery performed in step S40-2-3. If the main CPU 201 wins the second normal lottery, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S40-2-5. On the other hand, if the lottery for the second ordinary is not won, the process proceeds to step S40-2-8.

  In step S40-2-5, the main CPU 201 turns on the second normal hit flag to indicate that the second normal hit is won.

  In step S40-2-6, the main CPU 201, which is the symbol determining means, determines the second ordinary symbol “7” indicating the second ordinary hit based on the table of FIG.

  In step S40-2-8, the main CPU 201, which is the symbol determining means, determines the first normal symbol (design other than “7”) indicating the deviation with reference to the table of FIG.

  In step S40-2-9, the main CPU 201, which is a variable display pattern determination unit, performs a process of determining a variable display pattern of the second normal symbol.

  First, the main CPU 201, which is a variable display pattern determining means, extracts one random number value from random numbers generated in the range of 0 to 255 by a random number generator. Next, the main CPU 201 determines the variation display pattern of the second ordinary symbol based on the extracted random number value and the second ordinary symbol variation display pattern determination table.

  In step S40-2-10, the main CPU 201 sets the variable display time (30 seconds) in the second normal symbol waiting time timer.

  In addition, the fluctuation display of the second normal symbol on the second normal symbol display 25 is performed during the fluctuation display time set in step S40-2-10. When the variable display time is over, the second ordinary symbol that is variably displayed stops with the second ordinary symbol determined in step S40-2-6 or step S40-2-8 being displayed.

  In step S40-2-11, the main CPU 201 sets a value (01) indicating the second normal symbol variation display time management in the control state flag. Further, in this step, the main CPU 201 erases the random number value and the like used in the current second normal symbol storage check process from a predetermined storage area.

  Next, the second normal symbol display time management process in step S40-4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second normal symbol display time management process.

  In step S40-4-1, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the second normal symbol control state flag is a value (02) indicating the second normal symbol display time management. When the second normal symbol control state flag is the value (02) indicating the second normal symbol display time management, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S20-4-2 and enters the second normal symbol control state. If the flag is not a value (02) indicating the second normal symbol display time management, the second normal symbol display time management process is terminated.

  In step S40-4-2, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the value of the second normal symbol waiting time timer in which the waiting time after determination is set is “0”. If the value of the second normal symbol waiting time timer for which the waiting time after determination is set is “0”, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S40-4-3, and sets the waiting time after determination. If the value of the second normal symbol waiting time timer is not “0”, the second normal symbol display time management process is terminated.

  The stop display of the second normal symbol is continued until the value of the second normal symbol wait time timer becomes “0”.

  In step S40-4-3, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the first normal hit flag is ON. If the result of this check is that the second normal hit flag is ON (that is, step S40-4-3). In S40-2-5 (in the case of winning in the second normal hit in FIG. 24), the process proceeds to step S40-4-4, while the second normal hit flag is not ON (ie, In step S40-2-5 (FIG. 24), in the case of not winning the second ordinary, the process proceeds to step S40-4-6.

  In step S <b> 40-4-4, the main CPU 201 sets a value (03) indicating the third first-open electric accessory release setting in the second normal symbol control state flag.

  In step S40-4-5, the main CPU 201 sets a third first-open electric accessory release waiting time (eg, 3000 ms) in the second normal symbol waiting time timer.

  In step S40-4-6, the main CPU 201 sets a value (04) indicating the end of the second normal symbol game in the second normal symbol control state flag, and ends the second normal symbol display time management process.

  Next, the third first-open electric accessory opening setting process in step S40-5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the third first-open electric accessory opening setting process.

  In step S40-5-1, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the second normal symbol control state flag is a value (03) indicating the third first-open electric accessory release setting. When the second normal symbol control state flag is the value (03) indicating the third first-open electric accessory release setting, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S40-5-2. On the other hand, when the second normal symbol control state flag is not the value (03) indicating the third first-open electric accessory release setting, the third first-open electric accessory release setting process is terminated.

  In step S40-5-2, the main CPU 201 confirms whether or not the value of the second normal symbol waiting time timer in which the third first-open electric accessory release waiting time is set is “0”. When the value of the second normal symbol waiting time timer in which the third first-open electric accessory opening waiting time is set is “0”, the main CPU 201 proceeds to the process of step S40-5-3, If the value of the second normal symbol waiting time timer for which the third first-open electric accessory release waiting time is set is not “0”, the third first-open electric accessory release setting process is terminated.

  In step S40-5-3, the main CPU 201 sets a value (04) indicating the end of the second normal symbol game in the second normal symbol control state flag.

  In step S40-5-4, the main CPU 201, which is a first-open electric accessory control means, performs setting for driving the third first-open electric accessory 16 to be opened and expanded.

  In this case, the main CPU 201, which is the first opening electric combination control means, in step S150 (FIG. 5), in order to open the variable blades 16a, 16b of the third first opening electric combination 16 according to the above setting. The movable member solenoid 73S is controlled.

  Thereby, in step S150 (FIG. 5), the third first-open electric accessory 16 is switched to an open state in which a game ball can easily enter. However, when the third pre-open electric accessory 16 is already open (when the third pre-open electric accessory open flag is already ON), the main CPU 201 determines in step S40-5. -4 to step S40-5-6 are skipped.

  In step S40-5-5, the main CPU 201 sets an opening time (5800 ms) in the third first-open electric accessory release timer. The open state of the third pre-open electric accessory 16 is set to a predetermined number (4) until the open time set in the third pre-open electric accessory release timer becomes zero or the third pre-open electric accessory 16 This is continued until the game balls enter.

  In step S40-5-6, the main CPU 201 sets “4” in the third first-open electric accessory winning counter.

  In step S40-5-7, the main CPU 201 turns off the second normal hit flag.

  In step S40-5-8, the main CPU 201 turns on the third pre-open electric combination releasing flag to indicate that the third pre-open electric combination 16 is in the open state.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the second normal winning lottery performed in response to the entry of the game ball into the second first opening electric combination 15 is won, the third first opening electric combination 16 becomes an open state. In other words, in the present embodiment, by aiming at the ball entering the second first-open electric combination 15, the third first-open electric combination 16 can be opened. Moreover, according to this Embodiment, a player's interest can be attracted with respect to the 2nd normal winning lottery performed at the time of the entrance to the 2nd first opening electric accessory 15.

  In addition, in a conventional gaming machine in which a plurality of start winning devices can be expanded in conjunction with each other, there is a limit to the number of prize balls (outs) that can be obtained in one synchronization. Regardless of the number of prescribed winning balls of the first-type non-electric accessory, the expected number of balls will be limited to some extent.

  However, in the present invention, a configuration in which a part of the game balls that have flowed into the cron 30 corresponding to the first-type non-electrical accessory in the conventional gaming machine passes through the first specific area 31 to start interlocking. It has become. In other words, the start of interlocking is not the entry to the cloon 30 corresponding to the first-type non-electrical accessory, but the passage of the game sphere to the first specific area 31 in the cleon 30.

  Therefore, when the specified number of winning balls for the Kroon 30 corresponding to the first-type non-electric accessory is increased, or when all the winning balls for the first-type non-electric accessory are fortunately related to the interlock (that is, In the case where all of the game balls that have flowed into the croon 30 pass through the first specific area 31), the player can collectively obtain a payout number that is greater than the maximum payout number due to the prescribed interlocking trigger. According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to improve the interest in games compared to conventional gaming machines.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, this is merely illustrative of the present invention and does not particularly limit the present invention.

  For example, the main CPU 201 in the present embodiment is in a time-saving state in which the frequency at which the first first opening electric combination 14, the second first opening electric combination 15, the third first opening electric combination 16, etc. are switched to the open state is improved. It may be possible to perform the control.

  Of course, the present invention may be applied to a pachinko gaming machine (so-called “first type” pachinko gaming machine) in which a big win lottery is performed to determine whether or not to win a big win where a large number of prize balls can be expected. The first type pachinko gaming machine has a special electric accessory that triggers the jackpot lottery and a special symbol display indicating the jackpot lottery result, and a game ball wins the special electric bonus. In this case, a big hit lottery is performed, and the result of the big hit lottery is displayed on a special symbol display.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second first-open electric accessory 15 and the third first-open electric accessory 16 are in an open state when the first normal lottery and the second normal lottery are won, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second first-open electric combination 15 and the third first-open electric combination 16 become the first first-open electric combination 14 and the second first-open electric combination 15, respectively. The game ball may be opened only by entering the game ball.

  Further, the first first opening electric combination 14, the second first opening electric combination 15, the third first opening electric combination 16, and the rear opening electric combination 18 are game balls that can be entered when they are opened. The numbers are set to 4, 4, 4, and 10, respectively. However, the number is not limited to this, and another number of game balls may be set as the number of game balls that can be entered.

  In addition, when a game ball passes through the passing combination 13, five prize balls are paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the game ball passes through the passing combination 13, a prize is awarded. A configuration in which the balls are not paid out may be used.

  In addition, the first first-open electric accessory 14 is an electric accessory that triggers the payout of a prize ball or the first ordinary lottery only when a game ball enters when it is open. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if a game ball enters in a closed state, it is an electric accessory that triggers the payout of a prize ball or the first ordinary lottery. Also good. Further, the second first-open electric accessory 15 is an electric accessory that triggers the payout of a prize ball or the second ordinary lottery even when a game ball enters in the closed state. There may be. The third first-open electric accessory 16 triggers the payout of the winning ball and the opening of the rear-open electric accessory 18 only when a game ball enters when it is in the open state. Although it was an electric accessory, it is not restricted to this, Even if it is a case where a game ball enters at the time of a closed state, it becomes an opportunity to pay out a prize ball and to open the rear opening electric accessory 18 An electric accessory may be used.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the main CPU 201 which is the first opening electric accessory control means opens the first opening electric combination on condition that the game ball has passed the first specific area 31. Therefore, it is possible to give a change to the trigger for driving the electric accessory to be expanded with respect to the conventional gaming machine in which the control of the electric accessory is performed on the condition that the start winning device is won. It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  Further, in the present invention, the first specific area 31 and the second specific area 32 that are areas through which the game balls that have passed the passing combination 13 can pass are provided, and the first opening electric combination by the first opening electric combination control means is provided. Since the control of the object is performed on the condition that the game ball has passed through the first specific area 31, it provides an interest of whether the passing combination 13 passes through the first specific area 31 or the second specific area 32. It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of first-open electric combination (for example, first first-open electric combination 14, second first-open electric combination 15, and third first-open electric combination 16) are provided. When the game ball passes through the specific region 31, one of the plurality of first-open electric combination (for example, the first first-open electric combination 14) is controlled to be in an open state, and When a game ball enters the first first opening electric combination 14, the other first opening electric combination (for example, the second first opening electric combination 15) is controlled to be in an open state. According to this, since the opportunity for each first-open electric combination to be expanded is different, it is possible to change the opportunity for the first-open electric combination to be expanded, It becomes possible to improve interest more.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the rear opening electric combination 18 is in an open state when a game ball enters the first opening electric combination (the third first opening electric combination 16) that is finally opened. Controlled. According to this, since the opportunity for the first opening electric member to be expanded and the opportunity for the second opening electric member to be expanded are different, it changes depending on the moment when the electric member is driven to expand. Can be given.

  Further, the first-open electric combination control means in the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the first-open electric combination and wins a lottery (ordinary lottery) performed in accordance with the entry, Control is performed to open the other first-open electric combination (for example, when a game ball enters the first first-open electric combination 14, the first normal lottery performed in response to the entry is won. In this case, the second first-open electric accessory 15 is controlled to be in an open state). According to this, the player's interest can be attracted to the lottery performed at the time of entering the pre-open electric combination, and the player's interest in the game can be further improved.
