Usually, each special symbol 13A, 13B, and 13C has a predetermined value. The types are confirmed and displayed on the display screen 34. Then, when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 14, the winning / no-go determination is performed, and the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are scrolled up and down to be displayed variably. After a predetermined time, for example, left, right, middle The special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped and displayed in this order, and the result of the determination of success / failure is notified by the combination of the left, middle, and right special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C. Specifically, for example, when the result of the determination is “hit”, all the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are stopped in the same symbol, that is, in the form of a stop, and the game is “hit state” "

  In addition, when the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are stopped in the order of left, right, middle after the variable display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C, the left, right special symbols 13A, 13C are the same. There is a case where the middle special symbol 13B is variably displayed in a state where the symbol is stopped first. This “reach” includes a “hit reach” that subsequently becomes a big hit and a “outgoing reach” that falls off. It should be noted that the reach state is “variable in which a combination of specific display mode jackpots is easily displayed in a stage before the display result is stopped and displayed after the special symbol of the variable display portion is variably started. If it is a “display state for making the player think that the display mode has been reached”, the left and right special symbols 13A and 13C exemplified above are not limited to those having the same symbol.

  If the winning / no-going determination result for the winnings at the upper and lower start winning openings 14A and 14B is a win, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a “winning state” and “winning game” is executed. When the winning game is executed, the solenoid 15S (see FIG. 4) provided on the back of the game board 11 is driven, and the movable door 15T provided in the special winning opening 15 falls forward for a predetermined period. In other words, in the present embodiment, “winning” based on the determination of whether or not the start winning ports 14A and 14B are determined means that a game for opening the movable door 15T is executed. In the present embodiment, the movable door 15T, the “solenoid 15S”, and the special winning opening 15 correspond to “winning game execution means” of the present invention.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, four types of “hits” shown in Table 1 below are set. Here, when the movable door 15T is opened and closed, it is referred to as “round”, and the movable door 15T is opened for 15 rounds, “per 15 rounds”, for 2 rounds. It can be classified as “per two rounds” in which the movable door 15T is opened. Furthermore, “per 15 rounds” and “per 2 rounds” each have a “probability” benefit that increases the probability of the next hit after a series of opening operations of the movable door 15T is completed. It is classified as not. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in Table 1, the “winning” based on the determination of whether or not the start winning ports 14A and 14B are determined is “per 15 rounds with probability variation” and “15 rounds without probability variation”. It is classified into four types, “winning”, “per two rounds with probability variation”, and “per two rounds without probability variation”.

  Further, “per two rounds without probability change” is commonly called “small hit”, and other “hits” are collectively called “big hit”. In addition, “normal hit” refers to “per 15 rounds without probability change”, and other hits correspond to special hits.

  Between “per 15 rounds” and “per 2 rounds”, the opening time of the movable door 15T in one round is different in addition to the number of rounds of the opening operation of the movable door 15T. In the case of “per 15 rounds”, in one round, the opening time of the movable door 15T has reached 30 seconds, or 10 game balls are placed in the grand prize opening 15 opened by the opening operation of the movable door 15T. The process ends when any of the conditions for winning an individual is satisfied first. Specifically, a continuous winning opening and a counting winning opening (not shown) are provided inside the special winning opening 15. When the movable door 15T is opened, the continuous winning opening is open, and after winning the continuous winning opening, the solenoid 15S (see FIG. 4) is driven to close the continuous winning opening, while the counting winning opening is opened. Will remain. Then, when a specific area sensor (not shown) provided in the continuation winning opening detects the winning of the game ball, a continuation right is generated, and the above-described termination condition (the opening time of the movable door 15T has reached 30 seconds, or Then, after 10 rounds of game balls have been won in the big winning opening 15), the next round is continuously executed. When a count sensor (not shown) provided in the counting prize opening detects the winning of a game ball, the winning balls to the big prize opening 15 are counted together with the winning balls to the continuous winning opening, Thus, it is checked whether or not a total of 10 has been reached. As a result, in “per 15 rounds”, as shown in FIG. 3B, the movable door 15T is guided, and a large number of game balls can be won in the grand prize opening 15, and a large amount of game balls can be obtained. become.

  On the other hand, “per 2 rounds” only executes the operation of opening the movable door 15T for 1 second twice, and “per 2 rounds” makes it difficult to win the prize winning opening 15. Therefore, in “per two rounds without probability change” without the “probability change” benefit, the movable door 15T is opened and belongs to “win”, but an increase in the number of prize balls cannot be expected. In this respect, “per two rounds without probability change” is classified as “small hit”. In addition, even with the “probability change” benefit, in “per 2 rounds with probability change”, the increase in prize balls cannot be expected due to the opening operation of the movable door 15T. Since it can be expected to increase the number of prize balls, it is classified as “big hit”.

  Details regarding the probability change are as follows. That is, the probability that the winning / failing determination result related to winning in the upper and lower start winning openings 14A and 14B will be a big hit may change midway. The probability that the combination of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C of the variable display unit is a big hit is provided in two types: 1/315 for normal (low probability) and 5/315 for high probability. ing. Hereinafter, a state with a high probability is referred to as a “probability change state”, and a game performed in the probability change state is referred to as a “probability change game”. The timing at which the pachinko gaming machine 10 is switched from the normal state to the probable change state is set after the end of the hit game with the opening operation of the movable door 15T for two rounds or 15 rounds. Once the probability change state is reached, it is maintained until the determination results by the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are successful. Further, whether or not “per 15 rounds” is with certainty can be discriminated based on the determination symbol. That is, the symbol combination (determination symbol) of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C that is stopped and displayed on the display device 13 immediately before each “winning” is executed is “odd odd number” in the case of “per 15 rounds with probability variation”. In the case of “round 15” and “per 15 rounds without probability change”, it becomes “even-numbered round”, and both can be distinguished by the judgment pattern.

  On the other hand, whether or not “per two rounds” is with certainty cannot be discriminated based on the determination symbol. That is, the symbol combination (determination symbol) of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C that is stopped and displayed on the display device 13 immediately before each “winning” is executed is “no probability change 2” even in the case of “per two rounds with probability change”. In the case of “per round” (so-called “small hit”), both are hit points (chance points) of “1 3 5”, and the two cannot be distinguished from each other by the determination symbol.

  Whether or not “per round 15” is “with certainty” can also be determined by the opening operation of the movable wings 14C and 14C after the end of the winning game with the opening operation of the movable door 15T. . That is, after a game of “per 15 rounds with certainty” (after the opening operation of the movable door 15T), if a high probability gaming state (probable variation state) is reached, the lottery probability for entering the starting gate 18 will be high and movable. A game is performed in which the number of seconds for opening the wings 14C and 14C is increased from 0.5 seconds to 1.5 seconds, and the number of times of opening is increased from one to three. In this way, a state in which the lottery probability for entering the starting gate 18 is high and the movable blades 14C and 14C can be opened for 1.5 seconds is referred to as a “short-time state”. That is, the game state after “game per 15 rounds with probability change” (after the opening operation of the movable door 15T) is “probability change state” and “time reduction state” until the next “win” determination result is obtained. "A certain advantageous state will be maintained." As a result, during a 15-round probability change game, a larger number of winning balls for winning in the lower start winning opening 14B is paid out than usual, and it becomes difficult to reduce the number of balls held. And it can play a game until the next big hit, suppressing reducing a holding ball.

  On the other hand, after the game “per 15 rounds without probability change”, when the low probability game state (during normal game) is entered, the “short state” Then, after the determination of whether or not the ball enters the start gate 18 has been made 100 times, the “normal state” is entered instead of the “short time state”. Accordingly, whether “per round 15” is “with probability variation” or “no probability variation” can be distinguished by the opening operation of the movable wing 14C after the end of the hit game accompanied by the opening operation of the movable door 15T.

  On the other hand, whether or not “per two rounds” is “with certainty” cannot be distinguished by the opening operation of the movable wing 14C after the end of the hit game accompanied by the opening operation of the movable door 15T. . That is, there is no difference in the lottery probability for entering the starting gate 18 after the game “per two rounds”, and the opening frequency and opening time of the movable wing 14C also change depending on whether “with probability variation” or “without probability variation”. do not do. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, “per 2 rounds” is determined by the opening pattern of the movable wing 14C after the “per 2 rounds” game, etc. It is configured so that it is not possible to distinguish whether “” is “with certainty” or “without certainty”. For this reason, even if, for example, a game is “per 2 rounds without probability change (small hit)”, after the opening game of the movable door 15T by the “per 2 rounds without probability change (small hit)” ends. If the opening game of the movable door 15T may have been a game of “per two rounds with certainty”, there is a possibility that the game can be continued with expectation, and the player can be made to play for a longer time. .

  While the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are variably displayed on the display device 13, and while the “big hit game” and the “small hit game” are being executed, either the upper or lower start winning opening 14A, 14B When a game ball enters the ball, the right / wrong determination right for receiving the above determination of whether or not it is held is reserved and stored. In the following description, the number of reserved right / no-go determination rights and the “number of reserved balls” have the same meaning. Also, when the number of reserved right / no-go judgment rights is limited to the number of reserved balls related to the upper start winning opening 14A, it is referred to as FIG. The number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 is assumed.

  The special figure 1 reserved ball number and the special figure 2 reserved ball number are each set to a maximum of four without including the reserved number related to the variable display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C. Then, in order to display the special figure 1 holding number, as shown in FIG. 2, a special figure 1 holding ball number display part 14 </ b> X is displayed at the lower end portion of the display screen 34 of the display device 13. 34, a special figure 2 reserved ball number display part 14Y for displaying the special figure 2 reserved ball number is displayed below the special figure 1 reserved ball number display part 14X. The special figure 1 reserved ball number display portion 14X has, for example, four “◯” marks arranged side by side. As the number of reserved balls increases, the color of the “◯” mark from the left end according to the number increases. Switch to The special figure 2 reserved ball number display portion 14Y has, for example, four “Δ” marks arranged side by side. As the number of reserved balls increases, the color of the “Δ” mark from the left end according to the number increases from a light color to a dark color. Switch to

  Now, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the right / left determination right generated due to winning in the upper and lower start winning openings 14A and 14B is put on hold, the right / left determination for the preliminary determination with respect to the right / left determination right is made. Do. And before the notification by the stop display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C, a predetermined notice execution condition is established for a plurality of continuous notices for predicting in advance the decision result of the right or wrong decision right to be held. If you do. In addition, when the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C start the variable display, for example, the advance notice lamp 24L is turned on and the notice notice sound (for example, the sound of “Pui Pui”) is used for one notice in the number of consecutive notices. ) Is output from the speakers 56S and 56S.

  Each time the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are started to be displayed in a variable manner, the warning notification lamp 24L is turned on and a warning notification sound is output. That is, when the continuous notice is performed, the change display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C accompanied by the notice sound and the light effect that are not normally output is continuously repeated. Thereby, the player can have a sense of expectation for the big hit. The maximum number of consecutive notices is set to 4 (when the change of the lower start winning opening 14B is interrupted, the number is increased by the number of times), and the player has a sense of expectation for the big hit as the number of times increases. In this way, a larger number of consecutive notices is selected when the big hit is lottery.

  FIG. 4 shows an electrical configuration related to the control of the pachinko gaming machine 10. In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a main control board, which is provided with a one-chip microcomputer 51, which is a package of a CPU 51A, a RAM 51B, and a ROM 51C. Then, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, the CPU 51A of the main control board 50 takes out a later-described main control board main program PG1 from the ROM 51C and runs it. Then, the CPU 51A of the main control board 50 receives detection signals from the gate switch 30, the start opening sensors 31A and 31B and other sensors, switches and the like for detecting the winning ball via the input / output circuits 54 and 54. The main control board main program PG1 is processed, and the sub-control board 52 and the payout control board 59, the lamp control board 55 and the voice control board 56, the launch control device 60, etc. Control data is output to control each part.

  Similar to the main control board 50, the sub control board 52 includes a CPU 52A as a one-chip microcomputer packaged with a RAM 52B and a ROM 52C. Then, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, the CPU 52A of the sub control board 52 also takes out and runs a sub control board main program PG2 (see FIG. 33) described later from the ROM 52C. In addition to the control program such as the sub control board main program PG2, the ROM 52C stores image control data and image data for displaying an image on the display device 13. The ROM 52C extracts predetermined data from the ROM 52C based on the control data received from the main control board 50, and game images (special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C, effect symbols, background images, character images) in the work area of the RAM 52B. , Character images, etc.) are created and displayed on the display device 13. The sub control board 52 outputs control data to the lamp control board 55 and the sound control board 56 in accordance with the control data output from the main control board 50. That is, the sub-control board 52 functions as an effect control board that controls an effect made up of lamps, sound, and display.

  The lamp control board 55 performs light emission pattern selection based on the control data received from the main control board 50 via the sub control board 52, and turns on the side lamp 22, the decoration lamp 35, and the like.

  The sound control board 56 sets sound data for BGM and production based on the control data received from the main control board 50 via the sub control board 52, and generates sound from the speaker 56S.

  The payout control board 59 has a signal from the one-chip microcomputer 51 based on the winning of the game ball in each winning opening 14, 15, 20, 21 and a prepaid card unit 150 (on one side of the pachinko gaming machine 10). Refer to Fig. 4. Based on a signal from (not shown in Fig. 1), the winning ball payout device 62 and the rental ball payout device 63 are driven to pay out the game balls to the upper plate 27A.

  FIG. 5 conceptually shows the storage area R0 of the RAM 51B provided in the main control board 50. For example, the storage area R0 is divided into a plurality of address spaces and assigned addresses (addresses). The first and second counter value storage areas R10 and R11 provided in a predetermined address space are data storage units for various random number counter values shown in Table 2 (A). In addition, the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 provided in the address space has data for the normal symbol per-determining random number counter value (see Table 2 (B)) for performing the determination using the normal symbol display unit 20 described above. It is a storage unit. Further, this address space is used not only as a data storage unit of a random number counter but also as a data storage unit such as a flag. The RAM 51B is also provided with a counter value update value storage area and a work area for the CPU 51A. The flags are all defaulted to “OFF” or “0”, the counter values etc. are all defaulted to “0”, and the statuses described later are all defaulted to “1”. "It has become.

  Each random number counter of “Random number counter name” in Table 2 (A) above increments a counter value consisting of a plurality of consecutive integers in “Numerical value range” in the same table every time a predetermined process is executed. Then, the count result, that is, the “counter value” is sequentially stored in an update value storage area different from the counter value storage areas R10 and R11 in the storage area R0 of FIG. When the count result of each random number counter reaches the maximum value of the “numerical value range” that differs depending on each random number counter, the minimum value of the “numerical value range” is counted next. As a result, the data stored in the update value storage area is updated, and the combination of the counter values of the random number counters shown in Table 2 (A) changes. Similarly, the random number counter value for normal symbol determination in Table 2 (B) is updated while incrementing by 1 in the range of “0 to 240” as the “numerical value range”, and the updated value is shown in FIG. It is stored in an update value storage area for normal symbols provided separately from the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 in the storage area R0.

  When a game ball wins the upper start winning opening 14A, various counter value groups in the update value storage area are stored (stored) in the first counter value storage area R10, and a game ball wins the lower start winning opening 14B. When this is done, the various counter value groups in the update value storage area are stored (stored) in the second counter value storage area R11. Here, in the first counter value storage area R10, four sets of random value groups (various counter value groups in the update value storage area) corresponding to the upper limit value “four” of the special figure 1 reserved ball number described above. Is stored (stored). Also, in the second counter value storage area R11, there are four sets of random value groups (various counter value groups in the update value storage area) corresponding to the upper limit value “four” of the special figure 2 reserved ball number. Stored (stored).

  In this embodiment, the random number value of each random number counter is acquired due to the winning detection to the start winning ports 14A and 14B. The cause of acquisition may be made different for each random number counter, for example, by acquiring the type determination random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) and otherwise acquiring it at the start of fluctuation.

  When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, the one-chip microcomputer 51 provided in the main control board 50 takes out the main control board main program PG1 shown in FIG. 6 from the ROM 51C and runs it. As shown in the figure, when the main control board main program PG1 is run, initialization is first performed (S1). In the initial setting (S1), for example, stack setting, constant setting, interrupt time setting, CPU 51A setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time controller) setting, resetting of various flags and counter values, and the like are performed. . When the RAM clear switch is turned on or when the power-off flag is turned on and it is determined that the contents of the RAM 51B are abnormal, the RAM 51B is initialized. The initial setting (S1) is executed only when the main control board main program PG1 is run for the first time after power-on, and is not executed thereafter.

  Subsequent to the initial setting (S1), interrupts are prohibited (S2), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3), each of the various counter values shown in Tables 2 (A) and 2 (B) is incremented by 1 and updated. When the set upper limit value of each counter is reached, it returns to 0 and the addition is performed again. The updated counter value is stored one by one in the above-described update value storage area (not shown) in the storage area R0 (see FIG. 5) of the RAM 51B of the main control board 50, and this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3) ends.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3) is completed, the interrupt is permitted (S4), and the main control board interrupt process (S5) can be executed. The main control board interrupt process (S5) and the main control board main program PG1 (see FIG. 6) correspond to the “first control program” of the present invention. When the interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 51A, the main control board interrupt process (S5) is repeatedly executed at a cycle of 4 msec, for example. Then, during the remaining processing period from the end of the main control board interrupt process (S5) to the start of the main control board interrupt process (S5), the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3). The process of updating various counter values is repeatedly executed a plurality of times. When an interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 51A in the interrupt disabled state, the main control board interrupt process (S5) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S4).

  The main control board interrupt process (S5) will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, in the main control board interrupt process (S5), an output process (S10) is first executed. In this process (S10), commands (control signals) set in the output buffer provided in the RAM 51B of the main control board 50 in each process described below are transferred to the corresponding sub control board 52, the payout control board 59, etc. Output. Examples of the command (control signal) output here include a fluctuation pattern, big hit determination data, small hit determination data, big hit type (normal big hit or probable big hit) data, and the like.

  In the input process (S11) performed after the output process (S10), various sensors (gate switch 30, upper start port sensor 31A, lower start port sensor 31B, other sensors, switches, etc., which are mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine 10. A detection signal detected by a class (see FIG. 4) is taken in and stored in the output buffer of the RAM 51B as payout number information. Further, the detection signal of the lower plate full switch 32 generated when the lower plate 27B becomes full is also taken in as the lower plate full data and stored in the output buffer of the RAM 51B.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S12) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3) performed in the loop process of the main control board main program PG1. . That is, the various counter values shown in Table 2 (A) and the random counter value for normal symbol determination are the execution period of the main control board interrupt process (S5) and the remaining process period (main control board interrupt process (S5 ) And the period between the next main control board interrupt process (S5) is started).

  In this embodiment, the “ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number update process” in steps S3 and S12 and the update value storage area in the address space of the RAM 51B constitute the “random number generator” of the present invention. ing. Further, the first counter value storage area R10 in the address space of the RAM 51B corresponds to the “first determination random number storage means” of the present invention, and the second counter value storage area R11 corresponds to the “second determination random number storage means” of the present invention. Equivalent to.

  Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S12), the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S15) is executed. Here, the CPU 51A functions as the “second determination random number acquisition unit” according to the present invention by executing steps 150 to S153 in the processing (S15), and executes steps 155 to S158 to It functions as the “first determination random number acquisition means” according to the invention. Further, the CPU 51A functions as “notice determination unit” according to the present invention by executing steps 154 and S159. Further, the CPU 51A functions as a “normal symbol determination random number acquisition unit” by executing steps 148 to S149.

  Specifically, in the start winning opening switch detection process (S15), the game ball passes through the start gate 18 as shown in FIG. 8 in order to cause the CPU 51A to function as the “normal symbol determination random number acquisition means” first. It is determined whether or not (S148). At this time, if the game ball has passed through the start gate 18 (Yes in S148), a gate passage process (S149) is performed. On the other hand, if the game ball has not passed through the starting gate 18 (no in S148), the gate passing process (S149) is passed and the process proceeds to step S150.

  In the gate passing process (S149), as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether the number of retained gate balls (ordinary symbol retained ball number) is 4 or more (S140). (Yes in S140) Immediately exits from this process (S149). On the other hand, if the number of retained gate balls is not 4 or more (no in S140), 1 is added to the number of retained gate balls (S141), and gate random number acquisition processing (S142) is performed. In the gate random number acquisition process (S142), the normal symbol per-determination random number counter value stored in the normal symbol update value storage area (not shown) of the storage area R0 (see FIG. 5) is acquired as a random value. Then, the obtained random number value is stored in an address space corresponding to the number of reserved balls of the start gate 18 in the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 of the storage area R0. The address space corresponding to the current number of reserved balls is, for example, an address adjacent to the address storing the acquired random number related to the current number of reserved balls (for example, 1 to the address storing the acquired random number related to the current number of held balls). For example, if the current number of reserved balls is 0, the acquired random number value is stored in the address space of the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 corresponding to the number of reserved balls 1 obtained by adding 1 to it. If the current number of reserved balls is 1, the acquired random number value is stored in the address space of the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 corresponding to the number of reserved balls 2.

  Thus, the CPU 51A functions as a “normal symbol determination random number acquisition means”, and each time a game ball passes through the start gate 18, the normal symbol count value for determination per normal symbol in the update area is stored in the normal symbol counter value storage area R12. (See FIG. 5). Then, in correspondence with the number of four reserved balls, which is the upper limit value of the number of reserved balls related to the start gate 18, a maximum of four normal symbol per-determination random number counter values are stored in the normal symbol counter value storage area R12. Further, as described above, even if there is no current reserved ball number (even if it is “0”), the acquired random number value is temporarily stored once in the address space of the normal symbol counter value storage area R12. It will be.

  Next, in the start winning opening switch detection process (S15), as shown in FIG. 8, whether or not a game ball has won a prize at the lower starting winning opening 14B in order to cause the CPU 51A to function as the “second determination random number acquisition means”. That is, it is checked whether or not a game ball is detected by the lower start opening sensor 31B provided in the lower start winning opening 14B (S150). If a game ball has won the lower start winning opening 14B (Yes in S150), it is then checked whether the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has reached four (upper limit) (S151). Here, when a game ball has not won in the lower start winning opening 14B (no in S150), and a game ball has won in the lower start winning opening 14B, but the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 has reached four. In step S150 (yes in S150 and step S151 in yes), steps S152 to 154 (process related to special figure 2) are not performed, and the process proceeds to step S155 and subsequent steps (process related to special figure 1).

  On the other hand, when a game ball wins in the lower start winning opening 14B (yes in S150) and the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has not reached four (no in S151), 1 is added to the number of special figure 2 reserved balls Then, a special figure 2 related random number process (S153) is performed. In the special figure 2 related random number processing (S153), the jackpot determination random number counter value (label-TRND-A) stored in the update value storage area (not shown) of the storage area R0 (see FIG. 5), the jackpot The random number counter value for type determination (label-TRND-AS), the random number counter value for reach determination (label-TRND-RC), and the random number counter value for variation mode determination (label-TRND-T1) are disordered from the update value storage area. The obtained random number values are stored as numerical values, and stored in the address space corresponding to the current number of reserved figure 2 reserved balls in the second counter value storage area R11 of the storage area R0. Note that the address space corresponding to the current number of reserved balls in the special figure 2 is, for example, an address next to the address storing the acquired random number related to the number of reserved balls in the special figure 2 (for example, the current number of reserved balls in the special figure 2). For example, if the current special figure 2 reserved ball number is 0, the number corresponding to the special figure 2 reserved ball number 1 is added to it. 2 When the acquired random number value is stored in the address space of the two counter value storage area R11 and the current special figure 2 reserved ball number is 1, the address of the second counter value storage area R11 corresponding to the special figure 2 reserved ball number 2 Stores the acquired random value in space.

  As a result, the CPU 51A functions as “second determination random number acquisition means”, and every time a game ball wins the lower start winning opening 14B, that is, every time the “second determination condition” according to the present invention is satisfied, The determination right is generated, the random value group in Table 2 (A) as the “determination random number” is acquired from the update value storage area (not shown) of the storage area R0 (see FIG. 5), and “ It is stored in the second counter value storage area R11 (see FIG. 5) as “second determination random number storage means”. In addition, as described above, even if there is currently no special figure 2 reserved ball number (even if it is “0”), the acquired random number value is temporarily set in the address space of the second counter value storage area R11 once. Will be stored.

  In the start winning port switch detection process (S15), as shown in FIG. 8, after the special figure 2 related random number process (S153), the special figure 2 pre-determination process (S154) is performed, and the CPU 51A performs the “notice determination means” of the present invention. ”. In this process (S154), as shown in FIG. 10, a determination is made in advance for the winning ball held in FIG. 2, and a special figure 2 winning command is set based on the result. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the game is a big hit (S101). If it is a "big hit" (yes in S101), the special figure 2 big hit prize command is added to the special figure 2 winning command stored in the RAM 51B. Set (S102). On the other hand, if it is not “big hit” (no in S101), it is next determined whether or not it is a small hit (S103). If it is “small winning” (yes in S103), the special figure 2 small winning prize command is set to the special figure 2 winning command stored in the RAM 51B (S104). On the other hand, if it is not “small hit” (no in S103), it is next determined whether or not it is reach (S105). If it is “reach” (yes in S105), it is stored in the RAM 51B. The special figure 2 reach winning command is set to the special figure 2 winning command (S106). If it is not “reach” (no in S105), the special figure 2 extra prize command is set (S107). The above is the description of the special figure 2 preliminary determination process (S154).

  Next, in the start winning opening switch detection process (S15), as shown in FIG. 8, whether or not a game ball has won a prize at the upper starting winning opening 14A in order to cause the CPU 51A to function as the “first determination random number acquisition means”. That is, it is checked whether or not a game ball is detected by the upper start opening sensor 31A provided in the upper start winning opening 14A (S155). If a game ball has won the upper start winning opening 14A (Yes in S155), then it is checked whether the number of special figure 1 reserved balls has reached four (upper limit) (S156). Here, when a game ball has not won in the upper start winning opening 14A (no in S155), and a game ball has won in the upper start winning opening 14A, but the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 has reached four. (Yes in S155 and yes in S156), Steps S157 to 159 (processing relating to Special Figure 1) are not performed, and this processing (S15) is terminated.

  On the other hand, when a game ball is won in the upper start winning opening 14A (Yes in S155) and the number of special figure 1 reserved balls has not reached four (no in S156), 1 is added to the number of special figure 1 reserved balls. Then, the special figure 1 related random number processing (S158) is performed. In the special figure 1 related random number process (S158), similar to the above special figure 2 related random number process (S153), it is stored in the update value storage area (not shown) of the storage area R0 (see FIG. 5). Big hit determination random number counter value (label-TRND-A), big hit type determination random number counter value (label-TRND-AS), reach presence determination random number counter value (label-TRND-RC), and variation mode determination random number counter The value (label-TRND-T1) is acquired as a random value from the update value storage area, and the acquired random number value corresponds to the current number of reserved balls in the first counter value storage area R10 of the storage area R0. Store in the address space.

  As a result, the CPU 51A functions as “first determination random number acquisition means”, and every time a game ball wins the upper start winning opening 14A, that is, every time the “first determination condition” according to the present invention is satisfied, The determination right is generated, the random value group of Table 2 (A) as “determination random number” is acquired from the update value storage area (not shown) of the storage area R0 (see FIG. 5), and “ It is stored in a first counter value storage area R10 (see FIG. 5) as “first determination random number storage means”.

  In the start winning opening switch detection process (S15), as shown in FIG. 8, after the special figure 1 related random number process (S158), the special figure 1 pre-determination process (S159) is performed, and the CPU 51A of the present invention “notice determination means” ”. This special figure 1 predetermination process (S159) is the same algorithm as the above-mentioned special figure 2 predetermination process (S154). That is, in the special figure 1 pre-determination process (S159), as shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S111), and if it is a "big hit" (yes in S111), it is stored in the RAM 51B. The special figure 1 big hit winning command is set to the special figure 1 winning command (S101). On the other hand, if it is not “big hit” (no in S111), it is next determined whether or not it is a small hit (S113). If it is “small win” (yes in S113), the special figure 1 small winning prize command is set to the special figure 1 winning command stored in the RAM 51B (S114). On the other hand, if it is not “small hit” (no in S113), it is next determined whether or not it is reach (S115). If it is “reach” (yes in S115), it is stored in the RAM 51B. The special figure 1 reach winning command is set to the special figure 1 winning command (S116). If it is not “reach” (no in S115), the special figure 1 extra prize command is set (S117). The above is the description of the special figure 1 preliminary determination process (S159). Then, the process exits from this process (S159) and exits from the start winning opening switch detection process (S15) shown in FIG. 8 as a whole.

  As described above, in the start winning a prize mouth switch detection process (S15), the CPU 51A of the main control board 50 performs the “notice determination” of the present invention through the special figure 2 preliminary determination process (S154) and the special figure 1 preliminary determination process (S159). The “continuous notice” according to the present invention for functioning as “means” and notifying the player of the result of the notice for notice by the notice judging means is controlled by the CPU 52A of the sub-control board 52. In the present embodiment, in order for the CPU 51A of the main control board 50 to transmit the information of the determination result for advance notice to the CPU 52A of the sub-control board 52, the above-described special figure 2 pre-determination process (S154) and special figure 1 are described. By the pre-determination process (S159), “Special Figure 1 Big Winning Command”, “Special Figure 1 Small Winning Command”, “Special Figure 1 Reaching Command”, “Special Figure 2 Big Winning Command”, “Special Figure 2 Small” The “winning winning command” or the “special figure 2 reach winning command” is generated as a command to be transmitted from the CPU 51A of the main control board 50 to the CPU 52A of the sub control board 52.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the normal operation process (S16) is performed after the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S15). This normal operation process (S16) is shown in FIG. 12, and the display state of the normal symbol display unit 20 is divided into four states, and these states are changed to “normal operation statuses 1, 2, 3, 4”. Assigned. When the “normal operation status” is “1” (Yes in S160), the normal symbol standby process (S161) is performed. When the “normal operation status” is “2” (No in S160, S162). Normal symbol change processing (S163), and when the "normal operation status" is "3" (both no in S160 and S162, yes in S164), normal symbol confirmation processing (S165) is performed. When the “normal operation status” is “4” (no in S160, S162, and S164), the normal electric accessory processing (S166) is performed.

  When the normal symbol standby process (S161) is executed in the normal operation process (S16) shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the number of retained balls of the normal symbol is “0” as shown in FIG. 13 (S120). ), If “0”, the process immediately exits from this process (S161), and if it is not “0”, the normal symbol hit determination process (S121) is performed. The normal symbol per-determination process (S121) is shown in FIG. 14, and the normal symbol per-determination random number counter value (label-TRND-H) stored in the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 is taken out (S400). ). Next, the address of the hit determination value table is set (S401). Thereby, as shown in Table 3 below, for example, “236” to “240” are set as hit comparison values in the non-probability fluctuation state, and “1” to “240” are set as hit comparison values in the probability fluctuation state, for example. Is set.

  Next, it is checked whether the gaming machine is in probability change (probability change state) or in time reduction (time reduction state) (S402). Whether the winning random number counter value (label-TRND-H) matches any of “236” to “240” is determined (S403). On the other hand, when the probability is changing or the time is short (Yes in S402), it is determined whether or not the random number counter for normal symbol determination (label-TRND-H) matches any of “1” to “240”. Based on this, it is determined whether or not it is a hit (S404). In any case, if it is determined that “winning” (Yes in S403, yes in S404), the winning flag stored in the RAM 51B is turned on (S405).

  Further, when it is determined that “it is not a win” (no in S403 and no in S404), the process exits (S53). The above is the description of the normal symbol hit determination process (S121). Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the normal symbol variation pattern process (S122) is performed after the normal symbol hit determination process (S121). Here, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal symbol fluctuation pattern of “per hour” that is performed when the random number counter value for judgment per ordinary symbol is hit during the probability change or in the short time, and normal in the probability change or in the short time. Normal symbol fluctuation pattern of “out of time” when the random number counter value for judgment per symbol is out of date, and “normal time” normal when the random number counter value for judgment per normal symbol is normal during games There are four types of symbol variation patterns and normal symbol variation patterns of “out of normal” performed when the random counter value for determination per ordinary symbol is out of normal games. In this normal symbol normal symbol variation pattern process (S122), it is determined whether the probability change or time is short, normal game, or whether the normal symbol per-determination random number counter value is win or miss. The normal symbol variation pattern is determined.

  More specifically, in the above-described normal symbol variation pattern of “short time” and “out of time”, for example, after the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display unit 20 for 1 second, “per hour” In the normal symbol variation pattern, an odd number (for example, “1”) is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in the normal symbol variation pattern of “out of time”, the display is stopped at an even number (for example, “0”). Further, in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern of “per normal time” and “out of normal time”, for example, after the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display unit 20 for 30 seconds, the normal symbol fluctuation pattern of “normal time” is displayed. In the normal symbol variation pattern of “out of normal time”, the stop display is performed at an even number (for example, “0”).

  Further, when the normal symbol display unit 20 displays a change after the normal symbol change pattern “per hour”, the movable blades 14C and 14C are opened three times for 1.5 seconds. It is. When the normal symbol display unit 20 displays the variation after the normal symbol variation pattern of “per hour”, the movable blades 14C and 14C are opened once for 0.5 seconds. The opening operation of the movable blades 14C and 14C is controlled by a normal symbol determination process (S165) and a normal electric accessory (electric support) process (S166) described below.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the normal symbol random number shift process (S123) is performed after the normal symbol variation pattern process (S122). As shown in FIG. 15, in the normal symbol random number shift process (S123), the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is decremented by 1 (S410), and the normal symbol counter value storage in which the random symbol value for determination per normal symbol is stored. The address of the area R12 is shifted to the upper side (S411), and the data (ordinary symbol counter value) in which the highest address of the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 is stored is made empty (“0”) (S412). ), The normal symbol random number shift process (S123) is exited.

  As a result, one normal symbol determination right corresponding to the random counter value for determination per normal symbol stored in the normal symbol counter value storage area R12 is digested, and one or more normal symbol determination rights other than that. When the random number counter value for normal symbol per minute is stored in the normal symbol counter value storage area R12, the storage position of the random number counter value for normal symbol determination is shifted to the side where it is digested one by one. . In this way, the normal symbol determination right is digested in the oldest order (the order in which it occurred first).

  As shown in FIG. 13, after the normal symbol random number shift processing (S123), the normal symbol variation start processing (S124) is performed, and the normal symbol display unit 20 according to any one of the first to fourth normal symbol variation patterns described above. Is displayed after the change display.

  When the normal symbol changing process (S163) is executed in the normal operation process (S16) shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing in the normal symbol display unit 20, as shown in FIG. (S130) If there is a change, that is, if the change time has not ended (no in S130), this process (S163) is immediately exited, and if it is not changing (yes in S130), a change stop command is issued. After setting (S131), the normal operation status is set to "3", and other processing is performed (S133), and the normal symbol changing process (S163) is exited.

  When the normal symbol determination process (S165) is executed in the normal operation process (S16) shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the hit flag is “ON” as shown in FIG. 17, that is, the normal symbol. It is determined whether or not the counter value is an odd number (S220). If the hit flag is not “ON” (no in S220), the normal operation status is set to “1” and the normal symbol determination process (S165) is exited. In addition, when the winning flag is “ON” (Yes in S220), if the probability change or the time is short (Yes in S221), the lower start winning opening 14B is movable with the specifications of the probability change and the time reduction. A special opening operation command for opening the wings 14C and 14C is set (S223). When the probability change or the time is not short, that is, in the normal gaming state (no in S221), the lower start winning opening with the normal specification A normal opening operation command for opening the movable blades 14C and 14C of 14B is set (S224). Then, after setting the normal operation status to “4”, the normal symbol determination process (S165) is exited. The opening operation of the movable wings 14C and 14C is played by the set of these commands.

  When the normal electric accessory (electric support) process (S166) is executed in the normal operation process (S16) shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the normal hit end flag is “ON” as shown in FIG. (S230). The normal hit end flag is used to determine whether or not the opening operation of the movable blades 14C and 14C for several seconds has ended. When the normal hit end flag is “ON” ( Yes in S230), it means that the end of the opening operation of the movable blades 14C, 14C has been confirmed. In this case, the normal hit end flag is set to “OFF” (S240), and the normal hit flag is set to “OFF”. (S241) Furthermore, after the normal operation status is set to "1", the normal electric accessory (electric support) process (S166) is exited.

  When the normal hit end flag is not “ON” (no in S230), that is, when the movable blades 14C and 14C are being opened, the movable blades 14C and 14C of the lower start winning opening 14B are opened. Is checked, that is, whether or not electric support (hereinafter abbreviated as “electric support” as appropriate) is performed (S231). When the movable wings 14C and 14C of the lower start winning opening 14B are in an open state (yes in S231), the opening operation of the movable wings 14C and 14C is started and then the predetermined lower start is started. It is checked whether or not the mouth closing time has elapsed (S234), and when the lower starting port closing time has elapsed (yes in S234), the movable wings 14C and 14C are closed and the lower starting winning port 14B is closed. (S235), the open counter is decremented by 1 (S236).

  This opening counter is for counting the number of times the movable blades 14C and 14C are opened. In the opening pattern of the movable blades 14C and 14C when the normal symbol counter value is winning during probability change or time reduction, the movable blades Since the opening operation of opening 14C and 14C is repeated three times, when the movable blades 14C and 14C are opened three times, the opening counter becomes “0”, and the movable blade when the normal symbol counter value is normal during normal game In the opening pattern of 14C and 14C, the opening operation for opening the movable blades 14C and 14C is performed once. Therefore, when the movable blades 14C and 14C are opened once, the opening counter becomes “0”. When the release counter reaches “0” (Yes in S237), it is determined that the opening operation of the movable blades 14C and 14C is completed, the normal hit end process (S238) is performed, and the normal hit end flag is turned ON. After this (after setting), the normal electric accessory (electric support) processing (S166) is exited. On the other hand, if the release counter is not “0” (no in S237), the normal electric accessory (electric support) process (S166) is exited without doing anything.

  If the normal hit end flag is not “ON” (no in S230) and the movable wings 14C, 14C of the lower start winning opening 14B are not opened (no in S231), the lower start opening is opened. If it is during the current time (yes in S232), the movable wings 14C and 14C are driven to open the lower start winning opening 14B (S233), and then this ordinary electric accessory (electric support) processing (S166) ).

  Further, the normal hit end flag is not “ON” (no in S230), the movable wings 14C and 14C of the lower start winning opening 14B are not opened (no in S231), and the lower start opening is closed. If it is not during the time (no in S232), the normal electric accessory (electric support) process (S166) is exited without doing anything. The above is the description of the normal operation process (S16) shown in FIG. When the predetermined condition is satisfied by the normal operation process (S16), the movable blades 14C and 14C are in an open / close operation. This state is referred to as an “electric support” state. In this embodiment, as will be described in detail later, the process related to the continuous notice differs depending on whether the state is the “electric support” state.

  Subsequent to the normal operation process (S16) shown in FIG. 7, a special operation process (S17) is performed. The special operation process (S17) is a process for controlling the display of the display device 13.

  The main control board 50 directly controls the normal symbol display unit 20 and the movable wings 14C and 14C without using the sub control board 52 by the above-described normal operation process (S16). The display device 13 is indirectly controlled through the sub-control board 52 by the special operation process (S17) to be described.

  This special operation process (S17) is shown in FIG. 19, and, similar to the normal operation process (S16), the display state of the display device 13 is divided into four states, and these states are designated as “special operation status 1”. , 2, 3, 4 ”. When the “special operation status” is “1” (Yes in S171), the special symbol standby process (S172) is performed, and when the “special operation status” is “2” (No in S171, S173). Yes), special symbol variation processing (S174) is performed, and when the "special action status" is "3" (both S171 and S173 are both no, and S175 is yes), special symbol confirmation processing (S176) is performed. When the “special operation status” is “4” (no in S171, S173, and S175), the special electric accessory processing (S177) is performed.

  When the special symbol standby process (S172) is executed in the special operation process (S17) shown in FIG. 19, the number of reserved balls (that is, the special figure 2 reserved balls) of the lower start winning opening 14B is “ Whether or not “0” is checked (S202). Special figure 2 When the number of reserved balls is “0” (yes in S202), that is, when there is no memory of various counter values acquired due to winning at the lower start winning opening 14B, It is checked whether or not the number of reserved balls (that is, the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1) at the start winning opening 14A is “0” (S212).

  Then, when the number of reserved balls in FIG. 1 is “0”, that is, there is no storage of various counter values acquired due to winning at the upper start winning opening 14A or the lower starting winning opening 14B (S202). (Yes in S212 and yes in S212), it is checked whether or not the display on the display screen 34 is a standby screen (S208). If the standby screen is displayed (Yes in S208), the process immediately exits (S172). On the other hand, when the standby screen is not displayed (no in S208), the standby screen setting process (S209) is performed, and then the process (S172) is exited.

  On the other hand, when the number of reserved balls in FIG. 2 is not “0” (no in S202), that is, when there are one or more stored various counter values acquired due to winning at the lower start winning opening 14B The special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S203), the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern selection process (S205), the special figure 2 random number shift process (S206), and the special figure 2 fluctuation start setting (S207) described below are performed. Is called. In other words, until the number of reserved balls in the special figure 2 reaches 0, the processing for the special figure 2 (S203 to 207) is performed, and the reserved balls in the special figure 2 are preferentially digested.

  The special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S203) determines whether or not the "big hit game" can be executed. Further, by executing this special figure 2 big hit determination process (S203) and a special figure 1 big hit determination process (S213) to be described later, the CPU 51A functions as the "win / fail determination means" according to the present invention. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, first, as the determination value, various random number values held in the lowest counter value storage area R10 of the RAM 51B (that is, the RAM area corresponding to the first hold in FIG. 2) are stored. After being loaded, the jackpot determination random number counter value (label-TRND-A) is read (S310). Next, the address of the jackpot determination value table is set (S311), and as shown in Table 4 below, for example, “3” and “397” are set as the jackpot comparison values in the non-probability variation state, and the probability variation For example, “3”, “53”, “113”, “173”, “227”, “281”, “337”, “397”, “449”, “503” are set as the big hit comparison values in the state. For example, “101” to “130” are set as the small hit comparison values.

  Next, it is checked whether or not the probability variation state (the probability variation flag is ON) (S312). If the probability variation state is present (yes in S312), the big hit determination random number counter value (label -TRND-A) is obtained. Based on whether or not any of “3”, “53”, “113”, “173”, “227”, “281”, “337”, “397”, “449”, “503” Then, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S315). On the other hand, in the case of a non-stochastic fluctuation state (no in S312), whether or not the big hit is based on whether or not the big hit determination random number counter value (label-TRND-A) coincides with “3” or “397”. It is determined whether or not (S313). In any case, if it is determined that “a big hit” (yes in S313, yes in S315), the big hit flag stored in the RAM 51B is turned on (S314).

  If it is determined that “it is not a big hit” (no in S313 and no in S315), then the big hit determination random number counter value (label-TRND-A) is any one of “101” to “130”. It is determined whether or not a small hit is made based on whether or not they match (S316, S318). When it is determined that “it is a small hit” (yes in S316 and yes in S318), the small hit flag stored in the RAM 51B is turned on (S317, S319), and “not a small hit” is determined. If so (NO in S313 and NO in S315), the process exits (S203). The above is the description of the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S203).

  As shown in FIG. 20, after the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S203), a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern creation process (S205) is executed. The special figure 2 variation pattern creation process (S205) is shown in FIG. 22, and first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is normal (the probability variation flag is off) (S330). If it is determined that it is normal (not a probability variation state) (Yes in S330), it is subsequently determined whether the time is short (S331), and if it is determined that the time is short (Yes in S331), the time counter Is decremented by 1 (S332). Then, it is determined whether or not the hour / hour counter is 0 (S333). If the hour / hour counter is 0 (yes in S333), the hour / hour flag is turned off (S334).

  Subsequent to step S334, if it is determined that the time is short (no in S331) and if the time counter is not 0 (no in S333), it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is on ( S335). When the big hit flag is ON (Yes in S335), that is, when the determination result is “big hit”, the variation mode determination random number counter value is determined from the normal state hit column of the fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 49). The variation pattern 1 or 2 is selected based on (label-TRND-T1) (S336).

  If the big hit flag is not ON (NO in S335), it is next determined whether or not the small hit flag is ON (S337). When the small hit flag is ON (Yes in S337), that is, when the determination result is “small hit”, the variation pattern is changed from the normal small hit column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 49). 9 is selected (S341).

  If the small hit flag is not ON (no in S337), it is then determined whether or not the reach presence / absence determination random number counter (label-TRND-RC) is a reach-achieving random number (S338). Then, reach reach determination random number counter value (label-TRND-RC) is set to reach reach random number values “5”, “17”, “28”, “40”, “51”, “63”, “74”, “ 86, “97”, “109”, “120” (Yes in S338), that is, if the determination result is “outreach”, the fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 49) One of the fluctuation patterns 3 to 5 is selected based on the random number counter value for determining the fluctuation mode (label-TRND-T1) from the column with the reach in the normal state (S339).

  If the reach random number does not match the reach random number value (no in S338), that is, if the determination result is “out”, the reach of the fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 49) in the normal state. One of the fluctuation patterns 6 to 8 is selected based on the fluctuation mode determination random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) from the absence column (S340).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the gaming state is not normal (the probability variation state) (no in S330), the same processing as steps S335 to 341 described above is performed except that the variation pattern table to be referred to becomes a probability variation table ( Since S342 to 348) are performed, the description is omitted. Note that one of the variation patterns 11 to 20 is selected from the probability variation state column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 49) based on the variation mode determination random number counter value (label-TRND-T1).

  When the variation pattern is selected, other processing (S349) is performed, and then this processing (S205) is exited. In the other processing (S349), a variation pattern command corresponding to the selected variation pattern is set in the output buffer of the RAM 51B. Then, the fluctuation pattern command set in the output buffer of the RAM 51B is output to the sub-control board 52 and the like in the output process (S10) described above.

  As shown in FIG. 20, a special figure 2 random number shift process (S206) is performed following the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern creation process (S205). This process (S206) is shown in FIG. 23. First, the special figure 2 reserved ball number (the numerical value of the reserved number storage area of the special figure 2 in the RAM 51B) is decremented by 1 (S350). Next, the storage location of the various counter values in the counter value storage area R10 is shifted to the counter value storage area R10 on the lower level (address “0000” side in FIG. 5) (S351). Then, “0” is set in each address space of the uppermost counter value storage area R10 (that is, the RAM area corresponding to the fourth special figure 2 reservation is cleared to 0) (S352), and the process exits (S206).

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the special figure 2 fluctuation start setting (S207) performed after the special figure 2 random number shift process (S206), the special operation status is set to "2" and the fluctuation start command is output to the RAM 51B. Other processing necessary for starting the change of special symbols, such as setting in a buffer, is performed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20, the number of reserved balls in the lower start winning opening 14B (ie, the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2) is “0”, and the number of reserved balls in the upper start winning opening 14A (ie, the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1). ) Is not "0" (yes in S202 and no in S212), that is, if there is one or more of various counter values acquired due to winning at the upper start winning opening 14A, A big hit determination process (S213), a special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S215), a special figure 1 random number shift process (S216), and a special figure 1 fluctuation start setting (S217) are performed. As for special figure 1 big hit determination processing (S213, FIG. 24), special figure 1 random number shift processing (S216, FIG. 27), special figure 1 variation start setting (S217), the process related to special figure 2 is changed to the process related to special figure 1. Except for this, the same processing as the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S203, FIG. 21), the special figure 1 random number shift process (S206, FIG. 23), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start setting (S207, FIG. 20) is performed. I will omit the explanation. The special figure 1 variation pattern creation process (S215) is shown in FIGS. 25 and 26. First, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is normal (the probability variation flag is off) (S360). If it is determined that it is normal (not in the probability variation state) (yes in S360), it is subsequently determined whether the time is short (S361). If it is determined that the time is short (yes in S361), the time counter Is decremented by 1 (S362). Then, it is determined whether or not the hour / hour counter is 0 (S363). If the hour / hour counter is 0 (yes in S363), the hour / hour flag is turned off (S364).

  Following step S364, it is also determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON also when it is determined that the time is short (no in S361) and when the time counter is not 0 (no in S363). (S365). When the big hit flag is ON (Yes in S365), that is, when the determination result is “big hit”, it is determined whether or not the symbol random number value is likely to change by two rounds (S366). That is, whether or not the 2R jackpot is based on whether the jackpot type determination random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) matches either “1” or “9” as shown in Table 5 below. Is determined. If the jackpot type determination random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) is a 2R jackpot (yes in S366), the variation pattern 10 is selected from the 2R probability variation column in the normal state of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 49) ( S368). On the other hand, if it is not 2R big hit (no in S366), the fluctuation pattern 1 or based on the fluctuation mode determining random number counter value (label -TRND-T1) from the normal state hit column of the fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 49). 2 is selected (S367).

  If the big hit flag is not ON (NO in S365), it is then determined whether or not the small hit flag is ON (S369). When the small hit flag is ON (Yes in S369), that is, when the determination result is “small hit”, the variation pattern is changed from the normal small hit column of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 49). 9 is selected (S373).

  If the small hit flag is not ON (NO in S369), it is next determined whether or not the reach random number is a reach-achieved random number (S370). If the reach random number matches the reach-established random value (Yes in S370), that is, if the determination result is “out-going reach”, the fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 49) has a normal state reach. Any one of the variation patterns 3 to 5 is selected from the outlier column based on the random number counter value for variation mode determination (label-TRND-T1) (S371).

  If the reach random number does not match the reach random number value (no in S370), that is, if the determination result is “out”, the reach of the fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 49) in the normal state. Any one of the variation patterns 6 to 8 is selected from the absence / exclusion column based on the variation mode determination random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (S372).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the gaming state is not normal (the probability variation state) (no in S360), the processing is performed in the same manner as steps S365 to 373 except that the variation pattern table to be referenced becomes a probability variation table ( Since S374 to 382) are performed, the description is omitted. Note that one of the variation patterns 11 to 21 is selected from the column of the probability variation state of the variation pattern table (see FIG. 49) based on the variation mode determination random number counter value (label-TRND-T1).

  When the variation pattern is selected, other processing (S383) is performed, and then this processing (S205) is exited. In the other processing (S383), a variation pattern command corresponding to the selected variation pattern is set in the output buffer of the RAM 51B. Then, the fluctuation pattern command set in the output buffer of the RAM 51B is output to the sub-control board 52 and the like in the output process (S10) described above.

  When the special symbol variation processing (S174) is executed in the special operation processing (S17) shown in FIG. 19, first, as shown in FIG. 28, the special diagram 2 variation pattern creation processing (S205, see FIG. 22) and the special symbol variation processing are performed. It is checked whether or not the fluctuation display specified time (fluctuation time) (see FIG. 49) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern set in the fluctuation pattern creation processing in FIG. 1 (see S215, FIG. 25 and FIG. 26) has passed (S261). If it has not elapsed (no in S261), the process immediately exits this process (S174) and continues to display the variation of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C.

  On the other hand, when the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed for the variation time set in accordance with the variation pattern (Yes in S261), the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C that are currently displayed are displayed. After setting the variable stop command for stop display (S262), the special operation status is set to “3” (S264), and other processing (S265) is performed, and then this processing (S174) is exited.

  When the special symbol determination process (S176) is executed in the special operation process (S17) shown in FIG. 19, as shown in FIG. 29, it is first checked whether or not the big hit flag is turned on (whether it is a big hit). (S270). Here, if the big hit flag is not turned on (no in S270), that is, if the determination result is “out”, it is determined whether the small hit flag is turned on (whether it is a small hit). Is checked (S274). When the small hit flag is ON (Yes in S274), the small counter for round hit is set (S275). When the small hit flag is not set (no in S274) and after the round counter for hit (S275) is set, the special operation status is set to “1” (S276). Exit from the confirmation process (S176).

  On the other hand, if the big hit flag is on (Yes in S270), that is, if the determination result is “Win”, it is determined whether the symbol is a 15R probability change or a normal symbol (S271). In other words, as shown in Table 5 above, when the jackpot type determination random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) is the number of reserved figure 1 reserved balls, “0”, “2”, “3”, “4” , “5”, “6”, “7”, “8” (“0” to “9” in the case of the special figure 2 holding ball number) It is determined whether or not it is a big hit. When the big hit type determining random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) is big hit or normal big hit (yes in S271), a round counter per 15R is set (S272). If the big hit type determination random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) is not big hit or normal big hit (no in S271), the 2R probability variation counter is set (S278). The operation counter of the special electric accessory and the table of the round counter (16 rounds) are set, the special operation status is set to “4” (S273), and the special symbol determination process (S176) is exited. Here, the round counter counts the number of “rounds” in the “big hit game”. In this embodiment, the initial value of the round counter is set to “15”.

  When the special electric accessory process (S177) is executed in the special operation process (S17) shown in FIG. 19, the probability variation flag is switched from on to off as shown in FIG. 30 (S280). That is, when the “big hit game” is started, the probability variation state is forcibly ended. Next, it is checked whether or not the big hit end flag is on (S281). When the big hit end flag is not on (no in S281), that is, when “big hit game” is being executed, it is checked whether or not the big winning opening 15 is open based on the release flag ( S282).

  When the special winning opening 15 is open (the open flag is on) (yes in S282), it is checked whether or not the round end condition is satisfied. Specifically, it is checked whether or not 10 game balls have been won in the grand prize opening 15 (S286) and whether or not the round end time (opening time of the big prize opening 15 is 30 seconds) has been reached (S287). The If any of the conditions is met (yes in S286 or yes in S287), a special winning opening closing process (S289) is performed.

  If the round end condition is not satisfied (both S286 and S287 are no), the process immediately exits this process (S177), while if the round end condition is satisfied (yes in either S286 or S287). The process at the end of the round (S289 to S293) is performed.

  That is, in the special winning opening closing process (S289), a special winning opening closing command is also transmitted to the sub-control board 52. Next, after decrementing the round counter by 1 (S290), it is checked whether or not the round counter has become “0” (S291). If the round counter is not “0” (no in S291), that is, If the “big hit game” has not been played up to the maximum round (15 rounds), the process immediately exits (S177). That is, even during the big hit game, when one round is completed, the movable door 15T becomes the “closed position”, and the big prize opening 15 is temporarily closed.

  On the other hand, when the round counter becomes “0” (Yes in S291), that is, when the big hit game is played up to the maximum round (15 rounds), the big hit end process (S292) is performed. In the big hit end process (S292), the big hit random number data stored in the reserved storage area is transmitted to the sub control board 52 together with the big hit end command. Then, after the big hit end flag is turned on (S293), the process exits (S177).

  In step S282, when the big prize opening 15 is closed (open flag is off) (no in S282), whether or not it is time to open the big prize opening 15, that is, whether the big hit action counter is “0” or not. It is checked whether or not (S283). Specifically, it is checked whether or not a predetermined waiting period after the “big hit game” is started or whether a predetermined interval period has elapsed since the end of the previous round. If the time has not elapsed (no in S283), the process exits (S177). On the other hand, if the waiting period or interval period has elapsed (yes in S283), a solenoid is performed by the big prize opening opening process (S285). 15S is excited. That is, when a predetermined time elapses after the start of the “big hit game” or the end of the previous round, the movable door 15T moves from the “closed position” to the “open position” and the big prize opening 15 is opened. The big hit operation counter is a counter that measures the time until the door is opened in the case of an extra big hit.

  In the above step S281, when the big hit end flag is on (yes in S281), that is, when the big hit game is played up to the maximum round (15 rounds), the big hit end flag and the big hit flag are all turned from on to off. (S295, S296), it is checked whether the small hit flag is on (small hit) (S297). If the small hit flag is on (yes in S297), the small hit flag is turned off (S294). ) The process proceeds to step S299. On the other hand, if the small hit flag is off (no in S297), it is checked whether or not the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C that are stopped and displayed are probabilistic symbols (odd ticks) (S284). If it is not a probability variable symbol (no in S284), the hour / hour flag is turned on, the hour / hour counter is set to 100 (S288), and the process proceeds to step S299. On the other hand, if it is a probability variation symbol (Yes in S284), the probability variation flag is switched from OFF to ON (S298), and the process proceeds to step S299. Then, in step S299, the special operation status is set to “1”, and this process (S177) is exited. The above is the description of the special operation process (S17).

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the main control board interrupt process (S5), the reserved ball number process (S18) is performed after the special operation process (S17). This process (S18) is shown in FIG. 31, and the number of retained balls is read from the number of sets of counter value groups stored in the RAM 51B (S180), and the data of the number of retained balls is set in the output buffer of the RAM 51B. (S181).

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the main control board interrupt process (S5), the power-off monitoring process (S19) is performed after the hold ball process (S18). This process (S19) is shown in FIG. 32, and it is determined whether a power-off signal has been input (S190). If it has not been input (no in S190), this power-off monitoring process ends. On the other hand, when the power-off signal is input (Yes in S190), the current data (state) is stored in the RAM 51B of the main control board (S191), and then the power-off flag is turned on (S192). Thereafter, loop processing is performed.

  In the main control board interrupt process (S5), after the power-off monitoring process (S19), another process (S20) not deeply related to the present invention is executed, and the main control board interrupt process (S5) is exited. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, until the next interrupt pulse is input to the CPU 51A, the processing of steps S2 to S4 is repeatedly executed, and again due to the input of the interrupt pulse (after about 4 msec), again the main control board interrupt A process (S5) is performed. Then, as described above, the control data set in the output buffer of the RAM 51B when the main control board interrupt process (S5) was executed last time is the output process of the main control board interrupt process (S5) executed next. Output in (S10).

  The storage area of the RAM 52B provided in the sub control board 52 (see FIG. 4) is also divided into a plurality of address spaces in the same manner as the storage area of the RAM 51B in the main control board 50 (see FIG. 5). ) Is attached. A counter value storage area constituted by a predetermined address space is provided as a data storage unit for various random number counters shown in Table 6. The address space is also used as a data storage unit such as a flag in addition to the update area of the random number counter.

  As described above, the CPU 52A of the sub-control board 52 runs the sub-control board main program PG2 shown in FIG. When the sub control board main program PG2 is run, CPU initialization processing (S50) is performed, stack setting, constant setting, CPU 52A setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time controller) setting, and various flags. In addition, the counter value is reset. When the power supply board 58 is turned on, a power-off signal is transmitted from the power supply board 58 to the sub-control board 52. When the power-off signal is transmitted, it is determined whether the contents of the RAM 52B are normal (S51). If normal (yes in S51), the process proceeds to the next step. If not normal (no in S51), the RAM 52B is initialized and various flags and counter values are reset (S52). The steps S50, S51, and S52 are executed only when the sub-control board main program PG2 is run for the first time after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

  When steps S50, S51, and S52 are completed, the random number seed update process (S53) is repeated infinitely at a predetermined period. Each time the random number seed update process (S53) is executed, each counter of the “random number counter name” in the above table 3 sets the counter value consisting of a plurality of consecutive integers in the “numerical value range” in the table to 1 ( The counter for determining symbols “Label-TRND-SUB-AZ1” for the non-stochastic state and the counter for determining symbols “Label-TRND-SUB-AZ2” for the non-probability state are incremented by 2) and counted. Then, the count result, that is, the “counter value” is sequentially stored in a predetermined counter value storage area in the address space of the RAM 52B. When the count result of each random number counter reaches the maximum value of the “numerical value range”, the minimum value of the “numerical value range” is counted next. The symbol determination counter “Label-TRND-SUB-AZ2” and the left symbol determination counter “Label-TRND-SUB-B1” at the time of the probability fluctuation state are set to “1” when the power is turned on. The random number counter is reset to “0” when the power is turned on.

  The reception interrupt process (S54), the 2ms timer interrupt process (S55), and the 10ms timer interrupt process (S56) are interrupted and executed for the infinite loop of the random number seed update (S53). The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56) and the sub control board main program PG2 (FIG. 33) correspond to the “second control program” of the present invention. The reception interrupt process (S54) is executed with priority over the other interrupt processes (S55, S56) when the sub-control board 52 receives the strobe signal from the main control board 50. When the reception interrupt process (S54) is executed, as shown in FIG. 34, after confirming the input of the strobe signal (yes in S510), the output process (S10) of the main control board interrupt process (S5) described above. Then, control data transmitted to the sub-control board 52, for example, a variation pattern command is taken in and stored in the primary storage area of the input signal provided in the storage area of the RAM 52B (S511). The control signal is also transmitted from the main control board 50 to the sub-control board 52 when a game ball wins the upper start winning opening 14A and the lower start winning opening 14B. Then, each time the upper start winning port 14A and the lower start winning port 14B win a game ball, the various counter value groups shown in Table 3 are stored (stored) in the counter value storage area of the RAM 52B. In the counter value storage area, random value groups are stored (stored) corresponding to the above-described four reserved spheres of FIG. 1 and four reserved spheres of FIG.

  The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S55) is shown in FIG. 35, and is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a 2 ms period is input to the sub control board 52. In this process (S55), a lamp data output process (S550) for outputting the lamp data to the driver is executed.

  The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56) is shown in FIG. 36, and is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a 10 ms period is input to the sub-control board 52. In this process (S56), first, a lower dish status confirmation process (S560) is executed. In this process (S560), it is determined whether or not the lower plate full sensor has detected fullness. If the lower plate full sensor has detected fullness, commands such as lamp and voice are set. Next, a loop scenario resetting process (S561) is performed in which a control process such as a customer waiting screen (standby screen) is repeated at a constant cycle.

  Then, command monitoring processing (S550) is executed. This command monitoring process (S562) is performed on all the commands received by the sub control board 52 from other boards such as the main control board 50 in the reception interrupt process and stored in the buffer, and the command is analyzed. Then, processing corresponding to the command is performed to create a command to be transmitted to each control board. Specifically, when the command monitoring process (S562) is executed, as shown in FIG. 37, first, it is determined whether or not the received command is a special figure 1 winning command (S600). If it is a winning command (Yes in S600), a special figure 1 continuous notice lottery process (S601) for determining whether or not to give a notice for the special figure 1 winning ball is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 38, when the special figure 1 continuous notice lottery process (S601) is executed, it is determined whether or not there is no electric support (the movable wings 14C and 14C of the lower start winning port 14B are closed) (S710). ), If there is no power support (Yes in S710), it is determined that continuous notice is not being made (S711). If it is not during continuous notice (yes in S711), a special notice lottery table dedicated to Special Figure 1 (corresponding to the “notice data table” of the present invention) is designated (S712). The continuous notice lottery table dedicated to the special figure 1 is shown in FIG.

  Here, the numbers such as “70”, “80”, “40”, etc. in the continuous notice lottery table dedicated to the special figure 1 in FIG. 10 are values that the random number counter for the notice lottery “label-TRND-SUB-Y” can take. It is the number of random numbers assigned from 0 to 99. The sum of the numerical groups in the horizontal row described in the continuous notice lottery table dedicated to the special figure 1 of FIG. 1 is a value from 0 to 99 that can be taken by the random number counter for the notice lottery “Label-TRND-SUB-Y”. The total number is “100”. Specifically, in the same figure, in the continuous notice lottery table dedicated to Special Figure 1, “Special Figure 1 Winning Command 1” is, for example, “Horse” and “Special Figure 1 Reservation Number” is “Holding 4”. The sum of “5”, “5”, “30”, “10”, and “50” is the total number of values 0 to 99 that the random number counter for notice lottery “Label-TRND-SUB-Y” can take. It is “100”. Then, in the figure, “Special Figure 1 Winning Command 1” in the special notice lottery table dedicated to Special Figure 1 is, for example, “Correct”, “Special Figure 1 Hold Number” is “Hold 4”, and the number of notices is “× 4 times”. "50" in the column of "" indicates that "50" numbers are assigned among the values 0 to 99 that the random number counter for notice lottery "Label-TRND-SUB-Y" can take. means. In other words, these numbers are also the probabilities that the number of consecutive notices will be “1”, “2”, “3” or “4” in a predetermined state. . Specifically, the “special figure 1 winning command 1” is “winning”, that is, the counter value obtained by winning the upper start winning opening 14A is win, and the “special figure 1 holding number” at that time is “winning”. In the case of “4”, a continuous notice with the number of notices “4 times” is selected with a probability of 50%. Then, in the following steps S713 to S719, any continuous notice mode is determined from the special notice lottery table dedicated to FIG. That is, in this embodiment, the “continuous notice selection unit” of the present invention is configured by the CPU 52A that executes the following steps S713 to S719. Also, the “continuous notice selection means” of the present invention is configured by the CPU 52A that performs the same processing and executes steps S732 to S742 described later.

  That is, when the special notice lottery table dedicated to special figure 1 is selected (S712), it is next determined whether or not the winning command is reach (S713). If it is reach (yes in S713), continuous figure dedicated to special figure 1 is determined. The “reach” column of the notice lottery table is selected (set) (S714). On the other hand, if it is not reach (no in S713), it is determined whether or not the winning command is a big hit (S715), and if it is a big win (yes in S715), the “hit” column in the special notice lottery table dedicated to special figure 1 is selected ( Set) (S716). If it is not a big hit (no in S715), the “off” column of the continuous notice lottery table dedicated to the special figure 1 is selected (set) (S717). Then, the presence / absence, type, number, etc. of continuous notice are determined in accordance with the value of the notice lottery random number counter “label-TRND-SUB-Y” assigned to the table corresponding to the current number of reserved special figure 1 balls ( S718). When the continuous notice is won (Yes in S719), an output command such as a notice sound for notifying the player that the player has been won is set (S720). If the continuous notice is not won (No in S719), the process exits (S601) without doing anything. If there is an electric support (no in S710) or during continuous notice (no in S711), this process (S601) is terminated. That is, during the electric support in which the movable blade 14C is opened, the continuous notice is not performed even if the top start winning opening 14A is won or not continuously noticed.

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, if the received command is not the special figure 1 winning command (no in S600), it is determined whether or not the command is the special figure 2 winning command (S602). If it is a special figure 2 winning command (yes in S602), a special figure 2 continuous notice lottery process (S603) for determining whether or not to give a notice for the special figure 2 winning ball is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 39, when the special figure 2 continuous notice lottery process (S603) is executed, it is determined whether or not there is electric support (the movable wings 14C and 14C of the lower start winning port 14B are open) (S730). ), If it is in a state where there is electric support (Yes in S730), it is determined that continuous notice is not in progress (S731). If it is not during continuous notice (yes in S731), it is determined whether the time is short (S732), and if it is short in time (yes in S732), the special notice 2 dedicated short-time continuous notice lottery table ("notice data table of the present invention") ”Is set (S733), and if the time is not short (NO in S732), a special notice lottery special lottery table for special figure 2 is set (S734). The continuous notice lottery table (corresponding to the “notice data table” of the present invention) of the special figure 2 dedicated short-time and special figure 2 specific change is shown in FIG. 50 (B) and FIG. 50 (C), In the same manner as the special notice lottery table for exclusive use of the special figure 1 described above, for the special figure 2 winning command and the special figure 2 reserved ball number, the random number counter for the notice lottery “Label-TRND-SUB-Y” for each successive notice number. "0 to 99" are allocated (the allocation ratio is shown instead of a specific counter value).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the winning command is reach (S735), and if it is reach (yes in S735), the special notice 2 special short-time or special figure 2 special probability change continuous notice lottery table set in the above step S733 or S744 is set. The “reach” field is set (S736). On the other hand, if it is not reach (no in S735), it is determined whether or not the winning command is a big hit (S737), and if it is a big win (yes in S737), the special time chart for special figure 2 or special figure 2 set in step S733 or S744 above. The “hit” column of the special notice variation continuous notice lottery table is set (S738). If it is not a big hit (no in S737), the “off” column of the continuous notice lottery table for the special figure 2 special short-time or special figure 2 special probability change set in step S733 or S744 is set (S739).

  Then, the presence / absence, type, number, etc. of continuous notice are determined in accordance with the value of the notice lottery random number counter “label-TRND-SUB-Y” assigned to the table corresponding to the current number of reserved special figure 2 balls ( S740).

  When the continuous notice is won (Yes in S741), a notice sound (puipy sound) for notifying the player that the player has been won is set (S742). If the continuous notice is not won (No in S741), this process (S603) is exited without doing anything. If there is no electric support (no in S730) or during continuous notice (no in S731), this process (S603) is terminated. In this embodiment, the CPU 52A executing the special figure 1 continuous notice lottery process (S601) and the special figure 2 continuous notice lottery process (S603), the speaker 56S controlled by the CPU 52A, and the notice notification lamp 24L The “continuous notice effect means” of the invention is configured. Further, according to the configuration of the above flowchart, in the present embodiment, when the movable blade 14C is open (with electric support), the winning to the lower start winning port 14B among the upper and lower start winning ports 14A and 14B is made. In the state where the movable wing 14C is closed (without electric support), only the winning to the upper starting winning port 14A among the upper and lower upper starting winning ports 14A and 14B can be continuously notified. ing. Further, during the continuous notice, the continuous notice is not repeated.

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, if the received command is not a special figure 2 winning command (no in S602), it is determined whether or not the command is a special figure 1 variation pattern command (S604). ), If it is a special figure 1 variation pattern command (yes in S604), a variation pattern selection process (S605) for selecting an effect corresponding to the variation pattern command is performed, and a symbol selection process (S606) is performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, when the symbol selection process (S606) is executed, it is determined whether the command is a hit command (per non-probability variation state) or a normal symbol command (S420), and the hit command and the normal symbol command are used. If present (yes in S420), the normal symbol random value (the value of the symbol determining random number counter “TRND-SUB-AZ1” per non-stochastic variation state) is acquired, and the random number acquired as the left, middle, and right symbols A numerical design is set (even numbered eyes) (S421).

  If the command is not a hit command (no in S420), it is determined whether the command is a 2R probability change command or a small hit change command (S422), and if it is a 2R probability change command or a small hit change command (yes in S422). ), 1 is set to the left symbol, 3 is set to the middle symbol, and 5 is set to the right symbol (chance) (S423).

  If the command is not a 2R probability variation command or a small hit variation command (no in S422), it is determined whether the command is a hit variation command or a 15R probability variation symbol command (S424). (Yes in S424), the probability random symbol value (the value of the random number counter for determining symbols “TRND-SUB-AZ2” per probability variation state) is acquired, and the random number value symbol obtained as the left, middle, and right symbols Is set (odd alignment) (S425).

  If it is not a hit variation command or a 15R probability variation symbol command (no in S424), it is determined whether it is a reach variation command (S426). If it is a reach variation command (yes in S426), the left symbol random number value (left symbol determination) Random number counter “label TRND-SUB-B1”) is acquired and set to the left and right symbols, and the left symbol determining random number counter (label TRND-SUB-B1) is incremented by one. (S427).

  If the command is not a reach variation command (no in S426), the left symbol random value (the value of the left symbol determining random number counter “label TRND-SUB-B1”) and the loss symbol selecting random number counter (label TRND−) The value of SUB-C) is acquired, and the corresponding left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol are set based on the lost symbol creation table (see FIG. 51) (S428).

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, the special figure 1 change pre-process (S607) is executed following the symbol selection process (S6106).

  As shown in FIG. 40, when the special figure 1 fluctuation pre-processing (S607) is executed, whether the special figure 1 start port buffer is larger than 0 (the special figure 1 holding ball number recognized by the sub-control board 52 is If it is greater than 0 (yes in S750), the special figure 1 start port buffer is shifted in the direction of 1 subtraction (S751). If the special figure 1 start port buffer is 0 (no in S750), this process (S607) is terminated.

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, the fluctuation P process (S608) is executed following the special figure 1 fluctuation pre-processing (S607).

  As shown in FIG. 42, when the variation P process (S608) is executed, it is determined whether there is a continuous notice (S910). If there is a continuous notice (yes in S910), the continuous notice is set (S911). . If there is no continuous notice (no in S910), other notices are selected and set (S912).

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, the post-change process (S609) of the special figure 1 is executed following the change P process (S608).

  As shown in FIG. 43, when the special figure 1 post-change process (S609) is executed, it is first determined whether the special figure 1 continuous notice counter is 0 (S820), and if not (0 in S820). The special figure 1 continuous notice counter is decremented by 1 (S821). If the special figure 1 continuous notice counter value is 0 (no in S820), the process proceeds to the next process (S822). In step S822, it is determined again whether the special figure 1 continuous notice counter value is 0 (S822). If it is 0 (yes in S822), the special figure 1 continuous notice effect state is cleared (S823). If the special figure 1 continuous notice counter value is not 0 (no in S822), the process proceeds to the next process (S824).

  Subsequently, in step S824, the internal hold state of FIG. 1 is shifted (S824), an offset is set in accordance with the internal hold state, and the error flag is set to ON (S825). Then, it is determined whether or not the internal hold state of the special figure 1 matches the current special figure 1 hold number (S826). If it matches (yes in S826), the error flag is set to OFF and the hold state is stored in the RAM 52B. Then, a hold command is transmitted (S828). On the other hand, if the internal reserved state in FIG. 1 does not match the current number of reserved FIG. 1 (No in S826), the process exits (S609).

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, if the received command is not a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern command (no in S604), it is determined whether or not the command is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern command ( If it is a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern command (Yes in S610), a fluctuation pattern selection process (S611) for selecting an effect corresponding to the fluctuation pattern command is performed, and a symbol selection process (S612) is performed. Here, since the variation pattern selection process (S611) and the symbol selection process (S612) are the same as the variation pattern selection process (S605) and the symbol selection process (S606) described above, description thereof will be omitted.

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, a special figure 2 fluctuation pre-process (S613) is executed following the symbol selection process (S612).

  As shown in FIG. 44, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pre-processing (S613) is executed, it is first determined whether or not there is electric support (a state where the lower start opening blades are easy to open) (S830), and there is no electric support. If it is a state (no in S830), the process proceeds to the next process (S832). On the other hand, if there is a power support state (Yes in S830), the special figure 1 continuous notice and the number of special figure 1 continuous notices are cleared (S831). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 start port buffer is larger than 0 (the special figure 2 holding ball number recognized by the sub-control board 52 is larger than 0) (S832), and if larger than 0 (yes in S832). ), Shift the special figure 2 starting port buffer in the direction of 1 subtraction. If the special figure 2 start port buffer is 0 (no in S833), the process (S613) is terminated.

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, the fluctuation P process (S614) is executed following the special figure 2 fluctuation pre-processing (S613). Here, since the variation P process (S614) performs the same process as the variation P process (S608) described above, the description thereof is omitted. Then, following the fluctuation P process (S614), a special figure 2 fluctuation post-process (S610) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 45, when the special figure 2 variation post-process (S615) is executed, first, it is determined whether the special figure 2 continuous notice counter is 0 (S840), and if not (0 in S840). The special figure 2 continuous notice counter is decremented by 1 (S841). If the special figure 2 continuous notice counter value is 0 (no in S840), the process proceeds to the next process (S842). In step 842, it is determined again whether the special figure 2 continuous notice counter value is 0 (S842). If it is 0 (yes in S842), the special figure 2 continuous notice effect state is cleared (S843). If the special figure 2 continuous notice counter value is not 0 (no in S842), the process proceeds to the next process (S844).

  Subsequently, in step S844, the internal hold state in FIG. 2 is shifted (S844), an offset is set in accordance with the internal hold state, and the error flag is set to ON (S845). Then, it is determined whether or not the internal hold state of the special figure 2 matches the current special figure 2 hold number (S846). If it matches (yes in S846), the error flag is set to OFF and the hold state is stored in the RAM 52B. Then, a hold command is transmitted (S848). On the other hand, if the internal reserved state of the special figure 2 does not match the current special figure 2 reserved number (no in S846), the process exits (S615).

  In the present embodiment, the above-described special-figure 2 variation pattern creation process (S205) and special-figure 1 variation described in the processing of the CPU 52A of the sub-control board 52 that executes steps S604 to S615 and the main control board 50 described above. The “display control means” of the present invention is configured by the CPU 51A of the main control board 50 that executes the pattern creation processing (S215).

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, if the received command is not a special figure 2 variation pattern command (no in S610), it is determined whether or not the command is a special figure 1 pending command (S616). ), If it is a special figure 1 hold command (yes in S616), special figure 1 hold ball processing (S617) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 46, when the special figure 1 holding ball process (S617) is executed, the number of reserved pieces received and the reception of the special figure 1 start opening winning buffer (the buffer on which the sub-side manages the number of held balls by a winning command) It is determined whether the number of commands held is correct (S850). If not (No in S850), the number of special figure 1 start slot winning buffers is set according to the command (S851), and the hold command is transmitted and set. (S852).

  In the command monitoring process (S562) of FIG. 37, if the received command is not the special figure 1 hold command (no in S616), it is determined whether or not the command is the special figure 2 hold command (S618). If it is a special figure 2 hold command (yes in S618), special figure 2 hold ball processing (S619) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 47, when the special figure 2 holding ball process (S619) is executed, the number of holdings and reception of the special figure 2 start opening winning buffer (the buffer on which the sub-side manages the number of held balls by a winning command). Judgment is made whether the number of pending commands is correct (S860), and if not (No in S860), the number of special figure 2 starting port winning buffers is set according to the command (S861), and the pending command is transmitted and set. (S862).

  In the command monitoring process (S562) in FIG. 37, if the received command is not the special figure 2 pending command (no in S618), the process corresponding to the other command is executed (S620).

  In the 10 ms timer interruption process (S56) of FIG. 36, the lamp process (S563) is executed after the command monitoring process (S562). This process (S563) is shown in FIG. 48, and executes a process of creating output ramp data. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the timer is 0 (S410). If it is 0 (yes in S410), the lamp data is set (S411). On the other hand, if the timer is not 0 (no in S410), the timer is decremented by 1, and the lamp data is set to be completely extinguished (S412).

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56), after the ramp process (S563), a counter process (S564) for updating each random number counter is executed, and then in each process described above, the sub control board 52 is executed. A command transmission process (S565) for transmitting a command (control signal) or the like set in an output buffer provided in the RAM 52B to the corresponding lamp control board 55, voice control board 56, or the like is executed. Then, the process exits from the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S56).

  The description regarding the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is as described above. Next, the function and effect of this embodiment will be described. When a game is played by operating the operation knob 28 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game balls flow down the game area YR, and some of them pass through the start gate 18, Wins the upper start winning opening 14A. When the game ball passes through the start gate 18, the normal symbol display unit 20 is displayed in a variable manner and then stopped. When the stop display is an odd number, the movable wing 14C is opened and the lower start winning opening 14B is displayed. You can also win a prize. Then, when a game ball wins each start winning opening 14A, 14B, a right / no-go determination right is issued, and it is determined whether or not “winning game” (game in which the movable door 15T is opened) is performed. Then, after the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are variably displayed, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped and displayed, and the pass / fail determination result is displayed by the stopped and displayed special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C. Then, the result is determined to be “displaced” or any one of the four types shown in Table 1, and a game is played accordingly.

  Here, if the game ball wins at any of the upper and lower start winning openings 14A, 14B while the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are being displayed or during the execution of the “winning” game, the right / no-go judgment right generated at that time Is not digested, and up to four are reserved for each start winning opening 14A, 14B. And between the right / left determination rights generated by winning at the upper start winning opening 14A, the right / left determination rights are digested in the oldest order, and even between the right / left determination rights generated by winning at the lower start winning opening 14B. The right and wrong judgment right is digested in order.

  A right / no-go determination right generated by winning the lower start winning opening 14B between a right / no-go determination right generated by winning the upper start winning opening 14A and a right / no-go determining right generated by winning the lower start winning opening 14B. Prioritize digestion. This clearly separates the processing of the right / no-go determination right generated by winning the upper start winning opening 14A and the right / left determination right generated by winning the lower starting winning opening 14B. Then, as shown in Table 5, the hits based on the right / no-go determination right generated by winning at the upper start winning opening 14A are “per 15 rounds without normal change (normal win)” and “per 15 rounds with positive change (15R big hit). ”And“ per 2 rounds with probability change (per 2R) ”, but when the right / no-go judgment right generated by winning at the lower start prize opening 14B is digested,“ per 15 rounds without normal change (per normal) ” ”And“ 15 rounds with certainty (15R big hit) ”are distinguished, so that the player can be interested in the right to determine whether or not to hold the game and provide an innovative game that has never existed before It becomes possible to do.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, for the right / left determination right held after the occurrence, the determination result is notified before the determination result is notified by the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C stopped and displayed. A plurality of continuous notices for prediction are performed every time the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed. Specifically, at each timing when the special symbols 13A, 13B1, and C are started to be displayed in a variable manner, the notification lamp 24L is turned on, and a notification sound (for example, a sound “puipy”) is output from the speakers 56S and 56S. By doing. That is, when the continuous notice is performed, the change display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C accompanied by the notice sound and the light effect that are not normally output is continuously repeated. Thereby, the player can have a sense of expectation for the big hit.

  In addition, the number of consecutive times related to the continuous notice is not constant and is selected randomly from each lottery table shown in FIG. In this way, since the success / failure determination result is not necessarily a hit when the continuous notice is given, the interest is maintained until the success / failure determination result is notified by the stop display of the specific symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C after the continuous notice. Can be made. Further, the continuous notice is performed with a high frequency when the future success / failure determination result is a hit, and is performed with a very low frequency when the future success / failure determination result is out of sight. As a result, the player's expectation can be expanded because the continuous notice is given, and the player is not bored.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 50, the maximum number of consecutive notices relating to each winning at the start winning opening 14A, 14B is four times, but continuous notice is given for winning at the upper starting winning opening 14A. During this time, a variation display for determining whether or not the winning of the lower start winning opening 14B is won is interrupted. At this time, the notice of one continuous notice given at the time of the variable display of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C immediately before the interruption is repeatedly performed after the interruption. As a result, the number of continuous notices fluctuates and can increase to 5 or more. And the player has a sense of expectation for the big hit as the number of times increases. Further, when the continuous notice is being executed, the continuous notice is ended, so that it is possible to avoid a situation in which the continuous notice is duplicated and confused.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the main control board 50 makes a determination as to whether or not to give a notice to the decision random numbers acquired when winning the start winning openings 14A and 14B, and displays the result of the decision as to whether or not the notice is made. Since the main control board 50 outputs to the sub control board 52 and the sub control board 52 determines whether or not to perform the continuous notice and performs the effect control of the continuous notice, the processing load for performing the continuous notice is the main load. The CPU 51A of the control board 50 and the CPU 52A of the sub-control board 52 are distributed to increase the processing speed.
