If there is a second start memory, the second special figure fluctuation display game is played even if the first start memory is present. Executed. However, during the execution of the first special figure fluctuation display game, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed after the game ends. That is, when the game control device 30 has the second start memory in the second start memory means (game control device 30), the variable display game based on the second start memory is displayed as the variable display based on the first start memory. Priority control means for executing with priority over the game.

A special figure (special symbol, identification information) variable display game as an auxiliary game is executed by a special figure display 9 provided in the game area 1a, and after a plurality of identification information is displayed in a variable manner. This is performed by stopping and displaying a predetermined result mode. In addition, a decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to a special figure variation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 is executed. . As a result of the special figure variation display game, when the display mode of the special figure display 9 becomes a special result mode (for example, “3”), it becomes a big hit and a special gaming state (so-called big hit state). It becomes. Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “3, 3, 3”). Note that the special-figure display game may be executed only by the display device 43 without providing the special-figure display 9 in the gaming machine 100.
If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied (if it is a specific special result mode (probability variation pattern)), the probability state is changed to a probable state after the special game state is finished. And so on. In addition, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display, regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. When a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game in the probability variation state, the first special diagram variation is performed regardless of whether or not the special result mode is associated with the establishment of a predetermined condition. Both the display game and the second special figure variation display game are once in the normal probability state. And when it is a special result aspect accompanied by establishment of predetermined conditions, it will be in a probability change state again after completion | finish of a special game state. In the case of a special result mode (normal symbol) that is not accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal probability state is maintained as it is even after the special game state is ended.

Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has not occurred (step S7; No), the process returns to the above-described processing for prohibiting interruption (step S4), and thereafter the power supply is shut off. If not, the process for prohibiting interruption (step S4) repeatedly determines whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has occurred (step S7; Yes), a power failure process (step S8) is performed. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power that can execute the processing when the power failure occurs.

  In the power failure process (step S8), first, a process for prohibiting interruption is performed. And the process which turns off all the output ports is performed, and the process which clears a power failure inspection area | region is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area, performing the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off, and performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM 31c, the gaming machine Wait for the power to turn off. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in this timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step S10) is performed. Next, processing of input from various sensors (starting port SW7d, gate SW4a, winning port SW12a, 12a,..., Count SW10c, glass frame opening SW146, inner frame opening SW121, etc.) and output data set in various processing On the basis of the above, an input / output process (step S11) for performing an output process for controlling the driving of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, open / close SOL7b) is performed.

  Next, a command transmission process (step S12) is performed for outputting the command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the effect control device 40 and the like. And a random number for determining the big hit for determining the hit of the special figure variation display game, the random number for determining the big hit of the special figure changing display game, Random number update processing 1 (step S13) for updating the winning random number is performed. Next, an initial value random number update process (step S14) for updating the initial value of the random number and breaking the temporal regularity of the random number is performed.

  Next, a random number update process 2 (step S15) is performed for updating a fluctuation pattern random number for determining a fluctuation pattern in the decorative special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game. Next, a winning port for monitoring whether or not a signal is input from the start port SW7d, the gate SW4a, the winning ports SW12a, 12a,..., The count SW 10c (whether or not a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input). A switch monitoring process (step S16) is performed. Then, an error monitoring process (step S17) for monitoring each signal and an error is performed, a special figure game process (step S18) for performing a process related to the special figure variation display game, and a general game for performing a process regarding the general map variation display game. Processing (step S19) is performed.

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step S20) that is provided in the gaming machine 100 and performs a process related to the segment LED that displays various information related to the game is performed. Then, an external information editing process (step S21) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, an interrupt end declaration process (step S22) is performed, a process for restoring the saved register data (step S23) is performed, an interrupt permission process (step S24) is performed, and a timer interrupt process is performed. finish.

  And in the game control apparatus 30, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the normal start gate 4 mainly in the normal game process (step S19) among the above processes, A random number value for determining a normal game hit is extracted and compared with a determination value stored in the ROM 31b to perform a process of determining whether or not the normal game fluctuation display game is missed. Then, after the normal identification information is variably displayed on the normal display 5 for a predetermined time, a process of displaying a general variability display game to be stopped is performed. If the result of this normal map change display game is a win, a special result mode (specific result) is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric open / close SOL 7b is operated to open / close member 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 , 7a is controlled as described above for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). When the result of the normal map change display game is out of control, the control of displaying the result form of the shift on the general map display 5 is performed.

  The operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes two operation states, a normal operation state (first operation state) and a short-time operation state (second operation state). It is supposed to be set. That is, the game control device 30 serves as an operation state setting means for setting the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7. In the normal operation state, the variable display time of the normal variable display game is a first variable display time (for example, 30 seconds). Further, the release mode when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of the normal variation display game being won is the first release time (for example, 0.3 seconds), and the general variation display game is The number of times of opening for one hit result is the first number of times of opening (for example, once). The short-time operation state is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-described normal variation display game is controlled to be a second variation display time shorter than the first variation display time which is a long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, , 0.5 seconds), thereby controlling the number of times of opening of the normally variable winning device 7 per unit time to be substantially increased. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal variation display game, the release time is the second release time (for example, 1 second). The number of times of opening for one hit result of the variable display game is the second number of times of opening (for example, 3 times). In the short-time operation state, the control may be performed such that the probability of the hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than that in the normal operation state. That is, the short-time operation state is a state in which the number of times of opening of the normally variable winning device 7 is increased and the opening time in one opening is extended, and as a result, the opening time per unit time is extended. . This makes it easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7, and the second special figure variation display game can be easily started. That is, the game control device 30 is an operation state in which the operation state of the second start winning opening (ordinary variation winning apparatus 7) is an operation state in which it is easier for the game ball to win the second start winning opening than the other operation states. A second start winning facilitating means for making the second start winning facilitating state is provided.

  Further, in the game control device 30, as will be described in detail later, in the special game processing (step S18), the first start winning port 13, the first starting port SW17 provided in the normal variation winning device 7, the second starting port. Based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the SW 18, a big hit determination random number value for the special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c as a start-up memory up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  Further, at the start of the first and second special figure variation display game based on the start memory, the jackpot determination random number value stored in the start memory is used for the first and second special figure variable display game stored in the ROM 31b. Is compared with the big hit determination value (specific value) of No. 1, and a process of determining a miss of the first and second special figure variation display game is performed. Further, after this processing, 1 is subtracted from the starting memory number. Also, a process for determining a fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation pattern random number is performed. Further, when the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, processing for selecting a special result mode based on the jackpot symbol random number is performed.

  Here, the probability state, which is the probability state in which the special result mode is derived in the first and second special figure variation display games, includes a normal probability state (first probability state) and a probability variation state (second probability state). There are two probability states, and the game control device 30 sets one of the probability states. The probability variation state is a state in which the probability of a jackpot result in the first and second special figure variation display games is higher than the normal probability state. In the normal probability state, a predetermined number of first determination values are set as specific values, and the specific value (first determination value) is compared with a big hit determination random number value. Yes. Also, in the probability variation state, the first determination value and the second determination value different from the first determination value are set as the specific values, and this specific value (first determination value, second determination value) and the jackpot determination random number value Are compared, and if they match, it is determined that the game is a big hit. That is, the probability control means that the game control device 30 can control the probability that the result of the first and second special figure variation display game will be in the special result mode in either the normal probability state or the probability variation state. Make.

  In addition, when a special result is derived in the first and second special figure variation display games and a predetermined condition is satisfied (in the case of a specific special result mode (probability variation pattern)), after the special game state is ended. The probability state is assumed to be a probabilistic state. If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game in the probability state, the normal probability state is temporarily set regardless of whether or not the special result mode is associated with establishment of a predetermined condition. . And when it is a special result aspect accompanied by establishment of predetermined conditions, it will be in a probability change state again after completion | finish of a special game state. In the case of a special result mode (normal symbol) that is not accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal probability state is maintained as it is even after the special game state is ended.

  In addition, as described above, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes a normal operation state and a short-time operation state, and the probability states in the first and second special figure variation display games are a normal probability state and a probability variation state. Therefore, these combinations constitute three game states, a normal game state, a probability variation state, and a short-time game state, and the game control device 30 sets any one game state based on a predetermined condition. It has become. The normal game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the normal operation state, and the probability state of the first and second special figure variable display games is the normal probability state. The probability variation state is a gaming state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state and the probability state of the first and second special figure variation display games is the probability variation state. The short-time game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, and the probability state of the first and second special figure variable display games is the normal probability state. When the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state, the time shortening special feature is obtained by shortening the execution time of the first and second special figure variable display game as the first and second special figure variable display game. The figure change display game is configured to be executable.

  In addition, the game control device 30 determines a jackpot determination random number value, a jackpot symbol random number, a variation pattern random number, or the like stored in the start memory at a predetermined timing (any timing such as a start winning prize). Then, pre-reading processing is performed to determine whether or not the first and second special-figure variable display games have lost or won a big win (special result type) and reach. The results of these determinations are transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 as result information.

  Here, the reach (reach state) includes the display device 43 whose display state can be changed, and the display device 43 derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times. In a gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous for the player (special gaming state) when the specified special result mode is achieved, a part of the plurality of display results is not yet derived and displayed. The display state in which the display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that is a special result mode even when the display control of the display device 43 progresses to reach the stage before the display result is derived and displayed. A display mode that is not. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state when the display control of the display device 43 progresses and reaches a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that have been performed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decoration variation display game displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to the special figure variation display game varies a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device 43. After displaying, when the display of the result mode is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition that becomes the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state in which the identification information is obtained (except for the special result mode) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state. This reach state includes a plurality of reach effects, and the possibility of deriving a special result form is different (reliability is different). As the reach effects, normal reach, special reach 1 (SP1 reach), special reach 2 ( SP2 reach) is set. The reliability increases in the order of no reach <normal reach <special reach 1 (SP1 reach) <special reach 2 (SP2 reach). In addition, this reach state is included in a variable display mode at least in a case where a special result mode is derived in a special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is out of place). Therefore, the state in which the reach state occurs is a state that is more likely to be a big hit than the case in which the reach state does not occur.

  Then, in the game control device 30, based on the determination result of the start memory as described above, the special figure display device 9 displays a special figure fluctuation display game that displays the special identification information fluctuating for a predetermined time and then stops and displays it. I do. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a variation display control means capable of controlling the execution of the special figure variation display game based on the start-up memory.

  Further, in the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a special result mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. The special result mode displayed on the special figure display is determined based on the big hit symbol random number extracted and stored simultaneously with the big hit judgment random number value. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the special figure display unit 9 is controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, in the game control device 30, as a process for generating a special game state, for example, the open / close door 10 a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened by the big prize opening SOL 10 b, thereby allowing the game ball to flow into the big prize opening. Take control. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 0.3 seconds) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one is made is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is performed to continue (repeat) this for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or 2 times). Accordingly, the gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game.

  In addition, the game control device 30 discharges and fires based on the detection signal of the game ball input from sensors (first start port SW17, second start port SW18, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. A process for controlling the control device 50 so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the discharge device 51 is performed.

  In addition, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal (change time command, change stop command, etc.) from the game control device 30, the display device 43 displays a decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game. Controls processing and effects.

  Here, in the special result mode, a plurality of types having different game value added to the player after the execution mode of the special game state and the special game state are set are set. The special result mode is selected on the basis of this. That is, it can be said that the amount of additional game value is determined based on the jackpot symbol random number. In addition, the execution mode of the special game state in the gaming machine of the present embodiment is the number of rounds that can be executed and the opening time of the special winning opening. Further, the additional game value means that the game state is changed to a probability fluctuation state until the next special result mode is derived after the special game state ends, or a special figure change display game is executed a predetermined number of times after the special game state ends. The game state is changed to the short-time game state.

  There are 15 special rounds in the special gaming state, and the game state is set to the short-time gaming state until 100 special figure variation display games are executed after the special gaming state is completed. The number of rounds in the gaming state is 15 rounds, and after the special gaming state is finished, the special game is played with a 15R probability change in which the gaming state is a probability variation state until the next special result mode is derived, and the number of rounds in the special gaming state is 2 rounds. Three types of 2R probability change in which the gaming state is a probability fluctuation state until the next special result mode is derived after the state ends are set. That is, the 15R probability variation and the 2R probability variation are special result modes that are accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the probability variation state (specific game) that facilitates the generation of the next special game state after the special game state based on the special result mode ends. Status).

  In the special game state (first special game state) based on 15R normal and 15R probability change, the opening time of the big winning opening in each round is the first release time (25 seconds), and the special game state based on 2R probability change In the (second special game state), the opening time of the special winning opening is a second opening time (0.3 seconds) shorter than the first opening time. Here, in the special game state based on the 2R probability change, the operation of opening the grand prize opening for 0.3 seconds is performed twice with a wait time of 1 second. For this reason, it is very difficult for a game ball to win a big prize opening, but there is a possibility that a game will be slightly awarded to a big prize opening, and a predetermined game value can be given to a player. In addition, although it is difficult to win a game ball in this way, it is monitored whether a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls wins a large winning opening as in the case of a special game state based on other special result modes. Is also done. That is, the first special gaming state in which the 15R normal and 15R probability changes are executed for a predetermined period, and the second special gaming state in which the 2R probability change is set to be shorter than the first special gaming state. Is to execute. That is, the game control device 30 extracts a random number (big hit symbol random number) based on the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening (first start winning 13, normal variation winning device 7), and based on the extracted random value In addition to the special game state, an additional game value determining means is provided for determining whether or not to add an additional game value or determining an additional game value amount to be added.

  Next, the details of the special game process (step S18) in the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, in the special game process, first, the first start port monitoring is performed to monitor the winning to the first starting winning port 13 which is the first starting winning port and to store various random numbers based on the winning. The process (step S160), the winning monitoring to the ordinary variable winning device 7 forming the second starting winning opening, and the second starting opening monitoring process (step S161) for storing various random numbers based on the winning are performed, and the count SW 10c The count switch monitoring process (step S31) for monitoring the input from is performed. Also, the first special figure fluctuation control process (step S162) for performing processing such as updating the game process timer for the first special figure fluctuation display game, and the process for updating the game processing timer for the second special figure fluctuation display game, etc. are performed. A second special figure variation control process (step S163) is performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the game process timer set in each process relating to the execution of the special figure variation display game has expired (step S32). In the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step S32), if the game process timer has not expired (step S32; No), the special figure fluctuation control process relating to the control of the special figure fluctuation display game. (Step S43) is performed to end the special figure game process. Further, in the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step S32), if the game process timer has expired (step S32; Yes), the game process number acquired by acquiring the game process number A game branching process (step S33) for selecting a process to be executed based on the above is performed.

  In the game branch process (step S33), when the game process number is 0, it is necessary to monitor the start of special symbol variation and perform special symbol variation start setting, production setting, or special diagram routine processing. A special figure routine process (step S34) for setting various information is performed. In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 1, the special figure change start process 2 (step S35) is performed. In the special figure change start process 2 (step S35), information related to the change of the special symbol is set. For example, the start memory is decremented by 1 with the execution of the special figure change display game based on the start memory. Perform the process. Further, in the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 2, the timer for managing the time (fluctuation time, etc.) in the special figure fluctuation display game or the special figure display processing (step A special figure changing process (step S36) for setting information necessary for performing S37) is performed.

  In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 3, a special figure display process (step S37) is performed. In the special figure display processing (step S37), a timer for managing the time (such as the stop symbol display time) in the special figure variation display game is updated. When the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S38) is set. If the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, information is set to shift to the special figure routine process (step S34).

  In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 4, a fanfare / interval process (step S38) for performing a process such as updating the number of times of opening of the big winning opening in the special game state is performed. In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 5, a special winning opening opening process (step S39) is performed. In the special winning opening opening process (step S39), if the special game state is not the final round, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S38) is set. If the special game state is the final round, the command setting on the end screen of the special game state and the information necessary for performing the winning prize remaining ball processing (step S40) are set.

  In the game branching process (step S33), when the game process number is 6, the winning prize remaining ball process (step S40) is performed. In this special winning opening remaining ball processing (step S40), when the special gaming state is the final round, it takes time until all the gaming balls remaining in the special winning opening are detected by the count SW 10c after the special winning opening is closed. Set up. In the game branching process (step S33), if the game process number is 7, a big hit end process (step S41) is performed. In this jackpot end process (step S41), a process for ending the special gaming state is performed, and information necessary for performing the special figure routine process (step S34) is set.

  After performing the above-described process based on the game process number, a table data saving process (step S42) for saving various set data is performed, and a special figure variation control process (step S43) for performing a process such as updating the game process timer is performed. ) To finish the special figure game process.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the first start port monitoring process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a first start prize (step S170). In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning (step S170), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the first starting port SW17 when there is a starting winning. In the determination of whether or not there is a first start prize (step S170), if there is no first start prize (step S170; N), the first start port monitoring process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a first start prize (step S170), if there is a first start prize (step S170; Y), a process for obtaining the first (special figure 1) start memory number (step S170). S171) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the first start memory number is an upper limit value (for example, 4) (step S172).

  When determining whether or not the first start memory number is the upper limit value (step S172), if the first start memory number is the upper limit value (step S172; Y), that is, if the first start memory cannot be stored any more Ends the first start port monitoring process. In the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is the upper limit value (step S172), if the first start memory number is not the upper limit value (step S172; N), the first start memory number is incremented by one. The process (step S173) is performed, the special figure 1 big hit determination random number value is stored (step S174), the special figure 1 big hit symbol random number is stored (step S175), and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern random number 1 is stored. Processing (step S176) is performed. In the process of storing these various random number values (steps S174 to 176), the process of storing the extracted various random number values in the save area of the various random number values set corresponding to the updated first starting stored number is performed. .

  After performing processing for storing various random numbers, it is determined whether or not the time is short (step S177). “Time saving” means a case where the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is a time saving operation state (probability changing state or time saving gaming state). In the determination of whether or not the time is short (step S177), if the time is short (step S177; Yes), a process (step S180) for setting the decoration special figure 1 hold information command is performed, and the first start port The monitoring process ends. That is, in this case, the prefetch process for the first startup memory is not performed. In the determination of whether or not the time is short (step S177), if the time is not short (step S177; No), it is determined whether or not a big hit is being made (step S178).

In the determination of whether or not a big hit is being made (step S178), it is determined whether or not the special variable winning device 10 is operating. That is, it is determined whether or not the special game state is in effect. In the determination of whether or not the big hit is made (step S178), if the big hit is made (step S178; Y), the process of setting the decoration special figure 1 hold information command (step S180) is performed, and the first start The mouth monitoring process is terminated. That is, in this case, the prefetch process for the first startup memory is not performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not the big hit (step S178), if the big hit is not (step S178; No), special figure 1 hold information determination processing (step S179) is performed, the display unit 43a of the display device 43 A special figure 1 hold information command to be displayed is set (step S180), the special figure hold number display setting in the display unit 43a is set, and the first start port monitoring process is terminated. The decoration special figure hold information command is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later as one of the hold information commands including information related to the start memory. Regarding the first start memory, the pre-reading process is not performed when the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state or the special game state, but the pre-reading process is performed, and the result information is displayed. You may make it not output.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the special figure 1 hold information determination process, the result related information corresponding to the first start memory is determined before the start timing of the first special figure variable display game based on the first start memory. Perform prefetch processing. In the special figure 1 hold information determination process, first, a process (step S190) of acquiring the special figure 1 big hit determination random number value stored in the process of storing the special figure 1 big hit determination random number (step S174), It is determined whether or not there is a winning value (step S191). In the determination of whether or not there is a win value (step S191), it is determined whether or not the acquired special figure 1 big hit determination random number value matches the big hit determination value. In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value (step S191), when there is no winning value (step S191; N), that is, when the acquired special figure 1 big hit determination random value does not match the big hit determination value, The special figure 1 performs the deviation information setting process (step S196), and the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern random number 1 is obtained (step S197). In the special figure 1 misalignment information setting process (step S196), as a result of determining the special figure 1 big hit determination random value, no special result is derived in the first special figure variable display game based on the first start memory. Processing to store information and the like is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S63), the random number value stored in the process of storing the fluctuation pattern random number 1 (step S56) is acquired, and then the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S64) is performed. . In the process of selecting the fluctuation table (step S64), a process of selecting one of the two kinds of fluctuation tables of the fluctuation table 1 and the fluctuation table 2 based on the fluctuation pattern random number is performed. This variation table is for determining a variation pattern by determining a variation pattern random number.

Further, in the determination whether or not the special figure 2 hold information command is received (step S310), if the special figure 2 hold information command is received (step S310; Y), the special figure 2 hold number information is acquired. The process (step S311) to perform is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the special figure 2 hold number information (step S311), the process of acquiring the second start memory number information is performed based on the decoration special figure 2 hold number command which is one of the special figure 2 hold information commands. . Next, the process (step S312) which acquires the determination information regarding the said hold is performed. The determination information is information including the result of the pre-reading process for the second start-up memory. In the process of acquiring determination information related to the hold (step S312), the special information is one of the special figure 2 hold information commands. The determination information is acquired from the 2 specific reach deviation pattern information, the special figure 2 no specific deviation fluctuation pattern information, and the special figure 2 big hit variation pattern information. Thereafter, a special figure 2 continuous notice setting process (step S313) is performed, a process for storing determination information related to the hold is performed, a process for storing the determination information related to the hold (step S314) is performed, and a special figure 2 hold is performed. The information setting process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure 2 continuous notice setting process, it is first determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S320). The continuous notice flag is a flag that is set when the continuous notice is being executed, and the special figure 1 continuous notice flag that is set when the continuous notice is executed triggered by the occurrence of the specific first start memory; There are two types of special notice 2 continuous notice flags that are set when a continuous notice is executed triggered by the occurrence of a specific second start memory. In determining whether there is a continuous notice flag (step S320), if any flag is set, it is determined that there is a continuous flag.

  When it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S320), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S320; Y), the special notice 2 continuous notice setting process is terminated because the continuous notice is already being executed. . Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S320), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S320; N), it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is under shortening control (step S321). )I do. “During the shortening control” means that the probability change is in progress or the open time extension function of the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (so-called short-time state).

  In the determination of whether or not the current gaming state is under shortening control (step S321), if the current gaming state is not under shortening control (step S321; N), the special figure 2 continuous notice setting process is terminated. . When this shortening control is not being performed, the start winning in FIG. 2 cannot be expected, that is, even if the number of pending states reaches the upper limit, there are only a small number (for example, four), so there is a possibility that multiple jackpot information exists. This is because it is unlikely to generate a special continuous notice because it is low. This condition does not need to be a determination material, and only the special figure 1 may be determined as a determination target. Further, in the determination of whether or not the current gaming state is under the shortening control (step S321), when the current gaming state is under the shortening control (step S321; Y), the holding before the holding is performed. A process of acquiring information (step S322) is performed.

After performing the process (step S322) of acquiring the hold information before the hold, it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is executed (step S323). In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S323), the execution of the continuous notice is determined with a predetermined probability. For example, a random value is extracted, and when the random value is a specific value, execution of continuous notice is determined. In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S323), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S323; N), the special figure 2 continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S323), when the continuous notice is executed (step S323; Y), there are a plurality (two or more) of information regarding the hold that is a big hit in the hold. Is determined (step S324).

In the determination of whether or not there are a plurality (two or more) of information related to a big hit in the hold (step S324), there is a plurality (two or more) of information related to a big hit in the hold (step S324). In step S324; Y), a special figure 2 special continuous notice flag is set (step S325), and the special figure 2 continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination (step S324) of whether there is a plurality (two or more) of information related to the big hit in the hold (step S324), there is no plurality (two or more) of information related to the big hit in the hold. (Step S324; N) performs a process (step S326) of setting the special figure 2 continuous notice flag, and ends the special figure 1 continuous notice setting process.

  In addition, the effect control device 40 performs the special figure 2 variable display game start process shown in FIG. 19 at the start of the second special figure variable display game. In the special figure 2 fluctuation display game start process, first, it is determined whether or not a special figure 2 fluctuation start command has been received (step S330). The special figure 2 variation start command includes information related to the content of the second special figure variation display game, and is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the second special diagram variation display game. In the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 fluctuation start command has been received (step S330), when the special figure 2 fluctuation start command has not been received (step S330; N), the special figure 2 fluctuation display game start process is performed. finish. Further, in the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 fluctuation start command has been received (step S330), if the special figure 2 fluctuation start command has been received (step S330; Y), the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number is acquired. The process (step S331) to perform is performed.

  The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number is for determining the fluctuation pattern of the second special figure fluctuation display game, and is stored in the second start memory in the game control device 30 at the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game. Is selected on the basis of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern random number and is transmitted to the effect control device 40. In the process of acquiring the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number (step S331), the process of obtaining the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number transmitted from the game control device 30 is performed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether there is a special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S332). The special figure 2 continuous notice flag is a flag that is set when a continuous notice is being executed triggered by the occurrence of a specific second start-up memory. In the determination of whether or not there is the special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S332), if there is the special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S332; Y), it is determined whether or not it is the special figure 2 special notice flag. Determination (step S333) is performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not there is the special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S332), if there is no special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S332; N), the corresponding variation pattern from the special figure 2 normal selection table. Is selected (step S334), the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern setting process (step S337) is executed, and the special figure 2 fluctuation display game start process is terminated. In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern setting process (step S337), a process of selecting a fluctuation pattern from the acquired special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number and the selected selection table is performed.

In the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 special continuous notice flag is present (step S333), if there is the special figure 2 special continuous notice flag (step S333; Y), it corresponds from the special figure 2 special continuous notice selection table. A process for selecting a fluctuation pattern (step S335) is performed, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern setting process (step S337) is performed, and the special figure 2 fluctuation display game start process is terminated. If there is no special figure 2 special continuous notice flag (step S333; N) in the determination as to whether or not the special figure 2 special continuous notice flag is present (step S333), the special figure 2 continuous notice selection table is used. A process for selecting a fluctuation pattern to be performed (step S336) is performed, a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern setting process (step S297) is performed, and the special figure 1 fluctuation display game start process is terminated.

The effect control device 40 performs a special figure 2 fluctuation display game stop process as a process related to the stop of the second special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. 20, in the special figure 2 fluctuation display game stop process, it is first determined whether or not a special figure 2 fluctuation stop command has been received (step S340). The special figure 2 change stop command is transmitted from the game control apparatus 30 to the effect control apparatus 40 at the stop timing of the second special figure change display game. In the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 fluctuation stop command has been received (step S340), when the special figure 2 fluctuation stop command has not been received (step S340; N), the special figure 2 fluctuation display game stop process is performed. finish. Further, in the determination whether or not the special figure 2 fluctuation stop command is received (step S340), when the special figure 2 fluctuation stop command is received (step S340; Y), the decorative second special figure fluctuation display game is displayed. The special figure 2 fluctuation stop setting process (step S341) for stopping is performed.

  After performing the special figure 2 fluctuation stop setting process (step S341), it is determined whether there is a special figure 1 continuous notice flag (step S342). In the determination of whether or not there is the special figure 1 continuous notice flag (step S342), if there is the special figure 1 continuous notice flag (step S342; Y), it is determined whether or not the variable display game to be stopped is a big hit. (Step S346) is performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not there is the special figure 1 continuous notice flag (step S342), if there is no special figure 1 continuous notice flag (step S342; N), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 continuous notice flag is present. (Step S343) is performed.

In the determination of whether or not there is the special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S343), if there is the special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S343; Y), whether or not there is the special figure 2 special notice flag. Is determined (step S344). I do. If it is determined in step S343 that there is no special figure 2 continuous notice flag (step S343; N), the special figure 2 variable display game stop process is terminated. .

If it is determined in step S344 that there is no special figure 2 special continuous notice flag (step S344; N), the special figure 2 variable display game stop process is terminated. . In addition, in the determination of whether or not there is a special figure 2 special continuous notice flag (step S344), if there is a special figure 2 special continuous notice flag (step S344; Y), is there one or more big hits in the hold? It is determined whether or not (step S345).

  In the determination of whether or not there is one or more big hits in the hold (step S345), if there are more than one (two or more) big hits in the hold (step S345; Y), the special figure 2 variable display game Terminate the stop process. In addition, in the determination (step S345) whether or not there is one or more big hits in the hold (step S345; N), the special figure 1 special continuous notice flag is cleared. Is performed (step S346), and the special figure 2 variable display game stop process is terminated. As a result, the special continuous notice ends.

  Here, the display mode of the special continuous notice will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, symbols as shown in the table of FIG. 21A are set as symbols for generating a special gaming state. Here, for example, after the end of the generated special gaming state, the symbols that generate the normal special gaming state in which the predetermined number of time-saving games are given with the low probability that the probability state does not change are “2”, “4”. ”,“ 6 ”,“ 8 ”, and after the end of the generated special gaming state, the probability state and the like become high probabilities, and a symbol for generating a specific special gaming state to which a predetermined number of short-time games are given is generated. , “1”, “3”, “5”, “9”, and “7” is set as a special symbol derived only when the above-described special continuous notice occurs.

  FIG. 21 (b) shows the hold states of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as hold states that can execute the special continuous notice. Here, the start memory for generating the special game state is stored in the third (G in the figure) of the start memory in FIG. In addition, a start memory for generating a special gaming state is stored in the second (B in the figure) and the fourth (D in the figure) of the start memory in FIG. In addition, the numbers described in the upper part showing each start memory indicate the order of display on the display unit as the variable display game.

  FIG. 22 shows a display mode when a special continuous notice is executed based on the above-described hold state. First, the above-described variable display game before the hold state is ended, and a deviation stop mode is derived as shown in (a), and the variable display game based on the start-up memory A in FIG. ). At this time, if it is determined that the special continuous notice is to be executed in the special figure 2 variable display game start process as in the above-described hold state, as shown in (c), the left symbol R1 and the right symbol R2 However, a reach condition occurs with a special symbol that stops only when the special continuous notice is executed.

  When such a reach state occurs, the player recognizes that there is a start memory for generating a plurality of special game states in the current start memory, and the interest and interest in the game is improved. However, even if there is a start memory for generating a plurality of special game states in the start memory, the changing start memory A is not a start memory for generating a special game state. The middle symbol R3 stops at a symbol different from R1 and R2, and a deviating mode is derived.

  When a predetermined stop display time elapses after this off mode is derived, a variable display game based on the start memory B is started as shown in (e). This variable display game is a start memory for generating a special game state as described above. Then, as shown in (f), the left symbol R1 and the right symbol R2 once again reach a reach state with a special symbol that stops only when the special continuous notice is executed. Then, after executing the reach change for a predetermined time, as shown in (g), the middle symbol R3 stops at “7” which is a special symbol, and a special gaming state is generated.

  After the special gaming state is finished, the starting memory C derives the detachment mode through the reach state by the special symbol “7” similar to the starting memory A, and then the starting memory D is similar to the starting memory B, A special game state with a special symbol “7” is generated.

  After the end of the special gaming state based on the starting memory D, if there is no newly stored starting memory, or if the starting memory is not the starting memory that generates the special gaming state even if stored, the starting memory E and subsequent The variable display game by normal symbol selection is executed, and the special continuous notice is ended.

  As described above, when a plurality of start memories for generating a special gaming state are stored, the stop mode of the variable display game is derived by a special symbol that does not stop as a normal stop symbol. By deriving the stop mode by the special symbol, it can be recognized that there is a start memory for generating a plurality of special game states in the currently stored start memory, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Here, as an embodiment for notifying that the start memory for generating the special game state again exists in the start memory, examples in which notification is performed during execution of the special game state are shown in FIGS.

  First, as the big hit processing shown in FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not the interval of the special game state being executed has ended (step S401). In determining whether or not the interval of the special gaming state being executed has ended (step S401), if the interval has not ended (step S401; N), the big hit processing is ended. Further, in the determination of whether or not the special gaming state interval being executed has ended (step S401), if the interval has ended (step S401; Y), a process of decrementing the number of rounds by one (step S402) is performed. Do.

  When the process of decrementing the number of rounds by 1 (step S402) ends, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds decremented by 1 is the specified number of rounds (step S403). In the determination of whether or not the number is the specified number of rounds (step S403), if the number is not the specified number of rounds (step S403; N), the big hit processing is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the number of rounds is the specified number (step S403), if the number is the specified number of rounds (step S403; Y), a process of acquiring information in the current start memory (step 404) is performed.

Then, it is determined (step 405) whether or not there is a big hit in the current start memory acquired in the process of acquiring information in the current start memory (step 404). If there is no big hit (step S405; N) in the process of acquiring information in the current start-up memory (step 404), the mid-hit process is terminated. Further, in the process of acquiring information in the current start memory (step 404), if there is a big hit (step S405; Y), a process of setting a background switching flag (step 406) is performed, and the next round and thereafter The background is switched to the special background, and the big hit processing is terminated.

  FIG. 24 shows a display mode when the background is switched in the big hit processing. First, a special game state is generated in (a), and the special game state is executed in 2222 as a normal background as shown in (b). When the specified number of rounds is reached and a big hit exists in the startup memory, the background is switched to 1111 as the special background shown in (c).

  In this way, by switching the background of the special game state being executed, it is informed that there is a start memory for generating the special game state again in the current start memory, so that the player is in the special game state It is also possible to provide a display effect with a sense of expectation for a special gaming state in which the player is interested in switching the background display and simply winning a game ball in the big winning opening.

  Moreover, the modification of this embodiment was shown to FIG. 25, FIG. FIG. 25 shows a case where the background is switched when the jackpot existing in the startup memory is a jackpot with probability fluctuation. Since the big hit processing in FIG. 25 performs substantially the same processing as in FIG. 23, the same processing (step) is denoted by the same reference numeral, and description thereof is omitted. The added process is a determination as to whether or not the big hit in the hold is a probable change (step 411). In the determination whether or not the big hit in the hold is a probable change (step 411), the big hit in the hold is not a probable change (step S411) ; N), the process during the big hit is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the big hit in the hold is a probable change (step 411), if the big hit in the hold is a probable change (step 411; Y), processing for setting the background switching flag (step 406) is performed. The background after the next round is switched to the special background, and the big hit processing is terminated.

  Since the background is switched when the big hit existing in the starting memory is a big hit with a probability variation as in the first modification, the display mode during execution of the special gaming state is viewed with further expectation. be able to.

  As modification 2, as shown in FIG. 26, in the determination of whether or not the big hit in the hold is a probable change (step 411), if the big hit in the hold is a probable change (step 411; Y), the execution is in progress It is determined whether or not the big hit is a big hit by the normal symbol (step S412). In the determination of whether or not the big hit being executed is a big hit by the normal symbol (step S412), if the big hit being executed is not a big hit by the normal symbol (step S412; N), the big hit and middle processing is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the big hit being executed is a big hit by the normal symbol (step S412), if the big hit being executed is a big hit by the normal symbol (step S412; Y), a process for setting the background switching flag is set. (Step 406) is performed, the background after the next round is switched to the special background, and the big hit processing is terminated.

  As described above, since the background switching is performed when the on-hold big hit is a probable change and the currently executed big hit is a big hit by a normal symbol, the player can have a further expectation.

  Here, an embodiment related to the third continuous notice will be described. The main gaming machine of this embodiment is different from that having the above-described special drawings 1 and 2. There are also portions where the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as in the above-described embodiment. In addition, in the description of the game flow, there is a description that the same processing is performed even if the reference numerals are different. As shown in FIG. 27, the gaming machine 100 has a game control device 30 serving as a game control means for controlling the progress of the game as its control system, and a sub-control that controls various effects under the control of the game control device 30. Production control device 40 as a device, discharge device 51 for controlling the payout of prize balls or rental balls, and discharge / emission control device 50 as a sub-control device for controlling the launch of game balls by the launch device 52, supplying power A power supply device 60 is provided.

  The CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, as well as a big hit determination random number for a special figure variation display game, a big hit symbol random number for determining a big hit symbol, and a fluctuation pattern in the special figure fluctuation display game Various random numbers such as a variation pattern random number for determining the game number, a random number for hit determination of the usual figure variation display game, and the like are also generated. The RAM 31c includes a storage area for storing an ON signal of the start opening SW7d provided in the first start winning award 13 and the normal variation winning award apparatus 7, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like. ing. In addition to the game control program and control data being written in the ROM 31b, the jackpot of the special figure fluctuation display game for determining the occurrence of the big jackpot of the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the various random numbers described above. A determination value, a determination value of a variation pattern, and the like are stored. In addition, a hit determination value of the normal map change display game and a change pattern of the normal view change display game (first change display time and second change display time as the change display time) are also stored.

  Next, the details of the special game process (step S18) in the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 28, in the special game process, first, the first start winning port 13 serving as the start winning port, the monitoring of the winning to the ordinary variable winning device 7, and the start of storing various random number values based on the winning. The mouth monitoring process (step S30) is performed, and the count switch monitoring process (step S31) for monitoring the input from the count SW 10c is performed.

  Then, a game branching process (step S32) for selecting a process to be executed based on the acquired game process number based on the acquired game process number is performed. In this game branching process (step S32), when the game process number is 0, in order to monitor the change start of the special symbol and perform the special symbol change start setting, the effect setting, or the special figure normal processing A special figure routine process (step S33) for setting necessary information is performed. If the game process number is 1 in the game branching process (step S32), the special figure change start process 2 (step S34) is performed. In the special figure change start process 2 (step S34), information related to the change of the special symbol is set. For example, the start memory is decremented by 1 with the execution of the special figure change display game based on the start memory. Perform the process. Further, in the game branching process (step S32), when the game process number is 2, the timer for managing the time (fluctuation time, etc.) in the special figure fluctuation display game or the special figure display process (step A special figure changing process (step S35) for setting information necessary for performing S36) is performed.

  In the game branching process (step S32), when the game process number is 3, a special figure display process (step S36) is performed. In the special figure display processing (step S36), the timer for managing the time (stop symbol display time etc.) in the special figure variation display game is updated. When the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S37) is set. If the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, information is set to shift to the special figure routine process (step S33).

  Further, in the game branching process (step S32), when the game process number is 4, fanfare / interval processing (step S37) for performing processing such as updating of the number of times of opening of the big winning opening in the special game state is performed. In the game branching process (step S32), when the game process number is 5, a special winning opening opening process (step S38) is performed. In the special winning opening opening process (step S38), if the special game state is not the final round, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S37) is set. Also, if the special game state is the final round, the command setting on the special game state end screen and the information necessary for performing the winning prize remaining ball processing (step S39) are set.

  In the game branching process (step S32), if the game process number is 6, the winning prize remaining ball process (step S39) is performed. In this special winning opening remaining ball process (step S39), when the special gaming state is the final round, the time until all the gaming balls remaining in the special winning opening are detected by the count SW 10c after closing the large winning opening. Set up. In the game branching process (step S32), if the game process number is 7, a big hit ending process (step S40) is performed. In the jackpot ending process (step S40), a process for ending the special game state is performed, and information necessary for performing the special figure routine process (step S33) is set.

  After performing the above-described process based on the game process number, a special figure variation control process (step S41) for performing a process such as updating the game process timer is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the start port monitoring process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start winning (step S50). In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning (step S50), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the start port SW7d when there is a starting winning. In the determination of whether or not there is a start prize (step S50), if there is no start prize (step S50; N), the start port monitoring process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a start prize (step S50), if there is a start prize (step S50; Y), a process (step S51) for acquiring the special figure start memory number is performed, and the special figure start memory is stored. It is determined whether the number is an upper limit value (for example, 4) (step S52).

  In the determination of whether or not the special figure start memory number is the upper limit value (step S52), when the special figure start memory number is the upper limit value (step S52; Y), that is, when the start memory cannot be stored any more, The start port monitoring process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the special figure start memory number is the upper limit value (step S52), if the special figure start memory number is not the upper limit value (step S52; N), the special figure start memory number is incremented by one. Processing (step S53) is performed, processing for storing the jackpot determination random number value (step S54), processing for storing the jackpot symbol random number (step S55), processing for storing the variation pattern random number 1 (step S56). In the process of storing these various random number values (steps S54 to S56), the process of storing the extracted various random number values in the save area of the various random number values set corresponding to the updated special figure starting storage number is performed. . That is, the game control device 30 serves as a start storage means for storing various random number values extracted based on the winning of the game ball into the start winning opening as a start memory with a predetermined number as an upper limit.

  After performing processing for storing various random number values, special figure hold information determination processing (step S57), which is prefetching processing for determining result related information corresponding to start-up storage, is performed. Then, a continuous notice setting process (step S58), which is a process related to the execution of continuous effects, is performed, and a process (step S59) of setting a decoration special figure hold information command to be displayed on the display unit 43a of the display device 43 is performed. Then, display setting of the special figure hold number in the display unit 43a is performed, and the start port monitoring process is terminated. The decoration special figure hold information command is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later as one of the hold information commands including information related to the start memory.

  In the special figure hold information determination process (step S56) performed in the start port monitoring process shown in FIG. 29, the result related information corresponding to the start memory is determined before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory. Perform prefetch processing. As shown in FIG. 30, in the special figure hold information determination process, first, a process (step S60) of acquiring a jackpot determination random number value stored in a process of storing a jackpot determination random number (step S54), It is determined whether or not there is a winning value (step S61).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value (step S61), it is determined whether or not the acquired jackpot determining random number value matches the jackpot determining value. In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value (step S61), if there is no winning value (step S61; N), that is, if the acquired big hit determination random number value does not coincide with the big hit determination value, the outlier information is set. Processing (step S62) is performed. In the loss information setting process (step S62), as a result of determining the jackpot determination random value, a process for storing information indicating that no special result is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is performed. Thereafter, the process of setting the deviation variation pattern information (step S63) is performed, and the special figure hold information determination process is terminated.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value (step S61), when there is a winning value (step S61; Y), that is, when the acquired random number for determining the big hit matches the big hit determination value, the big hit information A setting process (step S64) is performed. In the jackpot information setting process (step S64), as a result of the determination of the jackpot determination random value, a process for storing information indicating that a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is performed.

  Thereafter, a process of setting jackpot variation pattern information (step S65) is performed, and the special figure hold information determination process is terminated. Note that the loss variation pattern information and the jackpot variation pattern information are transmitted later to the effect control device 40 as one of the hold information commands including information related to the start memory.

  In the continuous notice setting process (step S58) performed in the start port monitoring process shown in FIG. 29, a process related to execution of the continuous notice, which is a continuous effect, is performed. Here, the continuous notice is one of notices for notifying the existence of the start memory for executing the special figure variation display game for deriving the special result, and continuously producing over a plurality of special figure fluctuation display games. This is a continuous production. It should be noted that the derivation of the special result does not necessarily have to be announced, and the possibility that the special result may be derived may be notified.

  As shown in FIG. 31, in the continuous notice setting process, first, it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is being executed (step S70). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is being executed (step S70), it is determined whether there is a normal continuous notice flag or a specific continuous notice flag that is set when the continuous notice is being executed. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is being executed (step S70), if the continuous notice is being executed (step S70; Y), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is being executed (step S70), if the continuous notice is not being executed (step S70; N), a process for obtaining a random number for determining the continuous notice is performed (step S71). Then, it is determined (step S72) whether to execute the continuous notice.

  In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S72), the continuous notice is executed when the continuous notice determination random number acquired in the process of acquiring the continuous notice determination random number (step S71) is a specific value. It comes to decide. That is, execution of continuous notice is determined with a predetermined probability. In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S72), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S72; N), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S72), when the continuous notice is executed (step S72; Y), it is determined whether or not it is during the stop symbol replacement period (step S73). Do.

  The stop symbol replacement possible period is a period from the start of the special figure change display game to a predetermined time before the timing when the identification information is finally stopped. In the determination of whether or not it is the stop symbol replacement period (step S73), if it is the stop symbol replacement period (step S73; Y), a process of setting a stop symbol replacement flag (step S74) is performed. Thereafter, a process for setting a specific continuous notice flag (step S75) is performed, a process for setting the number of starting memories until the suspension is set in a continuous notice number counter (step S76), and the continuous notice setting process is terminated. If it is not the stop symbol replacement period (step S73; N) in the determination of whether or not it is the stop symbol replacement period (step S73), a process of setting a normal continuous notice flag is performed (step S77). Thereafter, a process for setting the number of starting memories until the suspension is set in the continuous notice number counter (step S76), and the continuous notice setting process is ended. When the execution of the continuous notice is determined and the normal continuous notice flag or the specific continuous notice flag is set, a continuous notice start command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  When the specific continuous notice flag is set, the specific continuous notice is executed as the continuous notice. In this specific continuous notice, the final stop symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game for which execution of the continuous notice has been decided is replaced with the specific identification information, and also in the special figure fluctuation display game during the continuous notice except for the final stage. Is a continuous notice in which the specific identification information is used (see, for example, FIG. 17). When the normal continuous notice flag is set, the normal continuous notice is executed as the continuous notice. This normal continuous notice is executed in a manner different from the specific continuous notice. Even in the normal continuous notice, the final stop symbol may be used as the specific identification information in the special figure change display game during the continuous notice except the final stage. However, the final stop symbol of the special figure change display game for which execution of the continuous notice is determined cannot be replaced with the specific identification information.

  In the special figure routine process that is performed when the process number is 0 in the game branch process (step S32), the special symbol fluctuation start is monitored and the special symbol fluctuation start setting or the special figure routine process is performed. Necessary information is set. As shown in FIG. 32, in this special figure routine processing, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start memory (step S80). In the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S80), if there is no start memory (step S80; N), it is determined whether or not a customer waiting demo flag is set (step S84).

  If it is determined whether or not the customer waiting demo flag is set (step S84), if the customer waiting demo flag is set (step S84; Y), the special figure routine processing is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the customer waiting demo flag is set (step S84), if the customer waiting demo flag is not set (step S84; N), a process of setting the customer waiting demo flag is performed (step S85). The customer waiting demonstration command is set (step S86), and the special figure routine processing is terminated. The customer waiting demo command set here is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later. In the production control device 40, for example, based on the reception of the customer waiting demo command, a process of displaying a customer waiting demo image on the display unit 43a of the display device 43 is performed.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S80), if there is a start memory (step S80; Y), the special figure change start process 1 (step S81) for setting information related to the special figure change display game. )I do. After that, the continuous notice control process (step S82) is performed, the process of storing the change start information (step S83) is performed, and the special figure routine process is terminated. In the process of storing the change start information (step S83), the special figure process number is changed to 1, and the special figure change start process 2 is selected in the next game branch process (step S32) (see FIG. 28). Become so.

  In the special figure fluctuation start process 1 (step S81) performed in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 32, information regarding the special figure fluctuation display game is set. As shown in FIG. 33, in the special figure variation start process 1, it is first determined whether or not it is a big hit (step S90). In the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), it is determined whether or not the big hit determination random number value stored in the starting memory being processed matches the big hit determination value. In the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), if it is a big hit (step S90; Yes), that is, if the random number for big hit determination matches the big hit determination value, a process of setting the big hit information ( Step S91) is performed, and a process of setting a stop symbol (Step S92) is performed. In the process of setting the big hit information (step S91), for example, the process of setting the big hit flag is performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S90), if it is not a big hit (step S90; No), that is, if the random number for jackpot determination does not match the big hit determination value, a process of setting a stop symbol ( Step S92) is performed.

  In the process of setting the stop symbol (step S92), the process of determining the stop symbol of the special symbol variation display game is performed based on the jackpot symbol random number value stored in the start memory being processed. The stop symbol set here is output to the effect control device 40 later as stop symbol data. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S93).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S93), if either the normal continuous notice flag or the specific continuous flag is set, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S93), when there is no continuous notice flag (step S93; N), processing for selecting a normal variation table is performed (step S98). Thereafter, a process for setting special figure information which is information set for the special figure fluctuation display game is performed (step S97), and the special figure fluctuation start process 1 is completed. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S93), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S93; Y), it is determined whether or not there is a specific continuous notice flag (step S94).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a specific continuous notice flag (step S94), if there is a specific continuous notice flag (step S94; Y), processing for selecting the corresponding specific continuous notice variation table is performed (step S95). Then, the process for setting the special figure information (step S97) is performed, and the special figure fluctuation start process 1 is completed. In the determination of whether or not there is a specific continuous notice flag (step S94), if there is no specific continuous notice flag (step S94; N), that is, if there is a normal continuous notice flag, the corresponding normal continuous notice flag is used. A process of selecting a variation table (step S96) is performed. Thereafter, a process for setting special figure information (step S97) is performed, and the special figure fluctuation start process 1 is completed. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a determination unit that compares and determines the random number value stored in the start storage unit with the determination value, and also serves as a game execution unit that executes the variable display game based on the determination result by the determination unit.

  In the continuous notice control process (step S82) performed in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 32, the number of executions of the continuous notice is controlled. As shown in FIG. 34, in this continuous notice control process, it is first determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S100). In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S100), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S100; N), the continuous notice control process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S100), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S100; Y), a process of decrementing the continuous notice number counter by 1 (step S101) is performed, and the continuous notice is given. It is determined whether or not the value of the number counter is 0 (step S102).

  In the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is 0 (step S102), if the value of the continuous notice number counter is not 0 (step S102; N), the continuous notice control process is terminated.

Thereafter, a process of setting a continuous notice end flag (step S104) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is ended. Note that, by the process of setting the continuous notice end flag, the continuous notice end information is included in the change start command transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  As shown in FIG. 35, in the special figure changing process performed when the process number is 2 in the game branching process (step S32) (see FIG. 28), first, the special figure changing display game has the timing of the end of the changing display. Is determined (step S110). In the determination of whether or not the special figure fluctuation display game is the timing of the end of the variable display (step S110), if the special figure fluctuation display game is not the timing of the end of the fluctuation display (step S110; N), the stop symbol replacement flag. It is determined whether or not there is (step S111).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a stop symbol replacement flag (step S111), if there is no stop symbol replacement flag (step S111; N), the special symbol variation processing is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a stop symbol replacement flag (step S111), if there is a stop symbol replacement flag (step S111; Y), a process of setting a replacement stop symbol designation command (step S112) is performed. A process for clearing the stop symbol replacement flag (step S113) is performed, and the special figure changing process is terminated. The replacement stop designating command set here is transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  In addition, when it is determined whether or not the special figure variation display game is at the timing of the end of the variable display (step S110), if the special figure variation display game is at the timing of the end of the variable display (step S110; Y), the decorative special feature is displayed. A process of setting a figure stop command (step S114) is performed. This decoration special figure stop command is transmitted to the production control device 40, and a stop symbol in the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on this command.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (step S115), and if it is a big hit (step S115; Y), a process for setting a stoppage display time for big hit (step S116) is performed to perform a special figure changing process.

Further, in the determination of whether or not it is a big hit (step S115), if it is not a big hit (step S115; N), the process of setting the stop display time for losing is performed (step S117) and the special figure changing process is terminated. To do.

  The effect control device 40 performs a hold information setting process shown in FIG. 36 as a process related to the special figure variation display game. In this hold information setting process, first, it is determined whether or not a hold information command has been received (step S120). The hold information command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the start memory is generated, and includes information related to the start memory. This hold information command includes a decoration special figure hold information command, off-set variation pattern information, jackpot variation pattern information, information related to setting of a normal continuous notice flag and a specific continuous notice flag, and the like. In the determination of whether or not the hold information command has been received (step S120), if the hold information command has not been received (step S120; N), the hold information setting process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the hold information command has been received (step S120), if the hold information command has been received (step S120; Y), a process of acquiring hold number information (step S121) is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the hold number information (step S121), the process of acquiring the hold number information is performed based on the decorative special figure hold number command which is one of the hold information commands. Next, the process (step S122) which acquires the determination information regarding the said suspension is performed.

In the process of acquiring determination information related to the hold (step S122), one of the hold information commands, that is, deviation variation pattern information, jackpot change Determination information is acquired based on the pattern information.

  Next, it is determined whether there is a continuous notice start command (step S123). The continuous notice start command is transmitted to the effect control apparatus 40 when execution of the continuous notice is determined in the game control device 30 and the normal continuous notice flag or the specific continuous notice flag is set. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice start command (step S123), if there is no continuous notice start command (step S123; N), a process for storing determination information related to the hold (step S127) is performed. The hold information setting process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice start command (step S123), if there is a continuous notice start command (step S123; Y), the number of start memories until the suspension is set in the effect continuous notice number counter. The process (step S124) to perform is performed. Thereafter, it is determined whether there is a replacement stop designating command (step S125). The production control device 40 sets the production continuous notice flag based on the reception of the continuous notice start command.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a replacement stop designating command (step S125), if there is no replacement stop designating command (step S125; N), a process of storing determination information related to the hold (step S127) is performed. Then, the hold information setting process ends. In the determination of whether or not there is a replacement stop symbol designation command (step S125), if there is a replacement stop symbol designation command (step S125; Y), a process of replacing the stop symbol information (step S126) is performed. A process of storing determination information related to the hold (step S127) is performed, and the hold information setting process is terminated. In this way, by using the identification information that stops last as the specific identification information, it is possible to start notification from the special-figure display game in which execution of the continuous effect is determined. Further, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for continuous performance until the final stage of the special figure variation display game, and to improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, since the specific identification information is displayed for notification, even if the variation pattern of the variation display game being executed is a variation pattern with a short variation time, it is possible to produce an effect, and the player knows the execution of the continuous notice. It can be easily notified.

  In addition, the effect control device 40 performs a variable display game stop process as a process related to the stop of the variable display game. As shown in FIG. 37, in the variation display game stop process, it is first determined whether or not a variation stop command has been received (step S130). The change stop command is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the stop timing of the special figure change display game. In the determination of whether or not this change stop command has been received (step S130), if the change stop command has not been received (step S130; N), the change display game stop process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the change stop command has been received (step S130), if the change stop command has been received (step S130; Y), the change stop setting for stopping the decoration special figure change display game is set. Processing (step S131) is performed.

To do. Further, in the determination of whether or not the value of the effect continuous notice count counter is 0 (step S134), if the value of the effect continuous notice count counter is 0 (step S134; Y), the effect continuous notice is displayed. A process of clearing the flag (step S135) is performed, and the variable display game stop process is terminated.

  Further, the effect control device 40 performs a variable display game start process shown in FIG. 38 at the start of the special figure variable display game. In this variation display game start process, first, it is determined whether or not a variation start command has been received (step S140). The variation start command includes information regarding the contents of the special figure variation display game, and is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game. In the determination of whether or not this change start command has been received (step S140), if the change start command has not been received (step S140; N), the change display game start process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not a change start command has been received (step S140), if a change start command has been received (step S140; Y), a process of acquiring a change pattern number (step 141) is performed.

  The variation pattern number is for determining the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game, and is selected based on the variation pattern random number stored in the start memory in the game control device 30 at the start of the special figure variation display game. Is transmitted to the production control device 40. In the process of acquiring the variation pattern number (step S141), a process of acquiring the variation pattern number transmitted from the game control device 30 is performed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether there is a continuous notice end command (step S142). The continuous notice end command is a command transmitted to the effect control apparatus 40 when the game control apparatus 30 determines the end of the continuous notice. When it is determined whether there is a continuous notice end command (step S142), if there is a continuous notice end command (step S142; Y), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the continuous notice final table (step S146). Is performed, a variation pattern setting process (step S145) is performed, and the variation display game start process is terminated. With this process, the final stage of continuous notice is executed. Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice end command (step S142), if there is no continuous notice end command (step S142; N), it is determined whether or not there is an effect continuous notice flag (step S143). I do.

  In the determination of whether or not there is an effect continuous notice flag (step S143), if there is an effect continuous notice flag (step S143; Y), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the continuous notice selection table (step S143). S144) is performed. Further, in the determination of whether or not there is an effect continuous notice flag (step S143), when there is no effect continuous notice flag (step S143; N), a process of selecting a corresponding variation pattern from the normal selection table (step S143; N) Step S147) is performed.

  Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step S145) is performed, and the variation display game start process is terminated. In the variation pattern setting process (step S145), a variation pattern is selected from the obtained variation pattern number and the selected selection table. With the above processing, the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game is determined. That is, the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40 have continuous effect control means for executing a continuous effect in a plurality of special figure variation display games over a special figure variation display game based on a start memory accompanied by establishment of a predetermined condition. Eggplant. In addition, the production control device 40 serves as an informing means for informing the execution of continuous production.

  An example in which the continuous notice is executed by the above processing is shown in FIGS. In this example, the start memory | storage which satisfy | fills predetermined conditions within the stop symbol replacement possible period generate | occur | produced, and the example in which execution of the continuous notice was determined was shown.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (a), d is generated from the start memory b during execution of the special figure variation display game A (t2, t3, t4 in FIG. 39), and as shown in FIG. 40 (b). When the start memory e is generated (t5 in FIG. 39) and the execution of the continuous notice is determined, the last stop symbol of the special figure variation display game A is replaced. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 40 (c), the specific identification information 80 (display of “continuous hit”) for notifying the player of the execution of the continuous notice is displayed as the final stop symbol (t7 in FIG. 39). . That is, at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game A, it has not been determined that the continuous notice is executed, but since the execution of the continuous notice is decided during the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game A, The final stop symbol of the special figure variation display game A is changed to the specific identification information 80. As a result, it is possible to make it appear that the continuous notice starts from the special figure variation display game A, the start timing of the continuous production is advanced, and it is possible to execute the continuous production more times than the start memory number, A more effective performance can be performed.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 40D to 40F, the final stop symbol in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory b in which the first continuous notice is performed is also included in the specific identification information 80 (“continuous hit”). Is displayed) (FIG. 40 (f)). In this way, in the variable display game while the continuous presentation is being executed, the identification information that stops last in the variable display game is the specific identification information, so that the presentation effect related to the continuous notice can be enhanced. it can. That is, since the specific identification information is repeatedly displayed during the execution of the continuous performance, it is possible to easily notify the player of the execution of the continuous notice. Further, even if the variation pattern of the variation display game is a variation pattern with a short variation time, it is possible to produce an effect. Further, the continuous advancement proceeds, and as shown in FIGS. 40 (h) to (i) or (j), a special reach is executed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory e, and the result of the jackpot result (FIG. 40 (i)) or the result mode of deviation (FIG. 40 (j)) is displayed.

  Through the processing as described above, the continuous notice can be started from the special figure variation display game that is executed when the execution of the continuous notice is decided. That is, the continuous notice can be started earlier than the continuous notice is started from the special figure changing display game executed next to the special figure changing display game executed when the execution of the continuous notice is decided. Therefore, even if a continuous presentation is determined during the execution of the special figure variation display game, the continuous presentation can be started immediately from the running variation display game, so the start timing of the continuous presentation is accelerated, In addition, it is possible to execute a continuous production more times than the number of starting memories, and a more effective production can be performed.

  Next, a first modification of the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of this modification is different in the processing related to the end of continuous notice.

  In the gaming machine of this modification, the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 41 is performed instead of the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. In this continuous advance notice setting process, only when the process of setting the normal continuous advance notice flag (step S77) is performed, the process of setting the number of starting memories until the suspension is set in the continuous advance notice counter (step S76). And when the process (step S75) which sets a specific continuous advance notice flag is performed, the process (step S150) which sets a specific continuous advance notice flag is performed, and a continuous advance notice setting process is complete | finished. The specific continuous notice end flag is set corresponding to the start memory that triggered the execution of the continuous notice.

  Also, instead of the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 34, the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 42 is performed. In this continuous notice control process, it is determined whether or not there is a specific continuous notice end flag (step S160). If there is a specific continuous notice end flag (step S160; Y), the continuous notice flag is set. A clearing process (step S103) is performed. When there is no specific continuous notice end flag (step S160; N), processing for the continuous notice number counter (steps S101 and S102) is performed.

  Through the processing as described above, the final stage of the continuous notice is executed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory in which the specific continuous notice end flag is set, and the continuous notice ends. That is, it is not necessary to manage the number of executions by the counter during the execution of the continuous notice, and the control burden can be reduced.

  It should be noted that processing for setting a flag similar to the specific continuous notice end flag may be performed for the normal continuous notice. That is, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 41, the process of setting the specific continuous notice end flag (step S76) is the process of setting the continuous notice end flag. Then, after performing the process of setting the normal continuous notice flag (step S77), the process of setting the continuous notice end flag is performed to end the continuous notice setting process. In the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 42, the determination as to whether or not there is a specific continuous notice end flag (step S160) is made as to whether or not there is a continuous notice end flag. If there is a continuous notice end flag, a process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S103) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is ended. If there is no continuous notice end flag, the continuous notice control process is terminated. According to such a process, it is not necessary to manage the number of executions by the counter during the execution of the continuous notice, and the control burden can be reduced.

  Note that the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine as shown in the above-described embodiment as a gaming machine, for example, other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, sparrow ball gaming machines, etc. It can be applied to all gaming machines that use this game ball. Also, by applying the first embodiment and the third embodiment to the same variation display game, in addition to the notification of the specific state by the special identification information, the middle symbol of the variation display game being executed is replaced. Thus, it is possible to execute a highly interesting variable display game having elements such as continuous notice.

  In addition, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
