Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide means for avoiding unnecessary forced investment by shifting a game state on an auxiliary game side to an advantageous game state to a player when the game state on a main game side is a high-probability variable game state so that a game ball can easily enter a main game side starting hole though it is hard to recognize from outside that the game state on the main game side is internally the high-probability variable game state. <P>SOLUTION: The Pachinko game machine is of such a type that the game state on the main game side can be shifted to a high-probability lottery state in which a lottery is executed at higher probability than in a regular game state after termination of a special game, and that the game state on the auxiliary game side can be also shifted in conjunction with the shift of the game state on the main game side. The Pachinko game machine is configured to suspend the drive of a variable member in the opened state till a prescribed period elapses after termination of the special game even if auxiliary game side identification information is stopped in a specific mode (a condition for the opened state of the variable member) after termination of the special game. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention is advantageous to the player when the identification information is displayed on the identification information display unit after being variably displayed on the identification information display unit for a predetermined time based on the game ball entering the starting port, and the stop identification information is in a predetermined mode. A pachinko gaming machine of a type that shifts to a special gaming state, and transitions from a normal gaming state in which the predetermined mode is selected with a predetermined probability to a high probability lottery gaming state in which the predetermined mode is selected with a higher probability than the predetermined probability. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that is possible and includes means for supporting entry into a starting port.

  Currently, the most popular pachinko machine is the main game called “special symbol” on the display section of 7-segment, etc., when a game ball enters the start gate for the main game. When the identification information is displayed in a variable manner and the special symbol is in a predetermined mode (for example, “7”), the special gaming state in which the player is in a profit state higher than the normal gaming state {the grand prize that is normally closed. A model that is called “Digipachi”, a type that shifts to a game whose contents are opened by a predetermined condition (an attacker) {a conventional “first-class game machine” or a “multi-function machine” {a conventional “first game” A gaming machine having two functions of a “type 1 gaming machine” (including a small hitting development function), a gaming machine having the functions of a conventional “type 1 gaming machine” and a conventional “type 2 gaming machine”}} It is.

  Here, in most gaming machines, a variable member that assists the entry of a game ball into the start port is provided near the entrance of the main game start port. Then, when the transition to the specific game state (probability variation game, time-reduced game) is triggered by the end of the special game, the open state time of the variable member per unit time is extended as compared to the normal game state ( Auxiliary gaming side specific gaming state). As a result, by observing the operation pattern of the variable member, it is possible to recognize whether or not the game has shifted to the specific game state after the special game ends. By the way, there are the following three methods for extending the open state time of the variable member per unit period in the auxiliary game side specific state. First, the open lottery of the variable member is executed by using a random number for auxiliary lottery acquired when the game ball passes through the auxiliary game start port. Then, after the auxiliary game side identification information is changed for a predetermined time based on the lottery, the stop identification information is displayed. As described above, the auxiliary game side identification information fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops, and the fluctuation time is shifted to the auxiliary game side time-reduced game state shorter than the auxiliary game side normal game state (one point). Eye, “Auxiliary game side time saving gaming state”). Next, when the stop symbol is a specific symbol, the variable member will be released. As a probability that this specific symbol will be selected, a transition to the auxiliary game side high probability lottery game state higher than the auxiliary game side normal game state is made. (Second point, hereinafter referred to as “auxiliary game side high probability lottery game state”). Finally, after this specific symbol stops, the variable member is in the open state, but the open state is shifted to the variable member open extension state in which the open time is longer than the auxiliary game side normal game state. (Third point, hereinafter referred to as “variable member open extended state”).

  By the way, as described above, the transition to the auxiliary game side specific game state is normally performed in conjunction with the transition of the main game side game state. Accordingly, the main game side can be determined by observing whether or not the auxiliary game side specific game state has been changed, that is, the variation time of the auxiliary game side identification information, the stop frequency in the specific mode, and the length of the opening time of the variable member. However, it can be estimated that the gaming state has shifted.

  On the other hand, as described above, the main game side normal game state and the main game side high probability lottery game state that is easier to win than the state exist as the main game side specific game state. By the way, switching to the main game side high probability lottery game state is executed with a special game (big hit) as an opportunity, but in recent pachinko machines, the number of winnings at this special game is extremely reduced, In other words, there is a so-called “sudden probability variation jackpot” that functions only to switch the gaming state. And on models with such “sudden probability variation jackpots”, as with this “sudden probability jackpot”, there are extremely few winnings in special games, and after the special games, the main game side high probability There are often wins (such as small wins) that do not shift to the lottery game state and are almost indistinguishable from “sudden probability big hits” in appearance. By the way, “Sudden probability big hit” and “small hit” that triggered the special game with extremely few winnings can be understood by checking the stop display of the main game side identification information. Since the main game side identification information is displayed inconspicuously by segments, LEDs, etc., many players have not confirmed the display. Therefore, with this configuration, when a special game with an extremely small number of winnings is executed, it is determined whether or not the main game side gaming state shifts to the high probability lottery gaming state after the special game is executed. Can not be grasped by the person.

By the way, as another method to make it impossible for the player to know whether or not the main game side has entered the high-probability lottery game state when a special game with extremely few winnings is executed, on the auxiliary game side It is employed that the game state is not shifted to the auxiliary game side specific game state in conjunction with the high probability lottery game state on the main game side. This is because the “small hit” that triggers the execution of a special game with extremely few winnings is a symbol that cannot change the game state on the main game side. That is, when it is configured to always shift to the auxiliary game side specific game state in conjunction with the high probability lottery game state on the main game side, if it does not shift to the auxiliary game side specific game state after the special game, This is because it is determined that the hit of the special game is “small hit”.
JP2009-273937

  As described above, by making it difficult to grasp the game state on the main game side, it is possible to increase the phase of increasing the player's expectation, and as a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. However, if it is configured so that the game state on the auxiliary game side is not shifted in conjunction with the main game side high probability variation game state in the situation where the main game side high probability variation game state is internal, the main game side start port If the lottery continues to be lost even though it is difficult to enter the ball or the probability is high, unnecessary investment may be forced even though the main game side high probability variation gaming state is easy to win. Therefore, the present invention can shift to a high-probability lottery state in which a lottery is executed with a higher probability than in the normal game state as a main game side game state after the end of the special game. In a pachinko machine of the type that can shift the auxiliary gaming side gaming state in conjunction with it, it is difficult to grasp from the outside that it is the main gaming side high probability variation gaming state, but the main gaming side high probability variation gaming state It is an object of the present invention to provide means for avoiding unnecessary investment by shifting the auxiliary game side game state to a state advantageous to the player and making it easy to enter the main game start port.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the specification will be described. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.). Information that is output through a certain thing {for example, related to identification information for main game (special symbol) and auxiliary game identification information (ordinary symbol) managed on the main control device side, and production game managed on the sub control device side Decorative design}. The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) for determining a certain game content in a pachinko gaming machine, and includes a pseudo random number in addition to a narrowly defined random number (for example, a hard random number Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Variation mode determination random number” for determining, “symbol determination random number” for determining a stop symbol, “winning symbol determination random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Satisfying the variation start condition of the main game identification information” indicates that the special game is not being played and the main game identification information is not being changed. “Satisfying a specific condition” means, for example, when the stop identification information of the main game identification information that has become a special game transition opportunity is in a special mode, and / or when the special game transition is determined (for example, This refers to a case where the main game side game state is a predetermined game state. “Satisfying the variation start condition of identification information for auxiliary game” means that the variable member is not being opened or reserved, and is not changing the identification information for auxiliary game. The “predetermined period after the end of the special game” is counted, for example, at a predetermined timing after the end of the special game (for example, the timing of the end of the special game, the timing at which the auxiliary game identification information is first stopped after the end of the special game). Identification information (main game identification information or auxiliary game identification information) or a predetermined timing after the end of the special game (for example, the end timing of the special game, the auxiliary game identification information is first stopped after the end of the special game) Time) can be given as an opportunity. The “specific timing based on the predetermined period” is not limited as long as the predetermined time is set as a reference. For example, the same timing as the predetermined period, the predetermined period ± specific period (for example, a predetermined period) Period ± main game identification information within 10 fluctuations) or the predetermined period ± specific time (for example, within a predetermined period ± 10 seconds).

  According to the present invention (1), after the special game is over, the main game side game state can shift to a high probability lottery state in which a lottery is executed with a higher probability than in the normal game state, and the main game side game state In a pachinko gaming machine of the type in which the auxiliary gaming side gaming state can shift in conjunction with the transition of the game, when the auxiliary gaming side identification information is stopped in a specific mode (one condition of the variable member open state) after the special game ends. Even so, it is reserved to drive the variable member in the open state until the predetermined period after the end of the special game elapses. Therefore, the unit per unit time of the variable member until the predetermined period elapses after the end of the special game. As a result of not being able to confirm the opening time, it is possible to secure a situation where it is difficult to grasp from the outside that it is the main game side high probability variation game state internally, but after a predetermined period has passed since the end of the special game, Partially, in the case of the main game side high probability variable game state, the opening time per unit time of the variable member is extended, so it is possible to force unnecessary investment by making it easier to enter the start side of the main game side. There is an effect that it can be avoided.

  According to the present invention (2), in addition to the above-described effect, the main game side gaming state is notified or suggested at a specific timing based on a predetermined period in which the release operation reservation of the variable member is released. Therefore, when it becomes a situation where it can be grasped from the outside that it is a high probability fluctuation game state on the main game side, or when it approaches the situation, it is safe for the player by notifying or suggesting the game state on the main game side There is an effect that it is possible to give a feeling.

  According to the present invention (3), in addition to the above effect, at least during a predetermined period (period during which the opening operation of the variable member is reserved) from the end of the special game, the variation mode (variation time) of the auxiliary game side identification information, Since the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (and hence the main gaming side gaming state) cannot be discriminated even by looking at the stop identification information, it is difficult to grasp from the outside that it is the main gaming side high probability variation gaming state internally. There is an effect that the situation can be further secured.

Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the entry determination means 1110 is directed to the first special figure start opening entrance determination means 1111 and the second special figure start opening 2110 for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first special figure start opening 2210. 2nd special figure start opening entrance judging means 1112 for judging whether or not a game ball has entered, and a general figure start entrance entrance judging means for judging whether or not a game ball has flowed into the general start opening 2410 1113.

  Next, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not to acquire the first game content determination random number based on the game ball entering the first special figure starting port 2210, and according to the determination result, A first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 for acquiring random numbers (for example, a first winning random number, a first variation mode determining random number, a first special symbol determining random number, etc.) and a game ball to the second special figure starting port 2110 It is determined whether or not the second game content determination random number is acquired on the basis of the incoming game, and the random number (for example, the second winning random number, the second variation mode determining random number, the second special symbol determining random number is determined according to the determination result) Etc.) and a normal figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 for determining whether or not the normal symbol winning random number can be acquired and acquiring the random number based on the determination result; have.

  Here, the “random number” in the claims and the present specification including the above is “0” to “65535” or “ It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as “0” to “255”. The random number may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the value is expressed in order along the random number sequence (plus one method), the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value) ) With a contingent value (initial value update method), a combination of these, and the like.

  Next, the hold control unit 1130 determines whether or not to temporarily store the first game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the first special symbol variation permission is not granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is determined as a symbol. The first special figure holding means 1131 for holding in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a until the change permission is given, and the second game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the second special symbol change permission is not given. The second special figure holding means 1132 for holding the random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a until the symbol variation permission is granted based on the determination result, Decide whether or not to temporarily store the normal symbol winning random number acquired in a situation where the symbol variation permission has not been granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is temporarily stored until the symbol variation permission is granted And a Prussian diagram holding means 1133 for holding the 憶 means 1133a. Here, the first special figure holding means 1131, the second special figure holding means 1132 and the universal figure holding means 1133 are capable of storing up to four, and for temporarily storing the random numbers combined with the holding order. The first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a are provided. Furthermore, in addition to the random number, the first special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and the second special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1132a also temporarily store information related to the order in which the random number hold is released.

Next, the success / failure lottery means 1135 determines the transition to a special game when the result of the success / failure lottery is a big win or a small winner (for example, the special game execution permission flag is internally turned on). A means 1135a and a success / failure lottery table 1135b referred to when the success / failure lottery is performed are provided. Here, the success / failure lottery table 1135b is used when the success / failure lottery table for the first special symbol referred to when performing the success / failure lottery for the first special symbol 1135b-1 and the success / failure lottery for the second special symbol. And a second special figure use lottery table 1135b-3 to be referred to. In the best mode, the jackpot and the jackpot are configured in the same table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot and the jackpot may be determined using different tables. Here, Table 1 is an example of the success / failure lottery table 1135b. As can be seen from this table, the big hit probability is the same for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, but the small hit probability is set higher for the first special symbol than for the second special symbol. Note that the probability of jackpot and jackpot in the following is just an example.

  Next, the symbol content determination means 1140 determines the first special symbol content determination that determines the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the first special symbol based on the acquired first game content determination random number (first random number). Means 1141, second special figure content determining means 1142 for determining the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the second special symbol based on the acquired second game content determination random number (second random number), and There is a general symbol content determining means 1143 for determining a stop symbol of the normal symbol based on the normal symbol winning random number. Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the first special symbol content determining unit 1141 (second special symbol content determining unit 1142) refers to the first special symbol that is referred to when determining the stop symbol and the variation mode related to the first special symbol (second special symbol). The figure content determination lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a) is provided. The first special symbol content determination lottery table 1141a (second special symbol content determination lottery table 1142a) is referred to when determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol (second special symbol). Refer to the figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 (second special symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1) and when determining the variation mode (variation time) of the first special symbol (second special symbol). And a first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2). These are described in detail below.

First, Table 2 shows an example of the first special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 and the second special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1. As can be seen from the following example, there are a plurality of jackpot symbols in this best mode. As will be described later, the profit state at the time of the special game and the game state after the special game are determined based on the type of the symbol and the game state (this will be described later).

Next, Table 3 shows an example of the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2. In the best mode, both tables have the same configuration, and are summarized. First, in the best mode, the special figure short-time game is always attached during the special figure probability variation game (however, it is not always necessary to make such a structure). In the case of a special game with a short game, the variation time is selected to be relatively short compared to other loss tables. Furthermore, a different variation mode may be selected according to the number of reserved balls (for example, when there are three or four reserves at the time of holding digestion, a short variation time is selected. May be configured). Further, in the case of a loss in the limited frequency game, only one pattern of variation time is selected (in this example, only one pattern of variation time is selected even in the case of winning). In the best mode, the selected variation time is one pattern in the limited frequency state, but a plurality of patterns may be provided.

Next, the general symbol content determination means 1143 has a general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a that is referred to when determining a stop symbol related to a normal symbol. Furthermore, the general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a determines the normal symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1143a-1 that is referred to when the normal symbol stop symbol is determined, and the normal symbol variation mode (variation mode). A lottery table 1143a-2 for determining a customary figure change mode which is referred to at the time. Here, Table 4 shows an example of a lottery table 1143a-1 for determining a normal stop symbol. As can be seen from this table, in the best mode, in the case where the game state related to the normal symbol is either the normal game state or the specific game state (i.e. The selection rate of “7”, which is a winning symbol, is configured to be the same when the special game flag is on (in the normal game and short game). With this configuration, it becomes difficult to determine whether the game state related to the normal symbol is the normal game state or the specific game state, and as a result, the game state on the special symbol side that is associated with the game state on the normal symbol side is normal. It becomes difficult to determine whether the gaming state or the probability variation gaming state. Note that the winning probabilities in both game states (normal game state, specific game state) related to the normal symbol are configured to be the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. Like normal game machines, there is a big difference in the win probability in both game states. There may be.

Next, Table 5 shows an example of a reference variation mode determination reference table 1143a-2. As can be seen from this table, various reference tables are provided for each ordinary game state. Specifically, these tables show the normal game state of the normal game state (the general game specific game flag is off) and the normal game state of the normal game (the general game specific game flag is on). It is referred when determining the fluctuation time of the normal symbol at the time of the state. As can be seen from this table, in the best mode, in the case where the game state related to the normal symbol is either the normal game state or the specific game state (i.e. When the specific game flag is on, the normal symbol variation time is configured to be the same. With this configuration, it becomes difficult to determine whether the game state related to the normal symbol is the normal game state or the specific game state, and as a result, the game state on the special symbol side that is associated with the game state on the normal symbol side is normal. It becomes difficult to determine whether the gaming state or the probability variation gaming state. In addition, although it was comprised so that the variation time in both game states (normal game state, specific game state) regarding a normal symbol might be the same, it is not limited to this, Like a normal game machine, there is a big difference in the variation time in both game states. There may be.

  Next, the display control unit 1150 performs first control on the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 to stop and display after changing the first special symbol for a predetermined time. 1151, second special symbol control means 1152 for controlling to stop display after changing the second special symbol for a predetermined time on the second special symbol display unit 2231 of the second special symbol display device 2230, and normal symbol display There is a universal symbol control means 1154 for performing a control to stop and display after changing the normal symbol for a predetermined time on the universal symbol display unit 2421 of the device 2420.

  Here, the first special figure control means 1151 further includes a first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the first special figure content determination means 1141. Yes. The first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a further includes a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Next, the second special figure control means 1152 further comprises second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the second special figure content determination means 1142. Yes. The second special figure fluctuation time managing means 1152a further includes a second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Further, the universal symbol control means 1154 has an ordinary symbol fluctuation time management means 1154a for managing the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display unit 2421 of the ordinary symbol display device 2420. Further, the common figure change time management means 1154a further includes a normal figure change management timer 1154a-1 capable of measuring time.

  Next, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 determines whether or not the conditions for performing the process of opening and closing the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 are satisfied. Condition judgment means 1161 and electric chew release that holds the opening / closing process of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 even if the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol until the specific period elapses after the special game ends Reservation control means 1164, electric chew opening time determination reference table 1163 referred to when determining the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112, and the second special figure of the second special figure starting port 2110 And an electric chew opening time management timer 1162 for measuring the driving (opening) time of the start opening electric accessory 2112. Here, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 includes a specific period determining reference table 1164a referred to when determining the specific period, and an electric chew release for counting the number of times the special symbol has changed since the end of the special game. A reservation period counter 1164b (a special figure variation counter after the end of the special game).

Here, Table 6 shows an example of the reference table for determining the specific period 1164a. As can be seen from Table 6, in this best mode, the specific period is configured to be different depending on the type of the symbol of the special symbol. Then, it can be seen that the longer the specific period is selected, the higher the expectation degree of the special figure probability variation. 7A and 7B, as will be described later, since the special figure probability variation jackpot is a 15-round jackpot, the specific period after the end of the special game = special symbol variation 0 times is assigned (no specific period). Similarly, with regard to 1A and 1B won at the time of the special figure probability variation game, as will be described later, the special period after the special game ends = special symbol variation because the special figure time is shortened 100 times with the special figure non-probable change. 0 times are allocated (no specific period).

Next, Table 7 shows an example of the reference table 1163 for determining the electric chew release time. As can be seen from Table 7, in the usual figure specific game state, the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is set longer than the ordinary figure normal game state (open extension function).

Next, the special game control means 1170 determines whether or not the condition for shifting to the special game (bonus) is satisfied. Specifically, the special game (bonus) execution permission flag is won. If the condition determination means 1171 for determining whether or not has occurred and the special game transition condition is satisfied, the content of the special game (specifically, the big winning opening to be opened, the number of rounds, etc.) ) Is set in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and a special game (big hit) is made to open the first big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220 under predetermined conditions. Special game execution means 1173 for executing, and special management for performing time management of various processes related to the special game (for example, opening / closing time of the first big prize opening 2120 and the second big prize opening 2220) And a time management unit 1174. Here, the special game time management means 1174 further includes a special game management timer 1174a capable of measuring time. The special game content determination unit 1172 further includes a special game content reference table 1172a that is referred to when specifying the content of the special game to be set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Here, Table 8 is an example of a special symbol content reference table. In Table 8, “7A and 7B” is a high-profit special game that can win many balls. On the other hand, “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 5A, 5B, 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B” is a low-profit special game that hardly obtains a ball. Here, when “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 5A, 5B” and “2A, 2B, 4A, 4B” are compared, the number of rounds, the maximum duration of one round, the release mode of one round, etc. are internal. Although it is different, the same opening pattern will appear.

Next, the specific game control means 1180 includes a specific game availability / content determination means 1183 that determines the content of the specific game, and a specific game end condition determination means 1181 that determines whether or not the specific game state end condition is satisfied. And a specific game related information temporary storage means 1182 for temporarily storing information (flag or the like) related to the specific game. Here, the specific game availability / content determination means 1183 further includes a special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a that is referred to when determining whether or not to shift to a specific game related to a special symbol. Yes. Table 9 shows an example of a special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (particularly, a game state determination reference table).

  Here, before explaining the contents of Table 9, each gaming state in the best mode is organized. First, the “special figure probability variable game state” in the best mode refers to a state (the special figure probability variable flag is on) that has a higher probability of winning the transition to the special game than the “special figure normal game state”. Further, the “special-time short game state” refers to a state in which the variation time of the special symbol is relatively shorter than the “special-game normal game state” (the special-time short-time flag is on). As described above, in this best mode, when the game shifts to the special figure probability variation game, the special game time short game state is always transferred. In addition, the “special figure limitation frequency state” is originally referred to when the special figure certain change flag and / or the special figure short time flag are in a predetermined state when determining the variation mode of the special symbol a limited number of times. This refers to a state in which a special table different from the table to be referenced is referenced. For example, taking the table in Table 3 as an example, in the special figure probability variation game (special figure certain variation flag on, special figure short flag on), usually two tables in the second row of Table 3 (winning time, lost time) ) Is referenced. However, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the special figure probability changing state of the limited frequency state is entered even when the special figure probability variation game is performed with the predetermined number of times as an upper limit (third stage in Table 3).

Next, Table 10 is an example of a special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (especially a reference table for number determination) that is referred to when determining the number of game states when the game state is switched. Is shown. As can be seen from Table 10, in the case of special figure probability variable games, there is no limit on the number of times that the game can continue until the next jackpot. ). On the other hand, in the case of a regular game with a shortened time and a special figure limited frequency game, the game is configured to continue a predetermined number of times. In the case of special figure limited frequency games, different numbers of times are set depending on the winning symbol and the gaming state. In the best mode, these special figure limited frequency times are set to the same value as the specific period (the number of fluctuations of special symbols after special game) during which the opening / closing process of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is reserved. Has been. Here, the relationship between the special figure limited frequency count and the specific period will be described in more detail. First, as can be seen from Table 6, with respect to the winning symbols “7A” and “7B”, the number of rounds during the special game is 15 The player recognizes that the special figure probability variation state after the end of the special game is determined by the execution of the high profit special game. Therefore, there is no need to reserve the opening / closing process of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 and there is no reservation period (the number of special figure fluctuations after the end of the special game = 0). Therefore, it is not necessary to bother the limited frequency state even when the special symbol changes after the special game, and 0 is set as the limited frequency. Next, with respect to the winning symbols “3A”, “3B”, “5A”, “5B”, “2A”, “2B”, “4A” and “4B”, the player will be concerned only by looking at the special game. The game state after the end of the special game cannot be grasped. Therefore, the opening / closing process of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is reserved, and the reservation period corresponding to the winning symbol is set (see Table 6). Therefore, it is preferable to make the player recognize the specific period by setting the same variable time as the limited frequency state during the specific period even when the special symbol changes after the special game. For this reason, the same limited frequency is set as the number of fluctuations of the special symbol corresponding to the specific period determined according to the type of symbol (for example, the winning symbol “3A” has a specific period of 30 special symbol fluctuations). Because there is, the limited frequency count is set to 30). Finally, regarding the winning symbols “1A” and “1B”, the game state after the special game differs depending on the game state at the time of the special game. First, when the winning symbols “1A” and “1B” are in the special figure probability variation gaming state at the time of stopping, the time limit with a limited number of times is given after the special game ends. Since the probability change is not given in this short period of time, there is no execution of a hitting that gives a sense of expectation such as reserving the opening / closing process of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 (that is, in this case, immediately after the end of the special game) It is obvious to the player that the time is limited with a limited number of times). On the other hand, if the winning symbol “1A” or “1B” is stopped and the special figure is in the normal gaming state, the opening / closing process of the second special figure starting opening electric accessory 2112 is reserved as in the small hitting (2A, 4A, etc.). Execute a resentment that gives a sense of expectation.

Next, Table 11 is an example of a reference table 1183b for determining whether or not a specific game is possible / contents. As can be seen from this figure, in this best mode, the flag on / off on the normal symbol side is completely dependent on the on / off of the time-short flag on the special symbol side.

  Next, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 further includes a special figure short time counter 1181a capable of counting a special figure short time number and a special figure limited frequency counter 1181b capable of counting a special figure limited frequency number. Yes.

Next, at step 14, the main controller 1000 executes a normal game control process described later. Next, in step 1600, main controller 1000 executes a special game control process described later, and proceeds to step 5000. In step 5000, main controller 1000 (especially prize ball payout determining means 1400) transmits a command to prize ball payout control apparatus 3000 based on the winning opening where the game ball has won, and a predetermined number of winning balls. The payout process is performed, and the process returns to step 10 again. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the winning process according to the subroutine of step 10 in FIG. First, in step 1100, main controller 1000 executes a normal symbol winning random number acquisition process described later. In step 1300, main controller 1000 executes a game content determination random number acquisition process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 1200.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the normal symbol winning random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the general-purpose start entrance ball determining unit 1113 determines whether or not a game ball enters (inflow, passes) the general-purpose start entrance 2410. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the common random number acquisition determination execution unit 1123 refers to the general map hold information temporary storage unit 1133 a and determines whether the number of held balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the normal random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 acquires the normal symbol winning random number. Then, in step 1108, the ordinary figure holding means 1133 adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number in the ordinary figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a together with the order information indicating the number of holdings. The process proceeds to (game content determination random number acquisition process 1300). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the following process (game content determination random number acquisition process 1300).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first special figure start port entrance judging means 1111 receives the first special figure start entrance entrance information from the first special figure start entrance entrance detection device 2211 of the first special figure start port 2210. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 refers to the first special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1131a, and determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306 and step 1308, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 determines the first game content determination random number (first winning random number, first variation mode determination random number, first special symbol determination). Random number, etc.) and the first special figure holding means 1131 stores the first game content determination random number in the first special figure holding information temporarily together with the order information indicating what number of the first special symbol is held. Set in the means 1131a. Next, in step 1309, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, and obtains information as to what number of hold the random number is stored for the first special symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1310, the second special figure starting port entrance determining means 1112 receives the second special figure starting port entrance information from the second special figure starting port entrance detecting device 2111 of the second special figure starting port 2110. It is determined whether or not it has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 refers to the second special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1132a, and whether or not the number of the reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314 and step 1316, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 determines the second game content determination random number (second winning random number, second variation mode determination random number, second special symbol determination). Random number), and the second special figure holding means 1132 stores the second game content determination random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means together with the order information indicating what number of the second special symbol is held. Set to 1132a. Next, in step 1317, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and acquires information as to what number of hold the random number is stored for the second special symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the display control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to the next process (electric drive driving determination process 1200). In the case of No in step 1302 and step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1310, and in the case of No in step 1310 and step 1312, the process proceeds to the next process (electric drive driving determination process 1200).

Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the electric drive driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1260, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a, and determines whether or not the release reservation flag is off. Here, the “open reservation flag” is set to ON during a period (specific period) in which the opening of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is reserved even when the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol. It is a flag. In the case of Yes in step 1260, in step 1202, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the electric chew releasing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1154 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the ordinary figure content determining means 1143 refers to the ordinary figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the general symbol content determination means 1143 determines the stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball and the gaming state. Specifically, when the special figure specific game flag is off, the general figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1143a-1 for the normal figure normal game is referred to, and when the common figure specific game flag is on. Determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol with reference to the lottery table 1143a-1 for determining the symbol stop symbol for the special symbol specific game. Although the stop symbol of the normal symbol is determined based on the gaming state, in this best mode, the stop symbol of the same content is determined if the random number value is the same regardless of the gaming state of the normal symbol. (See Table 4). Next, in step 1210, the normal time fluctuation time management means 1154a sets a predetermined time in the normal time fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 based on the gaming state. Specifically, when the special figure specific game flag is off, the general figure change mode determination reference table 1143a-2 at the normal figure normal game is referred to, and when the special figure specific game flag is on. Refer to the reference table 1143a-2 for determining the normal figure change mode at the time of the special figure game. Although the variation mode of the normal symbol is determined based on the gaming state, in this best mode, the variation mode of the same content is determined if the random number value is the same regardless of the gaming state of the normal symbol. (See Table 5). Then, in step 1212, the normal figure control means 1154 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193 a. Next, in step 1214, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the reserved ball related to the normal symbol, and the normal-purpose control means. 1154 starts a normal symbol variation display on the universal symbol display unit 2421 after starting the common symbol variation management timer 1154a-1. Next, in step 1216, the common figure fluctuation time management means 1154a refers to the common figure fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1216, in step 1218, the general map control means 1154 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the general map content determination means 1143 in step 1208 on the general map display unit 2421. Then, in step 1220, the common figure control means 1154 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”.

  Here, when the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol, the opening operation of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is executed at the normal time. However, in this best mode, the opening operation of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is reserved until a specific period elapses after the special game ends under a predetermined condition. Therefore, first, in the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1250, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 determines whether or not the release reservation start permission flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a is on. Here, the “open reserve start permission flag” is a flag that is turned on after the end of the special game and that triggers the start of the electric chew release reserve (see step 1639 in FIG. 14). In the case of Yes in step 1250, in step 1252, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 turns on the release reservation flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1254, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 turns off the release reservation start permission flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1256, the electric-chu release reservation control means 1164 refers to the electric-chu release reservation period counter 1164b to determine whether or not a specific period has elapsed, that is, whether or not the counter value is zero. . In the case of Yes in step 1256, in step 1258, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 turns off the release reservation flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. If No in step 1250, that is, if it is not during the specific period, the process proceeds to step 1224. Further, in the case of No in step 1256, that is, when the specific period has not elapsed, the process proceeds to the next process (normal game process 14).

  After the above open reservation processing, in step 1224, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 sets the electric chew release time management timer 1162 for a predetermined time based on the gaming state at the time of the normal symbol stop (current). Specifically, 3 seconds is set when the normal time flag is on, and 0.1 second is set when the normal time flag is off (see Table 6). Next, in step 1226, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric chew release flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1228, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start port 2110. Next, in step 1230, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the electric chew opening time management timer 1162 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Steps 1232 and 1234, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 closes the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 and temporarily turns the auxiliary game related information temporarily. The electric chew release flag in the storage means 1193a is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (normal game process 14).

  In the case of No in step 1260, that is, when the opening of the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start port 2110 is reserved, the process proceeds to step 1256. If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1230. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1216. If NO in step 1206, step 1216, step 1222, and step 1230, the next process (normal) is performed. The process proceeds to game processing 14).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later. In step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a special game operation condition determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game control process 16).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process and the second special symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is common to the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, the first special symbol side will be mainly described, unless otherwise specified, and the second special symbol side will be written in parentheses. Describe. First, in step 1800, main controller 1000 executes variation start condition satisfaction determination processing described later. Next, in step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol (second special symbol) is on. Determine. The “variation start permission flag” is a flag that is turned on in a variation start condition satisfaction determination process, which will be described later, and that is turned on under the condition that a special game or a special symbol is not changing. In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage means 1190, and the first special symbol (first 2) The variation start permission flag relating to 2 special symbols) is turned off. Next, in step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The first game content determination random number (second game content determination random number) relating to the current symbol variation stored temporarily is read. Next, in step 1406, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 uses the first game content determination random number (first winning random number) {second game content determining random number (second winning random number)} and the game state for the first special figure. With reference to the success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-3), a special symbol success / failure (big hit, small hit) lottery is executed. In the best mode, the big win and the small win lottery are executed in the same lottery table. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the time of winning / not-winning lottery, the jackpot lottery is executed by referring to the jackpot lottery table first, and when the lottery is shifted to the jackpot lottery, the lottery lottery is executed by referring to the jackpot lottery table. Good. Further, the lottery lottery may be executed with reference to the lottery lottery table first, and the lottery lottery may be executed even when the lottery is lost or hit. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141 a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142 a). Referring to each lottery table, the first game content determination random number (for example, first special symbol determination random number, first variation mode determination random number) {second game content determination random number (for example, second special symbol determination random number, second variation) The stop symbol and the variation mode regarding the first special symbol (second special symbol) are determined based on the mode determination random number)}, and these are determined as the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special graphic information temporary storage unit 1192b). Temporarily store. The table to be referred to is determined based on the result of the success / failure and the gaming state (probability variation gaming state, limited frequency gaming state, etc.) (and so on). Next, in step 1414, the information transmitting means 1300 performs effect control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) determined in step 1412. It transmits to the means 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time {the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1412} to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1418, the first special symbol control means 1151 (second special symbol control means 1152) makes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230 second of the second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130. On the special figure display unit 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started according to the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a).

  In step 1422, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). On the other hand, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 (the second special symbol display device 2230 of the first special symbol display unit 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as.

  Next, in step 1438, the game control means 1100 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and determines whether or not the winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control unit 1100 turns off the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Next, in step 1446, the game control means 1100 turns on the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. In the case of No in step 1438, the process proceeds to step 1428.

  Next, in step 1428, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is in step 1428, and the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is the first flag. The changing flag in the temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) is turned off. Then, in step 1430, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) performs first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset. Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  If NO in step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1432, the process proceeds to step 1422, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the variation start condition satisfaction determination process related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol according to the subroutine of steps 1800 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, and determines whether or not the special game is being played. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the first special symbol and the second special symbol are currently changing. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 determines whether or not there is a preferential digest side hold, that is, a second special symbol side hold in this example. In the case of Yes in Step 1808, in Step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 accesses the special digest information temporary storage means (second special graphic information temporary storage means 1192b), and the priority digest side temporary storage means 1192b. The variation start permission flag related to the second special symbol is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1808 (when there is no hold on the priority digest side), in step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 determines whether there is a hold on the non-prior digestion side. . In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 turns on the variation permission flag relating to the first special symbol on the non-priority digest side, and proceeds to the next processing (step 1402). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402) also in the case of No in step 1802 or step 1804.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1451, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1451, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure short time counter 1181 a and determines whether or not the special figure short time counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the short time counter value of the special figure short time counter 1181a. Next, at step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure short time counter 1181a to determine whether or not the special figure short time counter is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the specific game control unit 1180 turns off the special figure time reduction flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1190. Further, in step 1459, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the normal game specific game flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Thus, in the best mode, the specific game specific game flag is configured to be linked with the special symbol time reduction flag. The end processing of the special symbol time-saving game and the normal symbol specific game linked with the special game time-saving game is completed.

  Next, in step 1460, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182 and determines whether or not the special figure limitation frequency flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1460, in step 1462, the specific game control means 1180 decrements the counter value of the special figure limited frequency counter 1181b by 1. Next, in step 1464, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure limited frequency counter 1181b and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1464, in step 1466, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the special figure limitation frequency flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190. In step 1468, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits the limited frequency end information to the sub-board (effect control unit 2320) side. Note that, as will be described later, on the sub-board side that has received the limited frequency end information, control for notifying the current gaming state is triggered by the reception of the information. The special symbol limited frequency game ending process is thus completed.

  In the case of No in step 1451, step 1452, and step 1456, the process proceeds to step 1460, and in the case of No in step 1460 and step 1464, the process proceeds to step 1474.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on the predetermined mode. . In step 1507, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily stores the current game state (the game state immediately before shifting to the special game) in the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182, and proceeds to step 1508. This game state information is used when determining the game state after the end of the special game. This completes the special game content setting process.

  Next, in step 1508, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the current hit is not a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 turns off the special figure probability changing flag in the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190.

  Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game end condition determination means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190 and turns off the special figure time reduction flag. In step 1520, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 clears the special figure short time counter 1181b to set the short time to zero. Further, in step 1521, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190, turns off the normal game specific game flag, and proceeds to step 1522. As described above, the termination process such as the time reduction state is temporarily terminated. Note that if the result is No in step 1522, the process proceeds to step 1522.

  Next, in step 1522, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the special figure limitation frequency flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1522, in step 1524, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and turns off the special figure limitation frequency flag. In step 1526, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 clears the special figure limitation frequency counter 1181b to set the limitation frequency to 0, and proceeds to step 1528. Thus, the end process of the limited frequency state is finished. In the case of No in step 1522, the process proceeds to step 1528.

  After finishing the above processing, in step 1528, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to the next processing (special game control processing in step 1600). Transition. Even in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1626 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution unit 1173 sets the release pattern (for example, release) set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Set the opening pattern to continue and the pattern to open and close. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and confirms which of the first grand prize winning port 2120 or the second grand prize winning port 2220 is to be opened. The first grand prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port 2220 is driven by driving the first grand prize port electric role 2122 or the second big prize port electric role 2222, and the first big prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port. 2220 is released and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game management timer 1174a (particularly, an open time timer) and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game management timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the round is the final round (for example, 9 rounds if the big win, 1 round if the big win) It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1639, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 accesses the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and turns on the release reservation start permission flag. In the best mode, the open reservation start permission flag is set to ON regardless of whether or not the opening of the electric chew is reserved (if the electric chew is not reserved, The flag is turned off immediately). However, it may be configured not to turn on the flag when the opening of the electric chew is not reserved. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect control means 2320 side. In step 9000, the game control means 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1190 to acquire the symbol information that has been the trigger for this time, and refers to the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182. The normal game state information of this time (information temporarily stored in step 1507 in FIG. 13) is acquired. Next, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 determines the special figure game state with reference to the special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183 a based on the information acquired in step 9002, and temporarily stores the game state. The determined special figure game state is set in the storage means 1190. Next, in step 9006, the specific game control means 1180 determines the general game state by referring to the general table specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b based on the special game state information determined in step 9004. Then, the determined ordinary game state is set in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Next, in step 9007, the electric chew release reservation control means 1164 specifies based on the information acquired in step 9002 (special figure winning symbol that triggered the transition of special game, gaming state at the time of determining the special game transition). A specific period (in this example, the number of changes in the special symbol) is determined with reference to the period determination reference table 1164a, and then set in the electric chew release reservation period counter 1164b. In step 9008, the specific game control unit 1180 receives the winning symbol information temporarily stored in the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and the current normal game state information temporarily stored in the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182. To clear. In step 9010, the information transmitting means 1300 transmits the determined gaming state to the sub-board side, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 7100, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display process described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control unit 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display control processing described later. Next, in step 6400, the effect control means 2320 executes a gaming state notification control process described later. In step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 6400. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

First, in step 7102, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322 b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether or not hold information is received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 7102, in step 7104, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322 b adds 1 to the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322 b-1. In step 7105, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b displays the same number of hold as the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and the next processing {step 6100 (1) The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display content determination process}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7102, in step 7106, the drawing hold information display control means 2322b refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and whether or not new symbol information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. Determine. If Yes in step 7106, in step 7108, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. In step 7110, the effect control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 7105.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. Here, since step 6100 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6100 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether new symbol information has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination means 2322 a-1 is based on the symbol information received in step 6102 and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322 a-1-1 and stop symbol determination. With reference to the lottery table 2322a-1-2, the decoration pattern variation mode and the stop symbol are determined. In step 6106, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination flag, and performs the next process {step 6200 (1). The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display control process}.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since step 6200 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6200 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322a and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6204, in step 6206 and step 6208, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c and sets the symbol content determination flag. Turn off. Next, in step 6210, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a follows the determined contents temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c on the drawing display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310. Starts variable display of decorative symbols.

  In step 6212, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2121a and determines whether or not a final display command has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6214, the decoration symbol display control means 2322a follows the determination contents (stop symbols) temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed on the display unit 2311. In step 6216, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300). Transition.

  If NO in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212. If NO in step 6204 and step 6212, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the gaming state notification control process according to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. First, in step 6402, the effect control means 2320 refers to the special figure main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not limited frequency end information (see step 1468 in FIG. 12) has been received. In the case of Yes in step 6402, in step 6404, the effect control means 2320 notifies the current gaming state (see step 9010 in FIG. 15), and proceeds to the next processing (display processing during special game in step 6300). In addition, also in the case of No in step 6402, the process proceeds to the next process (display process during special game in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the special game (during jackpot) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control unit 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306 and step 6308, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and makes a big hit on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310, the display control means 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 1624. Next, in Step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2121a and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 7100). Transition. If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in step 6304 and step 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management / holding display control process in step 7100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 22 shows the open reservation of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 after the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol after winning the small hit (“2A”) in the special symbol normal gaming state. It is the timing chart which showed a mode. Also, FIG. 23 shows the opening of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 after the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol after winning the special symbol probability variation jackpot (“5A”) in the special symbol normal gaming state. It is the timing chart which showed the mode of reservation.

  First, from the case of FIG. 22, regarding the predetermined number of times after the end of the special game, the state shifts to a special figure limited frequency state in which the limited frequency table is referred to when determining the variation pattern of the special symbol (when the special game is triggered). If the winning symbol is “2A”, the special figure will change 10 times). In this example, the winning symbol (“7”) stops at the first normal symbol variation after the end of the special game.

  Here, in normal time (that is, in a situation where the period is not a specific period), the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is opened immediately after the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol. However, in this best mode, even when the condition for shifting to the open state is satisfied, the shift to the open state is reserved for a specific period. There are two reasons for this. First, in the conventional machine, even if you win per special figure probability change, after the hit, move to a special figure game (typically a short-time game) There is a case not to do. However, with this configuration, despite the fact that the winning of each special figure probability has been won and the next jackpot is virtually guaranteed, it will not be possible to get into the starting gate. This may lead to a situation where The best mode is aimed at avoiding such a situation. Next, in the conventional machine, when winning per special figure probability change, there is a case where, after the winning is finished, the game always shifts to a special figure specific game (typically, a short game at a normal figure). However, when configured in this way, even if it is difficult to recognize the winning attribute to the player and to enhance the interest of the game, by checking the open state of the electric Chu after the winning end, in what gaming state at present There is a situation that is obvious to the player. This best mode aims to avoid such a situation.

  As described above, even if the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol, the electric chew is kept open during a specific period. Specifically, in this example, since the winning symbol is “2A”, the specific period is “special figure fluctuation frequency = 10 times” (see Table 6). Then, after the special game ends, the special symbol fluctuates 10 times, and then the release of the electric chew is released and the electric chew is released. Here, internally, the special figure certain change / short time flag is off, and the special figure specific game flag linked to this is also off, so the opening time of the electric Chu is 0.1 second (see Table 7). ). In other words, the player who sees the opening time of the electric chew internally recognizes that the special figure probability change / short time flag and the normal figure specific game flag are off. At the end of the specific period, the current gaming state such as “Sorry, it is a normal gaming state” is notified on the effect display device 2310.

  Next, the case of FIG. 23 will be described. Here, the difference from the case of FIG. 22 is that the winning symbol of the special game is “5A”. Due to this, the game state after the end of the special game is a special figure probability changing game / time-short game state + normal figure specific game state. For the specific period (same as the special figure limited frequency period in this example), “2A” in the case of FIG. 22 and “5A” in the case of this figure are the same (Table 6). Therefore, the diagram will be described in time series. First, in this example, the winning symbol (“7”) is stopped in the first normal symbol variation after the end of the special game. In this best mode, the winning probability and the variation time of the normal symbol are not distinguished between the case of the normal game normal game state and the case of the normal game specific game state internally (see Tables 4 and 5). Therefore, it is configured so that the gaming state cannot be grasped even if attention is paid to the stop symbol and the variation time of the normal symbol. Then, after the special game ends, the special symbol fluctuates 10 times, and then the release of the electric chew is released and the electric chew is released. Here, internally, the special figure probability change / short time flag is on, and the special figure specific game flag linked to this is also on, so the opening time of the electric Chu is 3 seconds (see Table 7). Therefore, by confirming the long open time, the player recognizes internally that the special figure probability change / short time flag and the usual figure specific game flag are on. At the end of the specific period, the current gaming state such as “Congratulations, the probability varying gaming state” is notified on the effect display device 2310.

  According to this best mode, after the end of the special game, the main game side game state can shift to a high probability lottery state where a lottery is executed with a higher probability than in the normal game state, and the transition of the main game side game state In the pachinko gaming machine of the type that can shift the auxiliary gaming side game state in conjunction with the game, the auxiliary gaming side identification information is stopped in a specific mode (one condition of the variable member open state) after the special game is finished. However, since it is reserved to drive the variable member in the open state until the predetermined period after the special game ends, the open time per unit time of the variable member until the predetermined period elapses after the special game ends. As a result, it is possible to secure a situation in which it is difficult to grasp from the outside that the main game side is a high-probability variation game state internally. In the case of the main game side high probability variation game state, since the opening time per unit time of the variable member is extended, it is possible to avoid unnecessary investment by making it easier to enter the start side of the main game side There is an effect that it becomes possible to do.

  Furthermore, since the main game side gaming state is configured to be notified or suggested at a specific timing based on a predetermined period when the release operation reserve of the variable member is released, the main game side high probability variation gaming state The effect that it becomes possible to give a sense of security to the player by notifying or suggesting the main game side gaming state when there is a situation that can be grasped from outside or approaching the situation Play.

  Further, at least during a predetermined period (period during which the opening operation of the variable member is reserved) since the end of the special game, the auxiliary game side gaming state can be seen from the variation mode (variation time) of the auxiliary game side identification information and the stop identification information. Since (and consequently the main game side gaming state) is configured to be indistinguishable, there is an effect that it is possible to further secure a situation in which it is difficult to grasp from the outside that the main gaming side is a high probability variation gaming state internally.

  Next, a modified example of the best mode will be described. First, in the best mode, a special symbol variation number after the end of the special game is assigned as a specific period during which the opening of the electric chew is reserved. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific period mentioned below may be used.

(After the special game ends, the number of times the special symbol fluctuates after the first regular symbol wins)
Assume that after the special game ends, when the special symbol changes for the Nth time, the normal symbol hits and stops at the symbol. In this case, after the special game ends, “N + predetermined number” times (a period corresponding to this number of times corresponds to a “specific period”), and the release of the electric chew is released.

(The predetermined time has elapsed since the end of the special game)
It is not the number of changes in the special symbol, but the release reservation of the electric chew is released after a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has elapsed since the end of the special game.

(After the special game ends, a predetermined time has passed since the first regular symbol was won)
After the special game is over, the release reservation of the electric chew is released after a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has passed since the normal symbol was first won.

  Furthermore, the best mode is configured to prevent the opening of the electric chew before a specific period by retaining the opening of the electric chew when the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first normal symbol variation after the end of the special game may be configured not to end before the elapse of the specific period. In this case, as in the best mode, in order to prevent the gaming state from being realized until the special symbol changes a predetermined number of times, the special symbol changes until the predetermined number of times changes. It is preferable that the initial fluctuation of the normal symbol that starts to fluctuate after the special game is continued for a predetermined time (for example, within 30 seconds)} based on the time required for the game. By the way, in this case, when the special figure fluctuation time is configured to be different between the special figure normal game state and the special figure probability fluctuation game state, the first normal symbol fluctuation time after the end of the special game depends on the special figure game state. It is not preferable because it causes a situation where the total variation time of the predetermined number of times of the symbol becomes longer or shorter. Therefore, in this modified example, it is preferable to shift to the special figure limited frequency state for the predetermined number of times after the end of the special game, regardless of the special figure game state, as in the best mode. For example, in the present modification, the special figure limited frequency state is continued 10 times regardless of the winning symbol, and the general figure limited frequency state is referred to only once. For example, the variation time of the normal symbol in the normal symbol limited frequency state is set to the same time scale (150 seconds) as the total variation time of the special symbol (15 seconds × 10 times at the shortest). As a result, the variation of the special symbol for the predetermined number of times is completed at approximately the same timing as the variation of the first normal symbol after the end of the special game. This makes it possible to execute the same contents as the best mode.

The following modification will be described. In the best mode, during the specific game related to the normal symbol, only the open extension game in which the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is longer than that during the normal game is executed, and the time of the normal symbol in the conventional pachinko gaming machine is shortened. It is configured not to shift to a game or a normal symbol winning probability variation game. However, any one or any combination of open extended games, short-time games, and winning probability varying games may be used. Here, Table 12 shows an example of a table for determining whether or not the normal symbol is appropriate in the normal game state and the specific game state related to the normal symbol. As can be seen from this table, the game is a winning symbol for each game state of the normal symbol (in the normal game in which the general game specific game flag is off, in the normal game in which the general game specific game flag is on). The selection rate of “7” is configured to change. More specifically, the selection rate of the winning symbol “7” at the time of the normal game (also referred to as the normal game probability change game) is “7” at the time of the normal game (including the limited frequency game). It is configured higher than the selectivity. Table 13 shows an example of a table for determining the variation time of the normal symbol in the normal game state and the specific game state related to the normal symbol. As can be seen from this table, various reference tables are provided for each ordinary game state. Specifically, these tables are used in the game state such as the normal game state (the normal game specific game flag is turned off) and the special game state (the normal game specific game flag is turned on). It is usually referred to when determining the variation time of symbols. Here, the normal symbol variation time is set to be shorter in the normal game specific game state than in the normal game normal game state.
