Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, and in particular, the control means is divided into a game control means for controlling the progress of the game and an effect control means for controlling the execution of the effect, and according to the establishment of the start condition. The present invention relates to a gaming machine that executes a prefetching advance notice for a variable display based on a stored storage that is stored on hold .

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention provides:
Multiple types of identification information are variably displayed in response to the establishment of a predetermined start condition, and control is performed to a specific gaming state (first big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player when the derived display result becomes the specific display result A gaming machine (pachinko machine 1)
A game control means (CPU 56) for controlling the progress of the game and transmitting a command corresponding to the progress of the game;
Receiving a command transmitted from the game control means, is varied display the identification information, displays the execution of the effect of including varying display effect to derive a result, presentation control means for controlling on the basis of the command thus received (display CPU for display control of control board 80),
The game control means includes
When the start condition is satisfied, the data for fluctuations display based on the starting conditions the established predetermined number as a pending memory holding storage means for storing up to (a total of eight) (pending store buffer RAM 55) When,
Predetermined pre-read information (bonus information and change pattern information) necessary for pre-reading advance notice of the mode in the variable display executed based on the hold storage stored in the hold storage means when the start condition is satisfied. Including a pre-start command transmission means (CPU 56: transmission of a start winning command at the time of starting winning) that transmits a pre-start prefetching command (start winning prize command C103) including,
The production control means includes
First pre-reading for determining whether to pre-read a variation display mode corresponding to the pre-start pre-read command based on pre-read information included in the pre-start pre-read command when the pre-start pre-read command is received Notice determination means (display control CPU of the display control board 80: whether or not to make a variable display subject to the pre-reading notice effect is determined at the time of receiving the start winning command);
In accordance with the determination result of the first prefetch notice determination means, first prefetch notice execution means for executing the prefetch notice based on the prefetch information included in the pre-read prefetch command (display control CPU of display control board 80: prefetch notice) Execution)
When receiving the pre-start prefetch command transmitted from the pre-start command transmission means, the prefetch information indicated by the pre-start prefetch command is stored in a predetermined storage area, and each prefetch information corresponds at least. Prefetch information storage means (a jackpot information queue 80a) for storing until the variable display is started;
When a predetermined condition (start of the ending effect of the big hit round effect) is satisfied, the predetermined storage area is referred to by referring to the prefetch information stored in the predetermined storage area by the prefetch information storage means The second pre-reading advance notice deciding unit (determining whether or not to pre-read the change display mode corresponding to the pre-reading information stored in the display control CPU: display control board 80 display control CPU: A decision to pre-read in advance with reference to the jackpot information queue 80a),
In accordance with the determination result of the second prefetch notice determination means, second prefetch notice execution means (for display control of the display control board 80) for prefetching the aspect in the variable display corresponding to the prefetch information stored in the predetermined storage area. CPU: execution of prefetching notice).

In the gaming machine, the control means is divided into a game control means for controlling the progress of the game and an effect control means for controlling the execution of the effect, and is based on a command transmitted from the game control means according to the progress of the game. The execution of the effect is controlled by the effect control means. Here, in the game control means, when the start condition is satisfied, when the change display is immediately executed with respect to the start condition being satisfied (the change display based on the previously established start condition is not executed). Although data for fluctuations display except when) is memorize pending storage means as a hold memory, the start before prefetching commands including prefetch information at this time, it shall be sent to the presentation control means ing.

In the effect control means, when the pre-start prefetch command transmitted from the game control means is received due to the establishment of the start condition, whether or not to pre-read the change display mode corresponding to the pre-start prefetch command is determined before the start. The determination is made based on the prefetch information included in the prefetch command. Then, according to the determination result, a pre-reading notice for the variable display corresponding to the received pre-start pre-reading command is executed.

In addition, when it is not controlled to the specific gaming state, the number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage means can always be changed in relation to the establishment of the start condition and the execution of the variable display. Each time a command is received (that is, every time the start condition is satisfied), it is possible to immediately determine whether or not to perform the prefetch notice. However, the pre-read information indicated by the pre-start pre-read command received by the effect control means from the game control means is the pre-read information storage means in a first-in first-out manner regardless of the decision to execute the pre-read notice when the game state is not controlled. Will be remembered.

Note that when the game condition is not controlled, the start condition may be satisfied, but the variable display is not executed. In most cases, the number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage means until the upper limit is reached. Reach. And being controlled to such a specific gaming state is appropriate to be applied as the specific condition.

In the above gaming machine,
The game control means includes
Specific determination means (CPU 56) for determining whether or not to derive the specific display result in the variable display performed by the hold storage stored in the hold storage means before deriving the display result of the variable display by the hold storage. : Jackpot lottery, jackpot type lottery),
Depending on the determination result of at least the specific determination means, among a plurality of types of variation patterns (types of variation pattern) change patterns of execution is the identification information to change the display of the display results of the identification information is derived Further, a variation pattern selection means (CPU 56: determination of variation pattern type) to select from may be provided. In this case,
The pre-read information includes specific determination information (big jackpot information) that can specify whether or not to determine that the specific display result is derived by the specific determination unit, and a variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection unit. Variation selection information (variation pattern information) that can identify whether it is a specific variation pattern,
The second prefetch notice determining means, when controlled to the specific gaming state, based on one of the specific determination information and the variation selection information (jackpot information) included in the prefetch information, Decide whether to run a pre-read notice,
The first prefetch notice determination means is based on one of the specific determination information and the variation selection information (variation pattern information) included in the prefetch information when the specific gaming state is not controlled, It may be determined whether to execute the prefetch notice.

Here, when it is determined whether or not to execute the pre-reading notice based on the specific determination information, the specific display result may be derived in the hold storage stored in the hold storage means. Whether or not the determined hold memory is included is to be pre-notified in advance (in the pre-read notification, it is informed whether a large hit is included in the hold memory), and based on the variation selection information When it is determined that the prefetching notice is to be executed, it is determined whether or not the holding memory stored in the holding memory means includes a holding memory for selecting the specific variation pattern. (In the pre-reading notice effect, it is noticed whether super-reach is included in the hold memory).

In this case, when it is controlled to a specific gaming state, a whether contains pending memory of that for deriving the specific display results of the pending memory stored in the hold memory means it is determined specific change pattern There one of whether or not contain suspended storage to be selected is to be pre-read notice, when not controlled to a specific game state, identified among the pending memory stored in the hold memory means the other of whether contains pending memory a particular variation pattern and whether contains pending memory of that for deriving the display result is determined is chosen is to be read ahead notice.

here,
The game control means has a probability change state (probability change state) in which the probability that the specification determination means determines that the specific display result is derived after the specific game state is finished is higher than the normal game state. In the case of further comprising a probability variation state control means (CPU 56) for controlling the state,
The second prefetch notice determining means determines whether to execute the prefetch notice based on the specific determination information included in the prefetch information;
It is preferable that the first prefetch notice determination unit determines whether or not to execute the prefetch notice based on the change selection information included in the prefetch information.

The game control means includes probability variation determining means for determining whether or not to control the probability variation state when the specific determination means determines that the specific display result is derived , and the probability variation state The control means may control the probability variation state on condition that the probability variation determination means determines to control to the probability variation state (a normal jackpot or a short time jackpot is selected as the jackpot type). Including modifications). In this case,
The second prefetch notice determining unit executes the prefetch notice based on the specific determination information included in the prefetch information on the condition that the probability variation determining means determines to control the probability variation state. (In the case where the jackpot type includes a normal jackpot or a short-time jackpot, a modification example in which a pre-reading notice is determined when any probability fluctuation jackpot is reached).

Here, if will be controlled to the probability change state after completion of the specific game state, pending storing the specific gaming state is stored in the hold memory means until the end of the specific change pattern is performed it player becomes to expect a pending store to be determined that to derive a specific display results rather than it is that hold storage. By determining whether or not the second prefetch notice determination unit executes the prefetch notice based on the specific determination information, it becomes possible to execute the prefetch notice that can accurately respond to the player's expectation.

In the above gaming machine,
The pre-start command transmission means includes a pre-start reserved memory number command (start winning command A101 including the number of reserved memories stored in the hold storage means until the start condition is satisfied when the start condition is satisfied. The start winning command B102) and the pre-start prefetch command may be sequentially transmitted as separate commands. In this case,
The production control means includes
Reception interval determination means (a CPU for display control of the display control board 80) for determining whether or not the pre-start hold memory number command and the pre-start prefetch command are received within an interval within a predetermined time;
When the reception interval determination unit determines that the reception interval is not received within the predetermined time, the prefetch announcement determination unit executes the prefetch announcement based on the prefetch information included in the pre-read prefetch command. And a pre-reading notice prohibiting means for prohibiting the determination of the determination (if the start winning command C103 is not received within a predetermined time from the reception of the starting winning command A101 or the starting winning command B102, it corresponds. The change display to be performed is not subject to the pre-reading notice effect: FIG. 7).

Note that the pre-start hold memory number command and the pre-start pre-read command transmitted based on the establishment of the same start condition are transmitted first if the transmission order is always constant. It doesn't matter. That is, even if it is transmitted in the order of the pre-start hold memory number command and the pre-start pre-read command based on the establishment of the start condition, the pre-start pre-read command and the pre-start hold memory number command are transmitted in this order. It is good also as what is done.

Further, the game control means transmits a command one by one in a transmission process executed at predetermined time intervals or at the same time (in this case, the pre-start pending storage number command and the pre-start prefetch command are: As a rule, transmitted at predetermined time intervals or at substantially the same time)
In the case where the production control means determines reception of a command transmitted from the game control means in a reception determination process executed at a specific time equal to or greater than the predetermined time,
The reception interval determining means, reception determination processing in the same times and the start before prefetch command and the start before holding storage number of commands, or the condition that it has received in two consecutive reception determination process, the start before Pending It can be determined that the storage number command and the pre-start prefetch command are received at intervals within a predetermined time.

Here, the pre-start hold memory number command and the pre-start prefetch command are sequentially transmitted in response to the establishment of the same start condition, but all command transmission / reception between the game control means and the effect control means is correctly performed. If so, the pre-start reserved memory number command and the pre-start prefetch command for the establishment of the same start condition are continuously received by the effect control means with almost no time interval.

If an abnormality such as that described above has occurred in the transmission / reception of a command, for example, the pre-start look-ahead command for the satisfaction of the one start condition is received after receiving the pre-start hold memory number command for the satisfaction of the one start condition. Instead, a pre-start pre-read command for the establishment of another start condition may occur. Of course, when such an abnormality occurs, there is often a certain time interval between the reception of the pre-start reserved memory number command and the pre-start prefetch command, and in such a case, the prefetch notice is executed. It is possible to prevent an unintended prefetching notice from being executed for a variable display that should not be a target of the prefetching notice.

In the above gaming machine,
Wherein before starting the command transmission means, when the start condition is satisfied, the hold before the start pending memory number including the number of the stored pending memory (reserved memory number information) in the storage means to the satisfaction of the start condition The commands (start winning command A101, starting winning command B102) and the pre-start prefetch command may be sequentially transmitted as separate commands. In this case,
The production control means includes
Upon receiving the start pre-pending memory number command, the number of pending memory included in the start before pending memory number command is determined on the basis of the command received until before the start before holding storage command number It displays the number of pending memory a number increased by the occurrence of the start conditions of the pending memory number determination means for determining whether or not normal number is the number to a predetermined number range (display control board 80 Control CPU),
The pre-read-ahead read that is transmitted in response to the pre-start hold memory number command when the hold memory number determination means determines that the number of hold memories included in the pre-start hold memory number command is not a normal number Prefetching notice prohibition means for prohibiting the decision to execute the prefetching notice based on the prefetching information included in the command (reserved memory in which the display control CPU has grasped the received start prize command A101 or the start prize command B102) If it does not indicate that the number has increased by one, the corresponding variable display is not subject to the pre-reading notice effect: FIG. 7).

Or in the above gaming machine,
The pre-start command transmission means, when the start condition is satisfied , indicates the number of hold memories (hold memory number information) stored in the hold storage means until the start condition is satisfied, together with the prefetch information. A pre-start pre-read command may be included and transmitted (a modified example in which a start winning command including all of the stored storage information, jackpot information, and variation pattern information is transmitted). In this case,
The production control means includes
Upon receiving the start pre prefetch command, the number of pending memory included in the start before prefetching commands, the number of the the pending store determined on the basis of the command received until before the start before preread commands the A pending storage number determination means (a CPU for display control of the display control board 80) for determining whether the number is a normal number that is an increased number due to the establishment of the start condition and is a number up to the predetermined number range;
When the number of pending memory included in the start before prefetch command is determined not to be the number of good by the holding storage count determination unit, to the effect that performs a read-ahead warning based on the look-ahead information included in the start before preread commands Pre-reading notice prohibition means for prohibiting determination (if the received start winning command A101 or starting winning command B102 does not indicate that the number of held storages recognized by the display control CPU has increased by one, the corresponding fluctuation The display is not subject to the pre-reading notice effect: FIG. 7).

As long as all commands are correctly transmitted and received between the game control means and the effect control means, the effect control means should make an accurate look-ahead notice for the variable display that should be the target of the look-ahead notice. However, it is not guaranteed that all transmission / reception of commands between the game control means and the effect control means is performed correctly. In other words, although the game control means correctly transmits the command according to the progress of the game, the effect control means is missed, or the transmission of the game control means and the reception of the effect control means are correctly performed. In some cases, the command may be garbled during the process. This can also occur for a pre-read prefetch command (and a pre-start pending storage number command).

When an abnormality as described above in the transmission and reception of the start prior to prefetch command (and before starting the hold memory number command) has occurred, pending included prior to the start prefetching commands received (or before the start pending storage command number) in presentation control means If it is determined that the pre-reading notice is executed over the variable display up to the number of memories, an unintended pre-reading notice is executed for the variable display that should not be the target of the pre-reading notice. There is a risk of it.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine, when the effect control means receives the pre-read prefetch command (or the pre-start hold memory number command) transmitted from the game control means, the reserved memory included in these commands is stored . A number obtained by increasing the number of reserved memories determined based on the establishment of the start condition, based on the commands received before that (not limited to the pre-read prefetch command (and the pre-start reserved memory number command)) If it is determined that the number is a normal number that is a number up to a predetermined number of ranges that is the upper limit of the number of reserved storages that can be stored in the storage unit, It is prohibited to decide to execute the prefetch notice based on the prefetch information included in the command. As a result, it is possible to prevent an unintended prefetching notice from being executed for a variable display that should not be a target of the prefetching notice.

The reserved memory number determining means is a predetermined number in which the number of reserved memories included in the received pre-read-ahead command (or pre-start reserved memory number command) is the upper limit of the number of reserved memories that can be stored in the reserved memory means. For the establishment of a start condition that is within the range of the number, and that is one more than the number of reserved memories determined based on the command received before the pre-read prefetch command (or the pre-start reserved memory number command) Included in the pre-start look-ahead command (or the pre-start hold memory count command), which indicates that the number of hold memories stored in the hold storage means is increased by 1 (generally 1). It can be determined that the number of reserved memories is a normal number.

In the above gaming machine,
The second prefetch notice determining means includes prefetch information other than the prefetch information previously referred to determine whether to execute the prefetch notice among the prefetch information stored in the prefetch information storage means. Referring to the jackpot information queue 80a, a flag may be set for the jackpot information for which the prefetch notice has been determined. The ending effect of the jackpot round effect may be determined. In the event of a pre-fetch notice, refer to the jackpot information with no flag set).

In this case, the pre-reading notice is referred to by the second pre-reading notice execution means without referring to the pre-reading information already referred to in order to determine whether or not to execute the pre-reading notice among the prefetch information stored in the prefetch information storage means. It is assumed that it is determined whether or not to execute. For this reason, the determination of the pre-reading notice for the same variable display is not repeated, and there are, for example, a plurality of ones for deriving the specific display result in the hold storage based on the start condition established at the near time. or when reserved memory that has been stored in the hold memory means when the specific game state is completed of that is stored in the hold memory means at the time the following specific game state has ended, the variable display based on the same hold storage It is possible to prevent different prefetching notices from being executed. In addition, it is easy to adjust the appearance rate of the prefetch notice.

In the above gaming machine ,
The game control means includes
When the start condition is satisfied, the variation pattern determined for numerical data for selecting the change pattern of the line dividing the identification information until the variable display of the display results of the identification information is derived (fluctuation pattern determining random number) Numerical data extraction means (CPU 56) for extracting numerical data including
A determination result of the specific determination means, the fluctuation pattern extracted by the number of pending memory stored in the hold memory unit to another, the numerical data extracting means when the variable display of the identification information is started Based on the value of the numerical data for determination and the determination value corresponding to each of a plurality of types of variation patterns (the range of random numbers for selecting the loss variation pattern is the number of reserved memories at the start of variation display being 2 or less 3 4), and further includes variation pattern selection means (a display control CPU of the display control board 80) for selecting a variation pattern (variation pattern) of identification information in the variation display.
It said pending memory means, the numerical data extracted by the numerical data extracting means may be configured to store as the hold memory (pending store buffer RAM55 is stored various random number extracted at starting winning). In this case,
The judgment value corresponding to a specific change pattern, regardless of the number of the pending memory means the stored pending stored when the variable display of the identification information is started, a common determination value is set (Super The range of random numbers for selecting the variation pattern of reach is the same when the number of stored memories is 2 or less or 3 or more: FIG. 4),
The judgment value corresponding to a non-specific change pattern which is different from the specific change pattern is set the hold different determination value according to the number of the stored pending stored in the storage means when the variable display of the identification information is started (The range of random numbers for selecting the variation pattern of non-reach loss and normal reach loss varies depending on whether the number of reserved storage is 2 or less and 3 or more: FIG. 4).

In this case, the determination value corresponding to the non-specific variation pattern different from the specific variation pattern differs depending on the number of reserved memories stored in the reserved storage means when the variation display of the identification information is started. and has, but judgment value corresponding to a specific change pattern, form a common determination value regardless of the number of pending memory stored in the hold memory means to another when the variable display of the identification information is started Yes. Thus, while selecting a specific change pattern always at a constant rate, the fluctuation pattern (specific change pattern in accordance with the number of pending memory stored in the hold memory means to another when the variable display of the identification information is started It is also possible to change the ratio of selecting a predetermined variation pattern other than

Further, the variation pattern actually determined for each round of the variable display is selected according to the number of pending memory stored in the hold memory means to another when the variable display is started, the specific change pattern has a what number of pending memory stored in the hold memory means to another is selected even become many, just as when the variable display is started. Therefore, when the start condition is satisfied, even if no established number of pending memory stored in the hold memory means to another when the variable display corresponding to the enacted start condition starts, specific variation Only the pattern can be specified.

Such effects, the prefetch announcement execution unit, as to whether or not the specific pattern of variation within the hold memory which is stored in the hold memory means contains pending memory selected as to prefetch notice In some cases, it is remarkably played.
