Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration of a Pachinko game machine for enabling initial operation not giving incompatibility to a game player and a game parlor manager by focusing attention on the relationship between pattern variation and the initial movement of a movable gimmick in the Pachinko game machine capable of controlling the movement of the movable gimmick exhibiting a performance effect on the sub-board side.SOLUTION: In the Pachinko game machine, after the recovery from the power-off, the remaining time X of the variation is compared with an initial movement completion maximum time Y to determine whether the remaining time X is under, or less the initial movement completion maximum time Y. When the determination result is affirmative, time is added to the variation remaining time X to make the variation remaining time equal to or more than or exceed the time Y.

Description

  The present invention is a type that acquires a game content determination random number when a game ball enters a start opening, determines a game content based on the random number, and determines and executes the game content (results of success / failure, identification information display effect content, etc.). In particular, in a pachinko gaming machine that can control the operation of a movable body (so-called movable body accessory) that exhibits a production effect, the pachinko machine that can execute an initialization process for maintaining the operation of the movable body It relates to gaming machines.

  The most popular pachinko machines currently have a special symbol on the display section such as 7-segment, which is displayed in a variable manner when a game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). When the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), a special gaming state that is more profitable for the player than the normal gaming state {a special winning opening (attacker) that is normally closed is a predetermined condition Is a model (conventional “first-class gaming machine”) of the type that is called “digipachi”. Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of special symbols that are directly linked to the interests of the player, in addition to the aforementioned “special symbols”, it is referred to as “decorative symbols” for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game. The symbol to be displayed is variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. And when the change of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also starts to change accordingly, and when the special symbol stops in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol also changes to the predetermined mode (for example, “777”). Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game has been confirmed because the decorative symbol has stopped in a predetermined manner.

  Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design, and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, the movable body accessory effect is one of them, and the movable object effect effect is an effect video developed on a display device such as a liquid crystal display during the period from the start of symbol variation to the symbol stop. It is an effect mainly intended to enhance the effect of the production by moving the movable object in conjunction with the image. Here, since the motion control of the effect moving image is mainly performed on the sub board side, in order to link the effect moving image and the movable object accessory, the operation control of the movable object accessory is also performed on the sub substrate side. Is preferred. Also, in recent years, there is a tendency to diversify and complicated the operation content of the movable body for the purpose of further enhancing the interest of moving body effect production, so on the sub-board side with higher processing capacity than the main board. In many cases, a configuration for controlling the operation of the movable body accessory is used.

By the way, in order to control the operation of the movable body accessory, it is necessary to control a drive device (stepping motor or the like) for operating the movable body, but in order to control the drive device, a fixed position of the movable body is required. Information is needed. In addition, since the fixed position information of the movable body is lost when the gaming machine is disconnected from power, the so-called initialization is performed. Processing (initial operation) is required, but the initial operation is different from the production operation, and thus there is a possibility that the player or the game hall operator may feel uncomfortable when viewing the initial operation. Currently, in order to solve such a problem, in the gaming machine that controls the operation of the movable body accessory on the sub-board side, the movable is intended not to give a sense of incongruity or disadvantage to the player or the playground operator. A technique relating to the initial operation of the body accessory is disclosed.

  However, the conventional technique uniformly performs / does not execute the immediate initial operation at the time of power failure recovery, and does not suggest the relationship between the symbol variation at the time of power failure recovery and the initial motion of the movable object. That is, no attention has been paid to the problems that occur when the situation in which the symbols are changing and the situation in which the initial operation is being performed overlap immediately after the interruption. For example, since it is customary for the movable body effect to be executed between the start of symbol change and the stop of symbol, when the initial action is performed across multiple symbol changes, a plurality of symbols are produced. If the change is mistaken as one symbol change, there is a risk that the player or the game hall operator may have a particular sense of discomfort. In particular, when the symbol variation time immediately after the interruption of power interruption is extremely short, there is an increased risk of performing an initial operation across a plurality of symbol variations. In addition, when the time required for the initial operation is long (for example, when the operation content of the movable body is diversified and complicated and there is a lot of fixed position information to be acquired in the initial operation, the time required for the initial operation is inevitably increased. In the same manner, the risk of performing an initial operation across a plurality of symbol variations increases. Therefore, the present invention pays attention to the relationship between the pattern variation and the initial action of the movable object in the pachinko gaming machine that can control the movement of the movable object that exerts the effect on the sub-board side. It is an object of the present invention to provide a means for enabling an initial operation without giving a sense of incongruity to a game hall operator.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the specification will be described. First, “progress of game” is to control a series of operations of a gaming machine related to granting a privilege to a player (for example, a game related to paying out a game ball as a game medium). “Production” is synonymous with production in the industry at the time of filing, and is typically an image or moving image that enhances the fun of the game (for example, a variable display of a design for design called a decorative design, This refers to characters and images called so-called notices. “Displacement” refers to a change in position accompanying the movement of an object, but is not limited to the manner in which the object moves. For example, it may be a change in position due to rotation (rotation, revolution, and both), It may be a position change due to movement in the left / right front / rear direction or a shape change such as enlargement / reduction (because the position is changed when attention is paid to a part of the member). “Pitching” includes not only winnings in which prize balls are paid out, but also “through chuckers” in which no winning balls are paid out. 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. “Special game from closed state to open state” means that at least a part of a special game period (for example, a period during which the special game execution flag is on) may be open. This means that there are cases in which the variable prize opening is closed between the rounds, and depending on the opening / closing mode of the variable prize opening, the variable prize opening is closed even during the round. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and may include, for example, numbers, letters, symbols, etc. (for example, main game identification managed on the main game control unit side) Information, secondary game identification information managed by the secondary game control unit). “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, a so-called “ “Basic random numbers”, specifically, “Winning random numbers” related to the transition of special games, “Variation mode determination random numbers” for determining the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol, “Design symbols for determining the stop symbol” “Decided random number”, “hit symbol determined random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, and the like. 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). “Based on random number” includes not only the case where the variation content of the identification information and the stop identification information are determined directly from the random number, but also the case where the identification information is indirectly determined from matters determined directly from the random number ( For example, when determining a stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol). The “variation mode” includes not only a variation pattern but also a variation time. The “identification information variation start condition” indicates, for example, that the previous identification information variation is not being executed or is not in a special game. The “information relating to the main game random number” transmitted from the main game part to the sub game part is the information relating to the random number range including the main game random number itself or the random number range including the main game random number. Information (for example, ID information)} indicating that it is the n-th random number range, information derived from the main game random number {eg, result of lottery result, variation mode, stop symbol, stop symbol attribute information ( Any one of the following: “Based on information on random numbers” is determined not only when the contents of changes in identification information and stop identification information are determined directly from information on the random numbers, but also indirectly from matters determined directly from information on the random numbers. (For example, when a stop symbol is directly determined from information on a random number and the variation content is determined from the stop symbol). The “main game control unit” and the “sub game control unit” are synonymous with those well known in the art, and the former is also called “main board side” and the latter is also called “sub board side”. . The latter includes not only the case where there is only one sub-board, but also a mode in which the function of the sub-game unit is achieved with a plurality of boards, such as what is called sub-board + sub-sub-board. “Based on power failure recovery information” means not only when the identification information changes and shutdown identification information is determined directly from the power failure recovery information, but also directly determined from the power failure recovery information. (For example, when a stop symbol is directly determined from information on a random number, and variation contents are determined from the stop symbol). The “displacement from the initial position to the predetermined position” includes the displacement from the initial position to the initial position. “Information that can be used to derive the remaining time and stop identification information of the change” refers to any information that directly or indirectly represents the remaining time or stop identification information. The elapsed time may be used, and in that case, the remaining time can be derived by an arithmetic expression such as (scheduled variation time−elapsed time). “Information relating to the progress of the game” refers to all information necessary for controlling a series of operations of the gaming machine related to the provision of benefits, such as the current game state, the result of the change or the stop pattern, and the like. “Power interruption (power interruption)” means that the power supply voltage supplied to the gaming machine falls below a certain level regardless of whether the power switch provided on the gaming machine is operated or not. This also includes shutting off the power supply due to unforeseen circumstances such as equipment damage or power outages. The “variable member” is not only a member that moves a physical structure such as a so-called gimmick, but is an installation member of a display device such as a liquid crystal display, for example, for moving the installation position of the display device itself. The thing which moves an installation member is also contained. “Power failure recovery information” refers to, for example, all information for restoring the state immediately before power interruption when power supply is started again from the power interruption state.

  According to the present invention (1), it is determined whether or not the variable member is displaced based on the information relating to the main game random number transmitted from the main game control unit, and the variable member is displaced from the initial position to the predetermined position. A pachinko machine capable of executing at least control, and is configured to execute an initial operation for returning the variable member to an initial position when the initial operation of the variable member is permitted. The initial operation is variable In a pachinko machine that can be completed within the maximum time Y, no matter where the member is located, when the power is turned off while the main game identification information fluctuates, The remaining time X of the variation is compared with the maximum time Y to determine whether the remaining time X is less than or less than the maximum time Y. If the determination result is affirmative, the remaining variation Time X In addition to making the remaining time of the variation more than or equal to Y, or when determining the information regarding the remaining time of the variation and the stop identification information of the identification information for the secondary game related to the variation on the secondary game control unit side It is configured to transmit necessary information and information at the time of power-off recovery to at least the secondary game control unit side, so when the main game identification information is changing at the time of power-off, There is an effect that it is possible to avoid performing the initial operation of the variable member across the variation display of the identification information for a plurality of times over the variation and subsequent variations.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above effects, based on the information at the time of power-off recovery, the change mode and stop identification information of the sub-game identification information to be executed immediately after the power-off recovery is determined, and the main game control unit side It is configured to display the stop identification information deterministically after variably displaying the secondary game identification information based on the power loss recovery information in a form synchronized with the change and stop of the identification information. There is an effect that it is possible to more effectively avoid the initial operation of the variable member over the change display of the identification information over a plurality of times over the next change and the next change.

  According to the present invention (2), when a game ball enters the main game start port when the change permission of the main game identification information has not been lowered, the main game random number is temporarily stored until the change permission is lowered. In addition to being configured to be able to transmit the information related to the main game random number that is temporarily stored to the secondary game control unit side, a plurality of information based on the information related to the main game random number from the main game control unit side Since it is configured to be able to decide to execute the displacement of the variable member across the variation of the identification information for the secondary control, it is possible to further enhance the effect of avoiding the initial operation across the variation multiple times Yes (that is, when the displacement of the variable member is executed over a plurality of fluctuations, the player thinks that a random number with high winning reliability is obtained, but such a loss of expectation can be prevented).

Here, the “specific game” means, for example, a probability variation game in which a lottery probability for a special game is higher than that in a normal game or a time shortening game in which the variation time of the main game symbol is relatively shorter than that in a normal game. Point to.

  Here, in the best mode, during the time reduction, the variation time of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is relatively shortened (time reduction function) compared to the non-time reduction. Furthermore, the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol is also relatively shortened, and the opening extension time of the electric accessory 2112 of the second main game starting port 2110 is relatively extended (opening time extension function). In addition, the time reduction in this best mode is ended when the total value of the number of changes in the first main game symbol and the number of changes in the second main game symbol exceeds a predetermined number (excluding the probability change game with no time limit restriction). ). That is, the number of time reductions is subtracted for each change (stop) of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol. Here, as shown in Table 4, in this best mode, the specific game content is predetermined for each winning symbol, and when the special game related to each winning symbol ends, the specific game is referred to by referring to this table. The content is determined. The above-mentioned specific game end condition determining means 1181 has, for example, a function of performing a lottery transition from a specific game (for example, a probability-change game or a time-reduced game) to a normal game with a predetermined probability every time a symbol changes. It is good (in the case of a pachinko machine with a falling lottery function).

Each of the n buffers is configured to be able to store 2-byte information as reserved prefetch random number related information, and the random number related information is represented by each bit of the 2-byte information. Next, each bit in which the random number related information is expressed includes a reserved pre-read code (2 bits), a main game code (1 bit), a random type code (except for the start code and end code) in order from the most significant bit. 2 bits) and a random value code (9 bits). Here, the reason why the random number code is 9 bits is that the random number range of the main game random number is 0 to 511, but is not limited to this, and the number of bits is appropriately determined according to the random number range of the main game random number. The same applies to other bits. Finally, as an example of the random number related information, “the winning random number (random value 25), the symbol determining random number (random number 230), the fluctuation mode determining disorder (random number 82) related to the second hold of the first main game” As shown in the case of “”, the random number related information is stored over three buffers.

Next, in step 1325, the information transmission control means 1300 transmits information indicating that the second main game random number has been acquired. In step 1350 (2), the hold prefetch control unit 1134 executes a hold prefetch process described later, and proceeds to the next process (hold prefetch information transmission control process in step 1800). In the case of No in step 1302 and step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1314, and in the case of No in step 1314 and step 1316, the process proceeds to the next process (holding prefetch information transmission control process in step 1800).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the hold prefetching process for the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol, according to the subroutines of step 1350 (1) and step 1350 (2) in FIG. In this best mode, the processing contents of the hold prefetch process for the first main game symbol and the hold prefetch process for the second main game symbol are the same. Therefore, the process contents related to the first main game symbol will be described. The description relating to the main game symbol is in parentheses. In step 1352 (1) {step 1352 (2)}, the holding prefetch random number information set control means 1311 stores the first main game symbol (first main game) temporarily stored in step 1312 of FIG. 9 (step 1324 of FIG. 9). Reservation pre-reading information (random numbers such as success / failure random numbers in this best mode) related to the holding of the game symbol) is set in the random information temporary storage unit for holding pre-reading information 1311a in the information transmission control unit 1300 for the next processing The process proceeds to (pending prefetch information transmission control processing in step 1800). As will be described later, when set in the random number information temporary storage means 1311a for the hold prefetch information, it is immediately transmitted to the sub-control board side in the non-specific gaming state, but until the predetermined condition is satisfied in the specific gaming state. The transmission control is not executed during the specific game state (until the transition to the non-specific game state) (in this example, the second main game random number is transmitted immediately even in the specific game state) However, the second main game random number may also be configured not to be controlled for transmission in the specific game state).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch information transmission control process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. First, the purpose of this process is not to transmit the pre-read information based on the hold of the first main game symbol to the sub-side (effect display control means 2320 side) in the “time-reduced game state” and “time-reduced game” It is possible to transmit to the sub-side the pre-read information based on the pending that has not been digested at the end of the “state”. First, in step 1802, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 determines whether or not the time reduction flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a is on. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1806, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311a, and when the random number information is set, Among them, the random number information related to the second main game symbol (information regarding which random number is acquired, information regarding the winning random number, information regarding the random number for determining the symbol, information regarding the random number for determining the variation mode, etc.) is transmitted to the sub-side. . Next, in step 1807, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b refers to the reservation prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a, deletes the random number value related to the second main game symbol transmitted to the sub-side, and performs the next processing ( The process proceeds to the main game symbol display process in step 1400. The above is the hold prefetch information transmission control process in the time-saving game (in this example, especially in the normal symbol time-saving game).

  Next, Steps 1808 to 1811 are holding prefetch information transmission control processing immediately after the time-saving game is ended. First, in the case of No in step 1802, in step 1808, the hold prefetch information transmission control unit 1310 determines whether or not the short time end flag in the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 is on. Here, the short-time end flag is a flag that is turned on immediately after the end of the time-reducing game, and ensures that the processing of steps 1809 to 1811 described later is executed only once immediately after the end of the time-reduced game. Flag. In the case of Yes in step 1808, in step 1809, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311, and all the holds set in the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311. Pre-reading information (that is, random number information that is cumulatively set in the temporary pre-reading random number information storage means 1311 at the end of the “time saving gaming state”) is transmitted to the sub-side. Next, in step 1810, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b refers to the reservation prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a and deletes all the random number information transmitted to the sub side. Then, in step 1811, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 turns off the time-saving end flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400).

  Next, Steps 1813 to 1814 are pending look-ahead information transmission control processing in a non-short-time game (for example, a normal game with non-probability variation, a probability variation game without time-short game). First, in the case of No in step 1808, in step 1813, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1134a, and sets the random number information related to the set main game random number to the sub side. Send. In step 1814, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b refers to the reservation prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a, and deletes the random number information related to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol transmitted to the sub side. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process of step 1400).

  Here, as shown in the series of processes related to Step 1800, when the hold prefetch information related to the second main game symbol is updated, the hold prefetch information is used regardless of whether or not it is in the time-reduced gaming state. Is sent to the immediate sub-side. On the other hand, when the hold prefetch information related to the first main game symbol is updated, the hold prefetch information is immediately transmitted to the sub side only when not in the time-saving gaming state. As will be described later, the performance based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol (that is, prior suggestion of jackpot possibility) is performed only on the sub side. . Therefore, in the time-reduced game state, an effect based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol does not occur. In addition, the hold prefetch information related to the hold that has not been digested at the end of the time-reduced gaming state is configured to be transmitted to the immediate sub-side at the end of the time-reduced gaming state. Therefore, the effect based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol that could not occur in the time-reduced gaming state is immediately executed when the time-reduced gaming state ends. In other words, even if there is a ball entering the first main game start opening during the time-saving game, the time-saving gaming state is ended by temporarily storing the hold pre-reading information based on the ball. Sometimes it is possible to perform the effect by tracing back the temporarily stored reservation prefetch information. In addition, when the jackpot probability is high, or when the transition frequency to the time shortening game state is high (for example, super sweet digital type), the suspension related to the first main game symbol becomes undigested at the end of the time shortening game state, This is more suitable in the case where the frequency of making a big hit by holding increases.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the main game symbol hold release control means 1154 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and confirms whether there is no hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a second main game symbol display process described later and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Transition. Thus, in this best mode, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the holding of the first main game symbol) Even if this is the case), the second main game symbol will be prioritized and executed.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. First, in step 1402, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the condition for starting the change is that the special game or the design is not changing.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1404, in step 1406, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) serves as the first main game probability variation game state lottery table 1141a-2 (first table). 2 main game probability variation game state lottery table 1142a-2) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414. The table to be set is determined based on the success / failure number (the same applies hereinafter).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1404, in step 1408, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) sets the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Referring to it, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first main game time shortened game state lottery table 1141a-3 (first The two main game time reduction gaming state lottery table 1142a-3) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408, in step 1412, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) uses the first main game normal game state lottery table 1141a-1 ( The second main game normal gaming state lottery table 1142a-1) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Next, in step 1414, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is a first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. ) Is temporarily stored, and the game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation is read out. Next, in step 1415, the set random number information deleting unit 1311b deletes the hold prefetch information (random number value) relating to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a. Here, in the time-reduced game state, the transmission and update (deletion) processing of the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol to the sub side is not executed (see FIG. 11). Therefore, the hold prefetch information related to the change is updated at the timing when the hold related to the first main game symbol is exhausted in the time-saving game state. Next, in Step 1403, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 sets the first main game big hit lottery table 1135b-1 (second) which is the winning / losing lottery table corresponding to each gaming state set in Step 1406, Step 1410 or Step 1412. With reference to the main game jackpot lottery table 1135b-3), the main game symbol winning lottery is executed based on the game content determination random number (winning random number). In step 1417, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1417, in step 1418, the special game transition determining unit 1135a turns on the “win flag” in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). On the other hand, if No at step 1417, step 1416 is skipped.

  Then, in step 1416, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) sets the change contents (stop symbols, etc.) corresponding to each game state set in step 1406, step 1410 or step 1412. Fluctuation mode) Refers to the first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content determination lottery table 1142a), which is a lottery table, and based on the game content determination random number (for example, main game symbol determination random number) In addition to determining a stop symbol for the symbol, a variation mode of the main game symbol is determined based on a game content determination random number (for example, a variation mode determination random number), and these are changed to the first main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second main game). The symbol information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored.

  Next, in step 1419-1, the information transmission means 1300 produces an effect display of the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the main game symbol determined in step 1416 and the current game state. It transmits to the control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1419-2, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol variation start command to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1420, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time (the variation time according to the variation mode determined in step 1416) to the first. It is set in the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1422, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) is the first main game symbol of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). On the display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231), in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b), Start the variable display. Next, in step 1446, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). To do. In step 1434, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1437, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol variation end command to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1438, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) makes the first main game of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). The variable display of the main game symbol on the symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231) is stopped, and the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b) is stopped. The stored stop symbol is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1440, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). To. In step 1442, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) first timer game variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management). Timer 1152a-1) is reset. Next, at 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 at step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1444, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152), 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 1444, the process proceeds to step 1434, and if no, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of specific game end determination according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count 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 time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control unit 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the time reduction flag in the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. Next, in step 1462, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the short time end flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). In addition, also when it is No by step 1452 and step 1456, it transfers to the following process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 15 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 first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination means 1171 causes the first main game symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol) of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). It is determined whether or not the main game symbol displayed on the display unit 2231) is stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1505, the special game content determination means 1172 refers to the special game content reference table 1172a (see the previous table) on the basis of the predetermined mode, thereby determining the content of the special game. set. Next, in steps 1552 and 1554, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily turns off the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. At the same time, the time reduction counter 1181a is reset (time reduction counter value = 0). In step 1506 and step 1508, the condition determination unit 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit). The winning flag in 1192a) is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). It should be noted that, even in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 16 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 1200 transmits a special game start signal to the effect display 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 1700).

  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 1624 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 executing means 1173 drives the first electric combination 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 or the second electric combination 2222 of the second big prize opening 2220 to drive the first big prize opening 2120. Alternatively, the second big prize opening 2220 is opened, and the process proceeds to Step 1624.

  Next, in step 1624, the information transmission means 1300 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 1626, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won 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 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the first electric combination 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 or the second electric combination 2222 of the second big prize opening 2220, and the first big The winning opening 2120 or the second major winning opening 2220 is closed. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game 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 unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and the round is a final round (for example, 15 rounds when the probability variation jackpot and the time shortening variation jackpot are abrupt, suddenly It is determined whether or not it is 2 rounds in the case of a probability variation jackpot. 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. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 1650, the game control unit 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 1700). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game is a probability variation big hit. In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the probability variation flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1191. Next, in step 1656, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game has a time reduction variation. In the case of Yes in step 1656, in step 1658, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game has a limited number of time reductions. In the case of Yes in step 1658, in step 1660, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined number of times (30 times in this best mode) in the time-count counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1664. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1658, in step 1662, the specific game control unit 1180 sets the maximum number of times (for example, 65535 times) that can be specified as the counter value in the time-count counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1664. Next, in step 1664, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700). If No in step 1652, the process proceeds to step 1656. If No in step 1656, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, processing executed by main controller 1000 when an NMI signal is received will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 5 (right). When the NMI signal is received, in step 1800, the power-off / power-on processing control means 1600 executes a power-off process described later. When an NMI signal is received, the other process is interrupted and the process is preferentially executed even if the other process is being executed. In the following, processing related to each subroutine in the flowchart of FIG. 5 (right) will be described in detail. Here, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the power-off processing according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. First, on the main controller 1000 side that has received the NMI signal, in step 1802, the processing control means 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on is stored in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a).

In the case of No in Step 6302, the process proceeds to Step 6310, and in the case of No in Step 6304 and Step 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (movable body initial action execution possibility determination process 5000).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, the figure is an operation diagram related to the initial operation execution timing of the movable body accessory after the interruption of power interruption when the interruption of electric power occurs during the change of the main game symbol. Here, in this best mode, since the operation differs depending on the fluctuation time of the main game symbol after the return from power interruption, the left part of the figure (box 1 to 3 in the figure) and the right part of the figure (4 to 7 in the figure). The explanation will be divided into boxes. In this example, it is assumed that the estimated execution time of the initial operation of the movable body accessory = “12 seconds”.

  First, FIG. 30 (left) will be described. First, the variation mode “A3” of the main game symbol is selected, and during the symbol variation according to the variation time “30 seconds” based on the variation mode, the power interruption is restored after a power interruption occurs 5 seconds after the symbol variation start. is doing. Here, since the main side returns to the state before the occurrence of the power interruption by the backup process at the time of the power interruption recovery, the symbol fluctuation is started again from the state where the remaining fluctuation time is “25 seconds”. Next, along with the remaining fluctuation time “25 seconds”, a command for executing the initial operation of the movable object is transmitted from the main side to the sub side. Next, based on the information transmitted from the main side, the sub-side turns on the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag and determines whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed. Here, in order to determine whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed, the received remaining fluctuation time “25 seconds” is compared with the estimated execution time “12 seconds” of the initial operation. Next, since the remaining fluctuation time is equal to or longer than the estimated execution time of the initial operation, the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag is turned off and the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on (1 in the figure). Box). Next, when the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on, the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned off, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned on, The initial operation of the movable body accessory is executed (box 2 in the figure). Then, when the initial operation of the movable body accessory is completed, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned off, and the movable body accessory initial operation execution completed flag is turned on (in FIG. 3). (Box). That is, since the initial operation of the movable object is completed within the period up to the stop of the fluctuation of the main game symbol after the return of power interruption, it can be ensured that the initial operation is not performed over a plurality of variations of the main game symbol. Become.

  Next, FIG. 30 (right) will be described. First, the variation mode “A3” of the main game symbol is selected, and during the symbol variation according to the variation time “30 seconds” based on the variation mode, the power interruption is restored after an interruption occurs 25 seconds after the symbol variation start. is doing. Next, a command for executing the initial operation of the movable object is transmitted from the main side to the sub side together with the remaining fluctuation time “5 seconds”. Next, based on the information transmitted from the main side, the sub-side turns on the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag and determines whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed. Here, in order to determine whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed, the received remaining fluctuation time “5 seconds” is compared with the estimated execution time “12 seconds” of the initial operation. Next, since the remaining fluctuation time is less than the estimated initial operation execution time, the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag is kept on, and the movable object initial operation execution permission flag is kept off (see FIG. Middle 4 box). That is, at this timing, the initial operation of the movable body accessory is not executed. Next, after the change is completed, the variation mode “A1” of the main game symbol is selected, the symbol variation according to the variation time “10 seconds” based on the variation mode is started, and the symbol is changed from the main side to the sub side. A change start command and a change time “10 seconds” are transmitted. Next, since the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag is kept on on the sub side, it is determined whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed based on the information transmitted from the main side. To do. Here, in order to determine whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed, the received fluctuation time “10 seconds” is compared with the estimated execution time “12 seconds” of the initial operation. Next, since the remaining fluctuation time is less than the execution time of the initial operation, the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag is kept on, and the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is kept off (in the figure). Box 4). That is, even at this timing, the initial operation of the movable body accessory is not executed. Next, after the end of the change, the variation mode “A3” of the main game symbol is selected, the symbol variation according to the variation time “30 seconds” based on the variation mode is started, and the symbol is changed from the main side to the sub side. A change start command and a change time “30 seconds” are transmitted. Next, since the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag is kept on on the sub side, it is determined whether or not the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be executed based on the information transmitted from the main side. To do. Here, in order to determine whether or not the initial action of the movable body accessory can be executed, the received fluctuation time “30 seconds” is compared with the estimated execution time “12 seconds” of the initial action. Next, since the remaining fluctuation time is equal to or longer than the estimated execution time of the initial operation, the movable body accessory initial operation execution determination flag is turned off and the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on (5 in the figure). Box). Next, when the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on, the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned off, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned on, The initial operation of the movable body accessory is executed (box 6 in the figure). Then, upon completion of the initial operation of the movable body accessory, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned off, and the movable body accessory initial operation execution completed flag is turned on (in FIG. 7). (Box). That is, even in this case, since the initial operation of the movable object is completed within the period until the fluctuation of the main game symbol after the interruption is restored, the initial operation is not performed over a plurality of variations of the main game symbol. This can be secured. In this case, if the initial operation of the immediately movable body accessory is executed after the interruption of power interruption, the initial operation is executed over two variations of the main game symbol.

  Next, based on the case of FIG. 30 (right), the rendering operation timing of the movable body accessory will be described. First, during the next symbol variation after power-off (that is, during symbol variation based on the variation mode “A1”), a ball enters the new main game start opening, and the movable body role is based on the ball. Trigger suspension related to the performance operation of the object has occurred. At this time, on the sub-side, the trigger hold presence flag is turned on, the effect operation content of the movable body accessory is determined and the movable body effect content determination flag is turned on (box 8 in the figure). Next, it is determined whether or not the initial operation that is the premise for performing the rendering operation of the movable object is completed, but at this timing, the initial operation of the movable object is not completed (ie, Since the movable body accessory initial operation execution completion flag is off), the movable body accessory production execution determination flag is kept off, thereby making it impossible to execute the movable body accessory production operation. After that, during the next symbol variation of the variation, a new ball enters the main game start port, and a trigger hold related to the rendering operation of the movable object occurs based on the ball. At this time, on the sub-side, the trigger hold presence flag is turned on, the effect operation content of the movable body accessory is determined, and the movable body effect production content determination flag is turned on (box 9 in the figure). Next, it is determined whether or not the initial operation, which is a precondition for performing the moving action of the movable object, is completed, and at this timing, the initial operation of the movable object is completed. Therefore, the movable body effect production execution determination flag is turned on (box 9 in the figure). After that, under the situation where the movable body effect production execution determination flag is ON, the production operation of the movable body accessory is executed in response to the start of a new symbol variation (see box 10 in the figure). ).

  According to the best mode, after the power-off recovery, when the auxiliary game control unit receives the power-off recovery time information from the main game control unit side, it is planned to return the remaining time X of the fluctuation and the variable member to the initial position. Compared with time Y, it is determined whether the remaining time X is equal to or greater than the scheduled time Y, and when the determination result is affirmative, the execution of the initial operation of the variable member is permitted. When the main game identification information is changing at the time of power-off, the initial operation of the variable member across the change display of the identification information multiple times over the fluctuation after the power-off recovery and the fluctuation after the next time There is an effect that it is possible to avoid execution.

  Further, in addition to the above effects, until the initial operation of the variable member is executed, the decision to displace the variable member is prohibited regardless of the content of the main game random number information transmitted from the main game control unit. Therefore, when the variable member is displaced based on the information on the game random number, it is possible to ensure that the initial operation is completed.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above-described effect, if the power-off recovery time information is not received from the main game control unit after the power-off recovery, the sub-game identification information executed on the sub-game control unit side thereafter The variation time Z is compared with the scheduled time Y to determine whether the variation time Z is greater than or equal to the scheduled time Y, and when the determination result is affirmative, the initial operation of the variable member is executed. Even if the main game identification information is not changing at the time of power-off, it can be used for multiple times of main game over the fluctuation after power-off recovery and the fluctuation after the next time. There is an effect that it is possible to avoid the initial operation of the variable member over the variation display of the identification information.

  Next, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. In the present best mode, whether or not to execute the initial operation of the movable body accessory control device 4000 (and the movable body accessory device 400) depends on the time required for the initial operation that is grasped on the sub side and on the sub side. Judgment is made by comparing with the grasped variation time. In other words, the processing related to whether or not the initial operation can be executed is configured to be executed on the sub-side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the processing related to whether or not the initial operation can be executed may be executed substantially on the main side. Hereinafter, changes from the best mode will be described.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the initial process at the time of power interruption recovery according to the subroutine of Step 1050 (Modification 1) in FIG. 5 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example of the best mode. First, in Step 1052 (Variation 1), the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on refers to the information storage unit 1610 at the time of power interruption and determines whether or not the main-side power interruption flag is on. To do. If Yes in Step 1052 (Variable 1), in Step 1054 (Variable 1), the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on turns off the main-side power interruption flag in the information storage device 1610 during power interruption. To. Next, in Step 1058 (Variation 1), the information transmitting unit 1300 transmits a movable body accessory initial operation execution command to the sub-side (effect display control unit 2320 side). As will be described later, unlike the case of this best mode, the initial operation processing of the movable body accessory is executed immediately on the sub-side receiving this command. Next, in step 1060 (change 1), the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-up has the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) turned on. (That is, whether or not the power is cut off while the main game symbol is changing). In the case of Yes in Step 1060 (Modification 1), in Step 1062 (Modification 1), the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on is the main game symbol temporarily stored in the information storage device 1610 during power interruption. Get the remaining variation time value of. In step 1063 (change 1), the power interruption / power-on processing control means 1600 turns on the symbol fluctuation start command transmission reservation flag in the power interruption information temporary storage means 1610. Next, at step 1070 (variant 1), the processing control means 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on starts the time value (initial operation) required for executing the initial operation of the movable object whose remaining variation time value is predetermined. It is determined whether it is less than the assumed maximum time. In the case of Yes in Step 1070 (Variation 1), in Step 1072 (Variation 1), the processing control means 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on processing takes the time required for executing the initial operation of the movable body accessory to the remaining fluctuation time value. A value that satisfies the value is added and temporarily stored as a variation mode (or variation time) in the main game symbol information in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Next, in Step 1074 (Variation 1), the information transmission unit 1300 refers to the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 to acquire information on the gaming state information, the main gaming symbol information, and the hold prefetch information, and the acquired information. Is transmitted to the sub-side (effect display control means 2320 side), and the process proceeds to Step 1080 (Modification 1). On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 1060 (Modification 1), the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on turns on the variable time extension flag in the information storage device 1610 at the time of power interruption, and Step 1080 (Modification). Move to 1). Here, triggered by the fact that the variable time extension flag is turned on, a variable time extension process described later is executed. The process in the case of No in Step 1060 (Variation 1) is a process in a situation where there is no hold when the power is turned off, or a situation where there is a hold when the power is turned off but the symbol variation has not yet started. It is processing in. Next, at Step 1080 (Variation 1), the processing control unit 1600 at power failure / power-up refers to the information storage device 1610 at power failure, and whether the symbol variation start command transmission reservation flag is on. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in Step 1080 (Modification 1), in Step 1082 (Modification 1), the information transmission means 1300 transmits a symbol variation start command to the sub side (effect display control means 2320 side). Next, at step 1084 (change 1), the power failure / power-on processing control means 1600 turns off the symbol variation start command transmission reservation flag in the power interruption time information temporary storage means 1610, and performs the next processing ( The process proceeds to the auxiliary game symbol winning random number acquisition process 1100). In the case of No in Step 1052 (Modified 1) and 1080 (Modified 1), the process proceeds to the next process (auxiliary game symbol winning random number acquisition process 1100), and in the case of No in Step 1070 (Modified 1). Shifts to Step 1074 (Variation 1).

  Next, FIG. 32 shows the first main game symbol display process related to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} (variant 1) in FIG. 11 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example of the best mode. It is a flowchart of (2nd main game symbol display process). The changes from this best mode are step 1445-1 to step 1445-4. The purpose of the change is the first time after the interruption is restored when the main game symbol does not fluctuate. In the symbol variation, there is to select a variation mode of the main game symbol that satisfies the time value required for the initial operation of the movable body accessory device. That is, in step 1445-1, the power failure / power start-up processing control means 1600 refers to the power interruption information temporary storage means 1610, and determines whether or not the variable time extension flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1445-1, in step 1445-2, the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on turns off the variable time extension flag in the information storage unit 1610 during power interruption. Next, the processing control unit 1600 at the time of power interruption / power-on acquires a variation time value based on the variation mode of the main game symbol in the variation temporarily stored in the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and the variation It is determined whether or not the time value is less than a predetermined time value (initial operation estimated maximum time) required for executing the initial operation of the movable object. In the case of Yes in step 1445-3 (variant 1), in step 1445-4 (variant 1), the processing control means 1600 at the time of power interruption / power on is temporarily stored in the gaming state temporary storage means 1190. The main game in the game state temporary storage unit 1190 is obtained by acquiring a variable time value based on the game symbol variation mode and adding a value satisfying the time value required for executing the initial action of the movable object to the variable time value. Temporarily memorize | stores as a fluctuation | variation aspect in symbol information, and it transfers to step 1419-1 (change 1). In addition, also in the case of No in Step 1445-1 (Modification 1) and Step 14445-3 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 1419-1 (Modification 1).

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the movable body accessory initial operation execution feasibility determination process according to the subroutine of step 5000 (variant 1) in FIG. 19 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example of the best mode. The change from this best mode is that the processing after step 5006 is not executed, and the purpose thereof is immediately when the movable body accessory initial operation execution command is received from the main side. The initial operation is to be executed.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the modified example of the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. First, the figure is an operation diagram related to the initial operation execution timing of the movable body accessory after the interruption of power interruption when the interruption of electric power occurs during the change of the main game symbol. Here, in this modified example, since the operation differs depending on the fluctuation time of the main game symbol after the return from power interruption, the left part of the figure (box 1 to 3 in the figure) and the right part of the figure (4 to 6 in the figure). The explanation will be divided into boxes. In this modified example, since the execution time of the initial operation of the movable body accessory can be estimated in advance as described above, in this example, the execution time of the initial operation is “ 12 seconds ".

  Next, FIG. 34 (left) will be described. First, the variation mode “A3” of the main game symbol is selected, and during the symbol variation according to the variation time “30 seconds” based on the variation mode, the power interruption is restored after a power interruption occurs 5 seconds after the symbol variation start. is doing. Here, since the main side returns to the state before the occurrence of the power interruption by the backup process at the time of the power interruption recovery, the symbol fluctuation is started again from the state where the remaining fluctuation time is “25 seconds”. Next, a command for executing the initial operation of the movable object is transmitted from the main side to the sub side. Next, based on the command transmitted from the main side, the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on (box 1 in the figure). Next, when the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on, the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned off, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned on, The initial operation of the movable body accessory is executed for “12 seconds” (box 2 in the figure). Then, when the initial operation of the movable body accessory is completed, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned off, and the movable body accessory initial operation execution completed flag is turned on (in FIG. 3). (Box). That is, since the initial operation of the movable object is completed within the period up to the stop of the fluctuation of the main game symbol after the return of power interruption, it can be ensured that the initial operation is not performed over a plurality of variations of the main game symbol. Become.

  Next, FIG. 30 (right) will be described. First, the variation mode “A3” of the main game symbol is selected, and during the symbol variation according to the variation time “30 seconds” based on the variation mode, the power interruption is restored after an interruption occurs 25 seconds after the symbol variation start. is doing. Next, a command to execute the initial operation of the movable body accessory is transmitted from the main side to the sub side, and in order to satisfy the time required for the initial operation of the movable body accessory on the main side, “7 seconds” is added to the remaining time “5 seconds”, and the fluctuation is continuously executed. Next, based on the command transmitted from the main side, the sub-side turns on the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag (box 4 in the figure). Next, when the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned on, the movable body accessory initial operation execution permission flag is turned off, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned on, The initial operation of the movable body accessory is executed for “12 seconds” (box 5 in the figure). Then, upon completion of the initial operation of the movable body accessory, the movable body accessory initial operation execution flag is turned off, and the movable body accessory initial operation execution completed flag is turned on (in FIG. 6). (Box). That is, even in this case, since the initial operation of the movable object is completed within the period until the fluctuation of the main game symbol after the interruption is restored, the initial operation is not performed over a plurality of variations of the main game symbol. This can be secured.

In Step 1072 (Modification 1) or Step 1445-4 in the present modification, the main game symbol variation mode (variation time) is reset. In addition, the variation mode of the main game symbol transmitted from the main side is set in the variation mode determination reference table in the drawing variation content determination lottery (reference) table 2322a-1 by the reset process of the variation mode. It is conceivable that the value is other than the variation mode of the main game symbol. In such a case, by changing the contents of the variation mode determination reference table as shown in Table 11, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the processing on the sub-side does not operate normally. In the case of the configuration as shown in this table, the change of the decorative symbol may be stopped on the sub side before the symbol change end command is received from the main side. It may be configured to continuously display the mode in which the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped (so-called shaking variation) from when the symbol is stopped until the symbol variation end command is received. Moreover, in the reset process of the variation | change aspect (variation time) of a main game symbol, you may comprise so that it may reset based on the variation | change aspect (variation time) of a decoration symbol. That is, the variation mode (variation time) in which “remaining variation time” + “any of the decoration pattern variation modes (variation time)”> “initial operation assumed maximum time” is satisfied is 1072 (variation 1) or step 1445−. 4. In this case, the sub-side that has received the information is transmitted by transmitting the variation pattern (variation time) of the decoration symbol selected and determined to the sub-side. Then, there exists an advantage that the fluctuation | variation aspect (fluctuation time) of a decoration design can be determined uniquely.

  Further, in the reset process of the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol, as another method for avoiding the situation where the sub-side processing does not operate normally, the variation of the main game symbol transmitted from the main side There may be mentioned a method in which the mode and the variation mode of the main game symbol set in the variation mode determination reference table in the drawing variation content determination lottery (reference) table 2322a-1 are set to the same value. . In that case, after the reset process of the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol, the variation mode satisfying the reset variation mode (variation time) is determined as the first (second) main game content determination. What is necessary is just to comprise so that it may select and update from the variation modes set to the lottery table (variation mode) {For example, after a reset process, the variation mode (variation time) of a main game symbol is "18. If it is “second”, it is updated with the variation mode “A2 (B2) = 20 seconds”}.

  According to this modification, it is determined whether or not to displace the variable member based on the information related to the main game random number transmitted from the main game control unit, and control to displace the variable member from the initial position to the predetermined position is performed. At least a pachinko game machine that can be executed, and is configured to execute an initial operation for returning the variable member to an initial position when execution of the initial operation of the variable member is permitted. In pachinko machines that can be completed within the maximum time Y, no matter what position they exist, when the main game identification information fluctuates, when the power is turned off, The remaining time X of the fluctuation is compared with the maximum time Y to determine whether the remaining time X is less than or less than the maximum time Y. If the determination result is affirmative, the remaining time X of the fluctuation Time When the remaining time of the variation is set to be greater than or equal to Y or more, and information regarding the remaining time of the variation and the stop identification information of the identification information for the secondary game related to the variation are determined on the secondary game control side Information is transmitted to at least the secondary game control unit as power-off recovery information, so if the main game identification information is changing at power-off, the change after power-off recovery In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid performing the initial operation of the variable member across the variation display of the identification information multiple times over the next and subsequent variations.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above effects, based on the information at the time of power-off recovery, the change mode and stop identification information of the sub-game identification information to be executed immediately after the power-off recovery is determined, and the main game control unit side It is configured to display the stop identification information deterministically after variably displaying the secondary game identification information based on the power loss recovery information in a form synchronized with the change and stop of the identification information. There is an effect that it is possible to more effectively avoid the initial operation of the variable member over the change display of the identification information over a plurality of times over the next change and the next change.
