Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine provided with a movable accessory.

  Conventionally, when a game ball launched into the game area of the game board wins a specific starting port (first starting port or second starting port), a random number is acquired at the timing of starting winning by control of the main control board, A pachinko gaming machine is widely used in which, when the random number matches a predetermined jackpot random number, the special symbol is stopped at the symbol indicating the jackpot and the game is shifted to the jackpot gaming state.

  Such a pachinko gaming machine is provided with an effect control board that performs an effect upon receiving the result of the determination of the jackpot random number by the main control board. The effect control board controls the image display unit provided in the center of the game board, and moves, for example, three rows of decorative symbols (numbers, letters, symbols, etc.) from the top to the bottom in accordance with the variation display of the special symbols. The display is changed as follows. Then, in the case of a big hit, the image display unit is controlled so that the same or related decorative symbols are aligned on a certain line (effective line).

  When such a pachinko gaming machine is won, a decorative symbol indicating a win is displayed on the image display unit in a pseudo-temporary stop display and then variably displayed again to temporarily stop the decorative symbol indicating a hit type. Some perform a re-lottery effect to display and stop display.

  In addition, for such pachinko machines, the effect is improved by performing the effect of driving the movable accessory provided on the game board from the predetermined reference position to the advanced position while displaying the variation of the symbol. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1 below.)

JP 2008-295698 A

  However, in the above-described conventional technology, when the movable accessory is advanced to the advance position in the variation in which the re-lottery effect is performed, and the movable accessory is returned to the reference position during the temporary stop display of the decorative symbol in the re-lottery effect, There has been a problem that the player has a premonition that the redrawing effect will continue.

  For example, if the movable accessory is moved while temporarily displaying a decorative symbol indicating the type of winning that is shifted to a gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, a high-probability gaming state that is easy to win a jackpot) This gives anxiety to changing to a decorative symbol indicating a type of winning that shifts to a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player (for example, a low-probability gaming state in which it is difficult to win a jackpot). In addition, when a movable accessory is moved while a decorative symbol indicating a hit of a type that shifts to a gaming state disadvantageous to the player is displayed temporarily, a hit of a type that shifts to a gaming state advantageous to the player is displayed. It gives an excessive sense of expectation to change to a decorative design showing.

  The present invention eliminates the above-described problems caused by the prior art, and the movable position moved to the advance position in the variation in which the re-lottery effect is performed, without causing the player to foresee the continuation of the re-lottery effect. It is an object to provide a pachinko gaming machine that can be moved up to.

(Basic operation of pachinko machines)
Next, an example of the basic operation of the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 100, when a game ball wins the first start port 105 or the second start port 106, performs a jackpot lottery according to the start port that the game ball has won. When the game ball wins the first start opening 105 and wins the jackpot lottery, the pachinko gaming machine 100 variably displays the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 113a. Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the variable display, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol indicating the lottery lottery result.

  When the game ball wins the second starting port 106 and wins a big hit, the pachinko gaming machine 100 displays the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 113b in a variable manner. Then, after the lapse of a predetermined period from the start of the variable display, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol indicating the lottery result of the jackpot lottery.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 100 variably displays the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), the decorative symbol (for example, three numbers) of the image display unit 104 is variably displayed. When the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. For example, when a special symbol is stopped and displayed with a predetermined symbol indicating a jackpot (when a jackpot lottery is won in the jackpot lottery), the pachinko gaming machine 100 has a combination that indicates a jackpot (for example, “7/7/7”). The decorative design is stopped and displayed with a so-called doublet).

  When the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed with the combination indicating the jackpot, the pachinko gaming machine 100 is in the jackpot gaming state, and the jackpot 109 is opened for the round corresponding to the winning jackpot (for example, 15 rounds). If the game ball wins the big winning opening 109 during the opening, the pachinko gaming machine 100 pays out a predetermined number of prize balls. During the jackpot gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 does not perform a jackpot lottery. The jackpot gaming state ends when the winning prize opening 109 for the winning round is completed.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 100 ends the jackpot gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 returns to the gaming state in which the jackpot lottery is performed again. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 100 enters a probability-changing gaming state when the jackpot gaming state with a high probability length is terminated, and enters a short-time gaming state when the jackpot gaming state with a low probability length is terminated. In addition, when the big hit gaming state with high probability short win is ended, the latent gaming state is entered. Each gaming state will be described below.

(Game state of pachinko machine)
When in the normal gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 performs a jackpot lottery using the low probability winning determination table (see FIG. 5) for the low probability gaming state, for example, a jackpot winning a jackpot with a probability of 1/300 Make a lottery. Further, in the normal gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 does not provide a game support function (hereinafter referred to as “electric chew support function”) by opening and closing the electric tulip 107.

  The specific contents of the electric chew support function will not be described in detail because it is a well-known technique. For example, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened and the winning probability per normal symbol is improved (the frequency of opening the electric tulip 107). Increase of the opening time of the electric tulip 107 and the like. That is, in a normal game state where the electric chew support function is not given, it is difficult for the game ball to win the second starting port 106. In the normal gaming state, a game is played by left-handed, in which a game ball is launched in the left area of the game area 103.

  When in the short-time gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 performs a jackpot lottery using the hit determination table for the low-probability gaming state in the same manner as the normal gaming state, but gives an electric chew support function. For this reason, in the short-time gaming state in which the electric chew support function is provided, it becomes easier for the game ball to win the second starting port 106 than in the normal gaming state in which the electric chew support function is not provided. In the short-time gaming state, a game is played by hitting a game ball to the right area of the game area 103.

  When in the probable gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 performs a jackpot lottery using a hit determination table (not shown) for a high probability gaming state, for example, a jackpot lottery that wins a jackpot with a probability of 1/30. . That is, in the probability variation gaming state, a jackpot lottery for winning the jackpot with a high probability is performed as compared with the normal gaming state and the short-time gaming state. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 provides an electric chew support function in the probability variation gaming state. In the probability variation gaming state, a game is played by hitting a game ball to the right area of the game area 103.

  When in the latent probability gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 performs a jackpot lottery using the hit determination table for the high probability gaming state in the same manner as the probability variation gaming state, but does not provide the electric chew support function. Therefore, in the latent game state where the electric chew support function is not given, it is more difficult for the game ball to win the second starting port 106 than in the probability variation game state where the electric chew support function is given. In the latent game state, a game is played by left-handed in which a game ball is launched in the left side of the game area 103.

  For example, the pachinko gaming machine 100 makes a transition to a gaming state with a jackpot as described above, and also makes a transition to the next gaming state when a specified number of jackpots are drawn after the previous gaming state transition. You may do it. At this time, the game state of the transfer destination is determined in advance by the manufacturer of the pachinko gaming machine 100. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 100 shifts to the normal gaming state when it makes 100 big hits in the short-time gaming state.

(Details of information display section)
Next, details of the information display unit 112 will be described. FIG. 1-2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of the information display unit. 1-2, the information display unit 112 includes a special symbol display unit 113, a normal symbol display unit 114, a reserved number display unit 115, and a round display unit 116. Each display unit 112-116 employs an LED display.

  The first special symbol display unit 113a represents a lottery result of a jackpot lottery performed when a game ball wins the first starting port 105, and includes eight LEDs. The second special symbol display unit 113b represents a lottery result of a jackpot lottery performed when a game ball wins the second starting port 106, and, like the first special symbol display unit 113a, includes eight LEDs. Become.

  During the change of each special symbol, for example, each LED is sequentially turned on and off so as to flow from left to right in the drawing. Note that during the change of the special symbol, the image display unit 104 performs a variation effect using the decorative symbol. When the variation of the special symbol is stopped, the lottery result of the big hit lottery is displayed according to the lighting state of the LED.

  For example, when only the rightmost LED is lit, it indicates a loss, and when the first, second, fourth, and seventh LEDs from the left are lit, it indicates a high / short hit rate. It is like that. Further, when all the LEDs are lit, high accuracy per unit is shown. The lighting mode of the LED indicating each hit may be a single lighting mode or a plurality of lighting modes.

  Note that when the special symbol is stopped at a symbol indicating a loss, the decorative symbol displayed on the image display unit 104 is stopped at a so-called discoloration indicating a loss. In addition, when the special symbol stops at the symbol indicating the high probability short hit, the decorative symbol displayed on the image display unit 104 stops at the decorative symbol (for example, 1, 3, 5) indicating the high probability short hit. Further, when the special symbol stops at the symbol indicating the high accuracy length, the decorative symbol displayed on the image display unit 104 stops at the decorative symbol (for example, 7, 7, 7) indicating the high accuracy length.

  The normal symbol display unit 114 represents a normal symbol lottery performed when a game ball passes through the gate 108, and includes one LED. The LED blinks during normal symbol variation. When the variation of the normal symbol is stopped, the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery is displayed according to the lighting state of the LED. When the variation of the normal symbol is stopped, for example, when the LED is turned on, it is a hit and the electric tulip 107 is opened. When the change of the normal symbol stops, the LED is turned off, and it becomes lost.

  The reserved number display unit 115 includes a first special symbol reserved number display unit 115a, a second special symbol reserved number display unit 115b, and a normal symbol reserved number display unit 115c. The first special symbol hold number display unit 115a stores the game balls that have won the first starting port 105 during the change of the special symbol as the number of pieces of information for judgment (so-called hold number) with a prescribed number (for example, 4) as the upper limit. Display what you did. The second special symbol hold number display unit 115b stores the game balls that have won the second starting port 106 during the change of the special symbol, with a prescribed number (for example, 4) as an upper limit, and the number of pieces of information for determination (so-called hold number). Display what you did.

  The normal symbol hold number display unit 115c displays a game ball that has passed through the gate 108 during the change of the normal symbol, with a predetermined number (for example, 4) as an upper limit and stored as a determination information number (so-called hold number). . The round display unit 116 displays the number of rounds for the jackpot during the jackpot. For example, an LED representing “2” is turned on in the case of a big hit of 2 rounds, and an LED representing “16” is turned on in the case of a big hit of 16 rounds.

  In the image display unit 104, when the 16-round jackpot is won, the 2-round jackpot effect is performed, and it looks as if the 2-round jackpot has been won. There is a so-called promotion effect that shifts from the production for the production to the production for the 16-round jackpot.

(Back configuration of pachinko machine)
Next, the back configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 100 will be described. 1-3 is explanatory drawing which shows the back surface structure of a pachinko game machine. 1-3, the pachinko gaming machine 100 is fitted in a frame member 117, and is connected to a game medium lending device 140 that lends game balls.

(Internal configuration of pachinko machine)
Next, the internal configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 100 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram (No. 1) showing the internal configuration of the pachinko gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 200 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a main control unit 201 that controls the progress of the game, a prize ball control unit 202 that controls the payout of prize balls, and an effect control that controls the contents of the effect. Part 203. Each control unit will be described in detail below.

(1. Main control unit)
The main control unit 201 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 211, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 212, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 213, an input / output interface (I / O) (not shown), and the like. The The CPU 211 reads various programs related to the progress of the game from the ROM 212, and executes the read programs using the RAM 213 as a work area.

  The main control unit 201 is connected to various switches (hereinafter abbreviated as “SW”) that function as detection means for detecting a game ball. For example, as shown in the figure, the main control unit 201 includes a first start port SW 214 a that detects a game ball won in the first start port 105 and a second start that detects a game ball won in the second start port 106. A mouth SW 214b, a gate SW 215 that detects a game ball that has passed through the gate 108, a big winning port SW 216 that detects a gaming ball that has won a prize winning port 109, and a normal winning that detects a game ball that has won a normal winning hole 110 The mouth SW 217 is connected.

  The various SWs 214 to 217 input a detection signal indicating whether or not a game ball has been detected to the main control unit 201. Based on the detection signals input from the various SWs 214 to 217, the main control unit 201 stores determination information (see FIG. 4) corresponding to the right to receive the big hit lottery, or uses the determination information to win the big hit lottery Or a prize ball payout instruction is given to the prize ball control unit 202 in accordance with the lottery result of the winning lottery.

  Here, as the first start port SW 214a, the second start port SW 214b, the gate SW 215, and the big winning port SW 216, for example, a proximity switch can be adopted. In addition, when a plurality of first start openings 105 are provided on the game board 101, a plurality of first start openings SW 214a may be provided for each arrangement position of the first start openings 105. Further, even when a plurality of normal winning ports 110 are provided on the game board 101, a plurality of normal winning ports SW 217 may be provided according to the arrangement positions of the normal winning ports 110.

  The main control unit 201 is connected to various solenoids that function as electric accessory driving means for driving electric accessories such as the electric tulip 107 and the big prize opening 109. For example, as shown in the figure, the main controller 201 is connected to an electric tulip solenoid 218 that opens and closes the electric tulip 107 and a big prize opening solenoid 219 that opens and closes the big prize opening 109.

  The main control unit 201 inputs / blocks an electric signal to the electric tulip solenoid 218 based on the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery, or inputs / blocks an electric signal to the big prize opening solenoid 219 based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. . The various solenoids 218 and 219 convert the electric signal supplied from the main control unit 201 into a mechanical motion to open and close the electric tulip 107 and open and close the special prize opening 109.

  The main control unit 201 is connected to various symbol display units that function as symbol display means for displaying special symbols and normal symbols. For example, the main control unit 201 includes a first special symbol display unit 113a that displays a first special symbol, a second special symbol display unit 113b that displays a second special symbol, and a normal symbol display unit that displays a normal symbol. 114 is connected to a number-of-holds display unit 115 that displays the number of information for determination being held.

  The main control unit 201 performs display control of the first special symbol display unit 113a and display control of the second special symbol display unit 113b based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. Further, the main control unit 201 performs display control of the normal symbol display unit 114 based on the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery. Based on the number of holds, the display content of the hold number display unit 115 is controlled.

  Here, an example of a program executed by the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201 and an example of information set in the RAM 213 by executing each program will be described. Note that the programs and the like described below only describe characteristic features that are particularly important in the present embodiment. In addition to the programs described below, the ROM 212 stores a number of programs (not shown), and the RAM 213 stores a number of storage areas (not shown) in addition to the storage areas described below.

  The main processing program 212a performs initial setting of built-in devices such as a CTC (timer counter) of the main control unit 201 in accordance with the supply of power to the pachinko gaming machine 100, and sets setting information indicating setting contents to a setting storage area It is stored in 213a. For example, the setting information includes information indicating a cycle for executing the timer interrupt processing program.

  Further, the main processing program 212a monitors the power-off of the pachinko gaming machine 100, generates backup information when the power is cut-off, and stores this backup information in the backup storage area 213b. The RAM 213 is supplied with power by a backup power source (not shown) even if the power of the pachinko gaming machine 100 is cut off for a certain period (for example, one day). Therefore, the RAM 213 can hold the backup information stored in the backup storage area 213b for a certain period even when the pachinko gaming machine 100 is powered off.

  The RAM 213 may be a non-volatile RAM such as FeRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) or a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory. In this case, the RAM 213 can hold the backup information stored in the backup storage area 213b without a backup power source. Detailed processing contents of the main processing realized by the main processing program 212a will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The timer interrupt processing program 212b sequentially executes subprograms such as a random number update processing program 212c, a switch processing program 212d, a symbol processing program 212j, an electric accessory control processing program 212m, a prize ball processing program 212q, and an output processing program 212r. Let

  The timer interrupt processing program 212b is interrupted and executed for the main processing program 212a at the cycle stored in the setting storage area 213a by the main processing program 212a. The timer interrupt processing realized by the timer interrupt processing program 212b will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The random number update processing program 212c updates the count values of various random number acquisition counters managed by the main control unit 201 such as hit random numbers, symbol random numbers, and fluctuation pattern random numbers. For example, each time the random number update processing program 212c is executed once, “1” is added to each count value of each random number counter stored in the counter storage area 213c.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in the counter storage area of the present embodiment. The counter storage area 213c stores count values of random number counters managed by the main control unit 201 such as a hit random number counter C1, a design random number counter C2, a variation pattern random number counter C3, and a normal design random number counter C4.

  Each time the random number update processing program 212c is executed, the random number update processing program 212c adds “1” to the count value of each of the random number counters C1 to C4 as a new count value of each of the random number counters C1 to C4. The counter storage area 213c is updated.

  In addition, when the count values of the random number counters C1 to C4 reach a predetermined value, the random number update processing program 212c, for example, returns the count value to “0” and performs the same count up again. In the present embodiment, as an example, the winning random number is counted within the range of “0 to 299”. In addition, it is assumed that the design random number and the fluctuation pattern are counted within the range of “0 to 99”.

  Further, the random number update processing program 212c may further cause the initial value random number to be counted. Here, the initial value random number is a random number for determining which value to return to the winning random number counter C1 when the winning random number reaches a predetermined value (“299” in the example of the present embodiment). be able to. In this case, when the count value of the hit random number counter C1 reaches a predetermined value, the random number update processing program 212c returns the count value of the random number counter C1 to a value that is the same value as the initial value random number.

  The switch processing program 212d sequentially executes subprograms such as a start opening switch processing program 212e, a gate switch processing program 212g, a big winning opening switch processing program 212h, and a normal winning opening switch processing program 212i.

  The start port switch processing program 212e is a hit random number counter C1, a design random number counter C2, a variation pattern random number counter in the counter storage area 213c at the timing when the first start port SW 214a detects a game ball winning the first start port 105. The count value of each counter of C3 is acquired as determination information, and the acquired determination information is stored in the determination information storage area 213d of the RAM 213.

  Similarly, when the game ball that has won the second start port 106 is detected by the second start port SW 214b, the start port switch processing program 212e similarly receives a winning random number counter C1, a design random number counter C2, The count value of each counter of the fluctuation pattern random number counter C3 is acquired as determination information. Then, the obtained determination information is stored in the determination information storage area 213d of the RAM 213.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in the determination information storage area of the present embodiment. The determination information storage area 213d includes determination information storage areas J1 to J8. In the determination information storage areas J1 to J8, the winning random number counter C1, the design random number counter C2, and the variation pattern random number counter C3 acquired at the timing when the game balls win the first starting port 105 and the second starting port 106 are stored. The count value of each counter is stored in association as determination information.

  Further, in the determination information storage areas J1 to J8, it is also stored whether the winning that triggered each acquisition of the determination information is for the first start port 105 or the second start port 106. The determination information storage areas J1 to J8 can store up to eight pieces of determination information, with the upper limit being four for each of the first start port 105 and the second start port 106. It has become.

  The determination information storage areas J1 to J8 are set with a priority order for receiving a hit determination. In the illustrated example, the determination information stored in the determination information storage area with a smaller number, such as the determination information storage area J1, the determination information storage area J2, the determination information storage area J3,... The higher the information, the higher the priority for receiving the hit determination.

  In the present embodiment, in the time series, the number is stored in the younger determination information storage area from the determination information acquired by winning first. Further, in the present embodiment, the determination information acquired in response to the winning at the second starting port 106 has a lower number than the determination information acquired in response to the winning at the first starting port 105. Stored in the information storage area. The start port switch process realized by the start port switch processing program 212e will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The gate switch processing program 212g acquires the count value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 in the counter storage area 213c as the normal symbol determination information at the timing when the game ball that has passed through the gate 108 is detected by the gate SW 215. The normal symbol determination information is stored in the determination information storage area 213d of the RAM 213.

  The big winning opening switch processing program 212h detects a game ball that won the big winning opening 109 by the big winning opening SW216, and the normal winning opening switch processing program 212i won the game ball that won the normal winning opening 110 by the normal winning opening SW217. Is detected.

  The symbol processing program 212j sequentially executes a special symbol processing program 212k and a normal symbol processing program 212l. The special symbol processing program 212k uses the determination information stored in the determination information storage area 213d to sequentially perform a hit determination, a symbol determination, and a variation pattern determination, and these determination results are stored in the determination result storage area 213e. Remember me. Based on these determination results, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 113 is displayed in a variable manner and stopped.

  When a plurality of pieces of determination information are stored in the determination information storage area 213d, the special symbol processing program 212k uses the determination information stored in the determination information storage area J1 set with the highest priority. , Hit determination, symbol determination, and variation pattern determination are sequentially performed.

  Specifically, in the special symbol processing program 212k, first, the winning determination table At stored in the ROM 212 is compared with the winning random number of the determination information. Here, the hit determination table At stored in the ROM 212 will be described.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the hit determination table. As shown in FIG. 5, the hit determination table At is composed of a low probability hit determination table At1 and a high probability hit determination table At2. The low probability determination table At1 and the high probability determination table At2 are configured by associating a predetermined determination value with each of the big hit and the small hit. Here, the determination values of the low probability hit determination table At1 and the high probability hit determination table At2 define the winning probabilities for the big hit and the small hit in the hit determination.

  Specifically, in the hit determination, the winning probabilities for the big hit and the small win are determined by the number of determination values associated with each. In the low probability determination table At1, a determination value “0 (1)” is assigned to the big hit. On the other hand, the determination value “0 to 9 (10 pieces)” is assigned to the big hit in the high probability hit determination table At2. In addition, in the low probability determination table At1 and the high probability determination table At2, determination values “10 to 12 (three)” are assigned to the small hits. Here, the small hit can be a specific lose represented by a symbol (special symbol) different from a normal lose (a loss other than the small hit).

  The special symbol processing program 212k makes a hit determination using the low probability determination table At1 when the high probability game flag is set to OFF at the time of the determination. If the high probability game flag is set to ON at the time of the hit determination, the hit determination is performed using the high probability hit determination table At2.

  The special symbol processing program 212k determines that if the winning random number matches the judgment value associated with the jackpot, it is determined that the winning jackpot has been won, and if it matches the judgment value associated with the jackpot, Let the player decide that he has won. If the hit determination random number does not match any of the hit determination values, it is determined that the hit is a normal loss (a normal loss that is not a small hit).

  As described above, the acquired hit random number is any numerical value from 0 to 299. For this reason, when the high-probability game flag is set to OFF (low-probability game state) and a hit determination is performed using the low-probability determination table At1, a big win is won with a probability of 1/300. . When the high probability game flag is set to ON (high probability game state) and a hit determination is made using the high probability hit determination table At2, the jackpot is won with a probability of 10/300 (= 1/30). It has become.

  Regardless of the gaming state, the pachinko gaming machine 100 wins a small win with a probability of 3/300 (= 1/100). In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 100, in the jackpot lottery when the high-probability game flag is set to ON, there is a tendency that it is easier to win the jackpot than when the high-probability game flag is set to OFF.

  If the special symbol processing program 212k determines that the jackpot has been won, the special symbol processing program 212k subsequently compares the symbol determination table Zt stored in the ROM 212 with the symbol random number in the determination information. Here, the symbol determination table Zt stored in the ROM 212 will be described.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the symbol determination table. As shown in FIG. 6, the symbol determination table Zt includes a first symbol determination table Zt1 and a second symbol determination table Zt2. In the first symbol determination table Zt1 and the second symbol determination table Zt2, a predetermined determination value is associated with each jackpot type (in the illustrated example, per low accuracy length, high accuracy length, high accuracy short hit). Configured. Here, the determination values of the first symbol determination table Zt1 and the second symbol determination table Zt2 define the winning probability for each jackpot type in the symbol determination.

  Specifically, in the symbol determination, the winning probabilities for the big win and the small win are determined by the number of determination values associated with each. In the first symbol determination table Zt1, a determination value “0 to 39 (40 pieces)” is assigned for each low-accuracy length. Further, in the first symbol determination table Zt1, the determination value “40 to 59 (20 pieces)” is assigned to the high accuracy length, and the determination value “60 to 99 (40 pieces)” is assigned to the high accuracy length. ing.

  On the other hand, in the second symbol determination table Zt2, the determination value “0 to 39 (40 pieces)” is assigned to the low probability length. Further, in the second symbol determination table Zt2, the determination value “40 to 89 (50 pieces)” is assigned to the high accuracy length, and the determination value “90 to 99 (10 pieces)” is assigned to the high accuracy length. ing.

  The special symbol processing program 212k makes symbol determination using the first symbol determination table Zt1 when the winning that is the trigger for obtaining the determination target determination information is the first start port 105. When the winning that triggered the acquisition of the determination target determination information is the second start port 106, the symbol determination is performed using the second symbol determination table Zt2.

  The special symbol processing program 212k determines that the winning combination for the low-accuracy length is won when the symbol random number of the determination information matches the determination value associated with the low-accuracy length. When the design random number of the information for determination matches the determination value associated with the high accuracy length, it is determined that the winning value has been won for the high accuracy length. If it matches the determination value associated with the high-accuracy short, it is determined that the high-accuracy short win has been won.

  As described above, the acquired symbol random number is any numerical value from 0 to 99. For this reason, when the game ball wins the first starting port 105 and performs symbol determination using the first symbol determination table Zt1, the winning combination is won at 60/100. When the game ball wins the second starting port 106 and performs symbol determination using the second symbol determination table Zt2, the winning combination is won per 80/100. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 100, in the jackpot lottery with respect to the winning at the second starting port 106, it tends to be more likely to win the long win than the jackpot lottery with respect to the winning at the first starting port 105.

  Subsequently, the special symbol processing program 212k compares the variation pattern determination table Ht with the variation pattern random number of the determination information. FIG. 7A is an explanatory diagram of an example of a variation pattern determination table used in the normal gaming state. As illustrated in FIG. 7A, the variation pattern determination table THt includes a first variation pattern determination table Ht1 and a second variation pattern determination table Ht2.

  The first variation pattern determination table Ht1 and the second variation pattern determination table Ht2 are configured by associating predetermined determination values with the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 and Hp21 to Hp24. Here, the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 and Hp21 to Hp24 define the variation mode of the special symbol, and define, for example, a period during which the special symbol is varied (hereinafter referred to as “variation time”).

  The determination values of the first variation pattern determination table Ht1 and the second variation pattern determination table Ht2 define winning probabilities for the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 and Hp21 to Hp24 in the variation pattern determination. Specifically, in the variation pattern determination, the winning probabilities of the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 and Hp21 to Hp24 are determined by the number of determination values associated with each.

  The special symbol processing program 212k makes a variation pattern determination using the first variation pattern determination table Ht1 when the determination result of the hit determination in the normal gaming state is lost. When the determination result of the hit determination in the normal gaming state is a big hit, the variation pattern determination is performed using the second variation pattern determination table Ht2.

  FIG. 7-2 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a variation pattern determination table used in a gaming state with an electric chew support function (time-short gaming state or probability variation gaming state). As illustrated in FIG. 7B, the variation pattern determination table DHt includes a first variation pattern determination table Ht3 and a second variation pattern determination table Ht2. The first variation pattern determination table Ht3 is used at the time of losing in the gaming state with the electric chew support function. The second variation pattern determination table Ht2 is used at the time of a big hit in the gaming state with the electric chew support function, and is the same as that shown in FIG.

  The first variation pattern determination table Ht3 is configured by associating a predetermined determination value with each variation pattern Hp11 to Hp15. In the first variation pattern determination table Ht3, the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp15 are selected according to the presence / absence of determination information (second hold) by winning at the second start port 106 and the number of remaining variations in the gaming state with the electric chew support function. It is supposed to be.

  The variation pattern Hp11 has a variation time of 10 seconds, is a case where the determination value is “0 to 79”, and there is no determination information (second hold) by winning to the second start port 106. (0) wins. The variation pattern Hp15 has a variation time of 1 second, is a case where the determination value is “0 to 79”, and information for determination by winning to the second start port 106 (second hold) Wins when there is (1 or more). That is, when the determination value is “0 to 79”, either one of the variation patterns Hp11 or Hp15 is won depending on the presence or absence of the second hold.

  The variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 are selected when the remaining variation count in the gaming state with the electric chew support function is 1 or more. The variation pattern Hp15 is selected when the number of remaining variations in the gaming state with the electric chew support function is 2 or more. That is, when the final variation of the gaming state with the electric support function is a loss, any one of the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 is selected regardless of whether or not the second suspension is present. Thereby, even when the movable accessory 130 is located at the advanced position in the final change of the gaming state with the electric chew support function, the movable accessory 130 is reliably retracted to the retracted position during the gaming state with the electric chew support function. The configuration is to let

  In a gaming state with an electric chew support function, a state where there is a second hold often occurs. In such a case, by changing the fluctuation pattern Hp15 having a fluctuation time of 1 second, a quick game can be performed. It is possible. On the other hand, in the gaming state with the electric chew support function, when there is no second hold, the time for winning the game ball to the second starting port 106 by changing the fluctuation pattern Hp11 having a fluctuation time of 10 seconds. Like to earn.

  Here, in a state where there is no second hold, when determination information (first hold) that is disadvantageous to the player due to winning at the first start port 105 is stored, the variation due to this determination information starts. It will be. In the present embodiment, by performing the variation according to the variation pattern Hp11 in a state where there is no second hold, it is difficult to cause a variation that is disadvantageous to the player in the gaming state with the electric chew support function.

  When the special symbol processing program 212k makes a hit determination, a symbol determination, or a variation pattern determination, these determination results are stored in the determination result storage area 213e. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the determination result storage area. As shown in FIG. 8, the determination result storage area 213e stores the determination result of the hit determination, the determination result of the symbol determination, and the determination result of the variation pattern determination in association with each other.

  In addition, you may make it memorize | store the information which shows the symbol showing both the determination result of winning determination, and the determination result of symbol determination in the determination result storage area 213e. For example, in this case, the symbol “1” is stored per high accuracy length, and the symbol “2” is stored per low accuracy length. In addition, the symbol “3” is stored in the high accuracy short hit, the symbol “4” is stored in the small hit, and the symbol “−” is stored in the loss. The special symbol processing realized by the special symbol processing program 212k will be described later with reference to FIG.

A payout instruction (prize ball command) is set in the prize ball information storage area 213g.

  The output processing program 212r causes information indicating the storage contents of each storage area set in the RAM 213 to be output to each component connected to the main control unit 201 (for example, the prize ball control unit 202 and the effect control unit 203a). .

  In addition, the start port switch processing program 212e described above may execute the prior determination processing program 212f as a subprogram. Here, the prior determination processing program 212f sequentially performs a hit determination, a symbol determination, and a variation pattern determination on each determination information stored in the determination information storage area 213d, and these determination results are stored in the prior determination storage area 213h. Remember me.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a prior determination storage area according to the present embodiment. The pre-determination storage area 213h stores determination results of hit determination, symbol determination, and variation pattern determination for the determination information stored in the determination information storage areas J1 to J8 of the determination information storage area 213d.

  The prior determination storage area 213h may store information indicating symbols representing both the determination result of the hit determination and the determination result of the symbol determination. For example, in this case, the symbol “1” is stored per high accuracy length, and the symbol “2” is stored per low accuracy length. In addition, the symbol “3” is stored in the high accuracy short hit, the symbol “4” is stored in the small hit, and the symbol “−” is stored in the loss. Detailed processing contents of the preliminary determination process realized by the preliminary determination processing program 212f will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In addition, an effect button 122 and a cross key 123 having a function of accepting an operation from a player are connected to the effect control unit 203a. The effect button 122 and the cross key 123 input a control signal corresponding to a key operated (for example, pressed) by the player to the effect control unit 203a. The effect supervision unit 203 a sets an operation command indicating that an operation by the player has been accepted in the RAM 233 based on a control signal input from the effect button 122 or the cross key 123.

  Here, an example of a program executed by the CPU 231 of the production control unit 203a and an example of information set in the RAM 233 by executing each program will be described. Note that the programs and the like described below only describe characteristic features that are particularly important in the present embodiment. In addition to the programs described below, the ROM 232 stores a number of programs (not shown), and the RAM 233 stores a number of storage areas (not shown) in addition to the storage areas described below.

  The production main processing program 232a makes initial settings of built-in devices such as CTC of the production control unit 203a in response to the supply of power to the production control unit 203a, and stores the setting contents in the setting storage area 233a. The effect main processing program 232a updates the count values of various random number acquisition counters managed by the effect control unit 203a, such as a notice effect pattern random number. For example, the production main processing program 232a adds “1” to the count value of the counter of the announcement production pattern random number every time one loop is made.

  The effect timer interruption processing program 232b sequentially executes the effect random number update processing program 232c, the command reception processing program 232d, the operation reception processing program 232h, the command transmission processing program 232i, and the effect mode setting processing program 232j. The effect timer interrupt processing program 232b is interrupted and executed with respect to the effect main process program 232a at the cycle stored in the setting storage area 233a by executing the effect main process program 232a. The effect timer interrupt process realized by the effect timer interrupt process program 232b will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The effect random number update processing program 232c updates count values of various random number acquisition counters managed by the effect control unit 203a, such as a notice effect pattern random number. For example, every time the effect random number update processing program 232c is executed, “1” is added to the count value of the notice effect pattern random number counter stored in the effect counter storage area 233b.

  In addition, when the count value of the notice effect pattern random number counter reaches a predetermined value, the effect random number update processing program 232c returns the count value to “0”, for example, and performs the same count up again. In the present embodiment, as an example, the notice effect pattern random number is counted within the range of “0 to 99”.

  The command reception processing program 232d is, for example, based on a command received from the main control unit 201 (for example, a change start command), a determination result storage area 213e of the main control unit 201, and a determination result storage area 233c of the production control unit 203a.

Synchronize the memory content with.

  In addition, the command reception processing program 232d has a variation effect pattern selection processing program 232e, a notice effect pattern selection processing program 232f, and a hit effect pattern selection processing program 232g based on the stored contents of the determination result storage area 233c and the prior determination storage area 233d. Let it run. The processing content of the command reception processing realized by the command reception processing program 232d will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The variation effect pattern selection processing program 232e selects a variation effect pattern from the variation effect pattern table Et stored in the ROM 232 based on a command received from the main control unit 201 or the like.

  FIG. 11A is an explanatory diagram of an example of the variation effect pattern table. As shown in FIG. 11A, the variation effect pattern table Et includes a first variation effect pattern table Et1 used in the normal gaming state, a second variation effect pattern table Et2 used in the gaming state with the electric chew support function, Have

  The first variation effect pattern table Et1 is configured by associating the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp14 and Hp21 to Hp24 with the variation effect patterns Ep1 to Ep6. Here, the fluctuation effect patterns Ep1 to Ep6 can define the contents of the effects of the fluctuation effects such as the normal loss effect and the reach effect.

  Here, the details of the production contents will be described. The non-driving effect displays an operation instruction image that prompts the player to operate the effect button 122 15 seconds after the start of fluctuation, and drives the movable accessory 130 even when an operation to the effect button 122 from the player is accepted. It is a production that does not let you. The bonus driving loss effect is an effect that displays an operation instruction image 15 seconds after the start of fluctuation and drives the movable accessory 130 when an operation on the effect button 122 from the player is accepted. This accessory-driven lost effect is selected only when lost.

  The effect driving effect is an effect similar to the effect driving loss effect, and is selected only when winning. The effect driving effect and the effect driving loss effect are effects in which the same image is displayed on the image display unit 104 for 57 seconds from the start of the change, and the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed 57 seconds after the start of the change. The temporary stop display of the decorative symbol means that the decorative symbol indicating the hit determination result is displayed as if it was fixedly displayed during the change of the special symbol. That is, the effect driving per unit finishes after a temporary stop display for 3 seconds of the decorative symbol is completed, and the accessory driving loss effect ends after a temporary stop display for 6 seconds of the decorative symbol is performed. When the movable accessory 130 is advanced from the retracted position to the advanced position in the accessory driving loss production, the movable accessory 130 is retracted from the advanced position to the retracted position 3 seconds after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. .

  In the bonus driving re-lottery effect, an operation instruction image is displayed 15 seconds after the start of variation, and when an operation to the rendering button 122 from the player is accepted, the movable accessory 130 is not driven, and 60 seconds from the start of variation. A second lottery effect will be given in seconds. The re-lottery effect is an effect of temporarily displaying the variably displayed decorative symbol as a winning symbol and then starting the variable display again to stop and display the winning symbol indicating the winning type. This accessory-driven re-lottery effect is selected only at the time of winning. In addition, when performing the re-lottery effect, the movable accessory 130 is driven during the temporary stop display.

  The second variation effect pattern table Et2 is configured by associating the variation patterns Hp11 to Hp15 and Hp21 to Hp24 with the variation effect patterns Ep11 to Ep17. Here, the change effect patterns Ep11 to Ep17 are effects that can be handled by an accessory. An effect capable of handling an accessory is an effect that can use the movable accessory 130 located at the advance position. In the present embodiment, since the movable accessory 130 has a shape imitating a wave, the movable object 130 and the image display unit 104 are correlated by displaying an image on the theme of the sea on the image display unit 104. It has a production.

  The variation effect pattern selection processing program 232e selects a variation effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern based on the information indicating the variation pattern in the determination result storage area 233c updated based on the received variation start command. Then, a variation effect start command including information indicating the selected variation effect pattern is stored in the transmission command storage area 233e. The processing contents of the changing effect pattern selection process realized by the changing effect pattern selection processing program 232e will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The notice effect pattern selection processing program 232f selects a notice effect pattern from the notice effect pattern table Yt stored in the ROM 232 based on a command received from the main control unit 201 or the like. Here, the notice effect pattern defines the contents of effects such as a step-up notice and a small character notice that are executed in accordance with the execution of the variable effect.

  FIG. 11B is an explanatory diagram of an example of a notice effect pattern table. As shown in FIG. 11B, the notice effect pattern table Yt includes a first notice effect pattern table Yt1 and a second notice effect pattern table Yt2.

  The first notice effect pattern table Yt1 and the second notice effect pattern table Yt2 are configured by associating a predetermined determination value with a notice effect pattern that defines the contents of a notice effect such as a step-up notice or a small character notice. The Here, the determination values of the first notice effect pattern table Yt1 and the second notice effect pattern table Yt2 define the winning probabilities of the respective notice effect patterns. Specifically, the winning probabilities for the respective notice effect patterns Yp1 to Yp6 are determined by the number of determination values associated with each.

  When the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is lost, the notice effect pattern selection processing program 232f performs the notice effect lottery using the first notice effect pattern table Yt1, and selects the notice effect pattern by this lottery. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the notice effect pattern selection processing program 232f performs the notice effect lottery using the second notice effect pattern table Yt2, and selects the notice effect pattern by this lottery.

  In the first notice effect pattern table Yt1 and the second notice effect pattern table Yt2, the pachinko gaming machine 100 determines each of the notice effect patterns so that it is easier to select a notice effect pattern having a larger number than that at the time of losing at the big hit. A value is defined. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 100, the larger the number of the notice effect pattern, the higher the expectation of the notice effect pattern.

  The winning effect pattern selection processing program 232g selects a winning effect pattern corresponding to the winning result from the winning effect pattern table Xt stored in the ROM 232 based on a command received from the main control unit 201 or the like. Here, the hit production pattern defines the contents of the production of the hit production during the big hit (low hit length, high hit length, high hit rate) or during the small hit.

  The operation reception processing program 232h receives input signals from the effect button 122 and the cross key 123, and stores an operation command indicating that there is a player operation in the transmission command storage area 233e. The processing content of the operation reception processing realized by the operation reception processing program 232h will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The effect mode setting processing program 232j sets the effect mode from the effect mode table Mt stored in the ROM 232 based on a command received from the main control unit 201 or the like. The effect modes include a normal mode in the normal gaming state, a probability changing mode in the probability-changing gaming state, a time-shortening mode in the short-time gaming state, and a latent mode in the latent-probable gaming state.

  FIG. 11C is an explanatory diagram of an example of the effect mode table. As illustrated in FIG. 11C, the effect mode table Mt is configured by associating a mode flag and symbol determination information with each effect mode.

  The effect mode setting processing program 232j sets the effect mode by setting a mode flag corresponding to the symbol determination based on the information indicating the symbol determination of the determination result storage area 233c updated based on the received change stop command. To do. The effect mode setting processing program 232j sets the normal mode by receiving the change stop command a predetermined number of times in each effect mode except the normal mode. Then, a variable effect start command including information indicating the set effect mode is stored in the transmission command storage area 233e. Illustration of the processing content of the effect mode setting process realized by the effect mode setting process program 232j is omitted.

In this embodiment, the symbol indicating the determination result is a decorative symbol corresponding to a special symbol, but is not limited to this. For example, a symbol corresponding to a normal symbol is displayed on the image display unit 104. It may be.

  When the determination result is an advantageous determination result that sets the advantageous gaming state, the effect execution unit 1303 indicates that the variation unit 1302 is a symbol different from the final stop symbol that is finally stopped and displayed, and is the advantageous determination result. After the symbol is stopped and displayed with the advantageous symbol shown, the symbol is displayed again and again, and then the re-variation effect is performed to stop and display the final stop symbol. Displaying a decorative symbol in a stopped state means displaying the decorative symbol to be stopped to such an extent that the player can recognize it.

  In the present embodiment, the temporary stop display that displays the decorative design as if it is slightly shaken, and the final display that displays the decorative design in a fixed manner are set as the stop display. The re-variation effect is a re-lottery effect in the present embodiment. The final stop symbol is a symbol that is stopped and displayed at the end of fluctuation. For example, if the final stop symbol is “7”, the symbol different from the final stop symbol is a winning symbol other than “7”.

  The movement control unit 1304 moves the movable accessory 130 from the first position to the second position before the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed, and from the second position to the first position at a predetermined timing. Move to the position. The timing for moving the movable accessory 130 from the first position to the second position may be any timing as long as it is before the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the movement control unit 1304 moves the movable accessory from the second position to the first position after the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed. After the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed, the final display in the present embodiment is ended. In the present embodiment, the movable accessory 130 is moved from the second position to the first position at the start of the opening period or at the final change of the gaming state with the electric support function, but the symbol stop display However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as it is after. For example, it may be a big hit.

  In addition, the movement control unit 1304 moves the movable accessory 130 from the first position to the second position during execution of the re-variation effect by the effect execution unit 1303. In the present embodiment, the movable accessory 130 is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position during the temporary stop display of the decorative symbol in the re-lottery effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The movable accessory 130 may be moved from the retracted position to the advanced position during the change display after the completion.

(Operation overview of pachinko machines)
Next, an outline of the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14-1 and 14-2. FIG. 14-1 is a flowchart showing an operation outline of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. The explanatory diagram shown in FIG. 14A shows an outline of the operation after it is determined that the game ball has passed through the start area and the game state is advantageous to the player.

  First, the pachinko gaming machine 100 displays a decorative symbol variation display (step S1401), and during the decorative symbol variation display or temporary stop display, the movable accessory 130 is moved from the retracted position, which is the first position, to the second position. It moves to the advance position which is a position (step S1402).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the re-lottery effect is finished (step S1403). If not finished (step S1403: No), the process stands by until the re-lottery effect is finished. When the re-lottery effect ends (step S1403: Yes), the movable accessory 130 is moved from the advanced position that is the second position to the retracted position that is the first position (step S1404), and the process is ended as it is. .

  14-2 is explanatory drawing which shows the operation | movement outline | summary of the pachinko game machine of this Embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14B, the decorative symbol variation display is started at the timing T0, and the temporary stop display of the decorative symbol is started at the timing T1. Then, the variable display is started again from the timing T2 at which the temporary stop display ends, and the movable accessory 130 is moved from the retracted position that is the first position to the advanced position that is the second position.

  Then, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed from the timing T3 when the variable display is finished, and the movable accessory 130 is moved from the advanced position, which is the second position, to the first position at a timing after the timing T4 when the stop display is finished. Move to the retracted position.

(Processing performed by pachinko machines)
(Processing performed by the main control unit)
Next, the contents of processing performed by the pachinko gaming machine 100 to realize the above-described operation will be described. First, processing performed by the main control unit 201 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 will be described. Each process of the main control unit 201 described below is performed by the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201 executing a program stored in the ROM 212.

(Main process)
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the main processing. For example, when the supply of power to the pachinko gaming machine 100 is started, the main control unit 201 starts execution of the main process and continuously executes the main process during startup.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the main process, the main control unit 201 first waits for 1000 ms (step S1501), and then permits access to the RAM 213 (step S1502). When permitting access to the RAM 213, the main control unit 201 determines whether the RAM clear switch is ON (step S1503).

  If the RAM clear switch is ON (step S1503: Yes), the main control unit 201 clears the RAM (step S1504). Here, the RAM clear is a well-known technique and will not be described in detail, but various information stored in the RAM 213 (for example, information indicating a gaming state. ON / OFF of a time-short game flag and a highly-probable game flag) Is in a predetermined initial state.

  When the RAM is cleared, the main control unit 201 sets a work area at the time of clearing (step S1505) and performs initial setting of the peripheral part (step S1506). For example, in step S1506, the main control unit 201 transmits an initial setting command instructing execution of a predetermined initial setting process to each peripheral unit such as the effect control unit 203 and the prize ball control unit 202.

  On the other hand, if the RAM clear switch is not ON (step S1503: No), the main control unit 201 determines whether the backup flag is ON (step S1507). If the backup flag is ON (step S1507: Yes), the main control unit 201 determines whether the checksum is normal (step S1508).

  If the checksum is normal (step S1508: Yes), the main control unit 201 executes a predetermined recovery process (step S1509). In this recovery process, for example, based on the backup information stored in the backup storage area 213b of the RAM 213, recovery to the state before power-off is performed. In this restoration process, the main control unit 201 may transmit backup information to the effect control unit 203.

  In step S1507, if the backup flag is not ON (step S1507: No), or the checksum is not normal (step S1508: No), the main control unit 201 proceeds to step S1504 and clears the RAM.

  Next, the main control unit 201 sets a period (for example, 4 ms) of a built-in CTC (timer counter) (step S1510), and updates the setting storage area 213a. The main control unit 201 executes a timer interrupt process (see FIG. 16), which will be described later, using the period set here. When the CTC cycle is set in step S1510, the main control unit 201 executes power-off monitoring processing for monitoring power-off (step S1511).

  When the power shutdown monitoring process is executed, the main control unit 201 updates the fluctuation pattern random number (step S1512), and sets an interrupt prohibition setting for the timer interrupt process (step S1513). Then, the main control unit 201 updates the initial value random number (step S1514), performs an interrupt permission setting for the timer interrupt process (step S1515), and proceeds to step S1511. Thereafter, the main control unit 201 repeatedly executes the processing from step S1511 to step S1515.

(Timer interrupt processing)
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the timer interrupt processing. When the supply of power is started, the main control unit 201 starts executing a main control process (not shown) including a startup process, a power-off monitoring process, and the like. The main control unit 201 continuously executes this main control process while power is supplied. The main control unit 201 interrupts and executes the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 16 at a predetermined period (for example, 4 ms) with respect to the main control process.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the timer interrupt process, the main control unit 201 first executes a random number update process for updating random numbers used in various lotteries performed by the main control unit 201 (step S1601). In this random number update process, the main control unit 201 updates a winning random number, a design random number, a variation pattern random number, and the like.

  Next, the main control unit 201 executes switch processing for detecting by various switches (step S1602). In this switch process, the main control unit 201 detects a game ball won at the start port (first start port 105, second start port 106) (see FIG. 17), and the game passed through the gate 108. A gate switch process for detecting a ball, a big prize opening switch process for detecting a game ball won in the big prize opening 109, a normal prize opening switch process for detecting a game ball won in the normal prize opening 110, and the like are performed.

  Subsequently, the main control unit 201 executes a symbol process relating to the special symbol and the normal symbol (step S1603). Here, the symbol process includes a special symbol process related to the special symbol and a normal symbol process related to the normal symbol. In the special symbol process, the main control unit 201 performs a jackpot lottery to display the special symbol in a variable display / stop display (see FIG. 19). In the normal symbol processing, the main control unit 201 performs the normal symbol lottery and displays the normal symbol in a variable display / stop display (illustration and detailed description are omitted).

  When the symbol process is executed, the main control unit 201 executes an electric accessory control process related to operation control of various electric accessories (step S1604). Although a detailed description is omitted because it is a known technique, the electric accessory control process includes an electric tulip control process (not shown) for controlling the operation of the electric tulip 107 and a big prize opening for controlling the action of the big prize opening 109. Processing (see FIG. 22) and the like are included.

  Next, the main control unit 201 executes prize ball processing relating to a prize ball (step S1605). In the prize ball process, the main control unit 201 sets, for example, a prize ball command instructing to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls to the RAM 213 for the game balls won in the big prize opening 109 or the normal prize opening 110. Then, the main control unit 201 executes an output process for outputting the command set in the RAM 213 to each of the effect control unit 203 and the like by the processes of steps S1601 to S1605 (step S1606), and ends the timer interrupt process. . When the timer interrupt process ends, the main control unit 201 returns to the main process.

(Start-up switch processing)
Next, processing contents of the start port switch process will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the start port switch processing. In the start port switch process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether or not the first start port SW 214a is turned on (step S1701). If the first start port SW 214a is not ON (step S1701: No), the process proceeds to step S1706 described later.

  If the first start port SW 214a is ON (step S1701: Yes), is the determination information number U1 for the game ball winning the first start port 105 in the determination information storage area 213d less than 4 (U1)? <4) is determined (step S1702). If the number of determination information U1 is not less than 4 (step S1702: No), that is, if the number of determination information U1 is 4 or more, the process proceeds to step S1706.

  If the determination information number U1 is less than 4 (step S1702: Yes), a value obtained by adding “1” to the determination information number U1 is used as a new determination information number U1 (step S1703), and the counter storage area 213c is referred to. The count values of the counters C1 to C3 are acquired as determination information and stored in the determination information storage area 213d (step S1704).

  When the determination information is acquired and stored, the main control unit 201 performs a preliminary determination process (see FIG. 18) based on the stored determination information (step S1705). If the preliminary determination process is performed, the main control unit 201 determines whether the second start port SW 214b is turned on (step S1706). If the second start port SW 214b is not ON (step S1706: No), the start port switch process is terminated as it is.

  If the second start port SW214b is ON (step S1706: Yes), is the determination information number U2 for the game ball winning the second start port 106 in the determination information storage area 213d less than 4 (U2)? <4) is determined (step S1707). If the determination information number U2 is not less than 4 (step S1707: No), that is, if the determination information number U2 is 4 or more, the start port switch process is terminated.

  If the determination information number U2 is less than 4 (step S1707: Yes), a value obtained by adding “1” to the determination information number U2 is used as a new determination information number U2 (step S1708), and the counter storage area 213c is referred to. The count values of the counters C1 to C3 are acquired as determination information and stored in the determination information storage area 213d (step S1709). At this time, the main control unit 201 stores the determination information in a determination information storage area that has a higher priority than the determination information acquired in response to a winning at the first start port 105. In this case, the determination information acquired in response to the winning at the first starting port 105 is shifted one by one to the determination information storage area where the priority is lowered.

  When the determination information is acquired and stored, the main control unit 201 performs a pre-determination process (see FIG. 18) based on the stored determination information (step S1710), and ends the start port switch process.

(Preliminary judgment processing)
Next, processing contents of the prior determination processing will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the processing content of the prior determination processing. In the pre-determination process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether the current gaming state is a high-probability gaming state (the high-probability gaming flag is ON) (step S1801).

  If it is a high probability gaming state (step S1801: Yes), the main control unit 201 selects a high probability determination table (step S1802). If it is not a high probability gaming state (step S1801: No), the main control unit 201 selects a low probability winning determination table (step S1803).

  Subsequently, the main control unit 201 compares the winning determination table selected in step S1802 or step S1803 with the winning random number of the determination information to be determined in advance, and the winning random number is determined to be a big hit in the winning determination table. A hit determination is performed to determine whether or not it matches the corresponding predetermined value (step S1804).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the hit determination in step S1804 is a big hit (step S1805). If it is a big hit (step S1805: Yes), the second variation pattern determination table Ht2 for big hit is selected (step S1806). If it is not a big hit (step S1805: No), that is, if it is a loss, the first variation pattern determination table Ht1 or the first variation pattern determination table Ht3 for loss is selected according to the gaming state (step S1807).

  After that, the main control unit 201 compares the variation pattern determination table selected in any one of steps S1806 and S1807 with the variation pattern random number of the determination information to be determined in advance, and the variation pattern random number is A variation pattern determination is performed to determine which variation pattern corresponds to the determination table (step S1808), and a prior determination result including a hit determination result in step S1804 and a variation pattern determination result in step S1808 is set in the RAM 213. (Step S1809), the preliminary determination process is terminated. The prior determination result set in step S1809 is output to the effect control unit 203 when the output process in step S1606 in FIG. 16 is executed.

(Special symbol processing)
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the special symbol processing. In the special symbol process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether or not the in-confirmation flag is ON (step S1901). The in-determined flag being ON indicates that this is a fixed period for allowing the player to recognize the stopped special symbol until a predetermined time elapses after the change of the special symbol is stopped. When the in-confirmation flag is ON (step S1901: Yes), step S1916 described later is performed.

  If the determining flag is OFF in step S1901 (step S1901: NO), it is determined whether the winning game flag is ON (step S1902). Here, the winning game flag is, for example, a flag that is set to ON when various types of winning (big winning, small winning) are won, and a flag indicating that the current gaming state is a winning gaming state (for example, a big winning gaming state). It is.

  If the winning game flag is ON (step S1902: Yes), the main control unit 201 ends the special symbol process as it is without variably displaying the special symbol. If the winning game flag is not ON (step S1902: No), the main control unit 201 determines whether the special symbol is being variably displayed (step S1903). If the special symbol is not being variably displayed (step S1903: No), the main control unit 201 determines whether or not the number of determination information U2 for the game ball won to the second starting port 106 is 1 or more (step S1904). ).

  If the determination information number U2 is 1 or more (U2 ≧ 1) (step S1904: Yes), the main control unit 201 subtracts “1” from the determination information number U2 as a new determination information number U2. (Step S1905), the process proceeds to Step S1908. If the determination information number U2 is 0 (U2 = 0) (step S1904: No), the main control unit 201 determines whether the determination information number U1 for the game ball won to the first start port 105 is 1 or more. Is determined (step S1906).

  If the determination information number U1 is 0 (U1 = 0) (step S1906: No), the main control unit 201 ends the special symbol process as it is. If the determination information number U1 is 1 or more (U1 ≧ 1) (step S1906: Yes), the main control unit 201 subtracts “1” from the determination information number U1 as a new determination information number U1. (Step S1907), the process proceeds to Step S1908.

  Subsequently, the main control unit 201 performs a jackpot lottery process (see FIG. 20A) (step S1908). When the jackpot lottery process is performed, the main control unit 201 executes a variation pattern determination process (see FIG. 20-2) (step S1909). When determining the variation pattern by the variation pattern determination process, the main control unit 201 starts displaying the variation of the special symbol on the special symbol display unit 113 based on the determined variation pattern (step S1910). At this time, when variably displaying based on the lottery result of the second big hit lottery, the second special symbol of the second special symbol display unit 113b is variably displayed. When variably displaying based on the lottery result of the first jackpot lottery, the first special symbol of the first special symbol display unit 113a is variably displayed.

  The main control unit 201 sets a change start command in the RAM 213 in accordance with the start of special symbol change display (step S1911). The variation start command set in step S1911 includes the lottery result of the jackpot lottery process in step S1908, information indicating the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern determination process in step S1909, and the like. Also, the change start command set in step S1911 is output to the effect control unit 203 when the output process in step S1606 in FIG. 16 is executed.

  Subsequently, the main control unit 201 determines whether or not a predetermined variation time (a variation time defined by a variation pattern selected immediately before the variation display starts) has elapsed since the time when the variation display of the special symbol was started (step S1912). ). If the predetermined fluctuation time has not elapsed (step S1912: No), the main control unit 201 ends the special symbol process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has elapsed (step S1912: Yes), the main control unit 201 stops and displays the special symbol that is being variably displayed on the special symbol display unit 113 (step S1913). (Step S1914). The change stop command set in step S1914 is output to the effect control unit 203 when the output process in step S1606 in FIG. 16 is executed.

  After setting the variable stop command in the RAM 213, the main control unit 201 subsequently turns on the in-confirm flag (step S1915) and sets a flag indicating the game state (for example, the above-mentioned hit game flag) 21 is executed (step S1916), and the special symbol process is terminated. On the other hand, when the special symbol is variably displayed in step S1903 (step S1903: Yes), the main control unit 201 proceeds to step S1912, determines whether the variability time has elapsed, and performs the above processing.

(Large lottery processing)
FIG. 20A is a flowchart of the contents of the big hit lottery process. In the jackpot lottery process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether or not the current gaming state is a high-probability gaming state (the high-probability gaming flag is ON) (step S2001).

  If it is a high probability gaming state (step S2001: Yes), the main control unit 201 selects a high probability hit determination table (step S2002). If it is not a high probability gaming state (step S2001: No), the main control unit 201 selects a low probability winning determination table (step S2003).

  Subsequently, the main control unit 201 compares the hit determination table selected in step S2002 or step S2003 with the hit random number of the determination information (determination information set with the highest priority) that is the target of the hit determination. Then, a hit determination is performed to determine whether or not the hit random number matches a predetermined value corresponding to each hit in the hit determination table (step S2004).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the hit determination in step S2004 is a big hit (step S2005). If it is a big hit (step S2005: Yes), the symbol random number of the information for determination is compared with a predetermined symbol determination table (not shown), and the symbol random number is determined as to which type of jackpot (for example, high probability) Symbol determination is performed to determine whether or not the value matches a predetermined value corresponding to the long hit and low probable length (step S2006). Then, a symbol representing the determination result of the symbol determination is set in the RAM 213 (step S2007), and the jackpot lottery process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the hit determination in step S2004 is not a big win (step S2005: No), it is determined whether the determination result of the win determination is a small win (step S2008). If it is a small hit (step S2008: Yes), a symbol indicating a small hit is set in the RAM 213 (step S2009), and the big win lottery process is terminated. If it is not a small hit (step S2008: No), a symbol indicating a loss is set in the RAM 213 (step S2010), and the big hit lottery process is terminated.

(Fluctuation pattern judgment processing)
FIG. 20B is a flowchart illustrating the processing contents of the variation pattern determination processing. In the fluctuation pattern determination process, the main control unit 201 determines whether the determination result of the hit determination using the current determination information is a big hit (step S2021). If it is a big hit (step S2021: Yes), the second variation pattern determination table Ht2 for big hit is selected (step S2022). If it is not a win (step S2021: No), that is, if it is a loss, the first variation pattern determination table Ht1 or the first variation pattern determination table Ht3 for loss is selected according to the gaming state (step S2023).

  Thereafter, the main control unit 201 compares the variation pattern determination table selected in any one of steps S2022 and S2023 with the variation pattern random number of the current determination information, and the variation pattern random number is found in the variation pattern determination table. The variation pattern is determined to determine which variation pattern corresponds (step S2024), the determination result is set in the RAM 213 (step S2025), and the variation pattern determination process is terminated.

(Processing during stoppage)
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the stop process performed by the main control unit. In the stop process, the CPU 211 of the main control unit 201 first determines whether or not a predetermined fixed time has elapsed from the time when the change of the special symbol is stopped (step S2101). In the present embodiment, the fixed time is 1 second regardless of the fluctuation pattern of the finished fluctuation, but may be different depending on the fluctuation pattern. For example, the longer the change time, the longer the determination time may be set.

  If the predetermined fixed time has not elapsed (step S2101: No), the process is terminated as it is. When the predetermined fixed time has elapsed (step S2101: Yes), the determining flag is turned OFF (step S2102), and it is determined whether or not the short-time game flag is ON (step S2103). The short-time game flag is a flag that is set in a game state setting process described later in FIG. When the time-saving game flag is not ON (step S2103: No), the process proceeds to step S2107.

  When the time-short game flag is ON (step S2103: Yes), a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the time-short game counter J is set as a new time-short game counter J (step S2104). The short-time game counter J indicates the remaining number of games in the game state with the electric chew support function, and is a numerical value set to, for example, 100 times after winning the low probability. The setting of the short-time game counter J will be described later in the game state setting process (see FIG. 27). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the time-saving game counter J is “0” (step S2105).

  When the time-short game counter J is “0” (step S2105: Yes), the time-short game flag is turned OFF (step S2106). When the time-saving game counter J is not “0” (step S2105: No), the process proceeds to step S2107. In step S2107, it is determined whether or not a high probability game flag indicating a high probability gaming state is ON (step S2107).

  In step S2107, when the high probability game flag is OFF (step S2107: No), the process proceeds to step S2111. When the highly probable game flag is ON (step S2107: Yes), a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the high probability game remaining number X is set as a new high probability game remaining number X (step S2108).

  Specifically, the high probability game remaining number X indicates the remaining number of games in the probability variation gaming state or the latent probability gaming state, and is set to, for example, 10,000 times after completion of the high probability length and the high probability short game, respectively. It is a numerical value. The numerical value “10000” is a number determined for convenience in order to prevent the high-probability gaming state from being changed until the next jackpot is won. The setting of the high probability remaining game count X will be described later in the game state setting process (see FIG. 27).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether the high probability remaining game count X is “0” (step S2109). If the high probability game remaining count X is “0” (step S2109: Yes), the high probability game flag is turned OFF. (Step S2110). When the high probability game remaining number X is not “0” (step S2109: No), the process proceeds to step S2111.

  In step S2111, it is determined whether or not the stopped special symbol is a big hit (step S2111). If it is not a big hit (step S2111: No), it is determined whether or not the stopped special symbol is a big hit (step S2111). Step S2112). If the stopped special symbol is not a small hit (step S2112: No), the process is terminated. When the stopped special symbol is a small hit (step S2112: Yes), the small hit game flag is turned ON (step S2113), and the winning opening is started (step S2114). Thereafter, an opening command is set in the RAM 213 (step S2115), and the process ends.

  If the stopped special symbol is a jackpot symbol in step S2111 (step S2111: Yes), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 109 in one round is a long hit (step S2116). When it is a long hit (step S2116: Yes), the long hit game flag is turned ON (step S2117), and the process proceeds to step S2119.

  When it is not long hit (step S2116: No), the short hit game flag is turned ON (step S2118), and the process proceeds to step S2119. In step S2119, the time-saving game counter J or the high probability game remaining count X is set to “0” (step S2119). Thereafter, the short-time game flag or the high-probability game flag is turned OFF (step S2120), and the process proceeds to step S2114.

  Note that, according to the above-described processing, when both the short-time game flag and the high-probability game flag are ON, the probability variation gaming state is set, the short-time game flag is ON, and the high-probability game flag is OFF. When you are in the short-time gaming state. Further, when the short-time game flag is OFF and the high-probability game flag is ON, the latent-probability game state is set. When both the short-time game flag and the highly probable game flag are OFF, the normal game state is set.

(Large winnings processing)
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the special prize opening process. In the big prize opening process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether or not the winning game flag is set to ON (step S2201). If the winning game flag is OFF (step S2201: No), the main control unit 201 ends the big prize opening process as it is.

  If the winning game flag is ON (step S2201: Yes), the main control unit 201 determines whether the opening is in progress (step S2202). Specifically, in step S2202, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening operation pattern selected when the winning game flag is set to ON is being opened.

  If it is during opening (step S2202: Yes), the main control unit 201 performs an opening process (step S2203), and proceeds to step S2204. The details of the opening process will be described later with reference to FIG. If it is not during opening (step S2202: No), it will transfer to step S2204 as it is.

  Next, the main control unit 201 determines whether or not the special winning opening 109 is being opened (step S2204). If the special winning opening 109 is being opened (step S2204: Yes), the opening process is performed (step S2205), and the process proceeds to step S2206. The processing contents of the opening process will be described later with reference to FIG. If not open (step S2204: No), the process proceeds to step S2206.

  Next, the main control unit 201 determines whether it is during the interval (step S2206). If it is during the interval (step S2206: Yes), the interval process is performed (step S2207), and the process proceeds to step S2208. The processing contents of the interval processing will be described later with reference to FIG. If not in the interval (step S2206: No), the process proceeds to step S2208 as it is.

  Next, the main control unit 201 determines whether ending is in progress (step S2208). If it is during ending (step S2208: Yes), an ending process is performed (step S2209), and the big prize opening process is terminated. The processing contents of the ending process will be described later with reference to FIG. If it is not in the ending (step S2208: No), the special winning a prize mouth process is finished as it is.

(Opening process)
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the contents of the opening process. In the opening process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether, for example, 10 seconds has elapsed as a predetermined opening period (step S2301). If 10 seconds have not passed as the opening period (step S2301: No), the opening process is terminated as it is.

  If 10 seconds have elapsed as the opening period (step S2301: Yes), the main control unit 201 ends the opening (step S2302), sets the count value R of the round number counter to 1 (step S2303), A round progress command is set in the RAM 213 (step S2304), and the opening of the first prize winning hole 109 is started (step S2305), and the opening process ends. Here, the round progress command includes information indicating the value (count number of rounds) of the count value R of the round number counter. The round progress command set in step S2304 is output to the effect control unit 203 when the output process in step S1606 in FIG. 16 is executed.

(Processing during opening)
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the releasing process. In the open process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether the open period has elapsed (step S2401). If the opening period has not elapsed (step S2401: No), the main control unit 201 has won a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls in the big winning opening 109 during the opening of the big winning opening 109 this time. Is determined (step S2402). If there is no prescribed number of winnings (step S2402: No), the open process is terminated as it is.

  When the opening period has elapsed (step S2401: Yes), or when a prescribed number of winnings has been made (step S2402: Yes), the main control unit 201 closes the big winning opening 109 (step S2403). Then, it is determined whether or not the count value R of the round number counter matches Rmax of the selected special winning opening operation pattern (step S2404). For example, in this case, Rmax is set to “15” in the large winning opening operation pattern selected at the time of winning per high-accuracy length and low-accuracy length. Rmax is set to “2” in the large winning opening operation pattern selected at the time of winning with high accuracy. In the special winning opening operation pattern selected at the time of winning the small win, Rmax is set to “1”.

  If the count value R of the round number counter does not coincide with Rmax (step S2404: No), the main control unit 201 starts an interval (step S2405) and ends the releasing process. If the count value R of the round number counter matches Rmax (step S2404: Yes), the main control unit 201 determines that the final round has been released and starts ending (step S2406).

  When the ending is started, the main control unit 201 sets an ending command in the RAM 213 (step S2407) and ends the releasing process. This ending command includes information indicating the ending period of the big hit / small hit this time. The ending command is transmitted to the production control unit 203a and the like when the output process shown in step S1606 in FIG. 16 is executed.

  If the ending period has elapsed (step S2601: Yes), the main control unit 201 ends the ending (step S2602), and resets the count value R of the round number counter to “0” (step S2603). Then, a game state setting process (see FIG. 27) for setting the game state after the current winning game is performed (step S2604), the winning game flag is set to OFF (step S2605), and the ending process is ended.

(Game state setting process)
FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the game state setting process. In the game state setting process, the main control unit 201 first determines whether the lottery result of the big hit lottery with respect to the current variation is a small hit (step S2701).

  If it is a small hit (step S2701: Yes), the main control unit 201 ends the gaming state setting process as it is. If it is not a small hit (step S2701: No), the main control unit 201 determines whether the lottery result of the big hit lottery with respect to the current variation is a low probability hit (step S2702). If it is per low probable length (step S2702: Yes), the main control unit 201 sets the short-time game flag to ON (step S2703), sets the short-time game counter J to “100” (step S2704), and the game The state setting process ends.

  If it is not per low probability length (step S2702: No), the main control unit 201 determines whether the lottery result of the big hit lottery for the current variation is per high probability length (step S2705). If it is per high-accuracy length (step S2705: Yes), the main control unit 201 sets the short-time game flag to ON (step S2706), and sets the short-time game counter J to “10000” (step S2707). Thereafter, the high probability game flag is set to ON (step S2708), the high probability game counter X is set to “10000” (step S2709), and the game state setting process is terminated.

  If it is not per high-accuracy length (step S2705: No), for example, the main control unit 201 determines that the winning per high-accuracy is won, and proceeds to step S2708 to set the high-accuracy game flag to ON. “10000” is set in the high-accuracy game counter X, and the game state setting process is terminated.

If the opening image flag is ON (step S3806: YES), it is determined whether or not 5 seconds have passed since the opening start time (step S3807). If 5 seconds have not elapsed (step S3807: NO), the process proceeds to step S3810.

  In step S3807, when 5 seconds have elapsed from the opening start time (step S3807: Yes), a right-hand notification image that prompts the player to make a right-hand hit during the big hit game is stored (step S3808), and the opening image flag is set. It is turned off (step S3809). Thus, the right-handed notification image is displayed 5 seconds after the opening period starts.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the re-lottery flag is ON (step S3810). If the re-lottery flag is OFF (step S3810: No), the process proceeds to step S3815. If the re-lottery flag is ON (step S3810: Yes), it is determined whether 60 seconds have elapsed since the start of the change (step S3811). If 60 seconds have not elapsed (step S3811: No), step The process proceeds to S3815.

  If 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the change (step S3811: Yes), a re-lottery effect image is stored (step S3812), an accessory drive-corresponding image is stored (step S3813), and the re-lottery flag is turned OFF. (Step S3814). The re-lottery effect image is an image in which the decorative symbol variation display is started again and the symbol indicating the winning jackpot type is temporarily stopped and displayed. The symbol indicating the type of winning jackpot is, for example, an image in which even numbered decorative symbols are arranged per low-accuracy length, and an image in which odd-numbered decorative symbols are arranged per high-accuracy length. Also, the type of jackpot may be indicated by the color.

  As described above, the accessory-driven re-lottery effect is configured to start the re-lottery effect 60 seconds after the start of fluctuation. In addition, the effect from the start of the change in the accessory-driven re-lottery effect to 60 seconds is the same as the non-drive effect.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the decorative symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (step S3815). If the decorative symbol is not being displayed (step S3815: No), the process proceeds to step S3818. When the variable display is being performed (step S3815: Yes), it is determined using the decorative symbol display time table St whether or not the variable display time corresponding to the variable effect pattern has elapsed (step S3816).

  If the variable display time corresponding to the variable effect pattern has not elapsed (step S3816: NO), the process proceeds to step S3818. If the variable display time corresponding to the variable effect pattern has elapsed (step S3816: YES), the temporarily stopped image of the decorative design is stored (step S3817), and the process proceeds to step S3818.

  In step S3818, it is determined whether or not the effective image flag is ON (step S3818). If the effective image flag is OFF (step S3818: No), the image flag processing is terminated. If the valid image flag is ON (step S3818: YES), it is determined whether or not the valid period is to end (step S3819). Determining whether or not to end the effective period is to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In step S3819, when the valid period is not terminated (step S3819: No), the image flag process is terminated as it is. When the effective period ends (step S3819: Yes), the effective image flag is turned OFF (step S3820), the storage of the operation instruction image is ended (step S3821), and the image flag process is ended.

(Processing performed by the lamp controller)
Next, the processing performed by the lamp control unit 203b will be described in detail. Each process performed by the lamp control unit 203b described below is performed, for example, when the CPU 241 of the lamp control unit 203b executes a program stored in the ROM 242.

(Ramp timer interrupt processing)
FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the contents of the lamp timer interrupt process. The lamp control unit 203b performs a predetermined main lamp control process (not shown) continuously during activation, and the lamp timer interrupt process shown in FIG. For example, an interrupt is executed at 4 ms).

  In the lamp timer interrupt process, the lamp control unit 203b performs a command reception lamp process for performing control according to the command received from the effect supervision unit 202a (step S3901). Details of the command reception lamp process will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, lamp flag processing, which is control related to the flag turned on in the command reception lamp processing, is performed (step S3902). Details of the lamp flag process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 44-1 and 44-2.

  Then, control signal processing, which is control related to output of a control signal for the movable movable article 130 being driven, is performed (step S3903), and the processing is ended as it is. Details of the control signal processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Command reception lamp processing)
FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the command reception lamp processing. In the command reception lamp process, the lamp control unit 203b first determines whether or not an effect start command has been received from the effect control unit 202a (step S4001), and if no effect start command has been received (step S4001: No). ), The process proceeds to step S4003.

  In step S4001, when an effect start command is received from the effect control unit 202a (step S4001: Yes), an effect start ramp process that is control related to driving of the movable accessory 130 in the variable effect is performed (step S4002). Details of the effect start lamp process will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not an effect button command has been received from the effect control unit 202a (step S4003).

  In step S4003, when the effect button command is not received (step S4003: No), the process proceeds to step S4007. When the effect button command is received (step S4003: Yes), it is determined whether or not the effective lamp flag is ON (step S4004). That the effective lamp flag is ON indicates that it is an effective period for accepting an operation on the effect button 122 from the player.

  When the effective lamp flag is OFF (step S4004: No), the process proceeds to step S4007. When the effective lamp flag is ON (step S4004: Yes), the effective lamp flag is turned OFF (step S4005), and a combination advancing process for moving the movable combination 130 from the retracted position to the advanced position is performed (step S4006). Details of the accessory advance processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not an opening effect start command has been received from the effect control unit 202a (step S4007). If the opening effect start command has not been received (step S4007: No), the command reception lamp process is terminated. . When the opening effect start command is received (step S4007: Yes), the opening lamp process for controlling the movable accessory 130 is performed in the opening effect (step S4008), and the command reception lamp process is terminated as it is. Details of the opening ramp process will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Production start lamp processing)
FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the contents of the effect start lamp process. In the effect start lamp process, the lamp control unit 203b first determines whether the variation effect pattern included in the received effect start command is the variation effect pattern Ep4 or Ep5, that is, when an operation from the player is accepted during the effective period. It is determined whether or not it is a fluctuating effect that drives the movable accessory 130 (step S4101).

  If it is not the variation effect pattern Ep4 or Ep5 (step S4101: No), the process proceeds to step S4104. If it is the variation effect pattern Ep4 or Ep5 (step S4101: Yes), the measurement of the elapsed time from the variation start time is started (step S4102), and the measuring lamp flag is turned ON (step S4103). The fact that the measuring lamp flag is ON indicates that the elapsed time from the fluctuation start time is being measured.

  After that, it is determined whether or not the variation effect pattern included in the received effect start command is the variation effect pattern Ep6 (step S4104). If it is not the variation effect pattern Ep6 (step S4104: No), the process proceeds to step S4107. When it is the variation effect pattern Ep6 (step S4104: Yes), the measurement of the elapsed time after starting the variation is started (step S4105), and the re-lottery lamp flag is turned ON (step S4106). That the re-lottery lamp flag is ON indicates that a re-lottery effect is executed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the time saving final save flag is ON (step S4107). The short-time final retraction flag is ON indicates that the movable accessory 130 located at the advance position is displaced to the retreat position in the final change in the gaming state with the electric chew support function. When the time saving final retreat flag is OFF (step S4107: No), the effect start ramp process is ended as it is.

  In step S4107, when the time saving final save flag is ON (step S4107: Yes), information indicating that the winning effect is received when resetting the number of fluctuations of the electric Chu support function in the received effect start command, that is, It is determined whether or not information indicating that winning per winning is included (step S4108). If the effect start command does not include information indicating that the long win is won (step S4108: NO), step S4109 is performed.

  In step S4109, a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the remaining short fluctuation number P indicating the number of fluctuations until the end of the provision of the electric-chu support function in the short-time gaming state or the probability variation gaming state is set as a new remaining short-time fluctuation number P (Step S4109). Then, it is determined whether or not the remaining short time fluctuation count P is “0” (step S4110).

  When the remaining short fluctuation count P is not “0” (step S4110: No), the effect start ramp process is ended as it is. When the remaining short fluctuation count P is “0” (step S4110: Yes), output of the control signal Ps3 for rotating (reversing) the driven gear 163 counterclockwise with respect to the movable accessory 130 is started (step S4111). ). As a result, the movable accessory 130 is displaced from the advanced position toward the retracted position. Then, the time saving final retraction flag is turned OFF (step S4112), and the effect start lamp processing is ended as it is.

  By performing the processes of steps S4107 to S4111, when performing an effect of driving the movable accessory 130 from the retracted position to the advanced position during the big hit (long hit) transition to the gaming state with the electric chew support function, In the variation in which the provision of the electric Chu support function ends, the movable accessory 130 is retracted from the advanced position to the retracted position.

  Also, in step S4108, if information indicating that winning per winning is included in the effect start command (step S4108: Yes), it is determined whether or not the winning length is high (step S4113). If it is per high-accuracy length (step S4113: Yes), “10000” is set to the remaining short fluctuation count P (step S4114), and the effect start ramp process is terminated.

  If it is not per high-accuracy length (step S4113: No), “100” is set to the remaining short fluctuation count P (step S4115), and the effect start ramp process is terminated. As described above, when the winning combination is won in the gaming state with the electric chew support function in which the movable accessory 130 is located at the advance position, the remaining short fluctuation count P is set again.

(Functional entry process)
FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing the processing content of the accessory advance processing. In the accessory advancing process, the lamp control unit 203b first starts outputting a control signal Ps1 for rotating the driven gear 163 clockwise (forward rotation) (step S4201). As described above, when an operation on the effect button 122 is received during the effective period, the movable accessory 130 is displaced from the retracted position toward the advanced position.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the current change is a win (step S4202), and if it is a win (step S4202: Yes), whether or not it is a shift to the gaming state with the electric chew support function, That is, it is determined whether or not it is a long hit (step S4203). If it is a long hit (step S4203: YES), the time saving final save flag is turned ON (step S4204).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the winning win is per high-accuracy length (step S4205). If the winning hit is per high-accuracy length (step S4205: Yes), “10000” is set in the remaining short time fluctuation count P ( In step S4206), the accessory advance process is terminated as it is. If it is not per high-accuracy length (step S4205: No), “100” is set to the remaining short time variation number P (step S4207), and the accessory advance processing is terminated as it is.

  If it is not long hit in step S4203, that is, if it is short hit or small hit (step S4203: No), the opening evacuation flag is turned ON (step S4208), and the accessory advance processing is ended as it is. The opening retreat flag being ON indicates that the movable accessory 130 positioned at the advance position is displaced to the retreat position when the opening is entered.

  In step S4202, if the current change is not a hit, that is, if it is a loss change (step S4202: No), the save flag during change is set to ON (step S4209), and the accessory advance processing is terminated as it is. . The fact that the change retreat flag is ON indicates that the movable accessory 130 located at the advance position is displaced to the retreat position during the current change. Specifically, it is a variation that produces an accessory driving loss effect, and the movable accessory 130 is displaced to the retracted position during the temporary stop period of the decorative symbol.

(Opening lamp processing)
FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the contents of the opening ramp process. In the opening lamp process, the lamp control unit 203b first determines whether or not the opening retreat flag is ON (step S4301). If the opening retreat flag is OFF (step S4301: No), the opening ramp process is terminated as it is.

  In step S4301, when the opening retreat flag is ON (step S4301: Yes), the control signal Ps3 is output to the movable accessory 130 to start moving the movable accessory 130 from the advance position toward the retract position. The displacement is started (step S4302). Then, the opening retreat flag is turned OFF (step S4303), and the opening ramp process is ended as it is.

  As described above, when the effect of driving the movable combination 130 to the advanced position is performed in the short fluctuation, the opening period is started and the movable combination 130 is retracted from the advanced position to the retracted position.

(Ramp flag processing)
FIGS. 44A and 44B are flowcharts showing the processing contents of the lamp flag processing. In the lamp flag process, the lamp controller 203b first determines whether or not the measuring lamp flag is ON (step S4401). If the measuring lamp flag is OFF (step S4401: NO), step S4405 is performed. Migrate to

  In step S4401, when the measuring lamp flag is ON (step S4401: Yes), it is determined whether 15 seconds have elapsed from the start of the change (step S4402). If 15 seconds has not elapsed (step S4402: NO), the process proceeds to step S4405.

  In step S4402, when 15 seconds have elapsed (step S4402: YES), the measuring lamp flag is turned OFF (step S4403), and the effective lamp flag is turned ON (step S4404). In this way, the effective period starts from the time when 15 seconds have elapsed from the start of fluctuation.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the effective lamp flag is ON (step S4405). If the effective lamp flag is OFF (step S4405: No), the process proceeds to step S4408. If the valid lamp flag is ON (step S4405: Yes), it is determined whether or not the valid period is to end (step S4406). Determining whether or not to end the effective period is to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed.

  If the valid period has not expired (step S4406: NO), the process proceeds to step S4408. When the effective period ends (step S4406: Yes), the effective lamp flag is turned OFF (step S4407), and it is determined whether or not the variable saving flag is ON (step S4408).

  In step S4408, when the variable saving flag is OFF (step S4408: No), the process proceeds to step S4412. When the change save flag is ON (step S4408: Yes), it is determined whether 60 seconds have passed since the change start time (step S4409). When 60 seconds have not elapsed (step S4409: No), the process proceeds to step S4412.

  When 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the change (step S4409: Yes), the control signal Ps3 is started to be output to the movable accessory 130, whereby the movable accessory 130 is moved from the advanced position toward the retracted position. The driving is started (step S4410), and the changing save flag is turned OFF (step S4411). In this way, when the accessory driving loss effect is performed, the movable accessory 130 is retracted to the retracted position after 60 seconds have elapsed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the re-lottery lamp flag is ON (step S4412). If the re-lottery lamp flag is OFF (step S4412: No), the lamp flag process is ended as it is. If the re-lottery lamp flag is ON (step S4412: Yes), it is determined whether or not 60 seconds have elapsed since the start of the change (step S4413). If 60 seconds have not elapsed (step S4413: NO), the lamp flag process is terminated as it is.

  When 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the change (step S4413: Yes), the accessory advance process shown in FIG. 42 is performed (step S4414), the re-lottery lamp flag is turned OFF (step S4415), and the lamp flag process is performed as it is. finish. Thus, in the present embodiment, in the accessory driving re-lottery effect, the movable accessory 130 moves from the retracted position to the advanced position when 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the fluctuation. Thereby, the interest property in the re-lottery effect is improved.

(Control signal processing)
FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the control signal processing. In the control signal processing, the lamp control unit 203b first determines whether or not the control signal Ps1 is being output to the movable accessory 130 (step S4501), and when the control signal Ps1 is not being output (step S4501). : No), the process proceeds to step S4505.

  In step S4501, when the control signal Ps1 is being output (step S4501: Yes), it is determined whether or not the second sensor S2 is ON (step S4502). When 2nd sensor S2 is OFF (step S4502: No), it transfers to step S4505.

  In step S4502, if the second sensor S2 is ON (step S4502: Yes), the output of the control signal Ps1 is ended (step S4503), and the control signal Ps2 having the specified number of pulses P1 for causing the driven gear 163 to rotate forward is output. (Step S4504), the process proceeds to step S4505. As a result, the movable accessory 130 is positioned at the advanced position.

  In step S4505, it is determined whether or not the control signal Ps3 is being output to the movable accessory 130 (step S4505). If the control signal Ps3 is not being output (step S4505: No), the control signal processing is performed as it is. finish.

  In step S4505, when the control signal Ps3 is being output (step S4505: Yes), it is determined whether or not the first sensor S1 is ON (step S4506). If the first sensor S1 is OFF (step S4506: No), the control signal processing is terminated as it is.

  In step S4506, when the first sensor S1 is ON (step S4506: Yes), the output of the control signal Ps3 is terminated (step S4507), and the control signal Ps4 having the specified number of pulses P2 for reversing the driven gear 163 is output. (Step S4508), the control signal processing is terminated as it is. As a result, the movable accessory 130 is positioned at the retracted position.

(An example of display of the image display unit at every timing and driving of the movable accessory)
Next, an example of display on the image display unit 104 and driving of the movable accessory 130 at each timing according to the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 46-1 to 46-3 are explanatory diagrams (part 1) illustrating an example of display on the image display unit and driving of the movable accessory at each timing according to the present embodiment.

  The explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. 46-1 to 46-3 show an example of the display of the image display unit 104 and the driving of the movable accessory 130 when executing the accessory driving re-lottery effect. In the explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. 46-1 to 46-3, the illustration and description regarding the parts other than the decorative member 180 in the movable accessory 130 are omitted.

  In FIGS. 46-1 to 46-3, first, the variation display of the decorative symbol 4601 is started at the timing t1, and the temporary stop display is performed with the symbol indicating the big hit at the timing t2 during the variation. Then, the movable accessory 130 is driven from the retracted position to the advanced position at timing t3 during temporary stop display.

  Then, the variable display is resumed at the subsequent timing t4, and the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed at the timing t5 with the symbol indicating the probability variation big hit. At a timing t6, the decorative design is fixedly displayed. Here, in the case of a short hit, the opening period starts at the timing t7 when the confirmation display ends, and the movable accessory 130 is driven in the direction of the retracted position. Then, a right-handed notification image is displayed on the image display unit 104 at timing t8 after the movable accessory 130 is retracted to the retracted position.

  In the case of long hit, a big hit game is played at timing t9 after timing t6, and then the movable accessory 130 is driven in the direction of the retracted position at timing t10, which is the final change in the gaming state with the electric support function. Let

  As described above, in this embodiment, when executing the accessory movable re-lottery effect, the movable accessory 130 moved from the retracted position to the advanced position during the temporary stop display of the decorative symbol in the re-lottery effect is displayed. It is configured to move to the retracted position after the symbol confirmation display is completed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from foreseeing the continuation of the redrawing effect, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling excessive expectation or anxiety.

  In addition, during the decorative symbol variation display, it is possible to perform the effect of being positioned at the advance position, and it is possible to prevent the movable accessory 130 from overlapping the decorative symbol being confirmed. Further, it is possible to prevent the movable accessory 130 from overlapping the right-handed notification image.

  FIG. 47 is an explanatory diagram (part 2) illustrating an example of display on the image display unit and driving of the movable accessory at each timing according to the present embodiment. The explanatory view shown in FIG. 47 shows an example of display of the image display unit 104 and driving of the movable accessory 130 for each timing in the gaming state with the electric chew support function in which the movable accessory 130 is located at the advance position. Yes. Moreover, the explanatory view shown in FIG. 47 shows an example when an effect capable of handling an accessory is performed. In the explanatory diagram shown in FIG. 47, illustrations and descriptions relating to parts other than the decorative member 180 and the lamp 181 in the movable accessory 130 are omitted.

  In FIG. 47, first, the display of variation of the decorative symbol 4601 is started at timing t11 in the gaming state with the electric chew support function in which the movable accessory 130 is located at the advance position. Then, at the timing t12 during the fluctuation, an effect capable of handling an accessory is performed. At this time, it is assumed that an accessory-corresponding image 4701 that can correspond to the movable accessory 130 is displayed on the image display unit 104 and the lamp 181 is turned on, thereby performing an accessory-capable effect. In the present embodiment, an image showing the sea is displayed as the accessory-capable image 4701 corresponding to the movable accessory 130 imitating a wave.

  At timing t13, the decorative symbol variation display is terminated, and the next variation is performed. Thereby, even in a gaming state with an electric chew support function with a short variation time, a variation effect using the movable accessory 130 can be performed, and interest can be improved.

(Timing chart)
Next, a timing chart for executing the effect driving per effect and the accessory driving loss effect in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 48 is a timing chart when executing an effect driving per effect and an accessory driving loss effect in the present embodiment.

  A timing chart 4800 shown in FIG. 48 shows the driving timing of the movable accessory 130 when an operation from the player is received during the effective period in the effect driving per effect and the accessory driving loss effect. In the effect driving effect and the effect driving loss effect, the start of the effective period and the start of the temporary stop period for displaying the temporary stop display of the decorative symbols are at the same timing.

  As shown in the figure, when an operation from the player is received during the effective period in the effect driving per effect and the accessory driving loss effect, the movable accessory 130 is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position. In the effect for driving an accessory, a temporary stop display is started 57 seconds after the start of change, and a final display is displayed 60 seconds after the start of change. Then, one second after the confirmation display is started, the confirmation display ends, and the movable accessory 130 is moved from the advanced position to the retracted position.

  In the accessory driving loss effect, the temporary stop display is started 57 seconds after the start of the change, and the movement of the movable accessory 130 to the retreat position is started 60 seconds after the start of the change. And the movement of the movable accessory 130 is complete | finished, and a fixed display is performed 63 seconds after a fluctuation | variation start.

  As described above, in the accessory driving loss effect, the movable accessory 130 is retracted from the advanced position to the retracted position after performing a temporary stop period of the same length as the temporary stop period in the effect driving effect. Thereby, the temporary stop symbol can be surely shown to the player, and the movable accessory 130 can be retracted from the advanced position to the retracted position without overlapping the decorative symbol being confirmed.

  In addition, the timing at which the movable accessory 130 is retracted from the advance position to the retracted position in the accessory driving loss production is the timing when 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, but is the same length as the temporary stop period in the effect driving effect. This is not limited to this as long as it is within the temporary stop period and does not overlap the decorative symbol that the movable accessory 130 is confirmed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the movable accessory 130 is driven from the retracted position to the advanced position due to the big hit variation, the movable accessory 130 is moved from the advanced position to the retracted position after the decorative symbol confirmation display is completed. It was set as the structure driven to. As a result, the movable accessory 130 can be returned to the retracted position without overlapping with the decorative symbol that is being confirmed, and the accessory effect is performed to fix the movable accessory 130 to the advanced position until the end of the variation of the symbol. The player can fully see the symbol being confirmed.

  At that time, the timing for retracting the movable accessory 130 from the advance position to the retracted position is set at the start of the opening period and the final variation of the gaming state with the electric support function, but is not limited to this. It may be during a jackpot game including a period or a game state with an electric Chu support function.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the movable accessory 130 is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position during the fluctuation, if it is a win, it is configured to move to the retracted position after the display of the decoration symbol confirmation display is completed. In some cases, it is configured to move to the retracted position during the temporary stop display of the decorative symbol. As a result, the movable accessory 130 can be returned to the retracted position without overlapping with the decorative symbol being confirmed and displayed, regardless of whether it is a win or a miss.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the temporary stop display of the decorative symbol is started from the same timing in the effect driving loss effect and the effect driving effect, and the effect driving loss effect is longer than the effect driving effect. The time and temporary stop display are used. In the accessory driving loss effect, the movable accessory 130 is retracted from the advanced position to the retracted position during a temporary stop display time longer than the effect driving per effect.

  As a result, the actor-driven lost effect and the actor-per-actor-performing effect are shown in a similar manner to give the player a sense of expectation until the end of the change, and without moving the fixed symbol and the next change display, It can be moved to the retracted position. Further, the temporary stop display of the decorative design can be surely shown to the player.

  In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, the movable accessory 130 is advanced from the retracted position to the advanced position before shifting to the gaming state with the electric chew support function. It was set as the structure made to maintain. Thereby, it is possible to produce an effect using the movable accessory 130 regardless of the selected variation time, and the movable accessory 130 can be used effectively.

  In the present embodiment, the movable accessory 130 is maintained in the advanced position in the gaming state with the electric chew support function in which the variation time with the highest selected ratio is shorter than the normal gaming state. Thereby, even in a gaming state in which a short variation time can be easily selected, a variation effect using the movable combination 130 can be performed, and the movable combination 130 can be used effectively.

  At this time, the movable accessory 130 is advanced from the retracted position to the advanced position during the change that is won when the game state with the electric support function is entered. However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as the movable accessory 130 is positioned at the advanced position before the operation. For example, the movable accessory 130 may be positioned at the advance position during the jackpot including the opening period and the ending period.

  Moreover, although it was set as the structure which performs the effect which can respond | correspond to the accessory which displays the image of the sea on an image display part, it is an effect which uses the movable accessory 130 located in the advance position, and an effect which does not cover a some fluctuation | variation If so, it is not limited to this. For example, a small amount of movable accessory 130 may be displaced to the extent that it is positioned at the advance position at the end of the change.

  In the present embodiment, the variation time longer than the movement time for moving the movable accessory 130 from the advanced position to the retracted position in the last variation in the gaming state with the electric chew support function is selected, and the movable combination is selected. The object 130 is driven from the advanced position to the retracted position. As a result, in the gaming state with the electric chew support function, an effect using the movable accessory 130 can be performed, and in the normal gaming state, an effect of moving the movable accessory 130 from the retracted position to the advanced position can be performed without a sense of incongruity. .

  In the present embodiment, the movable accessory 130 is moved from the advanced position to the retracted position in the final change of the gaming state with the electric chew support function. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a variation pattern having a variation time longer than the required time for moving from the advance position to the retract position is selected, the structure may be configured to move from the advance position to the retract position. In that case, even in the gaming state with the electric chew support function, it is possible to produce an effect of moving the movable accessory 130 from the retracted position to the advanced position, and to improve interest.

  In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, when the re-lottery effect is performed by the variation in which the movable accessory 130 is driven from the retracted position to the advanced position, the movable accessory 130 is advanced after the re-lottery effect is completed.
