  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment is a game in which a game ball is fired (bulleted) into an internal game area 1 a, and a glass in the upper half of the front half thereof. A game board 1 constituting a game area 1a is installed on the back side of the board.

  The game board 1 includes a flat game board body 1b (made of wood or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and has a game area 1a surrounded by guide rails 2 on the front surface of the game board body 1b. ing. Further, front structural members 3, 3,... Are attached to the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is launched from a launching device into a game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2 to play a game.

  At the approximate center of the game area 1a, a center case 20 is attached that forms a window 22 serving as a display area for the decorative special figure variation display game. Behind the window 22 formed in the center case 20 is arranged a display device 43 as a variable display device capable of executing a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner. The display device 43 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged so that a display portion 43 a whose display contents can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window portion 22 of the center case 20. . Note that the display device 43 is not limited to a device including a liquid crystal display, and may include a display such as an EL or a CRT.

  In addition, a normal start gate 4 is provided in the game area 1a, and when the game ball passes the general start gate 4, a normal variation display game is executed. Further, in the game area 1a, there are provided a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 forming a second start winning area. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening 13, the first special figure variation display game is executed as an auxiliary game, and when the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, the second game is played as an auxiliary game. A special figure variation display game is executed.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general start gate 4 is provided in the general start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the normal figure start memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure start is started. One memory is stored. The start memory of the normal map display game is displayed on the general memory display 15 (the first general memory display 15a and the second general memory display 15b) having LEDs. .

  The general-purpose (ordinary symbol) variation display game is executed by the general-purpose display 5 constituting a state display 17 described later. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43. In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, the opening and closing members 7a and 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). The Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is easy to start the second special figure variation display game.

  A first special figure start opening SW13d (shown in FIG. 3) is provided inside the first start winning opening 13, and based on the detection of the game ball by the first special figure start opening SW13d, the first special figure start opening SW13d is provided. A start right to start a special figure variation display game is generated. Further, a second special figure starting port SW7d (shown in FIG. 3) is provided in the inside of the normal variation winning device 7, and based on the detection of the game ball by the second special figure starting port SW7d, as an auxiliary game The right to start the second special figure variable display game is generated. The right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as the first start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The first start memory is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18. The start right to start the second special figure variation display game is stored as the second start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The second start-up memory is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19.

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a, and is disposed below the first start winning opening 13, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a are normally spaced at an interval of about the diameter of a game ball. In the closed state, i.e., the game ball is difficult to win (a disadvantageous state for the player), but the result of the usual variable display game is in a predetermined stop display mode. The solenoid (general power SOL 7b, shown in FIG. 3) is changed to an easy-to-win state (a state advantageous to the player) where the game ball can easily flow into the normal variation winning device 7 by opening in a reverse “C” shape. It is supposed to be.

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game as the auxiliary game are executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 constituting the state display 17 described later. After a plurality of identification information is variably displayed, a predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to each special figure fluctuation display game is executed. ing. If the display form of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result form (for example, “7”) as a result of the special figure variation display game, a big hit is obtained. Special gaming state (so-called big hit state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but a special figure change display game is displayed independently. In addition, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed independently. In addition, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43.

  Then, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the first start prize opening When the game ball wins in 13, the first start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the first start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure is immediately based on the first start memory. The variable display game is started, and at this time, the first start memory number is decremented by one. Further, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the normal fluctuation winning device 7 When the game ball wins, the second start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and the second special figure change is immediately made based on the second start memory. The display game is started, and at this time, the second start memory number is decremented by one.

  On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display. If a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 when the game is not finished or in a special game state, if the first start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four) The first start memory number is incremented by 1, and one first start memory is stored. Similarly, in this case, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, if the second start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four), the second start memory number is incremented by 1 and the second start is started. One memory is stored.

  When the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is ready to start, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display is based on the first start memory or the second start memory. The game starts. At this time, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not executed simultaneously, and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure fluctuation display game. It is like that. That is, when there is a first start memory and a second start memory, and when the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  In addition, the game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display Depending on the result of the game, the special variable winning device 10 for converting from the closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to the open state (a state advantageous to the player) depending on the result of the game, the gaming ball that did not win the winning port An out-hole 11 is provided for collecting the. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 12, 12,.

  The special variable winning device 10 includes a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side tilts toward the front side. By converting the winning opening from the closed state to the opened state, the inflow of game balls into the large winning opening is facilitated, and a predetermined game value (prize ball) is given to the player. The open / close door 10a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (a special winning opening SOL10b, shown in FIG. 3) as a driving device. In addition, a count SW 10c (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered the big prize opening is disposed inside the big prize opening (winning area).

  In addition, in each general winning opening 12 provided in the game area 1a, a winning opening SW 12a (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning opening 12 is disposed. The game balls that are driven into the game area 1a by starting the game are awarded to the general prize opening 12, 12,..., The normal variable prize winning device 7, the first start prize winning port 13, the special variable prize winning device 10, etc. When a prize is awarded to any of the mouths, a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the respective prize mouths are paid out by the payout control device 125 (shown in FIG. 3). The payout control device 125 is controlled under the control of the game control device 30 so that a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  In addition, a state indicator 17 is provided at the upper end portion of the center case 20 to notify the gaming state of the general map variable display game, the first special map variable display game, and the second special map variable display game. . As shown in FIG. 2 (1), the status display 17 includes a general map display 5 for displaying a general map change display game, and a first special map display 8 for displaying a first special map change display game.

Second special symbol memory indicator 19 (first special symbol two memory indicator 19a, second special symbol two memory indicator 9b, the third special symbol 2 memory display 19c, the fourth special symbol 2 memory display 19d), and whether the results of the first special symbol variation display game and the second special symbol variation display game are 2R big hit or 15R big hit Game state for notifying the game state of the round number display unit 25 (first round number display unit 25a, second round number display unit 25b), the first special figure variation display game, and the second special figure variation display game And a display 26 (a first game status indicator 26a, a second game status indicator 26b, and a third game status indicator 26c). It should be noted that the common figure memory display 15, the universal figure display 5, the first special figure display 8, the second special figure display 9, the first special figure storage display 18, the second special figure storage display 19, and the round The number indicator 25 and the game state indicator 26 are integrally provided as a segment LED.

  The universal map display 5 is an LED for displaying a universal map change display game. As shown in FIG. 2 (2), when the general map display 5 is blinking, the general map change display game is in a variable display. If the map display 5 is lit, the result of the map change display game is a win, and if the map display 5 is off, the map change display game This indicates that the result is out of place.

  The normal map memory display 15 (the first general map memory display 15a, the second general map memory display 15b) is an LED for displaying the number of unprocessed times of the normal map variable display game, and is shown in FIG. 2 (3). As described above, when the first common map memory display 15a and the second general map memory display 15b are both turned off, it indicates that the number of unprocessed times of the normal map variable display game is “0”. When the figure memory display 15a is turned on and the second map memory display 15b is turned off, it indicates that the number of unprocessed times in the map fluctuation display game is “1”, and the first map memory display 15a is displayed. When the second map memory display 15b is lit, it indicates that the unprocessed number of times of the normal map display game is “2”, the first map memory display 15a blinks and the second map memory display 15b flashes. When the figure memory display 15b is lit, the number of unprocessed times of the normal map display game is “3”. When both the first map memory display 15a and the second map memory display 15b are blinking, it indicates that the number of unprocessed times of the map variation display game is “4”. .

  The round number display 25 is an LED that displays whether the game result in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is determined as 2R big hit or 16R big hit, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, when the first round number display 25a is turned on and the second round number display 25b is turned off, the game result of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is 2R big hit When the first round number display 25a is turned off and the second round number display 25b is turned on, the game result of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is 16R. It is a big hit.

The gaming state indicator 26 is an LED for notifying the gaming state of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game, and as shown in FIG. 2 (5), the second gaming state indicator 26b and When both of the third game state indicators 26c are turned off, the normal operation state (normal control state) in which the fluctuation control (fluctuation time) of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is preset. When the second gaming status indicator 26b is lit and the third gaming status indicator 26c is extinguished, it indicates that the operation time is shortened (shortened control status), and the second gaming status indicator When both 26b and the third gaming state indicator 26c are lit, the probability of winning a big hit in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is set higher than the normal probability state where the predetermined probability is High probability Indicates that the (probability change state).
Also, as shown in FIG. 2 (6), when the first game state indicator 26a is lit, it is a big hit in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game (the condition device is operating). When the first game state indicator 26a is turned off, it indicates that the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not in a big hit state (condition device not activated). ing.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (7), when both the second gaming state indicator 26b and the third gaming state indicator 26c are turned off, an error non-notification state is indicated, and the second gaming state indicator 26b is When the light is turned off and the third gaming state indicator 26c is lit, it indicates that an error notification is in progress. Specifically, when the gaming machine is turned on, it is determined to be in an error state when the probability of a big win in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is in a high probability state. The third gaming state indicator 26c is turned on. The state in which the third game state indicator 26c is lit is continuously lit until the high probability state stops.

  In addition, the center case 20 is provided with a decoration unit 24 surrounding the display unit 43a so as to decorate the effect of the variable display game. More specifically, the decoration unit 24 includes an effect operating agent 50 that performs a predetermined effect operation based on a variable display game, and an auxiliary effect agent 51 that performs an auxiliary effect in the predetermined effect operation. I have.

  The effect operation accessory 50 is provided in the upper center of the center case 20, and the effect operation accessory 50 covers the front surface of the display unit 43a by the driving force of the accessory drive motor 42 (shown in FIG. 3). It is designed to move downward.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 (game control device 30) of the present embodiment can generate a short-time operation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. ing. At this time, the short operation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-mentioned general-purpose variable display game is controlled to be shorter than the long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Control is performed so that the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is opened is substantially increased. That is, the normal variation winning device 7 functions as a winning facilitating means capable of converting from a closed state in which a game ball is unacceptable to an open state in which a game ball is easily acceptable. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal-variation display game, the release time is controlled to be longer than the short open time of the normal operation state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 1.8 seconds). Also, in the short-time operation state, the normal variation winning device 7 is opened not more than once but multiple times (for example, two times) instead of once for the result of one hit of the normal variation display game. Further, in the short-time operation state, the probability that the hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than the normal operation state is controlled. That is, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 is increased as compared with the normal operation state, and it becomes easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7 and the start of the second special figure variable display game is facilitated.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can generate a probability variation state (a specific game state, a specific variation display game) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. In this probability variation (probability variation) state (specific game state, specific variation display game), the probability of a hit result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. It should be noted that the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. In addition, the probability variation state and the short-time operation state can be generated independently, and both can be generated at the same time, or only one can be generated.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a game control device 30 as control means for controlling a special figure variation display game performed on the display device 43, and an effect control command from the game control device 30. And an effect control device 40 as a control means for controlling the effect of the special figure variation display game on the display device 43.

  The game control device 30 includes a game one-chip microcomputer 31 including a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM (RWM (Read Write Memory)) 31c, and the like, an input interface (input I / F) 32, and an output interface (output I / F). ) 33, an external communication terminal 34, and the like.

  In the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, the internal CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, and also generates various random numbers such as a jackpot determination random number for each special figure variable display game.

  In addition, when starting each special figure fluctuation display game (decoration special figure fluctuation display game) based on the start winning, the CPU 31a includes the fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game, that is, the fluctuation display time of the identification information. Determine the fluctuation pattern and reach pattern (type of reach action).

  In the RAM 31 c inside the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, an ON signal of a first special figure starting port SW 13 d provided in the first starting winning prize port 13 and a second special figure starting port SW 7 d provided in the normal variation winning prize device 7 is provided. And the like, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like. That is, the winning of the game ball detected by the CPU 31a is stored in the RAM 31c as the start winning.

A game control program and control data are written in the ROM 31b of the game one-chip microcomputer 31, and the occurrence of a big hit in each special figure variation display game is determined in accordance with the various random numbers described above. For this purpose, a jackpot determination value, a variation pattern (first half variation pattern, second half variation pattern), a reach pattern (reach action type) determination value, etc. are stored. Specifically, for example, in the ROM 31b, the latter half fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the game result ("big hit" or "out of game") of the special figure fluctuation display game, and the game result ("big hit" or The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the “loss”) is stored, and one second half variation pattern of the second half variation pattern table and one first variation pattern of the first half variation pattern table A variable time command table related to a variable time command (a continuous notice command, a continuous notice change command, a continuous notice switch command, a continuous notice end command, etc.) configured by a combination is stored.
Of the variation patterns, the first half variation pattern is, for example, the left symbol region and the right symbol in one special symbol variation display game performed in each of the variation symbol display region of the left symbol region, the right symbol region, and the middle symbol region. This means the variation display mode until the symbols in the variation display area stop at the same symbol.The latter half variation pattern is the variation display mode after the symbols in the left symbol region and the right symbol region stop at the same symbol. That means. That is, the fluctuation display area of the left symbol area and the right symbol area stops at the same symbol, and the fluctuation display mode until the state where the middle symbol area is still fluctuating (reach state) is assumed to be the first half fluctuation pattern, the reach state The variation display mode after the occurrence of the occurrence is the second half variation pattern. Of the fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation display mode of the first half fluctuation pattern and the second half fluctuation pattern is, for example, the first half fluctuation pattern until a reach state occurs and the middle symbol area that is fluctuating temporarily stops or low speed fluctuation starts. Further, the design may be changed as appropriate, such as changing the subsequent fluctuation display to the latter half fluctuation pattern.

  Further, the input interface 32 is connected to a first special figure starting port SW13d, a second special figure starting port SW7d, a winning port SW12a,..., A gate SW4a, a count SW10c, a glass frame opening SW146, through a low-pass filter and a buffer gate. A gaming machine frame release SW 121, a ball break SW 122, and the like are connected. The input interface 32 relays various signals input from these and outputs them to the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31. The glass frame opening SW 146 is for detecting that the clear member holding frame is opened, and the gaming machine frame opening SW 121 is for detecting that the front frame is opened. The ball break SW 122 is provided on a chute that guides the game ball supplied from the island facility to the discharge device, and detects that there is no game ball in the chute.

  In addition, various control signals output from the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31 are input to the output interface 33. These control signals are relayed by the output interface 33, and through the output port and driver (not shown), the first special figure display 8, the first special figure storage display 18, the second special figure display 9, 2 special figure memory display 19, universal map display 5, universal figure storage display 15, general electric power SOL7b, big prize opening SOL10b, external terminal board 16 connected to a management device outside the gaming machine, payout control device 125, It is output to the production control device 40.

  The effect control device 40 includes an arithmetic processing CPU 40a, a ROM 40b, a RAM 40c, a VDP (Video Display Processor) 40d, and the like, a communication interface (communication I / F) 40e, and an input / output interface (input / output I / F) 40f. ing. Further, an image ROM 40g storing image and video data, a sound ROM 40h storing sound data, and a sound LSI 40i for controlling sound output are provided.

  This effect control device 40 is based on various signals (effect control data (such as various commands)) received from the game control device 30 via the communication interface 40e (under the control of the game control device 30). Control is performed. The input / output interface 40f receives a detection signal from an effect button 41 (shown in FIG. 3) provided on the front surface of the gaming machine, and the effect control device 40 receives the detection signal. Based on the control (under the control of the game control device 30), the control of the game effect is performed.

  Furthermore, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40f, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40f, and the output of the movable effect device via an output port and a driver (not shown). It is output to various LED boards 44 provided with decoration LED provided in the accessory drive motor 42, the game board 1, and the clear member holding frame covering the front of the game board 1, and the production of the game is performed. ing. Of the control signals output from the CPU 40a, a control signal related to image control is output from the CPU 40a to the VDP 40d, and image data based on the control signal is output from the VDP 40d to the display device 43. Further, a control signal related to the control of sound is output from the CPU 40a to the sound LSI 40i, and sound data based on the control signal is output from the sound LSI 40i to the speaker 45.

  In addition, power is supplied to the game control device 30 from a power supply device (not shown), and power is also supplied to the other devices from the power supply device. In addition, the power supply device is equipped with a backup power supply to enable power supply even when the external power supply is interrupted, such as during a power failure, and is stored in the volatile memory of each control device during a power failure. The loss of recorded data is prevented.

In these control devices, the following game control is performed.
The game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the usual figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, and stores it in the ROM 31b. Compared with the stored determination value, a process of determining whether or not the normal-game fluctuation display game is missed is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general symbol display 5, a process for displaying a general symbol variation display game to be stopped is performed. If the result of this normal map change display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric power SOL 7b is operated to open and close the opening / closing members 7a, 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 for a predetermined time. The opening control is performed as described above (for example, for 0.5 seconds). In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first special figure start opening SW13d provided in the first start winning opening 13, the random number value for determining the big hit of the first special figure variation display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the first start memory is performed. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second special figure starting port SW7d provided in the normal fluctuation winning device 7, a random number for determining the big hit of the second special figure variable display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the second start memory is performed. That is, in order to determine whether or not the game control device 30 derives a special result mode with a predetermined number as an upper limit in the order of winning game balls to the start winning area (the first start winning port 13, the normal variation winning device 7). The jackpot random number storage means for storing the jackpot random number.

  In addition, when storing by the first start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory is compared with the determination value (win value) for the first special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b, A process of determining a missed hit of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, when storing by the second start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the second start memory is compared with the determination value (win value) for the second special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Then, a process of determining a miss of the second special figure variation display game is performed.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the start-up memory, the identification symbols are displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a varying manner and then stopped. Processing to display a special figure variation display game is performed.

  In addition, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game is executed. It is designed to execute in preference to execution control.

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the special figure mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. . In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control is performed so that the gaming ball can flow into the special winning opening. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one round is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is continued (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 or 2 times). Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 executes a specific variation display game different from the special figure variation display game based on the establishment of the specific condition. Specifically, processing is performed to generate a specific gaming state (time-short operation state, probability variation state) in which the frequency with which the normal variation winning device 7 converts to the open state is higher than the normal state.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The value given to this player is high because, for example, the distribution rate of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous for the player (the first special figure variable display game has an occurrence rate of 16R probability variation big hit: 40%, The 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate is 20%, and the 16R normal jackpot occurrence rate is 40%, whereas the second special figure fluctuation display game is the 16R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 55%, the 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 5%, 16R normal big hit occurrence rate: 40%). In addition to the fact that the number of rounds in the special gaming state is large (the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player is large), the second special figure variation display game is more The probability of becoming higher may be increased. Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, a reach production that does not usually appear easily (a so-called super reach or a premier reach), and the like.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 is input from sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the detected game ball detection signal, the payout motor of the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

  In addition to the start timing of the special figure variation display game, the game control device 30 determines the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first start memory or the second start memory, and the hit value (determination) stored in the ROM 31b. Value) and a process for determining whether or not a special result mode is derived in the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory for the start memory that has not yet executed the special figure fluctuation display game. It has become.

In addition, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal from the game control device 30 (change time command, change stop command, etc.), the display device 43 displays a decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game. Controls processing and effects.
Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, a big hit random number that causes a game result to be out of order is stored in the second start memory having the digestion order from the first to the third, and the digestion order is fourth. When the big hit random number for which the game result is a big hit is stored in the second starting memory, the fluctuation pattern determining random number stored corresponding to the big hit random number is replaced with the fluctuation pattern determining random number stored before that The effect control device 40 is a process for displaying a decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure variation display game on the display device 43 based on a command signal (a variation time command, a variation stop command, etc.) from the game control device 30. Or, the production is controlled (see FIG. 21). Hereinafter, a process for performing a variation display game in which such variation patterns are replaced will be described.

  First, game control in the game control device 30 will be described. The game control mainly includes a main process and a timer interrupt process performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec).

[Main processing]
In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the main process includes a process at the start of the program, a process for returning to the state at the time of the power failure, a process of the main loop, and a process at the time of the power failure.

  In the main processing, first, processing at the start of the program is performed. The process at the start of the program is initially performed as an initial setting, in which an interrupt is prohibited (step S1) and an interrupt vector is set (step S2). Further, processing for setting the stack pointer (step S3) is performed, and processing for setting the interrupt mode (step S4) is performed. Thereafter, processing for permitting access to the RAM (RWM) 31c (step S5) is performed, and processing for turning off all output ports (step S6) is performed.

  Next, the backup clear switch is checked. The RAM 31c of the game control device 30 is backed up by the backup power source of the power supply device. If the backup clear switch is ON when the power is turned on, the RAM 31c is initialized. . As a check of the backup clear switch, it is determined whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7).

  If the backup clear switch is not ON (step S7; No) in the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), the power failure recovery determination is performed. As a determination of the power failure recovery, first, a process of checking the power failure inspection area (step S8) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the power failure is recovered (step S9).

  In the power outage inspection area, as will be described later, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 100 is cut off due to a power outage, power outage recovery inspection area check data is set (step S26). Inspection area check data is not stored. Therefore, by determining the presence or absence of this power failure recovery inspection area check data, it is possible to determine whether or not it is power failure recovery.

  In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is not restored (step S9; No), the RAM 31c to be used is cleared (step S18). In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is restored (step S9; Yes), it is determined whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10).

  In determining whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), the backed up data in the RAM 31c and the check data are compared, and if both match, it is determined normal, and if they do not match, it is determined abnormal. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether the information stored in the RAM 31c is correctly backed up.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is not normal (step S10; No), a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed. Note that the case where the data in the RAM 31c and the check data do not match in this way includes, for example, the case where the data is destroyed due to an abnormal current or the like of a lightning strike, the case where the pachinko gaming machine 100 is first installed, Is considered to have exceeded the time available for backup. Further, it is conceivable that the RAM 31c is initialized because the connection between the power supply device and the game control device 30 is cut off for some reason and the backup power is not supplied. Furthermore, since the illegal game control device 30 is often not backed up in the RAM 31c, it is conceivable that the illegal game control device 30 is attached.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is normal (step S10; Yes), processing for returning to the state at the time of the power failure is performed.

  As processing for returning to the state at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, processing for setting an initial value at the time of power failure recovery (step S11) is performed in the RAM 31c. Furthermore, after performing the process (step S12) which clears the area | region concerning the state of a game frame, the process (step S13) which transmits a power failure recovery command is performed. Then, a process for starting the interrupt timer (step S17) is performed.

  If the backup clear switch is ON (step S7; Yes) in the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), initialization processing at power-on is performed as main loop processing.

  As an initialization process at the time of power-on, first, a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed, and a process of saving an initial value at the time of power-on to the RAM 31c (step S15). Further, a process for transmitting a power-on command (step S16) is performed. Then, a process for starting the interrupt timer (step S17) is performed.

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, a process for starting an interrupt timer (step S17) is performed to start a CTC (counter timer circuit). Next, a process for prohibiting interruption (step S18) is performed, a process for updating the initial random number by the initial value random number update process (step S19), and a process for permitting interruption (step S20) are performed.

  And the process (step S21) which checks the power failure inspection area | region of RAM31c is performed, and it is determined whether the power failure generate | occur | produced (step S22). In the power failure inspection area, check data is set when the power of the gaming machine is shut off due to a power failure as described later (step S26), and no check data is stored in the normal time. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22), if a power failure has not occurred (step S22; No), the process returns to the process for prohibiting the above-described interruption (step S18). If not, the process for prohibiting interruption (step S18) repeatedly determines whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22).

  When a power failure occurs in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22) (step S22; Yes), processing is performed when the power failure occurs. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power capable of executing the following processing when the power failure occurs.

  In the process at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, a process for prohibiting interruption (step S23) is performed. Then, processing for turning off all output ports (step S24) is performed, and processing for clearing the power failure inspection area (step S25) is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area (step S26), the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off (step S27) is performed to access the RAM 31c. A prohibition process (step S28) is performed to wait for power-off of the gaming machine. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in the timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step a) is performed. Next, various sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, gate SW4a, winning port SW12a, 12a,..., Count SW10c, glass frame opening SW146, gaming machine frame opening SW121, out of ball SW122 , Etc.) is processed to perform input processing (step b). Then, based on the output data set in various processes, an output process (step c) for performing drive control of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, ordinary power SOL7b) is performed.

  Next, command transmission processing (step d) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processing to various control devices is performed. And a big hit random number for judging the hit-off symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game, a big hit symbol random number for judging the big hit symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game, a hit random number for judging the hit deviation of the normal figure fluctuation display game Random number update process 1 (step e) is performed.

  Next, a winning opening switch monitoring process for monitoring whether or not a signal is input from the gate SW4a, winning openings SW12a, 12a,... (Whether or not a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input), and An error monitoring process (step f) for monitoring signals and errors, a special figure game process (step g) for performing a process related to the special figure fluctuation display game, and a normal figure game process (step f) for performing a process related to the general figure fluctuation display game h).

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step i) is performed, which is provided in the game board 1 and performs a process related to the status indicator 17 for displaying various information related to the game. Then, an external information editing process (step j) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, processing for declaring the end of interrupt (step k) is performed, processing for restoring the saved register data (step l) is performed, processing for enabling interrupt (step m) is performed, and timer interrupt processing is performed. finish.

  Next, a count switch monitoring process (step g3) is performed. In the count switch monitoring process (step g3), a process of monitoring the count number of the count SW 10c provided in the special variable winning device 10 is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the game process timer has expired (step g4). In the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step g4), if the game process timer has expired (step g4; Yes), a process of obtaining a game process number (step g5) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step g4), if the game process timer has not expired (step g4; No), the game process timer is updated (the count value of the timer is changed). 1 decrement), the process proceeds to step g16, the special figure fluctuation control process (step g16) for performing fluctuation control of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the winning effect predetermination process 2 (step g111), first, a process (step g111a) for obtaining the special figure 2 hold number (second start memory number) at this time is performed. Then, it is determined (step g111b) whether or not the special figure 2 hold number acquired in step g111a is a value larger than one.

  In the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 hold number acquired in step g111a is a value greater than 1 (step g111b), when the special figure 2 hold number acquired in step g111a is not a value greater than 1 (step g111b; No) moves to step g111n. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 hold number acquired in step g111a is a value greater than 1 (step g111b), the special figure 2 hold number acquired in step g111a is a value greater than 1 ( Step g111b (Yes) performs a process (step g111c) for obtaining the area number of the reserved storage. Specifically, for example, when the reserved memory is the fourth reserved memory in the digestion order, the area number to be acquired is 4.

  Next, a process (step g111d) of setting a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the area number acquired in step g111c is set as a counter value, and a process of acquiring a jackpot random number value of the area number in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value ( Step g111e) is performed.

In the determination of whether or not the jackpot random number value acquired in step g111e matches the winning value (step g111f), when the jackpot random number value acquired in step g111e matches the winning value (step g111f; Yes). , The process proceeds to step g111n. On the other hand, when determining whether or not the jackpot random number value acquired in step g111e matches the winning value (step g111f), if the jackpot random number value acquired in step g111e does not match the winning value (step g111f; No) ) Performs a process of decrementing the counter value by 1 (step g111g).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the counter value is 0 (step g111h). In the determination of whether or not the counter value is 0 (step g111h), when the counter value is not 0 (step g111h; No), the process returns to step g111e. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the counter value is 0 (step g111h), if the counter value is 0 (step g111h; Yes), the area number 1 in the reserved memory, that is, the first reservation in the digestion order. A process (step g111i) for acquiring the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern corresponding to the storage is performed.

(Step g111j) is determined.

  In the determination of whether or not the latter half variation pattern group corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number 1 acquired in step g111i is the latter half variation pattern group 1 (step g111j), the variation pattern determining random number 1 acquired in step g111i is used. If the corresponding latter half fluctuation pattern group is the latter half fluctuation pattern group 1 (step g111j; Yes), that is, if it is a normal fluctuation pattern group, the process proceeds to step g111n. On the other hand, in determining whether or not the latter half variation pattern group corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number 1 acquired in step g111i is the latter half variation pattern group 1 (step g111j), the variation pattern determining random number acquired in step g111i. If the latter half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to 1 is not the latter half fluctuation pattern group 1 (step g111j; No), that is, if the reach occurrence fluctuation pattern group, the latter half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the reserved storage based on the fluctuation pattern group. And a process (step g111k) for comparing the degree of jackpot expectation with the latter half variation pattern group corresponding to the reserved storage of area number 1. Specifically, SP (special) 2 reach B is the highest, the SP (special) 2 reach A is the second, SP (special) 1 reach B is the third, SP (special), ) 1 reach A is 4th and N (normal) reach is 5th.

  Next, as a result of the comparison in step g111k, a determination is made as to whether or not the latter half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the reserved storage has a higher jackpot expectation than the latter half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the area number 1 reserved storage (step g111l). Do.

  In the determination (step g111l) of the second half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the reserved memory, the second half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the reserved memory has a higher jackpot expectation than the second half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the area number 1 reserved memory. When the pattern group has a lower degree of jackpot expectation than the latter half variation pattern group corresponding to the area number 1 reserved storage (step g111l; No), the process proceeds to step g111n. On the other hand, in the determination (step g111l) of whether or not the latter half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the reserved memory has a higher jackpot expectation than the latter half fluctuation pattern group corresponding to the area number 1 reserved memory (step g111l), it corresponds to the reserved memory. When the second half variation pattern group has a higher jackpot expectation than the latter half variation pattern group corresponding to the reserved storage of the region number 1 (step g111l; Yes), the variation pattern determining random number 1 corresponding to the reserved storage and the region number A process (step g111m) for exchanging the random number 1 for variation pattern determination corresponding to 1 hold storage is performed.

  Next, a process (step g111n) of obtaining an effect prior determination command corresponding to the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern is performed. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, if it is instructed that the on-hold variation pattern determination random number 1 is “big hit / N reach”, the production prior determination command 5 is acquired, If the reserved variation pattern determining random number 1 indicates that the jackpot / SP1 reach is in effect, an effect pre-determination command 6 is acquired, and the reserved variation pattern determining random number 1 is determined to be a jackpot / SP2 If the instruction is “reach”, the effect pre-determination command 7 is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to step g114 in the start port 2SW monitoring process.

  Returning to the start port 2SW monitoring process, in determining whether or not the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning value (step g110), the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 is When it does not coincide with the winning value (step g110; No), a process (step g112) of obtaining an effect pre-determination command table corresponding to the number of holds stored in the second start memory is performed. Here, since the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 does not match the winning value (step g110; No), for example, the second start of the effect preliminary determination commands 1 to 7 shown in FIG. Production predetermining command 1 for instructing that the memory held in the memory is “no detachment / reach”, production predetermining command 2 for instructing that it is “out of shoot / N reach”, and “outage / SP1 reach” An effect pre-determination command table is selected so that either the effect pre-determination command 3 for instructing to be present or the effect pre-determination command 4 for instructing that it is “out of position / SP2 reach” is selected. Next, based on the effect predetermination command table acquired in step g112, a process of obtaining an effect predetermination command corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number 1 extracted in step g109 is performed (step g113).

  Next, a process of obtaining a stop symbol pattern command corresponding to the jackpot symbol random number 2 extracted in step g108 (step g114) is performed. And the process which sets the production prior determination command acquired in step g113 (step g115), the process which sets the stop symbol pattern command acquired in step g114 (step g116), and the process which sets the decoration special figure 2 reservation number command (Step g117) is performed, and the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated.

Thereby, the game control device 30 uses the game result information based on the random number values of the jackpot random number and the variation pattern determination random number stored in the jackpot random number storage unit and the variation pattern determination random number storage unit based on the random number values. A game result pre-determining means for determining before the start of the variable display game to be executed.
Further, the game control device 30 has a random value changing means for changing the variation pattern determining random number stored in the variation pattern determining random number storing means based on the determination result of the game result prior determining means, and this random value changing means. If it is determined that the big hit random number for deriving the special result mode is stored in the big hit random number storage means based on the determination result of the game result prior determination means, the random number for determining the variation pattern corresponding to the big hit random number A first variation pattern determining random number stored in the storage unit and a second variation stored in the variation pattern determining random number storage unit corresponding to the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage unit before the big hit random number It will have a variation pattern determining random number replacement means for replacing the pattern determining random number.
In addition, when the variation pattern group determined based on the second variation pattern determination random number is a reach occurrence variation pattern group, the variation pattern determination random number replacement means replaces the first variation pattern determination random number. Become. The reach occurrence variation pattern group includes a first variation pattern group selected at a predetermined ratio when the result mode of the variation display game is a special result mode, and the result mode of the variation display game is a special result mode. And a second variation pattern group selected at a higher rate than the first variation pattern, and the variation pattern determination random number replacement means includes a variation pattern group based on the first variation pattern determination random number and The variation pattern group based on the second variation pattern determination random number is compared, the variation pattern group based on the first variation pattern determination random number belongs to the second variation pattern group, and is based on the second variation pattern determination random number. When the variation pattern group belongs to the first variation pattern group, the first variation pattern determination random number and the second variation pattern And thus to replace the emission determination random number.
Further, the variation pattern determination random number replacement means is stored in a state where the start of the variation display game is suspended among the variation pattern determination random numbers stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means, and to the start winning area. The random number for determining the variation pattern stored corresponding to the big hit random number with the earliest winning order is the second random number for determining the variation pattern.

Further, the game control device 30 has a random value changing means for changing the variation pattern determining random number stored in the variation pattern determining random number storing means based on the determination result of the game result prior determining means, and this random value changing means. If it is determined that the big hit random number for deriving the special result mode is stored in the big hit random number storage means based on the determination result of the game result prior determination means, the random number for determining the variation pattern corresponding to the big hit random number A first variation pattern determining random number stored in the storage unit and a second variation stored in the variation pattern determining random number storage unit corresponding to the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage unit before the big hit random number It will have a variation pattern determining random number replacement means for replacing the pattern determining random number.
In addition, when the variation pattern group determined based on the second variation pattern determination random number is a reach occurrence variation pattern group, the variation pattern determination random number replacement means replaces the first variation pattern determination random number. Become. The reach occurrence variation pattern group includes a first variation pattern group selected at a predetermined ratio when the result mode of the variation display game is a special result mode, and the result mode of the variation display game is a special result mode. And a second variation pattern group selected at a higher rate than the first variation pattern, and the variation pattern determination random number replacement means includes a variation pattern group based on the first variation pattern determination random number and The variation pattern group based on the second variation pattern determination random number is compared, the variation pattern group based on the first variation pattern determination random number belongs to the second variation pattern group, and is based on the second variation pattern determination random number. When the variation pattern group belongs to the first variation pattern group, the first variation pattern determination random number and the second variation pattern And thus to replace the emission determination random number.
Further, the variation pattern determination random number replacement means is stored in a state where the start of the variation display game is suspended among the variation pattern determination random numbers stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means, and to the start winning area. The random number for determining the variation pattern stored corresponding to the big hit random number with the earliest winning order is the second random number for determining the variation pattern.

  This special figure 1 fluctuation start process 1 (step g609) is a process performed at the start of the first special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. 15, first, the digestion order extracted in step g207 is the first. A process of reading the random number for variation pattern determination 1 related to the first start memory (step g608a) and a process of reading the big hit random number value related to the second start memory extracted in step g205 (step g608b). )I do. Then, it is determined (step g608c) whether or not the jackpot random number value read in step g608b matches the determination value (winning value), that is, whether or not it is a jackpot.

  In determining whether or not the jackpot random number value read in step g608b matches the determination value (winning value) (step g608c), the jackpot random number value read in step g608b is determined to be the determination value (winning value). If they match (step g608c; Yes), a process (step g608d) of obtaining a variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table corresponding to the gaming state is performed. On the other hand, in determining whether or not the jackpot random number value read in step g608b matches the determination value (winning value) (step g608c), the jackpot random number value read in step g608b is the determination value (winning value). ) (Step g608c; No), a process (step g608e) is performed for obtaining a variation pattern determination random number 1 determination table corresponding to the gaming state and the number of reserves in the first start memory.

The acquisition process (step g608h) is performed.

  Next, a process (step g608i) for determining the latter half variation pattern by comparing the variation pattern determination random number 2 extracted in step g608g with the variation pattern determination random number 2 determination table acquired in step g608h is performed.

  Next, a process of storing a time value corresponding to the latter half fluctuation pattern in the latter half fluctuation time saving area (step g608j) is performed. Then, returning to the special figure normal process, a process (step g610) for setting the special figure 1 fluctuation start setting table is performed, and the special figure normal process is terminated.

[Special figure change start process 2]

As shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure fluctuation start process 2, first, a fluctuation pattern setting process (step g701) is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the fluctuation pattern setting process (step g701) first performs a process (g701a) of extracting the random number 3 for fluctuation pattern determination for determining the first half fluctuation pattern, A process (step g701b) of reading out a big hit random number value related to the first start memory whose digestion order is extracted in g107 or a big hit random number value related to the first start memory whose digestion order is extracted in step g205 (step g701b). Do. Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number value read out in step g701b matches the determination value (hit value), that is, whether or not it is a jackpot (step g701c).

  In determining whether or not the jackpot random number value read in step g701b matches the determination value (winning value) (step g701c), the jackpot random number value read in step g701b and the determination value (winning value). If they match (step g701c; Yes), a process (step g701d) for obtaining a random number 3 determination table for determining a variation pattern corresponding to the gaming state is performed. On the other hand, in determining whether or not the jackpot random number value read in step g701b matches the determination value (winning value) (step g701c), the jackpot random number value read in step g701b is determined as the determination value (winning value). ) (Step g701c; No), a process for acquiring a random number 3 determination table for determining a variation pattern corresponding to the gaming state and the number of first start memory or second start memory held (step g701e) I do.

  Next, a process (step g701f) of determining the first half variation pattern by comparing the variation pattern determination random number 3 extracted in step g701a with the variation pattern determination random number 3 determination table acquired in step g701d or step g701e. Do.

  Next, a process (step g701g) for setting a time value corresponding to the first half variation pattern in the game process timer is performed. Then, returning to the special figure variation start process 2, it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the variation of the first special figure variation display game (step g702).

  In determining whether the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the first special figure fluctuation display game fluctuation (step g702), the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the first special figure fluctuation display game fluctuation. If it is (Step g702; Yes), a process (Step g703) for shifting the random number saving area of the first special figure is performed. As a result, one first start memory number is consumed. On the other hand, in determining whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game (step g702), the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is the first special figure fluctuation display game. If it is not for fluctuation (step g702; No), a process for shifting the random number saving area of the second special figure (step g704) is performed. As a result, one second start memory number is consumed.

  Next, processing for setting a special figure variation pattern command (step g705) is performed based on the variation pattern setting processing at step g701, and command setting processing (step g706) is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game (step g707). In determining whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game (step g707), the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game. If it is a thing (step g707; Yes), a process (step g708) for setting MODE data of the decoration special figure 1 command is performed. On the other hand, in the determination (step g707) whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game, the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is the first special figure fluctuation display game. If it is not a change (step g707; No), a process (step g709) for setting MODE data of the decoration special figure 2 command is performed.

  Next, processing (step g710) for setting the action data of the decoration special figure command (step g710), command setting processing (step g711), and processing for decrementing the number of suspensions of the first start memory or the second start memory (step g712) are performed. Note that the definition of the timing at which the first start memory number or the second start memory number is consumed can be changed, and the process of decrementing the hold number of the first start memory or the second start memory by 1 ( It may be defined that the first start memory number or the second start memory number is exhausted by step g712). However, in this case, the process of shifting the random number save area of the first special figure (step g703) or the process of shifting the random number save area of the second special figure (step g704) is the first start memory number or the second start number. The number of memories will be excluded from the timing when one is consumed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game (step g713). In determining whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game (step g713), the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game. When it is a thing (step g713; Yes), the process (step g714) which sets MODE data of the decoration special figure 1 reservation number is performed. On the other hand, in determining whether or not the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is for the fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display game (step g713), the special figure fluctuation start process 2 is the first special figure fluctuation display game. If it is not for fluctuations (step g713; No), a process (step g715) for setting MODE data of the number of special decoration figure 2 hold is performed.

[Special figure change start processing 3]
Next, details of the special figure change start process 3 in the special figure game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in the special figure change start process 3, after the time value corresponding to the first half change pattern set in the game process timer in step g701g has elapsed, first in step g607j or step g608j, the second half change time save area is displayed. A process for setting the time value stored in the game process timer (step g801) is performed, a process for setting the special figure variation process setting table (step g802) is performed, and the special figure variation start process 3 is terminated.

  Next, a specific example of the effect advance determination process 2 in FIG. 9 or the effect advance determination process 1 in FIG. 11 will be described. Since the effect predetermination process 2 and the effect predetermination process 1 have the same processing contents, the effect predetermination process 2 will be described as a representative with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 21 is a table showing the contents of the jackpot random number and variation pattern determining random number 1 stored in the second startup memory. More specifically, FIG. 21 (1) shows the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the second start memory having the first digestion order and the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the second start memory having the fourth digest order. FIG. 21 (2) shows a variation pattern determining random number 1 in the second start memory having the first digestion order and a variation pattern determining random number 1 in the second start memory having the fourth digest order. The table after the replacement.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (1), when the second start memory (holding memory number 4) is newly generated, the big hit random number based on the second start memory is that the game result is a big hit (step g110). ), Production predetermination processing 2 (step g111) is performed.

  In this effect predetermination process 2 (step g111), first, the special figure 2 hold number “4” is acquired (step g111a). Then, since the special figure 2 holding number is “4”> 1 (step g111b), the area number “4” of the holding storage is acquired (step g111c). Next, a value “3” obtained by subtracting 1 from the region number “4” is set as a counter value (step g111d). Next, the big hit random value of the area number “3” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “3” is acquired (step g111e). At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), the jackpot random number of the area number “3” (holding storage number 3) in the holding storage is a game result that is out of play (step g111f; No). The counter is decremented by 1 to set the counter value to “2” (step g111g). Since the counter value at this time is not 0 (step g111h; No), the process returns to step g111e.

  Next, the jackpot random number value of the area number “2” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “2” is acquired (step g111e). At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), since the big hit random number of the area number “2” (holding storage number 3) of the holding storage is a game result is out of place (step g111f; No), The counter is decremented by 1 to set the counter value to “1” (step g111g). Since the counter value at this time is not 0 (step g111h; No), the process returns to step g111e.

  Next, the jackpot random number value of the area number “1” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “1” is acquired (step g111e). At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), the jackpot random number of the area number “1” (holding storage number 3) in the holding storage is a game result that is out of place (step g111f; No). The counter is decremented by 1 to set the counter value to “0” (step g111g). Since the counter value at this time is 0 (step g111h; Yes), the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern of the area number “1” in the reserved storage is acquired (step g111i). Since the latter half fluctuation pattern group based on the fluctuation pattern determining random number 1 obtained at this time is the latter half fluctuation pattern group 2 (step g111j; No), the latter half fluctuation pattern group of the hold memory number 1 and the hold memory number 4 The big hit expectation is compared with the latter half fluctuation pattern group (step g111k). At this time, the latter half fluctuation pattern group of the reserved storage number 1 is a reach occurrence fluctuation pattern group that generates N reach, and the latter half fluctuation pattern group of the hold storage number 4 is a reach occurrence fluctuation pattern group that generates SP2 reach. Since the second half variation pattern group of the reserved storage number 4 has a higher expectation degree of jackpot (step g111l; Yes), the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the reserved storage number 1 and the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the reserved storage number 4 are obtained. Replacement (step g111m), as shown in FIG. 21 (2), the latter-half variation pattern group with the reserved storage number 1 is changed to the latter-half variation pattern group 4, and the latter-half variation pattern group with the retention storage number 1 is assigned to the latter-half variation pattern group 2. To.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a variation that variably displays a plurality of pieces of identification information based on the winning of a game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 13, the normal variable winning device 7). A variable display device capable of executing a display game (display device 43), and a control means (game control device 30) for controlling the variable display game performed by the variable display device. In a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a player a predetermined gaming value when the specified special result mode is reached, a special result with a predetermined number as an upper limit in the order of winning game balls in the start winning area A jackpot random number storage means (game control device 30) for storing a jackpot random number for determining whether or not to derive a mode and a jackpot random number stored in the jackpot random number storage means are stored and changed. Variation pattern determining random number storage means (game control device 30) for storing a variation pattern determining random number for determining a variation pattern of the indicated game, and a jackpot stored in the big hit random number storing means and the variation pattern determining random number storage means Game result pre-determination means (game control device 30) for determining game result information based on random numbers of random numbers and random numbers for determining a variation pattern before starting a variable display game executed based on the random numbers; Random number change means (game control device 30) for changing the variation pattern determination random number stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means based on the determination result of the game result prior determination means, and the random value change means Based on the determination result of the game result prior determination means, it is determined that the big hit random number for deriving the special result mode is stored in the big hit random number storage means. In this case, the first variation pattern determination random number stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means corresponding to the big hit random number and the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means before the big hit random number Thus, the variation pattern determination random number replacement means for replacing the second variation pattern determination random number stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means is provided.

As a result, in the variable display game in which the special result mode is not derived, a variation pattern in which the special result mode is highly likely to be derived is executed, and in the subsequent variable display game, the special result mode is derived.
Therefore, in a variable display game in which a special result mode is not derived, a player is discouraged by executing a variation pattern that is highly likely to derive a special result mode. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by deriving the result mode.
In addition, in a variable display game that does not derive a special result mode, if a gasse effect that is highly likely to derive a special result mode is performed, a special result mode can be derived in a subsequent variable display game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from losing the willingness to finish the game as soon as possible, even if a gasse effect is performed in the variable display game and no special result mode is derived.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can determine a variation pattern group obtained by grouping a plurality of types of variation patterns using variation pattern determination random numbers, and the variation pattern groups determined by the variation pattern determination random numbers include , A normal variation pattern group that does not generate reach during the execution process of the variation display game, and a reach generation variation pattern group that generates reach during the execution process of the variation display game. When the variation pattern group determined based on the two variation pattern determination random numbers is the reach occurrence variation pattern group, it is replaced with the first variation pattern determination random number.

  Thereby, when the variation pattern group determined based on the second variation pattern determination random number is the reach occurrence variation pattern group, the variation pattern determination random number replacement means may replace the first variation pattern determination random number with the first variation pattern determination random number. The reason why the reach can be surely generated in the variation pattern of the variation display game in which the special result mode is derived, and the player confirms the middle of the variation display game and the reach does not occur. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from losing the willingness to play and throwing out the game on the way.

  The reach occurrence variation pattern group includes a first variation pattern group selected at a predetermined ratio when the result mode of the variation display game is a special result mode, and the result mode of the variation display game is a special result mode. And a second variation pattern group selected at a higher rate than the first variation pattern, and the variation pattern determination random number replacement means includes a variation pattern group based on the first variation pattern determination random number and The variation pattern group based on the second variation pattern determination random number is compared, the variation pattern group based on the first variation pattern determination random number belongs to the second variation pattern group, and is based on the second variation pattern determination random number. When the variation pattern group belongs to the first variation pattern group, the first variation pattern determination random number and the second variation pattern are included. And thus to replace the over emissions determination random number.

  Therefore, the player can be surely discouraged immediately before the game result of the variable display game in which the special result mode is actually derived, and the joy when the special result mode is derived is preferable. Can be doubled.

  The variation pattern determination random number replacement means is stored in a state in which the start of the variation display game is put on hold among the variation pattern determination random numbers stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means, and to the start winning area. The random number for determining the variation pattern stored corresponding to the big hit random number with the earliest winning order is the second random number for determining the variation pattern.

  Therefore, the joy when the special result mode is derived can be preferably doubled by increasing the time when the player is discouraged.

Note that the determination process of step g111j may not be performed in the effect advance determination process 2 of FIG. That is, in this case, even if the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern of the area number 1 in the reserved storage corresponds to the normal variation pattern group that does not generate reach, the variation pattern determination for the second start-up memory newly stored is used. It will be replaced with random number 1. In this case, when the variable display game based on the newly stored second start memory is played, a big hit will occur without performing the reach effect, but during the effect by the latter half change pattern at this time, the display unit 43a. You may make it alert | report that it is a chance eye by blinking and displaying the decorative design displayed on.
Also, in the determination process of step g111j, if it is determined that it is the latter-half variation pattern group 1 (step g111j; Yes), the latter-half variation pattern group 1 is changed to the latter-half variation pattern group 2 without shifting to step g111n. It is also possible to perform the processing to shift to step g111k.
Similarly, the determination process of step g211j may not be performed in the effect predetermination process 1 of FIG. That is, in this case, even if the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern of the area number 1 in the reserved storage corresponds to the normal variation pattern group that does not cause reach, the variation pattern determination for the first stored start memory is newly stored. It will be replaced with random number 1. In this case, if a variable display game based on the first stored start memory is performed, a big hit will occur without performing the reach effect, but the display unit 43a during the effect by the latter half change pattern at this time You may make it alert | report that it is a chance eye by blinking and displaying the decorative design displayed on.
Further, in the determination process of step g211j, when it is determined that it is the latter half fluctuation pattern group 1 (step g211j; Yes), the latter half fluctuation pattern group 1 is changed to the second half fluctuation pattern group 2 without moving to step g211n. It is also possible to perform the process to shift to step g211k.

Basically, it has the same configuration as that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and description thereof is omitted. Different parts will be described.

[Production pre-decision process 2]
As shown in FIG. 22, in the effect predetermining process 2 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is determined that the counter value is 0 in the effect predetermining process 2 in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. If it has been performed (step g111h; Yes), a process of setting 1 to the counter value (step g111o) is performed, and a process of obtaining the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern of the area number of the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value (step g111p) )I do.

  If it is determined that the latter-half variation pattern group is the latter-half variation pattern group 1 (step g111j; Yes), a process of incrementing the counter by 1 (step g111q) is performed, and the counter value, the area number of the reserved storage, Is performed (step g111r). Then, it is determined whether or not the counter value matches the area number of the reserved storage (step g111s). In determining whether or not the counter value matches the reserved storage area number (step g111s), if the counter value and the reserved storage area number match (step g111s; Yes), the counter value is set. A process of clearing to 0 (step g111t) is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the counter value matches the reserved storage area number (step g111s), if the counter value and the reserved storage area number do not match (step g111s; No), step Return to g111p. Further, after performing the process (step g111m) for replacing the fluctuation pattern determination random number 1 corresponding to the hold storage and the change pattern determination random number 1 corresponding to the hold storage corresponding to the counter value, the counter value is set to 0.

[Preliminary production process 1]
As shown in FIG. 23, in the effect advance determination process 1 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is determined that the counter value is 0 in the effect advance determination process 1 in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 11. If it has been performed (step g211h; Yes), a process for setting the counter value to 1 (step g211o) is performed, and a process for obtaining the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern of the area number of the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value (step g211p) )I do.

  When it is determined that the latter half variation pattern group is the latter half variation pattern group 1 (step g211j; Yes), a process of incrementing the counter by 1 (step g211q) is performed, and the counter value, the area number of the reserved storage, and Is performed (step g211r). Then, it is determined whether or not the counter value matches the area number of the reserved storage (step g211s). In determining whether or not the counter value matches the reserved storage area number (step g211s), if the counter value and the reserved storage area number match (step g211s; Yes), the counter value is set. A process of clearing to 0 (step g211t) is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the counter value matches the area number of the reserved storage (step g211s), if the counter value does not match the area number of the reserved storage (step g211s; No), step Return to g211p. Further, after performing the process of replacing the fluctuation pattern determining random number 1 corresponding to the reserved storage and the variation pattern determining random number 1 corresponding to the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value (step g211m), the counter value is set to 0. A clearing process (step g211t) is performed.

  Next, a specific example of the effect advance determination process 2 in FIG. 22 or the effect advance determination process 1 in FIG. 23 will be described. Since the effect predetermination process 2 and the effect predetermination process 1 have the same processing contents, the effect predetermination process 2 will be described as a representative with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 24 is a table showing the contents of the jackpot random number and variation pattern determining random number 1 stored in the second start memory. More specifically, FIG. 24 (1) shows the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the second start memory having the second digestion order and the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the second start memory having the fourth digest order. FIG. 24 (2) shows the change pattern determination random number 1 of the second start memory having the second digestion order and the change pattern determination random number 1 of the second start memory having the fourth digest order. The table after the replacement.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (1), when the second start memory (holding memory number 4) is newly generated, the big hit random number based on the second start memory is that the game result is a big hit (step g110). ), Production predetermination processing 2 (step g111) is performed.

  In this effect predetermination process 2 (step g111), first, the special figure 2 hold number “4” is acquired (step g111a). Then, since the special figure 2 holding number is “4”> 1 (step g111b), the area number “4” of the holding storage is acquired (step g111c). Next, a value “3” obtained by subtracting 1 from the region number “4” is set as a counter value (step g111d). Next, the big hit random value of the area number “3” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “3” is acquired (step g111e). At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), the jackpot random number of the area number “3” (holding storage number 3) in the holding storage is a game result that is out of play (step g111f; No). The counter is decremented by 1 to set the counter value to “2” (step g111g). Since the counter value at this time is not 0 (step g111h; No), the process returns to step g111e.

  Next, the jackpot random number value of the area number “2” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “2” is acquired (step g111e). At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), since the big hit random number of the area number “2” (holding storage number 3) of the holding storage is a game result is out of place (step g111f; No), The counter is decremented by 1 to set the counter value to “1” (step g111g). Since the counter value at this time is not 0 (step g111h; No), the process returns to step g111e.

  Next, the jackpot random number value of the area number “1” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “1” is acquired (step g111e). At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), the jackpot random number of the area number “1” (holding storage number 3) in the holding storage is a game result that is out of place (step g111f; No). The counter is decremented by 1 to set the counter value to “0” (step g111g). Since the counter value at this time is 0 (step g111h; Yes), 1 is set in the counter value (step g111o), and the variation pattern of the reserved storage area number “1” corresponding to the counter value “1” is set. The determination random number 1 is acquired (step g111p). Since the latter half variation pattern group based on the variation pattern determination random number 1 obtained at this time is the latter half variation pattern group 1 (step g111j; Yes), the counter value is incremented by 1 (step g111q), and the counter value “2” is determined. ”And the area number“ 4 ”of the reserved storage (step g111r). At this time, the counter value “2” does not match the reserved storage area number “4” (step g111s; No), and the process returns to step g111p.

  Next, the random number 1 for determining the fluctuation pattern of the area number “2” in the reserved storage corresponding to the counter value “2” is acquired (step g111p). Since the latter half variation pattern group based on the variation pattern determination random number 1 obtained at this time is not the latter half variation pattern group 1 (step g111j; No), the latter half variation pattern group of the reserved storage number 2 and the latter half of the reserved storage number 4 The big hit expectation is compared with the variation pattern group (step g111k). At this time, the latter half variation pattern group of the reserved storage number 2 is a reach occurrence variation pattern group that generates SP1 reach, and the latter half variation pattern group of the reservation storage number 4 is a reach occurrence variation pattern group that generates SP2 reach. Since the second half variation pattern group of the reserved storage number 4 has a higher expectation degree of jackpot (step g111l; Yes), the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the reserved storage number 2 and the variation pattern determining random number 1 of the reserved storage number 4 are obtained. Replacement (step g111m), as shown in FIG. 24 (2), the latter-half variation pattern group with the reserved storage number 2 is changed to the latter-half variation pattern group 4, and the latter-half variation pattern group with the retention storage number 1 is assigned to the latter-half variation pattern group 3. To.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second embodiment has a plurality of variation pattern determination random number storage means (game control device 30) stored in the variation pattern determination random number storage means (game control device 30). From the variation pattern determination random numbers, a variation pattern determination random number in which the variation pattern group determined by the variation pattern determination random number is a reach occurrence variation pattern group is searched, and the variation pattern determination random number corresponding to the search condition Is the second random number for determining the variation pattern.

  Therefore, by adding a change to the period until the derivation of the special result mode, it is possible to provide unexpectedness and to improve the interest in the game suitably.

  The variation pattern determining random number replacement means executes the variation pattern determining random number search from the variation pattern determining random numbers stored in correspondence with the big hit random number in the winning order in the start winning area. .

  Therefore, by making the player disappointed time as long as possible, the joy when the special result mode is derived can be preferably doubled, and it is surprising by changing the period until the special result mode is derived. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.
