Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  The current mainstream pachinko machine performs lottery using a random number acquired when entering the starting port, and after the identification information is fluctuated for a predetermined time, the identification information is stopped and displayed. Is a predetermined mode, a special game is executed in which a variable winning opening that is normally closed is opened. By the way, in recent years, the necessity of developing a model that is not bound by the conventional type 1 type, type 2 type, type 3 or the like frame has been recognized in order to further improve game playability. However, if it deviates too much from the conventional game playability, it will lead to complication of game play and may be a cause of being shy away from the player. In order to make it easier for players to understand game playability, it is necessary to follow the main parts of the conventional specifications and maintain friendliness, and on this model, a novel game can be realized Development is desired.

  Here, when paying attention to the conventional “pachinko gaming machine having a plurality of first type functions”, regarding the release of the hold state in the gaming machine having the plurality of functions, the identification based on the entrance to one start opening If the information (special symbol / decorative symbol) is changing, the method of waiting for the change of the identification information (special symbol / decorative symbol) based on the ball entering the other start port (series lottery type) and one start Identification information (special symbol / decorative symbol) based on the ball entering the mouth Even if the identification information (special symbol / decorative symbol) is changing A lottery type). Specifically, in the case of the series lottery type, for example, the hold release based on the entry into one start opening and the hold release based on the entry into the other start opening are alternately executed. In accordance with the order of entry into the starting port, the release of the hold based on the entering into one of the starting ports is executed. For example, in the latter case, when a ball enters in the order of the first start port, the second start port, and the second start port, the first special symbol, the second special symbol, and the second special symbol are variably displayed. On the other hand, in the case of the parallel lottery type, the release of the hold based on the entrance to each starting port is the same regardless of the fluctuation of the identification information (special symbol / decorative symbol) based on the entering to the other starting port. It is executed independently in the order of entering the starting port.

First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. And light emission of a light emitting means (for example, a lamp) (including not only the presence / absence of light emission but also a difference in color). The “identification information display unit” includes not only one display unit but also a combination of a plurality of display units (for example, a display and a side lamp). “Easy to win” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in, or a state in which it is easier to flow in compared to a state in which winning is not easy, and “Non-winning states” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or easy to win. It refers to the state where game balls are difficult to flow in compared to the state. Here, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), the open state = easy-to-win state and the closed state = non-easy-to-win state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following conditions, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number).

First, the flow of processing on the main board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, FIG. 4 is a main flowchart showing a flow of general processing performed by the main controller 1000. First, at step 10, the main control device 1000 executes a winning process 10 for performing a process related to winning at a starting port (including an auxiliary game starting port that indirectly contributes) related to special game transition. Next, at step 1200, main controller 1000 executes an electric accessory drive determination execution process described later. Next, at step 14, the main controller 1000 executes a normal game control process described later. Next, in step 1600, main controller 1000 executes a special game control process described later, and proceeds to step 5000. In step 5000, main controller 1000 (especially prize ball payout determining means 1400) transmits a command to prize ball payout control apparatus 3000 based on a winning opening where a game ball has won, and a predetermined number of winning balls. The payout process is performed, and the process returns to step 10 again. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the winning process according to the subroutine of step 10 in FIG. First, in step 1100, the main controller 1000 executes an auxiliary game side random number acquisition process, which will be described later. In step 1300, main controller 1000 executes a main game side random number acquisition process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (an electric accessory drive determination execution process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of auxiliary game side random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the auxiliary game start port entrance determining means 1113 determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflowed or passed through) the auxiliary game start port 2410. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a, and determines whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). . In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 acquires the auxiliary game random number. Then, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol holding means 1133 adds 1 to the hold ball in such a manner that the random number is set in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a together with the order information indicating the number of the hold. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (main game side random number acquisition process in step 1300). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the following process (the main game side random number acquisition process of step 1300).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the main game side random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first main game start port entrance determining means 1111 receives the first main game start port entrance information from the first main game start entrance entrance detection device 2211 of the first main game start port 2210. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a, and whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1305, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 turns off the first main game hold upper limit excess flag in the main game related information temporary storage means 1191. Here, the first main game hold upper limit excess flag is a flag that remains on during a period in which the hold on the first main game side exceeds the upper limit. Will be referred to as appropriate. Next, in step 1306 and step 1308, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 is a first main game random number (first winning random number, first variation mode determination random number, first main game symbol determination random number, etc.) And the first main game side random number is set (held) in the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means 1131a together with the order information indicating how many pieces are held for the first main game symbol. Next, in step 1309, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a, and obtains information on what number of hold is stored for the first main game symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to Step 1310. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1304, in step 1350 (1), the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 executes a first main game hold upper limit excess time process described later, and proceeds to step 1310. In the case of No in step 1302, the process proceeds to step 1310.

  Next, in step 1310, the second main game start opening entrance judging means 1112 receives the second main game start entrance entrance information from the second main game start entrance entrance detecting device 2111 of the second main game start opening 2110. It is determined whether or not it has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and whether or not the hold ball is not the upper limit (for example, 4) Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1315, the second main game random number acquisition determination executing means 1122 turns off the second main game hold upper limit excess flag in the main game related information temporary storage means 1191. Here, the second main game hold upper limit excess flag is a flag that remains on during a period in which the hold on the second main game side exceeds the upper limit. Will be referred to as appropriate. Next, in step 1314 and step 1316, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 receives the second main game random number (second winning random number, second variation mode determination random number, second main game symbol determination random number). In addition to the acquisition, the second main game side random number is set (held) in the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means 1132a together with the order information indicating how many pieces are held for the second main game symbol. Next, in step 1317, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and obtains information as to what number of hold is stored for the second main game symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to the next process (the electric accessory drive determination process in step 1200). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1312, in step 1350 (2), the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 executes the second main game hold upper limit excess time processing described later, and performs the next processing (in step 1200 The process proceeds to the electric accessory driving determination process. In the case of No in step 1310, the process proceeds to the next process (electric accessory drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the first main game (second main game) hold upper limit excess processing related to the subroutines of step 1350 (1) and step 1350 (2) in FIG. Since the processing content of the first main game side and the processing content of the second main game side are substantially the same, the processing content related to the first main game symbol will be described, and the processing content related to the second main game symbol will be described. The description is written in parentheses. First, in step 1352, the upper limit excess hold control means 1134 determines whether or not the first main game hold upper limit excess flag (second main game hold upper limit excess flag) in the main game related information temporary storage means 1191 is off. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1352, in step 1354, the upper limit excess hold control means 1134 turns on the first main game hold upper limit excess flag (second main game hold upper limit excess flag) in the main game related information temporary storage means 1191. To do. Next, in step 1356, the upper limit excess hold control unit 1134 deletes all random number values temporarily stored in the hold upper limit excess random number cumulative temporary storage unit 1134a, and the process proceeds to step 1358. In the case of No in step 1352, the process proceeds to step 1358.

  Next, in step 1358, the upper limit excess hold control means 1134 is based on the random number value temporarily stored in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a). Referring to the first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3), whether or not all the holdings relating to the first main game (second main game) are lost Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1358, in step 1360, the upper limit excess hold control means 1134 is temporarily stored in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a). A random number value different from the random number value temporarily stored in the numerical value and hold upper limit excess random number accumulated temporary storage means 1134a is acquired. Next, in step 1362, the reserved upper limit excess random number cumulative temporary storage means 1134a, based on the obtained random number value, the first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3). , It is determined whether or not the random number value is “winning”. In the case of Yes in step 1362, in step 1364, the hold upper limit excess random number cumulative temporary storage means 1134a is temporarily stored in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a). The random number value related to a specific hold (for example, the fourth hold) is overwritten and updated with the obtained random number value (per random number value), and the next process {Step 1310 (Electric motor of Step 1200) The process proceeds to the accessory driving determination process)}. By configuring in this way, when a game ball enters the start opening exceeding the upper limit of the number of holds related to the first main game (second main game), a specific hold (in this example, 4 The probability that the second hold) will be a random value will be relatively increased. In step 1364, the hold for overwriting and updating the random number value may be arbitrarily set (for example, any one of the first to fourth holds is randomly determined). Further, in step 1358, when all of the hold on the first main game side and the hold on the second main game side are lost random values, the processing after step 1360 is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the process of step 1358 may not be executed. That is, even if there is a random number value for either the first main game side hold or the second main game side hold, the processing after step 1360 may be executed. Further, in Step 1358, it may be configured to determine whether or not the “specific hold of the first (second) main game is a loss”. In other words, if the first main game side hold or the second main game side specific hold results in a random number value, the processing after step 1360 may not be executed.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1362, in step 1366, the hold upper limit excess random number cumulative temporary storage unit 1134a accumulates the acquired random number value (loss random number value) in the hold upper limit excess random number cumulative temporary storage unit 1134a. Temporary storage is performed, and the process proceeds to the next process {step 1310 (electric utility article drive determination process of step 1200)}. In the case of No in step 1358, the process proceeds to the next process {step 1310 (electric utility article drive determination process in step 1200)}.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination execution process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game information temporary storage means 1192a and determines whether or not the electric accessory opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 refers to the auxiliary game information temporary storage means 1192a to determine whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the auxiliary game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1133a and determines whether or not there is a hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol.

Based on the auxiliary game side random number, the winning determination is determined with reference to the electric component release determination lottery table 1135d. Subsequently, the auxiliary game content determination means 1143 determines the auxiliary game stop symbol determination reference table 1143a- based on the determination result. The stop symbol is determined with reference to 1. Next, in step 1210, the auxiliary game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage unit 1192b to acquire the game state information on the auxiliary game side, and then uses the auxiliary game variation mode determination reference table 1143a-. 2, the auxiliary game symbol variation time is determined, and the determined variation time is set in the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1154a-1. In step 1212, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game information temporary storage means 1192a. Next, in step 1214, the auxiliary game symbol holding means 1133 updates the hold information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol, and also assists. The game symbol control means 1154 starts the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1154a-1, and then starts the variation display of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421. Next, in step 1216, the auxiliary game symbol variation time management means 1154a refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1154a-1, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1216, in step 1218, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the auxiliary game content determination means 1143 in step 1208 on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game information temporary storage means 1192a. Next, in step 1222, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1224, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary gaming side gaming state temporary storage means 1192b, acquires the gaming state information on the auxiliary gaming side, and then based on the gaming state. Then, the open time of the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 is determined by referring to the reference table 1163 for determining the opening time of the electric game object, and the open time is set in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192. Next, in step 1226, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game information temporary storage means 1192a. In step 1228, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 opens the second main game start port electric accessory 2112 of the second main game start port 2110.

  Next, in step 1230, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the electric accessory release period management timer 1162, and has reached the end timing of the opening time temporarily stored in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 closes the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second main game start opening 2110. Next, in step 1234, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 turns off the electric accessory releasing flag in the auxiliary game information temporary storage means 1192a, and proceeds to the next process (the normal game control process in step 14).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1230. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1216. If No in Step 1206, Step 1216, Step 1222, and Step 1230, the next process (Step 14) is performed. Normal game control process).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, in step 1800, the game control unit 1100 executes a parallel variation start condition satisfaction determination process described later. Next, at step 1400 (1), the game control means 1100 executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later. Next, in step 1400 (2), the game control means 1100 executes a second main game symbol display process to be described later. In step 1500, the game control unit 1100 executes a parallel special game operation condition determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the parallel variation start condition satisfaction determination process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. First, the purpose of this process is to execute the symbol variation for each of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol at the same time. In particular, one of the main game side is executing a special game. However, the other main game side is configured to execute symbol variation. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, in other words, whether or not the special game related flag on the first main game side is off, in other words. Then, it is determined whether or not the first main game side is executing a special game (special game related to big hit or small hit). If Yes in step 1802, in step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the game related information temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether or not the first main game symbol is currently changing. In the case of Yes in step 1810, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and determines whether or not an undigested hold exists. . In the case of Yes in step 1814, in step 1816, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 determines the variation start permission flag (first main game / second main game information temporary storage related to the first main game symbol in the current digestion order). The first main game symbol variation start permission flag) in the means 1191a is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 1818. If No in step 1802, step 1810, or step 1814, the process proceeds to step 1818.

  Next, in step 1818, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, in other words, whether or not the special game related flag on the second main game side is off. For example, it is determined whether or not the second main game side is executing a special game (special game related to big hit or small hit). In the case of Yes in Step 1818, in Step 1820, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the game related information temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the second main gaming symbol is currently changing. In the case of Yes in Step 1820, in Step 1824, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1132a and determines whether or not an undigested hold exists. . In the case of Yes in step 1824, in step 1826, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 determines the variation start permission flag (first main game / second main game information temporary storage related to the second main game symbol in the current digestion order). The second main game symbol variation start permission flag) in the means 1191a is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process {first main game symbol display process of step 1400 (1)}. In the case of No in step 1818, step 1820, or step 1824, the process proceeds to the next process {first main game symbol display process in step 1400 (1)}.

  Next, FIGS. 12 and 13 are flowcharts of the first main game symbol display process and the second main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is substantially the same on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, unless otherwise specified, the first main game symbol side is mainly described, and the second main game symbol side is described. The design side is written in parentheses. First, in step 1402, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) permits the first main game symbol variation start permission in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a. It is determined whether or not the flag (second main game symbol variation start permission flag) is on. In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a. The game symbol variation start permission flag (second main game symbol variation start permission flag) is turned off.

  Next, in step 1404, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. ) Is temporarily stored, and the first main game random number (second main game random number) related to the current symbol variation is read, and the read random number value is stored in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (first The two main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a) are deleted, and the digestion order of the remaining random number values is shifted. Next, at step 1406, the winning lottery means 1135 determines the first main gaming random number (first winning random number) {second main gaming random number (second winning random number)} and the main gaming state based on the first main gaming state. With reference to the game winning / losing lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game winning / losing lottery table 1135b-3), the main game symbol winning / losing (big hit, small win) lottery is executed. In the present embodiment, the big win and the small lottery are executed in the same lottery table, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the time of winning / not-winning lottery, the big hit lottery is executed with reference to the big hit lottery table first, and when the lottery is shifted to the big hit lottery, the small hit lottery is executed with reference to the small hit lottery table. Good. Further, the small hitting lottery may be executed by referring to the small hitting lottery table first, and the big hitting lottery may be executed even when the small hitting lottery is deviated or hit. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether the lottery result is a win (big hit or small win). In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a determines the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a. The flag {first main game per flag (second main game per flag)} is turned on. On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) first lottery table determination lottery table 1141 a-1 (second main game stop symbol determination lottery table). 1142a-1), the first main game-side random number (for example, the first main game symbol determination random number) {second main game-side random number (for example, the second main game symbol determination random number)}, the winning / failing lottery result and the present Based on the main game state of the game, a stop symbol related to the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) is determined, and the determined stop symbol is temporarily stored in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a. Remember. Next, in step 1413, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) determines the first main game variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second main game variation mode determination lottery). Referring to table 1142a-2), the first main game random number (for example, the first variation mode determination random number) {second main game side random number (for example, the second variation mode determination random number)}, the winning / failing lottery result, the stop symbol Based on the current main game game state and the number of reserved balls, a variation mode relating to the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) is determined, and the determined variation mode is determined as the first main game / second main game information. Temporary storage is performed in the temporary storage unit 1191a. The table to be referred to is determined based on the success / failure result / game state (probability variation game state or time-reduced game state) (and so on). Next, in step 1414, the information transmission means 1300 receives the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) relating to the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) determined in step 1412. It transmits to the production control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first main game symbol variation time management unit 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management unit 1152a) sets the predetermined time {the variation time according to the variation mode determined in step 1412} to the first. It is set in the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1). In step 1418, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) then displays the first main game symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display) of the first main game symbol display device 2130. On the second main game symbol display unit 2231) of the device 2230, in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a, the main game symbol variation display is started and the first The main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1) is started. Next, in step 1420, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) is changing the first main game symbol in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a. The flag (second main game symbol changing flag) is turned on.

  Then, in step 1422, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) is a first main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management). Referring to timer 1152a-1), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (parallel special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152), the first main game symbol display unit 2130 of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol). The change display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display unit 2231) of the display device 2230 is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a is confirmed and stopped. Display control as a symbol.

  Next, in step 1427, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information related to the confirmed stop symbol to the effect control unit 2320. Next, at step 1438, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the first main game per flag (second main game per flag) in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a is on. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control means 1100 turns off the first main game per flag (second main game per flag) in the first main game / second main game information temporary storage means 1191a. To do. Next, in step 1446, the game control unit 1100 turns on the first special game execution permission flag (second special game execution permission flag) in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to step 1428.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1900, the game control unit 1100 executes a parallel special game start condition satisfaction determination process described later. Next, in step 1600 (1), the game control means 1100 executes a first special game execution control process described later. Next, in step 1600 (2), the game control means 1100 executes a second special game execution control process described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the parallel special game start condition satisfaction determination process according to the subroutine of step 1900 in FIG. First, the purpose of this process is to execute a special game in parallel for each of the special game on the first main game side and the special game on the second main game side, as well as the first main game side and the second main game. The configuration is such that the side can avoid starting the round at the same time. First, in step 1902, the first special game control means A 1170 determines whether or not the first special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 is on. In the case of Yes in Step 1902, in Step 1904, the first special game control unit A 1170 determines whether or not the second special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is off. In the case of Yes in step 1904, in step 1908, the first special game control means A1170 turns off the first special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1910, the first special game control means A1170 turns on the first special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1912, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information indicating that the special game related to the first main game is started (first special game start information) to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1922. . On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1904, in step 1906, the first special game control unit A1170 determines whether or not the second special game round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is off. If Yes in step 1906, the process proceeds to step 1908, and if No in step 1906, the process proceeds to step 1922. In the case of No in step 1902, the process proceeds to step 1922.

  Next, in step 1922, the second special game control unit B1170 determines whether or not the second special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1922, in step 1924, the second special game control unit B1170 determines whether or not the first special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is off. In the case of Yes in step 1924, in step 1928, the second special game control means B1170 turns off the second special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1930, the second special game control means B 1170 turns on the second special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1932, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (second special game start information) indicating that the special game related to the second main game is started to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the next process {step 1600 (1) first special game execution control process}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1924, in step 1926, the second special game control unit B1170 determines whether or not the first special game round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is off. If Yes in step 1926, the process proceeds to step 1928. If No in step 1926, the process proceeds to the next process {first special game execution control process in step 1600 (1)}. In the case of No in step 1902, the process proceeds to the next process {first special game execution control process in step 1600 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are flowcharts of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 (1) and step 1600 (2) in FIG. Since this process is substantially the same on the first main game side and the second main game side, unless otherwise specified, the first main game side is mainly described, and the second main game side is Write in parentheses. First, in step 1610, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the first special game execution flag (second special game execution in progress). It is determined whether or not (flag) is ON. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) determines that the execution permission of the first special game (second special game) is not lowered, The process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1612, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the first special game round continuation flag (second special game round). It is determined whether or not the continuation flag) is on, in other words, whether or not the round is being executed. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is being executed, the process proceeds to step 1624 without performing the processes of steps 1613 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when it is just before the start of execution of the round, first, in step 1613, the special winning opening opening waiting control means 1175 is the second special in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. It is determined whether or not the game round continuation flag (first special game round continuation flag) is off. If Yes in step 1613, the process proceeds to step 1614. If No in step 1613, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000). By adopting such a process, in the present embodiment, during execution of a round related to one special game, execution of a round related to the other special game is not started. In other words, in a situation where both special games are configured to be executed simultaneously, it is avoided that the big prize opening relating to one special game and the big prize opening relating to the other special game are simultaneously opened. Thus, for example, in the case where both the big winning openings are arranged apart from each other and it is difficult to enter the game balls into both of the big winning openings at one launch strength. Therefore, it is possible to avoid giving a disadvantage to the player.

  Next, in step 1614, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) is configured to release the temporary pattern temporarily stored in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 (for example, an open pattern that continues to be released, Set the pattern to open and close. Next, in step 1616, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) causes the first special game round number counter (second special game round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194). 1 is added to). Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) determines the first special game round continuation flag (second special game round continuation flag) in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. ) In step 1622, the first special game executing means A 1173 (second special game executing means B 1173) makes the first big prize opening electric accessory 2122 (the second big prize opening 2220 second in the first big prize opening 2220). The first prize winning opening 2120 is driven to open the first prize winning opening 2120 (second prize winning opening 2220), and the process proceeds to Step 1624.

  Next, at step 1624, the information transmission means 1300 transmits information related to the first special game (first special game) being executed to the effect control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1626, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and wins a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. It is determined whether or not there was. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) refers to the first round execution timer A1174a (second round execution timer B1174a). It is determined whether a predetermined time has passed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630. In the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the first special game executing means A1173 (second special game executing means B1173) is the first big prize opening electric accessory 2122 (the second big prize opening 2220 of the first big prize opening 2220). The driving of the second grand prize opening electric accessory 2222) is stopped, and the first big prize opening 2120 (second big prize opening 2220) is closed. In step 1632, the first special game execution means A 1173 (second special game execution means B 1173) resets the first round execution timer A 1174 a (second round execution timer B 1174 a). Next, in step 1634, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) determines the first special game round continuation flag (second special game round continuation flag) in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. ) Off. Next, in step 1636, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and if the round is the final round (for example, a big hit) It is determined whether it is 15 rounds or 1 round if it is a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the first special game execution means A1173 (second special game execution means B1173) determines that the first special game execution flag (second special game execution information in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194). Turn off the game running flag. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission means 1300 transmits special game end information related to the first special game (first special game) to the effect control means 2320 side.

  Next, in step 1642, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the second special game execution flag (first special game execution flag) in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 is off. . In the case of Yes in step 1642, in step 1644, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game-related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and the first main event that triggered this time After obtaining symbol information and game state information relating to the game (second main game), the main game specific state is determined with reference to the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a, and game related information temporary storage means In 1190, the determined main gaming state is set. Next, at step 1646, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game-related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and the first main game (second In addition to acquiring symbol information and game state information relating to the main game), the auxiliary game state is determined with reference to the auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b, and the game related information temporary storage means 1190 determines the determination. The supplementary gaming state thus set is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000). By adopting such a process, in the present embodiment, when one special game is finished, if the other special game is being executed, the process for setting the game state is not executed. That is, in a situation where both special games are configured to be executed simultaneously, when one special game is executed, the main game symbol on the other main game side is always in the normal game state ( The symbol variation is executed under a state in which all flags relating to the main game state and the auxiliary game state are off.

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, FIG. 20 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320.

Migrate to

  Next, the operation in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, FIG. 25 is an operation diagram showing how the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol execute symbol variation in parallel (in parallel), and a special game (first game on the first main game side) It is an operation | movement figure which shows a mode that the special game (2nd special game) and the 2nd main game side special game (2nd special game) are performed simultaneously (parallel).

  First, at the timing of 1 in the figure, the game ball has entered the first main game start port 2210 (1) under the situation that the game is progressing while firing the game ball toward the left side of the game area 120. As a trigger, symbol variation of the first main game symbol is started. Here, the symbol variation is a symbol variation scheduled to be stopped and displayed at the winning symbol “7A”.

  Next, at the timing of 2 in the figure, the symbol variation of the first main game symbol ends, and the winning symbol “7A” is stopped and displayed. Then, the execution of the first special game is started, and the opening / closing operation of the first grand prize winning opening 2120 is repeatedly executed.

  Next, at the timing of 3 in the figure, the first special game ends, and it enters a specific gaming state (main game symbol probability change flag = on, main game symbol time reduction flag = on, auxiliary game symbol time reduction flag = on). Transition. Here, at this timing, the game progresses while firing the game ball toward the right side of the game area 120. As a result, the first main game start port 2210 (2), the second main game start port 2110, and the auxiliary game start A game ball is easily guided to the mouth 2410. Therefore, when a game ball enters the first main game start port 2210 (2) and the second main game start port 2110, the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol are simultaneously used as a trigger. The symbol variation will be started in parallel.

  Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the symbol variation of the second main game symbol ends, and the winning symbol “7B” is stopped and displayed. Then, the execution of the second special game is started, and the opening / closing operation of the second big prize opening 2220 is repeatedly executed. Here, at this timing, the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is being executed, but the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is forcibly stopped, paused, or related to the symbol variation. The execution of the symbol variation is continued without forcibly changing the lottery result to lose. As a result, when the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is a symbol variation scheduled to be stopped and displayed in the winning symbol, when the symbol variation of the first main game symbol ends, the second special game The execution of the first special game is started in spite of being executed.

  Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, the second special game is finished, and the specific game state again (main game symbol probability change flag = on, main game symbol time reduction flag = on, auxiliary game symbol time reduction flag = on) Migrate to Under such circumstances, at the timing of 6 in the figure, the symbol variation of the first main game symbol and the symbol variation of the second main game symbol are simultaneously ended, and the first special game and the second special game are simultaneously started. Yes. That is, when the first grand prize opening 2120 and the second big prize opening 2220 are opened at the same time, it is in a situation where it is difficult to enter one of the big prize openings. Under such circumstances, in the present embodiment, the first grand prize winning port 2120 and the second grand prize winning port 2220 are controlled not to be opened simultaneously. That is, at the timing of 6 in the figure, the first big prize opening 2120 is first opened, while the second big prize opening 2220 is maintained in a closed state, and a game ball is launched toward the left side of the game area 120 while playing a game. Is informed to proceed. Then, at the timing of 7 in the figure, when the closing condition of the first big prize opening 2120 is satisfied, the first big prize opening 2120 is closed, while the second big prize opening 2220 is opened and the game area 120 is opened. It is notified that the game proceeds while firing the game ball toward the right side. Further, at the timing of 8 in the figure, when the closing condition of the second big prize opening 2220 is satisfied, the second big prize opening 2220 is closed, while the first big prize opening 2120 is opened, and the game area 120 is also opened. The game is informed to advance while the game ball is launched toward the left side of the game.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol can be executed independently and simultaneously, and the symbol variation can be executed simultaneously. Based on the above, the first special game and the second special game can be executed concurrently. In addition, as in the present embodiment, when the first grand prize opening 2120 and the second grand prize opening 2220 are simultaneously opened, it is configured so that it is difficult to enter one of the big prize openings. In such a case, it is configured so that it is possible to control the opening of the prize winning openings alternately and to notify which of the prize winning openings should be aimed at, thereby giving a disadvantage to the player. You can avoid the situation.

  Next, at the timing of 9 in the figure, the first special game related to the symbol “7A” is ended under the situation where the second special game is being executed. Here, at this timing, although it is at the end of the special game related to the “7A” symbol, it is controlled not to shift to the specific game state. Then, at the timing of 10 in the figure, the transition to the specific gaming state is triggered by the end of the second special game related to the “7B” symbol.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when at least one special game of the first special game or the second special game is being executed, the first main game symbol or the first game game started during the period of execution is being executed. The symbol variation of the two main game symbols is guaranteed to be the symbol variation in the non-specific gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, when at least one of the first special game or the second special game is being executed, the first main game symbol started during the execution period of the special game or The symbol variation of the second main game symbol is configured to be guaranteed to be the symbol variation in the non-specific gaming state, but is not limited to this. In that case, (1) the game state on the first main game side and the game state on the second main game side are controlled as different game states (for example, on the first main game side, the first main game side The game state is controlled by the game symbol probability change flag and the first main game symbol time reduction flag, and on the second main game side, the game state is controlled by the second main game symbol change flag and the second main game symbol time reduction flag. (2) In the variation of the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol started in the period during which the special game is being executed, the game state scheduled to shift at the end of the special game And the like, and the symbol variation is executed based on the pre-read gaming state.

(Modification 1)
The basic structure on the front side of the pachinko gaming machine as shown in FIG. 1 of the present embodiment is not limited at all. Hereinafter, a modification example in this case will be referred to as a modification example 1, and only changes from the present embodiment will be described.

  First, FIG. 26 shows a basic structure on the front side of a pachinko gaming machine according to the first modification of the present embodiment. The changes from the present embodiment are the arrangement of the first main game start port 2210, the second main game start port 2110, the first big winning port 2120, the second big winning port 2220, and the auxiliary game starting port 2410. That is, the game balls flowing down the left side of the game area 120 (referenced to the center of the game area) are the first main game start port 2210, the second main game start port 2110, the first big prize winning port 2120, the second It is configured to be easily guided to all of the big prize opening 2220 and the auxiliary game start opening 2410.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of parallel special game start condition satisfaction determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1900 of FIG. 16 in the first modification of the present embodiment. The change from this embodiment is that the processing of step 1904, step 1906, step 1924, and step 1926 does not exist. By configuring in this way, the special game of either the first special game or the second special game can be executed without depending on the other special game execution state (execution-related flag state) at all. Will be able to start.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 (1) and step 1600 (2) in FIG. 16 in the first modification of the present embodiment. The change from this embodiment is that the processing of step 1613 (1) and step 1613 (2) does not exist. By configuring in this way, regardless of whether one of the first big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220 is performing the opening control, the other big prize opening is opened. Control execution can be started.

  By making the above changes, when the first special game and the second special game are started almost simultaneously at the timing of 6 in the diagram related to the action diagram shown in FIG. 25, the first big prize opening 2120 And the second grand prize opening 2220 are controlled to be opened substantially simultaneously. Accordingly, by proceeding with the game while firing the game ball toward the left side of the game area 120, it becomes easy to enter both the first grand prize port 2120 and the second grand prize port 2220. That is, when the contents of the first special game and the contents of the second special game are the same, the player can recognize that he has won twice the prize ball, so that the interest of the game is improved. It can be done.

  Also, the changes from this embodiment are for Step 1644-2 (Modification 1) and Step 1646-2 (Modification 1). That is, in the case of No in Step 1642 (Variation 1), in other words, when one special game is finished and the other special game is being executed, the transition is scheduled at the end of the other special game. The game state that is is read ahead and set. Therefore, the symbol variation immediately after the end of the one special game is a symbol variation based on the pre-read gaming state.

  By configuring in this way, it is possible to avoid giving a disadvantage to the player when a hit (in this example, a small hit) that does not change the gaming state occurs. Here, in this embodiment, for example, when a special game related to the transition to the main game probability change game state (in this example, a special game related to “7A, 7B”) is completed on one main game side. When the other main game side is executing a special game related to the small hit (in this example, a special game related to “2A, 2B”), the special game related to the small hit is being executed. Therefore, it is assumed that the game state does not shift to the main game probability change game state (see Steps 1642 to 1646 in FIGS. 18 and 19). However, such a situation can be avoided by changing as described above.
