The main control unit 300 sends commands and the like to the first sub-control unit 400 and the payout control unit 600. The first sub control unit 400 and the payout control unit 600 are configured such that signals such as commands cannot be transmitted to the main control unit 300.

  Next, the first sub control unit 400 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a basic circuit 402 that controls the entire first sub-control unit 400 mainly based on commands transmitted from the main control unit 300.

The ROM 406 may store the control program and various effect data in separate ROMs.

  Next, the second sub control unit 500 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a basic circuit 502 that receives the control command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400 via the input interface and controls the entire second sub-control unit 500 based on the control command.

  Next, the payout control unit 600, the launch control unit 630, and the power supply control unit 660 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described. The payout control unit 600 controls the payout motor 602 of the payout device 152 mainly based on a command signal or the like transmitted from the main control unit 300, and a prize ball or a rental ball based on a control signal output from the payout sensor 604 It is detected whether or not the payout has been completed, and communication with a card unit 608 provided separately from the pachinko machine 100 is performed via the interface unit 606.

In the present embodiment, a predetermined voltage is supplied from the power supply control unit 660 to the payout control unit 600 and the second sub control unit 500, and the main control unit 300, the second sub control unit 500, and the launch control unit are supplied from the payout control unit 600. Although a predetermined voltage is supplied to 630, the predetermined voltage may be supplied to each control unit and each device through another power supply path.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C, the special figure 1 display device 212, the special figure 2 display device 214, the decorative symbol display device 208, and the universal figure display device 210 of the pachinko machine 100 are stopped and displayed. The types of figures and ordinary drawings will be described. Fig.5 (a) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of a special figure. The special figure 1 variable game is started on the condition that the first start port sensor detects that the ball has entered the special figure 1 start opening 230, and the special figure 2 start opening 232 indicates that the ball has entered 2 The special figure 2 variable game is started on condition that the start sensor is detected. When the special figure 1 variable game is started, the special figure 1 display device 212 performs “variable display of special figure 1” which repeats lighting of all seven segments and lighting of one central segment. When the special figure 2 variable game is started, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs “variable display of special figure 2” by repeating all lighting of the seven segments and lighting of the central one segment. . These “variation display of special figure 1” and “variation display of special figure 2” correspond to an example of the symbol fluctuation display in the present embodiment. When the fluctuation time determined before the fluctuation start of the special figure 1 (corresponding to the fluctuation time in the present embodiment) elapses, the special figure 1 display device 212 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 1, When the variation time determined before the start of the variation 2 (this also corresponds to the variation time in the present embodiment) has elapsed, the special figure 2 display device 214 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special illustration 2. Therefore, from the start of “figure display of special figure 1” until the stop symbol form of special figure 1 is stopped, or after the start of “fluctuation display of special figure 2”, the stop symbol form of special figure 2 is displayed. Until stop display corresponds to an example of the symbol variation stop display referred to in the present embodiment, hereinafter, after the “variable display of special figure 1 or 2” is started, the stop symbol form of special figure 1 or 2 is stopped and displayed. A series of displays until this is done is referred to as symbol variation stop display. As will be described later, the symbol variation stop display may be continuously performed a plurality of times.

  FIG. 5A shows ten types of special drawings from “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure J” as the stop symbol forms in the symbol variation stop display. In FIG. 5A, the white portions in the figure indicate the segment locations where the light is turned off, and the black portions indicate the location where the segments are turned on. "Special Figure A" and "Special Figure B" are 15 round (15R) special jackpot symbols. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, as will be described later, the determination as to whether or not the big hit in the special figure variable game is made by lottery of hardware random numbers, and the decision as to whether or not it is a special big hit is made by lottery of software random numbers. After the 15R special jackpot game ends, the state shifts to a state where the probability of winning the jackpot is high (special figure high probability state). In addition, a state with a low probability of winning a jackpot is referred to as a special figure low probability state. In addition, after the 15R special big hit game is over, it shifts to an electric support state (sometimes referred to as a short time state). Although the electric support state will be described in detail later, the state that shifts to the electric support state is referred to as a normal high probability state, and the state that does not shift to the electric support state is referred to as a normal low probability state. “Special figure A” and “special figure B” which are 15R special jackpot symbols are special figure high probability ordinary figure high probability states. These “special chart A” and “special chart B” are symbols that have a relatively high degree of advantage over the player.

  "Special figure C" is a 15R jackpot symbol called sudden probability change, and is a special figure high probability ordinary figure high probability state. After the 15R big hit game is over, the game shifts to the electric support state. Compared to "Special Figure A" and "Special Figure B", which are 15R special big hits, "Special Figure C" has a different time interval for opening and closing the door member 234a. In the jackpot game started after the 15R special jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the door member 234a is opened and closed with an opening time of 29 seconds and a closing time of 1.5 seconds, for example. On the other hand, in the jackpot game started after the 15R jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the door member 234a is opened and closed with an opening time of 0.1 seconds and a closing time of 0.1 seconds, for example.

  “Special figure D” is a 2R jackpot symbol called initial hidden probability variation (hereinafter, “hidden probability variation” may be referred to as “latent probability variation”), and is a special diagram high probability normal diagram low probability state. Compared to “Special Figure C”, which is a 15R jackpot symbol, in the jackpot game that starts after “Special Figure D” is stopped and displayed, the door member 234a is opened and closed twice (2R). . “Special Figure E” and “Special Figure F” are 2R jackpot symbols called hidden probability changes, and are in a special figure high probability normal figure low probability state. These “special drawing D”, “special drawing E”, and “special drawing F” are all 2R and are not in the state of transition to the electric support state. However, “Special Figure D” will not enter the electric support state after the first (first) “Special Figure D” jackpot game, but will win the “Special Figure D” jackpot again in the hidden probability change state. The control state of the pachinko machine 100 after the end of the big hit game related to the second “special drawing D” becomes a special figure high probability common figure high probability state and shifts to the electric support state. In addition, when one of “Special Figure E” and “Special Figure F” is won during the electric support, the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is maintained in the electric support state. In the case of winning the big hit of either “Special Figure E” or “Special Figure F” during non-electric support that is not in the electric support state, the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is set to the hidden probability changing state.

  After the jackpot of “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure C” is finished, the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is always in a special figure high probability common figure high probability state (hereinafter referred to as “electric support certain change state”). It shifts and the electric support state is maintained until 100 special figure variation games are executed thereafter. However, in the 100 special figure variation games, if the big wins of “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure F” are won, the control state after the big hit game will be a gaming state that is not disadvantageous for the player. It is controlled. For example, if the 10th special figure variable game is won for the 2R jackpot of “Special Figure E”, after the 2R jackpot game is over, the electric support is given until the 100th special figure variable game is executed. The special drawing lottery probability is high. In other words, in the electric support state, even if any of the big wins is won, 100 electric support states will be given after the big hit gaming state ends.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment has a falling lottery function (details will be described later), and when winning a big hit of any of “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure F”, it will enter the special figure with a probability of 100%. Therefore, there is no special jackpot special symbol whose control state becomes a special chart low probability after the jackpot game ends.

  “Special figure G” is the first small hit symbol, and “Special figure H” is the second small hit symbol, both of which are in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state. The small hit here is equivalent to the big hit without 2R electric support. That is, the “special drawing G” and “special drawing H” are in the same state as the “special drawing E” and “special drawing F”, but the effects displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 are different. Even in the same state, by providing “special drawing G”, “special drawing H”, “special drawing E”, and “special drawing F”, the interest of the game is enhanced.

  In addition, “Special Figure I” is a first off symbol, and “Special Figure J” is a second off symbol, which is a symbol that is relatively less advantageous to the player. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, symbols other than “Special Illustration A” are prepared as 15R special jackpot symbols, and the same applies to other symbols such as 15R jackpot symbols.

  FIG. 5B shows an example of a decorative design. There are 10 types of decoration patterns of the present embodiment: “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 10”. The first start port sensor detects that a ball has won the special figure 1 starting port 230 or the special figure 2 starting port 232, that is, the ball has entered the special figure 1 starting port 230, or the special figure 2 Each of the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display area 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 is provided on the condition that the second start port sensor detects that a ball has entered the start port 232. In the symbol display area, “decoration 1” → “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... “Decoration 9” → “decoration 10” → “decoration 1” →. “Change design of symbols”.

  When notifying the 15R special big hit (probable big hit) of “special drawing A” or “special drawing B”, a combination of symbols in which the same three decorative symbols are arranged in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c (for example, “decoration 1” (Decoration 1 -decoration 1), "decoration 2 -decoration 2 -decoration 2", "decoration 3 -decoration 3 -decoration 3", "decoration 7 -decoration 7 -decoration 7", etc.) are stopped and displayed.

  Further, when a 2R jackpot called “sudden change” of “special drawing C” is notified, “decoration 3—decoration 5—decoration 7” is stopped and displayed. Furthermore, the first hidden probability variation of “Special Figure D”, the 2R big hit called “Hidden probability variation of“ Special Figure E ”and“ Special Figure F ”, or the first small hit of“ Special Figure G ”,“ Special Figure H ” When the second small hit is notified, “decoration 1—decoration 2—decoration 3”, “decoration 2—decoration 3—decoration 4” or “decoration 3—decoration 4—decoration 5” is stopped.

  On the other hand, when notifying the first deviation of “Special Figure I” and the second deviation of “Special Figure J”, the symbol combinations other than the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 5B are stopped in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. indicate.

  FIG.5 (c) shows an example of the usual stop display symbol. In the present embodiment, there are two types of stoppage display modes of “normal map A”, which is a winning symbol, and “general symbol B”, which is a missed symbol. Based on the fact that the above-mentioned gate sensor has detected that the sphere has passed through the general start port 228, the general map display device 210 repeats the lighting of all seven segments and the lighting of one central segment. Perform a “normal change display”. Then, when notifying the winning of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure A” is stopped and displayed, and when notifying the deviation of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure B” is stopped and displayed. Also in FIG.5 (c), the white part in a figure shows the location of the segment which light-extinguishes, and the black-colored part has shown the location of the segment which lights up.

  Next, main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit. As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal has been input performs reset start by a reset interrupt, and executes the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  In step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In the initial setting 1, the stack initial value is set in the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304 (temporary setting), the interrupt mask is set, the I / O 310 is initialized, the various variables stored in the RAM 308 are initialized, and the WDT 314 is set. Allow operation, set initial values, etc. In the present embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 314 as an initial value.

  In step S103 following step S101, the value of the counter of WDT 314 is cleared, and the time measurement by WDT 314 is restarted. In step S105 following step S103, whether or not the low voltage signal is on, that is, the voltage value of the power supply that the voltage monitoring circuit 338 supplies from the power supply control unit 660 to the main control unit 300 is a predetermined value. It is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has decreased when the voltage is less than (9 V in this embodiment). Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply is cut off), the process returns to step S103, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the CPU 304 does not detect that the power supply is cut off), the step returns. The process proceeds to S107. Even when the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S103, and step S105 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S107, initial setting 2 is performed. In the initial setting 2, a process for setting a numerical value for determining a cycle for executing a main control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, in the counter timer 312, a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, a second output port, etc.) 1) a process of outputting a clear signal from the output port 1), a setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like.

  In step S109 subsequent to step S107, it is determined whether or not to return to the state before the power interruption (before power interruption). In the case of initializing), the process proceeds to initialization processing (step S113). Specifically, first, a RAM clear signal transmitted when a store clerk or the like of an amusement store operates the RWM clear switch 180 provided on the power supply board is turned on (indicates that there has been an operation). That is, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear is necessary. If the RAM clear signal is on (when the RAM clear is necessary), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is OFF (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the power status information stored in the power status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the power status information is information indicating suspend. It is determined whether or not. If the power status information is not information indicating suspend, the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to an initial state. If the power status information is information indicating suspend, a predetermined area of the RAM 308 is set. A checksum is calculated by adding all the 1-byte data stored in (for example, all areas) to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0, and the calculated checksum results in a specific value (for example, 0) (whether or not the checksum result is normal). When the checksum result is a specific value (eg, 0) (when the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step S111 to return to the state before the power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state. Similarly, when the power status information indicates information other than “suspend”, the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S111, power recovery processing is performed. In this power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read out and reset to the stack pointer (this setting). In addition, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out and reset in each register, and then the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and registers, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state when the power is turned off. That is, the processing is resumed from the instruction next to the instruction (predetermined in step S115) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt process (described later) immediately before the power interruption. A RAM 308 mounted on the basic circuit 302 in the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a transmission information storage area. In step S111, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. This power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been restored to the state at the time of power-off, and is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300 described later.

  In step S113, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer (this setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, here, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal return command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step S113) of the main control unit 300 has been performed, and in the same way as the power recovery command, in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, 1 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400.

  In step S115 subsequent to step S113, the basic random number initial value updating process is performed after setting the interrupt prohibition. In this basic random number initial value update process, when it is determined whether or not a big hit or a small hit is determined whether or not it is a hit or not, the special figure determining randomness for a hit used for a lottery for determining a stop symbol in a special figure variable game is determined. Initial value generation random number counter for generating an initial value of the hit special figure determination random number counter for generating a numerical value (hereinafter referred to as "initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the hit special figure determination random number counter") Is updated). In addition, a random lot counter for determining whether or not a falling lottery is used to generate a random value for determining whether or not a falling lottery is used for a falling lottery that determines whether or not to fall into a special figure low probability state before determining whether or not the special figure is highly probable An initial value generation random number counter for generating an initial value (hereinafter, referred to as an “initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the falling lottery selection determination random number counter”) is updated. Furthermore, an initial value generation random number counter (hereinafter, “corresponding to the“ normal figure winning random number counter ”) for generating the initial value of the universal winning random number counter for generating the winning random number value used for determining whether or not the normal game variable game is successful. "Initial value generation random number counter"). For example, if the range of values that can be taken as the random number value for determining the hit special figure is 0 to 99, the value is stored from the initial value generating random number counter storage area corresponding to the random number counter for determining the special figure for winning provided in the RAM 308 Acquire, add 1 to the acquired value, and store in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 100, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Similarly, the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the falling lottery selection randomness counter and the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the ordinary winning random number counter are also updated. Note that the initial value generating random number counters corresponding to the winning special figure determining random number counter, the falling lottery determination random number counter, and the ordinary winning random number counter are also updated in step S207 described later. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S115 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

  Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process. The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed. In step S203 following step S201, the WDT is set so that the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial set value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) and no WDT interrupt occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). It is restarted periodically (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms, which is the main controller timer interrupt period).

  In step S205 subsequent to step S203, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of various sensors 320 including the above-mentioned front frame door open sensor, inner frame open sensor, lower pan full sensor, and various ball detection sensors are input via the input port of the I / O 310. The input is monitored for the presence or absence of a detection signal, and stored in a signal state storage area provided for each of the various sensors 320 in the RAM 308. If the detection signal of the sphere detection sensor is described as an example, information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected in the timer interruption process (about 4 ms before) is stored in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the previous detection signal storage area partitioned for each sphere detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt processing (about 2 ms before) ) Is read from the current detection signal storage area provided for each sphere detection sensor in the RAM 308, and this information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area described above. To remember. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  Further, in step S205, the information on the presence or absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the above-mentioned detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether or not the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor matches the winning determination pattern information. This main control unit timer interrupt process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes one ball detection sensor is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interrupt process is activated, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed in step S205. As a result, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is stored in each of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area. That is, when the game ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal before, a previous detection signal, and a current detection signal. In the present embodiment, in consideration of erroneous detection of the sphere detection sensor and noise, it is determined that there is a prize when the detection signal is stored twice continuously after no detection signal. The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 stores winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is no previous detection signal, that there is a previous detection signal, and that there is a current detection signal). In step S205, information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in each sphere detection sensor is predetermined winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, no previous detection signal, previous detection signal, current detection signal present). If there is a match with the general winning opening 226, the variable winning opening 234, the special figure 1 starting opening 230, and the special figure 2 starting opening 232, or the normal figure starting opening 228 is passed. Judge that there was. In other words, it is determined that a prize has been awarded to the winning ports 226 and 234 and the starting ports 230, 232, and 228. For example, when the information on the presence / absence of the detection signals for the past three matches with the above-described winning determination pattern information in the general winning opening sensor for detecting the winning at the general winning opening 226, there is a winning at the general winning opening 226. If the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the subsequent general winnings are performed. The process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with winning the prize to the mouth 226. Note that the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is a detection signal before the previous time, no previous detection signal, and no current detection signal). After it is determined that there has been a single win, it is not determined that there has been a win until the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times matches the winning determination clear pattern information in each ball detection sensor, and the winning determination is cleared. If it matches the pattern information, it is next determined whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information.

In step S207 following step S205 and in step S209 subsequent thereto, basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing are performed. In the basic random number initial value update process of step S207, initial value generation random numbers respectively corresponding to the winning special figure determining random number counter, the falling lottery determination random number counter and the ordinary winning random number counter performed in step S115 above. The counter is updated, and in the next basic random number update process of step S209, the special figure determining random number counter for hitting, the falling lottery determination random number counter and the common figure winning random number counter used in the main control unit 300 are updated. Is done. For example, assuming that the range of values that can be taken as random numbers for determining a special figure for hitting is 0 to 99, a random number counter for determining a special figure for hitting provided in the RAM 308 in order to generate a random number for determining a special figure for hitting hours Is obtained, and 1 is added to the obtained value, which is then stored in the original random number counter for determining a hit special figure. At this time, if the result obtained by adding 1 to the obtained value is 100, 0 is stored in the original random number counter for determining a hit time special figure. In addition, when it is determined as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value that the winning-time special figure determining random number counter makes a round, the initial value generating random number counter corresponding to the winning special figure determining random number counter Is set in the random counter for determining the special figure for winning hour. For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for hitting special figure determination that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 99, and a result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in the RAM 308. If the value is equal to the previously set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as an initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the random number counter for determining the winning hour figure, and The initial value set this time is stored in the above-described initial value storage area in order to set the figure-determining random number counter and to determine that the winning-time special figure determining random number counter has made one round next.
In addition to the initial value storage area for determining that the winning special figure determining random number counter has made one round next, the falling lottery determination random number counter and the common figure winning random number counter each make one round. An initial value storage area for determining whether or not this has occurred is provided in the RAM 308, and these counters are also updated by a method similar to that for the random number counter for determining a special figure for winning hour. The hit special figure determining random number counter may be provided with a counter for acquiring the random value for special figure 1 and a counter for acquiring the random value for special figure 2 or the same. The counter may be used.

  In step S211 following step S209, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number update process, a random number counter for generating an effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated. Specifically, the special figure timer number determination random number counter for generating the special figure timer number determination random number value for determining the symbol variation time in the special figure variation game is updated. In addition, a random number counter for determining a general timer number for generating a random number value for determining a general timer number for determining a symbol variation time in the general variable game is updated.

  In step S213 following step S211, timer update processing is performed. In this timer update process, the time for displaying and changing the symbol on the special symbol display device 212 and the time for displaying and changing the symbol on the special symbol display device 212 are counted. Special figure 1 display symbol update timer, Special figure 2 display symbol update timer for measuring the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the special figure 2 display device 214, a predetermined winning effect time, a predetermined opening time, a predetermined time Various timers including a timer for counting the closing time, a predetermined end effect period, and the like are updated.

  In step S215 subsequent to step S213, a winning opening counter updating process is performed. In this winning opening counter updating process, when winning holes 226, 234 and starting holes 230, 232, 228 are won, the RAM 308 stores the winning ball number storage area provided for each winning hole or for each starting hole. The value is read out, 1 is added, and the original prize ball number storage area is set.

  In step S217 following step S215, a winning acceptance process is performed. In this winning acceptance process, it is determined whether or not there has been a winning at the special figure 1 starting port 230, the special figure 2 starting port 232, the ordinary drawing starting port 228 and the variable winning port 234. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S205.

  If there is a winning at the special figure 1 starting port 230 and the corresponding special figure 1 reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full (in this example, the full number is 4), the random number value generation circuit (Hard Random Number Circuit) A random number value for hit determination generated by performing predetermined processing on the value stored in the built-in counter value storage register corresponding to the starting port 230 of the special figure 1 of 318 is obtained and provided in the RAM 308. The hit special figure determining random value is obtained from the hit special figure determining random number counter and stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area in the order of acquisition. Special figure 1 random number value for determining hit and random number value for determining special figure for winning hour (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1 random value group" or "special figure 1 start information") Are stored for the same number as the number of reserved special figure 1 stored in the special figure 1 reserved number storage area. Further, when acquiring a set of special figure 1 random number values, a random number value for determining special lottery 1 lottery winning determination is obtained from a random lot counter for determining whether the special lottery rolls 1 is provided in the RAM 308 and a random value storage area for special figure 1 falling lottery. In order of acquisition. In the special figure 1 random value storage area and the special figure 1 falling lottery random value storage area, the holding rank is the highest each time the special figure 1 holding number is reduced by 1 (the first and most recently stored). The special figure 1 random number value data and the special figure 1 falling lottery determination random number value data are deleted, and the remaining special figure 1 random value value random data and the special figure 1 falling lottery validity judgment disturbance Processing is performed so that the hold order of numerical data is incremented by one. Each time the special figure 1 holding number increases by one, the new special figure 1 random value set data is added to the next holding order of the special figure 1 random value set data having the lowest (last) holding order. The data of the new special figure 1 falling lottery determination random number value is written in the next holding rank of the data of the random number value for determination of the special figure 1 falling lottery winning / rejecting determination having the lowest (last) holding order.

  When the special figure 2 starting port 232 is won and the corresponding special figure 2 reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full (in this example, the reserved number 4 is full), the random value generation circuit A random number value for hit determination generated by performing predetermined processing on the value stored in the built-in counter value storage register corresponding to the start port 232 of the special figure 2 of 318 is acquired, and the hit time special feature provided in the RAM 308 is acquired. The random number value for hit special figure determination is acquired from the random number counter for figure determination and stored in the special figure 2 random value storage area in the order of acquisition. Special figure 2 random number value for determining hit and random number value for determining special figure for winning time (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2 random value group" or "special figure 2 start information") Are stored for the same number as the number of reserved special figure 2 stored in the special figure 2 reserved number storage area. Further, when acquiring a set of special figure 2 random value, a random value for falling lottery determination determination random number value is acquired from a falling lottery determination random number counter provided in the RAM 308 and stored in a special drawing 2 falling lottery random value storage area in the order of acquisition. Store. In the special figure 2 random value storage area and the special figure 2 falling lottery random value storage area, each time the special figure 2 holding number decreases by one, the data of the special figure 2 random value set and the special figure having the highest holding order The data of the random number value for determining whether or not the two-fall lottery is determined is erased, and the holding order of the data of the remaining special figure 2 random value group and the data of the special figure 2 random number value for determining whether or not the lottery is selected is incremented by one. It is processed. Also, each time the special figure 2 holding number increases by one, the new special figure 2 random value set data is written to the next holding order of the special figure 2 random value set data having the lowest holding order, The new special figure 2 falling lottery determination random number value data is written in the next holding rank of the special figure 2 falling lottery determination random number value data having the lowest holding order (last).

  If there is a winning at the general figure starting port 228 and the corresponding reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the value is acquired from the random number counter for generating the normal figure winning random number value as the normal figure winning random number value. Stored in the random number storage area. When there is a winning at the variable winning opening 234, information indicating that a ball has entered the variable winning opening 234 is stored in the winning storage area for the variable winning opening.

  In step S219 following step S217, a payout request number transmission process is performed. Note that the output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 600 are composed of, for example, 1 byte, strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 6 Power-on information (if turned on, indicates that this is the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4-5 indicate the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 indicate encryption The number of payout requests after processing is shown.

  In step S221 following step S219, a normal state update process is performed. This normal state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the normal state. For example, in the general diagram state update process in the middle of the normal map change display (the value of the above-mentioned general map display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7 segment LED constituting the general map display device 210 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the general map display device 210 performs normal variable display (normal map variable game).

  Also, in the general state update process at the timing when the normal map change display time has elapsed (the timing at which the value of the general map display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), When the 7-segment LED constituting the general-purpose display device 210 is turned on / off to control the display mode, and the normal-map hit flag is off, the general-purpose display is displayed so that the display mode of the off symbol is displayed. The 7 segment LED constituting the device 210 is controlled to be turned on / off. Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a setting area for performing various settings in various processes, not limited to the normal state update process. Here, the above-described lighting / extinguishing drive control is performed, and the setting area is set to indicate that the normal stop display is being performed. By performing this control, the universal symbol display device 210 determines one of the winning symbols (common symbol A shown in FIG. 5 (c)) and the off symbol (general symbol B shown in FIG. 5 (c)). Display. After that, information indicating the stop period is set in a storage area of a normal stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, for 500 milliseconds (ms)). With this setting, the symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the player is notified of the result of the normal game.

  Further, if the result of the usual figure variable game is a hit, the usual figure hit flag is turned on as will be described later. When the usual figure hit flag is on, in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (when the usual figure stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), A normal operation is set in the setting area, and a predetermined open period (for example, 2 seconds), a solenoid for driving to open / close the blade member 232a of the special opening 2 232 (a part of various solenoids 332), A signal for holding 232a in the open state is output, and information indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the blade open time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  In the usual state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the value of the blade opening time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the blade member has a predetermined closing period (for example, 500 milliseconds). A signal for holding the blade member in the closed state is output to the opening / closing drive solenoid 332, and information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the blade closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the normal state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period ends (when the value of the blade closing time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the non-operating state is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. To do. Further, if the result of the usual figure variation game is out of place, the usual figure hit flag is turned off as will be described later. In the case where the usual figure hit flag is off, even in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (when the value of the usual figure stop time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, normal operation inactive is set. In the general state update process in the case where the general map is not operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S223.

  In step S223, a general drawing related lottery process is performed. In this general map-related lottery process, the open / close control of the general map variable game and the special map 2 start port 232 is not performed (the state of the general map is inactive), and the number of the general map variable games that are on hold When the number is 1 or more, it is determined whether or not the result of the usual figure variation game is won or not by the random lottery based on the usual figure winning random number value stored in the above random number value storage area. When a winning determination is made and the winning combination is made, ON is set to the common winning flag provided in the RAM 308. In the case of unsuccessful election, the flag for the usual figure is set to OFF. Regardless of the result of the hit determination, next, the value of the random number counter for generating the normal figure timer random value is acquired as the normal figure timer random number value, and a plurality of fluctuation times are obtained based on the acquired general figure timer random number value. One time is selected for variably displaying the normal map on the general map display device 210, and this variable display time is stored as a normal map variable display time in a general map variable time storage area provided in the RAM 308. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the usual figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending custom figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure number-of-holds storage area. Also, the random number value used for the hit determination is deleted.

  In step S224 following step S223, special figure prefetching processing is performed. In the special figure pre-reading process, if there is a prize at the special figure 1 starting slot 230 or the special figure 2 starting slot 232, the starting information related to the holding increased due to the prize is pre-read, and whether the falling lottery is successful or the special figure variable game is stopped. A symbol or the like is determined in advance before the determination of success or failure in the special drawing related lottery process. The flow of the special figure prefetching process will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  Next, the special figure state update process for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is performed. First, the special figure state update process (the special figure 2 state update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S225). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following plural (in this example, nine) processes is performed according to the special figure 2 state.

  For example, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing of the special figure 2 fluctuation start, a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the special figure 2 holding number stored in the special figure 2 holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is shown in FIG. Re-store in the reserved number storage area. At the same time, the blinking of the special figure 2 holding lamp 220 is controlled. For example, if the four LEDs of the special figure 2 holding lamp 220 in FIG. 3 are LED numbers 1-4 in order from the left to the right in the figure, the LEDs corresponding to the special figure 2 holding number are red, for example, in order from the smallest LED number. Turn on and turn off the others.

  Also, for example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the special figure 2 display symbol update timer described above is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the special figure 2 display device 214 is turned on. Performs lighting / extinguishing drive control that repeatedly turns off. By performing this control, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs the special figure 2 variable display (special figure 2 variable game). In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the process ends.

  In addition, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 includes flags A to J, 15R big hit flag, 2R big hit flag, first small hit flag, second small hit flag, first off flag, and second off flag. A flag, a special figure probability variation flag, and a general figure probability variation flag are prepared. In the special figure 2 state update process starting at the timing when the special figure 2 variable display time has elapsed (the timing when the special figure 2 display symbol update timer value has changed from 1 to 0), the special figure A flag is on, and the 15R big hit flag Is ON, the special figure probability variation flag is also on, and the general figure probability variation flag is on, the special figure A and special figure B flags shown in FIG. 5A are on, the 15R jackpot flag is on, and the special figure probability fluctuation is also on. When the flag is turned on and the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure B and special figure C flags are on, the 15R jackpot flag is also on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and the common figure probability fluctuation flag is on. Is special figure C, special figure D flag is on, 2R jackpot flag is also on, special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, ordinary figure probability fluctuation flag is off (on during hidden probability change), special figure D, special figure E flag on, 2R big hit flag on When the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, the special figure E, the special figure F flag is on, the 2R jackpot flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and the general figure probability fluctuation flag is Special figure F when off, special figure G when first small hit flag is on, special figure H when second small hit flag is on, special figure H, special figure when first off flag is on In FIG. I, when the second misalignment flag is on, the 7 segment LED constituting the special figure 2 display device 214 is controlled to be turned on / off so that the special figure J is in the respective mode. Special figure 2 Set to indicate that stop display is in progress. By performing this control, the special figure 2 display device 214 has the 15R special jackpot symbol (Special Figure A), the 15R special jackpot symbol (Special Figure B), the sudden probability variation symbol (Special Diagram C), and the first hidden probability variation symbol (Special Feature). Figure D), Hidden probability variation (Special E), Hidden probability variation (Special F), First small hit symbol (Special G), Second small hit symbol (Special H), First off symbol (Special) One of the symbols (Fig. I) and the second off-set symbol (special symbol J) is confirmed and displayed. Thereafter, information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, for 500 ms). With this setting, the specially displayed special figure 2 is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special figure 2 variable game is notified to the player. Also, if the electric support number stored in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, the subtraction result is changed from 1 to 0. In this case, if the special figure probability is not changing (details will be described later), the time reduction flag is turned off. Further, the hourly flag is also turned off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Further, the special transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the design for stopping the variable display is shown in FIG. The special figure 2 identification information indicating the presence is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data, which will be described later, and the processing is terminated.

  If the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the big hit flag is turned on as will be described later. When the jackpot flag is on, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the RAM 308 In the setting area, the special figure 2 is in operation and waits for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for notifying the player that the big win by the decorative symbol display device 208 is started is displayed. Therefore, information indicating the winning effect period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 standby time management timer changes from 1 to 0), a predetermined release period (for example, 29 seconds) Or, until a winning of a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) is detected at the variable winning opening 234, the door is connected to a solenoid for opening / closing the door member 234a of the variable winning opening 234 (a part of various solenoids 332). A signal for holding the member 234a in the opened state is output, and information indicating the opening period is set in the storage area of the door opening time management timer provided in the RAM 308. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening release setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the door opening time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds) A signal for holding the door member 234a in a closed state is output to a solenoid for opening / closing the door member 234a of the variable prize opening 234 (a part of various solenoids 332), and a door closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308 is provided. Information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In addition, the opening / closing control of the door member is repeated a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 15 rounds or 2 rounds), and in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the end timing, a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds) In other words, the effect standby period is stored in the storage area of the effect standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to set to wait for a period during which an image for informing the player that the big hit by the decorative symbol display device 208 is to be ended is displayed. Set the information indicating. Also, if the ordinary probability fluctuation flag is set to ON, the power support number (for example, 100 times) is set in the power support number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 simultaneously with the end of the big hit game, and the RAM 308 Turns on the hourly flag provided in. If the usual probability fluctuation flag is set to OFF, the power support count storage unit does not set the power support count, and the time reduction flag is not turned ON. Here, the electric support state means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variable game to the start of the next big hit. If the short time flag is set to ON at this time, it is in the normal figure high probability (normal figure certain change) state. There is a higher probability of hitting in the general-game variable game in the high-probability state than in the normal-game low probability state. In addition, in the normal figure high probability state, the fluctuation time of the general figure variable game is shorter than in the normal figure low probability state (normal figure variable short). Furthermore, in the normal high probability state, compared to the normal low probability state, the opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members 232a of the special drawing 2 starting port 232 is likely to be longer (electrical chew extension). In addition, the pair of blade members 232a are more likely to open in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. The control state due to the universal figure change, the universal figure change, and the electric Chu extension is collectively referred to as an electric support (starting prize winning support by electric tulip) state.

In addition, as described above, the hourly flag is set to off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Therefore, the normal low probability state is maintained during the big hit game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a big hit game, a large number of game balls will be placed in the special figure 2 starting port 232 until a predetermined number of game balls enter the variable prize opening 234 during the big hit game. In order to solve this, there is a problem that the number of game balls that can be acquired during the big hit increases and the number of game balls that can be acquired during a big hit increases, resulting in an increase in gambling.
Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined end production period ends (when the production standby time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 is not activated in the setting area of the RAM 308. Set medium. Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is out of the game, the out-of-game flag is turned on as will be described later. When this miss flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, special figure 2 inactive is set. In the special figure 2 state update process when the special figure 2 is not in operation, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S227.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step S227). In the special figure 1 state update process, each process described in the special figure 2 state update process is performed according to the state of the special figure 1. Each process performed in the special figure 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” in the contents described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”. Omitted. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update process in step S225 and step S227 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, first, a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 2 (a special drawing 2 related lottery process) is performed (step S229), and then a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 1 (a special drawing 1 related lottery process). (Step S231). Also for these special drawing related lottery processes, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 related lottery processing before the special figure 1 related lottery processing, so that the special figure 2 variable game start condition and the special figure 1 fluctuation Even if the game start conditions are satisfied at the same time, since the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. Further, the main control unit 300, in the special drawing related lottery process, special figure 1 random value storage area (an example of the first start information storage means) and special figure 2 random value storage area (an example of the second start information storage means) ) Are stored in the special figure random number value storage area (an example of start information), the special figure 2 random value group is acquired from the special figure 2 random value storage area. When a set of special figure random value is stored in one of the random value storage area and the special figure 2 random value storage area, the special figure 1 or special figure 2 in which the special figure random value set is stored. A set of special figure random number values is acquired from the random value storage area, and a determination is made based on the acquired combination of special figure random number values. That is, when the number of special figure 2 variable games held is larger than 0, the lottery process and the variable game related to the special figure 1 variable game hold are not performed, and the special figure 2 variable game hold number is 0 and the special figure When the number of 1 variable games held is 1 to 4, a lottery process or a variable game related to the holding of the special figure 1 variable game is performed. Thus, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a special figure 2 priority fluctuation machine that executes the special figure 2 variable game with priority over the special figure 1 fluctuation game. The notification of the result of the jackpot determination of the special figure variable game by the decorative symbol display device 208 is performed by the first sub-control unit 400, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the special figure 2 starting port 232 is notified. 1 is performed in preference to the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the starting port 230.

  In the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229), if the probability of deriving a specific success / failure determination result (for example, a win) is a high probability state (special figure high probability state), the falling lottery is performed before executing the determination of success / failure. Executed (details will be described later). Further, in the case of the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229), a special figure 2 random value set is acquired from the earliest (most previously stored) holding position in the special figure 2 random value storage area. Referring to the success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (a) or FIG. 10 (b) for the hit determination random number value in the acquired special figure 2 random value group, Or whether it is out of place. Next, when the determination result is a big hit or a small hit, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure determination random number value in the special figure 2 random value storage area obtained as shown in FIG. With reference to the figure determination table, the symbol (stop symbol) to be stopped and displayed after the variation display of the special diagram 2 is determined. Although details will be described later, if the result of the determination is wrong, a random symbol value for determining a missing symbol is obtained separately, and the random symbol value is referred to the special symbol determining table shown in FIG. To decide.

  After the first special figure 2 random value set is extracted from the special figure 2 random value storage area, the storage of the special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area is cleared, and the special figure 2 Subtract 1 from the number of holds. At this time, the set of the special figure 2 random value extracted from the special figure 2 random value storage area is stored in the temporary area (an example of the second starting information storage means) provided in the RAM 308, You may make it perform the above-mentioned determination based on the group of the said special figure 2 random value memorize | stored in this temporary area | region.

  The special drawing 1 related lottery process (step S231) is also the same as the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229), and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In step S233 following step S231, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In addition, in the prefetch result information command, the prefetch result information (prefetched stop symbol information) stored in the prefetch result storage unit in the command data and the prefetched stop symbol correspond to the number of holds. Information indicating whether or not the information is on hold. The prefetch result information and the hold number information in the prefetch result information command may include only an increment, or may include prefetch result information and hold number information for all holds.

  In the rotation start setting transmission process described above, the value of the 15R big hit flag or 2R big hit flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the special figure 1 related lottery process, and the special figure 2 related are stored in the RAM 308 as command data.

In step S233, general command special figure hold increase processing is also performed. In this general command special figure hold increasing process, special figure identification information (information showing special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308 is set in the command data. In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step S235 following step S233, external output signal setting processing is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 336.

  In step S237 following step S235, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of the various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read, and the presence or absence of a predetermined error, for example, the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or the presence or absence of a full tray error is monitored. When the front frame door opening error or the lower pan full error is detected, the transmission information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 includes device information indicating the presence or absence of the front frame door opening error or the lower pan full error.

The display data to be output to the special figure 2 display device 214, various status display units 328, and the like is set in the output port of the I / O 310. Further, the output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step S219) is output to the first sub-control unit 400 via the output port (I / O 310).

  In step S239 following step S237, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is ON. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S243, and when the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S241. In step S241, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 is set in each original register, interrupt permission is set, etc., and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. Return to. On the other hand, in step S243, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 as return data, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  Next, processing of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. FIG. 5A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 6B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing (strobe interrupt processing) of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, in step S301 in FIG. 9A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S301. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. This initialization process takes about 30 seconds, for example.

  In step S303 following step S301, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305. . In step S305, 0 is substituted into the timer variable.

  In step S307 following step S305, command processing is performed. The CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 determines whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

  In step S309 after step S307, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S307, processing such as reading effect data corresponding to the command from the ROM 406 is performed, and when update of the effect data is necessary, effect data update processing is performed.

  In step S311 following step S309, if pressing of the chance button is detected, processing for changing the effect data updated in step S309 to effect data corresponding to the pressing of the chance button is performed.

  In step S313 following step S311, if there is a command to the VDP 434 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the VDP 434 (details will be described later).

  In step S315 following step S313, if there is a command to the sound source IC 416 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the sound source IC 416.

  In step S317 following step S315, if there is a command to the various lamps 418 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the drive circuit 420.

  In step S319 following step S317, if there is a command to the shielding device 246 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the drive circuit 432.

  In step S321 following step S319, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S309, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step S303. .

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S401 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms). Execute in the cycle. In step S501 of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub control unit main process shown in FIG. Is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S503 subsequent to step S501, transmission of a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S321 in the main process of the first sub-control unit 400, update processing of other effect random numbers, and the like are performed.

  Next, the image control process in step S313 in the main process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of image control processing.

  In step S601, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 404 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 436. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the decorative design display device 208. Next, the CPU 404 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 406), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 436) and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 434 based on the position information table and the like, and then the image from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 434 transfers the image data from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 436 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 404.

  In step S603 following step S601, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S605. Wait for the input signal to be input. In step S605, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, the CPU 404 forms the display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 436 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 436 in step S601. , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 434. The VDP 434 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S607 following step S605, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 404 instructs the VDP 434 to start drawing an image. The VDP 434 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 404.

  In step S609 following step S607, it is determined whether a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 based on the end of image drawing is input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S611. Waits for the generation end interrupt signal to be input. In step S611, a scene display counter which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 408 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

  The process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 7B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 8C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S701 in FIG. 9A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S701. In this initialization processing, initial setting of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S703 subsequent to step S701, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S705. . In step S705, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S707 following step S705, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S709 subsequent to step S707, effect control processing is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step S707, the effect data corresponding to this command is read from the ROM 506, and if the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated.

  In step S711 subsequent to step S709, if there is a command from the first sub-control unit 400 to the game board lamp 532 or the game table frame lamp 542, the command is output to the serial communication control circuit 520.

  In step S713 following step S711, if there is a command from the first sub-control unit 400 to the effect movable body 224, this command is output to the drive circuit 516, and the process returns to step S703.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400. In step S801 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the first sub control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and a timer interrupt process is performed in response to this timer interrupt. Execute in the cycle. In step S901 of the second sub control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S703 in the second sub control unit main process shown in FIG. Is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S703, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S903 of the second sub-control unit timer interrupt process, an effect random number update process is performed.

  Next, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The data table shown in FIG. 10 is stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300, for example. FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B are the pass / fail judgment processing of special figure 2 or special figure 1 in special figure 2 or special figure 1 related lottery process (steps S229 and S231) of the main control unit timer interrupt process. An example of the use determination table used is shown. FIG. 10A shows a table used during the special figure high probability, and FIG. 10B shows a table used during the special figure low probability. FIG. 10C shows a special figure determination table used to determine a symbol to be stopped and displayed after the end of symbol variation. FIG. 10D shows a falling lottery table used for the falling lottery executed in the special drawing 2 or special drawing 1 related lottery processing (steps S229 and S231) of the main control unit timer interruption process.

  The success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (a) and FIG. 10 (b) has a “special figure probability” in the first column from the left, a “random number range” in the second column, “a result of success / failure” in the third column, 4 The column is composed of items of “probability”. “High probability” in the “special figure probability” in the first column shown in FIG. 10A indicates that the control state at the time of the determination is a special figure high probability state. The “random number range” in the second column indicates a numerical range (0 to 65535) of random numbers to be compared with the acquired hit determination random number value. The “random number range” is divided into three values of a numerical value 0 to 2179, a numerical value 2180 to 65317, and a numerical value 65318 to 65535. In the third column, “Win / Fail determination result” is assigned “high probability” and “big hit” corresponding to numerical values 0 to 2179, “losing” is assigned corresponding to numerical values 2180 to 65317, and numerical values 65318 to 65535. Corresponding to “small hit” is assigned. The “probability” in the fourth column indicates the set value of the probability of winning the big hit and the small hit in “high probability”, and the probability of winning the big hit in “high probability” is 1 / 30.06 (= 2180 / 65535), and the probability of winning a small hit is 1 / 300.6 (= 218/65535). The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment loses when the big hit or the small win is not won, and it is not necessary to set the probability of being lost if only the probability of winning the big hit or the small hit is set. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 does not have the probability of “out” as represented by “−” in FIG.

  The “low probability” in the “special figure probability” in the first column shown in FIG. 10B indicates that the control state at the time of the determination is a special figure low probability state. The “random number range” in the second column indicates a numerical range (0 to 65535) of random numbers to be compared with the acquired hit determination random number value. The “random number range” is divided into three values of a numerical value 0 to 217, a numerical value 218 to 64881, and a numerical value 64882 to 65535. In the third column, “Win / Fail determination result” is assigned “Large probability” corresponding to “Low probability” and numerical values 0 to 217, “Lost” corresponding to numerical values 218 to 64881, and Numerical values 64882 to 65535. Corresponding to “small hit” is assigned. The “probability” in the fourth column shows the set value of the probability of winning the big hit and the small hit in the “low probability”, and the probability of winning the big hit in the “low probability” is 1 / 300.6 (= 218 / 65535), and the probability of winning a small hit is 1 / 100.2 (= 654/65535). Similar to the case of “high probability”, the probability of loss is not set in the case of “low probability”. In FIG. 10B, the fact that the probability is not set is represented by “−”.

  In the present embodiment, the big hit winning probability of the special figure variable game is lower in the special figure low probability state than the special figure high probability state, and the small hit winning probability of the special figure variable game is the special figure high probability state. It is set to be higher in the special figure low probability state.

  The basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 uses the acquired winning judgment to determine whether the result of the floating game shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 is a winning (winning) or a wrong winning (missing). Whether or not the random number is determined is determined by referring to the determination table. For example, if the control state at the time of the determination is a special figure high probability state, the basic circuit 302 reads the high probability table for determination of correctness shown in FIG. In the case of the low probability state shown in FIG. 10, the low / probability determination table shown in FIG. 10B is read from the ROM 306 and referred to.

  FIG. 10C shows a special figure determination table. The special figure determination table is composed of items of “result determination / determination result”, “symbol random number range”, and “stop symbol” from the left column. The “win / fail judgment result” in the left column is divided into “big hit”, “small hit”, and “out of line”. “Big hit” indicates a case where it is determined as “big hit” as a result of the success / failure determination using the special figure success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10A or FIG. As a result of the success / failure determination using the determination table, it shows a case where it is determined as “small hit”, and “out of” indicates a case where it is determined as “out of” as a result of the determination of success / failure using the special figure determination table. Show.

  The item “symbol random number range” in the middle column of the table shown in FIG. 10C indicates the numerical value range of random numbers to be compared with the acquired special random number value for winning hour determination or the random symbol value for losing symbol determination. The “design random number range” corresponds to the item “big hit” in the left column “result of determination of success / failure”, numerical values 0 to 34, numerical values 35 to 69, numerical values 70 to 74, numerical values 75 to 79, numerical values 80 to 89, and It is divided into six values of 90 to 99, and is divided into two values of 0 to 49 and 50 to 99 corresponding to “small hit”, and values of 0 to 49 and numerical values corresponding to “out of”. It is divided into two of 50-99.

  The basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 displays the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device 214 when the determination result based on the ball entering the special figure 1 start port 230 or the special figure 2 start port 232 is a big hit. Which of the special symbols A to F is to be stopped and displayed is determined with reference to the special figure determination table with respect to the acquired random number value for determining the special figure for hitting. Since the numerical range of the random number value for determining the special figure for winning time is 0 to 99 (the size of the numerical range is 100), the probability that the special figure A or special figure B in the case of big hit in the special figure variable game is selected. Is approximately 1 / 2.85 (= 35/100), the probability that Special Figure C or Special Figure D is selected is 1/20 (= 5/100), and the probability that Special Figure E or Special Figure F is selected is 1/10 (= 10/100).

  The basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 displays the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device when the determination result based on the entrance to the special figure 1 start port 230 or the special figure 2 start port 232 is a small hit. It is determined with reference to the special figure determination table with respect to the acquired random number for determining the special figure for winning hour, which one of the special symbol G and special figure H is to be stopped and displayed in 214. Since the numerical range of the random number value for determining the hit special figure is 0 to 99 (the size of the numerical range is 100), the special figure G or special figure H for the small hit based on the special figure variable game is selected. The probabilities are 1/2 (= 50/100), respectively.

  The basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 displays the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device 214 in the case where the result of determination of success / failure based on the ball entering the special figure 1 starting port 230 or the special figure 2 starting port 232 is out of place. Which stop symbol mode of special figure I or special figure J is to be stopped and displayed is determined with reference to the special figure determination table with respect to the acquired random symbol value for determining the lost pattern. Since the numerical value range of the random symbol value for determining an outlier symbol is 0 to 99 (the numerical range is 100), the probability that the special figure I or the special figure J is selected in the case of a loss based on the special figure variable game is 1 / 2 (= 50/100).

  In the falling lottery table shown in FIG. 10 (d), “Special figure probability” in the first column from the left, “Random number range” in the second column, “Attack result” in the third column, “Probability” in the fourth column. It consists of items. “Use only at high probability” in “Special figure probability” in the first column shown in FIG. 10 (d) means that a falling lottery is executed only when the control state at the time of determination is a special figure high probability state. Represents. The “random number range” in the second column indicates a numerical range (0 to 65535) of random numbers to be compared with the acquired special figure 1 or special figure 2 falling lottery determination random number value. The “random number range” is divided into two values of a numerical value of 0 to 1299 and a numerical value of 1300 to 65535. The “win / fail result” in the third column represents the determination result of the falling lottery. The “result of success / failure” is divided into two categories, “falling to low probability” and “continuing high probability”. “Falling to low probability” means that the control state shifts from the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state, and “High probability continued” means that the control state maintains the special figure high probability state. . “Falling to low probability” is assigned corresponding to the numerical value 0 to 1299 of “Random number range”, and “High probability continuing” is assigned corresponding to the numerical value 1300 to 65535. The “probability” in the fourth column shows the set value of the probability of winning the “falling to low probability”, that is, the probability of winning the falling lottery. The probability of winning the falling lottery is 1 / 50.41 (= 1300/65535). Since the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment always maintains a special figure high probability state when the falling lottery is not won, if only the probability of “falling to a low probability” is set, the probability of “high probability continuation” There is no need to set. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 is not set with the probability of “high probability continuation” as represented by “−” in FIG.

  When the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 detects entry into the special figure 1 starting port 230 (or the special figure 2 starting port 232), the special circuit 1 falls from the falling lottery determination random number counter provided in the RAM 308. Random selection random number value (or special figure 2 falling lottery determination random number value) is acquired and stored in the special figure 1 falling lottery random value storage area (or special figure 2 falling lottery random value storage area). It has become. In the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300, the control state at the time of executing the special figure 1 related lottery process (step 231) (or the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229)) shown in FIG. If it is determined that there is a fall decision that falls from the high probability of the special figure to the normal probability (eg, the low probability of the special figure), that is, the falling lottery of the symbol variation display. This is done every execution. The basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 refers to the fall lottery table with respect to the acquired special figure 1 roll lottery determination random number value (or special figure 2 fall lottery random number value). Determine whether or not to transition to the figure low probability state. Once the control state falls to the special figure low probability state, the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 wins the big win of any of the special figures A to F, and the control state becomes the special figure high probability state. The falling lottery is not executed until the transition. The special drawing high probability state is maintained when the falling lottery is unfair, so the falling lottery can be viewed as a special drawing high probability maintenance lottery that determines whether or not to maintain the control state at a special drawing high probability. it can. The random value for determining whether or not the lottery is selected is always acquired when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 starting information is won regardless of the special figure high probability state or the special figure low probability state, and is not used if the special figure low probability state is won. It is like that.

  Next, the special figure prefetching process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 13 and 14 are flowcharts showing the flow of the special figure prefetching process (step S224) in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the special figure prefetching process, first, it is determined whether or not the current control state is in electric support (step S1000). In step S1000, for example, the main control unit 300 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is in an on state.

  In step S1001 following step S1000, it is determined whether or not a winning is made to the special figure 2 starting port 232. For example, the determination as to whether or not there has been a prize is made by referring to the special figure 2 reservation number stored in the special figure 2 reservation number storage area and the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area described later. To compare. The main control unit 300 compares the special figure 2 hold number with the special figure 2 prefetch number, and if the special figure 2 hold number is larger than the special figure 2 prefetch number, the special figure 2 start port 232 has won a prize. Determination is made and the process proceeds to step S1003. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 hold number is equal to the special figure 2 look-ahead number, or when the special figure 2 hold number storage area is full when the ball entering the special figure 2 start port 232 is detected, The main control unit 300 determines that there has been no winning in the special figure 2 starting port 232, and ends the special figure prefetching process without performing the processes of steps S1003 to S1021 described later.

  In step S1003 following step S1001, it is determined whether or not the current control state is a special figure high probability state. For example, if the main control unit 300 reads the value of the special figure probability variation flag stored in the RAM 308 and determines that the value is “1”, for example, is on, the process proceeds to step S1005, and the value is If it is “0” and it is determined to be in the off state, for example, the process proceeds to step S1007 without executing step S1005 described later.

  In step S1005 following step S1003, it is determined whether or not the falling lottery is won. For example, the main control unit 300 reads out a random number value for determining whether or not the special figure 2 falls lottery for lottery from the special figure 2 falling lottery random value storage area provided in the RAM 308, and pre-reads the random number value shown in FIG. ) To determine whether to win the falling lottery or not. If the main control unit 300 determines that the falling lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1007. If the main control unit 300 determines that the falling lottery is not won, the main control unit 300 proceeds to step S1009. In step S1005 for determining whether or not the falling lottery is successful, the probability of deriving a specific success / failure determination result (for example, big hit or small hit) is higher before performing the falling decision in the special drawing 2 related lottery process (step S229). It is an example of a fall pre-determination means for pre-determining whether to fall from a probability state to a normal probability (for example, a low probability state).

  In step S1007 following step S1005, the preliminary determination is executed with reference to the lottery table for special figure low probability. For example, the main control unit 300 reads a special figure 2 random value set to be pre-determined from the special figure 2 random value storage area provided in the RAM 308, prefetches the random value, and determines whether or not it is correct as shown in FIG. With reference to the low probability table, whether or not to win the big hit or the small win is determined in advance, and the process proceeds to step S1011.

  In step S1009 following step S1005, the preliminary determination is executed with reference to the lottery table for special figure high probability. For example, the main control unit 300 reads a special figure 2 random value set to be pre-determined from the special figure 2 random value storage area provided in the RAM 308, prefetches the random value, and determines whether or not it is correct as shown in FIG. With reference to the high probability table, it is determined in advance whether or not the big hit or the small win is won, and the process proceeds to step S1011.

  In step S1011 following step S1007 or step S1009, it is determined whether or not the prior determination result is a big hit. For example, the main control unit 300 proceeds to step S1013 when determining that the pre-determination result in step S1007 or step S1009 is a big hit, and proceeds to step S1015 when determining that the pre-determination result is not a big hit.

  In step S1013 following step S1011, a big hit symbol is determined. For example, the main control unit 300 refers to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. 10C with respect to the pre-determined random number value for determining the special figure for winning time, and stops the symbol (stop) after the special figure 2 variable game. Design) is determined in advance, and the process proceeds to step S1021.

  In step S1015 subsequent to step S1011, it is determined whether the prior determination result is a small hit. For example, the main control unit 300 proceeds to step S1017 when determining that the prior determination result in step S1007 or step S1009 is a small hit, and proceeds to step S1019 when determining that the prior determination result is not a small hit.

  In step S1017 following step S1015, a small hit symbol is determined. For example, the main control unit 300 refers to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. 10C with respect to the pre-reading special figure determination random number value in advance, and determines the stop symbol after the special figure 2 variable game in advance. Then, the process proceeds to step S1021.

  In step S1019 following step S1015, a missing symbol is determined. For example, the main control unit 300 pre-reads the random symbol value for determining the loss symbol stored in the RAM 308 and refers to the special symbol determination table shown in FIG. A later stop symbol is determined in advance, and the process proceeds to step S1021.

  In step S1021 following step S1013, S1017, or S1019, the fluctuation time of the special figure variable game is drawn based on the stop symbol determined in advance in these steps. For example, the main controller 300 uses the stop symbol, the special figure timer number determination random value, and the special figure 2 variable display time determination table shown in FIG. ) Is determined and the special figure prefetching process is terminated.

  Further, in step S1021, for example, the pre-determined result of special figure 2 (also referred to as the special figure 2 pre-read result) obtained by executing the special figure 2 pre-read process and pre-determined, and the special figure timer number pre-determined in step S1021 Is stored in a special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit (not shown) provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. The main control unit 300 stores the pre-determined special figure 2 variable game stop symbol and special figure timer number as the special figure 2 prefetching result in the earliest free area of the special figure 2 prefetching result storage unit. Yes. In the present embodiment, the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit can store, for example, up to four special figure 2 prefetch results.

  The RAM 308 is provided with a special figure 2 prefetch number storage area for storing the number of special figure 2 prefetch results stored in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit as the special figure 2 prefetch number. Each time the special figure 2 prefetch number increases by one, the main control unit 300 writes new special figure 2 prefetch result information in the next rank after the special figure 2 prefetch result information of the lowest rank (last). In the present embodiment, the prefetch process is performed for the increment of the hold, but the special figure prefetch process may be performed for all the hold each time.

  In step S1000, for example, when the main control unit 300 determines that the time reduction flag is in the off state and is not in the electric support state, the main control unit 300 proceeds to step S1101 shown in FIG. Each process performed in steps S1101 to S1121 shown in FIG. 14 is the same as the process in which “Special Figure 2” in the contents of Steps S1001 to S1021 described with reference to FIG. 13 is replaced with “Special Figure 1”. Description is omitted.

  The special figure prefetch process in FIGS. 13 and 14 is executed by referring to the success / failure determination table, the special figure determination table, and the falling lottery table used at the time of the success / failure determination. It may be used.

  Next, about the design aspect of the hold display image displayed in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 and the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2 (for example, see FIG. 24) provided in the effect display area 208d of the decorative design display device 208. This will be described with reference to FIGS. Although details will be described later, the pachinko machine 100 displays the number of hold of the special figure 1 variable game as the number of hold display images displayed in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, and specially displays the number of hold of the special figure 2 variable game. 2 The number of the hold display images displayed in the hold display area 208d2 is displayed. Further, the pachinko machine 100 is configured to execute a prior notice notification (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special drawing prefetch notice notice”) by changing the display mode of the hold display image.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of a display mode of a special display variable game hold display. The pachinko machine 100 has, for example, four display modes as a special display variable game hold display. “No change” at the left end of FIG. 15 is a default display when the display mode of the special display variable game hold display is not changed in the hold change notice lottery described later, and is changed to a predetermined color. It is a filled circular hold display image. The second “hold A” from the left in FIG. 15 is a special display variable game hold display used when “hold A” is selected in the hold change notice lottery, and “evil merchant Echigoya” is displayed. It is the hold display image represented. The third “hold B” from the left in FIG. 15 is a special display variable game hold display used when “hold B” is selected in the hold change notice lottery, and represents “Yoshimune”. It is a hold display image. The fourth “hold C (accurate)” from the left in FIG. 15 is a special display variable game on-hold display used when “hold C (actual)” is selected in the hold change notice lottery. It is an on-hold display image representing “cactus” (a character with a cactus and a haniwa motif). Although details will be described later, the special figure variable game related to the hold using the hold display of “Sabohani” is determined to be a hit.

  Next, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 show the hold change advance notice lottery table to be referred to when lottery is performed to determine whether or not to change the display mode of the hold display image displayed in the special figure 1 and special figure 2 hold display areas 208d1, 208d2. Will be described. FIG. 16 shows an example of the pending change notice lottery table 1 used in step S1209 in the first sub-control section prefetch notice execution process at the time of starting information winning that will be described later. The hold change notice lottery table 1 is stored in the ROM 406 of the first sub-control unit 400, for example. The pending change notice lottery table 1 is used in the case of the special figure 1 variable game, in the case of the special figure low probability state regardless of whether the control state is during the electric support or the non-electric support. Is used only during the electric support.

  From the left column, the change change notice lottery table 1 includes “variable time”, “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”, “no change”, “hold A”, “hold B”, and “hold C (actual)”. There are five categories. "Variation time" is "variation time" determined using the special figure 1 or special figure 2 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. 12, and the main control unit timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. In the command transmission setting process (step S233), the variable time transmitted as a special figure timer number from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 is shown. The “variation time” is divided into six “10000 ms”, “40000 ms”, “60000 ms”, “15000 ms”, “45000 ms”, and “65000 ms”. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, in an effect where the variation time is relatively short, such as an extra short fluctuation time of 1500 ms, the hold change notice lottery is not executed and the hold display image is not displayed. The display mode is not changed. For example, the pachinko machine 100 determines whether or not to change the display mode of the hold display image when the variation time of the special figure variation game is relatively long (for example, 10,000 ms or more).

  The “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device” on the right side of the “variable time” diagram indicates the effect mode of the special figure variable game. The “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device” is the “variation time” in the special figure 1 or special symbol 2 variable display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 or 12 and the “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”. It is associated with “variation time” so as to be the same as the association. When “Fluctuation time” is “10000 ms”, “Normal reach is out”, “40000 ms” is “Reach A out”, “60000 ms” is “Reach B out”, “15000 ms” is “Normal reach” and “45000 ms”. Is “per reach A” and “65000 ms” is “per reach B”.

  “No change” on the right side of the “effect pattern on the decorative design display device” in the drawing is the same as the default display shown as “no change” in FIG. “Pending A” next to the right is displayed as “Pending A” in FIG. 15 and “Prank Merchant Echigoya” is shown on the display in FIG. “Hold B” next to the right indicates that the advance notice of the special figure variation game is executed with the hold display of “Yoshimune” shown as “Hold B” in FIG. “Hold C (accurate)” of FIG. 15 indicates that the specific advance notice of the special figure variable game is executed with the “Sabohani” on-hold display shown as “hold C (accurate)” in FIG. “No change”, “Hold A”, “Hold B”, and “Hold C (exact)” correspond to the “variable time” and the numerical range of random numbers (0 to 0) to be compared with the random number for holding change notice lottery 99). For example, the first sub-control unit 400 acquires a random number for holding change notice lottery from a random number for holding change notice lottery provided in the RAM 408.

  When “Variation time” is “10000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 95 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 96 to 97 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 98 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. In FIG. 16, the fact that no numerical value is assigned is represented as “−”. When “Fluctuation time” is “40000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 79 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 80 to 89 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 90 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When “Fluctuation time” is “60000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 89 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 90 to 94 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 95 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When the “variation time” is “15000 ms”, a numerical value of 0 to 95 is assigned to “no change”, a numerical value of 96 to 97 is assigned to “holding A”, a numerical value of 98 is assigned to “holding B”, A numerical value 99 is assigned to “hold C (actual)”. When “Variation time” is “45000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 59 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 60 to 79 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 80 to 94 are assigned to “holding B”. The numerical values 95 to 99 are assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When “Variation time” is “65000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 39 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 40 to 69 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 70 to 89 are assigned to “holding B”. The numerical values 90 to 99 are assigned to “hold C (correct)”.

  In the present embodiment, the hold display image is changed to the display mode of “Sabohani” only in the case where the control state is the special figure low probability state and the “reaching mode on the decorative design display device” is the winning reach mode. Thus, the advance notice is made that the reserved special figure variation game is confirmed to be a hit.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment refers to the same pending change notice lottery table 1 during the electric support and the non-electric support in the special figure low probability state, but is not limited thereto. For example, the pachinko machine 100 has a hold change notice lottery table 1 referred to during electric support and a hold change notice lottery table 1 referred to during non-electric support, both tables 1 being random numbers for hold change notice lottery. May be configured to have different distributions. During the special drawing high probability lottery state during non-electric support, that is, during the change of the latent probability, the display mode of the hold display image is restricted to “hold C (correct)” as described later. A game state in which it is concealed whether the current control state is a special figure high probability state or a special figure low probability state, and a pending display image is displayed during a mode (secret mode) that enters after a big probability hit or a small hit Since the probability of the “Hold C (Probability Change)” display mode is relatively low, the appearance rate of the “Savohani” hold display decreases. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 improves the appearance rate of the holding display of “Sabohani” by increasing the probability that “holding C (probable)” will be selected at the time of non-electric support with a low probability of special figure. In some cases, the game during the latent mode can be improved. In the present embodiment, when “Sabohani” is displayed on hold during the concealment mode, it is determined that the concealed gaming state has a low probability, but for the player, the 15R jackpot is determined. Since it is a display, this does not reduce interest.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of the pending change notice lottery table 2 used in step S1221 in the first sub-control section prefetch notice execution process when starting information winning is described later. The hold change notice lottery table 2 is stored in the ROM 406 of the first sub-control unit 400, for example. The pending change notice lottery table 2 is used in the special figure 1 variable game, and is referred to when the control state is non-electric support and the special figure high probability state.

  From the left column, the pending change notice lottery table 2 is “variable time”, “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”, “no change”, “hold A”, “hold B”, and “hold C (actual)”. There are five categories. "Variation time" is "variation time" determined using the special figure 1 or special figure 2 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. 12, and the main control unit timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. In the command transmission setting process (step S233), the variable time transmitted as a special figure timer number from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 is shown. The “variation time” is divided into six “10000 ms”, “40000 ms”, “60000 ms”, “15000 ms”, “45000 ms”, and “65000 ms”. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, even when the hold change notice lottery table 2 is used, the change in hold is changed in an effect in which the change time is relatively short, such as the change time of the special figure change game is extremely short of 1500 ms. The display mode of the hold display image is not changed without the notice lottery being executed. For example, the pachinko machine 100 determines whether or not to change the display mode of the hold display image when the variation time of the special figure variation game is relatively long (for example, 10,000 ms or more).

  The “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device” on the right side of the “variable time” diagram indicates the effect mode of the special figure variable game. The “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device” is the “variation time” in the special figure 1 or special symbol 2 variable display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 or 12 and the “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”. It is associated with “variation time” so as to be the same as the association. When “Fluctuation time” is “10000 ms”, “Normal reach is out”, “40000 ms” is “Reach A out”, “60000 ms” is “Reach B out”, “15000 ms” is “Normal reach” and “45000 ms”. Is “per reach A” and “65000 ms” is “per reach B”.

  “No change” on the right side of the “effect pattern on the decorative design display device” in the drawing is the same as the default display shown as “no change” in FIG. “Pending A” next to the right indicates that the game is to be on hold, and “Prank Merchant Echigoya” shown as “Pending A” in FIG. “Hold B” next to the right indicates that the advance notice of the special figure variation game is executed with the hold display of “Yoshimune” shown as “Hold B” in FIG. “Holding C (accurate)” indicates that the advance notice of the special figure variable game is executed with the “Sabohani” on-hold display shown as “Holding C (accurate)” in FIG. “No change”, “Hold A”, “Hold B”, and “Hold C” are in the numerical range (0 to 99) of random numbers to be compared with the random number for holding change notice lottery corresponding to “variable time”. Each is divided. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 acquires a random number for holding change notice lottery from a random number for holding change notice lottery provided in the RAM 408.

  When “Variation time” is “10000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 95 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 96 to 97 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 98 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. In FIG. 17, the fact that no numerical value is assigned is represented as “−”. When “Fluctuation time” is “40000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 79 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 80 to 94 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 95 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When “Fluctuation time” is “60000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 89 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 90 to 96 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 97 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When “Fluctuation time” is “15000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 95 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 96 to 97 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 98 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When “Variation time” is “45000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 59 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 60 to 89 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 90 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”. When “Variation time” is “65000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 39 are assigned to “no change”, numerical values 40 to 69 are assigned to “holding A”, and numerical values 70 to 99 are assigned to “holding B”. No numerical value is assigned to “hold C (accurate)”.

  Although a detailed description is omitted, in the present embodiment, “hold A”, “hold B”, and “hold C (correct)” are set to have different degrees of reliability. As described above, “hold C (probable)” is executed only in the case of winning, so that the hold of the special figure variable game in which the pre-reading notice is given in the form of “hold C (predetermined)” has reliability. The highest is 100%. “Pending B” is set to the next highest reliability, and “Pending A” is set to the lowest reliability. The reliability (%) represents the level of possibility of deriving a specific determination result, that is, the level of possibility of winning a “win” when a pre-reading notice is executed. Or, the appearance rate of the pre-reading notice at the time of small hit / (appearance rate of the pre-reading notice at the time of the big hit and the small hit + the appearance rate of the pre-reading notice at the time of losing) × 100 ”. In addition, the appearance rate of the prefetch notice notification at the time of the big hit is determined by the product of the probability of winning the jackpot and the probability of being won by performing the prefetch notice at the big hit. The appearance rate of the prefetch notice notification at the time of a small hit is determined by the product of the probability of winning a small hit and the probability of being won by executing the prefetch notice at the small hit. The appearance rate of the pre-read notice notification at the time of losing is determined by the product of the probability of losing and the probability of winning the pre-read notice notice at the time of losing.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a special figure 2 priority change machine and has a falling lottery function. For this reason, for example, when the special figure 2 start information is derived after the prior determination of the special figure 1 start information, the special figure 2 variable game related to the special figure 2 start information before the determination of whether or not the special figure 1 start information is appropriate. Is executed. Even if the control state is a special figure high probability state at the time of prior determination of the special figure 1 start information, the control state is special figure low probability by winning the falling lottery executed prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game There is a case to transition to the state. In this case, the determination of whether or not the special figure 1 start information is correct is executed based on the fact that the special figure is in a low probability state. Problem may occur. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with the hold change notice lottery table 2 in which “hold C (actual)” is not selected in the ROM 406, as will be described later, during the high probability of special figure and during non-electric support. Regarding the special figure 1 starting information that has been won, the reserved change notice lottery table 2 is referred to regulate the specific advance notice of “hold C (accurate)” to prevent the problem from occurring. .

  Next, the notice of the success / failure determination result of the special figure variable game being executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19. FIG. 18 shows an example of the normal notice lottery table used in step S1327 in the notice execution process of the first sub-control section at the start of change described later. “Normal” of the normal notice means a notice of the determination result of whether or not the special figure variable game is being executed. The normal notice lottery table is stored in the ROM 406 of the first sub control unit 400, for example. The normal notice lottery table is used to determine whether or not to execute a normal notice for notifying the determination result of whether or not the special figure variable game is being executed. The normal notice lottery table is used in common in FIG. 1 and FIG.

  The normal notice lottery table shown in FIG. 18 is divided into five from the left column: “change time”, “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”, “no notice”, “notice A”, and “notice B”. Yes. "Variation time" is "variation time" determined using the special figure 1 or special figure 2 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. 12, and the main control unit timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. In the command transmission setting process (step S233), the variable time transmitted as a special figure timer number from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 is shown. The “variation time” is divided into six “10000 ms”, “40000 ms”, “60000 ms”, “15000 ms”, “45000 ms”, and “65000 ms”. The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to determine whether or not the normal notice is to be executed when the variation time of the special figure variation game is relatively long (for example, 10000 ms or more).

  The “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device” on the right side of the “variable time” diagram indicates the effect mode of the special figure variable game. The “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device” is the “variation time” in the special figure 1 or special symbol 2 variable display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 or 12 and the “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”. It is associated with “variation time” so as to be the same as the association. When “Fluctuation time” is “10000 ms”, “Normal reach is out”, “40000 ms” is “Reach A out”, “60000 ms” is “Reach B out”, “15000 ms” is “Normal reach” and “45000 ms”. Is “per reach A” and “65000 ms” is “per reach B”.

  “No notice” on the right side of the “Drawing mode on decorative design display device” indicates that the normal notice is not executed, and “Notice A” on the right side is a notice corresponding to notice A as a normal notice. “Notice B” on the right side indicates that the notice is executed, and the notice notice corresponding to the notice B is executed as the normal notice. “No notice”, “Notice A”, and “Notice B” are each divided by a numerical value range (0 to 99) of random numbers to be compared with a normal notice execution determination random number value. The first sub-control unit 400 obtains a normal advance notice execution determination random number value from, for example, a normal advance notice execution determination random number counter provided in the RAM 408.

  When “Variation time” is “10000 ms”, a value of 0 to 79 is assigned to “no notice”, a value of 80 to 99 is assigned to “notice A”, and a value is not assigned to “notice B”. . In FIG. 18, the fact that no numerical value is assigned is represented as “−”. When “Fluctuation time” is “40000 ms”, a value of 0 to 49 is assigned to “No notice”, a value of 50 to 79 is assigned to “Notice A”, and a value of 80 to 99 is assigned to “Notice B”. It has been. When “Variation time” is “60000 ms”, numerical values 0 to 69 are assigned to “no notice”, numerical values 70 to 94 are assigned to “notice A”, and numerical values 95 to 99 are assigned to “notice B”. It has been. When “Variation time” is “15000 ms”, a numerical value of 0 to 95 is assigned to “No notice”, a numerical value of 96 to 98 is assigned to “Notice A”, and a numerical value of 99 is assigned to “Notice B”. Yes. When “Variation time” is “45000 ms”, a value of 0 to 39 is assigned to “No notice”, a value of 40 to 79 is assigned to “Notice A”, and a value of 80 to 99 is assigned to “Notice B”. It has been. When “Variation time” is “65000 ms”, a value of 0 to 29 is assigned to “No notice”, a value of 30 to 59 is assigned to “Notice A”, and a value of 60 to 99 is assigned to “Notice B”. It has been.

  In the present embodiment, when the reach effect is reach A or reach B in the “effect mode on the decorative symbol display device”, the winning direction depends on one of “notice A” and “notice B” rather than out of place. Usually notice is easy to be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the reach production with a longer variation time is set to have higher reliability. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reliability is the highest in “reach B”, the next “reach A” is the highest, and the “normal reach” is the lowest. Therefore, it is highly likely that the special figure variable game in which the “reach B” effect is executed will be the most successful, and the special figure variable game in which the “reach A” effect is executed is likely to be the next, The possibility that the special figure variation game in which the “normal reach” effect is executed will be the lowest. However, when the reach effect is “normal reach” in the “appearance mode on the decorative symbol display device”, “notice B” is not selected in the outlier, but “notice B” is selected in the hit. In the normal reach, the special figure variable game in which the normal notice by the “notice B” is executed is determined to be hit.

  FIG. 19 shows a symbol form used for normal notice notification. In the left end of FIG. 19, a symbol that is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 at the time of the normal notice of “notice A” and that represents “princess” is shown. The second symbol from the left end of FIG. 19 shows a symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 at the time of the normal notice of “Notice B”, which represents “Osama”. A third character from the left end of FIG. 19 shows a character symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 during the effect of “reach A”, which represents “panda”. The fourth character from the left end of FIG. 19 shows a character symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 during the effect of “Leach B”, which represents “Princess sister”.

  Next, the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning that is executed in, for example, the effect control process (step S309) illustrated in FIG. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the first sub-control unit 400 controls the RAM 408 and the like by the CPU 404 to start the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning and a special figure variable game described later. The first sub-control unit notice process is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning, it is first determined whether or not a pre-reading notice execution flag is on (step S1201). For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the prefetching notice execution flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, and if the value is “1”, the prefetching notice execution flag is on. The process proceeds to step S1223 without executing steps S1203 to S1221, which will be described later. If the value is “0”, it is determined that the pre-reading notice execution flag is in the off state, and the process proceeds to step S1203. .

  In step S1203 following step S1201, the variation time that is pre-determined in step S1004 and transmitted from the main controller 300 as the special figure timer number is one of the “variation times” (predetermined variation) shown in FIG. 16 or FIG. Time). For example, if the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the variation time transmitted as the special figure timer number is one of the “variation times” shown in FIG. 16 or FIG. 17, the process proceeds to step S1205, and FIG. If it is determined that it is not one of the “variation times” shown in FIG.

  In step S1205 following step S1203, it is determined whether or not the current control state is in electric support. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the time reduction flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. If it is determined that the value is “0” and the electric support is not being performed, the process proceeds to step S1217. The value of the time reduction flag stored in the RAM 408 is based on the on / off state information of the time reduction flag included in the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process (step S233) of the main control unit timer interrupt process. Is set.

  In step S1207 subsequent to step S1205, it is determined whether or not the winning of the game ball is in FIG. For example, when the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process includes information indicating that the special figure 2 start information has increased, the winning of the game ball is If it is determined that the figure is the special figure 2 and the process proceeds to step S1209, and if it is determined that the command does not include information indicating that the special figure 2 start information has increased, then steps S1209 to S1215 described later are not executed. The process proceeds to step S1223.

  On the other hand, in step S1217 following step S1205, it is determined whether or not the winning of the game ball is in FIG. For example, when the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process includes information indicating that the special figure 1 start information has increased, the winning of the game ball is If it is determined that the figure is the special figure 1 and the process proceeds to step S1219 and the information indicating that the special figure 1 start information has increased is not included in the command, steps S1209 to S1215, S1219 and S1221 described later are executed. The process proceeds to step S1223 without executing.

  In step S1219 following step S1217, it is determined whether or not the high-probability lottery state is set. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the special figure probability variation flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, and if the value is “1”, the current control state is the special figure high probability state. If it is determined that the lottery is in a high-probability lottery state, the process proceeds to step S1221. The process proceeds to S1209. The value of the special figure probability variation flag stored in the RAM 408 is based on the on / off state information of the special figure probability variation flag included in the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process (step S233). Is set.

  In step S1209 subsequent to step S1207 or step S1219, a hold change lottery process is executed by the hold change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the hold change notice lottery table 1 referred to in the lottery process for determining whether or not to change the display mode of the hold display image from the ROM 406, and proceeds to step S1211. In step S1209 following step S1207, the special figure 2 variable game hold display is selected by lottery, and in step S1209 following step S1219, the special figure 1 variable game hold display when the control state is non-electric support and the special figure low probability state is displayed. Will be the subject of the pending change lottery. Since it is not necessary to regulate the display mode of “hold C (win)” in the hold change lottery, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the hold change notice lottery table 1 from the ROM 406 as a table to be referred to. Yes.

  In step S1221 following step S1219, a hold change lottery process is executed by the hold change notice lottery table 2 shown in FIG. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the hold change notice lottery table 2 referred to in the lottery process for determining whether or not to change the display mode of the hold display image from the ROM 406, and proceeds to step S1211. In step S1221, the hold display of the special figure 1 variable game when the control state is non-electric support and the special figure high probability state is the target of the hold change lottery. The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a special figure 2 priority change machine and has a falling lottery function. For this reason, for example, when the special figure 2 start information is derived after the prior determination of the special figure 1 start information, the special figure 2 variable game related to the special figure 2 start information before the determination of whether or not the special figure 1 start information is appropriate. Is executed. Even if the control state is a special figure high probability state at the time of prior determination of the special figure 1 start information, the control state is special figure low probability by winning the falling lottery executed prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game There is a case to transition to the state. In this case, whether or not the special figure 1 start information is determined to be correct is executed based on the low probability state of the special figure, so that the result of the determination can be out of sight even though the preliminary determination result is a big hit. There is sex. For example, as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), if the numerical value range of the acquired random numbers for hit determination is 218 to 2179, the prior determination result in the high probability state is a big hit. On the other hand, the determination result in the low probability state is out of order. In this case, prior notice notification that the special figure 1 variable game held by “Sabohani” of “Hold C (Hold)” indicating that the display mode of the held display image is surely won is executed is executed. Nevertheless, there arises a problem that the special figure 1 variable game becomes out of date. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is in non-electric support (No in step S1205), the winning is the special figure 1 (Yes in step S1217), and is in a high probability lottery state (step) In the hold change lottery (No in S1219) (step S1221), the hold change notice lottery table 2 in which “hold C (win)” is not selected is read from the ROM 406. Thereby, the pachinko machine 100 may be able to prevent the problem from occurring.

  In step S1211 subsequent to step S1209 or step S1221, it is determined whether or not a pending change lottery is won. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 determines whether or not to win the hold change lottery with reference to the hold change notice lottery table 1 or 2 read from the ROM 406 with respect to the obtained random number for hold change notice lottery, If it is determined that the lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1213. If it is determined that the lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S1223 without executing steps S1213 and S1215 described later.

  In step S1213 following step S1211, for example, the number of executions of the prefetch notice is set based on the number-of-holds information included in the prefetch result information command transmitted from the main control unit 300. For example, when the first sub-control unit 400 executes the processing from step S1201 to S1211 or the processing from step S1201 to S1205 and S1217 to S1211 for the third hold (holding number information is “3”), For example, “3” is set in the RAM 408 as the number of pre-read notice executions, and the process proceeds to step S1215. The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to change the display mode of the hold display image of the same number as the number of pre-reading notice executions based on the winning contents of the hold change lottery.

  In step S1215 subsequent to step S1213, a pre-reading notice execution flag is turned on to indicate that the prefetching notice is being executed. The first sub-control unit 400 sets, for example, “1” as the value of the flag to a predetermined storage in the RAM 408 in order to set a pre-reading notice execution flag indicating whether or not the pre-reading notice is being executed. Store in the area. As a result, the prefetch notice is set during execution. If the first sub-control unit 400 does not execute the pre-reading notice, the first sub-control unit 400 stores “0” as the value of the flag in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 and turns off the pre-reading notice execution flag. Set to state. The first sub-control unit 400 proceeds to step S1223 after setting the pre-reading notice execution flag to the on state.

  In step S <b> 1201, step S <b> 1203, step S <b> 1207, step S <b> 1211, step S <b> 1217, and step S <b> 1215, a hold command output process is executed. In step S1223 following step S1201, S1203, S1207, S1211, or S1217, for example, the first sub-control unit 400 sets information indicating that the hold display image related to the winning start information is the default display of “no change” shown in FIG. The hold command including this is output to the decorative symbol display device 208, and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is completed. As a result, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays the hold display image according to the display form of the circular hold display painted in a predetermined color in the special display 1 and the special figure 2 hold display areas 208d1 and d2 in the effect display area 208d. To be displayed. Further, in step S1223 subsequent to step S1215, for example, the first sub-control unit 400 displays “hold A” and “hold B” shown in FIG. 15 based on the hold change lottery result for the hold display image related to the winning start information. Alternatively, a hold command including hold display mode information corresponding to either “hold C (determined)” and hold number information is output to the decorative symbol display device 208, and the first sub-control unit look-ahead at the time of winning the starting information The notice execution process ends. As a result, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays the hold display image in the hold display mode of any one of “Vice Merchant Echigoya”, “Yoshimune” or “Sabohani” in the special display 1 and the special figure 2 hold display areas of the effect display area 208d. It is displayed at a predetermined location 208d1 and d2.

  In this example, the hold change lottery is executed when the pre-reading notice execution flag is OFF in step S1201. For this reason, even if a plurality of special figure variable games are put on hold, there is only one hold as a display mode of the prefetch notice notification. For example, the pachinko machine 100 does not use the pre-reading notice execution flag in the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning (the process of step S1201 is not executed), so that the pre-reading notice is being executed. However, the pending change lottery process may be executed. Thereby, the pachinko machine 100 may be able to change a plurality of special figure variable games to the display mode of the pre-reading notice in the same period.

  Next, the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 are flowcharts showing an example of the flow of the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game executed in the effect control process (step S309) shown in FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the secret mode update process in the first sub-control unit notice execution process. This process is executed once for each special figure variable game.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the first sub-control unit advance notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game, it is first determined whether or not the pre-read advance notice execution flag is on (step S1301). For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the prefetching notice execution flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, and if the value is “1”, the prefetching notice execution flag is on. The process proceeds to step S1303. If the value is “0”, it is determined that the pre-reading notice execution flag is in an off state, and the process proceeds to step S1325.

  In step S1325 following step S1301, a secret mode update process described later is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1327.

  On the other hand, in step S1303 subsequent to step S1301, it is determined whether or not the current control state is in power support. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the time reduction flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. If the value is “1”, the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the electric support is in progress and proceeds to step S1305. If it is determined that the value is “0” and the electric support is not being performed, the process proceeds to step S1313.

  In step S1305 following step S1303, it is determined whether or not the special figure variable game to be started is a special figure 2 variable game. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 may include a command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process including information indicating that the special figure variable game to be started is the special figure 2 variable game. If it is determined, it is determined that the next special figure variable game to be started is a special figure 2 variable game, and the process proceeds to step S1307. Information indicating that the special figure variable game to be started is a special figure variable game If it is determined that the command is not included, the process proceeds to step S1327 without executing steps S1307 to S1311 described later.

  If it is determined in step S1303 that there is no power support, then a secret mode update process described later is executed (step S1313), and the process proceeds to step S1315.

  In step S1315 following step S1313, it is determined whether or not the special figure variable game to be started is the special figure 1 variable game. For example, when the first sub control unit 400 includes information indicating that the special figure variable game to be started is the special figure variable game, in the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process. If it is determined, the special figure variable game to be started is determined to be a special figure 1 variable game, and the process proceeds to step S1307. If it is determined that it is not included, the process proceeds to step S1317 shown in FIG.

  In step S1307 following step S1305 or S1315, the number of pre-reading notice executions is decreased by “1”. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the pre-reading notice execution count stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, subtracts “1” from the read value, and proceeds to step S1309.

  In step S1309 following step S1307, it is determined whether or not the number of pre-reading notice executions obtained by subtracting “1” in step S1307 is “0”. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 stores the value after subtraction of the prefetching notice execution count in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, and moves to step S1311 when determining that the prefetching notice execution count after subtraction is “0”. If it is determined that the pre-reading notice execution count after the subtraction is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S1317 shown in FIG.

  In step S1311 following step S1309, the pre-reading notice execution flag is set to an off state. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 sets “0” as the value of the flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in order to set the pre-reading notice execution flag to an off state and indicate that the pre-reading notice notification has ended. Is stored, and the process proceeds to step S1327.

  In steps S1317 to S1323 shown in FIG. 22, the display mode of the hold display image is changed from the default display to a display mode such as “savohani” of “hold C (correct)”, and the prefetch notice is executed during the prefetch notice notification. Processing for returning the display mode of the hold display image to the default display after the big hit or the small hit game ends when another special figure variable game different from the notification is won for the big hit or the small hit Is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in step S1317 following step S1309 or step S1315, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the special figure variable game to be started (the change) is a big hit or a small hit. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 includes, in the command setting transmission process, information indicating that the determination result of the special figure variable game to be started is a big hit or a small hit in the command transmitted from the main control unit 300. If it is determined that the command includes information indicating that the result of determining whether or not the special figure variation game to be started is out of order, steps S1319 to S1323 described later are executed. Without proceeding to S1327 shown in FIG.

  In step S1319 following step S1317, the number of pre-reading notice executions is rewritten to “0”. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 rewrites the value of the number of pre-reading notice executions stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 to 0, and proceeds to step S1321.

  In step S1321 following step S1319, the pre-reading notice execution flag is set to an off state. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 sets “0” as the value of the flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in order to forcibly end the prefetch notice notification by setting the prefetch notice execution flag to an off state. Is stored, and the process proceeds to step S1323.

  In step S1323 subsequent to step S1321, the hold display initialization flag is set to an on state. For example, the first sub-control unit 400, for example, a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in order to return the hold display image that has been changed to one of the display modes of “hold A” to “hold C (confirmed)” to the default display. When the value of the hold display initialization flag stored in is set to “1” and the flag is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S1223 shown in FIG.

  The pachinko machine 100 reads the value of the hold display initialization flag after the end of the big hit or the small hit, and determines whether or not to return the hold display image for which the prefetch notice notification is executed to the default display. When the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the value of the flag is “1” and the flag is in the on state, the first sub-control unit 400 issues a command to return the hold display image in the display mode such as “Sabohani” to the default display. In addition to being output to the display device 208, “0” is stored again in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 as the value of the hold display initialization flag.

  Returning to FIG. 21, in step S1327 following step S1311, S1323 or S1325, a lottery process for normal notice is executed. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 is provided in the RAM 408, the fluctuation time as the special figure timer number included in the command transmitted from the main control unit 300, the normal notice lottery table shown in FIG. Using the random number for normal notice lottery obtained from the random number for normal notice lottery, it is determined whether or not the normal notice is executed, and if the normal notice is executed, whether the notice A or B is won To do. Further, the first sub-control unit 400 outputs a command including information on these lottery results to the decorative symbol display device 208, and ends the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game.

  Next, the secret mode update process executed in step S1313 or S1325 will be described with reference to FIG. In the secret mode update process, the control state shifts to the electric support state after each game of “Special Figure D” to “Special Figure F” which is a jackpot symbol and “Special Figure G” and “Special Figure H” which is a jackpot symbol If not, it is a process of setting the execution period of the subsequent 30 symbol variations to the secret mode. In the present embodiment, when the hit of “special drawing D” to “special drawing H” comes again during the concealment mode, resetting is performed 30 times in order to extend the execution period of the concealment mode. It is like that.

  As shown in FIG. 23, in the secret mode update process, first, it is determined whether or not the change is a big hit (step S1401). For example, when the first sub-control unit 400 includes a command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process, the first sub-control unit 400 includes information indicating that the determination result of the special figure variable game to be started is a big hit. If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S1403. If it is determined that the command includes information indicating that the determination result of the change is small hit or miss, the process proceeds to step S1417.

  In step S1403 following step S1401, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is “special drawing D”, “special drawing E”, or “special drawing F”. For example, in the command setting transmission process, the first sub-control unit 400 has a command for transmission from the main control unit 300, and the stop pattern of the change is “Special Figure D”, “Special Figure E”, or “Special Figure F”. If it is determined that information indicating that the change is included, the process proceeds to step S1405, and information indicating that the stop symbol of the change is “special drawing D”, “special drawing E”, or “special drawing F” is included in the command. If it is determined that no is included, the process proceeds to step S1413.

  On the other hand, in step S1417 following step S1401, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation is a small hit. For example, if the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 in the command setting transmission process includes information indicating that the determination result of the variation is a small hit, step S1405. If it is determined that the command includes information indicating that the determination result of the fluctuation is out of order, the process proceeds to S1419.

  In step S1405 subsequent to step S1403 or step S1417, it is determined whether or not the electric support is not attached after the big hit game, that is, whether or not the electric support state is not changed after the big hit game. For example, if the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the current control state is the latent probability changing state and the stop symbol of the change is “special drawing D”, the first sub-control unit 400 will not be charged after the big hit game related to the “special drawing D”. It determines with shifting to a support state, and transfers to step S1415. Further, for example, the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the current control state is not the latent probability changing state and the change symbols of the change are “special drawing D” to “special drawing H”, or the current control state If it is determined that the state is the latent probability change state and the stop symbols of the change are “Special Figure E” to “Special Figure H”, it is determined that the game does not shift to the electric support state after the big hit game, and the process proceeds to Step S1407. .

  When the control state is not the latent probability changing state, the control state after the big hit game related to the big hit with the stop symbol of the fluctuation being “Special Figure D” (the first “Special Figure D”) becomes the latent probability changing state and becomes non-electrical. It becomes support state. In this case, the first sub-control unit 400 determines in step S1405 that no electric support is provided even if the change stop symbol is “special drawing D”, and proceeds to step S1407. Yes. On the other hand, when the control state is the latent probability changing state and the stop symbol of the change is “special drawing D”, the control state after the big hit game related to the “special drawing D” is the electric support state. In this case, the first sub-control unit 400 determines in step S1405 that the electric support is attached even if the fluctuation stop symbol is “special drawing D”, and proceeds to step S1415. .

  In step S1407 following step S1405, it is determined whether or not the confidential mode flag is on. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the secret mode flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. If the value is “1”, the first sub control unit 400 determines that the secret mode is in progress and proceeds to step S1409. If it is determined that the value is “0” and it is not in the secret mode, the process proceeds to step S1411.

  In step S1411 subsequent to step S1407, the confidential mode flag is set to an on state. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 stores “1” as the value of the secret mode flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, and the process proceeds to step S1409.

  In step S1409 following step S1407 or step S1411, 30 times are set as the number of times of execution of the secret mode. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the number of times of execution of the confidential mode provided in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, adds 30 to the read value and stores the value in the predetermined storage area, The secret mode update process is terminated.

  In step S1413, where it is determined in step S1403 that the jackpot symbol is not "Special Figure D" to "Special Figure F", it is determined whether or not the concealment mode flag is on. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the secret mode flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. If the value is “1”, the first sub control unit 400 determines that the secret mode is in progress and proceeds to step S1415. If the value is “0” and it is determined that the mode is not in the secret mode, the secret mode process is terminated.

  In step S1415 subsequent to step S1413, the number of executions of the secret mode is cleared. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 stores “0” as the value of the secret mode execution count provided in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, clears the secret mode execution count, and ends the secret mode update process. Note that the number of executions of the secret mode may be cleared, and the value of the secret mode flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 may be rewritten to “0” to set the flag to an off state.

  In step S1419 following step S1417, it is determined whether or not the confidential mode flag is on. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the secret mode flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. If the value is “1”, the first sub control unit 400 determines that the secret mode is in progress and proceeds to step S1421. If the value is “0” and it is determined that the mode is not in the secret mode, the secret mode update process is terminated without executing steps S1421 to S1425 described later.

  In step S1421 following step S1419, 1 is subtracted from the number of executions of the secret mode. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 stores again a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the number of executions of the secret mode stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in the storage area, and proceeds to step S1423.

  In step S1423 following step S1421, it is determined whether or not the value of the number of executions of the secret mode is zero. For example, if the first sub-control unit 400 determines in step S1421 that the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the number of executions of the secret mode is 0, the first sub-control unit 400 proceeds to step S1425. The secret mode update process ends.

  In step S1425 subsequent to step S1423, the confidential mode flag is set to an off state. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 re-stores 0 as the value of the secret mode flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in the storage area, sets the secret mode flag to the off state, and performs the secret mode update process. finish.

  In the present embodiment, the initial setting period of the concealment mode is fixed to a period in which the special figure variable game is executed 30 times. The value of 30 times is a value close to the probability of winning a big hit during the special figure high probability, and the execution period of the concealment mode is set to a period during which the player can greatly expect the special figure high probability. Yes. As described above, in the present embodiment, the end timing of the concealment mode is associated with the number of executions of the special figure variable game, but is not limited to this. It can be adopted as appropriate, such as an end drawing.

  Next, the special figure variation game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS. FIG.24 and FIG.25 is a figure explaining the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 by Example 1 of this Embodiment. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a prior notice notification that indicates the certainty of winning is executed. FIG. 24A to FIG. 25G show, in this order, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment in time series.

  FIG. 24A shows that, for example, the special figure 1 variable game has already started during the low probability of special figure and non-electric support, and each of the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 is shown. Fig. 9 shows a state in which the symbol variation display in which the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from the top to the bottom as shown by the downward thick arrow in the drawing is executed. Prior to this symbol variation display, the following processing is executed.

  For example, the main control unit 300 displays a falling lottery as necessary, whether or not the special figure 1 start information related to the special figure 1 variable game is appropriate, and a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game. The determination result is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Since the current control state is in the special figure low probability, the falling lottery is not executed, and the determination result is, for example, out of place (the variation time is 10000 ms, for example).

  The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including the information of these determination results executes the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game shown in FIGS. For example, in the first sub-control unit 400, the pre-reading notice execution flag is off (No in step S1301), and the special figure 1 variable game is out of place and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401). It is determined that the concealment mode flag is not in the on state (No in step S1419), and it is determined that the lottery for the normal advance notice is not selected and the determination result of the special figure 1 variable game is not notified in advance (step S1327). ), The first sub-control unit advance notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  Also, during this special figure 1 variable game, three game balls win the special figure 1 start opening 230, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived three special figure 1 start information. For example, for the first special figure 1 start information derived from the main control unit 300, the current control state is not in electric support (No in step S1000), and there is a special figure 1 prize (Yes in step S1101). ), The current control state is in the special figure low probability and not in the special figure high probability (No in step S1103), and is determined in advance with reference to the validity determination low probability table shown in FIG. (No in step S1107), the pre-determination result is out of place (No in step S1111, No in step S1115), and referring to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. (Step S1119), referring to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time decision table shown in FIG. 11, for example, to determine the fluctuation time as 8000 ms (step S1121) To completion.

  In addition, the main control unit 300, for example, with respect to the special figure 1 start information derived for the second and third ones, the current control state is not in the electric support (No in step S1000), and the prize of special figure 1 is won. (Yes in step S1101), the current control state is not in the special figure high probability (No in step S1103), and it is pre-determined with reference to the low / probability determination table shown in FIG. S1107), the preliminary determination result is a big hit (Yes in step S1111), and referring to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. 10C, the stop symbol is determined as, for example, “special figure A” (step S1113). With reference to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11, the fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 65000 ms (step S1121), and the special figure prefetching process is terminated.

  The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including the information on the result of the prior determination results for each special figure 1 variable game for which the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. Execute. For example, for the special figure 1 variable game related to the first hold, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in the off state (No in step S1201), the change time is 8000 ms, and is predetermined. Is not changed (No in step S1203), and the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 provided in the effect display area 208d of the decorative symbol display device 208 has a circular shape filled with a predetermined color as a default display. A hold command for displaying a hold display image in the display mode of the hold display is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is ended.

  In addition, for the special figure 1 variable game related to the second suspension, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in an off state (No in step S1201), the change time is 65000 ms, and is predetermined. Variation time (Yes in step S1203), the current control state is not in power support (No in step S1205), the winning is Special Figure 1 (Yes in step S1217), and the current control state is special. In the low probability state and not the high probability lottery state (No in step S1219), the pending change lottery result according to the pending change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. No in S1211, according to the display mode of the circular hold display filled in the predetermined color as the default display in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 Outputting a hold command for displaying the distillate display image decorative pattern display unit 208 (step S1223), and ends the first sub-control unit prefetch announcement execution process at startup information winning.

  In addition, for the special figure 1 variable game related to the third suspension, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag being off (No in step S1201), the variable time is 65000 ms, and is predetermined. Variation time (Yes in step S1203), the current control state is not in electric support (No in step S1205), the winning is special figure 1 (Yes in step S1217), and the control state has a special figure low probability. In the hold change lottery according to the hold change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. 16, the “hold C (win)” is won (Yes in steps S1209 and S1211). ) Since this is the third hold, the number of prefetching notice executions is set to “3” (step S1213), and the prefetching notice execution flag is turned on. (Step S1215), a hold command for displaying a hold display image in the display form of the hold display of “Sabohani” in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and start information The first sub-control unit look-ahead notice execution process at the time of winning is finished.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 24A, the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 provided on the lower left side in the effect display area 208d of the decorative symbol display device 208 is filled with a predetermined color as a hold display. On hold display images a1 and a2 in a circular display mode, and a hold display image a3 in the “Sabohani” display mode are displayed next to it.

  The special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 informs the player of the number of special figure 1 random value pairs stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area as the special figure 1 hold number (the special figure 1 start information hold number). It is possible. The special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is one special figure 1 for one special figure 1 random value set among a plurality of special figure 1 random value sets stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area. It is configured to be able to notify the number of the special figure 1 hold by performing the hold display of the variable game. In addition, the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 holds the special figure 1 variable game corresponding to the symbol change display that is the subject of the prior notice notification (for example, the hold that was won in the hold change lottery process (step S1209 or step S1221)). By changing the display, it is configured to be able to execute a prefetch notice.

  In this example, in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, the hold display image a1 corresponding to the first special figure 1 variable game and the hold corresponding to the second special figure 1 variable game are held. A display image a2 and a hold display image a3 corresponding to the third special figure 1 variable game are displayed, indicating that a total of three special figure 1 variable games are held. In addition, the special figure 1 variable game related to the first hold is displayed by default because the hold change lottery process is not executed, and the special figure 1 variable game related to the second hold is included in the hold change lottery. Since it was unsuccessful, it is displayed as a default, and the special figure 1 variable game related to the third hold is in a hold display mode of “Sabohani” because it is selected as a hold change lottery. The first sub-control unit 400 displays four hold display images in the hold display area 208d1 when four sets of the special figure 1 random value are stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area. In this way, the decorative symbol display device 208 is driven.

  Further, on the lower right side in the effect display area 208d, a special figure 2 hold display area 208d2 for displaying a hold related to the special figure 2 variable game is provided. Since the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2 has the same function and function as the special figure 2 hold display area 208d1 except that the special figure 2 variable game hold is displayed, detailed description thereof will be omitted. Note that, since the special figure 2 variable game is not held at the time point in FIG. 24A, no hold display image is displayed in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (b), “decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 10,000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display is started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is unjustified, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notice effect. In addition, since there is no change in the number of special figure 1 variable games held within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display images a1, a2, and a3 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 acquires a special figure 1 random value pair stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the storage of the acquired special figure 1 random value set is erased and the remaining special figure 1 random value set data is processed so that the holding order is incremented by one, and the special figure 1 reserved number is subtracted by one. To do. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In the present embodiment, for example, because the current control state is in the special figure low probability, the falling lottery is not executed, and the result of the determination is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the special figure 1 variable game The fluctuation time is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game is executed, the pre-read advance notice execution flag is on (Yes in Step S1301), and it is not in power support (Yes in Step S1303), The special game 1 is not a big game or a small game (No in step S1401, No in step S1417), the concealment mode flag is not on (No in step S1419), and the fluctuation is shown in FIG. (Yes in step S1315), 1 is subtracted from the value “3” of the prefetching notice execution number (step S1307), the number of prefetching notice execution is 2 and not 0 (No in step S1309). The variable game is out of place, not a big hit or a small hit (No in step S1317), and the change time of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000. Because it is s, the lottery process for the normal notice is not executed and it is determined that the determination result of the special figure 1 variable game is not given (step S1327), and the first sub-control section notice is executed at the start of the special figure variable game. End the process.

  When the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 24C, the decorative symbols are displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the downward bold arrows in the drawing. The special figure 1 variable game of the effect of moving (rotating) from top to bottom is started.

  In addition, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is reduced by 1, as shown in FIG. 24C, the holding display image a1 has a circular holding display mode. Thus, the hold display image a2 is in the “Sabohani” hold display mode, and the hold display image a3 is deleted.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (d), “decoration 7-decoration 1-decoration 1” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since the number of reserved special figure 1 variable games is not changed within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display images a1 and a2 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. The main control unit 300 executes the falling lottery as necessary, acquires the pair of the special figure 1 random value stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area, and starts the special figure variable game to be started next In addition, the stored determination of the special figure 1 random value set is deleted, and the remaining data of the special figure 1 random value group is processed so that the data holding order is incremented by one. 1 Subtract 1 from the number of holds. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Since the special figure low probability state is present at this time, the falling lottery is not executed, the determination result is a big hit (for example, the stop symbol is “special figure A”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 65000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game is executed, the pre-read advance notice execution flag is on (Yes in step S1301), and is not in electric support (No in step S1303). The special figure 1 variable game is a big hit (Yes in step S1401), and the big hit symbol of the fluctuation is “Special figure A”, not “Special figure D” to “Special figure F” (No in step S1403). The secret mode flag is not in the on state (No in step S1413), the change is special figure 1 (Yes in step S1315), and 1 is subtracted from the value “2” of the prefetching notice execution count (step S1307). The notice execution count is 1 and not 0 (No in step S1309), the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit (Yes in step S1317), and the pre-read notice is executed. The number is rewritten to 0 (step S1319), the pre-reading notice execution flag is turned off (step S1321), the hold display initialization flag is turned on (step S1323), and the lottery process for the normal notice is executed to execute “notice B Is won (step S1327), and the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  When the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 24 (e), decorative symbols are displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by thick downward arrows in the drawing. The special figure 1 variable game of the effect of moving (rotating) from top to bottom is started.

  In addition, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is reduced by 1, as shown in FIG. 24 (e), the holding display image a1 has a holding of "Sabohani". The display mode is set, and the hold display image a2 is deleted.

  In order to give a notice of the success / failure determination result of the special figure 1 variable game being executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the symbol variation display in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, Normal notice notification is started. As shown in FIG. 24F, the symbol variation display is continued in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and the symbol "Osama" is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b. Furthermore, after a predetermined time has passed, “decoration 7” is displayed in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and “medium” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b as shown in FIG. A symbol of “Leach” is displayed, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, a symbol “Princess Sister” instead of “Leach” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b as shown in FIG. 24 (h). Is displayed to notify that the effect of “reach B” is being executed. As shown in FIG. 24 (i), after a lapse of a predetermined time after the display of “Princess Sister” in the middle symbol display area 208b (for example, after a lapse of 65000 ms after the symbol variation display is started), “Decoration 7” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b, and as a result, “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is notified that the game is a big hit. In addition, since the number of special figure 1 variable games held does not change within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display image a1 in the hold display area 208d1 is maintained. In addition, when “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, the hold display image a1 maintains the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani”. ing.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed after “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, the main control unit 300 starts a big hit game and receives a winning effect command. Is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. As shown in FIG. 24 (j), the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command controls the decorative symbol display device 208 to display the character image “big hit” in the effect display area 208d, The effect related to the big hit is executed. During the execution of the effect related to the 15R special big hit, the hold display image a1 is deleted.

  Thereafter, the jackpot game is continued, and when the 15-round jackpot game is finished, the main control unit 300 finishes the jackpot game, ends the jackpot game, and the value of the special figure probability variation flag (for example, the special figure probability change state). And a command including information such as the value of the time reduction flag (for example, the value “1” indicating the electric support state) is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (k), when the first sub-control unit 400 receives the command, the first sub-control unit 400 controls the decorative design display device 208 so as to display the character image “End of jackpot” in the effect display area 208d. Thereby, the pachinko machine 100 can notify the player that the big hit game is over.

  As shown in FIG. 24L, the first sub-control unit 400 redisplays “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c and initializes the hold display. Based on the flag being on, the decorative symbol display device 208 is controlled to redisplay the hold display image a1 in the hold display area 208d1 based on the display mode of the circular hold display of a predetermined color instead of “sabohani”. To do. The first sub-control unit 400 controls the decorative symbol display device 208 to display the hold display image a1 again, and then turns off the hold display initialization flag.

  Also, during this jackpot game, two game balls win the special figure 2 starting port 232, and the following processing is executed during the jackpot game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived two special figure 2 start information. The main control unit 300, for example, for the special figure 2 starting information derived for the first and second ones, the current control state is not in the electric support (No in step S1000), and is not the prize of special figure 1 (No in step S1101), and the special figure prefetch process is terminated.

  The main control unit 300 transmits to the first sub-control unit 400 a command including information indicating that the number of special figure 2 variable games held (the number of special figure 2 holds) has increased by two. The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command executes the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. 20 for each reserved special figure 2 variable game. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in the off state (No in step S1201) for the special figure 2 variable game related to the first and second hold, respectively, and information on the change time Is not determined because it is unknown (No in step S1203), and a predetermined color that is a default display is displayed in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2 provided in the effect display area 208d of the decorative symbol display device 208 Is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 to display a hold display image in a circular hold display mode filled in (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning Exit. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 24 (l), the special figure 2 holding display area 208d2 provided on the lower right side in the effect display area 208d of the decorative symbol display device 208 has a circular shape filled with a predetermined color. The hold display images b1 and b2 in the hold display mode are displayed.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a special figure 2 priority variation machine that executes a special figure 2 variation game with priority over a special figure 1 variation game. For this reason, the special figure variable game to be started next is a special figure variable game. Prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 24 (m), for example, the following processing is executed. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 obtains a pair of special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the stored special figure 2 random value set is erased and the remaining special figure 2 random value set data is processed so that the data holding rank is incremented by one. To do. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  Since the previous special figure 1 variable game is a 15R special big hit with the jackpot symbol of “Special Figure A”, the control state has shifted to the special figure high probability normal figure high probability state after the big hit game ends. Therefore, prior to the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 24 (m), the main control unit 300 executes the falling lottery before the determination of success or failure. In this example, for example, referring to the falling lottery table shown in FIG. 10 (d), the falling lottery is wrong, and the result of the determination is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the special figure 2 changes. The variation time of the game is 8000 ms.

  Also, the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game is executed, the pre-read advance notice execution flag is OFF (No in step S1301), and the special figure 2 variable game is out of place and a big hit However, it is not a small hit (No in Step S1401, No in Step S1417), the concealment mode flag is not in an on state (No in Step S1419), and it is unsuccessful in the lottery of the normal notice, and whether or not the special figure 2 variable game is successful. The determination result is determined not to be notified (step S1327), and the first sub-control unit notification execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  After the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 24 (m), the decorative symbols are displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the downward bold arrows in the drawing. The special figure 1 variable game of the effect that moves (rotates) from top to bottom is started. In addition, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 2 hold number is decreased by 1, the hold display image b2 is deleted as shown in FIG.

  After a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed from the start of the symbol variation display in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, as shown in FIG. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 2 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since there is no change in the number of hold of the special figure 1 and special figure 2 variable games within the predetermined time, the hold display image a1 maintains the display in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, and the hold display image b1 The display in the hold display area 208d2 in FIG. 2 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 obtains a pair of special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the stored special figure 2 random number set is deleted, and the special figure 2 holding number is subtracted by one. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  Since the falling lottery executed prior to the start of the previous special figure 2 variable game was unfair, the control state is maintained as the special figure high probability normal figure high probability state. For this reason, prior to the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 24 (o), the main control unit 300 executes the falling lottery before the determination of success or failure. In this example, for example, the falling lottery table is won with reference to the falling lottery table shown in FIG. 10D, and the control state falls to the special figure low probability state. For this reason, the success / failure determination is executed with reference to the failure determination low probability table shown in FIG. 10 (b). The variation time of the game is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game is executed, the pre-read advance notice execution flag is OFF (No in step S1301), and the current control state is in electric support (step S1301). (Yes in S1303), the special figure 2 variable game is out of the game and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in Step S1401, No in Step S1417), the secret mode flag is not on (No in Step S1419), and is normal. It is determined that the special lottery lottery is not won and the special figure 2 variable game is determined not to be notified (step S1327), and the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  After the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 24 (o), the decorative symbols are displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the downward bold arrows in the drawing. The special figure 2 variable game of the effect that moves (rotates) from top to bottom is started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 2 holding number is decreased by 1, the holding display image b1 is deleted as shown in FIG.

  In addition, the following processing is executed based on the fact that one game ball wins the special figure 2 starting port 232 during the execution period of the special figure 2 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived special figure 2 start information. Regarding the special figure 2 start information, the main control unit 300 is in the current support state (Yes in step S1000), is a special figure 2 prize (Yes in step S1001), and the current control state is special. FIG. 10 (b) shows a low probability table for determination of success / failure in advance because the figure is in low probability and not in the special figure high probability (No in step S1003), and the winning lottery is won. In step S1107), the pre-determination result is a big hit (Yes in step S1011), and for example, “special drawing A” is determined with reference to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. 10C (step S1013). The variation time is determined to be, for example, 45000 ms with reference to the special figure 2 variable display time determination table shown in FIG.

  The main control unit 300 transmits to the first sub-control unit 400 a command including information indicating that the number of special figure 2 variable games held (the number of special figure 2 reservations) has increased by one, a preliminary determination result, and variable time. The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command executes a first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 indicates that the pre-reading notice execution flag is off (No in step S1201), the variation time is 45000 ms, which is a predetermined variation time (Yes in step S1203), and the current control The status is in power support (Yes in step S1205), the winning is a special figure 2 (Yes in step S1207), and “holding C (definite)” in the holding change lottery by the holding change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. Is selected (step S1209, Yes in step S1211), the number of prefetching notice execution is set to “1” because it is the first hold (step S1213), and the prefetching notice execution flag is turned on (step S1215). In the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2, the hold display image according to the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani” is displayed. Outputting a hold command because the decorative pattern display unit 208 (step S1223), and ends the first sub-control unit prefetch announcement execution process at startup information winning. As a result, as shown in FIG. 25A, in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2, the hold display image b1 in the hold display mode of “Sabohani” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (b), “decoration 6-decoration 2-decoration 4” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display is started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 2 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since there is no change in the number of hold of the special figure 1 and special figure 2 variable games within the predetermined time, the hold display image a1 maintains the display in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, and the hold display image b1 The display in the hold display area 208d2 in FIG. 2 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. After executing the falling lottery as necessary, the main control unit 300 acquires the pair of the special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area, and starts the special figure change to be started next. While determining whether the game is successful or not, the stored special figure 2 random value set is erased, and the special figure 2 holding number is subtracted by one. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In the present embodiment, for example, since it has already fallen to a special figure low probability state, the fall lottery is not executed, and the result of the success / failure determination becomes a big hit (for example, the stop symbol is “special figure A”), and the special figure 2 variable game The variation time is 45000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game is executed, the pre-read advance notice execution flag is on (Yes in step S1301), the electric support is in progress (Yes in step S1303), The fluctuation is special figure 2 (Yes in step S1305), and 1 is subtracted from the value “1” of the prefetching notice execution number (step S1307), the prefetching notice execution number is 0 (Yes in step S1309), and the prefetching notice is obtained. The running flag is turned off (step S1311), the lottery process for the normal notice is executed and “notice A” is won (step S1327), and the first sub-control part notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is executed. finish.

  After the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), the decorative symbols are displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the downward bold arrows in the drawing. The special figure 2 variable game of the effect that moves (rotates) from top to bottom is started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 2 hold number is decreased by 1, the hold display image b2 is deleted as shown in FIG.

  In order to give a notice of the success / failure determination result of the special figure 2 variable game being executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the symbol variation display in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, Normal notice notification is started. As shown in FIG. 25D, the symbol variation display is continued in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and the symbol “princess” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 25 (e), “decoration 7” is displayed in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and “reach” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b instead of “princess”. ”Is displayed, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 25 (f), the symbol“ Panda ”is displayed instead of“ Leach ”in the middle symbol display area 208 b and“ Leach ”is displayed. A ”is notified that the effect is being executed. As shown in FIG. 25 (g), after a predetermined time has elapsed since the “Panda” was displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b (for example, after 45,000 ms has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started), “Decoration 7” is displayed in the area 208b, whereby “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit. It is notified that it is. In addition, since the number of special figure 1 variable games held within the predetermined time does not change, the display of the hold display image a1 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a game machine of a special figure 2 priority change machine having a falling lottery function. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 notifies the pre-reading result notification (for example, the pre-reading result notification of the special figure 2 variable game) that is not likely to be in the special figure low probability state when the control state is pre-determined and is not determined. In the case of special figure low-probability normal figure low-probability special figure 1 variable game look-ahead result notification), it is possible to refer to the pending change notice table 1 that can select a specific prior notice notice that suggests a winning decision. It is like that. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 100 notifies the pre-reading result that the control state may be in a special figure high probability state when it is determined in advance and may become a special figure low probability state when it is determined to be correct (for example, during a special figure high probability low figure probability). In the case of the special figure 1 variable game pre-reading result notification), it is possible to refer to the pending change notice table 2 in which the advance notice notice suggesting hitting cannot be selected. As a result, the pachinko machine 100 can execute the pre-determined pre-reading result notification, and the suspension of performing the pre-determined pre-reading result notification becomes a deviation in the actual determination of whether or not the pre-reading result notification and the determination result. In some cases, conflicts can be prevented.

  Next, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to Example 2 of the present embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. FIG. FIG. 26 and FIG. 27 are diagrams for explaining the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, an example in which special figure prefetch notice is executed in the secret mode will be described. FIG. 26A to FIG. 27A or FIG. 26A to FIG. 27B show, in this order, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to this embodiment in time series.

  In FIG. 26 (a), for example, the special figure 1 variable game is finished during the special figure low probability and non-electric support, and the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 are "Decoration 1 -Decoration 2 -Decoration 3" is stopped and displayed, and for example, it is notified that the big win of "Special Figure F" has been won. Also, in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, a default display hold display image a1 is displayed to notify that one special figure 1 variable game is held. Prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game related to the jackpot of the “special figure F”, the following processing is executed.

  For example, the main control unit 300 displays a falling lottery as necessary, whether or not the special figure 1 start information related to the special figure 1 variable game is appropriate, and a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game. The determination result is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Since the current control state is in the special figure low probability, the falling lottery is not executed, the determination result is, for example, the big hit of “Special Figure F”, and the variation time is, for example, 15000 ms.

  The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including the information of these determination results executes the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game shown in FIGS. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 indicates that the pre-reading notice execution flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit (Yes in step S1401), and the stop symbol is “special figure”. F ”(Yes in step S1403), the system does not shift to the post-hit game post-power support state (Yes in step S1405), the secret mode flag is not on (No in step S1407), and the secret mode flag is turned on. (Step S 1411), “30” is set as the value of the number of times of execution of the concealment mode (Step S 1409), and it is determined that the lottery of the normal notice is not selected and the result of the special figure 1 variable game is determined not to be notified ( Step S1327), the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  In the first sub-control unit advance notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. 26A, the concealment mode setting flag is set to the on state. . For this reason, when a predetermined time elapses after the big hit game after “decoration 1—decoration 2—decoration 3” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, FIG. As shown in the drawing, a jackpot end effect is displayed in the effect display area 208d to display a character image of “confidential mode entry”. Thereby, the player can recognize that the control state of the pachinko machine 100 has shifted to the latent probability changing state.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game related to the hold display image a1 shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 acquires a special figure 1 random value pair stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the stored special figure 1 random number set is deleted, and the special figure 1 holding number is subtracted by one. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The control state after the jackpot game of “Special Figure F” shown in FIG. 26A has shifted to a special figure high probability normal figure low probability state. For this reason, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery, for example, wins and falls into a special figure low probability state, and the result of the determination of failure is lost (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”). The variation time of the variable game is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 1 variable game is out of play and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, no in step S1417), and the confidential mode flag is on. Is in a state (Yes in step S1419), 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of times of execution of the secret mode and “29” is set (step S1421), and the value of the number of times of execution of the secret mode is 29 and not 0 (in step S1423). No), since the time period of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms, it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is successful without executing the normal notice lottery process. It was determined not to notice (step S1327), and ends the first sub-control unit announcement execution process at the start of the Japanese Figure variations game.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (c), the decorative symbols move from top to bottom as indicated by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 (rotate). The special figure 1 variable game of the production to be started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is decreased by 1, the holding display image a1 is deleted as shown in FIG. Meanwhile, the first sub-control unit 400 includes a secret mode execution count display counter in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. The counter is incremented by 1 every time 1 is subtracted from the value of the secret mode execution count, and is reset (the counter value is 0) when the secret mode flag is turned off. The first sub-control unit 400 controls the decorative symbol display device 208 so that the counter value is displayed in the effect display area 208d as the number of executions of the secret mode. For example, the counter value of the secret mode execution count display counter at the time shown in FIG. 26C is “1” because the secret mode execution count is subtracted once. For this reason, the first sub-control unit 400 controls the decorative symbol display device 208 to display the character image “first time in the concealment mode” above the effect display area 208d based on the counter value.

  Also, during this special figure 1 variable game, three game balls win the special figure 1 start opening 230, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived three special figure 1 start information. The main control unit 300, for example, for the special figure 1 start information derived for the first and second ones, the current control state is not in electric support (No in step S1000), and there is a special figure 1 prize. (Yes in step S1101), since the falling lottery has been won, the current control state is in the special figure low probability and not in the special figure high probability (No in step S1103), the success or failure shown in FIG. 10 (b) Predetermining with reference to the determination low probability table (step S1107), the predetermination result is out of order (No in step S1111, No in step S1115), refer to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. Then, for example, “Special Figure I” is determined (step S1119), and the fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 8000 ms with reference to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 1121), and ends the special symbol look-ahead processing.

  Further, the main control unit 300, for example, with respect to the special figure 1 start information derived for the third one, the current control state is not in electric support (No in step S1000), and there is a special figure 1 prize (step S1101). Yes), because the falling lottery is won, the current control state is in the low probability of the special figure and not in the high probability of the special figure (No in step S1103), the low for success determination shown in FIG. 10B Pre-determining with reference to the probability table (step S1107), the pre-determination result is out of place (No in step S1111, No in step S1115). For example, referring to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. “Special figure I” is determined (step S1119), and the fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 40000 ms with reference to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 (step S1121). To end the special symbol look-ahead processing.

  The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including the information on the result of the prior determination results for each special figure 1 variable game for which the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. Execute. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in the off state (No in step S1201) for the special figure 1 variable game related to the first and second hold, and the variable time is 8000 ms. It is determined that it is not the predetermined variation time (No in step S1203), and the reserved display image according to the display mode of the circular hold display filled in the predetermined color as the default display is displayed in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1. A hold command for display is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is terminated.

  Further, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in the off state (No in step S1201) for the special figure 1 variable game related to the third hold, and the change time is 40000 ms, which is predetermined. It is determined that it is the fluctuation time (Yes in step S1203), the current control state is not in the electric support (No in step S1205), the winning is the special figure 1 (Yes in step S1217), and the current control state Is a special figure low probability state and not a high probability lottery state (No in step S1219), the hold change lottery result by the hold change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. 16 is won (step S1209, step S1209). (Yes in S1211) Since it is the third hold, the pre-reading notice execution count is set to “3” (step S1213), and the pre-reading notice execution flag is set. (Step S1215), a hold command for displaying a hold display image in the display mode of the hold display of “Yoshimune” in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223). The first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is finished.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 26 (d), in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, hold display images a1 and a2 in a circular display mode filled with a predetermined color are displayed as a hold display, and “ The hold display image a3 in the display mode of “Yoshimune” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (e), “decoration 4-decoration 2-decoration 2” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c to notify that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since there is no change in the number of special figure 1 variable games held within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display images a1, a2, and a3 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. After executing the falling lottery as necessary, the main control unit 300 acquires the special figure 1 random value group stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and starts the special figure variation that is started next. In addition to determining whether the game is successful or not, the stored special figure 1 random value set is erased, and the remaining special figure 1 random value pair data is processed so that the holding order is incremented by one. Subtract 1 from the number of special figure 1 holds. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In this example, because the special figure is in a low probability state, the falling lottery is not executed, the result of the judgment is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms. .

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is on (Yes in step S1301), the control state is usually a low-probability state, not in electric support (No in step S1303), and the special figure 1 variable game is off. Neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, No in step S1417), the secret mode flag is on (Yes in step S1419), and 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of executions of the secret mode to set “28”. (Step S1421) The number of executions of the secret mode is 28 and not 0 (No in Step S1423), and the fluctuation is FIG. 1 (Step S13). 5), 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of pre-reading executions to set “2” (step S1307), the number of pre-reading executions is 2 and not 0 (No in step S1309), and the fluctuation is out of place. If the special figure 1 variable game has a time duration of 8000 ms and the normal figure lottery process is not executed, the success / failure determination result of the special figure 1 variable game is notified in advance. It decides not to do (step S1327), and ends the first sub-control unit advance notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (f), the decorative symbols move from top to bottom as shown by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 (rotate). The special figure 1 variable game of the production to be started. In addition, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the number of special figure 1 holds is reduced by 1, the default display is maintained for the hold display image a1, and the hold display image a2 is “Yoshimune”. The hold display mode is set, and the hold display image a3 is deleted. Further, since the value of the secret mode execution count display counter is incremented by 1 to “2”, a character image of “second secrecy mode” is displayed above the effect display area 208d.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (g), “decoration 7-decoration 1-decoration 1” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display is started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since the number of reserved special figure 1 variable games is not changed within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display images a1 and a2 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  Next, prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. After executing the falling lottery as necessary, the main control unit 300 acquires the special figure 1 random value group stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and starts the special figure variation that is started next. In addition to determining whether the game is successful or not, the stored special figure 1 random value set is erased, and the remaining special figure 1 random value pair data is processed so that the holding order is incremented by one. Subtract 1 from the number of special figure 1 holds. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In this example, because the special figure is in a low probability state, the falling lottery is not executed, the result of the judgment is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms. .

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is on (Yes in step S1301), the control state is usually a low-probability state, not in electric support (No in step S1303), and the special figure 1 variable game is off. Neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, No in step S1417), the secret mode flag is on (Yes in step S1419), and 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of executions of the secret mode to set “27”. (Step S1421), the number of executions of the secret mode is 27 and not 0 (No in Step S1423), and the fluctuation is FIG. 1 (Step S13). 5), 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of pre-reading executions to set “1” (step S1307), the number of pre-reading executions is 1 and not 0 (No in step S1309), and the fluctuation is out of place. If the special figure 1 variable game has a time duration of 8000 ms and the normal figure lottery process is not executed, the success / failure determination result of the special figure 1 variable game is notified in advance. It decides not to do (step S1327), and ends the first sub-control unit advance notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (h), the decorative symbols are moved (rotated) from top to bottom in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the downward-pointing thick arrows. ) Special Figure 1 Floating Game is started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is reduced by 1, the holding display image a1 has a holding display mode of “Yoshimune”, and the holding display image a2 is erased. Is done. Further, since the value of the secret mode execution count display counter is incremented by 1 to “3”, a character image “Secret mode third” is displayed above the effect display area 208d.

  Further, during this special figure 1 variable game, one game ball is won at the special figure 2 starting port 232, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived special figure 2 start information. For example, for the derived special figure 2 start information, the main control unit 300 is in a low probability state and is not currently in power support (No in step S1000), and is a special figure 2 prize. It is determined that the winning is not for special figure 1 (No in step S1101), and the special figure prefetching process is terminated.

  The main control unit 300 transmits to the first sub-control unit 400 a command including information indicating that the special figure 2 hold count has increased by one. The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command executes a first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. In the first sub-control unit 400, the pre-reading notice execution flag is on (Yes in step S1201), and the information on the variation time is unknown. Is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is performed. Exit. As a result, as shown in FIG. 26 (h), in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2, the hold display image b1 in a circular hold display mode filled in a predetermined color is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (i), “decoration 3-decoration 6-decoration 8” is displayed after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) after the symbol variation display is started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since the number of special figure 1 variable games held within the predetermined time does not change, the display of the hold display image a1 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a special figure 2 priority variation machine that executes a special figure 2 variation game with priority over a special figure 1 variation game. For this reason, the special figure variable game to be started next is a special figure variable game. Prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 26 (j), for example, the following processing is executed. First, the main control unit 300, after executing the falling lottery as necessary, acquires the pair of the special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area and starts the special process to be started next. While determining whether or not the figure variation game is true, the stored special figure 2 random value set is erased, and the special figure 2 holding number is subtracted by one. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In this example, because of the low probability state of special figure, the falling lottery is not executed, the result of the judgment is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game is 8000 ms. .

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is on (Yes in step S1301), the control state is usually a low-probability state and not in electric support (No in step S1303), and the special figure 2 variable game is off. Neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, No in step S1417), the secret mode flag is on (Yes in step S1419), and 1 is subtracted from the value of the secret mode execution count to set “26”. (Step S1421), the number of executions of the secret mode is 26 and not 0 (No in Step S1423), and the fluctuation is special figure 2 and not special figure 1. No in step S1315), the fluctuation is out of place, neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1317), and the time period of the special figure 2 variable game is 8000 ms, so the lottery process for normal notice is not executed. It is determined not to give a notice of whether or not the special figure 2 variable game is successful (step S1327), and the first sub-control unit notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (j), the decorative symbols are moved (rotated) from top to bottom in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the downward-facing thick arrows. The special figure 1 variable game of the production to be started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 2 hold number is decreased by 1, the hold display image b1 is deleted. Further, since the value of the secret mode execution count display counter is incremented by 1 to “4”, a character image “Secret mode 4th” is displayed above the effect display area 208d.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (k), “decoration 1-decoration 6-decoration 7” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the start of symbol variation display in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 2 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since the number of special figure 1 variable games held within the predetermined time does not change, the display of the hold display image a1 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. After executing the falling lottery as necessary, the main control unit 300 acquires the special figure 1 random value group stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and starts the special figure variation that is started next. While determining whether the game is successful or not, the stored special figure 1 random value set is erased, and the special figure 1 holding number is subtracted by one. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In this example, because of the low probability state of special figure, the falling lottery is not executed, the result of the judgment is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 40000 ms. .

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is on (Yes in step S1301), the control state is usually a low-probability state, not in electric support (No in step S1303), and the special figure 1 variable game is off. Neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, No in step S1417), the secret mode flag is on (Yes in step S1419), and 1 is subtracted from the value of the secret mode execution count to set “25”. (Step S1421), the number of executions of the secret mode is 25 and not 0 (No in Step S1423), and the fluctuation is FIG. 1 (Step S13). 5), 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of pre-reading executions to set “0” (step S1307), the number of pre-reading executions is 0 (Yes in step S1309), and the pre-reading execution flag is set to an off state. (Step S1311), a lottery process for normal notice is executed and “notice A” is won (Step S1327), and the first sub-control part notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is ended.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (l), the decorative symbols move (rotate) from the top to the bottom as indicated by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208. ) Special Figure 1 Floating Game is started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is decreased by 1, the holding display image a1 is deleted. Also, since the value of the secret mode execution count display counter is incremented by 1 to “5”, a character image of “5th secret mode” is displayed above the effect display area 208d.

  In order to notify the advance determination result of the special figure 1 variable game being executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the symbol variation display in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, Normal notice notification is started. As shown in FIG. 26 (m), the symbol variation display is continued in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and the symbol “princess” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 26 (n), “decoration 7” is displayed in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and “reach” is substituted for “princess” in the middle symbol display area 208b. After a predetermined time has passed, a symbol “Panda” is displayed instead of “Leach” in the middle symbol display area 208b as shown in FIG. 26 (o). It is notified that the production is being executed. As shown in FIG. 27A, after a predetermined time has elapsed since “panda” was displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b (for example, after 40000 ms has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started), the middle symbol display area “Decoration 6” is displayed in 208b, and as a result, “decoration 7-decoration 6-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b and 208c, and the special figure 1 variable game is lost. It is notified that there is.

  On the other hand, when the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit of “Special Figure A”, for example, after the symbol “Panda” shown in FIG. 26 (o) is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b, FIG. ), “Decoration 7” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b, and “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. Then, it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the concealment mode is entered based on the jackpot of “Special Figure F” has been described as an example, but the jackpot of “Special Figure D” or “Special Figure E”, or “Special Figure G” or “ Even if the special figure H is a small hit, the special figure variable game similar to that shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the winning lottery executed prior to the special figure 1 variable game starting from FIG. 26 (c) is won is described as an example, but when the falling lottery is not selected, As for the special figure 1 start information corresponding to the hold display image a3 shown in FIG. 26D, the hold change lottery is executed with reference to the hold change notice lottery table 2 shown in FIG. 17 (step S1221). Since there is a possibility of falling from a special figure high probability state to a special figure low probability state in the special figure 2 floating game executed by the interrupt, the pachinko machine 100 reads the special figure in the special figure high probability state. The advance notice is executed with reference to the pending change advance notice lottery table 2 shown in FIG. 17, and the execution of the advance notice that suggests the winning is restricted.

  Further, in this embodiment, the example in which the control state falls to the special figure low probability state before the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 26 (h) is put on hold has been described. Not limited. For example, the pachinko machine 100 is a result of the prior determination based on predetermined special figure 1 start information (start information corresponding to the hold display image a3 shown in FIG. 26D) stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area. Is based on the fact that it has determined that a big hit will be derived, it is not a specific advance notice (a special notice by “special figure C (confirmation)”) that suggests a winning decision (for example, “hold A” or “hold”). B "prior notice notification) is started, and the special figure 2 starting information (hold shown in FIG. 26 (h)) stored in the special figure 2 random value storage area before the validity determination based on the predetermined special figure 1 starting information is started. Due to the falling lottery performed at the time of execution of the symbol variation display based on the start information corresponding to the display image b1), the symbol variation display based on the predetermined special Fig. 1 start information has been changed so as not to derive the specific success / failure determination result. Case (example Even if the random number value of the special figure 1 start information is “218 to 2179”), the advance notice is continued until the validity determination based on the predetermined special figure 1 start information is executed. It has become. That is, after entering the concealment mode, prior notice notification is started in the display mode of the “Yoshimune” hold display shown in FIG. 26D in the special figure high probability state, and then the special figure high probability state is maintained. h) Pachinko machine 100 holds “Yoshimune” even after winning the falling lottery executed prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game corresponding to the hold display image b1 shown in h) and falling to the special figure low probability state. The advance notice notification is continued in the display mode. In addition, the advance notice in the display mode of the “Yoshimune” hold display is executed until the start / fail judgment of the start information that is the subject of the advance notice. “Until the determination of success / failure” may be until the determination of success / failure is executed in the special drawing 1 or special drawing 2 related lottery process, or may be until immediately before the start of the special figure variation game.

  Next, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to Example 3 of the present embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining a special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, a special figure pre-reading notice in the case of winning the latent probability change big hit or small hit during the concealment mode will be described. FIG. 28A to FIG. 28O show, in this order, the special figure variation game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment in time series.

  In the present embodiment, a special figure variable game similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 26A to 27A is executed. FIG. 28 (a) shows a display state of the decorative symbol display device 208 similar to that shown in FIG. 27 (a), and shows a state in which the fifth special figure variable game has ended since the concealment mode was started. ing. After the “decoration 7-decoration 6-decoration 7” shown in FIG. 28A is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, 14 times (19 times after the start of the concealment mode) is changed. A game is executed (not shown), and any special figure variable game is lost. At the time when the 14th special figure variation game is finished, the control state is a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state, the pre-reading notice execution flag is off, and the value set as the number of times of execution of the secret mode Is “11” and the counter value of the secret mode execution count display counter is “19”.

  Next, prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 acquires a special figure 1 random value pair stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the storage of the acquired special figure 1 random value set is erased and the remaining special figure 1 random value set data is processed so that the holding order is incremented by one, and the special figure 1 reserved number is subtracted by one. To do. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Since the control state has already fallen into the special figure low probability state, the main control unit 300 does not execute the fall lottery, and the result of the success / failure determination is a big hit (for example, the stop symbol is “special figure F”). The variation time of the variable game is 15000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The notice execution flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit (Yes in step S1401), the stop symbol is “special figure F”, and the electric support is played after the big hit game. Not attached (Yes in step S1405), the secret mode flag is on (Yes in step S1419), “30” is reset as the value of the secret mode execution count, and the variation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 15000 ms. Therefore, the lottery process for the normal notice is executed, and it is determined that the result of the determination is not successful and the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is successful (step S1327). It ends the first sub-control unit announcement execution process at the start of the game.

  As shown in FIG. 28B, the decorative symbols move (rotate) from top to bottom as indicated by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208. The special figure 1 variable game of the production to be started. The first sub-control unit 400 increments the secret mode execution count display counter by one when resetting the secret mode execution count. For this reason, since the counter value of the counter is “20”, a character image “confidential mode 20th” is displayed above the effect display area 208d.

  Also, during this special figure 1 variable game, three game balls win the special figure 1 start opening 230, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived three special figure 1 start information. The main control unit 300, for example, for each of the first to third special figure 1 start information, the current control state is not in electric support (No in step S1000), and there is a special figure 1 prize (steps). (Yes in S1101), the current control state is in the special figure low probability (No in Step S1103), and it is determined in advance with reference to the low probability table for determination of correctness shown in FIG. 10B (No in Step S1107). The prior determination result is out of place (No in step S1111, No in step S1115), and the stop symbol is determined as, for example, “Special Figure I” with reference to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. S1119), with reference to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11, the fluctuation time is determined to be 8000 ms, for example (step S1121), and the special figure prefetching process is terminated.

  The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including the information on the result of the prior determination results for each special figure 1 variable game for which the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. Execute. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in the off state (No in step S1201) and the variation time is 8000 ms for each of the special figure 1 variable games related to the first to third suspensions. The predetermined variation time is determined (No in step S1203), and the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 provided in the effect display area 208d of the decorative symbol display device 208 is filled with a predetermined color as a default display. A hold command for displaying a hold display image in a circular hold display mode is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is ended. As a result, as shown in FIG. 28 (b), in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, hold display images a1, a2, and a3 in a circular hold display mode filled in a predetermined color are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (c), “decoration 3-decoration 4-decoration 5” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 15000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. The left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c are stopped and displayed to notify that the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed since “decoration 3—decoration 4—decoration 5” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, the big hit game related to “special drawing F” is executed, and the big hit game is executed. In the end effect, as shown in FIG. 28D, the effect display area 208d displays a character image of “Concealment mode continued”. Thereby, the player can recognize that the pachinko machine 100 maintains the control state of the latent probability changing state.

  The number of executions of the secret mode is reset and continued during the secret mode in the following cases. When the concealment mode is entered by first winning one of the big wins from “Special Figure D” to “Special Figure F”, the next win is “Special Figure E” to “Special Figure H”. The secret mode is continued. Also, when the concealment mode is entered by first winning the small win of “Special Figure G” or “Special Figure H”, the next winning combination is “Special Figure D” to “Special Figure H”. The secret mode is continued. On the other hand, when the concealment mode is entered by first winning the big win of “Special Figure D”, if the next win is “Special Figure D”, the concealment mode is not continued (in step S1405 shown in FIG. 23). No). After the big hit game related to the second “Special Figure D”, the control state shifts to the Special Figure High Probability Normal Figure High Probability (Electric Support Opportunity Change) state, and in the falling lottery at the interruption of the special figure 2 variable game after that There is a possibility that the control state falls into a special figure low probability state. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 is configured not to continue the concealment mode in the case of “special drawing D” → “special drawing D”.

  Next, prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. After executing the falling lottery as necessary, the main control unit 300 acquires the special figure 1 random value group stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and starts the special figure variation that is started next. In addition to determining whether the game is successful or not, the stored special figure 1 random value set is erased, and the remaining special figure 1 random value pair data is processed so that the holding order is incremented by one. Subtract 1 from the number of special figure 1 holds. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In the present embodiment, for example, the falling lottery is not executed, the result of the determination is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 1 variable game is out of play and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, no in step S1417), and the confidential mode flag is on. Is in a state (Yes in step S1419), 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of times of execution of the secret mode and “29” is set (step S1421), and the number of times of execution of the secret mode is 29 and not 0 (No in step S1423). Since the time period of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms, the determination result of the special figure 1 variable game is determined without executing the normal notice lottery process. It decides not to tell (step S1327), and ends the first sub-control unit announcement execution process at the start of the Japanese Figure variations game.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (f), the decorative symbols move from top to bottom as shown by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 (rotate). The special figure 1 variable game of the production to be started. In addition, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is decreased by 1, the default display is maintained for the holding display images a1 and a2, and the holding display image a3 is deleted. The Further, since the value of the secret mode execution count display counter is incremented by 1 to “21”, a character image “secret mode 21st” is displayed above the effect display area 208d.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (f), “decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 1” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display is started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since the number of reserved special figure 1 variable games is not changed within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display images a1 and a2 in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 is maintained.

  Thereafter, 29 special-figure variable games (not shown) are executed. For example, any special-figure variable game is lost, and as shown in FIG. 28 (g), the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c "Decoration 5-decoration 6-decoration 8" is stopped and displayed, and it is reported that the 29th special figure variation game is out of play. In addition, in the effect display area 208d, a character image of “50th concealment mode” is displayed, and the special figure variation game is executed 50 times cumulatively after the special figure variation game first enters the concealment mode. It has been reported. In addition, since all the 29 special figure variation games are out of place, the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state.

  In the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game executed prior to the start of the 29th (cumulative 50th) special figure variable game shown in FIG. The value is set to “0” (step S1423), and the confidential mode flag is set to an off state (step S1425). Further, when the secret mode flag is set to the off state, the secret mode execution count display counter is reset. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the number of times of execution of the concealment mode is repeated again during 30 special figure variable games counted from the special figure variable game next to the special figure variable game that triggered the resetting of the concealment mode execution frequency. When is not reset, the secret mode is terminated based on the fact that the secret mode flag is set to the off state. Note that if any of the 30 special figure variation games is won with a big win for "Special Figure E" or "Special Figure F" or a small hit for "Special Figure G" or "Special Figure H" Since the mode execution count is reset, the secret mode is continued.

  Next, in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, the hold display displayed in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 after a lapse of a predetermined time after “decoration 5—decoration 6—decoration 8” is stopped and displayed. The special figure 1 variable game corresponding to the image a1 is started. Prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game, for example, the following processing is executed. After executing the falling lottery as necessary, the main control unit 300 acquires the special figure 1 random value group stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and starts the special figure variation that is started next. While determining whether the game is successful or not, the stored special figure 1 random value set is erased, and the special figure 1 holding number is subtracted by one. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In the present embodiment, for example, the main control unit 300 does not execute the falling lottery, the result of the determination is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as the result of the determination of the execution executed in the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 1 variable game is out of play and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, no in step S1417), and the confidential mode flag is off. Since it is in a state (No in step S1419) and the variation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 8000 ms, it is determined that the lottery process for the normal notice is not executed and the success / failure determination result of the special figure 1 variable game is not notified. (Step S1327), the first sub-control unit advance notice execution process at the start of the special figure variable game is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (h), the decorative symbols move (rotate) from the top to the bottom as indicated by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208. The special figure 1 variable game of the production to be started.

  Further, during this special figure 1 variable game, one game ball is won at the special figure 1 starting port 230, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching process shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived special figure 1 start information. For example, for the derived special figure 1 start information derived from the main control unit 300, the current control state is a normal low-probability state and is not in electric support (No in step S1000), and is a special figure 1 prize ( (Yes in step S1101), the current control state is a special figure low probability state (No in step S1103), and it is determined in advance by referring to the low probability low probability table for determination of success / failure shown in FIG. 10B (step S1107). ) And the pre-judgment result is a big hit (Yes in step S1111), referring to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. 10C, for example, is determined as “special figure A” (step S1113), and is shown in FIG. With reference to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time determination table, the fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 65000 ms (step S1121), and the special figure prefetching process is terminated.

  The main control unit 300 transmits to the first sub-control unit 400 a command including information indicating that the special figure 1 holding number has increased by one. The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command executes a first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. In the first sub-control unit 400, the pre-reading notice execution flag is in an off state (No in Step S1201), the variation time is 65000 ms and a predetermined variation time (Yes in Step S1203), and the current control state is The normal figure is in low probability and not in electric support (No in Step S1205), the winning is Special Figure 1 (Yes in Step S1217), the control state is in the special figure low probability and the high probability lottery state. There is no (No in step S1219), and in the hold change lottery by the hold change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. 16, “hold C (win)” is won (Yes in steps S1209 and S1211), and the first hold. Therefore, the pre-reading notice execution count is set to “1” (step S1213), the pre-reading notice execution flag is turned on (step S1215), 1 A hold command for displaying a hold display image in the hold display area 208d1 according to the display form of the hold display of “Sabohani” is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control at the time of winning the starting information The pre-reading notice execution process is terminated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 28 (h), in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, the hold display image a1 in the hold display mode of “Sabohani” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (i), “decoration 7-decoration 1-decoration 1” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display is started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. The main control unit 300, after having made a falling lottery as necessary, acquires a set of special figure 1 random number values stored first in the special figure 1 random value storage area and starts the special figure variable game to be started next Is executed, the stored special figure 1 random number set is erased, and the special figure 1 holding number is subtracted by one. In addition, when erasing the data of the first special figure 1 random value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area, the main controller 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 1 prefetch in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage part. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Since the special figure low probability state is present at this time, the falling lottery is not executed, the determination result is a big hit (for example, the stop symbol is “special figure A”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 variable game is 65000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received a command including information such as a result of the determination of the success / failure from the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit advance notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, and the pre-read notice is being executed. The flag is on (Yes in step S1301), the electric support is not being performed (No in step S1303), the special figure 1 variable game is a big hit (Yes in step S1401), and the big hit symbol of the fluctuation is “special” FIG. A ”is not“ Special Figure D ”to“ Special Figure F ”(No in Step S1403), the confidential mode flag is not on (No in Step S1413), and the fluctuation is Special Figure 1 ( In step S1315, “0” is set by subtracting 1 from the value of the prefetching notice execution count (step S1307), and the prefetching notice execution count is 0 (Yes in step S1309). The pre-reading notice execution flag is set to the off state (step S1311), the normal notice lottery process is executed and “notice B” is won (step S1327), and the first sub-control at the start of the special figure variable game is started. The part notice execution process ends.

  When the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 28 (j), the decorative symbols are displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the bold arrows pointing downward in the drawing. The special figure 1 variable game of the effect of moving (rotating) from top to bottom is started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is reduced by 1, the holding display image a1 is deleted as shown in FIG.

  In order to give a notice of the success / failure determination result of the special figure 1 variable game being executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the symbol variation display in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, Normal notice notification is started. As shown in FIG. 28 (k), the symbol variation display is continued in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and the symbol “Osama” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 28 (l), “decoration 7” is displayed in the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and “medium” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b. The symbol “REACH” is displayed, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 28 (m), the middle symbol display area 208b has a symbol “HIMEKI NO SEIKI” instead of “REACH”. Displayed to notify that the “reach B” effect is being executed. As shown in FIG. 28 (n), after a lapse of a predetermined time after the “Princess Sister” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b (for example, after a lapse of 65,000 ms after the symbol variation display is started), “Decoration 7” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b, and as a result, “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is notified that the game is a big hit.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed after “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, the main control unit 300 starts a big hit game and receives a winning effect command. Is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. As shown in FIG. 28 (o), the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command controls the decorative symbol display device 208 so as to display the character image “big hit” in the effect display area 208d. The effect related to the big hit is executed.

  For example, when the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state when the concealment mode ends, there is a possibility that even if the special figure 2 variable game interrupts, it falls into the special figure low probability state. There is no. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment can select the advance notice by “hold C (actual)” that suggests winning by referring to the hold change notice lottery table 1 in the hold change lottery. ing.

  Next, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to Example 4 of the present embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining a special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 29 shows a special-predictive look-ahead notice notification mode when the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is a special-probability high-probability ordinary-low-probability state at the time when the special-figure variable game shown in FIG. An example is shown. When the special figure variation game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is shown in time series, FIG. 28 (a) to FIG. 28 (g), FIG. 29 (a) to FIG. 29 (c) and FIG. 28 (k) to FIG. It becomes FIG. 29 (o). Hereinafter, differences from the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the third embodiment will be briefly described.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (a), the decorative symbols move from top to bottom as shown by the downward-pointing thick arrows in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 (rotate). During the execution of the special figure 1 variable game of the effect, one game ball wins the special figure 1 starting port 230, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching process shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived special figure 1 start information. For example, for the derived special figure 1 start information derived from the main control unit 300, the current control state is a normal low-probability state and is not in electric support (No in step S1000), and is a special figure 1 prize ( Yes in step S1101), the current control state is a special figure high probability state (Yes in step S1103), the winning lottery is not won (No in step S1105), and the high probability for success / failure determination shown in FIG. Pre-determining with reference to the table (step S1109), the pre-determination result is a big hit (Yes in step S1111), and referring to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. It is determined (step S1113), and the fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 65000 ms with reference to the special figure 1 fluctuation display time determination table shown in FIG. 11 (step S1121). The process is terminated.

  In addition, the main control unit 300 transmits a command including information indicating that the number of special figure 1 holds has increased by one to the first sub control unit 400. The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command executes a first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. In the first sub-control unit 400, the pre-reading notice execution flag is in an off state (No in Step S1201), the variation time is 65000 ms and a predetermined variation time (Yes in Step S1203), and the current control state is The normal figure is in low probability and not in electric support (No in step S1205), the winning is special figure 1 (Yes in step S1217), and the control state is in special figure high probability (Yes in step S1219). In the hold change lottery according to the hold change notice lottery table 2 shown in FIG. 17, “hold A” is won (Yes in steps S1209 and S1211), and the number of pre-read notice notices is set to “1” because it is the first hold. Is set (step S1213), the pre-reading notice execution flag is turned on (step S1215), and the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1 A hold command for displaying a hold display image in the display mode of the hold display of “vice merchant Echigoya” is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning Exit. As a result, as shown in FIG. 29 (a), in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, the hold display image a1 in the hold display mode of “bad merchant Echigoya” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 29B, “decoration 7-decoration 1-decoration 1” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 1 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect.

  Next, processing similar to that executed prior to the start of the special figure 1 variable game shown in FIG. 28 (j) of the third embodiment is executed, and as shown in FIG. 29 (c), As shown by the downward-facing thick arrows in the left, middle, and right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, the special symbol 1 variable game of the effect that the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from top to bottom as shown in FIG. Be started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 1 holding number is decreased by 1, the holding display image a1 is deleted as shown in FIG. 29 (c). Thereafter, in the present embodiment, the special figure 1 variable game similar to that shown in FIGS. 28 (k) to 28 (o) in the third embodiment is executed.

  For example, when the control state of the pachinko machine 100 is in the special figure high probability normal figure low probability state when the concealment mode ends, there is a possibility that the special figure 2 variable game interruption may fall into the special figure low probability state. There is. For this reason, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment can regulate the advance notice in advance by “hold C (correct)” that suggests winning by referring to the hold change notice lottery table 2 in the hold change lottery. It is like that.

  Next, the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to Example 5 of the present embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining a special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, an example of a special figure pre-reading notice after 100 special figure variable games executed during the electric support after the end of the big hit game will be described. FIG. 30 (a) to FIG. 30 (j), or FIG. 30 (a) to FIG. 30 (i) and FIG. 30 (k) show the special-figure variable game on the pachinko machine 100 according to this embodiment in this order. Shown in series.

  In FIG. 30A, “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the ornament symbol display device 208. It shows a state in which it has been notified that it has won.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed after “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, the main control unit 300 starts a big hit game and receives a winning effect command. Is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. As shown in FIG. 30 (b), the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command controls the decorative symbol display device 208 to display the character image “big hit” in the effect display area 208d. The effect related to the big hit is executed.

  Thereafter, the jackpot game is continued, and when the 15-round jackpot game is finished, the main control unit 300 finishes the jackpot game, ends the jackpot game, and the value of the special figure probability variation flag (for example, the special figure probability change state). And a command including information such as a value of the time reduction flag (for example, a value “1” indicating the electric support state).

  As shown in FIG. 30C, when the first sub-control unit 400 receives the command, the first sub-control unit 400 controls the decorative design display device 208 so as to display the character image “End of jackpot” in the effect display area 208d. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the player that the big hit game is over.

  As shown in FIG. 30D, the first sub-control unit 400 redisplays “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. In addition, three game balls win the special figure 2 starting port 232 during the jackpot game, and the following processing is executed during the jackpot game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the three derived special figure 2 start information. The main control unit 300, for example, for each of these three special figure 2 start information, the current control state is in the electric support (Yes in step S1000), the special figure 2 winning (Yes in step S1101), The current control state is a special figure high probability state (Yes in step S1003). For example, the falling lottery is not won (No in step S1005), and the success / failure determination high probability table shown in FIG. The result determined in advance is a deviation (No in step S1011, No in step S1015). For example, “special drawing I” is determined with reference to the special figure determination table shown in FIG. 10C (step S1019). 12 is determined with reference to the special figure 2 variable display time determination table shown in FIG. 12 (step S1021), and the special figure prefetching process is terminated. .

  The main control unit 300 transmits a command including information indicating that the special figure 2 hold count has increased by three to the first sub control unit 400. The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command executes the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. 20 for each reserved special figure 2 variable game. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 has the pre-reading notice execution flag in the off state (No in step S1201) for each of the special figure 2 variable games related to the three holdings, the change time is 8000 ms, and a predetermined time. It is determined that the time is not a change time (No in step S1203), and the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2 provided in the effect display area 208d of the decorative symbol display device 208 is filled with a predetermined color as a default display. A hold command for displaying a hold display image according to the display mode is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice execution process at the time of starting information winning is ended. As a result, as shown in FIG. 30 (d), in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2, hold display images b1, b2, and b3 in a circular hold display mode filled in a predetermined color are displayed.

  In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the first special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 obtains a pair of special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the stored special figure 2 random value set is erased and the remaining special figure 2 random value set data is processed so that the data holding rank is incremented by one. To do. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  Since the previous special figure 1 variable game is a 15R special big hit with the jackpot symbol of “Special Figure A”, the control state has shifted to the special figure high probability normal figure high probability state after the big hit game ends. For this reason, prior to the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 30 (e), the main control unit 300 executes the falling lottery before the determination of success or failure. In this example, for example, referring to the falling lottery table shown in FIG. 10 (d), the falling lottery is wrong, and the result of the determination is wrong (for example, the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the special figure 2 changes. The variation time of the game is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including information such as the result of the determination of success / failure transmitted from the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 2 variable game is out of play and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, no in step S1417), and the confidential mode flag is on. If it is not in the state (No in step S1419), it will be determined that the lottery of the normal notice will not be won and the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is successful will not be notified (step S1327). 1 The sub-control unit notice execution process is terminated.

  When the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 30 (e), a decorative symbol is displayed in each of the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by a bold arrow pointing downward in the drawing. The special figure 2 variable game of the effect of moving (rotating) from top to bottom is started. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 2 holding number is reduced by 1, as shown in FIG. 30 (e), the display of the holding display images b1 and b2 is maintained. Then, the hold display image b3 is deleted.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (f), “decoration 4-decoration 3-decoration 3” is displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 8000 ms) has elapsed since the symbol variation display was started in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and it is notified that the special figure 2 variable game is out of play. In this example, since the lottery for the advance notice is not executed, the symbol change display ends without executing the notice notification effect. In addition, since there is no change in the number of special figure 2 variable games held within the predetermined time, the display of the hold display images b1 and b2 in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2 is maintained.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the second special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 obtains a pair of special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the stored special figure 2 random value set is erased and the remaining special figure 2 random value set data is processed so that the data holding rank is incremented by one. To do. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  Since the falling lottery executed prior to the start of the previous special figure 2 variable game was unfair, the control state is maintained as the special figure high probability normal figure high probability state. For this reason, prior to the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. 30 (g), the main control unit 300 executes the falling lottery before the determination of success or failure. In this example, for example, the falling lottery table is won with reference to the falling lottery table shown in FIG. 10D, and the control state falls to the special figure low probability state. For this reason, the success / failure determination is executed with reference to the failure determination low probability table shown in FIG. 10 (b). The variation time of the game is 8000 ms.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including information such as the result of the determination of success / failure transmitted from the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 2 variable game is out of play and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, no in step S1417), and the confidential mode flag is on. If it is not in the state (No in step S1419), it will be determined that the lottery of the normal notice will not be won and the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is successful will not be notified (step S1327). 1 The sub-control unit notice execution process is terminated.

  After a lapse of a predetermined time after the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 30 (g), a downward-pointing thick arrow in each of the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 is shown. As shown in Fig. 1, the special figure 1 variable game of the effect that the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from top to bottom is started. In addition, since the first sub-control unit 400 has received a command including information in which the special figure 2 holding number is reduced by 1, as shown in FIG. 30 (g), the holding display image b1 remains displayed. The hold display image b2 is deleted.

  Although illustration is omitted, the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c have a predetermined time in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. The symbol is stopped and displayed to notify that the special figure 2 variable game is out of play.

  Thereafter, 98 special figure variable games are executed, and as shown in FIG. 30 (h), the 100th special figure variable game counted from the special figure 2 variable game shown in FIG. In the middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, “decoration 4—decoration 3—decoration 6” is stopped and displayed, and it is notified that the special figure variable game is out of play. Also, in the special figure 2 hold display area 208d2, a hold display image b1 in the default display mode is displayed, and it is notified that one special figure 2 variable game is held.

  Based on the completion of 100 special figure variation games, the control state of the pachinko machine 100 shifts to a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state.

  Next, for example, the following processing is executed prior to the start of the special figure 2 variable game corresponding to the hold display image b1 shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 300 executes a falling lottery as necessary. Next, the main control unit 300 obtains a pair of special figure 2 random value stored first in the special figure 2 random value storage area and executes a determination of whether or not the special figure variable game is started next. At the same time, the stored special figure 2 random number set is deleted, and the special figure 2 holding number is subtracted by one. Further, when the main control unit 300 erases the data of the first special figure 2 random value set in the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control part 300 simultaneously reads the first special figure 2 prefetch in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. The information of the result is erased, and 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 prefetch number stored in the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Further, in this process, the main control unit 300 obtains a special figure timer number determination random value, determines a special figure timer number as a fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game, and determines whether or not the result is a success / failure determination result and the special figure timer number. Are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  The current control state has shifted to a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state. For this reason, the main control unit 300 does not execute the falling lottery, but performs the determination of the success / failure (for example, the result of determination of the success / failure is lost and the stop symbol is “Special Figure I”), and the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game is 8000 ms Is determined.

  In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including information such as the result of the determination of success / failure transmitted from the main control unit 300 executes the first sub-control unit notice process at the start of the special figure variable game, The advance notice flag is off (No in step S1301), the special figure 2 variable game is out of play and is neither big hit nor small hit (No in step S1401, no in step S1417), and the confidential mode flag is on. If it is not in the state (No in step S1419), it will be determined that the lottery of the normal notice will not be won and the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is successful will not be notified (step S1327). 1 The sub-control unit notice execution process is terminated.

  After a lapse of a predetermined time after the above processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 30 (i), a downward-pointing thick arrow is displayed in each of the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208. As shown in Fig. 1, the special figure 1 variable game of the effect that the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from top to bottom is started.

  Further, during this special figure 1 variable game, one game ball is won at the special figure 1 starting port 230, and the following processing is executed during the execution of the special figure 1 variable game. For example, the main control unit 300 executes the special figure prefetching process shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the derived special figure 1 start information. The main control unit 300 has a current control state that is normally low in probability and is not in electric support (No in step S1000), has a special figure 1 prize (Yes in step S1101), and the current control state is The special figure is low in probability and not in the special figure high probability (No in step S1103), and is determined in advance by referring to the failure determination low probability table shown in FIG. 10B (step S1107). Is a big hit (Yes in step S1111), for example, “special drawing A” is determined with reference to the special chart determination table shown in FIG. 10C (step S1113), and the special chart 1 fluctuation display shown in FIG. The variation time is determined to be, for example, 65000 ms with reference to the time determination table (step S1121), and the special figure prefetch process is terminated.

  The first sub-control unit 400 that has received the command including the information on the prior determination results executes the first sub-control unit pre-reading advance notice execution process at the time of starting information winning shown in FIG. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 indicates that the pre-reading notice execution flag is off (No in step S1201), the variation time is 65000 ms, which is a predetermined variation time (Yes in step S1203), and the current control The state is not in power support (No in Step S1205), the winning is Special Figure 1 (Yes in Step S1217), the control state is the special figure low probability state and not the high probability lottery state (No in Step S1219). ), The change change lottery result by the hold change notice lottery table 1 shown in FIG. 16 is won “hold C (win)” (Yes in step S1209 and step S1211), and the number of pre-read notice notices is executed because it is the first hold. Is set to “1” (step S1213), the pre-reading notice execution flag is turned on (step S1215), and the special figure 1 hold table is set. A hold command for displaying the hold display image in the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani” in the area 208d1 is output to the decorative symbol display device 208 (step S1223), and the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice is executed at the time of starting information winning. End the process. As a result, as shown in FIG. 30 (j), in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1, the hold display image a1 in the hold display mode of “Sabohani” is displayed.

  Although illustration is omitted, the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c have a predetermined time in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. The symbol is stopped and displayed to notify that the special figure 2 variable game is out of play.

  In the example shown in FIG. 30 (j), the special drawing look-ahead notice is issued because the falling state of the pachinko machine 100 is won during the special drawing variation game of 100 times and the control state of the pachinko machine 100 falls to the special drawing low probability state. “Sabohani” indicating the certainty may be displayed as an aspect. On the other hand, if the falling lottery is not won during 100 special figure variation games, the control state of the pachinko machine 100 shifts to a special figure high probability normal figure low probability state. Furthermore, as for the control state, if the winning lottery executed at the start of the special figure variable game shown in FIG. 30 (i) is not won, the special figure high probability normal figure low probability state is maintained. For this reason, the display mode of “savohani” indicating the certainty as the special figure pre-reading notice notification mode is restricted, and even if the holding change notice lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 30 (k), the special figure 1 holding display area For example, “Yoshimune” other than “Sabohani” is displayed in 208d1.

  Next, a pachinko machine 100 according to a modification of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31 (a) shows an example of a special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the first modification. As shown in FIG. 31 (a), in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present modification, even if the control mode is in the special figure low probability state even in the concealment mode, “hold C (correct)” The hold display image a1 in the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani” in “” can be displayed in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1. During the concealment mode, it can be either a special figure high probability state or a special figure low probability state. In the present embodiment, the hold display image a1 in the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani” is restricted from being displayed during the special figure high probability, but is restricted from being displayed during the special figure low probability. Not. For this reason, even in the concealment mode, if the special figure has a low probability state, there is no problem even if the hold display image a1 in the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani” is displayed in the special figure 1 hold display area 208d1. . In addition, if the “Sabohani” hold display is never displayed during the concealment mode, the player will not be able to expect a specific advance notice of confirmation during the concealment mode, which may reduce the interest of the concealment mode. There is. In this modified example, since the specific advance notice of confirmation of hitting can be executed even in the secret mode, it may be possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the secret mode.

  FIG. 31 (b) shows an example of the special figure variable game in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second modification of the present embodiment. The left side of FIG. 31B illustrates a state where “decoration 4—decoration 1—decoration 6” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, and the concealment mode is terminated. The middle right side illustrates a state in which the first special figure 1 variable game (the special figure 1 variable game corresponding to the hold display image a1 on the left side in the figure) after the concealment mode is executed. Also, the upper right side of the figure illustrates a state in which the notification mode of the prior notice notification and the specific advance notice notification that was executed during the concealment mode is maintained, and the lower part is executed during the concealment mode. The state in which the notification mode of the previous advance notice and the specific advance notice that has been maintained is not illustrated. The pachinko machine 100 according to this modified example continues the advance notice and the like after the end of the concealment mode even if the end of the concealment mode arrives when the advance notice or the specific advance notice is performed during the concealment mode. It is good to be able to cancel. For example, in the example indicated by the arrow from the left side to the upper right side in the drawing of FIG. 31B, the pachinko machine 100 displays the hold display of the specific advance notice notification mode (“Savohani”) that was being executed in the secret mode. Even after the concealment mode ends, the hold display image a2) according to the mode is continuously displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 in the specific advance notice notification mode (the hold display image a1 according to the display mode of the hold display of “Sabohani”). On the other hand, in the example indicated by the arrow from the left side to the lower right side in FIG. 31B, the pachinko machine 100 displays the specific advance notice notification mode (“savohani” on hold display) that has been executed during the concealment mode. After the concealment mode ends, the hold display image a2) according to the display mode is changed to the default display mode (hold display image a1 according to the display mode of the circular hold display), and the specific advance notice is discontinued and displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208. ing.

  FIG.31 (c) has shown an example of the special figure variable game with the pachinko machine 100 by the modification 3 of this Embodiment. The left side of FIG. 31C illustrates a state in which “decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6” is stopped and displayed in the left middle right symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c, and the concealment mode is terminated. The middle right side illustrates a state in which the first special figure 1 variable game (the special figure 1 variable game corresponding to the hold display image a1 on the left side in the figure) after the concealment mode is executed. As shown in FIG. 31 (c), the pachinko machine 100 according to the present modified example is notified in advance notice (for example, notice by “hold A” or “hold B”) or specific advance notice that has been executed during the concealment mode. The display mode of (for example, notification by “holding C (accurate)”) can be changed after the confidential mode ends. In this example, the pachinko machine 100 re-executes the special figure pre-reading notice of the special figure variable game that has been held after the end of the concealment mode, and the advance notice using the hold display of “Yoshimune” (the hold display on the left side in the figure). The notification by the image a2) is changed to the specific advance notice (the notification by the hold display image a1 on the right side in the figure) using the hold display of “Sabohani”.

Next, the characteristic configuration of the pachinko machine 100 according to the embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 31 again.
(1) The pachinko machine 100 according to the embodiment
Starting information derived from the fact that the game ball has entered the first starting area (for example, special figure 1 starting port 230) (for example, a combination of a random number value for hit determination and a random value for determining special figure for hit time) First starting information storage means (for example, the special figure 1 random value storage area provided in the RAM 308) capable of storing up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4),
Starting information derived from the fact that the game ball has entered the second starting area (for example, the special figure 2 starting port 232) (for example, a combination of a random number value for hit determination and a random number value for determining a special figure for hitting time) Second starting information storage means (for example, special figure 2 random value storage area provided in the RAM 308) capable of storing up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4),
When the start information is stored in both the first start information storage means and the second start information storage means, the start information is acquired from the second start information storage means, When the start information is stored in one of the first start information storage means and the second start information storage means, the start information is obtained from the start information storage means in which the start information is stored. Acquisition / determination means (for example, special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) and special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231)), which acquires and determines whether or not it is correct based on the acquired starting information;
A special gaming state in which a special gaming state (for example, a big hit game or a small hit game) that is advantageous to the player is given based on the result of the judgment as to whether or not the player is successful. Grant means (for example, special figure 2 state update process (step S225) and special figure 1 state update process (step S227));
Probability changing means capable of changing the probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result from the normal probability (for example, the special figure low probability) to the high probability (for example, the special figure high probability) after the special gaming state ends ( For example, special figure 2 state update process (step S225) and special figure 1 state update process (step S227)),
Symbol display means for performing symbol variation display from the start of symbol variation until the symbol mode corresponding to the result of the determination is stopped and displayed (for example, special symbol 1 and special symbol 2 display devices 212 and 214 and decorative symbol display) Device 208);
Falling lottery means (for example, special figure 2 related lottery processing (step S229)) that performs a fall determination for dropping the probability of deriving the specific success / failure result from the high probability to the normal probability every time the symbol variation display is executed. And special figure 1 related lottery processing (step S231)),
Prior to performing the fall determination, a fall pre-determination means (for example, pre-determining whether or not the fall lottery means falls from the high probability to the normal probability as a probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result) , Steps S1005 and S1105) of the special figure prefetching process,
Whether or not the appropriateness determination means derives the specific determination result before the determination is made based on the predetermined start information stored in the first start information storage means. Pre-determining means for pre-determining (for example, special figure prefetching process (step S224)),
Based on the result of the prior determination, an advance notice for advance notice (for example, “hold A” or “hold B”) is used to give a prior notice as to whether or not the correct / incorrect determination means derives the specific correct / incorrect determination result. Prior notice means (for example, the first sub-control part pre-reading notice execution process at the start information winning and the first sub-control part notice execution process at the start of fluctuation) are started before the success / failure judgment means performs the judgment. And decorative pattern display device 208),
A predetermined first entry rate control state (for example, the blade member 232a is closed) and a second entry rate control state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start-up area than the first entry rate control state. An entry rate changing means for changing the ease of entry of a game ball into the second starting area from one to the other (eg, the blade member 232a is in an open state) Lottery processing and blade member 232a),
A game machine equipped with
The pre-determination means makes a pre-judgment of the probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result based on the pre-determination result of the fall pre-determination means with the high probability or the normal probability (for example, special figure Prefetch processing steps S1007, S1009, S1107 and S1109),
The prior notice notification includes a specific prior notice information that can appear only when deriving the specific determination result (for example, a prior notice information by “hold C (accurate)”),
When the probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result is the high probability and the first approach rate control state, the appearance of the specific advance notice is restricted (for example, the first sub-control unit pre-reading notice is executed when the start information is awarded) No in step S1205 of processing → Yes in step S1217 → Yes in step S1219 → Step S1221 and the pending change notice lottery table 2)
It is characterized by that.

  The pachinko machine 100 having this configuration is configured to regulate a specific advance notice (premier advance notice) that suggests a certainty, for example, when the control state is a special figure high probability state and non-electric support is provided. Thereby, according to the pachinko machine 100 provided with the said structure, the contradiction of a notice may be regulated in the game nature of a falling lottery. Specifically, the special figure 2 start is made after a special notice appears for the special figure 1 start information based on the pre-determination of the special figure high probability and the first approach rate control state (for example, during the electric support). If the information is interrupted and the winning lottery based on the special figure 2 starting information is won, the special figure 1 starting information was based on the lottery with a high probability at the time of prior judgment, but it is low when the actual fluctuation starts. It has changed to a draw in the probability state. In this case, since the credibility determination itself is not credible, there may be a case where a contradiction that may occur peculiar to the falling lottery can be avoided by restricting the advance notice of winning.

(2) The pachinko machine 100,
The advance notice means is based on determining that the result of the advance determination based on the predetermined start information stored in the first start information storage means derives the specific success / failure determination result, The second advancement information is started before starting the advance advance notice (eg, advance hold notice by “hold A” or “hold B”) that is not the specific advance notice, and before the determination of the validity based on the predetermined start information. This is a case where the symbol change display based on the predetermined start information changes so as not to derive the specific success / failure determination result by the fall determination performed at the time of execution of the symbol change display based on the start information stored in the storage means. However, the advance notice notification is continued until the success / failure determination based on the predetermined start information (for example, advance notice using the “Yoshimune” hold display shown in FIGS. 26D to 26K). And wherein the door.

  The pachinko machine 100 having the above configuration is when the jackpot disappears due to the interruption of the special figure 2 variable game while performing the advance notice that is not premier when the big figure is in the special figure high probability low figure probability state. The advance notice is also continued. According to the pachinko machine 100 having the above-described configuration, even if the result of determining whether or not the symbol variation display for which the advance notice has been given changes to a falling lottery, the advance notice is changed. In some cases, it is possible to prevent the player from realizing that the lottery state has fallen by continuing the prior notice notification until the start / failure determination (start of symbol variation) of the start information that is the target of the game.

(3) The pachinko machine 100,
The specific success / failure determination result is the first specific success / failure determination result (for example, the probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result after the special gaming state is the high probability and the first entry rate control state) , After the game is played, the control state becomes a special figure high probability ordinary figure low probability ("Special Figure D" to "Special Figure F"), and after the special gaming state, the specific success / failure determination result is derived A second specific success / failure determination result in which the probability is the normal probability and the first entry rate control state (for example, a design in which the control state becomes a special figure low probability normal figure low probability after winning game, Figure G "and" Special Figure H ")
After the special gaming state based on the second specific success / failure determination result, the specific prior notice notification is allowed to appear.

  According to the pachinko machine 100 having such a configuration, even in the first approach rate control state, when the lottery probability for the determination of success / failure is a normal probability, there is no contradiction due to the falling lottery. A notice can appear. Therefore, it is possible to make a hit confirmation notice appear regardless of the entry state, so that the interest of the game is not impaired. In addition, since the pachinko machine 100 according to the above embodiment does not have a pattern in which the control state shifts to the special figure low probability state after the big hit game ends, only the small hit is exemplified as the second specific success / failure determination result. However, the pachinko machine 100 may have a design in which the control state shifts to the special figure low probability state after the big hit game as an example of the second specific success / failure determination result.

(4) The pachinko machine 100,
After the special gaming state based on the first specific success / failure determination result and the second specific success / failure determination result, it is concealed whether the probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result is the high probability or the normal probability (For example, steps S1401 to S1411 and step S1417 of the secret mode update process).

  According to the pachinko machine 100 having the above-described configuration, there may be a case where a game can be played while expecting the high-probability lottery state and the appearance of a prior notice of winning confirmation during the secret mode period. In some cases, the advance notice for determining the hit may be a hit regardless of the interruption in the special figure 2 start information. In the present embodiment, when a prior notice of confirmation of hit appears during the concealment mode, it is determined that the determination is a normal probability (low special figure probability). However, since there is no change in whether or not a special figure pre-reading notice that will be certain in appearance will appear, the player can not recognize whether it is a special figure high probability state or a special figure low probability state, In some cases, it is possible to show the player a prior notice of confirmation of winning without changing from other game states.

(5) The pachinko machine 100,
The success / failure determination means has a high probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result and the game ball has already entered the second start area in the first entry rate control state, the first Based on the result of the fall determination for the start information based on the winning in the second start area, regardless of the result of the previous determination made for the start information stored in the one start information storage means. And determining whether or not the starting information stored in the first starting information storage means is correct.

  According to the pachinko machine 100 having such a configuration, there is a possibility that the possibility of falling due to the priority fluctuation of Fig. 2 can be clarified, and inconsistencies that may occur when a preliminary determination is made in the falling lottery may be regulated. is there.

  The pachinko machine 100 is a variable time determining means (for example, special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229), special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231), special figure 1 and special variable, and the like. FIG. 2 includes a variable display time determination table, and the variable time determination means does not derive a specific determination result (for example, hit) based on the special map high probability and the normal probability (for example, special graph low probability) ( In other words, the variation time in the case of deriving the deviation) can be determined almost equally. According to the pachinko machine 100 having the above configuration, whether the probability of deriving a specific success / failure determination result is a high probability or a normal probability based on the variation time (selection rate such as loss reach performed on the decorative symbol display means) It is possible to prevent the player from being enlightened, and there are cases where the player can always play a game while expecting a high probability.

  The pachinko machine 100 determines the probability that the variation time determination means determines the variation display time based on the result of the success / failure determination based on the result of the fall / fall determination, and derives a specific result determination result based on the variation display time. It is characterized by making recognition difficult. In this embodiment, the falling lottery result is not directly involved in determining the variation time. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, since the variation time is determined based on the stop symbol, the presence / absence of electric support and the number of special figure variation games held, the falling lottery result directly determines the variation time. Not involved in. However, whether or not to win a win is influenced by whether or not a special figure high probability state, so that the variation time may be indirectly influenced by the falling lottery result. However, because the falling lottery only affects the variation time indirectly, the player cannot recognize based on the variation time whether the current control state is a high probability state or whether the winning lottery has been won. It is like that.

  The pachinko machine 100 changes the display mode of the special figure variable game hold (for example, from the default display to the advance notice using “hold A”, “hold B”, or “hold C (definite)”) The advance notice is thus executed.

  The pachinko machine 100 has a plurality of types of advance notice notifications (specific advance notice notices) (so that the reliability is different), and changes the advance notice information step by step even when it changes from the hit. It may be like this. Even if the preliminary advance notice of hitting confirmation (for example, the advance notice by holding the display of “Sabohani”) is not executed, it may be possible to give expectation and variation to the advance notice.

  The pachinko machine 100 maintains the control state in a high probability state even if the special rotation game of 30 rotations is digested after the start of the concealment mode and the concealment mode is terminated, as long as the falling lottery is not won. Yes. In addition, the pachinko machine 100 maintains a high probability state even if the special support variable game ends 100 times in the electric support state after the big hit game ends and the electric support state ends, as long as the falling lottery is not won. It is like that.

The present invention described above can be summarized as follows.

The game table, wherein the probability of deriving the specific success / failure determination result is the high probability and the appearance of the specific advance notice is restricted when the first approach rate control state is established.

A game table according to the present invention,
The advance notice means is based on determining that the result of the advance determination based on the predetermined start information stored in the first start information storage means derives the specific success / failure determination result, The preliminary advance notice that is not the specific advance notice is started, and is performed at the time of execution of the symbol variation display based on the start information stored in the second start information storage means before the determination of whether or not based on the predetermined start information. Even if the symbol variation display based on the predetermined start information is changed so as not to derive the specific determination result, the advance notice is made until the determination is made based on the predetermined start information. A game table characterized by continuing notification.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to allow specific advance notice (for example, advance notice by holding a display of “Sabohani”) to appear only in the second approach rate control state (for example, during electric support). It may be.

  The pachinko machine 100 may be configured to include all the jackpot determination values with a high special figure probability with a low special figure probability (normal probability). In the above-described embodiment, the prior notice notification that is appropriate in the lottery state with the special figure high probability and the first approach rate control state is restricted, but the jackpot judgment value with the special figure high probability is common to the normal probability. If the big hit random number is confirmed in advance, an accurate advance notice may appear. In this case, even if it falls in the special figure 2 variable game lottery that has been interrupted, the jackpot random number determined in advance is a value that is a hit even in the normal probability, so it is possible to make a prior notice in advance. In addition, the pachinko machine 100 makes it possible to make an advance notice of warning in the case of a common jackpot random number during the latent probability change, while restricting the notice of advance notice in the case of a random number that is a big hit only when there is a high probability of special figure. It may be configured to.

  In the above embodiment, the notice table including the accurate advance notice is shared between the electric support, the non-electric support and the low probability, but may be a different table. For example, during non-electric support, accurate prior notice notification is restricted when the special figure has a high probability, so a random number may be distributed so that the accurate prior notice information is likely to appear when the special figure has a low probability. . By configuring in this way, it may be possible to make it more difficult to recognize that there is a gaming state in which accurate advance notice notification is restricted to the player.

  An object of the present invention is to prevent contradiction between the prior notice notification and the notice of the change and the result of the determination, and the pachinko machine 100 regulates the appearance of the specific advance notice notification that becomes a premier. . However, it is possible to take the form that the lottery probability of normal symbols is set to 0% during non-electric support so that there is no contradiction between both notices. When this configuration is applied to the pachinko machine 100 according to the above-described embodiment, during the non-electric support, the normal symbol lottery is not won, so the winning itself to the special figure 2 starting port 232 that can be won by opening the electric chow is regulated. Therefore, there is no contradiction between the pre-judgment and the success / failure judgment.

  In addition, as an example of a change in the configuration, a contradiction may occur due to the relationship between the information related to the normal symbol and the predetermined start information, such as the number of stored normal symbols, the fluctuation time, the winning state of the game ball or the like in the electric chew It may be determined whether or not there is a specific state, and the specific prior notice notification may appear.
