The effect control board 20 is provided in the first special symbol display device 55, the second special symbol display device 56, the normal symbol display device 54, the effect determination display device 72, the effect display device 52, and the pachinko machine 1. The lamp control board 81 that controls lighting of the decorated LED is electrically connected to a voice control board 82 that controls a voice output device (not shown) that outputs sound effects during the game.

[Contents stored when a hold occurs]
Next, the contents stored in the main control RAM 14 when a hold occurs will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents stored in the main control RAM 14. In the following explanation, the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that is displayed when the variation display of the special symbol is finished when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, and the lose symbol is a jackpot symbol. When the result is losing, it is a losing symbol displayed when the variation display of the special symbol is finished. The fixed symbol refers to both a big hit symbol and a lost symbol. Further, the effect jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol for the effect that is displayed when the effect display device 52 ends the variation display of the effect symbol when the result of the jackpot determination is a big hit. When the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, the effect display device 52 displays when the effect display device 52 finishes changing the effect symbol. Further, the finalized design symbol refers to both the production jackpot symbol and the production loss symbol.

  The first hold table 14 a and the second hold table 14 b are set in the main control RAM 14. The first hold table 14a stores data generated when the game ball wins the first start port 53, and the second hold table 14b stores data generated when the game ball wins the second start port 59. Is stored. In the figure, “holding rank” is the order in which the hold occurs (the order in which the hold data is stored). Further, the “determination result” is a result of determination of a big hit or a loss performed by the main control CPU 12 when a game ball wins a start opening.

  The “determined symbol” is a definite symbol determined by lottery by the main control CPU 12 when the game ball wins the starting opening. The “variation time” is the variation time determined by lottery by the main control CPU 12 when the game ball wins the starting opening. Although not shown, the first reserved table 14a stores a confirmed special symbol (a combination of LEDs to be lit) in the first special symbol display device 55 in association with each holding order, and the second reserved table 14b. Is stored with the confirmed special symbols (the combination of the LEDs to be lit) in association with the respective hold orders of the second special symbol display device 56.

  In the illustrated example, the determination result of “probable big hit”, the fixed symbol of “777”, and the fluctuation time of “60 seconds” are stored in the fourth holding order (*) of the first holding table 14a. Yes. In addition, since the first hold table 14a and the second hold table 14b store all the data from the hold ranks 1 to 4, respectively, the first hold number U1 and the second hold number U2 are set to the upper limit of 4, respectively. It has become.

  In the present embodiment, the main control RAM 14 corresponds to an example of a “holding means”, and switches (first start port switch 53a, second switch) before the symbol display on the effect display device 52 (symbol display device) ends. When a game ball is detected by the start port switch 59a), it functions to sequentially hold the jackpot determination result based on the numerical value acquired by the numerical value acquisition means as the hold data for each detection.

[Main game flow]
Next, the main game flow will be described with reference to the drawings.
(Start-up processing)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the start port process executed by the main control CPU 12. Here, the start port process when winning the first start port 53 will be described as a representative.
The main control CPU 12 determines whether or not the first start port switch 53a is turned on, that is, whether or not the game ball has won the first start port 53 (step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1). Here, if an affirmative determination is made (S1: Yes), the first holding number U1 of the first holding table 14a is referred to (S2), and it is determined whether the first holding number U1 is less than the upper limit of 4 (S3). ).

  If an affirmative determination is made (S3: Yes), the big hit lottery counter value counted by the big hit lottery counter at this time is acquired (S4). Here, the jackpot lottery counter is a counter that counts the jackpot lottery counter value as a reference for the main control CPU 12 to determine the jackpot, and counts a plurality of numerical values (for example, a total of 3491 numbers from 0 to 3490). This is a ring counter.

  In the present embodiment, the first start port switch 53a corresponds to an example of a “switch”, and detects that a game ball flowing down the game board 5 has passed through the first start port 53 (start port). Function. The second start port switch 59a corresponds to an example of a “switch”, and functions to detect that a game ball flowing down the game board 5 has passed through the second start port 59 (start port). Further, the main control board 10 that executes the processing of the big hit lottery counter and S4 corresponds to an example of “numerical value acquisition means”, and fluctuates a numerical value within a predetermined fluctuation range, and switches (first start port switch 53a, When the second start port switch 59a) detects the passing of the game ball, it functions to acquire any numerical value of the fluctuation range.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 12 refers to the big hit value and determines whether or not it is a normal big hit (S5). Here, the big hit value is constituted by a normal big hit value (for example, 3, 7, 77, 333 and 777) and a probability variation big hit value (for example, 1111 and 2222). That is, when the big hit lottery counter value acquired from the big hit lottery counter in S4 is the same as any of the normal big hit values, it is determined as the normal big hit. If it is determined that the normal big hit is made (S5: Yes), the normal big hit flag indicating the occurrence of the normal big hit is turned on (S6), and the normal big hit symbol is determined by lottery (S7).

  In the present embodiment, the main control board 10 corresponds to an example of “big hit determining means”, and functions to determine whether or not a big hit has occurred based on the numerical value acquired by the “numerical value acquiring means”. To do.

  The normal big hit symbol means a big hit symbol at the time of a normal big hit and an effect big hit symbol. If the main control CPU 12 determines that it is not a normal big hit (S5: No), it determines whether or not it is a probable big hit (S8). In other words, if the big hit lottery counter value acquired from the big hit lottery counter in S4 is the same as any of the probability variation big hit values, it is determined that the probability variation big hit. Here, when it is determined that the probability variation big hit (S8: Yes), the probability variation big hit flag indicating the occurrence of the probability variation big hit is turned on (S9), and the probability variation big hit symbol is determined by lottery (S10). The probabilistic jackpot symbol means a jackpot symbol and a staged jackpot symbol at the time of probability variation jackpot.

  The normal jackpot symbol and the probability variation jackpot symbol are determined using a jackpot symbol lottery counter. The big hit symbol lottery counter is a ring counter that counts a plurality of numerical values (for example, a total of ten numerical values from 0 to 9) corresponding to the number of types of effect big hit symbols. The main control ROM 13 stores a jackpot symbol table in which each counter value of the jackpot symbol lottery counter is associated with production jackpot symbols (for example, 10 types of jackpot symbols from 000 and 111 to 999). The control CPU 12 selects an effect jackpot symbol associated with the counter value acquired from the jackpot symbol lottery counter. In addition, each jackpot symbol is also associated with a jackpot symbol, and the jackpot symbol is determined together with the jackpot symbol.

  In addition, the probable effect jackpot symbol (for example, 111, 222, 333, 555, 666, 777, 999) and the normal effect jackpot symbol (for example, 000, 444, 888) are set in the effect jackpot symbol. If you select a normal performance jackpot symbol when the probability variation jackpot is determined, repeat the selection of the performance jackpot symbol until you select one of the certain probability variation jackpot symbols. When a symbol is selected, the selection of the effect jackpot symbol is repeated until one of the normal effect jackpot symbols is selected. For example, if the counter value acquired from the jackpot symbol lottery counter is 7 when the probability variation jackpot is determined, the probability variation jackpot symbol 777 and the probability variation jackpot symbol associated with this probability variation jackpot symbol Select.

  Further, when the main control CPU 12 determines that it is not the probability variation big hit (S8: No), it determines whether or not the normal big hit flag is on (S11), and if it is determined that it is not on ( (S11: No), a lost symbol is determined by lottery (S12). The lost symbol is determined using a lost symbol lottery counter. The lost symbol lottery counter is a ring counter that counts a plurality of numerical values (for example, a total of ten numerical values from 0 to 9) corresponding to the number of types of lost symbols. The main control ROM 13 stores a lost symbol table in which each counter value of the lost symbol lottery counter is associated with the lost symbols (for example, a total of 10 types of lost symbols from 0 to 9). Selects the lost symbol associated with the counter value acquired from the lost symbol lottery counter.

  The selection of the losing symbols is repeated for the number of losing symbols to be displayed on the effect display device 52. When the selected losing symbols are the same as the big hit symbols, the selection of the losing symbols is made until they are not the same as the big hit symbols. repeat. In the case of a loss, the first special symbol display device 55 and the second special symbol display device 56 turn off all the LEDs.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 12 determines the variation time of the special symbol and the effect symbol by lottery (S13). The variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol is determined using a variation time lottery counter. The variable time lottery counter is a ring counter that counts a plurality of numerical values corresponding to the number of types of variable times. The main control ROM 13 stores a variation time table in which each counter value of the variation time lottery counter is associated with the variation time. The main control CPU 12 associates the counter value obtained from the variation time lottery counter with the counter value. Select the change time that is specified.

  In the fluctuation time table, a long hit with a long fluctuation time and a loss with a relatively short fluctuation time are set. The big hit is a big hit for the big hit and the big hit is for a loss. Each variable time is selected from the variable time table. Subsequently, the main control CPU 12 adds 1 to the first hold number U1 (S14). In addition, the process with respect to the 2nd starting port 59 is performed using the 2nd reservation table 14b, and is the same flow as said S1-S14.

(Design processing)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the symbol processing executed by the main control CPU 12. The main control CPU 12 determines whether or not the variation time has expired (S20). If the determination is affirmative (S20: Yes), the main control CPU 12 refers to the first hold number U1 (S21). Subsequently, the main control CPU 12 determines whether or not the first hold number U1 is 1 or more (S22). If the determination is affirmative (S22: Yes), 1 is subtracted from the first hold number U1 (S23). The contents of change such as the determination result stored in the hold order 1 of the first hold table 14a, the confirmed effect symbol and the change time are transmitted as commands to the effect control board 20 (S27), and the transmitted change time is measured. The timer is started (S28). Note that the fluctuation content transmitted as a command includes data specifying that the data is stored in the first hold table 14a.

  When it is determined that the first hold number U1 is not 1 or more (S22: No), the second hold number U2 is referred to (S24), and it is determined whether the second hold number U2 is 1 or more (S25). ). Here, if an affirmative determination is made (S25: Yes), 1 is subtracted from the second hold number U2 (S26), the determination result stored in the hold order 1 of the second hold table 14b, the confirmed effect design, the variation time, etc. Is transmitted to the effect control board 20 as a command (S27), and a timer for measuring the transmitted variation time is started (S28). Note that the fluctuation content transmitted as a command includes data specifying that the data is stored in the second holding table 14b.

(Direction processing)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of main processing executed by the effect control CPU 22. After performing the initial setting, the effect control CPU 22 performs a process of receiving a command indicating the variation transmitted by the main control CPU 12 (S101), and then performs an effect process (S102). In this way, the effect control CPU 22 repeats data reception and effect processing.

  In the effect processing, as shown in FIG. 8, after receiving the variation content in S30, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is being played (S31). Here, if a negative determination is made (S31: No), a variation pattern of the special symbol and the effect symbol is selected (S32). Here, the variation pattern of the special symbol is a blinking pattern of the LED constituting the special symbol display device, and the variation pattern of the production symbol is a method of variation of the production symbol from the start to the end of the production symbol variation display. For example, the fluctuation speed.

  The variation pattern of the effect design includes a reach pattern and a normal variation pattern that is not a reach pattern. The reach pattern is a variation pattern that reaches a reach state while the production symbol is varied. Here, the reach means that the effect jackpot symbol is fixedly displayed in a display area other than one display area among the plurality of display areas in which the effect symbols are variably displayed, and the effect symbol is variably displayed in the remaining one display area. It is a state of being.

  The variation pattern lottery is performed based on the determination result and the variation time included in the received variation content. The effect control ROM 23 stores a variation pattern table in which a plurality of types of variation patterns (variation patterns of special symbols and variation patterns of performance symbols) are associated with each variation time, separately for big hits and lost games. The effect control CPU 22 refers to the variation pattern table corresponding to the received determination result, and selects the variation pattern corresponding to the variation time by lottery from the variation pattern table.

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 22 determines whether or not the special symbol and the effect symbol are variably displayed (S33), and if a negative determination is made (S33: No), the received variation content is stored in the first hold table 14a. The first special symbol display device 55 starts to display the variation of the special symbol based on the variation pattern determined in S32, and the received variation content is stored in the second holding table 14b. If it is data, the second special symbol display device 56 starts to display the variation of the special symbol based on the variation pattern determined in S32 (S34). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 22 causes the effect display device 52 to start effect display variation display based on the variation pattern determined in S32 (S35).

  Subsequently, a timer for measuring the variation time of the special symbol and the effect symbol is started (S36). Further, when it is determined that the special symbol and the effect symbol are variably displayed (S33: Yes), the effect control CPU 22 determines whether or not the timer started in S36 has expired (S37). When the determination is made (S37: Yes), the special symbol display is ended on the special symbol display device and the confirmed special symbol is displayed (S38), and the effect display device 52 is ended on the special symbol display and the confirmed effect symbol is displayed. It is displayed (S39).

  Subsequently, the effect determination display device 72 is operated to display the contents of the effect corresponding to the big hit determination result (S40). For example, the effect determination display device 72 displays the maximum number of rounds that can be executed in the jackpot game (for example, 14 rounds, 2 rounds) when the jackpot determination result is a jackpot. If it is determined in S31 that the game is a big hit game (S31: Yes), the production control CPU 22 executes the big hit game effect process (S41).

  In the present embodiment, for example, the effect display device 52 corresponds to an example of a “symbol display device”. Further, the main control board 10 and the effect control board 20 correspond to an example of “display control means”, and each time the passing of the game ball is detected by the switches (the first start port switch 53a and the second start port switch 59a). The effect display device 52 (symbol display device) is controlled such that the symbol is changed and the symbol corresponding to the determination result performed by the “big hit determination means” is displayed for each detection.

(Direction processing during big hit games)
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of the big hit game effect processing executed by the effect control CPU 22.
The effect control CPU 22 determines whether or not the big hit effect flag is on (S50), and if a negative determination is made (S50: No), the big hit effect flag is turned on (S51), and the value of R indicating round Is set to an initial value (R = 1) (S52). On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in S50 (S50: Yes), R is incremented (S53).

  After S52 or S53, an effect corresponding to the current round (the round at the time of execution of the process in S55) is started based on the value of R. This effect image is composed of a still image and a video for visually enjoying the player during the big hit game period. For example, when a big hit occurs, the production image is a video congratulating the occurrence of the big hit. After the start of the first round, the movie has a story.

  Furthermore, during this presentation, it is determined whether or not the current number of holds (that is, the number of pieces of hold data stored in the first hold table and the second hold table) is greater than 0 (that is, whether it is 1 or more). If the determination is affirmative (S55), in the hold data stored in the first hold table and the second hold table, there is hold data that has not yet been notified (that is, whether there is hold data that has not been notified yet). If the determination in S56 is affirmative, it is determined whether or not a notification process related to pending data has already been performed in the current round.In this embodiment, the notification process in S59 regarding reserved data is determined. Is performed once at each round, and if the process of S59 has already been performed in the current R round in which the determination process of S57 is performed, 7 proceeds to Yes. On the other hand, if the notification exists pending data undigested, and notification process regarding pending data in the current round has not been performed, the process proceeds to No in S57.

  When the process proceeds to No in S57, it is determined whether or not a specific game condition has been established (S58). As the “specific game condition”, it is determined whether or not the winning state at the special winning opening 57a (winning opening) satisfies a prescribed condition. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time condition is satisfied until the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 57a reaches a predetermined number in a predetermined round during the big hit game after the big hit determination is made. For example, if the “predetermined number” is “10”, the “predetermined time condition” is 10 seconds, and the “predetermined round” is the round immediately before the current round, the current round for which the determination process of S58 is performed In the last round, if the time from the opening of the big prize opening 57a to the number of winning game balls to the big prize opening 57a reaching 10 (predetermined number) is within 10 seconds, Since the “condition” is satisfied, the process proceeds to Yes in S58. In this case, the special winning opening 57a corresponds to an example of “target winning opening”.

  In addition, although the round immediately before the said round is illustrated as "predetermined round" here, the round before the said round etc. may be sufficient as "predetermined round", for example, a predetermined round (for example, , First round, etc.). Further, the predetermined number is not limited to “10”, and may be another number. The predetermined time condition is not limited to “10 seconds”, and may be shorter or longer. Or you may make it set the time interval as "predetermined time conditions" at random for every round.

  When the process proceeds to Yes in S58, that is, when the time required for the number of winning prizes 57a to reach the predetermined number in the previous round satisfies the predetermined time condition, the notification is not included in the pending data. The jackpot determination result for the pending data with the highest priority is notified (S59). There are various ways of setting the priority, but in this embodiment, the hold data in the second hold table has a higher priority than the hold data in the first hold table. In the hold data in the second hold table, the higher the hold rank (that is, the smaller the number of ranks), the higher the priority. Similarly, in the hold data in the first hold table, the higher the hold rank (that is, the smaller the number of ranks), the higher the priority rank. Therefore, when performing the notification process of S59, if there is pending data for which the big hit determination result is not reported in the pending data stored in the second pending table, the ranking of the pending data is the highest. The jackpot determination result for the upper reserved data is notified. Further, when performing the notification process of S59, if there is no pending data for which the big hit determination result is not reported in the pending data stored in the second pending table, the pending data stored in the first pending table The jackpot determination result for the hold data with the highest hold rank is notified.

  In S59, various methods can be considered as a method for informing the hit determination result of the target hold data. For example, if the hold data to be notified in S59 indicates a big hit, a predetermined value is determined. The symbol display part is changed to a display corresponding to the jackpot. Further, if the hold data that is the notification target in S59 indicates a loss, the predetermined symbol display portion is changed to a display corresponding to the loss. In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 11A, the first hold number display device 55a includes four hold lamps 155a to 155d, and the second hold number display device 56a includes four hold lamps 156a to 156d. It has a prepared structure. The hold lamps 155a to 155d correspond to the hold data of each rank in the first hold table, and when the hold data is stored in each rank of the first hold table, the hold lamps 155a to 155d. Each lights up. Similarly, each of the hold lamps 156a to 156d corresponds to the hold data of each rank in the second hold table, and when the hold data is stored in each rank of the second hold table, each of the hold lamps 156a to 156a is stored. Each of 156d lights up. In such a configuration, the jackpot determination result for the hold data to be notified is notified in the form of a hold lamp corresponding to the hold data.

  Specifically, when the hold data is stored in the first hold order (hold order 1 shown in FIG. 4) in the first hold table 14a, the top hold lamp 155a is turned on and the second hold order is displayed. When the hold data is stored in the hold order (holding order 2 shown in FIG. 4), the second holding lamp 155b from the top is turned on, and the third holding order (holding order 3 shown in FIG. 4). When the hold data is stored, the third hold lamp 155c from the top lights up, and when the hold data is stored in the fourth hold order (holding order 4 shown in FIG. 4), The lowermost holding lamp 155d is turned on. FIG. 11 is an example in the case where four hold data are stored in the first hold table 14a.

  When the hold data is stored in the first hold order (hold order 1 shown in FIG. 4) in the second hold table 14b, the top hold lamp 156a is turned on and the second hold order is stored. When the hold data is stored in (holding order 2 shown in FIG. 4), the second holding lamp 156b from the top is turned on, and the holding data is put in the third holding order (holding order 3 shown in FIG. 4). Is stored, the third hold lamp 156c from the top lights up, and when the hold data is stored in the fourth hold order (holding order 4 shown in FIG. 4), the bottom The holding lamp 156d is turned on. In addition, FIG. 11 is an example in the case where no hold data is stored in the second hold table 14b.

  In the case as shown in FIG. 11, when notification is made in S59, the jackpot determination result for the pending data with the highest priority among the pending data stored in the first pending table 14a. Will be notified. For example, when the processing of S59 is performed, if the jackpot determination result is not notified for any of the four pieces of hold data stored in the first hold table 14a, the first hold table 14a The determination result based on the hold data of the first rank (hold rank 1) is displayed by the first hold lamp 155a. Further, for example, when performing the process of S59, among the four hold data stored in the first hold table 14a, the big hit determination result has already been notified for the hold data with the hold ranks 1 to 3. When the big hit determination result is not notified only for the hold data with the hold rank 4, the big hit determination result for the hold data with the hold rank 4 is displayed by the fourth hold lamp 155d.

  There are various ways to display the jackpot determination result of the pending data. For example, when the jackpot judgment result of the pending data is lost, a mode of switching from blinking to normal lighting is conceivable. For example, in the hold state as shown in FIG. 11A (that is, when the hold data is not stored in the second hold table 14b and the four hold data are stored in the first hold table 14a). In S59, when the big hit determination result of the first hold data in the first hold table 14a is notified in S59, when the big hit determination result of the first hold data in the first hold table 14a indicates a loss, For example, the hold lamp 155a can be displayed in a first display color (for example, green) and blinked once, and then the display mode can be changed to normal lighting with the first display color as shown in FIG. 11A. .

  Further, when the big hit determination result of the pending data is a probable big hit, a mode in which the first special display is started from blinking can be considered. As the first special display, for example, a method of maintaining a blinking state or changing to a display mode of a color different from the normal lighting can be considered. For example, in the hold state as shown in FIG. 11A (that is, when the hold data is not stored in the second hold table 14b and the four hold data are stored in the first hold table 14a). ), When notifying the big hit determination result of the fourth hold data in the first hold table 14a in S59, for example, the hold lamp 155d is displayed in the first display color (for example, green) and once flashed, and then As shown in FIG. 11B, the display mode can be changed to a display of a second display color (for example, red) different from the normal lighting. Thereby, the player can know that a probable big hit will occur in the fourth hold.

  In addition, when the big hit determination result of the hold data is a normal big hit that is not a probable big hit, a display mode (a mode in which blinking is changed to the second special display) different from the above-described notification method for the probable big hit Can do. As the second special display, for example, a method of maintaining a blinking state or changing to a display mode of a color different from the notification color at the time of normal lighting or a probable big hit is conceivable. For example, in the hold state as shown in FIG. 12A (that is, when two hold data are stored in the second hold table 14b), the second hold table 14b in the second hold table 14b in S59. When informing the jackpot determination result of the hold data, for example, the hold lamp 156b is displayed in the first display color (for example, green) and once flashes, and then, as shown in FIG. The display mode can be changed to display of three display colors (for example, blue). Thereby, the player can know that a normal jackpot occurs in the second hold.

  In the present embodiment, the main control board 10, the first hold number display device 55a, and the second hold number display device 56a correspond to an example of “notification means”, and a plurality of hold data is held in the hold means. It functions to individually notify information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the part of the pending data for each part of the pending data, and specifically, a predetermined gaming condition is established during the game In such a case, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result is notified individually for each part of the pending data.

  And after the process of S59, when it becomes No in S55, S56, and S58, or when it becomes Yes in S57, it is judged whether the production of the current round (R round) has ended. (S60) When a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to No in S60, and the processes after S55 are repeated. If an affirmative determination is made in S60, it is determined whether or not the value of R has reached the set maximum number of rounds (for example, 16) (S61). If the maximum number of rounds has not been reached, the determination is made in S61. It progresses to No and repeats the process after S50. If the maximum number of rounds has been reached, the process proceeds to Yes in S61, the big hit effect flag is turned off (S62), and the process ends.

(A preview example during a big hit game)
FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing an example of a notice during a big hit game. In the illustrated example, a big hit occurs at time t1, and the big hit effect is started by the effect display device 52. At time t2, the big hit game, that is, the first round is started. Then, at the time ta during the big hit game period, the first start port 53 is won and the first hold number U1 is 1. However, the result of the jackpot determination at the time of winning is a loss.

Thereafter, at the time tb, tc, td, the first start port 53 is won, and the first holding number U1 is increased to four. The results of the jackpot determination at the time tb and tc at the time of winning were both lost, but the result of the jackpot determination at the time of winning at the time td was a probable big hit. In this configuration, the big hit determination result is notified for each round in order from the hold data in the hold order. Thereafter, the big hit game has ended (time t11).

[Effect of the first embodiment]
In the pachinko machine 1 according to this configuration, when a plurality of hold data is held by the holding unit, for each part of the hold data, information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the part of the hold data is individually notified. doing. By notifying the content of the hold in this way, it is possible to suggest not only the information related to the latest jackpot determination but also the future information based on the content already held, and the player can use various methods. Can raise the sense of expectation. In particular, since information corresponding to the jackpot determination result can be individually notified for each part of the hold data, the degree of freedom of production increases, and in some cases the jackpot determination result based on a plurality of stored hold data It is easy to maintain the player's expectation because the information corresponding to can be provided multiple times.
Further, the notifying means displays so that the order of a part of the hold data for notifying information corresponding to the jackpot determination result can be specified when at least the hold means holds a plurality of hold data. . In this way, the player can play the game while grasping the order in which the part of the reserved data to be notified is in the plurality of held data. It is possible to appropriately grasp the time when a specific result is to be displayed, and the expectation at that time is more likely to increase.

Further, in this configuration, every time a round is performed by the release control means, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of some reserved data is individually notified by the notification means.
According to this configuration, for each round that accompanies the jackpot, information related to the jackpot determination result that is different from the jackpot can be individually notified. It becomes easy to make. In particular, it is possible to perform notification regarding different hold data in a plurality of rounds instead of finishing notification regarding the hold data only in one round, so that the player's expectation can be maintained longer during the big hit effect. The player can pay attention to the performance (particularly notification) with a new expectation every round.

Further, in this configuration, when a plurality of hold data is held in the hold means, information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of each hold data is individually notified.
Thus, if information corresponding to the jackpot determination result is individually notified for each hold data, more information corresponding to the jackpot determination result can be provided based on the stored hold data. Therefore, the degree of freedom of production is further increased, and notification that can be beneficial to the player can be performed more in the long term.

In addition, the notification means determines the jackpot determination result of any one of the target hold data (one hold data to be notified in S59 of FIG. 9) when at least a plurality of hold data is held in the hold means. The corresponding information can be individually notified, and when at least the holding means holds a plurality of holding data, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the target holding data is specified for the order of the target holding data. Display to get.
According to this configuration, the notification target can be further specified and subdivided, and the player can determine in detail in what order the hold data (target hold data) that is the notification target is in the plurality of hold data. You can play while grasping. In particular, since the time at which the final result of the data targeted for notification (target pending data) should be displayed is made more specific, the expectation at that time is more likely to increase.

Further, in this configuration, the number-of-holds display means is constituted by a symbol display device, and a specific symbol of the number of pieces of hold data held by the hold means is displayed. And the alerting | reporting means controls the display content in a symbol display apparatus so that the specific symbol corresponding to a part of pending | holding data may be changed into the symbol corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the said some pending | holding data.
In this configuration, not only the number of reserved data is displayed on the symbol display device so that the number of the reserved data is indicated, but the change of the specific symbol corresponding to the part of the reserved data causes the part of the reserved data to be displayed. The jackpot determination result is informed. Therefore, the specific symbol (the symbol for representing the number of reserved data) can be made more meaningful, and the performance of the specific symbol can be significantly increased. In addition, since notification can be performed by partially changing some of the specific symbols, it becomes easier to produce effects with the specific symbols more diversely and for a longer period of time.

  Further, in this configuration, the notifying means operates to individually notify information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of a part of the reserved data when the winning state at the target winning opening satisfies the prescribed condition. . In this way, if it is determined based on the winning state at the target winning opening whether or not to notify the jackpot determination result related to “partially reserved data”, the jackpot determination result is compared with the configuration in which notification is made uniformly. The notification condition can be interesting and the game can be further enhanced. In particular, in addition to the jackpot determination result, the player will have a great interest in the winning state at the target winning opening, and by appropriately increasing the places and conditions that attract the player's interest in this way, the game is interesting. Can be further increased.

Further, in this configuration, the notification means is partially applied after the condition that the winning state to the target winning opening is satisfied in a predetermined round during the big hit game after the big hit determination is made by the big hit determination means. The information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the reserved data is operated to be individually notified.
In this way, the player can not only enjoy the display mode of the display device during the big hit game, but also enjoy the trend by paying attention to the winning state at the target winning opening in the predetermined round. When the winning condition in the mouth satisfies the prescribed condition, the contents of the jackpot determination result for some reserved data can be received and enjoyed.

In particular, in a predetermined round during a big hit game, when the time required for the number of winning prizes to reach the predetermined winning slot satisfies a predetermined time condition, the big hit determination result of some reserved data after the predetermined round It operates to notify corresponding information individually.
In this way, during the big hit game, the player plays a game with a clear and easy-to-achieve goal that “the time until the number of winning prizes at the target winning opening reaches the predetermined number satisfies the predetermined time condition”. Will do. In addition, when the goal is achieved, the player is satisfied with the achievement and obtains useful information, so that the fun is synergistically increased. In particular, since a temporal element is incorporated in the characteristic part, the effect of increasing the speed and sharpness of the game becomes remarkable.

<Other embodiments>
In the above-described embodiment, in the plurality of rounds performed by the release control means, the notification regarding the hold data is performed one by one for each round. You may make it alert | report separately the information corresponding to. For example, notification of the jackpot determination result regarding the hold data may be sequentially performed in the even-numbered round, and notification of the jackpot determination result regarding the hold data may be sequentially performed in the odd-numbered round. Or the method of alerting | reporting the jackpot determination result regarding pending | holding data in order in the multiple of 3 may be sufficient.
As a specific method, for example, a part of the process of FIG. 9 is changed, and a process of determining whether or not the current R round is a predetermined specific round in the previous stage of S58 when the process proceeds to No in S57. The process of S58 is executed only when it is determined as a specific round, and the process of S58 is not executed when it is not determined as a specific round. For example, when the specific round is “even-numbered round”, a process of determining whether or not the current R-round is an even-numbered round is added in the previous stage of S58 when proceeding to “No” in S57. It is only necessary to execute the process of S58 only when it is determined that it is not even-numbered rounds, and to execute the process of S58.
In this configuration, the individual notification regarding the hold data is not performed uniformly in all rounds, but can be performed in a specific round, so that the notification is further distributed and the player's expectation is maintained longer. Can do. Further, since the notification for each round can be changed, the gameability can be further enhanced.

In the above embodiment, when two or more pieces of hold data are held in the hold means, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of each hold data is individually notified for each hold data. Information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of each of the plurality of reserved data may be individually notified for each reserved data. That is, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the holding group including two or more holding data may be individually notified.
In this case, for example, the process of FIG. 9 is partially changed, and in the process of S59, information corresponding to the jackpot determination result for a predetermined number (for example, two) of pending data with high priority is individually notified. do it.
Specifically, for example, the predetermined number is set to “2”, and it is determined in S56 whether or not there are two or more unsettled holding data (holding data for which the big hit determination result is not yet notified) exists. do it. When there are two or more unreserved pending data (holding data that has not yet been notified of the jackpot determination result) at the time of executing the process of S59, the highest priority among the undigested pending data If the hold data and the second highest hold data include a probable big hit, in S59, both hold lamps corresponding to the hold data are displayed in the first display color (for example, green) and once flashed. Thereafter, the display mode can be changed to display in a second display color (for example, red) different from the normal lighting. Further, when there are two or more unreserved pending data (holding data for which the big hit determination result has not yet been notified) when executing the process of S59, the highest priority among the undigested pending data If the hold data and the second highest hold data do not include the probable big hit and the normal big hit is included, in S59, both hold lamps corresponding to the hold data are displayed in the first display color (for example, green). The display mode may be such that the display is once flashed and then changed to a third display color (for example, blue) different from the normal lighting. Further, when there are two or more unreserved pending data (holding data for which the big hit determination result has not yet been notified) when executing the process of S59, the highest priority among the undigested pending data When the big hit is not included in the hold data and the second highest hold data, in S59, both hold lamps corresponding to the hold data are displayed in the first display color (for example, green) and blinked once. Thereafter, the display mode can be changed to the display of the first display color (for example, green) that is normally lit.
According to such a configuration, the notification target can be specified and subdivided to some extent, and the player can grasp in detail which order the reservation group that is the notification target is in the plurality of hold data. You can play games. In particular, since the time when the final result of the notification target should be displayed is embodied in a certain time zone, the player's expectation is likely to be sustained for a long time.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example using the first hold number display device 55a and the second hold number display device 56a has been described. However, the method for displaying the hold number is not limited to this. For example, the effect display device 52 is a liquid crystal display device or the like. And the number of holds may be displayed on the effect display device 52 as in the four hold display sections shown in the lower part of FIGS. 13A and 13B show an example in which the color of the hold display portion changes when there is hold data, and FIG. 13B shows an example when there are four hold data. is there. Even when such display is performed, the notification method of the jackpot determination result based on the hold data is the same as in the above embodiment. For example, when the hold data with the first priority in S59 of FIG. 9 should be displayed. As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the first hold display unit is once blinked, and then the hold determination result is displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (b). In the example of FIG. 14B, the first hold data with the first priority indicates a loss, and the display of the first hold display unit is set to a display mode corresponding to the loss. Further, when the second hold data with the second priority is to be displayed in S59 of FIG. 9 in another round, the second hold display section is once flashed as shown in FIG. The hold determination result is displayed as in 15 (b). In the example of FIG. 15B, the second hold data indicates a big hit, and the display of the second hold display unit is set to a display mode corresponding to the big win.

  In the above embodiment, the main control RAM 14 corresponding to the holding means sequentially holds the big hit determination result as the holding data. However, the game ball is moved by the switches (the first starting port switch 53a and the second starting port switch 59a). You may make it hold | maintain the numerical value (the above-mentioned big hit lottery counter value) acquired by the numerical value acquisition means, whenever it detects, as holding data. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the big hit determination is performed immediately after acquisition based on the numerical value acquired by the numerical value acquisition means. However, this big hit determination may be similarly performed in S59. In this case, in the process of S59, after determining the big hit for the hold data based on the numerical value held as the hold data to be notified in S59, the jackpot determination result is obtained in the same manner as in the above embodiment. What is necessary is just to alert | report.

When the lottery process in S58 (FIG. 9) of the first embodiment is lost, the process proceeds to No in S58 and has the highest priority among the unreserved pending data at the time of the process in S58. It is good also as already notified, without alerting | reporting a jackpot determination result about pending data. In this case, the main control board 10 described above corresponds to an example of a determination unit. When at least a plurality of hold data is held in the hold unit, information corresponding to the jackpot determination result is displayed for each hold data. It functions to determine whether or not, specifically, it functions to determine whether or not to display information corresponding to the jackpot determination result for each pending data by lottery.
The main control board 10, the first hold number display device 55 a and the second hold number display device 56 a configured as the notification means have a jackpot determination result by this determination means when a plurality of hold data is held in at least the hold means. The hit data of the target hold data is determined to be the hold data determined to display the information corresponding to the hold data (that is, the hold data that has not been digested and has the highest priority at the time determined to be Yes in S58). It functions to display information corresponding to the result so that the order of the target pending data can be specified.

In the above embodiment, an example of the notification condition by the notification means (in the case where the winning condition at the target winning opening satisfies a condition), the notification condition is not limited to the above example. For example, when the number of winning prizes at a target winning opening in a predetermined round during a big hit game satisfies a predetermined number of conditions, information corresponding to the big hit determination result of a part of reserved data in the predetermined round or after the predetermined round is individually You may operate so as to notify.
This configuration can be realized by slightly changing only a part of the processing of FIG. 9, for example, the “predetermined number condition” is “12” and the round (current round) in which the processing of S58 of FIG. 9 is performed. If the round immediately before) is “predetermined round”, if 12 game balls enter the winning prize opening in this “predetermined round”, the process proceeds to Yes in S58 of the current round (current round), and then proceeds to S59. Notification may be performed. More specifically, for example, in the configuration in which the grand prize winning port 57a is closed when ten game balls have won the grand prize winning port 57a after the grand prize winning port 57a is opened, the grand prize winning port 57a. If two or more extras are won and the number reaches 12, the process may proceed to Yes in S58.
In this way, during the big hit game, it is possible to urge the player to play the game so that the number of winning prizes to the target winning opening satisfies the predetermined number condition. In order to obtain the jackpot determination result for the pending data, the player will endeavor to satisfy the predetermined number condition for the target winning opening, and give the player a clear and reasonably easy-to-achieve goal. This will increase the fun of the game. In addition, when the goal is achieved, the player is satisfied with the achievement and obtains useful information, so that the fun is synergistically increased.

In addition, the notifying means compares the winning state of the target winning opening in the predetermined round during the big hit game with the winning state of the target winning opening in the round before the predetermined round, and a predetermined comparison result is obtained. In addition, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of some reserved data may be individually notified in the predetermined round or after the predetermined round.
This configuration can also be realized by slightly changing only a part of the processing of FIG. 9, for example, the current round when the determination processing of S58 of FIG. 9 is performed is “predetermined round” and immediately before the current round. If the number of rounds is “the round before the predetermined round”, the process proceeds to Yes in S58 when the number of winnings in the current winning round exceeds the number of winnings in the previous round. , S59 may be performed.
In this way, if the decision on whether or not to report the jackpot determination result of some of the pending data is made based on the comparison result of the winning state in the previous and subsequent rounds, the player can determine the round that was performed before. As a guide, a game of a predetermined round is performed so that a predetermined comparison result can be obtained, and the player is more interested in the trend of each round. Thereby, the game nature in a big hit game can be improved significantly. Note that the “predetermined comparison result” is not limited to the example in which “the winning number in the current round exceeds the winning number in the previous round” as described above, but the winning number in the current round is The result may be the same as the number of winnings in the previous round, or the number of winnings in the current round may be lower than the number of winnings in the previous round.

In the above configuration, the grand prize opening is set as the “target prize opening”, but the target prize opening may be other prize winning openings. For example, when the starting port is the “target winning port”, the notifying unit has a predetermined condition regarding a winning state at the starting port during a predetermined round or a predetermined round during the big hit game after the big hit determining unit makes a big hit determination. When it is satisfied, the information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of a part of the pending data may be individually notified thereafter. For example, when “predetermined condition” is “one prize” and “predetermined round” is the round immediately before the current round, in the round immediately before the current round in which the determination process of S58 of FIG. If at least one game ball is won at the start opening, it may be determined that the “specific game condition” is satisfied, and the process may proceed to Yes in S58. In addition, it may be determined whether “the winning state at the start opening satisfies a predetermined condition during a predetermined round”, for example, the current round in which the determination process of S58 of FIG. If at least one game ball is won at the start opening between rounds, it may be determined that the “specific game condition” is satisfied, and the process may proceed to Yes in S58.
In this way, the player keeps paying attention to the starting port not only before the big hit but also during a predetermined round or a predetermined round during the big hit game, and plays the game so that the winning state at the starting port satisfies the predetermined condition. Will continue. Therefore, the interest regarding the starting port and the gaming state does not decrease too much before and after the occurrence of the big hit, and it is possible to realize a gaming machine that is more tired and interesting.
In particular, it is more meaningful to win a game ball at the start opening during a predetermined round during a big hit game or between predetermined rounds, so the player is strongly motivated to continue firing the game ball even during a big hit game. You can give a date.

In addition, the notification means is based on the condition that the number of reserved data reaches a predetermined number by winning a game ball at a starting opening during a predetermined round during a big hit game or between predetermined rounds. You may operate | move so that the information corresponding to a jackpot determination result may be alert | reported separately. For example, when “predetermined round” is the round immediately before the current round and the “predetermined number” is the maximum number (for example, 8) that can be held, immediately before the current round in which the determination process of S58 of FIG. When the number of pending data reaches a predetermined number (for example, 8) by winning a game ball at the starting opening in each round, it is determined that the “specific game condition” is satisfied and the process proceeds to Yes in S58. Also good.
In this configuration, it is possible to acquire useful information (that is, to obtain a jackpot determination result of some reserved data) by winning more game balls at the start opening during a predetermined round or between predetermined rounds during the big hit game. Therefore, the player can continue and enjoy playing the game ball with a clear target even during the big hit game.

The notification means may have a selection means for automatically selecting a predetermined round from a plurality of rounds executed during the big hit game. As an example, the above-mentioned “predetermined round” is selected by lottery. The selection means can be configured to determine. In this case, in S58, a lottery process is performed such that a win occurs with a predetermined probability. When a win is made, for example, the round immediately before the round (current round) in which the process of S58 is performed is set to “predetermined round”. The same processing as in the first embodiment or the other embodiments described above can be performed.
In this way, the rounds that should be involved in obtaining “information corresponding to the jackpot determination result of the pending data” are determined at random, and a variety of operations that can strike the player's intentions are possible. .
Note that the example of the lottery process is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined lottery process may be performed at the beginning of each round in the big hit game to determine whether the winning or losing. Then, when the process of S58 is performed in each round, if it is a win in the lottery process of the previous round, the same process as in the above embodiment is performed by setting the previous round as a “predetermined round”. Also good. In this case, if a win occurs in the lottery process of each round, if the player is informed to that effect (for example, a method such as a lamp display or a liquid crystal display), the player can grasp that fact. In that round (predetermined round), it is possible to make an effort to obtain the jackpot determination result of the reserved data.

Further, the selection means may operate so as to determine a predetermined round based on success or failure of a prescribed game condition at a predetermined time. As an example, for example, it is determined whether or not the “specified game condition” is satisfied in each round during the big hit game, and if it is satisfied, a flag to that effect is held. it can. The “regulated game conditions” are variously considered, and may be “a predetermined number of winnings at a predetermined winning opening”, “a game ball winning at a predetermined timing”, “a predetermined button operation”, etc. Also good. For example, when “predetermined number of winnings at a predetermined winning opening” is set as “regulated game conditions”, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of gaming balls have won at a predetermined winning opening in each round. Set a flag. When the process of S58 is performed in each round, if the flag is held in the previous round, the previous round is set as the “predetermined round”, the same process as in the above embodiment is performed, and the flag is set after the process is executed. Can be canceled.
If it does in this way, it will come to be decided by the game condition in the time with a round which should be concerned in order to obtain "information corresponding to the big hit judgment result of reservation data", and can further increase the element which attracts a player's interest. .
