Similarly, when the counter circuit 316 receives a signal indicating that the ball has won the second special figure starting port 128, the counter circuit 316 latches the value at the timing of the counter corresponding to the second special figure starting port 128. The latched value is stored in a built-in counter value storage register corresponding to the second special figure starting port 128.

  Further, an information output circuit 334 is connected to the basic circuit 302, and the main control unit 300 outputs game information of the pachinko machine 100 to the information input circuit 652 via the information output circuit 334. This game information includes information such as the number of suspensions of the special figure 1 variable game and the special figure 2 variable game, the number of times the special figure is displayed, information indicating the game state, and the like. An information input circuit 652 shown in FIG. 4 is a circuit provided in a data display (not shown) installed around the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment. The data display is for displaying the number of jackpots, the number of special display variations, etc. to the player. This data display is connected to a game store computer (not shown).

  The main control unit 300 is provided with a voltage monitoring circuit 336 that monitors the voltage value of the power source supplied from the power management unit 650 to the main control unit 300. The voltage monitoring circuit 336 is a voltage value of the power source. Is less than a predetermined value (9v in this embodiment), a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output to the basic circuit 302.

  In addition, the main control unit 300 is provided with a start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. When the activation signal is input, main control unit main processing described later is started.

  The main control unit 300 includes an output interface for transmitting a command to the sub-control unit 400 and an output interface for transmitting a command to the payout control unit 550. With this configuration, the sub-control unit 400 In addition, communication with the payout control unit 550 is enabled. Information communication between the main control unit 300, the sub control unit 400, and the payout control unit 550 is one-way communication, and the main control unit 300 can transmit signals such as commands to the sub control unit 400 and the payout control unit 550. However, the sub-control unit 400 and the payout control unit 550 are configured such that signals such as commands cannot be transmitted to the main control unit 300.

<Sub control unit>
Next, the sub control unit 400 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described.

  The sub-control unit 400 includes a basic circuit 402 that controls the entire sub-control unit 400 mainly based on commands transmitted from the main control unit 300. The basic circuit 402 includes a CPU 404, a control program, ROM 406 for storing various data, RAM (RWM) 408 for temporarily storing data, I / O 410 for controlling input / output of various devices, and for measuring time and frequency A counter timer 412 is mounted. The CPU 404 of the basic circuit 402 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output from the crystal oscillator 414 as a system clock.

  The basic circuit 402 drives a sound source IC 418 for controlling the speaker 416 (and amplifier), a display circuit 422 for controlling various lamps 420, a movable body for rendering of the rendering device 200, and the like. An effect driving device control circuit 426 for controlling various effect driving devices 424 including a solenoid or a motor as a driving device, and a decorative symbol display device (liquid crystal display device) 110 and a shielding means 250 are controlled. The decorative symbol display control unit 500 is connected to the chance button detection circuit 380 that detects the pressing of the chance button 146 and outputs a signal.

<Discharge control unit, launch control unit, power supply management unit>
Next, the payout control unit 550, the launch control unit 600, and the power supply management unit 650 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described.

  The payout control unit 550 controls the payout device 552 mainly based on a signal such as a command transmitted from the main control unit 300, and the payout of the winning ball or the rental ball is completed based on a control signal output from the payout sensor 554. It is detected whether or not the card unit 654 is provided separately from the pachinko machine 100 via the interface unit 556.

  The firing control unit 600 determines the amount of operation of the launch handle 148 by the player, which is output from the control signal instructing permission or stop of launch output from the payout control unit 550, or the launch intensity output circuit provided in the operation handle 148. Based on the control signal instructing the corresponding launch intensity, the launch motor 602 that drives the launcher 138 and the launcher 140 is controlled, and the ball feeder 604 that supplies the balls from the storage tray 144 to the launch rail 142 is controlled. .

  The power management unit 650 converts the AC power supplied from the outside to the pachinko machine 100 into a direct current, converts it into a predetermined voltage, and controls the control units such as the main control unit 300 and the sub control unit 400, and the devices such as the dispensing device 552. To supply. Further, the power management unit 650 supplies a power storage circuit (for example, a power supply circuit) for supplying power to a predetermined part (for example, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300) for a predetermined period (for example, 10 days) even after the external power supply is cut off. Capacitor).

<Type of design>
Next, the first special figure display device 198, the second special figure display device 114, the decorative symbol display device 110, and the universal figure display device 112 of the pachinko machine 100 are stopped and displayed using FIGS. The types of special maps and general maps to be described will be described.

  FIG. 5A shows an example of a special display stop display symbol. Based on the fact that the first start port sensor detects that a ball has entered the first special view start port 126, the first special view display device 198 is configured to turn off all seven segments, Start “Special Figure Fluctuation Display” which repeats lighting of one segment. Then, when the variation time determined before the start of the variation of the first special figure display device 198 elapses, the first special figure display device 198 displays “Special figure A” when notifying the winning of the special figure 1 variable game, When "Special Figure B", "Special Figure C", "Special Figure D", "Special Figure E" or "Special Figure F" is stopped and displayed, and the special figure 1 game is out of play, G ”is stopped and displayed. In addition, the white part in a figure shows the location of the segment which turns off, and the black part shows the location of the segment which lights up (hereinafter the same).

  In addition, based on the fact that the second start port sensor detects that a ball has entered the second special view start port 128, the second special view display device 114 also turns on all seven segments, The “figure display of special figure” which repeats lighting of one central segment is started. And when the variation time determined before the start of the variation of the second special figure display device 114 elapses, the second special figure display device 114 also notifies “Special figure A” when notifying the winning of the special figure 2 variable game, When "Special Figure B", "Special Figure C", "Special Figure D", "Special Figure E", or "Special Figure F" is stopped and displayed, and the special figure 2 floating game is informed, G ”is stopped and displayed.

  “Special figure A” shown in FIG. 5A is a 15 round (15R) special jackpot symbol, and “Special figure B” is a 15R jackpot symbol. “Special figure C” is a two-round (2R) special jackpot symbol, and “Special figure D” is a two-round (2R) jackpot symbol. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, as will be described later, the determination as to whether or not the big win 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 jackpot is made by lottery of software random numbers. The difference between the jackpot and the special jackpot is whether the probability of winning the jackpot is high (special jackpot) or low (jackpot) in the next special figure variation game. In both the jackpot game and the special jackpot game, the door member 1301 of the variable winning opening 130 shown in FIG. When “Special Figure A” and “Special Figure B” are stopped and displayed, the door member 1301 of the variable prize opening 130 shown in FIG. 2 opens and closes with an opening time of 29 seconds and a closing time of 1.5 seconds (however, a variable prize is awarded). When the tenth ball enters the mouth 130, it is closed 15 times continuously. On the other hand, when “special drawing C” and “special drawing D” are stopped and displayed, the door member 1301 of the variable winning opening 130 shown in FIG. 2 opens and closes with an opening time of 0.9 seconds and a closing time of 0.2 seconds. Is performed twice in succession. Hereinafter, opening / closing control of the door member 1301 at the variable winning opening 130 is started, and the opening / closing operation of the door member 1301 is repeated two or more predetermined times until there is a predetermined number of balls in the variable winning opening 130. -The period until the closing control is finished is called "hit game (state)". Note that, regardless of whether the game is a 15R jackpot (including a 15R special jackpot) or a 2R jackpot (including a 2R special jackpot), the jackpot game is in a non-time-short state, and after the jackpot game is over, the time is short. In this embodiment, the 15R special jackpot, the 15R jackpot, the 2R special jackpot, and the 2R jackpot are all jackpots with a so-called time reduction. A detailed description of the time reduction will be described later.

  On the other hand, “special drawing E” shown in FIG. 5A is the first small hitting design, and “special drawing F” is the second small hitting design. The small hit here is equivalent to the 2R big hit except that there is no time saving. In other words, the non-time saving state is maintained even during the first and second small hit games, but the non-time reduction state is maintained even after the first and second small hit games are completed. Also, “Special G” is a missed symbol.

  In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, symbols other than “Special Figure A” are prepared as 15R special jackpot symbols, and the same applies to other symbols such as 15R jackpot symbols. In addition, as a special display stop display pattern, a 15R special jackpot, 15R jackpot, 2R special jackpot, or 2R jackpot without time reduction may be prepared.

  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”. When the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game is started, “decoration 1” is displayed in the symbol display areas 110a, 110b, and 110c of the decorative symbol display device 110 in the left symbol display area 110a, the middle symbol display area 110b, and the right symbol display area 110c. “Decoration display change” is performed to switch the display in the order of “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... “Decoration 9” → “decoration 10” → “decoration 1” →. When the 15R jackpot is notified, a symbol combination corresponding to the 15R jackpot is displayed in the symbol display areas 110a to 110c (in this embodiment, a combination of decorative symbols having the same numbers (for example, “decoration 2-decoration 2-decoration”). 2 ")) is stopped and the 15R special jackpot is notified, a combination of symbols corresponding to the 15R special jackpot (in this embodiment, a combination of decorative symbols having the same odd number numbers (for example," decoration 1- Decoration 1-Decoration 1 ")) is stopped and displayed. When notifying 2R special jackpot, 2R big jackpot, first small jackpot, and second small jackpot, symbol combinations corresponding to them (for example, “decoration 1—decoration 2— Decoration 3 ") is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when notifying of a detachment, symbol combinations other than the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 3B are stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 110a to 110c. That is, the decorative symbol display device 110 notifies the lottery result of the special figure 1 variable game and the lottery result of the special figure 2 variable game.

  Although not shown in the figure here, two types of winning symbols and missed symbols are also prepared for the common symbol display device 112. The general-purpose display game is started on the condition that the gate sensor detects that the ball has passed through the general-purpose start opening 124. When the general map display game is started, the general map display device 112 performs “variable display of a general map” by repeatedly lighting all seven segments and lighting one central segment. The winning symbol is stopped and displayed when notifying the winning of the common variable game, and the outlying symbol is stopped and displayed when the loss of the general variable game is notified.

<Main control unit main processing>
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) 338 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 starts reset by a reset interrupt and executes main control unit main processing shown in FIG. 6 according to a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306.

  In step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In this initial setting 1, setting of a stack initial value (temporary setting) to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of an interrupt mask, initial setting of the I / O port 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, WDT 313 Allow operation and set initial values. In this embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set as an initial value in WDT 313.

  In step S102, the value of the counter of WDT 313 is cleared, and the time measurement by WDT 313 is restarted.

  In 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 336 supplies from the power management unit 650 to the main control unit 300 is a predetermined value (in this embodiment, 9v), it is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output. If the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply has been shut off), the process returns to step S102. If the low voltage signal is off (if the CPU 304 has not detected the power supply being cut off), the process proceeds to step S102. The process proceeds to S104. Even when the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S102, and step S103 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S104, initial setting 2 is performed. In this 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 and a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, a sub-port) Processing for outputting a clear signal from the output port to the control unit 400, setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like are performed.

  In step S105, it is determined whether or not to return to the state before the power interruption (before the power interruption), and the state before the power interruption is not restored (when the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 is set to the initial state). ) Proceeds to an initialization process (step S107).

  Specifically, whether or not a RAM clear signal transmitted when a RAM clerk or the like of a game store first operates a RAM clear switch provided on the power supply board is on (indicating 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 S107 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 S107 to set the basic circuit 302 to the 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). If the checksum result is a specific value (for example, 0) (if the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step S106 to return to the state before power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the checksum result is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S107 in order to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state. Similarly, if the power status information indicates information other than “suspend”, the process proceeds to step S107.

  In step S106, 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 interruption is read 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, reset to 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 steps S108 and S109) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt processing (described later) immediately before the power interruption. In addition, a transmission information storage area is provided in the RAM 308 mounted on the basic circuit 302 in the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. In step S106, EH is set as a power recovery command 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 sub-control unit 400 in step S217 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300 described later.

  In step S107, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization processing, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer, 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 S107) of the main control unit 300 has been performed. Similar to the power recovery command, the sub-control in step S217 of the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300 is performed. Transmitted to unit 400.

  In step S108, after setting for interrupt inhibition, basic random number initial value update processing is performed. In this basic random number initial value updating process, a special winning random number counter, a special figure 1 jackpot symbol random number counter, a special figure 2 jackpot random number counter, a special figure 1 small lottery random value counter, and Special Figure 2 The initial value generating random number counter for generating the initial value of the small lottery symbol lottery value counter and the random number counter for generating the normal timer random number value are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as normal timer random numbers is 0 to 20, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal timer random value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 21, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. Further, after this basic random number initial value update process is completed, an interrupt permission is set, and the process proceeds to step S109.

  In step S109, 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.

  The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the processes of steps S108 and S109 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

<Main controller timer interrupt processing>
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 main controller timer interrupt processing.

  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). The timer interrupt signal is used as a trigger to perform main control unit timer interrupt processing. Start with a period of

  In step S201, timer interrupt start processing is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S202, WDT is periodically performed (this implementation is performed so that the WDT interrupt does not occur (the processing abnormality is not detected)) because the count value of WDT 313 exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this embodiment). In the example, the restart is performed once in about 2 ms which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S203, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of various sensors 318 including the above-mentioned glass frame opening sensor, inner frame opening sensor, lower pan full sensor, and various ball detection sensors via the input port of the I / O 310. Is input and 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 318 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 that is partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the detection signal storage area that is partitioned and provided for each sphere detection sensor in the previous timer interruption process (about 2 ms before). Information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each detected sphere detection sensor is read from the current detection signal storage area provided in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor, and this information is stored in the previous detection signal storage area described above. To do. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  In step S203, the information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the 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. While one game ball passes through one ball detection sensor, this main control unit timer interruption process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interrupt process is activated, in step S203 described above, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed. 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 the previous time, there is a previous detection signal, and there is a detection signal this time. 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. In the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4, 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) is stored. In this step S203, 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 present, current detection signal present). In the case of the general winning port 122, the variable winning port 130, the first special figure starting port 126, and the second special figure starting port 128, or the ordinary starting port 124. Is determined to have passed. In other words, it is determined that there has been a winning at these winning openings 122 and 130 and these starting openings 124, 126 and 128. 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 that detects the winning at the general winning opening 122, there is a winning at the general winning opening 122. If the information on the presence / absence of the detection signal for the past three times does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the subsequent general winning is performed. The process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with winning a prize in the mouth 122. 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, no previous detection signal, 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 S204 and step S205, basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing are performed. In these basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing, the value of the initial value generation random number counter performed in the above step S108 is updated, and then used in the main control unit 300. Special figure 1 big hit symbol lottery random value, special figure 2 big hit symbol lottery random value, special figure 1 small hit symbol lottery random value, and special figure 2 small hit symbol lottery random value Update the random number counter. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as a random number value for a normal winning number is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal winning random number value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. If it is determined that the random number counter has made one round as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, the value of the initial value generating random number counter corresponding to each random number counter is acquired and stored in the storage area of the random number counter. set. For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for generating a regular winning random number that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 100, 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 generating the random number for winning the normal number, The initial value set this time is stored in the above-described initial value storage area in order to determine that the random number counter for generating the winning random number value has made one round next time, in addition to setting it in the random number counter for generating the winning random value Keep it. In addition to the above initial value storage area for determining that the random number counter for generating the normal winning random number next makes one round, four other random number counters (for generating random numbers for the special figure 1 jackpot symbol lottery) Random number counter, special figure 2 random number generator random number generator for generating lottery symbols, special figure 1 random number counter for generating random numbers for small lottery symbols, special figure 2 random number counter for generating random numbers for small lottery symbols) The RAM 308 is provided with four initial value storage areas for determining that one round has been made. In the present embodiment, a counter for acquiring the jackpot symbol lottery random value and a counter for acquiring the jackpot symbol lottery random value are provided separately for the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, respectively. However, the same counter may be used for special figure 1 and special figure 2.

  In step S206, 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. Here, the random number counter for generating the effect random number performed in step S109 is updated.

  In step S207, timer update processing is performed. In this timer updating process, the normal symbol display symbol update timer for timing the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the normal symbol display device 112, and the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 198 are counted. Special symbol 1 display symbol update timer for performing, special symbol 2 display symbol update timer for measuring the time for changing / stopping the symbol display on the second special symbol display device 114, predetermined winning effect time, predetermined opening time Various timers including a timer for measuring a predetermined closing time, a predetermined end effect period, and the like are updated.

  In step S208, winning prize counter updating processing is performed. In this winning prize counter updating process, when winning prizes 122, 130 and starting holes 124, 126, 128 are won, the RAM 308 stores the winning ball number storage area provided for each winning slot or each starting slot. The value is read out, 1 is added, and the original prize ball number storage area is set.

  In step S209, a winning acceptance process (details will be described later) is performed.

  In step S210, a payout request number transmission process is performed. The output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 550 are composed of 1 byte, strobe information in bit 7 (indicating that data is set when on), and power supply in bit 6 Input information (indicating that it is the first command transmission after power-on when turned on), bits 4-5 for the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 for encryption processing The number of subsequent payout requests is indicated.

  In step S211, 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 112 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the general map display device 112 performs a general variable display (general variable game).

  Further, in the general state update process at the timing when the normal map change display time has elapsed (the timing when the value of the general map display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), if the hit flag is on, When the 7-segment LED constituting the universal display device 112 is turned on / off so as to be in the A mode, and the hit flag is OFF, the normal map is displayed in the above-described general B mode. The 7-segment LED constituting the device 112 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 normal symbol display device 112 performs a fixed display of either the winning symbol (normal symbol A) or the off symbol (normal symbol B). Thereafter, 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, 500 msec). 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.

  Also, if the result of the usual figure variable game is a win, the usual figure hit flag is turned on as will be described later. In the case where 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 value of the usual figure stop time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), The normal operation is set in the setting area, and the blade member 1281 is opened to a solenoid (330) for opening and closing the blade member 1281 of the second special figure starting port 128 for a predetermined opening period (for example, 2 seconds). And a signal 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 1281 in the closed state is output to the solenoid 330 for opening / closing driving of 1281, 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. Furthermore, if the result of the usual figure fluctuation game is out, the usual figure out flag is turned on as will be described later. When the off-normal flag is on, the normal state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing at which the normal stop time management timer value changes 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 S212.

  In step S212, a general drawing related lottery process (details will be described later) is performed.

  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 S213). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following eight processes is performed in accordance with the state of the special figure 2. For example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the above-mentioned special figure 2 display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the second special figure display device 114 is turned on. Performs lighting / extinguishing drive control that repeatedly turns off. By performing this control, the second special figure display device 114 performs the special figure 2 variable display (special figure 2 variable game).

  Further, as will be described in detail later, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 includes a 15R big hit flag, a 2R big hit flag, a first small hit flag, a second small hit flag, and a probability variation flag. In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the special figure 2 fluctuation time has passed (when the special figure 2 display symbol update timer value changes from 1 to 0), the 15R jackpot flag is on and the probability fluctuation flag is also on. 5A, the special figure A, 15R jackpot flag is on, the probability fluctuation flag is off, and the special figure B, 2R jackpot flag is on, and the probability fluctuation flag is on. FIG. C: 2D special figure D when 2R jackpot flag is on, probability fluctuation flag is off, special figure E when first small hit flag is on, special figure when second small hit flag is on F, 15R jackpot flag, 2R jackpot flag, 7 segments constituting the second special figure display device 114 so that each of the special figure G is set when the first small hit flag and the second small hit flag are off. LE Perform turning on and off the driving control of performing the setting indicating that the special symbol 2 stop display of the setting area of the RAM 308. By performing this control, the second special symbol display device 114 is able to display the 15R special jackpot symbol (special symbol A), the 15R jackpot symbol (special symbol B), the 2R special jackpot symbol (special symbol C), and the 2R jackpot symbol (special symbol). (D), one of the first small hit symbol (special symbol E), the second small hit symbol (special symbol F), and the off symbol (special symbol G) is confirmed and displayed. After that, 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, 500 milliseconds). 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 time reduction number stored in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time reduction number, and if the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0, the probability is changing (details) If not, the time flag is turned off. Further, if the maintenance count stored in the special figure high probability state maintenance count storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more simultaneously with the end of the special figure 2 variable game, 1 is subtracted from the maintenance count, and the subtraction result When 1 changes from 1 to 0, the probability variation flag is turned off, and the state shifts to a special figure low probability state (normal variation state).

  In addition, in order to execute the general command rotation stop setting transmission process in the command setting transmission process (step S217), 4H is additionally stored as transmission information (general information) in the transmission information storage area described above, and the variable display is stopped. The special figure 2 identification information indicating that is special figure 2 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.

  On the other hand, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a jackpot, the jackpot 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, special figure 2 is in operation, and a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period in which an image for notifying the player that a big hit by the decorative symbol display device 110 is displayed 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, 5H is additionally stored as transmission information (command type) in the above-described transmission information storage area in order to execute the general command winning effect setting transmission process in the command setting transmission process (step S217).

  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 130.) The door member 1301 is opened to the solenoid (330) for driving to open / close the door member 1301 of the variable winning opening 130. A signal for maintaining the 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, 7H is additionally stored as transmission information (command type) in the transmission information storage area described above in order to execute the general command big prize opening setting transmission process in the command setting transmission process (step S217).

  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 1301 in a closed state is output to the solenoid (330) for opening and closing the door member 1301 of the variable winning opening 130, and the storage period of the door closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308 is closed. Set the information indicating. Further, 8H is additionally stored as transmission information (command type) in the above-described transmission information storage area in order to execute the general command big prize opening closing setting transmission process in the command setting transmission process (step S217).

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process in which the opening / closing control of the door member 1301 is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds) and started at the end timing, a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a decorative symbol display device 110. Information indicating the effect waiting period is set in the storage area of the effect waiting 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 jackpot by 110 is to be ended is displayed. To do. In addition, as described above, the opening / closing control of the variable winning opening 130 is started, and the time until the opening / closing control is ended by repeating the predetermined number of times two or more is referred to as “big hit game (state)”. If the jackpot flag is set to ON, simultaneously with the end of the jackpot game, 100 times are set in the hour / times storage section provided in the RAM 308, and the hour flag provided in the RAM 308 is turned on. . If the jackpot flag is set to OFF, the number of hour / hours is not set in the hour / hour number storage unit, and the hour / hour flag is not turned on. Further, 6H is additionally stored as transmission information (command type) in the above-described transmission information storage area in order to execute the general command end effect setting transmission process in the command setting transmission process (step S217). In addition, when the probability variation flag is on at the same time as the end of the jackpot game, the special figure high probability state maintenance number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 stores the special figure 1 variable game lottery number and the special figure 2 fluctuation. Set the maintenance count of 100, which is the total number of lotteries for the game.

  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. Furthermore, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is out, the jackpot flag is turned off as will be described later. When the jackpot flag is off, 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 operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S214.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step S214). 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 S213 and step S214 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, the special figure related lottery process (special figure 2 related lottery process) for special figure 2 is performed first (step S215), and then the special figure related lottery process for special figure 1 (special figure 1 related lottery process). ) Is performed (step S216). Although the details of these special figure-related lottery processes will be described later, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure-2 related lottery process before the special figure-1 related lottery process, thereby Even if the start condition of the special figure 1 variable game is satisfied at the same time, the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, so the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. Further, the notification of the result of the jackpot determination of the special figure variable game by the decorative symbol display device 110 is performed by the sub-control unit 400, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the second special figure starting port 128 is notified, This is prioritized over the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the first special figure starting port 126. As in the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, there are two special drawings (special figure 1 and special figure 2). Therefore, it becomes difficult to grasp the gaming state in the future lottery. Therefore, as will be described below, it is desirable to obtain advance determination information corresponding to a plurality of gaming states in advance.

  In step S217, command setting transmission processing is performed. The output schedule information transmitted to the sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bits 11 to 14 are command types ( 0H is a basic command, 1H is a symbol change start command, 4H is a symbol change stop command, 5H is a winning effect start command, 6H is an end effect start command, and 7H is a jackpot round Designated command, information for specifying the type of command such as a power recovery command for EH and a RAM clear command for FH, and bits 0 to 10 are command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type). It is composed.

  Specifically, the strobe information is turned on and off in the command transmission process described above. If the command type is a symbol change start command, the command data includes information indicating the value of the jackpot flag, the value of the probability change flag, the timer number selected in the special figure related lottery process, and the like. Further, in this embodiment, the symbol variation start command includes stop symbol information corresponding to the gaming state, which will be described later. If the command type is a symbol variation stop command, the command data includes a jackpot flag value, a probability variation flag value, etc., and if the command type is a winning effect command and an end effect start command, the probability variation In the case of the jackpot round number designation command, the value of the probability variation flag, the jackpot round number, and the like are included. When the command type indicates a basic command, device information in the command data, presence / absence of winning at the first special figure starting port 126, presence / absence of winning at the second special figure starting port 128, winning of the variable winning port 130 Includes presence or absence.

  In the general command rotation start setting transmission process described above, the command type is 1H, the jackpot flag value stored in the RAM 308 as the command data, the probability variation flag value, the special figure 1 related lottery process and the special figure 2 related lottery process. Information indicating the timer number selected in the process, the number of special figure 1 variable games or special figure 2 variable games held, and stop symbol information corresponding to the game state are set. In the above-described general command rotation stop setting transmission process, 4H is set as the command type, and information indicating the value of the jackpot flag, the value of the probability variation flag, etc. stored in the RAM 308 is set as the command data. In the above-described general command winning effect setting transmission process, the command type is 5H, the command data is stored in the RAM 308, and the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 110, various lamps 423, and the speaker 416 during the winning effect period. The information indicating the value of the probability variation flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game, etc. that are on hold is set. In the above-mentioned general command end effect setting transmission process, effect control information to be output to the decorative symbol display device 110, the various lamps 423, and the speaker 416 during the effect waiting period, stored in the RAM 308 as command type 6H and command data. The information indicating the value of the probability variation flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game, etc. that are on hold is set. In the above-described general command big prize opening release transmission process, the command type is 7H, the jackpot round number stored in the RAM 308 as the command data, the value of the probability variation flag, the pending special figure 1 variable game or special figure 2 Information indicating the number of variable games is set. In the above-mentioned general command big prize opening closing setting transmission process, the command type is 8H, the number of jackpot rounds stored in the RAM 308 as the command data, the value of the probability variation flag, the pending special figure 1 variable game or special figure 2 Information indicating the number of variable games is set. In step S217, a general command special figure hold increase process is also performed. In this general command special figure pending increase process, AH is set as the command type, and special figure identification information (information indicating special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308 is set as command data.

  The sub-control unit 400 can determine the effect control according to the change in the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and the command data included in the output schedule information Based on the information, it is possible to determine the contents of the effect control.

  In step S218, an external output signal setting process is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 that is separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step S219, 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 203 are read out to monitor whether there is a glass frame opening error or a lower pan full error, and so on. When a full tank error is detected, device information indicating whether or not there is a glass frame opening error or a lower pan full error is set in the transmission information to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. Further, various solenoids 330 are driven to control the opening and closing of the second special figure starting port 128 and the variable prize opening 130, and the general figure display device 112 and the first special figure display via the display circuits 322, 324, and 328. Display data to be output to the device 198, the second special figure display device 114, the various status display unit 326, 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 S210) is output to the sub-control unit 400 via the output port 310.

  In step S220, 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 S221. When the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S222.

  In step S221, 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, or interrupt permission is set, and then the process returns to the main process in the main control unit shown in FIG. To do.

  On the other hand, in step S222, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved as a return data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, 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.

<Prize acceptance process>
Next, the winning acceptance process in step S209 in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11 are flowcharts showing the flow of winning acceptance processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300.

  First, a winning acceptance process for the first special figure starting port 126 is performed. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of winning acceptance processing relating to the first special figure starting port 126. In step S1101 shown in FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not there is a winning at the first special figure starting port 126. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S203 shown in FIG. If there is a winning, the process proceeds to step S1102, and if there is no winning, the process proceeds to step S1201 shown in FIG. In step S1102, with reference to the special figure 1 holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308, it is determined whether or not the number of special figure 1 variable games that are held is less than a predetermined number (4 in this embodiment). If it is less than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S1103. On the other hand, if the number is greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S1201 shown in FIG.

  In step S1103, a value is acquired from the counter value storage register of the counter circuit 316b corresponding to the first special figure starting port 126 as the special figure 1 winning random number value, and the above-mentioned random number counter for generating the jackpot symbol lottery random value is generated. Is obtained as a random number value for lottery symbol lottery. As described above, the counter value storage register of the counter circuit 316b shown in FIG. 4 stores the value latched in the counter circuit 316 at the reception timing of the signal sent when the first start port sensor detects the game ball. (Hardware random value) is stored. The hardware random number value (Special Figure 1 winning random number value) acquired here is used to determine whether or not it is a big hit in the Special Figure 1 variable game in the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S216) described in detail later. Further, the random number counter for generating the jackpot symbol lottery random number value is the value (software random number value) updated in step S205 shown in FIG. This software random number value (random number value for jackpot symbol lottery) acquired here is used in the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S216) to determine whether or not it is a special jackpot (probable variation jackpot) of Special Figure 1. Furthermore, the random number counter for generating the random number value for lottery symbol lottery described above is also the value updated in step S205 shown in FIG. 7, and this value (the random number value for lottery symbol lottery) is also acquired. The random number value for lottery symbol lottery acquired here is used in the special drawing 1 related lottery processing (step S216) to determine whether or not it is the first small hit or the second small hit in Fig. 1. The sub-control unit 400 that executes Step S1103 corresponds to an example of a count value acquisition unit according to the present invention. In addition, in this step S1103, the value of the special figure 1 holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is updated. That is, 1 is added to the value in the special figure 1 holding number storage area. When the execution of step S1103 ends, the process proceeds to step S1104.

  The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a hold information storage area. In step S1104, the three types of values (special figure 1 winning random number value, jackpot symbol lottery random value, and jackpot symbol lottery random value) acquired in step S1103 described above are stored in the hold information storage area. In addition, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a prior determination information storage area in addition to the hold information storage area.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a hold information storage area and a pre-determination information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300.

  As shown in FIG. 9, each of the hold information storage area and the pre-determined information storage area includes four areas according to the number of reserved special game 1 variable games and four areas according to the number of special figure 2 variable games held. It is divided into and.

  In step S1104, the above three types of values are collectively stored in an unstored area among the four areas corresponding to the number of reserved special figure 1 variable games in the hold information storage area. In FIG. 9, values are stored in any area. The prior determination information storage area will be described later. When the execution of step S1104 ends, the process proceeds to step S1105.

  In step S1105, in order to execute the general command special figure hold increase setting process in the command setting transmission process (step S217), the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 transmits AH which is information indicating the special figure hold increase. It is additionally stored as (command type).

  In step S1106, information indicating that the special figure whose suspension has increased is special figure 1 is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, one of a special figure high probability state and a special figure low probability state (normal state) is taken. The special figure high probability state is a gaming state that has a relatively high probability of winning a jackpot after the special figure 2 variable game or after the special figure 1 variable game. This special figure high-probability state is called during probability fluctuation. On the other hand, the special figure low probability state is a gaming state that has a relatively low probability of winning a jackpot after the special figure 2 variable game ends or after the special figure 1 variable game ends. The special figure low probability state corresponds to an example of the first gaming state according to the present invention, and the special figure high probability state corresponds to an example of the second gaming state according to the present invention.

  Further, the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 includes four types of a hit determination table, a special figure determination table when winning a small win, a round number determination table when winning a big win, and a special figure high probability state transition determination table when winning a big win The lottery table is stored. The winning determination table includes lottery data that defines numerical ranges of big hits and small hits for each special figure low probability state and special figure high probability state, and these lottery data are expanded in the RAM 308. . The special figure determination table at the time of winning the small hits includes lottery data defining the numerical ranges of the first small hit and the second small hit for each special figure low probability state and special figure high probability state, These lottery data are also expanded in the RAM 308. The round number determination table at the time of winning the big hit includes lottery data defining numerical ranges for each 15R and 2R for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, and these lottery data are also expanded in the RAM 308. ing. The special figure high probability state transition determination table at the time of winning the jackpot includes lottery data defining the numerical ranges of the special figure high probability state transition and the special figure low probability state transition for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. These lottery data are also expanded in the RAM 308.

  In step S1107, first, it is determined whether the special figure 1 winning random number value acquired in step S1103 belongs to which lottery data according to the special figure low probability state in the winning determination table. Here, the determination according to the special figure low probability state is performed regardless of the current gaming state. In this determination, if it does not belong to any lottery data, the special figure 1 stop symbol displayed on the first special figure display device 198 is a stop symbol out of the special figure G shown in FIG. Acquire the determination result that there is. On the other hand, if the special figure 1 winning random number value belongs to the jackpot lottery data, this time, the special figure 1 big hit symbol random number value acquired in step S1103 is the special number 1 round number determination table in the big hit winning table. It is determined whether the lottery data per 15R or the lottery data per 2R in FIG. 1 belongs to, and the special figure high probability state in special figure 1 of the special figure high probability state transition determination table at the time of winning the big hit It is also determined whether the lottery data belongs to the lottery data of the transition or the lottery data of the special figure low probability state transition. As a result, when it belongs to the lottery data per 15R and belongs to the lottery data for the transition to the special figure high probability state, the special figure 1 stop symbol displayed on the first special figure display device 198 is shown in FIG. When the determination result that the special figure A is the 15R special jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 5 and belongs to the lottery data per 15R and belongs to the lottery data of the special figure low probability state transition, the special figure 1 stop symbol is When the determination result that the special figure B is the 15R jackpot symbol of the special figure B shown in FIG. 5A and belongs to the lottery data per 2R and belongs to the lottery data of the special figure high probability state transition, When the determination result that the stop symbol in FIG. 1 is the 2R special jackpot symbol of the special figure C shown in FIG. 1 (a) is acquired, it belongs to the lottery data per 2R, and belongs to the lottery data in the special figure low probability state The special figure 1 Stop symbols, to obtain a determination result that is 2R jackpot symbol JP diagram D shown in the diagram (a). Also, if the special figure 1 winning random number value belongs to the lottery lottery data, the special figure 1 small hit symbol random number value acquired in step S1103 is the However, regardless of the current gaming state, it is determined whether the lottery data belongs to the lottery data of the first small lot or the second small lottery data according to the special figure low probability state. As a result, when it belongs to the lottery data for the first small hit, the special figure 1 stop symbol displayed on the first special figure display device 198 is the first small hit symbol of the special figure E shown in FIG. If the determination result is acquired and belongs to the lottery data of the second small hit, the determination that the special figure 1 stop symbol is the second small hit symbol of the special figure F shown in FIG. Get the result. As shown in FIG. 9, the pre-determined information storage area is divided into four areas according to the number of reserved special figure 1 variable games and four areas according to the number of reserved special figure 2 variable games, Further, it is divided into a special figure high probability state prior determination information storage area and a special figure low probability state preliminary determination information storage area. In step S1107, the information representing the stop symbol of the first special figure display device 198, which is the obtained determination result, is displayed according to the number of pending special figure 1 variable games in the special figure low probability state pre-determined information storage area. Stored in the area (special figure 1 low-probability state prior determination information storage area).

  In step S1107 described above, one step is taken from the determination of the lottery result of the special figure 1 variable game in the special figure low probability state, and the first special figure display device 198 representing the lottery result is stopped. The determination result of what kind of stop symbol the symbol becomes is acquired. The determination result acquired in step S1107 corresponds to an example of the result of the first gaming state determination according to the present invention. In this way, by acquiring the advance determination information at the time of winning the first special figure starting port 126, it is possible to acquire the advance determination information in addition to storing the random value in the RAM 308 in step S1104, and acquire the advance determination information again. Since there is no need to provide timing, the processing load may be reduced. In addition, by acquiring the prior determination information for the random number value when winning, there is a case where it is not necessary to update the prior determination information that has already been stored in storage, and unnecessary processing may be omitted. Note that the determination result may be acquired by stopping the determination as to what kind of lottery result the special figure 1 variable game lottery result will have in the special figure low probability state. In the present embodiment, the stop display mode of the combination of the decorative symbols shown in FIG. 5B displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110 shown in FIG. 2 is determined by the sub-control unit 400. The main control unit 300 may acquire the determination result of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol display device 110 representing the lottery result of the special symbol 1 variable game in the special symbol low probability state. .

  In step S1108 following step S1107, the same determination as in step S1108 is performed according to the special figure high probability state regardless of the current gaming state. That is, in step S1108, a determination result is obtained as to what kind of stop symbol the stop symbol of the first special symbol display device 198 representing the lottery result of the special symbol 1 variable game in the special symbol high probability state becomes. In step S1108, the information indicating the stop symbol of the second special figure display device 114, which is the obtained determination result, is stored in the special figure high probability state advance determination information storage area shown in FIG. It memorize | stores in the area | region (Special figure 1 high-probability state prior determination information storage area) according to the number of reservations. The determination result acquired in step S1108 corresponds to an example of the result of the second gaming state determination according to the present invention. In this step S1108 as well, the determination result of the lottery result of the special figure 1 variable game in the special figure high probability state may be acquired, or the special figure in the special figure high probability state may be obtained. The determination result of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol display device 110 representing the lottery result of the variable game in FIG. 1 may be acquired.

  The main control unit 300 that executes step S1107 and step S1108 described above corresponds to an example of a prior determination unit according to the present invention. The prior determination information storage area shown in FIG. 9 corresponds to an example of a determination result storage unit according to the present invention.

  Next, a winning acceptance process for the second special figure starting port 128 is performed. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the winning acceptance process relating to the second special figure starting port 128. In each step from step S1201 to step S1208 shown in FIG. 10, “first” in each step from step S1101 to step S1108 shown in FIG. The description is omitted because it is the same as the step read as “FIG. 2”, but the determination result acquired in step S1207 shown in FIG. 10 corresponds to an example of the result of the first gaming state determination according to the present invention. The determination result acquired in step S1208 shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to an example of the result of the second gaming state determination according to the present invention. The main control unit 300 that executes step S1207 and step S1208 also corresponds to an example of a prior determination unit according to the present invention.

  Finally, a winning acceptance process for the normal start opening 124 and the variable winning opening 130 is performed. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow of winning acceptance processing relating to the universal start opening 124 and the variable winning opening 130. In step S1301 shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not there is a winning at the normal opening 124. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S203 shown in FIG. If there is a winning, the process proceeds to step S1302, and if there is no winning, the process proceeds to step S1306. In step S1302, it is determined whether or not the number of pending map variable games held in the RAM 308 is less than a predetermined number (2 in the present embodiment) by referring to the number of reserved figure storage area provided in the RAM 308. If not, the process proceeds to step S1303. On the other hand, if the number is greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S1306, and the lottery based on the winning at the normal start port 124 at this time is not performed.

  In step S1303, a value is acquired as a normal winning random value from the random number counter for generating the normal winning random number described above. The random number for generating the usual winning random number value is the value (software random number value) updated in step S205 shown in FIG. The software random number value acquired here (general winning random number) determines whether or not the result of the general drawing variable game is won or not in the general drawing related lottery process (step S212) described later. It is used for determining hits. When the execution of step S1303 ends, the process proceeds to step S1304.

  The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a random value storage area for ordinary use. In step S1304, the normal winning random number value acquired in step S1303 is stored in the random number storage area for normal use. The random number value storage area for ordinary maps is further divided into two areas corresponding to the number of suspensions of the ordinary figure variable game. In this step S1304, the random number value for winning the ordinary figure is not determined from the two areas. Store in the storage area. That is, the winning random number value acquired in step S1303 is stored in a storage area that is determined based on the number of holdings of the floating figure variable game in the random number value storage area for normal charts. When the execution of step S1304 ends, the process proceeds to step S1305.

  In step S1305, in order to execute the general command usual figure hold increase setting process in the command setting sending process (step S217), the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 transmits CH that is information indicating the usual figure hold increase. It is additionally stored as (command type).

  In step S <b> 1306, it is determined whether or not there is a winning in the variable winning opening 130. Here, the determination is also made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S203 shown in FIG. If there is a win, the process proceeds to step S1307. If there is no win, the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is also provided with a prize storage area for a variable prize opening. In step S 1307, information indicating that a ball has entered the variable winning opening 130 is stored in the winning storage area for the variable winning opening provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S1308, in order to execute the general command variable winning award winning process in the command setting transmission process (step S217), DH, which is information indicating the variable winning award winning, is transmitted to the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 as transmission information ( After the additional storage as the command type), the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

<General drawing related lottery processing>
Next, the general drawing related lottery processing in step S212 in the main control unit timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a flow of a general drawing related lottery process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300.

  First, in step S2001, it is determined whether or not the normal map non-variable display is being performed and the normal map is not being operated. That is, in step S2024, which will be described later, the normal variation display is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. Also, as described above, in the normal state update process (step S211) in the main control unit timer interrupt process of FIG. In step S2001, the setting area of the RAM 308 is referred to. If the normal map change display is set, the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Returning to the main control unit timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. On the other hand, if the normal map variable display is not set and the normal map non-operation is set, this time, referring to the general map hold number storage area provided in the RAM 308, the general map variable game hold It is determined whether or not the number is greater than 0 (step S2002). In other words, it is determined whether or not the number of pending general-game variable games is 1 or more. If 0, the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG. Proceed to

  In step S2003, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag provided in the RAM 308 is set to OFF. When the time reduction flag is set to OFF, the normal figure low probability state is set. When the time reduction flag is set to ON, the normal figure high probability state is set. The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is based on one of the gaming state of the ordinary high probability state and the ordinary low probability state, separately from the above-described special figure high probability state and special figure low probability state. In the ordinary low probability state, the normal variation game is determined to be elected with a relatively low predetermined low probability, and in the general diagram high probability state, the ordinary variation game is determined to be a winning with a relatively high predetermined high probability. . As will be described in detail later, the ordinary high probability state is not only easier to win the floating figure game than the ordinary low probability state. Includes at least one of the following: Easy to increase the number of times the electric chew is released due to one-time wins, easy to shorten the fluctuation time of special charts, and tend to shorten the fluctuation time of ordinary charts It is prescribed as follows. Note that the short time means that it is easy to win a game with a variable number of times, and that the opening time of an electric chew due to a single winning of a normal signal tends to be long. It is a state that includes at least one of the following: the number of times the electric chew is released due to the winning of the regular figure, the fluctuation time of the special figure tends to be short, and the fluctuation time of the common figure tends to be short In this embodiment, it is always easy to win a common figure variable game if the time is short, but it is not always necessary to win a common figure variable game in the short time. If it is determined in step S2003 that the time reduction flag is set to OFF, the normal drawing hit determination is performed from the normal table low probability determination table (step S2004). Conversely, if the time reduction flag is set to ON, A hit determination is made from the normal high probability determination table (step S2005).

  In both step S2004 and step S2005, first, a normal winning random number value is acquired from a random number storage area for normal use provided in the RAM 308, and a hit determination is performed on the acquired normal winning random number value. In the random number value storage area for ordinary use provided in the RAM 308, the winning random number value for ordinary use is stored in step S1304 in the winning acceptance process for the ordinary figure starting port 124 shown in FIG. In step S2004 and step S2005, the winning random number value for normal use is acquired, a hit determination is performed using the determination table shown in FIG. 13, and the process proceeds to step S2006.

  FIG. 13A is a diagram showing a determination table for ordinary low probability stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300, and FIG. 13B is stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300. It is a figure which shows the determination table for usual high probability.

  Both the determination table for ordinary low probability shown in FIG. 13A and the determination table for ordinary high probability shown in FIG. Fluctuation time (unit: second), number of times of opening of the pair of blade members 1281 shown in FIG. 2 (number of times of normal drawing), and time of opening of the pair of blade members 1281 in one time of opening (normal time opening time (unit) ; S))). In the determination of the normal figure low probability state in step S2004, it is determined that the acquired common random number for random use value is 0 to 126, it is determined to be out of the range. On the other hand, in the determination of the common figure high probability state in step S2005, if the acquired common figure winning random number value is 0 to 126, it is determined to be a win, and if the common figure winning random number value is 127, it is determined to be out. . The winning here means winning of the ordinary variable game, and the pair of blade members 1281 shown in FIG. 2 is opened. The pair of blade members 1281 shown does not open. As described above, when the pair of blade members 1281 shown in FIG. 2 is closed, it is impossible to win the second special figure starting port 128, and the pair of blade members 1281 open and close a predetermined number of times at predetermined time intervals. For the first time, winning in the second special figure starting port 128 becomes possible.

  Here, the numerical value range that can be taken by the random number value in the normal figure is 0 to 127 (the numerical value range is 128). As shown in FIG. Is 127 (the size of the numerical range is 1), so that the winning probability of the usual figure variable game based on the winning at the usual figure starting opening 124 in the usual figure low probability state is 1/128 (= about 0.8). %). On the other hand, since the numerical range hit in the normal high probability state is 0 to 126 (the numerical range is 127), the winning probability of the general variable game is 127/128 (= about 99.128). 2%). Therefore, the second special figure starting port 128 in the normal high probability state is in a winning easy state relatively easy to win, and the second special figure starting port 128 in the normal low probability state is It is difficult to win a prize. In other words, the region where the second start opening sensation through which the winning ball passes through the second special figure starting opening 128 is in a state where it is easy for the game ball to pass relatively easily in the case of a normal high probability state. Therefore, it can be said that the game ball is in a difficult-to-pass state where it is relatively difficult for the game ball to pass through in the normal low probability state.

  In step S2006, it is determined whether or not the common figure variable game is won. In the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, a flag for a normal figure and an off-normal flag are prepared, and if the normal figure variable game is won, one flag for a normal figure is set (step S2007). Then, the process proceeds to step S2009, and if the normal figure variable game is not selected, the other normal figure off flag is set (step S2008), and the process proceeds to step S2009.

  In step S2009, similarly to step S2003, it is determined again whether or not the time reduction flag is set to OFF. If the time reduction flag is set to OFF, the normal time variation time is determined from the normal table low probability determination table (step S2010). Conversely, if the time reduction flag is set to ON, the normal figure high probability is set. The normal variation time is determined from the determination table (step S2011). In both step S2010 and step S2011, first, a normal winning random number value is obtained from the random number storage area for ordinary use provided in the RAM 308, and the determination table shown in FIG. Use this to determine the normal time of change. In the determination of the normal figure low probability state in step S2010, the fluctuation time of the normal figure variable game is determined to be 10 seconds regardless of whether the acquired winning random number value for normal figure is 0 to 126 or 127. On the other hand, in the determination of the ordinary high probability state in step S2011, the variation time of the ordinary variable game is determined to be 3 seconds regardless of whether the acquired winning random number value for ordinary maps is 0 to 126 or 127. Therefore, the fluctuation time of the ordinary figure variable game is shorter in the normal figure high probability state than in the ordinary figure low probability state.

  Subsequently, the normal time change time corresponding to the determination result is set in the normal time change time storage area provided in the RAM 308, and is also set in the above-mentioned normal time symbol display symbol update timer (step S2012), and the process proceeds to step S2013. .

  In step S2013, it is determined whether or not the common figure flag described in step S2007 is set. If the common figure flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S2022 to be described later, and the common figure flag is set. If so, the process proceeds to step S2014.

  In step S2014, similarly to step S2003, it is determined again whether or not the time reduction flag is set to off. If the time reduction flag is set to off, the number of times of opening the map is determined from the determination table for normal low probability. On the contrary, if the time flag is set to ON, the number of times of normal map release is determined from the general high probability determination table (step S2016). In both step S2015 and step S2016, first, a normal winning random number value is obtained from the random number value storage area for ordinary use provided in the RAM 308, and the determination table shown in FIG. The number of opening times of the pair of blade members 1281 shown in FIG. In the determination of the normal figure low probability state in step S2015, if the acquired common figure winning random number value is 0 to 126, it means that the figure is out of the normal figure variable game as described above, and there is no value for the normal figure release number (0 times). ) And the pair of blade members 1281 will not open. On the other hand, if the acquired winning random number value for the normal map is 127, it means that the normal game variable game has been won as described above, and the number of times the normal map is released is determined to be one, and the pair of blade members 1281 is opened only once. become. Further, in the determination of the normal figure high probability state in step S2016, if the acquired random number value for the normal figure is 0 to 126, it means that the normal figure variable game is won as described above, and the normal figure release number is 3 times. Determination is made, and the pair of blade members 1281 is opened three times. On the other hand, if the acquired random number value for the common figure is 127, it means that the figure is out of the ordinary figure variable game as described above, and the number of times the figure is released is determined to be no value (0 times), and the pair of blade members 1281 It will not open. Therefore, the pair of blade members 1281 is opened twice more in the case of winning the normal figure variable game in the normal figure high probability state than in the case of winning the normal figure variable game in the normal figure low probability state. .

  Subsequently, the number of times of opening the map according to the determination result is set in the setting area provided in the RAM 308 (step S2017), and it is determined again whether or not the time reduction flag is set to OFF in the same manner as in step S2003. However, if the time reduction flag is set to OFF, the normal figure release time is determined from the normal table low probability determination table (step S2019). On the contrary, the time reduction flag is set to ON. If so, the normal map opening time is determined from the general table high probability determination table (step S2020). In both step S2019 and step S2020, a normal winning random number value is acquired in the same manner as before, and the acquired normal winning random number value is equivalent to the open time using the determination table shown in FIG. The opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members 1281 is determined. In the determination of the normal figure low probability state in step S2019, if the acquired universal random number value for universal drawing is 0 to 126, it is determined that the universal figure release time is no value (0 seconds), In the case of 127, it is determined that the normal map opening time is 0.3 seconds, and the pair of blade members 1281 are opened for 0.3 seconds. Further, in the determination of the normal figure high probability state in step S2020, if the acquired common figure winning random number value is 0 to 126, the normal figure release time is determined to be 1.8 seconds, and the pair of blade members 1281 is once. It will open for 1.8 seconds per release. On the other hand, if the winning random number for normal use is 127, it is determined that there is no value (0 seconds) for the normal release time. Accordingly, the time for opening the pair of blade members 1281 in the case of winning the normal figure variable game in the normal figure high probability state is larger than in the case of winning the normal figure variable game in the low figure probability state. Is 1.5 seconds longer.

  Subsequently, the base map release time corresponding to the determination result is set in the setting area provided in the RAM 308 (step S2021), and the number of hold of the base map variable game stored in the base chart hold number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is set. Is decremented by one (step S2022). Subsequently, the common winning random number value is deleted from the random number value storage area for the normal map provided in the RAM 308 (step S2023), and finally, the setting for the normal variable display is performed in the setting area of the RAM 308 (step S2024). ), The process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the normal time fluctuation time when winning the normal time is a fixed value (value shown in the table of FIG. 13), but is not limited to this. A lottery may be selected so as to select any of the fluctuation times. The same applies to the number of times of opening the map and the time of opening the map.

  Here, time reduction will be described. Time reduction means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the jackpot in the special figure variable game to the start of the next jackpot. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the hour / hour flag is used, and when the hour / hour flag is set to ON, it is usually in a high probability state. In the ordinary high-probability gaming state, as described with reference to FIG. 13, the variation time of the ordinary-variable gaming is shorter in the ordinary high-probability state than in the ordinary low-probability state. Further, in the normal high probability state, the opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members 1281 shown in FIG. 2 is likely to be longer than in the normal low probability state. Further, the pair of blade members 1281 are more likely to open in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. It should be noted that in the normal figure high probability state, a short special figure variation timer may be more likely to be selected than in the normal figure low probability state.

  Further, the time reduction 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 jackpot game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a jackpot game, a large number of games will be placed in the second special figure starting port 128 during the jackpot game until a predetermined number of game balls enter the variable winning slot 130. There is a problem that a ball enters and the number of game balls that can be acquired during the jackpot increases, resulting in an increase in euphoria. This is to solve this problem.

  Furthermore, the state flag is kept on during the probability variation. Therefore, the normal high probability state is maintained during the probability fluctuation.

<Special drawing related lottery processing>
Next, the special drawing 2 related lottery processing in step S215 in the main control unit timer interruption processing shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of the special figure 2 related lottery process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300. A combination of the special figure 2 related lottery process shown in FIG. 14 and the main control unit 300 for executing the special figure 1 related lottery process shown in FIG.

  First, in step S2101, in the special figure 1 related lottery process shown in FIG. 17, the setting in the special figure 1 variable display set in the setting area of the RAM 308 in step S2226, and the step in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. In the special figure 1 state update process of S214, a determination is made regarding the setting during stop display set in the setting area of the RAM 308. That is, in step S2101, the setting area of the RAM 308 is referred to determine whether the first special figure display device 198 is displaying special figure 1 fluctuation display or stopped display. If YES, the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  In step S2102, the setting in the special figure 2 variable display set in the setting area of the RAM 308 in step S2126, which will be described later, and the special figure 2 state update process in step S213 in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. A determination is made regarding the setting during stop display set in the setting area. In this step S2102, the setting area of the RAM 308 is referred to determine whether the second special figure display device 114 is in the special figure 2 variable display or in the stop display, and any one of the displays is in progress. If there is, the process returns to the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. 7. If none of the displays is displayed, it is determined whether or not special figure 2 is operating or special figure 1 is operating (step S2103). . As described above, in the special figure 2 state update process (step S213) in the main control unit timer interrupt process of FIG. 7, the special area 2 in operation or the special figure 2 inactive is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. Further, in the special figure 1 state update process (step S214) in the main controller timer interrupt process of FIG. 7, special figure 1 in operation or special figure 1 inactive is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. In step S2103, the setting area of the RAM 308 is referred to determine whether the special figure 2 operation is set or whether the special figure 1 operation is set. Returning to the main control unit timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. In step S2101 to step S2103 described above, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 variable game based on winning a prize until the special figure 2 variable game and special figure 1 variable game based on winning first are finished. Hold on. On the other hand, if there is no setting during special figure 2 operation or special figure 1 operation, this time, referring to the special figure 2 holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308, the holding number of special figure 2 variable game is It is determined whether it is greater than 0 (step S2104). That is, it is determined whether or not the number of the special figure 2 variable games on hold is 1 or more, and if it is 0, the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the number of the special figure 2 variable games on hold is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S2105. In step S2105, the special figure 2 winning random number value is acquired from the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, and the special figure 2 winning random number value is lottery lottery. In the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, the special figure 2 winning random number value, which is a hardware random number value, is stored in step S1204 in the winning acceptance process for the second special figure starting port 128 shown in FIG. In this step S2105, the special figure 2 winning random number value is acquired, and using the hit determination table shown in FIG. 15A, the special figure 2 winning random number value is drawn for the special figure 2 winning random number value, and the process proceeds to step S2106. move on. If the suspension is described more accurately, the main control unit 300 ends the special figure 2 variable game and the special figure 1 variable game based on the winning first, and stores it in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer. Until the set stop period elapses, the special figure 2 variable game based on winning later is put on hold.

  FIG. 15A is a diagram showing a hit determination table stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment has a special low probability state with a relatively low probability of winning a jackpot after the special figure 2 variable game or after the special figure 1 variable game ends, and a relatively high special characteristic. One of the high probability states shown in FIG. The special figure high probability state is called during probability fluctuation. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a probability variation flag described later. When the probability fluctuation glag is set to ON, a special figure high probability state (during probability fluctuation) is set, and when the probability fluctuation glag is set to OFF, a special figure low probability state is set.

  The hit determination table shown in FIG. 15A is a determination table used in common in both the special figure 2 related lottery process and the special figure 1 related lottery process. This hit determination table defines the relationship between the gaming state (special figure low probability state, special figure high probability state) and special figure starting port lottery data. The special drawing start lottery data includes big lottery data and small lottery data.

  In the win determination in step S2105, the probability fluctuation flag prepared in the RAM 308 is referred to. When the punch machine 100 is in the special figure low probability state, the obtained special figure 2 winning random number value is 10001 to 10187. If it belongs to the numerical range (size is 187), it is determined that the jackpot is won. If it belongs to the numerical range of 20001 to 21092 (size is 1092), it is determined that the jackpot is won, If it does not belong to the numerical range, it is determined that it has been won. In this embodiment, the numerical range that can be taken by the special figure 2 winning random value is 0 to 65535 (the numerical range is 65536), and the numerical range that the special figure 1 winning random value can take is the same as this numerical range. is there. Therefore, the winning probability of the jackpot of the special figure variable game in the special figure low probability state is about 1/350 (= 187/65536). On the other hand, the numerical value range indicated by the jackpot lottery data in the special figure high probability state is 3000-31092 (the numerical range size is 1092), and the winning probability of the special figure variable game jackpot in the special figure high probability state Is approximately 1/60 (= 1092/65536). Therefore, the jackpot winning probability in the special figure variable game is set to be higher in the special figure high probability state than in the special figure low probability state.

  In addition, the winning probability per unit for the special figure variable game is about 1/60 (= 1092/65536) regardless of whether the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state. The winning probability for the jackpot is the same as the winning probability for the jackpot in the special figure high probability state.

  Note that a winning determination table used in the special figure 2 related lottery process and a winning determination table used in the special figure 1 related lottery process may be provided separately.

  In step S2106, it is determined whether or not a win has been won. If a win has been won, the process proceeds to step S2118 described below. On the other hand, if it is unfair to win, it is determined whether or not a small hit is won (step S2107). If winning a small hit, obtain a random number value for the special figure 2 small hits lottery from the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, and based on the acquired random number value for the special figure 2 small hits symbol lottery, The small winning stop symbol to be displayed on the second special figure display device 114 is determined (step S2108). In this step S2108, the special figure determination table at the time of winning the small win shown in FIG. 15B is used.

  FIG. 15B is a diagram showing a special figure determination table at the time of winning a small hit stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The special figure determination table shown in FIG. 15B is a determination table that is commonly used in both the special figure 2 related lottery process and the special figure 1 related lottery process. This special figure determination table at the time of winning the small hits defines the relationship between the gaming state (special figure low probability state, special figure high probability state) and lottery data for small hit stop symbols. In the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, there are two types of small hits, the first small hit and the second small hit, and the profit amount to be given to the player is the same regardless of which small hit. However, the aspect of the effect displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110 is different. The lottery data for the small hitting stop symbol of the special symbol determination table at the time of winning the small hitting includes lottery data of the first small hitting stop symbol and lottery data of the second small hitting stop symbol.

  In step S2108, the probability fluctuation flag prepared in the RAM 308 is referred to. When the punch machine 100 is in the special figure low probability state, the obtained special figure 2 small hit symbol random number value is 0 to 63. If it belongs to the numerical value range (size is 64), it is determined as the first small hit symbol of the special figure E shown in FIG. 5A, and the first small hit flag prepared in the RAM 308 is set to ON. On the other hand, if the random number value for the special figure 2 small hitting symbol lottery belongs to the numerical value range (size is 64) of 64 to 127, it is determined as the second small hitting symbol of the special figure F shown in FIG. Similarly, the second small hit flag prepared in the RAM 308 is set to ON. In the present embodiment, the numerical value range that can be taken by the special figure 2 small lottery random value for symbol lottery is 0 to 127 (the size of the numerical value range is 128). In addition, the numerical value range which the special figure 1 small hits lottery random number value can take is also 0 to 127 (the numerical value range is 128). Therefore, in the special figure low probability state, the determination probability of the first small hit symbol and the determination probability of the second small hit symbol are the same (50%). On the other hand, in the special figure high probability state, the numerical range indicated by the lottery data of the first small hit stop symbol is 0 to 95 (the numerical range is 96), and the lottery data of the second small hit stop symbol. The numerical range indicated by is 96 to 127 (the size of the numerical range is 32). Therefore, in the special figure high probability state, the determination probability (75%) of the first small hit symbol is higher than the determination probability (25%) of the second small hit symbol.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2107 that even the small hit is unreasonable, the big hit flag prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is set to ON (step S2109). If the jackpot flag is set to ON, the jackpot game is started after the special figure 2 variable game is finished.

  Subsequently, the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random number value is acquired from the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, and the number of rounds is drawn for the obtained special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random value (step S2110). ). In the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, the random number value for the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery that is a software random number value is also stored in step S1204 in the winning acceptance process for the second special figure starting port 128 shown in FIG. Is done. In this step S2110, the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random number value is acquired, and the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random number value is selected using the round number determination table at the time of jackpot winning shown in FIG. It is determined whether it belongs to the numerical range of the number of rounds, and the process proceeds to step S2111.

  FIG. 15C is a diagram showing a round number determination table when winning a big hit, stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  When a big win is won in the special figure variable game, the door member 1301 that opens and closes the variable winning opening 130 opens and closes a predetermined number of times. 15 rounds (R) and 2 rounds (R) are prepared as the number of times the door member 1301 is opened and closed (number of rounds). The round number determination table shown in FIG. 15C defines the relationship between the gaming state (special figure low probability state, special figure high probability state) and round number determination lottery data for each special figure 1 and special figure 2. It is a thing. This round number determination lottery data includes 15R determination lottery data and 2R determination lottery data.

  In step S2110, regardless of the gaming state, if the acquired random number for special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery belongs to the numerical range of 0 to 126 (size is 127), it is determined to 15R, and 15R jackpot is won. It will be. In addition, if the special figure 2 big hit symbol lottery random value is 128 (the numerical range is 1), it is determined to be 2R, and the 2R big hit is won. In the present embodiment, the numerical value range that can be taken by the special figure 2 jackpot symbol random number value is 0 to 127 (the numerical value range is 128). Therefore, in the special figure 2 variable game, when winning the jackpot, it is possible to obtain a jackpot of 15R with a high probability. On the other hand, in the special figure 1 variable game, the numerical value range indicated by the lottery data for 15R determination is 0 to 99 (the numerical value range is 100), and the numerical value range indicated by the lottery data for 2R determination is 100. 127 (the size of the numerical range is 28). Since the numerical value range that can be taken by the random number for the special figure 1 jackpot symbol lottery is also 0 to 127 (the size of the numerical range is 128), in the special figure 2 variable game than in the special figure 1 variable game Winning a jackpot will have a higher probability of winning an advantageous number of rounds (15R). In this way, the big win in Special Figure 2 is more likely to be drawn than the big win in Special Figure 1 so that an advantageous big win can be easily selected during the short time immediately after the big win. Therefore, a lump of balls can be created. And, by drawing the special figure 2 variable game lottery over the special figure 1 variable game lottery, it is possible to make it difficult for the special figure 1 variable game lottery to be performed during the time. An advantageous jackpot is easily selected.

  In step S2111, it is determined whether or not a 15R jackpot is won. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a 2R jackpot flag and a 15R jackpot flag. If the 15R jackpot is won, one of the 15R jackpot flags is set to ON (step S2112), and step S2114 is performed. If the 2R jackpot is won, the other 2R jackpot flag is set to ON (step S2113), and the process proceeds to step S2114.

  In step S2114, the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random number value is acquired again from the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, and probability variation lottery is performed for the acquired special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random value. Here, the special figure 2 jackpot symbol random number value used in the lottery of the number of rounds in step S2110 is used, but the special figure 2 winning random number value used in the jackpot determination in step S2105 may be used. In this step S2114, the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random number value is acquired, and the probability variation lottery is drawn using the special figure high probability state transition determination table shown in FIG. 15D, and the process proceeds to step S2115.

  FIG. 15D is a diagram showing a special figure high probability state transition determination table at the time of winning the jackpot, which is stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The special figure high probability state transition determination table shown in FIG. 15D defines lottery data for transitioning the gaming state for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. This lottery data for game state transition includes lottery data for special figure high probability state transition and lottery data for special figure low probability state transition.

  In step S2114, regardless of the current gaming state, if the acquired special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random value is 128 (the numerical range is 1), the special figure high will be displayed after the special figure 2 variable game is over. You will win the transition to the probability state (probability fluctuation) and win the special jackpot game. On the other hand, if the special figure 2 big hit symbol random number value belongs to the numerical range of 0 to 126 (size is 127), the special figure high probability state is entered after the special figure 2 variable game is finished ( It is a win-win game, not a win-win game and a special jackpot game. Further, in the special figure 1 variable game, the numerical range indicated by the lottery data for the special figure high probability state transition is 64 to 127 (the numerical range is 64), and the numerical value indicated by the lottery data for the special figure low probability state transition. The range is 0 to 63 (the size of the numerical range is 64). As described above, both the special figure 2 jackpot symbol lottery random value and the special figure 1 jackpot symbol lottery random value can have a numerical range of 0 to 127 (the numeric range is 128). Special Figure 1 floating games are more likely to win special jackpots than floating games.

  In step S2115, it is determined whether or not the probability variation has been won. If the probability variation is unreasonable (special jackpot game is unsuccessful), the process proceeds to step S2117, and the probability change is won (winning the special jackpot game). For example, the above-described probability variation flag prepared in the RAM 308 is set to ON (step S2116), and the process proceeds to step S2117. Here, the gaming state is between a special figure low probability state corresponding to an example of the first gaming state according to the present invention and a special figure high probability state corresponding to an example of the second gaming state according to the present invention. Summarize the timing of switching. As described above, when the probability variation flag is ON at the same time as the end of the jackpot game, the main control unit 300 draws the special figure 1 variable game lottery in the special figure high probability state maintenance count storage unit provided in the RAM 308. The number of maintenance times 100, which is the sum of the number of times and the special drawing 2 floating game, is set, and the state shifts to the special figure high probability state. On the other hand, simultaneously with the end of the special figure variable game, the main control unit 300 subtracts 1 from the maintenance number stored in the special figure high probability state maintenance number storage unit provided in the RAM 308, and the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0. If it becomes, the probability variation flag is turned off and the special figure low probability state is entered. Therefore, the main control unit 300 that performs these processes corresponds to an example of the gaming state switching unit according to the present invention.

  In step S2117, based on the 2R jackpot flag, the 15R jackpot flag, and the probability variation flag, a stop symbol to be displayed on the second special figure display device 114 is determined, and the process proceeds to step S2118. That is, when the 15R jackpot flag is on and the probability variation flag is also on, the stop symbol to be displayed on the second special chart display device 114 is determined as the special chart A shown in FIG. 5A, and the 15R jackpot flag is on. When the probability variation flag is off, the special figure B is determined. When the 2R jackpot flag is on, the probability variation flag is also determined as the special figure C. The 2R jackpot flag is on and the probability variation flag is off. In this case, the special figure D is determined, and when both the 15R jackpot flag and the 2R jackpot flag are off, the special figure G is determined.

  In step S2118, a timer number is determined and stored using the special figure 2 winning random number value used for the jackpot determination in step S2105 described above. The timer number is a number indicating the fluctuation time from the start of the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 by the second special figure display device 114 or the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 by the first special figure display device 198 to the stop display. It is. In this step S2118, the special figure 2 winning random number value is acquired again from the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, and the timer number is determined using the timer number determination table shown in FIG.

  FIG. 16A is a diagram showing a timer number determination table stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The timer number determination table shown in FIG. 16A is a determination table that is commonly used in both the special figure 2 related lottery process and the special figure 1 related lottery process. The timer number determination table includes a 15R jackpot flag set in step S2113, a 2R jackpot flag set in step S2112, a first jackpot flag and a second jackpot flag set in step S2108, a timer The relationship between the number and the variation time corresponding to the timer number and the lottery data for determining the timer number used for the lottery for determining the timer number is defined. In the timer number determination table, a variation form corresponding to the timer number is shown for reference. This variation form is determined by the sub-control unit 400 according to the timer number, and an effect display according to the variation form is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110 during the variation time.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, in this embodiment, five types of timer numbers from timer 1 to timer 5 are prepared. First, the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 refers to the setting status of each of the 15R big hit flag, 2R big hit flag, first small hit flag, and second small hit flag, and the possible numerical range is 0 to 65535 (the numerical range The timer number is determined depending on which timer number determination lottery data belongs to the numerical range of the lottery data for determining the timer number.

  When the 15R jackpot flag is set to ON, that is, when the 15R special jackpot or 15R jackpot, the timer number of the timer 4 or 5 is set, and the variation time becomes long (40 seconds or 50 seconds). Also in the state where the first small hit flag is set to ON (in the case of the first small hit), the timer number of the timer 4 is obtained and the variation time becomes long (40 seconds). Accordingly, the “Special Figure A” which is the 15R special jackpot symbol, the “Special Figure B” which is the 15R jackpot symbol, and the “Special Figure E” which is the first jackpot symbol shown in FIG. The fluctuation time in the symbol fluctuation stop display (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a specific symbol fluctuation stop display) becomes longer. This specific symbol variation stop display is the last symbol variation stop display when the symbol variation stop display is continued a plurality of times, and the variation time in the last symbol variation stop display is long. As a result, the climax is excited and the production effect is further enhanced. In addition, in the last symbol change stop display, those advance notices and false advance notices will be made for players who know from the strategy book etc. that details such as advance notices and false advance notices described later will be made. As a result, it is detected that the game state will be shifted soon, and the expectation for the game is further increased. Here, when the symbol variation stop display is continued a plurality of times, the symbol variation stop display in the previous symbol variation stop display (hereinafter, referred to as the previous symbol variation stop display) The advance notice (preliminary notice and false advance notice) is sometimes referred to as advance notice (continuous notice) in the continuous symbol fluctuation stop display. Further, in the case of the first small hit, since the fluctuation time is surely long, the advance notice or the false advance notice can be performed once or a plurality of times during the long fluctuation time.

  Furthermore, in the state where the 2R jackpot flag is set (in the case of 2R special jackpot) and in the state where the second jackpot flag is set (in the case of the second jackpot), the timer number of the timer 1 is surely set. And the fluctuation of the pattern is definitely short (5 seconds). For this reason, a player who knows from a strategy book etc. that the change time of the symbol will be shortened in the case of the 2R special jackpot, the short symbol change in the case of the second bonus will cause the 2R special jackpot to be expected. 2R special jackpot will be camouflaged. In both cases of 2R special big hit and second small hit, if the timer number of timer 4 or 5 is set and the fluctuation time is made long, advance notice or false advance notice becomes possible during the long fluctuation time. For players, the advance notice and the false advance notice are indistinguishable, and even if the false advance notice ends and ends with a small hit, the player will be in a probability fluctuation state (special figure high probability state) due to the 2R special jackpot. With the expectation that it may be, you can enjoy the game.

  A timer number storage area is prepared in the RAM 308, and the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 stores the determined timer number in the timer number storage area. Further, the fluctuation time corresponding to the timer number is also stored in the above-mentioned special figure 2 display symbol update timer as the special figure 2 fluctuation display time.

  The lottery of timer numbers may be performed in the winning acceptance process shown in FIG.

  In step S2119 executed subsequent to step S2118, the pseudo-continuous timer number is determined and stored in the RAM 308 using the special figure 2 winning random number as in step S2118. In this step S2119, the pseudo continuous timer number is determined using the pseudo continuous timer number determination table shown in FIG. The pseudo continuous timer number is included in the symbol variation start command and is sent from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400. The pseudo continuous notice (pseudo train) described here is a pseudo train determined by the main control unit 300. In addition, you may determine that the sub control part 400 performs a pseudo-continuous production.

  FIG. 16B is a diagram showing a pseudo continuous timer number determination table stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The pseudo continuous timer number determination table shown in FIG. 16B is also a determination table that is commonly used in both the special figure 2 related lottery process and the special figure 1 related lottery process. This pseudo-ream timer number determination table includes lottery data for determining a pseudo-ream timer number provided in accordance with the timer number determined in step S2118, a pseudo-ream timer number, and a variable time corresponding to the pseudo-ream timer number. , And the relationship with the number of pseudo-continuations. The lottery data for determining the pseudo-continuous timer number includes a set of timer numbers corresponding to a relatively short variation time of timers 1 to 3 and timer numbers corresponding to relatively long variation times of timers 4 and 5. Divided into groups. When the pseudo-continuous advance notice (pseudo-run) described here is executed, the symbol of the temporary stop is inserted before the variation mode is performed, separately from the variation mode (reach mode) shown in FIG. Changes appear, and the player seems to have more symbol changes than the actual number of symbol changes. For example, when the timer number 4 is determined in the previous step S2118 and the special figure 2 winning random number value is 51200, the pseudo continuous timer number becomes the pseudo continuous timer 4, the variation time is 15 seconds, and the pseudo continuous time is 3 times. Become. In the decorative symbol display device 110 shown in FIG. 2, a fluctuation display of 15 seconds, which is the fluctuation time, is performed. In the fluctuation display of 15 seconds, a temporary stop is performed three times every about 5 seconds, and then a timer is displayed. The change display of the symbol corresponding to the number 4 is continuously performed, and finally the stop display is performed.

  In the special figure 2 related lottery process shown in FIG. 14, subsequently, various types of information are additionally stored in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 (step S <b> 2120). Specifically, 1H is additionally stored as transmission information (command type) in the transmission information storage area in order to execute the general command rotation start setting transmission process in the command setting transmission process (step S217). Also, special figure identification information indicating that the symbol for starting the variable display is special figure 2 is additionally stored. Furthermore, information on which the 2R jackpot flag, 15R jackpot flag, first jackpot flag, or second jackpot flag is set, information on which the probability variation flag is set, information on the above timer number, Information on the continuous timer number is additionally stored.

  In step S2121, which is executed subsequent to step S2120, the probability variation flag is referenced to determine whether or not the current gaming state is a special figure high probability state. 9 is added to the transmission information storage area (information indicating the stop pattern of the first special figure display device 198 for each hold) in the special figure high probability state pre-determined information storage area shown in FIG. At the same time, information on the entire special determination high-probability state pre-determined information storage area of FIG. 2 shown in FIG. ). On the other hand, in the case of the special figure low probability state, the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 stores information on the entire special judgment low probability state pre-determined information storage area shown in FIG. 9 is added, and information on the predetermined information storage area for the special figure low probability state of the special figure 2 shown in FIG. 9 (second special figure display device for each hold) 114 (information indicating the stop symbol) is also added (step S2123). In step S2122, the information on the entire special determination information storage area for the special figure 1 high probability state and the information on the entire special determination information storage area for the special figure 1 low probability state are added in step S2123. This is because there may be a notice for the lottery result shown in FIG. 9 may be added to the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 in place of the information in the prior determination information storage area shown in FIG. However, since the random number value is included in the information in the holding information storage area, the data capacity is 1 byte or more (in this embodiment, the special figure 1 winning random value and the special figure 2 winning random value having a numerical range of 65536 are included. Therefore, the data capacity of these random values is 2 bytes). On the other hand, the data capacity of the stop symbol information in the pre-determination information storage area is less than 1 byte (in this embodiment, the special diagram shown in FIG. Therefore, the information to be added to the transmission information storage area is preferably information in the prior determination information storage area from the viewpoint of reducing the processing load of the CPU 404 of the transmission destination sub-control unit 400 and saving the capacity of the RAM 408 of the sub-control unit 400. Further, in a configuration in which information is output to another control unit, the number of commands may be reduced.

  Next, in step S2124, the special figure 2 variable game hold number stored in the special figure 2 hold number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is decremented by one, and the flow advances to step S2125.

  In step S2125, the special figure 2 winning random number value, the special figure 2 small hit symbol random number value, and the special figure 2 big hit symbol random number value are deleted from the second random number value storage area of the RAM 308, and the process proceeds to step S2126. move on.

  In step S2126, the setting for special figure 2 fluctuation display is performed in the setting area of the RAM 308, and the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the special drawing 2 acquired in S1204 of FIG. 10 includes the round lottery at the time of jackpot winning, the special drawing high probability state transition lottery at the jackpot winning, the lottery of timer numbers, and the lottery of pseudo-ream timer numbers. The random number value for jackpot symbol lottery was used, but random numbers acquired using a dedicated soft random number counter may be used.

  Next, the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S216 in FIG. 7) executed following the special figure 2 related lottery process will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of the special figure 1 related lottery process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300. In each step from step S2201 to step S2226 shown in FIG. 17, “first” in each step from step S2101 to step S2126 shown in FIG. Since the steps are the same as those read as “FIG. 2”, only step S2222 and step S2223 will be described here, and description of other steps will be omitted. In step S2222 executed when the current gaming state is a special figure high probability state, the special information high probability state pre-determined information storage area of special figure 1 shown in FIG. The entire information (information indicating the stop symbol of the first special figure display device 198 for each hold) is added. On the other hand, in step S2223 executed when the current gaming state is the special figure low probability state, the transmission information storage area includes the whole special judgment low probability state pre-determined information storage area of FIG. 1 shown in FIG. (Information indicating the stop symbol of the first special figure display device 198 for each hold) is added. In these steps S2222 and S2223, information related to the special figure 2 is not added. This is because the special drawing 1 related lottery process has been started because there was no special figure 2 variable game on hold at the time of the start, and the influence of the change in the game state is affected by the special figure 2 variable game. This is because no hold is received. In the present embodiment, the lottery in FIG. 2 is prioritized over the lottery in FIG. 1. However, the lottery is not limited to this. For example, the first special diagram start port 126 and the second special diagram start port 128 are used. A lottery may be performed in the order of winning first, or a lottery may be performed in the order of winning in the first special figure starting port 126 and the second special figure starting port 128 later. A lottery may be independently performed on the second special figure starting port 128. In this case, it is better to add information about the special figure 2 also in the processing of step S2222 and step S2223.

<Sub control section main processing>
Next, the sub control unit main process executed by the CPU 404 of the sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main process of the sub control unit.

  The sub-control unit 400 is provided with a reset signal output circuit that outputs a reset signal when the power is turned on. The CPU 404 of the basic circuit 402 to which this reset signal has been input starts reset by a reset interrupt and executes the sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 18A according to the control program stored in the ROM 406 in advance. Initialize the. In this initialization, initial setting of input / output ports, initialization of a continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408 described later, initialization of various variables, and the like are performed.

  In step S302, command input processing (details will be described later) is performed.

  In step S303, it is determined whether the value of a timer variable storage area described later is 10 or more. When the value of the timer variable storage area is 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S304, and when the value of the timer variable storage area is less than 10, the process returns to step S302.

  In step S304, 0 is stored in the timer variable storage area.

  In step S305, effect data update processing is performed. In this effect data update processing, the variation number stored in the variation pattern selection processing, which will be described later, the combination of temporary stop symbols, and the type of stop symbol combination are updated, and the process since the start of variation display of the decorative symbols Based on the time, the operation control data for controlling effects by the decorative display device 110, the shielding means 250, the speaker 416, the various lamps 420, the effect movable body of the effect device 200, and the like is updated.

  In step S305, a command to be output to the decorative symbol display control unit 500 (for example, a command for instructing to stop the decorative 7 on the left or a shield so that the decorative symbol variation display is performed in the manner indicated by the determined effect information. A command for operating the means 250) is stored in a liquid crystal command storage area provided in the RAM 408, etc. Prepare to control the movable body. In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a lottery such as whether or not to execute a predetermined effect, for example, whether or not to perform an effect using a chance button is performed.

  In step S306, a decorative symbol display device control process is performed. In this decorative symbol display device control process, a command is output to the decorative symbol display control unit 500 via the output port of the I / O 410. Here, the display data to be output to the decorative symbol display control unit 500 included in the decorative symbol display control information prepared in step S305 is set in the output port of the I / O 410, and the display control of the decorative symbol display device 110 is performed. The decorative symbol display control unit 500 is caused to perform this.

  In step S307, sound output processing is performed. In this sound output process, the audio data to be output to the speaker 416 included in the speaker control information prepared in step S305 is set in the output port of the I / O 410, and the sound source IC 418 performs output control of the speaker 416.

  In step S308, lamp control processing is performed. In this lamp control process, data indicating lighting / extinguishing of lamps to be output to various lamps 420 included in the various lamp control information prepared in step S305 is set in the output port of the I / O 410, and various lamps 420 are set. The display circuit 422 is controlled to turn on and off.

  In step S309, an effect driving device control process is performed. In this effect drive control process, data indicating the operation timing included in the control information for the effect movable body prepared in step S305 is set in the output port of the I / O 410, and the effect movable object and the like are set. The production drive circuit 426 controls the various production drive devices 424 to be driven.

  Sub-control unit 400 repeatedly executes the processes of steps S302 to S304 thereafter, except for interruption by strobe processing, chance button processing, or sub-control unit timer interrupt processing described later.

<Command input processing>
Next, the command input process (step S302) in the sub-control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of command input processing.

  A command storage area is provided in the RAM 408 mounted in the basic circuit 402 in the sub-control unit 400 shown in FIG. In step S217 in the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 7, the sub control unit 400 performs various commands transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400 by performing a strobe interrupt process described later. Stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area. The command storage area stores a symbol variation start command, a symbol variation stop command, a RAM clear command, and a special symbol pending increase command. In step S401 shown in FIG. 18B, the contents of the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 are confirmed, and it is determined whether or not an unprocessed command remains. If an unprocessed command remains in the command storage area, the process proceeds to step S402. If an unprocessed command does not remain in the command storage area, the process ends and returns to the sub-control unit main process. .

  In step S402, the process jumps to a process corresponding to the unprocessed command whose existence was affirmed in step S401. Hereinafter, some of the processes corresponding to the unprocessed commands will be described in detail.

  FIG. 18C is a flowchart showing the flow of the variation pattern selection process. The variation pattern selection process shown in FIG. 18C is executed when the symbol variation start command is an unprocessed command. In step S501 here, effect data selection processing is executed. The effect data selection process will be described later in detail.

  FIG. 18D is a flowchart showing the flow of the symbol stop process. The symbol stop process shown in FIG. 18D is executed when the symbol variation stop command is an unprocessed command. In step S601 here, the three decorative symbols constituting the combination of the stopped symbols stored in the symbol storage area prepared in the RAM 408 are displayed in the left, middle, and right symbol display areas 110a to 110c of the decorative symbol display device 110. The setting is made to display in the three display areas, and the process ends.

  Furthermore, there are other processes based on unprocessed commands. For example, a round start command that is output from the main control unit 300 every time the opening control of the variable winning opening 130 is started during the jackpot and includes information indicating the number of opening of the variable winning opening 130 after the jackpot start is an unprocessed command. For example, a round start process performed in some cases. In this round start process, information indicating the number of times the variable winning opening 130 is released after the jackpot start included in the unprocessed command is extracted and stored in the storage area of the RAM 408. Other processing is omitted here.

<Strobe interrupt processing>
Next, strobe interrupt processing of the sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of strobe interrupt processing.

  This strobe interrupt process is a process executed when the sub control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. That is, as described above, the strobe signal is included as strobe information in the command transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. In the command setting transmission process (step S217) of the main control unit timer interrupt process shown in FIG. When a command is transmitted from the control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400 and the sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal in the transmitted command, this strobe interrupt process is executed. In step S701 of the strobe interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

<Chance button interrupt processing>
Next, the chance button interrupt process of the sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of chance button interrupt processing.

  This chance button interruption process is a process executed when the sub control unit 400 detects an operation of the chance button 146 by the chance button detection circuit 364.

  In step S801 of the chance button interrupt process, a value is acquired from the detection counter stored in the detection counter storage area of the RAM 408 for measuring the number of times the chance button 146 is pressed, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Store in the original detection counter storage area.

<Variable update interrupt processing>
Next, variable update interrupt processing executed by the CPU 404 of the sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of variable update interrupt processing.

  The sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and this sub-control unit timer interrupt processing is performed at a predetermined cycle. Run with.

  In step S901 of the variable update interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 18A and the original timer variable storage area is stored. To do. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  Next, the effect data selection process (S501) in the variation pattern selection process shown in FIG.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of effect data selection processing.

  First, the flow until the variation pattern selection process is started will be described. In step S2120 in the special figure 2 related lottery process shown in FIG. 14 and step S2220 in the special figure 1 related lottery process shown in FIG. 17, the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 starts changing in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308. Is stored as transmission information (command type). If the gaming state is the special figure high probability state, in step S2122 or step S2222, the transmission information storage area stores information on the entire special figure high probability state pre-determined information storage area shown in FIG. If the gaming state is a special figure low probability state, in step S2123 or step S2223, in the transmission information storage area, prior judgment for the special figure low probability state shown in FIG. Information on the entire information storage area (information indicating a stop symbol for each hold) is additionally stored. Subsequently, the general command rotation start setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S217) in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. By doing so, a symbol variation start command having a command type of 1H is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400. This symbol fluctuation start command includes information on 15R jackpot flag value, 2R jackpot flag value, small hit flag value, loss flag value, special figure probability fluctuation flag value, timer number, and pseudo-continuous timer number information. include. In addition, the symbol variation start command includes information on the entire pre-determined information storage area for the special figure high probability state if the game state at the time of executing the special figure 1 or special figure 2 lottery process is the special figure high probability state. If the gaming state is a special figure low probability state, information on the entire special figure low probability state pre-determined information storage area is included. As described above, the transition from the special figure low probability state to the special figure high probability state is at the end of the jackpot game, and the transition from the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state is special figure 1 variable game or special figure. At the end of the two-variable game. Therefore, after the special drawing 1 or special drawing 2 related lottery process is executed, the sub control unit 400 receives the symbol fluctuation start command and executes this fluctuation pattern selection process. The game state is not changed between the game state and the special figure low probability state, and the game state of the variation pattern selection process execution special is the same as the game state at the time of executing the special figure 1 or special figure 2 related lottery process . When the symbol variation start command is output from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400, prior determination information is selected according to the gaming state (steps S2121 to S2123 shown in FIG. 14 and steps S2221 to S2223 shown in FIG. 17). By doing so, it is possible to output the preliminary determination information with a simple control structure.

  When the sub-control unit 400 stores the symbol variation start command as an unprocessed command in the strobe process shown in FIG. 18E (step S701), the command input process (S402) shown in FIG. The variation pattern selection process is started. The variation pattern selection process is performed immediately before the start of symbol variation.

  In step S5011 of the effect data selection process shown in FIG. 19, a notice effect lottery process is performed. This notice effect lottery process will be described later. In step S5012 executed subsequent to step S5011, the sub-control unit 400 acquires the value of the random number for variation determination, and then refers to a variation number selection table (not shown) stored in the ROM 406 and acquires the variation. The value of the random number for determination and the value of the 15R jackpot flag, the value of the 2R jackpot flag, the value of the jackpot flag, the value of the lose flag, the special figure probability variation flag included in the symbol variation start command which is an unprocessed command The effect data is selected based on the value, the timer number, and the pseudo-continuous timer number, and the selected effect data is stored in the storage area provided in the RAM 408. The effect data here is a variation number.

  Next, in step S5013, the sub-control unit 400 obtains the symbol determination random number value, and then refers to a symbol determination table (not shown) stored in the ROM 406 to determine the symbol determination random number value, and Based on the variation number selected in step S5012, the type of combination of decorative symbols to be stopped by the decorative symbol display device 110 is determined. That is, the decorative symbols to be stopped in the left, middle, and right symbol display areas 110a to 110 of the decorative symbol display device 110 are determined, and the process returns to the variation pattern selection process shown in FIG.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the flow of the notice effect lottery process shown in FIG.

  The notice effect lottery process shown in FIG. 19 is one of the fluctuation pattern selection processes shown in FIG. It starts when this happens. In other words, the notice effect lottery process is performed immediately before the start of symbol variation.

  The RAM 408 of the sub-control unit 400 is provided with a continuous notice execution storage unit.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408 of the sub-control unit 400.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the continuous notice execution storage unit is divided into eight areas including a special figure 1 variable game hold number and a special figure 2 variable game hold number, and each area has a hold number. It is attached. This hold number represents the order in which the hold is digested, and the hold is digested in order from the hold number 1. Each area stores execution information and non-execution information related to notice notification. Details of the advance notice will be described later. Non-execution information is stored in all the eight areas in the continuous notice execution storage unit shown in FIG. 21, and non-execution information is indicated by x in FIG.

  In step S5011a shown in FIG. 20, it is determined whether or not there is an area in which the execution information is stored in the continuous notice execution storage unit. As a result, when there is no area in which execution information is stored as in the continuous notice execution storage unit shown in FIG. 21, the process proceeds to step S5011b.

  In step S5011b, the information on the entire special determination high probability state pre-determined information storage area shown in FIG. 9 (information indicating the stop symbol for each hold) or the same included in the symbol variation start command transmitted this time. In the information on the entire pre-determined information storage area for the special figure low probability state shown in the figure (information indicating the stop figure for each hold), the information on the stop symbol for the 15R special jackpot of the special figure A shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is included. That is, it is determined whether there is a 15R special jackpot within the hold. If information on the stop symbol for 15R special jackpot is included, the lottery for notice notification based on the hold will be performed using the hit system notice lottery table shown in FIG. 22, and information on the stop symbol for 15R special jackpot must be included. For example, the lottery of the notice notification based on the hold is performed using the lose-type notice lottery table shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, whether or not the notice lottery table of 15R special jackpot is included as a criterion for determining which notice lottery table of the notice lottery table shown in FIG. 22 or the notice lottery table shown in FIG. 23 is used. The decision criterion includes whether or not the 15R special jackpot stop symbol information is included in addition to the 15R special jackpot stop symbol information, or the 2R special jackpot stop symbol information or 2R jackpot stop symbol information may also be used as a criterion.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a winning system advance notice lottery table, and FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a lose system advance notice lottery table.

  The winning system advance notice lottery table shown in FIG. 22 shows the number of times until the symbol variation stop display (specific symbol variation stop display) for stopping and displaying the 15R special jackpot symbol including the current symbol variation stop display, that is, the suspension of the variation. The lottery data for notice notification is specified for each number of holdings (1 to 8 times) up to 15R special jackpot. Also, the loser-type notice lottery table shown in FIG. 23 is a lottery for notice notification for each remaining number of symbol determinations at the time of the lottery, that is, for each number of holds (1 to 8 times) at the time of the lottery including the change hold. Data is specified. In any of the advance notice lottery tables, a winning number corresponding to the advance notice lottery data is shown. In the winning lottery data, characters (princess, daughter, niece, lord) to be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110 at the time of notification of notice are associated with each other. Note that the lottery data for the loss is indicated as lost because no character appears.

  In the winning system advance notice lottery table shown in FIG. 22, when the number of holds is 1, no notice is notified, but when the number of holds is 2 or more, the probability of winning in making the notice is higher. The higher the probability of winning a losing without notice, the higher the number of holds, the higher the winning probability. The notice notice executed by winning the notice notice lottery using the winning notice lottery table is an effect that suggests to the player that the result of the special figure variable game will be the lottery result of the 15R special jackpot. This corresponds to an example of the advance notice according to the present invention.

  On the other hand, even in the lose-type notice lottery table shown in FIG. 23, when the number of holds is 1, the notice is not given, and even when the number of holds is 2 or more, the probability of winning a lose without notice notice This is higher than the probability of winning when the notice notification is made, and the greater the number of holds, the higher the probability of losing. The notice notice executed by winning the notice notice lottery using this lose-type notice lottery table is an effect that makes the player expect that the result of the special figure variable game will be the lottery result of 15R special jackpot. This corresponds to an example of the advance notice according to the present invention. However, the notice notification using the loser notice lottery table is different from the notice notice using the hit notice notice lottery table, and the result of the special figure variable game is not the lottery result of the 15R special jackpot. However, it is not possible to distinguish between the notice using the lose-type notice lottery table and the notice notice using the winning-type notice lottery table, and the player is notified using the lose-type notice lottery table. However, the player expects that the result of the special figure variable game will be the lottery result of 15R special jackpot. Here, if the notice notification using the lose-type notice lottery table is frequently performed, the reliability of the notice notice using the hit-type notice lottery table is suspected by the player. Therefore, in the lose-type notice lottery table shown in FIG. 23, it is difficult to win the notice notification lottery. By the way, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), when the lottery result of 15R special jackpot is obtained in the special figure high probability state, the gaming state shifts from the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state (probability fall) In some cases, the lottery result of the 15R special jackpot will not be achieved. However, if the notice notice continues as it is, the notice notice will not be the result of the 15R special jackpot if the notice notice change is continued as it is, there is a risk that notice notice will be frequently performed. Even if the execution frequency of the notice notification using the lottery table is suppressed, it becomes meaningless. The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment has an object to eliminate such inconvenience.

  In the RAM 408 of the sub-control unit 400, a notice lottery random number counter is prepared. The notice lottery random number value generated by the notice lottery random number counter can take a numerical value range of 0 to 65535. The RAM 408 of the sub control unit 400 is also provided with a hold information storage area. This hold information storage area is for the sub-control unit 400 to count the number of hold of the current special figure variable game separately from the main control unit 300. When the hold increases, the special control hold increase command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400 through steps S1105 and S1106 and steps S1205 and S1206 of the winning acceptance process shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. come. When the special figure hold increase command is transmitted, the sub-control unit 400 adds one count value of the number of holds in the hold information storage area. In step S5011c, the sub-control unit 400 acquires the notice lottery random number value, refers to the hold information storage area of the RAM 408, and determines the notice lottery random number value and the current hold number from the winning notice lottery table shown in FIG. Based on, select the winning number. When winning the notice notification lottery using the winning notice lottery table, any one of the winning numbers 51 to 78 is selected, and when the notice notice lottery is lost, the winning number is selected. 100 is selected. Also in step S5011d, the sub-control unit 400 obtains the preliminary lottery random value and refers to the holding information storage area of the RAM 408. Here, the preliminary lottery random value and the current The winning number is selected based on the number of holds. If a lottery for notice notification is won using the loser notice lottery table, any one of the winning numbers 1 to 28 is selected, and if the lottery for notice notice is lost, here too A winning number 100 is selected. The winning number selected as described above becomes the lottery result in step S5011c or the lottery result in step S5011d.

  Subsequently, in step S5011e, notice data based on the lottery result (winning number) in the previous lottery process (steps S5011c and S5011d) is set in the continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408.

  FIG. 24A is a diagram illustrating a notice determination table stored in the ROM 406 of the sub-control unit 400.

  In the notice determination table shown in FIG. 24A, the relationship between the winning number and the notice data is defined. As shown in FIG. 24 (a), the notice data corresponding to one winning number is divided into eight areas including the number of reserved special figure 1 variable games and the number of reserved special figure 2 variable games, Each area has a reserved number. This hold number represents the order in which the hold is digested, and the hold is digested in order from the hold number 1. In each area, non-execution information or execution information is prepared. The non-execution information is information that no notice notification is performed without causing a character as a notice notification to appear on the decorative symbol display device 110, and there is no character ("-" is displayed in FIG. 24A). The same applies to the figure). On the other hand, the execution information includes information (a character name is displayed in FIG. 24A) that causes the decorative symbol display device 110 to make a character (princess, daughter, niece, lord) appear in the notice information when the notice is notified. There are two types of information: standby information (standby and display in FIG. 24A). Character execution information of the respective notice data corresponding to the winning numbers 1 to 28 (partial winning numbers are displayed in FIG. 24A) selected in the lottery using the loser notice lottery table is prepared. This standby information is prepared in the area of the next holding number after the largest holding number (the holding number of the remaining symbol determination number). On the other hand, this standby information is prepared for each notice data corresponding to the winning numbers 51 to 78 (partial winning numbers are displayed in FIG. 24A) selected in the lottery using the winning notice lottery table. It has not been. The standby information here is information that the character as the notice of notice is not allowed to appear on the decorative symbol display device 110, but is included in the execution information. In the determination in step S5501a, the continuous notice provided in the RAM 408 is included. If the standby information is stored in the execution storage unit, it is determined that there is an area in which the execution information is stored, and the process proceeds to step S5011b. Here, in the case where the notice notification is won using the loser-type notice lottery table, if the standby execution information is not provided, for example, after the notice notice that the character “Tono” appears is performed three times. When the stop symbol of the loss is displayed, and further, the notice notification that the character “Tono” appears is performed three times again, the notice notification that the character “Tono” appears appears six times continuously. It seems to have been. For this reason, standby execution information is provided as in the winning numbers 1 to 28, and the fourth notice notification is forcibly performed after the notice notice is performed three times and the losing stop symbol is displayed. First, let the notice notification that the character of “Tono” appears once end. In addition, when winning a notice by using the winning system notice lottery table, a special jackpot of 15R is sandwiched, so it is not considered that the notice notice that the character of “Tono” appeared has been performed six times in succession, and waiting. No execution information is required. The notice determination table in the case of winning the first jackpot (for example, the 15R jackpot) does not include the “standby” information, and the second jackpot (for example, 2R) having a shorter time during the jackpot than the first jackpot. The information on “standby” may be included in the notice determination table in the case of winning the jackpot).

  FIG. 24B is a diagram showing a continuous notice execution storage unit in which notice data based on the winning number 3 is set in step S5011e.

  The continuous notice execution storage unit shown in FIG. 24B is in a state where the remaining number of symbol determinations is three. In the area of the reservation number 1, “princess” is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110 when the notice is notified. Execution information (hereinafter referred to as “Princess” execution information) is stored, and the execution information of “Princess” is also stored in the areas of the holding numbers 2 and 3. Yes. In the area of the hold number 4, standby execution information is stored. Therefore, when the notice of the “princess” character appears in the middle of the symbol change stop display based on the third last hold, and there is a subsequent hold (corresponding to the fourth hold) In the symbol variation stop display based on the hold, the advance notice is not forcibly performed. Non-execution information is stored in the area after the hold number 5.

  The RAM 408 of the sub-control unit 400 is provided with a winning continuous notice execution flag. In step S5011f executed following step S5011e, it is determined whether or not a lottery for notice notification has been performed using the winning system notice lottery table shown in FIG. 22, and if the winning system notice lottery table is used, The winning continuous notice execution flag is set to ON (step S5011g), and the process proceeds to step S5011h. On the other hand, when the lottery for notice notification is performed using the lose-type notice lottery table shown in FIG. 23, the process directly proceeds to step S5011h.

  In step S5011h, a notice effect is set based on information in the continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408. For example, based on the information of the hold number 1 in the continuous notice execution storage unit shown in FIG. 24B, the notice information that the “princess” character appears is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 408. . The notice notification information set here is included in the command, the command is output to the decorative symbol display control unit 500 (step S306 shown in FIG. 18A), and the notice notification is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110. The Therefore, the decorative symbol display device 110 corresponds to an example of a notice notification unit according to the present invention.

  Subsequently, the count value of the number of holds in the hold information storage area provided in the RAM 408 is decremented by 1 (step S5011i). Next, the information stored in each area of the continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408 is shifted to the area where the left hold number is one less, and the information stored in the hold number 1 area is cleared. (Step S5011j). For example, in the continuous notice execution storage unit shown in FIG. 24B, the execution information of “Princess” stored in the area of the holding number 1 is cleared, and the “Princess” stored in the area of the holding number 2 is cleared. The execution information is shifted to the hold number 1 area, and the execution information of “princess” stored in the hold number 3 area is shifted to the hold number 2 area. Further, the standby execution information stored in the area of the hold number 4 is shifted to the area of the hold number 3. When step S5011j is executed, the process returns to the effect data selection process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5011a shown in FIG. 20 that there is an area in which the execution information is stored in the continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408, the winning consecutive notice execution flag is set to ON. It is determined whether or not (step S5011m). As described above, if the standby execution information is not stored in the continuous notice execution storage unit provided in the RAM 408 and the character execution information is stored, the notice notification is made using the winning system notice lottery table. A lottery was done. For this reason, instead of determining whether or not the winning continuous notice execution flag is set to ON, it may be determined whether or not standby execution information is stored in the continuous notice execution storage unit.

  If the winning continuous notice execution flag is not set to ON, there is no 15R special big hit already in the hold, and the process proceeds to step S5011h. On the other hand, if the winning consecutive notice execution flag is set to ON, as in the previous step S5011b, the special figure high probability shown in FIG. Information on the entire state pre-determined information storage area (information indicating the stop pattern for each hold) or information on the entire pre-determined information storage area for the special figure low probability state shown in the figure (information indicating the stop pattern for each hold) ), It is determined whether or not the information of the stop symbol for the 15R special jackpot of the special figure A shown in FIG. 5A is included (step S5011n). If 15R special jackpot stop symbol information is included, the gaming state has not shifted from the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state, and the process proceeds to step S5011h. On the other hand, if the stop symbol information for the 15R special jackpot is not included, the gaming state has shifted from the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state (probable change fall). Since the jackpot stop symbol will not be displayed, the notice notification is stopped. That is, all the execution information stored in each area of the continuous notice execution storage unit of the RAM 408 is cleared (step S5011p), and the winning continuous notice execution flag set to ON is also cleared (step S5011q). The process proceeds to step S5011h.

  The sub-control unit 400 that executes the notice effect lottery process described above corresponds to an example of a notice notification determination unit according to the present invention. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 300 and the sub-control for performing the advance notice are made by making a preliminary determination corresponding to a plurality of gaming states in advance in the winning acceptance process shown in FIGS. In some cases, the processing load of the unit 400 can be distributed.

  Next, an example of notice notification in the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of winning order fluctuation when the special figure high probability state is maintained.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25, the pachinko machine 100 maintains a special figure high probability state, and the decorative symbol display device 110 displays “probably changing” indicating that it is in a special figure high probability state. Yes. In addition, the decorative symbol display device 110 shown in FIG. 25A displays the stop of the decoration 2-decoration 3-decoration 4 corresponding to the loss of the decorative symbol. All of the special figure display devices 114 stop displaying the lost symbols of the special figure G shown in FIG. Further, the special figure 1 hold lamp 199 displays that the number of the special figure 1 variable game being held is one, and the special figure 2 hold lamp 118 indicates that the special figure 2 variable game being held is It shows no. In addition, FIG. 25A shows a continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 provided in the RAM 408 of the sub-control unit 400, an example of which is shown in FIG. Non-execution information is stored in each area of the holding numbers 1 to 8 in the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), based on the suspension of the special figure 1 variable game, the first special figure display device 198 starts the variable display of the special figure 1, and the sub-control unit 400 includes the main control unit 400. A symbol variation start command is transmitted from the controller 300. FIG. 25B shows information 408H of the entire special determination high probability state pre-determining information storage area included in the symbol variation start command transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400. Yes. This information 408H is divided into eight areas, the left four areas are areas related to the special figure 1 variable game hold, and the right four areas are the special figure 2 variable game hold areas. In the area related to the suspension of special figure 1 variable game, information representing the stop symbols of the first special figure display device 198 is stored in order from the left area in accordance with the winning order. In the same manner, the information indicating the stop symbols of the second special figure display device 114 is stored in order from the left area in accordance with the winning order. Here, the information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol of the special figure A shown in FIG. 5A is indicated by a circle, and information other than the information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol (the other special figure shown in FIG. 5A) (Including information representing the symbols of the special drawings B to G) is represented by an x mark (the same applies to the following drawings). In any area of the information 408H shown in FIG. 25 (b), information represented by a cross is stored, and information representing a 15R special jackpot symbol represented by a circle is not stored. For this reason, lottery for notice notification using the lose-type notice lottery table of FIG. 23 in step S5011d shown in FIG. 20 is performed, and notice data based on the lose and winning number 100 is stored in the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081. Set. FIG. 25 (b) shows a continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 in which notice data based on the winning number 100 is set in this way. In each area of the holding numbers 1 to 8, notice notice non-execution information is shown. Stored. As a result, the advance notice is not executed. In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special symbol 1 variable game is started.

  In FIG. 25 (c) in which the decorative symbols related to the special figure 1 variable game are being displayed, there are two winnings at the first special figure starting port 126 and there is one winning at the second special figure starting port 128. The number of special figure floating games will be held three times. Eventually, the decorative symbol display device 110 displays a combination of stop symbols representing the result of the special figure 1 variable game lottery (see FIG. 25D). Here, the combination of the decoration pattern of decoration 4-decoration 3-decoration 2 corresponding to the loss is stopped and displayed. Further, the first special figure display device 198 displays the lost symbol of the special figure G shown in FIG.

  Next, when the special figure 2 variable game is given priority over the special figure 1 variable game, the second special figure display device 114 starts the variable display of the special figure 2 as shown in FIG. At the same time, a symbol variation start command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub-control unit 400 again. This information 408H is also information of the entire special determination high-probability state determination information storage area. In addition, information 408H illustrated in FIG. 25E includes information representing a 15R special jackpot symbol. In other words, a circle is displayed in the area representing the result of the pre-determination (step S1108 shown in FIG. 8) of the stop symbol of the first special figure display device 198 based on the second winning at the first special figure starting port 126. Has been. For this reason, the lottery of the notice notification using the hit system notice lottery table of FIG. 22 in step S5011c shown in FIG. 20 is performed. In the notice lottery here, the lottery is held based on the number of holdings up to 15R special jackpot including the holding of the symbol change stop display this time, and the lottery is won (winning number 55). The winning continuous notice execution flag is set ON, and notice data based on the winning number 55 is set in the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081. FIG. 25 (e) shows a continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 in which notice data based on the winning number 55 is set in this way, and the execution information of “princess” is stored in each area of the holding numbers 1 to 3. ing. In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special symbol 2 variable game is started, the princess character appears, and a balloon “Atari” is displayed for the first notice. Is executed (FIG. 25 (f)). The advance notice here is for the lottery result of the special figure 1 variable game based on the winning of the first special figure starting port 126 for the second time. In other words, it is a notice for the random number value acquired based on the winning of the first special figure starting port 126 for the second time. In this way, in a pachinko machine that draws a plurality of random values in a predetermined order, it is possible to increase the degree of expectation for a specific symbol variation in advance by performing a notice for a random value that has not been drawn.

  In addition, when information for performing the first notice in step S5011h shown in FIG. 20 is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 408, the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. The information stored in each area is shifted to the area where the left hold number is one less (step S5011j). In the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. The execution information of “Princess” is stored in the area. Subsequently, the decorative symbol display device 110 displays a combination of stop symbols representing the result of the special figure 2 variable game lottery (see FIG. 25G). Here, the combination of the decorative pattern of decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 2 corresponding to the loss is stopped and displayed. Further, the second special figure display device 114 displays the lost symbol of the special figure G shown in FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25 (h), the first special figure display device 198 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 and the symbol fluctuation start command is again transmitted from the main control part 300 to the sub-control part 400. It will be. This information 408H is also information of the entire special determination high-probability state determination information storage area. The information 408H shown in FIG. 25 (h) also includes information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol. In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special symbol 1 variable game is started, the princess character appears, and a balloon “Atari” is displayed for the second notice. Is executed (FIG. 25 (i)). Also in this case, the information stored in each area of the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. 25 (h) is shifted to the area where the left hold number is one less (step S5011j), and FIG. In the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. 9, execution information of “princess” is stored only in the area of the holding number 1 out of the 8 areas. Eventually, the decorative symbol display device 110 displays a combination of stop symbols representing the result of the special figure 1 variable game lottery (see FIG. 25J). Also here, the combination of the decorative pattern of decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 2 corresponding to the loss is stopped and displayed. Further, the first special figure display device 198 displays the lost symbol of the special figure G shown in FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25 (k), the first special figure display device 198 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 1, and a symbol fluctuation start command is again transmitted from the main control part 300 to the sub-control part 400. Come. This information 408H is also information of the entire special determination high-probability state determination information storage area. The information 408H shown in FIG. 25 (k) also includes information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol. It should be noted that there were two special figure 1 variable games on hold at the timing of transmitting the symbol fluctuation start command including the information 408H shown in FIG. At the timing when the symbol variation start command including the information 408H shown in FIG. (K) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400, one special figure 1 variable game hold has been consumed, so that there is one remaining hold. In the information 408H shown in k), the area storing the information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol is shifted to the left by one. In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special figure 1 variable game is started, and the princess character appears and a balloon “Atari” is displayed. Is executed (FIG. 25 (k)). Also in this case, the information stored in each area of the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. 25 (j) is shifted to the area where the left hold number is one less (step S5011j), and FIG. The execution information is missing from the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. Then, the decorative symbol display device 110 displays a combination of stop symbols indicating the result of the special figure 1 variable game lottery (see FIG. 25 (m)). Here, the combination of the decoration pattern of decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3 corresponding to the 15R special jackpot is stopped and displayed. The first special figure display device 198 displays the 15R special jackpot symbol of special figure A shown in FIG.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of winning order fluctuation when a probability change fall occurs in the middle.

  Hereinafter, the difference from the example shown in FIG. 25 will be mainly described. First, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the pachinko machine 100 is in a special figure high probability state, and the decorative symbol display device 110 shown in FIGS. 26 (a) to 26 (g) has a special figure high probability state. The message “Probably changing” is displayed. However, simultaneously with the end of the special figure 2 variable game from FIG. 26 (e) to FIG. 26 (g), the number of maintenance stored in the special figure high probability state maintenance number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 becomes 0, Transition from a special figure high probability state to a special figure low probability state. That is, the probability falls. As a result, the information on the entire prior determination information storage area included in the symbol variation start command transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the sub control unit 400 is the information on the entire prior determination information storage area for the special figure low probability state. This information 408L does not include information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol (see FIG. 26H). Therefore, in the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. 26 (h), the execution information of “princess” is cleared (step S5011p shown in FIG. 20). The winning continuous notice execution flag is also cleared (step S5011q). In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special symbol 1 variable game is started, but the notice notification is not executed (FIG. 26 (i)). As described above, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the notice notification is stopped when the probability falls, and the notice notice that the result of the special figure variable game does not become the lottery result of the 15R special jackpot is prevented from being frequently performed. . As a result, the frequency of the notice notification using the hit system notice lottery table and the frequency of the notice notice using the lose system notice lottery table are balanced, while maintaining the reliability of the notice notice using the hit system notice lottery table, There is a case where a player's expectation is enhanced by execution of the notice notification using the lose-type notice lottery table, and the interest of the game is improved. In addition, in order to predict a change in the game state, it is not necessary to acquire the prior determination information while grasping the number of lotteries for the special figure variable game, so that the processing load may be reduced. In particular, in the case of a pachinko machine having a plurality of special charts as in this embodiment, since the fluctuation of special figure 2 interrupts the fluctuation of special figure 1, even if the number of lotteries is grasped, the future gaming state May not be predicted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 26 (k), the first special figure display device 198 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 1, and a symbol fluctuation start command is also transmitted from the main control part 300 to the sub-control part 400. Come. This information 408L is also information on the entire special determination low-probability state preliminary determination information storage area. The information 408L shown in FIG. 26 (k) also does not include information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol. Here, since the execution information of the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 is cleared in FIG. 26 (h), the notice notice lottery (step S5011d shown in FIG. 20) is performed, and this change including the suspension of the change is performed. Since the number of holds at the time of lottery (the number of remaining symbols determined) is one, the lottery is lost, and notice data based on the winning number 100 is set in the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081. FIG. 26 (k) shows the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 in which the notice data based on the winning number 100 is set in this way. In each area of the holding numbers 1 to 8, notice notice non-execution information is shown. Stored. As a result, the notice notification is not executed here either, and in FIG. 26 (m), the decoration symbol display device 110 displays the result of the lottery of the special figure 1 variable game. The combination of 3 decorative symbols is stopped and displayed. Further, the first special figure display device 198 displays the lost symbol of the special figure G shown in FIG.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an example of winning order fluctuation when the special figure low probability state is shifted to the special figure high probability state on the way.

  Hereinafter, the difference from the example shown in FIG. 25 will be mainly described. First, in the example shown in FIG. 27, the pachinko machine 100 is in a special figure low probability state, and the decorative symbol display device 110 shown in FIGS. There is no indication of “probably changing”.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (e), the second special figure display device 114 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 2, and a symbol fluctuation start command is transmitted from the main control part 300 to the sub-control part 400. The information on the entire prior determination information storage area included in the symbol variation start command is information 408L of the entire prior determination information storage area for the special figure low probability state. In addition, information 408L illustrated in FIG. 27E includes information representing a 15R special jackpot symbol. In other words, a circle is shown in the region representing the result of the stop symbol pre-determination (step S1208 shown in FIG. 10) of the second special figure display device 114 based on the winning at the second special figure starting port 128. . For this reason, the lottery of the notice notification using the hit system notice lottery table of FIG. 22 in step S5011c shown in FIG. 20 is performed. In the notice lottery here, the lottery is performed based on the fact that the number of holdings up to the 15R special jackpot including the holding of the current symbol variation stop display is one. Since the number of holds is one time, the lottery here is set to lose (winning number 100), the winning continuous notice execution flag is set on, and the notice data based on the winning number 100 is stored in the continuous notice execution storage section. 4081 is set. FIG. 27E shows a continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 in which notice data based on the winning number 100 is set in this way, and non-execution information is stored in the areas of the holding numbers 1 to 8. . In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special symbol 2 variable game is started, but the notice notification is not performed, and as shown in FIG. 27 (f), A combination of decorative patterns of decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3 corresponding to the 15R special jackpot is stopped and displayed. The second special figure display device 114 displays the 15R special jackpot symbol of special figure A shown in FIG. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 27 (g), the jackpot effect is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 110, and the jackpot game is started. Simultaneously with the end of the jackpot game, the gaming state shifts from the special figure low probability state to the special figure high probability state. As a result, the decorative symbol display device 110 shown in FIGS. 27 (h) to (m) displays “probably changing” indicating the high probability state of the special figure.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 27 (h), the first special figure display device 198 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 1, and a symbol fluctuation start command is again transmitted from the main control part 300 to the sub-control part 400. It will be. The information 408H is information on the entire special determination high-priority state determination information storage area. Information that was not information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol in the special chart low probability state becomes information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol when the gaming state becomes the special chart high probability state, and the information shown in FIG. 27 (h) 408H includes information representing a 15R special jackpot symbol. In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special symbol 1 variable game is started, and a princess character appears and a balloon “Atari” is displayed. Is executed (FIG. 27 (i)). Also, the information stored in each area of the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown in FIG. 27 (h) is shifted to the area where the left holding number is one less (step S5011j), and the information shown in FIG. In the continuous notice execution storage unit 4081 shown, the execution information of “princess” is stored only in the area of the holding number 1 out of the 8 areas.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 27 (k), the first special figure display device 198 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 1, and a symbol fluctuation start command is again transmitted from the main control part 300 to the sub-control part 400. Come. This information 408H is also information of the entire special determination high-probability state determination information storage area. The information 408H shown in FIG. 27 (k) also includes information representing the 15R special jackpot symbol. In the decorative symbol display device 110, in response to the symbol variation start command, the variation display of the decorative symbol relating to the special figure 1 variable game is started, the princess character appears, and the balloon “Atari” is displayed for the second notice. Is executed (FIG. 27 (k)). Eventually, as shown in FIG. 27 (m), the combination of the decoration pattern of decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3 corresponding to the 15R special jackpot is stopped and displayed. The first special figure display device 198 displays the 15R special jackpot symbol of special figure A shown in FIG.

  Next, the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment will be described. In the following description, differences from the pachinko machine 100 of the first embodiment described so far will be mainly described, and overlapping description may be omitted. Further, components having the same names as the components described so far will be described with the same reference numerals as those used so far.

  In the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, in step S5011b and step S5011n in the notice effect lottery process shown in FIG. 20, it is determined whether or not there is a 15R special jackpot with a short time within the hold. For this reason, in this second embodiment, in addition to the gaming state such as the special figure high probability state and the special figure low probability state, the gaming state such as the ordinary figure high probability state and the ordinary figure low probability state is also taken into consideration, and the notice notification Decide on execution. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the first embodiment, simultaneously with the end of the big hit game, the time-saving number 100 is set in the time-saving number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 and the time-saving flag provided in the RAM 308 is turned on. That is, regardless of the big hit of 15R special jackpot, 15R big jackpot, 2R special jackpot, or 2R big jackpot, the normal figure high probability state corresponding to the number of special drawing lottery times is 100 at the same time as the jackpot game ends. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment, any of the above jackpots does not become the normal high probability state at the same time as the end of the big hit game. (Whether the number of time reductions is 0 or 100) is determined by lottery at the time of winning the jackpot.

  FIG. 28A is a diagram showing a time-saving lottery table after the jackpot is stored, which is stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The short time lottery table shown in FIG. 28A is a determination table that is commonly used in both the special figure 2 related lottery process and the special figure 1 related lottery process. This short time lottery table specifies the relationship between the special figure high probability state and special figure low probability state, the combination of the normal figure high probability state and the normal figure low probability state, and the lottery data for determining the short time number It is. In the special figure 2 lottery process (S215) and the special figure 1 lottery process (S216) shown in FIG. 7, the random number value for the special figure 2 big hit symbol lottery or the special figure 1 big hit symbol lottery is used by using the short-time lottery table. Based on the random number value, lottery times are selected. As described above, both the special figure 2 jackpot symbol random number value and the special figure 1 jackpot symbol lottery random value range from 0 to 127 (the size of the numeric range is 128). If the gaming state is a special figure high probability state and a normal figure high probability state, the special figure high probability state (with time reduction) for the number of special figure lottery times 100 is always made simultaneously with the end of the jackpot game. On the other hand, if the gaming state at the time of the lottery is a special figure low probability state and a typical figure low probability state, the probability of a special figure lottery for the number of special drawing lottery times of 100 at the same time as the end of the jackpot game is 50%. It will be in a state (with time reduction), but on the other hand, with a 50% probability, it will not become a normal high probability state at the same time as the jackpot game ends (the number of time reductions is 0). In addition, if the game state at the time of the lottery is a special figure high probability state and a normal figure low probability state, the special figure lottery number of 100 special figure lottery times (with a short time) will be set simultaneously with the end of the jackpot game. The probability of not being in a high probability state is usually higher than the probability of On the other hand, if the gaming state at the time of the lottery is the special figure low probability state and the normal figure high probability state, the probability that the common figure high probability state will not be reached at the end of the jackpot game (the number of times shortened is 0) is as follows: There is a higher probability of a normal figure high probability state (with time reduction) for 100 special drawing lots.

  Here, although lottery is performed, a fixed value of the number of time reductions is determined in advance for each combination of the special figure high probability state and the special figure low probability state and the ordinary figure high probability state and the ordinary figure low probability state. Also good. Further, the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 may have different lottery random numbers for determining the number of times of time reduction. Also, the number of time reductions corresponding to a specific special figure stop pattern may be different for each combination of the special figure high probability state and the special figure low probability state and the ordinary figure high probability state and the ordinary figure low probability state. .

  In addition, lottery data for determining the number of time reductions in the time reduction number lottery table shown in FIG. In the winning acceptance process shown in FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 big hit symbol random number value acquired in step S1103 belongs to the lottery data for determining the number of short times. Further, in the winning acceptance process shown in FIG. 10, it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 jackpot symbol random number value acquired in step S1203 belongs to the lottery data for determining the number of short times.

  FIG. 28B is a diagram illustrating a pre-determination information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 in the second embodiment.

  In each of the embodiments described so far, the stop symbol of the first special figure display device 198 is determined in advance in the winning acceptance process shown in FIG. 8, and the second special figure display device in the winning acceptance process shown in FIG. 114 stop symbols are pre-determined, but instead of these pre-determinations, a pre-determination is made as to whether or not to make a pre-notification, and pre-notification is made in the pre-determination information storage area shown in FIG. Whether information is stored, and in the notice effect extraction process shown in FIG. 20, notification is made according to the game state at the time of execution of the process, which is the same as the game state at the time of execution of the special drawing 1 or special figure 2 related lottery process It may be determined (steps S5011c and S5011d shown in FIG. 20).

  In addition to the 15R special jackpot and 2R special jackpot, a 6R special jackpot will be provided and a notice will be given to the 6R special jackpot. The present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine having a configuration in which a 15R special jackpot is changed to a 6R special jackpot when the notice is notified and the probability falls.

  As described above, the embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine (bullet ball game machine) has been described in detail. However, the game table of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a medal or a game ball (pachinko ball) The present invention can also be applied to a spinning machine (slot machine) using. Further, the present invention may be applied to an arrange ball game machine, a ball ball game machine, and a pinball machine. In addition, the present invention is a gaming machine (for example, a casino machine, a video game machine, an encapsulated pachinko gaming machine) that can be played with the input of gaming media, and a gaming machine that uses the gaming media itself for gaming (for example, It may be applied to a medal dropping game machine). Here, “inserting game media” means “betting”, and “bet” is also agreed. “Input of game media” includes “input of currency” and “input of electronic money”. A casino machine is a casino in which a game can be started by inserting a currency, and when a lottery result is won, a symbol set in association with the corresponding selection result is stopped, and a payout as a bonus to a player is performed. Machine. The slot machine is provided corresponding to each of the plurality of reels having a plurality of types of symbols, a start switch for starting rotation of the plurality of reels, and the rotation of the reels. A combination of a stop switch for stopping individually, a lottery means for determining whether or not an internal winning of a plurality of types of winning combinations is determined by lottery, and a combination of symbols displayed by the plurality of reels at the time of stoppage are made by the lottery means It may further comprise determination means for determining whether or not the winning combination is determined based on whether or not the winning combination has been won.

  In addition, the main control unit 300 outputs the pre-determination information to the sub-control unit 400 every time the determination processing of S2121 and S2221 is performed, but is not limited thereto. The prior determination information may be output every predetermined number of times, for example, output once.

  In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which a specific character appears continuously as a prior notice is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. May be. In addition, when the advance notice lasts a specific number of times or when a specific advance notice appears, a confirmed advance notice indicating that the lottery subject to the advance notice will always be won may be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery result corresponding to the value of the jackpot lottery random value is different depending on the gaming state, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when acquiring a random number for timer number lottery at the time of winning a start opening, and taking a predetermined combination of timer numbers such as “short fluctuation”, “short fluctuation”, “short fluctuation” as a result of prefetching the random number value for timer number lottery The lottery of the timer number is determined by referring to the first timer number determination table in the normal low-probability gaming state and in the normal high-probability gaming state. You may make it refer to the 2nd timer number determination table which is easy to determine the timer number whose variation time is shorter than a table. In this case, after pre-reading in the normal high probability gaming state and taking a predetermined timer number combination to start the notice, the normal low probability gaming state may be entered and the predetermined timer number combination is not taken. . Even in such a case, the prefetch determination result in the normal high probability game state and the prefetch determination result in the general low probability game state are acquired in advance as in the present invention, so that during the continuous notice. It can be performed without applying a processing load when preventing the continuity of the continuous notice from being impaired due to interruption of “long fluctuation”. That is, “The lottery unit performs lottery of symbol variation time based on the fact that a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied, using the count value, and the symbol of the symbol is more than the first lottery result and the first lottery result. It may be one that selects any one lottery result from a plurality of lottery results including the second lottery result having a long variation time. In addition, when changing the timer number determination table to be referred to according to the number of holds, a prior determination for each hold may be performed in addition to the gaming state. For example, when there are four holds at the start of change, it is easier to select a shorter change than when there is one hold at the start of change, and a notice notification mode when there are four holds at the start opening prize Alternatively, the notice notification mode when the number of holds is 1 may be determined.

  In addition, since there is a possibility that a stop-hit game may be played, it is possible not to perform the advance notice in the special figure 2 fluctuation in the usual high probability game state. In addition, the notice for the fluctuation of the special figure 2 in the ordinary high probability gaming state is not performed based on the fact that the lottery value of the special figure 1 is prefetched, but only when the lottery value of the special figure 2 is prefetched. You may do it. In this case, the main control unit may output only the preliminary determination result of FIG. 2 to the sub control unit.

  Further, the present invention can also be applied to a slot machine provided with the pachinko type effect device shown in FIG.

  FIG. 29 is a view showing a slot machine provided with a sealed pachinko performance device.

  The encapsulated pachinko performance device shown in FIG. 29 includes mechanical parts having functions necessary for the pachinko performance device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In other words, the game balls launched from the launching device are provided so as to roll in the game area and enter into a plurality of winning openings or out openings. However, the game balls that have entered the plurality of winning openings or out openings are not discharged to the external island facility, but are provided to be guided to the payout passage. For this reason, the game ball can be circulated in the slot machine.

  The player is provided so that the enclosed pachinko performance device can be played when a specific condition is satisfied. The specific condition is, for example, until a predetermined number of games are played after the special game is completed, or until a predetermined time elapses after the special game is ended. During this time, the player can launch a game ball into the game area of the enclosed pachinko performance device with a predetermined operation. This operation may be performed each time an operation necessary for playing the slot machine, for example, each time the start lever is operated, or may be performed every time the launch handle is provided and the launch handle is operated.

  A predetermined profit may be given to the player when the game result of the encapsulated pachinko performance device is a predetermined result after the predetermined number of games have been completed or after a predetermined period has elapsed. The predetermined profit is given by a predetermined period or a predetermined game when the CPU provided in the slot machine determines that the number of winnings or game ball payouts of the pachinko directing device is equal to or greater than the predetermined number. You may make it notify the winning combination that has been drawn lots of times (so-called AT), QR code (registered trademark) is displayed, and when the QR code (registered trademark) is accessed, a predetermined privilege (such as a premier image) is acquired. You may be able to do it. Further, the method of granting the predetermined profit is not limited to the determination made by the CPU provided in the slot machine. For example, the game store clerk enters the game ball of the encapsulated pachinko performance device or the You may make it give a prize when the symbol combination of a symbol display apparatus is confirmed and a predetermined winning opening is awarded, or when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed.

  In addition, when the symbol variation start condition is not established at a predetermined start port, the lottery based on the winning combination or the variation start may be suspended. At this time, the notice in the present invention may be performed.

  As described above, the present invention can also be applied to the production in the pachinko production device provided in the slot machine.

  Here, supplementary explanation will be given for the present embodiment.

<Starter system>
In addition to the first special figure start port 126 and the second special figure start port 128, a third special figure start port is provided. It may be a non-variable winning opening (VIP start opening) that is difficult to ball.

<Lottery>
Further, in the special figure 2 related lottery process shown in FIG. 14 and the special figure 1 related lottery process shown in FIG. 17, in this embodiment, a lottery of the number of rounds and probability variation is performed, and the corresponding jackpot symbol is based on the lottery result. However, it is possible to draw lots of jackpots, jackpots or loses, and if it is a jackpot, lottery symbols will be drawn, and the amount of profit to be given to the player may be determined according to the jackpot symbols . Specifically, if the jackpot symbol is the first jackpot symbol, a 15R special jackpot with a short time may be set, if the jackpot symbol is the second jackpot symbol, the 2R jackpot without a hour may be set, etc. . Further, the profit amount to be given to the player corresponding to the jackpot symbol may be different depending on the game state. For example, when the first jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the normal figure high probability state, it is a 15R special jackpot with a short time, and when the first jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the normal figure low probability state, the time is not 15R. It may be a special jackpot. In addition, there are a first jackpot symbol and a second jackpot symbol. In the high probability state, the first jackpot symbol is 100 times a short 15R special jackpot and the second jackpot symbol is a hundred times Although it is a 2R special jackpot, in a normal low probability state, the first jackpot symbol may be a 15R special jackpot with a 30-hour reduction, and the second jackpot symbol may be a 2R special jackpot with a 30-hour shortening. In this way, the number of time reductions after the completion of the time reduction may be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the gaming state. And a game state may change at the time of prior determination information acquisition and a lottery being performed.

  Further, the special drawing 2 is drawn in preference to the special drawing 1, but the drawing is not limited to this, and the lottery may be performed simply in the order of winning. In addition, a prize that is won later may be drawn in advance. In addition, the lottery may be performed independently of the lotteries in FIG. 1 and FIG. In addition, after the lottery result notification is over, priority is given to the lottery of the special figure 2 when both the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are on hold. However, the lottery result of the special figure 1 is not limited to this. Even when the special drawing 2 is won, even if the special drawing 2 is won, the special drawing 2 lottery result is interrupted and the special drawing 2 lottery is performed. The notification of the lottery result in FIG. 1 may be resumed.

  Also, the random value or random number range that is a big hit in the special figure low probability state may not be included in the random value or random number range that is a big hit in the special figure high probability state. For example, a random value (eg, “7”) that is a big hit in the special figure low probability state may not be a random value that is a big hit in the special figure high probability state. In addition, the random number value or random number range that becomes a jackpot symbol (for example, 15R jackpot with a short time) that is advantageous in the special figure low probability state is included in the random number value or random number range that is advantageous in the special figure high probability state. It does not have to be.

<Preliminary judgment unit>
In the winning acceptance process shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the lottery is performed for the hold that has won this time, based on the winning at the first special figure starting port 126 and the second special figure starting port 128. For example, when the change starts, the previous change start is compared with the hold at the start of the current change, and if the hold is increased, a lottery may be performed for the increased hold. Thus, the prior determination may be executed based on the establishment of a predetermined condition.

  Further, if the current lottery is a big hit, the prior determination information may not be output to the sub-control unit 400.

  Further, when the special figure 1 fluctuates, the preliminary determination information for the fluctuation of the special figure 1 is output to the sub-control unit 400, and when the special figure 2 fluctuates, the preliminary determination information for the fluctuation of the special figure 2 is output. You may make it output to the subcontrol part 400. FIG.

  Further, in the case of a special figure high probability state, the advance determination information of the special figure 1 may not be output to the sub-control unit 400, or the process of outputting the advance determination information of the special figure 1 to the sub-control unit 400 may be performed. You may skip it.

  In the case of the normal high probability state, information indicating that all are lost may be output to the sub-control unit 400 while maintaining the storage of the prior determination information storage area, or the prior determination information storage area The information stored in the information may be masked and information indicating that all are lost may be output to the sub-control unit 400.

<Judgment result storage unit>
The pre-lottery information storage area shown in FIG. 9 may store a predetermined jackpot among a plurality of jackpots.

  Further, the prior lottery information storage area shown in FIG. 9 stores the advance determination information with a smaller capacity than the holding information storage area shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, the preliminary lottery information storage area shown in FIG. 9 may be stored corresponding to the hold information storage area shown in FIG.

<Game state switching unit>
In order to change the gaming state of the pachinko machine 100, if the jackpot is a special jackpot after the jackpot ends, the game is shifted to a special figure high probability state.

  Further, in order to change the gaming state of the pachinko machine 100, in the case of a special figure high probability state, a falling lottery that is a lottery for shifting from a special figure high probability state to a special figure low probability state may be performed every lottery. . It may be a lottery that makes a transition from the ordinary high probability state to the ordinary low probability state.

<Notice Notification Department>
When the hold is 0, the notice effect lottery process may be skipped.

  In addition, the notice may be not only a lot of the same characters appear, but also those with scenarios, those in which the production effect is gradually enhanced, those in which the same type of production occurs frequently, etc. . Further, the notice notification is not limited to the notice effect, but may be common to those other than the notice effect.

  When the notice notification is ended because the gaming state has been changed, a common notice notification end notification may be performed. For example, a character may appear, and a balloon such as “No, not this time ... Expect next time ...” may be displayed.

  If there is an interrupt in FIG. 2 during the continuous notice, the memory in the continuous notice execution storage unit is corrected. Specifically, the notice is increased by the amount corresponding to the interrupt shown in FIG. Whether or not special figure 2 has interrupted may be determined based on the fact that the special figure 2 pending increase command has been transmitted when special figure 1 is pending.

  Only the notice effect information of the special figure 1 is output when the fluctuation of the special figure 1 and only the notice effect information of the special figure 2 is outputted when the fluctuation of the special figure 2.

  There may be a plurality of lost symbols.

  If a notice is given during a so-called hidden probability change (special figure high-probability normal figure low-probability state), there may be a case where the 2R jackpot without time is hit and a loss occurs. In this case, a change in gaming state cannot be predicted.

  Regarding the winning of the winning game state, the advance notice information is acquired based on a plurality of gaming states.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 has a special figure 1 variable time lottery random number counter for generating a special figure 1 variable time lottery random value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, and a value in the range of 0 to 65535. A special figure 2 variable time lottery random number counter for generating a special figure 2 variable time lottery random value is provided, and the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation stop display relating to the special figure 1 based on the special figure 1 variable time lottery random value is provided. In addition to the determination, the variation time of the symbol variation stop display related to the special diagram 2 may be determined based on the special graphic 2 variation time lottery random value.

  Moreover, in recent game machines, it is possible not only to simply start and display the results of the game, but also to enhance the interests such as making it possible for the player to have a sense of expectation during the game. However, the current situation is that players will soon get bored if they do not have a function that can expand the range of games. In addition to this current situation, in a conventional gaming machine equipped with a game board having a plurality of winning holes, a game ball wins at the first starting port or the second starting port among the plurality of winning ports. A winning storage section (holding ball storage section) for storing up to a predetermined number, and lottery means for lottering a profit amount to be given to a player when the winning storage section stores one or more winning prizes; The lottery result notifying means (symbol changing means) for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means when the predetermined notification start condition (the symbol is not changing, etc.), and the second start port A winning probability selecting means (ordinary lottery probability selecting means) for selecting a winning probability for the first winning probability and a second winning probability higher than the first winning probability; The lottery result notifying means is based on winning a prize to the second starting port. Before the predetermined notification start condition is established on the gaming machine that is controlled so that the lottery result is notified in preference to the lottery result notification based on the winning at the first start opening. , Simply adding a notice notification control means for controlling the notice to indicate that the lottery result is a specific result at a predetermined notice probability will cause the player to stop and play the game. There is a problem that the operation may be reduced. That is, if a notice notice function is simply added to a gaming machine having special figures 1 and 2 and special figure 2 is preferentially changed, there is a possibility that a stop game will be played. By giving a notice of advance notice, it is possible to effectively raise the player's expectation and enhance the interest of the game. However, the winning probability selecting means selects the second winning probability. In the case where the prize winning selection means selects the first winning probability, the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening in the case is received. If the control is performed so that it is performed with the same or higher notice probability than the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the notice notice, the player's sense of expectation for the big hit after the next change is enhanced by the notice notice effect, and the player's interest is enhanced. Although it is possible, after storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting opening, if the advance notification is not given by the first starting opening, the stored predetermined number of winnings Stop to reduce memory , Store again up to a predetermined number, and after confirming that the advance notice by the first starting port has been made, stop and finish the game to get a big hit by the second starting port By doing so, it is possible to obtain one or more jackpots more than when not stopping, and there is a case where a stopping game is performed for that purpose.

  However, according to the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, such a problem can be solved, the interest of the game is not impaired, and a decrease in the operation of the game machine can be prevented.

  Further, in the normal figure high probability state, “average time required for one game ball to enter the second special figure starting opening 128” <“average of one fluctuation cycle (change start to stop display end)” "Time". For this reason, if the stop is not performed, the special figure 2 basically fluctuates.

  In the ordinary low probability state, “average time required for one game ball to enter the second special figure starting port 128” <“average time of one fluctuation cycle (change start to stop display end)” It has become.

  Further, the special figure 1 display symbol update timer and the special figure 2 display symbol update timer may be different for each number of held balls. Further, the reserved ball to be determined may be determined separately for the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. For example, when there is only one hold in FIG. 2 and there are four holds in FIG. 1, the number of holds may be regarded as one and the fluctuation timer in FIG. 2 may be determined. Then, a timer with a longer variation time may be selected as the number of holdings is smaller. As a result, in particular, when the second special figure starting port 128 can win a big hit rather than the first special figure starting port 126, it is possible to prevent the fluctuation in the special figure 1 from being performed as much as possible. Can be created.

  In addition, the normal figure low probability state and the special figure low probability state (normal game state), the normal figure low probability state and the special figure high probability state (hidden probability variation state), the general figure high probability and the special figure low probability state (short-time state) A normal figure high probability state and a special figure high probability state (probability variation state) may be provided.

  The usual high probability state may be terminated when a lottery is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). In this case, for example, a preliminary advance notice or a false advance notice may be performed based on a random number of the first special figure starting port 126 that has entered the ball before reaching 100 times after 100 times. In other words, the second starting port here is a transition from the easy to win state to the difficult to win state according to the present invention when the lottery means according to the present invention performs a predetermined number of lotteries. The informing means performs a notice of a lottery result of a lottery based on a winning to the first starting port before the state of the second starting port shifts from the easy to win state to the difficult to win state with a predetermined notice probability. It may be.

  In addition, prior to the jackpot start, if you decide to make a jackpot with a special figure 1 and make a prior notice or fake advance notice (collectively these are called notice notices), After the jackpot is over, when the usual high probability state is entered, the notice of the notice may not be performed.

  When a special drawing high probability state and a special drawing high probability state are included and a specific condition is satisfied (when a specific number of rotations (number of fluctuations) such as 1000 is exceeded before the big hit, or in a predetermined lottery In the case of winning, etc., the advance notice or the false advance notice may be performed in the special figure 1 as well. Although it is not preferable to perform advance notice or fake advance notice in Fig. 1, it may be performed when a specific condition is satisfied in order to create a lump ball. By including the special figure high probability state in the specific condition, it is possible to reduce the stop period. Further, by including that the predetermined number of fluctuations is exceeded in the specific condition, the player's hookup can be remedied. This notice notification includes a notice that suggests the player to stop or launch. If this notification is made, the operation will be reduced due to the stoppage, so the probability of not performing the notice notification in one ordinary figure high probability state> in one ordinary figure high probability state The probability of notifying the previous notice in one normal high probability state, and the probability of not performing the previous notice in one high probability state × 5 Is desirable.

  The starting port may be a gate.

  A big hit is determined when entering the first special figure starting port 126, and if it is a big hit, a big hit signal may be output from an external information terminal board such as the information output circuit 334 shown in FIG. In this way, a random number is obtained by entering the first special figure starting port 126, and while the random number is stored until the start of fluctuation, the value of the random number is illegally rewritten to generate a jackpot. Even if it is received, it is possible to know that the jackpot signal has not been output from the external information terminal board and that the jackpot is due to rewriting of an illegal random number. In addition, it is not restricted to an external information terminal board, You may alert | report by a predetermined alerting | reporting means.

  In addition, “in a game stand having a start opening, when there is a winning storage section for storing a predetermined number of winning game balls at the starting opening, and when the winning storage section has one or more winning storages, A lottery means for performing a lottery of a profit amount to be given to the player, a lottery result notifying unit for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, and the lottery result is advantageous for the player before notifying the lottery result. It may also be a “gaming table provided with notice information means for making notice information including notice information that makes the player expect a good result with a predetermined notice probability”.

  In addition, although the example demonstrated here is not restricted to the example which changed the said Example 1, all what is applicable to Example 1 shall be applicable. In particular, the word “applicable to the first embodiment” is attached to what is desired to be applied to the first embodiment. However, this indicates carefully that the present invention can be applied to the first embodiment. The absence of this does not mean that it cannot be applied to the first embodiment.

(Modification 1)
In the first modified example, the notice for the lottery of the special figure 1 based on the case where the first special figure starting port 126 is won in the usual high probability state is performed when the normal figure low probability state is entered. The present invention can be applied to the first embodiment or other embodiments.

  The first modification is intended to provide a notice for the suspension of the special figure 1 after the usual high probability state is ended while preventing the stoppage shown in the first embodiment.

  In this modified example, the notice probability of the lottery notice based on the first special figure start opening prize during the high probability of ordinary figure and the lottery notice notice based on the first special figure start entry prize during the low probability of ordinary figure. The same lottery table may be used because it is not necessary to make the previous notice probability different. Thus, “a game having a first start port and a second start port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a relatively difficult to win state. In the table, a winning storage unit that stores a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port, and stores up to a predetermined number of gaming balls won at the second starting port; In the case where there is one or more winning memories stored in the winning memory unit, a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to a player, and a lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, A lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the starting port of 2 in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning of the first starting port; and the lottery result Before the notification, the lottery result is A warning notification means for performing a warning notification including a warning information that makes a player expect a good result at a predetermined warning probability, wherein the warning notification means has the second starting port in the winning-award state. In such a case, it is controlled so that the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting port is performed when the second starting port is in the difficult to win state. Therefore, it is possible to provide a game stand that prevents the stoppage and enhances the fun of the game.

  Further, “the notice notifying means controls not to give a notice of a lottery result of a lottery based on winning to the first start opening when the second start opening is in the winning easy state. In some cases, the lottery processing program can be simplified.

  Further, “the advance notice unit notifies the advance notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the second start port when the second start port is in the easy-to-win state. Is characterized in that it is controlled so as to be performed even in the case where the player is in the easy-to-win state. ”

  Further, “the advance notice unit performs a lottery for determining whether or not the advance notice is given when a game ball wins a first start opening, and the second start opening is in the easy winning state. A preliminary lottery result storage unit for storing a lottery result of the preliminary lottery in some cases, and the preliminary notice unit is configured so that the winning probability selecting unit can easily win a prize when the second starting port is in the difficult to win state. When it becomes a state, based on the memory of the notice lottery result storage unit, it is controlled to notify the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning of the game ball at the first starting port. In some cases, the lottery processing program can be simplified.

  And an easy change means for changing the second starting port from the difficult to win state to the easy to win state on the condition that the lottery means has acquired the specific lottery result. The control means is arranged so that the easy change means changes the second start opening from the difficult to win state to the easy win state after the lottery means acquires the specific lottery result. It is characterized in that the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning of the game ball is controlled so that it is performed when the second starting port is in the difficult to win state ”. In addition to the probability, it is possible to surely prevent the stop-hit game by not performing the period from the acquisition of the jackpot lottery random number that confirms the transition in the normal high probability until the normal high probability ends. it can. More specifically, it is possible to avoid being stopped in order to digest the suspension of the special figure 1 when there is no prior notice at the time of starting the usual figure after the end of the jackpot. The notice notification control means indicates that the specific lottery result indicates that the easy change means does not change the second starting port from the difficult-to-win state to the easy-to-win state, and the special game state is triggered. If the result is a lottery result, the control may be performed so that a notice is given even when the winning state is easy.

  Further, “a first control unit (main control unit) including the lottery unit and the advance notice unit, and a second control unit different from the first control unit, the advance notice unit. A second control unit (sub-control unit) including a notice effect execution means for receiving a notice notice command which is a notice notice execution command output by the control unit and executes the notice notice. In the case where the second starting port is in the easy-to-win state, the notice notification command is not transmitted to the second control unit, and the second starting port is in the difficult to win state. In this case, the notice notification command may be transmitted to the second control unit ”. A configuration is also possible in which the notification information is transmitted to the sub-control unit, and the sub-control unit stores the notice information, and the notice is notified at the end of the time reduction. When read, it may not be output from the main control unit because the profit may be obtained illegally by performing the stopping attack strategy described in the first embodiment.

  In addition, the second control unit includes, in addition to the notice notification, an effect notification means for performing an effect notification that enhances the fun of the game, wherein the effect notification means has the second start port as the winning prize. In the easy state, as the effect notification, the notification device performs notification that is continuous with the notification that is performed when the second starting port is in the difficult-to-win state. Thus, continuous notification can be performed from the high probability of ordinary figure to the advance notice in the low probability state after completion of the ordinary probability of ordinary figure. In this case, notifications during high-probability high-probability and low-probability notifications after the completion of high-probability high-probability are continuous. The notice during the low probability after the end of the high probability is a notice notice. In addition, at the time of performing notification during the high figure probability, the sub-control unit 400 does not know whether or not to give a notice when the normal figure low probability state changes to the normal figure low probability state. You may make it perform alerting | reporting followed by the alerting notification performed after completion | finish of the figure high probability. In addition, a plurality of patterns are provided for the notice notification that is executed after the end of the high probability of the usual figure, and the notice information that is executed after the end of the high probability of the figure is selected from the plurality of patterns based on the notice notified during the high probability of the usual figure. You may make it select.

  In addition, “when the second start port is in the easy-to-win state, the notice of the lottery result based on the winning to the first start port is notified, and the second start port is selected by the lottery means. `` It is characterized by controlling so that it will not be performed when it becomes difficult to win due to the special gaming state when the result is a specific result '', so that it becomes a low probability state It is possible to exclude the big hit from the conditions.

(Modification 2)
In addition to simply starting the game and displaying the results, it has become possible to improve the interest by making the player have a sense of expectation in the middle of the game, but the range of games can be expanded Aside from the fear that the player will soon get bored if the player does not have a special function, the conventional game stand makes an advantageous decision about the right to change the symbol before starting the change display. When it is determined that a game state is to be generated, the range of game play has been expanded by changing the variation time of the variation display before the symbol variation based on the right. However, when changing the variation time based on the result of the determination of success / failure in advance, it becomes possible to increase the number of success / failure lotteries more than before, so the number of jackpots will naturally increase, There was a problem that gambling was increased. However, when a notice is given without changing the variation time based on the result of the determination as to whether or not it has been made in advance, the last variation display of the continuous variation display may not be a long variation time. In this case, there is a possibility that the notice effect of the notice in the continuous variable display is lowered, and the interest of the player is lowered. The modified example 2 solves this problem and can be applied to the first embodiment or other embodiments.

  That is, “when a game ball enters the predetermined start port, the display of the variation of the symbol over the variation time of at least one of the first variation time and the second variation time shorter than the first variation time is started. A predetermined symbol display means, and when the symbol mode stopped by the symbol display means is the first specific symbol mode, the first special gaming state advantageous to the player is started and the symbol display means stops the display. Special game state starting means for starting a second special game state that is hardly advantageous to the player when the aspect is the second specific symbol aspect, wherein the symbol display means is the first specific symbol aspect or the first 2 When a specific symbol pattern is stopped and displayed after variable display, it is suggested that the symbol display means is highly likely to stop display the first specific symbol pattern in a plurality of variable displays with the variable display last. By performing notification notification and performing the variation display over the first variation time ”, when performing multiple notifications, the last variation display is displayed with a long variation time (first variation time). )It can be carried out. Or, compared with the case where the last variation display is a short variation time (second variation time), it is possible to prevent the effect of the announcement notification from being lowered, and it is possible to prevent the player from being less interested. Alternatively, since the advance notice is given, the player can recognize that the first special game state or the second special game state, which is hardly advantageous, is started. The player can be interested in whether or not the state is started, and the interest of the player can be improved. In addition, by starting the second special gaming state that is not advantageous at the end of the continuous notice, which is hardly advantageous, it is possible to give the player the feeling that it is better than the lose, and the fun of the game is reduced. Can be prevented (disappointing and reducing the degree). In addition, the “second special game state that is hardly advantageous” here means the 2R normal jackpot or the jackpot (in the case of the jackpot lottery, the lottery is drawn from the jackpot, the jackpot or lose) In this case, the attacker opens only for 1R and does not shift to the normal figure high probability state or the special figure high probability state).

  Further, “if there is a variation display of the first variation time before the variation display of the second variation time among the plurality of variation displays, the second variation time in the variation display of the first variation time. In the case where the notice is given when a short fluctuation display is performed after a long fluctuation display, the warning information is provided at an interval not exceeding the second fluctuation time with a long fluctuation display. Since the advance notice is performed, the player can be made aware of the relevance (continuity) with the previous advance notice when the advance notice is given in the short variation display after the end of the long variation display. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect of the announcement notification from being lowered, and it is possible to prevent the player from being less interested.

  In addition, “when the variation time of the first variation display among the plurality of variation displays is shorter than the first variation time, the notice notification is performed”, so that the first variation time is long. When there is no (short) notice notification is started, the last variation time is set to a longer variation time than the first, so the effect of continuous notice notification can be enhanced and the player's interest can be improved. it can.

  In addition, since the notice notification includes a temporary stop display of a symbol different from the symbol stop display, the notice notification is a temporary stop display. Display to be performed is performed a plurality of times. In addition, since the temporary stop display is performed a plurality of times in the long variation display, the preliminary stop display and the stop display can be performed in advance, and the effect of the advance notification can be enhanced. The interest of the player can be improved.

  Further, “in any one of the continuous variation displays of the plurality of variation displays, at least after a third variation time shorter than the second variation time has elapsed since the previous notification in the previous variation display ended. , Characterized in that the advance notice is given in the next fluctuation display ”, so that the advance notice is not given at least for the third variation time between the advance notice and the notice notice. It is possible to prevent the production from becoming monotonous and improve the interest of the player.

  In addition, “the special gaming state start means starts a third special gaming state advantageous to the player, with at least one of the conditions being the end of the second special gaming state”. Since the third special game state advantageous to the player may be started after the end of the second special game state, even if the player starts the second special game state after notification of the advance notice, A game can be played with the expectation that a gaming state may be started. In addition, when the third special gaming state is a state that is difficult for the player to discriminate, it is possible to cause the player to predict whether or not it is the third special gaming state even after the second special gaming state has ended. , The interest of the player can be improved.

  In addition, “the second specific symbol aspect includes a first symbol aspect and a second symbol aspect, and a variation display variation time when the first symbol aspect is stopped and displayed is the first variation time. Yes, the variation display variation time when the second symbol mode is stopped and displayed is the second variation time, and the variation display variation time for starting the third special gaming state is the second variation time. Whether or not the first special gaming state is entered when the last of the plurality of variable displays with a notice is the first variable time variable display. If the second special gaming state is started after the variation display of the second variation time, it can be expected whether or not the third special gaming state is entered.

  In addition, “If the symbol display means does not stop display the first specific symbol mode or the second specific symbol mode after the variable display, whether the notice is to be given in a plurality of variable displays including the variable display at the end. By providing the lose notice / notification determination means for determining whether or not ”, the notice can be given even in the case of a loss, so the production can be made more diverse.

  In addition, “when the symbol display means stops displaying the first specific symbol aspect or the second specific symbol aspect after the variable display, whether the notice of notice is performed in a plurality of variable displays including the variable display at the end. There may be provided a notice notification determination means for determining whether or not the notice notification determination means does not perform the determination while the notice notification is being performed.

  Further, “the predetermined symbol display means includes a first symbol display means and a second symbol display means, and one of the first symbol display means and the second symbol display means is the first specific symbol mode or When the second specific symbol form is stopped and displayed after the fluctuation display, in the other variable display of the first symbol display means or the second symbol display means, the one stops and displays the first specific symbol aspect. It may be characterized in that a notice to notify that there is a high possibility is given, and the possibility that the second specific symbol form is stopped and displayed is different between the one and the other.

  In addition, “a plurality of variable winning holes that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can enter and a closed state in which the game ball cannot enter are provided. One of the plurality of variable winning awards is opened in a predetermined manner during the state or the second special game state, and the plurality of variable during the first special game state or the second special game state where the advance notice is not performed. It may be characterized in that the other winning opening is opened in a predetermined manner.

(Modification 3)
The modification example 3 has “a first start port and a second start port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult to win state. In the game stand, a winning storage unit that stores a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port and stores a predetermined number of gaming balls won at the second starting port; The lottery means for drawing the profit amount to be given to the player when the winning memory unit has one or more winning memories, and the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, The lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the second starting port in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting port, and the lottery result Before informing the player of the lottery result A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including notice information that causes the player to expect a favorable result at a predetermined notice probability, and the notice notifying unit is based on winning in the first starting opening When the second start port is in the winning state and the predetermined notification condition is not satisfied, the second start port is in the winning state and the predetermined notification condition. It is characterized in that the control is performed so that the case where is established is performed with a higher notice probability ”. This is also applicable to the first embodiment or other embodiments.

  The predetermined condition includes, for example, “a winning difficulty transition means that shifts from the easy winning state to the difficult winning state when the lottery means a lottery a predetermined number of times, and the predetermined condition is determined by the difficult winning transition means. The remaining number of times until the transition to the transition from the winning easy state to the difficult winning state may be a predetermined number. Even if the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the first starting port is notified when the usual high probability state is about to end, the stop-stop game is not performed compared to the case where it is not just before. It is. Further, for example, “it includes a difficult-to-winner transition unit that shifts from the easy-to-win state to the difficult-to-win state when the lottery unit has drawn a predetermined number of times. The remaining number of times until the transition from the state to the difficult-to-win state is a predetermined number, and the reserved number of the second start port is a predetermined number. For example, if the remaining number of times until the transition to the low-probability state is 2 and the number of holdings of special figure 2 is 4, when the lottery is made, This is because there is no problem because it is usually in a low probability state. It is difficult to indicate an absolute expression because the expression differs depending on the procedure of the process. However, “the predetermined condition is that the notice notification means starts from the notice notification and shifts to the winning difficult state. It may be on condition that the first start opening is not lottery ”. In this way, it is not possible to digest the suspension of the special figure 1 by making a stop hit, so that it is not possible to obtain a double jackpot, and it is possible to reduce the number of players who make a stop hit.

(Modification 4)
In addition to simply starting the game and displaying the results, it has become possible to improve the interest by making the player have a sense of expectation in the middle of the game, but the range of games can be expanded Aside from the fear that the player will soon get bored if the player does not have a special function, the conventional game stand makes an advantageous decision about the right to change the symbol before starting the change display. When it is determined that a game state is to be generated, the range of game play has been expanded by changing the variation time of the variation display before the symbol variation based on the right. However, when changing the variation time based on the result of the determination of success / failure in advance, it becomes possible to increase the number of success / failure lotteries more than before, so the number of jackpots will naturally increase, There was a problem that gambling was increased. However, when a notice is given without changing the fluctuation time based on the result of the determination of whether or not the user has made a decision in advance, a long fluctuation time such as 40 seconds may be selected during the continuous notice effect. There is a risk that the continuity of the production will be impaired, the production effect will be reduced, and the interest of the player will be reduced. For this reason, rather than continuous notice to try to notify the jackpot over multiple special drawing lottery, pseudo-continuous that makes one special drawing lottery appear as if there were multiple special drawing lotteries and enhances the fun of the game It is conceivable that the advance notice makes it easier to adjust the time because the variable time can be determined after the lottery, and that it is easier to improve the interest of the player. However, the pseudo-continuous notice makes one special figure change look like multiple special figure changes, so the special figure change time per unit time becomes longer and the operation of the amusement store may be reduced. There's a problem. The modified example 4 solves this problem and can be applied to the first embodiment or other embodiments.

  That is, “in a game stand having a start opening, when there is a winning storage section for storing up to a predetermined number of game balls won at the starting opening, and at least one winning storage in the winning storage section, A lottery means for performing a lottery of a profit amount to be given to the player, a lottery result notifying unit for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, and the lottery result is advantageous for the player before notifying the lottery result. A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including notice information that makes the player expect that the result is a predetermined result at a predetermined notice probability, and the lottery result notifying unit is configured to display a result of one lottery performed by the lottery means. The pseudo continuous lottery result notification is performed to make the notification appear as if the lottery result has been notified a plurality of times, and the notice notification means performs the notice notification that is continuous with the pseudo continuous lottery notification performed by the lottery result notification means. It is possible to change the place where the previous pseudo-sequential notice was made 5 times to 1 notice effect + 4 pseudo-sequential notices, etc., and the special drawing lottery time per unit time can be changed. It may be possible to decrease and increase the operation of the amusement store.

  In addition, “the notice notification means performs the notice of other lottery results performed before notifying the lottery result that the lottery result is the notice notice, and the lottery result notice means displays the lottery result. Control may be performed so that the pseudo continuous lottery notification is performed when informing. Specifically, if there is a hold for notifying the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning prize that triggered the advance notice, the notice of the lottery result for the hold will be notified. For example, it is possible to provide a notification that the degree of expectation is high if the stop symbol is a predetermined symbol, or that the degree of expectation is high if the stop mode is a predetermined mode.

  In addition, the “notice notification unit is characterized by performing a notification to notify the part of the pseudo continuous lottery notification performed by the lottery result notification unit”, thereby reducing the special drawing lottery time per unit time. Can be made. For example, “5” is displayed in the notice effect, and “4”, “3”, “2”, “1”, and “big hit!” Are displayed in the pseudo continuous lottery notification. By making it part, the special drawing lottery time per unit time can be reduced.

  In addition, “the lottery result notifying unit starts notifying the lottery result as the pseudo continuous lottery result notification, and performs false end notification and false start notification of the lottery result once or more until the lottery result notification ends. At the same time, a pseudo continuous notice emphasis notice for emphasizing that the false end notice or the false start notice has been performed is performed, and the notice notice means is performed before notifying the lottery result for which the notice notice is to be performed. It may be characterized in that a notification related to the false start notification is performed when starting the notification of another lottery result ”. To give a specific example, when there are three special drawings on hold and a notice is given for the third lottery, the second decorative symbol starts to change after the first decorative symbol ends. When this is done, “another time!” Is notified as a notification related to the pseudo continuous notice emphasis notification. When the third decorative symbol starts to fluctuate after the second decorative symbol has finished changing, the message “again, once again!” Is notified. The third variation of the decorative symbol is a big hit (or small hit), so it is easier to select a longer variation time than the loss (40 seconds here), and the third variation when a long variation time is selected. The variation of the decorative pattern is more likely to be a pseudo-continuous notice if the notice effect is executed in advance than when the notice effect is not executed in advance. When the pseudo continuous notice is selected, a false end notification (such as a temporary stop of the symbol) is performed upon the third decorative symbol change, and then a false start notification (revariation of the symbol) is performed. "Time!" Furthermore, when a false start notification is made via a false end notification, the notification is “It is the fourth time!”. Furthermore, when a false start notification is made via a false end notification, the notification is “5th! This is amazing!”. After that, the special symbol stops displaying the jackpot, and the decorative symbol also displays the symbol combination indicating the jackpot. Note that “the notice notification means provides a notice when the notice of the lottery result immediately before the lottery result for which the pseudo continuous notice notice is given, when the notice result of the lottery is the first time, In the case where the notification is made at any one of the second times longer than the time, the first time may be characterized in that the notification probability of making the notification notification is higher than the second time. This is because, when a long variation time is selected, the continuity as the pseudo continuous notice is lost, and therefore it is desirable to notify the lottery result different from the continuous notice. In addition, when the second time is selected, it is not necessary to give any notice.

  In addition, “the lottery result notifying unit starts notifying the lottery result as the pseudo continuous lottery result notification, and performs false end notification and false start notification of the lottery result once or more until the lottery result notification ends. At the same time, a pseudo-continuous notice emphasis notice for emphasizing that the false end notice and the false start notice are performed is performed, and the notice notice means is performed before notifying the lottery result for which the notice notice is to be performed. When the other lottery results are terminated, a notification related to the false start notification may be performed ”. When a specific example is given, there are three special figure holds, and when the notice for the third lottery is given, it is related to the pseudo continuous notice emphasis notice when the variation of the first decorative symbol is finished. As a notification, the shielding member is completely shielded once. Then, after the second decorative symbol starts to fluctuate and the second decorative symbol ends to fluctuate, the shielding member is fully shielded twice as a notification related to the pseudo continuous notice emphasis notification (after the first full shielding, 1 Open all times and shield all, and the same manner in the case of 3 times and 4 times). Then, the third decorative symbol starts to fluctuate. The third variation of the decorative pattern is a big hit (or small hit), so it is easier to select a longer fluctuation time than in the case of a loss (40 seconds here). The third variation of the decorative symbol is more likely to be a pseudo continuous notice if the notice effect is executed in advance than the case where the notice effect is not executed in advance. When the pseudo continuous notice is selected, the shielding member is fully shielded three times as a pseudo continuous notice emphasis notice when a false end notice (temporary stop of the decorative figure, etc.) is given when the third decorative symbol changes. After that, false start notification (re-decoration of decoration symbol) is performed, and when false end notification is performed, false start notification covering all four times of the shielding member is performed as pseudo continuous advance notice emphasis notification, and the jackpot is stopped and displayed. Along with this, the decorative symbol also displays a symbol combination indicating a big hit.

  Note that “the notice notification means provides a notice when the notice of the lottery result immediately before the lottery result for which the pseudo continuous notice notice is given, when the notice result of the lottery is the first time, In the case where the notification is made at any one of the second times longer than the time, the first time may be characterized in that the notification probability of making the notification notification is higher than the second time. This is because, when a long variation time is selected, the continuity as the pseudo continuous notice is lost, and therefore it is desirable to notify the lottery result different from the continuous notice. In addition, when the second time is selected, it is not necessary to give any notice.

  In addition, the “notice notification means provides a notice when the lottery result immediately before the lottery result for which the pseudo continuous notice notice is given is notified, and when the lottery result notification time is the first time, When the second time is longer than the time, and when the second time is selected, the lottery result notifying means starts to notify the previous lottery result as the notice, and the lottery Notification of fake end and false start of one or more lottery results before the notification of the result is finished, and false end of the previous lottery result after starting notification of the previous lottery result It is characterized in that the time until notification is longer than the time from notification of false start of the previous lottery result until the end of notification of the previous lottery result ” May be. Specifically, a notification with a long variation time (such as reach) is performed, a false termination notification (a notification indicating that the reach result has been lost) is performed for a reach with a long variation time, and a notification with a short variation time (no reach). (Normal fluctuation) is falsely started, notification with a short fluctuation time (notification indicating that the normal fluctuation without reach has been lost) is performed, and then pseudo continuous notice is notified as notification of the next lottery result. In addition, the false end notification and false start notification during the previous notification when the previous lottery result is notified are related to the false end notification and the false start notification of the lottery result for which pseudo continuous notification is performed. Is desirable. Thereby, even when a long variation time is selected when notifying the previous lottery result, it is possible to perform notification while maintaining pseudo-continuous notice and continuity. The reach may be a super-reach with a high degree of expectation in which the character plays an active role after the reach or the direction and speed of the pattern change is irregular.

  Moreover, although it was 1 previous, it is the same also in 2 previous and 3 previous.

(Modification 5)
Conventionally, when a game ball wins, a random number for drawing a profit amount to be given to a player has been acquired. This is because it is not possible to give the player a sense of fairness unless the random amount for the lottery is given by a game ball winning (for example, after the game ball has won a prize) If a random number is not acquired until the lottery is started, the player may feel as if the random number has been operated in the previous lottery result notification time until the lottery). On the other hand, a random number for drawing the notification time for notifying the lottery result, or a random number for drawing a lottery symbol to be displayed when a plurality of losing symbols are provided, is provided to the player. There is no direct relationship with the amount, and if these random numbers are also acquired at the time of winning a prize, there is a concern that the processing load at the time of winning will increase, so that it is acquired at the time of lottery instead of at the time of winning.

  Here, due to the nature of the notice that the lottery result is expected to be advantageous for the player before notifying the lottery result, the notice notification start determination is made by notifying the lottery result of the lottery based on the start opening prize. It could not be done at the start, but it was most efficient to do it at the time of winning a random number for lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player. However, in this case, since the notification time of the winning lottery result that triggered the advance notice is not known at the time of winning, the end of the advance notice (that is, when the lottery result of the lottery that triggered the advance notice is notified) ) May be a short lottery result notification time, and if the player's expectation is only spoken and the lottery result notification time is short, such as 3 seconds or 4 seconds, the player is false There was a risk that the excitement time of the game would be reduced because the time for excitement by the notice notice was reduced.

  Modified example 5 makes it possible to set a specific (particularly long) notification time for the winning lottery result that triggered the notification of continuous notice (including false continuous notice) when winning at the starting gate. On the other hand, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can prevent an increase in the number of random numbers acquired at the time of winning and can reduce the processing load at the time of winning.

  Here, since the type of random numbers and the acquisition timing of random numbers acquired at the time of winning and lottery are different from those of the first embodiment, the type of random numbers and the acquisition timing of random numbers of this modification will be described in detail again.

  In this example, there are five jackpot lottery random number counters, jackpot symbol lottery random number counters, small lottery symbol lottery random number counters, lost symbol lottery random number counters, and symbol variation lottery random number counters. Random numbers for different purposes are counted.

  The jackpot lottery random number counter is a counter that counts the jackpot lottery random number value acquired from the hard random number counter based on the fact that the game ball has won the winning slot. The jackpot lottery random value is a lottery lottery for the special figure like the special figure winning random number value of the first embodiment, but in this modified example, in addition to the jackpot and lose, There are some differences. The acquired random number for jackpot lottery is drawn at the time of the lottery, and based on the lottery result, a process based on the jackpot, the jackpot or lose is performed. The jackpot and the loss are the same as in the first embodiment, but the jackpot is not described in the first embodiment and will be described. The difference between jackpot and jackpot is that there is a possibility that it will shift to a state advantageous to the player at the end of operation, and that a jackpot will not shift to a state advantageous to the player at the end of operation. Can be mentioned. Moreover, it is a big hit to divide the attacker into multiple sets, and a small hit to release one set of the attacker. The random number for jackpot lottery is a random value directly related to the amount of profit given to the player.

  The jackpot symbol lottery random number counter is a counter that counts the jackpot symbol lottery random number value acquired from the soft random number counter based on the winning of the game ball in the winning slot. The jackpot symbol lottery random number value is similar to the special figure random number value of the first embodiment as an effect, but differs in small points. First, the jackpot symbol random number for lottery is acquired every time the game ball wins, but is not used when the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning does not win. When it is a big win, it is used to draw a symbol stop mode for notifying that the lottery result is a big win. In FIG. 3 of the first embodiment, the stop symbol is different between the jackpot symbol and the special jackpot symbol. However, the random symbol value for differentiating the stop symbol is used as the random symbol value for jackpot symbol lottery. Based on this stop symbol, the jackpot (does not shift to the special figure high probability state) and the special jackpot (shifts to the special figure high probability state) are determined, so the random number for the symbol lottery is the jackpot after the jackpot is confirmed The effect is similar to that of the special figure random number value of the first embodiment in that a lottery for lottering the amount of profit given by is drawn. In this modified example, 2R jackpot (with time), 2R jackpot (without time), 15R jackpot (with time), 15R jackpot (without time), 2R special jackpot (with time), 2R special jackpot Whether or not the lottery is selected based on the random number counter for jackpot symbol lottery from any of 15R special jackpot (with time), 15R special jackpot (without time), and whether or not the lottery result shifts to the normal high probability state Whether to shift to the special figure high probability state and the number of rounds are determined. In addition, even if it is a different symbol, there may be a symbol with the same profit amount to be given to the player (for example, there may be a plurality of symbols with a 2R jackpot and time reduction). Note that the jackpot symbol lottery random value is a random value directly related to the amount of profit given to the player.

  The small-hit symbol lottery random number counter is a counter that counts the random number value for small-hit symbol lottery acquired from the soft random number counter based on the fact that the game ball has won a winning opening. First, the random number value for the lottery symbol lottery is acquired every time the game ball wins, but is not used when the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning is not small. When it is a small win, it is used to draw a symbol stop mode for notifying that the lottery result is a small win. Then, based on the stop symbol selected by the lottery, small hit A (one open count, two open times), small hit B (two open times, two open times) or small hit C (three open times) , Release time 1 second) is displayed, and the attacker release time and the number of releases are set based on the display result. In addition, even if it is a different design, the profit amount given to the player may be the same. Note that the random number for lottery symbol lottery is a random value directly related to the profit amount to be given to the player.

  The lost symbol lottery random number counter is a counter that counts the random symbol value for the lost symbol lottery acquired from the soft random number counter based on the fact that the lottery based on the winning is performed. First, the random number value for the lottery symbol lottery is acquired when the lottery result is a loss, and is used to select which symbol for displaying the notification that the lottery result is a loss. is there. Note that even if there are multiple losing symbols, any losing symbol does not directly affect the amount of profits given to the player, so the losing symbol lottery random value is not directly related to the amount of profits given to the player. It is a random value.

  The symbol variation lottery random number counter is a counter that counts the symbol variation lottery random number value acquired from the soft random number counter based on the fact that the lottery based on the winning is performed. First, the symbol variation lottery random value is acquired regardless of the lottery result. Based on this symbol variation random value, the lottery result notification time, which is the time for notifying the lottery result, is determined, and the lottery result is stopped and displayed after the lottery result notification time has elapsed. The random value is not directly related to the profit amount to be given to the player.

  Hereinafter, the features that are characteristic of this modification will be described.

  In this modified example, the lottery result notification time lottery based on the symbol variation lottery random value is based on the lottery result notification time lottery table selected for each symbol notified as the lottery result and the symbol variation lottery random value. It is determined. As the lottery result notification time lottery table, different lottery tables are prepared for each stop symbol. That is, 2R jackpot (with time reduction) lottery result announcement time lottery table, 2R jackpot (without time reduction) lottery result announcement time lottery table, 15R jackpot (with time reduction) lottery result announcement time lottery table, 15R jackpot (without time reduction) Lottery result notification time lottery table, 2R special jackpot (with time reduction) lottery result notification time lottery table, 2R special jackpot (without time reduction) lottery result notification time lottery table, 15R special jackpot (with time reduction) lottery result notification time Lottery table, lottery result notification time lottery table for 15R special jackpot (no short time), lottery result notification time lottery table for small hits A (one open count, open time 2 seconds), small hit B (two open times, open) Time 2 seconds) lottery result notification time lottery table, small hits C (opening times 3 times, opening time 1 second) Lottery results notification time lottery table and the loss for the lottery result notification time lottery table is prepared. In addition, when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is a predetermined number (3 or more in the present modification example), a lottery result notification time is selected which is shorter than the case where the number is less than the predetermined number (less than 3 in the present modification example). In addition, the following lottery result table is prepared for easy (shortening of fluctuation time). That is, a lottery result announcement time lottery table for variable time reduction 2R jackpot (with time reduction), a lottery result announcement time lottery table for fluctuation time reduction 2R jackpot (no time reduction), a lottery result announcement time for fluctuation time reduction 15R jackpot (with time reduction) Lottery table, Fluctuation time shortening 15R jackpot (no time) lottery result notification time lottery table, Fluctuation time shortening 2R special jackpot (with time) lottery result notification time lottery table, Fluctuation shortening 2R special jackpot (no time reduction) lottery Result notification time lottery table, Fluctuation time shortening 15R special jackpot (with time reduction) lottery result notification time lottery table, Fluctuation time shortening 15R special jackpot (no time reduction) lottery result notification time lottery table, Fluctuation time shortening small hitting A (open) Number of times, opening time 2 seconds) lottery result notification time lottery table, fluctuation Lottery result notification time lottery table for short shortening small hit B (2 times of opening, opening time 2 seconds), lottery result notification time lottery table for short shortening small hit C (3 times of opening, opening time 1 second) and fluctuation A lottery result notification lottery table for time-shortening lost is prepared.

  In addition, as a feature here, in the lottery of the lottery result notification time based on the symbol variation lottery random value when the lose is won in the jackpot lottery, it was a predetermined value with reference to the random number for the jackpot symbol lottery In this case, a predetermined variation time (for example, 40 seconds) is selected, or a lottery result notification time lottery table different from the case of not being a predetermined value is selected. A lottery result notification time lottery table may be selected in which a longer lottery result notification time is more easily selected.

  The lottery of the notice notification performed based on winning at the start opening is when the acquired jackpot lottery random number value is lost and the acquired jackpot symbol lottery random number value is a predetermined value. In addition, the notification probability of the notice notification may be higher than when the acquired jackpot lottery random number value is lost and the acquired jackpot symbol lottery random number value is not a predetermined value (predetermined If it is the value of 100%, it may be 0% if it is a predetermined value).

  In addition, as a feature here, when the lottery is won in the big hit lottery, the lottery result announcement time lottery based on the random number value of the symbol change lottery is a predetermined value with reference to the column value for the lottery symbol lottery. If a predetermined variation time (for example, 40 seconds) is selected, or a lottery result notification time lottery table different from the case of not being a predetermined value is selected, a lottery result notification time lottery when it is not a predetermined value You may make it select the lottery result alerting | reporting time lottery table which is easy to select the lottery result alerting | reporting time longer than a table.

  Then, in the lottery of the notice notification performed based on winning at the start opening, the value of the acquired jackpot lottery random number is lost, and the value of the acquired small bonus symbol lottery is a predetermined value In this case, the notification probability of the notice notification may be higher than the case where the acquired value of the big hit lottery random number is lost and the acquired value of the random number for lottery symbol lotion is not a predetermined value. (If it is a predetermined value, it may be 100%, and if it is a predetermined value, it may be 0%).

  In addition, as a feature here, in the lottery of the lottery result notification time based on the symbol variation lottery random value when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery, it is a predetermined value with reference to the random number for the jackpot symbol lottery If a predetermined variation time (for example, 40 seconds) is selected, or a lottery result notification time lottery table different from the case of not being a predetermined value is selected, a lottery result notification time lottery when it is not a predetermined value You may make it select the lottery result alerting | reporting time lottery table which is easy to select the lottery result alerting | reporting time longer than a table.

  And, the lottery of the notice notification performed based on winning at the start opening, the value of the acquired jackpot lottery random number is a small hit, and the value of the acquired jackpot symbol lottery random number is a predetermined value In this case, the notification probability of the notice notification may be higher than the case where the value of the acquired jackpot lottery random number is a small hit and the acquired jackpot symbol lottery random number is not a predetermined value. (If it is a predetermined value, it may be 100%, and if it is a predetermined value, it may be 0%).

  Thus, “in a game machine having a start opening, when there is a winning storage section for storing a predetermined number of winning game balls at the starting opening, and at least one winning storage in the winning storage section. A lottery means for lottering a profit amount to be given to the player, a lottery result notifying means for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, and before the lottery result is notified, Notice information including notice information that makes the player expect that the result is advantageous to the player at a predetermined notice probability, and a lottery result notice time for lottery of the lottery result notice lottery performed by the lottery means Lottery means, and the lottery result notification time lottery means has a longer time when the random number acquired when the game ball wins at the start opening is a predetermined value than when it is not a predetermined value. When notifying lottery results Is provided so that the probability of selecting is increased, and the notice notification means, when the random number acquired when the starting game ball wins is a predetermined value, than the case where the random number is not a predetermined value It is characterized by the fact that it is provided so that the notice probability of the notice notice is high ”, so that when winning at the starting gate, the winning lottery result that triggered the notice of the continuous notice (including false continuous notice) A game machine capable of reducing the processing load at the time of winning by preventing the increase in the number of random numbers acquired at the time of winning while making it possible to make the notification time of a particular thing (especially long) It is intended to provide.

  Further, “the lottery result notification time lottery means may be characterized in that super reach is easily performed when the long-time lottery result notification time is selected”. As a result, the end of the continuous notice can be ended by super reach, and the interest of the player's game is not lowered.

  In addition, “the random number value acquired when the game ball wins the start opening has a first random number value and a second random number value, and the lottery means uses the first random number value. If the lottery result of the first profit amount to be given to the player is determined and the lottery result of the first profit amount is a predetermined lottery result, the second profit amount is calculated using the second random number value. The lottery result notification time lottery means sets the second random number value as the predetermined value when the lottery result of the first profit amount performed by the lottery means is not a predetermined lottery result. , Characterized by selecting the lottery result notification time ”, which is not directly related to the lottery result, but by selecting the lottery result notification time using the random value acquired at the time of winning a prize, Unevenness can be prevented.

  In addition, “the first random number value and the second random number value may be random values for drawing a profit amount to be given to a player”. Thereby, the last of continuous notice can be ended by the lottery result information time of a long time using the random number value which should be acquired at the time of winning a prize. The first random number value and the second random number value are random numbers for drawing whether or not to shift to the special figure high probability state after the jackpot ends, and shift to the common figure high probability state after the jackpot ends. It may be a random value for drawing whether or not, a random value for drawing lottery profit (number of rounds), and the like. In addition, random number value for drawing how many special drawing lotteries will be maintained until the special figure high probability state is transferred, and how many special maps are transferred to the normal figure high probability state It may be a random value for drawing whether or not the usual high probability state is maintained until the lottery.

  When a specific symbol (such as small hit C) is won, the fluctuation time is not shortened (the lottery result notification time lottery table with a short variation time is not provided), and the random value that the specific symbol wins is acquired. The lottery result notification time may be made easier to select than when the random value is not acquired. This is because if the lottery result notification time changes due to the shortening of the variation time, the lottery result notification time may not be long at the end of the continuous notice. In addition, when a predetermined random number value is acquired, both when the table for changing the variation time is selected and when it is not selected, the lottery result notification time is longer than when the predetermined random number value is not acquired. If you select a table for reducing the variation time, even if you do not select it, select the same variation time when you obtain a predetermined random number value. Lottery data may be set.

  Of the small bonuses, the specific small hits (small hit A and small hit B) have the same symbol variation lottery table as the specific big hits (15R, ordinary high probability state, special figure high probability state, etc.). May be. The small hits (small hits C) that are not specific hits may be different.

(Modification 6)
<Special drawing lottery processing>
In the first embodiment, a random number is obtained by entering the first special figure starting port or the second special figure starting port, and a lottery for notice notification is performed based on the random number, and then a big hit based on the random number is performed. Although a lottery was performed, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a random number is acquired by entering the first special figure starting port or the second special figure starting port, and a lottery lottery is performed based on the random number, and a lottery for notice notification is performed based on the result of the big jackpot lottery Also good.

<Main production lottery>
In the first embodiment, the lottery probability of the special figure variation time is made different between the normal figure high probability state and the normal figure low probability state. It may be provided other than the probability state. For example, the lottery probability of the fluctuation time of the special figure may be varied according to the number of reserved balls of the special figure. In this case, the variation (for example, 4) when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is large may be selected more easily than the variation (for example, 1) when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is small. Good. In this way, when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is large, stoppage can be prevented by shortening the fluctuation time, and when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is short, the fluctuation time can be increased to increase the special figure. The non-fluctuating state is reduced, and it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from deteriorating.

  More specifically, the number of reserved balls in the special figure, which causes the drawing probability of the fluctuation time of the special figure to be different, is the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 in the case of the fluctuation of the special figure 1, and the fluctuation of the special figure 2 In this case, the number of reserved balls shown in FIG. In this way, when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is large, stoppage can be prevented by shortening the fluctuation time, and when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is short, the fluctuation time can be increased to increase the special figure. The non-fluctuating state is reduced, and it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from decreasing. Otherwise, the number of reserved balls in Fig. 2 is 1 and the number of reserved balls in Fig. 1 is 4, and the number of reserved balls in Fig. 2 is 4 and the number of reserved balls in Fig. 1 is 1. Thus, the selection probability of the fluctuation time becomes the same, and when the number of reserved balls in the special figure 2 is 4 and the number of the reserved balls in the special figure 1 is 1, a long fluctuation occurs and the stopping time becomes long. There is a case.

  In addition, a factor that changes the lottery probability of the fluctuation time of the special figure may be made different depending on whether or not the notice notification is won. In this case, if you win the notice in Special Figure 1 with a high probability of ordinary figure, if you win the notice in Special Figure 1 with a low probability of ordinary figure, or Special Figure 2 with a high probability of ordinary figure It may be so arranged that the variation time of the special figure selected is shorter than that in the case of winning the previous notice. Furthermore, when the notice notification is continuously performed over a plurality of games, the subsequent fluctuation may be shortened. By doing in this way, when the big win in Special Figure 1 is won, even if it does not stop, the change of Special Figure 2 is not made so much, so that it is 2 In some cases, it is difficult to win a jackpot of times and can prevent a hitting game.

  In the first embodiment, if the probability variation state does not occur after the jackpot is over, the game always shifts to the normal high probability game state of 100 times. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a normal high probability state transition lottery may be performed at a predetermined opportunity, such as in the case of jackpot determination, and based on the fact that the lottery is won, the normal high probability state may be shifted. For example, when the big hit probability state lottery is won at the time of jackpot determination, it may be shifted to the 100 times high probability state after the big hit.

<Commands sent from the main control unit>
In the first embodiment, a random number is acquired, a lottery is performed to determine whether to give a notice based on the random number before the start of the fluctuation based on the random number, and the lottery result is transmitted to the sub-control unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a random number may be acquired, a jackpot lottery may be performed based on the random number before the start of fluctuation based on the random number, and the lottery result may be transmitted to the sub-control unit. In this case, in addition to the jackpot lottery result, information such as the number of rounds, fluctuation in probability, and the state of the usual figure after the jackpot may be added. Moreover, you may transmit such information to a sub control part whenever a special figure changes. Further, these pieces of information may be transmitted to the sub-control unit and output from the external information terminal board to an external device such as a hall computer.

<Production contents>
In the first embodiment, the notice notification lottery is performed when the probability change occurs, and when the notice notification is won, the notice notification command is transmitted to the sub-control unit. May send a notice notification command. By doing in this way, 100% notice notification is executed, lottery data and a lottery program are not required, and at least one of reduction of work man-hours, compression of memory capacity or reduction of processing load is performed. Can be achieved.

  In addition, as a notice of notice, changes in the mode of the hold display (the lamp color changes from red to blue when elected, etc.), changes in the background image of the image display device (such as the blue sky background becomes sunset) Also good.

  In addition, when there are two or more jackpots in the holding ball, a notice to indicate that there are two or more jackpots (for example, a display such as “I hit two times” on the image display device) may be performed. However, the lottery probability of two or more jackpot notices may be made different depending on which special figure is hit. Furthermore, the lottery probability of two or more jackpot notices may be made different depending on which special figure is hit by the special figure and the probability state of the usual figure.

  For example, if there is one jackpot for the reserved ball in Special Figure 2 and one jackpot for the special ball in Special Figure 1, two or more jackpots in the high probability state of the ordinary figure than in the low probability state of the ordinary figure You may make it not perform the notice alerting which suggests that there exists. Here, conversely, if a warning notification is made to indicate that there is a jackpot of 2 or more in the normal figure high probability state than in the normal figure low probability state, the player will receive a special figure 2 jackpot. Recognizing that there is no big hit on the reserved ball of Special Figure 1 because no notice was made to suggest that there was a big jackpot of 2 or more, and after the big hit of Special Figure 2 is over, If there is, there is a case where it is stopped to digest the number of reserved balls shown in FIG.

  In addition, when there is a single jackpot on the reserved ball of Special Figure 2 and there is a single jackpot on the special ball of Special Figure 1, it shifts to the normal high probability state after the big hit of the reserved ball of Special Figure 2 ends. In such a case, it may be possible not to perform the notice notification that suggests that there is a jackpot of 2 or more than in the case of not shifting to the normal high probability state. If after the jackpot due to the fluctuation based on the jackpot holding ball in the special figure 2 is in a low probability state, even if it is notified that the big hit in the special figure 1 is informed, it is difficult to enter the special figure 2, so the stop hit game is not performed . However, if it is in a high-probability state after the jackpot due to the fluctuation based on the jackpot reservation ball in FIG. 2, if it is informed that the jackpot is hit in FIG. 1, it is stopped when it is recognized that there is no notification. There is a case.

  In addition, when the notice effect is performed for a predetermined time, and the lottery result notification time of other lotteries until the lottery that triggered the notice effect is performed is less than the predetermined time when the notice effect is performed. Further, by omitting part of the notice effect, the notice time of the notice effect and the lottery result notice time of another lottery may be combined with the time scale to notify. Fade-in and fade-out may be performed again after the omission. In particular, when the notice effect is performed in a movie or the like, it is preferable to have data in the first half and the second half and fade in the second half movie at a predetermined timing.

  Also, when the notice effect is performed for a predetermined time, and the lottery result notification time for other lotteries until the lottery that triggered the notice effect is performed is longer than the predetermined time for the notice effect. The notification time of the notice effect and the lottery result notification time of other lotteries may be combined with the time scale to notify.

<Return from power interruption>
Further, the sub-control unit may not store the notice information when power is interrupted.

  Further, the main control unit may transmit the advance notice information together with the power-on information when the holding ball has a big hit at the time of return from power interruption.

  During the big hit, it is not necessary to give a notice of notification based on the entrance of the special figure 1. However, if the post-hit end is in a normal high probability state, a notice may be given.

  As a method of not performing the advance notice, the lottery probability may be 0, or the lottery itself may not be performed.

  To summarize this modified example 6, “when a predetermined prize opening is won, the movement probability to the predetermined game area is either the first movement probability or the second movement probability higher than the first movement probability. A movement probability changing means for changing from the above to a second movement probability, a profit amount lottering means for selecting a profit amount of a profit to be given to a player by a lottery when winning the predetermined prize opening, and the predetermined amount Based on the fact that a game ball has passed through a specific game area in the game area, a profit amount giving means for starting to give a profit amount lottered by the profit amount lottery means, and a winning probability for the predetermined start opening A winning probability selecting means for selecting one of the first winning probability and a second winning probability higher than the first winning probability, and the profit amount lottery before the profit amount giving means gives a profit. The lottery result of the means is a specific result And a notice notifying means for notifying at a predetermined notice probability, wherein the notice notice means indicates the notice probability of notice notice when the winning probability selecting means selects the second winning probability. A gaming machine characterized by having a probability lower than the notice probability of notice notice when the probability selection means selects the first winning probability. "become.

(Modification 7)
If the variable time can be changed depending on whether or not the continuous notice (including continuous false notice) is won, the continuous notice will be separated from the variable game subject to the continuous notice. It is possible to feel more expectation than necessary for fluctuations during notification, and some players may feel emotional and paralyze self-control and consume more money than necessary. For this reason, even when winning the continuous notice notice, if it is not the winning variable game, it is necessary to refer to the variable time lottery table when the continuous notice notice is not won. However, in such a game machine, there is a problem that the continuity of the continuous notice may be lost when a long variation time is selected for the start timing of the continuous notice.

  The means for solving this problem is “a game stand having a game board with a predetermined winning opening, and when a game ball wins the predetermined winning opening, a profit is given to the player. A lottery means for selecting a profit amount, and a lottery result notifying means (symbol changing means) for notifying a lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means when a predetermined notification start condition (such as the symbol is not changing) is established. And a notification time lottery means for lottering the notification time of the lottery result notification means, and a prior notice for suggesting that the lottery result is a specific result before the predetermined notification start condition is established. A notice notification control means for controlling to perform with probability, wherein the notice notification control means notifies the case where the lottery result of the notice time lottery means is the first result and the first result. Second result with a long time In the case, the amusement machine than the second result towards the first result, wherein the high start probability of the notice informing. "become.

  By doing so, it is possible to provide a game table that prevents a decrease in the interest of the game.

  In the case of a loss, it is not necessary to notify the advance notice.

(Modification 8)
If the change time can be changed depending on whether or not the advance notice (including false advance notice) is won, the change during the advance notice will be changed separately from the variable game subject to the advance notice. In contrast, it was possible to get more expectation than necessary, and some players were feeling high and paralyzed and self-control was paralyzed, and more money was consumed than necessary. For this reason, even if the notice notification is won, if it is not the winning variable game, it is necessary to refer to the variable time lottery table when the notice notice is not won. However, in such a game stand, since it is not possible to change the fluctuation time even for the variable game that is the target of the gasse notice when the gasse notice is given, the fluctuation that is the subject of the important notice There was a possibility that the player's expectation could not be felt and the interest of the game was reduced.

  The means for solving the above-mentioned problem is: “A game stand having a game board with a predetermined winning opening, and when a game ball wins the predetermined winning opening, a profit is given to the player. The first winning combination (big win), the second winning combination (small winning) that is less profitable to the player than the first winning combination, and the third winning combination (losing) that does not give a profit to the player ) And a lottery means for selecting a profit amount to be given to the player by lottery, and a lottery performed by the lottery means when a predetermined notification start condition (such as the symbol is not changing) is established. A lottery result notifying means (symbol changing means) for notifying the lottery result, and a notice notification indicating that the lottery result is the first winning combination before the predetermined notification start condition is established. A notice / informing control means for controlling In preparation for the above, the notice notification control means controls so that a false notice notice suggesting that the player has won the first winning combination is performed at a predetermined probability when the lottery result is not the first winning combination. The game table is characterized in that the notice probability of the false notice notice is higher when the lottery result is the second winning combination than when the lottery result is the third winning combination. "become.

  In addition, “the game table characterized in that the second winning combination is a small hit that does not shift to the special figure high probability state or the normal figure high probability state based on the winning”.

  Further, “the game stand characterized in that the false notice of notice is a false continuous notice of notice given over a predetermined number of games. It may be.

  Furthermore, “the notice notification control means determines the number of times that the false continuous notice notification is performed over a predetermined number of games in the second winning combination rather than the case where the lottery result is the third winning combination. A gaming table characterized by a higher probability of selecting a greater number of times in some cases. It may be.

  By doing so, it is possible to provide a game table that prevents a decrease in the interest of the game.

  In the case of a loss, it is not necessary to notify the advance notice.

(Other changes)
The following are one-off limitations. The limitation is that, in a game machine having a start opening, there is a winning storage section for storing a predetermined number of game balls won in the starting opening, and one or more winning storages in the winning storage section. In addition, the lottery means for drawing the profit amount to be given to the player, the lottery result notifying means for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, and before the lottery result is notified, A game table equipped with a notice device that provides notice information including notice information that makes the player expect that the result is advantageous to the player at a predetermined notice probability. You may apply to Example 1 and you may apply to the said modification.

  First, “The notice notice means that the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning of the special figure 1 during the jackpot will be in a high probability state after the jackpot, if the usual figure is in a low probability state after the jackpot. It may be done with a higher probability than the case. This is because the player is unlikely to be hit by a player when the jackpot is in a low probability state.

  In addition, when the jackpot is confirmed before the winning at the time when the special figure 1 is won, the notice notifying means notifies the lottery of the notice of the lottery result after the jackpot game. In this case, the game may be performed with a higher probability than when the normal game is in a high probability state after the jackpot game. This is because the player is unlikely to be hit by a player when the jackpot is in a low probability state.

  In addition, the “notice notification means is the first lottery that works more disadvantageously after the lottery is executed than when the lottery is executed when there is a prize at a specific starting port and the lottery of the winning result is executed. The notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the result may be performed at a lower probability than the second lottery result that works more advantageously than the first lottery result ”. For example, if a 2R timeless big hit is drawn during the probability change, the player's interest will be reduced by notifying the advance notice. In addition, the first lottery result that acts disadvantageously includes “the lottery result for changing the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state”.

  In addition, the “notice notification means is the first lottery that works more disadvantageously after the lottery is executed than when the lottery is executed when there is a prize at a specific starting port and the lottery of the winning result is executed. The notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the result may be performed with a higher probability than the second lottery result that works more favorably than the first lottery result ”. For example, when a 2R timeless big hit is drawn during the probability change, the player will recognize that the special figure high probability state will end in advance by giving a notice of advance notice, and the game will end suddenly. May be able to alleviate sudden irritation. In addition, the first lottery result that acts disadvantageously includes “the lottery result for changing the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state”.

  Further, “a first start port, a second start port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state, and a first start port, A third prize opening that is harder to win than the start opening, and the notice notifying means notifies the first start opening or the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on winning in the third prize opening. It is characterized by having a higher probability than the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on winning at the second starting opening ”, so that the third starting opening that rarely wins ( It is possible to increase the interest of the player's game by notifying the player with a high probability of winning a prize (called a VIP start opening).

  In addition, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state. , Storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port, and storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the second starting port; When the storage unit stores one or more winning prizes, the lottery means for lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player, and the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, The lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the start opening in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening, and notifying the lottery result. Before, the lottery result is advantageous to the player A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including notice information that makes the player expect the result to be a fruit with a predetermined notice probability, and the notice notifying unit is configured such that the second starting port is in the difficult-to-win state. The lottery means provides a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening in the lottery, and the lottery means draws the profit from the difficult winning state by drawing the profit amount in the winning to the second starting opening. The probability of selecting the lottery result to be in the easy state is lower than the probability of selecting the lottery result from the difficult to win state to the easy to win state by lottery of the profit amount in the winning to the first start opening By “being characteristic”, if you have 4 suspensions in Special Figure 1 during the low probability of usual figure and notice notification has not started, you won the jackpot that will trigger the transition to high probability in Special Figure 2 Stop after the jackpot Because there is a fear Chiosa is, jackpot with special symbol 2 is likely to be time reduction has to be lower than the possibility that a time reduction in the jackpot special symbol 1. It should be noted that “the lottery means does not have to make the winning easy state from the difficult to win state by lottery of the profit amount in the winning to the second starting port”.

  In addition, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state. , Storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port, and storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the second starting port; When the storage unit stores one or more winning prizes, the lottery means for lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player, and the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, The lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the start opening in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening, and notifying the lottery result. Before, the lottery result is advantageous to the player A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including the notice information that makes the player expect the result to be a result at a predetermined notice probability, and the notice notifying unit includes a lottery result based on a winning at the first start opening. It may be characterized by notifying the notice of the lottery based on the winning to the second starting port without notifying the notice ". If there is 4 suspensions in Special Figure 1 during the usual low probability and the notice notification has not started, and if you win a jackpot that triggers the transition to the high probability in Special Figure 2, stop after the jackpot ends Since there is a risk of being hit, the jackpot notice is not given at the first special figure starting port, and the jackpot notice is given at the second special figure starting point. In addition, “the advance notice unit notifies the advance notice of the lottery result based on the winning to the first starting port in the easy winning state, and the lottery result based on the winning to the second starting port in the easy winning state. The notification of the lottery result based on the winning to the first starting port in the difficult to win state is notified to the second starting port in the difficult to win state. It may be controlled to have a lower probability than the notice of a lottery result based on a prize ”.

  In addition, “the notice notification unit may notify that the lottery result is a specific result”. The final announcement is not to simply suggest the lottery result, but to notify the lottery result with certainty, for example, a “big hit” is notified by text or voice.

  In addition, “the lottery means the first lottery probability to draw the specific result with a first probability, and the second result with a second probability that is higher than the first probability. And a second lottery probability. The special figure high probability state is a state where a lottery is drawn with a second probability, and the special figure low probability is a lottery with a first probability.

  In addition, “the notice notification unit may perform a fixed notification with a higher probability in the special figure high probability state than in the special figure low probability state”. Since the special figure high-probability state ends immediately, there are cases where the player's game interest is enhanced by making a final announcement rather than making a series of advance notices.

  Further, “the start port may be a general start port”, and “the first start port and the second start port may be a first general start port and a second general start port”. .

  In addition, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state. , Storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port, and storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the second starting port; When the storage unit stores one or more winning prizes, the lottery means for lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player, and the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, The lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the start opening in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening, and notifying the lottery result. Before, the lottery result is advantageous to the player A first notification unit that includes a predetermined notification probability, and includes a first control unit including the lottery unit and the advance notification person, and the first control unit. And a second control unit provided with a notice notification execution means for executing the notice notification in response to a notice command from the control unit. First, even if “the second control unit discards or does not receive the notice command when the first control part transmits a notice command to the second control part in the easy winning state” Good. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the first special figure start opening winning in the normal figure high probability state. Further, “the second control unit is characterized in that the advance notice notification execution means indicates that the advance notice notification is being executed, and that the advance notice notification is being executed when the advance notice is being executed”. Also good. Since the second control unit (for example, the sub-control unit) often has a more complicated program capacity and data capacity than the first control unit (for example, the main control unit), the first control unit in the usual high probability state is used. There is a risk of requesting a prior notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the drawing start winning prize not to be understood by a certification body (such as a maintenance association) prior to shipment. For this reason, if the second controller is provided with an LED or the like that is always lit while the notice is being given, it can be surely notified that the notice is being executed. The notification during the advance notification may be performed by the first control unit.

  In addition, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state. , Storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port, and storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the second starting port; When the storage unit stores one or more winning prizes, the lottery means for lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player, and the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, The lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the start opening in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening, and notifying the lottery result. Before, the lottery result is advantageous to the player A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including notice information that makes the player expect to be a fruit at a predetermined notice probability, and the notice notifying unit notifies other lottery result notifications until the lottery result is notified. When the time is the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting port when the second starting port is in the easy winning state, the second starting port is The probability of selecting the lottery table for the notification time when no notice notification is performed is higher than in the case of the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting port in the case where it is difficult to win a prize. It may be a feature. The notice of other lottery results until the notice of the lottery results is made open for a long time is included in the notice notice.

  In addition, “in a game stand having a start opening, when there is a winning storage section for storing a predetermined number of winning game balls at the starting opening, and when the winning storage section has one or more winning storages, A lottery means for performing a lottery of a profit amount to be given to the player, a lottery result notifying unit for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, and the lottery result is advantageous for the player before notifying the lottery result. A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including notice information that makes the player expect a result to be a predetermined result at a predetermined notice probability, and includes a first control unit that includes the lottery means and the notice notifier, A second control unit provided with a notice notification executing means for executing the notice notification in response to a notice command from the first control unit, and the first control unit is connected to the second control unit. Even after sending the advance notice, the predetermined conditions Continues to hold the information about the notice command until satisfied, it may be characterized "to retransmit the notice instruction when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the “information relating to the notice command” includes information transmitted as the notice command and information on the contents of the notice command (information on the result of the notice lottery). In this way, for example, when a power interruption occurs, even if the notice information disappears, the sub-control unit can reliably notify the notice by transmitting the notice information when the power is restored. .

  In the above modification, the notice notification execution means is a liquid crystal display device (variable display device), but is not limited thereto, and the notice notification can be executed by any notification device such as a speaker or a lamp.

  In addition, as a difference between big hit and small hit, it is a big hit that there is a possibility of shifting to a state advantageous to the player at the end of the operation, and a small hit is not shifting to a state advantageous to the player at the end of the operation Can be mentioned.

  Further, the number of times of opening of the big winning opening based on the predetermined jackpot may be the same as the number of opening of the big winning opening based on the predetermined small winning.

  Further, the length of time for opening the big prize opening based on one predetermined jackpot may be substantially the same as the length of time for opening the big prize opening based on one predetermined small jackpot.

In addition, when repeating the opening and closing of the big prize opening based on a predetermined jackpot and a predetermined jackpot, the length of the total opening time may be substantially the same.
In addition, the length of time may be substantially the same when the length of time is less than the time required from when the door of the grand prize opening receives a game ball until it is detected that a prize has been won at the big prize opening.

  In addition, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state. , Storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the first starting port, and storing a predetermined number of game balls won at the second starting port; When the storage unit stores one or more winning prizes, the lottery means for lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player, and the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, The lottery result notifying means for giving a notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the start opening in preference to the notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting opening, and notifying the lottery result. Before, the lottery result is advantageous to the player A notice notifying unit that performs notice notification including notice information that causes the player to expect the result to be a result with a predetermined notice probability, and the notice notifying unit is configured such that the winning storage unit has a game at the first start opening. The first in the case where a predetermined number of 1 or more is stored that the ball has won, and the same number as in the first starting port is stored that the gaming ball has been won in the second starting port. When the second start port is in the difficult easy state, the lottery lottery result based on the winning to the first start port is notified, and the second start port is in the difficult to win state. It may be characterized in that it is performed at a higher notice probability than the notice notice of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the starting port of 1 ”. In other words, when there are the same number of suspensions in the first special figure start opening and the second special figure start opening, the notice notification based on winning the first special figure start opening is won in the second special figure start opening. It is higher than the previous notice. Accordingly, since the lottery based on the winning of the second special figure starting port is preferentially performed, the notice notification based on the winning of the first special figure starting port is more than the notice notice based on the winning of the second special figure starting port. It is possible to give a notice for a long time, and to enhance the interest of the game. In addition, there may be a case where the special drawing 2 lottery is interrupted in the middle, and from this point of view, the notice notification based on the winning of the first special figure starting port is longer than the notice notification based on the winning of the second special figure starting port. Time notice can be made.

  The lottery result notifying time lottery means for lottery of the lottery result notification time performed by the lottery result notifying means, wherein the lottery result notifying time lottery means includes the first time and the first time. The lottery is performed from any one of the long second times, and the notice notification means starts another notice until the lottery that triggers the notice effect is performed. When the lottery result notifying time lottery means the first time as the lottery result notifying time, the notice notification is continued even after the lottery result notifying based on the first time is finished, and the lottery result notifying is continued. When the time lottery draws the second time, the notice notification may be ended after the lottery result notification based on the second time is ended. Thereby, the end of the notice effect can be ended with an effect that maximizes the interest of the player, such as super reach. In particular, “the advance notice is a false notice, and if the notice is a notice, the notice of the lottery result based on the second time may be continued even after the repair is performed” may be used. .

  In the first embodiment, when the main control unit transmits the advance notice information to the sub control unit, and the sub control unit receives the advance notice information from the main control unit, the advance notice is performed if no advance notice is currently being provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub-control unit may perform a lottery to determine whether or not to perform the notification effect after receiving the notification information from the main control unit.

  In the first embodiment, when the sub-control unit receives the advance notice information from the main control unit, the sub-control unit performs the advance notice unless the advance notice is currently being performed. When the notification is being executed, the notification notification indicating that the notification notification has been executed may be further performed. In this case, it is desirable to make notification so that it is clear which lottery is based on which notice notification is being made. For example, in the case where two notices, ie, hold 3 in FIG. 1 and hold 2 in FIG. This may be done by introducing a notice character.

  In order to start the notice notification based on the other lottery winning lottery while the notice notification started based on the lottery winning lottery, it is common for all other than the lottery result of the lottery winning jackpot to be held last. It may be a condition that it is not a big hit that does not shift to the probability state.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the sub-control unit performs the advance notification, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the main control unit may perform the advance notification. For example, a sense of expectation may be obtained by changing the lighting color of the hold lamp LED.

  In addition, in the second lottery result notification time, which is expressed to the effect that there is a first lottery result notification time and a second lottery result notification time, and the second lottery result notification time is longer, Super reach may be performed.

  Also, a plurality of small hits may be provided, and the specific big hit may be the same as the specific big win and the symbol variation lottery table (a table for selecting reach from multi-line reach, etc.). Small hits that are not specific hits may be different.

  Further, for example, a small hit may be provided. Small wins are drawn separately from big wins or misses according to the special figure 1 winning random number described below, and when winning, the attacker will only open for 1R and will not enter the normal high probability state or special high probability state It refers to things. There may be one or more small winning symbols corresponding to the small hits, but when multiple small hitting symbols are provided, the small hits are separate from the special figure 1 lottery random value or the special figure 2 random lottery values described later. When the symbol random number value is acquired in the winning acceptance process, and the small winning symbol is won in the special symbol 1 symbol lottery processing or the special symbol 2 symbol lottery processing, the small bonus symbol is determined based on the small bonus symbol random value. Also good. In addition, when winning a small hit, a timer number selection table dedicated to small hits may be provided as the timer number selection table described above, and the hit flag is off for the variation time selected by the small hit dedicated timer number selection table. In this case, the variation time longer than the variation time selected in the normal number low probability timer number selection table or the general high probability timer number selection table may be selected. In addition, when multiple small hit symbols are provided, one of the small hit symbols may be selected more easily than the other small hit symbol, and may be selected more easily. When a random number value won by the first small winning symbol is received in the winning acceptance process, the second small winning symbol whose variation time is shorter than the first small winning symbol is likely to be selected. The probability that the continuous notice is performed may be higher than the case where the random number value won is received in the prize receiving process. 2R jackpot (no time saving) was chosen as the opening time or opening mode of the big prize winning opening when the second jackpot symbol is easy to be selected when the variation time is shorter than the first jackpot symbol The opening time or the opening mode may be similar so that the case and the player cannot be distinguished from each other (the opening time or the opening mode may be the same).

  Further, the attention attracting operation performed by the attention diverting means may be an indication of pressing the chance button. For example, the player's attention may be concentrated on the chance button by displaying “Press the chance button” on the image display during the pseudo symbol display period. Further, the attention attracting operation may be an effect performed when the chance button is pressed.

  In this embodiment, in S2115, the symbol is determined based on the number of rounds and whether or not there is a certain change. However, the symbol is drawn, and the number of rounds and whether or not there is a certain change is determined based on the lottery result of the symbol. You may make it do.

  Moreover, you may make it make the timing of the reduction | decrease of the hold | maintenance of the number-of-holds displayed on the decoration design display part differ from the special figure hold lamp. For example, the decrease timing of the hold number display displayed on the decorative symbol display unit may be slightly later than the decrease in the hold number display, such as one second after the symbol change start command is received.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the change in the special figure 2 is performed with priority over the special figure 1, but the invention is not limited to this, and the fluctuation may be performed in the order of winning, or the special figure 2 and the special figure 1 may be performed. These changes may be performed in parallel. In particular, when the fluctuations of the special figure 2 and the special figure 1 are performed in parallel, a notification device that notifies other symbols may perform a notification to attract attention as the attention attracting operation. For example, when the special figure 2 and the special figure 1 are variably displayed by different decorative symbol displays, when the pseudo continuous variation is performed in the special figure 2, the decorative symbol display of the special figure 1 is displayed within the pseudo symbol display period. “Attention!” Or the like may be displayed as an attention attracting notification.

  In addition, as a method of giving priority to the fluctuation of the special figure 2 over the special figure 1, when the special figure 2 is changed in a state where there is no hold in the special figure 2, the special figure 2 has won a prize. Alternatively, the fluctuation of the special figure 1 may be interrupted, the fluctuation of the special figure 2 may be performed, and the fluctuation of the special figure 1 may be resumed after the fluctuation of the special figure 2. In this case, in particular, when the lottery by the second special figure starting opening prize is more advantageous than the first special figure starting opening prize, the drawing of the special figure 1 is stopped and the special drawing 2 is used. By performing the lottery, it is possible to provide a symbol variation that is more advantageous to the player.

  In this embodiment, the attention attracting operation is always performed in the case of the pseudo continuous notice, and the attention attracting operation is always performed in the case of the continuous notice. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Even in the case of continuous notice, the attention attracting operation may not necessarily be performed.

  Also, except for the short time, the probability of executing the continuous notice is made higher than the pseudo-continuous notice, and when the attention attracting operation is performed, at least one of the true change start and the true change stop is performed. The probability that the notification content of the notification device that changes the notification content changes may be high.

  Also, during the time reduction, the probability of executing the continuous notice is made lower than the pseudo continuous notice, and when the attention attracting operation is performed, at least one of the true change start and the true change stop is performed. The probability that the notification content of the notification device that changes the notification content does not change may be high. As a result, even if the notification device happens to be seen during the distraction notification, the notification content of the notification device has a high probability of changing, so that the distraction notification in the case of pseudo continuous fluctuation can be more effectively deflected.

  In addition, since pseudo continuous notice can be performed even when there is one hold, it may be superior to continuous notice. On the other hand, the continuous notice has the effect that the symbol variation time per unit time can be shortened because the symbol lottery is performed twice when the same presentation effect as the pseudo-continuous notice is given.

  In addition, the decorative design does not necessarily have to be set with numbers. For example, a skier wearing blue clothes as decoration 1, a skier wearing red clothes as decoration 2, a skier wearing yellow clothes as decoration 3, etc. You may make it alert | report a jackpot or loss by having stopped-displayed in the predetermined | prescribed aspect.

  In addition, the continuous notice and pseudo-continuous notice are the same production, the production of the story is continuous, the production of the same system (the first time the frog appeared from the background waterfall, the second time the frog from the background waterfall Appearance, the third time, a dragon appears from the waterfall in the background, etc.), and the display other than the symbol variation such as the background effect is not interrupted by the true symbol stop or the pseudo symbol stop.

  In addition, if the pseudo continuous notice is performed, the number of fluctuations of the special figure per unit time is reduced, so that the operation is lowered, which is not preferable as a game store. However, the pseudo-continuous notice can be made regardless of the number of holds (even one). Therefore, when the number of holdings is the first value (for example, two), the pseudo continuous fluctuation is likely to be performed instead of being difficult to perform the continuous notice, and the second number in which the number of holdings is smaller than the first value. In the case of a value (for example, four), it is possible to make it difficult for continuous notice to be performed instead of facilitating pseudo continuous variation.

  Further, when the continuous notice is performed, the continuous notice is performed for the value corresponding to the number of suspensions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the continuous notification may be performed for the number of suspensions or less. For example, the continuous notice performed as a false notice effect when there are four holds may be performed only twice. Moreover, it is not necessary to perform all the number of holdings. For example, the continuous notice performed as the notice effect when there are four holds may be performed for the first time, the third time, and the fourth time.

  In addition, when the change of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure start opening prize during the time reduction is not notified, the change of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure start opening prize during the time reduction is pseudo continuous. The fluctuation may not be performed. In addition, the notice notice for the fluctuation of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure starting opening prize during the short time has a lower notice probability than the notice notice for the fluctuation of the special figure 2 based on the second special figure starting opening prize during the short time. In this case, the quasi-continuous fluctuation with respect to the fluctuation of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure starting opening prize during the time reduction is more than the pseudo continuous fluctuation with respect to the fluctuation of the special figure 2 based on the second special figure starting opening prize during the time reduction. The probability may be lowered. In addition, the notice notification for the fluctuation of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure start opening prize during the short time is lower than the notice notice for the fluctuation of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure start opening prize other than the short time. In this case, the quasi-continuous fluctuation for the fluctuation of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure starting opening prize during the time reduction is more pseudo than the pseudo continuous fluctuation for the fluctuation of the special figure 1 based on the first special figure starting opening prize other than the time reduction. The continuous variation probability may be lowered.

  In addition, the notification probability of notice notifications for fluctuations in special figures based on special chart start opening prizes during short hours is lower than the notification probability of notice notices for changes in special figures based on special figure start entry prizes other than during short hours. Also good. This is because the change in time is quicker than that other than during the time, so the player is less likely to be idle, so there is less need to give the player a sense of expectation by a notice. If a quasi-continuous variation is performed at this time, the player can easily recognize that the quasi-continuous variation is caused when attention is not diverted by the distraction alert. The execution probability of the pseudo continuous variation with respect to the variation in the diagram may be lower than the execution probability of the pseudo continuous variation with respect to the variation of the special diagram based on the special drawing start opening prize other than during the short time.

  Further, if the notice probability of the notice notification is high as the number of reservations increases, the notice notice is difficult to be executed when the number of reservations is small due to the balance of effects. For example, when the nail adjustment of a game store is made bad and a lot of reservations are not accumulated, the notice notification becomes difficult to be executed. Even in this case, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the interest of the player's game by performing the pseudo continuous notice by the pseudo continuous variation. That is, when the hold is the first value (one), the notice notification is less likely to be selected than when the hold is the second value (four) greater than the first value, and the hold is the first. In the case of the value of, the pseudo continuous notice may be selected more easily than in the case where the hold is the second value. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to provide a game machine that can easily balance production.

  In addition, the fluctuation pattern which becomes the big hit through the first reach after performing the pseudo continuous fluctuation three times, and the fluctuation pattern which becomes the big hit through the second reach having a longer time than the first reach after performing the pseudo continuous fluctuation twice. , With a quasi-continuous variation once, a variation pattern that is a big hit through the third reach that is longer than the second reach, and a big hit with a fourth reach that is longer than the third reach without performing the quasi-continuous variation If all of these variation patterns have the same variation time and pre-read that this variation pattern was selected at the time of winning the start opening, a continuous notice will be given until this variation pattern is drawn, The variation pattern at the time of the variation pattern lottery may be determined according to the number of continuous notices made before the variation pattern lottery. For example, when three continuous notices are made before the variation pattern lottery, a big hit may be made after one pseudo continuous variation. As described above, when a plurality of variation patterns of the same timer having different numbers of pseudo continuous variations are provided and a variation timer for selecting the variation pattern is selected, the plurality of variation patterns are executed before the lottery is performed. Any variation pattern may be selected according to the number of continuous notices. By doing so, for example, if a big hit is made through a long super reach (the third reach in the above example) after performing pseudo continuous fluctuation four times, a very long fluctuation time is required. The production must be selected at a certain rate in order to enhance the player's interest, but by linking the continuous notice, the proportion of the same production in the same production mode as seen from the player is not reduced. It is possible to prevent the operating rate from being lowered.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit selects a timer number, and the sub-control unit draws a variation pattern with pseudo-continuous variation or a variation pattern without pseudo-continuous variation according to the timer number. Although it was determined, the present invention is not limited to this. The main control unit determines from the time from the start of true fluctuation to the last pseudo-determined display (time determined according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations) and the last pseudo-determined display. The time until the true confirmation display (time for reach fluctuation etc.) is determined separately, and these two fluctuation patterns are output to the sub-control section so that they can be identified. The sub-control section is based on the input from this main control section. Thus, a variation pattern with pseudo continuous variation may be determined. For example, if the main control unit receives a fluctuation timer that performs two pseudo-continuous fluctuation timers and multi-line reach, the sub-control unit starts true fluctuation ⇒ pseudo-notification notice ⇒ pseudo-variation stop ⇒ warning distraction notice ⇒ pseudo Confirmation ⇒ Pseudo-variation start ⇒ Pseudo-notice notification ⇒ Pseudo-variation stop ⇒ Distraction notice ⇒ Pseudo-confirmation display ⇒ Pseudo-variation start ⇒ Multi-line reach ⇒ True variation stop ⇒ Bonus .

  Also, when the variation pattern is pre-read and it is determined that the number of times of pseudo continuous variation is the predetermined number of times of pseudo continuous variation as the pre-reading result, notification notification or notice distraction notification starts based on the number of times of pseudo continuous variation You may make it determine a time. For example, if the fourth variation pattern for holding is looked ahead and the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations is two, and there are four holding balls, the continuous notice is started from the second holding ball. Also good. In this case, true start ⇒ true stop ⇒ true confirmation display (first time) ⇒ true start ⇒ advance notice ⇒ true stop ⇒ notice distraction notice ⇒ true confirmation display (second time) ⇒ true start ⇒ notice notice ⇒ true stop ⇒ notice distraction notice ⇒ True confirmation display (third time) ⇒ True start ⇒ Pseudo advance notice ⇒ Pseudo stop notice ⇒ Pseudo definite display ⇒ Pseudo start ⇒ Pseudo notice notice ⇒ Pseudo fluctuation stop ⇒ Notice deviate notice ⇒ Pseudo confirmation display ⇒ Pseudo start ⇒ Pseudo Notice announcement ⇒ Multiline reach ⇒ True change stop ⇒ Big hit. In addition, the notification start timing of the notice effect may be started from a change before a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 4 times) from the pre-read pseudo continuous change count.

  Further, the “notification device” here is not limited to the notification device itself, and may be a predetermined display area in the notification device. For example, when the notification device is a decorative symbol display and the number of reserved symbols is displayed in the display area, attention may be diverted from the display of the number of reserved symbols.

  In addition, during the pseudo continuous variation, the hold display in the decorative design may be erased. As described above, during pseudo continuous fluctuation, when at least one of the true fluctuation start and the true fluctuation stop is performed, a notification device whose notification content changes or a predetermined display area in the notification device is shielded or made inconspicuous. By doing so, the distraction notice may be performed more effectively.

  Further, a shorter variation may be selected as the number of reserved balls at the start of the variation increases.

  Further, the distraction notice may be performed without notice.

  In addition, the variation time may be determined based on the number of symbol fluctuations performed before the prize-held hold at the time of winning and the number of balls held at the start of the fluctuation. For example, when there are three holds before the winning hold when winning, the number of symbol fluctuations is set to three, and the number is stored. Then, at the start of the winning variation, the symbol variation pattern may be selected based on the number of symbol variation three times and the number of holds (for example, three).

  Further, the pseudo-determined display period and the true-determined display period may or may not include immediately after the start of change. Immediately after the start of fluctuation is, for example, while the symbol fluctuation is accelerating.

  Further, when performing pseudo continuous fluctuations twice or more, the pseudo advance notice may not be performed at least once from the true start to the pseudo stop or from the pseudo start to the pseudo stop. The one time may be a pseudo stop from a true start. Further, even when the pseudo notice is not performed, the distraction notice may be performed after the pseudo stop at that time.

  In addition, when the symbol variation of the special figure 2 interrupts during the continuous notice in the special figure 1, one or both of the notice effect and the distraction notice may not be performed in the symbol fluctuation of the special figure 2.

  In addition, “the game ball includes a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on the winning of the game once, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display for each lottery. A symbol that is displayed once and represents a symbol representing the result of the lottery as a final symbol, and the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on the fact that the lottery has won first is displayed as a final symbol. The lottery based on the fact that the prize was won later is put on hold until the end of the variable display. Further, before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery, the lottery results in what kind of lottery result. And a notice notification determining means for notifying the player that the result of the lottery is a specific result, and when the notice notification determining means determines that the notice notification is performed. Judgment It relates characterized "game machine further comprising a notice informing means for performing the announcement notification before true determine display the symbol as a defined symbol representing the result of. In addition, although the modified example further demonstrated from here is not restricted to the example which changed the said Example, what can be applied to the said Example shall be applied.

(Modification A)
A conventional game stand with continuous notices has a monotonous effect that is given during the game by giving a continuous notice that the lottery result for a specific lottery that is on hold is expected to be advantageous to the player. Prevented the interest of the fall. However, since there has been no continuous notice that the player is determined to be disadvantageous, a lottery result that is disadvantageous for the player (for example, 2R that shifts to a low probability of a special figure during a high probability of a special figure) There was no continuous notice of jackpots). For this reason, when the special figure high probability state ends unexpectedly, the player will feel a sudden transition from the special figure high probability state to the special figure low probability state, feel frustrated, and the interest of the game will decline was there. On the other hand, the following solution is proposed. That is,
“Based on the fact that the game ball wins once at the start opening, it has lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display once for each lottery. The symbol representing the result of the lottery is displayed as a confirmed symbol, and the lottery means displays the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on winning first as a symbol for the symbol variation display. The lottery based on the fact that the prize has been won is put on hold until the game ends, and the lottery results before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery means A determination is made when a notice notification determining means for making a notice that the player predicts that the result of the lottery is a specific result, and when the notice notification determining means determines that the notice notification is performed. Result of lottery Notice information means for performing the notice notice before the symbol representing the symbol is displayed as a confirmed figure, and the notice notice determining means indicates that the lottery result is a disadvantageous result for the player. It may be a “game table characterized by performing a notice to be predicted by a person”.

  In this way, the player is not disadvantaged in advance by not only notifying the player that the result is an advantageous lottery result, but also by causing the player to predict that the result is an unfavorable lottery result. You can predict that it ’s a bad result, and you ’ll be prepared for an adverse result, so you can lessen the shock of an adverse result than if a sudden negative result comes, It is possible to prevent the low interest of the game due to the shock of an unfavorable result.

  An unfavorable result means that, for example, when the gaming state is a special figure high probability state, a prize ball due to a jackpot can hardly be obtained (for example, 2R jackpot), and the special figure is low after the jackpot ends. This is a case where a transition is made to a probability state. In such a case, for example, if a lottery of 2R jackpot (no special figure high probability state transition) is made at the time of the fourth hold to be drawn four times later, as the production, the result of the first lottery result In the display, the picture of the bomb written as “4” is displayed on the liquid crystal display. In the display of the second lottery result, the picture of the bomb written as “3” is displayed on the liquid crystal display, and the third lottery. In the result display, a picture of the bomb written as “2” is displayed on the liquid crystal display, and in the display of the 4th lottery result, which is a notification of the lottery result of the 2R jackpot (no special figure high probability state transition) The picture of the bomb written as “1” is displayed on the liquid crystal display and the change of the pattern is started. Before the design is confirmed, the picture of the bomb written as 0 is displayed and then the bomb is displayed to explode. After the 2R jackpot is made, the gaming state is set to a special figure low probability state. By doing in this way, the player can predict in advance that the lottery that will end the special figure high probability state has been made, so the shock due to the sudden termination of the special figure high probability state is eased, It is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the player's game. In addition, it corresponds to a notice of notice for allowing the player to predict that it is an unfavorable lottery result to display bomb pictures continuously.

  It should be noted that any configuration may be used as long as the gaming state becomes a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than the current gaming state regardless of the number of rounds. For example, even when the gaming state is a special figure high probability state, even if a 15R jackpot (no special figure high probability state transition) is won, a notice notification may be made to predict the player to be an unfavorable lottery result. Good.

  In addition, when the gaming state is a normal high-probability gaming state, a notice notification is made to allow the player to predict that the result will be an unfavorable lottery result even if the gaming state wins a jackpot to shift to the normal low-probability gaming state. You may go.

  In addition, the notice notification for allowing the player to predict that the result is an unfavorable lottery result may be performed when the unfavorable lottery result is not actually obtained. For example, when bomb pictures are continuously displayed, “1” does not have to be displayed when a lottery result is notified after the bomb picture is displayed as “2”. By doing so, the player pays attention to the display of the lottery result with a wish that it is not an unfavorable lottery result, and the interest in the game can be increased, and the interest in the game is also improved.

  In addition, the notice notification determination means also performs a notice notification that causes the player to predict that the lottery result is an advantageous lottery result for the player, and predicts that the lottery result is an advantageous lottery result. The notice notification that predicts that the result is an unfavorable lottery result may be made in such a manner that the player looks like the same until the lottery performs the lottery. For example, in the example of displaying a picture of a bomb on a liquid crystal display, even when a notice notification is made to predict that a lottery result is advantageous to the player, the above-mentioned “4”, “3”, “2” The picture of the bomb is displayed and the player feels uneasy, and the symbol variation that informs the lottery results displays “1” and displays as if the bomb explodes. ”Is displayed, and a lottery result advantageous to the player is displayed.

  Note that the game state may be notified by any of the notification devices so that the game state can be understood. For example, “Normal game” or “Probability fluctuation game” may be displayed on the liquid crystal display.

(Modification B)
In addition, a game machine having the following configuration is provided for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game compared to conventional game machines. That is, “the game ball includes a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on a winning once at the start opening, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display for each lottery. A symbol that is displayed once and represents a symbol representing the result of the lottery as a final symbol, and the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on the fact that the lottery has won first is displayed as a final symbol. The lottery based on the fact that the prize was won later is put on hold until the end of the variable display. Further, before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery, the lottery result will be the lottery result. And a notice notification determining means for notifying the player that the result of the lottery is a specific result, and when the notice notification determining means determines that the notice notification is performed. Judgment Prior notice means for performing the advance notice before the symbol representing the lottery result is displayed as a definite symbol, and the notice means changes the BGM until the result of the lottery is truly displayed. It may be a “game table characterized by providing a notice of notice”.

  The BGM notice notification changes the BGM over a plurality of lottery result notices until the lottery result of the lottery subject to the notice notice is performed based on the fact that the notice notice determination means decides to notify the notice. Is.

  Note that the BGM that changes over the lottery result notification of multiple lotteries is the lottery result of the lottery subject to the notice of notice by increasing the tempo or increasing the volume each time the lottery result is notified. An expectation may be given to the notification.

  Further, the BGM that changes over the notification of the lottery results of a plurality of lotteries may be reproduced without interruption.

(Modification C)
In addition, a game machine having the following configuration is provided for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game compared to conventional game machines. That is, “the game ball includes a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on a winning once at the start opening, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display for each lottery. A symbol that is displayed once and represents a symbol representing the result of the lottery as a final symbol, and the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on the fact that the lottery has won first is displayed as a final symbol. The lottery based on the fact that the prize was won later is put on hold until the end of the variable display. Further, before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery, the lottery result will be the lottery result. And a notice notification determining means for notifying the player that the result of the lottery is a specific result, and when the notice notification determining means determines that the notice notification is performed. Judgment A notice notifying means for notifying the notice before the symbol representing the result of the lottery as a confirmed symbol is displayed, and the notice notifying means determines that the notice notice determining means performs the notice notice; In addition, when the notice notification determining means does not determine that the notice notification is performed, the fixed display time from when the symbol variation display is truly confirmed until the next symbol variation display is started is made different. It may be a “game table characterized by that”.

  By making the true confirmation display time when the notice notification is performed different from the true confirmation display time when the notice notification is not performed, the player is given a sense of incongruity and the degree of attention to the production is increased. it can. The notice notification itself may be such that the true confirmation display time when the notice notification is performed is different from the true confirmation display time when the notice notification is not performed.

  It should be noted that the fact that the true confirmation display time when the notice notification is performed is different from the true confirmation display time when the notice notification is not performed is, specifically, when the notice notification is performed. The true confirmation display time is set to 4 seconds, the true confirmation display time is set to 3 seconds when the notice notification is not performed, etc. In this case, the true definite display time is selected from the first true definite display time lottery table, and the true definitive display time in the case of not performing the notice notification is selected from the second true definite display time lottery table. Then, the first true confirmation display time lottery table and the second true confirmation display time lottery table may have different times or lottery probabilities as the lottery results. In this case, the first true confirmation display time lottery table may make it easier to draw the true confirmation display time shorter than the second true confirmation display time lottery table, and conversely, the first true confirmation display time lottery table. The lottery table may make it easier to draw a true decision display time longer than the second true decision display time lottery table.

  Further, “true confirmation display time” may be replaced with “pseudo confirmation display time”. Further, “true confirmed display time” may be replaced with “true confirmed display time and pseudo confirmed display time”.

(Modification D)
In addition, a gaming table represented by a pachinko machine is configured so that a predetermined profit can be obtained by launching a ball from a launching device and entering a predetermined winning opening provided in a predetermined gaming area. . In such a game machine, a game machine having a so-called continuous notice effect that performs a continuous effect with a plurality of continuous symbol variations is provided. For example, JP2005-111149A. However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, the main side determination is made at the time of detection of the winning at a timing (different determination timing) different from the jackpot determination performed immediately before the start of the symbol combination game based on the winning detection. It is determined whether or not the read jackpot random number value matches the main determination value (notice determination value). Then, it is determined whether or not to notify the notice using the notice determination value. When the advance notice is given, the continuous notice will be started. For example, when the continuous notice is given four times, the game state changes and the jackpot determination result performed immediately before the start of the symbol combination game is different. When it becomes a thing, there is a case where it is required to acquire the notice determination value again, and the processing load may be concentrated. In response, the following solution is proposed. That is,
“Based on the fact that a game ball has won a predetermined winning opening, a count value storage unit that acquires and stores a count value used in a predetermined lottery, and executes a lottery with the count value stored in the count value storage unit And a profit amount lottery unit for drawing a profit amount to be given to a player based on the gaming state at the time of the game, before the profit amount lottery unit draws the profit amount, Based on the count value stored in the count value storage unit and the gaming state, a profit amount preliminary lottery unit that draws in advance a profit amount to be given to the player, and preliminary lottery information that is a lottery result of the profit amount preliminary lottery unit Based on the preliminary lottery information, a preliminary lottery information storage unit for storing a notice to notify the player that the lottery result of the lottery performed by the profit lottery unit is an advantageous result for the player is performed. A notice and notification section; The profit amount preliminary lottery portion draws in advance a profit amount to be given to the player for each of a plurality of gaming states, and the preliminary lottery information storage unit includes a plurality of the preliminary lotteries corresponding to the gaming state Information may be stored, and the notice notification unit may provide the notice notification based on the preliminary lottery information corresponding to the gaming state at the time of executing the notice notice. Good.

  By doing so, it is possible to provide a game machine that can distribute the processing load.

The main control unit acquires and stores a count value used as a random number for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on the fact that the game ball has won at the start opening from a predetermined random number counter, Based on the count value and the plurality of gaming states (for example, the special figure high probability state and the special figure low probability state) that are stored as a result of the lottery, whether or not the lottery based on the count value is a big win The lottery results for each of the states (for example, 15R special big hit if special figure high probability state, lose if special figure low probability state, etc.) are stored in the prior lottery information storage unit. Furthermore, when the lottery of the profit amount is performed and the lottery result is transmitted to the sub-control unit, any one of the preliminary lottery information stored in the preliminary lottery information storage unit based on the gaming state at the time of the lottery is stored. Select and output to the sub-control unit. For example, in the case of a special figure low probability state at the time of lottery, pre-lottery information preliminarily drawn as a special figure low probability state is output. The sub-control unit controls the advance notice based on the received prior lottery information.
For example, when there are three holds, the prior lottery information storage unit stores information on whether or not the inside of the hold in the special low probability gaming state is a big hit (for example, hold 1 is lost, hold 2 is lost, hold 3 is Loss, hold 4 is no hold) and information on whether or not the hold in the special high probability gaming state is a big hit (for example, hold 1 is lost, hold 2 is lost, hold 3 is hit, hold 4 is not held ) Is stored in advance notice information for each of the gaming states. The main control unit outputs the advance notice information for each of the gaming states stored in the prior lottery information storage unit at the start of the change, and at that time, outputs the advance notice information corresponding to the gaming state at that time to the sub control unit. . For example, in the case of the special figure high probability state, the advance notice information for the special figure high probability state stored in the preliminary lottery information storage unit (hold 1 is lost, hold 2 is lost, hold 3 is hit, hold 4 is not held) Is output at the start of fluctuation. The sub-control unit draws a notice effect from the notice effect lottery table when the received notice information includes a hit, and draws a gase notice effect from the gasse notice effect lottery table when no win is included. And a notice effect is performed based on a lottery result. Here, when the sub-control unit performs the continuous announcement that performs the announcement effect over a plurality of fluctuations based on the hit, the notice information received from the main control unit no longer includes the hit (continuous notice When the game state has changed during the game, the sub-control unit stops the execution of the continuous advance notice). Even if the gaming state is changed, the sub-control unit does not stop executing the continuous notice if the notice information includes a hit. In addition, although it described only as "around" here, this place may be any hit mentioned in Example 1. Further, it may be a “hit” only at the 15R special jackpot, and may be “lost”. This “around” or “losing” may be 1-bit information. In this case, “no hold” may be stored in a manner indistinguishable from “losing” (for example, “around” ON, “Lose” and “No hold” are bits off, etc.).

  Note that “the count value storage unit is provided so as to be able to store the count value up to a predetermined number, and the profit amount lottery unit is predetermined when the count value storage unit stores a plurality of count values. It may be a gaming machine characterized in that the profit amount lottery is performed based on the count value stored in the count value storage unit in this order. In a game machine in which a plurality of count values are drawn in a predetermined order, the degree of expectation with respect to a specific symbol variation can be increased in advance by performing a notice for a count value that has not been drawn.

  It should be noted that “comprising at least a first control board having the preliminary lottery information storage unit and at least a second control board having the notice notification unit, wherein the first control board has a front A pre-lottery information output unit is provided that outputs the pre-lottery information corresponding to the gaming state at the time of output from the plurality of pre-lottery information stored in the pre-article lottery information storage unit to the second control board. It may be a “game table characterized by that”. By selecting the prior lottery information according to the gaming state at the time of output, the preliminary lottery information can be output with a simple control structure.

  The “preliminary lottery information storage unit may store the preliminary lottery information with a data capacity smaller than the count value stored in the count value storage unit”. By storing with a small data capacity, the RAM capacity can be reduced. Furthermore, in the configuration in which information is output to another control unit, the number of commands may be reduced.

  The profit amount preliminary lottery unit performs preliminary lottery on the target count value to be acquired and stored when the count value storage unit acquires and stores the count value. It may be a “playing machine”. By acquiring the preliminary lottery information at the time of starting winning, it is possible to acquire the preliminary lottery information in addition to storing the count value in the RAM, and it is not necessary to provide the timing for acquiring the preliminary lottery information again, thereby reducing the processing load. There are cases where it is possible. In addition, by acquiring pre-lottery information for the count value at the time of winning a prize, it may not be necessary to update the pre-lottery information that has already been stored on hold and unnecessary processing may be performed.

  “The count value storage unit acquires and stores a count value used for a predetermined lottery based on the fact that a game ball has won a prize at the first start port and the second start port, and the profit amount The lottery unit performs the lottery of the profit amount based on the winning to the second starting port in preference to the lottery of the profit amount based on the winning to the first starting port. It may be. There are two special charts, and in the game machine in which special figure 2 changes with priority, the fluctuation of special figure 2 is interrupted, so it becomes difficult to grasp the game state at the time of the future lottery. It is desirable to obtain prior lottery information corresponding to a plurality of gaming states.

  Note that, based on a predetermined condition, the profit amount lottery is more disadvantageous for the player than the first game state from the first game state where the profit amount lottery is advantageous for the player. A gaming state changing unit that changes to the gaming state or changes from the second gaming state to the first gaming state, and the gaming state changing unit uses the profit amount lottery unit based on a predetermined reference A gaming machine characterized by changing the gaming state from the second gaming state to the first gaming state when a profit amount lottery is performed a predetermined number of times. Although the gaming state changes when a predetermined number of lotteries are performed, it is not necessary to acquire the prior lottery information while grasping the predetermined number in order to predict a change in the gaming state, thus reducing the processing load. There are cases where it is possible. In particular, in a game machine having a plurality of special figures and special figures 1 and 2, the fluctuation of special figure 2 interrupts, so even if the predetermined number of times is grasped, the future gaming state is predicted. There are cases where it is not possible.

The profit amount lottery unit may be a gaming table that performs a lottery regarding whether or not to win a jackpot based on the count value and the gaming state.
The game table may be “a game table characterized in that a lottery regarding a jackpot stop symbol is performed based on the count value and the gaming state”.

  The lottery result notifying unit for notifying the lottery result of the lottery performed by the profit amount lottery unit, the profit amount lottery unit while the lottery result notifying unit is notifying the lottery result, It may be a “game table characterized by not performing a lottery of profits”.

  The lottery result output unit for outputting the lottery result of the lottery performed by the profit lottery means, and the preliminary lottery information output unit is configured to output the lottery result when the lottery result output unit outputs the lottery result. It may be a “game table characterized by outputting lottery information”.

  Since this change example D is applied when the gaming state changes during the continuous notice, for example, during the continuous notice in the special figure low probability state, the fluctuation of the special figure 2 becomes an interrupt and a special jackpot. Even when the figure becomes a high probability state, the main control unit does not need to acquire the advance notice information again because the special figure high probability state is obtained, and the processing load can be distributed.

(Modification E)
As a method of performing a continuous notice, which is a notice over a plurality of symbol variations, (1) whether a symbol variation is regarded as a plurality of symbol variations within a plurality of symbol variations within a pseudo symbol variation. In the past, there were two types of methods: (2) a method of giving a notice across multiple symbol variations. A method of combining these two types is also conceivable. For example, if there are three holds and a big win is made in the third symbol variation, “Chance” is displayed in the first symbol variation, “Chance” is displayed again in the second symbol variation, and the third time. In the case of the symbol variation of, when “chance” is displayed, pseudo-stop is performed, pseudo-start is displayed after pseudo-fixed display, “chance” is displayed again after pseudo-start, super-reach is performed and jackpot is displayed It is. However, in this case, there is a case where the third symbol variation is sufficiently expected because the continuous notice is given within the first symbol variation and the second symbol variation. It is also considered that there is a low need for seeking an improvement in the expectation of continuous notices due to pseudo continuous fluctuations within the pattern fluctuations. In response to this, the following solutions are proposed. That is,
“Based on the fact that the game ball wins once at the start opening, it starts a true variation that starts the variation of the symbol, and when the determined variation time has elapsed, performs a true variation stop that stops the variation of the symbol, and continues In the gaming machine having a symbol display means for performing a series of symbol variation display from the start of the true variation to the true definite display, performing the true definite display that continues to display the definite symbol for a predetermined time, the symbol display means, In the series of symbol variation display, pseudo variation stop that makes it appear as if the true variation stop has been performed, pseudo confirmed display that makes it appear that the true decision display has been performed, and the start of true variation are performed. A pseudo-symbol display means for executing a pseudo-symbol display in which a pseudo-variation start that appears as if it has been received is performed, and the game ball is attached to the player on the basis that the game ball is won once at the start opening A lottery means for performing a lottery of the profit amount to be performed, wherein the symbol display means performs the symbol variation display once per lottery and displays the symbol representing the result of the lottery as a confirmed symbol. The lottery means suspends the lottery based on winning a prize until the symbol variation display that truly displays the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on winning first as a confirmed symbol is terminated, In addition, before the lottery means the lottery means, the game table determines what kind of lottery result the lottery result becomes, and informs the player that the lottery result is a specific result. Preliminary notification determining means for performing a preliminary notification to be predicted, and the preliminary notification before the symbol representing the result of the lottery determined when the preliminary notification determining means determines to perform the preliminary notification is displayed as a final symbol. Notice display means for performing, when the pseudo symbol display means performs a series of symbol variation display performed after the lottery by the lottery means, the notice notification by the notice notification means for the lottery was performed In this case, it may be a “game table characterized in that the probability that the pseudo symbol display is performed is lower than in the case where the notice notification by the notice notifying means is not performed for the lottery”.

  Further, according to the winning status of the game ball at the start opening, the symbol change display control unit for causing the symbol display means to continuously perform the symbol change display a plurality of times, and before the pseudo change stop is performed. An effect unit that performs a first effect and performs a second effect that is a continuation of the first effect after the start of the pseudo-variation performed after the stoppage of the pseudo-variation is performed, and the effect unit includes two times In the symbol variation display continuously performed as described above, a third effect that is indistinguishable from the first effect is performed for the player before the true variation stop in the symbol variation display performed before the last symbol variation display. And a fourth effect that is indistinguishable from the second effect for the player after the start of the true variation in the symbol variation display performed after the symbol variation display in which the third effect is performed. It may be.

  In this way, if there is a need to increase the expectation, it can be increased, and if it is not necessary to increase the expectation, it cannot be increased, so an appropriate expectation improvement effect can be performed. Can enhance the interest of

  For example, if the third hold is a big hit and a notification is to be given, “chance” is displayed for the first change, and “chance” is displayed for the second change. In the third variation, the pseudo-continuous notice is not selected, and the jackpot is easily displayed through the super reach. On the other hand, when the notice notification is not performed, the fact that the third fluctuation result is a highly expected fluctuation result in both the first fluctuation and the second fluctuation is not notified, and in the third fluctuation, `` Chance '' is displayed, pseudo-stop is performed, pseudo-display is performed, and pseudo-start is performed. After starting, display “chance” again, and then make it easy to display the jackpot through super reach. As for how to make it easy to display, when a notice effect is won, a flag such as a notice effect execution flag is set. When the lottery of the effect that informs that it is a big hit, when the notice effect execution flag is set, from the effect lottery table that is less likely to select the pseudo-continuous notice than when the notice effect execution flag is not set Perform a lottery for pseudo-continuous notice.

  When the notice effect execution flag is set, the pseudo continuous notice may not be performed at all. Specifically, the lottery of the pseudo continuous notice may not be performed.

  Further, when the notice effect execution flag is not set, it is possible to make it easier to display the jackpot due to the developed super reach than when the pseudo continuous notice execution flag is set. Advanced Super Reach is: (1) Character fights (2) Character loses (3) Help character helps (4) Help character wins (5) First super reach that is jackpot, (1) Character fights (2) Character loses (3) Help character helps (4) Help character loses (5) Second help character appears (6) Second help The character wins. (7) There is a second super reach that is a big hit, and when the notice effect execution flag is not set, the second super reach is easily selected. The second super reach has a feature that the reach is developed more than the first super reach.

  Further, full rotation reach may be performed only when the notice effect flag is not set.

  It should be noted that “the pseudo-symbol display means, when performing a series of symbol variation display performed after the lottery means by lottery means, if the notice notification means by the notice notification means has been performed for the lottery, On the other hand, it may be a “game machine characterized in that the probability that the number of times of the pseudo symbol display is reduced is higher than in the case where the advance notice is not given by the advance notice means”. For example, when the notice notification flag is set, an average of one pseudo continuous notice is performed, whereas when the notice notice flag is not set, an average of three pseudo continuous notices are performed. That is.

(Modification Example F)
In addition, a game machine having the following configuration is provided for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game compared to conventional game machines. That is, “the game ball includes a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on a winning once at the start opening, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display for each lottery. A symbol that is displayed once and represents a symbol representing the result of the lottery as a final symbol, and the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on the fact that the lottery has won first is displayed as a final symbol. The lottery based on the fact that the prize was won later is put on hold until the end of the variable display. Further, before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery, the lottery result will be the lottery result. And a notice notification determining means for notifying the player that the result of the lottery is a specific result, and when the notice notification determining means determines that the notice notification is performed. Judgment Prior notice means for giving a notice before the symbol representing the result of the lottery as a confirmed symbol is displayed, a first notice stage for giving the notice in the first form, and a second notice notice in the second form. A game machine characterized by comprising a stage switching means for switching between two notice stages, and may have the following characteristics.

(Modification Example F-1)
“The stage switching means prevents the stage from being switched while the notice notification means performs the notice, and allows the stage to be switched while the notice information does not perform the notice. It may be a “characteristic game stand”. In game machines that perform stage switching lottery based on a predetermined condition such as every change, stage switching lottery is not performed while notice notification is being performed, and stage switching lottery is performed while notice notification is not being performed. If you win, you may switch the stage. Similarly, when the stage is switched by the player's operation, the stage switching operation is not accepted while the notice is being given, and the stage switching operation is accepted while the notice is not being given. Good.

  It should be noted that the stage is an effect stage, and is intended to widen the range of effects, for example, by changing the background or the appearance characters. For example, the first stage is a princess stage (a princess character appears, and if a hit with darts is displayed on the background of the festival, a big win will be given), and the second stage is a samurai stage (grandmother) ) Appeared, and in the background of the castle, if you defeat the sneak into the hall, you will reach a big win). Because the stage selection lottery table is different for each stage, the conditions for selecting the stage are different (the first condition is the princess stage, the second condition is the samurai stage, etc.), the stage making up the stage is selected or lottery In addition, a plurality of stages can be provided by selecting or drawing lots of effects that make up the kite stage.

  In the princess stage, a notice that a cute doll appears continuously is given, and in the samurai stage, a notice that the countdown for the sneak is performed is performed. In particular, in the song stage, the songr will say “1” as a notice for the first change, and the song “2” will be given as a notice for the second change. As a notice notification, the sound of the songer saying “3” is output and the sneaky reach production is developed. In this case, if you can freely change the stage during the notice, you will not know who the player will suddenly start from “3” when you switch to the puppet stage after two cute dolls on the princess stage. As a result, the entertainment reach of the music declines.

(Modification F-2)
The game table may be characterized in that the notice information means ends the notice information when the stage is switched by the stage switching means. This also prevents the display of effects when the stage is switched for the same reason as in the modified example A from being strange. Note that the stage switching method may be any method, such as a lottery method or a player's operation, as in the modification example F-1.

(Modification Example F-3)
“The stage switching means is provided so that it can also be switched for the third notice stage that does not give notice, and when the stage is changed while the notice notice is giving notice, the stage is changed to the third notice stage. May be a game machine characterized in that it can be switched to the third stage while the advance notice means is not making a notice. By not shifting to the third stage where the continuous notice is not executed, the continuous notice can be enjoyed to the end. Note that the stage switching method may be any method, such as a lottery method or a player's operation, as in the modification example F-1.

(Modification Example F-4)
“The notice notification means performs a non-story notice notice with no story and a story notice notice with story in the second stage, and the stage is switched while the notice notice is given in the first stage. In such a case, it may be a “game table characterized in that a non-story notice is performed without performing a story notice as a notice in the second stage”. In the example of the modified example F-1, in addition to the advance notice that the musician counts up on the second stage, the advance stage notice that the musician appears continuously is performed. The notice that the musician counts up is completed with "Ichini no San!", So if the player suddenly starts with "san!", The player will feel uncomfortable, but the notice that the musician will appear continuously Since there is no story, even if the first and second notices are made with a lovely doll on the princess stage and the third notice is made with a notice that the musician appears, the player will not feel any sense of incongruity. Note that the stage switching method may be any method, such as a lottery method or a player's operation, as in the modification example F-1.

(Modification G)
Further, as in the modification example D, the main control unit acquires the advance notice information at the time of winning a prize, collects the advance notice information on hold at the start of fluctuation, and outputs to the secondary control part. There are the following problems in a gaming machine that performs a notice effect and a sub-control unit that draws a notice effect by lottery.

  For example, when the sub-control unit receives the advance notice information and the advance notice information is only the notice information for the loss, the sub-control unit performs lottery drawing of the continuous notice. It is assumed that the lottery probability of Gase continuous notice is 1/20. The main control unit outputs a notice information together with a change start command based on the end of the previous symbol change. Here, it is assumed that one game ball is won at the start port while the symbol variation is being performed, so that the number of holds increases by one, and the total number of holds reaches two (all lost). In this case, the sub-control unit inputs the advance notice information together with the change start command, and since all of the advance notice information is lost, the sub-control unit performs lottery of the continuous notice of advance at 1/20. As another example, it is assumed that three game balls are won at the starting port while the symbols are changing, so that three holds are added and the total number of holds is four (all lost). Also in this case, the sub-control unit inputs the advance notice information together with the change start command, and since all of the advance notice information is lost, the sub-control unit performs lottery of the continuous notice at 1/20. However, when the number of holds increases by one and when the number of holds increases by three, naturally, the case where the number of holds increases by three is greater than the case where the number of holds increases by one (for example, other than lost and small hits). The probability is three times higher. In such a case, even if it is a loss, it is necessary to excite the player by performing a series of advance notice and enhance the player's interest in the game, but the notice probability is not changed according to the increase in the hold However, there is a problem that the player cannot be effectively spoken and the interest of the player cannot be enhanced effectively.

This is solved by the following method. That is,
“Based on the fact that the game ball wins once at the start opening, it has lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display once for each lottery. The symbol representing the result of the lottery is displayed as a confirmed symbol, and the lottery means displays the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on winning first as a symbol for the symbol variation display. The lottery based on the fact that the prize has been won is put on hold until the game ends, and the lottery results before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery means A preliminary determination means and a preliminary determination execution lottery based on the determination result of the preliminary determination means, and based on the preliminary determination execution lottery, it is determined whether or not to notify the player that a specific result is predicted. Advance notice decision And notice information means for performing the notice notice before the symbol representing the result of the lottery determined when the notice notice determining means decides to perform the notice notice is displayed as a confirmed symbol. The notice notification determining means may be a “game table that performs the notice execution lottery” based on the increase in the number of lotteries held by the lottery means. Since it is possible to perform a notice execution lottery that takes into account the increase in the number of holds, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player.

  Furthermore, “the game ball is provided with a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on the winning of the game once at the start gate, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display for each lottery. A symbol that is displayed once and represents a symbol representing the result of the lottery as a final symbol, and the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on the fact that the lottery has won first is displayed as a final symbol. The lottery based on the fact that the prize was won later is put on hold until the end of the variable display. Further, before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery, the lottery results in what kind of lottery result. Whether or not to perform the advance notice lottery from the judgment result of the advance judgment means and whether or not to make a notice to the player to predict that the specific result is based on the advance notice lottery. Notice to be decided Knowledge determining means, and notice information means for performing the notice notice before the symbol representing the lottery result determined when the notice notice deciding means decides to perform the notice notice is displayed as a confirmed symbol. The notice notification determining means performs the notice execution lottery based on the increase in the number of the lotteries held by the lottery means between the previous notice execution lottery and the current lottery. It may be a “game table characterized by”. Since the advance notice lottery can be performed in consideration of the number of reserved balls increased from the previous run to the current run, the advance notice lottery according to the degree of expectation can be performed. In addition, when developing a game machine, it may be easy to predict the lottery value of the notice execution lottery, and the development man-hour may be reduced.

  The main control board includes at least a main control board including at least the lottery means and the preliminary determination means, and a sub-control board including at least the advance notice determination means and the advance notice means. When the lottery means performs the lottery, the determination result of the preliminary determination means is output to the sub control board together with the lottery result, and the sub control board is based on the input determination result of the preliminary determination means It may be a “game table characterized in that the advance notice lottery is performed by the advance notice determining means”. In such a case, the processing structure is simplified, but the determination result of the prior determination means cannot be acquired freely by the sub-control unit or cannot be acquired for each increase in the number of holdings. By providing a structure for performing a lottery, it is possible to provide a game stand that can appropriately raise the player's expectation, and it is possible to further improve the interest of the player's game.

  In addition, when the determination result of the preliminary determination unit is a first profit amount (15R special jackpot, etc.), the preliminary notification determination unit performs a preliminary execution lottery using a first lottery table, and the preliminary determination If the determination result of the means is the second profit amount (such as a loss), the notice execution lottery is performed using the second lottery table. Further, “the notice notification determining means performs the lottery using the second lottery table. The lottery means holds the lottery hold number when the first hold number is smaller than the first hold number than when the second hold number is less than the first hold number. It may be a “game table characterized by a low notification probability of performing“. The lottery based on the second lottery table is, for example, a lottery for continuous gaze notice. For example, in the previous example, the sub-control unit inputs the advance notice information together with the change start command, and since all the advance notice information is lost, it is assumed that the lottery of the continuous announcement is 1/20, but the advance notice information is all lost. If there is one hold, it will be 1/20, if there are two hold, 1/30, if there are three hold, 1/40, if there are four hold, it will be 1/50. In addition, a correction value is entered in accordance with the number of pending increases. In this case, if the number of on-hold increases is not considered, the greater the number of holds, the smaller the execution probability of the notice. This is related to the fact that the variation time becomes shorter as the number of suspensions increases. In other words, when there are four holds, it is easy to select a short variation time so that the change will end soon because there is no more hold, and when there is zero hold, if the change ends quickly, the game Since the player may be freed up, the recent game machines have a shorter variation time as the number of on-holds increases. Therefore, if it becomes easy to make a notice when it is easy to select a short change time, the change will end immediately after making a notice, so the interest of the game will decline for some players There is a case. Therefore, the execution probability of the notice is made smaller as the number of suspensions increases.

  However, in this case, if the notice lottery is not performed in consideration of the increase in the number of holds, for example, in the previous notice execution lottery, the number of holds is 1, and in the case of the current notice execution lottery, there are four holds. In such a case, the expectation to the player due to the gasse notice notification for the three holdings becomes 1/50, which is not preferable. Therefore, for example, 1- (19/20 × 29/30 × 39/40 × 49/50) = 147039/1200000 (about 12%) is performed, so that the player's gaming interests are appropriate. It can be improved with timing. In addition, when the lottery hold number held by the lottery means is the first hold number when the lottery is held by the first lottery table, the notice notification determining unit performs the first hold. It may be a “game table characterized in that the notification probability of performing the notification in advance” is larger than in the case of the second holding number which is a number smaller than the number. Since the player's expectation can be raised as consecutive notices continue, if the 15R special jackpot is hit, if there are four holds, the notice of the player's game will be surely made by giving as many notices as possible Can be improved.

  In addition, the “notice notification determining means is characterized in that a lottery for notice notification is performed according to the number of holdings that are increased by the number of holdings of the lottery held by the lottery means”. There may be. For example, when the number of holdings increases by three, conventionally, a 1/20 lottery was performed once, but it may be performed three times. In this case, the lottery probability is 1− (19/20) 3 = 14%. In addition, the game according to the present invention is characterized in that the notice notification determination means performs a notice notification lottery in accordance with the number of holdings obtained by increasing the number of holdings of the lottery held by the lottery means and the storage location. Stand ". When the increased hold is stored in the third hold and the fourth hold, the lot may be drawn by the lottery table for the third hold and the lottery table for the fourth hold.

  In addition, when the lottery hold number held by the lottery means is the first hold number when the lottery is held by the second lottery table, the notice notice determining means is the first hold It may be a “game table characterized in that the notification probability of performing the notification in advance” is larger than in the case of the second holding number which is a number smaller than the number.

(Modification example H)
In addition, a game machine having the following configuration is provided for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game compared to conventional game machines. That is, “the game ball includes a lottery means for drawing a profit amount to be given to the player based on a winning once at the start opening, and the symbol display means displays the symbol variation display for each lottery. A symbol that is displayed once and represents a symbol representing the result of the lottery as a final symbol, and the symbol representing the result of the lottery based on the fact that the lottery has won first is displayed as a final symbol. The lottery based on the fact that the prize was won later is put on hold until the end of the variable display. Further, before the lottery means the lottery means the lottery, the lottery result will be the lottery result. And a notice notification determining means for notifying the player that the result of the lottery is a specific result, and when the notice notification determining means determines that the notice notification is performed. Judgment Notice information means for giving a notice before the symbol representing the result of the lottery is displayed as a confirmed figure, and effect control means for controlling the effect determined based on the lottery result of the lottery performed by the lottery means; Driving means for driving a movable object for presentation provided for the presentation, wherein the notice notification means outputs a drive signal to the drive means as the notice of notice, and the effect control means includes the notice notice Even when the means is planning to output a drive signal to the drive means, if it is decided to perform a specific effect, the drive signal is output in preference to the drive means. It may be a “game table characterized by the fact that”. When the notice effect is set, the effect for driving the effect device (for example, the shutter) is not selected or selected by the effect determined based on the lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player by the lottery means. Even if it is done, the production is not executed. This is to prevent the continuous notice from being overwritten with the production based on the lottery of the change at that time and becoming invisible. However, in the case of special figure 1, when a big win is made in the lottery four times ahead, a big hit is won in special figure 2 which is preferentially changed over special figure 1 on the way. In this case, it is assumed that an effect for making a definite notification that the jackpot has been won is selected by the effecting device (which is always a jackpot when the effect is performed). In this case, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player's game by giving priority to the confirmation notification. In addition, it may be an effect with a high degree of expectation of the jackpot, and is not limited to the fixed notification.

(Modification Example I)
In addition to simply starting the game and displaying the results, it has become possible to improve the interest by making the player have a sense of expectation in the middle of the game, but the range of games can be expanded In addition to the fear that a player will soon get bored if a special function is not installed, in conventional game machines, a determination as to whether or not the right to change the symbol is made in advance before the change of the symbol is started (so-called In the case where it is determined that an advantageous gaming state is generated, the range of game play has been expanded by changing the time (fluctuation time) of the symbol change before the symbol change based on the right.

  However, when changing the variation time based on the result of the determination of success / failure in advance, it becomes possible to increase the number of success / failure lotteries more than before, so the number of jackpots will naturally increase, There was a problem that unfairness was given to the player and gambling was increased. On the other hand, if the symbol change time is changed regardless of the game result, there is a risk that the game machine will perceive the game machine as if it had caused a special figure change, and the player was distrusted about fairness. It makes me feel. Therefore, by not changing the change time in the case of performing the advance notice based on the result of performing the determination as to whether or not (pre-reading result), it is possible to suppress gambling without giving the player an unfair feeling. .

  However, when a notice is given without changing the variation time based on the result of determining whether or not it is determined in advance, the last symbol variation of the continuous symbol variation stop display may not be a long variation time. In this case, there is a possibility that the effect of notifying the notice in the continuous symbol fluctuation stop display is lowered, and the interest of the player is lowered.

  For this reason, when notifying the notice without changing the fluctuation time, it is possible to ensure that the last symbol fluctuation of the continuous notice notice is made a long fluctuation time by making the time of symbol fluctuation that becomes a hit or a loss always longer. However, in that case, the fluctuation time of the losing that accounts for the majority of the fluctuation time in the normal time will naturally become longer, so the player will be stopped until the lottery result is notified, and the operation of the game table will be reduced There is a problem that the interest of the player is reduced because the number of times the lottery is performed is significantly reduced. In addition, there is a problem that it is not possible to provide a notice with a high production effect.

An object of the present invention is to provide a game stand that can improve the effect of the advance notice without giving an unfair feeling to the player, and has been made to solve such conventional problems. To do. That is,
“When a game ball is won at a predetermined start opening, a symbol display means for performing a variable stop display for a predetermined variation time after the symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and a symbol form displayed by the symbol display means is a specific symbol. Special gaming state starting means for starting a special gaming state advantageous to the player when it is an aspect, a specific variable time group including only a specific variable time satisfying the first specific condition, and a non-specific variable time not satisfying the specific condition A non-specific variation time group including a plurality of variation time groups including at least one of the variation time groups determined in advance is determined when a game ball wins the predetermined start opening Variable time group determining means, variable time group storage means for storing the variable time group determined by the variable time group determining means, and Fluctuation time determining means for determining a fluctuation time corresponding to a second specific condition from the stored fluctuation time groups at the start of stop display, and the variable stop display on the symbol display means based on the determined fluctuation time Display control means for performing the above and when there is one or a plurality of prior variable stop displays that are the variable stop displays that start before the start of the specific variable stop display based on any specific variable time in the specific variable time group In addition, it may be a gaming table characterized in that it includes a prior notice notifying means for giving a prior notice notifying that the special gaming state is started in the first variable stop display. In this way, the specific change stop display based on the change time satisfying the specific condition is performed after the advance notice is given in advance change stop display without changing the change time. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the effects of the advance notice and the specific variation stop display without giving the player an unfair feeling, and to improve the interest of the player. Further, since there is no need to have a plurality of symbol types, it is not necessary to perform control processing related to the type lottery, and the control burden can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to reduce the burden of document preparation by reducing the description items related to the symbol type described in the documents to be submitted to the inspection organization (such as Secure Electronic Communication Technology Association).

  In addition, the “preliminary advance notice means performs the advance notice in the advance change stop display when the advance change stop display is the non-specific change time”, Also good. In this way, in order to perform the specific change stop display that is the specific change time after performing the advance notice notification during the first change stop display that is the non-specific change time, the effect of the advance notice and the specific change stop display is further improved. Can increase the interest of the player.

  In addition, “the advance notice notification unit may be configured to display the advance notice in the change display from the previous change stop display to the specific change stop display when the previous change stop display may be the specific change time. It may be a “game table characterized by not performing the game”. By doing so, since there is no prior notice when there is a possibility that the first variable stop display becomes the specific variable time, it is possible to prevent the effect of the advance notice and the specific variable stop display from being reduced. it can.

  In addition, “the advance notice notification unit displays the prior variable stop display when the specific variable stop display does not display the specific symbol form and the prior variable stop display may be the specific variable time. To the specific change stop display may be a gaming machine characterized in that the advance notice is not performed. By doing so, the advance notice is not given when the specific change stop display is lost and the previous change stop display may become the specific change time, so the effect of the advance notice and the specific change stop display is reduced. Can be prevented. In addition, when the specific change stop display is around and the previous change stop display may become the specific change time, even if the advance notice is given and the effect is reduced, the player is advantageous. There is no loss of interest in

  Further, it may be “a game machine characterized in that the specific variation time is longer than the non-specific variation time”. By doing this, the fluctuation time of the first variable stop display can be shortened and the fluctuation time of the specific variable stop display can be increased. By performing the specific variation stop display for a long variation time, it is possible to enhance the effects of the advance notice and the specific variation stop display, and to improve the interest of the player.

  Further, “the non-specific variation time group includes a first non-specific variation time group including only the non-specific variation time, and a second non-specific variation time group including the specific variation time and the non-specific variation time. The prior notice notification means includes the first advance stop notification when the all-first advance stop indication is based on any non-specific change time in the first non-specific change time group. When a prior notice is given and at least one of the one or more preceding variable stop displays is based on any variable time of the second non-specific variable time group, from the previous variable stop display to the specific variable stop display It may also be a “game table” in which the advance notice is not performed in the variable display. By doing so, when the first change stop display is based on the change time of the first non-specific change time group, the change time is always the non-specific change time, so that it is possible to make advance notice with a high effect of production. . In addition, when the previous variable stop display is based on the variable time of the second non-specific variable time group, the variable time is not necessarily the non-specific variable time. It is possible to prevent the production effect from decreasing.

  In addition, “when a game ball wins at the predetermined start opening, the right of the variable stop display is reserved up to a predetermined number, and when the variable stop display ends when the hold number is 1 or more, Holding means for subtracting 1 from the fluctuation time, and the fluctuation time corresponding to the case where the number of holdings at the start of the variable stop display among the variable times of the variable time group is a predetermined number of holds is the variable stop display start time The variation time corresponding to a case where the number of suspensions is greater than the predetermined number of suspensions, and the variation time determination means is configured to select the variation stop display from the stored variation time group at the start of the variation stop display. When a change time corresponding to the number of holds is determined, and the prior notice notification unit has the previous change stop display based on any change time of the second non-specific change time group, the previous change stop display When the change time corresponding to the specific hold number that may be the initial hold number is a non-specific change time, the advance notice is given in the prior variable stop display, and the specific hold number is supported. Even if any of the variation times to be performed is a specific variation time, the game table is characterized in that the advance notice is not performed in the variation display from the previous variation stop display to the specific variation stop display. Good. In this way, even if the previous fluctuation stop display is based on any fluctuation time in the second non-specific fluctuation time group, if the non-specific fluctuation time is always selected at the start of the previous fluctuation stop display, a prior notice is given. Therefore, it is possible to improve the occurrence probability of the advance notice. In addition, when the non-specific variation time is not always selected at the start of the destination change stop display, the advance notice is not performed, so that it is possible to prevent the effect of the advance notice from being deteriorated. In the second non-specific variation time group, the specific variation time (relatively long) and the non-specific variation time (relatively short) are associated with each variation time when the number of holdings is small and large. When the number of holds is large, the lottery result is notified to the player early to shorten the state where the number of holds cannot be held, thereby preventing the player from stopping, and the game can be advanced at a good tempo. When there is a small number, it is possible to delay the notification of the lottery result to provide a period in which the number of holdings is increased, and to shorten the time during which the variable stop display is not performed, thereby preventing the player from being less interested in the game.

  The “preliminary advance notice means may perform the advance notice in the specific change stop display”. By carrying out like this, even if it carries out prior notice notification also by specific fluctuation stop display, the effect of advance notice information and specific fluctuation stop display can be heightened, and a player's interest can be improved.

  In addition, “the game table characterized in that the specific variation stop display when the specific symbol mode is not displayed has a higher incidence than the specific variation stop display when the specific symbol mode is displayed”. There may be. By doing so, the advance notice in case of losing is more likely to occur, so it is possible to show the advance notice to the player more and improve the interest of the player.

(Change Example J)
In addition, a game machine having the following configuration is provided for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game compared to conventional game machines. In other words, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a relatively difficult-to-win state. A plurality of types of stop symbol forms including a first specific symbol form and a second specific symbol form that display a change of symbols over a predetermined fluctuation time based on the winning of a game ball at the first start opening. A series of symbol fluctuation stop display is executed to stop and display one type of the stop symbol mode after the fluctuation time has elapsed, and a predetermined fluctuation is determined based on the winning of the game ball at the second start opening. A symbol display means for performing a series of symbol variation stop display for displaying a variation of symbols over time and stopping and displaying one type of stop symbol mode among a plurality of types of stop symbol modes after the passage of the variation time; Design When the stop symbol mode stopped and displayed by the motion stop display is the first specific symbol mode, the symbol is shifted to the first special game state that is more advantageous to the player than the predetermined normal state and is stopped and displayed by the symbol variation display. When the mode is the second specific symbol mode, the special game state transition means for shifting to the second game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state but disadvantageous to the player than the first special game state And when the symbol display means stops and displays any one of the first specific symbol mode and the second specific symbol mode by the symbol variation stop display, before the stop display, Notice notification means for performing a notification with a predetermined probability that suggests that the symbol display means is likely to stop and display the first specific symbol form, and the notice notification means stops the specific symbol variation stop In the symbol change stop display of a plurality of consecutive times, the notice notification is made, and the symbol display means draws the profit amount based on the winning to the second starting port, the first start It is prioritized over the lottery of the profit amount based on the winning in the mouth, and in the case of the difficult to win state, the game includes the first specific design mode based on the fact that the game ball has won the second starting port. (2) A game board characterized by executing a series of symbol fluctuation stop display for stopping and displaying one type of a stop symbol mode among a plurality of types of stop symbol modes not including a specific symbol mode. There may be.

  In the difficult-to-win state, the special figure 1 is mainly changed, and the special figure 1 is reserved, and a continuous notice for the lottery of the special figure 1 is performed. In this case, if a special winning is won in the special figure 2, the opening operation of the big winning opening by the special winning in the special figure 2 is performed during the continuous notice, and the continuity of the continuous notice may be hindered. For this reason, in the difficult-to-win state, the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the special figure 1, and the small hit symbol is not displayed in the special figure 2. Note that the opening operation of the big winning opening with a small hit may be performed for about 8 seconds, for example.

  In addition, “the symbol display means, over the fluctuation time of either one of the predetermined long fluctuation time and the short fluctuation time shorter than the long fluctuation time, based on the game ball entering the predetermined start opening. A series of symbol fluctuation stops in which a change display of the symbols is performed and one type of the stop symbol mode among the plural types of stop symbol modes including the first specific symbol mode and the second specific symbol mode is stopped and displayed. Display, and when the symbol display means displays the variation of the symbol and stops and displays one of the first specific symbol aspect and the second specific symbol aspect, It may be a “game table characterized in that the symbol variation display in the specific symbol variation stop display for displaying the symbol mode is performed over the long variation time”. Game consoles such as pachinko machines are equipped with obstacles that change the direction of the fall of the game ball in the game area of the game board, a winning opening, a starting opening, a variable winning opening, etc. where the game ball can win. It is common. When a game ball wins a prize, a privilege is given to the player, such as paying out a prize ball. In addition, such a gaming table is provided with a symbol display device such as a 7-segment display, and when a game ball wins at the start opening, the symbol of the symbol display device fluctuates for a predetermined time, and the symbol after the change is predetermined. When a specific symbol mode is reached, a gaming state advantageous to the player is generated, such as opening a variable prize opening for a predetermined time. In the game machine, the interest of the game machine is improved by increasing or decreasing the opportunities for the player to obtain the above-mentioned benefits by controlling the occurrence of a game state advantageous to the player. As for such a gaming machine, there is known a gaming machine that informs a player in advance that the symbol after the change becomes a specific symbol mode before the symbol ends the variation (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 3- 73180). In the gaming machine described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in addition to simply changing the symbol, the player is informed in advance that the symbol after the change will be in a specific symbol form. It has become possible to improve the interest to some extent, such as becoming possible, but if you do not further improve the gameability and sustain the player's willingness to play, you will soon get bored by the player There is a fear. Accordingly, it is an object to provide a gaming table that can enhance game playability and maintain a player's willingness to play.

  Further, “the notice notifying unit is configured such that the variation time of the symbol variation display in the first symbol variation stop display is longer than a predetermined time in a plurality of consecutive symbol variation stop displays including the specific symbol variation stop display last. For example, it may be a “game table characterized in that the notice notification is not performed while the first symbol variation stop display is executed”.

  Further, “when the notice notification unit executes symbol variation stop display for performing symbol variation display over the long variation time in a plurality of consecutive symbol variation stop displays with the specific symbol variation stop display as the last. The game table may be characterized in that, in the symbol variation display over the long variation time, the notice notification is repeatedly performed at intervals not exceeding the short variation time.

  Further, in the “game table characterized in that the symbol display means performs a temporary stop display of a symbol different from the symbol stop display during the symbol variation display in the symbol variation stop display”. There may be.

  In addition, “the gaming machine characterized in that the special gaming state transition means shifts to the third gaming state advantageous to the player, with at least one of the conditions being the end of the second gaming state”. There may be.

  In addition, the game table may be characterized in that the symbol display means has a higher probability of stopping and displaying the second specific symbol mode in the third gaming state than in the normal state.

  Further, it may be “a gaming table characterized in that the symbol display means has a higher probability that the first specific symbol aspect is stopped and displayed in the third gaming state than in the normal state”.

  Note that, in the difficult-to-win state, the fluctuation of the special figure 1 is the main, the suspension is accumulated in the special figure 1, and the continuous notice for the lottery of the special figure 1 is performed. In this case, if the super reach is won in the special figure 2, the super reach is performed in the special figure 2 during the continuous notice, and the continuity of the continuous notice may be hindered. For this reason, in the winning easy state, the super reach may be easily performed in the special figure 2, and the super reach may be difficult to be performed in the special figure 2. In other words, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a difficult-to-win state. A plurality of types of stop symbol forms including a first specific symbol form and a second specific symbol form that display a change of symbols over a predetermined fluctuation time based on the winning of a game ball at the first start opening. A series of symbol fluctuation stop display is executed to stop and display one type of the stop symbol mode after the fluctuation time has elapsed, and a predetermined fluctuation is determined based on the winning of the game ball at the second start opening. A symbol display means for performing a series of symbol variation stop display for displaying a variation of symbols over time and stopping and displaying one type of stop symbol mode among a plurality of types of stop symbol modes after the passage of the variation time; Strange design When the stop symbol mode stopped and displayed by the stop display is the first specific symbol mode, the symbol mode is shifted to the first special game state advantageous to the player from the predetermined normal state, and is stopped and displayed by the symbol variation display. Is a second specific symbol form, special game state transition means for shifting to a second game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state but disadvantageous to the player than the first special game state; When the symbol display means stops displaying the specific symbol mode of either the first specific symbol mode or the second specific symbol mode by the symbol variation stop display, the symbol is displayed before the stop display. Notice means for performing a notice with a predetermined probability indicating that the display means is likely to stop and display the first specific symbol mode, and the notice notice means includes the specific symbol variation stop table. In the multiple symbol fluctuation stop display that is consecutively repeated, the notice notification is performed, and the symbol display means is more likely to receive the second starting port in the difficult-to-win state than in the easy-to-win state. A gaming table characterized in that a variation time having a short variation time based on the winning of a game ball can be easily selected.

  It should be noted that “the first symbol lottery means for lottery to acquire the first random number and stop in the first specific symbol mode; and the second random number to acquire and stop in the second specific symbol mode. 2nd symbol lottery means for lottery, wherein the second symbol lottery means does not acquire the second symbol lottery random number when the winning is difficult. Good. In the case of the normal figure low probability state, the big hit symbol lottery random number is acquired and the small bonus symbol lottery random number is not acquired.

(Modification Example J-1)
In addition, a game machine having the following configuration is provided for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game compared to conventional game machines. In other words, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a relatively difficult-to-win state. Based on the winning of the game ball at the first start opening, the symbols are displayed over a predetermined variation time, and one of the plurality of types of stop symbols is displayed as the variation time. A series of symbol variation stop display is performed to stop display after a lapse of time, and based on the fact that a game ball has won a prize at the second starting port, a symbol variation display is performed over a predetermined variation time, and a plurality of types of symbol variation display are performed. A symbol display means for executing a series of symbol variation stop display for stopping and displaying one type of the stop symbol modes among the stop symbol modes, and the stop symbol mode stopped by the symbol variation stop display. A special game state transition means for shifting to a first special game state that is more advantageous to the player than a predetermined normal state in the case of the specific symbol mode, wherein the symbol display means is in the difficult to win state A series of symbol fluctuations based on winning in the first starting port when there is a winning in the second starting port during a series of symbol variation stop display based on winning in the first starting port The stop display is interrupted and the symbol variation based on the winning at the second starting port is started to execute a series of symbol variation stop display, and when the series of symbol variation stop is finished, the first variation is interrupted. A series of symbol variation stop display based on winning at the starting port of the first is restarted, and the second start is performed during a series of symbol variation stopping display based on winning at the first starting port in the easy winning state. If there is a prize in the mouth, the first It may be a gaming table characterized "in that the series of symbol variation stopped and displayed based on the winning to the start hole does not halt. Since it is easy to enter the starting port 2 in the easy-to-win state, a stop game is performed until a reach with a high jackpot probability is selected in FIG. 1, and when a reach with a high jackpot probability is selected, the stop game is subsequently played. If the game is canceled and the special figure 2 is obtained, it is possible to obtain two jackpots in one easy winning state. At this time, since the player plays the stop game, there is a problem that the operation of the game store side is lowered. This modification solves this problem. It should be noted that the interruption variation of special figure 2 may not be performed especially when the special figure 1 is a big hit.

(Modification K)
Unlike the declaration described in the section of the modification example, the modification example K is not limited to a gaming machine provided with a notice notification means. And the game machine provided with the following structure is provided for the purpose of raising the interest of a game rather than the conventional game machine. In other words, in a gaming machine having a first starting port and a second starting port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a relatively difficult-to-win state. A plurality of types of stop symbol forms including a first specific symbol form and a second specific symbol form that display a change of symbols over a predetermined fluctuation time based on the winning of a game ball at the first start opening. A series of symbol fluctuation stop display is executed to stop and display one type of the stop symbol mode after the fluctuation time has elapsed, and a predetermined fluctuation is determined based on the winning of the game ball at the second start opening. A symbol display means for performing a series of symbol variation stop display for displaying a variation of symbols over time and stopping and displaying one type of stop symbol mode among a plurality of types of stop symbol modes after the passage of the variation time; Design When the stop symbol mode stopped and displayed by the motion stop display is the first specific symbol mode, the symbol is shifted to the first special game state that is more advantageous to the player than the predetermined normal state and is stopped and displayed by the symbol variation display. When the mode is the second specific symbol mode, the special game state transition means for shifting to the second game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state but disadvantageous to the player than the first special game state When the first specific symbol form is stopped in the easy-to-win state, the special game state is always followed by shifting to the easy-to-win state, and special when the second specific symbol form is stopped in the difficult-to-win state. A winning difficulty level transition means for transitioning to either the difficult winning state or the easy winning state after the gaming state ends, and the symbol display means, when in the easy winning state, the second start port Based on the winning of a game ball, one type of stop symbol mode is displayed after the variation time has elapsed, including the first specific symbol mode and not including the second specific symbol mode. It may be a gaming machine characterized by executing a series of symbol fluctuation stop display. Special Figure 2 rarely wins when it is difficult to win, and wins a lot when it is easy to win, but even if the winning is in the easy win state, it only makes sense to raise the base. In the case where an effect is performed over a plurality of fluctuations during the easy-to-win state (for example, a mission mode for notifying the player that a big hit has been made by displaying to achieve the conditions presented in advance). Since the big prize opening is opened unnecessarily by small hits, there is a case where the entertainment interest of the game is reduced by angering the performance performed over a plurality of fluctuations represented by the mission mode. is there.

  It should be noted that “the first symbol lottery means for lottery to acquire the first random number and stop in the first specific symbol mode; and the second random number to acquire and stop in the second specific symbol mode. 2nd symbol lottery means for lottery, wherein the second symbol lottery means does not acquire the second symbol lottery random number when the winning is difficult. Good. In the case of the normal figure low probability state, the big hit symbol lottery random number is acquired and the small bonus symbol lottery random number is not acquired.

(Modification example L)
Unlike the declaration described in the section of the modification example, the modification example L is not limited to a gaming machine provided with a notice notification means. And the game machine provided with the following structure is provided for the purpose of raising the interest of a game rather than the conventional game machine. That is, “based on the fact that a game ball has entered a predetermined start opening, the variation display of the symbol is performed over either one of a predetermined long variation time and a short variation time shorter than the long variation time. A symbol that executes a series of symbol fluctuation stop display that stops and displays one type of stop symbol mode among the plural types of stop symbol modes including the first specific symbol mode and the second specific symbol mode If the display means and the stop symbol mode stopped and displayed by the symbol variation stop display are the first specific symbol mode, the display unit shifts to the first special game state that is more advantageous to the player than the predetermined normal state. When the symbol mode stopped and displayed by the display is the second specific symbol mode, the player shifts to the second gaming state which is more advantageous to the player than the normal state but disadvantageous to the player than the first special gaming state. Let When the symbol mode stopped and displayed by the symbol variation display is the third specific symbol mode, the third game is more advantageous to the player than the normal state but disadvantageous to the player than the second special game state. When the symbol mode that has been shifted to the state and stopped and displayed by the symbol variation display is the fourth specific symbol mode, the fourth special gaming state has the same advantage as the case where the third specific symbol mode is stopped and displayed. And a special game state transition means, and a large winning opening opening means for performing a control for opening a predetermined winning opening for a predetermined period when the special gaming state is entered, wherein the symbol display means In the case of stopping and displaying any one of the first specific symbol aspect, the second specific symbol aspect and the third specific symbol aspect by stop display, the symbol display means before the stop display But Notice notification means for performing a notification with a predetermined probability to suggest that there is a high possibility that the first specific symbol mode is stopped and displayed, and the symbol display means performs a variable display of the symbol and displays the first specific symbol. When the specific symbol aspect of any one of the aspect, the second specific symbol aspect, and the third specific symbol aspect is stopped and displayed, the change of the symbol in the specific symbol variation stop display that stops and displays the one specific symbol aspect The notification is performed over the long variation time period, and the advance notice means performs the advance notice in a plurality of consecutive symbol change stop displays with the specific symbol change stop display last, and the big prize The game opening characterized in that the mouth opening means prevents the player from distinguishing between the opening states of the second special gaming state and the fourth special gaming state. It may be. The first specific symbol mode is, for example, a 15R special jackpot symbol. The second specific symbol mode is, for example, a 2R special jackpot symbol. The third specific symbol mode is, for example, a small hit for use in the gasse continuous notice, and the fourth specific symbol mode is a small hit for appearing as a 2R special jackpot symbol. In addition, when the 2R special jackpot symbol is won, the probability variation state that shifts after the second special game state performed by the 2R special jackpot is changed from the probability variation state that transitions after the game state distinguished from the first that is performed by the 15R special jackpot. In comparison, the notification degree of notification that the player has a probability variation may be low. The probability variation state that shifts after the 2R special gaming state may be a so-called hidden probability variation.

  Note that “the game stand characterized in that the special winning opening releasing means is configured such that the period of the fourth special gaming state is shorter than the period of the third special gaming state”. Since the 3rd special game state is for making it difficult to understand the 2R probability change, it is necessary to set the special game state for a certain period in order to make the 2R probability change appear. Since it is a win, the period of the special gaming state may be as short as possible. In the third special gaming state, the grand prize opening may be opened twice, and in the fourth special gaming state, the grand prize opening may be opened once.

  It should be noted that “the first symbol lottery means for lottery to acquire the first random number and stop in the first specific symbol mode; and the second random number to acquire and stop in the second specific symbol mode. 2nd symbol lottery means for lottery, wherein the second symbol lottery means does not acquire the second symbol lottery random number when the winning is difficult. Good. In the case of the normal figure low probability state, the big hit symbol lottery random number is acquired and the small bonus symbol lottery random number is not acquired.

(Modification example M)
Moreover, the following game machines may be sufficient.

  When the result of prefetching is a specific result such as two jackpots included, the state of production may be switched.

  In addition, when the result of prefetching in a predetermined period is a predetermined result, the state of production may be switched.

In addition, as the state of production, either one of QR image A or QR image B is selected and displayed on the liquid crystal screen, and any one of QR image A, QR image B, or QR image C is selected and liquid crystal is displayed. The display period B displayed on the screen may be included.

“In a game machine having a first start port and a second start port that takes one of a relatively easy-to-win state and a relatively difficult-to-win state. A lottery means for performing a lottery of a profit amount to be given to a person based on winning one of the first start port and the second start port, and a lottery lottery performed by the lottery unit There is an announcement of the result, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the second starting port is prioritized over the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning of the first starting port. A lottery result notifying unit for performing, and prior to notifying the lottery result, a notice notifying unit for notifying the player of the fact that the lottery result is expected to be advantageous for the player, In addition, a third starting port and movable The movable member (electrical chew) that switches the winning probability of the second starting port and the random contents obtained based on winning at the third starting port determine the movable content of the movable member. Movable member movable content determining means, wherein the notice notifying means determines that the state of the second starting port is in the difficult to win state based on the random number before the movable member movable content determining means performs lottery. In this case, the game machine may be configured to determine whether or not to give a notice to the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the first start opening. Further, “the movable member movable content determination means controls the movable member to be moved to a first movable position and a second movable position that is harder to win the second starting port than the first movable position. The notice notification means moves to the first movable position when the movable member movable content determination means performs a lottery based on a random number acquired based on winning in the third starting port. Is determined at the first notification probability, and the movable member movable content determination means performs a lottery based on a random number acquired based on winning the third start opening. If it is determined that it is not determined to move to the first movable position, the game table is characterized in that the advance notice is given at a second advance probability higher than the first advance probability. It may be. In this case, the first notice probability may be zero. The notice notification may be a notice notice performed when a special figure jackpot random number is included, or a false notice notice performed when a special figure jackpot random number is not included. Different notice probabilities may be used. Note that “the notice notifying unit determines that the state of the second start port is based on the lottery result based on the random number before the lottery result is determined after the movable member movable content determining unit performs the lottery. It may be a “game table characterized in that it is determined whether or not to give a notice to the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first starting port when it is difficult to win a prize”. According to the configuration described so far, the special figure 1 fluctuation is main in the difficult-to-win state, but when the special figure 2 fluctuation interrupts the special figure 1 fluctuation, the special figure 2 fluctuation takes priority. There is a problem that the continuity of the continuous notice is impaired or the interruption of Special Figure 2 must be included in the continuous notice, and it becomes difficult for the continuous notice to appropriately enhance the interest of the player's game. is there. In order to solve this, in the difficult-to-win state, it is determined whether or not to notify the advance notice based on the lottery result of the usual figure hold or change. In addition, it was decided whether or not the notice effect based on the winning of the first special figure starting entrance in the difficult-to-win state is based on the holding of the ordinary figure or the lottery result of the changing ordinary figure. The notice effect based on the 2nd special figure start entrance prize, the notice effect based on the 1st special figure start entrance prize in the easy-to-win state, and the notice effect based on the 2nd special figure start entrance prize in the easy-to-win state, The notice content may or may not be determined based on the lottery result of the usual map that is changing.

(Modification P)
A game table equipped with a continuous variation pattern (pseudo continuous variation) showing the result of the lottery to the player through two or more symbol variation effects by performing pseudo continuous variation in addition to the normal variation. is there. For example, it is Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2008-161392. The game table “after the normal fluctuation of a predetermined time, after temporarily stopping the stop symbol candidate in a detachment manner, the stop symbol candidate is variably displayed again. Pseudo continuous variation is defined as “representing such variation after normal variation as“ pseudo continuous variation ””. In addition, the game stand is equipped with a hold lamp for displaying the number of holds, such as “the lottery hold lamp 20 is composed of four lamps, and the number of lights in the lottery is displayed according to the number of lights on”. Yes. In the case of a general game machine, the number of reserves is added at every winning, and subtracted every time a lottery is started, and the display mode of the hold lamp changes in accordance with the addition / subtraction. . For this reason, even if an attempt is made to show the result of the lottery for two or more times as a pseudo-continuous variation to the player through the design variation effect, the holding lamp is used for a re-variation from a temporary stop. If attention is paid, the player may be able to recognize that it is a pseudo continuous variation. For this reason, it may take less time for a player to report a winning result with one symbol variation per winning lottery than to report a winning result with multiple symbol variations per winning lottery. There is a problem that there is a case where it feels that time is wasted or not, and the interest in games may be reduced. This is not only the hold lamp, but also, for example, even if attention is paid to a symbol variation indicator that is externally connected to a special symbol display device or a game stand and displays the number of jackpots or the number of symbol variations, it is also a pseudo continuous variation. I understand. On the other hand, a game is made by playing a violent sound at the time of re-change from a temporary stop so that the player does not recognize that there is no change in the notification mode of the notification device related to symbol change such as a holding ball display lamp. It is conceivable to give a notice to distract the attention of the person. However, if notification is given to distract attention, it is assumed that pseudo-continuous variation has been performed or has been performed. In this case, if notification to distract attention is performed, the player has said that pseudo-continuous variation has been performed or has been performed. There is a problem that the original purpose of distracting notification to lose sight of the pseudo continuous fluctuation is lost.

As a game stand to solve this problem,
“Based on the fact that the game ball has entered the starting port, the symbol change starts after the start indication to start the symbol change. After the predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed, the symbol is stopped and the stop display is continued for a predetermined period. And a symbol display means for executing a series of symbol variation display for confirming display, wherein the symbol display means is a series of symbols performed on the basis of having entered one start opening. In the variable display, the pseudo stop display that appears as if the stop display was performed, the pseudo confirmed display that appears as if the final display was performed after the pseudo stop display, and the start display after the pseudo final display And a pseudo-continuous display means that makes it appear as if there have been multiple symbol fluctuations by performing a pseudo-start display that appears as if the symbol display means has the start display and the stop display. Is further provided with a distraction notification means for distracting a player's attention to a notification device whose notification mode changes based on the confirmation display, and the distraction notification means includes the distraction notification, Performed when the pseudo continuous notification means displays the pseudo start display, the pseudo confirmed display, or the pseudo stop display, and also when the symbol display means performs the start display, the stop display, or the confirmed display. Is a game stand characterized by that.

  According to this gaming machine, attention distraction notification that only needs to be performed during the pseudo stop display or the pseudo start display is purposely performed during the stop display or the start display. As a result, even if a player who does not know the presence of pseudo-continuous fluctuation is not distracted even if a warning distraction notification is made, even if he or she happens to pay attention to the notification device regarding the symbol fluctuation, If it is performed at the time of the start display, it is possible to prevent the expression “distraction alert = pseudo continuous variation” from being established. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from perceiving that pseudo-continuous variation is performed (or has been performed) when notification for distracting attention is made, and a plurality of symbol variations can be performed per winning / failing lottery. Since it is more difficult to understand that the game is being performed, it is possible to prevent the player from experiencing a sense of wasting time and reducing the interest of the game by recognizing the pseudo continuous variation.

  A specific example of this modification will be described below.

  Based on the fact that the game ball has entered the starting gate, it is given to the player such as a random number for jackpot lottery, a random number for stop symbol lottery, a random number for special figure high probability state transition lottery, a random number for special figure high probability state transition lottery A lottery random number acquisition means for acquiring one or a plurality of random numbers for lottery of profits acquires lottery random numbers. One or more random numbers used for one lottery acquired by the lottery random number acquisition means are stored in the lottery random number storage unit. In addition, a holding number storage unit is provided for storing the number of symbol fluctuations in which the game ball has entered the starting port but the fluctuation start condition is not satisfied and the fluctuation has not started. In the present modification example, the lottery random number acquisition means acquires one or a plurality of random numbers used for one lottery based on the fact that the game ball has won the start opening, and stores it in the lottery random number storage unit. At the same time, 1 is added to the reserved number storage unit. Note that the lottery random number storage unit may also serve as the hold number storage unit. In other words, the number of pending numbers may be determined based on how many sets of one or more random numbers used for one lottery are present.

  When there is a change start condition such as there is a hold number of 1 or more in the hold number storage unit, the symbol is not changing, and the jackpot game is not being played, the symbol display means starts the symbol change. The start of symbol variation means that the symbol that has been stopped and displayed is scrolled vertically, horizontally, or back and forth. In this modified example, a special symbol display for displaying symbols on the 7-segment LED and a decorative symbol display for displaying symbols on the image display are provided. The start display is a display performed when notification of the lottery result is started. In the special symbol display, it means that the symbol being stopped is started to change. In the image display, it means that the symbols that are being stopped are started to change, for example, the left, middle, and right symbols that are being stopped are accelerated, and the display is made to appear as if they are changing at high speed. . The symbol display means performs the variable display after the start display. Fluctuation display refers to variably displaying a symbol, and a special symbol display quickly switches the display of a 7-segment LED. In the image display device, it means the display until the stop display is performed, such as stopping the left and inside of the symbols after the accelerated display and performing a reach effect. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of symbol variation, the symbol display means performs stop display. At this time, the symbols to be stopped and displayed are based on the lottery result. After the stop display, a definitive display is performed to leave the stopped display symbol on the screen for a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds), thereby ending the series of symbol variation display.

  Here, the pseudo continuous variation will be described. Pseudo continuous variation is a pseudo stop display that resembles a symbol stop display, a pseudo confirmed display that resembles a symbol fixed display, and a symbol start display during the series of symbol variation display of decorative symbols performed on an image display. By performing the pseudo start display similar to, a variation that makes it appear as if a lottery result has been displayed a plurality of times in spite of a single lottery result display. Pseudo continuous variation is a series of symbol variation display, symbol variation start display, symbol variation display, symbol pseudo variation stop display, symbol pseudo confirmed display, symbol pseudo variation start display, symbol variation display, symbol variation stop display, symbol confirmed display. I do. The special symbol displayed on the special symbol display is displayed in a variable manner in conjunction with the decorative symbol, but the symbol pseudo variation stop display, the symbol pseudo fixed display, and the symbol pseudo variation start display are not performed.

  Next, a notification device related to symbol variation will be described. The notification device related to symbol variation refers to a reserved number indicator provided in the gaming machine, a special symbol indicator, a data indicator for notifying the symbol rotation number provided outside the gaming machine, and the like. The display mode of the reserved number indicator and the data display changes based on the start of symbol variation, and the special symbol indicator has a display mode based on the stop of symbol variation or the start of symbol variation. Change. In other words, the display mode does not change based on the symbol pseudo-variation stop display, symbol pseudo-confirmed display, or symbol pseudo-variation start display. If it is made to change, the player may be misled in order to improve the interest of the game, but if the real information is not reported somewhere, the interest of the game will be significantly improved This is because it may be disadvantageous for the player or the hall personnel may not be able to obtain accurate information.

  Next, attention distraction notification will be described. As described above, since the mode of the notification device regarding the symbol variation does not change based on the symbol pseudo variation stop display, the symbol pseudo confirmation display, and the symbol variation pseudo start display, the player Depending on whether or not there is a change, it is known whether the symbol pseudo-variation stop display or symbol variation stop display, the symbol pseudo-decision display or symbol determination display, or the symbol pseudo-variation start display or symbol variation start display. The attention distraction notification is an effect notification that is performed at the time of the symbol pseudo-variation stop display, symbol pseudo-decision display, or symbol pseudo-variation start display so that the player does not pay attention to whether or not there has been a change in the mode of the notification device regarding the symbol variation. That's it. In the present modification example, this distraction notification is also performed during symbol variation stop display, symbol confirmation display, or symbol variation start display. As a result, it is not necessary to recognize the quasi-continuous fluctuation due to the distraction notice, which makes it more difficult to understand the quasi-continuous fluctuation.

  Further, the distraction notification may be performed by sound, a lamp, a liquid crystal display, or a movable operation of a movable object. In particular, it is preferable not to perform the distraction notification in the vicinity of the notification device regarding the symbol variation (particularly, the reservation indicator, the special symbol indicator, or the reserved symbol display displayed on the liquid crystal display). Thereby, it becomes difficult to notice that it is a pseudo continuous variation.

  Also, the distraction notification performed in the symbol pseudo-variation stop display and the symbol variation stop display may be performed at substantially the same timing. The same applies to the symbol pseudo-confirmed display and symbol definite display, and the symbol pseudo-variation start display and symbol variation start display. Thereby, it becomes difficult to notice that it is a pseudo continuous variation.

  Further, the symbol pseudo variation stop display and the symbol variation stop display may not be completely the same display. For example, there may be a stop display mode unique to the symbol pseudo-variable stop display. The same applies to symbol pseudo-determined display, symbol definite display, and symbol pseudo-variation start display or symbol variation start display. For example, the confirmation display time of the symbol pseudo-determined display and the symbol definite display may be different. As a display mode, the symbol at the time of the symbol pseudo-determined display is displayed as if it is slightly shaken. The symbol may be completely stopped, the fourth symbol at the time of symbol pseudo-deterministic display may continue to be displayed in a variable manner, and the fourth symbol at the time of symbol fixed display may not be displayed as a variable. Further, the symbol at the time of the symbol pseudo-variation start display may start to change at a high speed, and the symbol at the time of the symbol change start display may start to change at a low speed. However, the display must be similar to that at first glance and can be recognized by the player.

  The attention distraction notification may be started at the time of symbol pseudo-variation stop display or during symbol pseudo-confirmed display. A general player pays special attention to a holding ball display device other than decorative symbols when playing a game. The special symbol display device only needs to look at the display of the decorative symbol displayed in conjunction, and the data display is not information linked directly to the player, but when there are four holds Since it is disadvantageous to stop the launch of the game ball, the display of the number of reserved balls is the most noticed by the player. Therefore, in particular, it is necessary to distract the player's attention from the display of the number of reserved balls. Since the number-of-holds display changes at the time of symbol variation start display, it is necessary to attract attention by distraction notification before symbol pseudo variation start display. On the other hand, since the player pays attention to the symbol variation before the pseudo symbol variation stop display, even if the attention distraction notification is started at this time, the player may not be attracted effectively. Therefore, it is effective to start during the symbol pseudo-determined display immediately before the pseudo symbol variation stop display, particularly during the symbol pseudo-determined display. Furthermore, it is desirable to start immediately before the symbol pseudo variation start display during the symbol pseudo confirmation display.

  In addition, the time from the symbol variation start display to the symbol variation stop display that is performed as a result display based on the first lottery is determined at the time of winning the starting opening that triggered the first lottery. Also good.

  In addition, the time from the symbol variation start display to the symbol variation stop display that is performed as a result display based on one lottery may be determined when the first lottery is performed.

  Here, an example in which the notice notification by the notice notification means introduced in the above-described embodiment is taken into account will be described.

  The quasi-continuous variation has little effect of enhancing the player's game interest simply by continuously performing the symbol variation, and it is common to enhance the player's game interest by performing a quasi-continuous effect. For example, symbol variation start display, “chance!” Sound notification, symbol pseudo variation stop display, symbol pseudo fixed display, symbol pseudo variation start display, “still chance!” Sound notification, symbol pseudo variation stop display, symbol Pseudo-confirmed display, symbol pseudo-variation start display, “Large chance!” Sound notification, symbol variation display as super reach variation display, symbol variation stop display (winning), symbol confirmation display Enhancing the interest of the player's game by continuously performing the performance. At this point, when a warning distraction notification is given, the symbol variation start display, “Chance!” Sound is notified, the symbol pseudo-variation stop display, and the symbol pseudo-confirmation display are informed with another sound! (Notice distraction notification), symbol pseudo-variation start display, “Still chance!” Sound alert, symbol pseudo-variation stop display, symbol pseudo-decision display alert “sound once again” and the lamp fully lit, symbol pseudo Change start display, “Large chance!” Sound notification, symbol change display as super reach change display, symbol change stop display (hit), symbol fixed display, distract attention, and pseudo continuous notice It is possible to increase the interest of the player's game while not being noticed. Since the present invention is characterized in that this distraction notification is performed other than pseudo-continuous variation, when applied to an example other than pseudo-continuous variation, a symbol variation start display, “Chance!” Sound notification, symbol variation During stop display and symbol confirmation display, the sound is announced once again and the lamp is fully lit, the symbol variation start display, the symbol “Still chance!” Is sounded, symbol variation stop display, symbol confirmation display ”Turn!” And the lamp is fully lit, symbol change start display, “Large Chance!” Is indicated by sound, symbol change display is super reach change display, symbol change stop display (winning), symbol confirmation display, etc. Become. However, if the expectation of the last change in the continuous notice is not determined at the beginning of the continuous notice over a series of symbol changes, even if the continuous notice effect is started, the continuous notice effect is started. Whether or not the end of the jackpot is the same as the lottery probability of the lottery performed at the end of the continuous notice, the expectation of the jackpot due to the start of the continuous notice is not different from the expectation of the jackpot of normal fluctuations, the player May be annoyed by such a series of notices. Therefore, in the case of performing distraction notification other than pseudo continuous fluctuation, it is desirable to perform continuous notice corresponding to pseudo continuous notice and when the notice is being executed. In other words, the fluctuation other than the pseudo continuous fluctuation may be a fluctuation accompanied by a notice of notice. Examples of pseudo-continuous notice and continuous notice include those having a story, those in which the same effects are repeated, and those in which similar effects are gradually emphasized.

  Note that continuous notice and pseudo-continuous notice may be combined. In the previous example, the symbol variation start display, “Chance!” Sound notification, symbol variation stop display, and the symbol confirmation display during the symbol confirmation display, “Lamp once again” sound, all lamps lit, symbol variation start display , “Small chance!” Sound, symbol pseudo-variable stop display, symbol pseudo-confirmed display “another!” Sound, all lamps lit, symbol pseudo-variation start display, “Large chance!” Sound In this case, notification, symbol variation display, super reach variation display, symbol variation stop display (winning), symbol confirmation display may be used. (1) As the number of consecutive performances becomes more rooted in the player's consciousness, the second distraction notice is easier to distract the player than the first distraction notice. It can be said that the third distraction notice is easier to distract the player than the distraction notice. In addition, (2) the fact that the number of reserved balls does not decrease despite the end of symbol variation as in the pseudo-continuous notice, the total symbol variation is less than the decrease in the number of retained balls despite the end of symbol variation. Since the percentage of the game is small, if there is nothing happened, the number of reserved balls will decrease when the symbol change ends (conversely, the player will normally hold the number of reserved balls even after the symbol change ends) If you see a scene where the number of reserved balls has not decreased, the impression will remain in your mind for a while, so you may be wary of displaying the number of reserved balls. Here, when trying to shorten the fluctuation time per unit time of one symbol change by combining the continuous notice and the pseudo continuous notice (three pseudo continuous notices are 50 seconds for one change, 2 Quasi-continuous notice + 1 continuous notice will be shortened by 15 seconds per change), and the first change will be easier for the player to pay attention to the hold lamp of the player's attention. From (1), it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice that the pseudo continuous notice is being performed. On the other hand, if pseudo-sequential notices are made in the order of continuous notices, the player is more likely to notice that the pseudo-sequential notices are given from (1), and the successive productions after (2) It may become easy to notice. In addition, the time from the symbol variation start display to the symbol variation stop display that is performed as a result display based on one lottery is determined when the lottery is performed. By making it easy for a long variation to be selected, the long variation can be applied to the pseudo-continuous notice, and the player may be prevented from thinking that the reach effect is redundant.

  The stop after super reach may be a symbol pseudo-variable stop display.

(Modification Q)
Conventionally, when a notice for a holding ball is made, notice information for making a notice when the main control unit obtains a random number for lottery based on a winning game ball (the lottery random number itself, whether or not a big hit There is a first method of acquiring information on the information and transmitting the notice information to the sub-control unit. In addition, there is a second method of acquiring the advance notice information based on the information stored in the hold that is not drawn at the time of the lottery at the time of starting the change, and transmitting the advance notice information to the sub-control unit. The first method is often transmitted together with a reserved ball number change command (specifically, information indicating an increase in the number of held balls) transmitted from the main control unit to the sub-control unit. In many cases, the main control unit is transmitted together with a change start command transmitted to the sub control unit. According to the first method, it is possible to notify the notice at the time of winning, so for example, when a game ball wins at the start opening and the random number obtained there is a random number with a high expectation value of jackpot, It is possible to make a notice with high expectation. For example, if a game ball wins at the starting point and a jackpot random number is obtained, a lottery based on the ball that has just won a prize will be made by notifying a loud sound “Zudon” at that time. Can be performed with high-impact notification, and the interest of the player can be enhanced. On the other hand, in the second method, notice information regarding other hold is acquired at the start of the lottery, and therefore, when the notice effect is performed in accordance with the start of the lottery, the lottery based on the latest notice information can be performed.

  Thus, both the first method and the second method are characteristic. However, the notice effect that is possible in the first method but not in the second method is a notice effect that is performed between the time a prize is received and the next start of change is not performed. When not mounted, it was supposed to be performed by the second method.

  However, when the development is proceeding by the second method, the specification is suddenly changed at one time, and there is a case where it is said that a notice effect is desired to be performed after winning a prize and starting the next variation. In this case, there is a problem that the person in charge of the control is forced to make a large correction of the control, and the development process is greatly delayed.

As a game stand to solve this problem,
“A series of symbol variation stop display that displays a variation of a symbol over a predetermined variation time based on the fact that a game ball has entered the start opening and stops displaying a predetermined stop symbol pattern after the variation time has elapsed. The symbol display means for executing, and when the stop symbol mode stopped and displayed by the symbol variation stop display is a specific symbol mode, the special game state transition means for shifting to the special game state advantageous to the player, When the symbol display means stops and displays the specific symbol aspect by the symbol variation stop display, the notice notification suggests that the symbol display means is likely to stop and display the specific symbol aspect before the stop display. A notice information acquisition unit for obtaining information on the basis of the establishment of the first condition and obtaining the notice information based on the establishment of the second condition different from the first condition. Gaming table "and the like, characterized.

  According to this gaming machine, the sub-control unit can perform a notice effect based on the notice information output based on a plurality of conditions, and can reduce an increase in work man-hours associated with the specification change. In addition, it is possible to prevent the fun of the game table itself from being lowered by the fact that the high level of entertainment of the game intended by the planner is not performed because the specification cannot be changed. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

  When the notice information acquisition unit is in the main control unit, the first condition may be that the game ball has won a start opening, and the second condition may be that a lottery is started.

  Further, the main control unit may transmit the acquired advance notice information to the sub control unit. In this case, the advance notice information acquired under the first condition may be output when the reserve ball increase command is output, and the advance notice information acquired according to the second condition may be output when the change start command is output. In addition, it may be output at an arbitrary command output timing such as a change stop command or a symbol confirmation command.

  Further, the sub-control unit may not perform the notice effect based on the notice information acquired under the first condition, but may perform the notice effect based on the notice information obtained according to the second condition. The notice effect may be performed based on the notice information acquired under the first condition, and the notice effect may not be performed based on the notice information acquired according to the second condition. Since both are sent in order to be able to respond flexibly even if there is a specification change, if it is a specification that only performs a notice effect based on the notice information of only one of them, it is unified to either This is because the program capacity of the sub-control unit can be reduced.

  Further, the notice notifying means may differ between the notice effect produced based on the notice information acquired under the first condition and the notice effect produced based on the notice information obtained according to the second condition. There are cases in which the processing load can be reduced by providing a notice in advance suitable for each.

  In addition, after the first winning, the establishment of the first condition is established before the establishment of the second condition, and the notice effect performed based on the establishment of the first condition is a sound effect. May be. At this time, it is desirable that the sound notified as the notice effect is output from a dedicated channel or an abnormality / error notification channel. In the case of notification from an abnormality or error notification channel, it is desirable that the abnormality or error notification sound is given priority over the sound that is notified as a notice effect. This is because if the sound that is notified as the notice effect has priority over the abnormality or error notification sound, there is a risk that cheating is promoted.

(Modification example R)
Conventionally, when a notice for a holding ball is given, notice information for giving a notice when the main control unit obtains a random number for lottery based on a winning game ball (the lottery random number itself, whether or not a big hit Or the like), and the advance notice information is transmitted to the sub-control unit. This method is often transmitted together with a reserved ball number change command (specifically, information indicating an increase in the number of held balls) transmitted from the main control unit to the sub-control unit. However, since this method gives a notice at the time of winning a prize, if the conditions for notification such as the gaming state change from the time of winning the start opening to the start of the lottery, it can not be flexibly handled, and when the gaming state changes If notice information based on the gaming state after the change is not transmitted again to the sub-control unit, there may be an effect that gives a sense of incongruity. This is a problem listed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-344526.

  However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-344526 provides an invention in which a notice effect is not performed immediately before the gaming state is switched as a countermeasure for this problem. If it does in this way, since the notice effect is not performed, there was a possibility that the interest of a game might fall.

As a game stand to solve this problem,
“A series of symbol variation stop display that displays a variation of a symbol over a predetermined variation time based on the fact that a game ball has entered the starting port and stops and displays a predetermined stop symbol form after the variation time has elapsed. The symbol display means for executing, and when the stop symbol mode stopped and displayed by the symbol variation stop display is a specific symbol mode, the special game state transition means for shifting to the special game state advantageous to the player, When the symbol display means stops and displays the specific symbol aspect by the symbol variation stop display, the notice notification suggests that the symbol display means is likely to stop and display the specific symbol aspect before the stop display. A notice information acquisition unit for obtaining notice information for performing the first notice information when the state at the time of the lottery is the first state and the state at the time of the lottery. Amusement machine, characterized in that to obtain the second advance notice information when it is second state, the "and the like.

  According to this gaming machine, it is possible to provide a notice effect that can be handled regardless of whether the lottery is in the first state or the second state, and it is possible to prevent the gaming interest from deteriorating.

  The first state may be a special figure high probability state, and the second state may be a special figure low probability state.

  The notice information acquisition part is provided in the main control part, the main control part outputs the notice information to the sub control part, and the notice notifying means of the sub control part performs the notice effect based on the notice information from the main control part. May be executed. This may eliminate the need for troublesome control such as re-acquiring notice information and outputting it to the sub-control unit when the gaming state changes.

  Note that the first notice information and the second notice information may be acquired at the same timing.

Note that the first notice information and the second notice information may be output to the sub-control unit at the same timing (Modification S).
In the modified example S, when the usual figure hold is pre-read and the hold is included, the notice for the lottery of the special figure 1 based on the winning of the first special figure starting port 126 is not performed. .

  In the modified example S, the lottery in FIG. 2 and the announcement of the lottery result are made difficult to interrupt during the advance notice for the lottery in FIG. The purpose is to complete the notice with just one.

  That is, “a first start port and an open obstruction member (electrical chew) are provided, and when a predetermined open lottery is won, the obstruction of the open obstruction member is released for a predetermined period, so that a prize can be won. In a gaming machine having a starting port and a third starting port, the first starting port stores a predetermined number of gaming balls and the second starting port receives a gaming ball. A first prize storage section for storing up to a predetermined number, a second prize storage section for storing up to a predetermined number of game balls won at the third start opening, and the first prize storage.

For example, the decoration symbol display 110 in the case of winning a small hit ends the variation display of the decoration symbol, the first symbol 1101 of the decoration 7 is displayed in the left symbol display area 110a, and the decoration symbol display 110b in the middle symbol display area 110b. 6 second symbols 1102 are displayed, and the third symbol 1103 of decoration 7 is displayed in the right symbol display area 110c. Also, the 4th symbol also finishes the variable display and continues to light red. Further, for example, the decorative symbol display device 110 in the case of losing also ends the variable symbol display, the first symbol 1101 of the ornament 7 is displayed in the left symbol display area 110a, and the ornament 6 is displayed in the middle symbol display area 110b. The second symbol 1102 is displayed, and the third symbol 1103 of the decoration 7 is displayed in the right symbol display area 110c. That is, “decoration 7-decoration 6-decoration 7”, which is the same as the combination of the decorative symbols when winning a small hit. On the other hand, the 4th symbol which has finished the variable display continues to be lit in blue. That is,
The stop symbol form includes a plurality of first symbols and second symbols in which the display order of the variable display is predetermined,
In the second specific symbol mode, the first symbol other than the specific one first symbol is the same, and the display order of the specific one first symbol is before or after the other first symbol. And the said 2nd pattern is a 1st aspect,
The symbol stop mode in which the special gaming state starting means does not start a gaming state advantageous to the player is the same as the first symbol other than the specific one first symbol, and the specific one first symbol. The game table is characterized in that the display order is before or after the other first symbol and the second symbol is different from the first mode.
It may be. By doing so, since the difference between the small win and the stop display of the loss is only the 4th symbol, it can be difficult to determine that the small win is won. In addition, in the case of performing false continuous notice based on the small hit, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice that the false continuous notice is performed based on the small hit.

(Appendix 50)
If the acquisition of the corresponding random number is the first small hit that becomes the condition for starting the pseudo-continuous, the variable winning opening 130 is opened once, and the acquisition of the corresponding random number does not become the condition for starting the pseudo-continuous (the hidden probability variation is changed). In the case of the second small hit (for smelling), the variable winning opening 130 may be opened a plurality of times (the same number of times as when the 2R probability is changed). That is,
The second specific design aspect includes a third design aspect,
When the symbol display means stops displaying the third symbol aspect, the variation time of the variation display is the short variation time,
The special game state transition means starts a third special game state advantageous to the player on the condition that the symbol display means stops and displays the third symbol aspect,
The second special gaming state includes a large special gaming state and a small special gaming state that is less advantageous than the large special gaming state,
The special gaming state transition means starts the small special gaming state after stopping and displaying the first symbol mode (for example, a small hit by false continuous notice), and the second symbol mode (2R large bonus hit camouflaged small hit) Alternatively, the gaming machine is characterized in that the large special gaming state is started after the third symbol aspect (2R probability variation jackpot) is stopped and displayed.
It may be. In this way, when the first symbol form is stopped and displayed, the first special gaming state is not started and the small special gaming state is started while performing the effect expected by the player by the false continuous notice. For this reason, a player's discouragement by not starting a 1st special game state can be reduced. When the first symbol mode is stopped and displayed, the large special gaming state is started in the same manner as when the third symbol mode is stopped and displayed. The player can expect whether or not.

(Appendix 51)
One or all of the first symbol forms (small hits by false continuous notice) will stop the special figure if one or all of the second symbol aspects (small 2R jackpots) Close to the mode, one or all of the second symbol modes may be closer to the stop mode of the special graph at the time of 2R probability change than one or all of the first symbol modes. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), if the special figure display device 114 displays a symbol using a 7-segment LED, the number of segments and the lighting position are close to the special figure stop mode in the case of deviation. Alternatively, it may be close to the stop mode of the special figure at the time of 2R probability change. That is,
One or all of the first design aspects are closer to the special feature stop mode when not advantageous to the player than one or all of the second design aspects,
One or all of the second symbol aspects are closer to the third symbol aspect than one or all of the first symbol aspects.
It may be. By doing so, since the second symbol aspect is closer to the third symbol aspect than the first symbol aspect, the player can misidentify the second symbol aspect as the third symbol aspect, and the player The game can be continued. In addition, since the first symbol aspect is closer to the lost symbol aspect than the second symbol aspect, the first symbol aspect can have an impression far from the big hit.

(Appendix 52)
In the first special figure starting port 126 and the second special figure starting port 128, the distribution of the first small hit (the opportunity of continuous notice) and the second small hit (latent confusion) at the time of winning the small hit may be different. The second special figure starting port 128 may have a higher probability of being assigned to the first small hit than the first special figure starting port 126. That is,
The symbol display means includes a first symbol display means and a second symbol display means,
The start opening includes a first start opening, and a second start opening that is changeable between a state in which a game ball is easily won and a state in which a game ball is difficult to win,
The first symbol display means performs a variable stop display when a game ball enters the first start opening, and the second symbol display means stops a change when a game ball enters the second start opening. Display
A gaming machine characterized in that the second symbol display means is more likely to stop display the first symbol aspect than the first symbol display means.
It may be. By doing so, the second symbol display means can show the player more continuous notices than the first symbol display means.

(Appendix 53)
The second special figure starting port 128 may have a higher probability of continuous notice without being based on the small hit than the first special figure starting port 126. Note that the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 may perform a lottery with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/128) if the lottery result of the special symbol is out of order, and may perform a continuous notice based on the winning. That is,
The advance notice means performs the advance notice based on winning a lottery with a predetermined probability,
The game table characterized in that the symbol variation stop display based on the second symbol display means is more likely to win the lottery with the predetermined probability than the first symbol display means.
It may be. By doing so, the second symbol display means can show the player more continuous notices than the first symbol display means.

  Note that the type of special figure is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, all combinations of conditions such as the number of rounds of jackpot (2R or 15R), presence / absence of time reduction, presence / absence of probability change may be adopted.

(Appendix 54)
Moreover, as an aspect having the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the first special figure starting port (non-VIP) and the third special figure starting port (VIP) corresponding to the special figure 1 are provided, and the special figure 2 is also provided. Probability of starting the continuous notice when the second special figure starting port (electrical chew) is provided and the random number extracted in the third starting port winning is a specific small hit judgment value is the random number extracted in the first starting port winning May be higher than the probability of starting the continuous notice in the case of a specific small hit judgment value. That is,
The start port includes a third start port,
The first symbol display means performs a variable stop display when a game ball enters the third starting port,
It is possible for the notice notifying means to perform the notice notification in the symbol change stop display based on the entry of the game ball into the third start opening rather than the symbol change stop display based on the game ball entering into the first start opening. A game table characterized by high performance.
It may be. By doing so, it is possible to realize a game characteristic with a sharpness such that a direction with a sense of expectation is more easily developed when winning at the third starting opening than when winning at the first starting opening. There is.

  It should be noted that, even if the special figure starting port that is a specific small hit condition is the first special figure starting port or the third special figure starting port, the symbol indicating that the specific small hit is won The lottery for determining the symbol variation time for notifying the combination is performed under the same conditions.

(Appendix 55)
In addition, in the first start port and the third start port, the third start port may be harder to win the game ball than the first start port. That is,
A game table characterized in that it is more difficult for the third starting port to win a game ball than the first starting port.
It may be. In this way, the third starting opening is harder to win, so it makes it easier to give notices that are difficult to select in the symbol variation stop display based on the first starting opening winning. By doing so, it is possible to make the player think that an advance notice may be made, and there may be a case where the player can be interested in winning a prize at the third starting port.

(Appendix 56)

(Appendix α)
You may provide the special figure fluctuation | variation time change part which changes the fluctuation | variation time of a special figure when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  The special figure variation time changing unit may change the variation time based on an input of an operation unit operable by the player.

  Furthermore, when changing so that fluctuation time may be shortened, this special figure fluctuation time change part may make a shortening form different based on the movable aspect of a movable object. For example, when the initial position before the start of the shutter fluctuation is in the fully open state, when the shutter is fully open, the fluctuation time may be shortened more than when the shutter is fully closed. In this case, when the shutter is fully closed, it is performed in order to earn time from the fully closed position to the fully opened position that is the initial position. In addition, you may make it vary the symbol fixed display time based on the predetermined aspect of the movable aspect of a movable object.

  Further, in the gaming machine having the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the special figure fluctuation time changing unit can make the change to make the special figure fluctuation time longer than before the change only for the fluctuation of the special figure 2. Also good. In this case, the lottery shown in FIG. 2 may make it easier to obtain a lottery result more advantageous than the lottery shown in FIG. Further, the fluctuation of the special figure 2 may be performed with priority over the fluctuation of the special figure 1. As a result, for example, when it becomes easy to win a special figure 2 starting opening corresponding to special figure 2 in a normal figure high probability state or the like, if the player can continue to change at the special figure 2 starting opening, the special figure Since one lottery may be performed and an unfavorable jackpot may be won, it is most advantageous for the player to continue the game without taking a break. But sometimes you want to take a break. Therefore, only when the special figure 2 fluctuates, the special figure fluctuation time by the special figure fluctuation time changing unit can be changed to be longer than before the change. It should be noted that the special figure change time by the special figure change time changing unit may be changed to be longer than before the change, only when the special figure 2 is changing and during the short-time game. Here, the change in the special figure change time by the special figure change time changing unit during the change of the special figure 1 is not allowed to be made longer than before the change. This is because the number of times drops, and the operation of the amusement store becomes worse.

  In addition, in the game stand provided with special figure 1 and special figure 2, special figure 2 is preferentially changed over special figure 1, and special figure 2 is easy to obtain a lottery result more advantageous than special figure 1. The change in which the special figure change time by the time changing unit is longer than before the change is in a state where it is easy to win the special figure 2 starting opening, and the special figure 1 is changing, and the special figure 2 starting opening is changed. It may be performed only when there is no hold. In addition, when a predetermined number (for example, two) of suspensions of special figure 2 are accumulated during the fluctuation of special figure 1, the fluctuation time of special figure 1 may be shortened. If it is easy to win the special figure 2, it is not desirable that the lottery in the special figure 1 is performed. Therefore, if the special drawing 1 is not held and the lottery of the special figure 1 is performed, the lottery result for the lottery It is desirable that the fluctuation of the special map 1 for notification is as long as possible. However, if there are more than a certain number of holds in Special Figure 2, it is better not to stay long or to shorten it.

  In addition, in a conventional game stand, an arbitrary count value is acquired based on the winning of a game ball, a predetermined lottery is performed using the count value, and a game is advanced based on the lottery result. Is done.

  In such a conventional gaming table, there is known a gaming table that performs an effect called “notice notification” when a lottery result is a predetermined result. In this gaming machine, the lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player is performed using the acquired count value, and the lottery result is notified with a notice that suggests that the lottery result is advantageous to the player. Do before. Whether or not to perform the advance notice is determined before the lottery is performed based on the acquired count value.

  However, there are cases in which a plurality of gaming states are prepared in the gaming table, and the gaming state changes between the determination of whether or not to notify the notice and the lottery of the profit amount. In addition, the lottery result may differ depending on the gaming state. For this reason, when the game state changes, there is a case where it is necessary to make another notice determination, and there is a problem that the processing load is concentrated.

A gaming machine that solves the above problem is a gaming machine that takes a first gaming state and a second gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the first gaming state.
A count value acquisition unit that acquires an arbitrary count value based on the fact that the game ball has passed the predetermined area;
Based on the fact that a predetermined lottery condition is established, a predetermined lottery is performed using the count value. When the count value is a predetermined count value, the first gaming state and the second gaming state are Then, a lottery section for selecting different lottery results,
When the result of the lottery is a predetermined result,
A first game state determination of what kind of notice notification is to be performed in the first gaming state, and a second kind of notice notice that is to be given in the second gaming state. Before the lottery draws the game state determination, the game state determination is performed based on the count value acquired by the count value acquisition unit. The result of the first game state determination and the result of the second game state determination A pre-determination unit that acquires both determination results of both;
Of the two determination results, a notification notification determining unit that determines whether or not to perform the notification notification with reference to a determination result according to a gaming state at a timing when the notification notification unit should execute the notification notification. Prepared,
The advance notice unit performs the advance notice based on the fact that the advance notice determining unit determines to perform the advance notice.

  The predetermined lottery here may be a lottery of a profit amount to be given to the player, or a lottery of what kind of notice notification is performed. In addition, the above-mentioned notice notice widely means production. Further, the determination of what kind of notice notification is to be performed in each of the first gaming state determination and the second gaming state determination includes a notice notification time, a notice notification start timing, and a notice notification end timing. , The number of notifications, the notification mode, the notification pattern, the degree of effect in the notification, and the like. The advance notice time here includes 0 seconds, and the number of advance notices includes 0 times. That is, the determination of whether or not to make a notice is also included. Further, the effect form may be a moving image or a still image constituted by characters, figures, symbols, or a combination thereof, or a combination of these and a color, or an effect aspect by sound or light.

  According to the gaming machine that solves the above problem, there is a count value that is determined differently between the first gaming state and the second gaming state, and the determination of the count value also affects the advance notice. In such a case, information on the first gaming state and the second gaming state is acquired in advance, and the information is properly used based on the gaming state at the time of executing the notice notification. Therefore, the processing load of the game machine can be distributed.

In the game machine that solves the above problem, the lottery section
The lottery of the profit amount to be given to the player based on the fact that the predetermined lottery condition has been established is performed using the count value, and the second lot amount is larger than the first lottery result and the first lottery result. One of the lottery results including the lottery result is selected, and in the first gaming state and the second gaming state, the second gaming state is more The probability of selecting the second lottery result is high, and it is possible to hold the lottery up to a predetermined number of times, and if there is a hold, hold every time the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied The lotteries that are being performed may be performed in order.

  Here, the result of the first game state determination and the result of the second game state determination include the result of the lottery in addition to the result of determination such as whether or not to perform the advance notice. If there is a case where a notice notification is given, the determination result of the lottery result is also included. That is, the prior determination unit obtains a determination result of the lottery result in the first gaming state by performing the first gaming state determination, and the second game. By determining the state, the determination result of the lottery result of the lottery result in the second gaming state may be acquired. In addition, a symbol display unit for executing a series of symbol variation stop display from the symbol variation display to the display of the stop symbol representing the lottery result is provided, and the prior determination unit determines the first gaming state determination. To obtain a determination result indicating what kind of stop symbol the stop symbol representing the result of the lottery in the first gaming state becomes, and to determine the second gaming state by performing the second gaming state determination A determination result indicating what kind of stop symbol the stop symbol representing the result of the lottery in the gaming state may be acquired.

  Moreover, in the gaming machine that solves the above problem, the prior determination unit may output a determination result corresponding to the gaming state at the time of output to the notification notification determination unit. .

  The time of output here may be any time as long as it is within a period in which the gaming state does not change until the timing at which the notice notification unit should execute the notice notice, for example, at the time of the lottery.

In addition, in the game machine which solves the above problem, the game machine includes a determination result storage unit for storing both the determination results,
The prior determination unit may acquire both determination results having a data capacity smaller than the count value acquired by the count value acquisition unit.

  Moreover, in the gaming machine that solves the above problem, the prior determination unit performs the first gaming state determination and the second gaming state determination when the count value acquisition unit acquires the count value. It may be.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine that solves the above problem, a symbol display unit for executing a series of symbol variation stop display from displaying the symbol variation display until displaying the symbol representing the result of the lottery,
The above notice section
Before the symbol display unit displays the stop symbol, a preliminary notification that makes the player expect the result of the lottery to become the second lottery result is executed, and the lottery unit holds the lottery If a lottery using a count value for which a specific notice notification is to be included is included, a stop symbol representing the result of the lottery using the count value for which the specific notice notification will be performed is displayed. Before the display of each stop symbol in the symbol variation stop display of both the specific symbol variation stop display to be displayed and the previous symbol variation stop display performed one or more times before the specific symbol variation stop display Is to execute,
The notice notification determining unit refers to the determination result according to the gaming state before each display of the stop symbols for which the notice notification unit should execute the notice notification, and before each display of the stop symbols, It may be determined whether or not to notify the advance notice.

  In this way, if the count value is a count value that will give a notice of warning even after the gaming state has changed, the notice of notice is executed, and after the gaming state has changed, the notice value is not given. If there is, the notice notification will be cancelled.

  Here, the lottery result for which the advance notice has been issued is the second lottery result just because the advance notice unit has made a preliminary announcement that makes the player expect that the lottery result will be the second lottery result. It does not necessarily result in a lottery result.

An arbitrary count value is acquired based on having passed through the second predetermined region taking either one of the easy passage easy state and the relatively difficult passage difficult state,
The lottery unit acquires a lottery using the count value acquired based on the fact that the game ball has passed the second predetermined area based on the fact that the game ball has passed the first predetermined area. It may be performed with priority over the lottery using the count value.

  Further, in the gaming machine that solves the above problem, the gaming state is switched between the first gaming state and the second gaming state based on a predetermined condition, and the second gaming state is changed from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. An aspect may be provided with a gaming state switching unit that executes switching of the gaming state to the gaming state on at least one condition that the lottery by the lottery unit is performed a predetermined number of times.

  Here, the lottery unit includes the gaming state switching unit when the symbol display unit does not perform the lottery while the symbol variation stop display is being executed. The gaming state before the symbol display unit starts the symbol variation stop display coincides with the gaming state at the timing at which the notice notification unit should execute the notice notification.

  The lottery unit may not perform the lottery while the symbol display unit is executing the symbol variation stop display.

Furthermore, the lottery unit outputs information representing the result of the lottery to the symbol display unit,
When the lottery unit outputs information representing the result of the lottery to the symbol display unit, the preliminary determination unit notifies the previous notification of the determination result according to the gaming state at the time of output among the both determination results. You may output to a determination part.

  The time of output here may be any time as long as it is within a period in which the gaming state does not change until the timing at which the notice notification unit should execute the notice notice, for example, at the time of the lottery.
