Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

  Conventionally, when a game ball such as a pachinko machine enters a plurality of start holes provided on a game board surface, whether or not the game is successful is drawn by lottery, and a dynamic display of a special symbol for notifying the lottery result is performed. It is executed in the display device. In such a configuration, whether or not a game is won is individually drawn for each starting port, and the lottery result is a special symbol corresponding to each starting port (for example, the first special for two starting ports). After the symbol and the second special symbol) are dynamically displayed, the lottery result is notified. In this way, a configuration in which a plurality of special symbols can be dynamically displayed at the same time has been proposed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, when a game ball enters the first start port, dynamic display of the first special symbol is started, and when a game ball enters the second start port, the dynamic of the second special symbol is started. Start displaying. Therefore, when a game ball enters the start port corresponding to the other special symbol while either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is dynamically displayed, the first special symbol and the second special symbol Both display dynamic display at the same time. And if any one of the 1st special symbol and the 2nd special symbol stops in the display mode which reports jackpot, it will shift to jackpot game.

JP 2005-319221 A

  By the way, in such a gaming machine, when one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a big hit, depending on the remaining dynamic display time of the other special symbol that is being dynamically displayed (for example, If the suspended dynamic display is resumed from the suspended dynamic display time, the player cannot accurately recognize that the lottery result has been displayed, and the player There was a problem that caused confusion.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of suppressing confusion of a player in a gaming machine that dynamically displays a plurality of special symbols simultaneously.

  In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 includes main control means for performing main control of the game, and slave control means for executing control of the game based on a slave control signal from the master control means. The main control means determines whether or not the first lottery game is successful based on the establishment of the first success / failure determination condition, and determines whether or not the second lottery game is successful based on the establishment of the second success / failure determination condition. The sub-control means is configured so that the first identification information indicating the result of the first lottery game's success / failure determination by the success / failure determination means of the main control means satisfies the first success / failure determination condition. In order, the first display means that is dynamically displayed, and the second identification information indicating the result of the determination of whether or not the second lottery game is performed by the determination means of the main control means are moved in the order in which the second determination result is satisfied. A second display means for displaying the first identification information and the first identification information A display control unit capable of dynamically controlling the second identification information on the second display unit in the first display unit; When the first or second identification information is stopped and displayed on the first or second display means by the display control means in a display mode indicating a win, a privilege game advantageous to a player is given, and the main control A means for determining a dynamic display mode for dynamically displaying the first or second identification information in a predetermined dynamic display time based on a determination result of the determination unit; Display mode signal generating means for generating a display mode signal based on the dynamic display mode determined by the dynamic display mode determining means and outputting the display mode signal to the slave control means, and either the first or second identification information Hit When the other first or second identification information is in dynamic display when the display is stopped in the display mode, an interruption signal is generated to instruct interruption of the dynamic display. And a management signal generating means for generating a restart signal instructing the restart of the suspended dynamic display based on the completion of the privilege game based on the display control signal of the slave control means. The dynamic display mode indicated by the display mode signal is dynamically displayed on the first or second display unit based on the reception of the display mode signal, and the slave control unit has received the display mode signal. Based on the dynamic display time measuring means for measuring the time of the dynamic display, the subordinate time management means for interrupting the measurement of the dynamic display time measuring means based on the reception of the interruption signal, Having received a resume signal Based on the measurement time of the dynamic display time measuring means, the remaining dynamic display time of the suspended dynamic display mode is determined based on the remaining dynamic display time And a secondary redisplay mode determining means for determining a dynamic redisplay mode that is a dynamic display mode to be displayed during the remaining dynamic display time of the first or second identification information.

  The gaming machine according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the follow-up re-display mode determining means determines that the remaining dynamic display time is equal to or less than a reference time. While determining the short dynamic redisplay mode which is the dynamic redisplay mode configured with the dynamic display time within the reference time, it is determined that the remaining dynamic display time is longer than the reference time In this case, the normal dynamic redisplay mode, which is the dynamic redisplay mode configured with a dynamic display time longer than the reference time, is determined.

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, the game control is executed by the slave control means in accordance with the slave control signal from the master control means for executing the main control of the game. In the main control means, the success / failure determination of the first lottery game is executed by the success / failure determination means based on the establishment of the first winning / failure determination condition. In addition, based on the establishment of the second winning / failing determination condition, whether or not the second lottery game is successful is executed by the winning / failing determination means.

  In the slave control means, the first display means performs dynamic display of the first identification information indicating whether the first lottery game is successful or not by the success / failure determining means in the order in which the first success / failure determination condition is satisfied. Moreover, the dynamic display of the 2nd identification information which shows the success determination result of the 2nd lottery game by a success / failure determination means is performed by a 2nd display means in order with which the 2nd success / failure determination conditions were satisfied. Here, the first identification information is the first display means, the second identification information is the second display means, and can be dynamically displayed by the display control control means.

  Then, a bonus game that is advantageous to the player is given when the result of the success / failure determination by the success / failure determination means becomes a win and the first or second identification information is stopped and displayed in a display mode indicating the win by the display control means. . Accordingly, the second identification information can be dynamically displayed even when the first identification information is dynamically displayed, and the first lottery game and the second lottery game can be efficiently executed.

  In the main control means, the dynamic display mode determining means determines the dynamic display mode for dynamically displaying the first or second identification information in a predetermined dynamic display time. Based on the dynamic display mode determined by the dynamic display mode determination unit, a display mode signal is generated by the display mode signal generation unit and output to the sub control unit. Then, when either the first or second identification information is stopped and displayed in a display mode indicating winning, if the other first or second identification information is being dynamically displayed, the dynamic display An interruption signal for instructing interruption is generated by the management signal generation means. On the other hand, based on the end of the bonus game based on the hit, the management signal generating means generates a restart signal instructing to restart the suspended dynamic display.

  Further, in the sub control means, based on the reception of the display mode signal, the dynamic display mode indicated by the display mode signal is displayed on the first or second display unit by the display control unit. Based on the reception of the display mode signal from the main control means, the dynamic display time is measured by the dynamic display time measuring means. Based on the reception of the interruption signal from the main control means, the measurement of the dynamic display time measurement means is interrupted by the subordinate time management means. On the other hand, based on the reception of the restart signal from the main control means, the remaining dynamic display time of the suspended dynamic display mode is determined from the measurement time of the dynamic display time measurement means, and the remaining According to the dynamic display time, the dynamic display mode that is the dynamic display mode to be displayed in the remaining dynamic display time of the first or second identification information that has been interrupted is determined by the follow-up redisplay mode determining means Is done.

  Therefore, when starting the dynamic display of the first or second identification information that has been interrupted during the bonus game, the dynamic redisplay mode according to the remaining time is determined, so that the player The lottery result can be informed easily in a dynamic re-display mode according to the display time.

  Further, even if the main control means does not select the dynamic redisplay mode in accordance with the remaining dynamic display time and instruct the slave control means, the slave control means performs dynamic replay according to the remaining dynamic display time. Since the display mode is determined, the control load on the main control means can be reduced. Therefore, even in a gaming machine that executes the first lottery game and the second lottery game at the same time, various effects of the game can be performed while suppressing an increase in the load on the main control means. Therefore, there is an effect that confusion of the player can be suppressed.

  According to the gaming machine of the second aspect, in addition to the effect achieved by the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the following effect is achieved. That is, in the sub control means, when it is determined that the remaining dynamic display time is equal to or shorter than the reference time, the short dynamic replay mode is a dynamic redisplay mode configured with a dynamic display time within the reference time. The display mode is determined by the follow-up redisplay mode determination means. On the other hand, when it is determined that the remaining dynamic display time is longer than the reference time, the normal dynamic redisplay mode is determined by the follower redisplay determination means.

  Therefore, the dynamic redisplay mode can be determined in accordance with the remaining dynamic display time. Therefore, even when the remaining dynamic display time is short, by determining a dedicated dynamic redisplay mode, it is possible to notify the player of the determination result of the lottery game in an easy-to-understand manner. is there.

The plate 60 is driven and fixed.

  A distribution winning device 630 is provided at the lower center of the game area. FIG. 4A is a perspective view of the distribution winning device 630 when viewed from the front. FIG. 4B is a perspective view of the distribution winning device 630 when viewed from the back.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the regular prize winning device 630 is provided with an ordinary electric accessory 64 at the top. In the normal state, the ordinary electric accessory 64 is disposed in a state where the facing blades 64a and 64b stand upward at an interval (the diameter of the game ball is about 11 mm) that allows the game ball to enter about one ball. . In the normal state (the state in which the blades 64a and 64b stand up), the route through which the game balls enter the distribution device 630 is only the route that passes between the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64. The player first fires a game ball so that the game ball passes between the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64.

  When a game ball enters the distribution device 630, the passive distribution member 640 is disposed, and the received game ball is received by the accommodating portion 640a or 640b of the passive distribution member 640. When a game ball is received in the housing portion 640a, the passive sorting member 640 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the front (see FIG. 4A) due to the weight of the game ball, so that the game ball is moved to the first start port. Guide to 63a. Here, each of the passive sorting members 640 is configured to be able to rotate about 90 degrees around the left and right, and a magnet 640c is provided on a boundary wall between the housing portion 640a and the housing portion 640b.

  In the base body 900 provided on the back side of the sorting and winning device 630, the magnet 640c of the passive sorting member 640 is disposed at a position on the center line between the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64. Has been. As shown in the top view of the sorting and winning device 630 shown in FIG. 4C, the magnet 640c of the passive sorting member 640 and the base side magnet 900a are configured to have repulsive polarities. Specifically, the base-side magnet 900a is composed of a rod-shaped magnet fixed to the base body 900, and is configured to generate a magnetic pole (S pole or N pole) at the tip. The base-side magnet 900a is arranged and fixed so that the tip end portion faces the passive sorting member 640 side.

  The magnet 640c of the passive sorting unit 640 is also composed of a bar-like magnet like the base-side magnet 900a, and is fixed to the passive sorting member 640 so that the tip part faces the base-side magnet 900a side. At a position where the passive sorting member 640 rotates and the boundary wall between the housing portion 640a and the housing portion 640b is located directly above (the opposing blades 64a and 64b are on the center line of the space where a game ball can enter approximately one ball). The base-side magnet 900a and the magnet 640c of the passive sorting member 640 are closest to each other (the tip portions face each other). Here, since the magnets are arranged so that the polarities are the same (for example, N pole and N pole), the rebounding may stop at a position where the boundary wall of the passive sorting member 640 faces directly above. It will be maintained in the position rotated to either the right or left.

  As a result, when the magnet 640c is positioned on the center line between the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64 (upward position), the passive sorting member 640 has the magnet 640c and the base-side magnet 900a. By repelling, the passive sorting member 640 rotates to the left or right, and either the storage unit 640a or the storage unit 640b receives a game ball that enters the sorting device 630 (upper side of the gaming machine). Turn to face. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ball that has entered the ball from coming into contact with the boundary wall between the housing portion 640a and the housing portion 640b and causing a ball clogging.

  In addition, the magnet 640c and the base-side magnet 900c are repelled, and for example, after the storage unit 640a receives the game ball and rotates about 90 degrees to the left to guide the game ball to the first start port 63a, It is possible to prevent the sorting member 640 from rotating right (the housing portion 640a faces upward). As a result, after guiding the game ball to the first start port 63a, the storage unit 640b is directed upward, and the game ball that has entered the sorting device 630 is received by the storage unit 640b, and the game ball The passive sorting member 640 rotates about 180 degrees to the right due to the weight of, and guides the game ball to the second starting port 63b. As described above, the passive sorting member 640 can alternately guide the game balls entering the sorting device 630 to the first starting port 63a and the second starting port 63b. Therefore, the game balls can be equally distributed to the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b for winning, and a lottery game (hereinafter referred to as the first lottery) caused by winning the first start port 63a, which will be described later. Game) and a lottery game (hereinafter referred to as a second lottery game) resulting from winning in the second start port 63b can be efficiently executed.

  A normal symbol start port 67 is provided on the left side of the center of the game board 13. The normal symbol start port 67 is a gate type and includes a start port having a sensor that can detect the passage of a game ball. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol start port 67, the normal symbol (second symbol) is drawn. In the lottery performed for the game ball passing to the normal symbol start port 67, whether or not the normal symbol is hit is determined.

  When the normal symbol (the second symbol) is drawn, the normal symbol variation display is started in the second symbol display unit 88 provided in the variable display device unit 80, which will be described later, and “O” and “X” are displayed. After the symbols are alternately turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds), the normal symbol indicating the lottery result (in the present embodiment, the symbol “◯” or “×”) is stopped (lit). When a ball passes through the normal symbol start port 67 while the variable symbol is displayed on the second symbol display unit 88, the number of passages is held up to a maximum of four times, and the number of balls held is the first symbol display device 37. Is displayed.

  When it is determined that the normal symbol is won, the second symbol display section 88 is lit and displayed with a symbol “◯” indicating that the normal symbol lottery has been won. When the winning symbol is displayed, the ordinary electric accessory 64 is activated, and the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64, which is normally maintained in the upright state, stand up substantially vertically. It moves substantially in a V shape (inverted C shape) and guides the game balls by the blades 64a and 64b, so that the game balls can easily enter the sorting device 630 for a predetermined time (1.2 s in this embodiment). Become. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal symbol is out, the symbol “x” indicating that the normal symbol lottery is out is displayed on the second symbol display section 88.

  A first symbol display in which a plurality of light emitting diodes (hereinafter abbreviated as “LED”) 37a and a 7-segment display 37b, which are light emitting means, are provided in the upper right part of the gaming area when viewed from the front (upper right part of FIG. 2). A device 37 is provided. The first symbol display device 37 displays information corresponding to each control performed by the main control device 110 described later, and mainly displays the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10. The plurality of LEDs 37a illuminate the number of held balls, which is the number of balls (holding balls) whose variation display is not executed among the balls won at the first starting port 63a, the second starting port 63b, and the normal symbol starting port 67. This is indicated by the state. In addition, the number of rounds of big hits and error indications are also indicated by corresponding lighting states.

  The 7-segment display 37b is composed of two 7-segment LEDs on the left and right. On the left 7-segment LED, the first special symbol indicating the determination result of the first lottery game is variably displayed (dynamically displayed). Specifically, the variable display is performed until the variable time (dynamic display time) determined based on the winning at the first start port 63a elapses (in the present embodiment, the center segment of the seven segments blinks). After that, the display is stopped with a symbol indicating the determination result. In the case where the determination result is off, a symbol “-” indicating that the center segment is off is displayed. On the other hand, when the determination result is a win, a symbol different from the symbol indicating a deviation such as symbols “3” and “7” corresponding to the win is displayed. The second lottery game is configured similarly to the first lottery game. In addition, LED37a is comprised so that the light emission color (for example, red, green, blue) of each LED may differ, The various game states of the pachinko machine 10 can be suggested with few LEDs by the combination of the light emission color.

  Moreover, although the variation pattern (variation mode or dynamic display mode) in the pachinko machine 10 will be described later, a variation time is set for each variation mode and corresponds to a dynamic display mode related to time information. Furthermore, the variation pattern can be divided into a long variation pattern with a relatively long variation time and a short variation pattern with a relatively short variation time by a variation pattern that becomes reach and a variation pattern that does not reach. As described above, even when the time is roughly sorted according to a constant reference (here, reach, non-reach, or reference time (for example, whether it is longer than 10 seconds)), the dynamics related to the time information Corresponds to the display mode.

  As will be described later, the time information until the fluctuation start time corresponds to the time when the fluctuation starts accurately, and the time information of the rough fluctuation pattern described above (for example, whether it is a long-time fluctuation pattern). Information on time information (for example, the number of long-time variation patterns performed before the start of variation) is also applicable.

  In the pachinko machine 10, in the lottery performed for the winning to the first start port 63a or the second start port 63b, whether or not a big hit is determined (a big win lottery) is determined, and the determination of the big hit type is also performed. Do. As the jackpot type determined here, 15R normal jackpot, 15R probability variation jackpot, and 2R probability variation jackpot are prepared. The jackpot symbol displayed on the LED 37b is a symbol indicating the type of jackpot (in this embodiment, for example, “9” for 15R regular jackpot, “7” for 15R probability variation jackpot, “3” for 2R probability variation jackpot, for example. Is displayed).

  Here, the “15R normal jackpot” is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds. After the jackpot, a special symbol jackpot random number table 202a (see FIG. 8B) for low probability, which will be described later, is used. It is a win when a game is set. “15R probability variation jackpot” is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds. After the jackpot, a special symbol jackpot random number table 202a (FIG. 8B) for high probability, which will be described later, is set. That is. “2R probability variable jackpot” is a jackpot of 2 rounds, and after the jackpot, a special symbol jackpot random number table 202a (FIG. 8B) for high probability, which will be described later, is set. That is.

  The game area is provided with a plurality of general winning openings 79 through which 5 to 15 balls are paid out as winning balls when the balls win. In addition, a variable display device unit 80 is disposed in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 has a third symbol (the first symbol) in synchronism with the variable display on the first symbol display device 37 with a winning (starting award) to the first starting port 63a or the second starting port 63b as a trigger. A third symbol display device 81 composed of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply referred to as “display device”) that performs variable display of the special symbol and the second special symbol is provided.

  The third symbol display device 81 is composed of a large 8-inch liquid crystal display, and the display content is controlled by a display control device 114, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. In the display area Dm1, three symbol rows of left, middle, and right indicating the first special symbol which is one of the third symbols are displayed. Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols, and these symbols are vertically scrolled for each symbol row, and the third symbol (first special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner on the left display area Dm1 of the third symbol display device 81 ( Dynamic display). In the third symbol display device 81 of the present embodiment, the display of the gaming state accompanying the control of the main control device 110 is performed by the first symbol display device 37, whereas the display of the first symbol display device 37 is performed. The decorative display is performed accordingly. Instead of the display device, for example, the third symbol display device 81 may be configured using a reel or the like. Further, the second special symbol which is one of the third symbols is also displayed in the right display area Dm2 in the same manner as the first special symbol.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 5, the display content of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the display screen of the third symbol display device 81, and FIG. 5 (a) is a diagram schematically showing area division setting and effective line setting of the display screen, FIG. 5B is a diagram exemplifying before and after rearrangement of the reserved symbol display on the actual display screen.

  The third symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is composed of 10 kinds of special symbols with numbers “0” to “9”. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the lottery result by the main controller 110 described later is a big hit, the same main symbols are aligned (for example, “777”), and the variable display is performed. Is configured to generate a jackpot after the end.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 is mainly divided into upper and lower parts, and the third symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is displayed in the upper display area Dm. And a display area for displaying a holding symbol (the number of the first lottery game and the second lottery game on hold) in the lower display area Ds. The upper display area Dm is configured so as to be divided into a left display area Dm1 and a right display area Dm2. Mainly, in the left display area Dm1, the first special symbol indicating the determination result of the first lottery game based on the winning to the first starting port 63a is variably displayed. On the other hand, in the right display area Dm2, the second special symbol indicating the determination result of the second lottery game based on the winning to the second starting port 63b is variably displayed.

  In the left display area Dm1, three symbol rows L1, L2, and L3 of left, middle, and right are displayed. In each of the symbol rows L1 to L3, the above-described third symbols are displayed in a prescribed order. That is, the main symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order of the numbers in each of the symbol rows L1 to L3, and the symbols are scrolled from top to bottom with a periodicity for each of the symbol rows L1 to L3. In particular, in the left symbol row L1, the main symbol numbers are arranged so as to appear in descending order, and in the middle symbol row L2 and the right symbol row L3, the main symbol numbers appear in ascending order. On the other hand, the second special symbol is displayed in the right display area Dm2 in the same manner as the first special symbol, and the symbol rows R1, R2, and R3 are displayed, and the variable display is similarly performed.

  Further, the third symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line U1 in the left display area Dm1 and the right display area Dm2. If the third symbol is stopped with a combination of jackpot symbols on the active line (in this embodiment, the same main symbol combination), the jackpot moving image is displayed as a jackpot.

  On the other hand, the lower display area Ds is provided horizontally longer than the upper display area Dm, and is further equally divided into eight small area reserved symbol display areas Ds1 to Ds8 in the left-right direction.

  On the actual display screen, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), a total of three special symbols (third symbol) are displayed in the upper display area Dm, respectively in the left display area Dm1 and the right display area Dm2. The

  In the present embodiment, winnings to the first start port 63a or the second start port 63b are each suspended up to four times. If a game ball wins at the first start opening 63a while the first special symbol is variably displayed, the start of the first lottery game based on the winning is suspended, and the reserved symbol display area (Ds1 to Ds8) in the lower display area Ds. ) In the display area in which no reserved symbol is displayed, “○”, which is the reserved symbol of the first lottery game, is displayed in the lowest-numbered reserved symbol display area (the reserved symbol display area on the left side). .

  In addition, when a game ball wins the second start opening 63b while the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, as in the case where the first start opening 63a wins, the reserved symbol “●” below the second lottery game is displayed. It is displayed in the reserved symbol display areas (Ds1 to Ds8) in the side display area Ds.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the description will be continued. When a game ball enters the distribution winning device 630, the distribution ball 640 (see FIG. 4) distributes the game ball to the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b in order. Whether or not the second special symbol is variably displayed when the first start symbol 63a is won in a state where the variation display of the first special symbol is stopped and there is no hold in the first lottery game. Regardless, the first special symbol is variably displayed in the left display area Dm1, and then stopped. On the other hand, when a game ball wins at the second start opening 63b, the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner regardless of whether or not the first special symbol is in a variable display.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 10 is configured such that the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be simultaneously displayed in the left display area Dm1 and the right display area Dm2 at the same time. Therefore, the first and second lottery games can be efficiently executed by distributing the game balls to be alternately awarded to the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b by the distribution and winning device 630. it can. As will be described later, in the first lottery game and the second lottery game, the lottery for determining whether or not to execute the jackpot game is executed. In comparison, it is possible to increase the number of lotteries, and to increase opportunities for players to win jackpots.

  In the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 composed of the first lottery game and the second lottery game has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or four or more lottery games and corresponding start-ups are performed. Of course, each mouth may be provided so that the lottery results can be displayed in a variable manner at the same time.

  In this embodiment, the distribution winning device 630 has a mechanical configuration (a game ball distribution configuration by the passive distribution member 640). However, each time the game ball wins with only one start opening, Of course, it may be configured to alternately distribute the start opportunity of the first lottery game and the start opportunity of the second lottery game. With this configuration, it is not necessary to provide a mechanism for distributing game balls on the game board surface, and the game area can be used effectively.

  When a game ball wins the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b, a first start port switch or a second start port switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on. The main controller 110 makes a lottery lottery due to the first start port switch and the second start port switch being turned on, and a display corresponding to the lottery result is shown on the first symbol display device 37. Further, the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b are also one of the winning ports from which five balls are paid out as winning balls when a ball is won.

  If either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit, if the other special symbol is in a variable display, the variable display is temporarily suspended and the jackpot game ( For example, if 15 rounds are a normal jackpot, after the 15 rounds of jackpot game), the special symbol variation display is continued for the remaining variation time.

  The variation display for the remaining variation time is displayed in a variation mode dedicated to the remaining variation display so that the player can recognize that the variation display is the remaining variation display for the suspended variation display. In addition, as a variation mode dedicated to the remaining variation display, a variation display mode that matches the remaining variation time is selected. Specifically, when the remaining fluctuation time is equal to or less than the reference time (3 seconds or less in the present embodiment), the characters “The lottery result of the fluctuation display that was temporarily stopped is displayed!” After being displayed on the 3 symbol display device 81 for the remaining fluctuation time, it is stopped and displayed in a display mode showing the determination result. Then, in accordance with the determination result being stopped and displayed, the text “The lottery result of the variable display that was temporarily stopped has been displayed!” Is displayed and continues to be displayed until the next variation is started.

  On the other hand, when the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), all the main symbols constituting the special symbol are displayed in a variable manner at a constant speed, and the characters “temporarily stopped fluctuation” are displayed. A notification mode indicating that the display is changing is displayed. Thereafter, when the remaining fluctuation time elapses, the main symbols are stopped and displayed all at once with the symbols indicating the determination results.

  By comprising in this way, a player can recognize that it is a continuation of the variable display of the special symbol interrupted on the way, and can recognize that it is the lottery result of the interrupted variable display. it can. Therefore, even if the variable display is interrupted in the middle, the player can be prevented from playing the game with dissatisfaction or doubt that the lottery has disappeared in the middle.

  In addition, when either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol indicating the big hit, if the other special symbol is in a state where the variable display is stopped, a new variable display is displayed. Starting is prohibited. When the jackpot game ends, the variable display is set to be able to start again based on winning in the corresponding start openings 63a and 63b.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent the trouble that the lottery game is executed in the other special symbol even during the jackpot, and the occurrence of the jackpot overlaps, or that the player cannot concentrate on the jackpot game.

  Further, when the remaining fluctuation time is short, there is a problem that even if the continuation of the interrupted fluctuation mode is displayed, the player overlooks it or is too short to understand the notification result. However, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10, if the remaining time is within the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), the notification result is displayed after notifying the player that the lottery result is to be displayed immediately. Therefore, the player can recognize that the notification result that has been interrupted (temporarily stopped) is displayed.

  Furthermore, even after the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the character that informs that the interrupted variation display has been stopped is displayed, so the remaining variation time is very short (for example, within 1 s) In addition, the player can recognize that the interrupted variation display is effective and the determination result is stopped.

  In addition, even when the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), the player is notified that the notification result that has been interrupted (temporarily stopped) is being displayed in a variable manner. The person can easily recognize that the interrupted variation display is effective without disappearing.

  In the present embodiment, when the suspended display of the suspended first special symbol or second special symbol is resumed, the player is informed to that effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, it may be configured to notify by a lamp or the like. In addition, the suspended change, such as a display mode (for example, displayed by an animation notifying that the character or the like has resumed the suspended display) that the player has resumed. Naturally, the notification may be made in a display mode dedicated to resuming the display. By doing in this way, the player can correctly recognize that the interrupted variation display has been resumed.

  Also, in this embodiment, when either of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit, if the other special symbol is in variable display, the variable display is interrupted. However, this is not limited to this, but during the jackpot game, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted, but the variation display of the special symbol is continued and the remaining variation time is measured after the jackpot game. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the special symbol is changed and displayed again.

  By configuring in this way, since the special symbol continues to fluctuate during the jackpot game, the player can confirm that the other fluctuating display will continue without disappearing, You can play jackpot games with peace of mind.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when either one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a big hit, if the other special symbol is in the variable display, the variable display is interrupted. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the lottery game may be executed as usual by continuing the variable display without interruption.

  By configuring in this way, even during the jackpot game, it becomes possible to perform a lottery game, it becomes possible to make more lottery games in a short time, and the player can play a lot of lottery games Can be done. In such a configuration, when one of the jackpot games is stopped and displayed with a symbol indicating that the other special symbol is winning, the execution of the jackpot game is delayed until one jackpot game ends (stock ), The player can play the jackpot game continuously.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the variation display mode of the first special symbol or the second special symbol displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is displayed in the variation mode dedicated to the remaining variation display. However, the remaining variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol displayed on the first symbol display device 37 may be displayed in a variation mode dedicated to the remaining variation display. Specifically, when the remaining variable display is to be displayed on the 7-segment display 37b, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed while blinking. Alternatively, the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is lit in the remaining color dedicated to the variable display (for example, blue) and displayed. By doing in this way, not only the third symbol display device 81 but also the first special symbol or the second special symbol displayed on the 7-segment display 37b, the remaining variation display is displayed to the player. Can be notified.

  Further, like the first special symbol or the second special symbol displayed on the third symbol display device 81, the variation display mode may be changed depending on the remaining variation time.

  In addition, during interruption, the first special symbol or the second special symbol may be blinked and displayed in a predetermined display manner “for example, alphabet h” in a predetermined cycle. By configuring in this way, it is possible to notify the player that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is temporarily stopped (suspended).

  A horizontally-long rectangular variable winning device 65 is arranged on the lower right side of the game area. In the pachinko machine 10, when the lottery regarding the first lottery game or the second lottery game jackpot in the main control device 110 becomes a jackpot, the first symbol is set so that after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) has elapsed, a jackpot stop pattern is obtained. The symbol display device 37 is turned on, and a stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the corresponding display area (the left display area Dm1 or the right display area Dm2) of the third symbol display apparatus 81, thereby indicating the occurrence of the jackpot. . Thereafter, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) where the ball is easy to win. In this special gaming state, the special winning opening 65a that is normally closed is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have elapsed or ten balls have been won).

  The specific winning opening 65a is closed when a predetermined time elapses, and after the closing, the specific winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening / closing operation of the variable winning device 65 is determined according to the determined jackpot type. For example, if it is a 15R normal jackpot, it can be repeated up to 15 times (15 rounds). The state in which the opening / closing operation is performed is a form of a privileged gaming state that is advantageous to the player, and the player is given out a larger amount of prize balls than usual to give gaming value (game value). Is done.

  Specifically, when the variable winning device 65 is stopped and displayed with a symbol indicating that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is winning based on winning in the first starting port 63a or the second starting port 63b, The opening / closing operation is set based on the jackpot type, and the specific winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time or until a predetermined condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, until 30 seconds elapse or 10 balls are won). Is done.

  The variable winning device 65 includes a horizontally-long rectangular opening / closing plate that covers the specific winning opening 65a, and a large opening solenoid (not shown) for opening and closing forward with the lower side of the opening / closing plate as an axis. . The special winning opening 65a is normally closed so that the ball cannot win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big hit, the large opening opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate to the lower front side to temporarily form an open state in which the ball is likely to win the specific winning opening 65a. It operates to repeat the state and the state alternately.

The RAM 203 is provided with a counter buffer (see FIG. 7) for storing various counters for controlling these processes.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 7, a counter and the like provided in the RAM 203 of the main controller 110 will be described. These counters and the like are used for the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 in order to perform jackpot lottery, display setting of the first symbol display device 37 and third symbol display device 81, lottery of the display result of the second symbol display unit 88, and the like. Used in.

  The jackpot lottery and display settings of the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 include a special symbol random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery and a special hit type counter C2 used for the selection of the jackpot symbol. A variation pattern determination counter C3, an initial value random number counter CINI1 used for setting an initial value of the special hit random number counter C1, and a variation type counter CS1 used for variation pattern selection are used. In addition, the normal winning random number counter C4 is used for lottery of the normal symbol (second symbol display unit 88), and the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 is used for setting the initial value of the normal winning random number counter C4. Each of these counters is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value.

  Each counter is updated, for example, at an interval of 2 milliseconds, which is the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), and some counters are not included in the main process (S1000) (see FIG. 17). It is updated periodically and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 203. As will be described in detail later, the RAM 203 stores counter values for winning for the first special symbol holding ball execution area 203c1 and the second starting port 63b for storing each counter value for winning for the first starting port 63a. A second special symbol holding ball execution area 203c2 is provided. In the present embodiment, the first starting port 63a and the second starting port 63b are each provided with a maximum of four retaining balls, and a total of eight retaining balls can be stored. For this reason, when the game ball wins during the period when the special symbol can be drawn, such as when the special symbol is not being displayed in a variable manner or when the special symbol is not being a big hit game, Is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c1, and when a game ball wins the second starting port 63b, each counter value is stored in the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c2. On the other hand, during a period when the special symbol lottery is not possible, such as during the fluctuation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol or during the big hit game of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, When winning at the second start opening 63b, if the number of reserves for the winning start opening is less than the upper limit (four in this embodiment), each counter value is acquired, and the winning start opening Is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b. In addition, when the number of reserves for the winning start opening is equal to or greater than the upper limit value (four in this embodiment), each counter value is not acquired and five prize balls (in this example, five game balls). Only) are treated as invalid balls to be paid out to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit value of the number of reserved balls is four for each of the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b. However, the upper limit value is not limited to four, and may be four. You may not make it.

  Each counter shown in FIG. 7 will be described in detail. The special hit random number counter C1 is incremented one by one within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 399) and reaches 0 after reaching the maximum value (for example, 399 in the case of a counter that can take a value of 0 to 399). The configuration is back. In particular, when the special hit random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the initial value random number counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the special hit random number counter C1.

  The initial value random number counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the special hit random number counter C1. That is, for example, when the special hit random number counter C1 is a loop counter that can take a value of 0 to 399, the initial value random number counter CINI1 is also a loop counter in the range of 0 to 399. The initial value random number counter CINI1 is updated once every execution of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process (S1200) (see FIG. 33).

  The value of the special hit random number counter C1 is updated, for example, periodically (once every timer interruption process in the present embodiment), and the ball wins the first starting port 63a or the second starting port 63b (starting winning). At the timing, it is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c1 or the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c2 corresponding to the winning start opening of the RAM 203. The value of the random number for the big hit is set by the big hit random number table 202a (FIG. 8B) stored in the ROM 202 of the main controller 110, and the value of the special hit random number counter C1 is set by the big hit random number table 202a. If the value of the random number that is a big jackpot (in this embodiment, “7” when the probability is low, “0-9” when the probability is high), the jackpot is determined.

  The special hit random number counter C1 in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured as a 2-byte loop counter in the range of 0 to 399. In this special hit random number counter C1, the number of random numbers (hit values) that are jackpots is 1 when the probability is low, the value “7” is 10 when the probability is high, and the value “0-9” is the jackpot It is stored in the random number table 202a.

  The special hit type counter C2 determines the jackpot type when the jackpot is reached, and is incremented one by one within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 99), and the maximum value (99 in this embodiment). After reaching the value, it returns to 0. The value of the special hit type counter C2 is updated, for example, periodically (once every timer interruption process in this embodiment), and the ball wins the first start port 63a or the second start port 63b (start win). Is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c1 or the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c2 of the RAM 203 corresponding to the winning start opening.

  Here, the value of the special hit random number counter C1 stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c1 or the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c2 is not a random number that is a big hit, that is, a random number that is out of place. For example, the variation pattern in the variation display effect and the type of stop symbol (hereinafter referred to as “stop type”) are those at the time of removal. On the other hand, if the value of the special hit random number counter C1 stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c1 or the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c2 is a big hit, the change pattern or stop in the variable display effect The type will be that of the jackpot. In this case, the variation pattern and stop type at the time of the big hit are determined corresponding to the big hit type indicated by the value of the special hit type counter C2 stored in the same special symbol holding ball execution area 203c.

  The value of the special hit type counter C2 in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured as a loop counter in the range of 0-99. The jackpot type is determined based on the special jackpot type counter C2 and the jackpot type table 202b (see FIG. 8C) stored in the ROM 202. Here, as shown in FIG. 8A, the ROM 202 stores various tables. FIG. 8B schematically shows an example of the first jackpot random number counter table 202a, and FIG. 8C schematically shows an example of the jackpot type table 202b. The jackpot type table 202b (FIG. 8C) is a table in which the jackpot type is associated with the value of the special jackpot type counter C2.

  As described above, the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, and the special symbol jackpot random number table 202a (see FIG. 8 (b)) for low probability is set after the jackpot game, as described above. A special symbol jackpot random number table 202a (see FIG. 8 (b)) for a high probability after a jackpot game with 15 rounds is set to “15R probability variable jackpot”, with a maximum probability of 2 rounds and a high probability after a jackpot game There is a “2R probability variation jackpot” in which a special symbol jackpot random number table 202a (see FIG. 8B) is set.

  In the jackpot type table 202b, the value of the special jackpot type counter C2 for determining the jackpot type is associated with each jackpot type. In the example of FIG. 8C, the value “60 to 99” of the special hit type counter C2 is associated with the 15R normal jackpot, and the value “0 to 49” of the special hit type counter C2 with respect to the 15R probability variable jackpot. Are associated with the value “50 to 59” of the special hit type counter C2 for the 2R probability variation big hit.

  When the value of the special hit random number counter C1 is a big hit, the first special symbol holding ball execution area 203c1 or the second special symbol holding ball execution area 203c2 in which the value of the special hit random number counter C1 is stored The jackpot type associated with the value of the special jackpot type counter C2 stored in is determined from the jackpot type table 202b. For example, if the value of the special hit type counter C2 is “20”, the 15R probability variable big hit is determined as the big hit type, and if the value of the special hit type counter C2 is “80”, the normal hit type of 15R is the big hit type). It is determined.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the case of a jackpot, the 15R normal jackpot is selected with a probability of about 40%, the 15R probability jackpot is selected with a probability of 50%, and the 2R probability jackpot with a probability of 10%. A jackpot type table 202b is defined to be selected.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the various counters will be continued. For example, the variation pattern determination counter C3 is incremented by one within a range of 0 to 198, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 198), and then returns to 0. In addition, the variation type counter CS1 is incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 100, for example, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 100) and then returns to 0.

  The values of the variation pattern determination counter C3 and the variation type counter CS1 are updated, for example, regularly (in this embodiment, once for each timer interrupt process), and the ball is changed to the first start port 63a or the second start port. The first special symbol or the second special symbol is not variably displayed at the timing of winning a prize (start winning) 63b, and is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b. When the various counter values of the reserved ball are not stored, they are stored in the first special symbol reserved ball execution area 203c1 or the second special symbol reserved ball execution area 203c2 of the RAM 203.

  FIG. 10A is a diagram schematically showing an example of the normal special hit fluctuation pattern table 202 d stored in the ROM 202. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the normal special variation pattern table 202d is a case where the special symbol jackpot random number table 202a for high probability is set in the jackpot random number table 202a (hereinafter referred to as a normal gaming state). ), 15R jackpots that are referenced when 15R jackpots are determined, and 15R jackpots that are referred to when 2R probability jackpots are determined as 15R jackpots and 15R jackpots are determined. Are classified into groups (groups) based on the 2R probability variation jackpot dedicated to be referred to when the value is determined, and the value of the variation type counter CS1 is associated with each of the divided groups. When the value of the special hit random number counter C1 is a value that is a big hit (win value), it is stored in the execution area according to the big hit type corresponding to the value of the special hit type counter C2 stored in the same execution area. A variation pattern group is selected from among the variation pattern groups corresponding to the value of the variation type counter CS1. Then, the variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination counter C3 stored in the execution area.

  The 15R jackpot includes various types of normal reach, various types of super reach, and various types of premier reach. The correspondence with the value of the variable type counter CS1 is 0 to 10 for various types of normal reach, 11 to 95 for various types of super reach, and 96 for various types of premier reach. It is ~ 100. The various types of Nordreach are reach where the fluctuation time is short, and after the short reach, the 1st pattern (or 3rd pattern) is aligned (so-called bita-stopped pattern is aligned). This is a variation pattern in which the first symbol (or the third symbol) is aligned after reaching a variation time longer than normal reach (for example, reach that develops from long reach or normal reach). The 1st symbol (or 3rd symbol) is aligned after time reach (for example, reach that develops further after super reach, special reach that develops from normal reach is different from super reach), etc. In this case, the variation pattern is not selected.

  Note that “various reach” means that there are a lot of different contents in each reach. For example, in the super reach, a reach that changes the back image quickly and a certain character is displayed. There is a reach or the like that suddenly displays, and in addition, a plurality of reach with different contents of the production are included, such as a notice effect before the start of variable display is added, or an effect that is a big hit in re-variable display.

  In the case of 2R probability variation big hit, the 2R probability variation dedicated variation pattern is selected regardless of the value of the variation type counter CS1 and the value of the variation pattern determination counter C3. The 2R probability variation dedicated variation pattern is, for example, a special variation pattern in which a special symbol is stopped at “341” and the fact that the 2R probability variation is won is notified.

  FIG. 10B is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a normal extraordinary deviation variation pattern table 202 e stored in the ROM 202. As shown in FIG. 10 (b), the normal special deviation variation pattern table 202e is a normal reach that has a relatively short variation time among normal irregularities and normal reach deviations that are completely out as a stop type at the time of withdrawal in the normal gaming state. It is composed of various types of normal reach (short) that are out of normal, various types of normal reach (long) that are out of normal reach that have a relatively long fluctuation time, and various types of super reach that are out of super reach.

  The correspondence between the variation type counter CS1 and each variation pattern group is as follows. When the value of the variation type counter CS1 is “0 to 29”, it is normally out of range, and when it is “30 to 60”, it is normal reach (short). ) In the case of "61 to 89", various types of normal reach (long) are determined, and in the case of "90 to 100", various types of super reach are determined.

  For the various types of normal deviation, normal deviation A and normal deviation B, in which the change display is completed in a short time and reach is not established, are set. When the value of the variation pattern determination counter C3 is “0 to 100”, the normal deviation A is selected, and when it is “101 to 198”, the normal deviation B variation pattern is selected. In addition, fluctuation patterns of normal reach shorts A to C are set for various types of normal reach (short) in which reach is established but fluctuation time is short. When the value of the variation pattern determination counter C3 is “0 to 70”, the normal reach short A is “71 to 128”, and the normal reach short B is “129 to 198”. The normal reach short C variation patterns are respectively selected. Similarly, variation patterns are selected for various normal reach lengths and various super reach types.

  FIG. 11A is a diagram schematically showing a special hit variation pattern table 202 d for time reduction / probability variation stored in the ROM 202. FIG. 11B is a diagram schematically showing a special time variation / probability variation deviation table 202e stored in the ROM 202. FIG. The special hit variation pattern table 202d for time reduction / probability change and the special hit variation pattern table for short time / probability change when the special symbol jackpot random number table 202a for high probability is set in the big hit random number table 202a (hereinafter, game) This is a table for selecting a variation pattern that is selected when a value of “0” or more is set in the hour / hour counter 203k (hereinafter, the gaming state is assumed to be the hour / short gaming state). .

  Since the selection of the fluctuation pattern is the same as that of the normal special fluctuation pattern table 202d and the normal special deviation fluctuation pattern table 202e, the description thereof will be omitted. Note that only one type of the special hit fluctuation pattern table 202d and the special outlier fluctuation pattern table 202e has been described here. However, the special special fluctuation pattern table 202d and the special special fluctuation pattern table 202d are special for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, respectively. The deviation variation pattern table 202e is set, and the distribution of the variation pattern determination counter C3 is changed between the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and the first special symbol and the second special symbol Thus, even if the value of the same variation pattern determination counter C3 is acquired, the same variation pattern is not selected. By configuring in this way, different variation patterns are easily selected for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and various effects can be produced.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the various counters will be continued. The normal hit random number counter C4 (see FIG. 8D) is configured as a loop counter that increments one by one within a range of 0 to 239, for example, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 239). The ball is stored in the normal symbol holding ball storage area 203h (see FIG. 7) of the RAM 203 at the timing when the ball passes the normal symbol start port 67. And the value of the random number which becomes the big hit of the normal symbol is set by the random number table 202c per normal symbol (FIG. 8 (d)) stored in the ROM 202 of the main controller 110, and the value of the normal random number counter C4 is If the value of the random number that is the winning set by the normal symbol random number table 202c matches, it is determined that the normal symbol is hit.

  Further, when the ordinary hit random number counter C4 makes one round, the value of the ordinary initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the ordinary hit random number counter C4. In this embodiment, the value of the normal random number counter C4 is updated every timer interruption process (see FIG. 14), and is acquired when it is detected that the ball has passed through the normal symbol start port 67 (through gate). . The number of random numbers to be won is 24 in the normal gaming state, and the range is “5-28”. Further, in the high probability gaming state, it is 200, and the range is “5 to 204”. That is, in the normal gaming state, when the acquired value of the normal random number counter C4 is in the range of “5 to 28”, it is determined to be a win, and in the high probability gaming state, the value of the acquired normal random number counter C4 is determined. Is in the range of “5-204”, it is determined that the player has won, and the symbol “◯” is lit on the second symbol display section 88 as the stop symbol (second symbol), and The operation of releasing the blades 64a and 64b for a predetermined time (1.2 s in the present embodiment) in the normal gaming state and for a predetermined time (1 s in the present embodiment) in the high probability gaming state is performed twice. The normal initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the normal hit random number counter C4 (value = 0 to 239), and is updated once every timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14). And repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process (S1200) (see FIG. 33).

  When the game ball passes through the normal symbol start port 67, when the variation of the normal symbol (second symbol) is not being displayed and each counter value based on the reserved ball is not stored in the normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203h, A random value is acquired from the normal hit random number counter C4 in the normal symbol holding ball execution area 203i and stored in the normal hit random number counter storage area 203i1. In addition, when the normal symbol (second symbol) is variably displayed or the random number value corresponding to the reserved ball stored in the normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203h is less than the upper limit value (four in this embodiment). Are stored in the normal random number counter storage area 203h1 corresponding to the number of holding times (normal symbol holding 1 to 4) corresponding to the random number value acquired from the normal hit random number counter C4. When a random number value is stored in each area, the normal symbol flag 203j is set to ON, and the normal symbol fluctuation display based on the random number value is stopped, or the previous hold is obtained by digesting the hold. When data is shifted to the area, it is set to off. Here, when the data is shifted, the normal symbol flag of the reserved area which is newly shifted and stored is set to ON. Whether the data is stored in the reserved area or whether the normal symbol is variably displayed is determined depending on which reserved area or the normal symbol flag of the execution area is turned on.

  As described above, the RAM 203 is provided with various counters and the like, and the main control device 110 performs the big win lottery and the display in the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 according to the value of the counter and the like. Major processes of the pachinko machine 10 such as setting and lottery of display results in the second symbol display section 88 can be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery between the first lottery game and the second lottery game is configured to select various common counter values. However, the first lottery game (first special symbol) and the second lottery game are selected. Set different counters for each game (second special symbol), and update them with different values by changing the update triggers and initial values of the various counters for the first lottery game and the second lottery game. Of course, the counter value may be configured.

  Thus, by configuring, in the lottery of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, even if the counter value is acquired at the same opportunity, different counter values can be acquired. The fluctuation pattern selected by the 1 special symbol and the 2nd special symbol and the malfunction that the determination result of the success / failure is synchronized can be suppressed.

  In addition, even if the variation pattern is selected from the common variation pattern table for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, a problem that the selected variation pattern is synchronized is suppressed, and various effects are produced. It can be performed. Further, the data stored in the RAM 203 of the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 can be suppressed, and an inexpensive configuration (using a RAM having a small storage area) can be achieved.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the description will be continued. In addition to the counter buffer shown in FIG. 6, the RAM 203 stores a stack area for storing the contents of the internal register of the MPU 201, the return address of the control program executed by the MPU 201, various flags and counters, and an I / O. And a work area (work area) in which values such as are stored. Note that the RAM 203 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 115 and the data can be retained (backed up) even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off, and all data stored in the RAM 203 is backed up. .

  When the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the stack pointer and the value of each register when the power is shut off (including when the power failure occurs, the same applies hereinafter) are stored in the RAM 203. On the other hand, at the time of power-on (including power-on due to power failure cancellation, the same applies hereinafter), the state of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before power-off based on information stored in the RAM 203. Writing to the RAM 203 is executed when the power is shut off by the main process (S1200) (see FIG. 33), and restoration of each value written in the RAM 203 is executed in a start-up process when the power is turned on (see FIG. 32). Note that the power failure signal SG1 from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 is input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPU 201 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Is input immediately, the NMI interrupt process (see FIG. 31) as a power failure process is immediately executed.

  The RAM 203 includes a first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a, a second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b, a first special symbol reserved ball execution area 203c, a second special symbol reserved ball execution area 203d, and a first special symbol reserved ball number. Counter 203e, second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203f, normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g, normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203h, normal symbol reserved ball execution area 203i, normal symbol flag 203j, hour / hour counter 203k, probability variation flag 203m, First jackpot flag 203o, second jackpot flag 203p, first variation stop flag 203q, second variation stop flag 203r, first variation time storage area 203s, second variation time storage area 203t, rearrangement pending storage area 203u, etc. Having at least a memory area 203v .

  The first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a is a storage area for storing various counter values acquired based on winning at the first start port 63a up to the upper limit number (four in this embodiment). is there. In addition, the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b stores various counter values acquired based on the fact that game balls have won the second start opening 63b up to the upper limit number (four in this embodiment). This is a storage area.

  The first special symbol reserved ball execution area 203c is a storage area in which various counter values for starting the variable display of the first special symbol are stored, and when the first special symbol stops variably displaying, the first special symbol is stored. When various counter values are stored in the holding ball storage area 203a, the various counter values are shifted and stored. The second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203d is a storage area in which various counter values for starting the variable display of the second special symbol are stored, and the details are the same as the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c. .

  The first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a, the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b, the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c, and the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203d are used for counters when a start winning is detected. The values of the special hit random number counter C1, the special hit type counter C2, the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 obtained from the buffer (see FIG. 7) are stored. When the MPU 201 detects that the ball has won the first start port 63a in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), the MPU 201 acquires the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 from the counter buffer, The special hit random number counter storage area 203a1, the special hit type counter storage area 203a2, the variation pattern determination counter 203a3, and the variation type counter storage area 203a4 of the reserved ball storage area 203a are stored. On the other hand, when it is detected that the ball has won the second start opening 63b, the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 are obtained from the counter buffer, as in the first special symbol holding ball storage area 203a, and corresponding to each. Each is similarly stored in an area (not shown).

  When the MPU 201 detects that it is the execution start timing of the fluctuating effect, in order to execute processing such as jackpot lottery, display setting of the first symbol display device 37 or the third symbol display device 81, etc. Of the data corresponding to each start prize stored in the special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a and the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b (each value of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1), it corresponds to one start prize. The data is shifted to the special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c. Note that the shift in the present embodiment indicates that data stored in one area is moved to another area.

  The first special symbol reservation ball number counter 203e and the second special symbol reservation ball number counter 203f are detected in a timer interruption process (see FIG. 14) periodically executed every 2 milliseconds. Based on the winning at the mouth 63a or the second starting port 63b, the number of balls to be held (the number of waiting times) of the variable display effect (variable display effect performed at the third symbol display device 81) performed by the first symbol display device 37 is determined. Each counter counts up to four times. The first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e and the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203f are set to zero as initial values by the initial setting process of the RAM 203 after power-on (FIG. 32, S1112). Then, each time a start winning is detected and the number of spheres with a variable display increases, 1 is added up to a maximum value of 4, respectively. On the other hand, the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203a and the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203b are decremented by 1 every time the variable display effect is executed.

  Further, the value of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e (that is, the number of reserved balls) is based on the counter value in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a based on the winning of the game ball at the first starting port 63a. Is stored, the voice lamp control device 113 is notified by the first special symbol reserved ball number command output from the main control device 110. The first special symbol reserved ball number command is a command transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sound lamp control device 113 every time a start winning is detected and the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is incremented by one. It is.

  The value of the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203f (that is, the number of reserved balls) is counted in the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b based on the winning of the game ball at the second start port 63b. Is stored, the voice lamp control device 113 is notified by the second special symbol reserved ball number command output from the main control device 110. The second special symbol reserved ball number command is a command transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sound lamp control device 113 every time a start winning is detected and the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203f is incremented by one. It is.

  When the values of the counters C1 to C3 and CS1 acquired from the counter buffer are stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c or the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203d, the MPU 201 Refer to the data stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c or the second special symbol reservation ball execution area 203d in the first variation start process (FIG. 16, S203) or the second variation start process (FIG. 20, S206). Then, the big hit lottery is performed based on the reference data, and the variation pattern and the stop type corresponding to the lottery result are determined. In the first symbol display device 37, a variable display effect is performed based on the determined variation pattern and stop type under the control of the main control device 110.

  The change pattern and stop type determined here are notified to the sound lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114 by the first or second change pattern command and stop type command. Then, under the control of the display control device 114, the third symbol display device 81 performs a variable display effect based on the variation pattern and the stop type notified by the variation pattern command and the stop type command.

  The normal symbol holding ball number counter 203g passes the normal symbol starting port 67 detected in the timer interruption process (see FIG. 14) periodically executed every 2 milliseconds (hereinafter referred to as “start winning prize”). On the first symbol display device 37 (the second symbol display unit 88 of the third symbol display device 81 and the variable display effect performed on the second symbol display device 88). It is a counter that counts the number of held balls (number of waiting times) up to 4 times each. The normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is a counter that stores the total number of reserved balls stored based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the normal symbol start port 67. The initial value is set to zero by the initial setting process of the RAM 203 after power-on (FIG. 32, S1112). Then, every time a start winning is detected and the number of balls on the variable display increases, 1 is added up to a maximum value of 4. On the other hand, the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is decremented by 1 every time the variable display effect is executed (see S106 in FIG. 29).

  The normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203h is a storage area for storing a normal hit random number counter C4 obtained from the counter buffer (see FIG. 7) upon detection of a start winning at the normal symbol start port 67. When the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 detects that the ball has passed to the normal symbol starting port 67 (start winning prize) in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), the MPU 201 of the normal control random number counter C4 from the counter buffer The value is acquired and stored in the normal random number counter storage area 203h1 of the normal symbol holding ball storage area 203h. The normal symbol flag 203j is turned on and stored (stored) in the normal symbol flag storage area 203h2. The normal symbol holding ball storage area 203h has four holding areas so that data corresponding to one start winning (the value of the counter C4, the normal symbol flag 203j) can be stored (held) up to four times. Yes. In the normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203h, the data of the reserved balls are stored in order from the reserved area in the order of digestion in the reserved areas in which the data is vacant in the order of passing (start winning prize) to the normal symbol starting port 67. Is done.

  Further, when the normal symbol holding ball execution area 203i detects that it is the execution start timing of the normal symbol variation display effect based on the start winning, each counter value is stored, and the normal symbol winning lottery or the first symbol This is a memory for storing data (the value of the counter C4) to be referred to in the process of setting the display (variation pattern) of the symbol display device 37 or the third symbol display device 81.

  When the MPU 201 detects that it is the execution start timing of the normal symbol variation display effect, the MPU 201 executes processes such as winning lottery and setting of the display of the second symbol display unit 88 or the second symbol display device 88. In addition, among the data corresponding to each start winning (the value of the normal random number counter C4) stored in the above-described normal symbol holding ball storage area 203h, the data corresponding to one starting winning is used as the normal symbol holding ball. Shift to execution area 203i. Note that the shift in the present embodiment indicates that data stored in one area is moved to another area.

  The normal symbol flag 203j is a flag indicating that the data of the normal random number counter C4 is stored and being held, and is a flag indicating that the normal symbol is in a variable display. When the value of the normal hit random number counter C4 is stored in the normal symbol holding ball execution area 203i or the normal symbol holding ball storage area 203h, it is set to ON. In addition, when the value of the normal hit counter C4 is shifted to the next reserved area (the reserved area corresponding to the reserved number in which the reserved number is reduced and one reserved number is reduced), the value of the reserved area before the shift is changed. The normal symbol flag 203j is set to OFF, while the normal symbol flag 203j of the reserved area that has been shifted and stored is set to ON. Further, when the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is subjected to the fluctuation stop process, the normal symbol flag 203j is set to OFF.

  The hour / hour counter 203k is a counter area in which the hour / hour number 100 is set after the 15R normal jackpot game is executed. When the time reduction count is set, the normal symbol random table for high probability is set in the normal symbol random table 202c until the time reduction count is set to zero. In addition, when the symbol “◯” indicating the winning of the normal symbol is displayed on the second symbol display unit 88, the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64 have a longer opening time than in the normal gaming state (in this embodiment, 1s) The opening operation is repeated twice. Hereinafter, this gaming state is referred to as a time-saving gaming state.

  The hour / hour counter 203k is decremented by 1 every time the first special symbol or the second special symbol stops changing display. When the value of the hour / hour counter 203k becomes 0, the normal symbol is changed from the hour / short gaming state. When the random number table for the normal symbol for the low probability of the winning random number counter 202c is set and the symbol “◯” indicating the normal symbol hit is displayed on the second symbol display unit 88, the release time is 0.2 s. By setting the number of times of opening once, the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64 are opened.

  The probability variation flag 203m is a flag indicating that the gaming state is a high probability gaming state. In the first special symbol or the second special symbol, it is notified that the 15R probability variable jackpot game has been won, and when the 15R probability variable jackpot game is executed, a flag that is set to ON based on the fact that the jackpot game has ended It is. On the other hand, if the probability variation flag 203m is set to ON and is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol or the second special symbol indicating the big hit (all types), it is set to OFF, and after the big hit game, depending on the big hit type, If it is 15R probability variation jackpot or 2R probability variation jackpot, it is set to ON.

  The first jackpot flag 203o is a flag that is set to ON when it is determined that the acquired value of the special hit random number counter C1 is a win based on winning the first start port 63a. Also, when the jackpot game ends, it is set to off.

  The second jackpot flag 203p is a flag that is set to ON when it is determined that the acquired value of the special hit random number counter C1 is a win based on winning the second start port 63b. Also, when the jackpot game ends, it is set to off.

  The first fluctuation stop flag 203q is a flag indicating that it is determined that the jackpot determination of the second special symbol is a win while the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. In a second special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 21, S717) executed by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110, which will be described later, it is set to ON. Further, in the first special symbol fluctuation stop process (FIG. 19, S603), the first special symbol fluctuation display is set to OFF when the temporary display is temporarily stopped.

  The second stop flag 203r is a flag indicating that it is determined that the jackpot determination of the first special symbol is a win while the second special symbol is variably displayed. In a first special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 17, S407) executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110, which will be described later, it is set to ON. Further, in the second special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 23, S803), the second special symbol variation display is set to OFF when the temporary stop processing is executed.

  The first variation time storage area 203s is a storage area where the variation time of the first special symbol is counted (measured). The first variation time storage area 203s counts the variation time (counts the number of interrupts) when the first special symbol starts to be varied, and measures the variation time (2 ms for one interrupt).

  The second variation time storage area 203t is a storage area where the variation time of the second special symbol is counted (measured). The second variation time storage area 203t counts the variation time (counts the number of interrupts) when the second special symbol starts to vary, and measures the variation time (2 ms for one interrupt).

  In the present embodiment, the first variation time storage area 203s and the second variation time storage area 203t measure the variation time by counting the number of interrupts. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and obtains time measurement data from the RTC at the time of the variation start. The configuration may also be such that timekeeping data is acquired and the fluctuation time is measured at any time thereafter. In addition, it is naturally possible to have a configuration in which the variation time for variation display is stored in advance and the value is subtracted as needed.

  The rearrangement storage area 203u is the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch processing (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch processing (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area for storing each determination result determined based on each data of the holding areas 1 to 4 stored in the storage area.

  FIG. 9A is a diagram schematically showing the rearrangement storage area 203u. The rearrangement hold storage area 203u corresponds to a pending data storage area in which each determination data corresponding to each hold count of the hold areas 1 to 8 is stored, and a first special symbol and a second special symbol that are being displayed in a variable manner. And a changing data storage area in which each determination data to be stored is stored.

  In each of the holding areas 1 to 8 of the pending data, the determination result storage area 203u1, the jackpot type storage area 203u2, the variation pattern type storage area 203u3, the variation order storage area 203u4, the variation start time storage area 203u5, and the prefetching probability variation flag 203u6. Are provided. In addition, the reservation areas 1 to 8 are stored in order from the reservation area 1 in the order in which the respective reservation balls are established (the overall establishment order in which the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b are combined). In other words, the reserved areas 1 to 8 indicate the order in which the reserved balls are established in the pachinko machine 10 by combining the reserved balls of the first special symbol and the reserved balls of the second special symbol.

  In the variable display data storage area, corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the determination result storage area 203u1, the big hit type storage area 203u2, the fluctuation pattern storage area 203u3, and the prefetching probability change flag 203u6 are provided. It has been.

  The determination result storage area 203u1 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). Is a storage area for storing the result of determining in advance whether or not the special hit random number counter C1 is stored.

  The jackpot type storage area 203u2 is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch processing (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch processing (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area for storing the jackpot type determined by the stored special hit type counter C2.

  The variation pattern type storage area 203u3 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the type of variation pattern determined based on the various data stored in is stored. This variation pattern is data that can identify which variation pattern is the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the data in the reserved area is the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is also used as data for identifying whether the data is.

  The variable display order storage area 203u4 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the actual change display start order in the reserved areas 1 to 8 determined based on the various data stored in is stored. The change display start order is specifically determined by calculating the change start time of a newly stored hold ball and comparing the change start time of each hold ball previously stored. .

  The fluctuation start time storage area 203u5 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area for storing the time until each calculated data in the reserved areas 1 to 8 actually starts the variable display based on the various data stored in. It should be noted that when this variable display start time is stored in the holding area, it is updated as needed in other processing (S112) of the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 14) executed by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110.

  The prefetch probability change flag storage area 203u6 predicts that the type of the stored big hit type storage area 203k2 is 15R probability change big hit or 2R probability change big hit in the first prefetch update process (FIG. 26, S933) described later (determined in advance). ), The storage area is set to ON and stored. In addition, every time the data is shifted and stored in the upper reservation area, the pre-reading probability change flag storage area 203u6 is set to OFF because all the areas before the shift are cleared to zero. That is, the look-ahead certainty flag storage area 203u6 once set to ON is shifted to the changing data storage area and is set to OFF by overwriting (shifting) new data in the changing data storage area. . Further, when the gaming machine is turned on and the RAM clearing process is executed, the initial value is set to OFF.

  In the pachinko machine 10, each data in the rearrangement storage area 203u is backed up and stored in a backup area (not shown) of the RAM 203 when the power is cut off. When the power is turned on again, it is read from the stored backup area and set.

  The other memory area 203v is an area for temporarily storing other counter values and the like used by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110.

  In this way, when a game ball wins at the first start port 63a or the second start port 63b and a hold ball is generated, each of the hold balls including the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b is arranged according to the formation order. Various determination data of the holding ball is stored. Therefore, by generating the winning command based on the rearrangement hold storage area 203u, the audio lamp control device 113 establishes the holding combining the first special symbol and the second special symbol based on the winning command. A command to be output to the display control device 114 can be generated so as to display the reserved symbols in order. Therefore, it is possible to display on the third symbol display device 81 the hold symbol display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the order in which the hold is made by combining the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  In addition, since the variable display start order of each hold is also determined and stored in relation to the establishment order, the voice lamp control device 113 receives the command by generating a winning command based on the variable display start order. Based on the winning command that has been made, it is possible to determine the order in which the holds are made and the actual change display start order.

  In addition, since the change start time of each hold is stored in each hold area and the time is managed (updated as time elapses), the change display start order of the newly stored hold data can be easily performed. Can be determined.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the description will be continued. An input / output port 205 is connected to the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 via a bus line 204 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 205 is driven to open and close forward with the lower side of the opening / closing plate of the payout control device 111, the sound lamp control device 113, the first symbol display device 37, the second symbol display portion 88, and the specific winning opening 65a as an axis. A solenoid 209 made up of a large opening solenoid for driving and a solenoid for driving an electric accessory is connected, and the MPU 201 transmits various commands and control signals to these via the input / output port 205.

  The input / output port 205 is connected to various switches 208 including a switch group and a sensor group (not shown), and a RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) circuit 253 provided in the power supply device 115, and the MPU 201 is connected to the input / output port 205. Various processes are executed based on signals output from the various switches 208 and the RAM erase signal SG2 output from the RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) circuit 253.

  The payout control device 111 drives the payout motor 216 to perform payout control of prize balls and rental balls. The MPU 211, which is an arithmetic unit, includes a ROM 212 that stores a control program executed by the MPU 211, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 213 that is used as a work memory or the like.

And a work area (work area) in which values such as I / O are stored. The RAM 213 is configured to be able to retain (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 115 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off, and all data stored in the RAM 213 is backed up. As with the MPU 201 of the main controller 110, the power failure signal SG1 is also input to the NMI terminal of the MPU 211 from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. When input to the MPU 211, an NMI interrupt process (see FIG. 22) as a power failure process is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 215 is connected to the MPU 211 of the payout control device 111 via a bus line 214 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The main control device 110, the payout motor 216, the firing control device 112, and the like are connected to the input / output port 215, respectively. Although not shown, the payout control device 111 is connected to a prize ball detection switch for detecting a prize ball that has been paid out. The prize ball detection switch is connected to the payout control device 111 but is not connected to the main control device 110.

  The launch control device 112 controls the ball launch unit 112a so that the launch strength of the ball according to the rotational operation amount of the operation handle 51 is obtained when the main control device 110 gives an instruction to launch a ball. The ball launching unit 112a includes a launching solenoid and an electromagnet (not shown), and the firing solenoid and the electromagnet are permitted to be driven when predetermined conditions are met. Specifically, the operation handle 51 is detected on the condition that the touch sensor 51a detects that the player is touching the operation handle 51 and the stop switch 51b for stopping the ball firing is turned off (not operated). The firing solenoid is excited in accordance with the amount of rotation 51, and a ball is launched with a strength corresponding to the amount of operation of the operation handle 51.

  The sound lamp control device 113 outputs sound in a sound output device (such as a speaker (not shown)) 226, outputs light on and off in a lamp display device (lighting units 29 to 33, display lamp 34, etc.) 227, and variable display effects ( The display control device 114 controls the setting of the display mode of the third symbol display device 81 and the like performed by the display control device 114.

The audio output device 226 is controlled and the display control device 114 is instructed to rearrange the displayed reserved symbol display in the order of the variable display start.

  The vibration sensor 228 is attached to the back surface of the game board 213. In the pachinko machine 10, winning at the winning opening becomes an important factor for determining the gaming state, so it is necessary to change the flow of the ball by vibration and prevent intentional winning at the winning opening. Therefore, when it is determined from the output of the vibration sensor 228 that vibration has been given to the pachinko machine 10 by a player or the like, an error command for transmitting the vibration error is transmitted to the display control device 114. In addition, the sound lamp control device 113 determines an error according to a command from the main control device 110 or a situation of various devices connected to the sound lamp control device 113, and sends an error command including the type of the error. It transmits to the display control device 114. The display control device 114 performs control to display an error message image corresponding to the error type (for example, vibration error) indicated by the received error command on the third symbol display device 81 without delay.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the secondary rearrangement storage area 223k is the same data as the rearrangement reservation storage area 203u of the RAM 203 in the main control device 110, based on the winning command output from the main control device 110. Is a storage area that is stored based on a winning command output from the main control device 110 to the sound lamp control device 113.

  FIG. 9B is a diagram schematically showing this secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k. The secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k stores a hold area of pending data from the hold area 1 to the hold area 8, and various data of the first special symbol and the second special symbol that are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 81. And a storage area for data during variable display. Each holding area includes a determination result storage area 223k1, a jackpot type storage area 223k2, a variation pattern type storage area 223k3, a variation order storage area 223k4, a variation start time storage area 223k5, a follow reading probability change flag storage area 223k6, and a rearrangement flag 223k7. Each data extracted from the received winning command is stored in the corresponding reserved area. Further, each time a display variation pattern command for starting the variation display of the special symbol is generated, the data in the reserved area of the secondary rearrangement reserved storage area 223k is shifted to the previous reserved area and stored. In the case of the first special symbol, the reserved data in the reserved area 1 is stored in the storage area of the changing data of the first special symbol, and in the case of the second special symbol, the changing data of the second special symbol is stored. Each is shifted and stored in the storage area.

  The determination result storage area 223k1 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the result of determining in advance whether or not the special hit random number counter C1 is stored is extracted from the received winning command and stored. The information on the determination result of the success / failure extracted from the winning command is the determination result storage area of any one of the reservation areas 1 to 8 corresponding to the number of reservations (the corresponding reservation area of the rearrangement reservation storage area 203u of the main control device 110). It is stored in 223k1.

  The jackpot type storage area 223k2 is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch processing (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch processing (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the jackpot type determined by the stored special hit type counter C2 is extracted from the received winning command and stored.

  The variation pattern type storage area 223k3 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the type of variation pattern determined based on the various data stored in is extracted from the received winning command and stored. This variation pattern is data that can identify which variation pattern is the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the data in the reserved area is the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is also used as data for identifying whether the data is.

  The change order storage area 223k4 is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch processing (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch processing (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the actual variable display start order in the reserved areas 1 to 8 determined based on the various stored data is extracted from the received winning command and stored.

  The variation start time storage area 223k5 is the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). This is a storage area in which the calculated time until each data in the reserved areas 1 to 8 actually starts the variable display is extracted from the received winning command and stored based on the various data stored in . When this variable display start time is stored in the hold area, it is updated as needed in the hold number display process (FIG. 35, S1406) of the main process (FIG. 35, S1400) executed by the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113. The

  In the present embodiment, the winning command is a command indicating the time until each calculated data in the reserved areas 1 to 8 actually starts the variable display. Each counter value for calculating the time (for example, the type of the selected fluctuation pattern, the counter value for calculating the remaining fluctuation time of the special symbol being fluctuated (number of interrupts, etc.)) and fluctuation display start It may be a command corresponding to the time until.

  The follow-reading probability change flag storage area 223k6 is a storage area that is set to ON and stored when the type of the stored jackpot type storage area 223k2 is 15R probability change big hit or 2R probability change big hit.

  The rearrangement flag 223k7 indicates that the player has operated the frame button 22 to request the rearrangement of the hold symbol display (the hold symbol display displayed when the frame button 22 is operated). Flag.

  As described above, when a game ball wins at the first start port 63a or the second start port 63a and a holding ball is generated, the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b are based on the data extracted from the win command. And various determination data of each holding ball are stored according to the formation order of the holding balls. Therefore, the audio lamp control device 113 performs the hold symbol display in the order in which the hold is made by combining the first special symbol and the second special symbol, based on the data of the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k. A command to be output to 114 can be generated. Therefore, it is possible to display on the third symbol display device 81 the hold symbol display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the order in which the hold is made by combining the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  Further, based on the winning command, the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k is updated with data synchronized with the rearrangement hold storage area 203u of the main control device 110, and there is a change in the hold data (such as establishment of a new hold). In addition, the data can be sequentially updated in synchronization.

  The other memory area 223m is an area for temporarily storing other counter values and the like used by the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113.

  The power supply device 115 includes a power supply unit 251 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 252 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch (FIGS. 3 and 122) (see FIG. 3). And a RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) circuit 253 provided. The power supply unit 251 is a device that supplies a necessary operating voltage to each of the control devices 110 to 114 through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 251 takes in the voltage of AC 24 volts supplied from the outside, and drives various switches such as various switches 208, solenoids such as the solenoid 209, motors, etc. A 5 volt voltage for logic, a backup voltage for RAM backup, and the like are generated, and the 12 volt voltage, the 5 volt voltage, and the backup voltage are supplied to the control devices 110 to 114 as necessary voltages.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 252 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 and the MPU 211 of the payout control device 111 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 252 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 251, and determines that a power failure (power interruption, power interruption) occurs when this voltage falls below 22 volts. Then, the power failure signal SG1 is output to the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111. Based on the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the NMI interrupt process. Note that the power supply unit 251 outputs a voltage of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the NMI interrupt processing even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Is maintained at a normal value. Therefore, main controller 110 and payout controller 111 can normally execute and complete the NMI interrupt process (see FIG. 22).

  When a power failure occurs, the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 stores each data in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u as backup data in the backup area of the RAM 203. Then, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10 again, each backed up data in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u is read from the backup area, and each corresponding hold area in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u is changing. Stored in the data storage area.

  Then, in the start-up process (FIG. 32), similar to the winning command generated in the first prefetch update process (FIG. 26, S939), based on the rearrangement pending storage area 203u in which the backed up data is read and stored. As a result, all winning commands are generated and output to the audio lamp control device 113, so that data synchronized with the same rearrangement hold storage area 203u is also set in the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k.

  In the start-up process (FIG. 32), a winning command is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 113, so that the data in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u and the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k can be restored even after a power failure. Although the structure to synchronize was demonstrated, it is not restricted to it, Like MPU201 of the main control apparatus 110, MPU221 of the audio lamp control apparatus 113 backs up each data of the secondary rearrangement reservation storage area 223k to RAM223 at the time of a power failure occurrence As a matter of course, the configuration may be stored as:

  The RAM erase switch (FIGS. 3 and 122) circuit 253 is pressed when the power is turned on (while turning on the power while pressing the RAM erase switch (FIGS. 3 and 122)). In this case, the RAM erase signal SG2 is output to the main controller 110 to clear the backup data. When the RAM erase signal SG2 is input when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, the main control device 110 clears the backup data, and the payout control device 111 issues a payout initialization command for clearing the backup data. Transmit to device 111.

  The MPU 201 of the main control device 110 executes control processes such as detection of special symbols and normal symbols, and various lotteries such as selection of winning patterns and variation patterns. Therefore, the control load of the MPU 201 is large, and in order to stably execute the control of the pachinko machine 10, a lottery for determining whether or not to set the game operation suggestion setting is controlled as in the present embodiment. By performing the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 corresponding to the device, the control load of the main control device 110 can be reduced.

  The control boards of the main controller 110 and the sound lamp controller 113 are covered with a box (box) made of a transparent plastic base member and a lid member, which is called a board box. The substrate box is caulked by an anti-fraud member called “sealing member” so that the base member and the lid member cannot be easily separated. Generally, when a base member and a lid member are fitted together, the sealing member inserts a pin-shaped sealing member into a through-hole provided through a part of the base member and the lid member. It is difficult to separate the base member and the lid member only by a method in which an opening mark remains such as destroying the member forming the through hole or destroying the sealing member. .

  Next, the electrical configuration of the display control device 114 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the display control device 114. The display control device 114 includes an MPU 231, a work RAM 233, a ROM 234, an image controller 237, an input port 238, an output port 239, and bus lines 240 and 241.

  The input side of the input port 238 is connected to the output side of the sound lamp control device 113, and the output side of the input port 238 is connected to the MPU 231, work RAM 233, ROM 234, and image controller 237 via the bus line 240. An output port 239 is connected to the image controller 237 via a bus line 241. A third symbol display device 81 is connected to the output side of the output port 239.

  Even if the pachinko machine 10 is a different model with different winning probability for winning the jackpot and the number of prize balls to be paid out in one jackpot, there is a model having the same specifications as the symbols displayed on the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, the display control device 114 is made into a common part to reduce the cost.

  Hereinafter, the MPU 231, the ROM 234, and the image controller 237 will be described first, and then the work RAM 233 will be described. First, the MPU 231 controls the display content of the third symbol display device 81 based on the display variation pattern command output from the sound lamp control device 113 based on the variation pattern command of the main control device 110. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the system reset of the MPU 231 is canceled, first, various processes are executed according to the control program stored in the ROM 234.

  As described above, the ROM 234 is a memory that stores a control program executed in the MPU 231 and image data displayed on the third symbol display device 81, and is connected to the MPU 231 via the bus line 240. The MPU 231 directly accesses the ROM 234 after canceling the system reset via the bus line 240 and executes the control program stored in the ROM 234. The ROM 234 is connected to the image controller 237 via the bus line 240, and the image controller 237 transfers the image data stored in the ROM 234 to the work RAM 233. The MPU 231 outputs the image data transferred to the work RAM 233 to the third symbol display device 81 as needed, and performs display control of the third symbol display device 81.

  When a game ball enters the distribution device 630, is distributed by the passive distribution member 640, and the game ball is won at the first start port 63a, each counter value (C1 to C3 and CS1) is acquired and acquired. After the lottery and the variation pattern are determined based on each counter value, the variation display of the first special symbol corresponding to the first lottery game is performed on the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81. Fluctuation display (dynamic display). In addition, when a game ball enters the distribution device 630 during the first special symbol variation display, the game ball is distributed by the passive distribution device 640 and wins the second start port 63b. When a game ball wins the second starting port 63b, each counter value (C1 to C3) is displayed for displaying the variation of the second special symbol corresponding to the second lottery game machine, as in the case of winning the first starting port 63a. And CS1) are acquired, and the variable display of the second special symbol is executed by the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81.

  In the pachinko machine 10, the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 are configured such that the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be simultaneously displayed in a variable manner. Specifically, in the first symbol display device 37, the left 7-segment LED of the two 7-segment LEDs of the 7-segment indicator 37b executes the variable display corresponding to the first special symbol, and the right 7-segment LED is displayed. In the segment LED, a variable display corresponding to the second special symbol is executed.

  Further, in the third symbol display device 81, as shown in FIG. 5A, the left display area Dm1 is subjected to the variable display corresponding to the first special symbol, and the right display area Dm2 is subjected to the second special display. Variation display corresponding to the symbol is executed. By configuring in this way, it is possible to execute a variable display between the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and the player can efficiently execute the first lottery game and the second lottery game. .

  When a game ball wins a prize at the first start port 63a while the first special symbol is being displayed in a fluctuation display (remaining fluctuation time is set), each counter value (C1 to C3 and CS1) acquired based on the winning is obtained. Since the first lottery game in which the lottery result is displayed in a variable manner cannot be executed immediately, each counter value is stored (stored) in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a. When each counter value is stored in the first special symbol holding ball storage area 203a, a mode (for example, one number) indicating the number of reserved “1” of the first special symbol of the plurality of light emitting diodes 37a of the first symbol display device 37 is stored. The light-emitting diode is lit red. When each counter value is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a, the value of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is updated (the number of reserved balls is incremented by 1).

  When each counter value is stored in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a, the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 outputs a winning command to the sound lamp control device 113. In the winning command, it is possible to identify which one of the first starting port 63a and the second starting port 63b is won, and it is possible to identify the number of reserved balls (the number of reserved balls).

  When the voice lamp control device 113 receives the winning command command, the voice lamp control device 113 extracts the holding information such as the number of holdings and information about the winning starting port from the received command, and based on the holding information, the third symbol display device In 81, a process of displaying the reserved symbols in the corresponding reserved symbol display areas (Ds1 to Ds8) in the lower display area Ds is executed. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), if the reserved symbol is a reserved symbol corresponding to the reserved information of the first special symbol (first starting port 63a), “○” is indicated as the second special symbol (second starting symbol). If it is a holding symbol corresponding to the holding information in the mouth 63b), “●” is displayed for each holding information (one holding symbol per holding).

  Similarly, each counter value is acquired when a game ball wins the second start opening 63b while the second special symbol is being displayed in a variation display (remaining variation time is set), and the second special symbol reserved ball storage area It is stored (stored) in 203b, and the value of the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203f is updated. A hold symbol indicating that the hold information is stored is displayed on the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81.

  The reserved symbols displayed on the third symbol display device 81 are respectively displayed in a total winning order including the game balls won in the first starting port 63a and the second starting port 63b. The example shown in FIG. 12 will be specifically described. First, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are in a variable display, the first special symbol has a remaining variation time of 10s, and the second special symbol has a remaining variation time of 5s. Show. In the lower display area Ds of the third symbol display device 81, the reserved symbol “1” indicating that the reserved symbol display area Ds1 is the second special symbol hold information (holding information based on winning in the second start port 63b). “” Indicates that the reserved symbol “◯” indicating that the reserved symbol display area Ds2 is the reserved information of the first special symbol, and “holding symbol“ ○ ”indicates that the reserved symbol display area Ds3 is the reserved information of the second special symbol. "" Is displayed in the reserved symbol display area Ds4, respectively. The reserved symbol "O" indicating that it is the reserved information of the first special symbol. In this case, the first winning opening 63a and the second starting opening 63b are awarded in the order of the reserved symbol display area Ds4 from the reserved symbol display area Ds4 in the order from early.

  In other words, after a game ball wins the second start port 63b, it wins the first start port 63a, then the second start port 63b, and then the first start port 63a wins the game ball. It shows that.

  As shown in FIG. 12, each hold data is stored in advance by predicting the change time of the change pattern to be selected when the hold starts to change (the type of change pattern to be determined is stored). Have been). Since the second special symbol is stored in the first prize winning order (the reserved area 1 corresponds to the reserved storage area 203u), the remainder of the second special symbol currently being displayed in a variable manner is stored. When the variation time (5 s) elapses, the variation display start time is calculated as 5 seconds after the variation display starts. In addition, since the first special symbol is stored in the second winning order (the reserved area 2u in the rearrangement storage area 203u is stored), the remaining first special symbol currently being displayed in a variable manner. When the variation time (10 s) elapses, the variation display start time is calculated as 10 seconds after the variation display starts. Next, since the second special symbol is stored in the third prize winning order (the reserved area 3 corresponds to the reserved storage area 203u), the second special symbol currently being displayed in a variable manner is stored. When the variation time (40 s) of the pending data stored first in the winning order has elapsed in the remaining variation time (5 s), the variation display start time is calculated to be 45 seconds later. Next, since it is the first special symbol hold that is stored in the fourth winning order (the hold area 4 corresponds in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u), the first special symbol currently being displayed in a variable manner is stored. When the fluctuation time (10 s) of the pending data stored in the second winning order has elapsed in the remaining fluctuation time (10 s), the fluctuation display starts, and therefore the fluctuation display start time is calculated as 20 seconds later.

  Thus, in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u, the variable display start times of the first special symbol and the second special symbol are calculated in the order in which they are established, and based on the variable display start time, The variable display order is assigned.

  When the player operates the frame button 22 at this timing, the reserved symbol display of the third symbol display device 81 holds the first special symbol in the fourth winning order as shown in the rearranged display mode shown in FIG. The symbol display is rearranged with the reserved symbol display of the second special symbol in the third winning order (the fourth reserved symbol display in the winning order interrupts before the third reserved symbol display in the winning order).

  FIG. 13 shows that the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 performs first prefetch processing (FIG. 25, S907) or second prefetch processing (FIG. 25) when a game ball wins the first start port 63a 1s after the state of FIG. 27, S914) is a diagram schematically showing a process of determining the variable display start order of the stored symbols newly stored in S914).

  FIG. 13 shows a state after 1 s from FIG. 12, and therefore, the first special symbol during the fluctuation display has a remaining fluctuation time of 9 s, and the second special symbol has a remaining fluctuation time of 4 s. In addition, the change start time of each reserved area in the rearrangement reserved storage area 203u is also updated.

  The newly established hold of the first start port 63a (first special symbol) becomes the fifth winning order, and each data is stored in the hold area 5 in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u. First, add the remaining variation time of the first special symbol being displayed in the same manner as the newly stored first special symbol, and the variation time of the first special symbol of the winning order 2 and 4, respectively. The time when the hold of the first special symbol that has been established (stored) starts the variable display is calculated (in this case, 24 s).

  Next, as shown in the rearrangement schematic diagram of FIG. 13, the rearranged order (variable display start order) is reset in the order of starting the variable display based on the variable display start time of each reserved area. At this time, when the player operates the frame button 22 to request the rearrangement of the reserved symbol display, as shown in the display mode after the rearrangement in FIG. Are rearranged with the third reserved symbol display in the winning order (the fourth and fifth reserved symbols in the winning order are interrupted before the third reserved symbol display in the winning order).

  Thus, each time a hold occurs, the change display start time is calculated and the rearrangement order is determined, so that the player can perform an operation for requesting rearrangement (operation of the frame button 22). In this case, it is possible to promptly display the reserved symbol display after the rearrangement.

  Also, the fluctuation pattern of 15R probability variation jackpot and 15R normal jackpot tends to be longer than the fluctuation pattern selected when the fluctuation time is out of place. As shown in FIG. 13, the first hold in the winning order has a long variation time of 40 seconds. Therefore, the hold of the same second special symbol that was established after that will be delayed in the variable display start time than the hold of the first special symbol that was established later. Behind the reserved symbol display, a different type (difference between the first special symbol and the second special symbol) different from the reserved for which the long variation time is selected is displayed together. Therefore, the more the number of the reserved symbol display that is interrupted and displayed in the subsequent reserved symbol display area of the reserved symbol display, the more the player has a big expectation for the previous reserved symbol display, the player Sorting can be done with the expectation of jackpot. Therefore, interest in the game increases, and the game can be continued without getting tired.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 to 40. The MPU 201 is roughly classified into a startup process (FIG. 32) activated upon power-on, a main process (FIG. 33, S1200) executed after the startup process, and periodically (this embodiment). In FIG. 14, there is a timer interrupt process (FIG. 14) activated at a cycle of 2 milliseconds and an NMI interrupt process (FIG. 31) activated by input of the power failure signal SG1 to the NMI terminal. Timer interrupt processing and NMI interrupt processing will be described, and then startup processing (FIG. 32) and main processing (FIG. 33, S1200) will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. The timer interrupt process is a periodic process that is repeatedly executed, for example, every 2 milliseconds. When the MPU 201 executes this timer interrupt process, various processes to be executed periodically are performed.

  In this timer interrupt process, first, an external output process is executed (S101). In the timer interrupt process (FIG. 14) and the main process (FIG. 33, S1200), commands to be transmitted to the payout control device 111, the voice lamp control device 113, etc. are generated based on various processes and provided in the RAM 203. Temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer. In the external output process of S101, output data such as commands stored in the command transmission ring buffer is transmitted to each sub-side control device (peripheral control device).

  For example, the reserved ball number command set in the start winning process (FIG. 24, S108) is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 113. Further, the variation pattern command, the stop type command, the confirmation command, etc. set in the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107) are transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113.

  Next, the prize ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 111 are read (S102), and then the specific winning opening (large opening) 65a of the variable winning device 65 is opened or closed in the case of the big hit state. A large opening opening / closing process is performed for this purpose (S103). In other words, the specific winning opening 65a is opened for each round of the big hit state, and it is determined whether the maximum opening time of the specific winning opening 65a has passed or whether a specified number of balls have won the specific winning opening 65a. When any of these conditions is met, the specific winning opening 65a is closed. The opening and closing of the specific winning opening 65a is repeated for a predetermined number of rounds.

  Next, various winning switch reading processes are executed (S104). That is, the state of various switches connected to the main controller 110 is read, and the state of the switch is determined and the detection information (winning detection information) is stored. Further, based on the winning detection information, a winning ball command corresponding to the number of acquired balls to be transmitted to the payout control device 111 is set in a command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 203. Thereby, the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control device 111 by the process of S101 of the timer interrupt process to be executed next.

  Next, the initial value random number counter CINI1 and the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S105). Specifically, the initial value random number counter CINI1 is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (399 in this embodiment). Then, the updated value of the initial value random number counter CINI 1 is stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203. Similarly, the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 is incremented by 1, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value (239 in this embodiment), it is cleared to 0, and the updated value of the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 is stored in the RAM 203. Is stored in the corresponding counter buffer area.

  Further, the special hit random number counter C1, the special hit type counter C2, the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3, the fluctuation type counter CS1, and the normal hit random number counter C4 are updated (S106). Specifically, the special hit random number counter C1, the special hit type counter C2, the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3, the stop type counter CS1 and the normal hit random number counter C4 are each incremented by 1 and their counter values are set to the maximum value (the real number). In the embodiment, when reaching 399, 99, 100, 198, 239), each is cleared to 0. When the special hit random number counter C1 or the normal hit random number counter C4 makes one round, the value of the initial value random number counter CINI1 or the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is used as the special hit random number counter C1 or the normal hit random number counter. The initial value of C4 is read, and the initial value is set in the special hit random number counter C1 or the normal hit random number counter C4. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding counter buffer area of the RAM 203.

  Next, a special symbol variation process for setting the first special symbol and the second special symbol on the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 to set the third symbol variation pattern is executed. (S107), and then, a start winning process associated with winning a prize at the first starting port 63a or the second starting port 63b is executed (S108). Details of the special symbol variation process (S107) will be described later with reference to FIG. 15, and details of the start winning process (S108) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the start winning process (S108) is executed, a normal symbol variation process, which is a normal symbol variation process for the game ball passing through the normal symbol start port 67, is performed (S109). A through gate process is executed in response to the game ball passing through (S10). Details of the normal symbol variation process (S109) will be described later with reference to FIG. 29, and details of the through gate process (S110) will be described later with reference to FIG. A launch control process for executing control relating to the launch of the game ball is executed (S111), and other processes to be periodically executed are executed (S112), and the timer interrupt process is terminated. In the firing control process (S111), the touch sensor 51a detects that the player is touching the operation handle 51, and the ball stop switch 51b for stopping the firing is not operated. This is a process for determining on / off of firing. When the ball launch is on, information on the ball launch signal is set in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the work RAM 203 in order to transmit the ball launch signal to the launch control device 112. Thereby, the ball launch signal is transmitted to the launch control device 112 via the payout control device 111 by the processing of S101 of the timer interrupt processing to be executed next.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the special symbol fluctuation process (S107) which is one process of the timer interruption process performed by MPU201 in the main controller 110 is demonstrated. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the special symbol variation process (S107). In the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107), the first special symbol and the second special symbol are subjected to various determinations and determinations based on the acquired counter values, and the variation display determined by predetermined control is performed. In this manner, control is performed so that the first symbol display device 37 and the third symbol display device 81 can simultaneously perform variable display or stop display in a display manner indicating the determination result. Hereinafter, the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107) will be described.

  In the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107), it is first determined whether or not a big hit game is being played (S201). If it is determined that the jackpot is being hit (S201: Yes), this process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not a big hit (S201: No), it is determined whether the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (S202). If it is determined that the variation display of the first special symbol is being performed (S202: Yes), the first special symbol variation stop process is executed (S204). The first special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 17, S204) will be described in detail later, but the symbol indicating the determination result of the first lottery game when the specified variation time of the first special symbol during variation display has elapsed. The process of stopping the variable display in the process, and the process of temporarily stopping the first special symbol in the variable display when the second special symbol is variably stopped at the symbol showing the big win and the jackpot game of the second lottery game is executed Is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special symbol is not in a variable display (S202: No), a first special symbol variation start process is executed (S203). The first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S203) will be described in detail later, but when the first special symbol is temporarily stopped, the processing for restarting the variable display is executed, while the temporary stop is performed. If not, if the hold data (various counter values) is stored in the first special symbol hold ball number storage area 203a, the jackpot determination and the variation pattern selection process based on the hold data are executed. .

  After the first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S107) is executed, it is determined whether or not the second special symbol is in a variable display (S205). If it is determined that the second special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner, a second special symbol variation stopping process (FIG. 23, S207) is executed. The second special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 23, S207) will be described in detail later. Similar to the first special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 19, S204), the prescribed variation of the second special symbol during the variable display is displayed. When time has elapsed, the process of stopping the variable display with the symbol indicating the determination result of the second lottery game, and the variable display of the first special symbol with the symbol indicating the jackpot are stopped, and the jackpot game of the first lottery game is executed In this case, a process of temporarily stopping the second special symbol during the variable display is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the second special symbol is not in a variable display, a second special symbol variation start process is executed (S206). This second special symbol variation start process (FIG. 20, S206) will be described in detail later. Similar to the first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S203), when the second special symbol is temporarily stopped. The process for resuming the variable display is executed. On the other hand, if it is not temporarily stopped, if the reserved data (various counter values) is stored in the second special symbol reserved ball number storage area 203b, A jackpot determination or variation pattern selection process based on the pending data is executed. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  Next, the first special symbol variation start process (S203), which is a process of the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol variation start process (S203).

  In the first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S203), it is first determined whether or not the first special symbol is temporarily stopped (S301). Whether or not the first special symbol is temporarily stopped is determined based on whether or not the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped in spite of the fact that the variable time (variation pattern) is set. . If it is determined that the first special symbol is temporarily stopped (S301: Yes), measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is resumed (S302). As for the variation time of the first special symbol, when a variation pattern or the like is selected in the first special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 18, S310), which will be described later, when the first special symbol is variably displayed. In addition, measurement start of the variation time is set. When the variation pattern is selected, a variation pattern command is output to the sound lamp control device 113, and the variation display of the first special symbol is started. In addition, the main control device 110 starts the variable display of the first special symbol on the first display device 37 accordingly. The variable display of the first special symbol (the 7-segment LED on the left side of the 7-segment display 37b) on the first symbol display device 37 is resumed (S303). A first special symbol variation restart command for instructing the voice lamp control device 113 to resume the variation display of the first special symbol during the temporary stop is set (S304). Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special symbol is not temporarily stopped (S301: No), the value (N1) of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is acquired (S305). It is determined whether the value (N1) of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is greater than 0 (S306). If it is determined that the value (N1) of the special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is greater than 0 (S306: Yes), the value (N1) of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is decremented by 1 (S308). . A process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the holding area 1 to the holding area 4 of the first special symbol reserved ball number storage area 203a to the execution area side is performed (S308). More specifically, the data in each area is shifted such as hold area 1 → execution area, hold area 2 → hold area 1, hold area 3 → hold area 2, hold area 4 → hold area 3.

  Next, a first special symbol jackpot determination process is executed (S309). The first special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 17, S309) will be described in detail later, but the game set based on the value of the special bonus random number counter C1 shifted to the first special symbol holding ball execution area 203c. Based on the status, a jackpot determination is made as to whether or not the jackpot is successful. When it is determined that the determination result is a big hit, the second fluctuation stop flag 203r is set to ON. As a result, it is possible to recognize that the jackpot game is started after the first special symbol is started to be displayed in a variable manner and stopped, and the second special symbol in the variable display is temporarily stopped during the jackpot game of the first special symbol. Can be made.

  Next, a first special symbol variation pattern selection process is executed (S310). The first special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 18, S310) will be described in detail later, but based on the result of the success / failure determination based on the value of the special hit random number counter C1 stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c. This is a process for selecting a variation pattern based on each counter value.

  Next, the first special symbol jackpot determination process (S309), which is one process of the first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S203), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol jackpot determination process (S309).

  In the first special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 17, S309), first, each counter value stored in the first special symbol reservation ball execution area 203c is acquired (S401). It is determined whether or not the gaming state is a high-probability gaming state (probability changing) (S402). Whether or not the gaming state is a high probability gaming state is determined based on whether or not the probability variation flag 203m is set to ON. When it is determined that the probability change flag 203m is on (ie, the gaming state is a high probability gaming state (probability changing)) (S402: Yes), based on the special symbol jackpot random number table 202a for high probability, It is determined whether or not the value of the special hit random number counter C1 matches the jackpot random number value, and the lottery result is acquired (S403). On the other hand, if it is determined that the probability change flag 203m is off (that is, the gaming state is a low probability gaming state (not being probable)) (S402: No), the special symbol jackpot random number table 202a for the low probability is displayed. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the value of the special hit random number counter C1 matches the jackpot random number value, and the lottery result is acquired (S404).

  It is determined whether or not the lottery result is a big hit (S405). When it is determined that the lottery result is a big hit (S405: Yes), the second fluctuation stop flag 203r is set to ON (S407). As a result, in the jackpot determination of the first special symbol, if the determination result is a jackpot and the variable display of the first special symbol that notifies the determination result is stopped and displayed, if the second special symbol is changing, The variable display will be stopped.

  In this way, by setting the second variation stop flag 203r to ON before starting the variation display of the first special symbol, whether to temporarily stop the second special symbol at the time of the variation table of the first special symbol Compared with the case of determining whether or not, it is possible to prevent a problem that the control processing is concentrated when the fluctuation is stopped.

  Based on the value of the acquired special hit type counter C2, the big win symbol is set in the first symbol display device 37, and the first big hit flag 203o is set on (S408). As a result, in the first symbol display device 37, the symbol based on the value of the special hit type counter C2 (for example, “7” if 15R probability variation big hit) is set in the left seven-segment LED of the seven-segment display 37b. .

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the lottery result is OFF (S405: No), the symbol is removed from the first symbol display device 37 and set (S409). In this embodiment, in the case of detachment, “-” indicating detachment is set to the left 7-segment LED of the 7-segment display 37b of the first symbol display device 37. Here, each symbol set in the first symbol display device 37 is a process for setting a symbol to be stopped and displayed when the variable display is stopped.

  Next, the first special symbol variation pattern selection process (S310), which is one process of the first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S203), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol variation pattern selection process (S310).

  In the first special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 18, S310), first, it is determined whether or not the result determined in the first special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 17, S309) is a jackpot (S310). ). Whether or not the jackpot is determined is determined by whether or not the first jackpot flag 203o is set to ON. If it is determined that the first jackpot flag 203o is set to ON (S501: Yes), the special hit variation pattern table 202d corresponding to the gaming state is set (S502). When the gaming state is a normal gaming state (a low probability gaming state and not a short time), the normal special hit fluctuation pattern table 202d (FIG. 10A) is set. When the gaming state is a high-probability gaming state or during a short time (the short time counter 203k is greater than 0), the special hit fluctuation pattern table 202d for time reduction / probability change (FIG. 11A) is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the first jackpot flag 203o is off (S501: No), a special out-of-change pattern table corresponding to the gaming state is set. When the gaming state is a normal gaming state (a low probability gaming state and not a short time), a normal special deviation variation pattern table 202e (FIG. 10B) is set. When the gaming state is a high-probability gaming state or time-shortening (the time-shorting counter 203k is greater than 0), the time-shortening / probability change special out-of-change pattern table 202d (FIG. 11B) is set.

  A jackpot type table is determined based on the jackpot type based on the value of the special hit type counter C2 (S504). The jackpot type table includes a 15R jackpot table and a 2R jackpot table. In the case of 15R probability variable jackpot and 15R normal jackpot, the 15R jackpot table is determined, and in the case of 2R probability jackpot, the 2R jackpot table is determined. . Based on the value of the variation type counter CS1 stored in the special symbol hold execution area 203c, the variation pattern type is selected (determined) from the selected variation pattern table (S505).

  Based on the value of the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3, the fluctuation pattern is selected as the fluctuation pattern of the first special symbol (S506). Here, a variation pattern command for notifying the sound lamp control device 113 of the selected variation pattern is also set. The first stop type command is set based on the determined stop type (S507). The measurement start of the first variation time that is the variation time of the first special symbol is set.

  By starting the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol together with the setting of the variation pattern command, the variation time can be measured at the same time as the variation start of the first special symbol, and the variation time is accurately measured. can do.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the 1st special symbol fluctuation | variation stop process (S204) which is one process of a special symbol fluctuation | variation process (FIG. 15, S107) is demonstrated. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the first special symbol variation stopping process (S204).

  In the first special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 19, S204), first, it is determined whether or not the first variation stop flag 203q is set to ON (S601). If it is determined that the first variation stop flag 203q is set to ON (S601: Yes), it is determined whether the variation time of the second special symbol is the end time (S602). When it is determined that the variation time of the second special symbol is the end time (S602: Yes), a temporary first variation stop command for instructing the audio lamp control device 113 to temporarily stop the first special symbol is set. The first special symbol of the first symbol display device 37 is temporarily stopped, and the first fluctuation stop flag 203q is set to OFF (S603). Then, the measurement of the first variation time is interrupted (S604).

  By comprising in this way, a 1st special symbol can also be temporarily stopped in combination with the timing by which a 2nd special symbol becomes a win and the fluctuation | variation stop is carried out with the determination symbol. Therefore, the player can concentrate on the jackpot game in the second lottery game and play the game.

  In addition, since the measurement of the first variation time is interrupted at the timing of the temporary stop, the remaining variation time can be accurately measured after the big hit game.

  In the pachinko machine 10, when the first special symbol is temporarily stopped, the third symbol display device 81 stops the first special symbol in a display mode that allows the player to know that the first special symbol is temporarily stopped. Is displayed. Specifically, the player displays a character such as “The first special symbol is temporarily stopped” or continuously displays the three main symbols on the left, middle, and right constituting the special symbol in a swinging display manner. To inform that it is temporarily stopped. Further, the display mode for notifying the temporary stop is not limited to this, and other notification modes may be used.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation time of the second special symbol is not the end time (that is, the variation is being displayed) (S602: No), the processing of S605 is executed. If it is determined that the first variation stop flag 203q is off (S601: No), it is determined whether the variation time of the first special symbol during variation display is the end time (S605).

  If it is determined that the variation time of the first special symbol is not the end time (S605: No), this process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation time of the first special symbol is the end time (S605: Yes), it is determined whether the first jackpot flag 203o is set (S606). If it is determined that the first jackpot flag 203o is set (S606: Yes), the probability variation flag 203m is set to off (S607). Various settings of the jackpot game based on the determined variable stop type are made (S608). Specifically, in the case of 15R probability variation jackpot and 15R normal jackpot, the number of rounds in which the jackpot game is executed is set to 15 times, and the maximum opening time of the specific winning opening 65a in one round is set to 30s. The In the case of 2R probability variable jackpot, the number of rounds in which the jackpot game is executed is set to 2 times, and the maximum opening time of the specific winning opening 65a in one round is set to 2s.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first big hit flag 203o is off (S606: No), it is determined whether the hour / hour counter 203k is greater than “0” (S609). If it is determined that the hour / hour counter 203k is greater than “0” (S609: Yes), the value of the hour / hour counter 203 is decremented by one (S610). That is, every time the first special symbol is variably displayed once, the hour / hour counter 203k is decremented by one. On the other hand, when it is determined that the hour / counter counter 203k has a value smaller than 0 (that is, 0) (S609: No), the processing of S611 is executed.

  A first confirmation command for instructing the sound lamp control device 113 to confirm and stop the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is set (S611). The first special symbol of the first symbol display device 37 is stopped and displayed with the symbol indicating the determined result of the determination (S612). The value of the first variation time storage area 203s is cleared to 0, and the first variation time measurement value is cleared to 0 (S613). Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  Next, the second special symbol variation start process (S206), which is a process of the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the second special symbol variation start process (S206).

  In the second special symbol variation start process (FIG. 20, S206), the first special symbol for each of the processes from S301 to S310 with respect to the first special symbol variation start process (FIG. 16, S203) described above. , First variation time measurement restart, first symbol display device 37, first special symbol variation restart command, first special symbol reserve ball number counter value (N1), first special symbol reserve ball storage area, first special symbol In each process from S701 to S710, the jackpot determination process and the first special symbol variation pattern selection process are the second special symbol, the second variation time measurement restart, the second symbol display device 37, the second special symbol retention ball counter Since the value (N2), the second special symbol reserved ball storage area, the second special symbol jackpot determination process, and the second special symbol variation pattern selection process are the same except for the respective changes, the explanation is as follows. Substantially.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 21, the second special symbol jackpot determination process (S709), which is one process of the second special symbol variation start process (FIG. 20, S206), will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the second special symbol jackpot determination process (S709).

  In the second special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 21, S709), the first special symbol reservation ball execution area is different from the above-described first special symbol jackpot determination process (FIG. 17, S309) as compared to the process of S401. In the process of S711, the second variation stop flag and the first big hit flag are the first variation in the second special symbol reservation ball execution area in each process from S407 to S408 in the processes from S717 to S718. Since it is the same except that it is changed to a stop flag and a second jackpot flag, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the second special symbol variation pattern selection process (S710), which is one process of the second special symbol variation start process (FIG. 20, S206), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the second special symbol variation pattern selection process (S710).

  In the second special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 22, S710), the first special symbol variation pattern selection process (FIG. 18, S310) is the first for each process from S507 to S508. The processing of the stop type command and the first change time measurement start is the same except that the processes are changed to the first stop type command and the first change time measurement start in S727 to S728. Omitted.

  Next, the second special symbol variation stop process (S207), which is a process of the special symbol variation process (FIG. 15, S107), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the second special symbol variation stopping process (S207).

  In the second special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 23, S207), the first variation stop is performed for each of the processes from S601 to S604 in contrast to the first special symbol variation stop process (FIG. 19, S204) described above. In each processing from S801 to S804, the first variation symbol, the first special symbol, the temporary first variation stop command, and the first variation time measurement interruption, the second variation symbol, the second special symbol, the temporary second variation stop command, the second For each process from S611 to S613, the second confirmation command is used for each process from S611 to S613. In the processes from S811 to S813, the first confirmation command, the first special symbol, and the first variation time measurement value are S811 to S813. Since it is the same except that it is changed to the second special symbol and the second variation time measurement value, the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, since the control of the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be executed independently and in parallel, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are simultaneously displayed in a variable manner. Can be made. Therefore, a lottery game with more special symbols can be executed within a predetermined time, and the probability that a big hit will be given to the player within the predetermined time can be increased. Therefore, the player can play a game efficiently.

  In addition, compared with the pachinko machine 10 in which the lottery game of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is executed one by one, the pachinko machine 10 has a variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Even if it is relatively short, either one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is in a state where the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is easy to be executed, thereby increasing the efficiency of the game. The problem that the state in which the special symbol is not variably displayed becomes long can be suppressed.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 in which the lottery game of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is executed one by one, when the distribution device 630 is provided as in this embodiment, the fluctuation time is relatively If it is not shortened, there will be many overflows that do not become reserved balls. However, in the configuration in which the lottery game is performed with both the first special symbol and the second special symbol as in the present embodiment, even if a variation with a long variation time is selected, the variation of the special symbol on the other side as well. Therefore, lots of special symbols can be drawn in a short time. Therefore, it is possible to show the player a sufficient variation time effect as needed, and to prevent the player from getting bored with the game.

  In addition, even if the lottery game is executed with the first special symbol and the second special symbol variably displayed at the same time, if a big hit game occurs in one of the first or second special symbols, Since the change display of the special symbol is temporarily stopped, the player can concentrate on the jackpot game and play the game.

  In addition, since the special symbol that has been temporarily stopped is stopped in a display mode or a notification mode that allows the player to know that the temporary stop is in progress, the player can confirm that the lottery game that was in the middle of the variable display has not disappeared It is possible to grasp and can play jackpot games with peace of mind.

  In addition, since the pachinko machine 10 is provided with a sorting device 630, the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b are configured so that the first start port 63a and the second start port 63b can be awarded alternately. Winning is biased to one of the mouths 63b, and by trying to win the other starting port with less holding, the game balls are also won in the one starting port 63a, 63b above the upper limit of the number of holdings. The problem that many invalid balls are generated can be suppressed.

  Next, the start winning process (S108), which is a process of the timer interrupt process (FIG. 14) executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110, will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the start winning process (S108). The start winning process (FIG. 24, S108) determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start port 63a or the second start port 63b. This is a process of storing each acquired counter value in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b, up to a maximum of four for each of the two start openings 63b. When each counter value acquired based on the reserved ball is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reserved ball storage area 203b, the first special symbol reserved ball storage area 203a. Or based on each counter value memorize | stored in each of the 2nd special symbol reservation ball | bowl storage area 203b, the process which predicts a determination result or the variation pattern etc. selected beforehand is performed. Hereinafter, the start winning process (FIG. 24, S108) will be described.

  In the start winning process (FIG. 24, S108), first, it is determined whether or not the ball has won (start winning) in the first starting port 63a (S901). Here, a winning at the first start port 63a is detected. If it is determined that the ball has won the first start opening 63a (the start win has been received) (S901: Yes), the value (N1) of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e is acquired (S902). It is determined whether the acquired value (N1) is less than 4 (S903). This is discriminated whether it is less than 4 which is the upper limit value of the reserved number for the first start port 63a (that is, whether the reserved number is stored up to the upper limit value). When it is determined whether the acquired value (N1) is less than 4 (S903: Yes), 1 is added to the value (N1) of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e (S904). A reserved ball number command for notifying the voice lamp control device 113 of the number of held balls is set (S905). Various counter values such as the special hit random number counter C1, the special hit type counter C2, the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 are read (obtained) from the counter buffer, and the special symbol holding ball in the RAM 203 is read. The special hit random number counter storage area 203c1, the special hit type counter storage area 203c2, the fluctuation pattern determination counter storage area 203c3, and the fluctuation type counter storage area 203c4 of the execution area 203c are each suspended (stored) (S906).

  Next, the first prefetch process is executed (S907). The first look-ahead process (FIG. 25, S108) will be described in detail later, but a first special display in which the variable display start order based on each counter value newly stored in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a is stored. It is determined in advance what number the symbol and the second special symbol are combined, and the determination result, the determined variation pattern, the stop type, etc. from the variation display order and the stored counter values A process for determining is performed.

  Next, for each process from S908 to S914, a process similar to the process performed for winning the game ball to the first start port 63a performed in each process from S901 to S907 is the second process. Since the only difference is that the process is executed for the start port 63b, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, the first look-ahead process (S907), which is one process of the start winning process (FIG. 24, S108), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the first prefetch process (S907).

  In the first look-ahead process (FIG. 25, S907), first, a special hit random number counter C1, a special hit type counter C2, which are various counter values from the storage area newly stored in the first special symbol hold storage area 203a, change Each value of the pattern determination counter C3 and the variation type counter CS1 is read. The read data is stored in the vacant storage area of the rearrangement storage area 203u, and the variable display based on the newly stored reservation data (each counter value) is started. The variable display start time is calculated (S922).

  As shown in FIG. 12, the fluctuation start time is a special symbol in the variable display corresponding to the newly stored reserved data (if the reserved data is based on the first start port 63a, the first special symbol, the second If the hold data is based on the special symbol 63b, the remaining variation time of the second special symbol) and each hold data stored earlier are determined based on the same start ports 63a and 63b as the newly stored hold data. It is calculated by adding the respective fluctuation times.

  Here, each of the stored data previously stored based on the same start port as the newly stored stored data is the first stored data if the stored data is stored data based on the first start port 63a. Is stored data based on the first start port 63a (corresponding to the first special symbol) stored on the other hand, and if the newly stored stored data is stored data based on the second start port 63b, it is stored first The reserved data (corresponding to the second special symbol) based on the second start port 63b.

  When the variable display start time is calculated, the rearranged order is renumbered in order from the earliest variable display start time of all the stored data stored in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u (S923). Here, regarding the renumbering of the variable display start time, in this embodiment, the renumbering is performed for all the pending data, but not limited to this, when the previous and the variable display start order are switched, that is, When the newly stored variable data display start order of the stored data is interrupted by the previously stored variable data display start order, only the order of the change may be renumbered. Good.

  It is determined whether or not the prefetching probability change flag 203u6 that is one before the variable display start order of the newly stored pending data is set to ON (S924). If it is determined that the look-ahead probability change flag 203u6 immediately before the change display start order of the newly stored pending data is set to ON (S924: Yes), the special symbol jackpot random number for high probability Based on the jackpot determination value of the table 202a, whether or not the first special symbol is predicted is predicted, and the determination result is stored in the corresponding rearrangement hold storage area 203u (S925). On the other hand, if it is determined that the look-ahead probability change flag 203u6 immediately before the variable display start order of the stored data that has been newly stored is off (S924: No), the special symbol jackpot random number table for low probability Based on the jackpot determination value of 202a, whether or not the first special symbol is predicted is predicted, and the determination result is stored in the corresponding rearrangement hold storage area 203u (S927).

  The first prefetch update process is executed (S926). The first prefetch update process (FIG. 26, S926) will be described in detail later, but the determination result of the hold data (various counter values) stored in the sort hold storage area 203u in the order in which the variable display is actually started. Is stored (updated), the jackpot type (whether or not it is a probable change) and the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time).

  Next, the first prefetch update process (S926), which is one process of the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the first prefetch update process (S926).

  In the first prefetch update process (FIG. 26, S926), first, it is determined whether the success / failure determination result predicted in the process of S925 in the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) is a big hit (S931). When it is determined that the success / failure determination result predicted in the process of S925 in the first look-ahead process (FIG. 25, S907) is a jackpot (S931: Yes), the predicted jackpot is a probability variable jackpot (15R probability variable jackpot or second R It is discriminated whether it is a probable big hit (S932). When it is determined that the predicted jackpot is a probabilistic jackpot (S932: Yes), the prefetching probabilistic flag 203u6 of the rearrangement pending storage area 203u corresponding to the newly stored pending data is set to ON (S933). . Note that when the data is shifted and stored in the upper reservation area, the pre-reading probability change n flag 203u6 is set to OFF because the data in the reservation area before the shift is cleared to zero. The prefetching probability change flag 203u6 that has been set to ON once is turned off by being overwritten (cleared to 0) when the next new data is shifted in the changing data storage area in order. Is set.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the predicted jackpot is not a probabilistic jackpot (that is, 15R normal jackpot) (S932: No), the process of S934 is executed.

  The special hit type counter C2 for the stored data newly stored from the special hit fluctuation pattern table 202d corresponding to the gaming state at the start of the fluctuation display (whether the probability change or the time is short), the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3 Based on the value of the variation type counter CS1, a variation pattern determined at the start of variation display is predicted (S934).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the result of the determination as to whether or not the result of the determination in S925 in the first look-ahead process (FIG. 25, S907) is out of order (S931: No), the gaming state at the start of the variable display (probability change or time reduction Is determined at the start of the fluctuation display based on the values of the fluctuation pattern determination counter C3 and fluctuation type counter CS1 of the newly stored pending data from the special deviation fluctuation pattern table 202e corresponding to A variation pattern is predicted (S935).

  The predicted success / failure, stop type, and variation pattern are stored in the area corresponding to the winning order in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u (corresponding to the newly stored hold data) (S936). It is determined whether the change display start order of the hold data newly stored in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u has been stored by changing (changing the order) into the change display start order stored previously (S937). . When it is determined that the change display start order of the hold data newly stored in the rearrangement hold storage area 203u is stored by changing (changing the order) into the change display start order stored previously. (S937: Yes) For the hold data after the change display start order of the newly stored hold data, the success / failure type, stop type, and change pattern are predicted again and updated (S938). The sound lamp control device stores each data based on the success / failure type, stop pattern, variation pattern, winning order, variation display start sequence, prefetching probability variation flag u6 corresponding to all the suspended data stored in the rearrangement storage area 203u. A winning command for notifying 113 is generated for each pending data (S939).

  Next, the second look-ahead process (S914), which is one process of the start winning process (FIG. 24, S108), will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the second prefetch process (S914).

  The second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914) is prefetched and stored in advance based on the fact that the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) has won the first start port 63a. This is a process for determining the order of starting the variable data display and making various determinations. On the other hand, the stored data stored in advance is prefetched from the stored data based on winning in the second start port 63b. Since the same processing is executed only in that it is the processing for determining the variable display start order and performing various determinations, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Also, in the second prefetch update process (S946), which is one process of the second prefetch process (FIGS. 27 and 914) shown in FIG. 28, the first prefetch update process (FIG. 26, S926) described above is the first. This is a process for predicting various selection data based on the change display start order of the hold data based on winning at the 1 start opening 63a, and generating a winning command, while winning at the 2nd start opening 63b. Based on the change display start order of the pending data based on that, the selection process is predicted and a winning command is generated. To do.

  In this way, a game ball wins at the first start opening 63a or the second start opening 63b, and various counter values are newly stored in the first special symbol reservation ball storage area 203a or the second special symbol reservation ball storage area 203b. When the hold data is stored (the stored data is stored), the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914) is executed. The newly stored on-hold data is stored in the on-holding ball storage area 203u in which the order of starting the variable display is first arranged in the first pre-reading process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second pre-reading process (FIG. 27, S914). Since it is determined by comparing with the variable display start time of each held data that has been stored, the game state (whether or not the probability change is in progress) is accurately determined when the stored data that has been stored is started to be displayed in a variable manner. can do. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine the determination result, the stop type, the variation pattern displayed in a variable manner, and the like. Therefore, when the reserved data is newly stored in the first special symbol reserved sphere storage area 203a or the first special symbol reserved sphere storage area 203b, the first look-ahead processing (FIG. 25, S907) or the second Based on the fluctuation time (fluctuation pattern) of each pending data predicted in the prefetching process (FIG. 27, S914), the fluctuation display start time of the newly stored pending data can be accurately predicted. As a result, the correct variation display start order can be predicted.

  In addition, when the variable display start order of the newly stored pending data is stored (interrupted earlier) and stored in the previously stored variable display start order of the stored data, the newly stored hold For each pending data in the variable display start order after the data, the gaming state at the start of the variable display is predicted again by the first prefetch process (FIG. 25, S907) or the second prefetch process (FIG. 27, S914). Accordingly, since the prediction (prefetching) of the success / failure, stop type, and variation pattern is performed, a winning command can be generated based on a more accurate prediction result. Therefore, the voice lamp control device 113 can grasp the accurate prediction result of the stored hold data from the winning command.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 29, the normal symbol variation process (S109) which is one process of the timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing this normal symbol variation processing (S109). The normal symbol variation process (S109) is a process for controlling the second symbol variation display performed by the second symbol display device 88, the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 64, and the like.

  In this normal symbol variation processing, first, it is determined whether or not the present symbol is hitting the normal symbol (second symbol). (S1001). The hitting of the normal symbol (second symbol) includes from the time when the second symbol display unit 88 displays the winning symbol to the middle when the opening / closing control of the ordinary electric accessory 64 is being performed. If it is determined that the normal symbol (second symbol) is being hit (S1001: Yes), this processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal symbol (second symbol) is not hit (S1001: No), it is determined whether the normal symbol on the second symbol display unit 88 is being displayed in a variable manner (S1002). If it is determined that the normal symbol (second symbol) is being displayed in a variable manner (S1002: Yes), it is determined whether or not the variation time of the normal symbol being executed in the second symbol display unit 88 has elapsed ( S1003). The variation time here is a time set in advance by the processing of S1017 and the processing of S1018, which will be described later, before the variable display is started in the second symbol display unit 88.

  In the process of S1003, if the variation time has not elapsed (S1003: No), this process ends. On the other hand, in the process of S1003, when it is determined that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol that is variably displayed has elapsed (S1003: Yes), the stop display of the second symbol display unit 88 is set (S1004). . In the process of S1004, if the normal symbol lottery is won and the display mode is set by the process of S1018, the second symbol display unit 88 displays the “○” symbol as a second symbol in a stopped display (lighted display). ). On the other hand, if the normal symbol lottery is lost and the display mode at the time of removal is set by the processing of S1017, the “x” symbol is displayed as a second symbol on the second symbol display unit 88 as a stop display (lights on). Display). When the stop display is set by the process of S1004, the variable display in the second symbol display unit 88 ends, and the stop symbol (the second symbol) is displayed in the display mode set in the processes of S1017 and S1018. 2 Stop display (lighting display) on the symbol display section 88.

  Next, it is determined whether the current lottery result for normal symbols is a win (S1005). When it is determined that the current normal symbol lottery result is a win (S1005: Yes), opening / closing control start of the ordinary electric accessory 64 is set (1006). On the other hand, if it is determined that the current normal symbol lottery result is out of place (S1005: No), this processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the processing of S1002 that the normal symbol is not in a variable display (S1002: No), the value of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g (the number M of the variable display hold in the normal symbol) is acquired. (S1007). After the process of S1007, the process of S1023 is executed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is greater than 0 (S1008). When it is determined that the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is 0 (S1008: No), this process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is not 0 (S1008: Yes), the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is decremented by 1 (S1009).

  Next, the data stored in the normal symbol reserved ball storage area 203h is shifted (S1010). In the process of S1010, the data stored in the normal symbol hold 1 to the normal symbol hold 4 in the normal symbol hold ball storage area 203h is sequentially shifted to the execution area side. More specifically, normal symbol hold 1 → execution area, normal symbol hold 2 → normal symbol hold 1, normal symbol hold 3 → normal symbol hold 2, normal symbol hold 4 → normal symbol hold 4 and so on in each area. Shift data. After the data is shifted, the value of the normal hit random number counter C4 stored in the normal symbol holding ball execution area 203i is acquired (S1011).

  Next, it is determined that the value of the time reduction counter 203k is 1 or more (that is, not 0) (S1012). When it is determined that the value of the time reduction counter 203k is 0 (that is, not in time reduction) (S1012: No), the hit determination value of the random number table per normal symbol for low probability (FIG. 8 (d)) On the basis of the result, the determination result is obtained (S1013). On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the hour / hour counter 203k is not 0 (that is, the hour is shorter) (S1012: Yes), it is determined whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is being jackpoted ( S1014). If it is determined that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit (S1014: Yes), the processing of S1013 is executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not a big hit (S1014: No), the hit determination value of the random number table per ordinary symbol for high probability (FIG. 8D) is used. Based on the result, the determination result is obtained (S1015).

  Next, it is determined whether the lottery result of the second symbol (ordinary symbol) is a win (S1016). When it is determined that the lottery result of the second symbol (ordinary symbol) is not winning (that is, it is out of place) (S1016: No), the display mode of “x” that is the display mode at the time of losing is set. (S1017). On the other hand, when it is determined that the lottery result of the second symbol (ordinary symbol) is a win (that is, a win) (S1016: Yes), the display mode of “O” that is the display mode of the win is It is set (S1018).

  It is determined whether or not the value of the hour / hour counter 203k is 1 or more (that is, the gaming state is medium / short (including probability change)) (S1019). If it is determined that the time is not short (S1019: No), the opening time of the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric utility item 64 is set to 0.2 s and the number of times of opening is set to 1 (S1020).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the time is short (S1019: Yes), it is determined whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is being hit (S1021). If it is determined that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is being hit (S1021: Yes), the processing of S1020 is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not big hit (S1021: No), the opening time of the blades 64a and 64b of the ordinary electric accessory 64 is 1 s, and the number of times of opening is twice. It is set (S1020).

  It is determined whether or not the value of the hour / hour counter 203k is 1 or more (that is, the gaming state is medium / short (including probability change)) (S1023). If it is determined that the time is short (S1023: Yes), the variation time of the normal symbol (second symbol) is set to 3 s (S1024). On the other hand, if it is determined that the time is not short (S1023: No), the variation time of the normal symbol (second symbol) is set to 30 s (S1025).

  Next, the through gate passage process (S110) executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the through gate passing process (S110). This through gate passing process (S110) is executed in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14), and it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the normal symbol start port 67, and when the game ball has passed. This is a process for acquiring and holding the value indicated by the normal hit random number counter C4.

  In the through gate passing process (FIG. 30, S110), first, it is determined whether or not the sphere has passed through the normal symbol starting port (gate) 67 (S1031). Here, it is detected over three timer interruption processes that the game ball has passed through the normal symbol start port 67. If it is determined that the ball has passed through the normal symbol start port 67 (S1031: Yes), the value (M) of the normal symbol reservation ball number counter 203g is acquired (S1032). Then, it is determined whether or not the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is less than the upper limit value (4 in the present embodiment) (S1033).

  Whether the ball has not passed through the normal symbol start port (gate) 67 (S1031: No), or even if the ball has passed through the normal symbol start port 67, the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is If it is not less than 4 (S1033: No), this process is terminated. On the other hand, if the ball passes through the normal symbol start port 67 (S1031: Yes) and the value (M) of the normal symbol reserved ball number counter 203g is less than 4 (S1033: Yes), the normal symbol reserved ball number counter One is added to the value (M) of 203 g (S1034). Then, the value of the normal hit random number counter C4 updated in S106 of the timer interrupt process described above and the first normal symbol flag are used as an empty reserved area (ordinary symbol hold 1 to normal symbol in the normal symbol hold ball storage area 203h of the RAM 203). Stored in the first area of the hold 4) (S1035). In the process of S1035, the value of the normal symbol reservation ball counter 203g is referred to. If the value is 0, the area of the normal symbol reservation 1 is set as the first area. Similarly, if the value is 1, the normal symbol hold 2 area, if the value is 2, the normal symbol hold 3 area, if the value is 3, the normal symbol hold 4 area first. The area.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an NMI interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. The NMI interruption process is a process executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. By this NMI interrupt processing, the information on the occurrence of power interruption is stored in the RAM 203. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. Then, the MPU 201 interrupts the control being executed and starts the NMI interrupt process, stores the power-off occurrence information in the RAM 203 as a setting of the power-off occurrence information (S1041), and ends the NMI interrupt process. To do.

  The above NMI interrupt process is executed in the same manner in the payout and emission control device 111, and information on the occurrence of power interruption is stored in the RAM 213 by the NMI interrupt process. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 211 in the payout control device 111, and the MPU 211 interrupts the control being executed. Thus, the NMI interrupt process is started.

  Next, a startup process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 when the main control device 110 is powered on will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing this start-up process.

  This start-up process is activated by a reset at power-on. In the start-up process (FIG. 32), first, an initial setting process associated with power-on is executed (S1101). For example, a predetermined value set in advance for the stack pointer is set. Next, a wait process (1 second in this embodiment) is executed in order to wait for the sub-side control device (peripheral control devices such as the sound lamp control device 113 and the payout control device 111) to be operable. (S1102). Then, access to the RAM 203 is permitted (S1103).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) provided in the power supply device 115 is turned on (S1104). If it is turned on (S1104: Yes), the process proceeds to S1110. On the other hand, if the RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) is not turned on (S1104: No), it is further determined whether or not the information on the occurrence of power interruption is stored in the RAM 203 (11605). (S1105: No), there is a possibility that the process at the time of the previous power shutdown has not ended normally. In this case as well, the process proceeds to S1110.

  If the power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S1105: Yes), the RAM determination value is calculated (S1106). If the calculated RAM determination value is not normal (S1107: No), that is, the calculated RAM If the determination value does not match the RAM determination value stored at the time of power-off, the backed up data has been destroyed, so the process moves to S1110 even in such a case. The RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value at the work area address of the RAM 203. Instead of the RAM determination value, the validity of the backup may be determined based on whether or not the keyword written in a predetermined area of the RAM 203 is correctly stored.

  In the processing of S1110, a payout initialization command is transmitted in order to initialize the payout control device 111 as a sub-side control device (peripheral control device) (S1110). Upon receiving this payout initialization command, the payout control device 111 clears an area (work area) other than the stack area of the RAM 213, sets an initial value, and enters a state in which game ball payout control can be started. After transmitting the payout initialization command, main controller 110 executes initialization processing (S1111 and S1112) of RAM 203.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, when RAM data is initialized when the power is turned on, for example, at the start of business in the hall, the power is turned on while pressing the RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122). Therefore, if the RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) is pressed during the start-up process, the RAM 203 initialization process (S1111 and S1112) is executed.

  Similarly, the initialization processing (S1111 and S1112) of the RAM 203 is executed when the information on occurrence of power interruption is not set or when a backup abnormality is confirmed by the RAM determination value (checksum value or the like). . In the RAM initialization process (S1111 and S1112), the used area of the RAM 203 is cleared to 0 (S1111), and then the initial value of the RAM 203 is set (S1112). After executing the initialization process of the RAM 203, the process proceeds to S1113.

  On the other hand, the RAM erase switch (FIG. 3, 122) is not turned on (S1104: No), information on occurrence of power interruption is stored (S1105: Yes), and the RAM judgment value (checksum value etc.) is also stored. If it is normal (S1107: Yes), the power-off occurrence information is cleared while the backed up data is held in the RAM 203 (S1108). Next, a payout return command at the time of power recovery for returning the sub-side control device (peripheral control device) to the gaming state when the drive power supply is cut off is transmitted (S1109), and the process proceeds to S1113. When the payout control device 111 receives this payout return command, the payout control device 111 is in a state where the payout control of the game ball can be started while holding the data stored in the RAM 213.

  Next, an effect permission command for permitting execution of various effects is output to the sound lamp control device 113 (S1113). Thereafter, an interrupt is permitted (S914). Then, the process proceeds to a main process (S1200) described later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 33, the main process (S1200) executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 after the startup process described above will be described. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing this main process (S1200). In the main process (S1200), roughly divided, a counter update process and a power-off process are executed.

  In the main process (FIG. 33, S1200), first, output data such as commands stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223 in the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 14) is sent to each sub-side. External output processing to be transmitted to the control device (peripheral control device) is executed (S1201).

  Next, the value of the variation type counter CS1 is updated (S1202). Specifically, the variation type counter CS1 is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (100 in the present embodiment). Then, the updated value of the variation type counter CS 1 is stored in the counter buffer 202 b of the RAM 203.

  When the update of the variation type counter CS1 is completed, the winning ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 111 are read (S1203). The display control process of the first symbol display device 37 is executed (S1204).

  Next, the display control process of the 2nd symbol (for example, symbol of "(circle)" or "x") by the 2nd symbol display part 88 is performed (S1205). Briefly, on the condition that the sphere has passed through the normal symbol start port (through gate) 67, the value of the second random number counter C4 is acquired at the timing of the passage, and the second symbol display unit 88 displays the value. Then, the variation display of the second symbol is performed. Then, the lottery of the second symbol is carried out based on the value of the normal winning random number counter C4, and when the winning state of the second symbol is reached, the ordinary electric accessory 64 is released for a predetermined time.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the occurrence information of power interruption is stored in the RAM 203 (S1206). If the occurrence information of power interruption is not stored in the RAM 203 (S1206: No), a power failure signal is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252. SG1 is not output and the power supply is not shut off. Therefore, in such a case, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next main process has been reached, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (4 ms in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the previous main process (S1207). If the predetermined time has already passed (S1207: Yes), the process proceeds to S1201, and the above-described processes after S1201 are repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, if the predetermined time has not yet elapsed since the start of the previous main process (S1207: No), the initial time is reached until the predetermined time is reached, that is, within the remaining time until the execution timing of the next main process. The value random number counter CINI1, the normal initial value random number counter CINI2, and the variation type counter CS1 are repeatedly updated (S1208, S1209).

  First, the initial value random number counter CINI1 and the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S1208). Specifically, the initial value random number counter CINI1 and the ordinary initial value random number counter CINI2 are incremented by 1, and are cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (399, 239 in this embodiment). Then, the updated values of the initial value random number counter CINI1 and the normal initial value random number counter CINI2 are stored in the counter buffer of the RAM 203, respectively. Next, the variation type counter CS1 is updated by the same method as the processing of S1202 (S1209).

  Here, since the execution time of each process of S1201 to S1205 changes according to the state of the game, the remaining time until the next main process execution timing is not constant but is displayed in a variable manner. Therefore, the initial value random number counter CINI1 and the ordinary initial value random number counter CINI2 are repeatedly updated by using the remaining time, whereby the initial value random number counter CINI1 and the ordinary initial value random number counter CINI2 (that is, the special hit random number counter C1). The initial value of the normal random number counter C4) can be updated at random, and similarly, the variation type counter CS1 can be updated at random.

  In the process of S1206, if the occurrence information of power interruption is stored in the RAM 203 (S1206: Yes), the power supply is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or power off, and the power failure monitoring circuit 252 outputs the power failure signal SG1. As a result, since the NMI interrupt process of FIG. 31 has been executed, the power-off process after S1210 is executed. First, the generation of each interrupt process is prohibited (S1210), and a power-off command indicating that the power has been cut off is sent to other control devices (peripheral control devices such as the payout control device 111 and the sound lamp control device 113). (S1211). Then, the RAM determination value is calculated and stored (S1212), access to the RAM 203 is prohibited (S1213), and the infinite loop is continued until the power supply is completely shut down and the process cannot be executed. Here, the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the stack area and work area to be backed up in the RAM 203.

  It should be noted that the processing of S1206 is performed at the end of a series of processing corresponding to the game state change performed in S1201 to S1205, or at the end of one cycle of the processing of S1208 and S1209 performed within the remaining time. It is running. Therefore, in the main process of the main controller 110, the occurrence information of the power supply interruption is confirmed at the timing when each setting is completed. Therefore, when returning from the power interruption state, the process is performed after the start-up process is completed. The process can be started from S1201. In other words, the process can be started from the process of S1201 as in the case where the initialization process is initialized. Therefore, in the process at the time of power shutdown, the contents of each register used by the MPU 201 are not saved in the stack area or the value of the stack pointer is not saved. In the initial setting process (S1301), the stack pointer By setting to a predetermined value (initial value), it is possible to start from the processing of S1201. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the control burden on the main control device 110 and to perform accurate control without causing the main control device 110 to malfunction or run away.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing of the MPU 221 is broadly classified into a startup process that is activated when the power is turned on and a main process (S1400) that is executed after the startup process.

  First, a startup process executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing this start-up process. This startup process is started when the power is turned on.

  When the start-up process is executed, first, an initial setting process associated with power-on is executed (S1301). Specifically, a predetermined value set in advance for the stack pointer is set. Thereafter, depending on whether or not the power-off process flag is turned on, the power-on process of S1418 (see FIG. 35) is performed due to an instantaneous voltage drop (momentary power failure, so-called “momentary power failure”). ) Is determined during execution (S1302). As will be described later with reference to FIG. 35, when the sound lamp control device 113 receives a power-off command from the main control device 110 (see S1415 in FIG. 35), it executes a power-off process in S1418. The power-off processing flag is turned on before execution of the power-off processing, and the power-off processing flag is turned off after the power-off processing ends. Therefore, whether or not the power-off process in S1418 is in the middle of execution can be determined by the state of the power-off process flag.

  If the power-off process flag is off (S1302: No), the current start-up process is started after the power supply is completely shut off or after a momentary power failure occurs and the power-off process in S1418 is performed. It was started after the execution of the process was completed, or started only after the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 was reset due to noise or the like (without receiving a power-off command from the main control device 110). is there. Therefore, in these cases, it is confirmed whether or not the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed (S1303).

  Confirmation of data destruction of the RAM 223 is performed as follows. That is, data as a keyword “55AAh” is written in a specific area of the RAM 223 by the process of S1306. Therefore, the data stored in the specific area is checked, and if the data is “55AAh”, there is no data destruction in the RAM 223. Conversely, if the data is not “55AAh”, the data destruction in the RAM 223 can be confirmed. If data destruction of the RAM 223 is confirmed (S1303: Yes), the process proceeds to S1304, and initialization of the RAM 223 is started. On the other hand, if data destruction of the RAM 223 is not confirmed (S1303: No), the process proceeds to S1308.

  If the current start-up process is started after the power supply is completely shut down, the keyword “55AAh” is not stored in the specific area of the RAM 223 (the memory in the RAM 223 is lost due to the power-off). ), It is determined that the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed (S1303: Yes), and the process proceeds to S1304. On the other hand, this startup process was started after an instantaneous power failure and after completing the power-off process in S1418, or reset only to the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 due to noise or the like. When the process starts, since the keyword “55AAh” is stored in the specific area of the RAM 223, the data in the RAM 223 is determined to be normal (S1303: No), and the process proceeds to S1308.

  If the power-off process flag is on (S1302: Yes), the startup process of this time is after the instantaneous power failure, and during the execution of the power-off process of S1418, the sound lamp control device 113. The MPU 221 is started after being reset. In such a case, since the power-off process is being executed, the storage state of the RAM 223 is not necessarily correct. Therefore, since control cannot be continued in such a case, the process proceeds to S1304, and initialization of the RAM 223 is started.

  In the process of S1304, the entire storage area of the RAM 223 is checked (S1304). As a check method, first, “0FFh” is written for each byte, and it is read for each byte to check whether it is “0FFh”. The writing and checking for each byte are performed in the order of “55h”, “0AAh”, and “00h” after “0FFh”. This RAM 223 read / write check clears all storage areas of the RAM 223 to zero.

  If it is determined that the read / write check is normal for all the storage areas of the RAM 223 (S1305: Yes), the keyword “55AAh” is written in the specific area of the RAM 223 and the RAM destruction check data is set (S1306). By checking the keyword “55AAh” written in the specific area, it is checked whether or not there is data corruption in the RAM 223. On the other hand, if an abnormality of the read / write check is detected in any storage area of the RAM 223 (S1305: No), the abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified (S1307), and an infinite loop is performed until the power is shut off. The abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified by the display lamp 34. The sound output device 226 may output a sound to notify the abnormality of the RAM 223, or an error command may be transmitted to the display control device 114 to display an error message on the third symbol display device 81. It may be.

  In the process of S1308, it is determined whether or not the power-off flag is turned on (S1308). The power-off flag is turned on when the power-off process in S1418 is executed (see S1417 in FIG. 35). In other words, since the power-off flag is turned on before the power-off process in S1418 is executed, the current start-up process is instantaneous because the power-off flag is turned on to reach the process in S1308. This is a case where the process is started after a power failure has occurred and the execution of the power-off process in S1418 is completed. Therefore, in such a case (S1308: Yes), the RAM work area is cleared to initialize each process of the sound lamp control device 113 (S1109), the initial value of the RAM 223 is set (S1310), and the interrupt is performed. The permission is set (S1113), and the process proceeds to the main process (S1400). Note that the work area of the RAM 223 is an area other than an area for storing commands received from the main control device 110.

  On the other hand, when the power-off flag is turned off, the process of S1308 is reached because the current start-up process is started after, for example, the power supply is completely shut down, so that the process of S1308 is performed via the processes of S1304 to S1306. This is a case where the processing has been reached, or the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 is reset only (without receiving a power-off command from the main control device 110) due to noise or the like. Therefore, in such a case (S1308: No), S1309, which is the work area clear process of the RAM 223, is skipped, the process proceeds to S1310, and the initial value of the RAM 223 is set (S1310).

  The reason for skipping the clear process in S1309 is that when the process from S1304 to S1308 is reached via the process in S1306, all the storage areas of the RAM 223 have already been cleared by the process in S1304. When only the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 is reset due to noise or the like and the start-up process is started, the data in the work area of the RAM 223 is stored without being cleared, so that the sound lamp control device 113 is saved. This is because the control can be continued.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35, the main process (S1400) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 after the startup process of the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing this main process (S1400). When the main process (S1400) is executed, first, it is determined whether or not 1 millisecond or more has elapsed since the main process (S1400) was started or since the previous process of S1401 was executed ( S1401) If 1 millisecond or more has not elapsed (S1401: No), the processing proceeds to S1411 without performing the processing of S1402 to S1410. Whether or not 1 millisecond has elapsed in the process of S1401 is a process related to display (production) in S1402 to S1410, whereas it is not necessary to edit in a short cycle (within 1 millisecond). This is because it is preferable to execute the variable display process of S1411 and the command determination process of S1412 in a short cycle. By executing the processing of S1414 in a short cycle, it is possible to prevent the reception of a command transmitted from the main controller 110 from being missed. By executing the processing of S1414 in a short cycle, the command received by the command determination processing Based on the above, it is possible to make a setting related to the variable display effect without delay.

  If one millisecond or more has elapsed in the process of S1401 (S1401: Yes), first, various commands for the display control apparatus 114 set by the processes of S1403 to S1414 are transmitted to the display control apparatus 114 ( S1402). Next, the setting of the lighting mode of the display lamp 34 and the lighting mode of the lamp edited in the processing of S1409 described later are set (S1403), and then the power-on notification process is executed (S1404). In the power-on notification process, when the power is turned on, a notification is given to notify that the power has been turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). Is called. Moreover, it is good also as what transmits a command to the display control apparatus 114 to alert | report that power was supplied on the screen of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81. FIG. If the power is not turned on, the process proceeds to S1405 without performing the notification by the power-on notification process.

  In the process of S1405, a waiting-for-customer effect is executed, and then a hold number display update process is executed (S1406). In the customer waiting effect, when a time during which the pachinko machine 10 is not played by the player has elapsed for a predetermined time, setting for switching the display of the third symbol display device 81 to the title screen is performed, and the setting is displayed as a command as a display control device. 114. In the hold number display update process (S1406), as will be described in detail later, a process of updating the display of the hold symbol display of the third symbol display device 81 is executed based on the data in the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k. .

  Thereafter, frame button input monitoring / effect processing is executed (S1407). This frame button input monitoring / production process monitors the input of whether or not the frame button 22 operated by the player has been pressed to enhance the production effect, and corresponds to the case where the input of the frame button 22 is confirmed. This is a process for setting to produce an effect. In this process, when an operation by the player on the frame button 22 is detected, a frame button operation command for notifying the display control device 114 that the frame button 22 has been operated is set.

  In addition, when the frame button 22 is pressed during a rearrangeable period (a period during which the jackpot game and the state without a hold are omitted), the hold symbol display that is displayed in the order in which the hold is established starts the variable display. It is rearranged in order and displayed.

  When the frame button input monitoring / production process ends, the lamp editing process is then executed (S1408), and then the sound editing / output process is executed (S1409). In the lamp editing process, lighting patterns and the like of the illumination units 29 to 33 are set so as to correspond to the display performed on the third symbol display device 81. In the sound editing / output process, the output pattern of the sound output device 226 is set so as to correspond to the display performed on the third symbol display device 81, and the sound is output from the sound output device 226 according to the setting.

  After the process of S1409, a liquid crystal effect execution management process is executed (S1410). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S1411. In the liquid crystal effect execution management process, a time synchronized with the time required for the variable display performed by the third symbol display device 81 is set based on the variable pattern command transmitted from the main controller 110. The lamp editing process of S1408 is executed based on the time set in the liquid crystal effect execution monitoring process. Note that the sound editing / output process of S1409 is also executed in a time synchronized with the time required for the variable display performed in the third symbol display device 81.

  In the process of S1411, in order to display the variable display effect on the third symbol display device 81, a display variation pattern command is generated based on the variation pattern command received from the main control device 110, and the command is displayed on the display control device 114. The variable display setting process, which is a process to be set for transmission, is executed. Details of the variation display setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the fluctuation display setting process (S1411), a temporary fluctuation stop process is executed (S1412). This temporary variation stop process (S1412) is a temporary first variation stop command indicating that the first special symbol is temporarily stopped from the main controller 110 or a temporary second variation stop command indicating that the second special symbol is temporarily stopped. Is received, the process for temporarily stopping the first special symbol or the second special symbol is executed. Details of the temporary variation stop process (S1412) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the temporary variation stop process (S1412), the hold rearrangement process is executed (S1413). In the hold rearrangement process, the held symbol display is rearranged and displayed based on the player's button operation from the winning order to the variable display start order based on the winning command output from the main control device 110. Execute the process. Details of the hold rearrangement process (S1413) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the hold rearrangement process (S1413), a command determination process for performing a process according to the command received from the main controller 110 is performed (S1414). Details of this command determination processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the processing of S1414 ends, it is determined whether or not the information on occurrence of power interruption is stored in the work RAM 233 (S1415). The information on the occurrence of power-off is stored when a power-off command is received from the main controller 110. If power failure occurrence information is stored in the processing of S1415 (S1415: Yes), both the power interruption flag and the power interruption processing flag are turned on (S1417), and the power interruption processing is executed (S1418). After the power-off process is executed, the power-off process flag is turned off (S1419), and then the process is looped infinitely. In the power-off process, the generation of the interrupt process is prohibited and each output port is turned off to turn off the output from the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. Further, the storage of the information on occurrence of power interruption is also erased.

  On the other hand, if the information on the occurrence of power interruption is not stored in the process of S1415 (S1415: No), it is determined whether or not the RAM 223 is destroyed based on the keyword stored in the RAM 223 (S1416), and the RAM 223 is destroyed. If not (S1416: No), the process returns to S1401, and the main process (S1400) is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if the RAM 223 is destroyed (S1416: Yes), the processing is looped infinitely in order to stop the subsequent processing. Here, if it is determined that the RAM is destroyed and an infinite loop is performed, the main process (S1400) is not executed, and thereafter the display by the third symbol display device 81 does not change. Therefore, since the player can know that an abnormality has occurred, he can call a hall clerk or the like and request repair of the pachinko machine 10 or the like. Further, when it is confirmed that the RAM 223 is destroyed, the sound output device 226 or the lamp display device 227 may notify the RAM destruction.

  Next, a command determination process (S1414) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing this command determination processing (S1414). This command determination processing (S1414) is executed in the main processing (S1400) (see FIG. 35) executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113, and the command received from the main control device 110 as described above. Determine. Details of the command determination process (S1414) will be described below.

  In the command determination process (FIG. 36, S1414), first, from the command storage area 223a provided in the RAM 223, the first command received from the main controller 110 among unprocessed commands is read and analyzed. Whether or not the first variation pattern command is received is determined (S1501). Here, the first variation pattern command is a special symbol indicating a variation display mode for variably displaying the first special symbol. If it is determined that the first variation pattern command has been received (S1501: Yes), the first variation start flag 223c1 provided in the RAM 223 is set on (S1502). A variation pattern type is extracted from the received first variation pattern command (S1503). The extracted variation pattern type is stored in the other memory area 223m of the RAM 223 so as to be identifiable as the variation pattern type of the first special symbol, and is displayed in a variation display setting process (FIG. 38, S1411) described later. It is used when setting the first special symbol display variation pattern command to notify the control device 114 of the start of the first special symbol variation display effect and the variation pattern type of the first special symbol.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the first variation pattern command has not been received (S1501: No), it is determined whether or not the second variation pattern command has been received from the main controller 110 (S1505). Here, the second variation pattern command is a special symbol indicating a variation display mode for variably displaying the second special symbol. If it is determined that the second variation pattern command has been received (S1504: Yes), the second variation start flag 223c2 provided in the RAM 223 is set to ON (S1505). The variation pattern type is extracted from the received second variation pattern command (S1506). The variation pattern type extracted here is stored in the other memory area 223m of the RAM 223 so as to be identifiable as the variation pattern type of the second special symbol, and is displayed in the variation display setting process (FIG. 38, S1411) described later. This is used when setting the second special symbol display variation pattern command for notifying the control device 114 of the start of the variation display effect of the second special symbol and the variation pattern type of the second special symbol.

  If it is determined that the second variation pattern command has not been received (S1504: No), it is determined whether the first or second stop type command has been received from the main controller 110 (S1507). When it is determined that the first or second stop type command is received (S1507: Yes), when the first stop type command is received, the first stop type selection flag is set to ON. When the second stop type command is received, the second stop type selection flag is set to ON. (S1508). From the received first stop type command or second stop type command, the stop type (either 15R probability variation jackpot, 15R normal jackpot or 2R probability variation jackpot) is extracted (S1506). The extracted stop type is stored in the other memory area 223m of the RAM 223 of the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113. The stop type extracted from the first stop type command can be identified as the stop type of the first special symbol, and the stop type extracted from the second stop type command is the stop type of the second special symbol. Are stored in an identifiable manner.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the first or second stop type command has not been received (S1507: No), it is determined whether a reserved ball number command has been received from the main controller 110 (S1510). If it is determined that the reserved ball number command has been received (S1510: Yes), the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e or the second special symbol reserved ball of the main controller 110 included in the received reserved ball number command. The value of the number counter f (that is, the number of reserved balls in the variable display effect of the first special symbol or the second special symbol held in the main controller 110) is extracted, and the number of reserved balls in the first special symbol is an audio lamp The number of reserved balls of the second special symbol stored in the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 223b2 is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 223b1 of the control device 113 (S1511).

  Here, the held ball number command is transmitted from the main control device 110 when the ball wins (start winning) at the first starting port 63a or the second starting port 63b. By the processing of S1508, the values of the first special symbol reserved ball counter 223b1 and the second special symbol reserved ball counter 223b2 of the sound lamp controller 113 are set to the first special symbol reserved ball counter 203e of the main controller 110 and the first special symbol reserved ball counter 203e. It can be adjusted to the value of 2 special symbol holding ball counter 203f. Therefore, the value of the first special symbol reserved ball counter 223b1 or the second special symbol reserved ball counter 223b2 of the sound lamp control device 113 is changed by the influence of noise or the like to the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e of the main controller 110. Alternatively, even if the value deviates from the value of the second special symbol reserved ball counter 203f, the value of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 223b1 or the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 223b2 of the voice lamp control device 113 is corrected when a start winning is detected. Then, it can be set to the value of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 203e or the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 203f of the main controller 110.

  If it is determined that the pending ball number command has not been received (S1510: No), it is determined whether a winning command has been received (S1512). If it is determined that a winning command has been received (S1512: Yes), information on each holding area of the rearrangement holding storage area 203u of the main control device 110 is extracted from the received command (S1510). Here, the information of each holding area in the rearrangement holding storage area 203u that is extracted is the determination result of each holding, the jackpot type, the variation pattern type, the variation display order, and the time until the start of the variation display. .

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a winning command has not been received (S1512: No), it is determined whether a provisional first variation stop command or a provisional second variation stop command has been received (S1515). If it is determined that the temporary first fluctuation stop command or the temporary second fluctuation stop command has been received (S1515: Yes), if the temporary first fluctuation stop command is received, the sub first fluctuation stop flag 223e is set. If it is set to ON and the temporary second change stop command is received, the second change stop flag 223f is set to ON (S1516).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the temporary first fluctuation stop command or the temporary second fluctuation stop command has not been received (S1515: No), the first special symbol fluctuation restart command or the second special symbol fluctuation restart command is received. It is discriminated whether or not (S1517). When it is determined that the first special symbol variation restart command or the second special symbol variation restart command is received (S1517: Yes), the first special symbol variation restart command corresponding to the received command is received. In this case, the sub first variation restart flag 223g is set to ON. When the second special symbol variation restart command is received, the secondary variation restart flag 223h is set to ON (S1518).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special symbol variation resumption command or the second special symbol variation resumption command has not been received (S1517: No), processing according to other commands is executed (S1519).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 37, the hold number display update process (S1406) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the reserved number display update process (S1406). This hold number display update process (S1406) is a process for updating the hold symbol display displayed on the third symbol display device 81 based on the data of each hold area of the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k. .

  In the hold number display update process (FIG. 37, S1406), first, the change display start time of the change start time storage area 223k5 of each hold area of the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k is updated. The execution period of this process (1 ms in this embodiment) is subtracted from each time data stored in the fluctuation start time storage area 223k5. Further, the update of the variable display start time is not limited to this, and may be performed by providing an RTC or the like, or may be performed by another method.

  The reserved symbol display corresponding to the reserved area where the reordering flag 223k7 of the secondary reordering storage area 223k is turned on is in the variable display start order, and the holding corresponding to the reserved area where the reordering flag 223k7 is turned off. As for the symbol display, the reserved symbol display is displayed in the order of establishment of the hold.

  Here, the rearrangement flag 223k7 is operated by the frame button 22 during the rearrangement possible period (in this embodiment, in the pending rearrangement process (FIG. 40, S1413) executed by the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113, which will be described later). In the case where the hold data is stored, it is set to ON. As a result, all the displayed on-hold symbol displays are rearranged from the on-hold establishment order based on the on-hold variable display start order. On the other hand, for the newly stored suspension after the rearrangement flag 223k7 is turned on, the rearrangement flag 223k7 is off, so the order established without rearrangement, that is, the third symbol display device 81 It is displayed at the end of the reserved symbol display displayed in.

  Therefore, when the player wants to rearrange the reserved symbol display and operates the frame button 22, the reserved symbol display displayed at that time is rearranged in the variable display start order, and thereafter In addition, the rearranged reserved symbol display is maintained in the variable display start order, while the reserved symbol display corresponding to the newly stored (generated) hold is displayed first in the formation order. Since it is displayed at the end without being interrupted and displayed in the held symbol display, the player can suppress the confusion of the order in which the current display is displayed. Can do.

  Further, by rearranging only the reserved symbol display that is displayed when the frame button 22 is operated in this way, the change display start order can be notified only when the player wants to know.

  In general, when 15R probability variation jackpot or 15R normal jackpot is reached, a relatively long variation pattern is selected. For this reason, the variable display start time is delayed for the hold established at the same start ports 63a and 63b as the big hit hold. Therefore, there is a case where the variable display start time is earlier in the case of the hold with the later establishment order generated at the start ports 63a and 63b different from the hold that is a big hit. In such a case, when the retained symbols are rearranged, the retained symbols with the later establishment order are displayed in front of the retained symbols with the earlier establishment order (on the suspended symbol display area Ds1 side). The Therefore, when the player operates the frame button 22 to rearrange the holding symbol display, if the holding symbol with the late establishment order is interrupted and displayed before the holding symbol with the early establishment order, Of the holding symbols displayed before the interrupted and displayed holding symbols, the holdings generated by winning the starting openings 63a and 63b different from the holding symbols displayed by interrupting may be a big hit. You can have expectations.

  Therefore, when the player operates the frame button 22, he / she thinks that there may be a big hit in the hold symbol display, and can operate the frame button in the hope that the arrangement order will change. The frame button 22 can be operated with a sense of expectation for the jackpot.

  Next, the variable display setting process (S1411) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the change display setting process (S1411). This variable display setting process (FIG. 38, S1411) is one process of the main process (S1400) (see FIG. 35) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113. As described above, the variation display setting process (FIG. 38, S1411) is based on the first or second variation pattern command received from the main controller 110 in order to display the variation display effect on the third symbol display device 81. Then, a process for generating a display variation pattern command for the first special symbol or the second special symbol and transmitting the command to the display control device 114 is executed. Further, processing for setting a first or second stop type command for display for notifying the display control device 114 of the stop type based on the extracted stop type (15R probability variation jackpot, 15R normal jackpot, 2R probability variation jackpot) Execute.

  In the fluctuation display setting process (FIG. 38, S1411), first, it is determined whether or not the first fluctuation start flag 223c1 provided in the RAM 223 is set to ON (S1601). If it is determined that the first fluctuation start flag 223c1 is off (S1601: No), the first fluctuation pattern command is not received from the main control device 110, so the process of S1606 is executed. To do. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first variation start flag 223c1 is on (S1601: Yes), the first variation start flag 223c is set to off (S1602).

  In the processing of S1603, the variation pattern in the variation display effect of the first special symbol extracted from the first variation pattern command in the processing of S1503 of the command determination processing (FIG. 36, S1414) is acquired from the other memory area 223m of the RAM 223. Thus, a display variation pattern command for the first special symbol is generated (S1603). The display variation pattern command for the first special symbol is configured to be able to identify whether it is a display variation pattern command corresponding to the first special symbol or a variation pattern command for the second special symbol. Specifically, if the upper 2 bits of the upper byte of the display variation pattern command having a 2-byte configuration is “10”, it indicates that the first special symbol is supported, and if it is “01”, the second special symbol. It is comprised so that it may respond | correspond to.

  The variation pattern command for display of the first special symbol set in the process of S1603 is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is executed by the command output process (S1402) of the main process (FIG. 35, S1400). It is transmitted to the display control device 114. The display control device 114 receives the variation pattern command for display of the first special symbol, and the special control pattern corresponding to the third symbol display device 81 with the variation pattern of the first special symbol indicated by the variation pattern command for display. Display control of the variation display effect is started so that the variation display of the symbol is performed.

  Here, when the display control device 114 receives the variation pattern command for display of the first special symbol, the left display area Dm1 of the third symbol display device 81 has a variation display mode indicated by the received variation pattern command for display. The first special symbol (third symbol) is variably displayed (dynamically displayed). With the setting of the display variation pattern command for the first special symbol, the reserved ball of the special symbol corresponding to the set display variation pattern command is consumed (that is, the variation corresponding to the retention ball of the first special symbol). In accordance with the display setting), the value of the first special symbol reserved ball number counter 223b1 is decremented by 1, and the hold data stored in the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k is stored in the previous hold area. It is shifted (S1604). More specifically, the reserved area 1 → the first special symbol or the second special symbol of the variable display data, the reserved area 2 → the reserved area 1, the reserved area 3 → the reserved area 2, the reserved area 4 → the reserved area 3, the reserved The data in each area is shifted, such as area 5 → hold area 4, hold area 6 → hold area 5, hold area 7 → hold area 6, hold area 8 → hold area 7.

  The measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is started using the first variation time storage area 223i (S1605).

  It is determined whether the second variation start flag 223c2 provided in the RAM 223 is set to ON (S1606). If it is determined that the second variation start flag 223c2 is not on (that is, is off) (S1606: No), the first variation pattern command is not received from the main controller 110. Therefore, the process of S1611 is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second variation start flag 223c2 is on (S1606: Yes), the second variation start flag 223c2 is set to off (S1607).

  In the process of S1506 of the command determination process (FIG. 36, S1414), the variation pattern in the variation display effect of the second special symbol extracted from the second variation pattern command is acquired from the other memory area 223m of the RAM 223, and the second A special symbol display variation pattern command is generated (S1608).

  The variation pattern command for display of the second special symbol set in the processing of S1608 is temporarily stored in the command transmission ring buffer provided in the RAM 223, and is output by the command output processing (S1402) of the main processing (FIG. 35, S1400). It is transmitted to the display control device 114. The display control device 114 receives the variation pattern command for display of the second special symbol and receives the special pattern corresponding to the third symbol display device 81 with the variation pattern of the second special symbol indicated by the variation pattern command for display. Display control of the variation display effect is started so that the variation display of the symbol is performed.

  Here, when the display control device 114 receives the variation pattern command for display of the second special symbol, the right display area Dm2 of the third symbol display device 81 has a variation display mode indicated by the received variation pattern command for display. The second special symbol (third symbol) is variably displayed (dynamically displayed). With the setting of the variation pattern command for display of the first special symbol, the reserved ball of the special symbol corresponding to the set variation pattern command for display is consumed (that is, the variation corresponding to the retained ball of the second special symbol) When the display is set), the value of the second special symbol reserved ball number counter 223b2 is decremented by 1, and the hold data stored in the secondary rearrangement hold memory area 223k is stored in the previous hold area. It is shifted (S1609). More specifically, the reserved area 1 → the first special symbol or the second special symbol of the variable display data, the reserved area 2 → the reserved area 1, the reserved area 3 → the reserved area 2, the reserved area 4 → the reserved area 3, the reserved The data in each area is shifted, such as area 5 → hold area 4, hold area 6 → hold area 5, hold area 7 → hold area 6, hold area 8 → hold area 7.

  Accordingly, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is started using the second variation time storage area 223j (S1610).

  It is determined whether the first stop type selection flag 223d1 or the second stop type selection flag 223d2 is set to ON (S1611). If it is determined that the first stop type selection flag 223d1 and the second stop type selection flag 223d2 are not set to ON (that is, is OFF) (S1611: No), this process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the first stop type selection flag 223d1 or the second stop type selection flag 223d2 is on (S1611: Yes), if the first stop type selection flag 223d1 is on, If the first stop type selection flag 223d1 is set to off and the second stop type selection flag 223d2 is on, the second stop type selection flag 223d2 is set to off (S1612).

  In the process of S1509 of the command determination process (FIG. 36, S1414), the stop type extracted from the received first stop type command or second stop type command is set (S1613). If the set stop type is the stop type of the first special symbol, the display control device 114 is informed of the stop type (either 15R probability variation big hit, 15R normal big hit, 2R probability big hit) based on the stop type. A first stop type command for display is generated. In addition, when the set stop type is the stop type of the second special symbol, the display control device 114 is informed of the stop type (15R probability variation big hit, 15R normal big hit, 2R probability big hit per any Display second stop type command is generated (S1614). Note that the first or second stop type command notified from the main control device 110 notifies the jackpot type when the jackpot is reached, and is notified even when the determination result is out of place. . If the determination result is out, the stop type is not referred to and the out symbol is set.

  With this configuration, the sound lamp control device 113 can control the display control device 114 so that both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are variably displayed simultaneously.

  Also, a dedicated command for shifting from the main controller 110 by shifting the data in the secondary rearrangement storage area 223k based on the fact that the variation pattern of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set. It is not necessary to perform control to transmit, and the control load on the main controller 110 can be reduced.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 39, the temporary fluctuation stop process (S1412) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the temporary variation stop process (S1412). This temporary variation stop process (FIG. 39, S1412) is one process of the main process (S1400) (see FIG. 35) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113. As described above, in the temporary variation stop process (FIG. 39, S1412), one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol which is being subjected to variation display in the third symbol display device 81 is a big hit, and the variation display of the other is displayed. During the jackpot game, a process for temporarily stopping is executed.

  In the temporary change stop process (FIG. 39, S1412), first, it is determined whether or not the sub first change stop flag 223e is set to ON. If it is determined that the sub first variation stop flag 223e is set to on (S1701: Yes), the sub first variation stop flag 223e is set to off (S1702).

  A first temporary stop command for display is generated (S1703). The first temporary stop command for display is a command for controlling the display control device 114 so as to temporarily stop the variable display of the first special symbol being displayed in a variable manner on the third symbol display device 81. When the first temporary stop command for display is set, the display control device 114 causes the first special symbol (the left middle right main symbol) to be slightly shaken and displayed after stopping the fluctuation display of the first special symbol. Then, the player is notified that the variable display is stopped. Further, by displaying the characters “the first special symbol is temporarily stopped” in the left display area Dm1 of the third symbol display device 81, it is easier for the player to understand and the variable display is temporarily stopped. It is the structure which alert | reports.

  In this way, the player can recognize that the special symbol that was being displayed in a variable state has been temporarily stopped because of a jackpot, and the lottery that was being displayed in a variable state will disappear or become invalid. You can play games with peace of mind by preventing anxiety.

  Moreover, the display mode of the temporary stop is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment, and the configuration may be such that the first special symbol is erased from the left display area Dm and the temporary stop is informed only by characters. Of course, other configurations may be used.

  When the first temporary stop command for display is set, measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol measured in the first variation time storage area 223i is interrupted (temporarily stopped).

  With this configuration, the variation time of the first special symbol can be managed accurately, and even when the variation display is resumed, the variation display can be accurately performed with the remaining variation time.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub first variation stop flag 223e is not set to ON (that is, it is OFF) (S1701: No), is the sub first variation stop flag 223f set to on? It is determined (S1705). If it is determined that the secondary change stop flag 223f is set to ON (S1705: Yes), the secondary change stop flag 223f is set to OFF (S1706), and the display second temporary stop command is displayed. Is generated (S1707). Similar to the first temporary stop command for display, the second temporary stop command for display controls the display control device 114 so as to temporarily stop the variable display of the second special symbol being displayed in the third symbol display device 81. It is a command to do. Similar to the first special symbol, the second special symbol is also temporarily stopped in the temporary stop display mode.

  When the display second temporary stop command is set, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol measured in the second variation time storage area 223j is interrupted (temporarily stopped).

  With this configuration, the variation time of the second special symbol can be accurately managed, and even when the variation display is resumed, the variation display can be accurately performed with the remaining variation time.

  It is determined whether or not the sub first variation restart flag 223g is set to ON (S1709). If it is determined that the sub first variation restart flag 223g is set to on (S1709: Yes), the sub first variation restart flag 223g is set to off (S1710).

  It is determined whether or not the measured variation time of the first special symbol stored in the first variation time storage area 223i is 3 s or less (S1711). When it is determined that the remaining variation time measured for the first special symbol stored in the first variation time storage area 223i is 3 s or less (S1711: Yes), the first short variation mode for display A resume command is set (S1712). When this display first short variation mode resumption command is set, it is output to the display control device 114. This display first short variation mode resumption command displays on the left display area Dm1 the display control device 114 with the characters “Display the variation display lottery temporarily stopped!” For the remaining variation time. Then, based on the confirmation command output from the main controller 110, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol indicating the lottery result. In addition, when the first special symbol is stopped and displayed, the character display changes to the characters “The lottery result of the variable display that was temporarily stopped has been displayed!” And continues to be displayed until the next change is started. .

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the measured variation time of the first special symbol stored in the sub first variation time storage area 223i is longer than 3 s (S1711: No), the display first normal variation mode is resumed. A command is set (S1713). When the display first normal variation mode restart command is set, it is output to the display control device 114. This display first normal variation mode resumption command displays the characters “Temporarily stopped variation display is changing!” In the left display area Dm1 for the remaining variation time, and displays all the first special symbols. The main symbol (3 symbols on the left, middle and right) is displayed in a variable manner for the remaining fluctuation time, and then the first special symbol is displayed with the symbol indicating the lottery result based on the confirmation command output from the main controller 110. Stop display. Next, measurement of the variation time in the sub first variation time storage area 223i is resumed (S1714).

  By configuring in this way, the main control device 110 can control the sound lamp without performing a process for instructing the remaining variation mode to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 in accordance with the remaining variation time. Since the device 113 determines the remaining fluctuation time and selects the remaining fluctuation mode, the control load on the main controller 110 can be reduced.

  Further, when the remaining fluctuation time is short, there is a problem that even if the continuation of the interrupted fluctuation mode is displayed, the player overlooks it or is too short to understand the notification result. However, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10, if the remaining time is within the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), the notification result is displayed after notifying the player that the lottery result is to be displayed immediately. Therefore, the player can recognize that the notification result that has been interrupted (temporarily stopped) is displayed.

  Furthermore, even after the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the character that informs that the interrupted variation display has been stopped is displayed, so the remaining variation time is very short (for example, within 1 s) In addition, the player can recognize that the interrupted variation display is effective and the determination result is stopped.

  In addition, even when the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), the player is notified that the notification result that has been interrupted (temporarily stopped) is being displayed in a variable manner. The person can easily recognize that the interrupted variation display is effective without disappearing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub first variation restart flag 223g is off (S1709: No), it is determined whether the sub second variation restart flag 223h is set to on (S1715). If it is determined that the secondary change restart flag 223h is set to ON (S1715: Yes), the secondary change restart flag 223g is set to OFF (S1716).

  It is determined whether or not the remaining variation time of the second special symbol stored in the second variation time storage area 223j is 3 s or less (S1717). When it is determined that the remaining variation time measured for the second special symbol stored in the second variation time storage area 223j is 3 s or less (S1717: Yes), the second short variation mode for display A resume command is set (S1718). When this display second short variation mode restart command is set, it is output to the display control device 114. This second short variation mode display command for display displays on the right side display area Dm2 the characters “display the variation display lottery result that was temporarily stopped!” On the display control device 114 for the remaining variation time. Then, based on the confirmation command output from the main controller 110, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol indicating the lottery result. In addition, when the second special symbol is stopped and displayed, the character display changes to the characters “The lottery result of the variable display that was temporarily stopped!” And continues to be displayed until the next change is started. .

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the measured variation time of the second special symbol stored in the second variation time storage area 223j is longer than 3 s (S1717: No), the second normal variation mode for display is resumed. A command is set (S1719). When the display second normal variation mode restart command is set, it is output to the display control device 114. This display second normal variation mode resumption command displays the characters “Temporarily stopped variation display is changing!” In the right display area Dm2 for the remaining variation time, and displays all the second special symbols. The main symbol (3 symbols on the left, middle and right) is displayed in a variable manner for the remaining fluctuation time, and then the second special symbol is displayed with the symbol indicating the lottery result based on the confirmation command output from the main controller 110. Stop display. Next, measurement of the variation time in the second variation time storage area 223j is resumed (S1720). On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary change restart flag 223h is off (S1715: No), this process is terminated.

  By configuring in this way, the main control device 110 can control the sound lamp without performing a process for instructing the remaining variation mode to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 in accordance with the remaining variation time. Since the device 113 determines the remaining fluctuation time and selects the remaining fluctuation mode, the control load on the main controller 110 can be reduced.

  Further, when the remaining fluctuation time is short, there is a problem that even if the continuation of the interrupted fluctuation mode is displayed, the player overlooks it or is too short to understand the notification result. However, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10, if the remaining time is within the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), the notification result is displayed after notifying the player that the lottery result is to be displayed immediately. Therefore, the player can recognize that the notification result that has been interrupted (temporarily stopped) is displayed.

  Furthermore, even after the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the character that informs that the interrupted variation display has been stopped is displayed, so the remaining variation time is very short (for example, within 1 s) In addition, the player can recognize that the interrupted variation display is effective and the determination result is stopped.

  In addition, even when the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the reference time (3 s in this embodiment), the player is notified that the notification result that has been interrupted (temporarily stopped) is being displayed in a variable manner. The person can easily recognize that the interrupted variation display is effective without disappearing.

  In the present embodiment, when the suspended display of the suspended first special symbol or second special symbol is resumed, the player is informed to that effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, it may be configured to notify by a lamp or the like. In addition, the suspended change, such as a display mode (for example, displayed by an animation notifying that the character or the like has resumed the suspended display) that the player has resumed. Naturally, the notification may be made in a display mode dedicated to resuming the display. By doing in this way, the player can correctly recognize that the interrupted variation display has been resumed.

  In the present embodiment, the sound lamp control device 113 is configured to select a variation pattern in accordance with the remaining variation time. Not limited to this, when the main controller 110 resumes the temporarily stopped fluctuation table, the fluctuation pattern of the same fluctuation time or a fluctuation time slightly shorter than the remaining fluctuation time is caused by the remaining fluctuation time. You may comprise so that a fluctuation pattern may be selected. When a variation pattern with a slightly shorter variation time is selected, the audio lamp control device 113 performs control so that the difference between the remaining variation time and the variation pattern with a slightly shorter variation time is delayed and displayed in the variation table. The variation table of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in accordance with the remaining variation time can be performed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 40, the hold rearrangement process (S1413) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the hold rearrangement processing (S1413). This hold rearrangement process (FIG. 40, S1413) is one process of the main process (S1400) (see FIG. 35) executed by the MPU 221 in the audio lamp control device 113. As described above, the hold rearrangement process (FIG. 40, S1413) is the hold symbols displayed on the third symbol display device 81 in the order in which the hold is established when the player operates the frame button 22 during the effective period. A process of setting the display so as to be rearranged in the variable display start order is executed.

  In the pending rearrangement process (FIG. 40, S1413), first, it is determined whether it is a rearrangeable period (S1801). During the rearrangement possible period, game states other than those during the jackpot game or the state where there is no hold established at different start ports 63a, 63b (the state where there is no hold of one or more of the first special symbol and the second special symbol) are arranged. It is set to a replaceable period.

  When it is determined that the period is rearrangeable (S1801: Yes), a display button operation display command is generated (S1802). Upon receiving this display button operation display command, the display control device 114 displays the characters “may be rearranged!” On the third symbol display device 81 and can press the frame button 22 to the player. Announce the period. The notification mode is not limited to this, and may be performed by voice or the like, or may be configured to control to turn on a dedicated lamp or the like.

  Further, in this embodiment, by providing a rearrangeable period, the player can easily recognize the timing at which the rearrangement operation can be performed, and can operate the frame switch 22 at an appropriate timing. it can. In addition, the rearrangeable period is not particularly provided, and the rearrangement display may be executed if the rearrangement is possible when the frame button 22 is pressed.

  It is determined whether the frame button 22 is operated (S1803). If it is determined that the frame button 22 has been operated (S1803: Yes), the reordering flag 223k7 for all the reserving areas in which the retentive data in the reordering reserving storage area 223k is stored is set to ON. (S1804).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the period is not rearrangeable (S1801: No), when it is determined that the frame button 22 is not operated (S1803: No), this process ends.

  With this configuration, when the player wants to rearrange, the rearrangement can be performed only on the reserved symbols displayed on the third symbol display device 81.

  The player can know the actual variation display start order, and can know in advance the special symbol to be noticed next (the special symbol from which variation display starts). Therefore, a game can be performed while assuming a display area to be viewed in advance, and the game can be performed smoothly.

  Further, in the configuration of this pachinko machine, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are configured by the sorting device 630 so that the game balls can be easily won in the first starting port 63a and the second starting port 64a alternately. As a result, games are played evenly and games can be played efficiently.

  In the pachinko machine 10, the arrangement of the reserved symbols is performed based on the player operating the frame button 22, but is not limited thereto, and is performed each time a new hold is stored. Of course, you may comprise. With this configuration, the player can always accurately recognize the change display start order based on the reserved symbols rearranged in the change start order.

  In the present embodiment, the rearrangeable period is other than during a jackpot game or a state in which there is no hold established at different start ports 63a and 63b (a state in which there is no hold of the first special symbol and the second special symbol each). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game state may be set as a rearrangeable period even during a jackpot game. Conversely, the rearrangeable period is a period during which a specific variable display mode is displayed. Other than the above, it may be determined as appropriate.

  When the jackpot game is set to the rearrangeable period, the rearrangement needs to be performed in consideration of the remaining fluctuation time of the fluctuation display temporarily stopped during the fluctuation display. Specifically, the variation start time is calculated based on the determined variation time (variation display mode) of the first special symbol or the second special symbol held and the remaining variation time during the temporary stop. Thus, the rearrangement order is determined, and rearrangement is performed based on the rearrangement order. By configuring in this way, even if a new hold display mode is displayed during the jackpot game, the hold display mode and the display mode that has already been displayed before the hold display mode is displayed are combined. By rearranging in the correct change start order, the correct change start order can be notified to the player even in the jackpot gaming machine.

  In the present embodiment, the rearrangement hold storage area 203u of the main control device 110 and the secondary rearrangement hold storage area 223k of the audio lamp control device 113 are configured to store data that are rearranged. Not limited to this, the main control device 110 is configured to notify the sound lamp control device 113 of various data (win / fail judgment result, jackpot type, variation pattern type, etc.) necessary for the rearrangement by a winning command, The rearrangement may be performed only by the audio lamp control device 113.

  By configuring in this way, the main controller 110 backs up various data necessary for rearrangement to the RAM 203 even in the event of a power failure, and in the startup process (FIG. 32) at the time of power recovery, the various data By outputting the data to the sound lamp control device 113, the sound lamp control device 113 can easily return from the power-off by performing the rearrangement based on the various data.

  In this embodiment, the first special symbol or the first special symbol that has been subjected to the suspension is determined based on the remaining variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol that is starting the variation and the variation pattern type of the data stored in the rearrangement suspension storage area 203u. 2 The variation start time of the special symbol was calculated to calculate the variation start order. Not only that, but at the time of winning a game ball, by determining whether or not it is a variation mode that will reach, information (time information) whether or not it is a variation mode longer than a certain time is determined, and the time information and changing The variation start order may be roughly determined and rearranged from the remaining variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. By configuring in this way, at the time of winning a prize, it is determined whether or not it is a variation mode that will be reached (whether it is a long-term variation mode or a short-term variation mode), and the exact variation time (variation mode) is Even with the pachinko machine 10 determined based on information such as the number of reserved balls at the start of change, the player can be notified of the rough start order of change.

  Therefore, the player may not be in the exact change start order, but the fact that the rearrangement has been performed is included in the long-term change mode (the change mode that becomes reach) is held. , You can play games with the expectation of jackpot.

  Hereinafter, in addition to the slot machine and the gaming machine of the present invention, concepts of various inventions included in the above-described embodiments are shown.

  Based on the establishment of the first winning / failing determination condition, whether or not to determine whether or not the first lottery game is successful, and determining whether or not to determine whether or not the second lottery game is successful based on the establishment of the second winning / failing determination condition, The first identification information indicating the first lottery determination result of the first lottery game by the means is dynamically displayed in the order in which the first winning / failure determination condition is satisfied, and the second lottery game by the winner determination unit The second identification information indicating the determination result is dynamically displayed in the order in which the second determination condition is satisfied, and the second identification information is displayed on the first display means. The display control means capable of dynamically displaying information on the second display means respectively, and the result of the success / failure determination by the success / failure determination means, and the display control means applies the first or second display means to the first or second display means. First or second identification In a gaming machine having a bonus game executing means for granting a bonus game that is advantageous to the player when the information is stopped and displayed in a display mode indicating a win, based on the establishment of the first success / failure determination condition Determining a dynamic display mode related to the time information of the first identification information corresponding to the established determination result, and determining the second identification information corresponding to the established determination condition based on the establishment of the second determination unit Dynamic display mode determining means for determining a dynamic display mode related to the time information and the first or second identification corresponding to the established determination condition when the first or second determination result is satisfied The dynamic display mode determined by the dynamic display mode determination means and the order of establishment of the pass / fail determination conditions, which is the combination of the first pass / fail determination condition and the second pass / fail determination condition, until the dynamic display of information is started. Information and While distinguishing the hold information of the hold information storage means for storing at least the hold information and the hold information of the first success / failure determination condition and the second success / failure determination condition stored in the hold information storage means, the first hold information for each hold information The hold display means that displays the order of establishment of the success / failure determination condition combining the failure determination condition and the second success / failure determination condition in an identifiable hold display mode, and the first or second failure determination condition is satisfied. When new hold information is stored, based on the remaining dynamic display time of the first or second identification information being dynamically displayed and the dynamic display mode for each hold information stored in advance. Dynamic display start time information determining means for determining time information until the first or second identification information corresponding to the new hold information becomes dynamic display start, and storing it in the hold information storage means; Predetermined conditions are met In response to the dynamic display start time information determination unit, the dynamic display start time information stored in the hold information storage unit is displayed on the hold display unit based on the dynamic display start time information. And a rearrangement means for rearranging in the order of starting the game machine A1.

  According to the gaming machine A1, the success / failure determination of the first lottery game is executed by the success / failure determination means based on the establishment of the first winning / failure determination condition. In addition, based on the establishment of the second winning / failing determination condition, whether or not the second lottery game is successful is executed by the winning / failing determination means. The first display means performs dynamic display of the first identification information indicating whether the first lottery game is successful or not by the success / failure determination means in the order in which the first success / failure determination condition is satisfied. Moreover, the dynamic display of the 2nd identification information which shows the success determination result of the 2nd lottery game by a success / failure determination means is performed by a 2nd display means in order with which the 2nd success / failure determination conditions were satisfied. Here, the first identification information is the first display means, the second identification information is the second display means, and can be dynamically displayed by the display control control means. Then, when the result of the determination of success / failure by the success / failure determination means becomes a win and the first or second identification information is stopped and displayed in the display mode indicating the win by the display control means, the bonus game that is advantageous to the player is executed. Executed by means. Accordingly, the second identification information can be dynamically displayed even when the first identification information is dynamically displayed, and the first lottery game and the second lottery game can be efficiently executed. Based on the establishment of the first success / failure determination condition, the dynamic display aspect determination unit determines the dynamic display aspect related to the time information of the first identification information corresponding to the established failure determination condition. Further, based on the establishment of the second success / failure determination condition, the dynamic display aspect determination unit determines the dynamic display aspect related to the time information of the second identification information corresponding to the established determination result. When the first or second success / failure determination condition is satisfied, until the first or second identification information corresponding to the satisfied / failure determination condition is started to be dynamically displayed, The hold information storage means stores at least hold information including at least the information regarding the dynamic display mode determined by the dynamic display mode determination means determined by the order of establishment of the success / failure determination conditions combined with the two hit determination conditions. The success / failure of the first success / failure determination condition and the second success / failure determination condition for each hold information while distinguishing the retention information of the first success / failure determination condition and the second success / failure determination condition stored in the hold information storage means. The order in which the determination conditions are satisfied is performed by the hold display means as a display of the identifiable hold display mode. When the first or second determination result is established and new hold information is stored, the remaining dynamic display time of the first or second identification information being dynamically displayed is stored first. Based on the dynamic display mode for each hold information, the time information until the first or second identification information corresponding to the new hold information starts the dynamic display is determined by the dynamic display start time information determining means. And stored in the hold information storage means. Then, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the hold displayed on the hold display means based on each dynamic display start time information stored in the hold information storage means by the dynamic display start time determining means The display modes are rearranged by the rearranging means in the order of starting the dynamic display. Thereby, for example, the hold information of the second lottery game is newly stored in a state where the hold information of the first lottery game is stored in advance. At this time, if the remaining dynamic display time of the first identification information during dynamic display is longer than the remaining dynamic display time of the second identification information during dynamic display, the newly stored second lottery game The start time of the dynamic display of the second identification information corresponding to the hold information of the first is greater than the start time of the dynamic display of the first identification information corresponding to the hold information of the first lottery game stored earlier. Get faster. However, since the hold display mode is sequentially displayed in the hold display mode indicating the order in which the success / failure determination condition, which is the combination of the first / failure determination condition and the second success / failure determination condition, is established, the first lottery stored previously is stored. In the hold display mode indicating the order after the game hold information, the newly stored hold display mode of the second lottery game is displayed. Then, the actual dynamic display start order may be different from the establishment order of the success / failure determination conditions. However, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the actual dynamic display is performed by the rearranging means. Sorted by start order and displayed. Therefore, even when the first identification information or the second identification information starts to be dynamically displayed in an order different from the order in which the actual success / failure determination conditions are satisfied, the player can perform the dynamic display start order by the rearranging means. Since the hold display mode is rearranged, confusion of the player can be suppressed.
