Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  The most popular pachinko game machine is called “special symbol (main game symbol)” on the 7-segment display, etc., when the game ball enters the starter (start chucker). When the symbol is displayed in a variable manner and the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the special gaming state in which the player is in a profit state higher than the normal gaming state {the big winning opening (normally closed) ( This is a model called “Digipachi” (conventional “first-class game machine”) of a type that shifts to a game of contents that the attacker) releases under a predetermined condition}. Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of special symbols that are directly linked to the interests of the player, in addition to the aforementioned “special symbols”, it is referred to as “decorative symbols” for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game. The symbol to be displayed is variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. And when the change of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also starts to change accordingly, and when the special symbol stops in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol also changes to the predetermined mode (for example, “777”). Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game has been confirmed because the decorative symbol has stopped in a predetermined manner.

Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, holding pre-reading production is one of them, and the technique of checking in advance the contents of a holding ball (permitted random number value) for which design change permission has not yet been granted, and giving a notice or suggestion of a jackpot It is.

Form to carry out

  Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described. The meaning of each term is not particularly limited, but will be described by way of example for ease of understanding. First, the “easy to win” state refers to a state in which game balls can flow in and a state in which it is easier to flow in as compared to a non-winning state. It refers to a state where it is difficult for a game ball to flow in as compared to an easy winning state. Here, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), the open state = easy-to-win state and the closed state = non-easy-to-win state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following conditions, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo random number in addition to a narrow random number (for example, a hard random number Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. And light emission of a light emitting means (for example, a lamp) (including not only the presence / absence of light emission but also a difference in color).

  The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 complex machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is applicable to other game machines (for example, conventional 1st type, 2nd type, 3rd type, general pachinko game machines such as general electric roles). .

In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination means 1172 refers to the special game content reference table 1172a based on various parameters (see FIG. 14), thereby storing the content of the special game as special game related information temporary storage means. Set to 1194. Next, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage unit 1191b, and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the main game side temporary game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 1514, the specific game control means 1180 clears (zero clears) the counter value of the main game probability variation counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1516. If step 1510 is No, the process proceeds to step 1516.

  Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage unit 1191b and determines whether or not the main game short time flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game control means 1180 accesses the flag area of the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b and turns off the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1519, the specific game control means 1180 accesses the flag area of the auxiliary game side temporary game state storage means 1192b and turns off the auxiliary game short time flag. Next, in step 1520, the specific game control means 1180 clears (zero clears) the main game short time counter 1181b, and proceeds to step 1528. If the answer is No in step 1516, the process proceeds to step 1520. In step 1528, the condition determination unit 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). Even in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game start display instruction information) instructing the start display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1626 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when it is just before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game control means 1170 stores the release pattern ( For example, an open pattern that keeps opening and a pattern that opens and closes are set. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and confirms which of the first grand prize winning port 2120 or the second grand prize winning port 2220 is to be opened. The first grand prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port 2220 is driven by driving the first grand prize port electric role 2122 or the second big prize port electric role 2222, and the first big prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port. 2220 is released and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the round execution timer 1174a (particularly, the opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630. In the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game execution means 1173 resets the round execution timer 1174a. Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the round is the final round. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game end display instruction information) for instructing the end display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side. In step 9000, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (10 in this example) to the counter value of the main game probability variation counter 1181a. Next, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game probability change flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9006, the specific game control means 1180 uses the game state information (particularly the main game probability change flag state) temporarily stored in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area). refer. Next, in step 9010, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the current big hit is a big hit in the probability variation gaming state based on the referenced gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 9010, in step 9012, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (100 in this example) to the counter value of the main game short time counter 1181 b, and proceeds to step 9020. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9010, in step 9014, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (10 in this example) to the counter value of the main game short-time counter 1181b, and proceeds to step 9020. Next, in step 9020, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game short time flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9022, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag in the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart 5000 showing a flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 5200, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display control process to be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second sub game display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second sub game display control processes described later. Next, in Step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process described later, and repeats the process of returning to Step 5200. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the hold information management / hold display control process according to the subroutine of Step 5200 in FIG. First, in step 5202, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a, and determines whether or not new hold information is received from the main control device 1000 side. If Yes in step 5202, in step 5204, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b adds (increments) 1 to the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. In this example, the holding upper limit on the first main game side + the holding upper limit on the second main game side is set as the upper limit value of the drawing holding counter value Ch. Next, in step 5206, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b temporarily stores the winning order and the main game side random number related to the hold information received from the main control device 1000 side in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Store, and go to step 5230. In addition, in this embodiment, although it is comprised so that the main game side random number may be directly transmitted from the main controller 1000 side, it is not limited to this. In that case, main game symbol information derived from the main control device 1000 side based on the main game side random number (derived in advance before the symbol change) (pre-determined result of the main game symbol determined in advance, stop symbol, (Variation mode etc.) may be transmitted. Then, in step 5230, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b displays the same number of hold displays as the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1 (for example, the maximum on the drawing hold display unit 2312). 8 pending display images can be displayed), and the process proceeds to the next process {first sub game display content determination process in step 6100 (1)}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5202, in step 5220, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main information temporary storage unit 2321a, and receives new symbol information (in other words, symbol from the main controller 1000 side). It is determined whether or not a change is started. In the case of Yes in step 5220, in step 5222, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Next, in step 5224, the drawing hold information display control means 2322b deletes the main game-side random number related to the symbol variation from the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1, and the winning order related to the remaining hold information 1 is decremented. In step 5226, the effect control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the sub game content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 5230. In the case of No in step 5220, the process proceeds to the next process {first sub game display content determination process in step 6100 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of first and second subsidiary game display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 6100 in FIG. Here, the processing is common between step 6100 (1) related to the first sub game corresponding to the first main game side and step 6100 (2) related to the second sub game corresponding to the second main game side. Both will be explained together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 determines whether or not the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 turns off the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322 c. Next, in step 6106, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 receives the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side stored temporarily in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (particularly, the stop symbol of the main game symbol). The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined with reference to the stop symbol determination lottery table 2322a-1-2, and temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6110, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 receives the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (particularly, the variation mode of the main game symbol). Based on the above, with reference to the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1, the variation mode on the sub game side (sub side) is determined and temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c.

  Here, FIG. 20 (the secondary game table 1-1) is an example of the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1 (particularly, the secondary game side variation mode determination table). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the variation mode on the main game side (in this example, “A0 to A3” or “B0 to B3” is further subdivided according to the result of the success / failure). The one variation mode is determined by lottery from one or more variation mode candidates on the sub-game side. For example, when the variation mode on the main game side is “A2” or “B2” and the result is “losing”, the variation mode candidates on the secondary game side are “N reach 1 (losing)”, “N” Any one of “reach 2 (losing)” is determined at a ratio of selection probabilities “384/512” and “128/512”, respectively. Note that the type of variation and the selection probability on the secondary game side are merely examples, and are not limited to these.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 6112, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 determines the variation mode on the side of the auxiliary game determined (temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c). Referring to the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the display timing of the notice effect, and the notice effect type to be displayed are determined, and the effect display related information is temporarily stored. Temporarily store in the means 2322c.

  Here, FIG. 20 (sub game table 1-2) is an example of a drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1 (particularly, an effect pattern determination table). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the display timing of the notice effect, and the notice effect type to be displayed are uniquely determined based on the variation mode on the sub game side. It is configured. For example, when the variation mode on the secondary game side is “N reach 1 (losing)”, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol is the left column = “7 seconds”, the right column as the elapsed time from the start of symbol variation. = “8 seconds”, middle row = “29 seconds”, the decorative symbols of each row are configured to be stopped and displayed. In addition, the notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 1” is configured to start displaying at the timing of “5 seconds” as the elapsed time from the start of symbol variation. In addition, this example is an example to the last, and is not limited to this at all.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 6150, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 turns on the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and the next process {step 6200 The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display control process (1). In the case of No in step 6102, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display control process in step 6200 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the first and second subsidiary game display control processing according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since the process is common between step 6200 (1) related to the first sub game corresponding to the first main game side and step 6200 (2) related to the second sub game corresponding to the second main game side, Both will be explained together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the sub game content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and turns off the sub game content determination flag. Next, in step 6206, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 6208, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the drawing display unit 2311 on the effect display device 2310 based on the variation mode on the secondary game side temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Then, the decorative pattern change display is started. Next, in step 6210, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a starts the drawing variation time management timer 2322a-3, and proceeds to step 6212. Note that if the result is No in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212.

  Next, in step 6212, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6214, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the drawing variation time management timer 2322a-3 and determines whether or not the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6214, in step 6216, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the display row that has reached the temporary stop timing, and the process proceeds to step 6218. In the case of No in step 6214, the process proceeds to step 6218.

  Next, in step 6218, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the drawing variation time management timer 2322a-3 and determines whether or not the display timing of the notice effect has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6218, in step 6220, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the notice effect image on the effect display device 2310 based on the notice effect type that has reached the display timing, and the process proceeds to step 6224. . If No in step 6218, the process proceeds to step 6224.

  Next, in step 6224, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of Yes in step 6224, in step 6226, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer 2322a-3. Next, in step 6228, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the decorative symbol in a fixed manner (displays the symbol image determined as the decorative symbol stop symbol). Next, in step 6230, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns off the symbol changing flag, and performs the next processing (special game display control in step 6300). Process). In the case of No in step 6212 or 6224, the process proceeds to the next process (a special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of a special game (during big hit) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and determines whether or not special game start display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6308, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit start display on the effect display device 2310, and proceeds to step 6310. Note that the display control means 2322 may be configured to display the number of consecutive big hits when performing the big hit start display on the effect display device 2310. Here, in this example, if the previous big hit is a big hit in the probability variation game as the number of consecutive big hits, the number is incremented by 1 while the previous big hit is in the non-stochastic variation gaming state. In this case, it is assumed that the number of times is reset (cleared to zero).

  Next, in step 6310, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit execution display on the effect display device 2310 and, based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side, determines the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes. Display sequentially. Next, in step 6500, the display control means 2322 executes a player selection type hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination control process which will be described later. Next, in step 6700, the display control means 2322 executes a player selection type hold pre-reading effect execution control process to be described later. Next, in step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not special game end display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200). Transition. If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in steps 6304 and 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of a player selection type hold prefetch effect execution availability determination control process according to the subroutine of step 6500 in FIG. First, in step 6502, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e (particularly the execution possibility determination means 2322e-1) determines whether or not the player selection type hold pre-reading effect execution possibility determination condition is satisfied. To do. Here, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect in the present embodiment refers to whether or not an effect related to whether or not a big hit is generated at the time of digestion of the hold after the end of the special game is executed during the special game (execution) "Availability" means an effect configured so that the player can select. In addition, various conditions can be set as conditions for determining whether or not to execute the player-selection-type hold prefetching effect. For example, “at the start of a predetermined round (for example, the final round)”, “a predetermined number (for example, four) ) If the above hold occurs "," If a new hold occurs after execution of the player-selected hold pre-reading effect "," If a lottery based on hold information is won (for example, hold within the hold) , Etc.) can be executed with a higher probability than in the case where it does not exist)), etc., and one of these conditions or a combination of a plurality of conditions You only have to set it. In the case of Yes in Step 6502, in Step 6504, the execution possibility determination means 2322e-1 notifies the player to perform a selection operation on whether or not to execute the player selection type hold pre-reading effect. Next, in step 6506, the execution possibility determination unit 2322e-1 determines whether or not the player has selected to execute the player selection type hold pre-reading effect based on the information transmitted from the sub input button 4000. To do. In the case of Yes in step 6506, in step 6508, the execution permission / inhibition determining unit 2322e-1 turns on the holding pre-reading effect determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and proceeds to step 6510. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6506, in step 6507, the execution possibility determination unit 2322e-1 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed after the notification in step 6504. In the case of Yes in step 6507, in step 6509, the execution permission / inhibition determining unit 2322e-1 turns off the holding pre-reading effect determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and proceeds to step 6510. If No in step 6502 or step 6507, the process proceeds to step 6510. Then, as will be described later, unless the on-hold pre-reading effect determination permission flag in the on-screen display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is turned on, the player-selected on-hold pre-reading effect is not executed.

  Next, in step 6510, the player selection type hold prefetch effect display control means 2322e determines whether or not the hold prefetch effect determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6510, in step 6512, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e is an effect type (hereinafter referred to as effect pattern, which may be referred to as an effect pattern hereinafter). The player is informed to perform a selection operation on any one of a plurality of effect contents “effect pattern 1” to “effect pattern 6”. Next, in step 6514, whether or not the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322 e has selected any effect pattern to be executed based on the information transmitted from the sub input button 4000. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 6514, in step 6516, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e turns off the hold pre-reading effect determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6518, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e temporarily stores the effect pattern selected by the player in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6520, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control unit 2322e turns on the hold pre-reading effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and performs the next process (player selection in step 6700). The process proceeds to the type hold pre-reading effect execution control process. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6514, in step 6522, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed after the notification in step 6512. In the case of Yes in step 6522, in step 6524, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e turns off the hold pre-reading effect determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6526, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e turns off the hold pre-reading effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and performs the next processing (player selection in step 6700). The process proceeds to the type hold pre-reading effect execution control process. In the case of No in step 6510 or step 6522, the process proceeds to the next process (player selection type hold pre-reading effect execution control process in step 6700). In addition, in this embodiment, although it is comprised so that one of several production content "production pattern 1"-"production pattern 6" may be performed based on the selection content of a player, it is not limited to this. In that case, based on the factors on the main game side (for example, jackpot symbol etc.) and / or the factors on the secondary game side (for example, the contents of the effect executed at the time of jackpot) at the time of transition to the special game, You may comprise so that any of effect pattern 1 "-" effect pattern 6 "may be determined.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the player selection type hold pre-reading effect execution control process according to the subroutine of step 6700 in FIG. First, in step 6702, the player selection type hold prefetch effect display control means 2322e determines whether or not the hold prefetch effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6702, in step 6704, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e turns off the hold pre-reading effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6706, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e turns on the hold pre-reading effect executing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6708, the player selection type hold prefetching effect display control means 2322e changes the effect pattern on the effect display device 2310 based on the effect pattern temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. The execution of the hold prefetch effect is started, and the process proceeds to step 6710. If NO in step 6702, the process proceeds to step 6710.

  Next, in step 6710, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control unit 2322e is temporarily stored in the hold pre-reading effect executing flag and the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Based on the effect pattern, it is determined which effect pattern is being executed, and different processing is executed according to the determination result. That is, if it is determined in step 6710 that the effect pattern 1 or 2 is being executed, in step 7000, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e provides a continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (direct notification) described later. The control process is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 6312). If it is determined in step 6710 that the effect pattern 3 is being executed, in step 7200, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e controls a continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (indirect notification) control process described later. Is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 6312). If it is determined in step 6710 that the effect pattern 4 or 5 is being executed, in step 7400, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e provides a continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (effect notification) to be described later. The control process is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 6312). If it is determined in step 6710 that the effect pattern 6 is being executed, in step 7600, the player selection type hold pre-reading effect display control means 2322e is a continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (effect suggestion) control process described later. Is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 6312). If it is determined in step 6710 that any effect pattern is not being executed (in other words, the hold-reading effect executing flag is off), the process proceeds to the next process (step 6312). Hereinafter, processing executed in these subroutines will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of a continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (direct notification) control process according to the subroutine of step 7000 in FIG. First, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (direct notification) in the present embodiment refers to a hold (or all hold) designated by a player during a special game, and during a hold digest after the special game. This means an effect of pre-determining whether or not a big hit will occur and clearly informing the player of the determination result. Hereinafter, an example of the control process related to the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (direct notification) will be described.

  First, in step 7002, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the effect pattern temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is “effect pattern 1”. . In the case of Yes in step 7002 (in the case of “effect pattern 1”), in step 7004, the continuous big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1. All the main game side random numbers are referred to, and the process proceeds to Step 7020. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7002 (in the case of “effect pattern 2”), in step 7010, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 selects and operates one of the holds at the present time. To the player (a plurality may be selected). Next, in step 7012, the continuous big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the selection operation is completed based on the information transmitted from the sub input button 4000. In the case of Yes in step 7012, in step 7014, the consecutive big hit expectation notification effect display control means 2322 e-2 refers only to the main game side random number related to the selected hold, and proceeds to step 7020. If No in step 7012, the process returns to the subroutine caller.

  Next, in step 7020, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d refers to the main game content prior determination reference table 2322d-1 based on the referenced main game side random number, and determines in advance the result of the main game symbol. And temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. Here, regarding the hold during the special game, when the game state at the time of digestion of the hold is ensured to be a probability variation game state (as in this example, the special game regardless of the jackpot symbol) (If it is configured so that the upper limit of the number of holds <the number of continuations of the probability-variable gaming state), it is assumed that the probability-variable gaming state is assumed at the time of the prior determination. What is necessary is just to judge. However, regarding the hold during the special game, when the game state at the time of digestion of the hold is not guaranteed to be the probability change game state (for example, the probability change game after the special game according to the jackpot symbol) It is supplemented that it is necessary to pre-determine the gaming state at the time of the on-hold digestion in the case of the pre-determination in the case where the case of transition to the state and the case of non-transition are mixed.

  Next, in step 7022, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether the big hit is based on the pre-determination result related to the main game symbol temporarily stored in the pre-determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2. It is determined whether there is a hold (per hold). In the case of Yes in Step 7022, in Step 7024, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 notifies that a big hit is generated at the time of the on-hold digestion after the special game, and proceeds to Step 7030. Here, when notifying that the big hit is generated, for example, a message is displayed on the effect display device 2310 (for example, a message display of “a continuous big hit within the hold!”) Or a specific lamp It is desirable that the player can be clearly notified by lighting (for example, a lamp that is determined to be a big hit if it is lit). On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 7022, in Step 7026, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 notifies that no big hit occurs at the time of the on-hold digestion after the special game, and proceeds to Step 7030. . Here, when notifying that the big hit does not occur, for example, a message is displayed on the effect display device 2310 (for example, a message “No continuous big hit within hold!”) Or a specific lamp It is desirable that the player can be clearly informed by turning off a lamp (for example, a lamp that is determined to be a big hit if it is turned off). Then, in step 7030, the continuous big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 turns off the pending pre-reading effect executing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and returns to the caller of the subroutine.

  In step 7024, when notifying that a big hit will be generated at the time of the on-hold digestion after the special game, it is also possible to notify which of the on-hold holds (the on-hold digest order). In addition, when there are a plurality of holdings that are big hits, the plurality of holdings and the reservation order may be notified together. Furthermore, it is configured so as to vaguely notify that a jackpot will be generated at the time of digestion on hold after a special game (for example, configured to display a message “Expectation of occurrence of consecutive jackpot within hold = 50%”). In such a case, it is desirable to set the degree of expectation to be higher when there is a big hit hold than when it does not exist.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the process of controlling the expected success level notification effect (indirect notification) according to the subroutine of step 7200 in FIG. First, in the present embodiment, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (indirect notification) refers to a position where a hit hold exists from the hold specified by the player among the hold during the special game. This means an effect to be notified. Hereinafter, an example of a control process related to continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (indirect notification) will be described.

  First, in step 7202, the continuous big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 notifies the player to select and operate any one of the holds at the present time. Next, in Step 7204, the continuous big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the selection operation is completed based on the information transmitted from the sub input button 4000. In the case of Yes in step 7204, in step 7206, the hold prefetch control means 2322d is based on the main game side random number relating to the hold with the winning order earlier than the selected hold, and the reference table 2322d-1 for determining the main game content in advance. Referring to FIG. 5, the determination result of the main game symbol is preliminarily determined and temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. Next, in step 7208, the consecutive jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether the big hit is based on the pre-determination result related to the main game symbol temporarily stored in the pre-determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2. It is determined whether there is a hold. In the case of Yes in step 7208, in step 7210, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 is likely to have a jackpot before the selected hold is digested after the special game. Is transferred to step 7214. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7208, in step 7212, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 may cause a big hit before the selected hold is digested after the special game. The fact that it is low is notified, and the process proceeds to step 7214. Next, in step 7214, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d refers to the main game content prior determination reference table 2322d-1 based on the main game side random number related to the hold whose winning order is later than the selected hold. The determination result of the main game symbol is pre-determined and temporarily stored in the pre-determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. Next, in step 7216, the consecutive jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether the big hit is based on the prior determination result related to the main game symbol temporarily stored in the prior determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2. It is determined whether there is a hold. In the case of Yes in Step 7216, in Step 7218, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 indicates that there is a high possibility that a jackpot will occur after the selected hold is digested after the special game. Information is sent to step 7222. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7216, in step 7220, it is unlikely that the consecutive jackpot expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 will generate a jackpot after the selected hold is digested after the special game. The effect is notified, and the process proceeds to step 7222. In step 7222, the consecutive big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 turns off the pending pre-reading effect executing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and returns to the caller of the subroutine. If No in step 7204, the process returns to the subroutine caller. In this example, no notification is executed regarding the hold specified by the player. However, the notification is not limited to this, and the hold specified by the player in step 7206 or step 7214 is not limited thereto. The notification process may be executed in a form that also includes.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the process of controlling the expected success level notification effect (effect notification) according to the subroutine of step 7400 in FIG. First, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (effect notification) in the present embodiment refers to a hold (or all hold) designated by a player during a special game, and during a hold digest after the special game. This means an effect of informing the player of the game result on the secondary game side after predetermining the game result on the secondary game side. Hereinafter, an example of the control process related to the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (effect notification) will be described.

  First, in step 7402, the consecutive big hit expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 notifies the player to select and operate one of the holdings at the present time (even if configured so that a plurality can be selected. Good). Next, in step 7404, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the selection operation has been completed based on the information transmitted from the sub input button 4000. In the case of Yes in Step 7404, in Step 7406, the consecutive jackpot expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 refers to only the main game side random number related to the selected hold, and proceeds to Step 7408. If No in step 7404, the process returns to the caller of the subroutine.

  Next, in step 7408, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the effect pattern temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is “effect pattern 4”. To do. In the case of Yes in step 7408 (in the case of “effect pattern 4”), in step 7410, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d is based on the referenced main game side random number, and the main game content prior determination reference table 2322d-1. With reference to the above, the stop symbol of the main game symbol is pre-determined, and the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is pre-determined with reference to the stop symbol determination lottery table 2322a-1-2 based on the determination result, The preliminary determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2 is temporarily stored. Next, in step 7412, the consecutive big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 displays the stop symbol of the decorative design temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2 at a predetermined position on the effect display device 2310. (For example, a partial display area on the big hit execution screen that does not interfere with the visibility of the big hit execution screen, or a semi-transparent display such as by setting the transparency to 50%) , Step 7430 follows.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7408 (in the case of “effect pattern 5”), in step 7420, the hold prefetch control means 2322d is based on the referenced main game side random number, and a reference table 2322d for main game content prior determination. −1, the main game symbol determination result is preliminarily determined and temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. Next, in step 7422, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether the big hit is based on the prior determination result related to the main game symbol temporarily stored in the prior determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2. It is determined whether there is a hold. In the case of Yes in step 7422, in step 7424, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect display control means 2322e-2 displays the jackpot start screen (the same screen as the screen displayed in step 6308) at a predetermined position on the effect display device 2310. And the process proceeds to step 7430. Here, when the big hit start screen is displayed, the number of consecutive big hits may be displayed together. In that case, the number of consecutive big hits until the selected hold is reached is determined in advance, and the number of consecutive big hits is determined. May be added. In the case of No in step 7422, the process proceeds to step 7430. In step 7430, the consecutive big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 turns off the pending pre-reading effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and returns to the caller of the subroutine.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of a control process for controlling the expected success level notification effect (effect suggestion) according to the subroutine of step 7600 in FIG. First, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (directing suggestion) in the present embodiment refers to a hold (or all holds) designated by a player during a special game, and during a hold digest after the special game. This means an effect in which a part or all of the effect content is executed during the special game after the effect content is determined in advance. Hereinafter, an example of the control process related to the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (effect suggestion) will be described.

  First, in Step 7602, the consecutive jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 notifies the player to select and operate any one of the holdings at the current time (even if it is configured so that a plurality of selections can be made. Good). Next, in step 7604, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the selection operation is completed based on the information transmitted from the sub input button 4000. In the case of Yes in Step 7604, in Step 7606, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 refers to only the main game side random number related to the selected hold, and proceeds to Step 7608. If No in step 7604, the process returns to the caller of the subroutine.

  Next, in step 7608, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d refers to the main game content prior determination reference table 2322d-1 based on the referenced main game side random number, and determines whether or not the main game symbol is correct and the variation mode. Is preliminarily determined and temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. Next, in step 7610, the hold prefetch control means 2322d draws the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a- based on the result and variation state of the main game symbol temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. With reference to 1-1 (particularly, the variation mode determination table), the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined in advance, and temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. Next, in step 7612, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d draws the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1 based on the variation mode on the secondary game side temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. With reference to (especially the effect pattern determination table), the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the display timing of the notice effect, and the notice effect type to be displayed are determined in advance, and temporarily stored in the prior determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. To do.

  Next, in Step 7614, the consecutive big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines whether or not the “pre-reach effect display condition” is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 7614, in step 7616, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 displays the contents of the effect temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage means 2322d-2 (in this example, the auxiliary game side Based on the variation mode, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the display timing of the notice effect, and the notice effect type to be displayed), the effect display device 2310 displays the effect contents from the start of the change of the decorative symbol to the right column temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol. It is displayed at a predetermined position above (for example, it is displayed in a partial display area on the big hit execution screen that does not impair the visibility of the big hit execution screen), and the process proceeds to step 2620. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7614 (in this example, it is assumed that the “display condition for post-reach effect” is satisfied), in step 7618, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 determines the prior determination result. Based on the effect contents temporarily stored in the temporary storage means 2322d-2, the effect contents from the right row temporary stop timing to the middle row temporary stop timing of the decorative symbols are displayed at predetermined positions on the effect display device 2310, and step 2620 is performed. Migrate to In step 7620, the consecutive big hit expectation degree notification effect display control means 2322e-2 turns off the pending pre-reading effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and returns to the caller of the subroutine.

  In this example, when the “pre-reach effect display condition” is satisfied, the effect content from the start of the decorative symbol change to the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol is displayed. "Is satisfied, it is configured to display the production contents from the right row temporary stop timing to the middle row temporary stop timing of the decorative design, but it is only an example, and any content of the production content is displayed. May be changed as appropriate. In addition, the conditions for the “display condition for the pre-reach effect” and the “display condition for the post-reach effect” may be appropriately changed. For example, the content of the effect to be displayed by the player may be selected, Selection by lottery based on (for example, if it is a holding that is a big hit, satisfying the “display conditions for post-reach effects” with a higher probability than if it is a holding that is lost), etc. Can be mentioned. Furthermore, after all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped, if the effect of re-changing all the columns (for example, so-called promotion effect) is configured to be executable, the effect content of the promotion effect may be displayed. .

  In the case of the process as in this example, in the secondary game display control process (see step 6200 in FIG. 21) during the on-hold digestion after the special game, it is temporarily stored in the preliminary determination result temporary storage unit 2322d-2. It is desirable that the contents of the production be displayed. In other words, it is desirable that the content of the effect that is determined and displayed in advance during the special game is not different from the content of the effect at the time of the on-hold digestion after the special game. It is configured that the mode (variation time) does not differ between the prior determination time and the on-hold time (for example, a configuration in which a different variation mode of the main game symbol cannot be selected based on the number of holds). desirable.

(Function)
By configuring as described above, according to the player-selective hold prefetching effect in the present embodiment, an effect relating to whether or not a big hit is generated at the time of the on-hold digestion after the end of the special game, during the special game Whether or not to execute (executable) is configured so that the player can select, so whether or not you want to enjoy in the special game, whether or not the consecutive big hit will occur, or after the special game ends The player can select whether he / she wants to enjoy the performance at the time of the on-hold digestion. Therefore, when an effect related to whether or not a big hit is generated at the time of a reserved game after the end of the special game is executed during the special game, a big hit is generated at the time of the reserved game after the end of the special game. It is possible to provide an option for avoiding this to a player who does not like to be less entertaining at the time of the on-hold digestion after the end of the special game in the case of notifying .

  In addition, according to the player-selective hold prefetching effect in the present embodiment {particularly, the consecutive jackpot expectation notification effect (direct notification)}, only the hold designated by the player in the special game is held. It is configured to pre-determine whether or not a big hit will occur at the time of digestion on hold after a special game, and since it is configured to clearly notify the player of the determination result, special whether or not a consecutive big hit will occur The player can select for each hold whether he / she wants to enjoy the effect during the game or the effect at the time of the on-hold digestion after the end of the special game. Therefore, in addition to the above-described effects, the range of options provided to the player is further expanded, and it is possible for the player himself to elaborate and enhance the fun of the game.

  In addition, according to the player selection type hold pre-reading effect in the present embodiment {particularly, the consecutive jackpot expectation notification effect (indirect notification)}, among the holdings during the special game, starting from the holding specified by the player, Because it is configured to notify the player of the position where the hit hold exists, the process that the player thinks based on the notification content is born, and compared with the case where the presence or absence of the hit hold is clearly notified It is possible to further enhance the interest of the game.

  In addition, according to the player-selection-type hold prefetching effect in this embodiment {particularly, the consecutive jackpot expectation notification effect (effect notification)}, among the hold during the special game, the hold specified by the player (or all of them) With regard to (holding), the game result on the secondary game side at the time of the on-hold digestion after the special game is determined in advance, and the game result on the secondary game side is notified to the player. It is possible to provide a novel directing method in which the game result of the secondary game side at the time of the on-hold digestion after the end of the special game is displayed in advance during the special game. .

  In addition, according to the player-selective hold prefetching effect in the present embodiment {particularly, the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (effect suggestion)}, among the hold during the special game, the hold specified by the player (or all of them) With regard to (holding), since it is configured to notify in advance the content of the effect on the side of the secondary game at the time of digestion of the hold after the special game, the player thinks according to the notification content A process can be born, and it is possible to provide a novel production method in which the content of the production at the time of the on-hold digestion after the end of the special game is displayed in advance during the special game.

(Example of change)
The present embodiment is a so-called ST machine, and is configured to always shift to the probability variation gaming state after the special game regardless of the jackpot symbol, and the holding number upper limit <the number of times the probability variation gaming state is continued. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a case where, for example, a case where a transition to a probability variation gaming state and a case where a transition does not occur are mixed after a special game, depending on the jackpot symbol. Hereinafter, an example of such a case will be described as a modified example from the present embodiment, and only the modified points from the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  First, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. 16 in the modification of the present embodiment. First, in Step 9002 (Variation 1), the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the special game is a big hit (for example, a big hit with a “1A, 1B” symbol) that has a low profit for the player. In the case of Yes in Step 9002 (Modification 1), in Step 9004 (Modification 1), the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 65535) to the counter value of the main game probability variation counter 1181a. Next, in step 9006 (change 1), the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game probability change flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in Step 9008 (Variation 1), the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 65535) to the counter value of the main game short time counter 1181b. Next, in Step 9010 (Variation 1), the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game short time flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in Step 9012 (Variation 1), the specific game control means 1180 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag of the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in Step 5000). To do.

  In the case of a big hit that does not result in low profits for the player (in this example, a big hit other than “1A, 1B” symbols), the next big hit after the end of the special game. In the case of a big hit (in this example, a big hit with the “1A, 1B” symbol) that is low for the player, while it is almost certain that the gaming state advantageous to the player will continue until Then, after the special game is over, the game state is shifted to a disadvantageous state for the player. Note that “big hits that do not result in low profit” means, for example, that the game shifts to a time-saving game (or a relatively large number of time reductions) and the maximum number of rounds is relatively higher than “big hit that results in low profit”. It may be realized by changing to a large number of probabilistic game states or a combination thereof.

  Assuming such a gaming machine aspect, there is a problem in applying the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (direct notification) and the continuous jackpot expectation notification effect (effect notification) in this embodiment as they are. That is, how to notify when there is a low profit jackpot in the hold (or all hold) designated by the player among the hold in the special game (simple message display etc. In such a display method, the interest of the game is significantly reduced). Of course, it is possible to take measures against such a problem by configuring not to notify that the hold designated by the player is a low profit big hit. However, it is possible to avoid that the interest of the game is significantly reduced by devising the notification method. For example, during a special game related to a jackpot that does not result in low profits, when a lottery result of a hold designated by a player is notified, a highly interesting performance is executed. More specifically, for example, a so-called battle effect is executed, meaning that the battle wins = big hit that does not result in low profit, the battle loses = big hit that results in low profit, and the battle draws = loss. By configuring in this way, although it can be notified that the hold specified by the player is a low profit jackpot in the end, the interest of the game has increased in the process of battle production, It is possible to avoid being dissatisfied by the player.

  Further, even when such a gaming machine mode is assumed, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (indirect notification) and the continuous big hit expectation degree notification effect (effect suggestion) in the present embodiment can be applied as they are. Is possible. In particular, the continuous jackpot expectation degree notification effect (effect suggestion) can be smoothly applied to such a gaming machine aspect. More specifically, as shown in Step 7614 (Variation 1) of FIG. 30, low profit big hit is set as “display condition for pre-reach effect” (part of the case when it is not low profit big hit) In this case, it is desirable that the above-mentioned condition be satisfied. When configured in this way, only the displayed contents of the presentation do not provide a definite notification that the profit is a low profit big hit, so that it is possible to avoid that the interest of the game is significantly reduced. It is. It should be noted that the content of the effect to be displayed may be an effect that does not result in a definitive notification that the profit is a low profit jackpot. For example, the type of sub-game variation mode (non-reach, normal reach, super reach, etc.) or notice effect An example of displaying the type or the like can be given.
