Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs a jackpot determination using a right / fail determination right generated by winning at a start opening.

  As a conventional gaming machine of this type, a first start port and a second start port are separately provided, and a first right / fail judgment right generated by winning a prize to the first start port, It is known to make a jackpot winning / non-winning determination using the second winning / no-going determination right generated by winning at the start opening and to notify the determination result by a determination notification effect (for example, see Patent Document 1). .

JP 2007-175083 A (paragraphs [0106] to [0119], FIG. 2)

  However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, one right / wrong determination right is used with priority over the other right / left determination right. Specifically, for example, while the unused first right / left determination right remains, the use of the second right / left determination right is prohibited, and the determination notification effect using the second right / left determination right is performed. The player may be dissatisfied because of waiting for a long time.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of eliminating a player's dissatisfaction with a determination notification effect.

  The gaming machine according to the invention of claim 1 made to achieve the above object is provided in a game area where game balls flow down, and the first and second start ports through which the game balls can win, and in the game area Due to the winning of the game ball at the first start opening and the large winning opening which is provided and can be switched between an open state in which the game ball can be won and a closed state in which it is difficult to win, and is normally kept closed The first hit / no-go judgment right generated and the second hit / no-judgment right generated due to the winning of the game ball to the second starting port are respectively used to make a big hit / no-go judgment. A determination effect means for executing a first determination notification effect for notifying the determination result of the right and wrong determination right and a second determination notification effect for notifying the determination result of the second determination result. After hitting and notifying the effect, the jackpot play that opens the big prize opening And a jackpot game execution means for executing the jackpot game execution means, and the hit probability determination of the big hit game by the first hit determination right has a relatively high probability of hitting the game state after the jackpot game. On the other hand, there are included easy-acquisition acquisition big hits that can be put into a probabilistic state and difficult-acquisition acquisition big hits that can be put in a relatively low non-probable state, while The jackpot game execution means starts the jackpot game of the second right / fail judgment right even during execution of the first determination notification effect, and the determination effect means In addition, between the first success / failure determination rights and between the second success / failure determination rights, the determination / notification effect is executed when the success / failure determination rights are used in the order of occurrence when the game is not in a big hit game, and the use determination of waiting for use is made. Right On the other hand, regardless of whether the determination notification effect of the first or second right / left determination right is being executed, the determination notification effect of the other right / left determination right is executed, and further, When the big hit game of the second right / fail judgment right is started during the execution, the first judgment notification effect is executed in parallel with the big hit game, and the parallel execution time that is the parallel execution time is determined in advance. It is characterized in that it is configured to execute the first determination notification effect in addition to the end of the specified effect time of the first determination notification effect.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the specified effect which is performed before the execution of the big hit game by the hit in the case of the gaming machine according to claim 1 when the first right-and-left determination right held is included Basic remaining time calculation means that calculates the basic remaining time based on the sum of the times, and calculates the remaining basic time including the parallel execution time when the parallel execution time is added to the specified performance time. It has a feature in that it includes a remaining time effect executing means for performing a remaining time effect to display a decrease state of the remaining time.

  Here, the “big winning opening” means a winning opening that is opened and closed by a big hit game regardless of whether the opening width is large or not.

[Invention of Claim 1]
The gaming machine according to claim 1 uses the first right / fail judgment right generated by winning the first start opening and the second right determination right generated by winning the second start opening. Then, each jackpot determination is performed, and a determination notification effect for notifying the determination results is performed. At that time, the determination notification effect is executed between the first success / failure determination rights and the second success / failure determination rights using the success / failure determination rights in the order of occurrence, and the use determination right waiting for use is suspended. On the other hand, in the first right determination right and the second right determination right, whether or not the determination notification effect of the first or second right determination right is being executed (the determination symbol is variably displayed). Irrelevantly, the determination notification effect of the other right / fail determination right is started (variation display of the determination symbol is started). That is, since the determination notification effect based on the first success / failure determination right and the determination notification effect based on the second determination right / failure right can be performed in parallel, the player holds in the conventional gaming machine. It becomes possible to eliminate dissatisfaction with the determination notification effect.

  By the way, in the gaming machine of the present invention, in the case of the big hit determination by the first right determination right, it is possible to change the gaming state after the big hit game to a probability change state with a relatively high hit probability of the big hit determination. Both the easy acquisition big hit and the probability change difficult acquisition big hit that can be made into a relatively low non-probability state are included. Easy jackpot is included. For this reason, once the probability change state is reached, the player wants to win with the second right / fail judgment right, and that the first hit / right judgment right becomes a hit after the big hit game by the hit Since there is a risk of falling into an uncertain change state, it is not desired to hit with the first right / fail decision right. Thus, the player can be engulfed so that as many hits as possible for the second success / failure determination right are received before the winning of the big hit game is started after the notification of the first success / failure determination right is notified. At that time, during the specified production time of the first determination notification production, the probability variation state is easily secured, and during this time, it is possible to devote the player to the winning of the second right / fail judgment right. Become.

  Here, in the gaming machine of the present invention, when the big hit game is executed during the specified production time by the second right / no-go judgment right, the second determination notification effect is not executed during that time, so it is easy to ensure the probability variation state. The specified production time can be lost. On the other hand, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the big hit game with the second right / fail judgment right is started during the execution of the first judgment notification effect, the first determination notification effect is simultaneously executed in parallel with the big hit game. Since it is the structure which delays completion | finish of a determination alerting | reporting effect for the parallel execution time performed simultaneously with it, it becomes possible to supplement the time for which the 2nd determination alerting effect was not performed, and remaining time It is possible to bring up and down the notification effect.

The center winning portion 31 has a pocket structure similar to that of the general winning portion 18 and has a center start opening 31A that is always open on the upper surface, and game balls can be won one by one in the center start opening 31A. . Each time the center start opening 31A is won, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. In the lower flow area Rc, a plurality of obstacle nails are arranged in a row from the windmill 17 toward the center winning portion 31, and a part of the game ball that has flowed down the left flow area Ra by the obstacle nails line. However, it is comprised so that it may go to the center starting port 31A. In the present embodiment, about 5 to 6% of the game balls that have flowed down the left-side flow area Ra (5 to 6 balls when “left-handed game” is continued for one minute (100 balls)) is the center start port 31A. Is configured to win. In addition, the flow direction of the game ball that has flowed down the right flow region Rb is restricted by the obstacle nail, the display decorative frame 20, and the like so that it hardly wins the center start port 31A.

  A special start port 33A is provided on the right side of the center winning portion 31 in the lower flow area Rc. The special start port 33A is open toward the front surface (game area R) of the game board 11, and can be opened and closed by the start port door 33T. The start port 33T is pivotable back and forth around the lower end of the special start port 33A, and is always held in an upright position to close the special start port 33A. The start opening door 33T is tilted forward to open the special start opening 33A, and the game balls can be won one by one with the start opening door 33T as a guide. Each time a game ball wins the special start port 33A, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

<Regarding the right-flow region Rb>
A side winning portion 32 is provided at a lower position of the right flow region Rb. As shown in FIG. 3, the side winning portion 32 has a pocket structure similar to that of the general winning portion 18, has a side starting port 32A that is always open on the upper surface, and one game ball is placed in the side starting port 32A. You can win one by one. Each time the side start port 32A is won, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  A start gate 30 is disposed downstream of the side winning portion 32 in the right flow region Rb. The start gate 30 is arranged to be spaced diagonally to the lower right of the side winning portion 32 so that the game balls can pass through the inside vertically one by one.

  A second attacker port 35 </ b> A is provided on the downstream side of the start gate 30. The second attacker port 35A is located slightly to the left of the position just below the start gate 30 and slightly to the right from the position just below the side winning portion 32, so that a game ball that has passed through the start gate 30 can win a prize. It has become. Similarly to the special start port 33A, the second attacker port 35A is open toward the front surface (game area R) of the game board 11, and can be opened and closed by the attacker door 35T, and the attacker door 35T that has fallen to the front side. The game balls can be won one by one with the guidance (switching between the impossible or difficult state closed by the attacker door 35T and the possible or easy state where the attacker door 35T has fallen forward). The game ball that has won the second attacker port 35A is once discharged through the back side of the game board 11 into the large winning block 34 described below. In addition, a ball receiving wall 37 is provided on the right side of the second attacker port 35A, and the game ball received by the ball receiving wall 37 is delivered to the attacker door 35T that has fallen forward. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the side start port 32A is arranged directly below the entrance 61A to the first guide flow path 61, and most of the game balls that have fallen from the entrance 61A to the first guide flow path 61 are provided. The side start port 32A is awarded a prize.

  Of the first guide flow path 61, the first winning departure paths 63L and 63R are in communication between the entrance 61A and the side start port 32A. The first winning departure path 63L, 63R is a game ball or side start that has fallen obliquely downward from the entrance 61A of the first guide flow path 61 and the side start port 32A and deviated from the first guide flow path 61. A game ball bounced off at the opening edge of the mouth 32A is received and directed to the special starting port 33A. Here, the first winning departure path 63 </ b> R formed on the right side of the side winning portion 32 is provided adjacent to the second guiding flow path 62, and includes the second trunk flow path 52 and the second guiding flow path 62. Open to the junction between the lower ends. That is, the start gate 30 is disposed at a position where a game ball that has passed through any of the second trunk flow path 52, the second guide flow path 62, and the first winning departure path 63R can be won. On the other hand, the first winning departure path 63L formed on the left side of the side winning portion 32 is that the game ball does not pass through the start gate 30, and the second attacker port 35A and the downstream side thereof are fired. Guidance is made so that the distance from the flow down to the arrival reaches the special start port 33A disposed farther than the side start port 32A. Since the entrance 61A of the first guide flow path 61 is disposed immediately above the side start port 32A, the game ball that has entered the first guide flow path 61 does not win the side start port 32A without winning a prize. There is almost no deviation from the first winning departure path 63L, 63R, and it is extremely rare that the first winning departure path 63L, 63R is lost.

  Here, by providing the distribution member 53 and the slide plate 64 described above, about 2-3% of all the game balls that have flowed down the right-flow region Rb (“right-handed game” for 1 minute (100 balls) 2) When it continues, 2 to 3 balls) are configured to win the side start port 32A. That is, when comparing the side start port 32A and the center start port 31A, regardless of the gaming state (high probability state and low probability state), the side start port 32A wins the game ball more than the center start port 31A. It is difficult to configure.

<About opening and closing of the slide plate 64>
FIG. 72 shows a driving device 65 for the slide plate 64. The driving device 65 includes a driven arm 66 and a motor 67, which are connected by a cam mechanism. An upper end portion of the driven arm 66 is pivotally supported by a rotation axis J2 orthogonal to the game board 11, and a slide plate 64 is integrally provided at a position near the lower end of the driven arm 66. In addition, a coil spring 68 is connected to the lower end of the driven arm 66, and the coil spring 68 urges to the origin position (position shown in FIG. 72A) where the driven arm 66 is brought into contact with the stopper 69. Yes. At the origin position, the slide plate 64 is in an advantageous closed state (the state shown in FIG. 7).

  The driven arm 66 is provided with a driven cam 66 </ b> A, and the main drive cam 67 </ b> A is gear-coupled to the output rotation shaft 67 </ b> J of the motor 67. The main driving cam 67A has a configuration in which a cam projection 67T protrudes from a cylindrical surface. In the process in which the driven cam 66A gets over the cam projection 67T, the driven arm 66 moves away from the origin position and the moving end away from the origin position. It is configured to reciprocate between positions (positions shown in FIG. 72B). When the driven arm 66 is at the moving end position, the slide plate 64 is in a disadvantageous open state (the state shown in FIG. 6).

  That is, as shown in the change from FIG. 72A to FIG. 72B, the cam projection 67T of the main driving cam 67A presses the driven cam 66A to move the driven arm 66 from the origin position to the moving end position. By moving, the slide plate 64 changes from the advantageous closed state to the disadvantageous open state, and the driven cam 66A gets over the cam protrusion 67T as shown in the change from FIG. 72 (B) to FIG. 72 (C). Thus, when the pressure is released, and when the pressure is released, the driven arm 66 is moved to the home position by the elastic force of the coil spring 68 increased by the movement to the moving end position, and the slide plate 64 is advantageously closed. Is configured to return.

<About right and wrong judgment rights>
When a game ball wins the start gate 30, the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A, a right / no-go determination right is generated, and a right / no-go determination using the right / left determination right is performed. These success / failure determination will be described below.

<About the right to judge small hits>
When the game ball passes through the starting gate 30, a “small hit / fail judgment right” is generated, and whether or not to perform the “small hit game” with the special start port 33A open using the small hit / fail judgment right. “Small hit / fail judgment” is performed. The determination result of the small hit / fail determination is notified by a small determination notification unit (not shown) provided in a part of the display decoration frame 20. The small determination notification unit notifies the determination result of the small hitting success / failure determination after performing the small hitting notification effect over a predetermined “small determination effect period”. In addition, when the game ball passes through the start gate 30 during the “small determination effect period”, the “small hit determination right” for that amount is reserved up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, a maximum of four). No more, “Small hit / fail judgment right” is not generated. Then, the “right hit determination right” that has been put on hold is used in the order of occurrence (old order).

<Regarding the first right / fail judgment right>
When a game ball wins in each of the center start port 31A and the side start port 32A, a first right / fail determination right is generated, and a big hit / fail determination is performed using the first right / left determination right. The result of the jackpot success / failure determination performed using the first right / failure determination right is notified by the first determination notification unit 15G (see FIG. 2) provided in the upper left part of the screen of the display 15, for example. The first determination notification unit 15G, for example, has three determination symbols that change in the range of 0 to 9 side by side, and when notifying the result of the big hit success / failure determination, the determination symbols fluctuate vertically. A notification effect of stopping display after displaying (for example, scrolling) is performed. Then, when the big win / fail determination is a win, the combination of the three determination symbols that are displayed in a stopped state becomes a hit symbol combination (for example, the number of 3 digits of the gutter) that means a win. It becomes an out-of-order symbol combination (for example, a three-digit number other than a glance) that means out-of-range. Further, while performing the determination notification effect based on the first right / fail determination right (variation display of the first determination notification unit 15G) and while performing a jackpot game described later, the center start port 31A, side start When a game ball wins in the mouth 32A, the first right / fail judgment right corresponding to that is held up to a predetermined upper limit number, for example, up to four, and the first right / fail judgment right is generated beyond that. do not do. Then, the first right / no-go determination right that is put on hold is used in the order of occurrence (the oldest order).

<About the second right and wrong judgment right>
When the game ball wins the special start port 33A, a second right / no-go judgment right is generated, and the big hit / no-go judgment is performed using the second right / no-go judgment right. The result of the big hit determination that is performed using the second right determination right is notified by the second determination notification unit 25 that is integrally provided in the lower right portion of the display decoration frame 20. In the 2nd determination alerting | reporting part 25, after performing a determination alerting | reporting effect, the result of a big hit determination is displayed. The 2nd determination alerting | reporting part 25 is the determination symbol comprised by several LED, and performs a determination alerting | reporting effect by blinking (fluctuation display) of LED. And, when the big hit success / failure determination is a win, all the LEDs are turned on after the determination notification effect, and in the case of being off, some or all of the LEDs are turned off after the determination notification effect. Become.

  When a game ball wins a special start opening 33A while performing a determination notification effect (flashing of LED) based on the second right / fail determination right and during a big hit game described later, The second right / fail judgment right is reserved up to a predetermined upper limit number, for example, a maximum of four, and the second right / fail judgment right is not generated beyond that. Then, the second right / no-go determination right that is put on hold is used in the order of occurrence (the oldest order). In addition, as described above, the determination notification effect is started using the determination result in the order of occurrence between the first determination result right and between the second determination result right, the first or second one The determination notification effect for the other right / left determination right is started regardless of whether the determination notification effect for the right / left determination right is being executed. Hereinafter, as appropriate, the determination notification effect based on the first determination result is referred to as a “first determination notification effect”, and the determination notification effect based on the second determination result is referred to as a “second determination notification effect”. "

<About the type of jackpot>
As shown in Table 1 below, there are two types of “hit / hit determination” using the first right determination right, “no bonus big hit” and “bonus with bonus”. There is only “Big Bonus with Bonus” in the “hit / no-hit determination” using the right. In other words, the probability of becoming a “hit with bonus” is 100% at the time of the second success / failure determination right (that is, the big win when winning the special start port 33A). On the other hand, the probability of becoming a “hit with bonus” at the first right / no-go decision right (that is, a big win when winning at the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A) is, for example, 1/5 (ie, 20 %), The probability of becoming “no bonus with big bonus” is set to 4/5 (that is, 80%).

  If any of the big hits shown in Table 1 is hit, a “big hit game” is executed to open the first or second attacker port 34A, 35A. The “big hit game” is composed of two rounds. In the first round, only the first attacker port 34A is opened, and in the second round, only the second attacker port 35A is opened. Further, the opening of the first and second attacker ports 34A, 35A has a predetermined opening period (for example, 15 seconds) as an upper limit, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) during the opening period. The ball will be closed as soon as the game ball wins. In addition, since it is necessary to make a right-hand hit in order to win a game ball in the first or second attacker port 34A, 35A by the above arrangement, for a player who wants more prize balls, "Right-handed game" is essential.

  During the second round, the attacker door 35T is operated in a preset manner and the second attacker port 35A is opened. In “Big Bonus with Bonus”, a game ball enters the second attacker port 35A (for example, repeating 1-second opening multiple times), while on the right, Even when a hit is made, it is normally set so that a game ball does not enter the second attacker port 35A (for example, release for one second is performed only once). In other words, during the big hit game of “no special bonus”, the setting is such that the game ball does not enter the V confirmation opening 36A substantially. Note that the movement of the entry restricting member 36B that opens and closes the V confirmation opening 36A is constant regardless of whether "bonus with bonus" or "bonus without bonus".

  Depending on whether or not the player has entered the V-determining port 36A during the big hit game, one or both of the “big hit determination probability” and the “small determination effect period length” after the big hit game are changed compared to the normal time. It is like that.

<About probability>
Regarding the “probability of determining whether or not the jackpot is hit”, there are two settings: a “high probability state” having a higher probability of winning than normal times and a “low probability state” as usual. Here, switching from the “low probability state” to the “high probability state” is called “probability change”, and the “high probability state” is called “probability change state”. In the following description, the “low probability state” will be referred to as a “non-probable variation state” as appropriate. In the present embodiment, the “decision probability to be a big hit” is set to 1/10 in the “high probability state” and 1/99 in the “low probability state”. Further, the “probability of determining a big hit” is the same for all of the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A, but as described above, the second hit determination right, that is, the special start port The win when winning 33A is 100% with a “bonus with bonus”, whereas the first right / no-win decision right, that is, when winning at the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A. Has a 1/5 chance of a “bonus with a bonus” and a 4/5 chance of a “bonus without a bonus”. 1/10 in the high probability state and 1/99 in the low probability state. On the other hand, if winning in the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A, it is 1/50 in the high probability state and in the low probability state. 1/495 I would say.

<About time reduction>
In the present embodiment, there are two settings: a “time-short state” where the “hit / hit determination” is performed more frequently than usual, and a “non-time-short state” as usual. Specifically, in the “normal state”, the execution times of the first and second determination notification effects are both set to 15 seconds to 180 seconds, for example, while in the “short time state”, For example, the execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to 30 seconds to 360 seconds, and the execution time of the second determination notification effect is set to 2 seconds, which is shorter than that in the “normal state”. Thus, for example, the number of “hit / hit determination” performed for 30 seconds is a maximum of 4 times in the “normal state” (2 times in the big-hit determination using the first and second success / failure determination rights). On the other hand, in the “short-time state”, the maximum is 16 times (once in the big-hit determination using the first right-and-left determination right, and 15 times in the big-hit determination using the second right-and-left determination right). In this case, the “hit / hit determination” is performed more frequently than the “non-time-short state”.

  Also, regarding the “small determination effect period”, a relatively short “small determination effect period for time reduction” (for example, 1 second) and a relatively long “small determination effect period for normal use” (for example, 10 seconds) There are two settings. In the short-time state, the execution frequency of the “small hit / fail determination” described above is higher than in the non-time-short state, and the frequency of “small hit” is also high. In addition, when a small hit is made in the short-time state, the opening time of the special start port 33A is set longer than when a small hit is made in the non-time-short state (for example, when a small hit is made in the short-time state) 2 seconds of opening for 2 seconds is repeated, and when a small hit is made in the non-short-time state, only 1-second opening is performed) Although no winning is made, if a right-handed game is played in a short time state, a large number of game balls are won at the special start opening 33A. In the present embodiment, the “probability of winning a small hit” is set to be higher in the “small hit determination” than in the non-short time state in the short-time state.

<Regarding whether or not there is a ball entering the V confirmation opening 36A>
Whether or not the “hit determination probability”, “the length of the first and second determination notification effect periods” and “the length of the small determination effect period (length of variation time)” is changed after the big hit game This is determined by whether or not a game ball has entered the V determination port 36A during the big hit game. Specifically, as shown in the above-mentioned Table 1, regardless of whether the right or wrong decision right is the first right decision right or the second right decision right, if the bonus hit with the bonus is made, If a game ball enters the V determination port 36A, after the big hit game, it becomes a “probability change state” and a “short time state” (hereinafter, referred to as “short time state with a certain change” as appropriate), and a game is made in the V determination port 36A. If the ball does not enter, it becomes a “short-time state” that is not a “probability change state” (hereinafter referred to as a “short-time state without probability change”). In addition, when a “big bonus without bonus” is reached, if a game ball enters the V-determining port 36A during the big hit game, a “probable change state” (hereinafter referred to as “short-time state”) that is not a “short-time state” after the big hit game. If the game ball does not enter the V confirmation opening 36A, the “normal state” which is neither “probability change state” nor “time reduction state” is obtained. These game states are determined regardless of whether the current state is the “normal state”, the “short state when there is a certain change”, the “short state when there is no certain change”, or the “non-short time certain change state”. However, the “short state when there is no certain change” only ends when the number of missed hits in the big hit determination performed before hitting the big hit is determined to reach the predetermined maximum number of big hit determinations To fall.

<About jackpot games>

  As shown in Table 2 above, the display on the display 15 during the big hit game is a big hit in which gaming state, which one of the first and second right / left determination right is the right / left determination right, In the case of a big hit by the second right / wrong determination right, it differs depending on whether or not the first determination notification unit 15G is changing. Specifically, in the jackpot game in the “normal state”, for example, a letter “V” is displayed on the display 15, and in the jackpot game in the “probability change state”, the letter “V” is not displayed. If the winning is determined by the first right / no-go judgment right in the “probable change state”, if the winning is “bonus with bonus”, for example, “probable change continuation” is displayed on the display 15 and “bonus without bonus” is displayed. If so, for example, a “probability change notification effect”, which is displayed as “probability change end”, is performed.

  In addition, if the winning is determined by the first right / wrong determination right in the “normal state”, the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is not displayed. Here, in the “normal state”, if the winning is determined by the second right / no-go determination right, if the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is not changing at the start of the big hit game (if it is a stop display), the first If the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is not displayed and the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is fluctuating as in the case of the big hit game with the right / no-judgment determination right, the change display of the first determination notification unit 15G Is continued. That is, when the big hit game is started during the fluctuation of the first determination notification unit 15G, the first determination notification unit 15G continuously displays the fluctuation together with the letter “V” (the measurement of the variation time as described later). Is not performed, but the same variation mode as the actual variation display is displayed in order to make it appear to the player that it is variably displayed). It can be recognized that there is, and it can be made difficult for the player to feel a sense of incongruity that the big hit game has suddenly started in the middle of the fluctuation of the first determination notification unit 15G.

  In the “probability change state”, the first determination notification is made in the case of a big hit game based on the first right / fail judgment right and a big hit game based on the second right / left determination right started when the first determination notification section 15G is stopped. The stop display of the unit 15G is continued, and in the case of a big hit game with the second right / wrong determination right started during the change of the first determination notification unit 15G, the change display of the first determination notification unit 15G is continued.

<How to choose between left-handed and right-handed games according to the game state>
As described above, during a big hit game with “bonus with bonus”, a game ball enters the V final opening 36A if the player makes a right-hand hit. Since the opening timing of the second attacker port 35A and the opening timing of the V confirmation port 36A are set so that the ball does not enter the ball substantially, the “big hit with benefit” is set to “big hit with bonus” If this is the case, except for very rare cases, it will be in the “short state when there is a probability change”, and if it is “a big hit without a bonus” in the “big hit success determination”, it will be in the “normal state” that is neither “probable change” nor “short time” . In the “normal state”, as described above, even if a right-handed game is performed, the special start port 33A is hardly won, and the center start port 31A is easier to win than the side start port 32A. Therefore, in order to start the game in the “normal state” and make “hit / hit determination” to obtain more prize balls, perform a left-handed game aiming for winning at the center starting port 31A. Is the preferred way to hit. As a result, it is preferable to perform a right-handed game in order to win the first attacker port 34A and the second attacker port 35A when a big-hit game is executed and a big-hit game is executed.

  In addition, when winning in the “normal state” at the center start opening 31A, if the winning is “no bonus with no privilege”, the “normal state” is continued. On the other hand, if it is a “big hit with a bonus”, winning the V determination port 36A will promote the player from the “normal state” to the “short state with certainty change” after the big hit game. In the “short state with certainty change”, it becomes easier to win the special starting port 33A this time, so it is preferable to continue the right-handed game. During the right-handed game in the “short state with certainty change”, if the winning is made at the special starting port 33A and the winning is always a “big hit with a bonus”, if the winning is made at the V confirmation opening 36A, the “probable changing” The “short state when there is” will be continued. However, when winning at the side start port 32A and hitting a win, the bonus hit with 4/5 of the probability becomes a “big bonus without bonus”, and the “short state with probability change” falls to the “normal state”. . In other words, when winning in the side start port 32A in the “short state with certainty change”, there is no risk of falling to the “normal state” if it is disengaged, but the risk of “falling” increases when hitting. In other words, when winning in the side start port 32A in “short state with certainty”, a Russian roulette game will be executed with the probability of “falling” to “normal state” with a probability of 4/5. become.

  As a result, the psychology of the player who is playing the right-handed game in the “short state with certainty” is awarded to the special start port 33A, but can be directed to hope that the side start port 32A will not win. . In addition to the excitement of aiming at the special start port 33A and the start gate 30 for opening the special start port 33A, the excitement of whether or not it will win the side start port 32A on the upstream side is held, Can enhance the taste.

<About the execution time of the judgment notification effect>
The execution time of the determination notification effect of whether or not the big hit determination is successful is set as follows according to the gaming state. For example, the execution time of the first and second determination notification effects in the “normal state” is set to 15 seconds to 180 seconds as described above. The execution time of the first and second determination notification effects in the “short time state” differs depending on whether the “short state without probability change” or the “short state with probability change”. That is, in the “short state when there is a certain change”, the execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to 30 seconds to 360 seconds, and the execution time of the second determination notification effect is shorter than that in the “normal state”. It is set to 2 seconds (in the above description of the “short time state”, the case of this “short state when there is a certain change” is taken as an example). On the other hand, in the “short state without probability change”, the execution time of the first and second determination notification effects is set to 4 seconds, which is shorter than that in the “normal state”. Also, as described above, between the first and second right / left determination right, the other determination notification effect is started regardless of whether the first or second determination notification effect is being executed. When the right-handed game is being performed in the “short state when there is a certain probability change”, for example, the second determination notification effect is generated a plurality of times during the execution time (30 seconds to 360 seconds) of one first determination notification effect. Is often executed (see FIG. 12B).

<About the relationship between the jackpot game and the judgment notification effect>
During the execution of the jackpot game based on the right or wrong determination right of one of the first or second, the determination notification effect based on the other right / fail determination right (effect by the first determination notification unit 15G or the second determination notification unit 25) Continued. That is, the first determination notification unit 15G or the second determination notification unit 25 continues to fluctuate. Then, after the jackpot game is over, the variable display is extended by the execution time of the jackpot game and then stopped. That is, the display of the determination result (prohibition display of the determination symbol) is postponed. Details will be described below.

  The execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to a predetermined first determination notification effect time (30 seconds to 360 seconds) from the beginning, and the variation display of the determination symbol is executed as the first determination notification effect. Then, the production execution time is counted, and the production execution time is reduced from the initial first determination notification production time. Here, when the big hit game is executed during the variation display of the determination symbol, the variation display of the determination symbol is continuously performed (the variation display that makes it appear that the variation display is continuously performed is performed. ) However, the production execution time count is interrupted. In other words, regardless of whether or not the big hit game is being executed, the first determination notification effect is executed (the change display of the determination symbol is executed), the effect execution time is counted, and the first determination is made. When the jackpot game is executed during the notification effect, the total execution time of the jackpot game is added after the initial first determination notification effect time, and the first determination notification effect time is equal to the execution time of the jackpot game. Only substantially extended. As a result, after the execution of the big hit game, the determination notification effect is extended from the initial production time by the execution time of the big hit game. According to this configuration, the success / failure determination result is not displayed during the execution of the jackpot game, and the player concentrates on the jackpot game without worrying about the outcome of the other determination notification effect. Can do. FIGS. 8 to 12 show the concept related to the interruption of the effect execution time count. 8 to 11, for convenience of explanation, the ratio of the execution time of the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right with respect to the execution time of the determination / notification effect of the first right / failure determination right is larger than the actual ratio. Yes.

  In addition, the determination notification effect according to the present embodiment continues the determination notification effect based on the other right / no-go determination right during execution of the big hit game based on either the first / second right / left determination right. Although it is configured to interrupt only the execution time count, it is not always necessary to have the same configuration as in the present embodiment, for example, when the performance execution time count is interrupted, the other determination notification effect is also interrupted at the same time, or Stop (turn off the displayed variable display mode or make a temporary stop state, etc.), resume the determination notification effect interrupted simultaneously with the resumption of the performance execution time, or execute a new determination notification effect You may comprise.

  Here, if the big hit game based on the second right / fail judgment right is started while performing the first judgment notification effect of losing, the first determination notification effect is extended by the execution time of the big hit game. Accordingly, the digestion of the first right / fail decision right that is held can be delayed. In particular, in the case of “short state when there is a certain change” and “hit” is included in the first right / fail judgment right held, the current “ There is a possibility that “short state with certain change” will “fall down” to “normal state”. Therefore, it is possible to delay the arrival of a pinch that can fall into the “normal state” by assigning a hit with the second right / fail judgment right in the “short state when there is a certain change”.

<About deduplication per hit>
As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, during the execution time of the determination notification effect based on the right / fail determination right (that is, the determination notification effect performed immediately before the big hit game) with which the determination result is a win, the other right / left determination right When the determination notification effect based on is started, the determination result of the determination notification effect based on the other right / fail determination right is always controlled to be forcibly removed (in this embodiment, the determination is not performed) Configured to be out of place). This prevents the occurrence of a situation in which the jackpot game with the other right / wrong determination right must be started while the big hit game based on the first / second right / wrong determination right is executed. Whether the first and second right / no-go judgments are used immediately after being generated or withheld, whether or not the first and second right / no-right judgment right is hit immediately after the occurrence is determined in advance. When the first right / fail judgment right that should be a hit is forcibly removed, the display 15 is notified of the hit cancellation.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the execution time of the determination notification effect related to the first success / failure determination right is shorter than the execution time of the determination notification effect related to the second right / failure determination right in the “short time state with certainty change”. Since the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right is started during the execution time of the determination notification effect that is the winning of the first right / failure determination right, Often, the right to judge is forcibly removed. On the other hand, during the execution time of the determination notification effect that is the winning of the second success / failure determination right, the first notification determination effect of the first determination / non-permission determination right is started, and the first success / failure determination right that was originally a hit is determined. In rare cases, (when the random number for success / failure acquired at the time of winning a prize is a win) is forcibly removed without performing the success / failure determination. In this case, the above-described Russian roulette game has been avoided, and the player has escaped from the crisis of “falling” from “short state with certainty” to “normal state”. Players will have a sense of good luck avoiding danger with a close call. In addition, examples of the manner of notifying of the hit cancellation include displaying “Danger Avoidance” on the display 15 and making the screen of the display 15 bright from a dark state. In addition, notification of hit cancellation may be performed by voice or sound effect.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the big hit game is started without interruption of the determination notification effect based on the other right / left decision right, and the first and second right / left right decision rights are executed during the execution of the big hit game. When both of the holdings are in a state of being aligned, the determination notification effect is performed in the order of the first winning / failing determination right and the second winning / failing determination right after the jackpot game ends, regardless of which holding has occurred first. It is controlled to be started. At this time, if the big success / failure determination of the first success / failure determination right is a win, a big hit game is performed based on the hit, and the determination result of the determination notification effect based on the second right / failure determination right is an actual success / failure result. Is forcibly removed without regard. Thereby, when it comes to the situation where the determination notification effects of both the first and second right-and-left determination right can be started after the big hit game, it is possible to give the player a thrilling feeling.

  In addition, the gaming state does not fall from the “short state with probability change” to the “normal state” in the second winning / deciding right, but the gaming state is “probable changing” in the first winning / deciding right. Since there is a possibility of falling from “short state with presence” to “normal state”, when it becomes a situation in which the determination notification effect of both the first and second right-and-left determination right can be started in “short state with certain change” In addition, the gaming state can be easily changed.

<Directing by reporting the remaining basic time>
In the “short state with probability change”, in order to further enhance the player's psychology, the “liquid crystal display time” related to the remaining time of “short state with probability change” is, for example, at the left end of the display 15 as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the remaining time display section 15H (hereinafter referred to as “remaining time notification effect” as appropriate).

  In order to display this “liquid crystal display time”, during the “short state when there is a certain change”, if the first right-and-left determination right that has been put on hold is only out of place, the scheduled execution time of the out-of-first first determination notification effect Is calculated as the “basic remaining time”, and if the first right-and-left determination right held is hit, the execution time of the first determination notification effect until the jackpot game is started The total is calculated as “basic remaining time”. In other words, the “basic remaining time” in the case where all of the first right-and-left determination rights that are on hold are out of date is the minimum time required to execute all the first determination notification effects that are on hold from the current time The “basic remaining time” when there is a hit with the first right / fail decision right pending is the shortest time from the current time until the big hit game with the first right / fail decision right pending is started That's it.

  Then, after the basic remaining time reaches “0”, the “big hit game” can be started. On the remaining time display portion 15H, “liquid crystal display time” based on the basic remaining time is displayed in a countdown manner. Here, after the “big hit game” of the first success / failure determination right, the current “short state with probability change” can fall to the “normal state”, so “normal display” is displayed by the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display. It is possible to give a player a sense of urgency that the arrival of a pinch that can fall into a “state” is imminent.

  In addition, regardless of whether the first and second right-and-left determination right is used immediately after being generated or suspended, whether or not the first and second right-and-left determination right immediately hits immediately after the occurrence and the variation time of the first determination notification effect are determined in advance. It is like that. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a winning in the first right-and-left determination right group, and the calculation of the “basic remaining time” becomes possible. Note that this pre-reading determination is performed at the same time in the low-probability state and the high-probability state regardless of the game state at the time of winning for the determination of whether or not it is a win, while the execution time of the determination notification effect is It is determined by the gaming state at the time of winning. For example, with respect to the right / left determination right that occurred in the high probability state, even if the right determination right is exhausted, even if it becomes a low probability state, execution of the determination notification effect that can be executed in the high probability state Choose from time. When the “basic remaining time” is calculated based on the hold of the right / no-go determination right that occurred in the low-probability state, the first notification is not the execution time of the determination notification effect in the low-probability state determined in advance. “30 seconds”, which is the shortest time of execution of the determination notification effect, is calculated as the execution time of the determination notification effect.

  When a jackpot game based on the second right / no-go judgment right is executed during the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display in the remaining time display portion 15H, the display of the determination symbol as a first determination notification effect on the display 15 is displayed. In the middle, a process according to the process performed when the jackpot game based on the second right / fail judgment right is executed. That is, as described above, the execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to a predetermined first determination notification effect time (30 seconds to 360 seconds) from the beginning, and the determination symbol is used as the first determination notification effect. When the variation display (hereinafter referred to as “first determination symbol” as appropriate) is executed, the effect execution time is counted (hereinafter, the effect execution time counted is referred to as “special figure 1 variation time” as appropriate). That is, the effect execution time is reduced from the initial first determination notification effect time, but when the big hit game based on the second right / fail determination right is executed during the variation display of the first determination symbol. Although the variation display of the first determination symbol is continuously performed, a process of interrupting the count of the performance execution time has been performed. In other words, regardless of whether or not the big hit game is being executed, the first determination notification effect is executed (the change display of the determination symbol is executed), the effect execution time is counted, and the first determination is made. When the jackpot game is executed during the notification effect, the total execution time of the jackpot game is added after the initial first determination notification effect time, and the first determination notification effect time is equal to the execution time of the jackpot game. Only the process of substantially extending is performed. Regarding the countdown display of the “liquid crystal display time” in the remaining time display unit 15H, the “basic remaining time” that is the source of the “liquid crystal display time” is the first determination notification effect time in order to perform processing according to this. It is calculated by taking the substantial extension time of.

  Specifically, the calculation of the “basic remaining time” is always performed, for example, at the timing when the first determination notification effect is started and at the timing when the first right / wrong determination right is suspended. When the big hit game is executed during the first determination notification effect, the calculation of the “basic remaining time” is not performed when the total execution time of the big hit game during the first determination notification effect is less than 15 seconds. When it is 15 seconds or longer, the “basic remaining time” is calculated at the following timing in order to capture the substantial extension time of the first determination notification effect time of 15 seconds or longer. That is, when the substantial extension time of the first determination notification effect time is 15 seconds or more, the “basic remaining time” is the end timing in the initial first determination notification effect time excluding the extension time. Perform the operation. At this time, the time obtained by combining the greatest common multiple of “15” of the numerical values within the extension time and the scheduled execution time related to the first right / fail decision right, is calculated as “basic remaining time”. . Thus, when a big hit game is executed during the first determination notification effect, the “basic remaining time” is substantially extended by a multiple of 15 seconds in accordance with the total execution time of the big hit game. . Specifically, when the extension time is “10 seconds”, the “basic remaining time” is not extended, and when the extension time is “20 seconds”, the “basic remaining time” is extended by “15 seconds”. Is “35 seconds”, the “basic remaining time” is extended by “30 seconds”. For this reason, when the substantial extension time of the first determination notification effect time is not divisible by 15 seconds (for example, 10 seconds), the first remaining time including the basic remaining time and the extension time is included. A calculation error of a fraction (for example, 10 seconds) occurs between the determination notification effect time. The processing for correcting the calculation error will be described in detail later.

  The remaining time display section 15H does not display all of the “basic remaining time” as the “liquid crystal display time” from the beginning, but counts down while sequentially adding the “basic remaining time” to the “liquid crystal display time” one by one. To do. Specifically, at the start of the first determination notification effect (when the first right / no-go determination right is digested), the determination notification effect time of the first determination notification effect to be started is set to a predetermined time (for example, (15 seconds). Then, the “addition time” to be added to the “liquid crystal display time” is drawn at the timing when the digestion of the block is started. That is, a part of the “basic remaining time” is added to the “liquid crystal display time” counted down every predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds). For example, when the “liquid crystal display time” is “20 seconds”, the basic remaining time is “60 seconds”, and the extra time determined by lottery is “25 seconds”, a predetermined time from the first “20 seconds”, for example, 15 When the “liquid crystal display time” becomes “5 seconds” after a lapse of seconds, “25 seconds” is added, and “liquid crystal display time” becomes “30 seconds” (the remaining basic time at this point) Is 45 seconds). After that, until the “basic remaining time” disappears, the “additional time” drawn from the “basic remaining time” is added to the “liquid crystal display time” every predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), and the countdown display is performed. When the “basic remaining time” disappears, the “liquid crystal display time” is also “0”. As described above, when the countdown display advances, the remaining time display unit 15H performs an effect that the “additional time” drawn from the “basic remaining time” is added to the “liquid crystal display time” and the remaining time increases at a stretch. As a result, the kite will also appear as if the fall from the “short state with certainty” has been postponed, and can boost the player's mood.

  In addition, the lottery of effects such as “addition time” is performed not only at the start of the first and second determination notification effects (at the start of variation of the determination symbol) but also every predetermined time, so that it is long as in the present embodiment. Even if the effect time of the determination notification effect is set, the effect is periodically executed, and the player can be prevented from being bored.

  Further, when the count of the variation time of the determination notification effect based on the first success / failure determination right is interrupted by the execution of the jackpot game based on the second right / failure determination right, the time for the interruption is the first determination At the end of the initial determination notification effect time of the notification effect (when all the blocks are digested), the initial basic remaining time is added. Specifically, when the total time of interruption exceeds a certain length (for example, 15 seconds), the interruption time is again divided into blocks every predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), and the basic remaining in units of the blocks. It is added to the time, and if it is less than a certain length, it is rounded down.

  The main display effect section 15U displays an added “liquid crystal display time” for a predetermined time before adding the extra time and starting the countdown display (hereinafter referred to as “addition effect”). ) And the countdown display is started from the “liquid crystal display time” displayed in the extra effect after the extra effect is completed (see FIG. 2). The execution time of this “add-on effect” is determined by lottery. In addition, during the execution of the “addition effect”, the “addition effect” lottery is not performed even at the timing when the above-described block digestion is started. In the above-described example, the flow of increase / decrease in “liquid crystal display time” is described on the assumption that the execution time of “addition effect” is 0 second. The flow of increase / decrease in “liquid crystal display time” including “addition effect” will be described below. When the countdown display from the first “20 seconds” becomes “5” after 15 seconds, “28” is displayed as the “liquid crystal display time” in which “25 seconds” is added after the addition of 2 seconds. After the additional effect is performed for “2 seconds” (the countdown display changes from “5” to “3” during this time), the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display in the remaining time display portion 15H is changed from “3” to “28”. ", And the countdown display starts from" 28 ".

  Here, if there is a hit with the first right / fail decision right held in “short state with certain change”, after the countdown display by the remaining time display unit 15H ends (becomes “0”), The “big hit game” is started by winning the first right / fail judgment right. In other words, until the countdown display of the remaining time display unit 15H is finished, except for a very rare case, the player will not fall from the current “short state when there is a certain change”. Recognizing that the “short state when there is a certain change” is guaranteed, the remaining time display portion 15H when the “addition time” is added is recognized as the time displayed in FIG. And it is possible to enjoy the game while watching the addition effect in the main display effect part 15U.

  Here, the above-mentioned “very rare case” means that a big hit game of the second right / fail judgment right is performed in the “short state when there is a certain change”, and the big hit game has failed to enter the V determination opening 36A. In this case, the time falls from the “short state when there is a certain change” to the “short state when there is no certain change” earlier than the time displayed on the remaining time display portion 15H. The remaining time notification effect and the extra effect in this case will be described in detail later.

<Internal processing of “Remaining time notification effect”>
An outline of the internal processing of the “remaining time notification effect” will be described. As shown in FIG. 73, in this embodiment, in order to control the “liquid crystal display time” in the “remaining time notification effect”, the “special figure 1 variable time timer”, “variable scenario timer”, “main control timer” Various timers such as “production timer” and “liquid crystal timer” are provided.

  The “special figure 1 fluctuation time timer” is for counting the fluctuation time of the first determination notification effect (special figure 1 fluctuation time), and the specified fluctuation time is set at the start of the first determination notification effect. The subtraction is always performed in accordance with the passage of time, while the subtraction is interrupted during the execution of the big hit game based on the second right / fail judgment right.

  The “fluctuation scenario timer” is a timer that starts counting at the start of the first determination notification effect and restarts the counting every 15 seconds. The period of 15 seconds corresponds to the “block” described above.

  The “main control timer” manages the “basic remaining time” calculated as described above. The timing at which the first determination notification effect is started, the timing at which the first right / no-go determination right is suspended, and The calculated “basic calculation time” is set at three timings, that is, the timing when the “special figure 1 fluctuation time timer” remains for 15 seconds or more at the end of the initial first determination notification effect time. Then, the “main control timer” is subtracted for 15 seconds at the timing when the digestion of the block is started (that is, subtracted in increments of 15 seconds). It should be noted that the subtraction of 15 seconds is not performed at the timing when the digestion of the first block is started (at the start of the production of the first determination notification effect). That is, the count result of the “main control timer” is delayed in the range of 0 to 15 seconds with respect to the true “basic remaining time”.

  The “effect timer” manages the execution time of the extra effect, and the execution time of the extra effect determined by the lottery is set at the time of the extra effect lottery performed at the timing when the digestion of the block is started. Then, 15 seconds are subtracted at the timing (in principle, after 15 seconds) when digestion of the next block is started (that is, subtraction is performed in increments of 15 seconds). At this timing, if the “effect timer” after subtraction is “0”, the additional effect lottery is performed again, and if it is not “0”, the additional effect lottery is not performed.

  The “Liquid Crystal Timer” matches the “Liquid Crystal Display Time” every 15 seconds, and the “Extra Time” determined by the lottery was added at the time of the extra effect lottery performed at the timing when the digestion of the block was started. Updated on time. Similarly to the “production timer”, the subtraction is performed for 15 seconds at the timing (in principle, 15 seconds later) when digestion of the next block is started (ie, subtraction is performed every 15 seconds). When the extra effect lottery is performed at this timing, the “liquid crystal timer” after the subtraction is updated to the time obtained by adding the “addition time” determined in the lottery.

  Here, the “effect timer” and the “liquid crystal timer” are the timing at which the digestion of the block is started at the timing at which 15 seconds are subtracted. In addition, no subtraction is performed at the timing when the next first determination notification effect is not started. At this time, these timers are decremented by 15 seconds after the timing described above or at the timing when the next first determination notification effect is started.

  The flow of increase / decrease in the main timer and “liquid crystal display time” will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 73 shows a case where the first determination notification effect of the special figure 1 variation time “60” is started at the timing when the liquid crystal display time and the liquid crystal timer are “10”, and the first right / fail determination right is not suspended. The time charts of various timers are shown. First, since the special figure 1 variation time is “60”, it is divided into four blocks, and “60” is set in the “main control timer”. Here, at the timing when the digestion of the first block is started (timing at which the first determination notification effect is started), the lottery for the extra effect is performed. At this time, the “addition time” is selected so as to be a value within a value obtained by subtracting the value of the “liquid crystal timer” from the value of the “main control timer” (for example, within 60−10 = 50). For example, when the extra time selected by lottery is “30 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is “10 seconds”, “10” is set in the effect timer, and the liquid crystal timer is immediately added by 30 seconds and starts from “10”. “40”. Then, “30”, which is the liquid crystal display time after the extra effect, is displayed on the main display effect unit 15U as an extra effect for 10 seconds. During this time, the liquid crystal display time of the remaining time display unit 15H is changed from “10” to “ Counts down to "0". Thereafter, “30 seconds” is added to “0”, the liquid crystal display time becomes “30”, and the countdown is performed from “30”.

  The main control timer “60”, the effect timer “10”, and the liquid crystal timer “40” are subtracted by 15 seconds at the timing when the digestion of the second block is started (15 seconds after the start of the first determination notification effect). , “45”, “0”, and “25”, respectively. Since the “production timer” is “0”, the extra production lottery is performed again. At this time, the “liquid crystal display time” has passed 5 seconds from immediately after the last presentation effect, and has changed from “30” to “25”. The lottery is selected so that the “addition time” is within 20 seconds (45 (main control timer) −25 (liquid crystal timer)). For example, if the extra time selected by lottery is “10 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is “10 seconds”, the liquid crystal timer “25” is immediately increased by 10 seconds to “35”. Then, the liquid crystal display time of the remaining time display portion 15H is counted down from “25” to “15” for 10 seconds, then added by 10 seconds to “25”, and the countdown is performed from “25”. After that, an additional effect is performed every 15 seconds, and the “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are updated.

  In addition, as shown in * 1 of FIG. 74, when the execution time of the selected extra effect is 15 seconds or more, the extra effect lottery is not performed at the timing when the next block is digested. For example, in the case where the execution time of the selected extra effect is 20 seconds, at the timing when the extra effect is started (* 2, in FIG. 74, when the digestion of the second block is started), "Is set to" 20 ". Then, 15 seconds later (timing when the third block starts to be digested), the performance timer “20” is decremented by 15 to “5” (* 3 in FIG. 74). At this time, since the “effect timer” is not “0”, the lottery for the extra effect is not performed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the next extra production is started during the extra production.

  Here, the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time” are configured to coincide with the lottery of the extra effect (after the subtraction of 15 seconds and before the extra in the “liquid crystal timer”). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 73, for example, both “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are “25” (timing of * 1 in FIG. 73), and the additional time is “10 seconds”. When the additional effect execution time is “10 seconds”, the liquid crystal timer “25” is immediately added by “10 seconds” to “35”. At this point, there is a difference between the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time”. On the other hand, the “liquid crystal display time” is 10 seconds later (the timing of * 2 in FIG. 73), that is, after being counted down from “25” to “15”, is added by “10 seconds” to become “25”. . Even at this time, the liquid crystal timer “35” is different from the liquid crystal display time “25”. 5 seconds later, the liquid crystal timer “35” is subtracted by 15 seconds to become “20”, and the “liquid crystal display time” is also counted down from “25” for 5 seconds to “20”. The “liquid crystal display time” again matches. That is, the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time” match only in 15 second increments.

  The “liquid crystal timer” is actually subtracted only in increments of 15 seconds, but assuming that it is subtracted in increments of 1 second as time elapses, the liquid crystal display time “25” after the extra effect and the liquid crystal timer “25 (35) −10) ”. In other words, the “liquid crystal timer” is configured such that the extra time is added in advance at the time of lottery for the extra effect, and coincides with the “liquid crystal display time” after the extra effect. It matches at the time of lottery for extra production. Thereby, at the time of lottery for an extra effect, for example, it is possible to prevent an “additional time” that cannot be added, such as the “liquid crystal display time” after addition exceeding the “main control timer” being determined.

  Now, as shown in * 3 of FIG. 73, when the big hit game with the second right / fail judgment right is executed on the way, the subtraction is interrupted and the big hit game is ended in the “special figure 1 variable time timer”. Later, the subtraction is resumed. On the other hand, other timers such as “liquid crystal display time”, “main control timer”, and “liquid crystal timer” continue to be subtracted even during the big hit game.

  For example, if the subtraction of “Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Time Timer” is interrupted for 10 seconds, “Liquid Crystal Display Time” is the time when all the blocks are consumed (* 4 in FIG. 73, the time when the original fluctuation time has elapsed). ) Becomes “0”. The “special figure 1 fluctuation time timer” becomes “0” 10 seconds later, and the first determination notification effect is ended. Further, the “liquid crystal timer” is not subtracted when all the blocks are digested, and therefore remains “15”, for example, and is subtracted 15 seconds later to “0”.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 75, when the interruption time of “Special Figure 1 Variation Time Timer” is 15 seconds or more, when all the blocks are digested (* 1 in FIG. 75, the original variation time has elapsed). At that time, the remaining “Special Figure 1 Variation Time Timer” is again divided into 15-second blocks. For example, if the remaining “Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Time Timer” is 20 seconds, one block is created, and the lottery for the extra effect is further performed at the timing when the digestion of that block is started.

  Here, when the first determination notification effect is prolonged from the beginning by the execution of the jackpot game with the second right / no-go determination right, when the next first determination notification effect is started, the “liquid crystal” There may be a difference between the “timer” and the “liquid crystal display time”. Details will be described below.

  FIG. 76 shows the flow of various timers when the first determination notification effect of 60 seconds is performed twice, and the “special figure 1 variable time timer” is interrupted for 10 seconds by the first determination notification effect of the first time. It is shown. First, at the timing at which the first first determination notification effect is started, the scheduled execution time of the first determination notification effect is combined with the next scheduled execution time of the first determination notification effect. “120 seconds” is set in the “main control timer”. Thereafter, until the middle, various timers increase / decrease in the same way as the flow of various timers shown in FIG. 73, and are omitted, and the timing at which the main control timer changes from “90” to “75” (* 1 in FIG. 76). ) First, at the timing of “90” → “75” (digestion of the fourth block is started), both “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are, for example, “12”. When the extra time is determined to be “28 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is determined to be “10 seconds”, the liquid crystal timer “12” is immediately increased by “28 seconds” to “40”. On the other hand, the “liquid crystal display time” is counted down from “12” for 10 seconds to “2”, and then added by 28 seconds to “30”. Five seconds later (* 2 in FIG. 76), the fourth block has been digested, and the original fluctuation time has elapsed. Further, since the interruption time of “Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Time Timer” is “10 seconds” and less than 15 seconds, no block is added. At this time, since all blocks are digested and digestion of the next block is not started, the “liquid crystal timer” is not subtracted and remains “40”. On the other hand, the “liquid crystal display time” is counted down from “30” for 5 seconds to “25”.

  Then, 10 seconds later, the “special figure 1 variable time timer” becomes “0”, and the first determination notification effect for the first time is finished and the first determination notification effect for the second time is started (FIG. 76 * 3). The execution time “60 seconds” of the first determination notification effect is divided into four blocks, digestion of the first block is started, and an extra lottery is performed. At this time, the liquid crystal timer “40” is decremented by 15 seconds to “25” with the start of block digestion, while “liquid crystal display time” is counted down from “25” for 10 seconds to “15”. . In other words, “liquid crystal display time” is subtracted as time elapses, whereas “liquid crystal timer” actually subtracts “15 seconds” even though “25 seconds” have elapsed. A certain “10-second” shift will occur between the two at the time of lottery.

  Here, when the remaining time notification effect proceeds while the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time” are shifted in this manner, for example, the main control timer is “15”, the “liquid crystal timer” is “10”, “ When the “liquid crystal display time” becomes “0”, the time within “15 seconds” can be actually added, but the additional time is drawn within “5 seconds”. In this case, although the “main control timer” remains, the “liquid crystal display time” becomes “0” as compared to the state where there is no deviation between the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time”. It becomes easy to happen.

  In order to prevent such a situation, in this embodiment, the “liquid crystal display time” after the addition is not a value obtained by adding “addition time” to the “liquid crystal display time” immediately before the addition, but is added from the “liquid crystal timer”. The value obtained by subtracting the execution time (effect timer) and adding the “addition time” is set. Specifically, if the extra time is determined to be “15 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is “10 seconds” in the extra effect lottery at the timing when the deviation occurs (* 3 in FIG. 76), the liquid crystal timer “ “25” is immediately added by 15 seconds to “40”. On the other hand, after “10” is counted down from “15” to “5” (* 4 in FIG. 76), “liquid crystal display time” is added to “5” for 15 seconds to become “20”. Rather, the liquid crystal timer “25” at the time of the extra effect is subtracted by 10 seconds corresponding to the execution time of the extra effect and added to 15 seconds to become “30”. As a result, at the timing when the extra effect is drawn lottery after 5 seconds (* 5 in FIG. 76), “liquid crystal display time” is subtracted from “40” by 15 seconds to “25”, and “liquid crystal timer” is “ Since “30” is changed to “25”, both coincide with each other again. As described above, in the present embodiment, the process of matching the “liquid crystal display time” with the “liquid crystal timer” is performed every time the extra effect is produced, so even if a deviation occurs between the two, the deviation is corrected by the extra effect. be able to. Furthermore, since this shift is corrected at the timing of the extra effect, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel uncomfortable.

  In the present embodiment, the time of the first determination notification effect in the probability variation state is configured to be a multiple of 15, and the above-described only when the special figure 1 variation time timer is interrupted by the big hit game. Such a difference between the “liquid crystal display time” and the “liquid crystal timer” occurs, but the time of the first determination notification effect includes a time other than a multiple of 15 and the difference occurs between the two. Even if it exists, it can prevent that the state which shifted | deviated for a long time by the process mentioned above.

  Note that even if the “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are different at the time of lottery for the extra effect, the “liquid crystal display time” will not be larger than the “liquid crystal timer”. "Extra time" that cannot be added, such as "" exceeds the "main control timer", will not be drawn.

<About the display of the main display effect section>
During the short state when there is a certain change, the main display effect unit 15U displays the “short state image when there is a certain change” at a time other than the time when the “addition effect” is being performed. The “short-time image with certain change” is, for example, an image of a specific character running. Then, once the “addition effect” is started, the “short-time image for when there is a certain change” is not displayed, and is displayed again after the “addition effect” is completed. By displaying this “image for the short state when there is a certain change”, it is possible to make the player recognize that the short state is when there is a certain change.

<About falls during the production stage>
As described above, in a very rare case, a big hit game with the second right / fail judgment right is performed in the “short state when there is a certain change”, and the big hit game cannot enter the V determination port 36A. It may fall from “short state with certainty” to “short state without certain”. In addition, as described above, the “short state when there is no certain change” is terminated when the number of missed hits in the big hit determination made before hitting the big hit is judged to reach the upper limit number of big hits. To fall. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), depending on the setting of the maximum number of jackpot determinations, the game state is “no probability change” in the state where “the image for short state with probability change” is displayed on the main display effect part 15U. When the player further “falls” from the “short-time state” to the “normal state”, the game ball hardly wins at the special start port 33A, so the player notices a sudden change in the game state, and feels uncomfortable with the difference between the production contents and the game state. The situation to remember is possible.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the big hit determination upper limit number is set so as to be longer than the longest execution time of the first determination notification effect and to continue the “short state without probability change”. Specifically, the longest execution time of the first determination notification effect is “360 seconds” that can be executed in the “short state when there is a certain change”, and the second determination notification effect in the “short state when there is no certain change”. Since the execution time is “4 seconds”, the maximum number of jackpot determinations is set to a value of 90 times (= 360/4) or more. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 12B, while the game state is “short state when there is no certain change”, the effect display for “short state when there is a certain change” in the main display effect unit 15U ends. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the effect display for the “short state when there is a certain change” (display of the “image for the short state when there is a certain change” and the first determination notification effect) is finished, the main of the display 15 is displayed. After the effect display for “short state without probability change” (for example, “Danger”) is displayed on the display effect unit 15U, the game state further falls from “short state without probability change” to “normal state” and at the same time, the display The display of the 15 main display effect units 15U also shifts to the effect display for “normal state”. As a result, the player does not feel uncomfortable and the game can be enjoyed.

  Further, the above-mentioned fall from the “short state with probability change” to the “short state without probability change” described above, in particular, immediately before or during execution of the big hit game of the second success / failure determination right, When the “addition effect” (display of “liquid crystal display time” after the addition) is started and the “addition effect” continues to be executed after the end of the jackpot game, While the “additional effect” is performed (the “liquid crystal display time” after the addition is displayed), the gaming state falls from the “short state when there is a certain change” to the “short state when there is no certain change”.

  Here, if the countdown display (remaining time notification effect) of the remaining time display unit 15H is immediately ended in response to the fact that the gaming state has fallen to “short state without probability change”, The consistency of the production cannot be obtained with the “additional production”. That is, in the main display effect section 15U, an “addition effect” meaning the next addition is performed, while in the remaining time display section 15H, the countdown display of “liquid crystal display time” ends.

  On the other hand, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, during the execution of the “additional effect”, it falls from the “short state when there is a certain change” to the “short state when there is no certain change” due to the second right / no-go decision right In such a case, after the “addition effect” is finished and the block time (the block time after the addition) is displayed on the remaining time display portion 15H according to the display contents of the “addition effect”, the block time is counted down. It is configured so as to expedite the end of the display (remaining notification effect). Specifically, for example, in the state where “18 seconds” is displayed on the main display effect part 15U as an extra effect, the big hit game ends and changes from “short state with probability change” to “short state without probability change”. In the case of falling, after the addition effect is finished, “18” is once displayed on the remaining time display portion 15H. Thereafter, the countdown speed of the remaining time display unit 15H is increased, and the “liquid crystal display time” displayed on the remaining time display unit 15H is shorter than the displayed “liquid crystal display time” (for example, within 3 seconds). "Is set to" 0 "(this is referred to as" short time effect "as appropriate). Thereby, it is possible to achieve the consistency of the effect between the “addition effect” and the “remaining time notification effect”, and it is possible to quickly match the gaming state and the effect. The “short-time effect” only needs to be able to set the “liquid crystal display time” to “0 seconds” within the effect time of the “short-time effect”. For example, “18 seconds” displayed on the main display effect unit 15U is counted down. It may be set to “0 seconds” suddenly. The “time saving effect” is executed in place of the “addition effect” at the timing when the additional effect is selected by lottery. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation where a time-shortening effect is executed during the extra effect.

  The center start port 31A and the side start port 32A described above correspond to the “first start port” of the present invention, and the special start port 33A corresponds to the “second start port” of the present invention. The first attacker port 34A and the second attacker port 35A correspond to the “large winning port” of the present invention. Also, the remaining time notification effect corresponds to the “remaining time effect” of the present invention, the interruption time of the special figure 1 variable time timer corresponds to the “parallel execution time” of the present invention, and the bonus with bonus is the “probability change” of the present invention. “Easy acquisition big hit” corresponds to “unobtainable big hit”, and “probable change difficult big hit” of the present invention corresponds to.

<About the effect | action and effect of this invention in the pachinko game machine 10>
The above is description other than the control flow of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. Next, the operation and effect of the present invention in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described, and then the control flow will be described in detail.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the first right / left determination right generated by winning the center start port 31A and the side start port 32A (first start port) and the special start port 33A. Using the second right / no-go judgment right generated by winning the (second starting port), the big hit / no-go judgment is performed, and the judgment / notification effect for notifying the judgment result is the first judgment / notification unit. This is performed by 15G and the second determination notification unit 25, respectively. At that time, the determination notification effect is executed between the first success / failure determination rights and the second success / failure determination rights using the success / failure determination rights in the order of occurrence, and the use determination right waiting for use is suspended. On the other hand, the determination notification effect of the other right / left determination right is started regardless of whether the determination notification effect of the first or second right / left determination right is being executed. That is, since the determination notification effect based on the first success / failure determination right and the determination notification effect based on the second determination right / failure right can be performed in parallel, the player holds in the conventional pachinko gaming machine. The dissatisfaction with the determination notification effect that has been made can be resolved.

  Here, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment does not execute the second determination notification effect when the big hit game with the second right / fail determination right is executed during the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display. As the “liquid crystal display time” counts down, it can be disadvantageous for the player. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the end of the first determination notification effect is delayed by the execution time of the jackpot game, and the basic remaining time is recalculated in consideration of that amount, so the second determination The amount of time that the notification effect was not executed is compensated for, so that the player is not disadvantaged.

  Furthermore, since the “liquid crystal display time” based on the basic remaining time, which is the remaining time before the execution of the jackpot game by the first right / no-go judgment right, is counted down, “short state with probability change” is changed to “normal state” The arrival of a pinch that can fall can give players a sense of urgency.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the interruption time of the “special figure 1 variable time timer” is 15 seconds or more, the timing for recalculating the basic remaining time and the timing for dividing (setting) into blocks are as follows: The timing at which the original fluctuation time has elapsed (the timing at which all the blocks have been digested) has been reached. According to this configuration, for example, when the initial fluctuation time has elapsed in a situation where there is no next hold, the timing at which the additional time is added is the timing immediately after the “liquid crystal display time” once becomes “0”. Therefore, immediately after giving the player a sense of tension that the probability variation state may end, an uplifting feeling that the pinch has been eliminated can be given, and the remaining time notification effect can be undulated.

<About the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10>
Next, the electrical configuration of the gaming machine 10 will be described. On the rear surface of the gaming machine 10, control circuits such as a main control circuit, a sub control circuit, and a liquid crystal control circuit (not shown) and a power supply board are provided.

Then, the liquid crystal control circuit displays a determination symbol, an effect image, and the like on the display 15 based on information (liquid crystal reception information) from the sub control circuit.

<Terms used in the explanation of internal processing>
Next, internal processing of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the following description, the “small determination notification unit” in the above configuration is referred to as “ordinary symbol”, and the “first determination notification unit 15G” in the above configuration is referred to as “special symbol 1 (special symbol 1)”. The “second determination notification unit 25” in the above configuration is referred to as “special figure 2 (special symbol 2)”. The “determination notification effect” for each symbol is called “fluctuation”. The “bonus without bonus” and the “bonus with bonus” are collectively referred to as “hit”.

<Main control circuit main program>
When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, the main control circuit provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 executes the main control circuit main program PG1. As shown in FIG. 13, the main control circuit main program PG1 first performs initial setting of the CPU and the like (S1). The initial setting (S1) is executed only when the main control circuit main program PG1 is run for the first time after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

  Following the initial setting (S1), the following steps S2 to S4 are performed in a loop for the remaining time until an interrupt process (S5) described later is executed. First, interrupts are prohibited (S2), and even if a timer interrupt comes in, interrupt processing is not performed until the interrupt is enabled. Subsequently, normal symbol / special symbol random number update processing (S3) is executed. In this process (S3), the random number counter shown in Table 3 below is incremented by 1 and updated. The updated counter value is stored in the updated value storage area of the RAM one by one. When the normal symbol / special symbol random number update process (S3) is completed, the interrupt is permitted (S4), and the interrupt process (S5) can be executed.

  As the random number counter, the label-TRND-A, label-TRND-AZ, label-TRND-RC, label-TRND-T, label-TRND-B1, label-TRND-B2, label-TRND- shown in Table 3 are used. Counters such as B3 and label-TRND-H are provided.

  These random number counters are incremented by 1 when the random number update process (S3, S11) is performed starting from 0 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on, and set to 0 when the maximum value of the “numerical value range” is reached. The addition is repeated again.

  Then, when the game ball passes through the start gate 30, the counter value of the label -TRND-H among the random number counters shown in Table 3 is acquired and stored in the RAM. Further, when a game ball is won at the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A, among the random number counters shown in Table 3 other than the label -TRND-H (label -TRND-A, label- Each counter value of TRND-AZ etc. is acquired and stored in the RAM. Hereinafter, a plurality of counter values (label-TRND-A, label-TRND-AZ, etc.) acquired at the time of winning to the three start ports 31A, 32A, 33A are collected and appropriately referred to as “special symbol related counter values”. That's it.

  Here, in the random number storage area of the RAM, the special symbol related counter value acquired at the time of winning a prize and the counter value of the label-TRND-H can be stored up to “4” which is the upper limit of the hold respectively. And each counter value (random number value) memorize | stored in the random-number storage area is used for a game in an order from an old thing.

  The interrupt process (S5) is executed according to an interrupt pulse input at a cycle of 4 msec, for example. Then, during the remaining processing period from the end of the interrupt processing (S5) to the start of the next interrupt processing (S5), various counter values (see Table 3) by the normal symbol / special symbol random number update processing (S3). ) Is repeatedly executed a plurality of times. If an interrupt pulse is input in the interrupt disabled state, the interrupt process (S5) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S4).

  The main interrupt process (S5) will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, in the main interrupt processing (S5), first, command processing (S10) is performed. In the command processing (S10), various commands set in the output buffer of the RAM are output to the corresponding sub control device (for example, a display control device, a lamp control device, etc.).

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S11) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3) performed in the loop process of the main control circuit main program PG1 described above. is there. That is, the update processing of various counter values shown in Table 3 is performed within the execution period of the main interrupt process (S5) and the remaining process period (after the main interrupt process (S5) ends, the next main interrupt process (S5 ) Is done both in the period until it is started).

<About the process at the time of winning>
Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S11), the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S12) is executed. The start winning opening switch detection process (S12) is shown in FIG. 15, and the corresponding holding ball is passed according to each passing or winning of the start gate 30, the center start opening 31A, the side start opening 32A, and the special start opening 33A. Adds numbers and obtains random numbers for success / failure determination. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the start gate 30 (S100). If the game ball has passed through the start gate 30 (Yes in S100), a gate passing process (S101) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the gate passing process (S101), it is determined whether or not the number of normal symbol holding balls (the number of holdings of the normal symbol variation display) is 4 or more (has reached the holding upper limit) ( S110) If it is not 4 or more (No in S110), 1 is added to the number of normal symbol reserved balls (S111), and the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S112) is executed. That is, the normal symbol appropriateness determination counter value “label-TRND-H” is acquired as a random number from the update value storage area of the RAM and stored in the random number storage area of the RAM. On the other hand, when the number of normal symbol reserved balls is 4 or more (Yes in S110), the process exits (S101).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15, after determining No in step S100 (when not passing through the start gate 30) and after performing the gate passing process (S101), the center start port 31A or side start is performed. It is determined whether or not a game ball has won a prize in the mouth 32A (denoted as “Special Figure 1 Start Prize Port” in the flowchart) (S102). If the game ball has not won the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A (No in S102), the game ball wins the special start port 33A (denoted as “Special Figure 2 Start Winner” in the flowchart). It is determined whether or not (S106). If a game ball has won a prize at the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A (Yes in S102), it is determined whether or not the current special figure 1 hold ball number is 4 or more (hold upper limit) (S103). If the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 is 4 or more (Yes in S103), the process exits the process (S12) as it is. If the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 is not 4 or more (No in S103), the special figure is displayed. One reserved ball number is incremented by 1 (S104), and special figure related random number acquisition processing (S105) is executed. Specifically, special symbol related counter values (label-TRND-A, label-TRND-AZ, etc.) are obtained from the update value storage area of the RAM, and stored in the random number storage area of the RAM. Then, based on the acquired counter value, the result of the success / failure determination and the variation time are acquired, the contents thereof are set in the winning command, and the winning command is set in the output buffer of the RAM. At this time, regarding the determination result, the determination result in each of the high probability state and the low probability state is acquired regardless of the current gaming state, and both are set. The variable time is obtained and set according to the current gaming state. Thereafter, this process (S12) is exited.

  If a game ball has not won in the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A (No in S102) and a game ball has won in the special start port 33A (Yes in S106), the current special figure 2 reserved ball It is determined whether the number is 4 or more (holding upper limit) (S107). If the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 is 4 or more (Yes in S107), this process (S12) is exited, but if the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 is not 4 or more (No in S107), the special figure 2 Add 1 to the number of reserved balls (S108) and execute a special figure related random number acquisition process (S109). This special figure related random number acquisition process (S109) is the same as the special figure related random number acquisition process (S105) executed after the special figure 1 reserved ball number addition process (S104). Thereafter, this process (S12) is exited.

<Regarding determination of success / failure based on normal symbols and opening / closing control of prize opening>
As shown in FIG. 14, a normal operation process (S13) is performed after the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S12). In this process (S13), the “small hit game” is performed based on the normal symbol success / failure determination random number value (label-TRND-H) acquired (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM) under the condition that the start gate 30 is passed. When the determination result is “small hit”, the start door 33T provided at the special start port 33A is opened and closed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, first, whether or not a “small hit game” in which the start opening door 33T (denoted as “opening / closing member” in the flowchart) falls forward and the special start opening 33A opens is being executed. Is determined (S120). When the “small hit game” is in progress (Yes in S120), it is determined whether or not a predetermined small hit game period has passed (S121). If the small hit game period has not passed (No in S121), this process (S13) is exited, whereas if the small hit game period has passed (Yes in S121), the small hit game end process is opened and closed. After performing the member closing process (S122), the process exits (S13).

  When the small hit game is not being executed (No in S120), it is determined whether or not the number of normal symbol reserved balls related to the start gate 30 is 0 (S123). If the number of retained normal symbol balls is “0” (Yes in S123), the process exits from this process (S13), whereas if it is not “0” (No in S123), the normal symbol stored in the RAM. A random number value for determination of validity (label-TRND-H) is loaded (S134).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the current small hit determination is performed with “high probability” (S125). If it is performed with high probability (Yes in S125), the determination result for high probability is Then, a small hit determination is performed by comparing the loaded random number for normal symbol determination (label-TRND-H) (S126). Here, in the small hit determination, it is determined that the small hit determination is performed with a “high probability” when the gaming state is “time-short state” regardless of whether or not the game state is changed. If the determination result is “small hit” (Yes in S126), a small hit game is executed (S127). The small hit game when winning with a high probability is, for example, “repeating 2 seconds per release 3 times”.

  In addition, when the current small hit determination is not performed with high probability (it is performed with low probability) (No in S125), the determination result determination value for the low probability and the loaded normal symbol determination determination disorder The small hit determination is performed by collating with the numerical value (label-TRND-H) (S128). If the determination result is “small hit” (Yes in S128), a small hit game is executed (S129). The small hit game when winning with a low probability is, for example, “perform one release per second once”.

  If the loaded random number for normal symbol determination (label-TRND-H) does not match the determination value (No in S126 or S128), the small hit game is not executed and this process (S13) Exit.

<Regarding the control of determination of success / failure by special symbol>
As shown in FIG. 14, the special operation process (S14) is performed after the normal operation process (S13). This process (S14) is shown in FIG. 18, and the special figure 1 operational status representing the operational state according to the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 operational status representing the operational state according to the special figure 2 are determined, and the jackpot When the operation is in progress (when the special figure 1 operation status or special figure 2 operation status is "4" to "8", hereinafter referred to as "big hit operation"), special figure 1 big hit action processing or special figure 2 big hit action Execute the process. When the jackpot operation is not being performed, the fluctuation process and jackpot determination process in FIG. 1 are performed in sequence, and the fluctuation process and jackpot determination process in FIG.

  Specifically, it is first determined whether or not a big hit operation is being performed (S130). When the big hit operation is in progress (Yes in S130), if the big hit operation according to the special figure 1 is in progress (the special figure 1 operation status is "4" to "8"), the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) is performed. If the big hit operation according to the special figure 2 is in progress (the special figure 2 operation status is "4" to "8"), the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) is executed, and this process (S14) Exit. Note that the big hit operation according to the special figure 1 and the big hit action according to the special figure 2 do not occur simultaneously (the special figure 1 operation status and the special figure 2 operation status become "4" to "8" at the same time). When the big hit operation is not being performed (No in S130), it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 is “big hit confirmed” (whether the special figure 2 operation status is “3”) (S132). If the special figure 2 is not “big hit confirmed” (No in S132), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 is changing (whether the special figure 1 operation timer is “0”) (S133). When the special figure 1 is changing (No in S133), the special figure 1 operation timer (fluctuation time of the special figure 1) is subtracted (in this embodiment, 4 [ms] is subtracted) (S134). Next, after the determination in step S133 becomes Yes (when the special figure 1 is not changing) and after the special figure 1 operation timer is subtracted (S134), the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) is performed. Run. At this time, the operation status of Special Figure 1 is any one of “0” to “3”. Next, it is determined whether or not a big hit operation is being performed (S136). If a big hit operation is being performed (Yes in S136), the processing (S14) is exited.

  After the determination in step S132 is Yes (when special figure 2 is “big hit confirmed”), and after special figure 1 variable action processing (S135), the big hit is not being performed (No in S136). It is determined whether or not the special figure 1 is “big hit confirmed” (whether or not the special figure 1 operation status is “3”) (S137), and if the special figure 1 is “big hit confirmed” (S137) In Yes), this process (S14) is exited. When the special figure 1 is not “big hit confirmed” (No in S137), it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 is changing (whether or not the special figure 2 operation timer is “0”) (S138). When the special figure 2 is changing (No in S138), the special figure 2 operation timer is subtracted by 4 [ms] (S139). Next, after the determination in step S138 becomes Yes (when the special figure 2 is not changing) and after the special figure 2 operation timer is subtracted (S139), the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) is performed. Run. At this time, the special figure 2 operation status is any one of “0” to “3”. Thereafter, the process exits (S14).

  By adopting such a processing configuration, when a special hit is generated in one special figure while simultaneously changing the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the other is from the big hit determination to the end of the big hit operation. Because the fluctuation of the special figure is extended (it is configured so that the fluctuation does not end by not measuring the fluctuation time, and the next pass / fail judgment is not performed if the fluctuation does not end), both This makes it possible to prevent a big hit from occurring. Further, it is possible to preferentially process the jackpot determination of special figure 1 over the jackpot determination of special chart 2.

<About whether or not to use special symbol 1>
In the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) shown in FIG. 19, the special figure 1 operation status is determined (S150), and the process branches. When the special figure 1 operation status is “0” (“0” in S150), a special figure 1 standby process (S151) is performed, and when the special figure 1 operation status is “1” (“1” in S150). ) Performs a special figure 1 variation process (S152). When the special figure 1 operation status is "2"("2" in S150), a special figure 1 deviation confirmation process (S153) is performed. When the operation status is “3” (“3” in S150), special figure 1 big hit determination processing (S154) is performed. Hereinafter, each of these processes (S151, S152, S153, S154) will be described in order.

  In the special figure 1 standby process (S151) shown in FIG. 20, if there is a special figure 1 hold, the information on the old special special figure 1 hold is used to determine the jackpot and special special figure in FIG. Information necessary for the variable display in FIG. 1 is set, and when there is no hold in FIG. 1, a standby screen is set. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not there is a special figure 1 hold (whether or not the special figure 1 hold ball number is not "0") (S200). If there is no suspension in FIG. 1 (No in S200), it is checked whether the display 15 is in a standby screen (for example, a standby flag is ON) (S201). If the screen is a standby screen (Yes in S201), the process immediately exits the process (S151). If the screen is not a standby screen (No in S201), a standby screen setting process (S202. For example, a standby flag is set). ON), the process exits (S151).

  If special figure 1 is on hold (Yes in S200), whether special figure 2 is in a fluctuation that is a hit / fail judgment result (hereinafter referred to as a big hit fluctuation) or not (special figure 2 big hit flag is ON) (S203). When the special figure 2 is changing the big hit (Yes in S203), the special figure 1 big hit flag is turned OFF (S204). That is, all the special figure 1 retaining balls digested during the big hit fluctuation of special figure 2 are forcibly removed. When the special figure 2 is not changing the big hit (No in S203), the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S205) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S205), first, the special symbol success / failure determination disturbance obtained at the time of winning the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM). A numerical value (label-TRND-A) is loaded (S300). Next, it is checked whether or not the current state is in a high probability state (S301). If the current state is not in a high probability state (No in S301), the special symbol success / failure determination random number value (label -TRND-A) is in the low probability state. It is checked whether or not the “big hit” matches the judgment value (S302). When the random number value for determining whether the special symbol is appropriate (label-TRND-A) does not match any of the determination values, that is, when it is “out” (No in S302), the special symbol 1 big hit flag is turned OFF. (S303), the process exits (S205). In the case of a high probability state (Yes in S301), whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random value (label-TRND-A) is a “hit” that matches any of the determination values in the high probability state. Is checked (S304). When the random number for special symbol determination (label-TRND-A) does not match any of the determination values, that is, when it is “out” (No in S304), the special symbol 1 big hit flag is turned OFF. (S305), the process exits (S205). As described above, the probability of winning a “big hit” from winning the center start port 31A and the side start port 32A is 1/10 in the high probability state and 1/99 in the low probability state.

  On the other hand, in each of steps S302 and S304, when the random number value for special symbol success / failure determination (label-TRND-A) coincides with a predetermined determination value, that is, when “big hit” is won (Yes in S302 or S304) Yes), the special figure 1 big hit flag is turned ON (S306), and whether or not the type of the “big hit” is “big bonus with bonus” that allows the game ball to pass through the V confirmation opening 36A. Judgment is made and a hit command is set (S307). Specifically, for example, when the jackpot symbol random number value (label-TRAND-AZ) is a predetermined value, it is determined that the bonus jackpot with a bonus is determined. It is determined that it is not. In the case of “bonus with bonus”, the second jackpot flag is turned on, and when it is not “hit with bonus” (“bonus without bonus”), the second jackpot flag is turned off. Thereafter, the process exits (S205). In this embodiment, in step S307, it is set so as to be determined as a “hit with bonus” with a probability of 20%.

<Determination of changes in special symbol 1>
In the special figure 1 symbol selection process (S206) (see FIG. 20) performed after step S204 and the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S205), a determination symbol to be stopped and displayed on the first determination notification unit 15G is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the special figure 1 symbol selection process (S206), it is first determined whether or not the special figure 1 is a big hit (whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON) (S320). If it is a big hit (Yes in S320), the big hit symbol random number value (label-TRND-AZ) acquired (stored in RAM) at the time of winning the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A is set in the output buffer of the RAM. (S321), this process (S206) is exited. That is, the three determination symbols are set so that they all have the same symbol (sloppyness) as the jackpot symbol random value (label-TRND-AZ).

  On the other hand, if Special Figure 1 is not a big hit (No in S320), random number value for determining the left symbol (label-TRND-B1), random number value for determining the middle symbol (label-TRND-B2), and right symbol for determining from the RAM. The value of the random value (label-TRND-B3) is loaded (S322). Then, it is determined whether or not these three random numbers match (S323), and if they match (Yes in S323), the presence / absence determination of the reach acquired at the time of winning the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A is determined. It is determined whether or not a random number value for use (label-TRND-RC, hereinafter referred to as “reach random value”) matches a preset reach determination value (S324). If the reach determination value does not match (No in S324), the right symbol determining random value (label -TRND-B3) is added to the left symbol determining random value (label -TRND-B1) by one. These three symbol determination random numbers are set in the output buffer of the RAM (S326). That is, the left and middle determination symbols are set to the same symbol, and only the right determination symbol is set to be a combination of “reach without reach”. If the reach determination value matches (Yes in S324), the middle symbol determination random value (label-TRND-B2) is added to the left symbol determination random value (label-TRND-B1) by one. These three symbol determination random numbers are set in the RAM output buffer (S325). In other words, the left and right determination symbols are set to the same symbol, and the “reach out” combination is set such that only the middle determination symbol is different.

  In step S323, if the left, middle, and right random values do not match (No in S323), it is then determined whether the left and right random numbers match (S327). If the left and right random numbers match (Yes in S327), it is determined whether or not the reach random value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (S328). If it does not coincide with the reach determination value (No in S328), the process proceeds to step S326 to set so as to be a combination of “no reach”. On the other hand, if the reach random number value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (Yes in S328), the three symbol determination random number values (label-TRAND-B1, B2, B3) loaded in step S322. ) As it is in the output buffer of the RAM (S329). That is, it is set so as to be a combination of “reach off”.

  In step S327, if both the left and right random numbers do not match (No in S327), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (S330). If they do not match (No in S330), the process proceeds to step S329, where the combination of “no reach” is set. On the other hand, if it coincides with the reach determination value (Yes in S330), the right symbol determining random value (label-TRND-B3) is set to the same value as the left symbol determining random value (label-TRND-B1). The symbol determination random value (label-TRND-B2) is set to a value obtained by adding 1 to the left symbol determination random value (label-TRND-B1) and set in the RAM output buffer (S331). That is, it is set so as to be a combination of “out of reach” forcibly. If the stop display symbol of the determination symbol is determined by the above processing, the other processing (S332) is performed and this processing (S206) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 20, following the special figure 1 symbol selection process (S206), a special figure 1 variation mode selection process (S207) is executed. In this process (S207), data related to the variable display mode until the determination symbol is stopped and displayed is selected based on the result of the big hit determination or the presence or absence of reach.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, in the special figure 1 variation mode selection process (S207), first, it is checked whether or not the current state is a high probability state (S340). In the case of a high probability state (Yes in S340), it is next determined whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON (S341), and in the case of ON (Yes in S341), the fluctuation mode for "probable big hit" One variation mode data is selected from the table based on the random number value for variation mode determination (label-TRND-T) (S342).

  On the other hand, if the special figure 1 big hit flag is not ON in step S341 (No in S341), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (S343).

  When the reach is established (Yes in S343), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for "probability variation reach out" based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) ( S344). On the other hand, if the reach is not established (No in S343), one variation mode data is obtained from the variation mode table for “probability deviation without probability change” based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T). Select (S345).

  If it is not a high probability state (No in S340), then it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON (S346). If it is ON (Yes in S346), the fluctuation for "normal big hit" is determined. One variation mode data is selected based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) from the mode table (S347).

  On the other hand, if the special figure 1 big hit flag is not ON in step S346 (No in S346), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (S348).

  If the reach is established (Yes in S348), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “out of normal reach” based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) ( S349). On the other hand, if the reach is not established (No in S348), one variation mode data is obtained from the variation mode table for "normal reach-less deviation" based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T). Select (S350).

  Here, the variation time of “probability big hit” set in step S342 is 30 seconds, and the variation time of “probability deviation out of reach” and “out of probability change reach” set in steps S344 and S345 is 30 to 360 seconds, step. The fluctuation times of “normal big hit”, “normal reach miss”, and “normal reach miss” set in S347, S349, and S350 are set to 15 to 180 seconds.

  Thereafter, a command corresponding to the selected variation mode is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S351), other processing (S352) is performed, and this processing (S207) is exited. At this time, in other processing (S352), processing for setting the variation time in the special figure 1 operation timer is also performed.

<Regarding advancement of special symbol 1>
As shown in FIG. 24, the special figure 1 random number shift process (S208) is performed following the special figure 1 variation mode selection process (S207). In this process (S208), after processing the information on the hold of the oldest special figure 1, the process of raising the information on the other special figure 1 is carried out. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24, 1 is subtracted from the number of special figure 1 reserved balls (S360), and various random numbers stored in the random number storage area corresponding to the special figure 1 reserved memory in the RAM are one by one. Shift to the lower random number storage area (S361), and clear the uppermost (fourth) random number storage area (S362).

<Regarding control of fluctuations in special symbol 1>
As shown in FIG. 20, following the special figure 1 random number shift process (S208), a special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S209) is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation mode selected in the special figure 1 fluctuation mode selection process (S207) is set in the special figure 1 fluctuation start command (S370), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start command is set. Is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S371).

  As shown in FIG. 20, following the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S209), a process (S210) for setting the special figure 1 operation status to "1 (fluctuation)" is performed, and the subtraction determination process of the short time count (S211) )I do. In the time reduction count subtraction determination process (S211), the time reduction count is subtracted using the time reduction counter set in the low probability state and the time reduction state, and when the time reduction counter becomes “0”, the time reduction state is set. Exit. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 70, it is determined whether or not the time counter is “0” (S1200). If it is “0” (Yes in S1200), the process exits (S211). If the hour / hour counter remains (No in S1200), the hour / hour counter is decremented by 1 (S1201), and then it is determined whether or not the hour / hour counter is “0” (S1202). If the hour / hour counter remains (No in S1202), the process exits (S211). If the hour / hour counter is “0” (Yes in S1202), the hour / hour flag is turned OFF (S1203), the hour / hour end command is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S1204), and the number of time reduction subtraction determination processing (S211). Exit. Thereafter, the special figure 1 standby process (S151) is exited. The above is the description of the special figure 1 standby process (S151).

  Next, the special figure 1 fluctuation process (S152) in the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) (see FIG. 19) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S152), after the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 is finished, if the result of the judgment of special figure 1 is out of place, the special figure 1 operation status is set to "determined out", and in the case of a big hit Sets the operation status of Special Figure 1 to “Final Hit”. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not special figure 1 is changing (whether or not the special figure 1 operation timer is “0”) (S380), and if it is changing (No in S380). This process (S152) is exited. When the special figure 1 is not changing (Yes in S380), the basic setting of the confirmation process (for example, setting of the special figure 1 operation timer) is performed, and the special figure 1 operation status is set to "2 (determined to be out)". (S381). Next, it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON (S382). If the special figure 1 big hit flag is not ON (No in S382), the process (S152) is exited. If the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON (Yes in S382), the special figure 1 operation status is set to "3 (big hit confirmed)" (S383), and this process (S152) is exited.

  Next, the special figure 1 deviation confirmation process (S153) in the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) (see FIG. 19) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S153), after the deviation variation is confirmed, a process for returning the operation status of FIG. 1 to “standby” is performed. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (whether or not the special figure 1 operation timer is “0”) (S390), and if it has not elapsed (No in S390). , The process exits (S153). When the predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in S390), the basic setting of the standby process is performed, and “0 (standby)” is set in the operation status of FIG. 1 (S391), and the process exits (S153).

  Next, the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S154) in the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) (see FIG. 19) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S154), after determining the big hit variation, the special figure 1 operation status is set to "big hit start". Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (whether or not the special figure 1 operation timer is “0”) (S400), and if it has not elapsed (No in S400). , The process exits (S154). When the predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in S400), the jackpot operation is set, such as setting a jackpot opening command (hereinafter referred to as “hits OP command” as appropriate) in the RAM output buffer, and the special figure 1 jackpot The flag is turned OFF, the special figure 1 operation status is set to “4 (big hit start)” (S401), and this process (S154) is exited.

<About whether or not you are using special symbol 2>
Next, the variation operation process of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. The special movement process of special figure 2 is that the parameters to be referenced and set are related to special figure 2 and that the special symbol and fluctuation mode selection process (S506, S507) is different from that of special figure 1. For example, it is the same as the variation operation process of the special figure 1 shown in FIGS.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) shown in FIG. 29, the special figure 2 operation status is determined (S160), and the process branches. When the special figure 2 operation status is “0” (“0” in S160), a special figure 2 standby process (S161) is performed, and when the special figure 2 operation status is “1” (“1” in S160). ) Performs a special figure 2 variation process (S162). When the special figure 2 operation status is "2" ("2" in S160), a special figure 2 deviation confirmation process (S163) is performed. When the operation status is “3” (“3” in S160), a special figure 2 big hit determination process (S164) is performed. Hereinafter, each of these processes (S161, S162, S163, S164) will be described in order.

  In the special figure 2 standby process (S161) shown in FIG. 30, when there is a special figure 2 hold, the information on the old special special figure 2 hold is used to determine the jackpot and the special figure by special figure 2. Information necessary for the variable display of FIG. 2 is set, and when there is no hold in FIG. 2, a standby screen is set. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not there is a special figure 2 hold (whether the special figure 2 hold ball number is not “0”) (S500). If there is no hold in FIG. 2 (No in S500), it is checked whether or not the display 15 is in a standby screen (for example, a standby flag is ON) (S501). If the screen is a standby screen (Yes in S501), the process immediately exits the process (S161). On the other hand, if the screen is not a standby screen (No in S501), a standby screen setting process (S502. For example, a standby flag is set). ON) and then exit this process (S161).

  If the special figure 1 is on hold (Yes in S500), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 is undergoing a big hit change (whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON) (S503). When the special figure 1 is changing the big hit (Yes in S503), the special figure 2 big hit flag is turned OFF (S504). That is, all the special figure 2 holding balls digested during the big hit fluctuation of special figure 1 are forcibly removed. When the special figure 1 big hit flag is not ON (No in S503), a special figure 2 big hit determination process (S505) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 31, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S505), first, a random number value for determining the special symbol success / failure (label-TRND) acquired (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM) when winning the special start port 33A. -A) is loaded (S600). Next, it is checked whether or not the current state is a high probability state (S601). If the current state is not a high probability state (No in S601), the special symbol success / failure random number (label-TRND-A) is in a low probability state. It is checked whether or not the “big hit” matches the judgment value (S602). When the random number value for determining whether or not the special symbol is correct (label-TRND-A) does not match any of the determination values, that is, when it is “out” (No in S602), the special symbol 2 big hit flag is turned OFF. (S603), the process exits (S605). In the case of a high probability state (Yes in S601), whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random value (label-TRND-A) is a “big hit” that matches any of the determination values in the high probability state. Is checked (S604). When the random number value for determining whether the special symbol is appropriate (label-TRND-A) does not match any of the determination values, that is, when it is “out” (No in S604), the special symbol 2 big hit flag is turned OFF. (S605), the process exits (S505). As described above, the probability of winning the “big hit” from winning the special start opening 33A is 1/10 in the high probability state and 1/99 in the low probability state.

  On the other hand, in each step S602, S604, if the random number value for special symbol success / failure determination (label-TRND-A) coincides with a predetermined determination value, that is, if "big hit" is won (Yes in S602 or S604) Yes), the special figure 2 jackpot flag is turned ON (S606), and whether or not the type of the “hit” is “hit with bonus” that allows the game ball to pass to the V determination port 36A. Judgment is made and a hit command is set (S607). Specifically, for example, when the jackpot symbol random number value (label-TRAND-AZ) is a predetermined value, it is determined that the bonus jackpot with a bonus is determined. It is determined that it is not. In the case of “bonus with bonus”, the second jackpot flag is turned on, and when it is not “hit with bonus” (“bonus without bonus”), the second jackpot flag is turned off. Thereafter, the process exits (S505). In the present embodiment, in step S607, the probability of being determined as “bonus with bonus” is set to 100%. That is, all of the jackpots that are generated from winning the special start opening 33A are “bonus bonus with benefits”.

<Determination of changes in special symbol 2>
As shown in FIG. 30, after the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S505), the special figure 2 symbol selection process (S506) is executed. In this process (S506), the display content of the special figure 2 is determined based on the result of the determination of whether or not the big hit is made, the presence or absence of reach, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 30, after the special figure 2 symbol selection process (S506), a special figure 2 variation mode selection process (S507) is executed. In this process (S507), data related to the variable display mode of the special figure 2 is selected based on the result of the big hit determination or the presence / absence of reach.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, in the special figure 2 variation mode selection process (S507), first, it is checked whether or not the current state is a high probability state (S640). In the case of a high probability state (Yes in S640), it is next determined whether or not the special figure 2 big hit flag is ON (S641), and in the case of ON (Yes in S641), the fluctuation mode for “probable big hit” From the table, one variation mode data is selected based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) (S642).

  On the other hand, if the special figure 2 big hit flag is not ON in step S641 (No in S641), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (S643).

  When the reach is established (Yes in S643), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “probability variation reach out” based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) ( S644). On the other hand, if the reach is not established (No in S643), one variation mode data is obtained from the variation mode table for “probability deviation without probability change” based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T). Select (S645).

  If it is not a high probability state (No in S640), it is then determined whether or not the special figure 2 big hit flag is ON (S646). One variation mode data is selected based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) from the mode table (S647).

  On the other hand, if the special figure 2 big hit flag is not ON in step S646 (No in S646), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value (label-TRND-RC) matches the reach determination value (S648).

  If the reach is established (Yes in S648), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “out of normal reach” based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T) ( S649). On the other hand, if the reach is not established (No in S648), one variation mode data is obtained from the variation mode table for “regularity-less-missing” based on the variation mode determination random value (label-TRND-T). Select (S650).

  Here, the fluctuation time of “probability variation big hit”, “probability variation out of reach” and “out of probability change reach” set in steps S642, S644, S645 is 2 seconds, and “normal big hit in steps S647, S649, S650” ”,“ Out of normal reach ”, and“ out of normal reach ”are set to be 15 to 180 seconds.

  Thereafter, a command corresponding to the selected variation mode is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S651), other processing (S652) is performed, and this processing (S507) is exited. At this time, in other processing (S652), processing for setting the variation time in the special figure 2 operation timer is also performed.

<Regarding advancement of special symbol 2>
As shown in FIG. 30, the special figure 2 random number shift process (S508) is performed following the special figure 2 variation mode selection process (S507). In this process (S508), after processing the information on hold of the oldest special figure 2 is processed, the remaining information on special figure 2 is carried forward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33, 1 is subtracted from the special figure 2 reserved ball number (S660), and various random numbers stored in the random number storage area corresponding to the special figure 2 reserved memory in the RAM are one by one. Shift to the lower random number storage area (S661), and clear the highest (fourth) random number storage area (S662).

<Regarding control of fluctuations in special symbol 2>
As shown in FIG. 30, following the special figure 2 random number shift process (S508), a special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S509) is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation mode selected in the special figure 2 fluctuation mode selection process (S507) is set in the special figure 2 fluctuation start command (S670), and the special figure 2 fluctuation start command is set. Is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S671).

  As shown in FIG. 30, following the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S509), the special figure 2 operation status is set to "1 (fluctuation)" (S510), the subtraction determination process for the number of time reductions (S511), etc. After performing the processing necessary for starting the fluctuation of the special figure 2, the special figure 2 standby process (S161) is exited. The short time subtraction determination process (S511) is the same as the short time subtraction determination process (S211) executed in the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S209). The above is the description of the special figure 2 standby process (S161).

  Next, the special figure 2 fluctuation process (S162) in the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) (see FIG. 29) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S162), after the fluctuation display of special figure 2 is finished, if the result of the determination of special figure 2 is “out”, the special figure 2 operation status is set to “determined out”, and the big win Sets the special figure 2 operation status to "big hit confirmed". Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not special figure 2 is changing (whether or not the special figure 2 operation timer is “0”) (S680), and if it is changing (No in S680). , The process exits (S162). When the special figure 1 is not changing (Yes in S680), the basic setting of the confirmation process (for example, setting of the special figure 2 operation timer) is performed, and the special figure 2 operation status is set to "2 (determined to come off)". (S681). Next, it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 big hit flag is ON (S682). If the special figure 2 big hit flag is not ON (No in S682), the process (S162) is exited. If the special figure 2 big hit flag is ON (Yes in S682), "3 (big hit confirmed)" is set in the special figure 2 operation status (S683), and this process (S162) is exited.

  Next, the special figure 2 deviation confirmation process (S163) in the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) (see FIG. 29) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S163), after the deviation variation is confirmed, a process for returning the special figure 2 operation status to "standby" is performed. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (whether or not the special figure 2 operation timer is “0”) (S690), and if it has not elapsed (No in S690). , The process exits (S163). When the predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in S690), the basic setting of the standby process is performed, and “0 (standby)” is set in the operation status of FIG.

  Next, the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S164) in the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) (see FIG. 29) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S164), after the hit fluctuation is determined, the special figure 2 operation status is set to "big hit start". Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (whether or not the special figure 2 operation timer is “0”) (S700), and if it has not passed (No in S700). , The process exits (S164). When the predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in S700), the big hit operation is set, the special figure 2 big hit flag is turned OFF, and the special figure 2 operation status is set to "4 (start of big hit)" (S701). ), This process (S164) is exited.

<Outline of control of jackpot operation>
The special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) shown in FIG. 18 will be described based on FIG. As shown in the figure, in this process (S131A), first, the special winning-in-mouth process (S170) in the special figure 1 is executed, then the special figure 1 operation status is determined (S171), and the process is branched. When the special figure 1 operation status is “4” (“4” in S171), special figure 1 big hit start processing (S172) is performed, and when the special figure 1 operation status is “5” (S171, “5” )), The special figure 1 big prize mouth opening process (S173) is performed, and when the special figure 1 operation status is "6"("6" in S171), the special figure 1 big prize mouth closing process 1 (S174). ) And the special figure 1 operation status is “7” (“7” in S 171), the special figure 1 big prize mouth closing 2 process (S 175) is performed, and the special figure 1 operation status is “8”. In some cases ("8" in S171), special figure 1 big hit end processing (S176) is performed.

  The special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, in this process (S131B), first, the special prize upper special winning mouth process (S180) is executed, then the special figure 2 operation status is judged (S181), and the process is branched. When the special figure 2 operation status is "4" ("4" in S181), special figure 2 big hit start processing (S182) is performed, and when the special figure 2 operation status is "5" (S181 "5") )), The special figure 2 big prize mouth opening process (S183) is performed, and when the special figure 2 operation status is “6” (“6” in S181), the special figure 2 big prize mouth closing 1 process (S184). ) And the special figure 2 operation status is “7” (“7” in S181), the special figure 2 big prize closing 2 process (S185) is performed, and the special figure 2 operation status is “8”. In some cases ("8" in S181), special figure 2 big hit end processing (S186) is performed.

  Hereinafter, each of these processes (S170, S180, S172, S173, S174, S175, S176, S182, S183, S184, S185, S186) will be described in order. In the subsequent processing, the jackpot according to the special figure 1 and the jackpot according to the special figure 2 are the same. The words related to are described by omitting “Special Figure 1” and “Special Figure 2” such as “Kyodai Prize Mouth Processing” and “Operation Status”.

<About the setting of the jackpot operation and control of the top prize winning opening>
In the upper-award winning mouth process (S170, S180) shown in FIG. 40, after the game ball has won the second attacker mouth 35A (denoted as the “upper-award winning mouth” in the flowchart), the V confirmation opening 36A (in the flowchart). Judgment is made as to whether or not it has passed (denoted as “probability variation region”) Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the second attacker port 35A can win a prize (whether the big hit is being performed and the round counter is “2”) (S710), and the second attacker port 35A is not able to win a prize. (No in S710) exits this process (S170, S180). When the second attacker port 35A can win a prize (Yes in S710), a probability variation region solenoid operation process (S711) is executed.

  In the probability variation region solenoid operation process (S711) shown in FIG. 41, setting whether or not to perform the opening / closing operation of the entry restricting member 36B (denoted as “probability variation region solenoid” in the flowchart) and the passage of the V determination port 36A is performed. I do. After the start of the big hit game, the entry restricting member 36B performs an opening / closing operation over time that is not linked to the opening / closing state of the attacker door 35T. Further, whether or not to detect the passage of the V determination port 36A is also changed over time. Table 4 summarizes the opening / closing operation and detection determination. Validity / invalidity of the open / close state and detection determination is determined by the probability variation region operation counter, and the probability variation region operation counter is counted up when the probability variation region execution time elapses.

  The probability variation region solenoid operation process (S711) shown in FIG. 41 will be described in detail. In the probability variation region solenoid operation process (S711), first, a probability variation region operation counter is loaded from the RAM (S720), and whether or not the operation of the entry restricting member 36B has been completed (whether the probability variation region operation counter is "10" or more). (S721), and when the operation of the entry restricting member 36B has been completed (Yes in S721), the process exits (S711). When the entry restricting member 36B is operating (No in S721), it is determined whether or not there is a remaining time for the current operation (whether or not the probability variation region execution time is not “0”) (S722). If there is time (Yes in S721), the process exits (S711). If there is no remaining time for the current operation (No in S722), the probability variation region operation counter is incremented by 1 (S723), and the probability variation region operation counter after the addition is loaded from the RAM (S724). Next, it is determined whether or not the V determination port 36A detects the passage of the game ball (whether or not the passage determination corresponding to the probability variation area operation counter is valid) (S725), and if not detected (No in S725). , The process exits (S711). When the V confirmation opening 36A detects the passing of the game ball (Yes in S725), the probability variation area valid flag is turned on (S726), and the process (S711) is exited.

  Returning to FIG. 40, in the upper-award winning mouth processing (S170, S180), after the probability variation area solenoid operation processing (S711), whether or not the game ball has passed the V confirmation port 36A (whether or not the probability variation area switch has been detected). (S712). If it has not passed through the V determination port 36A (No in S712), the process (S170, S180) is exited. When the game ball has passed through the V determination port 36A (Yes in S712), it is determined whether or not the V determination port 36A detects the passage of the game ball (whether or not the probability variation area valid flag is ON) (S713). ), When the passage of the game ball is not detected (No in S713), the process (S170, S180) is exited. When the V determination port 36A detects the passing of the game ball (Yes in S713), the probability variation area passing flag is turned ON (S714), and the process (S170, S180) is exited. That is, the game ball passing through the V determination port 36A is effective only when the game ball passes through the V determination port 36A and the V determination port 36A is in a state of detecting the passage of the game ball.

  Next, the special figure 1 big hit start process (S172) in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) (see FIG. 38) and the special figure 2 big hit start process in the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) (see FIG. 39) (S182) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S172, S182), the round setting of the big hit game and the setting of the big winning opening corresponding to the round are performed. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not the opening time has ended (whether or not a predetermined time set in the jackpot opening command has elapsed since the start of the jackpot opening) (S730). If the opening time has not ended (No in S730), the process (S172, S182) is exited. When the opening time is over (Yes in S730), a round setting process (S731) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the round setting process (S731), first, it is determined whether or not a round remains (whether or not the effective number of rounds is 1 or more) (S740), and when no round remains (S740). No), this process (S731) is exited. When the round remains (Yes in S740), 1 is added to the number of rounds (S741), 1 is subtracted from the effective number of rounds (S742), and the process (S731) is exited. In the present embodiment, the initial value of the number of rounds is set to “0”, and the initial value of the number of effective rounds is set to “2”.

  As shown in FIG. 42, following the round setting process (S731), a special winning opening operation setting process (S732) is performed. In this process (S732), as shown in FIG. 44, first, a winning prize opening to be opened is set corresponding to the number of rounds (S750). Specifically, when the number of rounds is “1”, the lower major prize opening (first attacker port 34A, shutter plate 34T) is set, and when the number of rounds is “2”, the upper major prize opening ( The second attacker port 35A and the attacker door 35T) are set. Next, a big winning opening round corresponding to the type of jackpot is set (S751). Specifically, when the second big hit flag is ON (bonus with bonus) and the number of rounds is “2” (upper big prize opening), the long big hit (see Table 5) is set in the RAM and the second big hit is set. When the flag is OFF (no bonus with no special benefits) and the number of rounds is “2” (upper prize winning opening), a short jackpot setting (see Table 6) is performed in the RAM. When the number of rounds is “1” (lower big prize opening), setting for lower big prize opening is performed in the RAM.

  As shown in Tables 5 and 6, at the time of bonus with bonus, the attacker door 35T repeats the operation of closing for 0.1 second after opening for 1 second 22 times. On the other hand, at the time of a big hit without a privilege, the attacker door 35T opens only once for 1 second. In addition, as shown in Table 4, the entry restricting member 36B that restricts entry into the V confirmation opening 36A is opened for about 0.1 seconds after 0.1 second from the start of the big hit, and then closed for about 3 seconds. For about 26 seconds. Thereby, at the time of big hit with a privilege, the game ball that has entered the second attacker port 35A can pass through the V confirmation port 36A with high probability. On the other hand, the entry restricting member 36B is closed at almost the timing at which the game ball can enter the second attacker port 35A at the time of the big hit without a privilege, and the game ball does not pass through the V determination port 36A (difficulty) Is configured).

  Following the setting of the big prize round (S751), it is determined whether or not the big prize opening set in the setting of the big prize round is the top prize winning mouth (whether the number of rounds is “2”) (S752). If the upper prize winning opening is not set (No in S752), the process exits (S732). When the top prize opening is set in the big prize round setting (Yes in S752), the probability variation area operation counter value is loaded from the RAM (S753), and the operation time of the entry restricting member 36B (Table 4). The execution time corresponding to the probability variation area operation counter is set in the RAM (S754). At this time, the probability variation area operation counter has an initial value “0”. Thereafter, this process (S732) is exited.

  Returning to FIG. 42, after the big winning opening operation setting process (S732), the operation status is set to “5 (open big winning opening)” (S733), and the big hit starting process (S172, S182) is exited. The above is the description of the jackpot start process (S172, S182).

  Next, the special figure 1 big hit opening process (S173) in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) (see FIG. 38) and the special figure 2 big in the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) (see FIG. 39). The winning opening opening process (S183) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S173, S183), the round end determination and the opening / closing operation of the attacker door 35T are set. Specifically, first, a special winning opening switch detection process (S760) is performed. In the big winning opening switch detection process (S760), as shown in FIG. 46, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the big winning opening (S770), and if the gaming ball has not won the big winning opening ( In S770, No), this process (S760) is exited. When the game ball has won a big winning opening (Yes in S770), 1 is added to the number of winning a big winning opening (S771), and this process (S760) is exited.

<End of jackpot operation>
As shown in FIG. 45, following the big prize opening switch detection process (S760), it is determined whether or not the number of big prize winning prizes has reached a predetermined number (whether or not it is ten or more) (S761). If it has not reached (No in S761), it is determined whether or not the round time has elapsed (S762).

  When the number of winning prizes has not reached the specified number and the round time has not elapsed (No in S761 and No in S762), that is, when the round is continuing, setting of the second attacker port 35A Is determined (whether the number of rounds is “2”) (S763). If the second attacker port 35A is set (Yes in S763), the second attacker port 35A It is determined whether the operating time has elapsed (S764). When the operation time of the second attacker port 35A has elapsed (Yes in S764), the upper prize winning port action counter is decremented by 1 (S765), and whether or not the big hit game at the upper prize winning port has ended. It is determined (whether or not the upper prize winning counter operation counter is “0”) (S766). When the big hit game at the top prize winning opening continues (No at S766), the top prize winning opening / closing setting process (S767) is performed. In the top prize winning opening / closing setting process (S767), as shown in FIG. 47, the top prize winning opening operation counter is loaded (S780), and the second attacker opening 35A corresponding to the top winning prize opening operation counter and the type of jackpot is obtained. Is set (S781), and the upper prize winning opening / closing setting process (S767) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 45, when the second attacker port 35A is not set, the operation time of the second attacker port 35A has not elapsed, or the top prize winning port operation counter is “0” (S763 No, or No in S764 or Yes in S766), the big prize opening process (S173, S183) is exited. In addition, when the number of winning prizes reaches the specified number, or when the round time has elapsed (Yes in S761 or Yes in S762), it is determined that the round has ended, and data on the closing of the winning prize 1 (for example, large The winning opening is closed for 1 hour (S768), the operation status is set to "6 (Large winning opening closed 1)" (S769), and the process exits (S173, S183). The above is the description of the special winning opening opening process (S173, S183).

  Next, the special figure 1 big winning opening closing process 1 (S174) in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) (see FIG. 38) and the special figure 2 in the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) (see FIG. 39). The big prize closing 1 process (S184) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S174, S184), a predetermined time is waited. Specifically, in this process (S174, S184), first, whether or not the 1 hour closing of the big prize opening has ended (after setting the 1 hour closing of the big prize opening, the data of the big winning opening closing 1 is set. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S790). If the one-hour closing of the big prize opening has not ended (No in S790), the process (S174, S184) is exited. When the 1 hour closing of the big prize opening is over (Yes in S790), data of closing the big prize opening 2 (for example, 2 hours closing of the big prize opening) is set (S791), and the operation status is set to “7 (big prize winning). Mouth closure 2) "is set (S792), and the process (S174, S184) is exited.

  Next, the special figure 1 big winning opening closing process 2 (S175) in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) (see FIG. 38) and the special figure 2 in the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) (see FIG. 39). The big prize closing 2 process (S185) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S175, S185), if there is a remaining round, the next round is set, and if there is no remaining round, the setting necessary for the big hit ending is performed. Specifically, first, whether or not the two hours closing of the special winning opening has ended (whether or not a predetermined time set in the data of the closing of the special winning opening 2 has elapsed since the setting of the two closing hours of the special winning opening) (S800). If the two-hour winning prize closing time has not ended (No in S800), the process (S175, S185) is exited.

  When the two hours closing of the big prize opening is over (Yes in S800), it is determined whether or not there is a round (whether or not the number of effective rounds is “0”) (S801), and the round remains. In (No in S801), as the setting of the next round, a round setting process (S802) is performed, a big winning opening operation setting process (S803) is performed, and “5 (opening a big winning opening)” is set in the operation status. (S804), the process exits (S175, S185). The round setting process (S802) and the big prize opening action setting process (S803) are the same as the round setting process (S731) and the big prize opening action setting process (S732) in the big hit starting process (S172, S182). .

  If no rounds remain (Yes in S801), data is set in the jackpot ending command (hereinafter referred to as “hit ED command” as appropriate) (S805), and “8 (End of jackpot)” is set in the operation status. (S806) The big hit ED command is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S807), and the process exits (S175, S185). The above is the description of the special winning opening closing 2 process (S175, S185).

  Next, the special figure 1 big hit end process (S176) and the special figure 2 big hit end process in the special figure 1 big hit action process (see FIG. 38) and the special figure 2 big hit action process (S131B) (see FIG. 39) The process (S186) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S176, S186), after the big hit ending is completed, the game state after the big hit game is set, and the flags and counters used in the big hit operation are initialized. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not the big hit ending has ended (whether or not a predetermined time set in the big hit ED command has elapsed since the start of the big hit ending) (S810). If the big hit ending has not ended (No in S810), the process exits (S176, S186).

<Determination of gaming status after jackpot game>
When the big hit ending has ended (Yes in S810), it is determined whether or not the big hit is a “big hit with a bonus” (whether or not the second big hit flag is ON) (S811). If it is (Yes in S811), it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the V confirmation opening 36A (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is ON) (S812). When a game ball enters the V confirmation opening 36A (Yes in S812), data setting with a high probability time is set (S813), and when no ball is entered (No in S812), a low probability time A data setting is performed (S814). If it is not a “hit with bonus” (No in S811), it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the V confirmation opening 36A (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is ON) (S815). When a game ball enters the final opening 36A (Yes in S815), data setting is performed with no high probability time (S816), and when no ball is entered (No in S815), there is no low probability time. Is set (S817). In the present embodiment, only when there is a low probability of short time (a big hit with a bonus and a game ball does not enter the V confirmation opening 36A) (S814), the setting for the short time is set (for example, the short time flag is ON). Then, set 90 times in the hourly time counter).

  After setting the game state after the big hit game (S813, S814, S816, S817), the flags and counters used for the big hit operation are initialized (S818), and the main control state command is set in the RAM output buffer. Then, “0 (standby)” is set as the operation status (S820), and the process exits (S176, S186). The above is the description of the special operation process (S14) in the interrupt process (S5).

<Notification to the sub-control circuit of the number of reserved balls and power-off monitoring processing>
Returning to FIG. 14 and continuing the description, the reserved ball number processing (S15) is performed after the special operation processing (S14) described above. This processing (S15) is shown in FIG. 51, and the number of special figure 1 reserved balls (the number of holdings of the special symbol 1 for variable display), the number of special figures 2 reserved balls (the number of the special symbol 2 for holding the variable display) , And the number of normal symbols held (the number of times the normal symbol variation display is held) is loaded from the RAM (S825), and the data of the number of held balls is set in the RAM output buffer as a hold command (S826).

  The power-off monitoring process (S16) performed after the reserved ball number process (S15) is shown in FIG. 52, and whether or not a power-off signal has been input (in this embodiment, the power-off state has continued for 12 ms). Is determined (S830). If the power-off signal is input (Yes in S830), the current data is backed up to the RAM (S831), and the power-off flag is turned on (S832).

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the interrupt process (S5), after the power-off monitoring process (S16), another process (S17) not deeply related to the present invention is executed, and the interrupt process (S5) is exited. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the processes of steps S2 to S4 are repeatedly executed until the next interrupt pulse is input, and the interrupt process (S5) is performed again due to the input of the interrupt pulse (after about 4 msec). Run. Then, as described above, various commands set in the output buffer of the RAM in the previous interrupt process (S5) are output in the command process (S10) of the interrupt process (S5) executed next. This completes the description of the internal processing of the main control circuit.

<Sub control circuit main program>
The processing of the sub control circuit main program PG2 executed by the sub control circuit will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the sub control circuit main program PG2, first, CPU initialization processing (S30) is performed. In this process, an interrupt process to be described later is set. When power is turned on to the power supply board, a power-off signal is transmitted from the power supply board to the sub-control circuit. When this power-off signal is transmitted, it is determined whether the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM are normal (S31). If normal (yes in S31), the process proceeds to the next. If not normal (no in S31), the RAM 52 is initialized and various flags and counter values are reset (S32). Note that these steps S30 to S32 are executed only when the sub control circuit main program PG2 is run for the first time after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

  When the initial setting is completed through S30 to S32, interruption is prohibited (S33), and random number seed update processing (S34) is executed. Next, command transmission processing (S35) for transmitting various commands to the display control circuit, lamp control circuit, and voice control circuit is executed, and interrupt permission (S36) is performed. These processes (S33 to S36) are repeated in an infinite loop.

  Reception interrupt processing (S37), 2ms timer interrupt processing (S38), and 10ms timer interrupt processing (S39) are interrupted and executed for the infinite loop of the sub control circuit main program PG2. When the sub control circuit receives the strobe signal from the main control circuit, the reception interrupt process (S37) is executed in preference to the other interrupt processes (S38, S39). The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S38) is executed in preference to the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S39), and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S39) is executed by interrupting the remaining time between the 2 ms timer interrupt processes (S38). The

  As shown in FIG. 54, in the reception interrupt process (S37), first, the strobe signal is checked (S900). If the strobe signal is not ON (No in S900), the process exits (S37) as it is. If the strobe signal is ON (Yes in S900), the command and control signal received from the main control circuit (data relating to variation mode and special symbol determination) are stored in the RAM (S901).

  The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S38) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a 2 msec period is input to the sub-control circuit. As shown in FIG. 55, in this process (S38), an input process (S910), a ramp data output process (S911), a drive process (S912), and a special figure 1 variation time update process (S913) are performed.

  In the input process (S910), edge data and level data (switch data) of an operation switch for presentation (not shown) provided in the gaming machine 10 are created. In the lamp data output process (S911), the lamp data created in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S39) described later is output. In the drive process (S912), drive data for driving an unillustrated electric accessory is created and output. In the special figure 1 fluctuation time update process (S913), the remaining fluctuation time of the special figure 1 (hereinafter referred to as the special figure 1 fluctuation time) stored in the RAM of the sub-control circuit when the game state is other than the big hit game. Decrease. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 64, first, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is being played (whether or not a big hit flag is ON) (S1070). The process exits the one variation time update process (S913). If it is not a big hit game (No in S1070), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 is changing (whether or not the special figure 1 fluctuation time is "0") (S1071), and if it is not changing (S1071). No), this process (S913) is exited. When the special figure 1 is changing (Yes in S1071), the special figure 1 fluctuation time is subtracted by 2 [ms] (S1072), and the special figure 1 fluctuation time update process (S913) is exited.

  The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S39) is repeatedly executed with an interval of 10 msec. As shown in FIG. 56, in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S39), the main command analysis process (S920) and the fluctuation scenario process (S921) are executed in order.

<Main command analysis processing>
Details of the main command analysis processing (S920) are shown in FIG. In this process (S920), first, it is determined whether or not the sub control circuit has received a command from the main control circuit (S930). If a command has been received (Yes in S930), the type of the received command (hereinafter referred to as “reception command” as appropriate) is determined, and processing is executed based on the content. The types of received commands are determined in the order of special figure 1 variation command, special figure 1 winning command, special figure 1 hold command, main control state command, jackpot OP command, jackpot ED command, and After the process based on the received command is executed or when there is no process to be executed based on the received command (No in S930 or No in S941), after the received command is determined, the other process corresponding to the received command (S943) is executed. The In other processing (S943), for example, when a special figure 2 fluctuation command is received, the special figure 2 fluctuation command process is executed. Although the special figure 2 fluctuation command processing is not shown, the fluctuation time of special figure 2 is set.

  Specifically, when the received command is the special figure 1 fluctuation command (Yes in S931), the special figure 1 fluctuation command process (S932) is executed, and when the received command is the special figure 1 winning command (Yes in S933), the special figure 1 fluctuation command processing is executed. The winning command process (S934) in FIG. 1 is executed, and in the case of the special figure 1 hold command (Yes in S935), the special figure 1 hold command process (S936) is executed, and in the case of the main control state command (Yes in S937). The main control state command processing (S938) is executed, the big hit OP command processing (S940) is executed for the big hit OP command (Yes in S939), and the big hit is issued for the big hit ED command (Yes in S941). ED command processing (S942) is executed. Hereinafter, each processing will be described.

<Special Figure 1 Variation Command Processing>
First, the special figure 1 fluctuation command process (S932) executed when the received command is the special figure 1 fluctuation command (Yes in S931 in FIG. 57) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S932), the basic setting of the extra effect, the effect of the special symbol 1 and the execution of the change are performed. More specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is “short state with probability change” (whether the main control state flag is “probability change”) (S950), and the current gaming state is “short state with probability change”. If not (No in S950), the process proceeds to other processing (S958) corresponding to the received command. When the current gaming state is “short state with probability change” (Yes in S950), the quotient obtained by dividing the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 fluctuation command by 15,000 [ms] (for example, the fluctuation time is 30 seconds) Is set to the effect block (S951), the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 fluctuation command is set to the special figure 1 fluctuation time (S952), and "0" is set to the fluctuation scenario timer.

<Main control timer>
Next, main control timer update 1 processing (S954) is executed. In the main control timer update 1 process (S954), if there is a “big hit” in the determination result of the special figure 1 held in the “short state when there is a certain change”, the special figure until the big hit game is started. All of the one variation time is set in the main control timer. When the determination result of the special figure 1 held in the “short state when there is a certain change” is only “out”, the whole fluctuation time of the special figure 1 is set in the main control timer. Here, the main control timer is the above-described “basic remaining time” stored in the RAM of the sub-control circuit. In addition, as the determination result of the special figure 1 that is put on hold, those corresponding to the gaming states of the high probability state and the low probability state are both set. It is assumed that the determination result is determined according to the gaming state when referring to the result.

  In the main control timer update 1 process (S954), as shown in FIG. 65, a value obtained by multiplying the production block by 15,000 [ms] is set in the main control timer (S1080), and the current fluctuation is the big hit fluctuation. (S1081), and when the current fluctuation is a big hit fluctuation (Yes in S1081), the process exits (S954). If the current fluctuation is not a big hit fluctuation (No in S1081), after setting the loop variable to “0” (S1082), it is determined whether the loop variable is smaller than the special figure 1 hold number (S1083), While the loop variable is smaller than the special figure 1 hold number (Yes in S1083), the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time [loop variable] is added to the main control timer (S1084), and the special figure 1 hold big hit information [loop variable] is removed. Whether or not (S1085: Yes), the loop variable is incremented by 1 (S1086), and the process is repeated. Here, [loop variable] indicates the “loop variable + 1” -th element of the array. (For example, when the loop variable is 0, the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time [loop variable] indicates the first or first element of the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time.) The loop variable is not smaller than the special figure 1 hold number. If the special figure 1 reservation jackpot information [loop variable] is not deviated (No in S1085), the process (S954) is exited. Although not shown, the hold information acquired when the current main control state flag is “certainly changed” and the game state is “normal” in the hold information of FIG. 1 in the addition process of the main control timer in step S1084. Is set, the “minimum value of the selected variation time” is set based on the information on the success / failure. In this embodiment, the minimum fluctuation time of “win” and “out” is set to 30 seconds.

  As shown in FIG. 58, following the main control timer update 1 process (S954), the fluctuation scenario flag is turned ON (S955), and the fluctuation end flag is turned OFF (S956).

<About the notification of hit cancellation>
After the change end flag is set (S956), special effect determination processing (S957) is executed. In the special effect determination process (S957), is an effect that notifies that the hit in Special Figure 1 that is disadvantageous to the player has been lost (the above-mentioned “notification of hit cancellation”, hereinafter referred to as a special effect) is executed? Determine whether or not to perform special effects.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 71, it is first determined whether or not the determination result of the received special figure 1 fluctuation command is “displaced” (S1210). If it is “disappeared” (Yes in S1210), Next, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the oldest hold in FIG. 1 (special 1 winning command [0]. Command for winning the received special figure 1 variation command) is “big hit” (S1211). If the special figure 1 fluctuation command is not “out” or the oldest hold in FIG. 1 is not “big hit” (No in S1210 or No in S1211), the process exits (S957). If the result of the special command 1 fluctuation command is “out” and the result of the oldest hold in FIG. 1 is “big hit” (Yes in S1210 and Yes in S1211), a special effect is executed ( S1212), the process exits (S957). In this way, in the special effect determination process (S957), the hold where the winning / failing determination result at the time of winning at the center start port 31A and the side start port 32A is “hit” becomes “disappear” at the time of fluctuation display of FIG. If it has turned, a special effect is executed (S1212). The content of the special effect may be any notification as long as it is informed that the state advantageous to the player has been continued and the crisis has been avoided. For example, the above-described additional effect also serves as the special effect. May be.

  Returning to FIG. 58, after the special effect determination process (S957), or when the current game state is not “short state with probability change” (when the main control state flag is not “probability change”, No in S950), the received command The other process corresponding to is executed (S958), and the process exits (S932). The above is the description of the special figure 1 fluctuation command process (S932).

<Special Figure 1 Award Command Processing>
Next, the special figure 1 winning command process (S934) executed when the received command is the special figure 1 winning command (Yes in S933 in FIG. 57) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S934), the winning information in FIG. 1 is stored in the RAM as the hold information in FIG.

  Specifically, it is determined whether there is a vacancy in the special figure 1 hold (whether the special figure 1 hold number is smaller than 4) (S1090), and when the special figure 1 hold has reached the upper limit ( In S1090 No), this process (S934) is exited. When there is a vacancy in the special figure 1 hold (Yes in S1090), the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 winning command is set in the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time [number of special figure 1 hold] (S1091). The result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 winning command is successful is set in the reserved jackpot information [number of special figure 1 held] (S1092), and the process exits (S934). As described above, since both the high / low probability status determination results are set in the special figure 1 winning command, both the positive / negative determination results are also set in the special figure 1 pending jackpot information. . Although not shown, in the special figure 1 winning command process (S934), the gaming state of the special figure 1 winning command is also set in the RAM.

<About updating the hold information>
Next, the special 1 hold command process (S936) executed when the received command is the special 1 hold command (Yes in S935 of FIG. 57) will be described based on FIG. In the special 1 hold command process (S936), the hold information is changed according to the increase / decrease in the number of balls held (the number of times the special symbol 1 is changed) at the center start port 31A and the side start port 32A. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the holding has increased (whether or not the value obtained by adding 1 to the number of the special 1 holding balls is equal to the number of the holding balls in the received command) (S960), and the holding increases. In (Yes in S960), the main control timer update 1 process (S961) is executed. The main control timer update 1 process (S961) is the same as the main control timer update 1 process (S954) executed in the special figure 1 variable command process (S932) described above. Thereafter, this process (S936) is exited.

  If the hold has not increased (No in S960), it is determined whether or not the hold has decreased (whether or not the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the number of special 1 held balls is equal to the number of held balls in the received command). If the number of suspensions decreases (Yes in S962), the subsequent process is performed. If the number of reservations does not decrease (No in S962), the process exits (S936). As a process in the case where the number of holdings decreases (Yes in S962), a shift process for moving up the holding information one by one is performed. Specifically, first, “0” is set in the loop variable (S963). Then, it is determined whether or not the loop variable is smaller than 3 (S964). While the loop variable is smaller than 3 (Yes in S964), the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time [loop] is added to the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time [loop variable]. Variable + 1] is set (S965), special figure 1 hold jackpot information [loop variable] is set to the value of special figure 1 hold jackpot information [loop variable + 1] (S966), and 1 is added to the loop variable (S967). ) Repeat the process. When the loop variable becomes smaller than 3 (No in S964), “0” is set to the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time [3] (the end of the special figure 1 hold fluctuation time) (S968), and the special figure 1 hold big hit information is set. [3] “Exit” is set in (the tail end of the special figure 1 holding jackpot) (S969), and the process exits (S936). Note that, as described above, in the special figure 1 reserved jackpot information, both the high / low probability state determination results are set. Although not shown, in the special 1 hold command process (S936), information on the game state of the special figure 1 hold is also shifted. The above is the description of the special 1 hold command process (S936).

<About game status update>
Next, the main control state command process (S938) executed when the received command is the main control state command (Yes in S937 in FIG. 57) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S938), the game state is set. Since the main control state command is always sent after the end of the big hit game, the end of the big hit game is also set in this process (S938). Specifically, the game state after the big hit game is set (the main control state flag of the received main control state command is set as the main control state flag of the RAM, S980), and the big hit flag is turned off (S981). Next, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is not “short state without probability change” (whether or not the main control state flag is “short time”) (S982), and when the gaming state is not “short state without probability change” (S982). In “Yes”, the time reduction effect flag is set to “None” (S983), and the process exits (S938). If the gaming state is “short state when there is no certain change” (No in S982), the “short time effect” flag is set to “not implemented” (S984), and the process exits (S938).

<About jackpot OP command processing>
Next, the jackpot OP command processing (S940) executed when the received command is a jackpot OP command (Yes in S939 in FIG. 57) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S940), when the big hit is according to FIG. 1, the normal big hit effect is executed in the low probability state and the probable big hit effect is executed in the high probability state according to the gaming state. If the big hit is due to the special figure 2 and the gaming state is in a low probability state, the special big hit effect same as the big hit in the special figure 1 is executed unless the special figure 1 is changing. If FIG. 1 is changing, a special jackpot effect is executed. In the present embodiment, for example, the letter “V” is displayed on the display 15 for the normal jackpot effect, and the letter “V” is displayed on the display 15 for the special jackpot effect. Fluctuations are displayed.

  Specifically, first, the big hit flag is turned ON (S990), and it is determined whether or not the big hit OP command is due to the big hit in FIG. 1 (S991). If it is due to the big hit in the special figure 1 (Yes in S991), the variable effect setting initialization of the special figure 1 is performed and the big hit effect is transmitted to the liquid crystal (S1001). At this time, if the gaming state is in a low probability state, a normal jackpot effect is transmitted, and if the gaming state is in a high probability state, a probability variation jackpot effect is transmitted. Thereafter, this process (S940) is exited. It should be noted that the specific contents of the variable effect setting initialization in FIG. 1 are set to “0” in the effect block (S992), “0” in the main control timer (S993), “0” is set (S994), the variable scenario timer is set to “0” (S995), the variable scenario flag is turned off (S996), the liquid crystal timer is set to “0” (S997), and the effect timer is “0”. Is set (S998), "0" is set for the additional time (S999), and "0" is set for the additional time (S1000).

  When the big hit OP command is not due to the big hit in FIG. 1 (No in S991), it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the normal state (whether or not the main control state flag is “normal”) (S1002). ) If this is not the normal state (No in S1002), the process exits (S940). When the gaming state is the normal state (Yes in S1002), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 is changing (whether or not the special figure 1 changing time is “0”) (S1003). In (Yes in S1003), a normal jackpot effect is transmitted to the liquid crystal (S1004), and the process exits (S940). The normal jackpot effect transmitted in this transmission process (S1004) is the same as the normal jackpot effect transmitted in the low probability state in the transmission process (S1001) of the jackpot effect by the jackpot in FIG. is there. When the special figure 1 is changing, a special jackpot effect is transmitted to the liquid crystal (S1005), and the process exits (S940). The above is the description of the jackpot OP command processing (S940).

<About jackpot ED command processing>
Next, the big hit ED command processing (S942) executed when the received command is the big hit ED command (Yes in S941 in FIG. 57) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S942), the information of the jackpot that has been completed is displayed on the display 15, and whether there is an abnormality is checked. If there is an abnormality, an abnormality notification lamp is set. The abnormality here is a case where the passage of the game ball through the V determination port 36A is detected by “a bonus without bonus”. In the present embodiment, as the information of the jackpot that has been completed, whether the jackpot is according to Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2 (in the case of Special Figure 1, the blue display area for Special Figure 1 and in the case of Special Figure 2 is special. The red display area in FIG. 2), the V confirmed opening 36A was not passed in the “bonus with bonus” (“L” was displayed in the display area), and the V determined opening 36A was passed in the “bonus without bonus”. ("S" is displayed in the display area) is displayed.

  Specifically, it is first determined whether or not the jackpot ED command is based on the special figure 1 (S1010). If the jackpot ED command is based on the special figure 1 (Yes in S1010), the jackpot information special figure 2 is grayed out. It is set (S1011), and it is determined whether or not the big hit is “big hit with bonus” (denoted as “long open” in the flowchart) (whether or not the second big hit flag of the big hit ED command is ON) (S1012). If the big hit is a “big hit with a bonus” (Yes in S1012), it is then determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the V confirmation opening 36A during the big hit game (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is ON). (S1013). When the game ball has passed through the V confirmation opening 36A (Yes in S1013), “blue square” is set in the jackpot information special figure 1 (S1014). If the game ball does not pass through the V determination port 36A during the big hit game (No in S1013), “blue square + L” is set in the big hit information special figure 1 (S1015). If the big hit is not a “big hit with a bonus” (No in S1012), then whether or not the game ball has not passed through the V confirmation opening 36A during the big hit game (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is OFF). Determination is made (S1016). If the game ball does not pass through the V confirmation opening 36A (Yes in S1016), “blue square” is set in the jackpot information special chart 1 (S1017). When the game ball passes through the V determination port 36A during the big hit (No in S1016), “blue square + S” is set in the big hit information special figure 1 (S1018), and the abnormality notification lamp is set (S1019). .

  If the jackpot ED command is not according to the special chart 1 (No in S1010), the jackpot information special chart 1 is set to gray out (S1020), and whether or not the jackpot is the "jacket with bonus" (whether the jackpot ED command Whether or not the second big hit flag is ON) (S1021). If the jackpot is a bonus jackpot with a bonus (Yes in S1021), then it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the V confirmation port 36A during the jackpot game (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is ON). (S1022). When the game ball has passed through the V confirmation opening 36A (Yes in S1022), “red square” is set in the jackpot information special map 2 (S1023). When the game ball does not pass through the V determination port 36A during the big hit game (No in S1022), “red square + L” is set in the big hit information special figure 2 (S1024). If the big hit is not a “big hit with a bonus” (No in S1021), then whether or not the game ball has not passed through the V confirmation opening 36A during the big hit game (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is OFF). Determination is made (S1025). When the game ball does not pass through the V confirmation opening 36A (Yes in S1025), “red square” is set in the big hit information special figure 2 (S1026). When the game ball passes through the V determination port 36A during the big hit game (No in S1025), “red square + S” is set in the special jackpot information special figure 2 (S1027), and the abnormality notification lamp is set (S1028). ). This abnormality notification lamp setting process (S1028) is the same as the above-described abnormality notification lamp setting process (S1019) executed at the time of a bonus without big bonus according to FIG.

  After the jackpot information special chart 1 or jackpot information special chart 2 setting process (S1014, S1015, S1017, S1018, S1023, S1024, S1026, S1027) and the abnormality notification lamp setting process (S1019, S1028), The information special figure 1 is transmitted to the liquid crystal (S1029), the jackpot information special figure 2 is transmitted to the liquid crystal (S1030), and the process (S942) is exited. The above is the description of the big hit ED command processing (S942).

<Variation scenario processing (execution judgment of extra production)>
Returning to FIG. 56, the fluctuation scenario process (S921) performed after the main command analysis process (S920) will be described. In this process (S921), at the time of execution of the fluctuation scenario effect (in the “short state when there is a certain change”), it is determined whether or not the additional effect is executed every 15 seconds, the additional time, and the content of the additional effect. For the additional time and the additional effect, a length that does not exceed the basic remaining time when added to the “liquid crystal display time” is selected.

  Here, the variables used in the fluctuation scenario process (S921) and the extra lottery process (S1053) described later will be described. In these processes (S921, S1053), these processes (S921, S1053) are performed in addition to the above-described main control timer representing the basic remaining time and the special figure 1 fluctuation time which is the remaining time of fluctuation of special figure 1. A fluctuation scenario timer that manages the timing (every 15 seconds) to be performed, which is obtained by dividing the scheduled fluctuation time of FIG. 1 every fixed time (15 seconds), and a production block that represents the number of remaining addition lotteries in the fluctuation of FIG. A liquid crystal timer that manages “liquid crystal display time” and an effect timer that manages the length of the extra effect are used.

  Next, the basic flow of processing performed using these variables will be described. When the sub-control circuit receives a special figure 1 fluctuation command that means the fluctuation start of special figure 1 in the “short state when there is a certain change”, in the special figure 1 fluctuation command process (S932), the determination result and the fluctuation time are displayed. In response, the main control timer, special figure 1 variation time, and production block are set. In the fluctuation scenario process (S921), the lottery process is executed every 15 seconds while the original fluctuation time in FIG. 1 elapses. The determination of the lapse of time and the lapse of 15 seconds is performed using the effect block and the fluctuation scenario timer. In the extra lottery process, the extra time and the extra effect are lottery based on the main control timer and the liquid crystal timer, the liquid crystal timer and the extra timer are set based on the results, and the extra effect is executed. Note that the main control timer, the effect block, the liquid crystal timer, and the effect timer are subtracted before the extra lottery process every 15 seconds. On the other hand, the special figure 1 variation time is subtracted every 2 milliseconds (except during the big hit game), and the variation scenario timer is decremented every 10 milliseconds.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 63, first, it is determined whether or not the current fluctuation is the target of the fluctuation scenario process (whether or not the fluctuation scenario flag is ON) (S1040). In S1040, No), this process (S921) is exited. If the current variation is the subject of variation scenario processing (Yes in S1040), it is determined whether or not the determination timing is every 15 seconds (whether or not the variation scenario timer is “0”) (S1041). If it is not the determination timing (No in S1041), the fluctuation scenario timer is subtracted by 10 [ms] (S1042), and the process (S921) is exited. When the determination timing is every 15 seconds (Yes in S1041), “15,000 [ms] (= 15 seconds)” is set in the fluctuation scenario timer (S1043), and the initial fluctuation time in FIG. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed (whether or not the production block is “0”) (S1044). When the initial fluctuation time of special figure 1 has elapsed (No in S1044), special figure 1 fluctuation time when the production block is “0” (extension time of fluctuation of special figure 1 due to jackpot in special figure 2) ) Is 15 seconds or longer (whether or not the special figure 1 fluctuation time is 15,000 [ms] or more) (S1049), and when the special figure 1 fluctuation time is 15 seconds or more (Yes in S1049). Executes the main control timer update 2 process (S1050).

  In the main control timer update 2 process (S1050) shown in FIG. 67, the quotient obtained by dividing the remaining fluctuation time of the currently executed special figure 1 fluctuation by 15,000 [ms] is set as the effect block (S1110). The control timer update 1 process (S1111) is executed, and this process (S1050) is exited. This main control timer update 1 process (S1111) is executed by the main control timer update 1 process (S954) executed in the special figure 1 variable command process (S932) and the special 1 hold command process (S936). This is the same as the main control timer update 1 process (S961).

  When the variation time of FIG. 1 has not elapsed (Yes in S1044) and after performing the main control timer update 2 process (S1050), it is determined whether or not the liquid crystal timer is “0” (S1045). If the liquid crystal timer is not "0" (Yes in S1045), 15,000 [ms] is subtracted from the liquid crystal timer (S1046). Next, it is determined whether or not the effect timer is “0” (S1047). If the effect timer is not “0” (Yes in S1047), the effect timer is subtracted 15,000 [ms] (S1048).

  Next, 1 is subtracted from the effect block (S1051). At this time, if not immediately after the main control timer is updated (received fluctuation command in “short state when there is a certain change”, received hold command for increase in holding, and recalculation of main control timer after the initial fluctuation time in FIG. When any of the processes is performed and the effect block is subtracted twice or more), the main control timer may be subtracted for 15 seconds. Next, it is determined whether or not an extra effect is being made (whether or not the effect timer is “0”) (S1052). If an extra effect is being made (No in S1052), this process (S1050) is exited. If it is not during the extra effect (Yes in S1052), an extra lottery process (S1053) is executed.

<Additional lottery processing>
In the extra lottery process (S1053) shown in FIG. 68, a lottery is performed for the time to be added in the extra effect and the effect to be executed, the setting for the effect is updated, and the extra effect is executed. However, when the game state is “short time without probability change”, the additional effect is not executed, the setting of the variable effect in FIG. 1 is initialized, and the “liquid crystal display time” is set to 0 seconds. Perform the production.

  Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the short-time effect is not executed (whether or not the short-time effect flag is “None”) (S1120), and when the short-time effect is not executed (Yes in S1120), a lottery for the extra effect is drawn. To send information on the effect to the liquid crystal control. Specifically, “the value obtained by subtracting the liquid crystal timer (“ liquid crystal display time ”)” from the “main control timer (the remaining time until the big hit game in FIG. 1 is started)” is set as the possible extra time (S1121). Then, an extra time that is less than or equal to the time that can be added is set by lottery (S1122), an extra effect that is less than the liquid crystal timer is selected by lottery, and the effect time is set in the effect timer (S1123). Next, “the value obtained by adding the extra time to the liquid crystal timer and subtracting the effect timer” is set as the “liquid crystal display time” (S1124) and transmitted to the liquid crystal control (S1125). Next, the effect timer and the extra effect are transmitted to the liquid crystal control (S1126, S1127), and the extra time set in step S1122 is added to the liquid crystal timer (S1128). Thereafter, the process exits (S1053).

  When the time reduction effect is executed (No in S1120), it is determined whether or not the time reduction effect has been executed (whether or not the time reduction effect flag is “not implemented”) (S1129), and if it has been executed (No in S1129). ) Exits this process (S1053). If the time reduction effect is not implemented (Yes in S1129), the setting of the variable effect of FIG. 1 is initialized, the time reduction effect is transmitted to the liquid crystal control (S1139), and the time reduction effect flag is set to “none”. (S1140), the process exits (S1053). The specific contents of this setting initialization are “0” set in the effect block (S1130), “0” set in the main control timer (S1131), and “0” set in the special figure 1 variation time (S1132). The variable scenario timer is set to “0” (S1133), the variable scenario flag is turned off (S1134), the liquid crystal timer is set to “0” (S1135), the effect timer is set to “0” (S1136), and can be added. “0” is set for the time (S1137), and “0” is set for the extra time (S1138). The contents of this setting initialization are the same as the contents (S992 to S1000) set in the case of the big hit of special figure 1 in the big hit OP command processing (S940 in FIG. 61).

  Returning to FIG. 63, the explanation will continue and the original fluctuation time of special figure 1 has elapsed (No in S1044), and special figure 1 fluctuation time when the production block is “0” (according to jackpot in special figure 2) If the variation extension time in FIG. 1 is less than 15 seconds (No in S1049), no additional effect is performed, and the liquid crystal timer and the effect timer are subtracted after the variation in FIG. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the change end flag is OFF (S1054). If the change end flag is OFF (Yes in S1054), the change end flag is turned ON (S1055), and this process (S921). Exit. If the variation end flag is not OFF (No in S1054), it is determined whether or not the liquid crystal timer is “0” (S1056). If the liquid crystal timer is not “0” (Yes in S1056), the liquid crystal timer is set. Subtract 15,000 [ms] (S1057). Next, it is determined whether or not the production timer is “0” (S1058). If the production timer is not “0” (Yes in S1058), the production timer is subtracted 15,000 [ms] (S1059), This process (S921) is exited. The above is the description of the fluctuation scenario process (S921).

<Adjustment of “LCD display time”>
By the way, the subtraction of the special figure 1 variation time stops during the big hit game according to the special figure 2 and reflects the extension of the fluctuation of the special figure 1 due to the big hit game according to the special figure 2, whereas “liquid crystal display time” Is always counted down regardless of the game state. For this reason, when the fluctuation of the special figure 1 is extended, even if the “liquid crystal display time” becomes zero, the fluctuation of the special figure 1 continues and there is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable. In the present embodiment, when the fluctuation of the special figure 1 is extended for a certain time (15 seconds) or more, the extended time is reflected in the main control timer at the timing when the original fluctuation of the special figure 1 ends, Since the minute time can be added to the “liquid crystal display time”, after the “liquid crystal display time” becomes zero, the fluctuation of the special figure 1 continues for a long time, thereby preventing the player from feeling uncomfortable. Is possible.

  In addition, the liquid crystal timer for managing the “liquid crystal display time” is basically subtracted by 15 seconds every time 15 seconds elapse. If the extension time is not divisible by 15 seconds, the liquid crystal timer is 15 seconds at the start of the next fluctuation in FIG. Only subtracted. Therefore, a time difference that cannot be divided between the “liquid crystal display time” and the liquid crystal timer occurs. In the present embodiment, the extra time is selected by lottery based on the main control timer and the liquid crystal timer at the time of the extra effect, and the “liquid crystal display time” is reset based on the result. Thus, when the extra effect is executed, the difference between the “liquid crystal display time” and the liquid crystal timer is eliminated. At this time, it is the “liquid crystal display time” that is displayed after the deviation is eliminated, so that the deviation between the “liquid crystal display time” and the liquid crystal timer can be eliminated without giving the player a sense of incongruity. Is possible.

<About liquid crystal control processing>
This completes the description of the internal processing of the sub control circuit. Next, processing of the liquid crystal control program PG3 executed by the liquid crystal control circuit in an infinite loop will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the liquid crystal control program PG3, first, it is determined whether or not the liquid crystal control circuit has received a command from the sub control circuit (S50). If a command has been received (Yes in S50), the type of information included in the received command (hereinafter referred to as “liquid crystal reception information” as appropriate) is determined and displayed or processed based on the content. I do. The type of liquid crystal reception information is determined in the order of jackpot OP information, jackpot symbol information, and production information.

  Specifically, it is determined whether or not the liquid crystal reception information is jackpot OP information (S51). If the information is jackpot OP information (Yes in S51), the jackpot OP is displayed on the liquid crystal (S52). When the liquid crystal reception information is not jackpot OP information (No in S51), it is determined whether or not the liquid crystal reception information is jackpot symbol information (S53), and in the case of jackpot symbol information (Yes in S53), the liquid crystal jackpot symbol is determined. Is displayed (S54). If the liquid crystal reception information is not jackpot symbol information (No in S53), it is determined whether or not the liquid crystal reception information is production information (S55), and if it is production information (Yes in S55), the production is displayed on the liquid crystal. (S56). If the liquid crystal reception information is not effect information (No in S55), other processing (S57) corresponding to the liquid crystal reception information is executed. The above is the description of the liquid crystal control program PG3.

  The display 15, the second determination notification unit 25, the main control circuit for executing the special operation process (S14), and the sub control circuit for executing the main command analysis process (S920) are the “determination effects” of the present invention. It corresponds to “means”. Further, the main control circuit for executing the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) and the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) corresponds to the "big hit game execution means" of the present invention, and the main command analysis process (S920). ) And the fluctuation scenario process (S921) correspond to the “remaining time effect execution means” of the present invention, and the main control timer update 1 process (S954, 961, 1111) and the main control timer update.
