Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Pachinko game machine effectively notifies or suggests a jackpot to game players, the Pachinko game machine capable of executing a retention read-ahead presentation.SOLUTION: When it becomes clear that among winning/losing determination results to be executed on a main control unit side, a result to become a winning is included, certain random numbers, with which the winning/losing determination is executed prior to the random numbers related to the winning, temporarily stored in random number temporary storage means are determined their winning/losing. As identification information to be determined upon this determination, a specific mode that is a stop mode at least a part thereof is same as a prescribed mode and that is not selected when the result of the winning/losing determination is not a winning can be determined.

Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

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

Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, the hold pre-reading effect is one of them, and the content of the hold ball (the hold random number value) that has not yet been permitted to change the symbol is checked in advance, and the hold ball that has a high probability of jackpot ( In the case where there is a trigger hold), the effect is a notice technique that predicts or suggests a jackpot in a symbol variation that is digested before the holdball that is likely to be a jackpot.

  However, since such a technique has been widely used, development of a model that can realize further innovative gameplay is desired. For example, in Patent Document 1, it is determined in advance whether or not a lottery result in a pending state is a winning result, and when there is a winning result, a symbol variation display indicating the winning result is present. Is disclosed as a technique for outputting the number of the start of the image on the external display device. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for simultaneously generating a countdown effect at the time of execution of a pre-reading effect. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a technique for notifying that a big hit will be made before the on-hold digestion when there is a big hit in the hold during a special game. However, in such a technique, it may not always be effective in terms of effectively predicting or suggesting a jackpot to the player. The situation still remains.

Form to carry out

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

  The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 complex machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other gaming machines {for example, conventional 1st type, 2nd type, 3rd type, general pachinko gaming machines such as general electric players, and revolving type gaming machines (so-called slot It is also within the scope of the present invention when applied to a machine)}. Note that this embodiment is merely an example, the location and function of each means, the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to the following aspects. In addition, the above-described embodiments and modified examples should not be understood as being limited to being applied to specific items, and may be in any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification example of an embodiment is a modification example of another embodiment, and even if one modification example and another modification example are described independently, there is the modification example. It should be understood that a combination of the modified example and another modified example is also described.

First, the “main game probability change game state” in the present embodiment refers to a state in which the winning probability of transition to a special game is higher than that of the “main game normal game state” (the main game symbol probability change flag is on). Also, the “main game short game state” refers to a state in which the main game symbol variation time is relatively shorter than the “main game normal game state” (the main game symbol short time flag is on). As will be described later, the “auxiliary game symbol time flag” is also turned on under the situation of the main game short game state. As shown in this example, the main gaming state after the special game is configured to be uniquely determined based on the main gaming state at the time of winning and the winning symbol. In addition, in the main game game state after the special game, in the case of the main game probability change game state, there is no limit on the upper limit number of times so that the game can continue until the next big hit (the time is shortened in the case of time reduction) Until the next jackpot for games). On the other hand, in the case of the main game short game state (and the non-main game probability change game state), the game is configured to continue for a predetermined upper limit number of times. Here, when paying attention to the game state after the special game, in this embodiment, 7A = 7B = 3A-3 = 3B-3 = 3A-2 = 3B-2 = 3A-1 = 3B-1> 1A- It is possible to indicate whether or not the gaming state is advantageous for the player by a magnitude relationship such as 3 = 1B-3 = 1A-2 = 1B-2 = 1A-1 = 1B-1 = 2A = 2B. .

  As shown in Tables 7 and 8, the winning ball that the player can expect when the hit occurs is 7A = 7B> 3A-3 = 3B-3> 3A-2 = 3B-2> 3A-1 = 3B-1> 1A-3 = 1B-3> 1A-2 = 1B-2> 1A-1 = 1B-1> 2A = 2B. In other words, when the symbol attribute in Table 3 is replaced, in this embodiment, “per probability variation 16R”> “per probability variation 12R”> “per probability variation 10R”> “per probability variation 8R”> “per normal 8R”> “normal” In the order of “per 4R”> “normally per 2R”> “small hit”, the number of winning balls that the player can expect when the hit occurs is increased. As will be described later, on the side of the effect control means 2320, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined based on the symbol attribute.

In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on various parameters. In step 1507, the specific game control means 1180 uses the information related to the previous winning symbol and the game state temporarily stored in the game-related information temporary storage unit 1190 (game content determination information storage area) as the current winning symbol. And information on the current gaming state. This game state information is used when determining the game state after the end of the special game. Here, in the present embodiment, information at the timing before the special game end determination process is executed (for example, the winning symbol and the gaming state at the timing when the special game execution permission flag is turned on in step 1446 of FIG. 10). Information) is temporarily stored as information on the current winning symbol and game state. This is because, if the state after the specific game end determination process is temporarily stored, for example, when winning in the last short time, the short time number = 0 and the short time flag is turned off is temporarily stored. is there. However, the gaming state at the time of processing in step 1507 in FIG. 12 may be temporarily stored. This completes the special game content setting process.

  Next, in step 1508, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not the current hit is not a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage means 1191b and determines whether or not the main game symbol probability change flag is on. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the main game symbol probability change flag in the flag area of the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b.

  Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage unit 1191b and determines whether or not the main game symbol time flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game control means 1180 accesses the flag area of the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b and turns off the main game symbol time flag. Next, in step 1519, the specific game control unit 1180 accesses the flag area of the auxiliary game side temporary game state temporary storage unit 1192b and turns off the auxiliary game symbol time flag. Next, in step 1520, the specific game control means 1180 clears the main game symbol time-count counter 1181b and sets the time-saving count to zero. In step 1528, the condition determination unit 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). In the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). In the case of No in step 1508 and in the case of No in step 1516, the process proceeds to step 1528, and in step 1510. If no, the process proceeds to step 1516.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game start display instruction information) instructing the start display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the prize ball payout process in step 5000).

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

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

  Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game execution means 1173 resets the round execution timer 1174a. Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the round is the final round (for example, 15 rounds for big wins, 1 round for small wins). It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game end display instruction information) for instructing the end display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side. In step 9000, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game-related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and acquires the symbol information and game state information that triggered this time. In addition, the main game state is determined by referring to the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a, and the determined main game state is set in the main game side temporary storage unit 1191b (main game pattern). Set the probability variation flag and main game symbol time flag on / off). Next, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and displays the symbol information and the game state information that triggered this time. After the acquisition, the auxiliary game state is determined with reference to the auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b, and the determined auxiliary game state is set in the auxiliary game side temporary storage unit 1192b (auxiliary game) The symbol time flag is turned on / off), and the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 15 is a main flowchart 5000 showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 5200, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display control process to be described later. Next, in step 5400, the effect control unit 2320 executes a hold prefetch effect execution availability / continuous effect display content determination process, which will be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control unit 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display control processing described later. Next, in step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 5200. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the hold information management / hold display control process according to the subroutine of Step 5200 in FIG. First, in step 5202, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a, and determines whether or not new hold information is received from the main control device 1000 side. If Yes in step 5202, in step 5204, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b adds (increments) 1 to the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Next, in step 5206, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b temporarily stores the winning order and the main game side random number related to the hold information received from the main control device 1000 side in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Remember. Next, in step 5208, the hold prefetch control means 2322d is based on the newly reserved main game side random number (particularly the first or second winning random number) and the game state at the time when the new hold is consumed. Referring to the main game content prior determination reference table 2322d-1, whether or not the main game symbol related to the new hold is determined in advance. Next, in step 5210, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d refers to the main game content pre-determination based on the pre-determined success / failure result and the main game-side random number (particularly the first or second main game symbol determination random number). With reference to the table 2322d-1, a stop symbol and a symbol attribute of the main game symbol relating to the new hold are determined in advance. Next, in step 5212, the hold prefetch control unit 2322d temporarily stores the predetermination result as predetermination information in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. In step 5230, the drawing hold information display control means 2322b displays the same number of hold as the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1, and the next processing {hold prefetching in step 5400 Proceed to execution / non-execution / continuous production display content determination processing}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5202, in step 5220, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main information temporary storage unit 2321a, and receives new symbol information (in other words, symbol from the main controller 1000 side). It is determined whether or not a change is started. In the case of Yes in step 5220, in step 5222, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. Next, in step 5224, the figure hold information display control unit 2322b deletes the main game-side random number related to the symbol variation from the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and the preliminary determination information related to the symbol variation. Is deleted from the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and the winning order related to the remaining hold information (preliminary determination information) is decremented by one (decrement). In step 5226, the effect control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 5230. In the case of No in step 5220, the process proceeds to the next process {probability of execution of pre-reading effect in step 5400 / continuous effect display content determination process}.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of hold prefetch effect execution availability / continuous effect display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 5400 of FIG. First, in step 5402, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152b-1, and determines whether or not a new hold has occurred. In the case of Yes in step 5402, in step 5404, the continuous effect display content determination unit 2322e-1 determines whether or not the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is off. Here, the continuous performance execution continuation flag is a flag that is turned on when a continuous performance is generated (continuous performance) over a plurality of symbol variations. In the case of Yes in step 5404, in step 5406, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 refers to the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines the preliminary determination information (particularly, the result of the success / failure) related to the new hold. get. Next, in step 5410, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 determines whether or not the new hold is scheduled to be hit (hit hold). In the case of Yes in step 5410, in step 5412, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 refers to the pre-determined information temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and before the digestion of the hit hold. It is determined whether there is a loss hold of “1” or more. In the case of Yes in step 5412, in step 5414, the continuous effect display content determination unit 2322e-1 determines the pertinent hold as a hold (trigger hold T) that triggers the generation of the continuous effect. Next, in step 5416, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 determines the number of holds until the determined trigger hold T (for example, when hold that is the third digestion order is determined as the trigger hold). Is set to 3), and is set to the continuous effect execution number counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 5600, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 executes a continuous effect display content determination process to be described later. Next, in step 5420, the continuous effect display content determination means 2322e-1 turns on the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and performs the next process {first decoration of step 6100 (1)]. The process proceeds to the symbol display content determination process}. In the case of No in step 5402, step 5404, step 5410, or step 5412, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display content determination process in step 6100 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of continuous effect display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 5600 of FIG. First, in step 5602, the temporary display symbol attribute determining unit 2322e-1-1 refers to the preliminary determination information temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and determines the preliminary determination information related to the trigger hold T. (Especially symbol attributes) is acquired.

The temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “per probability variation 10R” as the symbol attribute at the time of the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous display in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The effect design attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area} is temporarily stored, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  Next, in step 5608, if the symbol attribute temporarily stored in the continuous effect symbol attribute temporary storage area (Ck-th area) in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is “per probability 10R”, in step 5630. The temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “per probability variation 8R” as the symbol attribute at the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous display in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The effect design attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area} is temporarily stored, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  Next, in step 5608, if the symbol attribute temporarily stored in the continuous effect symbol attribute temporary storage area (Ck-th area) in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is “per probability 8R”, in step 5640. The temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “normally per 8R” as the symbol attribute at the time of the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The effect design attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area} is temporarily stored, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  Next, in step 5608, if the symbol attribute temporarily stored in the continuous effect symbol attribute temporary storage area (Ck-th area) in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is "per normal 8R", in step 5650 The temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “normally per 4R” as the symbol attribute at the time of the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous display in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The effect design attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area} is temporarily stored, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  Next, in step 5608, if the symbol attribute temporarily stored in the continuous effect symbol attribute temporary storage area (Ckth area) in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is “normally per 4R”, in step 5660. The temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “normally per 2R” as the symbol attribute at the time of the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous display in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The effect design attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area} is temporarily stored, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  Next, in step 5608, if the symbol attribute temporarily stored in the continuous effect symbol attribute temporary storage area (Ck-th area) in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is “normally per 2R”, in step 5670. The temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “small hit” as the symbol attribute at the time of the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous effect in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Temporary storage is performed in the symbol attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area}, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  Next, if the symbol attribute temporarily stored in the continuous effect symbol attribute temporary storage area (Ck-th area) in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is “small hit” in step 5608, in step 5680, The temporary display symbol attribute determining unit 2322e-1-1 determines the symbol attribute “small hit” as the symbol attribute at the time of the (Ck−1) th continuous effect, and the continuous effect symbol in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The attribute is temporarily stored in the attribute temporary storage area {(Ck−1) th area}, and the flow shifts to step 5692.

  After executing the above processing, in step 5692, the temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 subtracts 1 from the repetitive control counter value Ck in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 5694, the temporary display symbol attribute determining means 2322e-1-1 determines whether the repeated control counter value Ck after the subtraction is 1, in other words, the symbol for Cg times which is the number of continuous effects. It is determined whether or not the attribute setting process is completed. If Yes in step 5694, the process proceeds to the next process (step 5420). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5694, the process proceeds to step 5608, and the symbol attribute setting process is repeated.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the first and second decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 6100 in FIG. Here, since step 6100 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6100 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6106, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 determines whether or not the continuous production execution continuation flag in the production display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6106, in step 6108, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 is temporarily stored in the continuous effect design attribute temporary storage area {Ckth area} in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Get attribute. Next, in step 6110, the figure display content determination unit 2322a-1 changes the stop pattern of the decorative symbol {becomes a winning symbol (main symbol) corresponding to the symbol attribute} based on the acquired symbol attribute and the variation mode. {In this example, it is determined so-called total rotation fluctuation displayed in a state where the winning symbols (main symbols) are aligned}, and the determined content is temporarily stored in the symbol related information temporary storage means 2322c. Temporarily store in the area. Next, in step 6112, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 determines whether or not the repetitive control counter value Ck and the continuous effect execution count counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c are not the same value. Then, it is determined whether or not the current symbol variation is not the symbol variation related to the trigger hold T. In the case of Yes in step 6112, in step 6114, the drawing display content determination means 2322 a-1 displays a symbol that represents a loss as additional information (a stop additional symbol that is a sub symbol) that is different from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol (for example, "X" symbol) is set in the additional symbol temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6116, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 adds 1 to the repetitive control counter value Ck in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6150, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 turns on the symbol content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and performs the next process {first decoration symbol in step 6200 (1). Display control processing}.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6112, in other words, if the current symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the trigger hold T, in step 6120, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 stops the decorative symbol addition symbol. The symbol representing the winning (for example, “◯” symbol) is set in the additional symbol temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6122, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 turns off the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322 c, and proceeds to step 6150.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6106, in step 6130, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 is based on the symbol information received from the main controller 1000 side, and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1. In addition, with reference to the stop symbol determination lottery table 2322a-1-2, the decoration pattern variation mode and stop symbol are determined, and the determined contents are stored in the symbol related information temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Memorize temporarily. Next, in step 6132, the figure display content determination unit 2322a-1 determines whether or not the symbol variation is lost based on the symbol information received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6132, in step 6134, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 displays the symbol representing the loss (for example, “x” symbol) as the decoration added stop symbol, the temporary display display related information unit The additional symbol temporary storage area in 2322c is set, and the process proceeds to Step 6150. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6132, in step 6136, the drawing display content determination means 2322 a-1 displays a symbol representing a hit (for example, “○” symbol) as a stop additional symbol of the decorative symbol. The additional symbol temporary storage area in the information temporary storage unit 2322c is set, and the process proceeds to Step 6150. In the case of No in step 6102, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display control process in step 6200 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the first and second decorative symbol display control processing according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since step 6200 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6200 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6204, in step 6206 and step 6208, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c and sets the symbol content determination flag. Turn off. Next, in step 6210, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a follows the determination contents temporarily stored in the symbol related information temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and the drawing display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310. The display of the decorative symbols is started.

  In step 6212, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 a refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2121 a and determines whether stop symbol information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6213, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the drawing on the effect display device 2310 based on the contents set in the additional symbol temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. A stop additional symbol of the decorative symbol is displayed on the part 2311. Next, in step 6214, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a follows the determination contents temporarily stored in the symbol related information temporary storage area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, on the drawing display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310. To confirm and display the stop symbol of the decorative symbol. In step 6216, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300).

  If NO in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212. If NO in step 6204 and step 6212, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the special game (during big hit) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and determines whether or not special game start display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6308, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit start display on the effect display device 2310, and proceeds to step 6310.

  Next, in step 6310, the display control means 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side. Next, in step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not special game end display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200). Transition. If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in steps 6304 and 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200).

  Next, the effect | action in this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, FIG. 22 is an example showing an operation on the display when a continuous effect occurs in the present embodiment. In this example, the operation is shown by dividing the operation at the time of trigger hold occurrence (first left column in the figure) and the operation from the first change to the fourth change in the continuous production occurrence (the second to fifth columns in the figure). Hereinafter, each operation will be described in detail. In this example, all the holds other than the trigger hold are assumed to be lost hold.

  First, the first column on the left side will be described. There are two holds on the first main game side (holding 1: first in winning order, second holding: third in winning order), and two on the second main gaming side. Under the situation of (holding 1: second in winning order, holding 2: fourth in winning order), the first main game side symbol variation having the holding in the first winning order is started (first to second steps). Stage). Here, when the symbol variation is started, the first main game side holding 1 which is the earliest winning order is digested, and the remaining holding winning order is decremented by 1, respectively. Next, in the situation where the symbol is changing, when a new hold (hold 2: winning order 4th) that becomes a hit hold ("per probability change 12R") occurs in the hold on the first main game side, A new hold is determined as the trigger hold T, and the contents of the continuous performance until the trigger hold T is consumed are determined internally (second to third steps). Further, when determining the contents of the continuous effect, the design attribute of the first variation of the continuous effect is “per normal 8R” and the pattern of the second variation of the continuous effect is attributed to the fact that the trigger suspension is “per probable variation 12R”. It is determined that the attribute is “per probability variation 8R”, the symbol attribute of the third variation of the continuous effect is “per probability variation 10R”, and the symbol attribute of the fourth variation of the continuous effect is “per probability variation 12R”. Since the symbol variation is a symbol variation at the time when the loss is suspended, and is a symbol variation when the continuous production has not been executed, after the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, a stop display is displayed at “245”, which is a losing eye. (3rd to 4th stages). In addition, after the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, “x” indicating that the game has been lost is stopped and displayed in the stop additional symbol display area.

  Next, the second column on the left side of the figure will be described. There are two holds on the first main game side (holding 1: second in winning order, holding 2: fourth in winning order, trigger hold T), second main game Under the circumstance where there are two holdings (holding 1: first in winning order, second in winning order: third in winning order), the symbol variation on the second main game side having the first winning order is held. (First stage to second stage). Next, in a situation where the symbol is changing, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, a total rotation variation that is variably displayed in a state where the winning symbols are aligned occurs (second to third steps). Next, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed since the occurrence of the total rotation variation, the symbol attribute of the first variation of the continuous effect is determined to be “normally per 8R”, so that it becomes a winning symbol. The display is stopped at “888” (third to fourth steps). In addition, after the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, “x” indicating that the game has been lost is stopped and displayed in the stop additional symbol display area.

  Next, the third column on the left side of the figure will be described. There are two holds on the first main game side (hold 1: winning order first, hold 2: winning order third and trigger hold T), second main game. Under the situation where there is only one hold on the side (holding 1: second in winning order), the first main game side symbol variation having the holding in the first winning order is started (first to second steps) ). Next, in the situation where the symbol is changing, after the predetermined symbol change time has elapsed, the full rotation change occurs again (second to third steps). Next, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed since the occurrence of the total rotation variation, the symbol attribute of the second variation of the continuous effect is determined to be “per probability variation 8R”, so that the winning symbol is “111” Stop display is displayed (third to fourth steps). In addition, after the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, “x” indicating that the game has been lost is stopped and displayed in the stop additional symbol display area.

  Next, the fourth column on the left side will be described. One hold on the first main game side (holding 1: second in winning order and trigger hold T), and one hold on the second main game side (hold) 1: First winning order, the symbol variation on the second main game side having the first winning order is on hold (first stage to second stage). Next, in the situation where the symbol is changing, after the predetermined symbol change time has elapsed, the full rotation change occurs again (second to third steps). Next, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed since the occurrence of the total rotation variation, the symbol attribute of the third variation of the continuous effect is determined to be “per probability variation 10R”. Stop display is displayed (third to fourth steps). In addition, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, “x” indicating a loss in the stop additional symbol display area is stopped and displayed.

  Next, the fifth column on the left side of the figure will be described. Under the situation where there is one hold on the first main game side (hold 1: first win order and trigger hold T) and no hold on the second main game side. The symbol variation on the first main game side having the hold which is the earliest winning order is started (first stage to second stage). Next, in the situation where the symbol is changing, after the predetermined symbol change time has elapsed, the full rotation change occurs again (second to third steps). Next, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed since the occurrence of the total rotation variation, the symbol attribute of the fourth variation of the continuous effect is determined to be “per probability variation 12R”, so that “333” as the winning symbol Stop display is displayed (third to fourth steps). Then, after the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, “○” indicating that the symbol variation is a hit in the stop additional symbol display area is stopped and displayed based on the symbol variation relating to the trigger hold T. Become.

  As described above, in this embodiment, all the stop symbols of the decorative symbols from the first to fourth variation of the continuous performance are stopped and displayed in the winning symbols. In addition, the winning symbol that is stopped and displayed changes as “888” → “111” → “555” → “333” as the continuous performance progresses. It is recognized that the number of winnings that can be expected at the time of occurrence is increasing.

  Here, in the continuous production in the conventional gaming machine, there are many that adopt a method in which the degree of expectation that becomes a big hit increases as the continuous production progresses. However, with such a technique, it may be difficult for the player to watch the content of the performance in the middle of the continuous performance. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine of the type in which the probability variation game continues until the next jackpot occurrence, such as per odd symbol in this example, the player recognizes that the next jackpot will occur within a short period of time. Therefore, the meaning of increasing the degree of expectation for the big hit by the continuous performance is diminished. Therefore, such a problem can be solved by suggesting that the number of winning balls that can be expected by the continuous production increases as in this embodiment.

  In this example, for convenience of explanation, the stop additional symbol display area is illustrated as having a position, size, etc. that are easily visible to the player. However, the display is not limited to this, and it is difficult for the player to visually recognize. It is preferable from the viewpoint of improving the fun of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the first type and first type multi-function machine is premised. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to other pachinko gaming machines having a hold prefetch function. However, in the case of assuming the first type first type multifunction peripheral, it is desirable to configure so that the prior determination result related to the trigger hold T does not change. For example, in a pachinko gaming machine of a type (so-called priority digestion type) that is preferentially digested with respect to one of the main game side of the first main game side or the second main game side, When a continuous production is generated with the main game side hit hold as the trigger hold, the fluctuation of the symbol related to the main game side hit hold that is preferentially consumed is being executed before the trigger hold is consumed. It is possible to interrupt. And, when the symbol attribute of the main game side hit hold which becomes the priority digest is different from the main game side hit hold which becomes the non-priority digest (for example, the former is “per normal 2R” and the latter is “per probability 16R”) ), There is a possibility that the symbol attribute related to the content of the continuous performance is different from the symbol attribute related to the jackpot that actually occurs. From this point of view, in this embodiment, in the first type and first type multi-function machine, the symbol variation is started sequentially in the order of entering the first main game start port 2210 or the second main game start port 2110. By configuring as described above, it is ensured that the prior determination result related to the trigger hold T does not change.

  In the present embodiment, when deciding whether or not to perform continuous production, the decision is made based on the determination result of whether or not a new hold that is a hit hold has occurred (see step 5410 in FIG. 17). However, the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, an example can be given in which the execution of the continuous performance is determined based on the symbol attribute and the number of holds related to the hit hold when a new hold that becomes a hit hold occurs. . For example, (1) a lottery of whether or not to perform a continuous effect based on the number of holds is performed so that the probability that the continuous effect is executed increases as the number of holds increases. (2) The symbol attribute is advantageous to the player. (3) These are configured to perform a lottery of whether or not to perform a continuous production based on the design attributes so that the probability that the continuous production will be executed increases in the case of a big jackpot (for example, in the case of “probable hit”). It is configured to perform a lottery of whether or not to perform a continuous production based on the combination of (1) and (2) (for example, the probability that the continuous production is executed is high when the number of holdings is large and “probable hit”). Etc.

  In the present embodiment, when determining the design attributes that are the contents of the continuous performance, as the continuous performance progresses, the design attributes are “small hit” → “normally per 2R” → “normally per 4R” → “normal” Although it is configured to change regularly (per 8R) → per 8R / probability → per 10R / probability → 12R per probable change → per 16R per probable change (see FIG. 18), it is not limited to this. . In that case, based on the number of holds until the trigger is held, the symbol attribute related to the trigger hold, and the gaming state, the continuous production content (design attribute) is provided in advance, and the continuous production is performed based on the reference table. It may be configured to execute.

Here, Table 11 is an example of a reference table (temporary display symbol attribute determination reference table) used when determining the contents of the continuous effect. As shown in the first row in this example, when a small hit occurs in the situation of the probability variation gaming state, the symbol attribute changes from “normally per 2R” to “small hit” May be. When configured in this way, in terms of expected appearances that can be obtained in special games, the relationship is “normally per 2R”> “small hit”, but in terms of the possibility that the probability variation gaming state will continue. , “Normal per 2R” <“Small hit”, so in the situation of the probability variation gaming state, the symbol attribute is “small hit” rather than “normal 2R per”. It is possible to notify that it is advantageous for the player. Further, as shown in the second and third stages in this example, the same symbol attribute may be configured to be continuous. When configured in this way, when the same symbol attribute continues for a predetermined number of times, it is possible to increase the interest of the game by configuring so as to generate a jackpot advantageous to the player. Also, as shown in the fourth row in this example, a big hit that is advantageous for the player (in this example, “per 10 R probability change”) → a big hit that is disadvantageous for the player (in this example, “per regular 8R”) It may be configured to change (so-called rank down). When configured in this way, when the symbol attribute changes so as to lower the rank, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by configuring so as to generate a jackpot that is advantageous to the player thereafter. Here, “the configuration so that a jackpot that is advantageous to the player thereafter” is more specifically, (1) As shown in the fourth row in this example, it is a continuous performance before the trigger suspension digestion. The symbol attribute is configured to be ranked down (in this example, "per 10R probability change" → "per 8R normal"), and the symbol attribute (in this example, "per 16R probability change" advantageous for the player at the time of trigger hold-up. )), And (2) when it is determined that a new hit hold has occurred during execution of the continuous production, the symbol attribute is ranked down (for example, “probability 2R”). "Per win" per "probable change 16R"-> trigger hold: "per probable change 12R") (that is, further hit at the time of the reserved game after the special game related to "per probable change 12R") The deterministic occur), and the like.

  In the present embodiment, as a decoration pattern variation mode at the time of continuous production execution, it is configured to execute a total rotation variation that is variably displayed in a state where the winning symbols are aligned, but is not limited thereto. . In that case, it may be configured to stop and display the winning symbol after executing any variation mode (normal reach, super reach, etc.) based on the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol at the time of executing the continuous effect. Good. However, in the case of such a configuration, the meaning of increasing the degree of expectation for jackpots is diminished by the arbitrary variation mode. Therefore, a variation mode (for example, super reach) having a particularly high level of jackpot expectation is executed. Can be redundant. Therefore, when executing a variation mode with a high degree of expectation of the jackpot at the time of executing the continuous performance, it is configured to adjust the content of the continuous performance so that a jackpot that is more advantageous for the player thereafter is generated. Such redundancy can be avoided.

  In the present embodiment, when the symbol variation has already started when the trigger suspension that is a hit suspension occurs, the symbol variation is configured not to be stopped and displayed in the symbol variation. Is not limited. In that case, a stop symbol in the symbol variation may be replaced with a winning symbol. By configuring in this way, it is possible to easily execute a continuous effect even when a trigger suspension occurs in a situation where the number of suspensions is small (for example, suspension 0).

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the trigger hold is a hit hold (that is, the winning symbol is always stopped and displayed at the end of the continuous performance), but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to configure as follows. For example, in a situation where the game is in a probability-variable gaming state, a continuous production such as “usually per 2R” → “per normal 2R” → “losing eyes” is generated with the suspension of the suspension as a trigger suspension. When configured in this way, in terms of the expected appearance that can be obtained in a special game, there is a magnitude relationship of “normally per 2R”> “losing eyes”, but in terms of the possibility that the probability variation gaming state will continue. Since “normally per 2R” <“losing eye”, in the situation of the probability variation gaming state, the symbol attribute is “losing eye” rather than “normally per 2R”. It is possible to notify that it is advantageous for the player.
