Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Pachinko game machine capable of a held read-ahead performance.SOLUTION: When certain hold occurs, information that is derived based on a random number relating to the certain hold and is held read-ahead information considering a transition possibility of a game state can be derived before variation display start conditions of identification information relating to the certain hold are fulfilled. When predetermined conditions based on held read-ahead information relating to certain hold are fulfilled, performance-related information for suggesting or reporting the presence of the certain hold can be outputted.

Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  The most popular pachinko machines are now called “special symbols” (or main game symbols) on the 7-segment display, etc., when a game ball enters the starter (start chucker). When the special symbol is variably displayed 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 special winning opening that is normally closed This is a type of machine (so-called “first-class pachinko game machine”) that shifts to (a game of contents that a so-called attacker opens 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, if you are in a situation where you can't start changing the display of a “special symbol”, the game will have a function to hold the change display when a game ball has entered the start gate. One of them is a technique (so-called reservation pre-reading effect) that improves the interest of the game by configuring so as to notify or suggest.

Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. 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. The thing with the shape of etc. can be mentioned. In this specification, “identification information” may be called a main game symbol / special symbol (special symbol) or a decorative symbol (design), but the “special symbol (special symbol)” is the main control board. The “decorative pattern (design)” is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-control board side. “Displaying identification information” is not limited to a display method. For example, light emission of a light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) (including not only whether light is emitted but also a color difference), physical Display (for example, a symbol drawn on a reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position). “Direction” refers to display content that enhances the fun of the game. For example, identification information fluctuates / stops, notices, etc., moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photos, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. “Open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = non-winning state Easy 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 condition, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a 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. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . 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). “Game state” means, for example, a transition to a special game state rather than a non-stochastic game state in which a lottery probability for transition to a special game state or a special game state in which a special winning opening can be in an open state is a predetermined value. A probabilistic variable gaming state with a high lottery probability, an auxiliary gaming state with assistance for winning at the starting port that becomes a lottery opportunity for special games (so-called normal symbol short-time state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting port In such a case, the variable member may be one or a combination of a plurality of combinations such as a long opening period of the variable member, a high probability of winning the opening of the variable member, and a short notification time of the result of the variable member opening lottery.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after turning on the power of the gaming machine, the initial setting is performed (not shown, but the register initialization, the input / output port setting, etc. are performed), and then in step 1002, the main control board M displays the RAM clear button. Whether the reset button (RAM clear button) of the power supply unit E has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of intentionally clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed by a game hall manager or the like. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at this timing). Alternatively, a command may be set at this timing and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power interruption and the RAM area are stored in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is accurately backed up in the RAM). If YES in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up to the RAM in Step 1010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM in the main control board M in Step 1012. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (the command may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and described later. It may be configured to transmit by transmission processing), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by a scheduled execution interrupt (for example, about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt period is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, (b) in FIG. 11 is executed), the process proceeds to step 1018. . After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, at step 1200, the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1500, the main control board M executes a special game operation condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1600, the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1910, the main control board M (especially the winning ball payout determining means MH) wins the winning ball payout control process (drive control of the winning ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. The payout control board KH is executed, and a process for managing the result is executed. Next, in step 1920, the main control board M executes external signal output processing (information output to the external terminal board, hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1930, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being performed.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the main control board M is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the processing of FIG. Is done. That is, when the gaming machine is powered off (in this example, when an NMI interrupt occurs), in step 1020, the main control board M sets power interruption information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. Next, in step 1022, the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the auxiliary game start port entry determining means MJ11-H determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflow, passed in the case of a gate) into the auxiliary game start port H10. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H sets the random number together with information on what number of the hold is in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H. 1 is added, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the next process (process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the electric accessory releasing flag is off. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is set. It is determined whether or not it is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the second main game start opening electric accessory opening / closing condition determination means MP21-B accesses the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and holds the ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary game symbol determining means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H to determine the auxiliary game side game state (flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). In addition to the acquisition, the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H is referred to, and the stop symbol is determined based on the acquired auxiliary game side gaming state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, the auxiliary game short time flag) Is selected, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than in the case of being off) and temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H.

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the table, in this example, there are “D0, D1, D2” as the stop symbols, and “D1, D2” as the stop symbols as the winning symbols. In the non-time-reduced game, when the stopped symbol is “D1”, the open mode is (0.2 seconds open → closed), and the open mode of the electric combination that will be opened is stopped. When the symbol is “D2”, the release mode is (open for 0.2 seconds → closed for 0.8 seconds → opened for 5.0 seconds, closed) (longest open). In the time-saving game, when the stopped symbol is “D1”, the release mode is (1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed). When the symbol is “D2”, the opening mode is configured to be (open for 0.2 seconds → close for 0.8 seconds → open for 4.0 seconds → close). It should be noted that the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol “D0” during non-time-reduced games, and the stop symbol is likely to be a winning symbol “D1” during time-reduced games.

  Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game variation mode determining means MN51-H determines the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H based on the auxiliary game side game state (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 1 second when the auxiliary game short flag is on and 10 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is off) is set. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the hold information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. At the same time, after the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation management timer MP11t-H, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol change display on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, in step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H to determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol, and the acquired auxiliary The stop symbol of the game symbol is confirmed and displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. Then, at step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H.

  Next, in step 1230, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “hit” (D1 · D2 in this example). Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the second main game starting port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B is based on the winning symbol and the gaming state on the auxiliary game side, and the release mode (for example, the winning symbol “D1”). In the case of 1 second release → 1 second closure → 1 second release → 1 second closure → 1 second release → closed release mode, in the case of the winning symbol “D2”, 0.2 second release, 0.8 A second closing time and an opening mode of 5 seconds are determined, and a predetermined time related to the opening time (opening / closing time) of the electric game object is set in the second main game start opening electric game object release timer MP22t-B. Next, in step 1234, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B turns on the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, at step 1236, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B opens the second main game start port electric combination B11d. In the present embodiment, when the main game short flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is the predetermined hit symbol (D2), the time for which the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is kept open is the longest. Has been.

  Next, in step 1242, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start port electric accessory release timer MP22t-B, and determines the time for opening the electric accessory. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in step 1244 and step 1246, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B closes the second main game start port electric combination B11d and temporarily stops the auxiliary game state. The electric-power-operating-released flag in the flag area of the storage unit MB10-H is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1300).

  If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1242. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230, and step 1242, the next process is performed. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

  Further, in this flowchart, for the sake of convenience, after the stop symbol is displayed in step 1226, the process proceeds to the next step immediately, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, it may be configured to move to the next processing after a fixed stop display time of about 500 ms (for example, this processing is performed by performing branch processing using a stop display fixing flag and a timer). Achievable).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first main game start entrance entering determination means MJ11-A receives the first main game start entrance entrance information from the first main game start entrance entrance detection device A11s of the first main game start entrance A10. Is received. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A and determines the main game (especially the first main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the “side” is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning lottery random number for determining whether or not to win, a symbol lottery random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are obtained in series at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A. . Next, in step 1310, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored pass / fail random number delimiter information for the hold based on the hold information (random number for win / fail lottery). See). Next, in step 1312, the holding control means MJ30 determines the stored holding symbol information based on the holding information (the symbol random number for symbol drawing) (refer to the main game table 2 in FIG. 11 for the symbol information). Next, in step 1314, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold change mode random number delimiter information, non-short-time change mode range, and short-time change mode range based on the hold information (variation mode determining random number) ( (Refer to the main game table 3 in FIG. 12 for the variation mode random number delimiter information, the non-time variation mode range, and the time variation range).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the main game content determination random number (the first main game content determination random number or the second main game content determination random number) is acquired (or when a hold occurs), the variation mode random number separation information, non-short-time variation The aspect range and the short time variation aspect range are configured to be determined.

  Next, in step 1316, the hold control means MJ30 generates a new hold occurrence command (information indicating that the game is the first main game hold, information related to the number of holds, whether / not random number separation information, symbol information, variation mode random number separation information, etc. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1930). If the symbol information is configured to be transmitted to the sub side as in the present embodiment, an effect suggesting a big hit may be executed as an effect to be executed on the sub side. It is desirable to be able to notify the player of the stop symbol of the main game symbol that is a big hit (the stop symbol is notified only when the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit). In addition, in this example, the reservation pre-reading effect (a “hit notice effect” indicating the possibility of a big hit, a “hit symbol notice effect” indicating a big hit symbol in the case of a big win, and the content of the effect to be executed “ In order to execute “pattern notice effect”, etc., information such as failure random number delimiter information (and symbol information in the case of a big hit), variation mode random number delimiter information) is transmitted to the sub-side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and information necessary for the performance to be executed may be transmitted to the sub-side. For example, when a pre-reading effect that suggests the contents of the special game in the case of a big hit is executed In addition to the random number delimiter information, the delimiter information is delimited by the number of rounds, the winning opening pattern, the game state after the end of the special game, etc. It may be configured such that may send a multi-address) in the sub-side. By configuring in this way, on the sub-side, the information related to the stop symbol (especially the jackpot symbol) of the main game symbol received from the main side (the number of special game rounds, the big prize opening pattern, after the special game ends) The game state to be transferred, etc.) is determined, and the pre-reading effect relating to the stop symbol of the main game symbol (and the progress of the game executed based on the stop symbol) can be executed.

  Next, at step 1322, the second main game start entrance ball judging means MJ11-B enters the second main game start entrance ball from the second main game start entrance entrance detection device B11s of the second main game start entrance B10. It is determined whether or not information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B, and the main game (particularly the second main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the “side” is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired in the same manner as the first main game content determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the first lottery random number for the first main game and the right lottery random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1328, the second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B. .

  Next, in step 1330, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold random number delimiter information for the hold based on the hold information (random number for win / fail lottery) (for the pass / fail random number delimiter information, the main game table 1 in FIG. 11). See). Next, in step 1332, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored symbol information of the hold based on the hold information (symbol for design lottery) (see the main game table 2 in FIG. 11 for the symbol information). Next, in step 1334, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold change mode random number delimiter information, non-short-time change mode range, and short-time change mode range based on the hold information (variation mode determination random number) ( (Refer to the main game table 3 of FIG. 12 for variation mode random number delimiter information, non-time variation mode range, and time variation variation range).

  Next, in step 1336, the hold control means MJ30 determines that a new hold occurrence command (information indicating that the second main game is held, information related to the number of holds, whether or not random number separation information, symbol information, variation mode random number separation information, etc. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1930), and the next processing (step 1400). In the case of No in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1322, and in the case of No in step 1322 or step 1324, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1400).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the hold digest control means MJ31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B and confirms whether there is no hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the holding of the first main game symbol) However, this is not limited to this, but it is not limited to this (the pending digest based on the winning order and both main game symbols are simultaneously executed in parallel). It may be configured to execute a parallel lottery for lottery.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the pending digest control means MJ31 determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game is not being played (or the condition device is being operated), the main game symbol is not changing, and there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is displayed), during the variable fixed time, You may comprise so that it may not satisfy | fill.

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, in steps 1405 and 1406, the hold digest control means MJ31 stores the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B). The first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation that is temporarily stored is read and the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game) The information is deleted from the symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B), and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding digestion processing). Next, at step 1410-1, the success / failure lottery means MN10 refers to the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. Based on 1 main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, a winning lottery random number), a main game symbol winning lottery is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in the present embodiment, the hit (so-called small hit) where the gaming state cannot be changed is not illustrated, but a small hit may be generated (winning for the small hit).

  Further, as shown in this example, the present embodiment is configured such that the success / failure random number separation information is determined by the success / failure random numbers. The corresponding random number delimiter information includes the first decisive delimiter information, the first main game side, and the second main game side, three determinants of deterministic determinant, deterministic determinant 2 and deterministic determinant 3. This is a random number separation information that is a big hit, and is a random number separation information that becomes a big hit even in the probability variation gaming state, and the failure decision 2 is a failure random number separation information that becomes a loss in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and a big hit in the probability variation gaming state The success / failure delimiter 3 is unacceptable random number delimiter information that is lost in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and also lost in the probability variation gaming state.

  Next, in step 1410-2, the first main game symbol determination means MN41-A (second main game symbol determination means MN41-B) selects the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game). With reference to the symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), the main game symbol is determined based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number). Stop symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A” and “4B, 5B, 7B”) are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. Note that the number of rounds of special games determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and are not limited to this. For example, the lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and is configured to provide a plurality of types of symbols. Alternatively, when a specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the state of change of the main game symbol and / or the selection rate is different from that before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed (in a limited frequency state). Yes, for example, it may be configured to shift to a state in which the variation mode is determined with reference to a table in which the type and / or selection rate of the variation mode of the main game symbol is different from that in the case of not being the limited frequency state. Also, in that case, the trigger for switching the variation mode determination table to be referred to is a stop display of a predetermined symbol (big hit symbol, small hit symbol, specific loss symbol, etc.), a predetermined number of changes from the stop display of a predetermined symbol, Etc.

  Next, in step 1410-3, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determination means MN51-B) draws the first main game variation mode determination lottery corresponding to each game state. Refer to the table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B), the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially the variation The main game symbol variation mode is determined based on the mode lottery random number), temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the main game symbol variation mode (variation time) is determined based on the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result and the main game short time flag state. That is, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is a win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and when the main game short flag is on (relative to the short game state) The variation mode in which the variation time is short is easily determined. This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, or the like. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game short-time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side Is configured to be advantageous for the player, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). It is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished in order to establish the situation. In addition, it may be configured such that the variation time can be relatively different depending on the number of holdings. In that case, in the non-time-reduced gaming state, the first main game symbol variation depends on the number of holdings on the first main game side. In the second main game symbol variation, the variation mode determination table is not switched according to the number of holdings on the second main game side (and the first main game side). Also good. Also, during the time-reduced gaming state, in the second main game symbol variation, the variation mode determination table to be referred to is switched according to the number of reserves on the second main game side, while in the first main game symbol variation, the first main game The change mode determination table is not switched according to the number of holdings on the side (and the second main game side) (that is, the change mode determination table can be switched depending on the number of holds mainly relating to the change depending on the game state). It may be configured.

  Further, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the variation mode random number delimiter information is determined by the variation mode determination random number. The variation mode random number delimiter information is provided in the respective tables when the first main game side hits, the first main game side loses, the second main game side hits, and the second main game side loses. It is divided into five variable breaks from 1 to 5 at the time of the first main game hit, the first main game lose, and the second main game lose. At the time of hitting on the second main game side, it is divided into three variable delimiters from variable delimiter 1 to variable delimiter 3. Further, the variation mode in which the variation time of the main game symbol is the shortest is determined to be a variation segment 1, and the variation mode in which the variation time of the main game symbol is the longest is determined to be a variation segment 3 or 5. Yes.

  Further, the random time range of the variation time and the variation mode range can be different (for example, the random number range is different even in the same range 1) by turning on / off the main game short time flag. By transmitting the delimiter information to the sub-side, it is configured such that both of the variation modes of the time-reduced gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state can be derived on the sub-side. In addition, the variation mode range is provided from the range 1 to the range 3. In addition, by configuring in this way, when the game state transitions between the occurrence of the hold and the digestion of the hold, the change mode range that was planned at the time of the hold occurrence and the change mode that is executed at the time of the hold digestion (For example, the change mode range was scheduled to be range 1 because it was a non-time-reduced gaming state when a hold occurred, but it was actually a time-reduced gaming state when the hold was digested. The variation mode range can be range 2.) In this example, the variation time included in each range has the same variation time (for example, the range 1 has a variation time of 10 seconds or less regardless of whether the game is in a time-saving gaming state or not. However, the variation time that can be selected is completely different (for example, in the non-time-reduced gaming state, a variation time of 10 to 120 seconds is selected, and in the time-reduced gaming state, , 1 to 5 seconds, and 10 seconds of variation time are selected), instead of dividing the variation mode range by the absolute variation time that does not depend on the gaming state, The variation mode range is divided according to the variation time (for example, in the non-time-reduced gaming state, the variation time is 10 to 15 seconds, in the time-reduced gaming state, the variation time is 1 to 1.5 seconds. Model 1, the isolate) as may be configured. Further, the range is not limited to the range according to the variation time. For example, the range information segmented based on the execution content of the effect (for example, one of the plurality of reach effects in which the character A appears is executed. The range information obtained by dividing the variation for executing the reach effect of any of the plurality of reach effects in which the character B appears in the range A and the range B as the range B) may be transmitted to the sub side.

  In addition, as examples in which the variation mode range that is scheduled after the transition of the gaming state in this way and the variation mode range that is actually executed may differ, (1) there are a plurality of holds in the main game hold In the situation, a certain hold in the main game hold is digested to become a big hit (or small win), and the game state transitions after the special game related to the hold (or after the bonus game related to the small hit) (for example, , Transition from a non-stochastic variation gaming state to a probability variation gaming state), and the variation mode range of the retention in the main game suspension remaining at the time of digestion of the certain retention, (2) after the end of the special game (Or after the end of the small hit) the game state transitions when the main game symbol has been changed a predetermined number of times (for example, the time-reduced game state after the end of the special game, the main game symbol will change 50 times after the end of the special game) Taimi The game can be changed to a non-time-reduced gaming state, etc.), and a special game is held after the special game ends (or after the end of the small hit) before the main game symbol changes a predetermined number of times. An example in which the variation mode range may be different when digested after a predetermined number of variations of the main game symbol after the end, (3) each variation of the main game symbol when the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state It is configured to execute a lottery (so-called falling lottery) that shifts to a non-stochastic variation gaming state, and a trigger suspension occurs in the probability variation gaming state, and the variation mode is due to winning the falling lottery before digestion of the trigger suspension Examples where the range may be different are included.

  In the present embodiment, the same variation mode range (for example, range 1 when the main game short time flag is on and range 1 when the main game short time flag is off, depending on whether the main game short time flag is on or off, Etc.), the random number ranges included in the same variation mode range can be different, and the variation mode random number delimiter information (for example, the first main range) consisting only of the different random number ranges is configured. There are a plurality of variation delimiters 2 at the time of hitting in the game variation mode determination table. Further, variation mode random number delimiter information (for example, the first main mode) consisting only of the range of random numbers included in both cases where the main game short time flag within the range of random numbers of the same variation mode range is on or off. There is also a change delimiter 1 at the time of hitting in the game change mode determination table. The number of types of variation mode random number delimiter information in each table (for example, five of variation delimiter 1 to variable delimiter 5) is based on the number of types of variation mode range (for example, three of range 1 to range 3). Is also configured to increase.

  In the present embodiment, the range 3 of the variation mode range can be selected as the variation mode range only when it is scheduled to be the longest variation time that can be selected (120 seconds in this example). It is configured. Therefore, when the range 3 in the variation mode range is selected, the expectation level that is the biggest jackpot is increased (the proportion of the variation mode that can be selected is increased). Further, in the present embodiment, the range 3 is configured to be more easily selected in the non-time-reduced gaming state than in the time-reduced gaming state (the range of random numbers is wide) {in the time-reduced gaming state (particularly In the time shortening / probability variation gaming state), it is possible to reduce the time required for the next big hit and to reduce the game stress by configuring so that the variation with a short variation time is easily selected. Further, in the time-saving gaming state, the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is easy to open, it is easy to enter the second main game start opening B10, and a situation where there is no holding is unlikely to occur} . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the range 3 may be configured to be more easily selected when the game is in the time-reduced game state than in the non-time-reduced game state. Since the state) is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than in the non-time-reduced gaming state, it is effective to use the highly expected performance to raise the player's expectation}. In the present embodiment, the range 3 is selected as the variation mode range only when it is scheduled to be the longest variation time that can be selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be configured to be selected when the variation time is scheduled, and may be selected only when the variation mode range other than the range 3 is scheduled to be the longest variation time by increasing / decreasing the number of variation mode ranges. There is no problem as a variation mode range.

  In the present embodiment, the range of random numbers included in the variation time and the variation mode range may be different depending on whether the main game short time flag is turned on or off, but the gaming state is a non-stochastic variation gaming state. The random time range of the variation time and / or the variation mode range can be different depending on whether the game is in the probability variation gaming state, the reference table is the normal variation mode determination table or the limited frequency table, etc. May be.

  Next, in step 1414, the game content determination means MN sends the symbol variation display start instruction command (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information) temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. The information related to the determined main game symbol such as the variation mode information and the command related to the current gaming state) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission in step 1930) (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM side by processing). Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. To do. Next, in step 1417, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20) ( On the second main game symbol display unit B21g), the main game symbol variation display is started in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Next, in step 1418, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns on the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, Control goes to step 1420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C and changes. It is determined whether or not the middle flag is on. If Yes in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420. If No in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500).

  Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets the symbol variation end command in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1930). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20) ( The change display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display part B21g) is stopped, and the stop symbols stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C are displayed as the fixed stop symbols. Control. Next, in step 1428, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns off the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. .

  Next, in step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1432, the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. On the other hand, if No at step 1430, step 1432 is skipped.

  Next, at step 1450, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500). Even in the case of No in step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, at step 1452, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1454, in step 1456, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1458, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value (remaining time reduction count) is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1458, in step 1460 and step 1462, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. (Step 1500). In addition, also when No is determined in Step 1452, Step 1454, and Step 1458, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination means MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1514, the special game control means MP30 determines the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / main game short flag / auxiliary game short time) in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Flag) off. Next, in step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1520, the special game control means MP30 turns on a special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1522, the special game control means MP30 turns off the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1600). In the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b 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 MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag. Turn on. Next, in step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side ( In step 1930, the control command is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM 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 MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b 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 execution means MP33 determines that the special game permission is not granted, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1910).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b to determine whether the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, when it is just before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution means MP33 is set to the release pattern set in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b (for example, keeps releasing). Open pattern and open / close pattern). Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means MP33 uses the first big prize opening electric combination C11d of the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d of the second big prize opening C20). Drive to open the first grand prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20), set a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) to the special game timer MP34t (especially the opening time timer), and start, step 1622 Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when the big prize opening is being opened, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current round number, game ball winning number, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1930). Next, in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. ) Is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process proceeds to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer) to determine a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to the special prize opening. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. In the case of No in step 1626, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1910).

  Next, in step 1628, the special game executing means MP33 determines the first big prize opening electric combination C11d of the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d of the second big prize opening C20). The driving is stopped and the first grand prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means MP33 resets a special game timer MP34t (especially an opening time timer). Next, in step 1632, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1633, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1634, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the final round has ended (for example, the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b). Whether or not the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1638, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game end display instruction command) to end the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process in step 1930). Then, in step 1650, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1910). Even in the case of No in step 1634, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, at step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probable big hit symbol (in this example, 5A, 5B, 7A, 7B). ). In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1658. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652, in step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times (in this example, 50 times) to the counter value of the hour / minute number counter MP52c, and proceeds to step 1658. Next, in step 1658 and step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and performs the next processing (step 1910).

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 to 27, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board S side (particularly on the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, (a) sub main control unit side main process is a process on the sub main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting, for example, when the gaming machine is powered on. That is, when the gaming machine is turned on (or reset), in step 2002, the sub-main control unit SM interrupts in order to return to the process that was executed when the interrupt process occurred after the completion of the interrupt process. A stack area for storing the address of the process that was being executed when the process occurred is allocated (size and position are determined), and a stack pointer (returns from interrupt processing to the original process) at the beginning (initial position) of the stack area In this case, a pointer indicating the storage position of the address to be referred to is set.

  Here, the stack area is an area in which data is stored by a LIFO (LastInFirstOut: data that has entered last is first taken out) mechanism. Even if another interrupt process occurs, the address of the process that was executed when the interrupt process that occurred last (and the return to the original process was not completed) occurred (the address of the process that should return) Is always taken out. In this example, data storage in the stack area and processing such as updating the stack pointer are not shown.

  Next, in step 2004, the sub-main control unit SM prohibits the generation of all interrupt processing (all interrupt processing is executed after completion of processing related to processing execution preparation in steps 2006 to 2010 described later. Because it is assumed).

  Next, in step 2006, the sub-main control unit SM executes hardware initialization and basic settings (register initialization, input / output port settings, etc.).

  Next, in step 2008, the sub-main control unit SM initializes a RAM (random access memory, so-called temporary storage area that can be written and read). Next, in step 2010, the sub-main control unit SM expands the program stored in the ROM in the RAM. Note that this processing (program development processing from ROM to RAM) is intended to increase the processing speed by developing a program in RAM that has a higher processing speed than ROM.

  Next, in step 2012, the sub-main control unit SM permits the generation of (d) main command reception interrupt processing to be described later.

  Next, in step 2014, the sub-main control unit SM executes a process of setting an error that is valid in the gaming machine. Here, in the development of gaming machines, all errors used in various gaming machines (for example, normal 1 type + 1 type gaming machine, 1 type + 2 type gaming machine, ball type gaming machine, etc.) By developing a program capable of executing control processing and using the program together with various gaming machines, it becomes possible to reduce the development cost of the gaming machine. As such, when a program that can execute all error control processes is used, in the process, an error control process to be used in the gaming machine is enabled (a process related to an error that is not used is disabled). It is necessary.

  Next, in step 2016, the sub-main control unit SM turns off all the illumination lamps D26 (in order to turn off the lamps that are lit due to the influence of noise or the like) First, the process related to turning off is executed.

  Next, in step 2018, the sub-main control unit SM increments the value every predetermined time regardless of the operation of the software. The initial value (for example, 0) is set in the timer to start, and the routine proceeds to the sub-main routine of FIG.

  Here, the watchdog timer includes a watchdog mechanism that detects a program runaway (for example, an infinite loop of processing or a process stoppage) and forcibly resets the sub-main control unit SM to recover from the runaway. It is a timer for. The processing related to the watch dog mechanism will be described in detail later.

  Next, in the figure, (b) after the processing of the sub-main side routine, in step 2020, the sub-main control unit SM sleeps (shifts to the power saving mode), and then the processing ends. Although the sub-main side routine of FIG. 6B is configured to loop a predetermined process internally, when the program is operating normally, the processing and processing of step 2020 are configured. Termination is not performed. However, when the address for executing the process is replaced with the address in which the program in step 2020 is stored due to the influence of noise or the like, the sub main control unit SM is set to sleep and the process is terminated. It has been done.

  Next, when the sub-main side routine of FIG. 5B is executed, first, in step 2022, the sub-main control unit SM stores the program expanded in the RAM in the above-described processing (processing in step 2010). The start address of the area being acquired is acquired (the acquired address is used to execute processing for checking whether the program expanded in the RAM is correctly expanded).

  Next, in step 2024, the sub-main control unit SM permits the generation of all interrupt processing (details of the interrupt processing will be described later).

  Next, in step 2026, the sub-main control unit SM executes an initial operation related to a device such as a motor or a solenoid for driving a production character or the like, and thereafter, step 2028 to step 2030 (or step 2032). ) Will be transferred to a loop process that repeatedly executes the process. Although not particularly illustrated in this example, during the execution of the initial operation, the initial operation is preferentially executed even when the drive timing of the device is reached.

  Next, in step 2028, the sub-main control unit SM resets (zero clears) the value of the watchdog timer. Thus, since it is configured to execute the reset processing of the watchdog timer within the loop processing of Step 2028 to Step 2030 (or Step 2032) in FIG. Each time it is repeated, the watchdog timer value is reset. On the other hand, the loop processing is not executed normally, and the watchdog timer value is set to a predetermined runaway detection value time (a time value that can determine that an abnormality has occurred based on the time related to loop processing, interrupt processing, etc.) In this case, the watchdog operation interrupt process described later is executed, and the reset process of the sub-main control unit SM is executed.

  Next, in step 2100, the sub-main control unit SM confirms inputs from various sensors (such as fraud detection sensors and button input sensors). In addition, when the signal from the sensor is continuously ON for a predetermined number of times, it is possible to eliminate an input error due to noise by determining that the sensor has detected an input.

  Next, in step 2200, the sub-main control unit SM executes an error notification process based on the error occurrence status (the notification process may be executed as appropriate according to the type of error that has occurred).

  Next, in step 2300, the sub-main control unit SM executes an effect to be executed based on an input from the sub-input button SB (for example, an operation of the sub-input button SB such as a button striking effect or a button long-press effect). Display the production according to the).

  Next, the processing of step 2400 to step 2800 is executed as the notice lottery management processing in the effect during the game. First, in step 2400, the sub-main control unit SM executes a hold information management / display content determination / display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2600, the sub-main control unit SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2700, the sub-main control unit SM executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2800, the sub-main control unit SM executes a special game related display control process described later. In this example, the decoration symbol display content determination process described later is configured to determine the stop symbol of the decoration symbol based on the information related to the variation of the decoration from the main side. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Although not particularly shown in this example, the main processing is performed in the loop processing of step 2028 to step 2030 or step 2032 in the sub-main side routine of FIG. You may comprise so that the stop symbol (especially losing symbol) of a decoration symbol can be determined irrespective of the information regarding the figure fluctuation from the side. In the case of such a configuration, for example, every time the loop process is executed, the value of the counter that counts the value from 0 to 999 is incremented, and the three-digit value of the counter is changed to the left symbol and the tenth digit. The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined by making the position correspond to the middle symbol and the first digit corresponding to the right symbol (for example, when the counter value is 290, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is “2.9.0”). Method) (in this case, if the counter value is not suitable as a lost symbol (for example, 777)), the counter value is updated to a value suitable for the lost symbol, such as incrementing the counter value again. Need to be processed}, or a table in which an appropriate lost symbol and symbol number are associated with each other, and the symbol number is updated by updating the symbol number every time the loop process is executed. I will update It may be configured.

  If the notice lottery management process in steps 2400 to 2800 is executed, then in step 3000, the sub-main control unit SM performs device operation control (for example, determined in the notice lottery management process described above). In addition, the drive pattern of each device is set according to the execution timing of the production using the device).

  Next, in step 3100, the sub-main control unit SM analyzes the content of the command received from the main side in the (d) main command reception interrupt process described later, and temporarily stores information related to the analyzed command. . In this example, the above-described notice lottery management process (steps 2400 to 2800) is configured to determine the stop pattern of the decorative symbols, the variation pattern, and the content of the notice effect. For example, when a symbol variation start command is received from the main side, when the command is analyzed, the decorative symbol stop symbol or variation pattern on the sub side is based on the stop symbol or variation pattern of the main game symbol. (For example, the type of reach effect to be executed, etc.) may be determined (for example, the variation pattern of the main game symbol and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol are one-to-one, one-to-one, multiple-to-one, A plurality of pairs may be associated). Moreover, you may comprise so that the content of a notice effect, etc. can be determined by the said command analysis process. Depending on the content of the effect determined in the notice lottery management process, it is necessary to change the determined symbol (for example, when executing an effect that is lost by tempering with “7” symbol, the left symbol And it is necessary to change to a lost symbol whose right symbol is “7”).

  Next, in step 2030, the sub-main control unit SM refers to each temporary storage area corresponding to the information related to the command from the main side, and performs the main-side command analysis processing in step 3100 in the execution of the current loop processing. To determine whether a new command analysis has been executed. In the case of Yes in Step 2030, in Step 2032, the sub-main control unit SM updates a random number used in each process (for example, updates a random number using a hard random number 1 latched in a process described later as a seed). Move to 2028. In the case of No in step 2030, the process proceeds to step 2028.

  As described above, at the time of execution of the sub-main side routine in FIG. 5B, after executing the processing of step 2022 to step 2026, the series of processing routines of step 2028 to step 3100 or step 2032 is repeatedly executed. .

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of interrupt processing on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

  First, the main command reception interrupt process of FIG. That is, when the signal (STB signal) from the STB signal line connected to the main side (main control board M side) and the sub side (sub main control unit SM side) is turned ON, in step 2036, the sub The main control unit SM determines whether or not the command input value from the main side is confirmed. The sub-main control unit SM is configured to input (parallel signals) from parallel signal lines (which is a general term for a plurality of signal lines) that are signal lines for command input from the main side when the STB signal is turned ON. ON / OFF of each of a plurality of signal lines constituting the line), but here, in order to prevent an error in the command input value due to noise or the like, the same value is continuously repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 2 to 5 times). When the is read, the command input value is determined.

  In the case of Yes in step 2036, in step 2038, the sub main control unit SM determines whether or not the received command is the first command. Here, the command transmitted from the main side is composed of a first command and a second command, each of which is 8-bit information. For example, the first command has a leading bit of “0”, and the second command The command is configured such that the first bit is “1”, and the sub-main control unit SM checks whether the received command is the first command or not by checking the first bit of the received command. It can be determined whether it exists. The command transmission method and the number of bits are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the command is transmitted by a serial communication method (a method of transmitting information to one communication line in order from the first bit). You may comprise so that it can transmit.

  In the case of Yes in step 2038, in step 2040, the sub-main control unit SM saves the received first command in a temporary (temporary storage area for temporarily storing the first command waiting to receive the second command). . When the first command is already stored, in other words, when the first command is received after the first command, the first command already stored is discarded and newly received. Save the first command.

  Next, in step 2042, the sub-main control unit SM latches a hard random number (a random number that is managed by the hardware and that acquires a counter value that repeats incrementing and returns to the initial value when reaching the maximum value as a random value) 1. (Acquire) to return to the processing before the occurrence of this interrupt processing (main command reception interrupt processing).

  Here, the hard random number 1 latched by the processing is mainly a seed (in particular, a soft random number generated by software, for example, an MT random number) in the random number updating process described above. Used as input information for deriving the initial value of the random number). The hard random number is a periodic random number determined by the timing at which the counter value is incremented and the counter value (random number value) is latched. (Hard random number 1 to be latched becomes a periodic random value by performing the processing within (the command is transmitted based on the entrance to the entrance, etc., so that the regularity of the generation timing is low) It prevents that. Furthermore, the hard random number 1 is not directly used for the lottery, but is used as a seed for updating the soft random number to generate a random number with higher randomness (and used for the lottery). It is. In this example, hard random numbers are not directly used for lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and hard random numbers may be directly used for lottery.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2038, in other words, when the second command is received from the main side, in step 2044, the sub-main control unit SM temporarily stores the first command waiting to receive the second command. To determine whether or not the first command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2044, in step 2046, the sub-main control unit SM saves the received command (the saved command is analyzed by main command analysis processing described later), and the command write pointer (command buffer) of the command buffer SM11bf The position (command recording position) in SM11bf is newly acquired. Next, in step 2048, the sub-main control unit SM stores (records) the first command stored in the temporary and the received second command in the command buffer SM11bf. Next, in step 2050, the sub-main control unit SM updates the command write pointer of the command buffer SM11bf (for example, updates the value by incrementing the value). Next, in step 2052, the sub-main control unit SM clears (deletes) the first command stored in the temporary, and returns to the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process). Note that the command stored in the command buffer SM11bf is analyzed by the main command analysis process described above.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2036 (when the command input value is not fixed), the process returns to the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2044 (when the second command is received in a state where the first command is not temporarily stored), the processing before the occurrence of this interrupt processing (main command reception interrupt processing) is resumed ( The received second command will be discarded).

  Next, the TGI1A timer interrupt process of FIG. First, the interrupt process is a timer interrupt process that occurs every predetermined time (for example, 1 ms). That is, when the interrupt process occurs, in step 2054, the sub-main control unit SM prohibits the interrupt process with the priority level 1 during the interrupt process (TGI1A timer interrupt process).

  Here, as shown in the interrupt processing priority table in the lower part of the figure, in this example, other interrupt processing not particularly shown is priority 1 interrupt processing. Also, interrupt processing at power-on (detailed processing is not shown, interrupt processing executed when power is turned on to the sub-main control unit SM), various abnormal interrupt processing {detailed processing is not shown) However, if the CPU tries to execute an illegal (non-existent) instruction, or the CPU tries to access an illegal area, or if the area is correct but tries to access it in an illegal way (for example, in the program area) Interrupt processing executed when a program is read to a non-address, etc.) and interrupt processing when the watchdog timer is activated (processing for returning from runaway) has priority over processing related to game progress. Therefore, it is set to interrupt processing with high priority. When another interrupt process with a higher priority than the interrupt process being executed occurs during the execution of a certain interrupt process, another interrupt process with a higher priority is executed. If another interrupt process with a lower priority than the currently executing interrupt process occurs during the execution of a certain interrupt process, the other interrupt process with the lower priority will end the interrupt process currently being executed. It will be executed later.

  Next, in step 2055, the sub-main control unit SM executes port input / output processing. In the port input / output process, an input process for monitoring the input to the input port of the sub-main control unit SM and an output process from the output port of the sub-main control unit SM are executed. First, in the input processing, ON / OFF of signals from fraud detection sensors such as a magnetic sensor and a vibration sensor connected to the sub main control unit SM and sub input buttons are monitored (the above-described processing of 2100). Thus, whether or not the sensor is detected is determined based on whether or not the signal monitored in the input process is continuously turned ON / OFF a predetermined number of times). Next, in the output process, the command set at the output port of the sub-main control unit SM is output to each output destination (for example, a device drive command is output to the device side).

  Next, in step 3200, the sub-main control unit SM updates the device drive command output to the device side based on the device drive pattern and the value of the device control timer SM28t. Next, in step 2056, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the device control timer SM28t. Next, in step 2058, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the effect timer SM21t. Next, in step 2060, the sub-main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the button control timer SM24t. As described above, the timer value that has been set can be updated within the interrupt process that is executed every predetermined time (1 ms in this example). It is supplemented that the timer value can not be updated.

  Next, in step 3300, the sub-main control unit SM updates the value of the task management counter SM60c. Here, the task management counter SM60c is a counter for storing values 1 to 16, and is incremented by the update process. When the counter value reaches 16, the counter value returns to 1 by the next increment process. It is configured as follows. By executing such processing, it is possible to set processing to be executed every 8 ms or 16 ms by using this interrupt processing (TGI1A timer interrupt processing) generated every 1 ms.

  Next, in step 3302, the sub-main control unit SM monitors the image CPU runaway based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when the process is to be executed every 8 ms and the counter value is 1 or 9). Execute the process. Although not particularly illustrated in this example, in the image CPU runaway monitoring process, a toggle signal from the sub-sub control unit SS (in this example, when the sub-sub control unit SS is operating normally, the image is switched 1 If the toggle signal does not switch for a predetermined time (for example, 1600 ms) or more, the sub-sub control unit SS is monitored. The sub-sub control unit SS is reset (for example, a forced reset signal is transmitted), and command transmission to the sub-sub control unit SS can be temporarily suspended. As described above, the switching of the toggle signal can be reliably detected by executing the processing every 8 ms which is shorter than 16 ms (unit of one frame for switching the image) when the toggle signal is switched.

  Next, in step 3304, the sub-main control unit SM executes the lamp lighting management process based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when the process is to be executed every 16 ms, the counter value is 2). Then, the progress of lighting / extinguishing of the illumination lamp D26 is managed based on the production execution schedule. Therefore, processing is executed using the task management counter in this way).

  Next, in step 3306, the sub-main control unit SM performs error notification time management processing based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when the processing is to be executed every 16 ms, the counter value is 3). Run. Here, in a process that does not require accuracy, such as error notification time management, and that requires time measurement over a long period of time, it is not particularly necessary to update the timer value every 1 ms, and every 1 ms. When the timer is updated, the data capacity related to the timer value becomes large. Therefore, the data capacity related to the timer value can be reduced by updating the timer value with a long period (in this example, the 16 ms period). It is.

  Next, in step 2061, the sub-main control unit SM permits the generation of all interrupt processes (cancels the prohibition of the priority 1 interrupt process prohibited in step 2054), and performs this interrupt process (TGI1A timer interrupt). Process) Return to the process before the occurrence.

  Next, the TPU0 timer interrupt process of FIG. First, the interrupt process is a timer interrupt process that occurs every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 ms). That is, when the interrupt process occurs, in step 2066, the sub main control unit SM refers to the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2, and instructs the set sub sub side (sub sub control unit SS side). It is determined whether or not exists. In the case of Yes in step 2066, in step 2068, the sub main control unit SM sets the instruction command to the sub sub control unit SS set in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2 in the transmission buffer SM40bf (particularly Although not shown, the instruction command in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2 set in the transmission buffer SM40bf may be deleted at this timing), and before this interrupt processing (TPU0 timer interrupt processing) occurs Return to processing. On the other hand, even if No in step 2066, the process returns to the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (TPU0 timer interrupt process). Although not particularly illustrated in this example, if it is determined in the image CPU runaway monitoring process in step 3302 that the sub-sub control unit SS is not operating normally, command transmission to the sub-sub control unit SS is temporarily performed. It is configured to be able to rest.

  Next, an interrupt process at the time of command transmission to the sub-sub in FIG. First, the interrupt process is an interrupt process that occurs when an instruction command is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf. That is, when an instruction command to the sub sub control unit SS is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf in step 2068, the sub main control unit SM is set in the transmission buffer SM 40bf to the sub sub control unit SS in step 2070. Read the instruction command. Next, in step 2072, the sub main control unit SM transmits the read instruction command to the sub sub control unit SS side.

  Next, in step 2074, the sub main control unit SM refers to the sub sub side information temporary storage means SM40b and reads the command received from the sub sub control unit SS side. Next, in step 2076, the sub-main control unit SM indicates that the read command from the sub-sub control unit SS (the command transmitted from the sub-main control unit SM has been successfully received by the sub-sub control unit SS). Return command). Next, in step 2078, the sub-main control unit SM saves (stores) the analyzed command in the sub-sub-side information temporary storage means SM40b, and processes before the occurrence of this interrupt process (interrupt process at the time of command transmission to the sub-sub) Return to.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of hold information management / display content determination / display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a new hold occurrence command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2406, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays a drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, Add “1” to the maximum number of second main games. Next, in step 2408, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 temporarily stores the hold information related to the hold occurrence command (particularly, random number delimiter information, symbol information, variation mode delimiter information, etc.). The information is temporarily stored in the means SM22b.

  Next, in step 2450, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a prize prefetch lottery which will be described later. Next, in step 2410, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the new hold is a hold having information indicating that the new hold is a trigger hold (the new hold is a lottery lottery at the time of winning in step 2450). To determine whether or not the trigger is suspended. In the case of Yes in step 2410, in step 2550, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a prefetch effect content determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2426. On the other hand, if the answer is No in Step 2410, the process proceeds to Step 2426.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2402, in step 2412, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and has received a new symbol variation start command from the main control board M side? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2412, in step 2416, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, at step 2418, the figure hold information display control means SM22 displays the figure change information (fluctuation mode information, stop symbol information, game state information, etc.) related to the symbol change start command, as the figure display related information temporary storage means. While temporarily storing in SM21b, the hold information corresponding to the change (in particular, random number delimiter information, symbol information, change mode delimiter information) is stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (information stored in step 3120) ) And shift the remaining pending information.

  Next, in step 2500, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a change start prefetch determination process to be described later. Next, at step 2420, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the change start prefetch winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2420, in step 2422, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns off the change start prefetch winning flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2550, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a prefetch effect content determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2424. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2420, the process proceeds to step 2424.

  Next, in step 2424, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2426. Note that if the result is No in step 2412, the process proceeds to step 2426.

  Next, in step 2426, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS on the effect display device SG (in particular, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). The same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter values in the figure hold information temporary storage means SM22b are turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2600).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the prefetch determination process at the time of winning according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. First, in step 2451, the winning pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is a time-reduced gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2451, in step 2452 the winning hold pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether or not the new hold is a hold on the second main game side. Determine. If YES in step 2452, the process proceeds to step 2454. Note that if the result is No in step 2451, the process proceeds to step 2454. If No in step 2452, the process proceeds to the next process (step 2410).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the time-reduced game state, only the hold related to the second main game side can be the trigger hold related to the pre-reading effect, but this is only an example, Is not limited, and a hold on the first main game side that occurred during the time-reduced game state may also be a trigger hold, or during a non-time-reduced game, the hold on the first main game side ( Alternatively, only the second main game side hold) may be a trigger hold in the pre-reading effect.

  Next, at step 2454, the winning hold pre-reading effect judging means SM26k1 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information relating to whether each hold is a trigger hold. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that is won in the pre-read lottery at the time of winning or the pre-read lottery at the start of variation, and is a hold that triggers a pre-read effect described later.

  Next, in step 2455, the winning hold pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 determines whether there is no trigger hold in the main game hold based on the read information. In the case of Yes in step 2455, in step 2456, the winning pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 determines whether or not the change is a change related to the trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2456, in step 2458, the prize-holding pre-reading effect determining means SM26k1 executes a prize-reading pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/20). Note that the predetermined probability does not have to be 1/20, and by changing the predetermined probability, it is possible to adjust the degree of expectation that will be a big hit by the fluctuation that triggers the prefetching effect.

  Next, in Step 2460, the winning hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k1 determines whether or not the new hold has won the winning prefetch lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2460, in step 2462, the prize-holding pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 adds information indicating that “trigger hold” is in the hold information related to the hold in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. The information is added and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2410). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2410) also in the case of No in step 2455, step 2456, or step 2460. Note that the information indicating “trigger hold” added to the hold information is deleted when the hold information is deleted when the trigger hold is used.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of prefetch effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. First, in step 2552, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM26n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the trigger hold success / failure random number delimiter information is the right / left delimiter 1. In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM26n determines the display mode of the trigger hold as rainbow (a display mode for notifying the player that it is deterministic that a big hit will be made). Then, the process proceeds to step 2562. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the success / failure random delimiter information of the trigger hold is the deterministic delimiter 1, that is, regardless of whether the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state or a non-stochastic variation gaming state, In such a case, the hold change effect for changing the trigger hold display mode to a rainbow color is executed as the specific pre-read effect. In the present embodiment, the specific prefetch effect is executed on condition that the pass / fail random number delimiter information is the pass / fail delimiter 1. However, the execution condition of the specific prefetch effect is limited to this. Alternatively, a plurality of conditions may be combined, such as executing on condition that the random number delimiter information is true / false delimiter 1 and the variation mode random number delimiter information is variable delimiter 5.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2552, in other words, if the validity random number delimiter information for holding the trigger is the right or wrong delimiter 2 or 3, in step 2556, the prefetch effect content determining means SM26n sets the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Referring to FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the trigger hold variation mode delimiter information is variation delimiter 1 or 2. In the case of Yes in step 2556, in step 2558, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n determines the display mode of the trigger hold with reference to the hold display mode determination table A, and proceeds to step 2562. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2556, in other words, when the variation mode delimitation information of the trigger hold is the variation delimiter 3 or 4 or 5, in step 2560, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n changes the display mode of the trigger hold. Determination is made with reference to the hold display mode determination table B, and the process proceeds to step 2562.

  Here, the two tables in the lower part of the figure are a hold display mode determination table A and a hold display mode determination table B. In the present embodiment, the types of display modes that can be selected when determining the display mode of the trigger hold that can change during the execution of the hold change effect with reference to the hold display mode determination table A or the hold display mode determination table B are as follows: There are three colors, red, green, and blue, which are drawn by random numbers dedicated to determining the hold display mode. When referring to the hold display mode determination table A, the blue color is most easily selected. On the other hand, when referring to the hold display mode determination table B, red and green are most easily selected, and the hold change effect is generated. The big hit expectation degree for each display mode of holding is in the order of red, green, and blue in descending order of expectation. Note that the display mode that can be changed is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the number of types is changed or the color that can be changed is changed. In addition, in this example, it is configured so that the expected degree of big hit can be suggested by the display color of the hold, but is not limited to this, for example, in the case of big hit (or combined with the expected degree of big hit) The game state after the execution of the special game may be suggested. In such a configuration, particularly in the probability variation gaming state, the display color of the suspension suggests the expectation degree to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the execution of the special game in the case of a big hit in the suspension. (For example, if the hold display color is red, the probability variation expectation is large, if the blue display probability is blue, the probability variation expectation is small, etc.), it is determined whether the probability variation gaming state advantageous to the player continues or ends. It is possible to perform an effective production.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the hold change effect is executed, the big hit expectation degree may be different depending on the display mode selected from the plural types of hold display modes, but the background change effect is the same. In addition, a plurality of types of backgrounds that can be changed may be provided, and the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the type of background selected during the performance. Furthermore, it may be configured such that the hold change effect and / or the background change effect can be executed a plurality of times during the execution of the prefetch effect (from the timing of winning the prefetch lottery to the end of the change of the main game symbol related to the trigger hold). . For example, in the case where the hold change effect is executed twice during the execution of the prefetch effect, when the display mode of the hold that changes in the first hold change effect is blue, the second time The on-hold display mode that changes in the on-hold change effect is changed to green or red, that is, every time the on-hold change effect is executed, it changes (ranks up) to a on-hold display mode with a high jackpot expectation. It is desirable to make it so that it does not detract from the player's expectations. Similarly, even when the background change effect is executed a plurality of times during execution of the pre-reading effect, each time the background change effect is executed, the background is changed (ranked up) to a high hit expectation level. It is desirable (you may configure so that a so-called rank-down that changes to a production with low expectation may occur). In this case, the stage that is ranked up by the hold change effect may be different from the stage that is ranked up by the background change effect. {For example, the display mode of the hold is ranked up by two levels and the background display mode is one level. You may rank up (even within a certain variation or during a series of pre-reading effects related to a certain trigger hold)}. Regarding the execution timing of the hold change effect and the background change effect, the change for executing the hold change effect and the change for executing the background change effect may be the same or different. Further, only one change effect (hold change effect or background change effect) may be executed before the change related to the trigger hold.

  Next, in step 2562, the prefetching effect content determination unit SM26n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage unit SM22b, and determines whether or not the trigger hold variation mode delimiter information is the variation delimiter 5.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the background change effect is configured to be executed when the change mode range is the range 3 (change mode range having a long change time). Fluctuation mode of the trigger hold that results in a loss on the main game side The random number separation information is the variable break 4 and is in a non-time-reduced gaming state when the trigger suspension occurs, and in a time-reduced gaming state when the trigger suspension occurs In this case, the change mode range is the range 3 when the trigger hold occurs, but the change mode range is the range 2 when the trigger hold is digested, so that the background change effect is executed in the situation where the change mode range is the range 2. It becomes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background change effect is executed only when the change mode random number delimiter information is the change mode random number delimiter information in which the change mode range is range 3 in both cases of trigger hold occurrence and digestion. It is configured to do. As described above, the pending change effect is configured to be executable regardless of the change mode random number separation information.

  In the case of Yes in step 2562, in step 2564, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n turns on the background change effect execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and performs the next processing (step 2426 or The process proceeds to step 2424. Even in the case of No in step 2562, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2426 or step 2424).

  In this embodiment, the hold change effect is configured to be executable regardless of the change mode random number delimiter information of the trigger hold, while the background change effect changes the change mode random number delimiter information of the trigger hold. It is configured so that it can be executed only when it is delimiter 5.

  In the present embodiment, when the pre-read lottery is won and the change mode random number delimiter information of the trigger hold is the variable break 5, the hold change effect and the background change effect occur simultaneously as the pre-read effect, and the trigger hold When the change mode random number delimiter information is the change delimiters 1 to 4 (not the variable delimiter 5), only the pending change effect is executed as the prefetch effect. The execution mode of the prefetch effect is not limited to this, and only the background change effect may be executed as the prefetch effect.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the change start prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the change start prefetch prohibition flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 2502, in Step 2504, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 determines whether or not the change is a change related to the trigger hold. If YES in step 2504, the process proceeds to step 2508. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2504, in step 2524, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 turns on the change start prefetch prohibition flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420).

  Next, in step 2508, the change start hold pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information relating to whether each hold is a trigger hold. Next, in step 2510, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the main game hold based on the read information.

  In the case of Yes in step 2510, in step 2512, the change preserving pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time-reduced gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2512, in step 2514, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 executes the change start prefetch lottery that wins with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/50) for all hold. Then, the process proceeds to step 2518. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2512, in Step 2516, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 performs the change start prefetch lottery to win with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/50), on the second main game side. The process is executed only for the hold of No. 1, and the process proceeds to Step 2518. Note that the predetermined probability may not be 1/50, and by changing the predetermined probability, it is possible to adjust the degree of expectation that the pre-reading effect will be a big hit.

  Next, in step 2518, the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 determines whether or not there is a hold in the change start prefetch lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2518, in step 2520, the change start hold pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 adds information indicating “trigger hold” to the hold selected in the change start pre-read lottery (ie, as described above). Information indicating “trigger hold” can be added when a hold occurs and when a change starts.) Next, in step 2522, the change start holding prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 turns on the change start prefetch winning flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and performs the next processing (step 2420). The process proceeds to (1). Note that the information indicating “trigger hold” added to the hold information is deleted when the hold information is deleted when the trigger hold is used.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2502, that is, if the current process is a process in the next fluctuation of the fluctuation related to the trigger hold, in step 2526, the change start hold prefetch effect determining means SM26k2 The change start prefetch prohibition flag in the flag area of the storage means SM21b is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420). It should be noted that even if No in step 2506, step 2510, or step 2518, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2420). By configuring in this way, in the next fluctuation of the fluctuation related to the trigger hold, the processing of step 2504 to step 2524 is not executed (the process related to the lottery of whether or not the trigger hold occurs at the start of the fluctuation is not executed). )

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2602, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2606, the figure display content determination unit SM21n temporarily stores the symbol variation information stored in the diagram display related information temporary storage unit SM21b (main game symbol stop symbol / variation mode, information relating to the game state, etc.). And the decorative symbol stop symbol (for example, if the stop symbol related to the main game symbol is a big hit symbol, a zoro such as “7, 7, 7”, etc.). If it is an eye or a lost symbol, it determines “1/3/5” etc. and temporarily stores it in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b.

  Next, in step 2650, the drawing display content determination means SM21n executes an effect content determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2608, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2610, the drawing display content determination means SM21n generates an effect execution schedule based on the information related to the execution of effects determined in the processing of steps 2606 and step 2650. Next, in step 2610, the drawing display content determination means SM21n generates an effect execution schedule (details will be described later) for the change based on the information related to the determined effect execution, and performs the next process (step 2700). The process proceeds to (1).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2602, in step 2612, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the value D of the notice effect determination counter SM24c and the number of times of notice effect execution scheduled for the change S, and the value of the notice effect determination counter SM24c. It is determined whether or not D is a value smaller than the scheduled number S of notice effect executions. Here, the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D and the notice effect execution scheduled number of times S are configured to be set by the processing in step 2650.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2614, the drawing display content determination means SM21n adds 1 (increment) to the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D. Next, in step 2616, the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines the content of the D-th notice effect in the variation by lottery based on the variation pattern of the decorative symbol. Next, in step 2618, the drawing display content determination unit SM21n updates the effect execution schedule based on the determined content of the notice effect, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2700). Even in the case of No in step 2612, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2700). In this way, the content of the notice effect is determined to be divided into a plurality of times in order to increase the processing efficiency of the sub-main-side routine, and in particular, a fluctuation that causes a long reach effect to be executed. In such a case, the lottery number of the notice effects may be enormous (for example, about 100 times), so that the effect of increasing the processing efficiency is effectively exhibited.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 in FIG. First, in step 2652, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether or not the change is a change related to the trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2652, in step 2654, the figure display content determination means SM21n is the symbol fluctuation information (fluctuation mode information, stop symbol information, gaming state information, etc.) stored in the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21b. , Based on the information stored in the process of step 2418), the variation pattern of the decorative symbol in the variation is determined, and the process proceeds to step 2660.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2652, in other words, in the case where the change is a change related to the trigger hold, in step 2656, the drawing display content determination means SM21n sets the change pattern of the decorative symbol in the change to the trigger hold. It is determined as a variation mode dedicated to digestion (for example, a variation mode in which a story reach effect is executed). Next, in step 2658, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns off the background change effect execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to step 2660. Here, the background change effect execution flag is a flag for executing the background change effect while it is on. In this example, the background change effect is changed to the change related to the trigger suspension by turning off in the process. The production is configured to end.

  Next, in step 2660, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n derives the execution timing of the notice effect and the number of executions S of the notice effect based on the determined variation of the decorative design. Next, in step 2662, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n sets “1” as the initial value of the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D.

  Next, in step 2664, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the background effect execution flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2664, in step 2666, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the change is a change related to the trigger suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2666, in step 2668, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n is based on the determined decoration pattern variation mode, and is D-th in the variation (in the case of executing the process, the initial value “1 "Is set, the content of the first notice effect is determined by lottery.

  Next, in step 2670, the background effect display content determining means SM23n determines the content of the background effect in the variation as “non-prefetching background”, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2608).

  Here, as shown in the background change effect display image diagram of the same figure, the background for non-prefetching is the background of the daytime and the background for exclusive use of prefetching is the background of the night. It is comprised so that it can alert | report whether it exists. In the present embodiment, the pre-read-only background is displayed when the background effect execution flag is on, and the non-pre-read background is displayed when the background effect execution flag is off.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2664 or step 2668, in step 2672, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n sets the D-th in the change (when the process is executed, the initial value “1” is set). Therefore, the content of the first notice effect is determined to be the content of the notice effect dedicated during execution of the pre-reading effect (for example, an effect that counts down the remaining number of changes until the change related to the trigger suspension). Although not shown in particular, when a change on the second main game side occurs when a notice effect over a plurality of changes is executed using the hold on the first main game side as a trigger hold, Such a notice effect is configured to be forcibly terminated. However, if no conflict occurs between the content of the notice effect and the actual game, the effect may be continued.

  Next, in step 2684, the background effect display content determination means SM23n determines the content of the background effect in the change to “background for prefetching”, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2608).

  Here, as shown in the example of the effect execution schedule in the figure, in this example, the elapsed time from the start of the change and the effect execution content can be managed in association with each other. Whenever the effect execution content in the change is determined (or changed), the effect execution schedule is updated (updated in the process of step 2610 or step 2618), thereby determining the effect to be executed in multiple times. In addition, it is possible to appropriately manage the production contents and the execution timing. In this example, since the notice effect may be executed immediately after the start of the change, the content of the first notice effect in the change is determined in the first process.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2706, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2708, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets and starts the variation time related to the variation in the effect timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2710. Note that if the result is No in step 2702, the process proceeds to step 2710.

  Next, in step 2710, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2710, in step 2712, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule. Next, in step 2714, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 has reached the decorative symbol variation start timing based on the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2714, in step 2716, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the decorative symbol variable display command (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and proceeds to step 2722.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2714, in step 2718, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 displays the decorative symbol on the basis of the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2718, in step 2720, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a decorative symbol stop display command (temporary stop display command) (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and in step 2722 Transition.

  Next, in step 2722, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25) are temporarily stored in the effect timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b). Based on the stored performance execution schedule, it is determined whether or not the display timing of the preview image or the reach image has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2722, in step 2724, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) set an image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2). And the process proceeds to step 2726. Note that if the result is No in Step 2722, the process proceeds to Step 2726.

  Next, in step 2738, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a new symbol variation end command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2738, in step 2742, the decoration symbol display control means SM21 sets (stores in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2) a decoration symbol stop display command (definite display command). Next, in step 2744, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops the effect timer SM21t and resets the value (zero clear). Next, in step 2746, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 resets (zero clears) the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D and the notice effect execution scheduled number of times S. Next, in step 2748, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (step 2800 processing). To do. It should be noted that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800) also in the case of No in step 2710 or step 2738.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of Step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and refers to whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been newly received. In the case of Yes in step 2804, in step 2808, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the big hit is the initial hit (non-probability variation / non-time shortened big hit in the gaming state) ) Is not determined. If Yes in step 2808, the process proceeds to step 2812. On the other hand, if No in step 2808 (if the big hit is the first hit), in step 2810, the background effect display control means SM23 resets (resets to zero) the consecutive times counter SM23c, and proceeds to step 2812. Note that this example is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the consecutive game number counter SM23c may be reset (zero-cleared) when the specific game ends due to reaching the upper limit fluctuation number of the specific game.

  Next, in Step 2812, the background effect display control means SM23 adds 1 (increment) to the value of the extended game count counter SM23c2. Next, in step 2814 and step 2816, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the big hit on the effect display device SG. Start display is performed (appropriate display is performed based on the type of jackpot), and the process proceeds to step 2818. In the case of No in step 2802, the process proceeds to step 2818.

  Next, in step 2818, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds, the number of winning prizes, and the number of consecutive game counters on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side. (The game may be executed as necessary based on game play, jackpot type, etc., and the consecutive resort count counter value is displayed as the consecutive resort count).

  Next, in step 2820, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the consecutive resort number counter SM23c2, and determines whether or not the counter value is a predetermined value (for example, 10) or more. In the case of Yes in step 2820, in step 2822, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the big hit being executed is the maximum round big hit (for example, 16R big hit, 7A -It is determined whether it is a big hit (7B symbol). In the case of Yes in step 2822, in step 2824, the background effect display control means SM23 determines whether the ending effect {predetermined condition (for example, the number of consecutive games during a specific game, the total number of balls earned during consecutive games, or a plurality of types) Set a command relating to the display of special effects or effects during specific games that are displayed only when a specific condition of one or a plurality of combinations is satisfied, etc.), and the process proceeds to step 2828 To do. On the other hand, if the answer is No in either step 2820 or step 2822, in step 2826, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command related to the big hit progress display, and the process proceeds to step 2828.

  By comprising in this way, based on the number of consecutive big hits in a specific game, it is possible to make a special effect to be displayed during the big hit. In addition, this example is an example to the last, It is not limited to this, For example, you may comprise so that several conditions may exist as generation | occurrence | production conditions of an ending effect.

  Next, in step 2828, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command is newly received. In the case of Yes in step 2828, in step 2832, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a special game end display instruction command (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2). Next, in step 2834, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 3000). . It should be noted that even if No in step 2804 or step 2828, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 3000).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a prefetch effect image diagram according to the present embodiment. This image diagram illustrates a case where the prefetching effect related to the first main game side is a prefetching effect in which the hold change effect and the background effect are executed in the non-time-saving game. First, the state (a) is a state in which there are two normal holding balls (holding that is not trigger holding) on the first main game side, and there is no trigger holding and the main game symbol is fluctuating. In this state, the pre-read lottery at the time of winning and the pre-read lottery at the start of change can be executed. Next, one new hold is generated on the first main game side from the state (a), and the state (b) is obtained. In the state of (b), since the newly generated hold is won in the winning pre-read lottery and becomes a trigger hold, the pre-reading effect is executed from the next change. The trigger hold is displayed in a display mode different from the normal hold (in the figure, the normal hold is indicated by a circle and the trigger hold is indicated by an asterisk). Further, since the newly generated hold becomes the trigger hold, the winning pre-read lottery and the change start pre-read lottery are not executed.

  Next, the state in which the changing main game symbol is stopped from the state of (b) is the state of (c). Next, from the state of (c), the state where the next fluctuation is started is the state of (d). In the state of (d), the hold change effect, the background effect, and the countdown effect are executed as the prefetch effects. In addition, since the number of times the main game symbol has been stopped before the start of the change related to the trigger hold is 2, the number of the countdown effect is “2”. Next, from the state of (d), (e), (f), (g) and the main game symbols are stopped twice, the countdown effect ends, and then the state in which the main game symbols start to change ( h). In the state of (h), since there is a change related to the trigger suspension, the story effect is executed as the effect content. Next, (i) is a state in which three holds are generated during the change of the trigger hold.

  Next, in the state of (j), the change related to the trigger suspension is lost, and the background effect ends. Next, the state in which the next change is started from the state of (j) is the state of (k). At the time of starting the change of (k), the pre-reading lottery at the start of change is not executed because of the next change of the change related to the trigger hold. With this configuration, the pre-reading effect such as the countdown effect is not continuously executed, and the game proceeds without confusing the player (for example, cut as a notice effect related to the pre-reading effect). When the in-effect is executed, if there is a law that determines that the cut-in effect is a look-ahead effect related to the big hit when the cut-in effect is continued four times or more, the pre-read effect over two variations ends. If the pre-reading effect is executed from the next change to the other two changes, it may happen that the game is not a big hit, which will confuse the player).

  Next, the state after the change from the state of (k) is the state of (l). After the timing (l), the pre-read lottery can be executed. In addition, in the timing of (a)-(l), since it exists in the trigger hold within the main game hold, or is a change related to the trigger hold, or the next change after the final change in which the background effect is executed. In order to prevent the production from intermingling / continuing, the prefetch lottery at the time of winning and the prefetch lottery at the start of variation are not executed.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when there is a trigger hold in the main game hold, the variable start prefetch lottery and the winning prefetch lottery are not executed and the trigger hold In the next variation of the variation related to the above, the variation start look-ahead lottery is not executed. As a result, the pre-reading effects related to multiple trigger suspensions are not continuously executed, and other pre-reading effects are not executed during the execution of the pre-reading effects, and the fluctuation of the pre-reading effects currently being executed by the player It is possible to prevent misidentification of the pre-reading effect started from the beginning, and it becomes a more user-friendly gaming machine.

  It should be noted that the execution start timing of the pre-reading effects (holding change effect, background change effect) is not limited to this example. You may comprise so that an effect can be started at the time etc. In addition, when executing the hold change effect, a display object that changes the hold appears, and such an effect that the display object changes the hold display mode (for example, a character that appears from the screen edge attacks the hold, You may comprise so that the presentation which changes the display mode of a hold | maintenance can be performed.

(Modification 1)
Here, in the present embodiment, the pre-reading effect is configured not to be continuously executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the player's misperception does not occur even if continuously executed, the pre-reading effect is continuously executed. You may comprise. Accordingly, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a first modification from the present embodiment, and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of a change start prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of Step 2500 in FIG. 18 in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. First, the change from this embodiment is about Step 2523 (Modification 1), and the purpose thereof is the fluctuation related to the trigger suspension in the first fluctuation after the execution of the special game. Even if it exists, it is comprised so that a prefetch lottery at the time of a fluctuation | variation start can be performed. That is, when the change is a change related to the trigger hold in step 2504, in step 2523 (change 1), the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the change Is not a change related to the big hit. If Yes in Step 2523 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 2524. If No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2420).

  By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the present embodiment, when the change related to the trigger hold is a big hit and the special game is executed (that is, the pre-reading effect related to the trigger hold, Since a special game is executed between the pre-reading effect related to the next hold of the trigger hold, the pre-read effect is generated even in the next change of the trigger hold when the pre-read effect continues and there is little discomfort. By being configured to be able to do so, the chances of executing the pre-reading effect increase, so that the fun of the game is enhanced.

  Note that, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when the fluctuation related to the trigger hold becomes a big hit, the change start prefetch lottery can be executed by the next fluctuation of the fluctuation related to the trigger hold. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the change related to the trigger hold becomes a big hit and the gaming state is changed, the change start look-ahead lottery can be executed with the next change of the change related to the trigger hold. Also good.

  In the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, in the next change of the special game, even when the next change is the next change of the change related to the trigger hold, the change start prefetch lottery can be executed. Although configured, the configuration in which the prefetch lottery at the start of variation can be executed for the next variation of the variation related to the trigger hold is not limited to this, for example, after the variation after the long fixed time and the suspension are all digested Any situation may be used as long as the player can recognize that the continuous pre-reading effect has ended after a predetermined time has passed since the change related to the trigger suspension, such as the change in the game state, the change after the game state is switched, and the like.

(Modification 2)
Here, in the present embodiment, the display mode of the hold is changed at the timing of winning the pre-read lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in a predetermined situation, the hold is displayed at a timing different from that of the present embodiment. You may comprise so that a display aspect may be changed. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a second modification from the present embodiment, and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of hold information management / display content determination / display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. 17 in the second modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from this embodiment are about Step 2650 (Modification 2) and Steps 2423-1 (Modification 2) to Step 2423-3 (Modification 2). When changing the hold display mode, the change timing is configured to be set at the start of the next change. That is, if the new hold is a trigger hold in step 2410, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a winning prefetch effect content determination process to be described later in step 2650 (change 2). 2426 is entered.

  In addition, after executing the pre-reading effect content determination process in step 2550 or in the case of No in step 2420, in step 2423-1 (modified 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 temporarily displays the drawing hold information. Referring to the flag area of storage means SM22b, it is determined whether or not the pending change reservation flag is on {the pending change reservation flag may be turned on in the process of step 2650 (change 2)}. In the case of Yes in step 2423-1 (variable 2), in step 2423-2 (variant 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 stores the trigger hold temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. The second hold display mode {the display mode of the hold determined by the processing in the subroutine of Step 2650 (Variation 2)} is determined as the hold display mode. Next, in step 2423-3 (modified 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns off the hold change reservation flag in the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and proceeds to step 2424. To do. On the other hand, also in the case of No in Step 2423-1 (Modification 2), the process proceeds to Step 2424.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of winning prefetch effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of Step 2650 (Modification 2) in FIG. 29 in Modification 2 from the present embodiment. In the figure, steps 2652 to 2660 are the same as steps 2552 to 2560 in the present embodiment, and steps 2662 to 2664 are the same as steps 2562 to 2564 in the present embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  First, in step 2661-1, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM26n refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and currently displays a predetermined time (in this example, a change of 120 seconds and is displayed during the super reach effect. It is determined whether or not the main game symbol, which is a variation time of a variation mode in which the hold display cannot be visually recognized by displaying a predetermined moving image in the entire region SG10) is changing. . In the case of Yes in step 2661-1, in step 2661-2, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM26n displays the hold display mode of the trigger hold determined in step 2654, step 2658 or step 2660 as the second hold display mode. Temporarily stored in the hold information temporary storage means SM22b, the hold display mode is determined to be white, which is a normal hold display color (the default display color that does not execute the pre-reading effect). Next, in step 2661-3, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n turns on the hold change reservation flag in the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and proceeds to step 2662. Note that the process moves to step 2662 also in the case of No in step 2661-1.

  By changing as described above, the effect during the change of the main game symbol that is the change time of the predetermined time (120 seconds in this example) according to the change example 2 from the present embodiment is the super reach effect, In a gaming machine configured such that the hold display cannot be visually recognized by displaying a predetermined moving image on the entire display area SG10 during the execution of the super reach effect, the pre-reading at the time of winning a prize during the execution of the super reach effect When the lottery is won, the player can visually recognize that the display mode of the hold has been changed by configuring the change of the display mode of the hold at the start of the next change, and a more user-friendly game. It becomes a machine.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 2 from the present embodiment, when the winning look-ahead lottery is won, the display mode of the hold can be changed at the start of the next change. The timing for executing the change is not limited to this, and may be an appropriate timing in accordance with the performance being executed at the time of the pre-reading lottery (for example, whether the hold display cannot be visually recognized by the player is visible). Timing etc.). In addition, the effect of changing the effect execution timing is not limited to the display mode of the hold, but a problem occurs when the prefetch effect is executed at the timing of winning the prefetch lottery (such as a player cannot be visually recognized). Any effect may be used (for example, a comment notice effect).

(Modification 3)
Moreover, the aspect of the law regarding whether or not the pre-reading effect can be executed is not limited to this, and an aspect of forcibly executing the pre-reading effect may be provided as an exception to the law. Accordingly, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a third modification from the present embodiment, and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of a winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. 19 in the third modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about Step 2451-1 (Modification 3) and Step 2466 (Modification 3), and the purpose thereof is when a suspension occurs in which the variation mode delimiter information is the variation delimiter 5. It is configured to forcibly win a pre-read lottery at the time of winning. In other words, if the time-reducing game is not being played in step 2451 or if the new hold is a hold on the second main game side in step 2452, in step 2451-1 (odd 3), the winning hold pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 is: With reference to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, it is determined whether or not the new pending variation mode separation information is the variation separation 5.

  In the case of Yes in Step 2451-1 (Modification 3), the process proceeds to Step 2454. In the case of No, in Step 2466 (Modification 3), the pre-payment pre-reading effect determining means SM26k1 temporarily displays the drawing hold information. Information indicating "trigger hold" is added to the hold information related to the hold in the storage means SM22b and temporarily stored (and information indicating that the trigger is held is deleted from other trigger holds in the main game hold) Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2410).

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 in FIG. 23 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from this embodiment is about Step 2671 (Modification 3) and Step 2673 (Modification 3), and the purpose is that the trigger hold is a hold whose change mode break information is the change break 5 and It is to be configured so that different effects can be executed in the case where there is not. That is, if No in step 2664 or step 2666 (the situation in which the background effect is executed or the change is not a change related to the trigger hold), in step 2671 (change 3), the background effect display content determination means SM23n It is determined whether or not the hold is a hold in which the change mode delimiter information is the change delimiter 5. In the case of Yes in Step 2671 (Modification 3), the process proceeds to Step 2672 and the same processing as in this embodiment is executed.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2671 (Modification 3), in Step 2673 (Modification 3), the background effect display content determination means SM23n displays the execution content of the D-th notice effect in the variation as the variation mode separation information. The content of the advance notice effect during execution of the pre-reading effect related to the trigger hold with the variable delimiter 5 is determined (for example, the effect content for displaying the special countdown until the trigger hold is used), and the process proceeds to step 2673. Here, although the details will be described later, the effect that displays the special countdown is an effect that has a different display mode than the effect that displays the countdown (hereinafter, the effect that displays the special countdown is referred to as the special countdown effect) Sometimes called).

  Next, FIG. 33 is a pre-reading effect image diagram according to Modification 3 from the present embodiment. This image diagram illustrates a case where the prefetch effect related to the first main game side is executed as a prefetch effect that executes the hold change effect and the background effect in the non-time-reduced game. In the figure, normal hold is indicated by a circle, normal trigger hold (change time 30 seconds) is indicated by a diamond, and a specific hold (hold for which change time 120 seconds is fixed) is changed. (Sometimes called trigger hold) is marked with an asterisk.

  First, the state (a) is a state in which there are two normal holding balls (holding that is not trigger holding) on the first main game side, and there is no trigger holding and the main game symbol is fluctuating. In this state, the pre-read lottery at the time of winning and the pre-read lottery at the start of change can be executed. Next, one hold is newly generated on the first main game side from the state of (a), and the state of (b) is reached. In the state of (b), since the newly generated hold is won in the winning look-ahead lottery and becomes a normal trigger hold (a variation time of 30 seconds), the look-ahead effect is executed from the next change of the main game symbol. It becomes. The normal trigger hold is displayed in a display mode different from the normal hold.

  Next, from the state of (b), the changing main game symbol stops and becomes the state of (c), and the state where the next change is started from the state of (c) is the state of (d). . In the state of (d), the hold change effect, the background effect, and the countdown effect are executed as the prefetch effects. In addition, since the number of times the main game symbol has been stopped before the start of the change related to the normal trigger hold is 2, the number of the countdown effect is “2”. Next, from the state of (d), since there are two holds and one of them (the last hold) is a specific hold, there is a state in which the trigger is forcibly held (specific trigger hold). This is the state (e). In the state of (e), the specific hold becomes a new specific trigger hold, information indicating that the trigger is on hold is deleted from the normal trigger hold, and the display mode of the hold is the same display mode as the normal hold. It has become.

  Next, the state from (e) is changed to the state (f), and the state from (f) to the next change is the state (g). Since the change is started in the situation where the specific trigger hold exists, the special countdown effect is executed instead of the countdown effect that has been executed up to the point of time (g). Further, since the number of times the main game symbol has been stopped until the start of the change related to the specific trigger hold is 3, the number of special countdown effects is “3”.

  By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to Modification 3 from the present embodiment, when a hold with the variation mode delimiter information being the variable delimiter 5 occurs, the winning prefetch lottery is forcibly won. By configuring as described above, it is possible to adjust the appearance rate of the pre-reading effect, and it is possible to provide an exceptional rule that the pre-reading effect is forcibly executed as the execution rule of the pre-reading effect, and the variation of the pre-reading effect is widened. Become. In addition, the expectation that the prefetching effect related to the hold whose fluctuation mode break information is the variable break 5 is a big hit is forcibly set higher than the expectation that the prefetching effect related to the hold other than the hold is a big hit. Even if the pre-reading effect is executed, the expectation of the big hit does not decrease, and it becomes a user-friendly gaming machine.

  In addition, when a prefetch effect related to the hold whose variation mode break information is the variable break 5 is forcibly executed during a prefetch effect, the big hit expectation in the prefetch effect related to the hold is more than the big hit expectation degree in the certain prefetch effect. For example, when a pre-reading effect related to a hold whose variation mode delimiter information is variable delimiter 5 occurs, the trigger hold related to the pre-read effect is always a big hit. Also good.

(Modification 4)
Here, in the modified example 3 from the present embodiment, when a specific suspension occurs, the winning pre-read lottery is configured to be always won, but the configuration that the pre-read lottery is always won is not limited to this, You may comprise so that a pre-read lottery may be won at the time of a fluctuation | variation start. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a fourth modification from the present embodiment, and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of a winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. 19 in Modification 4 from the present embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about Step 2457 (Modification 4) and Step 2466 (Modification 4), and the purpose thereof is that the variation mode random number delimiter information fluctuates in the situation where there is no trigger hold in the hold. In the case where a hold that is a break 5 occurs, the hold is always configured to win a pre-read lottery at the time of winning. That is, if there is no trigger hold in the main game hold in step 2456, in step 2457 (change 4), the winning hold pre-reading effect determining means SM26k1 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the new It is determined whether or not the pending variation mode random number delimiter information is the variation delimiter 5.

  In the case of Yes in Step 2457 (Variation 4), the process proceeds to Step 2458, and in the case of No, in Step 2466 (Variation 4), the prize-holding pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 is the drawing hold information temporary storage means. With reference to the hold information in SM22b, information indicating "trigger hold" is added to the hold information related to the new hold and temporarily stored (and other trigger hold in the main game hold is a trigger hold) The information to that effect is deleted), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2410).

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of a change start prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of Step 2500 in FIG. 19 in Modification 4 from the present embodiment. First, the changes from this embodiment are about Step 2530 (Modification 4) and Step 2532 (Modification 4), and the purpose is that there is a variable mode random number delimiter information with a variable delimiter 5 hold in the main game hold. In this case, the suspension is configured to win a pre-read lottery at the start of change. That is, after the change start prefetch prohibition flag is turned off in step 2526, in step 2530 (change 4), the change start hold prefetch effect determining means SM26k2 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the main game It is determined whether or not there is a hold of the change mode random number delimiter information with the change delimiter 5 within the hold. In the case of Yes in Step 2530 (Variation 4), in Step 2532 (Variation 4), the change start hold prefetch effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the hold information in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the change time Add the information indicating that the trigger order is “hold on trigger” to the hold information related to the earliest hold out of the hold that becomes a specific time, and temporarily store it (assuming that the change prefetch lottery was won) Control goes to step 2522. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2530 (Modification 4), the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2420).

  By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 4 from the present embodiment, in a situation where the pre-reading effect is being executed, when the variation mode random number delimiter information is suspended for the variable delimiter 5, By configuring so that the pre-reading effect with the hold as the trigger hold can be executed from the start of the change after the end of execution of the pre-read effect (at the start of the next change of the change related to the trigger hold), Can prevent a situation in which a player is confused by executing a pre-reading effect (a pre-reading effect in which a change mode random number delimiter information is a hold of a variable delimiter 5 as a trigger hold), and a user-friendly gaming machine can be provided. Become.

  In the gaming machine according to the modified example 4 from the present embodiment, when the prefetch lottery is executed when the variation mode random number delimiter information is held with the variable delimiter 5, execution of the prefetch effect is ended. The pre-reading effect is configured to be executed at the start of the subsequent change (after the end of the change related to the trigger hold). Is not limited, and it may be configured such that the prefetch effect related to the hold does not occur even when a hold whose change mode break information is the change break 5 occurs during execution of the prefetch effect.

  Further, in this example, the winning prefetch lottery can be executed even during the fluctuation related to the trigger hold, but the winning prefetch lottery may not be executed during the fluctuation relating to the trigger hold. When configured in this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which another pre-reading effect is executed from the next change after the pre-reading effect is finished, and the player can pre-read regardless of the content of the effect related to the pre-reading effect. It will be possible to recognize the final variation of the production.

  In this example, it is configured to be able to execute the pre-reading lottery at the start of change for the hold that will be digested after the end of the change. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to configure so that the change can also be executed (the change can be a change related to the trigger suspension). When configured in this way, even after the hold is digested and the fluctuation is started, the display mode of the digested hold is displayed in the gaming machine configured to continuously display the display related to the digested hold. It is possible to execute a pre-reading effect such as changing.

  In this example, when the prefetch lottery at the time of winning is executed, if there is a trigger hold in the hold, the prefetch lottery at the time of winning is not executed. It is not limited, and it may be configured not to execute the pre-fetch lottery at the time of winning, on condition that there is a big hit hold in the hold, a specific change in the hold (variation mode etc. that becomes reach change), etc. Good.

(Second Embodiment)
Here, in this embodiment, whether or not to shift to the probability-variable gaming state after the special game is determined based on the stop symbol of the main game symbol. The second embodiment is an example of a configuration that does not impair the player's interest in the game even during the execution of the special game. Only the differences will be described in detail.

  Note that the gaming machine according to the second embodiment includes a specific area C22 in which a game ball can enter and a specific area entrance detection device C22s in the second grand prize opening C20. Here, the specific area entry detection device C22s is a sensor that detects the entry of a game ball into the specific area C22, and generates specific area entry information indicating the entry at the time of entry. The game ball that has entered the second grand prize opening C20 is configured to be detected by either the second big prize opening prize detection device C21s or the specific area entry detection device C22s.

  In addition, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment has a specific area entry determining means MJ11-C22 for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the specific area C22, and a second big prize opening having the specific area C22. There is a distribution game execution control means MP36 for executing a distribution game for opening and closing C20, and a distribution game related information temporary storage means MB40b for temporarily storing information related to the processing of the distribution game. Yes.

  First, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. 5 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is step 1611 (second), step 1700 (second), and step 1650 (second), the purpose of which is to execute a sorting game. That is, in step 1611 (second), the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the number of rounds executed in the special game is determined as the distribution game execution round (in this example). 2R and 4R) is determined. In the second embodiment, two rounds that are not continuous with 2R and 4R are rounds related to the opening of the second grand prize opening C20. This is because the game ball cannot flow down during the special game. In addition, in the case of being stored in a specific place in the game area D30 (so-called “ball jam”), the game ball is re-entered into the second big prize opening C20 (or the specific area C22). The purpose is to provide an opportunity to enter the game {whether or not the game state after the special game becomes the probability variation game state depends on whether or not the second big prize opening C20 (or the specific area C22) can enter the game. This is important because it is determined}. Further, in the second embodiment, two rounds related to the opening of the second big prize opening C20 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and more rounds are related to the opening of the second big prize opening C20. It is good also as a round.

  In the case of Yes in step 1611 (second), in step 1700 (second), the allocated game execution control means MP36 executes an allocated game execution process to be described later, and proceeds to step 1634. On the other hand, if No in step 1611 (second), the process proceeds to step 1612.

  Also, after setting a special game end display instruction command to the sub side in step 1638, in step 1650 (second), the distributed game execution control means MP36 performs a game state determination process after the end of special game, which will be described later. Execute, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution process according to the subroutine of step 1700 (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, at step 1702, the allocated game execution control means MP36 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the allocated game execution flag is on. If Yes in step 1702, the process proceeds to step 1716.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1702, in step 1704, the distribution game execution control means MP36 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the stopped main game symbol is the long open symbol (4B / 5A. 5B · 7A · 7B). In the case of Yes in Step 1704, in Step 1706, the distribution game execution control means MP36 uses a long release pattern (for example, 15 seconds of release) as the release pattern of the second big prize opening C20 having the specific area C22. Then, an opening pattern designed so as to definitely enter the specific area C22 is set, and the process proceeds to Step 1710. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1704, in other words, if the stop symbol is the short open symbol (4A), in step 1708, the distribution game execution control means MP36 has the second big prize opening C20 having the specific area C22. As an opening pattern, set a short opening pattern (for example, an opening pattern designed to be a 0.1 second opening and non-entry into the specific area C22). Control goes to step 1710.

  Next, at step 1710, the allocated game execution control means MP36 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c. Next, at step 1712, the allocated game execution control means MP36 turns on an allocated game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1864, the allocation game execution control means MP36 opens the second big prize opening C20 with the set release pattern, and the routine proceeds to step 1716.

  Next, at step 1716, the allocation game execution control means MP36 confirms the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c and determines whether or not a predetermined number (10) of gaming balls have won the second big winning opening C20. To do. If Yes in step 1716, the process proceeds to step 1720. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1716, in step 1718, the allocation game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the opening period (the set opening pattern) of the second big prize opening C20 has ended. If Yes in step 1718, the process proceeds to step 1720.

  Next, at step 1720, the distribution game execution control means MP36 closes the second big prize opening C20. Next, at step 1722, the assigned game execution control means MP36 turns off the assigned game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1723, the allocated game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the specific area C22 in the allocated game execution round. In the case of Yes in step 1723, in step 1724, the allocated game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the incoming game is the first incoming game in the special game being executed. In the case of Yes in step 1724, in step 1725, the allocation game execution control means MP36 sets the specific area entry command to the sub side in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side ( In step 1930, the control command is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1726, the distribution game execution control means MP36 turns on the main game probability change transition flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1728. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1724, the process proceeds to step 1728. Note that if the answer is No in step 1723 or step 1724, the process also proceeds to step 1728. Next, at step 1728, the allocated game execution control means MP36 adds 1 to the round number counter (ends the allocated game execution round), and proceeds to the next process (the process at step 1634). Even in the case of No in step 1718, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1634).

  Next, FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 1650 (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, at step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the main game probability change transition reservation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1666, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times (80 times) in the probability variation number counter MP51c. Next, at step 1668, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1670, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number (20 times) in the limited frequency switching counter MN52c. Next, in step 1672, the specific game control means MP50 sets the predetermined number of times A (80 times) in the time reduction number counter MP52c, and proceeds to step 1676. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 sets the predetermined number of times B (50 times) in the time reduction number counter MP52c in step 1674, and proceeds to step 1676. In this example, a predetermined value is set in the limited frequency switching counter MN52c and the short time counter MP52c. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a value to be set in each counter based on the big hit symbol is set. You may comprise so that it can change.

  Next, in step 1676, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1678, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of Step 2800 in FIG. 17 in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 2817-1 (second) to step 2817-5 (second), the purpose of which is to enter the on-hold ranger confirmed specific area entry effect and the normal specific area entry effect. Is to execute. After setting the command related to the big hit start display in step 2816 or when the special game in-progress flag is on in step 2802, in step 2817-1 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 stores the main side information temporarily. Referring to means SM11b, it is determined whether or not a specific area entry command has been newly received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 287-1 (second), in step 2817-3 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the acceptance random number delimiter information is in the hold. It is determined whether or not there is a hold that is the validity block 1 or 2. In the case of Yes in step 2817-3 (second), in step 2817-4 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 determines that the on-hold consecutive resort fixed specific area entry effect (the hold that becomes a big hit in the hold is). Set a command (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2) to execute that the presence of the game and the game state after the special game being executed become a probability variation game state), and proceed to Step 2818 To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2817-3 (second), in step 2818-5 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 determines that the normal state area entry effect (the game state after the special game being executed is A command for executing an effect that informs that the game state is in the probability variation game state is set, and the process proceeds to Step 2818. In addition, also when it is No in step 2817-1 (2nd), it transfers to step 2818.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the transition to the probability variation gaming state after the special game depends on whether or not the game ball enters the specific area during the special game. By being configured so as to determine whether or not it is possible, the player can continue to play the game without losing interest in the game even during the special game, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

(Modification 1 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, the pre-read lottery can be executed at the time of occurrence of a hold (at the time of winning a prize) and the start of fluctuation of the main game symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this. May be configured to be executed. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a first modification from the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  Note that the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment includes a probability variation counter MP51c that can count the number of variations in the probability variation gaming state, and a variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the main game symbol at the limited frequency. Limited frequency variation mode determination means MN52 for determination. Further, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN52 has a limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta referred to when determining the variation mode related to the main game symbol at the limited frequency, and the limited frequency referred to in the probability variation gaming state. And a limited frequency switching counter MN52c that counts the number of fluctuations up to the timing of changing the table.

  First, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the first (second) main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. 10 in the first modification from the second embodiment. . First, the changes from the second embodiment are about steps 1411-1 (second modification 1) to steps 1411-5 (second modification 1) and step 1450, and the purpose is limited to the probability variation gaming state. It is configured to refer to the frequency table. That is, after determining the stop symbol related to the main game symbol at step 1410-2, at step 1411-1 (second variation 1), the game content determination means MN sets the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Referring to this, it is determined whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1411-1 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 1412. In the case of No, in step 1411-2 (second variation 1), the game content determination means MN is a limited frequency switching counter. With reference to the counter value of the MN 52c, it is determined whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. Next, in step 1411-3 (second variation 1), the first main game variation mode determination unit MN51-A (second main game variation mode determination unit MN51-B) performs limited frequency variation corresponding to each game state. With reference to the mode determination lottery table MN52ta (particularly, the limited frequency table 1), the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variable mode lottery random number) Based on this, the variation mode of the main game symbol is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

  Here, FIG. 41 (particularly the limited frequency table 1) is an example of the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 1 is referred to by the main game symbol variation 1 to 20 times after the end of the special game in the time-saving gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. In addition, when the limited frequency table 1 is referenced, the fluctuation on the first main game side is less profitable for the player than the fluctuation on the second main game side, so the fluctuation on the first main game side is the fluctuation on the second main game side. Compared to, the symbol variation time is relatively long. On the second main game side, the variation time is relatively shorter when referring to the limited frequency table 1 than when referring to the limited frequency table 2 described later.

  Next, in step 1411-4 (second variation 1), the game content determination means MN decrements the counter value of the limited frequency switching counter MN52c by 1, and proceeds to step 1414. On the other hand, if step 1411-2 (second variation 1) is No, in step 1411-5 (second variation 1), first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determination means MN51). -B) refers to the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta (particularly, the limited frequency table 2) corresponding to each gaming state, and determines the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game). Based on (game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number), the variation mode of the main game symbol is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and step 1414 Migrate to That is, the game state after the end of the special game is determined by the presence or absence of the game ball entering the specific area C22 during the special game, as shown in Modification 1 from the second embodiment (and the second embodiment). In the gaming machine, the variation mode determination table (for example, the limited frequency table) to be referred to differs together with the gaming state after the end of the special game depending on whether or not the gaming ball has entered the specific area C22.

  Here, FIG. 41 (particularly the limited frequency table 2) is an example of the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 2 is referred to in the main game symbol variation 21 to 80th time after the end of the special game in the time-reduced gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. Further, when the limited frequency table 2 is referenced, the fluctuation on the first main game side is less profitable for the player than the fluctuation on the second main game side, so the fluctuation on the first main game side is the fluctuation on the second main game side. The symbol variation time is configured to be relatively long compared to (because the second main game side can be reserved during the variation of the main game symbol on the first main game side). Note that a specific variation mode “BX” (details will be described later) exists as a variation mode at the time of hitting referred to on the second main game side of the limited frequency table 2. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the specific variation mode is configured to be provided only in the variation mode at the time of hitting, but there is no problem even if it is provided at the time of loss. However, as will be described later, the specific variation mode “BX” is a variation mode in the case where there is a hold scheduled to be a hit in a situation where the symbol related to the variation mode is changing. Since the purpose is to suggest or notify the existence of a hold scheduled to be the hit, during the symbol change related to this specific change mode “BX” or when the change is stopped, It is desirable to configure different notification modes to be executed when there is a hold scheduled to become and when there is no hold scheduled to be a hit (about this point) Details will be described later). In addition, during the time reduction / probability variation gaming state (so-called ST), regarding the variation time when the hold on the first main game side occurs, the hold on the second main game side with high profit expectation for the player occurs. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a big hit is made on the first main game side during ST (especially, a big hit related to a long open symbol), the second is set. It may be configured to have the same variation time (and production) as the main game side, and when the first main game side is a big hit during ST, the second main game side is a big hit You may comprise so that the effect which is not selected (For example, it is an effect which inquires whether it becomes a long open big hit, and may be the effect in special game execution). Moreover, you may provide a some pattern also about the fluctuation | variation time in the case of becoming lost.

  In addition, after turning on the condition device operation flag in step 1440 or when the stop symbol is not a big hit symbol in step 1430, in step 1450, the game content determination means MN executes a specific game end determination process described later. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 (second variation 1) in FIG. 10 in Modification 1 from the second embodiment. First, the changes from the second embodiment are about step 1470 (second variation 1) to step 1476 (second variation 1), and the purpose is to end the probability variation gaming state depending on the number of variations of the main game symbol. Is to be able to do so. That is, in step 1470 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the counter value of the probability variation number counter MP51c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1470 (second variation 1), in step 1472 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 decrements (decrements) the count value of the probability variation number counter MP51c. Next, in step 1474 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the counter value of the probability variation number counter MP51c, and the counter value (the remaining number of variation until the probability variation gaming state ends) is 0. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1474 (second variation 1), in step 1476 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 sets the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Turn off and go to step 1454. Note that if the answer is No in step 1470 (second variation 1) or step 1474 (second variation 1), the process also proceeds to step 1454.

  Next, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the hold information management / display content / display control process according to the subroutine of Step 2200 in FIG. 17 in Modification 1 from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are step 2428 (second variation 1) and step 2430 (second variation 1), and the purpose thereof is a prefetch lottery at the time of winning and a prefetching at the start of variation in the probability variation gaming state. It is configured not to execute the lottery. That is, in step 2408, the hold information (random value) transmitted from the main side is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and then in step 2428 (second variation 1), the drawing hold information display control is performed. The means SM22 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2124 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 2450, and a process related to winning prefetch determination is executed. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2428 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 2426 without executing the process related to the prefetch determination at the time of winning.

  In step 2418, the hold information (random value) related to the symbol variation is deleted from the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the remaining hold information is shifted. Then, in step 2430 (second change 1), The drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in Step 2430 (second modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 2500, and the process related to the change start prefetch determination is executed. In the case of No, the process related to the change start prefetch determination is not executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 2426.

  Next, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. 17 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are about step 2714-1 (second variation 1), step 2714-2 (second variation 1), and step 3400 (second variation 1), and the purpose is in the middle of variation. It is to execute a pre-read lottery. That is, in step 2714-1 (second variation 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the variation mode of the main game symbol being varied is the specific variation mode. It is determined whether or not. In this example, the specific variation mode is “BX” which is a variation mode (in this example, a variation time of 40 seconds) that can be selected only when referring to the limited frequency table 2. During the variation of the main game symbol, a pre-variation prefetch lottery to be described later is executed.

  In the case of Yes in step 2714-1 (second variation 1), in step 2714-2 (second variation 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and It is determined whether or not the symbol variation has reached the pre-read lottery timing (30 seconds from the variation start). In the case of Yes in step 2714-2 (second variation 1), in step 3400 (second variation 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 executes a pre-change prefetch execution process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2722. . Note that if the answer is No in step 2714-1 (second modification 1) or step 2714-2 (second modification 1), the process proceeds to step 2718.

  In the first modification from the second embodiment, a timer is used to determine whether or not the variation of the decorative symbol according to the specific variation mode has reached a predetermined timing (30 seconds from the variation start). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, blinking pattern data that is set for each variation mode and is information related to the lighting mode of the illumination lamp with the passage of time. The column includes trigger information indicating the timing at which the pre-read lottery is executed, and when the illumination lamp blinks in accordance with the content of the illumination lamp blink pattern data sequence, the electric power associated with the timing indicated by the trigger information is displayed. You may comprise so that the change look-ahead lottery may be performed simultaneously with performing lighting of a decoration lamp. By configuring in this way, it is possible to execute the prefetch variation lottery surely at the timing intended by the design by executing the blinking pattern data that is constructed in advance with the passage of time. Therefore, there is a merit that there is no need to use a timer to measure the execution timing. That is, in the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM for controlling the execution timing of the effect, including the decorative symbol change display and the stop display, the effect execution data constructed in advance with the passage of time. Therefore, it is sufficient to include trigger information, so even if it is not in the data for performing the performance using such an electric lamp, it is in other data (for example, for controlling the operation of the movable object for rendering) Even if the trigger information is included in the data), the same merit can be obtained.

  In the first modification from the second embodiment, “BX” is a specific variation mode, but the present invention is not limited to this. Or the second main game side) or the number of holds may be appropriately changed.

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of a pre-change prefetch execution process according to the subroutine of Step 3400 (second modified 1) in FIG. 44 in Modification 1 from the second embodiment. First, in step 3402, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information relating to whether each hold on the second main game side is a trigger hold. Next, at step 3404, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26, based on the read information, whether there is a trigger hold (holding won in the following pre-variation pre-draw lottery) in the hold on the second main game side. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 3404, in step 3406, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 determines each of the second main game side based on the hold information (e.g. random number for random determination) in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Pre-determining whether the hold is successful or not. Next, in step 3408, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 refers to the pre-determined result of each hold on the second main game side, and whether or not there is a big hit in the second main game hold. Determine whether. In this process, it is determined whether or not there is a big hit hold in order from the earliest hold in the second main game hold. It is configured to execute a prefetch lottery during the change. In other words, each hold on the first main game side that becomes a non-priority digest side (and relatively disadvantageous for the player), and after the earliest hold that becomes a big hit even on the second main game side hold For each hold, it is configured not to be able to execute the pre-variation pre-drawing lottery, but the purpose of this configuration is that the process of performing pre-change pre-draw lottery is performed at the same time as the performance execution currently in progress. Since it is necessary to have an immediate responsiveness that can be performed in parallel and that the content of the currently executed performance can be changed according to the lottery result, the extra lottery processing is omitted as much as possible. It is supplemented that the above wrinkle is configured not to occur.

  In the case of Yes in step 3408, in step 3410, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 performs the pre-change lottery lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/2) only for the first hold that becomes a big hit on the second main game side. Execute on the target. Next, in step 3412, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not the first jackpot hold has won the variable prefetch lottery executed in step 3410. In the case of Yes in step 3412, in step 3414, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 adds “trigger hold” to the hold information related to the hold won in the change pre-read lottery in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Is added and temporarily stored. Next, in step 3416, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 rewrites the stop symbol of the decorative symbol related to the change into a special stop symbol, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2722). It should be noted that if the result in step 3404, step 3408, or step 3412 is No, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2722).

  Here, the right side of the figure is an image of execution of the prefetching effect during the change. This image diagram wins the pre-change lottery lottery executed during the change of the main game symbol (change mode “BX”, change time 40 seconds) (when 30 seconds have passed since the start of change), The case where the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is rewritten is illustrated. First, at the start of the change, the decorative symbol to be stopped is “777”. The variation time of the decorative symbol elapses, and when the prefetch lottery timing (30 seconds from the start of variation) is reached, the variation prefetch lottery is executed, and the variation prefetch lottery is won. Here, by winning the pre-change lottery during the change, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is rewritten from “777” to “AAA” which is a special stop symbol. Then, it reaches 40 seconds from the start of variation, which is the decorative symbol stop timing, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at “AAA”, which is the symbol to be stopped after being rewritten. By visually recognizing “AAA” which is a special stop symbol, the player can know that there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the second main game hold in addition to the big hit related to the change.

  In the first modification from the second embodiment, the change prefetch lottery can be executed only for the big win in the second main game hold, but the invention is not limited to this. A special figure type (whether it is a hold on the first main game side or a hold on the second main game side) that can execute the pre-read lottery or whether or not the hold is held may be appropriately changed. In addition, the winning probability of the prefetch lottery may be changed, or may be 1/1 (for example, the prefetch lottery is always won when there is a big hit in the main game hold at the time of prefetch lottery determination). In addition, even when it is configured to be able to execute the changing prefetch lottery only for the big win in the second main game holding, the special game in which the changing prefetch lottery has a specific round number (for example, 16R). You may comprise so that it may perform only with respect to the jackpot hold concerning.

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to Modification 1 from the second embodiment, a specific variation mode is provided in the variation mode of the main game symbol, and the decorative symbol according to the specific variation mode is in the middle of the variation. When the pre-variation pre-drawing lottery is executed at a predetermined timing and the pre-change pre-draw lottery is won, the stop display design of the decorative design in the variation related to the specific variation mode is displayed as a special special stop design (in this example, (AAA)) can be changed (rewritten), and when the special stop symbol is stopped and displayed as a big hit, there is a big hit in the second main game side hold. Therefore, it is possible to create a new gameability that is notified to the player.

  In addition, since it is configured to be able to execute the pre-change lottery at a predetermined timing during the change of the decorative symbol related to the specific change mode (30 seconds from the start of change in the change for 40 seconds), pre-reading at the start of the change Compared to the case where the lottery is executed, the pre-read lottery can be executed even for the holding that occurs from the start of the change to the execution timing of the pre-change lottery, and a special stop symbol that informs the high profit of the player appears This will increase the fun of the game.

  In the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, the pre-change lottery during the change is configured not to be executed in the same game state (non-probability variable game state) as the other pre-read lotteries. The present invention is not limited, and it may be configured such that all the prefetch lotteries can be executed in the same gaming state. In such a configuration, it is desirable to prevent the pre-reading effects from continuing to prevent the player from recognizing which pre-reading effect is being executed.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the pre-change lottery in the middle of a change and other pre-read lotteries (a pre-read lottery at the time of winning, a pre-read lottery at the start of change, etc.) are executed in the same gaming state. If the pre-reading effect related to the other pre-read lottery is executed, the change pre-read lottery can be executed, and if the pre-change pre-draw lottery is won, the change You may comprise so that the prefetch effect which concerns on the said change prefetch lottery may be forcibly performed from the winning timing of prefetch lottery on the way. In addition, when the variation mode of the trigger hold related to the prefetch effect related to the other prefetch lottery is a specific variation mode, the prefetch lottery during the variation may be executed during the variation related to the trigger hold. .

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to Modification 1 from the second embodiment, when winning in the pre-change lottery lottery, it is configured to change only the stop symbol of the decorative symbol from the winning timing of the pre-read lottery, The present invention is not limited to this, and it is configured to change the changing effect to a specific effect (for example, an effect of notifying that the winning pre-draw lottery during the change) in addition to the decorative symbol stop symbol. Also good. In addition, when winning the prefetch lottery during the change, not only rewriting the stop symbol (or the effect to be executed) related to the currently changing symbol change, but also the change related to the trigger hold existing in the second main game hold You may comprise so that the stop symbol (or production to be performed) in each fluctuation | variation until may also be rewritten.

  In addition, the effect content during the fluctuation related to the specific fluctuation mode (in this example, “BX”, the big hit fluctuation) becomes a big hit with the expectation that the big hit hold exists in the hold or the hold existing in the hold. It may be configured to be determined based on the profit mode in the case of. For example, as in this example, when the percentage of jackpots that shift to the probability-variable gaming state after the end of the special game is 100%, the jackpot holding that exists in the holding is the holding for the high profit jackpot (16R probability variable jackpot). In some cases, an effect in which a boss monster appears is executed, and in the case of a hold related to a low profit jackpot (2R probability variable jackpot), an effect in which a small fish monster appears can be executed. Depending on the type of monster that appears in the changing production, it will be informed that it will be a big hit (so-called “reserved in-residence villa”) due to the on-hold that exists in the on-hold, and the profit mode in the case of the in-hold ream Production can be performed.

  When configured in this way, from the time of the change pre-fetch lottery winning until the digestion of the jackpot hold existing in the second main game hold (period including the loss change in case of the change of the loss) Further, it may be configured to perform an effect as if winning one special game that is a profit mode of two special games (for example, 32R with 16R × 2). For example, the boss monster A appears as an effect during a special game according to a specific variation mode, the effect of defeating the boss monster A during a variation related to the main game pattern after the special game is continuously displayed, and the special game related to the trigger hold Occasionally, by making boss monster B appear, a series of productions in which boss monster A and boss monster B appear are executed during the period from the change related to the specific change mode to the end of the special game related to the reserved game. Therefore, it is possible to produce an effect as if the big hit (for example, 32R special game) exceeding the maximum profit big hit profit mode is executed in one special game for the player.

  In addition, when it is configured to be able to execute an effect for informing the reserved resort, the ending effect (the number of extended resorts is 10 times), especially during the execution of a special game related to the on-hold reservation related to the on-hold extended resort. In the case where an effect that is executed only when a predetermined condition such as arrival is satisfied is scheduled to be executed, it can be notified that the ending effect is scheduled to be executed during a special game related to the hold within the hold. You may comprise. Further, as described above, a series of periods from the special game related to the change of the specific change mode to the special game related to the big hit in the hold (here, the hold where the ending effect is executed). In this way, it is possible to execute an ending effect that displays a moving image having a longer execution scale than the conventional ending effect (for example, the digestion time per special game 1R is 8 seconds). In this case, the performance execution scale of at least 256 seconds can be secured with 32R).

  In addition, the variation mode for executing the pre-change lottery is configured so that it can be selected only at the big hit (for example, 16R probability variable big hit) that gives the highest profit to the player, and when the predetermined timing is reached during the fluctuation of the highest profit big hit, It is determined whether there is a maximum profit jackpot hold in the hold, and if there is a maximum profit jackpot hold in the hold, the stop pattern in the change related to the highest profit jackpot currently being changed is changed to a special special stop pattern. If the special stop symbol (which will be the highest profit jackpot) is stopped and displayed, the highest profit jackpot for the change will be executed, and the suspension will be set as the highest profit jackpot. Since the player is informed that the 16R probability variation big hit will be executed a plurality of times within 5 fluctuations, the effect (the special stop symbol is stopped) The effect) shown it is possible to increase once the excitement of the player.

  Further, in the first modification from the second embodiment, the specific variation mode for executing the pre-variation pre-drawing lottery can be selected only during the probability variation / time-reduced gaming state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a specific variation mode may be selected even in a time shortening / non-stochastic variation gaming state, or a normal game is won in an auxiliary game, and the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is long. When the time is released (for example, continuously for 5 seconds), the specific variation mode can be selected in the hold on the second main game side generated by the game ball entering the second main game start opening B10. You may comprise.

  In the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 2 can be referred to in the probability variation / time shortening gaming state. However, in the non-probability variation gaming / time shortening gaming state, Alternatively, the limited frequency table 2 may be referred to.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, when the special stop symbol is stopped, there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the second main game hold. Therefore, during the special game related to the special stop symbol or after the special game related to the special stop symbol, the effect of notifying that the special game is won again within the hold may be executed.

  In the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the pre-read lottery can be executed at the timing when the winning prize is held or the timing at which the main game symbol starts to be changed. For example, it may be configured such that the prefetch lottery can be executed at a timing when a game ball enters a specific area during a special game. In addition, when configured in this way, at the timing when a game ball enters the specific area, the game state (specific specification) after the special game being executed is completed with reference to the random number separation information of the main game holding ball. Pre-decision effect (for example, game) limited to special games only when a hold that becomes a big hit is present in the main game hold is executed for all the hold, in the probability change game state because it has entered the area. It is an effect that generates a sound effect that informs the user that there is a big hit in the main game hold, and a so-called on-hold extended resort notice effect, etc.) may be executed.

  Also, in such a configuration, the pre-reading effect limited to the special game is executed when it becomes a failure determination 2 which is a failure random separation information that becomes a loss in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and a big hit in the probability variation gaming state. It is desirable to be configured to obtain. By configuring in this way, in the winning / missing delimiter information which is the winning / randomizing delimiter information which is a big hit in both the probability varying gaming state and the non-stochastic varying gaming state, the pending winning timing or main game symbol variation start As a look-ahead effect that can be executed at the same time, a hold change effect that changes to a rainbow color is executed. The pre-play effect limited to the special game can be executed as a pre-read effect that can be executed when the game ball enters the specific area during execution, and it is appropriate that the two pre-read effects are not executed simultaneously. A pre-reading effect can be executed {In addition, a ball entering a specific area (= Can also have the meaning that effect the transition to change gaming state notifying determined)}. In addition, regarding the hold which is the success / failure break 1, since both the probability variation gaming state and the non-probability variation gaming state become a big hit, the on-hold consecutive villa advance notice effect (for example, the rainbow color indicating that the hold is a big hit decision) Even if the game ball does not enter the specific area C22 after executing the display that changes to the display of the game, if it is a hold of the effect (for example, the hold 2), the game ball will be displayed in the specific area C22. Therefore, it is possible to execute an appropriate pre-reading effect (particularly, an effect for notifying that a big hit is confirmed) that does not occur when a non-stochastic game state is not entered.

  In this example, the main game content determination random number information, the failure random number delimiter information, the variation mode random number delimiter information, and the variation mode range information are configured to be transmitted to the sub side at the timing when the hold is won. The information to be transmitted to is not limited to this, but information related to the main game symbols that are stopped, information related to the main game symbols that are jackpots (number of special game rounds related to the main game symbols scheduled to stop, etc.) ), The number of holdings immediately after the winning of the holding (the number of holdings on the winning side of the first main game side or the second main game side may be only the holding number of both the first main game side and the second main game side) You may comprise so that the information which concerns on etc. can be transmitted.

  In this example, the pre-read lottery is not executed when there is a trigger hold in the main game hold. However, the condition for not performing the pre-read lot is not limited to this. For example, the main game Pre-fetch lottery when there is a hold with a fluctuation time of a predetermined time or more in the hold, or when there is a hold with a reach change (change of the main game symbol that will execute the reach effect) It may be configured not to execute.

  As a configuration of the gaming machine according to the present example, the main game symbol is changed once, after “temporary stop display of left / middle / right symbols → re-change (so-called pseudo change)” is repeated a plurality of times. By stopping the game symbol, it is possible to execute pseudo-continuous variation, which is an effect technique that shows the player as if the main game symbol fluctuates multiple times during one variation of the main game symbol. May be. In addition, in such a configuration, during execution of the pre-reading effect, as a changing effect related to the hold that is digested before the trigger hold, the pseudo continuous change is not executed, and the changing effect related to the trigger hold is You may comprise so that a pseudo | simulation continuous variation can be performed.

In the present example, the lottery timing of the pre-read lottery is set at the time of the on-hold occurrence, at the start of the change, and during the change, but the lottery timing of the pre-read lottery is not limited to this, and may be executed at the following timing.
≪Lottery timing for pre-read lottery≫
・ When the main game symbol is suspended (temporary stop or finalized) ・ When the sub-input button is pressed ・ When the hold is used up

In this example, the execution mode of the pre-reading effect is configured to be able to execute two effects of changing the hold display mode and executing the background effect, and configured to be able to execute both of the two effects. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution mode of the prefetch effect may be configured as follows.
≪ Execution mode of prefetching production≫
There are multiple types of pre-reading effects, but only one is executed (only one effect is won in one pre-read lottery).
When the pre-reading effects are being executed, the same type of pre-reading effects are not drawn, but different types of pre-reading effects can be drawn (can be executed).
When a pre-reading effect is being executed, if the same type of pre-reading effect is won, it is determined that a different type of pre-reading effect has been won (changing the pre-reading effect).
-A prefetch effect that can be executed is determined based on the gaming state.
The prefetch effect that can be executed is determined based on the variation mode selection pattern (if the variation mode selection pattern differs depending on the limited frequency, the prefetch effect that can be executed is different).
A plurality of types of pre-reading effects are drawn simultaneously at a certain timing (at other timings, there is only one type of pre-reading effect lottery).

(Third embodiment)
Here, as one form of the pre-reading effect, a part of certain character information is displayed for each variation started from the time when the trigger suspension is generated until the digest of the trigger suspension, and the character information displayed for each variation. It is also possible to execute an effect such that certain character information (for example, a word indicating the expected degree of jackpot of the trigger hold) is completed.

  In this case, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 uses the logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) referred to when selecting one character information from the plurality of character information, and information related to the hold prefetch result. Based on the look-ahead logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown), which is referred to in order to determine the timing for displaying one character information, and the timing for displaying one character information within one variation period of the decorative symbol The table further includes a normal logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown) that is referred to in order to determine the above.

Here, Table 1 is an example of a logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) possessed by the reservation prefetch effect execution control means SM26. As can be seen from this table, one character information, such as “C” or “ANCE”, does not make sense as a single piece of information, but by displaying multiple pieces of character information continuously over a certain period of time. Are configured to make sense as specific information such as English words (for example, “C”, “H”, “ANCE” are displayed in succession to form an English word “CHANCE”. ) However, this is an example, and if specific information can be configured, the character information does not depend on the language, and a graphic or a color may be used instead of the character word. In this example, the logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) possessed by the reservation prefetch effect execution control means SM26 is configured to be the same as this table, but is configured as a separate table. May be. In this case, different character information may be displayed as specific information, or the same specific information may be displayed, but one character information may be displayed differently (for example, “CH” “ The word “AN” and “CE” may be displayed in succession to form the English word “CHANCE”).

Table 2 is an example of a pre-read logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown). As can be seen from this table, in this example, one character information in the table of Table 2 is continuously displayed on the basis of the information related to the hold prefetch result, so that it makes sense as specific information. (For example, by displaying “C” for the first hold, “H” for the second hold, and “ANCE” for the third hold in each change over the three fluctuations in the number of holds. The English word “CHANCE” is composed at the time of digestion of the third hold.) In this example, the pseudo-presence logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown) included in the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 is configured to be the same as this table, but separate tables. You may comprise. In this case, different character information may be displayed as the specific information, or the character information may be the same, but displayed at different display timings (for example, the above-described example of the number of hold three times) On the other hand, by displaying “C” and “H” in the first pseudo variation, and “ANCE” in the second pseudo variation, the English word “CHANCE” is formed at the time of the second pseudo variation digestion) You may comprise. In addition, although the normal logo step-up notice effect selection table is not shown, one character information is continuously displayed within one symbol fluctuation period in a normal symbol fluctuation (a situation in which no pre-reading fluctuation or pseudo fluctuation occurs). The table is referred to for display.

  Next, FIG. 46 is an operation diagram of the pre-read logo step-up notice effect. First, when a trigger hold occurs in the fourth hold, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 performs the logo step in the hold 1st to the 4th hold so that the effect is completed when the trigger hold stored in the fourth hold is completed. The character information related to the up notice effect is determined and stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b (first row in FIG. 46). Next, after the trigger hold occurs, the symbol variation related to the first hold is started, and at the same time “C”, which is the first character information on hold stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, is displayed in the display area SG10. Is displayed. Moreover, simultaneously with the output of the character information related to the first hold, the character information related to the second hold, the third hold, and the fourth hold stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b respectively. Shifted to the storage area (second stage in FIG. 46). In the same process, when the process proceeds until the trigger suspension is completed (the third to fifth stages in FIG. 46), “C”, “H”, “E”, and “RRY!” Over four symbol variations. Will be output. In this example, after the character information related to a specific hold is output, the character information before the previous time is erased when the next hold is displayed and the next character information is output. However, it is not limited to this. In that case, the displayed character information may remain until the character information related to the trigger hold is output after the character information related to the specific hold is output.

  According to this example, specific character information such as a word is divided into a plurality of character parts, and these character parts are divided and displayed over a plurality of symbol variations, so that all the character parts are displayed. When the character information is constructed, the meaning of the notice display can be reliably transmitted to the player by the character information, and at the stage where all the character parts are not displayed, various notice indications are displayed. Since the possibility is made to be imagined by the player, there is an effect that the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, since the character parts can be selected so that the presentation is completed when the trigger is reserved, the character information can be easily converted into the character parts for the number of times until the trigger is reserved. . In this example, the character parts can be selected so that the effect is completed when the trigger is reserved, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, a lottery table for selecting a character part for each pending digest until the trigger pending digest is provided, and a character part can be selected by a lottery at each reserved digest (for example, In the example of FIG. 46, the lottery table is configured so that “CH” and “CHE” can be selected as well as the case where “C” is selected as the first character information on hold.

(Fourth embodiment)
Here, although different from this example, the variation pattern table may be configured so that the number of variation table selection values is shared within the same group regardless of the gaming situation.

The point here is that the variation pattern table is configured so that the number of variation table selection values is shared within the same group regardless of the gaming situation. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 47, the variation pattern table includes the outlier table of FIG. 11A and the hit table of FIG. The detachment table is a normal game (A) table that is referenced when the number of reserved balls is less than a predetermined number (for example, less than three), and is referenced when the number of reserved balls is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, three or more). It is composed of a normal game (B) table, a probability variation table, and a variation shortening table, and a plurality of variation patterns (for example, the expectation level per hit is the same or the expectation level is relatively similar) (Variation patterns) are grouped, and regardless of the gaming situation, each group is configured to correspond to the same range of effect determination random numbers (the number of variation table selection values is shared) (however, the group For each of the variation patterns, the production decision random numbers in different ranges correspond to the game situation). For example, when a normal game (A) table and a time-reduced game table are compared, both are configured to be effect determination random numbers within the same range (0 to 180) within the group A. However, with respect to the variation patterns 1 and 2 belonging to the group A, the effect determination random numbers in different ranges correspond to the game situations. In the case of the winning table, regardless of the gaming situation, the group is configured to produce the same range of effect determination random numbers within the group, but unlike the losing table, the gaming situation is also related to all variation patterns belonging to the group. Thus, the production determination random numbers in the same range correspond. By adopting the configuration as described above, even if the game situation changes after the hold information is transmitted to the display control device 200, if the hold display corresponding to the group is displayed, the frequency of switching is reduced.

(Fifth embodiment)
Although not particularly shown in the present example, it may be configured to win a small hit. Here, the small win is a hit on the main game side, and by winning the small hit, a predetermined opening end condition (for example, a predetermined number of balls entering the big prize opening or a predetermined opening pattern) The unit game that opens (or opens and closes) the big prize opening is satisfied only once until (end) is satisfied. In addition, the gaming state (in particular, the main game winning probability, the auxiliary game winning probability, and the auxiliary game variation time) does not change with the small hit. In addition, in the same manner (or substantially the same) as the opening mode of the big winning opening with small hits (for example, 0.5 seconds opened → 1.0 seconds closed → 0.5 seconds opened → closed) You may have a big hit to open. In addition, by changing the opening time and number of opening of the big prize opening during special games, even if the number of rounds to be executed is the same big hit, the big winning (the opening of the big winning opening is large) The time is long, for example, the 16R jackpot that performs 16 times of opening for a maximum of 30 seconds, and the big jackpot with a small expected value of the number of winning prize balls (the opening time of the big prize opening is short, for example, the opening for a maximum of 30 seconds is 8 And a maximum of 16R which is a maximum of 0.5 seconds of opening and a maximum of 8 seconds, and a jackpot that can be expected to get a lot of balls for 8R.

(Sixth embodiment)
In addition, although not specifically illustrated in this example, the pre-reading effect related to the hit hold (for example, an effect that is continuously executed over one or a plurality of symbol variations, and when the effect is executed) As a condition for executing a jackpot announcement effect in advance at a predetermined timing before the symbol change is completed, that is, a jackpot notice effect, etc. You may comprise on condition that the fluctuation mode of all the pending | holdings scheduled to be digested before the hit hold is not the fluctuation mode concerning reach production among the existing holds. In such a configuration, even if a hold pre-reading effect (particularly an effect with a high expectation of the presence of a jackpot reservation, such as a jackpot notice effect) has occurred, the change in the reach effect will result in a loss. Can be prevented. If a hold prefetch effect is not executed when a hit hold occurs, will the hold prefetch effect related to the hit hold be executed at each timing such as the start of fluctuation before the hit hold? You may comprise so that it can determine whether or not. In such a case, the opportunity to execute the hold prefetch effect increases, and the fun of the game can be improved (for example, when the hold prefetch effect is not executed because the above-mentioned conditions are not satisfied). In addition, when the hold, which is a variation aspect related to the reach effect, is digested, the condition is satisfied, and the hold prefetch effect can be executed).

(Seventh embodiment)
Although not specifically shown in the present example, during the special game, the content and / or result of the effect executed after the special game is finished with reference to the random number temporarily stored in the holding means is pre-read for the random number. In addition, it may be configured to execute a notice that informs or suggests during the special game that there is or may be the holding. In that case, compared to the state in which the advance notice is executed only when the hit random number is acquired as in the prior art, there is a case where the random number related to the big hit exists among those held before moving to the special game. Even if the notice can be executed, the notice can be executed even when there is a random number for which a variation mode with a high probability of winning is selected.

  Furthermore, at a plurality of timings during the special game, with reference to the random numbers temporarily stored in the holding means at each timing, the contents and / or the results of the effects executed after the special game are finished are pre-read for the random numbers. When it is configured to determine the availability and / or content of the advance notice at each timing, it is possible to reflect the transition of the hold information during the special game in the advance notice.

(Eighth embodiment)
In addition, although not particularly illustrated in this example, it is an effect that is executed in conjunction with the symbol variation of the auxiliary game symbol, and as the effect result, either of the game result on the auxiliary game side or the game result on the main game side You may comprise so that the roulette effect which can alert | report or suggest is possible. In that case, when the roulette effect is executed, the main game side game result can be notified or suggested in a manner independent of the main game symbol variation mode. A variety of effects is created by notifying or suggesting the game result on the game side. Furthermore, when the roulette effect is configured to be executed in a manner independent of the variation pattern of the main game symbol, a plurality of roulette effects may be performed in a period until the main game symbol starts and ends one symbol variation. As a result of being able to be executed, it is possible to create an aspect of further production.

  Furthermore, when it is configured to determine whether or not the execution of the roulette effect is determined based on the number of holds on the first main game side, for example, when configured to increase the execution frequency of the roulette effect in a situation where the number of holds is small , Even if the gaze production related to the fluctuation of the first main game design (production that plays a role of mere bustle) is reduced, the interest of the production is not reduced for the player, and the game on the auxiliary game side It is possible to have a sense of expectation that the result will be won, so that it is possible to enhance the fun of the game.

  Furthermore, when determining whether or not to execute the roulette effect, it is executed in conjunction with the main game symbol variation status (decorative symbol variation status executed in conjunction with the main game symbol variation) and the symbol variation status. In consideration of the execution status of the various effects that have been performed, and when these situations are situations that should be watched by the player, if the player is configured to cancel the execution of the roulette effect or reduce the execution frequency, The roulette effect can be executed without impeding the visibility of the desired information.

  Further, when the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d executes the special opening / closing mode, the opening / closing operation that is substantially the same as the opening / closing mode that is not the special opening / closing mode can be executed. After the symbol is stopped and displayed, the second main game start port electric accessory B11d has a special opening / closing mode only by visually confirming that the opening mode of the second main game start port electric combination B11d has performed the opening / closing operation. As a result of being configured to make it difficult to determine whether or not it is being executed, it is possible to further improve the interest of the roulette effect using the period in which the determination is difficult.

(Ninth embodiment)
In the above example, as the hold pre-reading effect, the display mode of the hold is changed and the effect suggesting the expected degree of jackpot of the hold can be executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that the production | presentation which suggests the jackpot expectation degree which concerns on no reservation can be performed.

  For example, FIG. 48 and FIG. 49 show an example of a special hold display determination table for determining a display mode of an effect suggesting a jackpot expectation degree related to a hold other than the hold. Here, in the figure, “Lmax” is the reliability of the hold whose reliability level is the highest among holds other than “special hold” for which special hold display is scheduled. “Lt” is the reliability of “special hold” for which special hold display is scheduled. In this way, in this example, paying attention to the difference between Lmax and Lt, that is, whether there is another hold with higher reliability than the reliability of special hold, the special hold display is displayed according to the result. It is configured to determine the content. Specifically, this example is configured as follows. First, when the reliability of the special hold is the highest than any of the other hold reliability, “↑” is displayed. In particular, when the difference between the reliability of the special hold and the highest hold among other holds is the maximum value, “↑↑” is displayed to indicate the high reliability. The Next, if the reliability of the special hold is the same as the maximum reliability of any other hold, in addition to “↑” indicating that the special hold itself has the maximum reliability, One or both of “←” and “→” indicating that the reliability of the hold is the same is displayed. Here, the direction of the arrow displayed is directed to the direction where there is a high-reliability hold. For example, if there is a high-reliability hold when the special hold is the second, “←” is displayed, and if the special hold is the second, the reliability is high. If there is a fourth hold, “→” is displayed. Further, when a special hold is the second, a high-reliability hold exists in the first and fourth hold. Display “←” and “→”. As described above, when there is a high-reliability hold, a conventional scalar display is performed at the high-reliability hold location (for example, when the reliability is high, the color of the hold display is changed according to the reliability. Unlike the case of executing a display that changes the display), a vector display that directly or indirectly points to a hold with high reliability from a certain hold (special hold in this example) is executed. Furthermore, a scalar display is also executed in that the number of → is changed according to the reliability. Next, if the reliability of the special hold is smaller than any of the other trusts, one or both of “←” and “→” indicating the direction in which the hold with the highest reliability exists is displayed. The In particular, if the difference between the reliability of the hold with the highest reliability and the reliability of the special hold is the maximum value, one of “←←” and “→→” indicating that the reliability is high. One or both are displayed.

  In addition, in this example, it is configured to determine whether or not the special hold is based on the pre-read information of the variation mode, but is not limited to this, for example, based on the result of the determination, the presence or absence of the advance notice or the content thereof, Or based on what combined these and the fluctuation | variation aspect, you may comprise so that the propriety and content of special suspension may be determined. Further, “→” and “←” which are special hold display forms are merely examples, and other display forms such as special hold display forms (for example, shape) and changes in color (scalar display), for example. May be configured to have vector meaning. For example, if a certain hold (special hold) becomes the first form (for example, red), it means that there is a highly reliable hold that is digested before that, When a certain hold (special hold) becomes the second form (for example, blue), it means that there is a hold with high reliability in the hold that is digested after that.

  Next, the operation of this example will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Hide special hold without trigger hold → Special hold display)
First, FIG. 50 is an operation diagram when a trigger hold is made when there is a hold (L4) with high reliability. Here, the upper part is a diagram showing a state on the effect display device SG, and the lower part is a diagram showing the temporary storage contents of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. In this example, since the trigger hold is a target of “special hold display”, first, the display form of the trigger hold itself is a special hold display form different from the normal display form. Since there is a hold (L4) higher than the trigger hold reliability (L3) before the trigger hold that is the target of the special hold display, an additional special hold display is displayed on the special hold display. A certain “←” is displayed. With these displays, first, the player has a sense of expectation when using the third hold because the hold related to the third hold is a special hold display. Furthermore, since “←” is present on the hold display relating to the third hold, the player can hold the three hold on the first hold or the second hold that is digested before the third hold. You will recognize that there is a hold with a higher degree of confidence than the hold on the eyes. In this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation from the stage before the third special hold display is put on hold.

(Special hold display → Correction of special hold display when the situation changes)
Next, FIG. 51 is an operation diagram in the case where the situation shown in FIG. 50 is changed due to the further high-reliability hold (L4). In this example, the additional special hold display that has been added on the third special hold display on hold changes to “←” (up) and “→” (down). This change in display indicates that the player has a hold with higher reliability than the third hold on the first hold or the second hold that is consumed before the third hold. As well as recognizing, it is recognized that there is a hold with higher reliability than the fourth hold as well. In the present example, even when the same random number is configured so that different variation modes are selected depending on the number of reserved balls, the prefetched result may be different. Even in such a case, if the situation changes, update the look-ahead result and then correct the special hold display to prevent the discrepancy between the special hold display contents and the actual result. It becomes.

(Hide special hold in the presence of trigger hold → Special hold display)
Next, FIG. 52 is an operation diagram when the special hold display is satisfied when the special hold display condition is satisfied without the special hold display despite the trigger hold being made. First, if the trigger hold with the reliability L4 is made as the second hold, the special hold display condition is satisfied, but the third hold that does not yet exist is selected as the hold for which the special hold is displayed. Is not executed. Under such circumstances, since the third hold is made, the reserved special hold display is made to the third hold. Here, since the reliability of the third hold is L1, “←” is displayed as an additional special hold display. Thus, in this example, the internal processing is completely different, but the display is exactly the same as FIG. It should be noted that if the trigger hold is completed without any further hold after the trigger hold, the special hold display is not executed.

  According to this example, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine that pre-reads the content of a random number related to the hold and informs or suggests the pre-read result to the player when the hold exists, the normal hold display is related to the display of the hold. Separately or in place of normal hold display, special hold display is performed, and this special hold display is a comparison result between the content of random numbers related to the certain hold and the contents of random numbers related to the hold other than the hold. Since it is configured to be based on this, when a special hold display is made, the expectation is not given only to the hold related to the special hold display in the conventional gaming machine so far, the special hold display is not given. With respect to any other hold, such a hold will also be prefetched for other holds indirectly, with the expectation added or the expectation reduced based on the hold for the special hold indication. The an effect that is possible to inform or suggest to the player.

  Furthermore, when displaying special hold identification information, the first step of determining the hold for which the special hold identification information is to be displayed, the content of the random number relating to the hold for which the special hold identification information is to be displayed, and the special hold The second step of determining the special hold identification information displayed on the hold identification information display means on the basis of the comparison result after comparing the content of the random number related to the hold other than the hold that is the display target of the identification information, Since the process is configured to be executed in order, whether or not the process for determining the hold for which the special hold identification information is to be displayed satisfies the predetermined condition for the content of the random number related to the hold from the main control unit side There is an effect that it can be completed only by the determination process.

  Furthermore, when displaying special hold identification information, referring to the contents of a random number related to hold from the main control unit side, the first step of determining a hold that is not to be displayed as special hold identification information Compare the contents of the random number related to the hold with the random numbers related to the hold for which the special hold identification information is to be displayed, and determine the special hold identification information displayed on the hold identification information display means based on the comparison result Since the processing is executed in the order of the second step to be performed, compared to the above-described aspect, there is an effect that it is possible to easily perform high and low reliability control in other suspensions. That is, in this aspect, when special hold identification information is displayed, if a hold that becomes a trigger (hold that triggers display of special hold identification information) is temporarily stored, the special hold identification information is stored for the hold that becomes the trigger. Made. In this case, the contents of the special hold display identification information are determined based on the contents of the hold other than the hold serving as the trigger. However, for example, when the jackpot probability is about 1/300 and the selection probability of the highly reliable variation mode (super reach) is, for example, about 1/100, the hold other than the trigger hold is more than the trigger hold. However, the frequency of high-reliability holds is not so high. Therefore, in the above-described aspect, in many cases, the degree of expectation is high for the hold on which the special hold identification information is displayed, but the expectation is low for the hold other than this hold. The contents are also such contents (that is, special holding identification information indicating that other holding balls have low reliability). On the other hand, in this mode, when special hold identification information is displayed, if a hold that becomes a trigger (hold that triggers the display of special hold identification information) is temporarily stored, the special hold identification information for the hold that becomes the trigger is stored. Instead of being made, special hold identification information is made for holds other than this hold. Therefore, in this mode, in many cases, the hold for which special hold identification information is displayed does not have high expectation, but there is a hold with high expectation (holding that serves as a trigger) in any hold other than this hold. As a result, the content of the special hold identification information displayed is also such content (that is, the special hold identification information indicating that there is a highly reliable one among the other hold balls).

  Furthermore, when special hold identification information is displayed on the hold identification information display means, when a new random number is temporarily stored in the hold means on the main control unit side, the special hold identification information is displayed. Since the rewriting process of the aspect is configured to be performed, even if the display content of the previous special hold identification information is to be revised due to a subsequent change in the situation, there is an effect that it is possible to cope with this.

  In this example, when the trigger hold flag is turned on, that is, when there is even one trigger hold during the hold, even when a hold that can become a trigger hold is newly made. The special hold display target hold different from the already determined special hold display target hold is not determined. That is, in this example, the trigger hold and the special hold display target hold are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

(10th Embodiment)
Moreover, it is also possible to perform the production | presentation which suggests the reach production at the time of trigger reservation digest as one form of the reservation pre-reading production.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 53, the action of the hold prefetch effect that suggests the reach effect at the time of trigger hold digestion will be described. First, FIG. 53 is an example of display contents on the effect display device SG. Hereinafter, it will be described in time series. In addition, the number attached | subjected to the holding | maintenance in a table | surface shows the digestion order.

  First, at the beginning of the first fluctuation (variation 1), there are four holds on the first game side and two holds on the second game side ("variation 1-1"). Under such circumstances, a hold satisfying the trigger hold condition is temporarily stored as the third hold on the second game side (the seventh change ranking). Incidentally, this trigger hold is a hold in which the variation mode “A4-4” is displayed during digestion. In this example, a button operation by the player is necessary as a notice display condition, and if the button operation is neglected, the change mode of the trigger hold may be forcibly replaced with a lower one. In the explanation, it is assumed that all players have properly operated the buttons according to the instructions. Then, the first fluctuation (variation 1) is finished.

By the way, it is determined that the notice is displayed stepwise when the hold of the trigger before the hold of the trigger is performed because the trigger hold is temporarily stored at the first fluctuation. In this example, since the variation mode of the trigger pending "A4-4" and is and the value of the notice whether and content determination random number is "10", "X _{1 (trigger} hold three ago) as continuous announcement contents → X ₂ ( _two trigger hold before) → X ₃ (one trigger hold before) → X ₄ (trigger hold) ”is selected (see FIG. 54). However, since the fluctuations 2 to 4 are not subject to continuous advance notice display, no advance notice is displayed as shown in FIG.

Then, the trigger hold three corresponding fifth variation before ( "fluctuation 5"), the first predictive display X ₁ is executed. At this time, since “X ₁ ” is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super Reach B in which X ₁ appears” with the change, or “X ₂ appears on hold after this time” Recognize that “Super Reach B”, which is more reliable than “Super Reach B”, is executed (if it is not a frustration). It should be noted that the player looks at the performance while hoping for the latter in terms of higher reliability. Then, in the fluctuation "super reach B, X ₁ is appearing" is not performed, the variation of the fifth ends. At this point, the notice is if not Gase will determine that in hold After this a more reliable "super reach B X ₂ is appeared""super reach B" is executed.

Then, in the trigger hold two corresponding sixth variation before ( "fluctuation 6"), predictive display X ₂ a second time is performed. At this time, since “X ₂ ” is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super Reach B in which X ₂ appears” by the change or “X ₃ appears in the hold after this time” Recognize that “Super Reach B”, which is more reliable than “Super Reach B”, is executed (if it is not a frustration). Then, in the fluctuation "super reach B, which appeared X _2" is not executed, the variation of the sixth ends. At this point, the notice is if not Gase will determine that in hold After this a more reliable "super reach B X ₃ is appeared""super reach B" is executed.

Then, in the trigger hold one previous corresponding seventh variation (the "fluctuation 7"), the third-time predictive display X ₃ is executed. At this time, since “X ₃ ” is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super Reach B in which X ₃ appears” with the change or “X ₄ appears on hold after this time” Recognize that “Super Reach B”, which is more reliable than “Super Reach B”, is executed (if it is not a frustration). Then, in the fluctuation "super reach B, which appeared X _3" is not executed, the variation of the seventh ends. At this point, the notice is if not Gase will determine that in hold After this a more reliable "super reach B X ₄ is appeared""super reach B" is executed.

Then, in the fluctuation of the eighth corresponding to trigger pending ( "fluctuation 8"), fourth-time predictive display X ₄ of runs. At this time, since “X ₄ ” is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super Reach B in which X ₄ appears” with the change, or “X ₅ appears on hold after this time” Recognize that “Super Reach B”, which is more reliable than “Super Reach B”, is executed (if it is not a frustration). Then, “Super Reach B in which X ₄ appears” is executed by the change (“Change 8-3”), and the winning symbol “333” is stopped.

  In this way, when a trigger hold is made, a continuous notice can be executed at the time of a change that occurs before or before the trigger hold, and at the time of the continuous notice, the contents of the trigger hold, especially when the change is based on the trigger hold. The content of the production of the trigger hold is configured to be notified or suggested step by step (step-up) across multiple hold digests before or after the trigger hold. Unlike the previous prior notification related to the reliability, the contents of the trigger hold effect can be grasped specifically, and the notification corresponding to the fluctuation mode with the lower reliability is sequentially notified or suggested. First, there is an effect that it is possible to gradually increase the expectation until the fluctuation related to the trigger hold.

  Furthermore, when it is configured to determine whether or not to perform the secondary effect based on the pre-determined result and the number of reserved balls, if there is an insufficient number of reserves when informing or suggesting in stages, an ineffective secondary effect It is possible to prevent the execution of the process and to reduce the processing load.

  Furthermore, even if the execution of the sub-effect is decided, if the player does not operate the operation information output means, the sub-effect will not be executed, and the content of the main effect at the time of the trigger hold will depend on the player's operation status. When it is configured so that it can be forcibly replaced with one having a low degree of transition expectation, it is possible to promote the operation of the operation information output means, whereby the player can be more involved in the game.

(Eleventh embodiment)
Further, when displaying the hold information in response to the hold information command from the main control board M side, if there is a hit or game situation switching timing before the hold, the hold information is ignored. May be. With such a configuration, when the change result or change mode is notified in advance, the change notified in advance, such as when changing from the probability change game state to the non-stochastic change game state or when the time-reduced game state ends. It is possible to prevent notification that disappoints the player's expectation that the result and / or variation mode is different from the actual variation result and / or variation mode. Thereby, the trouble with a game store and a player which arises by performing the display which disappoints expectation can be prevented reliably.

The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when executing the pre-reading effect, the effect is switched (for example, the variation mode is changed by reaching a predetermined number of variations during ST. If there is a situation where the table to be referred to is determined), the pre-reading effect is not executed across the change of the production, so that the change of the production and the pre-reading effect are mixed to confuse the player. You may comprise so that it can prevent. On the other hand, when a pre-reading effect is executed across the switching of the effect, the expectation of jackpot may be high in the change related to the hold that triggered the effect. In addition, regarding the special announcement for the on-hold consecutive resort, during the execution of the special game related to the first hit (the big hit in the non-time-reduced gaming state), there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the hold (for example, the hold that is the right / left break 1). Even if it exists, there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the hold while the special game related to the big hit in the time-saving game state is being executed (or changing) Only in such a case, it may be configured such that the on-hold consecutive resort notice effect can be executed.
