The jackpot random value is acquired due to winning at the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42, and is set as a jackpot value when the acquired value is in a low probability (2/630 (1/315)) state. If it matches any of '3' or '397', it is a big hit, while at the time of high probability (12/630 (6/315)) state (in the probability variation state), it is set as a big success value '3', '33' 53 ',' 59 ',' 113 ',' 173 ',' 227 ',' 281 ',' 337 ',' 397 ',' 449 ',' 503 ' It will be a big hit.

  The jackpot symbol random number counter determines a jackpot symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped in the display device 10 when the jackpot winning / bad determination result is a jackpot, and is composed of random numbers from “0” to “11”. This jackpot symbol random number is incremented by 1 every time a normal symbol / special symbol major random number update process, which will be described later, starts from “0” when the power is turned on. Is to repeat. The jackpot symbol random number is acquired due to winning in the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42. The jackpot symbol random number is assigned a jackpot symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the display device 10 when the determination result is a jackpot. In this embodiment, when the jackpot symbol random number is “0”, the big hit symbol combination is “0, 0, 0”, which is “0” (all symbols are the same), and when it is “1”, the jackpot symbol combination Is the first grove that is “1,1,1” (all symbols are the same), “2” is the second grove, “2,2,2”, and the third is “3” If the number 3 is “3, 3, 3”, if it is “4”, if it is “4, 4, 4”, and so on, then the jackpot symbol is “11” The jackpot symbol combination is assigned to the jackpot symbol random number until the jackpot symbol combination “11,11,11”.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbol random number is also used to determine the probability variation in the case of jackpot.
In the case of a probability change (probability jackpot), the probability of jackpot is set to the high probability state (probability change state) after the special game (jackpot game) ends until it is determined next as a jackpot by determining whether or not the jackpot is successful. In the case of a normal jackpot that is not a probable change, the probability of a jackpot is set to the low probability state (normal state) after the special game (a jackpot game) is finished until the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot by the next jackpot determination. In this embodiment, when the determination result is a jackpot and the jackpot symbol random number is any one of '1', '3', '5', '7', '9', '11', That is, combinations of jackpot symbols that are stopped and displayed on the display device 10 are “1, 1, 1”, “3, 3, 3”, “5, 5, 5”, “7, 7, 7”, “9, A high probability state (probability variation state) is obtained in the case of an odd combination (an odd number) of any of “9, 9” and “11, 11, 11”.
On the other hand, when the determination result is a jackpot and the jackpot symbol random number is any one of “0”, “2”, “4”, “6”, “8”, “10”, that is, the display The combinations of jackpot symbols that are stopped and displayed on the device 10 are “0, 0, 0”, “2, 2, 2”, “4, 4, 4”, “6, 6, 6”, “8, 8, 8”. ”And“ 10, 10, 10 ”, a low probability state (normal state) is obtained in the case of an even combination (an even number of eyes).

Further, when the probability variation (high probability) state is reached, the jackpot probability in the determination of success or failure becomes the high probability (probability variation) state, and the opening (expansion) time of the lower start winning opening 42 is low probability (normal). The number of times of opening (expanding) of the lower start winning opening 42 is increased from 1 to 3 times in the low probability (normal) state, and the probability per normal symbol is increased. It increases from 1/300 to 1/5 of the low probability (normal) state.
The low probability state (normal state) corresponds to a normal game, while the high probability state (probability change state) corresponds to a privilege game that gives a privilege more advantageous to the player than the normal game. The benefit may be any one of shortening the opening (expansion) time of the lower start winning opening 42 and increasing the number of times of opening, increasing the probability per ordinary symbol, or increasing the probability per jackpot.

  The reach random number counter is used for determining whether or not a reach state is reached when the jackpot determination result based on the jackpot random number value is out of reach, and is a random number of “0” to “126”. Consists of. The reach state in the present embodiment is other than the special symbol (for example, the middle special symbol) that is stopped and displayed last among the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol that are displayed on the display device 10 in a variable stop state. Special symbols (for example, left special symbol and right special symbol) are the same (excluding the final stop symbol, the state is equal to the jackpot special symbol combination, and finally the jackpot special symbol combination is off State including the case of a special symbol combination). The random number of the reach random number counter (reach random number) starts from “0” when the gaming machine 1 is turned on, and is incremented by 1 every time a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is performed. Then, it is set to “0” and the addition is repeated again. The reach random number is acquired due to winning in the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower start winning opening 42, and when the result of the determination is wrong, the numerical value is compared with a predetermined reach establishment value. The reach is determined. In this embodiment, reach establishment values are “5”, “17”, “28”, “40”, “51”, “63”, “74”, “86”, “97”, “109”, “ 120 '.

  The special symbol data random number counter is used for determining a special symbol combination that is to be stopped and displayed on the display device 10 when the jackpot determination result based on the jackpot random number value is out of order. A random number counter for special symbol data 1 for determining the left special symbol to be stopped, a random number counter for special symbol data 2 for determining the middle special symbol, and a random number counter for special symbol data 3 for determining the right special symbol; Each special symbol data random number counter is composed of random numbers from “0” to “11”.

  The random number of the special symbol data 1 starts from “0” when the power is turned on, and is incremented by “1” every time the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing described later is performed. And the addition is repeated again. The random number of the special symbol data 2 starts from “0” when the power is turned on, and is incremented by “1” when the random number of the special symbol data 1 is rewritten to “0”, and reaches “11”. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the addition is repeated again. Further, the random number of the special symbol data 3 starts from “0” when the power is turned on, and is incremented by “1” when the random number of the special symbol data 2 is rewritten to “0”, and reaches “11”. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the addition is repeated again. Thereby, even if the random number ranges of the special symbol data 1 to 3 are the same, the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 to 3 can be prevented from being synchronized (added in the same combination).

  Each random number of the special symbol data 1 to 3 is “0” for “0”, “1” for “1”, “2” for “2”, etc. A left special symbol, a middle special symbol, and a right special symbol that are stopped and displayed on the display device 10 at the time of disengagement are assigned. The random numbers of the special symbol data 1 to 3 are acquired due to winning in the upper starting winning port 41 or the lower starting winning port 42, and when the special symbol data 1 to 3 are combined, The left special symbol, middle special symbol, and right special symbol displayed on the display device 10 are determined.

  The variation pattern random number counter is used when a variation pattern of a special symbol (identification symbol) in the display device 10 is selected from the variation pattern table, and includes variation pattern random numbers from ‘0’ to ‘198’. The random number value of the fluctuation pattern starts from “0” when the gaming machine 1 is turned on, and is incremented by 1 for each of the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing to be described later. It is set to “0” and the addition is repeated again. The variation pattern random value is acquired due to winning in the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower start winning opening 42.

  A plurality of variation pattern tables are provided. In this embodiment, there are provided six types of tables including a normal hit variation pattern table, a normal reach loss variation pattern table, a normal loss variation pattern table, a probability variation variation pattern table, a probability variation reach loss variation pattern table, and a probability variation loss variation pattern table. Yes. Each variation pattern table is composed of a plurality of variation patterns of special symbols displayed on the display device 10 and is stored in the ROM of the main control board 200. In this embodiment, the variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random value from the variation pattern table selected according to whether the gaming state is a certain variation state or a normal state, and whether or not the determination result is true or false. One variation pattern is selected. Normal hit fluctuation pattern from normal hit fluctuation pattern table, Normal reach loss fluctuation pattern table from normal reach loss fluctuation pattern, Normal loss fluctuation pattern table from normal loss fluctuation pattern, Probable change fluctuation pattern table from probability change fluctuation pattern table, Probability change reach loss A probability variation reach variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table, and a probability variation loss variation pattern is selected from the probability variation loss pattern table. A variation pattern random value is assigned to each variation pattern, and a variation pattern corresponding to the acquired variation pattern random value is selected. A variation time is set for each variation pattern, and the special symbol displayed on the display device 10 is determined to be varied / stopped in accordance with the set variation time.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of game effects provided in the plurality of variation patterns are set in a manner in the middle of the variation of the special symbol.
In this embodiment, there are SP reach a, SP reach b, SP reach c, SP reach d, SP reach e, and SP reach f as aspects of the special symbol that is a plurality of game effects. SP Reach a, SP Reach b, SP Reach c, SP Reach d, SP Reach e, and SP Reach f are reach where a special production consisting of the appearance of a character, etc. is performed for a predetermined time after reaching, respectively, and then a special symbol Stops fluctuating. Note that a reach that does not give a special performance after reach is usually called reach. SP reach a, SP reach b, and SP reach c are set as a part of the fluctuation patterns included in the normal hit fluctuation pattern table and the normal reach loss pattern table, and the SP reach d, SP reach e, and SP reach f are It is set as a part of the variation pattern included in the variation pattern table for probability variation and the variation variation table for probability variation reach loss.

  In the present embodiment, the execution of the game effect is regarded as the achievement of the mission, and when the mission is achieved during the game (the game effect is executed), it is assigned to the accomplished mission (the executed game effect). An effect suggestion image is displayed on the display device 10. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the display device 10 has a substantially left half serving as a special symbol fluctuation / stop display unit 11, and an item display unit 12 achieved by the lowermost part of the substantially right half. The three stages are the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13. The achieved item display unit 12 is a display unit that displays an effect suggestion image every time a mission is achieved (a game effect is executed). On the other hand, the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 is a display unit that continuously displays the effect suggestion images assigned to the missions (game effects) achieved in the past. Reference symbol Ta is a left special symbol, Tb is a middle special symbol, and Tc is a left special symbol. The mission is set to be SP reach a, SP reach b, SP reach c, SP reach d, SP reach e, and SP reach f. Yes.

  The effect suggestion image includes an image explaining the contents of the game effect. The image explaining the content of the game effect is, for example, an image made up of a name or phrase directly indicating the content of the game effect, such as “SP reach a” or “SP reach b”, or the content of the game effect in advance. It may be an image that indirectly indicates the contents of the game effect, such as words and symbols set one-on-one. Further, “B * Ba” representing the contents of SP reach a, “B * Bb” representing the contents of SP reach b, “A * Ac” representing SP reach c, “A * Ad” representing SP reach d, It may be an image representing the reach of a special symbol such as “S * Se” representing the contents of the SP reach e and “S * Sf” representing the SP reach f. In this embodiment, the SP reach a is “B-1”, the SP reach b is “B-2”, the SP reach c is “A-3”, and the SP reach d is “B-2”. An image of “A-4”, an image of “S-5” for SP reach e, and an image of “S-6” for SP reach f are assigned as the effect suggestion images.

  In addition, ranks are set for the plurality of game effects and the effect suggestion images. The ranks of the game effect and the effect suggestion image are the same. In the present embodiment, the alphabets constituting a part of the effect suggestion image indicate the rank, and the rank increases in the order of “B” → “A” → “S”. That is, the rank increases in the order of [“B-1”, “B-2”] → [“A-3”, “A-4”] → [“S-5”, “S-6”]. Yes. Since the rank is included in the effect suggestion image in this way, the interest of the game can be further enhanced. FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the game effect, the effect suggestion image, and the rank.

  The acquired jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random number value, reach random number value, and variation pattern random number value are stored in the corresponding areas in the RAM of the main control board 200 in association with the special symbol hold number, respectively. Are used sequentially.

  The normal symbol random number counter is used to determine a normal symbol per unit, and has a normal symbol random number of “0” to “299”. When the gaming machine 1 is turned on, it starts from “0” and will be described later. “1” is added every time the special symbol main random number update process is performed, and when it reaches “299”, it is rewritten to “0” and the addition is repeated again. The normal symbol random numbers are acquired every time the normal symbol variation start switch detects a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol variation start gate 55, and up to four normal symbol random numbers in the RAM of the main control board 200. Stored in the storage area. The value of the normal symbol random number acquired due to the passing of the game ball through the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is set to “5” (1/300) as the established value per normal symbol in the low probability state. If it matches the probability of “0” to “59” (1/5) set as a numerical value established per normal symbol in the probability variation (high probability) state, Usually per symbol. In the case of per normal symbol, “O” is displayed on the normal symbol display device 50, and the lower start winning opening 42 is released according to whether or not it is in the certain change state, and the release time is released. If the normal symbol random number value does not match the established value per normal symbol, it is out of the normal symbol and "x" is displayed on the normal symbol display device 50, and the lower start winning opening 42 is in a state where it is difficult to win. Leave.

  The game of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described. In the gaming machine 1, when the game balls launched by the launch device 64 toward the game area 6 win the various winning holes, a predetermined number of gaming balls corresponding to the winning holes are awarded as the winning balls from the payout device 281. The upper ball receiving tray 36 is paid out. Further, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol variation start gate 55, a normal symbol random number is acquired, and the normal symbol display device 50 determines the normal symbol per unit based on the acquired random number value. Starts to fluctuate and stops after fluctuating for a predetermined time. At that time, if the determination result per normal symbol is a win, it stops at the normal symbol, “◯” in this example, and the two movable pieces 42a and 42b of the lower start winning port 42 are on the back side. The closed solenoid (normal state), which is almost vertical and difficult to win, is changed from the closed solenoid (normal state) to the open state in which a prize can be awarded in a substantially V shape (reverse C shape). In the case of the probability variation state, when it comes to the normal symbol, the lower start winning opening 42 is opened for 2 seconds three times. On the other hand, in the case of the low probability state, it is released for 1 second. Is performed once. When a game ball wins the lower start winning opening 42, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball.

  Further, when a game ball wins the upper start winning port 41 or the lower start winning port 42, a random number value (game information) such as a big hit random number value, a big hit symbol random number value, a reach random number value, a variation pattern random number value is acquired. The jackpot determination is made based on the acquired jackpot random value, and one variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table based on the determination result and the variation pattern random value. Based on the selected variation pattern, the display device 10 starts the variation display (game effect) of the special symbol.

  If a game ball wins (enters) the upper start winning port 41 or the lower start winning port 42 during the special symbol variation display, the big hit random number value, the big hit symbol random number value, the reach random number value, the fluctuation pattern disorder If a random number value (game information) such as a numerical value is acquired and the special symbol hold number is less than 4, the special symbol hold number is added by 1, and the acquired jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random number value, reach random number value, fluctuation A random number value (game information) such as a pattern random number value is stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 until it reaches a maximum of 4 (until hold 4), and then the special symbols are displayed in a change order in the hold order.

  When the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol are stopped on the display device 10 by a combination of jackpot symbols (in the present embodiment, a slotted pattern), the game shifts to a jackpot game (special game).

  In the big win game (special game) state, the open / close plate 46 of the big prize opening 45 is opened to make it easy to receive the game balls falling on the surface of the game area 6 so that the big prize opening 45 can be won. . When a winning in the big winning opening 45 is detected, the number of prize balls set for the detection of one winning ball is paid out. The opening / closing plate 46 is closed after a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) has elapsed or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). The special winning opening 45 repeats opening of the opening / closing plate 46 by a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds).

  In this embodiment, the display device 10 is specially combined with a normal jackpot symbol combination consisting of even numbers such as “0, 0, 0”, “2, 2, 2”, “4, 4, 4”. When a symbol is stopped and displayed, it is usually a big jackpot, and after the jackpot game (special game) is finished, the jackpot probability is low ((2/630 (1/315) in this example)) until the next jackpot. On the other hand, a special symbol is displayed on the display device 10 by a combination of probability variation jackpot symbols composed of odd numbers such as “1, 1, 1”, “3, 3, 3”, “5, 5, 5”, etc. When the stop display is made, it becomes a promising jackpot, and after the jackpot game (special game) ends, the probability of jackpot is set to a high probability (in this embodiment (12/630 (6/315)) until the next jackpot. In addition, the lower start in the case of normal symbols The opening (expansion) time of the prize opening 42 is increased from 1 second in the low probability (normal) state to 2 seconds, and the number of opening (expansion) of the lower start winning opening 42 is low probability (normal) state. The probability per ordinary symbol increases from 1/300 to 1/5 of the low probability (normal) state.

  In the present embodiment, when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, the effect suggestion image is displayed on the display device 10 according to the achievement of the mission (execution of the game effect), and the display is continued. An example of the display of the effect suggestion image will be described.

  As shown in (6-A) of FIG. 6, the special symbol starts to change in the special symbol change / stop display unit 11 in the display device 10, and the SP reach a as shown in (6-B) of FIG. Then, “B-1”, which is an effect suggestion image of SP reach a, is displayed on the achieved item display portion 12 to indicate the achievement of the SP reach a mission, and among the three stages in the effect suggestion image display continuation portion 13 “B-1”, which is an effect suggestion image of SP reach a, is displayed on the first row at the bottom, and the display is continued.

  After that, the special symbol is stopped and displayed as the off symbol as shown in (6-C) of FIG. 6, and then a new variable display is started as shown in (6-D) of FIG. As shown in (6-E) of FIG. 6, when SP reach b is reached, “B-2”, which is an effect suggestion image of SP reach b, is displayed on the achieved item display unit 12, indicating that the SP reach b mission has been achieved. At the same time, “B-2”, which is the effect suggestion image of SP reach b, is displayed on the second stage (middle stage) of the three stages in the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13, and the display is continued.

  After that, the special symbol is stopped and displayed as the off symbol as shown in (6-F) of FIG. 6, and then a new variable display is started as shown in (6-G) of FIG. As shown in (6-H) of FIG. 6, when the SP reach f is reached, “S-6”, which is an effect suggestion image of the SP reach f, is displayed on the achieved item display unit 12, indicating that the SP reach f mission has been achieved. At the same time, “S-6”, which is the effect suggestion image of SP reach f, is displayed in the third (topmost) of the three steps in the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13, and the mission (game effect) achieved in the past. As the effect suggestion image, “B-1” in the first row, “B-2” in the second row, and “S-6” in the third row are continued. The display continues.

  After that, the special symbol is stopped and displayed with the probability variation jackpot symbol as shown in (7-A) of FIG. 7, and after the jackpot game is executed, a new variation display is started as shown in (7-B) of FIG. When reaching SP reach a as shown in (7-C) of FIG. 7, “B-1”, which is an effect suggestion image of SP reach a, is displayed on the achieved item display section 12 to indicate that the mission of SP reach a is achieved. . In addition, since the display of the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 is full for the effect suggestion image “B-1” of this time, the rank of the new effect suggestion image of this time and the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 are displayed. The rank of the three effect suggestion images that are continuously displayed is compared with the rank of the new effect suggestion image this time, and any one of the three effect suggestion images displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 If the rank is higher than that, the update is performed by replacing the effect suggestion image with a lower rank, and the updated display is continued by the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13. On the other hand, when the rank is not high (that is, when it is equal or lower), the display up to that point is continued without changing the display of the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13. In (7-C) of FIG. 7, the current effect suggestion image “B-1” is the same as the rank of the effect suggestion image “B-1” that is continuously displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13. Because of the rank, the effect suggestion image that is continuously displayed by the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 is not replaced.

  After that, the special symbol is stopped and displayed at the symbol as shown in (7-D) of FIG. 7, and then a new variable display is started as shown in (7-E) of FIG. When reaching SP reach d as shown in (7-F) of FIG. 7, “A-4”, which is an effect suggestion image of SP reach d, is displayed on the achieved item display section 12 to indicate the completion of the mission of SP reach d. . Moreover, since the display of the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 is full, the rank of the new effect suggestion image “A-4” and the three items that are continuously displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 are displayed. It is compared with the rank of the presentation suggestion image. As a result, the new effect suggestion image “A-4” has a higher rank than the “B-1” rank displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13, and thus the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 “B-1” is updated by being replaced with the new effect suggestion image “A-4” of this time, and the updated effect suggestion image is continuously displayed. After that, the special symbol is removed and is stopped and displayed as the symbol (7-G) in FIG.

  Further, when the game is stopped by not playing the game for a predetermined time, the display device 10 displays the special symbol stopped on the special symbol fluctuation / stop display unit 11 shown in (7-G) of FIG. From the state where the effect suggestion image of the mission (game effect) achieved so far is displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 as shown in (8-A) of FIG. -The two-dimensional code is displayed on the stop display unit 11. The two-dimensional code includes a column of effect suggestion images of missions (game effects) achieved so far and a password. Note that the missions (game effects) achieved so far included in the two-dimensional code include past mission achievements where no current effect suggestion image is displayed in the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13.

  Next, an application (software) installed on the mobile phone is activated, and the two-dimensional code displayed on the display device 10 of the gaming machine is carried as shown in (8-B) of FIG. When read by the phone camera, as shown in Fig. 8 (8-C), the screen of the form phone displays the effect suggestion image of the completed mission included in the read two-dimensional code, and also reads it. Data is stored in the mobile phone.

  After that, when the game is resumed, when the mobile phone application is started, as shown in (8-D) of FIG. 8, the password included in the two-dimensional code read from the gaming machine is displayed on the mobile phone screen. Is displayed. The password in the illustrated example is “Aiueo”. As shown in (8-E) of FIG. 8, the player inputs the password displayed on the mobile phone on the password input screen displayed when the game machine is on standby. The password input operation is performed by moving the cursor of the character board displayed on the password input screen by the left / right / up / down operation of the game operation switch 67 and selecting it by the determination operation.

  The ROM of the sub-control board 205 of the gaming machine stores the display state of the effect suggestion image in association with the password. When the password is correctly input to the gaming machine, (8-F) in FIG. As shown, the effect suggestion image displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 when the game is stopped is displayed on the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 of the display device 10, and the game is resumed. FIG. 9 shows a part of the display mode of the password and the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13.

  The control process in the gaming machine 1 will be described below. Examples of main flags provided in the control circuit of the main control board 200 include a big hit flag, a big hit end flag, a probability change flag, and the like in this embodiment. These flags are all turned off (= 0) at the initial setting.

First, the control process by the main control board 200 will be described. Under the control of the main control board 200, a main process M shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 is performed.
In the main process M, an initial setting process (S10) such as a CPU, an interrupt prohibition process (S20), a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S30), an interrupt permission process (S40) are performed, and a loop process is performed in the final process. Is being performed, interrupt processing (S100) is executed every 4 ms.

  In the initial setting process (S10) of the CPU and the like, stack setting, interrupt time setting, CPU setting, SIO, PIO, CTC setting and the like are performed. Although the main process M is repeatedly performed, the initial setting process (S10) of the CPU or the like is an initial control procedure necessary only when the power is turned on, and is executed only in the first round, and is not executed thereafter. Details are omitted because they are well known.

  In the interrupt prohibition process (S20), even if the interrupt process (S100) is entered every 4 msec, the interrupt is prohibited until the interrupt is permitted. In the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S30), various random numbers are added for each of the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S30), and when the update range upper limit value of each random number is reached as described above, The value is returned to the minimum value and the addition is performed again. The updated random number is stored in the RAM of the main control board 200. In the interrupt permission process (S40), the interrupt process (S100) that enters every 4 msec is permitted.

  In the interrupt process (S100), as shown in FIG. 11, an output process (S101), an input process (S102), a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), a start winning opening detection process (S104), a normal operation Processing (S105), special operation processing (S106), hold count processing (S107), power-off monitoring processing (S108), and other processing (S109) are performed in this order.

In the output process (S101), an output command (command signal) set in each process is transmitted to each control board.
In the input process (S102), signal input is performed when various sensors (switches) attached to the gaming machine 1 are detected.
In the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the same process as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S30) performed in the loop process in the main process M is performed.

  In the start winning opening detection process (S104), as shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether a winning to the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower start winning opening 42 is detected (S104-1), and a winning is detected. If not, it is determined whether or not the game ball passage to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected (S104-2). When the passing of the game ball to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is not detected, the start winning opening detection process (S104) is ended. On the other hand, when the passing of the game ball to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected, it is determined whether the normal symbol holding number is 4 or more (S104-3). The detection process (S104) ends. On the other hand, if the number of retained ordinary symbols is less than 4, 1 is added to the number of retained ordinary symbols (S104-4), the ordinary symbol random number is obtained, and the obtained ordinary symbol random number corresponds to the RAM in the main control board 200. The normal symbol random number acquisition process stored in the area to be performed is performed (S104-5), and the start winning opening detection process (S104) is completed.

  If it is determined in S104-1 that a winning to the upper starting winning port 41 or the lower starting winning port 42 has been detected, it is determined whether the number of special symbol reservations is four or more (S104-6). In this case, the start winning opening detection process (S104) ends. On the other hand, if the number of special symbol hold is less than 4, the special symbol hold number is incremented by 1 (S104-7), and special symbol relations such as jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random value, reach random number value, variation pattern random number value, etc. A special symbol related random number acquisition process for acquiring a random number and storing it in a corresponding area of the RAM of the main control board 200 is performed (S104-8), and after a hold information command set (S104-9) is performed, this process is performed. The start winning opening detection process (S104) ends. The special symbol related random number acquisition process (S104-8) corresponds to game information acquisition means.

  In the normal operation process (S105), as shown in FIG. 13, it is first confirmed whether the lower start winning opening 42 is open (S105-1). If the lower start winning opening 42 is closed, it is confirmed that the number of normal symbol reservations is 0 (S105-2), and if it is 0, the normal operation process (S105) is ended. On the other hand, when the number of normal symbols held is not 0, the acquisition acquired in the normal symbol random number acquisition processing (S104-5) of the start winning opening detection processing (S104) and stored in the RAM of the main control board 200. The normal symbol random value is read (S105-3), and it is confirmed whether the current probability change is in progress (the probability change flag is ON) (S105-4). If it is not probabilistic, the acquired normal symbol random number value is compared with the established value per normal symbol in the low probability state to check whether they match, and if they match, it corresponds to the normal symbol in the low probability state and matches If not, it is determined that it is off (S105-5). If it is off, the normal operation process (S105) ends. On the other hand, if it is per normal symbol, the lower start winning opening 42 is opened with an opening time of 1 second and the opening number of opening is once. Processing 1 is performed (S105-6), and thereafter, this normal operation processing (S105) ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S105-4 that the probability change is in progress, the acquired normal symbol random number value is compared with the normal symbol or the established numerical value in the high probability state to check whether or not both match. It is per ordinary symbol in the probability state, and if it does not match, it is determined that it is off (S105-7). In the case of detachment, the normal operation process (S105) is completed. On the other hand, in the case of a normal symbol, the lower start prize opening 42 is opened with an opening time of 2 seconds and the number of times of opening three times. Processing 2 is performed (S105-8), and thereafter, this normal operation processing (S105) ends.

  If it is determined in S105-1 that the lower start winning opening 42 is being opened, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the lower start winning opening 42 has passed (finished) (S105-9). When the time has not elapsed, the normal operation process (S105) ends. On the other hand, when the start winning opening opening time has elapsed, a process for closing the lower starting winning opening 42 is performed (S105-). 10) Thereafter, the normal operation process (S105) is completed.

  In the special operation process (S106), as shown in FIG. 14, it is determined which of the special operation status is 1 to 4 (S106-1 to S106-3). When the special operation status is 1, a special symbol standby process (S106-4) is performed, and when the special operation status is 2, a changing process (S106-5) is performed, and the special operation status is In the case of 3, a special symbol confirmation process (S106-6) is performed, and in the case where the special operation status is 4, a special electric accessory process (S106-7) is performed.

In the special symbol standby process (S106-4) performed when the special operation status is 1, as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined whether or not the number of special symbol hold is 0 (S106-4-1), and the special symbol hold If the number is 0, it is determined whether or not the display device 10 is in a standby screen (standby screen) where the special symbol is not changing (S106-4-9), and if it is in the standby screen (standby screen), This special symbol standby process (S106-4) is completed. On the other hand, if it is not in the standby screen (standby screen), a standby screen setting process for making the display device 10 a standby screen (standby screen) is performed (S106-4-10), and then set in standby. (S106-4-11), and then the special symbol standby process (S106-4) is completed. The setting process for setting the standby screen is a command for setting the standby screen when a game ball does not win the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42 for a predetermined time after the setting process is performed. Is a process for outputting.
On the other hand, when it is determined in S106-4-1 that the number of special symbol reservations is not 0, special symbol jackpot determination processing (S106-4-2) is performed.

  In the special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2), as shown in FIG. 16, first, it is acquired by the special symbol-related random number acquisition process (S104-8) of the start winning opening detection process (S104) and is subjected to the main control. The jackpot random number value stored in the RAM of the substrate 200 is read (S106-4-2-1), and then it is confirmed whether the current probability change is in progress (high probability state) (S106-4-2-2). Whether or not the probability change is in progress is determined to be in the probability change state when the probability change flag is ON, and on the other hand, when the probability change flag is OFF, it is determined to be a low probability state in which the probability change is not in progress. In the case of a low-probability state that is not probabilistic, the acquired jackpot random number value is compared with the jackpot value in the low-probability state to check whether they match. If not, it is determined that it is off (S106-4-2-3). In the case of losing, this special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2) ends. On the other hand, in the case of a jackpot, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S106-4-2-5). This special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2) ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S106-4-2-2 that the probability change is high (high probability state), the acquired jackpot random number value is compared with the jackpot value in the high probability state to confirm whether they match. If they match, it is a big hit in the high probability state, and if they do not match, it is determined that they are off (S106-4-2-4). In the case of losing, this special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2) ends. On the other hand, in the case of a jackpot, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S106-4-2-5). This special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2) ends. This special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2) corresponds to a win / fail determination means.

Following the special symbol jackpot determination process (S106-4-2), a special symbol selection process (S106-4-3) is performed.
In the special symbol selection process (S106-4-3), a combination of special symbols to be stopped and displayed on the display device 10 (display symbol of the determination result) is determined, and the symbol data that is the basis of the determined symbol is the output It is set here so as to be transmitted to the sub-control board 205 in the process (S101). In the process of the sub-control board 205, a special symbol combination based on the received symbol data is selected and output to the display control board 210.

  In the special symbol selection process (S106-4-3), as shown in FIG. 17, it is first determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S106-4-3-1). A special symbol based on the jackpot symbol random number is set as a stop special symbol (S106-4-3-3). On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is not ON, that is, if it is off, a special symbol data random value (special symbol data 1, special symbol data 2, special symbol data 3) is acquired (S106-4-3-3), It is judged whether the random numbers of the special symbol data 1, the special symbol data 2 and the special symbol data 3 are all coincident (S106-4-3-3-4). (S106-4-3-5). When the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is added to the random number value of the stop left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned to the random number value is set to the special symbol for stopping, and the special symbol assigned to the random number value of the special symbol data 3 is set to the special symbol for stopping right (S106-4-3-6). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, no reach is reached, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is changed to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned is the special symbol for stoppage, and the special symbol assigned to the random value obtained by adding 1 to the random value of the special symbol data 3 is set as the special symbol for stop right (S106-4-3-7). .

  If it is determined in S106-4-3-3-4 that the random numbers of the special symbol data 1, 2 and 3 do not match, it is determined whether the random values of the special symbol data 1 and 3 match. (S106-4-3-8). If the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 and 3 match, it is determined whether the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value (S106-4-3-9). If the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the stop left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned to the random symbol value of the special symbol data 3 which is the special symbol being stopped and the special symbol data 3 is set to the stopped special symbol (S106-4-3-10). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, no reach is reached, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is changed to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned is the special symbol for stoppage, and the special symbol assigned to the random value obtained by adding 1 to the random value of the special symbol data 3 is set as the special symbol for stop right (S106-4-3-7). .

  If it is determined in S106-4-3-8 that the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 and 3 do not match, that is, the special symbol data 1, 2, and 3 are all different, the reach random number value is established. It is determined whether or not it matches the numerical value (S106-4-3-11). When the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 3 is set as the stop left special symbol and the stop right special symbol, The special symbol assigned to the random value obtained by adding 1 to the random value of the special symbol data 3 is set as the special symbol during stoppage (S106-4-3-12). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, no reach is reached, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is changed to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The assigned special symbol is set to the stopped special symbol, and the special symbol assigned to the random number value of the special symbol data 3 is set to the stopped right special symbol (S106-4-3-10). The special symbol selection process (S106-4-3) corresponds to symbol data determining means. The symbol data determined here is transmitted to the sub-control board 205, and the symbol data is processed by the sub-control board 205. The symbol is set according to In this embodiment, the symbols to be displayed on the display device are selected by the main control board 200, but may be determined by the sub control board 205. Further, the symbols determined on the main control board 200 are displayed on another display device different from the display device, and the symbols to be displayed on the display device are determined on the sub control board 205 based on the symbol data of the symbols determined on the main control board 200. You can do it. In that case, the display method by the main control board 200 and the sub control board 205 is different, but if the sub control board 205 determines the design based on the data of the main control board 200, the recognition of the mutual design is different. Also good.

After the special symbol selection process (S106-4-3), a special symbol variation pattern selection process (S106-4-4) is performed.
The special symbol variation pattern selection process (S106-4-4) corresponds to variation pattern selection means, and one table (variation pattern table) is selected from a plurality of variation pattern tables based on the determination result, and the selected variation pattern is selected. One variation pattern (variation command) is selected from the table by the variation pattern random value. At that time, since the variation pattern includes a game effect, it corresponds to a game effect selection means.

  In the special symbol variation pattern selection process (S106-4-4), as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, it is first determined whether or not the probability variation is in progress (high probability state) (S106-4-4-1). . In the case of a normal state (low probability state) that is not under certain change, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (big hit) (S106-4-4-2). When the big hit flag is ON (big hit), a fluctuation pattern is selected from the normal hit fluctuation pattern table according to the fluctuation pattern random value (S106-4-4-3).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S106-4-4-2 that the jackpot flag is OFF (disconnected), the stored reach random number value is read out to determine whether it matches the reach establishment value (S106-4-4). -4) If they match, the variation pattern is selected from the normal reach variation pattern table according to the variation pattern random value (S106-4-4-5). If they do not match, the variation pattern is selected from the normal variation pattern table. A variation pattern is selected according to the random value (S106-4-4-6).

  If it is determined in S106-4-4-1 that the probability change is in progress (high probability state), it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (big hit) (S106-4-4-7). When the big hit flag is ON (big hit), a variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table for probability variation according to the variation pattern random value (S106-4-4-8).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S106-4-4-7 that the jackpot flag is OFF (disconnected), the stored reach random number value is read out to determine whether it matches the reach establishment value. A variation pattern is selected from the probability variation reach variation pattern table according to the variation pattern random value (S106-4-4-10), and if it is determined that they do not match, the probability variation from the variation pattern table according to the variation pattern random value is determined. A variation pattern is selected (S106-4-4-11).

  After selecting the variation pattern, the variation command of the selected variation pattern is stored in the output buffer (S106-4-4-12), and then other processing is performed (S106-4-4-13). This special symbol variation pattern selection process (S106-4-4) is completed.

After the special symbol variation pattern selection process (S106-4-4), a special symbol random number shift process (S106-4-5) is performed.
In the special symbol random number shift processing (S106-4-5), as shown in FIG. 20, the storage of the storage area 0 is cleared in the storage area of the special symbol reservation number in the RAM of the main control board 200 (S106-4-5). -1) The game information stored in the storage areas 1 to 4 is sequentially shifted to the cleared area (S106-4-5-2). That is, the shift is performed in the order of storage area 0 <-storage area 1 <-storage area 2 <-storage area 3 <-storage area 4. Shifting to the storage area 0 corresponds to establishment of the change start condition. The storage areas 0 to 4 correspond to the reservations 0 to 4. Thereafter, the hold information command after the shift is set (S106-4-5-3), and then the special symbol random number shift process (S106-4-5) is completed. The hold information command is information on the current number of special symbol holds.

Subsequent to the special symbol random number shift process (S106-4-5), a special symbol variation start process (S106-4-6) is performed. In the special symbol variation start process (S106-4-6), processing necessary for starting the variation of the special symbol is performed. The special symbol variation start process (S106-4-6) corresponds to game effect execution means.
After the special symbol variation start process (S106-4-6), the special operation status is set to 2 (S106-4-7), the waiting state is canceled (S106-4-8), and the special symbol standby is performed. The process (S106-4) ends.

  In the changing process (S106-5) performed when the special operation status is 2, as shown in FIG. 21, it is first determined whether or not the special symbol change time (change pattern change time) has ended (S106). -5-1) If the change time has not ended, the changing process (S106-5) is ended. On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has ended, a fluctuation stop command is set (S106-5-2). Subsequently, after the special operation status is set to 3 (S106-5-3) and other necessary processing (S106-5-4) is performed, this in-fluctuation processing (S106-5) ends.

  In the special symbol determination process (S106-6) performed when the special operation status is 3, as shown in FIG. 22, it is first determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON, that is, whether or not the big hit flag is set (S106-6). 1). When the jackpot flag is ON, that is, when the jackpot is successful, the jackpot command is stored in the output buffer (S106-6-2), and the special operation status is set to 4 (S106-6-3). The process (S106-6) ends. On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is OFF, that is, it is off, the special operation status is set to 1 (S106-6-4), and this special symbol confirmation process (S106-6) is completed.

  The special electric accessory processing (S106-7) performed when the special operation status is 4 corresponds to special game execution means (big hit game execution means). In the special electric accessory processing (S106-7), as shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, the probability variation flag is turned off (S106-7-1), and it is confirmed whether the display device 10 has performed the big hit opening effect. (S106-7-2). When the jackpot opening effect is not performed, the jackpot opening effect is executed (S106-7-3), and then it is determined whether or not the jackpot end flag is ON (the jackpot game end) (S106-7-4). ). On the other hand, if the jackpot opening effect has been performed, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot end flag is ON (the jackpot game ends) (S106-7-4).

  When the jackpot end flag is not ON, that is, when the jackpot game is not ended, it is determined whether or not the big prize opening 45 is currently open (S106-7-5). It is determined whether or not it is the opening time of the mouth 45 (S106-7-6). In the case of the opening time of the special winning opening 45, the special winning opening process is performed (S106-7-7), and then the special electric accessory process (S106-7) is ended. On the other hand, when it is not the opening time of the special winning opening 45, the special electric accessory processing (S106-7) is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S106-7-5 that the big prize opening 45 is open, it is the big prize opening closing time (S106-7-8), or 10 game balls are won in the big prize opening 45 (S106). -7-9) is determined, and if it is none, the special electric accessory processing (S106-7) is finished as it is, and the closing time for the big prize opening or the big prize is received. When ten game balls are won in the mouth 45, a big winning mouth closing process (S106-7-10) is executed, and then it is confirmed whether the round end time (S106-7-11). . If it is not the round end time, the special electric accessory processing (S106-7) is finished as it is, and if it is the round end time, 1 is subtracted from the value of the round counter (S106-7-). 12) is performed. In the special winning opening closing process (S106-7-10), a special winning opening closing command is set in the output buffer. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the round counter is 0 (S106-7-13). If the round counter is not 0, the special electric accessory processing (S106-7) is finished as it is, and the round counter is processed. When the counter is 0, after the jackpot end process and the process of turning on the jackpot end flag (S106-7-14) are performed, the special electric accessory process (S106-7) is ended. In the jackpot end process, preparation for ending is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S106-7-4 that the jackpot end flag is ON, that is, if the jackpot end flag is determined, the process of setting the jackpot end flag to OFF (S106-7-15) and the process of turning the jackpot flag OFF. (S106-7-16) is performed, and then it is confirmed whether or not the stop special symbol is a probability variable symbol (odd tick) (S106-7-17), and if the special stop symbol is a probability variable symbol If the probability variation flag is turned on (S106-7-18), on the other hand, if the special symbol for stoppage is not a probability variation symbol but a normal symbol (an even number), the probability variation flag is turned off (S106-7-19). Then, the special operation status is set to 1 (S106-7-20), and this special electric accessory processing (S106-7) is completed.

  Following the special operation process (S106), a hold number process (S107) is performed. In the hold number process (S107), as shown in FIG. 25, the current hold number is loaded (S107-1), and the hold number is set in the output buffer (S107-2).

  Following the number-of-holds process (S107), a power-off monitoring process (S108) is performed. In the power-off monitoring process (S108), as shown in FIG. 26, it is determined whether or not a power-off signal is input (S108-1). If the power-off signal is not input, this power-off monitoring process (S108). Ends. On the other hand, when the power-off signal is input, the current data (game state) is stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 (S108-2), and then the power-off flag is set ON (S108-). 3) The power-off monitoring process (S108) ends. The data (game state) stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 is roughly divided into display standby, symbol variation, symbol fixed display, and jackpot game data. (High probability state) and normal state (low probability state) data.

  Following the power-off monitoring process (S108), other processes (S109) are performed. In other processing (S109), other processing necessary for game control is performed.

Processing performed by the sub control board (sub control device) 205 will be described.
In the sub-control main process J performed by the sub-control board 205, as shown in FIG. 27, the CPU initialization process is performed in the sub-control board 205 when the gaming machine 1 is powered on (S201). In the CPU initialization process, settings are made for the external INT interrupt (reception interrupt) process (S300), the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400), and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500). Next, it is determined whether the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM are normal (S202). If the power-off signal is not ON, or if the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM are not normal, such as when the power-off signal is not normal and the contents of the RAM are normal, the RAM is initialized (S203). Thereafter, the watchdog timer counters 1 and 2 are initialized (S204). On the other hand, when both the power-off signal ON and the normal contents of the RAM are satisfied, the watchdog timer counters 1 and 2 are initialized without initializing the RAM (S204). The processes of S201 to S204 are executed only in the first order when the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

  After initialization of watchdog timer counters 1 and 2 (S204), interrupt processing is disabled (S205), random number seed update (S206), watchdog timer counter 1 initialization (S207), and interrupts are enabled (S208). Is called. Also, external INT interrupt processing (S300), 2 ms timer interrupt processing (S400), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S500) are performed during the loop processing.

In the interrupt prohibition (S205), even if an interrupt occurs, the interrupt is prohibited.
In the random number seed update (S206), the random number provided in the sub-control board 205 is updated.
In the initialization of the watchdog timer counter 1 (S207), the value of the watchdog timer counter 1 is initialized.
In the interrupt permission (S208), the execution of the interrupt is permitted.

  In the external INT interrupt processing (S300), as shown in FIG. 28, it is confirmed whether the strobe (STB) signal from the main control board 200 is ON (S301), and the strobe signal is ON, that is, the strobe signal is input to the external INT input unit. Is received, the command (control signal) output from the main control board 200 is received and stored in the RAM (S302). On the other hand, if the strobe signal is not ON, the external INT interrupt processing (S300) is completed at that time.

In the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400), as shown in FIG. 29, a ramp data output process (S401), a drive output process (S402), and a watchdog timer process (S403) are performed.
In the ramp data output process (S401), the ramp data created in the 10 ms timer interrupt process is output.
In the drive output process (S402), drive data creation and output processes are performed.
In the watchdog timer process (S403), the watchdog timer is reset.

  In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500), as shown in FIG. 30, switch state acquisition process (S501), voice control process (S502), main command analysis process (S503), password / two-dimensional code process (S504), lamp Processing (S505), command transmission processing (S506), and watchdog timer counter 2 initialization (S507) are performed.

In the switch state acquisition process (S501), switch data is stored.
In the sound control process (S502), a process for sound emitted from the speaker 38 is performed.

In the main command analysis process (S503), as shown in FIG. 31, it is determined whether a command is received from the main control board 200 (S503-1). If no command has been received, the main command analysis process (S503) ends. If a command has been received, it is determined whether the received command is a variable command (503-2). When a variation command is received, a mission display process (S503-3) is performed, and then this main command analysis process (S503) ends. On the other hand, when the variable command has not been received, processing according to the other received command is performed (S503-4), and thereafter, the main command analysis processing (S503) is ended.

Flow charts of the mission display process (S503-3) are shown in FIGS. In the mission display process (S503-3), first, as shown in FIG. 32, it is determined whether or not the number of continuously displayed effect-suggested images displayed on the effect-suggested image display continuation unit 13 of the display device 10 is zero. (S503-3-1).
If the number of continuous displays is 0, it is determined whether the SP reach a of the mission (game effect) has been achieved (executed) (S503-3-2). In the case of SP reach a achievement (SP reach a execution), “B-1”, which is an effect suggestion image of SP reach a, is displayed on the item display unit 12 achieved by the display device 10 (S503-3-3). Next, the effect suggestion image “B-1” is continuously displayed on the first stage (lowermost stage) of the effect suggestion image display continuation unit 13 (S503-3-4), and then this mission display process (S503-3). 3) is completed. In addition, S503-3-3 is an effect suggestion image display unit, and the process of displaying the effect suggestion image on the item display unit 12 achieved also in the following processing is an effect suggestion image display unit.
