Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine.

Conventionally, various types of gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines that have a probability variation state (privilege game) in which the probability that the gaming state will be a jackpot after the execution of the jackpot game (special game) is higher than normal have been proposed.
For example, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 below, after the variation of the identification symbol of each column is started on the variable display, the reach of the non-probability variation symbol “4” that does not become the probability variation state is formed, A non-probability change jackpot symbol “4, 4, 4” that does not become a probability fluctuation state is temporarily stopped and notified that the jackpot has been won. Thereafter, the identification symbol of each column is changed again, the re-drawing effect is started, the character image “PUSH” is displayed on the variable display, and the operation of the effect button is prompted.

  Then, when the player operates the effect button and wins the notice lottery, a promising promotion effect, a so-called special reach effect is performed. That is, after the character is displayed on the variable display, the reach of the probability variation symbol “7” that becomes the probability variation state is formed, and then the probability variation jackpot symbol “7, 7,” that becomes the probability variation state after the jackpot game is executed. 7 ”is displayed as a fixed stop. As a result, after the probability variation jackpot is confirmed and the jackpot game is completed, a probability fluctuation state (privilege game) advantageous to the player is obtained.

  However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 described above, the variation of the identification symbol of each column is started, and after the reach of the non-probability variation symbol “4” is formed, the non-probability variation big hit symbol “ “4, 4, 4” is temporarily stopped, and it is informed that a big hit has been made only by the stop mode of the identification symbol of each row. Therefore, the player cannot determine whether or not the probability winning state is changed after the jackpot game is finished until the re-lottery effect is executed and the probability variation jackpot symbol “7, 7, 7” is confirmed and stopped. As a result, there is a possibility that the preference for the effect display on the way to the execution of the re-lottery effect may be reduced even though the probability variation jackpot is acquired.

  In view of such a problem, the present invention can suggest the possibility that a special game will be executed in a special production until the identification symbol that the special game is executed is notified, and can enhance the preference. An object is to provide a gaming machine that can be used.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral W1 denotes an outer frame of the gaming machine, W2 denotes a front frame attached to the outer frame W1, and G denotes a glass frame attached to the front frame W2 by a hinge so as to be opened and closed. Hereinafter, each structure of the gaming machine 1 will be described.

  In the game area 6, a display device 10, a start winning opening 42, a big winning opening 45, and an out opening 48 are arranged in order from the upper part to the lower part on the center line. On the left and right sides of the start winning opening 42 and the large winning opening 45, winning openings such as a left sleeve winning opening 51, a left dropping winning opening 52, a right dropping winning opening 53, a right sleeve winning opening 54 and the like are arranged. A normal symbol variation start gate 55 is provided on the left side of the display device 10, and a windmill 76 is provided below the normal symbol change start gate 55. Further, a normal symbol display device 50 is incorporated below the windmill 76.

  In the start winning port 42, the big winning port 45, the left sleeve winning port 51, the left dropping winning port 52, the right dropping winning port 53, the right sleeve winning port 54, etc., the game balls launched into the gaming area 6 win ( It corresponds to a plurality of possible winning areas. When a game ball is won in each of the above winning openings (winning areas) and a win (win ball) is detected, a predetermined number of prize balls (game balls) are paid out to the player for the detection of one win ball. The number of prize balls to be paid out for the detection of the one winning ball is set for each winning port.

  The display device 10 is capable of displaying symbols and the like, and includes an image display device such as a liquid crystal, a dot matrix, or an LED display device. In this embodiment, the liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD module) is used.

  The display device 10 (display means) has a display unit (display area) 11. The display unit is used for displaying a special symbol (identification symbol) or displaying a predetermined effect video / image (including a special effect whose details will be described later). The display unit 11 has a left special symbol (left determination symbol, left identification symbol), a middle special symbol (middle determination symbol, middle identification symbol), and a right special symbol (right determination symbol, right identification symbol) arranged in the left and right directions. After the time variation display, the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol are stopped and displayed as the fixed stop special symbols (the fixed stop determination symbol and the fixed stop identification symbol) based on a predetermined effect determination result. At this time, in addition to the special symbol, an effect video / image (character, background, character, etc.) may be displayed on the display unit 11.

  In this embodiment, the left special symbol, middle special symbol, and right special symbol that are displayed in a variable and stopped state in this embodiment are “0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10”, respectively. , 11 ”and 12 designs. In this embodiment, when the game success / failure determination result is a jackpot (winning), the display unit 11 has a special jackpot combination of jackpots, in this example, “1,1,1” (so-called “1” tick eyes) ) And “2, 2, 2” (so-called '2' tick eyes), etc., special symbols are stopped and displayed in combination with the same number, and a privilege is given to the player. Specifically, a special game (big hit game) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game is executed. A normal game refers to a gaming state in which determination of success or failure other than a special game is made. In this embodiment, there are a low probability state, a probability variation state (high probability state), and a short time state (time reduction state). The display unit 11 also serves as a special symbol variation reserved ball number display for determining a jackpot (the so-called reserved ball number is displayed on the display unit 11).

  The normal symbol display device 50 is composed of a display device such as a liquid crystal, a dot matrix, or an LED display device, and variably displays normal symbols for determining small hits such as symbols or pictures (characters). The normal symbol display device 50 of the present embodiment includes an LED display device. The normal symbol that is changed and stopped on the normal symbol display device 50 in the present embodiment is composed of two types of “O” and “X”. When the symbol is per ordinary symbol, the normal symbol “O” is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, if the normal symbol is off, the off normal symbol “×” is stopped and displayed.

  The start winning opening 42 corresponds to a start winning area, and the two open / close members 42A and 42B are substantially vertical by a start winning opening solenoid on the back surface, and a closed state in which it is difficult to win (win) a game ball and a substantially V-shaped ( It is controlled so that it can be changed between easy-to-win open states. The transition to the open state of the start winning opening 42 is performed when the normal symbol is changed on the normal symbol display device 50 and then the fixed symbol “O” indicating the normal symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  In addition, on the back of the game board 2, a start winning port detection switch (start winning port sensor) is provided in the winning ball passage to detect the winning of a game ball (win ball) in the starting winning port 42. Is configured to do. In the present embodiment, the detection (winning) of a game ball at the start winning opening 42 is caused to acquire a predetermined random number value (numerical data) and to cause the start of variable display of the special symbol. . The random value (numerical data) acquired due to the winning at the start winning opening 42 is temporarily stored in the holding storage means (the storage means in the present invention). In other words, the variation display of the special symbol (identification symbol) is suspended, and the number of stored random numbers (numerical data) stored in the reserve storage means (the number of reserved balls), that is, the start winning opening (start winning region) The number of winnings to 42 is stored as the number of special symbol variation holding balls.

  This special symbol variation reserved ball number is displayed on the display unit 11 as a special symbol variation reserved ball number display, and this success / failure determination is performed based on the determination of success / failure by the determination unit (CPU of the main control board 200). The random number value (numerical data) corresponding to the determination and the stored value (the number of reserved balls) of the special symbol variation reserved ball number are subtracted, and the display of the special symbol (identification symbol) on the display unit 11 is started. Based on this, the display of the number of reserved balls on the special symbol variation reserved ball number display is reduced. In the present embodiment, the upper limit value of the number of winning times stored in the start winning opening 42, that is, the upper limit value of the number of special symbol variation holding balls is set to four except for the memory during the variation.

  When the number of the special symbol variation holding balls is stored up to the set upper limit number (four), the special symbol variation is detected even if the start winning port detection switch detects a winning game ball to the starting winning port 42 any more. The invalid ball is not stored as the number of reserved balls, and a predetermined number of prize balls (prize game balls) for the winning are paid out for the invalid balls without performing a change of special symbols and determining whether or not the ball is valid.

  The normal symbol variation start gate 55 is displayed on the basis of the fact that a game ball passing through the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected by a normal symbol variation start switch provided on the back of the game board 2. The device 50 starts the normal symbol variation. In addition, a maximum of four normal symbol fluctuation holding balls are stored as normal symbol fluctuations generated by the game balls passing through the normal symbol fluctuation start gate 55. More specifically, the normal symbol fluctuation reserved ball number display (not shown) displays the normal symbol fluctuation reserved ball numerical value. When the normal symbol starts to fluctuate, the number of normal symbol variation reserved balls is reduced, and the number displayed on the normal symbol variation reserved ball number display is reduced.

  The audio control board 220 synthesizes an audio signal with the signal output from the sub-control board 205 and outputs it to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the audio signal and outputs it to the speaker 38.

  The payout control board 240 corresponds to payout control means for controlling payout of game balls, and includes a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The payout control board 240 is connected to the main control board 200 through electrical connection means, and receives a control signal output from the main control board 200 to control the payout device 281. The payout control board 240 is operated by the power supplied from the power supply board 250. A control program is stored in the ROM of the payout control board 240. The RAM of the payout control board 240 can store the payout number of prize balls (game balls) to be paid out by the payout device 281 based on the detection of winnings in various winning holes for each payout number for detection of one winning ball. .

  The power supply board 250 generates a power supply for the gaming machine having a predetermined voltage suitable for the gaming machine 1 from the main power supply supplied from the outside of the gaming machine 1 and supplies it to the main control board 200, the sub control board 205, the payout control board 240, and the like. It corresponds to a power supply device. The main power is supplied after being converted into a required voltage at the game store side, in this embodiment, alternating current (AC) 24V. The launch control board 260 controls the launch motor in the launch device 64.

  The main control board 200 includes a jackpot random number counter, a reach random number counter, a variation pattern random number counter, a normal symbol random number counter, a jackpot symbol random number counter, a left symbol random number counter, a medium symbol random number counter, a right symbol A random number counter such as a random number counter is provided.

  The jackpot random number counter is used to determine whether or not the jackpot is won for the winning at the start winning opening 42, and has a jackpot random number value from '0' to '629'. The jackpot random number value (numerical data) in the jackpot random number counter is incremented by 1 every main random number update process to be described later, starting from “0” when the gaming machine is turned on, and then reaches “629”. The above addition is repeated again. The jackpot random number value is acquired due to the fact that a winning at the starting winning opening 42 is detected by the starting winning opening detecting switch. If the acquired jackpot random number value (acquired numerical data) is compared with a preset hit value, it becomes a jackpot (win), and if it does not match, it is lost.

  In the present embodiment, in the low probability state, two of “3” and “397” are set as the winning value, and if the acquired jackpot random number value matches either of these, the result of the determination is a jackpot (that is, The jackpot probability in the low probability state is 2/630). On the other hand, at the time of probability change, “3”, “33”, “53”, “59”, “113”, “173”, “227”, “281”, “337”, “397”, “449”, “ Twelve of 503 ′ are set as winning values, and if the acquired jackpot random number value matches any of these, the result of the determination is a jackpot (that is, the jackpot probability at the time of probability change is 12/630). In this way, the determination unit (the CPU of the main control board 200) determines whether or not the lottery based on the random number acquisition resulting from the establishment of the determination condition of winning the game ball to the start winning opening 42 is a big hit.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the internal lottery (the lottery with the jackpot symbol random number counter. Details will be described later), the game will be a normal jackpot that is a game in a low probability state even after the jackpot, and a game in a promiscuous state after the jackpot. It is distributed to a probable jackpot. In the case of a normal jackpot, among the special symbols (“0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11”), even symbols (“0, 2, 4, 6, 8”) , 10 '') are displayed on the display unit 11 in a stopped manner. In the case of a probable big hit, out of special symbols (“0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11”), odd symbols (“1, 3, 5, 7, 9”) , 11 '') are arranged on the display unit 11 in a stopped manner.

  In the present embodiment, after the normal jackpot game is over, the time is reduced until the determination of success / failure is made at most 100 times. After the determination is made 100 times, the time reduction is canceled and the normal state is maintained until the next jackpot. In addition, after the probable jackpot game is over, the probabilistic state (high probability state) and the short time state are maintained until the next jackpot. In the game in the short time state, as will be described in detail later, the lottery probability per normal symbol is improved from 1/300 to 60/300 (1/5), and the opening time of the opening and closing members 42A, 42B is 1 From 2 seconds to 2 seconds, the number of times of expansion increases from 1 to 3 times. Therefore, in the short time state, it becomes easy to win the start winning opening 42, and it is possible to play a game in anticipation of the next jackpot while suppressing the reduction of the ball.

  The reach random number counter is used for determining whether or not a reach state is reached when the result of the determination is wrong, and includes a reach random number value from ‘0’ to ‘126’. 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 in the display unit 11 with the variable stop. Special symbols (for example, the left special symbol and the right special symbol) are the same (except for the final stop symbol, it is the same as the special bonus combination except for the final stop symbol). Included state).

  This reach random number value starts from “0” when the gaming machine 1 is turned on, and is incremented by 1 for each main random number update process to be described later. Repeat addition. The reach random number value is acquired based on the detection of the winning at the starting winning port 42 by the starting winning port detecting switch, and when the result of the determination is wrong, the numerical value is determined in advance. The reach is determined by comparing with the numerical value. In this embodiment, the reach establishment numerical values are “5”, “17”, “28”, “40”, “51”, “63”, “74”, “86”, “97”, “109”, “ 120 '. In the present embodiment, the reach randomness value based on the jackpot random number value is always reach, so the reach random number value is not used for the presence / absence of reach.

  The variation pattern random number counter is used when selecting a special symbol (identification symbol) or a variation pattern of an effect mode to be described later 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 power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on, and is incremented by 1 for each main random number update process described later. When the numerical value reaches “198”, it is set to “0”. Repeat the above addition again. The fluctuation pattern random number value is acquired due to the fact that the winning at the start winning opening 42 is detected by the start winning opening detecting switch.

  The variation pattern table includes a plurality of variation patterns to be displayed on the display unit 11 and is stored in the ROM of the main control board 200. There are six types of variation pattern tables: a low probability state hit table, a low probability state reach loss table, a low probability state lose table, a probability variation state hit table, a probability variation state reach loss table, and a probability variation state loss table. Each variation pattern table is provided with a plurality of variation patterns, and each variation pattern is assigned a variation pattern random value.

  The selection of the variation pattern from the variation pattern table is based on whether the current low probability state or the probability variation state, whether the determination result by the determination unit is a hit or not, whether there is a reach, or not. A corresponding table is selected from among them, and one variation pattern is selected from the selected table based on the variation pattern random value. This selected variation pattern is output to the sub-control board 205 as a variation command. Upon receipt of this variation command, the sub control board 205 determines whether or not to execute a predetermined effect (competitive effect, special effect, etc.) using an effect mode random number counter, an effect random number counter, a reliability random number counter, or the like. To do.

  Each variation pattern is set with a variation time for variably displaying a special symbol (identification symbol) and an effect mode described later in a predetermined pattern, and the variation time is set when the variation display of the special symbol on the display unit 11 is started. The

  For the obtained jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random number value, reach random number value, and variation pattern random number value, a maximum of four each corresponds to the special symbol variation pending number in the corresponding area in the RAM of the main control board 200. Stored and used sequentially.

  The normal symbol random number counter is used to determine the normal symbol per unit. When the gaming machine 1 is powered on, it starts from “0” and is incremented by “1” every main random number update process to be described later to reach “299”. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. This normal symbol random number is acquired every time the game ball that has passed through the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected by the normal symbol variation start switch, and the normal symbol random number which is currently changing in the normal symbol display device 50 is obtained. Except for a maximum of four, they are stored in the normal symbol random value storage area of the RAM of the main control board 200.

  In the low-probability state, if the acquired normal symbol random number value matches “1” set as the winning value, the symbol is normal symbol. That is, the probability per normal symbol in the low probability state is 1/300. On the other hand, in the probability variation state (high probability state) and in the short time state, if it matches any one of “1” to “60” set as the winning establishment value, it is per normal symbol. That is, the probability per normal symbol in the probability variation state (high probability state) and in the short time state is 60/300 (1/5). When the normal symbol is hit, the opening / closing members 42A and 42B provided on both sides of the start winning opening 42 are opened and opened. In the case of per normal symbol in the low probability state, the start winning opening 42 is opened once for 1 second. On the other hand, in the case of the normal symbol per time in the probability variation state and the short time state, the opening / closing members 42A and 42B are opened three times for 2 seconds.

  The jackpot symbol random number counter has a jackpot symbol random number value for determining a stop special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when a jackpot. The jackpot symbol random number consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The jackpot symbol random number value is acquired during a special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200.

  In the jackpot symbol random number value, the number of the square that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set. When the jackpot symbol random value “1” is acquired, the special stop symbol “1,1,1” is set. When the jackpot symbol random number “2” is acquired, the special symbol “2,2,2” is stopped. Is set as a special symbol for stopping. As described above, a jackpot with an even stop special symbol is usually a big jackpot, and a jackpot with an odd stop special symbol is a promiscuous jackpot.

  The counter for the left symbol random number has a left symbol random number value for determining the left special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when the result of determining whether or not the jackpot is true. The left symbol random value consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The left symbol random number value is acquired during the special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200. A left special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set in the left symbol random value. That is, when the left symbol random number value “1” is acquired, the left special symbol “1” is set, and when the left symbol random number value “2” is acquired, the left special symbol “2” is set. The acquired random value is set as the left special symbol.

  The medium symbol random number counter has a medium symbol random number value for determining a medium special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when the result of determining whether or not the jackpot is true. The medium symbol random value consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The middle symbol random number value is acquired during the special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200. A medium special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set in the medium symbol random value. That is, when the medium symbol random value “1” is acquired, the medium special symbol “1” is set. When the medium symbol random number “2” is acquired, the medium special symbol “2” is set. The acquired random value is set as a medium special symbol.

  The right symbol random number counter has a right symbol random number value for determining the right special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when the jackpot winning / failing determination result is off. The right symbol random number consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The right symbol random number value is acquired in the special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200. A right special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set in the right symbol random number value. That is, when the right symbol random value “1” is acquired, the right special symbol “1” is set, and when the right symbol random value “2” is acquired, the right special symbol “2” is set. The acquired random value is set as the right special symbol.

  However, for example, in the case where the determination result is wrong, the random number values acquired by the random number counters coincide with each other, or the reach state is passed, although the left random number counter is determined by the reach random number counter. The left design random number value may match the right design random number value even though the numerical value is different from the right design random number value or the reach random number counter determines that there is no reach. In such a case, since the stop special symbol is set in accordance with the result of the determination of the success / failure and the presence / absence of reach, the random number value acquired by each random number counter may not be set as a special symbol as it is (described later) Refer to the symbol selection process).

  Examples of the random number counter provided in the sub control board (sub control device) 205 include an effect mode random number counter, an effect random number counter, a reliability random number counter, and a re-variable random number counter. The production mode random number counter has production mode random numbers from “0” to “199”, and determines whether or not to execute the predetermined production and the type of production to be executed based on the variation command transmitted from the main control board 200. Used when doing.

  The effect mode random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time a random number update process is performed in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later. It is rewritten and the addition is repeated again. The production mode random number counted by the production mode random number counter is acquired in “normal variation command processing” and “re-lottery variation command processing” described later in the control of the sub-control board 205, and varies from a variation pattern table (not shown). Used when selecting a pattern.

  Further, the production random number counter, the reliability random number counter, and the re-variation random number counter have production random value values, reliability random number values, and re-variation random value values of “0” to “99”, respectively. This is used when determining whether or not a predetermined effect is to be executed based on the variation command transmitted from.

  The effect random number counter, the reliability random number counter, and the re-variable random number counter start from “0” when the power is turned on and are incremented by “1” for each random number update process in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later. When it reaches', then it is rewritten to '0' and the addition is repeated again. The effect random number counter is acquired in “normal fluctuation command processing” described later in the control of the sub-control board 205 and used for determining the effect. Further, the reliability random number counter and the re-variation random number counter are acquired in “re-lottery variation command processing” described later in the control of the sub-control board 205 and used for determining the effect.

  Here, the game of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described. In the gaming machine 1, when the game balls launched by the launching device 64 toward the game area 6 win the various winning holes, a predetermined number of gaming balls corresponding to the winning holes become the upper balls receiving tray 36 as the winning balls. To be paid out. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol fluctuation start gate 55, the normal symbol starts to change in the normal symbol display device 50, and stops after a predetermined time fluctuation. At that time, in the case of a normal symbol, “◯” is displayed on the normal symbol display device 50, and the two opening / closing members 42A and 42B of the start winning opening 42 are substantially vertical by the starting winning opening solenoid on the back. It changes from a narrow open state where it is difficult to win a prize to an expanded and open state where it is easy to win a substantially V-shaped (reverse C-shaped), making it easier for a game ball to win. When a game ball enters the start winning port 42 and is detected (wins) by the start winning port detection switch, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a winning ball.

  Further, numerical data such as a jackpot random number value, a reach random number value, a variation pattern random number value, etc. are acquired due to the winning of the game ball in the start winning opening 42. The acquired random number value (numerical data) is stored in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200, and the special symbol variation, the determination of the success / failure and the display of the determination result are suspended, and the jackpot random value (numerical value) Number of data), that is, the number of winnings in the starting winning opening (starting winning area) 42 is stored in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 as the special symbol variation holding ball number.

  When there is storage (holding) of random numbers (numerical data) in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200, determination of whether or not to win a jackpot, determination of reach or not, etc. are performed before starting the special symbol variation display. At the same time, a variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table based on the variation pattern determination random value or the like, and the variation display of the special symbol is started on the display unit 11 based on the selected variation pattern. The change display of the special symbol is executed in accordance with the acquisition order of random values (numerical data) stored in the RAM (holding storage means), that is, the order in which the winning winning opening 42 is won. Further, the stored random number value (numerical data) is erased from the RAM (holding storage means) based on whether or not the validity determination is performed by the validity determination means.

  After a lapse of a predetermined time (variation time set for each variation pattern) from the start of the variation display of the special symbol, the variation of the special symbol is stopped, and the jackpot determination result is displayed on the display unit 11.

  When the determination result is a big hit, the special symbol is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 at a scale such as “5, 5, 5”. When the jackpot is reached, a special game (a jackpot game) is executed. In the special game state (big hit game state), the open / close plate 46 of the above-mentioned winning prize opening 45 is opened to make it easier to receive the game ball falling on the surface of the gaming area 6 and to be able to win the winning prize opening 45, When there is a prize at the big prize opening 45, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls. The opening / closing plate 46 is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, and the opening / closing plate 46 is repeatedly opened and closed for a predetermined round (predetermined number of times).

  In this embodiment, it is set to 15 rounds (15R), and in the case of a big hit, the opening / closing of the big winning prize opening 45 is repeated 15 rounds. If the jackpot is a regular jackpot (an even number of special symbols), after the jackpot game is over, the game is put into a short-running state until a hit / fail judgment is made a maximum of 100 times. If the jackpot is a promising jackpot (an odd number of special symbols), after the jackpot game is over, the player is placed in a probabilistic state (high probability state) and a short time state until the next jackpot.

  Next, the control process of the gaming machine 1 will be described. Examples of main flags provided on the main control board (main control device) 200 include a jackpot flag, a jackpot end flag, a probability change flag, a time reduction flag, and the like.

  The main control board 200 performs control processing by the CPU of the microcomputer in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of main processing performed by the main control board 200.

  In the main process, first, device initial setting (S10) is performed. In the device initial setting (S10), stack setting, interrupt time setting, CPU setting, SIO, PIO, CTC setting and the like are performed. Note that the processing required only when the power is turned on is executed only in the first round, and is not executed after that. However, the details are omitted because it is well known.

  Next, an interrupt prohibition process (S20), a main random number update process (S30), and an interrupt permission process (S40) are performed, and then a loop process that returns to the interrupt prohibition process (S20) is performed again. Interrupt processing (S100) is performed.

  In the interrupt prohibition process (S20), even if an interrupt process (S100) is entered every 4 msec, the interrupt is prohibited until the interrupt is permitted. In the next main random number update process (S30), various random numbers are incremented by one for each main random number update process (S30), and when the random number reaches the set upper limit value as described above, it returns to the minimum value and is added again. Is done. 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. 5, output process (S110), input process (S120), normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S130), winning detection process (S140), normal operation process (S150), special operation processing (S160), reserved ball number processing (S170), and other processing (S180) are performed in order.

  In the output process (S110), an output command (control signal) set in each process, acquired numerical data, and the like are transmitted to each control board. In the input process (S120), 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 (S130), the same process as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S30) performed in the loop process in the main process is performed.

  In the winning detection process (S140), as shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not a winning at the start winning opening 42 has been detected (S140-1). It is determined whether or not a game ball passage to the gate 55 is detected (S140-2). When the game ball passage to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is not detected, the winning detection process (S140) is ended. On the other hand, when the game ball passing to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected, it is determined whether the number of the normal symbol variation holding balls is 4 or more (S140-3). The process (S140) ends. On the other hand, if the number of normal symbol variation reservation balls is less than 4, 1 is added to the number of normal symbol variation reservation balls (S140-4), the normal symbol random number value is acquired, and the acquired normal symbol random number value is the main control. It is stored in the corresponding area (address) in the RAM of the substrate 200 (S140-5), and this winning detection process (S140) is completed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S140-1 that a winning at the start winning opening 42 has been detected, it is determined whether the number of special symbol variation holding balls is 4 or more (S140-6). The detection process (S140) ends. On the other hand, if the number of special symbol variation reservation balls is less than four, 1 is added to the number of special symbol variation retention balls (S140-7), and a jackpot random number value, a reach random number value, a variation pattern random number value, etc. are acquired. It is stored in the corresponding area (address) of the RAM (holding storage means) of the control board 200 (S140-8), and this winning detection process (S140) is completed.

  In the normal operation process (S150), as shown in FIG. 7, first, it is confirmed whether the open / close members 42A and 42B provided on both sides of the start winning opening 42 are open (S150-1). If the opening / closing members 42A and 42B are closed (narrow open state), it is confirmed whether or not the normal symbol variation holding ball number is 0 (S150-2), and if it is 0, the normal operation process (S150) is ended. . On the other hand, if the number of normal symbol variation holding balls is not 0, the normal symbol acquired in the normal symbol random number acquisition processing (S140-5) of the winning detection processing (S140) and stored in the RAM of the main control board 200. The random number value is read (S150-3), and it is confirmed whether the current probability variation state (high probability state) (S150-4).

  In the case of a low probability state that is not a probabilistic state, the above obtained normal symbol random value is compared with the established value per normal symbol in the low probability state to check whether they match. If it is per symbol and does not match, it is determined that the symbol is normally out (S150-5). The normal operation process (S150) ends when the normal symbol is out, while the normal opening / closing member 42A, 42B is opened at the opening time of 1 second and the number of times of opening once when the normal symbol is hit. The release process 1 is performed (S150-6), and then the normal operation process (S150) is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the probability variation state (high probability state) is determined in S150-4, the acquired normal symbol random number value is compared with the established numerical value per ordinary symbol in the probability variation state, and it is confirmed whether or not both match. If it does, it will be per normal symbol in the probability variation state, and if it does not match, it is determined that it is out of the normal symbol (S150-7). The normal operation process (S150) ends when the normal symbol is off. On the other hand, when the normal symbol hits, the open / close member 42A, 42B is opened for 2 seconds and opened three times. The release process 2 is performed (S150-8), and then the normal operation process (S150) ends.

  If it is determined in S150-1 that the opening and closing members 42A and 42B are open, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the opening and closing members 42A and 42B has passed (finished) (S150-9), and the opening and closing members 42A and 42B are opened. When the time has not elapsed, the normal operation process (S150) is ended. On the other hand, when the opening time of the opening and closing members 42A and 42B has elapsed, the opening and closing members 42A and 42B are closed (narrow open state). Is performed) (S150-10), and thereafter, the normal operation process (S150) ends.

  In the special operation process (S160), as shown in FIG. 8, it is determined which of the special operation status is 1 to 4 (S160-1 to S160-3). When the special operation status is 1, a special symbol standby process (S160-4) is performed. When the special operation status is 2, a changing process (S160-5) is performed, and the special operation status is In the case of 3, the special symbol confirmation process (S160-6) is performed, and in the case where the special operation status is 4, the special electric accessory process (S160-7) is performed.

  In the special symbol standby process (S160-4) performed when the special operation status is 1, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the number of special symbol variation holding balls is 0 (S160-4-1). If the number of symbol variation holding balls is 0, it is determined whether or not the display unit 11 is in a standby screen (standby screen) where the special symbol is not changing (S160-4-2), and in the standby screen (standby screen). If there is, the special symbol standby process (S160-4) ends. On the other hand, when it is not in the standby screen (standby screen), the standby screen setting process (S160-4-3) for making the display unit 11 the standby screen (standby screen) is performed, and the display unit 11 is switched to the standby screen. (S160-4-4), and then the special symbol standby process (S160-4) is completed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-1 that the number of special symbol variation holding balls is not 0, special symbol jackpot determination processing (S160-4-5) is performed. In the special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5), as shown in FIG. 10, first, the main control acquired in the special symbol-related random number value acquisition process (S140-8) of the winning detection process (S140). Of the jackpot random number values stored in the RAM (holding storage means) of the substrate 200, the first jackpot random number value is read (S160-4-5-1), and it is confirmed whether the current probability variation state (high probability state). (S160-4-5-2).

  In the case of a low probability state that is not a probabilistic state in S160-4-5-2, the acquired jackpot random number value is compared with the jackpot formation value in the low probability state to confirm whether or not both match, Is a big hit in the low probability state, and if they do not match, it is determined that they are out (S160-4-5-3). In the case of losing, this special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends, whereas in the case of a jackpot, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S160-4-5-4). The symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-5-2 that the probability change is high (high probability state), whether the acquired jackpot random number value is compared with the jackpot value in the high probability state and the two match? If it is confirmed and matches, it is a big hit in the high probability state, and if it does not match, it is determined that it is out (S160-4-5-5). In the case of losing, this special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends, whereas in the case of a jackpot, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S160-4-5-4). The symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends. This special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) corresponds to the process of the success / failure determination means in the present invention for determining whether or not the game is successful due to the establishment of the determination condition.

  Following the special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5), a special symbol selection process (S160-4-6) is performed. In the special symbol selection process (S160-4-6), the special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is determined. First, in the special symbol selection process (S160-4-6), as shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether the jackpot flag is ON (S160-4-6-1). A special symbol based on the jackpot symbol random number is set as a stop special symbol (S160-4-4-2). On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is not ON, that is, when it is off, the left / middle / right symbol random number counter (hereinafter, the left symbol random value is referred to as special symbol data 1, medium symbol). Random number value is acquired as special symbol data 2 and right symbol random value is referred to as special symbol data 3) (S160-4-6-3), and random numbers of special symbol data 1, special symbol data 2, and special symbol data 3 are obtained. Are consistent (S160-4-6-4). If they are consistent, it is determined whether the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value (S160-4-6-5).

  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 value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 by one. The special symbol assigned to the random number value is set to the special symbol for stoppage, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 3 is set to the special symbol for stoppage (S160-4-6-6). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, there is no reach, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned to the random symbol value obtained by adding 1 to the random symbol value of the special symbol data “3” and the special symbol data 3 being stopped is set as the special symbol for the right stop (S160-4-6-7).

  If it is determined in S160-4-6-4 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. (S160-4-6-8). 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 (S160-4-6-9). 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 assigned to the random number value of the stop left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol that is assigned to the random symbol value of the special symbol data 3 that is the special symbol that is stopped and the special symbol data 3 is set to the special symbol that is stopped right (S160-4-6-10). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, there is no reach, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned to the random symbol value obtained by adding 1 to the random symbol value of the special symbol data “3” and the special symbol data 3 being stopped is set as the special symbol for the right stop (S160-4-6-7).

  If it is determined in S160-4-6-8 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 It is determined whether or not it matches the established numerical value (S160-4-6-11). If the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol data 1 and the special symbol data 3 values are assigned to the special symbol data 1 or the special symbol data 3 random values. The special symbol assigned to the random value obtained by adding 1 to the random number value of the special symbol data 1 or the special symbol data 3 that is made the same as the special symbol data 1 or the special symbol data 3 is set. Is set as a special symbol during stoppage (S160-4-6-12). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, there is no reach, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol being assigned is the special symbol being stopped, and the special symbol assigned to the random number value of the special symbol data 3 is set as the special symbol for the right stop (S160-4-6-10).

  Subsequently, special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7) is performed. In the special symbol variation pattern creation process (S160-4-7), as shown in FIG. 12, it is confirmed whether the gaming state is in the normal state (low probability state) or the probability variation state (high probability state) (S160-4). -7-1). In the normal state, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is ON (whether or not the determination result is big hit) (S160-4-7-2). If the big hit flag is ON, the RAM (holding) of the main control board 200 is held. The variation pattern random value stored in the memory in the first reading order is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random value in the hit table in the normal state is selected (S160-4-7-3). ).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S160-4-7-2 that the big hit flag is not ON (the determination result is not right), the first in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 The reach random number value is loaded and compared with the reach establishment value, and if both match, reach is determined, and if not match, reach is not determined (S160-4-7-4). When the reach is present, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random number value in the reach lose table in the normal state is selected. (S160-4-7-5). If it is determined in S160-4-7-4 that there is no reach, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation in the loss table during the normal state. A variation pattern that matches the pattern random value is selected (S160-4-7-6).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-7-1 that the probability variation state (high probability state) is in progress, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is ON (whether or not the result of the determination is a big hit) (S160-4-7-7). When the flag is ON, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random number value in the hit table in the probability variation state is selected. (S160-4-7-8). On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-7-7 that the big hit flag is not ON (the determination result is not right), the first in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 The reach random number value is loaded and compared with the reach establishment value, and if both match, reach is determined, and if not match, reach is not determined (S160-4-7-9).

  If it is determined in S160-4-7-9 that the reach is present, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation in the reach loss table in the probability variation state. A variation pattern that matches the pattern random value is selected (S160-4-7-10). If it is determined in S160-4-7-9 that there is no reach, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation in the loss table during the probability variation state. A variation pattern that matches the pattern random value is selected (S160-4-7-11). After selecting the variation pattern, the selected variation command is stored in the transmission buffer (S160-4-7-12), and other necessary processing (S160-4-7-13) is performed. The pattern creation process (S160-4-7) ends. Note that the variation command selected here is transmitted to the sub-control board 205.

  Following the special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7), special symbol random number shift processing (S160-4-8) is performed. In the special symbol random number shift process (S160-4-8), in the data storage area of the special symbol variation holding ball number in the RAM of the main control board 200, it is stored in the storage area of the address with the highest load (reading) order. Due to the fact that data such as special symbol main random number values (big hit random number values, reach random number values, fluctuation pattern random number values) are loaded in the previous processing and become vacant, the loading order will be the second and subsequent addresses With respect to data such as the stored special symbol main random number values (big hit random number values, reach random number values, fluctuation pattern random number values), the address is shifted up by one.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, first, a special symbol (identification symbol) based on the determination result of the success / failure determination unit is displayed, so that the above-mentioned information stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 is displayed. 1 is subtracted from the number of special symbols fluctuation reserved balls (for example, 2 for the number of reserved balls is set to 1 and 3 is set to 2) (S160-4-8-1). The corresponding data is shifted to the RAM address of the number of reserved balls obtained by subtracting 1 from each number of reserved balls (S160-4-8-2), and then the lowest order (the load order is the last, the fourth in this embodiment). 0 is set to the RAM address corresponding to the number of reserved balls (S160-4-8-3).

  Following the special symbol random number shift process (S160-4-8), a special symbol variation start setting process (S160-4-9) is performed. In the special symbol variation start setting process (S160-4-9), settings such as preparation of a command necessary for starting the variation of the special symbol are performed. After the special symbol variation start setting process (S160-4-9), the special operation status is set to 2 (S160-4-10), the waiting state is canceled (S160-4-11), and the special symbol is set. The standby process (S160-4) ends.

  In the changing process (S160-5) performed when the special operation status is 2, as shown in FIG. 14, a special operation timer determination process is performed (S160-5-1). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol (the variation time of the variation pattern) has ended (whether or not the operation timer = 0) (S160-5-2). The changing process (S160-5) ends. On the other hand, if the variation time has ended, a variation stop command is set (S160-5-3). Subsequently, after the special operation status is set to 3 (S160-5-4) and other necessary processing (S160-5-5) is performed, this in-fluctuation processing (S160-5) ends.

  In the special symbol determination process (S160-6) performed when the special operation status is 3, as shown in FIG. 15, it is first determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (“1”), that is, whether or not the big hit flag. (S160-6-1). When the jackpot flag is ON, that is, when the jackpot is big, a round counter per 15R is set (S160-6-2), and the special operation status is set to 4 (S160-6-3). (S160-6) ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-6-1 that the jackpot flag is OFF, that is, it is out of place, the special action status is set to 1 (S160-6-4), and this special symbol confirmation process (S160-6) ) Ends.

  In the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) performed when the special operation status is 4, as shown in FIG. 16, the probability variation flag is turned off (S160-7-1), and the jackpot opening has been performed. No. (whether or not a video indicating that a big hit is to be started is displayed on the display unit 11) is confirmed (S160-7-2). If the jackpot opening is not performed, the jackpot opening is performed, or if it is confirmed that the jackpot opening is performed, then whether the jackpot end flag is ON ("1") or not It is judged (S160-7-3).

  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 winning opening 45 is currently open (S160-7-4). It is determined whether or not it is the opening time of the special winning opening 45 (S160-7-5). In the case of the opening time of the big winning opening 45, the opening process of the big winning opening is performed (S160-7-6), and then this special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended. On the other hand, when it is not the opening time of the special winning opening 45, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-7-4 that the big winning opening 45 is open, ten game balls are won in the big winning opening 45 (S160-7-7), or the round end time has elapsed (S160-7). Whether it is any of (8) to (8), and if not, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is terminated. On the other hand, when 10 game balls are won in the big winning opening 45 or the round end time has elapsed, the big winning opening closing process (S160-7-9) and the value of the round counter are decremented by one. (S160-7-10) is performed (as described above, since the number of rounds of the jackpot game is 15R in this embodiment, subtraction is started from 15). In the special winning opening closing process (S160-7-9), the special winning opening closing command is set in the output buffer.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the round counter is 0 (S160-7-11). If the round counter is not 0, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended as it is, When the round counter is 0, jackpot end processing (S160-7-12) is performed. Thereafter, the jackpot end flag is turned ON (S160-7-13), and the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot end flag is ON (“1”) in S160-7-3, that is, when the jackpot end flag is determined to be ended, the process of setting the jackpot end flag to OFF (S160-7-14) and the jackpot flag Is turned off (S160-7-15), and then it is confirmed whether the special symbols that have stopped in a rounded pattern are probability variation symbols (odd numbers) (S160-7-16). If the stopped special symbol is a probability variation symbol, the probability variation flag is turned ON again (S160-7-17). Thereafter, the special operation status is set to 1 (S160-7-18), and this special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is completed. On the other hand, in S160-7-16, if the stopped special symbol is not the probability variation symbol, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is performed without turning on the probability variation flag (while the probability variation flag is turned off). Ends.

  Following the special operation process (S160), the reserved ball number process (S170) is performed. In the reserved ball number processing (S170), as shown in FIG. 17, the number of reserved balls of the current special figure and normal symbol is loaded (S170-1), and the number of held balls is set as a special figure hold command and a general figure hold command. It is set in the output buffer (S170-2). By this retained ball number processing (S170), the memory related to the retained ball number in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is set to be output to the sub-control board 205.

  After the reserved ball number processing (S170), other processing (S180) is performed. In the other process (S180), various other processes necessary for the game are performed as necessary.

  Next, processing performed by the sub control board 205 will be described. In the sub control main process (S200) performed by the sub control board 205, as shown in FIG. 18, first, a CPU initialization process is performed (S201). Specifically, stack setting, CPU setting, SIO, CTC setting, and the like are performed. When the power-off signal is turned on, it is determined whether or not the content stored in the RAM of the sub-control board 205 is normal (S202). If normal, the loop process is performed as it is. On the other hand, if the content stored in the RAM is not normal, the loop is performed after the RAM is initialized (S203).

  The sub-control board 205 that performs such sub-control main processing (S200) performs reception interrupt processing (S300) as shown in FIG. The reception interrupt process (S300) is a process for receiving a command (control signal) from the main control board 200. In the reception interrupt process (S300), first, it is confirmed whether the strobe (STB) signal from the main control board 200 is ON (S301). When the strobe signal is ON, that is, when the strobe signal is input to the external INT input unit, The command (control signal) output from the main control board 200 is received and stored in the RAM (S302). Here, the commands received from the main control board 200 include a winning command, a variation command, jackpot determination data, hold number data, and the like. On the other hand, if the strobe signal is not ON, the reception interrupt process (S300) is terminated at that time.

  Further, the sub-control board 205 performs a 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400) as shown in FIG. In the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400), a data output process (S401), an input process (S402), and a watchdog timer process (S403) are performed. In the data output process (S401), a process for generating and outputting a lamp lighting pattern, a sound pattern, and the like every 2 ms, and control data for driving a driven object are generated. In the input process (S402), for example, the operation status of the game button switch 67 is input. In the watchdog timer process (S403), a process for resetting the watchdog timer is performed.

  Further, the sub-control board 205 performs a 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) as shown in FIG. In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500), the switch state acquisition process (S501), the command reception permission confirmation process (S502), the lower dish state confirmation process (S503), the loop scenario resetting process (S504), and the command monitoring process (S505) Lamp processing (S506), switch processing (S507), command transmission processing (S508), etc. are performed.

  In the switch state acquisition process (S501), the switch data created in the 2 ms timer interrupt process is stored as switch data for the 10 ms timer interrupt process. In the command reception permission confirmation process (S502), a determination of the effect prohibition period such as when the RAM is cleared is performed. In the lower dish state confirmation process (S503), a timer for full notification of the lower ball tray 37 is set. In the loop scenario resetting process (S504), effects are set at regular intervals such as a customer waiting effect.

  In the command monitoring process (S505), a command (control signal) received from the main control board 200 is analyzed, and a process corresponding to the command is performed. As shown in FIG. 22, in the command monitoring process (S505), it is first determined whether a command (control signal) has been received from the main control board 200 (S505-1). When no command is received from the main control board 200, the command monitoring process (S505) ends.

  On the other hand, when a command is received from the main control board 200, it is determined whether or not the command is the above-mentioned variable command (S505-2), and when it is not a variable command, it is determined whether or not it is a customer waiting command (S505). -3). If the command is neither a change command nor a customer waiting command, other command processing is performed (S505-4), and the command monitoring processing (S505) ends.

  On the other hand, if the received command is a customer waiting command in S505-3, customer waiting command processing is performed (S505-5), and the command monitoring processing (S505) ends. The customer waiting command process (S505-5) includes, for example, a process of controlling the voice control board 220 so that the volume of the music fades out if the music is in the music. In the customer waiting command process (S505-5), the special symbol and the normal symbol are stopped when there is no hold for determining whether or not the jackpot and the normal symbol are hit in the main process (when all the hold is exhausted). After that, the command is transmitted from the main control board 200.

  In the above S505-2, when the received command is a variation command, for example, five “A”, “I” between the start of the variation of the special symbol and the variation stop or temporary variation stop. ”,“ U ”,“ E ”,“ O ”, etc., it is suggested whether or not the jackpot is given depending on whether or not the decorative symbols 82A to 82E (see FIG. 26) are aligned. After the temporary variation stop, it is determined whether or not the command is a re-lottery variation command including a special effect pattern that suggests whether or not to re-variate and stop varying with a probable big hit symbol (S505-6).

  If it is not a re-lottery variation command, that is, if it is a normal variation command including a normal variation pattern, normal variation command processing is performed (S505-7), and the command monitoring processing (S505) ends. On the other hand, in the case of a re-lottery variation command in which the special variation pattern is included in the received variation command, a re-lottery variation command process whose details are shown in FIGS. 23 to 25 is performed (S505-8), and command monitoring is performed. The process (S505) ends.

  The normal variation command processing (S505-7) and the re-lottery variation command processing (S505-8) are more specific based on the variation pattern set in the special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7). This is a process for selecting and executing a typical effect (a so-called super reach effect using the display device 10), and using the effect mode random number counter, the effect random number counter, the reliability random number counter, and the re-variable random number counter. The effect mode (effect pattern) is determined, and a privilege (usually jackpot or a probable bonus jackpot) is given or notified of losing.

  After the command monitoring process (S505) including the normal variation command process (S505-7) and the re-lottery variation command process (S505-8), the ramp data to be output is generated in the ramp process (S506). Thereafter, in the switch process (S507), the switch valid time is managed and the operation is set. Also, processing based on the data stored in the switch status acquisition processing is performed. Subsequently, in the command transmission process (S508), if there is a transmission command, the command is transmitted. As a result, the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) ends. Note that other processing may be included in the 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S500) in accordance with the function of the gaming machine 1 or the like.

  Next, the re-lottery variation command process (S505-8) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the re-lottery variation command process (S505-8), as shown in FIG. 23, first, whether or not the received variation command is a variation command that becomes a big hit (usually big win or a probable big hit) (special symbols are all round) It is determined whether or not the productions are aligned (S505-8-1). If it is determined that the command is a variation command that is a jackpot, then it is determined whether or not the command is a variation command that is a probable variation jackpot (whether or not it is an effect when an odd number of special symbols are arranged together) S505-8-2).

  If it is determined that the command is a variable command that is a probable big hit, then a reliability random number value of “0” to “99” is acquired by the reliability random number counter, and the acquired It is determined whether or not the reliability random number value is any one of “0” to “79” (S505-8-3). That is, a special effect display with high reliability for notifying that there is a high probability (for example, a probability of 100%) that the normal jackpot symbol is tentatively suspended and then re-variable to stop the variation with the probability variation jackpot symbol. It is determined whether or not to do so.

  Then, when it is determined that the obtained reliability random number value is one of “0” to “79” (S505-8-3), after the normal jackpot symbol is temporarily suspended. Then, the display of a highly reliable special performance pattern that indicates that the probability variation jackpot symbol is suspended is started with a high probability of re-variation (for example, a probability of 100%) (S505-8-4). ).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, first, the left, middle, and right special symbols start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, and the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are even symbols (for example, “6”)), the reach fluctuation state where the medium special symbol 81B is fluctuating is reached, and then the reach fluctuation state is displayed small on the upper left side of the display unit 11. At the same time, five decorative symbols 82A to 82E (e.g., "A, Ai" different from the special symbols ("0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11"). In the state where the central decorative symbol 82C is fluctuating, five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are displayed at the substantially central portion of the display unit 11 (FIG. 26). (1)-(2)).

  In addition, when the decorative design 82C temporarily stops at the center above the five decorative designs 82A to 82E in the state where the central decorative design 82C is changing, the normal jackpot symbol is temporarily changed and then changed again. Is notified that the change will stop with a probable big hit symbol (for example, “Probable change confirmed when“ U ”comes!” Is displayed). At the same time, “SP reach” is displayed on the upper right side of the display unit 11 to notify that it is in a so-called special reach state (FIG. 26 (2)).

  When a highly reliable special effect pattern is selected, an effect mode random value of “0” to “199” is acquired by the counter for effect mode random number, and the acquired effect mode random value is obtained. However, when the random number value is any one of “0” to “179”, a decorative symbol having a combination of “A, U, E, E” is selected as the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E. When the random number value is any one of 180 ′ to “199”, a decorative symbol having a combination of “ma, mi, mu, me, and mo” is selected as the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23, a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E with the central decorative symbol 82C changing are displayed on the display unit 11. In this case, five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are displayed at the center of the display unit 11 with the decorative symbol 82C temporarily stopped at the center and aligned, and the normal jackpot symbol is displayed on the upper left side of the display unit 11. Is temporarily stopped (S505-8-5). For example, as shown in FIG. 26, among the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E of “A, I, U, E, O”, the decorative symbol 82C of “U” in the center is slightly changed. The temporary variation is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 and the normal big hit symbols 81A to 81C of “6, 6, 6” are slightly varied temporarily stopped on the upper left side of the display unit 11. (FIG. 26 (3A)).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-3 that the obtained reliability random number value is one of “80” to “99”, the normal jackpot symbol is temporarily suspended. After that, it is re-variable and the display of the low-reliability special performance pattern is started with a low probability (for example, a probability of about 17%), which suggests that the probability variation jackpot symbol is suspended. -6).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29, first, the left, middle and right special symbols start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, and the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are even symbols (for example, “6”)), the reach fluctuation state where the medium special symbol 81B is fluctuating is reached, and then the reach fluctuation state is displayed small on the upper left side of the display unit 11. At the same time, among the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E (for example, “Kakaki, Kaku, Kuke, Ko”), the five decorative symbols are in a state where the central decorative symbol 82C is fluctuating. 82A to 82E are displayed at substantially the center of the display unit 11 (FIGS. 29 (11) to (12)).

  In addition, when the decorative design 82C temporarily stops at the center above the five decorative designs 82A to 82E in the state where the central decorative design 82C is changing, the normal jackpot symbol is temporarily changed and then changed again. Thus, it is notified that the fluctuation is stopped with the normal jackpot symbol or the probable jackpot symbol (for example, “Big hit when“ KU ”comes!” Is displayed). At the same time, “SP reach” is displayed on the upper right side of the display unit 11 to notify that it is in a so-called special reach state (FIG. 29 (12)).

  When a low-reliability special effect pattern is selected, an effect mode random value from “0” to “199” is acquired by the effect mode random number counter, and the acquired effect mode random value is obtained. However, when the random number value is any one of “0” to “179”, a decorative symbol combination of “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko” is selected as the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E. When the random number value is any one of 180 ′ to “199”, a decorative symbol having a combination of “SA, SHI, SE, SE, SO” is selected as the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23, a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E with the central decorative symbol 82C changing are displayed on the display unit 11. In this case, the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E whose decorative symbol 82C is temporarily stopped at the center are displayed at the center of the display unit 11, and the normal big hit symbol is small and temporarily stopped at the upper left of the display unit 11. (S505-8-7). For example, as shown in FIG. 29, among the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E of “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko”, the decorative symbol 82C of “ku” in the center is slightly changed. The temporary variation is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11, and the normal big hit symbol of “6, 6, 6” is slightly fluctuated to the upper left side of the display unit 11 and temporarily suspended (see FIG. 29 (13A)).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 23, the temporary variation stop is performed in a state where the normal big hit symbols 81 </ b> A to 81 </ b> C temporarily stopped to be slightly changed on the upper left side of the display unit 11 are largely and slightly changed in the central part of the display unit 11. In general, it is notified that the jackpot has been won (S505-8-8). For example, as shown in FIG. 27 or FIG. 30, the normal jackpot symbols 81A to 81C of “6, 6, 6” are temporarily fluctuated and stopped in a state where they are largely and slightly fluctuating in the center of the display unit 11, It is notified that the jackpot has been won (FIG. 27 (4A), FIG. 30 (14A)). Thus, the player can easily recognize that there is a possibility that the player will be promoted to a probabilistic jackpot symbol, because the player usually has not yet confirmed the jackpot, and can improve the preference.

  Subsequently, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C that are temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11 are displayed in a small state in the state that they slightly change on the upper left side of the display unit 11 and temporarily displayed. The fluctuation is stopped, and the character 83 is displayed at the approximate center of the display unit 11 (FIGS. 27 (5) and 30 (15)) (S505-8-9). In addition, a message of “another time” suggesting that the temporary change is started again is displayed on the upper right side of the display unit 11 (FIGS. 27 (5) and 30 (15)) (S505-8-9). . Thereafter, the temporary variation of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, which is temporarily suspended on the upper left side of the display unit 11, is started, and the character 83 is moved and displayed (FIG. 27 (6), FIG. 31 ( 16)) (S505-8-9).

  Of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C displayed on the upper left side of the display unit 11, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are odd symbols (for example, “7”). It stops and it will be in the reach fluctuation state in which only the middle special symbol 81B is fluctuating (FIG. 28 (7), FIG. 31 (17A)) (S505-8-10). Further, the character 83 is moved and displayed at the center of the display unit 11 (FIG. 28 (7), FIG. 31 (17A)) (S505-8-10).

  After that, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, 81C are stopped at the center of the display unit 11 with odd-numbered symbols such as “7, 7, 7”. The fact that it has been given is notified (FIG. 28 (8), FIG. 31 (18A)) (S505-8-11), and the re-lottery variation command process (S505-8) is completed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-2 that the command is not a variable command that is a promising jackpot, that is, if it is determined that the command is a variable command that is a normal jackpot, then, as shown in FIG. In S505-8-12 to S505-8-13, the processes of S505-8-6 to S505-8-7 are executed. For example, as shown in FIGS. 29 (11) to (13A), after the display of the low-reliability special effect pattern is started, the five decorative symbols 82A to “Ka, Ki, Ku, Ke, Ko” are displayed. 82E, the central “ku” decorative symbol 82C is temporarily changed in a state where it slightly fluctuates and is displayed on the display unit 11, and the normal jackpot symbol “6, 6, 6” is displayed. The temporary fluctuation stop is made small in a state where it slightly fluctuates on the upper left side of the part 11.

  Subsequently, the re-variable random number value of “0” to “99” is acquired by the re-variable random number counter, and the acquired re-variable random value is any one of “0” to “79”. It is determined whether or not the random number is (S505-8-14). That is, it is determined whether or not the normal jackpot symbol is tentatively suspended and then re-varied to stop the variation with the normal jackpot symbol.

  When it is determined that the acquired re-variable random number value is any one of “0” to “79” (S505-8-14), S505-8-15 to S505-8- In S16, the processes of S505-8-9 to S505-8-10 are executed. For example, as shown in FIGS. 30 (14 A)-(15) to FIG. 31 (16), the normal jackpot symbols 81 A to 81 C of “6, 6, 6” greatly vary slightly in the center of the display unit 11. The temporary fluctuation is stopped in a state where the vehicle is in a normal state, and a notification that the jackpot has been won is usually made.

  Thereafter, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C are displayed in a small state in the state that they slightly fluctuate on the upper left side of the display unit 11 and temporarily fluctuated, and the character 83 is substantially in the center of the display unit 11. Is displayed. Then, the temporary variation of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, which is temporarily suspended on the upper left side of the display unit 11, is started, and the character 83 is moved and displayed. Thus, the player can easily recognize that there is a possibility that the player will be promoted to a probabilistic jackpot symbol, because the player usually has not yet confirmed the jackpot, and can improve the preference.

  Subsequently, among the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C displayed on the upper left side of the display unit 11, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are even symbols (for example, “6”). And the reach variation state in which only the medium special symbol 81B is varied (FIG. 31 (17B)) (S505-8-17). Further, the character 83 is moved to the center of the display unit 11 and displayed (FIG. 31 (17B)) (S505-8-17).

  After that, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A, 81B, 81C are stopped at the center of the display unit 11 with the even symbols such as the normal jackpot symbol “6, 6, 6” and the normal jackpot The fact that it has been granted is notified (FIG. 31 (18B)) (S505-8-18), and the re-lottery change command process (S505-8) is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-14 that the acquired re-variable random number value is one of “80” to “99”, the display unit 11 is slightly displayed on the upper left side. A normal jackpot symbol, for example, “6, 6, 6”, which is temporarily fluctuated and stopped in a state of being fluctuated, is suspended at the center of the display unit 11 and is notified that a normal jackpot has been given ( 29 (13A) -30 (14B)) (S505-8-18), the re-lottery change command processing (S505-8) ends.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, in S505-8-1, when the received variation command is not a variation command that is a big hit (is a variation command that falls out), then, as shown in FIG. Further, the reliability random number value of “0” to “99” is acquired by the reliability random number counter, and the acquired reliability random number value is any one of “0” to “19”. It is determined whether or not it is a random value (S505-8-19).

  When it is determined that the obtained reliability random number value is any one of “0” to “19”, the process of S505-8-4 is performed in S505-8-20. Executed. In other words, after the regular jackpot symbol is temporarily suspended, it is re-variable and has a high probability (for example, 100% probability). A highly reliable special performance pattern suggesting that the probability varying jackpot symbol is suspended. Is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, first, the left, middle, and right special symbols start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, and the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are even symbols (for example, “6”)), the reach fluctuation state where the medium special symbol 81B is fluctuating is reached, and then the reach fluctuation state is displayed small on the upper left side of the display unit 11. At the same time, among the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E (for example, “A, I, U, E, O”), the five decorative symbols are in a state where the central decorative symbol 82C is fluctuating. 82A to 82E are displayed in the approximate center of the display unit 11 (FIGS. 26 (1) to (2)).

  In addition, when the decorative design 82C temporarily stops at the center above the five decorative designs 82A to 82E in the state where the central decorative design 82C is changing, the normal jackpot symbol is temporarily changed and then changed again. Is notified that the change will stop with a probable big hit symbol (for example, “Probable change confirmed when“ U ”comes!” Is displayed). At the same time, “SP reach” is displayed on the upper right side of the display unit 11 to notify that it is in a so-called special reach state (FIG. 26 (2)).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E in a state where the central decorative symbol 82C is changing are displayed on the display unit 11. In this case, any of the decorative symbols 82A, 82B, 82D, and 82E other than the decorative symbol 82C is temporarily stopped at the center, and temporarily stopped while the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are not aligned. (S505-8-21).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26 (3B), five “a, i, e, o” temporarily fluctuated in a state where the decoration pattern 82E of “o” slightly fluctuates in the center. The decorative symbols 82A, 82B, 82E, 82D, and 82E are displayed at the center of the display unit 11. At the same time, the outreach reach symbols 81A to 81C are temporarily tentatively stopped at the upper left side of the display unit 11 (S505-8-21). For example, as shown in FIG. 26 (3 </ b> B), outlier reach symbols 81 </ b> A to 81 </ b> C of “6, 7, 6” are temporarily temporarily stopped in a small manner on the upper left side of the display unit 11.

  Thereafter, the center of the display unit 11 is informed that the detachment symbols 81A to 81C, such as “6, 7, 6”, etc. have been variably stopped and the detachment has been confirmed (FIG. 27 (4B)). (S505-8-22), the re-lottery variation command process (S505-8) is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S505-8-19 that the obtained reliability random number value is any one of “20” to “99”, in S505-8-23, the above S505 is performed. The process of -8-6 is executed. In other words, after the regular jackpot symbol is temporarily suspended, it is re-variable and has a low probability (for example, a probability of about 17%). A low-reliability special effect suggesting that the probability variation jackpot symbol is suspended. The pattern display starts.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29, first, the left, middle and right special symbols start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, and the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are even symbols (for example, “6”)), the reach fluctuation state where the medium special symbol 81B is fluctuating is reached, and then the reach fluctuation state is displayed small on the upper left side of the display unit 11. At the same time, among the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E (for example, “Kakaki, Kaku, Kuke, Ko”), the five decorative symbols are in a state where the central decorative symbol 82C is fluctuating. 82A to 82E are displayed at substantially the center of the display unit 11 (FIGS. 29 (11) to (12)).

  In addition, when the decorative design 82C temporarily stops at the center above the five decorative designs 82A to 82E in the state where the central decorative design 82C is changing, the normal jackpot symbol is temporarily changed and then changed again. Thus, it is notified that the fluctuation is stopped with the normal jackpot symbol or the probable jackpot symbol (for example, “Big hit when“ KU ”comes!” Is displayed). At the same time, “SP reach” is displayed on the upper right side of the display unit 11 to notify that it is in a so-called special reach state (FIG. 29 (12)).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E in a state where the central decorative symbol 82C is changing are displayed on the display unit 11. In this case, any of the decorative symbols 82A, 82B, 82D, and 82E other than the decorative symbol 82C is temporarily stopped at the center, and temporarily stopped while the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are not aligned. (S505-8-24).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 29 (13B), five “ka, ki, ko, ke, ko” temporarily stopped with the “ko” decorative pattern 82E slightly fluctuating in the center. The decorative symbols 82A, 82B, 82E, 82D, and 82E are displayed at the center of the display unit 11. At the same time, the detach reach symbols 81 </ b> A to 81 </ b> C are temporarily suspended by a small amount on the upper left side of the display unit 11 (S505-8-24). For example, as shown in FIG. 29 (13 </ b> B), outlier reach symbols 81 </ b> A to 81 </ b> C of “6, 7, 6” are temporarily temporarily stopped in a small manner on the upper left side of the display unit 11.

  Thereafter, the center part of the display unit 11 is notified that the detachment symbols 81A to 81C such as “6, 7, 6” have been suspended and the detachment has been confirmed (FIG. 30 (14C)). (S505-8-22), the re-lottery variation command process (S505-8) is terminated.

  As described above in detail, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control board 205, when the received variation command is a big lottery variation command, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81A. After the 81C variation starts, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C temporarily stop at an even symbol (for example, “6”), and the middle special symbol 81B changes to reach reach variation state. The reach fluctuation state is displayed small on the upper left side of the display unit 11. At the same time, five decorative symbols 82A to 82E different from the special symbols ("0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11") are displayed in the central decorative symbol 82C. Is displayed at a substantially central portion of the display unit 11.

  After that, the decorative symbol 82C is temporarily stopped at the center, and after the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are aligned and temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11, the normal jackpot symbol is displayed at the center of the display unit 11. Temporary fluctuation is stopped. Subsequently, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are changed again, and the probability variation jackpot symbol or the normal jackpot symbol is stopped. In addition, when temporary fluctuation is stopped in a state where five decorative symbols 82A to 82E of “A, I, U, E, O” or “Ma, M, M, M, M, M” are aligned, In the middle, after the right special symbols 81A to 81C re-variate, the probability variation big hit symbol is suspended with a high probability of 100%.

  On the other hand, if the temporary variation is stopped in a state where the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E of “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko” or “sa, shi, shi, se, so” are aligned, the variation will be resumed. After that, the normal jackpot symbol is suspended at a high probability of about 83% and the probability variation jackpot symbol is suspended at a low probability of about 17%.

  As a result, the player starts the fluctuation of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C, and after reaching the reach state, the player temporarily stops changing with the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E being aligned. It can be confirmed that at least the normal jackpot game is executed. In addition, the player may temporarily stop changing the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E with a combination of “A, I, U, E, O” or “Ma, M, M, M, M, M”. It is possible to know the level of probability that the probabilistic jackpot symbol can be suspended after re-variation depending on whether the temporary variation is stopped by the combination of “Ki, Ku, Ke, Ko” or “Sa, Shi, Su, Se, So”. .

  Therefore, the five decorative symbols 82A-82E are “a, i, u, e, o”, “ma, mi, mu, me, mo”, “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko. ] Or “SA, SHI, SE, SE, SO” can be strongly attracted to whether or not they are in a combined state, and the preference for displaying the special performance pattern can be enhanced.

  Further, in the case of a re-lottery variation command in which the received variation command is out, the sub control board 205 starts the variation of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C and sets the reach state to 5 pieces. The decorative symbols 82A to 82E are displayed on the substantially central portion of the display unit 11 with the central decorative symbol 82C changing. Thereafter, any of the decorative symbols 82A, 82B, 82D, and 82E other than the decorative symbol 82C is temporarily stopped at the center, and the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are not aligned (for example, “A , O, E, O ”)) When temporary fluctuation is stopped, outreach symbols 81A to 81C such as“ 6, 7, 6 ”, etc. are stopped and changed at the center of the display unit 11. The fact that the disconnection is confirmed is notified.

  As a result, the player can usually hit the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C depending on whether or not the temporary variation is stopped with a combination of five decorative symbols 82A to 82E in the special performance putter. It is possible to determine whether or not the game is a big hit before the temporary change stop with the symbol or the stop change with the outreach reach symbol. Therefore, the five decorative symbols 82A-82E are “a, i, u, e, o”, “ma, mi, mu, me, mo”, “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko. ”Or“ Sa, Shi, Su, Se, So ”can be strongly attracted to whether or not it is in a complete state, and the preference for displaying the special performance pattern can be enhanced. .

  In addition, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are displayed in a small size on the upper left side of the display unit 11, and five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are displayed in the center of the display unit 11. The combined state of the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E and the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C can be confirmed at the same time, and the preference for displaying the special effect pattern can be enhanced.

  In addition, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C are finally stopped by the normal winning symbol, the probable jackpot symbol, or the outreach reach symbol, but the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E are Temporary fluctuation is stopped in the aligned state or the unaligned state. Thereby, the player can easily recognize that the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are finally notified in the stop mode after the combination of the five decorative symbols 82A to 82E is notified. The five decorative designs 82A-82E are “A, i, u, e, o”, “ma, mi, mu, me, mo”, “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko” or “sa ,,,,,, And ”can be enhanced with respect to whether or not it becomes a complete state.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, various improvement and deformation | transformation are possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following may be used.

[Other first embodiment]
(A) For example, in the above S505-8-11, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, 81C are, for example, the even number of the normal jackpot symbol “8, 8, 8” at the center of the display unit 11. You may make it alert | report that the 1st normal jackpot which the fluctuation | variation stop is carried out at a roundabout and the big winning opening 45 is opened 15 rounds (15 times) was given. In S505-8-18, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C are arranged in the center of the display unit 11, for example, an even symbol of the normal jackpot symbol “2, 2, 2”. It is also possible to notify that the second normal jackpot that gives the winning prize opening 45 opened 7 rounds (7 times) is given.

  As a result, the player starts the change of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, and after reaching the reach state, “a, i, u, e, o” or “ma, mi, mu, me With the five temporary decorative patterns 82A to 82E, the temporary winning stop 45 is opened 15 rounds (15 times) with a high probability of 100% of the first normal jackpot. It can be confirmed that it will be granted.

  In addition, after the player has started to change the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C and has reached the reach state, “ka, ki, k, ke, ko” or “sa, shi, shi, se, With the temporary variation stop in the combination of “So”, the first normal jackpot 45 that is opened 15 rounds (15 times) is given with a low probability of 17%, and the big prize opening 45 is 7 rounds (7 It can be confirmed that the second normal jackpot to be released is given with a probability of 83%.

  Therefore, the five decorative symbols 82A-82E are “a, i, u, e, o”, “ma, mi, mu, me, mo”, “ka, ki, kaku, ke, ko. ] Or “SA, SHI, SE, SE, SO” can be strongly attracted to whether or not they are in a combined state, and the preference for displaying the special performance pattern can be enhanced.

[Other Second Embodiment]
(B) Also, for example, in S505-8-11 above, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A, 81B, 81C are even symbols such as the normal jackpot symbol "8, 8, 8" at the center of the display unit 11. Fluctuation is stopped at the roundabout, it is informed that a normal jackpot has been awarded, and after the normal jackpot game is over, it will be in a probable state (high probability state) and a short time state until the next jackpot May be.
