Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. The thing with the shape of etc. can be mentioned. In this specification, “identification information” may be called a main game symbol / special symbol (special symbol) or a decorative symbol (design), but the “special symbol (special symbol)” is the main control board. The “decorative pattern (design)” is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-control board side. “Displaying identification information” is not limited to a display method. For example, light emission of a light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) (including not only whether light is emitted but also a color difference), physical Display (for example, a symbol drawn on a reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position). “Direction” refers to display content that enhances the fun of the game. For example, identification information fluctuates / stops, notices, etc., moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photos, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. “Open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = non-winning state Easy state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following condition, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Game state” means, for example, a transition to a special game state rather than a non-stochastic game state in which a lottery probability for transition to a special game state or a special game state in which a special winning opening can be in an open state is a predetermined value. A probabilistic variable gaming state with a high lottery probability, an auxiliary gaming state with assistance for winning at the starting port that becomes a lottery opportunity for special games (so-called normal symbol short-time state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting port In such a case, the variable member may be one or a combination of a plurality of combinations such as a long opening period of the variable member, a high probability of winning the opening of the variable member, and a short notification time of the result of the variable member opening lottery. “Estimated average execution time of easy-to-play games per unit time” is assumed to be a situation in which there is a constant change in the auxiliary game symbol (for example, there is always a hold related to the auxiliary game symbol). In this case, it means the ratio of the open period per unit time (for example, 5 minutes) of the variable member attached to the start port. In terms of internal processing, in other words, for example, When a variable member is attached to the start port, the length of the variable member opening period (so-called open extension function activated / non-actuated state), the normal symbol (auxiliary game symbol) that triggers the opening of the variable member is won Probability level (so-called ordinary figure high probability state / low probability state), normal symbol (auxiliary game symbol), which is the trigger for opening the variable member, the length of change time (so-called usual figure fluctuation reduction function) Operating condition-actuated state), is realized by any one or more combinations of the like. “Long open unit game” is a round in which a game ball is relatively easy to enter a big winning opening out of rounds executed with a big hit, and the game ball is launched toward the big winning opening. If it continues, it will be a round in which a plurality of game balls can enter the big prize opening. “Short-opening unit game” is a round in which a game ball is relatively difficult to enter into the big winning opening among rounds executed at the big hit, and the game ball is launched toward the big winning opening. Even if it continues, it will be a round in which no game ball enters the grand prize opening (even if it enters the ball, it is about 1 ball). “The first variation period state in which the average value of the variable information display period of the identification information is the first period, and the second period in which the average value of the variable information display period of the identification information is different from the first period. "At least having a variable period state" means not only the two states but also three or more states (or any two states in the case of having three or more states) For example, the state transition of “first variation period state” → “second variation period state” → “third variation period state” is made according to the number of times of display of the identification information. Including those that can be taken. In this case, when the average value of the variation display period of the identification information in each state is configured as “first variation period state” <“second variation period state” <“third variation period state”, It is possible to construct a state transition of high-speed game progress state → medium-speed game progress state → low-speed game progress state {Of course, the reverse state transition (game progress state) may be constructed, In that case, it becomes suitable when used in combination with the probability variation gaming state that continues until the next jackpot + the easy-to-open-chuo state (the next jackpot is not obtained despite the situation where the next jackpot occurrence is definite) As the situation continues, the speed of progress of the game increases, so there is a case where it is possible to dispel the feeling of fatigue during so-called humming. The “high probability transition availability effect” is an effect that informs or suggests whether or not it is planned to shift to the probability variation gaming state, and is a battle effect in this example. In addition, it is good also as an effect which alert | reports or suggests whether it transfers to a time shortening game state. “Expected value related to the number of prize balls given to a player” means that if a game ball continues to be fired toward a big prize opening during execution of a certain big hit, Number of game balls to be paid out by entering the game, or game balls to be paid out by entering the game ball into the prize winning port when the game ball is continuously launched toward the prize winning port during execution of a certain big hit The number of game balls obtained by subtracting the number of game balls fired during execution of the certain jackpot from the number. “Number of consecutive resorts” is the number of times that a special game is won in the probability variation gaming state, the time shortening gaming state, or the limited frequency state A, and is a non-probability variation gaming state and non-time shortening. When a special game is won in a game state and not in a limited frequency state, it is determined that there is no extended game and the number of extended games is reset.

  The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 complex machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is applicable to other game machines (for example, conventional 1st type, 2nd type, 3rd type, general pachinko game machines such as general electric roles). . Note that this embodiment is merely an example, the location and function of each means, the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to the following aspects. In addition, the above-described embodiments and modified examples should not be understood as being limited to being applied to specific items, and may be in any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification example of an embodiment is a modification example of another embodiment, and even if one modification example and another modification example are described independently, there is the modification example. It should be understood that a combination of the modified example and another modified example is also described. In the present embodiment, there are a lottery table and a reference table for various tables, but these are not limited, and the lottery table may be a reference table or vice versa. In addition, in this example, “table” is not limited to the format, and one or more selection candidates are selected from a plurality of selection candidates based on one or more information. It should be understood that this is an associated mode. Furthermore, numerical values (for example, winning probability at the time of lottery execution, maximum number of rounds at the time of special game, symbol variation time, number of continuations in each gaming state, etc.) as specific examples shown in the following embodiments and modifications are as follows: This is merely an example, and in particular, under different conditions (for example, according to the condition of the first main game side and the second main game side, by the condition of the probability variation game and the non-probability variation game, by the time shortening game and non- It is understood that the magnitude relations and combinations of the numerical values shown in the conditions for time-saving games, etc.) may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the following embodiments and modified examples. Should. For example, on the first main game side and the second main game side, the magnitude relationship between the winning probability at the time of the lottery execution and the expected value of the maximum number of rounds at the time of the special game is as follows: first main game side = second main game side Even if it is illustrated as such, the magnitude relationship may be changed as appropriate so that the first main game side <the second main game side, or the first main game side> the second main game side, etc. Good (same for other values and conditions). Also, for example, when configuring based on the intention that the probability variation gaming state will continue until the next jackpot occurs, whether to set “100,000” as the number of continuations (configure to continue substantially), Or, even in the options of the realization method based on the same purpose, such as maintaining the probability variation game state until the next jackpot occurs without setting the number of continuations, as long as it does not greatly deviate from the purpose of the following embodiments and modification examples Should be understood as appropriate.

  Here, configurations and concepts applicable to the pachinko game according to the present example are extracted (listed). However, the concepts listed below are merely examples, and the concepts based on the further configurations shown in the embodiments described later are added to these concepts as well as the combination and separation (upper level conceptualization) of these listed concepts. May be. Note that the time-reduced gaming state according to this example may be that the main game short time flag is on, or the auxiliary game short time flag may be on, that is, the time shortened gaming state. May indicate that the opening time extension function is activated, or the non-time-reduced gaming state may indicate that the opening time extension function is not activated. The time-reduced gaming state may be referred to as a specific gaming state, and the non-time-reducing gaming state may be referred to as a normal gaming state. Further, the probability variation gaming state may be referred to as a high probability lottery state, and the non-probability variation gaming state may be referred to as a low probability lottery state.

  (1) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is a non-probability variable big hit on the first main game side in a non-stochastic variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state (a big hit that shifts to a non-stochastic variable gaming state after the big hit, In this example, when 2A, 4A, 6A, 2B) is won, after the non-probability big hit, the non-time shortened gaming state (non-probability variation gaming state and non-time shortened gaming state) Also good.

  (2) The pachinko gaming machine according to this example is a promising big hit on the first main game side in a non-stochastic variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state (a big hit that shifts to a probability variable gaming state after the big hit ends, Then, in the case of winning 1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 9A, 3B, 5B, 7B), the rate of transition to the time-reduced gaming state after the end of the probable big hit is the number of rounds with a lot of balls per probable big hit (large You may comprise so that it may become so high that there are many prize-winning openings.

  (3) In the pachinko gaming machine according to this example, if the big win on the first main game side with the maximum number of rounds (15R in this example) is won, the time-saving game will be played after the big win ends. You may comprise so that it may be in a state.

  (4) In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example, the number of time reductions in the time-saving gaming state after the end of the big hit is a predetermined number (for example, 100 times) or the short time up to the next big hit (substantially winning the next big hit For example, the time-shortage counter MP52c may be set to 100000 times, or the time-shortage counter MP52c may be set to infinite times). In addition, the number of time reductions when shifting to the time-reduced gaming state after the end of non-probable big hit may be configured to be only a predetermined number (for example, 100 times) (not 100000 times).

  (5) After the jackpot on the second main game side, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example shifts to the time-reduced game state regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit, while after the jackpot on the first main game side May be configured so that whether or not to shift to the time-saving game state differs depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit. Specifically, in this example, when “1A” is won in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the special game is the probability variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state. On the other hand, when “1A” is won in the non-stochastic game state and the time-reduced game state, the game state after the end of the special game becomes the probability-change game state and the time-reduced game state.

  (6) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is placed in a probability-variable gaming state and a time-reduced gaming state after the jackpot is over in the case of winning the jackpot on the first main game side in the probability-variable gaming state and the non-time-shortening gaming state. It may be configured such that there is a jackpot that makes a transition and a jackpot that makes a transition to a probability-variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state after the jackpot ends. Specifically, in this example, when “1A” is won in the probability variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, the gaming state after the special game ends is the probability variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state. On the other hand, when “3A” is won in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the special game becomes the probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state.

  (7) In the pachinko gaming machine according to this example, when the big hit on the first main game side and the big hit on the second main game side are compared, the average number of actual rounds is the same, but the winning prize in the big win The average value of the number of balls may be configured such that the big hit on the first main game side is higher than the big hit on the second main game side. Specifically, in this example, the average value of the actual round on the first main game side is “(5 × 114 + 10 × 36 + 15 × 200 + 5 × 48 + 5 × 48 + 10 × 17 + 10 × 17 + 15 × 520) ÷ 1000 = 12.55” The average value of the actual round on the second main game side is “(9 × 350 + 8 × 20 + 8 × 30 + 15 × 600) ÷ 1000 = 12.55”, and the average value of the actual rounds is the same. ing. In addition, the average value of the number of winning balls in the jackpot is the average value of the winning balls in the jackpot on the first main game side is “(630 × 114 + 630 × 36 + 1010 × 200 + 630 × 48 + 630 × 48 + 630 × 17 + 630 × 17 + 1890 × 520)” ÷ 1000 = 1361.2 ”, and the average value of the number of winning balls in the big hit on the second main game side is“ (500 × 350 + 500 × 20 + 1010 × 30 + 1890 × 600) ÷ 1000 = 1349.3 In addition, the average value of the number of winning award balls in the big hit is larger on the first main game side than on the second main game side.

  (8) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is configured so that there is a jackpot having the same number of rounds with a ball, but a different number of actual rounds, in the non-probable big jackpot and the probable big jackpot on the second main game side. May be. Specifically, in this example, the big hit relating to “2B” is the round “4R” with actual appearance and the actual round “9R”, and the big hit relating to “3B” is the round “4R” having actual appearance and the actual round It is “8R”.

  (9) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example may be configured such that the number of types of actual rounds is greater than the number of types of rounds with a game. Specifically, in this example, the number of types of actual rounds is “5R, 8R, 9R, 10R, 15R”, and the number of types of rounds with a ball is “4R, 5R, 8R, 15R ”, and the number of types of actual rounds is larger.

  (10) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example may be configured such that the number of types of actual rounds is larger than the number of types of short-time times that can be awarded after the big hit. Specifically, in this example, the number of types of actual rounds is “5R, 8R, 9R, 10R, 15R”, and the number of time reductions that can be given after the big hit ends is “100”. And “100,000 times”. In addition, when comparing the number of types with rounds and the number of types of short times that can be given after the end of the big hit, the number of types with rounds is “4R, 5R, 8R, 15R”. There are two types of time reductions that can be granted after the jackpot ends, “100 times” and “100,000 times”. There are more types.

  (11) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is configured such that the ratio of big hits in which the actual number of rounds differs from the number of rounds with balls is higher on the second main game side than on the first main game side. May be. Specifically, in this example, the jackpot where the actual number of rounds on the first main game side differs from the number of rounds with balls is “4A, 6A, 5A, 9A”, and the selection ratio is “ (36 + 200 + 17 + 17) ÷ 1000 = 270/1000 ”, and the jackpot where the actual number of rounds in the second main game side differs from the number of rounds with balls is“ 2B, 3B ”, and the selection ratio is “(350 + 20) ÷ 1000 = 370/1000”, and the ratio of big hits where the actual number of rounds differs from the number of rounds with balls is higher for the second main game than for the first main game Configured to be high.

  (12) The pachinko gaming machine according to this example is configured such that the maximum value of the difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with balls is larger on the second main game side than on the first main game side. May be. In this example, the big hit with the largest difference between the actual number of rounds on the first main game side and the number of rounds with balls is “6A”, which is “15−8 = 7”. In addition, the jackpot with the largest difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball on the second main game side is “2B” and “9-4 = 5”. The maximum difference in the number of rounds is configured so that the big hit on the first main game side is larger than the big hit on the second main game side, but is not limited to this, for example, the first main game side The difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball is “4”, the difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball at the second main game is “6”, The maximum difference in the number of rounds with balls may be configured so that the big hit on the second main game side is larger than the big hit on the first main game side.

  (13) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is configured to shift to the limited frequency state A after the non-probability variable big hit on the first main game side won in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state. May be. Specifically, in this example, when “2A”, which is a non-probability variable big hit in a non-stochastic variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state, is won, the non-probability is not reached after the jackpot relating to the “2A” is over. The game moves to the variable game state and the non-time-reduced game state, and to the limited frequency state A (the limited frequency state A stays for a period of 30 symbol variations). In addition, when winning in the non-stochastic game state and non-time shortening game state such as “1A”, the transition to the limited frequency state A will be made after the end of the big hit to shift to the probability variable game state and non-time reduction game state. Instead, it is configured to shift to the limited frequency state B.

  (14) When the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example shifts to the time-reduced gaming state after the big hit, when the symbol variation for the number of time reductions ends and shifts to the non-time-reduced gaming state, You may comprise so that it may become the limited frequency state A until the symbol fluctuation | variation of predetermined times (for example, 30 times) is complete | finished. Specifically, in this example, when “2B” is won in the probability variation gaming state and the time reduction gaming state, the non-probability variation gaming state and the time reduction gaming state after the jackpot relating to the “2B” is completed. When 100 symbol variations, which is the number of time reductions, are completed, the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state are entered, and the limited frequency state A is entered (limited frequency). State A will stay for 30 symbol variations).

  (15) When the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example wins a big hit in the non-probability variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, and transitions to the probability-variable gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state after the big hit, The limited frequency state B may be configured. Specifically, in this example, “1A” is won in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, and after the jackpot relating to the “1A” ends, the probability-variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state And a transition to the limited frequency state B.

  (16) In the pachinko gaming machine according to this example, the period in which the pachinko gaming machine can stay in the limited frequency state A (for example, 30 symbol variations) is longer than the period in which the pachinko gaming machine can stay in the limited frequency state B (for example, 10 symbol variations). Also, it may be configured to be long. Specifically, in this example, when “2A” is won in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, the period of 30 symbol variations after the end of the jackpot relating to the “2A” If you move to the limited frequency state A where you will be staying and win “1A” in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced game state, you will receive 10 symbols after the jackpot related to “1A” It is comprised so that it may transfer to the limited frequency state B which will stay during the fluctuation | variation period.

  (17) When the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example shifts to the time-reduced gaming state after the big hit, the predetermined number of times is reached when the symbol variation for the shortest number of times ends and the state shifts to the non-time-reduced gaming state. The limited frequency state A is maintained until the symbol variation (for example, 30 times) is completed. Moreover, when a big hit is won in the limited frequency state A, it may be regarded as a big hit in the ream. Specifically, in this example, it is configured to add 1 to the consecutive game count counter value in the case of winning a big hit in the time-saving gaming state and in the case of winning a big hit in the limited frequency state A. The consecutive game count counter value reaches a predetermined value (10 in this example), and the big hit being executed is the big hit with the maximum number of rounds (the number of rounds with balls is the largest, and in this example When the number of rounds with a ball is “15R” (7A · 7B)), the effect during the big hit is configured as a special big hit effect.

  (18) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example acquires a game ball in the non-probable big hit on the first main game side, and the acquired game ball in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state after the big hit is over. When the game is progressed at, the expected value of the number of symbol fluctuations that can be executed with the acquired game ball may be larger than the number of symbol fluctuations that can stay in the limited frequency state A. Specifically, in this example, in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, when winning the “6A” which is a jackpot symbol that will shift to the limited frequency state A after the jackpot ends, The number of game balls that can be acquired by jackpot related to “6A” is “630 balls (average value)”, and can be executed with 100 game balls in a non-stochastic game state and a non-time-reduced game state. Since the number of fluctuations is “7 times”, the number of symbol fluctuations that can be executed with the game ball that can be acquired with the jackpot related to “6A” is “630 ÷ 100 × 7 = 44.1”. Since the maximum period during which the user can stay in the limited frequency state A is 30 times of symbol variation, the symbol variation is executed until the limited frequency state A ends with the game ball acquired by the big hit relating to “6A”. It is configured to be able to.

  (19) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is able to stay in the limited frequency state A (for example, 30 times) more than the shortest number of times (for example, 100 times) among the shortest times given after the end of the big hit. ) May be less. Specifically, in this example, there are “100 times” and “100,000 times” as the number of time reductions that can be given after the big hit, and the smallest number of time reductions is “100”. In addition, since the maximum period during which the user can stay in the limited frequency state A is the symbol variation “30 times”, the user can stay in the limited frequency state A more than the shortest number of time reductions given after the big hit. It is configured so that the number of symbol fluctuations is smaller.

  (20) In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example, in the big hit on the first main game side, the left row, the middle row, the right row have the same decorative symbols (designed big hit), the left row, the middle row, You may comprise so that the big symbol (special symbol big hit) in which the decorative symbol of a right column does not become the same, and a special symbol stops may exist. Specifically, in this example, when winning “1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 9A” as a big hit on the first main game side, the decorative symbol of the decorative symbol at the time of winning is special When the symbol “6A / 7A” is won, the decorative symbols at the time of the winning are arranged so that the symbols are aligned.

  (21) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example may be configured such that, on the first main game side, the rate of shifting to the probability varying gaming state after the big hit ends is higher for the symbol matching big hit than for the special symbol big hit. Specifically, in this example, when winning “1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 9A” as a big hit on the first main game side, the decorative symbol of the decorative symbol at the time of winning is special The ratio of “1A, 3A, 5A, 9A”, which is a probable big hit, is “46.43%”. If “6A, 7A” is won, the decoration design at the time of winning will be The stop symbols are aligned, and the ratio of “7A”, which is a probable big hit, is configured to be “72.22%” (details will be described later in FIG. 32).

  (22) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example may be configured such that the symbol matching big hit has a higher expected value for winning the winning ball than the special symbol big hit. Specifically, in this example, when winning “1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 9A” as a big hit on the first main game side, the decorative symbol of the decorative symbol at the time of winning is special The average value for winning the winning ball at the jackpot is “630 balls”. When winning “6A / 7A”, the decorative symbols at the time of winning the winning symbols will be the same as the winning symbol. The average value of the expected winning ball winning values is configured to be “1645 balls” (details will be described later with reference to FIG. 32).

  (23) In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example, in the big hit on the first main game side won in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, the game is shifted to the probability varying gaming state after the big hit ends due to the big hit effect. On the other hand, in the jackpot on the first main game side won in the probability variation gaming state (or time reduction gaming state), the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot ends due to the effect of the symbol variation relating to the jackpot You may comprise so that it may alert | report whether it transfers to. Specifically, in this example, in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced game state, the winning combination “6A / 7A”, which is a big hit that will be the first main game side of the symbols (decoration symbol of the decorative symbol) is won. In such a case, a battle effect (winning battle effect, losing battle effect) is executed as a big hit effect related to “6A / 7A”, and the gaming state after the big hit is notified. In addition, in the probability variation gaming state (time shortening gaming state), if the winning of “2B, 3B, 5B, 7B” which is a big hit on the second main game side is won, the symbol variation related to “2B, 3B, 5B, 7B” A battle effect (winning battle effect, losing battle effect) is executed as a medium effect, and the game state after the end of the big hit is notified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case of the big hit on the second main game side won in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, whether or not to shift to the probability variable gaming state after the big hit ends due to the big hit effect You may comprise so that it may alert | report. That is, when a big win is won in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, whether the big hit is a big hit on the first main game side or a big hit on the second main game side, You may comprise so that it may alert | report whether it transfers to a probability change game state after the end of jackpot by the inside effect.

  (24) In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example, when the jackpot is won in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, the probability varying game after the jackpot ends at the timing after the round indicator light is turned on. In the case of winning the jackpot in the probability variation gaming state while notifying whether or not to shift to the state, whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot ends at the timing before the round indicator light lights You may comprise so that it may alert | report. Specifically, in this example, when the jackpot symbol is stopped, the round indicator lamp D60 is configured to light based on the actual number of jackpots related to the jackpot symbol. In the time-saving gaming state, when winning the winning combination “6A / 7A” that will be the first main game side symbol set (decoration of decorative symbols), the round indicator light D60 will be the jackpot related to “6A / 7A” After performing lighting based on the actual number of rounds, a battle effect (winning battle effect, losing battle effect) is executed as a big hit effect related to “6A / 7A”, and the gaming state after the big hit ends is notified doing. Also, if you win the 2B, 3B, 5B, 7B, which is a big hit on the second main game side in the probability variation gaming state (time shortened gaming state), the symbol variation related to 2B, 3B, 5B, 7B is in progress After performing a battle effect (winning battle effect, losing battle effect) as an effect of the game and informing the gaming state after the end of the jackpot, the round indicator light D60 is the actual number of big hits related to “2B / 3B / 5B / 7B” It is configured to execute lighting based on.

  (25) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example has a plurality of big rounds of the same number of rounds that are the same for the probabilistic big hit and the non-probable big hit for the first main game side big hit, while the big hit on the second main game side May be configured not to have a big hit of the actual number of rounds that is the same for the probabilistic big hit and the non-probable big hit. Specifically, in this example, as a combination of jackpot symbols that have the same number of rounds in the first major game side, the same number of probabilistic jackpots and non-probable bonus jackpots, “2A” and “1A · The actual number of rounds with “3A” is “5R”, the actual number of rounds with “4A” and “5A / 9A” is “10R”, and the actual number of rounds with “6A” and “7A” The number is “15R”. By configuring in this way, even if the lighting state of the round indicator lamp D60 is visually confirmed, it is possible to determine which jackpot has been won (whether it has been won for a probable big hit or won for a non-probable big jackpot). The player can pay attention to the result of the battle effect during the big hit (the effect of notifying whether or not the game goes into the probability-changing game state after the big hit). Further, the non-probable variable big hit on the second main game side is only “2B” with the actual round number being “9R”, and there is no big win symbol with the actual round number being “9R” in the probable big hit symbol. Although configured in this way, in the present embodiment, in the probability variation gaming state, the battle effect (the effect of notifying whether or not the probability variation gaming state is reached after the jackpot is ended) is changing the symbol related to the jackpot symbol. Since the result of the battle effect is notified at a timing before the round indicator lamp D60 is lit, it can be configured so as not to impair the fun of the game.

  (26) In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example, the limited frequency state B continues for a predetermined period (for example, 10 fluctuations), and the stay stage becomes the “probable variation stage” during the period of the limited frequency state B. Further, in the limited frequency state B, it may be configured such that the variation time of the symbol variation that causes a loss is only a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Specifically, in this example, if “1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 9A” is won in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, after the jackpot related to the jackpot symbol is over, The stay stage becomes the “probability variation stage” and shifts to the limited frequency state B (the limited frequency state B stays for a period of 10 symbol variations). The “probability variation stage” is configured to be able to stay both in the probability variation game state and in the non-probability variation game state, and the final variation (the 10th variation in the “probability variation stage”). ) To notify the current gaming state. In other words, when “2A / 4A” is won in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, the current gaming state becomes the non-stochastic variation gaming state and non-time in the final variation in the “probability variation stage”. If you are informed that you are in a shortened gaming state and you win “1A, 3A, 5A, 9A” in a non-stochastic variation gaming state and a non-time shortening gaming state, Is informed that the gaming state is a probability-variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state. Note that the timing for notifying the current gaming state is not limited to the final variation in the “probability variation stage”, but is notified during the “probability variation stage” (for example, the fifth variation) or at the start of the “probability variation stage”. (When the notification is made at the start, it is preferable that the current gaming state is executable only when the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state).

  (27) In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example, the current gaming state is notified when the limited frequency state B ends (or until it ends). Further, the scenario production (scenario production for 10 fluctuations) in the “probability variation stage” may be determined at the timing of transition to the limited frequency state B (timing of transition to the “probability variation stage”). Specifically, in this example, when “2A / 4A” is won in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, the current gaming state is determined by the final variation in the “probability variation stage”. If the player is informed of the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state and wins “1A, 3A, 5A, 9A” in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, It is configured to notify that the current gaming state is a probability varying gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state at the final variation in the “stage”. Further, in this example, the scenario production (scenario production for 10 fluctuations) in the “probability variation stage” is determined at the timing of transition to the limited frequency state B (timing of transition to the “probability variation stage”). It is configured to determine the effect during symbol variation for 10 variations and the effect during symbol stop at that timing, and to execute a moving image that constitutes a series of stories across multiple variations. Yes. In this example, even if there is no hold during execution of the scenario effect and the symbol is stopped, the same as during symbol variation so as not to interrupt the moving images that make up a series of stories. The production (linked production) is executed.

  (28) The pachinko gaming machine according to the present example is an effect that, when the stay stage is a “probability variation stage”, inquires whether or not the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state while the symbol is stopped. It may be configured to execute a probable variation effect during the stop (execute an effect that makes it appear as if the scenario effect is progressing even when the symbol is stopped). Specifically, in this example, at the timing of the transition to the “probability variation stage”, the effect during the symbol variation for 10 variations and the effect during the symbol stop are determined, and a series of stories is formed across multiple variations. In order to prevent interruptions in the moving images that make up a series of stories even when there is no hold during the execution of the scenario production and the symbols are stopped It is configured to execute an effect that makes it appear as if the effect is progressing (a certain change effect during stoppage). More specifically, during the symbol change during the scenario production, the hero attacks the boss character to reduce the boss character's life (when the boss character's life reaches 0, the current gaming state is a probability) It is deterministic that it is a floating game state). In addition, while the symbol is stopped, it is suggested that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state in the current “probability variation stage” (final variation) as a certain variation variation effect during suspension. It may be configured to execute an effect (for example, the indication of “super superiority !!” suggests that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state and the expectation level is high).

  (29) When the pachinko gaming machine according to the present example notifies that the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state at the “probability variation stage”, the “special day stage” after the “probability variation stage” ends. "(Stage stage where the background effect is the same as" Daytime stage "). In such a case, a probability change notification display for notifying that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state is displayed. Note that the probability change notification display may not be displayed when the non-stochastic game state and the stay stage are “daytime stage”. Specifically, in this example, when it is notified that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state at the final variation of the “probability variation stage”, the “probability variation stage” ends after the notification. Then, it will shift to the “special day stage”. The “special day stage” and the “day stage” have almost the same effects as the background effect, and the difference from the “day stage” is the presence or absence of the probability change notification display, that is, the “probability change stage”. In the “special day stage”, it is a display that always notifies that the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state. It is configured to display a probability change notification display. By configuring in this way, the player is mistakenly in the normal stage (non-probability variation gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state), so that the player mistakenly (the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state) It is possible to prevent a situation in which the user leaves the seat without knowing that the game machine is more user-friendly. In the present embodiment, the difference between the “daytime stage” and the “special daytime stage” is configured to indicate whether or not the probability change notification display is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sound from the speaker D24 is displayed. (Sound type, volume, etc.), lighting state of the game effect lamp D26, lighting mode of a lamp (not shown) installed on the game board or gaming machine frame, etc. Plural types of presence / absence, sound from the speaker D24, lighting state of the game effect lamp D26, and lighting state of a lamp (not shown) installed on the game board or the gaming machine frame may be different. .

That is, the first main game symbol display device A20, the second main game symbol display device B20, and the auxiliary game symbol display device H20 are controlled by the main control board M, and the effect display means (sub-sub control unit) SS is sub-game control. Meaning that it is controlled by means (sub-main control unit) SM. Note that another peripheral device may be controlled via the main control board M and another peripheral device controlled by one-way communication (one-way communication).

  Next, FIG. 4 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after the game machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), the CPUMC of the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button and resets the power supply unit E reset button ( It is determined whether or not the RAM clear button has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of clearing the contents of the RAM has been intentionally performed by a game hall manager or the like. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (at this timing). Alternatively, a command may be set at this timing and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the CPUMC of the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, stored in the checksum and RAM area recorded at the time of power interruption) Compared to the amount of information available). Next, in step 1010, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power failure is not backed up in the RAM). To do. If YES in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up in the RAM in step 1010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the CPUMC of the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM in the main control board M in step 1012. In step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and will be described later. The control command transmission process may be used for transmission), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the CPUMC of the main control board M triggers a scheduled interrupt (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt cycle is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, (b) in FIG. 11 is executed), the processing in step 1018 is performed. Transition. After step 1018, the CPUMC of the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The CPUMC of the main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. . Next, in step 1200, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1600, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game operating condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1700, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1997, the CPUMC of the main control board M (especially the prize ball payout determining means MH) performs a prize ball payout control process (drive control of the prize ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. The winning ball payout control board KH is executed, and processing for managing the result is executed. Next, in step 1998, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes external signal output processing (output of information to the external terminal board, the hall computer H, etc.). Next, in step 1999, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit SM side), and immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being executed.

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

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a game ball has entered the auxiliary game start port H <b> 10 (inflow, in the case of a gate). In the case of Yes in Step 1102, in Step 1104, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the hold ball in the form of temporarily storing the random number in the RAM area of the main control board M, together with information on what number is held. The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the next process (process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the electric-powered object releasing flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 1202, in Step 1204, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (the flag state of the auxiliary gaming short time flag) and the acquired auxiliary gaming side gaming state and The main control board is determined by determining the stop symbol based on the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the holding ball (for example, when the auxiliary game short flag is on, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than when it is off). Temporarily store in M RAM area.

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the table, in this example, the stop symbol is “D0, D1” and the stop symbol that is the winning symbol is “D1”, which is released due to each stop. In the non-time-reduced game, when the symbol that is stopped is “D1”, the open mode is (open for 0.2 seconds → closed). In the time-saving game, when the stopped symbol is “D1”, the release mode is (0.2 second open → 0.2 second closed → 0.2 second open → 3.0 second closed → 4. 0 seconds open → closed). It should be noted that the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol “D0” during non-time-reduced games, and the stop symbol is likely to be a winning symbol “D1” during time-reduced games.

  Next, in step 1218, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the auxiliary game symbol change time to the auxiliary game symbol change management timer MP11t-C based on the auxiliary game side game state (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 1 second when the auxiliary game short time flag is on and 10 seconds when the auxiliary game short time flag is off) is set. In step 1220, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the hold information temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, and the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer. After starting MP11t-H, the auxiliary game symbol display on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g is started.

  Next, in step 1224, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol and confirms and displays the acquired stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g. To do. In step 1228, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1230, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “winning” (D1 · D2 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the CPUMC of the main control board M is based on the game state on the auxiliary game side, and in the release mode (in the non-time-reduced game, the release mode is “0.2 second open → closed. In the time-saving game, the release mode is “0.2 second open → 0.2 second closed → 0.2 second open → 3.0 second closed → 4.0 second open → closed”) And a predetermined time relating to the opening time (opening / closing time) of the electric accessory is set. Next, in step 1234, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the electric agent releasing flag. In step 1236, the CPUMC of the main control board M opens the second main game electric accessory B11d in the second main game start port B10. Next, in step 1238, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game short time flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240 and step 1242, the CPUMC of the main control board M closes the second main game electric accessory B11d of the second main game start port B10 and sets the electric accessory release flag. Turn off and proceed to the next process (process of step 1300).

  If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1238. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230, or step 1238, the next process is performed. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

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

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game start port entrance information has been received from the first main game start port entrance detection device A11s of the first main game start port A10. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the first main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, the winning lottery random number for determining the success / failure, the symbol lottery random number for determining the winning symbol, and the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired random number in the RAM area of the main control board M. Next, in step 1310, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information indicating that the first main game random number has been acquired (pending occurrence command) to the sub-main control unit SM. Set (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999).

  Next, in step 1312, whether or not the CPUMC of the main control board M has received the second main game start port entrance information from the second main game start port entrance detection device B11s of the second main game start port B10. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the first main game content determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number on the first main game side and the acquisition range of each random number on the second main game side (for example, the acquisition range of the random determination random number for the first main game and the acquisition lot random number for the second main game) Are set to the same. Next, in step 1318, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired random number in the RAM area. Next, in step 1320, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information indicating that the second main game random number has been acquired (pending occurrence command) to the sub-main control unit SM. Set (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and proceed to the next process (process in step 1400). In the case of No in Step 1302 and Step 1304, the process proceeds to Step 1312. In the case of No in Step 1312 and Step 1314, the process proceeds to the next process (Process of Step 1400).

  In this embodiment, information indicating that a random number has been acquired is transmitted as information to be transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in Step 1310 and Step 1320. However, the information on the random number value and the main game symbol are transmitted. The number of reservations may be attached and transmitted, and the information indicating that a random number has been acquired can be substituted by these pieces of information.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the CPUMC of the main control board M confirms whether there is no second main game symbol hold. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and the next process {the process of steps 1400 (1) and (2). }. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the second main game symbol display process described later, and the next process {steps 1400 (1), (2). The process proceeds to.

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

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game is not being played (or the condition device is being operated), the main game symbol is not changing, and there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is fixedly displayed), during the variable fixed time, the fluctuation start condition for the next variable You may comprise so that it may not satisfy | fill.

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, the CPUMC of the main control board M is temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M in step 1405 and step 1406. The second main game content determination random number) is read, the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) is deleted, and the remaining information temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M is stored. Shift (hold digestion process). Next, in step 1408, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game symbol determination lottery based on a first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, a winning lottery random number).

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table (second main game success / failure lottery table). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability variation gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-probability variation gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the small hit is not provided, it is not limited to this, You may comprise so that a small hit may be provided in the 1st main game side and / or the 2nd main game side.

  Next, in step 1410, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the main game based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number). Stop symbols related to the symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the RAM area.

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table (second main game symbol determination lottery table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 9A” and “ 2B, 3B, 5B, 7B "), one main game symbol is determined as a jackpot symbol. Moreover, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that the number of actual rounds and the number of rounds with a lottery to be performed may differ with the jackpot symbol used as a trigger of jackpot. Here, the actual number of rounds is a big hit regardless of whether there are winning prizes or the opening of the big prize opening (whether the big winning opening is a round with a long opening or a short opening). This is the total number of rounds to be executed. The number of rounds with a ball is the number of game balls that are entered into the big prize opening (the first big prize opening C10 or the second big prize opening C20) during the round-winning round. It is a round that can be easily balled (for example, a round in which “30 seconds open → close”). More specifically, when the opening of the big prize opening in the round is “30 seconds open → closed”, it becomes the big prize opening (the first big prize opening C10 or the second big prize opening C20) in the round. If the game ball is easy to enter (easy to enter multiple balls) and the opening in the round is “0.1 second open → closed”, then the big winning opening (the first big winning opening C10) Alternatively, when the game ball is difficult to enter the second grand prize opening C20) (it is difficult to enter one ball), the opening mode of the first R is “30 seconds open → closed” for a certain big hit. When the second R opening mode is “30 seconds open → closed”, the third R open mode is “0.1 second open → closed”, and the 4R open mode is “30 seconds open → closed”. The actual number of rounds is 4 (1R, 2R, 3R, 4R) Ri number of rounds is three rounds (first 1R, the 2R, second 4R). In addition, in the big hit on the first main game side, the big hit symbol (also called the probable big hit symbol, also known as probable big hit) that shifts to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit is “1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 9A” A jackpot symbol (also referred to as a non-probability variable jackpot symbol or a non-probability variable jackpot) that shifts to the non-probability variation gaming state after the end is “2A · 4A · 6A”. In addition, in the big hit on the second main game side, the big hit symbol (also called probable big hit symbol, also known as the probable big hit symbol) that shifts to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit is “3B / 5B / 7B”, and the non-probability after the big hit ends The jackpot symbol (also referred to as non-probability variable big hit symbol or non-probable variable big hit) that shifts to the floating gaming state is “2B”.

  In addition, “Time savings per game state at the time of winning the big hit” shown in the lower right of the figure is a combination of the game state at the time of winning the big win and the stop symbol (big hit symbol) to shorten the time after the big hit Whether to shift to the gaming state (whether or not the number of times is given) and the number of times and hours that are given are shown. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the number of time reductions that can be given after the end of the big hit is two types, “100 times” and “100000 times”. In addition, in the figure, “non-probability variable non-short time” is a non-probability variation gaming state and non-time shortening gaming state, and “non-probability variation short time” is a non-probability variation gaming state and time shortening gaming state. “Is a probability variation gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state, and“ probability variation time short ”is a probability variation gaming state and a time-reduced gaming state.

In the present embodiment, the characteristics of the number of times and the number of rounds and the number of rounds (the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with balls) for each jackpot symbol are configured as follows.
(1) In the case of winning the non-probable big hit (2A, 4A, 6A) on the first main game side in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state ("Non-Probable Variation Non-Time Short" shown in the figure) The gaming state after the big hit ends shifts to a non-time-reduced gaming state (the number of time reductions given after the big hit ends is zero).
(2) In the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state ("Non-Probability Variation Non-Time Reduction" shown in the figure), the winning probabilities (1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 9A) on the first main game side were won. In this case, a big hit with a large number of actual rounds is likely to have a greater number of time reductions (a value set in the time reduction number counter MP52c after the big hit is finished) than a big hit with a smaller actual number of rounds. The number of time savings given after the jackpot for “1A · 3A” with the number “5R” is “0”, and the number of times saved after the jackpot for “5A · 9A” with the actual round number “10R”. Is “0 times”, the number of time reductions related to “7A” with the actual number of rounds “15R” is “100,000 times”, and the number of time reductions after the jackpot related to “7A” with the largest number of actual rounds is the highest “100,000 times” That. In this example, the number of time reductions after the jackpot for “7A” is configured to be “100000 times”, but the jackpot probability in this example is “3/1000 to 25/1000” (non-probability fluctuation) Game state jackpot probability and probability variation gaming state jackpot probability), after the jackpot relating to “7A”, from “100,000 times” the symbol variation ends (time shortened gaming state ends) Winning the jackpot is virtually deterministic (because even if the non-stochastic game state with the lowest jackpot probability is won, the player wins the jackpot once for about 300 symbol variations). In addition, when the number of time reductions after the jackpot illustrated in the present example is “100,000 times”, such as after the jackpot relating to “7A”, the time reduction number of “100,000 times” elapses (time-saving gaming state) The idea is that the winning of the jackpot will be substantially deterministic by the end of the ( If the time-saving gaming state is configured to continue from the later to the next jackpot winning, there is no problem even if the number of times shortened after the jackpot ends is changed (for example, 65536 times). Further, after the big hit, the time-saving game state may be continued from the end of the big hit until the next big win by setting the infinite number of times in the time-count counter MP52c.
(3) In the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state ("Non-Probability Variation Non-Time Reduction" shown in the figure), the first major game side probability variation big hit (1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 9A) was won Comparing the cases, the number of rounds with a lot of balls is more likely to occur after a big hit than a big hit with a large number of rounds with a big hit. The number of working hours for “1A, 3A, 5A, 9A”, which is “5R” is “0 times”, and the number of working hours for “7A”, where the number of rounds with a ball is “15R”, is “100,000 times”. The shortest number of “7A” with the largest number of rounds in the game is won in the probable big hit (1A ・ 3A ・ 5A ・ 7A ・ 9A) on the first main game side in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced game state As the number of time reductions after the big hit, Is "100000".
(4) After the big hit for “7A”, where the actual number of rounds is the largest among the big wins on the first main game side, transitions to the time-reduced gaming state regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big win (the number of times reduced) )
(5) After the big hit for “7A” in which the number of rounds with a ball is the largest among the big wins on the first main game side, the game shifts to the time-reduced gaming state regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit (the number of times reduced Is granted).
(6) The number of times that can be awarded after the end of the jackpot (the number of times that can be granted when transitioning to the time-saving gaming state after the end of the jackpot) is “100 times” or the number of times that continues until the next jackpot is won. It is one of two types of “100,000 times”, and the number of time reductions given after the end of the non-probable big hit (the number of time reductions that can be given when shifting to the time-saving gaming state after the big hit ends) is only 100 times. (100,000 times are not selected).
(7) After the big hit on the second main game side is completed, the number of times is given regardless of the gaming state won for the big hit (the state shifts to the time-saving gaming state and one or more times are given). On the other hand, after the end of the big hit on the first main game side, whether or not the number of times is given (transition to the time-saving game state) is different depending on the game state won in the big win (depending on the game state won in the big win, May not enter the time-saving gaming state after the jackpot ends).
(8) The first main player who wins the big win on the first main game side in the non-stochastic variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, and shifts to the probability-variable gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state after the big hit ends. There are 4 types of “1A, 3A, 5A, and 9A” as the big hits on the game side, but “1A, 3A, 5A, and 9A” are won in the probability-variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state. In this case, the gaming state after the big hit ends after the big hit relating to “1A · 3A” remains in the probability-variable gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state (also referred to as a latent loop) and becomes “5A · 9A”. After the big hit, the game shifts to a probability-variable gaming state and a time-saving gaming state (also referred to as initial latent).
(9) The average value of the number of actual rounds executed at the jackpot on the first main game side is “(5 × 48 + 5 × 114 + 5 × 48 + 10 × 36 + 10 × 17 + 15 × 200 + 15 × 520 + 10 × 17) ÷ 1000 = 12.55” The average number of rounds executed in the big hit on the second main game side is “(9 × 350 + 8 × 20 + 8 × 30 + 15 × 600) ÷ 1000 = 12.55” The average number of actual rounds is the same for the big hit on the first main game side and the big hit on the second main game side. On the other hand, the average value of the number of rounds in which the first main game side is played is the (5 × 48 + 5 × 114 + 5 × 48 + 5 × 36 + 5 × 17 + 8 × 200 + 15 × 520 + 5 × 17) ÷ 1000 = 1.80 ” The average value of the number of rounds with a game executed at the jackpot on the second main game side is “(4 × 350 + 4 × 20 + 8 × 30 + 15 × 600) ÷ 1000 = 10.72.” The average value on the first main game side is larger than the average value on the second main game side. Although not shown in the present embodiment, the number of prize balls in the first grand prize opening C10 and the second big prize opening C20 is the same (for example, 15 balls). The average value of the number of winning balls in the jackpot> the average value of the number of winning balls in the jackpot on the second main game side> and the “expected value of the number of game balls won in the jackpot on the first main game side> the second main game The expected value of the number of game balls acquired in the big jackpot on the side. In addition, it is not limited to the structure of this example, The number of prize balls of the 1st big prize opening C10 and the 2nd big prize opening C20 is made different, and / or the 1st big prize opening C10 and the 2nd big prize opening. The opening mode in the round with a ball with C20 is different from each other so that “the average value of the number of winning balls in the big win on the first main game side> the average value of the number of winning balls in the big win on the second main game side” and The configuration may be such that “the expected value of the number of acquired game balls in the jackpot on the first main game side> the expected value of the number of game balls in the jackpot on the second main game side”.
(10) In the jackpot on the second main game side, there are jackpots with the same number of rounds with balls but different actual round numbers. Specifically, in the jackpot related to “2B”, the actual number of rounds is “9R”, the number of rounds with a ball is “4R”, and in the jackpot related to “3B”, the number of actual rounds is “8R”. The number of rounds with balls is “4R”, and the number of rounds with balls in the second main game side and the non-probability big hits on the second main game side are the same, but the actual round The numbers have different jackpots.
(11) There are five types of actual rounds that can be executed in the jackpot according to the present embodiment: “5R”, “8R”, “9R”, “10R”, and “15R”. There are 4 types of rounds with balls that can be executed in the jackpot related to “4R”, “5R”, “8R”, and “15R”, and the types of actual rounds have balls. More than the number of rounds.
(12) As described above, the number of actual rounds that can be executed is five types of “5R”, “8R”, “9R”, “10R”, and “15R”, and there is a game that can be executed. There are four types of rounds: “4R”, “5R”, “8R”, and “15R”, and the types of short time that can be given after the big hit ends are “100 times” and “100,000 times”. There are two types (including three times including “0”), and there are more types of rounds with balls than short-time types, and actual rounds types are shorter than short-time types. There are many (the number of types is “actual number of rounds> number of rounds with play> number of short times)”.
(13) Ratio of winning the big hit ("4A", "5A", "6A", "9A") where the actual number of rounds on the first main game side and the number of rounds with play are different (selection rate with respect to the entire big hit) Is “(36 + 17 + 200 + 17) ÷ 1000 = 270/1000”, and the ratio of winning the big hit (“2B”, “3B”) where the actual number of rounds on the second main game side and the number of rounds with a ball are different The (selection rate with respect to the entire jackpot) is “(350 + 20) ÷ 1000 = 370/1000”. The jackpot on the second main game side is more likely to be the actual number of rounds than the jackpot on the first main game side. The ratio of big hits with different numbers of rounds with balls is high.
(14) On the first main game side, the jackpot with the largest difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball is “6A”, the actual number of rounds is “15R”, and the number of rounds with a ball is “8R”. The difference is “7R”. On the second main game side, the big hit with the largest difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball is “2B”, the actual number of rounds is “9R”, and the number of rounds with a ball is “4R”. The difference is “5R”. As described above, the largest difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball is larger on the first main game side than on the second main game side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the largest difference between the actual number of rounds and the number of rounds with a ball is configured so that the big hit on the second main game side is larger than the big hit on the first main game side. May be.
The gaming machine according to the present embodiment has the features as described above.

  Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. May}

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1411, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the limited frequency flag A is on. Here, in the present embodiment, the limited frequency state has a limited frequency state A and a limited frequency state B, and in the limited frequency state A, the limited frequency flag A is on, In the limited frequency state B, the limited frequency flag B is turned on. In the case of Yes in step 1411, in step 1800, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a limited frequency A variation mode determination process described later, and proceeds to step 1418. On the other hand, if No in step 1411, in step 1412, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the limited frequency flag B is on. In the case of Yes in step 1412, in step 1850, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a limited frequency B variation mode determination process described later, and proceeds to step 1418. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1412, in step 1413, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the main game symbol determination lottery result, the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly the variation mode lottery). Based on the random number) and the stop symbol related to the main game symbol, the main game table 3 is referred to determine the variation mode of the main game symbol, these are temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, and the process proceeds to Step 1418. .

  Here, FIG. 13 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table (second main game variation mode determination lottery table). As shown in this example, the present embodiment is configured such that the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol is determined based on the result of lottery determination of the main game symbol. That is, when the result of the main game symbol is a winning lottery, the variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long is easily determined. This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of stop symbol, the selection rate, or the like. In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the main game table 3 is not configured to have a different table according to the number of reserved balls, but is configured to have a different table according to the number of reserved balls. It goes without saying. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game time reduction flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol on the second main game side When the change is configured to be advantageous for the player, the second main game side is likely to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). This is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished}.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1418, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs commands (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information) relating to the main game symbols temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M. , Change mode information, etc.) and a command (symbol change display start instruction command) relating to the current gaming state is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission processing in step 1999) Is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1420, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined time related to the change time of the main game symbol in the first and second main game symbol change management timer MP11t-C. Next, in step 1422, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g), according to the variation mode temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, the variation display of the main game symbol is started. Next, in step 1424, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the changing flag, and proceeds to step 1428.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1426, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1426, the process proceeds to step 1428. If No in step 1426, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

  Next, in step 1428, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1428, in step 1430, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a command for transmitting information (symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit SM side to the effect that the symbol variation ends. It is set in the buffer MT10 (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1432, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g) The main game symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1434, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the changing flag.

  Next, in step 1436, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1436, in step 1437, the CPUMC of the main control board M displays the actual number of rounds related to the jackpot corresponding to the jackpot symbol on the round indicator lamp D60. Thus, in this embodiment, when the jackpot symbol stops, the actual number of jackpots to be executed is displayed by displaying the number of jackpots related to the jackpot symbol on the round indicator lamp D60. There is a possibility that the player can recognize and determine which jackpot symbol is to be executed. In order to prevent the occurrence of such a problem that hinders the interest of the game, the present embodiment is configured to have a plurality of jackpots having the same actual round number. Specifically, as a big hit (big hit symbol) on the first main game side, the actual round number of “1A, 2A, 3A” is “5R”, the actual round number of “4A, 5A, 9A” is “10R”, The actual round number of “6A / 7A” is “15R”. In addition, as a big hit (big hit symbol) on the second main game side, the actual number of rounds of “3B / 5B” is “8R”. Note that the second main game has a non-probable big hit (big hit symbol) of only “2B” and the same number of real rounds as “9R”, which is the actual number of rounds related to “2B”. Since there is no big jackpot (probable big hit) symbol on the side, it is possible to determine whether or not the jackpot related to “2B” has been won by visually recognizing the round indicator lamp D60. Since it is configured in this way, in the present embodiment, the second main game symbol is mainly changed and the game is progressed and the time shortening game state (which may be a probability change game state) is a big hit. When winning, which jackpot is won at the timing before the jackpot symbol related to the jackpot stops (or before the actual number of rounds is displayed on the round indicator light D60) (and , Which game state is after the jackpot is ended), that is, which jackpot is won during the symbol change related to the jackpot symbol (which is the gaming state after the jackpot ends) It is configured as follows. By configuring in this way, the player is unable to determine whether or not the result of the change related to the change, the stop symbol (which jackpot symbol) and the gaming state after the jackpot end (when the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol) Thus, attention will be paid to the whereabouts of the production during the symbol change. The effect during the symbol variation will be described later.

  Next, in step 1438, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the condition device operation flag, and proceeds to step 1550. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1436, the process proceeds to step 1550.

  Next, in step 1550, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). Even in the case of No in step 1428, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the limited frequency A variation mode determination process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. First, in step 1802, the CPUMC of the main control board M relates to the main game symbol determination lottery result, the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number) and the main game symbol. Based on the stop symbol, the variation pattern of the main game symbol is determined with reference to the limited frequency table A, and these are temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M. Next, in step 1804, the CPUMC of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the counter value of the limited frequency counter AMN52c-1. Next, in step 1806, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the limited frequency counter AMN52c-1 is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1806, in step 1808, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the limited frequency flag A, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1418). In the case of No in step 1806, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1418).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the limited frequency B variation mode determination process according to the subroutine of step 1850 in FIG. First, in step 1852, the CPUMC of the main control board M relates to the main game symbol determination lottery result, the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number) and the main game symbol. Based on the stop symbol, the variation pattern of the main game symbol is determined with reference to the limited frequency table B, and these are temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M. Next, in step 1854, the CPUMC of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the counter value of the limited frequency counter BMN52c-2. Next, in step 1856, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the limited frequency counter BMN52c-2 is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1856, in step 1858, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the limited frequency flag B and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1418). Even in the case of No in step 1856, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1418).

  Here, FIG. 14 is an example of limited frequency tables (limited frequency table A, limited frequency table B) according to the present embodiment. First, since the limited frequency table A is a table that is referred to in the non-time-reduced gaming state, the limited frequency table is less than the average value of the fluctuation time when referring to the main game table 3 in the time-reduced gaming state. Although the average value of the fluctuation time when A is referred to is longer, it is in the non-time-reduced gaming state and when the limited frequency table A is referenced than the average value of the fluctuation time when referring to the main game table 3. The average value of the fluctuation time is shorter. Next, the limited frequency table B is configured such that only a predetermined value of 5 seconds is selected as the variation time when the symbol variation that causes a loss occurs. By configuring in this way, in the limited frequency state B in which scenario effects to be described later are executed over 10 variations, the effects of each symbol variation are smooth as the same effect mode (the effect tendency is similar). It will be possible to advance the production.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1570, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1570, in step 1572, the CPUMC of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1574, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1574, in step 1576, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1578, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game short time flag. Next, in step 1580, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the limited frequency flag A. Next, in step 1582, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the counter value of the limited frequency counter AMN52c-1 a predetermined number of times (in this example, 30 times). Next, in step 1584, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a special stage transition command (sub-side command) (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600) also in the case of No in step 1552, step 1570 or step 1574. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the special game is finished, the time reduction game state is entered, and the time reduction game state is ended by the predetermined number of times (in this example, 100 times) of the symbol change (non-time reduction game state). In this case, the state is configured to shift to the limited frequency state A and “special stage” (a kind of stay stage, which will be described in detail later). By configuring in this way, even if the gaming state becomes relatively unfavorable to the player (the non-probability variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state) due to the completion of the time shortening gaming state, In (30 symbol variations), the normal non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state (stay stage is "daytime stage") is the main game symbol variation tendency (staying in limited frequency state A) ) And the stay stage (by moving to the “special stage”), the player feels fresh and ends the game when the high profit state ends. Can be reduced. Here, the “stay stage” is a stage that depends on controlling the effect display content displayed on the effect display device SG, and the tendency of the effect displayed when the stay stage is different {the kind of notice effect that can be executed The types of background effects that can be executed, the frequency of execution of notice effects that can be executed, the frequency of execution of background effects that can be executed, the frequency of occurrence of reach effects (SP reach effects, development effects, etc.) are different.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / main game short flag / auxiliary game short flag). Next, in step 1606, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1608, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the value of the probability variation counter MP51c. Next, in step 1610, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the limited frequency flag (limited frequency flag A / limited frequency flag B). Next, in step 1611, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the limited frequency counters (limited frequency counter AMN52c-1 and limited frequency counter BMN52c-2) to zero. As described above, when the special game is won, the limited frequency flag that is turned on is turned off and the limited frequency counter value that is greater than 0 is set in order to end the limited frequency state. It is configured to clear to zero. Next, in step 1612, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the special game transition permission flag. Next, in step 1614, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the condition device operation flag and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1700). In the case of No in step 1602, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1700).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in step 1702, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in Step 1702, in Steps 1704 and 1706, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game transition permission flag and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1707, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1708, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1712.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1702, in step 1710, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1710, the process proceeds to step 1712. In the case of No in step 1710, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1712, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, whether or not it is immediately before the start of each round. In the case of Yes in step 1712, that is, when it is just before the start of each round, first, in step 1714, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an opening pattern (for example, an opening pattern that continues to open, a pattern that performs opening and closing). To do. Next, in step 1716, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1718, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1720, the CPUMC of the main control board M drives the first big prize opening electric combination C11d (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d) and the first big prize opening C10 (or second). The special winning opening C20) is opened, and a special game timer MP34t (particularly, an opening time timer) is set to a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) to start, and the process proceeds to Step 1722. On the other hand, if No in step 1712, that is, if the big prize opening is open, the process proceeds to step 1722 without performing the processes in steps 1714 to 1720.

  Next, in step 1722, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1724, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1724, the process proceeds to step 1728. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1724, in step 1726, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the special game timer MP34t (especially the opening time timer) for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to the special winning opening. It is determined whether or not elapses. Also in the case of Yes in step 1726, the process proceeds to step 1728. In the case of No in step 1726, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1728, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first big prize opening electric combination C11d of the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d of the second big prize opening C20). Is stopped and the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1730, the CPUMC of the main control board M resets the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer). Next, in step 1732, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1733, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1734, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the final round has ended (for example, whether or not the counter value of a round number counter (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). . If Yes in step 1734, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game execution flag in step 1736. Next, in step 1738, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information indicating that the special game is to be ended (special game end display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit SM side. Set (sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). In step 1750, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1734, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1750 in FIG. First, in step 1752, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the current stop symbol is a probabilistic jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot is over. In this example, 1A, 3A, 5A 7A, 9A, 3B, 5B, 7B). In the case of Yes in step 1752, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game probability change flag in step 1754, and proceeds to step 1756. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1752, that is, the current stop symbol is a non-probability variable jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to a non-stochastic game state after the jackpot is over. 2B), the process proceeds to step 1756 without executing the process of step 1754. Next, in step 1756, the CPUMC of the main control board M is provided with 100,000 times of short and long times after the big hit, based on the long and short number of time granting conditions (the jackpot symbol being stopped and the gaming state when the big win is won). It is determined whether or not the condition is satisfied. For details, refer to the number of time reductions for each jackpot symbol in the lower right part of the figure). In the case of Yes in step 1756, in step 1758, the CPUMC of the main control board M counts the short time count in the short time count counter MP52c (substantially the short time duration in which the reduced time gaming state continues until the next big hit is won, In this example, 100000 times) is set. Next, in step 1760, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game short time flag, and proceeds to step 1768.

  If NO in step 1756, the CPU MC of the main control board M shortens the time after the big hit ends based on the conditions for giving the short time and the number of times (based on the stopped big hit symbol and the gaming state when the big win is won). It is a condition that the number of times is given 100 times. For details, refer to whether or not the number of times for each jackpot symbol in the lower right of the figure is satisfied). In the case of Yes in step 1762, in step 1764, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the short time count (100 times in this example) in the time count counter MP52c. Next, in step 1766, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game short time flag, and proceeds to step 1768. In the case of No in step 1762, that is, when the number of time reductions is not given after the big hit ends (when the time saving gaming state is not shifted), the main gaming time reduction flag is not turned on, and the processing shifts to step 1768 (end of the big hit) Later, it shifts to a non-time-saving gaming state).

  Next, in step 1768, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not it is after the end of the jackpot won in the normal gaming state (the non-probability variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state). In the case of Yes in step 1768, in step 1770, is the current stop symbol a limited frequency A transition jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to the limited frequency state A after the jackpot ends, in this example 6A)? Determine whether or not. If Yes in step 1770, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the limited frequency flag A in step 1772. Next, in step 1774, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the predetermined frequency counter AMN52c-1 a predetermined number of times (in this example, 30 times). In the present embodiment, the predetermined number of times set in the limited frequency counter AMN52c-1 when the state shifts to the limited frequency state A is 30 times, and the number of time reductions given after the end of the big hit (the smallest number of time reductions) , 100 times). Next, in step 1776, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a special stage transition command (a command to the sub-side for transitioning to the “special stage” as the stay stage) (sub control command transmission processing in step 1999). Is transmitted to the main control unit SM side), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  If No in step 1768 or step 1770, in step 1778, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the current stop symbol is a limited frequency B transition big hit symbol (a big hit that will shift to the limited frequency state B after the big hit ends). In this example, it is determined whether or not it is 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 9A). If Yes in step 1778, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the limited frequency flag B in step 1780. Next, in step 1782, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the limited frequency counter BMN52c-2 a predetermined number of times (in this example, 10 times). The predetermined number (10 times) set in the limited frequency counter BMN52c-2 in step 1782 is configured to be smaller than the predetermined number (30 times) set in the limited frequency counter AMN52c-1 in step 1774. . Next, in step 1784, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a probability variation stage transition command (a command to the sub-side for transitioning to the “probability variation stage” as the stay stage) (control command transmission processing in step 1999). Is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997). Thus, in the present embodiment, “6A” which is the non-probability variable big hit symbol (limited frequency A transition big hit symbol) on the first main game side in the normal gaming state (non-probability variation gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state). ”Is selected, after the jackpot related to“ 6A ”, the limited frequency state A and“ special stage ”(stay stage, which will be described in detail later) are transferred. Also, if you win the first main game limited frequency B transition jackpot symbol ("1A", "2A", "3A", "4A", "5A", "9A") After the big hit related to the big hit symbol, the limited frequency state B and the “probability change stage” (the stay stage, which will be described in detail later) are configured. The number of fluctuations that can stay in the limited frequency state A (maximum number of fluctuations) is 30, and the number of fluctuations that can stay in the limited frequency B (maximum number of fluctuations) is 10. The number of fluctuations that can stay in A is greater than the number of fluctuations that can stay in limited frequency state B. In addition, the number of short hours given after the end of the jackpot is 100 times or 100,000 times, and when the time saving game state is entered after the end of the big hit, the number of short hours given is limited frequency state regardless of which number is selected. The number of fluctuations that can stay in A is larger than the number of fluctuations that can stay in A (the smallest number of time reductions is 100, whereas the number of fluctuations that can stay in limited frequency state A is 30). In addition, when the limited frequency state C is further provided as the limited frequency state, and the non-probable variation big hit is won in the time-reduced gaming state, the period of 100 symbol fluctuations after the end of the non-probable big hit is limited frequency state C And the period of 30 symbol fluctuations after the end of the limited frequency state C is defined as the limited frequency state A, that is, the transition can be made as “non-probable big hit → limited frequency state C → limited frequency state A”. May be.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 19 to 28, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described. First, FIG. 19 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 9A is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting when the gaming machine is powered on. That is, at the time of powering on the gaming machine, in step 2002, the CPUSC of the sub-main control unit SM executes initial processing based on information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clearing). When the information is received → the sub-side RAM is initialized, when various information commands are received → the production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (b) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub main control unit SM. Here, when (b) is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 5B, first, in step 2100, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a hold information management process to be described later. Next, in step 2200, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decoration symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2400, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2500, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a special game related display control process which will be described later. Next, in step 2600, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a stay stage determination process to be described later. Next, in step 2999, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a display command transmission control process (sends commands set in these series of subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and ends this repetitive process routine. To do.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM employs a form in which the sub-main routine (S2100 to S2999) is loop-processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5C is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is a terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example). , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (c). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the sub-main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sends a command input port (described above) from the main control board M side. Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the CPUSC of the sub control board S temporarily stores the command transmitted from the main control board M side in the RAM area on the sub main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result, and immediately before this interrupt processing. Return to the process that was being executed.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a new hold occurrence command (hold information relating to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol) has been received from the main control board M side. To do. In the case of Yes in Step 2102, in Step 2104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is set to the drawing suspension counter (in this example, the maximum for the first main game and the maximum for the second main game is 4). 1 "is added (incremented). Next, in step 2106, the CPUSC of the sub control board S is based on the hold occurrence command transmitted from the main control board M side, and holds the hold information (in particular, a random value related to the main game symbol lottery. The random number / design lottery random number / variation mode lottery random number) is temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub-control board S, and the process proceeds to Step 2116.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2102, in step 2108, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a symbol variation display start instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2108, in step 2110, the CPUSC of the sub control board S subtracts (decrements) “1” from the drawing suspension counter. Next, in step 2112, the CPUSC of the sub control board S shifts the hold information related to the symbol variation to the remaining hold information. Next, in step 2114, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 2116. In the case of No in step 2108, the processing proceeds to step 2116 without executing the processing of step 2110 to step 2114. Next, in step 2116, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has the same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter value on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). Is displayed and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2200).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, in step 2202, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is ON. If YES in step 2202, in step 2204, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination permission flag. Next, in step 2250, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decoration symbol stop symbol determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2206, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the variation pattern of the decorative design and temporarily stores it in the RAM area of the sub control board S. Next, in step 2300, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect content determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2208, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2400). Note that, also in the case of No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2400).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. First, in step 2252, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the loss. In the case of Yes in step 2252, in step 2254, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 2206). . If NO in step 2252, in step 2256, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to a big hit on the second main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2256, in step 2258, the CPUSC of the sub control board S aligns the stop symbols of the decorative symbols (the symbol aligns that the stop symbols of the decorative symbols in the left column, the middle column, and the right column are the same. For example, “7, 7, 7”), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2206). In the case of No in step 2256, that is, in the case where the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to a big hit on the first main game side, in step 2260, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines that the symbol variation is a probable change big hit. It is a big hit symbol on the first main game side that shifts to the limited frequency state B after the big hit ends, and in this example, it is determined whether or not it is a symbol change related to 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 9A To do. In the case of Yes in step 2260, in step 2262, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays a special symbol as a decorative symbol stop symbol (the left column and the right column are the same symbol, and the special symbol stops in the middle column). The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2206). In the present embodiment, the special symbol may refer to a combination of stop symbols of decorative symbols in the left column, middle column, and right column, or may only refer to a stop symbol that stops in the middle column. Good. In addition, the stop mode of the special symbol is not limited to this example, and the stop mode in which the left column, the middle column, and the right column are regularly arranged (for example, in order of “1, 2, 3”, etc., "3, 2, 1", etc., "2, 4, 6", even numbers, "1, 3, 5", etc., etc.), left column, middle column, right column It is also possible to configure so that the special symbol (for example, watermelon) stops in the middle row from the three rows.

  Further, in the case of No in step 2260, in step 2264, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the stop symbols of the decorative symbols to be the same pattern (stop symbols in which the left column, the middle column, and the right column are the same symbol), The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2206).

  Here, the lower part of the figure is a stop symbol image of the decorative symbol. First, an example of the special symbol stop will be described in detail. First, the symbol variation related to “3A”, which is a probability variation jackpot symbol, is executed. After that, “6”, which is the same stop symbol in the left column and the right column, stops at the same variation, and reach variation is executed (the middle column is varying). After that, the special symbol “Watermelon” is stopped and displayed in the middle row with the same fluctuation.

  Next, an example of the symbol matching will be described in detail. First, the symbol variation related to “7A” which is the probability variation big hit symbol is executed. Thereafter, “7”, which is the same stop symbol in the left column and the right column, stops at the same variation, and reach variation is executed (the middle column is varying). After that, “7”, which is the same stop pattern as the left column and the right column, stops in the middle column with the same fluctuation, and the left column, the middle column, and the right column all stop at the same “7”. Become.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, whether the CPUSC of the sub control board S has a scenario effect flag (a flag that is turned on in a situation where a scenario effect to be described later can be executed and turned on in step 2320) is turned off. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in Step 2302, in Step 2304, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is a time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2304, in step 2306, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to jackpot. In the case of Yes in step 2306, in step 2308, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to a probability variation big hit (probability variation big hit symbol). In the case of Yes in step 2308, in step 2310, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S wins the effect during the symbol change and notifies the player that the battle effect (the game shifts to the probability-variable game state after the jackpot relating to the changing jackpot symbol ends). To the next process (the process of step 2208).

  If No in step 2308, in step 2312, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S loses the effect of the symbol variation to the battle effect (the game shifts to the non-stochastic variation gaming state after the big hit relating to the changing big hit symbol is completed). To the next process (the process of step 2208).

  As described above, in this example, when the jackpot is won in the time-saving gaming state, it is determined whether the game is in the probability variation gaming state or the non-stochastic variation gaming state after the jackpot is ended. (Notify at the timing before the big hit symbol stops). In the case of the probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state, the probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state are substantially continued until the next jackpot winning (100,000 times the symbol variation is completed). Therefore, for the player, it will pay more attention to whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit when the big hit is won, rather than whether or not the symbol fluctuation is a big hit, When a battle effect (winning battle effect or losing battle effect) is executed, the fact that the big win is won is definitely notified (when the battle effect is executed, the symbol variation may be a big hit). If it is a winning battle performance, it will be deterministic to shift to the probability-variable gaming state after the jackpot, and if it is a losing battle performance, It is configured to be deterministic to be in a non-stochastic variable gaming state after the end (because the performance tendency is the same even in the non-probabilistic variable gaming state and the time-reduced gaming state, It is deterministic that the symbol variation is a big hit). In the present embodiment, when the probability variation gaming state is reached after the jackpot ends, the winning battle effect is executed only during the symbol variation related to the jackpot. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot ends. When the probability variation gaming state is set later, both the winning battle effect and the losing battle effect may be executed during the symbol variation related to the big hit. Specifically, when the probability variation gaming state is reached after the jackpot ends, a losing battle effect is executed during the symbol variation related to the jackpot, and the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot ends as a revival effect at the stop timing of the jackpot symbol It may be configured to notify the fact that it will shift to, or a losing battle effect is executed during the symbol fluctuation related to the big hit, and the probability changing gaming state is entered after the big hit ends during the big hit relating to the losing battle production. You may comprise so that the effect to transfer may be alert | reported. As described above, during the symbol change related to the big hit, the fact that the gaming state after the big hit ends is a non-stochastic variable gaming state, but the actual gaming state after the big hit ends may be a probability changed gaming state. (1) When the probability variation gaming state is reached after the jackpot ends, during the symbol variation related to the jackpot, “the ratio that the winning battle effect is executed> the ratio that the losing battle effect is executed (2) When the game is in the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot is over, if the losing battle effect is executed during the symbol variation related to the jackpot, It is configured to notify that it will shift to the probability variation gaming state. (3) When it becomes the probability variation gaming state after the big hit, it is configured to be able to execute a losing battle effect during the symbol variation related to the big hit. In this case, it is preferable to provide a probabilistic big hit and a non-probable big hit that have the same actual number of rounds (in order to prevent recognition of the big hit symbol by visually checking the round indicator lamp D60). You may comprise as follows.

  If No in step 2306, in step 2314, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the effect contents in the symbol variation based on the current gaming state, the decorative symbol stop symbol and the variation pattern, and the next The process proceeds to the process (the process of Step 2208). If NO in step 2304, in step 2316, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines that the symbol variation is a probable variation jackpot symbol (the first main game side jackpot symbol that shifts to the limited frequency state B after the jackpot ends). In this example, it is determined whether or not it is a symbol variation related to 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and 9A). In the case of Yes in step 2316, in step 2320, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the scenario rendering flag, and proceeds to step 2322. In the case of No in step 2316, the process proceeds to step 2322 without executing the process in step 2320. Next, in step 2322, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect content in the symbol variation based on the current gaming state, the decorative symbol stop symbol, and the variation mode, and performs the next processing (processing in step 2208). ).

  If No in step 2302, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S in step 2324 determines that the symbol variation is a probable variation jackpot symbol (the jackpot symbol on the first main game side that shifts to the limited frequency state B after the jackpot ends). In this example, it is determined whether or not it is the next variation of the symbol variation relating to 1A · 2A · 3A · 4A · 5A · 9A). In the case of Yes in step 2324, in step 2326, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is the final variation in scenario rendering (the tenth variation after the end of the probable variation big hit). In this embodiment, if the winning probability winning jackpot symbol is won in the non-time-reduced gaming state, the limited frequency state B is set in a period of 10 fluctuations after the jackpot relating to the probability changing winning jackpot symbol, and The effect executed in this way is referred to as scenario effect or probability change effect. In the case of Yes in step 2326, in step 2328, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the current gaming state based on the scenario effect (which will be determined in step 2334) for which the effect of the symbol variation has been determined. Is determined as an effect to notify. Next, in step 2320, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the scenario rendering flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2208).

  In the case of No in step 2326, in step 2332, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S produces an effect based on the scenario effect (determined in step 2334) that determines the effect in the symbol variation. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2208). Further, in the case of No in step 2324, in other words, when the current symbol variation is the next variation of the probability variation jackpot symbol, in step 2334, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the predetermined variation after the symbol variation (the symbol concerned). The scenario effect which is the effect content for 10 variations) including the variation is determined. As described above, in the present embodiment, when winning a probability variation jackpot symbol in the non-time-reduced gaming state, after the jackpot related to the probability variation bonus game is completed, the contents of effects for the 10 variations after the next variation are displayed. Is configured to determine. The timing of determining the content of the scenario effect is not limited to this, but the timing of the symbol variation start timing for the probability variation jackpot symbol, the symbol variation start timing for the probability variation jackpot symbol, and the jackpot end for the probability variation jackpot symbol It is good also as timing etc., and it should just be comprised so that the production content for 10 fluctuations (several symbol fluctuations) concerning scenario production may be determined collectively at one timing. Further, in the final variation of the scenario effect, the current gaming state is notified to the player. The timing for notifying the game state is not limited to this, and may be the start timing of the scenario effect, or may be the timing during the execution of the scenario effect. For example, the game condition notification in the period of the limited frequency state B The notification mode may be such that the later the timing, the higher the degree of expectation that the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination flag. Next, in step 2406, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2408, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S starts the drawing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2410. Note that if the result in Step 2402 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2410.

  Next, in step 2410, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2410, in step 2412, the CPUSC of the sub control board S confirms the timer value of the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2414, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the decorative symbol variation start timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2414, in step 2416, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a decorative symbol variation display command (transmitted to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). The process proceeds to step 2426.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2414, in step 2418, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the decorative symbol stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2418, in step 2420, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the decorative symbols (the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). The process proceeds to step 2426.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2418, in step 2422, whether the CPUSC of the sub control board S has reached the display timing of the notice image or the reach image based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub control board S. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2422, in step 2424, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets an image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub sub control unit SS side). The process proceeds to step 2426. Note that if the result is No in step 2422, the process proceeds to step 2426.

  Next, in step 2426, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of Yes in step 2426, in step 2436, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative design (transmits to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). To do). Next, in step 2438, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2440, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol changing flag, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2500). Even in the case of No in step 2426, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2500). In the case of No in step 2410, that is, when the decorative symbol is stopped, in step 2450, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes an effect display control process during drawing stop, which will be described later, and performs the following process ( The process proceeds to step 2500.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of an effect display control process during drawing stop according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. First, in step 2452, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the scenario effect flag (the flag that is turned on in step 2320 and turned on in a situation where the scenario effect can be executed) is on. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2452, in step 2454, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays an effect based on the scenario effect that determines the effect that the symbol is stopped (for example, an indication that the game is in the probability variation gaming state from the treasure box). Is set to be performed) (the display command transmission control process at step 2999 is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the next process (the process at step 2500) is performed. Migrate to In the present embodiment, the processing of step 2454 is executed when the scenario effect flag is on. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the time of symbol stop after symbol variation ends in the limited frequency state B In step 2454, the processing of step 2454 may be executed (the processing of step 2454 is not executed during the symbol stop period from the end of the big hit relating to the probability variation hit jackpot symbol until the symbol variation starts, and the probability variation hit jackpot symbol is not executed. The processing of step 2454 is executed from the symbol stop period related to the next fluctuation after the jackpot according to the end). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2452, in step 2456, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines and sets the effect during the symbol stop as an effect based on the current stay stage (display command transmission control process in step 2999). And the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2500). Thus, in the present embodiment, in the situation where the scenario effect is being executed, even if there is no hold and the symbol variation is not being executed, the symbol based on the scenario effect is being stopped. By executing the effects, it is possible to execute a continuous effect over 10 variations (effects constituting a series of stories) without interruption. The details will be described later, but the effect during the stop of the symbol effect during the scenario effect is the current game state that is notified by the final change of the scenario effect (the 10th symbol change from the start of the scenario effect). An effect (for example, “Large chance!” Is displayed) suggesting the result of the effect to be notified is executed. In addition, although the production mode of the production based on the scenario production is not limited to the production mode of the present example, the period during which the symbol variation is stopped (not executed) becomes a long period, and thus, over a plurality of variations. In order not to interrupt the scenario effect to be executed, it is preferable that the stopped effect is a moving image having the same effect tendency as the scenario effect.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2504, in step 2506, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special game currently being executed is a special game won in the time-reduced game state. In the case of Yes in step 2506, in step 2508, the CPUSC of the sub control board S counts the consecutive game count counter SM23c2 (a counter for measuring the number of consecutive wins of the special game won in the time-reduced game state or the limited frequency state A). ) Is added to the counter value, and the process proceeds to step 2514. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2506, in step 2510, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S wins the special game that is won in the “special stage” that is the stay stage where the special game currently being executed stays in the limited frequency state A. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2510, in step 2512, the CPUSC of the sub control board S clears the counter value of the extended game counter SM23c2 to zero, and proceeds to step 2514. If NO in step 2510, the process proceeds to step 2508. As described above, in this embodiment, the condition for adding the counter value of the extended game counter SM23c2, that is, the condition for determining that the special game being executed is the special game being executed is (1) the special game being executed. Either the game is a special game won in the time-reduced game state, or (2) the running special game is a special game won in the limited frequency state A (“special stage”). If, for example, it is configured to determine that the special game being executed is a special game in the consecutive resort {e.g., “winning win in time-saving gaming state → winning win in limited frequency state A → time If the winning game is a winning game in the shortened gaming state, the consecutive resort count counter value is 3 (the consecutive resort count is 3)}.

  Next, in step 2514 and step 2516, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the special gaming flag and performs a big hit start display on the effect display device SG (performs appropriate display based on the type of the big hit). Then, the process proceeds to step 2550. Note that if the result in Step 2502 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2550. Next, in step 2550, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a special game effect executing process, which will be described later.

  Next, in step 2518, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2520, in step 2522, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs a big hit end display on the effect display device SG (appropriate display is performed based on the big hit type). Next, in step 2522, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the special gaming flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2600). Note that if the answer is No in step 2504 or step 2518, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2600).

  Next, FIG. 27 shows a special game effect execution process according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. First, in step 2552, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the counter value of the consecutive game count counter SM23c2 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (10 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines that the jackpot being executed is the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds (the jackpot with the maximum number of rounds in which a ball is played. It is determined whether the number is 7A and 7B (15R). In the case of Yes in step 2554, in step 2556, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines that the special game being executed is a normal gaming state (a non-probability variation gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state may be referred to as a normal gaming state). It is determined whether or not it is a special game won at. Note that if the result is No in step 2552, the process proceeds to step 2556. In the case of Yes in step 2556, in step 2558, the CPUSC of the sub control board S reads out the jackpot symbol related to the special game being executed based on the command related to the main game symbol determined from the main side. Next, in step 2559, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the special game being executed is a special game related to the symbol matching on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2559, in step 2560, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the special game being executed is a special game (big hit) related to the probability variation big hit symbol. In the case of Yes in step 2560, in step 2562, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command for executing the winning battle effect (transmitted to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2999). Then, the process proceeds to step 2568. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2560, that is, when the special game being executed is a special game (big hit) related to the non-probable big hit symbol, in step 2564, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs a losing battle effect. The command to be executed is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2999), and the process proceeds to step 2568. Here, in the present embodiment, as an effect during the special game, a winning battle effect informing that the transition to the probability variation gaming state after the special game ends, and a transition to the non-probability variation gaming state after the special game ends. It is configured to be able to execute two battle effects (a winning battle effect and a losing battle effect are collectively referred to as a battle effect) and a loss battle effect that informs the effect (as described above) Even if the symbol variation related to the jackpot symbol in the state is configured to execute the winning battle effect and the losing battle effect, but the battle effect executed during the symbol variation related to the jackpot symbol in the time-saving gaming state and the non-probability variation In the gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, when the first main game side jackpot is won, the stage of the battle effect executed during the jackpot (effect tilt) ) It may be the same, it may be configured to be different representation embodiment (effect tends)). By configuring in this way, it is possible to notify the player whether or not to shift to the probability varying gaming state after the big hit when the big hit related to the first main game side's symbol set is executed. Note that the big hits related to the first main game side's symbol set are “6A” and “7A”, and the actual number of rounds is “15R” in both cases, so the round indicator lamp D60 is turned on at the start of the big hit. Since the player cannot recognize whether the big hit is a probable big hit or a non-probable big hit, the player can pay attention to the result of the battle effect during the big hit. Also, in this example, in the non-time-reduced gaming state, left-handed (a game method in which a game ball is fired so that the game ball flows down on the left side of the game board surface) is executed, mainly due to symbol variation on the first main game side. While the game is progressing, in the time-saving game state, right-handed (a game method in which the game ball is fired so that the game ball flows down on the right side of the game board surface) is executed, mainly due to the symbol variation on the second main game side. It is comprised so that a game may progress. The battle effect is executed during the big hit because it is a big hit when the symbols of the first main game side are aligned, that is, when the big hit that becomes a symbol set in the non-time-reduced game state is won. A battle effect will be executed. As described above, when a big hit is made in the time saving gaming state (in the time saving gaming state, the game is advanced by making a right-hand hit), a battle effect is given during the symbol variation related to the big winning. Since it is configured to be executed, the execution timing of the battle effect will differ depending on the gaming state, that is, the timing for notifying whether or not to shift to the probability varying gaming state after the big hit ends depending on the gaming state. It is configured. In this way, by configuring so that the timing of notifying whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit ends can be different depending on the gaming state won in the big hit, the symbols are aligned in the non-time-reduced gaming state. In the case of big hits, the expectation regarding whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state until the end of the big hit is pulled, and the symbols are aligned in the time shortening gaming state (especially the probability varying gaming state and the time shortening gaming state). In the case of a big hit, it is possible to produce an effect of speeding up the digestion through the big hit.

  If NO in step 2559, in step 2561, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special game being executed is a special game related to the special symbol on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2561, in step 2565, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is an effect executed during the big hit effect related to the special symbol on the first main game side. "!" Is displayed) and a command related to the display is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2999), and the process proceeds to step 2568. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2561, in step 2566, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command related to the display of the second main game jackpot effect (which may be executed as appropriate based on the game state won in the jackpot) ( In the display command transmission control process of step 2999, it is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to step 2568. If NO in step 2554, in step 2567, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines that the special big hit effect consecutive game count (count value of the consecutive game count counter SM 23 specific area C 22) is a predetermined value (in this example, 10) and when the big hit being executed is the maximum number of rounds (in this example, 15R) big hit, a special big hit effect (for example, an effect congratulating the player) is displayed} This command is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2999), and the process proceeds to step 2568. Next, in step 2568, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sequentially displays the number of rounds in which a game is being executed and the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening (the first big winning opening C10 and the second big winning opening C20). The command to be set is set, and the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2518). In addition, the display in step 2568 counts only the rounds with the ball in the special game being executed, and how many rounds with the current ball have been executed or have been executed (the number of rounds as the round with the ball) For example, when a round that is not a round with a ball is a round without a ball, a “round with a ball → round without a ball → round with a ball” If the round is progressing as in “Round with a ball”, the actual round is the 4R round, but the round with a ball is the 3R round, so “3R” is displayed on the effect display device SG. It is configured to be. Do not display the number of rounds or indirectly indicate the number of rounds without displaying the number of rounds during the execution of big hits (for example, big hits related to “3B”) where the number of rounds with balls is different from the actual number of rounds The display may be displayed (for example, the gems for the number of times a round with a ball is executed are displayed) (the number of rounds with a ball may not be displayed).

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the stay stage determination process according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2602, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the stay stage switching timing {for example, the timing at which the special game is ended (winned), the timing at which the gaming state is shifted, even in the same gaming state) It is determined whether or not the timing at which the variation mode determination table is switched, the timing at which the limited frequency state starts or ends, the timing at which the number of variations reaches a predetermined number, etc. (even in the same gaming state). In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special stage transition command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the CPUSC of the sub control board S is the stay stage {the type of effect content, and the effects that can be executed when the stay stage is different (background effect, notice effect, etc.) are different. "Special stage" (stay stage that will stay in the case of limited frequency state A) is set, and the processing proceeds to the next processing (step 2999 processing).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2604, in step 2608, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a probability change stage shift command from the main side has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2608, in step 2610, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets “probability variation stage” (stay stage that can stay in the limited frequency state B) as the stay stage, and The process proceeds to the process (the process of Step 2999).

  If NO in step 2608, in step 2612, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2614, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is a time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2614, that is, when the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state, in step 2616, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets “battle stage” (probability variation gaming) as the stay stage. This is a stay stage where the player stays in a state and a time-reduced gaming state, and a reach stage in which it becomes deterministic that the symbol fluctuation will be a big hit due to reach fluctuation is set, and the next process (process of step 2999) ). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2614, in step 2618, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has the same stage effect as the “day stage” described later in the “special day stage” {“special day stage” as the stay stage. However, the fact that the fact that the game state is the probability variation game state (probability change notification display) is displayed is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2999). In addition, as a specific example of shifting to the “special day stage”, in the situation of “day stage”, the winning symbol “3A” which is a probable big hit symbol and the probable big hit symbol is won, and after the jackpot relating to the “3A” is finished The stay stage will be the “probable change stage”. After that, the scenario production is executed at the “probability variation stage”, the final variation of the scenario production informs that the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state, and the stay stage changes to the “special day stage” Will be transferred to.

  In the case of No in step 2612, in step 2620, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is a time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2620, in step 2622, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets “evening stage” (non-stochastic gaming state and staying stage in a time-reduced gaming state) as the stay stage. The process proceeds to the process (the process of Step 2999). On the other hand, if No in step 2620, that is, if the current gaming state is the normal gaming state (non-probability variation gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state), in step 2624, the CPUSC of the sub control board S is in the stay stage. As “day stage” (non-stochastic game state and stay stage in non-time-reduced game state) are set, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2999 process). In the case of No in step 2602, it is determined that it is not the stay stage switching timing, and the next process (the process of step 2999) is performed without newly setting the stay stage (while maintaining the current stay stage). Transition.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a stay stage display image diagram according to the present embodiment. In the same figure, a case where “3A” which is a probable big hit symbol on the first main game side is won in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced game state is illustrated. First, the symbol variation related to “3A” is executed in a non-stochastic variation gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state and the stay stage is “daytime stage”. After that, the reach effect is executed as the symbol variation related to “3A”, and then the special symbol (decorative symbol stop symbol suggesting that it is a big hit) stops as the middle row stop symbol (decorative symbol stop symbol). After that, when the special symbol is stopped (the symbol variation related to “3A” is completed), the special game related to “3A” is executed, and the “probable change stage” is displayed as a special jackpot effect display in the special game. ”(A stay stage in which the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state or a non-stochastic variation gaming state is concealed from the player and the expectation is felt). In the present embodiment, when calculating the average value of the number of rounds with a big hit that will cause the special symbol on the first main game side to stop, “1A” → “5R”, “2A” → “5R ”,“ 3A ”→“ 5R ”,“ 4A ”→“ 5R ”,“ 5A ”→“ 5R ”,“ 9A ”→“ 5R ”, so the average number of rounds with a ball is“ 5R ” " In addition, when calculating the average value of the number of rounds with big hits that will stop the symbol matching on the first main game side (the stopped symbols with the same left column, middle column, and right column), “7A” → Since “15R”, “6A” → “8R”, “(15R × 520 + 8R × 200) /720=13.1R” is the average value of the number of rounds with a ball. In this way, since the average value of the number of rounds with a ball is smaller than the big hits with the same pattern, the big hits that will cause the special symbols to stop will be awarded if the special symbol stops. Rather than the number of balls acquired, it is more important for the player which game state after the jackpot related to the special symbol will be (whether it will be a probability variation game state). Because it is configured in such a way, the effect during the big hit that will stop the special symbol will be notified that the stage will shift to the “probability change stage” that is the stay stage where the gaming state after the end of the big hit is notified It is configured so that an effect is performed.

  Thereafter, the special game related to “3A” ends, the next symbol variation starts at the “probability variation stage”, and a treasure box is displayed as an effect (background effect) in the “probability variation stage”. Note that, since the special game related to “3A” is completed, the gaming state is a probability-variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state, but the gaming state is not notified to the player. After that, the fluctuating decorative design stops and the next variation will not be started due to the absence of the hold, but even when the change is stopped (waiting for the hold to occur) In the example, “Large chance!” Is displayed so as to vibrate). In addition, the effect during the stop of the symbol variation may be configured to determine the effect to be executed by lottery from a plurality of effect patterns, as in the case of the effect during the symbol variation. The effect pattern that can be selected, the selection ratio of the effect that is selected, and the like may be varied depending on the gaming state. In addition, when symbol variation is started during the execution of an effect while symbol variation is stopped, it may be configured to preferentially execute the effect during symbol variation. In order to prevent the effects of production from occurring even if symbol variation is started during the execution of a variation-stopped effect, the effect mode during which symbol variation is stopped is linked from the effect during symbol variation stop to the effect during symbol variation. However, it is preferable to have an effect that does not cause a sense of incongruity. In addition, as an effect mode of the effect that suggests the result of the scenario effect, the scenario effect is continued in order to prevent a situation in which the scenario effect over 10 symbol variations is interrupted. It is preferable to execute an effect to be shown, and an effect mode similar to a scenario effect and a moving image (not a still image) may be used. After that, the 8th symbol variation ends, the next symbol variation (final variation in the “probability variation stage”) starts, and the current gaming state is displayed from the treasure box as an effect during the symbol variation (scenario effect). An indication that the game is in the probability variation gaming state appears. Note that the player recognizes that the current gaming state is the probability varying gaming state by visually recognizing the display indicating that the probability varying gaming state is concerned. After that, the next variation starts, the stay stage switches from the “probability variation stage” to the “special day stage”, and a message indicating that the game is in the probability variation game state (probability variation notification display) is displayed (“special day stage”). The background effect is the same as the “daytime stage”). In addition, in the same figure, the case where “3A” which is a probable big hit symbol is won is illustrated, but when “2A” which is a non-probable big hit is won, the final variation of the “probable variation stage” An indication that the current gaming state is a non-stochastic variation gaming state appears from the treasure box, and the stay stage is switched to the “daytime stage” at the next variation.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a round indicator lamp display image diagram in the present embodiment. The round indicator lamp D60 is an indicator lamp that displays the actual number of rounds in the special game to be executed by being turned on. The round indicator lamp D60 is controlled on the main control board M side and is associated with the jackpot symbol when the jackpot symbol is stopped. It is configured to light up with a display indicating the actual number of rounds. In this example, there are five types of actual round numbers: “5R”, “8R”, “9R”, “10R”, “15R”, and the lighting mode of the round indicator lamp D60 is actual. Different lighting modes are provided by different types of rounds. Note that the display of the actual number of rounds in the round indicator lamp D60 may be configured to make it difficult for the player to determine the actual number of rounds, and by doing so, by visually recognizing the round indicator lamp D60, It is possible to recognize the actual number of jackpots to be executed and to reduce the loss of game playability.

  Next, FIG. 31 is an image diagram related to the round indicator lamp lighting timing according to the present embodiment. In this example, in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, the display mode of the round indicator lamp D60 in the case of winning the jackpot relating to “7A” which is the probability variation jackpot symbol on the first main game side is shown in FIG. The display mode of the round indicator lamp D60 in the case of winning the jackpot related to “7B” which is the probability variation jackpot symbol on the second main game side in the probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state is illustrated in the upper stage upper side. It is illustrated on the upper side. First, in the upper part of the figure, in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, the symbol variation related to “7A” is executed, and the stop symbols of the decorative symbols in the left column and the right column are the same “ 7 "and the reach effect is executed. After that, the symbol variation related to “7A” ends with the same variation, and the same symbols as “7, 7, 7” stop in the left column, middle column, and right column as stop symbols related to the symbol variation. ) Is stopped, and “15 rounds”, which is the actual number of jackpots related to “7A”, are displayed on the round indicator lamp D60 (the round indicator lamp D60 lights up in a lighting manner indicating that it is 15 rounds). To do). After that, the big hit related to “7A” starts, and as an effect during the big hit, the battle effect on the effect display device SG (implying that if you win against the enemy character and win, you win the promising big hit, if you lose An effect that suggests that the non-probable big hit has been won. Thereafter, as a result of the battle effect, a winning battle effect (an effect that suggests that the promising big hit is won) is executed, and by visually recognizing the winning battle effect, the player enters a probability-variable gaming state after the jackpot ends. Can recognize the transition.

  Next, in the lower part of the figure, in the probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state, the symbol variation related to “7B” is executed, and the stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the left column and the right column is “7” ”And the reach effect is executed. After that, as an effect during the same symbol change, the battle effect on the effect display device SG (If you win against an enemy character and win, it indicates that you have won a promising big hit, and if you lose, you have won a non-probable big hit. The effect that will be suggested) is executed. After that, a winning battle effect (an effect that suggests winning the promising big hit) is displayed as an effect result of the battle effect, and by viewing the result of the winning battle effect, the state shifts to the probability-variable gaming state after the end of the big hit. The player can recognize this. After that, the symbol variation related to “7B” is finished, and the symbols as a stop symbol related to the symbol variation are stopped (the same symbol “7, 7, 7” stops in the left, middle, and right columns). At the same time, the round indicator lamp D60 displays “15 rounds”, which is the actual number of jackpots (the round indicator lamp D60 lights up in a lighting manner indicating that it is 15 rounds).

  In the present embodiment, the number of actual rounds related to the big win symbol on the first main game side is 5 rounds (corresponding to “1A”, “2A”, “3A”), 10 rounds (“4A”, “5A” ”,“ 9A ”), and 15 rounds (corresponding to“ 6A ”and“ 7A ”). For example, the symbol variation ends and the probability variation hit bonus symbol and the probability variation bonus symbol“ When a special symbol which is a decorative symbol indicating that “1A” has been won is displayed and five rounds are displayed as the actual number of rounds on the round indicator lamp D60, the round indicator lamp D60 Even if the lighting mode is visually recognized, “1A”, “2A”, “3A”, “1A” or “3A” that shifts to the probability variation gaming state is won, or “2A that does not transition to the probability variation gaming state” ” , That is, whether or not to shift to the probability change gaming state after the big hit the end, the player will not be able to recognize. On the other hand, the number of actual rounds related to the jackpot symbol on the second main game side is 9 rounds (corresponding to “2B”), 8 rounds (corresponding to “3B”, “5B”), 15 rounds (corresponding to “7B”) ), And only when “2B” is won, the game does not enter the probability-variable gaming state after the jackpot ends, that is, the jackpot related to “3B” where the actual number of rounds is the same eight rounds. After the end and after the jackpot relating to “5B”, the game shifts to the probability varying gaming state, and after the jackpot relating to “7B” where the actual number of rounds is 15 rounds, the game shifts to the probability varying gaming state. After the jackpot relating to the round “2B”, the game shifts to a non-stochastic game state. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and the player visually recognizes the round indicator lamp D60, the round indicator lamp D60 is displayed. The If the actual number of rounds is 8 rounds or 15 rounds, it will be recognized that the transition to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the jackpot, and in the case of 9 rounds, it will be recognized that the transition to the non-probability variation gaming state after the termination of the jackpot, There is a risk that the interest of the game will be impaired. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the time-saving game state in which the game mainly proceeds on the second main game side (by entering the game ball into the second main game start opening B10), The player can display a round display by performing a battle effect that notifies the player whether the game is in a probability-variable game state or a non-stochastic game state after the jackpot is over while the symbol is changing. Attention will be paid to the result of the battle effect executed at the timing prior to the display of the lamp D60, and the gaming machine can be highly interesting. As described above, the big hit on the first main game side has a big hit with the same actual round number in the probability variation big hit and the non-probability big hit (for example, 1A, 2A and 3A correspond) The big hit on the second main game side is configured so that there is no big hit with the same actual number of rounds in the probability variation big hit and the non-probability big hit. On the first main game side, it is sufficient that there is at least one combination of jackpots that has the same number of actual rounds for both probabilistic jackpots and non-probable jackpots, and all jackpots have the same number of actual rounds. It does not have to be.

  Next, FIG. 32 shows gaming machine spec information in the present embodiment. In the figure, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the average earned ball for each jackpot symbol, the average number of revolutions per 100 balls for each gaming state, and the probability variation ratio for each drawing stop symbol. Show. First, in the probable big hit on the first main game side, there are two types of rounds with a ball, “5R” and “15R”. Stops related to “7A”, which will be “15R”, will be lined up (for example, “7, 7, 7”), and will stop related to “1A, 3A, 5A, 9A” where the number of rounds with a ball will be “5R” The symbol is a special symbol (for example, “watermelon” in the middle row). In addition, there are two types of rounds with a ball in the non-probable big hit on the first main game side: “5R” and “8R”. The stop symbols related to “6A”, which will be “8R”, will be the same (for example, “6, 6, 6”), and the stop symbols related to “2A, 4A” where the number of rounds with a ball will be “5R” will be It becomes a special symbol (for example, “watermelon” in the middle row).

  Next, in the probable big hit on the 2nd main game side, the number of rounds with a ball has three types of “4R”, “8R” and “15R”. Stop symbols are aligned (for example, “7, 7, 7”). Next, the number of rounds with a ball in the non-probable big hit on the second main game side is only “4R”. As a stop pattern of the decorative pattern, all the stop patterns are broken (for example, “7, 6. 7 ”).

  Here, the average winning ball in the jackpot related to “6A”, which is the jackpot on the first main game side, which is the jackpot with the same pattern, is 630 balls, and the non-stochastic fluctuation game after the jackpot related to “6A” is finished. The average value of the number of symbol fluctuations that can be executed with the 630 balls that are the game balls acquired in the big hit and is changed to the state and non-time-reduced gaming state is “630 ÷ 100 × 7 = 44.1 times”. (The average number of revolutions per 100 game balls in the non-stochastic game state and the non-time-reduced game state is 7 times). On the other hand, the number of symbol fluctuations that can stay in the limited frequency state A is 30 times, that is, the big hit that becomes the non-probable big hit on the first main game side and the symbols even than the number of fluctuations that can stay in the limited frequency state A (In this example, “6A”), the average value of the number of symbol fluctuations that can be executed with the game balls that can be acquired (can be executed in the non-probability fluctuation game state and the non-time reduction game state) is larger. . Because of this configuration, even if the player wins the jackpot related to “6A” and shifts to the limited frequency state A after the jackpot ends, the game ball won by the jackpot related to “6A” Thus, the game can be continued until the limited frequency state A ends. Further, in the present embodiment, when the big win on the first main game side is won, the special symbol has a big hit where the special symbol stops and a big hit where the symbols are aligned. As shown in the figure, the average number of balls earned by jackpots with a uniform pattern is “(1890 × 520 (random number for which the number of rounds with a ball is 15R)” + 1010 × 200 (number of rounds with a ball is 8R) Random number that is a big hit of)) ÷ 720 (the total number of rounds with a round of 15R big hit and 8R big hit) = 1646 " Is "630 (all with rounds and the number of rounds is a big hit with 5R)". More than that. The jackpot at which the special symbol stops is a jackpot related to the limited frequency B transition jackpot symbol described above.

  In addition, in the big hit where the special symbol on the first main game side stops, the ratio of shifting to the probability variation gaming state after the big hit ends is “(48 + 48 + 17 + 17) ÷ 280 × 100 = 46.43%”, and the first main game The ratio of transition to the probability-variable gaming state after the big hit is “520 ÷ 720 × 10 = 72.22%” in the big hit that becomes the symbol match on the side, and the special hit on the first main game side stops There is a higher ratio of transitioning to the probability-variable gaming state after the big hit than the big hit that is the symbol alignment on the first main game side. The average winning ball shown in the figure is the value obtained by subtracting the game ball fired by the player during the big hit from the number of prize balls (the number of game balls to be paid out) due to the game balls entering the big prize opening ( The number of game balls with a net increase in jackpot). It should be noted that the ratio of transition to the probability-changing gaming state after the jackpot is ended regardless of the stop pattern of the decorative symbol is “(48 + 48 + 17 + 520 + 17) ÷ 1000 × 100 = 65%”.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the rate of increase or decrease of the game ball can be increased by setting the rate of transition to the probability varying gaming state after the end of the big hit in the case of winning the big hit, to 65%. It was constructed as a user-friendly gaming machine by preventing it from becoming too fast. In addition, there are two types of jackpot symbols, a set of symbols and a special symbol, as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol at the time of winning the big hit on the first main game side, and a special symbol that is a stop symbol that does not have three identical decorative symbols stops The ratio of transition to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the jackpot is set to 46.43%, and the proportion of transition to the probability variation gaming state after the termination of the jackpot where the symbol matching that is a stop pattern in which three identical decorative symbols are aligned By setting the rate to 72.22%, when a big hit is executed with the symbol set clearly recognizing that the player has won the big hit, the rate of transition to the probability-variable gaming state after the actual big hit ends At a rate of 72.22%, which is higher than a certain 65%, the game will shift to a probability-variable gaming state after the jackpot ends, and it will be configured as a user-friendly gaming machine and the jackpot will end It can be configured so that the does not feel low transition rate to the probability change gaming state.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a stay stage display image diagram 2 in this example. In the same figure, an example of a scenario production effect different from the present embodiment that can be applied to the pachinko gaming machine of this example is illustrated. In the same figure, in the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state, the case where the scenario effect is executed by winning the limited frequency B transition jackpot symbol and the probability variation jackpot symbol “3A” is illustrated. ing. First, the symbol variation related to “3A” is executed, and the special symbol is stopped in the middle row as the stop symbol of the decorative symbol related to the symbol variation. After that, a special game related to “3A” is executed, and as an effect during the special game, a “probable variation stage” is displayed as the special jackpot effect display during the special game (non-stochastic variation in which the current game state is a probability variation game state). It is informed that the game will be shifted to a stay stage in which the player is told whether it is in a gaming state. Thereafter, the special game related to “3A” ends, the next symbol variation starts at the “probability variation stage”, and a battle with the boss character is executed as a scenario effect in the “probability variation stage”. In this variation, a moving image in which the hero attacks the boss character and the life of the boss character is reduced is displayed. In the figure, a scenario effect executed over 10 variations is used to notify that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state when the life of the boss character becomes 0. After that, since there is no hold on the first main game side and no hold on the second main game side, the symbol variation is not executed. Also, the effect is executed in the effect mode based on the effect executed in each symbol variation so as not to interrupt the effect (moving image) executed in each symbol variation during the scenario effect execution. Here, the effect mode based on the effect executed by each symbol variation is (1) the effect executed by each symbol variation is the same as the background effect, and (2) the effect executed by each symbol variation. And (3) It is good also as production aspects, such as displaying and taking over the progress stage (for example, the remaining life of a boss character) of the production performed by each symbol fluctuation. In the figure, the remaining life of the boss character is displayed and “super superiority !!” is displayed.

  After that, when the first main game side is put on hold, the symbol variation is executed, and in the final variation of the scenario production after 9 variations, the hero attacks the boss character, and the boss character's life becomes zero. A moving image is displayed. Thereafter, with the same variation, it is notified that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state, such as “Probability change confirmed!”, And the “Probability variation stage” ends. Thereafter, the stay stage becomes the “special day stage”, and a probability change notification display “probably changing!” Is displayed. In this way, in this example, the scenario effect may be a moving image in which the character is constantly moving, and may be an effect mode that progresses as the symbol variation elapses. Even when configured, it is desirable to execute an effect that does not interrupt the effect during the symbol variation in a situation where the symbol variation is not performed because there is no hold. In addition, in the same figure, the case where “3A” which is a limited frequency B transition big hit symbol and a probable variation big hit symbol is illustrated is exemplified, but the limited frequency B transition big hit symbol and a non-probable variable big hit symbol “2A · 4A” are exemplified. When winning, the final variation of the limited frequency state B (the final variation of the scenario production) will be notified that the current gaming state is a non-stochastic variation gaming state, such as “Sorry ...”. It is configured.
