  When the second grand prize opening detection switch 17a detects the entry of a game ball, the number of game balls that enter the second big prize opening 17 is counted, and a predetermined prize ball (for example, 14 balls) is counted. Game balls). In addition, when the specific area detection switch 18a detects the passage of the game ball, as will be described later, the game state shifts to the high probability gaming state after the big hit.

  The sorting device is moved by the specific area sorting solenoid 18b, and the first movable mode allows the game ball to pass through the specific area, and the second movable mode allows the game ball to pass through the specific area. It becomes impossible and the game ball passes through the non-specific area.

  Further, the distribution device (not shown) is configured as a movable bridge that can move with one side of the specific area as a fulcrum, and if the game ball can pass over the movable bridge, the game ball will pass into the specific area. Therefore, if the game ball cannot pass over the movable bridge (if it falls), the game ball will pass to the non-specific area.

  Furthermore, in the lowermost area of the game area 6, all of the general winning opening 12, the first starting opening 14, the second starting opening 15, the first major winning opening 16 and the second major winning opening 17 are entered.

  The first special symbol display device 20 provided outside the game area 6 of the game board 2 displays the lottery result of the jackpot lottery performed when the game ball enters the first start port 14 as a special. It notifies as a symbol, and is composed of a plurality of lighting members composed of LEDs or the like. The special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is not immediately notified, but is displayed in a variable manner (flashing) for a predetermined time and then stopped (lit).

  The second special symbol display device 21 is for notifying the lottery result of the jackpot lottery performed as a special symbol when a game ball enters the second starting port 15 as a special symbol, and its function is This is the same as the first special symbol display device 20.

  Moreover, the 1st special symbol display apparatus 20 and / or the 2nd special symbol display apparatus 21 can be comprised also by 7 segment LED. For example, “7” may be stopped and displayed when the jackpot is won, and “−” may be stopped and displayed when the player is lost.

  Here, the “big hit lottery” means that when a game ball enters the first start port 14 or the second start port 15, a special symbol determination random value is acquired, and the acquired special symbol determination random value is This is a process for determining whether the random value corresponds to “big hit”.

Further, in this embodiment, “big hit” means that a right to win a big hit game is obtained in a big win lottery performed on condition that a game ball has entered the first start port 14 or the second start port 15 Say what you did. In the “hit game”, a round game in which the first big prize opening 16 or the second big prize opening 17 is opened is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, four times or sixteen times). A predetermined time is set for the maximum opening time of the first grand prize port 16 or the second grand prize port 17 in each round game, and during this time, the first grand prize port 16 or the second grand prize port 17 is set. When a predetermined number of game balls (for example, nine) enter, one round game is completed. In other words, the “big hit game” is a game in which a game ball can enter the first grand prize winning opening 16 or the second big winning prize opening 17 and the player can acquire a winning ball according to the winning prize.
This jackpot game is provided with a plurality of types of jackpots, which will be described in detail later.

  Also, if a game ball enters the first start port 14 or the second start port 15 during a special symbol change display or a special game, which will be described later, and if the big hit lottery cannot be performed immediately, Originally, the right to win the jackpot is held.

  More specifically, a special symbol determination random number value or the like acquired when a game ball enters the first start opening 14 is stored as the first hold, and the game ball enters the second start opening 15. The special symbol determination random number or the like acquired from time to time is stored as the second hold. For both of these holds, the upper limit hold number is set to 4, and the hold number is displayed on the first special symbol hold indicator 23 and the second special symbol hold indicator 24, respectively.

  When there is one first hold, the leftmost LED of the first special symbol hold indicator 23 lights up, and when there are two first holds, the leftmost end of the first special symbol hold indicator 23 The two LEDs turn on. When there are three first holds, three LEDs blink from the leftmost end of the first special symbol hold indicator 23 and the right LED is lit. When there are four first holds, the first Four LEDs are lit from the leftmost end of the special symbol hold indicator 23. In addition, on the second special symbol hold indicator 24, the number of hold of the second hold is displayed in the same manner as described above.

(Description of gaming state)
Next, the gaming state when the game progresses will be described. In the present embodiment, there are a “low probability gaming state” and a “high probability gaming state” as states related to the jackpot lottery, and a “non-short-time gaming state” as a state regarding the starter movable piece 15b included in the second starting port 15. “Time-short game state”. The states related to the jackpot lottery (low probability gaming state, high probability gaming state) and the states relating to the startable movable piece 15b (non-short-time gaming state, short-time gaming state) can be associated with each other or can be made independent. it can. That means
(1) The case of “low probability gaming state” and “short time gaming state”;
(2) “Low probability gaming state” and “non-temporary gaming state”
(3) “High probability gaming state” and “short time gaming state”
(4) It is possible to provide a “high probability gaming state” and a “non-temporary gaming state”.
Note that the gaming state when the game is started, that is, the initial gaming state of the gaming machine 1 is a “low probability gaming state” and is set to a “non-short-time gaming state”. Is referred to as a “normal gaming state”.

  In the present embodiment, the “low probability gaming state” means that in the jackpot lottery performed on the condition that a game ball has entered the first starting port 14 or the second starting port 15, the winning probability of the jackpot is, for example, 1 / 399 refers to a gaming state set low. On the other hand, the “high probability gaming state” refers to a gaming state in which the jackpot winning probability is improved as compared with the low probability gaming state, and the jackpot winning probability is set as high as 1/57, for example. Therefore, in the “high probability gaming state”, it is easier to win a jackpot than in the “low probability gaming state”.

  In order to shift from the low probability gaming state to the high probability gaming state, it is a condition that the game ball passes through a specific area inside the second big prize opening 17 in the “big hit game”. If the game ball passes, the game state shifts to the high probability game state after the jackpot game ends.

  In the present embodiment, “non-short-time gaming state” means that in the normal symbol lottery performed on condition that the game ball has passed through the normal symbol gate 13, the average variation time of the normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result is “ It means a gaming state that is set longer than the “short-time gaming state” and that the opening time of the second start port 15 when winning in the win is easily set. For example, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol gate 13, the normal symbol lottery is performed, and the normal symbol display device 22 displays the fluctuation of the normal symbol. Stop display after 2 seconds. If the lottery result is a win, the second start port 15 is controlled to open for 0.2 seconds after the stop display of the normal symbol.

  On the other hand, the “short-time gaming state” means that in the normal symbol lottery performed on the condition that the game ball has passed through the normal symbol gate 13, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result is “non- The game state is set to be shorter than the “short-time gaming state” and is set to be longer than the “non-short-time gaming state”, for example, 3 seconds when the opening time of the second start port 15 when winning is won. Further, in the “non-short game state”, the probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery is set as low as 1/16, for example, and in the “short time game state”, the probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery is, for example, 15/16. And set high. Therefore, in the “short-time gaming state”, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol gate 13, the second start port 15 is more easily controlled to the open mode than in the “non-short-time gaming state”. Thereby, in the “short-time gaming state”, the player can advance the game without consuming the game ball.

  In the embodiment, the “short-time gaming state” is set so that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, the opening time of the second start port 15 and the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery are more advantageous than the “non-short-time gaming state”. Has been. However, the “short-time gaming state” may be set so that only one of the normal symbol variation time, the opening time of the second start port 15 and the normal symbol lottery win probability is advantageous.

In the 15th R, the first big win game for opening and closing the second big prize opening opening / closing door 17b can be executed in the second opening mode in which the second big winning opening 17 is opened for a maximum of 29 seconds.

  In the first big win game, when a predetermined number (7) of game balls wins the first big winning opening 16 or the second big winning opening 17 before the maximum opening time of one round passes, One round of game will end. The same applies to the second jackpot game and the third jackpot game.

  Further, according to the second jackpot table shown in FIG. 8 (a), in the 1st round, the first big prize opening 16 is opened in a specific opening manner that repeats 0.052 second opening and 2 second closing three times. The first grand prize opening opening / closing door 16b is opened / closed, and the first big winning opening opening / closing door 16b is opened / closed in the first opening mode in which the first big winning opening 16 is opened for a maximum of 29 seconds from 2R to 14R. The second big winning game for opening and closing the second big prize opening / closing door 17b can be executed in a second opening mode in which the second big prize opening 17 is opened for a maximum of 29 seconds.

  According to the third jackpot table shown in FIG. 8 (a), the first grand prize opening opening / closing door 16b is opened and closed in a first opening mode in which the first big prize opening 16 is opened for a maximum of 29 seconds from 1R to 14R. The third big hit game for opening / closing the second big prize opening opening / closing door 17b can be executed in the third opening mode in which the second big prize opening 17 is opened for a maximum of 0.052 seconds at the 15th round.

  According to the small hit table shown in FIG. 8B, the first big prize opening / closing door 16b is opened in a specific opening mode in which the first big prize opening 16 is repeatedly opened for 0.052 seconds and closed for 2 seconds three times. A small hit game that opens and closes can be executed. However, if a prescribed number (seven) of game balls wins the first big winning opening 16 by three times of release for a maximum of 0.052 seconds, the small hit game ends.

  In the present embodiment, there are provided three types of “big hit games” from the first big hit game to the third big hit game and one type of “small hit game”. In the present embodiment, the “big hit game” and the “small hit game” are collectively referred to as “special game”.

  Here, in the case of the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game, the second big prize opening 17 is opened up to 29 seconds in the 15th round, so that the game ball enters the second big prize opening 17, The entered game ball can pass through the specific area.

  On the other hand, in the case of the third big win game, since the second big prize opening 17 is opened only for a maximum of 0.052 seconds at the 15th round, it is extremely difficult for a game ball to enter the second big prize opening 17. It has become difficult. That is, since the opening time of 0.052 seconds at the maximum of the third big hit game is shorter than the time (about 0.6 seconds) when one game ball is fired as described above, the second big winning opening opening / closing door 17b. Even if is opened, it is extremely difficult to win the second big prize opening 17.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the distribution device in the second grand prize winning port 17 is the first device that allows the game ball to pass through the specific area unless 3 seconds have passed since the 15th R opening. Even if a game ball enters the second grand prize opening 17 during the opening of the second big prize opening 17 for 0.052 seconds in the third big hit game, it is configured so as not to be movable. It is virtually impossible for an incoming game ball to pass through a specific area.

In addition, the second big hit game and the small hit game have data differences in the maximum round game number (R) and the maximum open number (K), the closing interval time and the closing time of the big winning opening at each open number. The first big winning game 16R is opened / closed in a specific opening manner since the first big winning opening / closing door 16b is opened / closed in the same specific opening manner as the small winning game. When operating, the player is configured not to be able to determine whether the game is a second big hit game or a small hit game.
Thus, when the first grand prize winning opening 16 is opened and closed in a specific opening manner, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that it is the second big hit game.

  In the present embodiment, the specific opening mode of the second jackpot game and the specific opening mode of the jackpot game are set to exactly the same opening time (0.052 seconds), and the closing time of the second jackpot game is small. The closing time of the hit game was set to exactly the same closing time (2 seconds). However, the time difference that the player cannot determine whether the game is the second big hit game or the small hit game may be provided without setting the exact same time.

(Special symbol variation pattern determination table)
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern of special symbols as will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the variation pattern determination table includes a special symbol display device (type of start opening), a lottery result of the big hit lottery, a special symbol (stop special symbol data), a reach determination random number value, and a special symbol. Are associated with the number of reserved balls (U1 or U2), the random number for special figure variation, the variation pattern of the special symbol (first variation pattern or second variation pattern), and the variation time of the special symbol.

  Note that the variation pattern of the special symbol of the first special symbol display device 20 triggered by the winning of the game ball at the first start port 14 is referred to as a “first variation pattern”, and the game ball is present at the second start port 15. The variation pattern of the special symbol of the second special symbol display device 21 triggered by winning the prize is referred to as a “second variation pattern”, and the “first variation pattern” and the “second variation pattern” are summarized. This will be referred to as a “variation pattern”.

  It can be said that the “special symbol variation pattern” defines at least the jackpot determination result and the special symbol variation time. In addition, since it is configured to always reach when the jackpot, the reach determination random value is not referred to when the jackpot. The reach determination random number value has a random number range set to 97 (0 to 96), and the special figure variation random value has a random number range set to 100 (0 to 99).

  Further, in the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9, when the number of reserved balls (U1 or U2) of the special symbol increases, the variation pattern 1 (normal variation) is changed so that the average variation time of the special symbol is shortened. The fluctuation time (T2) of the fluctuation pattern 2 (shortening fluctuation) is set to be shorter than the fluctuation time (T1). For example, the fluctuation time (T1) of the fluctuation pattern 1 (normal fluctuation) is set to 12 seconds, and the fluctuation time (T2) of the fluctuation pattern 2 (shortening fluctuation) is set to 3 seconds. Although the maximum number of balls “4” may be stored as the number of reserved balls of the special symbol, the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined after subtracting 1 from the number of reserved balls of the special symbol. Therefore, “4” is not referred to as the number of reserved balls.

  The main CPU 110a refers to the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9, and displays the special symbol display device (type of the start opening), the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, the special symbol to be stopped, the number of special symbol reservation balls (U1 or U2) ), The variation pattern of the special symbol and the variation time of the special symbol are determined on the basis of the reach determination random value and the special symbol variation random value.

  Based on the determined special symbol variation pattern, a special symbol variation pattern designation command is generated, and information on the special symbol variation pattern is transmitted to the effect control board 120.

  Here, the special symbol variation pattern designation command is composed of 1-byte MODE data for identifying the command classification and 1-byte DATA data indicating the content (function) of the command. In the present embodiment, “E6H” of MODE data indicates a variation pattern designation command corresponding to the first variation pattern of the special symbol of the first special symbol display device 20, and “E7H” of MODE data indicates the second special symbol display. The change pattern designation | designated command corresponding to the 2nd change pattern of the special symbol of the apparatus 21 is shown.

Further, in the effect control board 120, as will be described later, the effect contents such as the effect symbol 38 are determined based on the special symbol variation pattern (variation pattern designation command). In the rightmost column of the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9, the contents of the effects such as the effect symbols 38 are described for reference.
As will be described later, the effect control board 120 is configured to determine different types of effect contents even with the same variation pattern (see variation patterns 7 to 11, 24 to 28, etc.).

  Here, as the contents of production, “normal fluctuation” and “shortening fluctuation” mean that a plurality of production symbols 38 fluctuate at high speed and stop without reaching, The shortening variation differs from the shortening variation in that the shortening variation is completed in a shorter variation time than the normal variation.

  In addition, “reach” is a variation mode that gives a player a sense of expectation of a jackpot, such that a part of the combination of the performance symbols 38 for notifying the jackpot is temporarily stopped and other performance symbols 38 vary. Means. For example, when the combination of the three-digit effect symbol 38 of “777” is set as the combination of the effect symbols 38 that notify the jackpot, the two effect symbols 38 temporarily stop at “7” and the remaining effects An aspect in which the pattern 38 is changing. The “temporary stop” refers to an aspect in which the effect design 38 is shown to be stopped by the player as the effect design 38 swings small or the effect design 38 deforms small.

  “Normal reach” means a reach with low expectation of jackpot where two effect symbols 38 temporarily stop and the remaining one effect symbol 38 fluctuates. In the present embodiment, although not big hit by “normal reach”, the big hit may be made by “normal reach”.

  “SP reach” means super reach with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than normal reach. For example, it refers to a mode in which the production symbol 38 that is not temporarily stopped changes specially or a special character is displayed.

  “SPSP reach” means a special reach that is performed after super reach and has a higher expectation of jackpot than super reach.

  “Full rotation reach” means a mode in which a combination of a plurality of effect symbols 38 for notifying of a big hit is changed in a low speed state, and in this embodiment, it is executed only when winning in the big hit lottery. Means reach.

“Pseudo fluctuation” means that during the temporary display of the special symbol corresponding to one big win lottery, the production symbol 38 is temporarily stopped and then displayed again until a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds). This means a variation mode that appears as if "normal variation" was performed a plurality of times.
“Pseudo-variation twice” means a variation mode in which “normal variation” is performed and then one “pseudo-variation” is performed, and it is shown as if two normal variations have been performed. The “pseudo fluctuation three times” means a fluctuation mode in which two “pseudo fluctuations” are performed after the “normal fluctuation” is performed and the pseudo fluctuations are shown as if the three normal fluctuations are performed.

  “Oninokin” means a production mode that mainly accumulates the points of the number of demons. Further, as will be described later, “Oninokki” is composed of “start effect”, “first half effect”, and “second half effect” (see FIG. 28 and the like). Note that the details of “Onino” in this embodiment will be described later with reference to FIGS. 50 and 54.

  The “G zone effect” (hereinafter also referred to as “G zone”) means an effect mode in which a specific background mode is displayed on the image display device 31 and suggests the possibility of shifting to “Oninokki”. doing. In the “G zone effect”, an effect using a cockroach character may be performed together with “shortening pseudo fluctuation”. The “G zone effect” in the present embodiment will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 29 and 53.

  Here, “shortened pseudo fluctuation” means that during the temporary display of the special symbol corresponding to one lottery lottery, the effect symbol 38 is temporarily stopped and then again briefly (for example, 1 to 3 seconds). This means a variation mode in which the above-mentioned “shortening variation” is displayed in a pseudo manner as if it has been performed a plurality of times, and the variation time of “pseudo variation” is extremely short.

  “Chance eye effect” means whether or not the temporarily stopped effect symbol 38 is destroyed when all effect symbols 38 are temporarily stopped with a predetermined symbol combination (for example, 3, 5, 7). This means the production mode.

(Pre-judgment table for jackpot lottery)
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a prior determination table for determining in advance the results of the big hit lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the pre-determination table includes a special symbol display device (type of start opening), a special symbol determination random number value, a jackpot symbol random number value, a reach determination random number value, and a special symbol variation random number. The numerical value and start winning information (first start winning information or second start winning information) are associated with each other.

  The starting winning information of the first special symbol display device 20 triggered by the winning of the game ball at the first starting port 14 is referred to as “first starting winning information”, and the gaming ball wins at the second starting port 15. The start winning information of the second special symbol display device 21 that is triggered by this is referred to as “second start winning information”. The “first start winning information” and the “second start winning information” are collectively expressed as “ This will be referred to as “start winning information”.

Here, it is possible to determine in advance whether it is a “big hit”, “small hit”, or “losing” by using a special symbol determination random number value acquired when the game ball enters the start opening, and specially by using a big hit symbol random value The type of game and the presence / absence of transition to a high-probability gaming state can also be determined in advance.
Furthermore, since the reach determination randomness value and the special figure variation random value can determine the contents of the presentation (whether the occurrence of reach, the type of reach), etc. in advance, the start prize information (DATA of the start prize information designation command) In this case, it is possible to determine information on the type of jackpot and the contents of the production (scheduled variation pattern).

  The main CPU 110a refers to the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 10, and displays a special symbol display device (type of start port), a special symbol determination random number value, a jackpot symbol random number value, a reach determination random number value, and a special symbol variation random number. Based on the numerical value, “start winning information” is determined. Then, based on the determined start prize information, a start prize information designation command for determining in advance the result of the jackpot lottery is generated.

  This start winning information designation command is composed of 1-byte MODE data for identifying the command classification and 1-byte DATA data indicating the content (function) of the command. In the present embodiment, “E8H” of MODE data indicates a start winning information designation command corresponding to first start winning information triggered by a game ball winning at the first starting port 14, and “E9H” of MODE data. Indicates a start winning information designation command corresponding to the second starting winning information triggered by the game ball winning at the second starting port 15.

The prior determination table shown in FIG. 10 is similar to the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. However, the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 10 is used when the game ball enters the start opening, whereas the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9 is different when the special symbol variation start is used. ing. In addition, it is also different whether or not “the number of reserved balls” is referred to.
For this reason, in the prior determination table shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to determine the type of jackpot or reach, but it is impossible to determine only “normal fluctuation” and “shortening fluctuation” (see “ Refer to “Starting winning information 1”).

In addition, the advance determination table shown in FIG. 10 is a jackpot lottery preliminary determination table referred to in the low-probability gaming state. It is stored in the main ROM 110b.
Note that the jackpot lottery preliminary determination table referred to in the high-probability gaming state is configured in the same manner as the preliminary determination table shown in FIG. 10, but the “big hit”, “small hit”, and “losing” are set in advance. The value of the random number for special symbol determination for determining the difference is different.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a table relating to the normal design and the starting movable piece 15 b of the second starting port 15. Specifically, FIG. 11A is a diagram showing a hit determination table used for the normal symbol lottery, and FIG. 11B determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery. It is a figure which shows the stop symbol determination table to do. Further, FIG. 11C is a variation time determination table for determining the variation time of the normal symbol, and FIG. 11D is for determining the opening mode of the starting movable piece 15b when the normal symbol lottery is won. It is a figure which shows the starting port open | release mode determination table.

(Normal symbol lottery determination table)
As shown in FIG. 11A, in the hit determination table, presence / absence of a short-time gaming state, a normal symbol determination random number value, and a normal symbol lottery result are associated with each other.

  The main CPU 110a refers to the winning determination table shown in FIG. 11A, and determines whether it is “winning” or “lost” based on the current short-time gaming state and the acquired random number for normal symbol determination. .

  For example, according to the winning determination table shown in FIG. 11 (a), it is determined that one specific normal symbol random number for determining “0” is a winning when in the non-time-saving gaming state. On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, it is determined that 15 specific random symbols for determining normal symbols from “0” to “14” are hit. If the random number is other than the above, it is determined as “lost”. Accordingly, since the random number range of the normal symbol determination random value is from 0 to 15, the probability of being determined to be hit in the non-short game state is 1/16, and the probability of being determined to be win in the time-short game state is 15/16.

(Normal symbol stop symbol determination table)
As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the stop symbol determination table corresponds to the presence / absence of a short-time gaming state, the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery, the random number value for the normal symbol stop, and the normal symbol (stop normal symbol data) It is attached.

  The main CPU 110a refers to the stop symbol determination table shown in FIG. 11B, and displays a stop display based on the current short-time gaming state, the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery, and the acquired random number for stopping the normal symbol. Determine the normal symbol (stop normal map data).

  Then, the main CPU 110a determines a general symbol designation command as information on the normal symbol on the basis of the determined normal symbol type (stop normal symbol data) at the start of normal symbol variation, and determines the determined common symbol designation command. Is transmitted to the effect control board 120.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), since the opening mode of the starting movable piece 15b is determined by the normal symbol (stop normal pattern data), the type of the normal symbol indicates the opening mode of the starting movable piece 15b. It can be said that it is determined.

(Normal symbol variation time determination table)
As shown in FIG. 11 (c), the fluctuation time determination table correlates the presence / absence of the short-time gaming state, the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery, the random value for the normal symbol time, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol. Yes.

  The main CPU 110a refers to the variable time determination table shown in FIG. 11 (c), and based on the current time-short game state, the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery, and the acquired random number for normal time, the normal symbol Determine the variation time.

  Then, the main CPU 110a determines a normal pattern variation designation command as information on the variation time of the normal symbol based on the determined variation time of the normal symbol at the start of the variation of the normal symbol, Is transmitted to the effect control board 120.

  As a feature of the variation time determination table shown in FIG. 11 (c), the variation time (3 seconds or 5 seconds) of the short-time gaming state is made shorter than the variation time (30 seconds or 40 seconds) of the non-short gaming state. It is configured.

(Starting opening open mode determination table for starting movable piece)
As shown in FIG. 11 (d), the start port opening mode determination table includes stop normal data (ordinary symbol), the maximum number of opening times (S) of the starting movable piece 15 b, the opening time of the starting movable piece 15 b, The closing time of the starting movable piece 15b is associated.

  The main CPU 110a refers to the start port opening manner determination table shown in FIG. 11 (d), and determines the maximum opening number (S), the opening time, the closing time, and the interval time of the starting movable piece 15b based on the stop normal data. decide.

  In the present embodiment, in the start port opening mode determination table shown in FIG. 11 (d), the start port opening mode based on stop common map data = 02 is more advantageous than the start port opening mode based on stop normal map data = 01. The opening mode is an opening mode, and the starting port opening mode based on the stop map data = 03 is an advantageous opening mode than the starting port opening mode based on the stop map data = 02.

  Then, as shown in the random number value for stoppage in the stop symbol determination table in FIG. 11 (b), stop stoppage figure data = 03 which is the most advantageous release mode when selected in the short-time gaming state is selected. Will be. As a result, in the short-time gaming state, the starting movable piece 15b operates more advantageously for the player than in the non-short-time gaming state.

  Next, processing executed by the main CPU 110a in the main control board 110 will be described using a flowchart.

Perform numerical value update processing.

  Specifically, each random number value and random number counter are updated by adding +1. When the added random number counter exceeds the maximum value in the random number range (when the random number counter makes one revolution), the random number counter is returned to 0, and each random number value is newly updated from the initial random number value at that time. .

  In step S130, as in step S30, the main CPU 110a, the initial random number for special symbol determination, the initial random number for jackpot symbol, the initial random value for small bonus symbol, the initial random value for normal symbol determination, the initial random number for normal symbol stop An initial random value update process for updating a random value is performed.

  In step S200, the main CPU 110a performs input control processing. In this process, the main CPU 110a includes the general winning opening detection switch 12a, the gate detection switch 13a, the first starting opening detection switch 14a, the second starting opening detection switch 15a, the first big winning opening detection switch 16a, and the second large winning opening. It is determined whether or not there is an input to the various switches of the detection switch 17a and the specific area detection switch 18a. If there is an input, input control processing for setting predetermined data is performed. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S300, the main CPU 110a performs a special symbol special electric control process for performing a jackpot lottery, a special symbol display control, an opening / closing control of the first grand prize winning port 16 or the second big prize winning port 17, and a game state control. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S400, the main CPU 110a performs ordinary symbol power control processing for performing ordinary symbol lottery, ordinary symbol display control, and opening / closing control of the startable movable piece 15b. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S500, the main CPU 110a performs a payout control process. In this payout control process, the main CPU 110a refers to each prize ball counter, generates payout number designation commands corresponding to various winning ports, and transmits the generated payout number designation commands to the payout control board 130. To do.

  In step S600, the main CPU 110a determines the external information data, the start opening / closing solenoid data, the first big prize opening opening / closing solenoid data, the second big prize opening opening / closing solenoid data, the specific area distribution solenoid data, the special symbol display device data, the normal Data creation processing of symbol display device data and storage number designation command is performed.

  In step S700, the main CPU 110a performs output control processing. In this process, the port for outputting the external information data, start port opening / closing solenoid data, first large winning port opening / closing solenoid data, second large winning port opening / closing solenoid data, specific area distribution solenoid data generated in step S600. Perform output processing.

  In step S700, the main CPU 110a causes the special symbol display device created in step S600 to turn on the LEDs of the first special symbol display device 20, the second special symbol display device 21, and the normal symbol display device 22. Display device output processing for outputting data and normal symbol display device data is performed.

  Further, in step S700, the main CPU 110a also performs a command transmission process for transmitting a command set in the effect transmission data storage area of the main RAM 110c to the effect control board 120. The types of commands transmitted to the effect control board 120 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S800, the main CPU 110a restores the information saved in step S100 to the register of the main CPU 110a.

(Input control processing of main control board)
The input control process of the main control board 110 will be described using FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing input control processing in the main control board 110.

  In step S210, the main CPU 110a performs a general winning opening detection switch input process.

  In this general winning opening detection switch input process, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is input from the general winning opening detection switch 12a. If there is no input of a detection signal from the general winning opening detection switch 12a, the process proceeds to the next step. When a detection signal is input from the general winning opening detection switch 12a, predetermined data is added to and updated in the winning ball counter for the general winning opening, and then the process proceeds to the next step.

  In step S220, the main CPU 110a performs a special winning opening detection switch input process.

  In this special winning opening detection switch input process, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is input from the first large winning opening detection switch 16a or the second large winning opening detection switch 17a. If no detection signal is input from the first big prize opening detection switch 16a or the second big prize opening detection switch 17a, the process proceeds to the next step. When a detection signal is input from the first big prize opening detection switch 16a or the second big prize opening detection switch 17a, predetermined data is added to the prize winning ball counter for the big prize opening and updated. After updating by adding 1 to the large winning opening number of balls (C) storage area for counting the game balls won in the large winning opening 16 or the second large winning opening 17, the process proceeds to the next step.

  In step S230, the main CPU 110a performs a first start port detection switch input process. In this first start port detection switch input process, it is determined whether or not a detection signal from the first start port detection switch 14a has been input, that is, whether or not the game ball has won the first start port 14, and a predetermined value is determined. Set the data. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S240, the main CPU 110a performs a second start port detection switch input process. In the second start port detection switch input process, the same process as the first start port detection switch input process shown in FIG.

  However, as compared with the first start port detection switch input process and the second start port detection switch input process, the data storage areas are different. That is, the first special symbol hold number (U1) storage area in the first start port detection switch input process is replaced with the first special symbol hold number (U2) storage area in the second start port detection switch input process. The first special symbol random value storage area in the mouth detection switch input process is configured in place of the second special symbol random value storage area in the second start port detection switch input process.

If the special symbol variation display is in progress (special symbol time counter ≠ 0), the current special symbol storage determination process is terminated. If the special symbol variation display is not in progress (special symbol time counter = 0), The process moves to step 310-2.

  In step S310-2, when the special symbol is not changing, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area is 1 or more.

  If the main CPU 110a determines that the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area is 1 or more, the main CPU 110a moves the process to step S310-3, and the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area is not 1 or more. In that case, the process proceeds to step S310-4.

  In step S310-3, the main CPU 110a updates by subtracting 1 from the value stored in the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area.

  In step S310-4, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the first special symbol reservation number (U1) storage area is 1 or more.

  When the main CPU 110a determines that the first special symbol reservation number (U1) storage area is 1 or more, the main CPU 110a moves the process to step S310-5, and the first special symbol reservation number (U1) storage area is not 1 or more. In this case, the current special symbol memory determination process is terminated.

  In step S310-5, the main CPU 110a updates by subtracting 1 from the value stored in the first special symbol hold count (U1) storage area.

  In step S310-6, the main CPU 110a performs a shift process on the data stored in the special symbol reservation storage area corresponding to the special symbol reservation number (U) storage area subtracted in steps S310-2 to S310-5. . Specifically, each data stored in the fourth storage unit from the first storage unit in the first special symbol random number storage area or the second special symbol storage area is shifted to the previous storage unit. Here, the data stored in the first storage unit is shifted to the determination storage area (the 0th storage unit). At this time, the data stored in the first storage unit is written in the determination storage area (0th storage unit), and the data already written in the determination storage area (0th storage unit) is stored in the special symbol hold storage. It will be erased from the area. As a result, the special symbol determination random number value, the big hit symbol random number value, the small hit symbol random number value, the reach determination random number value, and the special symbol variation random value used in the previous game are deleted.

  In this embodiment, in steps S310-2 to S310-6, the second special symbol storage area is shifted with priority over the first special symbol random value storage area. The first special symbol random value storage area or the second special symbol storage area may be shifted, or the first special symbol random value storage area may be shifted with priority over the second special symbol storage area. .

  In step S310-7, the main CPU 110a, based on the first special symbol reservation number (U1) storage area or the second special symbol reservation number (U2) storage area subtracted in step S310-2 or step S310-4.

  In step S315, the main CPU 110a sets a special symbol variation time (counter value) based on the variation pattern determined in step S312 in the special symbol time counter. The special symbol time counter is subtracted every 4 ms in step S110.

  In step S316, the main CPU 110a sets variation display data for causing the first special symbol display device 20 or the second special symbol display device 21 to perform special symbol variation display (LED blinking) in a predetermined processing area. . As a result, when the variable display data is set in the predetermined processing area, the LED lighting / extinguishing data is appropriately created in step S600, and the created data is output in step S700. Variation display of the special symbol display device 20 or the second special symbol display device 21 is performed.

(Main control board jackpot determination process)
The jackpot determination process for the main control board 110 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a jackpot determination process in the main control board 110.

  In step S311-1, the main CPU 110a determines that the special symbol determination random number value written in the determination storage area (the 0th storage unit) of the special symbol holding storage area in step S310-6 is “based on the probability gaming state”. It is determined whether or not it is a “big hit” random number value.

  Specifically, when the special symbol holding storage area shifted in step S310-6 is the first special symbol random value storage area, the jackpot determination table of the jackpot lottery shown in FIG. When the special symbol holding storage area shifted in the above step S310-6 is the second special symbol storage area, the special symbol determination is made with reference to the jackpot determination table of the jackpot lottery shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the random value is “big hit”. As a result of the determination, the process proceeds to step S311-2 if it is determined to be a big hit, and the process proceeds to step S311-5 if it is not determined to be a big win.

  In step S311-2, the main CPU 110a determines the jackpot symbol random number value written in the determination symbol storage area (0th storage unit) of the special symbol reservation storage area in step S310-6, and determines the special symbol type ( The stop special symbol data) is determined, and the jackpot symbol determination process for setting the determined stop special symbol data in the stop special symbol data storage area is performed.

  Specifically, referring to the jackpot symbol determination table shown in FIG. 6B, the type of special symbol to be stopped is determined based on the jackpot symbol random number value written in the determination storage area (the 0th storage unit). The stop special figure data to be shown is determined, and the determined stop special figure data is set in the stop special figure data storage area.

  Note that the determined special symbol is used to determine “big hit” or “small hit” in the special symbol stop process of FIG. 20 as will be described later, as well as the big hit game process of FIG. 21 and the small hit of FIG. It is also used to determine the operation mode of the big winning opening in the game process, and is also used to determine the gaming state after the jackpot end in the jackpot game end process of FIG.

  In step S311-3, the main CPU 110a determines an effect symbol designating command based on the jackpot stop special symbol data determined in step S311-2, and the determined effect symbol designating command is stored in the effect transmission data storage area. set.

Specifically, if both the short-time game flag and the high-probability game flag are not set, 00H is set. If the short-time game flag is not set but the high-probability game flag is set, 01H is set. If the short-time game flag is set but the high-probability game flag is not set, 02H is set. If both the short-time game flag and the high-probability game flag are set, 03H is set.

  In this way, apart from the game state storage area (time-short game flag storage area, high-probability game flag storage area), the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is set in the game state buffer. Since the high-probability game flag and the short-time game flag in the state storage area (time-short game flag storage area, high-probability game flag storage area) are reset, after the jackpot ends, based on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot This is because the game state storage area cannot be referred to when determining the game state at the time of the big hit. For this reason, by providing a game state buffer for storing game information indicating the game state at the time of winning the jackpot separately from the gaming state storage area, by referring to the game information in the game state buffer after the end of the jackpot, Based on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot, it is possible to newly set a gaming state after the jackpot (such as a short-time gaming state and a short-time number of times).

  In step S <b> 311-5, the main CPU 110 a determines whether or not it is determined to be a small hit. If it is determined to be a small hit, the process proceeds to step S311-6. If it is not determined to be a small hit, the process proceeds to step S311-8.

  Specifically, when the special symbol holding storage area shifted in step S310-6 is the first special symbol random value storage area, the jackpot determination table of the jackpot lottery shown in FIG. When the special symbol holding storage area shifted in the above step S310-6 is the second special symbol storage area, the special symbol determination is made with reference to the jackpot determination table of the jackpot lottery shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the random number value is “small hit”.

And the small hit symbol determination process for setting the determined stop special figure data in the stop special figure data storage area is performed.

  Specifically, referring to the symbol determination table in FIG. 6C, stop special symbol data indicating the type of special symbol is determined based on the random number value for the small hit symbol, and the determined stop special symbol data is Set in the stop special map data storage area.

  In step S311-7, the main CPU 110a determines an effect symbol designating command based on the stop special symbol data determined in step S311-6, and transmits the determined effect symbol designating command to the effect transmission data storage area. And the current jackpot determination process is terminated.

  In step S311-8, the main CPU 110a refers to the symbol determination table of FIG. 6A to determine a special symbol for loss, and sets the determined stop special data for loss in the stop special symbol data storage area. To do.

  In step S311-9, the main CPU 110a determines an effect symbol designating command based on the stop special map data determined in step S311-8, and the determined effect symbol designating command is stored in the effect transmission data storage area. Set and finish the current jackpot determination process.

Also, in order to open the first grand prize opening / closing door 16b or the second big prize opening / closing door 17b, energization data for energizing the first big prize opening / closing solenoid 16c or the second big prize opening / closing solenoid 17c is set. At the same time, referring to the big winning opening opening determination table (see FIG. 8A) determined in the above step S330-12, based on the current number of round games (R) and the number of times open (K), The opening time of the first grand prize opening 16 or the second big prize opening 17 is set in the special game timer counter.

  In step S340-5, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not K = 1. If K = 1, in order to transmit information on the number of rounds to the effect control board 120, the number of round games ( In response to (R), a grand prize opening (R) round designation command is set in the effect transmission data storage area. For example, since the number of round games (R) is set to “1” and K = 1 at the start of the first round of jackpot, the winning prize opening 1 round designation command is transmitted to the effect transmission data storage area. Set to. On the other hand, if K = 1 is not set, the jackpot game process is terminated without setting the big winning opening (R) round designation command in the effect transmission data storage area. In other words, the case where K = 1 means the start of a round, and therefore, the winning prize opening (R) round designation command is transmitted only at the start of the round.

  In step S340-6, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not it is currently ending. Ending here refers to processing after all preset round games have been completed. Therefore, if it is determined that the current ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S340-18. If it is determined that the current ending is not currently performed, the process proceeds to step S340-7.

  In step S340-7, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the special winning opening is being closed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not energization data for energizing the first big prize opening / closing solenoid 16c or the second big prize opening / closing solenoid 17c is set. As a result, if it is determined that the special winning opening is closed, the process proceeds to step S340-8, and if it is determined that the special winning opening is not closed, the process proceeds to step S340-9.

  In step S340-8, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the closing time set in step S340-10 described later has elapsed. The closing time is set in the special game timer counter in the same manner as the start interval time in step S340-10 to be described later, and is determined by whether or not the special game timer counter = 0. As a result, if the closing time has not elapsed, the jackpot game process is terminated in order to maintain the closing of the big winning opening, and if the closing time has elapsed, the winning opening is opened in step S340- The process is moved to 4.

  In step S340-9, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not an “opening end condition” for ending the opening of the special winning opening is satisfied.

This “opening end condition” means that the value of the winning prize entrance counter (C) has reached a specified number (7), or that the opening time per time in the number of times of opening (K) has elapsed (special Game timer counter = 0).
If it is determined that the “opening end condition” is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S340-10. If it is determined that the “opening end condition” is not satisfied, the current jackpot game process is ended.

  In step S340-10, the main CPU 110a performs a special winning opening closing process.

  In the big prize opening closing process, the first big prize opening opening / closing solenoid 16c or the second big prize opening opening / closing solenoid 17c is energized to close the first big prize opening opening / closing door 16b or the second big prize opening opening / closing door 17b. Stop energization data. Next, referring to the big winning opening opening determination table (FIG. 8A) determined in step S330-12, based on the current number of round games (R) and the number of times open (K), The closing time (closing interval time or one closing time) of the first grand prize opening 16 or the second big prize opening 17 is set in the special game timer counter. As a result, the big prize opening is closed.

  In step S340-11, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not one round has been completed. Specifically, one round is based on the condition that the value of the winning entry entrance counter (C) has reached a specified number (7) or the number of times of opening (K) is the maximum number of times of opening. Since the process ends, it is determined whether or not such a condition is satisfied.

  If it is determined that one round is completed, the process proceeds to step S340-12. If it is determined that one round is not completed, the current jackpot game process is terminated.

  In step S340-12, the main CPU 110a performs a round data initialization process in which 0 is set in the number-of-openings (K) storage area and 0 is set in the number-of-stakes (C) storage area. That is, the number-of-openings (K) storage area and the number of balls received in the big prize opening (C) storage area are cleared. However, the round game number (R) stored in the round game number (R) storage area is not cleared.

  In step S340-13, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the round game number (R) stored in the round game number (R) storage area is the maximum. If the round game number (R) is the maximum, the process proceeds to step S340-15, and if the round game number (R) is not the maximum, the process proceeds to step S340-14.

  In step S340-14, the main CPU 110a adds "1" to the current round game number (R) stored in the round game number (R) storage area and stores it, and performs the current jackpot game process. finish.

  In step S340-15, the main CPU 110a resets the round game number (R) stored in the round game number (R) storage area.

  In step S340-16, the main CPU 110a determines the type of special game (long win game, short win game) based on the big winning opening opening determination table (see FIG. 8A) determined in step S330-12. , A game per development) is determined, and an ending designation command corresponding to the type of the special game is set in the effect transmission data storage area for transmission to the effect control board 120.

  In step S340-17, the main CPU 110a sets the end interval time according to the type of jackpot based on the special winning opening opening determination table (see FIG. 8A) determined in step S330-12 as a special game. Set to timer counter.

  In step S340-18, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the set end interval time has elapsed. If it is determined that the end interval time has elapsed, in step S340-19, the main CPU 110a 4 is set in the special electric processing data, and preparation is made for shifting to the jackpot game end processing shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the end interval time has not elapsed, the current jackpot game process is terminated.

(Main control board jackpot game end processing)
The jackpot game end process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a jackpot game end process in the main control board 110.

In step S350-1, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not “probability preparation data” is set in the main RAM 110c. If it is determined that “probability change preparation data” is set, the process proceeds to step S350-2. If it is determined that “probability change preparation data” is not set, step S350 is executed. The process is transferred to -4.
The “probability change preparation data” is set when a game ball passes through a specific area during the big hit game as described above in step S260.

  In step S350-2, when the “probability change preparation data” is set, the main CPU 110a deletes the set “probability change preparation data” and then stores the high probability flag in the high probability game flag storage area of the main RAM 110c. Set.

In step S350-3, the main CPU 110a sets 104 times to the high probability game number (X) counter of the main RAM 110c.
As a result, the high probability gaming state is maintained until the special symbol variation count reaches 104 after the end of the jackpot game due to the game ball passing through the specific area in the second grand prize winning port 17. become.

  In step S350-4, the main CPU 110a sets a short time game flag in a short time game flag storage area of the main RAM 110c.

In step S350-5, the main CPU 110a sets 100 times as the number of time reduction (J) in the storage time (J) storage area of the main RAM 110c.
Thereby, after all the jackpot games are over, the short-time gaming state is maintained until the number of times the special symbol changes to 100 times.

  In step S350-6, the main CPU 110a confirms the gaming state and sets a gaming state designation command in the effect transmission data storage area.

  In step S350-7, the main CPU 110a sets 0 in the special symbol special processing data, makes preparations for shifting to the special symbol memory determination processing shown in FIG. 17, and ends the current jackpot game end processing.

(Main control board small hit game processing)
The small hit game process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a small hit game process in the main control board 110.

  First, in step S360-1, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not it is currently opening. If it is determined that it is currently opening, the process proceeds to step S360-2. If it is determined that it is not currently opening, the process proceeds to S360-4.

  In step S360-2, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the start interval time determined in step S330-14 has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the special game timer counter = 0, and if the special game timer counter = 0, it is determined that the start interval time has elapsed. As a result, if the start interval time has not elapsed, the current small hit game process is terminated, and if the start interval time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S360-3.

  In step S360-3, the main CPU 110a performs a big prize opening process. Specifically, in this process, the main CPU 110a first adds and stores “1” to the number of times of opening (K) stored in the number of times of opening (K) storage area. In addition, in order to open the first big prize opening 16, energization data for energizing the first big prize opening opening / closing solenoid 16c is set, and the release mode determination table (FIG. 8B) determined in step S330-8. )), The opening time of the first big prize opening 16 is set in the special game timer counter based on the number of times of opening (K).

  In step S360-4, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not it is currently ending. Ending here refers to processing after the game of the preset number of times of opening (K) has been completed. Therefore, if it is determined that the current ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S360-13. If it is determined that the current ending is not currently performed, the process proceeds to step S360-5.

  In step S360-5, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the first big prize winning opening 16 is being closed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not energization data for energizing the first big prize opening opening / closing solenoid 16c is set. If it is determined that the first big prize opening 16 is closed, the process proceeds to step S360-6. If it is determined that the first big prize opening 16 is not closed, the process goes to step S360-7. Move.

  In step S360-6, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the closing time set in step S360-8 described later has elapsed. The closing time is set in the special game timer counter in the same manner as the start interval time in step S360-8, which will be described later, and is determined by whether or not the special game timer counter = 0. As a result, when the closing time has not elapsed, the small hit game process is terminated in order to maintain the closing of the first big winning opening 16, and when the closing time has elapsed, the first big winning opening In order to release 16, the process proceeds to step S 360-3.

  In step S <b> 360-7, the main CPU 110 a determines whether or not an “opening end condition” for ending the opening of the first big winning opening 16 is satisfied.

  This “opening end condition” means that the value of the winning prize entrance counter (C) has reached a specified number (7), or that the opening time per time in the number of times of opening (K) has elapsed (special Game timer counter = 0).

  If it is determined that the “opening end condition” is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S360-8. If it is determined that the “opening end condition” is not satisfied, the present small hit game process is ended.

  In step S360-8, the main CPU 110a performs a special winning opening closing process. Specifically, in this process, the main CPU 110a stops energization data for energizing the first big prize opening / closing solenoid 16c in order to close the first big prize opening 16, and is determined in step S330-8. With reference to the released release mode determination table (see FIG. 8B), the closing time of the first big winning opening 16 is set in the special game timer counter based on the current number of times of opening (K). As a result, the first grand prize winning opening 16 is closed.

  In step S360-9, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the small hit end condition is satisfied. Specifically, one small hit means that the value of the winning prize entrance counter (C) reaches a specified number (for example, 7), or that the number of times of opening (K) is the maximum number of times of opening. Since the process ends, it is determined whether such a condition is satisfied.

  If it is determined that the small hit end condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S360-10. If it is determined that the small hit end condition is not satisfied, the small hit game process is ended.

  In step S360-10, the main CPU 110a sets 0 in the number-of-openings (K) storage area and sets 0 in the number-of-stakes (C) storage area. That is, the number-of-openings (K) storage area and the number of balls received in the big prize opening (C) storage area are cleared.

  In step S360-11, the main CPU 110a sets an ending designation command corresponding to the type of small hits in the effect transmission data storage area in order to transmit to the effect control board 120.

  In step S360-12, the main CPU 110a refers to the release mode determination table (see FIG. 8B) determined in step S330-8 and determines the end interval time according to the type of small hits as a special game timer. Set to counter.

  In step S360-13, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the set end interval time has elapsed. If it is determined that the end interval time has elapsed, in step S360-14, the main CPU 110a When the figure special electric processing data is set to 0, preparation is made to move to the special symbol memory determination process shown in FIG. 17, and when it is determined that the end interval time has not elapsed, the present small hit game process is ended.

(Main figure normal power control processing of main control board)
With reference to FIG. 24, the ordinary power control process will be described. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a general power control process in the main control board 110.

  First, in step S401, the value of the ordinary map electric power processing data is loaded, and the branch address is referenced from the loaded ordinary electric power processing data in step S402. The process is moved to (Step S410), and if the ordinary power / general power process data = 1, the process is moved to the ordinary electric accessory control process (Step S420). Details will be described later with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26.

(Normal design variation processing of the main control board)
The normal symbol variation process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a normal symbol variation process in the main control board 110.

  In step S410-1, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the normal symbol variation display is in progress. If the normal symbol variation display is being performed, the process proceeds to step S410-9, and if the normal symbol variation display is not being performed, the process proceeds to step S410-2.

  In step S410-2, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the normal symbol hold count (G) stored in the normal symbol hold count (G) storage area is 1 or more when the normal symbol fluctuation display is not being performed. To do. When the number of holds (G) is “0”, the normal symbol variation display is not performed, and thus the normal symbol variation process is terminated.

  In step S410-3, when the main CPU 110a determines in step S410-2 that the number of retained ordinary symbols (G) is equal to or greater than “1”, the main CPU 110a stores the number of retained ordinary symbols in the ordinary symbol (G) storage area. A new hold number (G) obtained by subtracting “1” from the stored value (G) is stored.

  In step S410-4, the main CPU 110a performs a shift process on the normal symbol determination random number value stored in the normal symbol hold storage area. Specifically, each random number value stored in the fourth storage unit from the first storage unit is shifted to the previous storage unit. At this time, the random number for normal symbol determination stored in the first storage unit of the normal symbol hold storage area is written to the determination storage area (the 0th storage unit) of the normal symbol hold storage area and is already determined. The random number value written in the (0th storage unit) is normally erased from the symbol reserved storage area.

  In step S410-5, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the normal symbol determination random number value stored in the determination storage unit (the 0th storage unit) of the normal symbol hold storage area is “winning”.

  Specifically, with reference to the hit determination table shown in FIG. 11A, it is determined whether or not the acquired normal symbol determination random number value is checked against the above table. For example, according to the above table, in the non-short-time gaming state, it is determined that one normal symbol determination random value of “0” out of the random numbers from “0” to “15” is the winning, and in the short-time gaming state, If there are, 15 normal symbol determination random values from “0” to “14” out of the random numbers from “0” to “15” are determined to be winning, and the other random numbers are determined to be lost.

  In step S410-6, the main CPU 110a performs a normal symbol determination process with reference to the determination result of the hit determination process in step S410-5.

  This normal symbol determination process refers to the stop symbol determination table shown in FIG. 11 (b), and based on the current short time gaming state, the normal symbol lottery result, and the acquired random number value for normal symbol stop. The normal symbol (stop normal pattern data) to be stopped is determined, and the determined stop normal map data is set in the stop normal map data storage area. Then, the main CPU 110a sets a general map designation command based on the determined stop normal map data in the effect transmission data storage area, and transmits information of the stop normal map data to the effect control board 120.

  In step S410-7, the main CPU 110a performs normal symbol variation time determination processing.

  The normal symbol variation time determination process refers to the variation time determination table shown in FIG. 11C, and shows the current short-time gaming state, the regular symbol lottery result, and the acquired normal symbol time random value. Based on the above, the variation time of the normal symbol is determined. Then, a counter corresponding to the determined variation time of the normal symbol is set in the normal symbol time counter. The normal symbol time counter is subtracted every 4 ms in step S110.

  Furthermore, in the normal symbol change time determination process, after the normal symbol change time is determined, the normal symbol change designation command based on the determined normal symbol change time is set in the transmission data storage area for production. Information on the variation time of the symbol is transmitted to the effect control board 120.

  In step S410-8, the main CPU 110a starts normal symbol variation display on the normal symbol display device 22. The normal symbol variation display is to blink the LED at a predetermined interval in the normal symbol display device 22. This normal symbol variation display is continuously performed for the time set in step S410-7. When this process ends, the current normal symbol variation process ends.

  In step S410-9, when the main CPU 110a determines in step S410-1 that the normal symbol variation display is being performed, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the set variation time has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol time counter = 0. As a result, if it is determined that the set variation time has not elapsed, it is necessary to continue the variation display as it is, and thus the normal symbol variation process is terminated.

  In step S410-10, when the main CPU 110a determines that the set variation time has elapsed, the main CPU 110a stops the variation of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 22. At this time, the normal symbol display device 22 stops and displays the normal symbol (winning symbol or lost symbol) corresponding to the normal symbol data set in the stop normal symbol data storage area in step S410-6. Thereby, the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery is notified to the player.

  In step S410-11, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the normal symbol data set in the stop normal symbol data storage area is a winning symbol. If the normal symbol is a winning symbol, step S410 is performed. The process is shifted to -12, and when the set normal symbol is a lost symbol, the current normal symbol variation process is terminated.

  In step S410-12, the main CPU 110a sets the ordinary power transmission process data = 1, and shifts the processing to the ordinary electric accessory control process.

  In step S410-13, the main CPU 110a performs an opening mode determination process for determining the opening mode of the starting movable piece 15b of the second starting port 15.

  This open time setting process refers to the start port open mode determination table shown in FIG. 11 (d), and based on the stop normal signal data, the maximum number of open times (S) of the start movable piece 15b, the open time, the close time, Determine the interval time.

  In step S410-14, the main CPU 110a sets the opening time of the starting movable piece 15b determined in step S410-13 to the starting opening timer counter of the main RAM 110c.

  In step S410-15, the main CPU 110a starts energizing the start port opening / closing solenoid 15c, and ends the normal symbol variation process this time. As a result, the start movable piece 15b is activated and the second start port 15 is opened.

(Main electric board control processing of the main control board)
The normal electric accessory control process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a normal electric accessory control process in the main control board 110.

  In step S420-1, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not a predetermined maximum number of prizes (for example, 10) has been won in the second starting port 15 during the ordinary electric accessory control process.

  If it is determined that the maximum number of winning (for example, 10) has been won, the process proceeds to step S420-14, and if it is not determined that the maximum number of winning (for example, 10) has been won, step The processing is moved to S420-2.

In step S420-2, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the opening time of the second start port 15 has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the start release timer counter = 0.
If it is determined that the opening time of the second start port 15 has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S420-3, and if it is not determined that the opening time of the second start port 15 has elapsed, the current normal The electric accessory control process is terminated.

  In step S420-3, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the second start port 15 is closed. That is, it is determined whether energization start data is set in the start port opening / closing solenoid 15c.

  If it is determined that the second start port 15 is closed, the process proceeds to step S420-6. If it is determined that the second start port 15 is not closed, the process proceeds to step S420-4. .

  In step S420-4, the main CPU 110a stops energization of the start port opening / closing solenoid 15c. Thereby, the 2nd starting port 15 returns to a closed mode, and it becomes impossible or difficult for a game ball to enter again.

  In step S420-5, the main CPU 110a sets the closing time of the starting movable piece 15b determined in step S410-13 in the starting closing timer counter of the main RAM 110c.

  In step S420-6, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the closing time of the second start port 15 has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the start / close timer counter = 0.

  If it is determined that the closing time of the second starting port 15 has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S420-7, and if it is not determined that the closing time of the second starting port 15 has elapsed, the current normal The electric accessory control process is terminated.

  In step S420-7, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the number of times stored in the start opening number counter of the main RAM 110c has reached the maximum number of opening startable movable pieces 15b determined in step S410-13. .

  If it is determined that the maximum number of releases has been reached, the process proceeds to step S420-14, and if it is determined that the maximum number of releases has not been reached, the process proceeds to step S420-8.

  In step S420-8, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the interval time has started (timed). That is, it is determined in step S420-10 whether or not an interval started flag, which will be described later, is set.

  If it is determined that the interval time has started, the process proceeds to step S420-11, and if it is determined that the interval time has not started, the process proceeds to step S420-9.

  In step S420-9, the main CPU 110a performs an opening number update process of adding 1 to the start opening number counter of the main RAM 110c.

  In step S420-10, the main CPU 110a sets the interval time of the startable movable piece 15b determined in step S410-13 to the start interval timer counter of the main RAM 110c and indicates that the interval time has started. The interval started flag is set in a predetermined storage area of the main RAM 110c, and the current ordinary electric accessory control process ends.

  In step S420-11, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the interval time has elapsed. That is, it is determined whether or not the start interval timer counter = 0.

  If it is determined that the interval time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S420-12. If it is determined that the interval time has not elapsed, the current ordinary electric accessory control process is terminated.

  In step S420-12, the main CPU 110a sets the opening time of the starting movable piece 15b determined in step S410-13 to the start opening timer counter of the main RAM 110c, and clears the interval started flag.

  In Step S420-13, the main CPU 110a starts energizing the start opening / closing solenoid 15c, and ends the current ordinary electric accessory control process. Thereby, the start movable piece 15b is actuated again, and the second start port 15 is opened again.

(Command explanation)
The types of commands transmitted from the main control board 110 to which the description is partially omitted in the flowchart of the main control board 110 to the effect control board 120 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the types of commands transmitted from the main control board 110 to the effect control board 120.

  The command transmitted from the main control board 110 to the production control board 120 is composed of 1-byte data, and 1-byte MODE information for identifying the control command classification and the control command to be executed. And 1-byte DATA information indicating the contents of.

  The “designation designating command” indicates the type of the special symbol that is stopped and displayed, “MODE” is set as “E0H”, and DATA information is set according to the type of the special symbol. Since the special symbol type determines the jackpot type and the high probability gaming state as a result, it can be said that the effect symbol designation command indicates the jackpot type and the gaming state.

  In the effect symbol designation command, when various special symbols are determined and the variation display of the special symbol is started, an effect symbol designation command corresponding to the determined special symbol is transmitted to the effect control board 120. Specifically, when the variation display of the special symbol is started in steps S311-3, S311-7, and S311-9, the effect symbol designation command corresponding to the determined special symbol is transmitted for the effect of the main RAM 110c. Set in the data storage area. Thereafter, the effect designating command set in the effect transmission data storage area in step S700 is immediately transmitted to the effect control board 120.

(Overall production flow)
Next, the outline of the contents of the effects in the present embodiment will be described using the overall effect flow shown in FIG. Note that the overall performance flow shown in FIG. 28 corresponds to the symbol variation effect pattern of the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, the notice effect of the mini character notice determination table shown in FIG. The contents of effects performed when a game ball enters the first start port 14 are illustrated in time series.

  First, when a game ball enters the first starting port 14, the image display device 31 starts to display the variation of the effect symbol 38, and the “reduced variation”, “normal variation” in which the plurality of effect symbols 38 vary at high speed. "Change" or "G zone effect" is performed.

  In many cases, the production ends with “shortening fluctuation” or “normal fluctuation”, but “normal reach” or “pseudo fluctuation” may be performed from some “normal fluctuation”.

  Here, in the “normal fluctuation”, as will be described later, a “cockroach notice” (hereinafter also referred to as “mini-character notice effect”) in which a cockroach is displayed small and an effect using the cockroach is sometimes performed. . The “cockroach notice” performed in this “normal variation” suggests the possibility of shifting to “Oninokki” in the normal variation.

  Further, some “normal reach” may be developed into “SP reach”, and some “SP reach” may be further subjected to “onino-ki”.

In addition, “SP reach” or “Onino” may be performed from “pseudo variation”.
In particular, the present embodiment is configured such that the “no-no-ki” is always performed from “3 times pseudo fluctuation” without going through “SP reach”. It should be noted that “onimoku” may be performed via “SP reach” from “3 times pseudo variation”, or “SP reach” is performed from “3 times pseudo variation”. It may be configured so that the presentation ends.

  The “G zone effect” includes a “G zone change effect” that uses a cockroach character along with a shortened pseudo change, and an “G zone entry effect” that indicates whether or not the transition to the G zone change effect is successful. It is composed of.

  The “G zone entry effect” is performed after the “G zone entry effect” and the G zone change effect, indicating success or failure of the transition to the G zone change effect. The “G zone entry success / failure effect” is composed of the “successful effect” in which the transition to the G zone change effect was successful and the transition to the G zone change effect failed. There is "failure production".

  The “G zone entry effect” in FIG. 28 shows “G zone entry effect” and “success effect”. Although illustration is omitted in FIG. 28, after the “failed effect” of the G zone entry effect is performed, the normal variation is performed, and the effect ends without performing the G zone variation effect. (See symbol effect pattern 4 in FIG. 30).

  Then, after the “successful production” of the G zone entry production is performed, the “G zone fluctuation production” is performed, and after the “G zone fluctuation production” is performed, “SP reach” or “Oninokki” is performed. Will be performed.

  Here, the “G zone rushing effect” of the G zone rush effect may be performed from a change immediately before “the change” (so-called “look-ahead”, hereinafter also referred to as “previous change”). In such a case, in the variation, the “G zone rushing production effect” is continuously performed when the effect design 38 starts the variable display.

Then, as shown in FIG. 28, when the G zone entry effect is started from “the change”, the “G zone entry effect” and the “G zone entry success / failure effect” are performed in “the change”, and G When the zone entry effect is started from “immediate change”, the “G zone entry effect” is performed from the “immediate change” to the “change”, and the “G zone entry success / failure effect” is set in the “change”. Will do.
For this reason, when the G zone entry effect is started from “the change” and when the G zone entry effect is started from the “preceding change”, the effect time of the “G zone entry effect” is different.

  Note that “the change” means that when the effect symbol 38 displays the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, the “G zone change effect” is executed while the special symbol corresponding to the jackpot lottery is displayed. Is a variation display of the effect symbol 38.

  “Oninokki” is composed of “start production”, “first half production” and “second half production”.

  The “starting effect” is composed of an “opening effect” composed of a movie indicating that “oninokki” is started and a “title display effect” displaying the title of “oninokki”.

Here, in this embodiment, when performing “Onino” via “G zone”, “Onino” starts from “Title display effect” without performing “Opening effect”. In the case where “Onino-ki” is performed without going through the “G zone”, “Onino-ki” is started from “Opening effect”.
As described above, “Starting effect” and “Title display effect” are provided in “Oninokki”, and both or only one start effect is performed depending on whether or not “G zone” is passed. Thus, even if the production time is different between the case where the route passes through the “G zone” and the case where the route does not pass through the “G zone”, the start time at which the “first half production” is performed in “Onino” The time can be adjusted so as to be substantially the same. That is, with the same variation pattern, the same performance time (both when “Onino” is performed via “G Zone” and when “Onino” is performed without going through “G Zone”) (Same variation pattern).

The “first half effect” includes a “normal acquisition effect” in which the first character accumulates the number of demons at the first increase rate, and a second character in which the first character is higher than the first increase rate. It is composed of “Ranbu production” that produces an effect of accumulating the number of demons at an increasing rate, and “Ranbu production” may be performed from “Normal acquisition production”.
Here, in the present embodiment, it is configured so that the final number of demons is higher in the case of jackpot than in the case of losing (see FIGS. 32 and 33), and “normal acquisition effect” When “Ranbu Production” is performed, the number of demons is higher and it is easier to accumulate (see FIG. 35). Therefore, when “Ranbu Production” is performed, The degree of expectation to be executed is high.

  In the present embodiment, a “cockroach notice” that may be performed even in “normal fluctuation” may be performed during the “first half production”. The "cockroach notice" performed in this "first stage production" suggests the possibility of shifting to "Ranbu production", and the "cockroach notice" conducted in "normal fluctuation" and "cockroach notice" performed in "first half production". Although the display content is the same as that of the “notice”, the suggested content is different.

The “second half production” includes an “attack production” in which the second character accumulates the number of demons at a predetermined rate of increase, and a movie of a recollection scene of the predetermined character without accumulating the number of demons It consists of a “recollection production” consisting of
Here, in the present embodiment, the predetermined increase rate of the number of demons in the “attack effect” is set to be approximately the same as the first increase rate of the “normal acquisition effect”, but the “normal acquisition effect” May be set higher or lower than the “normal acquisition effect”. Furthermore, the predetermined increase rate of the number of demons in the “attack production” may be set to the same level as the second increase rate of the “random dance production”, which is higher than the second increase rate of the “random dance production”. It may be set.

In the present embodiment, the number of demons is not stored in the “recollection effect”, but the number of demons may be stored.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is possible to shift to “Ranbu Production” only in “Normal Acquisition Production” in “First Half Production”, but also in “Attack Production” in “Second Half Production”. Alternatively, it may be configured to shift to “the same dance performance as the first half production” or “a specific dance performance different from the first production” that accumulates the number of demon powers at a high increase rate.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the “normal acquisition effect”, the “random dance effect”, and the “attack effect”, an effect that accumulates the number of demon powers (hereinafter referred to as “demon power acquisition effect”) is performed. The details of the “demon power acquisition effect” will be described later.

Further, in the present embodiment, when “Onino” is performed via the “G zone”, the specific character (cockroach) used in the “G zone” is also left and displayed in the “first half effect”. If the “second half production” is “attack production”, the specific character (cockroach) used in the “G zone” is deleted after the “attack production” ends, and the “second half production” is used as the “reproduction production”. ", The specific character (cockroach) used in the" G zone "is erased at the start of the" recollection effect ".
As described above, the specific character (cockroach) used in the “G zone” is displayed so as to remain in the “Onino time”, so that it is possible to grasp the circumstances that led to the “Onino time”. it can. This “specific character (cockroach) display mode” will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After “Oninokki” ends, the production branches off according to the number of demons accumulated in “Oninokki”.

  In the present embodiment, if the number of demons is 0 to 7999, any one of “SP reach”, “awakening SPSP reach”, or “extreme SPSP reach” is performed, and if it is 8000 to 9999, “ The production of “Awakening SPSP Reach” or “Extreme SPSP Reach” is performed, and if it is 10,000 or more, “Extreme SPSP Reach” is performed.

  In addition, “Awake SPSP Reach” and “Extreme SPSP Reach” are SPSP Reach with different expectations of jackpot, and “Extreme SPSP Reach” has a higher expectation of jackpot than “Awake SPSP Reach”. Is set to

  Note that the display contents of “G zone entry effect”, “G zone change effect”, “Oninokki”, and “roach notice” will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS.

  In order to execute the contents of the effect as described above, it is based on various commands transmitted from the main control board 110 to the effect control board 120 or an input signal from the effect button detection switch 35a received from the frame control board 180 or the like. The control contents of the effect control board 120 will be described.

  First, details of various tables stored in the sub ROM 120b will be described with reference to FIGS.

(G zone preliminary lottery table)
FIG. 29 is a diagram showing a G zone preliminary lottery table for determining to execute the G zone effect in advance.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the G zone preliminary lottery table, the start winning information designation command, the selection rate (first random number value), and whether or not the G zone effect is won (the effect related to the G zone effect is executed in advance). Presence or absence).

  Here, “selection rate” corresponds to the fact that the acquired first random number value is within a predetermined range with respect to the first random value consisting of the first random number range. , Replaced with selectivity. The same applies to the “selectivity” in the tables shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, 33 to 35, and 37 to 41. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of random number values in different random number ranges are provided, and description of the types of random number values is omitted as appropriate.

In addition, in the G zone preliminary lottery table shown in FIG. 29, the start winning information specifying command corresponding to the jackpot is more easily won in the G zone effect than the starting winning information specifying command corresponding to the loss. .
Furthermore, as the start prize information designation command corresponding to the jackpot, the start prize information designation command corresponding to a fluctuation pattern capable of executing two pseudo fluctuations and the start prize corresponding to a fluctuation pattern capable of executing three pseudo fluctuations The start prize information designation command corresponding to the fluctuation pattern capable of executing three pseudo fluctuations is more than the start prize information designation command corresponding to the fluctuation pattern capable of executing two pseudo fluctuations. The G zone production is easy to win.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is configured so that the G zone effect is won only when it is a “start winning information designation command” corresponding to a variation pattern capable of executing the G zone. Thereby, after winning the G zone effect in advance, the “G zone entry effect” can be executed from the immediately preceding change, and the G zone effect can be continued even in the change.

  Then, when the game ball enters the start opening, the sub CPU 120a of the effect control board 120 refers to the G zone preliminary lottery table shown in FIG. 29, and the start winning information designation command and the selection transmitted from the main control board 110 are selected. Based on the rate (first random value), whether or not the G zone effect is won is determined. When the G zone effect is won, as will be described later, the “G zone flag” is turned ON, and the G zone entry effect (success effect) is determined from the change immediately before the change pattern capable of executing the G zone. Will be executed.

  In the symbol effect pattern determination table 1 shown in FIG. 30 (1), the symbol effect pattern is associated only with the variation pattern designation command corresponding to “normal variation” and “shortening variation” as the variation pattern designation command. Only when the last fluctuation executes “normal fluctuation” and “shortening fluctuation” (when the start winning information of the last fluctuation corresponds to “normal fluctuation” and “shortening fluctuation”), the G zone is entered. This is because the performance (successful performance) is restricted from being executed (see FIG. 46: S1422-4, etc.).

  In the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 (2) and FIG. 31, the change pattern designation command, the previous change (the effect contents of the previous change), the number of demons, the selection rate (second random value), and the symbol effect pattern correspond. It is attached.

  Here, “previous change” means “previous change” (previous change) of the change, and in the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 30 (2) and 31, “previous change”.

The right-hand column of the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 (2) and FIG. 31 shows the “effect composition” of each symbol effect pattern as a time series reference. ing.

  A summary of the “production structure” in the rightmost column corresponds to the overall flow of the production in FIG. 28 described above, and “normal” shown in FIGS. 30 and 31 is an abbreviation of “normal fluctuation”. In other words, “shortening” means an abbreviation of “shortening fluctuation”, and “NR” means an abbreviation of “normal reach”. “SP” means an abbreviation of “SP Reach”, “Awakening SPSP” means an abbreviation of “Awakening SPSP Reach”, and “Extreme SPSP” means an abbreviation of “Extreme SPSP Reach”. ing.

In addition, “煽 1” means both the first half effect indicating that a specific character has appeared and the G zone rushing effect has been started, and the latter half effect in which the specific character performs a predetermined action. “煽 2” means only the production of the latter half in which a specific character performs a predetermined action. In particular, “煽 2” is a specific character following “煽 1”. Means that the performance of performing a predetermined action is continued. That is, “煽 2” means “G zone rushing effect” in “the change” when performing “G zone rushing effect” from “immediate change” to “the change”. “煽 1” and “煽 2” both mean “G zone rushing production”.
Details of this “G zone rush production effect” of the G zone entry effect will be described later with reference to FIG.

“Success” means an abbreviation of “success effect” of the G zone entry effect, and “failure” means an abbreviation of “failure effect” of the G zone entry effect.
Details of the “success effect” of the G zone entry effect will also be described later with reference to FIG.

  Although the “failure effect” is not illustrated, for example, although the effect that the specific character starts to open the screen using a hand is started, the specific character is erased without the screen being torn, and the normal background By displaying the image again, it is informed that the transition to the “G zone variation effect” has failed.

In the present embodiment, as shown in “Production configuration (reference)” in FIGS. 30 and 31, when the “G zone rush production effect” is performed from the “immediate change” to “the change”. Is configured to always perform a “success effect” and execute a “G zone variation effect”.
However, even if the “G zone rushing effect” is performed from the “immediate change” to the “change”, the “failure effect” is performed and the “G zone change effect” is not executed. May be.

  In the present embodiment, in the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 (2) and FIG. 31, the symbol effect pattern for executing “pseudo variation” and the symbol effect pattern for executing “G zone effect” are common. It is configured to be selected from variation patterns. Thereby, the number of variation patterns can be reduced with respect to the number of symbol effect patterns, and the burden on the capacity of the main ROM 110b that stores data relating to the variation patterns can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, in the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 (2) and FIG. 31, if the number of demons is 0 to 7999, “SP reach”, “awakening SPSP reach” or “extreme SPSP”. “Reach” is performed, and if it is 8000 to 9999, “Awakening SPSP reach” or “Extreme SPSP reach” is performed, and if it is 10,000 or more, “Extreme SPSP reach” is performed.

(Mini character notice decision table)
FIG. 39 (1) is a diagram showing a mini character notice determination table 1 (at the time of normal fluctuation) for determining a notice effect pattern that defines the contents of the effect of the mini character notice effect during normal fluctuation. FIG. 39 (2) is a diagram showing a mini character notice determination table 2 (at the time of a normal acquisition effect) for determining a notice effect pattern that defines the contents of the effect of the mini character notice effect at the time of the normal acquisition effect at the time of the demon. is there.

In the mini character notice determination table 1 shown in FIG. 39 (1), a variation pattern designation command, a selection rate (16th random number value), and a mini character notice effect (hereinafter also referred to as “notice effect pattern”) are associated with each other. .
In the mini character notice determination table 2 shown in FIG. 39 (2), the effect scenario determined using the oninokoku effect scenario determination table in FIG. 35, the selection rate (17th random number value), and the mini character notice effect (notice effect). Pattern).

  Here, in the rightmost column of the mini character notice determination table shown in FIG. 39 (1) and FIG. 39 (2), the “effect contents” of each mini character notice effect (notice effect pattern) are illustrated in time series as a reference. ing.

For example, if the notice effect 1 is determined, as the contents of the mini character notice, as shown in FIG. 49 described later, after “one cockroach appears”, as shown in FIG. "Is performed. When the notice effect 2 is determined, as the contents of the mini character notice, as shown in FIG. 49 described later, after “one cockroach appears”, as shown in FIG. 49 (c-1), the cockroach is killed. Production is performed.
Further, if the notice effect 10 is determined, as the contents of the mini character notice, as shown in FIG. 51 described later, after “one cockroach appears”, as shown in FIG. "Is performed. When the notice effect 20 is determined, as the contents of the mini character notice, as shown in FIG. 51 described later, after “one cockroach appears”, as shown in FIG. 51 (b-1), “cockroach dies”. Production is performed.

And in the mini character notice determination table 1 shown in FIG. 39 (1), the variation pattern designation command is shifted to the variation pattern designation command that does not shift to the “Onino time” effect, and the effect “Onino time”, Instead of the fluctuation pattern designation command that shifts to the production of “Oninokki” and the variation pattern designation command that makes a big hit, The change pattern designation command that shifts to the “Oninokki” production is configured to make it easier to determine the notice production that “cockroaches appear”.
Furthermore, the change pattern designation command that shifts to the “Oninocho” production and hits the jackpot is more noticeable than the change pattern designation command that shifts to the “Oninoki” production and loses. The production is easily determined.

  In the mini character notice determination table 2 shown in FIG. 39 (2), the “demon-notch production scenario” is divided into a production scenario that shifts to “Ranbu production” and a production scenario that does not shift to “Ranbu production”. The production scenario that shifts to “Ranbu production” is more easily determined than the production scenario that does not move to “Ranbu production”.

  Here, when the sub CPU 120a receives the variation pattern designation command from the main control board 110, the sub CPU 120a refers to the mini character notice determination table 1 shown in FIG. 39 (1), and receives the variation pattern designation command and the selection rate (16th disturbance). Based on (numerical value), the mini character notice effect (notice effect pattern) is determined.

  Further, when the production scenario of “Oninokino” is determined, the sub CPU 120a, based on the decided production scenario of “Oninokino” and the selection rate (the 17th random number value), the mini character notice production ( The notice effect pattern) is determined.

  In addition, although the appearance of cockroaches is “1” or “3” as the contents of the mini character notice shown in FIG. 39 (1) and FIG. 39 (2), it may be “2”, As a direction in which cockroaches appear on the screen, a pattern of effect contents such as “from the left end of the screen” or “from the right end of the screen” may be included.

(G zone variation production determination table)
FIG. 40 is a diagram for determining the G zone variation effect (hereinafter also referred to as “G zone effect pattern”) that defines the content of effects related to the number of shortened pseudo variations of the effect symbol 38, cockroach display, etc. in the “G zone variation effect”. It is a figure which shows the G zone fluctuation | change effect determination table.

  In the G zone variation effect determination table shown in FIG. 40, the symbol effect pattern determined using the symbol effect pattern determination table in FIG. 30 or 31, the selection rate (18th random number value), and the G zone variation effect (G Zone effect pattern).

  Here, in the right column of the G zone variation effect determination table shown in FIG. 40, “effect contents” of the G zone variation effect (G zone effect pattern) are illustrated in time series as a reference.

“The number of changes” in the “effect pattern variation mode” means, as shown in FIG. 53 described later as an example of the effect, the number of shortened pseudo-variations of the effect symbol 38 in the “G zone change effect”. "Means one variation time in the shortened pseudo variation.
For example, when “G zone variation effect 1” is determined, the variation time of the shortened pseudo variation of one effect symbol 38 is set to “2 seconds” in “G zone (within 16 seconds)”. A total of “8 times” of pseudo-variation will be executed.

The “background color” in the “background mode” means the color of the background image in the “G zone variation effect”, and “when the background is switched” means the timing at which the color of the background image changes.
For example, when “G zone variation effect 6” is determined, “blue” is initially displayed as the background color while “10 times” shortened pseudo variation in “G zone variation effect” is executed. When it is executed and the shortened pseudo fluctuation becomes the sixth time, it is changed from “blue” to “red”.

In addition, the “cockroach display count” is an effect design 38 in which a cockroach character jumps while a shortened pseudo change is executed, as shown in FIG. 53 described later as an example of the “G zone change effect”. Means the number of times it is displayed.
For example, when the “G zone variation effect 1” is determined, the effect symbol 38 in which the character cockroach jumps while the “8 times” shortened pseudo variation in the “G zone” is executed. Of the “eight times”, “5 times” is displayed.

Here, in the G zone variation effect determination table shown in FIG. 40, the symbol effect pattern is a symbol effect pattern that is not executed for the “Oninokki” effect among the symbol effect patterns that execute the G zone change effect, and “ It is divided into the pattern production pattern that is executed for the production of “Oninokki”, and the pattern production pattern that is executed for the production of “Oninokki” is more than the design production pattern that is not executed for the production of “Oninokki”. It is configured such that the G zone fluctuation effect in which the number of fluctuations of shortened pseudo fluctuations and the number of times of cockroach display are large and the color of the background image changes is easily determined.
Furthermore, as the symbol effect pattern executed for the effect of “Oninokki”, the symbol effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern capable of executing the pseudo variation twice and the symbol corresponding to the variation pattern capable of executing the pseudo variation three times. The pattern production pattern corresponding to the variation pattern capable of executing three pseudo fluctuations is shorter than the pattern production pattern corresponding to the variation pattern capable of executing two pseudo fluctuations. A G zone variation effect in which the number of fluctuations and the number of cockroach display times are large and the color of the background image changes is easily determined.
In the present embodiment, since the variation pattern that can execute three pseudo variations has a higher expectation of jackpot than the variation pattern that can perform two pseudo variations, the color of the background image is “blue”. In the case of “red”, the expectation of jackpot is higher than in the case of.

  When the sub CPU 120a receives the variation pattern designation command from the main control board 110, the sub CPU 120a determines the symbol effect pattern with reference to the symbol effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 or FIG. 31, and then the G zone variation effect shown in FIG. By referring to the determination table, the G zone variation effect (G zone effect pattern) is determined based on the determined symbol effect pattern and the selection rate (18th random number value).

  An example of “effect pattern change mode” and “cockroach display count” in the G zone change effect determination table shown in FIG. 40 will be described later with reference to FIG.

(Cockroach display mode determination table)
FIG. 41 is a diagram for determining the display effect of cockroaches jumping on the effect symbol 38 in which the shortened pseudo change is performed in the “G zone change effect” (hereinafter also referred to as “G display effect” or “display mode pattern”). It is a figure which shows a cockroach display mode determination table.

  In the cockroach display mode determination table shown in FIG. 41, the number of cockroach display times and the number of shortened pseudo fluctuations (the number of fluctuations in the effect symbol) determined using the G zone fluctuation effect determination table in FIG. (Numerical value) and a cockroach display effect (G display effect, display mode pattern) are associated with each other.

  Here, in the right column of the cockroach display mode determination table shown in FIG. 41, the “effect contents” of the G display effect are illustrated in time series as a reference, and during the temporary stop of the effect symbol 38 in the shortened pseudo variation, Cases where cockroaches are displayed are indicated by “●”.

  For example, when “G display effect 1” is determined, among the number of times “8 times” of the effect symbol variation, “first” is a state in which cockroaches jumped at the temporary stop of the middle symbol of the three effect symbols 38 "3rd" is displayed with the cockroach jumped during the temporary stop of the left symbol, "5th" is displayed with the cockroach jumped during the temporary stop of the right symbol, and "7th" is the middle If the cockroach jumps at the time of the temporary stop of the symbol, “8th” is displayed with the cockroach jumping at the temporary stop of the right symbol. This shortens the pseudo fluctuation.

  As described above, there are cases in which cockroaches are displayed for each number of fluctuations of the effect symbol 38 in the shortened pseudo-variation, and for each temporary stop of the effect symbols 38 of the left, right, and middle symbols. Will be displayed, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  An example of “G display effect” in the cockroach display mode determination table shown in FIG. 41 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1000, the sub CPU 120a performs an initialization process. In this process, the sub CPU 120a reads the main processing program from the sub ROM 120b and initializes and sets a flag stored in the sub RAM 120c in response to power-on.

  In step S1100, the sub CPU 120a performs a sub random number update process. In this process, the sub CPU 120a performs a process of updating various random number values (the first random number value to the 19th random number value, etc.) stored in the sub RAM 120c. Thereafter, the process of step S1100 is repeated until a predetermined interrupt process is performed.

(Timer interrupt processing of the production control unit 120m)
The timer interrupt process of the effect control unit 120m will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 43 is a diagram illustrating timer interrupt processing in the effect control unit 120m. Although not shown, a clock pulse is generated every predetermined period (2 milliseconds) by a reset clock pulse generation circuit provided in the effect control unit 120m, and a timer interrupt processing program is read, and the effect control unit A 120 m timer interruption process is executed.

  In step S1300, the sub CPU 120a saves the information stored in the register of the sub CPU 120a to the stack area.

  In step S1400, the sub CPU 120a performs command analysis processing. In this process, the sub CPU 120a performs a process of analyzing a command stored in the reception buffer of the sub RAM 120c. A specific description of the command analysis processing will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  When the effect control unit 120m receives a command transmitted from the main control board 110, a command reception interrupt process of the effect control unit 120m (not shown) occurs, and the received command is stored in the reception buffer. Thereafter, the received command is analyzed in step S1400.

  In step S1500, the sub CPU 120a performs timer update processing for updating various timer counters used in the effect control unit 120m.

  In step S1700, the sub CPU 120a determines whether or not the signals of the effect button detection switch 35a and the cross key detection switch 36b are input via the frame control board 180, and when the signals of the effect button detection switch 35a and the like are input. The effect input control process for transmitting the effect button signal or the like to the image control unit 150 is performed.

  In step S1800, the sub CPU 120a performs data output processing for transmitting various commands set in the transmission buffer of the sub RAM 120c to the frame control board 180 and the image control unit 150.

  In step S1900, the sub CPU 120a restores the information saved in step S1810 to the register of the sub CPU 120a.

(Command analysis process of effect control unit 120m)
The command analysis process of the effect control unit 120m will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 44 is a diagram showing command analysis processing 1 in the effect control unit 120m. FIG. 45 is a diagram showing command analysis processing 2 in the effect control unit 120m. The command analysis process 2 in FIG. 45 is performed subsequent to the command analysis process 1 in FIG.

In step S1401, the sub CPU 120a checks whether there is a command in the reception buffer, and checks whether the command has been received.
Then, if there is a command in the reception buffer, the sub CPU 120a moves the process to step S1410. On the other hand, if there is no command in the reception buffer, the sub CPU 120a ends the current command analysis processing.

In step S1410, the sub CPU 120a checks whether or not the command stored in the reception buffer is a special symbol storage designation command.
If the command stored in the reception buffer is a special symbol storage designation command, the sub CPU 120a moves the process to step S1411. On the other hand, if the command stored in the reception buffer is not a special symbol storage designation command, the sub CPU 120a moves the process to step S1420.

  In step S1411, the sub CPU 120a analyzes the reserved memory number from the special symbol memory designation command, and performs a reserved memory update process for setting the analyzed reserved memory number in the reserved memory number counter of the sub RAM 120c.

In step S1420, the sub CPU 120a determines whether or not the command stored in the reception buffer is a start winning information designation command.
If the command stored in the reception buffer is a start winning information designation command, the sub CPU 120a moves the process to step S1421. On the other hand, if the command stored in the reception buffer is not the start winning information designation command, the sub CPU 120a moves the process to step S1430.

  For example, when the number of production demons is “4700” and the division scenario 1 is determined, the number of production demons corresponding to each production block is “235”, “470”, “705”, It is divided into the number of production demon powers of “940”, “235”, “470”, “705”, and “940”. Then, the number of demon powers for production “235” corresponding to the first production block and “235” in the first production block storage area are stored, and the number of production demon powers “470” corresponding to the second production block. , “470” is stored in the second effect block storage area, the demon power “705” for the effect corresponding to the third effect block is stored, and “705” is stored in the third effect block storage area. The effect demon power “940” corresponding to the effect block is stored in the fourth effect block storage area, and the effect demon power “235” corresponding to the fifth effect block is stored in the fifth effect block. “235” is stored in the effect block storage area, the demon power “470” corresponding to the sixth effect block is stored, “470” is stored in the sixth effect block storage area, and the seventh effect block is stored. Corresponding demon power for production “7 5 ”,“ 705 ”is stored in the seventh effect block storage area, the demon power“ 940 ”corresponding to the eighth effect block is stored, and“ 940 ”is stored in the eighth effect block storage area. It is in.

  Here, if there is a remainder of the decimal point in the production demon power divided by the division ratio of the demon power associated with the division scenario, the decimal point is rounded down, and the production corresponding to the truncated decimal point is performed. The demon power number is added to the remaining demon power number storage area of the sub RAM 120c and stored.

  Further, in this effect oni-game power division process, when the change pattern designation command corresponds to a loss (when it is determined that the game has been lost in the jackpot lottery), the divided effect oni-power is determined as above. (3333 etc.) is determined, and if it falls under the above-mentioned definite eye, 1 is subtracted from the number of demonstration demon powers, and the subtracted 1 is the remainder demon of the sub RAM 120c. Add to the power storage area and store.

  Then, the demon power number stored in the remaining demon power number storage area of the sub RAM 120c is added to the demon power number for the effect corresponding to the last effect block. Even in this case, if the change pattern designation command corresponds to the loss, it is determined whether or not the added performance demon power corresponds to the fixed eye, and corresponds to the fixed eye. If it is, 1 is subtracted from the added demon power for performance. The subtracted 1 is discarded.

  In step S1449-5, the sub CPU 120a sets the number of effect blocks as the number of lotteries and sets it in the lottery counter of the sub RAM 120c.

  In step S1449-6, the sub CPU 120a performs effect block table determination processing for determining which effect block determination table to refer to from among the plurality of effect block determination tables shown in FIG.

  In this effect block table determination process, the sub CPU 120a refers to the effect scenario stored in the effect scenario storage area of the sub RAM 120c, and determines a plurality of effect blocks shown in FIG. 38 based on the effect scenario and the number of lotteries. One effect block determination table is determined from the tables.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 36, in the case of the production scenario 2, when the number of lotteries = 7 (the first lottery), the production block determination table for the normal acquisition effect shown in FIG. When the number of times = 6 (the second lottery), the effect block determination table for the normal acquisition effect shown in FIG. 38A is determined, and when the number of lotteries = 5 (the third lottery), it is shown in FIG. An effect block determination table for random performance is determined. When the number of lotteries = 4 (the fourth lottery), the effect block determination table for the attack effect shown in FIG. 38C is determined, and the number of lotteries = 3 (the fifth) 38), the effect block determination table for attack effect shown in FIG. 38 (c) is determined. When the number of lotteries = 2 (the sixth lottery), the effect block for attack effect shown in FIG. 38 (c) is determined. Determine the click determination table will determine the effect block determination table for attack effect that shown in FIG. 38 (c) when the lottery number = 1 (7th lottery).

  In step S1449-7, the sub CPU 120a performs an effect block determination process for determining an effect block.

  In this effect block determination process, the sub CPU 120a acquires the eighth to fifteenth random numbers, refers to the effect block determination table shown in FIG. 38 determined in step S1449-6, and acquires the acquired eighth to fifteenth random numbers. A production block is determined based on a numerical value (selection rate).

  Here, for the eighth to fifteenth random values, the eighth random value is a random value used in the first lottery, and the ninth random value is a random value used in the second lottery, The tenth random value is a random value used in the third lottery, the eleventh random value is a random value used in the fourth lottery, and the twelfth random value is in the fifth lottery. The random number used, the thirteenth random number is the random number used when the sixth lottery is performed, the fourteenth random number is the random number used when the seventh lottery is performed, and the fifteenth random number is It is a random value used in the 8th lottery.

  In step S1449-8, the sub CPU 120a stores the effect block determined in step S1449-7 in the first effect block storage area to the eighth effect block storage area of the sub RAM 120c.

  Here, in the first lottery, the production block is stored in the first production block storage area, in the second lottery, the production block is stored in the second production block storage area, and in the third lottery, The effect block is stored in the third effect block storage area, the effect block is stored in the fourth effect block storage area at the fourth lottery, and the effect block is stored in the fifth effect block storage area at the fifth lottery. The effect block is stored in the sixth effect block storage area at the sixth lottery, the effect block is stored in the seventh effect block storage area at the seventh lottery, and at the eighth lottery, The effect block is stored in the eighth effect block storage area.

  Accordingly, the effect blocks and the number of effects for the onigator power are stored in the first effect block storage area to the eighth effect block storage area of the sub RAM 120c.

  In step S1449-9, the sub CPU 120a performs a lottery number subtraction process in which 1 is subtracted from the lottery number and updated.

  In step S1449-10, the sub CPU 120a determines whether or not the number of lotteries is “0”. If the sub CPU 120a determines that the number of lotteries is “0”, the process proceeds to step S1449-11. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 120a determines that the number of lotteries is not “0”, that is, “1” or more, the process returns to step S1449-6.

  Therefore, if the sub CPU 120a determines that the number of lotteries is “1” or more, the sub CPU 120a repeats the processing from step S1449-6 to step S1449-9 until the number of lotteries becomes “0”. .

  In step S <b> 1449-11, the sub CPU 120 a transmits to the image control unit 150 the effect blocks stored in the first effect block storage area to the eighth effect block storage area of the sub RAM 120 c and the effect oni- matic power. The effect block data in which the effect blocks stored in each of the first effect block storage area to the eighth effect block storage area are associated with the number of demons for effect is set in the transmission buffer of the sub RAM 120c.

  The image control unit 150 that has received the effect block data in which the effect block is associated with the number of demon powers for the effect performs a predetermined effect corresponding to the effect block in the “demon power gain acquisition effect”, and then the demon for effect. The power number is displayed on the image display device 31.

  As described above, various commands and data determined and created in the effect control unit 120m are appropriately transmitted to the image control unit 150, the drive control unit 160, the lamp control unit 170, and the frame control board 180.

  The image control unit 150 receives various commands and data from the effect control unit 120m, and displays and deletes a predetermined image based on the received various commands and data. Display control is performed.

Similarly, the drive control unit 160 performs drive control of the panel drive device 33 to drive and stop the first decorative member 33a and the second decorative member 33b based on various received commands and data. The lamp control unit 170 performs lighting control of the panel lighting device 34a in order to turn on / off the LED based on various received commands and data.
Further, the frame control board 180 controls the output of the audio output device 32 to output / stop a predetermined sound based on the received various commands and data, and sets the frame to turn on / off the LED. In order to perform lighting control of the lighting device 34b and drive / stop the effect button 35, drive control of the effect button drive motor 35b is performed.

  An example of the effect mode displayed on the image display device 31 by the control of the main control board 110 and the effect control board 120 will be described.

(Direction of mini character notice effect during normal fluctuation)
FIG. 49 is a diagram showing an example of a production mode of “mini character notice production” during normal fluctuation.
49 shows an image display apparatus for the symbol effect pattern for executing the “normal variation” effect shown in FIGS. 30 (2) and 31 and the notice effect pattern for executing the mini character notice effect shown in FIG. 39 (1). It is an example of the production | presentation aspect in 31 and the 2nd decoration member 33b.

  As shown in FIG. 49 (a), when the symbol effect pattern for executing the effect of “normal fluctuation” is determined, the left, middle and right symbol effect symbols 38 are disjoint and high speed in the image display device 31. A fluctuating “normal fluctuation” is started.

  As shown in FIG. 49 (b), when the mini character notice effects 1 and 2 that “one cockroach appears” are determined, the image display device 31 displays the first during the normal variation of the effect symbol 38. One cockroach 311 appears. When it is determined to execute the mini character notice effects 3 and 4 that “three cockroaches appear”, three first cockroaches 311 appear in the image display device 31.

  When it is decided to execute the mini character notice effect 2 as “mini cock notice effect after the appearance of one cockroach,” as shown in FIG. 49 (c-1), The second decorative member 33 b simulating a “sword” is activated, and an effect in which the first cockroach 311 is killed is executed in the image display device 31.

  On the other hand, when it is decided to execute the mini character notice effect 1 as “a cockroach escapes after one cockroach appears” as the mini character notice effect 1, as shown in FIG. The decoration member 33b does not operate, and the image display device 31 performs an effect that the first cockroach 311 escapes.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 49 (d), in the image display device 31, the first cockroach 311 is deleted, and the effect of the effect pattern 38 in the normal variation is restored.

  Here, in the case where a mini character notice effect is executed in which the second decorative member 33b is activated and the first cockroach 311 is killed, a selection for selecting the mini character notice effect in the mini character notice determination table 1 shown in FIG. As can be seen from the rate, it is suggested that the degree of expectation that “demon's time” will be executed is high.

(Direction of “Oni-no-ki” without G-zone production)
FIG. 50 is a diagram showing an example of a “demon of demon” effect that does not go through the G zone effect.
Also, FIG. 50 shows an “opening effect” and a “title display effect” included in the start effect, a “normal acquisition effect” and a “random dance effect” included in the first half effect, and an “attack effect” included in the latter half effect. It is the figure which showed an example of the production | presentation aspect (display image) in the image display apparatus 31 about "recollection production".

As shown in FIG. 50 (a), when the “demon's time” effect is performed without going through the G zone effect, the character used in “demon's time” appears as the “start effect”. A “opening production” is performed.
Note that, as shown in FIG. 50 (a), the effect of “demon's time” is performed after reach is established, so that the left and right symbols are the same in the left corner of the display screen in the image display device 31. The effect design 38 of the form is variably displayed. This also applies to the description of FIG. 50 below.

  After the “opening effect” has been performed, as shown in FIG. 50B, a “title display effect” is clearly provided that clearly indicates that the “starting effect” will be shifted to “onino-koku”. Is called.

  After the “title display effect” has been performed, as shown in FIGS. 50 (c-1) and 50 (d-1), first, the “normal acquisition effect” in the first half effect is performed.

  In this “normal acquisition effect”, as shown in FIG. 50 (c-1), the first ally character (one character) appears and the effect button 35 is operated (or a predetermined effective time has elapsed). As a result, the first enemy character is defeated, and an effect is displayed in which the number of demons is displayed as shown in FIG. 50 (d-1).

  Although the above “normal acquisition effect” is performed once or a plurality of times, after the “normal acquisition effect” is performed, as shown in FIG. 50 (c-2) and FIG. 50 (d-2), “ "Ranbu production" may be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 50 (c-1), the “random dance effect” is obtained when the second teammate character (a plurality of characters) appears and operates the effect button 35 (or a predetermined effective time elapses). The second enemy character is defeated, and as shown in FIG. 50 (d-2), an effect is displayed in which the number of demons is displayed.

  After the “normal acquisition effect” or “random dance effect” in the first half production, as shown in FIG. 50 (e-1) or FIG. 50 (e-2), the “attack production” in the latter half production of the “demon's time”. Or “recollection production” will be performed.

  As described above, after the transition to the “demon's time”, the pattern of transition to the “normal acquisition effect”, “random dance effect”, “attack effect” or “recollection effect” is shown in FIG. Referring to the time production scenario determination table, it is executed on the basis of the production scenario of the “demon's time” determined.

(Directing aspect of mini character notice effect in Oninokin)
FIG. 51 is a diagram showing an example of a production mode of “mini character notice production” in Oninokino.
Further, FIG. 51 shows an image display of the symbol effect pattern for executing the “Oninokki” effect shown in FIGS. 30 (2) and 31 and the notice effect pattern for executing the mini character notice effect shown in FIG. 39 (2). It is an example of the production | presentation aspect in the apparatus 31 and the 2nd decoration member 33b.

  The “mini character notice effect” shown in FIG. 51 is substantially the same as the “mini character notice effect” effect shown in FIG. The execution time of the effect mode shown in FIG. 49 is different in that the effect is executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 51 (a) to 51 (c), the “mini-character notice effect” effect mode in the demon-skin normal acquisition effect is the normal variation shown in FIGS. 49 (b) to 51 (d). It is the same as the “mini character notice effect” effect mode at the time.

  Here, in the case where a mini character notice effect is executed in which the second decorative member 33b is activated and the first cockroach 311 is killed, a selection is made to select the mini character notice effect in the mini character notice determination table 2 shown in FIG. As can be seen from the rate, it is suggested that the expectation that the dance performance effect is executed from the normal acquisition effect is high.

(“G zone production” production mode)
52 and 53 are diagrams showing an example of the effect mode of the G zone effect.
As described above, the G zone effect is composed of the “G zone entry effect” and the “G zone change effect”, and FIG. 52 is a diagram showing an example of the effect mode of the G zone entry effect. These are figures which showed an example of the production aspect of G zone change production.

(Production mode of “G zone entry production”)
The effects performed in the order of FIGS. 52A-1 to 52D show the effect modes in the case where the “G zone entry effect” is executed from the “immediate change” to the “change”. The effects performed in the order of a-2) to (d) show the effect modes when the “G zone entry effect” is executed from the variation.

Here, as an effect mode when the “G zone entry effect” is executed from the “immediate change” to the “change”, first, it is described in the symbol effect pattern determination table 1 shown in FIG. As described above, in the “immediate change”, the “G zone rushing effect” corresponding to “煽 1” for starting the first half and the latter half of the G zone rushing effect is executed. .
After that, as described in the symbol effect pattern determination table 2 shown in FIG. 30 (2), in “the change”, it corresponds to “煽 2” for continuing the effect of the latter half of the G zone rushing effect. “Success effect” and “G zone change effect (G zone)” as “G zone entry effect”, “G zone entry success / failure effect” are executed.

First, in the last change, after the normal change is performed as shown in FIG. 52 (a-1), the first half of the appearance of the specific character is performed as shown in FIG. 52 (b-1). After that, an effect of the latter half is performed in which the particular character uses his hand to open the screen.
In the case where the “G zone rushing effect” is performed from “previous change” to “the change”, the “G zone” is also displayed when the stop display of the effect symbol 38 is performed in the previous change. The production of the latter half of the “rush entry production” is being continued.

  Thereafter, in the fluctuation after the previous fluctuation, as shown in FIG. 52 (c-1), the “G zone rushing effect” in which a specific character tries to open the screen with the hand immediately after the start of the normal fluctuation. After the second half of the production is continued until a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 52D, a “successful production” in which the screen has been successfully cut is performed. Thereby, it is informed that the transition to the G zone variation effect was successful.

  Note that the “failure effect” is an effect in which a specific character is erased and a normal background image is restored without the screen being torn, although an effect in which the specific character uses the hand to open the screen is performed. Has been.

  In addition, as an effect mode when the “G zone entry effect” is executed from the variation, as described in the symbol effect pattern determination table 2 shown in FIG. The “G zone rushing production effect” corresponding to “煽 1” for starting the production of the first half and the second half of the zone rushing production effect is executed.

In the variation, as shown in FIG. 52 (c-2), the first half of the appearance of the specific character is performed immediately after the start of the normal variation, and then the specific character uses the hand to display the screen. The latter half of the production will be performed.
Thereafter, when the “successful effect” is executed, as shown in FIG. 52 (d), it is notified that the screen has been successfully torn and the transition to the G zone variation effect has been successful.

(Production mode of “G zone fluctuation production”)
FIG. 53 is a diagram showing an example of the “G zone variation effect” effect mode, which is performed subsequent to the “G zone entry effect” effect mode of FIG.

In the “G zone variation effect”, as shown in FIGS. 53A to 53I, the shortened pseudo variation of the effect symbol 38 is executed a plurality of times.
Here, the number of shortened pseudo fluctuations of the effect design 38 is determined by the G zone change effect (effect pattern change mode) based on the G zone change effect determination table shown in FIG.

  During the execution of the shortened pseudo variation of the effect symbol 38, the second cockroach 312 jumps to the effect symbol 38 when the effect symbol 38 temporarily stops, as shown in FIGS. 53 (b) and 53 (f). Production may be performed. In FIG. 53 (b), when the middle symbol effect symbol 38 is temporarily stopped, the second cockroach 312 jumps to the middle symbol effect symbol 38. In FIG. 53 (f), left and right When the symbol design symbols 38 are temporarily stopped, the second cockroach 312 jumps to the left and right symbol design symbols 38.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 53 (c) and 53 (g), the second cockroach 312 jumping to the effect symbol 38 moves to the end of the display screen and the display is continued in the predetermined display mode 313. An effect of accumulating cockroaches 312 is performed. In FIG. 53 (c), the second cockroach 312 jumping to the medium symbol effect symbol 38 moves to the upper left of the display screen, and the effect of storing one cockroach is performed. In FIG. 53 (g), the second cockroach 312 jumping to the left design effect 38 moves to the upper left of the display screen, and the second cockroach 312 jumps to the right design effect 38 moves to the upper right of the display screen. In addition to the one cockroach that has already been stored, there is a performance where three cockroaches are stored.
In this way, based on the number of times the second cockroach 312 jumps to the effect symbol 38 (total number of times), an effect of continuously displaying a large number of cockroaches on the image display device 31 is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the second cockroach 312 that jumps to the effect symbol 38 when the effect symbol 38 temporarily stops and the predetermined display mode 313 that stores the cockroach are composed of the same display image, but different displays. You may comprise with an image.

  Here, the effect modes related to the second cockroach 312 are the G zone change effect (the number of times the cockroach is displayed) based on the G zone change effect determination table shown in FIG. 40 and the G display effect based on the cockroach display mode determination table shown in FIG. It is determined by.

Further, in the “G zone variation effect”, as shown in FIG. 53 (h), an effect of changing the “background color” may be performed based on the number of shortened pseudo variations of the effect symbol 38. Here, in FIG. 53H, the “background color” is changed from blue to red, and in FIG. 53I, the red “background color” is retained.
The change of the “background color” in the G zone variation effect is determined by the G zone variation effect (background mode) based on the G zone variation effect determination table shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 53 (i), in the “G zone variation effect”, when the reach of the effect symbol 38 becomes the same, the shortened pseudo variation of the effect symbol 38 ends, and the G zone variation effect is obtained. Will end.

(Direction of “Oni no Ki” via G zone production)
FIG. 54 is a diagram showing an example of the “demon zone” effect mode via the G zone effect, which is performed subsequent to the “G zone variation effect” effect mode of FIG.

54. The “demon on time” effect mode via the G zone effect shown in FIG. 54 is compared with the “demon time” effect mode not via the G zone effect shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 50A and 50B, the “starting effect” of “Noki” has two effects of “opening effect” and “title display effect”, but the G zone effect. As shown in FIG. 54 (b), the “starting effect” of the “demon's time” via the point is different in that only the “title display effect” is performed.
As a result, in the production mode of “Oni-no-ki” that does not go through the G zone production and the production mode of “Oni-no-ki” through the G-zone production, after the production design 38 starts to change display, Can be adjusted so that the start times of the “first half effects” are the same. In other words, the “demon on time” effect mode that passes through the G zone effect is more effective than the “demon on time” effect mode that does not go through the G zone effect. Since the production time until the “start production” of “Noki” is started is slightly longer, the “opening production” is omitted in the production mode of the “demon time” via the G zone production. We are trying to make adjustments.

Further, the “demon zone” effect mode via the G zone effect shown in FIG. 54 is compared with the “demon zone” effect mode not via the G zone effect shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 54A to 54C, the predetermined display mode 313 of a large number of cockroaches displayed in the “G zone production” is continued in the “Ogre time” production mode via the production. Is different in that it is displayed.
Thereby, the player can identify whether or not the G zone effect has been passed when the “demon's time” is being executed.

As shown in FIGS. 54 (b), 54 (c-1), and 54 (c-2), in the “starting effect” and the “first half effect” of the “demon's time”, the “G zone effect” Although the predetermined display mode 313 of a large number of cockroaches displayed in "" is continuously displayed, as shown in FIG. 54 (d-2), the "recollection effect" in the "second half effect" of "Oni no Ki""Is executed, the predetermined display mode 313 of the cockroach is erased.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 54 (d-1), when the “attack production” in the “second half production” of the “demon on time” is executed, the “second half production” of the “onino time”. The display of the predetermined display mode 313 of the cockroach is to be ended after the end of (when it is developed to “SP reach” or “SPSP reach”).

  54 is the same as the “demon on time” effect mode that does not pass through the G zone effect shown in FIG. 50, and the predetermined display mode 313 for cockroaches. Although there is a difference in whether or not is displayed, regarding the `` normal acquisition effect '' and `` Ranbu effect '' included in the first half production of `` Oni no Ki '' and the `` attack production '' and `` recollection production '' included in the second half production, The production mode is the same.

  According to the present embodiment described above, the same “mini character notice effect (roach notice)” can be executed at the time of normal fluctuation and “normal acquisition effect” of “Oninokki”. If a "preliminary performance" is performed, the transition to "Oninoki" is suggested, and if a "mini-character preliminary performance" is performed during the "normal acquisition production", the transition to "Ranbu production" is performed. Even if it is a similar “mini-character notice effect”, the suggested content is different, so that it is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, while the shortened pseudo variation in the “G zone variation effect” is executed, a character (cockroach) is displayed on the effect symbol 38 in a state of jumping, and for each temporary stop of the effect symbol 38, An effect in which the character that has jumped to the effect symbol 38 jumps from the effect symbol 38 to the image display device 31 is performed. Then, by repeating the shortened pseudo variation, the image display device 31 has an effect indicating a state in which a large number of characters are accumulated, suppresses the monotonous variation of the effect symbol 38, and further improves the interest of the game. Can do.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when “Onino” is performed via the “G zone”, the predetermined display mode 313 of the cockroach used in the “G zone” is also left in the “first half effect”. If the “second half production” is “attack production”, the predetermined display mode 313 of the cockroach used in the “G zone” is erased after the “attack production” ends, and the “second half production” is displayed. In the case of the “recollection effect”, the predetermined display mode 313 of the cockroach used in the “G zone” is erased at the start of the “recollection effect”.
For this reason, if the player continues to display a specific character (cockroach) in “Oninokino”, the player will be able to understand the circumstances that led to “Oninokino” via “G Zone”. It is possible to grasp and to expect the possibility of executing the jackpot game and the like, and to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28 as a flow of the entire effect and FIG. 52 as an example of the effect, the “G zone effect” is any of both the “immediate change” and “the change”. Since it starts even from the beginning, it is possible to give variations to the pattern of transition to the “G zone production” and to improve the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28 as a flow of the overall effect and FIG. 52 as an example of the effect, when shifting to the “G zone change effect”, the “immediate change” and “the change” Regardless of which of the two changes has occurred, since the “G zone variation effect” is performed after the “G zone entry effect”, the start timing of the “G zone variation effect” can be matched.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the shortened pseudo variation is repeated in the “G zone variation effect”, and a large number of characters are accumulated in the image display device 31, so that the player shifts to “Oninokki”. Can be expected.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the “background color” is changed from “blue” to “red” in a situation where a large number of characters are accumulated in the image display device 31 in the “G zone change effect” repeatedly. By changing to, the player can be given the expectation of moving to “Oninokki”.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in the demon power acquisition effect, the demon power acquisition effect production time (32 seconds) is divided by a predetermined unit time (4 seconds or 8 seconds) to obtain different numbers. A plurality of effects can be executed over a unit time, and the storage capacity of the sub ROM 120b for storing data corresponding to the effects can be reduced while executing a number of effects.

  In this embodiment, “G zone effect” is composed of “G zone entry effect” and “G zone variation effect”, but “G zone effect” is composed only of “G zone variation effect”. Also good. In the case of such a configuration, the “G zone variation effect” may be executed from both the “immediate variation” and “the variation”.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the “G zone effect” can be performed from both of the “previous change” and “the change”, but is not limited to the “previous change”, and before the “change”. The “G zone effect” may be executable over a plurality of fluctuations.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the “G zone variation effect”, the second cockroach 312 jumps to the effect symbol 38 when the effect symbol 38 is temporarily stopped, but before the temporary stop is performed. The stage design 38 may be configured to temporarily stop in a state where the second cockroach 312 is stuck to the stage design 38 from the stage of the variable display.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the configuration of the gaming machine used for the pachinko gaming machine has been described. May be used.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a special game determination unit that determines whether or not to control a special game that is advantageous to a player when the determination condition is satisfied, and the special game determination unit that determines whether the special game is controlled. Special game control means for controlling the special game on the condition that it is determined to perform control, and effect execution means for executing a predetermined determination effect based on a determination result by the special game determination means Prepared,
When executing the specific determination effect (G zone), the effect execution means starts displaying the specific effect image, and after the execution of the specific determination effect is finished, the first determination effect (first half effect → second half) When performing (production: attack production), the display of the specific production image is continued until the first timing, and when the first timing has elapsed, the display of the specific production image is terminated, When the second determination effect (first half effect → second half effect: reminiscence effect) is executed after the execution of the specific determination effect is finished, the display of the specific effect image is continued until the second timing, When the second timing has elapsed, the display of the specific effect image is terminated, and the second determination effect is determined to control the special game rather than the first determination effect. It is characterized in that the degree is high .

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a special game determination unit that determines whether or not to control a special game that is advantageous to a player when the determination condition is satisfied, and the special game determination unit that determines whether the special game is controlled. Special game control means for controlling the special game on the condition that it is determined to perform control, and effect execution means for executing a predetermined determination effect based on a determination result by the special game determination means Prepared,
The effect execution means can execute a normal determination effect, a specific determination effect, a first determination effect, and a second determination effect, and the first determination effect or the second determination effect. When executing the specific determination effect, after executing the specific determination effect, an effect mode in which the first determination effect or the second determination effect is executed, and the normal determination without executing the specific determination effect. After executing the determination effect, the determination effect can be executed in any one of the effect modes including the first determination effect or the effect mode of executing the second determination effect, and the specific determination effect (G running the zone), it starts the display of the specific effect image, the first determination effect after performing the specific determination effect (early effect → late effect: when the effect mode for carrying out the attack effect) is Until the first timing And continues to display the image, the said ends the display of a specific effect image when the first timing has elapsed, the second determination effect (early effect → late effect after performing the specific determination effect: In the case of an effect mode that executes (recollection effect), the display of the specific effect image is continued until the second timing, and when the second timing has elapsed, the display of the specific effect image is terminated, In the case of an effect mode in which the first determination effect or the second determination effect is executed without executing the specific determination effect, the specific effect image is not displayed in any case. The first determination effect or the second determination effect is executed, and the degree of expectation that the second determination effect is determined to control the special game is higher than the first determination effect. It is characterized by being expensive.
