The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. The thing with the shape of etc. can be mentioned. In this specification, “identification information” may be called a main game symbol / special symbol (special symbol) or a decorative symbol (design), but the “special symbol (special symbol)” is the main control board. The “decorative pattern (design)” is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-control board side. “Displaying identification information” is not limited to a display method. For example, light emission of a light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) (including not only whether light is emitted but also a color difference), physical Display (for example, a symbol drawn on a reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position). “Direction” refers to display content that enhances the fun of the game. For example, identification information fluctuates / stops, notices, etc., moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photos, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. “Open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = non-winning state Easy state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following condition, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Game state” means, for example, a transition to a special game state rather than a non-stochastic game state in which a lottery probability for transition to a special game state or a special game state in which a special winning opening can be in an open state is a predetermined value. A probabilistic variable gaming state with a high lottery probability, an auxiliary gaming state with assistance for winning at the starting port that becomes a lottery opportunity for special games (so-called normal symbol short-time state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting port In such a case, the variable member may be one or a combination of a plurality of combinations such as a long opening period of the variable member, a high probability of winning the opening of the variable member, and a short notification time of the result of the variable member opening lottery.

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

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, when the scheduled interrupt period T is reached (for example, a hardware interrupt every approximately 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. . Next, in step 1200, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1400, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1550, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a special game operation condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1600, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1997, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M causes the prize ball payout control board KH to execute a prize ball payout control process (drive control of the prize ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. , Processing for managing the result). Next, in step 1998, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes external signal output processing (information output to the external terminal board, the hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1999, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit side), and immediately before execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being executed.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the main control board M is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the processing of FIG. Is done. That is, when the power of the gaming machine is cut off (NMI interrupt in this example), in step 1020, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the power interruption information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. . Next, in step 1022, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflow, passed in the case of a gate) into the auxiliary game start port H <b> 10. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H and determines whether or not the hold ball is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). . In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number together with information on what number is on hold, and the next processing (processing of step 1200). Migrate to In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the next process (process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the electric accessory release flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 1204, in Step 1206, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the auxiliary game side game state (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag), and stores the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H. Refer to and determine a stop symbol based on the acquired auxiliary game side gaming state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, when the auxiliary game short flag is on, compared to when it is off) Select the winning symbol with high probability) and temporarily store it.

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

  Next, in step 1218, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the auxiliary game symbol variation time to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H based on the game state on the auxiliary game side (flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 1 second when the auxiliary game short time flag is on and 10 seconds when the auxiliary game short time flag is off) is set. In step 1220, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1222, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M updates the hold information temporarily stored after subtracting 1 from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol, and the CPUC 100 of the main control board M also updates the auxiliary game. After the symbol variation management timer MP11t-H is started, the variation display of the auxiliary game symbol is started on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, in step 1224, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol and confirms and displays the acquired stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g. To do. In step 1228, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1230, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “hit” (D1 · D2 in this example). Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M opens based on the winning symbol on the auxiliary game side (for example, in the case of the winning symbol “D1”, it is opened for 1 second → closed for 1 second). -> Open for 1 second-> Close for 1 second-> Open for 1 second-> Open in which it is closed, in the case of the winning symbol "D2", open for 0.2 seconds, closed for 0.8 seconds, open for 5 seconds) And a predetermined time related to the opening time (opening / closing time) of the electric winning thing is set in the second main game start opening electric accessory releasing timer MP22t-B. Next, in step 1234, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the electric-power-assist opening flag. Then, in step 1236, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M opens the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d, and proceeds to step 1242. Note that if the result of Step 1202 is No, the process proceeds to Step 1242. In addition, in this embodiment, when the main game time short flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is a predetermined hit symbol (D2), the time for which the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is kept open is the longest. Has been.

  Next, in step 1242, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the second main game start port electric accessory release timer MP22t-B and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the electric accessory release time has been reached. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in step 1244 and step 1246, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M closes the second main game start port electric accessory B11d and turns off the electric accessory open flag, and performs the next processing. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

  If No in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If No in steps 1206, 1224, 1230, and 1242, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1300).

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

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game start opening entrance information is received from the first main game start entrance entering detection device A11s. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the first main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning lottery random number for determining whether or not to win, a symbol lottery random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1310, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game short time flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M pre-determines the stored result determination and the stop symbol based on the stored information (success / failure lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1316, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the newly generated pending result and the command related to the stop symbol information in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1318.

  Next, in step 1318, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M, based on the hold information (variation mode determination random number), stores the stored change mode random number delimiter information and the change mode group (non-short-time change mode group and short-time change). The variation mode group) is determined in advance (refer to the main game table 3 in FIGS. 11 and 12 for the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group), and the process proceeds to step 1320. In the present embodiment, one variation mode group is configured to include a plurality of types of variation modes (variation times). Note that if the answer is No in step 1310 or step 1312, the process proceeds to step 1320. Next, in step 1320, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sends a command related to a new on-hold generation (such as a first main game content determination random number on-hold generation command, a command related to variation mode random number delimiter information) to the sub-main control. The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1322. When the symbol information is configured to be transmitted to the sub-control board S side as in the present embodiment, an effect suggesting a big hit may be executed as an effect to be executed on the sub-control board S side. In such a case, it is desirable that the player can be notified of the stop symbol of the main game symbol that is a big hit (the stop symbol is notified only when the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit). Also in the case of No in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1322. Although the first main game content determination random number is temporarily stored in step 1308, the processing relating to the first main game content determination random number will be described in detail. (1) Entering the first main game start opening A10 As a trigger, a first main game content determination random number is acquired, and the random number is stored in a register. (2) The first main game content determination random number stored in the register is stored in the RAM of the main control board M, and the variation of the main game symbol is started based on the first main game content determination random number stored in the register. A prefetch lottery (trigger B prefetch lottery, which will be described later) is executed before. (3) At the start of main game symbol variation, the first main game content determination random number stored in the RAM of the main control board M is stored in the register, and based on the first main game content determination random number stored in the register. The determination of success / failure is executed (the determination of success / failure may be executed based on the first main game content determination random number stored in the RAM of the main control board M). When the second main game side is configured so that the pre-read lottery can be executed, the same processing may be executed for the second main game content determination random number.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the main game content determination random number (the first main game content determination random number or the second main game content determination random number) is acquired (or when the suspension occurs), the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group Is configured to determine.

  In addition, it may be configured to transmit the main game content determination random number information, the failure random number delimiter information, the variation mode random number delimiter information, and the variation mode group information to the sub control board S side at the timing when the hold occurs. The information to be transmitted to the sub-control board S side is not limited to this, but information related to the main game symbol that is stopped, information related to the main game symbol that is a big hit (special information related to the main game symbol scheduled to stop) The number of rounds of the game, etc.), the number of holds immediately after the winning win (both the first main game side and the second main game side, even if only the number of holds on the winning side of the first main game side or the second main game side) Or the like (which may be the number of holdings), etc. (the failure random number delimiter information is the game state and the random number value on the first main game side (second main game side)) (Or random value range) and the lottery result It is one of the random number separation information divided into groups, for example, whether it is a probability variation gaming state or a non-probability variation gaming state, a loss, a probability variation gaming state or a non-stochastic variation gaming state If the game state is a winning game, the winning group is a winning game, but if it is a non-stochastic game state, it can be grouped such as lost.

  Next, in step 1322, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the second main game start entrance entrance information is received from the second main game start entrance entrance detection device B <b> 11 s. In the case of Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired in the same manner as the first main game symbol determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the random determination random number for the first main game and the random determination random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1328, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1330, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1330, in step 1334, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M pre-determines the determination result and stop symbol related to the stored hold based on the hold information (win / lot lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1336, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the newly generated pending result and the command related to the stop symbol information in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1338.

  In the case of No in step 1330, in step 1332, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game short time flag is off. If yes in step 1332, the process proceeds to step 1340, and if no in step 1332, the process proceeds to step 1334.

  Next, in step 1338, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M, based on the hold information (variation mode determination random number), stores the stored change mode random number delimiter information and the change mode group (non-short-time change mode group and short-time change). The variation mode group) is determined in advance (refer to the main game table 3 in FIGS. 13 and 14 for the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group), and the process proceeds to step 1340. Next, in step 1340, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sends a command related to a new on-hold occurrence (such as a second main game content determination random number on-hold generation command, a command related to variation mode random number separator information) to the sub-main control. The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). Also in the case of No in step 1322 or step 1324, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1400).

  In step 1308 and step 1328, storage of the first main game content determination random number and storage of the second main game content determination random number are executed, but the main game content determination random number is stored in the RAM storage area of the main control board. Is stored, and only the information related to the “main game content determination random number” is stored in the byte storing the information related to the main game content determination random number (various timers). It is preferable to configure such that other information such as value is not stored) (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise or the like) To prevent it). In addition, with respect to the winning lottery random number, the change of the gaming state (from the gaming state related to the hold that has already been recorded) between the acquisition of the winning lottery random number and the execution of the winning lottery related to the winning lottery random number. Since not only the change but also the game state may change due to the newly generated hold, the game state at the time of the lottery execution related to the lottery random number may be unpredictable). Until the process is executed, the lottery random number is stored. In the present embodiment, the command to the sub-main control unit SM related to the hold information can be transmitted only at the time of the hold occurrence related to the first main game in the non-time-saving game state, while in the time-saving game state. Is configured so that it can be transmitted only at the time of the occurrence of the hold related to the second main game, but regardless of whether the hold is related to the first main game or the hold related to the second main game in any game state The command may be transmitted, and in such a case, the sub-main control unit SM may determine whether to use the received command. In the present embodiment, when the first main game content determination random number is stored, the special game is not executed and the game is in a non-time-reduced game state. Information regarding the stop symbol and the variation mode group is configured to be transmitted to the sub-control board S side. In addition, when the second main game content determination random number is stored, the special game is being executed or the game is in a time-reduced game state. Information is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. Moreover, it may be configured to provide a small hit, and in such a configuration, when the small hit is executed, it relates to a new hold when the first main game content determination random number is acquired. Information on the result of the decision, the stop symbol, and the variation mode group are not transmitted to the sub-control board S side. Is configured to transmit to the side of the sub-control board S, and when the small hit is not executed, the result of the new hold, the stop symbol, the variation mode when the first main game content determination random number is acquired Information on the group is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. The result of the new suspension when the second main game content determination random number is acquired, the stop symbol, the information on the variation mode group is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. Sending It may be configured so that it does not.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M confirms whether or not the second main game symbol is reserved. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and the next process {the process of steps 1400 (1) and (2). }. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the second main game symbol display process described later, and the next process {steps 1400 (1), (2). The process proceeds to.

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

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game is not being played (or the condition device is being operated), the main game symbol is not changing, and there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is displayed), during the variable fixed time, It may be configured not to satisfy

  In the case of Yes in Step 1403, in Steps 1405 and 1406, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation. Is deleted from the hold information, and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding digestion process). Next, in Step 1410-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. The main game symbol determination lottery is executed based on the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the winning lottery random number).

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 1) is an example of the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

  Next, in step 1410-2, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), and the main game symbol. Based on the result of the lottery determination and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number), the stop symbols related to the main game symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored.

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when winning a big hit, from among a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A” and “4B, 5B, 7B”) One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. The number of special game rounds determined by referring to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. May}

  Next, in step 1411, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the limited frequency flag (a flag that is turned on in step 1460 and can be turned on in the limited frequency state) is off. In the case of Yes in step 1411, in step 1412, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery corresponding to each game state. With reference to the table MN51ta-B), the main game symbol variation mode is determined based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number). Determine these, temporarily store them, and go to Step 1414. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1411, in step 1450, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M performs a limited frequency variation mode determination process described later, and proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the main game symbol variation mode (variation time) for a certain random value can be determined based on the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result and the main game short flag state. Has been. For example, for a certain random number value, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and when the main game short-time flag is on (time-short game) The state) is configured to easily determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short. Note that this example is merely an example, and the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, and the like are not limited at all. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game short-time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side Is configured to be advantageous for the player, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). It is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished in order to establish the situation. 13 and 14, the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group are provided even in a situation where the information related to the variation mode random number delimitation information and the variation mode group is not transmitted to the sub-control board S side (such as a gaming state). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group are provided only in the situation of transmission to the sub-control board S side. That is, the first main game side is configured not to provide the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group in the time-reduced game state, and the second main game side is configured to have the variation mode random number in the non-time-reduced game state. You may comprise so that division information and a variation mode group may not be provided.

  Next, in step 1414, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M causes the temporarily stored commands relating to the main game symbols (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) and commands relating to the current gaming state ( The symbol variation display start instruction command) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1415, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined time related to the main game symbol variation time in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. Next, in step 1416, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g) In accordance with the temporarily stored variation mode, the variation display of the main game symbol is started. Next, in step 1417, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the changing flag, and proceeds to step 1420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420. If No in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1550).

  Next, in step 1420, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the change time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M transmits a command for transmitting information (symbol confirmation display instruction command) indicating that the symbol variation is completed to the sub main control unit SM side. It is set in the buffer MT10 (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1423, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g) The main game symbol variation display is stopped, and the temporarily stored stop symbol is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1424, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the changing flag.

  Next, in step 1430, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1440, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the condition device operation flag, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, if No in step 1430, the process proceeds to step 1500.

  Next, in step 1500, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550). Even in the case of No in step 1420, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of limited frequency variation mode determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. When a specific main game symbol is stopped and displayed, a state in which the type and / or selection rate of the main game symbol is different from that before the specific main game symbol is stopped and displayed is a limited frequency state. In this embodiment, a state where the limited frequency flag is on is referred to as a limited frequency state. In the present embodiment, in the time reduction game state, the symbol variation is executed, and when the count value of the time reduction counter MP52c becomes 0, the limited frequency state is entered. The gaming state in the state is a non-stochastic variation gaming state and a non-time shortening gaming state. First, in step 1452, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M changes the main game symbols based on the main game side random numbers (first main game content determination random number, second main game content determination random number) and the result of winning / failing lottery ( (Variation time) is determined with reference to the limited frequency table.

  Here, FIG. 15 is an example of a limited frequency table (variation mode determination table). The limited frequency table is a variation mode determination table that is referred to when the limited frequency flag is on. When referring to the limited frequency table, that is, in the limited frequency state, regardless of whether the symbol variation is the symbol variation on the first main game side or the symbol variation on the second main game side, the contents of the table (of the variation mode) Selection candidates) are the same. Further, when the symbol variation is a big hit, only the longest variation time of 60 seconds is selected as the variation time. Further, when the symbol variation is lost, the variation time is selected from 60 seconds, 30 seconds, and 10 seconds. Although details will be described later, it is possible to configure so as to be able to execute an effect during limited frequency, which will be described later, by configuring it as a selection candidate of such a variable time.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1454, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a limited frequency command (a command on the sub side, a command for notifying that the frequency is currently limited). To do. Next, in step 1456, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the limited frequency counter value. Next, in step 1458, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the limited frequency counter MN52c is 0. In the case of Yes in step 1458, in step 1460, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines that the limited frequency state has ended, turns off the limited frequency flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1414). Even in the case of No in step 1458, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1414).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the probability variation counter MP51c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements (decrements) the counter value of the probability variation counter MP51c. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the probability variation number counter MP51c and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1506, in step 1508, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the main game probability change flag, and proceeds to step 1510. Note that if the answer is No in step 1502 or 1506, the process proceeds to step 1510.

  Next, in step 1510, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1514, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1514, in step 1516, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1518, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game short time flag. Next, in step 1520, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the limited frequency flag. Next, in step 1522, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (20 times in this example) to the limited frequency counter MN52c, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1550). Note that if the answer is No in step 1510 or step 1514, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1550). As described above, in the present embodiment, the counter value of the time-saving count counter MP52c (or the probability variation count counter MP51c) becomes 0, and 20 symbol fluctuations have occurred after the transition from the time-reduced gaming state to the non-time-reduced gaming state. It is configured to be able to enter a limited frequency state until it is executed. In the present embodiment, the number of probability changes (value set in the probability variation counter MP51c) and the number of time reductions (value set in the time reduction number counter MP52c) are set to the same number. You may comprise so that it may become number of times.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special game operating condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the specific game flag (main game probability change flag, main game short flag, auxiliary game short flag). Next, in step 1556, the CPUC100 of the main control board M clears the value of the probability variation counter MP51c. Next, in step 1558, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1560, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears the limited frequency counter MN52c to zero. Next, in step 1562, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the limited frequency flag. Next, in step 1564, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the special game transition permission flag. Next, in step 1566, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the condition device operation flag and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). In the case of No in step 1552, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in steps 1604 and 1606, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the special game transition permission flag and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1607, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1608, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. Note that, in the case of No in step 1610, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1612, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the round continuation flag is OFF, in other words, whether or not it is immediately before the start of each round. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the open pattern (for example, the open pattern that continues to open, the pattern that performs opening and closing). Set. Next, in step 1616, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1620, the CPU C100 of the main control board M drives the first big prize opening electric combination C11d (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d) to drive the first big prize opening C10 (or second). The special winning opening C20) is opened, and a special game timer MP34t (particularly, an opening time timer) is set to a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) and started, and the process proceeds to Step 1622. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20) is being opened, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1624, the CPU C100 of the main control board M refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process proceeds to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the special game timer MP34t (particularly, the opening time timer) for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) relating to the opening of the big prize opening. It is determined whether or not elapses. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. In the case of No in step 1626, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1628, the CPU C100 of the main control board M stops driving the first big prize opening electric combination C11d (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d) and the first big prize opening C10 (or The second grand prize opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M resets the special game timer MP34t (particularly, the opening time timer). Next, in step 1632, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1633, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1634, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the last round has ended (for example, the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b is the maximum number of rounds). Or not) is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1638, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game end display instruction command) to end the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). In step 1650, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1634, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example) in the probability variation counter MP51c. Next, in step 1654, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the main game probability change flag. Next, in step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example) in the time reduction number counter MP52c. Next, in step 1658, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1660, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game short time flag. Next, in step 1700, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the above-described short-time transmission control process for probability change, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997). In the present embodiment, when the transition to the probability variation gaming state is completed after the special game is over, the symbol variation is completed a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example) after the special game is over. It is configured to end the probability variation gaming state by this, but is not limited to this, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game, depending on the jackpot symbol that triggered the special game, When transitioning to the probability variation gaming state, the probability variation gaming state may continue until the next jackpot is won (by setting 10,000 times to the probability variation number counter MP51c and the hourly number counter MP52c, In other words, the probability variation gaming state may continue until the next big hit win). In the case of such a configuration, regarding the jackpot symbol on the first main game side, the jackpot symbol that shifts to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game and the jackpot symbol that does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game. The selection ratio may be set to 65:35, and 100 times may be set in the time reduction counter MP52c when the transition to the probability variation gaming state is not made after the special game ends.

  Next, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 20 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 4D is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting, such as when the game machine is powered on. That is, at the time of powering on the gaming machine, in step 2002, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an initial process based on information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information). → When the sub-side RAM is initialized, when various information commands are received, the production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (f) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub-main control unit SM. Here, when (f) is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 5F, first, in step 2500, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a hold information management process to be described later. Next, in step 2700, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decoration symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2800, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2900, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a special game related display control process which will be described later. Next, in step 2999, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a display command transmission control process (sends commands set in these series of subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and ends this repetitive process routine. To do.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM adopts a form in which the sub-main routine (S2500 to S2999) is loop-processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5E is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is sent to one terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (e). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives the command input port (from the main control board M side). Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the sub main control unit SM sends the command transmitted from the main control board M side to the RAM (eg, main side information temporary storage means SM11b) on the sub main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result. Is temporarily stored, and the process that was being executed immediately before this interrupt process is restored.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has received from the main control board M side a command relating to a new hold occurrence (hold information relating to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the drawing hold counter (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game and a maximum of four for the second main game) to “ Add 1 ”. Next, in step 2506, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sends a command related to the new hold result and stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side to the drawing hold information temporary storage area (sub control board S). Is temporarily stored in an area for temporarily storing information related to the hold on the side. Next, in step 2508, the CPUSC of the sub control board S installs the hold information (particularly, the change mode group, the change mode random number delimiter information, etc.) based on the hold generation command transmitted from the main control board M side. Temporarily store in the figure hold information temporary storage area. Note that if the main control board M side does not transmit the result of the success / failure result, the stop symbol, the variation mode group, and the variation mode random number delimiter information, in step 2506 or step 2508, the information is retained information. It is not temporarily stored in the temporary storage area. Next, in step 2509, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2509, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a prefetch determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2510 in step 2150. Next, in step 2510, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not information indicating that the trigger hold is A is added to the new hold (added in the process of step 2216). Then, it is determined whether or not the new hold is the trigger hold A. In the present embodiment, information indicating that the trigger is on hold is added to the hold that has been won in the pre-read lottery, and the trigger hold has three types: trigger hold A, trigger hold B, and trigger hold C. Depending on the type of trigger hold that exists, there is an effect mode during the symbol variation related to the trigger hold and an effect mode during the symbol change related to the hold that is digested before the trigger hold. It is configured to be different. In the case of Yes in step 2510, in step 2250, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a prefetch hold content determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2520. In the case of No in step 2509 (when the new hold is a hold on the second main game side) or in the case of No in step 2510, the process proceeds to step 2520.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2502, in step 2511, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a symbol variation display start instruction command is received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2511, in step 2512, the CPUSC of the sub control board S subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter. Next, in step 2514, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S temporarily stores the hold information related to the symbol change (particularly, the result of the determination, the stop symbol information, the change mode group, and the change mode random number separator information). While deleting from the area, the remaining pending information is shifted. Next, in step 2516, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 2520. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2511, the process proceeds to Step 2520.

  Next, in step 2520, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has the same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter value on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). Is turned on and displayed in the hold display mode (the hold display mode is white when the hold display mode does not change), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2700).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. First, in step 2152, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether there is no second main game hold (holding that is digested with priority over the first main game side) in the hold. In step 2154, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2154, in step 2156, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not there is a big hit in the hold before the new hold. In the case of Yes in step 2156, in step 2158, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not all the variation mode groups related to the hold before the new hold are group 1. In the case of Yes in step 2158, in step 2160, whether the CPUSC of the sub control board S has received a limited frequency command from the main control board M side, in other words, is not in the current limited frequency state. Determine. Here, in the present embodiment, in the limited frequency state, a pre-reading effect dedicated to the limited frequency state (an effect that suggests a variation mode or the like of the subsequent symbol variation) is executed for each symbol variation. In the case of the frequency state, the trigger hold A, the trigger hold B, and the trigger hold C are configured not to occur (the effects executed in the limited frequency state will be described later). In the case of Yes in step 2160, in step 2162, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the variation mode group related to the new hold is the group 3. In the case of Yes in step 2162, in step 2200, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a high expectation degree prefetch determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2510).

  If NO in step 2162, in step 2164, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation related to the trigger hold C is currently being executed. In the case of Yes in step 2164, in step 2166, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a trigger C pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/40). Next, in step 2168, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger C prefetch lottery executed in step 2166 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2168, in step 2170, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S adds information indicating “trigger hold C” to the new hold selected in the trigger C prefetch lottery for the next processing (step 2510). As described above, the present embodiment is configured so that information indicating that the trigger is on hold can be added even if the change mode group is not Group 3 hold (hold on which the change time is relatively short). When the trigger hold C occurs, an effect in which the lever turning effect is not executed (gase effect of the lever turning effect) is executed as a trigger C prefetching effect to be described later. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured so that the trigger hold C can be added even when the group 3 is on hold, and the symbol variation related to the group 1 or group 2 will also be described later. You may comprise so that a lever turning effect may be performed. If NO in step 2152, in step 2172, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S deletes information indicating “trigger hold” from the temporarily stored information related to hold (indicating that the trigger is on hold). If there is no information hold in the hold, this process is not executed and the process proceeds to the next process), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2510). It should be noted that if the result of Step 2154, Step 2156, Step 2158, Step 2160, Step 2164, or Step 2168 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 2510). It should be noted that the processing of step 2172 is performed when the second main game side hold is present (occurred) in the second main game side priority digestion gaming machine as in the present embodiment. This is a configuration for avoiding a situation in which the pre-reading effect over a plurality of variations is not executed normally because the game-side suspension is consumed first, so that the planned variation order is not achieved. In addition, as a prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery, a condition that whether or not there is a hold of a specific variation mode group (or a hold of specific variation mode random number separator information) in the hold before the new hold is set as a prohibition condition Also good.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the high expectation look-ahead determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. Note that this process is executed only when the newly generated pending variation mode group is group 3. First, in step 2202, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold A or the trigger hold B exists in the hold. In the case of Yes in Step 2202, in Step 2204, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold C exists within the hold. Here, in the present embodiment, if No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2510), and if No in step 2204, the process proceeds to the process of step 2218 and trigger B prefetch lottery. It is configured to run. In other words, in the present embodiment, basically, when the trigger hold exists in the hold, the trigger hold is not newly generated, but the trigger hold C exists in the hold. In some cases, the trigger hold B can be newly generated. In such a case, a special prefetch effect execution scenario to be described later is determined.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 2204, in step 2206, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S makes a trigger AB prefetch lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/5) (trigger hold A if won Alternatively, a pre-read lottery in which trigger hold B will occur is executed. Next, in step 2208, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger AB prefetch lottery executed in step 2206 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2208, in step 2210, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has a trigger B distribution lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/3) (if it is elected, information indicating that the trigger is on hold B). This is a lottery to be added, and is executed for the hold that was won in the trigger AB prefetch lottery). Next, in step 2212, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger B distribution lottery executed in step 2210 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2212, in step 2214, the CPUSC of the sub control board S adds information indicating “trigger hold B” to the new hold selected in the trigger B distribution lottery, and performs the next processing ( The process proceeds to step 2510). If NO in step 2212, in step 2215, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation related to the trigger hold A is being executed. In the case of Yes in step 2215, in step 2216, the CPUSC of the sub control board S adds information indicating “trigger hold A” to the new hold that has not won the trigger B distribution lottery, and The process proceeds to the process (the process of step 2510).

  If NO in step 2204, in step 2218, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines that the trigger B prefetch lottery is won with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/15). A pre-read lottery that is added to the effect of B) is executed. Next, in step 2220, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger B prefetch lottery executed in step 2218 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2220, in step 2222, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S adds information indicating “trigger hold B” to the new hold selected in the trigger B prefetch lottery, and performs the next processing (step 2510). It should be noted that if the result of Step 2202, Step 2208, Step 2215, or Step 2220 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 2510). As described above, in this embodiment, there are three types of trigger hold, that is, trigger hold A, trigger hold B, and trigger hold C as the trigger hold. The time hold) is configured to easily become the trigger hold A or the trigger hold B, and the trigger hold C is a prefetch effect similar to the case where the trigger hold B exists (the effect of filling the panel, which will be described later). This is provided to execute the gasse effect, which means that the lever turning effect will not be executed. That is, in the case where the trigger hold B exists and the case where the trigger hold C exists, the pre-reading effect during the symbol change related to the hold before the trigger hold is the same line effect (the effect of filling the panel, which will be described later). ) Is configured to be executed.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of prefetch hold content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. First, in step 2252, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold A is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2252, in step 2254, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the display mode of the trigger hold A by lottery with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit), and performs the next processing (step 2525). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2252, in other words, if the trigger hold A is a hold that is lost, in step 2256, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the display mode of the trigger hold A to the hold display mode determination table. It is determined by lottery with reference to (at the time of losing), and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2520).

  Here, the two tables at the bottom of the figure are a hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit) and a hold display mode determination table (at the time of loss). In the present embodiment, the types of display modes that can be selected when the display mode of the trigger hold A is determined with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit) are “Character A” and “Character B”. There are two types of display modes that can be selected when determining with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of losing), “Character A” and “Character B”. A lottery will be drawn using a dedicated random number. It should be noted that “Character A” is more likely to be selected and “Character B” is less likely to be selected when referring to the hold display mode determination table (big hit) than when referring to the hold display mode determination table (big hit). Therefore, when the display mode of the trigger hold A is “Character A”, the jackpot expectation degree at the time of the symbol change related to the trigger hold A is higher than when the display mode is “Character B”. Yes. It should be noted that the display mode that can be changed is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of display is changed or the display mode that can be changed is changed. For example, when the open extension function is not activated than when the open time extension function is activated It may be configured such that there are more types of hold display modes in (or in the non-probability variation gaming state and the non-time reduction gaming state) than in the probability variation gaming state and the time reduction gaming state.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination permission flag. Next, in step 2706, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not a limited frequency command has been received from the main control board M side, that is, whether or not it is currently in a limited frequency state. In the case of Yes in step 2706, in step 2300, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect content determination process during limited frequency, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2714.

  Further, in the case of No in step 2706, in step 2708, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S, based on the temporarily stored symbol information (stop symbol / variation mode relating to the main game symbol), stops the decorative symbol {for example, If the stop symbol related to the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol, it will be “7, 7, 7”, etc., and if it is a lose symbol, it will be “1, 3, 5” etc. A mode is determined and temporarily stored.

  Next, in step 2710, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether any of the trigger hold A, the trigger hold B, or the trigger hold C exists in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2710, in step 2350, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a pre-reading effect content determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2714. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2710, in step 2712, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the effect content related to the symbol variation based on the stop symbol and variation mode of the decorative symbol, and proceeds to step 2714.

  Next, in step 2714, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800). In the case of No in step 2702, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing during limited frequency according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, the CPUSC of the sub control board S confirms information related to all the pending fluctuation modes. Next, in step 2304, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol related to the symbol variation based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol. Next, in step 2306, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a short-term variation (symbol variation with a variation time of 10 seconds). Here, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the main game symbol in the limited frequency state is a short-time fluctuation that is a fluctuation time of 10 seconds, a medium-time fluctuation that is a fluctuation time of 30 seconds, and a fluctuation time of 60 seconds. The three types of variation times, i.e., long-term variation, can be selected.

  In the case of Yes in step 2306, in step 2308, the CPUSC of the sub control board S changes the decorative pattern variation mode related to the symbol variation in the first half: “5 second variation → temporary stop”, and the second half: “5 second variation → stop”. Is determined twice. Here, in the present embodiment, when a variation of a decorative symbol that is a short-time variation is executed, a symbol variation that is actually executed once in 10 seconds is performed twice, and a pseudo variation of 5 seconds is performed twice (second half) (The stop symbol in the symbol variation is a fixed stop symbol), so that the player is presented as if the symbol variation with a variation time of 5 seconds is executed twice (same diagram) See the image during the limited frequency below). Next, in step 2310, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has the first half: “the contents of the effect suggesting the variation time of the symbol fluctuation related to the latter half of the fluctuation”, the second half: “next” The content is determined to be “effect content suggesting the variation time of the symbol variation after the variation”, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). It should be noted that the variation time of the symbol variation related to the latter half of the variation is the variation time of the latter half of the variation or the variation time of the symbol variation after the next variation. In this way, at the time of execution of short-time fluctuation in the limited frequency state, the success / failure result relating to the fluctuation state currently being executed (which symbol fluctuation is in the first half or the second half) is displayed. The effect that suggests is not executed, that is, the effect that suggests the variation time of the symbol variation after the present (including the latter half of the symbol variation if it is the current first half) (for example, whether or not it becomes reach) Will be performed).

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, if No in step 2306, in step 2312, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a middle time variation (symbol variation with a variation time of 30 seconds). To do. In the case of Yes in step 2312, in step 2314, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the decorative pattern variation mode related to the symbol variation in the first half: “5-second variation → temporary stop”, second half: “(5-second variation → It is determined to be a pseudo-successive development failure that becomes “stop (final stop)” after executing “temporary stop” a plurality of times. As described above, when the medium-time variation symbol variation is executed in the limited frequency state, the short-term variation symbol variation is executed after executing the variation manner similar to the short-term variation symbol variation described above. Special symbols (temporary stop symbols for which subsequent pseudo fluctuations will be executed) are temporarily stopped at the stop timing related to, so that after the pseudo fluctuations are repeated multiple times, the lost symbols are fixed and stopped without reaching It is comprised so that it may become a various fluctuation aspect. Next, in step 2316, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has the first half: “the contents of the effect suggesting the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation related to the latter half of the fluctuation”, the second half: “the relevant, The content of the effect suggesting the result of the change is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). Further, in the case of No in step 2312, in other words, when the symbol variation is long-term variation (symbol variation with a variation time of 60 seconds), in step 2318, the CPUSC of the sub control board S The variation pattern of the decorative symbols related to the fluctuation is as follows: First half: “5 second fluctuation → temporary stop”, second half: “(5 second fluctuation → temporary stop) is executed multiple times, then reach fluctuation is executed (determined stop)” Determined to be a pseudo-continuous development failure. As described above, when the medium-time variation symbol variation is executed in the limited frequency state, the short-term variation symbol variation is executed after executing the variation manner similar to the short-term variation symbol variation described above. Special symbols (temporary stop symbols for which subsequent pseudo fluctuations will be executed) are temporarily stopped at the stop timing related to, so that after the pseudo fluctuations are repeated multiple times, the lost symbols are fixed and stopped without reaching It is comprised so that it may become a various fluctuation aspect. Next, in step 2320, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has the first half: “the contents of the effect suggesting the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation related to the latter half of the fluctuation” as the production contents related to the symbol fluctuation. The content of the effect suggesting the result of the change is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). In this way, when a medium-time fluctuation or long-variation time pattern fluctuation is executed in the limited frequency state, in the first half, as in the short-time fluctuation, the symbol fluctuation after the present (the current first half) In such a case, an effect that suggests the variation time of the symbol variation (including the latter half of the symbol variation) (for example, an effect that inquires whether or not to reach reach) is executed. (For example, an effect suggesting the expected degree of jackpot of the symbol variation). Thus, in the first half of the symbol fluctuation in the short fluctuation and in the first half of the symbol fluctuation in the medium fluctuation or long fluctuation, the symbol fluctuation after the present (including the latter half of the symbol fluctuation in the case of the current first half) An effect that suggests the fluctuation time of the image, i.e., the look-ahead effect is configured to be executed every time. An effect that is not an effect is executed. In this example, it is configured to execute “the contents of the effect that suggests whether or not the change is correct” in the latter half of the medium-time fluctuation and the long-time fluctuation. The period for executing “content” is not limited to this, and for example, “the relevant fluctuation” after the timing when the short fluctuation time ends, that is, after the timing of 10 seconds after the fluctuation start in the middle fluctuation time or the long fluctuation time. It may be configured to execute “the contents of the effect that suggests the result of the answer”. In addition, the “contents that suggest the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation related to the latter half of the fluctuation” executed in the first half of the symbol fluctuation of the short fluctuation time is always executed every time the pseudo fluctuation is executed. However, depending on the pseudo-variation, there may be a case where “the effect content suggesting the variation time of the symbol variation related to the latter half of the variation” is executed and the case where it is not executed. By configuring in this way, it is possible to always execute effects targeted for symbol fluctuations with relatively high expectation of big hits (long-term symbol fluctuations, symbol fluctuations in which reach effects are executed), and multiple notices It is possible to prevent a situation in which it is difficult to determine which effect suggesting the degree of expectation for which symbol variation is executed by combining the effects and the like. In the present embodiment, when a symbol variation other than a short variation in a limited frequency is executed, “pseudo variation (5 seconds) → pseudo variation (5 seconds) → pseudo variation is executed four times (5 seconds). X4 times) → Fixed stop in case of medium fluctuation, reach in case of long fluctuation, but not limited to this, “pseudo fluctuation (5 seconds) → pseudo fluctuation (5 seconds) → Leach → Pseudo fluctuation that temporarily stops the design that has reached reach is executed 4 times (5 seconds x 4 times). You may comprise so that pseudo fluctuation | variation (temporary stop) may be performed. When configured in this way, the larger the number of pseudo fluctuations (temporary stop) after reaching reach, the higher the jackpot expectation degree of the symbol fluctuation may be. Moreover, you may comprise so that a super reach may be performed after multiple times of pseudo fluctuations after a reach are performed.

  Next, FIG. 27 is an example of the effect execution image image 1 during the limited frequency relating to the pachinko gaming machine in the present embodiment. The image diagram shows an example of a limited frequency medium effect that is executed when a short variation (for example, 10 seconds) is executed in the limited frequency state. First, in the upper left of the figure, the first pseudo fluctuation (first half fluctuation) is executed as the decoration symbol fluctuation. As described above, in the short fluctuation, the fluctuation time of 10 seconds is divided into two fluctuations of the first half 5 seconds pseudo fluctuation and the second half 5 seconds fluctuation (the latter half fluctuation may be referred to as pseudo fluctuation). Is shown to be running. Next, as an effect during the first pseudo-variation (first-half variation), a notice effect (small) (one spot on the effect display device SG shines brightly) as an effect suggesting the variation time after the second half of the symbol variation. Production) is executed. Next, as a temporary stop symbol for the first pseudo fluctuation (first half fluctuation), a symbol having the same stop mode as the lost symbol is temporarily stopped. After that, the second pseudo variation (second half variation) is executed, and as an effect during the second pseudo variation, a notice effect (small) that suggests a change time after the next change (one place on the effect display device SG) A brilliant effect) is executed. In this example, in the first half of the short fluctuation and the second half of the fluctuation, the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation after the current running fluctuation (including the latter half of the symbol fluctuation during the first half fluctuation execution) is suggested. A notice effect is performed. That is, notifying whether or not the currently executing symbol variation is a reach, a notice effect is performed that suggests the expectation level of whether or not there is a symbol variation that will be reached after the currently executing symbol variation. In this example, “notice effect (small) = effect in which one place on the effect display device SG is shining brightly”, “notice effect (medium) = two places on the effect display device SG are "Presentation effect (large) = effect where three places on the effect display device SG shine clearly". In the figure, since there is no hold that is scheduled to reach reach in the existing hold, a case where the notice effect (small) is executed in both of the two notice effects is illustrated.

  Next, FIG. 28 is an example of the execution image of the limited frequency medium effect execution relating to the pachinko gaming machine in the present embodiment. An example of an effect during limited frequency that is executed when a long variation (for example, 60 seconds) is executed in the limited frequency state is shown. First, in the upper left of the figure, the first pseudo fluctuation (first half fluctuation) is executed as the decoration symbol fluctuation. In the long fluctuation, similar to the short fluctuation described above, after performing the two symbol fluctuations of the pseudo fluctuation in the first half 5 seconds and the pseudo fluctuation in the second half 5 seconds, a plurality of pseudo fluctuations are further executed. It is configured. By configuring in this way, since the variation mode of the decorative symbol looks similar to the short variation for 10 seconds from the start of the symbol variation, the player is expected to produce a notice mode effect. Next, as an effect during the first pseudo-variation (first-half variation), a notice effect (small) (one spot on the effect display device SG shines brightly) as an effect suggesting the variation time after the second half of the symbol variation. Production) is executed. Next, as a temporary stop symbol for the first pseudo fluctuation (first half fluctuation), a symbol having the same stop mode as the lost symbol is temporarily stopped. After that, the second pseudo variation (second half variation) is executed, and as an effect during the second pseudo variation, a notice effect (large) that suggests a change time after the next change (three places on the effect display device SG) A brilliant effect) is executed. In this example, in the first half of the long fluctuation, the notice effect that suggests the second half of the change time of the currently executed symbol fluctuation is executed. In other words, a notice effect that suggests the degree of expectation as to whether or not the second half of the currently executing symbol variation will be reached is configured to be executed. In the figure, since the symbol variation is a long variation and reaches reach, the state where the announcement effect (large) is executed in one of the two announcement effects is illustrated.

  Next, as a temporary stop symbol of the second pseudo variation, a special symbol (temporary stop symbol indicating that the pseudo variation is executed one or more times after the temporary stop) temporarily stops. After that, the third pseudo variation is executed, and as a notice effect, “big chance!” (An effect that informs that the expectation degree of the big hit of the symbol change is high) is an effect that suggests the success / failure result of the symbol change. Is displayed. Next, the special symbol temporarily stops as the temporary stop symbol of the third pseudo fluctuation. Thereafter, the pseudo variation is repeated, and the reach effect is executed at the seventh pseudo variation (design variation to be confirmed and stopped). Thereafter, at the seventh pseudo fluctuation (design fluctuation to be confirmed and stopped), the jackpot symbol is stopped as the symbol of the symbol fluctuation. As described above, the reach timing is not limited to the timing shown in the figure, and the reach may be configured at the timing when the second pseudo fluctuation ends. That is, when the short fluctuation is executed, the losing symbol is stopped as the stop symbol of the second pseudo fluctuation (the main fluctuation because the fixed stop is performed), while when the middle fluctuation or the long fluctuation is executed, 2 It may be configured such that a plurality of pseudo fluctuations (temporary stop) are executed in which reach is made at the first pseudo fluctuation, and then the reach is temporarily stopped.

In addition, you may comprise as follows as a structure which concerns on production during limited frequency.
(1) A plurality of types of notice effects that indicate the variation time of the symbol variation after the variation currently being executed (including the latter half of the symbol variation when the variation in the first half is being performed) are provided.
(2) In the medium fluctuation or long fluctuation, the notification mode that the pseudo fluctuation is further executed in the latter half of the fluctuation is not the temporary stop of the special symbol but the driving of the movable body accessory YK (the temporary symbol temporary). Both the stop and the driving of the movable body accessory YK may be executed simultaneously).
(3) A plurality of types of timings for reaching a long fluctuation are provided. Specifically, “pseudo variation 2 → reach”, “pseudo variation 3 → reach”, “pseudo variation 4 → reach”, “pseudo variation 5 → reach”, “pseudo variation 6 → reach”, Is provided such that the larger the number of pseudo fluctuations, the higher the expectation of jackpot (the background color may be changed depending on the number of pseudo fluctuations).
(4) After the reach effect is executed by the pseudo variation, the movable body accessory YK is driven to execute the next pseudo variation again. In such a configuration, the decorative design at the time when the reach effect is executed may be changed (for example, the reach of the first reach is “2” and the reach of the third reach is “7”). Reach with symbols, etc.)

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of prefetch effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2350 in FIG. First, in step 2352, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold A exists. In the case of Yes in step 2352, in step 2400, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a trigger A prefetch effect content determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2714). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2352, in step 2354, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold B exists. If Yes in step 2354 (that is, if trigger hold A does not exist and trigger hold B exists), in step 2450, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs trigger B prefetch effect content determination processing described later. To move to the next process (the process of step 2714). In the case of No in step 2354 (that is, when only the trigger hold C exists), in step 2550, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a trigger C pre-reading effect content determination process to be described later. The process proceeds to the process (the process of Step 2714).

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the trigger A prefetch effect content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the pre-read effect A flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the pre-reading effect A flag. Next, in step 2406, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines a pre-reading effect A scenario from the change to the change related to the trigger hold based on the number of changes until the trigger hold A and the result of the trigger hold. The process proceeds to step 2408. On the other hand, if NO in 2402, the process proceeds to step 2408.

  Next, in step 2408, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the trigger hold A. In the case of Yes in step 2408, in step 2410, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs the effect display device SG and the second effect display device SG-2 related to the symbol variation based on the determined prefetch effect A scenario. The content of the production and the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK are determined (the production content suggesting the result of the symbol variation on the trigger hold A), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2408, in step 2412, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S, based on the determined pre-reading effect A scenario, the effect display device SG and the second effect display device SG- related to the symbol variation. The effect content in 2 and the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK are determined (the effect content informing the success / failure result of the symbol variation). Next, in step 2414, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the pre-reading effect A-in-progress flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2714).

  Next, the lower part of the figure is a table showing an example of a prefetch effect A scenario. First, the upper part of the table shows the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK and the effects displayed on the second effect display device SG-2 when the number of fluctuations until the figure-side fluctuation related to the trigger hold A is 4 fluctuations. This shows an example of stepwise change. The operation mode of the movable body accessory YK is driven as “step 1 → step 1 → step 1 → step 2” from the first change to the fourth change (symbol change related to the trigger hold A). Further, at the fourth variation, the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK changes from “Step 1” to “Step 2”. Thus, in this embodiment, during the execution of the trigger A pre-reading effect that is a pre-reading effect that can be executed when the trigger hold A occurs, the stepwise driving mode of the movable body accessory YK changes. This is possible only during driving in the symbol variation related to the trigger hold A. On the other hand, the effect displayed on the second effect display device SG-2 is “step 1 → step 1 → step 3 → step 3” from the first change to the fourth change (symbol change related to the trigger hold A). To be executed. In addition, the effect display content changes from “Step 1” to “Step 3” at the third change, and the effect of “Step 3” is also executed at the fourth change. Thus, in the present embodiment, during the execution of the trigger A prefetch effect, which is a prefetch effect that can be executed when the trigger hold A is occurring, the stepwise effect in the second effect display device SG-2. The mode can be changed in any of the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension A and the symbol variation before the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension A.

  Next, the lower part of the table shows the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK and the stepwise change of the effect displayed on the second effect display device SG-2 when the number of changes until the trigger hold A is 3 changes. An example is shown. From the first change to the third change (design change related to the trigger hold A), the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK is driven as “step 1 → step 1 → step 2”, and “ "Step 1" changes to "Step 2". On the other hand, the effects displayed on the second effect display device SG-2 are executed as “step 1 → step 2 → step 3” from the first change to the third change (design change related to the trigger hold A). The second change changes from “step 1” to “step 2”, and the third change changes from “step 2” to “step 3”. The effect display content changes to 3. Thus, during the execution of the trigger A pre-reading effect, the jackpot expectation degree of the symbol fluctuation related to the trigger hold A is determined by the staged effects by both the movable body accessory YK and the second effect display device SG-2. It is structured to be able to suggest. In addition, although the stepwise effects of the movable body accessory YK and the second effect display device SG-2 can be changed to a mode in which the step is expected to have a higher jackpot expectation, the step does not change to a mode in which the expectation of a big hit is lower. It is configured as follows. Specifically, it can be “step 1” at the first variation and “step 2” at the second variation, but “step 2” at the first variation and “step 1” at the second variation. It is configured not to be. By comprising in this way, it can comprise so that the feeling of expectation to the symbol fluctuation | variation concerning a trigger suspension may not be reduced.

  The operation mode of the movable body accessory YK is configured such that the “step” (operation mode, etc.) can be changed only by the change related to the trigger hold A, while the display of the second effect display device SG-2. Is configured so that the “step” (display mode, etc.) can be changed even in a variation other than the variation related to the trigger hold A, and how the “step” changes before the symbol change related to the trigger hold. Whether to proceed is determined separately for the movable body accessory YK and the second effect display device SG-2. As described above, two different effects in each variation (in this example, the operation mode of the movable body accessory YK and the display content in the second effect display device SG-2) are changed (step-up) independently. It is said. By configuring in this way, during the execution of the trigger A prefetching effect, the combination of the two effects can be diversified in multiple stages by the combination of the two effects, which suggests the big hit expectation degree of the symbol variation related to the trigger hold A. Can do.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a trigger A pre-reading effect execution image FIG. 1 in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. First, in the upper left of the figure, under the situation that the decorative symbol is changing and the trigger hold A is displayed in “red” (“☆” in the figure is the trigger hold A), the trigger As the A pre-reading effect, “Chance!” Is displayed as the display corresponding to “Step 1” on the second effect display device SG-2, and the operation mode (short distance) where the movable body accessory YK corresponds to “Step 1” Drive down). Next, the next change (second change) is started in the upper center of the figure, and “Chance!” Is displayed as a trigger A pre-reading effect as a display corresponding to “Step 1” on the second effect display device SG-2. Is displayed, and the movable body accessory YK is driven in an operation mode (short distance descent) corresponding to “Step 1”. Next, the next change (third change) is started on the upper right side of the figure, and as a trigger A look-ahead effect, the second effect display device SG-2 displays “Great Chance! ! "Is displayed, and the movable body accessory YK is driven in an operation mode (short distance descent) corresponding to" Step 1 ".

  Next, on the lower left of the figure, the second variation display device SG-2 corresponds to “Step 3” as the trigger A pre-reading effect at the symbol variation (fourth variation) related to the trigger hold A that is the next variation. “Super Chance !!” is displayed as the display to be performed, and the movable body accessory YK is driven in an operation mode (large driving + rotation) corresponding to “Step 3”. Next, the reach effect is executed with the same variation (symbol variation related to trigger hold A). Next, the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the symbol for stopping the symbol variation. In the figure, “O” on-hold indicates non-trigger on-hold, and “☆” on-hold indicates trigger on-hold A.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a diagram showing a trigger A prefetch effect execution image FIG. 2 in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. The upper part of the figure shows a specific operation mode of the movable body accessory YK that can be driven in three stages from “Step 1” to “Step 3”. In “Step 1”, the movable body accessory YK descends a short distance (a driving range that overlaps a part of the upper portion of the effect display device SG). Next, in “Step 2”, the movable body accessory YK is largely driven up and down (driving range up to the vicinity of the center of the effect display device SG). Next, “Step 3” rotates after the movable body accessory YK is largely driven up and down (driving range to the vicinity of the center of the effect display device SG). In this way, the movable object is the more “step” (in order of increasing jackpot expectation, “step 3> step 2> step 1”), which indicates that the trigger hold A has a higher expectation of jackpot expectation. YK is configured to drive violently.

  Next, the lower part of the figure shows a display executed by the second effect display device SG-2 that can change in three stages from "Step 1" to "Step 3". In “Step 1”, the characters “Chance!” Are displayed on the second effect display device SG-2. Next, in “Step 2”, the characters “Great Chance !!” are displayed on the second effect display device SG-2. Next, in “Step 3”, the characters “Super Chance !!” are displayed on the second effect display device SG-2. As described above, in the second effect display device SG-2, “step” (“step 3> step 2> step 1” in descending order of the big hit expectation degree) suggests that the big hit expectation degree of the trigger hold A is high. The display is such that the player's expectation is enhanced as the value of the

  It should be noted that during execution of the trigger A pre-reading effect, the driving mode related to the movable body accessory YK (driving mode for a maximum of 4 variations) and the rendering mode related to the second performance display device SG-2 (a mode of rendering for a maximum of 4 variations) ) Is determined by combining the driving of the movable body accessory YK and the display of the second effect display device SG-2 as one pre-reading effect, and driving the movable body accessory YK and the second effect display device SG-2. The combination with the display may be determined by lottery. Further, when the trigger A pre-reading effect is executed, the variable effect is displayed, and the sum of the step relating to the movable body accessory YK and the step relating to the second effect display device SG-2 reaches a predetermined value. You may comprise so that the display mode of an effect may be changed (For example, it will be set as a normal effect in the 1st fluctuation | variation, and will be changed into a strong effect when the total step will be 4).

  In addition, the trigger A pre-reading effect is configured to be executable only in the non-time-reduced gaming state, but may be configured to be executed even in the time-reducing gaming state (the same applies to the trigger B pre-reading effect and the trigger C pre-reading effect). . Moreover, you may comprise so that the drive of the movable body accessory YK and the display in 2nd effect display apparatus SG-2 may be performed simultaneously as an effect during limited frequency.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of trigger C prefetch effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. First, in step 2552, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the pre-reading effect C flag is off. If Yes in step 2552, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the pre-reading effect C flag in step 2554. Next, in step 2556, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines a pre-reading effect C scenario from the change to the change related to the trigger hold based on the number of changes until the trigger hold C, and proceeds to the process of step 2558. . On the other hand, also in the case of No in 2552, the process proceeds to step 2558.

  Next, in step 2558, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the trigger hold C. In the case of Yes in step 2558, in step 2560, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect content in the effect display device SG related to the symbol variation based on the determined prefetch effect C scenario (the panel is filled). Effect), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). The effect that the panel is filled is executed at the change stop timing, and the total number of the panels that are filled is displayed on the effect display device SG. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2558, in step 2562, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the effect content in the effect display device SG related to the symbol variation based on the determined prefetch effect C scenario (panel is displayed). (Direction not buried). Next, in step 2564, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the pre-reading effect C flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714).

  Next, the lower part of the figure is a table showing an example of a prefetch effect C scenario. First, the upper part of the table shows an example of a staged change in the effect of filling the panel when the number of changes until the trigger hold C is 4 changes. From the 1st change to the 4th change (pattern change related to trigger hold C), one panel is filled → one panel is filled → one panel is filled → all panels are not filled → failed Progress. On the other hand, the lower part of the table shows an example of a stepwise change in the effect that the panel is filled when the number of changes until the trigger hold C is 3 changes. From the 1st change to the 3rd change (design change related to trigger hold C), the effect that the panel fills up is “one panel filled → two panels filled → failed to fill all panels” Progress. In the present embodiment, when four panels are filled, it is a game nature in which a lever turning effect is executed as an effect of symbol fluctuation related to the trigger hold, and the trigger hold C is applied when the trigger C prefetch effect is executed. As a design variation effect, it is configured such that a gaze effect is executed such that the lever-swing effect is not executed without filling the four panels. In addition, when the pre-reading effect (trigger B pre-reading effect, special pre-reading effect execution scenario is determined) when a trigger hold B (described later) exists, the design related to the trigger hold B As a result of the fluctuation, four panels are filled and the lever-squeezing effect is executed.

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of trigger B prefetch effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. First, in step 2452, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the pre-reading effect B flag is off. If Yes in step 2452, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the pre-reading effect B flag in step 2454. Next, in step 2456, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold C exists within the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2456, in step 2458, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the trigger hold B from the next fluctuation of the trigger hold C based on the number of changes to the trigger hold C and the number of changes to the trigger hold B. The special pre-reading effect execution scenario until the change related to is determined, and the process proceeds to step 2462. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2456, in step 2460, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines a prefetch effect B scenario from the change to the change related to the trigger hold B based on the number of changes until the trigger hold B, Control goes to step 2462. Note that if the result in Step 2452 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2462.

  Next, in step 2462, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the trigger hold B. In the case of Yes in step 2462, in step 2464, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold C exists within the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2464, in step 2465, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the trigger hold C. In the case of Yes in step 2465, in step 2466, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect content related to the symbol variation based on the determined special pre-reading effect execution scenario or the pre-reading effect B scenario, and the next processing The process proceeds to (Step 2714). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2462, in step 2468, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect content related to the symbol variation as the lever-squeezed effect (the effect contents differ based on the result of the determination). Next, in step 2470, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the lever turning effect execution permission flag. Next, in step 2472, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the pre-reading effect B flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). If step 2464 or step 2465 is No, in step 2550, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a trigger C prefetch effect content determination process to be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2714). To do.

  Next, the upper two of the four tables in the lower part of the figure are tables showing examples of special prefetch effect execution scenarios. First, the first table from the top shows an example of a staged change in the effect of filling the panel when the number of fluctuations until the trigger hold B is 4 and the number of changes until the trigger hold C is 3 changes. . In the first variation and the second variation, an effect in which one panel is filled is executed, and in the third variation (variation related to the trigger hold C), an effect in which the panel does not fill up and fails (a total of two panels is filled) (End effect) will be executed, but since the special prefetch effect execution scenario has been determined, at the 4th change (change related to trigger hold B), all four panels are filled, and then the lever is turned Production is performed. Further, the second table from the top shows an example of the stepwise change in the effect of filling the panel when the number of fluctuations until the trigger hold B is 4 and the number of changes until the trigger hold C is 2 changes. . In the first variation, an effect in which one panel is filled is executed, and in the second variation (variation related to the trigger hold C), an effect in which the panel is not filled and fails (an effect in which one panel is buried in total) is executed. However, since a special pre-reading effect execution scenario has been determined, an effect in which one panel is filled again is executed at the third change (because it has failed once, the panel at the time of the third change In the fourth variation (variation related to trigger hold B), the effect that the three panels are filled is executed, and then four panels are filled, and then the lever is turned Is executed. In this way, when the trigger hold C exists and the trigger C prefetch effect is being executed, if the special prefetch effect execution scenario is determined by the occurrence of the trigger hold B, the trigger hold C After the effect of filling the panel due to the symbol variation related to the failure, the panel is filled again, and all four panels are filled due to the symbol variation related to the trigger hold B. With this configuration, in the present embodiment, when the pre-reading effect is executed due to the presence of the trigger hold, basically, the pre-read lottery is not newly executed. The trigger hold is configured not to occur. However, in the situation where the trigger hold C is generated, only the trigger hold B can be generated. By configuring in this way, it is possible to execute a lever turning effect via an effect that four panels are filled with the symbol variation related to the trigger hold B, and the next variation of the symbol variation related to the trigger hold C (or Even in the case of symbol variation after the next variation), it is possible to configure so that the lever turning effect can be executed. The special prefetch effect execution scenario may be determined only when the next variation of the symbol variation related to the trigger hold C is the symbol variation related to the trigger hold B. In such a configuration, in the symbol variation related to the trigger hold B, only the effect in which all four panels are filled with one variation is executed (four panels in total over two variations). The effect that is buried is not executed).

  Next, the lower two of the four tables in the lower part of the figure are tables showing an example of the prefetch effect B scenario. First, the third table from the top shows an example of a stepwise change in the effect of filling the panel when the number of changes until the trigger hold B is 4 changes. In the first variation, the second variation, and the third variation, an effect that the panel is filled one by one is executed, and in the fourth variation (the variation related to the trigger hold B), the effect that one panel is filled is executed. In total, all four panels are filled, and then the lever roll effect is performed. Next, the lowermost table shows an example of a step change of the effect that the panel is filled in when the number of changes until the trigger hold B is 3 changes. In the first and second fluctuations, an effect in which one panel is filled is executed, and in the third fluctuation (figure related to trigger hold B), an effect in which two panels are filled is executed, so that all four in total. The panel is filled, and then the lever is produced. In addition, when all four panels are filled, it is a game nature in which a lever turning effect is executed as an effect of symbol variation related to the trigger hold B, and when a special prefetch effect execution scenario or a prefetch effect B scenario is determined, In the variation related to the trigger hold B, the four panels are filled, and the lever turning effect is executed as the effect of the symbol change related to the trigger hold B.

  Next, FIG. 35 is an example of a special prefetch effect execution scenario execution image diagram related to the pachinko gaming machine in the present embodiment. First, the trigger hold C has occurred on the upper left, and the trigger C prefetching effect is executed. Here, “◯” represents a hold that is not a trigger hold, “☆” represents a trigger hold C, and “★” represents a trigger hold B. Next, in the center of the upper stage, an effect in which one panel is filled is executed as the trigger C prefetch effect in the same variation. Next, the next change is started, trigger hold B occurs, and as the trigger C prefetching effect, an effect is obtained in which one panel is filled and a total of two is filled. Thereafter, the next variation is started, and as a pre-reading effect related to the trigger hold C, only two panels are filled and finished, and “failure...” That is a display indicating that four panels are not filled is displayed. Next, as the next variation, the symbol variation related to the trigger hold B starts, and since the production is finished without the four panels being filled due to the previous variation, the production is performed in which all four panels are filled from the state where none of the panels are filled. After that, the lever turning effect is executed with the same fluctuation. It should be noted that the effect display device SG (or the second effect display device SG-2) may be configured to display the number of currently buried panels.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. If Yes in step 2802, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination flag in step 2804. Next, in step 2806, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2809, the CPUSC of the sub control board S starts the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1, and proceeds to step 2810. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2802, the process proceeds to Step 2810.

  Next, in step 2810, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2810, in step 2811, the CPUSC of the sub control board S confirms the timer value of the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2812, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the decorative symbol variation start timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2812, in step 2814, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the decorative symbol variation display command (transmitted to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). Then, the process proceeds to step 2824.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2812, in step 2816, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the temporary stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) of the decorative symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2816, in step 2818, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a decorative symbol stop display command (temporary stop display command) (the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). The process proceeds to step 2824.

  If NO in step 2816, whether the CPUSC of the sub control board S has reached the display timing of the preview image or the reach image based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub control board S in step 2820. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2820, in step 2822, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub sub control unit SS side). The process proceeds to step 2824. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2820, the process proceeds to Step 2824. Next, in step 2824, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the lever-turning effect execution permission flag (the flag that is turned on by the symbol variation related to the trigger hold B) is on. In the case of Yes in step 2824, in step 2600, a lever turning effect execution process described later is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2830. In the case of No in step 2824, the process proceeds to step 2830.

  Next, in step 2830, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of Yes in step 2830, in step 2831, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative design (transmits to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). To be). Next, in step 2832, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2834, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol changing flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2900). Note that if the answer is No in Step 2810 or Step 2830, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2900).

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of lever turning effect execution processing according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2602, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a lever turning effect execution flag (a flag that is turned on when the lever turning effect is executed) is off. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the lever turning effect execution flag. Next, in step 2606, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs an effect that prompts the user to press the sub input button SB for a long time (for example, “Press and hold the button for a long time!” Is displayed for 3 seconds). Migrate to On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2602, the process proceeds to step 2608. Next, in step 2608, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the lever drive completion flag (a flag that is turned on when the operation of the lever SB-3 is valid) is off. In the case of Yes in step 2608, in step 2610, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not it is a button long press effective period (a period in which a long press operation of the sub input button SB is effective). In the case of Yes in step 2610, in step 2611, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the long press of the sub input button SB has been detected. In the case of Yes in step 2611, in step 2612, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the color of the aura based on the total time when the long press operation of the sub input button SB is detected in the button long press effective period (for example, (“Blue → Yellow → Green → Red” changes depending on the total time of long pressing the sub input button SB).

  Next, in step 2614, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the lever turning occurrence timing (timing whether or not the lever SB-3 is in a protruding state where it can be operated) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2614, in step 2616, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect that prompts the user to end the long press of the sub input button SB. Next, in step 2618, the CPUSC of the sub control board S detects the end of the long button press (when it detects that the operation of the sub input button SB has ended after detecting the long press of the sub input button SB). It is determined whether or not the end of the long press has been detected), and the process proceeds to step 2622. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2618, in step 2620, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the end time of the button long press effective period has been reached. If Yes in step 2620, the process proceeds to step 2622. Next, in step 2622, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation that is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2622, in step 2624, the CPUSC of the sub control board S drives the lever SB-3 to an operable state (a protruding state). Next, in step 2626, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays that the operation of the lever SB-3 is valid. Next, in step 2628, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the lever drive completion flag, and the process proceeds to step 2630. In the case of No in step 2608, the process proceeds to step 2630.

  Next, in step 2630, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the operation of the lever SB-3 is detected (Yes when the operation of the lever SB-3 is not detected for a predetermined time). In such a configuration, even when the lever SB-3 has not been operated for a predetermined time, the movable body accessory YK is driven in the same manner as when the lever SB-3 has been operated. At the same time, the effect display device SG displays that it is a big hit). In the case of Yes in step 2630, in step 2632, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S drives the movable body accessory YK and displays that it has been a big hit, and proceeds to step 2636. When the processing of step 2632 is executed, that is, the fact that the movable body accessory YK is driven and the effect display device SG displays a big hit, the player is in a state of lever turning that is being executed. It will be recognized that such symbol variation is a big hit. If NO in step 2622, in step 2634, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays that the operation of the lever SB-3 is not enabled, and proceeds to step 2636. Next, in step 2636, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the lever drive completion flag. Next, in step 2638, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the lever turning effect execution flag. Next, in step 2640, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the lever turning effect execution permission flag, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2830). It should be noted that if the answer is No in step 2610, step 2611, step 2614, step 2620, or step 2630, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2830).

  Next, FIG. 38 is an example of a lever turning effect execution image diagram related to the pachinko gaming machine in the present embodiment. Note that the effects are all effects that are executed with the same variation. First, from the upper left, the effect display device SG displays “Long press the button!” As an effect that prompts the long press of the sub input button SB. Next, when a long press of the sub input button SB is detected, a blue aura is displayed behind the character. After that, by keeping the sub input button SB pressed for a long time, the color of the aura changes from a blue aura to a green aura (for example, “blue → yellow → green”). ). Thereafter, “release the button !!” is displayed as an effect to prompt the end of the long press of the sub input button SB. When the player finishes long-pressing the sub input button SB according to the instruction and the symbol variation is a symbol variation that is a big hit, the lever SB-3 becomes operable (protruded state), and “lever” Is displayed in red (a plurality of colors that can be displayed like blue or red may be provided). Next, when the lever SB-3 is operated, the movable body accessory YK is driven, and the effect display device SG displays that the symbol variation is a big hit (displayed as “big hit!”). Thereafter, the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the symbol for stopping the symbol variation. On the other hand, when the long press of the sub input button SB is finished and the symbol variation is a loss of symbol variation, the lever SB-3 does not become operable (the lever SB-3 protrudes) In other words, the operation is not effective) and “failure !!” is displayed on the effect display device SG. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the lever turning effect is executed, when the sub input button SB is pressed for a long time and then the long pressing is finished, the lever SB is used when the symbol variation is a big hit. -3 is effective, while the symbol variation is lost, the lever SB-3 is not effective, that is, the symbol variation is a big hit depending on whether the lever SB-3 is effective. It can be determined whether or not. In other words, the timing at which whether or not the symbol variation is appropriate is the timing at which the lever SB-3 is activated. Although configured in this way, at the timing when the lever SB-3 becomes effective, the player is not notified directly whether or not the symbol fluctuation is a big hit, and the symbol fluctuation is a big hit. In this case, the timing at which the player is actually notified of the big hit is the timing after the lever SB-3 is operated after the lever SB-3 is operated.

  As described above, when the lever turning effect is executed, the effective period of the sub input button SB and the effective period of the lever SB-3 are continuously provided. Further, a notice effect may be executed at the timing when the long press of the sub input button SB is finished (for example, an effect in which the character punches toward the image of the lever SB-3).

  Next, FIG. 39 is a flowchart of special game related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2900 of FIG. First, in step 2902, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special gaming flag is OFF. If Yes in step 2902, in step 2904, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2904, in step 2912, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the special gaming flag. Next, in step 2914, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command related to the big hit start display, and proceeds to step 2916. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2902, the process proceeds to step 2916.

  Next, in step 2916, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command for sequentially displaying the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes. Next, in step 2926, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command is received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2926, in step 2928, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command related to the big hit end display on the effect display device SG (performs appropriate display based on the big hit type). Next, in step 2930, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the special gaming flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2999). Note that if the result is No in step 2904 or step 2926, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2999).

  By configuring as described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has three pre-read effects such as the trigger A pre-read effect, the trigger B pre-read effect, and the trigger C pre-read effect as the pre-read effects. Depending on the type of trigger hold being used, various types of pre-read effects such as a notice effect during pre-read effects, conditions for executing the pre-read effects, presence or absence of pseudo-continuous fluctuations when executing the pre-read effects, expectation of big hits when the pre-read effects are executed, etc. This makes it possible to make different elements, and the fun of the game is enhanced.

(Second Embodiment)
Here, in this embodiment, although it comprised so that it might become a highly interesting game machine by mainly giving a variation in a prefetch effect, the element which improves the interest property of a game is not limited only to a prefetch effect. Therefore, such a configuration will be described as a second embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  Next, FIG. 40 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board S side in the second embodiment. The differences from the present embodiment are step 2700 (second), step 2650 (second), and step 2750 (second), that is, in step 2500, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs the hold information management process. After the execution, in step 2700 (second), the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decoration symbol display content determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2650 (second), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a first decorative symbol display control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2750 (second), the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a second decorative symbol display control process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the process of step 2900.

  Next, FIG. 41 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2700 (second) in FIG. 40 in the second embodiment. First, in step 2716, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2716, in step 2718, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination permission flag. Next, in step 2720, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation related to the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2720, in step 2722, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the variation mode group related to the symbol variation is group 3 (a variation mode group having a relatively long variation time). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2722, in step 2726, the CPUSC of the sub control board S can execute pseudo continuous execution based on the information from the main control board M side (whether or not the pattern change is a pattern change that executes pseudo continuous change). To decide. In addition, as information from the main control board M side, it may be configured to determine whether or not pseudo-continuous execution is possible based on a lottery result, a variation mode determination random number, a variation mode group, and the like. Here, quasi-continuous variation means that after a single variation of the main game symbol, “temporary stop display of left / middle / right symbol → revariation (also referred to as pseudo variation)” is repeated a plurality of times. This is an effect technique in which the main game symbol is stopped so that the player can see the main game symbol fluctuating a plurality of times during a single fluctuation of the main game symbol. In addition, you may comprise so that the ratio in which the pseudo | simulation continuous fluctuation | variation is performed may be higher in the case where the said symbol fluctuation becomes a big hit than the case where the said symbol fluctuation becomes a loss.

  Next, in step 2730, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation that executes pseudo continuous variation based on whether or not the pseudo continuous execution is determined in step 2726. In the case of Yes in step 2730, in step 2850 (second), the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a pseudo-continuous effect content determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2740. Further, in the case of No in step 2730, in step 2731, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is based on the information about the stop symbol and the variation mode of the main game design, based on the first decoration design (information from the main control board M side). The stop symbol and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol to be displayed are controlled and stored temporarily. Here, in 2nd Embodiment, it has with two types of decorative designs, a 1st decorative design and a 2nd decorative design, as a decorative design. The first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are independent of each other, and the game result can be notified by combining three numerical symbols of the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol. The first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are both independently controlled for display on the presentation display control means (sub-main control unit) SM side based on information from the main control board M side. Thus, by making good use of these two types of decorative symbols, it is configured to enhance the interest in production and make it easier to grasp the progress of the game. Here, in the second embodiment, the first decorative symbol is composed of three columns of the left column, the middle column, and the right column, and the result of success / failure can be notified by arranging three effective lines. Line) is one line, meaning that if the same number design is aligned on the effective line, it means a big hit (conversely, if the same number design is not aligned on the effective line, it will be lost). In addition, in the left column, middle column, and right column (or only in the middle column), a “special symbol” in addition to a numeric symbol (it does not mean a big hit when displayed on the active line, but after that a big hit (A symbol for notifying that an error can occur) can be stopped (temporarily stopped), and numeric symbols can also be temporarily stopped in the middle of symbol variation. The temporary stop means that the decorative symbols of all the rows are temporarily stopped during the period from the start of the variable display of the main game symbol to the stop display. This means a state where the variable display can be started again during the period (hereinafter, used in the same meaning).

  Next, in step 2732, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines a stop pattern and a variation mode of the second decorative design (a so-called decorative design that is display-controlled based on information from the main control circuit board M side) and temporarily changes it. Remember. Here, in the second embodiment, the second decorative symbol is composed of three columns, ie, the left column, the middle column, and the right column, and the effective line (the line in which it is effective to arrange the same numeric symbol) is 1. If it is a line and the same numeric symbol is aligned on the effective line, it means a big hit (conversely, if the same numeric symbol is not aligned on the effective line, it will be lost). Further, only the numeric symbols can be stopped in the left column, the middle column, and the right column (the “special symbol” does not stop like the first decorative symbol), and the temporary column is not temporarily stopped during the symbol variation. . As described above, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are configured to independently determine display contents for notifying whether or not the main game symbol is true, that is, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are determined. The decorative symbol has a property that both parties can notify the result of the main game symbol independently as a basic property.

  Next, in step 2733, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the decorative symbol effect contents with reference to the decorative symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (for example, the decorative symbol effect table 1 to the decorative symbol effect table 2), and displays it. Update timing and display update contents are set and temporarily stored.

  Here, FIG. 42 and FIG. 43 (decorative symbol effect table 1, ornament symbol effect table 2) are the ornament symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (decorative symbol effect table 1, in particular, a part of the case where the result is wrong, And, it is an example of the decorative design effect table 2, in particular, a part of the case where the success / failure result is a big hit. In the drawing, the first decorative design may be simply described as the first decorative design, and the second decorative design may be described as the second decorative design (the same applies hereinafter). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the result of the main game symbol (shown in the leftmost column, in this example, “losing” or “big hit”) and the decorative symbol (first decorative symbol) And the second decorative symbol) are shown in the second column on the left. In this example, only in the case of “pseudo continuous failure (total production time 30 seconds)” and “super reach (total production time 60 seconds)”. Example) and the obtained random number value (the random value obtained on the sub-main board SM side, a part of the random value is shown in the third column on the left) and the decorative design effect content (the fourth column on the left) In this example, “main effect A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1” and “main effect B-1 (big hit) pseudo-ream” etc.) can be determined. When the decoration symbol effect content is determined, “display update timing” and “display update content” can be uniquely determined. For example, if the decoration design effect content = “A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1”, “display update content” = “device update timing” at “display update timing” = “at the start of change (after 0 seconds)” The figure change start (all columns of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol) is determined, and “display update timing” = “12 seconds after start of change” “display update content” = “first figure temporary stop display” (Left column), “2nd figure variation display” is determined. Then, as will be described later, the “display update content” that has reached the “display update timing” corresponds to the first decorative symbol according to the elapsed time related to the variation time of the decorative symbol (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol). This is sequentially executed for each of the second decorative symbols. That is, when “A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1” is determined, all the columns of the first decorative symbol and all the columns of the second decorative symbol are variably displayed, and then “display update timing” = “variation start” If the display is controlled so that all the columns are hidden (even if they are displayed in a fluctuating manner) until the time “12 seconds later” is reached, the second decorative symbol is When the display control is performed so that all the columns are variably displayed (the state of the variably displayed can be visually recognized) and “display update timing” = “12 seconds after the start of variation” is reached, the first decorative symbol is displayed. With respect to the second decorative symbol, the display control is performed so that only the left column stops, while the second decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner. As described above, the basic operation in the example of this example is that the main game is performed regardless of whether the first decorative symbol is visible to the player (easy to see) or not visible (difficult to see). When the symbol is displayed in a variable manner, the second decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner. When the main game symbol is stopped (including a temporary stop display and a fixed stop display), the second decorative symbol is displayed as a stop display. (Including temporary stop display and fixed stop display). It should be noted that the effect pattern (series of display contents) defined by “A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1” is different from the effect pattern defined by the name of other decorative design effect contents (that is, the display contents are different). ) To supplement that In addition, the range of the random number value is “0 to 1023” in all the variation modes, and this drawing excerpts a part of the random number range in the diagram variation mode. The random number range of the acquired random number value and the random number range of the acquired random value corresponding to the drawing variation mode different from the certain drawing variation mode are different from each other, but both are "0 to 1023" Range).

  Here, in the second embodiment, so-called pseudo-continuous variation can be executed. Specifically, the decorative symbol effect contents “A-1 (lost) pseudo-run 1”, “A-” in this example are configured. 2 (losing) pseudo-ream 2 ”and“ B-2 (big hit) pseudo-ream 2 ”. For example, in the decorative symbol effect content “A-2 (losing) pseudo-continuation 2”, “display update timing” = “start of change (after 0 seconds)”, “display update content” = “design change start (first) After “1st decoration pattern and all 2nd decoration symbols)” is executed, “display update timing” = “after 12 seconds from start of change”, “after 13 seconds from start of change”, “after 14 seconds from start of change” Display update content ”=“ first design temporary stop display (left column) ”(the left column of the first decorative symbol is the stop display),“ first design temporary stop display (right column) ”(the first decorative symbol of the first decorative symbol) The right column is the stop display), and the “first design special symbol temporary stop display” (the middle column of the first decorative symbol is the stop display at the above-mentioned “special symbol”) is sequentially executed. After that, when “display update timing” = “15 seconds after the start of change”, “display update content” = “first figure change start (all rows)” (only the first decorative symbols are changed and displayed again) After execution, “display update timing” = “change start 26 seconds”, “change start 27 seconds”, “change start 28 seconds”, “display update content” = “first equipment temporary stop display ( (Left column) ”(the left column of the first decorative symbol is displayed as a stop),“ First display temporary stop display (right column) ”(the right column of the first decorative symbol is displayed as a stop),“ Special symbol of the first component ” By sequentially executing “temporary stop display” (the middle display of the first decorative symbol is the “special symbol” described above), the player can perform the first display during the one-time variation display of the main game symbol. For one decorative symbol, it appears that the symbol has changed several times.

  In the second embodiment, the second decorative symbol is configured such that the “special symbol” is not temporarily stopped. However, this is not a matter of difficulty in grasping the progress of the game with respect to the first decorative symbol. Since the main purpose is to improve the game performance, the second decorative symbol provided to ensure that the progress of the game is easy to grasp is “special symbol” (ie, if it is displayed on the active line, it is a big hit This is because, however, a symbol that may make it difficult to grasp the progress of the game, such as a symbol for notifying that a big hit may occur thereafter, is not displayed. In the case of the above-mentioned “non-display” (both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be included), a state in which the display is fluctuating at high speed (a changing state in which an afterimage can be seen) may be included. In the case of the above-mentioned “display” (both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be included), the state of being displayed in a variable manner at a low speed (in the case of a display mode that varies from top to bottom) , A fluctuating state slowly moving from the top toward the (temporary) planned stop position).

  In the second embodiment, the second decorative symbol is configured not to temporarily stop in the middle of the change (and the “special symbol” does not stop). However, the second decorative symbol is not limited to this. Similarly to the first decorative design, it may be configured such that it can be temporarily stopped in the middle of the fluctuation (and a pseudo fluctuation can occur). That is, in such a configuration, all the columns of the first decorative symbol and all the columns of the second decorative symbol have substantially the same operation contents of the change display and the stop display (including the temporary stop), and are stopped and displayed. It will be configured so that the types of symbols to be different. Further, in the present embodiment, the reach generation timing of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is the same. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the first decorative symbol reaches reach, the second decorative symbol is used. May be configured such that the reach generation timings of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are different so as to reach at the display start timing (or development timing) of the reach image in the effect display device SG.

  The second decorative symbol need not always be displayed during the main game symbol variation display, and the display condition and display mode of the second decorative symbol may be appropriately changed. For example, (1) a specific effect is being generated (instead of making the first decorative symbol invisible, it is an effect in which a movie moving image is reproduced using the entire display area SG10 on the effect display device SG, or so-called The second decorative symbol is displayed in (2) a specific reach effect, in which the effect that the movable accessory for effect advances into a state of covering the display area SG10 on the effect display device SG can be given. (Instead of making the first decorative symbol unrecognizable, it is at the time of execution of a reach effect in which the jackpot expectation rises significantly, for example, the display content of the effect performed on the effect display device SG is forcibly paused. The second decorative design is displayed only when the so-called freeze reach production is performed, and the second decorative design is displayed for the other reach production (especially when the reach production with a low expectation of big hit is performed). (3) Different positions of appearance of the second decorative symbols on the effect display device SG according to the effect pattern (for example, the effect movable body accessory YK sets the display area SG10 on the effect display device SG). In the case of an effect that advances into the cover-up state, the effect is moved to the display area SG10 on the effect display device SG that is not covered by the movable object YK for the effect), and (4) the first decorative symbol is moved.・ While reduction / enlargement display can be performed, the second decorative symbol cannot be moved / reduced / enlarged display, or the probability, movement width, and reduction rate at which movement / reduction / enlargement display is performed The enlargement ratio or the like may be lower than the first decorative design.

  Next, in step 2734, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is an effect in which the effect contents of the symbol variation are displayed as a timer effect (timer value is displayed on the effect display device SG, and the timer value is subtracted and displayed. Is transferred to step 2740.

  If NO in step 2720 or step 2722, in step 2734, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines that the CPUSC of the sub control board S is based on the information about the stop symbol and the variation mode of the main game symbol. A stop symbol and a variation pattern of (decorative symbol that is displayed and controlled based on information from the main control board M side) are determined and temporarily stored. Next, in step 2735, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the stop design and variation mode of the second decorative design (a so-called decorative design that is display-controlled based on information from the main control board M side) and temporarily changes it. Remember. Next, in step 2736, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the decorative symbol effect contents with reference to the decorative symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (for example, the decorative symbol effect table 1 to the decorative symbol effect table 2). Update timing and display update contents are set and temporarily stored. Next, in step 2737, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the effect content of the symbol variation based on the variation pattern and stop mode of the first decorative symbol determined in step 2734, and proceeds to step 2740.

  Next, in step 2740, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next processing {step 2650 (second) processing}. Even in the case of No in step 2716, the process proceeds to the next process {step 2650 (second) process}.

  In the above description, the main game symbol whose display is controlled on the main control board M side is the first main game side (first main game symbol) or the second main game side ( Although it is not mentioned whether it is the second main game symbol), basically, the display contents of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are determined in correspondence with the first main game symbol. Alternatively, the display contents of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be determined in correspondence with the second main gaming symbol, that is, the variation display of the first main gaming symbol and the second main gaming symbol. Regardless of which of the variable display is performed, the variable display of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be executed in conjunction with it. However, this is not limited to the time-reduced gaming state (the state accompanied by the so-called electric support state). For example, in the time-reduced gaming state, the first main game symbol change display and the second main game symbol change. Regardless of which of the displays is performed, it may be configured so that only one of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is executable in association with the display. Although the details will be described later, the “special symbol” in the pseudo continuous fluctuation may not be included in the stop mode that can be temporarily stopped (provisionally stopped), does not stop fixedly, and notifies the big hit. It is configured. In the second embodiment, the timer effect is configured to be executed only in the symbol variation in which the pseudo continuous variation is not performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the timer effect is also performed in the symbol variation in which the pseudo continuous variation is performed. May be configured to be executed. In such a configuration, the effect that the egg breaks and the timer effect, which will be described later, are executed with the same symbol variation, but the timing at which the egg breaks and the timing at which the timer value becomes 0 are different. You may comprise so that it may become. By configuring in this way, it is possible to make the content of the effect suggested by the timer effect different from the content of the effect suggested by cracking the egg, and each of the symbol fluctuations being executed than when each is executed alone It can be configured to increase the expectation of jackpot. Specifically, an effect mode such that the egg is broken and displayed as “Gekiatsu” 15 seconds after the start of symbol variation, and the timer value becomes 0 and a cut-in effect is displayed 20 seconds after the symbol variation starts, can be exemplified.

  Next, FIG. 44 is an example of a timer effect execution image diagram according to the pachinko gaming machine in the second embodiment. All the effects are executed with the same variation. First, from the upper left, the decorative symbols have changed and a notice effect has been executed. Next, “time remaining 15 seconds!” Is displayed as a timer value display, and a meter is displayed as a timer value display. Thereafter, the display of the timer value and the meter are subtracted, and “5 seconds remaining!” Is displayed. Thereafter, the display of the timer value is 0 second and all the display of the meter is subtracted, the display of the meter and the timer value is deleted, and “Success!” Is displayed as the notice effect. Thereafter, the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a stop display related to the symbol variation. In this way, when the timer value is displayed, subtraction of the timer value is started from the display timing, and a notice effect that suggests whether or not the symbol variation is correct is displayed at the timing when the display of the timer value becomes “0 seconds”. Will be executed. Note that the notice effect is a notice effect that can be executed even in the effect of changing the symbol in which the timer effect is not executed. When the timer effect is generated, the jackpot expectation degree related to the symbol variation being executed is higher than when the timer effect is not generated. In addition, when the timer effect is executed, the larger the initial value of the timer value (or the later the timing at which the timer value becomes “0 seconds”), the higher the jackpot expectation related to the symbol variation being executed. Although it is configured, when the egg special symbol described later temporarily stops, it cannot be determined until the player breaks when the egg breaks, but when the timer effect is executed, the timer The player can recognize at what timing the timer value becomes “0 seconds” when the value is displayed.

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the pseudo-continuous effect content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2850 (second) in FIG. First, in step 2852, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation that is a big hit. In the case of Yes in Step 2852, in Step 2854, the CPUSC of the sub control board S wins the egg special symbol distribution lottery that will be won in half {preliminary stop symbol (also referred to as pseudo-continuous symbol at the time of execution of pseudo variation) ) ”Is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2858. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2852, in step 2856, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes the egg special symbol distribution lottery to be won in 1/10, and the process proceeds to step 2858. In the second embodiment, the winning rate of the egg special symbol allocation lottery at step 2854 is ½, and the winning rate of the egg special symbol allocation lottery at step 2856 is 1/10. In other words, when the symbol variation is a big hit, the egg special symbol allocation lottery is more easily won than when the symbol variation is lost.

  Next, in step 2858, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the egg special symbol allocation lottery executed in step 2854 or step 2856 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2858, in step 2860, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the temporary stop symbol related to the pseudo variation as the egg special symbol. In addition, when this process (pseudo fluctuation effect content determination process) is performed, since it becomes Yes in step 2730, the said symbol fluctuation is determined to be pseudo continuous fluctuation. Here, in the second embodiment, as the temporary stop symbol related to the pseudo variation at the time of execution of the pseudo continuous variation, the two types of temporary stop symbols of the egg special symbol and the special symbol can be temporarily stopped, When the egg special symbol is temporarily stopped as the temporary stop symbol, the jackpot expectation degree related to the symbol variation being executed is higher than when the special symbol is temporarily stopped as the temporary stop symbol. When the temporary stop symbol is determined to be an egg special symbol, an egg split effect (the effect of breaking a stocked egg may be referred to as an egg split effect) is executed.

  Next, in step 2862, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the egg breaking timing from the egg beat timing based on the result of the symbol variation, and moves to step 2866. Here, the lower right part of the figure and the lower part of the figure are the image division timing determination image and the pseudo-continuous effect execution image. As shown in the derived image, in the symbol variation where the egg split effect is executed, that is, in the symbol variation where the egg special symbol stops as a temporary stop symbol in the pseudo variation, the egg special symbol is temporarily After stopping, the egg displayed as a part of the egg special symbol continues to be displayed (stocked) on the effect display device SG, and the stocked egg is broken at any egg beat timing. The egg split effect is configured to be executed (details of the effect will be described later with reference to an image diagram). In the second embodiment, four egg timings are provided at intervals of 5 seconds. When an egg is stocked, the egg breaks at any one of the four timings. It is configured as follows. In addition, it is determined by lottery whether the egg beat timing is determined, and the contents of the lottery table are different depending on whether the symbol change is a big hit or a loss. Specifically, the number related to the fourth egg-turning timing, which is the latest timing, is “324” when the symbol variation is a big hit, and “124” when the symbol variation is lost. Therefore, the case where the symbol variation is a big hit is easier to select than the case where the loss occurs. In addition, the number relating to the first egg-turning timing, which is the earliest timing, is “100” when the symbol variation is a big hit, and is “400” when the symbol variation is lost. The case where the symbol variation is a big hit is less likely to be selected than the case where the loss occurs. In this way, the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit increases as the egg breaking timing is determined to be late. In addition, as a specific example when the egg breaks, (1) the egg breaks at the second temporary stop of the pseudo fluctuation → the effect that the third pseudo fluctuation is executed and the third pseudo fluctuation (2) The egg breaks immediately before the cut-in effect is executed during the super reach → The cut-in effect of the giraffe pattern with high expectation of the big hit is executed as the cut-in effect, (3) The end of the super reach An egg breaks at the time of execution of the final beat production that speaks the result of the symbol variation being executed. → It is informed that it is a big hit. (4) Timing at which it is informed that it is lost as a result of symbol variation after super reach It may be configured such that an effect such as breaking an egg at → and notifying that it has been revived and is a big hit is executed.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, if No in step 2858, in step 2864, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the temporary stop symbol of the first decorative symbol related to the pseudo variation as a special symbol, and proceeds to step 2866. . Next, in step 2866, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops the symbols (the left column and the right column in this example) in which the first decorative symbol is not determined based on the information about the stop symbol and the variation mode of the main game symbol. The temporary stop symbol and the fixed stop symbol of all the columns) and the variation mode are determined. In the second embodiment, the egg special symbol and the special symbol are configured to temporarily stop in the middle row. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the egg special symbol may be temporarily stopped in the left column or the right column. Instead of the middle row and the right row, the first decorative symbol may be displayed in only one column, and the egg special symbol or the special symbol may be temporarily stopped as the temporary stop symbol related to the one column. . Next, in step 2868, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the stop symbol and variation mode of the second decorative symbol based on the information regarding the stop symbol and variation mode of the main game symbol. In the second embodiment, the temporary stop symbol of the second decorative symbol is configured not to temporarily stop the egg special symbol and the special symbol, and the egg special symbol is temporarily set as the temporary stop symbol of the first decorative symbol. When stopped and when the special symbol is temporarily stopped, the second decorative symbol is variably displayed. Next, in step 2870, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the decorative symbol effect content based on the result of the main game symbol and the variation pattern of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, the display update timing, the display The update contents are set, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2740).

  Next, FIG. 46 is an example of a pseudo-continuous effect execution image diagram related to the pachinko gaming machine in the second embodiment. All the effects are executed with the same variation. First, from the upper left, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol vary on the effect display device SG. Next, the egg special symbol is stopped and displayed as a temporary stop symbol of pseudo fluctuation. Next, when the egg special symbol is stopped, the egg is displayed (stocked) in the lower right of the effect display device SG, and the display of “Egg Get!” Is displayed indicating that the egg has been stocked. Is done. Next, the egg beat timing is the first time, and an effect that the stocked egg shakes is executed, but the egg is not broken at this timing. Next, the egg squeezing effect is performed for the second time, and after the effect that the eggs in stock are shaken is executed, the egg is broken and a chick appears, and “Gekiatsu” is displayed. Thereafter, the reach effect is executed, and the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the stop symbol related to the symbol variation. In addition, the effect that the egg such as the display of “Gekiatsu” illustrated in the figure is broken and displayed is an effect that can be executed even when the egg is not stocked, in other words, even when the egg special symbol is not temporarily stopped. (For example, when a special symbol is temporarily stopped). In addition, you may provide the production | presentation which can be performed only when an egg special symbol stops temporarily and an egg cracks. In addition, a plurality of types of effects in the symbol variation in which the pseudo continuous variation is executed are provided so that the egg special symbol can be temporarily stopped and the egg special symbol is not continuously stopped. May be. In this way, the stocked egg is configured to continue to be displayed on the effect display device SG until it breaks, but the stocked egg display area can be visually recognized by the player, such as a decorative symbol display area or a holding display area. It is desirable that the display area does not overlap with a suitable display.

  Also, in this example, during the pseudo-continuous variation, the player is informed that the pseudo-continuous variation is executed (the pseudo-variation is executed thereafter) by stopping the egg special symbol or the special symbol as a temporary stop symbol. Although it was configured to be able to recognize, it is not limited to this, informing in advance that the pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed (informing in advance that the pseudo fluctuation is executed), and at a later timing It may be configured to notify which temporary stop symbol is temporarily stopped (all temporary stop symbols for which pseudo fluctuation is to be executed). Specifically, first, “Pseudo reaming get!” Is displayed as a notification that the pseudo fluctuation is executed, and then “Golden egg” is displayed as a four-division display (similar to the effect of filling the panel described above). From “Red Egg”, “Normal Egg”, and “No Egg”, it is possible to execute an effect of determining which eggs are stocked and whether or not the eggs are stocked in a roulette effect.

  Next, FIG. 47 is a flowchart of the first decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2650 (second) in FIG. First, in step 2652, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2652, in step 2654, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination flag. Next, in step 2656, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2658, the CPUSC of the sub control board S starts the drawing change time management timer SM21t-1, and proceeds to step 2660. Note that if the answer is No in step 2652, the process proceeds to step 2660.

  Next, in step 2660, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the first symbol variation flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2660, in step 2662, the CPUSC of the sub control board S checks the timer value of the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, at step 2664, whether or not the CPUSC of the sub control board S has reached the variation start timing of the first decorative symbol based on the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1 and the temporarily stored variation mode. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2664, in step 2666, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the first decorative symbol variation display command (transmitted to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). Then, the process proceeds to step 2680.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2664, in step 2668, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops the display timing of the first decorative symbol based on the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1 and the temporarily stored variation mode. It is determined whether or not (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2668, in step 2670, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the temporary stop display timing is the temporary stop timing in the pseudo variation. In the case of Yes in step 2670, in step 2672, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the first decorative design (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub sub control unit). The process proceeds to step 2680. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2670, the CPUSC of the sub control board S temporarily stops the special symbol or the egg special symbol as a temporary stop symbol at the time of the pseudo variation execution related to the first decorative symbol in step 2675. A stop display command (temporary stop) is set, and the process proceeds to step 2680.

  If NO in step 2668, in step 2676, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the display timing of the preview image and the reach image based on the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1 and the temporarily stored variation mode. It is determined whether it has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2676, in step 2678, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub sub control unit SS side). The process proceeds to step 2680. In the case of No in step 2676, the process proceeds to step 2680.

  Next, in step 2680, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not it is the timing at which the main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, the main game symbol is stopped and displayed from the main control board M side). It is determined whether or not the information is received). In the case of Yes in step 2680, in step 2682, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a stop display command (deterministic display command) for the first decorative symbol (the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). To be sent). Next, in step 2682, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2684, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops and resets the drawing variation time management timer. Next, in step 2686, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol changing symbol, and proceeds to the next process {step 2750 (second) process}. Even in the case of No in step 2660 or step 2680, the process proceeds to the next process {process in step 2750 (second)}.

  Next, FIG. 48 is a flowchart of the second decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2750 (second) in FIG. First, in step 2752, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the first symbol variation flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2752, in step 2754, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a second decorative symbol change display execution command (command for displaying the second decorative symbol in a variable manner) (display command transmission in step 2999). Is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the control process), and the process proceeds to Step 2756.

  Next, in step 2756, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not it is the timing at which the main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, referring to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, the main control board M It is determined whether or not information indicating that the main game symbol is stopped and displayed is received from the side). In the case of Yes in step 2756, in step 2758, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a stop display command (determined display command) of the second decorative symbol (the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). To the next process (the process of step 2900). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2900) also in the case of No in step 2752 or step 2756.

  Here, the lower part of the figure is a decorative symbol display area image diagram. As shown in the figure, the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol, and the hold display (the hold relating to the first main game symbol and the hold relating to the second main game symbol may be displayed simultaneously) are effect display devices. In the second embodiment, in the progress of the game, the first decoration symbol is stopped and displayed at the final display timing (the timing at which the main game symbol is stopped and displayed) in the second embodiment. Since the first decorative symbol becomes the main decorative symbol, the first decorative symbol has higher visibility than the second decorative symbol (the displayed area is supposedly larger). In the second embodiment, the variation start timing and variation end timing (determined display timing) of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are the same timing.

  By configuring as described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment is configured so that the egg special symbol can be stopped as a temporary stop symbol of the pseudo variation in the pseudo continuous variation, and the egg special symbol is temporarily stopped. In such a case, the egg is stocked and the egg is broken by the fluctuation, and a plurality of egg breaking timings are provided as the egg breaking timing. did. By configuring in this way, it is possible to know at which timing the timer value is displayed as “0 seconds” when the timer effect is displayed, and when the egg is stocked. If the egg does not break at the egg beat timing, the player cannot recognize which egg beat timing the next time the egg will break, so each time the egg beat timing comes, the player It will hope that it will not break, and if the egg does not break, it will hope that the egg will not break at the next egg beat timing, so that the expectation will expand towards the second half of the pattern fluctuation A highly interesting production can be created.

  In addition, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, two types of decorative symbols, a first decorative symbol and a second decorative symbol, are provided, and the first decorative symbol is not displayed (stop display / variable display). In other words, the player can always visually recognize one of the decorative symbols by configuring the second decorative symbol to be displayed (variable display) even when it is difficult to see. Therefore, it is possible to provide a user-friendly gaming machine that can accurately determine whether the symbol is stopped or whether the jackpot symbol is stopped.

Note that the pachinko gaming machine according to this example may be configured as follows.
(1) A jackpot that shifts to a probability-variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state after the jackpot is over. A big hit A is provided.
(2) A small hit A in which the opening mode of the big winning opening is “0.2 second open → 0.2 second closed → 0.2 second open → closed” is provided (the big hit A and the small hit A are the big winning openings) Are similar in appearance, and it is difficult for the player to determine which one is being executed.)
(3) As the limited frequency state, the limited frequency state A and the limited frequency state A are at least a limited frequency state B in which at least a part of a table (limited frequency table) referred to when determining the variation mode is different. Have.
You may comprise as mentioned above. In addition, in such a configuration,
(A) After the execution of the big hit A and the small hit A, the state shifts to the limited frequency state A. When the symbol variation is executed 10 times in the limited frequency state A, the non-limited frequency state (the main game table 3 is Transition to the state of reference. When configured in this way, in the limited frequency state A, it may be configured to execute the variation mode (execution of pseudo variation every variation) and the limited frequency effect similar to the configuration of FIG. 26 of the present embodiment. .
(B) After execution of the big hit A and the small hit A, the state shifts to the limited frequency state A, and when the symbol variation is executed 10 times in the limited frequency state A, the state shifts to the limited frequency state B. When the symbol variation is executed 20 times in B, the state shifts to an unrestricted frequency state (a state in which the main game table 3 is referred to). When configured in this way, in the limited frequency state B, it may be configured to execute the variation mode (execution of pseudo variation every variation) and the limited frequent production similar to the configuration of FIG. 26 of this embodiment. .
(C) When the time reduction gaming state is the limited frequency state A, and the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c becomes 0, and the state shifts to the non-time reduction gaming state, the state shifts to the limited frequency state B. When the symbol variation is executed 20 times in the limited frequency state B, the state shifts to the non-limited frequency state (a state in which the main game table 3 is referred to). When configured in this way, in the limited frequency state B, it may be configured to execute the variation mode (execution of pseudo variation every variation) and the limited frequent production similar to the configuration of FIG. 26 of this embodiment. .
You may comprise as mentioned above.
