Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. The thing with the shape of etc. can be mentioned. In this specification, “identification information” may be called a main game symbol / special symbol (special symbol) or a decorative symbol (design), but the “special symbol (special symbol)” is the main control board. The “decorative pattern (design)” is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-control board side. “Displaying identification information” is not limited to a display method. For example, light emission of a light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) (including not only whether light is emitted but also a color difference), physical Display (for example, a symbol drawn on a reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position). “Direction” refers to display content that enhances the fun of the game. For example, identification information fluctuates / stops, notices, etc., moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photos, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. “Open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = non-winning state Easy state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following condition, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Game state” means, for example, a transition to a special game state rather than a non-stochastic game state in which a lottery probability for transition to a special game state or a special game state in which a special winning opening can be in an open state is a predetermined value. A probabilistic variable gaming state with a high lottery probability, an auxiliary gaming state with assistance for winning at the starting port that becomes a lottery opportunity for special games (so-called normal symbol short-time state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting port In such a case, the variable member may be one or a combination of a plurality of combinations such as a long opening period of the variable member, a high probability of winning the opening of the variable member, and a short notification time of the result of the variable member opening lottery. Further, the “main variation display mode” is a variation mode related to the main game symbol determined with reference to the main game table 3 or the like, and in this example, the variation mode determined by the processing of step 1412. Yes. In addition, the “variation addition display mode” may be referred to as a variation addition time, and in this example, is a variation addition time determined by the processing in step 1700. The “at the end of the main variation display mode” is a timing at which all the variation times determined with reference to the main game table 3 have elapsed. For example, the variation time determined with reference to the main game table 3 Is 60 seconds, it is the time when 60 seconds have passed since the start of symbol variation. In the case of adding the variation addition time to “at the end of the main variation display mode”, for example, when the variation time determined with reference to the main game table 3 is 60 seconds, the variation variation time is 60 from the beginning of the symbol variation start. The variable addition time is started from the time when seconds elapse. Further, “before the end of the main variation display mode” is a timing before all the variation times determined with reference to the main game table 3 have elapsed. For example, referring to the main game table 3 When the determined variation time is 60 seconds, it is a timing before 60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the symbol variation. In the case of adding the variation addition time to “before the end of the main variation display mode”, for example, when the variation time determined in the main game table 3 is 60 seconds, the variation occurs at the start of the symbol variation. The additional time may be started, or the variable additional time may be started 20 seconds after the start of symbol variation.

Means that. In addition, you may comprise so that another game peripheral device may be controlled via the main control board M and the other control board controlled by one-way communication (one-way communication).

  Next, FIG. 4 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after the game machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), 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, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. . Next, in step 1200, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1550, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game operating condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1600, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1997, the CPUMC of the main control board M 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 CPUMC of the main control board M executes output processing of external signals (information output to the external terminal board, the hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1999, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit side), and immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being executed.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the 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 gaming machine is powered off (NMI interrupt in this example), in step 1020, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets power-off information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. . Next, in step 1022, the CPU MC of the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a game ball has entered the auxiliary game start port H <b> 10 (inflow, in the case of a gate). In the case of Yes in Step 1102, in Step 1104, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the 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. 6 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the electric-powered object releasing flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 1202, in Step 1204, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the auxiliary game side gaming state (the flag state of the auxiliary gaming short time flag), and stores the auxiliary gaming 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, “D0, D1” exists as the stop symbols, and the stop symbol that is the winning symbol is “D1”, which is released due to the stop. In the non-time-reduced gaming state (auxiliary gaming time short flag off), the opening mode of the electric combination (second main game start opening electric combination B11d) is “open for 0.2 seconds → closed”. Further, in the time-saving game state (auxiliary game short flag ON), the release mode is “1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed”. When the game is in the non-time-saving game state (when the auxiliary game short time flag is off), the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol “D0”, and in the time reduction game state (when the auxiliary game short time flag is on). The stop symbol is configured so that the winning / losing lottery table related to the auxiliary game differs depending on the game state so that the winning symbol “D1” is likely to be obtained (the presence or absence of the auxiliary game probability changing function is activated).

  Next, in step 1218, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1222, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the holding information temporarily stored after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the auxiliary game symbol, and the CPUMC of the main control board M After the symbol variation management timer MP11t-H is started, the variation display of the auxiliary game symbols is started on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, in step 1224, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H to determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol and confirms and displays the acquired stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g. To do. In step 1228, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1230, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “winning” (D1 in this example). In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the CPUMC 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 0.2 seconds → closed). And a predetermined time related to the opening time (opening / closing time) of the second main game start port electric combination B11d is set in the second main game start port electric combination release timer MP22t-B. Next, in step 1234, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the electric agent releasing flag. Then, in step 1236, the CPUMC of the main control board M opens the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d, and proceeds to step 1238. In the case of No in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1238. In the present embodiment, when the main game short flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is the predetermined hit symbol (D1), the time for which the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is kept open is the longest. Has been.

  Next, in step 1238, the CPUMC 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 the predetermined time related to the electric accessory release time has been reached. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240 and step 1242, the CPUMC of the main control board M closes the second main game start port electric accessory B11d and turns off the electric accessory releasing flag, and performs the next processing. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

  In the case of No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1224, and in the case of No in Steps 1206, 1224, 1230, and 1238, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 1300).

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

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game start entrance entrance information is received from the first main game start entrance entrance detection device A11s. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the first main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, 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 CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1310, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game short time flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the CPUMC 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 / no lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1316, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores the command related to the new hold / failure result and the stop symbol information advance determination result in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM. Set (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1318.

  Next, in step 1318, the CPUMC 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 change mode groups (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 CPUMC of the main control board M sends a command related to a new on-hold occurrence (such as a first 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 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. Pre-fetch lottery 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 number 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 CPUMC 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 B11s. In the case of Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the first main game 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 first lottery random number for the first main game and the right lottery random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1328, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1330, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC 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 / fail lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1336, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores the command related to the new hold / failure result and the stop symbol information prior determination result in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM. Set (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1338.

  In the case of No in step 1330, in step 1332, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC 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 change mode groups (non-short-time variable mode group and short-time mode). 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 1340. Next, in step 1340, the CPUMC of the main control board M sends a command related to a new on-hold generation (a second main game content determination random number on-hold generation command, a command related to variation mode random number separator information, etc.) 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 regard to the winning lottery random number, a change in 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. 8 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the CPUMC of the main control board M confirms whether or not the second main game symbol is on hold. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and the next process {the process of steps 1400 (1) and (2). }. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the second main game symbol display process described later, and the next process {steps 1400 (1), (2). The process proceeds to.

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

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

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, in step 1405 and step 1406, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC 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. 10 (main game table 1) is an example of a 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 CPUMC 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. 10 (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 this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A, 9A” and “4B, 5B, 7B, 9B”). ), One main game symbol is determined as a jackpot symbol. The number of special game rounds determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, and 16R for 7A, 7B, 9A, and 9B. 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} Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, when 9A or 9B is determined as the jackpot symbol, the variation addition time (the symbol or symbol determined at the timing after the variation mode is determined) It is configured such that the addition time related to the variation time of the main game symbol determined whether or not to be added based on the variation mode is added to the final timing (timing when the variation time ends) in the variation time. .

  Next, in step 1412, the CPUMC of the main control board M obtains the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. Referring to 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), the main game symbol variation mode is determined, Temporarily stored in the RAM area of the control board M.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 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. 11 and 12, 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. Although details will be described later, in this embodiment, when AX or ax is determined as the variation mode on the first main game side, the variation addition time is a timing in the middle of the variation time in the variation time. It is configured to be added to (timing before the reach effect is executed).

  Next, in step 1700, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a variable addition time control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1414, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. Next, in step 1416, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g) In accordance with the temporarily stored variation mode, the variation display of the main game symbol is started. Next, in step 1417, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a command for transmitting information (symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit SM side to the effect that the symbol variation ends. It is set in the buffer MT10 (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1423, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). B21g) The main game symbol variation display on B21g) is stopped, and the temporarily stored stop symbol is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1424, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the changing flag.

  Next, in step 1430, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1440, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550). Even in the case of No in step 1420, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the variable addition time control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in step 1702, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the variation stop symbol is an additional jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol to which a variation addition time based on the symbol is added. In this example, 9A or 9B ). In the present embodiment, the variable addition time can be added based on the determined symbol, and can be added only when the determined symbol is a jackpot symbol. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured so that a variation addition time based on the symbol can be added even when a lost symbol is determined (it is preferable to determine the configuration according to the effect executed during the variation addition time) Is). In addition, in this example, the configuration is such that the variation addition time can be added only when the determined symbol is a probabilistic jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot ends). It is not limited to, and it is configured so that the variation addition time based on the symbol can be added even when the determined symbol is a non-probable variation jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to the non-stochastic variable gaming state after the jackpot ends) May be. When configured in this way, the promotion failure effect at the variation addition time related to the non-probable change jackpot symbol (in the effect mode similar to the promotion effect described later, in the stop display mode in which the decorative symbol suggests the non-probability big hit symbol This is an effect of confirming and stopping. As a specific example, the decorative design temporarily stopped at “666” may explode and then stop at “666”).

  In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds a variation addition time (10 seconds in this example) based on the symbol to the determined variation time of the symbol variation, Control goes to step 1706. As an example, when the determined variation time is 60 seconds, a variation addition time of 10 seconds is added from the timing when 60 seconds have passed (the total variation time is 70 seconds). Also in the case of No in step 1702, the process proceeds to step 1706.

  Next, in step 1706, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game short time flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1706, in step 1708, the CPUMC of the main control board M is a variation mode in which the variation mode of the symbol variation is an additional variation mode (a variation addition time based on the variation mode is added, In this example, it is determined whether or not AX or ax). Here, “AX” or “ax”, which is an additional variation mode, is a variation mode having a relatively long variation time in which the variation mode group is group 3. In addition, “AX” and “ax” do not mean one variation mode, but are configured such that a plurality of variation modes corresponding to “AX” are provided and a plurality of variation modes corresponding to “ax” are provided. Yes. Note that only one type of variation mode corresponding to “AX” or “ax” may be provided. In the case of Yes in step 1708, in step 1710, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the variation mode dependent variation addition time determination table (in the variation addition time to be added when the variation mode related to the symbol variation is the additional variation mode. Referring to the table for determining the time value to be added), the time value of the variation addition time is determined, the variation addition time based on the determined variation mode is added, and the process proceeds to step 1712. Note that if the answer is No in step 1706 or 1708, the process proceeds to step 1712. Next, in step 1712, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub control board S side) related to the determined variation addition time, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1414). If the variation addition time based on the symbol and / or the variation addition time based on the variation mode has not been determined, the sub-control that the variation addition time is not added (that the variation addition time is 0 second). Transmit to the substrate S side.

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the CPUMC 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. If Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the probability variation counter MP51c and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1506, in step 1508, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1514, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1518, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game short time flag, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in 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). 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. 15 is an example of a variation mode-dependent variation addition time determination table according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, when a variation addition time based on the variation mode is added, three types of time values of the variation addition time to be added are “10 seconds”, “20 seconds”, and “30 seconds”. Is provided, and the time value to be added as the variable addition time is determined from the three types of selection candidates according to the distribution described in the item “Numeric”. The item “effect content” in the figure is the effect content executed during symbol variation on the sub-control board S side when the selection candidate of the variation addition time is selected (determined). "Continuous effect (once)" executes a pseudo variation once as a pseudo continuous variation in the variation time (performs a temporary stop of the decorative symbol related to the pseudo variation once), and the reach effect is executed after the pseudo variation is completed. As a result, the “pseudo-continuous production (twice)” executes the pseudo-variation twice as the pseudo-continuous variation at the variation time (the temporary stop of the decorative symbol related to the pseudo-variation is executed twice), and the pseudo-variation ends. The reach effect will be executed later, and the “countdown effect” is a countdown effect (details will be described later) as a notice effect at the variable time. In addition, “countdown effect → pseudo continuous effect (once)” executes a countdown effect at a variable time and then executes a pseudo-variation once as a pseudo-continuous change (once a temporary stop of a decorative symbol related to the pseudo-variation) The reach effect is executed after the end of the pseudo variation, and the “countdown effect → pseudo continuous effect (twice)” is executed as a pseudo continuous variation after executing the countdown effect at the variable time. Fluctuation is executed twice (temporary stop of the decorative symbol related to the pseudo fluctuation is executed twice), and reach effect is executed after the end of the pseudo fluctuation. It should be noted that what is shown is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of the time value of the variation addition time to be added is appropriately changed. Here, the fact that the pseudo variation is executed one or more times as the variation pattern of the decorative symbol is referred to as a pseudo continuous variation, and the pseudo continuous variation refers to the “decorative symbol of the main game symbol during one variation. Main display after repeating “temporary stop display of left / middle / right symbol → re-change of decorative design (1 unit from the start of change of decorative design to re-change as temporary stop display”) This is an effect technique in which the game symbol is stopped (decoration of the decorative symbol is stopped) so that the player can see the main game symbol fluctuate a plurality of times during one change of the main game symbol. Here, as a temporary stop mode of the decorative symbol at the time of executing the pseudo-variation, a mode in which a temporary stop symbol that suggests that it is re-changed as a pseudo-change in the middle row, such as “7. Alternatively, it is possible to adopt a mode in which the re-variation is executed by temporarily stopping the pseudo-continuous symbol in the middle row, pretending that the reach is reached, such as “7 · Pseudo-continuous symbol · 7”. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which re-variation is executed by temporarily stopping the outcome having regularity such as “5” (permutation). Here, in the present embodiment, the content of the effect relating to the variation addition time based on the variation mode, that is, the timing at which the variation addition effect is executed (the timing at which the variation addition effect starts to be executed) is the start timing of the reach effect. It is the timing before. Here, the reach effect is an effect that is executed when the left column and the right column are temporarily stopped (tempered) with the same symbol and the final symbol is stopped after the middle symbol is stopped. In the case of re-changing after a temporary stop, such as “symbol 7”, it is not referred to as reach production. That is, in the present embodiment, the reach effect is configured to be executed after the execution of the pseudo variation, and as an example of the case where the pseudo variation is performed as the variation addition effect,
(1) Decoration pattern changes will start (“↓ ・ ↓ ・ ↓”)
(2) Fluctuation addition effect starts after 10 seconds (“↓ ・ ↓ ・ ↓”)
(3) As a variation addition effect, the left column and the right column temporarily stop at the same symbol (“7 ・ ↓ ・ 7”)
(4) The pseudo-continuous symbol temporarily stops as the temporary stop symbol in the middle row related to the variable addition effect (“7, pseudo-continuous symbol, 7”).
(5) The decorative pattern starts to change again as a pseudo-continuous effect during the change-added effect ("↓ ・ ↓ ・ ↓")
(6) Fluctuation addition effect ends, the left and right columns temporarily stop at the same symbol, and the reach effect begins (“7 ・ ↓ ・ 7”)
(7) As a final result of reach production, the jackpot symbol is stopped (determined stop display) (“7 ・ 7 ・ 7”)
You may comprise as follows.

In this embodiment, when the variation mode is “AX” or “ax” which is the additional variation mode, it is determined to add the variation addition time based on the variation mode. The mode of determining the presence or absence of addition is not limited to this. For example, as a variation mode that can be determined, “variation mode A1, variation mode A2, variation mode A3, variation mode B1, variation mode B2, variation mode B3, variation In the case of being configured to have mode C1, variation mode C2, and variation mode C3, each variation mode is configured to have a variation addition type that is information regarding whether or not a variation addition time is added. In the case of providing “type 1, variation addition type 2, variation addition type 3”, “variation mode A1: variation addition type 1”, “variation mode A2: variation addition type 1”, “variation mode A3: Dynamic variation type 1 ”,“ variation mode B1: variation addition type 2 ”,“ variation mode B2: variation addition type 2 ”,“ variation mode B3: variation addition type 2 ”,“ variation mode C1: variation addition type 3 ”, It is configured to be “variation mode C2: variation addition type 3” and “variation mode C3: variation addition type 3”. When configured in this way,
(1) When the variation mode (variation modes A1 to A3) corresponding to the variation addition type 1 is determined → “no variation addition time added: variation addition time related to the countdown effect added: variation addition time related to the pseudo-continuous effect Addition = 10: 0: 0 "
(2) When the variation mode (variation modes B1 to B3) corresponding to the variation addition type 2 is determined → “no variation addition time added: variation addition time related to countdown effect added: variation addition time related to pseudo-continuous effect Addition = 5: 4: 1 "
(3) When the variation mode (variation modes C1 to C3) corresponding to the variation addition type 3 is determined → “no variation addition time added: variation addition time related to the countdown effect added: variation addition time related to the pseudo-continuous effect Append = 2: 3: 5 "
The presence / absence of addition of the variation addition time and the type of the variation addition time to be added (the time value of the variation addition time, the effect executed as the variation addition effect, etc.) are determined by lottery based on the distribution as described above. The lottery aspect regarding the presence / absence of addition of the variation addition time and the type of variation addition time to be added (the time value of the variation addition time, the effect executed as the variation addition effect, etc.) may differ depending on the variation addition type of the variation mode May be. It should be noted that the numerical values relating to the lottery, the type of variation mode, the type of variation addition type, and the like are merely examples, and there is no problem even if they are changed.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / main game short flag / auxiliary game short flag). Next, in step 1556, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the value of the probability variation counter MP51c. Next, in step 1558, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1564, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the special game transition permission flag. Next, in step 1566, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the condition device operation flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600). In the case of No in step 1552, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in steps 1604 and 1606, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game transition permission flag and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1607, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1608, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information to start a special game (special game start display instruction command) 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 CPUMC 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. In the case of No in step 1610, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1612, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, whether or not it is immediately before the start of each round. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, when it is just before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the open pattern (for example, the open pattern that keeps open, the pattern that opens and closes). Set. Next, in step 1616, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1620, the CPUMC of the main control board M drives the first big prize opening electric accessory C11d (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d) to thereby produce 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 CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1624, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process proceeds to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the CPUMC 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. If the answer is No in step 1626, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1628, the CPUMC of the main control board M stops driving the first big prize opening electric accessory 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 CPUMC of the main control board M resets the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1633, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1634, the CPUMC 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. If Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1634, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the CPUMC 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 CPUMC 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 CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1660, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game short time flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in 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. 19 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 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). Next, in step 2003, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S deletes the information indicating that the trigger is on hold (the hold on which the pre-read lottery is won) from the information on the temporarily stored hold (that the trigger is on hold). If there is no hold having the above information in the hold, this process is not executed and the process proceeds to the next process), and the hold display mode and the change suggestion display are all displayed in “white” (pre-reading effect) Reset the process related to Note that the process at the time of power interruption is not limited to this, and after the power interruption is restored, information indicating that the trigger is on hold, information on the hold display mode, and the state related to the display mode of the change suggestion display are deleted. Instead, various effects such as prefetch effects may be continued. In such a configuration, for example, a subsidence area is provided on the sub side where information can be maintained even during power interruption, and information related to performance is backed up in the retreat area when a power interruption occurs, and power interruption recovery is performed. It may be configured to restore backed up information from time to time. In addition, information related to the contents of the hold and the change suggestion display from the main control board M side at the time of power failure recovery, at the start of change, at the time of change stop, at the time of hold occurrence (with respect to hold other than the newly generated hold) It may be configured to receive it again (note that although not specifically shown in this example, at the time of power failure recovery, only the information related to the number of holds is transmitted from the main control board M side (the contents of the hold) Such information is not transmitted). For this reason, since the information related to the hold that existed at the time of power interruption does not exist after the return from power interruption, the pre-reading effect cannot be executed for the hold (the hold from the main side at the time of power interruption return) It may be configured so as to receive information related to the above, and may be configured so that a pre-reading effect can be executed for the suspension. In the case where a power interruption occurs during the variation of the decorative symbol, if there is no function to maintain the information at the time of the power interruption, there is a time until the end command of the fluctuation is received from the main control board M side. In the meantime, a dark screen (for example, a screen displaying “in preparation” or the like) will be displayed}. 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 (in this example) of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM. , 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. 20 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 CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2509, in step 2150, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a first main game prefetch determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2510. Next, in step 2510, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not information indicating that the trigger is suspended is added to the new suspension (added in the process of step 2170). It is determined whether the new hold is a trigger hold. In the present embodiment, information indicating that the trigger is on hold is added to the hold on winning the pre-read lottery. 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 2515, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the change suggestion display in a display mode similar to the display mode immediately before digestion of the digested hold (the display mode of the digested hold is It will be displayed as an indication of the change). The change suggestion display may be referred to as the change suggestion image. In addition, when the display mode immediately before digestion of the digested hold is blue, and then the hold is digested, and the change suggestion display regarding the digested hold is displayed, the display mode of the change suggestion display is red For example, the display mode of the hold immediately before digestion may be different from the display mode of the change suggestion display after the stop digestion. In such a configuration, it is preferable that the display mode of the change suggestion display after the hold digest is a display mode with a higher expectation degree of jackpot than the display mode of the hold immediately before digestion. . It should be noted that the display mode of the hold and the change suggestion display is “white → blue → red → rainbow” from the one with the low expectation degree of jackpot. 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 images as the drawing hold counter value on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). Is displayed 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. 21 is a flowchart of the first main game prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. As will be described later, the processing from step 2152 to step 2158 is processing related to the prefetch lottery prohibition condition, and the processing from step 2160 to step 2170 is processing related to the prefetching lottery.

  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 the case of Yes in step 2152, in step 2154, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is not a 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 there is no trigger hold in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2156, in step 2158, 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 2158, in step 2160, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2160, in step 2162, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/3), and proceeds to the processing of step 2168. If the result of step 2160 is No (that is, the hold that is lost), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the new hold variation mode group is group 3 in step 2164. In the case of Yes in step 2164, in step 2166, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/10), and proceeds to the processing of step 2168. Note that the process proceeds to step 2168 also in the case of No in step 2164. Next, in step 2168, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the prefetch lottery executed in step 2162 or 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” to the new hold selected in the prefetch lottery, and performs the next process (in step 2510). Process). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2152, in step 2172, the CPUSC of the sub control board S deletes the information indicating “trigger hold” in the hold (because there is a hold on the second main game side) The information relating to prefetching is deleted), 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, or Step 2168 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 2510).

  Next, FIG. 22 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 executes a change-ahead pre-reading effect execution lottery (a winning change-ahead effect as a pre-reading effect is performed by winning) at a predetermined probability (1/2 in this example). , A lottery in which a pending change success effect is executed as a pre-reading effect due to non-winning. Next, in step 2254, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the change prefetch effect execution lottery executed in the process of step 2252 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2254, in step 2256, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2256, in step 2258, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the hold change scenario determination table for jackpot time, and changes the hold based on the number of holds (including the trigger hold) when the trigger hold occurs. The scenario (the suspension until the symbol change related to the trigger hold and the transition scenario of the display mode of the change suggestion display) is determined, and the process proceeds to Step 2262. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2256, in step 2260, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the hold change scenario determination table for lost time, and based on the number of holds at the time of trigger hold occurrence (including trigger hold), A pending change scenario is determined, and the process proceeds to step 2262. Next, in step 2262, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs the hold change change scenario based on the hold change scenario determined in step 2258 or step 2260 (the hold change until the symbol change before the symbol change related to the trigger hold). Determine the scenario related to the execution of the roaring effect). Here, the hold change turning effect is an effect that indicates whether or not the hold display mode executed every change from the next change in which the trigger hold occurs to the previous change of the symbol change related to the trigger hold changes (details are given) Will be described later). Next, in step 2263, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns on a turn effect execution flag (a flag that is turned on when execution of the hold change turn effect is determined), and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2520). Transition.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2254, in step 2264, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2264, in step 2266, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the hold change effect determination table for the big hit time, determines the execution timing of the hold change success effect and the hold display mode after the change, The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2520). Further, in the case of No in step 2264, in step 2268, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the hold change effect determination table for lost time, and determines the execution timing of the hold change success effect and the hold display mode after the change. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2520). Here, the hold change effect means that the display mode of the hold changes by operating the sub input button SB at some timing from the timing when the trigger hold occurs until the symbol fluctuation related to the trigger hold starts. It is a production to get. The hold change effect includes a hold change success effect and a hold change failure effect. When the hold change success effect is executed, the display mode of the hold changes by operating the sub input button SB in the button valid period, and the hold change failure occurs. When the production is performed, the display mode of the hold does not change by operating the sub input button SB during the button valid period.

  Next, FIG. 23 is an example of a pending change scenario determination table. In the figure, a hold change scenario determination table (when the big hit is a big hit) that is referenced when the trigger hold is a big hit hold, and a hold change scenario determination table (when the trigger hold is a hold that is lost) (When lost). The item “at the time of occurrence” is a hold display mode at the time of trigger hold occurrence, the item “before 3 changes” is a hold display mode at the end of the symbol change before the 3 changes of the symbol change related to the trigger hold, The item “before 2 changes” is a hold display mode at the end of the symbol change before 2 changes of the symbol change related to the trigger hold, and the item “1 change before” is a design before 1 change of the design change related to the trigger hold. This is a hold display mode at the end of the change. For example, when “before 3 change” is “blue” and “before 2 change” is “blue”, the change in hold is changed as a hold change change effect during the change before 2 changes of the pattern change related to the trigger hold. When an effect that fails (change in display mode of hold) is executed and “before 3 change” is “blue” and “before 2 change” is “red”, 2 of the pattern change related to the trigger hold is 2 It is configured such that an effect that succeeds in the on-hold change (change of the display mode of the on-hold) during the symbol change before the change is executed. Note that the change-on-hold scenario is drawn by random numbers, and the change-on-hold is executed in the middle of the symbol change (the change may be held at the start of the symbol change). In addition, the display mode of the trigger hold is “blue → red → rainbow color” from the low expectation level of the big hit. When the display mode of the trigger hold changes (the exchange is executed as the hold change turning effect). If so, the display mode of the trigger hold is configured to change to a display mode with a high expectation degree of jackpot. In addition, since “rainbow color” is not selected as the display mode when the trigger hold is lost, it is almost determined that the trigger hold is a big hit when the trigger hold display mode is “rainbow”. It becomes the target. Here, when the hold change is executed when the trigger hold display mode is “red”, the trigger hold display mode is rainbow, so the trigger hold display mode is “red”. When the on-hold change effect is executed, the player has a sense of expectation that the on-hold change effect will be successful. In this example, there are four types of hold display modes of “white”, “blue”, “red”, and “rainbow”, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of types may be increased. However, the changing element may suggest that the hold has changed not by color but by shape or lighting / flashing. Further, as a display mode that suggests a future hold change, for example, a hold in the shape of a treasure box may be displayed, and then the treasure box may be opened to change the hold display mode after the change.

  FIG. 24 is an example of a hold change effect determination table. In the figure, a hold change effect determination table (when the big hit is a big hit) that is referenced when the trigger hold is a big hit hold, and a hold change effect determination table that is referenced when the trigger hold is a lost hold ( (When lost). As described above, the pending change production effects include the pending change success production and the pending change failure production. The pending change production described in detail in FIG. If there is a hold change success effect is executed, the hold change failure effect is executed when the trigger hold has not occurred). The item “execution timing” is an item relating to which symbol variation is the symbol variation for executing the hold change effect, and “before 3 variation” is the symbol variation being executed before the third variation of the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension. “Before 2 changes” is in the process of executing the symbol changes before the 2 changes of the symbol change related to the trigger suspension, and “Before 1 change” is executing the symbol changes of the 1 time before the change of the symbol change related to the hold of the trigger. As described above, the hold change effect is configured to be executed in a period from the next change in which the trigger hold occurs to the start of the symbol change related to the trigger hold. The display mode of the trigger hold is “white → blue → red → rainbow color” from the low expectation level of the big hit, and when the display mode of the trigger hold changes (the hold change effect successful effect is When executed, the trigger hold display mode is configured to change to a display mode with a high expectation of jackpot. In addition, when the hold change success effect is executed as the prefetch effect, the display mode of the trigger hold when the trigger hold occurs is “white”. In addition, since “rainbow color” is not selected as the display mode when the trigger hold is lost, it is almost determined that the trigger hold is a big hit when the trigger hold display mode is “rainbow”. It becomes the target.

  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, based on the temporarily stored symbol information (stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol), stops the decorative symbol {eg, stop related to the main game symbol) If the symbol is a jackpot symbol, determine the size of “7, 7, 7”, etc., if it is a lost symbol, determine the “1, 3, 5”, etc. Temporarily stored in the RAM area of the substrate S.

  Next, in step 3100, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a variable added effect content determination process to be described later. Next, in step 2300, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect content determination process to be described later. 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).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the variation added effect content determination process according to the subroutine of step 3100 in FIG. First, in step 3102, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a command related to the variation addition time related to the symbol variation has been received. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the time value of the determined variation addition time and the type of variation addition time to be added (the variation addition time based on the symbol or the variation mode) Based on the variation addition time), the content of the effect of the variation addition effect to be executed in the symbol variation is determined (see FIG. 15 for an example of the effect content of the variation addition effect), and the next process (step 2300 process) ). On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 3102, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300). Note that if the variable addition time is not added even in the case of Yes in step 3102 (when a command indicating that the change is not added is received), the process of determining the effect may not be executed in the process of step 3104. Then, it may be configured to determine not to execute the variation addition effect.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2300 of FIG. First, in step 2302, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation to which a variation addition time is added. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in step 2304, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect content executed in the variation addition time is a countdown effect. In the case of Yes in step 2304, in step 2306, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the production contents other than the production related to the fluctuation addition time in the symbol fluctuation (the production contents other than the fluctuation addition production). It moves to step 2308. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2302 or Step 2304, the process proceeds to Step 2308. Thus, when the process of step 2306 is executed, the countdown effect is not executed as the effect contents related to the symbol variation determined in step 2310, step 2314, or step 2316. In other words, in the present embodiment, the countdown effect is configured to be executed only once in one symbol variation. When the countdown effect is executed as the effect in the variation addition time, the countdown effect is related to the variation addition time. By configuring so that the countdown effect is not executed as effect contents other than the effect, it is ensured that the countdown effect is not executed twice or more in one symbol variation.

In this example, both the countdown effect and the pseudo-continuous effect can be executed as the variable addition effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that a countdown effect can be performed as an effect which suggests that a pseudo | simulation continuous effect is performed as a change addition effect at the timing (period which is not a change addition effect) before an additional effect. When configured in this way, an effect that suggests a variation-added effect such as the countdown effect described above, in other words, an effect aspect related to the variation-added time, and other effects during symbol variation (in the variable-added time) It may be configured such that the production mode is an irrelevant production, such as a dialogue production, etc.) by another lottery. Even in such a configuration, the countdown effect may be configured not to be executed more than once per symbol variation. As an example of such a configuration, the timing (variation that can be performed) (Timing from the start) provided multiple types, priorities were set for the multiple types of timings, the lottery related to the execution of the countdown effect was executed in descending order of priority, and the execution of the countdown effect was decided ( Do not execute the lottery related to whether or not the countdown effect is executed at the subsequent priority level (priority lower than the determined time) when the lottery related to whether or not the countdown effect is executed) Thus, the countdown effect may be configured not to be executed twice or more per symbol variation. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, as a lottery aspect of the effect to be executed during the variation between the symbol variation to which variation addition time is added and the symbol variation to which variation addition time is not added,
(1) When no variation addition time is added: A lottery of effects executed during symbol variation is executed based on the variation mode determined with reference to the main game table 3. (2) When variation addition time is added: main Based on the variation mode determined with reference to the game table 3, the lottery of effects not related to the variation addition time among the effects executed during the symbol variation is executed + related to the variation addition time among the effects executed during the symbol variation. A lottery of effects to be performed may be executed.

  Further, in this example, it is determined whether or not to add a variation addition time on the main control board M side, that is, whether or not the variation addition effect can be executed, and the effect contents of the variation addition effect on the sub control board S side. May be determined. The execution timing of the variation addition effect may be determined by lottery on the sub-control board S side, or when the variation addition time based on the symbol is added, it is the last of the variation time. When the variation addition time based on the aspect is added, it may be uniquely determined to be the variation start time. In addition, the dialogue advance notice effect and the step-up notice effect, which are effects other than the variation addition effect, are executed by first performing a parent lottery (sometimes referred to as a route lottery) as a lottery separate from the variation addition effect lottery. Based on the lottery result of the lottery, the other notice lotteries (the lottery related to the notice effect other than the variable addition effect and may be referred to as a child lottery) may be executed.

  Next, in step 2308, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether there is no trigger hold in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2308, in step 2310, 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 performs the next processing (processing in step 2714). Migrate to Here, the effect content related to the symbol variation determined in the process of step 2310 is that the character takes action on the variation suggestion display during the symbol variation, and the variation suggestion is performed without operating the sub input button SB. During the change suggestion display change success effect, which is an effect in which the display mode of the display changes, and during the pattern change, the character takes action on the change suggestion display, and the display mode of the change suggestion display does not change (fails). An image prompting the operation of the sub input button SB during the symbol variation is displayed as the change suggestion display change failure effect, which is an effect, and a pre-reading effect, and even if the sub input button SB is operated, the display mode of the hold does not change (fails). ) A pending change failure effect, which is an effect, may be selected.

  In the case of No in step 2308, in step 2312, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the turn effect execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2312, in step 2314, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the content of the effect related to the symbol variation as a hold change change effect and refers to the hold change change effect determination table. Based on the reserved change change scenario, the effect mode of the change change effect related to the change is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2714). In the case of No in step 2312, in step 2316, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs an effect related to the symbol variation based on the execution timing of the pending change success effect, the decorative symbol stop symbol, and the variation pattern determined in step 2316. The content is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714). In addition, in this embodiment, after performing the determination process whether the countdown effect is due to be performed as a variation addition effect, it is configured to determine the effect mode of the symbol variation, The mode is not limited to this, and in each of the processes in step 2310, step 2314, and step 2316, a table in the case where a variation addition time related to the execution of the countdown effect is added and a variation addition related to the execution of the countdown effect By referring to any of the tables when time is not added, the countdown effect may not be generated twice or more in one symbol variation.

  Next, FIG. 28 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 2823. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2820, the process proceeds to Step 2823. Next, in step 2823, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the start timing of the variation addition effect has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2823, in step 2824, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the execution command of the variation addition effect determined in the process of step 3104, and proceeds to step 2830.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2823, in step 2825, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the execution start timing of the hold change effect has been reached. Here, in this process, it is determined whether or not it is a predetermined timing in the symbol variation in which one of the hold change success effect and the hold change failure effect is executed. In the case of Yes in step 2825, in step 2826, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the hold change effect execution start flag (the flag that is turned on when the hold change success effect or hold change failure effect execution timing is reached). To. Next, in step 2827, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the hold change effect execution start flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2827, in step 3050, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a hold change effect execution process described later, and proceeds to the process of step 2830. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2827, the process proceeds to Step 2830. In the case of No in step 2825, in step 2828, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the execution timing of the change suggestion display change effect has been reached. Here, in this process, it is determined whether or not any one of the change suggestion display change success effect and the change suggestion display change failure effect is a predetermined timing in the symbol change to be executed. In the case of Yes in step 2828, in step 2829, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes the change suggestion display change effect, and proceeds to the processing of step 2830. Here, when the change suggestion display change effect to be executed is the change suggestion display change success effect, a character appears, the display mode of the change suggestion display changes, and the change suggestion display change effect to be executed is In the case of the change suggestion display change failure effect, a character appears and the display mode of the change suggestion display does not change. In addition, as an effect mode of the change suggestion display change success effect, it is an effect mode in which the display mode of the change suggestion display changes at a predetermined timing during the execution of the symbol change, such as the sub input button SB. The display mode of the variation suggestion display is changed without the operation of the operation member.

  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. 29 is a variation addition effect execution image diagram 1 according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the case where the variation addition time based on the variation mode is added and the pseudo continuous effect is executed as the variation addition effect is illustrated.

<When the variation addition time is 10 seconds, the variation addition production start timing is 20 seconds after the start of variation, and the production content is a pseudo-continuous production (once)>
First, in the first row of the figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed, and after that, after 20 seconds have elapsed from the start of the variation, the variation addition effect related to the symbol variation is started. Thereafter, the pseudo-continuous symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the middle row at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 7 seconds after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, the decorative symbol is changed again at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 9 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). Thereafter, the variation adding effect for 10 seconds is finished, the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3 + variation additional time 10 seconds = 70 seconds”. As described above, in the first row of FIG. 1, the reach effect is executed after the pseudo variation is executed once. In addition, in the symbol variation to which the variation addition time based on the symbol variation and the variation mode in which the reach effect is executed is added, the reach effect is started to be executed after the variation addition effect is completed. In the case of a pseudo-variation in which the left and right columns of the decorative symbol temporarily stop at the same stop symbol and then the pseudo-continuous symbol temporarily stops at the middle row, the same stop symbol at the left and right columns temporarily stops. Is not called reach production, reach, etc., and the left column and the right column of the decorative design are temporarily stopped with the same stop symbol, then the middle row temporarily stops and then the left column A state where the same stop symbol in the right column is temporarily stopped is referred to as reach production, reach, or the like.

<When the variation addition time is 20 seconds and the variation addition effect start timing is 10 seconds after the change starts, and the effect content is a pseudo-continuous effect (twice)>
Next, in the second stage of the same figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed, and after that, after 10 seconds have elapsed from the start of the variation, the variation addition effect related to the symbol variation is started. Thereafter, the pseudo-continuous symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the middle row at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 7 seconds after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, the decorative symbol is changed again at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 9 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). Thereafter, the pseudo continuous symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) again as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the middle row at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 17 seconds after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, the decorative symbol is changed again at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 19 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). Thereafter, the variation addition effect for 20 seconds is finished, and the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3 + variation additional time 20 seconds = 80 seconds”. As described above, in the second stage of the figure, the reach effect is executed after the pseudo variation is executed twice.

<When variable addition time is not added>
Next, in the third row of the same figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed, and thereafter, the left and right columns of the decorative symbol are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3”. As described above, in the third stage of FIG. 3, since the variation addition time is not added, the pseudo variation is not executed.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a variation addition effect execution image diagram 2 according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the case where the variation addition time based on the variation mode is added and the countdown effect is executed as the variation addition effect is illustrated.

<When the variation addition time is 10 seconds and the variation addition production start timing is the fluctuation start time, and the production content is a countdown production>
First, in the first row of the same figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed and the image “2” is displayed as the countdown effect. Note that, in the first row of FIG. 1, the variation-added effect is started when the symbol variation starts. Thereafter, an image “1” is displayed as the countdown effect at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 4 seconds after the variation addition effect starts). Thereafter, an image of “0” is displayed as a countdown effect at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 8 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). In this way, the countdown effect, which is an effect that can be executed as a variation-added effect, displays the number image and subtracts the number, thereby allowing the player to respond to the subsequent effect and the success / failure result in the symbol variation. It is a production that enlivens expectations. In addition, in the same figure, as the countdown effect, only the case where the image “0” is displayed after the image “2” is displayed is illustrated, but there are various types of numbers at the start. You may comprise, and you may have the production pattern which does not become "0" finally. In such a configuration, the smaller the number at the start of the countdown effect, the higher the jackpot expectation degree of the symbol variation may be configured to be relatively high (in a configuration configured to increase, up to 0) It is preferable to adjust the production frequency so that the number closer to is easier to reach 0 as a result of the countdown production), or it may be configured to be lower (if configured to be lower, the countdown It is preferable to adjust the production frequency so that the expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit is higher when the production execution time is longer. In addition, when configured to have a case where “0” is not reached, the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit is higher when “0” is reached than when “0” is not reached. It is preferable to configure. Further, when the countdown effect reaches “0”, the pseudo-continuous effect can be executed after that, but when it does not reach “0”, the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed after that. Thereafter, the variation addition effect is ended, and the aura effect is executed as the notice effect related to the symbol variation. Thereafter, the left and right rows of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3 + variation additional time 10 seconds = 70 seconds”. As described above, even when the countdown effect is executed as the change effect, when the change addition time based on the change mode is added, the change effect will be the timing before the start of the reach effect. It is configured. In addition, the countdown effect is an effect that can be executed even in the case of symbol variation to which no additional time is added, but the countdown effect is an effect that can be executed only once in one symbol variation and is configured not to be executed more than once. Therefore, when the variation addition time is added and the countdown effect is executed as the variation addition effect, the countdown effect is not executed as the effect in the symbol variation other than the change addition effect.

<When variable addition time is not added>
Next, in the second row of the same figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed, and then the aura effect is executed as the notice effect related to the symbol variation. Thereafter, the left and right rows of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3”. In this example, the countdown effect may be executed even when the variation addition time is not added, or the countdown effect can be executed only when the variation addition time is added. You may comprise.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a variation addition effect execution image diagram 3 according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the case where the variation addition time based on the variation mode is added and the pseudo continuous effect is executed after the countdown effect is executed as the change addition effect is illustrated.

<When the variation addition time is 20 seconds and the variation addition production start timing is 10 seconds after the fluctuation starts, and the production content is a countdown production → pseudo-continuous production (once)>
First, in the first row of the figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed, and then, after 10 seconds have elapsed from the start of the variation, the variation addition effect related to the symbol variation is started. Thereafter, an image “2” is displayed as a countdown effect at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, one second after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, “2” → “1” is displayed as the countdown effect, and “0” is displayed as the countdown effect at any timing of the variable addition effect (for example, 8 seconds after the start of the variable addition effect). Is displayed. Thereafter, the pseudo continuous symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the middle row at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 17 seconds after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, the decorative symbol is changed again at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 19 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). Thereafter, the variation addition effect for 20 seconds is finished, and the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3 + variation additional time 20 seconds = 80 seconds”.

<When the variation addition time is 30 seconds and the variation addition production start timing is the fluctuation start time, and the production content is a countdown production → pseudo continuous production (twice)>
First, in the first row of the same figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed and the image “2” is displayed as the countdown effect. Note that, in the first row of FIG. 1, the variation-added effect is started when the symbol variation starts. Thereafter, an image “2” is displayed as a countdown effect at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, one second after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, “2” → “1” is displayed as the countdown effect, and “0” is displayed as the countdown effect at any timing of the variable addition effect (for example, 8 seconds after the start of the variable addition effect). Is displayed. Thereafter, the pseudo continuous symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the middle row at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 17 seconds after the change addition effect starts). Thereafter, the decorative symbol is changed again at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 19 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). Thereafter, the pseudo continuous symbol is stopped (temporarily stopped) as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the middle row at any timing of the variation addition effect (for example, 27 seconds after the change addition effect is started). Thereafter, the decorative symbol is changed again at any timing of the change addition effect (for example, 29 seconds after the start of the change addition effect). Thereafter, the variation adding effect for 30 seconds is finished, the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the reach effect is executed. Thereafter, the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped at the loss symbol “7, 6, 7”. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3 + variation additional time 30 seconds = 90 seconds”. Thus, you may comprise so that both a countdown effect and a pseudo | simulation continuous effect may be performed as a fluctuation addition effect. In addition, as an effect mode of the countdown effect, “0” is displayed (the countdown progresses and the number is subtracted and displayed until “0”), and as an effect mode of the countdown effect, “0” is not displayed (the countdown is progressing and the number is subtracted, and the effect ends before “0” is displayed). In such a case, the content of the effect suggested by the countdown effect is set as the reach effect (if the countdown success effect is executed, the reach effect is almost deterministic). The production content suggested by the countdown production is assumed to be a pseudo-continuous production (if the successful countdown production is executed, the pseudo-continuous production is executed. Rukoto become substantially deterministic) as may be configured. In addition, the countdown effect may be configured to be executed in the variation time of the main game symbol other than the variation addition effect, and in such a case, the pseudo continuous effect is configured to be executed as the variation addition effect. In addition, it is preferable that the timing for executing the countdown effect be set to a timing before the execution period of the variation-added effect. Further, the countdown effect may be configured to be executed even when the variation addition time is not added, or may be configured to be executed only when the variation addition time is added.

  In addition, as described above, the countdown effect may be executed in a period during which the symbol change other than the execution period of the change addition effect is performed. For example, the countdown effect is related to the change addition time in the period before the change addition effect. A countdown effect may be executed as an effect to be performed. In other words, the countdown effect may be executed in a period before the change addition effect as an effect suggesting a pseudo-continuous effect executed by the change addition effect. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, the lottery for determining whether or not the countdown effect related to the variation addition time is executed and the effect mode are determined as to whether or not the effect related to the change addition time during the symbol change is performed and the effect mode. You may comprise so that it may perform as a lottery different from the lottery to perform.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a variation addition effect execution image diagram 4 according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the case where the variation addition time based on the symbol is added and the promotion effect is executed as the variation addition effect is illustrated.

<When adding variable addition time>
First, in the first row of the figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is executed, and thereafter, the left and right columns of the decorative symbol are temporarily stopped at “6”, and the reach effect is executed. After that, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped at “6, 6. 6”, which is a non-probability variation jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that becomes a non-stochastic game state after the jackpot is over). Thereafter, a variation adding effect is started 60 seconds after the variation starts. After that, at any timing of the variable addition effect (for example, one second after the start of the variable addition effect), the promotion effect (decoration that suggests the probable big hit symbol from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol that suggests the non-probable big hit symbol) As an effect that can be changed to a symbol stop symbol), the display of “6, 6, 6” indicating a non-probable big hit symbol that has been temporarily stopped explodes. After that, at any timing of the variable addition effect (for example, 9 seconds after the start of the variable addition effect), the decoration symbol is temporarily changed to a probable big hit symbol (a big hit symbol that becomes a probability variable game state after the big hit ends). After stopping, the stop is confirmed and the variation adding effect is ended. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3 + variation additional time 10 seconds = 70 seconds”.

<When variable addition time is not added>
Next, in the second row of the same figure, the symbol variation of the decorative symbols is executed, and then the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped at “6” and the reach effect is executed. After that, the decoration symbol temporarily stops at the non-probable big hit symbol “6, 6.6”, and the promotion effect is not executed, so “6, 6.6” is fixedly stopped as it is. The variation time of the symbol variation is “variation time 60 seconds determined with reference to the main game table 3”. In addition, in the same figure, as the promotion effect, only the effect mode in which the non-probable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped after the non-probable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped and then changed to the big hit symbol is illustrated, but the promotion is promoted after the non-probable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped. After the effect is executed, the promotion failure effect may be executed such that the non-probable big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped without being promoted. By configuring as such, after the promotion effect is executed after the non-probable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped, the promotion success effect that the probability variable big hit symbol is fixed and stopped without promotion, and the above-mentioned promotion failure production The two types of promotion effects can be configured to be executable, and the frequency of executing the promotion effect can be increased when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped at the non-probable big hit symbol. Even if it is temporarily stopped, the promotion effect is executed, and after that, it can be expected that the probable big hit symbol will be confirmed and stopped.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the hold change effect execution process according to the subroutine of step 3050 of FIG. First, in step 3052, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the on-hold change effect execution flag (the flag that is turned on at the timing when the on-hold change success effect or the on-hold change failure effect is specified) is off. judge. In the case of Yes in step 3052, in step 3054, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the pending change effect executing flag. Next, in step 3056, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays a character as a hold change effect. Next, in step 3058, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays a button image prompting the operation of the sub input button SB. Next, in step 3060, the CPUSC of the sub control board S starts by setting a predetermined value (for example, 3 seconds) in the change effect timer HEt (decrement timer), and proceeds to step 3062. Note that if the answer is No in Step 3052, the process proceeds to Step 3062.

  Next, in step 3062, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the sub input button SB has been operated. If Yes in step 3062, the process proceeds to step 3066. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3062, in step 3064, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the timer value of the change effect timer HEt is zero. If Yes in step 3064, the process proceeds to step 3066. Next, in step 3066, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the hold in the case of the hold change success effect or the character changes the hold change in the case of the hold change failure effect as the hold change success effect. Execute the production that fails. Next, in step 3068, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the on-hold change effect execution flag. Next, in step 3070, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the hold change effect execution start flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2830). Note that if the answer is No in Step 3064, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2830). As described above, in the present embodiment, the button image prompting the operation of the sub input button SB is displayed when the hold change effect is executed, and the sub input button SB is operated while the button image is displayed (for 3 seconds), or When the button image display period ends (3 seconds have elapsed), the hold change is executed in the case of the hold change success effect. Note that the hold change may not be executed when the display period of the button image ends without operating the sub input button SB.

  Next, FIG. 34 is an image diagram of execution of a pending change effect in the present embodiment. First, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is displayed in a variable manner. In this example, the number of holdings is three, and the trigger holding related to the holding change effect is the second holding (in other words, the symbol change related to the trigger holding is changed after two changes of the symbol change). Executed). Further, the display mode of the trigger hold is “white”.

  Next, a character (a lion in this example) is displayed as a hold change effect, and a button image that prompts the user to operate the sub input button SB is displayed.

  Next, after the character and button image are displayed, if there is no operation of the sub input button SB until a predetermined time (3 seconds in this example) elapses, the character and button image disappear, and the display mode of the hold is It does not change (the display mode of the hold is kept “white”).

  On the other hand, if the sub input button SB is operated before a predetermined time (3 seconds in this example) has elapsed after the character and the button image are displayed, the hold change effect (success) or the hold change effect (success) One of these is executed. When the hold change effect (success) is executed, as an effect that the character changes the hold, the lion touches the hold display related to the trigger hold, and the effect that the display mode of the hold changes from “white” to “red” is executed. To do. When the hold change effect (failure) is executed, the effect that the lion sheds tears as the effect of the character failing the hold change, and the display mode of the hold does not change (the display mode of the hold is “white”). Maintained).

  Here, in the present embodiment, as an effect mode of the hold change, the hold change effect that is an effect through the operation of the sub input button SB (an effect including an effect that prompts the operation of the sub input button SB), and the sub input button SB. And an on-holding change effect that is an effect that does not involve the operation of (not including an effect that prompts the user to operate the sub input button SB). In the present embodiment, when the hold change effect is executed, a change in the background effect is accompanied when the trigger hold occurs, so that the player is immediately notified that the trigger hold has occurred. Therefore, when the effect mode of the hold change is only the hold change effect, the player cannot expect the hold change when the background effect does not change when the hold occurs. On the other hand, in the hold change effect, the effect that prompts the operation of the sub input button SB is suddenly executed (without the change in the background effect), so even if the background effect is not accompanied when the hold occurs, the player Expect pending changes. In addition, by providing a plurality of effects related to the change in hold, various effects can be generated in the period from the occurrence of the hold to the start of the symbol change related to the hold, which increases the interest of the game. This can be further improved.

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process 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 is configured such that whether or not to add a variation addition time can be determined after the variation mode of the main game symbol is determined by lottery. In addition, when the determined variation mode of the main game symbol is a predetermined variation mode, a variation addition time based on the variation mode is added, and when the determined stop symbol of the main game symbol is a predetermined stop symbol By adding a variation addition time based on the symbol, it is possible to add a variation addition time of various timings and time values, and to appropriately execute an effect based on the variation addition time. Interesting will increase.

(Modification 1 from this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the determination result of the main game symbol, the stop symbol, the variation mode are determined in advance, and information on the determination result is transmitted from the main control board side to the sub control board side. However, the configuration relating to the prior determination is not limited to this. Therefore, a configuration different from the present embodiment as a configuration relating to prior determination is referred to as a first modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 36 is a flowchart according to the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of Step 1300 in FIG. 4 in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. Changes from the present embodiment are Step 3200 (Modification 1) and Step 1317 (Modification 1), that is, in Step 1318, the CPUMC of the main control board M is the result of whether or not the new first main game side is held. Then, after setting a command (command to the sub-control board S side) relating to the pre-determination result of the stop symbol information, in step 3200 (variant 1), the CPUMC of the main control board M performs a variable addition time pre-determination process to be described later. Execute. Next, in Step 1317 (Modification 1), the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub-control board S side) related to the new determination result of the pending change addition time, and goes to Step 1320. Transition.

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart according to the variation addition time prior determination process according to the subroutine of Step 3200 (Modification 1) in FIG. 36 in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. First, in step 3202, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to a pre-determined result regarding pre-determined new suspended stop symbol information, and the pre-determined result regarding the new suspended stop symbol is an additional jackpot symbol (variable addition time). Is a jackpot symbol to be added, and in this example, it is determined whether or not it is 9A / 9B). In the case of Yes in step 3202, in step 3204, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds the variation addition time (in this example, 10 seconds) to the final timing of the variation time related to the determined new hold. Is temporarily stored as a preliminary determination result regarding the variation addition time, and the process proceeds to step 3206. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 3202, the process proceeds to step 3206. Next, in step 3206, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the prior determination result relating to the new pending variation mode is an additional variation mode (a variation mode in which a variation addition time is added. In this example, AX Ax) is determined. In the case of Yes in step 3206, in step 3208, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the variation mode-dependent variation addition time determination table, determines in advance the timing for adding the variation addition time, and performs the next process {step 1317 ( The process proceeds to the process 1). Even in the case of No in step 3206, the process proceeds to the next process {the process of step 1317 (modified 1)}.

  Next, FIG. 38 is a flowchart related to the hold information management process according to the subroutine of Step 2500 of FIG. 19 in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. A change from the present embodiment is Step 3300 (Modification 1), that is, after the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the variation addition time prefetch determination processing in Step 2150, the sub-control board S performs Step 2300 (Modification 1). The CPUSC of the control board S executes a variable addition time look-ahead determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2510.

  Next, FIG. 39 is a flowchart related to the variation addition time prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of Step 3300 (Modification 1) of FIG. 38 in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. As will be described later, the processing in steps 3302 to 3308 is processing related to the prohibition condition of the prefetch lottery, and the processing in steps 3310 to 3322 is processing related to the prefetch lottery.

  First, in Step 3302, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the second main game hold (holding that is digested with priority over the first main game side) does not exist in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 3302, in step 3304, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time reduction gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 3304, in step 3306, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether there is no trigger hold in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 3306, in step 3308, 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 3308, in step 3310, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a hold to which a variable addition time is added. In the case of Yes in step 3310, in step 3312, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 3312, in step 3314, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/5), and proceeds to the processing of step 3320. On the other hand, if No in step 3312 (i.e., a hold that is lost), in step 3318, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a prefetch lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/20). Transition to processing. Next, in step 3320, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the prefetch lottery executed in the process of step 3314 or step 3318 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3320, in step 3322, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S adds information indicating “trigger hold” to the new hold selected in the prefetch lottery, and performs the next process (in step 2510). Process). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3302, in step 3324, the CPUSC of the sub control board S deletes the information indicating “trigger hold” in the hold (because there is a hold on the second main game side) The information relating to prefetching is deleted), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2510). It should be noted that if the result of step 3304, step 3306, step 3308, step 3310, or step 3320 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2510).

  Note that the variation added time prefetch determination process in step 3300 (variant 1), which is a process related to FIG. 39, is configured to be executed after the first main game prefetch determination process in step 2150 is executed. In the execution of the 1 main game prefetch determination process, if information indicating that the trigger is on hold is added to the newly generated hold, the prefetch lottery is not executed in the process of Step 3300 (Variation 1). That is, the prefetch lottery related to the variable addition time prefetch determination process can be executed when the prefetch lottery is not won in the first main game prefetch determination process.

  By configuring as described above, according to the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, information on the stop symbol that has been pre-determined whether or not to add the variation addition time or information on the pre-determined variation mode By determining so as to be determined based on the above, it is possible to determine in advance whether or not the variable addition time is to be added before the hold is digested. By configuring in this way, it is possible to execute a prefetch effect related to the variation addition time such as an effect mode that suggests an effect to be executed in the variation addition time, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the present example, the main game table 3 is referred to, and after the change mode is determined, it is determined whether or not the variable addition time is added, so the main game table 3 is referred to. The types of variation modes that can be determined in combination with a plurality of types of variation addition time can be configured to determine the variation mode related to the main game symbol, and all of the variation modes including the variation addition time can be determined. Compared with a mode in which combinations are drawn in a lump, the amount of data used in determining the variation mode of the main game symbol and determining the effect related to the symbol variation can be reduced.

(Summary)
The following concepts can be extracted (listed) based on the configuration shown in the above embodiments. However, the concepts listed below are merely examples, and the concepts based on the further configurations shown in the above embodiments are added to these concepts as well as the combination and separation (higher level conceptualization) of these listed concepts.
