Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine prevented from restricting a performance to be executed by displacing a sub liquid crystal and, when the game state is transferred to a new game state after a jackpot game, capable of finishing the displacement of the sub liquid crystal to a scheduled arrangement position until the transfer is finished.SOLUTION: A game machine includes, as an execution time of a jackpot termination interval, a second interval time that is longer than that of a first interval time and, when a result of win/failure determination is a jackpot in a normal state and, after the jackpot game, the game state is transferred to a special state, selects the second interval time. In the normal state, a displaceable second display device is arranged at a first initial position and, in a special state, arranged at a second initial position. When not present at the second initial position during a jackpot termination interval, the second interval time being selected as the execution time thereof, the second display device is displaced to the second initial position, where the second interval time is set to a maximum necessary time or more, necessary for displacing the second display device to the second initial position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 21

Description

  The present invention belongs to the technical field of gaming machines.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine, which is one type of gaming machine, a propriety determination of whether or not to make a big hit is performed based on a predetermined opportunity such as winning of a game ball in a starting opening, The structure shown to the player has been adopted using a liquid crystal display device capable of displaying various effects. As described above, by showing the result of the acceptance determination to the player in the effect display of the liquid crystal display device, it is possible to richly expect a sense of expectation to the big hit, and the improvement of interest has been realized.

  By the way, in recent gaming machines, as the above-mentioned liquid crystal display device, a main liquid crystal display device (also referred to as main liquid crystal) and a sub liquid crystal display device (also referred to as sub liquid crystal) are provided separately from the main liquid crystal. Has become visible.

  Furthermore, among pachinko gaming machines in which such sub-liquid crystals are provided separately, the sub-liquid crystal is configured to be displaceable, so that the relative positional relationship with the fixed main liquid crystal can be changed ( For example, there is also Patent Document 1).

  By providing the sub-liquid crystal that can be displaced in this way, the variation of the effect display is significantly enriched compared to a gaming machine equipped with only the main liquid crystal and a gaming machine equipped with the sub-liquid crystal but can not be displaced. It is possible to give a width to how to show the effect display.

  When the sub-liquid crystal which can be displaced is provided, it is conceivable to make the arrangement position of the sub-liquid crystal different according to the type of the different gaming state. That is, for example, when the gaming state shifts from the placement position in the normal gaming state to the special gaming state, the sub liquid crystal is displaced to the placement position in the special gaming state, and the presentation of presentation (representation method of presentation) It is also possible to make them different.

JP, 2016-093715, A

  By the way, as described above, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, for example, is equipped with a sub-liquid crystal that can be displaced, and has different arrangement positions according to the type of gaming state, thereby making the variations of the effects richer. In the case of a machine, the gaming state is generally set to change at the timing after the end of the jackpot gaming state.

  Therefore, at the end of the jackpot game, the sub-liquid crystal moves to the arrangement position corresponding to the next transition to the game state in time to start the new game state, and the new game state starts. It is preferable to have a configuration for waiting for

  However, in order to complete the displacement of the sub-liquid crystal to the placement position corresponding to the next gaming state before the transition to the next gaming state starts at the end of the big hit gaming state in this way, to the placement position There is a problem that the transition of the liquid crystal can be displaced only within a complete range with a margin, and the effect by displacing the sub liquid crystal is considerably restricted.

  Further, when the range of displacement of the above-described sub liquid crystal is set relatively wide, there is a possibility that the distance between the position of the sub liquid crystal which starts displacement and the arrangement position at the time of completion of displacement may be greatly separated. At this time, if the completion of the displacement to the placement position is not in time, for example, after the next special gaming state has already started, the displacement to the placement position is performed during that time. For this reason, there is also a problem that the appearance is very bad as the effect and the interest is reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to shift to a new gaming state after a big hit game without limiting the effect to be executed by displacing the sub liquid crystal, and it is scheduled before the transition. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of completing the displacement of the sub liquid crystal to the arranged position.

  The invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above-mentioned subject relates to the result of the propriety determination means which performs the propriety determination based on the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the starting opening. A special symbol display means shown by displaying a special symbol after being changed and displayed, a big hit game occurrence means for generating a big hit game if the result of the hit / not decision is a big hit, and a normal state as a game state than the normal state The present invention relates to a gaming machine having a special state advantageous to a player and having special state transition means for transitioning to the special state after the end of the big hit game.

  In this gaming machine, the big hit game has at least a big hit start interval and a big hit end interval, and a first interval time and a second interval time longer than the first interval time are provided as execution times of the big hit end interval. In the normal state, when the result of the success or failure judgment is a big hit, and when transitioning to a special state after the big hit game, the second interval time is selected, and the effect display device is provided to execute effect display indicating the result of the success or failure judgment The display device comprises at least a non-displaceable first display device and a second display device smaller and displaceable than the first display device, and the second display device has a first initial position as an initial position in a normal state. Is placed in a second initial position different from the first initial position as an initial position in the special state, and the second display It is assumed that at least the second interval is displaced to the second initial position if it does not exist in the second initial position during the selected jackpot end interval, and the second interval time is the predetermined value of the second display device. The maximum required time for displacing from any position within the movable range to the second initial position is set.

  According to such a configuration, the second interval time is selected when the result of the determination of the success or failure in the normal state is a big hit, and when transitioning to a special state after the big hit game. Then, when at least the second interval time does not exist in the second initial position during the selected jackpot end interval, that is, for example, when it is in the first initial position, it is displaced to the second initial position. Therefore, even if the second display device is in the first initial position in the normal state, it is necessary to shift to the second initial position in the special state transitioning after the big hit game, the second display as the execution time of the big hit end interval That is, during the big hit game, that is, the special state, by the fact that the second interval time set to the maximum required time or more for displacing from any position within the predetermined movable range of the device to the second initial position is set. Prior to transitioning to the second initial position, the displacement can be completed with a sufficient margin.

  Moreover, according to such a configuration, since the second interval time is set with a sufficient margin for the second display device to be displaced to the second initial position, the state shifts to the special state after the big hit game When the second display device is displaced to the second initial position, a state where a special state is started in the middle of the displacement does not occur. That is, after the second display device is reliably displaced to the second initial position, the special state is started. Thus, the relationship between the special state to be executed and the arrangement position of the second display device corresponds correctly. Therefore, it is possible to provide an effect without a sense of discomfort.

  The second interval time is set to be equal to or longer than the maximum required time for the second display device to displace from any position within the predetermined movable range to the second initial position. Therefore, in the case of performing a dynamic effect by the displacement by displacing the second display device during the big hit game, the second interval can be surely performed regardless of where in the movable range the second display device is located. The second initial position can be displaced in time. Thereby, the second display device can be freely displaced and produced without any restriction during the big hit game.

Moreover, according to such a configuration, in various cases described below, it is possible to select the second interval time as the execution time of the big hit end interval at the big hit that occurred in the normal state.
For example, the first special figure is provided with the first special figure and the second special figure, the first special figure fluctuates based on the winning to the first starting opening that can always be prized, and the second special figure is provided in the ordinary electric role. 2 fluctuates based on the winning opening to the starting opening, the first and second special figures are each equipped with a definite symbol (a symbol to shift to a definite variation state after a big hit game) and a normal symbol (a symbol to shift to a normal condition after a big hit game) Assuming a configuration (probability change loop machine) in which the probability of success or failure judgment is maintained with high probability until the next big hit occurs when shifting to the definite change state, the case of a big hit in the success or failure judgment during the normal state When a big hit is made with the odd or special symbol of the first or second special view, the second interval time may be selected as the execution time of the big hit end interval related to the big hit.
Also, for example, the first special figure and the second special figure are provided, the first special figure fluctuates based on the winning of the first start-up port that can always be prized, and the second special figure is provided in the ordinary electric combination. The first and second special figures fluctuate based on the winning of the second starting opening, and each of the first and second special figures has a probability variation symbol (a symbol to shift to a definite variation state after a big hit game) and a normal symbol (pattern to shift to a normal condition after a big hit game) When assuming a configuration (ST configuration) in which the probability of success or failure judgment is maintained at a high probability until the next big hit occurs or a predetermined number of fluctuation display is reached when transitioning to a definite variation state is made, In the case of a big hit in the judgment of the status during the state, when it is a big hit in the first special view, the second interval time is selected as the execution time of the big hit end interval related to the big hit It is good. In the normal state, when the fluctuation frequency in the normal state is big hit with the first special view higher than the second special figure, as the execution time of the big hit end interval, prepare for the transition to the definite change state after the big hit. Two interval times are selected. In this case, the second interval time is also selected when the big hit in the first special figure is not the first hit of the definite change, that is, in this case, the second display device is the first initial position Therefore, the second display device can secure a sufficient standby time. On the other hand, the second display device is displaced from the first initial position to the second initial position by selecting the second interval time even when the big hit in the odd special design of the first special figure, the big hit end interval Since a sufficient displacement time is secured therein, the occurrence of problems can be prevented.
Furthermore, in the configuration of the ST machine, the first special figure and the second special figure are both configured with only the odd symbol (the symbol that shifts to the definite state after the big hit game), that is, the normal symbol (after the big hit game) It is good also as composition which is not provided with a symbol) which shifts to a normal state. In this way, the second interval time is selected when a big hit is made in the first special view, which is relatively likely to fluctuate in the normal state, that is, when the first hit of a positive change occurs in the normal state. Therefore, while the second display device is displaced from the first initial position to the second initial position, a sufficient displacement time is secured during the big hit end interval. In addition, since the first special view does not have a normal symbol that does not shift to a definite change, the player has time to spare by maintaining the attitude of the second display device from the first initial position for a long time without moving. Can prevent such problems.

  In addition, the invention according to claim 2 made in view of the above-mentioned subject makes a regular drawing decision whether it is due to the game ball entering the regular drawing operation opening, and if it becomes per common drawing according to the judgment The normal electric combination that the game ball opens the opening and closing member easily over the open time of the game, and the starting opening is built in the first start opening where the gaming ball can always enter the ball and the common movement combination. A second starting port is provided, and the special symbol is a first special symbol that changes and displays due to entering the first starting port, and a second that changes and displays due to entering the second starting port. A special symbol is included, and the success / failure judgment means that makes a yes / no judgment based on the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the starting opening, and the definite display after displaying the special symbol in a variable manner If the result of the special symbol display means shown by doing and the result of the success or failure judgment is a big hit, a big hit game is generated The jackpot generating means for causing the jackpot, the special state transition means having the normal state as the gaming state and the special state advantageous to the player than the normal state, and transitioning to the special state after the end of the big hit game The present invention relates to a gaming machine having an opening extension means for extending the opening time of the camera so that the special state takes a longer time than the normal state.

  In this gaming machine, the big hit game has at least a big hit start interval and a big hit end interval, and a first interval time and a second interval time longer than the first interval time are provided as execution times of the big hit end interval. When the result of the success or failure judgment concerning the first special symbol is a big hit and transition to a special state after the big hit game, the second interval time is selected, and the effect display device which executes the effect display indicating the result of the success or failure decision The effect display device comprises at least a non-displaceable first display device and a second display device smaller and displaceable than the first display device, wherein the second display device is set as the initial position in the normal state. 1 in the initial position, and in the special state, in the second initial position different from the first initial position as the initial position; The device shall be displaced to the second initial position if at least the second interval does not exist in the second initial position during the selected jackpot end interval, the second interval being a predetermined value of the second display device The maximum required time for displacing from any position within the movable range to the second initial position is set.

  According to such a configuration, the second special symbol has a higher possibility of variable display than the first special symbol in the special state due to the opening extension means, and conversely, in the normal state, the first special symbol is more than the first special symbol. The special symbol is more likely to display variable. And in the normal state where the possibility of the variable display concerning the 1st special symbol is high compared with the 2nd special symbol, the result of the pass / fail judgment concerning the 1st special symbol becomes the big hit, and it shifts to the special state after the big hit game. When the second interval time is selected. Then, when at least the second interval time does not exist in the second initial position during the selected jackpot end interval, that is, for example, when it is in the first initial position, it is displaced to the second initial position. Therefore, even if the second display device is in the first initial position in the normal state, it is necessary to shift to the second initial position in the special state transitioning after the big hit game, the second display as the execution time of the big hit end interval That is, during the big hit game, that is, the special state, by the fact that the second interval time set to the maximum required time or more for displacing from any position within the predetermined movable range of the device to the second initial position is set. Prior to transitioning to the second initial position, the displacement can be completed with a sufficient margin.

  Moreover, according to such a configuration, since the second interval time is set with a sufficient margin for the second display device to be displaced to the second initial position, the state shifts to the special state after the big hit game When the second display device is displaced to the second initial position, a state where a special state is started in the middle of the displacement does not occur. That is, after the second display device is reliably displaced to the second initial position, the special state is started. Thus, the relationship between the special state to be executed and the arrangement position of the second display device corresponds correctly. Therefore, it is possible to provide an effect without a sense of discomfort.

  The second interval time is set to be equal to or longer than the maximum required time for the second display device to displace from any position within the predetermined movable range to the second initial position. Therefore, in the case of performing a dynamic effect by the displacement by displacing the second display device during the big hit game, the second interval can be surely performed regardless of where in the movable range the second display device is located. The second initial position can be displaced in time. Thereby, the second display device can be freely displaced and produced without any restriction during the big hit game.

Moreover, according to such a configuration, in various cases described below, it is possible to select the second interval time as the execution time of the big hit end interval at the big hit that occurred in the normal state.
For example, the first special figure is provided with the first special figure and the second special figure, the first special figure fluctuates based on the winning to the first starting opening that can always be prized, and the second special figure is provided in the ordinary electric role. 2 fluctuates based on the winning opening to the starting opening, the first and second special figures are each equipped with a definite symbol (a symbol to shift to a definite variation state after a big hit game) and a normal symbol (a symbol to shift to a normal condition after a big hit game) Assuming a configuration (probability change loop machine) in which the probability of success or failure judgment is maintained with high probability until the next big hit occurs when shifting to the definite change state, the case of a big hit in the success or failure judgment during the normal state When a big hit is made with the odd or special symbol of the first or second special view, the second interval time may be selected as the execution time of the big hit end interval related to the big hit.
Also, for example, the first special figure and the second special figure are provided, the first special figure fluctuates based on the winning of the first start-up port that can always be prized, and the second special figure is provided in the ordinary electric combination. The first and second special figures fluctuate based on the winning of the second starting opening, and each of the first and second special figures has a probability variation symbol (a symbol to shift to a definite variation state after a big hit game) and a normal symbol (pattern to shift to a normal condition after a big hit game) When assuming a configuration (ST configuration) in which the probability of success or failure judgment is maintained at a high probability until the next big hit occurs or a predetermined number of fluctuation display is reached when transitioning to a definite variation state is made, In the case of a big hit in the judgment of the status during the state, when it is a big hit in the first special view, the second interval time is selected as the execution time of the big hit end interval related to the big hit It is good. In the normal state, when the fluctuation frequency in the normal state is big hit with the first special view higher than the second special figure, as the execution time of the big hit end interval, prepare for the transition to the definite change state after the big hit. Two interval times are selected. In this case, the second interval time is also selected when the big hit in the first special figure is not the first hit of the definite change, that is, in this case, the second display device is the first initial position Therefore, the second display device can secure a sufficient standby time. On the other hand, the second display device is displaced from the first initial position to the second initial position by selecting the second interval time even when the big hit in the odd special design of the first special figure, the big hit end interval Since a sufficient displacement time is secured therein, the occurrence of problems can be prevented.
Furthermore, in the configuration of the ST machine, the first special figure and the second special figure are both configured with only the odd symbol (the symbol that shifts to the definite state after the big hit game), that is, the normal symbol (after the big hit game) It is good also as composition which is not provided with a symbol) which shifts to a normal state. In this way, the second interval time is selected when a big hit is made in the first special view, which is relatively likely to fluctuate in the normal state, that is, when the first hit of a positive change occurs in the normal state. Therefore, while the second display device is displaced from the first initial position to the second initial position, a sufficient displacement time is secured during the big hit end interval. In addition, since the first special view does not have a normal symbol that does not shift to a definite change, the player has time to spare by maintaining the attitude of the second display device from the first initial position for a long time without moving. Can prevent such problems.

  Also, as described in claim 3, in the gaming machine according to claim 1 or claim 2, a big hit occurs during the special state, and the gaming machine shifts to the normal state after the big hit game is over. In the case, the big hit end interval of the big hit game is set to the second interval time or the maximum required time for displacing from any position within the predetermined movable range of the second display device to the first initial position A third interval time is provided, and the second display device is displaced to the first initial position during the big hit end interval of the big hit game.

  According to such a configuration, the second interval time or the third interval time is selected even in the big hit that transitions from the special state to the normal state, and the normal state is returned to the first initial position, which is the initial position of the normal state. When it shifts to, it is possible to return to the first initial position.

  If the first initial position and the second initial position are simply reciprocated, the required time is the same, so there is a possibility that the second interval time is selected. Also, for example, if the displacement from the first initial position to the second initial position is a displacement including at least a downward displacement, it is natural that the displacement from the second initial position to the first initial position is a displacement including at least an upward displacement. It becomes. If there is a difference between the descent and the rise, that is, if the ascending displacement requires a longer time than the descending displacement, the third interval longer than the second interval time A time may be provided. By configuring in this way, it is possible to set the big hit end interval time that reliably corresponds to the difference in the required displacement time. Therefore, it is ensured that the displacement is completed within the big hit end interval time, and since it is a big hit end interval time corresponding to the required time related to displacement, it is prevented that a long time is set meaninglessly and extended it can.

  Further, as described in claim 4, in the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the special state is a result of the pass / fail judgment to be executed during the special state. Is transferred to the normal state based on losing a predetermined number of times, and when the result of the pass / fail determination at least the predetermined number of times is a loss, announcing a result regarding a big hit during the special state, and The second display device is displaced to the first initial position by the time the variable display relating to the determination of the result as a result of loss is ended.

  According to such a configuration, the special state returns to the normal state due to the occurrence of a predetermined number of losses, but at least the last variation display of the special state informs the result regarding the jackpot during the special state and 1Displace to the initial position. Therefore, the second display device can be freely displaced and rendered during the special state, and the second display device can be reliably returned to the first initial position at the timing when the transition to the normal state is made.

  Further, as described in claim 5, in the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the third initial position as the initial position of the second display device in the big hit game The second display device is displaced to the third initial position during the big hit start interval, and is displaced to the first initial position or the second term position during the big hit end interval, and further comprises a prefetch determination function, and the prefetch determination If it is determined by the function that there is a hold that results in a big hit in the hold, the second display device is not displaced to the first initial position or the second initial position during the big hit end interval.

  According to such a configuration, when there is a hold that will be a big hit in the hold targeted for the judgment of the pre-read judgment function, the first initial position or the purpose to bother to enter the big hit gaming state immediately after the big hit game. Even if it is displaced to the second initial position, it is necessary to immediately displace again, and there is a possibility that the displacement of the second display device may be bothersome to the player, but it will be a big hit in the hold by the pre-reading judgment If the second display device is not displaced, such a problem does not occur.

  In addition, the player can recognize that there is a big hit in the hold by visually recognizing that the second display device is not displaced during the end interval. Thus, the player can be made to pay attention to the movement of the second display device.

(3) Specifications Based on Configuration of Pachinko Machine 50 Next, the specifications relating to the pachinko machine 50 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the jackpot probability, that is, the probability of becoming a jackpot as a result of the lottery for the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set to 1/300. The probability is a probability of becoming a big hit in the determination with reference to the normal table executed in S235 of the success / failure determination process (FIG. 11) described later.
The rate at which the lottery probability of the winning or losing lottery pertaining to the special symbol after the big hit gaming state is changed to the high probability higher than that of the normal gaming state is either the first special symbol or the second special symbol if it is a big hit 60% of it fluctuates. The rate at which the "open extension function" is activated after the end of the jackpot gaming state fluctuates by 90% in any of the first special symbol and the second special symbol when it is a big hit.
Although not illustrated, the probability of shifting to the high probability when the probability variation is performed is the probability of becoming a big hit in the determination with reference to the probability variation table executed in S230 of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 11) described later. . The high probability of the present embodiment is set to, for example, 1/30.

When one game ball wins (enters) in the winning opening, the number of winning balls is three for the first starting opening (illustrated, special opening for starting 1), and the second starting opening (illustrated for starting, special 2 opening) There is one, 10 other winning openings, and 10 large winning openings.
In addition, the lottery probability of the success or failure lottery pertaining to the normal symbol is set to 1/10 in the normal gaming state, and 1 / 1.101 at the time of operation of the open extension function.
Furthermore, the opening time according to the normal motorized character when the normal symbol hits is set to 0.2 seconds in the normal gaming state, and three times for one second in activating the opening extension function.

(4) About distribution at the time of big hit of the 1st and 2nd special symbols Next, distribution configuration at the time of the big hit of the 1st and 2nd special symbols of this embodiment is explained with reference to FIG.
Fig.6 (a) shows distribution configuration at the time of big hit of a 1st special symbol, and FIG.6 (b) shows distribution configuration at the time of big hit of a 2nd special symbol.

  As shown to Fig.6 (a), a 1st special symbol is equipped with six types of big hit symbols of "special figure 1-pattern 1" thru | or "special figure 1-pattern 6." And for every big hit symbol, distribution ratio, operation possibility of probability change function and the period when activated (number of fluctuation display of special symbol), operation availability of open extension function and period when activated (number of fluctuation display of special symbol) The number of rounds executed in the big hit gaming state and the type of gaming state to shift after the big hit game are set as illustrated.

  In addition, about the classification of the game state which shifts after a big hit game, "high probability support" is in "probability change mode", "low probability support is" in "time saving mode", and "low probability support" is "normally Corresponds to the mode. And in the first special symbol, "special figure 1-pattern 1" and "special figure 1-pattern 2" that are shifted to "high probability support" are called "probable figure", and "low probability support" or "low" The "special figure 1-pattern 3" to the "special figure 1-pattern 6" that are shifted to no definite support are usually referred to as a symbol.

  Furthermore, in the first special symbol, the gaming state is usually when the big hit in the judgment of acceptance and the probability variation symbol (any one of "special figure 1-pattern 1" and "special figure 1-pattern 2") is selected If it is the time, 6.0 seconds is set to be selected as the big hit end interval time. In addition, similarly, if the gaming state is a definite change when the probability change symbol is selected as a big hit in the success or failure determination, 2.9 seconds is set to be selected as the big hit end interval time.

  In addition, in the first special symbol, the game state is normal when the normal symbol (any one of "special figure 1-pattern 3" to "special figure 1-pattern 6") is selected as a big hit in the judgment of acceptance. If it is the time, 2.9 seconds is set to be selected as the big hit end interval time. Similarly, if the gaming state is a definite change when the normal symbol is selected as a big hit in the success or failure judgment, 6.0 seconds is selected as the big hit end interval time.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the second special symbol is provided with three types of big hit symbols of “special symbol 2-symbol 1” to “special symbol 2-symbol 3”. And, as with the first special symbol, for each big hit symbol, distribution ratio, operation possibility of probability variation function and the period when activated (number of times of variation display of special symbol), operation availability of open extension function and period when activated (( The number of variation display of special symbols), the number of rounds executed in the big hit gaming state, and the type of gaming state to shift after the big hit game are set as illustrated. And in the second special symbol, "special figure 2-pattern 1" which shifts to "with high probability support" is called a probability variation symbol, and it shifts to "with low probability support" or "without low probability support" Fig. 2-Design 2 "and" Special Figure 2-Design 3 "are usually referred to as a design.

  Furthermore, in the second special symbol, if the gaming state is normal when the probability change ("special figure 2-symbol 1") is selected and the game condition is normal, as a big hit end interval time, 6 .0 seconds are set to be selected. In addition, similarly, if the gaming state is a definite change when the probability change symbol is selected as a big hit in the success or failure determination, 2.9 seconds is set to be selected as the big hit end interval time.

  In addition, in the second special symbol, the gaming state is usually when the normal symbol (one of "special figure 2-pattern 2" and "special figure 2-pattern 3") is selected as a big hit in the acceptance judgment If it is the time, 2.9 seconds is set to be selected as the big hit end interval time. Similarly, if the gaming state is a definite change when the normal symbol is selected as a big hit in the success or failure judgment, 6.0 seconds is selected as the big hit end interval time.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first and second special symbols have different big hit end interval times depending on the type of gaming state (normal gaming state or probability variation gaming state) when a big hit occurs in the winning lottery. It is configured to select and determine the type (2.9 seconds or 6.0 seconds) of.

  More specifically, when the big hit with the big symbol, that is, when the big variations are continuous, 2.9 seconds which is a relatively short big hit end interval time is selected. On the other hand, when a big hit in a normal symbol at the time of definite variation, that is, when a series of positive variation ends, 6.0 seconds which is a relatively long big hit end interval time is selected.

  In addition, when the big hit in the odd symbol in normal times, that is, when the first hit of the positive variation occurs, 6.0 seconds which is a relatively long big hit end interval time is selected. On the other hand, if you hit a big hit with a normal symbol at the normal time, that is, if you made a big hit, but transition to a definite change mode (continuous chan) is not made and the normal gaming state continues after a big hit, a relatively short big hit end interval time Which is 2.9 seconds is selected.

  In the configuration of such an embodiment, the predetermined arrangement position of the sub effect symbol display device 6b differs depending on the gaming state. That is, it is configured to be disposed at the first initial position (see FIG. 21 (a)) in normal times, but disposed at the second initial position (see FIG. 21 (d)) at the time of positive variation. In the present embodiment, on the premise of such a configuration, the game apparatus is configured to be displaced to a corresponding initial position until the change is completed as the gaming state changes.

  That is, if the gaming state before and after the big hit game is the same, the sub effect symbol display device 6b does not have to make a displacement from one initial position to the other initial position, so the jackpot ends in a relatively short time 2.9 seconds is selected as the interval time. That is, for example, the case where it does not move from the first initial position by changing from the normal gaming state to the normal gaming state, or the case where it does not move from the second initial position by changing from the probability game state to the probability game state Do.

  On the other hand, if the gaming state before and after the big hit game is different, the sub effect symbol display device 6b has to shift from one initial position to the other initial position, so it takes a relatively long time 6.0 seconds is selected as the big hit end interval time of. That is, for example, when changing from the first gaming position to the second initial position by changing from the normal gaming state to the probability changing gaming state, or changing from the probability changing gaming state to the normal gaming state, from the second initial position to the first initial The case of displacement to position movement corresponds to this.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the same probability symbol or the normal symbol is selected, different big hit end interval times are selected depending on the type of gaming state in which the jackpot determination of the big hit made is selected. If the sub effect symbol display device 6b has to be displaced to the initial position corresponding to the gaming state after the big hit game by setting to be set before the new gaming state is started, If it is possible to complete the displacement, or if the displacement is not required, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game by allocating a time longer than necessary to the big hit end interval time. ing.

In the present embodiment, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are set to have different proportions to be the same big hit (probability change function, open extension function, number of rounds, type of gaming state to be transferred, etc.) There is.
That is, the probability change function and the open extension function are operated 100 times, the number of big hit rounds is 15 rounds, and the distribution ratio that becomes the big hit to shift to high probability support is “special figure 1-pattern 1” in the first special symbol Is 10/100 in the case where is selected, while in the second special symbol, it is 60/100 in the case where the "special figure 2-pattern 1" is selected.
In addition, the probability change function does not work, the open extension function works 100 times, the number of big hit rounds is 15 rounds, and the distribution rate that becomes the big hit to shift to low probability support is “Special figure 1 in the first special symbol” -While it is 5/100 when symbol 3 is selected, it is 30/100 when "special figure 2-symbol 2" is selected by the 2nd special symbol.
In addition, the probability change function and the open extension function do not work together, and the number of big hit rounds is 15 rounds, and the distribution ratio that becomes the big hit to shift without low probability support is "special figure 1-pattern 5" in the first special symbol Is 5/100 when "is selected", it is 10/100 when "special figure 2-pattern 3" is selected in the second special symbol.
Furthermore, while 15 rounds and 10 rounds are selected as the number of big hit rounds in the first special symbol, only 15 rounds are selected in the second special symbol. Thus, the probability of selecting a relatively large number of rounds, that is, a jackpot capable of acquiring a large number of prize balls, is set such that the second special symbol is higher than the first special symbol.

[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the pachinko in the first embodiment will be described.

(1) Outline of Operation First, an outline of the operation of the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment is capable of winning through the first starting port 11 which can always be prize-winning and the common power open game which is opened over a fixed period by winning in the above-mentioned normal symbol lottery processing. The second starting port 12 is provided, and a big hit lottery by random numbers extracted as a result of winning on the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 is performed. And, at the time of the big hit lottery, fluctuation indication of each special symbol is done with the 1st special figure indicator 9 concerning the 1st special symbol and with the 2nd special figure indicator 10 regarding the 2nd special symbol At the same time, the result of the big hit lottery is notified by displaying them in a stopped state (confirmed display). Also, in parallel with this, on the screen of the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b, after changing the effect symbols corresponding to each special symbol, they are stopped and displayed, and the big hit lottery A pseudo-representation to announce the result is performed.
In addition, as described above, on the screen of the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b, the effect symbols corresponding to each special symbol are variably displayed, but the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbols are displayed. You may make it carry out only by any one of production | presentation symbol display apparatus 6b. When performing variation display of the production symbol in the main production symbol display device 6a, the sub effect symbol display device 6b displays a predetermined character and executes the effect display which is expected to be a big hit in the variation display. You may Also, this role assignment may be alternated at other timings. The usage method of the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b can be appropriately selected.

In the pachinko machine 50, random numbers (numerical data) extracted by winning in the first start opening 11 or the second start opening 12 are stored as hold storage up to four, and the first special view hold number display device The number of each pending storage is displayed on the 18 or second special view pending number display device 19, and the pending symbol corresponding to each pending storage is displayed.
Further, on the screen of the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b, in addition to the pseudo effect for fluctuating display of the effect symbols corresponding to each of the above special symbols, the first special view holding number display device 18 or The first holding symbol or the second holding symbol corresponding to the holding symbol displayed on the second special drawing holding number display device 19 may be displayed. Furthermore, it may be configured to also display the during fluctuation symbol indicating the degree of expectation of the big hit concerning the suspended storage during fluctuation.

  The first holding symbol, the second holding symbol, and the symbol during fluctuation may also be displayed on one of the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b.

If it hits by the big hit lottery performed regarding the said retention memory, the big hit game of the number of predetermined rounds will be performed.
And, after the end of the big hit game, for a certain period (a period until a predetermined number of big hit lottery is made), the probability of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 being hit in the big hit lottery increases, “probable change mode” or ordinary symbol While the probability of winning in the lottery process increases, the opening time of the second starting opening 12 (normal electric combination) at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery process is extended, and the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened. It is configured to be able to shift to the "normal mode", which is a gaming state that is neither a mode "nor a definite change mode nor a time saving mode.
In the present embodiment, during the “probable change mode”, the probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery process is increased as in the “time saving mode”, and the second starting opening 12 at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery process ( The opening time of the ordinary electric part is extended, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is further shortened. On the other hand, in the “time saving mode”, the probability of winning or not in connection with the big hit is not increased.
Further, the above-mentioned function in the "time saving mode", that is, the probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery processing is increased, and the opening time of the second starting opening 12 (normal electric character) at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery processing is extended. Further, the function by which the variation time of the symbol is reduced is also referred to as the "open extension function" hereinafter. Therefore, the "open extension function" operates in any of the "probability change mode" and the "time reduction mode".

  The present embodiment adopts a so-called "probable loop" gaming machine configuration. That is, once a big hit with a probability change symbol and shifting to a positive change state after a big hit game, the positive change state is maintained until the next big hit is won almost certainly. Specifically, in the case of a big hit with a probability change symbol to be described later, the probability change function is set to continue until the variable display of 10000 times is ended. This is a so-called "ST (round-turn probability change) function", but the number of times of fluctuation display which becomes the end of the probability change is very large, such as 10000 times, and if it is a general success / failure lottery probability It is possible to pay a big hit before reaching the time. In the present embodiment, the “probability change loop machine” is adopted, and it is illustrated separately from a general “ST machine” which has a relatively small number of STs.

Hereinafter, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment will be described in detail.
(2) Main Routine First, the main routine in the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is activated as a timer interrupt process of 2 ms cycle.

  In S10, main controller 80 determines whether or not the main routine has been activated by a normal timer interrupt, and when an affirmative determination is obtained (S10: Yes), the process proceeds to S20, and a negative determination is made. If the determination is obtained (S10: No), the process proceeds to S15.

At S15, main controller 80 initializes the CPU, I / O, etc., and shifts the processing to S75.
On the other hand, when an affirmative determination is obtained in S10, main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), updates the big hit determination random number (S25), updates the big hit symbol determination random number (S30), By updating the hit determination random number (S35), the reach determination random number update (S40), and the change pattern determination random numbers 1 and 2 (S45), the update of various random numbers (numerical data) is executed.

Then, a pending number command indicating the number of pending storages pertaining to the first special symbol that has not been digested is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S115.

In S115, main control device 80 executes pre-reading determination processing for determining a value such as a random number for big hit determination corresponding to the pending storage related to the newly generated first special symbol, and shifts the processing to S120 this embodiment In the pre-reading determination process (S115), it will be described later whether or not the stored numerical data has a content to be a big hit, that is, whether it matches a specific numerical value, before execution of the success / failure determination process described later. This processing is to confirm before the success / failure determination processing.
Furthermore, the processing is to transmit various pre-reading commands that are information (signals) related to the checked result to the sub integrated control apparatus 83.

  After the processing of S115, the process proceeds after the negative determination of S100 or after the positive determination of S105. In S120, the main control device 80 controls the game ball to the second starting opening 12 based on the detection signal of the second starting opening SW12a. Determine if a prize has occurred. Then, in the case of a positive determination (S120: Yes), the process proceeds to S125, and in the case of a negative determination (S120: No), the present process ends.

  In S125, main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of pending storages related to the second special symbol is the upper limit (4 as an example). Then, in the case of a negative determination (S125: No), the process proceeds to S130, and in the case of a positive determination (S125: Yes), the present process ends.

In S135, main controller 80 executes pre-reading determination processing for determining a value such as a jackpot determination random number corresponding to the pending storage related to the newly generated second special symbol, and ends this processing.
In the pre-reading determination process (S135) of the present embodiment, whether or not the stored numerical data has a content to be a big hit before execution of the success / failure determination process to be described later, that is, whether or not it matches a specific number. This is a process to confirm before the success / failure determination process described later.
Furthermore, the processing is to transmit various pre-reading commands that are information (signals) related to the checked result to the sub integrated control apparatus 83.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, S115 and S135 are provided as the unique pre-reading determination processing for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, respectively, but the common pre-reading determination at the end of this processing The process may be configured to be performed once.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the pending number command is transmitted in S110 and S130, and various prefetch commands are individually transmitted in S115 and SS135. However, the pending number command and the prefetch command are generated as one command. Alternatively, the transmission may be performed in a single transmission process. That is, different commands in S110 and S115 and different commands in S130 and S135 may be combined and transmitted as one combined command in S115 or S135.

(4) Pre-reading determination processing Next, regarding the pending storage pertaining to the newly generated first special symbol or second special symbol, pre-reading to determine whether or not it matches the value of the corresponding jackpot determination random number etc. The determination process will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is called from the start winning confirmation process.
In the present embodiment, the process shown in FIG. 9 is a common process executed in any of the above-described S115 and S135.

  In S150, main controller 80 determines whether or not the value of the newly generated big hit determination random number for pending storage relates to a specific value (value to be hit in big hit lottery), and a positive determination is obtained. (S150: Yes), the process proceeds to S155, and when a negative determination is obtained (S150: No), the process proceeds to S160.

  In S155, main controller 80 generates prefetch command 1 indicating that the value of the newly generated big hit determination random number for pending storage is the above-mentioned specific value, transmits it to sub integrated control device 83, and this processing Finish.

  On the other hand, in S160, main controller 80 determines whether or not the values of the random number for reach determination and the random numbers 1 and 2 for fluctuation pattern determination pertaining to the newly generated pending storage are specific values (values that become super reach by pseudo effect) If an affirmative determination is obtained (S160: Yes), the process proceeds to S165, and if a negative determination is obtained (S160: No), the process proceeds to S170.

On the other hand, in S180, main controller 80 determines that the newly generated random number for jackpot determination, random number for reach determination, or random number for fluctuation pattern determination 1 and 2 pertaining to pending storage is not any of the above specific values. The prefetch command 4 shown is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83, and this processing is ended.
Further, as another configuration, a plurality of lost symbols are also provided, rough fluctuation contents are designated in advance in the lost symbols, and a configuration is also conceivable in which a variation pattern is selected using a variation pattern determination random number. In this case, it is a random number for symbol determination, not a random number for jackpot symbol determination.
The rough fluctuation content is the fluctuation that loses without reaching, the fluctuation that loses after reaching, or the pseudo-continuous fluctuation (a fluctuation effect that makes it appear as if it fluctuated several times during one fluctuation) Information such as a change to Then, the rough fluctuation content is designated by the lost symbol (for example, in the case of reach loss, it is to be selected from a plurality of reach effects with a random number for fluctuation pattern determination), and thereby symbol information The sub integrated control device 83 can grasp the result of the pass / fail and the contents of the change only by sending the pre-read command by the pre-read command, and can decide whether or not to execute the pre-reading effect according to the contents.
The content to be determined in the pre-reading determination process is not particularly limited, and the main control device 80 may transmit data matching the content to be performed in the pre-reading effect.

(5) Regarding Pass / Fail Judgment Process Next, the pass / fail judgment process of performing a big hit lottery using the big hit determination random numbers stored as pending storage will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is a process executed from the main routine.

  First, with reference to FIG. 10, in S200, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric role is in operation, that is, a big hit game is being performed. Then, in the case of a positive determination (S200: Yes), the present process is ended, and in the case of a negative determination (S200: No), the process proceeds to S205.

  In S205, main controller 80 determines whether or not the variable display of the special figure (first special symbol or second special symbol) is being performed. Then, if the determination is affirmative (S205: Yes), the process proceeds to S280 in FIG. 12, and if the determination is negative (S205: No), the process proceeds to S210.

  At S210, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special display is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S210: Yes), the process proceeds to S290 in FIG. 13, and if the determination is negative (S210: No), the process proceeds to S215 in FIG.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 11, in S215, main controller 80 determines the presence or absence of pending storage related to the second special symbol, and in the case of a positive determination (S215: Yes), the process proceeds to S220, and negative In the case of determination (S215: No), the process proceeds to S380.

  In S220, main controller 80 decrements the number of pending storages pertaining to the second special symbol and selects the oldest pending storage pertaining to the second special symbol, and S230, S235, S245, S250, S255, which will be described later. In order to refer to S260, S265, etc., information stored in the pending storage (numerical data such as a random number value) is moved to a predetermined buffer for determining a big hit, and the process proceeds to S225.

  In the case of a negative determination in S215, in S380, main controller 80 determines the presence or absence of pending storage pertaining to the first special symbol, and in the case of a positive determination (S380: Yes), the process proceeds to S385. In the case of a negative determination (S380: No), this process ends.

  In S385, main controller 80 decrements the number of pending storages pertaining to the first special symbol, and selects the oldest pending storage pertaining to the first special symbol, and S230, S235, S245, S250, S255, which will be described later. In order to refer to S260, S265, etc., information stored in the pending storage (numerical data such as a random number value) is moved to a predetermined buffer for determining a big hit, and the process proceeds to S225.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when there is a pending storage associated with the second special symbol, the processing is performed prior to the first special symbol.

  In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability change flag indicating that it is the probability change mode is 1, and in the case of a positive determination (S225: Yes), the process proceeds to S230, and a negative determination is made. In the case (S225: No), the process proceeds to S235.

  In S230, main control device 80 executes a big hit lottery based on the random number for big hit determination according to the selected pending storage and the success / failure determination table (probable change table) corresponding to the positive variation mode, and whether or not to hit the lottery Determine whether or not the pending memory is digested. Then, the process proceeds to S240.

On the other hand, in S235, main controller 80 executes a big hit lottery based on the random number for big hit determination related to the selected pending storage and the hit / not determination table (normal table) corresponding to the normal mode, and hits the lottery It is determined whether or not to reserve the pending memory. Then, the process proceeds to S240.
As described above, S230 and S235 of the present embodiment are processes for executing a hit / fail determination of whether to generate a big hit game, ie, a big hit determination, based on the numerical data stored in S110 or S130 of the start winning confirmation process. is there.

In S240, main controller 80 refers to the determination result in S230 or S235 to determine whether or not a big hit lottery is hit, and in the case of a positive determination (S240: Yes), the process proceeds to S245. When the determination is negative (S240: No), the process proceeds to S260.
In addition, in the structure provided with two or more lost symbols mentioned above, it may be comprised so that a lost symbol determination process may be performed in said S260 which transfers at the time of negative determination by S240.

  In S245, main controller 80 determines the number of rounds and the like of the jackpot game predetermined corresponding to the jackpot symbol by determining the jackpot symbol based on the random number for jackpot design determination pertaining to the saved storage that has been digested . Then, the process proceeds to S250.

  In S250, main controller 80 determines a variation pattern type including information such as a variation time of a special symbol based on the variation pattern determination random number and the like related to the reserved storage that has been digested, and shifts the processing to S255.

  In S255, main controller 80 executes "big hit setting processing" to set the number of rounds of big hit game, opening pattern of big winning opening, presentation time for big hit game, interval time, and production mode of big hit game, etc. , S270.

  In the "big hit setting process" (S255) of the present embodiment, the interval time (between round intervals, big hit end interval time, etc.) during the big hit is set as described above. In particular, as a module for setting the time related to the big hit end interval (which may be simply referred to as the finish interval) to be carried out at the end time of the big hit gaming state, namely the big hit end interval time, "big hit end interval time setting process It has one. Since the process is an essential part of the present invention, the process flow diagram (FIG. 14) will be described later in detail.

  In the "big hit end interval time setting process 1" of this embodiment, the big hit end interval time is determined based on the type of gaming state when the hit or not determination of the hit which is the trigger of the big hit is executed. It is characterized by

On the other hand, in S260, in which the process proceeds when a negative determination is obtained in S240 (that is, the process proceeds when a big hit lottery is removed), the main control device 80 determines the variation pattern determination random number etc. , The variation time etc. of the special symbol are determined, and the process proceeds to S265.
In the present embodiment, in S260, the fluctuation pattern (variation time) related to the reserved storage at the time of losing is determined, and prior to this, processing for determining the lost symbol is performed. Without being limited to this configuration, a process of determining a lost symbol may be provided before execution of S260. Thereby, if it is a structure provided with two or more lost symbols mentioned above, a suitable control process can be performed.
As described above, S245 and S260 are processing for determining the special symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the big hit symbol or the lost symbol, based on the determination result of whether or not to be a big hit.

  In S265, main controller 80 can be executed during the time reduction mode or a counter indicating the number of remaining big hit lotterys that can be performed during the probability variation mode (in the present embodiment, 10000 variation (so-called, next variation) probability variation period). The counter indicating the remaining number of the big hit lottery is updated and the processing is shifted to S270.

  In S270, main controller 80 transmits a pending number command indicating the number of pending storages decremented in S220 described above to sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S275.

In S275, main controller 80 transmits a variation start command indicating the variation time of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), the result of the big hit lottery, etc. to sub integrated control device 83, and The fluctuation is started and this processing is ended.
That is, in S275, the variation pattern signal (command) indicating the type of variation pattern determined in S250 or S260 is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83.

In addition, the sub integrated control device 83 which received the change start command (also referred to as a special figure change start command) is the same time as the change time of the special symbol based on the change time of the special symbol as a result of the big hit lottery. From among the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b to select the pseudo effect (variation effect) to be displayed, and has the "variation start process" (not shown) to start the display of the selected pseudo effect .
In addition, with the fluctuation start command, the reserve memory digested by the big hit lottery is generated by the winning of the first starting opening 11 or by the winning of the second starting opening 12 Indicates whether there is.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 12, in S280, in which the special display (first special symbol or second special symbol) transitions during variation display, the main control device 80 changes the special figure (first special symbol or second special symbol) It is determined whether the time has elapsed, and if the determination is affirmative (S280: Yes), the process proceeds to S285, and if the determination is negative (S280: No), the process ends.

In S285, main controller 80 ends the variable display of the special figure (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), and the final symbol of the special figure (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), that is, S245 described above Alternatively, the big hit symbol or lost symbol determined in S260 is displayed, and a symbol determination command for causing the sub integrated control device 83 to perform final display of the effect symbol is transmitted, and this processing is ended.
As described above, S285 is a process of displaying a big hit symbol or a lost symbol relating to the special symbol determined based on the determination result of whether or not to make a big hit. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the symbol determination command displays the result of the acceptance lottery by performing the pseudo determination display as described above by the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special symbol.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 13, in S290, in which the special display (first special symbol or second special symbol) is transitioned to a final display, the main controller 80 determines the special image (first special symbol or second special symbol). It is determined whether the duration of display has ended. Then, if the determination is affirmative (S290: Yes), the process proceeds to S295, and if the determination is negative (S290: No), the process ends.

In S295, main controller 80 ends the finalized display of the special figure (first special symbol or second special symbol), and shifts the processing to S300.
In S300, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special view (first special symbol or second special symbol) displayed in a definite manner is a big hit, that is, whether it is a big hit symbol or not. If the determination is affirmative (S300: Yes), the process proceeds to S305, and if the determination is negative (S300: No), the process proceeds to S340.

  In S305, main controller 80 refers to the probability change flag indicating that it is the probability change mode, and clears the probability change flag if the probability change flag is 1 (S310), and then shifts the processing to S315.

  In S315, the main control unit 80 refers to the short time flag indicating that the short time mode is set, and clears the short time flag if the time short flag is 1 (S320), and then shifts the processing to S325.

  Then, the main controller 80 executes the condition device operation start process (S325), the character continuous operation device operation start process (S330), and the big hit start effect process (S335) sequentially, thereby indicating a mode of the big hit game. Or, a command to instruct the start of the big hit game is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 or the like to start the big hit game, and the present processing is ended.

  On the other hand, main controller 80 refers to the probability change flag in S340, which is shifted when a negative determination is obtained in S300, and shifts the processing to S345 when the flag is 1 (S340: Yes). If the probability change flag is not 1 (S340: No), the process proceeds to S355.

As described above, the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is configured as a so-called "probable loop machine". However, the configuration is the same as that of the ST machine (count cut probability change machine) in which the number of times of fluctuation display in which the probability change state is maintained is very large, such as 10000 times. That is, the state in which the probability change flag is set to 1 means during the ST period, and the predetermined fluctuation number (for example, 10000 times) ends after the ST period becomes a big hit with the probability change symbol In the time period until, the probability of winning lottery whether or not to be a big hit fluctuated (probability fluctuation, definite change) to a high probability higher than the low probability in the normal gaming state.
Moreover, the pachinko machine 50 is equipped with a probability change counter. The probability variation counter is a counter in which a counter value (for example, 10000) corresponding to a predetermined number of variations (for example, 10000) which is an ST period is set at the start of the ST period, and is decremented each time variation ends. The ST period ends when the probability change counter becomes zero.
However, since the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment has 10000 probability change periods set, it becomes a big hit with a high probability during this period, so it is extremely rare to digest the probability change period (ST period) is there. Therefore, it can be said that, in the present embodiment, when it becomes a probability variation big hit, a configuration that the probability variation state is maintained until the next big hit.

In S345, main controller 80 refers to the count value of the probability variation counter decremented in S265 described above and determines whether or not the probability variation counter has become 0, that is, a big hit lottery that can be executed in the probability variation mode It is judged whether or not the remaining number of times (the number of positive variations) disappears, and when it becomes 0 (S345: Yes), the process proceeds to S350, and when it is not 0 (S345: No), S355 Transfer the process to
In S350, main controller 80 sets the probability change flag to 0, and shifts the processing to S355.

  In S355, main controller 80 refers to the time saving flag, and when the flag is 1 (S355: Yes), the process proceeds to S360, and when the time saving flag is not 1 (S355: No) ), Shift the processing to S370.

  In the present embodiment, when replacing the definite change flag 1 with 0 in S310, and replacing the short time flag 1 with 0 in S320, the information is stored in the predetermined probability change flag buffer and the predetermined short time flag buffer. Do. As will be described later, when determining the gaming state (positive or negative, or normal) after the end of the jackpot gaming state at the end of the jackpot gaming state, the information stored in the "probability changing flag buffer" and the "temporary flag buffer" refer.

Note that the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is configured to generate a time saving state in response to the above-described probability variation period (ST period). That is, during the definite change state (during the ST period), the short time state is attained. In addition to the above probability change flag, a state with a short time flag and 1 set to the short time flag means that the time is short and during the ST period, and the short time period is a big hit with a probability change symbol In the period until the predetermined number of times of fluctuation (for example, 10000 times) ends, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time of the normal motorized combination is longer than the normal time.
Moreover, the pachinko machine 50 is provided with a time saving counter separately from the above-mentioned definite variation counter. In the time saving counter, a counter value (for example, 100 or 10000) corresponding to a predetermined number of changes (for example, 100 times or 10000 times) which is a time saving state is set at the start of the time saving state and is decremented each time the fluctuation ends. It is a counter. The time saving state ends when the time saving counter becomes zero.
Although not shown, main controller 80 is provided with an “open extension control process” that extends the open time of the ordinary motor-operated part based on the short time flag being 1.

In S360, main controller 80 determines whether or not the time saving counter has become 0 with reference to the count value of the time counter when the decrement process has been performed in S265 described above. (S360: Yes), the process proceeds to S365, and when it is not 0 (S360: No), the process proceeds to S370.
In S365, main controller 80 sets the time saving flag to 0, and shifts the processing to S370.

  In S370, main controller 80 executes a state designation command transmission process, and ends this process.

(6) About the big hit end interval time setting processing 1 Next, “big hit end interval time setting processing 1” which is the main part of the present invention will be described using the flowchart of FIG. As described above, this process is a subroutine called from the "big hit setting process" (S255) of the success / failure determination process (FIG. 11).

  First, as shown in FIG. 14, in S600, main controller 80 determines whether or not the current gaming state, that is, the current gaming state in which the jackpot determination of the big hit has been performed, is a definite change state. When the determination is affirmative (S600: Yes), the process proceeds to S605, and when the determination is negative (S600: No), the process proceeds to S620.

  In S605, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot judgment of the current big hit is made based on the probability symbol, that is, when the jackpot judgment is made and the jackpot symbol is selected, the first special If it is a symbol, it is "special figure 1-pattern 1" or "special figure 1-pattern 2", and if it is the second special symbol, whether any of "special figure 2-pattern 1" is selected, To determine More specifically, it is determined whether to shift to a definite change state after the big hit game. When the determination is affirmative (S605: Yes), the process proceeds to S610, and when the determination is negative (S605: No), the process proceeds to S625.

That is, in S605, it is determined whether or not a state in which positive changes occur in succession occurs by the present jackpot determination. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is configured to be located at the specific arrangement position, ie, the second initial position, in the positive variation state during the positive variation state. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the positive variation occurs again by the current big hit, and the sub effect design display device 6b located at the second initial position is moved from the second initial position to another position, for example, normal It is determined whether there is no need to displace the first initial position, which is a unique arrangement position in the state. In other words, it is determined whether there is no need to move the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by performing such a determination process of S605, it is possible to set the big hit end interval time corresponding to the state change when it is necessary to displace the sub rendering symbol display device 6b. It is done.

  At S620, as with S605, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot decision of this time is made based on the probability symbol, that is, the jackpot decision is made and the jackpot symbol is selected. In this case, if it is the first special symbol, then either “Special figure 1 – pattern 1” or “Special figure 1 – pattern 2”, and if it is the second special symbol, any one of “special figure 2 – pattern 1” is selected It is determined whether it has been done or not. More specifically, it is determined whether to shift to a definite change state after the big hit game. When the determination is affirmative (S620: Yes), the process proceeds to S625, and when the determination is negative (S620: No), the process proceeds to S610.

  That is, in S620, which is shifted during the gaming state which is not a definite variation time, it is determined whether or not the first hit to shift from the normal condition to the definite variation state occurs by the present big hit determination. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is configured to be located at the specific arrangement position, ie, the second initial position, in the positive variation state during the positive variation state. Therefore, by determining whether or not the first hit to shift to a definite change state is generated by the present big hit, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b located at the first initial position is displaced to the second initial position It is determined whether there is a need. In other words, it is determined whether it is necessary to move the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the first initial position to the second initial position.

  In S610, the main control unit 80 sets a relatively short time of 2.9 seconds as the big hit end interval time of the present big hit game (see FIG. 6). If you do not have to move the sub effect design display device 6b from the second initial position, or if you do not need to move the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position In S610, which is performed when there is no need to move from the initial position, it is configured that a meaninglessly long time is not selected as the big hit end interval time.

  In S625, the main control device 80 sets 6.0 seconds, which is a relatively long time, as a big hit end interval time of the present big hit game (see FIG. 6). If you become a big hit in the normal symbol during the definite variation, if you move the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position to the first initial position, or if it is a big hit in the probability variation symbol during the normal, the sub effect symbol display device 6b In S625, which is transitioned to when moving from the first initial position to the second initial position, a sufficiently long long time is selected as the big hit end interval time. In addition, it is a required time to displace the sub rendering symbol display device 6b from the first initial position to the second initial position or from the second initial position to the first initial position with a sufficiently long time. Means a time longer than time. The path connecting the first initial position and the second initial position corresponds to the “displacement track” of the above-described embodiment. The length of the "displacement track" is the longest distance among the displaceable routes of the sub rendering symbol display 6b. The 6.0 seconds as the big hit end interval time is set to be longer than the time required for the sub rendering symbol display device 6b to displace the "displacement track". The required time for the sub rendering symbol display device 6b to displace the "displacement track" is, for example, 5.0 seconds in the present embodiment. Therefore, after the displacement is completed, it is configured to have an additional 1.0 second before the big hit end interval time expires. By this, it is possible for the sub effect symbol display device 6b to complete movement to a specific initial position corresponding to the new gaming state with ample time before a new gaming state to shift after a big hit game is started. It has become.

  In S615, main controller 80 displays a command indicating the big hit end interval time of the current big hit game set in S610 or S625, a command indicating the type of gaming state to be shifted after the big hit, etc. To the end of the process.

  When the sub integrated control unit 83 receives a command indicating the big hit end interval time from the main control unit 80, it creates time data based on the command, and the time data is stored in a predetermined "big hit end interval information storage buffer" Store and save until the big hit end interval is executed. In the "big hit end interval information storage buffer", gaming state type data indicating the type of gaming state to be shifted after the big hit game is also stored.

(7) About the big hit game processing Next, the big hit game processing which controls the progress of the big hit game, is explained making use of the flowchart in Figure 15-Figure 17. This process is a process executed from the main routine.

  In S400 shown in FIG. 15, the main control device 80 determines whether or not a big hit game is being performed during operation of the bonus continuous operation device. When the determination is affirmative (S400: Yes), the process proceeds to S405, and when the determination is negative (S400: No), the process ends.

  In S405, main controller 80 determines whether or not special winning opening 14 is open, and in the case of a positive determination (S405: Yes), the process proceeds to S430 in FIG. 16 and a negative determination is made. In the case of (S405: No), the process proceeds to S410.

  In S410, main control device 80 determines whether or not it is in the interval of each round in the big hit game, and in the case of affirmation determination (S410: Yes), while shifting the processing to S450 of FIG. In the case of determination (S410: No), the process proceeds to S415.

  In S415, the main control unit 80 determines whether or not the jackpot game end effect is in progress, and in the case of a positive determination (S415: Yes), the process proceeds to S470 of FIG. 17 and a negative determination is made. In the case (S415: No), the process proceeds to S420.

  In S420, main controller 80 determines whether or not the start effect time in the big hit game has passed, and in the case of a positive determination (S420: Yes), the processing is shifted to S425, and in the case of a negative determination. (S420: No), this process ends.

  In addition, the above-mentioned big hit start production of this embodiment is equivalent to a big hit start interval. Moreover, it mentions later. Therefore, in the big hit game of this embodiment, it is provided with the big hit start interval and the big hit end interval.

In S425, main controller 80 executes a special winning opening opening process for opening special winning opening 14, and ends this process.
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 16, in S430, which proceeds while the big winning opening 14 is opened, the main control device 80 determines whether the number of gaming balls that have won in the big winning opening 14 has become ten. When the determination is affirmative (S430: Yes), the process proceeds to S440, and when the determination is negative (S430: No), the process proceeds to S435.

  In S435, main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of special winning opening 14 has ended, and in the case of a positive determination (S435: Yes), the process proceeds to S440, and in the case of a negative determination. (S435: No), this process ends.

In S440, main controller 80 executes a special winning opening closing process for closing special winning opening 14, and shifts the process to S445.
In S445, the main control device 80 executes a big hit interval process for setting an interval of each round of the big hit game, and ends this process.

  In the big hit interval processing of S445, an inter-round interval between each round is set. In this embodiment, the inter-round interval is configured to occur immediately after the final round. That is, when the final round ends, the next round does not occur, but the inter-round interval occurs, and when the inter-round interval ends, the big hit end interval is subsequently started. The configuration will be described in detail later. In the present embodiment, the interval between rounds is set to 2.0 seconds in any round, for example.

  On the other hand, in S450, which is shifted during the interval of each round, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the inter-round interval time of the big hit game has elapsed, and in the case of a positive determination (S450: Yes), to S455. The process proceeds, and in the case of a negative determination (S450: No), this process ends.

  In S455, main controller 80 determines whether or not the round immediately before the inter-round interval determined that time has elapsed in S450 is the final round of the big hit game, and in the case of a positive determination (S455: Yes The process proceeds to S460, and in the case of a negative determination (S455: No), the process proceeds to S465.

In S460, the main control device 80 executes the effect when ending the big hit game, that is, the big hit end effect processing that performs the big hit end interval, and ends this processing.
On the other hand, in S465, main controller 80 executes the special winning opening opening processing for opening special winning opening 14, and ends this processing.

  When S460 is executed, the main control device 80 first performs setting relating to the big hit end interval time. In that case, the time set in the "big hit end interval time setting process 1" (see FIG. 14) is referred to, and this time is set as the current big hit end interval time. Next, the main control unit 80 transmits, to the sub integrated control unit 83, a "big hit end interval start command" for executing a big hit end effect, that is, a big hit end interval. Although it will be described later, when the sub integrated control device 83 receives the "big hit end interval start command", the sub integrated control device 83 performs the displacement control when it is necessary to displace the sub rendering symbol display device 6b toward a predetermined arrangement position. . Further, in conjunction with this, effect display control is performed by the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b in the big hit end interval processing.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 17, in S470, which transitions during the big hit game's ending effect, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the time of the ending effect is over, and in the case of a positive determination (S470: Yes) The process proceeds to S475, and in the case of a negative determination (S470: No), this process ends.

In subsequent S475 and S480, the main control device 80 stops the commodity continuous actuation device and the condition device, and shifts the processing to S485.
In S485, main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to the definite change mode after the big hit game, that is, whether to shift to the ST period, and in the case of a positive determination (S485: Yes), in the definite change mode The counter value corresponding to the number of jackpot lottery numbers that can be executed (for example, 10000 times as the number of probability variations (ST number)) is set in the probability variation counter (S490), and 1 is set in the probability variation flag (S495), S500 Transfer the process to

  In S500, main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to the time saving mode after a big hit game, and in the case of a positive determination (S500: Yes), the number of times of big hit lottery that can be executed during time saving mode A counter value corresponding to the open extension) number of times, for example, 100 times or 10000 times, is set in the time saving counter (S505), and 1 is set in the time saving flag (S510), and the process proceeds to S515.

  In S485 of this embodiment, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probability variation mode after the big hit game by referring to the information stored in the probability variation flag buffer. Also, in S500, with reference to the information stored in the time saving flag buffer, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probability change mode after the big hit game.

  In S515 and S520, main control device 80 executes processing of transmitting a big hit end command for ending the effect on the big hit game to sub integrated control device 83, and state designation command transmission processing, and ends this processing. .

(8) Sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1 Next, sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1 which is an essential part of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In S700 shown in FIG. 18, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the "big hit end interval start command" has been received from the main control apparatus 80. When the determination is affirmative (S700: Yes), the process proceeds to S705, and when the determination is negative (S700: No), the process ends. The "big hit end interval start command" is transmitted when the big hit end effect, ie, the big hit end interval is started, at S460 of the "big hit gaming process" (FIG. 16) of the above-mentioned main controller 80. It is.

  In S705, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 shifts the processing to S710 with reference to the "big hit end interval information storage buffer". As described above, the "big hit end interval information storage buffer" stores time data indicating the big hit end interval time, gaming state type data indicating the type of gaming state to be shifted after the big hit game, and the like. With reference to the stored data, conditions such as whether to shift to a definite change state after a big hit game or which long or short time is set in the big hit end interval time are determined and the following processing is performed .

  In S710, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not to shift to the positive change state after the end of the current big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S710: Yes), the process proceeds to S715. If the determination is negative (S710: No), the process proceeds to S730.

  In S715, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether the second initial position sensor 93b is not detected. That is, it is determined whether or not the sub effect design display device 6b is not arranged at the second initial position which is a predetermined arrangement position in the positive variation state. When the determination is affirmative (S715: Yes), the process proceeds to S720, and when the determination is negative (S715: No), the process ends.

  The state of affirmation determination in S715 is, for example, that the success or failure judgment of the big hit that caused the big hit of this time occurred in the normal state, so the sub effect symbol display device 6b is the first initial position which is a predetermined arrangement position in the normal state. It is assumed that it is arranged at the position and needs to be displaced to the second term position which is the arrangement position of the positive change state after the big hit game. In addition, the state of affirmation determination in S 715 is also when the sub effect design display device 6b is not in any of the first initial position and the second initial position, that is, in any position of "displacement track". is assumed.

  The state of negative determination in S 715 is, for example, that the success or failure judgment of the big hit that caused the big hit of this time occurred at the time of definite change state (continuous change occurrence of positive change), the sub effect design display device 6b is already predetermined in the positive change state It is arrange | positioned in the 2nd initial position which is an arrangement position of, and the state which does not need to displace after a big hit game is assumed.

  In S720, the sub integrated control device 83 performs control processing to displace the sub rendering symbol display device 6b toward the second initial position by driving and controlling the sub rendering symbol display device driving motor 92.

  At S725, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether the second initial position sensor 93b has detected the sub rendering symbol display device 6b. If the determination is affirmative (S725: Yes), the process ends, and if the determination is negative (S725: No), the process proceeds to S720 again. That is, the displacement control toward the second initial position of S720 is continued until the second initial position sensor 93b is in the detection state.

  In the case where S720 is executed, since the big hit end interval time is set to 6.0 seconds with a sufficient margin for the displacement to be completed, for example, from the first initial position to the second initial position Can be completed during the big hit end interval, and then wait until a newly generated probability change state.

  In S730, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the first initial position sensor 93a is not detected. That is, it is determined whether or not the sub effect symbol display device 6b is not arranged at the first initial position which is the predetermined arrangement position in the normal state. If the determination is affirmative (S730: Yes), the process proceeds to S735. If the determination is negative (S730: No), the process ends.

  The state of affirmation determination in S730 is, for example, that the success or failure judgment of the big hit that caused the big hit of this time occurred at the time of definite variation state, so the sub effect symbol display device 6b is the second initial position which is a predetermined arrangement position in the positive variation state It is assumed that it is arranged at the position and needs to be displaced to the first period position which is the arrangement position of the normal state after the big hit game. In addition, the state of affirmation determination in S730 is also when the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is not in any of the first initial position and the second initial position, that is, in any position of "displacement track". is assumed.

  The state of negative determination in S730 is, for example, that the success or failure judgment of the big hit that caused the big hit of this time occurred in the normal state (failure of probability change entry), the sub effect design display device 6b is already predetermined in the normal state. It is arranged at the 1st initial position which is an arrangement position, and the state which does not need to be displaced after a big hit game is assumed.

  In S735, the sub integrated control device 83 executes control processing for displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b toward the first initial position by drivingly controlling the sub effect symbol display device drive motor 92, and the process is performed in S740. Migrate

  In S740, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether the first initial position sensor 93a has detected the sub effect symbol display device 6b. If the determination is affirmative (S740: Yes), the process ends, and if the determination is negative (S740: No), the process proceeds to S735 again. That is, the displacement control toward the first initial position in S735 is continued until the first initial position sensor 93a is in the detection state.

  In the case where S 735 is executed, since the big hit end interval time is set to 6.0 seconds which has a sufficient margin for the displacement to be completed, for example, from the second initial position to the first initial position Can be completed during the big hit end interval, and then wait until the newly generated normal condition.

  In the present embodiment, the sub effect symbol display device 6 b can be displaced by such “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1”. Next, displacement processing of the sub rendering symbol display device 6b by such control processing will be described in further detail with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. 19 and 20 and the displacement mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 21 and 22. To be.

(9) In the case of a big hit with the odd symbol during the normal gaming state In the present embodiment, the detailed description of the case of the positive variation big hit during the normal gaming state, and the timing chart of FIG. This will be described with reference to the display mode example of and the displacement mode example of the sub liquid crystal.

  First, as shown in FIG. 19, in the normal time (when the probability change flag is set to 0), when a big hit is made with a definite variation symbol (for example, special figure 1-symbol 1; see FIG. 6), the big hit At the start of the special figure variation, which is "big hit end interval time setting process 1" (Fig. 14), a negative decision is made at S600, an affirmative decision is made at S620, and 6.0 seconds is set as the big hit finish interval time at S625 that follows. Ru.

  The condition device and the feature continuous operation device are activated, and a big hit game is started. In this case, when S460 of the "big hit gaming process" (FIG. 16) is executed when the final round 15 ends, the main control device 80 instructs the sub integrated control device 83 to execute the "big hit end interval start command". And the big hit end interval of 6.0 seconds is started.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), the sub effect design display device 6b is disposed at the first initial position because the success or failure judgment that is the trigger of the current big hit has occurred at a normal time. On the main effect symbol display device 6a, effect display is executed to the effect that preparation for shifting to the probability variation gaming state is started after the big hit game is over.

  When the sub integrated control apparatus 83 receives the "big hit end interval start command", the sub integrated control apparatus 83 starts executing "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1". In this case, since the jackpot with a probability change symbol and the sub effect symbol display device 6b is disposed at the first initial position, S720 is continuously executed until an affirmative determination is made in S725. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19, the drive control of the sub rendering symbol display device drive motor (described as a sub liquid crystal drive motor in FIG. 19) 92 is continued until the second initial position sensor 93 b is in the detection state. To complete the displacement (movement). When such control is performed, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the sub effect symbol display device 6b starts displacement from the first initial position, and turns the upper portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a to the right. Once displaced, then the right side of the main effect symbol display device 6a is lowered, and the lower portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a is further displaced to the left rear, that is, following the "displacement trajectory" described above, the second initial stage Move to the position. As shown in FIG. 19, when the second initial position sensor 93b is in the detection state and the displacement is completed, a notification display indicating that the displacement in the end interval is completed is performed. In the present embodiment, it is configured to require 5.0 seconds for the displacement, and after the displacement is completed, until the end interval shown in FIG. It is set to leave the remaining time of 0 seconds. As shown in FIG. 21 (d), when the end interval ends and shifts to the next game state, the probability change state, in the sub effect symbol display device 6b located at the second initial position, the effect unique to the probability change state is It is started. In this way, the sub rendering effect display device 6b completes the displacement to the second initial position before the end interval time expires, so that the displacement is not completed even if the next positive change state is started. It is surely prevented.

(10) In the case of a big hit with a normal symbol during the odd change gaming state In the present embodiment, the detailed description of the normal big hit during the odd change gaming state will be described below with reference to the timing chart of FIG. This will be described with reference to the display mode example of and the displacement mode example of the sub liquid crystal.

  First, as shown in FIG. 20, when a big hit is made with a normal symbol (for example, special figure 2-symbol 2; see FIG. 6) at the time of positive variation (when positive variation flag is set to 1). At the start of the special figure variation, which is in the "big hit end interval time setting process 1" (Fig. 14), an affirmative determination is made in S600, a negative determination in S605, and 6.0 seconds as a big hit end interval time is set in S625 that follows. Ru.

  The condition device and the feature continuous operation device are activated, and a big hit game is started. In this case, when S460 of the "big hit gaming process" (FIG. 16) is executed when the final round 15 ends, the main control device 80 instructs the sub integrated control device 83 to execute the "big hit end interval start command". And the big hit end interval of 6.0 seconds is started.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 22 (a), the sub effect design display device 6b is disposed at the second initial position because the success or failure judgment that is the trigger of the current big hit has occurred at a definite change. On the main effect symbol display device 6a, effect display is executed to the effect that preparation for shifting to the normal game state is started after the big hit game is over.

  When the sub integrated control apparatus 83 receives the "big hit end interval start command", the sub integrated control apparatus 83 starts executing "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1". In this case, since the big hit with the normal symbol and the sub effect symbol display device 6b is disposed at the second initial position, S735 is continuously executed until an affirmative determination is made in S740. At this time, as shown in FIG. 20, drive control of the sub rendering symbol display device drive motor (described as a sub liquid crystal drive motor in FIG. 20) 92 is continued until the first initial position sensor 93a is in the detection state. To complete the displacement (movement). When such control is performed, as shown in FIG. 22 (b), the sub effect symbol display device 6b starts displacement from the second initial position and turns the lower portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a to the right. Once displaced, then the right side of the main effect symbol display device 6a is raised, and the upper portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a is further displaced to the left rear, that is, following the "displacement trajectory" described above, the first initial stage Move to the position. As shown in FIG. 20, when the first initial position sensor 93a is in the detection state and the displacement is completed, a notification display indicating that the displacement in the end interval is completed is performed. In the present embodiment, it is configured to require 5.0 seconds for the displacement, and after the displacement is completed, until the end interval shown in FIG. It is set to leave the remaining time of 0 seconds. As shown in FIG. 22 (d), when the end interval ends and shifts to the normal state, which is the next gaming state, in the sub effect symbol display device 6b located at the first initial position, the effect unique to the normal state is It is started. In this way, by the sub rendering effect display device 6b completing the displacement to the first initial position before the end interval time expires, the next normal state is already started, but in the normal gaming state A state in which the displacement to the corresponding initial position has not been completed, that is, a failure state in which the game state and the initial position are not aligned, is reliably prevented.

  In addition, according to the configuration of the present embodiment as described above, when there is a need to change the initial position according to the sub effect symbol display device 6b, in the final stage within the multi-tiered state of the big hit gaming state It is configured to complete the displacement process to the new initial position at the corresponding big hit end interval. As a result, during the big hit game, a rendering effect that can be produced by being placed at a position before shifting to a new initial position will be played until the execution of the big hit end interval of the final stage of the big hit game. Therefore, during the big hit game, the effect can be sufficiently exhibited.

  Further, according to the configuration of the present embodiment as described above, when there is no need to change the initial position according to the sub effect symbol display device 6b, a relatively short interval time is selected and set as the big hit end interval time. By doing this, it is configured that long time is not set meaninglessly. Therefore, if the big hit end interval is executed under the conditions, the big hit game can be ended promptly and the transition to the next game state can be performed, and the player is not forced to wait for an unnecessary waiting time. Therefore, with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of interest by delaying the waiting time of the final stage of the big hit game.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the big hit end interval time in the "big hit end interval time setting process 2" to be described later, the type of special symbol when the hit or not determination of the hit that became the trigger of the big hit is executed (the second symbol One of the features is a point to be determined based on (1) which one of the special drawing and the second special drawing. In this respect, the first with the "big hit end interval time setting process 1" to determine the big hit end interval time based on the type of gaming state when the hit or not determination of the hit that became the trigger of the big hit is executed It differs from the embodiment. Therefore, FIG. 23, FIG. 24, FIG. 25 and FIG. 26 are shown instead of FIG. 6, FIG. 11, FIG. 13 and FIG. Explain. In addition, about the other description, the description based on FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, FIG. 12 and FIG. 15 to FIG.

(1) About distribution at the time of the big hit of the 1st and 2nd special symbols First, distribution configuration at the time of the big hit of the 1st and 2nd special symbols of this embodiment is explained with reference to FIG.
Fig.23 (a) shows distribution configuration at the time of big hit of a 1st special symbol, and FIG.23 (b) shows distribution configuration at the time of big hit of a 2nd special symbol.
In addition, about "certain change function" and "open extension function", "special figure 1-pattern 1" and "special figure 1-pattern 2" of the first special symbol, "special figure 2-symbol of the second special symbol" With regard to 1 ′ ′, in the first embodiment, “10000 times” is set as “100 times” in the first embodiment. That is, in this embodiment, it is configured as a general so-called ST machine (in the first embodiment, as described above, even if it is the truncating probability variation, it is actually set to 10000 times. It was configured as a probability change loop machine that would maintain a definite change until the next big hit).
And since it is the same as that of FIG. 6 of the first embodiment about the setting contents of the remaining "type of hit symbol", "distribution ratio", "big hit round" and "transition state", the description thereof is used The setting contents of the "end interval time" which is omitted here and which is different from Fig. 6 will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (a), in the first special symbol, the symbol when the jackpot is hit is a symbol that is a probability variation ("special figure 1-pattern 1" and "special figure 1-pattern 2") 6 and any of the normal symbols ("special figure 1-pattern 3" to "special figure 1-pattern 6") regardless of this, that is, if it is the first special symbol, as a big hit end interval time, 6. It is set to select 0 seconds.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), in the second special symbol, it is set that 2.9 seconds is selected as the big hit end interval time in principle. That is, 2.9 seconds are selected when a probability variation symbol ("special figure 2-design 1") is selected and it becomes a big hit. However, except when the symbol is odd, that is, when the normal symbol ("Special figure 2-pattern 2 or special figure 2-pattern 3") is selected to be a big hit exceptionally, as a big hit end interval time, 6.0 The second is set to be selected.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, in principle, different big hit end interval time types according to the type of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) when it becomes the big hit in the lottery It is configured to select and determine (2.9 seconds or 6.0 seconds).

  Describing in detail, when the special symbol when becoming a big hit in the lottery in principle is the first special symbol, 6.0 seconds which is a relatively long jackpot end interval time is selected . On the other hand, when the special symbol at the time of the big hit in the lottery in principle is the second special symbol, 2.9 seconds, which is a relatively short jackpot end interval time, is selected, When a big hit is made exceptionally with a non-probable variation symbol ("special figure 2-pattern 2 or special figure 2-pattern 3"), 6.0 seconds which is the big hit end interval time of relatively long time is selected.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the case where the special symbol when becoming a big hit by the lottery in principle is the first special symbol, it is a relatively long jackpot end interval time. 0 seconds is selected. In the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment, as in a general game machine, the first special symbol is mainly configured to be highly likely to be variably displayed during normal. Therefore, when it changes to a definite change state after a big hit game with a big hit in the normal state by setting it as the composition concerned, that is, it shifts the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the first initial position to the second initial position. In this case, by selecting 6.0 seconds which is a relatively long big hit end interval time, it is possible to reliably complete the displacement before the occurrence of the probability change state. In addition, since it is not necessary to displace when there is a big hit with a normal symbol, a problem like the case where a probability change symbol is selected does not occur, and a standby time is sufficiently secured.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the special symbol when becoming a big hit by the lottery in principle is the second special symbol, it takes 2.9 seconds which is a relatively short-term big hit end interval time. Is selected. In the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment, the second special symbol is configured to be highly likely to be variably displayed during positive variation (a state where the open extension function operates at the same time) as in a general gaming machine. It is done. Therefore, when it changes to a definite change state (a positive change continues in a row) after a big hit with a big change game and a big hit game at the time of a certain change state by setting it as the composition concerned, that is, sub effect symbol display device 6b, the 2nd When not being displaced from the initial position, 2.9 seconds which is a relatively short big hit end interval time is selected, so that the deterioration of the interest can be prevented without prolonging the probability change state where the interest is rising. Can. Exceptionally, when a big hit with a normal symbol, 6.0 seconds which is a big hit end interval time of a relatively long time is selected. As a result, when the probability change state ends, and a transition to a normal state occurs after a big hit, that is, when displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position to the first initial position, the big hit for a relatively long time By selecting 6.0 seconds as the end interval time, it is possible to reliably complete the displacement before the normal state occurs.

  As described above, also in the present embodiment, the predetermined arrangement position of the sub effect symbol display device 6b differs depending on the gaming state. That is, it is configured to be disposed at the first initial position (see FIG. 32 (f)) at normal times, but disposed at the second initial position (see FIG. 32 (a)) at the time of positive variation. In the present embodiment, on the premise of such a configuration, as the gaming state changes, it has a configuration in which it is displaced to the corresponding initial position with sufficient time until the change is completed. There is.

  That is, if the gaming state before and after the big hit game is the same, the sub effect symbol display device 6b does not have to make a displacement from one initial position to the other initial position, so the jackpot ends in a relatively short time 2.9 seconds is selected as the interval time. That is, for example, by hitting with the special figure 2-pattern 1 of the second special figure during the probability variation gaming state, it does not move from the second initial position by changing from the probability variation gaming state to the probability variation gaming state If this is the case.

  On the other hand, if the gaming state before and after the big hit game is different, the sub effect symbol display device 6b has to shift from one initial position to the other initial position, so it takes a relatively long time 6.0 seconds is selected as the big hit end interval time of. That is, for example, 6.0 seconds is selected regardless of which symbol of the first special drawing is hit during the normal gaming state. If you shift from the first initial position to the second initial position by changing from the normal gaming state to the probability changing gaming state, for example, by hitting with the special figure 1-pattern 1 or the special figure 1-pattern 2, this is equivalent to this Do. In the present embodiment, if it is the first special view, 6.0 seconds is selected for any symbol, so symbols other than the above special figure 1-pattern 1 or special figure 1-pattern 2 That is, even if it is a symbol other than a definite variation symbol, a big hit end interval time of 6.0 seconds is set. In this case, there is no problem because the sub rendering symbol display device 6b does not need to be displaced from the first initial position.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even if a probability variation symbol ("Special figure 1-pattern 1 and special figure 2-pattern 1") of the same sorting contents is selected, the type of the special symbol (first special symbol) And the second special symbol) is set to select a different big hit end interval time. When there is a high possibility that displacement of the sub effect symbol display device 6b is required due to the change of the gaming state, the corresponding initial position is displaced with sufficient time until the change of the gaming state is completed. Configuration.

  This "completion of the displacement to the initial position corresponding to the next gaming state with sufficient time allowance" is executed at the final stage of the jackpot gaming state, as in the first embodiment described above. If it is determined that long distance needs to be displaced over a long time in the big hit end interval to be performed, the big hit end interval time is set to a relatively long time, and displacement is performed during the big hit end interval time Is configured to complete the In addition, the said comparatively long big hit end interval time is the time required for the sub rendering effect display 6b to displace the "displacement track" mentioned above, that is, the longest distance from the first initial position to the second initial position ( For example, it is set to a time (eg, 6 seconds) longer than 5 seconds. Furthermore, the big hit end interval and the displacement process are configured to be started simultaneously. As a result, even if the displacement process is completed, it is possible to generate a state in which the remaining time of the big hit end interval time remains, for example, for 1 second. This point is repeated, but the first embodiment and the second embodiment have the same configuration.

  Furthermore, in the second embodiment, in addition to the above configuration in the case of a big hit, there is provided a unique configuration in the case where a big hit does not occur during the ST period. That is, in the case of losing at the last fluctuation display of the ST period, the sub effect symbol display device 6b located at the second initial position (one of the states not existing at the first initial position) During, it is configured to complete the displacement to the first initial position. Further, in conjunction with the displacement process, notification effect is performed on the big hit result (history) in the continuous change state of the present positive change ending with the variable display. These configurations and actions will be described in detail later.

(2) Regarding the Pass / Fail Determination Processing of the Second Embodiment First, the configuration of the pass / fail determination processing of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 24 and FIG. The other parts of the success / failure determination process are basically the same as the flowcharts 1 and 3 of the success / failure determination process of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  First, the process will be described with reference to FIG. 24 which is a flowchart 2 of the success / failure determination process of the second embodiment. In S215, main controller 80 determines the presence or absence of pending storage pertaining to the second special symbol, and in the case of a positive determination (S215: Yes), processing proceeds to S220 and in the case of a negative determination ( S215: No), the process proceeds to S380.

  In S220, main controller 80 decrements the number of pending storages pertaining to the second special symbol and selects the oldest pending storage pertaining to the second special symbol, and S230, S235, S245, S250, S255, which will be described later. In order to refer to S260, S265, etc., information stored in the pending storage (numerical data such as a random number value) is moved to a predetermined buffer for determining a big hit, and the process proceeds to S225.

  In the case of a negative determination in S215, in S380, main controller 80 determines the presence or absence of pending storage pertaining to the first special symbol, and in the case of a positive determination (S380: Yes), the process proceeds to S385. In the case of a negative determination (S380: No), this process ends.

  In S385, main controller 80 decrements the number of pending storages pertaining to the first special symbol, and selects the oldest pending storage pertaining to the first special symbol, and S230, S235, S245, S250, S255, which will be described later. In order to refer to S260, S265, etc., information stored in the pending storage (numerical data such as a random number value) is moved to a predetermined buffer for determining a big hit, and the process proceeds to S225.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when there is a pending storage associated with the second special symbol, the processing is performed prior to the first special symbol.

  In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability change flag indicating that it is the probability change mode is 1, and in the case of a positive determination (S225: Yes), the process proceeds to S230, and a negative determination is made. In the case (S225: No), the process proceeds to S235.

  In S230, main control device 80 executes a big hit lottery based on the random number for big hit determination according to the selected pending storage and the success / failure determination table (probable change table) corresponding to the positive variation mode, and whether or not to hit the lottery Determine whether or not the pending memory is digested. Then, the process proceeds to S240.

On the other hand, in S235, main controller 80 executes a big hit lottery based on the random number for big hit determination related to the selected pending storage and the hit / not determination table (normal table) corresponding to the normal mode, and hits the lottery It is determined whether or not to reserve the pending memory. Then, the process proceeds to S240.
As described above, S230 and S235 of the present embodiment are processes for executing a hit / fail determination of whether to generate a big hit game, ie, a big hit determination, based on the numerical data stored in S110 or S130 of the start winning confirmation process. is there.

In S240, main controller 80 refers to the determination result in S230 or S235 to determine whether or not a big hit lottery is hit, and in the case of a positive determination (S240: Yes), the process proceeds to S245. When the determination is negative (S240: No), the process proceeds to S260.
In addition, in the structure provided with two or more lost symbols mentioned above, it may be comprised so that a lost symbol determination process may be performed in said S260 which transfers at the time of negative determination by S240.

  In S245, main controller 80 determines the number of rounds and the like of the jackpot game predetermined corresponding to the jackpot symbol by determining the jackpot symbol based on the random number for jackpot design determination pertaining to the saved storage that has been digested . Then, the process proceeds to S250.

  In S250, main controller 80 determines a variation pattern type including information such as a variation time of a special symbol based on the variation pattern determination random number and the like related to the reserved storage that has been digested, and shifts the processing to S255.

  In S255, main controller 80 executes "big hit setting processing" to set the number of rounds of big hit game, opening pattern of big winning opening, presentation time for big hit game, interval time, and production mode of big hit game, etc. , S270.

  In the "big hit setting process" (S255) of the present embodiment, the interval time (between round intervals, big hit end interval time, etc.) during the big hit is set as described above. In particular, as a module for setting the time related to the big hit end interval (which may be simply referred to as the finish interval) to be carried out at the end time of the big hit gaming state, namely the big hit end interval time, "big hit end interval time setting process It is equipped with 2 ". Since the process is an essential part of the present invention, the process flow diagram (FIG. 26) will be described later in detail.

  In addition, in "big hit end interval time setting processing 2" of this embodiment, the type of special symbol when the hit determination of the hit which became the trigger of the big hit concerned was executed in principle (the first hit of the big hit end interval time It is characterized in that it is determined on the basis of 1 special figure or 2nd special figure).

On the other hand, in S260, in which the process proceeds when a negative determination is obtained in S240 (that is, the process proceeds when a big hit lottery is removed), the main control device 80 determines the variation pattern determination random number etc. , The variation time etc. of the special symbol are determined, and the process proceeds to S265.
In the present embodiment, in S260, the fluctuation pattern (variation time) related to the reserved storage at the time of losing is determined, and prior to this, processing for determining the lost symbol is performed. Without being limited to this configuration, a process of determining a lost symbol may be provided before execution of S260. Thereby, if it is a structure provided with two or more lost symbols mentioned above, a suitable control process can be performed.
As described above, S245 and S260 are processing for determining the special symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the big hit symbol or the lost symbol, based on the determination result of whether or not to be a big hit.

  In S265, main controller 80 displays a counter indicating the number of remaining big hit lotterys that can be executed in the definite variation mode (100 (in the present embodiment, 100 (constant variation) period), or a large hit lottery that can be executed in time saving mode. The counter indicating the number of remaining times is updated or the like, and the process proceeds to S270.

  In S 267, main controller 80 refers to a counter indicating the remaining number of the probability change state updated in S 265 and determines whether the remaining number is 0 or not, that is, the current change is the final change in the ST period. It is determined whether the display is displayed or not, and if the determination is affirmative (S267: Yes), the process proceeds to S269, and if the determination is negative (S267: No), the process proceeds to S270.

In S269, the main control device 80 performs a process of transmitting the “ST end scheduled command” to the sub integrated control device 83, and shifts the process to S270. The “ST end scheduled command” is a command indicating that the ST period is scheduled to end when the final variation display of the ST period to be started from now on is lost.
In S269 of the present embodiment, as described above, the configuration for transmitting the “ST end scheduled command” is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured to transmit “the variation pattern for final variation” in the ST period to the sub integrated control apparatus 83. The “variation pattern for final variation” includes variation time information inherent to the final variation of the ST period. In addition, in such a configuration, in S900 of "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2" (FIG. 30) described later, whether or not "a variation pattern for final variation" is received instead of "a command to finish ST". It is preferable to make a decision on

  In S270, main controller 80 transmits a pending number command indicating the number of pending storages decremented in S220 described above to sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S275.

In S275, main controller 80 transmits a variation start command indicating the variation time of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), the result of the big hit lottery, etc. to sub integrated control device 83, and The fluctuation is started and this processing is ended.
That is, in S275, the variation pattern signal (command) indicating the type of variation pattern determined in S250 or S260 is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83.

In addition, the sub integrated control device 83 which received the change start command (also referred to as a special figure change start command) is the same time as the change time of the special symbol based on the change time of the special symbol as a result of the big hit lottery. From among the main effect symbol display device 6a and the sub effect symbol display device 6b to select the pseudo effect (variation effect) to be displayed, and has the "variation start process" (not shown) to start the display of the selected pseudo effect .
In addition, with the fluctuation start command, the reserve memory digested by the big hit lottery is generated by the winning of the first starting opening 11 or by the winning of the second starting opening 12 Indicates whether there is.

  Subsequently, a description will be given with reference to FIG. 25 which is the flowchart 4 of the success / failure determination process of the second embodiment. In S290, which shifts during finalization of the special view (first special symbol or second special symbol), main controller 80 ends the duration of the finalization of the special view (first special symbol or second special symbol). It is determined whether it has been done. Then, if the determination is affirmative (S290: Yes), the process proceeds to S295, and if the determination is negative (S290: No), the process ends.

In S295, main controller 80 ends the finalized display of the special figure (first special symbol or second special symbol), and shifts the processing to S300.
In S300, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special view (first special symbol or second special symbol) displayed in a definite manner is a big hit, that is, whether it is a big hit symbol or not. If the determination is affirmative (S300: Yes), the process proceeds to S305, and if the determination is negative (S300: No), the process proceeds to S340.

  In S305, main controller 80 refers to the probability change flag indicating that it is the probability change mode, and clears the probability change flag if the probability change flag is 1 (S310), and then shifts the processing to S315.

  In S315, the main control apparatus 80 refers to the short time flag indicating that the short time mode is set, and clears the time short flag if the time short flag is 1 (S320), and then shifts the processing to S321.

  In S321, main controller 80 determines whether or not the current big hit is a definite variation big hit, that is, a definite variation design (special figure 1-design 1, special figure 1-design 2, and special figure 2-design 1) If the determination is affirmative (S321: Yes), the process proceeds to S322, and if the determination is negative (S321: No), the process proceeds to S323.

  In S322, the main control device 80 transmits "big hit history data" to the sub integrated control device 83 (S322), and then shifts the processing to S325. The “big hit history data” is data that indicates the situation when a definite variation big hit occurs. The sub integrated control unit 83 that has received the information stores it as a history each time it is received. Then, it is data to be referred to as a basis when notifying the continuous change state of the definite change or notifying the result when the continuous change ends.

  In S323, the main control apparatus 80 transmits a "history deletion command" to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 (S323), and then shifts the processing to S325. The “history deletion command” is used to instruct the sub integrated control device 83 to delete the stored “big hit history data” when there is a non-probable variation big hit, that is, when the variation of continuous variation ends. It is a command. As a result, the "big hit history data" is reset each time the continuous channel ends.

  Then, the main controller 80 executes the condition device operation start process (S325), the character continuous operation device operation start process (S330), and the big hit start effect process (S335) sequentially, thereby indicating a mode of the big hit game. Or, a command to instruct the start of the big hit game is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 or the like to start the big hit game, and the present processing is ended.

  On the other hand, main controller 80 refers to the probability change flag in S340, which is shifted when a negative determination is obtained in S300, and shifts the processing to S345 when the flag is 1 (S340: Yes). If the probability change flag is not 1 (S340: No), the process proceeds to S355.

In addition, the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment is comprised as what is called "ST machine (number-of-times definite change machine)" as mentioned above. However, in the configuration, the number of times of fluctuation display in which the probability change state is maintained is set to 100 times. That is, the state in which the probability change flag is set to 1 means during the ST period, and the ST period ends the predetermined number of times of fluctuation (for example, 100 times) after becoming a big hit with the probability change symbol In the time period until, the probability of winning lottery whether or not to be a big hit fluctuated (probability fluctuation, definite change) to a high probability higher than the low probability in the normal gaming state.
Moreover, the pachinko machine 50 is equipped with a probability change counter. The probability change counter is a counter in which a counter value (for example, 100) corresponding to a predetermined number of changes (for example, 100 times) which is an ST period is set at the start of the ST period, and is decremented each time the fluctuation ends. The ST period ends when the probability change counter becomes zero.

In S345, main controller 80 refers to the count value of the probability variation counter decremented in S265 described above and determines whether or not the probability variation counter has become 0, that is, a big hit lottery that can be executed in the probability variation mode It is judged whether or not the remaining number of times (the number of positive variations) disappears, and when it becomes 0 (S345: Yes), the process proceeds to S350, and when it is not 0 (S345: No), S355 Transfer the process to
In S350, main controller 80 sets the probability change flag to 0, and shifts the processing to S352.

In S352, main control device 80 performs processing for transmitting to sub integrated control device 83 an "ST end command" indicating that the ST period has ended by the current fluctuation display being finalized by the lost symbol. , Shift the processing to S355. The “ST end scheduled command” transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 in S269 described above is a command indicating that the ST period is scheduled to end as a result of the variable display to be started from now on at the start of the change. The “ST end command” transmitted in S352 is a command indicating that the variable display has been confirmed and the ST period has ended.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the configuration in which the “ST end command” is separately transmitted in S352 is illustrated as a unique command indicating that the ST period has ended, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the "state designation command" transmitted in S370 described later may include information indicating that the ST period has ended. In such a configuration, in S950 of the "big hit history data control process" described later (FIG. 29), a "state designation command including information indicating that the ST period has ended, instead of the" ST end command ". Is preferably determined.

  In S355, main controller 80 refers to the time saving flag, and when the flag is 1 (S355: Yes), the process proceeds to S360, and when the time saving flag is not 1 (S355: No) ), Shift the processing to S370.

  In the present embodiment, when replacing the definite change flag 1 with 0 in S310, and replacing the short time flag 1 with 0 in S320, the information is stored in the predetermined probability change flag buffer and the predetermined short time flag buffer. Do. As will be described later, when determining the gaming state (positive or negative, or normal) after the end of the jackpot gaming state at the end of the jackpot gaming state, the information stored in the "probability changing flag buffer" and the "temporary flag buffer" refer.

Note that the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is configured to generate a time saving state in response to the above-described probability variation period (ST period). That is, during the definite change state (during the ST period), the short time state is attained. In addition to the above probability change flag, a state with a short time flag and 1 set to the short time flag means that the time is short and during the ST period, and the short time period is a big hit with a probability change symbol In the period until the predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) ends, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time of the normal motorized part is longer than the normal time.
Moreover, the pachinko machine 50 is provided with a time saving counter separately from the above-mentioned definite variation counter. The time saving counter is a counter that is set at the start of the time saving state at a counter value (for example, 100) corresponding to a predetermined number of changes (for example, 100 times) which is a time saving state, and is decremented each time the change ends. The time saving state ends when the time saving counter becomes zero.
Although not shown, main controller 80 is provided with an “open extension control process” that extends the open time of the ordinary motor-operated part based on the short time flag being 1.

In S360, main controller 80 determines whether or not the time saving counter has become 0 with reference to the count value of the time counter when the decrement process has been performed in S265 described above. (S360: Yes), the process proceeds to S365, and when it is not 0 (S360: No), the process proceeds to S370.
In S365, main controller 80 sets the time saving flag to 0, and shifts the processing to S370.

  In S370, main controller 80 executes a state designation command transmission process, and ends this process.

(3) About the big hit end interval time setting process 2 Next, “big hit end interval time setting process 2” which is the main part of the present invention will be described using the flowchart of FIG. As described above, this process is a subroutine called from the "big hit setting process" (S255) of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 24).

  First, as shown in FIG. 26, at S800, main controller 80 determines whether or not the current big hit determination is caused by the second special view (see FIG. 23 (b)). When the determination is affirmative (S800: Yes), the process proceeds to S805, and when the determination is negative (S800: No), the process proceeds to S825.

  In S805, main controller 80 determines whether or not the hit determination of the current big hit has been made based on the probability variation symbol (special symbol 2-symbol 1) of the second special figure, that is, during the probability variation gaming state It is a second special view that is highly likely to be displayed in a variable manner, and it is further determined whether or not the odd variation symbol in it has been hit. More specifically, it is determined whether or not a probability change is likely to be continued in a big hit with a probability change symbol in a high probability change state. When the determination is affirmative (S805: Yes), the process proceeds to S810, and when the determination is negative (S805: No), the process proceeds to S825.

That is, in S805, it is determined whether or not to shift to the positive change state by the present big hit determination. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is configured to be located at the specific arrangement position, ie, the second initial position, in the positive variation state during the positive variation state. Therefore, by determining whether or not to shift to the positive change state by the present big hit, the sub effect design display device 6b located in the second initial position from the second initial position to another position, for example, the normal state It is determined whether there is no need to displace to the first initial position, which is a specific arrangement position in the inside. In other words, it is determined whether there is no need to move the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by performing such a determination process of S605, it is possible to set the big hit end interval time corresponding to the state change when it is necessary to displace the sub rendering symbol display device 6b. It is done.

  In S810, the main control device 80 sets a relatively short time of 2.9 seconds as the big hit end interval time of the present big hit game (see FIG. 23B). It is the second special figure with high possibility of fluctuating display during definite variation, and it becomes big hit with definite variation pattern, and it moves when there is a possibility that the sub effect design display device 6b does not have to move from the second initial position. In the second embodiment, it is configured that a meaninglessly long time is not selected as the big hit end interval time.

  In S825, the main control unit 80 sets a relatively long 6.0 seconds as the big hit end interval time of the present big hit game (see FIG. 23). If the cause of the big hit this time is due to the first special figure or the special figure 2 pattern special figure 2 (non-probable change pattern) other than the special figure 2-pattern 1 as a big hit end interval time, a long time with sufficient margin It is configured to be selected. That is, in the case of the first special view, there is a possibility that the first hit in the middle usually, that is, the first big hit of the probability variation continuous chan, the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the first initial position to the second initial position You need to move it to Moreover, when it is based on symbols other than special figure 2-pattern 1 of the 2nd special figure, it is necessary to move the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the 2nd initial position to the 1st initial position after the definite change chan state ends. There is. A big hit end interval time is set corresponding to such a case. In addition, it is a required time to displace the sub rendering symbol display device 6b from the first initial position to the second initial position or from the second initial position to the first initial position with a sufficiently long time. Means a time longer than time. The path connecting the first initial position and the second initial position corresponds to the “displacement track” of the above-described embodiment. The length of the "displacement track" is the longest distance among the displaceable routes of the sub rendering symbol display 6b. The 6.0 seconds as the big hit end interval time is set to be longer than the time required for the sub rendering symbol display device 6b to displace the "displacement track". The required time for the sub rendering symbol display device 6b to displace the "displacement track" is, for example, 5.0 seconds in the present embodiment. Therefore, after the displacement is completed, it is configured to have an additional 1.0 second before the big hit end interval time expires. By this, it is possible for the sub effect symbol display device 6b to complete movement to a specific initial position corresponding to the new gaming state with ample time before a new gaming state to shift after a big hit game is started. It has become.

  In S815, the main control device 80 displays a command indicating the big hit end interval time of the present big hit game set in S810 or S825, a command indicating the type of gaming state to be shifted after the big hit, and the like, the sub integrated control device 83. To the end of the process.

  When the sub integrated control unit 83 receives a command indicating the big hit end interval time from the main control unit 80, it creates time data based on the command, and the time data is stored in a predetermined "big hit end interval information storage buffer" Store and save until the big hit end interval is executed. In the "big hit end interval information storage buffer", gaming state type data indicating the type of gaming state to be shifted after the big hit game is also stored.

  In the present embodiment, the big hit end interval time is set based on a criterion different from that of the first embodiment. However, during the big hit end interval time set in this way, processing for displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b is performed by the same control processing as the sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1 (FIG. 18) of the first embodiment. ing. Next, the “big hit end interval time setting process 2” and the “sub liquid crystal displacement process 1” of this embodiment will be described with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. 27 and 28. .

(4) In the case where the first special figure (for example, special figure 1-pattern 1) is hit big in the following, according to the present embodiment, the first special figure (for example, special figure 1-pattern 1 during normal) The detailed description of the case of a big hit in will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 27, in a normal time (when the probability change flag is set to 0), a big hit occurs in the probability figure of the first special figure (for example, special figure 1-pattern 1; see FIG. 23) In this case, at the start of the special figure fluctuation that is the big hit, "No big hit end interval time setting process 2" (FIG. 26), S800 is negative and 6.0 seconds is set as the big hit end interval time.

  The condition device and the feature continuous operation device are activated, and a big hit game is started. In this case, when S460 of the "big hit gaming process" (FIG. 16) is executed when the final round 15 ends, the main control device 80 instructs the sub integrated control device 83 to execute the "big hit end interval start command". And the big hit end interval of 6.0 seconds is started.

  At this time, although not shown, the sub effect design display device 6b is disposed at the first initial position because the success / failure determination that is the trigger of the current big hit has occurred at a normal time. On the main effect symbol display device 6a, effect display is executed to the effect that preparation for shifting to the probability variation gaming state is started after the big hit game is over.

  When the sub integrated control apparatus 83 receives the "big hit end interval start command", the sub integrated control apparatus 83 starts executing "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1". In this case, since the jackpot with a probability change symbol and the sub effect symbol display device 6b is disposed at the first initial position, S720 is continuously executed until an affirmative determination is made in S725. At this time, as shown in FIG. 27, the drive control of the sub rendering symbol display device drive motor (described as a sub liquid crystal drive motor in FIG. 27) 92 is continued until the second initial position sensor 93b is in the detection state. To complete the displacement (movement). When such control is performed, although not shown, the sub effect symbol display device 6b starts displacement from the first initial position, temporarily displaces the upper portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a rightward, and subsequently Move down to the second initial position by lowering the right side of the main effect symbol display device 6a and displacing the lower portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a to the left rear, that is, following the "displacement track" described above . As shown in FIG. 27, when the second initial position sensor 93b is in the detection state and the displacement is completed, a notification display indicating that the displacement in the end interval is completed is performed. In the present embodiment, it is configured to require 5.0 seconds for the displacement, and after the displacement is completed, the remaining time for 1.0 second is still until the end interval (not shown) ends. It is set to be left over. Although not shown in the drawings, when the end interval ends and shifts to the next gaming state, that is, the probability changing state, in the sub effect symbol display device 6b located at the second initial position, the effect unique to the probability changing state is started. In this way, the sub rendering effect display device 6b completes the displacement to the second initial position before the end interval time expires, so that the displacement is not completed even if the next positive change state is started. It is surely prevented.

(5) In the case where the second special figure (for example, special figure 2-pattern 3 during big change) hits big in the present embodiment, the second special figure (for example, special figure 2-figure 3 during definite change) A detailed description of the case of a big hit at will be given with reference to the timing chart of FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 28, at the time of probability change (when the probability change flag is set to 1), a big hit is made with the normal symbol (for example, special symbol 2-symbol 1; see FIG. 23) of the second special view. In the case of the big hit the start of the special figure fluctuation, in the "big hit end interval time setting process 2" (Fig. 26), affirmation determination in S800, S805 is a negative decision, and 6.0 seconds as a big hit end interval time. It is set.

  The condition device and the feature continuous operation device are activated, and a big hit game is started. In this case, when S460 of the "big hit gaming process" (FIG. 16) is executed when the final round 15 ends, the main control device 80 instructs the sub integrated control device 83 to execute the "big hit end interval start command". And the big hit end interval of 6.0 seconds is started.

  At this time, although not shown, the sub effect design display device 6b is disposed at the second initial position because the success or failure judgment that is the trigger of the current big hit has occurred at the time of definite variation. On the main effect symbol display device 6a, effect display is executed to the effect that preparation for shifting to the normal game state is started after the big hit game is over.

  When the sub integrated control apparatus 83 receives the "big hit end interval start command", the sub integrated control apparatus 83 starts executing "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1". In this case, since the big hit with the normal symbol and the sub effect symbol display device 6b is disposed at the second initial position, S735 is continuously executed until an affirmative determination is made in S740. At this time, as shown in FIG. 28, the drive control of the sub rendering symbol display device drive motor (described as a sub liquid crystal drive motor in FIG. 28) 92 is continued until the first initial position sensor 93a is in the detection state. To complete the displacement (movement). When such control is performed, although it is not illustrated, the sub effect symbol display device 6b starts displacement from the second initial position, temporarily displaces the lower portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a in the right direction, and subsequently Move up to the first initial position by raising the right side of the main effect symbol display device 6a and further displacing the upper portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a to the left rear, that is, following the "displacement track" described above . As shown in FIG. 28, when the first initial position sensor 93a is in the detection state and the displacement is completed, a notification display indicating that the displacement during the end interval is completed is performed. In the present embodiment, it is configured to require 5.0 seconds for the displacement, and after the displacement is completed, the remaining time for 1.0 second is still until the end interval (not shown) ends. It is set to be left over. Although not shown, when the end interval ends and shifts to the normal state which is the next gaming state, in the sub effect symbol display device 6b positioned at the first initial position, effects unique to the normal state are started. In this way, the sub rendering effect display device 6b completes the displacement to the first initial position before the end interval time expires, so that the displacement is not completed even if the next normal state is started. It is surely prevented.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, “sub-liquid crystal displacement processing 2” is provided as displacement processing different from the displacement processing based on “sub-liquid crystal displacement processing 1” described above, and sub-rendering is performed at different timings and timings. It is possible to displace the symbol display device 6b. The configuration and operation will be described below with reference to FIGS. 29 to 32.

(6) Big Hit History Data Control Process The “big hit history data control process” according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the "big hit history data control process", the sub integrated control device 83 stores information related to the big hit, more specifically, information such as the number of times of continuous change in a definite change state, based on the command transmitted from the main control device 80. It is a control process for storing or deleting data. The big hit history data is referred to when the notification effect is executed in S 905 of “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2” described later.

  First, in S950, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the "ST end command" has been received from the main control apparatus 80. If the determination is affirmative (S950: Yes), the process proceeds to S955. If the determination is negative (S950: No), the process proceeds to S960. As described above, the “ST end command” is a command transmitted in S352 of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 25) by the main control apparatus 80. That is, it is a command to be received when the last variation display of the ST period is determined and displayed with the lost symbol.

  In S960, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the "history deletion command" has been received from the main control apparatus 80. If the determination is affirmative (S960: Yes), the process proceeds to S955, and if the determination is negative (S960: No), the process proceeds to S965. As described above, the “history deletion command” is a command transmitted in S323 of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 25) by the main control apparatus 80. That is, it is a command to be received when the variable display during the ST period is determined and displayed with the normal symbol of the big hit symbol.

  In S965, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not "big hit history data" has been received from the main control device 80. If the determination is affirmative (S965: Yes), the process proceeds to S970, and if the determination is negative (S965: No), the process ends. As described above, the “big hit history data” is a command transmitted in S322 of the success / failure determination process (FIG. 25) by the main control device 80. In other words, it is a command to be received when the variable display during the ST period is determined and displayed with the odd variation symbol of the big hit symbol.

  In S970, the sub integrated control device 83 stores the received "big hit history data" in the "big hit history data storage buffer", performs a process of updating the history, and ends this process. As described above, the sub integrated control device 83 updates the history data in the "big hit history data storage buffer" each time a probability variation big hit occurs.

  In S955, the sub integrated control device 83 performs processing for deleting the history data in the "big hit history data storage buffer" accumulated in the series of channels, and ends this processing.

  As described above, the sub integrated control device 83 according to the present embodiment stores the big hit information related to the probability variation continuous chan in a predetermined buffer, and updates it each time the probability variation big hit occurs. Further, when the odd change connection is completed, the information in the buffer is cleared once, and when a new hit occurs, the update is started again as the history.

(7) Sub-Liquid Crystal Disposition Processing 2 With reference to FIG. 30, the “sub-liquid crystal displacement processing 2” in the present embodiment will be described. The “sub liquid crystal displacement process 2” is a process that the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment includes in addition to the “sub liquid crystal displacement process 1” described above. That is, in this embodiment, in addition to the displacement by "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1", displacement by "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2" is enabled.

  In S900 shown in FIG. 30, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the "ST end scheduled command" has been received from the main control apparatus 80. If the determination is affirmative (S900: Yes), the process proceeds to S905, and if the determination is negative (S900: No), the process ends. Note that the “ST end scheduled command” is started with the plan that the last fluctuation display of the ST period will be the fluctuation display of the loss in S269 of the “permission determination process” (FIG. 24) of the main controller 80 described above. Is a command to be sent.

  In S 905, the sub integrated control device 83 refers to the big hit history information in the consecutive chan, that is, the history data in the “big hit history data storage buffer”, executes notification effect regarding the big hit history in the consecutive chan, and performs S 910 Migrate the process.

  In S910, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the first initial position sensor 93a is not detected. That is, it is determined whether or not the sub effect symbol display device 6b is not arranged at the first initial position which is the predetermined arrangement position in the normal state. If the determination is affirmative (S910: Yes), the process proceeds to S915, and if the determination is negative (S910: No), the process ends.

  In S915, the sub integrated control device 83 executes control processing for displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b toward the first initial position by driving and controlling the sub effect symbol display device drive motor 92, and the process is performed in S920. Migrate

  In S920, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether the first initial position sensor 93a has detected the sub rendering symbol display device 6b. If the determination is affirmative (S920: Yes), the process ends; if the determination is negative (S920: No), the process proceeds to S915 again. That is, the displacement control toward the first initial position of S915 is continued until the first initial position sensor 93a is in the detection state.

  In the present embodiment, the sub effect symbol display device 6 b can be displaced by such “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2”. Next, the displacement processing of the sub rendering symbol display device 6b by such control processing will be described in further detail.

(8) The case of losing due to the 100th pass / fail judgment (in the case of ST-through) during definite variation In the present embodiment, the details of the case of missing (in the case of ST-through) in the 100th pass / fail determination during definite change A description will be made with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 31 and the displacement mode explanatory view of FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 31, during the ST period, that is, at the time of probability change (when the probability change flag is set to 1), the 99th pass / fail judgment is executed during the ST period (100 variable display according to the special figure). If the determination result is lost, the variable display is performed in the mode shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 32 (b), when the decorative symbol corresponding to the special symbol is finalized and displayed in the lost state (252), subsequently, as shown in FIG. 31, the final 100th pass / fail in the ST period. A determination is performed.

  When the determination result indicates that there is a loss, the “ST end scheduled command” is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S269 of the above-described success or failure determination process (FIG. 24). The sub integrated control apparatus 83 starts the final variable display of the ST period, and when it receives the "ST end scheduled command", it is shown in FIG. 32C by S905 of "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2" (FIG. 30). As shown, notification effect (“big hit history announcement” shown in FIG. 32) related to the big hit history information during the definite change is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the sub integrated control device 83 starts the drive control of the sub effect symbol display device drive motor 92 at the start of the notification effect (the effect time is, for example, 6.0 seconds). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 32C, the sub effect symbol display device 6b is moved from the second initial position (specific initial position during positive change) to the first initial position (normal initial position during normal). Displace the "displacement track" in the direction. The sub integrated control apparatus 83 continues the displacement, and completes the displacement before the six-second jackpot history notification is completed by making an affirmative determination in S920 of the “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2” (FIG. 30). That is, as shown in FIG. 32 (d), even if the sub effect design display device 6b completes the displacement to the first initial position, the notification effect relating to the big hit history information is still ("this was seven consecutive chan. Your admirable ") will continue. In the present embodiment, the notification effect is set to end, for example, one second after the displacement is completed.

  Next, after the notification effect relating to the big hit history information is finished, as shown in FIG. 32 (e), when the fluctuation display is finished in the lost mode, the probability change flag is cleared to 0 (see FIG. 31), and it becomes a new gaming state. Transition to the normal gaming state of. When shifting to the normal gaming state, in the mode shown in FIG. 32 (f), for example, if there is no hold storage according to the second special view, variable display according to the first special view is started.

  In addition, it is good also as a following structures, without being limited to the aspect shown to FIG.31 and FIG.32 as mentioned above. For example, regarding the final fluctuation of the ST period, an inherent long fluctuation time is set, and the lost fluctuation display is executed based on the fluctuation time, and after temporarily stopping the lost symbol, the notification concerning the big hit history information You may comprise so that presentation may be performed. In such a configuration, during the execution of the lost fluctuation display, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is not returned from the second initial position to the first initial position, and the notification effect relating to the big hit history information is executed. It is preferable to carry out during. In this case, even if the inherent long-term fluctuation time is short, the time obtained by adding the maximum required time of the displacement for returning the sub rendering symbol display device 6b from the second initial position to the first initial position to the lost fluctuation display time. It is preferable to set to a longer time. As a result, the fluctuation display and the return displacement of the sub effect symbol display 6b can be completed with a sufficient margin. Further, by configuring in this manner, the player does not perform the display of the big hit history information and the return displacement of the sub effect symbol display device 6b until the result of the lost fluctuation display is substantially clarified, so the player loses the fluctuation display. It is possible to recognize the jackpot history information and to prevent confusion of the information after firmly recognizing the event. In addition, since the return displacement of the sub effect symbol display device 6b does not disturb the lost fluctuation display, the player can surely recognize that the loss has occurred and complete the return displacement with a margin on that. Can.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when there is a plan to shift to a gaming state different from the current state, before the transition to the gaming state is performed, to the initial position corresponding to the gaming state of the sub effect symbol display device 6b As a configuration for completing the displacement of the above, there are provided a configuration to be performed during the big hit end interval, and a configuration to be performed during the variable display in which the ST period is to be ended in addition to this.

  The present embodiment is a trigger for changing the gaming state by providing a configuration that allows the sub effect symbol display device 6b to be displaced to a new initial position during the variable display in which the ST period is ended. Even at the end of the ST period, it is possible to change to the initial position corresponding to the new gaming state after the change. Therefore, when the change of the gaming state is scheduled, all the change processing to the new initial position of the sub effect symbol display device 6b corresponding to the new gaming state can be performed.

  In addition, the present embodiment, the history as a result of the big hit in the continuous probability variation state, during the final variation display of the loss that will end the ST period, the sub effect design display device 6b from the second initial position first It is configured to return to the initial position. That is, in general, the effect display performed during the fluctuation display is a fluctuation display displaying the history, while it is usual that the effect of whether or not to be a big hit is performed by the fluctuation display. Since it is difficult to assume that the effect of displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b is assumed, there is no particular limitation.

  Further, the present embodiment is configured not to return the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position to the first initial position during the variable display when the final change of the ST period is a big hit. . That is, when it is determined in S267 of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 24) that the fluctuation display targeted for the loss determination is the final fluctuation of ST, the “ST end scheduled command” is the sub integrated control device 83 in S269. Sent to Then, when the sub integrated control device 83 receives the command, the sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2 (FIG. 30) is executed to move the sub effect symbol display device 6 b from the second initial position to the first initial position. It will be back. Therefore, when the final change of ST is a big hit, “ST end scheduled command” that triggers execution of sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2 is not transmitted from the beginning, so the sub effect symbol display device 6b 1 It is not returned to the initial position. Since it is constituted in this way, conversely, when the sub effect design display device 6b does not move from the 2nd initial position at the time of the final fluctuation of ST period, it predicts that the result of the particular fluctuation display becomes big hit I can do it. Therefore, at the time of the final change of the ST period, it is possible to make the player expect that the sub effect symbol display device 6b is not displaced from the second initial position, and it is possible to provide the player with new interest.

[Other modification]
Next, another modification according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention described above will be described. In the first and second embodiments, as the predetermined initial position of the sub effect symbol display device 6b, the first initial position in the normal gaming state, the second initial position in the probability variation gaming state. On the other hand, in the modification, in addition to the first and second initial positions, the third initial position corresponding to the big hit gaming state is provided. Although not particularly illustrated, for example, the position of the sub rendering symbol display device 6b in FIG. 32C of the second embodiment is set as a third initial position. If it explains in full detail, it is a middle position of the right side and the up-and-down direction of main production symbol display 6a, and constitutes the approximately middle point on a "displacement track" as a 3rd initial position. Note that another position may be set as the third initial position. In that case, it is preferable to select a point on the "displacement trajectory".

  In this modification, the above-described position is provided as a third initial position as an initial position unique to a big hit game, and it is determined whether or not the sub effect symbol display device 6b is disposed at the third initial position. A third initial position sensor is provided separately. The third initial position sensor is connected to the sub integrated control device 83 in the same manner as the first and second initial position sensors. Of course, the installation position of the third initial position sensor is set to a position at which the sub rendering symbol display device 6b disposed at the third initial position can be detected.

  Moreover, in this modification, when the big hit gaming state is started, the sub effect symbol display device 6b is selected from the first or second initial position to the third initial position during the big hit start interval which is the initial stage of the big hit game. It has “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 3” (not shown) that performs displacement processing to the Thereby, during the big hit game, the sub effect symbol display device 6b is placed at the third initial position, and performs a unique effect during the big hit game.

  Also in this modification, the same processing as the “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1” in the first and second embodiments is provided. However, in the “sub liquid crystal displacement process 1” of this modification, with reference to the determination result of the pre-reading determination process (see FIG. 9), that is, there is a pending storage that is a big hit among the pending storages currently stored. It is determined whether or not to make a displacement from the third initial position to the first or second initial position during the big hit end interval, when there is a big hit pending storage by judging whether or not it is a big hit Be done. Specifically, an affirmative determination is made in S700 of “sub liquid crystal displacement processing 1” (FIG. 18), and after the processing of S 705 is performed, it is determined whether or not there is storage that becomes a big hit during pending storage If the determination is positive, the process is terminated, and if the determination is negative, that is, if there is no memory for a big hit, the process may be shifted to S710.

  As a result, if the pre-reading function has already stored the big hit storage memory which is a big hit, that is, if the big hit will be generated again within the number fluctuation after the big hit game is over, the processing after S710 is not performed Let's do it. Therefore, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is maintained at the position without performing displacement processing from the third initial position to the first or second initial position, that is, without displacing from the third initial position. In addition, if the storage which becomes a big hit is not stored, displacement processing of the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the third initial position to the first or second initial position is performed.

  In this modification, by configuring in this way, when there is a memory that will be a big hit in the holding memory, the displacement to the first or second initial position is performed during the big hit end interval, and then the big hit game is ended. Soon after, it will be a big hit and will not return to the 3rd initial position again, so it will not displace the dazzling sub-reproduction symbol display device 6b, and it will cause a decrease in the interest caused by making the player have a complicated impression. It can be prevented.

  With this configuration, when the sub effect symbol display device 6b does not move from the third initial position in the big hit end interval by configuring in this way, the non-displacement state is a notice notification of the pending inside continuation chan. As it corresponds, the player can pay attention to the trend of the sub effect symbol display device 6b at the time of the big hit end interval, and can provide an unprecedented interest.

  In such a configuration, when the information stored in the "big hit end interval information storage buffer" is referred to in the process of S705, if the long hit end interval time is set, and if It is also possible to execute a process of determining whether or not there is a big hit memory during storage, and in the case of a positive determination, to carry out a process of changing the set long time into a short time. Thereby, even if the big hit end interval time of a long time is stored in the "big hit end interval information storage buffer", when the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is not moved from the third initial position, the big hit end interval is By lengthening the time, the jackpot game can be postponed and it can be prevented that the interest is reduced.

  As described above, the third initial position can be freely set to another position, but it is also possible to set, for example, the same position as the first initial position. That is, the third initial position corresponding to the big hit gaming state is configured as the same position as the first initial position (for example, see FIG. 21A) corresponding to the normal gaming state. When configured in this way, if the sub effect symbol display device 6b is elected in the probability change state during the probability change state located at the second initial position (for example, see FIG. 21 (d)), it is at the initial stage of the big hit game It is preferable to provide a control process for displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position toward the third initial position at the same position as the first initial position during a certain big hit start interval It is. Thereby, the displacement can be completed during the big hit start interval of the big hit game at the initial position corresponding to the big hit gaming state, and it is possible to prevent a rendering failure.

  Although the embodiments according to the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto unless it deviates from the technical concept of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment described above, the sub effect symbol display device 6b in the big hit gaming state is disposed at the third initial position if it has the first initial position, the second initial position, or the third initial position. However, as a unique displacement effect during the big hit gaming state, for example, it may be configured to be variously displaced on the “displacement track”. Furthermore, in the area other than the “displacement track” on the “displacement track” connecting the first initial position and the second initial position, a unique displacement effect may be performed during the big hit game. However, in such a configuration, the required displacement from the position to the first initial position or the second initial position is required regardless of the position at which the unique displacement effect in the big hit gaming state is executed. It is preferable that the time is set to be shorter than the time required for displacement of the entire stroke of the displacement track (the longest possible displacement time required). By thus configuring, assuming that the configuration for completing the displacement toward the initial position corresponding to the gaming state transitioning after the big hit game is completed during the big hit end interval, that is, the entire stroke of the displacement track The displacement can be completed regardless of the position of the sub effect symbol display device 6b until the long time corresponding to the required time related to the displacement of the is over. Therefore, it is possible to execute without limiting the displacement effect of the sub effect symbol display device 6b during the big hit game, it is possible to freely set the high displacement effect of taste.

Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, about the kind of big hit symbol which concerns on a 1st and 2nd special symbol, it assumed that it provided a probability variation symbol and a normal symbol. And as a definite variation design, it is comprised by the "special figure 1-pattern 1" and the "special figure 1-pattern 2" of the 1st special symbol, and the "special figure 2-pattern 1" of the 2nd special symbol, and as a normal symbol The first special symbol "special figure 1-pattern 3" ~ "special figure 1-pattern 6", the second special symbol "special figure 2-pattern 2" and "special figure 2-pattern 3" I said. However, it is not limited to this, and as a normal symbol, the first special symbol "special figure 1-pattern 5" ~ "special figure 1-pattern 6", the second special symbol "special figure 2-pattern 3" It is composed, and it is newly equipped with the time short design which is constituted by "special figure 1-pattern 3"-"special figure 1-pattern 4" of the 1st special symbol and "special figure 2-pattern 2" of the 2nd special symbol. You may The processing in the case of a big hit in the short time symbol may be considered to be the same as the processing in the case of a big hit in a probable symbol. Thereby, after the big hit game, even if it does not shift to the probability variation gaming state, but shifts to the time saving state, it is configured to be different from the normal gaming state (low probability and the non-operation state of the electric chow support) can do. If you hit a big hit with a short time symbol, even if it does not reach the probability variation gaming state, that is, even if it is a low probability that the power support is in operation, the possibility of becoming a big hit per unit time is usually a game It is higher than the state. Therefore, it is desirable that in the short game state to shift after a big hit with a short symbol, the sub effect symbol display device 6b be displaced to the second initial position. By this, it becomes possible to perform the displacement effect of the sub effect symbol display device 6b which can be expected to have a high effect, different from the operation in the normal gaming state.
In other words, in the embodiment described above, the sub rendering symbol display device 6b is displaced to the second initial position before shifting to the positive variation state, and is arranged at the second initial position during the positive variation state However, the sub effect design display device 6b may be disposed at the second initial position even during a short time (open extension).
Moreover, in such a configuration, in the big hit that will shift to the open extension state after the big hit, the big hit end interval time of the big hit is selected to be the second interval time, for example, 6 seconds. Configured
Furthermore, in such a configuration, when the final change in the open extension state causes a lost change, the sub effect design display device 6b is started during the lost change, that is, before the next change display is started. May be returned to the first initial position. The configuration causes the sub rendering symbol display device 6b to return to the first initial position when the final fluctuation of the ST period is lost in the "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2" (FIG. 30) of the second embodiment described above. It is preferable to adopt a control similar to the configuration.

  Further, the configurations of the sub effect symbol display device 6b and the main effect symbol display device 6a are not limited to the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, although the structure which always maintains the same attitude | position was illustrated also about the attitude | position of the sub production | presentation symbol display apparatus 6b to displace, it does not limit to this. For example, in the process of displacing the displacement trajectory, it is possible to set a variety of displacement effects such as changing from a horizontally long posture to a vertically long posture, changing a rotation direction from clockwise to counterclockwise, and the like. Furthermore, when the third initial position is, for example, the right side of the main effect symbol display device 6a, the posture of the sub effect symbol display device 6b may be changed to the vertically long posture and maintained. As a result, the state of projecting largely toward the front center of the main effect symbol display device 6a to be shielded is avoided, and the risk of inhibiting the display effect of the main effect symbol display device 6a is reduced.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration is provided in which the big hit end interval time includes relatively short 2.9 seconds and relatively long 6.0 seconds. The displacement track formed between the first initial position located at the upper part of the main effect symbol display device 6a and the second initial position located at the lower portion of the main effect symbol display device 6a can be either forward or backward. Also in the above, since the time required for the sub rendering symbol display device 6b to displace is 5.0 seconds, even if the entire stroke of the displacement track is displaced, the end interval time from the displacement completion to the end The example illustrated the structure which the remaining time of 1.0 second generate | occur | produces.
However, not limited to this, for example, the following configuration may be considered. That is, the time required for the displacement from the first initial position to the second initial position, including the downward displacement, is 5.0 seconds, but the displacement from the second initial position to the first initial position, including the upward displacement. In the case where the required time is 5.5 seconds, it may be configured to further include 6.5 seconds for a long time as the big hit end interval time. And, for example, in "big hit end interval time setting processing 1" (Figure 14), when it becomes negative decision in S605 (big hit with non definite variable symbol during definite change), that is, after the big hit game sub production design indicator 6b When performing displacement (returning path) including upward displacement from the second initial position to the first initial position, the processing is not transferred to S625, and instead, 6.5 seconds is used as the third big hit end interval time. A new process to be set may be added, and the process may be shifted to S615 after the process.
Thereby, when shifting from the probability variation gaming state to the normal gaming state after the big hit game, in conjunction with this, when displacing the sub effect symbol display device 6b from the second initial position to the first initial position, the second initial position By setting the jackpot end interval time longer than the required time of the displacement from the first initial position to the first initial position, the displacement can be completed before the normal gaming state is started. Furthermore, even when displacing the same displacement track, the big hit end interval can be assuredly set by enabling different big hit end interval times to be set according to the different state of the required time of the displacement. The displacement can be completed in time.

  Further, in the second embodiment described above, when the big hit symbol is determined and displayed in the success / failure determination process (FIG. 25), main controller 80 performs the big hit history data in S322 if it is a definite variation big hit in the determination process of S321. Is sent to the sub integrated control apparatus 83, and if the determination processing in S321 is normally a big hit, a history deletion command is sent to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 in S323, and the sub integrated control apparatus 83 receives the received big hit. Each time history data is received, it is stored in the "big hit history data storage buffer", and when the delete history command is received, the big hit history data stored in the "big hit history data storage buffer" is deleted and the final fluctuation of ST period is lost fluctuation In the event of a large hit stored in the "big hit history data storage buffer" in S905 of "sub liquid crystal displacement processing 2" (FIG. 30) Illustrating the configuration for performing the notification effect gravel data referring to the. However, the present invention is not limited to this, the main control unit 80 includes the "big hit history data storage buffer", stores the big hit history data in the buffer, erases under the above conditions, and the final fluctuation of the ST period is lost fluctuation In this case, a command indicating the big hit history data is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 with reference to the “big hit history data storage buffer”, and the sub integrated control device 83 performs notification based on the command. It is good.
