First Embodiment
(1) Description of Configuration A. Description of Basic Configuration FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof, and FIG. 3 is various control boards etc. mounted on the pachinko gaming machine. An example is shown. In the following description, the entire configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In the following description, the front side of FIG. 1 will be described as the front side and the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the rear side. The front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is an opposing surface facing the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board 2 which constitutes a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame (also referred to as a "playing frame") 3 which supports and fixes the gaming board 2. In the present embodiment, the game board 2 is a unit unique to different models depending on the model, and is detachably attached to the gaming machine frame 3. The gaming machine frame 3 is a unit common to all types of gaming boards of different types regardless of the type of gaming board 2. With reference to FIG. 2, the gaming machine frame 3 is vertically oriented on the front side of the left side of the underframe 3A with a vertically elongated rectangular frame 3A having an accommodating portion for accommodating the gaming board 2 in a removable manner. A glass door 3B and a lower door 3C are provided so as to be openable and closable about an axis extending along the axis. The game board 2 is covered from the front by the glass door 3B in a state of being accommodated from the front in the underframe 3A. The glass door 3B is provided with a substantially circular see-through window 3D that allows the game area formed on the game board 2 to be viewed from the front.

  In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails is formed. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is shot and shot from a predetermined ball striking device. In the lower part of the game area of the game board 2, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The regular winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening as a starting area which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normally variable winning ball device 6B has a normal motorized symbol having a pair of movable wing pieces that changes between a normal open state in a vertical position and an enlarged open state in a tilting position by a solenoid 81 for a normal motorized symbol. Prepare and form a second start winning opening.

  For example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric combination is in the OFF state, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position, so that the game ball hardly opens through the second starting winning opening. It becomes a state. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball can easily pass through the second start winning opening by tilting control in which the movable wing piece is at the tilting position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric symbol is on. It will be open. It should be noted that although the game ball can pass through the second start winning opening even when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normal opening state, the gaming ball may pass more than when it is in the enlarged opening state. It may be configured to be low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball device 6B may be configured such that the gaming ball does not pass through the second starting winning opening by, for example, closing the second starting winning opening in the normally open state. As described above, the second start winning opening changes between the enlarged open state in which the game ball easily passes and the normal open state in which the game ball hardly passes or can not pass.

  The game ball which has passed the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, the first starting opening switch 22A. The game ball having passed the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, the second starting opening switch 22B. In addition, the prize by the game ball which passed the 1st starting winning a prize mouth being detected by the 1st starting mouth switch 22A is called the 1st starting winning a prize. In addition, winning by the fact that the game ball which passes 2nd starting winning a prize mouth is detected by 2nd starting mouth switch 22B is called 2nd starting winning a prize.

  A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls based on the fact that the game balls having passed the first start winning opening are detected by the first start opening switch 22A, and the first special view is reserved. If the number of memories (described later) is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"), the first special figure game (described later) executed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the ornament executed on the display device 5 A first start condition for executing a variable display game such as variable display of symbols is established. In addition, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls based on the fact that the game balls that have passed through the second start winning opening are detected by the second start hole switch 22B. If the figure reserve storage number (described later) is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit (for example, “4”), the second special symbol game (described later) executed on the second special symbol display device 4B or the display device 5 is executed. A second start condition for executing a variable display game such as variable display of a decorative symbol is established. Note that the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the first start winning and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the second starting win may be the same or different from each other. Good.

  The first special view reserve memory number is the number of variable display games that are not executed immediately when the first start winning is generated, but are temporarily suspended for execution. The occurrence of the first start prize even when the first start condition for executing a variable display game such as a first special view game (described later) or a variable display of a decorative symbol is satisfied by the occurrence of the first start prize. If the first start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game described above is not satisfied (for example, the variable display game based on the first start condition or the second start condition established earlier is being In the case where the gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state), the execution of the variable display game is suspended. That is, the first special view reservation storage number is the number of games of the variable display game due to the occurrence of the first start winning that is in the execution waiting state. The number of first special map reservation memories decreases by one each time one first start condition is satisfied.

  In addition, although the 1st starting condition by a certain 1st starting prize is satisfied, the information about the variable display corresponding to the 1st starting winning which the 1st starting condition which permits the start of the variable display game by the 1st starting winning is not satisfied Is stored (held) as hold data (first special-image hold information) until a first start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game by the first start winning is satisfied. In other words, the suspended first special-image hold information is digested one by one each time the first start condition is satisfied, and the variable display game based on the digested first-special-image hold information is executed.

  The second special drawing reserve storage number is the number of variable display games that are not executed immediately when the second start winning is generated, but are temporarily suspended for execution. Even if the second start condition for executing a variable display game such as a second special view game (described later) or a variable display of a decorative symbol is satisfied by the occurrence of the second start prize, the second start prize is generated If the second start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game described above is not satisfied (for example, the variable display game based on the first start condition or the second start condition established earlier is being In the case where the gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state), the execution of the variable display game is suspended. That is, the second special drawing reserve storage number is the number of games of the variable display game due to the occurrence of the second start winning that is in the execution waiting state. The number of the second special view reservation storage decreases by one each time the second start condition is satisfied.

  In addition, although the 2nd starting condition by a certain 2nd starting winning is satisfied, the information about the variable display corresponding to the 2nd starting winning which the 2nd starting condition which permits the start of the variable display game by the 2nd starting winning is not satisfied Is stored (held) as hold data (second special-image hold information) until a second start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game by the second start winning is satisfied. In other words, the held second special-image hold information is digested one by one each time the second start condition is satisfied, and the variable display game based on the second special-character hold information to be digested is executed.

  When the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening are not particularly distinguished from each other, they are also simply referred to as "starting winning opening". Further, when the first start winning combination and the second start winning combination are not particularly distinguished from each other, they are also simply referred to as "starting winning combination". Further, the number of pending storages obtained by adding the number of first special view pending storages and the number of second special view pending storages is referred to as “total pending storage number”. In the case where the number of first special figure holding storage, the number of second special drawing holding storage, and the total number of holding storage are not distinguished from each other, it is usually simply referred to as "special drawing holding number of storage". When it is referred to as “the number of storages”, it may refer to any one or two of the number of first special view pending storages, the number of second special view pending storages, and the total number of pending storages. Further, when the first start condition and the second start condition are not particularly distinguished from each other, they are also simply referred to as "start conditions" or "execution conditions". Further, when the first start condition and the second start condition are not particularly distinguished from each other, they are also simply referred to as “start conditions”. In addition, the first special view hold information and the second special view hold information are also simply referred to as "special view hold information" unless they are distinguished from each other.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B in the game area of the game board 2. The special variable winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening door driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 for a large winning opening door, and a large winning combination as a specific area which changes to an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form a mouth.

  For example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is in the OFF state, the special winning opening door closes the large winning opening, and the gaming ball can not pass the special winning opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is in the on state, the special winning opening door opens the large winning opening and makes it easy for the game ball to pass through the special winning opening. As described above, the special winning opening as the specific area is changed into an opened state in which the game ball easily passes, which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass and which is disadvantageous for the player. In place of the closed state in which the game ball can not pass through the big winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball does not easily pass through the big winning opening may be provided.

  The game ball that has passed through the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is detected by, for example, the count switch 23. Based on the detection of the game ball by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as a winning ball. Thus, when the game ball passes through the special winning opening opened in the special variable winning winning ball device 7, the game ball has passed through other winning openings such as the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when. Therefore, when the special winning prize opening is opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the game ball can pass through the special winning prize opening, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning hole is closed in the special variable winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult to get the winning ball by passing the gaming ball through the big winning hole, which is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes a state.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided on the right side of the game area in the game board 2. The first special symbol display device 4A is configured of, for example, a seven segment or a dot matrix LED (Light Emitting Diode). The same applies to the second special symbol display device 4B. The first special symbol display device 4A variably and variably displays special symbols (also referred to as "special figures") which are plural types of identification information capable of identifying each. The same applies to the second special symbol display device 4B. In addition, the special symbol (special figure) variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as the "first special view", and the special symbol (special figure) variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is " It is also called "second special view". Also, a game to be executed with variable display of identification information (or variable display of identification information itself) is referred to as a variable display game. In particular, the variable display game executed by the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a first special view game, and the variable display game executed by the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a second special view game. Moreover, when not distinguishing the 1st special figure game and the 2nd special figure game, it is also only called a "special figure game".

  The first special symbol display device 4A (same as the second special symbol display device 4B) is a special figure game, and includes a plurality of types including numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. The special symbol is displayed variably. Each special symbol is assigned a symbol number corresponding to it. For example, if each symbol number of "0" to "9" is attached with symbol number of "0" to "9" and if symbol indicating "-" is attached symbol number of "10" Good. In addition, a special symbol is not limited to what is comprised from the number which shows "0"-"9", the symbol which shows "-", etc. FIG. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns (for example, lighting patterns such as L and E of the alphabet) in which combinations of what are turned on and turned off in 7-segment LEDs are set in advance are set as special symbols. You may display it.

  A first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided above the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B in the game area of the game board 2. The first hold indicator 25A is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and the first special view hold storage number (the number of first special view game reservations) based on the hold data (first special view hold information) Pending display is performed to display identifiable. For example, the first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories so as to be identifiable by the number of LEDs to be lit. For example, if the number of reservations for the first special view game is increased by one due to the establishment of a new first start condition, the number of lights is increased by one, and the first special view game is suspended due to the establishment of a new first start condition When the number is reduced by one, the number of lights may be reduced by one. The second hold indicator 25B is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and the second special view hold storage number (the number of hold of the second special view game) based on the hold data (second special view hold information) Pending display is performed to display identifiable. For example, the second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner by the number of LEDs to be lit. For example, if the number of reservations for the second special view game is increased by one due to the establishment of a new second start condition, the number of lights is increased by one, and the second special view game is suspended due to the establishment of a new second start condition When the number is reduced by one, the number of lights may be reduced by one.

  On the left side of the game area in the game board 2, a pass gate 41, a normal symbol display 20, and a common drawing hold display 25C are provided. The game ball which has passed the passage gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21, for example. Based on the fact that the game ball which has passed the passing gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21, if the common drawing reserve memory number (described later) is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"), the normal symbol display A common drawing start condition for executing a common drawing game (described later) executed at 20 is established.

  The normal symbol display 20 is constituted by LEDs of 7 segments, a dot matrix, etc., similarly to the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. The normal symbol display 20 variably displays (variable display) an ordinary symbol (also referred to as a "common figure") that is plural types of identification information different from the special symbol. Note that a variable display game in which an ordinary symbol is variably displayed is also referred to as a common drawing game (or “normal drawing game”). In addition, the information regarding the common drawing game in which the common drawing start condition is satisfied but the common drawing start condition (described later) is not satisfied is stored (held) as holding data (general drawing holding information).

  The common drawing hold display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays, for example, the common drawing hold storage number based on the held data (general drawing hold information) according to the number of LEDs to be lit. The common drawing reserve memory number is the number of common drawing games whose execution is temporarily suspended without being executed immediately when the gaming ball having passed the passage gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21. Even if the standard drawing start condition for executing the standard drawing game is satisfied by the detection of the gaming ball by the gate switch 21, the common drawing start condition for permitting the start of the common drawing game is not satisfied ( For example, in the case where the common drawing game established earlier is in execution), the execution of the common drawing game is suspended. That is, the common drawing reserve memory number is the number of games of the common drawing game which is in the state of waiting for execution. The common drawing reserve storage number decreases by one each time one common drawing start condition is satisfied.

  Near the center of the game area on the game board 2, a display device 5 is provided. The display device 5 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display and the like, and has a display area for displaying various effect images.

  In the display area of the display device 5, a decorative symbol display area is arranged. In the decorative symbol display area, decorative symbols, which are plural types of identification information capable of identifying each, are variably displayed. The variable display of the decorative design is also included in the variable display game. The display device 5 corresponds to a first special symbol game executed by the first special symbol display device 4A or a second special symbol game executed by the second special symbol display device 4B in the decorative symbol display area. Execute variable display of the decoration pattern of.

  For example, in the display area of the display device 5, decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. In response to the start of any one of the first special view game or the second special view game, that is, the start of variation in any of the first special view or the second special view Corresponding to each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the fluctuation of the decorative symbol (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) is started. After that, corresponding to the end of the special figure game, that is, corresponding to the stop display of the special figure, in each decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R, the decorative symbol (decided decorative symbol, final stop) to be variable display result The symbol is also displayed stopped. That is, in the display area of the display device 5 (decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R), the variation of the decorative symbol is started in conjunction with the first special view game or the second special view game, and the finalized decorative symbol (final The stop symbol (also referred to as a stop symbol) is displayed in a stop state.

  The decorative symbols are, for example, eight kinds of symbols (alphanumeric characters "1" to "8" or Chinese numerals, English characters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, The character image may be, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, or a decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or any other figure) . Each decorative symbol is assigned a symbol number corresponding to it. For example, symbol numbers "1" to "8" may be attached to alphanumeric characters indicating "1" to "8". In addition, the decorative design is not limited to eight types, but may be any number as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations, such as a combination of big hit and a lost combination (for example, seven types, nine types, etc.) .

  In addition, the stop display which stops the fixed special symbol which is the variable display result of special symbol (also referred to as the special display display result) and stops the variable display, the fixed display which is the variable display result of the decorative symbol (final stop symbol Stop display to stop variable display and stop fixed display, and finalized fixed display which is a variable display result of ordinary symbol (also referred to as common drawing display result) stop display to stop variable display and complete display stop completely stop Also referred to as display, final stop display, or derived display (or simply "derived"). In addition, the fluctuation start timing and the fluctuation end timing of the decorative symbol may not necessarily coincide with the fluctuation start timing and the fluctuation end timing of the special symbol, and within the fluctuation time of the special symbol (special pattern fluctuation time), the decorative symbol The fluctuation time should be settled. That is, the change start timing of the decorative symbol may be later than the change start timing of the special symbol, or the change end timing of the special symbol may be later than the change end timing of the decorative symbol. For example, the execution of the predetermined effect may be started after the display of the finalized decorative symbol is stopped, and the finalized special symbol may be stopped when the predetermined effect is finished. An example of the effect (prereading advance notice effect (described later) of changing the pending display of the target (described later) displayed in the start winning storage display area 5H (described later) after stopping display of the determined decorative symbol is an example of the predetermined effect ).

  Moreover, you may perform stop display different from complete stop display (final stop display, derivation | leading-out display). For example, the decorative symbol may be temporarily stopped during the variable display from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when the finalized decorative symbol is derived and displayed. In addition, for the temporary stop display, the decorative symbol whose fluctuation speed is "0" is stopped and displayed while causing, for example, slight shaking or expansion or contraction, or from a predetermined time (for example, one second) For example, the display may be stopped for a short time without causing slight shaking or expansion and contraction.

  Further, in the display area of the display device 5, a first start winning storage display area 5HL and a second start winning storage display area 5HR are arranged. In the first start winning combination storage display area 5HL, as in the case of the first suspension indicator 25A, a suspension display is performed to display the first special map suspension storage number in an identifiable manner. That is, the number of first special drawing games currently suspended for execution is displayed in an identifiable manner. In the first start winning combination storage display area 5HL, as in the second suspension display 25B, a suspension display is performed to display the second special map suspension storage number in an identifiable manner. That is, the number of second special drawing games currently suspended for execution is displayed in an identifiable manner.

  In the first start winning storage display area 5HL, for example, the hold display may be performed right-justified. That is, when the number of reservations for the first special view game is increased due to the establishment of a new first start condition, if there is no other suspension display in the first start prize storage display area 5HL, the first start prize storage display area 5HL A new hold display is added as a hold display corresponding to the increased amount of the first special view hold information to the right of the (center side of the display area of the display device 5), and another hold display in the first start winning storage display area 5HL If there is, the new hold indication may be added on the left side of the other hold indication (the left side of the left hold indication if there are a plurality of other hold indications). In addition, when there are a plurality of suspension displays in the first start winning storage display area 5HL, when the number of suspension of the first special view game decreases due to the establishment of a new first start condition, the first special figure for the reduction Delete the hold display (the hold display that has been displayed since the oldest) displayed on the far right of the first start winning storage display area 5HL corresponding to the hold display corresponding to the hold information, and each of the other hold displays Move to the deleted display side (right side).

  Further, in the second start winning combination storage display area 5HR, for example, the hold display may be performed with left alignment. That is, when the number of reservations for the second special view game is increased due to the establishment of a new second start condition, if there is no other suspension indication in the second start prize storage display area 5HR, the second start prize storage display area 5HR A new hold display is added on the left side of the (the center side of the display area of the display unit 5) as a hold display corresponding to the increased second special view hold information, and another hold display in the second start winning storage display area 5HR If there is, the new hold indication may be added to the right of the other hold indication (further to the right of the right hold indication if there are multiple other hold indications). In addition, when there are a plurality of suspension displays in the second start winning storage display area 5HR, when the number of reservations of the second special view game decreases due to the establishment of a new second start condition, the second special figure for the decrease Delete the hold display (the hold display that has been displayed since the oldest) displayed on the leftmost side of the second start winning storage display area 5HR corresponding to the hold display corresponding to the hold information, and delete each of the other hold displays Move to the deleted display side (left side). When the first start winning storage display area 5HL and the second start winning storage display area 5HR are not particularly distinguished from each other, they are also simply referred to as "start winning storage display area 5H".

  In addition to the first start winning storage display area 5HL and the second starting winning storage display area 5HR, the first start winning storage display area 5HL and the second start are also displayed in the display area of the display device 5 as a pending display area. Hold display erased from the prize storage display area 5HR (that is, based on the first special map reservation information digested by the establishment of the first start condition, and the second special map reservation information digested by the establishment of the second start condition A currently reserved display area (not shown) may be arranged to display the reserved display corresponding to the variable display of the decorative pattern to be executed. For example, the currently reserved display area may be arranged between the first start winning combination storage display area 5HL and the second start winning combination storage display area 5HR.

  In the game area of the game board 2, in addition to the above configuration, a windmill and a large number of obstacle nails that change the flow direction and speed of the game ball are provided. Also, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening and the large winning opening, for example, a single or a plurality of general winning openings that are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member It may be provided. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as a winning ball based on the fact that the game ball having passed through any of the general winning openings is detected by the predetermined general winning ball switch. . At the lowermost position of the game area, an out port is provided where game balls that have not passed through any winning port are captured.

  At the lower right portion of the gaming machine frame 3 is provided a striking operation handle which is operated by a player or the like to fire a gaming ball as a gaming medium toward the gaming area. For example, the hit ball operating handle adjusts the resilience of the gaming ball in accordance with the amount of operation by the player or the like. The hitting control handle may be provided with a single-shot release switch or a touch ring for stopping the drive of the firing motor provided in the hit shooting device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, the gaming ball paid out as a winning ball and the gaming ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine can be supplied so as to be able to be supplied to the ball striking device. A plate is provided. At the lower part of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a lower tray for retaining the surplus balls and the like overflowing from the upper tray so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  To the member forming the lower tray, for example, a stick controller 31A which can be held and tilted by the player is attached at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the lower tray main body (for example, the central portion of the lower tray). It is done. The stick controller 31A includes an operating rod held by the player, and a trigger button is provided at a predetermined position of the operating rod (for example, a position where the index finger of the operating hand is applied when the player holds the operating rod). ing. The trigger button is a predetermined instruction operation by pushing and pulling with a predetermined operation finger (for example, forefinger etc.) while the player holds the operation stick of the stick controller 31A with the operation hand (for example, left hand etc.) It should just be comprised so that it can do. Inside the operating rod, a trigger sensor may be incorporated so as to detect a predetermined instruction operation such as a push-pull operation on the trigger button.

  A tilting direction sensor unit for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod may be provided inside the main body of the lower tray at the lower part of the stick controller 31A. For example, the tilt direction sensor unit may include two transmissive photosensors disposed parallel to the board of the game board 2 on the left side of the center position of the operating rod as viewed from the side of the player facing the pachinko game machine 1 If it is configured to include four transmission type photo sensors which are combined with two transmission type photo sensors disposed vertically to the face of the game board 2 on the right side of the center position of the operation stick viewed from the player's side Good.

  The member that forms the upper tray is, for example, a push button that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the upper tray body (for example, above the stick controller 31A). 31B is provided. The push button 31B may be configured to be able to mechanically, electrically or electromagnetically detect a predetermined instruction operation by the player or the like. A push sensor may be provided inside the main body of the upper tray or the like at the installation position of the push button 31B, for detecting a player's operation performed on the push button 31B.

  An audio output member is provided in the periphery of the game area of the game machine frame 3. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the speakers 8UL and 8UR are installed at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and the speakers 8LL and 8LR are installed at the lower left and right lower portions of the upper plate (the lower left and right oblique upper portions). It has been installed. Hereinafter, the speakers 8UL, 8UR, 8LL, and 8LR are simply referred to as the speakers 8 when not particularly distinguished from one another. The speaker 8 outputs a sound. For example, the speaker 8 outputs an effect sound according to the progress of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and outputs a warning sound according to the situation of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  The effect sound includes music, detection sound, response sound, notification sound and the like. The music in the effect sound is, for example, BGM, a song or the like which is output according to the progress of the game. The detection sound in the effect sound is, for example, a sound, a voice (serif, a message) or the like which is output according to a detection result by a switch or a sensor (for example, detection of winning on the first start winning opening etc). The response sound in the effect sound is, for example, a sound, a voice, or the like that is output in response to the operation performed on the push button 31B. In addition, since the operation act on the push button 31B is also detected by the push sensor, the response sound outputted in response to the operation act on the push button 31B is also a detection sound. The notification sound in the presentation sound is, for example, a sound to notify of requesting an operation action to the push button 31B, a voice, a sound to notify transition to the reach state at the time of transition of the reach state (described later), a voice or These are sounds, voices, etc. for giving notice or suggesting that the game is shifted to the big hit gaming state before shifting to the big hit gaming state.

  An example of the warning sound is a warning sound output when the game ball is excessively held in the lower tray, a warning sound output when the glass door 3B (see FIG. 2) is open, and the like.

  A light emitting member (light emitter) that emits light as effect or decoration is provided on the inside and the periphery of the game area of the game machine frame 3. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the light emitting members 9U are disposed at the upper position of the gaming machine frame 3, and the light emitting members 9SL and the light emitting members 9SR are disposed at the left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3. Hereinafter, the light emitting members 9U, 9SL, and 9SR are collectively referred to as a lamp 9 when not particularly distinguished. The lamp 9 may be configured of, for example, one or more LEDs, or may be configured of a flash lamp. The light emitting member 9U may be a rotary lamp (for example, a lamp lamp) having a rotary unit. In addition to the above, for example, various light emitting members may be installed around each structure (for example, the special variable winning prize ball device 7 etc.) in the game area.

  Although the display device 5, the speaker 8, the lamp 9 and the like described above are effect devices that execute effects, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with other effect devices such as effect models having a drive unit as effect devices. It is also good.

  In addition, the arrangement position of each configuration is an example, and may be arranged at another position. For example, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol indicator 20 may be provided on the same side (right side or left side) of the game area. Also, for example, the first hold indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, and the common view hold indicator 25C may be provided on the same side (right side portion or left side portion) of the game area.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition is satisfied after the normal drawing start condition is satisfied, the normal drawing game by the normal symbol display device 20 is started. In the regular game, after the variable display of the normal symbol is started, when a predetermined time as the common pattern change time elapses, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (common symbol per symbol) such as a number indicating “7” is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes “per common symbol”. On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed as a fixed symbol, for example, a number or symbol other than the number indicating "7", the variable display result of the normal symbol is "general symbol lost" It becomes. In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol being "per common drawing", the enlargement and release control (tilting control) in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip forming the variable winning prize ball device 6B is tilted is performed The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the establishment of the first start condition after the establishment of the first start condition, the special figure game (first special view game) by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. A special drawing game (second special drawing game) by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the establishment of the second starting condition after the starting condition is established. In the special drawing game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, when the variable display time as the special drawing fluctuation time elapses, the finalized special symbol (special drawing display result) to be the variable display result of the special symbol is derived and displayed. . At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined special symbol, it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes "small hit" as a predetermined display result. In addition, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is displayed as a final symbol as a final symbol, it will be a "loss".

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as "round game") is executed a predetermined number of times. After the variable display result in the special view game becomes "small hit", it is controlled to a small hit gaming state as a special gaming state different from the big hit gaming state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, the special symbol indicating the numbers "3", "5", "7" is the big hit symbol, the special symbol indicating the number "2" is the small hit symbol, and the symbol "-" The special symbol showing is a lost symbol. In addition, each symbol such as big hit symbol, small hit symbol and lost symbol in the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is different from each symbol in the second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B. The symbol may be a symbol, or the special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a lost symbol.

  After the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game and becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, in the big hit gaming state, the big winning opening door of the special variable winning ball device 7, predetermined upper limit time The big winning opening is opened in a period until (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) elapses, or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of winning balls are generated. As a result, a round is performed in which the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is put into the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player.

  The special winning opening door with the big winning opening opened during execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then the special winning opening is closed, thereby the special variable winning winning ball device 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15” or the like). In addition, even if the number of times of execution of the round reaches the upper limit number of times, execution of the round may be ended by establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, that the game ball did not win at the big winning opening etc). Good.

  Among the rounds in the jackpot gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time for making the special variable winning prize ball device 7 the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is a relatively long time (for example, 29 seconds etc.) is usually Also known as the open round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time for making the special variable winning prize ball device 7 in the first state (open state) is a relatively short time (for example, 0.1 second) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  Of the special symbols showing the numbers of "3", "5" and "7" that will be the big hit symbols, the special symbols showing the numbers of "3" and "7" are normally open round big hit symbols, and the numbers of "5" The special symbol indicating is a short-term open round jackpot symbol. In the big hit gaming state (usually open big hit state) as a normal opening round specific gaming state controlled after a normal opening round big hit symbol is derived as a finalized special symbol in a special figure game, a special winning prize ball device of the special variable winning prize ball device 7 The big winning opening is opened in a period until the door passes a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) which is the first period, or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of winning balls are generated. By setting it as the state, a round to change the special variable winning prize ball device 7 to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is performed. In addition, a normally open big hit state is also referred to as a first specified gaming state.

  In the jackpot gaming state (short-term opening jackpot state) as a short-term opening round specific gaming state controlled after the short-term opening round big hit symbol is derived as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game, the special variable winning ball device 7 in each round The second period (for example, the upper limit time for changing to the first state advantageous to the player) (the upper limit of the period during which the large winning opening is opened by the large winning opening door) is shorter than the first period in the normal opening big hit state 0.1 seconds). In the short-term open big hit state, the open period of the big winning opening may be controlled to be the second period, and the other control may be performed in the same manner as the normal open big hit state. Alternatively, in the short-term open big hit state, the number of rounds executed may be the second round number (for example, "2") smaller than the first round number (for example, "15") in the normal open big-hit state Good.

  In such a short-term open jackpot state, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of winning balls can be obtained if the gaming ball is won in the big winning opening. However, the opening period of the special winning opening is the second period (0.1 second, etc.), which is very short. Therefore, the short-term open jackpot state is a jackpot gaming state in which a winning ball can not be obtained substantially. In addition, the short-term opening big hit state is also referred to as a second specified gaming state.

  Also, the big hit gaming state as the short opening round specified gaming state is not limited to the one having a short opening time of the big winning opening compared to the big hit gaming state as the normal opening round specified gaming state, for example, the large winning opening While the opening period (upper limit time) is the same for the short opening round specified gaming state and the normal opening round specified playing state, the upper limit number of times to open the big winning opening in the short opening round specified gaming state (for example, twice ) May be less than the upper limit number of times (for example, 15 times) in the normal opening round specific gaming state. That is, in the big hit gaming state as the short-term opening round specific gaming state, the period for changing the big winning opening to the first state where the gaming ball easily passes in each round is shorter than the first period in the normal opening round specific gaming state It may be at least one of the two periods and the second round number in which the number of times of execution of the round is smaller than the first round number in the normal opening specific game state.

  After the special symbol indicating the small hit symbol "2" is derived as the determined special symbol in the special figure game, the small hit gaming state as the special gaming state is controlled. In this small hit gaming state, similarly to the short-term open big hit state, a variable winning operation is performed to change the large winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 to a first state (open state) advantageous to the player. That is, in the small hit gaming state, for example, the operation of setting the special variable winning prize ball device 7 in the first state (open state) for the second period is repeatedly executed.

  In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R arranged in the display area of the display device 5, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B In response to any one of the special drawing games being started, variable display of the decorative symbol is started. Then, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the variable display state of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach in a period from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when variable display is ended by stop display of the decorative symbol. It may be in a state.

  In the reach state, when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the display area of the display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the display state in which the variation continues for the decorative pattern not displayed stopped yet A display state in which all or some or all of the decorative symbols are fluctuating in synchronization while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination.

  Also, in response to the reaching state, the variation speed of the decorative symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the decorative symbol is displayed in the display area of the display device 5 By changing the display mode of the background image, reproducing the moving image different from the decorative pattern, or changing the fluctuation mode of the decorative pattern, a different rendering operation than before reaching the reach state is executed. May be Such a presentation operation as a character image display or a change in the display mode of the background image, a reproduction display of a moving image, a change in the variation pattern of the decorative pattern, etc. is called reach effect. In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the display device 5 but also the sound output operation by the speaker 8 and the light emission operation (lighting operation, blinking operation, extinguishing operation) of the lamp 9 etc. An operation mode different from the operation mode may be included.

  As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of effect patterns having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. Then, depending on the effect pattern, the possibility that the big hit combination etc. will be finally stopped and displayed after the reach effect may be made different (also referred to as the “big hit expectation”). As a result, it is possible to make the jackpot expectation different depending on which one of the plurality of reach effects is performed, that is, depending on which reach effect is to appear. For example, in the present embodiment, the reach mode of the normal reach and the reach mode of the super reach having a high hit probability compared to the normal reach are set in advance.

  In addition, the jackpot expectation degree is, for example, (probability that the effect is executed at the time of big hit) × (probability of becoming the big hit) / {(probability that the effect is executed at the time of big hit) × (probability of becoming the big hit) + (big hit It is calculated by the probability that the effect is executed other than time) × (probability of not being a big hit)} (when the big hit expectation is “1”, the variable display result is always a “big hit”).

  In addition, during the variable display of the decorative symbol, as one aspect of the variable display effect, it is possible to execute a slip effect, a pseudo continuous effect, or the like which is realized by a variable display operation such as the decorative symbol. In the slip effect, a plurality of decorative symbol display areas (for example, "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, etc. are made after the decorative symbol is changed in all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Of the decorative symbol display area (for example, “1” or “2”) of the decorative symbol display areas (for example, “left”) among the decorative symbol display areas displayed temporarily. After changing the decoration pattern again in the decoration pattern display area 5L and the “right” decoration pattern display area 5R), the stop display is performed, and the effect display for changing the decoration pattern to be stopped is displayed. It will be. Thus, in the slip effect, a plurality of decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed for a predetermined number of decorative symbols after variable display of the decorative symbols is started until the finalized decorative symbols as variable display results are derived and displayed. There are times when the variable display state of the decorative symbol changes to the reach state by executing the display again, and when the decorative symbol that constitutes the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed without reaching the reach state.

  In the pseudo-series effect, in response to one of the first start condition and the second start condition of the special drawing game being met once, the fixed display that becomes the variable display result after the variable display of the decorative pattern is started All decorative symbols (for example, predetermined pseudo chance chance eyes etc.) are temporarily displayed on all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R until the symbols are derived and displayed. Effect display can be performed a predetermined number of times (for example, up to three times at maximum) in which the decorative pattern is again changed (simulated continuous change) in the display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The number of times of pseudo continuous change is the decorative pattern in all of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R except for the first change from the start of the variable display of the decorative pattern to the temporary stop of all the decorative patterns at first. Is the number of times it changes again. In the simulated rendition, by performing the simulated reciprocation (re-variation) once to three times, based on the first start condition or the second start condition being met once, as if the variable display of the decorative symbol is twice It can appear as if it was started four times in a row.

  The slip effect (as well as the pseudo effect) is a notice or suggestion to the player that any reach effect or a certain reach effect may be executed, and that the big hit expectation is high. It is also good. Hereinafter, a presentation for giving notice or suggesting to a player that there is a possibility that any reach presentation or a certain reach presentation may be executed, a high hit probability, and the like may be collectively referred to as a notice presentation. The advance notice may include a variable display operation different from the slip effect and the pseudo effect, in addition to the slip effect and the pseudo effect, for example, the display of the background image and the display of the message window. There may be one that uses a rendering operation different from the variable display production, such as hold display, voice output, light emission (lighting, blinking, extinguishing), and the like.

  It should be noted that the advance notice effect may be performed before the player can determine (actually check) whether the contents of the advance notice or the notice suggested by the advance notice effect are realized (actually confirmed). For example, the notice effect for notifying the player that there is a possibility that the variable display state of the decorative symbol by the winning of a certain game ball may reach the reach state is at least the variable display state of the decorative symbol by the winning of the gaming ball is reachable It may be executed before the state or the non-reach state. In addition, the notice effect for notifying the player that there is a possibility that the variable display result by the winning of a certain game ball will be a "big hit" is at least the finalized decoration symbol by the winning of the game ball is stopped and displayed It may be something that is executed before.

  Among the preview effects, it is only necessary to include those that become the advance read preview effects. The pre-reading advance notice effect includes the variable display which becomes the notice target whether the variable display which becomes the notice target becomes the reach state and whether the variable display result of the variable display which becomes the notice target becomes the “big hit”. It is judged (prefetched) based on the hold information (special map hold information) of the variable display to be the notice object before starting, and the variable display to be the notice object may reach the reach state based on the judgment result or It is an advance notice effect that the player is notified or suggested that the possibility that the variable display result of the variable display to be the advance notice target will be a "big hit" etc. before starting the variable display to be the advance notice target. In the following description, the prefetched special view hold information is also referred to as hold information (hold data) of the target, and variable display (variable display to be notified) of the target corresponding to hold information (hold data) of the target is variable display Also, the hold display corresponding to the target hold information is also referred to as target hold display.

  When a special symbol to be a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a determined special symbol in the special drawing game, after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, the variable display of the decorative symbol does not reach the reach state In some cases, the finalized decoration pattern that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display mode of the decorative symbol is referred to as a "non-reach" variable display mode when the variable display result is "loss".

  When the special symbol to be the lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a final symbol in the special figure game, the variable symbol state of the decorative symbol is reached after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started. Depending on the situation, after the reach effect is performed, the finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined reach loss combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display result of a decorative symbol is referred to as a variable display mode of "reach" (also referred to as "reach loss") when the variable display result is "loss".

  Among the special symbols that are normally open round big hit symbols as special symbols determined in special drawing games, when the normal big hit symbols such as the special symbols showing the number “3” are stopped and displayed, the variable display state of the decorative symbol is In response to the reaching state, after a predetermined reach effect is performed, etc., a determined decoration that becomes a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as "non-probable variation big hit combination") among a plurality of types of big hit combinations The symbol is displayed stopped. The predetermined normal big hit combination is, for example, a combination in which the same kind of normal symbols are aligned on the predetermined effective line (for example, a straight line in the horizontal direction) formed by the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R and the final stop is displayed. is there. An example of a normal symbol is an even-numbered symbol number "2", "4", "6", "8" among four kinds of decorative symbols "1" to "8". It is.

  In response to the finalized special symbol in the special figure game becoming a big hit symbol usually, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, etc., the variable display mode of the decorative symbol in which the fixed decorative symbol of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed is A variable display mode (also referred to as a "big hit type") of "non-probability change" (also referred to as a "usually big hit") when the variable display result is a "big hit" is referred to. Based on the variable display result becoming "big hit" in the big hit type of "non-deterministic change", it is controlled to the normally open big hit state, and after that, time shortening control (time saving control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the variable display time (special figure fluctuation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. The normal state is a normal gaming state different from the specific gaming state such as the big hit gaming state etc., and the initialization state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (eg, initialization after power on as in the case of system reset) The same control as in the state where the process is performed is performed. In the time-saving control, any of the following conditions is satisfied first: a special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the end of the big hit gaming state, and the variable display result is "big hit". When you do, you should finish.

  Among the special symbols that are normally open round big hit symbols as special symbols determined in the special drawing game, when the probability variation big hit symbols such as the special symbols indicating the number “7” are stopped and displayed, the variable display state of the decorative symbol is Corresponding to reaching the reach state, after a reach effect similar to the case where the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "normal" is performed, etc., a predetermined probability variation big hit combination among a plurality of types of big hit combinations The finalized decorative design may be stopped and displayed. In other words, in the special figure game, when the probability variation big hit symbol is displayed in the final stop, the decoration symbol in the predetermined probability variation big hit combination is finally stopped, and the decoration symbol in the predetermined regular big hit combination is stopped display There are cases where The predetermined probability variation jackpot combination is, for example, a combination in which the same kind of probability variation symbols are aligned on the effective line and the final stop is displayed. An example of the odd variation design is an ornament pattern having an odd number “1”, “3”, “5” and “7” among eight kinds of symbol designs “1” to “8”. It is.

  Regardless of whether the finalized decoration design is usually a big hit combination or a positive variation big hit combination, the variable display mode in which the positive variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, the variable display result is "big hit" It is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as a “big hit type”) of “probability change” in a case. Based on the variable display result becoming "big hit" in the big hit type of "probability change", it is controlled to the normally open big hit state, and after that, probability fluctuation control (probability change control) is performed together with time saving control. By performing the probability change control, the probability that the variable display result (special view display result) becomes a "big hit" in the special view game of each time is improved to be higher than that in the normal state. The probability change control may be ended when the condition that the variable display result becomes "big hit" after the end of the big hit gaming state and the big hit gaming state is controlled again is satisfied. As in the case of the time saving control, the probability change control may be ended when the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the end of the big hit gaming state. In addition, even if the probability change control is ended when it is determined that the probability change control is to be ended in the probability change fall lottery executed each time the special figure game is started after the end of the big hit gaming state, even if the probability change control is ended. Good.

  When time saving control is performed, control to shorten the variation time (normal figure variation time) of the regular symbol in the regular figure game by the regular symbol display 20 than in the normal state, or the variation of the regular symbol in each regular figure game Control to improve the probability that the display result will be "per common view" than in the normal state, and tilt control of movable wing in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result being "per common view" The game ball is more likely to pass through the second start winning opening, such as control to make the tilt control time to perform longer than in the normal state, and control to increase the number of tilts more than in the normal state. The control that is advantageous to the player is performed by increasing the possibility of being established. As described above, the control that facilitates the game ball to pass through the second start winning opening with the time saving control and is advantageous for the player is also referred to as high open control. As high open control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed.

  By performing the high open control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening is in the wide open state is increased more than when the high open control is not performed. Therefore, the second start condition for executing the second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is easily established, and the second special figure game can be executed frequently, so that the next variable display result The time until the "big hit" is reduced. The period during which the high release control can be performed is also referred to as a high release control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time saving control is performed.

  The game state in which time saving control and high opening control are performed together is also referred to as time saving state or high base state. Also, the gaming state in which the probability change control is performed is also referred to as the probability change state or the high probability state. The gaming state in which time saving control and high opening control are performed together with the probability variation control is also referred to as a high probability high base state. A probability change state in which only the probability change control is performed and time reduction control or high open control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. It should be noted that only the gaming state in which time saving control and high open control are performed together with probability variation control may be referred to as a "probability state", and in order to be distinguished from high probability low base status, it may also be referred to as a time reduction probability variation state. On the other hand, the high probability low base state may be referred to as a time-saving non-deterministic state to distinguish it from the high probability high base state. The short time state in which time saving control or high open control is performed without performing the probability change control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability change control nor the time saving control nor the high open control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of time saving control and probability variation control is performed in a gaming state other than the normal state, the second special figure game can be executed frequently, and in each time of the first special figure game and the second special figure game By increasing the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit", it is advantageous for the player. A game state advantageous to a player different from the big hit game state is also referred to as a special game state.

  When the short-term open round jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a special symbol indicating the number “5” as a finalized special symbol in a special drawing game, and the small hitting symbol such as a special symbol indicating a number “2” is stopped and displayed. In some cases, the variable display state of the decorative symbol does not reach the reach state, and one of the combinations of a plurality of fixed decorative symbols predetermined as the opening chance may be stopped and displayed. Further, when the short-term opening round big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game, a predetermined reach effect is executed corresponding to the change display state of the decorative symbol being in the reach state. After, for example, the finalized decoration pattern which is a predetermined reach combination may be stopped and displayed.

  The variable display mode of the decorative symbol in which various finalized decorative symbols are stopped and displayed corresponding to the finalized special symbol in the special figure game becoming the short-term opening round big hit symbol is when the variable display result is "big hit" It is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as a "big hit type") of "probable". Based on the fact that the variable display result is "big hit" in the "big hit" jackpot type of "probable", it is controlled to a short-term open big hit state, and after that, it is sufficient to perform probability change control together with time saving control.

  The small hit symbol such as the special symbol indicating the number "2" is stopped and displayed as a final symbol in the special drawing game, and the variable display result is controlled to the small hit gaming state based on the "small hit". After the end, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled before the variable display result is "small hit". However, when the special view game in which the variable display result is "small hit" is executed, if the number of times the special view game has been executed in the special gaming state has reached a predetermined number, after the small hit gaming state ends, The special gaming state may end and be in the normal state.

  During the variable display of the decorative symbol that the finalized decorative symbol becomes the non-probable variation big hit combination or the positive variation big hit combination, the re-lottery effect may be executed. For example, as a re-lottery effect, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, after temporarily displaying a decorative symbol that is usually a big hit combination, it is changed again with the same decorative symbol aligned, One of the decorative symbol (probable variation symbol) and the decorative symbol (normal symbol) that is usually a big hit combination may be displayed as the finalized decorative symbol at the final stop.

  Usually, after the determined decoration symbol that will be a big hit combination is derived and displayed, during the execution of the round at the start of the big hit gaming state or in the big hit gaming state, in the big hit gaming state, the next round after one round is over The period until it starts, the period from the end of the last round in the big hit game state to the start of the next variable display game, etc., the jackpot that will be a definite change notification effect of whether to control in a definite change state or not The middle promotion effect may be executed. Note that the same notification effect as the jackpot promotion promotion may be executed during the first variable display game after the end of the jackpot gaming state or the like. The jackpot promotion promotion that is executed after the final round in the jackpot gaming state may be referred to in particular as "ending promotion promotion".

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main substrate 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101 for storing a game control program, fixed data, etc., and the game control RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 for providing a work area, CPU 103 for executing a control operation by executing a program for game control, and random number circuit 104 for updating numerical data indicating a random number independently of CPU 103 , I / O (Input / Output port) 105.

  For example, in the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101 to execute processing for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. At this time, a fixed data read operation in which the CPU 103 reads fixed data from the ROM 101, a variable data write operation in which the CPU 103 writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 102 and temporarily stores it, and various fluctuation data temporarily stored in the RAM 102 by the CPU 103 Data reading operation to read out the data, reception operation in which the CPU 103 receives input of various signals from the outside of the gaming control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105, to the outside of the gaming control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105 Also, a transmission operation for outputting various signals is performed.

  The ROM 101 of the game control microcomputer 100 stores various data used to control the progress of the game, in addition to the program for game control. For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables and the like prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. The ROM 101 also includes data (for example, information for specifying the content of control commands) constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11. The data etc. which comprise various tables, such as a figure display result determination table, a big hit classification determination table, a fluctuation category determination table, etc. are stored.

  The first special view display result determination table is a big hit with the variable display result as a “big hit” before the finalized special symbol to be the variable display result is derived and displayed in the first special view game by the first special symbol display device 4A. Reference is made to determine based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special view display result whether or not to control to the gaming state and whether to control the variable display result to the small hit gaming state as "small hit". Table. The second special view display result determination table is a big hit with the variable display result as a "big hit" before the finalized special symbol as a variable display result is derived and displayed in the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Reference is made to determine based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special view display result whether or not to control to the gaming state and whether to control the variable display result to the small hit gaming state as "small hit". Table.

  In the first special view display result determination table, the special view display result according to whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state or the short time state (low probability state) or the positive change state (high probability state). The numerical value to be compared with the random number value for determination (decision value. Also referred to as determination value. Hereinafter, the same applies to other random values.) It is assigned. In the second special view display result determination table, a random number value for special view display result determination depending on whether the gaming state is a normal state or a short time state (low probability state) or a positive change state (high probability state). The numerical value (decision value) to be compared with is assigned to the special map display result of "big hit" or "loss".

  In each of the first special view display result determination table and the second special view display result determination table, when the gaming state is a probability change state (high probability state), from the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) Many decision values are assigned to the "big hit" special map display results. As a result, in the probability change state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is a "big hit" as compared with the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) The probability of being determined to control the state is high.

  In the setting example of the first special figure display result determination table 130A, the determined value in the predetermined range (value in the range of "30000" to "30350") is assigned to the "small hit" special figure display result. On the other hand, in the setting example of the second special view display result determination table 130B, the determination value is not assigned to the special view display result of "small hit". With such a setting, the second special figure game does not become a "small hit", so for example, the normally variable winning ball device 6B such as a short time state (low probability high base state) or positive change state (high probability high base state) In the game state where it is easy for the game ball to pass through the second start winning opening formed, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of "small hit" which is difficult to obtain the prize ball and to prevent the decline of the game entertaining due to the extension of the game it can.

  In addition, in the second special view display result determination table and the first special view display result determination table, determination values of different predetermined ranges may be allocated to the special view display result of “small hit”. For example, in the second special view display result determination table, a smaller determination value may be allocated to the “small hit” special view display result as compared to the first special view display result determination table. This makes it possible to avoid frequent occurrences of "small hits" in the gaming state in which the gaming ball easily passes through the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning prize ball device 6B. Alternatively, in the first special view game and the second special view game, determination of the special view display result may be performed with reference to a common special view display result determination table.

  The big hit classification determination table is to determine the big hit classification to any one of a plurality of kinds based on the random number value for the big hit classification determination when it is determined to control to the big hit gaming state with the special view display result as "big hit". It is a table to be referenced. In the big hit classification determination table, depending on whether to execute the first special figure game with the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special figure game with the second special symbol display device 4B, for the big hit classification decision A numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR2 is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpot types such as “non-probability variation”, “probability variation”, and “probability”.

  Further, the ROM 101 stores a variation category determination table which is referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of variation categories. Specifically, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of variation category determination tables that are different from one another in the types of variation categories that can be determined in the variation category determination table, the determination ratio of each category, and the like. In the variation category determination table, each of the variation categories is assigned a numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR3 for determination of the variation category. That is, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of variation category determination tables in which the determined values (for example, the range and the number of the determined values, etc.) assigned to at least one variation category among the plurality of variation categories are different from each other ing. Note that one large change category determination table including information of all the change category determination tables may be stored in the ROM 101 instead of the plurality of change category determination tables.

  Further, the ROM 101 stores a fluctuation pattern determination table to be referred to in order to determine the fluctuation pattern as any one of a plurality of types. Specifically, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of fluctuation pattern determination tables that are different from one another in the types of fluctuation patterns that can be determined in the fluctuation pattern determination table and the determination ratio of each. In the fluctuation pattern determination table, numerical values (decision values) to be compared with the random value MR5 for fluctuation pattern determination are assigned to each of the fluctuation patterns. That is, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of variation pattern determination tables that differ from one another among the plurality of types of variation patterns, wherein the determined values (for example, the range and the number of the determined values) assigned to at least one variation pattern are different. ing. Note that, instead of the plurality of variation pattern determination tables, one large variation pattern determination table may be stored in the ROM 101 including information of each variation pattern determination table.

(2) Description of Operation Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
A. Description of basic operations related to gaming On the main substrate 11, when the power supply from the power supply unit 1600 of the power supply substrate 16 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 performs predetermined processing to be the gaming control main processing. To be executed. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after executing the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 12 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening via the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S12). Thereafter, by executing predetermined information output processing, for example, data such as big hit information, start information, probability fluctuation information and the like supplied to the hole management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output ( Step S13).

  Subsequent to the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the random value (game random number) used on the main substrate 11 side by software is executed (step S14). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S15). In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the display device 4B, opening / closing operation setting of the special winning opening in the special variable winning prize ball device 7 and the like in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process processing, a normal symbol process processing is executed (step S16). The CPU 103 controls the display operation (for example, lighting and extinguishing of the segment LED, etc.) in the normal symbol display 20 by executing the normal symbol process processing, and the variable display of the normal symbol and the normal variable winning ball device 6B It enables tilting operation setting and the like of the movable wing piece.

  After executing the normal symbol process processing, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process (step S17). For example, in the command control process, among the output ports included in the I / O 105 corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table designated by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, the effect control board After setting control data in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to 12 and then setting predetermined control data in the output port of the effect control INT signal, the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. The transmission of the effect control command based on the setting in the command transmission table is enabled by switching to the OFF state or the like. After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is ended after setting to the interrupt enabled state.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when receiving the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply board 16 or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 13 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12 Performs register settings etc. of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S72). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the register setting of the CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S72; No), the process of step S72 is repeatedly performed and the process waits.

  Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command or the like from the main board 11 occurs separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time has elapsed. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. If an interrupt occurs because the effect control INT signal is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable state, but interrupts using the CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state. It is desirable to issue a prohibited instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt processing, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, control to be a rendering control command or the like from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 Capture the signal.

  The effect control command fetched at this time is stored, for example, in a effect control command reception buffer provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194. For example, when the effect control command has a 2-byte configuration, the first byte (MODE) and the second byte (EXT) are sequentially received and stored in the effect control command reception buffer. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on at step S72 (step S72; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be off (step S73), and command analysis processing is executed (step S74). In the command analysis process executed in step S74, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, Settings, control, and the like corresponding to the read effect control command are performed.

  After the command analysis process is performed in step S74, an effect control process process is performed (step S75). In the effect control process of step S75, various effect devices such as display operation of effect image in display area of display device 5, sound output operation from speaker 8, light emission operation of lamp 9, drive operation of effect model, etc. With regard to the control content of the rendering operation using the above, determination, determination, setting, and the like according to the rendering control command and the like transmitted from the main substrate 11 are performed.

  Following the effect control process of step S75, effect random number updating process is executed (step S76), and the effect random number is counted by the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193 as various random number values used for effect control. The numerical data representing the is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S72.

B. Description of Operation Regarding Generation of Power Supply Voltage When the game board 2 is attached to the gaming machine frame 3 and the power switch SW1 shown in FIG. 5 is turned on, between the first slot CN11 and the second slot CN12 in the input terminal CN1. The alternating current power of the alternating current power supply AC applied to is supplied to the first full wave rectification circuit 16091 and the second full wave rectification circuit 16092 of the rectification unit 1609 via the common mode choke coil CL1. The first full wave rectification circuit 16091 and the second full wave rectification circuit 16092 full wave rectify the alternating current power from the alternating current power supply AC to supply a direct current voltage to the first variable power supply unit 1610A and the second variable power supply unit 1610B. .

  The first integrated circuit IC1 and the second integrated circuit IC2 of the first variable power supply unit 1610A step down the DC voltage applied from the first full-wave rectifier circuit 16091, in this case, step down 24 V DC to 12 V DC and 5 V DC respectively. . The voltages stepped down by the first integrated circuit IC1 and the second integrated circuit IC2 are both outputted to the second output terminal CN2 and the fifth output terminal CN5 of the power supply output unit 1613, and the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, The lamp control board 14 is supplied to a board mainly involved in effect control.

  The third integrated circuit IC3 and the fourth integrated circuit IC4 of the second variable power supply unit 1610B step down the DC voltage applied from the second full-wave rectifier circuit 16092, in this case, step down 24 V DC to 12 V DC and 5 V DC respectively. . The voltages stepped down by the third integrated circuit IC3 and the fourth integrated circuit IC4 are both output to the third output terminal CN3 and the fourth output terminal CN4 of the power supply output unit 1613, and the main substrate 11, the payout control substrate 37, etc. It is supplied to a substrate mainly involved in game control.

  In addition, when the high voltage backflow occurs through the output terminal, the backflow prevention unit 1611 causes the high voltage backflow to reach the rectifying unit 1609, the power supply input unit 1608, and the like, in particular, the second full-wave rectifier circuit 16092. To prevent. If a problem occurs in the voltage supplied to a board involved in game control such as the main board 11 or the payout control board 37 by the backflow voltage reaching the second full-wave rectifier circuit 16092, it may hinder the progress of the game, By suppressing the arrival of the backflow voltage to the second full-wave rectifier circuit 16092, it is possible to suppress the failure of the voltage supplied to the substrate involved in the game control.

  The power failure detection unit 1612 detects a power failure when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like. When a power failure is detected, the charged electric power or the like is used for each capacitor to supply a voltage until backup of the game state or the like is performed. By performing such backup voltage supply, it is possible to alleviate the problems in the event of a power failure.

  In the first embodiment described above, the power supply substrate 16 in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with the first full-wave rectifier circuit 16091 and the second full-wave rectifier circuit 16092 and the first variable power circuit 16101. There is a transformation region X3 in which the fourth to fourth variable power supply circuits 16104 are provided. Further, the power supply substrate 16 has an input area X1 in which the power input portion 1608 is provided and an output area X4 in which the power output portion 1613 is provided. The rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3 are disposed between the input area X1 and the output area X4. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3 from expanding too much. Therefore, the size of the power supply substrate 16 can be made compact.

  In addition, the power switch SW1 is disposed in the vicinity of the power input unit 1608. Therefore, noise due to the power switch SW1 and the power input unit 1608 is reduced. Furthermore, the third capacitor C3 to the seventh capacitor C7 and the like are disposed between the rectification region X2 and the transformation region X3. For this reason, the noise of the capacitor | condenser by 3rd capacitor | condenser C3-7th capacitor | condenser C7 grade | etc., Can be reduced.

  Further, the first transformation region X31 provided with the first integrated circuit IC1 and the second integrated circuit IC2 and the second transformation region X32 provided with the third integrated circuit IC3 and the fourth integrated circuit IC4 have a rectification region X2 and an output. It is arranged between the regions X4. Therefore, the arrangement positions of the first integrated circuit IC1 to the fourth integrated circuit IC4 can be prevented from being expanded excessively, so that the size of the power supply substrate 16 can be made compact. Further, the electronic component is not disposed on the lower end side of the base 16A of the power supply substrate 16 than the position where the first integrated circuit IC1 is provided. For this reason, the first integrated circuit IC1 hardly absorbs the heat from the other electronic components and easily touches the outside air and the like, so that the heat is efficiently dissipated.

  Further, the first rectification region X21 and the first transformation region X31, and the second rectification region X22 and the second transformation region X32 are arranged in parallel. Furthermore, the first variable power supply circuit 16101 (first integrated circuit IC1) and the second variable power supply circuit 16102 (second integrated circuit IC2) in the first transformation region X31, and the third variable power supply circuit 16103 (the first transformation region X32) A third integrated circuit IC3) and a fourth variable power supply circuit 16104 (fourth integrated circuit IC4) are arranged in parallel. Therefore, the first full wave rectification circuit 16091 and the first variable power supply circuit 16101 and the second variable power supply circuit 16102, the second full wave rectification circuit 16092 and the third variable power supply circuit 16103 and the fourth variable power supply circuit 16104 are connected in parallel. It is arranged. Therefore, the size of the power supply substrate 16 can be made compact because these circuits can be prevented from spreading too much.

  Further, the rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3 are formed between the input area X1 and the output area X4 respectively formed at both ends of the horizontally long base material 16A. For this reason, since the area | region which forms rectification | straightening area | region X2 and transformation area | region X3 is securable in the wide range on the base material 16A, the area | region which provides rectification area | region X2 and transformation area X3 is fully securable.

  Further, the power supplied to the input area X1 is rectified by the rectification area X2, supplied to the transformation area X3, and further supplied to the output area. At this time, the rectification region X2 is formed at a position closer to the input region X1 than the transformation region X3, and the transformation region 3 is formed at a position closer to the output region X4 than the rectification region X2. For this reason, since the input area X1, the rectification area X2, the transformation area X3 and the output area X4 are formed in the order in which the power is supplied, it is possible to suppress the wiring of the power supply from being complicated.

  In addition, in the rectification region X2, a first full wave rectification circuit 16091 (sixth integrated circuit IC6) and a second full wave rectification circuit 16092 (a first Schottky barrier diode SD1) are provided as two rectification circuits, The first variable power supply circuit 16101 to the fourth variable power supply circuit 16104 (the first integrated circuit IC1 to the fourth integrated circuit IC4) are provided in the region X3 as four transformer circuits larger than the rectification region X2. At this time, since the area occupied by the transformation region X3 is wider than the area occupied by the rectification region X2, many circuits can be easily disposed in the transformation region X3.

  In the first embodiment, the rectification area X2 is formed near the input area X1 and the transformation area X3 is formed near the output area X4, but the transformation area X3 is formed near the input area X1. The rectification region X2 may be formed near the output region X4. Moreover, although the rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3 are arranged in series between the input area X1 and the output area X4, both the rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3 are horizontally long, so to say, arranged in parallel It may be done.

  When the rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3 are arranged in parallel. In the rectification area X2 and the transformation area X3, a plurality of rectification circuits and transformation circuits are provided in parallel. At this time, the sizes of the rectifier circuits and the transformer circuits arranged in the vertical direction may be balanced. The balance here means that the size of both is constant. For example, when the rectifier circuit is large, a small transformer circuit may be disposed. When the sizes of the plurality of rectifier circuits are different, the size of the arranged rectifier circuit may be gradually increased or decreased as the input area is shifted to the output area. . When the size of the rectifier circuit gradually increases or decreases as it moves from the input area to the output area, the size of the transformer circuit reverses from the input area to the output area. Therefore, it may be made to be gradually smaller or larger. As described above, by balancing the sizes of the rectifier circuit and the transformer circuit arranged in the vertical direction, the rectifier circuit and the transformer circuit can be prevented from spreading too much, so the size of the power supply substrate 16 can be made compact. .

  Moreover, although the rectification | straightening area | region X2 and the transformation area | region X3 are put together into one, respectively, these may be disperse | distributed to plurality and may be arrange | positioned. For example, they may be alternately arranged in series as a rectification area, a transformation area, a rectification area, a transformation area, etc. in order from the side of the input area X1. In addition, instead of being arranged in series, they may be arranged in parallel, or may be arranged, for example, in a staggered arrangement or the like.

  Moreover, although the input area X1 and the output area X4 are formed in the both ends of the base material 16A, you may be formed in positions other than both ends. Also in this case, the rectifying area X2 and the transformation area X3 may be disposed between the input area X1 and the output area X4. Further, in the case where the rectification region X2 and the transformation region X3 are dispersed and disposed in a plurality, at least a part of the rectification region and the transformation region may be disposed between the input region X1 and the output region X4. Also, a plurality of input areas X1 and output areas X4 or any one of them may be provided. Even in this case, the rectification region and the transformation region may be formed between any of the plurality of input regions X1 and output regions X4.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the area occupied by the transformation region X3 is wider than the area occupied by the rectification region X2, but the area occupied by the transformation region X3 and the rectification region X2 may be the same. The rectification region X2 may occupy a larger area than the transformation region X3. When a plurality of rectification regions X2 and transformation regions X3 are formed and distributed, the area occupied by the dispersed rectification regions and transformation regions may be either the same or the same. May be

  The main control unit 241 repeatedly loops the processing according to the control state until the detection states of the various switches connected to the game control board 240 change as the basic processing, and according to the change in the detection states of the various switches Execute the process of migrating in stages. Further, the main control unit 241 executes timer interrupt processing (main) at fixed time intervals (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment). The execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the combined time of the process to be repeated depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). Therefore, at least the processing repeated according to the control state is always performed between the current and the next timer interrupt processing (main).

  The effect control board 290 is connected with effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 251, effect effect LEDs 252, speakers 253 and 254, and a reel LED 255. These effect devices are mounted on the effect control board 290 and are described later. It is driven based on the control by the unit 291.

  In the second embodiment, the sub control unit 291 mounted on the effect control board 290 controls the output of the effect apparatus such as the liquid crystal display 251, the effect LED 252, the speakers 253 and 254, and the reel LED 255. Although there is an output control unit that directly performs output control of the rendering device separately from the sub control unit 291 on the effect control board 290 or another board, the sub control unit 291 is based on a command from the main control unit 241. The output pattern of the rendering device may be determined, and the output control unit may perform output control of the rendering device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 291. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 291 and the output The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the control units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 251, the rendering effect LED 252, the speakers 253 and 254, and the reel LED 255 are illustrated as the rendering device, but the rendering device is not limited thereto. For example, a display driven mechanically A device or a mechanically driven combination may be applied as the rendering device.

  The effect control board 290 is constituted by a microcomputer having a sub CPU 291a, a ROM 291b, a RAM 291c, and an I / O port 291d, and a sub control unit 291 for controlling effects and a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 290 A display control circuit 292 for controlling the display 251, an effect LED 252, an LED drive circuit 293 for controlling the drive of the reel LED 255, an audio output circuit 294 for controlling audio output from the speakers 253 and 254, power on or sub CPU 291a The reset circuit 295 which gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 291a when the initialization command is not inputted for a predetermined time, the switch detection circuit 296 which detects a detection signal inputted from switches connected to the effect control board 290, date information and time Time information including information A clock device 297 for outputting, a power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 201, and a power failure detection circuit 298 for outputting a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub CPU 291a when a voltage drop is detected. A circuit or the like is mounted, and the sub CPU 291a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 240 to perform various controls for effecting, and each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 290. Control directly or indirectly.

  The reset circuit 295 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 249 which gives the main control section 241 a system reset signal in the game control board 240, and the sub control section 291 controls the main control when the power is turned on. It starts up earlier than the unit 241. On the other hand, the voltage detection circuit 298 has a lower voltage for outputting a voltage reduction signal than the power failure detection circuit 248 which outputs a voltage reduction signal to the main control unit 241 in the game control board 240, In this case, the sub-control unit 291 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 241, and performs a power-off process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 241, the sub control unit 291 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 241, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 241. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 291 generates an interrupt each time the number of inputs of the system clock reaches a predetermined number, that is, every predetermined time interval (about 2 ms), and executes timer interrupt processing (sub) described later.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 241, when an interrupt occurs based on the reception of a command, the sub control unit 291 interrupts the process even while timer interrupt processing (sub) is being executed. The command reception interrupt process is executed, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if an interrupt that triggers the timer interrupt process (sub) simultaneously occurs.

  Further, backup power is also supplied to the sub control unit 291 at the time of a power failure, and while the backup power is supplied, data stored in the RAM 291 c is held.

  In the slot machine 201 of the second embodiment, the payout rate of medals changes in accordance with the set value. In more detail, the payout rate of medals is changed by using the probability of winning according to the setting value in the lottery that affects the player's degree of advantage to the player such as the internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of six steps of 1 to 6, and the payout rate is the highest at 6 and the payout rate decreases as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the setting value, the degree of advantage is the highest for the player, and the degree of advantage decreases stepwise as the values become smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the setting key switch 237 and then turn on the slot machine 201. When the setting key switch 237 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 241 c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 224, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 238. Move to setting change status. In the setting change state, when the reset / setting switch 238 is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display 224 is updated one by one (when the setting value 6 is further operated, the setting value is made 1 Return). Then, when the start switch 207 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 237 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 241 c of the main control unit 241, and the state shifts to a state where the game can be progressed.

  When the setting key switch 237 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting change state may be transitioned on condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected by the door opening detection switch 225. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the setting change from being made illegally in a state where the front door 1b is not opened. Further, in the configuration to shift to the setting change state on condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected, the opening of the front door 1b is not detected by the door opening detection switch 225 after shifting to the setting change state. Also, it is preferable to maintain the setting change state, so that even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting change, the setting change is not necessary, and the setting change is not required. The operation is not complicated. Further, after transitioning to the setting change state, when the setting key switch 237 is turned off after the start switch 207 is operated and the setting value is decided, the door opening detection switch 225 detects that the front door 1b is open. Under such conditions, the setting change state may be ended and the game may proceed to a progressing state. Even in such a configuration, the setting change may be illegal without the front door 1b being opened. It can prevent being done.

  Further, in order to confirm the setting value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 237 may be turned on in a state where the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 237 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read from the RAM 241 c is displayed on the setting value display unit 224, whereby the setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed is entered. In the setting confirmation state, the game can not be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 237 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended, and the game can be returned to the state where it can be progressed.

In addition, when the setting key switch 237 is turned on with the number of bets set after the game is over, setting is made on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected by the door opening detection switch 225. It may be configured to shift to the confirmation state, and with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being checked illegally in a state where the front door 1b is not opened.
Further, in the configuration to shift to the setting confirmation state on condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected, the opening of the front door 1b is not detected by the door opening detection switch 225 after shifting to the setting confirmation state. Also, it is preferable to maintain the setting confirmation state, whereby even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting confirmation, the setting confirmation state is not required again, and the setting confirmation The operation is not complicated. Further, after transitioning to the setting confirmation state, when the setting key switch 237 is turned off after the start switch 207 is operated and the setting value is decided, the door opening detection switch 225 detects that the front door 1b is open. Under such conditions, the setting confirmation state may be ended to return to a state in which the game can be progressed, and even in such a configuration, the setting value is improperly set when the front door 1b is not opened. It can prevent that it is confirmed.

  In the slot machine 201 of the second embodiment, the main control unit 241 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 248 is detected each time the timer interrupt processing (main) is executed. Power failure judgment processing is performed, and if it is judged that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure judgment processing, power interruption processing (main) to set data for judging whether the data in RAM 241c is normal or not at the next return Run.

  Then, the main control unit 241 restores the processing state of the main control unit 241 to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 241 c on condition that the data in the RAM 241 c is normal at the time of startup. However, when the RAM 241c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control to the RAM abnormal error state, and the progress of the game is disabled.

  Further, the sub control unit 291 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 298 is detected in the timer interrupt process (sub), and determines that the voltage drop signal is detected, At the time of the next return, a power-off process (sub) is performed to set data for determining whether the data in the RAM 291c is normal.

  Then, the sub-control unit 291 restores the processing state of the sub-control unit 291 to the state before power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 291 c on condition that the data of the RAM 291 c is normal at the time of activation. However, when the data in the RAM 291c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 291c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 241, the execution of the effect is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 291c.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 291c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 291 is activated when a setting command described later indicating that the setting has been changed is received from the main control unit 241. The RAM 291c is initialized also when neither a return command nor a setting command, which indicates that the control state of the main control unit 241 has returned, is received even after a predetermined time has passed. Also in this case, the execution of the effect is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 291c.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 241 c of the main control unit 241 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 241 c of the main control unit 241 is divided into important work, non-saved work, general work, special work, unused area, and stack area.

  In the second embodiment, when a RAM abnormal error occurs, when the setting key switch 237 is activated with the setting key switch 237 turned on, when CB ends, when the setting key switch 237 is activated with the setting data switch 237 turned off, data in the RAM 241 c Is not destroyed, and when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four different types of initialization are performed according to the respective initialization conditions.

  The initialization 1 is a state in which the setting key switch 237 is in the on state at the time of startup and the initialization is performed prior to the transition to the setting change state, or when the RAM abnormal error occurs. The areas other than the important work and the special work in the storage area of the RAM 241c are initialized. The initialization 2 is an initialization performed at the end of the CB. In the initialization 2, the general work, the unused area and the unused stack area among the storage areas of the RAM 241 c are initialized. The initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 237 is off at startup and the data in the RAM 241 c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, non-saved work, unused area and unused area The used stack area is initialized. The initialization 4 is performed at the end of one game. In the initialization 4, the unused area and the unused stack area of the storage area of the RAM 241 c are initialized.

  In the second embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the transition of the setting change state, but is performed at the end of the setting change state, or is performed before the transition of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. You may do so.

  In the slot machine 201 of the second embodiment, the stipulated number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined, provided that the prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set. It is possible to start the game. In the second embodiment, the pay line LN is activated when the defined number of bets is set according to the gaming state.

  And in the second embodiment, when all the reels 202L, 202C, 202R stop, activated pay lines (in the case of the present embodiment, all pay lines are always activated, so in the following, It becomes a prize when a combination of symbols called a combination is aligned on the activated pay line simply referred to as a pay line). The role may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but can be roughly divided into a small combination with payout of medals and the need to set the number of bets, and the next game can be started again There are a play role and a special role accompanied by transition to a play state advantageous to the player. In the following, the small part and the re-play part are collectively referred to as a general part. In the present embodiment, the special part includes the REG bonus (first special condition) and the BIG bonus (second special condition more advantageous to the player than the first special condition).

  In order to generate a winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery described later, and the selection flag of the combination is set in the RAM 241c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these winning combinations, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are only valid in the game for which the flag is set and are invalid in the next game, but the special winning combination is The combination is valid until the combination of the combination accepted by the flag is complete, and the combination is invalidated in the game. That is, once the winning combination of the special part is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag can not be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated but is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the second embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, before the display results of all the reels 202L, 202C, 202R are derived and displayed (in fact, the start switch 207 determines whether or not the main control unit 241 allows winning in each of the above-described combinations). (At the time of detection of In the internal lottery, first, when the start switch 207 is detected, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508 b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508 b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 241 c. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state, etc., according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work and the number of judgment values of each combination determined according to the current gaming condition, the number of bets, and the set value. Thus, it is determined whether or not to accept a prize.

  In the internal lottery, the internal lottery random number value (numerical data stored in the lottery work) is determined as the number of judgment values determined corresponding to the role to be subjected to the internal lottery, the current gaming state, etc. and the set value. Addition is sequentially performed, and when the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. Therefore, the winning combination is won with the probability (number of judgment values / 65536) according to the magnitude of the number of judgment values.

  When it is determined that one of the winning combinations has been won, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set to the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the CPU 241a. The internal winning flag storage work is configured by a 2-byte storage area, the upper byte of which is assigned as a special role storage work in which the special winning flag is set, and the lower byte is a general winning The flag is assigned as a general role storing work to be set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination has been selected is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning combination flag indicating that the general combination has been selected is set in the general combination storing work. If neither combination nor combination of winning combinations is won, only the general combination storing work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 202L, 202C, 202R will be described.

  The main control unit 241 refers to the table index and the data for table creation stored in the ROM 241 b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel still rotating remains. Create a stop control table for each spinning reel. Then, when one of the stop switches 208L, 208C, and 208R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the reference stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 202L, 202C, 202R corresponding to the operated stop switches 208L, 208C, 208R.

  In the table index, an index indicating the start address of the area where the data for table creation is stored from the reference address at the time of referring to the table index for each setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as internal winning state). The difference up to the address where the data is stored is registered. As a result, it is possible to acquire the corresponding index data by acquiring the difference corresponding to the internal winning state and adding the difference to the reference address. In the case where the same control is applied, the same address is stored as index data even when the winning situation of the winning combination is different, and in such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, the stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding symbols according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the stop condition of the reel.

  The stop control table referred to according to the stop condition of the reels is all reels rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, left, It may differ depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, or the middle and right reels are stopped. Furthermore, in the situation where one of the reels is stopped, it is stopped. Because there are also cases where it differs depending on the stop position of the completed reel, for each situation, the address of the stop control table to be referred to is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, The address of the stop control table that should be referred to can be identified according to the situation of And to be able to identify the Do stop control table. Even when the stop condition of the reel and the stop position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding symbols at each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, a stepping motor which makes one revolution in a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 232L, 232C, and 232R. That is, by driving the reel motors 232L, 232C, and 232R in 336 steps, the reels 202L, 202C, and 202R make one turn. Then, 21 areas (pieces) divided in every 16 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel is defined, and in these areas, an area of 0 to 20 from the reel reference position is defined. The number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged in one reel is also 21 and symbol numbers of 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to the symbols of each reel, therefore, 0 to 20 symbols The area numbers of 0 to 20 are assigned in order. The number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule in the stop control table, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. There is.

  As described above, in the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the data for table creation, the area corresponding to each area number corresponds to the area number, and the stop reference position (in the present embodiment, the perspective window 203 Slippage when the operation of the stop switches 208L, 208C, and 208R is detected at the timing (the timing at which the number of steps from the reel reference position falls within the range of the number of steps of each region number) It is a table in which the number is set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of table creation data according to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is firstly referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and table creation data is identified based on the acquired index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table of each reel corresponding to the rotating state is acquired, and the stop control table of each reel stored in the acquired address is expanded to create the stop control table for all the reels.

  When one of the reels stops or when any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data according to the internal winning state of the game. Based on the table creation data, the table creation data is identified, and from the identified table creation data, the address of the stop control table of the unstopped reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is acquired. The stop control table of each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 241 effectively detects any operation corresponding to the rotating reel among the stop switches 208L, 208C, and 208R, the control when causing the corresponding reel to derive the display result To explain, when any one of the stop switches 208L, 208C, and 208R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of detecting the stop operation. The area number is identified, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the identified stop operation position is acquired with reference to the stop control table of the reel in which the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the acquired number of sliding symbols. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of detecting the stop operation, the acquired number of sliding symbols and the number of steps until stopping are calculated, and the reel is rotated by the calculated number of steps and stopped. Take control. Thus, the area corresponding to the area number corresponding to the area number corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected from the area number corresponding to the number of sliding symbols is the stop reference position (in the present embodiment, It will stop in the area of the lower design).

  In the table index of the second embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and one reel is further included in one table creation data. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop condition (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is also unique with respect to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and the stop state of the reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the stop condition of the reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel) become the same condition, the reel based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern Stop control is performed.

  Further, in the second embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding symbols of the stop control table, and it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four frame symbols after detecting the stop operation. . That is, it is possible to designate the stop position of the symbol from the range of maximum 5 frames including the stop operation position at which the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the symbol by one symbol, it is possible to pull in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation and stop the reel, and the stop having detected the stop operation It will be possible to specify the stop position of the symbol from the range of maximum 5 symbols including the operation position.

  In the second embodiment, when one of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum within the range of 4 pieces on the pay line, so that the winning combinations are not aligned on the pay line. A stop control table is created in which the number of sliding symbols to be drawn in is determined, and stop control of the reel is performed, but if none of the winning combinations is won, the stopping number is determined if the number of sliding symbols is not equal to any combination. A control table is created and reel stop control is performed. As a result, if it is possible to align and stop the winning combinations in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line when the stop operation is performed in the normal gaming state and inside, it is necessary to align them. A control to stop is performed, and a combination that has not been won is controlled to stop without aligning in the lead-in range of up to four frames.

  In the second embodiment, when the small combination is won during the carryover of the special combination, that is, when the special combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected, the small combination selected is in the range of 4 pieces in the pay line. The number of sliding pieces is determined to draw in to the maximum, and for the stop operation position where the small winning combination can not be drawn down to the winning line within the range of up to 4 pieces, the winning combination of four winning combinations A stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is determined so as to draw in the range to the maximum is created, and stop control of the reel is performed. By this, when the special role and the small role are won simultaneously, when the stop operation is performed, the small portions winning in the draw-in range of up to 4 pieces are aligned and stopped on the pay line. If it is possible, control is made to align and stop this, and if it is not possible to draw in the small winning combination in the draw-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line, the draw-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line If it is possible to align and stop the winning special roles, control is performed to align and stop them, and a combination that is not won is controlled to stop without aligning within the lead-in range of four frames. Become. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the small winning combination on the pay line has priority over the special winning combination, and it becomes possible to win the special winning combination only when the small winning combination can not be drawn. When the special role and the small role can be drawn simultaneously, only the small role is drawn in, and the small role and the special role are not aligned on the pay line.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when the re-playing combination is won during the carryover of the special combination, that is, when the special combination and the re-playing combination are simultaneously elected, four winning combinations of the re-playing combination are made on the pay line. The stop control table with the number of sliding symbols determined is set so as to draw in the range as much as possible, and the stop control of the reel is performed. Thereby, when the special role and the replay role are simultaneously won, when the stop operation is performed, the control of aligning and stopping the symbols of the replay role in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line I do. In this case, the symbols making up the re-playing combination or the symbols making up the re-playing combination winning simultaneously are arranged at an interval of 5 symbols or less, that is, 4 frames or less for any of the reels 202L, 202C, 202R. Because it can always be stopped at any position within the four-frame pull-in range, when the special role and the replay role are simultaneously won, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 208L, 208C, 208R by the player. Instead, you will be rewarded with a complete remake. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the re-play combination on the pay line has priority over the special combination, and the re-play combination will always be won. When the special combination and the re-play combination can be drawn simultaneously, only the re-play combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the pay line simultaneously with the re-play combination.

  In the second embodiment, the stop control of the reel is performed using the stop control table capable of specifying the number of sliding symbols at each timing when the stop operation is performed. However, the stop capable of specifying the stoppable position The stop position is specified from the position table, and the stop control is performed to stop the reel at the specified stop position. Without using the stop control table or the stop position table, the stop position which can be stopped at the stop operation is searched. -A configuration for performing stop control to specify and stop the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, stop possible without using the stop control table or the stop position table A configuration in which stop control is used by searching and specifying a specific stop position together, and a configuration in which the stop control table and the stop position table are partially changed to perform stop control It may be.

When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 240a sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In the initial setting, the boot process, the setting change process, the RAM abnormal error process when the RAM abnormality is detected unevenly, and the like are executed, and the game control process is executed after these processes are completed. The game control process is a process executed for each game and is a process repeatedly executed.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a game control process performed by the CPU 41 a of the game control board 240 for each game. When the processing of one game starts, first, the bet number is set by operating the 1-bet BET switch 205 or the MAX-bet switch 206, or by inserting medals from the medal insertion unit 204, and operating the start switch 207. A BET process is performed to instruct the substantial start of the game (step S401). If a replay game is won in the previous game, the same bet number (3 in the second embodiment) as the previous game is automatically set by the replay game flag (the replay game flag is erased at this stage) ).

  The bet number is set by BET processing, and when start switch 207 is operated, a random number for the internal lottery is extracted, and a winning to each combination determined according to the gaming state is permitted based on the value of the extracted random number A lottery process is performed to determine whether or not to do (step S402). In the lottery process, a win status notification command indicating the setting status of the win flag in the RAM 241 c is transmitted to the effect control board 290.

  When the lottery process is completed, a reel rotation process is performed next (step S403). In the reel rotation process, the reel motor on condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since one game timer counts from the start of rotation of the reels 202L, 202C, 202R in the previous game. 232L, 232C, 232R are driven to start rotating all the reels 202L, 202C, 202R on the left, middle and right. When predetermined conditions from the start of rotation of the reels 202L, 202C, 202R (detecting the reference position by the reel sensors 233L, 233C, 233R after the rotational speed reaches a constant speed) are satisfied, the stop switches 208L, 208C, 208R Make the operation effective. After that, the stop switches 208L, 208C, and 208R are operated by the player to stop driving the reel motors 232L, 232C, and 232R, and stop the rotation of the reels 202L, 202C, and 202R. A reel rotation command and a reel stop command are sent to the effect control board 290 when the reels 202L, 202C, 202R start and stop rotating, respectively.

  When driving of the reels 202L, 202C, 202R is stopped, a winning determination process is performed to determine whether any of the above described symbols is derived and displayed on the payline in the display result at the time of the stop (step S404) ). When it is determined in this winning determination processing that one of the winning combinations has been won, various types of processing corresponding to the winning occurring on the game control board 40 are performed. Here, a winning information command indicating the determination result of winning is sent to the effect control board 290.

  When the winning determination process is completed, a payout process is performed (step S405). In the payout process, medals are paid out or credits are added by the planned number of payouts set in the prize determination process. However, when the number of credits stored as data reaches 50, the hopper motor 234b is driven to pay out the medals of the excess number from the medal payout opening 209. In addition, various types of processing not related to winning (for example, processing related to end control of a big bonus, deletion of a winning flag without carryover, etc.) are also performed. In the payout process, the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus winning flags stored in the special work are not erased. As a result, the big bonus (1), big bonus (2) and regular bonus winning flags are carried over to the next game. At the end of the payout process, that is, at the end of one game, a game state command indicating the game state of the next game is sent to the effect control board 290. Then, the processing for one game is finished, and the processing for the next one game is started.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 290 will be described. In the effect control board 290, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board 301, the sub control unit 291 is activated. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing effect control main processing executed by the sub CPU 291 a of the sub control unit 291. When the effect control main process is started, first, a predetermined effect initial setting process is executed (step S421).

  When the effect initial setting process is ended, an effect control recovery process is executed to restore the control state of the effect control board 290, such as the internal state of the sub control unit 291, to the state at the time of stopping the power supply (step S422).

  After the effect control recovery process is executed, the interrupt is prohibited (step S423), and then the effect random number value update process is executed (step S424), and the interrupt is permitted (step S425). Run. The effect-side random number value updating process executed in step S424 is a process for updating all or part of the random number values used on the side of the effect control board 290 by software.
