Form to carry out

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

  Next, FIG. 4 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after the game machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), in step 1002, the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button and the reset button (RAM clear) of the power supply unit E. Button) has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed intentionally by a game hall manager or the like. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the main control board M transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at this timing). At this timing, a command may be set and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power interruption and the RAM area are stored in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is accurately backed up in the RAM). If YES in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up to the RAM in Step 1010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up to the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored in the RAM of the main control board M in Step 1012. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (the command may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and described later. It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by a scheduled execution interrupt (for example, about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt period is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, (b) in FIG. 11 is executed), the process proceeds to step 1018. . After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

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

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

  Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflow, passed in the case of a gate) into the auxiliary game start port H <b> 10. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number together with information on what number is on hold, and the next processing (processing of step 1200). Migrate to In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the next process (process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the electric accessory release flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 1204, in Step 1206, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the gaming state on the auxiliary game side (the flag state of the auxiliary gaming short time flag) and the acquired gaming state on the auxiliary gaming side and A stop symbol is determined based on an auxiliary game symbol random number based on the holding ball (for example, when the auxiliary game short time flag is on, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than when it is off) and temporarily stored. .

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the table, in this example, “D0, D1” exists as the stop symbols, and the stop symbol that is the winning symbol is “D1”, which is released due to the stop. In the non-time-reduced gaming state (auxiliary gaming time short flag off), the opening mode of the electric combination (second main game start opening electric combination B11d) is “open for 0.2 seconds → closed”. Further, in the time-saving game state (auxiliary game short flag ON), the release mode is “1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed”. In the non-time-saving game state (when the auxiliary game short time flag is off), the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol “D0”, and in the time reduction game state (when the auxiliary game short time flag is on) The stop symbol is configured so that the winning / losing lottery table related to the auxiliary game differs depending on the game state so that the winning symbol “D1” is likely to be obtained (the presence or absence of the auxiliary game probability changing function is activated).

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

  Next, in step 1224, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol and confirms and displays the acquired stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g. To do. In step 1228, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1230, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “winning” (D1 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M opens based on the winning symbol on the auxiliary game side (for example, in the case of the winning symbol “D1”, it is opened for 0.2 seconds → closed). And a predetermined time related to the opening time (opening / closing time) of the electric winning thing is set in the second main game starting port electric winning thing releasing timer. Next, in step 1234, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the electric-power-assist opening flag. Then, in step 1236, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M opens the second main game start port electric accessory B11d, and proceeds to step 1238. In the case of No in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1238.

  Next, in step 1238, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the second main game start port electric accessory release timer to determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the electric accessory release time has been reached. . In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240 and step 1242, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M closes the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d and turns off the electric accessory releasing flag, and performs the next processing. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

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

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

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game start opening entrance information is received from the first main game start entrance entering detection device A11s. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the first main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning lottery random number for determining whether or not to win, a symbol lottery random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1310, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game short time flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M pre-determines the stored result determination and the stop symbol based on the stored information (success / failure lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1316, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command related to a new hold result / failure result and a pre-determination result of stop symbol information in a command transmission buffer for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1318.

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

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

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

  Next, in step 1322, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the second main game start entrance entrance information is received from the second main game start entrance entrance detection device B <b> 11 s. In the case of Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (especially the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired in the same manner as the first main game symbol determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the first lottery random number for the first main game and the right lottery random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1328, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1340, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sends a command for transmitting a command related to a new on-hold generation (such as a second main game content determination random number on-hold generation command) to the sub-main control unit SM. The trust buffer is set (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). Also in the case of No in step 1322 or step 1324, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1400). Here, the advance determination is not performed in entering the second main game start opening, but the advance determination may be performed as in the case of entering the first main game start opening A10. Furthermore, the preliminary determination at the second main game start opening B10 may be possible only during execution of the special game (special game execution flag ON) or during the main game short time (main game short time flag ON).

  In step 1308 and step 1328, storage of the first main game content determination random number and storage of the second main game content determination random number are executed, but the main game content determination is performed in the RAM storage area of the main control board M. When storing a random number, a dedicated storage area is secured, and only information related to the “main game content determination random number” is stored in a byte storing information related to the main game content determination random number (various types) It is preferable to configure so as not to store other information such as a timer value (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise or the like. To prevent it). In addition, with respect to the winning lottery random number, the change of the gaming state (from the gaming state related to the hold that has already been recorded) between the acquisition of the winning lottery random number and the execution of the winning lottery related to the winning lottery random number. Since not only the change but also the game state may change due to the newly generated hold, the game state at the time of the lottery execution related to the lottery random number may be unpredictable). Until the process is executed, the lottery random number is stored.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M confirms whether or not the second main game symbol is reserved. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and the next process {the process of steps 1400 (1) and (2). }. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the second main game symbol display process described later, and the next process {steps 1400 (1), (2). The process proceeds to.

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

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game is not being played (or the condition device is being operated), the main game symbol is not changing, and there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is displayed), during the variable fixed time, You may comprise so that it may not satisfy | fill.

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

  Here, FIG. 10 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table (second main game success / failure lottery table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

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

  Here, FIG. 10 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table (second main game symbol determination lottery table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A” and “4B, 5B, 7B”) are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. The number of special game rounds determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. May}

  Next, in step 1412, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the first main game variation mode determination lottery table (second main game variation mode determination lottery table) corresponding to each game state, and the main game symbol. Based on the result of the lottery determination and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number), the variation mode of the main game symbol is determined, and these are stored in the RAM area of the main control board M. Temporarily store.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table (second main game variation mode determination lottery table). As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the main game symbol variation mode (variation time) for a certain random value can be determined based on the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result and the main game short flag state. Has been. For example, for a certain random number value, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and when the main game short-time flag is on (time-short game) The state) is configured to easily determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short. This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, or the like. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game short-time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side Is configured to be advantageous for the player, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). It is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished in order to establish the situation. In FIG. 11, the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group are provided even in a situation where the information related to the variation mode random number delimitation information and the variation mode group is not transmitted to the sub-control board S side (such as a gaming state). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group are provided only in the situation of transmission to the sub-control board S side. Here, in this embodiment, during the one-time fluctuation display of the main game symbol, the quasi-continuous variation that makes the decorative symbol appear to fluctuate multiple times is configured to be executable. As an example, when the variation mode of the main game symbol controlled on the main control board M side is a2, as shown in the outline of the effect execution content in the figure, the variation time of one time of the main game symbol , The decorative symbols controlled on the sub-control board S side are subjected to two fluctuations: fluctuation A: fluctuation (five seconds) fluctuation and fluctuation B: fluctuation (five seconds) fluctuation. It is configured to appear to fluctuate multiple times. Further, when the variation mode is a1, the variation is B: Loss (5 seconds), and the variation pattern is such that the decoration symbol varies only once during the variation time of the main game symbol. Note that the variation mode a1 is a variation mode that can be selected only when the number of holdings is 2 to 3 and is a variation mode that is not selected when the number is 0 to 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation mode a1 may be selected regardless of the number of reservations, but may be more easily selected when the number of reservations is 2 to 3 than when the number is 0 to 1. .

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the probability variation counter and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements (decrements) the counter value of the probability variation counter. Next, in step 1506, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the probability variation counter and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1506, in step 1508, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the main game probability change flag, and proceeds to step 1510. Note that if the answer is No in step 1502 or 1506, the process proceeds to step 1510.

  Next, in step 1510, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the time reduction counter and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter. Next, in step 1514, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the time reduction counter and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1514, in step 1516, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1518, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game short time flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1550). Note that if the answer is No in step 1510 or step 1514, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the specific game flag (main game probability change flag, main game short flag, auxiliary game short flag). Next, in step 1556, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears the value of the probability variation counter. Next, in step 1558, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears the value of the time reduction counter. Next, in step 1564, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the special game transition permission flag. Next, in step 1566, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the condition device operation flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). In the case of No in step 1552, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in steps 1604 and 1606, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the special game transition permission flag and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1607, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets an initial value (1 in this example) to the round number counter. Next, in Step 1608, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side ( The control command is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

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

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

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

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

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example) in the probability variation counter. Next, in step 1654, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the main game probability change flag. Next, in step 1656, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example) in the hour / short number counter. Next, in step 1658, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the main game short time flag. Next, in step 1660, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game short time flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997). In the present embodiment, when the transition to the probability variation gaming state is completed after the special game is over, the symbol variation is completed a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example) after the special game is over. It is configured to end the probability variation gaming state by this, but is not limited to this, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game, depending on the jackpot symbol that triggered the special game, When transitioning to the probability variation gaming state, the probability variation gaming state may continue until the next jackpot is won (by substantially setting 10000 times to the probability variation number counter and the hourly number counter) The probability variation gaming state may continue until the next big hit win. In the case of such a configuration, regarding the jackpot symbol on the first main game side, the jackpot symbol that shifts to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game and the jackpot symbol that does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game. The selection ratio may be set to 65:35, and when the transition to the probability variation gaming state is not performed after the special game is finished, 100 may be set in the time reduction counter.

  Next, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board S side (particularly on the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 4D is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting, such as when the game machine is powered on. That is, when the power to the gaming machine is turned on, in step 2002, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an initial process based on information received from the main control board M side (main control board M side) (for example, When the RAM clear information is received → the sub-side RAM is initialized, when various information commands are received → the effect-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Next, in step 2003, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S deletes information indicating that the trigger is to be described later (holding won in the pre-read lottery) from the information relating to the holding temporarily stored (by holding the trigger). If there is no hold with information to the effect in the hold, this process is not executed, and the process proceeds to the next process), and the hold display mode and the change suggestion display are all displayed in “white” ( The processing relating to the prefetching effect described later is reset). Note that the process at the time of power interruption is not limited to this, and after the power interruption is restored, information indicating that the trigger is on hold, information on the hold display mode, and the state related to the display mode of the change suggestion display are deleted. Instead, various effects such as prefetch effects may be continued. In such a configuration, for example, a subsidence area is provided on the sub side where information can be maintained even during power interruption, and information related to performance is backed up in the retreat area when a power interruption occurs, and power interruption recovery is performed. It may be configured to restore backed up information from time to time. In addition, information related to the contents of the hold and the change suggestion display from the main control board M side at the time of power failure recovery, at the start of change, at the time of change stop, at the time of hold occurrence (with respect to hold other than the newly generated hold) It may be configured to receive it again (note that although not specifically shown in this example, at the time of power failure recovery, only the information related to the number of holds is transmitted from the main control board M side (the contents of the hold) Such information is not transmitted). For this reason, since the information related to the hold that existed at the time of power interruption does not exist after the return from power interruption, the pre-reading effect cannot be executed for the hold (the main control board M at the time of power interruption return). It may be configured to receive information related to the hold from the side, and may be configured to execute a prefetch effect for the hold). In the case where a power interruption occurs during the variation of the decorative symbol, if there is no function to maintain the information at the time of the power interruption, there is a time until the end command of the fluctuation is received from the main control board M side. In the meantime, a dark screen (for example, a screen displaying “in preparation” or the like) will be displayed}. Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (f) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub-main control unit SM. Here, when (f) is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 5F, first, in step 2400, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a hold information management process described later. Next, in step 2500, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a prefetch hold change control process to be described later. Next, in step 2600, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a prefetch zone entry process described later. Next, in step 2700, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decoration symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2800, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2900, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a special game related display control process which will be described later. Next, in step 2999, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a display command transmission control process (sends commands set in these series of subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and ends this repetitive process routine. To do.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM adopts a form in which the sub-main routine (S2400 to S2999) is loop-processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5E is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and a signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M is transmitted to one terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (NMI in this example). It is a processing flow (e) when it is connected to a terminal. That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives the command input port (from the main control board M side). Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the sub-main control unit SM temporarily stores the command transmitted from the main control board M side in the RAM on the sub-main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result, and executes it immediately before this interrupt processing. Return to the process that was being performed.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, whether or not the CPUSC of the sub control board S has received a command relating to a new hold occurrence (hold information relating to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol) from the main control board M side. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the drawing suspension counter (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game and a maximum of four for the second main game) to “ Add 1 ”. Next, in step 2406, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sends a command related to the new hold result and stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side to the drawing hold information temporary storage area (sub control board S). Is temporarily stored in an area for temporarily storing information related to the hold on the side. Next, in step 2408, the CPUSC of the sub control board S installs the hold information (particularly, the change mode group, the change mode random number delimiter information, etc.) based on the hold generation command transmitted from the main control board M side. Temporarily store in the figure hold information temporary storage area. Note that if the main control board M side does not transmit the result of the success / failure result, the stop symbol, the variation mode group, and the variation mode random number delimiter information, in step 2406 or step 2408, the information is retained. It is not temporarily stored in the temporary storage area. Next, in step 2409-1, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2409-1, in step 2150, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a first main game prefetch determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2410. On the other hand, if No in Step 2409-1, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the hold change effect execution flag in Step 2409-2 when the pre-read effect is being executed on the first main game side or the pre-read zone The effect execution flag is turned off, all the hold display images are turned white, and the pre-read zone effect background is returned to the normal background. Next, in step 2410, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not information indicating that the trigger is on hold has been added to the new hold (added in the processing of step 2172). It is determined whether the new hold is a trigger hold. In the present embodiment, information indicating that the trigger is on hold is added to the hold on winning the pre-read lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2410, in step 2250, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a prefetch hold content determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2420. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2410, the process proceeds to Step 2420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2402, in step 2411, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a symbol variation display start instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. If YES in step 2411, in step 2412, the CPUSC of the sub control board S subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter. Next, in step 2414, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S temporarily stores the hold information related to the symbol change (particularly, the result of the determination, the stop symbol information, the change mode group, and the change mode random number separator information). While deleting from the area, the remaining pending information is shifted. Next, in step 2415, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the change suggestion display in a display mode similar to the display mode immediately before digestion of the digested hold (the display mode of the digested hold is It will be displayed as an indication of the change). The change suggestion display may be referred to as the change suggestion image. In addition, when the display mode immediately before digestion of the digested hold is blue, and then the hold is digested, and the change suggestion display regarding the digested hold is displayed, the display mode of the change suggestion display is red For example, the display mode of the hold immediately before digestion may be different from the display mode of the change suggestion display after the stop digestion. In such a configuration, it is preferable that the display mode of the change suggestion display after the hold digest is a display mode with a higher expectation degree of jackpot than the display mode of the hold immediately before digestion. . In addition, the display mode of the hold and the change suggestion display is “white → white flashing → blue → red → rainbow” from the one with a low expectation degree of jackpot. Next, in step 2416, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 2420. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2411, the process proceeds to Step 2420.

  Next, in step 2420, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has the same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter value on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). Is turned on and displayed in the hold display mode (the hold display mode is white when the hold display mode does not change), and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2500).

  The image diagram of the change suggestion display and the hold display image shows the display area of the change suggestion display and the hold display image on the effect display device SG. Specifically, the change suggestion display that can predict the jackpot expectation level corresponding to the symbol variation currently being executed in the region A is displayed, and the hold display image that can notify the jackpot expectation level corresponding to the unsettled hold in the region B Is displayed. The display mode of the change suggestion display is displayed larger than the hold display image, but may be displayed in the same size. In addition, the structure which does not display the said change suggestion display and a hold | maintenance display aspect on the effect display device SG, the structure which has the case where the said change suggestion display and a hold | maintenance display aspect are displayed based on a game state, and a case where it does not display, a game Based on the state, displaying only the change suggestion display or hold display mode related to the first main game side, and displaying only the change suggestion display or hold display mode related to the second main game side, A configuration having the same is also assumed. Moreover, even if it is a case where the production | presentation display apparatus SG is provided, the structure which does not display the said fluctuation | variation suggestion display and a pending | holding display aspect on the production | presentation display apparatus SG is also assumed. In this case, an effect hold display device (for example, LED) different from the effect display device SG may be provided separately, and further, an effect display device different from the effect display device SG (referred to as a second effect display device or a sub liquid crystal). It is also possible to display the variable hold display or hold display image.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the first main game prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. As will be described later, the processing from step 2154 to step 2158 is processing related to the prefetch lottery prohibition condition, and the processing from step 2160 to step 2172 is processing related to the prefetching lottery.

  First, in step 2154, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the time-saving game is in progress. In the case of Yes in step 2154, in step 2156, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the remaining hold. In the case of Yes in step 2156, in step 2158, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is a big hit in the hold before the new hold (the newly generated hold that triggered the execution of this process). Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2158, in step 2160, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2160, in step 2162, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/3), and proceeds to the processing of step 2170. If the result of step 2160 is No (that is, the hold is lost), in step 2164, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines that the new hold variation mode group is group 3 {changes for a long time regardless of the number of holds ( It is determined whether or not (super reach production) is determined}. In the case of Yes in step 2164, in step 2166, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a prefetch lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/10), and proceeds to the processing of step 2170. In the case of No in step 2164 [= the new hold is group 1 {short time fluctuation (no reach effect) is determined regardless of the hold number)} or group 2 {medium time change (normal reach effect) regardless of the hold number. In the case of confirm}], in step 2168, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a pre-read lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/50), and proceeds to the processing of step 2170. Next, in step 2170, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the prefetch lottery executed in any one of the steps 2162, 2166, and 2168 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2170, in step 2172, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S adds information indicating “trigger hold” to the new hold selected in the prefetch lottery, and performs the next process (in step 2410). Process). It should be noted that even if No in step 2154, step 2156, step 2158, or step 2170, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2410). In addition, when there is a second main game hold (holding that is digested with priority over the first main game side) in the hold, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs the first main game prefetch determination process. Skip to the next process (process of step 2410).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of prefetch hold content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. First, in step 2252, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a lottery to determine which pre-reading effect is to be executed, the hold change effect or the pre-reading zone effect. Specifically, the lottery is performed at “ratio at which the pending change effect is selected: ratio at which the prefetch zone effect is selected = 4: 1”. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a winning change effect and a pre-reading effect are always won (one of the effects is always executed), but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to execute a lottery to win both of these (both productions are performed simultaneously). Next, in step 2254, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the holding change effect is won by the lottery executed in the process of step 2252. In the case of Yes in step 2254, in step 2256, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the hold change effect execution flag. Next, in step 2258, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2258, in step 2260, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the hold change scenario determination table for the big hit time, and based on the hold number at the time of trigger hold occurrence, the hold change scenario (related to the trigger hold) A series of operation contents related to the pending change until the symbol change) is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2258, in step 2262, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the hold change scenario determination table for loss, and determines the hold change scenario based on the number of holds when the trigger hold occurs. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420). Here, with respect to the hold digested before the trigger hold in step 2260 and step 2262, only the change B is executed according to the number of holds at the time of the hold stop (the change A is omitted). (E.g., a1), but when determining a pending change scenario, a variation mode (e.g., a2) in which variation A and variation B are executed for all suspensions digested prior to the trigger suspension. Decide on the assumption that it will be taken. Although details will be described later, the pending change scenario is determined on the assumption that the variation A and the variation B are executed with respect to the symbol variation that occurs when the trigger suspension occurs. In other words, depending on the timing at which the trigger hold occurs, there are cases where the change A and the change B are referred to and the change B is referred to in the hold change scenario corresponding to the symbol change that occurs when the trigger hold occurs. It is configured as follows. In the case of No in step 2254, that is, if the pre-read zone effect is won, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the pre-read zone effect execution flag in step 2264, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2420). To do.

  Next, FIG. 21 is an example of a pending change scenario determination table and a variation A / variation B image diagram. In an example of the hold change scenario determination table, a hold change scenario determination table (at the time of a big hit) that is referred to when the trigger hold when the fourth hold occurs is a hold that becomes a big hit, and the fourth hold occurs The hold change scenario determination table (at the time of a loss) that is referred to when the trigger hold at the time of failure is a hold that causes a loss will be described in detail. The items of “occurrence change A” and “occurrence change B” are the hold display mode at the time of the trigger hold occurrence, and if the change at the time of hold occurrence is the change A, the “display change A” hold display mode When the hold display is started and the fluctuation at the time of the occurrence of the hold is the change B, the hold display is started in the hold display mode of “the change B at the time of occurrence”. The items of “change 3 before change A” and “change 3 before change 3” are hold display modes at the end of the respective symbol changes (change A and change B) before the 3 changes of the symbol change related to the trigger hold. The items of “2 changes before change A” and “2 changes before change B” are hold display modes at the end of the respective symbol changes (changes A and B) before the change of 2 related to the trigger hold. The items of “variation A before variation” and “variation B before one variation” are the hold display mode at the end of each symbol variation (variation A and variation B) one variation before the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension. Here, as described above, the pattern variation that occurs when the trigger suspension occurs, and the variation mode related to the suspension that is digested before the trigger suspension (before three variations to one variation) is the number of suspensions at the start of the variation. Accordingly, either the variation mode (for example, a1) in which only the variation B is executed (the variation A is omitted) or the variation mode (for example, a2) in which the variation A and the variation B are executed can be adopted. When the change occurs in a change mode in which only change B is executed at the time of occurrence, before 3 changes, before 2 changes, and before 1 change, “change A at occurrence” “change 3 before change” “2 changes” Without displaying in the hold display mode of the hold change scenario determined as “previous change A” and “1 change before change A”, “change B at occurrence” “change 3 before change” “change B before 2 change” “ Displayed only by the hold display mode of the hold change scenario determined as “1 change before change B”. In the case of the variation mode in which the variation A and the variation B are executed, the variation A is determined as “the variation A at the time of occurrence”, “the variation 3 before the variation”, “the variation A before the variation” “the variation A before the variation”. Display the hold display mode of the held change scenario, and when it is change B, it is determined as “change B at occurrence” “change 3 before change” “change B before 2 change” “change B before 1 change” Displayed in the change scenario hold display mode. The variation A / variation B image diagram details the variation display of variation A and variation B within one variation. In the variation A, after the symbol variation starts, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped at the lost symbol. At this time, the variation of the decorative pattern is not completely stopped, but is displayed in a swinging variation state. Then, it becomes the fluctuation | variation B, and the design fluctuation of a decorative design is started again. When the variation time of the decorative symbol elapses, the lost symbol is displayed, this time it is completely stopped and displayed, and the one variation ends.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the display color of the variation suggestion display, the big hit expectation level {if the display color of the variation suggestion display when the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension is executed is a predetermined display color, The ratio of the symbol fluctuation to be executed / (the ratio of the symbol fluctuation to be a big hit + the ratio of the symbol fluctuation to be lost) × 100 (%)} is displayed in order from the display color in the order of the lower color. → red "(same for the display color of the hold display image), and during the pre-reading effect, the hold display image or the change suggestion display of the change from the trigger hold to the end of the change related to the trigger hold is displayed. When the display color changes, the display color is changed to a display color with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than the current display color. By configuring in this way, “the display color of the hold display image or the change suggestion display changes = the expectation degree of the big hit is increased”, so the player can display the hold display image or the change suggestion during the execution of the pre-reading effect. The game progresses with a sense of expectation that the display color of the display changes. In addition, instead of displaying the lost symbol in the variation A, a re-variable symbol (for example, a symbol in which the characters “NEXT” are displayed) indicating that the decorative symbol fluctuates again may be displayed. As a decorative pattern to be displayed such as “123”, reverse order (“321”, etc.), and misalignment (“112”, etc.), a combination of a specific decorative pattern with regularity is displayed instead of a lost symbol. It may be.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the prefetch hold change control process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the hold change effect execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the CPUSC of the sub control board S confirms the current variation state of the decorative design. Next, in step 2506, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the symbol fluctuating at the time of trigger hold occurrence is present (the symbol change fluctuating at the time of trigger hold occurrence is determined in step 2506). It is determined whether or not the state is still in the changing state at the time of execution of processing). In the case of Yes in step 2506, in step 2508, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the change A is changing. In the case of Yes in step 2508, in step 2510, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the display mode of the hold display image corresponding to the hold of the trigger as the “change at the time of occurrence” of the hold change scenario when the hold of the trigger occurs. It is displayed in the determined hold display mode. Next, in step 2511, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the variation A referenced flag. In the case of No in step 2508, in step 2512, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the variation A referenced flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2512, in step 2513, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the fluctuation starts after the fluctuation A ends with the fluctuation B. In the case of Yes in step 2513, in step 2514, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the display mode of the hold display image corresponding to the hold of the trigger as the “change B at occurrence” of the hold change scenario after the start of the change B. Change to the determined hold display mode. Next, in step 2515, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the variation A referenced flag. In the case of No in step 2512 and step 2513, it is determined in step 2516 whether or not the change is in the change B. In the case of Yes in step 2516, in step 2518, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the display mode of the hold display image corresponding to the trigger hold as the “change B at occurrence” of the hold change scenario when the trigger hold occurs. It is displayed in the determined hold display mode. In the case of No in step 2506, after the end of step 2511, step 2515, and step 2518, in the case of No in step 2516, the process proceeds to step 2520. If No in step 2502, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2600).

  Next, in step 2520, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the fluctuation is 1 to 3 before the fluctuation related to the trigger suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2520, in step 2522, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the variation mode of the variation is “a1”. In the case of Yes in step 2522, in step 2524, the CPUSC of the sub control board S changes the display mode of the hold display image corresponding to the trigger hold after the start of the change related to the change mode “a 1” in the hold change scenario “( 1 to 3 before change) Change to the hold display mode determined as “change B”. That is, the change to the hold display mode determined in advance as “(before 1 to 3 changes) change A” is skipped. In the case of No in step 2522, in step 2526, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the fluctuation starts with the fluctuation A. In the case of Yes in step 2526, in step 2528, the CPUSC of the sub control board S changes the display mode of the hold display image corresponding to the hold of the trigger after the start of the change A to “(1-3 before change). ) Change to the hold display mode determined as “change A”. In the case of No in step 2526, in step 2530, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the fluctuation starts with the fluctuation B. In the case of Yes in step 2530, in step 2532, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the display mode of the hold display image corresponding to the hold of the trigger after the start of the change B to “(1-3 before change). ) Change to the hold display mode determined as “change B”. In the case of No in step 2520, after the end of step 2524, step 2528, and step 2532, or in the case of No in step 2530, the process proceeds to step 2534.

  Next, in step 2534, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the change is related to the trigger suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2534, in step 2536, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the display mode of the hold display image changed last as the display mode of the change suggestion display. Next, in step 2538, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the hold change effect execution flag, and in step 2540, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the display change flag (a change related to the trigger hold). The flag for determining a change scenario of the change suggestion display according to the display mode of the held display image is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600). In the case of No in step 2534, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the prefetch zone entry process according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2602, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the prefetch zone effect execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the CPUSC of the sub control board S confirms the content of the hold that is digested before the trigger hold, and in step 2606, the CPUSC of the sub control board S is before the trigger hold. It is determined whether or not there is no pending change (specific hold) in the change mode of group 2 or 3 in the change mode. In the case of Yes in step 2606, in step 2607, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S confirms the variation state of the decoration symbol at the time of trigger hold occurrence, and in step 2608, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the variation mode of group 1. It is determined whether or not it is changing in (for example, a change mode that does not reach reach). If Yes in step 2608, the background image is displayed as the pre-read zone effect background image at the timing when the trigger suspension occurs in step 2610. Note that the pre-read zone effect background image is continuously displayed until the change related to the trigger suspension. In the case of No in step 2608 {= if the fluctuation mode other than group 1 (for example, the fluctuation mode that reaches reach) is changing, or the fluctuation is stopped}, in step 2611, the CPUSC of the sub control board S is Then, it is determined whether or not the variation mode other than group 1 is varying. In the case of Yes in step 2611 (= if changing in a variation mode other than group 1 (for example, a variation mode that reaches reach)), in step 2612, the CPUSC of the sub control board S has finished the current variation. The background image is displayed as a prefetch zone effect background image (for example, a night background). Also in this case, the pre-read zone background image is continuously displayed until the change related to the trigger suspension. If No in step 2611 (= fluctuation stopped), in step 2613, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S permits the next symbol variation to start when the symbol variation of the main game symbol is stopped. After a certain period of time during which the symbol is in a stopped state), the background image is displayed as a pre-read zone effect background image. Also in this case, the pre-read zone background image is continuously displayed until the change related to the trigger suspension. In the case of No in step 2606, in step 2614, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the background image as the pre-read zone effect background image after the end of the change related to the last specific hold. Also in this case, the pre-read zone effect background image is continuously displayed until the change related to the trigger hold (it may be continuously displayed until the start timing of the symbol change related to the trigger hold, or the symbol change end timing related to the trigger hold. May be displayed continuously). When a pre-read zone effect background image is not displayed, a normal background image (for example, a daytime background) is displayed (the number of normal background images is not limited to one, and a plurality of background images can be displayed). May be configured). After step 2610, step 2612, step 2613, and step 2614 are completed, in step 2616, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the pre-read zone effect execution flag and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2700). In the case of No in step 2602, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2700).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination permission flag. Next, in step 2706, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S, based on the temporarily stored symbol information (stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol), stops the decorative symbol {eg, stop related to the main game symbol) If the symbol is a jackpot symbol, determine the size of “7, 7, 7”, etc., if it is a lost symbol, determine the “1, 3, 5”, etc. Temporarily stored in the RAM area of the substrate S.

  Next, in step 2300, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect content determination process to be described later. Next, in step 2714, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2300 of FIG. First, in step 2352, the CPUSC of the sub control board S reads out the lottery result relating to the symbol variation based on the command received from the main control board M side. In step 2354, the CPUSC of the sub control board S It is determined whether the symbol variation is a symbol variation on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2354, in step 2356, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the content of the effect related to the symbol variation based on the result of the lottery result and the variation mode of the first main game variation (see FIG. 11). In step 2358, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the display change flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 2358, in step 2360, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the change scenario of the change suggestion display with reference to the display mode of the symbol change suggestion display determined in step 2536. Next, in step 2361, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the display change flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2714). In the case of No in step 2358, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2714). If NO in step 2354, in step 2362, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the contents of the effect related to the symbol variation based on the result of the lottery result and the variation mode of the second main game variation (see FIG. 12). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2714).

  Next, FIG. 26 is an example of the change suggestion display change scenario determination table. In the figure, when the hold display mode of the trigger hold immediately before digestion is blinking white, the change suggestion display change scenario determination table (referred to when the symbol change (change related to the trigger hold) becomes a big hit) And the change suggestion display change scenario determination table (at the time of a loss) that is referred to when the symbol change is lost. The item “current display color” is a display mode of the change suggestion display corresponding to the trigger hold at the start of the symbol change related to the trigger hold. The item “variation A” is a display mode of the variation suggestion display displayed in the case of the symbol variation due to the variation A of the symbol variation (variation related to the trigger suspension). The item “variation B” is a display mode of the variation suggestion display displayed in the case of the symbol variation due to the variation B of the symbol variation (variation related to the trigger suspension). For both big hits and lost games, the change suggestion display change scenario is lottery using the change suggestion display change scenario determination table that does not depend on the number of holds. The ratio of the change of the display mode in the variation A or the variation B from the blinking white as the “current display color” is higher at the big hit than at the time of the loss. In the present embodiment, the case of “white blinking” is illustrated as the “current display color”, but is not limited thereto, and as shown in the pending change scenario determination table in FIG. 21, the “current display color” is blue, It can be red. In variation A and variation B, a display mode (display color) having a lower jackpot expectation than “current display color” is not selected. Although not shown, the variation suggestion display change scenario determination table may be provided according to the “current display color”, and the variation suggestion display change scenario may be selected by lottery. Similarly to the change related to the hold that is consumed before the trigger hold, only the change B is executed according to the number of hold at the start of the change (the change related to the trigger hold). Either a variation mode (a1) in which A is omitted) or a variation mode (for example, a2) in which the variation A and the variation B are executed can be adopted. Therefore, when a variation mode in which only variation B is executed is selected, only the display mode by variation B is displayed without displaying the display mode by variation A determined by the variation suggestion display change scenario determination table. Will be. It should be noted that the change suggestion display change scenario determination table of the change suggestion display change scenario is determined according to the variation mode determined by the CPUC 100 of the main control board M and the effect mode determined by the CPUSC of the sub control board S (effect execution effect contents of FIG. 11). By varying the random number distribution, the variation suggestion display may be easily changed according to the expectation of the symbol variation (variation related to the trigger suspension).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. If Yes in step 2802, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the symbol content determination flag in step 2804. Next, in step 2806, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2809, the CPUSC of the sub control board S starts the drawing variation time management timer, and proceeds to step 2810. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2802, the process proceeds to Step 2810.

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

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

  If NO in step 2816, whether the CPUSC of the sub control board S has reached the display timing of the preview image or the reach image based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the RAM area of the sub control board S in step 2820. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2820, in step 2822, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub sub control unit SS side). The process proceeds to step 2830. In the case of No in step 2820, the process proceeds to step 2830.

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

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2900 of FIG. First, in step 2902, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special gaming flag is OFF. In the case of Yes in step 2902, in step 2904, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2904, in step 2912, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the special gaming flag. Next, in step 2914, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command related to the big hit start display, and proceeds to step 2916. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2902, the process proceeds to step 2916.

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

  Next, FIG. 29 is a holding change effect execution image diagram in the present embodiment. Note that, in this example, when the variation mode (for example, a3) in which the symbol variation executes both variation A and variation B is selected, the variation A at the time of occurrence in the pending change scenario determination table shown in FIG. : Blinking white, occurrence fluctuation B: blue, fluctuation before 3 fluctuation A: red, fluctuation before 3 fluctuation B: red, fluctuation before 2 fluctuation A: red, fluctuation before 2 fluctuation B: red, fluctuation before 1 fluctuation A: red 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a case where a change B before change: red is selected. First, a decorative symbol corresponding to the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is variably displayed. The display mode of the change suggestion display and the hold display image is “white”. Next, in the variation A in the symbol variation (the symbol variation is composed of the variation A and the variation B), a trigger suspension occurs, and “white blinking” is displayed as a suspended display image at the fourth position of the suspension. Is done. Next, in the same variation A, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped at “367” which is a lost symbol. Since the symbol variation being executed is a symbol variation that performs pseudo-continuous variation, the display of the decorative symbol losing symbol “367” is not stopped at the time of the temporary stop. This indicates that it has not stopped completely due to fluctuations in shaking. The display mode of the hold display image related to the trigger hold remains “flashing white”. Next, in the variation B in the same symbol variation, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is started again from the temporary stop state. When the change A changes to the change B, the number of holdings remains four, which indicates that the change is within the same change. In the variation B, the display mode of the hold display image related to the trigger hold changes from “white blinking” to “blue”. Next, in the same variation B, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at “431” which is a lost symbol. Since the symbol variation is a quasi-continuous variation in which variation A and variation B are executed, the decorative symbol related to variation B is displayed as a fixed stop after temporary stop. The display mode of the trigger hold remains “blue”. Next, the fluctuation before the third fluctuation from the trigger hold is started. When the variation mode before the third variation is a1, the display mode of the held display image is changed from “blue” to “red” with reference to the variation B before the variation B: red of the determined pending change scenario. . On the other hand, when the variation mode before the third variation is a loss variation mode other than a1, the variation A is displayed with reference to the determined variation A before the third variation A: red of the determined pending change scenario. The mode is changed from “blue” to “red”, and in the variation B, the variation mode B before the change of the determined on-holding change scenario B: the display mode of the on-hold display image is changed in the variation A with reference to red. Further, the display mode of “red” is maintained without further change from “red”. Next, the fluctuation before the second fluctuation from the trigger hold is started. Similarly to the case of the change before the third change from the trigger hold, both the change change modes other than a1 and a1 can be adopted as the change modes before the second change. When the variation mode before the second variation is a1, the display mode of the held display image is maintained as “red” with reference to the variation B before the variation B: red of the determined pending change scenario. In the case of the loss variation mode other than a1, in the variation A, the display mode of the hold display image is maintained as “red” with reference to the change A: red before the change of the determined hold change scenario: In the variation B, the display mode of the suspended display image is maintained in “red” with reference to the variation B before variation of the determined pending change scenario: red. Next, the change one change before the trigger hold is started. Since the number of holds is 1, a1 is not selected, and a variation mode in which both variation A and variation B are executed is selected. In the variation A, the display mode of the suspended display image is maintained as “red” with reference to the variation A before the variation of the determined pending variation scenario: red, and in the variation B, the determined pending variation scenario. 1 change before the change B: With reference to red, the display mode of the hold display image is kept “red”. Next, a change related to the trigger hold is started. At the start of the change related to the trigger hold, the display mode of the change suggestion display is determined using the change suggestion display change scenario determination table shown in FIG. In FIG. 26, the “current display color” is “blinking white”, but in FIG. 26 (FIG. 29), it has already changed to “red” due to the hold change due to the hold change scenario, so it is not shown in FIG. It is appropriate to determine the change suggestion display change scenario using the change suggestion display change scenario determination table whose “current display color” is “red”. In this figure (FIG. 29), reach is achieved by aligning the left and right decorative symbols at “7” in the variation related to the trigger suspension. The variation mode that is the reach is a variation mode in which both the variation A and the variation B are executed. Therefore, the variation suggestion display mode is displayed with reference to the display modes of variation A and variation B in the variation suggestion display change scenario determination table. Here, “red” is maintained. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the hold change effect is executed, the trigger hold display mode can be changed both at the start of symbol variation and in the middle of the symbol variation. The pseudo continuous variation can be executed. More specifically, except for the case where the variation time of the main game symbol is a short time for executing the pseudo continuous variation (for example, in the case of the variation mode a1), the retention including the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension is included. In the design variation during the execution of the change effect, the pseudo continuous variation is executed in every design variation. By configuring in this way, even if the number of symbol variations executed during the execution of the hold change effect is actually four times, whether or not the player has performed symbol variations five times or more. This makes it possible to improve the interest in the look-ahead production where the expectation that the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension becomes a big hit every time the symbol variation is executed can be improved.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a prefetch zone entry image diagram in the present embodiment. First, symbol variation is executed in the state of two pending. Next, a trigger hold occurs during the change and is displayed in white. At this time, in the situation where all the previous holds are not reach (see FIG. 11: Group 1 at the time of losing), the prefetch lottery is won and the prefetch zone effect is won. The read-ahead zone entry timing differs depending on the situation.

First, the case where the change is a non-reach change will be described in detail. If the change is a non-reach change, the characters “night mode entry !!” indicating that the entry into the night mode, which is the look-ahead zone effect, is displayed when the trigger is suspended. Next, the background image of the change becomes the night mode, and the night mode notice effect is executed.

  Next, the case where the fluctuation is a fluctuation with reach will be described in detail. If the change is a change with reach, even if the pre-read zone effect is won at the time of a new entry, the night mode that is the pre-read zone effect is not entered by the change. That is, in the variation, a reach effect by a predetermined reach variation is executed, the stop display is performed with the reach lose symbol, and the variation ends. Then, in order to enter the night mode, which is the look-ahead zone effect, at the start of the next change, the characters “night mode entry !!” are displayed. Next, the background image becomes the night mode, and the night mode notice effect is executed.

(Summary of this embodiment)
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the hold change scenario of the hold change effect determined when the ball enters the first main game start opening A10 (when the trigger hold occurs) is the trigger hold. The variation mode of the previous variation is either a variation mode in which the variation of the decoration symbol is only once (variation B only) or a variation mode in which the variation of the decoration symbol is twice (variation A and variation B). Also, in order to enable the hold change, the hold display mode in both the fluctuation A and the fluctuation B is always determined. That is, when the variation mode before the trigger hold is the decoration pattern change only once (only the change B), the hold display of the trigger hold is referred to the hold display mode of the change B determined as the hold change scenario. The aspect is determined and displayed. On the other hand, when the variation mode of the variation before the trigger hold is the decoration pattern variation twice, the hold display of the trigger hold with reference to the hold display modes of the variation A and the variation B determined as the hold change scenario, respectively. The mode is determined, the change A hold display mode is displayed in the change A of the change, and the hold display mode of the change B is displayed in the change B.

  Furthermore, when entering the first main game start opening A10, when the entry timing to the pre-read zone effect in which execution is determined when entering the first main game start opening A10 (when trigger hold occurs) enters the first main game start opening A10 It is configured so as to differ depending on the variation mode of the symbol variation that is changing (when the trigger suspension occurs). When the variation mode being executed is a variation without reach, the pre-read zone effect is entered at the time of entering the ball, and when the variation mode being executed is a variation with reach, the variation being varied is terminated. It was configured to enter the pre-read zone production after the next fluctuation. By configuring in this way, fluctuations with low expectation for jackpots (unreachable fluctuations) can indicate that there is a possibility of big hits in subsequent fluctuations, and the expectation for jackpots is high. In the variation (variation with reach), since the prefetch zone effect is not entered during the change, the reach effect can be shown without lowering the expectation of the reach effect during the change. Also, by having multiple pre-read zone entry timings, the possibility of a pre-read zone entry remains even if the pre-read zone does not enter when a hold occurs, and the player always has a sense of expectation for entering the pre-read zone. The game can be advanced while hugging.

  In this figure, a case has been described where there is no hold with a reach variation other than the symbol variation executed at the time of trigger hold occurrence, but there is a hold with a reach change other than the symbol change being executed at the time of trigger hold occurrence. In some cases, after all the reach fluctuations that exist before the trigger hold (digested before the trigger hold) and the change in hold is finished, the night mode that is the look-ahead zone effect at the start of the next change is entered. Let it rush. At this time, the background image should be set to the night mode after displaying the characters “night mode entry !!” in the same way as the case where there is no hold with reach fluctuation other than the symbol fluctuation executed at the time of trigger hold occurrence. It can be illustrated. The night mode may be entered without displaying the characters “night mode entry !!”. It is also assumed that a pre-read zone entry symbol is displayed as a method of entering the pre-read zone effect. The pre-read zone entry symbol may be displayed so as to be superimposed on the decorative symbol so as to hide at least part of the decorative symbol.

  In general, there are a plurality of stages (background images, sometimes referred to as modes and stay stages) in a non-stochastic game state and a non-time-reduced game state other than the look-ahead zone effect. Accordingly, the prohibition condition of the prefetch lottery in the first main game prefetch determination process in step 2150 may be changed. For example, in stage A, there is only one trigger hold (that is, a new prefetch lottery is not executed during execution of prefetch effects), and in stage B, multiple trigger hold is permitted (that is, prefetching is performed). It is also possible to execute a new look-ahead lottery even during production execution. In addition, the prohibition condition of the prefetch lottery may be changed according to the gaming state, and (1) the prefetch lottery can be executed only for the hold on the first main game side according to the gaming state, the stage, or a combination thereof. (2) The prefetch lottery can be executed only for the hold on the second main game side. (3) The prefetch lottery can be executed on both the hold on the first main game side and the hold on the second main game side. It may be made different either.

  In the present embodiment, the pre-read zone effect is described in one mode (night mode), but a plurality of pre-read zone effects (evening mode, night mode, etc.) may be provided. The big hit expectation degree may be different depending on a plurality of prefetch zone effects. In addition, each pre-reading zone effect may suggest a specific effect mode. Specifically, in the evening mode, the symbol fluctuation related to the trigger hold is determined to reach or exceed (normal reach, super reach, etc.), and in the night mode. If there is, the symbol variation related to the trigger hold may be determined as super reach or more. In the case of a hold change effect, blue hold may be determined as reach or higher, and red hold may be determined as super reach or higher.

  In addition to the pre-read zone effect, a step-up notice (such as a plurality of characters being displayed in sequence), a dialogue notice (such as a character talking), a re-variable symbol (sometimes referred to as a pseudo-continuous symbol), and the number of re-variations (It may also be referred to as the number of times of pseudo-continuation or the number of times of pseudo-variation), etc., may indicate to the player the variation mode or the big hit expectation degree related to the trigger hold, and the number of re-variation is 2 or more Also good. For example, in the case of step-up notice, SU3 (third stage of step-up) is determined to be normal reach or higher, SU4 (fourth stage of step-up) is determined to be higher than super reach, and SU1 → SU3 (SU2 is not executed) is super reach. This is the final decision. In the case of dialogue notice, the red character is determined to be normal reach or higher, and the gold character is determined to be super reach or higher. As for the re-variation symbol, blue indicates re-variation once, red indicates re-variation twice, and the like. As for the number of re-variations, one or more times is determined as normal reach or more, and twice is determined as super reach or more.

  In the present embodiment, the case has been described in which the CPUSC of the sub control board S has normally received a command related to the execution of the prefetch effect from the CPUC 100 of the main control board M (command such as a variation mode group, the number of holdings). It is also assumed that the CPUSC of the board S cannot normally receive a command related to the execution of the prefetch effect from the CPUC100 of the main control board M. If the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has not successfully received a command related to the execution of the pre-reading effect, the execution of the pre-reading effect scheduled to be executed is stopped and the pre-reading effect is being executed if it is before execution of the pre-reading effect. For example, the prefetching effect being executed can be stopped. Specifically, there are commands that are related to execution of the pre-reading effect, command contents indicating out of range, reception of command contents that do not match the previous command, and the like. Command corruption indicates that the data content is not normal. The command content indicating out-of-range indicates that the command is in a range not set in the gaming machine. The command content that is not consistent with the previous command is, for example, that the command indicating the number of holds of the first main game symbol in the previous time is a command indicating the number of holds: 4, but this time when the next change starts Examples of the command indicating the number of holds of the first main game symbol include a command indicating the number of holds: two. Furthermore, even when the command related to the pre-reading effect is missed, it can be exemplified as a case where the command related to the execution of the pre-reading effect cannot be received normally. In addition, when the command related to the execution of the pre-reading effect cannot be normally received, the execution of the pre-reading effect scheduled to be executed is stopped and the pre-reading effect being executed is stopped. Even if it is not possible to receive normally, it is possible to continue the prefetching effect being executed. For example, in the above-described command indicating the number of hold of the first main game symbol in the previous time, the current number of the first main game symbol is held at the start of the next fluctuation even though the command indicates the number of hold: 4. If the command indicating the number of hold: 2 is used as a command indicating the number, a pre-read effect such as a hold change is executed when the command for holding the number of hold: 4 is received, and then held at the start of the next fluctuation Number: Even when two commands are received, the pending change scenario such as the pending change has already been determined, so the change in the pending number according to the received command can be executed. It is possible to continue the prefetching effect inside.

  Further, a comparison between the notice effect in the fluctuation until the trigger hold and the notice effect in the change of the trigger hold will be described. In order to suggest whether or not the fluctuation until the trigger hold and the trigger hold fluctuation is a big hit, the notice effect using the sub input button SB {line notice, symbol aura notice (sub Etc.) can be executed by operating the input button SB. The fluctuation until the trigger hold may be set such that the probability that the notice effect using the sub input button SB is executed is lower than the probability that the notice effect using the sub input button SB is executed due to the change of the trigger hold. . In this case, the player can focus on the notification effect of the change of the trigger hold because the notification effect in the change of the trigger hold can be executed with more notification effects than the change until the trigger hold. It becomes easy.

  In the present embodiment, the hold change effect and the prefetch zone effect have been described as prefetch effects. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a specific decorative pattern (displacement “112”, order “123”, reverse order) is not limited to this. Opportunity to display eye “321”, odd number “135”, same color, etc.) Pre-reading effect, countdown pre-reading effect (subtracting the value for each change to indicate that the trigger is on hold), effect pre-reading effect (Effect emits light for every change) or the like. In the chance look-ahead effect, at least a part of the decorative pattern may be emphasized or concealed by an effect or the like. Further, in this embodiment, the display timing of the pre-reading effect is set to the timing of entering the ball during the change or the start of the next change. However, the display timing is not limited to this, and the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol or the stop display (end of change) is displayed. It is also possible to set the timing, the display timing of a specific notice (for example, the display timing of a step-up notice, the operation timing of the sub input button SB), or the like. Specifically, the look-ahead zone entry symbol can be displayed at the timing of the temporary stop of the decorative symbol or the timing of the stop display, and the chance eye can be displayed at the timing of the variable stop display. In addition, when displaying the pre-read zone entry symbol or chance eye at the temporary stop timing or stop display timing of the decorative symbol, it is assumed that the visibility of the decorative symbol is reduced due to the pre-read zone entry symbol or effect. Therefore, it is appropriate to make it possible for the player to recognize that there is a change by using a display showing a change in the corner of the liquid crystal screen or another display device (LED, etc.) separately from the decorative design. .

  The pre-reading effects, including the above-described modifications, include a pre-reading effect that can grasp which hold is the trigger hold and a pre-read effect that is difficult to grasp which hold is the trigger hold. Prefetch effects that can be used to determine which hold is a trigger hold include a hold change effect and a countdown prefetch effect. There are production, prefetching opportunity, and prefetching effect.

  The big hit expectation degree of these pre-reading effects may differ depending on the gaming state. Specifically, in the non-time-reduced game state (non-time-short state) in which the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is difficult to be released, the pre-rendering execution lottery and the pre-reading effect only for the hold on the first main game side On the other hand, the pre-reading effect lottery and the pre-reading effect are not executed for the hold on the second main game side. In the time-saving game state (time-short state) in which the second main game start opening electric accessory B11d is easily opened, the pre-reading effect lottery and the pre-reading effect are not executed for the hold on the first main game side, The pre-reading effect execution lottery and the pre-reading effect are executed only for the hold on the main game side. In this case, a look-ahead effect (for example, a hold change effect, a look-ahead zone effect A, a chance look-ahead effect, and an effect look-ahead effect) that can be executed on the first main game side in the non-time-reduced game state and the second main effect in the time-reduced game state. In the prefetch effects (for example, hold change effect, prefetch zone effect B, chance look ahead effect, countdown effect) that can be executed on the game side, the expectation level of the prefetch effects may be different. Specifically, when red hold occurs in the hold change effect, the big hit expectation degree in the non-time-reduced gaming state is 30%, but the big hit expectation degree in the time-reduced gaming state may be 50%. Further, a prefetch effect that can be generated regardless of the gaming state (for example, a hold change effect) and a prefetch effect that can be generated only in a specific gaming state (for example, the prefetch zone effect B) may be provided. The jackpot expectation by may be different.

  In the present embodiment, the explanation about the effects during the special game is omitted, but the effects during the special game may include a battle effect, a rendezvous rensou effect described later, a music selection effect by the player, and the like. . Battle directing informs the player that the ally character and the enemy character are fighting, and that the ally character wins, and that the player is surely changed, and that the special game is a high profit special game (for example, 16 round big hit). Production. It is also possible to notify the player that big hits are continuously generated within the hold due to the skill or dialogue of the teammate character in the battle performance (later-holding renso described later). The on-hold consecutive resort means that a special game is generated again after the special game is ended due to the hold generated before the end of the special game. The rendition that suggests the reserved renso to the player is called the rendezvous renso production. The on-hold consecutive resort production may include a case where it is executed as a part of a main production (for example, the above-mentioned battle production) during a special game or a case where it is executed by a dedicated production. Furthermore, as a condition for generating the on-hold consecutive villa production, the special game currently being executed is a high profit special game, and the special game scheduled to be executed next time is a high profit special game. In other words, if the special game currently being executed is a low-profit special game (for example, a big hit without a game, 4R big hit), or if the special game scheduled to be executed next is a low-profit special game, Zhuang production will not be executed. Further, using the game specifications, it is assumed that a special game is executed on the first main game side, and a hold on the second main game side occurs after the end of the special game. During the execution of the high profit special game, it is possible to execute the reserved game in the reserved game on the first main game side only when there is a hold that becomes the high profit special game in the hold on the second main game side. Even if there is a hold that becomes a high profit special game in the hold on the second main game side while the high profit special game is being executed, it is appropriate not to execute the in-hold extended zone effect. . The music selection effect by the player is an effect that allows the player to change the hit music by operating the sub input button SB or the cross button SB-2 during the big hit. An image or a moving image may be changed so as to correspond to a hit song, or only a song may be changed.

The main control board M outputs a drive signal to the solenoid that drives the right first main game start port electric accessory A31d, or outputs a control signal to the auxiliary game symbol display device H20. In addition, the detection signal output from the auxiliary game start-entrance detection device H11s is input to the main control board M.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a main flowchart on the main control board M side in the second embodiment. Differences from this embodiment are step 900 (second), step 1200, step 1300, step 1400, step 1550, step 1600, step 1700 (second), ie, step 900 (second). The CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a timer update process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1200, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1550, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a special game operating condition determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1600, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a special game control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1700 (second), the CPUC of the main game control board M executes a small hit game control process, which will be described later.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of timer update processing according to the subroutine of Step 900 (second) in FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. First, in step 901, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the variation time is not updated by the variation pattern. If Yes in step 901, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a 2-byte timer update process in step 902. In the case of No in step 901, in step 910 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a variable time update process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1100). As described above, in the second embodiment, as a process for updating various timers, a 2-byte timer update process (a timer update process other than a change time due to a change pattern. For example, a time according to change additional information described later, a symbol fixed time, Jackpot start demo time etc.) and variable time update processing. Although the details will be described later, in the second embodiment, the long variation time (for example, 600 seconds) can be determined in the case of the probability variation gaming state and the non-time-reduced gaming state. In the 2-byte timer, measurement is possible only up to 2 16 = 65536 {= about 262 seconds (65536 times × 4 ms = 262114 ms)}. Therefore, the 3-byte timer in the second embodiment is composed of the upper 1 byte and the lower 2 bytes, and by sequentially updating the upper 1 byte and the lower 2 bytes, 3 bytes are newly subtracted or added with one instruction. This is realized without using the processing to do. With this configuration, the program capacity of the CPUC 100 of the main control board M is reduced.

  Next, a subroutine related to the variable time update process in step 910 (second) of FIG. 33 will be described. As a premise, the 3-byte timer for counting the variation time of the variation pattern is composed of an upper byte (1 byte) and a lower byte (2 bytes). First, in step 911, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether both the upper byte and the lower byte are not zero. In the case of Yes in step 911, in step 912, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the upper byte is 0. In the case of Yes in step 912, in step 914, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements the lower byte by 1 and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1100). Note that, in the case of No in step 912, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements the lower byte by -1. At this time, if the lower byte is less than 0, a carry flag (or a borrow flag) is set in the flag register. Next, in step 918, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether the carry flag (or the borrow flag) is set in the flag register (that is, determines whether the lower byte is less than 0). ). If YES in step 918, the CPUC100 of the main control board M decrements the upper byte by -1 in step 920, and the CPUC100 of the main control board M clears the carry flag (or borrow flag) in the flag register in step 922. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1100). Here, the process of decrementing the lower byte by −1 in step 914 and step 916 is executed using the same process as the 2-byte timer update process in step 902 because the lower byte is 2 bytes. Note that if the answer is No in Steps 911 and 918, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 1100).

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the electric accessory driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. Differences from this embodiment are step 1216 (second), step 1218 (second), and step 1232 (second). In step 1216 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M is in the gaming state. The stop symbol is determined based on the (time flag) and the auxiliary game symbol winning random number. In step 1218 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined time in the variation management timer based on the gaming state (time reduction flag). In step 1232 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined time in the release timer based on the gaming state (short time flag).

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 of FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 1324 (second). In step 1324 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls relating to the main game (the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, one).

  Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 (second) in FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol can be changed simultaneously. In step 1400 (1) (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process, which will be described later, and in step 1400 (2) (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M. Executes a second main game symbol display process, which will be described later. With this configuration, the second main game side can start to change even when the first main game side changes, and the first main game side also changes when the second main game side changes. Can start (so-called parallel lottery).

  Next, FIG. 37 shows a first main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, in Step 1407-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first variation start condition is satisfied. Here, the first variation start condition is not during a special game (or during operation of the condition device), is not in the first main game symbol variation, and there is a hold of the first main game symbol, and small The condition is that the game is not hit. That is, since the parallel lottery can be executed, when the process related to the first main game symbol is executed, there is no problem even if the second main game symbol fluctuates, but the first main game symbol is fluctuating. If there is, the variation start condition related to the first main game side is not satisfied. Although not shown in this example, when a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the first main game symbol is displayed) is provided, the fluctuation of the next variable is displayed during the variable fixed time. You may comprise so that start conditions may not be satisfy | filled.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step 1407-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores the first main game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation in steps 1407-2 and 1407-3. Is deleted from the hold information, and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding digestion process). Next, in step 1407-4, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the first main game winning lottery table corresponding to each game state in the second embodiment, and determines the first main game content determination random number (in particular, The first main game symbol winning lottery is executed based on the winning lottery random number). In the first main game symbol winning / losing lottery, only when the second main game symbol is changing the symbol related to the big hit symbol, the winning / losing lottery result is forcibly lost (or may be a lottery).

  Here, FIG. 39 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table (second main game success / failure lottery table) in the second embodiment. As shown in this example, in the second embodiment, the second main game success / failure lottery table is provided with a win (small hit), and the second main game winner / lottery table has a high probability (small). Hit) is selected. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. In the second embodiment, a small hit is provided only on the second main game side, but a small hit may also be provided on the first main game side.

  Next, in step 1407-5, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the first main game symbol determination lottery table, determines the first main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (in particular, the symbol). Stop symbols relating to the first main game symbol are determined on the basis of a lottery random number), and these are temporarily stored.

  Here, FIG. 39 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table (second main game symbol determination lottery table) in the second embodiment. As shown in this example, in the second embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “2A-A, 2B-A, 2C-A, 2D-A”) and “2A-B, 2B-B, 2C-B, 2D-B, and 2E-B”), one main game symbol is determined as a jackpot symbol. Note that the number of special games rounds determined with reference to the main game symbols is 2R. The types of random numbers and stop symbols are merely examples, and are not limited to this. {For example, the lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and may be configured to provide multiple types of symbols. Alternatively, a configuration in which a plurality of special game rounds are provided (3R, 4R, 5R,. Furthermore, the first main game stop symbol determination lottery table includes 16R and 2R, and the second main game stop symbol determination lottery table includes 16R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R, and 7R. A configuration in which the number of rounds of special games provided in the stop symbol determination lottery table and the second main game stop symbol determination lottery table is different (for example, there is 3R only in the second main game stop symbol determination lottery table) The number of types of special games provided in the game stop symbol determination lottery table and the second main game stop symbol determination lottery table are different (for example, the first main game stop symbol determination lottery table includes two types of special games, 2 main game stop symbol determination lottery table may include 7 types of special games).

  Next, in step 1407-6, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the first main game variation mode determination lottery table corresponding to each game state in the second embodiment, and determines the main game symbol success / failure lottery result and Based on the first main game content determination random number (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number), the variation mode of the first main game symbol is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIG. 41 is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table in the second embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the second embodiment, the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol with respect to a certain random value is determined based on the result of lottery determination of the main game symbol, the probability variation flag state, and the short time flag state. Configured to get. For example, the symbol variation time when the first main game side loses is the gaming state in which the first main game side is the main game (non-probable and non-time-reduced game, non-probable and time-reduced game, probable and time-reduced The variation in the gaming state in which the second main game side is the main game (during probabilistic and non-time-reduced gaming) tends to be relatively longer than the variation in the gaming). In addition, when the result of lottery of the main game symbol is a win for a certain random number value, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and the time-short flag is on (time-short game state) Is configured so that a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short can be easily determined. This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, or the like.

  Next, as a feature of the main game table 3 (variation mode determination table), in the second main game side, in the probability variation state and the non-time-reduced game state (latent probability variation state with a so-called non-electric support state) A variation time (1 second in this example), which is a short time at the time of a small hit, is selected with high probability. By configuring in this way, in the probability variation state and the non-time-reduced gaming state (latent probability variation state with a so-called non-electric support state), if the right hand is executed, the small hit is continuously won at short intervals. It is comprised so that it may continue (The effect | action created by this structure is mentioned later). Also, in game states (particularly non-probability variation states) other than probabilistic and non-time-reduced gaming states (the so-called latent probability variation state with non-electric support state), a relatively short variation time (this example) In this example, only 8 seconds) is selected, and only a relatively long fluctuation time (5 minutes or more in this example) is selected at the time of loss or small hit. . In addition, the average variation time at the big hit of the second main game symbol in the normal gaming state (non-probability change state and non-time reduction game state) and the second main game in the normal game state (non-probability change state and non-time reduction game state) The average fluctuation time other than when the symbol is big hit (when lost or small hit) means "average fluctuation time when the second main game symbol is not big (when lost or small hit) in the normal gaming state> normal gaming state The average fluctuation time at the time of the big hit of the second main game symbol in “. In addition, in the normal gaming state (non-probability changing state and non-time shortening gaming state), the average fluctuation time of the second main game symbol other than the big hit (when lost or small hit), the probability changing state and non-time shortening gaming state (so-called The average fluctuation time of the second main game symbol in the latent probability changing state with the non-electric support state) is “the average fluctuation time of the second main game symbol in the normal gaming state other than the big hit time (when lost or small hit)> The relationship is the “average variation time of the second main game symbol in the probability variation state and the non-time-reduced game state”.

  It should be noted that there is no problem even if the configuration of the main game table 3 (variation mode determination table) is changed. The variation mode is configured by a combination of the variation pattern and the variation additional information (determined by a random number different from the variation pattern) having a large number of types (for example, 100 types, including the variation additional information separately from the variation pattern). It is good also as comprising the kind of.

  Next, in step 1407-7, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the determined stop symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1407-7, in step 1407-8, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the special game content (information on the big hit start demo time, information on the performance in the big hit start demonstration, etc.) based on the big hit symbol, and hits the big hit The program is stored in the buffer, and the process proceeds to Step 1407-9. If No in step 1407-7, step 1407-8 is skipped and the process proceeds to step 1407-9. In the second embodiment, at the start of symbol variation, the variation start storage buffer shown in FIG. 40 stores the hit start demonstration time, the hit start demonstration effect content, and the like based on the determined big hit symbol. The variation start storage buffer is configured separately for big hits and small hits. For example, in the case of a big hit, A (10 seconds) is stored in the storage area for the big hit hit start demonstration time, and C (fanfare effect) is stored in the storage area for the big hit hit start demonstration effect. In the second embodiment, since the first main control side is not provided with a small hit, the case of the small hit will be described in a second main game symbol display process described later. The jackpot start demo time is updated by the 2-byte timer update process of the timer update process.

  Next, in step 1407-9, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M causes the temporarily stored commands (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the first main game symbol and the current gaming state. Is set in a command transmission buffer for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (sent to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). To do. Next, in step 1407-10, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined time related to the variation time of the first main game symbol in the first main game symbol variation management timer and starts subtraction. For example, when 60 seconds is selected as the variation time in a gaming state other than the probability variation / non-time-reduced game state (that is, the gaming state in which the first main game symbol is the main symbol variation), a binary number is used as a 2-byte timer. “0011 1010 1001 1000” is set. The binary number “0011 1010 1001 1000” is 15000 in decimal number, a timer interrupt is generated every 4 ms, and timer update processing is executed every timer interrupt, so 15000 × 4 ms = 60000 ms, and 60 seconds are counted. To do. When 600 seconds is selected as the variation time in the probabilistic / non-time-reduced game (that is, the gaming state in which the second main game symbol is the main symbol variation), the binary number “0010 0100 1001 1111 0000” is selected as the 3-byte timer. Is set in the upper 1 byte and the lower 2 bytes. Specifically, “0010” is set in the upper 1 byte, “0100 1001 1111 0000” is set in the lower 2 bytes, and 600 seconds are counted.

  Next, in step 1407-11, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M follows the first main game symbol display unit A21g of the first main game symbol display device A20 according to the temporarily stored variation mode. Start displaying fluctuations. Next, in step 1407-12, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the first main game changing flag, and proceeds to step 1407-19.

  On the other hand, if No in Step 1407-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game changing flag is on in Step 1407-13. If Yes in step 1407-13, the process proceeds to step 1407-14, and if No in step 1407-13, the process proceeds to the next process {step 1400 (2) (second process)}.

  Next, in Step 1407-14, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game symbol variation interruption flag is off. If Yes in step 1407-14, the process proceeds to step 1407-19. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 1407-14, in Step 1407-15, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the small hit execution flag has changed from on to off. In the case of Yes in step 1407-15, in step 1407-16, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the main game symbol variation interruption flag. Next, in step 1407-17-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M resumes the change of the first main game symbol. Next, in step 1407-17-2, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M resumes subtraction of the first main game timer. Next, in step 1407-18, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the information that the symbol variation of the first main game symbol has been resumed, and the next processing { Step 1400 (2) (second process)}. Even in the case of No in step 1407-15, the process proceeds to the next process {step 1400 (2) (second process)}.

  Next, in step 1407-19, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game timer has timed out. In the case of Yes in step 1407-19, in step 1407-20, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M stops the first main game symbol with the determined stop symbol. In the case of No in step 1407-19, in step 1407-21, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is turned on by the processing of the second main game symbol (the big hit by the second main game symbol). Is started). In the case of Yes in step 1407-21, in step 1407-22, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M stops the first main game symbol with a lost symbol. When step 1407-20 and step 1407-22 are completed, the routine proceeds to step 1407-27. When the first main game symbol is stopped, a symbol fixed time of a predetermined time (for example, 800 ms) is provided, and the symbol fixed time is updated by a 2-byte timer update process.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1407-21, in step 1407-23, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the small hit flag is on by the processing of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1407-23, in step 1407-24, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the first main game symbol variation interruption flag. Next, in step 1407-25, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stops subtraction of the first main game timer. Next, in step 1407-26, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the information that the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is interrupted, and the next processing { Step 1400 (2) (second process)}. Even in the case of No in step 1407-23, the processing proceeds to the next processing {step 1400 (2) (second processing)}.

  Next, in step 1407-27, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to information indicating that the first main game symbol is stopped and displayed, and in step 1407-28, The CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the first main game changing flag. Next, in step 1430, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1440, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the condition device operation flag, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, if No in step 1430, the process proceeds to step 1500.

  Next, in step 1500, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 38 shows a second main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 (2) (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, in Step 1408-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the second variation start condition is satisfied. Here, the second variation start condition is not in a special game (or in the condition device operation), is not in a second main game symbol variation, and there is a hold of the second main game symbol, and small The condition is that the game is not hit. That is, since the parallel lottery can be executed, when the process related to the second main game symbol is executed, there is no problem even if the first main game symbol fluctuates, but the second main game symbol is fluctuating. If there is, the variation start condition on the second main game side is not satisfied. Although not shown in this example, when a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the second main game symbol is displayed) is provided, the fluctuation of the next fluctuation is displayed during the variable fixed time. You may comprise so that start conditions may not be satisfy | filled.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step 1408-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M temporarily stores the second main game content determination random number related to the current symbol change in steps 1408-2 and 1408-3. Is deleted from the hold information (holding digestion process). Next, in step 1408-4, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the second main game success / failure lottery table corresponding to each game state in the second embodiment, and determines the second main game content determination random number (particularly, , Winning lottery random number), the second main game symbol winning lottery is executed. It should be noted that in the second main game symbol determination lottery, if the first main game symbol is changing the symbol related to the jackpot symbol, (1) if the random determination value (the second main game symbol) the lottery result is a jackpot If the result of lottery (for the second main game symbol) is a small hit, the small hit is determined as it is. In other words, a state in which a big hit is won in both the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol and the fluctuation that becomes the big win cannot occur. While the first main game symbol is a big hit, the second main game symbol may win a small hit.

  Next, in step 1408-5, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the second main game symbol determination lottery table in the second embodiment, determines the second main game symbol determination lottery result, and the second main game content. A stop symbol related to the second main game symbol is determined based on the determined random number (particularly, the symbol lottery random number), and these are temporarily stored. Next, in step 1408-6, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the second main game variation mode determination lottery table corresponding to each game state in the second embodiment, and determines the main game symbol success / failure lottery result and The variation mode of the second main game symbol is determined based on the second main game content determination random number (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number), and these are temporarily stored in the RAM area of the main control board M.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIG. 42 is an example of a second main game variation mode determination lottery table. As shown in the figure, in the second embodiment, the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol with respect to a certain random value is determined based on the result of lottery determination of the main game symbol, the probability variation flag state, and the short time flag state. Configured to get. For example, the symbol variation time when the second main game symbol is lost is the game in which the first main game side is the main game due to the symbol variation in the gaming state in which the second main game side is the main game (probability variation / non-time reduction game). In the gaming state (in non-probability change / non-time reduction game, non-probability change / time reduction game, in probability change / time reduction game), the symbol variation is configured to be relatively long. This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, or the like.

  Next, in step 1408-7, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the determined stop symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1408-7, in step 1408-9, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the special game content (information on the big hit start demo time, information on the performance in the big hit start demonstration, etc.) based on the big hit symbol, and hits the big hit Store in the buffer. Next, in the case of No in step 1408-7, in step 1408-8, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the determined stop symbol is a small hit symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1408-8, in step 1408-10, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the small hit game content (information about the small hit start demonstration time, information about the performance during the small hit, etc.) based on the small hit symbol. Store in the small hit buffer. In the second embodiment, at the start of symbol variation, the gaming state is stored in the variation start storage buffer shown in FIG. 40 based on the determined big hit symbol and small hit symbol. As described above, the fluctuation start storage buffer is configured to be provided separately for the big hit and the small hit. For example, in the case of a big hit, A (10 seconds) is stored in the storage area for the big hit hit start demonstration time, and C (fanfare effect) is stored in the storage area for the big hit hit start demonstration effect. In the case of a small hit, B (2 seconds) is stored in the storage area of the hit start demonstration time for the small hit, and D (small hit start effect) is stored in the storage area of the hit start demonstration effect for the small hit. To do. As a small hitting start effect, a process for counting up the display of the number of small hits is executed when the probability variation and the non-time reduction state are in effect. The big hit start demo time and the small hit start demo time are updated by the 2-byte timer update process of the timer update process. If step 1408-9 and step 1408-10 are completed, and if step 1408-8 is No, the process proceeds to step 1408-11. The variation start storage buffer is configured to be provided separately for the big hit buffer and the small hit buffer, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured as a first main game buffer and a second main game buffer. .

  Next, in step 1408-11, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M causes the temporarily stored command (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) and the current gaming state relating to the second main game symbol. Is set in a command transmission buffer for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (sent to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). To do. Next, in step 1408-12, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined time related to the variation time of the second main game symbol in the second main game symbol variation management timer, and starts subtraction.

  Next, in step 1408-13, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M follows the second main game symbol display unit B21g of the second main game symbol display device B20 according to the temporarily stored variation mode. Start displaying fluctuations. Next, in step 1408-14, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the second main game changing flag, and proceeds to step 1408-16.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 1408-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the second main game changing flag is on in Step 1408-15. If Yes in step 1408-15, the process proceeds to step 1408-16, and if No in step 1408-15, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1550).

  Next, in step 1408-16, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the second main game timer has timed out. In the case of Yes in step 1408-16, in step 1408-17, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M stops the second main game symbol with the determined stop symbol. In the case of No in step 1408-16, in step 1408-18, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is turned on by the processing of the first main game symbol (the big hit by the first main game symbol). Is started). In the case of Yes in step 1408-18, in step 1408-19, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M stops the second main game symbol with a lost symbol (the first main game symbol during the change of the second main game symbol). When the jackpot symbol is stopped at the second game symbol, the second main game symbol is forcibly stopped at the lost symbol). When Steps 1408-17 and 1408-19 are completed, the process proceeds to Step 1408-20. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408-18, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1550). Although not shown, when the second main game symbol is stopped, a symbol fixed time (sometimes referred to as variable fixed time) of a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) is provided, and the symbol fixed time is 2 bytes. It is updated by timer update processing. The symbol fixed time may be the same time or different time when the first main game symbol is stopped and when the second main game symbol is stopped, or may be different time depending on the game state.

  Next, in step 1408-20, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub control board S side) related to the information that the second main game symbol is stopped and displayed. At 21, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the second main game changing flag. Here, in step 1408-20, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command indicating whether or not the change of the first main game symbol has been stopped. Specifically, the interruption command (MODE: C6H) shown in FIG. 50 is set. At this time, when the variation of the first main game symbol is not stopped, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets MODE: C6H, EVENT: 00H and sets a command indicating that the first main game symbol is not interrupted. To do. Here, when the first main game symbol is interrupted, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command indicating that the first main game symbol is interrupted as MODE: C6H and EVENT: 01H. Further, if the first main game symbol is interrupted while the lose symbol is stopped, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M is MODE: C6H, EVENT: 02H, and the first main game symbol is interrupted when the lose symbol is stopped. Set a command to indicate

  Next, in step 1408-22, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1408-22, in step 1408-23, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the big hit start demonstration time based on the contents of the big hit buffer, and in step 1408-24, the main control board M The CPUC 100 turns on the condition device operation flag. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408-22, in step 1408-25, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol is a small hit symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1408-25, in step 1408-26, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the small hit start demo time based on the contents of the buffer for small hits, and in step 1408-27, the main control board. The M CPUC 100 turns on the small hit flag. The big hit start demo time and the small hit start demo time are updated by the 2-byte timer update process of the timer update process. When Step 1408-24 and Step 1408-27 are completed, and when No in Step 1408-25, the process proceeds to Step 1500.

  Next, in step 1500, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of Step 1500 (second) in FIGS. 37 and 38 in the second embodiment. Differences from this embodiment are step 1503-1, step 1503-2, and step 1503-3. First, in step 1503-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the probability variation end condition is satisfied. Here, the probability variation end conditions are (1) reaching the number of fluctuations of 10,000 in the probability variation state, and (2) winning the non-probability variation symbol. Note that the number of fluctuations of 10,000 in the probability variation state is a specification in which the probability variation continues substantially until the next big hit by setting the probability variation number to 10,000 in a so-called ST machine. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible that the probability variation end condition is that (2) a non-probable variation symbol is won. Next, in step 1503-2, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the time reduction termination condition is satisfied. Note that the short-time end condition will be described in a game state determination process after the end of the special game in step 1650 (second) in FIG. 46 described later. In the case of Yes in step 1503-2, in step 1503-3, the CPUC 100 of the main control means M turns off the time reduction flag, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1550). In the case of No in step 1503-2, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1550 of FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is step 1554 (second), and in step 1554 (second), the CPU 100 of the main control board M turns off the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / time-short flag).

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 of FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is that step 1601 (second), step 1609-1 (second), step 1609-2 (second), step 1611-1 (second), step 1611-2 (second) Step 1611-3 (second) and step 1650 (second). In step 1601 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the big hit start demo flag is OFF. If Yes in step 1601 (second), the process proceeds to step 1602, and if No in step 1601 (second), the process proceeds to step 1611-1 (second). Next, in step 1609-1 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (10 seconds) to the big hit start demo time timer and starts the timer. Next, in step 1609-2 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the jackpot start demo flag. Next, in step 1611-1 (second), the CPU 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the big hit start demo time timer value is zero. If YES in step 1611-1 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the jackpot start demo flag in step 1611-2 (second). Next, in step 1611-3 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the special game execution flag, and proceeds to step 1612. In addition, in the case of No in step 1611-1 (second), the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1700). Step 1650 (second) is a game state determination process after the end of the special game, and will be described with reference to FIG.

  Next, FIG. 46 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 1650 (second) in FIG. 45 in the second embodiment. Differences from this embodiment are step 1651-1, step 1651-2, and step 1651-3. In step 1651-1, the CPU 100 of the main control board M determines that the stop symbol is a probabilistic jackpot symbol (a jackpot symbol that will shift to the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot is over. In this example, 2A-A, 2B-A 2C-A, 2A-B, 2B-B). In the case of Yes in step 1651-1, the process proceeds to step 1654, and thereafter, the process proceeds to step 1651-2. In addition, also when it is No in step 1651-1, it transfers to step 1651-2. Next, in step 1651-2, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not it is decided to shift to the time-reduced gaming state after the big hit, based on the gaming state at the time of the big hit and the big hit symbol. (See the table on the right side of the figure). In the case of Yes in step 1651-2, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the time reduction flag in step 1651-3 and shifts to the next process {step 1700 (second) process}. In the case of No in step 1651-2, the process proceeds to the next process {step 1700 (second) process}. Here, the probability variation count and the time reduction count will be described. When the winning symbol with probability variation is selected as the winning symbol, and when there is a shorter time, the probability variation number is selected as 10,000 times and the shorter time as 10,000 times. When the jackpot symbol (2D-A) without certain change is selected as the jackpot symbol of the first main game symbol, the short-time end condition is common in any gaming state, and (1) the first main game symbol is 30. (2) When the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol satisfy a total of 99 times, the time reduction is completed. When the big win symbol (2C-B, 2D-B, 2E-B) without probability change is selected in the big win symbol of the second main game symbol, the condition for short-time completion is different based on the game state and the big hit symbol . Specifically, the game state when the big win is won is the game state in which the first main game side symbol variation is the main game (non-probability and non-time-short state, non-probability and short-time state, probabilistic and short-time state) In some cases, and in the gaming state (probability variation and non-shortening time) in which the game state when winning is won is the state where the symbol variation on the second main game side is main (probability and non-shortening time), (1) or (2) described in the jackpot symbol of the main game symbol), but the game state when the jackpot is won is the game in which the symbol variation on the second main game side is the main In the state (probabilistic and non-temporal), in the jackpot symbol 2D-B, either (1) the first main game symbol is 60 times, (2) the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is 99 times in total. When it is satisfied, the time reduction is completed. Furthermore, in the game state (probability change and non-short time) in which the game state when the big hit is won is a game state in which the second main game side has a main symbol change (probability and non-short time), (1) the first main game symbol is 90 (2) When the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol satisfy a total of 99 times, the time reduction is completed.

  Next, FIG. 47 is a flowchart of the small hit game control process according to the subroutine of Step 1700 (second) of FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. First, in Step 1703-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the small hit start demo flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1703-1, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the small hit flag is on in step 1703-2. In the case of Yes in Step 1703-2, in Step 1703-3, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the small hit flag. Next, in Step 1703-4, the CPU C100 of the main control board M sets the opening pattern of the special winning opening C20 related to the round. Next, in Step 1703-5, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a gaming state information command relating to the start of the small hit game to the sub side. Next, in Step 1703-6, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (for example, 2 seconds) to the small hit start demo time timer and starts the timer. Next, step 1703-7 turns on the small hit start demo flag. On the other hand, if No in Step 1703-1, the process proceeds to Step 1703-8. In the case of No in step 1703-2, in step 1703-13, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the small hit execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1703-13, the process proceeds to step 1703-14. Next, in step 1703-8, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the small hit start demo time timer value is zero. In the case of Yes in Step 1703-8, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the small hit start demo flag in Step 1703-9. Next, in step 1703-10, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the small hit execution flag. Next, in Step 1703-11, the CPU C100 of the main control board M opens the second big prize opening C20 and starts the small hit game. Next, in step 1703-12, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a game state information command related to the small hit game to the sub control board S side. Next, in Step 1703-14, the CPU C100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a winning in the second big winning opening C20. In the case of Yes in Step 1703-14, in Step 1703-15, the CPU C100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined number (10 in this example) has been won in the second big prize opening C20. In the case of Yes in step 1703-15, the process proceeds to step 1703-17. On the other hand, if step 1703-14 or step 1703-15 is No, in step 1703-16, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M has reached a small hit game timer value for a predetermined time (eg, 1.800 seconds). It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1703-16, the process proceeds to step 1703-17. In the small hit game, the second big winning opening C20 may be opened a plurality of times. Specifically, the opening time of the second big prize opening C20 is measured, and when the specific time (for example, 0.200 seconds) is reached, the second big prize opening C20 is closed, and the total opening time is a predetermined time (for example, 1 .. 800 seconds), the small hit game may be terminated, and if the predetermined time has not been reached, the second big prize opening C20 may be opened again. Further, the number of times of opening the second big prize opening C20 may be varied according to the small hit symbol.

  Next, in Step 1703-17, the CPUC100 of the main control board M closes the second big prize opening C20. Thereafter, the restart command (MODE: C7H) shown in FIG. 50 to be transmitted to the sub side is set. Specifically, when the variation of the first main game symbol is not stopped, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets MODE: C7H, EVENT: 00H and issues a command indicating that the first main game symbol does not resume. set. When the variation of the first main game symbol has been stopped, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command indicating that the variation of the first main game symbol has been resumed as MODE: C7H and EVENT: 01H. Further, when resuming the lost symbol stop of the first main game symbol, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets MODE: C7H, EVENT: 02H to indicate that the first main game symbol has resumed the lose symbol stop. Set. Next, in Step 1703-17, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M resets the small hit gaming timer. Next, in Step 1703-23, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a small hit game end display command to the sub side. Next, in step 1703-24, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the small hit execution flag, and proceeds to the next process (step 1997). It should be noted that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1997) also in the case of No in steps 1703-13 and 1703-16.

  Next, FIG. 48 is a main flowchart on the sub-main control unit side in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is step 2100 (second). In step 2100 (second), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes volume / light quantity adjustment processing, and the process proceeds to step 2400.

  Next, FIG. 49 is a flowchart of the volume / light quantity adjustment processing according to the subroutine of step 2100 (second) in FIG. 48 in the second embodiment. First, in step 2101, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state (that is, the symbol variation in the second main gaming symbol is the main variation). It is determined whether or not the gaming state becomes the game of the game). In the case of Yes in step 2101 (= in the case of a game state in which the symbol variation in the second main game symbol is the main game), in step 2102, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs the button operation (operation of the cross button SB-2). ) Is determined. In the case of Yes in Step 2102, in Step 2103, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes volume adjustment or light amount adjustment related to symbol variation on the second main game side in response to a button operation (operation of the cross button SB-2). (For example, the left button operation decreases the volume by one step, the right button operation increases the volume by one step, the upper button operation increases the light amount by one step, and the lower button operation decreases the light amount by one step). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2101 (= in the case of a gaming state in which the symbol variation in the first main game symbol is the main game), in step 2104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the symbol variation in the first main game symbol. It is determined whether or not is stopped. In the case of Yes in step 2104, in step 2105, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a button operation (operation of the cross button SB-2) has been performed. In the case of Yes in step 2105, in step 2106, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes volume adjustment or light amount adjustment related to symbol variation on the first main game side in response to a button operation (operation of the cross button SB-2). To do. The volume adjustment or the light quantity adjustment may be configured such that the volume adjustment or the light quantity adjustment can be performed by operating the cross button SB-2 after the sub input button SB is operated. As an example, the game is stopped (main game When the sub input button SB is operated in the case where the design does not change and there is no hold for 3 seconds or more), the menu screen is displayed, and the cross button SB-2 is operated on the menu screen. The user may select a desired item and then operate the sub input button SB again to display a screen for adjusting the volume or the amount of light. The timing at which the volume or the amount of light can be adjusted is in the non-probable and non-time-short state, non-probable and time-short state, probable and short-time state, while the first main game symbol is suspended (the second main game symbol is suspended) Any change is possible), and it is possible at any time regardless of whether the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol are changing or stopped in the probabilistic and non-time-short state. Yes. After step 2103 and step 2106 are completed, if step 2102, step 2104, or step 2105 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 50 is a time chart according to the second embodiment relating to the suspension / resumption of symbol variation and the forced stop of a lost symbol. First, the timing (1) is a timing at which the big hit variation starts in the first main game symbol while the second main game symbol is in the normal state (non-probability and non-time-short state). Next, timing (2) is timing when the big hit variation of the first main game symbol stops. At this time, even if the loss variation of the second main game symbol has not yet passed the fluctuation time, the loss variation of the second main game symbol is stopped based on the stoppage of the big hit variation of the first main game symbol. . Next, the timing (5) is a timing at which the first main game symbol is in the losing state and the small hit variation is stopped in the second main game symbol in the latent state (probability and non-time-short state). At this time, if the loss variation of the first main game symbol has not yet passed the fluctuation time, the loss variation of the first main game symbol is based on the fact that the small hit variation has stopped in the second main game symbol. Interrupted. The CPUC 100 of the main control board M transmits an interruption command (command indicating interruption during change) to the CPUSC of the sub control board S. Next, timing (8) is timing when the small hit game with the second main game symbol is completed. At this time, the suspended fluctuation of the first main game symbol that has been interrupted is resumed, and the CPUC 100 of the main control board M transmits a resume command (a command indicating the resume of fluctuation) to the CPUSC of the sub control board S. Next, the timing (9) is a timing at which the first main game symbol is changing in the latent state (probability and non-time reduction state) and the big hit change is stopped in the second main game symbol. At this time, even if the loss variation of the first main game symbol has not yet passed the variation time, the loss variation of the first main game symbol is stopped based on the stoppage of the big hit variation of the second main game symbol. .

  Next, FIG. 51 is a time chart showing the timing at which volume and light quantity adjustment is possible in the second embodiment. Basically, it is possible to adjust the volume and the light amount for the fluctuation corresponding effect related to the main game side symbol fluctuation. In the gaming state where the first main game symbol variation is the main, the volume and light quantity can be adjusted while the first main game symbol variation is stopped, and the second main game symbol variation is the main game. In the state, the volume and light intensity can be adjusted at any time. Specifically, first, in the latent state (probabilistic and non-short-time state), when the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol at the timing (1) are both suspended and when the special symbol at the timing (2) In any case, the volume and light quantity can be adjusted for the game on the second main game side (the second main game symbol is changing at the timing (2), but the first main game The same is true even if the design is changing). Next, the timing (3) is a short-time state (a game state in which the first main game symbol variation is the main), the first main game symbol is suspended, and the second main game symbol is varying. . At this time, since the variation of the first main game symbol that is the main game is stopped, the volume and light amount can be adjusted for the game on the first main game side. Next, timing (4) is a short-time state (a game state in which the first main game symbol variation is the main), and both the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol are changing. At this time, since the first main game symbol which is the main game is changing, it is impossible to adjust the volume and light amount for the game on the first main game side. Next, timing (5) is the timing at which the time reduction state ends and the normal state is entered. Since the normal state is a game state in which the first main game symbol variation is the main game state, if the first main game symbol variation is stopped, the volume / light quantity adjustment can be performed for the game on the first main game side. is there. Therefore, at the timing (5), the volume / light quantity can be adjusted. Next, the timing (6) is a timing at which a predetermined time (for example, 242 seconds) elapses in a state where the symbol variation on the first main game side and the symbol variation on the second main game side are both stopped. At this time, a stand-by demonstration effect (an effect that can be executed when it is determined that the game is not progressing, for example, an effect of displaying a moving image related to the explanation of the character appearing in various effects on the gaming machine) is generated. The volume and amount of light during the standby demonstration may be the contents set by the player, or may be set as defaults upon the transition to the standby demonstration effect. The CPUC 100 of the main control board M measures the predetermined time for generating the standby demonstration effect, transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has passed to the CPUSC of the sub control board S, and the CPUSC of the sub control board S The standby demonstration effect may be generated based on the received command indicating that the predetermined time has elapsed, or the CPUSC of the sub control board S may measure the passage of the predetermined time and generate the standby demonstration effect. Good. In the gaming state in which the first main game symbol variation is the main, the volume / light quantity adjustment can be performed on the condition that the first main game symbol is suspended. For example, the volume / light quantity may be adjusted after 2 seconds).

  Next, FIG. 52 is a game state transition diagram in the second embodiment. Here, a main game flow will be described. First, in the normal state (non-stochastic game state and non-time-reduced game state), aim to enter the first main game start opening A10 (left-handed) and play the game with the first main game symbol. Do. When the first main game symbol is a big hit, non-probable and short-time hit (non-probability change gaming state and big time that will shift to a time-saving game state after the big hit ends), probable and short-time hit (probability fluctuation after the big hit ends) It can be either a gaming state and a jackpot that will shift to a time-saving gaming state) or a probabilistic and non-time-saving bonus (a jackpot that will shift to a probability-variable gaming state and a non-time-saving gaming state after the jackpot is over). In the case of non-probability and short-time hits, play the game by changing the first main game symbol by entering the right first main game start opening A30 (At this time, because it is a time-reduced game state, right-handed to the right A game is played at the first main game start opening A30). Similarly, in the case of the probable change and the short time state, the game is performed by changing the first main game symbol by entering the right first main game start opening A30. In the latent state (probability changing gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state), the second main game symbol is changed to play a game (right-handed and aiming at the second main game starting port B10). In the latent state (probability variation game state and non-time-reduced game state), the player wins by winning a small hit in the second main game symbol (the variation time of the second main game symbol in the latent state is relative) This is the most advantageous state for the player because it is a short time, and it is possible to obtain a lottery by winning the small hits continuously). In the non-stochastic gaming state and the time shortening gaming state, in the probability varying gaming state and the time shortening gaming state, the most advantageous latent state (probability varying gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state) is won by winning per probability and non-time reduction. Can be migrated to. In the latent state (the probability variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state), if the winning is non-probabilistic and time-saving, the game shifts to the non-probability variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state. At this time, the number of time reductions may differ depending on the winning symbol. If the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state satisfy the short-time end condition, the non-stochastic variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state are obtained, and the latent state (the probability variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state) is aimed again It becomes.

(Summary of second embodiment)
By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, a timer that can be measured in 2 bytes in a gaming machine in which the first main gaming symbol and the second main gaming symbol can be varied simultaneously. When a value (for example, symbol fixed time, 10 seconds) and a timer value to be measured in 3 bytes (for example, fluctuation time of 600 seconds) is provided, and it is necessary to set a timer value that will be used for 3 bytes for a long time In addition, by setting “1 byte + 2 bytes”, it is possible to update the 3-byte timer using the 2-byte timer update process, and to set a long time as the fluctuation time of the non-main symbol variation The process was configured efficiently (without squeezing the data capacity). With this configuration, a 3-byte update process can be appropriately performed in a CPU that does not have a 3-byte update instruction, and the data capacity is not reduced. In addition, when a small hit is made in the second main game symbol (it is easy to win a small hit in the second main game symbol), the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is interrupted, and the big hit and small By changing the memory buffer at the start of fluctuation at the time of winning, in the gaming state where the second main gaming symbol is the main, winning the small hit by the second main gaming symbol, the big hit of the first main gaming symbol Resolved disappearing concerns. More specifically, by first storing the data in the storage buffer at the start of the fluctuation, it is possible to determine whether the big hit or the small hit has been made depending on the gaming state at the start of the fluctuation. In this configuration, it is determined that the big hit has been made after the probability change end or the time saving end at the end of the fluctuation (that is, if the time reduction is 100 times the upper limit number, it is stored at the start of the big hit. The content to be played will be “100 big hits in a short time”, but if it is judged at the end of the big hit, it will be “a big hit in the short time end (= non-short time state)”), it will be a gaming state disadvantageous to the player It will be. }. As described above, when the change becomes a big hit or a small hit, the game state at the start of the change and the big hit or the small hit of the change are stored, but a configuration in which a plurality of main game symbols do not change simultaneously. Then, since any one of big hits or small hits can occur, only the storage buffer related to “win” is sufficient for the contents stored at the start of fluctuation. However, in a configuration in which a plurality of main game symbols change at the same time, for example, if the first main game symbol is changing the big hit, and then the second main game symbol is won, the first main game symbol is first changed. At the start of the change of the game symbol, since the game state at the start of the change is a big hit, the contents are stored in the storage buffer related to “win”. After that, when a small win is won in the second main game symbol, the contents are overwritten in the storage buffer related to “win”. In this case, even though the first main game symbol is a big hit, the content of the first main game symbol big hit disappears due to the small hit of the second main game symbol generated later. In order to eliminate this phenomenon, the big hit buffer and the small hit buffer are made separate. Furthermore, when playing with the first main game pattern and when playing with the second main game pattern, it is possible to adjust at a timing suitable for the game state by changing the conditions for adjusting the volume and light amount. I am doing so. The timing at which the volume or the amount of light can be adjusted is in the non-probable and non-time-short state, non-probable and time-short state, probable and short-time state, while the first main game symbol is suspended (the second main game symbol is suspended) Any change is possible), and it is possible at any time regardless of whether the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol are changing or stopped in the probabilistic and non-time-short state. Yes.
