  The common drawing variation display game is provided on the collective display device 50, and is displayed on the fluctuation display unit (general drawing indicator) 53 configured by the LED, and the lighting mode and lighting color of this LED are ordinary Make identification information (general drawing, normal symbol). In addition, the common view display 53 is configured as a display device, and for example, numbers, symbols, character symbols, etc. are used as ordinary identification information, and after being displayed for a predetermined period of time, it is stopped and displayed. You may. If the stop display of the common drawing fluctuation display game is a common drawing specification result, it becomes a hit of the common drawing, and the movable member 37b of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 is opened for a predetermined time. Thereby, the game ball easily wins the second starting winning opening inside the normal variation winning device 37, and the number of times the second special view variation display game is executed increases.

  The winning balls to the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97 and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 are respectively detected by the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switches 37a and 97a provided therein. The game ball that has won the first start winning opening 36 is detected as the start winning ball of the first special view variation display game, and is stored as the special view 1 start memory with a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) within the limit The game ball that has won the second start winning opening 97 or the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is detected as the start winning ball of the second special view variation display game, and a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) as the special view 2 start memory Is stored to the limit. In addition, when the start winning ball is detected, the big hit random number value and the big hit symbol random number value, and each fluctuation pattern random number value are extracted as start memory information, respectively, and the extracted random number values The special map storage area (a part of the RAM) is stored as a special map start storage within a predetermined number of times (for example, up to four times). Then, the number of storages of this special view start storage is displayed on the storage display unit (special view 1 suspension display 54, special view 2 suspension display 55) for notifying the start winning number of the collective display device 50, and the center The display device 41 of the case 40 and the information display device 800 are also displayed as the decoration special view start storage display.

  The game control device 100 is a special figure 1 display 51 (variation display device) or based on the winning of the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97 or the normal fluctuation winning device 37, or their starting memory. A first or second special view variable display game is performed by the special view 2 display 52 (the variable display device). The first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game are performed by variably displaying a plurality of special symbols (special figure, identification information) and then displaying a predetermined result mode as a stop. Further, a decorative special-figure variation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character patterns, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device (image display device) 41 is executed. Then, when the display mode of the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52 becomes the special result mode (special result) as a result of the special view variation display game, it becomes a big hit and the special gaming state ( It becomes so-called, the big hit state). In addition, the result mode of the decorative feature variation display game displayed on the display device 41 or the information display device 800 corresponding to this is also a special result mode. In addition, when the display mode of the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52 becomes a small hit result mode as a result of the special view variation display game, the small hit becomes a small hit small game state (so-called , Small hit state). In addition, the result mode of the decorative feature variation display game displayed on the display device 41 or the information display device 800 corresponding to this is also a small hit result mode.

  The decoration special figure variation display game in the display device 41 is, for example, a left variation display area (first special symbol), a right variation display area In each of the second special symbol) and the middle variation display area (third special symbol), each symbol is variably displayed (high speed variation) at a speed that makes identification difficult. Then, the symbols changing after a predetermined time are stopped sequentially in the order of the left change display area, the right change display area, and the middle change display area, and stopped in each of the left change display area, the right change display area, and the middle change display area. It is performed by displaying the result of the special figure variation display game according to the result mode configured by the displayed identification information. Further, in the display device 41, while performing the variable display game by the decoration special symbol corresponding to the special drawing start memory number, various effect display such as appearance of a character is performed to improve interest. In addition, in the information display device 800, as described above, the decorative feature variation display game is executed using L1 and L2.

  The special view 1 display 51 and the special view 2 display 52 may be separate displays or the same display, but each special view fluctuation display so as not to be executed independently or simultaneously The game is displayed. Also, the display device 41 may use separate display devices or separate display areas in the first special view variable display game and the second special view variable display game, or use the same display device or display area. The decoration special feature variation display game is displayed so as not to be executed independently and simultaneously, though it is good. Further, the special view variation display game may be executed only by the display device 41 without providing the special view 1 display 51 and the special view 2 display 52 in the gaming machine 10.

  In addition, the first start winning opening 36 (or the second starting winning opening) is possible in a state where the first special view changing display game (second special view changing display game) can be started and the number of starting memories is 0. When the gaming ball wins in 97 or the normal variation winning device 37), the starting memory is stored along with the generation of the starting right, and the number of starting memories is increased by one, and immediately after the starting memory, the first special The figure variation display game (the second special figure variation display game) is started, and at this time, the number of starting memories is decremented by one. On the other hand, the first special view variation display game (second special view variation display game) can not be started immediately, for example, the first or second special view variation display game is already played, and the special view variation display game is ended. If the game ball wins in the first start winning opening 36 (or the second starting winning opening 97 or the normal fluctuation winning device 37) in the non-playing state, the special gaming state or the small hitting gaming state, the starting is started. If the number of memories is less than the upper limit number, the number of starting memories is incremented by one and one starting memory is stored. Then, when the number of starting memories becomes 1 or more, the first special view variation display game (the second special view variation display game) can be started (the end of the previous special view variation display game or the special gaming state, When the small hit gaming state ends), the number of starting memories is decremented by one, and the first special view variation display game (second special view variation display game) is started based on the stored starting storage. In the following description, when the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game are not distinguished from one another, they are simply referred to as a special view variation display game.

  Although the invention is not particularly limited, the start opening 1 switch 36a in the first start winning opening 36, the second start winning opening 97, the start opening 2 switches 37a and 97a in the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37, and the gate switch 34a, winning opening switch 35a, large winning opening switch 38a, a non-contact type magnetic proximity sensor that detects a game ball using a phenomenon that a magnetic detection coil is provided and a magnetic field changes when metal approaches the coil (Hereinafter referred to as a proximity switch) is used.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a control system of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment.
The gaming machine 10 is provided with a gaming control apparatus 100, and the gaming control apparatus 100 is a main control apparatus (main substrate) for controlling the game in an integrated manner, and a gaming microcomputer 111 (hereinafter referred to as gaming microcomputer). And an input unit 120 having an input port, an output unit 130 having an output port and a driver, and a data bus 140 for connecting the CPU unit 110, the input unit 120, and the output unit 130. .

  The CPU unit 110 includes a gaming microcomputer (CPU) 111 called an amusement chip (IC) and an oscillator such as a crystal oscillator, and serves as a reference clock for the CPU operating clock or timer interrupt and a random number generation circuit. An oscillator circuit (crystal oscillator) 113 or the like is generated. The game control apparatus 100 and electronic components such as a solenoid and a motor driven by the game control apparatus 100 are supplied with a DC voltage of a predetermined level such as DC 32 V, DC 12 V, DC 5 V generated by the power supply apparatus 400 to be operable Be done.

  The power supply apparatus 400 is a normal power supply having an AC-DC converter that generates the DC voltage of 32 V from an AC power supply of 24 V and a DC-DC converter that generates DC voltages of 12 V and 5 V lower than DC voltage of 32 V. A power failure monitoring signal for notifying the game control device 100 of the occurrence and recovery of a power failure, having a backup power supply unit 420 for supplying a power supply voltage to the RAM in the gaming microcomputer 111 at power failure and a power failure monitoring circuit. And a control signal generation unit 430 that generates and outputs a control signal such as a reset signal.

  In this embodiment, the power supply 400 is configured separately from the game control apparatus 100, but the backup power supply 420 and the control signal generator 430 are integrated on a separate board or with the game control 100, ie, main It may be configured to be provided on a substrate. Since the game board 30 and the game control apparatus 100 are subject to replacement at the time of model change, as in the present embodiment, the backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 430 are mounted on a substrate different from the power supply 400 or the main substrate. Can be removed from the target of replacement and cost reduction can be achieved.

  The backup power supply unit 420 can be configured of one large-capacity capacitor such as an electrolytic capacitor. The backup power supply is supplied to the gaming microcomputer 111 (particularly the built-in RAM) of the gaming control apparatus 100, and data stored in the RAM is held even during a power failure or even after the power is shut off. The control signal generation unit 430 monitors, for example, the voltage of 32 V generated by the normal power supply unit 410, detects the occurrence of a power failure when it falls below 17 V, for example, and changes the power failure monitoring signal. Output Also, at the time of power on or recovery from a power failure, a reset signal is output after a predetermined time has elapsed from that time.

  In addition, the game control device 100 is provided with a RAM initialization switch 112. When the RAM initialization switch 112 is operated, an initialization switch signal is generated, and based on this, the information stored in the RAM 111C in the gaming microcomputer 111 and the RAM in the payout control device 200 is forcibly initialized. Processing is performed. Although not particularly limited, the initialization switch signal is read when the power is turned on, and the power failure monitoring signal is repeatedly read in the main loop of the main program executed by the gaming microcomputer 111. The reset signal is a type of forced interrupt signal and causes the entire control system to be reset.

  The gaming microcomputer 111 includes a CPU (central processing unit: microprocessor) 111A, a read only ROM (read only memory) 111B, and a random access memory (RAM) 111C which can be read and written as needed.

  The ROM 111B stores invariable information (program, fixed data, determination values of various random numbers, etc.) for game control in a non-volatile manner, and the RAM 111C stores a working area of the CPU 111A and storage areas of various signals and random values during game control. It is used as An electrically rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM may be used as the ROM 111B or the RAM 111C.

  Further, the ROM 111B stores, for example, a variation pattern table for determining a variation pattern (variation mode) that defines the execution time of the special view variation display game, the contents of the effect, the presence or absence of the reach state, and the like. The variation pattern table is a table for the CPU 111A to determine a variation pattern by referring to the variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 stored as start storage. Further, the fluctuation pattern table includes a falling fluctuation pattern table selected when the result is a falling, a big hit fluctuation pattern table selected when the result is a big hit, and the like. Further, in these pattern tables, tables for determining a second half fluctuation pattern which is a fluctuation pattern after reaching the reach state (second half fluctuation group table, second half fluctuation pattern selection table, etc.), fluctuation before reaching the reach state A table (a first half fluctuation group table, a first half fluctuation pattern selection table, etc.) for determining a first half fluctuation pattern which is a pattern is included.

  Here, the reach (reach state) has a display device capable of changing the display state, the display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are determined in advance. In the gaming machine 10 in which the gaming state is a gaming state (special gaming state) advantageous to the player when the special result mode is obtained, derivation is already made at a stage where a part of the plurality of display results is not yet derived and displayed. This refers to a display state in which the displayed display results satisfy the conditions for the special result mode. In addition, the reach state is deviated from the display condition which is the special result mode even when reaching the stage before the variable display control of the display device progresses and the display result is derived and displayed. There is no display mode. Then, for example, the reach state includes a state (so-called all-rotation reach) in which variable display is performed by a plurality of variable display areas while maintaining the state in which the special result mode is uniform. Further, the reach state is a display state at the time when display control of the display device progresses to a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas satisfies the condition to be the special result mode.

  Therefore, for example, the decorative special view fluctuation display game displayed on the display device corresponding to the special view fluctuation display game fluctuates a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle and right fluctuation display areas in the display device. When displaying the result mode by stopping the variable display in the order of left, right, and middle and displaying the result mode, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state where the variable display is stopped by the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition to this, when the fluctuation display of all the fluctuation display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas is satisfied (for example, the same The state where the identification information is obtained, but excluding the special result aspect) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state.

Expected values are set to increase in the order of no reach <normal reach <special 1 reach <special 2 reach <special 3 reach <premier reach. Further, this reach state is included in the variable display mode at least when the special result mode is derived in the special view variable display game (when it is a big hit). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where it is determined that the special result mode is not derived in the special view variable display game (when it is out of alignment). Therefore, the state in which the reach state occurs is a state in which the possibility of a big hit is higher than the case in which the reach state does not occur.

Then, after the identification symbol (identification information) is variably displayed for a predetermined period of time on the regular drawing display, processing is performed to display a common view variation display game which is stopped and displayed. If the result of this common drawing fluctuation display game is hit, the common drawing display displays the specific result mode corresponding to each of the first hit stop symbol to the third hit stop symbol and operates the common power solenoid 37c. The control is performed to generate a hit state in which the movable member 37b of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is opened as described above for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds or 1.7 seconds). That is, the game control apparatus 100 constitutes conversion control execution means for performing conversion control of the conversion member (movable member 37b). When the result of the common drawing variation display game is out of control, control is performed to display a result mode of the deviation on the common drawing display.

  In addition, starting winning combination (starting memory) is remembered on the basis of the input of detection signal of the game ball from starting opening 1 switch 36a which is equipped in 1st starting winning a prize opening 36, on the basis of this starting memory, 1st special figure fluctuation indication A process of determining the hit of the first special figure fluctuation display game is performed by extracting a random number value for the big hit determination of the game and comparing it with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B.

  Then, the CPU 111A of the game control device 100 outputs, to the effect control device 300, a control signal (rendering control command) including the determination result of the first special view variation display game or the second special view variation display game. Then, after the identification symbol (identification information) is variably displayed for a predetermined period of time on the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52, processing is performed to display a special view variation display game which is stopped and displayed. That is, the game control apparatus 100 is a variable display game based on winning on the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37) of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area 32. It constitutes game control means to control the progress.

  In addition, in the effect control device 300, based on the control signal from the game control device 100, the display device 41 and the information display device 800 perform processing for displaying a decorative special view fluctuation display game corresponding to the special view fluctuation display game.

That is, the effect control device 300 serves as effect control means for controlling an effect on a game (a variable display game or the like).

  The CPU 111A of the game control device 100 displays the special result mode or the small hit result mode on the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52 when the result of the special view variation display game is a big hit or a small hit. At the same time, the special game state and the small hit game state are generated. In the processing to generate the special gaming state and the small hitting gaming state, for example, the CPU 111A opens the opening and closing door 38c of the special variation winning device 38 by the large winning opening solenoid 38b, and can flow the gaming ball into the large winning opening. And control. Then, until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls win in the special winning opening, or a predetermined openable time elapses from the opening of the special winning opening, the special winning opening is achieved. Is a round, and the control (cycle game) is performed to repeat (repeat) this for a predetermined number of rounds. That is, when the stop result mode is the special result mode, the game control apparatus 100 forms a special winning opening / closing control means that performs control to open and close the special winning opening. In addition, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a release, control is performed to display a result mode of the deviation on the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52.

  In addition, the game control apparatus 100 can generate a high probability state (specific game state) as a game state after the end of the special game state based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. The high probability state is a state in which the probability of being hit in the special figure fluctuation display game is higher than that in the low probability state. In addition, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure even in the high probability state based on the result form of the special figure fluctuation display game of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game Both of the variable display games are in a high probability state. That is, the game control apparatus 100 constitutes probability setting means for setting the probability state in which the result of the variable display game is a special result to one of the low probability state and the high probability state higher than the low probability state.

  In addition, based on the result mode of the special view variation display game, the game control device 100 determines that the time saving state (a specific gaming state, a common drawing high probability state, a general power support state, a time saving operation state) It is possible to generate). In this short time state, the probability (common drawing probability) to be the hit result of the common drawing fluctuation display game is set to a high probability (general drawing high probability state) higher than 0 which is the normal probability (general drawing low probability state) Is possible. As a result, control is performed so that the opening time of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 per unit time is larger than when the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is in the low probability state (normal operation state). Here, in the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 in the present embodiment, the drawing probability is set to 0 so as not to open the movable member 37b in the normal operation state.

  Further, in the time saving state, the execution time of the common drawing variation display game (general drawing fluctuation time) is, for example, 500 ms, and the common drawing stop time for displaying the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game is, for example, 600 ms, When the common game variation display game hits and results in the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 being opened, the opening time of the first hit stop symbol (general electric station opening time) and the number of times of opening (for example, 500 ms × 1 time), The opening time of the second stop symbol (general power opening time) and the number of opening (for example, 1700 ms × 2 times), the third opening time of the stopping symbol (general power opening time) and the number of opening (for example, 1700 ms × It can be set to be 3 times).

  In addition, the execution time of the common drawing fluctuation display game, the common drawing stop time, the number of times of general electric power release, and the general electric power release time are appropriately set to perform control to set the common fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 in the short time operation state For example, in the time saving state, it is possible to control the execution time (general drawing fluctuation time) of the common drawing fluctuation display game described above to be the second fluctuation display time shorter than the first fluctuation display time. (E.g., 10000 ms is 1000 ms). Moreover, in the time saving state, it is possible to control the common drawing stop time for displaying the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game to be the second stop time shorter than the first stop time (for example, 1604 ms is 704 ms). Further, in the time saving state, when the common drawing fluctuation display game hits and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is opened, the opening time (the general public opening time) is the normal state (general drawing low probability state) It is possible to control to become the 2nd opening time longer than 1 opening time (for example, 100 ms is 1352 ms). Also, in the time saving state, the number of times of opening of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 (the number of times of general electric power release) is greater than the number of first open times (for example, 2 times) with respect to one hit result of the common drawing fluctuation display game. It is possible to set the second opening number of times (for example, four times). Also, in the time saving state, the probability of becoming a hit result of the common drawing variation display game (general drawing probability) is higher than the normal probability (general drawing low probability state, for example, 1/251) in the normal operating state. It is possible to have a probability (generally high probability state, for example, 250/251).

  In the time reduction state, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 per unit time can be changed by changing any one or more of the common drawing fluctuation time, the common drawing stop time, the number of times of common power release, the common power release time and the common drawing probability Makes the time for state conversion to the open state longer than usual. Moreover, it is also possible to set a plurality of types of time saving states which are different from each other. In the case of a hit, either the first open mode or the second open mode may be selected. In this case, the selection probabilities of the first opening mode and the second opening mode may be made different. Also, the high probability state and the short time state can be generated independently of each other, and both can be generated simultaneously or only one can be generated.

  FIG. 9 shows the probability of hitting and the type of hitting. As shown in FIG. 9A, the probability of becoming a big hit is the same in the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game. Further, the probability of being a small hit is different between the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game. This small hit probability does not change regardless of the state of the big hit probability.

  FIG. 9 (b) shows the types of hits and the average number of winning balls and the distribution probability in each type. The jackpot types include 16R positive variations A to F, 6R positive variations, and 2R positive variations A and B. The number of rounds that can be executed in the special game state is 16 rounds in each of the 16R positive variables A to F, but the effect contents of the special variation winning device 38 in each round are different. Moreover, although the number of rounds that can be executed in the special gaming state is 2 rounds in both of the 2R probability variations A and B, the contents of effects are different.

  In addition, after the special game state based on the big hit ends, it becomes high probability state (specific game state) over the period until the special figure fluctuation display game of specified number of times (here 80 times) is executed. Therefore, any jackpot type is a definite variation jackpot. That is, the game control apparatus 100 forms a specific gaming state generation means capable of generating a specific gaming state in which the variable display game is executed in an advantageous manner to the player over a predetermined period after the end of the special gaming state. Of course, it may include a normal big hit that makes a low probability state after the end of the special game state. In addition, in the case of the special game fluctuation display game a predetermined number of times (here, 80 times) after the end of the special gaming state in the case of 16R positive variation A to F, 6R positive variation, 2R positive variation A, a normal variation winning device The operation state of 37 is a short time operation state. Further, in the case of the 2R probability variation A, the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 becomes the normal operation state after the end of the special game state.

  The operation mode of the special variation winning device 38 in each round includes long opening and short opening. In the long opening, the opening available time is 29 seconds, and in the short opening, the opening available time is 0.2 seconds. Therefore, as the number of long open rounds increases, the number of winning balls increases. The 16R positive variables A, B, F are long open in any round. Therefore, it is also substantially 16 rounds of big hit (real 16R). These differ in the content of the presentation. In addition, 16R positive variation C becomes long open until the 12th round and short open between the 13th and 16th rounds. Therefore, it can be said that it is substantially a 12 round big hit (real 12 R). In addition, the 16R positive variable D becomes long open until the 8th round, and becomes short open from the 9th to 16th round. Therefore, it can be said that it is substantially eight rounds of big hit (real 8R). In addition, 16R definite variation E becomes long open until 4 rounds, and 5 to 16 rounds become short open. Therefore, it can be said that it is substantially 4 rounds of big hit (real 4R). Also, the 6R positive variation becomes long open in any round, and the 2R positive variations A, B become short open in any round. In the case of a small hit, as in the case of the 2R probability variations A and B, a short opening of 0.2 seconds is performed twice.

  Hereinafter, control of a gaming machine which performs such a game will be described. First, control executed by the gaming microcomputer (gaming microcomputer) 111 of the gaming control apparatus 100 will be described. The control processing by the gaming microcomputer 111 mainly includes the main processing shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and the timer interrupt processing shown in FIG.

[Main processing]
First, the main processing will be described. The main process is started by turning on the power. In this main process, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, after the process of prohibiting the interrupt (step S1) is performed first, the start address of the area for saving the value of the register or the like when the interrupt occurs. A stack pointer setting process (step S2) for setting a certain stack pointer is performed. Next, register bank 0 is designated (step S3), and the upper address of the RAM top address is set in a predetermined register (for example, D register) (step S4). In the case of this embodiment, the range of the address of the RAM is 0000h to 01FFh, and 00h or 01h is taken as the upper order, and the head 00h is set in step S4. Next, a signal for stopping the emission is output to set the emission permission signal to the prohibited state (step S5). The release permission signal is set to a prohibited state when at least one of the game control device 100 and the payout control device 200 outputs a signal to stop the release, and the release of the game ball is prohibited.

  Thereafter, the state of the input port 1 (first input port 122) is read (step S6), and a process of setting a power on delay timer is performed (step S7). In this process, the program of the slave control means (for example, the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300) which performs various controls in accordance with the instruction from the game control device 100 forming the main control means by setting a predetermined initial value. A waiting time (for example, 3 seconds) to wait for normal activation is set. As a result, when the power is turned on, the game control apparatus 100 temporarily rises first, and sends a command to the slave control apparatus before the slave control apparatus (for example, the payout control apparatus 200 or the presentation control apparatus 300) starts up. Can avoid dropping commands. That is, when the power is turned on, the game control apparatus 100 delays the activation of the main control means (game control apparatus 100) and waits for the activation of the slave control apparatus (the payout control apparatus 200, the effect control apparatus 300, etc.) It constitutes a standby means for setting a standby time.

  Further, the power-on delay timer counts time by using a storage area (a RAM area or a register other than the validity determination target) which is not a target of the validity determination (check sum calculation) of the RAM. As a result, when the check data such as the checksum of the RAM area is calculated, it is not necessary to exclude and calculate a part of the RAM area, and it is possible to prevent the control at the time of turning on the power from becoming complicated.

  The initialization switch signal is input to the first input port 122. By reading the state of the first input port 122 before the start of the standby time, the operation of the initialization switch 112 is ensured. It can be detected. That is, when the state of the initialization switch 112 is read after the standby time has elapsed, the initialization switch 112 is operated after waiting for the standby time to elapse, or the initialization switch 112 is operated from the power on to the elapse of the standby time. You need to keep doing that. However, by reading the status before the start of the standby time, it becomes possible to detect by performing the operation immediately after the power is turned on without performing such troublesome operations, and the initialization operation performed at the time of the power on It can prevent the situation that can not be accepted.

  After the process of setting the power on delay timer (step S7), the process of measuring the waiting time and monitoring the occurrence of the power failure during the waiting time (steps S8 to S12) are performed. First, set the number of times (for example, 2 times) to read the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply 400 through the port and data bus and check (step S8), and determine whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. Perform (step S9).

  If the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S9; Y), it is determined whether the on state of the power failure monitoring signal continues for the number of checks set in step S8 (step S10). Then, if the on state of the power failure monitoring signal does not continue for the number of checks (step S10; N), the process returns to the determination (step S9) whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. If the on state of the power failure monitoring signal continues for the number of checks (step S10; Y), that is, if it is determined that a power failure has occurred, the process waits for the power of the gaming machine to be shut off. As described above, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection of a power failure due to noise or the like by determining that a power failure has occurred when the power failure monitoring signal continues to be received for a predetermined period, thereby appropriately coping with a failure at the time of power on. can do.

  That is, the game control device 100 functions as a power failure monitoring means for monitoring the occurrence of a power failure in a predetermined standby time. As a result, it becomes possible to cope with a power failure that has occurred during a period in which the activation of the game control device 100 that forms the main control means is delayed, and it is possible to appropriately cope with a problem at the time of power on. Note that access to the RAM is not permitted until the end of the standby time, and the stored contents at the previous power-off are kept, so backup processing etc. is performed when a power failure occurs here. There is no need. Therefore, even if a power failure occurs during the waiting time, it is not necessary to back up the RAM, and the control load can be reduced.

  On the other hand, if the power failure monitoring signal is not on (step S9; N), that is, if a power failure does not occur, the power on delay timer is updated by -1 (step S11). Is determined (step S12). If the value of the timer is not 0 (step S12; N), that is, if the waiting time has not ended, the process returns to the process of setting the number of checks of the power failure monitoring signal (step S8). If the value of the timer is 0 (step S12; Y), that is, if the waiting time is over, the access permission of read / write RWM (read / write memory) such as RAM or EEPROM is permitted (step S13). And outputs the off data to all output ports (set to a state where there is no output) (step S14).

  Next, a serial port (a port provided in advance in the gaming microcomputer 111 and used for communication with the effect control device 300 and the payout control device 200 in this embodiment) is set (step S15) and read first. From the state of the first input port 122, it is determined whether the initialization switch is turned on (step S16).

  If the initialization switch is off (step S16; N), it is determined whether the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is normal power interruption inspection area check data 1 (for example, 5 Ah) (step S17). If it is (step S17; Y), it is determined whether the value of the power failure inspection region 2 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection region check data 2 (for example, A5h) (step S18). Then, if the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (step S18; Y), the checksum calculation processing of calculating the checksum of the predetermined area in the RWM is performed (step S19), and the calculated checksum and power off It is determined whether the check sums of the two match (step S20). If the checksums match (step S20; Y), the process proceeds to step S21 of FIG. 11 to perform processing in the case of normal recovery from a power failure.

  In addition, when it is determined that the initialization switch is on (step S16; Y), or when it is determined that the check data of the power failure inspection area is not normal data (step S17; N or step S18; N) If it is determined that the checksum is not normal (step S20; N), the process proceeds to step S26 in FIG. 11 to perform initialization processing. That is, the initialization switch is an initialization operation unit that can be operated from the outside, and the game control device 100 initializes the data stored in the RAM based on the operation of the initialization operation unit. I

  In step S21 of FIG. 11, the initial value at the time of power failure recovery is saved in the area to be initialized (step S21). The area to be initialized here is an area relating to a power failure inspection area, a checksum area and an error fraud monitoring. Note that the busy signal status area storing the state of the payout busy signal, which is a signal indicating whether the payout control device 200 can receive a command, is also cleared to indicate that the state of the payout busy signal is not determined. It is in an undetermined state. Similarly, the touch switch signal state monitoring area storing the state of the touch switch signal is also cleared, and the touch switch signal state is set to an undefined state indicating that the state of the touch switch signal is not determined. Thereafter, the area storing the gaming state in the RWM is checked to determine whether the probability state of the special view fluctuation display game is the high probability state (step S22). Here, when it is not in the high probability of the special view (step S22; N), the process skips steps S23 and S24 and shifts to step S25. Further, when the special drawing is in high probability (step S22; Y), the ON information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (step S23), and the high probability notification LED (error display provided in the collective display device 50, for example) Device) on (lit) in the segment area (step S24). And the command at the time of the power failure restoration corresponding to the processing number prepared in order to rationally execute the below-mentioned special figure game processing is transmitted to the production control board (presentation control device 300) (step S25) Go to In the case of the present embodiment, in step S25, a model designation command, a special figure 1 pending number command, a special figure 2 pending number command, a probability information command, a screen designated command (a command for a customer waiting demo screen when waiting for a customer, other than that If so, a plurality of commands such as a recovery screen command are sent. Further, depending on the model, in addition to these commands, the presentation frequency information command and the high probability frequency information command are also transmitted.

  On the other hand, when jumping from step S16, S17, S18, S20 to step S26, the RAM access prohibited area is set to access permission (step S26), and all areas including the busy signal status area and the touch switch signal state monitoring area are The RAM area is cleared to 0 (step S27), and the RAM access prohibited area is set to access prohibited (step S28). Then, the initial value at the time of RAM initialization is saved in the area to be initialized (step S29). Here, the area to be initialized is an area related to setting of the customer waiting demonstration area and the effect mode. Then, a command at the time of RAM initialization is transmitted to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step S30), and the process proceeds to step S31. In the case of this embodiment, in step S30, a model designation command, a special figure 1 pending number command, a special figure 2 pending number command, a probability information command, a RAM initialization command (displaying a customer waiting demo screen and displaying a predetermined time ( For example, for 30 seconds, a plurality of commands such as a command for performing notification of the RAM initialization with light and sound are transmitted. Further, depending on the model, in addition to these commands, the presentation frequency information command and the high probability frequency information command are also transmitted.

  In step S31, processing is performed to activate a CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal and a random number update trigger signal (CTC) in the gaming microcomputer 111 (clock generator). The CTC circuit is provided in a clock generator in the gaming microcomputer 111. The clock generator divides the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113, and a timer interrupt signal of a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 milliseconds) to the CPU 111A based on the divided signal. And a CTC circuit for generating a signal CTC for giving a trigger for updating the random number to be supplied to the random number generation circuit.

  After the CTC activation process of step S31, the random number generation circuit is activated and set (step S32). Specifically, setting of a code (designated value) for activating the random number generation circuit to a predetermined register (CTC update permission register) in the random number generation circuit is performed by the CPU 111A. Further, setting of bit transposition pattern of hard random numbers (here, big hit random numbers) generated by hardware of the random number generation circuit is also performed. The bit transposition pattern is a method of replacing the bit arrangement of the extracted random number (arrangement before bit transposition in the upper row) in a predetermined order and storing it as a different bit arrangement (arrangement after bit transposition in the lower row) Is a pattern that determines By replacing the bits of the random number according to the bit transposition pattern, the regularity of the random number can be broken and the secrecy of the random number can be enhanced. The bit transposition pattern may be a fixed single pattern or may be selected from a plurality of patterns prepared in advance. Also, it may be set arbitrarily by the user.

  Thereafter, the values of predetermined registers (soft random number registers 1 to n) in the random number generation circuit at power-on are extracted, and corresponding various initial value random numbers (in the case of the present embodiment, random numbers for determining symbols per special drawing) (Big hit symbol random number, small hit symbol random number), random number to determine the hit of the common drawing (hit random number), RWM specified as the initial value (start value) of the random number to determine the hit symbol of the common drawing (hit symbol random number) After saving in the area (step S33), the interrupt is permitted (step S34). The random number generation circuit in the CPU 111A used in the present embodiment is configured to change the initial value of the soft random number register every time the power is turned on. Therefore, this value is used as the initial value (start value) of various initial value random numbers. By doing this, it is possible to break the regularity of the random numbers generated by the software, and to make it difficult for the player to obtain an incorrect random number.

  Subsequently, an initial value random number updating process (step S35) is performed to update the values of various initial value random numbers and break the regularity of the random numbers. Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, the small hit symbol random number, the hit random number, the hit symbol random number are generated using the random numbers generated in the random number generation circuit Is configured as. However, the big hit random number is a so-called "high-speed counter" updated based on a clock equal to or faster than the CPU operation clock, and the big hit symbol random number, small hit symbol random number, hit random number, hit symbol random number is a program processing It is a "low-speed counter" updated based on the CTC output (CTC (CTC 2 different from CTC (CTC 0) in timer interrupt processing) having the same cycle as timer interrupt processing as a unit. Also, in the big hit symbol random number, small hit symbol random number, hit random number, hit symbol random number, so-called "initial value changing method of changing the start value using each initial value random number (generated by software) every time the random number makes a round Is adopted. Each of the random numbers may be a counter type update by +1 or -1, or may be a random type update in which all the values within the range appear apart without overlapping until one round. That is, the big hit random number is a random number updated only by hardware, and the big hit symbol random number, the small hit symbol random number, the hit random number, and the hit symbol random number is a random number updated by hardware and software.

  After the initial value random number update process of step S35, the number of times (for example, twice) of reading and checking the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply 400 via the port and data bus is set (step S36) It is determined whether the monitoring signal is on (step S37). If the power failure monitoring signal is not on (step S37; N), the process returns to the initial value random number updating process (step S35). That is, when a power failure has not occurred, the initial value random number update processing and the check (loop processing) of the power failure monitoring signal are repeated. By permitting the interrupt (step S34) before the initial value random number update process (step S35), when the timer interrupt occurs during the initial value random number update process, the interrupt process is preferentially executed, and the timer interrupt is performed. By waiting for the initial value random number updating process, it is possible to avoid the pressure on the interrupt process.

  In addition to the main processing, there is also a method of performing initial value random number update processing in the timer interrupt processing in addition to the main processing, and the initial value random number update processing in step S35 described above In order to prevent the value random number update process from being performed, when performing the initial value random number update process in the main process, it is necessary to prohibit the interrupt and then update and cancel the interrupt. There is no problem in canceling the interrupt before the initial value random number update process if the initial value random number update process in the timer interrupt process is not performed but is performed only in the main process, and the main process It has the advantage of being simplified.

  If the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S37; Y), it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal remains on for the number of checks set in step S36 (step S38). Then, if the on state of the power failure monitoring signal does not continue for the number of checks (step S38; N), the process returns to the determination (step S37) whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. In addition, when the on state of the power failure monitoring signal continues for the number of checks (step S38; Y), that is, when it is determined that a power failure has occurred, the processing for temporarily prohibiting the interrupt (step S39) A process (step S40) of outputting off data to the output port is performed.

  Thereafter, the blackout inspection area check data 1 is saved in the blackout inspection area 1 (step S41), and the blackout inspection area check data 2 is saved in the blackout inspection area 2 (step S42). Furthermore, a checksum calculation process (step S43) for calculating a checksum at the time of power interruption of the RWM, and a process for saving the calculated checksum (step S44), and then a process for prohibiting access to the RWM (step S45) ) And wait for the power to the game machine to shut off. As described above, by saving check data in the power failure inspection area and calculating a checksum at the time of power shutdown, it is determined whether the information stored in the RWM is correctly backed up before the shutdown It can be judged at the time of reinjection.

  From the above, main control means (game control apparatus 100) for controlling the game in an integrated manner, and slave control means (disbursement control apparatus 200, effect control apparatus 300, etc.) for performing various controls in accordance with instructions from the main control means. Standby control means for setting a predetermined standby time for waiting for activation of the slave control device by delaying activation of the main control device when the power is turned on. And 100) and the blackout monitoring means (game control apparatus 100) for monitoring the occurrence of blackout in the predetermined standby time.

  Further, the power supply device 400 for supplying power to various devices is provided, and the power supply device 400 is configured to output a power failure monitoring signal when the occurrence of a power failure is detected, and the power failure monitoring means (game control device 100) When the power failure monitoring signal is continuously received for a predetermined period, it is determined that the power failure has occurred.

  Further, the main control means (game control apparatus 100) is based on the RAM 111C capable of storing data, an initialization operating unit (initialization switch) capable of external operation, and the initialization operating unit An initialization unit (game control apparatus 100) for initializing data stored in the RAM 111C is provided, and the operation state of the initialization unit is read before the start of the standby time.

  Also, the main control means (game control apparatus 100) permits access to the RAM 111C after the standby time has elapsed.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, the timer interrupt process is started by inputting a periodic timer interrupt signal generated by the CTC circuit in the clock generator to the CPU 111A. When a timer interrupt occurs in the gaming microcomputer 111, the interrupt is automatically disabled, and the timer interrupt process of FIG. 12 is started.

  When timer interrupt processing is started, first, register bank 1 is designated (step S101). Switching to the register bank 1 is equivalent to performing a register save process of transferring the value held in a predetermined register (for example, a register used in the main process) to the RWM. Next, the upper address of the RAM top address is set in a predetermined register (for example, D register) (step S102). In step S102, the same process as step S4 in the main process is performed, but the register bank is different. Next, input from various sensors and switches, and taking in of signals, that is, input processing for reading the state of each input port (step S103) is performed. Then, based on the output data set in the various processes, an output process (step S104) is performed to control the drive of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening solenoid 38b, a common power solenoid 37c).

  Note that when a signal for stopping the emission is output in step S5 in the main processing, the output processing causes the emission permission signal to be output, and the emission permission signal can be set to the permission state. The launch permission signal is output to the launch control device via the payout control device. At that time, no signal processing is performed. Further, the release permission signal is a first signal indicating the state of release permission seen from the game control device, and a second signal (release permission signal) indicating the state of release permission viewed from the payout control device is also the payout control. It is generated in the device and output to the launch control device. That is, when two launch permission signals are output to the launch control device and both are permitted to launch, the gaming ball is configured to be in a state where it can be launched.

  Next, a payout command transmission process (step S105) for outputting a command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 200, a random number update process 1 (step S106), and a random number update process 2 (step S107) are performed. After that, monitoring whether or not there is an input of a normal signal from the start opening 1 switch 36a, the start opening 2 switches 37a, 97a, the gate switch 34a of the common drawing, the winning opening switch 35a, the big winning opening switch 38a A winning opening switch / status monitoring process (step S108) is performed to monitor (whether or not the front frame or the glass frame is opened). In addition, special figure game processing (step S109) which performs processing concerning a special figure fluctuation display game and common drawing game processing (step S110) which performs processing concerning a common drawing fluctuation display game is performed.

  Next, segment LED editing processing (step S111) provided in the gaming machine 10 to drive the segment LED for displaying the special view variation display game and displaying various information related to the game to display desired content (step S111) Magnet fraud monitoring process (step S112) that performs processing to check the detection signal from the sensor to determine whether there is an abnormality or board radio fraud that performs processing to check the detection signal from the board radio wave sensor 62 to determine whether there is an abnormality A monitoring process (step S113) is performed. Then, an external information editing process (step S114) is performed to set signals output to various external devices in the output buffer (step S114), and the timer interrupt process is ended.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the process of restoring the interrupt disabled state (that is, the process of permitting the interrupt) and the process of restoring the specification of the register bank (ie, the process of specifying the register bank 0) Automatically at the time (at the end of timer interrupt processing). Note that, depending on the CPU to be used, there are gaming machines that need to be instructed to execute a process of restoring an interrupt disabled state and a process of restoring a register bank specification.

[Special figure game processing]
Next, the details of the special figure game process (step S109) in the above-described timer interrupt process will be described. In the special view game process, the monitoring of the input of the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switches 37a and 97a, the control of the entire processing related to the special view variation display game, and the setting of the display of the special view are performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the special view game process, first, a starting opening switch monitoring process (step A1) is performed to monitor winning of the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switches 37a and 97a. In the starting opening switch monitoring process, when the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 have a game ball prize, various random numbers (such as a big hit random number) are extracted and In the stage before the start of the special figure variation display game based on the game result prior determination which determines in advance the game result based on the winning is performed.

  Next, the special winning opening switch monitoring process (step A2) is performed. In the special winning opening switch monitoring process, processing is performed to monitor the detection of the gaming ball at the special winning opening switch 38a provided in the special variation winning device 38.

  Next, if the special figure game processing timer is not "0", -1 is updated (step A3). In addition, the minimum value of the special figure game processing timer is set to "0". Then, it is determined whether the value of the special figure game processing timer is "0" (step A4). If the value of the special figure game processing timer is "0" (step A4; Y), that is, if the time is up or has already been up, reference is made to branch to the process corresponding to the special figure game process number The special figure game sequence branch table to be set is set in the register (step A5), and the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the special figure game process number is acquired using the table (step A6). Then, a subroutine call is made according to the special figure game process number (step A7).

At step A7, when the special figure game processing number is "0", the variation start of the special figure variation display game is monitored, and the setting of the variation start of the special figure variation display game, the setting of the effect, the special figure variation A special drawing routine processing (step A8) is performed to set information necessary for performing processing.
At step A7, when the special figure game process number is "1", the special figure variation process which performs setting of the stop display time of the special figure, setting of information necessary for performing the special figure display process, etc. (Step A9) is performed.

  If the special figure game processing number is "2" at step A7, if the gaming result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the setting of the fanfare command according to the type of the big hit, the big winning opening of each big hit The special chart display process (step A10) is performed to set the fan fare time according to the release pattern, set the information necessary for performing the fan fare / interval process, and the like.

If the special figure game processing number is "3" at step A7, the setting of the opening time of the special winning opening and the updating of the opening number, the setting of information necessary for performing the special winning opening opening process, etc. A fanfare / interval process (step A11) is performed.
At step A7, when the special figure game processing number is "4", while the big hit round is not the final round, while setting the interval command, the processing of setting the ending command when the final round, the big winning opening remaining A special winning opening open process (step A12) is performed to set information necessary for ball processing.

If the special figure game processing number is "5" in step A7, if the big hit round is the final round, the process for setting the time for the remaining balls in the big winning opening to be discharged, the big hit end processing A special winning opening remaining ball process (step A13) is performed to set information necessary for the execution.
If the special figure game process number is "6" in step A7, a big hit end process (step A14) is performed to set information necessary for performing the special figure routine process.

In step A7, when the special figure game processing number is “7”, to set the opening time and opening pattern of the big winning opening when the small hit occurs, to set the fanfare command, to perform the small hit middle processing A small hit fanfare middle process (step A15) is performed to set necessary information.
At step A7, when the special figure game processing number is "8", the small hitting middle process (step A16) is performed to set the ending command and the information necessary for performing the small hitting residual ball processing, etc. .
At step A7, when the special figure game processing number is "9", a process for setting a time for discharging the remaining ball that has won in the big winning opening during the small hit middle process, a small hit end process The small hit remaining ball processing (step A17) is performed to set the information necessary for performing the above.
At step A7, when the special figure game process number is "10", small hit ending process (step A18) is performed to set information etc. necessary for performing the special figure routine process.

  Thereafter, after preparing a table for controlling the fluctuation of the special view 1 display 51 (step A19), the symbol variation control process (step A20) related to the special view 1 display 51 is performed. And after preparing the table for controlling the fluctuation of the special figure 2 display 52 (step A21), the symbol variation control processing (step A22) concerning the special figure 2 display 52 is performed, and the special figure game processing is ended. Do. On the other hand, if the value of the special figure game processing timer is not "0" at step A4 (step A4; N), that is, if the time is not up, the process proceeds to step A19 and the subsequent processes are performed. Do.

  Note that the small hit is a result mode without the operation of the condition device, and the big hit is a special result with the operation of the condition device. The condition device is operated when a big hit occurs in the special view variation display game (big hit symbol stop display). When the condition device is activated, for example, a big hit occurs and it is special as a special motorized role. It means that a specific flag for operating the fluctuation winning device 38 continuously is set (the character continuous operating device is operated). If the condition device does not operate, it means that the above-mentioned flag is not set as in the case of winning a small hit lottery, for example. The "condition device" may be software means such as a flag turned on / off by software as described above, or hardware means such as a switch turned on / off electrically. In addition, "condition device" is a term generally used in the field of pachinko machines as a device whose operation is required for continuous operation of a motorized accessory, and the same applies in this specification as well. It is used as a term that has a meaning.

[Starting port switch monitoring process]
Next, details of the starting opening switch monitoring process (step A1) in the special view game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, in the starting opening switch monitoring process, first, a first starting opening (first starting winning opening 36), a prize monitoring table is prepared (step A101), and hard random number acquisition processing (step A102) is performed. In this hard random number acquisition process, when there is an input to the target starting port switch (here, the starting port 1 switch 36a), the jackpot random number extracted in the latch register is loaded and prepared, and the target starting port is provided. Set the information to indicate that there was a prize. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a winning on the first starting opening (step A103).

  When it is determined in step A103 that there is no winning on the first starting opening (step A103; N), the process proceeds to step A106, and the subsequent processes are performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step A103 that there is a winning on the first starting opening (step A103; Y), a table for setting information on holding by the first starting opening (first starting winning opening 36) is displayed. After preparation (step A104), the special view starting opening switch common process (step A105) is performed.

  Next, a second starting opening (normal fluctuation winning device 37) is prepared for a prize monitoring table (step A106), and hard random number acquisition processing (step A107) is performed. In this hard random number acquisition process, when there is an input to the target starting port switch (here, the starting port 2 switch 37a), the jackpot random number extracted in the latch register is loaded and prepared, and the target starting port is provided. Set the information to indicate that there was a prize. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a winning on the second starting opening (step A108).

  If it is determined in step A108 that there is no winning on the second starting opening (step A108; N), the process proceeds to step A113, and the subsequent processes are performed. On the other hand, when it is determined in step A108 that there is a winning on the second starting opening (step A108; Y), the normal motorized combination (normal variation winning device 37) is in operation, ie, normal variation If it is determined whether or not the winning device 37 is activated and the gaming ball is in an open state in which winning of the gaming ball is possible (step A109), and it is determined that the ordinary electric role is in operation (step A109; Y), The processing shifts to the processing of A111, and the subsequent processing is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step A109 that the ordinary motor-operated combination is not in operation (step A109; N), it is determined whether a common electric charge is occurring (step A110).

  In the determination as to whether or not the general electric power fraud is occurring, it is determined that the fraud is occurring when the number of fraudulent prizes to the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is equal to or more than the fraud occurrence judgment number (for example 5). In the normal fluctuation winning device 37, the gaming ball can not be won in the closed state, and the gaming ball can be won only in the open state. Therefore, when the gaming ball wins in the closed state, it is a case where some abnormality or injustice occurs, and when there is a gaming ball winning in such a closed state, the number is counted as the number of fraudulent winnings. Then, when the number of incorrect winnings thus counted is equal to or more than a predetermined number (upper limit value), it is determined that the fraud is in progress.

  If it is determined in step A110 that a common electric power fraud is occurring (step A110; Y), the process proceeds to step A113, and the subsequent processes are performed. Also, if it is determined in step A110 that a common electric power fraud is not occurring (step A110; N), after preparing a table for setting information on suspension by the second starting port (normal fluctuation winning device 37) (step A111) The special view starting opening switch common process (step A112) is performed, the process proceeds to step A113, and the subsequent processes are performed.

  Next, a third starting opening (second starting winning opening 97) is prepared for a prize monitoring table (step A113), and hard random number acquisition processing (step A114) is performed. In this hard random number acquisition processing, when the target starting port switch (in this case, the starting port 2 switch 97a) receives an input, the jackpot random number extracted in the latch register is loaded and prepared, and the target starting port Set the information to indicate that there was a prize. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a winning on the third starting opening (the second starting winning opening 97) (step A115).

  If it is determined in step A115 that there is no winning on the third starting opening (step A115; N), the starting opening switch monitoring process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined in step A115 that there is a winning on the third starting opening (step A115; Y), the table for setting the information of suspension by the third starting opening (second starting winning opening 97) is displayed. After preparation (step A116), the special view starting opening switch common processing (step A117) is performed, and the starting opening switch monitoring processing is ended.

[Special figure starting port switch common processing]
Next, the details of the special view starting port switch common processing (steps A105, A112, and A117) in the above-described starting port switch monitoring processing will be described. The special view starting port switch common processing is processing that is commonly performed for each input when there is an input from the starting port 1 switch 36a and the starting port 2 switches 37a and 97a.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the special view starting opening switch common process, first, information on the number of winnings on the starting opening switch to be monitored among the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switches 37a, 97a Load the starting opening signal output count which is the number of outputs to the external management device of 10 (step A131), update the loaded value by +1 (step A132), and determine whether the output count overflows ( Step A133). If the number of outputs does not overflow (step A133; N), the updated value is saved in the start aperture signal output number area of RWM (step A134), and the process proceeds to step A135. On the other hand, when the number of times of output overflows (step A133; Y), the process proceeds to step A135. In the present embodiment, values from “0” to “255” can be stored in the start opening signal output frequency area. When the loaded value is “255”, the value after updating becomes “0” by +1 updating, and it is determined that the number of times of output overflows.

  Next, it is determined whether the number of to-be-updated special views (starting storage) corresponding to the starting opening switch to be monitored among the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switches 37a and 97a is less than the upper limit (step A135) ). If the number of to-be-updated holdings to be updated is not less than the upper limit value (step A135; N), the special drawing starting opening switch common processing ends. In addition, when the number of to-be-updated special figure reservations is less than the upper limit (step A135; Y), the number of to-be-updated special figures (number of specially-designated 1 reservations or specially-designated number 2) is updated +1 Step A136) Save the target starting opening winning flag (Step A137). Subsequently, the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the number of start ports to be monitored and the number of special drawing reservations is calculated (step A138), and the jackpot random number prepared in the hard random number acquisition process of steps A102 and A107 Save in the random number storage area (step A139). Next, the jackpot symbol random numbers of the starting opening switch to be monitored are extracted and prepared (step A140), and saved in the jackpot symbol random number storage area of the RWM (step A141).

Next, the small hitting symbol random number is extracted and prepared (step A142), and saved in the small hitting symbol random number storage area of the RWM (step A143). Furthermore, the variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 are saved in the variation pattern random number storage area of the corresponding RWM (step A144), and the special figure holding information determination process (step A145) is performed.
Then, prepare a decoration special view reserve number command corresponding to the start port switch to be monitored and the special view reserve number (step A146), perform the rendering command setting process (step A147), and execute the special view start aperture switch common process. finish.

  Here, the game control device 100 (RAM 111C) extracts a predetermined random number based on the inflow of gaming balls to the first start winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, and the start winning area of the normal fluctuation winning device 37. The start-up memory means stores a predetermined number at the upper limit as a start-up memory which becomes an execution right of the variable display game. Further, the start storage means (game control device 100) is configured to start various random number values extracted based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning area (the first start winning opening 36) up to a predetermined number as the first start. Store the various random number values stored based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning area (second starting winning opening 97, normal fluctuation winning device 37) as a predetermined number. The upper limit is stored as the second start storage (special view 2 start storage).

[Special map reservation information determination process]
Next, the details of the special view hold information determination process (step A145) in the above-described start port switch common process will be described. The special view reservation information determination process is a prefetch process for determining the result related information corresponding to the start storage prior to the start timing of the special view variation display game based on the corresponding start storage.

  As shown in FIG. 16, first, a big hit determination process (step A151) is performed to determine whether or not a big hit depends on whether the big hit random number value matches the big hit determination value. Then, if the determination result is a big hit (step A152; Y), set a big hit symbol random number check table corresponding to the target starting opening switch (step A153), and correspond to the big hit symbol random number prepared in step A140. The stop symbol information is acquired (step A154), and the process proceeds to step A160.

On the other hand, if the determination result is not a big hit (step A152; N), the small hit determination process (step A155) to determine whether it is a small hit or not by whether the big hit random number value matches the small hit determination value. Do. Then, if the determination result is not a small hit (step A156; N), the stop symbol information of the removal is set (step A159), and the process proceeds to step A160.
On the other hand, if the judgment result is a small hit (step A156; Y), a small hit symbol random number check table is set (step A157), and the stop symbol information corresponding to the small hit symbol random number prepared in step A142 It acquires (step A158), and it transfers to the process of step A160.

  Then, a prefetch stop symbol command corresponding to the target starting opening switch and stop symbol information is prepared (step A160), and effect command setting processing is performed (step A161). Next, special figure information setting processing (step A162) for setting special figure information which is a parameter for setting a variation pattern is performed, and variation pattern setting process for setting a variation aspect of the special figure variation display game is performed (step A163).

  Thereafter, a look-ahead fluctuation pattern command corresponding to the first half fluctuation number indicating the first half fluctuation pattern and the second half fluctuation number indicating the second half fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation pattern of the special view fluctuation display game is prepared (step A164), and rendering command setting processing is performed. (Step A165), the special figure hold information determination process is ended. The special figure information setting process in step A162 and the variation pattern setting process in step A163 are the same as the processes executed at the start of the special figure variation display game in the special figure routine process.

  With the above processing, the prefetch pattern command including the result of the special pattern fluctuation display game based on the start memory of the prefetch target and the prefetch fluctuation pattern command including the information of the fluctuation pattern in the special pattern fluctuation display game based on the start memory are prepared And sent to the effect control device 300. Thereby, the determination result (prefetching result) of the result related information (big hit, small hit or not, and variation pattern type) corresponding to the start memory is the start timing of the special view change display game based on the corresponding start memory It is possible to notify the effect control device 300 earlier, and in particular, by changing the decoration special view start memory display displayed on the display device 41, the player before the start timing of the special view variation display game. As a result, it is possible to notify relevant information.

  That is, the game control device 100 determines a random number stored as a start memory in the start winning memory storage means (game control device 100) before execution of the variable display game based on the start memory (for example, whether a special result is obtained (Determine whether or not etc.) Make an advance decision means. It should be noted that the time when the random number value stored corresponding to the starting memory is determined in advance is not only at the time of the starting winning combination where the starting memory is generated but any time before the variable display game based on the starting memory is played Good.

[Big winning opening switch monitoring processing]
Next, the details of the special winning opening switch monitoring process (step A2) in the special view game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, in the special winning opening switch monitoring process, first, it is determined whether the value of the special figure game processing number is "4", that is, whether the special winning opening is being processed (step A201). . When the special winning opening open process is being performed (step A201; Y), the process proceeds to step A205. If the special winning opening is not being processed (step A201; N), it is determined whether the value of the special drawing game processing number is "5", that is, the special winning opening residual ball processing is in progress (step A202).
If the special winning opening game is being processed (step A202; Y), the process proceeds to step A205. If the special winning opening game is not being processed (step A205; N), it is determined whether the value of the special figure game processing number is "8", that is, the small hit is being processed (step A203) ).
If the small hit is being processed (step A204; Y), the process proceeds to step A205. If the small hit is not being processed (step A203; N), it is determined whether the value of the special process game processing number is "9", that is, the small hit remaining ball processing is being performed (step A204).
Since the special figure game process number does not shift next until the special figure game process timer becomes “0”, it is possible to check the progress of the game by the special figure game process number.

If the small hit residual ball processing is not in progress (step A 204; N), the special winning opening switch monitoring processing is ended. If the small hit residual sphere process is being performed (step A204; Y), the process proceeds to step A205.
Then, "0" is set to the winning counter (step A205), and it is determined whether there is an input to the special winning opening switch 1 (one big winning opening switch 38a) (step A206).

  If there is no input on the special winning opening switch 1 (step A206; N), it is determined whether there is an input on the special winning opening switch 2 (the other special winning opening switch 38a) (step A210). When the special winning opening switch 1 has an input (step A206; Y), a special winning opening count command is prepared (step A207), and effect command setting processing (step A208) is performed. Then, the winning counter is updated by +1 (step A209), and it is determined whether there is an input to the special winning opening switch 2 (the other special winning opening switch 38a) (step A210).

  If there is no input to the special winning opening switch 2 (step A210; N), it is determined whether the value of the winning counter is 0 (step A214). When the special winning opening switch 2 has an input (step A210; Y), a special winning opening count command is prepared (step A211), and effect command setting processing (step A212) is performed. Then, the winning counter is updated by +1 (step A213), and it is determined whether the value of the winning counter is 0 (step A214).

When the value of the winning counter is "0" (step A268), if the value of the winning counter is "0" (step A214; Y), the special winning opening switch monitoring process is ended.
If the value of the winning counter is not "0" (step A214; N), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening remaining ball processing is in progress (step A215).
When the special winning opening residual ball processing is under (step A215; Y), the special winning opening switch monitoring processing is ended, and when the special winning opening residual ball processing is not under (step A215; N), the small hitting residual ball processing It is determined whether it is medium (step A216).
If small ball remaining ball processing is being performed (step A 216; Y), the special winning opening switch monitoring process is ended, and if small ball remaining ball processing is not being performed (step A 216; N), the value of the winning counter (1 or 2) is added to the special winning opening count (step A217), and it is determined whether the special winning opening count has reached the upper limit (the number of game balls that can be won in one round, for example, "9") (step A 218).

  When the special winning opening count is not equal to or more than the upper limit (step A218; N), the special winning opening switch monitoring process is ended. If the special winning opening count is equal to or higher than the upper limit (step A218; Y), the special winning opening count is kept at the upper limit (step A219), and the special view game processing timer area is cleared to 0 Step A220) It is determined whether the small hit is being processed (step A221). If the small hit is not under process (step A221; N), the big winning opening switch monitoring process is finished, and if the small hit is under processing (step A221; Y), the big hit opening control pointer area is small hit. The value of the opening operation end is saved (step A222), and the special winning opening switch monitoring process is ended. As a result, the special winning opening is closed and one round ends.

[Special figure usual processing]
Next, details of the special view routine processing (step A8) in the special view game processing described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, in the special view ordinary processing, first, it is determined whether the number of special view reservations which is the sum of the special view 1 start storage number and the special view 2 start storage number is 0 (step A301) . That is, it is determined whether there is start memory.

If the number of special drawing reservations is not 0 (step A301; N), that is, if there is starting storage, it is determined whether the starting storage to be processed this time is special drawing 1 suspension (special figure 1 starting storage) (step A302).
In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the special figure 1 starting memory and the special figure 2 starting memory are digested in the order of generation, so the starting memory to be processed this time, which is the starting memory for starting the special view variation display game It is determined whether it is the FIG. 1 start storage or the special view 2 start storage, and processing for the corresponding special view variation display game is performed.

  If the starting memory to be processed this time is the special figure 1 hold (special figure 1 start memory) (step A 302; Y), the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (step A 303) is performed to cope with the special figure 1 hold number A decoration special figure reservation number command to be prepared is prepared (step A304), and a rendering command setting process (step A305) is performed. Then, the processing for setting transition to special processing in special drawing 1 (step A306) is performed, and the processing for special drawing is finished.

  On the other hand, when the starting memory to be processed this time is not the special view 1 hold (special view 1 start storage) (step A302; N), that is, the special view 2 hold (special view 2 start storage) A variation start process (step A307) is performed, and an ornament special drawing reserve number command corresponding to the special figure 2 reserve number is prepared (step A308), and an effect command setting process (step A309) is performed. Then, the processing for setting transition to special processing during special drawing of special drawing 2 (step A310) is performed, and the special drawing processing is ended.

Also, if the number of Tokusetsu pending numbers is 0 (step A301; Y), that is, if there is no start memory, it is determined whether the customer waiting demo is started (step A311) and the customer waiting demo is not started In the case (step A311; N), the waiting for customer demonstration flag is set in the waiting for customer demonstration flag area (step A312).
Subsequently, a customer waiting demo command is prepared (step A313), rendering command setting processing (step A314) is performed, special processing routine processing transition setting processing 1 (step A315) is performed, and special processing normal processing is ended. . On the other hand, when the customer waiting demo has been started in step A311 (step A311; Y), the special figure ordinary process shift setting process 1 (step A315) is performed, and the special figure ordinary process is ended.

[Special figure 1 change start processing]
Next, the details of the special view 1 fluctuation start process (step A303) in the special view normal process described above will be described. The special figure 1 fluctuation start process is a process performed at the start of the first special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. 19, first, the special figure 1 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, the special figure 1) is saved in the fluctuation symbol discrimination area (step A331). Processing to set deviation information and jackpot information in the jackpot flag 1 for determining whether the display game is a jackpot or small, and for determining whether or not the first special view fluctuation display game is a small hit A big hit flag 1 setting process (step A332) is performed to set the hit information to the shift information and the small hit information.

  Next, after performing the special figure 1 stop symbol setting process (step A 333) according to the setting of the special figure 1 stop symbol (pattern information), the special figure information which is the parameter for setting the fluctuation pattern is set. An information setting process (step A334) is performed to prepare a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern setting information table which is a table in which information for referring to various information related to the setting of the fluctuation pattern of the first special drawing fluctuation display game is set. (Step A335). Thereafter, fluctuation pattern setting processing (step A 336) for setting the fluctuation pattern which is the fluctuation aspect in the first special view fluctuation display game is performed, and fluctuation start information setting processing for setting information of fluctuation start of the first special drawing fluctuation display game (Step A337) is performed, and the special figure 1 fluctuation start process is ended.

[Special figure 2 fluctuation start processing]
Next, the details of the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (step A302) in the above special figure normal process will be described. The special figure 2 change start process is a process performed at the start of the second special figure change display game, and the process similar to the process in the special figure 1 change start process shown in FIG. It is done as a target.

  As shown in FIG. 20, first, the special figure 2 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, the special figure 2) is saved in the fluctuation symbol discrimination area (step A341). A process for setting shift information and big hit information in the big hit flag 2 for determining whether or not the display game is a big hit, and a small for determining whether or not the second special view fluctuation display game is a small hit A big hit flag 2 setting process (step A 342) is performed to set the hit information to the shift information and the small hit information.

  Next, after performing the special figure 2 stop symbol setting process (step A343) according to the setting of the special figure 2 stop symbol (pattern information), the special figure information which is the parameter for setting the fluctuation pattern is set. An information setting process (step A344) is performed to prepare a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern setting information table which is a table in which information for referring to various information related to setting of the fluctuation pattern of the second special drawing fluctuation display game is set. (Step A345). Thereafter, a fluctuation pattern setting process (step A346) for setting a fluctuation pattern which is a fluctuation aspect in the second special figure fluctuation display game is performed, and a fluctuation start information setting process for setting information on fluctuation start of the second special figure fluctuation display game (Step A347) is performed, and the special figure 2 fluctuation start process is ended.

  Information regarding the start of the special figure variation display game is set by the special figure 1 variation start process and the special figure 2 variation start process.

In addition, if the result of the common drawing variation display game is a hit when the common drawing game processing number is "2" in step B7, the setting of the common charge open time according to whether or not the time saving state is being performed. In addition, the general drawing display processing (step B10) is performed to set the information necessary for performing the common processing per processing.
In addition, if the common drawing game processing number is "3" in step B7, then the common drawing is continued during the common drawing, or the common drawing is performed to set the information necessary for performing the common electric residual ball processing, etc. A process (step B11) is performed.

In step B7, if the common drawing game process number is "4", general electric remaining ball processing (step B12) is performed to set information required for performing the common drawing end processing.
If the drawing game processing number is "5" in step B7, the drawing drawing end processing (step B13) is performed to set the information necessary for performing the drawing common processing.

Then, after preparing the common drawing fluctuation control table for controlling the fluctuation of the normal symbol by the common drawing display (step B14), the symbol fluctuation control process related to the control of the fluctuation of the common symbol by the common drawing display (step B15) ), And end the common drawing game processing.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step B4 that the value of the common-play game processing timer is not "0" (step B4; N), that is, it is determined that the time is not up, the process proceeds to step B14 and the subsequent processes are performed. Do.

[Gate switch monitoring process]
Next, details of the gate switch monitoring process (step B1) in the above-described common game process will be described. As shown in FIG. 33, in the gate switch monitoring process, first, it is determined whether or not there is an input to the gate switch 34a (step B101). Then, when there is an input to the gate switch 34a (step B101; Y), the common drawing reservation number is obtained and it is determined whether the common drawing reservation number is less than the upper limit (for example, "4") (step B102) ).

  If the common drawing reservation number is less than the upper limit (step B102; Y), the common drawing reservation number is updated by 1 (step B103), and the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the updated common drawing reservation number is calculated. (Step B104). The random number is extracted and saved in the RWM hit random number storage area (step B105), and the hit symbol random number is extracted and saved in the RWM hit symbol random number storage area (step B106). Finish.

  If it is determined in step B101 that there is no input to the gate switch 34a (step B101; N) or if it is determined in step B102 that the number of general drawing reservations is not less than the upper limit (step B102; N), End the gate switch monitoring process. That is, the game control apparatus 100 forms a common drawing start storage means capable of storing the right to execute the normal variation display game as the common drawing start storage based on the detection of the gaming ball in the predetermined area.

[Puden prize winning switch monitoring process]
Next, the details of the common prize winning switch monitoring process (step B2) in the above-described common drawing game process will be described. As shown in FIG. 34, in the routine game winning switch monitoring process, first, whether it is in the common game, ie, the common game fluctuation display game is hit and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 is executing the opening operation a predetermined number of times It is determined whether there is any (step B201). Then, if the drawing is in the middle (step B201; Y), it is determined whether there is an input to the start opening 2 switch 37a (step B202) and there is an input to the start opening 2 switch 37a (step B202; Y) If it is determined, the count number of the common charge counter is updated by 1 (step B203).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the count number of the updated common charge counter is the upper limit value (for example, "6") or more (step B204), and it is determined that the count number is the upper limit value or more (step B204; Y) Then, hit the control pointer area in the common drawing and save the operation end value (for example, "4") (step B205), clear the common drawing game processing timer to 0 (step B206), and execute the general electric winning switch monitoring process finish. That is, when there is a routine power prize higher than the upper limit value in the hit state of the common drawing, the hit state of the common drawing is ended halfway at that point.

  If it is determined in step B201 that a per figure drawing is not in progress (step B201; N), if it is determined in step B202 that there is no input to the start opening 2 switch 37a (step B202; N), or in step B204. When it is determined that the common charge count number is not the upper limit value or more (step B204; N), the common match winning switch monitoring process is ended.

[Normal figure normal processing]
Next, the details of the common drawing routine processing (step B8) in the common drawing game processing described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 35, in the ordinary drawing routine processing, first, it is determined whether the ordinary drawing reservation number is “0” (step B301), and the ordinary drawing reservation number is “0” (step B201; Y ) Performs the ordinary drawing normal process transition setting process 1 (step B322), and ends the ordinary drawing normal process. Also, if the common drawing reservation number is not "0" (step B301; N), load random numbers from the RWM hit random number storage area (for the hold number 1) and the hit symbol random number storage area (for the hold number 1) ( Step B302), clear random number storage area (for holding number 1), touch symbol random number storage area (for holding number 1) is cleared to 0 (step B303), and the probability of hit results in a common drawing variation display game is normal It is determined whether it is in the common map high probability raised higher than the probability (that is, the common map low probability), ie, in the short time state (step B304).

If the drawing probability is not in the high probability (step B304; N), the lower limit judgment value (low probability lower judgment value) in the low probability of the drawing is set (step B305). ; Y) sets the lower limit judgment value (high probability lower limit judgment value) at the time of the general drawing high probability (step B306).
Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the value of the per-random number is equal to or greater than the upper limit judgment value (step B307). It is determined whether it is less than the lower limit judgment value set (step B308).

If the value of the per-random number is greater than or equal to the upper limit judgment value (step B307; Y) or if the value of the per-random number is less than the lower limit judgment value set in step B305 or B306 (step B308; Y), the per-flag In the area, save the deviation information (step B309), set the out-of-stop symbol number (step B310), save the out-of-pattern information in the common drawing stop symbol information area (step B311), stop the common symbol number stop Save to the symbol area (step B315).
On the other hand, if the value of the random number per hit is not smaller than the lower limit judgment value set in step B305 or B306 (step B308; N), the hit information is saved in the hit flag area (step B312) and the load loaded in step B302 The hit stop symbol number corresponding to the symbol random number is set (step B313), and the stop symbol information corresponding to the stop symbol number is saved in the common drawing stop symbol information area (step B314), and the stop symbol number is common drawing stop symbol Save to the area (step B315).

  In the case of the present embodiment, the probability of hitting at low probability is 0/251, the probability of hitting at high probability is 250/251, the upper judgment value is “251”, and the low probability judgment value is “251”, the high probability lower limit judgment value is “1”. Therefore, at the time of normal drawing low probability (normal operation state), the value of the hit random number deviates in all cases of “0” to “250”. In addition, at the time of general drawing high probability (time-saving operation state), the case where the value of the random number is any of "1" to "250" will occur, and the case where the value of the random number is "0" will be missed. .

  After the stop symbol number is saved in the common drawing stop symbol area (step B315), the stop symbol number is saved in the test signal output data area (step B316). Thereafter, the common drawing variation time corresponding to the common drawing game mode state is saved in the common drawing game processing timer area (step B317). Here, 700 ms is set as the common drawing fluctuation time when the common drawing low probability, and 500 ms is set as the common drawing fluctuation time when the common drawing high probability. Then, the hit random number storage area is shifted (step B318), the empty area after the shift is cleared to 0 (step B319), and the common drawing reserve number is updated by -1 (step B320). That is, with the common drawing variation display game regarding the oldest common drawing reservation number 1 being executed, the processing of raising the positions of the common drawing reservation numbers 2 to 4 held by the common drawing reservation number 1 or later one by one I do. As a result of this processing, the values for the number of general drawing reservations 2 to from the number of general drawing reservations 4 for the random number storage area per common drawing move from the number 1 for general drawing reservations for the random number storage area to the number 3 for general drawing reservation It will be done. Then, the value for the common drawing reservation number 4 of the random number storage area per common drawing is cleared, and the common drawing reservation number is decremented by one. Then, the general drawing variation processing transition setting process (step B 321) is performed, and the general drawing routine processing is ended.

  As described above, at the time of general drawing high probability (time-saving operation state), the case where the value of the random number per hit is any of “1” to “250” is hit, and the value of the per random number is “0” It becomes a loss. Therefore, in the time-saving operation state, the result of the common view fluctuation display game is almost every hit. If the normal drawing start memory becomes 0 and the hit state does not end in the short time operation state, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 repeats opening and closing, and the player hardly changes the ball holding, and the special drawing fluctuation The display game can be continued without interruption, which is advantageous for the player. However, when the general drawing start memory becomes 0 and the hit state is ended, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is closed until a new common drawing start memory is generated and the common drawing fluctuation display game is hit, and the ball is held As a result, the possibility that the special feature variation display game will not be continuously executed increases, which is a disadvantage for the player.

[Process while displaying a common map]
Next, details of the common drawing display processing (step B10) in the common drawing game processing described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 36, in the processing for displaying the common drawing, first, the hit flag (hit information or removal information) set in the common processing is loaded (step B501), and the hit flag area of RWM is cleared. Then (step B502), it is determined whether the loaded hit flag is hit information (step B503).

If the hit flag is not hit information (step B 503; N), that is, if the result of the common drawing variation display game is out, the common drawing normal processing transition setting processing 1 for moving to the common drawing normal processing (step B 511) To finish the processing during the display of the general drawing.
On the other hand, if the hit flag is hit information (step B 503; Y), that is, if the result of the spread map variation display game is hit (specific result), whether it is under common power support (during a spread probability) Is determined (step B504).

  Then, if the normal power support is in progress (generally high drawing probability) (step B504; Y), the in-progress processing setting table is set (step B505), and the hit start pointer corresponding to the common drawing stop symbol information A value (for example, one of "0", "2", and "4") is obtained and saved in a control pointer area during the drawing (step B506). Next, the general-purpose game open time (for example, 500 ms or 1700 ms) corresponding to the common-drawing stop symbol information is acquired and saved in the common-drawing game processing timer area (step B507). Thereafter, the processing transition setting processing (step B210) is performed per common drawing, and the common drawing display processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is not during general support (in the high probability of general drawing) (step B504; N), the hit start pointer value for normal use (for example, "4" is opened once, so it is set) It saves in the control pointer area (step B508). Next, the normal power open time for normal use (for example, 100 ms regardless of the type of hit symbol) is set, and saved in the normal game processing timer area (step B 509). Thereafter, the processing transition setting processing (step B210) is performed per common drawing, and the common drawing display processing is ended. That is, the game control apparatus 100 constitutes a normal fluctuation winning apparatus control means for generating a hit state in which the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 is converted to the open state based on the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game becoming a specified result.

[Every time per popular map]
Next, the details of the common drawing in the common drawing game process (step B11) will be described. As shown in FIG. 37, in the middle processing per normal drawing, first, the middle control pointer is loaded and prepared (step B601), and the value of the control pointer per common drawing loaded is equal to or more than the upper limit It is determined (step B602).

Then, if the value of the control pointer in the common drawing is not equal to or more than the upper limit (step B602; N), the control pointer in the common drawing is updated by +1 (step B603), and Go and finish the process during the popular map.
If the value of the control pointer during the common drawing is greater than or equal to the upper limit (step B602; Y), then the general processing shift is performed without performing processing of updating the processing control pointer area during the common drawing by +1 in step B603. The setting process (step B604) is performed, and the process is ended during the common drawing.

[Puppet operation transition setting process]
FIG. 38 shows the general-purpose power transition setting process (step B604) in the above-described middle-round process. The routine operation shift setting process is a process for controlling the drive of the routine power solenoid 37c for opening and closing the normal fluctuation winning device 37, and branches the process according to the value of the control pointer (general control pointer). It is like that. In this routine operation transition setting process, first, a branch process is performed according to the value of the control pointer (step B611).

  If the value of the control pointer is “0” or “2”, the process proceeds to step B 612 to control the closing of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37, so after the closing of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 corresponding to the control pointer Saves the off time in the common power solenoid output data area (step B613), and sets the common power operation shift to save the wait time of the general game processing timer area (step B612) and turn off the common power solenoid 37c. End the process.

  If the value of the control pointer is “1” or “3”, the process proceeds to step B 614 to control the opening of the normal fluctuation winning device 37, so that the normal fluctuation winning device 37 corresponding to the control pointer In order to save the general power release time, which is the open time, in the general drawing game processing timer area (step B614) and turn on the general power solenoid 37c, save the on data in the general power solenoid output data area (step B615) Ends the routine operation transition setting process.

  If the value of the control pointer is "4", the process proceeds to step B616 to end the release control of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 and perform the general electric power remaining ball processing, so "4" as the processing number Are set (step B 616). Then, the processing number is saved in the general drawing game processing number area (step B617), and the general electric power remaining ball processing time is saved in the general drawing game processing timer area (step B619). Thereafter, in order to turn off the common solenoid 37c, the off data is saved in the common solenoid output data area (step B619), and the common power operation transition setting process is ended.

  Here, in the present embodiment, for example, a weight time of 200 ms is saved in step B612, 1700 ms is saved in step B614 as the common charge release time, and 600 ms is saved in step B618 as the common charge residual ball processing time. .

  Furthermore, when the common drawing stop symbol is "hit symbol 1" during the common drawing high probability, "4" is acquired as the value of the hit start pointer in step B506 of the common drawing display processing shown in FIG. In step B507 of the process of displaying the common drawing, “500 msec” is acquired as the common charge release time. Therefore, after the lapse of the display time of 600 ms, since the release time of the general power is "500 ms", the normal power (normal fluctuation winning device 37) opens for 500 ms, and then the control pointer is "4" Therefore, the general charge residual ball processing time of 600 ms is set.

  In addition, when the common drawing stop symbol is “hit pattern 2” in the common drawing high probability, “2” is acquired as the value of the hit start pointer in step B506 of the common drawing display processing shown in FIG. In step B507 of the process of displaying the common drawing, “1700 milliseconds” is acquired as the common charge release time. Therefore, after the lapse of the display time of 600 ms, since the release time of the common charge is "1700 ms", the common charge is released for 1700 ms, and then the weight of 200 ms is kept since the control pointer is "2" Since the time is set and then the control pointer is updated to "3" during the normal drawing, the power is released for 1700 ms, and then the control pointer is updated to "4" during the normal drawing, 600 ms of The normal charge residual ball processing time is set.

  In addition, when the common drawing stop symbol is “hit pattern 3” in the common drawing high probability, “0” is acquired as the value of the hit start pointer in step B506 of the common drawing display processing shown in FIG. In step B507 of the process of displaying the common drawing, “1700 milliseconds” is acquired as the common charge release time. Therefore, after the lapse of the display time of 600 ms, since the PV release time is "1700 ms", the PV is released for 1700 ms, and thereafter, since the control pointer is "0", the weight of 200 ms is waited. The time is set, and then the control pointer is updated to "1" during the normal drawing, and the general power is released for 1700 ms, and then 200 ms since the control pointer during the expansion is updated to "2". The wait time is set, and then the control pointer is updated to "3" during the general drawing, and the general power is released for 1700 ms, and then the control pointer is updated to "4" during the general drawing, 600 ms. The normal charge residual ball processing time is set.

  In the meantime, if the symbol stop symbol is any of “per symbol 1”, “per symbol 2”, and “per symbol 3” during the low probability of the general drawing, the step B508 of the processing during the general drawing display shown in FIG. In step B509 of the process of displaying the common drawing, “100 ms” is acquired as the value of the hit start pointer. Therefore, after the lapse of the display time of 600 ms, since the release time of the common charge is "100 ms", the common charge is released for 100 ms, and then, the control pointer during the common drawing is "4". The electric ball remaining ball processing time is set.

[End processing per popular map]
Next, the details of the end-of-round-figure end process (step B13) in the above-mentioned ordinary-figure game processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 39 (a), in the end processing per common drawing, common processing normal processing shift setting processing 2 (step B801) is performed.

[General drawing normal processing transition setting processing 2]
Next, the details of the common drawing routine processing transition setting processing 2 (step B801) in the above-described common drawing end processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 39 (b), in the ordinary drawing normal process transition setting process 2, first, the process number “0” related to the ordinary drawing normal process is set (step B811), and the process number is set to the ordinary drawing game process Save in the number area (step B812).

  After that, save the signal (for example, the signal is turned off during the normal symbol 1) to the test signal output data area (step B 813) and define the fraud monitoring period of the normal fluctuation winning device 37. The flag (during fraud monitoring period flag) is saved in the routine power transmission fraud monitoring period flag area (step B 814), and the routine drawing transition processing setting process 2 is ended.

  Next, an example of the effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 40, at the center of the display area of the display device 41, an ornament special game variation display game display unit 85 for displaying an ornament special game variation display game corresponding to the special image variation display game is provided. Here, the decorative feature variation display game is displayed by variably displaying identification information in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas and then displaying the identification information in a stopped state.

  Further, at the lower part of the display area, there is provided a first hold display unit 83 for performing a first hold display, which is one of the hold display for displaying special views 1 start storage and special views 2 start storage. The first hold display unit 83 displays a first special view 1 hold display unit 83a for displaying a decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage and a decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 2 start storage. There is a first special view 2 hold display unit 83b.

  The decoration start storage display displayed on the first special view 1 suspension display section 83a corresponds to the special view 1 start storage in a one-to-one correspondence, and is displayed side by side in the order of storage. It shows that there is a memory. Further, the decoration start storage display displayed on the first special view 2 suspension display portion 83b corresponds to the special view 2 start storage in a one-to-one correspondence, and is displayed side by side in the storage order. 2 indicates that there is a starting memory.

  The decoration start memory display at the left end in each reserve display unit is the decoration start memory display corresponding to the start memory stored first, and is shifted to the left each time it is digested. In addition, it is possible to give a hold change notice of indicating and notifying the result of the special view fluctuation display game corresponding to each start memory, the prefetching result such as the fluctuation pattern, and the like by the display mode. Here, the display mode in which the third decoration start storage display from the left of the first special view 1 suspension display 83a and the third decoration start storage display from the left in the first special view 2 suspension display 83 are normal display modes (here A display mode (in this case, shaded) different from white) is used, and a pending change notice for notifying and notifying a prefetch result is performed.

  Note that there are a plurality of types of changes in the display mode, and the degree of expectation to be a special result differs depending on the type, for example. In addition, although a change in display color is shown here as a change in display mode, a display of a character or the like or a change in shape may be performed. Further, the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage and the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 2 start storage may be arranged and displayed in order of occurrence by one hold display unit. In this case, the special view 1 start storage and the special view 2 start storage may be displayed so as to be distinguishable.

  A running hold display unit 84 is provided below the display area and to the left of the hold display unit 83. The running display unit 84 displays information related to starting storage corresponding to the currently running special view variation display game. The decoration start storage display at the left end of the first special view 1 reserve display unit 83a or the first special view 2 reserve display unit 83b is transferred to the in-execution reserve display unit 84 at the start of the special figure variation display game. The result, the variation pattern, etc. of the special figure variation display game to be displayed are suggested and notified by the display mode.

  In the upper right portion of the display area, a second hold display unit 86 is provided which performs a second hold display forming one of the special display 1 start storage and the display corresponding to the special view 2 start storage. The second reserve display unit 86 includes a second special view 1 reserve display unit 86a for displaying a special view 1 start storage and a second special view 2 reserve display unit for a special view 2 start storage. There are 86b. In the second hold display unit 86, the numbers of the special view 1 start storage and the special view 2 start storage are displayed by numbers. Here, it is shown that there are four starting memories. Of course, as in the first hold display unit 83, a decoration start storage display corresponding to the start storage may be displayed.

  The first hold display unit 83 and the second hold display unit 86 both perform display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage and the special view 2 start storage. As will be described later, the first hold display unit 83 may be hidden by the operation of the sub display device 49 forming an effect display or an operation device capable of operation, but the second hold display unit 86 may be an effect display or a sub display device It is not hidden by 49 and is always visible.

  FIG. 41 shows an example of the effect of SP3 reach where the result is lost. In this example, as shown in FIG. 41A, two special figure 1 start memories and two special figure 2 start memories are stored. In addition, the second decoration start memory display from the left in the first special view 1 suspension display section 83a is set as a display mode different from the normal display mode, and a suspension change notice indicating a prefetch result is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), from the state in which the identification information is variably displayed in each of the left, middle and right fluctuation display areas, left and right fluctuation display as shown in FIG. 41 (b) The same identification information temporarily stops in the area and reaches the reach state. In the left and right variable display areas, the identification information is displayed in a shaken state to indicate that the temporary stop is performed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 41 (c), reach effect display, which is one of the predetermined specific effects, is started. The reach effect display here is such an effect display that the background display indicated as "CR Tora" which is the model name covers the screen. At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area. Moreover, although the display of the 1st pending display part 83 and the pending display part 84 during execution is made non-display, the display of the 2nd pending display part 86 is continued. Further, the reach state is developed, and as shown in FIG. 41 (d), the SP3 reach effect display which is one of the predetermined specific effects is started. Even during the execution of this SP3 reach effect display, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit 84 during execution is hidden. The display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued.

  As described above, while the specific effect is being performed, the display of the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, and only the display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. By doing this, the display area can be widely used for the effect, the interest of the game can be improved, and the information of starting memory can be always shown. Then, when the special figure 1 start memory is generated as a new start memory during execution of this specific effect, the display of the second special figure 1 hold display portion 86a of the second hold display portion 86 as shown in FIG. 41 (d) Will be updated immediately. Furthermore, when the special figure 2 start memory is generated as a new start memory during execution of the specific effect, the display of the second special figure 2 hold display portion 86b of the second hold display portion 86 is displayed as shown in FIG. It will be updated immediately. Thereby, the player can check the information of the start memory even while the specific effect is being executed, and it is possible to prevent the player from having a problem.

  Then, when the specific effect is finished as shown in FIG. 41 (f), the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area. Further, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84 is resumed. At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 2 reserve display unit 83b is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start store generated during the execution of the specific effect in the first special view 1 reserve display unit 83a. The display is updated so as to display the decoration start memory display corresponding to the special view 2 start memory generated during the execution of the specific effect. In addition, with this update, it is also possible to start a pending change notice that indicates the prefetching results corresponding to these new starting memories, and here, the third decoration starting memory display from the left in the first special view 2 pending display portion 83b. Is a display mode different from the normal display mode, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is made.

  In FIG. 42, a so-called pseudo continuous change is performed in which a temporary change display is started again after temporary stop in a result mode other than the special result mode in the decoration special view change display game in the middle of the special view change display game. An example of the effect that becomes the SP3 reach where the result is lost after the display mode is executed is shown. In this example, two special drawing 1 start memories and two special drawing 2 start memories are stored as shown in FIG. 42 (a), and the second special decoration start from the left in the first special drawing 1 reserve display portion 83a. The stored display is a display mode different from the normal display mode, and a hold change notice indicating the result of prefetching is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 42 (a), when the same identification information is temporarily stopped in the left and right variable display areas to reach the reach state, reach effect which forms one of the predetermined specific effects as shown in FIG. 42 (b) Display starts. At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area. Moreover, although the display of the 1st pending display part 83 and the pending display part 84 during execution is made non-display, the display of the 2nd pending display part 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 42 (c), the pseudo continuous effect display which is one of the predetermined specific effects indicating the pseudo continuous variable display mode is started. Even during execution of this pseudo-series effect display, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit 84 during execution is hidden. The display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued.

  When Special figure 1 start memory is generated as a new start memory during execution of this specific effect, the display of the second Special Figure 1 hold display portion 86a of the second hold display portion 86 is instantaneous as shown in FIG. 42 (c). Updated to Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42 (d), the pseudo continuous effect display is ended, and the decorative special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area. Then, the display of “series” indicating that the middle fluctuation display area is re-fluctuating temporarily stops, and the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas are temporarily stopped.

  Moreover, the display of the 1st pending | holding display part 83 and the pending | holding display part 84 during execution is reopened with completion | finish of a pseudo | simulation group effect display. At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 1 suspension display unit 83a is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage generated during the execution of the specific effect. Also, with this update, it is possible to start a hold change notice that suggests a pre-reading result corresponding to a new start memory, and here, the third decoration start memory display from the left in the first special view 1 hold display 83a is usually This is a display mode different from the display mode of, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is performed.

  Thereafter, the re-variation display is performed as shown in FIG. 42 (e), and the reach state is attained again as shown in FIG. 42 (f). Then, in the same manner as described above, as shown in FIG. 4 (g), reach effect display which is one of the predetermined specific effects is started, and the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area At the same time, the displays of the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display during execution 84 are not displayed, and the display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 42 (h), a pseudo continuous effect display is performed, which is one of the predetermined specific effects indicating that it is a pseudo continuous change display mode, and as shown in FIG. 42 (i) The display is ended, and the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84 is resumed. Then, the display of “series” indicating that the middle fluctuation display area is re-fluctuating temporarily stops, and the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas are temporarily stopped.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42 (j), if the special effect is not performed and the special display 2 start memory is generated while the first hold display unit 83 and the under-execution display unit 84 are displayed, FIG. As shown in (k), the display is immediately updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 2 start storage generated in the first special view 2 suspension display section 83b. In addition, with this updating, it is also possible to start a pending change notice that suggests a prefetching result corresponding to a new starting memory, and here, the decorative starting memory display corresponding to the special view 2 starting memory is different from the normal display mode. It is considered as a display mode, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is made. Also, in the second special view 2 suspension display unit 86b, the display is updated according to the occurrence of the start storage.

  Then, the reach state occurs as shown in FIG. 42 (k), and the reach effect display is started as shown in FIG. 42 (l), and the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is in the upper left portion of the display area. While being displayed small, the displays of the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display during execution 84 are not displayed, and the display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 42 (m), SP3 reach effect display is executed, and as shown in FIG. 42 (n), the result mode is displayed, and the special figure variation display game is ended.

  As described above, in the pseudo connected change display mode, the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed during unit change display, and the first hold display unit 83 is temporarily displayed during unit change display. And the restart display can be executed, and in the restart display, the display can be updated with the occurrence of a new starting memory. Of course, the non-display and restart timings of the first hold display unit 83 are not limited to those shown in FIG. 42 and can be set arbitrarily. For example, it is not displayed during temporary stop, and is displayed during re-change. You may do it.

  In FIG. 41 and FIG. 42, when the first hold display unit 83 is redisplayed, it is possible to start the hold change notice that suggests the prefetching result corresponding to the new start memory generated in the non-displayed state. The display mode (proposed content) may be changed for the pending change notice that has already been started. Of course, the timing at which the display mode (the suggested content) is changed for the pending change notice that has already been started can be arbitrarily set. Further, in FIG. 42, the re-variation display is performed once as the display state of the reach state, but the re-variation display may be performed temporarily stopping without being the display state of the reach state. Furthermore, although the first hold display unit 83 is displayed during the re-variation display in FIG. 42, it is not displayed until the end of the pseudo continuous change display mode or the end of the special-pattern change display game after temporarily stopping. You may

  Next, control executed by the main control microcomputer (CPU) 311 of the effect control device 300 will be described. Control processing by the main control microcomputer 311 mainly includes main processing shown in FIG. 43 and timer interrupt processing (not shown).

[Main processing]
In the main processing, as shown in FIG. 43, processing at the start of the program is first performed. In the process at the start of the program, first, the interrupt is inhibited (step C1), and the CPU is initialized (step C2). Next, the VDP 312 is initialized (step C3), and the interrupt is permitted (step C4). Next, generation of display data is permitted (step C5), a random number seed is set (step C6), and an initial value at power-on is saved in the area to be initialized (step C7).

  After the processing at the start of the program in steps C1 to C7 is performed, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop processing, first, WDT (watchdog timer) is cleared (step C8). Next, effect button input processing (step C9) is performed to create input information from an input signal (rising edge) based on the operation of the effect button 25 or the touch panel 29. Reading of the input from the effect button 25 and the touch panel 29 is performed in the timer interrupt process, and in this effect button input process, when there is an input from the effect button 25 and the touch panel 29, a process of changing the contents of the effect is performed.

  Then, a hall / player setting mode process is performed to receive operations such as setting of changeable ranges such as brightness of LED and liquid crystal and volume, and change of brightness and volume of LED and liquid crystal by the player (step C10). Next, a random number update process (step C11) is performed to update the random number to determine details of the variation pattern of the decorative special figure variation display game, and a received command check process (A) Step C12) is performed.

  Next, a scenario setting process (step C13) and motion control process (step C14) for controlling the progression of the rendering are performed, editing and transmission of the drawing command (step C15) are performed, and the preparation end of the drawing command is set. (Step C16). In these processes, various data are updated according to the contents to be drawn, and the drawing data is finally set in the frame buffer. If drawing data of the screen to be drawn within 1/30 seconds (about 33.3 milliseconds) is prepared, the image can be updated without any problem.

  Then, it is determined whether it is the frame switching timing (step C17). In this embodiment, in order to create a system cycle (one frame 1/30 seconds), it is determined that it is the frame switching timing when the V blank interrupt (1/60 seconds) is entered twice. Note that the frame switching timing can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the image may be updated (frame switching) in 1/60 seconds, or the image may be updated in a timing later than 1/60 seconds (frame Switching) may be performed. If it is determined in step C17 that the frame switching timing is not reached (step C17; N), the processing in step C17 is repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step C17 that it is the frame switching timing (step C17; Y), screen drawing is instructed (step C18).

  Thereafter, sound control processing (step C19) for controlling the output of sound from the speakers (upper speaker 19a and lower speaker 19b), decoration for controlling the LEDs of the panel decoration device 46, the frame decoration device 18, and the information display device 800 The control process (step C20), the movable body control process (step C21) for controlling the motor and the solenoid of the panel effect device 44 are performed, and the process returns to the process of clearing the WDT (step C8).

[Receive command check process]
FIG. 44 shows the reception command check process (step C12) in the main process described above. In this reception command check process, first, the value of the command reception counter which counts how many commands are received during one frame (1/30 seconds) is loaded as the number of command reception (step C31), and the command reception is performed. It is determined whether the number is not 0 (step C32). When it is determined that the command reception number is 0 (step C32; N), the reception command check process is ended. If it is determined that the number of received commands is not 0 (step C32; Y), the content of the command reception counter area is subtracted by the number of received commands (step C33).

  Next, the content of the reception command buffer is copied to the command area (step C34), and the command reading index is updated by 1 in the range of 0 to 31 (step C35). It is determined (step C36). As described above, in this embodiment, without analyzing the command directly in the reception command buffer, the content of the reception command buffer is copied to the command area (RAM area for analysis), and the command analysis work is performed in the command area. It is configured as follows. In this way, it is possible to move a command (data) to make a vacancy in preparation for a case where a command is transmitted from the game control device 100 during analysis of the command. In addition, analysis of commands can be performed collectively in one round of main processing.

  If it is determined in step C36 that copying of the commands for the number of received commands has not been completed (step C36; N), the process returns to step C34. If it is determined that copying of the command for the number of received commands has been completed (step C36; Y), the contents of the command area are loaded (step C37), and a received command analysis process (step C38) is performed.

  Next, the address of the command area is updated (step C39), and it is determined whether the analysis of the command for the number of received commands is completed (step C40). Then, if it is determined that the analysis of the commands for the number of received commands has not been completed (step C40; N), the process returns to the process of step C37. If it is determined that the analysis of the commands for the number of received commands has been completed (step C40; Y), the received command check process is ended. As described above, in the reception command check process, commands received during one frame (1/30 seconds) are collectively analyzed. In this embodiment, up to 32 commands can be stored.

[Receive command analysis process]
FIG. 45 shows the received command analysis process (step C38) in the received command check process described above. In this received command analysis process, first, the upper byte of the command is separated as MODE and the lower byte is separated as ACT (ACTION) (step C51), and it is determined whether MODE and ACT are within the normal range (step C52). If it is determined that MODE and ACT are in the normal range (step C52; Y), it is determined whether ACT for MODE is a correct combination (step C53).

  If it is determined in step C52 that MODE and ACT are not within the normal range (step C52; N), or if it is determined in step C53 that ACT for MODE is not a correct combination (step C53; N), reception is performed Terminates command analysis processing.

  If it is determined in step C53 that ACT for MODE is a correct combination (step C53; Y), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of one-shot commands such as pending number command and error command (step C54). A single-shot command is a command that is established independently, unlike a command that makes sense in combination, such as a symbol command and a variable command. The one-shot commands include a wait for customer demonstration command, a hold number command, a symbol stop command, a probability information command, an error / illegal command, a model specification command, and the like. Then, if it is determined that MODE is within the range of single-shot commands (step C54; Y), single-shot command processing (step C55) is performed, and the received command analysis process is ended.

  If it is determined in step C54 that MODE is not within the range of single-shot commands (step C54; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of symbol commands (step C56). The symbol system command is a command for instructing information on the symbol of the special drawing (for example, what to make the stop symbol of the special drawing, etc.). When it is determined that MODE is in the range of the symbol system command (step C56; Y), symbol system command processing (step C57) is performed, and the reception command analysis process is ended.

  If it is determined in step C56 that MODE is not within the range of symbol system commands (step C56; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of variation system commands (step C58). The variation system command is a command for instructing a variation pattern of the special figure. Then, if it is determined that MODE is in the range of the variation system command (step C58; Y), variation system command processing (step C59) is performed, and the reception command analysis process is ended.

  If it is determined in step C58 that MODE is not within the range of the variable system command (step C58; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of the big hit system command (step C60). The jackpot command is a command for instructing an operation (such as display of a fanfare screen or a round screen) related to a jackpot middle effect. Then, when it is determined that MODE is in the range of the big hit system command (step C60; Y), the big hit system command processing (step C61) is performed, and the received command analysis process is ended.

  If it is determined in step C60 that MODE is not within the range of the big hit system command (step C60; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of the prefetch symbol system command (step C62). Then, if it is determined that MODE is the range of the pre-reading symbol system command (step C62; Y), pre-reading symbol system command processing (step C62) is performed, and the reception command analysis process is ended.

  If it is determined in step C62 that MODE is not within the range of the pre-reading symbol system command (step C62; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of the pre-reading variation system command (step C64). If it is determined that MODE is within the range of the prefetch change command (step C64; Y), the read change command process (step C65) is performed, and the received command analysis process is ended.

  The pre-reading system commands (pre-reading fluctuation system command and pre-reading symbol system command) are the commands which inform the fluctuation pattern and the stop design which correspond to starting memory beforehand, are transmitted to the production control device 300 from game control control 100 at the time of starting winning a prize Ru. In addition, the normal variation system command and symbol system command which are not pre-read are transmitted from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 300 at the time of the variation display start. Based on the pre-reading system command, setting of pre-reading advance notice effect (also referred to as pre-reading notice or pre-reading effect) is performed. The preview advance notice effect is whether or not the special pattern fluctuation display game becomes a big hit when it is subsequently executed (or what fluctuation pattern will be) corresponding to the start memory (pending) that has not been executed. , A player is notified in advance with a predetermined reliability level, a hold change notice for changing the decoration start memory display, a notice effect including sound, LED emission, effect display, etc., a plurality of special view variation display games Continuous effects etc. are included.

  If it is determined in step C64 that MODE is not within the range of the prefetch change command (step C64; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of the test mode command (step C66). The test mode related command is a command for instructing an operation in the test mode (including a command for instructing transition to the test mode). The test mode has nothing to do with games in the market, but whether various devices (display device, voice, LED, motor, solenoid, etc. controlled by the production control device) operate normally before the game machine is shipped etc. This is one of the modes of the effect control device that allows the user to check and is a mode different from the normal gaming state.

  When it is determined that MODE is in the range of the test mode command (step C66; Y), test mode command processing (step C67) is performed, and the received command analysis processing is ended. If it is determined in step C66 that MODE is not within the range of the test mode command (step C66; N), the received command analysis process is ended.

[Design system command processing]
FIG. 46 shows symbol system command processing (step C57) in the above-mentioned reception command analysis processing. In this symbol system command processing, first, the special figure type (either special figure 1 or special figure 2) corresponding to MODE is set (step C71), and the symbol type corresponding to the combination of MODE and ACT is set. Save (step C72), and complete the symbol system command processing.

  The symbol types are categories of symbols such as a detached symbol, a 16R positive variation A to F symbol, a 6R positive variation symbol, a 2R positive variation A and B symbols, and a small hit symbol, and are associated with data of ACT. Since the symbol ratio changes in the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 (the probability change ratio is the same), this symbol type setting table is provided separately for each MODE, and it corresponds to the data of MODE from plural symbol type setting tables Is selected and the symbol type corresponding to ACT is set with reference to the table.

[Variable system command processing]
FIG. 47 shows variable system command processing (step C59) in the above-mentioned reception command analysis processing. In this variable system command processing, first, it is determined whether the special view type is undetermined (step C81). The special drawing type is information indicating whether the special drawing type is special drawing 1 or special drawing 2, and is information set in step C71 of the above-described symbol system command processing.

  If the special view type is undetermined (step C81; Y), the variable system command processing is ended. If the special figure type is not yet determined (step C81; N), that is, if the special figure type is set, the combination of the variation command and the symbol command is checked (step C82), and the variation command and the symbol type It is determined whether there is a mismatch (step C83).

  If the variation command and the symbol type do not match (step C83; Y), the variation system command processing ends. If the variation command and the symbol type are not inconsistent (step C83; N), the variation pattern type is determined from the variation command (step C84). The symbol type means a category of symbols, and the symbol types include, for example, an off symbol, a 16R positive variation AF symbol, a 6R positive variation symbol, a 2R positive variation A, B symbol, a small hit symbol and the like. When the variation command and the symbol type are inconsistent, the effect is performed as if the symbol command of the 16R positive variation A symbol was received although the variation command of the loss (variation pattern command) was received. It means that it is the combination (combination of the change command and the symbol type) which contradicts with.

  In the process of determining the variation pattern type from the variation command (step C84), the variation pattern type which is a rough classification of the variation display effect of the special view is determined according to the received command. Then, the fluctuation effect setting process is performed to set information for performing the effect according to the fluctuation command (step C85).

  Next, the special figure fluctuation is set as the P machine state (the state of the pachinko machine) (step C86). Here, “during special figure fluctuation” indicates that the special figure is fluctuating (during a customer demonstration or during a big hit, or not being a fanfare medium grade). Further, if the pre-reading effect frequency (pre-reading execution frequency) is not zero, the pre-reading effect frequency is updated by 1 (processing to reduce the pre-reading effect frequency by 1) (step C87), and the variation system command processing is ended.

[Change production setting process]
FIG. 48 and FIG. 49 show the fluctuation effect setting process (step C85) in the above-mentioned fluctuation system command process. In this variation production setting process, first, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern type is a no-reach variation (step C91). If the fluctuation pattern type is no reach fluctuation (step C91; Y), set the model code and special drawing type set at that time and the first half notice distribution group address table corresponding to the effect mode at that time (Step C92). In addition, since it is a reach no change, symbol classification is always a lost pattern, and it is not necessary to refer to symbol classification here especially. The effect mode corresponds to a game mode managed by the effect control device 300 (in the present embodiment, a command for the game mode is also sent from the game control device 100), which naturally differs depending on the model, but here the normal mode, There are a definite change mode, a short time mode and a latent mode. Furthermore, in each mode, a plurality of modes are provided in which the distribution rate of the notice effect and the effect mode of the decoration special view variable display game on the display device 41 are made different.

  Next, the address of the first half notice distribution group table corresponding to the number of holdings of MODE, special view type is acquired with reference to the first half notice distribution group address table (step C93). Thus, in the case of no reach fluctuation, it is possible to change the lottery contents of the notice effect (specifically, the appearance rate of each notice effect mode) appearing during each change according to the number of reservations. After that, the first half of the previous day sorting group table is used to draw a lottery for the first half appearing in the first half (step C96).

  On the other hand, if the change pattern type is not reach no change (step C91; N), the model code set at that time, the special figure type, the effect mode, and the first half notice distribution group address table corresponding to the symbol type are set. (Step C94). Then, referring to the first half advance distribution group address table, the address of the first half advance distribution group table corresponding to the MODE and fluctuation pattern type is acquired (step C95), and the first half change is in progress using the first half advance distribution group table The lottery for the advance notice to appear is made (step C96).

  Next, in step C97 to step C99, the notice effect of the second half fluctuation is drawn. In addition, with the second half change of the special figure fluctuation indicatory game fluctuation indication with the so-called reach action (for example, the special result feature (combination of the special design) where the display territory excluding the specific territory becomes large hitting among the display territory of the special figure) Is stopped, and it is a variable display of the state which is fluctuating display only in a specific field. On the other hand, the first half fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation display game is the fluctuation display before the start of the reach action. In the case of the pseudo continuous change display mode as shown in FIG. 42, as shown in FIG. 42 (k), it is the first half change until the pseudo continuous ends and reaches the reach state, and FIG. Is the second half fluctuation.

  First, the second half notice distribution group address table corresponding to the model code, the special drawing type, the effect mode and the symbol type set at that time is set (step C97). The second half prior distribution group address table is a table for selecting the address of the second half previous distribution group table. Then, the address of the second half of the previous day sorting group table corresponding to the ACT is acquired by referring to the second half of day prior sorting distribution group address table (step C98), and the second half is fluctuating (reaching) using the second half day of sorting distribution group table A lottery for appearing notices is made (step C99).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 49, a basic BGM number (song number of the basic BGM) and a decoration number (a number indicating the type of effect by a decoration lamp or the like) corresponding to the effect mode are set (step C100). Since the BGM and the decoration during normal change differ depending on the rendering mode, the default in each rendering mode is set first. When special BGM or decoration is performed by a notice etc., it changes in the scenario table which manages the flow of presentation.

  Next, advance notice distribution is performed according to the first-half fluctuation type selected at step C96. Here, only a part of the advance notice distribution in the case where the first half variation type as shown in FIG. 42 is a pseudo continuous variation is shown. The first half variation type is a variation notification type which is distributed at the side of the effect control device in the same MODE (for example, pseudo continuous variation). Moreover, as shown in FIG. 42, the pseudo continuous change is a re-change in which the temporary display is started again after temporarily stopping in a result mode other than the special result mode in the decorative special game change display game in the middle of the special figure change display game. This is a so-called pseudo continuous variation display mode in which display is performed once or more. The pseudo continuous change display mode includes ones having different numbers of times of performing the re-change display. For example, as shown in FIG. 42, the pseudo run 3 run included in the pseudo run change display mode is such that the rerun display is performed twice. That is, it is an effect that makes it appear that three special figure variation display games have been performed in a pseudo manner by the two temporary stops and the display of the final result mode.

  In the determination (step C101) whether the first half fluctuation type is a pseudo ream, if it is not a pseudo ream (step C101; N), the notice distribution is performed for other first half fluctuation types omitted here, and the process proceeds to step C103. Do. If it is a pseudo run (step C101; Y), a pseudo run effect setting process is performed to set an effect related to the pseudo run change display mode (step C102), and the process proceeds to step C103.

  In step C103, it is determined whether the special figure type is a special figure 2 fluctuation. When the special figure 2 fluctuation (step C103; Y), the special figure 2 reservation scenario table information corresponding to the special figure 2 reservation number is set (step C104). Thereby, an animation scenario is set in which the decoration start memory display corresponding to the special view 2 start memory is reduced. Next, the fourth symbol (special figure 2 fluctuation) scenario table information is set (step C105). The fourth symbol is a symbol for displaying the decorative special symbol variation display game separately from the decorative special symbol variation display game by the first to third symbols in the display device 41, and this processing allows the ornament special feature with the fourth symbol to be displayed. Information on the variation of the figure variation display game is set.

  If the special figure 2 does not change in step C103 (step C103; N), the special figure 1 suspension scenario table information corresponding to the special figure 1 reservation number is set (step C106), and special figure 1 start storage is supported. Set the animation scenario where the decoration start memory display decreases. Next, the fourth symbol (special figure 1 variation) scenario table information is set (step C107), and information on the variation of the decorative special figure variation display game by the fourth symbol is set.

  After that, setting processing of the effect according to the second half fluctuation pattern is performed. Although only a part of the latter half fluctuation patterns is shown here, setting processing of effects for other latter half fluctuation patterns is also performed. First, it is determined whether the data of ACT (data of the second half fluctuation pattern) is deviated from SP3 (step C108). The SP3 deviation is a variation pattern in which the special 3 reach is executed as shown in FIG. 41 and FIG. If the data of ACT is SP3 deviation (step C108; Y), SP3 deviation setting processing is performed to set an effect of SP3 reach where the result is out of step (step C109), and the variation effect setting processing is ended. In addition, when the data of ACT does not deviate from SP3 (Step C108; N), it is determined whether the data of ACT is per SP3 (Step C110).

  Per SP3 is a variation pattern in which a special 3 reach is executed in which the result is a big hit or a small hit. Then, when the data of ACT is per SP3 (step C110; Y), setting processing per SP3 is performed (step C111), and the variation effect setting processing is ended. If the data of ACT is not per SP3 (step C110; N), processing is performed for another variation pattern omitted here, and the variation effect setting process is ended.

  A process of setting a preview effect of the first half variation such as the above-mentioned simulated series effect setting process (step C102), a process of setting an ornament special pattern suspension display of steps C104 to 107 and a fourth pattern effect, an SP3 shift setting process In the processing for setting the rendering according to the second half fluctuation pattern such as the setting processing per step (step C109) or SP3 (step S111), the rendering control apparatus 300 controls by performing processing for setting scenario control data for rendering. It is designed to set up rendering operations in various devices.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 50A, storage areas for scenario management called “scenario management registration address area” and “scenario management area” are provided in the RAM of the effect control device 300, In the process of setting scenario control data for presentation, necessary data is set in these storage areas. Among these, the scenario management area includes a scenario timer area for storing the value of the scenario timer, a PB timer area for storing the value of the PB timer (push button timer), and a PB detection flag (push button detection flag). And a scenario data table area for storing the address of the scenario data table.

  Further, a scenario management area of the same structure exists for the scenario layer corresponding to each scenario layer, and there are eight scenario layers here, so there are also eight scenario management areas (scenario management areas 0 to 7). The scenario management registration address area is an area for storing the start address of the scenario management area for each scenario layer. In this example, there are eight scenario layers, so the corresponding eight start addresses (scenario layer) It consists of eight areas for storing the address for 0 to the address for scenario layer 7). And, of these eight scenario layers, basically, scenario layer 0 is for background, scenario layer 1 is for presentation 1, scenario layer 2 is for left symbol, and scenario layer 3 is right symbol. The scenario layer 4 is for middle symbol, the scenario layer 5 is for retention, the scenario layer 6 is for effect 2, and the scenario layer 7 is for the fourth symbol.

  However, it is not limited to this aspect. For example, although eight scenario layers are provided in the present embodiment, the number of scenario layers is not limited to this. In particular, the layers used for the background, advance notice, and other effects are increased or decreased according to the model specification, and in the present embodiment, the number is limited to as few as possible. Further, the control target of each scenario layer is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and various allocations can be made.

  In the process of setting scenario control data for presentation, by setting necessary data in these storage areas, an address of a scenario table in which a series of presentation contents for each scenario layer is specified is designated, and this scenario table The production will proceed according to. The scenario management registration address area is provided for each scenario layer as described above, and if there is one to be controlled, the scenario management registration address area X (X = 0 to 7) corresponding to the scenario management registration address area. When the address of the management area is stored and there is nothing to control, the corresponding scenario management registration address area X is set to NULL. For example, since the display of holding is not performed during the movie waiting for the customer, an address (the address of the scenario management area 0) is set in the background area (the scenario management registration address area corresponding to the scenario management area 0). However, NULL is set in the pending area (the scenario management registration address area corresponding to the scenario management area 5).

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 50 (b), the RAM of the effect control device 300 is configured to be provided with storage areas for motion management such as "motion management registration address area" and "motion management area". ing. These areas are areas for registering the motion (a series of movements of the character, etc.) specified in the scenario table when executing the effect according to the scenario table, and the registered motion is executed as an effect.

  Among them, the motion management area is the number (maximum number) of objects to be display-controlled (not necessarily displayed on the screen) Display number (for example, in the case of left symbol, next symbol, current symbol, previous symbol) (The number of display areas) and the frame number storage area (frame number area) indicating how many frames the process has progressed, and how many lines in the motion table the process has progressed to Area for storing the command position indicating the (the area of the command position) and the area for storing the data (corresponding to the motion index) of the address indicating which table is used among the plurality of motion list tables (motion list) This is a structure including a table area) and display information areas for the number of displays.

  Also, a motion management area of the same structure corresponds to a layer of motion (in this example, from motion 0 to 13 in this example), and there are 14 layers of motion here, so this motion management There are also 14 areas (motion management areas 0 to 13). Furthermore, there are 14 motion management registration address areas (address for motion layer 0 to address for motion layer 13) corresponding to the motion management area.

  That is, a plurality of motions can be controlled independently in one scenario, and a plurality of characters can be controlled in one motion. For example, in a normal symbol variation scenario, there are motion of the left symbol, motion of the middle symbol, motion of the right symbol, and motion of the fourth symbol, which are independently controlled. Furthermore, for example, for the left symbol, three symbols of a next symbol, an actual symbol and a front symbol can be displayed on one screen, so that the motion of the left symbol includes information corresponding to the three symbols.

  Then, according to the contents of the scenario table, the motion table address which is the control content is saved in the motion management area corresponding to the layer number of the motion to be controlled (hereinafter referred to as corresponding motion management area). Be done. In the present application, a layer number of motion (0 to 13 in this example) is simply expressed as a motion number, or used as a motion management area X (X is a number corresponding to the motion number). There is a case.

  Also, there are a plurality of display information areas in the motion management area for the number of displays (the number of objects), and each display information area has display type, effect type, effect parameter, x coordinate of display upper left point, display upper left point Y coordinate of the display upper right point, y coordinate of the display upper right point, x coordinate of the display lower left point, y coordinate of the display lower left point, image index, background color, foreground color, video only with IPicture (I picture) It includes an area for storing time frame count data and behavior index data.

  Here, the display type is the type of the object (in addition to information indicating whether it is a still image or a moving image (movie), it also includes information indicating the type of a movie (such as I picture or not)). The effect type is information indicating the type of an effect (processing such as transparency) applied to an image. The effect parameter is a parameter of the effect (transparency in the case of providing transparency, etc.). The x coordinate and the y coordinate are data for specifying the display position of the image, and here, for the polygon display function (a function to display a solid as a polyhedron), three points of display upper left point, display upper right point and display lower left point There are coordinates of. The image index is a number specifying a still image or a movie. The frame count at the time of moving picture only with IPicture is data indicating which frame of data is an IPicture (that is, I frame). The behavior index is an index for behavior (pattern replacement). The behavior (symbol replacement) is to replace only the character (still image or moving image) at the same size and the same display position, and is different from cut-in character replacement or the like. In the cut-in character replacement, the size and the display position at which the character is displayed may also change due to the replacement.

  The effects controlled by the effect control device 300 are, first, processing to set simulated special effect setting processing (step C102), decoration special display suspension display of steps C104 to C107 and the effect of the fourth symbol, and SP3 deviation setting processing (step A scenario table for each scenario layer is set by processing for setting scenario control data for presentation such as setting processing (step S111) per C109) or SP3. Then, effects are registered according to the scenario table by performing registration, change, and deletion of motion according to the scenario table.

  Thus, for example, the non-display or redisplay of the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the under-execution hold unit 84 as shown in FIG. 41 and FIG. This is realized by deleting or registering the display of the display unit 84. Further, continuing the display of the second hold display unit 86 is realized by causing the display of the second hold display unit 86 to be displayed (on the front side) prior to the background and other displays. Ru. Of course, with regard to the non-display or re-display of the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84, it is set whether or not to be displayed (on the front side) prior to the background or other display. It may be realized by

[Single-shot command processing]
FIG. 51 shows the one-shot system command processing (step C55) in the above-mentioned reception command analysis processing. In this one-shot system command processing, first, it is determined whether MODE is a customer waiting demo (step C121).

  When MODE is determined to be a waiting for customer demonstration (step C121; Y), it is determined whether the machine status is set during waiting for customer demonstration (step C122), and is already set during waiting for customer demonstration In the case (step C122; Y), the one-shot command processing ends. If the customer waiting demo is not set (step C122; N), a customer waiting scenario data setting process is performed to set an effect in the customer waiting state (step C123). Further, the customer waiting A is set as the P machine state (step C124), and the one-shot command processing ends.

  If it is determined in step C121 that MODE is not a waiting for customer demo (step C121; N), MODE is within the range of the special view 1 suspension system, that is, the received command corresponds to special view 1 start storage It is determined whether it is the figure holding number command (step C125). When it is determined that MODE is within the range of the special view 1 suspension system (step C125; Y), the special view 1 suspension information setting process (step C126) is performed to store information on the suspension of the special view 1 and the like. End one-shot command processing. If it is determined that MODE is not within the range of the special view 1 suspension system (step C125; N), MODE is within the range of the special view 2 suspension system, that is, the received command corresponds to the special view 2 start storage. It is determined whether it is the decoration special figure reservation number command (step C127).

  When the MODE is determined to be in the range of the special view 2 suspension system (step C127; Y), the special view 2 suspension information setting process (step C128) is performed to store information on the suspension of the special view 2 and the like. End one-shot command processing. If it is determined that MODE is not within the range of the special figure 2 suspension system (step C127; N), it is determined whether MODE is within the range of the symbol stop system (step C129).

  When it is determined that MODE is the range of symbol stop system (step C129; Y), the symbol stop scenario data setting process is performed to set the effect when stopping the symbol (step C130), and the machine status is normally P machine status Are set (step C131), and the one-shot system command processing ends. In addition, when it is determined that MODE is not within the range of symbol stop system (Step C129; N), RAM initialization, power failure recovery, error / incorrect, effect mode, probability information, etc. I do.

[Special figure 1 reservation information setting process]
FIG. 52 shows the special view 1 suspension information setting process (step C126) in the above-described one-shot system command process. In the special figure 1 holding information setting process, first, the special figure 1 holding number is loaded and set as the previous holding number (step C141), and the special figure 1 holding number is set with the value of the command to be the new holding number (step C142). ), It is determined whether the number of new holdings matches the number of previous holdings (step C143).

  If the new holding number and the previous holding number match (step C143; Y), the special view 1 holding information setting process ends. If the new holding number and the previous holding number do not match (step C143; N), it is determined whether a specific effect is being executed (step C144). The specific effect is an effect in which at least the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed as described in FIG. 41 and FIG.

  If the specific effect is not being executed (step C144; N), the process proceeds to step C146. If the specific effect is being executed (step C144; Y), the non-displaying information is set (step C145), and the index of the motion control table for suspension corresponding to the new number of reservations is calculated and saved (step C145) Step C146). Then, the scenario layer number 5 is prepared (step C147), the address of the special view 1 suspension scenario data table (X reservations) is prepared (step C148), and scenario data setting processing is performed (step C149).

  Thereby, updating of the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the second hold display unit 86 is set. Since the second hold display unit 86 is always displayed, a scenario for updating the display immediately is set. In addition, with regard to the first hold display unit 83, the timing for updating the display is made different depending on the presence or absence of non-displayed information, and when displayed, a scenario for updating the display immediately is set and not displayed. If it is medium, set the scenario to be updated when the display is resumed. The timing at which the display is resumed can be obtained by acquiring the time from the progress of the scenario of the effect currently being executed to the end of the specific effect. By setting such a scenario, the display of the first hold display unit 83 is updated when the display is resumed on the first hold display unit 83 as shown in FIG. 41 (f) or FIG. 42 (d). Is possible.

  Thereafter, the non-displaying information is cleared (step C150), and it is determined whether the number of reservations has increased (step C151). When the number of reservations is increased (step C151; Y), the display pattern of the normally on hold is set in the color information area corresponding to the new number of reservations (step C152). The color information area is an area for storing information on the display mode of the decoration start memory display indicating the pre-read result, and here, a normal display mode is set as a display mode of the decoration start memory display corresponding to the newly generated start memory. Do. In addition, the change of the display mode of the decoration starting memory display based on the pre-reading result about the starting memory concerned is performed by the read-ahead change system command processing later.

  Then, it is determined whether the state of P machine is big hit (during special game state) (step C153). If the state of P machine is big hit (step C153; Y), the special information 1 hold information setting process ends Do. If the state of machine P is not a big hit (step C153; N), the output request of the starting opening winning sound is made (step C154), and the special view 1 hold information setting process is ended. On the other hand, when the number of reservations is not increased (step C151; N), that is, when it is decreased, the special figure 1 prefetch information area is shifted (step C155) and the color information area is shifted (step C156). FIG. 1 The hold information setting process ends.

  In the special figure 2 reserve information setting process (step C128) in the one-shot system command process, the same process as the special figure 1 reserve information setting process described above is performed for the special figure 2 start storage. Information corresponding to the generated hold is displayed on the first hold display unit 83 or the second hold display unit 86 at a predetermined timing by the special drawing 1 holding information setting process and the special drawing 2 holding information setting process described above. That is, the effect control device 300 is a start storage display means capable of displaying on the display device 41 a hold display indicating information on the start storage stored in the start storage means.

[Ahead reading symbol system command processing]
FIG. 53 shows prefetch symbol system command processing (step C63) in the reception command analysis processing described above. In this prefetch symbol system command processing, first, the received prefetch stop symbol command is saved in the prefetch symbol command area corresponding to the total number of reservations (step C301), and the prefetch variation pattern command reception waiting flag is set (step C302) , Pre-reading symbol system command processing ends. By setting the prefetch fluctuation command reception waiting flag, it becomes possible to process information of the prefetch fluctuation pattern command for the same start storage as a set (pair) by prefetch fluctuation system command processing described later.

[Read-ahead change system command processing]
FIG. 54 shows prefetch change system command processing (step C65) in the above-mentioned reception command analysis processing. In this pre-reading variation system command processing, first, it is determined whether or not the pre-reading variation pattern command reception is waiting (step C311). Here, when there is a prefetch variation pattern command reception waiting flag set in the above-described prefetch symbol system command processing, it is determined that the reception is waiting. If it is not waiting to receive the prefetch variation pattern command (step C311; N), the prefetch variation system command processing is ended. On the other hand, when waiting for reception of the prefetch variation pattern command (step C311; Y), the prefetch variation pattern command reception waiting flag is cleared (step C312).

  Thereafter, the command is saved in the prefetch variation command area corresponding to the total number of reservations (step C313), and a prefetch command consistency check process (step C314) is performed to determine whether the combination of MODE and ACT (command combination) is normal. . If the command combination is not normal (step C315; N), that is, if the value of the invalid command information is returned, the prefetch variation system command processing ends. In this case, the information on the non-normal prefetch fluctuation pattern command may be cleared from the storage area. Also, information (NG information) indicating that the information is not normal may be saved in the corresponding storage area. On the other hand, if the command combination is normal (step C315; Y), that is, if the value of the valid command information is returned, it is determined whether a specific effect is being executed (step C316). The specific effect is an effect in which at least the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed as described in FIG. 41 and FIG.

  If the specific effect is not being executed (step C316; N), the process proceeds to step C318. If the specific effect is being executed (step C316; Y), non-displaying information is set (step C317), and a pre-reading lottery process (step C318) for performing the pre-notice pre-notice effect is performed, and pre-reading notice It is determined whether to generate an effect (step C319).

  Then, if the prefetch advance notice effect is not generated (step C319; N), the prefetch variation system command processing is ended. On the other hand, if pre-reading preview effect is generated (step C319; Y), is the pre-reading preview effect that is generated (that is, pre-reading preview effect selected in the pre-selection lottery process (step C318)) be an effect immediately starting? Is determined (step C320). The effect to be started immediately is, for example, a hold change notice in which the display mode of the decoration start storage display in the first hold display unit 83 displayed on the display device 41 is changed from the present time.

  In addition, the effect not to start immediately is a pending change notice for changing the display mode of the decoration start storage display displayed on the display device 41 from a predetermined timing later, and for example, the first pending display unit 83 is not displayed. It is a pending change notice that starts when display is resumed. In addition to this, it is a previewing notice effect to be performed during execution of the special view variable display game, and effects for generating specific effects and reach states continuously across a plurality of special view change display games, characters appearing in the variable display, and the like Also includes effects such as making a notice by. At the timing to start the execution of such an effect that does not start immediately, if the special figure variation display game is being executed, the special figure variation display game is ended, and the execution of the next special figure variation display game is started Timing etc. are included.

  If it is the effect to be started immediately (step C320; Y), the drawing of the selected prefetch advance notice effect is set (step C321), the non-displayed information is cleared (step C323), and the prefetch change system command processing is performed. finish. On the other hand, if it is not the effect to be started immediately (step C320; N), the drawing reservation setting of the selected prefetch notice effect is set (step C322), and the non-display information is cleared (step C323). End the process.

  In the process (step C322) for setting the drawing reservation setting for the selected prefetch advance notice effect, for example, when the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, setting is made to start the hold change notice at the timing when the display is resumed. Do. As a result, the hold change notification is started at the timing when the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed as shown in FIG. 41 (f) or FIG. 42 (d). The timing at which the display is resumed can be obtained by acquiring the time from the progress of the scenario of the effect currently being executed to the end of the specific effect.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37).

First Modification
Next, a first modified example of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. The gaming machine of the present modification differs in the opportunity to hide the first hold display unit 83.

  In the above-described first embodiment, the first hold display unit 83 is made non-displayed in response to the display of the specific effect, but in the present modification the first hold display on the display device 41 can be performed by the operable rendering device. The first hold display unit 83 is configured to be hidden when the unit 83 overlaps the front side of the displayed area.

  FIG. 55 shows an example of the effect of becoming an SP3 reach where the result is lost after the pseudo connected variation display mode is executed. The progress of the effect is the same as the effect of the SP3 reach where the result is lost after the pseudo continuous change display mode shown in FIG. 42 is executed. Moreover, although the sub display apparatus 49 is used as an effect apparatus which can operate | move here, if it can overlap on the front side of the area | region where the 1st storage display part 83 in the display apparatus 41 is displayed, the other components It may be an object device.

  As shown in FIG. 55 (a), when the same identification information is temporarily stopped in the left and right variable display areas to reach the reach state, the sub display device 49 moves upward and the first hold display unit 83 in the display device 41. During the execution, the hold display unit 84 is superimposed on the front side of the displayed portion, and as shown in FIG. 55 (b), the reach effect display forming one of the predetermined specific effects is displayed on the display device 41 and the sub display device 49. It is started.

  In the reach effect display here, a background display in which the model name “CR Tora” is shown on the display device 41 is displayed, and a background in which the sub display device 49 is shown as the model name “CR Tora” The display is displayed. At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area of the display device 41. Moreover, although the display of the 1st pending | holding display part 83 of the display apparatus 41 and the pending | holding display area 84 is made into a non-display because the sub display apparatus 49 will be in the state overlapped on the front side, The display of the hold display unit 86 is continued.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 55 (c), the pseudo continuous effect display which is one of the predetermined specific effects indicating the pseudo continuous variable display mode is started. Even during the execution of this pseudo-series effect display, the sub display 49 remains overlapped with the front side of the portion where the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display unit 84 during execution are displayed on the display device 41, and the decorative special figure changes The display game display unit 85 is displayed small at the upper left of the display area of the display device 41, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84 is not displayed, and the display of the second hold display unit 86 is It will be continued. When special figure 1 starting memory is generated as a new starting memory during execution of this specific effect, the display of the second special figure 1 holding display portion 86a of the second holding display portion 86 is instantaneous as shown in FIG. Updated to

  After that, when the pseudo connected effect display shown in FIG. 55 (c) is ended, the sub display 49 is operated downward to return to the initial position, and as shown in FIG. 55 (d), It will be in the state which does not overlap in the front side of the part on which the pending display part 83 and the pending display part 84 were displayed. Along with this, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 is resumed on the display device 41. In addition, the display of "repetition" showing that the special figure variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area and that the middle variation display area has revariation is temporarily stopped, and left, middle, right variation display The area is temporarily stopped.

  At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 1 suspension display unit 83a is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage generated during the execution of the specific effect. Also, with this update, it is possible to start a hold change notice that suggests a pre-reading result corresponding to a new start memory, and here, the third decoration start memory display from the left in the first special view 1 hold display 83a is usually This is a display mode different from the display mode of, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is performed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 55 (e), the re-variation display is performed, and as shown in FIG. 55 (f), the reach state is attained again. Then, in the same manner as described above, the sub display device 49 moves upward to overlap the front side of the portion of the display device 41 where the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 are displayed, as shown in FIG. As shown in, the reach effect display which is one of the predetermined specific effects is started. Further, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display during execution 84 is not displayed, and the second hold display unit The display of 86 is continued.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 55 (h), a pseudo continuous effect display that is one of predetermined specific effects indicating a pseudo continuous change display mode is performed, and a sub display is performed when the pseudo continuous effect display ends The device 49 operates downward to return to the initial position, and as shown in FIG. 55 (i), a state in which the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 in execution are not overlapped It becomes. Along with this, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 is resumed on the display device 41. In addition, the display of "repetition" showing that the special figure variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area and that the middle variation display area has revariation is temporarily stopped, and left, middle, right variation display The area is temporarily stopped.

  Thereafter, when the special view 2 start storage is generated in a state where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed as shown in FIG. 55 (j), the first special view 2 hold display unit as shown in FIG. 55 (k) It is immediately updated to display the decoration start memory display corresponding to the special view 2 start memory generated at 83b. In addition, with this updating, it is also possible to start a pending change notice that suggests a prefetching result corresponding to a new starting memory, and here, the decorative starting memory display corresponding to the special view 2 starting memory is different from the normal display mode. It is considered as a display mode, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is made. Also, in the second special view 2 suspension display unit 86b, the display is updated according to the occurrence of the start storage.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 55 (k), a reach state occurs, and the sub display 49 moves upward as described above, and the first hold display 83 and the pending display 84 in the display 41 are displayed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 55 (l), reach effect display, which is one of predetermined specific effects, is started. Further, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display during execution 84 is not displayed, and the second hold display unit The display of 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 55 (m), SP3 reach effect display is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 55 (n), when the specific effect ends, the sub display device 49 operates downward and returns to the initial position, and the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit 84 during execution are displayed on the display device 41. It does not overlap the front side of the other part. Along with this, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 is resumed on the display device 41. In addition, a decoration special figure variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area.

  Such operation control of the effect and the effect device is also realized by setting a scenario table at the start of the special view fluctuation display game. In addition, the special figure 1 reserve information setting process shown in FIG. 52 and the special figure 2 reserve information setting process (not shown) are omitted. As for the determination, here, during the specific effect, the effect device always overlaps the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 in the display device 41 is displayed, so depending on whether or not the specific effect is being performed. You may set information during non-display. Of course, it is determined whether or not the rendering device overlaps the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed in the display device 41 and the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, and the non-display information is set. You may do it.

  Although the rendering device hides the first hold display unit 83 when the display device 83 covers the entire area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, the first hold display unit 83 does not display the first hold display unit 83. The 1 suspension display unit 83 may be hidden. In addition, although the area where the second hold display unit 86 is displayed is a position not covered even when the rendering device operates, the region may be covered when the rendering device operates, and in this case, the rendering You may make it move to the position which is not covered with operation | movement of an apparatus. In addition, with respect to the pending display unit 84, even if the pending display unit 84 is not covered by the rendering device, a part or all of the first suspended display unit 83 is covered by the rendering device and the first pending display It may be made non-display interlocking with the section 83 being non-display.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result Starting memory means (the game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as starting memory based on winning of the game ball in the area to a predetermined upper limit number, and information on the starting memory stored in the starting memory means And a start memory display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying the on-hold display shown on the display device 41, effect equipment capable of being in an overlapping state on the front surface of the display device 41 And the start storage display means displays a first hold display (first hold display unit 83) and a second hold display (second hold display unit 86) as the hold display. The second hold display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping with the rendering device during execution of the variable display game, and the first hold display is configured to be non-displayed when overlapping with the rendering device. When a new start memory occurs when the first hold display is not displayed, the display is updated for the second hold display along with the occurrence of the new start memory, and the first hold display is updated with the first hold display. (1) When the display of the hold display is resumed, the display is updated in accordance with the occurrence of a new starting memory. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient.

  In addition, the start memory display means can display the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) and the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) as the hold display, and one variation display game The second hold display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping with the rendering device while the second hold display is being performed, and the first hold display is non-displayed in the case of overlapping with the rendering device that occurs intermittently several times. If a new start memory occurs when the first hold display is not displayed, the display is updated for the second hold display along with the occurrence of the new start memory, and the first hold display is updated. In this case, when the non-display state where the new start storage has occurred is ended and the display of the first hold display is resumed, the display is updated with the occurrence of the new start storage. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display game, it is a pseudo that the unit fluctuation display which is stopped after displaying a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time during the execution of the fluctuation display game is performed plural times twice or more and the result is derived. There is a continuous fluctuation pattern, and it is possible to make the rendering device overlap the first hold display during execution of the unit fluctuation display. Therefore, the unit fluctuation display can be produced effectively, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, based on winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37), to execute a variable display game to variably display a plurality of identification information, In the gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the result of the variable display game is a special result, a display device 41 capable of displaying information related to the game, and a start winning area Starting memory means (game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as random numbers and starting memory based on the winning of the game ball, and information about the starting memory stored in the starting memory means Starting memory display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying a pending display on the display device 41, and random numbers stored as starting memory in the starting memory means, the fluctuation table based on the starting memory An effect device (sub-display device 49) capable of being operated and capable of being in a state of being superimposed on the front surface of the display device 41 and the prior determination means (game control device 100) to determine before the game is executed And the start storage display means can display the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) and the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) as the hold display. While the variable display game is being performed, the second hold display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping with the rendering device, and the first hold display is non-overlapping in a state of overlapping with the rendering device that occurs intermittently a plurality of times. When a new start memory is generated when the display is configured and the first hold display is not displayed, the display of the second hold display is updated along with the occurrence of the new start memory, (1) New start memory for pending display When the non-displayed state is terminated and the display of the first hold display is resumed, the display is updated according to the occurrence of a new start memory, and the first hold display is not displayed. In the variable display game, it is possible to start notification of the determination result by the predetermination means about the starting memory generated in the state where the first holding display is displayed, when the first holding display is updated along with the occurrence of the starting memory. It will be. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient.

  In addition, the start memory display means can display the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) and the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) as the hold display, and one variation display game The second hold display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping with the rendering device while the second hold display is being performed, and the first hold display is non-displayed in the case of overlapping with the rendering device which occurs intermittently a plurality of times. If a new start memory occurs when the first hold display is not displayed, the display is updated for the second hold display along with the occurrence of the new start memory, and the first hold display is updated. When the non-display state where the new start storage has occurred is ended and the display of the first hold display is resumed, the display is updated along with the occurrence of the new start storage and the new start storage is performed. Report of the judgment result by the prior judgment means of And thus it is possible to start the. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, the determination result of the prior determination means can be notified along with the resumption of the first hold display, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Second Modified Example
Next, a second modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the display of the on-hold display unit 84 is continuously performed even during execution of the specific effect.

  FIG. 56 shows an example of the effect of the SP3 reach where the result is lost. In addition, the progress of the effect is the same as the effect of SP3 reach where the result shown in FIG. 41 is lost. From the state where the identification information is variably displayed in each of the left, middle, and right variable display areas as shown in FIG. 56 (a), as shown in FIG. 56 (b), in the left and right variable display areas. The same identification information is temporarily stopped to reach a reach state, and as shown in FIG. 56 (c), reach effect display, which is one of predetermined specific effects, is started.

  At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area. Although the display of the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, the display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. Further, in the gaming machine of the present modification, the display of the pending display unit 84 is also continued. Further, the reach state is developed, and as shown in FIG. 56 (d), the SP3 reach effect display which is one of the predetermined specific effects is started. Even during the execution of the SP3 reach effect display, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed. The display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. Then, as shown in FIG. 56 (f), when the special effect ends, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area. Further, the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed. As described above, by continuing the display of the holding display unit 84 during execution, it is possible to always perform advance notice about the special view variable display game being executed, and to improve the interest of the game.

  As described above, it is possible to hide only the first hold display unit 83 during execution of the specific effect by setting the scenario table at the start of the special figure variation display game. Here, although the SP3 reach effect display is mentioned as the specific effect, the display of the on-execution holding unit 84 may be continued also in the pseudo continuous effect display as shown in FIG. Of course, the display of the on-hold display unit 84 may be continued for other specific effects.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result, and a start winning prize Starting memory means (the game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as starting memory based on winning of the game ball in the area to a predetermined upper limit number, and information on the starting memory stored in the starting memory means And a start storage display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying the hold display indicating the display on the display device 41, wherein the start storage display means is a first hold display (first hold display unit 8) as the hold display. And a second hold display (second hold display unit 86), and a holding display during execution (the hold display unit 84 during execution) that displays information on starting storage corresponding to the variable display game being executed. The second hold display and the hold display during execution are continuously displayed during the execution of the variable display game, and the first hold display is not displayed during the execution of the predetermined specific effect. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, by continuing the display of the pending display during execution, it is possible to always perform advance notice about the variable display game under execution, and to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, when a new start memory occurs during execution of the specific effect, the start memory display means updates the display of the second hold display along with the occurrence of the new start memory, and the first hold display. When the specific effect is ended and the display of the first hold display is resumed, the display is updated according to the occurrence of the new start memory. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient.

  Note that the configuration of the present modification is the first configuration triggered by the sub display device 49 forming the rendering device overlapping the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, which is the configuration of the above-described first modification. It is also possible to apply to a configuration in which the hold display unit 83 is not displayed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 57, the pending display unit 84 may be moved to a position not covered with the operation of the sub display device 49, or the pending display unit 84 may be displayed from the beginning. The displayed area is at a position not covered even when the sub display 49 is operated.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result Starting memory means (the game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as starting memory based on winning of the game ball in the area to a predetermined upper limit number, and information on the starting memory stored in the starting memory means And a start memory display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying the on-hold display shown on the display device 41, effect equipment capable of being in an overlapping state on the front surface of the display device 41 (The sub display 49), and the start storage display means executes the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83), the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) as the hold display, and It is possible to display the pending display (the pending display unit 84 during execution) displaying information on the starting memory corresponding to the variable display game during the second display and the pending during the execution of the variable display game. The display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping the rendering device, and the first hold display is not displayed when overlapping with the rendering device. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, by continuing the display of the pending display during execution, it is possible to always perform advance notice about the variable display game under execution, and to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when a new start memory occurs when the first hold display is not displayed, the start memory display means updates the display of the second hold display along with the occurrence of the new start memory. With regard to (1) pending display, when the display of the first pending display is resumed, the display is updated in accordance with the occurrence of a new start storage. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient.

Third Modified Example
Next, a third modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of the present modification, in the special view variation display game in which the specific effect is intermittently executed plural times, the advance notice for the start memory which is newly generated until all the specific effects executed plural times are finished I try not to start.

  FIG. 58 shows an example of the effect of becoming an SP3 reach where the result is lost after the pseudo connected variation display mode is executed. The progress of the effect is the same as the effect of the SP3 reach where the result is lost after the pseudo continuous change display mode shown in FIG. 42 is executed. As shown in FIG. 58 (a), when the same identification information is temporarily stopped in the left and right variable display areas to reach a reach state, reach effect which constitutes one of the predetermined specific effects as shown in FIG. 58 (b) Display starts. At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area. Moreover, although the display of the 1st pending display part 83 and the pending display part 84 during execution is made non-display, the display of the 2nd pending display part 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 58 (c), a pseudo continuous effect display is started which is one of the predetermined specific effects indicating that it is a pseudo continuous change display mode. Even during execution of this pseudo-series effect display, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit 84 during execution is hidden. The display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued.

  When Special figure 1 start memory is generated as new start memory during execution of this specific effect, as shown in FIG. 58 (c), the display of the second Special Figure 1 hold display portion 86a of the second hold display portion 86 is immediately Updated to Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 58 (d), the pseudo continuous effect display is ended, and the decorative special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area. Then, the display of “series” indicating that the middle variation display area is re-varied is temporarily stopped, and the left, middle, and right variation display areas are temporarily stopped.

  Moreover, the display of the 1st pending | holding display part 83 and the pending | holding display part 84 during execution is reopened with completion | finish of a pseudo | simulation group effect display. At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 1 suspension display unit 83a is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage generated during the execution of the specific effect. However, the hold change notice, which is the advance notice for the new start memory, is not started here, and the display mode of the decoration start memory display is a normal display mode.

  Thereafter, the re-variation display is performed as shown in FIG. 58 (e), and the reach state is made again as shown in FIG. 58 (f). Then, in the same manner as described above, as shown in FIG. 58 (g), reach effect display that constitutes one of the predetermined specific effects is started, and the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area At the same time, the displays of the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display during execution 84 are not displayed, and the display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 58 (h), a pseudo continuous effect display is performed which constitutes one of the predetermined specific effects indicating that it is a pseudo continuous change display mode, and as shown in FIG. 58 (i) When the display is finished, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84 is resumed. In addition, the display of "repetition" showing that the special figure variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area and that the middle variation display area has revariation is temporarily stopped, and left, middle, right variation display The area is temporarily stopped.

  Thereafter, when the special view 2 start storage is generated in a state where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed as shown in FIG. 58 (j), the first special view 2 hold display unit as shown in FIG. It is immediately updated to display the decoration start memory display corresponding to the special view 2 start memory generated at 83b. However, since not all specific effects are finished here, the hold change notice which is the advance notice for the new start memory is not started, and the display mode of the decoration start memory display is a normal display mode. Also, in the second special view 2 suspension display unit 86b, the display is updated according to the occurrence of the start storage.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 58 (k), a reach state occurs, and as shown in FIG. 58 (l), reach effect display is started, and the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is in the upper left portion of the display area. While being displayed small, the displays of the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display during execution 84 are not displayed, and the display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 58 (m), SP3 reach effect display is executed, and with the end of this SP3 reach effect display, as shown in FIG. 58 (n), the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit during execution The display of 84 is resumed. In addition, the special figure variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area, and the result mode is displayed as shown in FIG. 58 (n), and the special figure variation display game is ended.

  At this time, it is possible to start a hold change notice, which is a prefetch notice effect for the start memory newly generated in the special view change display game. Here, with regard to the special view 1 start storage newly generated in the special view variation display game, a display mode in which the third start decoration display in the first special view 1 suspension display section 83a is different from the normal display mode. The suggestion of the result of pre-reading has been made. In addition, regarding the special figure 2 start memory newly generated in the special figure fluctuation display game, a display mode in which the third decorative start memory display from the left in the first special figure 2 suspension display section 83b is different from the normal display mode The suggestion of the look-ahead result is done.

  As described above, in the special view change display game in which the specific effect is executed, it is possible not to start the advance notice of the start memory for the start memory until all the specific effects executed in the special view change display game are completed. It can be set in the prefetch change system command processing shown at 54. That is, in the judgment (step C320) whether it is an effect to be started immediately, it is determined from the generation timing of the start memory and the content of the advance notice effect whether the advance notice effect is immediately started or not This can be realized by setting an appropriate start timing in the rendering reservation setting for effects (step C322).

  In addition, although the example which starting memory generate | occur | produces during execution of a false continuation effect display was mentioned as a specific effect here, the starting memory generate | occur | produced during execution of SP3 reach effect display is also performed in the said special figure change display game It is made not to start the hold change notice which is the advance notice notice about the starting memory until all the specific effects are finished. Of course, the start memory generated during the execution of other specific effects also does not start the pending change notification which is the advance notice of the start memory, until all of the specific effects executed in the special view variable display game are finished. Let's do it. In addition, it is possible not to start until all the specific effects performed in the special view variable display game are finished for the previewing notice effects other than the pending change advance notice.

  In addition, with regard to the start memory generated during the execution of the specific effect, when the start memory occurs whether or not to start the advance notice effect in the first hold display unit 83 whose display has been resumed along with the end of the specific effect It may be determined according to the type of specific effect being executed. For example, with regard to the start memory generated during the execution of the pseudo series effect display, the previewing notice effect can be started in the first hold display unit 83 whose display is resumed along with the end of the pseudo series effect display, and the pseudo series effect display With regard to the start memory generated during the execution of the specific effects other than the above, the advance notice of the start memory may not be started until all of the specific effects performed in the special view variable display game are finished.

  In addition, with regard to the start memory generated during the period when the first hold display unit 83 is displayed but not all specific effects are finished, the first hold display unit 83 does not immediately start the advance notice effect for previewing. However, it may be possible to immediately start the advance notice effect. In addition, the start storage that occurs when the first hold display unit 83 is displayed and before the start of the first specific effect in the special view variation display game is immediately displayed in the first hold display unit 83. The preview advance notice effect may be started, or the preview notice effect may not be started until all the specific effects are finished. On the other hand, with regard to the start memory generated during the period when the specific effect is executed and the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, the prefetch notice effect is started when the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed, With regard to the start memory generated during the period when 1 suspension display unit 83 is displayed but all the specific effects are not finished, the first suspension display unit 83 is made not to immediately start the advance notice effect for previewing Also good.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 59, the advance notice for the start memory generated during execution of the specific effect (here, SP3 reach effect) is shown in FIG. After the variation display game is over, as shown in FIG. 59 (g), it may be started at the timing when the next special figure variation display game is started. Here, in FIG. 59 (g), the first special view variation display game is started based on the special view 1 start storage. Therefore, the decorative start storage display displayed at the left end of the first special view 1 suspension display portion 83a corresponding to the special view 1 start storage in FIG. 59 (f) is erased, and the remaining decorative start storage display It has shifted to the left one by one. However, when the starting memory generated during the execution of the specific effect is for executing the next special view variation display game, the in-progress holding display unit 84 gives a notice.

  Of course, the start timings of the advance notice of the advance notice effect for the starting memory generated in the state where the first hold display is displayed due to the execution of the specific effect or the restart of the display are not limited to those described above. For example, in FIG. 56 and FIG. 58, although it is the timing when all the specific effects are finished and the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed, as the timing when all the specific effects are finished and the result mode is displayed Also good. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 58, even if there is no specific effect after FIG. 58 (k), the preview advance notice effect may be started at the timing when the result mode is displayed as shown in FIG.

  In addition, it is determined when the prefetch system command is received from the game control device 100, and all the specific effects executed in the special view fluctuation display game are performed even if the execution is determined. Although it has been stated that the advance notice of the start memory is not started until the end of the game, the decision whether to execute the advance notice effect is itself ended in all of the specific effects executed in the special view fluctuation display game. You may not do this until you do.

  Moreover, although it is a period when the specific presentation is performed and the 1st pending display part 83 is displayed while starting memory which occurred in the period when the 1st pending display part 83 is non-displaying, all the specific effects are finished. With regard to both or one of the starting memories generated in the non-period, the preview advance notice effect may not be performed or the hold change notice may not be executed among the prefetch notice effect. For example, in the case of not performing the pending change notice for both of these starting memories, whether or not the variable display game in which the specific effect is executed instead of the non-displayed information is executed in the prefetch change system command processing. It is also possible to set specific effect execution information which is information of a certain item, and if there is the specific effect execution information, a lottery may be conducted by using a table not including a pending change notice in the prefetch lottery process. Further, in the pre-reading lottery process, the lottery is performed using the table including the hold change notice, but when there is the specific effect execution information, the hold change notice may be selected even if it is selected.

  In addition, as described above, in the pre-reading lottery process, the starting memory for which drawing is performed using the table not including the pending change advance notice, and in the pre-reading lottery process, the drawing is conducted using the table including the pending change advance notice With regard to the start memory that has been selected but not executed, another lottery is performed at a later timing such as when all of the specific effects are ended, or when the next special view variation display game is started, etc. It may be possible.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result, and a start winning prize The start storage means (game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as a start memory together with random numbers based on winning of the game ball in the area, and relates to the start memory stored in the start storage means The start storage display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying a hold display indicating information on the display device 41 and the random number stored as the start storage in the start storage means are based on the start storage. And the prior determination means (game control apparatus 100) to determine before the variable display game is executed, and the start storage display means is the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) as the hold display. And the second hold display (second hold display unit 86) can be displayed, and while the one variable display game is being executed, the second hold display is continuously displayed, and the first hold display is intermittent. If a new start memory occurs during the execution of the specified effect, the second hold display is a new start.

Fourth Modified Example
Next, a fourth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the update mode of the hold display is made different depending on the occurrence time of the start memory.

  FIG. 61 shows an example of an effect in which the pseudo continuous change display mode is executed. As shown in FIG. 61 (a), when the same identification information is temporarily stopped in the left and right variable display areas to reach the reach state, reach effect which constitutes one of the predetermined specific effects as shown in FIG. 61 (b) Display starts. At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area. Moreover, although the display of the 1st pending display part 83 and the pending display part 84 during execution is made non-display, the display of the 2nd pending display part 86 is continued. Further, as shown in FIG. 61 (c), a pseudo continuous effect display, which is one of predetermined specific effects indicating that it is a pseudo continuous variable display mode, is started. Even during execution of this pseudo-series effect display, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit 84 during execution is hidden. The display of the second hold display unit 86 is continued.

  When Special figure 1 start memory is generated as new start memory during execution of this specific effect, as shown in FIG. 61 (c), the display of the second special figure 1 hold display portion 86a of the second hold display portion 86 is instantaneous. Updated to At this time, since the specific effect is being executed and the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, the second special view 1 is provided to inform the player of the occurrence of the start memory in an easy-to-understand manner. The display mode emphasizes the update of the hold display unit 86a. Here, the display of the second special view 1 suspension display unit 86a is emphasized by making it larger than usual. Highlighting may be this other aspect, and may be, for example, changing the display color or blinking. This highlighting is performed for a certain period of time, and then returns to the normal display mode as shown in FIG. 61 (d).

  As shown in FIG. 61 (e), when the pseudo continuous effect display is ended, the decorative special view variable display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area. Then, the display of “series” indicating that the middle fluctuation display area is re-fluctuating temporarily stops, and the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas are temporarily stopped. Moreover, the display of the 1st pending | holding display part 83 and the pending | holding display part 84 during execution is reopened with completion | finish of a pseudo | simulation group effect display. At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 1 suspension display unit 83a is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage generated during the execution of the specific effect.

  At this time, the start storage is generated during the period when the specific effect is being executed and the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, and the update is performed when the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed. Therefore, in order to inform the player of the occurrence of the start memory in an easy-to-understand manner, the display mode emphasizes the update of the first special view 1 suspension display portion 83a. Here, the display of the corresponding decoration start storage display in the first special view 1 suspension display unit 86a is made larger and emphasized than usual. Highlighting may be this other aspect, and may be, for example, changing the display color or blinking. Further, the display timing of the target decoration start storage display may be delayed from the display timing of the first hold display unit 83. This highlighting is performed for a fixed period of time, and then returns to the normal display mode as shown in FIG. 61 (f). In addition, although pre-reading advance notice production is started in the decoration starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory concerned here, it may be made to be able to distinguish them as a mode different from highlighting and pre-reading advance notice production.

  Also, when the special figure 2 start memory is generated as a new start memory while the specific effect is not being executed, the special figure 2 start generated in the first special figure 2 suspension display unit 83b as shown in FIG. 61 (g) The display is updated so as to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the storage, and the display of the second special view 2 suspension display unit 86b is also updated. At this time, the start memory is generated while the specific hold is not being performed and the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, and the display is updated when the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed. Since there is not, highlighting as shown in FIG. 61 (c) or (e) is not performed.

  Such a setting for highlighting is a scenario for performing an effect of updating when starting storage is increased in the special view 1 suspension information setting process shown in FIG. 52 and the special view 2 suspension information setting process (not shown). This can be realized by selecting an appropriate scenario table as the table from the occurrence timing of the start storage and the presence / absence of the display of the first hold display unit 83.

When Special figure 1 start memory is generated as new start memory during execution of this specific effect, as shown in FIG. 63 (i), the display of the second Special Figure 1 hold display portion 86a of the second hold display portion 86 is updated. Be done. At this time, although the specific hold is being performed and the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, it is determined that the advance notice for the start memory is not performed, as shown in FIG. 63 (c). There is no highlighting as shown in.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 63 (j), the pseudo continuous effect display is ended, and the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84 is resumed. At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 1 suspension display unit 83a is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start storage generated during the execution of the specific effect. At this time, although the starting memory is generated during the period when the specific hold is being performed and the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, the hold change notice that is the advance notice for the start memory is not performed. Therefore, the highlighting as shown in FIG. 63 (e) is not performed.

  Such a setting for highlighting is a scenario for performing an effect of updating when starting storage is increased in the special view 1 suspension information setting process shown in FIG. 52 and the special view 2 suspension information setting process (not shown). It can be realized by selecting an appropriate scenario table as a table. Here, an appropriate scenario table is selected based on the timing of occurrence of start memory, presence or absence of display on the first hold display unit 83, and whether execution of hold change notice which is advance notice effect is determined in the look-ahead change system command processing. Let's do it.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 63 (g), even when the start memory for performing the advance notice effect is generated while the specific hold is not being executed but the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 63 (c). Alternatively, highlighting may be performed as in (e). Further, although the highlighting shown in FIG. 63 (c) is performed in the case of executing the pre-reading preview effect, it may be suggested to perform the pre-reading preview effect. That is, the highlight display of FIG. 63 (c) may be performed with a predetermined probability even when the advance notice effect is not started at the stage of FIG. 63 (e).

  Moreover, the aspect of the highlighting shown in FIG. 63 (c) or (e) is the time when the start memory is generated during execution of the specific effect shown in FIG. Although the embodiment is the same as the highlighting mode, it is also possible to perform both highlightings in separate modes. Also, as in the third modification, even when the advance notice effect is started at a timing after the timing at which the display of the first hold display unit 83 is resumed, the emphasis shown in FIG. You may make it display. In addition, highlighting may be performed as in the fourth modification or the fifth modification only when a part of the specific effects is executed. For example, highlighting may not be performed during execution of the pseudo sequential effect display, and highlighting may be performed in other specific effects. In addition, when the effect in the special game state is a specific effect, highlighting may not be performed in the specific effect in the special game state. Moreover, the highlighting (suggestive notification) as in the fourth and fifth modifications is not limited to the one performed by the first hold display unit 83 and the second hold display unit 86, and other display areas, lamps, and LEDs Or by voice.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result, and a start winning prize The start storage means (game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as a start memory together with random numbers based on winning of the game ball in the area, and relates to the start memory stored in the start storage means The start storage display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying a hold display indicating information on the display device 41 and the random number stored as the start storage in the start storage means are based on the start storage. And the prior determination means (game control apparatus 100) to determine before the variable display game is executed, and the start storage display means is the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) as the hold display. And the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) can be displayed, and while the variable display game is being performed, the second hold display is continuously displayed, and the first hold display is a predetermined specific effect It is configured to be hidden during execution, and when a new start memory occurs during the execution of the specific effect, the display of the second hold display is updated along with the occurrence of the new start memory, With regard to 1 hold display, when the specific effect ends and the display of the first hold display is resumed, the display is updated according to the occurrence of the new start memory, and it occurs during the execution of the specific effect Pre-decision hand about new starting memory When the notification of the judgment result by is performed in the first hold display in which the display is resumed after the end of the specific effect, when the display is updated with the occurrence of the new start storage in the second hold display, the prior judgment means Thus, it is possible to carry out a suggestion notification that indicates that notification of the determination result by the. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, it can indicate that notification of the determination result by the prior determination means is performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Note that the configuration of the present modification is the first configuration triggered by the sub display device 49 forming the rendering device overlapping the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, which is the configuration of the above-described first modification. It is also possible to apply to a configuration in which the hold display unit 83 is not displayed. FIG. 64 shows an example of the effect in this case. The progress of the effect is the same as the effect when the pseudo continuous change display mode shown in FIG. 63 is executed.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 64 (c), the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed based on the position of the sub display device 49 in front of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed. In the case where the start memory is generated and if the advance notice effect is performed for the start memory, the second hold display unit 86 performs highlighting when the start memory is generated. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 64 (e), in the first hold display unit 83, the display is resumed based on the sub display device 49 retracting from the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed. The decoration start memory display highlighting is performed corresponding to the start memory in which the advance notice effect is performed during the period which is

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 64 (g), in the state where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed without the sub display device 49 being positioned in front of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed. When such start storage is generated, highlighting is not performed on the first hold display unit 83 or the second hold display unit 86. Also, as shown in FIG. 64 (i), the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed based on the position of the sub display device 49 in front of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed. Even if the start memory is generated, if the advance notice effect is not performed for the start memory, the second hold display unit 86 does not highlight the display when the start memory is generated.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result, and a start winning prize Starting memory means (game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as random numbers and starting memory based on winning of the game ball in the area to a predetermined upper limit number, and starting memory stored in the starting memory means Start storage display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying on the display device 41 a hold display indicating information related to the start position memory, and a random number stored as the start storage in the start storage means; And a pre-determination unit (game control apparatus 100) that determines before the variable display game based on the game is performed, and a rendering device (a sub that can be in a state of being superimposed on the front of the display And the start storage display means can display the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) and the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) as the hold display. Yes, while the variable display game is being executed, the second hold display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping with the rendering device, and the first hold display is configured to be non-displayed when overlapping with the rendering device, [1] When a new start storage occurs when the pending display is not displayed, the display of the second pending display is updated along with the occurrence of the new starting storage, and the state of the first pending display is not displayed. Ends and the first pending table The display is updated according to the occurrence of a new start storage when the display of the second display is resumed, and the determination by the prior determination means about the new start storage that occurs when the first hold display is not displayed When the notification of the result is performed in the first hold display in which the display is resumed after the end of the non-display state, when the display is updated according to the occurrence of the new start storage in the second hold display Thus, it is possible to carry out a suggestion notification that indicates that notification of the determination result by the. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, it can indicate that notification of the determination result by the prior determination means is performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Sixth Modification
Next, a sixth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. The gaming machine of the present modification differs in the display mode of the second hold display unit 86.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 65 (a), the second hold display unit 86 displays the number of the special view 1 start storage and the second special view 1 hold display 86a, and the number of the special view 2 start storage In the second hold display unit 86, as shown in FIG. 65 (b), the total number of the special view 1 start memory and the special view 2 start memory is shown. It is also possible to have only the total number display part 86c that displays the. Further, as shown in FIG. 65 (c), the second hold display unit 86 is a second special view 1 hold display unit 86a, a second special view 2 hold display unit 86b, a special view 1 start memory and a special view 2 start A total number display unit 86 c may be provided to display the total number of memories.

  Further, the display mode of the second hold display unit 86 shown in FIGS. 65 (a) to 65 (c) may be switched based on switching conditions such as the gaming state and the rendering state. As a switching condition, whether or not a specific effect is being executed, the probability state to be a special result, the operating state of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37, the reach state or not, or the number of starting memories has reached a predetermined number It is possible to set any condition, such as whether or not.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 65 (b), only the total number display portion 86c may be displayed during execution of the specific effect so as not to disturb the effect display. In addition, when the normal fluctuation winning a prize device 37 is in the normal operation state, the special figure 1 starting memory and the special figure 2 starting memory occur almost alternately, so only the total number display part 86c is displayed, and the time saving operation state In order to increase the frequency of occurrence of the special figure 2 start memory, the second special figure 1 reserve display unit 86a and the second special figure 2 reserve display unit 86b are displayed as shown in FIGS. 65 (a) and (c). Also good. In the case where the display mode of the second hold display unit 86 is switched based on switching conditions such as a gaming state or a rendering state, this can be realized by setting a scenario table that defines display and non-display of each item.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result, and a start winning prize Starting memory means (the game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as starting memory based on winning of the game ball in the area to a predetermined upper limit number, and information on the starting memory stored in the starting memory means And a start storage display means capable of displaying on the display device 41 the hold display indicating the first start winning area (the first start winning opening 36) and the second start winning area (the second start winning area) On There is a mouth 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37), the starting memory means can store the first starting memory (special figure 1 starting memory) as the starting memory based on the winning of the gaming ball to the first starting winning area The second start memory (special figure 2 start memory) can be stored as a start memory based on winning of the game ball in the second start winning area, and the start memory display means is a first hold display (a first hold display) (1) Hold display unit 83) and second hold display (second hold display unit 86) can be displayed, and in the second hold display, the total number of the first start storage and the number of the second start storage The second hold display is continuously displayed while the variable display game is being executed, and the first hold display is configured to be non-displayed during the execution of the predetermined specific effect during the execution of the variable display game. If a new start memory occurs during the execution of the effect, (2) With regard to the hold display, the display is updated along with the occurrence of a new start storage, and when the specific effect is finished for the first hold display and the display of the first hold display is resumed, a new start storage is generated. The accompanying display will be updated. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, since the total number of the number of first start memories and the number of second start memories is displayed in the second hold display, it is easy to grasp the number of start memories.

  In addition, the start storage display means also displays the number of the first start storage and the number of the second start storage in the second hold display. Therefore, all the information regarding the number of starting memories can be grasped by the second hold display.

  In the first hold display, the start memory display means displays the information on the start memory by displaying the start memory display corresponding to each start memory. Therefore, during the period in which the first hold display is displayed, it is possible to notify information on each start storage.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 65 (d) to 65 (f), when the number of start memories becomes a predetermined number or more, highlighting may be performed by the second hold display unit 86. Here, the display of the second hold display unit 86 is emphasized so as to be larger than usual. Highlighting may be this other aspect, and may be, for example, changing the display color or blinking. Also, as shown in FIG. 65 (f), only the total number display part 86c may be highlighted.

  The number of start-up memories for highlighting can be set arbitrarily, but for example, highlighting is performed when the value is 3 or more in the second special view 1 suspension display unit 86a or the second special diagram 2 suspension display unit 86b, The total number display unit 86c performs highlighting when the value is 6 or more. Further, the presence or absence of the execution of the highlighting shown in FIGS. 65 (d) to 65 (f) may be determined based on the execution conditions such as the gaming state and the rendering state. As the execution condition, any condition can be set such as whether or not a specific effect is being executed, a probability state, a reach state, and whether or not the number of start memories has reached a predetermined number. When the display mode of the second hold display unit 86 is changed based on the execution conditions such as the gaming state and the effect state, the object as the display of each item of the second hold display unit 86 is highlighted based on the execution conditions. It can be realized by selecting from a certain thing and something not.

  Thus, by highlighting when the number of starting memories is equal to or more than the predetermined number, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the overflow winning which is the starting winning which occurs in the state where the starting memory is the upper limit value. It is possible not to give a sense of In particular, since only the second hold display unit 86 is displayed during execution of the specific effect, it is possible to effectively inform the player of the state of the number of start memories by performing such highlighting. From the above, the effect control device 300 is configured to perform a specific notification when the number of start memories exceeds a predetermined number. Further, the effect control device 300 performs a specific notification when the total number of the special view 1 start storage and the special view 2 start storage exceeds a predetermined number.

  Note that the configuration of the present modification is the first configuration triggered by the sub display device 49 forming the rendering device overlapping the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, which is the configuration of the above-described first modification. It is also possible to apply to a configuration in which the hold display unit 83 is not displayed. In this case, the second hold display unit 86 continues even if the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed because the sub display device 49 is positioned in front of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed. , And the total number of the special view 1 start storage and the special view 2 start storage can be displayed by the second hold display unit 86. In addition, when the number of starting memories is equal to or more than a predetermined number, highlighting is performed.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A display device 41 capable of displaying information related to a game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result, and a start winning prize Starting memory means (the game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right to execute the variable display game as starting memory based on winning of the game ball in the area to a predetermined upper limit number, and information on the starting memory stored in the starting memory means A presentation device (sub-display device 49) capable of being operated and capable of being in a state of being superimposed on the front surface of the display device 41. There are a first start winning area (the first start winning opening 36) and a second starting winning area (the second start winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37) in the start winning area, and the starting memory is stored. The means is capable of storing the first start memory (special figure 1 start memory) as start memory based on the game ball winning in the first start winning area, and starting based on the game ball winning in the second start winning area The second start storage (special view 2 start storage) can be stored as the storage, and the start storage display means includes a first hold display (first hold display unit 83) and a second hold display (second The second display unit is configured to display the total number of the first start memory and the number of the second start memory in the second display mode, and during execution of the variable display game, The second hold display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping with the rendering device. The first hold display is configured to be non-displayed when overlapping with the rendering device, and when a new start memory is generated when the first hold display is non-display, a new hold display is newly generated. Display is updated with the occurrence of a new start storage, and when the display of the first suspension display is resumed when the non-display state ends for the first suspension display, the display is updated with the occurrence of a new start storage Will be done. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, since the total number of the number of first start memories and the number of second start memories is displayed in the second hold display, it is easy to grasp the number of start memories.

Seventh Modified Example
Next, a seventh modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. The gaming machine of this modification can notify the state of the normal fluctuation winning device 37.

  As shown in FIG. 66 (a), in the gaming machine of the present modification, the second hold display unit 86 can execute the common view hold display 86d corresponding to the common view start memory. Here, it is indicated that the number of general drawing reservations is 0. Further, in the short time operation state, when the general drawing start storage is 0 and is in the general drawing hit state, the end timing notification 87 can be executed to notify the end timing of the general drawing hit state. In this case, it is informed that in the remaining 30 seconds, the normal drawing hit state ends and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is closed.

  In the time-saving operation state, the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game is highly likely to hit, and if the common drawing start memory is not interrupted, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is opened periodically and the player hardly reduces the ball holding I can play a game. However, if the normal drawing start memory does not occur, the opening of the normal variable winning device 37 is interrupted, which is a disadvantage for the player. It is notified by an end timing notification 87 that the occurrence of such an adverse condition for the player is near, and the player is urged to generate the common drawing start memory. In addition, as shown in FIG. 66 (b), the end time notification 87 can be executed even while the specific effect is being executed. Also, the remaining time may be indicated by something other than numerical values, such as graph display as shown in FIG. 66 (c).

[Gate switch monitoring process]
In order to notify the end time as described above, the gate switch monitoring process shown in FIG. 67 is performed instead of the gate switch monitoring process shown in FIG. In this gate switch monitoring process, when the common drawing reserve number is updated by 1 (step B103), a common drawing reserve number command corresponding to the common drawing reserve number is prepared (step B121), and effect command setting processing is performed (step B122). Thereby, the information regarding the increase of the common drawing start memory is transmitted to the presentation control apparatus 300.

[Normal figure normal processing]
Also, instead of the ordinary drawing routine processing shown in FIG. 35, the ordinary drawing routine processing shown in FIG. 68 is performed. In the ordinary drawing normal process, when the ordinary drawing reserve number is updated by 1 (step B320), the ordinary drawing reserve number command corresponding to the ordinary drawing reserve number is prepared (step B131), and effect command setting processing is performed (step B131) Step B132). As a result, information on the decrease in the general drawing start memory is transmitted to the effect control device 300.

[Process while displaying a common map]
Also, instead of the general drawing display processing shown in FIG. 36, the common drawing display processing shown in FIG. 69 is performed. In the processing during this common drawing display, when it comes into contact during common power support (during time-saving operation) (step B504; Y), a command per common drawing corresponding to common drawing stop symbol information is prepared (step B141) , Effect command setting processing is performed (step B142). As a result, the effect control device 300 transmits information indicating the hit and the type of the hit.

[Single-shot command processing]
Also, instead of the one-shot system command processing shown in FIG. 51, one-shot system command processing shown in FIG. 70 is performed. In this one-shot system command processing, it is determined whether MODE is in the range of a common drawing system, that is, whether the received command is a common drawing reservation number command or a common drawing command (step C331). If it is determined that MODE is within the range of a drawing-oriented system (step C331; Y), a drawing-oriented information setting process (step C332) is performed to process information related to the drawing, and the one-shot system command processing ends. . If it is determined that the MODE is not within the range of a common drawing system (step C331; N), processing for another MODE (not shown) is performed.

[General map information setting process]
FIG. 71 shows the drawing information setting process (step C332) in the above-described one-shot system command process. In this common drawing information setting process, first, it is determined whether a common drawing hold number command has been received (step C341). If the common drawing reservation number command has not been received (step C341; N), the process proceeds to step C343. If the common drawing reserve number command is received (step C341; Y), is the value of the command set in the common drawing reserve number grasped by the effect control device 300 (step C342), and whether the common drawing per command has been received? Is determined (step C343).

  When the command per common drawing is not received (step C343; N), the common drawing information setting process is ended. When a command per drawing is received (step C343; Y), it is determined whether or not the time saving operation state is set (step C344). Then, if it is not in the time saving operation state (step C344; N), the common drawing information setting process is ended. If it is in the time saving operation state (step C344; Y), it is determined whether the number of general drawing reservations is 0 (step C345). When the common drawing reservation number is not 0 (step C345; N), the common drawing information setting process is ended. Also, if the number of popular drawing reservations is 0 (step C345; Y), the time of the hit state is acquired based on the common drawing command (step C346), and the end time notification is set (step C347). The figure information setting process is ended. That is, the effect control device 300 serves as end notification means capable of notifying the end timing of the hit state.

  Although the end time notification 87 is performed in the short time operation state, it may be performed in the normal operation state. In addition, although it has been described that the general drawing start memory number is 0, it may be performed even if it is not 0. In addition, although it is described that it is performed during the execution of the specific effect, it may not be performed. Further, the general drawing reserve number display 86 d in the second reserve display unit 86 may be performed only in the time-saving operation state.

  From the above, based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37), a special view fluctuation display to variably display a plurality of identification information In the gaming machine that generates a special game that gives a predetermined game value to the player when the game is executed and the result of the special view variation display game is a special result, closing to the start winning area is difficult. The right to execute the common drawing fluctuation display game as the common drawing start memory based on the detection of the game ball in the predetermined area and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 which can be converted into the open state where the winning is easier than the closed state. The hit state of converting the normal fluctuation winning device 37 into the open state based on the common drawing start storage means (game control device 100) capable of storing up to a predetermined upper limit number and the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game becoming a specified result. Normal fluctuation prize that occurs置制 and control means (a game control device 100), the notification can be terminated notification means the end timing of the per state (effect control device 300), and it has to include a. Therefore, since the player can know the end timing of the hit state, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, the end notification means can notify the end timing of the hit state when the number of common drawing start storages is zero. Therefore, the player can know that the final hit state before the break-up display game is interrupted, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the operation state setting means (the game state setting means (game for setting the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning a prize device 37) to either the normal operation state or the short time operation state where the open time per unit time is longer than the normal operation state. The control device 100) is provided, and the end notification means can notify the end timing of the hit state in the case of the time saving operation state. Therefore, since it is possible to know the end timing of the hit state in a time-saving operation state that is advantageous for the player, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, display device 41 capable of displaying information related to the game, and start storage means capable of storing the right to execute the special view variation display game based on winning of the game ball in the start winning area as the start memory Control device 100) and start storage display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying on the display device 41 a hold display indicating information on start storage stored in the start storage means, wherein the start storage display means The first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) and the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) can be displayed as the hold display, and while the special view variation display game is being executed, the second hold can be displayed. The display is continuously displayed, and the first hold display is configured to be hidden during the execution of the predetermined specific effect, and when a new start memory is generated during the execution of the specific effect, the second About pending display The display is updated with the occurrence of a new start memory, and the display of the first hold display is updated with the occurrence of a new start memory when the specific effect is ended and the display of the first hold display is resumed. The end notification means performs notification even during execution of the specific effect. Therefore, the situation of the special view start memory can be always grasped, and the player can be prevented from inconvenience. In addition, it is possible to always notify information on the hit state of the common drawing that affects the ease of generation of the special drawing start memory.

  Note that the configuration of the present modification is the first configuration triggered by the sub display device 49 forming the rendering device overlapping the front side of the area where the first hold display unit 83 is displayed, which is the configuration of the above-described first modification. It is also possible to apply to a configuration in which the hold display unit 83 is not displayed. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 66 (d) and 66 (f), whether the area where the end time notification 87 is displayed is not covered even if the sub display 49 is operated, or FIG. 66 (b) In the case where the sub display device 49 is an area covered when the sub display device 49 is operated as shown in FIG. 66E, the end time is notified to a position not covered with the operation of the sub display device 49 as shown in FIG.

It will be updated.

  Then, when the specific effect is finished as shown in FIG. Further, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 is resumed on the sub display device 49. At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 2 reserve display unit 83b is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start store generated during the execution of the specific effect in the first special view 1 reserve display unit 83a. The display is updated so as to display the decoration start memory display corresponding to the special view 2 start memory generated during the execution of the specific effect. In addition, with this update, it is also possible to start a pending change notice that indicates the prefetching results corresponding to these new starting memories, and here, the third decoration starting memory display from the left in the first special view 2 pending display portion 83b. Is a display mode different from the normal display mode, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is made.

  FIG. 73 shows the display mode in the high probability state. As shown in FIG. 73A, the first hold display unit 83 and the under-execution display unit 84 are displayed on the display device 41. Then, as shown in FIG. 73 (b), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left and right variable display areas and reaches the reach state, the sub display device 49 moves upward and the first hold display of the display device 41 The portion 83 overlaps the front side of the displayed portion of the on-hold display portion 84, and as shown in FIG. 73 (c), the reach effect display forming one of the predetermined specific effects is the display device 41 and the sub display device It starts at 49.

  In the reach effect display here, a background display in which the model name “CR Tora” is shown on the display device 41 is displayed, and a background in which the sub display device 49 is shown as the model name “CR Tora” The display is displayed. At this time, the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left portion of the display area of the display device 41. Moreover, although the display of the 1st pending | holding display part 83 of the display apparatus 41 and the pending | holding display area 84 is made into a non-display because the sub display apparatus 49 will be in the state overlapped on the front side, The display of the hold display unit 86 is continued.

  Further, the reach state is developed, and as shown in FIG. 73 (d), the SP3 reach effect display, which is one of the predetermined specific effects, is started. In this SP3 reach effect display, effect display in which a character appears is performed on the display device 41 and the sub display device 49. Even during the execution of this SP3 reach effect display, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game display unit 85 is displayed small in the upper left of the display area of the display device 41, and the first hold display unit 83 and the execution hold display unit of the sub display device 49. The display of 84 is made non-display, and the display of the second hold display unit 86 on the display device 41 is continued.

  Then, when the special view 1 start storage is generated as a new start storage during execution of this specific effect, the second special view of the second hold display unit 86 displayed on the display device 41 as shown in FIG. 73 (d) The display of the 1 hold display unit 86a is updated. Also, when the special view 2 start storage is generated as a new start storage during execution of the specific effect, as shown in FIG. 73 (e), the display of the second special view 2 suspension display 86b of the second suspension display 86 It will be updated.

  Then, when the specific effect is finished as shown in FIG. 73 (f), the decorative feature variation display game display unit 85 is displayed at the center of the display area of the display device 41. Further, the sub display device 49 operates downward to return to the initial position, and retracts from the front side of the portion of the display device 41 where the first hold display unit 83 and the under-execution hold unit 84 are displayed. Along with this, the display of the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 is resumed on the display device 41.

  At this time, in the first hold display unit 83, the display is updated in association with the occurrence of start storage during execution of the specific effect. Here, the first special view 2 reserve display unit 83b is updated to display the decoration start storage display corresponding to the special view 1 start store generated during the execution of the specific effect in the first special view 1 reserve display unit 83a. The display is updated so as to display the decoration start memory display corresponding to the special view 2 start memory generated during the execution of the specific effect. In addition, with this update, it is also possible to start a pending change notice that indicates the prefetching results corresponding to these new starting memories, and here, the third decoration starting memory display from the left in the first special view 2 pending display portion 83b. Is a display mode different from the normal display mode, and the suggestion of the look-ahead result is made.

  In the low probability state, since the possibility of a special result is low, it is necessary to enhance the interest of the presentation and give the player the motivation to continue the game. Therefore, the first hold display unit 83 and the under-execution display unit 84 are displayed on the sub display device 49 so that the display area of the display device 41 for displaying the special view variation display game can be widely used, and various effect display In order to enhance the fun of the game.

  On the other hand, in the high probability state, interest in when the next special result is derived is higher than that of the presentation content. In addition, the execution time of the special figure variation display game is shortened, and the time saving state of the starting memory is increased. Therefore, the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 displaying the result, and the first hold display unit 83 displaying the information of the start storage and the hold display during execution 84 are displayed on the same display device 41 and brought close to each other. The amount of movement of the point of view between the decoration special view variable display game display unit 85 and the first hold display unit 83 is reduced so that the player can easily grasp the progress of the special view variable display game. .

  As described above, a scenario table for displaying the first hold display unit 83 and the pending display unit 84 during execution on the display device 41 or the sub display device 49 is set based on the probability state. It is possible to do by doing. Moreover, about display and non-display, it is realizable by setting the scenario table containing information of display and non-display at the time of the start of a special figure change display game. In addition, although the reach production display and the SP3 reach production display were mentioned as a specific production here, also in the case of other specific productions, such as the pseudo continuous effect display shown in FIG. The hold display unit 84 is hidden.

  From the above, a variable display game in which a plurality of identification information is variably displayed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37). A first display device (display device capable of displaying a variable display game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to a player when it is executed and the result of the variable display game is a special result 41) and the second display device (sub display device 49) capable of displaying information related to the game, and the right of execution of the variable display game based on winning of the game ball to the start winning area as start memory A possible start storage means (the game control apparatus 100) and a hold display (first hold display unit 83, second hold display unit 86) indicating information on the start memory stored in the start memory unit as the first display device or the first display device 2 The start memory display means (effect control device 300) which can be displayed on the display device, and either the low probability state or the high probability state higher than the low probability state. The start memory display means displays the hold display on the second display device in the low probability state, and the first display device in the high probability state. It will be displayed on the pending display.

  Therefore, in the low probability state, the effect of the variable display game can be effectively performed in the first display device, the interest of the game can be improved, and the second display device can always grasp the situation of the start memory It is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, in the high probability state, generation of the next special result is expected, and by making it possible to grasp the state of the start memory and the state of the variable display game at a glance, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, the start storage display means can display the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) and the second hold display (the second hold display unit 86) as the hold display, and the first hold display Displaying in the second display in the low probability state, displaying in the first display in the high probability state, and displaying the second hold display on the first display regardless of the probability state Become. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, the second hold display that is always displayed can be prevented from disturbing other effect display.

  The start memory display means continuously displays the second hold display while the variable display game is being executed, and makes the first hold display non-display when executing a predetermined specific effect, and the specific effect of the specific effect When a new start memory occurs during execution, the display is updated with the occurrence of a new start memory for the second hold display, and the specific effect ends for the first hold display, and the first hold display When the display of is resumed, the display is updated with the occurrence of a new starting memory. Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the situation of the starting memory, and it is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient.

  In the first hold display, the start memory display means displays information on the start memory by displaying a start memory display corresponding to each start memory in a one-on-one manner. In the second hold display, the start memory number is displayed. By displaying, it is possible to show information on the starting memory. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the second hold display constantly displayed from disturbing other effect display.

  In addition, based on winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 97, the normal fluctuation winning device 37), to execute a variable display game to variably display a plurality of identification information, And a first display device (display device 41) capable of displaying the variable display game in a gaming machine that generates a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player when the result of the variable display game is a special result. , A second display device (sub display device 49) capable of displaying information related to gaming and capable of operating and overlapping the front surface of the first display device, and gaming to the start winning area A starting memory means (game control apparatus 100) capable of storing the right of execution of the variable display game up to a predetermined upper limit number as starting memory based on winning of a ball, and information indicating the information regarding the starting memory stored in the starting memory means Start memory display means (effect control device 300) capable of displaying a display on the first display device or the second display device, a probability state in which the result of the variable display game is a special result, a low probability state, and the low probability state And a probability setting means (game control apparatus 100) to be set to one of the higher probability state higher than the high probability state, and the start storage display means is the first hold display (the first hold display unit 83) as the hold display. , And the second hold display (second hold display unit 86) can be displayed, and the first hold display is displayed on the second display device in the low probability state, and displayed on the first display device in the high probability state And the second pending display is configured to be displayed on the first display regardless of the probability state, and during the high probability state, the second pending display is continuously displayed at a position not overlapping the second display. , The first hold indication overlaps with the second display In the case where a new start memory occurs when the first hold display is not displayed, the second hold display is displayed along with the occurrence of the new start memory. With respect to the first hold display, when the display of the first hold display is resumed, the display is updated along with the occurrence of a new start storage.

  Therefore, in the low probability state, the effect of the variable display game can be effectively performed in the first display device, the interest of the game can be improved, and the second display device can always grasp the situation of the start memory It is possible to prevent the player from being inconvenient. Further, in the high probability state, generation of the next special result is expected, and by making it possible to grasp the state of the start memory and the state of the variable display game at a glance, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Although the display devices for displaying the first hold display unit 83 and the holding display unit during execution 84 in the low probability state and the high probability state are different from each other in the high probability state, the display of the special view fluctuation display game is more than the low probability state. It may be displayed as long as the display and the display of the start memory are close to each other. For example, in both the low probability state and the high probability state, the first hold display unit 83 and the in-progress hold display unit 84 are displayed on the display device 41, but in the high probability state, display of the special view fluctuation display game than the low probability state. And the display of the start memory may be displayed close to each other. Moreover, although the first hold display unit 83 and the under-execution display unit 84 are displayed on the sub display device 49 in both the low probability state and the high probability state, in the high probability state, the special view variation display game is displayed rather than the low probability state. The display position of the sub display device 49 may be different, or the arrangement position of the sub display device 49 itself may be different, so that the display and the display of the start storage are displayed close to each other.

  In the first embodiment and each modification described above, the gaming machine which digests the special view 1 start storage and the special view 2 start storage in the generation order has been described, but the special view 2 start storage is more than the special view 1 start storage It may be a gaming machine that preferentially digests In addition, it may be a gaming machine capable of simultaneously executing a special view variation display game based on the special view 1 start memory and a special view variation display game based on the special view 2 start memory.

  Moreover, the specific effect which makes the 1st pending | holding display part 83 non-display is not restricted to what was mentioned above. For example, the effect during the special gaming state may be a specific effect, or only a part of the effect during the special gaming state may be a specific effect, among fanfare effects, ending effects, round effects, interval effects, and round continuation effects. An arbitrary effect may be set as the specific effect. In addition, a special effect may be set as a special effect based on a part of the big hit type and the small hit type.

  In addition, a cut-in effect that cuts in an image or character while fluctuating display, or a step-up effect that suggests a high possibility of becoming a special result by a stage where an image or character appears and progresses gradually It may be a specific effect. In addition, in the decorative special figure fluctuation display game, the re-variation display effect of performing the re-variation display after temporarily stopping in the special result aspect and deriving the final special result aspect may be set as the specific effect.

  In addition, while the first hold display unit 83 and the hold display unit during execution 84 are not displayed during the execution of the specific effect, they may be temporarily displayed at a predetermined timing. For example, it may be displayed temporarily at predetermined time intervals, or may be displayed temporarily when start storage occurs. Alternatively, the hold change notice may be started while the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, and may be temporarily displayed when the hold change notice is started while the display is not displayed. Further, the display mode of the holding display unit 84 may be changeable while the holding display unit 84 is not displayed, and may be temporarily displayed when changing the display mode while the display is not displayed. In addition, when an error state occurs in the gaming machine, it may be displayed.

  In addition, while the first special view 1 suspension display unit 83a and the first special view 2 suspension display unit 83b are both hidden during execution of the specific effect, only one of them may be hidden. . In addition, although the second hold display unit 86 is always displayed, it may be hidden during the period in which the first hold display unit 83 is displayed. Furthermore, both the first hold display unit 83 and the second hold display unit 86 may be hidden. In this case, the second hold display unit 86 may be displayed temporarily to indicate the occurrence of the start storage to the player when the start storage is generated.

  In addition, when the start storage is generated in a state where the first hold display unit 83 is not displayed, and the display is updated when the first hold display unit 83 is redisplayed, there is a start memory generated during the non-display. You may emphasize that. For example, the display timing of the decoration start storage display corresponding to the start storage generated during non-display may be delayed relative to the display timing of the first hold display unit 83.

  Further, the configurations of the above-described first embodiment and the respective modified examples can be arbitrarily combined and applied.
