Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine in which a pre-reading advance notice effect is executed based on the hold storage of numerical data extracted due to entering the starting opening.

  In conventional ball and ball game machines, numerical data (random numbers) are extracted due to entering a starting opening provided in the game area of the game board, and the extracted random numbers are stored as reserved storage up to a predetermined number. Be done. And while performing the propriety determination of whether the stored random number is a value which becomes a predetermined big hit, after displaying the special symbol in a variable display, it is determined and displayed, and when the result of the propriety determination is a big hit, prize The mainstream is to shift to a big hit game (special game) which is expected to increase ball acquisition and which is advantageous to the player. In addition, the random number stored on hold is made easy for the player to understand by displaying the same number of the hold display as the stored number.

  Further, in the conventional ball and ball game machine, the player can confirm the random number stored on hold before the acceptance determination, and executes the advance notice effect to suggest the possibility that the random number will be a big hit. In some cases, there is an expectation of becoming a big hit before the result of the pass / fail judgment is displayed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP, 2010-099203, A JP, 2016-067886, A

By the way, in the ball and ball game machine described in Patent Document 1, the random number initially stored on hold is a big hit during the fluctuation of the special symbol started in the absence of the random number of the held storage on which the pass / fail judgment is held. In the case where there is any, the pre-reading advance notice effect is not executed for the random numbers of the pending storage. Further, in the ball and ball game machine described in Patent Document 2, it is an execution condition of the advance notice effect in advance that there is one or more specific hold memories in the hold memory in the special game. Even in the case of satisfying, when the special effect in the special game is being executed, the effect is not executed.
The conventional pre-reading advance notice effect follows the characteristic of the effect which straddles the fluctuation of plural special symbols, when the random operation is extracted and the pre-reading is done, if the effect is not executed without the condition being satisfied, It may not be performed as it is because of the relationship with the pre-reading of the extracted random number. Therefore, in the conventional configuration, it can not be said that the frequency of execution of the advance notice announcement effect is high, and it can not be said that the advance notice announcement effect is sufficiently utilized.
Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been made as an object to realize a ball game machine having a rich amusement, in which the frequency of execution of the advance notice effect is high and the advance notice effect is sufficiently utilized.

The invention according to claim 1 is
Numerical data extraction means for extracting numerical data due to the game ball entering the starting opening;
Holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means as a pending storage;
Eligibility determination means for executing a propriety determination of whether to shift to a special game advantageous to the player based on the numerical data stored in the hold storage means;
A special symbol display device that variably displays a special symbol indicating the result of the success or failure determination, and displays the special symbol and displays the result after that.
Numerical data confirmation means for confirming the contents of the numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means prior to the determination on the basis of the numerical data;
Pre-reading advance notice effect control means for executing pre-reading advance notice effect suggesting an expectation degree of shifting to the special game of the confirmed numerical data when the confirmation result confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means is a predetermined confirmation result; Equipped with
The pre-read notice effect control means is
During the variation of the special symbol according to a predetermined variation mode, it is possible to start the pre-reading advance notice effect of the numerical data extracted due to the entering of the ball as the first execution start condition that entering the starting opening is the first execution start condition ,
Alternatively, after entering the starting opening, if the pre-reading advance notice effect is not started under the first execution start condition, the number of pending storages is a predetermined number of storages at the start of a new variation of the special symbol. It is characterized in that the pre-read advance notice effect of the numerical data extracted due to the entering of the ball can be started by setting the above as a second execution start condition.

It is desirable that the present invention is performed in the following procedure when storing numerical data extracted due to the ball entering the starting opening in the holding storage means. For example, when numerical data is extracted due to entering the starting opening, it is checked whether the number of numerical data stored in the holding storage means has reached the upper limit number. If the upper limit number is not reached, the extracted numerical data is stored in a predetermined storage area set in advance. Thereafter, the numerical data stored in the predetermined storage area is stored in the holding storage means.
Further, if the number of numerical data stored in the holding storage means does not reach the upper limit number, the extracted numerical data may be stored in the predetermined storage area and the holding storage means.
Furthermore, when numerical data is extracted due to entry into the starting opening, the extracted numerical data is stored in a predetermined storage area. Then, it is confirmed whether the number of numerical data stored in the storage means has reached the upper limit number, and if the upper limit has not been reached, the numerical data stored in the predetermined storage area is stored in the storage means You may In this case, if the numerical data stored in the reserve storage means has reached the upper limit number, the numerical data stored in the predetermined storage area is erased.

The numerical data confirmation means desirably has a configuration for confirming numerical data stored in a predetermined storage area. The present invention is not limited to this, and the numerical data stored in the hold storage unit may be confirmed. In addition, a configuration may also be considered in which when numerical data is extracted, it is checked as it is without using means for storing numerical data, and the confirmation result is stored.
The numerical data confirmation means confirms, for example, whether the contents of the numerical data are contents to be a special game (big hit game) which is advantageous to the player. In this case, it is desirable to confirm whether the game content (round number) of the special game or the advantageous game is given to transition to the next special game after the special game. In addition to this, it is checked whether normal reach effect is executed, whether super reach effect is executed, and whether the reach effect is not executed. Moreover, the structure which confirms the presentation content is also considered. In this case, the numerical data confirmation means is configured to specify the effect contents in advance.

The preview advance notice effect control means can execute the advance notice notice effect according to a predetermined confirmation result such as the possibility that the numerical data may become a special game (including super reach and reach) by the numerical data extraction means .
The prefetch advance notice effect control means determines, as the flow of control, the determination of whether the content is a specific determination content by the prefetch determination, the determination of whether the first execution start condition is satisfied, and the determination of whether the second execution start condition is satisfied. The configuration to be done is desirable. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, first, determination of whether the first execution start condition is satisfied, determination of whether the content is a specific determination content by prefetching determination, determination of whether the second execution start condition is satisfied, prefetching determination A configuration is also conceivable in which the determination is made in the order of the determination content.
In the first execution start condition, it is desirable that the predetermined fluctuation mode in the fluctuation of the special symbol is, for example, a lost fluctuation in which the reach effect is not performed. By making it possible to perform previewed advance presentation effects when the sense of expectation of the change effects is low, it is possible to have expectations even in the case of lost changes.
In the second execution start condition, when a new special symbol variation is started, for example, if there is one or more pending storages for which the pass / fail determination has not been made, the prefetching notice effect as a predetermined number of pending storages. It is desirable to If there is one or more pending memories, it is possible to produce effects across a plurality of changes including the changes.

  According to the present invention, while the previewed advance presentation effect is performed when the first execution start condition is satisfied, the second execution start condition is satisfied even if the first execution start condition is not satisfied. To be executed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the frequency of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect, to fully utilize the pre-reading advance notice effect, and to provide a ball game machine having a rich amusement.

The invention according to claim 2 is the ballistic game machine according to claim 1, wherein
The preview advance notice effect control means starts the advance notice effect even if the first execution start condition is satisfied when the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means is a specific confirmation result. It is the structure which can start the said pre-reading advance announcement production, without making it the said 2nd execution start condition be satisfied.
For example, when the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmation means is a special game, the prefetch notice effect control means does not execute the prefetch notice effect even if the first execution start condition is satisfied, and the second execution start condition is It is desirable to execute pre-read advance notice effects by being established. In this way, the player will expect the prefetch notice effect to be started at the timing of the second execution start condition, and will not be started at the time of entering the starting opening (the timing of the first execution start condition). Also the sense of expectation will be sustained.

  According to the present invention, the player is made aware of the effect start timing, such as whether the prefetch advance notice effect is executed by the establishment of the first execution start condition or by the establishment of the second execution start condition. At the timing of, it is possible to add an interest such as the high reliability of the notice production and the low reliability at the other timing.

The invention according to claim 3 is the ballistic game machine according to claim 1, wherein
The prefetch advance notice effect control means executes the prefetch notice effect when the first execution start condition is satisfied when the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means is a specific confirmation result. However, even if the second execution start condition is satisfied, it is possible to not execute the pre-read advance notice effect.
For example, when the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmation means is a special game, the prefetch notice effect control means executes the prefetch notice effect when the first execution start condition is satisfied. On the other hand, it is desirable not to execute the advance notice effect even if the second execution start condition is satisfied. In this way, the player will expect the prefetch notice effect to be started at the timing of the first execution start condition, but if it is started at the timing of the second execution start condition even if it is not started there Because, there is a sense of expectation will be sustained.

  According to the present invention, the player is made aware of the effect start timing, such as whether the prefetch advance notice effect is executed by the establishment of the first execution start condition or by the establishment of the second execution start condition. At the timing of, it is possible to add an interest such as the high reliability of the notice production and the low reliability at the other timing.

The invention according to claim 4 is the ballistic game machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
When the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means is a specific confirmation result, the pre-read advance notice effect control means satisfies the first execution start condition and the second execution start condition. If there is not, it is a configuration capable of performing special pre-reading notice effect.

  If neither the first execution start condition nor the second execution start condition is established, the change of the special symbol based on the numerical data stored on hold immediately after entering the starting opening is a situation where it starts. Therefore, as a special advance read advance notice effect, the effect (for example, changing the color) of the expectation is performed with the effect pattern in the change based on the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmation means, or the notice effect of the expectation increase in the change effect It is desirable to do.

  According to the present invention, even if neither the first execution start condition nor the second execution start condition is satisfied, the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmation means can be utilized by performing the special pre-reading advance notice effect, and the notice It is possible to increase the frequency of presentation execution.

  The pachinko machine 1 is a big hit (winning) according to the mode in which the first special figure and the second special figure are displayed, and if it is a big hit (winning), a big hit game (special game) advantageous to the player can be expected. To be executed. In the big hit game, the big winning opening 25 is opened in a predetermined opening mode, and the game ball can enter the big winning opening 25. In addition, as a big hit game, for example, from the 5R normal big hit game which performs 5 rounds of round games to open the big winning opening 25 in a predetermined opening manner, the 8R positive variation big hit game which performs 8 rounds, and the 10R positive variation big hit game which performs 10 rounds Any one game is selected.

  The pachinko machine 1 is configured as a randomizer. Specifically, the gaming by the pachinko machine 1 is roughly divided into a gaming state in which the large winning opening 25 is closed and a big hit gaming state in which the large winning opening 25 is opened. Furthermore, the gaming state in which the big winning opening 25 is closed is roughly classified into a normal probability state (normal gaming state) and an advantage for the player compared to the normal gaming state (a probability of becoming a big hit is high and easy to hit) There is a high probability gaming state (hereinafter also described as a probability variation gaming state). For example, after the 5R normal big hit game is over, it shifts to the normal probability gaming state, and it shifts to the high probability gaming state after the 8R positive variation big hit game or the 10R positive variation big hit game is over.

  The first special figure and the second special figure consist of probability fluctuation symbol and non probability fluctuation symbol, and the probability variation gaming state is set to be able to shift after the big hit game with probability fluctuation symbol, normal gaming state, probability variation gaming state If the big hit in the probability variation symbol in any of the gaming state, after the end of the big hit game, transition to the probability variation gaming state. Similarly, the normal gaming state is set to be shiftable after the end of the big hit game with the non probability change symbol, and if the big hit with the non probability change symbol in any of the normal gaming state and the probability change gaming state, the big hit game end After that, it shifts to the normal game state.

  After transitioning to the normal gaming state, the fluctuation time of the first special drawing, the second special drawing and the common drawing is shortened by the specified number of times (for example, 100 times), and the open extension function of the general electric utility is activated. It becomes. When the fluctuation time of the first special drawing, the second special drawing, and the common drawing (the time from the fluctuation start to the display of the result) is shortened, the number of times the fluctuation display is performed within a fixed time is increased.

  Specifically, in the time saving state, while shortening the fluctuation time of the first and second special drawings, the time of the common drawing displayed on the common drawing display device 29 is also shortened, but the fluctuation display of this common drawing is shortened By doing this, the fixed display of the common drawing is performed many times within a fixed time. Therefore, the number of times the spread figure hits in a fixed time increases, thereby increasing the number of times the second special figure starting port 24 is opened. Further, since the opening time of the second special view starting opening 24 (general purpose electric utility) is set to be long (opening extension function), a large number of gaming balls are likely to be won. In this way, the number of variable display of the second special figure is further increased by the fact that many game balls are more likely to win, and the balls of the player are held by the prize balls obtained by the winning of the second special figure starting port 24. Is difficult to reduce, and can play an advantageous game.

  In the definite variation gaming state, the fluctuation time of the first special drawing, the second special drawing, and the common drawing is shortened as in the time saving state, and the open extension function of the common utility is activated. The settings related to the shortening of various symbols and the general-purpose electric power release extension function are the same as the time saving state, but the probability change gaming state is further reduced to the time saving state and the big hit probability of the special view is high (a state of big hit) It becomes a game state advantageous to the player.

  The pachinko machine 1 extracts a random number (numerical data) extracted due to entering the first special view starting opening 23 or entering the second special view starting opening 24 into this random number (numerical data) Prior to the success / failure determination based on the above, a prefetch determination is performed to confirm whether or not there is a possibility of a big hit.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 1 according to the result of the pre-reading determination before the 1st special figure or the 2nd special figure which shows the result of yes / no decision is decidedly displayed, the pre-reading advance notice effect which suggests the expectation which becomes big hit Is feasible. For example, the pre-reading advance notice effect displays a symbol different from the normal symbol on display of the suspension display displayed according to the suspension storage of the first special view and the suspension storage of the second special view in the effect symbol display device 21 Indicates the degree of expectation that will be a big hit. Pre-reading advance notice production, when the production is started (when the design which is different from the usual retention design is indicated), passing the plural fluctuation of the special figure, the passing / failing for the random number for which the pre-reading notice production was executed It continues until the fluctuation of the special figure accompanying the determination is started.

  FIG. 5 shows the game specification of the pachinko machine 1. The pachinko machine 1 has a high probability that the winning probability that a big hit game will occur is, for example, 1/300 in the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state) regardless of the first special figure and the second special figure. The game state (probability change game state) is set to "1/30".

Regardless of the first special view and the second special view, the probability change rush rate to shift to the probability change gaming state after the end of the big hit game is set to "65%".
The number of times of probability variation in which the probability variation gaming state is continued is continued until the symbol variation accompanied by the determination of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches "100 times".
The time-shortening state in which the time-shortening state is continued is continued until the symbol variation associated with the determination of whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure reach "100 times".
Next, the winning balls will be described. The winning balls of the first special view starting opening 23 are set to "3" for one entering ball. The winning balls of the second special view starting opening 24 are set to "one" for one entering ball. The number of winning balls of the other winning opening (for example, the general winning opening 27) is set to "10" for one entering ball. The winning balls of the special winning opening 25 are set to "15" per one entering ball.
The specified number of balls in the large winning opening 25 in the big hit game is set to “10”.

The winning probability of the common drawing is set to "one-fifth" in the normal gaming state, and is set to "four-fifth" in the time saving state.
In the normal gaming state, the opening time of the normal motorized role is set to “0.1 second × 1 time”, and is set to “2.2 seconds × 1 time” in the time saving state.

Hereinafter, details of the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described based on program processing executed by the main control device 40, the sub integrated control device 42, and the like.
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the "main routine" executed by main controller 40. "main routine" is composed of main processing (S100 to S110, S115) and remaining processing (S111), and has a 2 ms or 4 ms cycle. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is judged first whether it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the CPU shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is good or not. In the case of a non-normal interrupt, there may be considered a CPU runaway due to power on or noise, etc. However, since it is considered that there is almost no runaway of CPU due to the recent improvement of technology, most are power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.
Here, if a negative determination that the interrupt is not normal (S100: no), the process of S115 is initialized (for example, writing of a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, working of the memory such as making a common drawing and a special drawing an initial symbol) Write each initial value to the area, etc.). The numerical value for determining whether or not the normal interrupt is written to the RAM as part of this initialization.

  When an affirmative determination with a normal interrupt is made in the process of S100 (S100: yes), the initial value random number updating process of S101 is performed. This process is an increment process in which “1” is added each time this process is performed on the value of the initial value random number. Although "1" is added to the value of the initial value random number before this process execution, when the random number before this process is executed is, for example, "299" as the maximum value, "0" which is the initial value in the next process Then, 300 integers from "0" to "299" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

  The subsequent jackpot determination random number update process (S102) is an increment process in which "1" is added each time the process is performed as in the initial value random number update process. In the case of "299" as the maximum value, for example, the processing returns to the initial value "0" in the next processing, and 300 integers from "0" to "299" are repeatedly created in ascending order. The first value of the jackpot determination random number is a value set (created) in the initial value random number update process (S101). Assuming that this value is 150, the jackpot determination random number is updated to “150” “151” “152”... “299” “0” “1”.

  When the jackpot determining random number is cycled (to be updated 300 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is made the initial value of the jackpot determining random number. The jackpot determination random number adds "1" from its initial value. Then, when the jackpot determination random number makes one round, an operation is performed to set the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the jackpot determination random number. That is, this series of operations will be repeated repeatedly. In the above example, since it is one round when the jackpot determination random number is “149”, the next to “149” is the value of the initial value random number. Assuming that the value of the initial random number is "87", "149" "87" "88" ... "299" "0" "1" ... "86" changes to "86". Next to is the value of the new initial value random number.

The following jackpot symbol determination random number updating process (S103) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers of "0" to "9", and when "1" is added and the maximum value is exceeded for each main process Return to the initial value "0".
The subsequent random number update process for hit determination (S104) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers of "0" to "9", and "1" is added for each process to initially exceed the maximum value. Return to "0" which is the value of. The value to be won is always "7". The random number for hit determination is used for the drawing of the common drawing, and the initial value random number, the random number for determining the big hit, the random number for reach determination, the random number for determining the big hit symbol and the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern are used for the drawing of the special figure.

The reach determination random number update process (S105) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers of “0” to “228”, and when “1” is added for each main process and the maximum value is exceeded, the first Return to the value "0".
The variation pattern determination random number update process (S106) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 120 integers from "0" to "119", and adds "1" for each process and initially exceeds the maximum value. Return to "0" which is the value of.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S107), the first special figure starting opening 23, the second special figure starting opening 24 entering the ball (winning) confirmation, the regular drawing operation gate 22 passing of the gaming ball, the general winning opening 27 The ball entry (winning) confirmation and the input processing of each switch connected to the main control device 40 are executed.

In the next success / failure determination processing (S108), processing such as symbol determination or special game processing accompanying the success / failure determination corresponding to the common drawing and the special drawing is performed.
In each subsequent output process (S109), the main control device 40 controls the payout control device 41, the sub integrated control device 42, the effect symbol control device 43, the launch control device 44, the special winning opening solenoid 508, etc. according to the progress of the game. Each output process is executed. That is, when it is detected by the above-mentioned winning confirmation process (S107) that there is a game ball entering each winning opening on the game board, the payout control signal is sent to the payout control device 41 to pay out the gaming ball as a winning ball. Execute the process to send. In addition, processing of outputting the sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub integrated control device 42 is executed. Furthermore, when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine, processing such as outputting an error signal to the rendering symbol control device 43 is executed to notify that the error is occurring.

  The subsequent fraud monitoring process (S110) is a process for monitoring whether or not the regular winning opening 27 is fraudulent. It is a process of determining whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number determined in advance, and determining that the number is incorrect and notifying that effect.

  The residual processing subsequent to the present processing is composed of the initial value random number update processing of S111, but is the same processing as the S101. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeatedly executed as long as time permits until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the main processing from S100 to S111 differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not the big hit processing is to be performed, the display mode of the special view, and the like. As a result, the number of times the residual process is executed is also different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number by the execution of the interrupt process once is not uniform. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number will be synchronized with the jackpot determination random number will be extremely small. Assuming that the values of the initial value random numbers (300 of 0 to 299) occur in the same degree when the big hit determination random number makes one round, the synchronization probability is only 300 times smaller. Further, the hit determination random number updating process (S104) may also be executed in the remaining process.

Next, some subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S107), the success / failure determination process (S108), and each output process (S109) which are closely related to the present invention will be described.
The “special figure start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 7 includes various random numbers such as a big hit determination random number extracted when the game ball enters the first special figure start opening 23 and the second special view start opening 24. , And stored in the main control unit 40 as pending storage. And it becomes processing which transmits various commands resulting from entering the ball to the first special view start opening 23 and the second special view start opening 24 to the sub integrated control unit 42. In the present embodiment, the number of pending storages that can be stored due to entering the first special view starting opening 23 and the number of pending storages that can be stored due to entering the second special view starting opening 24 are each There are four.

  In the "special figure start winning confirmation process", first, it is determined whether or not entering of the first special figure start aperture 23 has been detected by the first special figure start aperture SW 503 (S200). If there is no ball entry (S200: no), the process proceeds to S205. The processing is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the main control unit 40. If there is a ball entry to the first special view starting opening 23 (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether the number of pending storages of the first special view stored in the main control device 40 in the process of S201 is full. (Check if the upper limit has been reached). If it is full (S201: yes), the process proceeds to S205.

  If the reserve memory of the first special figure is not full (S201: no), in the process of S202, the random number for the big hit determination of the first special figure, the random number for big hit design determination, the random number for reach determination, the random number for fluctuation pattern determination etc Extract The various random numbers extracted are stored in a predetermined storage area of main controller 40. Further, the random number stored in the predetermined storage area is stored as a pending storage in the pending storage area of main controller 40. In addition, even if the number of pending storages of the first special figure is 0, various random numbers such as the equivalence number extracted when the game ball enters the first special figure starting opening 23, the number of memory less than the maximum value Is stored as if there were The process of S202 corresponds to "numerical data extraction means" and "pending storage means" described in the claims.

Subsequently, pre-reading determination processing of the first special drawing is executed (S203). In the pre-reading determination process, it is confirmed whether the jackpot determination random number or the jackpot symbol determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area is a specific numerical value before the success or failure determination of whether it is a big hit is performed . For example, whether it is a number determined to be a big hit, a number determined to be a super reach or reach, etc. as a specific numeric value, and if it is a big hit, it is a definite variation big hit or not, a large number of rounds It is confirmed whether or not. Further, in the present processing, a prefetch command indicating the determination result of the prefetch determination of the first special drawing is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. This process corresponds to the "numerical data confirmation means" described in the claims. Thereafter, the pending storage counter indicating the pending storage number is added, and the pending number indicating command indicating the value of the pending storage counter of the first special view added is sent to the sub integrated control apparatus 42 (S204).
The prefetch command is preferably transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 when there is a possibility such as a big hit or a reach. Of course, regardless of the content of the determination, the pre-read command may be transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 42 each time.

  Subsequently, in the process of S205, it is determined whether or not the entry into the second special view start opening 24 is detected by the second special view start opening SW504. If there is no ball entry (S205: no), this processing is ended and the processing returns to the main routine of the main control device 40. If there is a ball entry to the second special view starting opening 24 (S205: yes), it is confirmed whether the number of pending storages of the second special view stored in the main control device 40 in the process of S206 is full. (Check if the upper limit has been reached). If it is full (S206: yes), it returns.

  If the reserve memory of the second special figure is not full (S206: no), in the process of S207, the random number for the big hit determination of the second special figure, the random number for the big hit design determination, the random number for reach determination, the random number for fluctuation pattern determination, etc. Extract The various random numbers extracted are stored in a predetermined storage area of main controller 40. Further, the random number stored in the predetermined storage area is stored as a pending storage in the pending storage area of main controller 40. In addition, even if the number of pending storages of the second special figure is 0, various random numbers such as the success or failure random number extracted when the game ball enters the second special figure starting opening 24, the number of memory less than the maximum value Is stored as if there were The process of S207 corresponds to "numerical data extraction means" and "pending storage means" described in the claims.

Subsequently, pre-reading determination processing of the second special view is executed (S208). In the pre-reading determination process, it is confirmed whether the jackpot determination random number or the jackpot symbol determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area is a specific numerical value before the success or failure determination of whether it is a big hit is performed . For example, whether it is a number determined to be a big hit, a number determined to be a super reach or reach, etc. as a specific numeric value, and if it is a big hit, it is a definite variation big hit or not, a large number of rounds It is confirmed whether or not. Further, in the present processing, a prefetch command indicating the determination result of the prefetch determination of the second special drawing is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 42. This process corresponds to the "numerical data confirmation means" described in the claims. Thereafter, the pending storage counter indicating the pending storage number is added, and the pending number indicating command indicating the value of the pending storage counter of the first special view added is sent to the sub integrated control apparatus 42 (S209).
The prefetch command is preferably transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 when there is a possibility such as a big hit or a reach.

In this "special figure start winning confirmation process", if the number of pending storage is full, the extracted random number is stored in a predetermined storage area set in advance, and then the random number stored in the predetermined storage area is suspended The configuration is to store in the storage area. The present invention is not limited to this. If the number of pending storages is not full, the extracted random numbers may be stored in a predetermined storage area and a pending storage area. Furthermore, when a random number is extracted due to entering the first special drawing start opening 23 or the second special drawing start opening 24, the extracted random number is stored in a predetermined storage area. Then, whether or not the number of pending storages is full is checked. If the number is not full, random numbers stored in a predetermined storage area may be stored in the pending storage area. In this case, if the number of pending storages is full, the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area are deleted.
In the “special figure start winning confirmation process”, the prefetching determination process pre-reads and determines the random numbers stored in the predetermined storage area, but is not limited to this, and pre-reads and determines the random numbers stored in the pending storage area May be

  FIG. 8 to FIG. 11 show a flowchart of the “special-design yes / no decision processing”. In this process, the first special figure's yes / no decision and the second special figure's yes / no decision are executed separately, and when there is a second special figure's pending storage, the second special figure's yes or no decision is given priority. . In the following description, although the determination of whether the first special drawing and the second special drawing are substantially the same, the two are distinguished if necessary, but otherwise the first special drawing and the second special drawing are distinguished. It is simply referred to as "special drawing" without doing.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the "special drawing suitability determination process", first, the non-operation of the special motorized combination is confirmed to determine whether or not a big hit is in progress (S300). If the special motorized role is in operation (S300: no), the processing shifts to "special game processing" (see FIG. 9). If the special electric combination is not in operation and is not in the big hit game (S300: yes), it is determined whether the first special figure or the second special figure is in the cessation of fluctuation (S301). If the variable stop is in progress (S301: yes), it is determined whether the final symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is not displayed (S302).

  If the final symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure is not displayed in the process of S302 (S302: yes), it is determined whether there is a pending storage of the second special figure (S303). If there is the pending storage of the second special view (S303: yes), the pending storage number of the second special view is subtracted, and shift processing of the pending storage is performed (S304). By the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the second special view is subjected to the pass / fail determination.

If there is no reserve storage of the second special figure in the process of S303 (S303: no), it is determined whether there is a reserve storage of the first special figure (S305). If there is the pending storage of the first special view (S305: yes), the pending storage number of the first special view is subtracted, and shift processing of the pending storage is performed (S306). By the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among the pending storages of the first special view is subjected to the pass / fail determination.
If there is no hold storage of the first special view (S305: no), the processing shifts to "special game processing".

Subsequent to the process of S304 or the process of S306, in the process of S310 shown in FIG. 9, the probability change flag is checked to determine whether the current gaming state is the probability change gaming state of the special view. If it is in the definite variation (S310: yes), the determination is performed by comparing the success / failure determination table in the positive variation with the jackpot determination random number to be the target of the determination (S311).
If it is not definite in the process of S310 (S310: no), the determination is performed by comparing the success / failure determination table with the normal probability and the jackpot determination random number to be the object of the success / failure determination (S312).

Subsequently, in the process of S313, it is determined whether the success or failure of the process of S311 or S312 is a big hit. It corresponds to the "qualification decision means" described in the claims.
If it is a big hit (S313: yes), in the process of S314, a big hit symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol determination random number to be the object of the determination of the above-mentioned acceptance or rejection.
Subsequently, a variation pattern such as a variation time of the big hit symbol of the special figure is determined based on the variation pattern determination random number to be the object of the determination of success or absence (S315).

  After determining the fluctuation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed (S316). In this process, based on the determined jackpot symbol, for example, the contents of the jackpot game such as whether to make the 10R probability variation jackpot game, the 8R probability variation jackpot game, or the 5R regular jackpot game, big hit game end The transition to a later probability change game or transition to a short time, the setting of the time of the big hit start effect of the big hit game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the big hit end effect, etc. are made.

  In the process of S313, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S313: no), a variation pattern such as a fluctuation time of the lost symbol of the special figure is determined in the process of S317. Next, a loss setting process is performed (S318).

After the process of S316 or the process of S318, a process of transmitting information of the pending storage after the success or failure determination (for example, information indicating a decrease in the pending storage after performing the success or failure determination) to the sub integrated control device 42 is performed (S319) ).
In the subsequent processing of S320, the first special view display device 28A or the second special view display device 28B is controlled to start changing the symbol, and the sub integrated control device 42 transmits the change start command of the symbol and the symbol specification command. Move to “Process”. The fluctuation start command and the symbol designation command include the fluctuation pattern of the special drawing, the determination result of the success / failure judgment of the special drawing, and the like. Depending on the configuration, a symbol determination command may be sent to instruct the end of the fluctuation time. However, since the fluctuation time is designated in advance by the fluctuation pattern or the like, it is not essential.

  When the special figure is fluctuating in the process of S301 in FIG. 8 (S301: no), as shown in FIG. 10, when the fluctuation time of the symbol passes (S330: yes), in the finalized symbol display processing of S331, Control is performed to end variable display of the special view of the first special view display device 28A or the second special view display device 28B. After that, it shifts to "special game processing".

If the final symbol of the special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 in FIG. 8 (S302: no), the process proceeds to the processing of S340 in FIG. 11, and it is determined whether or not the final symbol display time has ended. If the determined symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the processing proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, if the finalized symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), the finalized symbol display of the first special view display device 28A or the second special view display device 28B is executed by the process of the finalized symbol display end of S341. Control to end is performed, and a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 so as to end the finalized display of the pseudo rendering symbol corresponding to the special drawing.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the symbol of the special figure is a combination that makes a big hit (S342), and when it is a combination that makes a big hit (S342: yes), a probability change flag indicating a probability change gaming state is "1" If there is (S343: yes), the positive change flag is reset to "0" (S344). Subsequently, if the time saving flag indicating the time saving state is "1" (S345: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S346). By these processes, the gaming state related to the probability change state and the time saving state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

  Subsequently, the operation of the condition device is started (S347). In addition, the condition device is operated by the success or failure judgment of the special view being a big hit and the big hit symbol is determined and displayed, and the big hit game start condition is satisfied, and the big hit game is operated to operate the continuous action device. It is a necessary device. Further, the operation of the bonus game continuous actuation device is started (S348), and the jackpot start effect process is performed (S349), and the process shifts to "special game process". Also, by this processing, a big hit game start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42.

If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S342 (S342: no), it is determined whether the probability change flag is "1" (S350), and if the probability change flag is "1" (S350: yes) In the process of S 351, the probability variation counter that counts the duration of the probability variation state is subtracted, and it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter after the subtraction is “0”. If the probability change counter is "0" (S351: yes), the probability change flag is reset to "0" (S352).
Next, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is "1" (S353), and if the time saving flag is "1" (S353: yes), the time short counter for counting the time short duration is subtracted in the process of S354. Then, it is determined whether or not the time saving counter after the subtraction is "0". If the time saving counter is "0" (S354: yes), the time saving flag is reset to "0" (S355).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information on the probability change flag indicating the gaming state, the time saving flag, etc. is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. After that, it shifts to "special game processing".

In the "special game process" shown in FIG. 12, first, it is confirmed whether or not the above-mentioned bonus continuous actuation device is in operation (S400). If it is in operation (S400: yes), the winning opening in the process of S401. Check if 25 is open. If the gift continuous actuator is not in operation (S400: no), the process returns.
If the big winning opening 25 is not open in the process of S401 (S401: no), it is confirmed in the process of S402 whether it is in the interval of the big hit game or not in the interval (S402: no), S403 Check whether special view big hit end production is in process by processing, if it is not during big hit end production (S403: no), check whether big hit start production time has passed in processing of S404, big hit start production time (S404: yes), the large winning opening 25 of the first round is opened in the large winning opening opening process, and the process returns (S405).

  If the special winning opening is open in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, confirmation (S410) of whether or not the special winning opening 25 has 10 winnings (prescribed number of winnings), Or, check whether the opening time of the big winning opening 25 has ended (S411), if any can be confirmed, the big winning opening 25 is closed (S412), the big hit interval process is executed (S413), and the return is made .

If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S402 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is checked whether the big hit interval time has elapsed (S420), and if it has passed (S420: yes) ), The final round in the process of S421 (for example, if it is the fifth round if it is a big hit game of 5 rounds, the 8th round if it is a big hit game of 8 rounds, it is the 10th round if it is a big hit game of 10 rounds) If it is the final round, (S421: yes), the processing of the big hit end production of S422 is executed, with this processing the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the production design control device 43 Finish the big hit game and return.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S421: no), the opening process of the big winning opening 25 of the next round is executed by the opening process of the big winning opening 25 of S423, and the process returns.

  If the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S403 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S430), and the progress of the time is confirmed (S430: yes), the process of stopping the operation of the continuous product actuating device of S431 is executed, and then the process of stopping the operation of the condition device is executed (S432).

Subsequently, in the process of S433, it is confirmed whether or not there is a setting to make a definite change after the end of the big hit according to the big hit symbol, and if there is a setting of a definite change (S433: yes), repeat the definite change gaming state in the process of S434. The number of times (100 times) is set, and the probability change flag is set to “1” in the process of S435. As a result, a probability change gaming state is provided after the end of the big hit game.
Next, in the process of S436, whether or not there is a time saving setting is confirmed according to the big hit symbol, and if there is a time saving setting (S436: yes), the number of repetitions of time saving state (100 times) is set (S437) The time saving flag is set to "1" (S438). As a result, time saving status is given after the end of the big hit game. After that, the process (S439) of the big hit end command transmission of the special figure is executed, the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control unit 42 and the effect symbol control unit 43 by this process, the big hit game is ended and it returns.

  Next, the “first execution start condition process A” and the “second execution start condition process A” will be described based on FIG. 16 and FIG. The “first execution start condition process A” and the “second execution start condition process A” are subroutines executed by the sub integrated control device 42.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the “first execution start condition process A”, first, it is checked whether or not the pre-reading determination signal (pre-reading command) has been received from the main control device 40 (S500). If the preread command has not been received (S500: no), the process returns to the main routine (not shown) executed by the sub integrated control device 42, and this process ends.
If the prefetch command is received (S500: yes), in the process of S501, it is determined whether the determination content of the prefetch command is predetermined determination content such as a big hit, super reach, reach, or the like. It is desirable that the judgment content of the pre-read command be stored in a predetermined storage area of the sub integrated control device 42 until the change of the pending storage is completed.
If the determination is negative (S501: no), the process returns.
If it is affirmation determination (S501: yes), in the process of S502, at the time of entering the special figure starting opening of pending storage where the received prefetch command is triggered, it is determined whether the special figure is changing or not . If it is in change (S502: yes), the contents of change in the special figure in change are referred to in the process of S503.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the content of the change is "normal loss change" in which the reach is not performed (S504). If it is affirmation determination (S504: yes), the pre-reading advance notice production of pending storage corresponding to the pre-reading command received in processing of S505 is performed. Then return. In the present process, the sub integrated control device 42 transmits a command related to the execution of the advance notice effect to the effect symbol control device 43, whereby the effect is displayed in the effect symbol display device 21.

  "First execution start condition processing A", there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23 or the second special figure starting port 24 during the normal loss change of the first special figure or the second special figure If the content (result) of the pre-reading determination of the pending storage caused by the ball is a predetermined determination content, the first execution start condition is satisfied, and pre-reading advance notice effect is executed. Pre-reading advance notice effect performed by satisfaction of the 1st execution start condition is started at the time of starting opening entrance ball into the 1st special figure starting opening 23 or the 2nd special figure starting opening 24.

  If the special drawing is not in the process of S502 (S502: no), or if the process of S504 is not the “normal loss change” (S502: no), the first condition failure flag is set in the process of S506. Set "1". Then return.

  Note that “first execution start condition processing A” executes processing in the order of the determination of the prefetch determination signal, the determination of the determination content, the determination during special feature fluctuation, and the determination of fluctuation content, but is not limited thereto. The determination order may be changed. For example, the configuration may be configured such that the determination during the special figure variation and the determination of the variation content are performed first, and the determination of the prefetch determination signal and the determination content are performed next. In this way, it is sufficient to judge the prefetch command only at the time of the change that enables the preview advance notice effect. However, in the case where a plurality of types of prefetch advance notice effects are provided, etc., it is not used only for the prefetch advance notice effects of the present case, so it is preferable to first determine the prefetch command. It may be appropriately selected depending on what kind of pre-reading preview effect is provided and what kind of fluctuation content is provided.

  Following the "first execution start condition process A", the "second execution start condition process A" is executed. As shown in FIG. 17, “second execution start condition processing A” first receives a special figure fluctuation start command (variation start signal) of the first special figure or the second special figure from main controller 40. It is determined (S600). That is, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction from the main controller 40 to change the pseudo rendering symbol of the first special view or the second special view. If a negative determination is made (S600: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42, and this process ends.

If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S600 (S600: yes), it is determined in the process of S601 whether or not the first condition failure flag is "1". If the determination is negative (S601: no), the process returns.
If the determination is positive (S601: yes), in the process of S602, the number of pending storages in the first and second special views is "two or more" (corresponding to "predetermined number of storages" described in the claims) To determine whether or not It is desirable to set the predetermined storage number to “two”. For example, if the pending storage is “two” or more, it is possible to continuously perform previewing notice effects using the pending display across a plurality of changes.
The predetermined storage number may be "one" or more. In this case, the pre-reading advance notice effect can be set as a continuous effect, since it is possible to produce the effect using the hold display before the pass / fail judgment and the effect (effect not using the hold display) at the time of change due to the pass / fail judgment of the hold memory. it can.
If a negative determination is made in the process of S602 (S602: no), the process returns.

  If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S602 (S602: yes), the first condition non-establishment flag is reset to "0" in the process of S603. Subsequently, pre-reading advance notice effect is executed (S604). In the present process, the sub integrated control device 42 transmits a command related to the execution of the advance notice effect to the effect symbol control device 43, whereby the effect is displayed in the effect symbol display device 21. Then return.

  In the “second execution start condition process A”, the content (result) of the predetermination determination of the pending storage due to the ball entering the first special view starting port 23 or the second special view starting port 24 is a predetermined determination content However, if the first execution start condition is not satisfied, the second execution start condition is satisfied if the number of pending storages is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of memories at the start of the change of the new first special figure or second special figure. And perform preview advance presentation effects. Pre-reading advance notice production performed by establishment of the 2nd execution start condition is started at the time of the change start of the 1st special figure or the 2nd special figure.

  The “second execution start condition process A” executes the process in the order of the determination of the variation start signal, the determination of the first condition non-establishment flag, and the determination of the number of pending storages. You may change it. For example, after the determination of the fluctuation start signal, the determination of the number of pending storages may be performed, and then the first condition non-establishment flag determination may be performed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, representative examples of display modes of pseudo-rendering using the pseudo-rendering symbol executed by the rendering-symbol display device 21 and pre-read advance announcement rendering will be described.
FIG. 18A shows a typical display mode of a normal pseudo-rendering effect in which the pre-reading preview effect is not performed. In the pseudo effect, a pseudo effect pattern 701 consisting of a three-digit number symbol is variably displayed on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21. In addition, a "bear's datsuyoshi" 730, which is a character of the pachinko machine 1, is displayed.

  Furthermore, on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21, a first hold display 710 indicating the number of held storages of the first special view is displayed on the left side of the lower end, and the number of held storages of the second special view is displayed on the right of the lower end A second hold display 720 is displayed. For example, the first holding display 710 displays a holding symbol made up of the same number of circles (white circles in the illustrated example) as the number of holding memories in the first special view. For example, the second holding display 720 displays a holding symbol consisting of the same number of squares (white squares in the illustrated example) as the number of holding memories in the second special view. In the example of the figure, it is indicated that there are two pending storages of the first special figure during the fluctuation of the special figure. Also, the pending storage of the second special view is not stored, and the second pending display 720 is indicated by a broken line.

FIG. 18 (b) shows an example of pre-reading advance notice effect when the first execution start condition is satisfied.
When the gaming ball enters the first special view starting opening 23 during the fluctuation of FIG. 18A, as shown in FIG. 18B, the first storage display 710 displays a third storage memory. A holding symbol 713 shown is additionally displayed. Furthermore, the third reserved symbol 713 corresponding to the third reserved memory is that the third reserved memory is a predetermined judgment content that there is a possibility of a big hit, a super reach or a reach by the prefetch determination. Is a preview symbol having a possibility of a big hit, a super reach or a reach, and a hold symbol consisting of a circle (in the example of the drawing, a black circle) different from the normal hold symbol is displayed. As described above, the previewed advance notice effect design by the establishment of the first execution start condition corresponds to the retention storage due to the entering ball after entering the first special drawing starting port 23 or the second special drawing starting port 24. It is displayed at the timing (at the time of starting opening ball entering) when the reserved symbol is displayed.

  Although it is not illustrated, during the fluctuation of FIG. 18 (a), the gaming ball enters the second special view starting opening 24 and further it is determined that there is a possibility of a big hit, super reach or reach by the pre-reading judgment. And, on the second holding display 720, a holding symbol indicating the first holding storage is displayed. In this case, the holding symbol is displayed as a square-shaped holding symbol different from the normal holding symbol as a pre-reading advance notice effect symbol having a possibility of a big hit, super reach or reach.

  FIG. 18C shows an example where the first execution start condition is not satisfied, and no advance notice effect is performed. In the illustrated example, during the reach effect of the first special view or the second special view, the game ball enters the first special view starting opening 23 and the holding symbol indicating the third reserved memory of the first special view is displayed. Indicates the added state. In this case, even if it is determined that there is a possibility of a big hit, a super reach or a reach by the pre-reading determination, the third reserved memory of the first special figure enters the first special figure starting opening 23 during reach production. Since it is a ball, no pre-reading advance notice effect is performed, and a holding symbol indicating a third holding memory is a normal holding symbol.

FIG. 19A shows an example of pre-reading advance notice effect when the second execution start condition is satisfied. In the example shown in FIG. 18 (c), the first special drawing is changed after the special drawing change of the reach effect is finished, from the state where the first execution start condition is not satisfied and the advance notice effect is not performed. Indicates a state in which the In this case, the new change will digest the oldest pending memory. As a result, since two pending storages are made, two pending symbols are displayed in the first pending display 710. And since the second reserve memory is a big hit when entering the first special figure starting opening 23 during the previous swing, and a predetermined prefetch determination that there is a possibility of super reach or reach, Due to the establishment of the second execution start condition, a reserved symbol 712 consisting of a circle (black circle in the figure example) different from the normal reserved symbol is displayed as a pre-reading advance notice effect symbol. As described above, the timing of the new special drawing variation being started after entering the first special drawing starting port 23 or the second special drawing starting port 24 with the advance notice notification design pattern based on the establishment of the second execution start condition. It is displayed at (the start of fluctuation).
In the example shown in FIG. 18B and FIG. 19A, the reserved symbol (713 in FIG. 18B) of the prefetching notice effect of the first execution start condition and the prefetch notice of the second execution start condition Although the holding symbol (712 of FIG. 19 (a)) of production was made the same symbol, it is not restricted to this. For example, the holding symbol of the preliminary notice effect of the first execution start condition and the holding symbol of the preliminary notice effect of the second execution start condition may be different from each other. In the case of the same symbol, even if the execution timing is different, it is treated as the same pre-read advance notice effect, and it is possible to show the expectation to the big hit with a uniform effect. In the case of a different pattern, the effect is more exhibited by using a configuration in which the degree of expectation to the big hit is different depending on the difference in execution timing.

  In addition, as a pre-reading advance notice production pattern, it is desirable to constitute with a plurality of kinds a reservation symbol different from a usual reservation symbol. For example, it is desirable to distinguish between a high expectation symbol with a big hit, a high expectation symbol with a super reach, and a high expectation symbol with a normal reach. Furthermore, you may provide the high expectation pattern with a high expectation which becomes a probability variation big hit, and the high expectation pattern with which the number of rounds becomes the longest.

  On the other hand, pre-reading advance notice production is not limited to the composition which uses the reservation design which shows reservation memory. As another advance notice effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 19B, a story effect (a fighting scene of a karate home in the illustrated example) as short as about 10 seconds may be inserted while the special figure changes. In the narrative production, the same story may be continuously inserted across a plurality of fluctuations during a period in which there is a pending storage for which a predetermined hit determination has been made if there is a possibility of a big hit, super reach or reach in the pending memory. Desirable (continuous story preview). It should be noted that this type of pre-reading advance notice effect does not indicate which reserved memory can be expected to be a big hit, unlike the configuration using the reserved symbol.

  Furthermore, as another preliminary presentation effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 19C, the character “bear's tatsukichi” displayed during the movement of the special figure is changed to “smile's bear tatsukichi” 731 different from normal. It may be changed. It should be noted that this type of pre-reading advance notice effect does not indicate which reserved memory can be expected to be a big hit, as in the configuration using a story.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, when determining whether or not the first execution start condition is established, it is determined whether or not preview advance notice effect has already been executed for the previous pending storage, and executed If it is, the first execution start condition may not be established. In this case, the first condition failure flag is set to "1". According to this, when the second execution start condition is satisfied, it is possible to execute preview advance notice effect.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the first execution start condition is not satisfied, the prefetch execution notice effect can be executed by the second execution start condition being satisfied, but the first execution condition is satisfied or not satisfied. Regardless of the above, the pre-read advance notice effect may be executed by the establishment of the second execution start condition. In this case, when it is determined whether or not the second execution start condition is satisfied, if there is a hold storage greater than or equal to a predetermined number and the prefetch determination content is a predetermined determination content, the prefetch advance notice effect is executed You may

  The pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment has numerical data extraction means (FIG. 7: S202, S207) for extracting numerical data due to the game ball entering the starting opening (FIG. 2: 23, 24). A plurality of hold storage means (FIG. 7: S202, S207) capable of storing a plurality of numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means as a hold storage (FIG. 7: S202, S207) and a special special advantageous to the player based on the numerical data stored in the hold storage means The success / failure decision means [Fig. 2: S313] which executes the success or failure judgment of whether to shift to the game and the special symbol showing the result of the success / failure decision are variably displayed, and the special symbol is confirmed later and the result is notified. Numerical data confirmation means [Fig. 7: The contents of numerical data extracted by the symbol display device [Fig. 2: 28A, 28B] and the numerical data extraction means are confirmed prior to the pass / fail judgment based on the numerical data. 203, S208], and when the confirmation result confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means is a predetermined confirmation result, the advance notice to perform the advance notice to suggest the degree of expectation to shift to the special game of the confirmed numerical data Control means [FIG. 16: S505, FIG. 17: S604], and the preview advance notice effect control means is the first execution start condition that the player entered the starting opening during the change of the special symbol according to the predetermined change mode. As the pre-read advance notice effect of the numerical data extracted due to the entering ball can be started, or after entering the start opening, the pre-read notice effect is started under the first execution start condition If not, at the start of the new special symbol variation, the prefetching notice of the numerical data extracted due to the above-mentioned entering as the second execution start condition that the number of reserved memories is equal to or more than the predetermined number of memories Out and the possible start.

  According to the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, the random number extracted after entering the first special figure starting port 23 or the second special figure starting port 24 during the special figure change of the loss where the reach effect is not performed If there is a possibility of a big hit or reach due to the pre-reading determination, it is determined that the first execution start condition is established, and pre-reading advance notice effect is executed. On the other hand, even if the first execution start condition is not satisfied, special drawing fluctuation is newly started, and there is one or more pending storages for which the pass / fail judgment has not been processed. If there is a possibility, it is determined that the second execution start condition is satisfied, and the prefetch advance notice effect is executed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the frequency of execution of the pre-reading preview effect, and it is possible to fully utilize the pre-reading preview effect. Therefore, it is a rich configuration of interest that preview advance notice effects are frequently performed and the expectation of the player can be heightened.

Second Embodiment
A pachinko machine according to a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.
In the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, even if it is determined that the result of the pre-reading determination is a big hit, if the first execution start condition and the second execution start condition are not satisfied either, the pre-reading notice effect is performed. Absent. Therefore, the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is configured to be able to execute prefetch advance notice effects even if the first execution start condition and the second execution start condition are not satisfied because the result of the prefetch determination is a big hit. To make it possible to use it more colorfully. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.

  In the pachinko machine, “the first execution start condition process A” (FIG. 16) is executed in the sub integrated control device 42 as in the first embodiment. Subsequently, the “second execution start condition process B” shown in FIG. 20 is executed to control the preview advance notice effect. In this process, first, it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation start command (variation start signal) of the first special figure or the second special figure is received (S610). If a negative determination is made (S610: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42, and this process ends.

If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S610 (S610: yes), it is determined in the process of S611 whether the first condition failure flag is "1". If the determination is negative (S611: no), the process returns.
If the determination is affirmative (S611: yes), it is determined in the process of S612 whether or not the number of pending storages of the first special figure and the second special figure is "two" or more. If the determination is affirmative (S612: yes), the first condition non-establishment flag is reset to “0” in the process of S613. Subsequently, pre-reading advance notice effect is executed (S614). In the present process, the sub integrated control device 42 transmits a command related to the execution of the advance notice effect to the effect symbol control device 43, whereby the effect is displayed in the effect symbol display device 21. Then return.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of S612 (S612: no), the first condition non-establishment flag is reset to “0” in the process of S615. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the result of the pre-reading determination is a big hit (S616). If the determination is negative (S616: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S616: yes), special pre-reading advance notice effect is executed (S617). In the present process, the sub integrated control device 42 transmits a command related to the execution of the special pre-reading advance notice effect to the effect symbol control device 43, whereby an effect is performed in the effect symbol display device 21. Then return.

As described above, the pachinko machine executes the normal pre-reading advance notice effect when the first execution start condition or the second execution start condition is satisfied, and executes the special pre-reading advance notice effect when these conditions are not satisfied. If neither the first execution start condition nor the second execution start condition is satisfied, there is no pending storage other than the one being changed. Therefore, the special pre-read advance notice effect is an effect of giving an advance notice indicating an expectation of becoming a big hit of the pending storage that changes based on the pass / fail judgment.
In the special pre-reading advance notice effect, as shown in FIG. 21, a special pre-reading pattern 750 is displayed at the center of the lower end on the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21. The special pre-reading symbol 750 uses a symbol different from the holding symbol of the first holding indicator 710 and the second holding indicator 720 (a star symbol in the illustrated example).
The special pre-reading effect may be displayed while the special drawing is fluctuating, and may be configured to use a during fluctuation symbol indicating whether it is the fluctuation of the first special drawing or the fluctuation of the second special drawing. Furthermore, it is desirable to change to the special pre-reading pattern 750 when the condition of the special pre-reading effect is satisfied. Note that the special pre-reading effect may be considered as pre-reading effect because it is displayed in advance during the change of the pending storage to be the pre-reading object. However, the special pre-reading effect belongs to the pre-reading advance effect because the start cause is based on the judgment of the pre-reading command. Of course, as a normal notice, a configuration may be considered in which it is processed as a notice effect starting on the condition that the advance notice effect is not performed at the start of the change.
Furthermore, the special pre-reading advance notice effect may have a configuration in which the story effect (see FIG. 19B) for a short time of about 10 seconds is inserted while the special figure changes. In addition, the “bear's daichi” of the character displayed during the change of the special figure may be changed to “smile's bear's datsuki” (see FIG. 19C) different from normal.

  The pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is provided with prefetch advance notice effect control means [FIG. 16: S505, FIG. 20: S614]. The prefetch advance notice effect control means performs the first execution start condition and the second execution condition when the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means [FIG. 7: S203, S208] is a specific confirmation result (big hit). When no start condition is established, it is possible to execute special pre-reading advance notice effect.

  According to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, even if the first execution start condition and the second execution start condition are not satisfied, the special prefetch notice effect is performed when the result of the pre-reading determination is a big hit. Therefore, it is possible to make use of the pre-reading judgment, and to increase the frequency of execution of the notice effect.

  In the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the “second execution start condition process B” executes the process in the order of the determination of the variation start signal, the determination of the first condition non-establishment flag, and the determination of the number of pending storages. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination order may be changed. For example, the configuration may be configured such that the determination during the special figure variation and the determination of the variation content are performed first, and the determination of the prefetch determination signal and the determination content are performed next.

Third Embodiment
A pachinko machine according to a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machine of the third embodiment does not execute the advance notice effect even if the first execution start condition is satisfied when the judgment content of the pre-reading judgment is a big hit (specific confirmation result), and the second execution start The pre-read advance notice effect can be started when the condition is satisfied. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.

In the pachinko machine of the third embodiment, the "first execution start condition process C" shown in FIG. 22 is executed in the sub integrated control device 42, and control of preview advance notice effect is performed. In this processing, first, it is checked whether or not the pre-reading determination signal (pre-reading command) has been received from the main control device 40 (S520). If the preread command has not been received (S520: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42, and this process ends.
If the prefetch command is received (S520: yes), in the process of S521, it is determined whether or not the determination content of the prefetch command is predetermined determination content such as a big hit, super reach, reach or the like. It is desirable that the judgment content of the pre-read command be stored in a predetermined storage area of the sub integrated control device 42 until the change of the pending storage is completed.
In the process of S521, if the determination is negative (S521: no), the process returns. If it is affirmation determination (S521: yes), at the process of S522, it is determined whether the special figure is changing or not at the time of entering the special figure starting opening of the pending storage where the received prefetch command is triggered . If it is in change (S522: yes), the content of the change in the special figure in change is referred to in the process of S523.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the content of the change is the “normal loss change” in which the reach is not performed (S524). If the determination is positive (S524: yes), it is determined whether the determination content of the prefetch command received in the process of S525 is the specific determination content to be a big hit. If a negative determination is made (S 524: yes), in the process of S 527, pre-reading advance notice effect with predetermined determination content corresponding to the received pre-reading command is executed. Then return.

If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S525 (S525: yes), in the process of S526, it is determined whether or not to execute preview advance notice effect with a specific determination content. In this case, for example, it is desirable that the random number be extracted and it is determined whether or not the advance notice advance effect is to be executed by the lottery using the random number.
If it is affirmation determination in the process of said S526 (S526: yes), the pre-reading advance notice production in a specific determination content will be performed in the process of said S526. Then return.
On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in the process of S526 (S526: no), in the process of S528, "1" is set in the specific determination flag indicating that the prefetch advance notice effect with the specific determination content is not executed. . Then return.

  If the special drawing is not in the process of S522 (S522: no), or if the process of S524 is not the “normal loss change” (S523: no), the first condition failure flag is set in the process of S529. Set "1". Then return.

In the “first execution start condition processing C”, the game ball enters the first special view start opening 23 or the second special view start opening 24 during the normal loss change of the first special view or the second special view, If the content (result) of the pre-reading determination of pending storage resulting from entering the ball is the determination content of super reach or reach other than the big hit, the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed. In this case, the advance notice effect is started immediately after entering the first special view start opening 23 or the second special view start opening 24.
On the other hand, when the determination content is a big hit, it is possible not to execute pre-reading advance notice effect.

  The “first execution start condition process C” executes the process in the order of the judgment of the pre-reading judgment signal, the judgment of the judgment contents, the judgment during special feature fluctuation, and the judgment of fluctuation contents, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The order of determination may be changed.

  Following the "first execution start condition processing C", the "second execution start condition processing C" is executed. As shown in FIG. 23, the “second execution start condition process C” first receives a special figure fluctuation start command (variation start signal) of the first special figure or the second special figure from the main control device 40 or not. It is determined (S620). That is, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction from the main controller 40 to change the pseudo rendering symbol of the first special view or the second special view. If a negative determination is made (S620: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42, and this process ends.

If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S620 (S620: yes), it is determined in the process of S621 whether the first condition non-establishment flag is "1". If the determination is affirmative (S621: yes), it is determined in the process of S623 whether or not the number of pending storages of the first special figure and the second special figure is "two" or more. If the determination is negative (S623: no), the process returns.
If the determination is affirmative (S623: yes), the first condition non-establishment flag is reset to “0” in the process of S624. Subsequently, the specific determination flag is reset to “0” (S625). Then, preview advance notice effect with predetermined determination content is executed (S 626). Then return.

If the determination in step S621 is negative (S621: no), it is determined in step S622 whether the specific determination flag is "1". If the determination is negative (S 622: no), the process returns.
If the determination is positive (S622: yes), it is determined in the process of S623 whether or not the number of pending storages of the first special figure and the second special figure is "two" or more. If the determination is affirmative (S623: yes), the first condition non-establishment flag is reset to “0” in the process of S624. Subsequently, the specific determination flag is reset to “0” (S625). Then, pre-reading advance notice effect with a specific determination content is executed (S626). Then return.

In the “second execution start condition process C”, the content (result) of the predetermination determination of the pending storage due to the ball entering the first special drawing starting port 23 or the second special drawing starting port 24 is a predetermined determination content However, when the first execution start condition is not satisfied, when the number of pending storages is equal to or more than the predetermined number at the start of the change of the new first special figure or the second special figure, the prefetch notice effect is executed. In this case, the pre-reading advance notice effect is started at the start of fluctuation of the first special figure or the second special figure.
On the other hand, the judgment content based on the pre-reading judgment of the pending memory is a big hit (specific judgment content), and after entering the first special view starting opening 23 or the second special view starting opening 24, the preliminary notice effect is started immediately If not, if at the start of the change of the new first special figure or the second special figure, if the number of pending storage is more than a predetermined number of storage, it performs a preliminary announcement notice effect of the pending storage of the determination content is a big hit. Also in this case, the advance announcement notice effect is started at the start of fluctuation of the first special figure or the second special figure.
The pachinko machine of the third embodiment may be configured to be able to execute special pre-reading advance notice effects as in the second embodiment.

  The pachinko machine of the third embodiment is provided with pre-reading advance notice effect control means [FIG. 22: S527, FIG. 23: S 626]. If the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means [FIG. 7: S202, S207] is a specific confirmation result, the prefetch advance notice effect control means pre-reads even if the first execution start condition is satisfied. It is the structure which can start pre-reading advance notice production by starting 2nd execution start conditions, without starting advance notice production.

  The pachinko machine of the third embodiment is capable of performing the prefetching notice effect with a high degree of expectation of the big hit at the start of the fluctuation of the special view without immediately after entering the starting opening. As a result, the player can be made to recognize that the advance notice announcement effect executed at the start of the fluctuation of the special drawing is the one with high expectation of the big hit. Therefore, by making the player aware of the effect start timing, such as whether the pre-read advance notice effect with high expectation of the big hit is executed by the establishment of the first execution start condition or by the establishment of the second execution start condition. In one of the timings, it is possible to add an interest such as high reliability of the notice effect and low reliability in the other timing.

In the pachinko machine of the third embodiment, the “second execution start condition process C” executes the process in the order of the determination of the change start signal and the determination of the first condition non-establishment flag, but the invention is not limited thereto. The order of determination may be changed.
In addition, the pachinko machine of the third embodiment may be configured to be able to execute the special pre-reading advance notice effect as in the second embodiment.

Fourth Embodiment
A pachinko machine according to a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment executes prefetch advance notice effect when the first execution start condition is satisfied, when the determination content of the prefetch determination is a big hit (specific confirmation result). On the other hand, even if the second execution start condition is satisfied, when the determination content of the pre-reading determination is a big hit, it is possible to not execute pre-reading advance notice effect. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.

  In the pachinko machine, “the first execution start condition process A” (FIG. 16) is executed in the sub integrated control device 42 as in the first embodiment. Subsequently, the “second execution start condition process D” shown in FIG. 24 is executed to control the preview advance presentation effect. In this process, first, it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation start command (variation start signal) of the first special figure or the second special figure is received (S630). If a negative determination is made (S630: no), the process returns to the main routine executed by the sub integrated control device 42, and this process ends.

If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S630 (S630: yes), it is determined in the process of S631 whether the first condition non-establishment flag is "1". If the determination is negative (S631: no), the process returns.
If it is affirmation determination in the process of said S631 (S631: yes), in the process of S632, it will be determined whether the number of pending storages of a 1st special figure and a 2nd special figure is "two" or more. If the determination is negative (S632: no), the process returns.
If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S632 (S632: yes), it is determined whether the determination content of the prefetch command received in the process of S633 is a specific determination content to be a big hit. If the determination is negative (S633: yes), the first condition non-establishment flag is reset to "0" in the process of S635. Subsequently, pre-reading advance notice effect with predetermined determination content is executed (S636). Then return.

If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S633 (S633: yes), it is determined in the process of S634 whether or not to execute preview advance notice effect with a specific determination content. In this case, for example, it is desirable that the random number be extracted and it is determined whether or not the advance notice advance effect is to be executed by the lottery using the random number.
If an affirmative determination is made in the process of S634 (S634: yes), the process of 635 is performed, and in the process of S526, pre-reading advance notice effect with a specific determination content is executed. Then return.
On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in the process of S634 (S634: no), the prefetch advance notice effect with the specific determination content is not executed, and the process returns.

In the “second execution start condition process D”, although the content of the pre-reading determination of the pending storage resulting from entering the first special view start opening 23 or the second special view start opening 24 is the predetermined determination content, (1) If the number of pending storages is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of memories at the start of a new first special figure or second special figure fluctuation when the execution start condition is not satisfied, pre-reading notice effect of predetermined determination contents is executed Do. In this case, the pre-reading advance notice effect is started at the start of fluctuation of the first special figure or the second special figure.
On the other hand, when the determination content by the pre-reading determination is a big hit (specific determination content), it is possible not to execute the pre-reading advance notice effect regardless of establishment or failure of the first execution start condition.

  The pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment is provided with pre-reading advance notice effect control means [FIG. 22: S527, FIG. 23: S 626]. The prefetch advance notice effect control means determines that the first execution start condition is satisfied when the confirmation result of the numerical data confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means [FIG. 7: S202, S207] is a specific confirmation result. Although the effect is started, it is possible to not start the advance notice effect even if the second execution start condition is satisfied.

  The pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment can execute the pre-reading advance notice effect with a high expectation of the jackpot immediately after entering the starting opening, but not at the start of the fluctuation of the special view. As a result, it is possible to make the player recognize that the pre-read notice effect executed immediately after entering the starting opening is high in the expectation of the big hit. Therefore, by making the player aware of the effect start timing, such as whether the pre-read advance notice effect with high expectation of the big hit is executed by the establishment of the first execution start condition or by the establishment of the second execution start condition. In one of the timings, it is possible to add an interest such as high reliability of the notice effect and low reliability in the other timing.

In the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment, the “second execution start condition process D” executes the process in the order of the determination of the change start signal, the determination of the first condition non-establishment flag, and the determination of the number of pending storages. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination order of these may be changed.
Further, the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment may be configured to be able to execute special pre-reading advance notice effects as in the second embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be variously implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, when the judgment content of the pre-reading judgment described in the third embodiment is a specific judgment content, the pre-reading advance notice effect is not executed under the first execution start condition, and the pre-reading advance notice effect is started under the second execution start condition. While the prefetch execution effect is executed under the first execution start condition when the determination contents of the prefetching determination described in the fourth embodiment and the configuration that can be performed are the specific determination contents, the prefetch execution is performed under the second execution start condition You may combine with the structure which can not perform preliminary | backup production | presentation. In this case, it is desirable that a plurality of types of specific determination contents be provided, and the configuration of the third embodiment and the configuration of the fourth embodiment be selectively used according to the type of the specific determination content. For example, if the specific determination content is a normal big hit, the configuration of the third embodiment may be used, and if the specific determination content is a normal probability variation big hit, the configuration of the fourth embodiment may be used. In addition, it is conceivable that a plurality of types of prefetch advance notice effects are provided, the first prefetch notice effect is the configuration of the third embodiment, and the second prefetch notice effect is the configuration of the fourth embodiment. In this way, it is possible to make the second look-ahead notice effect more expectable at the time of starting opening ball entry, and it is possible to make the first look-ahead notice effect more expectable at the start of fluctuation, combining pre-read notice effect at the same time Even if it carries out, it can shift and use the expected point.
Furthermore, it is also possible to combine a third pre-reading preview effect that can be expected at either timing of the first embodiment. According to this, at the time of entering the starting opening, the second pre-reading advance notice effect and the third pre-reading advance notice effect are more expected, and at the start of fluctuation, the first pre-reading advance notice effect and the third pre-reading advance notice effect are expected more.
Further, the present invention may be applied to a pachinko machine provided with a small hit by judging whether the special symbol is acceptable or not. In that case, it is possible to execute, as the advance notice announcement effect, the first advance notice announcement effect mainly indicating the expectation of the big hit, and the second advance notice announcement effect mainly indicating the expectation of the small hit, respectively. It is also conceivable to carry out with any of the configurations of the fourth embodiment. For example, if the first prefetch notice effect is performed in the fourth embodiment and the second prefetch notice effect is performed in the third embodiment, it is expected in the first prefetch notice effect whether or not a big hit occurs at the start entrance ball. At the start of the change, whether or not to hit a small hit can be expected in the second look ahead notice effect.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, a predetermined number of gaming balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base, and the enclosed gaming balls are fired toward the gaming area of the gaming board, and the launched gaming balls are recovered and recovered. It may be applied to an enclosed type pachinko machine that plays a game by cyclically using a predetermined number of gaming balls inside by firing the balls again.
