Variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special view game or the second special view game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, upper and lower) in each of the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Scroll display of direction and update display). Note that the special view game to be executed synchronously and the variable display of the decorative symbol are collectively referred to simply as variable display.

  On the screen of the image display device 5, a display area may be provided for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display for which execution is suspended, or an active display corresponding to the variable display under execution. The hold display and the active display are also collectively referred to as a variable display corresponding display corresponding to the variable display.

  The number of pending variable displays is also referred to as the number of pending storages. The number of pending storages corresponding to the first special view game is also referred to as a first pending storage number, and the number of pending storages corresponding to the second special view game is also referred to as a second pending storage number. The total of the first pending storage number and the second pending storage number is also referred to as the total pending storage number.

  In addition, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2, and the first hold indicator 25A includes the number of lighted LEDs. Thus, the first number of pending storages is displayed, and the second pending display 25B displays the second number of pending storages according to the number of lighted LEDs.

  Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

Below the upper plate, there is provided a hitting plate (lower plate) from which winning balls are dispensed when the upper plate is full.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a stick controller 31A which can be held and tilted by the player is attached. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a push button 31B is provided, which allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the player's operation (operation etc.), but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is fired toward the game area by the player's rotation operation on the ball striking operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the gaming ball passes through the passing gate 41, a regular drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when a game ball passes passage gate 41 during a period during execution of the last game of a game (when a game ball passes passage gate 41, but a game game based on the passage can not be executed immediately) The regular game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

  In this common-play game, when a specific normal symbol (per-flat symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol is "per common-word". On the other hand, if an ordinary symbol other than the symbol per common drawing (general drawing loss symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "general drawing lost". When it becomes "per common plan", opening control is performed to open the variable winning prize ball device 6B for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening is opened).

  When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

  When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, a second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  In addition, when the game ball enters into the start winning opening (winning) during the period during execution of the special figure game, and the period controlled to the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state to be described later (start winning is generated When the special figure game based on the starting winning combination can not be executed immediately), the special figure game based on the entry is suspended from being executed up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

  If special symbols (big hit symbols such as "7", the actual symbols differ according to the big hit type described later) are displayed as special symbols in the special figure game, they will be "big hits" and they will be big hit symbols If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from that is displayed stopped, it becomes "small hit". Also, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (a lost symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it is a "loss".

  After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous advantageous state for the player. After the display result in the special view game becomes "small hit", the small hit gaming state is controlled.

  In the jackpot gaming state, the player can obtain a winning ball by advancing the gaming ball into the big winning opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state, and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

  In the "big hit", a big hit type is set. For example, a large winning opening opening mode (round number and opening upper limit period), a gaming state after the big hit gaming state (described later, normal state, time saving state, probability variation state, etc.) prepared a plurality of types, according to these The type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type capable of obtaining many prize balls, or a jackpot type with few prize balls or hardly capable of obtaining prize balls.

  In the small hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit gaming state, the opening mode similar to the big hit gaming state at the time of some big hit classifications (the number of opening of the big winning opening is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same Etc.) the big winning opening is open. As in the case of the big hit type, the "small hit" may be provided with a small hit type.

  After the big hit gaming state ends, depending on the big hit type, it may be controlled to the time saving state or the probability changing state.

  In the short time state, control (time reduction control) is executed to shorten the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure changes) compared to the normal state. In the time saving state, by shortening the average spread map fluctuation time (period for changing the spread map) than in the normal state, or by improving the probability of being “per spread map” in the spread game game, than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that facilitates the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (in particular, the second special symbol) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

  In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time saving control, probability variation control is performed in which the probability that the display result is a "big hit" is higher than that in the normal state. The probability change state is a state more advantageous to the player because the probability change state of the special symbol is likely to be a "big hit" in addition to the improvement of the variation efficiency of the special symbol.

  The time saving state or the probability changing state continues until any one end condition such as the fact that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit gaming state is established first. It is also referred to as “the number of times cut (short in the number of times, short in the number of times definite change, etc.)” as the end condition that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is the end condition.

  The normal state is a gaming state other than the special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state which is advantageous for the player, a short time state, a definite change state, etc., and the display result in the common drawing game is "per common drawing". The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special view game will be a "big hit" is a preset state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case of system reset) It is a state controlled in the same way as when the processing was not performed.

  A state in which the probability change control is being performed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not performed is also referred to as a low probability state. A state in which time saving control is being performed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which time saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low base state. In combination, the short time state is also referred to as a low probability high base state, the positive variation state is also referred to as a high probability high base state, and the normal state is a low probability low base state.

  After the small hit gaming state ends, the change of the gaming state is not performed, and the control result of the special drawing game is continuously controlled to the previous gaming state to become the "small hit" (but the "small hit" occurs) When the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above-mentioned number cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, it is not necessary to have a "small hit" as a display result of the special drawing game.

  The gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the gaming ball passes the specific area, it may be controlled to be in the positive changing state after the big hit gaming state.

(Progress of progress etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of informing the progress of the game or boosting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The said effect is demonstrated below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 The operation may be performed by the operation of the movable body 32, etc.

  In the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or (2) In response to the start of the special figure game, variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special drawing game and the second special drawing game, the finalized decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol ) Is also displayed (derived).

  In a period from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the end thereof, the aspect of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach aspect (reach is established). Here, with the reach mode, when the decorative symbol stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later, variable display is performed for the decorative symbol not yet stopped and displayed. Is the aspect that is continuing.

  In addition, reach production is executed corresponding to becoming the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative design. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a ratio (also called a big hit reliability or a big hit expectation) in which the display result (display result of the special drawing game or display of the variable display of the decorative symbol) becomes “big hit” according to the presentation mode. A plurality of different types of reach effects are performed. The reach production includes, for example, a normal reach and a super reach having a higher hit reliability than the normal reach.

  When the display result of the special view game is "big hit", a finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 The display result of the variable display of the symbol becomes "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbol (for example, "7" etc.) is displayed on stop on the predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right". .

  If it is a "probable big hit" controlled to a definite change state after the end of the big hit gaming state, odd decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are aligned and stop displayed, and after the end of the big hit gaming state In the case of "non-probable variation big hit (usually big hit)" which is not controlled, even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6" etc.) may be arranged to be stopped and displayed. In this case, an odd decorative pattern is also referred to as a probability variation pattern, and an even number decorative pattern is also referred to as a non-probability variation symbol (normal pattern). After reaching the reach mode with a non-deterministic symbol, a promotion effect that finally becomes a "possibly large hit" may be executed.

  When the display result of the special view game is "small hit", a finalized combination symbol (for example, "a small hit combination defined in advance as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5). 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes" small hit "). As an example, the decorative symbols forming the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit gaming state of the same aspect as small hit gaming state) and when it becomes "small hit" , A fixed finalized design may be derived and displayed.

  When the display result of the special view game is "loss", the display mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol does not become the reach mode, but the fixed decorative symbol of the non-reach combination is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (" Sometimes it is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). Also, when the display result is "loss", a predetermined reach combination which is not a big hit combination ("reach loss") as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol after the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes the reach aspect. There is also a case where the finalized decorative pattern is displayed in a stopped state (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach loss”).

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, an advance notice effect or the like for giving notice of the jackpot reliability is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. The advance notice effects include advance notice effects for giving notice of the jackpot reliability in the variable display in execution, and pre-reading notice effects for giving notice of the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display for which execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be performed.

  Further, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol temporarily while the decorative symbol is being variably displayed, the variable display is resumed to make one variable display appear as if it were a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner. The pseudo series effect may be performed.

  During the jackpot gaming state, a jackpot during the jackpot to notify the jackpot gaming state is executed. As the jackpot effect, an effect of informing the number of rounds or a promotion effect indicating that the value of the jackpot gaming state is improved may be executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, during the small hitting during the small hitting game state which is notified the small hitting game state is executed. In addition, during the small hit gaming state, and some of the big hit type (big hit type of the big hit gaming state of the same manner as the small hit gaming state, for example, a big hit type that makes the subsequent gaming state highly probable) Depending on the state, the player may not know whether the present is in the small hit gaming state or the big hit gaming state by executing a common effect. In such a case, by performing a common effect after the end of the small hit gaming state and after the end of the big hit gaming state, it is not possible to distinguish whether it is a high probability state or a low probability state. May be

  Further, for example, when the special drawing game or the like is not executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

An output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the common view hold display 25C and the like, and a solenoid drive signal) is configured.

  The switch circuit 110 detects detection signals (game balls pass) from various switches (gate switch 21, start port switch (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), count switch 23) for detecting game balls. A detection signal or the like indicating that the switch has been turned on is entered and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, it is detected that the game ball has passed or entered.

  The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary motorized role and the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. Transmit

  The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control), as part of the control of the progress of the game, according to the progress of the game effect control command (command to specify (notice) the progress of the game etc.) effect control board Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main substrate 11 is relayed by the relay substrate 15 and supplied to the effect control substrate 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main substrate 11 (for example, display results of special drawing games (including a big hit type), fluctuation patterns used when executing the special drawing games (described in detail later) ), Game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning opening, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, gaming state), command for designating occurrence of error and the like are included.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and effects (various effects corresponding to the progress of the game based on the effect control command received, It has a function of performing various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, and the like.

  On the effect control board 12, a CPU 120 for effect control, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes the program stored in the ROM 121 to execute the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the functions of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed) (Including the determination of At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 is used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of effects based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (signals output when detecting an operation by the player and appropriately indicating the contents of the operation). The control unit 123 may also be instructed.

  The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes rendering based on a rendering execution instruction from the rendering control CPU 120.

  The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display the effect image by supplying the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the execution instruction of the effect from the effect control CPU 120. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for specifying a sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output synchronized with the display of the effect image and to turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. And the lamp control board 14 is supplied with a lamp signal (a signal for specifying the lamp on / off mode). Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body 32.

  The voice control board 13 has various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. Let

  The lamp control board 14 has various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9 and drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on / off the game effect lamp 9 in a mode specified by the lamp signal. Do. Thus, the display control unit 123 controls voice output and lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes an audio output, control of lighting / extinguishing of the lamp (supply of a sound designation signal or a lamp signal, etc.), control of the movable body 32 (supply of a signal for operating the movable body 32, etc.) You may do so.

  The random number circuit 124 can count value data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used to execute various effects so as to be updateable. The effect random number may be updated (updated by software) as the effect control CPU 120 executes a predetermined computer program.

  Substrates other than the main substrate 11, such as the effect control substrate 12, the voice control substrate 13, and the lamp control substrate 14, are also referred to as sub substrates. As in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a plurality of sub substrates may be provided for each function, or one sub substrate may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(Operation)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main substrate 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes gaming control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 in the main board 11.

  In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, first, the CPU 103 sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initialization is performed (step S2). The initial setting includes setting of a stack pointer, setting of a register of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port or the like), setting to make the RAM 102 accessible.

  Next, it is determined whether the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply substrate. When the power is turned on with the clear switch on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 through the input port. If the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing the flag, counter, and buffer stored in the RAM 102, and sets an initial value in the work area.

  Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). When receiving the effect control command, the effect control CPU 120 performs, for example, on the image display device 5, screen display for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

  If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power interruption), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before it becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In the power supply stop process, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes the process of adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data (including various flags, various timer states, and the like) for progressing the game, as well as the state of the backup flag and an error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

  When backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (performed using an error detection code), and determines whether the data is normal (step S4) S5). In step S5, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data at the time of the power supply stop, for example, by the parity bit or the checksum. If it is determined that they match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

  If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (Step S5; No), the internal state can not be returned to the state at the time of stopping the power supply, so the initialization process (Step S8) is executed.

  If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs recovery processing (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main substrate 11 to the state at the time of stopping the power supply. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the storage content of the RAM 102 (content of backed up data). As a result, when the power supply is stopped, the gaming state is restored, and when the special symbol is changing, the variation of the special symbol is resumed from the state before the recovery by execution of the timer interrupt processing for game control described later. It will be

  Then, the CPU 103 transmits, to the effect control board 12, an effect control command instructing recovery from power failure (step S 7). At the same time, the effect control command for specifying the gaming state before power interruption that has been backed up, or the effect control for specifying the display result of the special figure game in progress when the special figure game is being executed A command may be sent. These commands can use the same commands as those set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command specifying the time of recovery from the power failure, for example, in the image display device 5, it notifies that the recovery from the power failure has been made or that the recovery from the power failure is in progress. Display the screen to The effect control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the effect control command.

  After completing the recovery process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the setting of the register of the CTC incorporated in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed so that the timer interrupt is periodically performed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12). ). Then it enters loop processing. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening are performed via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 have been received (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing predetermined information output processing, for example, big hit information (information indicating the number of occurrences of big hit, etc.) supplied to a hole management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of winnings and the like, and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times and the like of the probability variation state) are output (step S23).

  Following the information output process, the game random number updating process for updating at least a part of the gaming random numbers used on the main substrate 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes the special symbol process process for each timer interrupt to realize management of execution and suspension of the special figure game, control of the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state, control of the playing state, etc. Later).

  Following the special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process process every timer interrupt, and based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball to the pass gate 41) management of execution and suspension of the common figure game, It enables the release control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per game". The ordinary game is executed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the general drawing reserve display is displayed by turning on the ordinary drawing suspension display 25C.

  After executing the normal symbol process processing, as part of the game control timer interrupt processing, processing when a power failure occurs, processing for paying out a prize ball, and the like may be performed. Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set transmission of an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted, and then the game control timer interrupt process is ended.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

  In the start winning determination process, processing for detecting the occurrence of the start winning, storing pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a start winning occurs, a display result (including a big hit type) and a random value for determining a fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, processing may be executed to determine whether the display result or the variation pattern is read ahead. After storing the hold information and the number of held memories, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of start winnings, the number of held memories, and the pre-reading judgment is performed on the effect control board 12 . For example, after the special symbol process process is completed, the effect control command at the start winning combination set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. Is transmitted to

  After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special view process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each processing (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process processing, transmission setting for transmitting a rendering control command corresponding to each processing to the rendering control board 12 is performed.

  The special symbol normal processing of step S110 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether to start the first special view game or the second special view game based on the presence / absence of the hold information and the like. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for display result determination, whether the display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit" or "small hit" or "big hit" in the case of "big hit" Are determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, a determined special symbol (one of a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, and a lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special figure game is set according to the determined display result. Thereafter, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. In addition, the special view game using the second special view may be executed with priority over the special view game using the first special view (also referred to as special view 2 priority digest). In addition, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special drawing game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order termination).

  When various determinations are made based on random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which determination values to be compared with random value are assigned to determination results) are referred to. The same applies to other determinations on the main substrate 11 and various determinations on the effect control substrate 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

  The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of types of variation patterns is used using random value for variation pattern determination based on the result of prior determination of whether or not the display result is "big hit" or "small hit" or the like. The process of deciding on etc. is included. In the fluctuation pattern setting process, when the fluctuation pattern is determined, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “2”, and the fluctuation pattern setting process is ended.

  The variation pattern is the execution time of the special figure game (special figure variation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol (such as presence or absence of reach), and the variable display of the decorative symbol The content of the effect (type of reach effect, etc.) is designated, and is also called a variable display pattern.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, a process to make settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. Further, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process is ended.

  The special symbol stopping process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol to be the display result of the special symbol is stop displayed (derived) The process for setting up is included. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special process process flag is updated to "8". In addition, when the display result is “loss”, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “0”. When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time cut is completed and control is made in the time saving state or the positive change state. When the value of the special drawing process flag is updated, the special symbol stop process ends.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". This big hit opening pre-processing includes, for example, a process to start the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and set the big winning opening to the open state based on the display result becoming "big hit" etc. It is done. When the special winning opening is opened, processing for supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed. At this time, an open upper limit period for setting the big winning opening in an open state, and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set, for example, in accordance with which jackpot type is. When these settings are completed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pre-processing ends.

  The big hit open processing of step S115 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is “5”. The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes a process of determining whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6", End the process during the big hit open.

  The big hit opening post process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round with the big winning opening opened has reached the set upper limit number of times, or when the upper limit number of times reached the big hit gaming state Includes the process of setting for terminating the program. When the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of rounds has reached the upper limit number of executions, The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special drawing process flag is updated, the big hit release post-processing ends.

  The big hit end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In this big hit end processing, processing to wait until waiting time corresponding to a period during which ending effect is executed as a rendering operation to notify the end of big hit gaming state, processing corresponding to the end of big hit gaming state It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and short time control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “0”, and the big hit end processing ends.

  The small hit opening pre-processing of step S118 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "8". The small hit opening pre-processing includes, for example, a process for setting the large winning opening in the small hit gaming state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “9”, and the small hit open pre-processing ends.

  The small hit open processing in step S119 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "9". In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to return the big winning opening from the open state to the closing state based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening and the measured elapsed time, etc. Processing for determining whether or not it is included is included. When the large winning opening is returned to the closed state and the small hit gaming state end timing comes, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "10", and the small hit open processing is ended.

  The small hitting end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special process process flag is "10". The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit gaming state is executed has elapsed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit gaming state has elapsed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end processing is ended.

(Main operation of presentation control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12 Performs register settings etc. of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing an initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for performing predetermined operation confirmation is executed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the register setting of CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly performed and the process waits.

  Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt generated each time a predetermined time has elapsed. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. If an interrupt occurs because the effect control INT signal is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable state, but interrupts using the CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state. It is desirable to issue a prohibited instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is fetched from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command fetched at this time is stored, for example, in a effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are read out. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the effect control command read out is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or the RAM 122 so that the effect control command can be confirmed and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process or the like. Turn on the provided reception flag. In addition, when the effect control command specifies the gaming state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the gaming state.

  After the command analysis process is performed in step S75, an effect control process process is performed (step S76). In the effect control process, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation in the decoration light such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decoration LED, the movable body 32 Control to operate various rendering devices is performed, such as driving operation. Further, with regard to the control content of the rendering operation using various rendering devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the rendering control command or the like transmitted from the main substrate 11.

  Following the effect control process of step S76, an effect random number updating process is executed (step S77), and at least a portion of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S73. Before returning to the process of step S73, another process may be performed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes preread advance notice setting processing (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the presentation control command at the start winning combination transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Moreover, the process for displaying a pending | holding display is performed based on the pending | holding memory number specified from the said production control command.

  After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

  The variable display start waiting process of step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of the decorative symbol in the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command specifying start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11 or the like. And so on. If it is determined that the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 is to be started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

  The variable display start setting process of step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the fluctuation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (decision decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol, reach effect and various types The presence or absence of execution of various effects such as advance notice effects and the manner and timing of execution start thereof are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (a set of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute an effect) in which the determination result and the like are reflected is set. Thereafter, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is ended. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative symbol according to the instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative symbol.

  The variable display effect process of step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In the variable display effect process, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display an effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S 171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. Or, driving the movable body 32, outputting a voice or sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, a command (electric decoration signal) to the lamp control board 14 Various effect control is performed during the variable display of the decorative symbol, such as turning on / off / flashing the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by the output. After performing such effect control, for example, the end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol is read out from the effect control pattern, or the command specifying that the main decorative object 11 is made to stop and display the decorative symbol is received In response to what has been done, the fixed decoration pattern that is the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the finalized decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the variable display effect processing ends.

  The process for waiting for a special figure in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3." In the waiting process for the special view, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the effect control command designating start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command designating start of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state is received, if the command designates the start of the big hit gaming state, the value of the effect process flag is set to “6 Update to On the other hand, if the command designates the start of the small hit gaming state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the small hit middle effect processing. In addition, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost" when the reception waiting time of the command elapses without receiving the command specifying that the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state is started. Thus, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value. When the value of the rendering process flag is updated, the special drawing hit waiting process is ended.

  The small hitting middle effect process of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is "4". In this small hit medium effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern corresponding to the contents of the effect in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the setting contents. . Further, in the small hitting medium effect processing, for example, in response to the reception of a command specifying termination of the small hit gaming state from the main substrate 11, the value of the presentation process flag is a value corresponding to the small hit ending effect. Update to a certain "5" and end small hitting medium effect processing.

  The small hitting end effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is "5". In this small hitting end effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern and the like corresponding to the end of the small hit gaming state, etc., and various kinds of effect control at the end of the small hit gaming state based on the setting contents. Run. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the small hitting end effect processing is ended.

  The jackpot inside effect process of step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In the big hit internal effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the big hit gaming state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit gaming state based on the setting contents. Further, in the big hit inside effect processing, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect processing, for example, in response to the reception of the command specifying the end of the big hit gaming state from the main board 11 Update to 7 ′ ′ and complete the big hit internal rendering process.

  The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect process, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state, etc., and performs various effect control of ending effect at the end of the big hit gaming state based on the setting contents. Run. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is an initial value, and the ending effect processing is ended.

(Description of feature portion in the present embodiment)
Next, the features of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, showing the layout of the main members. The left side of the image display device 5 on the game board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is formed in the left gaming area 113SG002L where the game ball can flow down, and the right side of the image display device 5 on the game board 2 is a game It is formed in the right game area 113SG002R where the ball can flow down.

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is configured of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the image display 5, corresponding to the variation display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A in the special figure game and the variation display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions such as three, the decorative symbol which is plural types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each is variably displayed. The variable display of this decorative pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the image display device 5, decorative pattern display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, 113SG005R of "left", "middle", and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to any one of the change of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the change of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B being started in the special figure game, In the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, and 113SG005R, fluctuation of the decorative symbol (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) is started. After that, when the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display result in the special view game, each of the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, 113SG005R in the image display device 5 is displayed. The finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol), which is the result of the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed.

  Thus, in the display area of image display device 5, the special figure game using the first special figure in first special symbol display device 4A, or the second special figure in second special symbol display device 4B. In synchronization with the figure game, the variable display of a plurality of kinds of decorative symbols which can be respectively identified is performed, and the finalized decorative symbol to be the variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as "derivation"). For example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and decorative symbols means to stop identification information such as decorative symbols etc (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) and to end variable display. . On the other hand, during the fluctuation display until the finalized decoration design is derived and displayed after the fluctuation display of the decoration design is started, the fluctuation speed of the decoration design becomes "0", and the decoration is displayed. For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed definitively, the player can recognize that the change of the decorative symbol by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the decorative pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction.

  For example, eight kinds of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese characters are displayed on the decorative symbols variably displayed in “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, 113SG005R, respectively. The character image may be, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, or a combination of a number, English letters, eight character images relating to a predetermined motif, a number or a character or a combination of a symbol and a character image. , A symbol such as a character, or any other decorative image representing an arbitrary figure). Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the decorative symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. The decorative design is not limited to eight types, but may be any number as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations such as a combination of "big hit" and a combination of "off" (for example, seven types or more) 9 types etc).

  After the variation display of the decorative symbol is started, until the finalized decorative symbol to be the variable display result is derived and displayed, the decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, 113SG005R for "left", "middle", and "right" For example, when the scroll display is performed such that the symbol numbers flow sequentially from the top to the bottom from the one with the highest symbol number to the next, and the decorative symbol with the maximum symbol number (for example, "8") is displayed, A decorative symbol whose symbol number is the smallest (for example, "1") is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, 113SG005R (for example, the decorative symbol display area 5L of "left", etc.), scroll display is performed from the one with the large symbol number to the one with the small symbol number, When the decorative symbol having the smallest number is displayed, the decorative symbol having the largest symbol number may be displayed subsequently.

  In the left and right two places in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5, a first hold storage display area 113SG005D and a second hold storage display area 113SG005U are set. In the first hold storage display area 113SG005D and the second hold storage display area 113SG005U, a hold storage display is performed which displays the number of pending storages of the variable display corresponding to the special view game (the number of special view reservations).

  Here, the game ball passes through the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B for suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special view game. It occurs based on the start winnings by). That is, although a start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing a variable display game such as a special view game or a variable display of a decorative symbol is satisfied, a variable display game based on the start condition established earlier is being executed. If the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, etc., suspension of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is To be done. In this embodiment, the holding memory display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening is displayed as a round white display, and the game ball passes the second starting winning opening ( Similarly, the holding storage display generated based on the start-up winning due to the entry is made a round white display.

  In the following description, the first pending storage display area 113SG005D and the second pending storage display area 113SG005U may be referred to as a pending display area, and the number of pending storages is the first pending storage display area 113SG005D and the second pending storage display It can be recognized by the number of pending storage displays displayed in the area 113SG005U. Furthermore, a display in which the pending storage display is collected may be referred to as a pending display.

  The hold display in the first hold storage display area 113SG005D and the second hold storage display area 113SG005U is generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first start winning opening, or the second The display mode (for example, the display color or the shape) may be made different depending on whether the game ball is generated based on the start winning prize by passing (entering) the start winning hole. In the present embodiment, “execution” and “execution” are synonymous.

  Further, at the left end portion of the image display device 5, a small symbol display area 113SG005S including small symbols of "left", "middle" and "right" which are interlocked with the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol is also arranged. In addition, since the small design in the characteristic part of the present embodiment is smaller than the decorative design and is displayed in the lower right portion of the image display device 5, it is a design having lower visibility and decorativeness than the decorative design. The present invention is not limited to this, and the small design may be a design in which only one of the visibility and the decorativeness is lower than the decorative design.

  Furthermore, a plurality of obstacle nails 113SGK2 and 113SGK3 are disposed around the common drawing start winning opening 113SG042 in the right gaming area 113SG002R. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of winning balls to the general winning opening 113SG010C during the big hit game can be adjusted by the obstacle nails 113SGK2 and 113SGK3.

  FIG. 8-3 (A) is an explanatory view showing an example of the content of the effect control command used in the present embodiment. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte indicates MODE (classification of command), and the second byte indicates EXT (type of command). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 8-3 (A) is an example, and another command form may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is configured by two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one, or may be three or more.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8-3 (A), the command 8001H is a first change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. The command 8002H is a second change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is displayed on the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C and 113SG005R in a variable display corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special view game. It is a fluctuation pattern specification command which specifies fluctuation patterns (variation time), such as a pattern. Here, XXH represents an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set in accordance with the content of an instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set in accordance with the designated variation pattern or the like.

  The command 8CXXH is a variable display result specification command, and is an effect control command for specifying a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-3 (B), the variable display result specification command determines whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit” (predetermined result) or the variable display result is Different EXT data are set according to the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plural types the big hit type in the case of “big hit” is to be set.

  In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-3 (B), the command 8C00H is a first variable display result specification command indicating a result of a prior determination that the variable display result will be “lost”. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probably big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probable big hit B", and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "non-probable change big hit" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C04H is a sixth variable display result specification command for notifying of a preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "small hit".

  The command 8F00H is a symbol determination command for designating stopping of variation (decision) of the decorative symbol in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005C, and 113SG005R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a gaming state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the gaming state designation command, different EXT data is set in accordance with, for example, the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, command 9500H is set as the first gaming state designating command corresponding to the gaming state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither time reduction control nor probability change control is performed, and time reduction control The second game state designating command corresponding to the gaming state (low probability high base state, time saving state) in which the probability change control is not performed is set. Further, the command 9502H is set as a third game state specification command corresponding to a game state (high probability high base state, time reduction positive change state) in which both time reduction control and probability change control are performed.

  The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as “fanfare command”) for designating the display of the effect image indicating the start of the big hit game or the small hit game. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is in an open state in the big hit gaming state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after the opening of the special winning opening for notifying that it is a period in which the special winning opening has changed from the opening state to the closing state in the big hit gaming state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for specifying the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit game or small hit.

  In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-decision result or the jackpot type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command. . Alternatively, in the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-decision result and the jackpot type decision result and the EXT data to be set may be made different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command. . In the special winning opening open notification command and the special winning opening after open notification command, different EXT data, for example, corresponding to the number of rounds executed (for example, “1” to “16”) in the normal opening big hit state or high speed open big hit state Is set.

  The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball which has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) has occurred. It is a first starting opening winning combination designating command for notifying that the first starting condition for executing the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A is established. The command B 200 H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 113 SG 006 B is detected by the second start opening switch 22 B and the start winning (second start winning) occurs. It is a 2nd starting opening winning a prize specified command which notifies that the 2nd starting condition for performing the special figure game using the 2nd special figure in the 2nd special symbol display device 4B was satisfied.

  The command C1XXH is a first pending storage number notification command for notifying the first special view pending storage number to make it possible to identify the special view pending storage number. The command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special view pending storage number in order to enable identification of the special view pending storage number. For example, when the first start opening winning combination designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition is satisfied, the first hold storage number notification command is transmitted. , And is transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is transmitted when, for example, the second starting opening winning combination designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied. , And is transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12. In the first reserve memory number notification command and the second reserve memory number notification command, when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserve memory decreases), It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

  Instead of the first pending storage number notification command or the second pending storage number notification command, a total pending storage number notification command for reporting the total pending storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to notify an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

  The command C3XXH is a prize ball number notification command for making it possible to specify the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the fact that the gaming ball has won a prize in each winning opening. The command C401H is a special zone notification command for notifying the start of a special zone described later, and the command C402H is a special zone notification command for notifying the end of the special zone described later.

  FIGS. 8-4 is explanatory drawing which illustrates the random value value counted in the main board | substrate 11 side. As shown in FIG. 8-4, in the characterizing part of the present embodiment, on the side of the main substrate 11, a random number value MR1 for special display display result determination, a random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, and a variation pattern determination Numerical data indicating each of the random number value MR3 and the random number value MR4 for determining the common drawing display result is controlled so as to be countable. Note that other random values may be used to enhance the gaming effect. The random numbers used to control the progress of such a game are also referred to as gaming random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating a part or all of the random values MR1 to MR4. For example, the CPU 103 updates various numerical value data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown) included in the RAM 102, random number values MR1 to MR1. Numerical data indicating a part of the MR 4 may be counted.

  The random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination is a random number value used to determine whether or not to control the big hit gaming state with the variable display result such as the special symbol in the special figure game as the "big hit". It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is used to determine the jackpot type in the case of using the variable display result as the "big hit" as any of the "probably big hit A", "positively big hit B", and "non-probable big hit". The random number value to be used, for example, takes a value in the range of “1” to “100”.

  The random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination is a random number value used to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation display of the special symbol or the decorative pattern to any one of a plurality of types prepared in advance, for example, “1” to It takes a value in the range of 997 ".

  The random number value MR4 for determining the common drawing display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the common drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per common drawing" or "general drawing lost". Is a random number value, and takes, for example, a value in the range of “1” to “997”.

  FIGS. 8-5 has shown the fluctuation pattern in the characteristic part of this Embodiment. The characteristic part of this embodiment is a period from the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A to the execution of 32 special figure games (32 variation displays) in the high probability high base state, and the variation display result is Whether the ratio of big hit type in case of big hit is certain variation big hit A is in a special zone higher than that in non-special zone, and the variation display result is "losing", the variation display of the decorative design A plurality of fluctuation patterns corresponding to each of the cases where the aspect is “non-reach” and “reach” and corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “big hit” or “small hit”, etc. Is prepared in advance. In addition, the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is "loss" and the fluctuation display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is referred to as non-reach fluctuation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss fluctuation pattern") The variation pattern corresponding to the display result of "loss" and the variation display mode of the decorative symbol being "reach" is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the loss fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is "loss". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is "big hit" is referred to as a big hit variation pattern.

  In the big hit fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern in the non special zone, the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of normal reach is executed, and the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β is executed There is. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... You may provide the normal reach fluctuation pattern of. In addition to the super reach fluctuation pattern, three or more super reach fluctuation patterns such as super reach γ may be provided in addition to the super reach α and the super reach β.

  The variation pattern in the present embodiment also includes a variation pattern (PE1-1) corresponding to special when the variation display result is "small hit".

  As shown in Fig. 8-5, the special map fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of normal reach is executed in the non-special zone is set shorter than the super reach fluctuation patterns super reach α and super reach β. It is done. In addition, regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach such as the super reach α and the super reach β in the present embodiment is executed, the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach β is executed However, the special figure fluctuation time is set to be longer than the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach α is executed.

  In the feature part of the present embodiment, in the non-special zone, as described above, the big hit expectation that the variable display result becomes “big hit” becomes higher in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach. As it is set, in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the jackpot expectation rate.

  Next, for the fluctuation pattern in the special zone, the fluctuation display result is “losing” (PA 1-4), and the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probably variable big hit A” (PC 1-2) The special chart fluctuation time is set to be the same (both 3 seconds) with 1). In other words, if there is a probability variation big hit A in the special zone (if the big hit type is 'big hit' in the 32 variable display after the big hit game termination of the probability variation big hit and the big hit type is 'probably hit big hit A'), at 3 seconds intervals. The fluctuation display is repeatedly executed, and the decorative symbol is derived and displayed in a short time (3 seconds from the start of fluctuation) and a combination indicating “probable change big hit A” without the reach effect etc. being executed in the image display device 5 Ru.

  Furthermore, with regard to the fluctuation patterns in the special zone, a plurality of fluctuation patterns (shown in FIG. 8-5 as fluctuation patterns when the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “probably big hit B” or “non-probable big hit” In the example, 32 fluctuation patterns from PD1-1 to PD1-32 are provided.

  The fluctuation patterns PD1-N (N is an integer from 1 to 32) for "probability big hit B" and "non-probable big hit" in these special zones re-variate the temporary stop of the decorative pattern at intervals of 3 seconds from the start of each change. Is a fluctuation pattern for deriving and displaying the decorative pattern in combination indicating “probable variation big hit B” or “non-probable variation big hit” after performing the pseudo series effect performing “N” times.

  In this embodiment, as described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined in advance, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, etc. Therefore, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, it is determined using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. Although the present invention is not limited to this, for example, in addition to the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, random number values for variation pattern type determination are provided, and these variation pattern types are determined. A fluctuation pattern to be executed from a fluctuation pattern belonging to a fluctuation pattern belonging to the determined type since the kind of fluctuation pattern is first determined from a random value It is also possible to determine the emissions.

  8-6 shows a configuration example of the special view display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. As shown in FIG. In the feature portion of the present embodiment, the special view display result determination table common to the first special view and the second special view is used as the special view display result determination table, but the present invention is limited thereto It is also possible to use separate special drawing display result determination tables for the first special drawing and the second special drawing, instead of the one shown in FIG.

  The special figure display result judgment table is a variation display result in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed, reference is made to determine whether or not to control the variation display result as a "big hit" to a big hit gaming state based on the random number value MR1 for the special view display result determination. Table.

  In the special view display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-6, depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a short time state (low probability state) or a positive variation state (high probability state), A numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for special figure display result judgment is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "lost".

  In the special view display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special view display result determination determines whether the special view display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special view display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-6, when the gaming state is the probability change state (high probability state), more determination values are obtained than in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), It is assigned to the special map display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probability change state (high probability state) in which probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special view display result is controlled as the "big hit" when in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) Then, compared with the probability (about 1/300 in the present embodiment), the probability that it is determined that the special image display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" is higher (about 1/30 in the present embodiment). ). That is, in the special view display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probability change state (high probability state), it is determined to control to the big hit gaming state compared to when normal state or time saving state The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state so that the probability is high.

  In the special view display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-6, the number of determination values assigned to the "small hit" is the same regardless of whether the gaming state is a definite change state or not. In other words, in the characteristic part of the present embodiment, the probability that the variable display result is a "big hit" is a probability variation state (high probability state) as compared with the gaming state being a normal state or a short time state (low probability state). The probability of the variation display result being "small hit" is set to the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) and the probability changing state (high probability state) although the case where the value is higher is set. It is set identically in some cases.

  FIGS. 8-7 show examples of the configuration of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The big hit type determination table in the feature portion of the present embodiment determines that the special figure display result is to be controlled to the big hit gaming state as a "big hit", based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, a plurality of big hit types. It is a table that is referenced to decide on any of the types. In the big hit classification determination table, the special symbol on which the variation display (variation) is performed in the special figure game is the first special figure (the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special figure (the second special figure Depending on whether it is a special figure game by the symbol display device 4B, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type judgment is “non-probability variation big hit”, “probability variation big hit A”, “certain variation big hit It is assigned to a plurality of jackpot types such as “B”, “non-probable variation jackpot”.

  Here, the jackpot type according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 8-7 (B). In the present embodiment, high probability control and time saving control are executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state as a jackpot type. It is set to the high probability high base state and the probability variation big hit A and the probability variation big hit B, and the non-probability variation big hit that only time saving control is executed after the end of the big hit gaming status and the low probability high base status is shifted .

  The big hit gaming state by “probable big hit A” is a normally open big hit repeatedly performed 16 times (a so-called 16 round) of changing the special variable winning ball device 113SG 007 to a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the big hit gaming state by "probably big hit B" is a normally open big hit repeated five times (so-called five rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 113SG007 to a first state advantageous to the player. . In addition, the big hit gaming state due to "non-deterministic big hit" is a normally open big hit repeated five times (so-called five rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 113SG007 to a first state advantageous to the player. . Therefore, "probably big hit A" may be referred to as 16 rounds (16R), and "probably big hit B" may be referred to as 5 rounds (5R). Incidentally, even during a big hit game of any big hit type, the probability change control and the time saving control are not executed.

  Further, although not particularly illustrated, the small hit gaming state in the present embodiment changes the special variable winning ball device 113SG007 twice to a first state advantageous to the player, and the special variable winning ball device 113SG007 is extremely short. Open for a period of time (eg, 0.1 seconds). In addition, after the end of the small hit game, the gaming state immediately before the small hit game is taken over.

  The high probability control and the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurred again is the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B, the high probability control and the time saving control are executed again after the big hit gaming state ends, so the big hit gaming state does not go through the normal state It is a so-called continuous state that occurs continuously. In particular, in the feature part of the present embodiment, after the big hit game of the odd variation big hit A, 32 special game (32 variable display) is executed or 32 special games are executed. The variable display result is controlled to be a big hit until it is controlled to the above-mentioned special zone, and it may be controlled to the big hit game of probability variation big hit A after passing through the variable display of 3 seconds in the special zone.

  On the other hand, the time reduction control to be executed after the end of the big hit gaming state due to "non-deterministic big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) or the predetermined number of special figure games It ends by becoming a big hit game state before is executed.

  In the setting example of the big hit classification determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), “probably big hit A” and “prone big hit B according to whether the variation feature is the first special view or the second special view. The assignment of the judgment value to the “non-probable variation big hit” jackpot type is different. That is, when the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure, the "certainly variable big hit B" in which the judgment value in the predetermined range (values in the range of "81" to "100") If the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure while being assigned to the big hit classification of "", the number of judgment values smaller than the case where the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure is the "big hit B" It is assigned to the type. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be any of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special drawing game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. And if the jackpot type is determined to be any of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. And, it is possible to make the proportion of determining the jackpot type “a certainty big hit B” with a small number of rounds different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is obtained because the percentage determined to control to the normal open big hit state in which the number of rounds is smaller than the “probably big hit B” as the big hit type “probable big hit B” is small It is possible to prevent a decrease in gaming interest by avoiding frequent occurrences of big hit games with few prize balls.

  In the setting example of the jackpot classification determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), the assignment of the judgment value to the jackpot classification of “non-probability change” is whether the variation special drawing is the first special drawing or the second special drawing Because it is considered to be the same regardless of whether it is the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a jackpot of the probability variation is the same regardless of whether the variation feature is the first special figure or the second special figure It is assumed.

  Therefore, as described above, the assignment of the determination value to the "probable variation big hit B" differs depending on whether the variation feature is the first special view or the second special view, "certainly variation big hit A" The assignment of the judgment value to “” also differs depending on whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, and the variation special figure is the second special figure for “probable variation big hit A” with a large number of rounds. Is set to be easier to determine than the case of the first special view.

  When the variation special figure is the second special figure, the determination value may not be assigned to the big hit type of “probable variation big hit B”. In this way, when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure, the big hit type is not determined to be "probably big hit B" having a smaller number of lands than "probably big hit A". It is possible to avoid the frequent occurrence of the "big hit B" big hit game with less prize balls obtained than the big hit "A big hit game of the big hit A" and prevent the amusement from being lowered.

  Further, the feature of this embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the big hit type is determined with reference to different table data depending on whether the variation special drawing is the first special drawing or the second special drawing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination of the jackpot type is performed with reference to the common table data in the case where the variation special drawing is the first special drawing and the second special drawing. You may

  The RAM 102 in the present embodiment is provided with, for example, a game control data holding area (not shown) as an area for holding various data used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like.

A setting unit and a game control buffer setting unit are provided.

  The first special drawing reserve storage unit is a special drawing that has not been started yet although the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the start winning (first start winning) occurs. Hold data of the game (special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special view reserve storage unit is associated with the reserve number in the winning sequence (the order of detecting the gaming balls) to the first starting winning opening, and the establishment of the first starting condition in passing (entering) the gaming balls The random number value MR1 for special view display result determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. , Until the number of memories reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). The reserve data thus stored in the first special view reserve storage unit indicates that the execution of the special view game using the first special view is suspended, and the variation display result in this special view game (special view display result It becomes reservation information which makes it possible to determine whether or not to be a big hit based on.

  The second special view reserve storage unit, the game ball passes (enter) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 113SG006B, and although the start winning (second start winning) occurs, it has not been started yet. The reserve data of the figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special view reserve storage unit is associated with the reserve number in the winning order (the detection order of the game balls) to the second start winning opening, and establishment of the second start condition in passing (enter) the game balls The random number value MR1 for special view display result determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. , Until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). The reserve data thus stored in the second special view reserve storage unit indicates that the execution of the special view game using the second special view is suspended, and the variation display result in this special view game (special view display result It becomes reservation information which makes it possible to determine whether or not to be a big hit based on.

  The game ball has passed (entered) the hold information (first hold information) based on the establishment of the first start condition by the game ball having passed (entered) the first start winning opening, and the second start winning port. The common hold storage unit may store the hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start winning combination in association with the hold number. In this case, the start information may be included in the hold information indicating which of the first start winning opening and the second start winning opening has passed (entered) in the hold information, and may be stored in association with the hold number. .

  Although the game ball having passed the passing gate 113 SG 041 is detected by the gate switch 21, the common drawing reservation storage unit holds the common drawing game reservation information that has not yet been started by the normal symbol display 20, and the common drawing start Although the gaming ball that has won a prize in the winning opening 113SG042 is detected by the common drawing start opening switch 113SG024, storage information of a common drawing game not yet started by the normal symbol display 20 is stored. For example, the common drawing reservation storage unit is associated with the holding number in the order in which the game balls passed (winning) the passing gate 113SG041 or the common drawing start winning opening 113SG042, and the random number circuit 104 by the CPU 103 based on the passage of the game balls. Are stored as reserved data until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4").

  The game control flag setting unit is provided with a plurality of types of flags capable of updating the state according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like. For example, the game control flag setting unit stores, for each of a plurality of types of flags, data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the on state or the off state.

For example, the game control counter setting unit stores data indicating count values of each of a plurality of types of counters. Here, the game control counter setting unit may be provided with a random counter for causing the CPU 103 to update a part or all of the game random numbers by software.

  In the random counter of the game control counter setting unit, random number values not generated by the random number circuit 104, for example, numerical data indicating random number values MR2 to MR4 are stored as random count values, and periodically according to execution of software by CPU 103 Numerical data indicating each random value is updated regularly or irregularly. The software executed by the CPU 103 to update the random count value may be for updating the random count value separately from the update operation of the numerical data in the random number circuit 104, or may be extracted from the random number circuit 104. The random count value may be updated by performing predetermined processing such as scrambling processing or arithmetic processing on all or part of the numerical data.

  The game control buffer setting unit is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the game control buffer setting unit stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-2, on the main substrate 11 in the feature portion of the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided via the terminal substrate 113SG016 provided on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. An information output circuit 113 SG 112 for outputting various signals to a management apparatus such as a management computer of the game arcade, a data lamp provided in one-to-one correspondence with the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the like are also mounted.

  The terminal board 113SG016 is provided with a plurality of terminals for outputting signals, and different signals are respectively output from the terminals. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-8, the prize ball signal from the terminal 1, the door open signal from the terminal 2, the all symbol decision signal from the terminal 3, the all start winning opening signal from the terminal 4, the terminal From 5 a large hit 1 signal, a terminal 6 a large hit 2 signal, a terminal 7 a large hit 3 signal, a terminal 8 a special symbol confirmation signal, a terminal 9 a winning signal and a terminal 10 a security signal It is supposed to be.

  Among these signals, the winning ball signal is a signal that is output over 0.1 seconds every time 10 winning balls are paid out, and the door open signal is output during opening of the gaming machine frame 3 (game This signal is output from the timing when the machine frame 3 is opened to the timing when it is closed, and all symbol confirmation signals are 0.5 seconds for every stop of the special symbol (0.8 seconds in the high base state) The all start winning opening signal is a signal that is output for 0.1 seconds each time a game ball wins on the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening. The jackpot 1 signal is a signal outputted during the jackpot game (output from the start timing to the end timing of the jackpot game), and the jackpot 2 signal is outputted during the jackpot middle and high base state (first hit) Uncertainty from the start timing of the jackpot game The jackpot 3 signal is outputted during the high base state) (The jackpot is the next big hit game from the jackpot game end timing of the big hit) Is output from the end timing of the big hit game of the non-probable variation big hit to the timing when the variable display of 100 times is finished).

  Although the feature of this embodiment exemplifies a mode in which different signals can be output from the terminals of the terminal substrate 113SG016, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specification of the terminal substrate 113SG016 is not limited thereto. A plurality of signals (for example, all symbol determination signals and special symbol determination signals) may be able to be output from the terminal of.

  Furthermore, the special symbol confirmation signal is the case where the fluctuation display result until the end of the 32 fluctuation display after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A is lost (that is, the fluctuation display result is lost in the special zone) Except for the special symbol stop for each 0.5 seconds (0.8 seconds in the case of high base status) is a signal that is output for a while, the winning signal is a prize according to the winning game ball to all winning openings It is a signal output over 0.1 seconds for every 10 spheres.

  In addition, the security signal is 30 seconds from the timing when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, and 240 seconds from the time when the abnormal winning is detected, 240 seconds from the time when the magnetic abnormality is detected until the power is turned off This signal is output for 240 seconds from the timing when the power is turned on and for 240 seconds from the timing when the switch abnormality is detected.

  The all symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal in the feature portion of the present embodiment are both signals for notifying the external device of the pachinko gaming machine 1 that the special symbol has stopped, The external device for notification is different between the symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal. Specifically, the entire symbol determination signal is a signal output to a management apparatus such as a management computer of the game arcade provided with the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the special symbol determination signal is the pachinko gaming machine 1 And a signal output to a data ramp provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

  In the present embodiment, an award ball signal, a door open signal, an all symbol confirmation signal, an all start winning opening signal, a big hit 1 signal, a big hit 2 signal, a big hit 3 signal, a special symbol confirmed signal, a win signal from the terminal substrate 113SG016. Although the embodiment in which the security signal can be output is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the terminal board 113SG016 may enter (win) each winning opening or out opening. It may be possible to output an out signal for 0.1 seconds every time the gaming balls discharged from the pachinko gaming machine 1 reach 10 balls.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature portion of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-9 is a flow chart showing an example of a game control timer interrupt process in the characterizing portion of the present embodiment. After executing the switch processing (S21) and the main side error processing (S22) in the game control timer interrupt processing, the CPU 103 executes a prize ball processing (113SGS 22a) for paying out a prize ball. In the prize ball processing, the CPU 103 controls the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, the first count switch 113SG023A, the second count switch 113SG023B, the third count switch 113SG023C, and the fourth count switch 113SG023D in switch processing. Among them, a prize ball is paid out according to the switch that has received the detection signal, and transmission setting of a prize ball number notification command according to the number of prize balls paid out is performed. Thereafter, the information output process (S23), the game random number update process (S24), the special symbol process process (S25), the normal symbol process process (S26), and the command control process (S27) may be executed.

  8-10 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. In the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 first refers to a value set in a special zone counter described later, and determines whether or not the special zone is in progress (113SGS 161). If the special zone is not in progress (113 SGS 161; N), the processing proceeds to 13 SGS 168. If the special zone is in progress (113 SGS 161: Y), it is determined whether the big hit flag is set (113 SGS 162). If the big hit flag is not set (113SGS162; N), it proceeds to 113 SGS 166, and if the big hit flag is set (113 SGS 162; Y), it determines whether or not the big hit type of the big hit is the definite variation big hit A (113 SGS 163).

  If the big hit type of the big hit is the definite variation big hit A (113 SGS 163; Y), select the variation pattern determination table for the probability variation big hit A in the special zone and proceed to 113 SGS 180 (113 SGS 164). If it is a non-probable variation big hit (113 SGS 163; N), the variation pattern determination table for the big variation B for non-probability variation big hit in the special zone according to the value of the special zone counter is selected to proceed to 113 SGS 180 (113 SGS 165).

  When the big hit flag is not set in 113 SGS 162 (113 SGS 162; N), it is further determined whether the small hit flag is set (113 SGS 166). If the small hit flag is not set (113SGS166; N), select the variation pattern determination table for loss during the special zone, proceed to 113SGS 180 (113SGS167), and if the small hit flag is set, proceed to 113SGS 171 .

  On the other hand, if the special zone is not in the 113 SGS 161, that is, if the special zone counter is set to “0” (113 SGS 161; N), it is determined whether the big hit flag is set (113 SGS 168). If the big hit flag is set (113 SGS 168; Y), select the variation pattern determination table for non-special zone medium hit and proceed to 113 SGS 180 (113 SGS 169), if the big hit flag is not set (113 SGS 168; N) It is determined whether the small hit flag is set (113SGS 170). If the small hit flag is set (113 SGS 170; Y), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 171. Then, in 113 SGS 171, the small hit variation pattern determination table is selected, and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 180.

  When the small hit flag is not set in the 113 SGS 170 (113 SGS 170; N), it is determined whether the time saving flag is set (113 SGS 172). If the time saving flag is set (113SGS172; Y), the loss change pattern determination table D is selected and the process proceeds to 113SGS 180 (113SGS173). If the time saving flag is not set (113SGS172; N), It is determined whether the total number of pending storages is two or more (113SGS 174). If the total number of pending storages is 1 or less (113 SGS 174; N), the loss change pattern determination table A to be described later is selected to proceed to 113 SGS 180 (113 SGS 175). The total number of pending storages is 2 or more (113 SGS 174; N) The 113SGS 174; Y) further determines whether the total number of pending storages is five or not (113SGS 176).

  If the total number of pending storages is 4 or less (113 SGS 176; N), the loss change pattern determination table B to be described later is selected to proceed to 113 SGS 180 (113 SGS 177). The 113SGS 176; Y) selects the fluctuation pattern determination table C for loss to be described later, and proceeds to the 113SGS 180.

  Then, the 113 SGS 180 refers to the selected fluctuation pattern determination table based on, for example, numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination stored in the fluctuation random number buffer etc., for example. One of them is determined (S170).

  In the change pattern determination table A for loss, the change pattern of non-reach loss without shortening (PA1-1), the change pattern of normal reach loss in non-special zone (PA2-1), the super in non-special zone For the fluctuation pattern of reach α loss (PA2-2) and the fluctuation pattern of super reach β loss in non-special zone (PA2-3), a predetermined disturbance in the range that random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination can take A numerical value is assigned as a judgment value. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table B for loss, the fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss of shortening (PA1-2) corresponding to the total number of reserved memories corresponding to 2 to 4 and the fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss in the non-special zone (PA2) -1), fluctuation pattern of variation in super reach α loss in non-special zone (PA2-2), fluctuation pattern of variation in super reach β loss in non-special zone (PA2-3) for fluctuation pattern determination A predetermined random number value in the range that can be taken by the numerical value MR3 is assigned as the determination value. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table C for loss, the fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss of shortening (PA1-3) corresponding to the total reserved memory number of 5 to 8 and the fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss in the non-special zone (PA2 -1), fluctuation pattern of variation in super reach α loss in non-special zone (PA2-2), fluctuation pattern of variation in super reach β loss in non-special zone (PA2-3) for fluctuation pattern determination A predetermined random number value in the range that can be taken by the numerical value MR3 is assigned as the determination value. Also, in the fluctuation pattern determination table D for loss, the fluctuation pattern (PA 1-4) of non-reach loss of shortening corresponding to time-shortening control (during high base including special zone), fluctuation of normal reach loss in non-special zone Pattern (PA2-1), fluctuation pattern of super reach α loss in non special zone (PA2-2), fluctuation pattern judgment for super reach β loss fluctuation pattern in non special zone (PA2-3) A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value within the range that can be taken by the random number value MR3 for use.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-5, the fluctuation time of the non-reach loss fluctuation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than that of the non-reach loss fluctuation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening, and the fluctuation pattern (PA1) is further reduced. The variation time is shorter in the non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-3) than in 2). Therefore, when the number of pending storages increases, the non-reach losing variation pattern is determined with a short variation time, so that the pending storage is easily digested, and the number of pending storages reaches the upper limit number of 4 When start winning is achieved, it becomes difficult to generate useless starting winning without holding memory, and when the number of holding memories decreases, fluctuation pattern of non-reach lose without long shortening of fluctuation time ( By determining PA1-1), the time for the variable display becomes long, and it is possible to prevent the decrease in interest of the game due to the non-execution of the variable display.

  Also, in the variation pattern determination table for the non-special zone middle hit, the variation pattern for normal reach big hit in the non special zone (PB1-1), and the variation pattern for super reach α big hit in the non special zone (PB1-2) For the variation pattern (PB1-3) of the super reach β big hit in the non-special zone, a predetermined random value is allocated as a determination value within the range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination.

  Further, in the small hit variation pattern determination table, all random number values in the range that can be taken by the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination are assigned as determination values to the variation pattern PE1-1 per special (small hit). It is done.

  Further, in the variation pattern determination table for the probability variation big hit A in the special zone, all the variations in the range which the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take for the variation pattern (PC1-1) of the big hit in the special zone A numerical value is assigned as a judgment value. Further, in the variation pattern determination table for loss in the special zone, the fluctuation for the variation pattern determination with respect to the shortened non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-4) corresponding to the time-shortening control (during the high base including the special zone) All random numbers within the range that can be taken by the numerical value MR3 are assigned as judgment values.

  Then, in the special zone, the probability variation big hit B / non probability variation big hit variation pattern determination table in each special zone, as shown in FIG. 8-11, a plurality of variation patterns (PD1-1 to PD1-32) for executing the pseudo series effect. Among the variation patterns in the special zone, one random pattern corresponding to the number of variations (the value of the special zone counter), all random values within the range that the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take are assigned as determination values. There is.

  In other words, in the special zone during the special zone when the value of the special zone counter is “32” (the first change in the special zone), the pseudo series effect is executed 32 times in the variation pattern determination table for probability variation big hit B and non probability variation big hit. When all the random numbers are assigned as judgment values within the range that random number MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment can take to the fluctuation pattern (PD 1-32) of the big hit, and the value of the special zone counter is "31" (The second variation in the special zone) In the variation zone of the special zone during the probability variation big hit B and the non probability variation big hit for the special zone, the variation is made with respect to the variation pattern (PD1-31) of executing the pseudo-series effect 31 times All random numbers within the range that can be taken by random number MR3 for pattern judgment are assigned as judgment values. If the value of the special zone counter is “30” (the third change in the special zone), the pseudo variation effect is executed 30 times in the variation pattern determination table for the probability variation big hit B and the non probability variation big hit in the special zone All random numbers are assigned as judgment values within the range that random number MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment can take to fluctuation pattern (PD1-30) of the big hit, and the value of special zone counter is "1". In the special zone during the special zone (the 32nd variation in the special zone), the variation pattern determination table for the probability variation big hit B and the non probability variation big hit for the big hit variation pattern (PD1-1) in which the pseudo-series effect is executed once All random numbers within the range that random number MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment can take are assigned as judgment values. .

  For this reason, in the first variation display in the special zone, when the variation display result is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the definite variation big hit B or the non definite variation big hit, the pseudo display effect of 32 times is executed in the image display device 5 If the decorative pattern is derived and displayed in combination showing the probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit later, the variation display result is big hit in the second variation display in the special zone and the big hit type becomes the probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit After 31 pseudo-series effects are executed in the image display device 5, the decorative design is derived and displayed in combination showing the probability variation big hit B and the non probability variation big hit, and the variation display result is the big hit in the third variation display in the special zone And when the jackpot type becomes a definite variation big hit B or a non definite variation big hit, the simulated display effect of 30 times is performed in the image display device 5 After being done, the decorative design is derived and displayed in a combination showing the definite variation big hit B and the non definite variation big hit ... The variation display result in the 32nd variation display in the special zone is the big hit and the big hit type is the definite variation big hit B and the non definite variation big hit In this case, after one pseudo continuous effect is executed in the image display device 5, the decorative symbol is derived and displayed in combination showing the probability variation big hit B and the non probability variation big hit.

  As described above, in the feature part of the present embodiment, when the variation pattern is determined in the variation display in the low probability low base condition in the gaming state, the variation pattern determination table for the big hit in the non-special zone The variation pattern is determined by selecting any of the variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern determination table A for loss, the variation pattern determination table B for loss, and the variation pattern determination table C for loss.

  Also, in the high probability high base state after the big hit game of the big variation A, if you decide the variation pattern in the first to 32nd variation display (during the special zone) after the big hit game, the big variation in the special zone A variation pattern determination table for A, a special zone in a special zone according to the value of the special zone, a variation pattern determination table for non probability variation big hit B, a non probability variation big hit, a variation pattern determination table for small hits, a variation pattern determination table for loss in special zone If you want to determine the fluctuation pattern in the 33rd and subsequent fluctuation display (during the non special zone) after the big hit game end, the fluctuation pattern judgment table for the non special zone middle hit pattern fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation pattern for the small hit Judgment table, change pattern judgment for lost Select one of the table D to determine the variation pattern.

  In addition, when you decide the fluctuation pattern in the high probability high base state after the big hit game end of the definite variation big hit B or the low probability high base state after the big hit game termination of the non probability change big hit, the variation pattern judgment table for non special zone middle hit The variation pattern is determined by selecting one of the small hit variation pattern determination table and the loss variation pattern determination table D.

  That is, in the high base state in the feature portion 4 of the present embodiment, there is a change pattern determination table that can be selected to determine the change pattern according to the big hit type of the big hit game that triggered the high base state. It may be different.

  In the first to 32nd variable displays (during the special zone) after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A in the characteristic part 4 of this embodiment, as shown in the processing of 113 SGS 164, the value of the special zone counter. Accordingly, the variation pattern determination table is switched as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and instead of the special zone counter, a counter for counting the number of variations since the end of the big hit game is provided. In the processing of 113 SGS 164 after the big hit game end of the big hit A, the variation pattern determination table may be switched according to the value of the counter.

  In the feature of this embodiment, when the variation display results in the variation display in the special zone as a big hit and the big hit type becomes the probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit, the variation display in the special zone in the variation display. Although the embodiment has been described in which the different types of pseudo-series effects are performed according to the number of times, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display is performed in the variable display within a predetermined predetermined range in the special zone If the result is a big hit and the big hit type becomes a definite big hit B or a non-probable big hit, always execute a specified number of pseudo-series effects in the variable display (for example, a variable display result in the first variable display in the special zone If the big hit and the big hit type become a definite big hit B or a non-probable big hit, 32 pseudo-series renditions are performed in the variable display. If the variation display result is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the definite variation big hit B or non definite variation big hit in the second to eleventh variation displays in the special zone, 31 pseudo-series effects are executed and the special zone Pseudo-series stored in the RAM 122, etc., if the variable display result is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the definite variation big hit B or the non definite variation big hit in the 12th to 21st variable display, etc. The data volume for presentation may be reduced.

  Referring back to FIGS. 8-10, after the fluctuation pattern is determined at 113 SGS 180, a special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A according to the fluctuation special drawing designation buffer value, and the second In order to start one of the special drawing games using the second special view in the special symbol display device 4B, setting for starting the change of the special symbol is performed (113 SGS 181). As an example, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

  Following the processing of 113 SGS 181, setting is performed to transmit various commands used for starting the variation of the special symbol (113 SGS 182). For example, when the fluctuation special view designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to issue a game state designation command to the effect control board 12, a first fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a fluctuation display result. Setting data indicating the storage address (head address) in the ROM 101 of the first variation start command table prepared in advance is transmitted to the game control buffer setting unit in order to sequentially transmit the designated command and the first pending storage number notification command. It is stored in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special drawing designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to issue a game state designation command to the effect control board 12, a second fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a fluctuation display result. In order to sequentially transmit a designated command and a second pending storage number notification command, setting data indicating a storage address in the ROM 101 of the second variation start command table prepared in advance is designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. In the buffer area.

  After the processing of 113 SGS 182 is executed, the special figure fluctuation time which is the fluctuation display time of the special symbol according to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern is set (113 SGS 183). The special figure fluctuation time that is the special symbol fluctuation display time is the time required from the start of the special symbol fluctuation in the special drawing game until the finalized special symbol that is the fluctuation display result (special figure display result) is derived and displayed It is. Thereafter, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “2” which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation processing (113 SGS 184), and the variation pattern setting processing is ended.

  FIGS. 8-12 is a flowchart which shows an example of the process performed by S113 of FIG. 5 as special symbol stop processing. In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 sets the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation process of S113 to end the variation of the special symbol, and stops at the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B Control for deriving and displaying a symbol is performed (113 SGS 201). In addition, when the fluctuation special drawing specification buffer value is “1” indicating the first special drawing, the fluctuation of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is ended, and the fluctuation special drawing specification buffer value is In the case of "2" indicating the second special figure, the variation of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is ended. Further, control is performed to transmit a symbol determination command to the effect control board 12 (113 SGS 202). Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set (113 SGS 203), and when the big hit flag is not set (113 SGS 203; N), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 211.

  On the other hand, if the big hit flag is set (113 SGS 203; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability change flag and the time saving flag (113 SGS 204) if the probability changing flag or the time saving flag is set. Depending on the type of jackpot stored, to send either a start 1 specified command (certain variation big hit A), a start 2 designated command (certain variation big hit B), or a start 3 designated command (non definite variation big hit) Setting (113 SGS 205).

  Furthermore, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a gaming state designating command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (113SGS 206).

  Then, a value corresponding to the big hit display time (for example, a time for notifying that the big hit has occurred in the image display device 5) is set in the big hit display time timer (113 SGS 207). Further, the number of opening times (for example, 16 times in the case of probability variation big hit A, 5 times in probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit) is set in the special winning opening open frequency counter (113 SGS 208). Then, after setting for outputting the full symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal from the terminal substrate 113SG016 via the information output circuit 113SG112 (113SGS209), the value of the special symbol process flag is subjected to a big hit opening pre-processing (S114) The special symbol stop process is ended by updating to "4" which is a value corresponding to (113 SGS 210).

  On the other hand, in the 113SGS 211, the CPU 103 determines whether the value of the time reduction counter is “0”. When the value of the time saving number counter is “0” (113 SGS 211; Y), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 216.

  On the other hand, when the value of the time reduction counter is not “0” (113 SGS 211; N), that is, in the high base state in which the time reduction remains, the value of the time reduction counter is decremented by 1 (113 SGS 212) . Then, it is judged whether or not the value of the time reduction counter after subtraction is “0” (113 SGS 213), and if it is not “0” (113 SGS 213; N), the processing proceeds to 113 SGS 216 and the value of the time reduction counter is “0 "" (113 SGS 213; Y), after the time reduction flag is cleared to end time reduction control (113 SGS 214), the gaming state (specifically, low probability) corresponding to the set state of the probability change flag or the time reduction flag After the transmission setting of the game state designation command corresponding to the low base) is performed (113 SGS 215), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 216.

  The 113 SGS 216 determines whether the value of the special zone counter is “0”. If the value of the special zone counter is any of 1 to 32 (113 SGS 216; N), the value of the special zone counter is decremented by 1 (113 SGS 217). Then, it is determined whether the value of the special zone counter after subtraction is "0" (113 SGS 218), and when the value of the special zone counter after subtraction is "0" (113 SGS 218; Y), the special zone After transmission setting of the end notification command is performed, the process proceeds to 113 SGS 220 (113 SGS 219). If the value of the special zone counter after subtraction is not “0” (113 SGS 218; N), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 220 without performing 113 SGS 219.

  Then, in 113 SGS 220, the CPU 103 performs setting for outputting the entire symbol determination signal from the terminal substrate 113 SG 0 16 via the information output circuit 113 SG 112 (113 SGS 220), and proceeds to 113 S GS 22. When the value of the special zone counter is "0" in 113 SGS 216 (113 SGS 216; Y), the setting for outputting all symbol determination signals and special symbol determination signals from terminal substrate 113 SG 0 16 via information output circuit 113 SG 112 Do (113 SGS 221) and proceed to 113 SGS 22.

  In 113 SGS 222, the CPU 103 determines whether the small hit flag is set or not (113 SGS 222). When the small hit flag is set (113 SGS 222; Y), the setting for transmitting the hit start 4 designated command (small hit) is performed (113 SGS 223). Then, the small hit display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the small hit display time (for example, a time for notifying that the small hit has occurred in the image display device 5) (113 SGS 224). Further, the opening number (for example, two times) is set in the special winning opening opening number counter (113SGS 225). The value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "8" which is a value corresponding to the small hit opening pre-processing (S118), and the special symbol stop processing is ended (113 SGS 226).

  In addition, when the small hit flag is not set in 113 SGS 22 (113 SGS 22; N), the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “0” corresponding to the special symbol normal processing (S 110), and the special symbol stops The process ends (113 SGS 228).

  By executing the special symbol stop process as described above, in the feature portion of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. Regardless of whether it is or not, both the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are output from the terminal substrate 113SG0 16 at the timing when the variation of the special symbol stops.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8-13 (B) and 8-13 (C), when the variation display result is lost or a small hit in the special zone, at the timing when the variation display of the special symbol is stopped. When only the entire symbol determination signal is output from the terminal board 113SG016, but the variation display result is lost or a small hit in the non-special zone (outside the special zone), the terminal substrate 113SG016 at the timing when the variation display of the special symbol stops Both the complete symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are output from.

  In the feature of this embodiment, when the variation display result is a small hit in the special zone, only the entire symbol determination signal is output from terminal substrate 113SG016 at the timing when the variation display of the special symbol is stopped. The present invention is not limited to this, and when the variation display result is a small hit in the special zone, all symbols from the terminal board 113SG016 at the timing when the variation display of the special symbol is stopped Both the determination signal and the special symbol determination signal may be output.

  8-14 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 5 as the big hit end process.

  In the big hit end process, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the big hit end display timer is operating, that is, the timer is counting (113 SGS 231). When the big hit end display timer is not in operation (113 SGS 231; N), a value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the big hit end display time on the image display device 5 (big hit end display time) in the big hit end display timer The setting is made (113 SGS 232), and the big hit end process is ended.

  On the other hand, when the big hit end display timer is operating (113SGS 231; Y), the value of the big hit end display timer is decremented by 1 (113 SGS 233). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the big hit end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big hit end display time has elapsed (113 SGS 234). If it has not elapsed (113 SGS 234; N), the big hit end processing ends.

  If the big hit end display time has elapsed (113 SGS 234; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether the stored big hit type is the probability variation big hit A or the probability variation big hit B (113 SGS 235).

  If the jackpot type is the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B (113 SGS 235; Y), set the definite variation flag (113 SGS 238), set the short time flag (113 SGS 239), and set "0" in the hour counter. 113 SGS 240). Furthermore, it is determined whether or not the jackpot type is a definite variation big hit A (113 SGS 241). If the jackpot type is definite variation big hit B (113 SGS 241; N), proceed to 113 SGS 244, and if the big hit classification is definite variation big hit A (113 SGS 241; Y), set 32 in the special zone counter (113 SGS 242) The transmission setting of the special zone start notification command is performed, and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 244 (133 SGS 243).

  On the other hand, if the big hit type in 113 SGS 235 is non-probable variation big hit (113 SGS 235; Y; N), the short time flag is set and "100" is set in the short time counter and then the process proceeds to 113 SGS 244 (113 SGS 236, 113 SGS 237).

  Then, the 113 SGS 244 clears the big hit flag, and performs transmission setting of the big hit end designation command according to the big hit type (113 SGS 245). Then, after the transmission setting of the game state specification command for notifying the game control state 12 of the game state based on the set probability change flag and the short time flag (113 SGS 246), the special figure process flag is processed as a special symbol normal Is updated to “0” which is a value corresponding to B, and the big hit end processing is ended (113 SGS 247).

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIGS. 8-15 are flowcharts showing an example of the process executed in S75 of FIG. 6 as the command analysis process. In the command analysis process shown in FIG. 8-15, the effect control CPU 120 first receives from the main substrate 11 transmitted via the relay substrate 15 by confirming the storage content of the effect control command reception buffer or the like. It is determined whether there is a command (113SGS 251). At this time, if there is no reception command (113SGS 251; N), the command analysis processing is ended.

  If there is a receive command at 113 SGS 251 (113 SGS 151; Y), for example, by checking the MODE data of the receive command, it is determined whether the receive command is the first starting opening winning a prize designation command (113 SGS 252 ). Then, when it is the first starting opening winning combination designation command (113 SGS 252; Y), the first hold storage number notification waiting time is set (113 SGS 253). For example, in the processing of 113 SGS 253, the command reception control provided in the effect control timer setting unit provided in the RAM 122 or the like is a timer initial value predetermined corresponding to the reception waiting time of the first hold storage number notification command. It may be set to the timer.

  If the received command is not the first starting opening winning combination designation command at 113 SGS 252 (113 SGS 252; N), it is determined whether the received command is the second starting opening winning combination designation command (113 SGS 254). Then, when it is the second starting opening winning combination designating command (113 SGS 254; Y), the second holding storage number notification waiting time is set (113 SGS 255). For example, in the processing of 113 SGS 255, a timer initial value predetermined corresponding to the reception waiting time of the second pending storage count notification command may be set in the command reception control timer provided in the RAM 122 or the like.

  When the received command is not the second starting opening winning combination designating command at 113 SGS 254 (113 SGS 254; N), it is determined whether the received command is the first hold storage number notifying command (113 SGS 256). Then, when it is the first pending storage number notification command (113 SGS 256; Y), for example, the first pending storage number notification waiting time is set by initializing the clock operation by the command reception control timer provided in the RAM 122 Clear it (113 SGS 257).

  If the received command is not the first pending storage number notification command in 113 SGS 256 (113 SGS 256; N), it is determined whether the receiving command is the second pending storage number notification command (113 SGS 258). Then, when it is the second pending storage number notification command (113 SGS 258; Y), the second pending storage number notification waiting time is cleared by, for example, initializing the clock operation by the command reception control timer (113 SGS 259).

  Then, after executing any of the processes of 113 SGS 253, 113 SGS 255, 113 SGS 257, 113 SGS 259, the received command is stored in the start winning reception command buffer provided in the RAM 122 etc., and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 251.

  On the other hand, if the received command is not the second pending storage number notification command at 113 SGS 258 (113 SGS 258; N), it is determined whether the received command is the special zone start notification command (113 SGS 260). If the reception command is a special zone start notification command (113 SGS 260; Y), the in-special zone flag indicating that the special zone is in place is set, and the first hold storage display area displayed on the image display device 5 The 113SG005D and the second hold storage display area 113SG005U are not displayed (113SGS261, 113SGS262), and the process proceeds to the 113SGS 251.

  If the received command is not the special zone start notification command in 113 SGS 260 (113 SGS 260; N), it is determined whether the received command is the special zone end notification command (113 SGS 264). If the received command is a special zone end notification command (113SGS 264; Y), the in-special zone flag is cleared and a special zone end flag indicating that the special zone has ended is set (113 SGS 265, 113 SGS 267). Also, the display of the first hold storage display area 113SG005D and the second hold storage display area 113SG005U in the image display device 5 is started, and the process proceeds to 113SGS 251 (113SGS268).

  If the received command is not the special zone end command at 113 SGS 264 (113 SGS 264; N), the setting according to the received command is performed and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 251 (113 SGS 271).

  FIG. 8-16 is a flowchart showing a part of the effect control process (S75) in the effect control main process. In the effect control process, after the effect control CPU 120 executes the pre-reading notice setting process (S161), the pending storage display displayed in the first pending storage display area 113SG005D or the second pending storage display area 113SG005U is updated. Update display process (113 SGS 281) for displaying the award ball number display process (113 SGS 282) for displaying the award balls paid out to the image display device 5, and the number of paid prize balls determined in advance After executing the prize ball number notification effect execution process (113 SGS 283) for executing the prize ball number notification effect to notify that the number (for example, 5000 balls or 10000 balls etc.) is reached, S170 to S177 (figure Execute one of the processes in 7).

  FIG. 8-17 is a flowchart of the number-of-winning-balls display processing (113SGS 282) in the effect control process. In the prize ball number display process, the CPU 120 for production control first adds up all the prize ball numbers (winning balls paid out by winnings to the large winning opening, each start winning hole, and the general winning hole) in the consecutive villas It is determined whether or not the value of the first award ball number counter, which is a counter to be displayed, is being displayed on the image display device 5 (113 SGS 301). When the value of the first prize ball number counter is not displayed on the image display device 5 (113 SGS 301; N), whether or not the value of the effect process flag is "6", that is, it is in the big hit game It is determined whether or not it is (113 SGS 302). When the value of the effect process flag is one of “0” to “5” and “7” (113 SGS 302; N), the winning ball number display process is ended, and the value of the effect process flag is “6” (113 SGS 302; Y) determines whether or not the jackpot type is the probability variation big hit A (113 SGS 303). When the jackpot type is a definite variation big hit A (113 SGS 303; Y), the display of the values of the first prize ball number counter and the second prize ball number counter on the image display device 5 is started and the prize ball number display process is ended. (113 SGS 304). The second prize ball number counter is the number of prize balls paid out during a big hit game of a definite variation big hit A (a prize ball paid out by winning a prize winning opening, each starting winning opening, and a general winning winning opening) And a counter for counting the number of award balls paid out in the special zone (a prize ball paid out by winning in a large winning opening, each start winning opening, and a general winning opening).

  On the other hand, if the big hit type is not a definite variation big hit A (113 SGS 303; N), it is determined whether the big hit type is a true variation big hit B (113 SGS 305). When the jackpot type is the probability variation big hit B (113 SGS 305; Y), the display of the value of the first prize ball number counter on the image display device 5 is started and the prize ball number display processing is ended (113 SGS 306). If the big hit type is non-probable variation big hit (113 SGS 305; N), the number of prize balls is not started without displaying the value of the first prize ball number counter or the value of the first prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 End the display process.

  When the value of the first prize ball number counter is being displayed in 113 SGS 301 (113 SGS 301; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the value of the effect process flag is “6” or “7”, that is, Then, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is being played (113 SGS 307). When the value of the effect process flag is “6” or “7” (113 SGS 307; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the award ball number notification command reception flag is set, that is, the award ball number notification command Is determined (113 SGS 308). If the award ball number notification command reception flag is not set (113 SGS 308; N), the number of award ball number display processing is ended, and if the award number of ball notification command reception flag is set (113 SGS 308; Y), the reception is said The number of winning balls is specified from the winning ball number notification command (113 SGS 309).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the second prize ball number counter is being displayed in the image display device 5 (113 SGS 310). When the value of the second prize ball number counter is being displayed in the image display device 5 (113 SGS 310; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines the number of prize balls specified in 113 SG 309 as the first prize ball number counter and the second prize ball. While adding to the number counter, the values of the first award ball number counter and the second award ball number counter displayed on the image display device 5 are updated and displayed (113SGS 311, 113SGS 312). Then, it proceeds to 113 SGS 315.

  When the value of the second prize ball number counter is not being displayed (113 SGS 310; N), the effect control CPU 120 adds the number of prize balls specified in 113 SGS 309 to the first prize ball number counter and the image display device 5 The value of the first award ball number counter displayed on the screen is updated and displayed (113SGS313, 113SGS314). Then, it proceeds to 113 SGS 315.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 clears the award ball number notification command reception flag in 113 SGS 315, and ends the award ball number display process (113 SGS 315).

  In addition, when the value of the rendering process flag in the 113 SGS 307 is any of “0” to “5” (113 SGS 307; N), the CPU 120 for rendering control determines whether or not the special zone flag is set ( 113 SGS 316). If the special zone flag is set (113SGS316; Y), the processing of 113SG308 to 113SG315 is executed, and if the special zone flag is not set (113SGS316; N), the game state is specified (113SGS317 ). Then, it is determined whether or not the gaming state specified in the 113 SGS 317 is the high base state (113 SGS 318).

  If the gaming state is the high base state (113 SGS 318; Y), it is determined whether the value of the second prize ball number counter is being displayed on the image display device 5 (113 SGS 319). When the value of the second award ball number counter is being displayed on the image display device 5 (113 SGS 319; Y), the display of the value of the second award ball number counter on the image display device 5 is ended and The value of the ball number counter is reset to "0" and the process proceeds to 113 SG 322 (113 SGS 320, 113 SGS 321). That is, in the feature portion of the present embodiment, the counting of the winning balls in the second winning ball number counter is finished at the timing when the special zone is finished, and the value 113SG005B of the second winning ball number counter in the image display device 5 It is supposed to end the display. When the value of the second prize ball number counter is not being displayed on the image display device 5 (113SGS319; N), the processing proceeds to 113SGS 322 without executing the processing of 113SGS 320 and 113SGS 321.

  That is, the second prize ball number counter in the present embodiment starts counting of the prize balls from the big hit game start timing of the probability variation big hit A, and the gaming state is controlled to the big hit gaming state of the probability variation big hit in the special zone It continues the count of the prize balls as it is, but when the special zone ends (when the fluctuation display of 32 times after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A ends), it is the counter which finishes the count of the prize balls .

  In 113 SGS 322, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the prize ball number notification command reception flag is set (113 SGS 322). If the award ball number notification command reception flag is not set (113SGS 322; N), the number of award ball number display processing is ended, and if the award number of balls notification command reception flag is set (113 SGS 322; Y), the reception is said The number of winning balls is specified from the winning ball number notification command (113 SGS 323). Then, the effect control CPU 120 adds the number of winning balls specified in 113 SG 323 to the first winning ball number counter, and updates and displays the value of the first winning ball number counter displayed on the image display device 5 (113 SGS 324 , 113 SGS 325), clears the winning ball number notification command reception flag, and ends the winning ball number display process (113 SGS 326). That is, in the feature portion of the present embodiment, the counting of the award balls in the first award ball number counter is finished at the timing when the high base state is finished, and the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 It is supposed to end the display of.

  In addition, when the gaming state is not the high base state in 113 SGS 318 (113 SGS 318; N), that is, when the gaming state becomes the low probability low base state based on the end of 100 variable display after the big hit game end Ends the display of the value of the first prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 and resets the value of the first prize ball number counter to “0” to end the prize ball number display process (113SGS327, 113SGS328) . That is, the first prize ball number counter in the present embodiment is a counter which counts the number of balls from the big hit game start timing at the first hit to the 100 variable display end timing after the big hit game end of the non probability variation big hit. is there.

  FIG. 8-18 is a flowchart showing the prize ball number notification effect execution process (113SGS 283) in the effect control process process. In the award ball number notification effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the process number timer for informing award number balls is operating (113 SGS 331). If the prize ball number notification effect process timer is not in operation (113 SGS 331; N), it is further determined whether the value of the first prize ball number counter is being displayed on the image display device 5 (113 SGS 332). When the value of the first prize ball number counter is not being displayed in the image display device 5 (113SGS 332; N), the prize ball number notification effect execution process is ended, and the value of the first prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 is If the display is in progress (113 SGS 332; Y), the value of the first prize ball number counter is specified (113 SGS 333).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the value of the first prize ball number counter identified in the 113 SGS 333 has reached a predetermined value (the notification start threshold, for example, 5000 or 10000). (113 SGS 334). If the value of the first prize ball number counter identified in 113 SGS 333 does not reach the notification start threshold (113 SGS 334; N), the award ball number informing effect execution processing is ended, and the value of the first prize ball number counter identified in 113 SGS 333 If the value has reached the notification start threshold (113 SGS 334; Y), a process table for the number of balls for notification effect presentation according to the notification start threshold is selected (113 SGS 334). Then, a process timer for informing prize number of balls is started (113SGS 335). In the feature portion of the present embodiment, the ROM 121 stores in advance a presentation process table for the presentation of the number-of-practices notification effects corresponding to the presentation of the number-of-pricing balls.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 follows the contents of the first process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, etc.) of the set award ball number notification effect process table, and the effect device (effect Control of the image display device 5 as a component, the game effect lamp 9 as a component for presentation, the speakers 8L and 8R as a component for presentation, etc. is started, and the award ball number notification effect execution process is ended (113SGS 336).

  In addition, when the process timer for the award ball number informing effect is being operated in 113 SGS 331 (113 SGS 331; Y), the value of the process timer for informing the number ball for award is decremented by 1 (113 SGS 337) It is determined whether the timer has timed out (113 SGS 338). When the award ball number notification effect process timer has timed out (113 SGS 338; Y), the award ball number notification effect process data is switched (113 SGS 339). That is, the process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value of the award ball number notification effect set next in the award ball number notification effect process table to the process timer (113 SGS 340). In addition, based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, etc. included in the process data set next to that, the control state for the rendering device (component for presentation) is changed (113 SGS 341). The ball number notification effect execution process is ended.

  In the 113SGS 338, when the process timer for the award ball number presentation effect has not timed out (113SGS 338; N), the effect device is controlled according to the process data corresponding to the process timer for the award ball number presentation effect (113SGS 342). The ball number notification effect execution process is ended.

  FIG. 8-19 is a flowchart of the variable display start setting process (S171) in the effect control process. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the first change start command reception flag is set (113 SGS 351). When the first change start command reception flag is set (113SGS 351; Y), it is associated with the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special view hold storage in the start winning reception command buffer The various command data and the various flags stored in the memory are shifted upward by one buffer number (113 SGS 352). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  When the first change start command reception flag is not set in 113 SGS 351 (113 SGS 351; N), it is determined whether the second change start command reception flag is set (113 SGS 353). If the second change start command reception flag is not set (113SGS353; N), the variable display start setting process is ended, and if the second change start command reception flag is set (113SGS353; Y), start The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” of the second special view reservation storage in the winning reception command buffer are advanced by one buffer number each Shift (113 SGS 354). The contents of the buffer number “2-0” are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  After the execution of the 113 SGS 352 or 113 SGS 354, the effect control CPU 120 reads out the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (113 SGS 355).

  Next, in accordance with the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command), the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol and the small symbol is determined (113SGS 356). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbols of the decorative symbol and the small symbol according to the display result designated by the display result designation command, and displays the data indicating the stop symbol of the determined decorative symbol and the small symbol. Store in the display result storage area.

  In the feature portion of the present embodiment, when the received variable display result specification command is the second variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the CPU 120 for effect control, for example, 3 symbols as a stop symbol Determines the combination of the decorative symbols (big hit symbols) that were aligned with “7”. In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, as a stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", It is determined from “combination of decorative designs such as“ 333 ”,“ 555 ”,“ 999 ”and the like. In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probable variable big hit, the effect control CPU 120, for example, as a stop design, the decorative design of 3 symbols aligned with even symbols Determine the combination (big hit design). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is a first variable display result specification command corresponding to a loss, a combination (loss symbol) of decorative symbols in which three symbols are uneven as a stop symbol is determined.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, random numbers for determining the stop symbols, and determines stop symbols in which data indicating combinations of decorative symbols and small symbols are associated with numerical values. The table may be used to determine the stop design of the decorative design and the small design. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating the combination of the decorative symbol and the small symbol corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the special zone end flag is set (113 SGS 357). If the special zone end flag is not set (113 SGS 357; N), it is further determined whether the special zone in flag is set (113 SGS 358). When the flag in the special zone is set (113SGS358; Y), if the decorative display is being displayed on the image display 5, the display setting of these decorative designs is performed and the process proceeds to 113SGS360 (113SGS359). If the in-special zone flag is not set (113 SGS 358; N), the processing proceeds to 113 SGS 360 without executing the processing of 113 SGS 359.

  On the other hand, when the special zone end flag is set in 113 SGS 357 (113 SGS 357; Y), the special zone end flag is cleared (113 SGS 361), and the special zone end notifying process table according to the variation pattern is selected (113 SGS 362). ). Then, the display of the first hold storage display area 113SG005D and the second hold storage display area 113SG005U in the image display device 5 is started (113SGS 363), and the image display device 5 is for non special zone (normal high base state). The display of the background image is started (113 SGS 364), and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 360.

  Next, in 113 SGS 360, CPU 120 for production control selects the production control pattern (process table) according to the fluctuation pattern specification command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (113SGS365).

  In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each lamp, and for controlling the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, etc. are sequentially arranged in time series in correspondence with each process data n (from 1 to N) There is.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays an image as an effect component according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) The control of the device 5, the various lamps as presentation parts, the speakers 8L and 8R as presentation parts, the operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (113SGS 336). For example, in order to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern on the image display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit 123. Further, in order to control various lamps to turn on / off, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. In addition, in order to perform audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13.

  In the feature of the present embodiment, the CPU 120 for effect control performs control so that the variation display of the decorative pattern is performed by the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern specification command one to one, but the CPU 120 for production control is controlled. The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the variation pattern specification command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (113 SGS 367). Further, a predetermined time is set to the fluctuation control timer (113 SGS 368). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left middle right decorative pattern to the VRAM every time the predetermined time passes, and the display control unit 123 writes the VRAM A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image according to the signal, whereby the variation of the decorative design is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the variable display effect process (S172) (113SGS369).

  FIG. 8-20 is a flowchart showing variable-display effect processing (S172) in the effect control process processing. In the variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the values of the process timer, the fluctuation time timer, and the fluctuation control timer by one (113 SGS 371, 113 SGS 372, and 113 SGS 373). Further, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the process timer has timed out (113 SGS 374). If the process timer has timed out (113 SGS 374), the process data is switched (113 SGS 375). That is, the process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table to the process timer (113 SGS 376). In addition, based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. which are set next, the control state for the rendering device (the components for presentation) is changed (113SGS377), 113SGS379 Go to On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out (113 SGS 374; N), according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.) The control of the rendering device (component for rendering) is executed (113SGS378), and the process proceeds to 113SGS379.

  Next, in the 113 SGS 379, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is a temporary symbol stop timing of the small symbol (113 SGS 379). If it is the temporary symbol stop timing of the small symbol, the small symbol is temporarily stopped with a combination indicating a loss as part of the pseudo connected effect, and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 381 (113 SGS 380). In addition, when it is not the temporary stop timing of a small symbol (113SGS379; N), it progresses to 113SGS381, without performing the process of 113SGS380.

  In 113 SGS 381, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is the start timing of the re-variation of the small symbol (113 SGS 381). When it is the start timing of the re-variation of small symbols (113 SGS 381; Y), the re-variation of the small symbols temporarily stopped is started as part of the pseudo-sequence effect (113 SGS 382). Then, it is determined whether the re-variation is the final re-variation start timing (113SGS 383). When it is the last re-variation start timing (113 SGS 383; Y), the effect control CPU 120 starts displaying the first hold storage display area 113SGS 005 D and the second hold storage display area 113 SGS 005 U in the image display device 5 (113 SGS 384) The display of the background image for the non-special zone (normal high base state) is started in the image display device 5 (113 SGS 385). In addition, the display of the value of the second prize ball number counter displayed on the image display device 5 is ended (113 SGS 386), and the value of the second prize ball number counter is reset to “0” and the process proceeds to 113 SGS 389 (113 SGS 387). ).

  In addition, when it is not the re-variation start timing of a small symbol in 113 SGS 381 (113 SGS 381; N), and it is not the last re-variation start timing in 113 S S S 383 (113 S S S 383; N), CPU120 for production control executes special zone end informing effect execution mentioned later It is determined whether it is during a period (113 SGS 388). If the special zone end notification effect execution period is underway (113 SGS 388; Y), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 389, and if the special zone end notification effect execution period is not underway (113 SGS 388; N), the process proceeds to 113 SGS 390.

  In 113 SGS 398, the effect control CPU 120 executes a special zone end notification effect execution process for executing a special zone end notification effect for notifying that the special zone has ended (113 SGS 389), and proceeds to 113 SGS 390.

  In 113 SGS 390, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is the display start timing of the decorative symbol in the image display device 5 (113 SGS 390). Then, the display of the decorative design in the image display device 5 is started, and the processing proceeds to 113 SGS 392 (113 SGS 391), and when it is not the display start timing of the decorative symbol in the image display Go to

  In 113 SGS 392, the CPU for effect control 120 checks whether or not the fluctuation control timer has timed out (113 SGS 392). If the variation control timer has timed out (113 SGS 392; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left middle right decoration pattern (displayed 30 ms after the display change time of the previous decoration pattern) Image data of the screen to be created is written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (113SGS 393). As such, in the image display device 5, variation control of the decorative symbol is realized. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined region such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. As such, in the image display device 5, the background image, the character image, and the decorative pattern in the fluctuation of the decorative pattern are displayed. Also, the predetermined value is reset to the fluctuation control timer (113SGS 394), and the process proceeds to 113SGS 395.

  When the fluctuation control timer has not timed out (1113 SGS 392; N) or after the execution of 113 SGS 394, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the fluctuation time timer has timed out (113 SGS 395). If the fluctuation time timer has timed out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the decoration fluctuation stop process (S76) (S315). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the design confirmation designation command has been received is set (S 314; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is waited for a special figure per process ( It updates to the value according to S173) (113SGS397). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out, the control shifts to control to stop the fluctuation when the symbol determination designation command is received. For example, the fluctuation pattern designation command showing a long fluctuation time due to noise etc. between boards Even when it is received, the variation of the decorative symbol can be ended when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol is finished).

  In the process table used for the variation control of the decorative symbol, the process data in the variable display of the decorative symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variation time of the decorative pattern. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n has timed out in the process of 113 SGS 374, there is no process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and the effect control of the decorative symbol based on the process table is ended Do.

  FIG. 8-21 is a flowchart of the special zone end notification effect execution process (113SGS 389) in the variable display effect process. In the special zone end notification effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the special zone end notification effect process timer is operating (113 SGS 401). If the special zone end notification effect process timer is not in operation (113 SGS 401; N), the special zone end notification effect process table is selected (113 SGS 402), and the selected special zone end notification effect process table in process data 1 The special zone end notification effect process timer is started (113 SGS 403). In the feature portion of the present embodiment, a process table for special zone notification effect corresponding to the special zone notification effect is stored in advance in the ROM 121.

  The effect control CPU 120 then sets the contents of the first process data 1 of the set special zone end notification effect process table (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation section control execution data 1) Control of the rendering device (image display device 5 as a component for presentation, game effect lamp 9 as a component for presentation, speakers 8L and 8R as a component for presentation, stick controller 31A, push button 31B) according to 113 SGS 404), the special zone end notification effect execution processing ends.

  If the special zone end notification effect process timer is operating at 113 SGS 401 (113 SGS 401; Y), the special zone end notification effect process timer value is decremented by 1 (113 SGS 405), and the special zone end notification effect process is performed. It is determined whether the timer has timed out (113 SGS 406).

  When the special zone end notification effect process timer has timed out (113 SGS 406; Y), the process data is switched (113 SGS 407). That is, the process timer is newly started by setting the process timer setting value for the special zone end notification effect set next in the special zone end notification effect process table to the process timer (113 SGS 408). In addition, based on the display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc. set next to it, the control state for the rendering device (the part for effect) is changed (113 SGS 409) The zone end notification effect execution process ends. On the other hand, when the special zone end notification effect process timer has not expired (113 SGS 406; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the special zone end notification effect process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, Control of the rendering device (component for presentation) is executed according to the sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc. (113 SGS 410), and the special zone end notification presentation execution process is ended.

  As described above, when the variable display is executed in the special zone, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (A), 32 variable displays after the end of the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A (32 times in the special zone) If neither of the variable display results of (1) is displayed as a big hit, 3 seconds of variable display if the variable display result is lost in the special zone, or 4 seconds if the variable display result is a small hit While being executed, at the end timing of each variation display, only the entire symbol determination signal out of the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal is output from the terminal substrate 113SG016. In addition, at the timing when the 32nd variable display in the special zone is finished, the display of the background image for the non-special zone and the display of the decorative pattern are started in the image display device 5, and the value of the second prize ball number counter is displayed. Ends.

  Then, in the 33rd variable display (the first variable display after the special zone ends) after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A, the special zone end notification effect is executed and the special zone has ended for the player Is notified. Further, at the end timing of the 33rd variable display after the end of the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A, both the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are outputted from the terminal substrate 113SG016. It is to be noted that both the full symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are output from the terminal substrate 113SG0 16 also at the end timing of the 34th and subsequent fluctuation display after the big hit of the definite variation big hit A.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (B), the n-th (32 n n 1 1) of the 32 variable displays (32 variable displays in the special zone) after the end of the big hit game of the odd variation big hit A If the fluctuation display result is a big hit and the big hit classification becomes a definite variation big hit A in the fluctuation display of, in the fluctuation display up to the n-1th time, if the fluctuation display result is lost, the fluctuation display for 3 seconds, the fluctuation display result is In the case of a small hit, the variable display for 4 seconds is executed, and at the end timing of each variable display, only the entire symbol determination signal out of the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal is output from the terminal substrate 113SG016. Then, the n-th variation display is performed for 3 seconds, and at the end timing of the n-th variation display, both the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are output from the terminal substrate 113SG016.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (C), the nth (32 (n 1 1) of the 32 variable displays (32 variable displays in the special zone) after the end of the big hit game of the odd variation big hit A If the fluctuation display result is a big hit and the big hit type becomes a definite variation big hit B or a non probability variation big hit in the fluctuation display of, in the fluctuation display up to the n-1 th time, if the fluctuation display result is a loss, a 3 seconds fluctuation display If the variation display result is a small hit, then 4 seconds of variation display is executed, and at the end timing of each variation display, only all symbol determination signals out of all symbol determination signals and special symbol determination signals from terminal substrate 113SG016 It is output.

  Next, the n-th variation display is repeated every three seconds for simulated rendition (temporary stop and re-variation of the small symbol) over 33-n times, and at the temporary stop timing of the 33-nth small symbol, In the image display device 5, the display of the background image for the non-special zone and the display of the decoration pattern are started, and the display of the value of the second prize ball number counter is ended. Then, after the 33-nth re-variation of the small symbol is started, the special zone end notification effect is executed, and the player is notified that the special zone has ended. Furthermore, at the end timing of the n-th variation display, both the full symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are output from the terminal substrate 113SG016.

  As described above, in the feature part according to the present embodiment, when the variation display result in the variation display in the special zone is the big hit and the big hit type is the probability variation big hit A, the variation display in the special zone is pseudo continuous When small symbols are derived and displayed in a combination showing a certain variation big hit A without executing the production etc., while the variation display result is a big hit in the variation display in the special zone and the big hit type becomes a definite variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit The pseudo symbol is executed according to the number of remaining fluctuations in the special zone, and it appears as if the special zone has ended. After that, the small symbol is derived and displayed in combination showing the definite variation big hit B and the non definite variation big hit It has become.

  Furthermore, at the end timing of the variable display in which the variable display result in the special zone is lost, the special symbol determination signal is not output to the data lamp corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1, that is, the variable display result is in the special zone. Since the number of changes displayed on the data lamp is not updated until the big hit, does the change display in progress temporarily stop the small symbol as a pseudo-sequence effect? It is difficult for the player to identify whether or not the display is a variation display of non-probable variation big hit) or whether the small symbol is stopped in a combination indicating a loss as a main stop.

  Furthermore, when the variable display result in the variable display in the special zone is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the definite variation big hit A, according to the execution of the variable display in the special zone before the variable display that becomes the definite variation big hit A Since the number of times of fluctuation displayed on the data lamp is not added and updated, the fluctuation display result on the data lamp on the first fluctuation display after the end of the big hit game is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the definite variation big hit A, and the game is big hit It is possible to give a special feeling by the fact that the variation display result is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the definite variation big hit A in the subsequent first variation display.

  Next, display modes of the image display device 5 in the big hit game and in the special zone will be described based on FIGS. 8-23 and 8-24. First, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (A) and FIG. 8-23 (B), when the variation display result is a big hit and the big hit type is a definite change big hit A, the decorative design and the small design become a definite change big hit A It is derived and displayed in the combination shown, and the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A is started. At this time, the display of the value 113SG005A of the first award ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second award ball number counter is started at the upper left portion of the image display device 5. During the big hit game, the value of the first prize ball number counter 113SG005A and the value of the second prize ball number counter 113SG005B each time the game ball wins the big winning hole and the start winning hole, the regular winning holes 113SG010A, 113SG010B, 113SG010C. Will be updated.

  Then, after the big hit game is over, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (C), the decorative symbol as the special zone, the first holding storage display area 113SG005D and the second holding storage display area 113SG005U are not displayed, and the special symbol and the movement are displayed. And the variation display of the small design is started. In the feature portion of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 (B) and 8-23 (C), the image 113SG005X in the big hit game is continuously displayed even in the special zone. It has become. The image 113 SG 005 X in the big hit game is displayed until the variation display of the big hit is ended in the special zone but the variation display of 32 times is completed.

  In the special zone, when the fluctuation display is executed in which the fluctuation display result is the big hit and the big hit type is the probability variation big hit A, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 (D) and 8-23 (E), the fluctuation displays. As a result, after the small symbols are derived and displayed in the combination indicating the probability variation big hit A, the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A is started. At this time, the display of the value 113SG005A of the first award ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second award ball number counter is continuously updated and displayed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (E), when the value of the first prize ball number counter reaches the notification start threshold during the special zone or during the big hit game, the image display device as the prize ball number notification effect At 5, the notification image 113SG005H indicating that the number of winning balls has reached the notification start threshold is displayed. Although the feature portion of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the notification image 113SG005H is displayed on the image display device 5 as the prize ball number notification effect, the present invention is not limited to this and an award The ball number notification effect may be performed by sound output from the speakers 8L, 8R, light emission of the game effect lamp 9, or the like.

  Also, if the variable display result is a big hit in the special zone and the big hit type is a definite variation big hit B or a non-constant variation big hit, a variation display result is executed as shown in FIG. 8-24 (F) to FIG. 8-24 (H). As shown, in the small symbol display area 113SG005S, temporary stopping of the small symbol and re-variation (pseudo series effect) according to the number of remaining fluctuations of the special zone are repeatedly executed. Then, when the final re-variation of the small symbol is executed, as shown in FIG. 8-24 (I), the special zone end notification effect is executed in the image display device 5, and the special zone is ended for the player It is informed that it did.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-24 (J) and FIG. 8-24 (K), the display of the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter on the image display device 5 is ended, while the display of the decorative symbol is displayed. The display of the first hold storage display area 113SG005D and the second hold storage display area 113SG005U is resumed. After that, a predetermined probability variation big hit B and a notice effect indicating a non probability variation big hit are executed, and then a rendering pattern and a small design are derived and displayed in combination showing a probability variation big hit B or a non-certain variation big hit.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature portion of the present embodiment, the CPU 120 for effect control controls the number of prize balls in the high base including the big hit game and the special zone during the definite change big hit A and the positive change big hit B. It is possible to count it as the value 113SG005A of the 1 prize ball number counter, and also to count the number of prize balls in the big hit game of special probability big hit A and in the special zone as the value 113 SG005 B of the second prize ball number counter, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, since the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter can be displayed on the image display device 5, the special zone during the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A, the special zone Display the number of prize balls in middle and high base excluding special zone on the image display device 5 appropriately Can.

  In the feature of the present embodiment, a big hit gaming state which is a specific period of the present invention, a high probability high base state including a special zone which is a predetermined period of the present invention, and a low probability which is a special period of the present invention The high base state and the small hit gaming state are included in the advantageous period. That is, the advantageous period in the characteristic part in the present embodiment is a period in which the game ball is more likely to win the big winning opening compared to the low probability low base state, the start winning combination occurs in comparison with the low probability low base state A period during which the fluctuation display result is likely to be a big hit compared to the low probability low base state, a period during which the big hit type is likely to be a probability change big hit A when the variable display result is a big hit compared to the low probability low base state, Variation time is short when variation display result is big hit and big hit type becomes definite big hit A as compared with low probability low base condition (or compared with the period excluding special zone in high probability high base condition) The period is included.

  The feature of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the value 113SG005A of the first award ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second award ball number counter can be displayed on the image display device 5, but the present invention The present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a display device different from the image display device 5, and the value 113SG005A of these first award ball number counter and the value of the second prize ball number counter 113SG005B may be displayed.

  Also, the effect control CPU 120 is the value of the first prize ball number counter which is the sum of the number of prize balls in the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A and the definite variation big hit B, the high base including the special zone As it is possible to count it as 113SG005A, and it is possible to count the value which is the sum of the number of prize balls in the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A and the number of prize balls in the special zone as the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter In the image display device 5, each counter is a more accurate counter that is the sum of the number of prize balls in the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A and the definite variation big hit B, the number of award balls in the special zone, and the number of prize balls excluding the special zone. The value of can be displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-23, the effect control CPU 120 sets the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter during the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A and in the special zone. Can be displayed on the image display device 5 at the same time, so the player can simultaneously check the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter. Since the increase status of the value 113SG005A of the first award ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second award ball number counter can be simultaneously confirmed, these increase statuses can be emphasized.

  In the feature part of the present embodiment, the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter can be simultaneously displayed on the image display device 5 during the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A and the special zone. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case of a big hit game with a definite variation big hit A and in a special zone, the value of the first prize ball number counter 113SG005A and the second prize Only one of the values 113SG005B of the ball number counter may be displayed on the image display device 5, and confusion of the player may be prevented when the amount of information displayed on the image display device 5 becomes excessive.

  Furthermore, when the value 113SG005A of the first award ball number counter and the value 113SG005B of the second award ball number counter indicate the end of the totaling of the respective values (for example, if the value of the first award ball number counter 113SG005A When the fluctuation display of 100 times after the end of the big hit game is finished, if it is the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter, the timing of the fluctuation display of 32 times after the big hit game end of the probability change big hit A is displayed only for a predetermined period May be

  Further, in the feature portion of the present embodiment, the image display apparatus is added up with the value of the number of winning balls in the big hit game and the number of winning balls in the high base as the value of the first prize ball counter or the second prize ball counter. Although the form displayed on 5 is illustrated, the number of winning balls in the big hit game and the number of winning balls in the high base may be separately displayed on the image display device 5. In addition, when separately displaying the number of winning balls in the big hit game and the number of winning balls in the high base in this way, a specific timing (for example, 32 variable display ends after the big hit game of definite variation big hit A ends) The number of winning balls in the big hit game and the number of winning balls in the high base may be displayed together at the timing (e.g., timing) to allow the player to focus on the combined display.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 counts up the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter until the end of the 100th variable display after the end of the big hit game of the non-deterministic variation big game, and the 100th variable display is finished. The display of the value 113SG005A of the first prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 is ended on the condition of the condition, and the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter is changed to the 32nd variation display after the big hit game The player finishes the display of the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter on the image display device 5 under the condition that the second variable display is ended while the tallying is performed (until the special zone is ended). The display of the value 113 SG 005 B of the second prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 ends. It can be easily recognized that the interstitial zone has ended.

  In the feature part of the present embodiment, counting of the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter and the display on the image display device 5 are performed under the condition that the 32nd variable display after the big hit game end of the probability variation big hit A ends. The present invention is not limited to this, and the value of the second prize ball number counter at the timing when the 32nd variable display after the end of the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A is finished. While finishing the counting of 113SG005B, the display of the value 113SG005B of the second prize ball number counter in the image display device 5 may be maintained over a predetermined period (for example, multiple fluctuations such as 2 to 4 times etc.) . By doing this, even if the 32nd variable display after the end of the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A ends, the number of prize balls collected in the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A and in the special zone Can be easily recognized.

  Also, the high probability high base state in the feature portion of the present embodiment is the special zone until the end of the 32 variable displays after the end of the big hit game of the high probability big hit A, and 33 after the big hit game of the high probability big hit A If the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, including the non-special zone that is after the second variation display, the big hit type will be definitely the big hit A, so the big hit after the big hit game of the big hit A It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the high base state is in the special zone, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  That is, the special zone in the characteristic portion of the present embodiment is the first predetermined period in the present invention, and the high probability high base state excluding the special zone is the second predetermined period whose advantage is lower than the first predetermined period in the present invention. Point to each. Further, the “degree of advantage” as referred to herein indicates a ratio in which the big hit type becomes the probability variation big hit A when the variable display result is a big hit.

  In the feature of the present embodiment, when the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, the big hit type is an example in which the big hit type is definitely a big hit A, but the present invention is limited to this. If the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, a case may be provided in which the big hit type is a probability variation big hit B or a non probability variation big hit at a lower rate than in the non-special zone.

  In the feature of the present embodiment, when the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, the form controlled to the big hit gaming state of probability variation big hit A at a higher rate than after the special zone is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display results in the special zone is a big hit, the probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit in the big hit gaming state at a higher rate than after the special zone It may be controlled. In addition, in the special zone and in the non-special zone after the special zone, the display mode of the image displayed on the image display device 5, the number of times of fluctuation, the fluctuation speed of the rendering symbol, the ratio controlled to the small hitting gaming state, etc. It may be different. By doing this, the effect control CPU 120 can execute effects with different game characteristics in the special zone and the non-special zone.

  In addition, when the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone and the variation display of the big hit type is a definite variation big hit A, a variation display of 3 seconds is performed in the special zone as shown in FIG. 8-22. The small symbol is derived and displayed in combination showing the probability variation big hit A, while the variation display result is big hit in the special zone and the big hit type is the probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit if the fluctuation display is executed After the special zone is finished by executing the pseudo-series effect according to the number of remaining fluctuations of the special zone in display, the small design and the decoration pattern are derived and displayed in combination showing the probability variation big hit B and non probability variation big hit If a small symbol is derived and displayed in a combination indicated by the probability variation big hit A in the special zone, the number of rounds is likely variation probability big hit A Since the player can recognize that the game is controlled to the hit gaming state, the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the small symbol is derived and displayed in the combination indicated by the probability variation big hit A in the special zone. I can improve the interest.

  In the feature of the present embodiment, an example is presented in which the small symbol is derived and displayed in the combination indicated by the probability variation big hit A in the special zone to notify that the big hit gaming state of the probability variation big hit A is controlled. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the special zone, the display of images other than small symbols in the image display 5, the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the light emission of the game effect lamp 9, etc. It may be notified that it is controlled to the big hit gaming state of the probability variation big hit A by the notification effect including.

  In the feature of the present embodiment, when the variation display result in the special zone is a big hit and the big hit type is a definite change big hit A, a combination showing a small pattern in a shortening fluctuation of 3 seconds, a combination showing a positive change big hit A Although the form to show and display (probably report a big change big hit A) is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone and the big hit type is a definite change big hit A In some cases, a pseudo-continuous effect is executed during fluctuating display in the same manner as when the big hit type is a definite variation big hit B or a non definite variation big hit, and a production pattern is provided to notify a definite variation big hit A during execution of a special zone end notification production May be By doing this, it is possible to notify the probability variation big hit A at a plurality of timings in the special zone, and to improve the game interest.

  Further, in the non-special zone, a background image different from the special zone is displayed on the image display device 5, so the player visually recognizes the background image displayed on the image display device 5 to display the inside of the special zone. It can be easy to recognize if it is in a non-special zone.

  Although the feature of this embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the background image displayed on the image display device 5 is different between the special zone and the non-special zone, the present invention is limited to this. Rather, in the special zone and in the non-special zone, the shapes of the small symbols displayed on the image display device 5 and the characters displayed are different, and the BGMs output from the speakers 8L and 8R are different. The player is in the special zone or not by executing at least one of changing the light emission pattern of the game effect lamp 9 and changing the shape of the gaming machine frame 3 partially. It may be easy to recognize if it is in a zone.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-23, during the high base and during a big hit game, the value of the first prize ball number counter reaches a predetermined value (the notification start threshold value, for example, 5000, 10000, etc.). Since the notification image 113SG005H is displayed on the image display device 5 indicating that the award ball number has reached the notification start threshold value as the award ball number notification effect based on the fact that the player has made the value of the first award ball number counter Can make it easy to grasp, so it is possible to improve the game interest.

  Although the feature portion of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the prize ball number notification effect is executed according to the value of the first prize ball number counter, the present invention is not limited to this, and the prize ball The number notification effect may be performed according to the value of the second prize ball number counter.

  Further, in the feature portion of the present embodiment, a mode is shown in which the notification image 113SG005H is displayed on the image display device 5 as the prize ball number notification effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. The ball number informing effect is an icon indicating that the number of prize balls has reached the informing start threshold on the image display device 5 each time the value of the first award ball number counter reaches a predetermined value (informing start threshold) determined in advance. It may be an effect of sequentially displaying additional images.

  Further, in the feature portion of the present embodiment, in the special zone, only the full symbol determination signal of the full symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal is displayed on the terminal board for the variable display in which the variation display result is lost or small hit. In the non-special zone, the variable display result is a lost display or a small hit in the non-special zone, and both the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal are output from the terminal substrate 113SG016, that is, special During the zone, the number of fluctuations displayed on the data lamp will not be added or updated until the fluctuation display result is a big hit, so the currently running fluctuation display will temporarily stop the small symbol as a pseudo-series effect Whether the fluctuation display is a fluctuation display of a probability variation big hit B or a non probability variation big hit), a set of small symbols showing a loss as a main stop Since whether it is stopped by the Align becomes difficult to distinguish from a player, can output a signal from the terminal board 113SG016 in response to execution of a pseudo continuous effect.

  In this embodiment, when the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, the terminal substrate 113SG016 outputs both the entire symbol determination signal and the special symbol determination signal at the end timing of the variation display. Although the example is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, only the entire symbol determination signal is output from the terminal substrate 113SG016 at the end timing of the variation display. You may do it.

  In addition, when it is in the special zone, at the end timing of the fluctuation display where the fluctuation display result is a loss, the terminal board 113SG016 makes a special to the data lamp provided corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 one to one. When the symbol confirmation signal is not output, but is in the non-special zone, the terminal board 113SG016 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the pachinko gaming machine 1 at the end timing of the variable display where the variable display result is lost. Since the special symbol determination signal is output for the data lamp selected, the number of fluctuations displayed on the data lamp is not added or updated until the fluctuation display result is a big hit in the special zone, and the fluctuation during execution is Is the display temporarily stopping the small symbol as a pseudo-sequence effect? (The variable display is a probability change big hit B or a non-probability change large It is difficult for the player to identify whether or not the small symbol is stopped by a combination indicating a loss as a main stop. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the player is identified as to whether or not the variable display is the fluctuation display of the probability variation big hit B or the non-probability variation big hit.

  Further, in the feature part of the present embodiment, the entire symbol determination signal is output to the management device such as the management computer of the game arcade, and the special symbol determination signal is provided one by one with the pachinko gaming machine 1 Although the form which outputs to a data lamp is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, it changes to a special symbol decision signal, and outputs all symbol decision signals to a data lamp, and in a data lamp The actual number of times of variation display in the special zone may be displayed. However, from the point that the rendering effect in the special zone can be further enhanced, the entire symbol determination signal is output to the management device such as the management computer of the game arcade, and the special symbol determination signal is output to the data lamp Is preferred.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-8, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided from the terminal board 113SG016 at the timing when the variation display ends regardless of whether or not the entire symbol determination signal is in the special zone. Since the information is output to a management device such as a management computer of the game arcade, the number of fluctuations in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be accurately grasped in the management device etc. of the game arcade.

  Further, when the variation display in which the variation display result is the big hit and the big hit type is the definite variation big hit A is executed in the special zone, the effect control CPU 120 is a combination indicating the definite variation big hit A in the fluctuation display in the special zone. The small symbol is derived and displayed, but the fluctuation display result is a big hit in the special zone, and when the fluctuation display in which the big hit type is a definite variation big hit B or a non definite variation big hit is executed, after the end of the special zone in the variation display The small symbol is derived and displayed in a combination indicating a big hit B or a non big hit big hit, that is, during the special zone, it is notified by a combination of a small figure that the big hit gaming state of the big hit A is controlled. Therefore, it is possible to improve the game interest in the special zone.

  In addition, in the variable display up to 32 times in the special zone after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A, as shown in FIG. 8-23, the image 113SG005X in the big hit game is continuously displayed on the image display device 5 Therefore, the interest in the special zone can be improved.

  Further, when the special zone ends (when the variable display of 32 times after the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A ends), the effect control CPU 120 executes the special zone end notification effect in the next variable display. Furthermore, if the variable display result is a big hit in the special zone and the big hit type is a definite variation big hit B or a non-constant variation big hit is executed, as shown in FIG. Since the decorative symbol and the small symbol are derived and displayed as the combination of the definite variation big hit B and the non definite variation big hit after executing the zone end notification effect, the small symbol is the definite variation big hit A while displaying the image 113SG005X in the big hit game on the image display device 5 Since the derived display in which the decorative symbol or the small symbol indicates the probability variation big hit B or the non probability variation big hit is executed through the special zone end notification effect while being expected to be derived and displayed by the combination indicating During the display of the image 113 SG 005 X during the big hit game in 5 symbols and small symbols show a definite variation big hit B and non definite variation big hit Since the derivation display in combination is not executed, the player is made to pay attention to whether or not the small symbol is derived and displayed in the combination indicating the probability variation big hit A during the display of the image 113 SG 005 X in the big hit game on the image display device 5 Can.

  When the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display in which the variable display result is a big hit in the special zone and the big hit type is the probability variation big hit B or the non probability variation big hit in the special zone, the simulation of the number of times corresponding to the remaining variation number of the special zone The special zone end notification effect is executed after executing the serial effect, and the player can recognize that the variable display of 32 times after the end of the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A has ended, so the special zone has ended ( It is possible to prevent the player from giving a sense of incongruity about the fact that the variable display of 32 times after the end of the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A is finished.

  Although the features of the present embodiment have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the features of these embodiments, and changes and additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Also included in the present invention.

  For example, in the feature portion of the embodiment, the game ball is hit in the big winning opening by striking out the game ball toward the right game area 113SG002R mainly during the big hit game as the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 1 Thus, although the embodiment is illustrated in which the balls (winning balls) are increased, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as a first modification, the right gaming area 113SG002R of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is used. From the upstream side to the downstream side passing gate 113SG041, variable winning ball device 113SG006B, special variable winning ball device 113SG007 arranges the big winning opening which is formed in order, the game ball passes gate 113SG041 during the right strike after the big hit game end And small hit by passing through the second start winning opening formed by variable winning ball device 113SG006B Execution of the technique is such that frequent, may be a game ball in the small per game, which can gradually increase the ball has by special winning hole. In the configuration of such a modification 1, instead of the special variable winning ball device 113SG007, a special variable winning ball device for big hit and a special variable winning ball device for small hit are provided, and the special variable for big hit is provided. A winning ball device may be provided upstream of the variable winning ball device 113SG006B. Thus, by providing the special variable winning ball device for the big hit on the upstream side of the variable winning ball device 113SG006B, during the big hit, the special variable for the big hit before the game ball reaches the variable winning ball device 113SG006B Since the game ball can enter into the big winning opening of the winning ball device, the big hit game can be smoothly advanced.

  Furthermore, when it is possible to increase the balls held by winning the game ball in the large winning opening during the small hit game in this way, the hit probability in the variation display of the normal symbol is different from the game state Set the percentage of small hits in the variation display of the second special symbol together with the percentage of small hits in the variation display of the first special symbol (for example, the first 1 Set the percentage of small hits in the variation display of the special symbol to 0, and set the percentage of small hits in the variation display of the second special symbol to 299/300).

  And after the big hit game of a specific big hit type (for example, odd variation big hit B or non positive variation big hit), the fluctuation display of the normal symbol executed on the basis of passing game gate 113SG041 becomes “hit” By setting the open period of the variable winning ball device 113SG006B in the case to the first period, even if a small hit occurs, the gaming ball flowing down the right gaming area 113SG002R wins the second start winning opening, and a large winning The game ball after the big hit game end of the first KT state (probability state and 1 KT state or low certain state and the first KT state) where the game ball becomes difficult to win in the mouth, and other big hit types (for example, definite change big hit A) Variable winning ball device 113SG0 when the variation display of the normal symbol executed based on the passing gate 113SG041 becomes "hit" By setting the opening period of 6B to the second period shorter than the first period, the game ball can easily win the game ball at the large winning opening opened due to the occurrence of the small hit than the first KT state (probable change state and In the second KT state), control may be made possible, and it may be prevented that balls are excessively increased by winning of the game ball to the large winning opening in the small hit game.

  In the KT state (the first KT state and the second KT state), the variation display of the second special symbol is executed by striking out the game ball toward the right game area 113SG002R, so the game ball is directed to the left game area 113SG002L The variable display result is likely to be a small hit than in the normal state (the low certainty state and the non-KT state) in which the variable display of the first special symbol is executed by striking out. That is, the KT state is an advantageous state for the player who can generate small hits more frequently than the non-KT state by mainly performing the variable display of the second special symbol.

  Next, the transition of the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 that can be controlled to the first KT state and the second KT state as described above will be described. First, in the normal state (the low probability state and the non-KT state), the player mainly aims for the start winning for the first start winning opening by striking the gaming ball toward the left gaming area 113SG002L. For this reason, in the normal state, the variable display of the first special symbol is mainly executed. In the normal state, when the variation display result is a big hit, the gaming state after the big hit game is in high probability state, 2 KT state, high probability state, 1 K T state, low probability state or 1 K T state It is controlled. For example, after the end of the big hit game of probability variation big hit A, the gaming state is controlled to the high certainty state and the second KT state, and after the big hit gaming of definite variation big hit B is controlled to the high probability state and the first KT state, the non-probability variation After the end of the big hit game of the big hit, the gaming state is controlled to the low certainty state and the first KT state.

  In the gaming state after the end of the big hit game, the player aims for a start winning for the second start winning opening and a winning for the big winning opening by launching the game ball toward the right gaming area 113SG002R. In addition, when the gaming state is controlled to the high certainty state and the second KT state or the high certainty state and the first KT state, these high certainty state and the second KT state or the high certainty until the fluctuation display result of the special symbol becomes big hit again The state and the first KT state are maintained. On the other hand, when the gaming state is controlled to the low certainty state and the first KT state, the gaming state is the normal state (low certainty state and based on the end of the variation display of the special symbol 100 times after the big hit game is over Controlled to the non-KT state).

  Then, during the KT state, the variable display result mainly becomes a small hit with a high probability by executing the variable display of the second special symbol, and the opening of the big winning opening is carried out in the small hit game. Here, when in the first KT state, even in the small hit game, the variable winning device 113SG006B, which is disposed upstream of the large winning opening, is open with high probability over the first period. Therefore, most of the game balls are won in the second start winning opening, and it becomes difficult to win in the big winning opening. On the other hand, when in the second KT state, since the variable winning device 113SG006B disposed upstream of the large winning opening during the small hit game is closed at a higher rate than in the first KT state, the first KT More game balls than in the state are to be won in the special winning opening without winning in the second start winning opening.

  In the first modification, the game state is controlled to the second KT state whenever the variation display result is a big hit and the big hit type is definitely a big hit A, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The variation display result of the second special symbol in the normal state (low probability state and non-KT state) is not limited, but the big hit and the big hit type become definite variation big hit A, that is, the game ball is left gaming area 113SG002L The variation display of the second special symbol is executed by the player striking the gaming ball toward the right gaming area 113SG 002R despite the gaming state of striking out toward the, and the variation display result is a big hit and a big hit type If the result is a big hit A, the game state is not controlled to the second KT state after the big hit game is over (even if it is controlled to the high certainty state and the first KT state) There. By doing this, the original game property is lost by striking out the game ball toward the right gaming area 113SG002R positively to cause some players to execute the variable display of the second special symbol in the normal state. Can be prevented.

  In the first modification, the opening percentage of the variable winning ball device 113SG006B is made different between the first KT state and the second KT state, thereby changing the winning percentage of the gaming ball to the big winning opening in the small hitting game. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and by making the number of openings of the variable winning ball device 113SG006B different between the first KT state and the second KT state, to the large winning opening during small hit game The winning percentage of game balls may be varied.

  As described above, in the case where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is made to have a playability to increase the balls even in the second KT state, as shown in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-27, during the big hit game, the first KT In the state and the second KT state, the award ball number display 113 SG 300, 113 SG 303 and 113 SG 305 may be displayed on the image display device 5.

  Furthermore, during the big hit game, as shown in FIG. 8-25 (A) to FIG. 8-25 (C), the image display device 5 together with the award ball number display 113 SG 300, such as the character 1078 SG 301 or "big hit!" The character display 113SG302 is displayed, and the display of the award ball number display 113SG300 is updated at the first speed when the gaming ball is won in the big winning opening (for example, the display of the award ball number display 113SG300 is made 0.1 seconds) May be updated).

  In the first KT state, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A) to FIG. 8-26 (C), while displaying the number-of-balls display 113 SG 303 on the image display device 5, a small hit occurs. , The character display 113SG304 such as "small hit occurrence!" Is displayed, and when the game ball is won in the big winning opening during the small hit game in the first KT state, the display of the award ball number display 113SG303 is hit big game It may be updated at the first speed as well as inside.

  Then, in the second KT state, as shown in FIGS. 8-27 (A) to 8-27 (C), when the award ball number display 113 SG 305 is displayed on the image display device 5 and a small hit occurs. , A character display 113SG 306 such as "small hit!" May be displayed. Furthermore, when the game ball is won in the large winning opening during the small hit game in the second KT state, as a winning effect, character display 113SG308 character display 113SG or character display 113SG309 such as "+15" as a winning ball increase display The effect image 113SG 307 may be displayed around the award ball number display 113SG 305. Then, the display of the award ball number display 113SG305 is updated at a second speed which is lower than the first speed (for example, the display of the award ball number display 113SG305 is updated over 0.5 seconds), that is, the big hit game During the first, second, or first KT states, the player can display the number of balls by changing the update speed of the number-of-balls display 113SG300, 113SG303, 113SG305 depending on which of the game balls has won the big winning opening. Attention may be paid to the update speeds of the 113SG 300, 113SG 303, and 113SG 305 to improve the game interest.

  Thus, in the first modification, two patterns (a pattern for updating and displaying the number-of-balls display 113SG300 and 113SG303 at the first speed, and a pattern for displaying the number-of-balls display 113SG300, 113SG303, and 113SG305) are displayed. By providing the number display 113 SG 305 as a pattern for updating and displaying at the second speed, it is possible to improve the interest in the game when performing update display of the number of prize balls. In particular, in the first modification, assuming that the small hit probability in the second KT state is a predetermined probability (for example, 50%, etc.), the winning frequency of the game ball to the big winning opening in the second KT state than in the big hit game. Becomes lower. Therefore, by updating the display of the number-of-balls display 113 SG 305 at the second speed, which is lower than the first speed, the gaming balls are disconnected at the big winning opening even if the winning frequency to the big winning opening is lower than during the big hit game. Since it is possible to give the player an illusion as if he or she has not won a prize, it is possible to have a small hit interval and to improve the game interest.

  In the first modification, a common winning opening may be opened in the large hit game and the small hit game, but the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a plurality of large winning openings, and opened in the big hit game. The winning opening to be played may be different from the winning opening to be opened during the small hit game.

  In addition, the state where the game ball is launched toward the right game area 113SG002R (such as a big hit game state, a high probability high base state, a first KT state, a second KT state, etc.) as in the characteristic portions of the embodiment and this modification 1 In the image display device 5, the game ball is displayed on the general winning opening 113SG010C provided in the right game area 113SG002R, while displaying a promotion image prompting the player to launch the game ball toward the right game area 113SG002R in the image display device 5. In the case of winning, a winning sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R to notify that the gaming ball has won the general winning opening 113SG010C. On the other hand, as in the characteristic portions of all the embodiments and the first modification, the game balls are launched toward the right game area 113SG002R (big hit game state, high probability high base state, first KT state, second KT state, etc. When the game ball is won in the general winning opening 113SG010A, 113SG010B provided in the left gaming area 113SG002L), the promotion image is displayed by not notifying the winning sound from the speakers 8L, 8R It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable due to the game ball entering the left gaming area 113SG 002L when in the big hit gaming state, the high probability high base state, the first KT state, the second KT state or the like.

  When the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be controlled to the first KT state or the second KT state as in the first modification, the big hit gaming state, the small hitting gaming state, the first KT during the advantageous period of the present invention. State, including the second KT state.

  In the feature of the embodiment, the image 113 SG 005 X in the big hit game is continuously displayed on the image display 5 in the special zone after the end of the big hit A big hit game. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29 as the second modification, in the special zone, it is replaced by the image of the image 113SG005X during the big hit game. The decorative design may be displayed in a mode different from the normal state (low probability low base state) or the high probability high base state excluding the special zone.

  When the decorative symbol is displayed in a mode different from the normal state (low probability low base state) or the high probability high base state excluding the special zone in this manner, for example, FIG. 8-28 (A) to FIG. As shown in 28 (E), a plurality of "7" decorative symbols are displayed in parallel from the front side to the back side of the image display device 5 in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L and 113SG005R, In the "middle" decorative pattern display area 113SG005C, only the decorative pattern of 1 "6" is displayed. That is, from the state where the decorative symbol is stopped by the combination (combination of “767”) indicating reach loss of the probability variation big hit A, the decorative symbols displayed in the “left” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 113SG005L, 113SG005R Is shifted forward, and the variation display is performed by rotating the decorative symbol displayed in the "middle" decorative symbol display area 113SG005C in the horizontal direction. Further, the small symbols may be interlocked with the decorative symbols and the variable display may be performed in the same manner as the feature of the embodiment.

  In the variable display of the loss in these special zones, the decorative symbol and the small symbol are derived and displayed with a combination (a combination of “767”) of reach loss with a probability change big hit A. In this manner, by displaying the decorative symbol and the small symbol in the special zone by deriving and displaying the combination of reach loss of the definite variation big hit A, the decorative symbol and the small symbol are derived and displayed in the combination of the definite variation big hit A in the special zone It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not (whether or not notification of the probability variation big hit A is executed by the combination of the decorative symbol and the small symbol).

  Furthermore, in the fluctuation display of the loss in the special zone, the fluctuation display is finished in 3 seconds (variation display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of PA1-4 shown in FIG. 8-5), so the decorative symbol and the small symbol are displayed. Is derived and displayed in a combination of reach loss of definite variation big hit A every 3 seconds, and it is more effective for the player depending on whether or not the decoration pattern and the small symbol are derived and displayed in combination of definite variation big hit A in the special zone. It is possible to draw attention.

  As shown in Figure 8-29 (F) to Figure 8-29 (K), when the variation display result is big hit in the special zone and the big hit type or the big hit type is the variation display of non probability variation big hit B or non probability variation big hit is executed. If you execute the pseudo-series effect the number of times according to the number of remaining changes in the special zone, and display the decorative symbol and the small symbol in the combination showing the definite variation big hit B or the non definite variation big hit via special zone end notification production Good.

  As described above, in the special zone in the second modification, the shortening fluctuation display for 3 seconds is continuously executed, and when the fluctuation display result is a loss, the decorative symbol and the small symbol are surely hit by a big hit A In a combination of reach loser combinations, the player is made to pay attention to whether or not the big hit game of the big hit big game A is executed again continuously to the big hit game of the big hit game A which triggered the special zone. Is possible. Furthermore, when the variation display result is a big hit in the special zone, it is always derived and displayed with a combination of the decorative symbol and the small symbol indicating the definite variation big hit A (the combination of the decorative symbol and the small symbol causes the big hit type Since it is informed that it is A), it is possible to give the player a special feeling that the decorative symbol and the small symbol are derived and displayed in a combination indicating the probability variation big hit A in the special zone.

  Furthermore, in the fluctuation display of the probability variation big hit A in the special zone, the fluctuation display is finished in 3 seconds as in the fluctuation display of the loss (the fluctuation display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of PC1-1 shown in FIG. 8-5) Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of surprise to the player by displaying the combination of the decorative symbol and the small symbol in a sudden change big hit A because the sudden change of the big hit game between consecutive big change big hit A is shortened. Since it can be done, the game interest can be improved.

  Further, the feature of the above-described embodiment exemplifies a mode capable of displaying the number of award balls given to a player during a big hit, a special zone, a high base, etc. in the image display device 5 during the big hit game. The image display device 5 may be capable of displaying a net increase in the number of gaming balls in the big hit, in the special zone, in the high base, etc. By doing this, the player can more accurately grasp the number of gaming balls he has acquired.

  Further, in the feature portion of the embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed into a special symbol, and it is controlled to be a big hit gaming state based on the variation display result. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the variation display of the special symbol, and in the big winning opening during the small hit game It may be a gaming machine (a so-called 1 type 2 type mixing machine) that can be controlled to a big hit gaming state based on passing through a specified area provided a game ball. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is to be used as such a type 1 2 type mixing machine, in the normal state, the variation display of the first special symbol is executed by striking out the gaming ball to the left gaming area, and the first special symbol is executed. When controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the variation display of the symbol, the small hit gaming state based on the variation display of the second special symbol by launching the gaming ball in the right gaming area in the high base state after the big hit gaming is over During the game, the game ball is made to enter the specific area to control it to a big hit gaming state.

  Then, the first special period for performing the variable display of the second special figure a predetermined number of times in the high base state, and the remaining number of short times becomes zero and the second special symbol of the second special symbol is stored. Different effects may be performed depending on whether or not the variable display result is a big hit or a small hit in the second special period in which the variable display is performed.

  For example, when the variable display result is a big hit or a small hit in the variable display of the first special period, the pseudo-series effect is performed the number of times according to the number of remaining fluctuations in the first special period in the variable display. You may appear as if the production | presentation pattern was derived | led-out and displayed by the combination of the big hit or the small hit in the fluctuation display of a special period.

  Further, in the above embodiment and features, in the variation display where the variation display result in the special zone is the big hit and the big hit type becomes the probability variation big hit A, all symbol determination signals and the special symbols are determined at the end timing of the variation display. Although the form which outputs both of the signals was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fluctuation display in the special zone is the fluctuation display where the fluctuation display result is the big hit and the big hit type is the probability variation big hit A. Only the entire symbol determination signal may be output at the end timing of.

  In the feature of the embodiment, the CPU for effect control 120 sends a special zone start notification command or a special zone end notification command to the effect control board 12 (CPU 120 for effect control) from the CPU 103 so that the effect control CPU 120 performs special processing. Although the form which can judge whether it is in a zone is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and CPU120 for production control is the fluctuation display frequency from after the big hit game of probability variation big hit A after the end of the game It may be determined whether or not it is in the special zone. When the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the special zone is in the special zone based on the number of fluctuation display after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A in this way, the special zone start notification command or the special zone end notification Since it is not necessary to transmit a command, the special zone start notification command or the special zone end notification command may be excluded from the effect control command.

  In the feature of the above embodiment, although the form is shown in which the transition to the special zone is made only after the big hit game of the definite variation big hit A ends, it is made to shift to the special zone even after the big hit game of the true variation big hit B It is also good.

  In the feature of the embodiment, the special zone is a period until the special figure game (32 variable display) in the high probability high base state after the big hit game of the probability variation big hit A is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special zone is a game of 32 special games in high base status (whether high or low probability) from the end of the big hit game. It may be a period of time until it executes. That is, you may shift to the special zone after the end of the big hit game of non-probability variation big hit.

  In addition, as described above, in the case where a special zone can be shifted to after the end of a plurality of big hit games, the number of special view games (the number of times of variable display) controlled in the special zone is made different according to the finished big hit game. It is also good.

  In the feature of the above embodiment, when the variation display result in the variation display in the special zone is a big hit and the big hit type is a probability variation big hit A, the variation pattern of the variation display is a special pattern variation time of 3 seconds. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, in the case where it is possible to shift to a special zone after completion of a plurality of big hit games, The big hit type targeted for the variation pattern of the PC 1-1 may be made different in the special zone according to the finished big hit type. For example, when transitioning to a special zone after the big hit game of the odd variation big hit B, when the variation indication result in the variation indication in the special zone is big hit and the big hit type becomes the big hit B probability variation pattern When the special figure fluctuation time is executed with the fluctuation pattern of PC1-1 which is 3 seconds, when it moves to the special zone after the big hit game of non probability variation big hit, the fluctuation indication result in the fluctuation indication in the special zone is big hit and When the jackpot type is the non-probable variation big hit, the variation pattern of the variation display may be executed with the variation pattern of PC1-1 in which the special figure variation time is 3 seconds.
