Then, when the detection signal is input from the firing stop SW 241, the launch control device 140 stops launching the game ball even when the detection signal is input from the touch SW 242.

  The power supply board 150 generates backup power by a backup power generation circuit having a capacitor, and the backup power is supplied to the main control RAM 102 of the main control device 100. Therefore, main controller 100 can back up main control RAM 102. That is, even after the power supply to the gaming machine 1 is stopped, the main control device 100 can hold the contents of the main control RAM 102 immediately before the power supply is stopped, such as the gaming state of the gaming machine 1.

  Here, returning to FIG. 2, the operation of the gaming machine 1 will be described. When a game ball enters the normal diagram starting port 55, the gaming machine 1 extracts a random number value for a normal symbol and makes a determination as to whether or not it is correct based on the extracted random value. Then, if the result of the determination of success / failure is a win, the gaming machine 1 performs a confirmation display of the determination of success / failure on the normal symbol display device 62 </ b> C, and also opens the universal utility 57 by driving the universal utility solenoid 209. The second special figure starting port 58 is in a state in which a game ball can be entered. In the gaming machine 1, the opening time for each second special figure starting port 58 is set to 0.1 seconds in the normal state and 2.2 seconds in the short time state that is advantageous to the player.

  In the gaming machine 1, when a game ball enters the first special figure starting port 56, a plurality of types of random numbers related to the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is correct is extracted. The extracted random number value is stored as a predetermined number as a reserved storage of the first special symbol. The gaming machine 1 makes a determination as to whether or not the game machine 1 is on hold based on the stored random number. Then, the gaming machine 1 starts the symbol variation of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 62A, and starts the symbol variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol in the effect symbol display device 54.

  Similarly, when a gaming ball enters the second special figure starting port 58, the gaming machine 1 extracts a plurality of types of random numbers related to the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is correct. The extracted random number value is stored as a predetermined number as a reserved storage of the second special symbol. The gaming machine 1 makes a determination as to whether or not the second special symbol is on hold based on the stored random number value. Then, the gaming machine 1 starts the symbol variation of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 62B, and also starts the symbol variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the second special symbol in the effect symbol display device 54.

  In the following, the effect symbol display device 54 will be described focusing on the symbol variation and final display of the pseudo effect symbols corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  Whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure are true or false is determined by giving priority to whether or not the second special figure is true regardless of the order of entering the first special figure starting port 56 and the second special figure starting port 58. Specifically, if there is a holding memory of the first special figure, the determination of whether or not the first special figure is successful is made after the fluctuation of the second special figure is stopped and there is no holding memory of the second special figure. Do.

  When either of the first special figure and the second special figure (special symbol) is determined to be a big hit, the gaming machine 1 determines the big hit symbol and also displays the jackpot symbol on the effect symbol display device 54. The change display and the confirmation display are performed, and the jackpot game (special game) is started. The gaming machine 1 opens and closes the big prize opening 59 as a big hit game. Specifically, in the jackpot game, when a predetermined time elapses after the grand prize opening 59 is opened, or the number of game balls that have entered the big prize opening 59 reaches the predetermined number (9 in the present embodiment number). When this is done, a round game is performed a predetermined number of times, with a series of operations of closing the special prize opening 59 as one round.

  Then, the gaming machine 1 shifts to a high probability state (probability variation state) advantageous to the player after the jackpot game. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a jackpot in determining whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure are successful is set higher than in the normal state (low probability state). In addition to this, in the high probability state, the opening time of the utility model 57 that is opened when the winning pattern is a normal symbol is extended as compared with the normal state.

  In addition, the jackpot symbol of the first special figure and the second special figure includes a probability variation symbol and a non-probability variation symbol. Then, the gaming machine 1 shifts to a high probability state when the jackpot game with the probability variation symbol ends, and shifts to the normal state when the jackpot game with the non-probability variation symbol ends. And after the transition from big hits with non-probable change symbols to big hit games, the fluctuation of the first special figure, the second special figure and the normal symbol until the symbol fluctuation reaches the specified number of times (for example, 100 times) When the time is shortened, the time shifts to the short state, and the opening time of the second special figure starting port 58 is extended. Further, in the high probability state, the gaming machine 1 shortens the variation time of the first special figure, the second special figure, and the normal symbol as in the time-short state.

  Next, a main routine executed by main controller 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the main routine is composed of main processing (S1 to S12) and initial processing (S13), and is started due to an interrupt signal having a period of 2 ms or 4 ms.

  The main routine first determines whether it is a normal interrupt (S1). In the process of S1, when the process executed by the CPU shifts to this process, it is determined whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the main control RAM 102 is a predetermined value, and whether or not the normal process is executed. Judging. It should be noted that it is often determined that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt in the processing of S1 when the power is turned on, and when the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the main control RAM 102 is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined in step S1 that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt (S1: No), the main routine executes initialization (S13). The processing of S13 is performed by, for example, writing each predetermined value to the work area of the main control RAM 102, such as writing a predetermined value in a predetermined area of the main control RAM 102, and using the first special figure, the second special figure, and the common figure as an initial symbol. Execute writing etc. Also, a numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written into the main control RAM 102 as part of the processing of S13.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 that the interrupt is normal (S1: Yes), the main routine executes initial value random number update processing (S2). The process of S2 is an increment process for adding 1 to the initial value random number used in the lottery of the first special figure and the second special figure. For example, the value that the initial value random number can take is “0-3999”, and the gaming machine 1 returns the initial value random number to “0” when the initial value random number before the processing of S2 is “3999”.

  After the process of S2, the main routine executes an update process of the jackpot determination random number that is the random number value for determining whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure are appropriate (S3). The process of S3 is an increment process of adding 1 to the jackpot determination random number used in the lottery of the first special figure and the second special figure. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the process of S1. That is, the possible value of the jackpot determination random number is “0-3999”, and the number of the jackpot determination random numbers that can be taken is 4000.

  Accordingly, when the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is “1”, the probability of jackpot in the normal state is 1/200, so the number of jackpot numbers is 20 and the high probability state Since the probability of winning a jackpot is 1/20, the number of numerical values that are jackpots is 200.

  Similarly, when the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is “2”, the probability of jackpot in the normal state is 1/250, so the number of jackpot numbers is 16 and high probability Since the probability of winning a jackpot in the state is 1/25, the number of numerical values that are jackpot is 160. Further, when the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is “3”, the probability of jackpot in the normal state is 1/285, so the number of jackpot numbers is 14 and the high probability state Since the probability of winning a jackpot is 1 / 28.5, the number of jackpot numbers is 140. When the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is “4”, the probability of jackpot in the normal state is 1/300. Therefore, the number of jackpot numbers is 13, and the probability state is high. Since the probability of winning a jackpot is 1/30, the number of numerical values that are jackpot is 133.

  After the process of S3, the main routine executes a process of updating the jackpot symbol determining random numbers of the first special figure and the second special figure (S4). The process of S4 is a counter that adds “1” to the jackpot symbol determination random number used in the lottery of the first special figure and the second special figure. The jackpot symbol determining random number can take 100 values from “0 to 99”, and the process of S4 is a jackpot symbol determining random number before the processing of S4 is “99”. Return the symbol determination random number to “0”.

  Note that the probability variation entry rate of the present embodiment is 65%. For example, if the jackpot symbol determining random number is “0 to 64”, it is a probable jackpot. In this case, the gaming state becomes a high probability state until the set probability variation number M (100 times in the present embodiment) is set to 0 after the jackpot game is ended, and the opening time of the electric utility is extended. The Then, when the probability variation number M becomes 0, the gaming state shifts from the high probability state to the normal state, and the extension of the opening time of the common utility is completed. On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol determining random number is “65 to 99”, it is usually a jackpot. In this case, the gaming state becomes a normal state and the opening time of the utility player is extended until the set number of times N (100 in this embodiment) ends after the jackpot game ends. Then, when the number of time reductions N becomes 0, the extension of the opening time of the public utility item ends.

  After the process of S4, the main routine executes a process for updating the normal symbol hit determination random number (S5). The process of S5 is a counter that adds “1” to the random number for hit determination. The number of random numbers for hit determination can be 997 from “0 to 996”, and the process of S5 is for hit determination when the value of the random number for hit determination before the process of S5 is “996” Return the value of the random number to “0”. In the present embodiment, among the winning determination random numbers, 200 values “31 to 230” are determined to be winning in the normal state, and values determined to be winning in the high probability state are “31 to 828”. 798 ”.

  After the process of S5, the main routine executes an update process for reach determination random numbers related to the reach of the first special figure and the second special figure (S6). The process of S6 is a counter that adds “1” to the reach determination random number used in the lottery of the first special figure and the second special figure. The reach determination random number can have 229 values from “0 to 228”, and the process of S6 is for reach determination when the value of the reach determination random number before the process of S6 is “228”. Return the value of the random number to “0”.

  After the process of S6, the main routine executes the update process of the random number for determining the variation pattern related to the variation pattern of the first special figure and the second special figure (S7). The process of S7 is a counter that adds “1” to the random number for determining the variation pattern used in the lottery of the first special figure and the second special figure. The variation pattern determination random number can have 1021 values from “0 to 1020”, and the process of S7 varies when the value of the variation pattern determination random number before the process of S7 is “1021”. Return the value of the random number for pattern determination to “0”.

  Subsequently, the main routine executes a winning confirmation process after the process of S7 (S8). The process of S8 is to check the entrance of the game ball to the first special figure start port 56 and the second special figure start port 58, to confirm the passing of the game ball to the general start port 55, and to the big prize port 59. Entry confirmation to the player, input processing to various switches connected to the main controller 100, and the like are executed. When the gaming machine 1 determines that the game ball has entered the first special figure starting port 56 or the second special figure starting port 58 based on the processing of S8, the big hit determining random number, the big hit symbol determining random number, the fluctuation pattern Acquire and store a random number for determination and a random number for reach determination. In addition, when a game ball enters the first special figure starting port 56, when the number of stored memory of the first special symbol is maximum, or when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 58 If the number of reserved memories of the second special symbol is the maximum, these random numbers are not acquired and stored.

  The main routine executes a success / failure determination process after the process of S8 (S9). In the process of S9, a determination as to whether or not each of the first special figure, the second special figure, and the normal symbol is performed, and a symbol variation process and a special game process associated with the determination are performed.

  Subsequently, after the processing of S9, the main control device 100 performs the payout control device 110, the sub-integrated control device 120, the production symbol control device 130, the launch control device 140, the big prize opening solenoid 208, the universal game as the game progresses. Each output process for the electrical appliance solenoid 209 or the like is executed (S10). For example, the process of S10 indicates that a game ball has entered each winning mouth (first special figure starting port 56, second special figure starting port 58, large winning port 59, normal winning port 60) in the process of S8. When detected, a process including transmitting a signal including prize ball data to the payout control device 110 is executed in order to pay out the number of prize balls corresponding to the winning opening. The process of S10 is a process of outputting audio data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 120, or informing the effect symbol control device 130 of an error signal in order to notify that an abnormality has occurred in the gaming machine 1. Perform output processing.

  Next, the main routine executes a fraud monitoring process after the process of S10 (S11). The process of S11 is a process of monitoring fraud with respect to the normal winning opening 60. For example, the process of S11 is determined to be fraudulent when the number of game balls that have entered the regular winning opening 60 within a predetermined time (for example, 60 seconds) exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls). To that effect.

  Then, the main routine executes the loop process of the initial random number update process (S12) within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The process of S12 performs the same process as the process of S1.

  Next, the winning confirmation process (S8) executed in the main routine will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, in the winning confirmation process (S8), first, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the first special figure starting port 56 (S101). In the process of S101, if no game ball has entered the first special figure starting port 56 (S101: No), the winning confirmation process (S8) is skipped to the process of S105. On the other hand, when a game ball enters the first special figure starting port 56 (S101: Yes), the winning confirmation process (S8) has the maximum number (4) of the reserved memory number of the first special figure. Is determined (S102).

  In the process at S102, if the number of reserved storage of the first special figure is maximum (S102: Yes), the winning confirmation process (S8) skips to the process of S105. On the other hand, when the number of reserved memories of the first special figure is not the maximum (three or less) (S102: No), the winning confirmation process (S8) is extracted due to the entry to the first special figure starting port 56. The first special figure extraction random number hold storage process is executed to store the plurality of random number values (the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc.) as the hold storage (S103). . Subsequently, the winning confirmation process (S8) increases the number of reserved memories to be displayed on the first special figure hold number display device 63A by one, and the sub integrated control device 120 holds the current first special figure hold memory. The first special figure pending number command transmission process for transmitting the number is performed (S104), and the process proceeds to S105.

  In the process of S105, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second special figure starting port 58. In the process of S105, if no game ball has entered the second special figure starting port 58 (S105: No), the winning confirmation process (S8) ends this process and returns to the main routine. On the other hand, when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 58 (S105: Yes), the winning confirmation process (S8) determines whether or not the number of reserved memories of the second special figure is the maximum. (S106).

  In the processing at S106, if the number of reserved memories in the second special figure is maximum (S106: Yes), the winning confirmation processing (S8) ends this processing and returns to the main routine. On the other hand, if the number of reserved memories of the second special figure is not the maximum (S106: No), the winning confirmation process (S8) is a plurality of random number values extracted due to the entry to the second special figure starting port 58. The second special figure extracted random number hold storage process is executed (S107). Subsequently, in the winning confirmation process (S8), the number of reserved memories displayed on the second special figure hold number display device 63B is increased by one and the sub integrated control device 120 holds the current second special figure hold memory. The second special figure pending number command transmission process for transmitting the number is performed (S108), this process is terminated, and the process returns to the main routine.

  In the present embodiment, the winning confirmation process (S8) is performed when the number of reserved memories of the first special figure or the number of reserved memories of the second special figure is the maximum. Although the case where the figure pending number command is not transmitted has been described, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. That is, in the winning confirmation process (S8), if it is desired to notify the first special figure starting port 56 or the second special figure starting port 58 that there is a ball even at the maximum, the number of first special figure reservations The command or the second special figure hold number command may be transmitted.

  Next, the success / failure determination process (S9) executed in the main routine will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 8, in the success / failure determination process (S9), first, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous activation device that operates during the jackpot game is in operation (S111). In the process of S111, if the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S111: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) determines that the game is a big hit game, and proceeds to the special game process (S132, see FIG. 11). Transition.

  On the other hand, if the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S111: No), the success / failure determination processing (S9) is then performed on the first special figure display device 62A (second special figure display device 62B). It is determined whether the figure (second special figure) is changing (S112). Then, if the first special figure (second special figure) is changing (S112: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) is the fluctuation time of the first special figure (second special figure) being changed. It is determined whether or not elapses (S113). Then, if the symbol change time of the first special figure (second special figure) that is changing has passed (S113: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) changes the first special figure (second special figure). Is stopped, a confirmed symbol display process for confirming display is executed (S114), and the process proceeds to a special game process (S132). On the other hand, if the symbol variation time of the first special figure (second special figure) that is changing has not elapsed (S113: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) skips the process of S114 and performs the special game. The process proceeds to processing (S132).

  In the process of S112, if the first special figure (second special figure) is not changing (S112: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) is the first special figure display device 62A (second special figure display device 62B). ) Is determined whether or not the definite symbol of the first special figure (second special figure) is being displayed (S115). In the process of S115, if the fixed symbol of the first special symbol (second special symbol) is being displayed (S115: Yes), then the display time of the fixed symbol of the first special symbol (second special symbol) It is determined whether or not elapses (S116).

  And if the display time of a fixed symbol has not passed (S116: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) shifts to a special game process (S132). On the other hand, when the display time of the fixed symbol of the first special symbol (second special symbol) has elapsed (S116: Yes), the success / failure determination processing (S9) performs a fixed symbol display end setting for ending the display of the fixed symbol. (See S211, FIG. 9).

  As shown in FIG. 9, after the process of S211, the success / failure determination process (S9) determines whether or not the first special figure (second special figure) is a winning combination (S212). In the process of S212, if the confirmed symbol of the first special figure (second special figure) is a jackpot (S212: Yes), the probability change flag indicating the gaming state is “1” in the success / failure determination process (S9). It is determined whether or not (S213). The probability variation flag is set to “1” if the gaming state is a high probability state, and is set to “0” if the gaming state is a normal state.

  If the probability variation flag is 1 in the processing of S213 (S213: Yes), the success / failure determination processing (S9) sets the probability variation flag to “0” (S214). On the other hand, if the probability variation flag is 0 (S213: No), the process of S214 is skipped and the process proceeds to S215.

  The process of S215 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is “1”. It should be noted that the time reduction flag is set to “1” if the gaming state is short, and is set to “0” if the gaming state is not short. In the process of S215, if the time reduction flag is 1 (S215: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) sets the time reduction flag to “0” (S216). On the other hand, if the time reduction flag is 0 (S215: No), the process of S216 is skipped and the process proceeds to S217.

  The process of S217 is a process of starting the operation of the condition device that establishes the start condition of the jackpot game by confirming and displaying the first special chart (second special chart) that is a jackpot. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in the jackpot game. Subsequently, the success / failure determination process (S9) executes a process of starting the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (S218). Thereafter, the success / failure determination process (S9) executes a jackpot start effect process for transmitting a command for starting the jackpot effect to the sub-integrated control device 120 (S219), and proceeds to a special game process (S132).

  On the other hand, in the process of S212, if the first special figure (second special figure) is not a winning combination (S212: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) determines whether or not the probability variation flag is “1”. Is determined (S220). If the probability variation flag is “0” (S220: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) proceeds to the process of S224.

  On the other hand, if the probability variation flag is “1” (S220: Yes), the success / failure determination processing (S9) subtracts 1 from the probability variation number M (S221). After the process of S221, the success / failure determination process (S9) determines whether or not the probability variation number M has become 0 (S222). If the probability variation number M is 0 (S222: Yes), the probability variation flag is set to “0”. (S223). On the other hand, if the probability variation number M is not 0 (S222: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) skips the process of S223 and proceeds to the process of S224.

  In the process of S224, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is “1”. If the time reduction flag is “0” (S224: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) proceeds to the process of S228. On the other hand, if the time reduction flag is “1” (S224: Yes), the success / failure determination processing (S9) subtracts 1 from the time reduction count N (S225). After the process of S225, the success / failure determination process (S9) determines whether or not the time reduction count N has become 0 (S226). If the time reduction count N is 0 (S226: Yes), the time reduction flag is set to “0”. (S227). On the other hand, if the number of time reductions N is not 0 (S226: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) skips the process of S227 and proceeds to the process of S228.

  The process of S228 is a state designation command transmission process for transmitting a state designation command including information such as a probability variation flag and a time reduction flag to the sub integrated control device 120 and the effect symbol control device 130. Then, after the process of S228, the success / failure determination process (S9) proceeds to the special game process (S132).

  Returning to FIG. 8, the description will be continued. In the process of S115, if the confirmed symbol of the first special figure (second special figure) is not being displayed (S115: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) determines whether or not there is a storage of the second special figure. Is determined (S117). Then, when there is a hold memory of the second special figure (S117: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) performs a shift process of the hold memory of the second special figure (S118), and is the oldest of the second special figures. Judgment of whether or not to hold storage. In addition, along with the process of S118, the success / failure determination process (S9) subtracts 1 from the number of reserved memories in the second special figure. After the process of S118, the success / failure determination process (S9) proceeds to the process of S121 shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if there is no hold memory for the second special figure (S117: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) determines whether there is a hold memory for the first special figure (S119). And when there exists hold memory of a 1st special figure (S119: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) performs the shift process of the hold memory of a 1st special figure (S120), and is the oldest among 1st special figures. Judgment of whether or not to hold storage. In addition, along with the process of S120, the success / failure determination process (S9) subtracts 1 from the number of reserved memories of the first special figure. After the process of S120, the success / failure determination process (S9) proceeds to the process of S121 shown in FIG. Moreover, if there is no hold storage of the first special figure (S119: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) proceeds to the special game process (S132, see FIG. 11).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the process of S121 determines whether or not the probability variation flag is “1”. If the probability variation flag is “1” (S121: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) is determined as a success / failure determination table (probability variation table) and jackpot determination used when the probability state is high (probability variation is in progress). The determination of success / failure based on the random number for use is performed (S122). On the other hand, if the probability change flag is “0”, the success / failure determination process (S9) is based on the success / failure determination table (normal table) used in the normal state (not in the probability change) and the jackpot determination random number. A determination is made (S123).

  As a result, if the first special figure (second special figure) is a big hit (S124: Yes), the success / failure determination process (S9) is based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol (second special figure). Is determined (S125), and a variation pattern is determined based on the variation pattern determination random number (S126). Thereafter, the success / failure determination process (S9) executes a jackpot setting process for obtaining information on the jackpot game (opening time, opening pattern of the winning prize opening 59, number of rounds, ending time, etc.) based on the jackpot symbol determined in S125. (S127).

  On the other hand, if the first special figure (the second special figure) is not a big hit (S124: No), the success / failure determination process (S9) determines the variation pattern based on the random number for variation pattern determination (S128) and goes off. A setting process (S129) is performed.

  After the process of S127 or S129, the success / failure determination process (S9) executes a hold information transmission process of transmitting hold storage information including information indicating a decrease in the hold storage after the jackpot winning / failure determination to the sub integrated control device 120 ( S130). Thereafter, the success / failure determination process (S9) sends a symbol variation start command and a symbol designation command to the sub integrated control device 120 in order to perform symbol variation start control of the first special symbol display device 62A (second special symbol display device 62B). A special figure change start command transmission process to be transmitted is executed (S131). Note that the symbol variation start command and symbol designation command include the variation pattern of the first special symbol (second special symbol), the determination result, and the like. After the process of S131, the success / failure determination process (S9) executes a special game process (S132, see FIG. 11), and ends (returns) this process.

  Next, the special game process (S132) executed in the success / failure determination process (S9) will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 11, in the special game process (S132), first, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S141). If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S141: No), the special game process (S132) determines that the jackpot game is not in progress, ends this process, and returns to the main routine.

  On the other hand, in the process of S141, if the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S141: Yes), it is determined that the special game process (S132) is a big hit game, and then the big prize opening 59 is opened. It is determined whether it is in the middle (S142). If the special winning opening 59 is not open (S142: Yes), the special game process (S132) proceeds to the process of S221 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the process of S221, the special game process (S132) determines whether or not nine game balls have entered the special winning opening 59. If the number of game balls that have entered the big prize opening 59 has not reached nine (S221: No), the special game process (S132) has determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the big prize opening 59 was opened. It is determined whether or not (S222). If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the special winning opening 59 is opened (S222: No), the special game process (S132) ends this process as it is and returns to the main routine.

  On the other hand, when the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize opening 59 has reached nine (S221: Yes), or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the grand prize opening 59 was opened (S222: Yes), the special game In the process (S132), the special prize opening solenoid 208 is driven to close the special prize opening 59 (S223). Subsequently, the special game process (S132) executes a jackpot interval process for transmitting a command for starting an interval effect between rounds of the jackpot game from the main control device 100 to the sub integrated control device 120 (S224). Then, this process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the description of the special game process (S132) will be continued. In the process of S142, if the special prize opening 59 is not open (S142: No), the special game process (S132) closes the special prize opening 59 and then starts to open the special prize opening 59 again. It is determined whether it is during the jackpot interval (during a round of jackpot game) (S143). And if it is during a jackpot interval (S143: Yes), special game processing (S132) will transfer to the processing of S231 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the process of S231, the special game process (S132) determines whether or not a preset jackpot interval time has elapsed. If the jackpot interval time has not elapsed (S231: No), the special game process (S132) ends the process as it is and returns to the main routine.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot interval time has elapsed (S231: Yes), the special game process (S132) determines whether or not the round game ended immediately before was the final round (S232). If the round game that ended immediately before is the final round (S232: Yes), the special game process (S132) executes a process for performing a big hit game end effect (S233), and ends this process. . On the other hand, in the process of S232, if the round game ended immediately before is not the final round (S232: No), the special game process (S132) drives the special winning opening solenoid 208 to shift to the next round. A process of opening the big prize opening 59 is performed (S234), and this process is terminated.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the description of the special game process (S132) will be continued. In the process of S143, if it is not during the jackpot interval (S143: No), the special game process (S132) determines whether or not the jackpot game is being ended (S144). And if it is during the end effect of a jackpot game (S144: Yes), special game processing (S132) will transfer to the processing of S241 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the process of S241, the special game process (S132) determines whether or not the jackpot game end effect time has elapsed. If the jackpot game end effect time has not elapsed (S241: No), the special game process (S132) ends the process as it is and shifts to the main routine. On the other hand, when the end effect time of the jackpot game has elapsed (S241: Yes), the special game process (S132) executes a process for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device (S242) and the condition device. Processing for stopping the operation is executed (S243).

  Thereafter, the special game process (S132) determines whether or not the current jackpot is a probable jackpot (S244). If the current big hit is a probable big hit (S244: Yes), the special game process (S132) sets the probable change count M to “100” (S245) and sets the probable change flag to “1” (S245). S246). On the other hand, if the current big hit is not a probable big hit (S244: No), the special game process (S132) sets the number of time reductions N to “100” (S247) and sets the time reduction flag to “1” (S247). S248).

  After the processing of S246 or S248, the special game processing (S132) transmits a jackpot end command from the main control device 100 to the sub integrated control device 120 and the effect symbol control device 130 (S249). After the process of S249, the special game process (S132) ends this process and returns to the main routine.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the description will be continued. In the process of S144, if the jackpot effect is not in progress (S144: No), the special game process (S132) determines whether or not the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S145). When the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S145: Yes), the special game process (S132) executes a big prize opening process (S146). The process of S146 is a process of starting a round game, and the special winning opening 59 is opened and the first round game is started. On the other hand, in the special game process (S132), if the jackpot start effect time has not elapsed (S145: No), the process of S146 is skipped and this process is terminated as it is.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, the power interruption generation process executed by main controller 100 will be described. The power interruption occurrence process is a non-maskable interrupt process executed when the power is cut off.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the power-off generation process, when the power is cut off, the power-off flag is set to 1 (S301). Subsequently, in the power-off generation process, the RAM determination is calculated and stored (S302), and the power-off occurrence information is stored (S303). Thereafter, the power interruption generation process prohibits access to the main control RAM 102 (S304) and continues an infinite loop until the power supply is completely cut off and cannot be executed.

  Next, power-on processing executed by main controller 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The power-on process is a process executed when the power is turned on.

  First, in the power-on process, an initial process associated with power-on is executed (S401). The processing in S401 includes, for example, processing for executing a CPU security check, processing for setting a stack pointer to an initial value, and the like. Thereafter, the power-on process sets the power-off flag to 0 (S402), and permits access to the main control RAM 102 (S403).

  Next, the power-on process determines whether or not the probability setting switch 172 is ON (S404). If the probability setting switch 172 is ON (S404: Yes), the power-on process is a jackpot probability. The process proceeds to a probability setting process (S405) for setting a pattern. On the other hand, if the probability setting switch 172 is OFF (S404: No), the power-on process determines whether the RAM clear switch 171 is ON (S406). If the RAM clear switch 171 is ON (S406: Yes), the power-on process proceeds to a RAM initialization process (S407) for clearing information stored in the RAM.

  On the other hand, if the RAM clear switch 171 is OFF (S406: No), the power-on process continues to determine whether the information on occurrence of power interruption is normal (S408). Then, when the power-off occurrence information is not normal (S408: No), the power-on process proceeds to a RAM initialization process (S407). On the other hand, if the power-off occurrence information is normal (S408: Yes), the power-on process calculates a RAM determination value (S409) and determines whether the calculated RAM determination value is normal. (S410). Specifically, in the process of S410, the RAM determination value is normal when the RAM determination value calculated in the process of S409 matches the RAM determination value calculated in the process of S302 of the power-off occurrence process (see FIG. 15). Judge that there is.

  If the RAM determination value is not normal in the process of S410 (S410: No), the power-on process proceeds to a RAM initialization process (S407). On the other hand, if the RAM determination value is normal (S410: Yes), the power-on process performs a power recovery process (S411). The process of S411 performs, for example, a process of clearing information generated when the power is turned off, a process of transmitting a command for returning to the gaming state when the power is turned off, to the sub integrated control device 120 and the like. After the process of S411, the power-on process performs an interrupt permission setting (S412), and proceeds to the main routine.

  Next, the probability setting process (S405) executed in the power-on process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, in the probability setting process (S405), first, the pattern number to be displayed on the set value display device 174 is blinked and displayed (S421). At this time, the pattern number displayed on the set value display device 174 may be always constant (for example, pattern 1), and is a pattern number corresponding to the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 when the power is turned off. There may be.

  Next, the probability setting process (S405) determines whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed (S422). When the selection switch 173 is pressed (S422: Yes), the probability setting process (S405) changes the jackpot probability pattern selected as the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 (S423). Then, the pattern number displayed on the set value display device 174 is changed (S424). That is, in the state where the pattern number is blinking displayed on the set value display device 174, the big hit probability pattern to be selected is changed every time the selection switch 173 is pressed, and the pattern displayed blinking on the set value display device 174 accordingly. The number is changed. On the other hand, if the selection switch 173 has not been pressed (S422: No), the probability setting process (S405) proceeds to the process of S425.

  In the process of S425, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 is ON. If the RAM clear switch 171 is ON (S425: Yes), the probability setting process sets the selected jackpot probability pattern in the probability setting unit 105 (S426). That is, the jackpot probability pattern corresponding to the pattern number that was blinkingly displayed on the set value display device 174 when the RAM clear switch 171 was pressed is set in the probability setting unit 105, and the pattern number that has been blinking is always displayed. Switch to display. After the process of S426, the probability setting process (S405) returns to the power-on process, and proceeds to the RAM initialization process (S407).

  On the other hand, if the RAM clear switch 171 is OFF (S425: No), the process returns to S422. That is, in the probability setting process (S405), the processes from S422 to S425 are repeatedly executed until the selection switch 173 or the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed. The probability setting process (S405) changes the jackpot probability pattern to be selected when the selection switch 173 is pressed, whereas the probability setting process selects the jackpot probability pattern being selected when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed. Set in the unit 105 (S426).

  Next, the RAM initialization process (S407) will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The RAM initialization process (S407) is a process executed when the stored information in the main control RAM 102 excluding the stored contents of the probability setting unit 105 is initialized. As shown in FIG. 18, the RAM initialization process (S407) first clears the stored information in the main control RAM 102 excluding the stored contents of the probability setting unit 105 (S441). Note that the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is maintained without being cleared. Subsequently, in the RAM initialization process (S407), an initial value random number setting process is executed (S442) and the main control RAM 102 is initialized (S443). Thereafter, the RAM initialization process (S407) returns to the power-on process, and proceeds to the process of S412.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1, the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 by the RAM clear switch 171 as an operation means operated when initializing the game information stored in the main control RAM 102 is displayed. It is also used for operations when confirming. Thereby, since the gaming machine 1 can reduce the number of operation means provided in the main controller 100, the structure of the gaming machine 1 can be simplified.

  In addition, the manager of the gaming machine 1 can determine the jackpot probability pattern to be set in the probability setting unit 105 by operating the RAM clear switch 171, so that the desired jackpot probability pattern is set to the probability setting unit 105. Can be set reliably.

  Next, a modified example of the probability setting process (S405) will be described. In the above-described embodiment, the case where the selected jackpot probability pattern is set in the probability setting unit 105 by pressing the RAM clear switch 171 when selecting the jackpot probability pattern has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the gaming machine 1 can also set the selected jackpot probability pattern in the probability setting unit 105 by another method.

  Accordingly, with reference to FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, a modified example regarding a method of setting the currently selected jackpot probability pattern in the probability setting unit 105 will be described with an example. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the components same as above-mentioned 1st embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  First, the probability setting process 2 as a first modification of the probability setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The probability setting process 2 is a process executed instead of the probability setting process (S405) executed in the power-on process in the first embodiment. In the first modified example, when the selection switch 173 is kept pressed for a predetermined time (long press), the currently selected jackpot probability pattern is set in the probability setting unit 105.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the probability setting process 2 first performs a process for blinking and displaying a pattern number to be displayed on the set value display device 174 (S521). Subsequently, the probability setting process 2 determines whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed (S522). If the selection switch 173 is not pressed (S522: No), S522 is executed again. That is, the process of S522 is repeatedly executed until the selection switch 173 is pressed. When the selection switch 173 is pressed (S522: Yes), it is determined whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed for a predetermined time (i.e., pressed for a long time) (S523).

  In the process of S523, the probability setting process 2 proceeds to the process of S528 when the selection switch 173 is pressed for a predetermined time (S523: Yes). On the other hand, in the probability setting process 2, when the selection switch 173 is not pressed for a predetermined time (S523: No), the jackpot probability pattern selected as the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is changed (S524). Then, the pattern number to be blinked on the set value display device 174 is changed (S525).

  Thereafter, the probability setting process 2 determines whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed (S526). If the selection switch 173 has not been pressed (S526: No), the process of S526 is executed again. When the selection switch 173 is pressed (S526: Yes), the probability setting process 2 determines whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed for a predetermined time (S527). Then, in the probability setting process 2, when the selection switch 173 is not pressed for a predetermined time (S527: No), the process returns to the process of S524, and the process (S524, S525) for changing the selected jackpot probability pattern is performed again. . On the other hand, in the probability setting process 2, when the selection switch 173 is pressed for a predetermined time (S527: Yes), the process proceeds to S528.

  The process of S528 is a process executed when the selection switch 173 is pressed for a predetermined time (S523: Yes, S527: Yes), and sets the selected jackpot probability pattern in the probability setting unit 105. After the process of S528, the probability setting process 2 returns to the power-on process, and proceeds to the RAM initialization process (S407).

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1 in the first modified example, the selection switch 173 serving as an operation unit that is operated when selecting one jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is set in the probability setting unit 105. It is also used for operations when determining the jackpot probability pattern. Thereby, since the gaming machine 1 can reduce the number of operation means provided in the main controller 100, the structure of the gaming machine 1 can be simplified.

  In addition, the manager of the gaming machine 1 can determine the jackpot probability pattern to be set in the probability setting unit 105 by operating the selection switch 173, so that the desired jackpot probability pattern is set to the probability setting unit 105. It can be set reliably.

  Furthermore, the manager of the gaming machine 1 only has to press the selection switch 173 when selecting one jackpot probability pattern to be set in the probability setting unit 105 (that is, it is not necessary to press and hold the jackpot). To confirm the probability pattern, the selection switch 173 is pressed and held.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1, the operation of the selection switch 173 when selecting the jackpot probability pattern is different from the operation of the selection switch 173 when selecting one jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105. In this case, the manager of the gaming machine 1 can easily distinguish between the operation for selecting one jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 and the operation for determining the jackpot probability pattern. The pattern can be selected and confirmed with certainty.

  Next, a probability setting process 3 as a second modification of the probability setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The probability setting process 3 is a process executed instead of the probability setting process (S405) in the above embodiment. In the second modification, when the selection switch 173 and the RAM clear switch 171 are pressed at the same time, the currently selected jackpot probability pattern is set in the probability setting unit 105.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the probability setting process 3 first performs a process for blinking and displaying a pattern number to be displayed on the set value display device 174 (S621). Subsequently, next, the probability setting process 3 determines whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed (S622). If the selection switch 173 has not been pressed (S622: No), S622 is executed again. That is, the process of S622 is repeatedly executed until the selection switch 173 is pressed. When the selection switch 173 is pressed (S622: Yes), the probability setting process 3 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed (S623).

  The probability setting process 3 proceeds to the process of S628 when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed (S623: Yes). On the other hand, in the probability setting process 3, when the selection switch 173 is not pressed for a predetermined time (S623: No), the jackpot probability pattern selected as the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 is changed (S624). Then, the pattern number to be blinked on the set value display device 174 is changed (S625).

  Thereafter, the probability setting process 3 determines whether or not the selection switch 173 has been pressed (S626). If the selection switch 173 has not been pressed (S626: No), the process of S626 is executed again. When the selection switch 173 is pressed (S626: Yes), the probability setting process 3 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time (S627). If the RAM clear switch 171 is not pressed (S627: No), the probability setting process 3 returns to the process of S624, and again performs the process (S624, S625) for changing the selected jackpot probability pattern. On the other hand, in the probability setting process 3, when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed (S627: Yes), the process proceeds to S628.

  The process of S628 is executed when the selection switch 173 and the RAM clear switch 171 are pressed at the same time (S623: Yes, S627: Yes), and the currently selected jackpot probability pattern is set in the probability setting unit 105. To do. After the process of S628, the probability setting process 3 returns to the power-on process, and proceeds to the RAM initialization process (S407).

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 in the second modification is set in the RAM clear switch 171 and the probability setting unit 105 as operation means operated when initializing the game information stored in the main control RAM 102. The selection switch 173 as an operation means operated when selecting one jackpot probability pattern is also used for an operation when determining the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105. Therefore, since the gaming machine 1 can reduce the number of operation means provided in the main control device 100, the structure of the gaming machine 1 can be simplified.

  The administrator of the gaming machine 1 can determine the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 by simultaneous operation of the RAM clear switch and the selection switch. Therefore, the administrator of the gaming machine 1 can reliably set a desired jackpot probability pattern in the probability setting unit 105.

  Next, the probability setting process 4 as a third modification of the probability setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The probability setting process 4 is a process executed instead of the probability setting process (S405) in the above embodiment. In the third modification, when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time or longer (long press), the currently selected jackpot probability pattern is set in the probability setting unit 105. In addition, in the third modification, when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed (when the pressed time is shorter than the predetermined time), it is selected as a jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105. The jackpot probability pattern is changed.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the probability setting process 4 first performs a process for blinking and displaying a pattern number to be displayed on the set value display device 174 (S721). Subsequently, the probability setting process 4 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 has been pressed (S722). If the RAM clear switch 171 has not been pressed (S722: No), S722 is executed again. That is, the process of S722 is repeatedly executed until the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed. When the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed (S722: Yes), the probability setting process 4 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time or more (S723).

  The probability setting process 4 proceeds to the process of S728 when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time (S723: Yes). On the other hand, when the RAM clear switch 171 is not pressed for a predetermined time (S723: No), the probability setting process 4 changes the jackpot probability pattern selected as the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 (S724). At the same time, the pattern number to be blinked on the set value display device 174 is changed (S725).

  Thereafter, the probability setting process 4 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 has been pressed (S726). If the RAM clear switch 171 has not been pressed (S726: No), the process of S726 is executed again. When the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed (S726: Yes), the probability setting process 4 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time (S727). Then, the probability setting process 4 returns to the process of S724 when the pressed time of the RAM clear switch 171 is less than the predetermined time (S727: No), and a process for changing the selected jackpot probability pattern (S724, S725) is performed again. On the other hand, in the probability setting process 4, when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time or longer (S727: Yes), the process proceeds to S728.

  The process of S728 is a process executed when the RAM clear switch 171 is pressed for a predetermined time or longer (S723: Yes, S727: Yes), and sets the currently selected jackpot probability pattern in the probability setting unit 105. After the process of S728, the probability setting process 4 returns to the power-on process, and proceeds to the RAM initialization process (S407).

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1 of the third modified example, the jackpot that the RAM clear switch 171 as the operation means operated when initializing the game information stored in the main control RAM 102 sets in the probability setting unit 105. It is also used for an operation for determining the probability pattern and an operation for selecting one jackpot probability pattern to be set in the probability setting unit 105. Thereby, since the gaming machine 1 can reduce the number of operation means provided in the main control device 100, the structure of the gaming machine 1 can be further simplified.

  In addition, since the administrator of the gaming machine 1 can determine the jackpot probability pattern to be set in the probability setting unit 105 by operating the RAM clear switch, the desired jackpot probability pattern is reliably set in the probability setting unit 105. can do.

  Further, the administrator of the gaming machine 1 presses the RAM clear switch 171 shortly when changing the jackpot probability pattern to be selected, and long presses the RAM clear switch 171 when confirming the jackpot probability pattern.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 is different in operation content between an operation for changing the jackpot probability pattern to be selected and an operation for determining the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105. This makes it easy for the administrator of the gaming machine 1 to distinguish between the operation for changing the jackpot probability pattern to be selected and the operation for determining the jackpot probability pattern, so that the jackpot probability pattern is set reliably. be able to.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be easily guessed. Moreover, the numerical value quoted by the said embodiment is an example, and it is naturally possible to employ | adopt another numerical value. For example, in the present embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability varies is described as an example, but the present invention can naturally be applied to a gaming machine in which the jackpot probability does not vary.

  Although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the game information memorize | stored in main control RAM102 was cleared when changing the jackpot probability pattern set to the probability setting part 105, it is not necessarily restricted to this. That is, the gaming machine 1 may be configured to be able to change the jackpot probability pattern set in the probability setting unit 105 without clearing the game information stored in the main control RAM 102.
