[Game progress control]
In the gaming machine 1, a game in which a plurality of games corresponding to the conventional first type pachinko gaming machine are mixed is executed. That is, in the gaming machine 1, the first game using the first special figure based on the ball entering the first starting port 12 and the second game using the second special figure based on the ball entering the second starting port 13. Game is executed. The gaming machine 1 is configured to execute the second game preferentially so that the first game and the second game are not executed simultaneously.

  First, the player operates the firing handle 7 to fire a game ball toward the left side of the game area 10a. Since the game board 10 is configured to easily guide game balls flowing down the left side of the game area 10a to the first starting port 12, the game balls win the first starting port 12 with a predetermined probability.

  The effect symbols are displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11. When the start condition is satisfied by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 12, the gaming machine 1 starts the variation display of the effect symbol displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11 (first game). ). After a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the variable display, the variable display is stopped to display the effect symbol firmly. By confirming the display of the effect symbol, the player can know the determination result of the hit determination.

  In addition, on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11, an effect image or an effect image is displayed together with an effect symbol. The gaming machine 1 performs an effect of causing the player to expect a big hit by using an effect image or an effect video when repeating the change display and the confirmation display of the effect symbol.

  On the other hand, when a new game ball is awarded to the first starting port 12 during the fluctuation display of the effect symbol, the number of the hit / failure determination information on the first special figure before the hit / failure determination is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11. Displays a hold indication that suggests. However, since the upper limit of the number of the rejection determination information related to the first special map stored in the storage unit is four, the upper limit of the number of the rejection determination information suggested by the hold display is limited to four.

  When the determination result of the hit determination is a big hit, that is, when the finalized display of the effect symbol is a display indicating the big hit, the big hit game is started. When the big hit game is started, the gaming machine 1 executes the round game in which the big winning opening 15 is controlled to be open state a plurality of times until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number of gaming balls have won. When the round game starts, the player can make the large winning opening 15 win the game ball by firing the game ball toward the right side of the game area 10a.

  When the predetermined number of round games have been completed, the gaming machine 1 ends the big hit game. The gaming machine 1 starts the electric support game in which the second starting port 13 is controlled to the electric support state when the type of the big hit that is the basis of the big hit game to be ended is a predetermined type of big hit.

  The game board 10 is configured such that a game ball flowing down the right side of the game area 10a is easily guided to the second starting port 13. In the electronic support game, the opening / closing member of the second starting port 13 is easily controlled to an open state. Therefore, the player can make the second starting port 13 win a game ball by firing the game ball toward the right side of the game area 10a.

  When the start condition is satisfied by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 13, the gaming machine 1 displays the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11 similarly to the case of the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 12. The variable display of the effect symbol to be displayed is started (second game). After a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the variable display, the variable display is stopped to display the effect symbol firmly. The point where the effect image or the effect image is displayed together with the effect symbol is the same as when the game ball is awarded to the first starting port 12.

  On the other hand, when a new game ball is awarded to the second starting opening 13 during the fluctuation display of the effect symbol, the number of the hit / failure determination information on the second special map before the hit / failure determination is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11. Displays a hold indication that suggests. However, since the upper limit of the number of the rejection determination information related to the second special map stored in the storage unit is four, the upper limit of the number of the rejection determination information indicated by the hold display is limited to four.

  The case in which the result of the hit determination is a big hit is the same as when a game ball is awarded to the first opening 12. However, the win / fail judgment information on the second special map is set so that it is easier to win an advantageous big hit than the win / fail judgment information on the first special map.

  Note that the gaming machine 1 is configured so that the second game is preferentially executed so that the first game and the second game are not executed simultaneously. Even in the case where the hit determination information is stored, the hit determination of the hit determination information relating to the first special map is not executed until the hit determination information relating to the second special map is exhausted.

  As is clear from the above-described game progress, during the first game, the success / failure determination information on the first special figure is easily stored in the storage unit, and during the second game, the success / failure determination information on the second special figure is stored. It is easy to be memorized in the department. In other words, in games other than the jackpot game, the number of any memory reservations tends to approach the upper limit. Therefore, the gaming machine 1 performs the hit / fail judgment on the hit / fail judgment information stored in the storage unit in advance, and based on the judgment result of the prior hit / fail judgment when the variation display and the definite display of the effect symbol are repeated a plurality of times. A look-ahead effect that makes the player expect a big hit is performed by the effect image or the effect image.

[Read-ahead effect processing in effect control board 200]
As shown in FIG. 4, in the prefetch effect processing, the effect control board 200 acquires a winning command transmitted from the main control board 100 (S1).

  When the winning command including the success / failure determination information is acquired, the effect control board 200 determines whether or not a condition for prohibiting the prefetch effect is satisfied (S2). The conditions for prohibiting the pre-reading effect include, for example, when the reception / rejection determination information before notification of the determination result of the reception / rejection determination does not exist (when the storage suspension before digestion does not exist), the determination result of the reception / rejection determination. (A case where there is a big hit in the memory reservation before digestion) and the like.

  When the condition for prohibiting the prefetching effect is satisfied (S2Y), the effect control board 200 sets the prefetching prohibition so as not to execute the prefetching effect (S3), and ends the prefetching effect process. On the other hand, when the condition for prohibiting the prefetch effect is not satisfied (S2N), the effect control board 200 determines whether or not to execute the prefetch effect (S4). More specifically, the effect control board 200 performs the hit / fail judgment on the hit / fail judgment information included in the winning command, and determines the execution of the look-ahead effect if the judgment result of the hit / fail judgment is a predetermined judgment result. Note that the predetermined determination result may include a predetermined type of jackpot, and may include a predetermined type of loss. Further, when the determination result of the hit / fail determination is a predetermined determination result, the prefetch effect does not necessarily have to be executed, and for example, the execution of the prefetch effect may be determined at a predetermined probability.

  When the execution of the prefetch effect is determined (S4Y), the effect control board 200 determines the pattern of the prefetch effect to be executed (S5). On the other hand, if the prefetch effect is not executed, the prefetch effect process ends.

<Pre-reading production>
The look-ahead effect is an effect for expecting a big hit before notifying the determination result of the hit / fail determination of the target hit / fail determination information, but if the same look-ahead effect is used repeatedly, the player gets tired immediately. . For this reason, a look-ahead effect that can give a new bodily sensation to the player is required.

  FIG. 5 to FIG. 14 show examples of the prefetching effect performed on the gaming machine 1. In the examples of the look-ahead effects shown in FIGS. 5 to 14 shown below, the effect images are displayed in accordance with the change of the effect symbols, and the progress of the look-ahead effect when performing the hold display so as to be superimposed on the effect images is displayed on the left. The description is given in chronological order from right to left. Note that these look-ahead effects are effects including a continuous announcement effect performed in a plurality of special symbol change displays, and during the special symbol change display (first symbol change), a fourth prize is won. Yes, it is executed after the second symbol change based on the win / fail judgment information included in the winning command transmitted by the winning. That is, the special symbol change display is performed five times, and the prefetch effect is executed during the four symbol changes from the second symbol change to the fifth symbol change. Further, for simplification, the description of the new winning during the pre-reading effect is omitted.

  The effect is a story-type effect displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11, and the story develops in the order of increasing numbers. The hold display is a display that indicates the number of the pass / fail judgment information stored in the storage means, and the number is indicated by the number of the hold displays さ れ る displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11. The symbol variation indicates a state of the variation of the effect symbol displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 11, and the symbol variation of the effect symbol starts at the timing indicated by the start point of the arrow, and is indicated by the end point of the arrow. The effect symbols are confirmed and displayed at the same timing. The numbers above the arrows indicate the order of symbol fluctuation. The storage hold indicates the number of the validity / non-permission determination information actually stored in the storage means, and is equal to the number of storage hold displayed using the plurality of LEDs on the segment display unit 50.
