  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of the present embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub-board 102 include hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or RAM, This is realized by software including a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The main substrate 100 is provided by input means such as a pass gate sensor 104, a first winning opening sensor 106, a second starting winning opening sensor 108, a first winning opening sensor 110, a second winning opening sensor 112, and a payout sensor 116. Receiving various input signals for performing a game, and performing a state display driving device 120, a normal accessory driving device 122, a first special accessory driving device 124, a second special The operation control of output means such as the accessory drive device 126 and the payout device 130 is performed.

  Further, the sub-board 102 receives a signal sent from the main board 100 and an input signal from the effect button switch 150, performs various operations for executing an effect in accordance with the progress of the game, and executes the operation result. Based on the operation, the operation of the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, the effect drive device 174, and other effect devices 176 are controlled.

  The main board 100 includes a random number generation unit 210, a normal lottery unit 220, a normal display control unit 222, a normal accessory control unit 224, a special lottery unit 230, a special display control unit 240, a game state transition control unit 250, and a special game execution. It comprises means 260, small hitting game execution means 262, payout control means 270, communication control means 280, and main memory 290.

  The random number generating means 210 is a means for generating a random number for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator for generating a hardware random number or a program for generating a software random number. The software random number can be generated, for example, based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts a numerical value so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number value” is not limited to a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, and even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The normal lottery means 220 obtains a random number for normal lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passing gate sensor 104 which detects game balls passing through the passing gate 48 one by one. Ordinary lottery for storing the random number for ordinary lottery stored in the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 of the main memory 290 and read from the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 is performed.

  In detail, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary reserved storage areas of ordinary reserved storage area 1 to ordinary reserved storage area 4 as storage areas for storing the acquired ordinary lottery random numbers. One ordinary holding storage area is provided as a storage area for storing a random number for ordinary lottery read from the area 1 and subjected to ordinary lottery until the fluctuation display and the stop display of the ordinary symbol are completed. When the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the random number for ordinary lottery from the random number generating means 210, the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the random number for ordinary lottery in a state where none of the ordinary lottery storage areas 1 to 4 stores the random number for ordinary lottery. First, the random number value for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary holding storage area 1. At the time when the random number for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reservation storage area 1, the ordinary symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the random number for ordinary lottery is not stored in the ordinary reservation storage area. When the control for opening the ordinary movable member 54 of the ordinary accessory 55 is not being executed, the ordinary random number for ordinary lottery is read out from the ordinary holding storage area 1 immediately, and the ordinary lottery is performed. The random number value for lottery is stored in the ordinary hold storage area. On the other hand, whether the normal symbol is being displayed in a variable display or stopped display, that is, whether a random number value for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary holding storage area, or the control of opening the ordinary movable member 54 of the ordinary accessory 55 is performed. If it is being executed, the normal lottery storage area 1 holds the normal lottery random number value.

  Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passage gate sensor 104 and the random number value for ordinary lottery is acquired in a state where the random number value for ordinary lottery is reserved in the ordinary reservation storage area 1, the ordinary lottery means 220 is On the condition that the number of ordinary lottery random numbers held in the ordinary holding storage areas 1 to 4 is less than four, that is, on the condition that the number of ordinary holdings is less than four, The random number for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area of the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to the ordinary reserved storage area 4 where the random number for ordinary lottery is not reserved and the ordinal number is the smallest.

  Then, when the variation display and the stop display of the ordinary symbol are completed, the ordinary lottery means 220 erases the ordinary lottery random number value stored in the ordinary reservation storage area, and the ordinary lottery random value in the ordinary reservation storage area 1 is deleted. If it is held, the normal lottery is performed by reading out the random number for the normal lottery from the normal holding storage area 1 on condition that the control for opening the normal movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed. Then, the random number for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is performed is stored in the ordinary holding storage area. Here, when the ordinary lottery random number value remains after the ordinary reservation storage area 2, the remaining ordinary lottery random number value is reduced from the original ordinary reservation storage area by one ordinal number to the ordinary ordinary lot storage area. Move to For example, when the random number for ordinary lottery remains in the ordinary reserved storage area 2 to the ordinary reserved storage area 3, the normal lot storage area 1 is moved to the ordinary reserved storage area 2.

  In this way, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 holds the ordinary lottery random numbers for which the ordinary lottery has been performed up to one in the ordinary reservation storage area, and stores the ordinary lottery random values for which the ordinary lottery has not been performed. Areas 1 to 4 are held in the normal hold storage area 4 with an upper limit of four.

  Hereinafter, details of the ordinary lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs a normal hit determination process, a normal fluctuation pattern determination process, and the like as a normal lottery.

  The normal hit determination process is a process of determining the success or failure of the normal hit. In the normal winning determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines which of the plurality of types of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process with reference to the normal lottery table. Is determined according to the game state.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910, and in each ordinary lottery table, 100 random numbers for ordinary lottery from 0 to 99 are respectively stored. On the other hand, a normal hit or a loss is associated. In detail, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence between the ordinary hit or loss and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the ordinary hit is won with a probability of about 13/20. Correspondence between a normal hit or a loss and a random number for normal lottery of 0 to 99 is set such that a normal hit is won with a probability of 20. The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the game state is the normal state or the special state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probable change state or the time saving state. .

  Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to the selected ordinary lottery table and determines whether or not one ordinary lottery random number value read from the ordinary reservation storage area 1 of the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is associated with the ordinary hit. By determining, it is determined whether or not the normal winning has been won.

  Then, the normal lottery means 220 sets the normal hit winning flag to the ON state in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal hit is won, and sets the normal hit winning when the loss occurs. Set the flag to the OFF state.

  The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of the plurality of variation patterns is the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol according to the game state. In the normal fluctuation pattern determination process, when the game state is the normal state or the special state, the normal lottery means 220 determines the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol to the normal fluctuation pattern 1, and sets the game state to the probable change state or the time saving state. In some cases, the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is determined to be the ordinary variation pattern 2.

  The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on a lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs a normal symbol display control process and a normal hold display control process.

  In the ordinary symbol display control process, the ordinary display control unit 222 blinks the two lamps of the ordinary symbol display unit 72 until a variation time according to the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol determined in the ordinary variation pattern determination process elapses. In this way, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display portion 72 depending on whether or not the normal hit has been won in the normal hit determination process. Then, the result of the ordinary lottery is displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 72.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 1, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 2 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 2, Normally, the fluctuation time of the symbol is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the normal state or the special state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 1, so that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is determined. If the game state is set to 2 seconds and the gaming state at the time the ordinary lottery is performed is the probable change state or the time saving state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 2 so that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is determined. Since the time is set to 0.5 seconds, the chance of executing the ordinary lottery is more frequent when the gaming state is in the probability change state or the time saving state.

  In the ordinary hold display control process, the ordinary display control unit 222 turns on or off or blinks the two lamps of the ordinary hold display unit 74 according to the number of ordinary lottery random numbers stored in the ordinary random number storage unit 2912. Depending on the combination, the number of ordinary reserves of 0 to 4 is displayed.

  The normal accessory control means 224 controls the ordinary accessory driving device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs the ordinary accessory control processing 1, the ordinary accessory control processing 2, and the like.

  In the normal accessory control process 1, when the gaming state is the normal state or the special state, the ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating the winning of the ordinary, and the ordinary accessory is controlled until three seconds elapse. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed such that the normal accessory drive device 122 returns to the closed state after the 55 is opened.

  In the normal accessory control process 2, when the gaming state is the probable state or the time saving state, the ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating the winning of the ordinary winning, and the ordinary accessory is controlled until 5 seconds elapse. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed such that the normal accessory drive device 122 returns to the closed state after the 55 is opened.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the ordinary accessory 55 operates such that the ordinary accessory control process 2 increases the ease of entry of the game ball into the second starting winning opening 53 than the ordinary accessory control process 1 does. I do.

  The special lottery means 230 receives a detection signal from the first starting winning port sensor 106 which detects game balls entering the first starting winning port 46 one by one. The random number value is obtained and stored as the first special random number value in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290. Also, the special lottery means 230 receives a special lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the second start winning port sensor 108 which detects game balls entering the second start winning port 53 one by one. The special random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as a second special random number value. Then, the special lottery means 230 uses the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914 to perform a special lottery for determining the success or failure of the jackpot.

  In detail, the special random number storage unit 2914 is provided with four first special reserved storage areas from a first special reserved storage area 1 to a first special reserved storage area 4 as a storage area for storing the acquired first special random value. As a storage area for storing the first special random number value read from the first special hold storage area 1 and performing the special lottery until the change display and the stop display of the first special symbol are finished, one first special hold A storage area is provided, and as storage areas for storing the acquired second special random numbers, four second special storage areas of second special storage area 1 to second special storage area 4 are provided. One second special holding storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the second special random number value read from the holding storage area 1 and subjected to the special lottery until the change display and the stop display of the second special symbol are completed. To have.

  When the special lottery means 230 acquires the random number for special lottery based on the input of the detection signal from the first starting winning opening sensor 106, the special lottery storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage area 4 In the state where the first special random number value is not stored in any of them, the obtained special lottery random number value is first stored in the first special holding storage area 1 as the first special random number value. At the time when the first special random number value is stored in the first special reservation storage area 1, the first special symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the first special random number value is stored in the first special reservation storage area. Is not stored, the gaming state is not the special gaming state, and the small hitting game is not being executed, the first special random number value is immediately read from the first special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The first special random number for which the lottery has been performed is stored in the first special holding storage area. On the other hand, whether the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable display or stopped display, that is, whether the first special random number value is stored in the first special hold storage area, or whether the gaming state is the special gaming state, When the winning game is being executed, the first special random number value is held in the first special holding storage area 1.

  Then, in the state where the first special random number value is held in the first special holding storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 and the special lottery random number value is obtained, The special lottery means 230 determines that the number of the first special random number values held in the first special holding storage area 1 to the first special holding storage area 4 is less than four, that is, the first special holding number Is less than four, and is a reserved storage area of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 in which the first special random number value is not reserved and has the smallest ordinal number. It is stored as a first special random number value in one special hold storage area.

  When the special lottery means 230 acquires the random number for special lottery based on the input of the detection signal from the second start winning opening sensor 108, the special lottery storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4 In the state where the second special random number value is not stored in any of them, the acquired special lottery random number value is first stored in the second special holding storage area 1 as the second special random number value. At the time when the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area 1, the second special symbol is not in the variable display or the stopped display, that is, the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area. Is not stored, the gaming state is not the special gaming state, and the small hitting game is not being executed, the second special random number value is immediately read from the second special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special random number for which the lottery is performed is stored in the second special holding storage area. On the other hand, whether the second special symbol is being displayed in a variable display or stopped display, that is, whether the second special random number value is stored in the second special hold storage area, or whether the gaming state is the special gaming state, When the winning game is being executed, the second special random number value is held in the second special holding storage area 1.

  Then, in the state where the second special random number value is held in the second special holding storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the second starting winning opening sensor 108 to obtain the special lottery random number value, The special lottery means 230 determines that the number of the second special random numbers held in the second special holding storage area 1 to the second special holding storage area 4 is less than four, that is, the second special holding number Is less than four, the second special reserved storage area in which the second special random number value is not reserved among the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 2 and the ordinal number is the smallest. Is stored as a second special random number value in the second special reserved storage area.

  Then, when the variable display and the stop display of the first special symbol are finished, the special lottery means 230 deletes the first special random number value stored in the first special holding storage area. When the first special random number value is stored in the first special hold storage area 1, the first special hold storage is performed on condition that the game state is not the special game state and the small hitting game is not being executed. The first special random number value is read from the area 1 to perform a special lottery, and the first special random number value for which the special lottery is performed is stored in the first special holding storage area. When the change display and the stop display of the second special symbol are finished, the second special random number value stored in the second special holding storage area is deleted. When the second special random number value is stored in the second special hold storage area 1, the second special hold storage is performed on condition that the game state is not the special game state and the small hitting game is not being executed. The second special random number value is read from the area 1 to perform a special lottery, and the second special random number value subjected to the special lottery is stored in the second special holding storage area. That is, in the present embodiment, since the first special random value and the second special random value are digested in parallel, the variable display of the second special symbol is started during the variable display of the first special symbol, or the second special symbol is changed. During the variable display, the variable display of the first special symbol may be started.

  When the first special random storage value is stored in the first special storage area 1, the second special random value is stored in any of the second special storage area 1 to the second special storage area 4. The first special random number value is read from the first special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed on condition that the second special holding storage area 1 is not set to the second special holding storage area 4. When the special special random number value is stored, even if the first special random number value is stored in any of the first special holding storage area 1 to the first special holding storage area 4, the second special holding storage area is stored. The second special random number value may be read from 1 to perform a special lottery. That is, the second special random value may be digested with priority over the first special random value. In addition, regardless of the first special random value or the second special random value, the first special random value or the second special random value is read in the order stored in the special random number storage unit 2914, and a special lottery is performed. It may be performed. That is, the first special random value or the second special random value may be digested in the order in which the game balls enter the first winning port 46 or the second starting port 53.

  When the first special random number value is read from the first special reservation storage area 1 and the first special random number value remains in the first special reservation storage area 2 or later, or the second special reservation storage area When the second special random number value is read from the area 1 and the second special random number value remains in the second special reserved storage area 2 and thereafter, the remaining first special random number value or the second special random number value The random number value is moved from the original special reserved storage area to the special reserved storage area whose ordinal is smaller by one. For example, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special random number value remains in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 Stores the first special random number value stored in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 3 respectively. The second special random number value is left in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3 at the time of moving and reading the second special random number value from the second special reserved storage area 1. In this case, the second special random number stored in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3 is stored in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 2 respectively. Move to

Pattern 3 is easily determined.

  When the first special random number value is won or lost in the small hit symbol A, and when the gaming state is the normal state and the number of reserved first special random number values is two or three, the variable group is determined. In the process, the variable group lottery table B shown in FIG. 7B is referred to, and the group 1 or the group 2 is easily determined. In the first half variation pattern determination process, the loss first half variation shown in FIG. With reference to the pattern lottery table A or the loss first half variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 8B, the first half variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 3 seconds is easily determined, and the second half variation pattern determination processing is performed. Then, the second half variation pattern lottery table at the time of loss shown in FIG. 10A or the second half variation pattern lottery table B at the time of loss shown in FIG. Are, no reach varying time is set to one second or fluctuation pattern 1, time-varying reach no variation pattern 2 that is set to 2 seconds is likely to be determined.

  For the first special random number value, the small hit symbol A is won or lost, and when the gaming state is the normal state and the number of reserved first special random number values is four, in the variable group determination process, 7 (C), the group 1 is easily determined, and in the first-half variation pattern determination process, the loss-time first-half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. By reference, the first half fluctuation pattern 1 in which the fluctuation time is set to 3 seconds is easily determined, and in the second half fluctuation pattern determination processing, the loss second half fluctuation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. In addition, the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  In addition, the first special random value and the second special random value are won or lost in the small hit symbol A, and when the gaming state is the probable change state or the time saving state, the first special random number value or the second special random value is used. Regardless of the number of held numerical values, in the variable group determination process, the variable group lottery table D shown in FIG. 7D is referred to, and the group 0 is easily determined. By referring to the loss first half variation pattern lottery table H shown in H), it is easier to determine that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 second. In the second half variation pattern determination processing, FIG. By referring to the lost-time late variation pattern lottery table A, the reach-less variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  In addition, the second special random number value is won or lost in the small hit symbol A, and when the gaming state is the normal state, regardless of the number of reserved second special random number values, Since the variable group lottery table E shown in FIG. 7 (E) is referred to and the group 6 is easily determined, the first half fluctuation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. Therefore, the first half fluctuation pattern 8 in which the fluctuation time is set to 590 seconds is easily determined. In the second half fluctuation pattern determination processing, the second half fluctuation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. The reachless fluctuation pattern 1 in which the time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  Also, the first special random value and the second special random value are won or lost in the small hit symbol A, and when the gaming state is the special state, the first special random value or the second special random value is reserved. Regardless of the number, in the variable group determination process, the variable group lottery table F shown in FIG. 7F is referred to, and the group 7 is easily determined. The first-half variation pattern 9 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined with reference to the loss-time first-half variation pattern lottery table G shown in FIG. With reference to the second half variation pattern lottery table G, the reach-less variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined, and the variation time is set to 4 seconds. Is set to -9 seconds either reach varying pattern 6 reach varying pattern 8 is is likely to be determined.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first special random number value is won or loses in the small hit symbol A, in the normal state, as the number of reserved first special random number values increases, the first special random number value increases. Since a short fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time, the frequency of execution of the special lottery can be increased.

  On the other hand, as for the second special random value, when the small hit symbol A is won or a loss occurs, in the normal state, regardless of the number of reserved second special random values, the variation time of the second special symbol is extremely large. Since a long fluctuation time is often set, the frequency of execution of the special lottery can be extremely reduced.

  Regarding the first special random number value and the second special random number value, in the probable change state or the time saving state, regardless of the number of reserved first special random number values or second special random number values, the first special random number or the second special random number Since an extremely short fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time, the frequency of execution of the special lottery can be extremely increased.

  Regarding the first special random value and the second special random value, in the special state, regardless of the number of the reserved first special random value or the second special random value, when the small hit symbol A is won or a loss occurs. In both the case and the case of winning the small hit symbol B, in the first half fluctuation pattern determination processing, the first half fluctuation pattern 9 in which the fluctuation time is set to 1 second is determined, and in the second half fluctuation pattern determination processing, the fluctuation time is 4 seconds. Any of reach reach pattern 6 to reach reach pattern 8 set to seconds to 9 seconds is determined.

  Therefore, when the gaming state is the special state, even if the small hit symbol A is won or the game is lost, any one of the reach variation pattern 6 to the reach variation pattern 8 is determined in the latter half variation pattern determination process. When this is determined, the player can have a sense of expectation for winning the small hit symbol B.

  In addition, as described above, the special lottery means 230 outputs a special random number when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not in the variable display mode and the game state is not the special game state and the small hitting game is not being executed. The first special random value or the second special random value is read from the storage unit 2914, and a jackpot determination process, a symbol determination process, a variation group determination process, a first half variation pattern determination process, a second half variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed as a special lottery. When the first special random number value or the second special random value is stored in the special random number storage unit 2914, the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the change group determination process, the first half change pattern determination process, and the second half change It performs pattern determination processing and the like (prior determination means).

  More specifically, the special lottery means 230 (prior judgment means) receives a detection signal from the first starting winning port sensor 106 or the second starting winning port sensor 108 and outputs a special lottery random number from the random number generating means 210. When the numerical value is obtained, before storing the value as a first special random number value in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area Before storing as a second special random number value in any one of the first special random value or the second special random value according to the gaming state and the number of holdings at that time, a jackpot determination process and a symbol determination Processing, a change group determination process, a first half change pattern determination process, a second half change pattern determination process, and the like are performed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 performs the pre-determination process including the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variable group determination process, the first half variation pattern determination process, and the second half variation pattern determination process as the preliminary determination process. In correspondence with the first special random number value or the second special random number value that has become the target of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area. 2 is stored in one of the special hold storage areas 4.

  The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on a lottery result of the special lottery, and includes a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special hold display control. Processing and second special hold display control processing are performed.

  The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the first special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The first special symbol display unit until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time corresponding to the first half fluctuation pattern determined in the pattern determination processing and the fluctuation time corresponding to the second half fluctuation pattern determined in the second half fluctuation pattern determination processing elapses. After the first special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display section 76 in a predetermined manner.

  In the present embodiment, the display mode of the seven-segment display is predetermined in correspondence with each of the 15 types of the big hit symbol, the small hit symbol A, the small hit symbol B, and the loss, and the special display control means 240 The first special symbol display in a mode according to whether or not a big hit or a small hit has been won in the processing, and in a mode according to the big hit symbol determined in the symbol determining processing when the big hit has been determined in the big hit determination processing The first special symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on the 7-segment display of the unit 76, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76.

  The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read from the second special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special symbol display unit continues until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined in the pattern determination processing and the fluctuation time according to the second half fluctuation pattern determined in the second half fluctuation pattern determination processing elapses. After the second special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the seven-segment display 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on the seven-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 in a predetermined manner.

  Then, the special display control means 240 is in a mode according to whether or not a big hit or a small hit is won in the big hit determination processing, and when the big hit is determined in the big hit determination processing, the special display control means 240 In a corresponding mode, the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 is turned on to stop and display the second special symbol, and the second special symbol display unit 80 displays the result of the special lottery.

  In the first special hold display control process, the special display control unit 240 turns on the two lamps of the first special hold display unit 78 according to the number of the first special random number values stored in the special random number storage unit 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 first special reservation numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  In the second special hold display control processing, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special hold display unit 82 according to the number of the second special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 second special reservation numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the game state transition control means 250 changes the game state between the normal state, the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state while passing through the special game state based on the establishment of the predetermined transition condition. A game state shift control process to be shifted is performed.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and is shifted to a special game state when a special jackpot is won in a special lottery in the normal state. In the normal state, as shown in FIG. 3 (B) and the like, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 13/20, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 2 seconds, The opening time of the object 55 is set to 3 seconds, so that it is more difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 53 than in the probability change state and the time saving state.

  As for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, and the fluctuation time of the first special symbol is the fluctuation time according to the number of holdings, while the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is 591 seconds. Therefore, in the normal state, it is advantageous for the player to perform a left-hand so that the game ball enters the first starting winning port 46.

  The special game state is started based on the winning of the jackpot in the special lottery in the normal state, the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state, and the special number of rounds (number of executions) predetermined according to the type of the jackpot symbol The game ends when the game is executed.

  In detail, in the special lottery, when the special game state is started based on the winning of one of the 16 round positive variable symbols A to 16 round positive variable symbols K and the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B, The special game state ends on condition that the 16th round of the 1st to 16th special games have been executed.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the winning of the two-round positive change symbol or the two-round normal symbol in the special lottery, the condition is that two rounds of the first round to the second round of the special game are executed. The special game state ends.

  The probable change state is a special game state started based on the fact that one of the 16 round probable design A to the 16 round probable design D, the 16 round probable design F to the 16 round probable design K, and the 2 round probable design is completed. The game is started when the player wins the game, and when a special lottery is won in a special lottery in the probability change state, the game is shifted to a special game state. Then, in the probable change state, as shown in FIG. 3 (B) and the like, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, The opening time of the ordinary accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, and the frequency of controlling the ordinary accessory 55 to the open state is higher than that in the normal state and the special state, and the period is longer. The passing gate 48 is provided so that the game ball falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 passes through the passing gate 48 with high probability as described above. Most of the game balls falling in the right game area 4 enter the second start winning opening 53.

  In the probable change state, the special lottery has a winning probability of a jackpot set to be as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short as 1 second to 2 seconds. It is in a gaming state advantageous to the player to make a right-hand so that the game ball enters the second start winning opening 53. In the probable change state, the winning probability of the small hit is set to about 1/3 in the special lottery, but since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second starting winning opening 53, the small winning is set. Even if a winning game is executed, a game ball rarely enters the second special winning opening 56.

  The probability change state is ended on condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state reaches a predetermined number of times, and the state is shifted to the special state. In detail, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is 100, 80, 60, 40, 20, or 1 times for each of the 16 round probable design A to the 16 round probable design K and the 2 round probable design. When the special game state started based on the winning of each probable symbol is ended, the game state transition control means 250 determines the value corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each probable symbol ( For example, 80) is written to the specified number counter 2930 of the main memory 290. Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the probable change state, a decrement update for subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game count from the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 is performed, and the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 becomes When the threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the probable change state is ended and the special state is started.

  The special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state reaches the specified number or when the special game state started based on the fact that the 16 round probability change symbol E has been won is completed, When a jackpot is won in a special lottery in a special state, the game is shifted to a special game state. In the special state, as shown in FIG. 3B, for the ordinary lottery, similarly to the normal state, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 13/20, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is 2 seconds. Is set to 3 seconds, and the opening time of the ordinary accessory 55 is set to 3 seconds. Since the frequency of controlling the ordinary accessory 55 to be in the open state is lower than that in the probable change state and the time saving state, the period is shorter. Of the game balls falling in the right game area 4, the number of game balls passing through the right passage 52 without entering the second starting winning opening 53 increases, but if the right-handed operation is continuously performed, the number of the game balls held is (2) A game ball enters the second starting winning opening 53 to such an extent that the special random number value does not disappear.

  In the special state, as in the case of the probability change state, the winning probability of the jackpot is set to be as high as about 1/50, and the variation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short, from 1 second to 2 seconds. Further, the winning probability of the small hit is set to be extremely high as about 1/2, and the small hitting game is frequently executed, so that the game ball that has passed through the right passage 52 without entering the second starting winning opening 53 is set. Is easy to enter the second big winning opening 56. Therefore, the special state is a gaming state in which it is advantageous for the player to make a right-hand so that the game ball enters the second big winning opening 56.

  When the special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state reaches the specified number of times, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state and the special state is set as the probability change number in advance. When the game is completed on condition that the predetermined number of times has reached 10,000, on the other hand, when the special game state is started, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state is set in advance as the probability of change. The process is terminated on condition that the number has reached 10,000 times, and the state is shifted to the normal state. More specifically, the game state transition control means 250 stores the main memory 290 when the game state is shifted to the certain state after the special game state is ended, or when the game state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state. A value corresponding to 10000 times (for example, 10000) is written as the specified number of times in the probability change counter 2931, and each time a special lottery is performed in the probability change state or the special state, the number of games corresponding to one game count is stored from the value stored in the probability change counter 2931. A decrement update for subtracting a value to be performed (for example, 1) is performed. When the stored value of the probability change counter 2931 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special state is ended and the normal state is started. However, in the special state, the probability of winning a jackpot in the special lottery is set to about 1/50, so the jackpot is won before the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probable state or the special state reaches 10,000. In most cases, the state is started, and there is almost no transition from the special state to the normal state. That is, the special state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

  The time saving state is started when the special game state started based on one of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B and the 2 round normal symbols is completed. If a jackpot is won by lottery, the game is shifted to a special game state. Then, in the time saving state, as shown in FIG. 3 (B) and the like, the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20 for the ordinary lottery, as in the probable variation state, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is 0. Since the opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the second starting winning opening 53. It has become.

  For the special lottery, although the jackpot winning probability is set as low as about 1/315, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short as 1 second to 2 seconds. It is in a gaming state that it is advantageous for the player to make a right strike so that the game ball enters the two-start winning port 53. In the time-saving state, the winning probability of a small hit is set to about 1/3 in the special lottery. However, since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second starting winning opening 53, a small Even if a winning game is executed, a game ball rarely enters the second special winning opening 56.

  The time reduction state is terminated on condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the time reduction state reaches a predetermined number of times, and the state is shifted to the normal state. In detail, in the present embodiment, the prescribed number of times for the 16 round normal symbol A is preset to 80 times, and the prescribed number of times for the 16 round normal symbol B is 60 times, and each regular symbol is won. When the special game state started based on is completed, the game state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each normal symbol into the specified number of times counter 2930. Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the time saving state, a decrement update for subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game number from the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 is performed, and the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 is changed. When a threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the time reduction state is ended and the normal state is started.

  FIG. 13 (A) shows that the 16 round positively changing symbols A to 16 round positively changing symbols E, 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B that can be won in the special lottery for the first special random number value are in the normal state, It is a figure showing the specified number determination table A for determining the specified number of times after the end of the special game state when winning in each of the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (A), in the prescribed number of times determination table A, the prescribed number of times for the 16-round probable change symbol A is the same as in the normal state, the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state. It is determined to be 80 times.

  Regarding the 16-round probability change symbol B, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60, regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time saving state. .

  Regarding the 16 round probability change symbol C, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 40 regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time saving state. .

  Regarding the 16-round probability change symbol D, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 20 regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time saving state. .

  Regarding the 16 round probable change symbol E, regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state, the special number is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state. .

  Regarding the 16 rounds of the normal symbol A, the specified number of times of the time reduction state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time reduction state. .

  Regarding the 16 rounds of the normal symbol B, the specified number of times of the time reduction state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time reduction state. .

  FIG. 13 (B) is a 16-round probable design E to 16 round probable design K, a 2-round probable design, 16-round normal design A to 16 round normal design B, 2 which can be won in the special lottery for the second special random value. It is a figure which shows the specified number determination table B for determining the specified number of times after the end of the special game state, when each of the round normal symbols is won in each of the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time saving state. .

  As shown in FIG. 13 (B), in the prescribed number of times determination table B, when the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability changing state, or the time saving state for the 16 round probability changing pattern F, the probability changing state after the end of the special game state is displayed. The specified number of times is determined to be 100 times, and when the special game is won, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

  In the case of winning in the 16-round probability change symbol G in the normal state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times. The specified number of times of the probable change state after the end of the gaming state is determined to be 80 times, and when the special state is won, the specified number of times of the probable change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

  In the case of winning in the 16-round probability change symbol H in the normal state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and in the case of winning in the probability change state, the special state, or the time saving state. , The prescribed number of times of the certainty change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

  Also, for the 16 round probability change symbol I, if the winning is made in the normal state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times. The prescribed number of times of the probability change state after the end of the gaming state is determined to be 40, but if the special state is won, the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state, so the prescribed number of times is not determined.

  Also, for the 16 round probability change symbol J, if the winning is performed in the normal state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100, and if the winning is performed in the probability change state or the time saving state, the special number is determined. The prescribed number of times of the probable change state after the end of the gaming state is determined to be 20, but if the special state is won, the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state, so the prescribed number of times is not determined.

  In the case of winning in the 16-round probability change symbol K in the normal state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times. The specified number of times of the probable change state after the end of the gaming state is determined to be one. However, when the special state is won, the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state, so the specified number of times is not determined.

  Regarding the 16 round probable change symbol E, regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state, the special number is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state. .

  Regarding the two round probable change symbols, the prescribed number of times of the probable change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60, regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probable change state, the special state, and the time saving state.

  Regarding the 16 rounds of the normal symbol A, the specified number of times of the time reduction state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time reduction state. .

  Regarding the 16 rounds of the normal symbol B, the specified number of times of the time reduction state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 regardless of whether the winning is performed in the normal state, the probability change state, the special state, and the time reduction state. .

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the game state is shifted between the normal state, the certain change state, the special state, and the time saving state while passing through the special game state. Since the normal state, which is the initial state, is a gaming state in which left-handing is to be performed as described above, a special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state. When the winning and any one of the 16 round probability changing symbols A to 16 round winning are performed, the game is shifted to the probability changing state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table A shown in FIG. 13A is referred to, and is the specified number of times when any of the 16 rounds of the variable probability A to the 16 rounds of the variable probability D is won in the normal state. Times, 60 times, 40 times, or 20 times are set as the prescribed number of times of the probability change state.

  Then, the probable change state is a gaming state in which a right strike is to be performed as described above, and unlike the normal state, a special lottery is basically performed on the second special random number value, and in the probable change state, without winning a jackpot. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the specified number of times corresponding to each probable symbol, the state is shifted to the special state.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot is won in the normal state and any one of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B is won, the game is shifted to the time saving state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number determination table A shown in FIG. 13A is referred to, and is the specified number of times when any of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B is won in the normal state, ie, 80. Times or 60 times is set as the prescribed number of time saving states.

  Then, the time saving state is a gaming state in which a right-hand should be performed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the same manner as the probable change state, and without winning a jackpot in the time saving state When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches a specified number corresponding to each normal symbol, the state is shifted to the normal state.

  The special state is a gaming state in which a right strike is to be performed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random value in the same manner as the probability change state and the time saving state, and small hit games are frequently performed. In addition to being executed, the frequency of controlling the common accessory 55 to be in the open state is lower than that in the probability changing state and the time saving state, and the period in which the normal accessory 55 is controlled to be in the open state is shorter. Since the game balls are easy to enter, the more the small hits are won without winning the big hits, the more game balls can be obtained by the small hit games.

  In the special state, when the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round positive change symbols E and the 16 round positive change symbols I to 16 rounds wins, the special state is returned to the special state after the end of the special game state. .

  On the other hand, when the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16-round probable change symbol F to the 16-round probable change symbol H and the 2-round probable change pattern is won, the game is shifted to the probable change state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 13B is referred to, and in the special state, any one of the 16-round probable variable design F to the 16-round probable variable design H and the 2-round probable variable design is won. The specified number of times of 60 is set as the specified number of times of the probability change state.

  In addition, when the jackpot is won in the special state and one of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B and the 2 round normal symbols is won, the game is shifted to the time saving state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number determination table B shown in FIG. 13B is referred to, and in the special state, one of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B and the 2 round normal symbols is won. The prescribed number of times, 80 or 60, is set as the prescribed number of times in the time saving state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the special state and the special game state are repeated as long as any one of the 16-round probable design E and the 16-round probable design I to the 16-round probable design K is won in the special state. In the special game state, many game balls can be obtained by the special game in the special game state.

  The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on a lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 2 and the like.

  The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that any one of the 16 round positive change symbols A to 16 round positive change symbols K and the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B has been won in the special lottery. 260 sets a value (for example, 16) corresponding to 16 times, which is a predetermined number of rounds for the 16-round positive change symbol and the 16-round normal symbol as an upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290, and Each time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in the special game, an increment update for adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one round number to the stored value of the round counter 2933 is performed. Do. When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 16), the special game state ends.

  More specifically, in the special game execution process 1, in the special game of each of the first to sixteenth rounds, the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened. Or, when the first special winning opening sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added. When reaching (for example, 10), the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933, assuming that the end condition of one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the winning of a two-round positive change symbol or a two-round normal symbol in the special lottery. The special game execution means 260 sets the upper limit of the round counter 2933 to a two-round positive change symbol and two rounds. A value (for example, 2) corresponding to two times, which is a predetermined number of rounds for a normal symbol, is set, and each time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in a special game of each round. Then, an increment update for adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round to the stored value of the round counter 2933 is performed. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 2), the special game state ends.

  More specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each of the first round and the second round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the first special role 51 is opened, or is large. When the value of the winning number counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933, assuming that the end condition of one round is satisfied.

  The small hitting game executing means 262 is a means for executing a small hitting game based on winning of a small hit in the special lottery, and performs a small hitting game executing process 1 to a small hitting game executing process 2.

  The small hitting game execution process 1 is executed based on the winning of the small hitting symbol A in the special lottery. In the small hitting game execution process 1, the small hitting game execution means 262 performs the first round of the small hitting game. (2) The second special role driving is performed such that the operation of closing the second special role 58 only once is performed 0.8 seconds after the second special role 58 is opened (in the first mode). The drive of the device 126 is controlled.

  Then, when the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the special winning number counter 2936, and the second special winning number counter 2936 is added. When the accessory 58 completes the operation according to the small hitting game execution processing 1 or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit (for example, 10), it is determined that the condition for ending the small hitting game of one round is satisfied. , End the small hit game.

  The small hitting game execution process 2 is executed based on the win of the small hit symbol B in the special lottery. In the small hitting game execution process 2, the small hitting game executing means 262 performs the first round of the small hitting game. The second special occasion (in a second mode) is such that the operation of closing the second special occasion 58 is repeated 14 times when 0.8 seconds elapse after the second special occasion 58 is opened. The driving of the driving device 126 is controlled.

  Then, when the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the special winning number counter 2936, and the second special winning number counter 2936 is added. When the accessory 58 completes the operation of the small hitting game execution processing 2 or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is determined that the end condition of the small hitting game of one round is satisfied. , End the small hit game.

  The payout control unit 270 detects the detection signal from the first starting winning opening sensor 106, the detection signal from the second starting winning opening sensor 108, the detection signal from the first winning opening sensor 110, and the detection signal from the second winning opening sensor 112. Based on the input of the detection signal, control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls for each detection signal. In detail, the payout control unit 270 transmits a command to cause the payout device 130 to pay out four game balls each time the first starting winning port sensor 106 detects winning of one game ball, Each time the starting winning opening sensor 108 detects winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 sends a command to pay out one game ball, and the first big winning opening sensor 110 sends one game ball. Each time a prize is detected, a command to pay out 15 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and each time the second large winning opening sensor 112 detects a prize of one game ball, the payout device 130 is output. To send out a command to pay out 15 game balls.

  The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the game balls of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank for storing the game balls, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor so that the specified number of game balls can be obtained. Have them pay out from the game ball tank. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that is activated each time one game ball is paid out, and the payout control means 270 controls the payout device 130 based on the payout signal from the payout sensor 116 to actually pay out. It is possible to manage the number of issued game balls.

  The communication control unit 280 controls transmission of various commands generated according to various calculation results on the main board 100 to the sub-board 102. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, only one-way communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication is established so that information cannot be transmitted.

  Further, the communication control means 280 includes a hall computer 140 which is a computer for centrally managing the gaming machines installed in the amusement arcade, a data counter 142 which is individually connected to the gaming machines and displays information relating to the gaming history of the gaming machines, and the like. To output an external signal to the external device 144. Specifically, the communication control means 280 outputs to the hall computer 140 and the data counter 142 a first external signal for notifying that the special lottery has been performed each time the special lottery is performed, and a special jackpot in the special lottery. Upon winning, a second external signal is output each time a special game is executed, notifying that a jackpot has been won.

  When the first external signal is output, the hall computer 140 and the data counter 142 update and display the number of special lotteries in the gaming machine. When the second external signal is output, the hall computer 140 and the data counter 142 output the data. At the counter 142, the number of jackpot winnings in the gaming machine is updated and displayed.

  Next, the sub-substrate 102 will be described. The sub-board 102 includes an effect control unit 300 and a sub-memory 310.

  The effect control means 300 performs an effect display based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, an input signal from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. By controlling the device 170 to turn on or off the effect lamps such as the front frame lamp 12, the display frame lamp 38 and the specific lamp 39, to display the effect image on the liquid crystal display 32, and to control the audio device 172 to control the speaker 14 By controlling the directing device 176, for example, to output a directing sound or to drive the directing object driving device 174 to operate the directing object, the effect for exciting the game or assisting the game is provided. The effect device 176 is caused to execute.

  In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 32. The effect control means 300 controls one frame (1/1) based on the effect image data. The moving image is reproduced and displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 by drawing an image on the frame buffer of the sub memory 310 every 60 seconds) and displaying the drawn image on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Then, the effect control unit 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as processes for causing the effect device 176 to execute the effect.

  In the state effect processing, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 according to the current game state based on the game state on the main board 100 or a command corresponding to the value of the counter, or changes the background image. By changing the effect or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14, an effect that suggests the current game state to the player is executed.

  For example, when the current gaming state is a special state, the effect control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display an image indicating that the current gaming state is the special state, and the current gaming state is changed to a certain state or In the case of the time saving state, the liquid crystal display 32 displays an image indicating that the current game state is the probable change state or the time saving state.

  When the current game state is the special game state, the effect control means 300 indicates on the liquid crystal display 32 that the current game state is the special game state, and the special game of the round is executed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether the game is in progress is displayed.

  In the special lottery effect process, when the pre-determination process is performed on the main board 100, the effect control unit 300 performs an effect lottery for temporarily determining the effect content of the special lottery effect based on a command according to the pre-determination result, When a special lottery is performed on the main board 100, an effect lottery for finally determining the effect content of the special lottery effect is performed based on a command according to the result of the special lottery. Then, the first special symbol display unit 76 is adjusted to match the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol, or the second special symbol display unit 80 is adjusted to match the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol. The effect device 176 executes a lottery effect.

  More specifically, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display a background image (not shown) as shown in FIG. 350, a medium effect symbol 352 and a right effect symbol 354 are displayed. The effect control means 300 reads out the first special random number value from the first special hold storage area 1 and performs a special lottery every time a special lottery is performed. Each time a special lottery is performed by reading the second special random number value from the second special holding storage area 1 or at the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display section 80, FIG. As shown in (B), after variably displaying the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354, it is determined whether or not a jackpot has been won in the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery. , And in a mode according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process when the jackpot is won, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect. By stopping the display of the pattern 354 and changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 or reproducing and displaying the effect moving image in which the character image operates in a manner corresponding to each of the plurality of effect patterns, the effect pattern is displayed. Is performed on the liquid crystal display 32. The downward arrow in the drawing indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being fluctuated at high speed.

  In detail, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 sets the random number value for the effect lottery based on the command according to the result of the preliminary determination or the command corresponding to the result of the special lottery input from the main board 100. A plurality of random number values such as a first half effect pattern determination random number value and a second half effect pattern determination random number value are obtained, and a first half effect pattern determination process, a second half effect pattern determination process, and the like are performed as an effect lottery.

  The first half effect pattern determination process determines, based on one acquired first half effect pattern determination random number value, which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half of the special lottery effect. This is the process to do. In the first half effect pattern determination processing, the effect control means 300 determines which one of the plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 to perform the random number determination processing. Is selected according to the first half variation pattern determined in the first half variation pattern determination processing.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the first-stage effect pattern is stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 3112 corresponding to the case where the result of the first-stage fluctuation pattern determination processing on the main board 100 is each of the first-half fluctuation pattern 1 to the first-half fluctuation pattern 9. Nine types of first-stage effect pattern lottery tables of a lottery table A to a first-half effect pattern lottery table I are stored (not shown). In each of the first half effect pattern lottery tables, one of a plurality of types of first half effect patterns is associated with each of the 100 first half effect pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99. Then, if the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first half effect pattern lottery table A, and if the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2. , The first half effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and so on, the first half effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half fluctuation pattern determined in the first half fluctuation pattern determination processing.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first-stage effect pattern lottery table to determine which one of the first-stage effect pattern determination random values is associated with one of the plurality of first-stage effect patterns. One first half effect pattern is determined from the first half effect pattern.

  The second half effect pattern determination process determines, based on one acquired second half effect pattern determination random value, which of a plurality of types of second half effect patterns the second half effect pattern corresponding to the second half of the special lottery effect. This is the processing to be performed. In the second half effect pattern determination process, the effect control unit 300 determines which of the plurality of types of second half effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 3112 is to be referred to to perform the random number determination process in the second half variation. The selection is made according to the second half variation pattern determined in the pattern determination processing.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the result of the latter half variation pattern determination processing on the main board 100 corresponds to each of the non-reach variation pattern 1 to the non-reach variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5. In the effect lottery table storage means 3112, eight types of second-half effect pattern lottery tables from the second-half effect pattern lottery table A to the second-half effect pattern lottery table H are stored (not shown). In each of the second half effect pattern lottery tables, for each of the 100 second half effect pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of reach-less effect patterns (non-winning mode) and a plurality of types of second half effect patterns are provided. Are associated with each other. Then, when the result of the second half variation pattern determination process is the variation pattern 1 without reach, the effect control means 300 selects the second half effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second half variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern 1. In this case, the second half effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the second half effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the second half fluctuation pattern determined in the second half fluctuation pattern determination process.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected latter-stage effect pattern lottery table, which one of the latter-stage effect pattern determination random numbers is associated with one of a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. Is determined, a single no-reach effect pattern or a single reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of no-reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

  Here, an effect time is set for each of the plurality of types of first effect patterns, and the effect time of the first effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table A is the same as the change time of the first change pattern 1. The effect time of the first half effect pattern that is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table B is set to the same 5 seconds as the change time of the first half change pattern 2, and so on. The effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the change time of the first half change pattern corresponding to each first effect pattern lottery table.

  In addition, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of no-reach effect patterns and the plurality of types of the reach effect patterns, and the effect time of the plurality of types of no-reach effect patterns that can be determined by the second half effect pattern lottery table A is as follows. In each case, the variation time of the reach variation pattern 1 is set to the same 1 second as the variation time of the reach-less variation pattern 1. The same 20 seconds is set, and so on, the rendering time of a plurality of types of no-reach effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by each second-half effect pattern lottery table corresponds to each second-half effect pattern lottery table. Unreachable variation pattern or reach variation pattern It is set to be the same as the dynamic time.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the change display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. The execution is started, and the special production time is determined by a total production time of the production time according to the first production pattern determined in the first production pattern determination process and the production time according to the second production pattern determined in the second production pattern determination process. Execute a lottery effect. As a result, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 and the production time of the special lottery effect are synchronized.

  For example, if a loss occurs in the jackpot determination processing, and if a no-reach effect pattern is determined in the second-half effect pattern determination processing, the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit in the first special symbol display unit 76. With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol at 80, as shown in FIG. 14B, the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 14), first, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to be slightly shaken without being completely stopped in one of the modes (the mode indicating “5” in FIG. 14C). As shown in FIG. 14D, the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a different mode (non-reach mode) from the left effect symbol 350.

  Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display section 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display section 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. The left special design 350 and the right special design 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a different manner (various loss form), and the first special design in the first special design display 76 or the second special design in the second special design display 80 is stopped. At substantially the same timing as displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (F), each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is completely stopped in a different manner (barrage loss manner). Is displayed.

  In addition, for example, when a jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, or when a loss occurs in the jackpot determination process, and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second half effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol display unit With the start of the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display section 80 at 76, as shown in FIG. 15A, a left effect symbol 350, a middle effect symbol 352, and a right effect. The variable display of the symbol 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 15 (B), first, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 15 (C), the medium effect symbol 352 is variably displayed. The right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner (reach mode) as the left effect symbol 350 while being left. Then, as shown in FIG. 15D, the reproduction and display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol display portion 80 or the first special symbol display portion 80 in the first special symbol display portion 76 is started. The reproduction display of the effect moving image is ended within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in.

  More specifically, in the example of FIG. 15D, an effect moving image in which the main character A fights the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect moving image is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 displayed at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect symbol 350 corresponds to the upper right corner of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The reduced left rendering symbol 360, the reduced rendering symbol 362 corresponding to the middle rendering symbol 352, and the reduced right rendering symbol 364 corresponding to the right rendering symbol 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 15D, the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), and the reduced effect symbol 362 is variably displayed.

  Then, when the jackpot has been won, as shown in FIG. 15 (E), at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, an effect animation in which the main character A wins the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed. At the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the effect during reduction is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner (big hit mode) as the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364, thereby winning the jackpot. It is provisionally notified to the player.

  Then, the effect animation in which the main character A wins the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 15 (F), the left effect symbol 350 temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the middle effect After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 stop at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. In addition to being displayed, the speaker 14 outputs a sound effect notifying the player that the jackpot has been won, so that the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has been won.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot has not been won, as shown in FIG. 15 (H), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, an effect animation in which the hero character A is defeated by the enemy character B is reproduced and In the upper right corner of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the lost symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the reduced left rendered symbol 360 and the reduced right rendered symbol 364 (reach loss mode). It is provisionally notified to the player.

  Then, the moving image in which the hero character A loses to the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 15 (I), the left effect symbol 350 temporarily displayed and the middle effect symbol temporarily stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, as shown in FIG. As a result, the loss is definitely notified to the player.

  Here, in the special lottery effect processing, in both the case of winning a jackpot and the case of a loss, a common effect movie may be reproduced and displayed, so when the common effect movie is reproduced and displayed, It is possible to greatly increase the player's expectation of winning the jackpot.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 change on the liquid crystal display 32 in an effect pattern corresponding to the change type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. By displaying, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner according to the result of the special lottery while increasing the player's expectation of winning the jackpot. By displaying the final stop after that, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player.

  In the hold display effect processing, the effect control unit 300 determines whether or not the effect control unit 300 has been suspended in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 based on a command corresponding to the first special reserve number or the second special reserve number on the main board 100. An image showing the status of the first special random value or the second special random value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16A, the first special holding storage area 1 to the first special holding storage area 4 or the second special holding storage area 4 of the special random number storage unit 2914 are provided below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Four hold display areas (display areas) of a first hold display area 411 to a fourth hold display area 414 are provided corresponding to the special hold storage areas 1 to 2 and the special hold storage areas 4. In the area, as shown in FIG. 16A, a first reserved image 420 indicating which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16B, a second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value can be displayed. Has become.

  To be more specific, the effect control means 300 determines that the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special holding storage area 1 to the second special holding storage area 4 and the first special holding storage area 1 In the case where the first special random number value is stored in the first special storage area 411, the first special image 420 is displayed in the first special display area 411, and the first special random storage value is stored in the first special special storage area 1 and the first special special storage area 2, respectively. When one special random number value is reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on. If no second special random number value is stored in any of the second special holding storage areas 4, the first special random number values held in the first special holding storage area 1 to the first special holding storage area 4 are stored. 1st hold display area according to the number of 411 and displays the first hold image 420 in each of the fourth hold display area 414. In the example of FIG. 16A, the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 are not stored. Since the first special random number value is held in each of the special holding storage areas 3, the first holding image 420 is displayed in each of the first holding display area 411 to the third holding display area 413.

  Further, the effect control means 300 stores the second special reserved storage area 1 in the second special reserved storage area 1 regardless of which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value. When the second special random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2 are displayed in the second special reserved storage area 2 respectively. When the random value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on. When the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reservation storage areas 4, the number of the second special random number values reserved in the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4 According to the first hold display area 41 In each of the to fourth hold display area 414 displaying the second hold image 422. In the example of FIG. 16B, the second special random number value is reserved in each of the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2, so that the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first special holding storage area or the second special holding storage area of the special random number storage unit 2914 is provided in an area below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 to the left of the first holding display area 411. Is provided, the hold display area 430 is provided. In the hold display area 430, the first special random number value is read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the first special hold storage area 430 is read. When stored in the special reserved storage area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed. When the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the second special reserved storage area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed. 2 reserved image 422 is displayed.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 16A, the first special random number value is read from the first special reservation storage area 1, a special lottery is performed, and the first special random value is stored in the first special reservation storage area. Then, the effect control means 300 moves the first reserved image 420 displayed in the first reserved display area 411 to the reserved display area 430 as shown in FIG. Then, the variable display of the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is replaced by one ordinal number from the original hold display area. Display control for moving to a small hold display area is performed. As a result, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value targeted for the current special lottery, and the first reserved image displayed in the first reserved display area 411 and thereafter. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value to be subjected to the next special lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (D), when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are stopped and displayed to display the result of the current special lottery, the result is stored in the first special holding storage area. When the first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. Then, when the first special random number value is further read out from the first special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the production control means 300, not shown, displays the first holding random number value displayed in the first holding display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430, and the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and is displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area with an ordinal number smaller by one.

  Although not shown, in the state where a plurality of second special random number values are held in the second special holding storage area 1 to the second special holding storage area 4, the second special random number value is stored in the second special holding storage area 1. Is read and a special lottery is performed, and the second special random number value is stored in the second special holding storage area. Then, the effect control unit 300 determines the second holding image 422 displayed in the first holding display area 411. Is moved to the hold display area 430 and the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the second display displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is performed. Display control is performed to move the suspension image 422 from the original suspension display region to the suspension display region having the ordinal number smaller by one. Accordingly, the second reserved image 422 displayed in the reserved display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value to be subjected to the current special lottery, and the second reserved image displayed in the first reserved display area 411 and thereafter. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value to be subjected to the next special lottery.

  The effect control means 300 obtains the first special random value or the second special random value in accordance with the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random value or the second special random value, and then obtains the first special random value. Alternatively, the first special random number value is obtained until the change display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed for the second special random value, or after the first special random value or the second special random value is obtained. Alternatively, a look-ahead effect 176 is provided for the first special random number value or the second special random number value obtained immediately before the second special random number value until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed. To run. In the present embodiment, as the prefetch effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random value or the second special random value for which the execution of the prefetch effect is determined. The image is changed, an effect image is displayed around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, an object image such as a character image is displayed, or a special background image different from a normal background image is displayed. Or In this embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state or the penalty state, the second special random number value does not perform the look-ahead effect, and when the gaming state is the probable change state, the special state, or the time saving state, The prefetch effect is not performed for the first special random value.

  Here, the production control means 300 determines whether the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random value is a jackpot, or a lost jackpot. In some cases, only when the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern, a look-ahead effect is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, in each of the variable group lottery tables A to F shown in FIG. 7, of the 0 to 99 variable group determination random numbers, 90 variable groups 0 to 89 are selected. Each of the determined random numbers is associated with one of groups 0 to 7 excluding group 4 and group 5. For each of the eight variable random numbers of 90 to 97, the group 4 is associated with each of the two random group determination random numbers 98 to 99, and the group 5 is associated therewith. Depending on the number of holds or the game state, there are cases where the non-reach fluctuation pattern is determined and cases where the reach fluctuation pattern is determined. If the random number value is any of 90 to 99, regardless of the number of holding or gaming state is always determined reach varying patterns, so that the never without reach varying pattern is determined.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special lottery means 230 is in the case of a loss in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, and the variation group determination random value included in the first special random value or the second special random value. Is set to any of 0 to 89, indeterminate value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is not determined to be determined is set as a preliminary determination result. Sets fixed value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is always determined as the pre-determination result.

  And if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is that the jackpot has been won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not to execute the prefetch effect for the first special random value or the second special random value. Perform a look-ahead production lottery, but if the jackpot is not won, determine whether the pre-determination result includes fixed value information, and if the fixed value information is included , A pre-reading production lottery is performed.

  Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the point in time at which the pre-determination processing is performed on the first special random number value or the second special random number value and the point in time when the special lottery is performed on the same first special random number value or second special random value are performed. Even if the number of holds changes, if a special lottery is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value for which execution of the look-ahead effect has been determined, a jackpot is won or a loss occurs. Also, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

  When the effect control means 300 determines the execution of the prefetch effect in the prefetch effect lottery for the first special random number value, the first special reservation storage area and the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage The first special random number value reserved in the area 4 and included in the pre-determination result is included in the first special random number value acquired earlier than the first special random value determined to execute the prefetch effect. The first special random value that is the result of the jackpot determination process that has been won, or the result of the jackpot determination process that is included in the pre-judgment result is missing, but the fixed value information is included in the pre-judgment result When there is no first special random number value, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  In addition, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined by the look-ahead effect lottery for the second special random value, the second special hold storage area and the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4 are held. In the second special random number value obtained before the second special random value value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect has been determined is included in the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result. The second special random number value in which the result has been won, or the second special random number value in which the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is lost, but the fixed value information is included in the pre-judgment result When there is no special random value, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  Thereby, in the present embodiment, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random value or the second special random value, the jackpot winning for the already reserved first special random value or the second special random value is determined. If it is confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, and if it is determined that the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, the special lottery effect will be executed with the fixed jackpot The pre-reading effect can be started after the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery effect based on the reach effect pattern that has been executed or has been determined to be executed ends. .

3. Control Method of Present Embodiment Hereinafter, a control method of the present embodiment will be described in detail. As described above, in the probable change state and the time saving state of the present embodiment, the frequency of controlling the ordinary accessory 55 to the open state is higher than the special state, and the period in which the ordinary accessory 55 is controlled to the open state is longer. Even if the player hits right, most of the game balls enter the second start winning opening 53, so that it becomes difficult for the game balls to enter the second big winning opening 56 in the small hitting game, so the small hit is frequently won. Even small hit games make it difficult to obtain game balls.

  On the other hand, in the special state, the frequency of controlling the ordinary accessory 55 to be in the open state is lower than in the probability change state and the time saving state, and the period in which the ordinary accessory 55 is controlled to be in the open state is shorter. Since it is easy to pass through the right passage 52 without entering the winning opening 53, it is easy for the game ball to enter the second big winning opening 56 in the small hitting game, so that the small hit without winning the big hit The more hits are won, the more game balls can be obtained by the small hit game.

  Here, in the present embodiment, in the small hitting game based on the winning of the small hitting symbol A (the second result is obtained) (the small hitting game of the second mode), the second special role 58 is set to 0. Since the operation of opening for 8 seconds is performed only once, even in the special state, only 0 to 1 game balls often enter the second special winning opening 56, and the game balls are not paid out. Or 15 game balls are often paid out, but in the small hit game based on the winning of the small hit symbol B (the first result was obtained) (the small hit game in the first mode), the second Since the operation of opening the special accessory 58 for 0.8 second is repeated 14 times, in the special state, 8 to 10 game balls often enter the second big winning opening 56, and 120 Up to 150 game balls are often paid out.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the small hit game does not increase the number of game balls held by the player in the probability change state and the time saving state, but in the special state, the small hit game based on the winning of the small hit symbol A causes the special state. By keeping the number of game balls paid out per minute in, the number of game balls held by the player is not greatly reduced, and the small game held by the small hit symbol B based on the winning of the small game B allows the game held by the player to be held. The sphere is increasing.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the probability change state or the time saving state, when the small hit symbol A is won and when the small hit symbol B is won, a process for giving the same impression to the player as in the case of a loss is performed.

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be described below. The above embodiments and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  First, in the above-described embodiment, when the small hit symbol B is won and the gaming state is the probable change state or the time saving state, the no-reach fluctuation pattern 1 is determined as the second half fluctuation pattern, and the left effect symbol 350, The example in which the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in a loose-fitting manner has been described. However, any of the reachless variation patterns 1 to 3 is determined, and the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and The right effect symbol 354 may be determined and stopped and displayed in a displaced manner, or any of the reach variation patterns 1 to 8 may be determined, and the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 may be displayed in the reach loss mode. May be displayed for confirmation.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the small hit symbol B is won and the gaming state is the special state, each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 indicates “1”. When the big hit is won and the big hit is won, regardless of the gaming state, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 each indicate "7", and the fixed stop image is displayed. However, when the small hit symbol B is won and the gaming state is the special state, each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is " When the jackpot is won and the probability variation symbol is determined in the jackpot mode indicating "1" or "3", the left rendering symbol 350, middle, regardless of the gaming state, is determined. Each of the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is fixedly stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode indicating “5” or “7”. When the jackpot is won and the normal symbol is determined, the left effect is performed regardless of the game state. Each of the symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 may be fixedly stopped and displayed in a jackpot manner indicating an even number.

  That is, when the small hit symbol B is won and the gaming state is the special state, when the big hit is won and the certainty-variable symbol is determined, and when the big hit is won and the normal symbol is determined, the left The effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 may be determined and stopped and displayed in different jackpot modes.

  In addition, in the case where the small hit symbol B is won and the gaming state is the special state, and in the case where the big hit is won and the probability change symbol is determined, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are provided. Is displayed in a fixed jackpot manner, but when the jackpot is won and the normal symbol is determined, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in different jackpot modes. You may do so.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when a loss occurs, the specific lamp 39 is lit in green, but when the small hit symbol A is won, when the small hit symbol B is won, and when the big hit is won, The example in which the specific lamp 39 is illuminated in red has been described. However, when a loss occurs, the specific lamp 39 is not illuminated, and when the small hit symbol A is won, the small hit symbol B is won. In the case and the jackpot is won, the specific lamp 39 may be lit in red.

  In other words, when a loss occurs, the effect by the specific lamp 39 is not executed, and when the small hit symbol A is won, when the small hit symbol B is won, and when the big hit is won, the specific lamp 39 is used. An effect may be executed.

  In the case of a loss, the specific lamp 39 is not lit or is lit green, and when the small hit symbol A is won, when the small hit symbol B is won, the specific lamp 39 is lit red. When the jackpot is won, the specific lamp 39 may be lit in white.

  In other words, the effect of the specific lamp 39 may be different between a case where a loss has occurred, a case where a small hit has been won, and a case where a large hit has been won.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment and the modified example, the example in which the lighting color of the specific lamp 39 changes according to the result of the special lottery has been described. However, the specific display displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 according to the result of the special lottery, The display of the 7-segment display controlled by the effect control means 300 may be changed.

  And even if it does in this way, if a losing occurs, regardless of the game state, the specific display and the display of the 7-segment display are displayed in the first mode. When B is won and when the jackpot is won, the specific display or the display of the 7-segment display may be displayed in the second mode regardless of the game state, or in the case of loss, If the specific display or the 7-segment display is not displayed, it is displayed in the first mode. If the small hit symbol A is won, if the small hit symbol B is won, the specific display or the 7-segment display is displayed in the second mode. When the jackpot is displayed in the mode and the jackpot is won, the specific display and the display of the 7-segment display may be displayed in the third mode. That is, the specific display and the display of the 7-segment display may be displayed in a common manner when the small hit symbol A is won and when the small hit symbol B is won.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the special game ends, an example is described in which the acquired number notification effect of notifying the total of the game balls paid out in the special game on the liquid crystal display 32 is executed. In response to the game balls entering the two-prize winning opening 56, the game balls to be paid out may be displayed so as to be added one by one, for example, "+1, +2, +3 ..." The number of game balls to be paid out in response to one game ball entering the second special winning opening 56 may be displayed collectively, for example, by displaying “+15”.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the second special accessory 58 is operated will be described in both the small hit game based on the win of the small hit symbol A and the small hit game based on the win of the small hit symbol B. However, different special occasions corresponding to different big winning prize openings may be operated in the small hit game based on the win of the small hit symbol A and the small hit game based on the win of the small hit symbol B. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the first special accessory 51 is operated in the special game and the second special accessory 58 is operated in the small hit game has been described. However, the same large game is used in the special game and the small hit game. The same special accessory corresponding to the winning opening may be operated.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which a left strike is performed in the normal state and a right strike is performed in the probable change state, the time saving state, the special state, and the special game state. A configuration may be made such that a left strike is performed in the state, and a right strike is performed in the special state and the special game state.

  In this case, for example, while providing the pass gate 48, the first starting winning opening 46, the first big winning opening 49, and the first special occasion 51 at a position where the game ball can enter only by left-handing, the normal occasion is provided. 55 is provided in the first starting winning opening 46, and in the probability change state and the time saving state, the first special accessory 51 is opened in the small hitting game, but the frequency of controlling the ordinary accessory 55 to the open state is high. Becomes longer, most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the left side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the first starting winning opening 46, and even if the small hitting game is executed, the gaming balls are turned into the first big winning opening. Make almost no entry to 49.

  Then, while providing the second starting winning opening 53, the second big winning opening 56, the second special accessory 58, and the dummy accessory 60 at a position where the game ball can enter only by right-handing, the ordinary accessory 55 is placed in the second position. Not provided in the start winning opening 53, the small special game in the special state, the special game in the special game state, and the second special role 58 is in the open state, so that many game balls in the small game and the special game are opened. It is possible to enter the second big winning opening 56.

  In this case, when the small hit symbol B is won, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 change in any of the reach change patterns 6 to 8 regardless of the game state. After it is displayed, the game is confirmed and stopped in a jackpot manner, a bonus notification effect is executed, a second external signal is output, the number of consecutive winnings is updated, and the pseudo-combination 60 along with the second special combination 58 is operated and acquired. A number notification effect may be executed. Further, in this case, even when the big hit is won, the pseudo-combination 60 may be operated together with the second special combination 58.

  In the above-described embodiment and the modified example, when the small hit symbol B is won and the gaming state is the special state, the second external signal is output from the start of the small hitting game to the end thereof. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped and displayed for the special lottery in which the small hit symbol B is won (after the first result is obtained in the game lottery), (2) An external signal may be output.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment and the modified example, when a loss occurs and the small hit symbol A is won, the second external signal is not output, and when the small hit symbol B is won and when the big hit is won, Has been described using an example in which the second external signal is output. However, when the small hit symbol B is won and when the big hit is won, the small hit symbol A is won while the second external signal is output. In this case, the third external signal dedicated to the small hit symbol A may be output, or the fourth external signal dedicated to the small hit symbol A when the small hit symbol A is won and when the small hit symbol B is won. A signal may be output. When the small hit symbol B is won, a small hit external signal indicating that the small hit has been won is output, and when the big hit has been won, a big hit external signal indicating that the big hit has been won is output. Then, when a loss occurs and when the small hit symbol A is won, neither the small hit external signal nor the big hit external signal may be output.
