The detection result of the ball sensor 384 is input to the main control unit 331. The main control unit 331 (MPU41) transmits a command for causing the payout control device 7 to pay out the game ball according to the detection results of the ball entry sensors 313a to 317a. Hereinafter, the detection of the entry of a game ball by the entry sensors 313a to 316a may be referred to as winning. Further, the main control unit 331 (MPU41) counts the number of out balls based on the detection result of the out ball sensor 318a. The number of out balls counted here coincides with the number of launched game balls launched on the game board 31 by the game ball launch mechanism 32.

Further, the main control unit 331 (MPU41) determines that the game ball detected based on the detection result of the special out ball sensor 384 is a special out ball that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 described later. The special out-ball detection command shown is set, and this special out-ball detection command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the external output process of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. 23. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 counts the number of special out balls.

The ball entry sensors 313a to 317a, the out ball sensor 318a, and the special out ball sensor 384 are, for example, electromagnetic induction type proximity sensors, but it is possible to individually detect the ball entry of a game ball by another detection method. Any sensor may be used.

Further, the second winning opening 315 is provided with an electric accessory (electric role) 315b for switching whether or not there is a restriction on the entry of the game ball into the second winning opening 315.

Then, in the game board 31, the opening of the electric accessory 315b enables the entry of the game ball into the second winning opening 315, and the closing of the electric accessory 315b allows the gaming ball to enter the second winning opening 315. The sphere is restricted.

Further, the variable winning opening 316 is provided with an opening / closing door 319 for switching whether or not there is a restriction on the entry of the game ball into the variable winning opening 316. The opening / closing door 319 is opened / closed by a driving means such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 31. Then, in the game board 31, the opening / closing door 319 enables the entry of the game ball into the variable winning opening 316, and the opening / closing door 319 restricts the entry of the game ball into the variable winning opening 316. The door. The opening / closing door 319 is moved to a position where the variable winning opening 316 is opened in the round game in the opening / closing execution mode in the jackpot game, and is otherwise waited at a position where the variable winning opening 316 is closed. As a result, the game ball 99 launched in the right area of the game board 31 in the round game in the jackpot game can enter the variable winning opening 316.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the opening / closing door 319 has a base 319a, a pair of guard walls 319b, and a pair of guides 319c. The base 319a has a pair of attachment portions 319d for rotatably attaching the opening / closing door 319 to the game board 31, and projects slightly upward from the game board 31 when the opening / closing door 319 is in the operating position. .. As a result, the opening / closing door 319 can receive the game ball 99 launched into the right region of the game board 31 when it is in the operating position. The pair of guard walls 319b extend at the left and right edges of the base 319a to prevent the game ball 99 received by the base 319a from spilling from the left and right sides of the base 319a. Further, the pair of guides 319c guide the game ball 99 received by the base 319a to the variable winning opening 316. The pair of guides 319c extend from the guard wall 319b to the vicinity of the variable winning opening 316, forming a gap through which the game ball 99 can pass. Further, the variable winning opening 316 has a penetrating portion 316b that discharges the game ball 99 received by the opening / closing door 319 to the back side of the game board 31. The penetrating portion 316b communicates with the taxiway 316c provided on the back side of the game board 31. The taxiway 316c extends in the vertical direction D2 and has a lower opening. Then, the game ball 99 received by the opening / closing door 319 enters the variable winning opening 316 and is guided to the crune device 37 via the penetrating portion 316b and the taxiway 316c. The taxiway 316c is provided with a ball entry sensor 316a. As a result, the game ball 99 entered into the variable winning opening 316 is detected when it passes through the penetrating portion 316b and is introduced into the taxiway 316c. The ball entry sensor 316a is electrically connected to the main control unit 331. As a result, the detection result of the ball entry sensor 316a is input to the main control unit 331, and the main control unit 331 can detect that the game ball 99 has entered the variable winning opening 316.

In the game machine 10, when the entry of the game ball into the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315 is detected by the entry sensor 314a or the entry sensor 315a, the main control unit 331 performs a big hit lottery. Then, the main control unit 331 controls the display of the main display unit 36 according to the lottery result in the big hit lottery. Further, the lottery result by the main control unit 331 is transmitted to the sub control unit 332, and the sub control unit 332 controls the display of the variable display unit 34 and the like according to the lottery result.

Further, in the game machine 10, when the entry of the game ball into the general winning opening 313, the first winning opening 314, the second winning opening 315, and the variable winning opening 316 is detected by the entry sensors 313a to 316a, A preset number of prize balls will be paid out. For example, the number of prize balls when entering the general winning opening 313 is 10, the number of winning balls when entering the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315 is 3, and the number of winning balls is entered into the variable winning opening 316. If so, the number of prize balls is 10. In particular, in the game machine 10, when the lottery result performed by the main control unit 331 is a big hit, the game shifts to the big hit game state (special game state), and the variable winning opening 316 is opened, which will be described later. ) Is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 or 16 times), so that a large amount of prize balls can be expected to be paid out.

Further, when the game ball wins in the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315, the jackpot lottery is executed. Then, when the lottery result is won, the game shifts to a predetermined jackpot game state which is more advantageous than the normal game state. In the present embodiment, the jackpot gaming state includes a 5R jackpot gaming state (5R normal jackpot gaming state and a 5R probability variation jackpot gaming state), and a 16R probability variation jackpot gaming state. In the 5R jackpot game state, there are five round games (unit games) in which the variable winning opening 316 is opened until a predetermined time elapses or until a maximum number (for example, 9) or more game balls are won in the variable winning opening 316. It is a gaming state including an opening / closing execution mode to be performed. The 16R probability variation jackpot game state is a game state including an open / close execution mode in which a round game (unit game) is performed 16 times, and a larger amount of prize balls can be expected to be paid out than in the 5R jackpot game state, compared to the 5R jackpot game state. It is an advantageous gaming state for the player.

As shown in FIG. 4, the variable display unit 34 has a symbol display unit 341 such as a liquid crystal display that is visibly arranged through an opening 31A formed in a substantially central portion of the game board 31. The symbol display unit 341 displays a still image or a moving image, and the display content of the symbol display unit 341 is controlled by the sub control unit 332. Specifically, in the symbol display unit 341, a variable display effect of the decorative symbol according to the lottery result in the jackpot lottery performed by the main control unit 331 according to the ball entering the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315. , And various image effects such as the variable game effect executed in association with the variable display effect are performed. Further, the symbol display unit 341 may be a dot matrix display, a plasma display, an organic EL display, or the like, or may be a combination of a liquid crystal display or a plasma display and an organic EL display.

For example, in the variable display effect of the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 341, for example, a plurality of types of decorative symbols with numbers "1" to "9" are scrolled in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, the diagonal direction, and the like in order. Will be done. In addition, a sub-design such as another character or a design may be displayed between the decorative symbols. Further, in the present embodiment, there are no sub-symbols, and there are nine types of decorative symbols "1" to "9".

In the game machine 10, in the variable game, the decorative symbol variation display is executed so that the variation of all the decorative symbols stops after the lapse of the preset variation display time from the start of the symbol variation display on the symbol display unit 341. Will be done. More specifically, in the variation display of the decorative symbol, first, all the decorative symbols are varied along the preset variation directions (for example, the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, etc.), and the variation of the plurality of decorative symbols is stopped in order. Then, when the variation of the decorative symbol on all the lines is stopped and a predetermined time elapses, the variation display of the decorative symbol ends.

When the variation display of the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 341 is completed, the symbol display unit 341 displays a state in which the decorative symbols are lined up on one or a plurality of effective lines. At this time, the stopped state of the decorative symbol clearly or suggests the lottery result in the jackpot lottery by the main control unit 331. For example, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", "16R probability variation jackpot" or "5R normal jackpot", the state in which the same type of decorative symbols are lined up on the effective line is displayed, and it is clearly indicated that it is a jackpot. Will be done. In addition, the jackpot type may be specified by the combination of decorative symbols on the effective line, but it is not always specified. Specifically, for example, when the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot", a state in which, for example, "777" symbol combinations set as symbol combinations indicating 16R probability variation jackpot among the decorative symbols are lined up on the effective line. Is displayed, or a state in which combinations of the same decorative symbols other than "777" are lined up on the effective line is displayed. Further, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", a state in which symbol combinations such as "333", which are set in advance as symbol combinations indicating 5R probability variation jackpot among the decorative symbols, are lined up on the effective line is displayed. Or, a state in which the same combination of decorative symbols other than the combination of symbols indicating 16R probability variation jackpot or 5R probability variation jackpot such as "777" and "333" is lined up on the effective line is displayed. Further, when the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", other than the combination of decorative symbols such as "222" and "444" which are set in advance as a symbol combination indicating a normal jackpot among the decorative symbols. The state in which the same combination of decorative patterns is lined up on the effective line is displayed. When the lottery result is "off", a state in which a combination of different decorative symbols is lined up on the effective line (for example, "323" or "723") is displayed.

Further, the symbol display unit 341 displays a variable display of the decorative symbol in the variable game and a variable game effect suggesting the degree of expectation that the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit. If the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot" and a state in which jackpot symbol combinations other than the decorative symbol combination indicating the 16R probability variation jackpot is lined up on the effective line is displayed, the 5R probability variation jackpot is displayed as a variable game effect. Alternatively, a suggestion effect suggesting that the 5R is a normal jackpot is executed. In this case, in the jackpot game effect, a promotion effect that clearly indicates that the lottery result for the variable game is a 16R probability variation jackpot is executed. Similarly, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot" and a state in which jackpot symbol combinations other than the decorative symbol combination indicating the probability variation jackpot are lined up on the effective line is displayed, the 5R normal jackpot is displayed as a variable game effect. A suggestion effect suggesting that is is executed. In this case, in the jackpot game effect, a promotion effect or the like that clearly indicates that the lottery result for the variable game is a 5R probability variation jackpot is executed.

Further, when the game state shifts to the jackpot game state, the symbol display unit 341 displays a jackpot game effect including an opening effect, an opening / closing execution mode effect, and an ending effect.

Further, it is conceivable to provide the game board 31 with a magnet sensor and a radio wave sensor (both not shown). The magnet sensor is provided, for example, around the first winning opening 314 and the variable winning opening 316. The magnet sensor is electrically connected to the main control unit, and the detection result of the magnet sensor is input to the main control unit 331. As a result, when an act of illegally guiding the game ball to the first winning opening 314 or the variable winning opening 316 using a magnet is performed, the fraudulent act can be detected. On the other hand, the radio wave sensor is provided around, for example, the first winning opening 314 and the second winning opening 315. The radio wave sensor is electrically connected to the main control unit 331, and the detection result of the radio wave sensor is input to the main control unit 331. As a result, when an act of illegally inputting radio waves to the ball entry sensors 314a and 315a to erroneously detect the entry of a game ball is performed, the fraudulent activity can be detected. The radio wave sensor can detect radio waves of, for example, 50 MHz to 3 GHz.

As shown in FIG. 4, the crune device 37 puts the game ball entered in the variable winning opening 316 into either the normal out ball opening 378 or the special out ball opening 373 (see FIGS. 7 and 8) described later. It is something to sort. Here, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an opening / closing door 319, a crune device 37, and a game ball staying portion 38 provided on the game board 31 shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the crune device 37, and FIG. 8 is FIG. It is sectional drawing which follows the X1-X1 cutting line of.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the crune device 37 has a dish shape having a bottom wall 371 and an annular peripheral wall 372 surrounding the bottom wall 371. The bottom wall 371 is circular in a plan view, and has a high bottom portion 371a, a low bottom portion 371b, and a downward-sloping inclined portion 371c provided between the high bottom portion 371a and the low bottom portion 371b.

The high bottom portion 371a constitutes a right side portion of the bottom wall 371 and is inclined downward to the right. The high bottom portion 371a is provided with a special out ball passage 374 having a special out ball mouth 373 (special discharge port). The special out ball passage 374 is provided adjacent to the right edge of the inclined portion 371c and extends in the vertical direction D2 at the central portion of the high bottom portion 371a in the front-rear direction D1. The special out ball passage 374 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the game ball 99. Further, a first guide member 375 is connected to the lower end of the special out ball passage 374. The first guide member 375 is for guiding the game ball 99 passing through the special out ball passage 374 to the game ball retention portion 38. The first guide member 375 has an upper opening 375a and a lower opening 375b connected to the lower end portion of the special out ball passage 374. The lower opening 375b is provided on the right side of the upper opening 375a, and discharges the game ball 99 of the special out ball passage 374 from the right side of the special out ball passage 374 toward the game ball retention portion 38.

It is also possible to give the first guide member 375 a function of retaining the game ball 99 that cannot be retained in the game ball retention portion 38. By the way, in the present embodiment, the numbers (specific information) corresponding to the non-set values that are the game set values other than the set values that are the game set values set in the game machine 10 are set in the predetermined period (see FIG. 9). It is presented on the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the number of game balls 99 (the number of specific conditions satisfied in a predetermined period) that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37. Further, in the present embodiment, since the number of segments of the 7-segment display unit 39 is 7 (excluding the dot point DP), one non-set value can be reliably specified with 7 pieces of information. Further, since the game setting values are in 6 stages of 1 to 6, there are 5 non-setting values, and therefore all the non-setting values can be specified by 35 pieces of information. That is, the game machine 10 is required to be able to present at least 35 pieces (specified number of pieces of information) of information. Therefore, it is preferable that the game ball retention unit 38 is configured so that a predetermined number or more of game balls 99 can be retained during a specific period (see FIG. 9) described later. However, depending on the arrangement of various members of the game machine 10, it may be difficult to configure the game ball retention portion 38 to retain a predetermined number or more of the game balls 99. In this case, by providing the first guide member 375 with a function of storing the game balls 99, a number of game balls 99, which is difficult to be stored only by the game ball retention portion 38, are retained by using the first guide member 375. be able to. As a result, it becomes possible to retain a predetermined number or more of the game balls 99 in a specific period, and the information necessary for specifying all the non-set values is presented. Similarly, the game ball 99 may be retained in the special out ball passage 374 to which the first guide member 375 is connected. As a result, due to the arrangement of various members, it is difficult to retain more than the specified number of game balls 99 even if the first guide member 375 has a function of retaining the game balls 99 as well as the game ball retention portion 38. In such a case, it is possible to retain a predetermined number or more of the game balls 99 by using the special out ball passage 374. As a result, it becomes possible to retain a predetermined number or more of the game balls 99 in a specific period, and there is a possibility that information necessary for specifying all the non-set values is presented.

On the other hand, it is also conceivable to set a limit on the number of game balls 99 to be retained in a specific period. For example, it is conceivable to set the limit number to the specified number (match the limit number with the specified number). In this case, for example, when the number of information (individual information of specific information) corresponding to the number of game balls 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 is presented, all the non-set values are set in one specific period. Information may be provided to identify. Further, when information on the number of game balls 99 that satisfy a predetermined condition among the game balls 99 to the special out ball mouth 373, for example, the number corresponding to the number of winning lottery is presented, the lottery is won. The expected number of information according to the probability is presented, and since the expected number of this information is basically smaller than the specified number, it is possible that not all the information necessary to identify all the non-set values is presented. There is. As a result, it is possible to prevent the set value from being specified by the entry of the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 in one specific period, and as a result, when the set value is low (when the jackpot probability is low). In addition, it is possible to prevent the player from ending the game on the game machine 10 during the game at an early stage.

As a means for setting a limit on the number of game balls 99 to be retained in a specific period, for example, a configuration in which the game balls 99 are retained in the game ball retention portion 38, the first guide member 375, and the special out ball passage 374 is adopted. However, when a limited number of game balls 99 are entered into the special out ball passage 374, the game balls 99 are positioned in the vicinity of the special out ball mouth 373 (by causing a ball jam), which is special. It is conceivable to limit the entry of the game ball 99 into the out ball passage 374. According to such a configuration, it is possible to limit the number of game balls 99 to be retained for a specific period to a limited number by a simple mechanical configuration without requiring a complicated configuration or control.

On the other hand, the game ball retention portion 38 has a retention lane 381 inclined downward to the left as described later. That is, the first guiding member 375 guides the game ball 99 to the right portion (upstream side) of the retention lane 381 in the game ball retention portion 38. Then, the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 does not enter the various winning openings 313 to 316, and does not pass through the through gate 317. Therefore, the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 is when the ball cannot be expected to enter the various winning openings 313 to 316 or pass through the through gate 317, for example, when it is introduced into the special out ball passage 374 (special). It is treated as an out ball at the time when it is detected by the out ball sensor 384).

The low bottom portion 371b constitutes the left side portion of the bottom wall 371 and is inclined so as to be low toward the center. The lower bottom 371b is provided with a normal passage 376 having a normal out ball mouth 378. The normal passage 376 is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction D2 at a position adjacent to the left edge of the inclined portion 371c, except for a portion along the peripheral wall 372 in the lower bottom portion 371b. The normal passage 376 is for guiding the game ball 99 that has entered through the normal out ball mouth 378 to the back side of the game board 31, and has a semi-cylindrical shape having a larger opening area than the special out ball mouth 373. Is formed in. A second guide member 377 is connected to the lower end of the normal passage 376. The second guide member 377 collects the game balls 99 passing through the normal passage 376 on the back side of the game board 31 in the same manner as the game balls passing through the opening of the out port 318. Then, the game ball 99 collected by the second guide member 377 is detected by the out ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12) and counted as an out ball.

In such a crune device 37, a game ball 99 launched into the right region of the game board 31 and received by the opening / closing door 319 as described above is guided by the taxiway 316c. Then, the game ball 99 guided by the crune device 37 moves on the bottom wall 371 along the peripheral wall 372. As a result, the flow of the game ball 99 is delayed in the crune device 37. Then, most of the game balls 99 moving on the bottom wall 371 usually have an out ball mouth due to, for example, a decrease in kinetic energy and a collision with the peripheral wall 372 of the crune device 37 or another game ball 99. Enter the ball at 378. The game ball 99 that has entered the normal out ball mouth 378 moves through the normal passage 376 and the second guide member 377 and is guided to a position that can be detected by the out ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12).

On the other hand, a part of the game ball moving on the bottom wall 371 usually changes its moving direction due to a collision with the peripheral edge of the out ball mouth 378 or another game ball, and enters the special out ball mouth 373. To do. The game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 is discharged toward the game ball retention portion 38 via the special out ball passage 374 and the first guide member 375.

Here, the probability of the game ball 99 moving on the bottom wall 371 entering the special out ball mouth 373 is set to, for example, 0.5% or more and 5% or less, preferably 1% or more and 3% or less. .. In other words, the expected number of balls to enter the special out ball mouth 373 per 10R round game is set to, for example, 0.5 or more and 5 or less, preferably 1 or more and 3 or less. By setting the ball entry probability or the expected number of ball entry in such a range, it is possible to prevent the player from identifying the set value at an early stage, but it is possible to realistically specify the set value. It will be possible. As a result, while preventing the game on the game machine 10 from being terminated when the set value is specified early, such as when the set value is low, the game machine is bored due to the inability to specify the set value. It is possible to prevent the game at 10 from being terminated.

In the present embodiment, the special out ball mouth 373 is provided on the high bottom portion 371a of the bottom wall 371, and the normal out ball mouth 378 has a larger opening area than the special out ball mouth 373. Therefore, the special out ball mouth 373 Is significantly more difficult for the game ball 99 to enter than the normal out ball mouth 378, but in place of or in addition to all or part of these, the game ball is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 by other means. It is also possible that 99 makes it difficult to enter the ball. For example, it is conceivable to provide an inhibitory means for inhibiting the entry of the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 in the peripheral portion of the special out ball mouth 373. Examples of the blocking means include an obstacle that hinders entry into the special out ball mouth 373, such as a wall surrounding the special out ball mouth 373, and a magnetic force or electromagnetic force that repels the game ball 99 in the peripheral portion of the special out ball mouth 373. A means for generating a force and a means for forming an air curtain by ejecting air around the special out ball mouth 373 can be considered.

Further, an opening / closing portion for opening / closing the special out ball mouth 373 may be provided, and this opening / closing portion may make it difficult for the game ball to enter the special out ball mouth 373. In this case, the special out ball mouth 373 may be provided on the same plane as the normal out ball mouth 378, and the normal out ball mouth 378 is formed as having the same or substantially the same opening area as the special out ball mouth 373. May be good.

Further, the distribution means for distributing the game ball 99 entered in the variable winning opening 316 into the normal out ball opening 378 and the special out ball opening 373 is not limited to the crune device 37, and may be another means. For example, by adjusting the arrangement of a rotating member such as a switching valve, a rotating member, or a nail placed on the game board 31, the normal out ball mouth 378 and the special out ball mouth 373 may be distributed. ..

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the game ball retention unit 38 receives the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, and retains the game ball 99 until a specific period elapses. Is. Then, after the elapse of the specific period, the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39, which will be described later, are controlled, and 7 according to the cumulative number of the game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 by the elapse of the predetermined period. A number is displayed on the segment display unit 39. Here, FIG. 9 shows a specific period for retaining the game ball in the game ball retention portion, a predetermined period for accumulating the number of game balls that have entered the special out ball mouth of the crune device, and specific information indicating a non-set value. It is a figure for demonstrating the specified period to be displayed on a 7-segment display part.

In the following, referring to FIG. 9, the game ball 99 has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 for a predetermined period as a period for retaining the game ball 99 in the game ball retention portion 38. As the period for accumulating the number, all the numbers (specific information) indicating the non-set value based on the number of the game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in the "specified period" in the specific period, or Although a part of the period is described as a period for displaying a part on the 7-segment display unit 39, the "specific period" is not limited to the period for retaining the game ball 99 in the game ball retention unit 38, and the "predetermined period" is the crune device. It is not limited to the period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of 37. That is, the "specific period", "predetermined period" and "specified period" include at least the period described below.

As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, during the specific period in which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retention portion 38, the opening / closing execution mode in the jackpot game is set after the jackpot game (opening) is started. A specific period is set for each jackpot game that starts in a predetermined period until the end (ending starts). That is, the beginning of the specific period is the time when the jackpot game is started, and the end of the specific period is the time when the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game is ended (the time when the ending is started). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9A, when a normal jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is a normal jackpot and a single jackpot), the jackpot game is started for a specific period. From to the end of the open / close execution mode of the jackpot game. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the probability variation jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is the probability variation jackpot and the jackpot consecutive villa is started), when the normal jackpot is won in the high probability mode. For all the jackpot games that are executed until the jackpot consecutive villa is finished by the normal jackpot game, the period from the start of each jackpot game to the end of the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game is specified. Set as a period. That is, in the jackpot villa, a plurality of specific periods are set according to the number of jackpot games executed during the jackpot villa.

In other words, regardless of the type of jackpot and the winning timing, the number corresponding to the number of game balls 99 that entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 during a specific period of one jackpot game, which will be described later, 7 The segments A to G of the segment display unit 39 are controlled to turn on and off during the ending of the jackpot game during the specified period. That is, in the specified period, the probability that the lottery result in the big hit lottery set in the game machine 10 will be a big hit based on the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in the specific period. A number indicating a game set value (a plurality of non-set values) other than the game set value (set value) that defines the above is set as a period for displaying on the 7-segment display unit 39.

If the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 during a specific period of one jackpot game is 7 or more and less than 14, the jackpot lottery set for the game machine 10 is performed. A number that specifies a game setting value (plural non-setting values) other than the game setting value (setting value) that defines the probability that the lottery result will be a big hit is set in the display order setting process of FIG. 36 described later. One is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending (specified period) after the lapse of a specific period in the jackpot game. Further, in the ending (specified period) after the lapse of a specific period in the jackpot game, the number of game balls 99 that entered the special out ball mouth 373 in the specific period of one jackpot game is 14 on the 7-segment display unit 39. When the number is 20 or more and less than 20, two numbers for specifying a plurality of non-setting values are displayed in the order corresponding to the display order, and when the number is 21 or more and less than 28, a plurality of non-setting values are specified. The three numbers to be displayed are displayed in the order according to the display order, and when the number is 28 or more and less than 35, the four numbers specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed in the order according to the display order. When the number is 35 or more, five numbers (all numbers) that specify a plurality of non-set values are displayed in an order according to the display order. If the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 during the specific period of one jackpot game is less than 7, the ending (specified period) after the lapse of the specific period in the jackpot game is 7 The segment display unit 39 does not display any number that specifies a plurality of non-set values.

As described above, in the game machine 10, each time the jackpot game is executed, the 7-segment display unit 39 described later is based on the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 during a specific period. One to five numbers that specify a plurality of non-set values can be displayed in, and the set values can be specified by displaying the numbers that specify the five non-set values. For example, it is possible to identify that the game setting value 1 is a non-set value by displaying the number 1 on the 7-segment display unit 39, and the game setting value by displaying the number 2 on the 7-segment display unit 39. It is possible to identify that 2 is a non-set value, and by displaying the number 3 on the 7-segment display unit 39, it is possible to identify that the game set value 3 is a non-set value, and the 7-segment display unit 39 shows the number. When 4 is displayed, it can be specified that the game set value 4 is a non-set value, and when the number 5 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, it is specified that the game set value 5 is a non-set value. It is possible to specify that the game set value 6 is a non-set value by displaying the number 6 on the 7-segment display unit 39. Further, since it can be specified that the non-set value is the game set value 2 to 6 by displaying the five numbers 2 to 6 on the 7-segment display unit 39, it is grasped that the set value is the game set value 1. it can. Similarly, it can be grasped that the set value is the game set value 2 by displaying the five numbers 1, 3 to 6 on the 7-segment display unit 39, and 1, 2, 4 to 6 on the 7-segment display unit 39. It can be grasped that the set value is the game set value 3 by displaying the five numbers of, and the set value is the game by displaying the five numbers 1, 3, 5, and 6 on the 7-segment display unit 39. It can be grasped that the set value is 4, and it can be grasped that the set value is the game set value 5 by displaying the five numbers 1 to 4 and 6 on the 7-segment display unit 39, and 1 on the 7-segment display unit 39. It can be grasped that the set value is the game set value 6 by displaying the five numbers of ~ 5.

Further, the numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be grasped before all the segments A to G are controlled. For example, when segments A to G are controlled in the order of segment A → segment B → segment C → segment D → segment E → segment F → segment G, the first control target, segment A, is turned off. The candidates for the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 are "1" and "4". Then, when the sixth control target segment F is turned on, it can be recognized as "4", and when the segment F is turned off, it can be recognized as "1". That is, the numbers "1" or "4" can be recognized at the stage when the sixth control target, the segment F, before all the segments A to G are the control targets, is the control target. Further, when the segment A, which is the first control target, is turned on, the numerical candidates displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 are "2", "3", "5", and "6". Then, when the second control target segment B is turned on, it can be determined that it is either "2" or "3", and when the segment B is turned off, "5" and "" It can be determined that it is one of 6 ”. Further, when the third control target segment C is turned on, it can be recognized as "3", and when the segment C is turned off, it can be recognized as "2". That is, the numbers "2" or "3" can be recognized at the stage when the third control target, the segment C, before all the segments A to G are the control targets, is the control target. Further, when the fifth control target segment E is turned on, it can be recognized as “6”, and when the segment E is turned off, it can be recognized as “5”. That is, the number "5" or "6" can be recognized at the stage when the fifth control target, the segment E, before all the segments A to G are the control targets, is the control target. That is, the numbers "2" and "3" can be recognized at the stage when the third control target segment C is turned on or off, and the numbers "5" and "6" are the fifth control target segments. The numbers "1" and "4" can be recognized when E is turned on or off, and the numbers "1" and "4" can be recognized when the sixth control target segment F is turned on or off. Then, in the present embodiment, even if the numbers indicating the non-set values are grasped before all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 are controlled, all the segments A to G are controlled. Unless it becomes a target, control for displaying the next priority number is not started. As a result, in order to specify all the non-set values, the control for displaying the number of the next priority is started at the stage where the number corresponding to the non-set value can be grasped. Many specific conditions need to be met. As a result, the difficulty level until all the non-set values are specified, and by extension, the difficulty level in which the set values are recognized can be increased, so that the set values are prevented from being recognized in a short game time. Therefore, even when the set value is low, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the set value in a short time, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in the game time on the game machine 10, and the game machine 10 can be prevented from being grasped. It is possible to suppress the decrease in the operating rate of.

When the numbers indicating the non-set values are grasped before all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 are controlled, the control for displaying the next priority number is started. It may be. For example, when the priority of the numbers is "1"-> "2"-> "3"-> ..., the segment F whose control order for the number "1" is the sixth is set as the control target. When it is determined that the number displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is "1", the number "1", which is the next priority, is not controlled without targeting the segment G having the 7th control order. 2 ”may be started to be displayed. By the way, when the segments A to G are controlled to display the next display target number after all the segments A to G are controlled targets, before all the segments A to G are controlled targets. Even if the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be recognized, the control of the segments A to G for displaying the numbers to be displayed next must be after all the segments A to G have been controlled. Does not start. Therefore, even if the player recognizes the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 before all the segments A to G are controlled, the display of the numbers to be displayed next is started. Up to, the information is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in order to identify the numbers already recognized by the player. That is, when the segments A to G are controlled to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G are controlled, the information unnecessary for the player is the 7-segment display unit 39. In the period when such unnecessary information is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, there is a concern that interest in the game may decrease. On the other hand, when the numbers indicating the non-set values are grasped before all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 are controlled, the control for displaying the next priority number is performed. If it is started, after one non-set value can be specified, the segments A to G that do not contribute to the estimation of the non-set value cannot be controlled. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game due to unnecessary control of segments A to G.

On the other hand, during the predetermined period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, the normal jackpot opening / closing execution mode is set after the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode is started. Until the end. That is, the beginning of the predetermined period is the time when the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode is started, and the end of the predetermined period is the time when the opening / closing execution mode of the normal jackpot game is ended (the ending of the normal jackpot game is started). At the time of being done). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9A, when a normal jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is a normal jackpot and a single jackpot), the jackpot game is started for a predetermined period. From to the end of the open / close execution mode of the jackpot game. That is, in the case of a single-shot jackpot, the predetermined period corresponds to a specific period in which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retention unit 38. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the probability variation jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is the probability variation jackpot and the jackpot consecutive villa is started), the jackpot consecutive villa is started for a predetermined period. It is the period from the start of the probabilistic jackpot game for the first hit that triggers to the end of the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the normal jackpot that triggers the end of the jackpot consecutive villa. That is, in the case of the jackpot consecutive villa, the predetermined period does not coincide with the specific period for retaining the game ball 99 in the game ball retention unit 38, and a plurality of predetermined periods are set according to the number of jackpot games started within the predetermined period.

By the way, when the jackpot game is started, the game is not ended in the middle of the jackpot game or the game is not ended in the middle of the jackpot consecutive villa unless there are special circumstances. Therefore, by setting a specific period for retaining the game ball 99 in the game ball retention unit 38 for each jackpot game, it is possible to prevent the player from ending the game before the end of the specific period. In addition, the predetermined period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 is from the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the normal jackpot. By setting up to, it is possible to prevent the player from ending the game before the end of the predetermined period. Then, in the jackpot game, in the ending (specified period) after the elapse of the specific period, the number of the game balls 99 staying in the game ball retention unit 38 in the specific period (the ball entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37). By controlling the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the number of game balls 99), information (all or part of the numbers corresponding to the non-set values) that can be specified or inferred from the non-set values is displayed, and is usually In the ending after the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the jackpot has elapsed, a non-set value can be specified or estimated according to the cumulative number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in a predetermined period. Information (all or part of the numbers corresponding to the non-set values) is displayed. As a result, even when a player who does not know the timing at which a non-set value other than the set value can be specified or can be guessed proceeds with the game, the game is terminated before the timing at which the non-set value can be specified or guessed. Is prevented. Therefore, even a player who cannot know the timing at which the non-set value can be specified or can be guessed can specify or guess the non-set value, and the set value can be specified by specifying all the non-set values. Will also be possible. In addition, the so-called hyena behavior of other players who play the game aiming at the timing when the non-set value can be specified or guessed can be excluded.

Further, by setting a specific period for each jackpot game that starts in a predetermined period, in the consecutive villa jackpot, the predetermined period is set from the first jackpot to the last jackpot game of the jackpot consecutive villa. Therefore, the predetermined period is longer in the consecutive villa jackpot than in the single-shot hit, and the predetermined period becomes longer as the number of times the jackpot game is executed increases. As a result, there is a high possibility that the number of game balls 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 will be larger in the consecutive villa jackpot than in the single-shot hit, and the more consecutive villas are in the consecutive villa jackpot. There is a high possibility that the number of game balls 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 will increase. As a result, the player can obtain not only the expected value of the game value that can be obtained increases as the number of consecutive villa jackpots increases, but also a large amount of information for identifying or guessing the non-set value, and thus the non-set value and thus the set value. You can get the benefit of making it easier to guess or identify the value.

The start of the specific period in which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retention unit 38 may be set during the jackpot game, and the opening / closing execution mode starts not only at the start of the jackpot game (the opening of the first hit ends). It may be at the time when it is done. Further, the end of the specific period may be set during the jackpot game, or may be set during the ending that usually shifts after the jackpot. Preferably, the specific period is set as one section including the opening / closing execution mode for one big hit game. As a result, based on the number of specific conditions that are established when the game ball 99 is entered into the variable winning opening 316 in the open / close execution mode (the game ball 99 that has passed through the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37). Information for identifying the non-set value can be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 after the elapse of the specific period (based on the number of). As a result, in the open / close execution mode, the game can be enjoyed by paying attention to whether or not the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373, and after the end of the open / close execution mode, that is, after a lapse of a specific period. Focusing on the content displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, the non-set value can be specified or estimated based on the displayed content to enjoy the game.

In addition, the start of a predetermined period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 is limited to the time when the big hit game for the first hit (big hit in the low probability mode) is started. Instead, you can set it to a jackpot game. Preferably, the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the first hit (big hit in the low probability mode), for example, the jackpot game for the first hit (big hit in the low probability mode) is started (the opening of the first hit ends). You may. In this way, by setting the start of the predetermined period to the jackpot game for the first hit, the predetermined period is always set for each first hit regardless of the single-shot jackpot or the consecutive villa jackpot. The opportunity to guess or identify the non-set value for the first hit is guaranteed at least once.

On the other hand, the end of the predetermined period may be set not only at the time when the open / close execution mode of the normal jackpot game ends but also during the jackpot game, for example, the ending of the jackpot game, typically the ending of the normal jackpot game. Can be considered. Further, the end of the predetermined period may be a time when the normal jackpot game ends (the ending at the jackpot ends) or a time when the time saving mode which is shifted after the normal jackpot ends. Further, in the present embodiment, the description is based on the premise of a loop probability changing machine, but in other types of gaming machines such as ST machines, V-ST machines, and type-two mixers, a predetermined period is set according to the mode. It is also possible to set it. For example, in the V-ST machine, when there is no V prize at the first hit (normal jackpot), the predetermined period is set in the same manner as in the case of the normal jackpot of the loop probability change machine, and when there is a V prize at the first hit (probability change jackpot). ), The start of the jackpot game of the first hit or the opening / closing execution mode is set as the start of the predetermined period, and the end time of the opening / closing execution mode in the jackpot without V prize, or the end time of the specified number of jackpot lottery in the high probability mode, etc. It is conceivable that it will be the end of a predetermined period.

It is also conceivable to set the predetermined period to the period during which the variable game is executed (the period from the end of the jackpot game to the start of the jackpot game) regardless of the jackpot game. For example, the predetermined period can be set according to the type of condition (specific condition) in which all or part of the specific information (number) indicating the non-set value is displayed, and the normal gaming state (high probability mode and high probability mode) can be set. The period of stay in the low frequency support mode (the period from the end of the time saving mode to the start of the next jackpot), the period of staying in the time saving mode (the period from the end of the normal jackpot to the transition to the normal gaming state) Period), the period of stay in the low probability mode (the period from the end of the normal jackpot to the start of the next jackpot game), until the predetermined number of jackpot lottery is received in one or both of the high probability mode and the low probability mode. During the period until receiving a predetermined number of ordinary winning lottery in one or both of the high-probability mode and the low-probability mode, a predetermined number of game balls 99 in the general winning opening 313 in one or both of the high-probability mode and the low-probability mode. Until a predetermined number of game balls 99 are won in the first winning opening 314 in one or both of the high-probability mode and the low-probability mode, one or both of the high-probability mode and the low-probability mode. The period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 are won in the second winning opening 315 in both sides, and the period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 pass through the through gate 317 in one or both of the high probability mode and the low probability mode. , The period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 are launched into the game board 31 in one or both of the high probability mode and the low probability mode. Further, the predetermined period may be set for each variable game. That is, it is conceivable to set the predetermined period to the period from the start of the variable game (the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol) to the end of the variable game (the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol). In this case, the entire period of one variable game may be set as a predetermined period, or a part of the period of one variable game may be set as a predetermined period. When a part of one variable game is set as a predetermined period, the predetermined period is from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the time when the decorative symbol reaches the reach state, and from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol. The period from the start of the development effect such as the special reach effect, the period from the reach state of the decorative pattern to the start of the development effect, and the period from the reach state of the decorative pattern to the end of the development effect. Period, period when development production is executed, etc. can be considered.

In this way, by setting a predetermined period in the period in which the variable game is executed, it is possible to specify or estimate the non-set value and recognize or infer the set value even in a period other than the period in which the jackpot game is executed. It will be possible. This makes it possible to enjoy the progress of the game while specifying or estimating the non-set value (set value) during the period in which the variable game is executed.

Then, when the predetermined period is set to the period during which the variable game is executed, the distribution means such as the crune device 37 normally launches the game ball 99 launched into the left region of the game board 31 to perform a left-handed game ball. Positions where 99 is distributed to the normal out ball mouth 378 and the special out ball mouth 373 (for example, the left side area (above or below the general winning opening 313) or the center area (above or side of the first winning opening 314) of the game board 31). ) Can be provided. In this case, the non-set value (set value) can be specified or estimated without performing a special launch (a right-handed launch of the game ball 99 in the right-hand area of the game board 31). As a result, the non-set value (set value) can be specified or estimated while proceeding as usual without lowering the probability of the game ball 99 entering the general winning opening 313 or the first winning opening 314. Can be done.

Further, it is conceivable that the start of the predetermined period is set when the main power supply for the game machine 10 is turned on, depending on the type of specific conditions. Further, the end of the predetermined period may be set when the main power supply for the game machine 10 is turned off, depending on the type of specific conditions.

As a specific condition, instead of the game ball 99 distributed by the distribution means such as the crune device 37 being inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 in a predetermined period, a specific area other than the special out ball mouth 373 is used. For example, the game ball 99 passes through the through gate 317 or the game ball 99 is inserted into various winning openings 313 to 316.

Further, a game in which a game ball 99 that enters a general winning opening 313 or a first winning opening 314 or passes through a through gate 317 is guided to a sorting means such as a crune device 37, and is sorted by the sorting means. A specific condition may be that the ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373. Also in this case, it is possible to enjoy the identification or guessing of the non-set value (set value) while proceeding with the game as usual without performing a special launch.

Further, the specific condition may be that a specific event that can occur in the progress of the game occurs. The specific event in this case may be either an advantageous event or an unfavorable event for the player. When a specific event is an event that is advantageous to the player, the player has all or part of the specific information indicating the non-set value (set value) in addition to the privilege obtained by the occurrence of the specific event. Can be further obtained. On the other hand, when a specific event is an event that is disadvantageous to the player, the player can use all or one of the specific information indicating the non-set value (set value) as a remedy for the disadvantage caused by the occurrence of the specific event. You can get more parts. Specific events include, for example, winning a jackpot a predetermined number of times (including one) or more (a jackpot game is executed a predetermined number of times (including one) or more), a probability change or a normal jackpot a predetermined number of times (one time). (Including) Winning (probability change or normal jackpot game is executed more than a predetermined number of times (including once)), and the number of jackpot consecutive villas reaches a predetermined number of times or more (probability change by the time the normal jackpot is won) Winning the jackpot more than a predetermined number of times in a row), the number of jackpot lottery until winning the jackpot reaches the predetermined number or more, and the winning of the game ball 99 exceeding the upper limit in the round game of the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game (Over winning) may occur.

Further, as a specific event, a specific effect preset in a variable game or a jackpot game may be executed. The specific effect in this case is not particularly limited, and may be set to, for example, any of the non-reach effect and the reach effect, and may be set to any of the opening effect, the round game effect, and the ending effect. Typically, a specific effect is a premier effect in which a jackpot or a probabilistic jackpot is determined in a variable game effect, and a hold consecutive villa is executed after the end of the jackpot game in the jackpot game (at the start of the jackpot game). At the start of the open / close execution mode, at the end of the open / close execution mode, or at the end of the big hit game, there is an effect that clearly indicates that the lottery result is a big hit in the hold at a specific time of the big hit game. .. Further, as a specific event, it is conceivable that the decorative symbols are stopped or temporarily stopped (intermediate stop display) in a specific combination on the symbol display unit 341. For example, when the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at "777" on the symbol display unit 341, when it is stopped and displayed at a specific reach deviation such as "767", it is stopped and displayed at a specific non-reach deviation such as "367". Temporary stop display (intermediate stop) that clearly indicates that the development effect will be executed when the development effect such as super reach effect or special reach effect is executed as the reach effect, in addition to the case where the stop display is displayed at (separate eyes). Display) is possible. As a temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) that clearly indicates that the development effect is executed, for example, as in "7 development 7", the left and right decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the reach state (intermediate stop display), and the middle stop display is displayed. It is conceivable that a symbol that clearly indicates that a development effect such as "development" will be executed is temporarily stopped and displayed. In addition, a specific condition may be that a plurality of specific events of a specific combination occur.

Further, the specific condition may be satisfied in relation to the set value. That is, the set value may be included in the specific condition, and for example, the specific condition may be satisfied when a specific event occurs in the specific set value. In this case, while the type of the specific condition depends on the set value, the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set value on the 7-segment display unit 39 is defined by the set value as described later. Therefore, the numbers indicating the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in a different order depending on the type of the specific condition. This makes it possible to set the display order for each set value based on, for example, whether the jackpot lottery probability is high or low, and it is also possible to characterize the display of numbers indicating multiple non-set values for each set value. become.

In addition, the specified period for displaying specific information indicating a non-set value or a part thereof (special information) when a specific condition is satisfied is not limited to the case where it is set for each ending of the jackpot game, and other It may be the timing, and it is conceivable to set it according to the relationship with a predetermined period, the relationship with a specific period, the relationship with a specific condition, and the like. For example, the specified period may be only the ending of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is typically set after the lapse of the predetermined period as described in the second embodiment described later. Other than that, for example, it may be after the end of the jackpot game. In addition, when the predetermined period is set to the execution period of the variable game, for example, when the decorative symbol starts to fluctuate in the variable game, the decorative symbol is in the reach state, the temporary stop display timing, the super reach effect, the special reach effect, etc. It is conceivable that the development production of the above is started, the development production is being executed, and so on. That is, it is conceivable to set the specified period to the period during which the variable game is executed. When the specified period is set to the period during which the variable game is executed, it becomes possible to display the specific information indicating the non-set value together with the result of the jackpot lottery. For example, when the lottery result in the big hit lottery is displayed by the variable display of the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 341, it is also possible to display the specific information on the symbol display unit 341 at the same time. This makes it possible to improve the player's interest in variable games by displaying specific information.

Here, FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view taken along the X2-X2 cutting line of FIG. 8, and FIG. 10B is taken along the X3-X3 cutting line of FIG. 8 when the stopper portion 383 described later is at the upper limit position. FIG. 10 (C) is a cross-sectional view taken along the X3-X3 cutting line of FIG. 8 when the stopper portion 383 is in the lower limit position. Hereinafter, the configuration of the game ball retention portion 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 8 in addition to FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 6, 8 and 10, the game ball retention unit 38 retains the game ball 99 in which the game ball is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 for a specific period, and the retention lane 381. , A discharge lane 382 and a stopper 383 are provided.

The retention lane 381 accepts the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, and allows the game ball 99 to stay. The upper part of the retention lane 381 is open and slopes downward to the left. The depth dimension of the retention lane 381 is smaller than the diameter of the game ball, and at least a part of the game ball 99 retained in the retention lane 381 is visible (see FIG. 4). As a result, it is possible to visually recognize that the game balls 99 have been accumulated in the retention lane 381, and the number of the retained game balls 99, that is, the balls have been entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 within a specific period. The number of game balls 99 can be visually recognized. Further, the retention lane 381 is preferably formed transparently with a resin or the like. By doing so, it becomes easy to grasp the number of game balls 99 stayed in the staying lane 381. Instead of or in addition to making the game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381 visible, the number of game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381 may be displayed. The number of game balls 99 accumulated in the retention lane 381 may be displayed by, for example, the number of lamps lit, the image display on the symbol display unit 341, or the like.

The discharge lane 382 is continuous with the left end portion of the retention lane 381, and guides the game ball 99 retained in the retention lane 381 to a predetermined portion, for example, a position that can be detected by the out-ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12).

Further, the discharge lane 382 is provided with a special out-ball sensor 384. The special out ball sensor 384 detects when the game ball 99 staying in the staying lane 381 moves in the discharge lane 382. That is, the special out ball sensor 384 counts the number of game balls 99 accumulated in the retention lane 381, that is, the number of special out balls that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 within a specific period. It will be used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the special out-ball sensor 384 is connected to the MPU 41 of the main control device 4, and the MPU 41 monitors the output from the special out-ball sensor 384 by the MPU 41. It is determined whether or not the game ball 99 has moved in the discharge lane 382. Further, the MPU 41 sets a special out-ball detection command when the game ball 99 is detected by the special out-ball sensor 384, and outputs this special out-ball detection command to the external output of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. 23, which will be described later. It is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the process. On the other hand, when the voice lamp control device 5 receives the special out ball detection command, the MPU 51 counts the number of special out balls and displays the number on the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the number of special out balls and the set value. The content is controlled (see the command determination process in FIG. 37 and the setting value suggestion process in FIG. 40).

As the special out-ball sensor 384, for example, an electromagnetic induction type proximity sensor is used, but the game ball 99 may be detected by another detection method (for example, an optical sensor). Further, the special out-ball sensor 384 may be connected to the voice lamp control device 5. In this case, the special out-ball detection command is not set in the MPU 41 of the main control device 4, but the voice lamp control device 5 counts the number of special out-balls based on the output from the special out-ball sensor 384.

The stopper portion 383 is provided between the retention lane 381 and the discharge lane 382, and is moved up and down between the upper limit position and the lower limit position by a driving means such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 31. .. The upper limit position is a position where the tip portion protrudes upward, and when the stopper portion 383 is in the upper limit position, the game ball 99 can be retained in the retention lane 381 (see FIG. 10B). On the other hand, the lower limit position is a position where the tip portion does not protrude upward, and the stopper portion 383 is in the lower limit position so that the game ball 99 of the retention lane 381 can be discharged via the discharge lane 382 (FIG. FIG. 10 (C)). Then, the game ball 99 guided to the discharge lane 382 is guided to a position that can be detected by the out ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12).

The means for allowing the game ball 99 to stay in the staying lane 381 and discharging the game ball 99 in the staying lane 381 to the discharge lane 382 is not limited to the stopper portion 383 that can move up and down, for example, a stopper that can move back and forth. It may be another means such as a portion, a stopper portion that can rotate between an upright state and a prone position, and the like. Further, the game ball 99 may be retained by preventing the game ball 99 from moving due to the action of the magnetic force or the electromagnetic force, and the game ball 99 may be discharged by canceling the action of the magnetic force or the electromagnetic force. .. Further, by making the retention lane 381 vertically movable, it is possible to realize a state in which the game ball 99 is retained and a state in which the game ball 99 is discharged. For example, the game ball 99 is retained by making the residence lane 381 stand by at a position lower than the discharge lane 382, while the game ball 99 is discharged by moving the retention lane 381 to a position higher than the discharge lane 382. It may be configured to shift to. In addition, the game board 31 is provided with an opening in which the game ball 99 can be discharged on the back side of the game board 31, a position where the game ball 99 can be stayed in the retention lane 381, and the game ball 99 can be ejected from the opening to the game board 31. The retention lane 381 may be configured to be movable up and down with and from a position where it can be discharged to the back side of the lane. Further, by moving the box-shaped movable body instead of the staying lane 381, the game ball 99 can be kept in the movable body and the game ball 99 can be discharged to the back side of the game board 31. It is also possible.

Here, FIG. 11A is a diagram showing an example of a 7-segment display unit 39 provided on the game board 31 shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 11B is a diagram showing an example of displaying numbers on the 7-segment display unit. FIG. 11C is a diagram showing an example of displaying alphabets on the 7-segment display unit.

As shown in FIG. 11A, the 7-segment display unit 39 includes seven segments A to G and a dot point DP. The segments A to G and the dot point DP can be individually turned on and off, and the numbers are at least 1 to 6 as shown in FIG. 11 (B) and at least A to 6 as shown in FIG. 11 (C). The alphabet of F can be displayed. In the present embodiment, the 7-segment display unit 39 has a plurality (six) game settings corresponding to the jackpot probabilities (see FIGS. 14 (A) and 14 (B)) in which the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot. From the value (numerical information), a plurality of (five) game set values (non-set values) other than the game set value (set value (predetermined numerical information)) set to specify the jackpot probability in the game machine 10 A number (specific information) indicating each of (specific numerical information)) is displayed as a number by turning on or off each of the segments A to G. Specifically, when the non-set value is the game set value 1, the 7-segment display unit 39 displays the number 1 by lighting the segments B and C, and the non-set value is the game set value. When the number is 2, the segments A, B, D, E and G are lit to display the number 2, and when the non-set value is the game set value 3, the segments A to D and G are lit. By doing so, the number 3 is displayed, and when the non-set value is the game setting value 4, the segments B, C, F and G are lit to display the number 4, and the non-set value is the game setting. When the value is 5, the segments A, C, D, F and G are lit to display the number 5, and when the non-set value is the game set value 6, the segments A, C to G are displayed. When it is lit, the number 6 is displayed. Further, in the present embodiment, the dot point DP is lit at the stage when the number corresponding to the non-set value is displayed, and it is clearly shown that the number corresponding to the non-set value is displayed.

Further, the numbers corresponding to the non-set values on the 7-segment display unit 39 are displayed in the order determined when the main power is turned on (when the power is turned on) or when the set value is changed, as will be described later (FIGS. 35 and 35). 36). Further, as will be described later, the control order of turning on or off each of the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 is set to segment A, segment B, segment C, segment D, segment E, segment F, and segment G ( It is fixed).

Is a control target for turning on and off, and a number or a part of the number is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. Here, the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 indicate non-set values other than the set values after the game set values. Therefore, a part of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 does not indicate the game set value, but indicates a part of the specific information indicating the non-set value, and corresponds to the one indicating the special information. .. In other words, the special information is displayed by using a part of the plurality of segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39. In this way, not only the number indicating the non-set value but also a part of the number (special information) is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, so that the player can display the number on the 7-segment display unit 39. In this case, not only the non-set value can be specified, but also the non-set value can be estimated based on a part of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. Therefore, even when the number is not displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, the non-set value can be estimated and enjoyed based on a part of the number, so that the interest of the game is improved.

It should be noted that whether or not each of the segments A to G is the control target on the 7-segment display unit 39 may or may not be clearly indicated to the player. When it is clearly stated that each of the segments A to G is the control target, it is easier to estimate the set value than when it is not clearly stated. Further, in the present embodiment, since the control order of each of the segments A to G is fixed, it is not clearly indicated that each of the segments A to G is the control target, and a method in which it is difficult to estimate the set value is adopted. Has been done. When clearly indicating to the player that each of the segments A to G is the control target, for example, by blinking the segment to be controlled, it is clearly shown to the player that the segment is the control target, and the control target is controlled. It is conceivable to clearly indicate to the player that the segment is the control target by lighting the segment in a color different from that in the case of lighting the segment.

Further, the 7-segment display unit 39 may display the information for specifying the non-set value in the alphabet corresponding to the non-set value. For example, when the non-set value is the game set value 1, the alphabet A is displayed, when the non-set value is the game set value 2, the alphabet B is displayed, and the non-set value is the game set value 3. In this case, the alphabet C is displayed, the alphabet D is displayed when the non-set value is the game setting value 4, and the alphabet E is displayed when the non-set value is the game setting value 5, and the non-set value is displayed. It is conceivable that the alphabet F is displayed when the game setting value is 6 (see FIG. 11 (C)).

In this case, the command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 of the lottery result in the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type is set as a command different from the variation pattern command.

The first hold command and the second hold command are the lottery result, the fluctuation pattern, and the fluctuation pattern in the jackpot lottery for the increased hold when the hold number N or the hold number M stored in the hold storage area 412b described later increases. This is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 of the number of holds N or the number of holds M. The first hold command and the second hold command are set based on the information stored in the hold storage area 412b described later when the hold number N or the hold number M increases (FIG. 22 described later). Step S1207 or step S1209 of the first hold command setting process.

The shift command indicates the lottery result in the jackpot lottery in the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area REA4 or the first hold area REB1 to the fourth hold area REB4 when the hold number N or the hold number M decreases. This is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the pass / fail information has been shifted. The shift command is set in step S1508 in the data setting process of FIG. 25, which will be described later.

The jackpot game start command is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the jackpot game starts, that is, the gaming state shifts to the jackpot game state, and when shifting to the jackpot game state, FIG. 23 described later. It is set in the game state transition process in the main process of. Further, since the jackpot game start command is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the jackpot game will start, the voice lamp control device 5 starts the jackpot game by receiving the jackpot game start command. Not only that, but also the opening will be started. However, an opening start command may be set separately from the jackpot start command so that the voice lamp control device 5 knows that the opening is started by the opening start command.

The round game start command is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 of the round number information indicating the start of each round game and the number of rounds of the round game in the open / close execution mode in the jackpot game. , Set in the jackpot game control process in the main process of FIG. 23, which will be described later. In the voice lamp control device 5, it can be grasped that the opening is ended and the open / close execution mode is started by the round game start command, but the opening end command is set at the end of the opening separately from the round game start command. Alternatively, the open / close execution mode start command may be set when the open / close execution mode starts. Further, apart from the round game start command, a command indicating the number of rounds of the round game to be started may be set at the start of the round game, and the command may be transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5.

The round game end command is a command that notifies the voice lamp control device 5 that the corresponding round game is finished in the open / close execution mode in the jackpot game, and is set in the jackpot game control process in the main process of FIG. 23, which will be described later. To.

Specifically, the execution cycle of the main timer interrupt process, which will be described later, executed by the MPU 41 is determined by the clock signal output from the frequency dividing circuit.

In the present embodiment, the clock signal is supplied from the frequency dividing circuit to the MPU 41 at a preset interval (for example, 4 msec), and the MPU 41 is assigned to the main timer, which will be described later, every time a rising edge (or falling edge) of the clock signal occurs. It is assumed that the built-in process is started and executed. The oscillation circuit and the frequency dividing circuit are also mounted on the sub control unit 332 and the peripheral control unit 140 as needed, and supply the operation clock of the control main body in the sub control unit 332 and the peripheral control unit 140. Further, a clock signal may be supplied from the main control unit 331 to the sub control unit 332 and the peripheral control unit 140.

The ROM 411 is a non-volatile storage unit in which control programs and parameter information are stored in advance. The RAM 412 is a volatile storage unit capable of reading and writing various information, and is used as a primary storage area (work area) for processing executed by the MPU 41. For example, the RAM 412 is used for setting a command to be transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 and the like. The RAM 412 may be a non-volatile storage unit.

Here, with reference to FIG. 13, a storage area for the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 of the game machine 10 to perform a big hit lottery or the like will be described. Specifically, the MPU 41 executes the jackpot lottery and the setting of the variable display time by using the counter information stored in the lottery counter 412a, the hold storage area 412b, and the electric service hold area 412c of the RAM 412.

The lottery counter 412a includes a jackpot random number counter C1 used for the jackpot winning lottery, a jackpot type counter C2 used for determining the jackpot type, and a reach random number counter C3 used for determining the loss type. included. Further, the lottery counter 412a includes a random number initial value counter CIN1 used for setting the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and a variation type counter CS1 for determining the variation display time in the main display unit 36 and the symbol display unit 341. Is done. Further, the lottery counter 412a is set to the normal hit random number counter C4 used for lottery as to whether or not the electric accessory 315b of the second winning opening 315 is in the electric service open state, and the initial value setting of the normal hit random number counter C4. The normal hit initial value counter CIN2 used for is included. Hereinafter, when these multiple types of counters are collectively described, they are simply abbreviated as counters.

Then, the counters C1 to C4, CIN1, CIN2, and CS1 are used as loop counters in which 1 is added to the previous value at short intervals by the MPU 41, and after reaching a preset maximum value, the counter returns to 0. The updated values are recorded in the counters C1 to C4, CIN1, CIN2, and CS1, and are referred to by the MPU 41 when the jackpot lottery and the variable display time are set.

The hold storage area 412b includes a first hold storage area REA, a second hold storage area REB, and an execution area AE. The first hold storage area REA includes a first hold area REA1, a second hold area REA2, a third hold area REA3, a fourth hold area REA4, and a hold number storage area NAA. Hereinafter, the type of the variable game in which the jackpot lottery is performed based on each value stored in the first reserved storage area REA and the first special symbol display unit 362 displays the variable and the stop is referred to as the first special symbol game. Sometimes. The second hold storage area REB includes a first hold area REB1, a second hold area REB2, a third hold area REB3, a fourth hold area REB4, and a hold number storage area NAB. Hereinafter, the type of the variable game in which the jackpot lottery is performed based on each value stored in the second reserved storage area REB and the second special symbol display unit 363 displays the variable display and the stop is referred to as the second special symbol game. Sometimes.

Then, when the game ball enters the first winning opening 314, the information corresponding to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the variable type counter CS1 stored in the RAM 412 is a jackpot. It is acquired as the winning / failing information used in the lottery, and is stored in one of the first holding area REA1 to the fourth holding area REA4 of the first holding storage area REA. When a game ball enters the second winning opening 315, the information corresponding to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the variable type counter CS1 stored in the RAM 412 is a jackpot. It is acquired as the winning / failing information used in the lottery, and is stored in one of the first holding area REB1 to the fourth holding area REB4 of the second holding storage area REB. The pass / fail information acquisition process is executed by the MPU 41 that functions as the determination means of the present invention by executing the process according to the control program. The lottery counters 412a (big hit random number counter C1, jackpot type counter C2, reach random number counter C3, variable type counter CS1, etc.) are individually corresponding to the first hold storage area REA and the second hold storage area REB. It may be provided in.

As described above, in the game machine 10, in addition to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3, the variable type counter CS1 is the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area of the first hold storage area REA. It is stored in one of the first hold area REB1 to the fourth hold area REB4 of the REA4 and the second hold storage area REB.

Therefore, 19 games are played based on the hit / fail information stored in the first hold area REB1 to the fourth hold area REB4 of the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area REA4 and the second hold storage area REB. In addition to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, it is possible to determine in advance the fluctuation pattern (variation display time) of the symbol variation display displayed on the symbol display unit 341.

Specifically, when a game ball enters the first winning opening 314, the winning / failing information is vacant in the priority order of the first holding area REA1, the second holding area REA2, the third holding area REA3, and the fourth holding area REA4. It is stored in the area where it is. In the hold number storage area NAA, the number of the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area REA4 in which the hit / fail information is stored is stored as the hold number N.

When a game ball enters the second winning opening 315, the winning / failing information is vacant in the order of priority of the first holding area REB1, the second holding area REB2, the third holding area REB3, and the fourth holding area REB4. Stored in the area. In the hold number storage area NAB, the number of the first hold area REB1 to the fourth hold area REB4 in which the hit / fail information is stored is stored as the hold number M.

That is, in the game machine 10, the first winning opening 314 is provided by a total of eight storage areas corresponding to the maximum number of holdings of the first holding area REA1 to the fourth holding area REA4 and the first holding area REB1 to the fourth holding area REB4. It is possible to retain up to four winning / failing information as a winning history for the second winning opening 315.

In addition, it is considered as another embodiment that the first winning opening 314 and the second winning opening 315 are provided with a holding area having a maximum number of holdings of eight, and even in this case, a maximum of eight can be held in total. It is possible to withhold the winning / failing information as the winning history. The storage process of the pass / fail information is executed by the MPU 41 by executing the process according to the control program.

The execution area AE is the first hold area REA1 of the first hold storage area REA or the first hold area REB1 of the second hold storage area REB when the symbol variation display on the main display unit 36 and the symbol display unit 341 is started. It is a storage area used for moving the pass / fail information stored in. Specifically, the pass / fail information of the first hold area REB1 of the second hold storage area REB is preferentially moved to the execution area AE, and the pass / fail information does not exist in the first hold area REB1 of the second hold storage area REB. When the hold number storage area NAB is 0, the pass / fail information of the first hold area REA1 of the first hold storage area REA is moved to the execution area AE.

The difference between the hold number M stored in the hold number storage area NAA of the first hold storage area REA and the hold number N stored in the hold number storage area NAB of the second hold storage area REB is 2 or more. In the case of, it is considered as another embodiment that the value of the holding area having the larger number is preferentially moved to the execution area AE. Further, it is also considered as another embodiment that the pass / fail information of the first hold area REA1 of the first hold storage area REA and the first hold area REB1 of the second hold storage area REB is alternately moved to the execution area AE.

Then, at the start of one variable game, the MPU 41 performs a big hit lottery or the like based on the numerical information stored as the hit / miss information in the execution area AE. At this time, when the first hold area REA1 of the first hold storage area REA is moved to the execution area AE, the pass / fail information stored in the second hold area REA2 shifts to the first hold area REA1 and the third The pass / fail information stored in the hold area REA3 shifts to the second hold area REA2, and the pass / fail information stored in the fourth hold area REA4 shifts to the third hold area REA3.

Similarly, when the first hold area REB1 of the second hold storage area REB is moved to the execution area AE, the pass / fail information stored in the second hold area REB2 shifts to the first hold area REB1 and is held third. The winning / failing information stored in the area REB3 shifts to the second holding area REB2, and the winning / failing information stored in the fourth holding area REB4 shifts to the third holding area REB3.

The jackpot random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 637, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CIN1 at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CIN1 is a loop counter that is updated within the same range (0 to 738) as the jackpot random number counter C1. The jackpot random number counter C1 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315.

Two types of random number values for winning the jackpot are set according to the winning / failing table stored in the winning / failing table storage area in the ROM 411, corresponding to the low probability mode and the high probability mode which is the probability variation game state.

The number of probability mode hit / fail tables is 941 (0 to 940). That is, at the game setting value 6, the jackpot probability in the low probability mode is about 1 / 277.7 (236/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high probability mode is about 1/69. 6 (941/65536).

If the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is other than the random number values for winning the jackpot, the lottery result in the jackpot lottery will be missed.

Here, in the low-probability mode win / fail table and the high-probability mode win / fail table, the random numbers that are the big hits in the big hit lottery between the same game setting values are common, but it is also considered that the random numbers that are the big hits are not common. Be done. In addition, the random numbers that win the jackpot may not be continuous values but may be partially or wholly discrete values.

Further, six low-probability mode hit / miss tables and six high-probability mode hit / miss tables are provided according to the game setting values of six stages, but at least one win / miss table for each mode is sufficient. That is, the game setting value is not limited to 6 stages. It is also conceivable to provide a plurality of low-probability mode hit / miss tables corresponding to a plurality of stages of game setting values, while providing one high-probability mode hit / miss table. That is, it is conceivable that a plurality of stages of game setting values are provided for the low probability mode, and a stepwise game setting value is not provided for the high probability mode, and the jackpot probability is made uniform. Of course, the jackpot probability in the low probability mode may be made uniform, and a plurality of stages of game setting values may be provided for the high probability mode.

The jackpot type counter C2 is incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 19, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The jackpot type counter C2 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315. In the game machine 10, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to each of the two types of jackpots, the probabilistic jackpot and the normal jackpot, is set by the sorting table stored in the sorting table storage area in the ROM 411.

Here, FIG. 14C is a diagram showing an example of a distribution table. In the example shown in FIG. 14C, when the type of the variable game is the first special symbol game triggered by the winning of the first winning opening 314, the number of random numbers that becomes the 5R probability variation jackpot is 10 of 0 to 9. The number of random numbers that are 16R probability variation jackpots is 5 from 10 to 14, and the number of random numbers that are 5R normal jackpots is 5 from 15 to 19. On the other hand, when the type of the variable game is the second special symbol game triggered by winning the second winning opening 315, the number of random numbers that become the 5R probability variation jackpot is 5 from 0 to 4, and the 16R probability variation jackpot. The number of fourth random numbers is 10 from 5 to 14, and the number of random numbers to be a 5R normal jackpot is 5 from 15 to 19. That is, the game machine 10 is a so-called loop probability change machine in which the probability of the probability change jackpot in the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game is the same. Further, in the game machine 10, the probability of the 16R probability variation jackpot in the second special symbol game is set higher than that in the first special symbol game. That is, in the probabilistic gaming state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode in which the opening probability of the electric accessory 315b is high), the time saving gaming state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode) and the normal gaming state (low probability mode and electric combination). Compared to the low-frequency support mode in which the opening probability of the object 315b is low), the expected value of the game ball when the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit is set higher.

In this embodiment, individual swings are made for each of the first winning opening 314, which triggers the execution of the first special symbol game by winning, and the second winning opening 315, which triggers the execution of the second special symbol game by winning. A minute table is set, and the distribution probability of the jackpot type differs depending on which of the first winning opening 314 and the second winning opening 315 the game ball wins, but the first special symbol game and the second special symbol It is also possible that the distribution probability of the jackpot type is the same as that of the game. Further, the game machine 10 is not limited to the loop probabilistic machine, but may be configured as a so-called ST machine, a V-ST machine, a type-two type mixer, or the like.

Then, in the MPU 41, the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are "5R probability variation jackpot", "16R probability variation jackpot", and "5R normal" based on the values of the jackpot random number counter C1 and the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE. Determine whether it is a "big hit" or a "missing".

Here, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 5R probability variable jackpot or a 5R normal jackpot, an open / close execution mode is executed in which the round game in which the variable winning opening 316 is opened is repeated five times in the jackpot game. Further, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 16R probability variation jackpot, the open / close execution mode in which the round game is repeated 16 times in the jackpot game is executed.

In the case of a 5R probability variation jackpot or a 16R probability variation jackpot, after the jackpot game is completed, the player shifts to a probability variation game state in which the probability of winning the jackpot is high and the probability of opening the electric accessory 315b is high. Then, in the present embodiment, the probability variation game state continues until the MPU 41 determines that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is "5R probability variation jackpot", "16R probability variation jackpot", or "5R normal jackpot".

On the other hand, in the case of a 5R normal jackpot, after the jackpot game is completed, the player shifts to a time-saving game state in which the jackpot winning probability is low and the electric accessory 315b is open in a high frequency support mode. Then, in the present embodiment, the time-saving game state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode) notifies the player of the lottery result in the jackpot lottery of a predetermined number of preset times such as 50 times and 100 times. It ends when the player decides that the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit before the lapse of the specified number of times.

By the way, when the game machine 10 is configured as an ST machine or a V-ST machine instead of a loop probability change machine, a preset predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times, 100 times) of big hits is made after the end of the big hit game at the time of the probability change big hit. If the lottery is executed in the probabilistic game state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode) and the lottery result in the big hit lottery does not become a big hit by the lapse of the specified number of times, the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode) Mode) and the high frequency support mode ends. Further, in the variable game, it is also conceivable to perform a fall lottery from the probabilistic game state to the time-saving game state or the normal game state as another embodiment. If the lottery result in the big hit lottery is out of order, the game state is not changed to the big hit game state or the time saving game state. In the present embodiment, a case where the game machine 10 has three types of jackpots, 5R probability variation jackpot, 16R probability variation jackpot, and 5R normal jackpot, will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, 2 round probability variation jackpot, 2 It is also conceivable to have other jackpot types such as round regular jackpot and 16R regular jackpot.

Further, the reach random number counter C3 is incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 238, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315.

In the game machine 10, the reach random number counter C3 selects the type of stop result of the variable display displayed on the symbol display unit 341 when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out of order. Specifically, due to the out-of-type table stored in the out-of-type table storage area in ROM 411, the last stop symbol is shifted by one before and after the reach symbol after the reach occurs, and the front-back off reach and the reach are also generated. The value of the reach random number counter C3 corresponding to each of the three types of outliers, that is, the reach other than the front-back deviation in which the final stop symbol stops at a position other than before and after the reach symbol, and the complete deviation in which reach does not occur, is set.

Here, FIG. 14 (D) is a diagram showing an example of an outlier type table. In the example shown in FIG. 14 (D), the value of the random number that is out of front and back is 0 to 8, the value of the random number that is reach other than front and back is 9 to 38, and the value of the random number that is completely out of line is 39. ~ 238. The MPU 41 determines that reach is generated regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3 in the variable game in which the 5R probability variable jackpot, the 16R probability variable jackpot, or the 5R normal jackpot is won, that is, the variable game that shifts to the open / close execution mode.

Here, the reach indicates a state in which a symbol combination of decorative symbols indicating that a jackpot has been won is likely to occur between the start of the variable display of the symbol on the symbol display unit 341 and the stop display of the symbol. It is a fluctuating state. In one example, the same symbol is stopped and displayed at two of the three stop positions on the effective line on the symbol display unit 341, and the display symbol corresponding to the remaining one stop position fluctuates. Further, while the reach of the symbol display unit 341 is in a fluctuating state, a story effect process in which a moving image of a predetermined character or the like is displayed to suggest the degree of expectation, or an operation by the player on the operation button 20 is reflected in the effect. Person participation type operation effect processing and the like are executed. It is conceivable that the variable display on the symbol display unit 341 may be hidden, reduced or enlarged, and displayed during the execution of these effect processing.

The electric accessory opening counter C4 is, for example, incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 250, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The electric accessory opening counter C4 is periodically updated, and is stored in the electric service holding area 412c in the RAM 412 at the timing when the game ball wins the through gate 317. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to open the electric accessory 315b for a predetermined time according to the value of the electric accessory opening counter C4 stored in the electric service holding area 412c. For example, it is considered that the winning is won when the electric accessory opening counter C4 is 0 to 199, and the loss is considered when the electric accessory opening counter C4 is 200 to 250.

The variation type counter CS1 is incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 199, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Specifically, the variation type counter CS1 determines the variation pattern type (variation display time) of the symbol variation display displayed on the symbol display unit 341 according to the lottery result in the jackpot lottery. By determining the variation pattern type in this way, the voice lamp control device 5 has a rough variation game effect such as a high-speed variation effect (basic effect, non-reach effect), a normal reach effect, a super reach effect, and a special reach effect. The type is determined according to the fluctuation pattern type (variation display time). The variation type counter CS1 is updated once each time the main process described later is executed by the MPU 41, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the main process. Further, the value of the variable type counter CS1 is stored in the hold storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315.

Then, the MPU 41 determines a fluctuation pattern indicating the fluctuation display time based on the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the preset fluctuation table. Specifically, the MPU 41 specifies the type of fluctuation pattern with reference to the normal jackpot fluctuation table, the probability variation jackpot fluctuation table, or the deviation fluctuation table stored in advance in the fluctuation table storage area of ROM 411. Note that these fluctuation tables may be provided individually for each of the low-probability mode and the high-probability mode. Further, the probability variation jackpot variation table may be provided individually for each of the 5R probability variation jackpot and the 16R probability variation jackpot.

Here, FIGS. 15 (A), 15 (B), and 15 (C) are diagrams showing an example of a normal jackpot fluctuation table, a probabilistic jackpot fluctuation table, and a deviation fluctuation table. As shown in FIGS. 15 (A), 15 (B) and 15 (C), in the normal jackpot fluctuation table, the probability variation jackpot fluctuation table and the deviation fluctuation table, the fluctuation pattern is preliminarily set according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1. It is associated. Then, the MPU 41 is a normal jackpot fluctuation table when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is "5R normal jackpot", a probability variation jackpot fluctuation table when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot" or "16R probability variation jackpot", and a lottery. If the result is "off", refer to the out-of-variation table and specify the type of fluctuation pattern.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, in the normal jackpot fluctuation table and the probability variation jackpot fluctuation table, the fluctuation patterns “01” to “03” are set according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1. Is selected. When the variation pattern "01" is selected here, the voice lamp control device 5 determines a normal reach effect pattern in which the variation display time is 30 s as the variation type (effect pattern type), and the symbol display unit 341 determines the normal reach effect pattern. Is executed. The normal reach effect pattern is an effect pattern in which the final individual effect type in the variable game effect is the normal reach effect. When the variation pattern "02" is selected, the voice lamp control device 5 determines a super reach effect pattern in which the variation display time is 60 s as the variation type (effect pattern type), and the symbol display unit 341 determines the super reach effect. The pattern is executed. The super reach effect pattern is an effect pattern in which the final individual effect type in the variable game effect is the super reach effect. Further, when the variation pattern "03" is selected, the voice lamp control device 5 determines the special reach effect pattern having the longest variation display time of 90s as the variation type (effect pattern), and the symbol display unit 341 determines the special reach effect pattern. The production pattern is executed. The special reach effect pattern is an effect pattern in which the final individual effect type in the variable game effect is the special reach effect.

As shown in FIG. 15C, in the deviation variation table, the variation type counter CS1 is used for each stop type (reach before and after deviation, reach other than front and rear deviation, complete deviation) determined by the value of the reach random number counter C3. The correspondence between and the fluctuation pattern is defined. More specifically, when the stop type at the time of disconnection is front / rear deviation reach or non-front / rear deviation reach, one of the fluctuation patterns "01" to "03" is selected according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1. .. On the other hand, when the stop type at the time of disengagement is completely deviated, either the fluctuation pattern "04" or "05" is selected according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1. When the variation pattern "04" is selected, the voice lamp control device 5 determines a non-reach effect pattern (non-reach effect pattern) in which the variation display time is 7 s as the variation type (effect pattern type), and displays the symbol. A non-reach effect pattern is executed in unit 341. When the variation pattern "05" is selected, the voice lamp control device 5 determines a non-reach effect pattern (non-reach effect pattern) in which the variation display time is 10 s as the variation type (effect pattern type), and displays the symbol. A non-reach effect pattern is executed in unit 341.

For example, in the game machine 10, as the variation display at the time of deviation corresponding to the variation pattern "04", the variation display of the deviation pattern is stopped at the deviation pattern without accompanying the advance notice effect such as displaying a character, a message, or the like. Is executed. Further, in the game machine 10, as the variation display at the time of deviation corresponding to the variation pattern "05", the variation display of the deviation pattern that stops at the deviation pattern is displayed with a notice effect of displaying a character, a message, or the like. Will be executed. Further, in the case of the variation display at the time of deviation corresponding to the variation pattern "05", a player participation type operation effect reflecting the operation of the operation button 20 by the player may be executed as a notice effect.

The type of fluctuation pattern is not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 15 (A), 15 (B) and 15 (C). Further, the probability variation jackpot variation table may be provided individually for each of the 5R probability variation jackpot and the 16R probability variation jackpot.

For example, in the game machine 10, a plurality of types of normal reach effects having different characters, stories, etc. are prepared as normal reach effects executed in the normal reach effect pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern "01", and any of them is selected. The normal reach production is executed.

Similarly, in the game machine 10, a plurality of types of super reach effects having different characters, stories, etc. are prepared as super reach effects executed in the super reach effect pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern "02", and a selection is made from among them. One of the super reach effects that have been made is performed. The super reach production is a reach production with a longer fluctuation time than the normal reach production, and the probability (expectation) that the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit is higher than the normal reach production, and the big hit is won more than the special reach production. It is executed when suggesting to the player that the probability (expectation) is low.

Further, in the game machine 10, as a special reach effect executed in the special reach effect pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern "03", a plurality of types of special reach effects having different characters, stories, etc. are prepared, and a selection is made from among them. One of the special reach productions that have been made is performed. The special reach effect is a reach effect having a longer variation time than the normal reach effect, and is an effect developed from, for example, a normal reach effect or a super reach effect. The special reach effect is executed when it is suggested to the player that the probability (expectation degree) of winning a big hit is higher than that of the normal reach effect or the special reach effect.

The effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern includes an operation effect in which the operation status of the operation button 20 by the player is reflected in the effect, for example, a one-shot operation effect in which the one-shot operation is reflected in the effect, and an operation button 20 by the player. A player participation type operation effect such as a continuous hit operation effect in which the continuous hit operation is reflected in the effect and a long press operation effect in which the long press operation of the operation button 20 by the player is reflected in the effect may be included.

Then, when the MPU 41 specifies a fluctuation pattern indicating the fluctuation display time by the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363 and the symbol display unit 341 of the main display unit 36, the fluctuation pattern and the jackpot lottery A variation pattern command indicating the lottery result is input to the voice lamp control device 5. Specifically, when the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", the MPU41 has a fluctuation pattern command "A" in front of the fluctuation patterns "01" to "03" to indicate that it is a 5R normal jackpot. Output any one of "A01" to "A03". Further, the MPU 41 is a variation pattern command "B01" in which, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", "B" indicating that it is a 5R probability variation jackpot is added before the fluctuation patterns "01" to "03". ~ Outputs any of "B03". Further, the MPU 41 is a variation pattern command "C01" in which, when the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot", "C" indicating that it is a 16R probability variation jackpot is added before the variation patterns "01" to "03". ~ Outputs any of "C03". Further, in the MPU 41, when the lottery result is "off", the fluctuation pattern commands "D01" to "D05" in which "D" indicating that the lottery is out are added before the fluctuation patterns "01" to "05". Output any of. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 can determine the fluctuation pattern (variation display time) and the lottery result based on the fluctuation pattern command, and the symbol display unit 341 is based on the fluctuation pattern and the lottery result. Determine the details of the variation mode such as the variation type and the effect type displayed in. Then, the voice lamp control device 5 causes the symbol display unit 341 to execute the fluctuation display based on the details of the determined fluctuation mode, reproduces the voice from the speaker 26 in accordance with the fluctuation display, and lights and blinks the illumination unit 27. Or turn it off.

As described above, in the game machine 10, the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 performs a simple process of determining the fluctuation pattern (variation display time) based on the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the fluctuation table for the fluctuation display in the symbol display unit 341. Will be executed. Therefore, even when the MPU 41 of the game machine 10 is composed of an 8-bit microcomputer, the jackpot lottery can be stably executed by the MPU 41. Further, since the details of the variation mode actually displayed on the symbol display unit 341 are determined by the voice lamp control device 5, it is possible to selectively execute a wide variety of variation modes as the variation mode.

Here, FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing an example of the game information storage area 412d set in the RAM 412 in the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 of the game machine shown in FIG. The game information storage area 412d stores game information related to game history, ball ejection performance, and the like. In the present embodiment, in the game information storage area 412d, as game information, "number of out balls", "number of general winning lots paid out", "number of first winning lots paid out", "number of second winning lots paid out" , "Variable winning slot payout number", "Set value", "Base information", "Continuous character ratio information", "Character ratio information", "Cumulative jackpot lottery count", "Unit jackpot lottery count", The "number of jackpots" and the "number of consecutive misses" are stored. Of these game information, "set value", "base information", "continuous bonus ratio information", "feature ratio information", and "number of unit jackpot lottery" are game information (performance information) related to ball ejection performance. Corresponds to.

The “number of out balls” is an integrated value of the number of game balls fired on the game board 31 in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). This "number of out balls" is stored as a value obtained by counting the out balls detected by the out ball sensor 318a in the sensor detection process of step S1001 in the main timer interrupt process of FIG. 20, which will be described later.

The "general winning opening payout number" is an integrated value of game balls paid out for winning a prize in the general winning opening 313 in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). This "number of balls to be paid out from the general winning opening" is set to the winning ball command setting in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. When setting the prize ball command for causing the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the prize in the general prize opening 313 in the process, the value is updated to the value obtained by adding the number of balls paid out by this prize. ..

The "number of balls paid out in the first winning opening" is an integrated value of the game balls paid out for winning a prize in the first winning opening 314 in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). This "number of balls to be paid out from the first winning opening" is the winning ball in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. 23, which will be described later, when the winning sensor 314a detects the winning of the first winning opening 314 in the normal gaming state. A value obtained by adding the number of balls to be paid out from this prize when setting a prize ball command for the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the prize to the first prize opening 314 in the command setting process. Update to.

The "number of balls paid out from the second winning opening" is an integrated value of the game balls paid out for winning the second winning opening 315 in the time-saving game state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode). This "number of balls to be paid out from the second winning opening" is the winning ball in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. 23, which will be described later, when the winning sensor 315a detects the winning of the second winning opening 315 in the time-saving game state. A value obtained by adding the number of balls to be paid out from this prize when setting a prize ball command for the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the prize to the second prize opening 315 in the command setting process. Update to.

The "variable winning slot payout number" is an integrated value of the game balls paid out for winning the variable winning slot 316 in the jackpot game state. This "variable winning opening payout number" is set as the winning ball command setting in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. 23, which will be described later, when the winning ball sensor 316a detects the winning of the variable winning opening 316 in the jackpot game state. When setting a prize ball command for the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the winning of the variable winning opening 316 in the process, the value is updated to the value obtained by adding the number of balls paid out by this winning. ..

The "set value" is for selecting a low-probability mode winning / failing table (see FIG. 14 (A)) and a high-probability mode winning / failing table (see FIG. 14 (B)) used in the jackpot lottery (win / fail determination). In other words, the "set value" defines the jackpot probability in the low probability mode and the high probability mode. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, set values in six stages (six types of low-probability mode hit / miss tables with different jackpot probabilities (see FIG. 14 (A)) and high-probability mode hit / miss tables (see FIG. 14 (B))). Is being prepared. The "set value" is updated in the set value change process of FIG. 27, which will be described later.

The "base information" is information about the "base" which is the refund rate (ball output rate) in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode), and this "base" is the "number of out balls" in the normal game state. Is the ratio of the total number of balls to be paid out to "the number of balls to be paid out from the general winning lot" and "the number of balls to be paid out from the first winning lot". When the "base" is expressed by a mathematical formula, "base" = 100 x ("general winning slot payout number" + "first winning slot payout number") / "out ball number". "Base information" includes information on the current base BL, the previous 60,000 ball base B1 and the previous 60,000 ball base B2. Here, the previous 60,000 ball base B1 and the previous 60,000 ball base B2 are updated every time the number of out balls reaches 60,000 in the specific performance information update process of FIG. 28, which will be described later (steps S1805 and S1806). Specifically, the "base" when the latest number of out balls reaches 60,000 is the previous 60,000 base B1, and the "base" when the previous number of out balls reaches 60,000 is It is saved as "base information" in the game information storage area of the RAM 412 as the 60,000-ball base B2 two times before. Further, until the counter value of the number of out balls reaches 60,000 balls, the current base BL is calculated as the current base BL (step S1804), and the current base BL is stored as "base information" in the game information storage area of the RAM 412. In addition, when the counter value of the number of out balls is calculated as the current base BL until the counter value reaches 60,000 balls, the "base information" includes the "general winning opening number of payout balls" and the "first winning opening". In addition to the "number of balls to be paid out" and the "number of balls to be paid out", the "number of balls to be paid out from the general winning slot", the "number of balls to be paid out from the first winning slot" and the "number of balls to be paid out" for base calculation are stored.

In this embodiment, the "base information" includes the "current base BL", the "previous 60,000 ball base B1", and the "previous 60,000 ball base B2", and the history of the past two 60,000 ball bases. However, the 60,000-ball base for the past three times or more may be left as a history. Further, as the "base information", the cumulative base from the time when the game machine 10 is installed in the game hall to the present may be included.

"Continuous character ratio information" is the total number of balls to be paid out by winning all the winning openings (general winning opening 313, first winning opening 314, second winning opening 315 and variable winning opening 316) for which prize balls are paid out. This is information on the "continuous bonus ratio", which is the ratio of the number of balls paid out from the variable winning lots. When the "continuous bonus ratio" is expressed by a mathematical formula, "continuous bonus ratio" = 100 x "variable winning lot payout number" / "total payout number". The "continuous accessory ratio information" is updated, for example, in the specific performance information update process of FIG. 28, which will be described later. In the present embodiment, the "continuous accessory ratio information" is stored as the cumulative continuous accessory ratio from the time when the game machine 10 is installed in the game hall to the present. The "continuous bonus ratio information" is for a certain period (for example, a certain number of big hits (for example, 100 times), and a period until a certain number of big hit lottery (for example, 1000 times) is executed in a normal game state. , The ratio of continuous bonuses to a certain number (for example, a period until the number of out balls reaches a certain number (for example, 60,000 balls)) may be used. Of course, the "continuous bonus ratio information" may include both the cumulative continuous bonus ratio and the continuous bonus ratio over a certain number of periods.

"Character ratio information" is the total number of balls to be paid out by winning all the winning openings (general winning opening 313, first winning opening 314, second winning opening 315 and variable winning opening 316) for which prize balls are paid out. This is information on the "feature ratio", which is the ratio of the total number of balls paid out to the number of balls paid out from the second prize opening and the number of balls paid out from the variable winning lot. When the "feature ratio" is expressed by a mathematical formula, "feature ratio" = 100 x ("second winning slot payout number" + "variable winning slot payout number") / "total payout number". The “accessory ratio information” is updated, for example, in the specific performance information update process of FIG. 28, which will be described later. In the present embodiment, the "character ratio information" is stored as the cumulative character ratio from the time the game machine 10 is installed in the game hall to the present. The "feature ratio information" is for a certain period (for example, a certain number of big hits (for example, 100 times), and a period until a certain number of big hit lottery (for example, 1000 times) is executed in a normal game state. It may be a bonus ratio to a certain number of out balls (for example, a period until the number of out balls reaches a certain number (for example, 60,000 balls)). Of course, the "continuous bonus ratio information" may include both the cumulative bonus ratio and the bonus ratio over a certain number of periods.

The "cumulative jackpot lottery count" is based on the jackpot lottery in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode) from the start of the game machine 10 before the opening of the game hall to the present. The number of times. In other words, the "cumulative jackpot lottery count" is a cumulative variation display in which the symbol variation display of the first special symbol display unit 362 of the main display unit 36 is executed with the winning of the first winning opening 314 in the normal gaming state as a trigger. It is also the number of times. The “cumulative jackpot lottery number” is added by 1 each time the symbol variation display of the main display unit 36 is started in step S1606 in the variation start process of FIG. 26, which will be described later. Further, the "cumulative jackpot lottery number" is cleared from the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 by turning off the main power of the game machine 10.

The "number of unit jackpot lottery" is the number of times a jackpot lottery is received (main) when a certain number of negative difference balls are won in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). The number of times the symbol variation display of the first special symbol display unit of the display unit 36 is executed). In the present embodiment, the fixed number is "250 balls", and the difference ball is the number of balls obtained by subtracting the "general winning opening payout number" and the "first winning opening payout number" from the "out ball number". In other words, the "unit jackpot lottery count" is the variable display count of the first special symbol of the first special symbol display unit 362 with an average of 1000 yen (big hit lottery) when 250 balls are rented for 1000 yen at the game hall. The number of times it was received). The "unit jackpot lottery number" may be the number of times a jackpot lottery is received per a certain number of "out balls" in the normal gaming state. The "unit jackpot lottery count" is updated in the specific performance information update process of FIG. 28, which will be described later. In the present embodiment, the "number of unit jackpot lottery" is stored as the cumulative number of unit jackpot lottery from the time the game machine 10 is installed in the game hall to the present. The "unit jackpot lottery number" is for a certain period (for example, for a certain number of jackpots (for example, 100 times), or until a certain number of jackpot lottery (for example, 1000 times) is executed in a normal gaming state. It may be for the period until the number of out balls reaches a certain number (for example, 60,000 balls). Of course, as the "number of unit jackpot lottery", both the cumulative number of unit jackpot lottery and the number of unit jackpot lottery in a certain number of periods may be stored as game information.

The "number of jackpots" is the number of times that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery conducted from the start of the game machine 10 before the opening of the game hall to the present is the number of jackpots.

The performance display switch 44 may be provided in addition to the main control device 4.

Here, FIG. 18A is a display example on the performance display monitor 43. As shown in FIG. 18A, when the performance display switch 44 is off, the 7-segment displays 431 to 434 are in the off state, so that the base information is not displayed. As shown in FIGS. 18 (B) to 18 (D), when the performance display switch 44 is turned on, as "base information", the current base BL → the previous 60,000 unless the performance display switch 44 is turned off. The ball base B1 → 60,000 ball base B2 before the previous time → the current base BL are looped in this order, and each base is repeatedly displayed at regular intervals. In the example shown in FIG. 18 (B), the current base BL is 28%, and in the example shown in FIG. 18 (C), the previous 60,000 ball base B1 is 34%. In the example shown in, it is shown that the 60,000 ball base B2 is 32% two times before. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the performance display switch 44 is turned off, the 7-segment displays 431 to 434 are turned off and the base information on the performance display monitor 43 is hidden.

A program required to display "base information" on the performance display monitor 43, for example, a program that calculates the current base BL, the previous 60,000 ball base B1 and the previous 60,000 ball base B2, and the current base on the performance display monitor 43. A program for displaying BL, the previous 60,000 ball base B1 and the previous 60,000 ball base B2 in order at regular time intervals is stored in a ROM 47 provided separately from the ROM 412 of the MPU 41 in the main controller 4. As a result, the load on the ROM 411 of the MPU 41 can be reduced. However, if the ROM 411 of the MPU 41 has a sufficient capacity, the ROM 411 may store a program necessary for displaying "base information" on the performance display monitor 43. Further, a program necessary for displaying "base information" on the performance display monitor 43 may be stored in a storage means such as a ROM provided separately from the main control device 4.

Further, in the performance display monitor 43, instead of the "base information" or in addition to the "base information", it is stored in the game information storage area 412d such as "continuous character ratio information" and "character ratio information". Other performance information may be displayed.

Further, the performance display monitor 43 is not limited to the 7-segment display, and may be configured by other types of displays such as a dot matrix display, a liquid crystal display, and an organic EL display.

Returning to the description of FIG. 17, the set value display unit 45 selects the low-probability mode hit / miss table (see FIG. 14 (A)) and the high-probability mode hit / miss table (see FIG. 14 (B)) to be referred to in the jackpot lottery. It displays the above-mentioned set value of the above, and is composed of a 7-segment display. The set value display unit 45 is not limited to the 7-segment display, but may be configured by other types of displays such as a dot matrix display, a liquid crystal display, and an organic EL display, and the performance display monitor 43 is used. The set value may be displayed.

The set value changing operation unit 46 switches the power of the 7-segment display on and off by pressing, and makes it possible to change the set value by rotating the 7-segment display when the power is on. The set value changing operation unit 46 has, for example, a function as a contact type switch that is turned on and off by a pressing operation, and a function as a rotary switch that switches contacts by a rotation operation (rotation of a predetermined angle). Here, FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example on the set value display unit 45 of the main control device.

As shown in FIG. 19A, when the set value display unit 45 is in the off state and a pressing operation is performed on the set value change operation unit 46, the 7-segment display is energized and the set value display unit is energized. A number is displayed at 45. The numbers displayed at this time are the set values stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412, and indicate the current set values. In the illustrated example, the set value is "1". On the other hand, when the set value change operation unit 46 is pressed while the set value display unit 45 is lit, the 7-segment display is cut off and the set value display unit 45 is turned off. Become.

As shown in FIG. 19B, when the set value display unit 45 is in the lit state and a rotation operation is performed on the set value change operation unit 46, the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 is changed. ..

As a result, in the game machine 10, even when the power supply from the power supply equipment is cut off, the information of the RAM provided in the control device is held for a predetermined period by the power discharged from the capacitor. Further, in the game machine 10, even when the power supply from the power supply equipment is cut off, the control device can be driven for a predetermined period by the power discharged from the secondary battery.

Further, when it is determined that the power supply is cut off, the power supply control device 9 inputs a power failure signal to the main control device 4, the voice lamp control device 5, the payout control device 7, and the like. For example, when the power supply control device 9 outputs a preset DC voltage of 24V based on the power supplied from the power supply equipment, the power supply control device 9 is in a power failure state when the DC voltage reaches less than the preset 22V. Judge. When the main control device 4, the voice lamp control device 5, the payout control device 7, and the like receive the power failure signal from the power control device 9, the main control device 4, the voice lamp control device 5, the payout control device 7, and the like interrupt the ongoing control and execute a predetermined NMI interrupt process.

<Step S1202>
In step S1202, the MPU 41 determines whether or not it is in the high probability mode, and if it is in the high probability mode (step S1202: Yes), the process shifts to step S1203, and if it is not in the high probability mode (step S1202). : No), the process proceeds to step S1204. For example, the MPU 41 is set to turn on whether or not it is in the high probability mode at the time of transition to the high probability mode in the game state transition process (step S1306 in FIG. 23) in the main process described later, and the jackpot game from the high probability mode. Judgment is based on the high probability mode flag that is set to off when transitioning to another gaming state such as a state.

<Steps S1203 and S1204>
In step S1203, the MPU 41 reads a high-probability mode pass / fail table (see FIG. 14B) saved according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. Based on the above, it is executed whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 read in step S1201 is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning. On the other hand, in step S1204, the MPU 41 reads out the low-probability mode hit / fail table (see FIG. 14 (A)) saved according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. 27, which will be described later, and the low-probability mode. Based on the winning / failing table, the winning / failing determination of whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 read in step S1201 is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning is executed.

Here, when the MPU 41 determines that the counter value read from the jackpot random number counter C1 is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning (step S1205: Yes), the process shifts to step S1206, and the jackpot random number counter C1 If it is determined that the counter value read from is not the value corresponding to the jackpot winning (step S1205: No), the process proceeds to step S1208.

<Step S1206>
In step S1206, the MPU 41 reads the counter values of the jackpot type counter C2 and the variable type counter CS1 from the RAM 412. For example, when the winning / failing information is stored in the third holding area REA3 in step S1104 in the start winning process of FIG. 21, the jackpot type counter C2 and the variable type included in the winning / failing information stored in the third holding area REA3. The counter value of the counter CS1 is read out. Of the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area REA4, the hold area in which the hit / fail information is stored in step S1104 in the start winning process of FIG. 21 is the value of the hold number N stored in the hold number storage area NA. It can be judged by.

<Step S1207>
In step S1207, the MPU 41 sets the jackpot type counter C2, the variable type counter CS1 and the hold number N in the first hold command. As described above, since the first hold command includes the hold number N read in step S1201, the MPU 51 of the voice lamp control device 5 that receives the first hold command is the hold number included in the first hold command. By referring to N, it is possible to recognize whether the first hold command corresponds to the pass / fail information stored in which of the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area REA4.

<Steps S1208 and S1209>
In step S1208, the MPU 41 reads the counter value of the variation type counter CS1 from the RAM 412. Next, the MPU 41 sets the information indicating that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out, the variable type counter CS1 and the hold number N in the first hold command (step S1209).

The first hold command set to be turned on in the first hold command setting process is stored in the RAM 412, and is executed in the main process step S1301 of FIG. 23 described later, which is executed by the MPU 41 of the main control device 4. It is erased after being transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 together with the command of. Further, the content of the first hold command described here is only an example, and if the voice lamp control device 5 can grasp the same content as the hold command, the content is not limited to the one described here. For example, it is conceivable that some or all of the information of the first hold command is included in another command.

[Main processing of main control unit 4]
Next, with reference to FIG. 23, the main process executed by the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 will be described. In the main process, the main control process for the progress of the variable game and the jackpot game is executed. In the main process, the processes of steps S1301 to S1309 are executed as periodic processes of, for example, a 4 msec cycle, and the counter update process of steps S131 to S1312 is executed in the remaining time from the end of the processes of steps S1301 to S1309 to the next cycle. To.

<Step S1301>
As shown in FIG. 23, in step S1301, the MPU 41 transfers output data such as a command set in the main timer interrupt process of FIG. 20 or the previous main process to a control device such as a sub control unit 332 or a peripheral control unit 140. Executes external output processing to be sent to. For example, in RAM412, commands such as a variable pattern command, a first hold command, a second hold command, a shift command, a jackpot start command, a round game start command, an ending start command, a setting value change command, and a unit jackpot lottery count update command are set. If so, the command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5. Further, when the prize ball command is set in the RAM 412 in the prize ball command setting process in step S1303 described later in the main process, the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control device 7.

<Step S1302>
In step S1302, the MPU 41 updates the value of the variable type counter CS1. Specifically, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the counter value of the variable type counter CS1 and clears the counter value to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value.

<Step S1303>
In step S1303, the MPU 41 sets the prize ball command to be output to the payout control device 7 and the sub control unit 332 in the RAM 412. Specifically, the MPU 41 determines whether or not a prize has been generated in the general winning opening 313, the variable winning opening 316, or the like, based on the winning detection information stored in the RAM 412. Then, when a prize has been won, a prize ball command indicating the number of prize balls to be paid out according to the prize is set in the RAM 412. At this time, the MPU 41 is stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 when a prize is generated in the general winning opening 313 or the first winning opening 314 in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). The number of balls paid out from the general winning lot or the number of balls paid out from the first winning lot is updated to the value obtained by adding the number of balls paid out by this winning. Further, the MPU 41 is a RAM 412 when a prize is generated in the second winning opening 315 in the time-saving game state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode) or the probability variation game state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode). The number of balls paid out from the second winning opening stored in the game information storage area 412d of the above is updated to a value obtained by adding the number of balls paid out by the current winning. Further, in the jackpot game state, when a prize is generated in the variable winning opening 316, the MPU 41 sets the number of variable winning opening payout balls stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 as the number of payout balls due to this winning. Is updated to the added value.

<Step S1304>
In step S1304, the MPU 41 executes a variable game control process for controlling the game in the variable game. The details of the variable game control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 24. In the variable game control process, the above-mentioned jackpot lottery is executed, and the variable pattern command required for the symbol variable display by the symbol display unit 341 is set. Will be done. At this time, the MPU 41 has a jackpot random number counter C1 updated in step S1003 of the main timer interrupt process of FIG. 20, a jackpot type counter C2, a reach random number counter C3, and a variation updated in steps S1302 and S1312 of this process. Based on each value of the type counter CS1, a variation pattern command indicating the lottery result of the jackpot lottery and the variation display time is set in the RAM 412.

<Step S1305>
In step S1305, the MPU 41 executes a jackpot game control process for controlling the progress of the game in the jackpot game. In the jackpot game control process, the control process for the jackpot game including the opening, opening / closing execution mode, and ending is executed. In the open / close execution mode, the MPU 41 controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 319 for the round game in which the variable winning opening 316 is opened, and as a result, the result of the big hit lottery that triggered the transition to the big hit game (big hit type). ) Is executed as many times as necessary. For example, the MPU 41 executes a round game 5 times when the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot and a 5R probability variation jackpot, and executes a round game 16 times when the jackpot type is a 16R probability variation jackpot. Further, in the jackpot game control process, the round game start command is set in the RAM 412 when each round game is started in the open / close execution mode, and the ending start command is set in the RAM 412 when the ending is started.

<Step S1306>
In step S1306, the MPU 41 executes a game state transition process for shifting the game state based on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery in step S1602 or S1603 in the fluctuation start process of FIG. 26, which will be described later. In the game state transition process, the MPU 41 sets the game state when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the jackpot game state in which the open / close execution mode is executed, the probability variation game state which is the high probability mode and the high frequency support mode, the low probability mode and the high. It shifts to the time-saving game state which is the frequency support mode, the normal game state which is the low probability mode and the low frequency support mode, and the like.

For example, when the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit, the MPU 41 shifts the game state to the big hit game state after the end of the variable game that notifies the lottery result. At this time, the MPU 41 sets the jackpot game state flag stored in the RAM 412 to ON. Further, when the jackpot game is completed, the MPU 41 shifts the gaming state from the jackpot gaming state to a predetermined gaming state according to the lottery result in the jackpot lottery that triggered the execution of the jackpot game. In the present embodiment, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 5R probability variation jackpot or a 16R probability variation jackpot, the MPU 41 shifts to the probability variation game state after the jackpot game ends, and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 5R normal jackpot. In some cases, the game shifts to the time-saving game state after the jackpot game ends. In addition, when the notification of the lottery result for the specified number of jackpot lottery is completed in the time-saving game state, the game state is shifted to the normal game state after the end of the variable game.

Further, when the transition of the gaming state is shifted, the MPU 41 sets the flag for the gaming state before the transition to off, and sets the flag for the gaming state after the transition to on. For example, the MPU 41 sets the jackpot game flag off and the high probability mode flag on when there is a transition of the gaming state from the jackpot gaming state to the probability variation gaming state. On the other hand, when the gaming state shifts from the probabilistic game state to the jackpot game state, the high probability mode flag is set to off, while the jackpot game flag is set to on.

Further, when shifting the game state to the big hit game state, the MPU 41 sets the big hit game start command in the RAM 412 and adds 1 to the "big hit number" stored in the game information storage area 412d set in the RAM 412.

<Step S1307>
In step S1307, the MPU 41 executes the set value change process. In this set value change process, a process of displaying or hiding the set value or controlling the change of the set value stored in the game information storage area 412d is executed according to the operation of the set value change operation unit 46. The details of the set value change process will be described later with reference to FIG. 27.

Further, in the present embodiment, the set value change process is executed in the main process, but is limited to the start-up process that is started when the power is turned on, or the period from the start-up process to the start of launching the game ball. It is also conceivable that it will be executed. As a result, after the game is started by the player, the set value cannot be changed until the next power is turned on, so that it is possible to prevent the set value from being changed during the business hours of the game hall. ..

<Step S1308>
In step S1308, the MPU 41 executes the specific performance information update process in the game information. In the present embodiment, the base information, the number of unit jackpot lottery, the continuous bonus ratio, and the bonus ratio are updated as the specific performance information. The details of the specific performance information update process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29.

<Step S1309>
In step S1309, the MPU 41 executes the display control process of the performance display monitor 43. In the display control process of the performance display monitor 43, a process of displaying the base information updated in step S1308 on the performance display monitor 43 is executed. The details of the display control process of the performance display monitor 43 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 30 to 33.

<Step S1310>
In step S1310, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the execution timing of the next main process has arrived, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (4 msec in the present embodiment) has elapsed from the start of the main process this time. Here, when the MPU 41 determines that the execution timing of the next main process has arrived (step S1310: Yes), the process shifts to step S1301 and executes each process after S1301 described above. On the other hand, when the MPU 41 determines that the execution timing of the next main process has not arrived (step S1310: No), until the execution timing of the next main process arrives, that is, at the execution timing of the next main process. During the remaining time until it is reached, step S1310, step S1311, and step S1312 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that the execution timing of the next main process has arrived (step S1310: Yes).

<Step S1311>
In step S1311, the MPU 41 updates the random number initial value counters CIN1 and CIN2. Specifically, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the counter values of the random number initial value counters CIN1 and CIN2, and clears the counter value to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value.

<Step S1312>
In step S1312, the MPU 41 updates the variation type counter CS1. Specifically, 1 is added to the counter value of the variable type counter CS1, and when those counter values reach the maximum value, the counter value is cleared to 0. Then, after updating the variation type counter CS1, the MPU 41 returns the process to step S1310.

[Variable game control processing]
Here, FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the variable game control process executed in step S1304 in the main process of FIG. 23. Hereinafter, the variable game control process will be described with reference to FIG. 24.

<Step S1401>

If it is finished and the jackpot game is not in progress (step S1401: No), the process proceeds to step S1402. Whether or not the jackpot game is executed is set to on when the game state shifts to the jackpot game state in the game state transition process of step S1306 in the main process of FIG. 23, and turns off when the jackpot game state shifts to another game state. Judgment is made based on the jackpot game flag set in.

<Step S1402>
In step S1402, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the symbol variation is being displayed, and if the symbol variation is being displayed (step S1402: Yes), the process is shifted to step S1403, and if the symbol variation is not being displayed, the process is shifted to step S1403. (Step S1402: No), the process shifts to step S1406. For example, whether or not the symbol variation is being displayed is set to ON at the start of the variation display in step S1606 in the variation start process of FIG. 26, which will be described later, and when the variation display time has elapsed (step S1403: Yes). The determination is made based on the variation display flag set to off in step S1405 of the variation game control process.

<Step S1403>
In step S1403, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the variation display time has elapsed from the start of the symbol variation display, and if it determines that the variation display time has elapsed (step S1403: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1404. If it is determined that the variation display time has not elapsed (step S1403: No), the variation game control process is terminated.

<Steps S1404 and S1405>
When the variable display time has elapsed (step S1403: Yes), the MPU 41 determines the result of the jackpot lottery corresponding to the variable game on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363 of the main display unit 36. The corresponding symbol is stopped and displayed (step S1404), and the variable display flag is set to off (step S1405).

<Step S1406>
When the symbol variation is not displayed (step S1402: No), the MPU 41 has a hold number N stored in the hold number storage area NAA of the hold storage area 412b and a hold number M stored in the hold number storage area NAB. It is determined whether or not both are 0 (step S1406). Here, when both the number of holds N and the number of holds M are 0 (step S1406: Yes), the MPU 41 ends the variable game control process. On the other hand, when either one of the number of holds N and the number of holds M is not 0 (step S1406: No), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1407.

<Step S1407>
In step S1407, the MPU 41 executes a data setting process for the data of the hit / miss information stored in the hold storage area 412b. When the MPU 41 finishes the process of step S1407, the process shifts to step S1408. The details of the data setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

<Step S1408>
In step S1408, the MPU 41 executes a variation start process for causing the symbol display unit 341 to execute a variation display based on the hit / miss information, and ends the variation game control process. The details of the fluctuation start processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

[Data setting process]
Here, FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the data setting process executed by the MPU 41 in step S1407 of FIG. 24. Hereinafter, the data setting process will be described with reference to FIG. 25.

<Step S1501>
As shown in FIG. 25, in step S1501, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the hold number M corresponding to the second special symbol game is 0, and when the hold number M is 0 (step S1501: Yes). , The process proceeds to step S1502. On the other hand, when the number of holds M is not 0 (step S1501: No), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1505.

<Steps S1502 to S1504>
When the hold number M is 0 (step S1501: Yes), the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the hold number N stored in the hold number storage area NAA (step S1502), and shifts from the first hold area REA1 to the execution area AE. The pass / fail information is moved (step S1503). Subsequently, the MPU 41 shifts the pass / fail information of the second reserved area REA2 to the fourth reserved area REA4 one by one (step S1504). Specifically, in step S1504, the pass / fail information of the second hold area REA2 is moved to the first hold area REA1, the pass / fail information of the third hold area REA3 is moved to the second hold area REA2, and the fourth hold area REA4. The pass / fail information is moved to the third holding area REA3. When the process of step S1504 is completed, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1508.

<Steps S1505-S1507>
Step S1505 shifts to the case where the hold number M is 0 (step S1501: No), but step S1501 shifts to the case where both or one of the hold number M and the hold number N is not 0 in step S1406 of FIG. (Step S1406: No). Therefore, when the hold number M is 0 (step S1501: No), the MPU 41 can determine that the hold number N is not 0, and therefore executes the processes of steps S1505 to S1507.

Specifically, the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the hold number M stored in the hold number storage area NAB (step S1505), and moves the hit / fail information from the first hold area REB1 to the execution area AE (step S1506). Subsequently, the MPU 41 shifts the pass / fail information of the second reserved area REB2 to the fourth reserved area REB4 one by one (step S1507). Specifically, in step S1507, the pass / fail information of the second hold area REB2 is moved to the first hold area REB1, the pass / fail information of the third hold area REB3 is moved to the second hold area REB2, and the fourth hold area REB4. The pass / fail information is moved to the third holding area REB3. When the process of step S1507 is completed, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1508.

<Step S1508>
In step S1508, the MPU 41 sets a shift command in the RAM 412 indicating that the pass / fail information of the first hold area REA1 to the fourth hold area REA4 or the first hold area REB1 to the fourth hold area REB4 has been shifted. Then, the shift command set in step S1508 is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the external output process of step S1301 of the next main process (see FIG. 23) executed by the MPU 41. As a result, the number of reserved symbols displayed on the symbol display unit 341 is changed. When the process of step S1508 is completed, the MPU 41 ends the data setting process and shifts the process to step S1408 of FIG. 24.

[Fluctuation start processing]
Here, FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation start processing executed by the MPU 41 in step S1408 of FIG. 24. Hereinafter, the fluctuation start processing will be described with reference to FIG. 26.

<Step S1601>
As shown in FIG. 26, in step S1601, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the high probability mode. Whether or not the high probability mode is set is determined based on, for example, whether or not the high probability mode flag set to be turned on in the game state transition process of step S1306 in the main process of FIG. 23 is set to on. .. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1602 when the gaming state is in the high probability mode (step S1601: Yes), and when the gaming state is not in the high probability mode (step S1601: No), that is, when the gaming state is in the low probability mode. If there is, the process proceeds to step S1603.

<Steps S1602 and S1603>
In step S1602, the MPU 41 of the hold storage area 412b is based on the high-probability mode pass / fail table (see FIG. 14B) saved according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. It is determined whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 included as numerical information in the winning / failing information stored in the execution area AE is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning. On the other hand, in step S1603, the MPU 41 has a hold storage area based on the low-probability mode hit / fail table (see FIG. 14 (A)) saved according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. 27, which will be described later. It is determined whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 included as numerical information in the winning / failing information stored in the execution area AE of 412b is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning.

In steps S1602 and S1603, the pass / fail determination is executed based on the high-probability mode pass / fail table or the low-probability mode pass / fail table saved according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. 27, which will be described later. , In steps S1602 and S1603, after reading the set value saved in step S1710 in the set value change process of FIG. 27, which will be described later, the high-probability mode pass / fail table or the low-probability mode pass / fail table according to the set value is read one by one. You may select and make a pass / fail judgment.

<Step S1604>
In step S1604, the MPU 41 sets the variation display time of the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363 of the main display unit 36 corresponding to the variation pattern of the variation game in the variation display time counter. Specifically, when the result of the hit / fail determination in step S1602 or S1603 is a normal jackpot, the MPU 41 determines a fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the normal jackpot fluctuation table (see FIG. 15A). Identify. Further, when the result of the hit / fail determination in step S1602 or S1603 is the probability variation jackpot, the MPU 41 specifies the variation pattern based on the variation type counter CS1 and the probability variation jackpot variation table (see FIG. 15B). .. Further, when the result of the hit / fail determination in step S1602 or S1603 is wrong, the MPU 41 specifies the fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the deviation fluctuation table (see FIG. 15C).

<Step S1605>
In step S1605, the MPU 41 sets the RAM 412 with a variation pattern command including the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variation game and the variation pattern identified in step S1604. As a result, in step S1301 of the next main process (see FIG. 23) executed by the MPU 41, the fluctuation pattern command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5, and the voice lamp control device 5 displays the symbol based on the fluctuation pattern command. The symbol variation display by the unit 341 is executed.

As described above, when the lottery result is "normal jackpot", the MPU 41 has "A01" to "A" in which "A" indicating that it is a 5R normal jackpot is added to the fluctuation patterns "01" to "03". Any one of "A03" is set in RAM412 as a variation pattern command. Further, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", the MPU 41 is any of "B01" to "B03" in which "B" indicating that it is a 5R probability variation jackpot is added to the fluctuation patterns "01" to "03". Is set in RAM412 as a variation pattern command. Further, when the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot", the MPU 41 is any of "C01" to "C03" in which "C" indicating that the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot" is added to the fluctuation patterns "01" to "03". Is set in RAM412 as a variation pattern command. Further, when the lottery result is "out of place", the MPU 41 changes any of "D01" to "D08" in which "D" indicating that the lottery pattern is out of order is added to the fluctuation patterns "01" to "08". Set to RAM 412 as a command. Further, when the lottery result is "off", the MPU 41 includes information on whether it is a front-back off reach, a reach other than front-back off, or a complete out-of-order in the variation pattern command.

<Step S1606>
In step S1606, the MPU 41 starts the symbol variation display of the main display unit 36 and ends the variation start process. The MPU 41 sets the variable display flag to on when the symbol variation display of the main display unit 36 is started. This variation display flag is referred to in step S1402 in the variation game control process of FIG. 24 to determine whether or not the symbol variation display of the main display unit 36 is in progress. Further, when the symbol variation display of the main display unit 36 is started, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the "cumulative jackpot lottery number" stored in the game information storage area 412d set in the RAM 412. Further, when the result of the hit / fail judgment based on the low probability mode hit / miss table in step S1603 is wrong, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the "number of consecutive hits" stored in the game information storage area 412d, and the hit / miss result is a big hit. In a certain case, clear the "number of consecutive deviations" to 0 times.

[Setting value change process]
Here, FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the set value change process executed in step S1307 of the main process of FIG. 23. Hereinafter, the setting value changing process will be described with reference to FIG. 27.

<Step S1701>
As shown in FIG. 27, in step S1701, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the symbol variation display is in progress, and if the symbol variation display is in progress (step S1701: Yes), the set value change process is terminated. If the symbol variation display is not in progress (step S1701: No), the process shifts to step S1702. For example, whether or not the symbol variation is being displayed is determined based on the variation display flag set on in step S1606 in the variation start process of FIG. 26.

<Step S1702>
If the symbol variation is not displayed (step S1701: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not it is in the jackpot gaming state (step S1702), and if it is in the jackpot gaming state (step S1702: Yes), the set value. When the change process is completed and the game is not in the jackpot game state (step S1702: No), the process is shifted to step S1703. For example, whether or not it is a jackpot game is determined based on the jackpot game state flag set to be on in the game state transition process of step S1306 in the main process of FIG. 23.

<Step S1703>
When neither the symbol variation display nor the jackpot game state (No in both steps S1701 and S1702), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the power of the set value display unit 45 has been switched from off to on (step S1703), that is, the setting. It is determined whether or not the operation of turning on the power of the set value display unit 45 has been performed on the value change operation unit 46. That is, in the present embodiment, the set value is not displayed and the set value cannot be changed when the symbol variation is being displayed (step S1701: Yes) or in the jackpot game state (step S1702: Yes). Here, when the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from off to on (step S1703: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1704 and switches the power of the set value display unit 45 from off to on. If not (step S1703: No), the process proceeds to step S1707.

<Steps S1704 to S1706>
When the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from off to on (step S1703: Yes), the MPU 41 reads out the set value stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 in step S1710 described later (step S1704). , A number indicating the read set value is displayed on the set value display unit 45 (step S1705). This makes it possible to check the current set value. Then, the MPU 41 sets the set value display flag indicating that the set value is displayed on the set value display unit 45 to on (step S1706), and ends the set value change process.

<Step S1707>
When the power of the set value display unit 45 is not switched from off to on (step S1703: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the set value display flag is set to on (step S1707). The set value display flag indicates that the set value is displayed on the set value display unit 45 as described above, and is set to ON in step S1706. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1708 when the set value display flag is set to on (step S1707: Yes), and when the set value display flag is set to off (step S1707: No). That is, when the set value display unit 45 is off and the power is not turned on, the set value change process is terminated.

<Step S1708>
When the set value display flag is set to ON (step S1707: Yes), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the set value changing operation unit 46 has been rotated by a predetermined angle (step S1708). That is, the MPU 41 determines whether or not a rotation operation for changing the set value has been performed. When the set value changing operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle (step S1708: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1709, and when the set value changing operation unit 46 is not rotated (step S1708: No), The process proceeds to step S1711.

<Step S1709>
When the set value changing operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle (step S1708: Yes), the MPU 41 executes a process of changing the display on the set value display unit 45 (step S1709). For example, when the set value changing operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle to the right, the MPU 41 displays a number one larger than the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 before the rotation, and vice versa. When the set value changing operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle to the left, a number one smaller than the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 is displayed before the rotation.

If the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 before rotation is "6" and the set value change operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle to the right, it is displayed on the set value display unit 45. Is changed to "1", and when the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 before rotation is "1" and the set value change operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle to the left, the setting is set. The number displayed on the value display unit 45 is changed to "6". Further, when the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 is "6", it is prevented from rotating further to the right, and the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 is "1". In addition, it may not rotate further to the left.

<Step S1710>
In step S1710, the MPU 41 overwrites and saves the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 as the set value in the set value of the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412, and ends the set value change process. As a result, when the power of the setting value changing operation unit 46 is switched from on to off, the setting value saved in the RAM 412 immediately before the power is turned off is finally used as a valid setting value for the game information of the RAM 412. It is stored in the storage area 412d. Therefore, the set value stored in the RAM 412 is changed by changing the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 by rotating the set value change operation unit 46. Then, the set value can be determined by turning off the power of the set value display unit 45 in a state where the number corresponding to the target set value is displayed on the set value display unit 45.

<Step S1711>
When the set value change operation unit 46 is not rotated by a predetermined angle (step S1708: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711), that is, the set value is changed. It is determined whether or not the operation unit 46 is operated to turn off the power of the set value display unit 45. When the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1712, and the power of the set value display unit 45 is not switched from on to off. In the case (step S1711: No), the setting value change process is terminated. When the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711: Yes), the set value display unit 45 cuts off the energization of the 7-segment display, thereby indicating the set value. Is turned off, and the set value is confirmed as described above.

<Steps S1712 and S1713>
When the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711: Yes), the MPU 41 is a low-probability mode pass / fail table according to the set value stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 in step S1710. (See FIG. 14 (A)) and the high-probability mode hit / fail table (see FIG. 14 (B)) are selected and stored in the RAM 412 (step S1712). Then, the MPU 41 sets the set value display flag to off, and ends the set value change process.

Here, in step S1712, the low-probability mode hit / fail table (see FIG. 14 (A)) and the high-probability mode pass / fail table (see FIG. 14 (B)) according to the set values stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412. Is selected. That is, since the hit / fail table with the same set value is selected between the low probability mode hit / miss table and the high probability mode hit / miss table, the operation of changing the set value is easy. However, the set value in the low probability mode and the set value in the high probability mode may be individually changed. In this case, for example, the setting value of the low probability mode is set to "1" and the setting value of the high probability mode is set to "6". Will be possible.

[Performance information update processing]
Here, FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the specific performance information update process executed in step S1308 in the main process of FIG. 23. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an example of base information updated in the specific performance information update process of FIG. 28. Hereinafter, the specific performance information update process will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29.

<Steps S1801 and S1802>
As shown in FIG. 28, the MPU 41 reads out the number of out balls for base calculation of the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 (step S1801), and the read out number of out balls reaches 60,000 balls. It is determined whether or not (step S1802). When the number of out balls reaches 60,000 balls (step S1802: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S1805, and when the number of out balls does not reach 60,000 balls (step S1802: No), the process steps. Shift to S1803.

<Steps S1803 and S1804>
When the number of out balls has not reached 60,000 (step S1802: No), the MPU 51 reads out the number of general winning slot payout balls and the number of first winning slot payout balls for base calculation of base information (step S1808). Then, the MPU 51 sets the number of out balls for the base calculation of the base information read in step S1801 and the number of general winning opening payout balls and the number of first winning opening payout balls for the base calculation of the base information read in step S1803. Based on this, the current base BL is calculated, and the current base BL of the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is overwritten and updated (step S1804) (see FIG. 29 (A)). The current base BL (%) is calculated as 100 × (the number of balls paid out from the general winning opening + the number of balls paid out from the first winning opening) / the number of out balls.

<Steps S1805 to S1808>
When the number of out balls reaches 60,000 balls (step S1802: Yes), the MPU 41 updates the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 (steps S1805 to S1807). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 29 (A) and 29 (B), the MPU 41 shifts the previous 60,000 ball base B1 to the previous 60,000 ball base (step S1805) in the base information, and is based on the current situation. The BL is shifted to the 60,000 ball base B1 last time (step S1806), and the current base BL is cleared to 0 (step S1807). Then, the MPU 41 clears the number of general winning slot payout balls, the number of first winning slot payout balls, and the number of out balls stored as base information in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 to 0 balls (step S1808). ).

<Step S1809>
When the process of step S1804 or S1808 is completed, the MPU 51 reads various information in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412, calculates other specific performance, and updates the other specific performance information to the calculated value (step S1809). ), The specific performance information update process is terminated. The specific performance in this case is, for example, the number of unit jackpot lottery, the continuous bonus ratio, the bonus ratio, and the like.

[Performance display monitor display control processing]
Here, FIGS. 30 to 33 are flowcharts showing an example of the procedure of the display control process of the performance display monitor 43 executed in step S1309 of the main process of FIG. 23. Hereinafter, the display control process of the performance display monitor 43 will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 33.

<Step S1901>
As shown in FIG. 30, in step S1901, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the BL display flag is set to ON. Here, the BL display flag is a flag indicating that the current base BL is displayed on the performance display monitor 43, and is set to ON in step S1906 or step S1930 of FIG. 33, which will be described later. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1908 of FIG. 31 when the BL display flag is set to on (step S1901: Yes), and when the BL display flag is set to off (step S1901: No). ), The process proceeds to step S1902.

<Step S1902>
When the BL display flag is set to off (step S1901: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the B1 display flag is set to on (step S1902). Here, the B1 display flag is a flag indicating that the 60,000 ball base B1 was displayed last time on the performance display monitor 43, and is set to ON in step S1912 of FIG. 31 described later. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1917 of FIG. 32 when the B1 display flag is set to on (step S1902: Yes), and when the B1 display flag is set to off (step S1902: No). ), The process proceeds to step S1903.

<Step S1903>
When the B1 display flag is set to off (step S1902: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the B2 display flag is set to on (step S1903). Here, the B2 display flag is a flag indicating that the 60,000 ball base B2 is displayed two times before on the performance display monitor 43, and is set to ON in step S1921 of FIG. 32, which will be described later. When the B2 display flag is set to on (step S1903: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1926 of FIG. 33, and when the B2 display flag is set to off (step S1903: No). ), The process proceeds to step S1904.

<Step S1904>
When the B2 display flag is set to off (step S1903: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the performance display switch 44 has been switched from off to on (step S1904). When the performance display switch 44 is switched from off to on (step S1904: Yes), the process shifts to step S1905, and when the performance display switch 44 is not switched from off to on (step S1904: No). End the display control process.

<Steps S1905 to S1907>
When the performance display switch 44 is switched from off to on (step S1904: Yes), the MPU 41 causes the performance display monitor 43 to display the current base BL included in the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412. (Step S1905). For example, when the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is the example shown in FIG. 29 (A), "8.", "L", and "8" indicating that the current base BL is 29%. 2 ”and“ 9 ”are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43, and when the base information is an example shown in FIG. 29 (B), the current base BL is 0%. “8.”, “L”, “0”, and “0” indicating the presence are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43. Then, the MPU 41 sets the BL display flag to on (step S1906), sets the BL display time counter for displaying the current base BL on the performance display monitor 43 for a certain period of time (step S1907), and performs the display control process. To finish.

<Steps S1908 and S1909>

[Processing of audio lamp control device 5]
Next, the process executed by the MPU 51 in the voice lamp control device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 to 47.

As another embodiment, it is conceivable that a part or all of the processing executed by the MPU 51 of the voice lamp control device 5 in the present embodiment is executed by the MPU 61 of the display control device 6. Further, in the voice lamp control device 5, the MPU 51 also executes control processing of the speaker 26 and the illumination unit 27, startup processing at the time of starting up the voice lamp control device 5, NMI interrupt processing at the time of a power failure, and the like. The description of these processes will be omitted.

[Sub-timer interrupt processing of audio lamp control device 5]
Here, FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the sub-timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 51 of the voice lamp control device 5. The MPU 51 executes, for example, the sub-timer interrupt process as a periodic process having a cycle of 1 msec.

As shown in FIG. 34, in the sub-timer interrupt process, the MPU 51 includes a display order setting process (step S2000), a counter update process (step S2001), a command determination process (step S2002), and a variable game effect process (step S2003). , The jackpot game effect processing (step S2004), and the set value suggestion processing (step S2005) are executed.

[Display order setting process]
In the display order setting process (step S2000), the MPU 51 refers to the game set value (set value) set for defining the jackpot probability in the game machine 10 and displays the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined period. The order of the numbers to be displayed is determined and stored (set). In this embodiment, five numbers for specifying a plurality of (five) game set values (non-set values) other than the set value by executing the set value suggestion process in the jackpot game for a predetermined period. Are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined order. Therefore, in the display order setting process, the order in which the five numbers that specify the plurality of non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set. Here, FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the display order setting process executed in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 34, and FIG. 36 is the number display order determination table referred to in the display order setting process of FIG. 35. It is a figure which shows an example. Hereinafter, the details of the display order setting process will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36.

<Step S2011>
As shown in FIG. 35, in the display order setting process, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the display order setting flag is set to ON (step S2011). The display order setting flag is a flag indicating that the setting of the display order of the numbers that specify the non-set value in the jackpot game for a predetermined period has been completed, and is set to be turned on in step S2016 of the display order setting process. .. Further, the display order setting flag is initially set to off when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on. Therefore, when the sub-timer interrupt process is executed by allowing the sub-timer interrupt process by the start-up process of the voice lamp control device, the sub-timer interrupt process is displayed by the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined period. The order of the numbers is set (steps S2014 to S2016 described later). That is, in the game machine 10, when the power is turned on, the order of the numbers to be displayed by the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined period is set.

By the way, the power supply of the game machine 10 is often turned on before the opening of the game hall. Therefore, the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on, so that the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set for each business day. This prevents the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 from being fixed, so that the same information is repeatedly presented on the 7-segment display unit 39 and the information on the 7-segment display unit 39. It is possible to prevent the display of from becoming monotonous.

Here, when the display order setting flag is on (step S2011: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2012, and when the display order setting flag is off (step S2011: No), the process is performed in step S2014. Move to.

<Steps S2012 and S2013>
When the display order setting flag is on (step S2011: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the set value change flag is set to on (step S2012). The set value change flag is a flag indicating that the game set value (set value) set to specify the jackpot probability in the game machine 10 has been changed, and is a flag in the command determination process of FIG. 37, which will be described later. It is set to on in step S2121. When the set value change flag is on (step S2012: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2014 after setting the set value change flag to off (step S2013). That is, in the game machine 10, when the set value is changed, the order of the numbers to be displayed by the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 in the predetermined period is set. When the set value is changed in this way, the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set, so that the display order of the numbers can be determined according to the set value. It is possible to prevent the presentation of information on the display unit 39 from becoming monotonous.

On the other hand, when the set value change flag is off (step S2012: No), the MPU 51 ends the display order setting process.

<Steps S2014 to S2016>
In step S2014, the MPU 51 acquires the set value from the RAM 512, and further sets the order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 with reference to the set value and the number display order determination table (see FIG. 36) (see FIG. 36). Step S2015). Here, FIG. 36 (A) is a diagram showing an example of the number display order determination table, and FIG. 36 (B) shows the display order and the 7-segment display unit 39 described in the number display order determination table shown in FIG. 36 (A). It is a figure which shows the correspondence relation with the display order of a number in.

As shown in FIG. 36 (A), in the number display order determination table, lottery is performed for each game set value 1 to 6 (set value 1 to 6) set to define the jackpot probability in the game machine 10. The display order of numbers is defined by the random value. The lottery random number values are 120 from 0 to 119, and one display order is associated with each lottery random number value, and the selection probability of each display order is the same. The display order is the display order A1 to A120 selected when the setting value is 1, the display order B1 to B120 selected when the setting value is 2, the display order C1 to C120 selected when the setting value is 3, and the setting. The set value 1 includes the display orders D1 to D120 selected when the value is 4, the display orders E1 to E120 selected when the set value is 5, and the display orders F1 to F120 selected when the set value is 6. Every ~ 6, 120 display orders corresponding to all combinations of numbers indicating non-set values are set.

The display order A1 to A120 selected when the set value 1 is set is the five numbers "2" that specify the game set values (non-set values) 2 to 6 other than the number "1" that specifies the set value 1. The order in which "6" is displayed is specified (see FIG. 36 (B)). That is, when the set value is 1, and any of the display orders A1 to A120 is selected according to the lottery random number value, the number "1" that specifies that the set value is 1 is 7 segments. It is not displayed on the display unit 39.

The display order B1 to B120 selected when the set value 2 is selected specifies the set values "1" and "3" to "6" set values 2 to 6 other than the number "2" that specifies the set value 2. The order in which the five numbers "2" to "6" are displayed is specified (see FIG. 36 (B)). That is, when the set value is 2, and any of the display orders B1 to B120 is selected according to the lottery random number value, the number "2" that specifies that the set value is 2 is 7 segments. It is not displayed on the display unit 39.

The display order C1 to C120 selected when the setting value 3 is selected is the five numbers "1" and "1" that specify the setting values 1, 2, 4 to 6 other than the number "3" that specifies the setting value 1. The order in which "2" and "4" to "6" are displayed is specified (see FIG. 36 (B)). That is, when any of the display orders C1 to C120 is selected because the set value is 3, the number "3" that specifies that the set value is 3 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. There is no such thing.

The display order D1 to D120 selected when the setting value 4 is selected is the five numbers "1" to "1" to specify the setting values 1, 3, 5, and 6 other than the number "4" that specifies the setting value 4. The order in which "3", "5", and "6" are displayed is specified (see FIG. 36 (B)). That is, when any of the display orders D1 to D120 is selected because the set value is 4, the number "4" that identifies the set value 4 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. There is no such thing.

The display order E1 to E120 selected when the set value 5 is set is the five numbers "1" to "4" that specify the set values 1 to 4 and 6 other than the number "5" that specifies the set value 5. , The order in which "6" is displayed is specified (see FIG. 36 (B)). That is, when any of the display orders E1 to E120 is selected because the set value is 5, the number "5" that specifies that the set value is 5 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. There is no such thing.

The display order F1 to F120 selected when the setting value 6 is selected displays five numbers "1" to "5" that specify the setting values 1 to 5 other than the number "6" that specifies the setting value 6. (See FIG. 36 (B)). That is, when any of the display orders F1 to F120 is selected because the set value is 6, the number "6" that specifies that the set value is 6 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. There is no such thing.

Then, when the order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set (step S2015), the MPU 51 sets the display order setting flag to off (step S2016), and ends the display order setting process. That is, the MPU 51 is set to specify the jackpot probability in the game machine 10 when the power is turned on (step S2011: No) and when the set value is changed (step S2013: Yes). The order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set according to the game set values 1 to 6 (set values 1 to 6).

In this way, in the game machine 10, the number display order on the 7-segment display unit 39 is determined based on the number display order determination table when the power is turned on, and after the power is turned on, the number display order determination table is changed by changing the set value. The display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 is determined based on. As a result, when a predetermined condition (for example, turning on the power or changing the setting) is satisfied, the numbers (non-set values) can be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined order in the specified period. Since the power of the game machine 10 is often turned on before the opening of the game hall, the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on. The display order of numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set for each business day. This prevents the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 from being fixed, so that the same information is repeatedly presented on the 7-segment display unit 39 and the information on the 7-segment display unit 39. It is possible to prevent the display of from becoming monotonous.

In the display order setting process of the present embodiment, the display order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on and when the set value is changed. , The display order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 may be set when other conditions (predetermined conditions) are satisfied. The predetermined conditions in this case will be described in the third embodiment described later, but the predetermined conditions include, for example, the start of a predetermined period, the start of the jackpot game, and the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game. Is started. Even when the display order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set by satisfying these predetermined conditions, it is possible to prevent the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 from being fixed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the same information from being repeatedly presented on the 7-segment display unit 39 and the information display on the 7-segment display unit 39 from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the number display order determination table shown in FIG. 36 (A), the probability that all the number display orders are selected is the same for the same set value, but the probability that the number display order is selected is not necessarily the same. It doesn't have to be. For example, it is conceivable that the number display order determination table is set so that the probability that at least a part of the number display order is selected for the same set value is different from that of other number display orders. That is, it is conceivable that a specific display order is easily selected, and conversely, it is difficult to select a specific display order. By setting the probability that at least a part of the number display order is selected according to the set value to be different from the other number display order in this way, it is easy to select a specific number display order according to the set value. However, it is also possible to make it difficult to select a specific number display order. That is, unlike the case where the probability that the display order of all numbers is selected is the same, it is easy to identify a specific non-setting value, and conversely, it is difficult to specify a specific non-setting value. It will also be possible to do. As a result, it is possible to adjust the high / low possibility of having a high setting value and the high / low possibility of having a low setting value. Specifically, for example, when the set value is a low set value (for example, a set value of 2 or less), the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set value corresponding to the high set value (for example, the set value of 5 or more) is delayed. You may do it. In this case, by leaving the possibility of the high setting value to the end when the setting value is low, the player can expect the high setting value and the low setting value can be obtained. It is prevented from being identified early by the player. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game, prevent the game on the game machine 10 from being terminated early, and suppress a decrease in the operating rate on the game machine 10. On the contrary, when the set value is a high set value (for example, a set value of 5 or more), the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values corresponding to the low set value (for example, the set value of 2 or less) is delayed. You may. In this case, the number corresponding to the high setting value and the number corresponding to the low setting value are not displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 until just before the setting value is specified to be the high setting value, and the player The possibility of a low set value remains until just before it is understood that is a high set value. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to which of the high setting value is advantageous for the player and the low setting value which is disadvantageous to the player, and enjoy the feeling of excitement until just before the high setting value is grasped. .. Further, regardless of the set value, it is conceivable that the display order of the numbers corresponding to the lowest game set value among the non-set values is not slow, and for example, the slowest display order can be easily selected. In this case, the number indicating the most unfavorable non-setting value for the player is displayed at the end, so until the last number is displayed, the most unfavorable non-setting value for the player and the player are displayed. There is still the possibility of a non-set value that is favorable to. As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to grasp that the game setting value (big hit probability) is the most disadvantageous for the player, so that it is possible to prevent the game on the game machine 10 from being terminated early, and the game can be played. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the operating rate of the machine.

Further, it is conceivable to set the number display order so that the number indicating the non-set value corresponding to the high set value and the number indicating the non-set value corresponding to the low set value can be displayed later. For example, a number display order in which the display order of at least one of "1" and "2" corresponding to the low setting value and at least one of "5" and "6" corresponding to the high setting value is slow is selected. It is also possible to make it easier to do. In this case as well, the set value includes the possibility that the high setting value is advantageous for the player and the possibility that the low setting value is disadvantageous for the player until just before the player grasps the set value. Until just before grasping, you can enjoy the excitement of whether it is a high setting value or a low setting value.

Also, except when the set value is the highest set value (set value is 6), the display order of numbers corresponding to non-set values higher than the set value is delayed. Set so that the number display order can be easily selected. Can be considered. For example, the priority of the number indicating the non-set value having a higher advantage judgment probability than the set value is set higher than the selection rate of the display order lower than the number indicating the non-set value having a lower advantage judgment probability than the set value. Can be considered. By delaying the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values higher than the set values in this way, the player is expected to have the possibility that the set values are higher than the actual set values until just before grasping the set values. Can be done. As a result, it is possible to guess and enjoy the non-set value (set value) while expecting the possibility that the set value is high until just before grasping the set value. On the contrary, except when the set value is the lowest set value (set value is 1), the display order of the numbers corresponding to the non-set values lower than the set value is delayed. It is easy to select the number display order. It is conceivable to set as. For example, the priority of the number indicating the non-set value having a lower advantage judgment probability than the set value is set higher than the selection rate of the display order lower than the number indicating the non-set value having a higher advantage judgment probability than the set value. Can be considered. By delaying the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values lower than the set values in this way, the numbers indicating the non-set values corresponding to the game set values lower than the set values are not set immediately before the set values are grasped. It is left as a display number. As a result, the final candidate for the set value becomes the actual set value and the game set value (non-set value) lower than the set value. As a result, in the end, the player's advantageous game set value is grasped as the set value, so that the joy when the set value is grasped is improved.

Further, regardless of the set value, it is conceivable to set the number display order so that the number display order in which the display order of the numbers corresponding to the high set value (for example, the set value 5 or more) is delayed can be easily selected. On the contrary, it is conceivable to set the number display order so that the number display order in which the display order of the numbers corresponding to the low set value (for example, the set value 2 or less) is earlier can be easily selected. In this way, the display order of the numbers corresponding to the low setting value is early, and the display order of the numbers corresponding to the high setting value is delayed, so that the higher setting value is displayed later. As a result, the player can expect the player to have a high setting value that is advantageous to the player until just before the player grasps the set value. Therefore, the non-set value is expected to be high. You can guess (set value) and enjoy it.

[Counter update process]
In the counter update process (step S2001), the MPU 51 updates the first stop symbol type counter, the effect pattern type counter, the fluctuation display counter, and the like. Specifically, the MPU 51 adds 1 to the counter values of the first stop symbol type counter and the effect type counter, and clears the counter value to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. The first stop symbol type counter updated here is used to determine the type of the decorative symbol to be stopped first based on the variation pattern command received from the main control device 4. For example, the first stop symbol type counter is a loop counter that loops between 0 and 99. Further, the effect pattern type counter is used to determine the effect type (effect pattern) based on the variation pattern command received from the main control device 4. For example, the effect type counter is a loop counter that loops between 0 and 109. On the other hand, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the fluctuation display counter. This fluctuation display counter is for measuring the fluctuation display time of the symbol display unit 341, and the counter value in the fluctuation display counter is set to be 0 when the remaining fluctuation display time becomes 0. Therefore, based on the counter value of the fluctuation display counter, it is possible to grasp the remaining fluctuation display time, that the fluctuation is in progress, that the fluctuation display of the symbol display unit 341 is completed, and the like.

[Command judgment processing]
In the command determination process (step S2002), a command received from the main control device 4 is determined, and a process corresponding to the command is executed. Here, FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the command determination process executed in step S2002 in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 34.

<Step S2101>
As shown in FIG. 37, in step S2101, the MPU 51 determines whether or not a command has been received from the main control device 4. Here, when the MPU 51 receives the command (step S2101: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2102. On the other hand, when the MPU 51 has not received the command (step S2101: No), the MPU 51 ends the command determination process. The command received from the main control device 4 is stored in the unprocessed command storage area of the RAM 512, and the MPU 51 determines whether or not the command has been received by referring to the unprocessed command storage area. The command stored in the unprocessed command storage area is determined to have received the command in step S2101, and when it is targeted for processing, it is deleted from the unprocessed command storage area, for example, in the processing work storage area. It will be remembered.

<Step S2102>
In step S2102, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the received command is a variation pattern command. Here, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2103 when it is a variable pattern command (step S2102: Yes), and shifts the process to step S2106 when the command is not a variable pattern command (step S2102: No).

<Step S2103>
In step S2103, the MPU 51 determines a variation pattern (a combination of stop symbols of decorative symbols and an effect type (effect pattern)) based on the variation pattern command received from the main control device 4. Specifically, the MPU 51 includes a variation pattern command, a first stop symbol selection table (see FIG. 38 (A)), a variation type table (see FIG. 38 (B)), and an effect type table (see FIG. 38 (B)) stored in ROM 511 in advance. The fluctuation pattern is determined based on (see FIGS. 39 (A) to 39 (C)) and the value of the effect type counter stored in the RAM 512. Further, when the variation pattern command includes information on the jackpot type, the MPU 51 sets the jackpot flag according to the jackpot type to on. Specifically, the MPU 51 sets the 5R normal jackpot flag on when the jackpot type is 5R normal jackpot, and sets the 5R probability variable jackpot flag on when the jackpot type is 5R probability variable jackpot, and sets the jackpot type to on. Set the 16R probability variation jackpot flag to on when is a 16R probability variation jackpot.

The stop symbol combination of the decorative symbol includes a first stop symbol, a second stop symbol, and a final stop symbol. The first stop symbol is a decorative symbol that is first stopped and displayed on the symbol display unit 341, the second stop symbol is a decorative symbol that is second stopped and displayed, and the final stop symbol is finally stopped and displayed. It is a design. The effect type table includes a normal reach effect pattern type selection table corresponding to normal reach (see FIG. 39 (A)), a super reach effect pattern type selection table corresponding to super reach (see FIG. 39 (B)), and a special reach. A special reach effect pattern type selection table (see FIG. 39C) is included.

Here, FIG. 38A is a diagram showing an example of a first stop symbol selection table. As shown in FIG. 38 (A), in the first stop symbol selection table, a decorative symbol (first stop symbol) to be first stopped and displayed on the symbol display unit 341 is defined. Note that FIG. 38 (A) shows a combination of symbols, "777", indicating that the decorative symbols are "1" to "9" and "333" is a probability variation jackpot (either 5R probability variation jackpot or 16R probability variation jackpot). Is a symbol combination indicating that it is a 16R probability variation jackpot, and that the doublet other than "333" and "777" is a symbol combination indicating that it is either a 5R normal jackpot, a 5R probability variation jackpot, or a 16R probability variation jackpot. It is assumed.

If the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", there is no distribution of "3" and "7" as the first stop symbol, and the first stop symbol has a predetermined probability from the decorative symbols other than "3" and "7". It is determined. That is, when the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", the symbol combination of "333" or "777" indicating that it is a 5R probability variation jackpot or a 16R probability variation jackpot (probability variation jackpot) is not stopped and displayed.

Further, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", "7" is not sorted as the first stop symbol, and the first stop symbol is determined from the decorative symbols other than "7" with a predetermined probability. That is, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", the symbol combination of "777" indicating that it is a 16R probability variation jackpot is not stopped and displayed. On the other hand, even when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", doublet symbol combinations other than the symbol combination of "333" indicating that it is a 5R probability variation jackpot may be stopped and displayed. That is, even when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot", the doublet symbol combination other than the symbol combination of "333" whose stop display result of the decorative symbol suggests the 5R normal jackpot can be stopped and displayed. Then, when the lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot" and a decorative symbol other than "3" excluding "7" is determined as the first stop symbol, the MPU 51 is a 5R probability variation jackpot in the jackpot game. Execute the 5R probability change promotion effect to be specified.

Furthermore, if the lottery result is "16 probability variation jackpot", there is a distribution for all the decorative symbols "1" to "9", and the first stop is made with a predetermined probability from the decorative symbols "1" to "9". The design is decided. That is, even when the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot", doublet symbol combinations other than the symbol combination of "777" indicating that it is a 16R probability variation jackpot can be stopped and displayed. That is, even when the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot", the doublet symbol combination other than the symbol combination of "777" which indicates the 5R probability variation jackpot or the 5R normal jackpot is stopped and displayed. Can be. Then, when the lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot" and "7" is determined as the first stop symbol, the MPU 51 executes a 16R promotion effect clearly indicating that it is a 16R probability variation jackpot in the jackpot game.

Then, when the first stop symbol is determined when the lottery result is a big hit, the MPU 51 determines the second stop symbol and the final stop symbol to be the same symbols as the previously determined first stop symbol. As a result, the stop symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the effective line of the symbol display unit 341 is determined in the game round.

On the other hand, if the lottery result is "missing", there is a distribution for all the decorative symbols "1" to "9", and the first stop symbol is determined from the decorative symbols "1" to "9" with a predetermined probability. Will be done. Then, when the MPU 51 determines the first stop symbol when the lottery result is "out", the out-of-order type selected based on the out-of-type table (FIG. 14 (D)) and the previously determined first stop symbol are used. The second stop symbol is determined based on the symbol. For example, when the deviation type is front-back deviation reach, the second stop symbol is determined to be the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is determined to be the symbols before and after the first stop symbol. Further, when the detachment type is reach other than the front-rear deviation, the second stop symbol is determined to be the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is different from the symbols before and after the first stop symbol and the first stop symbol. It is decided by the design. When the deviation type is completely out, the second stop symbol is determined to be a symbol different from the first stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is determined regardless of the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol. The stop symbol combination of the decorative symbols may be determined by the display control device 6, only the first stop symbol is determined by the voice lamp control device 5, and the second stop symbol and the final stop symbol are determined by the display control device 6. You may decide.

Further, FIG. 38B is a diagram showing an example of a variation type table. As shown in FIG. 38 (B), in the variation type table, the contents of the variation display time and the variation type (effect pattern) corresponding to the variation pattern command are defined. For example, the variation pattern command "A01" in which the lottery result is "normal jackpot" and the variation pattern is "01" is associated with the variation display time "30s" and the variation type "normal reach effect pattern". Further, the fluctuation pattern command "B02" whose lottery result is "5R probability variation jackpot" and whose variation pattern is "02" is associated with the variation display time "60s" and the variation type "super reach effect pattern". , The fluctuation pattern command "C03" whose lottery result is "16R probability variation jackpot" and whose variation pattern is "03" is associated with the variation display time "90s" and the variation type "special reach effect pattern". Further, the fluctuation pattern command "D04" in which the lottery result is "off" and the fluctuation pattern is "04" is associated with the fluctuation display time "7s" and the fluctuation type "non-reach effect pattern", and the lottery is performed. The variation pattern command "D05" whose result is "off" and the variation pattern is "05" is associated with the variation display time "10s" and the variation type "non-reach effect pattern".

Further, FIGS. 39 (A) to 39 (C) are diagrams showing an example of the effect pattern type selection table. The effect pattern type selection table is set for each variation type (effect pattern).

The special out-ball detection flag is a flag indicating that the game ball has been detected by the special out-ball sensor 384, and is set to on in step S2114 in the command determination process of FIG. 37. Here, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2208 when the special out-ball detection flag is on (step S2207: Yes), and performs the process when the special out-ball detection flag is off (step S2207: No). The process proceeds to step S2210.

<Steps S2208 and S2209>
When the special out-ball detection flag is on (step S2207: Yes), the MPU 51 adds 1 to the value of the special out-ball counter set in the RAM 512 (step S2208) and sets the special out-ball detection flag to off. (Step S2209). That is, the MPU 51 counts the number of special out balls when the special out balls that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 are retained in the game ball retention unit 38 in the open / close execution mode of the jackpot game. The number of special out balls counted in this way is referred to in order to control lighting or extinguishing of segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 in the 7-segment display unit control process of FIG. 41, which will be described later.

<Steps S2210 and S2211>
In step S2210, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the value of the down movement time counter set in step S2204. Then, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the downward movement time counter after subtraction is 0 (step S2211). That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not it is the timing to return the stopper portion 383 of the game ball retention portion 38 at the lower limit position to the upper limit position.

Whether or not it is the timing to return the stopper portion 383 to the upper limit position is whether or not the special out-ball is not detected for a certain period of time, that is, whether or not the special out-ball detection flag is continuously turned off for a predetermined number of times or more. You may judge by. If the condition is that the stopper portion 383 is returned to the upper limit position that the special out balls are not detected for a certain period of time, even if there are many special out balls, those special out balls can be accurately counted. ..

Here, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2212 when the value of the down movement time counter is 0 (step S2211: Yes), and when the value of the down movement time counter is not 0 (step S2211: No), the said The setting value suggestion processing ends.

<Steps S2212 and S2213>
When the value of the lower movement time counter is 0 (step S2211: Yes), the MPU 51 moves the stopper portion 383 of the game ball retention portion 38 upward from the lower limit position to the upper limit position (step S2212), and turns it on in step S2203. The set stopper moving down flag is set to off (step S2213). As a result, the game ball retention unit 38 is returned to a state in which the game ball 99 can be retained in the retention lane 381.

<Step S2214>
In step S2214, the MPU 51 executes a 7-segment display unit control process for controlling the on / off state of the 7-segment display unit 39. That is, the MPU 51 responds to the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device during the opening / closing execution mode of the jackpot game at the ending of the jackpot game after a lapse of a specific period for each jackpot game. Then, the 7-segment display unit control process for controlling the turning on and off of the 7-segment display unit 39 is executed. The details of the 7-segment display unit control process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 41 to 45.

<Step S2215>
In step S2215, the MPU 51 executes an ending additional image control process for displaying the additional image corresponding to the point-off state of the 7-segment display unit 39 on the symbol display unit 341 at the ending of the jackpot game. By this ending additional image control processing, it becomes possible to confirm the on-off state of the 7-segment display unit 39 also on the symbol display unit 341. The details of the 7-segment display unit control process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 46 and 47.

<Step S2216>
When the flag for moving down the stopper portion is off (step S2206: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot game effect end flag is set to on (step S2216). The jackpot game effect end flag is a flag for ending the jackpot game effect, and is set to be turned on in step S2118 in the command determination process of FIG. 37. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not it is the timing when the jackpot game effect (ending effect) is ended by the jackpot game effect end flag. Here, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2217 when the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S2216: Yes), and when the jackpot game effect end flag is off (step S2216: No), the setting is made. The value suggestion processing ends.

<Step S2217>
When the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S2216: Yes), the MPU 51 turns off the lit segments A to G on the 7-segment display unit 39 (step S2217). That is, the MPU 51 puts all the segments A to G off in the 7-segment display unit 39 when the jackpot game effect is completed. In other words, the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 can be turned on only during the ending of the jackpot game.

Here, in the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39, a game set value (non-set value) other than the game set value (set value) that defines the probability that the lottery result in the big hit lottery on the game machine 10 will be a big hit. All or part of the numbers corresponding to the set value) are displayed. Therefore, each time the jackpot game is executed, the player can obtain information for specifying or estimating a non-set value in the ending of the jackpot game. As a result, the player can specify or estimate the non-set value each time the jackpot game is executed, so that the player can enjoy the identification or estimation of the non-set value in the jackpot game. In addition, by obtaining information that can specify or estimate non-set values for each jackpot game, if the number of jackpot games increases, for example, if the number of jackpot consecutive villas increases, all (5) non-set values can be grasped. In that case, it is possible to grasp the set value. That is, since the player can grasp the set value based on the specified non-set value, the set value can be estimated in the jackpot game, so that the interest of the game is improved.

<Steps S2218 and S2219>
In step S2218, the MPU 51 sets the jackpot game effect end flag to off (step S2218). Further, the MPU 51 sets the jackpot type flag (5R probability variation jackpot flag, 16R probability variation jackpot flag or 5R normal jackpot flag) to off (step S2219), and ends the set value suggestion effect.

[7-segment display control process]
Here, FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the 7-segment display unit control process executed in step S2214 of the set value suggestion process of FIG. 40.

<Step S2301 and Step S2302>
As shown in FIG. 41, in the 7-segment display unit control process, the MPU 51 first acquires the value of the special out-ball counter stored in the RAM 512 by being added in step S2208 in the set value suggestion process of FIG. 40. (Step S2301), it is determined whether or not the value of this special out-ball counter is 1 or more (step S2302). The value of the special out ball counter is the number of special out balls that have won the variable winning opening 316 and entered the special out ball opening 373 of the crune device 37 in the jackpot opening / closing execution mode. Then, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2303 when the value of the special out-ball counter is 1 or more (step S2302: Yes), and when the value of the special out-ball counter is not 1 or more, that is, 0 (step S2302: Yes). Step S2302: No), since it is not necessary to light any of the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39, the 7-segment display unit control process is terminated.

<Steps S2303 to S2307>
In step S2303, the MPU 51 reads the segment display unit control information from the 7-segment display unit control information storage area (see FIG. 42 (A)) set in the RAM 512 of the voice lamp control device 5 (step S2303). The segment display unit control information is information necessary for controlling the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined period (a period in which the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 is accumulated). .. Then, the MPU 51 controls the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the value of the special out-ball counter acquired in step S2301 and the 7-segment display unit control information read from the 7-segment display unit control information storage area in step S2303. Is determined (step S2304), and the control of the 7-segment display unit 39 is executed based on this control content (step S2305). The details of the determination and control of the control content for the 7-segment display unit 39 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 42 to 45. Further, the MPU 51 updates the already displayed information storage area (see FIG. 42 (A)) of the 7-segment display unit control information stored in the RAM 512 (step S2306), and clears the value of the special out-ball counter. (Step S2307), the 7-segment display unit control process is terminated.

Here, FIG. 42 is a diagram for explaining a 7-segment display unit control information storage area set in the RAM 512 of the voice lamp control device 5. Specifically, FIG. 42 (A) is a diagram showing an example of a 7-segment display unit control information storage area, and FIG. 42 (B) shows an example of a control order storage area of the 7-segment display unit control information storage area. FIG. 42 (C) is a diagram showing an example (not updated) of the initial state of the already displayed information storage area of the 7-segment display unit control information storage area.

As shown in FIG. 42 (A), the 7-segment display unit control information storage area includes the control sequence storage area shown in FIG. 42 (B) and the already displayed information storage area shown in FIG. 42 (C).

As shown in FIG. 42 (B), the control sequence storage area is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 during a predetermined period (a period during which the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 is accumulated). This area stores the order of the numbers to be displayed and the control target order of the segments A to G when displaying each number. This control sequence storage area includes a number display sequence storage area and a segment control sequence storage area.

The number display order storage area is the 7-segment display unit 39 during the period from the end of the predetermined period (for example, from the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the open / close execution mode of the jackpot game for the normal jackpot). The order of the numbers to be displayed (number display order) is memorized. The number display order is the display order setting process of FIG. 35 described above based on the number display order determination table (see FIG. 36) set for the set value that defines the probability that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery will be a jackpot. Determined in. In the number display order storage area of the example shown in FIG. 42 (B), the display order A1 is set based on the number display order determination table in the case of the set value 1 in the above-mentioned number display order setting process, and 7 in a predetermined period. "2"-> "3"-> "4"-> "5"-> "6" is stored as the display order of the numbers on the segment display unit 39. That is, unless the setting is changed during the opening of the game hall, the number display order is fixed for each business day, and the number display order for the predetermined period during the same business day is fixed. .. In this way, by fixing the number display order for the predetermined period on the business day, the numbers are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in the same order each time the predetermined period is started. Numbers with an early number display order are easy to display, and numbers with a late number display order are difficult to display. For example, when the number display order is "2"-> "3"-> "4"-> "5"-> "6", the numbers are displayed in this order, so that "2" and "3" are easily displayed. On the other hand, it is difficult to display "5" and "6". This makes it possible to guess and specify the set value, prevent the set value from being easily specified, and enjoy guessing and specifying the set value. In addition, since the number display order is fixed during the business day, numbers with an early number display order are easily displayed, and numbers with a late number display order are difficult to be displayed. For example, when the set value is set low. (When the jackpot probability in the low probability mode is low), it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing the low setting with a small number of first hits. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from terminating the game on the game machine 10 during the game at an early stage, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the operating rate of the game machine 10.

Further, it is expected that the 7-segment display unit 39 displays more numbers as the number of times of the specific period in the predetermined period increases (the number of jackpot consecutive villas increases). Therefore, as the number of jackpot consecutive villas increases, the number of non-set values that can identify a plurality of non-set values other than the set values also increases. As a result, as the number of jackpot consecutive villas increases, a lot of information for specifying the non-set value can be obtained, so that the candidates for the set value can be narrowed down. Then, the player can identify all the non-set values by inserting 35 or more game balls 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in a predetermined period, and as a result, recognizes the set values. Will be possible. Therefore, the player can enjoy the progress of the game while aiming to identify all the non-set values, that is, to recognize the set values, and whether the jackpot consecutive villa will continue (the jackpot type is a probable change jackpot). You can enjoy the progress of the game by paying attention to (whether it is a big hit or a normal jackpot), and the interest of the game is improved.

The number display order is not limited to the case where the number is fixed to the one set when the power is turned on to the game machine 10 or when the setting is changed, and when the big hit game for the big hit (first hit) in the low probability mode is started. It may be decided to. In this way, the number display order is determined when the big hit game such as the first hit is started, so that the number display order is determined, for example, at predetermined period intervals. As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to guess the number display order, so that the variation in the order of the numbers corresponding to the non-set values displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to specify all the non-set values with a small number of initial hits, and it is possible to recognize the set values at an early stage. As a result, the player is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in the past for the purpose of identifying all the non-set values and recognizing the set values. You can enjoy the progress of the game while expecting that no numbers will be displayed.

On the other hand, the segment control order storage area stores the control order (segment control order) of the segments A to G when displaying numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39. The segment control order is fixed as segment A → segment B → segment C → segment D → segment E → segment F → segment G. That is, the segment control order is not determined when the power is turned on to the game machine 10, the setting is changed, the jackpot is won, or the like, but is fixed as an order peculiar to the game machine 10. In this way, by fixing the segment control order as an order peculiar to the game machine 10, the player controls the segments A to G when the numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. It becomes possible to grasp the order. As a result, the player can grasp the number to be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 even before the number is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. Therefore, the player can guess and enjoy the numbers that have never been displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the control order of the segments A to G, so that the interest of the game is improved.

Note that the segment control order is fixed within the same business day by determining it when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on or when the set value is changed, as in the number display order, while it is determined for each business day. It is also possible to do so. In this case, it becomes difficult to grasp the numbers that have never been displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, as compared with the case where the segment control order is fixed as the order peculiar to the game machine 10. This increases the difficulty of identifying all non-set values and recognizing the set values. For example, when the set values are set low (when the jackpot probability in the low probability mode is low). , It is possible to prevent the player from early recognition of the low setting. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from terminating the game on the game machine 10 during the game at an early stage.

Further, the segment control order is determined when a jackpot game for a jackpot in the low probability mode is started (when a predetermined period is started), as will be described in the third embodiment described later. May be good.

Indicates the state at the beginning of a predetermined period in which is accumulated. In the present embodiment, all the flags included in the already displayed information storage area are set when the jackpot type is 5R normal jackpot in step S2405 in the ending additional image control process of FIG. 46 described later (step S2404: Yes). That is, it is set off (cleared) when it is a normal jackpot that sets the end of a predetermined period.

Here, FIGS. 43 to 45 are diagrams showing a control example (display example) of the 7-segment display unit 39 of the 7-segment display unit control information storage area and an update example of the already displayed information storage area. Hereinafter, an example of updating the already displayed information storage area of the 7-segment display unit control information storage area will be described together with a control example (display example) of the 7-segment display unit 39 with reference to FIGS. 43 to 45.

As described above, in the 7-segment display unit control process of FIG. 41, the control content of the 7-segment display unit 39 is determined (step S2304), and the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled in the ending of the jackpot game according to the control content. (Step S2305). After that, each flag information stored in the displayed information storage area is updated (step S2306).

The control content of the 7-segment display unit 39 is the value of the special out-ball counter acquired in step S2301 of the 7-segment display unit control process of FIG. 41 (the special out-ball mouth of the croon device 37 during a specific period set for the jackpot game). It is determined according to the number of game balls 99 that have entered 373). For example, when the displayed information storage area is in the initial state (see FIG. 42 (C)) and the value of the special out-ball counter is less than 7, the seven segments A to G of the seven-segment display unit 39 Some of these segments are subject to on / off control. Specifically, for example, assuming that the value of the special out ball counter is 5 (the number of game balls 99 that entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 during a specific period is 5), the control order storage area When the content is in the state shown in FIG. 42 (B) and the displayed information storage area is in the initial state shown in FIG. 42 (C) (when all flags are set to off), the 7-segment display unit 39 The five segments A to E are controlled to be turned on and off. When the content of the control sequence storage area is in the state shown in FIG. 42 (B), since the number 2 is displayed first, the segment A is set to the lit state and the segment B is set to the lit state. The segment C is turned off, the segment D is turned on, and the segment E is turned on. Therefore, in the 7-segment display unit 39, the segments A, B, and segments shown in FIG. 43 (B) are changed from the all-off state (non-control state) in which all the segments A to G shown in FIG. 43 (A) are turned off. D and segment E are changed to the lit partial control state.

The change from the non-control state shown in FIG. 43 (A) to the partial control state shown in FIG. 43 (B) may be performed at once, or the segments A to E are sequentially controlled and the segments A to E are controlled. May be carried out step by step by turning on or off. Further, when the segments A to E are sequentially turned on or off as control targets, the segments A to E to be controlled may be blinked to clearly indicate that they are control targets. Of course, the segment to be controlled does not necessarily have to be specified.

On the other hand, when the control of the 7-segment display unit 39 is finished, the already displayed information storage area is updated. For example, when the 7-segment display unit 39 is changed from the non-control state shown in FIG. 43 (A) to the partial control state shown in FIG. 43 (B), the displayed information storage area is shown in FIG. 42 (C). The initial state in which all the flags are set to off is updated to the content shown in FIG. 43 (C). Specifically, in the display state shown in FIG. 43B, five segments A to E of the segments A to G are controlled with respect to the number 2 first displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. The segments F and G are not controlled. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 43 (C), since none of the numbers 1 to 6 is displayed in the displayed number flag information, the number 1 already displayed flag, the number 2 already displayed flag, and the number 3 already displayed flag are not displayed. , Number 4 already displayed flag, number 5 already displayed flag, and number 6 already displayed flag are all kept off. Further, in the displayed number flag information, the displayed number 2 flag for the number 2 whose five segments A to E are controlled is set to on. Further, in the already displayed segment flag information, since the segments A to E are the control targets, the segment A already targeted flag, the segment B already targeted flag, the segment C already targeted flag, and the segment D already targeted flag for the segments A to E are controlled. , And the segment E already targeted flag is set to on.

Further, when the already displayed information storage area is in the initial state (see FIG. 42C), the value of the special out-ball counter acquired in step S2301 of the 7-segment display unit control process in FIG. 41 (set to the jackpot game). When the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 during the specific period) exceeds 7, at least one number (for example, 2) is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. Specifically, for example, assuming that the value of the special out ball counter is 10 (the number of game balls 99 that entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 during a specific period is 10), the 7-segment display unit 39 In, a total of 10 segments A to G are controlled targets. That is, in the 7-segment display unit 39, the 7 (all) segments A to G are controlled to be turned on and off, so that the numbers in the first display order are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, and the second display is further displayed. With respect to the numbers in the order, the three segments A to C are controlled for the second turning on and off. Specifically, when the content of the control sequence storage area is in the state shown in FIG. 42 (B) and the displayed information storage area is in the initial state shown in FIG. 42 (C) (all flags are set to off). ), Since the number in the first display order is 2, the number 2 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, and then the number 3 is displayed. Therefore, in the 7-segment display unit 39, from the uncontrolled state in which all the segments A to G shown in FIG. 44 (A) are turned off, the segments A, B, D, E and G are shown in FIG. 44 (B). Is turned on and segments C and F are turned off, so that the 7-segment display 39 is changed to the all-segment control state in which the number 2 is displayed. Further, in the segment display 39, FIG. 44 (B) The all-segment control state in which the number 2 shown in () is displayed is changed to the partial segment control state in which the segments A to C shown in FIG. 44 (C) are controlled. In the example shown in FIG. 44 (C), since the number displayed second is 3, the segments A to C are lit.

The change from the non-control state shown in FIG. 44 (A) to the all-segment control state shown in FIG. 44 (B), and the part of the all-segment control state shown in FIG. 44 (B) shown in FIG. 44 (C). The change to the segment control state may be performed at once, or may be performed stepwise by turning on or off the segments A to G or the segments A to C in order. Further, when the segments A to G or the segments A to C are turned on or off in order, the segment to be controlled may be blinked to clearly indicate that the control is being performed. Of course, the segment to be controlled does not necessarily have to be specified.

Further, when the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled, the already displayed information storage area is updated. For example, the 7-segment display unit 39 is changed from the non-control state shown in FIG. 44 (A) to the partial segment control state shown in FIG. 44 (C) through the all-segment control state shown in FIG. 44 (B). In the case, the displayed information storage area is finally shown in the figure from the initial state in which all the flags shown in FIG. 42 (C) are set to off, through the contents shown in FIGS. 45 (A) and 45 (B). The content is updated as shown in 45 (C). Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 44 (B), all the segments A to E of the segments A to G are controlled with respect to the number 2 first displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45 (A), in the already displayed segment flag information, all the already targeted flags for the segments A to G are set to on. Then, when all the existing target flags for the segments A to G are set to on, the control for displaying the number 2 has ended. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45 (B), the displayed number flag information is a number. 2 The already displayed flag is set to on, and in the displayed number flag information, the displayed number 2 flag is set to off, while the displayed number 3 flag is set to on. After that, in the already displayed segment flag information, all the already targeted flags for the segments A to G are set to off. Further, as shown in FIG. 45 (C), in the displayed segment flag information, the segment A already-targeted flag, the segment B already-targeted flag, and the segment C already-targeted flag for the segments A to C are set to be on. That is, every time all the already-targeted flags of the already-displayed segment flag information are set to on (every time the seven segments A to G are controlled), the displayed target is displayed in the already-displayed number flag information. The displayed flag for the number is set to on, the display target flag for the number to be displayed in the displayed number flag information is set to off, while the display target flag for the next number to be displayed is turned on. Set.

As described above, the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled according to the value of the special out-ball counter acquired in step S2301 and the 7-segment display unit control information, so that the jackpot lottery in the game machine 10 can be performed. All or part of the numbers corresponding to the game set value (non-set value) other than the game set value (set value) that defines the probability that the lottery result will be a big hit are displayed. As a result, the player can specify or estimate the non-set value based on the display content on the 7-segment display unit 39, and as a result, can recognize the set value.

By the way, as the game machine, there is a game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, which has a plurality of set values having different jackpot winning probabilities in the jackpot lottery, and the game hall side can select the set value. In this case, the game hall wants to set a low set value in order to lower the expected ball output value. Then, when the set value is set low, the set value is not known to the player because the player wants to avoid stopping the game because the player recognizes that the set value is low. There is a tendency to want to be a game machine.

On the other hand, the player can guess (narrow down to a plurality of set values) or recognize the set value for the game machine having the set value in order to play the game on the game machine 10 having a higher expected value of the ball output. I hope for a good playability. As described above, the game hall and the player tend to desire conflicts with each other with respect to the game machine that suggests or clearly indicates the game setting value.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, among the game balls 99 that have won the variable winning opening 316 in a specific period from the start of the jackpot game of the first hit to the end of the open / close execution mode of the normal jackpot, the special croon device 37 The game ball (special out ball) that has entered the out ball mouth 373 is retained in the retention lane 381 of the game ball retention portion 38. Then, the number of game balls 99 (special out balls) stayed in the staying lane 381 after the lapse of a specific period is counted, and the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 are controlled by the number corresponding to the count number. To do. That is, unless at least the lottery result in the jackpot lottery becomes a jackpot and shifts to the jackpot game, the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 are neither controlled nor turned on. Therefore, the set value is not guessed or recognized unless the game is shifted to the jackpot game.

Further, it is difficult for the game ball 99 to enter the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, for example, one or two for one 16R jackpot game (about one for 10R of the round game). It is expected that the game ball 99 will enter. Therefore, it is difficult to specify or estimate the non-set value by the 7-segment display unit 39 in one big hit. On the other hand, the 7-segment display unit 39 starts the jackpot game (opening) executed when the lottery result in the low probability mode becomes a jackpot, and then ends the opening / closing execution mode in the normal jackpot game (ending). It is controlled according to the cumulative total of the game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in a predetermined period until the start). In other words, if the first hit is a probabilistic jackpot, the predetermined period will not end as long as the jackpot consecutive villa in the high probability mode continues, and the opening and closing of the normal jackpot game when the normal jackpot is won will be executed. It continues until the mode ends. That is, in the present embodiment, while the non-set value and thus the set value are not easy to recognize, the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 keeps the jackpot consecutive villa in the high probability mode. When many game balls 99 are expected to enter, the non-set value (set value) can be estimated more accurately, and 35 or more game balls 99 are entered into the special out ball mouth 373 in a predetermined period. The non-set value (set value) can be reliably specified. Therefore, in the game machine 10, the information that can estimate the set value according to the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period, that is, the number of game balls that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in the predetermined period is available. It is displayed, and since the expected value of the number of balls 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 is low in the single-shot jackpot, it has a game property in which it is difficult to guess or recognize the non-set value (set value). On the other hand, in the case of a big hit consecutive villa, it is difficult to guess or recognize the non-set value (set value) when the number of consecutive villas is small, but as the number of consecutive villas increases, a game ball to the special out ball mouth 373. Since the expected value of the number of balls entered in 99 is high, the game has a playability in which the difficulty of estimating the non-set value (set value) is reduced. That is, in the present embodiment, the set value can be estimated by specifying or estimating a part or all of the plurality of non-set values by stacking all or a part of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. is there. In this way, in the game machine 10, the set value is suppressed from being easily specified or guessed (narrowed down), so that the non-set value (set value) is more accurate by the jackpot villa while meeting the store's wishes. By making it possible to guess, it is possible to meet the wishes of the player. As a result, the game machine 10 that meets the wishes of both the store side and the player side is provided.

By the way, in a conventional slot machine, an image suggesting or clearly indicating a set value may be displayed on a display device such as a liquid crystal display device on which a game effect is executed. Images that suggest or clearly indicate the set value are displayed on, for example, the jackpot confirmation screen, jackpot start screen, jackpot end screen, start screen such as ART and AT, continuation screen, and end screen, and the content of the displayed image is determined by lottery. Will be done. Specifically, in an image display unit such as a liquid crystal display device, as a jackpot game end screen or the like, in addition to a default screen that does not suggest or specify a set value, there is a certain probability that the value is equal to or higher than a specific set value (for example, an intermediate setting). Value (set value 4 to 6 or more), high set value (for example, set value 5 or 6), odd set value (for example, set value 1, 3 or 5), even set value (for example, set value 1, 3 or 5) For example, a screen is presented that suggests or clearly indicates that the set value is 2, 4 or 6), that it is not a specific set value (for example, the negation of the set value 1), or that it is the highest set value (for example, the set value 6). ..

However, in the suggestion or explicit setting value in the conventional slot machine, the probability that the default screen that suggests or does not specify the setting value is presented is set so that the setting value is not easily specified or guessed, and the setting value is set. The probability that a suggestion or explicit screen will be presented is set low. In particular, the probability that the suggestion or clarification of the set value for the set value that is advantageous to the player or the clarification that the set value is a specific set value is executed is set low. Further, the suggestion that the set value is an odd number or an even number tends to have a low reliability, and for example, the reliability is often set to about 60%. Furthermore, in slot machines, although it may suggest or specify a high setting value, no suggestion or specification denying that it is a high setting value (for example, setting value 5 or 6) is executed, and it is particularly the highest. No suggestion or clarification is performed to deny that it is a set value (eg, set value 6). That is, in the slot machine, the presentation of information disadvantageous to the player that denies the high setting value is not executed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is set according to the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period as described above, that is, the number of game balls that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in the predetermined period. Information (non-set value) whose value can be estimated is displayed as a number on the 7-segment display unit 39. That is, by displaying the numbers of the non-set values one by one on the 7-segment display unit 39, the set values can be estimated because a part of the non-set values can be specified or estimated, and all the non-set values can be estimated. Since all the non-set values can be recognized by displaying the numbers, it is possible to specify the set values.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the number displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is fundamentally different from the suggestion or clarification of the set value at a fixed ratio as used in a game machine such as a slot machine. The set value can be recognized by specifying a plurality of non-set values based on. Further, in the present embodiment, a non-set value (set value) is clearly specified depending on the number of specific conditions (entering the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373) satisfied during the jackpot game in a predetermined period. Or, it is suggested, and in this respect as well, it is different from the conventional gaming machine in which the suggestion or clarification of the set value is executed at a constant rate. Further, in the present embodiment, as the number of jackpot consecutive villas increases, the difficulty of identifying or guessing a part or all of a plurality of non-set values decreases, and the game machine such as a conventional slot machine can be used. It is different from the suggestion or explicit setting value of.

Then, in the present embodiment, numerical information indicating a plurality of non-set values depending on the number of specific conditions (entering the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373) satisfied during the jackpot game in a predetermined period. Is presented, unlike conventional game machines, the frequency with which information for specifying the set value is presented does not decrease, and as long as the predetermined period continues (the jackpot consecutive villa continues). (As long as), since the presentation of information for identifying the non-set value (set value) is continued, it is possible to further enjoy guessing the set value, and the interest of the game is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the specific conditions are satisfied by the number of non-set values in a predetermined period, all the non-set values can be specified. In other words, regardless of whether the non-set value is high or low, all the non-set values including information disadvantageous to the player are presented to the player. As described above, in the present embodiment, unlike the case where the set value is suggested or specified in the conventional slot machine, even the information disadvantageous to the player is presented so as to deny the maximum set value or the like. As a result, the player can obtain not only advantageous information but also unfavorable information as information for specifying or estimating the set value, and therefore, the player continues the game on the game machine 10 based on the unfavorable information. It is possible to judge whether or not. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is conceivable to set so that the number display order in which the display order of the numbers corresponding to the high set value (for example, the set value 5 or more) is delayed can be easily selected. On the contrary, it is conceivable to set the number display order so that the number display order in which the display order of the numbers corresponding to the low set value (for example, the set value 2 or less) is earlier can be easily selected. In this way, the display order of the numbers corresponding to the low setting value is early, and the display order of the numbers corresponding to the high setting value is delayed, so that the higher setting value is displayed later. As a result, the player can expect the player to have a high setting value that is advantageous to the player until just before the player grasps the set value. Therefore, the non-set value is expected to be high. You can guess (set value) and enjoy it.

[Ending additional image control processing]
Here, FIG. 46 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the ending addition image control process executed in step S2215 in the set value suggestion process of FIG. 40.

<Steps S2401 to S2403>
As shown in FIG. 46, in the ending additional image control process, the MPU 51 is updated in step S2401 with various information in the already displayed information storage area updated in step S2306 of FIG. 41, that is, with the lapse of the specific period this time. The displayed number flag information, the displayed number flag information, and the displayed segment flag information are read out, and an additional image to be displayed on the symbol display unit 341 at the ending of the jackpot game is determined based on these information (step S2402). Here, the additional image is an image showing the display content of the 7-segment display unit 39, and is an image in which a non-set value can be specified or inferred (FIGS. 47 (B1), 47 (B2), and 47 (C). )reference). Then, the MPU 51 transmits an additional image display command for displaying the additional image determined in step S2402 on the symbol display unit 341 in the ending effect to the display control device 6. As a result, the symbol display unit 341 displays an additional image on the symbol display unit 341 as an ending effect.

Here, FIG. 47 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition in the ending effect of the jackpot game. Specifically, FIG. 47 (A1) is a screen example of the symbol display unit 341 in the first half of the ending in the probabilistic jackpot game, and FIG. 47 (A2) is the screen of the symbol display unit 341 in the first half of the ending in the normal jackpot game. This is an example. Further, FIGS. 47 (B1), 47 (B2), and 47 (C) are screen examples (set value suggestion screen examples) of the symbol display unit 341 in the latter half of the ending.

As shown in FIG. 47 (A1), in the ending in the probabilistic jackpot game, it is clearly shown on the symbol display unit 341 that the symbol display unit 341 shifts to the high probability mode and the high frequency support mode after the end of the probabilistic jackpot game as the first half part of the ending effect. The image to be displayed is displayed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 47 (B1), in the ending in the normal jackpot game, the symbol display unit 341 is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 as the first half part of the ending effect in the low probability mode and the low frequency support mode (time saving mode) after the end of the normal jackpot game. An image is displayed that clearly indicates the transition to. In the first half of the ending effect, in addition to the image that clearly shows the game mode that shifts after the end of the jackpot game, an image that clearly shows the number of jackpot consecutive villas and the number of balls to be played is displayed.

On the other hand, in the latter half of the ending effect of the jackpot game, the image including the additional image determined in step S2402 of the ending additional image control process of FIG. 46 is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 as a result of the crune game using the crune device 37. Is displayed. As shown in FIGS. 47 (B1), 47 (B2), and 47 (C), the additional image shows the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 until the end of one predetermined period. Includes five set value suggestion images that imitate the seven-segment display unit 39 on which numbers corresponding to non-set values can be displayed. Specifically, when the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled from the initial state shown in FIG. 43 (A) to the display state shown in FIG. 43 (B), the 7-segment display unit 39 is shown in FIG. 47 (B1). An additional image including an image imitating the display state in is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 as the latter half part of the ending effect. Further, when the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled from the initial state shown in FIG. 43 (A) to the display state shown in FIG. 44 (C) via FIG. 44 (B), it is shown in FIG. 47 (B2). An additional image including the set value suggestion image imitating the display state shown in 44 (B) and the set value suggestion image imitating the display state shown in FIG. 44 (C) is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 as the latter half part of the ending effect. Is displayed. Further, when all five numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 by the end of the predetermined period, each number is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 as shown in FIG. 47 (C). An additional image including a set value suggestion image imitating the displayed state is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 as the latter half part of the ending effect. In the example shown in FIG. 47 (C), an image showing that the numbers "2" to "6" other than the number "1" are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is displayed. In this case, it is possible to identify that the non-set value is "2" to "6", and as a result, it is possible to recognize that the set value is "1".

In this way, in the ending effect of the jackpot game, as the latter half part, the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 until the end of one predetermined period includes five setting value suggestion images that imitate the 7-segment display unit 39. It is displayed as an image. Therefore, the player can confirm the information regarding the non-set value displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 by the jackpot game at the ending of each jackpot game. As a result, when it is not possible to know that the information regarding the non-set value is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, when the display content on the 7-segment display unit 39 is overlooked, or when the past 7-segment display unit in the predetermined period is displayed. Even if the display content on the 39 is forgotten, the display content on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be recognized again. Therefore, the player can specify or estimate the non-set value in the ending and recognize or estimate the set value based on the additional image showing the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39 for each jackpot game.

As the ending effect of the jackpot game, it is a design matter whether or not to display the additional image showing the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 until the end of one predetermined period on the symbol display unit 341, and the ending effect. It is also conceivable that the additional image is not displayed on the symbol display unit 341. When the additional image is not displayed in the ending effect in this way, if there is a number displayed in the past in a predetermined period and the number is not stored or recorded, it is first displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. It becomes difficult to identify or estimate the non-set value based on the set number, and eventually to estimate or recognize the set value. That is, by not displaying the additional image in the ending effect, the difficulty of specifying or estimating the non-set value (set value) is increased, so that the set value of the game machine 10 is recognized at an early stage, and at least the set value is not high. Can be prevented from being recognized. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game of the game machine 10 from being terminated early, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the operating rate of the game machine 10.

<Step S2404>
Returning to the description of FIG. 46, in step S2404, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot type that triggered the execution of the jackpot game is a 5R normal jackpot. Whether or not the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot can be determined based on whether or not the 5R normal jackpot flag, which can be set to be on in step S2103 of FIG. 37, is on. Then, when the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot (step S2404: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2305, and when the jackpot type is not a 5R normal jackpot (step S2404: No), the ending additional image control process. To finish.

<Step S2405>
When the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot (step S2404: Yes), the MPU 51 initializes the displayed information storage area (sets all flags to off) and ends the ending additional image control process. That is, when the jackpot is a 5R normal jackpot for which the end of a predetermined period is set, the MPU 51 initializes the displayed information storage area.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the non-set value (set value) can be specified or estimated, but in order to specify the non-set value (set value) or increase the accuracy of estimation, in a predetermined period. It is necessary to insert more game balls 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, and the hurdle until the non-set value (set value) is specified is high. Therefore, the game hall has an advantage that the set value is not easily known to the player. On the other hand, the player has an advantage that the set value can be specified or estimated. In addition, it is possible to specify or estimate the set value by winning the jackpot lottery, and the accuracy of estimating the set value will be improved by the continuation of the probabilistic jackpot (big hit consecutive villa), and in some cases, the set value will be increased. It is possible to give the game machine 10 the game property of being recognizable. This makes it possible to improve the interest of the game while meeting the wishes of both the game hall and the player.

Further, when the jackpot game is started, the game is not ended in the middle of the jackpot game unless there are special circumstances, and the game is not ended in the high probability mode in the high probability mode. Therefore, since the predetermined period is the period from the start of the jackpot game of the first hit to the end of the open / close execution mode of the normal jackpot, it is prevented that the player ends the game before the predetermined period ends. As a result, even when a player who does not know the timing (the end of a predetermined period) at which the non-set value (set value) can be specified or can be estimated proceeds with the game, the non-set value (set value) is specified or It is prevented from ending the game just before it becomes possible to guess. Therefore, even a player who cannot know the timing at which the non-set value (set value) can be specified or can be guessed can guess or recognize the non-set value (set value). In addition, it is possible to eliminate the so-called hyena act of another player who plays the game aiming at the timing when the non-set value (set value) can be specified or guessed.

In addition, since the start of the predetermined period is the start time of the jackpot game triggered by the jackpot winning in the low probability mode of the first hit, the non-set value (set value) can be specified or estimated at least once. Not only is the jackpot winning condition a condition, but even if a predetermined period is started, the hurdle to identify the non-set value (set value) is high as described above, so the non-set value (set value) A considerable number of game balls 99 are fired at the game board 31 until a considerable number of game balls 99 are guessed or specified, and a considerable number of jackpot lottery is received. Therefore, at the stage where the set value can be estimated or specified with high accuracy, it is highly possible that the number of unit jackpot lottery (easiness of receiving the jackpot lottery) has reached a stage where it can be sufficiently determined. As a result, when the player can infer or specify the non-set value (set value) with high accuracy, the player is playing the game machine 10 including not only the non-set value (set value) but also the number of unit jackpot lottery. Since it is possible to determine the ball ejection performance of the ball, it is possible to determine whether to continue the game. For example, even when the set value is low, if the number of unit jackpot lottery is large, it is possible to determine that the game will be continued in consideration of the overall situation. On the other hand, even when the set value is high, if the number of unit jackpot lottery is small, it is possible to determine that the continuation of the game is abandoned in consideration of the overall consideration.

Further, in the game machine 10, information for specifying or estimating a non-set value is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, and the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39 in a predetermined period is a symbol in the ending of the jackpot game. It is displayed on the display unit 341. Therefore, the player can confirm the information regarding the non-set value displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 by the jackpot game at the ending of each jackpot game. As a result, when it is not possible to know that the information regarding the non-set value is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, when the display content on the 7-segment display unit 39 is overlooked, or when the past 7-segment display unit in the predetermined period is displayed. Even if the display content on the 39 is forgotten, the display content on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be recognized again. Therefore, for each jackpot game, the player specifies or estimates the non-set value in the ending based on the additional image showing the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39, and recognizes or estimates the set value to proceed with the game. You can enjoy it.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39 in the predetermined period is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 at the ending of the jackpot game, but the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39 in the predetermined period is the same. After the end of the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set is completed, the display may be displayed on a display unit such as the symbol display unit 341. That is, the display history in a predetermined period may be displayable in a special period other than the specified period. For example, in the standby state in which neither the variable game nor the jackpot game is executed, the player performs a predetermined operation on the game machine 10 to display the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 for a predetermined period on the display unit such as the symbol display unit 341. It is conceivable to display. In this way, by displaying the display history in the predetermined period on the 7-segment display unit 39 on the symbol display unit 341 or the like after the end of the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set, the past 7-segment display It becomes possible to confirm when the display contents in the part 39 are forgotten. This makes it possible to specify or estimate the non-set value based on the display content on the past 7-segment display unit 39. The display of the display history on the symbol display unit 341 or the like in the standby state or the like will be described in detail in the fourth embodiment described later.

In this way, when the display history can be displayed on the symbol display unit 341 or the like in the standby state or the like, it is possible to check the display contents on the past 7-segment display unit 39 when the display contents are forgotten. There are advantages. On the other hand, if the display history can be displayed on the symbol display unit 341 or the like in the standby state or the like, anyone can check the display history by performing a predetermined operation on the empty game machine 10. Can be done. That is, it becomes possible to specify or infer a non-set value (set value) by taking advantage of the privilege obtained by another person, and so-called hyena act is allowed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is not allowed to confirm the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39 in the predetermined period after the end of the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. That is, the display of the specific information indicating the non-set value including the display history in the predetermined period is restricted to the period other than the specified period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the hyena act of specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value) by piggybacking on the privilege obtained by another person.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the first hit is a probabilistic jackpot, a predetermined period is set from the start of the first hit jackpot game to the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot in the high probability mode. The predetermined period may be set one by one for each jackpot regardless of the jackpot type. That is, a predetermined period may be set for each big hit game regardless of the first hit or the consecutive villa hit. In this case, the start time of the jackpot game or the open / close execution mode is started, and the end time of the jackpot game or the open / close execution mode is the end of the predetermined period.

Further, in the present embodiment, the corresponding number of the non-set value is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, instead of or in addition to displaying the number corresponding to the non-set value, the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit. In the case of, the number or alphabet corresponding to the non-set value is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363, and the non-set value is clearly indicated on the symbol display unit 341. The reach effect may be performed. As a non-set value explicit reach effect, when the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit, for example, it is conceivable to stop and display the decorative symbol with the number of the solo eye corresponding to the non-set value. In this way, when the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit, the number corresponding to the non-set value is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363, and the symbol display unit 341 does not. By executing the non-set value explicit reach effect that clearly indicates the set value, not only whether or not the lottery result in the big hit lottery in the variable game is a big hit, but also the player can see the first special symbol display unit 362 in the variable game. Alternatively, the variable game can be enjoyed by paying attention to the numbers stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display unit 363 and paying attention to the combination of the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the symbol display unit 341. In addition, when the non-set value explicit reach effect is executed as one of the reach effects, the numbers are not aligned with doublet in the reach of the decorative pattern of the number corresponding to the set value, and are stopped and displayed as doublet. It is also possible. For example, when the set value is 1, the decorative symbol can be stopped and displayed at "222", "333", "444", "555", and "666", but is not stopped and displayed at "111", and the decorative symbol is not displayed. If is 1, the reach will always be off. In this way, it is usually desirable that the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed with the numbers of the solo eyes because the doublets of the numbers corresponding to the set values are not stopped and displayed. Since it is also desirable that the display is not stopped when getting doublet, it is possible to enjoy the reach effect from a different point of view than before.

Further, the display of numbers and the like corresponding to the non-set values on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363, or the non-set value explicit reach effect can be executed only at a specific timing. Is also possible. In this way, by displaying numbers and the like corresponding to the non-set values on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363 only at a specific timing, or by executing the non-set value explicit reach effect. You can enjoy the game by focusing on the variable game that is executed at a specific timing.

As a specific timing, for example, in a variable game executed in a probabilistic game state or a time-saving game state, a lottery result in a jackpot lottery is performed on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363 and the symbol display unit 341. The timing of notifying that is a big hit can be considered. By clearly indicating or suggesting a non-set value in the variable game in the probabilistic game state or the time-saving game state in this way, the hold is consumed at high speed by the high-frequency support mode, and the probabilistic game state or the time-saving game state that tends to be monotonous. You can enjoy the variable game at. It is also conceivable to set the specific timing when the number of variable games executed after the transition to the probabilistic game state or the time-saving game state is within the predetermined number of times range. For example, the predetermined number of times range is when the number of variable games executed after the transition to the probabilistic game state is small (for example, 1 to 10 times) or when the number of times is large (for example, 100 times or more, 150 times or more, 200 times or more, etc. ) Can be set. That is, the non-set value may be specified or suggested when the jackpot is reached early after the transition to the probabilistic gaming state, or when the variable game count is large until the jackpot is reached. In this case, the non-set value is specified or suggested as a privilege for the early jackpot from the end of the jackpot game or as a relief for Hamari. In addition, the predetermined number of times range is when the number of variable games executed after the transition to the time-saving game state is small (for example, 1 to 10 times), or when the time-saving game state is about to end (for example, 90 to 100 times). It is possible to set it. In this case, a non-set value is specified or suggested as a privilege for the jackpot from the end of the jackpot game to the early jackpot or the jackpot just before the end of the time saving game.

[Other Embodiments]
Hereinafter, other embodiments of the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention will be described. Further, in the following other embodiments, the description of the same configuration as that of the game machine 10 described in the first embodiment described above and the same steps as the processing procedure will be omitted. It is also possible to select and arbitrarily combine each configuration and each processing function of the above-mentioned first embodiment and the following other embodiments.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, for each jackpot game executed in a predetermined period (the period from the start of the jackpot game for the first jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening / closing execution mode in the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot). A specific period (the period from the start of the jackpot game to the end of the open / close execution mode) is set, and the number of balls that satisfy the specific conditions (the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 within the specific period). In the ending of the jackpot game in which the specific period is set based on (number of), all or part of the specific information (numbers) corresponding to each of the plurality of non-set values (set values) is the 7-segment display unit 39. The case presented in was explained.

By the way, when a specific period is set for each jackpot game executed in a predetermined period as in the first embodiment described above, in the jackpot consecutive villa, a plurality of specific periods corresponding to the number of consecutive villas are predetermined. Set within the period. Therefore, in the jackpot Renso, all or part of the specific information corresponding to the non-set value (set value) is presented to the 7-segment display unit 39 for each ending of the jackpot game. That is, in the jackpot Renso, all or part of the specific information is presented in a plurality of times. However, when all or part of the specific information is presented to the 7-segment display unit 39 for each ending of the jackpot game, that is, when all or part of the specific information is presented in a plurality of times, it is executed first. If the specific information presented at the ending of the jackpot game is not stored or recorded, it is possible to specify the non-set value (set value) based on the specific information presented at the ending of the jackpot game executed earlier. It becomes difficult. That is, when the 7-segment display unit 39 does not accurately store or record the specific information presented in the past, it is difficult to effectively identify or estimate the non-set value (set value). Therefore, in order to effectively identify or estimate the non-set value (set value), it is troublesome to accurately store or record the specific information presented in the 7-segment display unit 39 in the past, and as a result, It is also assumed that the player gives up specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value). In this case, the significance of improving the interest of the game is buried by being able to specify or guess the non-set value (set value).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment described above, a specific period is not set in the predetermined period, and one for one predetermined period based on the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period. Only once, specific information for identifying or inferring a non-set value (set value) is presented. As described above, in the present embodiment, specific information for specifying or estimating a non-set value (set value) only once for each predetermined period based on the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period. Is presented. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the inconvenience when the specific information is presented in a plurality of times in a predetermined period as in the first embodiment described above is eliminated. That is, in the present embodiment, since the specific information is presented only once after the end of the predetermined period for one predetermined period, there is no specific information presented in the past in the predetermined period, and the player There is no specific information to remember or record. As a result, the player can specify or estimate the non-set value (set value) by paying attention to the specific information presented only once for one predetermined period. You will be freed from the hassle of accurately storing or recording specific information. Therefore, the player can easily and effectively identify or estimate the non-set value (set value), so that the player can enjoy the game while specifying or estimating the non-set value (set value). The interest is improved.

In one example of the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment described above, the predetermined period is the period from the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening / closing execution mode of the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot. , A specific condition is that the game ball is inserted into the special out ball mouth of the crune device. Further, in an example of the present embodiment, the specific information is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 as in the first embodiment described above, but the display timing (specified period) of the specific information is set to one predetermined period. On the other hand, it is only the ending (after the end of the predetermined period) in the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. That is, the specific information is presented to the 7-segment display unit 39 only once after the end of the predetermined period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, some steps of the set value suggestion process, the 7-segment display unit control process, and the ending addition image control process are different from those of the above-described first embodiment.

Here, FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the set value suggestion process executed by the voice lamp control device 5 of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 49 is executed by the set value suggestion process of FIG. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the procedure of 7-segment display part control processing, and FIG. 50 is the flowchart which shows an example of the procedure of the ending addition image control processing executed in the setting value suggestion processing of FIG. 48. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 to 50, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment described above.

[Set value suggestion processing]
As shown in FIG. 48, in the set value suggestion process in the present embodiment, when the ending of the jackpot game is started (step S2201: Yes), the set value suggestion process in the first embodiment described above (FIG. 40). (See), on condition that the jackpot game is a 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of a predetermined period is set (step S2501: Yes), the game ball entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37. A process of controlling the vertical movement of the stopper portion 383 of the game ball retention portion 38 that accepts 99 and counting the number of game balls 99 retained in the game ball retention portion 38 in a predetermined period is executed (steps S2202 to S2213). .. As a result, in the present embodiment, when the predetermined period ends, in the 5R normal jackpot where the end of the predetermined period is set, the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 during the predetermined period. The number of is counted once.

Further, in the set value suggestion process of the present embodiment, on condition that the 5R normal jackpot game is performed (step S2501: Yes), the vertical movement of the stopper portion 383 of the game ball retention portion 38 is controlled, and the game ball stays in the predetermined period. By executing the process of counting the number of game balls 99 retained in the unit 38 (steps S2202 to S2213), the 7-segment display unit control process (step S2502) and the ending additional image control process (step S2503) are also performed. , Is executed on the condition that it is a 5R normal jackpot game (step S2203) based on the stopper part lowering moving flag set on the condition that it is a 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of a predetermined period is set (step S2203). S2501: Yes).

[7-segment display control process]
The 7-segment display unit control process in the present embodiment is executed when the ending is started in the 5R normal jackpot game as described above (when the opening / closing execution mode (predetermined period) ends). Further, as shown in FIG. 49, the 7-segment display unit control process in the present embodiment is basically the same as the 7-segment display unit control process (see FIG. 41) in the first embodiment described above. When the value of the special out-ball counter is 1 or more (step S2302: Yes), instead of reading the control order of the 7-segment display unit control information and the already displayed information (see FIG. 42), the 7-segment display unit control Reading only the control order of information is executed (step S2504). That is, in the 7-segment display unit control process of the present embodiment, the 7-segment display unit is displayed only at the ending of the 5R normal jackpot (after the end of the predetermined period) in which the end of the predetermined period is set for one predetermined period. Since 39 is controlled (presentation of specific information), it is not necessary to read the already displayed information and control the 7-segment display unit 39.

[Ending additional image control processing]
As shown in FIG. 50, the ending additional image control process in the present embodiment is basically the same as the ending additional image control process (see FIG. 46) of the first embodiment described above, but the first one described above. Step S2404 for the ending additional image control process in the embodiment is omitted. That is, since the ending additional image control process of the present embodiment is executed when the 5R normal jackpot is executed (Yes in step S2501 of the set value suggestion process in FIG. 48), until it is determined that the 5R normal jackpot is achieved. In step S2405, the display information storage area is initialized.

As described above, in the present embodiment, based on the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period, the specific information (number) corresponding to the non-set value (set value) is used only once for each predetermined period. ) Are presented in whole or in part. Therefore, there is no specific information presented in the past during the predetermined period, and there is no specific information that the player should memorize or record. As a result, the player can specify or estimate the non-set value (set value) by paying attention to the specific information presented only once for one predetermined period. You will be freed from the hassle of accurately storing or recording specific information. Therefore, the player can easily and effectively identify or estimate the non-set value (set value), so that the player can enjoy the game while specifying or estimating the non-set value (set value). The interest is improved.

In the present embodiment, the same design changes as those in the above-mentioned first embodiment can be made to the extent applicable.

[Third Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, a plurality of non-set values (set values) are specified or estimated after the elapse of the specific period (ending of the jackpot game) based on the number of times the specific conditions are satisfied in the specific period. The case where all or a part of the specific information (numbers) for the purpose is presented on the 7-segment display unit 39 has been described. Further, in the first embodiment described above, in the 7-segment display unit 39, the numbers corresponding to the non-set values as specific information are determined in the number display order when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on or when the set values are changed. The case where the display is performed according to (see FIG. 36) has been described. Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the number display order when the numbers are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is fixed has been described.

By the way, in the first embodiment described above, a plurality of numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values as specific information are displayed in a number display order (FIG. 36) determined when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on or when the set value is changed. When displayed in (see), the numbers are displayed in the same order unless the power of the game machine 10 is turned off or the set value is changed, and each number is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39. The control order of segments A to G is fixed. Therefore, when the number of specific conditions satisfied in a predetermined period is less than the number of specific conditions satisfied in the preceding predetermined period, less information can be obtained than the specific information already presented. No new specific information can be obtained. As a result, when it is expected that the number of specific conditions to be satisfied in a predetermined number of times is small, for example, a jackpot game for a single jackpot, whether or not the specific conditions are satisfied in a specific period, or the specific conditions to be satisfied. There is concern that interest in the specific information presented after the lapse of a specific period will decrease.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the order of presenting specific information (number display order and segment display order) is determined (changed). In this way, by determining the order in which specific information is presented when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period is larger than the number of specific conditions satisfied in the preceding predetermined period. There is a possibility that new specific information can be obtained even if the amount is small. Therefore, even when it is expected that the number of specific conditions satisfied in a predetermined number of times is small, such as a jackpot game for a single jackpot, whether or not the specific conditions are satisfied in a specific period is satisfied. It is possible to be interested in the number of specific conditions and also in the specific information presented after the lapse of a specific period. As a result, it is possible to more effectively improve the interest of the game by presenting specific information that can specify or guess the non-set value (set value) according to the number of satisfied specific conditions. Become.

The predetermined conditions for determining (changing) the order in which the specific information is presented include, for example, winning a jackpot, opening a jackpot game, opening / closing execution mode, or starting the ending of a jackpot game. Can be considered. By setting the predetermined conditions in this way, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) each time the jackpot game is executed. Therefore, since the presentation order of the specific information is prevented from being fixed, it is possible to prevent the same specific information from being repeatedly presented and the presentation of the specific information from being monotonous. As a result, it is expected that new information will be obtained as specific information each time the jackpot game is executed. As a result, for example, it is possible to make people interested in the presentation order of specific information in the jackpot game, so that it is possible to improve the interest in the jackpot game.

In addition, as predetermined conditions, winning a specific jackpot (for example, a probability variation jackpot, a normal jackpot, or a jackpot in a low probability mode), a specific jackpot game (for example, a probability variation jackpot, a normal jackpot, or a jackpot in a low probability mode) It is conceivable that the opening of the jackpot game), the opening / closing execution mode, or the ending of the jackpot game will be started. By setting the predetermined conditions in this way, the number of times that the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) is reduced as compared with the case where the predetermined conditions are not limited to the specific jackpot or jackpot game. Therefore, by reducing the possibility that new information is presented with respect to the specific information presented in advance, the difficulty of identifying all the non-set values (identifying the set values) is increased. , It is possible to prevent all non-set values from being specified at an early stage (set values are specified). Thereby, for example, when the set value is low, it is possible to prevent the player from terminating the game on the game machine 10 during the game at an early stage.

Further, as a predetermined condition, it is conceivable that a predetermined period or a specific period starts or ends. By setting the predetermined conditions in this way, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) for each predetermined period or for each specific period. Therefore, it is expected that new information will be obtained as specific information every predetermined period or every specific period. As a result, it is possible to make people interested in the order in which specific information is presented, so that it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

Further, as a predetermined condition, it is conceivable that a specific effect is determined or executed as a variable game effect. The specific effect in this case may be set to, for example, either a non-reach effect or a reach effect. Typically, the specific effect includes a premier effect in which a jackpot or a probabilistic jackpot is determined among the variable game effects. Further, as a specific effect, it is conceivable that the decorative symbols are stopped or temporarily stopped (intermediate stop display) in a specific combination on the symbol display unit 341. For example, when the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at "777" on the symbol display unit 341, when it is stopped and displayed at a specific reach deviation such as "767", it is stopped and displayed at a specific non-reach deviation such as "367". Temporary stop display (intermediate stop) that clearly indicates that the development effect will be executed when the development effect such as super reach effect or special reach effect is executed as the reach effect, in addition to the case where the stop display is displayed at (separate eyes). Display) is possible. As a temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) that clearly indicates that the development effect is executed, for example, as in "7 development 7", the left and right decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the reach state (intermediate stop display), and the middle stop display is displayed. It is conceivable that a symbol that clearly indicates that a development effect such as "development" will be executed is temporarily stopped and displayed. Even when the predetermined conditions are set in this way, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) for each predetermined period or for each specific period. Therefore, it is expected that new information will be obtained as specific information every predetermined period or every specific period. As a result, it is possible to make people interested in the order in which specific information is presented, so that it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

Further, as a predetermined condition, it is conceivable that the single-shot jackpot is consecutive a plurality of times, the presentation order of the same specific information is continuous a plurality of times, and the like. By setting the predetermined conditions in this way, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) when it is difficult to obtain new information as the specific information. Therefore, since it becomes easy to obtain new information as specific information, it is possible to reduce the feeling of boredom when new specific information cannot be obtained, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

If the predetermined conditions are satisfied by the start of the predetermined period, for example, the presentation order of the specific information determined (changed) with respect to the predetermined conditions to be satisfied first may be prioritized, and finally. The presentation order of specific information determined (changed) for a predetermined condition to be satisfied may be prioritized.

In one example of the present embodiment, a plurality of non-settings as specific information are performed on the condition that the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode is started (the predetermined period is started, the first jackpot game is started). The display order of the numbers corresponding to each of the values and the segment display order when displaying each number are determined, and the end of the predetermined period is set according to these display orders. After the lapse of time), all or part of the numbers for specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39.

Here, FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the display order setting process executed by the voice lamp control device 5 of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 52 is the procedure of the display order setting process of FIG. 51. It is a figure which shows an example of the table referred to in. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 51 and 52, focusing on the display order setting process, which is a difference from the first embodiment described above.

[Display order setting process]
<Step S2601>
As shown in FIG. 51, in the display order setting process in the present embodiment, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot game effect start flag is set to ON (step S2601). The jackpot game effect start flag is a flag indicating that the jackpot game effect is started, and is set to ON in step S2108 of the command determination process of FIG. 37. Then, when the jackpot game effect start flag is on (step S2601: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2602, and when the jackpot game effect start flag is off (step S2601: No), the display order is concerned. End the setting process.

<Step S2602>
When the jackpot game effect start flag is on (step S2601: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot that triggered the start of the jackpot game effect is a jackpot in the low probability mode (step S2602). ). That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot is the first hit and the predetermined period is started. Whether or not the jackpot is in the low-probability mode is determined by, for example, whether the jackpot that triggered the start of the jackpot game when the jackpot game is started is in the low-probability mode or in the high-probability mode. When the jackpot game start command is included in the jackpot game start command and the jackpot game start command is transmitted from the main control device 4 to the voice lamp control device 5, the command determination process of FIG. 37 is based on the probability mode information. It can be determined by setting a flag indicating that it is a big hit in the low probability mode to on or off and confirming the flag with the MPU 51. The probability mode information may be set as a command different from the jackpot game start command.

Then, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2603 when the jackpot is in the low probability mode (step S2602: Yes), that is, when the jackpot is the first hit (the jackpot which is the start of a predetermined period). On the other hand, the MPU 51 ends the display order setting process when it is not a big hit in the low probability mode (step S2602: No), that is, when it is a big hit in the high probability mode (step S2602: No).

<Steps S2603 to S2605>
In the case of a big hit in the low probability mode (step S2602: Yes), the MPU 51 acquires the set value from the RAM 512 (step S2603), and further, the display order of the numbers corresponding to the plurality of non-set values on the 7-segment display unit 39. (Step S2604), the control order of the segments A to G for each number is set (step S2605), and the display order setting process is completed.

Here, the display order of the numbers corresponding to the plurality of non-set values on the 7-segment display unit 39 is the same as in step S2015 (see FIG. 35) of the display order setting process in the first embodiment described above. It is determined based on the number display order determination table shown in. Further, the display order of the determined numbers is stored in the RAM 512.

Further, the control order of the segments A to G for each number is determined based on the control order determination table of the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 shown in FIG. 52. In this control order determination table, a plurality of control orders of segments A to G are defined by the values of the control order type counters updated in step S2001 of the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 35, and each control order is determined. The probabilities are set the same. Then, the control order of the segments A to G is determined from a plurality of control orders in the same order for each number by the value of the control order type counter when the control order of the segments A to G for each number is set. To. Further, the determined control order of the segments A to G is stored in the RAM 512.

In the present embodiment, when the numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, the segments A to G are all controlled in the same order as the numbers, but the control order of each number. May be different. That is, the control order of the segments A to G may be individually determined for each of a plurality of numbers corresponding to the non-set values.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the order in which the numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is determined for each predetermined period. As a result, the order in which specific information is presented when a predetermined condition is satisfied is determined, so that the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period is larger than the number of specific conditions satisfied in the preceding predetermined period. There is a possibility that new specific information can be obtained even if the amount is small. Therefore, even when it is expected that the number of specific conditions satisfied in a predetermined number of times is small, such as a jackpot game for a single jackpot, whether or not the specific conditions are satisfied in a specific period is satisfied. It is possible to be interested in the number of specific conditions and also in the specific information presented after the lapse of a specific period. As a result, it becomes possible to more effectively improve the interest of the game by presenting specific information according to the number of non-set values (set values) that can be specified or inferred and specific conditions are satisfied. ..

In the present embodiment, the same design changes as those in the above-mentioned first and second embodiments can be made within the applicable range.

[Fourth Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, based on the number of times the specific condition is satisfied in the specific period, after the lapse of the specific period (ending of the jackpot game), the specific information (numbers) corresponding to the plurality of non-set values The case where all or a part of the characters are presented to the 7-segment display unit 39 and the presentation of the specific information on the 7-segment display unit 39 ends with the end of the jackpot game has been described. That is, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, all or a part of the specific information is displayed in a predetermined predetermined period (after the lapse of the specific period).

By the way, when the player misses or forgets to present the specific information in the specified period, the player identifies or infers a plurality of non-set values in consideration of the specific information displayed in the past. It is assumed that you would like to reconfirm the information. In addition, when a player is replaced, it is assumed that the player after the replacement wishes to confirm the specific information displayed in the past. However, when the specific information is presented in the specified period, the specific information cannot be reconfirmed because the specific information is not presented outside the specified period.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to present all or part of the specific information presented in the past in a special period other than the specified period. In this way, by being able to present the specific information presented in the past in a special period other than the specified period, the player can confirm the specific information presented in the past in the special period. That is, the player can reconfirm the specific information displayed in the past when he / she misses or forgets to present the specific information in the specified period, and the game after the change when the player is changed. The person can confirm the specific information presented to the player in the past. As a result, the player can specify or infer a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of the specific information presented to the past player, so that the non-set values (set values) can be set. Convenience for identifying or guessing is improved.

Here, as the special period, for example, a period of a waiting state (customer waiting state) in which neither the variable game nor the jackpot game is executed can be mentioned. By setting the special period to the standby state in this way, it is possible to confirm the specific information presented in the past in the state where the game is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent various effects executed by the symbol display unit 341 or the like as the game progresses, for example, the visual recognition of the variable game effect or the jackpot game effect is hindered.

In addition, when it is possible to present all or part of the specific information presented in the past during the standby state, a predetermined input such as a password input operation or a command input operation is performed on the specific display screen that can be transferred in the standby state. It is also conceivable that the operation is performed. The password and the command may be made available by displaying them on the symbol display unit 341 at the ending or the like in the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. In addition, passwords and commands are externally displayed by displaying a matrix-type two-dimensional code or the like on the symbol display unit 341 in the jackpot game and reading the matrix-type two-dimensional code or the like using a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or mobile phone. It may be possible to enter by so-called mobile interlocking, which is transmitted from the server to the mobile terminal.

In this way, it is possible to present all or part of the specific information presented in the past during the standby state on condition that a predetermined input operation such as a password input operation or a command input operation is performed. Only the player who can enter the password, command, etc., that is, only the player who is presented with all or part of the specific information confirms all or part of the specific information presented in the past during the standby state. Becomes possible. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the so-called hyena act or free riding in which all or part of the past specific information is confirmed by another player.

In addition, by reading a matrix-type two-dimensional code or the like using a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or mobile phone on a specific display screen that can be transferred in the standby state, all or part of the specific information presented to the mobile terminal in the past. It is also conceivable to have them present.

It is also conceivable to set the special period during the jackpot game, for example, during the opening, during the opening / closing execution mode, and during the ending. By setting the special period during the jackpot game in this way, the past specific information is presented in a state where the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is not explicitly or suggested. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the explicit or suggestion of the result in the jackpot lottery from being hindered by the presentation of specific information. In addition, since the jackpot game is executed after clearly indicating that the result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot by the variable game, the player's interest tends to decrease, but it has been presented in the past in such a jackpot game. By presenting the specific information, the interest in the jackpot game is improved.

It is also conceivable to set the special period during the variable game. Here, in the total time during which the game is executed (the time obtained by subtracting the standby time from the time when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on), the theoretical value is that the variable game is compared with the execution time of the jackpot variable game. Execution time is longer. Therefore, since it is possible to present the past specific information during the variable game, it is possible to set many timings at which the past specific information can be presented. However, when the special period is set during the variable game, for a certain period before the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, in the non-reach state where the reach effect is not executed as the variable game effect or when the variable time is short, It is preferable to limit the presentation of specific information. As a result, it is possible to prevent the visual recognition or suggestion of the lottery result in the jackpot lottery by the stop display of the decorative symbol from being hindered.

Further, the presentation of the past specific information in the special period may be performed at a timing determined by the game machine 10, or may be executed at the player's will.

When the past specific information is presented at the timing determined by the game machine 10, it is possible to have the player present the past specific information at a timing unexpected by the player. Therefore, it is possible to impart unexpected game playability to the game machine 10. Further, since the past specific information is presented at the timing determined by the game machine 10 without the player performing any operation on the game machine 10, even a player who has little knowledge about the game machine 10 , It becomes possible to know the specific information presented in the past. This ensures fairness among the players.

Here, as an example of the case where the past specific information is presented at the timing determined by the game machine 10, for example, presenting the specific information presented in the past as a demonstration screen in the standby state, a variable game When a specific reach effect is scheduled to be executed in, a certain percentage (including 100%) of presenting specific information presented in the past before the reach effect is executed, a variable game, or For example, it is decided to present the specific information presented in the past by a lottery executed at a specific timing of the jackpot game. When the specific information presented in the past is presented as the demonstration screen in the standby state, the player considers the past specific information presented on the demonstration screen and executes the game from the empty platform. Since 10 can be selected, the degree of freedom and convenience when selecting the game machine 10 to execute the game is improved. In addition, when a specific reach effect is scheduled to be executed in a variable game and the specific information presented in the past is presented before the reach effect is executed, the past specific information is presented. Since it plays a role as a pre-notification effect for the execution of a specific reach effect, the interest in variable games is improved. In addition, the presentation of the past specific information in the variable game is expected to suggest the degree of expectation (reliability) when the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a big hit (including the definite effect indicating that it is a big hit). It is also conceivable to execute it as a chance-up effect to improve the degree of expectation (reliability). In this case as well, the interest in variable games is improved. Further, when the specific information presented in the past is presented by the lottery executed at the specific timing of the variable game or the jackpot game, the past specific information is presented at a random specific timing determined by the game machine 10. Therefore, it is possible to give a special surprise to the game. In addition, when the player can know the specific timing at which the specific information is presented, the player can enjoy the progress of the game by paying attention to whether the specific information is presented at the specific timing. Is improved.

On the other hand, when the presentation of the past specific information in the special period is executed by the player's intention, the special information is not passively waited for the past specific information to be presented at the timing determined by the game machine 10. During the period, the player can positively confirm the specific information in the past at his / her favorite timing. Therefore, when a plurality of non-set values (set values) are specified or estimated in consideration of the past specific information, the player's intention is reflected without being restricted by the game machine 10 regarding the timing of presenting the past specific information. Therefore, convenience is improved.

Here, as an example in which the presentation of the past specific information in the special period is executed by the player's intention, the operation button 20 is operated by the player in the special period set during the standby state, the variable game, and the jackpot game. It is possible to present specific information presented in the past when a predetermined operation for the above is performed.

In one example of the present embodiment, all or part of the specific information (numbers) corresponding to the plurality of non-set values displayed by the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending (specified period) of the jackpot game is displayed, and the player is in the standby state. By performing a predetermined operation on the operation button 20 or the selection determination unit 21 during the period (special period), all or part of the specific information (numbers) displayed at the ending of the last three jackpot games can be obtained. It is displayed on the symbol display unit 341. In one example of the present embodiment, it is possible to display all or part of the specific information displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in the past on the symbol display unit 341 without performing an input operation such as a password or a command. Is.

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 53 to 63, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment described above.

Here, FIG. 53 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 54 is a block diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the game machine shown in FIG. 53.

As shown in FIG. 53, the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment further includes a selection determination unit 21 provided on the front frame 11.

The selection determination unit 21 is operated by the player, and is a push button that accepts the player's pressing operation in the standby state described later and shifts the display screen (see FIG. 60) on the symbol display unit 341. The selection determination unit 21 includes a plurality of selection buttons 21A and a determination button 21B.

The plurality of selection buttons 21A are operated by the player in order to temporarily select a desired item from the options (items) on various screens such as the top menu screen in the standby state screen transition process of FIGS. 61 and 62, which will be described later. (See FIG. 60), which includes an up selection button 211, a down selection button 212, a left selection button 213 and a right selection button 214. Here, the provisional selection means that the contents of the provisional selection are confirmed (stored in the RAM 512) by operating the enter button 21B. As shown in FIG. 54, each of these selection buttons 211 to 214 has an upper selection operation switch 211a, a lower selection operation switch 211b, a left selection operation switch 211c, and a right selection operation switch for switching an input signal to the voice lamp control device 5. It includes 211d. These switches 211a to 211d are connected to the input / output I / F of the voice lamp control device 5. Therefore, the voice lamp control device 5 can determine whether or not the operation for each of the selection buttons 211 to 214 has been performed based on the input signals of the switches 211a to 211d.

Further, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the operation for each selection button 211-214 has been started, it is determined that the operation for each selection button 211-214 has been performed. Of course, when it is detected that the operation for each selection button 211-214 is continued or the operation is completed, it may be determined that the operation for each selection button 211-214 has been performed. ..

On the other hand, the decision button 21B is operated by the player to determine the tentatively selected item. Further, the decision button 21B includes a decision operation switch 21Ba for switching an input signal to the voice lamp control device 5 described later. The determination operation switch 21Ba is connected to the input / output I / F of the voice lamp control device 5. Therefore, the voice lamp control device 5 can determine whether or not the operation for the determination operation switch 21Ba has been performed based on the input signal of the determination operation switch 21Ba.

Further, instead of the plurality of selection buttons 21A (121 to 214) and the decision button 21B, it is conceivable that a touch panel that displays a touch key and accepts a player's operation on the touch key is provided as an operation means. Further, instead of the plurality of selection buttons 21A (121 to 214) and the decision button 21B, it is conceivable to provide a translucent touch panel on the front side of the symbol display unit 341 to receive the operation of the player. It is also conceivable to provide a jog dial instead of the plurality of selection buttons 21A (211-214). Further, the selection switches 211a to 211d and the determination operation switch 21Ba are contact type switches and the like, but may be, for example, a piezoelectric element or the like as long as they can be used to detect the presence or absence of operation by the player. ..

Here, FIG. 55 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the sub-timer interrupt processing executed by the voice lamp control device 5 of the game machine 10 shown in FIG. 53.

As shown in FIG. 55, in the sub-timer interrupt process of the present embodiment, in addition to the process (steps S2000 to S2005) similar to the sub-timer interrupt process of the first embodiment described above, the operation detection process ( Step S2701) and the standby state screen transition process (step S2702) are executed.

[Operation detection process]
The operation detection process is a process for detecting whether or not an operation has been performed on the various buttons 20, 21A, and 21B. Here, FIG. 56 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the operation detection process executed in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 55.

As shown in FIG. 56, in the operation detection process, the MPU 41 performs an operation button operation detection process (step S2801), an operation detection pattern determination process (step S2802), a selection button operation detection process (step S2803), and a selection operation detection pattern determination. The process (step S2804), the decision button operation detection process (step S2805), and the decision operation detection pattern determination process (step S2806) are executed.

[Operation button operation detection process]
In the operation button operation detection process (step S2201 of the operation detection process), the operation state of the operation button 20 is detected, and a process for sequentially updating the operation history for the past three times is executed. In the game machine 10, the operation button operation detection process is executed by the MPU 41, so that the operation button 20 is operated at a predetermined interval (1 msec interval in this embodiment) corresponding to the interrupt cycle of the sub-timer interrupt process. It will be judged whether or not there is. Here, FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the operation button operation detection process. Hereinafter, the operation button operation detection process will be described with reference to FIG. 57.

<Steps S2901 to S2903>
As shown in FIG. 57, in step S2901, the MPU 41 shifts (overwrites) the setting of the second detection flag to the first detection flag. Further, in step S2902, the MPU 41 shifts (overwrites) the setting of the third detection flag to the second detection flag. After that, in step S2903, the MPU 41 sets (overwrites) the operation state of the operation button 20 detected by the operation switch 20a in the third detection flag, and the operation detection process ends.

As described above, in the operation button operation detection process, the processes of steps S2901 to S2903 are executed, so that the operation history of the operation button 20 includes the operation states of the most recent three times at 1 msec intervals from the first detection flag to the third detection. It is stored in the RAM 512 as a flag. Specifically, the latest operation state is stored as the third detection flag, the previous operation state is stored as the second detection flag, and the previous operation state is stored as the first detection flag.

[Operation detection pattern judgment processing]
Returning to the description of FIG. 57, in the operation detection pattern determination process of step S2802 in the operation detection process, the operation of the operation button 20 determined based on the first operation detection flag, the second operation detection flag, and the third operation detection flag. An operation pattern flag for determining the operation state for the operation button 20 from the history is set. The operation pattern flag includes the first to third operation pattern flags, and the operation state of the operation button 20 can be determined by the combination of turning on and off the first to third operation pattern flags. For example, when only the first operation pattern flag is set to ON, it can be determined that the operation for the operation button 20 is continued (see FIG. 38 (A)). Further, when only the second operation pattern flag is set to ON, it can be determined that the operation for the operation button 20 has started (see FIG. 38 (A)). Further, when only the third operation pattern flag is set to ON, it can be determined that the operation for the operation button 20 is completed (see FIG. 38 (A)). Then, when all of the first to third operation pattern flags are set to off, it can be determined that the operation button 20 has not been operated (see FIG. 38 (A)). Here, FIG. 58 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the operation detection pattern determination process. Further, FIG. 59 (A) is a table showing the relationship between the detection pattern for the operation button 20 and the operation status. Hereinafter, the operation button operation detection process will be described with reference to FIGS. 58 and 59 (A).

<Step S3001>
As shown in FIG. 58, in step S3001, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the first operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the operation button 20 three times before is set to ON. Here, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3002 when the first operation detection flag is on (step S3001: Yes), and performs the process when the first operation detection flag is off (step S3001: No). The process proceeds to step S3005.

<Step S3002>
In step S3002, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the second operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the operation button 20 two times before is set to ON. Here, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3003 when the second operation detection flag is on (step S3002: Yes), and performs the process when the second operation detection flag is off (step S3002: No). The process proceeds to step S3008.

<Step S3003>
In step S3003, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the third operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the latest operation button 20 is set to ON. Here, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3004 when the third operation detection flag is on (step S3003: Yes), and performs the process when the third operation detection flag is off (step S3003: No). The process proceeds to step S3010.

<Step S3004>
In step S3004, the MPU 41 sets the first operation pattern flag on, the second operation pattern flag and the third operation pattern flag off, and ends the operation detection pattern determination process. That is, the MPU 41 sets the first operation pattern flag to ON when the operation patterns of "ON", "ON", and "ON" occur as the operation states for the operation buttons 20 three times, and the second operation pattern. The flag and the third operation pattern flag are set to off (see FIG. 59 (A)). Then, the first operation pattern flag can be used as an index for determining whether or not the operation state of the operation button 20 is continuing. For example, when the first operation pattern flag is set to ON, the MPU 41 may set the operation button operation continuation command in the RAM 412 and transmit the operation button operation continuation command to the voice lamp control device 5. .. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 can determine that the operation for the operation button 20 is continuing, so that the operation button 20 is continuously operated based on the number of times the operation button operation continuation command is continuously transmitted. I can grasp the time. Therefore, the voice lamp control device 5 can determine whether or not the operation button 20 has been long-pressed based on the time during which the operation button 20 is continuously operated. Therefore, the operation button effect based on the long-press operation is produced. Can be executed.

<Step S3005>
When the MPU 41 determines in step S3001 that the first operation detection flag is not on (step S3001: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the second operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the operation button 20 two times before is on. Determine (step S3005). Here, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3006 when the second operation detection flag is on (step S3005: Yes), and performs the process when the second operation detection flag is off (step S3005: No). The process proceeds to step S3010.

<Step S3006>
In step S3006, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the third operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the most recent operation button 20 is on. Here, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3007 when the third operation detection flag is on (step S3006: Yes), and performs the process when the third operation detection flag is off (step S3006: No). The process proceeds to step S3010.

<Step S3007>
In step S3007, the MPU 41 sets the second operation pattern flag on and the first operation pattern flag and the third operation pattern flag off. That is, the MPU 41 sets the second operation pattern flag to ON when the operation patterns of "OFF", "ON", and "ON" occur as the operation states for the operation buttons 20 three times, and the first operation pattern. The flag and the third operation pattern flag are set to off (see FIG. 59 (A)), and the operation detection pattern determination process ends. Then, the second operation pattern flag is used as an index for determining whether or not the operation button 20 has changed from the non-operation state to the operation state (whether or not the operation of the operation button 20 has been started). In this way, if it is determined whether or not the operation button 20 has changed from the non-operation state to the operation state by using the second operation pattern flag, the operation state for three times of the operation button 20 is reflected. Alternatively, erroneous detection of the operation start of the operation button 20 due to noise such as static electricity is prevented, and the operation start of the operation button 20 is prevented from being reflected in the effect display at a timing not intended by the player.

<Step S3008>
When the MPU 41 determines in step S3002 that the second operation detection flag is not on (step S3002: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the third operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the latest operation button 20 is on. (Step S3008). Here, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3010 when the third operation detection flag is on (step S3008: Yes), and performs the process when the second operation detection flag is off (step S3008: No). The process proceeds to step S3009.

<Step S3009>
In step S3009, the MPU 41 sets the third operation pattern flag on, the first operation pattern flag and the second operation pattern flag off, and ends the operation detection pattern determination process. That is, the MPU 41 sets the third operation pattern flag to ON when the operation patterns of "ON", "OFF", and "OFF" are generated as the operation states for the operation buttons 20 three times, and the first operation pattern. The flag and the second operation pattern flag are set to off (see FIG. 59 (A)). Then, the third operation pattern flag can be used as an index for determining whether or not the operation button 20 has changed from the operation state to the non-operation state (whether or not the operation of the operation button 20 has been completed). it can.

<Step S3010>
In step S3010, the MPU 41 sets the first operation pattern flag, the second operation pattern flag, and the third operation pattern flag to off, and ends the operation detection pattern determination process. That is, the MPU 41 turns off all the first to third operation pattern flags when an operation pattern other than the above such as "OFF", "OFF", and "OFF" occurs as the operation state for three operation buttons 20. (See FIG. 59 (A)). The MPU 41 determines that the operation button 20 is in a non-operation state when all of the first to third operation pattern flags are off.

[Select button operation detection process]
Returning to the description of FIG. 56, in the selection button operation detection process (step S2803), the MPU 41 executes the upper selection button operation process, the lower selection button operation process, the left selection button operation process, and the right selection button operation process.

<Upper selection button operation processing>
In the upper selection button operation process, the MPU 41 detects the operation state of the upper selection button 211 and executes a process for sequentially updating the operation history for the past three times. Here, since the upper selection button operation processing is the same as the operation button operation detection processing of FIG. 57, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the upper selection button operation processing, the "operation detection flag" may be read as the "upper selection operation detection flag" in each step of the operation button operation detection processing of FIG. 57.

<Down selection button operation processing>
In the lower selection button operation process, the MPU 41 detects the operation state of the lower selection button 212 and executes a process for sequentially updating the operation history for the past three times. Here, since the lower selection button operation processing is the same as the operation button operation detection processing of FIG. 57, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the lower selection button operation processing, the "operation detection flag" may be read as the "lower selection operation detection flag" in each step of the operation button operation detection processing of FIG. 57.

<Left selection button operation processing>
In the left selection button operation process, the MPU 41 detects the operation state of the left selection button 213 and executes a process for sequentially updating the operation history for the past three times. Here, since the left selection button operation process is the same as the operation button operation detection process of FIG. 57, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the left selection button operation processing, the "operation detection flag" may be read as the "left selection operation detection flag" in each step of the operation button operation detection processing of FIG. 57.

<Right selection button operation processing>
In the right selection button operation process, the MPU 41 detects the operation state of the right selection button 214 and executes a process for sequentially updating the operation history for the past three times. Here, since the right selection button operation process is the same as the operation button operation detection process of FIG. 57, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the right selection button operation processing, the “operation detection flag” may be read as the “right selection operation detection flag” in each step of the operation button operation detection processing of FIG. 57.

[Selection operation detection pattern judgment processing]
In the selection operation detection pattern determination process (step S2804), the MPU 41 executes the upper selection operation detection pattern determination process, the lower selection operation detection pattern determination process, the left selection operation detection pattern determination process, and the right selection operation detection pattern determination process.

<Top selection operation detection pattern judgment processing>
In the upper selection operation detection pattern determination process, the MPU 41 is above the operation history of the upper selection button 211 determined based on the first upper selection operation detection flag, the second upper selection operation detection flag, and the third upper selection operation detection flag. The upper operation pattern flag for determining the operation state for the selection button 211 is set. Here, since the upper selection operation detection pattern determination process is the same as the operation detection pattern determination process of FIG. 58, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the upper selection operation detection pattern determination process, in each step of the operation detection pattern determination process of FIG. 58, the "operation detection flag" is set to "upper selection operation detection flag" and the "operation pattern flag" is set to "upper selection operation pattern". It should be read as "flag".

Here, as shown in FIG. 59 (B), in the upper selection operation detection pattern determination process, the MPU 41 has an operation pattern of "ON", "ON", and "ON" as the operation state for three times of the upper selection button 211.

[Standby screen transition process]
Returning to the description of FIG. 55, in the standby state screen transition process executed in 2702 of the sub-timer interrupt process, the operation button 20, the selection button 21A, or the determination button 20 is executed in the standby state in which neither the variable game nor the jackpot game is executed. In response to the operation of the button 21B, a process of shifting the screen of the symbol display unit 341 and enabling the player to make various selections and settings is executed. Here, FIG. 60 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition in the symbol display unit 341 in the standby state.

As shown in FIG. 60, when the change display of the decorative symbol is stopped, the change of the decorative symbol is stopped when the number of holds N and the number of holds M are "0" and the game does not shift to the jackpot game state. The state fluctuation stop screen is maintained. Then, when the operation button 20 is operated by the player after the variable stop screen is displayed, the display screen is changed from the variable stop screen to the top menu screen. This top menu screen includes a plurality of screen transition images and cursor images.

The plurality of screen transition images are images for selecting the display screen of the migration destination, and include a plurality of selectable items (display screen of the migration destination). Multiple screen transition images are displayed as "7-segment display unit history". 7-segment display unit history selection screen transition image for transitioning to the 7-segment display unit history selection screen, character selection displayed as "character selection". Character selection screen transition image for transitioning to the screen, character customization screen transition image for transitioning to the character customization screen displayed as "Character customization", and variable stop screen for transitioning to the variable stop screen displayed as "Back" Includes a variable stop screen transition image.

The cursor image is an image showing which of the plurality of selectable items is currently temporarily selected, and the item corresponding to the screen transition image on the right side of the cursor image among the plurality of screen transition images is This is a tentatively selected item. In the example shown in FIG. 60, it is shown that the "7-segment display section history" is tentatively selected. Further, the screen transition image corresponding to the temporarily selected item among the plurality of screen transition images is displayed in a manner distinguishable from other screen transition images in order to emphasize that the screen transition image is temporarily selected. .. The temporary selection item can be changed by operating the upper selection button 211 or the lower selection button 212.

On the top menu screen, the temporarily selected item (transition destination display screen) is determined by operating the enter button 21B, and the screen is shifted to the display screen corresponding to the item. For example, when the enter button 21B is operated when the 7-segment display section history selection screen transition image of "7-segment display section history" is selected by the player, the display screen changes from the top menu screen to the 7-segment display section history selection screen. Will be migrated to.

The 7-segment display unit history selection screen is a screen that can be shifted to a history screen in which the contents of the specific information displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 are displayed for a predetermined period. This history screen shows the display contents on the 7-segment display unit 39 for any of the most recent three predetermined periods, and the one-time previous history screen in which the contents of specific information for the previous predetermined period are displayed. Includes a two-time previous history screen in which the content of specific information for a predetermined period two times before is displayed, and a three-time previous history screen in which the content of specific information for a predetermined period three times before is displayed. Each history screen is a history image having the same form as the additional image (see FIGS. 47 (B1), 47 (B2), and 47 (C)) displayed on the symbol display unit 341 in the latter half part of the ending of the jackpot game. including. The history image shows the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 until the end of one predetermined period, and five settings imitating the 7-segment display unit 39 in which numbers corresponding to non-set values can be displayed. Includes value suggestion images. In the example shown in FIG. 60, the number 2 is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 due to the entry of the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in the predetermined period one time before, and then the segments A to A to It shows that C has a history of being lit.

In addition, the 7-segment display section history selection screen is a one-time previous history screen for shifting to a cursor image indicating that it is temporarily selected and a one-time previous history screen displaying "History 1 (one time ago)". Transition image, "History 2 (2 times before)" is displayed 2 times before History screen for transition to the history screen 2 times before History screen Transition image, "History 3 (3 times before)" is displayed 3 times before Includes a three-time previous history screen transition image for transitioning to the history screen, and a fluctuation stop screen transition image for transitioning to the variable stop screen displayed as "finished". Then, on the 7-segment display unit history selection screen, the temporarily selected item (transition destination display screen) is determined by operating the decision button 21B, and the screen is shifted to the display screen corresponding to the item. For example, if the enter button 21B is operated when the previous history screen transition image of "History 1 (1 time ago)" is temporarily selected by the player, the display screen is changed from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to 1. Moves to the previous history screen. Further, when "History 2 (2 times before)" is selected, the 7-segment display section history selection screen is shifted to the 2 times previous history screen, and when "History 3 (3 times before)" is selected. Is transferred from the 7-segment display history selection screen to the previous history screen three times. When "End" is selected, the 7-segment display section history selection screen is displayed on the top menu screen.

In this way, it is possible to shift from the 7-segment display unit history selection screen to any of the one-time previous history screen, the two-time previous history screen, and the three-time previous history screen by the player's selection. That is, the player can confirm the history information desired by himself / herself by shifting to the history screen desired by himself / herself. As a result, the history can be effectively confirmed while avoiding the confirmation of the history information such as the previously confirmed information and the information with a small amount of information, so that the history can be confirmed efficiently.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information for specifying the non-set value in the ending of the jackpot game is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, which is different from the symbol display unit 341 in which the decorative symbol is variably displayed. Therefore, even when the information for specifying the non-set value is displayed, the visual recognition of the image effect executed by the symbol display unit 341 is not hindered. On the other hand, in the standby state, the history information having the same content as the information displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 different from the 7-segment display unit 39. Here, in general, since the symbol display unit 341 has a large display area, the visibility of the history information is improved by displaying the history information on the symbol display unit 341. In addition, the symbol display unit 341 may be used to perform various settings such as effects and characters executed in the game machine 10. Therefore, if the display content on the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending is displayed on the symbol display unit 341, the history information can be confirmed by the same operation as the operation for making various settings. Therefore, the convenience of the work of confirming the history information is improved.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to shift from a plurality of history screens to a history screen selected by the player, but it is also conceivable to display a plurality of history information on one screen at the same time. In this case, since many histories can be confirmed at once, the presented contents can be efficiently confirmed in this case as well.

In addition, on the top menu screen, when the character screen transition image of "Character selection" is selected, the display screen is shifted to the character selection screen, and when the character customization screen transition image of "Character customization" is selected, it is displayed. The screen shifts to the character customization screen. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to select a character that appears in a variable game effect or the like, and it is possible to customize the costume, accessories, hairstyle, and the like of the character.

When the "return" variable stop screen transition image is selected on the top menu screen, the display screen is shifted to the variable stop screen.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 for the most recent three predetermined periods is confirmed by operating the selection determination unit 21 (selection button 21A and determination button 21B) in the standby state. Can be done. Therefore, the player can reconfirm the past display contents of the 7-segment display unit 39 when he / she misses or forgets the display contents of the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending of the jackpot game. When the player is replaced, the player after the replacement can check the display contents of the past 7-segment display unit 39. As a result, the player can specify or estimate a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of the display contents of the past 7-segment display unit 39, so that the non-set values (set values) can be set. The convenience for identifying or guessing is improved.

Here, FIGS. 61 and 62 are flowcharts showing an example of the procedure of the standby state screen transition process executed in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 55.

When the one-time previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3112: Yes), the MPU 51 executes the one-time previous history screen process and ends the standby state screen transition process. In the one-time previous history screen processing, when "return" is selected, the display screen is shifted from the one-time previous history screen to the 7-segment display section history selection screen. At this time, the MPU 51 sets the 7-segment history selection screen flag to on while setting the previous history screen flag to off.

<Step S3114>
When the one-time previous history screen flag is set to off (step S3112: No), is the MPU 51 set to the two-time previous history screen flag indicating that the display screen is the two-time previous history screen? It is determined whether or not (step S3114). The 2nd previous history screen flag is set to on when the display screen is transferred from the 7-segment display unit history selection screen to the 2nd previous history screen in step S3215 of the 7-segment history selection screen processing of FIG. 63, which will be described later. The flag. Then, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3115 when the two-time previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3114: Yes), and when the two-time previous history screen flag is set to off (step S3114: Yes). S3114: No), the process proceeds to step S3116.

<Step S3115>
When the two-time previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3114: Yes), the MPU 51 executes the two-time previous history screen process and ends the standby state screen transition process. In the 2nd previous history screen processing, when "Back" is selected, the display screen is shifted from the 2nd previous history screen to the 7-segment display section history selection screen. At this time, the MPU 51 sets the 7-segment history selection screen flag to on while setting the previous history screen flag to off twice.

<Step S3116>
When the 2 times previous history screen flag is set to off (step S3114: No), is the MPU 51 set to turn on the 3 times previous history screen flag indicating that the display screen is the 3 times previous history screen? It is determined whether or not (step S3116). The 6-time previous history screen flag is set to on when the display screen is transferred from the 7-segment display unit history selection screen to the 3 times previous history screen in step S3217 of the 7-segment history selection screen processing of FIG. 63, which will be described later. The flag. Then, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3117 when the 3 times previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3116: Yes), and when the 3 times previous history screen flag is set to off (step S3116: Yes). S3116: No), the process proceeds to step S3118.

<Step S3117>
When the 3 times previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3116: Yes), the MPU 51 executes the 3 times previous history screen process and ends the standby state screen transition process. In the 3 times previous history screen processing, when "return" is selected, the display screen is shifted from the 3 times previous history screen to the 7-segment display section history selection screen. At this time, the MPU 51 sets the 7-segment history selection screen flag on while setting the 3 times previous history screen flag off.

<Steps S3118 and S3119>
When the history screen flag three times ago is set to off (step S3116: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not another screen flag (character selection screen flag or character customization screen flag) is set to on. (Step S3118). The other screen flags are set to on when the display screen is transferred from the top menu screen to another screen in the top menu screen processing in step S3109. When the other screen flag is set to on (step S3118: Yes), the corresponding other screen process of the other screen is executed (step S3119), and the standby state screen transition process is terminated. On the other hand, when the other screen flag is set to off (step S3118: No), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3120.

<Step S3120>
When the other screen flags are set to off (step S3118: No), the MPU 51 sets the variable stop screen flag to on (step S3120) and ends the standby state screen transition process. That is, when the MPU 51 is in the standby state, if all the screen flags are also off, the MPU 51 is shifted from the variable game state or the jackpot game state to the standby state, and it can be determined that the display screen is the variable stop screen. Set the stop screen flag on.

[7-segment history selection screen processing]
In the 7-segment history selection screen process executed in step S3111 of the standby state screen transition process, the display screen is displayed on the 7-segment display unit history in response to the operation of the player on the selection determination unit 21 (selection button 21A and determination button 21B). A process of shifting from the selection screen to the fluctuation stop screen, the 1-time previous history screen, the 2-time previous history screen, or the 3-time previous history screen is executed (see FIG. 60). Here, FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the 7-segment history selection screen processing executed in the standby state screen transition processing of FIG. 62.

<Step S3201>
As shown in FIG. 63, in the 7-segment history selection screen processing, the MPU 51 first determines whether or not the second upper selection pattern flag is set to ON (step S3201). The second upper selection pattern flag is a flag indicating that the operation for the upper selection button 211 has started, and the upper selection operation detection executed in the selection operation detection pattern determination process in step S2804 in the operation detection process of FIG. 56. It is set to on in the pattern judgment process. The MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3202 when the second upper selection pattern flag is set to on (step S3201: Yes), and when the second upper selection pattern flag is set to off (step S3201:). No), the process proceeds to step S3203.

<Step S3202>
When the second upper selection pattern flag is set to on (step S3201: Yes), the MPU 51 performs a process of changing the temporarily selected item (temporary selection display) on the 7-segment display unit history selection screen to the upper side. Execute. For example, if "History 2 (2 times before)" is temporarily selected before the 2nd upper selection pattern flag is set to ON, the temporary selection display is changed to "History 1 (1 time ago)". (See FIG. 60). If "History 1 (1 time ago)" displayed on the uppermost side of the option images is temporarily selected and an operation is performed on the upper selection button 211, the temporary selection display should not be changed. Alternatively, the temporary selection display may be changed to "end" displayed at the bottom of the option images (see FIG. 60).

<Step S3203>
When the second upper selection pattern flag is set to off (step S3201: No), that is, when the operation for the upper selection button 211 has not been started, the MPU 51 has the second lower selection pattern flag set to on. Whether or not it is determined (step S3203). The second lower selection pattern flag is a flag indicating that the operation for the lower selection button 212 has started, and the lower selection operation detection executed in the selection operation detection pattern determination process in step S2804 in the operation detection process of FIG. 56. It is set to on in the pattern judgment process. The MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3204 when the second lower selection pattern flag is set to on (step S3203: Yes), and when the second lower selection pattern flag is set to off (step S3203: Yes). No), the process proceeds to step S3205.

<Step S3204>
When the second lower selection pattern flag is set to on (step S3203: Yes), the MPU 51 is a process of changing the temporarily selected item (temporary selection display) on the 7-segment display unit history selection screen to the lower side. To execute. For example, if "History 2 (2 times before)" is temporarily selected before the 2nd upper selection pattern flag is set to ON, the temporary selection display is changed to "History 3 (3 times before)". (See FIG. 60). If the operation for the lower selection button 212 is performed when "End" displayed at the bottom of the option images is temporarily selected, the temporary selection display may not be changed, or the options may be selected. The temporary selection display may be changed to "History 1 (1 time ago)" displayed on the uppermost side of the image (see FIG. 60).

<Step S3205>
When the second lower selection pattern flag is set to off (step S3203: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the second determination operation pattern flag is set to on (step S3205). The second determination operation pattern flag is a flag indicating that the operation for the determination button 21B has been started, and is set to ON in the determination button operation detection pattern determination process executed in step S2806 in the operation detection process of FIG. 56. The flag. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the operation for the decision button 21B has been performed when the display screen is the 7-segment display unit history selection screen. Then, when the second determination operation pattern flag is set to ON (step S3205: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3206, and when the second determination operation pattern flag is set to OFF (step S3205: Yes). S3205: No), the standby state screen transition process is terminated.

<Steps S3206 and S3207>
When the second decision operation pattern flag is set to on (step S3205: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the 7-segment history screen flag to off (step S3206), and temporarily selects when the decision button 21B is operated. It is determined whether or not the item that has been set is "finished" (step S3207). The MPU 51 temporarily shifts the process to step S3208 when the item temporarily selected when the decision button 21B is operated is "end" (step S3207: Yes), and temporarily selects the item when the decision button 21B is operated. If the selected item is not "finished" (step S3207: No), the process proceeds to step S3210.

<Steps S3208 and S3209>
When the item temporarily selected when the enter button 21B is operated is "end" (step S3207: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the display screen from the 7-segment display unit history selection screen to the variable stop screen. (Step S3208) (see FIG. 60). Then, the MPU 51 sets the variable stop screen flag indicating that the display screen is the variable stop screen to on (step S3209), and ends the standby state screen transition process.

<Step S3210>
When the item tentatively selected when the enter button 21B is operated is not "finished" (step S3207: No), the item tentatively selected in MPU51 is "history 1 (one time ago)". Whether or not it is determined (step S3210). In the MPU 51, when the temporarily selected item is "History 1 (1 time before)" (step S3210: Yes), the process shifts to step S3211, and the temporarily selected item is "History 1 (1 time)". If it is not "previous)" (step S3210: No), the process proceeds to step S3213.

<Steps S3211 and S3212>
When the temporarily selected item is "History 1 (1 time ago)" (step S3210: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the display screen from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to the 1 time previous history screen (step). S3211) (see FIG. 60), the previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3212), and the 7-segment history selection screen process is terminated.

<Step S3213>
When the item temporarily selected when the enter button 21B is operated is not "History 1 (1 time ago)" (step S3210: No), the item temporarily selected in MPU51 is "History 2 (2)". It is determined whether or not it is (step S3213). When the tentatively selected item is "History 2 (2 times before)" (step S3213: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3214, and the tentatively selected item is "History 2 (2 times before)". If it is not "previous)" (step S3213: No), the process proceeds to step S3216.

<Steps S3214 and S3215>
When the temporarily selected item is "History 2 (2 times before)" (step S3213: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the display screen from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to the 2 times previous history screen (step). S3214) (see FIG. 60), the previous history screen flag is set to on (step S3215), and the 7-segment history selection screen process is terminated.

<Steps S3216 and S3217>
When the item temporarily selected when the enter button 21B is operated is not "History 2 (two times before)" (step S3213: No), the item temporarily selected in MPU51 is "History 3 (3)". Since it can be determined that it is "previous times)", the display screen is shifted from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to the 3 times previous history screen (step S3216) (see FIG. (Step S3217), the 7-segment history selection screen process is terminated.

In this way, in the 7-segment history screen executed in the standby state, the display screen is changed from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to any of the 1-time previous history screen, the 2-time previous history screen, and the 3-time previous history screen. Corresponds to each of the plurality of non-set values displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 according to the number of game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 for the predetermined period for the past three times. All or part of the specific information can be confirmed (see FIG. 60). Therefore, the player can reconfirm the past display contents of the 7-segment display unit 39 when he / she misses or forgets the display contents of the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending of the jackpot game. When the player is replaced, the player after the replacement can check the display contents of the past 7-segment display unit 39. As a result, the player can specify or estimate a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of the display contents of the past 7-segment display unit 39, so that the non-set values (set values) can be set. The convenience for identifying or guessing is improved.

In particular, in the standby state, the display screen is the history screen (one-time previous history screen) unless the player intentionally performs a screen transition operation unless the variable game is executed by launching the game ball 99. There is no transition to other screens such as the fluctuation stop screen from (2, 2 times previous history screen and 3 times previous history screen). Therefore, the player stops launching the game ball 99 and maintains the standby state without being subject to time restrictions such as when specific information is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 at the ending of the jackpot game. By doing so, it is possible to carefully and carefully take time to check the specific information displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in the past at one's own pace. As a result, the player can consider at his / her own pace when specifying or guessing a plurality of non-set values (set values) based on the past specific information, so that the plurality of non-set values (set values) can be considered. Convenience for specifying or guessing the set value) is improved.

In the present embodiment, the past specific information on the 7-segment display unit 39, which can be displayed on the symbol display unit 341 by the player's operation (will) in the standby state, is the past three times for a predetermined period. However, there is no limit to the number of past specific information that can be displayed. That is, it may be possible to confirm specific information for a predetermined period of one time, two times, or four times or more in the past.

Further, the display of the past specific information is not limited to the symbol display unit 341, and may be performed by other display means as long as it has a display function. For example, the past specific information may be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, or may be separately provided for displaying a display unit different from the symbol display unit 341 or the 7-segment display unit 39, for example, past specific information. It may be a display unit. Further, if there is a display unit provided for executing a part of the effect such as the variable game effect in addition to the symbol display unit 341, the past information may be displayed on the display unit. Conceivable.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same design changes as those in the above-mentioned first to third embodiments can be made within the applicable range.

[Fifth Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, each of the plurality of non-set values (set values) corresponds to each of the plurality of non-set values (set values) after the elapse of the specific period (ending of the jackpot game) based on the number of times the specific conditions are satisfied in the specific period. The case where all or a part of the specific information is presented to the 7-segment display unit 39 and the presentation of the specific information on the 7-segment display unit 39 ends with the end of the jackpot game has been described. That is, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, each time the specific period set in the predetermined period elapses, the specific information is displayed in the specified period set after the elapse of the specific period.

By the way, when displaying numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values on the 7-segment display unit 39, all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 are controlled targets, so that the numbers (non-set values) are displayed. (Set value) can be specified. Further, the numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be grasped before all the segments A to G are controlled. For example, when segments A to G are controlled in the order of segment A → segment B → segment C → segment D → segment E → segment F → segment G, the first control target, segment A, is turned off. The candidates for the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 are "1" and "4". Then, when the sixth control target segment F is turned on, it can be recognized as "4", and when the segment F is turned off, it can be recognized as "1". That is, the numbers "1" or "4" can be recognized at the stage when the sixth control target, the segment F, before all the segments A to G are the control targets, is the control target. Further, when the segment A, which is the first control target, is turned on, the numerical candidates displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 are "2", "3", "5", and "6". Then, when the second control target segment B is turned on, it can be determined that it is either "2" or "3", and when the segment B is turned off, "5" and "" It can be determined that it is one of 6 ”. Further, when the third control target segment C is turned on, it can be recognized as "3", and when the segment C is turned off, it can be recognized as "2". That is, the numbers "2" or "3" can be recognized at the stage when the third control target, the segment C, before all the segments A to G are the control targets, is the control target. Further, when the fifth control target segment E is turned on, it can be recognized as “6”, and when the segment E is turned off, it can be recognized as “5”. That is, the number "5" or "6" can be recognized at the stage when the fifth control target, the segment E, before all the segments A to G are the control targets, is the control target. That is, the numbers "2" and "3" can be recognized at the stage when the third control target segment C is turned on or off, and the numbers "5" and "6" are the fifth control target segments. The numbers "1" and "4" can be recognized when E is turned on or off, and the numbers "1" and "4" can be recognized when the sixth control target segment F is turned on or off.

However, in the first embodiment described above, the segments A to G are controlled in order to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G have been controlled. Therefore, even if the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be recognized before all the segments A to G are controlled, the next display must be performed after all the segments A to G are controlled. Control of segments A to G for displaying the target number is not started. Therefore, even if the player recognizes the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 before all the segments A to G are controlled, the display of the numbers to be displayed next is started. Up to, the information is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 in order to identify the numbers already recognized by the player. That is, when the segments A to G are controlled to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G are controlled, the information unnecessary for the player is the 7-segment display unit 39. In the period when such unnecessary information is displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39, there is a concern that interest in the game may decrease.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, since the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled at the ending of the jackpot game every time a specific period set for the jackpot game elapses, it corresponds to each of a plurality of non-set values. All or part of the numbers (specific information) to be displayed are dispensed every time a specific period elapses. Therefore, if a number corresponding to any of the non-set values is displayed in the specific period that has passed earlier, it is assumed that the number is forgotten. In this case, it becomes difficult to specify or estimate the set value from a plurality of non-set values.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the non-set value display means (lamp display unit) having a plurality of information display units (six individual lamp units) having a number of non-set values (5) or more, each information display unit. Information (number) that identifies the non-set value is displayed. Each information display unit has two modes, a display state in which specific information is presented (lighting state) and a non-display state in which specific information is not presented (light-off state). The non-set value can be specified by the specific information displayed on the information display unit. By setting the information display unit to either of the two modes of the display state and the non-display state in this way, the non-set value can be specified by the specific information presented to the information display unit in the display state. That is, in the present embodiment, only the information that can specify the non-set value is displayed as the specific information, and the information that can guess the non-set value is not displayed. Therefore, after the specific information that can identify one non-setting value is presented, the specific information for estimating the non-setting value is not unnecessarily presented, so that the unnecessary specific information is presented. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game.

The non-set value display means is not particularly limited, but for example, a display device having a plurality of lamp groups capable of turning on and off individually, a display device having a plurality of 7-segment display units, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and dots. Matrix display, plasma display and the like can be mentioned. Further, as the non-set value display means, it is conceivable to use a display means in which the decorative pattern is displayed in a variable manner.

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of information display units corresponding to the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period is displayed, and at least a specific period is reached until the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set ends. The information display unit that was previously displayed is displayed. For example, an information display unit that has been in the display state in the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is also in the display state in the specific period after the predetermined period. In this way, the information display unit that has been in the display state in the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is also in the display state in the specific period after the predetermined period, so that at least in the specific period at any time in the predetermined period. But you can check it. Therefore, the specific information displayed in the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is not forgotten, and it is convenient when specifying a plurality of non-set values based on the specific information, and by extension, when specifying or estimating the set value. Sex is improved.

In addition, the information display unit which is in the display state in the specific period may be maintained in the display state at all times until the end of the jackpot game in which the predetermined period and the end of the predetermined period are set, and only during the jackpot game. The display state may be maintained, or the display state may be maintained only for a specific period.

In an example of the present embodiment, in a lamp display unit having six individual lamp units with any number from 1 to 6, a game ball is inserted into a special out ball mouth of the crune device during a specific period. By winning the lamp lighting lottery that is executed as a result of this, there is no need to wait for the passage of a specific period, and when the lamp lighting lottery is won, the individual lamp section with the number corresponding to the non-set value is attached. It is lit. Then, in the predetermined period in which the specific period is set, the lighting state is maintained until the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set ends.

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 64 to 71, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment described above. It should be noted that FIGS. 69 to 71 are views showing a modification of the present embodiment.

Here, FIG. 64 is a front view showing an example of the game board 31 of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 65 is a block diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the game machine 10 shown in FIG. 64.

A lamp display unit 35 is provided on the game board 31 instead of the 7-segment display unit 39 in the embodiment.

The special out ball discharging unit 38A discharges the game ball 99 inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 to the back side of the game board 31. The special out ball discharging portion 38A has a configuration in which the stopper portion 383 is omitted in the game ball retaining portion 38 of the first embodiment described above, and the game ball retaining portion 38 is provided except that the stopper portion 383 is omitted. It has the same configuration as. In such a special out ball discharging unit 38A, the game ball 99 entered in the special out ball mouth 373 is discharged to the back side of the game board 31 without staying (stopping) in the special out ball discharging unit 38A. Will be done. Therefore, the game ball 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 is not detected by the special out ball sensor 384 after the elapse of the specific period as in the first embodiment described above, but is during the specific period. However, every time the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373, it is detected by the special out ball sensor 384.

The lamp display unit 35 presents specific information for specifying a non-set value, and a plurality of (six) individual lamp units (first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356) that can be individually turned on and off. including. The first to sixth individual ramp portions 351 to 556 are arranged side by side in a row (linear) in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 65, the lamp display unit 35 is connected to the input / output I / F 52 of the voice lamp control device 5. As a result, as can be understood from FIG. 66, the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 556 can be individually turned on and off.

The number 1 is attached to the first individual lamp unit 351. When the first individual lamp unit 351 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 1, and the game set value is set as the set value. 1 is denied. The number 2 is attached to the second individual lamp unit 352, and when the second individual lamp unit 352 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 2, and the game set value is set as the set value. 2 is denied. The number 3 is attached to the third individual lamp unit 353, and when the third individual lamp unit 353 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 3, and the game set value is set as the set value. 3 is denied. The number 4 is attached to the fourth individual lamp unit 354, and when the fourth individual lamp unit 354 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 4, and the game set value is set as the set value. 4 is denied. The number 5 is attached to the fifth individual lamp unit 355, and when the fifth individual lamp unit 355 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 5, and the game set value is set as the set value. 5 is denied. The number 6 is attached to the sixth individual lamp unit 356, and one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 6 when the sixth individual lamp unit 356 is turned on, and the game set value is set as the set value. 6 is denied.

That is, in the lamp display unit 35, the numbers attached to the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are in the lit state correspond to a plurality of non-set values, and the game set value corresponding to the numbers is denied as the set value. To. Then, when the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to all (five) non-set values are turned on, one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 corresponding to the set value is turned off and turned off. The numbers corresponding to one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 in the state correspond to the set value.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 66 (A), when the second to fifth individual lamp units 352 to 356 are turned on and only the first individual lamp unit 351 is turned off, the non-set value is 2 to 2. It is 6 and it is specified that the set value is 1. As shown in FIG. 66 (B), when the first, third to sixth individual lamp units 351 and 353 to 356 are turned on and only the second individual lamp unit 352 is turned off, the non-set value is 1.

As shown in FIG. 66 (C), when the first, second, fourth to sixth individual lamp units 351 and 352, 354 to 356 are turned on and only the third individual lamp unit 353 is turned off, it is not. It is specified that the set value is 1, 2, 4 to 6, and the set value is 3. As shown in FIG. 66 (D), when the 1st to 3rd, 5th, and 6th individual lamp units 351 to 53, 355, and 356 are turned on and only the 4th individual lamp unit 354 is turned off, it is not. It is specified that the set values are 1, 3, 5, and 6 and the set value is 4. As shown in FIG. 66 (E), when the first to fourth and sixth individual lamp units 351 to 354 and 356 are turned on and only the fifth individual lamp unit 355 is turned off, the non-set value is 1 to 1. It is 4 and 6, and it is specified that the set value is 5. As shown in FIG. 66 (F), when the first to fifth individual lamp units 351 to 355 are turned on and only the sixth individual lamp unit 356 is turned off, the non-set value is 1 to 5, and the setting is set. A value of 6 is specified. The first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 556 of the lamp display unit 35 are controlled in the set value suggestion process executed in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 34.

[Set value suggestion processing]
In the set value suggestion processing of the present embodiment, control for turning on and off the lamp display units 35 (first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356) is executed, and the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 556 The set value is suggested by specifying the non-set value according to the lighting state or the extinguishing state of. Here, FIG. 67 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the set value suggestion process executed in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 34. In the set value suggestion processing of the present embodiment, control for turning on and off the lamp display units 35 (first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356) is executed, and the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 556 The set value is suggested by specifying the non-set value according to the lighting state or the extinguishing state of. Hereinafter, the procedure of the set value suggestion processing will be described with reference to FIG. 67.

<Step S3301>
As shown in FIG. 67, in step S3301, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the ending effect start flag is set to ON. The ending effect start flag is a flag for starting the ending effect, and is set to be turned on in step S2116 in the command determination process of FIG. 37. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not it is the timing when the ending effect is started by the ending effect start flag. Here, when the ending effect start flag is on (step S3301: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3302, and when the ending effect start flag is off (step S3301: No), the process is performed in step S3311. Move to.

<Step S3302>
When the ending effect start flag is on (step S3301: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the special out ball detection flag is set to on (step S3302). The special out-ball detection flag is a flag indicating that the game ball has been detected by the special out-ball sensor 384, and is set to on in step S2114 in the command determination process of FIG. 37. Here, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3303 when the special out-ball detection flag is on (step S3302: Yes), and when the special out-ball detection flag is off (step S3302: No), the setting is made. The value suggestion processing ends.

<Step S3303>
When the special out ball detection flag is on (step S3302: Yes), that is, when it is detected that the game ball 99 has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, the individual lamp units 351 to 556 are set. A lottery will be held to turn on the lamp. That is, every time the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, a lamp lighting lottery is performed to determine whether or not to light the individual lamp units 351 to 356.

By the way, in the first embodiment described above, five numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 by the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of a predetermined period is set. This makes the set value recognizable. Then, in the 7-segment display unit 39, in order to display the five numbers, it is necessary to control the seven segments A to G five times each, so that the specific condition is 35 times (7 × 5 times). ) It is necessary to hold the above. That is, it is necessary to insert 35 game balls 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 in a predetermined period.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the information corresponding to the non-set value is displayed by the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356 of the lamp display unit 35, and the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356 are in the lit state. It is controlled only in two modes, the light-off state and the off state. Therefore, in order for the lamp display unit 35 to display the five non-set values in order to make the set values recognizable, it is sufficient that the specific conditions are satisfied five times or more. Further, in the present embodiment, the same crune device 37 as in the first embodiment described above is adopted. Therefore, when specific conditions for controlling the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356 are set in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above, the five individual lamp units 351 to 556 displaying non-set values It is clear that it will be turned on with a small number of jackpots.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as a specific condition for controlling the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356, in addition to the game ball 99 being inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37. , It is a condition that you win the lamp lighting lottery. In other words, by adopting the lamp lighting lottery, the difficulty of satisfying a specific condition is adjusted, and the difficulty of specifying all of the plurality of non-set values is adjusted. As a result, the difficulty level of lighting the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 that display the numbers corresponding to the non-set values of the lamp display unit 35 is adjusted, and the five non-set values can be easily specified. That is, it is prevented that the set value is easily recognized.

Then, as for the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery, the difficulty level for controlling the lighting of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 is displayed by the seven-segment display unit 39 in the first embodiment described above. It is set to be the same as or substantially the same as the difficulty level for. Further, the winning probabilities in the lamp lighting lottery may be the same winning probabilities for the five individual lamp units 351 to 556 corresponding to the plurality of non-set values, or for at least one individual lamp unit 351 to 556. The winning probability may be different from other individual lamp units 351 to 356.

If the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery is set to be the same for the five individual lamp units 351 to 356, the game property that the probability that the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are lit corresponding to the non-set values is stabilized is given. To. When the winning probabilities are set to be the same for the five individual lamp units 351 to 356, for example, the winning probabilities are set to about 100 × (1/7)% (= 14.3%) (for example, 10% or more and 20% or less). Will be done. This is because, in the first embodiment described above, one number is displayed by the 7-segment display unit 39 when seven game balls 99 are inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37. Also in this embodiment, when seven game balls 99 are inserted into the special out ball mouth 373, about one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 is turned on on average. When the winning probabilities in the lamp lighting lottery are set to be the same for the five individual lamp units 351 to 556 corresponding to a plurality of non-set values, the winning probabilities are not limited to 10% or more and 20% or less, and are appropriately set. It can be changed.

Further, the lottery condition that triggers the execution of the lamp lighting lottery for lighting one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to a plurality of non-set values is a special condition of the crune device 37. If it is a different lottery condition that the game ball 99 enters the out ball mouth 373, the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery may be set according to the degree of difficulty in satisfying the lottery condition. That is, when the difficulty of establishing the lottery condition is low, the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery is set low, and the higher the difficulty of establishing the lottery condition, the higher the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery is considered. Be done. By setting the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery according to the difficulty of establishing the lottery condition in this way, the difficulty of establishing the specific condition necessary for lighting one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 is specified. It can be made uniform regardless of the type of condition. This makes it possible to apply various conditions as specific conditions (to be exact, as a lottery opportunity).

On the other hand, if the winning probability for at least one individual lamp unit 351-356 is different from that for the other individual lamp units 351 to 356, the probability that the individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to the non-set value will be turned on varies. Gender is given. When the winning probability for at least one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 is different from that of the other individual lamp units 351 to 356, for example, it is conceivable to set the winning probability to be lower for the individual lamp units 351 to 356 with a slower control order. As an example, the winning probabilities are set to 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, and 5% in order from the individual lamp units 351 to 356, which have the earliest control order.

<Step S3304>
In step S3304, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the lamp lighting lottery has been won. When the MPU 51 has won the lamp lighting lottery (step S3304: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3305, and when the lamp lighting lottery has not been won (step S3304: No), the set value processing ends. ..

<Step S3305>
When the lamp lighting lottery is won (step S3304: Yes), the MPU 51 reads out the already lit lamp information (step S3305).

Here, the already lit lamp information is information relating to the individual lamp units 351 to 356 being lit, and includes the already lit lamp flag information as shown in FIGS. 68 (B) and 68 (C). The already lit lamp flag information includes a first already lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the first individual lamp unit 351 is lit, and a second already lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the second individual lamp unit 352 is lit. , The third already lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the third individual lamp unit 353 is lit, the fourth already lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the fourth individual lamp unit 354 is lit, and the fifth individual lamp unit. It is composed of a fifth already lit lamp flag indicating whether or not 355 is lit, and a sixth already lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the sixth individual lamp unit 356 is lit. Each already lit lamp flag is set to on when the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are lit, and is set to off when the individual lamps are off. In the example shown in FIG. 68 (B), all the already lit lamp flags are set to off (initial state), and all of the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 556 are turned off. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 68C, the second already lit lamp flag is set to on, the first, third to sixth already lit lamp flags are set to off, and the second individual lamp unit 352 is set. Is lit, indicating that the first, third to sixth individual lamp units 351 and 353 to 356 are off.

<Step S3306>
In step S3306, the MPU 51 determines whether or not all the already lit lamp flags are set to ON in the already lit lamp information. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not all the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 that specify the non-set value are lit. Then, when all the already lit lamp flags are set to ON in the already lit lamp information (step S3306: Yes), the MPU 51 ends the set value suggestion process. That is, when all the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 that specify the non-set value are lit, the set value suggestion process is terminated because there is no other individual lamp unit 351 to 356 to be lit. On the other hand, when there is an already lit lamp flag set to off in the already lit lamp information (step S3306: No), the process proceeds to step S3307.

<Step S3307>
When there is an already lit lamp flag set to off in the already lit lamp information (step S3306: No), the MPU 51 reads out the control order (lamp control order) of the individual lamps (step S3307).

Here, the lamp control order is set, for example, by the same procedure as the display order setting process (see FIG. 35) of the first embodiment described above. That is, the lamp control order is determined with reference to the lamp control order determination table based on the set value stored in the RAM 412 when the power is turned on or the set value is changed. This lamp control order determination table is the same as the number display order determination table (see FIG. 36) in the first embodiment described above, and if the numbers in the number display order determination table are considered as numbers attached to individual lamps, Good. The number 1 in the number display order determination table in the first embodiment described above corresponds to the first individual lamp unit 351 and similarly, in the number display order determination table in the first embodiment described above. The numbers 2 to 6 correspond to the second to sixth individual lamp units 352 to 356, respectively. For example, as shown in FIG. 68 (A), when the display order A1 is determined when the set value is 1, the control order of the individual lamp units 351 to 356 is changed from the second individual lamp unit 352 to the third individual lamp unit 352. Lamp unit 353 → 4th individual lamp unit 354 → 5th individual lamp unit 355 → 6th individual lamp unit 356. Further, in the number display order determination table in the first embodiment described above, the probability that each display order is selected is the same, and in the lamp control order determination table in the present embodiment, each lamp control order is also selected. The probability of being done is the same.

The lamp control order may be set when the power is turned on or when the set value is changed, but it may be set when a predetermined period is started. Also, the ramp control order does not have to have the same probability of being selected.

<Steps S3308 to S3310>
In step S3308, the MPU 51 determines the individual lamp units 351 to 356 to be controlled based on the lamp control order read in step S3305 and the already lit lamp information read in step S3307 (step S3308), and the individual lamp units are determined. The lamp units 351 to 356 are turned on (step S3309). That is, a lamp lighting lottery is executed every time the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, and when the lamp lighting lottery is won, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are lit. Specific information indicating the non-set value is presented. Then, the MPU 51 updates the already lit lamp information (step S3310), and ends the set value suggestion process. For example, when the second individual lamp unit 352 is lit when all the already lit lamp flags are set to off (initial state) as in the example shown in FIG. 68 (B), the already lit lamp information is shown in FIG. As shown in 68 (C), the second already lit lamp flag corresponding to the second individual lamp unit 352 is set to on.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the lamp lighting lottery is executed every time the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, and when the lamp lighting lottery is won, the individual lamp units 351 to 351 The non-set value can be specified by turning on 356. That is, in the present embodiment, the non-set value can be specified by turning on the individual lamp units 351 to 356 even before the lapse of the specific period. By setting the individual lamp units 351 to 356 in either of the two modes of the lit state and the extinguished state in this way, the non-set value can be specified by the numbers attached to the individual lamp units 351 to 356 in the lit state. is there. That is, in the present embodiment, only the information that can specify the non-set value by lighting the individual lamp units 351 to 356 is presented, and the information that can estimate the non-set value is not presented. Therefore, after the specific information that can identify one non-setting value is presented, the specific information for estimating the non-setting value is not unnecessarily presented, so that the unnecessary specific information is presented. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game.

<Step S3311>
When the ending effect start flag is off (step S3301: No), it is determined whether or not the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S3311). The jackpot game effect end flag is a flag for ending the jackpot game effect (ending effect), and is set to on in step S2118 of the command determination process of FIG. 37. Then, when the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S3311: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3312, and when the jackpot game effect end flag is off (step S3311: No), the set value. End the suggestion process.

<Step S3312>
When the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S3311: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot type to be terminated is a 5R normal jackpot (step S3312). Whether or not the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot can be determined based on whether or not the 5R normal jackpot flag, which can be set to be on in step S2103 of FIG. 37, is on. Then, when the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot (step S3312: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3313, and when the jackpot type is not a 5R normal jackpot (step S3312: No), the set value suggestion process is performed. finish.

<Steps S3313 and S3314>
When the jackpot type is a 5R normal jackpot (step S3312: Yes), the MPU 51 has an individual lamp unit 351-356 that is lit among the individual lamp units 351 to 356 of the lamp display unit 35, if any. The individual lamp units 351 to 356 are turned off (step S3313), the already lit lamp information is cleared (initialized), and the set value suggestion process is completed. That is, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 of the lamp display unit 35 are turned off when the 5R normal jackpot for which the end of a predetermined period is set is set. As a result, the lit individual ramp units 351 to 356 are maintained in the lit state until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. Therefore, until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set is completed, it is possible to confirm that the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are lit at any time, that is, the specific information that specifies the non-set value is specified. .. Therefore, the previously presented specific information in the same predetermined period is not forgotten, and the convenience when specifying a plurality of non-set values based on the specific information, and by extension, when specifying or guessing the set value is improved. Will be done.

In this embodiment, it corresponds to the non-set value in the lamp display unit 35 when the lamp lighting lottery executed when the game ball 99 is entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 is won. Although the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are turned on, it is optional to perform the lamp lighting lottery, and the game is played on the special out ball mouth 373 without performing the lamp lighting lottery as in the first embodiment described above. When the ball 99 is inserted, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to the non-set value may be turned on. When the lamp lighting lottery is not performed in this way, the difficulty of the game ball 99 to the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 is increased, or the game ball 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 is used as the special out ball sensor 384. It is conceivable to adjust the probability that the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are turned on by allocating the route detected by the above and the route not detected by the special out-ball sensor 384.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 of the lamp display unit 35 that presents the non-set value are set to one of the two modes of the lighting state and the extinguishing state, and the individual lamp unit 351 in the lighting state Information that identifies the non-set value is presented by the type (number) of ~ 356. That is, in the present embodiment, only the information that can specify the non-set value by lighting the individual lamp units 351 to 356 is presented, and the information that can estimate the non-set value is not presented. Therefore, after the specific information that can identify one non-setting value is presented, the specific information for estimating the non-setting value is not unnecessarily presented, so that the unnecessary specific information is presented. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game.

Further, the individually lit individual lamp units 351 to 356 are immediately lit by winning the lamp lighting lottery executed when the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37. The lit individual lamp units 351 to 356 are maintained in a lit state until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of a predetermined period is set. Therefore, until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set is completed, the specific information for specifying the non-set value is confirmed at any time based on whether or not the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are lit. be able to. Therefore, the specific information presented in the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is not forgotten, and it is convenient when specifying a plurality of non-set values based on the specific information, and by extension, when specifying or estimating the set value. Sex is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a specific condition for controlling the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356, in addition to the game ball 99 being inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37. , It is a condition that you win the lamp lighting lottery. As a result, the difficulty of establishing a specific condition is adjusted by the winning probability of the lamp lighting lottery, and the difficulty of specifying all of the plurality of non-set values is adjusted. Therefore, the difficulty level of lighting each of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 that display the numbers corresponding to the non-set values of the lamp display unit 35 is adjusted, and the five non-set values can be easily specified. That is, it is prevented that the set value is easily recognized.

It should be noted that the lamps are turned on immediately by winning the lamp lighting lottery that is executed when the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, but the lamp lighting lottery is executed ( The game ball 99 has been inserted into the special out ball mouth 373) and the result of the lamp lighting lottery may be clearly shown to the player by a display means other than the lamp display unit 35. For example, as shown in FIG. 69 (A), it is clearly shown to the player that the lamp lighting lottery is executed (the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37), and FIG. 69 The result of the lamp lighting lottery is clearly shown to the player as shown in (B1) or FIG. 69 (B2), and the individual lamp units 351 to 556 are further lit as shown in FIG. 69 (C1) or FIG. 69 (C2). Information about the above is clearly shown on the symbol display unit 341. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 69 (A), when the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 of the lamp display unit 35 are lit. An image for focusing on the possibility, that is, the lamp display unit 35 (roulette) is displayed. In this way, by clearly indicating that the lamp lighting lottery is executed by the symbol display unit 341 (the game ball 99 has been inserted into the special out ball mouth 373), the game ball 99 is inserted into the special out ball mouth 373. Even if it is overlooked that the ball has been inserted, the game ball 99 has been inserted into the special out ball mouth 373 according to the image displayed on the symbol display unit 341, that is, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 It is possible to grasp that there is a possibility of being turned on.

Then, when the lamp lighting lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 69 (B1), the information regarding the individual lamp units 351 to 356 to be in the lighting state is clearly shown. In the illustrated example, it is clearly shown that the second individual lamp unit 352 is turned on. In this way, by clearly indicating the result of the lamp lighting lottery on the symbol display unit 341, it is possible to grasp whether or not the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are lit not only on the lamp display unit 35 but also on the symbol display unit 341. Convenience is improved because it becomes possible.

Further, as shown in FIG. 69 (C1), in the symbol display unit 341, information regarding the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are lit is continuously clearly indicated during the execution of the jackpot game (at least during the execution of the open / close execution mode). Will be done. That is, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 of the individual lamp unit 35 that is lit are displayed on the symbol display unit 341. In addition, until the end of the 5R normal jackpot, for which the end of the predetermined period is set, is completed, for example, in the jackpot game (at least the opening / closing execution mode), information regarding the individually lit individual lamp units 351 to 556 may be displayed. ..

On the other hand, when the result of the lamp lighting lottery is non-winning, an image indicating that the result of the lamp lighting lottery is non-winning is displayed as shown in FIG. 69 (B1). In this way, the lamp display unit 35 is displayed by continuously indicating the information regarding the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are lit by the symbol display unit 341 during the execution of the jackpot game (at least during the execution of the open / close execution mode). Since it is not necessary to confirm, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are lit can also be confirmed on the symbol display unit 341, which improves convenience.

Further, the specific information indicating the non-set value may be presented only in the symbol display unit 341 instead of the lamp display unit 35 provided separately from the symbol display unit 341. That is, the specific information may be presented to the player only by the effect on the symbol display unit 341 regarding the lamp lighting lottery in the jackpot game (open / close execution mode) described with reference to FIG. 69.

Further, also in the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment described above, in the ending effect of the jackpot game, the ending additional image for specifying the non-set value may be displayed on the symbol display unit 341. .. For example, as shown in FIG. 70, in the ending of the jackpot game, an image imitating the lamp display unit 35 is displayed on the symbol display unit 341 as an ending additional image. In the example shown in FIG. 70 (A), it is clearly shown that only the second individual lamp unit 352 is lit in the lamp display unit 35, and in the example shown in FIG. 70 (B), the second to second lamp units 35 are lit. It is clearly shown that the sixth individual lamp unit 352 to 356 is turned on and only the first individual lamp unit 351 is turned off. In this way, by displaying the on-off state of the lamp display unit 35 by the symbol display unit 341 at the ending of the jackpot game, it is possible to confirm the on-off state of the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that were lit by the jackpot game. Therefore, convenience is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are arranged in a row (linear) as the lamp display unit 35, but the lamp display unit 35 is an individual lamp unit 351 to 356. The lamps are not limited to those arranged in a row, and other forms may be adopted. For example, a lamp display unit 35 in which individual lamp units 351 to 356 are arranged in a ring shape as shown in FIG. 71 (A) and a lamp display unit 35 arranged in a matrix as shown in FIG. 71 (B) are adopted. You can also do it. Further, as the lamp display unit 35, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 may be arranged in a staggered pattern.

Further, instead of the lamp display unit 35, a display device in which a plurality of 7-segment display devices are arranged in a row, a ring, a matrix, a staggered pattern, or the like may be adopted.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same design changes as those in the above-mentioned first to fourth embodiments can be made within the applicable range.

[Sixth Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, for each jackpot game executed in a predetermined period (the period from the start of the jackpot game for the first jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening / closing execution mode in the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot). A specific period (the period from the start of the jackpot game to the end of the open / close execution mode) is set, and the number of balls that satisfy the specific conditions (the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crune device 37 within the specific period). In the ending of the jackpot game in which the specific period is set based on (number of), all or part of the specific information (numbers) corresponding to each of the plurality of non-set values (set values) is the 7-segment display unit 39. The case presented in was explained.

By the way, in a game machine such as a pachinko game machine or a slot machine, a power failure monitoring process (power supply monitoring) for monitoring whether or not the drive voltage supplied to the main control device (board) that controls the progress of the game is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Processing) is executed. In this power failure monitoring process, it is determined that a power cutoff has occurred when the drive voltage is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and various information is backed up. Then, after the power is restored, the game proceeds in the state before the power is cut off based on the backup of various information.

However, in the conventional power failure monitoring process (power supply monitoring process), it is determined whether or not the power supply is cut off based on the drive voltage being equal to or less than a predetermined value, so that the cause of the power failure cannot be determined by the gaming machine. Here, as the power supply to the game machine is cut off, for example, the power supply to each game machine in the game hall of the island facility is cut off all at once by cutting off the power supply to the island equipment in the game hall, and the individual power sources of the game machine are cut off. The power supply to each game machine is cut off by turning off the switch, the power supply to the game machine is cut off due to a power failure, and the power supply to the game machine is cut off by the so-called goto act.

On the other hand, in the game hall, the power supply to the game machines of the island equipment is started all at once (power is restored) by the start of the power supply to the island equipment of the game hall, or the power switch of each game machine is turned off. Individual power supply to the game machine is started (power recovery). Then, in the gaming machine in which the power supply is started (power restoration), the power restoration process is executed, and the game proceeds in the state before the power interruption based on the backup of various information at the time of power interruption as described above.

Therefore, in the game machine, improvement according to various states is desired as the processing when the power supply to the game machine is started, and the processing when the power supply to the game machine is started or when the power is cut off. In the process, it is desirable to execute the process according to various states when the power is cut off.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the state of the power switch as the displacement means that can be displaced between the first state (for example, the off state) and the second state (for example, the on state) is the displacement means. Power switch as a detection means capable of detecting the state of the power switch When the power switch is determined to be in the first state based on the detection content of the state detection unit, the normal state (for example, power recovery by turning on the power switch, power switch) The first process (for example, the process when the power is turned on) is executed by determining that the power is cut off by turning off the power, while the abnormal state (for example, the power switch) is determined when the power switch is determined to be in the second state. The second process (for example, the process at the time of power failure recovery) is executed by determining that the power is restored without turning on and the power is shut off without turning off the power switch.

As described above, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the first process in the normal state or the second process in the abnormal state is performed according to the state of the power switch determined based on the detection content by the power switch state detection unit. Will be executed. Therefore, the first process in the normal state or the second process in the abnormal state is executed according to the state of the power switch determined based on the detection content by the power switch state detection unit, so that the first process is executed. This makes it possible to determine that the state of the power switch is normal, while it is possible to determine that the state of the power switch is abnormal by executing the second process. At least one of the time when the power is cut off and the time when the power is restored, it is possible to execute the process according to the state of the displacement means (for example, the state of the displacement means when the power is cut off).

Specifically, the game machine of the present embodiment includes a power switch state detection unit that detects at least one of the on state and the off state of the power switch of the game machine. Further, the gaming machine of the present embodiment confirms at least one of the on state and the off state of the power switch based on the detection result of the power switch state detection unit when the power is cut off. Thereby, it is possible to distinguish whether the power cutoff is due to the power switch being turned off or not due to the power switch being turned off. Therefore, at least one of the power cutoff time and the power supply recovery time, at least one of the main control device and the audio lamp control device can execute the process according to the state of the power supply switch at the time of power cutoff. Become.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the command that can specify the state of the power switch at the time of power cutoff is sent to the voice lamp control device at the time of the power cutoff or at the time of power recovery after the power cutoff. The position of the movable accessory member is controlled according to the state of the power switch when the power is cut off. For example, in the present embodiment, when the state of the power switch when the power is cut off is on, the movable accessory member is positioned in the standby position (normal position), while the state of the power switch when the power is cut off. The movable accessory member is positioned in the operating position when is in the off state. Of course, the movable accessory member is positioned at the operating position when the power switch state at the time of power cutoff is on, while the movable accessory member is located at the operating position when the power switch state at the time of power cutoff is off. The movable accessory member may be controlled so that the object member is positioned at the standby position (normal position).

In this way, by controlling the position of the movable accessory member according to the state of the power switch when the power is cut off, the game hall side can determine that the cause of the power cut is not due to the power switch being turned off. It can be visually recognized from the state of the game machine (position of the movable accessory member). As a result, the game hall side can easily detect the occurrence of the goto act.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the power switch at the time of power off is in a predetermined state, for example, when the state of the power switch at the time of power off to the game machine is off, when the power is restored after the power is cut off. Error processing such as error notification is executed. In this way, when the power switch at the time of power off is in a predetermined state, for example, when the state of the power switch at the time of power off to the game machine is off, an error notification or the like is sent when the power is restored after the power is cut off. By executing the error processing of, the game hall side said that the power cutoff to the game machine was not due to the power switch being turned off, for example, the power supply to the game machine was cut off due to a power failure or a goto action. Can be grasped. As a result, the game hall side can deal with the fact that the power cutoff to the game machine is not due to the power switch being turned off.

Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of a specific effect (for example, RTC effect) or a predetermined effect (for example, a deferred effect) is restricted based on the state of the power switch when the power of the game machine is cut off. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the state of the power switch when the power of the game machine is turned off is in the off state (when the power is restored by turning on the power switch), a specific effect (for example, RTC effect) is executed. It is restricted, and when the state of the power switch when the power of the game machine is cut off is on (when the power supply to the island equipment of the game hall is started), the execution of the predetermined effect (for example, the stationary effect) is restricted. .. In this way, when the power cutoff to the game machine is due to the power switch being turned off (when the power is restored by turning on the power switch), the execution of the specific effect (for example, the RTC effect) is restricted, and the game machine is affected. When the power cutoff is not due to the power switch being turned off (when the power is restored by turning on the power switch), the execution of a predetermined effect (for example, a stationary effect) is restricted, so that the power cutoff to the game machine is performed. When the power switch is turned off, inconvenience occurs due to the execution of a specific effect (for example, RTC effect) (for example, the execution timing of the RTC effect shifts), and the power cutoff to the gaming machine causes the power switch to turn off. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience (for example, the player grasping the game set value) due to the execution of the predetermined effect (for example, the stationary effect) when the effect is not the same.

The first process and the second process do not necessarily have to be special control processes executed by the main control device, the voice lamp control device, or the like. For example, as the first process (normal process), a normal process is executed without performing a special process, and as a second process (abnormal process), a special process is added to or in place of a part or all of the normal process. It is conceivable to execute various processes. Specifically, as the first process, a process that enables the progress of the game (for example, execution of a jackpot lottery, notification of the jackpot lottery result (for example, variable display and stop display of a special symbol or decorative symbol), launch of a game ball 99) is performed. Execute. On the other hand, as the second process, a process in which the game cannot proceed (for example, non-execution of the jackpot lottery, non-notification of the jackpot lottery result (for example, non-variation of the special symbol or decorative symbol), and suspension of the launch of the game ball 99) is executed. Further, the first process and the second process may be execution / non-execution of the prescribed effect executed in the progress of the variable game or the jackpot game. For example, the first process may be a process that restricts the execution of the specific effect, and the second process may be a process that restricts the execution of the predetermined effect. In other words, for example, the first process may be the execution of the specific process and the second process may be the non-execution of the specific process. On the contrary, the first process is the non-execution of the predetermined process and the second process is the predetermined. It may be the execution of processing. Specifically, for example, it is conceivable that the first process is the execution of a process in which the game can proceed and the second process is the non-execution of the process in which the game can proceed.

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 72 to 82, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment described above.

[Structure of inner frame 12]
Here, FIG. 72 is a front view showing an example of the game board 31 when the movable accessory member 342 of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment is in the standby position, and FIG. 73 is a front view showing the movable accessory member 342 in the operating position. It is a front view which shows an example of the game board 31 in the case of.

As shown in FIGS. 72 and 73, in the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a movable accessory member 342 is provided on the game board 31. The movable accessory member 342 is a decorative member that can operate in a predetermined manner in the game machine 10 and is also generally referred to as an “accessory”. In the present embodiment, the movable accessory member 342 is set at a predetermined standby position (see FIG. 72) located above the symbol display unit 341 and on the center side of the symbol display unit 341 below the standby position. It is possible to move along the surface of the symbol display unit 341 to and from the operating position (see FIG. 73).

The movable accessory member 342 may be entirely hidden without being exposed from the opening 31A at the standby position. Further, the game machine 10 may include a plurality of movable accessory members 342. Further, the movable accessory member 342 may include a combination of a plurality of separated movable members, a member that can be deformed into two or more forms, and a display such as a liquid crystal display device. Of course, the movable accessory member 342 is not limited to covering a part of the display screen of the symbol display unit 341, and may cover the entire display screen.

Such a movable accessory member 342 is controlled to operate in a variable game effect for showing a lottery result in a big hit lottery in a variable game. In particular, the movable accessory member 342 is operated as a definite effect indicating that the lottery result in the big hit lottery is a winning, and also is operated as a chance-up effect when the probability that the lottery is a big hit is high. Often. Further, in the present embodiment, it is conceivable that the movable accessory member 342 is operated in the jackpot game, in the promotion effect from the normal jackpot to the probabilistic jackpot, and in the hold consecutive villa confirmation effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, the movable accessory member 342 cuts off the power supply without turning off the power switch 91, for example, the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off due to a power failure during the business of the game hall or a goto action. When the power to the island equipment of the game hall is cut off, the game hall is moved to the operating position (see FIG. 73). Here, the power outage during the operation of the game hall and the power cutoff to the island equipment of the game hall can be grasped by the store side. On the other hand, the power cutoff to the game machine 10 due to the goto action cannot be directly grasped on the game hall side, but the movable accessory member 342 is moved to the operating position when the power cut to the game machine 10 is turned off, so that the game machine due to the goto action The power cutoff to 10 can be grasped by the game hall side. This makes it easier to detect goto acts.

[System configuration of game machine 10]
The game machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes a drive mechanism for the movable accessory member 342, and also includes a power supply monitoring circuit 95 in which the power supply control device 9 monitors the power cutoff. Here, FIG. 74 is a block diagram showing an example of a part of the system configuration of the game machine 10.

[Drive mechanism of movable accessory member 342]
As shown in FIG. 74, the game machine 10 has a motor 342a that supplies a driving force to the movable accessory member 342, and a return detection unit 342b for detecting that the movable accessory member 342 has returned to the standby position. Has. The motor 342a is a stepping motor, a DC motor, or the like, and the return detection unit 342b is an optical sensor, a contact type sensor, or the like. The movable accessory member 342 and the motor 342a are connected via a drive transmission mechanism such as a drive gear (not shown), and the movable accessory member 342 is directed from the standby position to the operating position according to the rotation direction of the motor 342a. Move downward or upward from the operating position toward the standby position.

Further, the game machine 10 includes a motor driver 342c to which the motor 342a and the return detection unit 342b are connected. The motor driver 342c is connected to the input / output I / F 52 of the voice lamp control device 5. Then, the motor driver 342c controls the motor 342a according to the control instruction from the voice lamp control device 5. Further, the motor driver 342c can acquire the detection result by the return detection unit 342b and transmit it to the voice lamp control device 5. The motor 342a and the return detection unit 342b may be directly connected to the input / output I / O 52 of the voice lamp control device 5 and controlled by the voice lamp control device 5.
In the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the power supply control device 9 includes a power supply monitoring circuit that monitors the interruption of power from the power supply equipment to the game machine 10, and is a power supply switch that detects an on state or an off state of the power failure switch 91. It differs from the above-described first embodiment in that the state detection unit is connected to the MPU 41 of the main control device 4.

[Power control device 9]
The power supply control device 9 of the present embodiment includes a power supply switch 91, a RAM erasing switch 92, a charging means 93, a power supply unit 94, and a power supply monitoring circuit 95.

Since the power switch 91 and the RAM erase switch 92 are the same as those in the first embodiment described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

As described in the charging means 93, the first embodiment described above, the charging means 93 is charged by the electric power supplied from the power supply equipment PS, and is, for example, a capacitor and a secondary battery. By this charging means, in the game machine 10, even when the power supply from the power supply equipment PS is cut off, the information of the RAM provided in the control device is held for a certain period by the power discharged from the capacitor. Further, in the game machine 10, even when the power supply from the power supply equipment PS is cut off, the control device can be driven by the power discharged from the secondary battery for a certain period of time, and the movable accessory member 342 Can be moved to the operating position.

The power supply unit 94 takes in external power (for example, AC 24V) supplied from the external power supply PS and converts it into internal power (for example, DC 24V), and generates various electric powers from the internal power. The electric power generated by the power supply unit 94 is the electric power of the driving voltage (for example, DC 12V) for driving various devices such as various solenoids and various motors, and drives various switches and executes control processing. The power of the control voltage (for example, DC 5V) for the purpose, the power of the backup voltage for holding the contents of the RAM 412 of the MPU 41 in the main control device 4, and the like are included.

A power switch 91 is connected to the power supply unit 94, and when the power switch 91 is in the on state, external power is taken in from the equipment power supply PS, and when the power supply switch 91 is in the off state, the equipment power supply is used. The intake of external power from the PS is stopped.

Further, the power supply unit 94 supplies various electric powers generated from the internal electric power to the power supply monitoring circuit 95, the main control device 4, the voice lamp control device 5, the payout control device 7, the launch control device 8 (see FIG. 12), and the like. To do. Specifically, the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is supplied with power of internal power, drive voltage, control voltage, and backup voltage. Power of a drive voltage, a control voltage, and a backup voltage is supplied to the main control device 4 via the power supply monitoring circuit 95. Power of a driving voltage and a control voltage is supplied to the voice lamp control device 5. Power of a driving voltage and a control voltage is supplied to the payout control device 7. Power of a driving voltage and a control voltage is supplied to the launch control device 8.

The power supply monitoring circuit 95 monitors the interruption of the power supply from the power supply equipment PS to the power supply unit 94. Specifically, the power supply monitoring circuit 95 monitors, for example, a drive voltage (for example, DC 12 V) supplied from the power supply unit 94 to the main control device 4, and the drive voltage (monitoring voltage) is predetermined. When it is confirmed that the value is less than the value (for example, less than 10 VV), a power cutoff signal indicating that the power supply from the power supply equipment PS to the power supply unit 94 is cut off is output to the main control device 4. When the main control device 4 receives the power cutoff signal, the main control device 4 executes a power cutoff process (see FIG. 77) described later.

The details of the power-off processing will be described later, but in the power-off processing of the present embodiment, the on / off state of the power switch 91 at the time of power-off is confirmed, and the switch state is confirmed according to the on / off state. The flag is set. In this way, the switch status flag is set according to the on / off state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, and by checking the switch status flag when the power supply is restored, the previous power cutoff is performed. However, it can be determined whether the power switch 91 is turned off or the power switch 91 is not turned off (for example, a power failure, a goto action, or a power cutoff to the island equipment of the game hall). As a result, it is possible to prevent problems that may occur when the power is cut off due to a power switch other than turning off, for example, undiscovered goto action or deferred effect, and it is possible to detect goto action.

Further, as the monitoring voltage, in addition to the driving voltage (for example, DC 12V) supplied to the main control device 4, the maximum voltage (for example, DC 24V) output from the power supply unit 94 can be mentioned. In this case, the power supply monitoring circuit 95 outputs a power supply cutoff signal to the main control device 4 when, for example, it is confirmed that the monitoring voltage is less than DC 22V.

In the present embodiment, the term "power cutoff" means that the monitoring voltage by the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is less than a predetermined value, which does not necessarily mean that the power supply is completely cut off.

Further, in the present embodiment, the power switch state detection unit 91a is connected to the main control device 4. The power switch state detection unit 91a is used to determine whether the power switch 91 is in the on state or the off state. The power switch state detection unit 91a is not particularly limited as long as it can determine at least that the power switch 91 is in the on state or that the power switch 91 is in the off state. For example, when the power switch 91 is in the on state. A certain case and a case where at least one of the cases where the power switch 91 is in the off state can be detected, and various known sensors and switches can be used. For example, as the power switch state detection unit 91a, one that uses light, radiation, magnetism, or electricity, a combination of two or more of light, magnetism, and electricity, and one that uses a mechanical switch can be considered. Specifically, examples of the power switch state detection unit 91a include an optical sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a photodiode, an infrared sensor, a proximity sensor, a limit switch, a push button switch, and a piezoelectric element.

Here, FIG. 75 is a diagram showing an example of the power switch 91 of the power control device 9 and the power switch state detection unit 91a. In the example shown in FIG. 75, the power switch state detection unit 91a outputs a low level signal when the power switch 91 is in the on state, and outputs a high level signal when the power switch 91 is in the off state. .. That is, the power switch state detection unit 91a shown in FIG. 75 detects that the power switch 91 is in the off state. Of course, the power switch state detection unit 91a may detect that the power switch 91 is in the on state, may be capable of detecting both the on state and the off state of the power switch 91, and may be capable of detecting both the on state and the off state of the power switch 91. A sensor that can detect that the power switch 91 is in the on state and a sensor that can detect that the power switch 91 is in the off state are used in combination, and the power switch 91 is in the on state based on the detection results of the two sensors. And it may be determined whether it is in the off state.

The power switch 91 shown in FIGS. 75 (A1) to 75 (A3) is a push-type rotary switch (rocker switch). In the power switch 91, the state in which the upper half of the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (A2) is pressed is the ON state, and the state in which the lower half of the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (A3) is pressed is pressed.

When the lower half of 911 presses the power switch state detection unit 91a, a high level signal is output to the MPU 41 of the main control device 4. On the other hand, the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 can grasp that the power switch state detection unit 91a is in the off state by receiving the high level signal from the power switch state detection unit 91a.

The power switch 91 shown in FIGS. 75 (B1) to 75 (B3) is a lever-type rotary switch (single-cut switch, toggle switch). In the power switch 91, the state in which the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (B2) is in the upper position is the on state, and the state in which the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (B3) is in the lower position is the off state.

A high level signal is output to the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 by contact or when the lower half of the operation unit 911 presses the power switch state detection unit 91a. On the other hand, the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 can grasp that the power switch state detection unit 91a is in the off state by receiving the high level signal from the power switch state detection unit 91a.

The power switch 91 shown in FIGS. 75 (C1) to 75 (C3) is a selector switch. In the power switch 91, the state in which the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (C2) is rotated counterclockwise is in the ON state, and the state in which the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (C3) is rotated clockwise is in the state. Is off. Further, in the power switch state detection unit 91a, when the operation unit 911 is in the clockwise rotation position, the power switch state detection unit 91a is located on the back side of the through hole 913 located on the back side of the upper end portion of the operation unit 911. Be placed. For example, an optical sensor is adopted as the power switch state detection unit 91a in this case, and the power switch state detection unit 91a mainly controls the high level signal when it is detected that an object exists in front of the through hole 913. Output to MPU 41 of device 4. On the other hand, the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 can grasp that the power switch state detection unit 91a is in the off state by receiving the high level signal from the power switch state detection unit 91a.

The power switch 91 shown in FIGS. 75 (D1) to 75 (D3) is a slide switch. In the power switch 91, the state in which the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (D2) is in the upper position is the on state, and the state in which the operation unit 911 shown in FIG. 75 (D3) is in the lower position is the off state. Further, the power switch state detection unit 91a is arranged at a position facing the lower end of the operation unit 911 when the operation unit 911 is in the lower position, and the lower end of the operation unit 911 is close to or close to the power switch state detection unit 91a. A high level signal is output to the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 by contact or when the lower half of the operation unit 911 presses the power switch state detection unit 91a. On the other hand, the MPU 41 of the main control device 4 can grasp that the power switch state detection unit 91a is in the off state by receiving the high level signal from the power switch state detection unit 91a.

The power switch 91 may be another switch such as a push button switch.

[Processing of main control unit 4]
In the present embodiment, in the main process when the power is restored, different processes are executed depending on the cause when the power is turned off, and in the (normal) main process which is executed after the main process when the power is restored, in the main process when the power is restored. It differs from the above-described first embodiment in that a process capable of determining the cause when the power is cut off is executed. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 76 to 80, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment described above.

[Normal main processing]
In the normal main process of the present embodiment, basically the same process as the main process (see FIG. 23) executed by the main control device 4 in the first embodiment described above is executed, but the power supply control device 9 When the monitoring voltage monitored by the power supply monitoring circuit 95 of the above is less than a predetermined value, the main process (main process) executed by the main control unit 4 in the first embodiment is executed in that the power cutoff process described later is executed. (See FIG. 23). Here, FIG. 76 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure of normal main processing executed by the main control unit.

<Step S3401>
As shown in FIG. 76, in the normal main process of the present embodiment, the MPU 41 is the same as the main process (see FIG. 23) executed by the main control device 4 in the first embodiment described above, in steps S1301 to 1309. After executing the process, it is determined whether or not the monitoring voltage monitored by the power supply monitoring circuit 95 of the power supply control device 9 is less than a predetermined value (step S3401). Specifically, the MPU 41 monitors depending on whether or not it has received a power cutoff signal transmitted from the power supply monitoring circuit 95 to the main control device 4 (MPU 41) when the monitoring voltage is less than a predetermined value as described above. Judge whether the voltage is less than a predetermined value.

The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3402 when the monitoring voltage monitored by the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is less than a predetermined value (step S3401: Yes), that is, when the power supply cutoff signal transmitted from the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is received. To do. On the other hand, when the monitoring voltage monitored by the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is not less than a predetermined value (step S3401: No), that is, when the power supply cutoff signal transmitted from the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is not received, the MPU 41 described above. The processing of steps S131 to S1312 is executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

<Step S3402>
When the monitoring voltage monitored by the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is less than a predetermined value (step S3401: Yes), that is, when the power supply cutoff signal transmitted from the power supply monitoring circuit 95 is received, the MPU 41 executes the power supply cutoff process. .. The details of the power cutoff process will be described later with reference to FIG. 77.

[Processing when power is cut off]
In the power cut-off process of the present embodiment, the switch state flag is set according to the on / off state of the power switch 91 at the time of power cutoff. Here, FIG. 77 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the power cutoff process executed in the normal main process of FIG. 76.

<Step S3501>
As shown in FIG. 77, in the power cutoff process of the present embodiment, the MPU 41 first determines whether or not the power switch 91 is in the off state. Specifically, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the level of the signal transmitted from the power switch state detection unit 91a is high. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3502 when the power switch 91 is in the off state (step S3501: Yes), that is, when the level of the signal transmitted from the power switch state detection unit 91a is high. On the other hand, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3504 when the power switch 91 is in the ON state (step S3501: No), that is, when the level of the signal transmitted from the power switch state detection unit 91a is low level.

<Steps S3502 and S3503>
When the power switch 91 is in the off state (step S3501: Yes), that is, when the level of the signal transmitted from the power switch state detection unit 91a is high, the MPU 41 sets the switch power cut command (step S3502). ). Here, the switch power cut command is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91. This switch power cut command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the external output process of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. 76. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 can grasp that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91.

Then, the MPU 41 sets the switch status flag to off (step S3503), and shifts the process to step S3506. Here, the switch state flag is a flag indicating whether or not the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91. Specifically, when the switch status flag is off, it indicates that the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, and when the switch status flag is on, other than turning off the power switch 91. It is shown that the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off due to the cause (for example, power failure, goto action, power cutoff to the island equipment). This switch status flag is referred to in the main process when the power is restored in FIG. 78, which will be described later, and the process according to the setting type of the switch status flag (the process when the power is turned on in FIG. 79 or the process when the power is restored in FIG. 80) is executed. The flag.

<Steps S3504 and S3505>
When the power switch 91 is in the ON state (step S3501: No), that is, when the level of the signal transmitted from the power switch state detection unit 91a is low level, the MPU 41 sets a non-switch power failure command (step). S3504). Here, the non-switch power cut command is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is in the ON state. This non-switch power cut command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the external output process of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. 76. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 can grasp that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off when the power switch 91 is on.

Then, the MPU 41 sets the switch state flag to ON (step S3505), and shifts the process to step S3506. That is, when the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is turned on regardless of whether it is turned off, the MPU 41 sets the switch state flag indicating that fact to on.

<Steps S3506-3508>
When the processing of steps S3502 and S3503 is completed, or when the processing of steps S3504 and S3505 is completed, or when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, the processing according to the state of the power switch 91 is completed. , MPU41 executes steps S3506 to 0358, which are generally executed when the power is cut off. Specifically, the MPU 41 prohibits the main timer interrupt processing (step S3506), executes the calculation and storage of the determination value of the RAM 412 (step S3507), prohibits access to the RAM 412 (step S3508), and powers the power supply. Continues an infinite loop until is completely interrupted and processing cannot be executed.

As described above, in the power cutoff process, based on the level of the signal transmitted from the power switch state detection unit 91a when the power cutoff signal transmitted from the power supply monitoring circuit 95 to the main control device 4 (MPU41) is received. The main control device 4 can grasp the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off. As a result, when the power is cut off and when the power is restored (after the power is restored), the main control device 4 and the audio lamp control device 5 can execute different processes depending on the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off.

Specifically, when the power is cut off, the main control device 4 executes different processes according to the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, so that the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off (power interruption type). Different commands (switch power failure command, non-switch power failure command) can be set according to the above, and the command can be transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5.

On the other hand, when the power is cut off, the voice lamp control device 5 executes processing according to the type of received command (switch power cut command, non-switch power cut command) (state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off). It becomes possible to do. Specifically, as described later, when the power is cut off, the voice lamp control device 5 receives a switch power cut command indicating that the power switch 91 is in the off state when the power is cut off (power is supplied by turning off the power switch 91). When the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the standby position (see FIG. 72), and a non-switch power failure command indicating that the power switch 91 is on when the power is cut off is received (when the power is cut off). When the power is cut off without turning off the power switch 91), the movable accessory member 342 can be in a stopped state at the operating position (see FIG. 73).

Further, when the power is cut off, the main control device 4 executes different processes according to the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, so that the main control device 4 responds to the state (power interruption type) of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off. Flags (switch status flags) can be set. Then, when the power is restored, the main control device 4 can execute different processing according to the type of the switch state flag set according to the state (power interruption type) of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off. .. Specifically, as described later, when the power is restored, in the main control device 4, when the switch status flag is off (when the power is cut off by turning off the power switch 91), the power is cut off by turning off the power switch 91. When the power failure type command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 is set, but the switch status flag is on (when the power is turned off due to the power switch 91 being turned off), A power cut type command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the power is cut off in the on state without turning off the power switch 91 is set.

On the other hand, when the power is restored (after the power is restored), the voice lamp control device 5 executes a process according to the type of the received power cut type command (state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off). Becomes possible. Specifically, as will be described later, when the power is restored (after the power is restored), when the voice lamp control device 5 receives a command indicating the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, it is specified from this command. It is specified by a command (switch power cut command, non-switch power cut command) indicating the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off and the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, which is transmitted from the main control device 4 when the power is cut off. It is determined whether there is any inconsistency with the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, and if there is an inconsistency, error processing is executed.

[Main processing when power is restored]
The main process at the time of power recovery of the present embodiment is a process that is started when the power supply from the equipment power supply PS to the power supply unit 94 is started. In this power recovery main process, after executing the process related to the RAM 412 of the MPU 41, a process that enables execution of the normal main process (see FIG. 76) and the main timer interrupt process (see FIG. 20), which will be described later, is executed. .. Here, FIG. 78 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure of the main process at the time of power recovery executed by the main control device 4 of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment.

<Step S3601>
As shown in FIG. 78, in the main process at the time of power restoration of the present embodiment, the MPU 41 first executes the start-up process. Specifically, the MPU 41 waits, for example, about 500 msec in order to wait for the control board to be in an operable state.

<Step S3602>
In step S3602, the MPU 41 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 1 sec), which is a permission prohibition period, has elapsed since the start-up process. When the predetermined time has elapsed (step S3602: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3603. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S3602: No), the process of step S3602 is executed again.

Whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed is determined by counting the number of processes in step S3602. For example, if the time required from the determination by the MPU 41 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S3602: No) to the execution of the process of step S3602 again is, for example, 0.1 msec, step S3602 When the count value of the number of processes reaches 10,000, it is determined that 1 sec has elapsed since the start-up process of step S3601. The specific configuration of the time measurement is arbitrary, and for example, the time may be measured using a real-time clock.

<Steps S3603 and S3604>
When the predetermined time has elapsed (step S3602: Yes), the MPU 41 permits access to the RAM 412 (step S3603) and determines whether or not the switch state flag is set to off (step S3604). That is, the MPU 41 determines whether the power switch 91 at the time of power off was in the on state or the off state.

Here, the switch status flag indicates whether the power supply is cut off due to the power switch 91 of the power control device 9 being turned off when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, or other factors ( It is a flag to judge whether it is due to a power outage or turning off the power of the island equipment in the game hall). This switch state flag is set to off when the power switch 91 is in the off state when the power supply is cut off in the power cutoff process of FIG. 77 described later, which is executed when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off. This is set to ON when the power switch 91 is in the ON state.

Then, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3605 when the switch state flag is set to off (step S3604: Yes), that is, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off when the power switch 91 is off. To do. On the other hand, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3606 when the switch status flag is set to ON (step S3604: No), that is, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is ON. To do.

<Step S3605>
When the switch state flag is set to off (step S3604: Yes), that is, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is off, the MPU 41 executes the power-on processing. The details of the power-on processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 79.

<Step S3606>
When the switch status flag is set to ON (step S3604: No), that is, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is ON, the MPU 41 executes the power failure recovery process. The details of the power failure recovery process will be described later with reference to FIG. 80.

<Step S3607>
The MPU 41 permits the execution of the main timer interrupt process of FIG. 20 when the power-on processing of step S3605 is completed or the power failure recovery process of step S3606 is completed, and the normal main process of FIG. 76 described above is performed. Transition.

[Processing when power is turned on]
The power-on processing of the present embodiment is started when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is off, and the power supply to the power supply unit 94 is started from the equipment power supply PS. It is a process to be performed. That is, it is a process executed when the power supply to the game machine 10 is restored by turning on the power switch 91. Here, FIG. 79 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the power-on processing executed in the power-returning main processing of FIG. 78.

<Step S3701>
As shown in FIG. 79, in the power-on processing of the present embodiment, the MPU 41 first determines whether or not the RAM erase switch 92 is turned on. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3702 when the RAM erase switch 92 is turned on (step S3701: Yes), and performs the process when the RAM erase switch 92 is not turned on (step S3701: No). The process proceeds to step S3704.

<Steps S3702 and S3703>
When the RAM erase switch 92 is turned on (step S3701: Yes), the MPU 41 clears the used area of the RAM 412 to 0 (step S3702) and executes the initialization process of the RAM 412 (step S3703).

<Step S3704>
When the RAM erase switch 92 is not turned on (step S3701: No), the MPU 41 executes a power recovery process for returning to the state when the power to the game machine 10 was cut off last time (step S3704). Specifically, in the power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the RAM 412 is written to the stack pointer of the MPU 41, and the data saved in the RAM 412 is returned to the register of the MPU 41 to return the state of the register of the MPU 41. Is restored to the state before the power was cut off.

<Step S3705>
When the processing of steps S3702 and S3703 is executed, or when the processing of step S3704 is executed, the MPU 41 sets a power cut type command (step S3705) and ends the power-on processing. The power failure type command is a command that notifies the voice lamp control device 5 whether the power switch 91 is in the on state or the off state when the power to the game machine 10 is cut off last time. Here, since the power-on processing is a processing executed when the power switch 91 is in the off state when the power to the gaming machine 10 is cut off last time, an off-power cut command is set in step S3705. This off power cut command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the external output process of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. 76. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 can grasp that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91.

[Processing when recovering from power failure]
The power failure recovery process of the present embodiment is started when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is on, and the power supply to the power supply unit 94 is started from the equipment power supply PS. It is a process to be performed. That is, it is a process executed when the power supply to the game machine 10 is restored regardless of whether the power switch 91 is turned on. Here, FIG. 80 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the power failure recovery process executed in the power recovery main process of FIG. 78.

<Steps S3801 and S3802>
As shown in FIG. 80, in the power failure recovery process of the present embodiment, the MPU 41 first calculates the determination value of the RAM 3801 (step S3801), and the determination value is the determination value in step S3507 of the power cutoff process of FIG. 77. It is determined whether or not it is normal by comparing it with the determination value of the calculated and saved RAM 412 (step S3802). The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3803 when the determination value of the RAM 412 is normal (step S3802: Yes), and shifts the process to step S3804 when the determination value of the RAM 412 is not normal (step S3802: No).

<Step S3803>
When the determination value of the RAM 412 is normal (step S3802: Yes), the MPU 41 executes a power recovery process for returning to the state when the power to the game machine 10 was cut off last time (step S3803). Specifically, in the power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the RAM 412 is written to the stack pointer of the MPU 41, and the data saved in the RAM 412 is returned to the register of the MPU 41 to return the state of the register of the MPU 41. Is restored to the state before the power was cut off.

<Steps S3804 and S3805>
If the determination value of the RAM 412 is not normal (step S3802: No), the MPU 41 clears the used area of the RAM 412 to 0 (step S3804) and executes the initialization process of the RAM 412 (step S3805).

<Step S3806>
When the process of step S3803 is executed, or when the processes of steps S3804 and S3805 are executed, the MPU 41 sets a power failure type command (step S3806), and ends the power failure recovery process. The power failure type command is a command that notifies the voice lamp control device 5 whether the power switch 91 is in the on state or the off state when the power to the game machine 10 is cut off last time. Here, since the power failure recovery process is a process executed when the power switch 91 is in the ON state when the power to the game machine 10 is cut off last time, an ON power cut command is set in step S3806. This on-off command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5 in the external output process of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. 76. As a result, the voice lamp control device 5 can grasp that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off in the on state regardless of whether the power switch 91 is turned off.

As described above, in the power recovery process, the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off is based on the type of the switch state flag set according to the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off in the power cutoff process shown in FIG. Can be grasped. As a result, when the power is restored (after the power is restored), the main control device 4 and the audio lamp control device 5 can execute different processes depending on the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off.

Specifically, when the power is restored, the main control device 4 executes different processes according to the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, so that the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off (power interruption type). Different commands (off power cut command, on power cut command) can be set according to the above, and the command can be transmitted to the voice lamp control device 5.

On the other hand, when the power is restored (after the power is restored), the voice lamp control device 5 executes a process according to the type of the received power cut type command (state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off). Becomes possible. Specifically, as will be described later, when the power is restored (after the power is restored), when the voice lamp control device 5 receives a command indicating the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, it is specified from this command. It is specified by a command (switch power cut command, non-switch power cut command) indicating the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off and the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, which is transmitted from the main control device 4 when the power is cut off. It is determined whether there is any inconsistency with the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off, and if there is an inconsistency, error processing is executed.

[Processing of audio lamp control device 5]
In the voice lamp control device 5 of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, processing based on a command according to the state of the power switch 91 at the time of power cutoff transmitted from the main control device 4 at the time of power cutoff and power return is executed. Will be done.

[Command judgment processing]
In the command determination process of the present embodiment, the process of restricting the execution of the specific effect based on the command according to the state of the power switch 91 at the time of power cut, which is transmitted from the main control device 4 at the time of power cut, and the power switch 91 are turned off. A command indicating the state of the power switch 91 at the time of power cutoff, which is transmitted from the main control device 4 at the time of power cutoff, the process of stopping the movable accessory member 342 at the operating position in the case of power supply cutoff, and power supply cutoff. The process of confirming the consistency (power failure type verification process) is executed. Here, FIG. 81 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the command determination process executed in the sub-timer interrupt process of FIG. 34 by the voice lamp control device 5.

<Step S3901>
As shown in FIG. 81, when a command is received (step S2101: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the received command is a switch power cut command (step S3901). Here, the switch power cut command is a command indicating that the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91. This switch power cut command is set in step S3502 of the power cutoff process by the main control device 4 of FIG. 77. That is, in step S3901, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91. Then, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3902 when the received command is a switch power failure command (step S3901: Yes), and performs the process when the received command is not a switch power failure command (step S3901: No). The process proceeds to step S3906.

<Step S3902>
When the received command is a switch power cut command (step S3901: Yes), that is, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, the MPU 51 sets the RTC effect restriction flag to on. (Step S3902).

The RTC effect restriction flag manages the execution timing (time) of the RTC effect (real-time clock (RTC)) that is executed when a predetermined time elapses (for example, a specific time) after the power of the game machine 10 is restored. It is an effect, and is a flag that limits the execution of, for example, an effect that is executed every predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours). This RTC effect restriction flag is set by the RAM 512 of the MPU 51 in the main process (startup process) executed in the voice lamp control device 5 when the power is restored before the execution of the sub-timer interrupt process is permitted after the power is restored. It is set as a flag that is not turned off even if it is initialized. That is, in the MPU 51, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, the RTC effect is executed when the variable game can be executed by turning on the power switch 91 next time. Prevent it from being done. That is, when the power supply to the next game machine 10 is scheduled to be performed by turning on the power switch 91, the execution of the RTC effect is restricted when the variable game can be executed by turning on the power switch 91 next time. Will be done.

Here, when the power switch 91 is individually turned on for each game machine 10 when a plurality of the same models for which the RTC effect is executed are installed in the island equipment of the game hall, the power is turned on for each game machine 10. The timing is different. Therefore, when the power switch 91 is individually turned on for each game machine 10, the timing at which the RTC effect is executed differs for each game machine 10. As for the RTC effect, in addition to the image effect on the symbol display unit 341, the music is generally output from the speaker 26. Therefore, if the timing at which the RTC effect is executed is different, not only the image effect between the game machines 10 is shifted and it is annoying, but also the output timing of the music is shifted between the game machines 10 and the music becomes jarring. , May cause discomfort to the player.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the power switch 91 is individually turned on for each game machine 10, the execution of the RTC effect is restricted. Therefore, the RTC effect is not executed at different timings for each game machine 10, and the RTC effect does not cause discomfort to the player.

In the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, the RTC effect restriction flag is set to ON in the command determination process, but the RTC effect limit flag is set. May be set to ON in the power cutoff process (power cutoff process) executed by the voice lamp control device 5 when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, or is set to on from the next power supply return. It may be set to ON in the main process (startup process) executed in the voice lamp control device 5 when the power is restored before the execution of the timer interrupt process is permitted.

<Step S3903>
In step S3903, the MPU 51 sets the deferred effect restriction flag to off. The deferred effect restriction flag will be described in detail when the step S3907 described later is described. However, by setting the deferred effect restriction flag to off in this step S3903, the power switch 91 is turned off to move to the game machine 10. When the power of the game machine 10 is restored after the power supply of the game machine 10 is cut off, the stationary effect is executed without limitation.

<Steps S3904 and S3905>
In step S3904, the MPU 51 is driven so that the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the standby position, and further, the movable accessory member operation flag is set to off (step S3905), and the command determination process is performed. finish.

Here, the movable accessory member operation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position, and the power supply is performed from the time when the power is restored to before the execution of the sub-timer interrupt process is permitted. It is set as a flag that is not turned off even if the RAM 512 of the MPU 51 is initialized in the main process (startup process) executed by the voice lamp control device 5 with the return. Further, the movable accessory member operation flag is the power cut information when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off and the power cut information when the power of the game machine 10 is restored in the power cut type collation process of FIG. 82, which will be described later. Referenced to compare.

In the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the standby position. Therefore, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, and when the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the standby position, the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91. You can see that. As a result, the game hall side confirms the position (state) of the movable accessory member 342 in a state where the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, so that the power switch 91 is turned off to supply power to the game machine 10. Can be confirmed to have been blocked.

In the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the standby position when the power supply is cut off. On the contrary, the movable accessory member 342 may be stopped at the standby position when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off regardless of whether the power switch 91 is turned off. Further, the timing at which the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the standby position may be the next time when the power is restored after the power supply is cut off.

<Step S3906>
If the received command is not a switch power cut command (step S3901: No), the MPU 51 determines whether the received command is a non-switch power cut command (step S3906). Here, the non-switch power cut command is a command indicating that the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91 and keeping it on. This non-switch power cut command is set in step S3504 of the power cutoff process by the main control device 4 of FIG. 77. That is, in step S3906, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is turned on without being turned off. Then, when the received command is a non-switch power failure command (step S3906: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3907, and when the received command is not a non-switch power failure command (step S3906: No). The process proceeds to step S3911.

<Step S3907>
When the received command is a non-switch power cut command (step S3906: Yes), that is, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91 and in the on state, the deferred effect is restricted. The flag is set to on (step S3907), and the command determination process ends.

It should be noted that the deferred effect restriction flag does not change from the game setting value of the previous game hall business day to the game setting value of the day (see FIGS. 14 (A) and 14 (B)) (the game setting value is deferred). It is a flag that limits the execution of the deferred effect that the player can grasp (the same). This deferred effect restriction flag is set by the RAM 512 of the MPU 51 in the main process (startup process) executed in the voice lamp control device 5 when the power is restored before the execution of the sub-timer interrupt process is permitted after the power is restored. It is set as a flag that is not turned off even if it is initialized. That is, in the MPU 51, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91, the deferred effect is executed when the variable game can be executed by returning the power supply. It is restricted so that it will not be done.

Here, in a game machine in which the game hall side can set the game setting value from a plurality of game setting values having different jackpot winning probabilities in the big hit lottery, an effect of clearly or suggesting the game setting value may be executed. Therefore, if the power to the game machine is cut off due to a power failure during the operation of the game hall, the player may know that the game setting value is deferred depending on the content of the effect. Therefore, for example, when it is judged from the game history for the previous game hall business day that the game setting value (big hit lottery probability) is likely to be low, the player grasps that the game setting value is deferred. , The interest in the game is reduced.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91, the variable game can be executed by returning the power supply. It is restricted so that the deferred effect is not executed. Therefore, even if the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing that the game set value is deferred. Therefore, even if it is determined from the game history for the previous game hall business day that the game set value (big hit lottery probability) is likely to be low, it is possible to prevent the game from being less enjoyable.

In the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91, the deferred effect restriction flag is set to on in the command determination process. , The deferred effect restriction flag may be set to ON in the power cutoff process (power cutoff process) executed in the voice lamp control device 5 when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, or the next time. It may be set to ON in the main process (startup process) executed by the voice lamp control device 5 when the power is restored before the execution of the sub timer interrupt process is permitted after the power is restored.

<Step S3908>
In step S3908, the MPU 51 sets the RTC effect restriction flag to off. As a result, when the power switch 91 is turned on and the power is restored after the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, the RTC effect is executed without limitation. That is, after the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off while the power switch 91 is on, the power is returned to the game machines 10 of the same island equipment in the game hall all at once, so that the RTC effect is restricted. It is executed without.

<Steps S3909 and S3910>
In step S3909, the MPU 51 is driven so that the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position, and further, the movable accessory member operating flag is set to ON (step S3910), and the command determination process is performed. finish.

Here, the movable accessory member operation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position, and the power supply is performed from the time when the power is restored to before the execution of the sub-timer interrupt process is permitted. It is set as a flag that is not turned off even if the RAM 512 of the MPU 51 is initialized in the main process (startup process) executed by the voice lamp control device 5 with the return. Further, the movable accessory member operation flag compares the power interruption information when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off and the information when the power of the game machine 10 is restored in the power interruption type collation process of FIG. 82, which will be described later. Referenced to.

In the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off without turning off the power switch 91, the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position. Therefore, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, and when the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position, the power switch 91 is not turned off and remains on. It can be visually recognized that the power supply to 10 is cut off. As a result, the game hall side confirms the position (state) of the movable accessory member 342 in a state where the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off, so that the power switch 91 is turned on without being turned off. It can be confirmed that the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off as it is, for example, the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off due to a goto action.

In the present embodiment, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off regardless of whether the power switch 91 is turned off, the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position when the power supply is cut off. On the contrary, when the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off by turning off the power switch 91, the movable accessory member 342 may be stopped at the operating position. Further, the timing at which the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position may be the next time when the power is restored after the power supply is cut off. In this case, the stop at the operating position of the movable accessory member 342 may be before the operation check of the movable accessory member 342 started by returning the power supply, or after the operation check of the movable accessory member 342. It may be.

<Steps S3911 and S3912>
When the received command is not a non-switch power failure command (step S3906: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the received command is a power failure type command (off power failure command or on power failure command) (step). S3911). Here, the power failure type command is a command indicating whether the power switch 91 was in the on state or the off state when the power was cut off to the game machine 10 last time, and when the power of the main process is turned on when the power is restored in FIG. 78. It is set as an off power cut command in the process (step S3705 of FIG. 79) or as an on power cut command in the power failure recovery process (step S3806 of FIG. 80) of the main process when the power is restored in FIG. 78. That is, the power cut type command is a command set when the power of the game machine 10 is restored, and indicates the type of power cutoff before the power is restored, which is determined by the main control board 4 when the power of the game machine 10 is restored. ..

Then, when the received command is a power cut type command (off power cut command or on power cut command) (step S3911: Yes), the MPU 51 is cut off based on the power cut type specified by the power cut type command. The off flag is set (step S3912), and the process proceeds to step S3913. Specifically, the MPU 51 sets the power cut off flag on when the received command is an off power cut command, and sets the power cut off flag off when the received command is an on power cut command. That is, when the MPU 51 receives the power cut type command, the MPU 51 sets a power cut off flag that reflects the power cut type before the power is restored, which is determined by the main control board 4 when the power of the game machine 10 is restored.

On the other hand, when the received command is not a power interruption type command (step S3911: No), the MPU 51 executes processing according to the type of the received command (steps S2102 to S2122) as in the first embodiment described above. ), Terminates the command determination process.

<Step S3913>
In step S3913, the MPU 51 executes the power failure type collation process and ends the command determination process. The details of the power failure type collation process will be described below.

[Power failure type verification processing]
In the power cut type collation process of the present embodiment, a process of confirming the consistency between the commands indicating the state of the power switch 91 at the time of power cut, which is transmitted from the main control device 4 at the time of power cut and power recovery, is executed. .. Here, FIG. 82 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the power failure type collation process executed in the command determination process of FIG. 81.

<Steps S4001 and S4002>
In the power interruption type collation process of the present embodiment, the MPU 51 first determines whether or not the power interruption off flag is on (step S4001). Here, the power cut off flag is a flag that reflects the type of power cutoff before the power supply is restored, which is determined by the main control board 4 when the power supply of the game machine 10 is restored. That is, in the MPU 51, whether or not the type of power cutoff before the power supply is restored, which is determined by the main control board 4 when the power supply of the game machine 10 is restored, is that the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is due to the power switch 91 being turned off. To judge.

Then, when the power interruption off flag is on (step S4001: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the power interruption off flag to off (step S4002), and shifts the process to step S4003. On the other hand, when the power interruption off flag is off (step S4001: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S4006.

<Steps S4003 to S4005>
In step S4003, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the movable accessory member operation flag is set to off. This movable accessory member operation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position. Further, the movable accessory member operation flag is set to be turned on when the movable accessory member 342 is operated in step S3910 of the command determination process because the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off. The power is cut off to the game machine 10 by turning off the power switch 91, so that the movable accessory member 342 is set to off when the movable accessory member 342 is not operated. That is, in this step S4003, when the MPU 51 determines that the power cutoff to the game machine 10 before the power is restored by the main control device 4 when the power of the game machine 10 is restored is due to the power switch 91 being turned off. (Step S4001: Yes), it is determined based on the movable accessory operating member operation flag whether or not the power cutoff to the game machine 10 before the current power return in the game machine 10 is due to the turning off of the power switch 91. .. That is, in this step S4003, the MPU 51 verifies whether or not the factor of the power cutoff determined at the time of power restoration this time and the factor of the power supply interruption determined at the time of power interruption before the power restoration are matched. ..

Then, when the movable accessory member operation flag is set to off (step S4003: Yes), the MPU 51 ends the power interruption type collation process. That is, in the case of the MPU 51, when the factor of the power cutoff determined at the time of the power return this time and the factor of the power cutoff determined before the power return are both due to the turning off of the power switch 91, they are the same. Since it can be determined that the cause of the power cutoff is normal, the power failure type collation process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the movable accessory member operation flag is set to on (step S4003: No), the MPU 51 sets the movable accessory member operation flag to off (step S4004), and shifts the process to step S4005. That is, if the factor of the power cutoff determined at the time of power restoration this time and the factor of the power supply cutoff determined at the time of power interruption before the power restoration do not match, the MPU 51 executes error processing (step S4005). , Ends the power failure type collation process.

In the error processing, for example, an error notification is performed to the effect that the power cutoff factor determined at the time of power recovery this time and the power cutoff factor determined before power recovery do not match. As the error notification, for example, notification by an error image on the symbol display unit 341 and notification by voice output on the speaker 26 can be considered. In this way, by providing an error notification that the power cutoff factor determined when the power is restored this time and the power cutoff factor determined when the power is cut off before the power is restored do not match, the game hall side is the game machine. Since the power cutoff abnormality of 10 can be grasped, it becomes possible to deal with the power cutoff abnormality. For example, when it can be determined that there is no problem on the game hall side in the situation (power cutoff type) at the time of error notification, it is desirable to allow the execution of the game so that the error can be cleared. For error cancellation, for example, it is conceivable that the game machine 10 is provided with an error release button, and the error release button is operated by the game hall side to release the error. As a result, if an error occurs in which the power cutoff factor determined when the power is restored this time and the power cutoff factor determined when the power is cut off before the power is restored occur, the game hall side cancels the error. Will be possible. Further, the error is released not only by the error release button but also by another method. For example, the error may be cleared by turning on the power switch 91 after turning it off, or by operating the RAM erase switch 92. That is, when an error occurs, the error may be cleared by the game hall side performing a predetermined operation on the game machine 10.

In the error processing, it is conceivable to clear the used area of the RAM 512 of the MPU 51 and execute the initialization processing of the RAM 512. By clearing the used area of the RAM 512 of the MPU 51 and executing the initialization process of the RAM 512 in this way, it is possible to deal with the power cutoff abnormality in the game machine 10 without bothering the game hall side.

Further, as the error processing, the progress of the variable game may be stopped (restricted). For example, as error processing, non-execution of the jackpot lottery, non-notification of the jackpot lottery result (for example, non-variation of special symbols and decorative symbols), suspension of launch of the game ball 99, and the like can be considered. In this way, since the error processing stops the progress of the variable game, the factor of the power cutoff judged at the time of the power return this time and the factor of the power cutoff judged at the time of the power cutoff before the power return are matched. It is prevented that the game proceeds in a state where an error that does not occur occurs. On the other hand, when the error is cleared, a process for allowing the progress of the variable game (release of the restriction) is executed.

Further, the error processing may be an execution restriction of a predetermined effect such as an RTC effect or a demo screen. In this way, since the error processing is the execution limit of the specified effect, the effect of outputting the sound such as music from the speaker 26 is restricted as in the RTC effect, for example, so that the error notification is notified. The inconvenience that the audio output cannot be heard due to the specified effect is prevented. In addition, when the prescribed effect is a demo screen effect, it is prevented that the player misunderstands that the game can be executed and starts the game, and the error screen is prevented from being hidden by the demo screen. Will be done. On the other hand, when the error is cleared, a process (removal of restriction) that allows the execution of the specified effect is executed.

<Step S4006 and Step S4007>
When the power interruption off flag is off (step S4001: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the movable accessory member operation flag is set to on (step S4006). As described above, the movable accessory member operation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position. Further, the movable accessory member operation flag is set to be turned on when the movable accessory member 342 is operated in step S3910 of the command determination process because the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off. The power is cut off to the game machine 10 by turning off the power switch 91, so that the movable accessory member 342 is set to off when the movable accessory member 342 is not operated. That is, in this step S4003, when the MPU 51 determines that the power cutoff to the game machine 10 before the power restoration is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off by the main control device 4 when the power of the game machine 10 is restored ( Step S4001: No), it is determined based on the movable accessory operating member operation flag whether or not the power cutoff to the game machine 10 before the power return of the game machine 10 this time is due to the power switch 91 being turned off. To do. That is, in this step S4006, the MPU 51 verifies whether or not the power cutoff factor determined at the time of power restoration this time and the power cutoff factor determined before power restoration are consistent.

Then, when the movable accessory member operation flag is set to on (step S4006: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the movable accessory member operation flag to off (step S4007), and ends the power interruption type collation process. To do. That is, in the MPU 51, when the factor of the power cutoff determined at the time of the power return this time and the factor of the power cutoff determined before the power return are both not due to the turning off of the power switch 91, they are the same. Since it can be determined that the cause of the power cutoff is normal, the power failure type collation process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the movable accessory member operation flag is set to off (step S4006: No), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S4005. That is, if the factor of the power cutoff determined at the time of power restoration this time and the factor of the power supply cutoff determined at the time of power interruption before the power restoration do not match, the MPU 51 executes error processing (step S4005). , Ends the power failure type collation process. The error handling is as described above.

In the present embodiment, the power interruption type collation process is executed in the command determination process, but the power interruption type collation process accompanies the power return from the time when the power is restored to before the execution of the sub-timer interrupt process is permitted. It may be executed in the main process (start-up process) executed in the voice lamp control device 5.

Further, in the present embodiment, the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off is determined based on the movable accessory member operation flag, but other than the movable accessory member operation flag indicating the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off. A flag may be set, and the state of the power switch 91 when the power is cut off may be determined based on the flag.

As described above, the present embodiment includes a power cut switch state detection unit 91a that detects at least one of the on state and the off state of the power switch of the game machine. Further, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment confirms at least one of the on state and the off state of the power switch 91 based on the detection result of the power failure switch state detection unit 91a when the power is cut off. Thereby, it is possible to distinguish whether the power cutoff is due to the power switch being turned off or not due to the power switch being turned off. Therefore, by sending a command that can identify the cause of the cutoff to the audio lamp control device when the power is cut off or when the power is restored, the set value is deferred when the power cutoff is not due to the power switch being turned off. It is possible to limit the execution of the effect that the player knows that the set value has not been changed from the previous day). This prevents the player from knowing that the set value is deferred from the production content, for example, when it is determined from the game history of the previous day that the set value (big hit lottery probability) is likely to be low. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the game. In addition, in the case of a power outage or the interruption of power supply to the island equipment of the game hall can be grasped on the game hall side, if the power interruption is not due to the power switch being turned off, goto. The game hall side can grasp that the act has occurred. This makes it possible to deter the act of goto.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the power cutoff is performed by the power switch 91 by sending a command capable of identifying the cause of the cutoff from the main control device 4 to the voice lamp control device 5 when the power is cut off or when the power is restored. If it does not depend on turning off, the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position. In this way, when the power cutoff is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off, the movable accessory member 342 is stopped at the operating position, so that the power switch causes the power cutoff on the game hall side. It can be visually recognized from the state of the game machine 10 (the position of the movable accessory member 342) that it does not depend on 91 off. As a result, the game hall side can easily detect the occurrence of the goto act.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the power cutoff to the game machine is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off, error processing such as error notification is executed when the power is restored. In this way, when the power cutoff to the game machine is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off, error processing such as error notification is executed when the power is restored, so that the game hall side sends the game machine 10 to the game machine 10. It can be understood that the power cutoff is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off, for example, the power supply to the game machine 10 is cut off due to a power failure or a goto action. As a result, the game hall side can deal with the fact that the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is due to the power switch being turned off, the execution of the RTC effect (specific effect) is restricted, and the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is the power switch 91 off. The execution of the deferred effect (predetermined effect) is restricted when it does not depend on it. As described above, when the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is due to the power switch 91 being turned off, the execution of the RTC effect is restricted, and the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is not caused by the power switch 91 being turned off. In some cases, the execution of the deferred effect is restricted, so that when the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is due to the power switch 91 being turned off, the RTC effect is executed, causing a shift in the execution timing of the RTC effect. When the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is not due to the power switch 91 being turned off, the execution of the stationary effect prevents the player from grasping the game set value.

Of course, the specific effect limited when the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is due to the power switch being turned off may be not limited to the RTC effect but may be another effect, and the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is the power switch. The predetermined effect limited to the case where the 91 is not off is not limited to the stationary effect, but may be another effect. Further, when the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is due to the power switch being turned off, the execution of a predetermined effect (for example, a stationary effect) is allowed, and the power cutoff to the game machine 10 is not caused by the power switch 91 being turned off. If this is the case, the execution of the specific effect (RTC effect) may be allowed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the specific effect or the predetermined effect is restricted in the sound lamp control device 5 when the power is cut off, based on the command transmitted from the main control device 4 to the voice lamp control device 5 when the power is cut off. However, when the power is cut off, the main control device 4 transmits a power cut type command to the voice lamp control device 5, and based on the power cut type command, the voice lamp control device 5 executes a specific effect or a predetermined effect when the power is restored. It may be limited, and when the power is restored, the main control device 4 sends a power cut type command to the voice lamp control device 5, and based on the power cut type command, the voice lamp control device 5 gives a specific effect or a predetermined effect when the power is restored. The execution of the effect may be restricted.

Further, in the present embodiment, the same design changes as those in the above-mentioned first to fifth embodiments can be made within the applicable range.
