The guide rail is configured as. The game ball launched from the game ball launch mechanism 27 (see FIG. 2) attached below the window hole 23 in the resin base 21 is guided to the upper part of the game area PA by the guide rail.

Incidentally, the game ball launch mechanism 27 has a launch rail 27a extending toward the guide rail, a ball feeding device 27b for supplying the game ball stored in the upper plate 65a described later onto the launch rail 27a, and the launch rail 27a. It is provided with a solenoid 27c, which is an electric actuator that launches the game ball supplied to the guide rail toward the guide rail. The solenoid 27c is driven and controlled by the rotation operation of the launch operation device (or operation handle) 28 provided on the front door frame 14, and the game ball is launched.

The game board 24 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in the front-rear direction. Each opening has a general winning unit 31, a first operating unit 32, a second operating unit 33, a through winning unit 34, a special winning device 35, a special electric winning device 36, a variable display unit 37, a special drawing unit 38, and a general drawing unit. 39 etc. are provided respectively. A total of three general winning units 31 are provided, and one each is provided for the others.

Even if a ball is entered into the through winning unit 34, the game ball is not paid out. On the other hand, when a ball is entered into any of the general winning unit 31, the first operating unit 32, the second operating unit 33, the special winning device 35, and the special electric winning device 36, the number of game media that can be used by the player is determined. A predetermined number of game balls are paid out in order to increase the number. Specifically, regarding the number of prize balls, when a ball is entered into the general winning unit 31, 10 game balls are paid out, and when a ball is entered into the first operating unit 32, the balls are paid out. When three game balls are paid out and one game ball is paid out when the ball enters the second operating unit 33, and one game ball is paid out and the special prize device 35 is paid out. Is executed to pay out 11 game balls, and when a ball is entered into the special electric winning device 36, 15 game balls are paid out.

The number of prize balls is arbitrary, and for example, the number of prize balls in the first operating unit 32 and the second operating unit 33 may be the same. Further, the number of prize balls of the special prize device 35 may be less than 11 or more than 11. Further, the number of prize balls of the special prize device 35 is not limited to a configuration smaller than the number of prize balls of the special electric prize device 36, and the number of prize balls of the special prize device 35 and the number of prize balls of the special electric prize device 36 are different. The configuration may be the same, and the number of prize balls in the special winning device 35 may be larger than the number of prize balls in the special electric winning device 36.

In addition, an out port 24a is provided at the lowermost portion of the game board 24, and a game ball that does not enter various winning openings or the like is discharged from the game area PA through the out opening 24a. Further, the game board 24 is provided with a large number of nails 24b in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and is provided with various members such as a windmill.

Here, the entry ball means that the game ball passes through a predetermined opening, and not only is the ball discharged from the game area PA after passing through the opening, but also from the game area PA after passing through the opening. A mode in which the flow of the game area PA is continued without being discharged is also included. However, in the following description, in order to clearly distinguish the ball from entering the game ball into the out port 24a, the general winning unit 31, the first operating unit 32, the second operating unit 33, the through winning unit 34, and the special winning device The entry of a game ball into the 35 and the special electric winning device 36 is also referred to as a winning.

The variable display unit 37 is provided so as to include the central portion of the game area PA. Since the peripheral edge of the variable display unit 37 projects forward of the pachinko machine 10 from the surface of the game board 24, the area where the game ball launched into the game area PA can flow down is partitioned. Specifically, in the game area PA, the upper region PA1 which is an region above the predetermined height position of the variable display unit 37 and the upper region PA1 which is continuously below the variable display unit 37 and above the variable display unit 37. The left region PA2, which is the left region, the right region PA3, which is a region to the right of the variable display unit 37 and is continuous below the upper region PA1, and the left region PA2 and the right region PA3, respectively. On the other hand, it is continuously divided into a lower region PA4 which is a region below the variable display unit 37.

As the first launch operation, the player operates the launch operation device 28 with a rotation amount in the first range that is less than the reference rotation amount, so that the game ball is moved to the left of the center position in the lateral direction in the upper region PA1. Start to flow down. In this case, the game ball flows down in the order of the upper region PA1 → the left region PA2 → the lower region PA4. On the other hand, as the second launch operation, the player operates the launch operation device 28 with a rotation amount in the second range that is equal to or greater than the reference rotation amount, so that the upper region PA1 is on the right side of the center position in the lateral direction. The game ball begins to flow down. In this case, the game ball flows down in the order of the upper region PA1 → the right region PA3 → the lower region PA4. That is, by adjusting the rotation operation amount of the launch operation device 28, the player can play the game so that the game ball flows down the left side area PA2 of the left side area PA2 and the right side area PA3, and the right side area. The game can be performed so that the game ball flows down the PA3. By the way, when the launch operation device 28 is operated with the maximum rotation amount, the game ball flows down in the order of the upper region PA1 → the right region PA3 → the lower region PA4.

The first actuating portion 32 is installed in the lower region PA4. The first actuating portion 32 is open upward, and is not provided with a member such as an opening / closing member for preventing the game ball from entering the first actuating portion 32. Then, in the situation where the game ball is launched in the same mode, the probability of winning the first operating unit 32 is constant regardless of the game state. In other words, the first operating unit 32 is always capable of entering a game ball that flows down the game area PA toward the first operating unit 32.

The first operating portion 32 is arranged directly below the stage 37a formed on the variable display unit 37. Further, the variable display unit 37 is provided with a pair of left and right introduction ports 37b, and the variable display unit 37 guides the game ball that has entered the introduction port 37b onto the stage 37a. A guide passage (not shown) is formed. The game ball that has flowed into the stage 37a through the guidance passage and is discharged from the lateral center of the stage 37a to the outside of the variable display unit 37 is likely to win a prize in the first operating unit 32. .. The first operating unit 32 is provided with a detection sensor (not shown), and the detection sensor detects a game ball that has won a prize in the first operating unit 32. The detection sensor is electrically connected to the main control device 70, which will be described later, and the main control device 70 grasps whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the first operating unit 32 based on the received signal.

The position where the first operating portion 32 is provided in the lower region PA4 is a position where a game ball flowing down the left region PA2 can enter, and a game ball flowing down the right region PA3 can enter. It is a position. As a result, either when the launch operation device 28 is operated so that the game ball flows down the left side area PA2, or when the launch operation device 28 is operated so that the game ball flows down the right side area PA3. Even if there is, it is possible to win a prize in the first operating unit 32. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the launch operation device 28 is provided so that the game ball flows down the right side area PA3 by providing a restricting nail or the like in the middle of the flow area from the right side area PA3 to the first operating portion 32. When is operated, the first operating unit 32 may not be able to win a prize.

The second actuating portion 33 is arranged in the right side region PA3. That is, the second operating unit 33 cannot win a prize when the launch operation device 28 is operated so that the game ball flows down the left region PA2, and the launch operation is performed so that the game ball flows down the right region PA3. A prize can be won when the device 28 is operated. The second actuating portion 33 is opened upward like the first actuating portion 32, and is not provided with a member such as an opening / closing member for preventing the game ball from entering the second actuating portion 33. Then, in the situation where the game ball is launched in the same manner, the probability of winning the second operating unit 33 is constant regardless of the game state. In other words, the second operating unit 33 is capable of constantly entering a game ball that flows down the game area PA toward the second operating unit 33. The second operating unit 33 is provided with a detection sensor (not shown), and the detection sensor detects a game ball that has won a prize in the second operating unit 33. The detection sensor is electrically connected to the main control device 70, which will be described later, and the main control device 70 grasps whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the second operating unit 33 based on the received signal.

In the right side region PA3, on the upstream side of the second operating portion 33, nails 24b are arranged so as to guide the game ball flowing down the upstream region toward the second operating portion 33, and other nails 24b are arranged. There is no ball entry section. Therefore, the game ball flowing down the right side region PA3 can easily enter the second operating portion 33. Specifically, the probability of the game ball flowing into the right region PA3 entering the second operating portion 33 is higher than the probability of the game ball flowing into the lower region PA4 entering the first operating portion 32. As described above, the second actuating portion 33 and the peripheral nail 24b are provided. However, not all the game balls that have flowed into the right area PA3 enter the second operating unit 33, and the number of game balls that have flowed into the right area PA3 is approximately one in a predetermined number (for example, five). The ball is inserted into the two actuating portions 33.

The special winning device 35 is arranged in the left side region PA2. That is, the special winning device 35 cannot win a prize when the launch operation device 28 is operated so that the game ball flows down the right area PA3, and the launch operation device 35 causes the game ball to flow down the left area PA2. If 28 is operated, a prize can be won. The special winning device 35 can be switched between a non-accepted state in which the game ball cannot be entered and an accepted state in which the game ball can be entered.

The configuration of the special winning device 35 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b) in addition to FIG. FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view of the special winning device 35 and its surroundings in the non-accepted state, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view of the special winning device 35 and its surroundings in the accepted state.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the base body 41 is provided so as to project forward of the pachinko machine 10 from the surface of the game board 24. In the base body 41, the ball receiving surface 44 that forms the upper surface of the region protruding forward of the pachinko machine 10 from the surface of the game board 24 extends in the lateral direction, and the lateral dimension thereof is equivalent to two game balls. As mentioned above, in more detail, it is about four game balls.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the inlet portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 is formed on the left side of the ball receiving surface 44 so as to open upward. The entrance portion 42a has an opening area of one game ball or more and less than two game balls, and although one game ball can enter the entrance portion 42a, It is not possible for a plurality of game balls to enter the entrance portion 42a at the same time.

As shown in FIG. 3, the discharge passage 42 is formed so as to extend vertically downward from the inlet portion 42a, and the passage direction is directed toward the rear of the pachinko machine 10 at an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the base body 41. It has been changed on the way. The game ball that has entered the entrance portion 42a is guided to the back side of the game board 24 by passing through the discharge passage 42, guided to the back side of the game board 24, and then discharged downward. A detection sensor 45 is provided at an intermediate position of the discharge passage 42. The detection sensor 45 detects a game ball that has entered the discharge passage 42, that is, a game ball that has entered the special winning device 35. The detection sensor 45 is electrically connected to a main control device 70, which will be described later, and the main control device 70 grasps whether or not a game ball has won a prize in the special winning device 35 based on a received signal.

An opening / closing member 43 is provided as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B so as to open / close the inlet portion 42a. The opening / closing member 43 is inserted into a through hole 46 formed so as to penetrate the game board 24 in the front-rear direction. By moving the opening / closing member 43 in the front-rear direction along the through hole 46, as shown in FIG. 4A, the opening / closing member 43 faces the entire inlet portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 from above and reaches the inlet portion 42a. The non-accepting position that blocks the entry of the game ball and the entrance portion 42a by retracting from the blocking position to the rear of the pachinko machine 10 so as not to face the entire entrance portion 42a. It is possible to switch between the receiving position and the receiving position where the pachinko ball can be inserted.

An opening / closing drive unit 47 is provided on the back side of the game board 24 to move the opening / closing member 43. The opening / closing drive unit 47 is electrically connected to the main control device 70, which will be described later. When the opening / closing drive unit 47 is in the non-driving state, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the non-accepting position by the urging force of an urging means such as a spring (not shown), and the opening / closing drive unit 47 is put into the driving state to bring the opening / closing member 43 into the driving state. Is placed at the receiving position by being displaced against the urging force of the urging means. The state in which the opening / closing member 43 is arranged in the non-accepting position is the non-accepting state of the special winning device 35, and the state in which the opening / closing member 43 is arranged in the receiving position is the receiving state of the special winning device 35.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the opening / closing member 43 is inclined downward toward the right. Further, the region to the right of the opening / closing member 43 arranged at the non-reception position on the ball receiving surface 44 is also inclined downward to the right. Further, an upright wall 48 is integrally formed at the left end of the upper portion of the base body 41 by erecting upward from the ball receiving surface 44. The upright wall 48 has a height dimension of one or more game balls, and specifically, a height dimension of about two game balls. With the above configuration, in a situation where the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at a non-accepting position as shown in FIG. 4A, the game ball that has reached above the opening / closing member 43 moves to the left on the upright wall 48. The special winning device 35 is guided to the right by flowing down by its own weight along the inclination of the upper surface of the opening / closing member 43 and the ball receiving surface 44. As shown in FIG. 3, the special winning device 35 is provided so as to be separated from the left end of the variable display unit 37 by one game ball or more to the left, so that the special winning device 35 is provided along the inclination of the upper surface of the opening / closing member 43 and the ball receiving surface 44. The game ball guided to the right of the special winning device 35 flows downward through the space between the special winning device 35 and the variable display unit 37. As a result, the game ball that has reached the special winning device 35 but has not won the special winning device 35 continues to flow down the left side region PA2 and the lower side region PA4 as it is. Then, the game ball that has continued to flow down can enter the first operating unit 32.

A through winning section 34 is provided above the special winning device 35 in the left region PA2. That is, the through winning unit 34 cannot win a prize when the launch operation device 28 is operated so that the game ball flows down the left area PA2, and the launch operation device 34 causes the game ball to flow down the right area PA3. If 28 is operated, a prize can be won. The through winning unit 34 has a through hole penetrating in the vertical direction, and when the game ball passes through the through hole, a prize is generated in the through winning unit 34. Therefore, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 will continue to flow down the game area PA. The through winning unit 34 is provided with a detection sensor (not shown), and the detection sensor detects the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34. The detection sensor is electrically connected to the main control device 70, which will be described later, and the main control device 70 grasps whether or not a game ball has won a prize in the through winning unit 34 based on the received signal.

At a position vertically below the through winning portion 34, there are an inlet portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 in the special winning device 35 and an opening / closing member 43 arranged at a non-accepting position. In this case, the through winning portion 34 is provided at a position separated upward from the entrance portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 and the opening / closing member 43 arranged at the non-accepting position, but in the region between them. Is formed with a first guide region 49a for reliably guiding the game ball winning the through winning portion 34 to the entrance portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 or the opening / closing member 43 arranged at the non-accepting position. The method of forming the first guide region 49a is arbitrary, but in the pachinko machine 10, the first guide region 49a is formed by arranging a plurality of nails 24b and by the upright wall 48 of the special winning device 35. By forming the first guide region 49a, if the opening / closing member 43 is arranged in the non-accepting position, the game ball winning the through winning portion 34 is surely arranged in the non-accepting position. If the opening / closing member 43 reaches the member 43 and the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 surely enters the discharge passage 42.

A second guide region 49b is formed on the upstream side of the through winning portion 34 in the left region PA2 to surely guide the game ball flowing into the left region PA2 from the upper region PA1 to the through winning portion 34. The method of forming the second guide region 49b is arbitrary, but in the pachinko machine 10, the second guide region 49b is formed by arranging a plurality of nails 24b. Since the second guide region 49b is formed, the game ball that has flowed into the left side region PA2 surely wins the through winning portion 34. Since the first guide area 49a is formed between the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 as described above, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 is surely arranged in the non-accepting position. It reaches the opening / closing member 43 or the inlet portion 42a of the discharge passage 42.

Based on the winning of the through winning unit 34, the opening / closing member 43 of the special winning device 35 moves from the non-accepting position to the receiving position. Specifically, an internal lottery is performed triggered by winning a prize in the through winning unit 34, and a normal drawing display of the normal drawing unit 39 provided in the lower right corner, which is an area where the game ball does not pass in the game area PA. In part 39a, display continuation times including variable display of the pattern are performed. Then, the result of the internal lottery is the winning of the acceptance execution state, the stop result corresponding to the result is displayed, and the process shifts to the acceptance execution state after the display continuation times in the general map display unit 39a are completed. In the acceptance execution state, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the acceptance position in a predetermined manner. Only one type of this acceptance execution state is prepared, and the number of times the opening / closing member 43 is placed in the acceptance position and the conditions for returning from the acceptance position to the non-acceptance position when the acceptance execution state is reached regardless of the gaming state. Is constant. Specifically, when the acceptance execution state is set, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged only once at the acceptance position, and the special winning device 35 has an upper limit number (specifically, 10) of game balls on the normal electric side. The position of the opening / closing member 43 can be switched from the receiving position to the non-receiving position when one of the conditions of entering the ball and the elapse of the opening duration (specifically, 0.1 seconds) on the normal electric side is satisfied. ..

The normal figure display unit 39a is composed of a segment display in which a plurality of segment light emitting units are arranged in a predetermined manner. In this case, although it is not possible to perform a complicated display like the symbol display device 51 described later on the normal figure display unit 39a, it is possible to reduce the processing load for controlling the display of the normal figure display unit 39a. Become. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be composed of other types of display devices such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, a CRT or a dot matrix display device. Further, as the pattern displayed on the general drawing display unit 39a, a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of symbols are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, or a configuration in which a plurality of types of colors are displayed. Is displayed.

In the normal drawing unit 39, a normal drawing holding display unit 39b is provided at a position adjacent to the normal drawing display unit 39a. Up to four pieces of information corresponding to the number of game balls that have won the through winning section 34 are held as the holding information on the normal drawing side, and the holding number is displayed by lighting the holding display section 39b of the normal drawing. .. The display range of the normal figure display unit 39a is narrower than the display surface of the symbol display device 51, which will be described later. Further, the display range for both the normal figure display unit 39a and the normal figure hold display unit 39b is also narrower than the display surface of the symbol display device 51. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of attention of the player to the symbol display device 51 as compared with the normal figure display unit 39a and the normal figure hold display unit 39b.

A plurality of types of display continuation periods for one display continuation time are set in the normal map display unit 39a. Specifically, three types of a first display continuation period, a second display continuation period, and a third display continuation period are set. When the first display continuation period is selected, it indicates whether or not the acceptance execution state occurs after the display continuation time is completed after the variable display of the pattern on the normal figure display unit 39a is performed for 0.05 seconds. The stop result will be confirmed and displayed for 0.4 seconds. If the display is continued times corresponding to the occurrence of the acceptance execution state, the acceptance execution state is set after the confirmation display is completed, and the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the acceptance position. In this case, in the acceptance execution state, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position only once, and after 0.1 seconds have passed, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the non-accepting position. Then, when a predetermined game ball wins in the through winning section 34 and the first display continuation period is selected in a situation where the holding information on the normal drawing side is not stored, the time when the through winning section 34 is won. The opening / closing member 43 is placed in the receiving position at the timing when 0.45 seconds have elapsed from, and the opening / closing member 43 is placed in the non-accepting position at the timing when 0.55 seconds have elapsed from the time when the through winning portion 34 is awarded. Be placed. On the other hand, the distance between the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 is the opening / closing member 43 or the discharge passage 42 in which the game ball winning the through winning unit 34 is arranged at a non-accepting position in the special winning device 35. The shortest period required to reach the entrance portion 42a of the above is 0.65 seconds, and the longest period is 0.7 seconds. Therefore, when a predetermined game ball wins a prize in the through winning unit 34 and the first display continuation period is selected in a situation where the holding information on the normal drawing side is not stored, the special winning device 35 is in the open execution state. However, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position before the predetermined game ball reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered (that is, the position where the opening / closing member 43 is opened / closed), and the opening / closing member 43 is further arranged. Return to the non-accepting position, so that the predetermined game ball does not enter the special winning device 35.

Here, the firing cycle of the game ball is 0.6 seconds when the firing of the game ball is continued. Therefore, when the launch of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2, the game ball basically reaches the position of the through winning portion 34 in a cycle of 0.6 seconds, and similarly, the special winning device The game ball arrives at a position where the ball can enter 35 at a cycle of 0.6 seconds. Then, the game ball launched one before the predetermined game ball enters the special winning device 35 within 0.05 seconds to 0.1 seconds after the predetermined game ball wins the through winning section 34. You will reach a possible position. On the other hand, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position at the timing when 0.45 seconds have elapsed since the predetermined game ball won the through winning unit 34. Therefore, even if the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position when the predetermined game ball wins the through winning unit 34, the game ball launched one before the predetermined game ball is predetermined. The special winning device 35 in the acceptance execution state triggered by the game ball is not won. From the above, when the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of one pattern on the general drawing display unit 39a, a prize is basically generated in the special winning device 35 even if the acceptance execution state is entered. do not do.

The normal map side hold information cannot be newly started when the normal map display unit 39a is in the display continuation time or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, that is, the normal map display unit 39a is in the display continuation time. In some cases, when a game ball wins a prize in the through winning unit 34, it is stored on hold. In this case, when the first display continuation period is selected, if the acceptance execution state does not occur, it is possible to start the next display continuation time after the display continuation time in the normal figure display unit 39a is started. The period until the acceptance execution state is 0.45 seconds, and even if the acceptance execution state occurs, the period from the start of the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a to the end of the acceptance execution state is 0.55 seconds. On the other hand, as described above, the firing cycle of the game ball is 0.6 seconds, and basically the game ball reaches the position of the through winning portion 34 in a cycle of 0.6 seconds. Therefore, regardless of whether the acceptance execution state does not occur or the acceptance execution state occurs, in the situation where the first display continuation period is selected, the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 39a are newly started. Since the game ball does not win the through winning section 34 in a situation where it cannot be made to do so, the holding information on the normal drawing side is not acquired.

When the second display continuation period is selected, a stop result indicating whether or not the acceptance execution state occurs after the display continuation time is completed after the variable display of the pattern on the normal figure display unit 39a is performed for 10 seconds. Will be confirmed and displayed for 0.4 seconds. If the display is continued times corresponding to the occurrence of the acceptance execution state, the acceptance execution state is set after the confirmation display is completed, and the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the acceptance position. The execution mode of this acceptance execution state is the same as when the first display duration is selected. Then, if a predetermined game ball wins in the through winning section 34 in a situation where the holding information on the normal drawing side is not stored, 10.4 seconds have passed from the time when the through winning section 34 is won. The opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position, and the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the non-accepting position at a timing when 10.5 seconds have elapsed from the time when the through winning portion 34 is won. On the other hand, as described above, the period required for the game ball winning the through winning unit 34 to reach the opening / closing member 43 or the entrance portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 arranged at the non-accepting position in the special winning device 35. Is 0.65 seconds to 0.7 seconds. Therefore, if a predetermined game ball wins in the through winning unit 34 and the second display continuation period is selected in a situation where the holding information on the normal drawing side is not stored, the special winning device 35 is in the open execution state. However, since the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position after the predetermined game ball has passed the position where the special winning device 35 can enter the ball (that is, the position where the opening / closing member 43 is opened / closed), the predetermined game The ball does not enter the special winning device 35. On the other hand, the timing at which the game ball launched after the predetermined game ball reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered is included in the period when the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position. If so, the game ball will enter the special winning device 35.

Further, the firing cycle of the game ball is 0.6 seconds as already explained, and when the firing of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2, it is basically at the position of the through winning portion 34. The game ball arrives in a cycle of 0.6 seconds. In this case, when the second display continuation period is selected, if the acceptance execution state does not occur, it is possible to start the next display continuation time after the display continuation time in the normal figure display unit 39a is started. The period until the acceptance execution state is 10.4 seconds, and even if the acceptance execution state occurs, the period from the start of the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a to the end of the acceptance execution state is 10.5 seconds. Therefore, regardless of whether the acceptance execution state does not occur or the acceptance execution state occurs, in the situation where the second display continuation period is selected, the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 39a are newly started. In a situation where the game cannot be made, the game ball will be won in the through winning section 34, and the holding information on the normal drawing side will be acquired. In addition, if the launch of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2 in the situation where the second display continuation period is selected, the reference number (specifically, 2) or more is held on the normal side. The information is reserved and stored, and more specifically, the upper limit number (specifically, 4) of the reserved information on the normal drawing side is stored on hold.

When the third display continuation period is selected, it indicates whether or not the acceptance execution state occurs after the display continuation time is completed after the variable display of the pattern on the normal figure display unit 39a is performed for 0.6 seconds. The stop result will be confirmed and displayed for 0.4 seconds. If the display is continued times corresponding to the occurrence of the acceptance execution state, the acceptance execution state is set after the confirmation display is completed, and the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the acceptance position. The execution mode of this acceptance execution state is the same as when the first display continuation period is selected and when the second display continuation period is selected. Then, when the third display continuation period is selected, the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position at the timing when one second has elapsed from the start of the display continuation time on the normal drawing display unit 39a, and the display continuation time is started. The opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the non-accepting position at the timing when 1.1 seconds have elapsed from the time. On the other hand, as described above, the period required for the game ball winning the through winning unit 34 to reach the opening / closing member 43 or the entrance portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 arranged at the non-accepting position in the special winning device 35. Is 0.65 seconds to 0.7 seconds. Therefore, when a predetermined game ball wins in the through winning unit 34 and the third display continuation period is selected, even if the special winning device 35 is in the open execution state, the predetermined game ball becomes the special winning device 35. Since the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position after passing through the position where the ball can be entered (that is, the position where the opening / closing member 43 is opened / closed), the predetermined game ball does not enter the special winning device 35. .. On the other hand, the timing at which the game ball launched after the predetermined game ball reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered is included in the period when the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position. If so, the game ball will enter the special winning device 35.

Further, the firing cycle of the game ball is 0.6 seconds as already explained, and when the firing of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2, it is basically at the position of the through winning portion 34. The game ball arrives in a cycle of 0.6 seconds. In this case, when the third display continuation period is selected, if the acceptance execution state does not occur, it is possible to start the next display continuation time after the display continuation time in the normal figure display unit 39a is started. The period until the acceptance execution state is 1 second, and even if the acceptance execution state occurs, the period from the start of the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a to the end of the acceptance execution state is 1.1 seconds. Therefore, regardless of whether the acceptance execution state does not occur or the acceptance execution state occurs, in the situation where the third display continuation period is selected, the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 39a are newly started. In a situation where the game cannot be made, the game ball will be won in the through winning section 34, and the holding information on the normal drawing side will be acquired. In this case, the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is basically one.

The third display continuation period is selected when the display continuation period of the display continuation times is determined in a situation where the reference number (specifically, two) or more of the reserved information on the normal drawing side is stored. Therefore, the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected occurs after the display continuation times due to the second display continuation period occur. Further, when the third display continuation period is selected as described above, if the acceptance execution state does not occur, the next display continuation time can be started after the display continuation time in the normal figure display unit 39a is started. The period until the acceptance execution state is 1 second, and even if the acceptance execution state occurs, the period from the start of the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a to the end of the acceptance execution state is 1.1 seconds. In this case, the probability of winning the acceptance execution state in the internal lottery corresponding to the occurrence of continuous display times is set to a high probability, specifically 98%. Therefore, when the display continuation times occur, the acceptance execution state generally occurs. In addition, in a situation where the launch of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2, one ball is basically launched every 0.6 seconds, which is the firing cycle of the game ball, at a position where the ball can enter the special winning device 35. The game ball arrives at the rate of, but an error of about 0.1 second may occur depending on the flow mode of the game ball. Therefore, when the display continuation times for which the third display continuation period is selected are repeatedly selected, the special winning device 35 is won with a probability of about 1/11. On the other hand, the number of game balls to be paid out when a prize is given to the special winning device 35 is 11. Therefore, if the launch of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2 in the situation where the display continuation time in which the third display continuation period is selected is repeatedly selected, the player's ball is held. The increase / decrease is repeated with about 11 pieces, and it is possible to make it possible to hardly increase / decrease the number of balls held by the player during the period in which the display continuation period in which the third display continuation period is selected is repeatedly selected.

When the first display continuation period is selected, if the acceptance execution state does not occur as described above, from the start of the display continuation time in the normal figure display unit 39a until the start of the next display continuation time becomes possible. The period of is 0.45 seconds, and even if the acceptance execution state occurs, the period from the start of the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a to the end of the acceptance execution state is 0.55 seconds. Therefore, regardless of whether the acceptance execution state does not occur or the acceptance execution state occurs, in the situation where the first display continuation period is selected, the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 39a are newly started. Since the winning of the game ball to the through winning unit 34 is basically not generated in the situation where it cannot be made to do so, the holding information on the general drawing side is basically not acquired. However, depending on the flow mode of the game ball, an error of about 0.1 second may occur in the arrival cycle of the game ball to the through winning portion 34. Then, even when the first display continuation period is selected, the holding information on the normal drawing side may be held and stored. However, in this case, the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side that is held and stored is limited to one, and two or more holding information on the normal drawing side are not held and stored. On the other hand, as described above, the reference number of the reserved information on the normal drawing side, which is the criterion for selecting the third display continuation period, is set to two, which is a predetermined plurality. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the first display duration is selected and a situation in which the third display duration is selected suddenly, and a transition to a situation in which the third display duration is selected occurs. Therefore, it is possible to configure the configuration in which it is necessary to generate a situation in which the second display duration is selected.

A winning lottery is performed based on the occurrence of a prize in the first operating unit 32, the second operating unit 33, or the special winning device 35. When a winning lottery is performed, the special figure unit 38 displays a variable pattern of the pattern, and finally the result corresponding to the result of the winning lottery is displayed.

Regarding the special figure unit 38 In detail, the special figure unit 38 is provided with a first special figure display unit 38a and a second special figure display unit 38b. In the first special figure display unit 38a, a winning lottery is performed based on the occurrence of a prize in the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35, so that the pattern is variablely displayed, and finally the lottery result is obtained. The corresponding result is displayed. Further, in the second special figure display unit 38b, a winning lottery is performed based on the winning of the second operating unit 33, so that the pattern is displayed in a variable manner, and finally the result corresponding to the lottery result. Is displayed. 1 of the game times until the variable display of the pattern is started on either the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b, and the variable display of the pattern is finished after displaying a predetermined result. Corresponds to times.

The first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b are configured by a segment display in which a plurality of segment light emitting units are arranged in a predetermined manner. In this case, although it is impossible for the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b to perform a complicated display like the symbol display device 51 described later, the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38a and the second It is possible to reduce the processing load for controlling the display of the special figure display unit 38b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be composed of other types of display devices such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, a CRT or a dot matrix display device. The patterns displayed on the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b include a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of symbols are displayed, and a plurality of types of characters. Is conceivable, or a configuration in which a plurality of types of colors are displayed is conceivable.

In the special figure unit 38, a first special figure holding display unit 38c is provided at a position adjacent to the first special figure display unit 38a. The maximum number of game balls that have won a prize in the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35 is reserved, and the reserved number is displayed by lighting the first special figure reservation display unit 38c. On the other hand, the special figure holding display unit corresponding to the second special figure display unit 38b is not provided. Unlike the first operating unit 32, the number of game balls winning in the second operating unit 33 is not stored on hold. That is, if a prize is generated in the second operating unit 33 in a situation where the game times can be started, the game times in the second special figure display unit 38b are executed, but the game times can be started. Even if a prize is won in the second operating unit 33 in a situation where it cannot be done, the hold information that triggers the start of the game round is not stored. However, even if a prize is won in the second operating unit 33 in a situation where the game round cannot be started, the payout of the game ball is executed.

The display range of the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b is narrower than the display surface of the symbol display device 51 described later. Further, the entire display range of the first special figure display unit 38a, the second special figure display unit 38b, and the first special figure reservation display unit 38c is also narrower than the display surface of the symbol display device 51. As a result, it is possible to increase the player's attention to the symbol display device 51 as compared with the first special figure display unit 38a, the second special figure display unit 38b, and the first special figure reservation display unit 38c.

When the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b performs variable display of the pattern, that is, when the game round is executed, the symbol display device 51 provided in the variable display unit 37 accordingly. Display production is performed. Further, in the symbol display device 51, not only the display effect triggered by winning a prize in the first operating unit 32, the second operating unit 33 or the special winning device 35, but also the opening / closing execution mode that shifts to after a big hit result is obtained. The display effect inside is performed. The symbol display device 51 is configured as a liquid crystal display device provided with a liquid crystal display, and the display content is controlled by a display control device described later. The symbol display device 51 is not limited to the liquid crystal display device, and may be another display device having a display surface such as a plasma display device, an organic EL display device, or a CRT, and is a dot matrix display device. You may.

The contents of the display effect performed by the symbol display device 51 during the execution of the game round will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the display contents of the symbol display device 51 when the game round is executed.

As shown in FIG. 5A, three symbol rows Z1, Z2, and Z3 of an upper row, a middle row, and a lower row are set as a plurality of display areas on the display surface of the symbol display device 51. Each symbol row Z1 to Z3 is configured by arranging a main symbol and a sub symbol in a predetermined order. That is, when the game round is executed, the variable display of the symbol is performed by using the entire display surface of the symbol display device 51.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the main symbol and the sub symbol which are variably displayed in the respective symbol rows Z1 to Z3. As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (j), a design which is a kind of design consists of nine main designs with numbers "1" to "9" and a shell-shaped design. It is composed of sub-designs. More specifically, nine types of character symbols such as an octopus are assigned numbers "1" to "9" to form a main symbol.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b), in the upper symbol row Z1, nine types of main symbols "1" to "9" are arranged in descending order of numbers, and one sub symbol is placed between each main symbol. They are arranged one by one. In the lower symbol row Z3, nine types of main symbols "1" to "9" are arranged in ascending order of numbers, and one sub symbol is arranged between each main symbol. That is, the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3 are composed of 18 symbols. On the other hand, in the middle symbol string Z2, nine types of main symbols "1" to "9" are arranged in ascending order of numbers, and then between the main symbol of "9" and the main symbol of "1". The main symbol of "4" is additionally arranged in the above, and one sub symbol is arranged between each of these main symbols. That is, only in the middle symbol row Z2, 10 main symbols are arranged and composed of 20 symbols. Then, on the display surface, the symbols of each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are variably displayed so as to scroll in a predetermined direction with periodicity. In the symbol display device 51, three symbols are stopped and displayed for each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, and as a result, a total of nine symbols of 3 × 3 are stopped and displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, the symbol display device 51 is set with five effective lines, that is, a left line L1, a middle line L2, a right line L3, a right-down line L4, and a right-up line L5. There is.

When the symbol display device 51 performs variable display of symbols based on winning a prize in the first operating unit 32, the second operating unit 33, or the special winning device 35, the symbols in the respective symbol rows Z1 to Z3 have periodicity. The variable display is started so as to scroll in a predetermined direction. Then, basically, the variable display is switched to the standby display in the order of the upper symbol row Z1 → the lower symbol row Z3 → the middle symbol row Z2, and finally the predetermined symbols are statically displayed in the respective symbol rows Z1 to Z3. It ends with. In addition, when the variable display of symbols ends, if the result of the internal lottery is a high-accuracy jackpot result described later, the same odd-numbered symbol combination is formed on one of the effective lines, and the result of the internal lottery is obtained. If the result is a low probability jackpot, which will be described later, the same even-numbered symbol combination is formed on one of the effective lines, and if the result of the internal lottery is a small hit result, which will be described later, one of the valid lines. A predetermined combination of symbols (for example, "3.4.1") that is neither a combination of the same symbols nor a combination of reach symbols is formed on the top.

As described above, in the configuration in which the symbol variation is displayed in each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the expected effect is set as the display effect of the symbol display device 51 when the game round is executed. The expected effect is a display state for making the player think that it is a variable display state in which a jackpot result is likely to occur at a stage before the stop result is derived and displayed after the variable display of the symbol on the symbol display device 51 is started. Say. Two types of expected effects are set: a reach display and a notice display for expecting the occurrence of the reach display and the occurrence of the jackpot result in the stage before the reach display occurs.

In the reach display, the combination of reach symbols is displayed by stopping and displaying the same type of symbols for the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3 among the plurality of symbol rows Z1 to Z3, and the remaining middle symbols are displayed in that state. A display state in which a variable display of a symbol is performed in column Z2 is included. In addition, in the state where the combination of reach symbols is displayed as described above, the remaining symbol rows are displayed in a variable manner, and a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on the background screen to produce a reach effect. , A combination of reach symbols is reduced or hidden, and then a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on substantially the entire display surface to perform a reach effect.

To.

Each of the above counters will be described in detail.

First, the Fuden random number counter C4 will be described. The normal electric random number counter C4 is configured to add 1 in order within the range of "0 to 99" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The normal electric random number counter C4 is periodically updated, and the value of the general electric random number counter C4 at that time is stored in the normal figure holding area 116 at the timing when the game ball wins the through winning unit 34. Then, at a predetermined timing, acceptance determination is performed as to whether or not the special winning device 35 is controlled to the acceptance execution state by the value of the stored general electric random number counter C4.

Next, the hit random number counter C1 will be described. The hit random number counter C1 is configured to add "1" in order within the range of "0 to 399" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. In particular, when the hit random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the hit random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the hit random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 399). The winning random number counter C1 is periodically updated, and the value of the winning random number counter C1 at that time is stored in the first special drawing area 112 at the timing when the game ball wins the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35. When the game ball wins the second operating unit 33 in a situation where the game round can be started, the value of the hit random number counter C1 at that time is stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure. Then, the winning / failing determination is performed using the value of the stored hit random number counter C1.

The value of the random number that is won in the winning / failing determination is stored in the main ROM 73 as a winning / failing table. The pass / fail table is provided corresponding to the reserved information on the first special drawing side and the reserved information on the second special drawing side. Further, in the pachinko machine 10, a low probability mode and a high probability mode are set as lottery modes in the winning / failing lottery means, and a winning / failing table is stored corresponding to each mode. That is, the hit / fail table includes a low probability hit / fail table for the first special figure, a high probability hit / fail table for the first special figure, a low probability hit / fail table for the second special figure, and a high probability for the second special figure. There are four types, a win / fail table. These pass / fail tables will be described. FIG. 9A is an explanatory diagram for explaining the contents of the low accuracy table for the first special figure, and FIG. 9B is for explaining the contents of the high accuracy table for the first special figure. 9 (c) is an explanatory diagram for explaining the contents of the low accuracy table for the second special figure, and FIG. 9 (d) is the high accuracy table for the second special figure. It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating the content of.

As shown in FIG. 9 (a), two values of the hit random number counter C1 which is a big hit result are set in the low probability / failure table for the first special figure, and the values of the other hit random number counters C1 are out of order. Corresponds to the result. When the jackpot result is selected in the hit / fail judgment process, the first open / close execution mode already described is executed after the game round corresponding to the hit / fail judgment process is completed, and the missed result is selected in the hit / fail judgment process. If this is done, the open / close execution mode does not occur. Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), 150 values of the hit random number counter C1 which is a big hit result are set in the high probability accuracy table for the first special figure, and the values of the other hit random number counters C1. Corresponds to the off result. As a result, the jackpot result is more likely to occur in the high-probability mode than in the low-probability mode, triggered by the hold information on the first special figure side.

As shown in FIG. 9 (c), two values of the hit random number counter C1 which is a big hit result are set in the low probability / failure table for the second special figure as in the low probability / failure table for the first special figure. As shown in FIG. 9D, the value of the hit random number counter C1 which is the big hit result is set to 150 in the high accuracy table for the second special figure as in the high accuracy table for the first special figure. Has been done. That is, the probability of a jackpot result in the low probability mode is the same for the hold information on the first special figure side and the hold information on the second special figure side, and the probability of a jackpot result in the high probability mode is also the first special figure. The hold information on the side and the hold information on the second special figure side are the same.

In both the low accuracy table for the second special figure and the high accuracy table for the second special figure, a small hit result is set in addition to the big hit result, and the value of the hit random number counter C1 that is the small hit result. The number is 240, which is common to the low accuracy table for the second special drawing and the high accuracy table for the second special drawing. That is, the probability of a big hit result differs between the low probability mode and the high probability mode, whereas the probability of a small hit result is common to the low probability mode and the high probability mode. When the small hit result is selected in the hit / fail determination process, the second open / close execution mode already described is executed after the game round corresponding to the hit / fail determination process is completed. Further, in the low accuracy table for the second special figure and the high accuracy table for the second special figure, the value of the hit random number counter C1 corresponding to neither the big hit result nor the small hit result is associated with the outlier result. Has been done.

When the hold information on the first special drawing side is the target of the hit / fail judgment process due to the setting of the hit / miss table as described above, either the jackpot result or the miss result is selected. When the reserved information on the second special figure side is the target of the hit / fail judgment process, not only the big hit result and the miss result but also the small hit result is selected. In this case, the probability that the small hit result will be selected when the hold information on the second special figure side is the target of the hit / fail determination process is selected in either the low probability mode or the high probability mode. Higher than the probability of being done. The probability that this small hit result is selected is more than 1/2 in detail. As a result, the game ball is launched with the aim of winning the second operating unit 33, so that a small hit result is generated with a high probability.

In addition, when the reserved information on the second special drawing side is the target of the hit / fail determination process and does not result in a big hit result, the small hit result may be reliably or almost certainly selected. Further, even if the reserved information on the first special drawing side is the target of the hit / fail determination process, the small hit result may be selected.

The type counter C2 is configured to add "1" in order within the range of "0 to 29" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The type counter C2 is periodically updated, and when the game ball wins the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35, the value of the type counter C2 at that time is stored in the first special drawing area 112, and the game times. The value of the type counter C2 at that time is stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure at the timing when the game ball wins the second operating unit 33 in the situation where it is possible to start. Then, the type of the jackpot result is determined by using the value of the stored type counter C2.

FIG. 9E is an explanatory diagram for explaining a jackpot type table used when determining the type of the jackpot result for the type counter C2. In the jackpot type table, among the values of the type counter C2 of "0 to 29", "0 to 19" corresponds to the low accuracy jackpot result, and "20 to 29" corresponds to the high accuracy jackpot result. There is. Both the low-accuracy jackpot result and the high-accuracy jackpot result trigger the transition to the first opening / closing execution mode. In addition, when a low probability jackpot result is obtained, the low probability mode is set after the end of the first open / close execution mode and before the start of the first open / close execution mode regardless of the type of the winning / failing lottery mode, and the high probability jackpot result In the case of, the high probability mode is set after the end of the first open / close execution mode, regardless of the type of the winning / losing lottery mode before the start of the first opening / closing execution mode.

Next, the reach random number counter C3 will be described. The reach random number counter C3 is configured to be added one by one in order within the range of, for example, "0" to "238", and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and the value of the reach random number counter C3 at that time is stored in the first special drawing area 112 at the timing when the game ball wins the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35. When the game ball wins the second operating unit 33 in a situation where the game round can be started, the value of the reach random number counter C3 at that time is stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure. When the game times corresponding to the deviation result are executed, whether or not the reach display is executed is determined by using the values of these stored reach random number counters C3.

Next, the variable type counter CS will be described. The variation type counter CS is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of "0 to 198" and returned to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The variable type counter CS is used to determine the duration of the game times on the main MPU 72.

<About various processes executed by the main MPU 72>
Next, various processes executed to advance the game on the main MPU 72 will be described. The processing of the main MPU 72 is roughly divided into a main processing that is started when the power is turned on and a timer interrupt processing that is started periodically (in this embodiment, at a cycle of 4 msec).

<Main processing>
First, the main process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the main process, first, the power-on wait process is executed (step S101). In the power-on wait process, for example, the process waits without proceeding to the next process until 1 sec elapses after the main process is started. After that, the access of the main RAM 74 is permitted (step S102), and the internal function register of the main MPU 72 is set (step S103).

After that, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase button provided in the power / emission control device 87 is manually operated (step S104), and it is determined whether or not "1" is set in the power failure flag of the main RAM 74. (Step S105). Further, the checksum calculation process for calculating the checksum is executed (step S106), and whether or not the checksum matches the checksum saved when the power is turned off, that is, the validity of the stored data is determined (step S106). Step S107).

In the pachinko machine 10, when the RAM data is initialized when the power is turned on, for example, when the game hall is open for business, the power is turned on while pressing the RAM erase button. Therefore, if the RAM erase button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S108. Further, when the power cutoff occurrence information is not set or when an abnormality of the data stored and held by the checksum is confirmed, the process proceeds to step S108 in the same manner. In step S108, the main RAM 74 is cleared as the initialization of the main RAM 74. Then, the process proceeds to step S109.

On the other hand, when the RAM erase button is not pressed, step S109 is performed without executing the process of step S108, provided that the power failure flag is set to "1" and the checksum is normal. Proceed to. In step S109, the power-on setting process is executed. In the power-on setting process, a predetermined area of the main RAM 74, such as initialization of the power failure flag, is set as an initial value. In addition, a payout initialization command indicating that the RAM of the payout control device 86 should be initialized is transmitted to the payout control device 86.

After that, the process proceeds to the residual processing of steps S110 to S113. That is, although the main MPU 72 has a configuration in which timer interrupt processing is periodically executed, a residual time is generated between one timer interrupt processing and the next timer interrupt processing. This residual time varies depending on the processing completion time of each timer interrupt process, and the residual process of steps S110 to S113 is repeatedly executed by utilizing the irregular time. In this respect, it can be said that the residual processing in steps S110 to S113 is an irregular process that is executed irregularly.

In the residual processing, interrupt prohibition is set in order to prohibit the occurrence of timer interrupt processing (step S110). Further, the random number initial value update process for updating the random number initial value counter CINI is executed (step S111), and the variation counter update process for updating the variation type counter CS is executed (step S112). In these update processes, the current numerical information is read from the corresponding counter of the main RAM 74, a process of adding 1 to the read numerical information is executed, and then a process of overwriting the read source counter is executed. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0" respectively. After that, the interrupt enable setting for switching from the state in which the occurrence of the timer interrupt process is prohibited to the state in which the timer interrupt process is permitted is set (step S113). After executing the process of step S113, the process returns to step S110, and the process of steps S110 to S113 is repeated.

<Timer interrupt processing>
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The timer interrupt process is repeatedly started in a cycle of 4 msec.

First, the power failure information storage process is executed (step S201). In the power failure information storage process, it is monitored whether or not a power failure signal corresponding to the occurrence of power failure is received from the power failure monitoring board 75, and if the occurrence of a power failure is identified, the power failure processing is executed.

After that, the lottery random number update process is executed (step S202). In the lottery random number update process, the hit random number counter C1, the type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the general electric random number counter C4 are updated. Specifically, the current numerical information is sequentially read from the hit random number counter C1, the type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the general electric random number counter C4, and the read numerical information is added to each of the read numerical information by 1 and then read. Executes the process of overwriting the original counter. In this case, when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to "0" respectively.

After that, the random number initial value update process is executed in the same manner as in step S111 (step S203), and the fluctuation counter update process is executed in the same manner as in step S112 (step S204). After that, the game stop determination process is executed (step S205). In the game stop determination process, it is monitored whether or not the progress of the game should be stopped, and if the situation should stop the progress of the game, the execution of the process for advancing the game is stopped. After that, the processes after step S207 are executed on condition that the progress of the game is not stopped (step S206: NO).

In step S207, the port output process is executed. In the port output processing, when the output information is set in the previous timer interrupt processing, the output corresponding to the output information is executed.

After that, the reading process is executed (step S208). In the reading process, signals other than the power failure signal and the winning signal are read, and the read information is stored for use in future processing.

After that, the winning detection process is executed (step S209). In the prize detection process, signals received from various prize detection sensors 32a to 45 are read, and the general prize unit 31, the first operating unit 32, the second operating unit 33, the through winning unit 34, the special winning device 35, and the special winning device 35. A process of specifying whether or not a special electric winning device 36 has won a prize is executed.

After that, a timer update process for collectively updating the numerical information of a plurality of types of timer counters provided in the main RAM 74 is executed (step S210). In this case, the timer counters that are updated by subtracting the stored numerical information are aggregated and handled, but both the subtraction type timer counter update and the addition type timer counter update are aggregated. It may be configured.

After that, a fraud detection process for monitoring whether or not a predetermined event set as a monitoring target for fraud has occurred is executed (step S211). In the fraud detection process, the occurrence of a plurality of types of events is monitored, and by confirming that a predetermined event has occurred, the game stop setting is made in the above step S205 in the next timer interrupt process. In step S206, an affirmative determination is made.

After that, a launch control process for controlling the launch of the game ball is executed (step S212). In a situation where the firing operation is continued for the firing operation device 28, as described above, one game ball is fired every 0.6 seconds so as to have a predetermined firing cycle.

After that, as the input state monitoring process, based on the information read in the reading process of step S208, the disconnection confirmation of each of the winning detection sensors 32a to 45 and the opening confirmation of the game machine main body 12 and the front door frame 14 are performed (step). S213).

After that, the special figure special electric control process for performing the execution control of the game times on the first special figure display unit 38a, the execution control of the game times on the second special figure display unit 38b, and the execution control of the open / close execution mode is executed ( Step S214). In addition, the execution control of the display continuation times in the general map display unit 39a and the execution control of the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 are executed (step S215).

After that, based on the processing results of the immediately preceding steps S214 to S215, the output information is set to reflect the increase / decrease number of the reserved information on the first special figure side in the first special figure hold display unit 38c, and the normal drawing side. The output information for reflecting the increase / decrease number of the hold information in the normal figure hold display unit 39b is set (step S216). Further, in order to set output information for updating the display contents of the first special figure display unit 38a and to update the display contents of the second special figure display unit 38b based on the processing results of the immediately preceding steps S214 to S215. The output information of the above is set, and the output information for updating the display contents of the general map display unit 39a is set (step S216).

After that, the contents of the command and the signal received from the payout control device 86 are confirmed, and the payout state reception process for performing the process corresponding to the check result is executed (step S217). In addition, a payout output process for setting the prize ball command as an output target is executed (step S218). Further, the external information setting process for controlling the start and end of the output of the external signal according to the processing result of the various processes executed in the timer interrupt process this time is executed (step S219). When an affirmative determination is made in step S206, or after the processes of steps S207 to S219 are executed, the timer interrupt process ends.

<Special figure special electric control processing>
Next, the special figure special electric control process executed in step S214 of the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11) will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the special figure special electric control process, first, the hold information acquisition process is executed (step S301). FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the process of acquiring the pending information. When a prize has been generated for the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35 (step S401: YES), the first stored in the first area 113a to the fourth area 113d of the first special drawing area 112. The storage process in the first special drawing area 112 is executed on condition that the number of reserved information on the special drawing side is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S402: NO) (step S403). In the storage process, each numerical information of the hit random number counter C1, the type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 is used as the reserved information on the first special drawing side, and the first area 113a to the fourth area 113d of the first special drawing area 113 are used. Of the areas where the reserved information on the special figure side is not stored, the information is stored in the area on the side where the digestion order is earlier. When the hold information on the first special figure side is acquired, the display content of the first special figure hold display unit 38c is updated in accordance with the increase in the number of hold information on the first special figure side this time. Set the data to do so. Further, when the hold information on the first special figure side is acquired, the hold increase command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. As a result, the image for notifying the reserved storage number of the reserved information on the first special figure side in the symbol display device 51 is updated in correspondence with the new acquisition of the reserved information on the first special figure side.

When a negative determination is made in step S401, an affirmative determination is made in step S402, or the process of step S403 is executed, it is determined whether or not a prize has been generated in the second operating unit 33 (step). S404). When an affirmative judgment is made in step S404, the execution area 115 for the second special figure is reached on condition that neither the game times nor the open / close execution mode is executed (step S405: YES). Is executed (step S406). In the storage process, each numerical information of the hit random number counter C1, the type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 is stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure as the reserved information on the second special figure side. That is, the hold information on the second special figure side is executed by any of the game times triggered by the hold information on the first special figure side, the game times triggered by the hold information on the second special figure side, and the open / close execution mode. Obtained only in situations where it has not been. Then, as will be described in detail later, regarding the execution of the pass / fail determination process, in other words, regarding the execution of the game round, the hold information on the second special figure side is prioritized as the execution trigger over the hold information on the first special figure side. When the hold information on the second special figure side is stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure, the hit / fail determination process triggered by the hold information on the second special figure side is immediately executed, and the second special figure side is executed. 2 The game round is started with the hold information on the special figure side as an opportunity. It should be noted that the second special figure hold display unit for notifying the number of stored hold information on the second special figure side is not provided, and the symbol display device 51 further displays the hold information on the second special figure side. The image for notifying the number of reserved memories is not displayed.

Returning to the description of the special figure special electric control process (FIG. 14), after executing the hold information acquisition process in step S301, the special figure special electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S302). In the special figure special electric address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the special figure special electric counter is set. The special figure special electric counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the special figure special electric control process by the main MPU 72.

The special figure special electric counter can take values of "0" to "6", and each value of "0" to "6" corresponds to the start addresses SA0 to SA6 of each process (steps S305 to S311). ing. Specifically, when the value of the special figure special electric counter is "0", the special figure fluctuation start process (step S305), which is a process for starting the effect for the game round, is executed, and the special figure special electric power is executed. When the value of the counter is "1", the special figure changing process (step S306), which is a process for advancing the effect for the game round, is the execution target, and the value of the special figure special electric counter is "2". In some cases, the special figure determination process (step S307), which is a process for ending the effect for the game round, is the execution target, and when the value of the special figure special electric counter is "3", the open / close execution mode is set. The special electric power start process (step S308), which is a process for controlling the opening, is the execution target, and when the value of the special electric power counter is "4", it is for controlling the open state of the special electric power winning device 36. The special electric power opening process (step S309), which is a process, is the execution target, and when the value of the special electric power counter is "5", the special electric power closing is a process for controlling the closed state of the special electric power winning device 36. When the intermediate process (step S310) is the execution target and the value of the special figure special electric counter is "6", it is a process for controlling the ending of the open / close execution mode and the transition of the gaming state at the end of the open / close execution mode. The special electric power termination process (step S311) is the execution target.

In the special figure special electric control process, after reading the special figure special electric address table (step S302), the start address corresponding to the information of the special figure special electric counter is acquired from the special figure special electric address table (step S303), and the acquisition is obtained. Jump to the process indicated by the start address (step S304). Hereinafter, each process of steps S305 to S311 will be described individually.

<Special figure fluctuation start processing>
First, the special figure variation start processing in step S305 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the special figure fluctuation start process, the data setting process is executed on condition that the hold information on the first special figure side or the hold information on the second special figure side is stored (step S501: YES) (step S502). .. In the data setting process, when the hold information on the second special figure side is stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure, the hold information on the second special figure side is preceded by the hold information on the first special figure area 112. Regardless of whether or not the reserved information on the first special figure side acquired in is acquired, the reserved information on the second special figure side stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure is set as the execution target. To do. As a result, the hold information on the second special figure side can be prioritized over the hold information on the first special figure side as an execution trigger of the hit / miss determination process, and can be prioritized as an execution trigger of the game round. Become. The hold information on the second special figure side stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure is deleted when the game round triggered by the hold information on the second special figure side is completed.

On the other hand, in the data setting process, when the reserved information on the second special drawing side is not stored in the execution area 115 for the second special drawing, the data stored in the first area 113a of the first special drawing area 112 is stored. Move to the execution area 114 for the first special drawing. After that, the process of shifting the data stored in the storage area of the first special drawing area 112 is executed. This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas 113a to 113d to the lower area side, clearing the data in the first area 113a and the second area 113b →. The data in each area is shifted such as the first area 113a, the third area 113c → the second area 113b, the fourth area 113d → the third area 113c. Further, in the data setting process, data is set so that the display contents of the first special figure reservation display unit 38c are updated in accordance with the decrease in the number of hold information on the first special figure side this time. Further, in the data setting process, a hold reduction command is transmitted to the sound / light side MPU 92. As a result, the image for notifying the number of reserved information on the first special symbol side in the symbol display device 51 is updated in correspondence with the decrease in the reserved information on the special symbol side.

After executing the data setting process, the pass / fail determination process is executed (step S503). In the hit / fail judgment process, the hit / miss table corresponding to the combination of the type of hold information selected as the execution target of the hit / fail judgment process in the data setting process and the current win / loss lottery mode (FIGS. 9 (a) to 9 (d)) Is read from the main ROM 73. Then, the numerical information about the hit random number counter C1 in the hold information that is the execution target of the current pass / fail determination process is collated with the read pass / fail table.

When the result of the hit / fail determination process is the jackpot result (step S504: YES), the type determination process at the time of the jackpot is executed (step S505). In the jackpot type determination process, the jackpot type table shown in FIG. 9E is read from the main ROM 73. Further, when the hold information on the first special figure side is the trigger of the game round this time, the numerical information about the type counter C2 stored in the execution area 114 for the first special figure is read out, and the second special figure is displayed. When the hold information on the side is the trigger of the game round this time, the numerical information about the type counter C2 stored in the execution area 115 for the second special figure is read out. Then, it is determined which type of the low-accuracy jackpot result and the high-accuracy jackpot result set in the jackpot type table corresponds to the numerical range of the jackpot result that the numerical information about the read type counter C2 corresponds to. To do.

After executing the type determination process at the time of jackpot, "1" is set in the flag of the main RAM 74 corresponding to the type of the jackpot result specified in the type determination process (step S506). Specifically, "1" is set in the low-accuracy jackpot flag when it corresponds to the low-accuracy jackpot result, and "1" is set in the high-accuracy jackpot flag when it corresponds to the high-accuracy jackpot result. set. The state in which "1" is set in either of the low-accuracy jackpot flag and the high-accuracy jackpot flag is cleared to "0" when the game state transition process is executed when the open / close execution mode ends.

After that, the stop result setting process for the jackpot result is executed (step S507). Specifically, information on the stop mode of the pattern to be finally stopped and displayed on the side of the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b that is the execution target of the game round in the current game round. Is specified from the stop result table for the jackpot result stored in advance in the main ROM 73, and the specified information is stored in the main RAM 74. In the stop result table for the jackpot result, the type of stop mode of the pattern stopped and displayed on the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b is set differently for each type of jackpot result. In step S507, information on the stop mode of the pattern corresponding to the type of jackpot result specified in step S505 is stored in the main RAM 74. It should be noted that the stop mode of the pattern may be set in a one-to-one correspondence with each jackpot result, or a plurality of types of stop modes of the pattern may be set for at least a part of the jackpot results. The method of selecting the stop result for the jackpot result in which the stop modes of a plurality of types of symbols are set is arbitrary, but for example, the stop result may be selected according to the value of the type counter C2.

When the result of the hit / fail determination process is not a big hit result (step S504: NO), it is determined whether or not the result of the hit / fail determination process is a small hit result (step S508). In the pachinko machine 10, when the hold information on the first special figure side is the target of the hit / fail determination process as described above, the small hit result is not selected, and the hold information on the second special figure side is right / wrong. A small hit result can be selected when it is the target of the determination process. When the result of the hit / fail determination process is a small hit result (step S508: YES), "1" is set in the small hit flag provided in the main RAM 74 (step S509). Then, the stop result setting process for the small hit result is executed (step S510). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the small hit result to be finally stopped and displayed on the second special figure display unit 38b in the current game is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. The information on the stop mode of the pattern selected in this case is different from the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the jackpot result. It should be noted that one type of stop mode may be set for the small hit result, or a plurality of types of stop modes for the small hit result may be set.

When the result of the hit / fail determination process is neither a big hit result nor a small hit result (step S504 and step S508: NO), the stop result setting process for the miss result is executed (step S511). Specifically, of the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b, the side of the second special figure display unit 38b that is the target of the game round is finally stopped and displayed in the current game round. The information on the stop mode is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. The information on the mode of the pattern selected in this case is different from the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the big hit result and the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the small hit result.

After executing any of the stop result setting processes, the process of specifying the duration of the game times is executed (step S512). In the specific process, if the hold information that triggered the start of the current game round is the hold information on the first special figure side, it is first determined whether or not the current game round corresponds to the occurrence of the reach effect. .. Specifically, if the game times this time correspond to the jackpot result, it is determined that a reach effect will occur. Further, even if the current game round does not correspond to the jackpot result, the numerical information of the reach random number counter C3 in the hold information on the first special figure side, which is the start target of the current game round, is reached. If the numerical information corresponds to, it is determined that the reach effect is generated. When it is determined that the reach effect is generated, the variation display period table for reach generation is read from the main ROM 73, and the variation display is performed by collating the current numerical information of the variation type counter CS with the read variation display period table. The period is determined, and the information of the determined fluctuation display period is set in the timer counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, when it is determined that the reach effect does not occur, the variation display period table for non-reach generation is read from the main ROM 73, and the current numerical information of the variation type counter CS and the current state of the variation display period table read out are The variable display period is determined by collating the combination of the number of reserved information on the first special figure side, and the information on the determined variable display period is set in the timer counter provided in the main RAM 74. When the variation display period table for reach generation is referred to, the variation display period corresponding to the value of the variation type counter CS is selected regardless of the number of reserved information on the first special figure side, whereas the reach is not reached. When the fluctuation period table for generation is referred to, the shorter fluctuation display period is selected as the number of reserved information on the first special figure side increases. The update of the numerical information set in the timer counter is executed in the timer update process of step S210 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11). Incidentally, the variable display period that can be selected when the hold information on the first special drawing side triggers the start of the game round is 1 second to 180 seconds.

In the process of specifying the duration of the game round, if the hold information that triggered the start of the game round is the hold information on the second special figure side, the current winning / losing lottery mode is first of the high probability mode and the low probability mode. Determine which is the case. If the winning / failing lottery mode is the high-probability mode, as in the case of the hold information on the first special drawing side, the variation display period for reaching generation depends on whether or not the current game times correspond to the occurrence of the reach effect. Select either the table or the non-reach variable display period table. If reach effect occurs, the variation display period is determined by collating the current numerical information of the variation type counter CS with the variation display period table for reach generation, and the information of the determined variation display period is used as the main side. It is set in the timer counter provided in the RAM 74. If the reach effect does not occur, the variable display period is determined by collating the current numerical information of the variable type counter CS with the variable display period table for non-reach generation, and the information of the determined variable display period is mainly used. It is set in the timer counter provided in the side RAM 74. Incidentally, in the high probability mode, the variable display period that can be selected when the hold information on the second special figure side triggers the start of the game round is 1 second to 60 seconds. In this case, the longest variable display period that can be selected is shorter than the longest variable display period that can be selected when the hold information on the first special figure side is a trigger, and the average variable display period is also the first. 1 It is shorter than the average fluctuation display period that can be selected when the reserved information on the special map side is a trigger.

On the other hand, if the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode, the value and fluctuation of the reach random number counter C3 are further irrespective of whether the game result of this game is a big hit result, a small hit result, or a missed result. A variation display period of 1200 seconds is selected regardless of the value of the type counter CS. This fluctuation display period is longer than the longest fluctuation display period that can be selected when the hold information on the first special figure side is a trigger, and further, the hold information on the second special figure side is a trigger in the high probability mode. Longer than the longest variable display period that can be selected if In this way, by making the fluctuation display period of the game times triggered by the hold information on the second special figure side in the low probability mode extremely long, the game ball can enter the second operating unit 33 in the low probability mode. When the game is aimed at, the digestion efficiency of the game times can be extremely deteriorated. As described above, the second operating portion 33 is not provided with an opening / closing member for blocking the entry of the game ball. On the other hand, when the reserved information on the second special figure side is the target of the hit / fail judgment process, not only the big hit result can be selected, but also the small hit result is selected with a high probability, and the small hit result is selected. In that case, the second open / close execution mode is generated, and the number of balls held by the player increases based on the entry of the game ball into the special electric winning device 36. In this case, in the low-probability mode, as described above, when the game is performed aiming at the entry of the game ball into the second operating unit 33, the digestion efficiency of the game times is extremely deteriorated, so that the low-probability mode is used. Instead of aiming for the game ball to enter the second operating unit 33, aim for the game ball to enter the first operating unit 32, and the high-probability jackpot result is triggered by the hold information on the first special drawing side. After the high probability mode is set, it is possible to perform a game of aiming for the game ball to enter the second operating unit 33.

In addition, as a method for discouraging the player from aiming for the game ball to enter the second operating unit 33 in the low probability mode, in addition to or in place of the above-mentioned variable display period selection configuration, for example, a low probability In the mode, when the firing operation is performed so that the game ball flows down the right side region PA3, the corresponding notification may be performed. Specifically, when a game ball enters the second operating unit 33 in the low probability mode, at least one of the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64 is used to determine the right side region. A notification is made so that the player can recognize that the firing of the game ball toward the PA3 is stopped. Even with this configuration, it is possible to discourage the player from aiming for the game ball to enter the second operating unit 33 in the low probability mode.

By the way, as an effect for the game round, the variation display of the pattern on the first special symbol display unit 38a or the second special symbol display unit 38b and the variation display of the symbol on the symbol display device 51 are performed, and each of these variation displays is performed. When it is terminated, the state in which the stop result of the game round is displayed is displayed as the final stop over the final stop period. In this case, the information of the variable display period read out in step S512 is the period obtained by subtracting the final stop period from the continuation period of the game times. In other words, the duration of the game is the sum of the variable display period and the final suspension period.

After that, the result of the hit / fail determination process and the type determination process of this time, and the variation command and the type command corresponding to the process result of step S512 are selected from the main ROM 73 (step S513). Then, the selected variation command and type command are transmitted to the sound / light side MPU 92 (step S514). The sound / light side MPU 92 executes control so that the effect for game rotation corresponding to the received variation command and type command is executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. ..

After that, the variable display of the pattern on the side of the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38b that is the execution target of the current game round is started (step S515). As a table referred to by the main MPU 72 when the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b is used to display a variable pattern of a pattern, the first special figure display unit 38a and the second special figure display unit 38a A variable display table for special figures, which is common to 38b, is stored in advance in the main ROM 73. When the variation display of the pattern is executed on the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b, the same variation display table is used regardless of the result of the hit / fail determination process and the result of the type determination process. To. When the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b performs variable display of the pattern, the variable display of the pattern according to a predetermined pattern is repeated, but the variable display table for the special figure shows. Control data for one lap in the variable display of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern is set. Therefore, when the first special figure display unit 38a or the second special figure display unit 38b performs the variable display of the pattern, the variable display table for the special figure is displayed until the duration of the game times determined in step S512 elapses. It will be used repeatedly.

After that, the value of the special figure special electric counter is added by 1 (step S516). Since the value of the special figure special electric counter is "0" when the special figure fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the special figure special electric counter is added by 1 to correspond to the special figure fluctuation processing (step S306). 1 ”.

<Processing during special figure fluctuation>
Next, the process during the change of the special figure in step S306 in the special figure special electric control process (FIG. 12) will be described.

In the special figure change processing, it is determined whether or not the timing is before the final stop display during the game rotation, and if it is before the final stop display, the special figure display units 38a and 38b that are the control targets this time. A process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern in the above is executed. This regular change continues until it is time to start the final stop display. In addition, this regular change is made in a certain manner regardless of whether or not a hit result is obtained and whether or not a reach display occurs.

When it is time to display the final stop, the symbol display device 51 sends a final stop command to the sound / light side MPU 92 and controls this time in order to display the stop result of the current game round as the final stop. The display mode of the pattern on the special figure display units 38a and 38b is the display mode corresponding to the game result of the current game. Further, the information of the final stop period (0.5 sec) of the game round is read from the main ROM 73 and set in the timer counter. Then, by adding 1 to the value of the special figure special electric counter, the value of the counter is updated from the one corresponding to the special figure changing process to the one corresponding to the special figure finalizing process (step S307).

<Processing during special drawing confirmation>
Next, the process during special figure determination in step S307 in the special figure special electric control process (FIG. 12) will be described.

In the special figure finalization process, if the final stop period of the current game round has not passed, the special figure finalization process is terminated as it is, and if the final stop period of the current game round has passed, If the result of the hit / fail judgment that triggered the game round is out of the question, after clearing the value of the special figure special electric counter to "0", the processing during confirmation of this special figure is terminated, and the trigger of this game round is used. If the result of the winning / failing determination is a big hit result or a small hit result, the process for shifting to the open / close execution mode is executed.

In the process for shifting to the open / close execution mode, the information of the opening period (for example, 4 sec) stored in advance in the main ROM 73 is read, and the information of the opening time is set in the timer counter. By the way, the opening period is constant regardless of the type of game result that triggered the transition to the open / close execution mode. In addition, the opening command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. The opening command is a command for causing the sound light side MPU 92 to recognize that it is the timing to start the effect for the opening / closing execution mode. The opening command also includes information indicating which of the various big hit results and the small hit results is the game result that triggered the open / close execution mode. Therefore, the sound / light side MPU 92 can execute the effect of the opening / closing execution mode in a manner corresponding to the game result that triggered the opening / closing execution mode. Further, by adding 1 to the special electric power counter, the value of the counter is updated to the one corresponding to the special electric power start processing (step S308).

<Special electric start processing>
Next, the special electric start processing in step S308 in the special electric special electric control process (FIG. 12) will be described.

In the special electric power start processing, it is determined whether or not the opening period in the current opening / closing execution mode has elapsed, and if it has passed, the current opening / closing execution mode should be the first opening / closing execution mode triggered by the jackpot result. For example, "16" is set as information on the number of round games in the round counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set in the winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as the information on the maximum number of pieces, and information corresponding to 29 seconds is set in the timer counter as the information on the open duration. On the other hand, if the opening / closing execution mode this time is the second opening / closing execution mode triggered by the small hit result, "3" is set as the information on the opening / closing number of the special electric winning device 36 in the opening / closing number counter provided in the main RAM 74. .. Further, "10" is set in the winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as the information on the maximum number of pieces, and information corresponding to 1 second is set in the timer counter as the information on the open duration. After making these various settings, the special electric winning device 36 is opened. In addition, a release command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. Upon receiving the release command, the sound / light side MPU 92 executes control for switching the effect in the open / close execution mode accordingly. After the special electric power winning device 36 is opened, the special electric power counter is added by 1 to update the value of the counter to the one corresponding to the special electric power opening processing (step S309).

<Processing while the special electric power is open>
Next, the processing during opening of the special power in step S309 in the special power control processing (FIG. 12) will be described.

In the processing during opening of the special electric power, it is determined whether or not the end condition of one round game is satisfied in the first open / close execution mode, and if the end condition is satisfied, the special electric power winning device 36 is closed. At the same time, a closing command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. In addition, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter after 1 subtraction is "0", and if it is not "0", the timer counter corresponds to the closing period (specifically, 1 second). Set the information to be used. On the other hand, in the second opening / closing execution mode, it is determined whether or not one opening continuation period has elapsed and whether or not the maximum number of game balls have entered the special electric winning device 36, and one of the conditions is If it is established, the special electric winning device 36 is closed and a closing command is transmitted to the sound / light side MPU 92. In addition, if the open continuation period has elapsed, whether or not the value of the opening / closing counter after subtracting 1 is "0", and if the special electric winning device 36 has been won, the number of winnings It is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter after subtraction is "0", and if none of them is "0", the timer counter corresponds to the closing period (specifically, 1 second). Set the information to be used. After making these various settings, the special figure special electric counter is added by 1, so that the value of the counter is updated to the one corresponding to the special electric closing process (step S310).

<Processing while the special electric train is closed>
Next, the processing during closing of the special electric power in step S310 in the special drawing special electric power control processing (FIG. 12) will be described.

In the special electric closing processing, it is determined whether or not the end condition of the opening / closing execution mode of this time is satisfied. Specifically, in the first open / close execution mode, it is determined whether or not the round counter is "0", and in the second open / close execution mode, either the open / close count counter or the winning counter is "0". Determine if it exists. If the end condition of the open / close execution mode is not satisfied, the special electric winning device 36 is opened on the condition that the closing period has elapsed, and in the first open / close execution mode, the winning counter is entered. The upper limit number is set and the open continuation period to the timer counter is set, and in the second open / close execution mode, the open continuation period to the timer counter is set. In addition, a release command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. After that, by subtracting 1 from the special figure special electric counter, the value of the counter is updated to the one corresponding to the special electric opening processing (step S309).

On the other hand, when the end condition of the opening / closing execution mode is satisfied, the ending command is transmitted to the sound / light side MPU 92. The ending command is a command for causing the sound light side MPU 92 to recognize that it is the timing to start the effect for the ending. The ending command also includes information indicating which of the various big hit results and the small hit results is the game result that triggered the open / close execution mode. Therefore, the sound / light side MPU 92 can execute the ending effect in a manner corresponding to the game result that triggered the opening / closing execution mode. Further, the information of the ending period (for example, 6 sec) stored in advance in the main ROM 73 is read out, and the information of the ending time is set in the timer counter. By the way, the ending time is constant regardless of the type of game result that triggered the transition to the open / close execution mode. After that, by adding 1 to the special electric power counter, the value of the counter is updated to the one corresponding to the special electric power termination process (step S311).

<Special train end processing>
Next, the special electric power termination process of step S311 in the special figure special electric power control process (FIG. 12) will be described.

In the special electric train end processing, it is determined whether or not the ending period has passed, and if the ending period has passed, the content of the winning / failing lottery mode after the opening / closing execution mode is used as an opportunity to shift to the opening / closing execution mode this time. Set the content according to the type of jackpot result, and clear the special figure special electric counter to "0". If the trigger for shifting to the open / close execution mode is a small hit result, the win / fail lottery mode before the start of the open / close execution mode is maintained as the win / fail lottery mode after the end of the open / close execution mode. To.

<Fuzu Fuden control processing>
Next, the general-purpose electric control processing executed in step S215 of the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 11) will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When a prize has been generated in the through winning unit 34 (step S601: YES), the maximum number of reserved information on the normal drawing side stored in the first area 117a to the fourth area 117d of the normal drawing holding area 116 is the maximum number. On condition that the number is less than four (step S602: NO), the storage process in the normal figure holding area 116 is executed (step S603). In the storage process, the numerical information of the Fuden random number counter C4 is used as the Fuzu side hold information, and among the areas in which the Fuzu side hold information is not stored in the first area 117a to the fourth area 117d of the Fuzu hold area 116. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order. In addition, when the general map side hold information is acquired, the data setting for updating the display contents of the normal figure hold display unit 39b in accordance with the increase in the number of normal map side hold information this time is set. Do.

When a negative determination is made in step S601, an affirmative determination is made in step S602, or the process of step S603 is executed, the normal drawing address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S604). .. In the Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The Fuzu Fuden counter can take values from "0" to "3", and each value from "0" to "3" corresponds to the start addresses NA0 to NA3 of each process (step S607 to step S610). ing. Specifically, when the value of the normal map normal power counter is "0", the normal figure fluctuation start process (step S607), which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 39a, is executed. Then, when the value of the normal map normal electric counter is "1", the normal figure change processing (step S608), which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 39a, is executed. When the value of the figure Fuden counter is "2", the Fuzu finalizing process (step S609), which is a process for ending the display continuation times in the Fuzu display unit 39a, is executed, and the Fuzu Fuden is executed. When the value of the counter is "3", the process during opening of the general electric power (step S610), which is a process for controlling the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35, is the execution target.

In the Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the Fuzu Fuden address table (step S604), the start address corresponding to the information of the Fuzu Fuden counter is acquired from the Fuzu Fuden address table (step S605). , Jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S606). Hereinafter, each process of steps S607 to S610 will be described individually.

<Public map fluctuation start processing>
First, the normal map fluctuation start process in step S607 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the normal map fluctuation start process, the data setting process is executed on condition that the normal map side hold information is stored (step S701: YES) (step S702). In the data setting process, the data stored in the first area 117a of the normal drawing holding area 116 is moved to the execution area 118 for the normal drawing. After that, the process of shifting the data stored in the storage area of the normal figure holding area 116 is executed. This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas 117a to 117d to the lower area side, clearing the data of the first area 117a and the second area 117b →. The data in each area is shifted such as 1st area 117a, 3rd area 117c → 2nd area 117b, 4th area 117d → 3rd area 117c. Further, in the data setting process, data setting is performed so that the display contents of the normal figure hold display unit 39b are updated in accordance with the decrease in the number of normal figure hold information this time.

After executing the data setting process, the acceptance determination process is executed (step S703). In the acceptance determination process, the acceptance determination table is read from the main ROM 73, and the read acceptance determination table is used for the ordinary electric random number counter C4 in the hold information on the Fuzu side, which is the execution target of the acceptance determination process this time. Match numerical information. In this case, as already explained, there is a 98% probability that the winning result will be accepted.

When the result of the acceptance determination process is the acceptance winning result (step S704: YES), the stop result setting process for the acceptance winning result is executed (step S705). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the acceptance winning result to be finally stopped and displayed in the current display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. It should be noted that one type of pattern stop mode may be set for the acceptance winning result, or a plurality of types of pattern stop modes may be set for the acceptance winning result.

When the result of the acceptance determination process is not the acceptance winning result (step S704: NO), the stop result setting process for the dismissal result is executed (step S706). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the disengagement result to be finally stopped and displayed on the normal figure display unit 39a in the current display continuation time is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. The information on the mode of the pattern selected in this case is different from the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the acceptance winning result.

After executing any of the stop result setting processes, the specific process of the normal map fluctuation period is executed (step S707). After that, the variable display of the pattern on the normal map display unit 39a is started (step S708). A variable display table for normal drawings is stored in advance in the main ROM 73 as a table to be referred to by the main MPU 72 when the normal drawing display unit 39a is used to display the variable display of the pattern. When the variable display of the pattern is executed in the normal drawing display unit 39a, the same variable display table is used regardless of the result of the acceptance determination process. When the variable display of the pattern is performed on the normal map display unit 39a, the variable display of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern is repeated, but the variable display table for the general map shows the variable display of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern. Control data for one lap is set. Therefore, when the variable display of the pattern is performed on the normal map display unit 39a, the variable display table for the normal map is repeatedly used until immediately before the final display is performed. After that, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1 (step S709). As a result, the value of the normal map normal electric counter becomes "1" corresponding to the normal figure fluctuation processing (step S608).

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a process for specifying the normal map fluctuation period in step S707. First, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side stored in the first area 117a to 117d of the normal drawing holding area 116 is equal to or larger than the reference number (step S801). Specifically, the reference number is two.

If a negative determination is made in step S801, a lottery process for selecting a period is executed (step S802). In the lottery process, numerical information is acquired from a random number counter that is periodically (for example, 4 milliseconds cycle) updated in the main RAM 74, and the acquired numerical information is stored in a period selection table stored in advance in the main ROM 73. Match against. The period selection table is set so that the selection winning result is obtained with a probability of 1/500.

When the result of the lottery process for period selection is not the selection winning result but the wrong result (step S803: NO), the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S804). As already explained, the duration of the first display is 0.45 seconds. When the result of the lottery process for period selection is the selection winning result (step S803: YES), the second display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S805). As already explained, the duration of the second display is 10.4 seconds. That is, when the number of reserved information on the general drawing side is less than the reference number, the first display continuation period is selected in the lottery process for period selection unless the selection winning result is obtained, and in the lottery process for period selection. The second display continuation period is selected when the selection winning result is obtained. Since the probability of this selection winning result is 1/500, the probability of a jackpot result in the low probability mode triggered by the hold information on the first special figure side or the hold information on the second special figure side (specifically). Has a lower probability than 1/200). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and since the probability of the selection winning result is set to 1/100 or the like, the probability of the selection winning result is the reserved information on the first special drawing side or the second. The probability of a jackpot result in the low probability mode (specifically, 1/200) may be higher than the probability of a jackpot result (specifically, 1/200) triggered by the hold information on the special figure side, and the probability of a selected winning result is set to 1/200. Therefore, the probability that the selection winning result will be the jackpot result in the low probability mode triggered by the hold information on the first special figure side or the hold information on the second special figure side (specifically, 1). The configuration may be the same as / 200).

On the other hand, when the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is equal to or larger than the reference number, an affirmative determination is made in step S801, and the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S806). .. That is, when the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is equal to or larger than the reference number, the third display continuation period is surely selected without executing the lottery process. As already explained, the duration of the third display is 1 second.

When any of the processes of steps S804 to S806 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in any of steps S804 to S806 is set in the timer counter on the normal side of the main RAM 74 (step S807). The update of the numerical information set in the timer counter on the normal drawing side is executed in the timer update process of step S210 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11).

<Processing during fluctuation of general map>
Next, the processing during the fluctuation of the normal map in step S608 in the normal drawing control process (FIG. 15) will be described.

In the normal map fluctuation processing, it is determined whether or not the display is being continuously rotated and the timing is before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the timer counter on the normal drawing side, which measures the display continuation period of the display continuation times this time, is 0.4 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. Before the final display, a process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern on the normal map display unit 39a is executed. This regular change continues until it is time to start the final display. In addition, this regular change is made in a certain manner regardless of whether or not the result is a winning result. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the normal figure display unit 39a is set to the display mode corresponding to the determination result of the acceptance determination process this time. Then, by adding 1 to the value of the normal map normal electric counter, the value of the counter is updated from the one corresponding to the normal figure changing process to the one corresponding to the normal figure finalizing process.

<Processing during confirmation of general map>
Next, the process during the determination of the normal figure in step S609 in the normal figure general control process (FIG. 15) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

By determining whether or not the value of the timer counter that measures the display continuation period of the current display continuation time is "0", the final display period of the current display continuation time (specifically, 0. It is determined whether or not 4 seconds) has elapsed (step S901). When the confirmed display period has elapsed (step S901: YES), it is determined whether or not the result of the acceptance determination process in the current display continuation time is the acceptance winning result (step S902). If it is not the result of winning the acceptance (step S902: NO), after clearing the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter to "0" (Step S903), the processing during the determination of this Fuzu is terminated.

If it is a winning result (step S902: YES), "1" is set as information on the number of times the special winning device 35 is opened and closed in the general electric opening counter provided in the main RAM 74 (step S904). Further, "10" is set as information on the maximum number of winnings to the special winning device 35 in the current acceptance execution state in the general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 (step S905). In addition, information corresponding to 0.1 seconds is set in the timer counter on the normal drawing side as information on the open duration of the special winning device 35 (step S906). Further, by starting the output of the drive signal to the open / close drive unit 47, the special winning device 35 is put into the receiving state (step S907). After that, the Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1. As a result, the value of the normal power counter becomes "3" corresponding to the normal power opening process (step S610).

<Processing while the public train is open>
Next, the process during opening of the normal power in step S610 in the normal power control process (FIG. 15) will be described.

In the processing during the opening of the general electric power, when a prize is generated in the special winning device 35, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the general electric winning counter of the main RAM 74. Then, when the value of the general power winning counter is "0", the value of the general power release counter of the main RAM 74 is cleared to "0", and the output of the drive signal to the open / close drive unit 47 is stopped. The special winning device 35 is set to the non-accepting state. Then, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing round of the Fuzu Fuden control process becomes the Fuzu variation start process (step S607). Further, even if the value of the general power winning counter is not "0", if the value of the normal power timer counter of the main RAM 74 is "0", the general power winning counter and the general power of the main RAM 74 are used. The value of the power release counter is cleared to "0", and the output of the drive signal to the open / close drive unit 47 is stopped to put the special winning device 35 in the non-accepted state. Then, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing round of the Fuzu Fuden control process becomes the Fuzu variation start process (step S607).

<Relationship between the display duration of the general map display unit 39a and the acceptance status of the special winning device 35>
Next, the relationship between the display duration of the general map display unit 39a and the acceptance state of the special winning device 35 will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. FIG. 19 (a) shows the period during which the game ball passes through the through winning unit 34, and FIG. 19 (b) shows the period during which the game ball exists at a position where the special winning device 35 can be won. FIG. 19 (c) shows the period during which the display continuation times are executed on the normal drawing display unit 39a, and FIG. 19 (d) shows the period during which the special winning device 35 is in the accepting state. e) indicates the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side.

As described above, all the game balls flowing into the left area PA2 will win the through winning unit 34, and if the game balls continue to be launched so as to flow down the left area PA2, the through winning unit 34 The game ball reaches the position in a cycle of 0.6 seconds. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19A, the timing of t1, the timing of t3, the timing of t6, the timing of t8, the timing of t10, the timing of t12, the timing of t14, the timing of t16, the timing of t19 and the timing of t22. A game ball will win a prize in the through winning section 34 in each of the above.

The through winning section 34 has a through hole, and by passing through the through hole, a prize is generated in the through winning section 34, and the game ball winning the through winning section 34 flows down the game area PA as it is. continue. Then, the game ball that has won the through winning section 34 reaches a position where the special winning device 35 can be won within a range of 0.65 seconds to 0.7 seconds after winning the through winning section 34. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19B, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t1 reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be won at the timing of t4, and at the timing of t3. The game ball that won the through winning section 34 reaches the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 at the timing of t7, and the game ball that won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t6 wins the special prize at the timing of t9. The game ball that has reached the position where it is possible to win the device 35 and has won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t8 reaches the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 at the timing of t11, and at the timing of t10. The game ball that won the through winning section 34 at the timing reaches the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 at the timing of t13, and the game ball that won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t12 reaches the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 at the timing of t15. The game ball that has reached the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 and has won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t16 reaches the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 at the timing of t20. The game ball that has won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t19 will reach the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 at the timing of t23.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the general drawing extends from the timing of t1 to the timing of t2, triggered by the winning of the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t1 when the holding information on the normal drawing side is not stored. As shown in FIG. 19 (c), the timing of t3 ~ The display continuation times in the normal map display unit 39a will occur over the timing of t5. When these display continuation times are started, the display continuation of these display continuation times is continued because the selection winning result is not obtained in the lottery process for period selection (step S802) in the specification process (FIG. 17) of the normal map fluctuation period. The period is the first display continuation period. Then, after the display continuation times of the first display continuation period are completed, the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance state at each of the timing of t2 and the timing of t5 as shown in FIG. 19D. The first display continuation period is 0.45 seconds as described above, and even if the acceptance execution state is started thereafter, the period during which the acceptance state of the special winning device 35 is maintained by the acceptance execution state is 0. Since it is .1 second, the total period of 0.55 seconds is shorter than the firing cycle of the game ball, 0.6 seconds. Therefore, no new prize is generated for the through winning unit 34 in the continuous display times of the normal drawing display unit 39a and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35, and as shown in FIG. 19 (e), the normal drawing side. Hold information is not stored on hold.

Further, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t1 wins the special winning device 35 at the timing of t4, which is the timing after the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 triggered by the game ball is completed. The game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t3 is the timing of t7, which is the timing after the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 triggered by the game ball is completed. Then, the position where the special winning device 35 can be won is reached. Therefore, these game balls do not win the special prize device 35 in the acceptance execution state executed by themselves. Furthermore, to explain by taking as an example the display continuation times of the normal map display unit 39a from the timing of t3 to the timing of t5, the ball was fired one before the game ball winning the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t3. The game ball will reach the position where the special winning device 35 can be won at the timing of t4, but after the game ball has passed the position where the special winning device 35 can be won, the game The acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 triggered by the game ball winning the through winning section 34 next to the ball is started. Therefore, in a situation where the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the general map display unit 39a, basically no prize is generated in the special prize device 35.

As shown in FIG. 19 (c), as shown in FIG. 19 (c), in the normal map display unit 39a from the timing of t6 to the timing of t17, triggered by the winning of the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t6 when the holding information on the normal drawing side is not stored. Display continuation times occur. When the display continuation time is started, the display continuation of the display continuation time is continued by the selection winning result in the lottery process for period selection (step S802) in the specification process (FIG. 17) of the normal map fluctuation period. The period is the second display continuation period. The second display continuation period is 10.4 seconds as described above, and even if the acceptance execution state is subsequently started, the period during which the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 is maintained according to the acceptance execution state is Since it is 0.1 seconds, the total period of 10.5 seconds is longer than four times the firing cycle of the game ball. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), the through winning unit is included in each of the t8 timing, the t10 timing, the t12 timing, and the t14 timing included in the period from the timing of t6 to the timing of t18 corresponding to these total periods. A prize is awarded to 34, and as shown in FIG. 19 (e), the holding information on the normal drawing side is held and stored at each timing. Then, at the timing of t14, the number of reserved storages of the reserved information on the normal drawing side reaches the upper limit number.

After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (d), at the timing of t18, the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 triggered by the display continuation times started at the timing of t6 ends, so that FIG. 19 (c) shows. As shown, at the timing of t18, a new display continuation time in the normal map display unit 39a is started, and as shown in FIG. 19 (e), the number of reserved information on the normal map side is subtracted by one. To. In this case, since the specification process (FIG. 17) of the normal map fluctuation period in the new display continuation time is executed in the situation where the number of reserved information on the normal map side is equal to or more than the reference number (specifically, 2). The third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period in the specific process. The third display continuation period is 1 second as described above, and even if the acceptance execution state is continuously started after that, the period during which the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 is maintained according to the acceptance execution state is 0. Since it is 1 second, the total period of 1.1 seconds is longer than the firing cycle of the game ball. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19A, the through winning unit 34 is newly added at the timing of t19, which is the timing before the timing at which the new display continuation time of the normal drawing display unit 39a can be started. When a prize is won, as shown in FIG. 19E, the holding information on the normal drawing side is newly acquired at the timing of t19, and the number of holding storages of the holding information on the normal drawing side becomes the upper limit number. As a result, when the number of reserved information on the normal map side becomes equal to or greater than the reference number and the third display continuous period is selected as the display continuous period of the normal map display unit 39a, the left side area PA2 flows down. By continuing to launch the game ball in this way, the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected is continued.

However, the above total period of 1.1 seconds is shorter than twice the firing cycle of the game ball. Therefore, the number of game balls that win the through winning unit 34 during the total period of the display continuation times of the third display continuation period and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 triggered by the display continuation times is basically one. And there are at most two. In this case, even if the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side exceeds the reference number due to the selection of the second display continuation period, the display continuation times of the third display continuation period and the display continuation times are triggered. The through winning section 34 is awarded during the total period of the display continuation time of the third display continuation period of the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 triggered by the display continuation time. If is not generated once, the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected cannot be continued. Therefore, in a situation where the third display continuation period is selected, attention is paid to whether or not the game ball wins the through winning unit 34, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Here, the situation where the number of reserved information on the normal map side is equal to or greater than the reference number and the third display continuation period is repeatedly selected as the display continuation period of the normal figure display unit 39a is triggered by the hold information on the first special figure side. When the jackpot result is selected in the winning / failing determination process and the first open / close execution mode occurs, the process is automatically terminated. That is, in the first open / close execution mode, the special electric winning device 36 is opened and closed, and a large number of game balls are paid out by generating a prize in the special electric winning device 36. The special electric winning device 36 is provided in the right side region PA3, and when the firing operation is continued so as to flow down the right side region PA3, the through winning portion 34 provided in the left side region PA2 is not won. Then, the longest period required for all the display continuation times of the upper limit number of reserved information on the normal drawing side and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 to end is longer than the shortest period required for the first opening / closing execution mode to end. Is also short. Furthermore, one round game in the first open / close execution mode is the longest period required for all the display continuation times of the maximum number of reserved information on the normal drawing side and the end of the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35. It is shorter than the shortest time required to complete. Therefore, the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the normal figure display unit 39a can basically be terminated when the first opening / closing execution mode occurs, and the third display continuation period can be terminated. It is possible to prevent the situation in which the display duration is selected from continuing for an excessively long time.

The third display continuation period is selected when the display continuation period is started in a situation where the reference number (specifically, two) or more of the reserved information on the normal drawing side is stored. Therefore, the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected occurs after the display continuation times due to the second display continuation period occur. Further, when the third display continuation period is selected as described above, if the acceptance execution state does not occur, the next display continuation time can be started after the display continuation time in the normal figure display unit 39a is started. The period until the acceptance execution state is 1 second, and even if the acceptance execution state occurs, the period from the start of the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 39a to the end of the acceptance execution state is 1.1 seconds. In this case, the probability of winning the acceptance execution state in the internal lottery corresponding to the occurrence of continuous display times is set to a high probability, specifically 98%. Therefore, when the display continuation times occur, the acceptance execution state generally occurs. In addition, in a situation where the launch of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2, one ball is basically launched every 0.6 seconds, which is the firing cycle of the game ball, at a position where the ball can enter the special winning device 35. The game ball arrives at the rate of, but an error of about 0.1 second may occur depending on the flow mode of the game ball. Therefore, when the display continuation times for which the third display continuation period is selected are repeatedly selected, the special winning device 35 is won with a probability of about 1/11. Specifically, in the case of FIG. 19, the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 from the timing of t21 to the timing of t24 after the display continuation times of the third display continuation period extending from the timing of t18 to the timing of t21 is completed. As shown in FIG. 19 (b), the game ball reaches a position where it is possible to win the special prize device 35 at the timing of t23, which is the timing in the middle of the above, so that the game ball wins the special prize device 35. Become. The number of game balls to be paid out when a prize is won in the special winning device 35 is 11. That is, in a configuration in which when 11 game balls are supplied to the left side region PA2, one of them may win the special winning device 35, 11 balls are generated by winning the special winning device 35. The game ball is paid out. Therefore, if the launch of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the left side region PA2 in the situation where the display continuation time in which the third display continuation period is selected is repeatedly selected, the player's ball is held. The increase / decrease is repeated with about 11 pieces, and it is possible to make it possible to hardly increase / decrease the number of balls held by the player during the period in which the display continuation period in which the third display continuation period is selected is repeatedly selected.

According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

A through winning unit 34 and a special winning device 35 are provided in the left area PA2, and the special winning device is obtained by the acceptance determination process executed based on the winning of the game ball in the through winning unit 34. 35 is in the accepting state. Further, when the special winning device 35 is in the accepting state, the special winning device 35 is in the accepting state after the display continuation times including the variable display of the pattern are executed in the normal drawing display unit 39a. As a result, the player can predict in advance that the special winning device 35 will be in the accepting state. In this case, if the third display continuation period is set as the display continuation period of the display continuation times, it is possible to win a prize in the special prize device 35 in the situation where the special prize device 35 is in the accepting state. While the game ball can reach the position, if the first display continuation period is set as the display continuation period of the display continuation times, the special prize device 35 is in the accepting state. The game ball basically does not reach the position where the device 35 can be won. As a result, the player expects that the third display continuation period is set as a predetermined period, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Further, since it is possible to cause the above situation by adjusting the display continuation period of the display continuation times, the control of switching the special winning device 35 between the accepted state and the non-accepted state is complicated. It is possible to achieve the above-mentioned excellent effect without any problem.

Regardless of whether the first display continuation period or the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a, the control mode of the special winning device 35 in the acceptance execution state is constant. is there. As a result, it is possible to achieve the above-mentioned excellent effects while simplifying the configuration of the control process for switching the special winning device 35 between the accepted state and the non-accepted state.

The first display duration, in which the special prize device 35 is basically not awarded, is shorter than the third display duration, in which the special prize device 35 can be prized at a predetermined frequency. It has become. As a result, it is possible to prevent one display continuation time corresponding to the fact that the special prize device 35 is basically not generated from being excessively continued.

The third display continuation period is a period equal to or longer than the launch cycle of the game ball, and the first display continuation period is a period shorter than the launch cycle of the game ball. As a result, in a situation where the third display continuation period is set as the display continuation period of the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a, one or more game balls are supplied to the positions where the through winning unit 34 can win a prize. On the other hand, in the situation where the first display continuation period is set, it is possible to reduce the number of game balls that are wasted in the range in which one display continuation time is executed. Is possible.

In the left side region PA2, the through winning unit 34 is provided on the upstream side of the special winning device 35, and the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 can reach a position where the special winning device 35 can be entered. As a result, it is possible to generate both the winning of the through winning section 34 and the winning of the special winning device 35 by one game ball. In this case, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 surely reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered. This makes it easier to identify the relative relationship between the timing at which the game ball arrives at the position where the special winning device 35 can enter the special winning device 35 with respect to the timing at which the display continuation rotation of the normal figure display unit 39a is started. It becomes easy to adjust the ease of entering the game ball into the special winning device 35 with respect to the setting of the period.

The first display continuation period is a period shorter than the shortest period required for the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 to reach the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered. As a result, when the first display continuation period is set in the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a, the game ball that wins the through winning unit 34 and starts the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a. Can be prevented from winning the special winning device 35.

The first display continuation period is the firing order one before the predetermined game ball when the measurement of the first display continuation period is started when the predetermined game ball wins the through winning unit 34. This is the period that elapses after the game ball of No. 3 has passed the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered. As a result, when the first display continuation period is set in the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a, a predetermined game in which the through winning unit 34 is won and the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a is started. Both the ball and the game ball in the firing order immediately before the predetermined game ball win the special winning device 35 which is in the accepted state based on the winning of the through winning section 34 by the predetermined game ball. It is possible to avoid it. Therefore, when the first display continuation period is set in the display continuation times of the general drawing display unit 39a, it is possible to basically disable the winning of the special winning device 35.

When the third display continuation period is set in the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a, the special winning device 35 is reached when the game balls are continuously supplied to the positions where the special winning device 35 can win a prize. The probability of winning a prize is 1/11, whereas when one game ball is won in the special prize device 35, 11 game balls are given to the player. As a result, when the third display continuation period is set, it is possible to aim for a prize in the special winning device 35 while substantially not increasing or decreasing the number of game balls owned by the player.

When the first display continuation period is set in the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a, even if the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs after the display continuation time, the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a The period required to start a new game is shorter than the firing cycle of the game ball. Therefore, when the first display continuation period is set, the general drawing side hold information is basically not acquired. As a result, when the first display continuation period is set, the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a are started at the timing when the game ball wins the through winning unit 34, so that the first display In the situation where the duration is set, the relationship between the timing when the game ball reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered and the timing when the special winning device 35 is in the accepting state is determined at the design stage of the pachinko machine 10. It is possible to make the relationship assumed in. Therefore, when the first display continuation period is set, it becomes easy to design so that the special winning device 35 basically does not receive a prize.

When the third display continuation period is set in the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a, the normal figure display unit 39a regardless of whether or not the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs after the display continuation time. The period required to newly start the display continuation times of is longer than the firing cycle of the game ball. Therefore, when the third display continuation period is set, the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a are likely to be started at a timing different from the timing when the through winning unit 34 is awarded. Therefore, when the third display continuation period is set, the relationship between the timing at which the game ball reaches the position where the special winning device 35 can be entered and the timing at which the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state is determined. It can be irregular.

When the display continuation times of the normal map display unit 39a are started in the situation where the holding information on the normal map side is not stored in the holding state of the reference number or more, the first display continuation period is set as the display continuation period of the display continuation times. A third display continuation period is set as the display continuation period of the display continuation times when the display continuation times of the ordinary map display unit 39a are started in a situation where the holding information on the normal map side of the reference number or more is held and stored. .. As a result, the player who expects the special winning device 35 to win a prize will pay attention to whether or not the holding information on the normal drawing side of the reference number or more is acquired, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Become.

Further, as described above, when the third display continuation period is set, the display continuation of the general map display unit 39a is performed regardless of whether or not the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs after the display continuation times. The period required to start a new round is longer than the firing cycle of the game ball. As a result, once the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side that exceeds the reference number is temporarily stored, the situation in which the third display continuation period is set is maintained by continuously generating a prize in the through winning unit 34. Is possible.

The reference number is set as a plurality of numbers. As a result, in a situation where the first display continuation period is set in the display continuation times of the normal map display unit 39a, a prize is accidentally generated in the through winning unit 34, and one normal map side hold information is acquired. Even so, the third display duration is not set after that. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for a situation in which the third display continuation period is set to occur.

It is possible to win a prize in the special winning device 35 at a predetermined frequency when the display continuous rotation of the normal drawing display unit 39a is started in a situation where the holding information on the normal drawing side is stored in the holding state of the reference number or more. The third display duration is set. As a result, the player's advantage differs depending on the status of the reserved information on the normal drawing side, so that the player can pay attention to whether or not the reserved information on the normal drawing side is stored on hold. , It becomes possible to improve the interest of the game.

The second display continuation period is set in the display continuation times of the general map display unit 39a by selecting and winning in the lottery process for period selection in the situation where the reserved information on the normal map side is not stored in the hold of the reference number or more. To. Then, when the second display continuation period is set, the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a is newly set regardless of whether or not the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs after the display continuation time. By the time it is possible to start the game, it is possible to make the through winning unit 34 win a number of game balls larger than the reference number. As a result, in a situation where the first display continuation period is repeatedly set in the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a, it is possible to generate an opportunity to switch to a situation in which the third display continuation period is set. .. Further, such switching can be realized by setting the display duration.

When the second display continuation period is set, it is possible to make the through winning section 34 win a number of game balls that are two or more more than the reference number. In this case, the holding information on the normal drawing side is the reference number. Two or more will be stored on hold. As a result, when the second display continuation period is set, it is possible to continue the situation in which the third display continuation period is set for a long time in the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a. Become.

The through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 are provided in the left side area PA2, while the special electric winning device 36 is provided in the right side area PA3. As a result, the transition to the open / close execution mode occurred in a situation where the number of reserved information on the normal map side exceeding the reference number is stored on hold and the third display continuous period is repeatedly set in the display continuous times of the normal map display unit 39a. In this case, even if the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a, which is the third display continuation period, is executed in parallel with the open / close execution mode, the firing operation is performed aiming at winning the special electric winning device 36, and the through Since no prize is given to the winning unit 34, the holding information on the normal drawing side, which is equal to or larger than the reference number, is not stored on hold during the opening / closing execution mode. Therefore, it is possible to end the situation in which the third display continuation period is repeatedly set when the open / close execution mode occurs, so that the situation in which the third display continuation period is repeatedly set does not continue excessively. It becomes possible to do.

In addition, for the shortest period required from the start to the end of the open / close execution mode, in a situation where the maximum number of reserved information on the normal map side is reserved and stored, more than the reference number of reserved information on the normal map side is reserved and stored. The period is set to be longer than the longest period required for the display continuation times of the general map display unit 39a to be started in a situation where the display is not performed. Therefore, when the open / close execution mode occurs, it is possible to reliably end the situation in which the third display continuation period is repeatedly set.

The winning / failing determination process is executed by acquiring the hold information on the first special drawing side based on the occurrence of winning the special winning device 35, and the opening / closing execution is executed when the jackpot result is selected in the winning / failing determination process. The mode occurs. As a result, it is expected that a prize will be generated in the special winning device 35, and as a result, whether or not the second display continuation period or the third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the general map display unit 39a. It is possible to draw the attention of the crab player. Further, even when a prize is generated in the special prize device 35 in a configuration in which the hold information on the first special figure side is acquired based on the prize in the first operating unit 32, the first special figure side Hold information is acquired. As a result, the player who expects to shift to the open / close execution mode expects not only the winning of the first operating unit 32 but also the winning of the special winning device 35, which is a hobby of the game. It is possible to improve.

The first operating unit 32, the through winning unit 34, and the special winning device 35 are all provided at positions where the game ball can reach when the firing operation is performed so as to flow down the left side region PA2. As a result, by performing a firing operation so that the game ball flows down the left side region PA2, it is possible to aim for the generation of a prize for all of the first operating unit 32, the through winning unit 34, and the special winning device 35. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the excellent effect as described above while suppressing the complicated firing operation.

<Another form of the first embodiment>
(1) When the open / close execution mode occurs, the hold information on the normal drawing side may be deleted. In this case, if the open / close execution mode is set in the situation where the third display continuation period is selected, it is possible to forcibly shift to the situation where the third display continuation period is not selected, triggered by the open / close execution mode. ..

(2) Even if the holding information on the normal drawing side is acquired, the special winning device 35 will not be in the acceptance execution state unless the acceptance winning result is obtained in the acceptance judgment process, but when the holding information on the normal drawing side is acquired. The special winning device 35 may be surely put into the receiving execution state, and the special winning device 35 may be put into the receiving execution state with a probability of about 100% when the holding information on the normal drawing side is acquired. Good.

(3) Instead of the configuration in which the holding information on the first special drawing side is acquired when a prize is won in the special winning device 35, the holding information on the second special drawing side may be acquired. In this configuration, for example, a combination of a through winning unit 34 and a special winning device 35 is provided in the right area PA3 instead of the second operating unit 33, and when the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode, the display unit 39a is displayed. When the first display continuation period is selected in the continuation time and the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode, the third display continuation period may be selected in the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a. As a result, in the low-probability mode, it becomes impossible or difficult to win a prize in the special winning device 35, and in the high-probability mode, it is possible or easy to win a prize in the special winning device 35. It will be possible. In addition, in this configuration, since it is necessary to have a configuration in which the reserved information on the second special figure side is acquired frequently in the high probability mode, the special winning device 35 when the third display continuation period is selected is used. It is preferable to increase the winning frequency of. Further, in the configuration, it is not preferable that the number of balls held by the player is extremely increased based on the winning of the special winning device 35. Therefore, the number of game balls to be paid out based on the winning of the special winning device 35 is one. It is preferable to use two or two.

(4) The second operating unit 33 is not provided in the configuration in which the holding information on the second special drawing side is acquired when a prize is generated in the special winning device 35 as in the other form of the above (3). On the other hand, a combination of the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 is provided in the upper region PA1, the left side region PA2 or the lower region PA4, and the game ball is provided in the game region PA so that it can flow down toward the first operating portion 32. If it is supplied, a prize may be generated in the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35. In this configuration, when the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode, the first display continuation period is basically selected in the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a, and the second display continuation period is set with a predetermined probability. When the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode, the third display continuation period may be selected in the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a. As a result, while the hold information on the second special figure side is acquired based on the winning of the special winning device 35 in the high probability mode, the special winning device 35 is won with a predetermined probability even in the low probability mode. Based on the above, it is possible to acquire the reserved information on the second special drawing side. In addition, in this configuration, since it is necessary to have a configuration in which the reserved information on the second special figure side is acquired frequently in the high probability mode, the special winning device 35 when the third display continuation period is selected is used. It is preferable to increase the winning frequency of. Further, in the configuration, it is not preferable that the number of balls held by the player is extremely increased based on the winning of the special winning device 35. Therefore, the number of game balls to be paid out based on the winning of the special winning device 35 is one. It is preferable to use two or two.

(5) Depending on the execution mode of the open execution state of the special winning device 35 in the first embodiment or another embodiment of the above (4), it is difficult to win a prize in the special winning device 35 and the special winning device 35. There may be a game state in which a prize is likely to occur. Specifically, in the former game state, the open execution state of the special winning device 35 is performed in the manner described in the first embodiment, and in the latter game state, the display unit 39a is displayed. The open execution state of the special winning device 35 is set so that the special winning device 35 is likely to be won regardless of the display continuation period in the continuous times. As a result, it is possible to generate a state in which a prize is generated in the special prize device 35 regardless of the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a. The latter gaming state may be configured to occur when the winning / failing lottery mode is set to the high probability mode, or may be added to or replaced with the configuration so as to surely occur after the opening / closing execution mode ends. .. Further, in the case of the latter gaming state, the latter gaming state may be continued until the next opening / closing execution mode occurs, and if the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode, the latter gaming state may be continued. The latter game state may be continued, or the latter game state may be continued from the end of the open / close execution mode until a predetermined number of game times are executed. The latter gaming state may be continued until the player is elected.

(6) The number of reserved information on the general map side, which is a reference for setting the third display continuation period in the continuous display times of the general map display unit 39a, is not limited to two, but is one. It may be 3 pieces, or 4 pieces, which is the upper limit number. When the reference number is 1, in a situation where two or more pieces of hold information on the normal figure side are held and stored, when the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a is newly started, the display continuation time is used. Since the third display continuation period is set, it is possible to further increase the player's attention to the holding and storage of the holding information on the normal drawing side.

(7) The number of reserved information on the general map side, which is a reference for setting the third display continuation period in the continuous display times of the general map display unit 39a, may be changed according to the game state. In this case, the player will play the game while expecting a small reference number of games to be played.

(8) The display continuation period in the display continuation time of the general map display unit 39a is not limited to the configuration in which both the second display continuation period and the third display continuation period exist, and one of these is used. When a certain target period exists and the selection winning result is obtained in the lottery process (step S802) for period selection in the specific process (FIG. 17) of the normal map fluctuation period, and the number of reserved information on the normal map side is If the number is equal to or greater than the reference number, the target period may be set. If the third display continuation period is set as the target period, it is necessary to create a situation in which the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is equal to or greater than the reference number. It is preferable to make it longer than the embodiment or reduce the number of reference numbers.

(9) If the display continuation time of the normal figure display unit 39a cannot be started and the display continuation time is started after that, the third display continuation period May be set. In this case, it is possible to increase the frequency with which the third display duration is set.

(10) When the special electric winning device 36 is in the open state, a game ball can be entered into the special electric winning device 36, and when the special electric winning device 36 is in the closed state, the game ball can be entered into the special electric winning device 36. It is not limited to the configuration in which the ball cannot be entered, and even when the special electric winning device 36 is in the closed state, the game ball can be entered into the special electric winning device 36, but it is in the open state. The configuration may be such that it is more difficult for the game ball to enter the special electric winning device 36 than in the case.

(11) Limited to a configuration in which a third display continuation period is surely set when the display continuation times of the normal map display unit 39a are started in a situation where the number of reserved information on the normal map side is held and stored in excess of the reference number. It may be configured so that the third display duration can be easily set. Specifically, regardless of whether the number of reserved information on the normal map side is not stored on hold or the number of reserved information on the normal map side is stored on hold in excess of the reference number, the normal map display unit 39a Although the third display continuation period can be set in the display continuation times, the situation in which the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is held and stored is the situation in which the holding information on the normal drawing side is not held and stored in the reference number or more. The configuration may be such that the third display continuation period is more easily set in the display continuation times of the normal map display unit 39a.

(12) Instead of the configuration in which the third display continuation period is set when the reference number or more of the normal map side hold information is held and stored at the timing of determining the display continuation period in the display continuation time of the normal map display unit 39a. When the data setting process (step S702) in the normal map fluctuation start process (FIG. 16) is held and stored at a timing before the data setting process (step S702) is executed, the third display continuation period is set. It may be a configuration to be set.

<Second embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the processing configuration of the specific processing of the normal map fluctuation period in the main MPU 72 is different from that of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be basically omitted.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a specific process of the normal map fluctuation period in the present embodiment. When the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is not equal to or more than the reference number (step S1001: NO), the lottery process for period selection is executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment (step S1002), and the result is not the selected winning result. (Step S1003: NO), the first display continuation period is selected (step S1004), and if it is a winning result (step S1003: YES), the second display continuation period is selected (step S1005).

On the other hand, when the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is equal to or greater than the reference number (step S1001: YES), the lottery process for short-term selection is executed (step S1006). In the lottery process for short-term selection, numerical information is acquired from a random number counter that is periodically (for example, 4 milliseconds cycle) updated in the main RAM 74, and the acquired numerical information is stored in advance in the main ROM 73 for a short period of time. Match against the selection table. The short-term selection table is set so that the selection winning result is obtained with a probability of 1/300, which is higher than the probability of the selection winning result in the lottery process for period selection in step S1002. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be lower than the probability that the selection winning result will be obtained in the lottery process for period selection in step S1002, or may be the same or substantially the same configuration.

When the result of the lottery process for short-term selection is not the selection winning result but the wrong result (step S1007: NO), the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S1008). .. On the other hand, when the result of the lottery process for short-term selection is the selection winning result (step S1007: YES), the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S1004).

When any of the processes of step S1004, step S1005, and step S1008 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in any of these processes is set in the timer counter on the normal side of the main RAM 74 (step S1009). ..

According to the present embodiment described in detail above, even if the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is equal to or greater than the reference number, the selection winning result is obtained in the lottery process for short-term selection. Is selected for the first display duration instead of the third display duration. Then, when the first display continuation period is selected, a new game ball is awarded to the through winning unit 34 during the total period of the display continuation times of the normal figure display unit 39a and the subsequent acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35. Can not be expected. As a result, even if the number of reserved information on the normal map side is equal to or greater than the reference number, the first display continuation period is selected instead of the third display continuation period as the display continuation period of the normal map display unit 39a. It is possible to generate the information, and even if the number of reserved information on the normal map side is equal to or greater than the reference number, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the display continuation period of the normal map display unit 39a.

If the selection winning result is obtained in the lottery process for short-term selection, the display continuation period of the general map display unit 39a is until the number of reserved information on the general map side reaches the reference number or becomes 0. The first display duration may be reliably selected as the above. As a result, it is possible to reliably end the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected when the selection winning result is obtained in the lottery process for short-term selection.

<Third embodiment>

The third normal map side hold information stored in the first area 143a is shifted to the third normal figure execution area 143e when the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 are started.

In the execution area 144 for the fourth normal figure, a situation in which the display continuous times can be started in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 (that is, the display continuous times are not performed in the fourth normal figure display unit 134, and the display continuous times are not performed. Further, when a prize is generated in the through winning unit 34 in a situation where the special winning device 35 is not in the acceptance execution state), the numerical information of the normal electric random number counter C11 is stored as the fourth normal drawing side hold information. Here, as described above, the first to fourth areas 141a to 141d, 142a to 142d, and 143a to 143d are included in the first normal figure holding area 141, the second normal figure holding area 142, and the third normal figure holding area 143. In contrast to the configuration in which the corresponding normal map side hold information is held and stored even in a situation where the corresponding normal map display units 131 to 133 cannot start the display continuation times. As for the 4th normal drawing side reserved information, only the 4th normal drawing execution area 144 is provided, and the area for holding and storing the 4th normal drawing side holding information is not provided. As a result, it is possible to handle the presence / absence of hold storage differently between the 1st to 3rd normal drawing side hold information and the 4th normal drawing side hold information.

Each of the above counters will be described in detail.

First, the general electric random number counter C11 will be described. The normal electric random number counter C11 is configured to add 1 in order within the range of "0 to 99" and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. In this case, when the normal electric random number counter C11 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter C13 at that time is read as the initial value of the general electric random number counter C11. The random number initial value counter C13 is a loop counter similar to the general electric random number counter C11 (value = 0 to 99).

The normal electric random number counter C11 is updated periodically, and as described above, the value of the general electric random number counter C11 at that time is the first normal figure at the timing when the game ball wins the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35. It is stored in the holding area 141, and the value of the normal electric random number counter C11 at that time is stored in the second normal drawing holding area 142 at the timing when the game ball wins in the first normal electric device 121, and the game ball is stored in the specific operating unit 124. The value of the normal electric random number counter C11 at that time is stored in the third normal figure holding area 143 at the timing when the prize is won, and the value of the general electric random number counter C11 at that time is stored at the timing when the game ball wins the through winning unit 34. It is stored in the execution area 144 for the fourth normal drawing. Then, at a predetermined timing, whether or not to control the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 to the open execution state by the value of the stored general electric random number counter C11. The opening determination is performed, and the acceptance determination as to whether or not to control the special winning device 35 to the acceptance execution state is performed.

Although there is no mode for changing the winning probability in the opening determination and the acceptance determination, a mode for changing the winning probability may exist. For example, there may be a configuration in which there are a plurality of modes for different winning probabilities in the opening determination using the first normal figure holding information stored in the first normal figure holding area 141, and the second normal figure holding area 142. There may be a configuration in which there are a plurality of modes for different winning probabilities in the opening determination using the second normal figure side hold information stored in the third normal figure hold area 143, and the third normal figure stored in the third normal figure hold area 143. There may be a configuration in which there are a plurality of modes for different winning probabilities in the opening judgment using the side hold information, and acceptance using the fourth normal figure side hold information stored in the execution area 144 for the fourth normal figure. There may be a configuration in which a plurality of modes having different winning probabilities in the determination exist.

Next, the reach random number counter C12 will be described. The reach random number counter C12 is configured to be added one by one in order within the range of, for example, "0" to "238", and return to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The reach random number counter C12 is periodically updated, and the value of the reach random number counter C12 at that time is acquired at the timing of starting the display continuation times including the variable display of the pattern on the first general figure display unit 131. Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the display continuation times on the first general figure display unit 131 are started, the symbol display device 51 corresponds to the effect for the game times in the first embodiment. When the symbol variation display is started and the display continuation times on the first general symbol display unit 131 are terminated, the final stop display after the symbol variation display on the symbol display device 51 is terminated. Then, when the stop result corresponding to the opening execution state of the first normal electric device 121 is displayed on the first normal figure display unit 131, the combination of the same symbols is stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 51. When the stop result corresponding to the fact that the first normal electric device 121 is not set to the open execution state is displayed in the first normal figure display unit 131, the symbol display device 51 corresponds to the deviation result different from the combination of the same symbols. The combination of symbols to be used is stopped and displayed. When the display continuation times corresponding to the deviation result are executed in the configuration, it is determined whether or not to execute the reach display on the symbol display device 51 by using the value of the reach random number counter C12.

Next, the variation type counter C14 will be described. The variation type counter C14 is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of "0 to 198" and returned to "0" after reaching the maximum value. The variation type counter C14 is used in determining the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 by the main MPU 72.

<1st Fuzu Fuden control processing>
Next, various processes executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. First, the execution control of the continuous display times on the first general diagram display unit 131 and the execution control of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121 will be described. FIG. 24 is a slow chart showing the first normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated in the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35 (step S1101: YES), the first stored in the first area 141a to the fourth area 141d of the first general drawing holding area 141. On condition that the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S1102: NO), the storage process in the first normal drawing holding area 141 is executed (step S1103). In the storage process, the numerical information of the normal electric random number counter C11 is stored as the first normal figure side hold information, and the first normal figure side hold information in the first area 141a to the fourth area 141d of the first normal figure hold area 141 is stored. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order among the areas that have not been processed. When the 1st normal figure side hold information is acquired, the display contents of the 1st normal figure hold display unit 135 are updated in accordance with the increase in the number of 1st normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

When a negative determination is made in step S1101, an affirmative determination is made in step S1102, or the process of step S1103 is executed, whether or not the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, or a special winning device It is determined whether or not 35 is in the acceptance execution state (step S1104). If a negative determination is made in step S1104, the processes of steps S1105-step S1107 are executed. These processes will be described later. After that, the first general-purpose electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S1108). In the 1st Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the 1st Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The first Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the first Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The first normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "4", and each value of "0" to "4" is the start address NA10 to NA14 of each process (step S1111 to step S1115). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the first normal figure counter is "0", the first normal figure fluctuation start process (1st normal figure fluctuation start process) which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 ( Step S1111) is the execution target, and when the value of the first normal figure counter is "1", the first normal figure variation which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131. When the middle process (step S1112) is the execution target and the value of the first normal figure counter is "2", the first process for ending the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131. The process during determination of the normal figure (step S1113) is the execution target, and when the value of the first normal figure counter is "3", it is a process for controlling the open state of the first normal electric device 121. 1 The process during opening of the normal power (step S1114) is the execution target, and when the value of the normal power counter in the first figure is "4", it is a process for returning the first normal power device 121 to the open state again. The process during closing of the first normal electric power (step S1115) is the execution target.

In the first Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the first Fuzu Fuden address table (step S1108), the start address corresponding to the information of the first Fuzu Fuden counter is set to the first Fuzu Fuden address. It is acquired from the table (step S1109) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S1110). Hereinafter, each process of steps S1111 to S1115 will be described individually.

In the first normal figure fluctuation start process of step S1111, on the condition that the first normal figure side hold information is held and stored in the first normal figure holding area 141, it is held and stored in the first normal figure holding area 141. Executes the process of shifting the pending information on the first normal map side. Specifically, the hold information on the first normal map side stored in the first area 141a of the first normal figure hold area 141 is shifted to the execution area 141e for the first normal figure, and then the second area 141b → first. The 1st area reserved information is shifted so that 1 area 141a, 3rd area 141c → 2nd area 141b, and 4th area 141d → 3rd area 141c. When the hold information on the first normal figure side is shifted, the display contents of the hold display unit 135 on the first normal figure side are updated in accordance with the decrease in the number of hold information on the first normal figure side this time. Set the data to do so.

In the first normal map fluctuation start process, after the above shift process is executed, the first normal map open lottery process is performed using the first normal map side hold information newly shifted to the first normal map execution area 141e as a lottery value. To execute. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the first public power opening in the first public power opening lottery process is constant regardless of the gaming state, and specifically, the probability of winning the first public power is 1/100. It will be an open winning. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability of winning the first public electric train opening may be higher or lower than this.

In the first normal figure fluctuation start process, when the first normal electric open lottery process is executed, a process for specifying the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is executed. In the specific process, it is first determined whether or not the display continuation times this time correspond to the occurrence of the reach effect. Specifically, it is determined that a reach effect will occur when the display continuation times this time correspond to the first public electric opening winning. In addition, even when the display continuation times this time do not correspond to the first open-open winning, the value of the reach random number counter C12 is acquired, and the value of the acquired reach random number counter C12 corresponds to the reach generation. If it is numerical information, it is determined that a reach effect will occur. When it is determined that the reach effect is generated, the reach generation table is read from the main ROM 73, and the display continuation period is determined by collating the read reach generation table with the current numerical information of the variation type counter C14. Then, the determined display duration information is set in the first timer counter provided in the main RAM 74. When it is determined that the reach effect does not occur, the non-reach table is read from the main ROM 73, and the current numerical information of the variation type counter C14 and the current first number 1 for the read non-reach table. The display continuation period is determined by collating the combination of the number of reserved information on the normal drawing side, and the determined display continuation period information is set in the first timer counter provided in the main RAM 74. When the reach generation table is referenced, the display duration corresponding to the value of the variation type counter C14 is selected regardless of the number of reserved information on the first normal map side, whereas the reach non-generation table is selected. When referred to, the shorter the display duration is selected as the number of reserved information on the first general drawing side increases. The update of the numerical information set in the first timer counter is executed in the timer update process of step S210 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11). Incidentally, the display continuation period that can be selected when the first general drawing side hold information triggers the start of the display continuation times is 1 second to 180 seconds.

When the process for specifying the display continuation period is executed in the first normal figure fluctuation start process, the command corresponding to the result of the first normal electric open lottery process and the information of the determined display continuation period is read from the main ROM 73. , Transmit to the sound light side MPU 92. The sound / light side MPU 92 executes control so that the effect of continuous display rotation corresponding to the received command is executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. In addition, in the symbol display device 51, the same effect as the effect for the game times in the first embodiment is executed as the effect for the continuous display times.

In the first normal figure fluctuation start process, after the above command is transmitted, the change display of the pattern on the first normal figure display unit 131 is started. A variable display table for normal drawings is stored in advance in the main ROM 73 as a table referred to by the main MPU 72 when the first normal drawing display unit 131 causes the variable display of the pattern to be displayed. When the variable display of the pattern is executed in the first general drawing display unit 131, the same variable display table is used regardless of the result of the first general electric opening lottery process. When the first normal drawing display unit 131 performs the variable display of the pattern, the variable display of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern is repeated, but the variable display table for the normal drawing shows the variation of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern. The control data for one lap in the display is set. Therefore, when the variable display of the pattern is performed on the first normal map display unit 131, the variable display table for the normal map is repeatedly used until immediately before the final display is performed. The same variable display table for normal figures is also used when the variable display of the pattern is performed on the second normal figure display unit 132, the third normal figure display unit 133, and the fourth normal figure display unit 134.

After starting the variable display of the pattern on the first normal figure display unit 131, the value of the first normal figure normal electric counter is added by one. Since the value of the 1st normal power counter is "0" when the 1st normal power fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the 1st normal power counter becomes the 1st normal power by adding 1. It becomes "1" corresponding to the processing during fluctuation (step S1112).

In the first processing during the fluctuation of the normal diagram in step S1112, it is determined whether or not the timing is during the display continuation rotation and before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the first timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.4 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. Before the final display, the process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern on the first normal figure display unit 131 is executed. This regular change continues until it is time to start the final display. In addition, this regular change is made in a certain manner regardless of whether or not the first public train is won. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the first normal figure display unit 131 is set to the display mode corresponding to the result of the first normal electric opening lottery process this time. In addition, a confirmation display command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. When the sound / light side MPU 92 receives the confirmation display command, the sound / light side MPU 92 displays the final stop display of the combination of the symbols to be stopped and displayed this time on the symbol display device 51. After that, by adding 1 to the value of the 1st normal figure normal electric counter, the value of the counter corresponds to the process corresponding to the process during the 1st normal figure change to the process corresponding to the process during the determination of the 1st normal figure (step S1113). Update to.

In the first process during the determination of the normal figure in step S1113, it is determined whether or not the confirmation display period (specifically, 0.4 seconds) of the current display continuation times has elapsed. When the fixed display period has passed, it is determined whether or not the result of the first public power opening lottery process in the current display continuation time is the first public power opening winning. If the first normal train is not won, the process of confirming the first normal train is terminated after the value of the first normal train counter is cleared to "0". When the first general electric power opening is won, "3" is set as the information of the number of times of opening and closing of the first general electric power device 121 in the first general electric power opening counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set in the first general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as information on the maximum number of winnings to the first general electric device 121 in the open execution state this time. In addition, information corresponding to 3 seconds is set in the first timer counter as information on the open duration of the first general electric device 121. Further, the first general electric device 121 is opened by starting the output of the drive signal to the first general electric drive unit 121b. After that, the 1st Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1. In this case, since the value of the first normal power counter is "2" when the first normal power determination processing is executed, it corresponds to the first normal power open processing (step S1114) after 1 addition. It becomes "3" to do.

In the process of opening the first normal power in step S1114, when a prize is generated in the first general power device 121, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the first general power winning counter of the main RAM 74. To do. Then, when the value of the first normal power winning counter is "0", the value of the first normal power release counter is cleared to "0", the value of the first timer counter is cleared to "0", and further, the first. 1 By stopping the output of the drive signal to the general electric drive unit 121b, the first general electric accessory 121a is closed and the value of the first general electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the first normal figure normal power control process becomes the first normal figure fluctuation start process (step S1111). Further, even if the value of the first normal power winning counter is not "0", if the value of the first timer counter is "0", the drive signal is output to the first normal power drive unit 121b. By stopping the above, the first general electric accessory 121a is closed and the value of the first general electric release counter of the main RAM 74 is subtracted by 1. Then, when the value of the first normal electric opening counter is not "0", after setting the numerical information of the closing duration (specifically, 1 second) of the first general electric accessory 121a in the first timer counter. 1st Fuzu The value of the Fuden counter is updated from "3" to "4". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the first normal power control process becomes the first normal power closed process (step S1115). When the value of the first normal power release counter is "0", the value of the first normal power counter is cleared to "0" without setting the value in the first timer counter. As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the first normal figure normal power control process becomes the first normal figure fluctuation start process (step S1111).

In the process of closing the first normal power in step S1115, the output of the drive signal to the first normal power drive unit 121b is started on condition that the value of the first timer counter is "0". 1 Set the numerical information of the opening duration (specifically, 3 seconds) when the universal accessory 121a is in the open state and the first utility accessory 121a is in the open state once in the first timer counter. .. Then, the value of the first normal figure normal electric counter is updated from "4" to "3". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the first normal power control process becomes the first normal power open processing (step S1114).

As a result of the execution of the first normal drawing control process as described above, the pattern changes in the first normal drawing display unit 131 triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the first operating unit 32 or the special winning device 35. The display continuation times including the display are performed, and the symbol display device 51 performs a variable display of the symbol. Then, when the first normal power opening is won in the first normal power opening lottery process, the first normal power device 121 is set after the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 and the symbol display device 51 are completed. It will be in the open execution state. In the open execution state, the first general electric device 121 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning game balls to the first general electric device 121 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated. Further, when the game ball wins in the first general electric device 121, the second general drawing side holding information is stored in the second general drawing holding area 142 up to a maximum of four pieces.

In the first normal power control process, when the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state or the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, a positive determination is made in step S1104 to make a positive determination in step S1116. Executes the fluctuation stop processing at. In the fluctuation stop processing, if the current state is that the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 and the symbol display device 51 are being executed, the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 are set to the current first normal figure display unit. In the state of the display mode of 131, the update of the first timer counter is temporarily stopped, and the stopped command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92. By receiving the stopped command, the sound / light side MPU 92 continues the effect of the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64 as it is, while receiving the stopped command and then the stop release command described later. The period for displaying the final stop display of the symbol combination will be extended by the period until this is displayed. Further, in the variable stop processing, "1" is set in the first stop flag provided in the main RAM 74.

In the first normal diagram normal power control process, when a negative determination is made in step S1104 and "1" is set in the first stop flag of the main RAM 74 (step S1105: YES), the first 1 Clear the stopped flag to "0" (step S1106). As a result, when the first normal figure display unit 131 is temporarily stopped in the middle of the display continuation times, the display continuation times are restarted and the update of the first timer counter is restarted. After that, a stop release command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S1107). As a result, the period for extending the final stop display of the symbol combination in the current display continuation time is grasped by the sound light side MPU 92.

As described above, in the first normal drawing control process, when the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state, or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the display continuation times of the first normal figure display unit 131 are performed. Executes the process for temporarily stopping. As a result, when the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the display continuation times of the first general drawing display unit 131 are prevented from proceeding. Is possible. Therefore, when the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the first general electric device 121 is not in the open execution state. It becomes possible to.

<No. 2 Fuden control processing>
Next, the second normal power control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the second normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the second normal drawing display unit 132 and the execution control of the open execution state of the second normal drawing device 122 are performed. FIG. 25 is a slow chart showing the second normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated in the first normal electric device 121 (step S1201: YES), the second normal drawing side hold stored in the first area 142a to the fourth area 142d of the second normal drawing holding area 142. On condition that the number of pieces of information is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S1202: NO), the storage process in the second general drawing holding area 142 is executed (step S1203). In the storage process, the numerical information of the normal number counter C11 is stored as the second normal figure side hold information, and the second normal figure side hold information in the first area 142a to the fourth area 142d of the second normal figure hold area 142 is stored. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order among the areas that have not been processed. When the second normal figure side hold information is acquired, the display contents of the second normal figure hold display unit 136 are updated in accordance with the increase in the number of the second normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

When a negative determination is made in step S1201, an affirmative determination is made in step S1202, or the process of step S1203 is executed, whether or not the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, or a special winning device It is determined whether or not 35 is in the acceptance execution state (step S1204). If a negative determination is made in step S1204, the processes of step S1205 and step S1206 are executed. These processes will be described later. After that, the second general-purpose electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S1207). In the second Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the second Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The second Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the second Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The second normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "4", and each value of "0" to "4" is the start address NA20 to NA24 of each process (step S120-10, S1214). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the second normal figure counter is "0", the second normal figure fluctuation start process (2nd normal figure fluctuation start process), which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 ( Step S1210) is the execution target, and when the value of the second normal figure counter is "1", the second normal figure change, which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132. When the middle process (step S1211) is the execution target and the value of the second normal figure counter is "2", the second process is for ending the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132. The process during determination of the normal figure (step S1212) is the execution target, and when the value of the second normal figure counter is "3", it is a process for controlling the open state of the second normal electric device 122. 2 The process during opening of the normal power (step S1213) is the execution target, and when the value of the normal power counter in the second normal figure is "4", it is a process for reopening the second normal power device 122. The second normal electric closed processing (step S1214) is the execution target.

In the second Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the second Fuzu Fuden address table (step S1207), the start address corresponding to the information of the second Fuzu Fuden counter is set to the second Fuzu Fuden address. It is acquired from the table (step S1208) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S1209). Hereinafter, each process of steps S121-10 to S1214 will be described individually.

In the second normal figure fluctuation start process of step S1210, the second normal figure holding area 142 is held and stored on condition that the second normal figure side holding information is held and stored in the second normal figure holding area 142. Executes the process of shifting the pending information on the second normal map side. Specifically, the second normal map side hold information stored in the first area 142a of the second normal figure hold area 142 is shifted to the second normal figure execution area 142e, and then the second area 142b → second. The second normal drawing side hold information is shifted so that the first area 142a, the third area 142c → the second area 142b, and the fourth area 142d → the third area 142c. When the second normal figure side hold information is shifted, the display contents of the second normal figure hold display unit 136 are updated in accordance with the decrease in the number of the second normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

In the second normal map fluctuation start process, after the above shift process is executed, the second normal map side hold information newly shifted to the second normal map execution area 142e is used as the lottery value for the second normal figure open lottery process. To execute. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the second public power opening in the second public power opening lottery process is constant regardless of the gaming state, and specifically, the probability of winning the second public power is 99/100. It will be an open win. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability of winning the second public train opening may be higher or lower than this. Further, if the second general-purpose drawing side hold information is acquired without executing the second general-purpose electric power opening lottery process, the opening execution state of the second general-purpose electric power device 122 may be surely generated.

In the second normal figure fluctuation start process, when the second normal electric open lottery process is executed, a process for specifying the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is executed. In the specific processing, a fixed display duration of 0.2 seconds is given to the second timer counter provided in the main RAM 74 regardless of the result of the second normal power opening lottery processing and the number of the second normal drawing side reserved information. set. When the display continuous times are executed by the second normal figure display unit 132, the corresponding effects are not executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. After the first normal electric device 121 is in the open execution state, all of the second normal drawing side hold information acquired by the open execution state is digested, and the second normal drawing side hold information is used as an opportunity. Until all the open execution states of the second general electric device 122 are completed, it corresponds to the jackpot state of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment, and in the jackpot state, the effect corresponding to the jackpot state is the symbol display device 51. , Is executed by the display light emitting unit 63 and the speaker unit 64.

In the second normal figure fluctuation start process, after executing a process for specifying the display continuation period, the change display of the pattern on the second normal figure display unit 132 is started. When the second normal figure display unit 132 causes the variable display of the pattern to be performed, the variable display table for the normal figure already described is referred to. After starting the variable display of the pattern on the second normal figure display unit 132, the value of the second normal figure counter is added by one. Since the value of the 2nd normal power counter is "0" when the 2nd normal power fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the 2nd normal power counter becomes the 2nd normal power by adding 1. It becomes "1" corresponding to the processing during fluctuation (step S1211).

In the second processing during the fluctuation of the normal figure in step S1211, it is determined whether or not the timing is during the continuous display rotation and before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the second timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.1 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. Before the final display, a process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern on the second normal figure display unit 132 is executed. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the second normal figure display unit 132 is set to the display mode corresponding to the result of the second normal electric opening lottery process. After that, by adding 1 to the value of the second normal figure normal electric counter, the value of the counter corresponds to the process corresponding to the process during the change of the second normal figure to the process corresponding to the process during the determination of the second normal figure (step S1212). Update to.

In the second normal drawing finalizing process of step S1212, it is determined whether or not the finalized display period (specifically, 0.1 seconds) of the current display continuation times has elapsed. When the fixed display period has passed, it is determined whether or not the result of the second public power opening lottery process in the current display continuation time is the second public power opening winning. If the second normal train is not won, the process of confirming the second normal train is terminated after the value of the second normal train counter is cleared to "0". When the second normal power opening is won, "3" is set as information on the number of times of opening and closing of the second normal power device 122 in the second normal power opening counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set in the second general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as information on the maximum number of winnings in the second general electric device 122 in the open execution state this time. In addition, information corresponding to 3 seconds is set in the second timer counter as information on the open duration of the second general electric device 122. Further, the second general electric device 122 is opened by starting the output of the drive signal to the second general electric drive unit 122b. After that, the second normal figure normal electric counter is added by one. Since the value of the second normal-figure counter is "2" when the second normal-figure finalization process is executed, "3" corresponding to the second normal-figure open process (step S1213) after 1 addition. ".

In the process of opening the second normal power in step S1213, when a prize is generated in the second general power device 122, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the second general power winning counter of the main RAM 74. To do. Then, when the value of the second normal power winning counter is "0", the value of the second normal power release counter is cleared to "0", the value of the second timer counter is cleared to "0", and the second is further. 2 By stopping the output of the drive signal to the normal electric drive unit 122b, the second general electric accessory 122a is closed and the value of the second general electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the second normal figure normal power control process becomes the second normal figure fluctuation start process (step S1210). Further, even if the value of the second normal power winning counter is not "0", if the value of the second timer counter is "0", the drive signal is output to the second normal power drive unit 122b. By stopping, the second general electric accessory 122a is closed and the value of the second general electric release counter of the main RAM 74 is subtracted by 1. Then, when the value of the second normal electric opening counter is not "0", after setting the numerical information of the closing duration (specifically, 1 second) of the second general electric accessory 122a in the second timer counter. 2nd Fuzu The value of the Fuden counter is updated from "3" to "4". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the second normal power control process becomes the second normal power closing process (step S1214). When the value of the second normal power release counter is "0", the value of the second normal power counter is cleared to "0" without setting the value in the second timer counter. As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the second normal figure normal power control process becomes the second normal figure fluctuation start process (step S1210).

In the second normal power closing process in step S1214, the output of the drive signal to the second normal power drive unit 122b is started on condition that the value of the second timer counter is "0". 2 Set the numerical information of the opening duration (specifically, 3 seconds) when the general electric accessory 122a is in the open state and the second general electric accessory 122a is in the open state once in the second timer counter. .. Then, the value of the second normal figure normal electric counter is updated from "4" to "3". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the second normal power control process becomes the second normal power open processing (step S1213).

By executing the second normal drawing control process as described above, the second normal drawing display unit 132 performs variable display of the pattern when a prize is generated in the first normal drawing device 121. .. Then, when the second normal power opening is won in the second normal power opening lottery process, the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state after the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 are completed. .. In the open execution state, the second general electric device 122 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning game balls to the second electric device 122 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated.

In the second normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121 is in the open execution state or the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, a positive determination is made in step S1204, thereby step S1215. Executes the fluctuation stop processing at. In the fluctuation stop processing, if the current display continuation time in the second normal figure display unit 132 is being executed, the display continuation time in the second normal figure display unit 132 is set to the display mode of the current display mode of the second normal figure display unit 132. In the state, it is temporarily stopped and the update of the second timer counter is temporarily stopped. Further, in the variable stop processing, "1" is set in the second stop flag provided in the main RAM 74.

In the second normal diagram normal power control process, when a negative determination is made in step S1204 and "1" is set in the second stop flag of the main RAM 74 (step S1205: YES), the second 2 Clear the stopped flag to "0" (step S1206). As a result, when the second normal figure display unit 132 is temporarily stopped in the middle of the display continuation times, the display continuation times are restarted and the update of the second timer counter is restarted.

As described above, in the second normal drawing control process, when the first normal power device 121 is in the open execution state, or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the display continuation times of the second normal figure display unit 132 Executes the process for temporarily stopping. As a result, when the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the display continuation times of the second general drawing display unit 132 are prevented from proceeding. Is possible. Therefore, when the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, or when the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the second general electric device 122 is not in the open execution state. It becomes possible to.

<Third General Figure General Electric Control Processing>
Next, the third general-purpose electric control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the third normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the third normal drawing display unit 133 and the execution control of the open execution state of the third normal drawing device 123 are performed. FIG. 26 is a slow chart showing the third normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated for the specific operating unit 124 (step S1301: YES), the third normal figure side hold information stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure hold area 143. On condition that the number is less than 4, which is the upper limit number (step S1302: NO), the storage process in the third normal figure holding area 143 is executed (step S1303). In the storage process, the numerical information of the normal electric random number counter C11 is stored as the third normal figure side hold information, and the third normal figure side hold information in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure hold area 143 is stored. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order among the areas that have not been processed. When the third normal figure side hold information is acquired, the display contents of the third normal figure hold display unit 137 are updated in accordance with the increase in the number of the third normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

When a negative determination is made in step S1301, an affirmative determination is made in step S1302, or the process of step S1303 is executed, the third general telephone address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read (step). S1304). In the third Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the third Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The third Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the third Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The third normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "3", and each value of "0" to "3" is the start address NA30 to NA33 of each process (step S1307 to step S1310). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the third normal figure counter is "0", the third normal figure fluctuation start process (3rd normal figure fluctuation start process), which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 ( Step S1307) is the execution target, and when the value of the third normal figure counter is "1", the third normal figure change, which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133. When the middle process (step S1308) is the execution target and the value of the third normal figure counter is "2", the third process for ending the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133. The process during determination of the normal figure (step S1309) is the execution target, and when the value of the third normal figure counter is "3", it is a process for controlling the open state of the third normal electric device 123. 3 The processing during opening of the normal power (step S1310) is the execution target.

In the third Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the third Fuzu Fuden address table (step S1304), the start address corresponding to the information of the third Fuzu Fuden counter is set to the third Fuzu Fuden address. It is acquired from the table (step S1305) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S1306). Hereinafter, each process of steps S1307 to S1310 will be described individually.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process of step S1307, the third normal figure holding area 143 is held and stored in the third normal figure holding area 143 on condition that the third normal figure side holding information is held and stored in the third normal figure holding area 143. Executes the process of shifting the held information on the third normal map side. Specifically, the third normal map side hold information stored in the first area 143a of the third normal figure hold area 143 is shifted to the third normal figure execution area 143e, and then the second area 143b → the second. The third area reserved information is shifted so as to be 1 area 143a, 3rd area 143c → 2nd area 143b, and 4th area 143d → 3rd area 143c. When the third normal figure side hold information is shifted, the display contents of the third normal figure hold display unit 137 are updated in accordance with the decrease in the number of the third normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process, after the above shift process is executed, the third normal figure side reserved information newly shifted to the third normal figure execution area 143e is used as the lottery value for the third normal figure open lottery process. To execute. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the 3rd public power opening in the 3rd public power opening lottery process is constant regardless of the gaming state, and specifically, the probability of winning the 3rd public power is 1/100. It will be an open win. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability of winning the third public train opening may be higher or lower than this.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process, when the third normal electric open lottery process is executed, a process for specifying the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is executed. In the specific process, a fixed display duration of 300 seconds is set in the third timer counter provided in the main RAM 74 regardless of the result of the third normal electric opening lottery process and the number of reserved information on the third normal figure side. .. When the display continuation times are executed by the third normal figure display unit 133, the corresponding effects are not executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process, after executing the process for specifying the display continuation period, the change display of the pattern on the third normal figure display unit 133 is started. When the third normal figure display unit 133 causes the variable display of the pattern to be performed, the variable display table for the normal figure already described is referred to. After starting the variable display of the pattern on the third normal figure display unit 133, the value of the third normal figure normal electric counter is added by one. Since the value of the 3rd normal power counter is "0" when the 3rd normal power fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the 3rd normal power counter becomes the 3rd normal power by adding 1. It becomes "1" corresponding to the processing during fluctuation (step S1308).

In the process of changing the normal figure in step S1308, it is determined whether or not the timing is during the display continuation rotation and before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the third timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.4 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. If it is before the final display, the process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern in the third general drawing display unit 133 is executed. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the third normal figure display unit 133 is set to the display mode corresponding to the result of the third normal electric opening lottery process this time. After that, by adding 1 to the value of the 3rd normal figure normal electric counter, the value of the counter corresponds to the process corresponding to the process during the change of the 3rd normal figure to the process corresponding to the process during the determination of the 3rd normal figure (step S1309). Update to.

In the process during the determination of the third normal figure in step S1309, it is determined whether or not the confirmation display period (specifically, 0.4 seconds) of the current display continuation times has elapsed. When the fixed display period has passed, it is determined whether or not the result of the third public power opening lottery process in the current display continuation time is the third public power opening winning. If the third normal train is not won, the process of confirming the third normal train is terminated after the value of the third normal train counter is cleared to "0". When the third general electric power opening is won, "1" is set as the information of the number of times of opening and closing of the third general electric power device 123 in the third general electric power opening counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set in the third general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as information on the maximum number of winnings in the third general electric device 123 in the open execution state this time. Further, the information corresponding to 1 second is set in the 3rd timer counter as the information of the open continuation period of the 3rd electric power device 123. Further, the third normal electric device 123 is opened by starting the output of the drive signal to the third general electric drive unit 123b. After that, the third normal figure normal electric counter is added by one. Since the value of the 3rd normal power counter is "2" when the 3rd normal power determination processing is executed, "3" corresponding to the 3rd normal power open processing (step S1310) after 1 addition. ".

In the process of opening the third normal power in step S1310, when a prize is generated in the third general power device 123, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the third general power winning counter of the main RAM 74. To do. Then, when the value of the third normal power winning counter is "0", the value of the third normal power release counter is cleared to "0", the value of the third timer counter is cleared to "0", and the third is further. By stopping the output of the drive signal to the 3 normal electric drive unit 123b, the 3rd general electric accessory 123a is closed and the value of the 3rd general electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the third normal figure normal power control process becomes the third normal figure change start process (step S1307). Further, even if the value of the third general-purpose winning counter is not "0", if the value of the third timer counter is "0", the third general-purpose winning counter and the third general-purpose winning counter of the main RAM 74 are used. The value of the normal power release counter is cleared to "0", and the output of the drive signal to the third normal power drive unit 123b is stopped to close the third normal power supply 123a. Then, the value of the third normal figure normal electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the third normal figure normal power control process becomes the third normal figure change start process (step S1307).

By executing the third normal drawing control process as described above, the pattern variation display is performed on the third normal drawing display unit 133, triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the specific operating unit 124. Then, in the case where the third normal power opening is won in the third normal power opening lottery process, the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state after the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 are completed. .. In the open execution state, the open state for 1 second is performed once by the third electric power device 123. Since the firing cycle of the game balls is 0.6 seconds, the maximum number of game balls will not win the third electric device 123 in the open state of 1 second.

Here, in the third normal power control process, the first normal power device 121 is in the open execution state, the second general power device 122 is in the open execution state, and the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state. In any case, the process for temporarily stopping the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 is not executed. As a result, even if the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, or the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, that is Regardless of this, it is possible to advance the display continuation times of the third general drawing display unit 133, and it is possible to advance the open execution state in the third general electric device 123. Further, in the first normal-figure control process, even when the third general-purpose device 123 is in the open execution state, the process for temporarily stopping the display continuation times of the first normal-figure display unit 131 is not executed. In the second normal power control process, even when the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state, the process for temporarily stopping the display continuation times of the second normal power display unit 132 is not executed. In the fourth normal power control process described later, even when the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state, the process for temporarily stopping the display continuation times of the fourth normal power display unit 134 is not executed. As a result, even when the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, it is possible to proceed the display continuation times of the first general drawing display unit 131 regardless of the open execution state, and the first general electric device It is possible to advance the open execution state in 121, and it is possible to advance the display continuation times of the second general drawing display unit 132 regardless of this, and to advance the open execution state in the second general electric device 122. Regardless of this, it is possible to advance the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 and to advance the acceptance execution state in the special winning device 35.

It is determined whether or not the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, or whether or not the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state (step S1401). If a negative determination is made in step S1401, the processes of steps S1402 and S1403 are executed. These processes will be described later. After that, the fourth general-purpose electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S1404). In the 4th Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the 4th Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The fourth normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "3", and each value of "0" to "3" is the start address NA40 to NA43 of each process (step S1407 to step S1410). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the 4th normal figure counter is "0", the 4th normal figure fluctuation start process (4th normal figure fluctuation start process) which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the 4th normal figure display unit 134 ( Step S1407) is the execution target, and when the value of the fourth normal-figure counter is "1", the fourth normal-figure variation, which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the fourth normal-figure display unit 134.

It is acquired from the table (step S1405) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S1406). Hereinafter, each process of steps S1407 to S1410 will be described individually.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the fourth normal diagram variation start process in step S1407. When a prize has been generated in the through winning unit 34 (step S1501: YES), the acceptance determination process is executed (step S1502). In the acceptance determination process, the numerical information of the current normal electric random number counter C11 is stored in the execution area 144 for the 4th normal drawing as the holding information on the 4th normal drawing side. Then, the acceptance determination table is read from the main ROM 73, and the read acceptance determination table is collated with the fourth ordinary drawing side hold information stored in the execution area 144 for the fourth ordinary drawing. In this case, there is a 98% chance that the winning result will be accepted.

When the result of the acceptance determination process is the acceptance winning result (step S1503: YES), the stop result setting process for the acceptance winning result is executed (step S1504). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the acceptance winning result to be finally stopped and displayed in the current display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. .. It should be noted that one type of pattern stop mode may be set for the acceptance winning result, or a plurality of types of pattern stop modes may be set for the acceptance winning result.

When the result of the acceptance determination process is not the acceptance winning result (step S1503: NO), the stop result setting process for the loss result is executed (step S1505). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the disengagement result to be finally stopped and displayed on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 at the current display continuation time is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. The information on the mode of the pattern selected in this case is different from the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the acceptance winning result.

After executing any of the stop result setting processes, the specific process of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period is executed (step S1506). After that, the variable display of the pattern on the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 is started (step S1507). When the fourth normal figure display unit 134 causes the variable display of the pattern to be performed, the variable display table for the normal figure already described is referred to.

After that, the value of the 4th normal drawing counter is added by 1 (step S1508). Since the value of the 4th normal-figure counter is "0" when the 4th normal-figure fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the 4th normal-figure counter is the 4th normal-figure counter by adding 1. It becomes "1" corresponding to the processing during fluctuation (step S1408).

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a process for specifying the fourth normal figure fluctuation period in step S1506. First, it is determined whether or not one or more third normal drawing side holding information is stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal drawing holding area 143 (step S1601).

If a negative determination is made in step S1601, a lottery process for selecting a period is executed (step S1602). In the lottery process, numerical information is acquired from a random number counter that is periodically (for example, 4 milliseconds cycle) updated in the main RAM 74, and the acquired numerical information is stored in a period selection table stored in advance in the main ROM 73. Match against. The period selection table is set so that the selection winning result is obtained with a probability of 1/500. In addition, it is not limited to this, and the probability that the selection winning result will be 1/50 in the lottery process for period selection is 1/50. The configuration may be higher than that, and the probability of winning the selection in the lottery process for period selection is 1/100, which is the same as the probability of winning the first open lottery in the first open lottery process. It may be a certain configuration, or it may be a configuration that is substantially the same.

When the result of the lottery process for period selection is not the selection winning result but the result of deviation (step S1603: NO), the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S1604). Similar to the first embodiment, the first display duration is 0.45 seconds. In the situation where the first display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, even if the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the special winning device 35 is basically not awarded.

On the other hand, when one or more of the third general drawing side hold information is stored and an affirmative judgment is made in step S1601, or the result of the lottery process for period selection is the selection winning result and the affirmative judgment is made in step S1603. In this case, the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S1605). Similar to the first embodiment, the third display duration is 1 second. In the situation where the third display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, the special winning device 35 is one of the 11 game balls that reach the position where the special winning device 35 can be won. Can be expected to win a prize.

When any of the processes of step S1604 and step S1605 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in either step S1604 or step S1605 is set in the fourth timer counter of the main RAM 74 (step S1606). The update of the numerical information set in the fourth timer counter is executed in the timer update process of step S210 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11).

With the above configuration, the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 in the situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored. A prize may occur in the special prize device 35. As a result, the player who expects the special winning device 35 to win a prize pays attention to whether or not the game ball wins the specific operating unit 124, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The third display continuation time is not selected in the display continuation time in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 just by executing the display continuation time in the third normal figure display unit 133, and the display continuation time in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is not selected. In order to select the third display continuation time in the time, it is necessary to further hold and store the third display side hold information. As a result, it is possible to increase the difficulty level for selecting the third display continuation time in the display continuation time in the fourth normal figure display unit 134, and from this point as well, the game ball is placed in the specific operation unit 124. Attention to whether or not to win a prize will be increased, and as a result, it will be possible to improve the interest of the game.

Even in a situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is not stored on hold, the selection winning result is obtained in the lottery process for selecting the period, so that the third display continuation period is displayed in the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134. Is selected. As a result, it is possible to increase the frequency with which the third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134.

In the process of changing the fourth normal figure in step S1408, it is determined whether or not the timing is during the continuous display rotation and before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the fourth timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.4 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. Before the final display, a process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is executed. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is set to the display mode corresponding to the result of the acceptance determination process this time. After that, by adding 1 to the value of the 4th normal drawing counter, the value of the counter is changed from the one corresponding to the 4th normal figure changing process to the 4th normal figure finalizing process (step S1409). Update to.

In the process during the finalization of the fourth normal figure in step S1409, it is determined whether or not the finalized display period (specifically, 0.4 seconds) of the current display continuation times has elapsed. When the confirmed display period has passed, it is determined whether or not the result of the acceptance determination process in the current display continuation time is the acceptance winning result. If it is not the result of winning the acceptance, after clearing the value of the 4th normal drawing counter to "0", the processing during the finalization of the 4th normal figure is terminated. In the case of the acceptance winning result, "1" is set as the information of the number of times of opening and closing of the special winning device 35 in the fourth general electric opening counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set as information on the maximum number of winnings to the special winning device 35 in the current acceptance execution state in the fourth general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74. In addition, information corresponding to 0.1 seconds is set in the fourth timer counter as information on the open duration of the special winning device 35. Further, by starting the output of the drive signal to the open / close drive unit 47, the special winning device 35 is put into the receiving state. After that, the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1. Since the value of the 4th normal power counter is "2" when the 4th normal power determination processing is executed, "3" corresponding to the 4th normal power open processing (step S1410) after 1 addition. ".

In the process during the opening of the fourth normal power in step S1410, when a prize is generated in the special winning device 35, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the fourth general power winning counter of the main RAM 74. Then, when the value of the 4th normal power winning counter is "0", the value of the 4th normal power release counter of the main RAM 74 is cleared to "0", and the output of the drive signal to the open / close drive unit 47 is further output. By stopping, the special winning device 35 is put into a non-accepting state. Then, the value of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal figure normal power control process becomes the fourth normal figure fluctuation start process (step S1407). Further, even if the value of the 4th general-purpose winning counter is not "0", if the value of the 4th timer counter of the main RAM 74 is "0", the 4th general-purpose winning of the main RAM 74 By clearing the values of the counter and the fourth normal power opening counter to "0" and further stopping the output of the drive signal to the open / close drive unit 47, the special winning device 35 is put into the non-accepting state. Then, the value of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal figure normal power control process becomes the fourth normal figure fluctuation start process (step S1407).

As described above, when the fourth normal drawing control process is executed, the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 performs variable display of the pattern, triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the through winning unit 34. Then, when the acceptance winning result is obtained in the acceptance determination process, the special winning device 35 is put into the acceptance execution state after the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are completed. In the acceptance execution state, the special winning device 35 performs the acceptance state for 0.1 seconds once.

In the fourth normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121 is in the open execution state or the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state, an affirmative determination is made in step S1401. The fluctuation stop process is executed in step S1411. In the fluctuation stop processing, if the current display continuation time on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is being executed, the display continuation time on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is set to the display mode of the current display mode of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. The update of the fourth timer counter is temporarily stopped while being temporarily stopped in the state. Further, in the variable stop processing, "1" is set in the fourth stop flag provided in the main RAM 74.

In the fourth normal diagram normal electric control process, when a negative determination is made in step S1401 and "1" is set in the fourth stopped flag of the main RAM 74 (step S1402: YES), the first 4 Clear the stopped flag to "0" (step S1403). As a result, when the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is temporarily stopped in the middle of the display continuation times, the display continuation times are restarted and the update of the fourth timer counter is restarted.

As described above, in the fourth normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121 is in the open execution state, or when the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state, the display of the fourth normal power display unit 134 is displayed. Execute the process to temporarily stop the continuous times. As a result, when the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the fourth general drawing display unit 134 are prevented from proceeding. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, when the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, or when the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, the special winning device 35 is not in the acceptance execution state. It becomes possible to.

<Relationship between the display duration of the 4th general drawing display unit 134 and the acceptance status of the special winning device 35>
Next, the relationship between the display duration of the fourth general drawing display unit 134 and the acceptance state of the special winning device 35 will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. FIG. 30 (a) shows the period during which the game ball is detected by the specific detection sensor 124a of the specific operating unit 124, and FIG. 30 (b) shows the period during which the display continuation times are executed on the third normal figure display unit 133. 30 (c) shows the period during which the game ball is passing through the through winning unit 34, and FIG. 30 (d) shows the game ball at a position where the special winning device 35 can be won. FIG. 30 (e) shows the period during which the display continuation times are executed on the fourth normal figure display unit 134, and FIG. 30 (f) shows the period during which the special winning device 35 is in the accepting state. Shown.

As described above, the game ball that has reached the right side of the left end of the variable display unit 37 in the upper region PA1 can enter the introduction port 126 that allows the game ball to flow in toward the specific operating unit 124, and is introduced. If the ball does not enter the mouth 126, it flows into the left region PA2. Then, all the game balls flowing into the left side region PA2 will win the through winning section 34. Further, the game ball flowing into the left side region PA2 can win a prize in the first operating unit 32. Therefore, in a situation where either the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is not in the open state, basically, in the upper region PA1, the variable display unit 37 is directed from the right side toward the left end region PA2. The launch operation is performed so that the game ball flows down. Then, in the situation where the firing operation is performed in this way, in FIG. 30 (c), the timing of t1, the timing of t6, the timing of t12, the timing of t16, the timing of t19, the timing of t23, the timing of t28, and so on. As shown at the timing of t32, a prize is basically generated in the through winning unit 34, and as shown in the timing of t7 and the timing of t13 in FIG. 30 (a), a prize is generated in the specific operating unit 124 with a low probability. To do.

Based on the occurrence of a prize in the through winning section 34, the timing of t1 to the timing of t2, the timing of t6 to the timing of t8, the timing of t12 to the timing of t14, the timing of t16 to the timing of t20, the timing of t23 to t29. In each period from the timing of t32 and the timing of t32 to t35, the display continuation times in the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 are performed as shown in FIG. 30 (e). Then, following the display continuation times, the timing of t2 to the timing of t3, the timing of t8 to the timing of t9, the timing of t14 to the timing of t15, the timing of t20 to the timing of t22, the timing of t29 to the timing of t31. And, in each period from the timing of t35 to the timing of t36, the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state as shown in FIG. 30 (f).

In this case, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), a prize is generated in the specific operating unit 124 at the timing of t7, and as shown in FIG. 30 (b), the third normal drawing display unit is generated at the timing of t7. The display continuation times in 133 are started. Then, as shown in FIG. 30A, the winning of the specific operating unit 124 is generated again at the timing of t13 in the situation where the display continuation time is executed. When a prize is generated in the specific operating unit 124, the hold information on the third normal drawing side is put on hold and stored. After that, as shown in FIG. 30B, at the timing of t25, the display continuation times in the third general drawing display unit 133 are completed, and although the illustration is omitted, the opening execution state of the third general electric device 123 is immediately performed. .. Then, as shown in FIG. 30B, a new display continuation time in the third normal drawing display unit 133 is started at the timing of t27, which is the timing after the open execution state is completed. In this case, the state in which the hold information on the third normal drawing side is held and stored is released.

When the game is played as described above, the third normal drawing side hold information is held and stored from the timing of t13 to the timing of t27. Therefore, the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 in each period of the timing of t1 to the timing of t2, the timing of t6 to the timing of t8, the timing of t12 to the timing of t14, and the timing of t32 to the timing of t35 are While the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period, the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 in each period from the timing of t16 to the timing of t20 and the timing of t23 to the timing of t29 are The third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period. Then, as shown in FIG. 30 (d), the timing of t4 to the timing of t5, the timing of t10 to the timing of t11, the timing of t17 to the timing of t18, the timing of t20 to the timing of t21, the timing of t24 to the timing of t26. , T29 timing to t30 timing and t33 timing to t34 timing, the game ball will reach the position where it is possible to win the special prize device 35. The timing of t20 to the timing of t21 and the timing of t29 to the timing of t30 included in the execution period of the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 immediately after the display continuation time, which is the third display continuation period, is executed in the figure display unit 134. A game ball that reaches a position where it is possible to win a prize in the special prize device 35 wins a prize in the special prize device 35, and other game balls do not win a prize in the special prize device 35.

According to the present embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained in addition to or in place of the effects described in the first embodiment.

When a prize is awarded to the through winning unit 34, the holding information on the fourth normal drawing side is acquired, and when the holding information on the fourth normal drawing side is acquired, the display continuation times of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 are performed. However, in a configuration in which the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 can be performed after the end of the display continuation times, the acquisition is based on the winning of the specific operating unit 124 that does not directly contribute to the occurrence of the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35. The third display continuation period is set when the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are executed in the situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored, and the hold information on the third normal figure side is set. The first display continuation period is set when the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are executed in the situation where is not stored on hold. Then, when the first display continuation period is set, it is basically impossible to win the special prize device 35, and when the third display continuation period is set, the special prize device 35 is frequently used. Will be awarded. As a result, the player who expects to win the special winning device 35 pays attention not only to the through winning section 34 and the special winning device 35 but also to the specific operating section 124, which makes it possible to improve the interest of the game. ..

In order for the specific operating unit 124 to win the game ball, it is necessary to perform a firing operation so that the game ball flows down the left side region PA2, whereas the first general electric device 121 and the first general electric device 121 which are in the open state in the jackpot state. The second electric device 122 is provided in the right region PA3. As a result, when a jackpot state occurs in a situation where the third display continuation period is repeatedly set in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134, the jackpot state occurs. In parallel with this, the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 are exhausted, and the firing operation is performed aiming at the special electric winning device 36 to win the prize, so that the specific operating unit 124 is not won. During the jackpot state, the third normal drawing side hold information may not be held and stored. Therefore, it is possible to end the situation in which the third display continuation period is repeatedly set when the jackpot state occurs, and prevent the situation in which the third display continuation period is repeatedly set to continue excessively. It becomes possible.

When the third normal power opening lottery process is executed based on the acquisition of the third normal power holding information and the third normal power opening is won, the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state. Then, when a prize is generated in the third general electric device 123, the game ball is paid out. On the other hand, when the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are executed in the situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored as described above, the third display continuation period is set and the third display continuation period is set. When the display continuation period is set, the special winning device 35 is awarded at a predetermined frequency. That is, by holding and storing the third general drawing side hold information, not only the benefit that the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state but also the benefit that the special winning device 35 is won at a predetermined frequency. Will also be granted. Therefore, the player pays attention to whether or not the third general drawing side hold information is acquired, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

When the first public drawing side hold information is acquired based on the occurrence of a prize in the special winning device 35, the first general public opening lottery process is executed, and when the first general public opening is won, the first 1 A jackpot state occurs in which the general electric device 121 and the second general electric device 122 are in the open execution state. As a result, it is expected that a prize will be generated in the special winning device 35, and as a result, the third display continuation period can be set in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not a prize is generated for the specific operating unit 124. In addition, even when a prize is generated in the special winning device 35 in a configuration in which the first normal drawing side holding information is acquired based on the winning of the first operating unit 32, the first normal drawing side holding information is also obtained. Is obtained. As a result, the player who expects the occurrence of a big hit state expects not only the prize to be generated in the first operating unit 32 but also the prize to be generated in the special prize device 35, which improves the interest of the game. It is possible to plan.

The first operating unit 32, the through winning unit 34, the special winning device 35, and the specific operating unit 124 are all provided at positions where the game ball can reach when the firing operation is performed so as to flow down the left side region PA2. ing. As a result, by performing a firing operation so that the game ball flows down the left side region PA2, it is aimed to generate a prize for all of the first operating unit 32, the through winning unit 34, the special winning device 35, and the specific operating unit 124. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the excellent effect as described above while suppressing the complicated firing operation.

If any of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs, the other state occurs among them. On the other hand, even if any of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 has occurred. An open execution state of the third general electric device 123 may occur. As a result, it is possible to diversify the mode in which prizes are generated, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state based on the occurrence of a prize in the special winning device 35, and the second general electric device 122 is opened based on the occurrence of a prize in the first general electric device 121. In the configuration of the execution state, if any of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 has occurred, they are generated. Other states do not occur. As a result, the player can gradually aim for winning the special winning device 35, the first general electric device 121, and the second general electric device 122. On the other hand, the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 occurs regardless of the winning of the special winning device 35, the first general electric device 121, and the second general electric device 122. In this case, even if any one of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs, the third An open execution state of the utility device 123 can occur. As a result, for example, it is possible to create a situation in which it is possible to aim for a prize in the special winning device 35 and a prize in the third general electric device 123 at the same time.

In a configuration in which the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 can occur at the same time, the third general electric device 123 is a game ball so as to flow down toward the special winning device 35. It is provided at a position where a prize can be won when the player is flowing down. As a result, it is possible to perform the firing operation aiming at both the winning of the special winning device 35 and the winning of the third general electric device 123.

When any of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs, it corresponds to the other device among them. The display continuation times in the normal map display units 131, 132, and 134 are prevented from progressing. As a result, any one of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 is generated only by adjusting the progress of the display continuation times. If so, it is possible to prevent other states from occurring.

The state in which the display continuation times are not advanced as described above is displayed among the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35. It is released after the state corresponding to the normal map display units 131, 132, 134, which is not the target of continuous display continuation, is completed, and if the display continuation time is temporarily stopped in the middle, the display continuation time is displayed. Progress is resumed. This makes it possible to prevent the display continuation times, which are the targets of suspension of progress, from being invalidated.

<Another form of the fourth embodiment>
(1) In the above configuration, when a jackpot state occurs in a situation where the upper limit number of 4 reserved information on the 3rd ordinary drawing side is stored, until the 3rd ordinary drawing side reserved information is not stored on hold. When the jackpot state occurs in the situation where the third general map side hold information is held and stored because the longest period required for is longer than the shortest period required from the start to the end of the jackpot state. The configuration is such that the hold information on the third normal figure side can be held and stored even after the jackpot state ends, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the hold information on the third normal figure side is the maximum number of 4 The longest period required from the start to the end of the jackpot state is the shortest period required for the third normal drawing side hold information to become a situation where the hold information is not held and stored when the jackpot state occurs in the situation where the pieces are held and stored. It may be configured to have a shorter period than that. For example, the display continuation period of the display continuation times on the third normal figure display unit 133 may be set to 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds to improve the digestion efficiency of the reserved information on the third normal figure side, and when a big hit state occurs. The display continuation period of the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 may be shortened as compared with the case where the jackpot state is not obtained, and when the big hit state is reached, the third normal figure side hold information is displayed. The third normal figure holding area 143 may be configured to delete the holding information on the third normal figure side so as to be in a situation where the holding is not stored. As a result, when a big hit state occurs, it is possible to surely end the situation in which the third display continuation period is repeatedly set.

(2) The display continuation times of the third general drawing display unit 133 are not temporarily stopped even if the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, and further, the special winning device 35 Is not temporarily stopped even if it is in the acceptance execution state, but it is not limited to this, and the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the special prize are given. When any of the acceptance execution states of the device 35 occurs, the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 are temporarily stopped, and when the event that triggered the temporary stop ends, the third normal figure display is displayed. The display continuation times of the unit 133 may be restarted. In this configuration, since the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 are temporarily stopped in the big hit state, the big hit state is started in the situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored. In such a case, even after the jackpot state ends, it becomes easy to maintain the state in which the hold information on the third normal drawing side is held and stored. Therefore, it is possible to make it possible to continue the situation in which the special winning device 35 is awarded at a predetermined frequency even after the end of the jackpot state.

(3) Even if the 4th ordinary drawing side holding information is acquired, the special winning device 35 is not in the acceptance execution state unless the acceptance winning result is obtained in the acceptance determination process, but the 4th ordinary drawing side holding information is The special winning device 35 may be configured to be in the acceptance execution state when it is acquired, and when the fourth general drawing side hold information is acquired, the special winning device 35 is accepted and executed with a probability of approximately 100%. It may be configured to be in a state.

(4) When any of the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35, the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, and the open execution state of the second general electric device 122 occurs, the third general drawing display unit 133 The display continuation times may be terminated in the middle and invalidated as it is.

(5) Predetermined devices 35, 121, 122 that do not correspond to the normal map display units 131, 132, 134 enter the acceptance execution state or the open execution state during the continuous display rotation of the normal map display units 131, 132, 134. In this case, the display continuation times during the execution are temporarily stopped, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the period during which the predetermined devices 35, 121, 122 are in the accept execution state or the open execution state. The display continuation period of the display continuation times may be extended by the amount. In this case, in the period when the predetermined devices 35, 121, 122 are in the acceptance execution state or the open execution state, the fluctuation display of the pattern is displayed on the general map display units 131, 132, 134 corresponding to the display continuation times during execution. It may be a continuous configuration.

(6) A ball-filling device may be separately provided so that a game ball can be won when a prize is won in the second general electric device 122. The ball-entry device may be configured so that the game ball can be won by putting the electric drive unit into the driving state based on the winning of the second general electric device 122. Further, in the ball-entry device, the game ball that has won the second general electric device 122 comes into contact with the mechanical operation mechanism to operate the operation mechanism, so that the game ball can be won. The game ball that has entered the device may come into contact with another mechanical operation mechanism to operate the operation mechanism, so that the game ball cannot be won. In this case, it is possible to increase the number of game balls given to the player in the jackpot state by executing the payout of the game balls based on the winning of the ball entry device.

(7) Although the configuration is such that the holding information on the 4th normal drawing side is not stored on hold, the holding information on the 4th normal drawing side may be held and stored.

(8) The execution mode of the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 is arbitrary. For example, when the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the maximum number of the third general electric device 123 to the third general electric device 123 is reached. The third general electric device 123 may be in an open state so that a prize for a game ball can be expected. As a result, it is possible to increase the advantage that the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state.

(9) Limited to a configuration in which the third display continuation period is surely set when the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are started in the situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored. It may be configured so that the third display duration can be easily set. Specifically, the display of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is continued regardless of whether the third normal figure side hold information is held and stored or the third normal figure side hold information is held and stored. Although the third display duration can be set in the times, the situation in which the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored is better than the situation in which the hold information on the third normal figure side is not held and stored. The third display continuation period may be easily set in the display continuation times of the display unit 134.

<Fifth Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the configuration of the specific operating unit 124 is different from that of the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the fourth embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the fourth embodiment will be basically omitted.

<Sixth Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the processing configuration of the specific processing of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period executed by the main MPU 72 is different from that of the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the fourth embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the fourth embodiment will be basically omitted.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing a process for specifying the fourth normal figure fluctuation period in the present embodiment. First, whether or not one or more third normal figure side hold information is stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure hold area 143, or the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 is executed. It is determined whether or not it is inside (step S1701).

If a negative determination is made in step S1701, a lottery process for selecting a period is executed (step S1702). In the lottery process, numerical information is acquired from a random number counter that is periodically (for example, 4 milliseconds cycle) updated in the main RAM 74, and the acquired numerical information is stored in a period selection table stored in advance in the main ROM 73. Match against. The period selection table is set so that the selection winning result is obtained with a probability of 1/500.

When the result of the lottery process for period selection is not the selection winning result but the wrong result (step S1703: NO), the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S1704). Similar to the first embodiment, the first display duration is 0.45 seconds. In the situation where the first display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, even if the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the special winning device 35 is basically not awarded.

On the other hand, when one or more of the reserved information on the third normal figure side is stored, or when the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 are being executed and an affirmative judgment is made in step S1701, or a lottery for period selection is made. When the result of the process is the selection winning result and an affirmative determination is made in step S1703, the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S1705). Similar to the first embodiment, the third display duration is 1 second. In the situation where the third display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, the special winning device 35 is one of the 11 game balls that reach the position where the special winning device 35 can be won. Can be expected to win a prize.

When any of the processes of step S1704 and step S1705 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in either step S1704 or step S1705 is set in the fourth timer counter of the main RAM 74 (step S1706).

According to the above configuration, not only when the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored, but also when the display continuation times are executed by the third normal figure display unit 133, the fourth normal figure display unit The third display continuation period is set at the display continuation times of 134. Then, when the third display continuation period is selected, a prize may be generated in the special prize device 35. This makes it possible to increase the frequency of winning a prize in the special winning device 35.

Further, when the display continuation time is executed on the third normal figure display unit 133, not only the third normal electric device 123 may be in the open execution state after that, but also the fourth normal figure display. By setting the third display continuation period in the display continuation times of the unit 134, the special winning device 35 can be won a prize at a predetermined frequency. As a result, it is possible to raise the degree of attention of the player to the execution of the continuous display times on the third normal figure display unit 133, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

In addition, when the display continuation time of the third normal figure display unit 133 is executed and the display continuation time of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is started, the third display continuation period is surely set. The configuration is not limited to, and the third display duration may be easily set. Specifically, regardless of whether the display continuation time of the third normal figure display unit 133 is not executed or the display continuation time of the third normal figure display unit 133 is executed, the fourth normal figure The third display continuation period can be set in the display continuation times of the display unit 134, but the situation in which the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133 is executed is the display continuation times of the third normal figure display unit 133. The third display continuation period may be set more easily in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 than in the situation where is not executed.

Further, the process of step S1702 and step S1703 may not be executed in the specific process of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period. In this case, the display of the 4th normal figure display unit 134 is limited to the case where one or more of the 3rd normal figure side hold information is stored or the display continuation times of the 3rd normal figure display unit 133 is being executed. The third display continuation period is set in the continuation times.

<7th Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the processing configuration of the third normal power control process executed by the main MPU 72 is different from that of the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the fourth embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the fourth embodiment will be basically omitted.

FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing the third normal power control process in the present embodiment. When a prize has been generated for the specific operating unit 124 (step S1801: YES), the third normal drawing side holding information stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal drawing holding area 143 On condition that the number is less than 4, which is the upper limit number (step S1802: NO), the storage process in the third normal figure holding area 143 is executed (step S1803). The processing content of the storage process is the same as that of step S1303 of the third general-purpose electric control process (FIG. 26) in the fourth embodiment.

When a negative determination is made in step S1801, an affirmative determination is made in step S1802, or the process of step S1803 is executed, whether or not the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, the second general electric power It is determined whether or not the device 122 is in the open execution state, or whether or not the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state (step S1804). If a negative determination is made in step S1804, the processes of step S1805 and step S1806 are executed. These processes will be described later. After that, the processes of steps S1807 to S1813 are executed. The processing contents of steps S1807 to S1813 are the same as the processing contents of steps S1304 to S1310 of the third general-purpose electric control process (FIG. 26) in the fourth embodiment.

On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1804, the fluctuation stop process is executed in step S1814. In the fluctuation stop processing, if the current display continuation time in the third normal figure display unit 133 is being executed, the display continuation time in the third normal figure display unit 133 is set to the display mode of the current display mode of the third normal figure display unit 133. In the state, it is temporarily stopped and the update of the third timer counter is temporarily stopped. Further, in the variable stop processing, "1" is set in the third stop flag provided in the main RAM 74.

After that, on the condition that the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state (step S1815: YES), the clearing process of the third general drawing holding area 143 is performed. Execute (step S1816). In the clearing process, "0" is cleared from the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third general drawing reservation area 143. As a result, even if the reserved information on the third normal drawing side is stored on hold, the reserved information on the third normal drawing side is deleted and is not stored on hold. Further, in the clearing process, the execution area 143e for the third normal figure is cleared to "0" and the third normal figure normal electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, even if the display continuation times are being executed in the third normal figure display unit 133, it is invalidated.

In the present embodiment, when the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the fluctuation stop processing (step S1116) is performed by making an affirmative determination in step S1104 in the first general electric power control process (FIG. 24). Is executed, and in the second normal power control process (FIG. 25), the fluctuation stop process (step S1215) is executed by making an affirmative determination in step S1204, and the fourth normal power control process (FIG. 27) is executed. Then, the fluctuation stop process (step S1411) is executed by making an affirmative determination in step S1401. Therefore, in the situation where the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is not in the open execution state, and the special winning device 35 is in the open execution state. There is no such thing.

In the third normal diagram normal power control process, when a negative determination is made in step S1804 and "1" is set in the third stopped flag of the main RAM 74 (step S1805: YES), the third 3 Clear the stopped flag to "0" (step S1806). As a result, when the third normal figure display unit 133 is temporarily stopped in the middle of the display continuation times, the display continuation times are restarted and the update of the third timer counter is restarted.

According to the above configuration, when the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, even if the third general drawing side hold information is held and stored, it is deleted. As a result, when the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, the third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the fourth general figure display unit 134. Can be terminated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the situation in which the special winning device 35 can be won from being continued until after the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state. Become.

<8th Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the mode of selecting the display continuation period of the third normal figure display unit 133 in the main MPU 72 is different from that of the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the fourth embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the fourth embodiment will be basically omitted.

FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the identification process of the third normal figure fluctuation period executed by the main MPU 72. The process for specifying the third normal figure fluctuation period is executed in the third normal figure change start process in step S1307 in the third normal figure normal electric control process (FIG. 26).

First, whether or not one or more second normal map side hold information is stored in the first area 142a to the fourth area 142d of the second normal figure hold area 142, or the display continuation times of the second normal figure display unit 132 is executed. It is determined whether or not it is inside (step S1901). If a negative determination is made in step S1901, a long period of time is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 (step S1902). The long period is set to 300 seconds, which is the same as the display continuation period of the third normal figure display unit 133 in the fourth embodiment. Therefore, it can be expected that a further prize will be generated for the specific operating unit 124 in the continuous display times of the third normal figure display unit 133, and when the prize is generated, the hold information on the third normal figure side is reserved and stored. The third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. On the other hand, when an affirmative determination is made in step S1901, a short period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times in the third general drawing display unit 133 (step S1903). The short period is set to 0.5 seconds. In this case, since it is not expected that a further prize will be generated for the specific operating unit 124 when the display of the third normal drawing display unit 133 is continued, the holding information on the third normal drawing side is not stored on hold, and the fourth normal drawing side is not stored. The third display continuation period is not selected in the display continuation times of the figure display unit 134.

When any of the processes of step S1902 and step S1903 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in either step S1902 or step S1903 is set in the third timer counter of the main RAM 74 (step S1904). The update of the numerical information set in the third timer counter is executed in the timer update process of step S210 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11).

According to the above configuration, when the first normal electric device 121 is in the open execution state and the second general drawing side hold information is acquired based on the winning of the first general electric device 121, the third normal drawing side hold information is obtained. Is not stored on hold. Then, when the hold information on the third normal figure side is not stored on hold, the third display continuation period is not selected in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134, so that the special winning device 35 is not won. Become. As a result, the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is prevented from continuing when the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the situation in which the special winning device 35 can be won from being continued until after the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state.

<9th embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the processing configuration of the specific processing of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period executed by the main MPU 72 is different from that of the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the fourth embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the fourth embodiment will be basically omitted.

FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the identification process of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period in the present embodiment. First, it is determined whether or not one or more third normal drawing side holding information is stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal drawing holding area 143 (step S2001). When a negative determination is made in step S2001, it is determined whether or not one or more fourth ordinary drawing side reserved information is stored in the first to fourth areas of the fourth ordinary drawing holding area (step S2002). ).

Here, in the fourth embodiment, the hold information on the fourth normal figure side is not stored on hold, but in the present embodiment, the display continuation times are executed by the fourth normal figure display unit 134. When a prize is given to the winning unit 34, the holding information on the fourth general drawing side is acquired and stored on hold as a trigger of the winning. The maximum number of items to be stored on hold is set to 4, but the number is not limited to this, and may be 1, 2, or 3 or 5 or more.

If a negative determination is made in step S2002, a lottery process for selecting a period is executed (step S2003). In the lottery process, numerical information is acquired from a random number counter that is periodically (for example, 4 milliseconds cycle) updated in the main RAM 74, and the acquired numerical information is stored in a period selection table stored in advance in the main ROM 73. Match against. The period selection table is set so that the selection winning result is obtained with a probability of 1/500.

When the result of the lottery process for period selection is not the selection winning result but the wrong result (step S2004: NO), the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S2005). Similar to the first embodiment, the first display duration is 0.45 seconds. In the situation where the first display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, even if the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the special winning device 35 is basically not awarded.

On the other hand, when one or more of the third normal drawing side reserved information is stored and an affirmative judgment is made in step S2001, one or more of the fourth normal drawing side reserved information is stored and an affirmative judgment is made in step S2002. In this case, or when the result of the lottery process for period selection is the selection winning result and an affirmative determination is made in step S2004, the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S2006). Similar to the first embodiment, the third display duration is 1 second. In the situation where the third display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, the special winning device 35 is one of the 11 game balls that reach the position where the special winning device 35 can be won. Can be expected to win a prize.

When any of the processes of step S2005 and step S2006 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in either step S2005 or step S2006 is set in the fourth timer counter of the main RAM 74 (step S2007).

According to the above configuration, not only when the third normal figure side hold information is held and stored, but also when the fourth normal figure side hold information is held and stored, in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. The third display duration is selected. Then, when the third display continuation period is selected, a prize can be generated in the special prize device 35. This makes it possible to increase the frequency of winning a prize in the special winning device 35.

In particular, when the third display continuation period is selected, a new prize is likely to occur in the through winning unit 34 in the situation where the display continuation time is executed in the fourth normal figure display unit 134, so that the fourth display unit 34 It becomes easier to continue the situation where the hold information on the normal map side is held and stored. That is, the third display continuation period is selected at the display continuation times of the fourth ordinary figure display unit 134 by holding and storing the third ordinary figure side hold information. Then, when the third display continuation period is selected, the hold information on the fourth normal figure side is easily held and stored, and when the hold information on the fourth normal figure side is held and stored, the hold information on the third normal figure side is stored. Even if it is not stored on hold, the third display continuation period is selected at the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the situation in which the third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134.

<10th Embodiment>
In this embodiment, the configuration of the game area PA is different from that of the first embodiment, and is executed when a prize is generated in the first operating unit 32 and when a prize is generated in the special winning device 35. The processing content is different from that of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be basically omitted.

FIG. 36 is a front view of the game board 24 in this embodiment. The game area PA is divided into an upper area PA1, a left side area PA2, a right side area PA3, and a lower area PA4 by the variable display unit 37 as in the first embodiment. The lower region PA4 is provided with a first actuating portion 32 as in the first embodiment. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 are provided in the left side region PA2, but in the present embodiment, these through winning units 34 and the special winning device 35 are not in the left side region PA2 but in the right side. It is provided in region PA3. Further, the right side region PA3 is provided with the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123. The configurations of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 are the same as those in the fourth embodiment.

In the right area PA3, the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 are provided side by side in the vertical direction at predetermined intervals. In this case, the first general electric device 121 is arranged on the most upstream side, the second general electric device 122 is arranged below it, and the third general electric device 123 is arranged below it. In all of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123, when the corresponding general electric accessories 121a to 123a are in the closed state, the game ball cannot be won. When the corresponding universal devices 121a to 123a are opened, the game ball can be won. Then, the game ball that has won any of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 is guided to the back side of the game board 24 and discharged.

By winning the internal lottery executed based on the winning of the first operating unit 32, the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, and the first general electric device 121 is in the open state. Further, by winning the internal lottery executed based on the winning of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state and the second general electric device 122 is in the open state. Further, by winning the internal lottery executed based on the winning of the second general electric device 122, the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, and the third general electric device 123 is in the open state. When a game ball enters any of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123, 15 games are played for each game ball. The payout of the ball is executed.

In the right area PA3, a through winning unit 34 and a special winning device 35 are provided on the downstream side of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123. A game ball that has flowed into the right area PA3 between the third general electric device 123 and the through winning unit 34 and has not won any of the first general electric devices 121 to the third general electric device 123. An upper guide region 155 is formed to reliably guide the through winning portion 34. The method of forming the upper guide region 155 is arbitrary, but in the pachinko machine 10, the upper guide region 155 is formed by arranging a plurality of nails 24b.

The through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 are arranged so as to be vertically separated from each other so that the through winning unit 34 faces upward. In this case, the vertical positional relationship between the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 is the above-mentioned first, except that the orientation of the special winning device 35 is opposite to the orientation in the first embodiment. It is the same as the embodiment. Further, in the area between the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35, the game ball winning the through winning unit 34 is surely placed in the entrance portion 42a of the discharge passage 42 or the opening / closing member 43 arranged at the non-accepting position. A lower guide region 156 for guiding is formed. The method of forming the lower guide region 156 is arbitrary, but in the pachinko machine 10, the lower guide region 156 is formed by arranging a plurality of nails 24b and by the upright wall 48 of the special winning device 35. By forming the lower guide area 156, if the opening / closing member 43 is arranged in the non-accepting position, the game ball that has won the through winning portion 34 is surely arranged in the non-accepting position. If the opening / closing member 43 reaches the member 43 and the opening / closing member 43 is arranged at the receiving position, the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 surely enters the discharge passage 42.

Since the upper surface of the opening / closing member 43 and the ball receiving surface 44 are formed so as to be inclined downward toward the left, the game balls placed on these surfaces flow down toward the left due to their own weight. It will be. In this case, the positional relationship of the special winning device 35 with respect to the first operating portion 32 is that the game ball flowing down the upper surface of the opening / closing member 43 and the ball receiving surface 44 toward the left does not enter the first operating portion 32. It is set in a positional relationship that makes it difficult to enter the ball. Further, since the introduction port 37b that allows the game ball to flow into the stage 37a in the variable display unit 37 is provided only in the upper left portion of the variable display unit 37, the game ball is launched so as to flow down the right region PA3. When the operation is performed, the game ball is not supplied to the stage 37a through the introduction port 37b. Therefore, in order to generate a prize for the first operating unit 32, the game ball is not launched so as to flow down the right side region PA3, but the game ball is launched so as to flow down the left side region PA2. There is a need.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be composed of other types of display devices such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, a CRT or a dot matrix display device. In addition, as the patterns displayed on the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134, a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of symbols are displayed, and a plurality of types of characters Is displayed, or a configuration in which a plurality of types of colors are displayed is conceivable. Further, the display range of the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is narrower than the display surface of the symbol display device 51. Further, the display range for both the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 and the first normal figure hold display unit 135 to the third normal figure hold display unit 137 is also the display range of the symbol display device 51. The area is narrower than the display surface. As a result, the player's attention to the symbol display device 51 is higher than that of the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 and the first normal figure hold display unit 135 to the third normal figure hold display unit 137. It becomes possible to increase.

Up to 4 pieces of information corresponding to the number of game balls winning in the 2nd normal electric device 122 are held as the 3rd normal figure side hold information, and the hold number is displayed by lighting the 3rd normal figure hold display unit 137. It has become so. As in the fourth embodiment, the main RAM 74 is provided with the third normal drawing holding area 143 as an area for storing the third normal drawing side holding information.

Based on the fact that the game ball enters the through winning unit 34, the display continuation time including the variation display of the pattern is performed in the fourth normal figure display unit 134. Here, the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is not provided with the normal figure hold display unit. That is, the fourth general drawing side hold information acquired when a prize is won in the through winning section 34 is not stored on hold. As in the fourth embodiment, the main RAM 74 is provided with the fourth normal drawing execution area 144 as an area for storing the fourth normal drawing side hold information.

Here, the first display continuation period and the third display continuation period are set as the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134. The first display duration is set to 0.45 seconds as in the first embodiment. Further, the third display continuation period is set to 1.5 seconds unlike the first embodiment. In this case, the positional relationship between the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 is such that when the first display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the fourth general drawing display unit 134, the special winning device 35 is awarded. Is impossible or difficult to occur, and when the third display continuation period is selected in the display continuation times of the fourth general figure display unit 134, the ratio of one of the two game balls that won the through winning unit 34. It is set to the positional relationship in which a prize is generated in the special prize device 35. When a prize is generated in the special winning device 35, 15 game balls are paid out for each game ball. As a result, when the third display continuation time is selected in the display continuation time of the fourth normal figure display unit 134, a larger number of game balls than the number of game balls supplied to the through winning unit 34 are played. Will be paid out to the person.

<Third General Figure General Electric Control Processing>
Next, the third general-purpose electric control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the third normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the third normal drawing display unit 133 and the execution control of the open execution state of the third normal drawing device 123 are performed. FIG. 39 is a slow chart showing the third normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated in the second normal electric device 122 (step S2301: YES), the third normal figure side hold stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure holding area 143. On condition that the number of pieces of information is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S2302: NO), the storage process in the third general drawing reservation area 143 is executed (step S2303). In the storage process, the numerical information of the normal electric random number counter C11 is stored as the third normal figure side hold information, and the third normal figure side hold information in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure hold area 143 is stored. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order among the areas that have not been processed. When the third normal figure side hold information is acquired, the display contents of the third normal figure hold display unit 137 are updated in accordance with the increase in the number of the third normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

When a negative determination is made in step S2301, an affirmative determination is made in step S2302, or the process of step S2303 is executed, is the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 in the open execution state? Whether or not it is determined (step S2304). If a negative determination is made in step S2304, the processes of steps S2305 and S2306 are executed. These processes will be described later. After that, the third normal-figure general-purpose electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S2307). In the third Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the third Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The third Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the third Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The third normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "4", and each value of "0" to "4" is the start address NA30 to NA34 of each process (step S23110-step S2314). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the third normal figure counter is "0", the third normal figure fluctuation start process (3rd normal figure fluctuation start process), which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 ( Step S2310) is the execution target, and when the value of the third normal figure counter is "1", the third normal figure change, which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133. When the middle process (step S2311) is the execution target and the value of the third normal figure counter is "2", the third process for ending the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133. The process during determination of the normal figure (step S2312) is the execution target, and when the value of the third normal figure counter is "3", it is a process for controlling the open state of the third normal electric device 123. 3 The process during opening of the normal power (step S2313) is the execution target, and when the value of the normal power counter in the third normal figure is "4", it is a process for returning the third normal power device 123 to the open state again. The third normal electric power closing process (step S2314) is the execution target.

In the third Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the third Fuzu Fuden address table (step S2307), the start address corresponding to the information of the third Fuzu Fuden counter is set to the third Fuzu Fuden address. It is acquired from the table (step S2308) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S2309). Hereinafter, each process of steps S231 to S2314 will be described individually.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process of step S2310, on the condition that the third normal figure side hold information is held and stored in the third normal figure holding area 143, it is held and stored in the third normal figure holding area 143. Executes the process of shifting the held information on the third normal map side. Specifically, the third normal map side hold information stored in the first area 143a of the third normal figure hold area 143 is shifted to the third normal figure execution area 143e, and then the second area 143b → the second. The third area reserved information is shifted so as to be 1 area 143a, 3rd area 143c → 2nd area 143b, and 4th area 143d → 3rd area 143c. When the third normal figure side hold information is shifted, the display contents of the third normal figure hold display unit 137 are updated in accordance with the decrease in the number of the third normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process, after the above shift process is executed, the third normal figure side reserved information newly shifted to the third normal figure execution area 143e is used as the lottery value for the third normal figure open lottery process. To execute. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the 3rd public power opening in the 3rd public power opening lottery process is constant regardless of the gaming state, and specifically, the probability of winning the 3rd public power is 99/100. It will be an open win. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability of winning the third public train opening may be higher or lower than this. Further, if the third general-purpose drawing side hold information is acquired without executing the third general-purpose electric power opening lottery process, the opening execution state of the third general-purpose electric device 123 may be surely generated.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process, when the third normal electric open lottery process is executed, a process for specifying the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is executed. In the specific process, a fixed display duration of 0.03 seconds is set to the third timer counter provided in the main RAM 74 regardless of the result of the third normal electric opening lottery process and the number of reserved information on the third normal figure side. set. When the display continuation times are executed by the third normal figure display unit 133, the corresponding effects are not executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. After the first normal electric device 121 is in the open execution state, all of the second normal drawing side hold information acquired by the open execution state is digested, and the second normal drawing side hold information is used as an opportunity. All the open execution states of the second normal electric device 122 are completed, and all of the third normal figure side hold information acquired by the open execution state is digested, and the third normal figure side hold information is used as an opportunity. The jackpot state of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment corresponds to the period until all the open execution states of the third general electric device 123 are completed, and in the jackpot state, the effect corresponding to the jackpot state is displayed by the symbol display device 51. It is executed by the light emitting unit 63 and the speaker unit 64.

In the third normal figure fluctuation start process, after executing the process for specifying the display continuation period, the change display of the pattern on the third normal figure display unit 133 is started. When the third normal figure display unit 133 causes the variable display of the pattern to be performed, the variable display table for the normal figure already described is referred to. After starting the variable display of the pattern on the third normal figure display unit 133, the value of the third normal figure normal electric counter is added by one. Since the value of the 3rd normal power counter is "0" when the 3rd normal power fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the 3rd normal power counter becomes the 2nd normal power by adding 1. It becomes "1" corresponding to the processing during fluctuation (step S2311).

In the process during the change of the third normal figure in step S2311, it is determined whether or not the timing is during the continuous display rotation and before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the third timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.01 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. If it is before the final display, the process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern in the third general drawing display unit 133 is executed. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the third normal figure display unit 133 is set to the display mode corresponding to the result of the third normal electric opening lottery process this time. After that, by adding 1 to the value of the 3rd normal figure normal electric counter, the value of the counter corresponds to the process corresponding to the process during the change of the 3rd normal figure to the process corresponding to the process during the determination of the 3rd normal figure (step S2312). Update to.

In the process of confirming the third normal figure in step S2312, it is determined whether or not the confirmed display period (specifically, 0.01 seconds) of the current display continuation times has elapsed. When the fixed display period has passed, it is determined whether or not the result of the third public power opening lottery process in the current display continuation time is the third public power opening winning. If the third normal train is not won, the process of confirming the third normal train is terminated after the value of the third normal train counter is cleared to "0". When the third normal power opening is won, "3" is set as information on the number of times of opening and closing of the third normal power device 123 in the third normal power opening counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set in the third general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as information on the maximum number of winnings in the third general electric device 123 in the open execution state this time. In addition, information corresponding to 3 seconds is set in the third timer counter as information on the open duration of the third general electric device 123. Further, the third normal electric device 123 is opened by starting the output of the drive signal to the third general electric drive unit 123b. After that, the third normal figure normal electric counter is added by one. Since the value of the 3rd normal power counter is "2" when the 3rd normal power determination processing is executed, "3" corresponding to the 3rd normal power open processing (step S2313) after 1 addition. ".

In the process of opening the third normal power in step S2313, when a prize is generated in the third general power device 123, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the third general power winning counter of the main RAM 74. To do. Then, when the value of the third normal power winning counter is "0", the value of the third normal power release counter is cleared to "0", the value of the third timer counter is cleared to "0", and the third is further. By stopping the output of the drive signal to the 3 normal electric drive unit 123b, the 3rd general electric accessory 123a is closed and the value of the 3rd general electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the third normal figure normal power control process becomes the third normal figure change start process (step S2310). Further, even if the value of the third normal power winning counter is not "0", if the value of the third timer counter is "0", the drive signal is output to the third normal power drive unit 123b. By stopping the operation, the third utility object 123a is closed and the value of the third utility release counter of the main RAM 74 is subtracted by 1. Then, when the value of the third general electric power opening counter is not "0", after setting the numerical information of the closing duration (specifically, 1 second) of the third general electric power accessory 123a in the third timer counter. 3rd Fuzu The value of the Fuden counter is updated from "3" to "4". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the third normal power control process becomes the third normal power closed process (step S2314). When the value of the third normal power release counter is "0", the value of the third normal power counter is cleared to "0" without setting the value in the third timer counter. As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the third normal figure normal power control process becomes the third normal figure change start process (step S2310).

In the third normal power closing process in step S2314, the output of the drive signal to the third normal power drive unit 123b is started on condition that the value of the third timer counter is "0". 3 Set the numerical information of the opening duration (specifically, 3 seconds) in the case where the utility accessory 123a is in the open state and the third utility accessory 123a is in the open state once in the third timer counter. .. Then, the value of the third normal figure normal electric counter is updated from "4" to "3". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the third normal power control process becomes the third normal power open processing (step S2313).

By executing the third normal drawing control process as described above, the pattern variation display is performed on the third normal drawing display unit 133, triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the second normal drawing device 122. .. Then, in the case where the third normal power opening is won in the third normal power opening lottery process, the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state after the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 are completed. .. In the open execution state, the third general electric device 123 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning balls in the third universal device 123 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated.

In the third normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121 or the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state, a positive determination is made in step S2304, and the fluctuation stop process is performed in step S2315. Execute. In the fluctuation stop processing, if the current display continuation time in the third normal figure display unit 133 is being executed, the display continuation time in the third normal figure display unit 133 is set to the display mode of the current display mode of the third normal figure display unit 133. In the state, it is temporarily stopped and the update of the third timer counter is temporarily stopped. Further, in the variable stop processing, "1" is set in the third stop flag provided in the main RAM 74.

In the third normal diagram normal electric control process, when a negative determination is made in step S2304 and "1" is set in the third stopped flag of the main RAM 74 (step S2305: YES), the third 3 The stopped flag is cleared to "0" (step S2306). As a result, when the third normal figure display unit 133 is temporarily stopped in the middle of the display continuation times, the display continuation times are restarted and the update of the third timer counter is restarted.

As described above, in the third normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121 or the second normal power device 122 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the third normal power display unit 133 are temporarily stopped. Execute the process. As a result, when the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, it is possible to prevent the display continuation times of the third general drawing display unit 133 from proceeding. Therefore, when the first general electric device 121 or the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, it is possible to prevent the third general electric device 123 from being duplicated in the open execution state. Become.

<No. 4 Fuden control processing>
Next, the fourth normal power control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the fourth normal figure normal electric control process, the execution control of the display continuous times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 and the execution control of the acceptance execution state of the special prize apparatus 35 are performed. FIG. 40 is a slow chart showing the fourth normal power control process.

First, the fourth normal-figure general-purpose electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S2401). In the 4th Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the 4th Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The fourth normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "3", and each value of "0" to "3" is the start address NA40 to NA43 of each process (step S2404 to step S2407). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the 4th normal figure counter is "0", the 4th normal figure fluctuation start process (4th normal figure fluctuation start process) which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the 4th normal figure display unit 134 ( Step S2404) is the execution target, and when the value of the fourth normal-figure counter is "1", the fourth normal-figure variation, which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the fourth normal-figure display unit 134. When the middle process (step S2405) is the execution target and the value of the fourth normal figure counter is "2", the fourth process is for ending the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134. When the process during confirmation of the normal figure (step S2406) is the execution target and the value of the fourth normal figure counter is "3", the fourth normal is a process for controlling the acceptance state of the special winning device 35. The process during power release (step S2407) is the execution target.

In the 4th Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the 4th Fuzu Fuden address table (step S2401), the start address corresponding to the information of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is set to the 4th Fuzu Fuden address. It is acquired from the table (step S2402) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S2403). The processing contents of steps S2405 to S2407 are the same as the processing contents of steps S1407 to S1410 of the fourth normal power control process (FIG. 27) in the fourth embodiment. Further, the processing content of the fourth normal figure fluctuation start processing in step S2404 is the fourth normal figure fluctuation start processing (FIG. 28) in the fourth embodiment, except for the processing content of the specific processing of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period. It is the same as the processing content.

FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing a specific process of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period.

First, it is determined whether or not one or more second normal drawing side holding information is stored in the first area 142a to the fourth area 142d of the second normal drawing holding area 142 (step S2501). If a negative determination is made in step S2501, the first display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S2501). Similar to the first embodiment, the first display duration is 0.45 seconds. In the situation where the first display continuation period is selected, as in the first embodiment, even if the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state, the special winning device 35 is basically not awarded.

On the other hand, when one or more pieces of the second general drawing side hold information are stored and an affirmative determination is made in step S2501, the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation times (step S2503). The duration of the third display is 1.5 seconds. In the situation where the third display continuation period is selected, it can be expected that one of the two game balls reaching the position where the special winning device 35 can be won will be won.

When any of the processes of step S2502 and step S2503 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in either step S2502 or step S2503 is set in the fourth timer counter of the main RAM 74 (step S2504).

With the above configuration, the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 in the situation where the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored. Winning of the special winning device 35 can occur frequently. As a result, in the jackpot state in which the second general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123 are in the open execution state, not only the second general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123 but also the special winning device 35 is awarded. It is possible to expect an increase in the number of game balls based on the above, and it is possible to increase the advantage of the jackpot state.

<Relationship between the display duration of the 4th general drawing display unit 134 and the acceptance status of the special winning device 35>
Next, the relationship between the display duration of the fourth general drawing display unit 134 and the acceptance state of the special winning device 35 will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. 42. FIG. 42 (a) shows a period in which the first general electric device 121 is in the open state, and FIG. 42 (b) shows a game ball detected by the first general electric device 121c of the first general electric device 121. FIG. 42 (c) shows the period during which the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 are executed, and FIG. 42 (d) shows the hold storage of one or more second normal figure side hold information. 42 (e) shows the period during which the game ball is passing through the through winning unit 34, and FIG. 42 (f) shows the game ball at a position where the special winning device 35 can be won. 42 (g) shows the period during which the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are executed, and FIG. 42 (h) shows the special winning device 35 in the accepting state. Indicates the period of time.

As already explained, all the game balls that have flowed into the right area PA3 and have not won any of the first normal electric devices 121 to the third general electric devices 123 will be awarded to the through winning section 34. .. Therefore, before the open execution state of the first general electric device 121 is started, as shown in FIG. 42 (e), the through winning unit 34 is won at the timing of t1, the timing of t4, and the timing of t9. .. In these cases, as shown in FIG. 42 (g), in each period of the timing of t1 to the timing of t2, the timing of t4 to the timing of t7, and the timing of t9 to the timing of t13, the fourth function according to the first display continuation period is used. The display continuation times of the figure display unit 134 are performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 42 (h) following the display continuation times, a special prize is won in each period of the timing of t2 to the timing of t3, the timing of t7 to the timing of t8, and the timing of t13 to the timing of t14. The device 35 is in the acceptance execution state. In this case, the game ball that won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t1 is from the timing of t5 to the timing of t6, and the game ball that won the through winning section 34 at the timing of t4 is from the timing of t10 to the timing of t11. Over time, the game ball that won the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t9 will reach the position where it is possible to win the special winning device 35 from the timing of t15 to the timing of t16, respectively. Since the special prize device 35 is not in the accepting state even during the period of, no prize is generated for the special prize device 35.

After that, as shown in FIG. 42 (a), the first electric device 121 is in the open execution state from the timing of t10 to the timing of t21. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 42B, a prize is generated in the first electric device 121 at each of the timing of t12, the timing of t17, and the timing of t18, and the second general drawing side holding information is acquired. In this case, as shown in FIG. 42 (c), the display continuation times of the second general drawing display unit 132 from the timing of t12 to the timing of t19, triggered by the winning of the first general electric device 121 at the timing of t12. Is done. On the other hand, since the winning of the first general electric device 121 at the timing of t17 and the timing of t18 occurs in the situation where the display continuation times of the second general drawing display unit 132 are being performed, the second normal drawing side holding information Will be stored on hold. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 42 (d), at the timing of t17, one or more second normal drawing side hold information is held and stored.

As shown in FIG. 42 (e), a prize is generated in the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t20, which is a situation in which one or more pieces of the second general drawing side hold information are held and stored. Then, at the timing of t20, as shown in FIG. 42 (g), the display continuation times in the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 are started. Since one or more pieces of the second general drawing side hold information are held and stored, the display continuation time is the third display continuation period. Therefore, the display continuation time is performed from the timing of t20 to the timing of t22. Then, after the display continuation times are completed, the special winning device 35 is in the acceptance execution state from the timing of t22 to the timing of t24 as shown in FIG. 42 (h). In this case, the position where the game ball that has won the through winning unit 34 at the timing of t20 can win the special winning device 35 from the timing of t22 to the timing of t23 as shown in FIG. 42 (f). Exists in. Since this period corresponds to the period during which the special winning device 35 is in the accepting state, a prize will be generated for the special winning device 35.

According to the present embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained in addition to or in place of the effects described in the first embodiment.

In the jackpot state, not only the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123 may be in the open execution state, but also the special winning device 35 may be in the acceptance execution state. As a result, it is possible to increase the advantage in the jackpot state, and it is possible to increase the player's attention to the jackpot state.

In the jackpot state, the first general electric device 121 is first in the open execution state, and the first general electric device 121 in the open execution state is awarded a prize to acquire the second general drawing side hold information. Then, the second electric power device 122 is in the open execution state. In this case, when the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are executed in the situation where the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored, the display continuation period of the display continuation times is the third display continuation period. Is set and the third display continuation period is set, so that the special winning device 35 is won a prize at a predetermined frequency. As a result, it is possible to create a situation in which a plurality of devices 35 and 122 can be won in the wake of winning the first general electric device 121, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game in the jackpot state. ..

Further, when the second general drawing side holding information is acquired, the second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state without requiring the generation of further winning, whereas the special winning device 35 accepts it. In order to be in the execution state, it is necessary to win a prize in the through winning section 34 in a situation where the second general drawing side hold information is held and stored, and further, in order to generate a prize in the special winning device 35. It is necessary for the game ball to reach a position where it is possible to enter the special winning device 35 after the third display continuation period is set in the display continuation times of the fourth general drawing display unit 134. As a result, even if it is possible to win a prize in each of the special winning device 35 and the second general electric device 122 by acquiring the second general drawing side hold information, the condition for generating the winning is the special winning device. It is possible to make the 35 and the second electric device 122 different.

The through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35 are provided on the right side region PA3 on the downstream side of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123. As a result, the game balls that did not win the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 in the jackpot state can win the through winning unit 34 and the special winning device 35. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of game balls that are wasted in the jackpot state.

In the configuration in which the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored in the jackpot state, in the situation where the second normal figure side hold information is not held and stored, the first display is performed by the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. By setting the duration, the special winning device 35 basically does not win a prize. As a result, it is possible to limit the situation in which the special winning device 35 is awarded at a predetermined frequency to the jackpot state.

If any of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 has occurred, the other state among them has occurred. Is not generated, but any one of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 has occurred. Even so, the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 may occur. As a result, it is possible to diversify the mode in which prizes are generated, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state based on the occurrence of a prize in the first general electric device 121, and the third general electric device 123 is based on the occurrence of a prize in the second general electric device 122. Is in the open execution state, any one of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 has occurred. In some cases the other states of them do not occur. As a result, the player can gradually aim to win a prize in the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123. On the other hand, the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 occurs regardless of the winning of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123. In this case, even if any one of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 has occurred. An open execution state of the special winning device 35 may occur. This creates a situation in which it is possible to simultaneously aim for a prize in any one of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 and a prize in the special winning device 35. It becomes possible.

In a configuration in which the acceptance execution state of the special winning device 35 and the open execution state of any one of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 can occur in duplicate, the special winning device The 35 is provided at a position where a prize can be won when the game ball is flowing down so as to flow down toward the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123. As a result, it is possible to perform the firing operation aiming at both the winning of the special winning device 35 and the winning of any of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123. It becomes.

When any of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 occurs, the other device among them occurs. The display continuation times in the corresponding normal map display units 131, 132, and 133 are prevented from progressing. As a result, any one of the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 is performed only by adjusting the progress of the display continuation times. When is occurring, it is possible to prevent other states from occurring.

The states in which the display continuation times are not advanced as described above are the open execution state of the first general electric device 121, the open execution state of the second general electric device 122, and the open execution state of the third general electric device 123. Of these, the progress of the display continuation times is canceled after the state corresponding to the normal map display units 131, 132, 133, which is not the target of the stop, is completed, and if the display continuation times are temporarily stopped in the middle, the display continuation is continued. The progress of the times is resumed. This makes it possible to prevent the display continuation times, which are the targets of suspension of progress, from being invalidated.

<Another form of the tenth embodiment>
(1) Even if the 4th ordinary drawing side holding information is acquired, the special winning device 35 is not in the acceptance execution state unless the acceptance winning result is obtained in the acceptance determination process, but the 4th ordinary drawing side holding information is The special winning device 35 may be configured to be in the acceptance execution state when it is acquired, and when the fourth general drawing side hold information is acquired, the special winning device 35 is accepted and executed with a probability of approximately 100%. It may be configured to be in a state.

(2) If the predetermined devices 121, 122, 123 that do not correspond to the normal map display units 131, 132, 133 are in the open execution state during the display continuation times in the normal map display units 131, 132, 133, the operation is changed. The configuration is such that the display continuation times during execution are temporarily stopped, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the display continuation times of the display continuation times are continued for the period during which the predetermined devices 121, 122, and 123 are in the open execution state. The period may be extended. In this case, during the period when the predetermined devices 121, 122, 123 are in the open execution state, the variable display of the pattern is continued on the normal map display units 131, 132, 133 corresponding to the display continuation times during execution. May be.

(3) The third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 in the situation where the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored. It is not limited, and even if the third display continuation period is selected as the display continuation period in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 in the situation where the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored. Often, in a situation where either the second normal figure side hold information or the third normal figure side hold information is held and stored, the third display continuation period is set as the display continuation period in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134. The configuration may be selected, and in a situation where both the second normal figure side hold information and the third normal figure side hold information are held and stored, the display continuation period in the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is the second. 3 The display duration may be selected.

(4) The display continuation time of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 is not temporarily stopped even if any of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and when any one of the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, and the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the fourth general device is used. The display continuation times of the figure display unit 134 may be temporarily stopped, and when the event that triggered the temporary stop ends, the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 may be restarted.

(5) Limited to a configuration in which the third display continuation period is surely set when the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are started in the situation where the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored. It may be configured so that the third display duration can be easily set. Specifically, the display of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is continued regardless of whether the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored or the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored. Although the third display continuation period can be set in the times, the situation in which the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored is better than the situation in which the second normal figure side hold information is not held and stored. The third display continuation period may be easily set in the display continuation times of the display unit 134.

The occurrence of a prize in the through winning unit 162 is identified. Further, since the winning of the second through winning section 162 is only passed through the through hole in the vertical direction, the game ball winning the second through winning section 162 continues to flow down the game area PA. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game ball that has entered the second through winning unit 162 may be discharged to the back side of the game board 24. Further, when a prize is generated in the second through winning unit 162, two game balls are paid out for each game ball, but the number of payouts is other than one. It is also possible to configure the game ball so that the payout of the game ball is not executed.

The first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, the third general electric device 123, and the fourth general electric device 161 are arranged from the upstream side in the right area PA3 from the first general electric device 121 → the second general electric device 122 →. The third general electric device 123 → the fourth general electric device 161 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction at predetermined intervals. Further, the second through winning unit 162 is provided in the right side area PA3 on the left side of the area where the first general electric device 121 to the fourth general electric device 161 are provided and on the downstream side of the fourth general electric device 161. There is. On the upstream side of the second through winning section 162, the game ball that has flowed into the right region PA3 and has not won the first normal electric device 121 to the fourth general electric device 161 is the second through winning section 162. A right side guide area 163 for guiding to is formed. The method of forming the right guide region 163 is arbitrary, but in the pachinko machine 10, the right guide region 163 is formed by arranging a plurality of nails 24b. Since the right side guide area 163 is formed, one of the two game balls that have flowed into the right side area PA3 and have not won a prize in the first general electric device 121 to the fourth general electric device 161. The probability of entering the second through winning unit 162 is set so that the ball can be expected to enter the second through winning unit 162.

Here, as described above, when one game ball wins in the second through winning unit 162, two game balls are paid out. On the other hand, as described above, the second through of one of the two game balls that flowed into the right side region PA3 and did not win the first general electric device 121 to the fourth general electric device 161. The probability of entering the second through winning section 162 is set so that the winning section 162 can be expected to enter the ball. As a result, the player can aim to win the second through winning section 162 while not substantially increasing or decreasing the number of balls held.

In the area on the lower right side of the game area PA where the game ball does not pass, the first normal figure display unit 131, the second normal figure display unit 132, the third normal figure display unit 133, the fourth normal figure display unit 134, and the first normal figure display unit 134. The figure hold display unit 135, the second normal figure hold display unit 136, and the third normal figure hold display unit 137 are provided. Each of the first normal figure display units 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is composed of a segment display in which a plurality of segment light emitting units are arranged in a predetermined manner. In this case, it is impossible for the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 to perform a complicated display like the symbol display device 51, but the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure It is possible to reduce the processing load for controlling the display of the display unit 134. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be composed of other types of display devices such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, a CRT or a dot matrix display device. In addition, as the patterns displayed on the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134, a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of symbols are displayed, and a plurality of types of characters Is displayed, or a configuration in which a plurality of types of colors are displayed is conceivable. Further, the display range of the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is narrower than the display surface of the symbol display device 51. Further, the display range for both the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 and the first normal figure hold display unit 135 to the third normal figure hold display unit 137 is also the display range of the symbol display device 51. The area is narrower than the display surface. As a result, the player's attention to the symbol display device 51 is higher than that of the first normal figure display unit 131 to the fourth normal figure display unit 134 and the first normal figure hold display unit 135 to the third normal figure hold display unit 137. It becomes possible to increase.

Based on the fact that the game ball enters the first through winning unit 160, the first general drawing display unit 131 performs the display continuation times including the variable display of the pattern. Further, the first normal figure holding display unit 135 is provided at a position adjacent to the first normal figure display unit 131. Up to four pieces of information corresponding to the number of game balls that have won the first through winning section 160 are held as the holding information on the first normal drawing side, and the holding number is displayed by lighting the holding display section 135 of the first normal drawing. It has become so. As in the fourth embodiment, the main RAM 74 is provided with the first normal drawing holding area 141 as an area for storing the first normal drawing side holding information.

It has become so. As in the fourth embodiment, the main RAM 74 is provided with the third normal drawing holding area 143 as an area for storing the third normal drawing side holding information.

Based on the fact that the game ball enters the second through winning unit 162, the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 performs the display continuation times including the variable display of the pattern. Here, the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is not provided with the normal figure hold display unit. That is, the fourth general drawing side hold information acquired when the second through winning section 162 is won is not stored on hold. As in the fourth embodiment, the main RAM 74 is provided with the fourth normal drawing execution area 144 as an area for storing the fourth normal drawing side hold information.

FIG. 44 is a slow chart showing the first normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated in the first through winning unit 160 (step S2601: YES), the first normal drawing side hold stored in the first area 141a to the fourth area 141d of the first normal drawing holding area 141. On condition that the number of pieces of information is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S2602: NO), the storage process in the first general drawing reservation area 141 is executed (step S2603). In the storage process, the numerical information of the normal electric random number counter C11 is stored as the first normal figure side hold information, and the first normal figure side hold information in the first area 141a to the fourth area 141d of the first normal figure hold area 141 is stored. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order among the areas that have not been processed. When the 1st normal figure side hold information is acquired, the display contents of the 1st normal figure hold display unit 135 are updated in accordance with the increase in the number of 1st normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

When a negative determination is made in step S2601, an affirmative determination is made in step S2602, or the process of step S2603 is executed, the second general electric device 122, the third general electric device 123, or the fourth general electric device 161 Determines whether or not is in the open execution state (step S2604). If a negative determination is made in step S2604, the process of steps S2605 to S2615 is executed. The processing contents of these steps S2605 to S2615 are the same as the processing contents of steps S1105 to S1115 of the first general-purpose electric control process (FIG. 24) in the fourth embodiment. In this case, the probability of winning the first normal power opening in the first normal power opening lottery processing in the first normal figure fluctuation start processing (step S2611) is 1/100. Further, the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 and the symbol display device 51 selected in the first normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2611) is 1 second to 180 seconds. These configurations are the same as those in the fourth embodiment.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S2604, the process of step S2616 is executed. The processing content of step S2616 is the same as the processing content of step S1116 of the first general-purpose electric control process (FIG. 24) in the fourth embodiment.

As a result of the execution of the first general drawing control process as described above, the first general drawing display unit 131 performs variable display of the pattern, triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the first through winning unit 160. At the same time, the symbol display device 51 performs variable display of the symbol. Then, when the first normal power opening is won in the first normal power opening lottery process, the first normal power device 121 is set after the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 and the symbol display device 51 are completed. It will be in the open execution state. In the open execution state, the first general electric device 121 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning game balls to the first general electric device 121 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated. Further, when the game ball wins in the first general electric device 121, the second general drawing side holding information is stored in the second general drawing holding area 142 up to a maximum of four pieces.

Further, in the first normal-figure control process, when the second general-purpose device 122, the third general-purpose device 123, or the fourth general-purpose device 161 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the first normal-figure display unit 131 are performed. Executes the process for temporarily stopping. As a result, when the second general electric device 122, the third general electric device 123, or the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the first general drawing display unit 131 are prevented from proceeding. It becomes possible. Therefore, when the second general electric device 122, the third general electric device 123, or the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state, the first general electric device 121 does not become the open execution state in duplicate. It becomes possible to do so.

In the second normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the second normal drawing display unit 132 and the execution control of the open execution state of the second normal drawing device 122 are performed. FIG. 45 is a slow chart showing the second normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated for the first general electric device 121 or the fourth general electric device 161 (step S2701: YES), it is stored in the first area 142a to the fourth area 142d of the second general drawing reservation area 142. On condition that the number of reserved information on the second normal drawing side is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S2702: NO), the storage process in the holding area 142 on the second normal drawing is executed (step S2703).

If a negative determination is made in step S2704, the process of steps S2705-step S2714 is executed. The processing contents of these steps S2705-step S2714 are basically the same as the processing contents of steps S1205-step S1214 of the second general-purpose electric control process (FIG. 25) in the fourth embodiment. However, the second normal power opening lottery process is not executed in the second normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2710), and the second normal power is surely after the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 are completed. The device 122 is in the open execution state. Further, the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 selected in the second normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2710) is fixed at 0.2 seconds.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S2704, the process of step S2715 is executed. The processing content of step S2715 is the same as the processing content of step S1215 of the second normal power control process (FIG. 25) in the fourth embodiment.

The variable display of the pattern is performed. Then, after the display continuation times in the second normal drawing display unit 132 are completed, the second normal electric device 122 is surely put into the open execution state. In the open execution state, the second general electric device 122 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning game balls to the second electric device 122 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated. Further, when the game ball wins in the second normal electric device 122, the third normal figure side hold information is stored in the third normal figure hold area 143 up to a maximum of four pieces.

Further, in the second normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121, the third normal power device 123, or the fourth normal power device 161 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the second normal power display unit 132 are performed.

As a result, when the first general electric device 121, the third general electric device 123, or the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the second general drawing display unit 132 are prevented from proceeding. It becomes possible. Therefore, when the first general electric device 121, the third general electric device 123, or the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state, the second general electric device 122 does not become the open execution state in duplicate. It becomes possible to do so.

<Third General Figure General Electric Control Processing>
Next, the third general-purpose electric control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the third normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the third normal drawing display unit 133 and the execution control of the open execution state of the third normal drawing device 123 are performed. FIG. 46 is a slow chart showing the third normal power control process.

When a prize has been generated in the second normal electric device 122 (step S2801: YES), the third normal figure side hold stored in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure holding area 143. On condition that the number of pieces of information is less than four, which is the upper limit (step S2802: NO), the storage process in the third general drawing reservation area 143 is executed (step S2803). In the storage process, the numerical information of the normal electric random number counter C11 is stored as the third normal figure side hold information, and the third normal figure side hold information in the first area 143a to the fourth area 143d of the third normal figure hold area 143 is stored. Store in the area with the earliest digestion order among the areas that have not been processed. When the third normal figure side hold information is acquired, the display contents of the third normal figure hold display unit 137 are updated in accordance with the increase in the number of the third normal figure side hold information this time. Set the data to do so.

When a negative determination is made in step S2801, an affirmative determination is made in step S2802, or the process of step S2803 is executed, the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the fourth general electric device 161 Determines whether or not is in the open execution state (step S2804). If a negative determination is made in step S2804, the processes of steps S2805 and S2814 are executed. The processing contents of these steps S2805 to S2814 are basically the same as the processing contents of steps S2305 to S2314 of the third general-purpose electric control process (FIG. 39) in the tenth embodiment. However, the third normal power opening lottery process is not executed in the third normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2810), and after the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 are completed, the third normal electric power is surely executed. The device 123 is in the open execution state.

Further, the display continuation period of the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 selected in the third normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2810) is fixed at 0.03 seconds. As described above, the display continuation period of the display continuation times on the second general diagram display unit 132 is fixed at 0.2 seconds, and when the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the second display continues. The progress of the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 132 is temporarily stopped, and when the open execution state ends, the progress of the display continuation times is restarted. In the configuration, the display continuation period of the third ordinary figure display unit 133 is the period obtained by multiplying the display continuation period by "4" which is a value corresponding to the upper limit number of reserved storage of the third ordinary figure side reserved information. By setting the period to be shorter than the display continuation period of the normal figure display unit 132, all of the third normal figure side hold information acquired in the one-time open execution state of the second normal electric device 122. It is possible to prevent the new open execution state of the second general electric device 122 from being started before the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 corresponding to the above is completed.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S2804, the process of step S2815 is executed. The processing content of step S2815 is the same as the processing content of step S2315 of the third normal power control process (FIG. 39) in the tenth embodiment.

By executing the third normal drawing control process as described above, the pattern variation display is performed on the third normal drawing display unit 133, triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the second normal drawing device 122. .. Then, after the display continuation times in the third normal drawing display unit 133 are completed, the third normal electric device 123 is surely put into the open execution state. In the open execution state, the third general electric device 123 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning balls in the third universal device 123 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated.

Further, in the third normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121, the second normal power device 122, or the fourth normal power device 161 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the third normal power display unit 133 Executes the process for temporarily stopping. As a result, when the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the third general drawing display unit 133 are prevented from proceeding. It becomes possible. Therefore, when the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state, the third general electric device 123 does not become the open execution state in duplicate. It becomes possible to do so.

<No. 4 Fuden control processing>
Next, the fourth normal power control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the fourth normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 and the execution control of the open execution state of the fourth normal drawing device 161 are performed. FIG. 47 is a slow chart showing the fourth normal power control process.

First, it is determined whether or not the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state (step S2901). If a negative determination is made in step S2901, the processes of steps S2902 and S2903 are executed. These processes will be described later. After that, the fourth normal-figure general-purpose electric address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S2904). In the 4th Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the 4th Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The fourth normal figure normal electric counter can take the value of "0" to "4", and each value of "0" to "4" is the start address NA40 to NA44 of each process (step S2907 to step S2911). It corresponds to. Specifically, when the value of the 4th normal figure counter is "0", the 4th normal figure fluctuation start process (4th normal figure fluctuation start process) which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the 4th normal figure display unit 134 ( Step S2907) is the execution target, and when the value of the fourth normal-figure counter is "1", the fourth normal-figure variation, which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the fourth normal-figure display unit 134. When the middle process (step S2908) is the execution target and the value of the fourth normal figure counter is "2", the fourth process is for ending the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134. The process during determination of the normal figure (step S2909) is the execution target, and when the value of the fourth normal power counter is "3", it is a process for controlling the open state of the fourth normal power device 161. 4 The process during opening of the normal power (step S2910) is the execution target, and when the value of the 4th normal power counter is "4", it is a process for returning the 4th normal power device 161 to the open state again. The fourth normal electric closed processing (step S2911) is the execution target.

In the 4th Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the 4th Fuzu Fuden address table (step S2904), the start address corresponding to the information of the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is set to the 4th Fuzu Fuden address. It is acquired from the table (step S2905) and jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S2906). Hereinafter, each process of steps S2907 to S2911 will be described individually.

FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing the fourth normal diagram variation start process of step S2907. When a prize has been generated in the second through winning unit 162 (step S3001: YES), the opening determination process is executed (step S3002). In the open determination process, the numerical information of the current normal electric random number counter C11 is stored in the execution area 144 for the 4th normal drawing as the holding information on the 4th normal drawing side. Then, the openness determination table is read from the main ROM 73, and the read openness determination table is collated with the fourth ordinary figure side hold information stored in the execution area 144 for the fourth ordinary figure. In this case, the probability that the open winning result is determined in the open determination process is determined by the first open lottery process in the first normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2611) of the first normal figure normal electric control process (FIG. 44). It is 1/100, which is the same as the probability of winning the first public train.

When the result of the open determination process is the open winning result (step S3003: YES), the stop result setting process for the open winning result is executed (step S3004). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the open winning result to be finally stopped and displayed in the current display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. .. It should be noted that one type of stop mode may be set for the open winning result, or a plurality of types of stop modes for the open winning result may be set.

When the result of the open determination process is not the open winning result (step S3003: NO), the stop result setting process for the disengagement result is executed (step S3005). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the disengagement result to be finally stopped and displayed on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 at the current display continuation time is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. The information on the mode of the pattern selected in this case is different from the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the open winning result.

After executing any of the stop result setting processes, the specific process of the fourth normal figure fluctuation period is executed (step S3006). After that, the variable display of the pattern on the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 is started (step S3007). When the fourth normal figure display unit 134 causes the variable display of the pattern to be performed, the variable display table for the normal figure already described is referred to.

After that, the value of the 4th normal drawing counter is added by 1 (step S3008). Since the value of the 4th normal-figure counter is "0" when the 4th normal-figure fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the 4th normal-figure counter is the 4th normal-figure counter by adding 1. It becomes "1" corresponding to the processing during fluctuation (step S2908).

FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing a process for specifying the fourth normal figure fluctuation period in step S3006.

In the specific process, when the result of the open determination process in the current display continuation time is not the open winning result (step S3101: NO), the display continuation period of the current display continuation time in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is a long period of time. Is selected (step S3102). It is set to a fixed 600 seconds for a long period of time. This period is longer than the longest display continuation period that can be selected in the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131. In the case where the result is not the open winning result, the display continuation period of the display continuation times on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is set to 600 seconds for a long period of time, so that the first normal electric device 121 and the second normal device 121 and the second normal are set. When the game ball is launched so as to flow down the right region PA3 in a situation other than the jackpot state in which either the electric device 122 or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the fourth It is possible to reduce the digestion efficiency of the continuous display times on the normal map display unit 134, and in this situation, the player is informed that the game ball should be launched so as to flow down the left side area PA2 instead of the right side area PA3. It becomes possible to recognize.

On the other hand, when the result of the open determination process in the current display continuation time is the open winning result (step S3101: YES), a short period is selected as the display continuation period of the current display continuation time in the fourth normal figure display unit 134. (Step S3103). The short period is set to a fixed 0.1 second.

As described above, when the 4th general electric device 161 is in the open execution state and a prize is generated for the 4th general electric device 161, the second normal is the same as when the 1st general electric device 121 is awarded. The drawing side hold information is held and stored. When the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored, the display continuation times of the second normal figure display unit 132 are executed, and when the display continuation times of the second normal figure display unit 132 are executed. The second general electric device 122 is in the open execution state, and the third general electric device 123 is held and stored based on the winning of the second general electric device 122, so that the third general electric device 123 is surely opened thereafter. It will be in the execution state. In other words, basically, the 1st Fuden opening lottery process is triggered by the 1st Fuzu side hold information acquired based on the winning of the 1st through winning section 160, and the 1st Fuden opening is won. 2 The general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123 shift to the jackpot state in which the open execution state is established, but the fourth general electric device 161 becomes the open execution state in the middle of the jackpot state and the fourth general electric device By holding and storing the second general drawing side hold information based on the winning of 161, the number of times that the second general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123 are in the open execution state in the jackpot state is increased. It becomes. In this configuration, the display duration of the display continuation times on the second normal figure display unit 132 is fixed at 0.2 seconds, and the display continuation period of the display continuation times on the third normal figure display unit 133 is 0.03 seconds. It is fixed to. In this case, the display continuation period of the fourth ordinary figure display unit 134 selected when the open winning result is obtained is set to a period shorter than the display continuation period of the second ordinary figure display unit 132. Even if the display continuation times of the 4th normal figure display unit 134 corresponding to the open winning result are executed at any timing of the jackpot state, a prize is generated in the 4th normal electric device 161 and the 2nd normal figure side is held. It is possible to generate a situation in which information is newly acquired at a timing close to a situation in which the second general electric device 122 or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state. Further, since the display continuation period of the fourth ordinary figure display unit 134 selected when the open winning result is obtained is set to a period longer than the display continuation period of the third ordinary figure display unit 133, the fourth It is possible to guarantee the period during which the display continuation times are executed in the normal map display unit 134 to some extent.

After selecting the short period, the short period selection command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3104). The short-term selection command is a command for causing the sound-light side MPU 92 to recognize that the fourth electric device 161 is in the open execution state. When the sound light side MPU 92 receives the short-term selection command in the jackpot state in which the second general electric device 122 or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state. So that the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64 perform an effect of making the player aware that the fourth general electric device 161 should win the game ball. To do.

The sound and light side MPU 92 can be used as a command to be transmitted by the main MPU 72 when the second normal drawing side hold information is acquired and a command to be transmitted by the main MPU 72 when the third normal drawing side hold information is acquired. Based on this, the number of the 2nd normal figure side reserved information and the number of the 3rd normal figure side reserved information are grasped, and the player recognizes the number of the 2nd normal figure side reserved information and the number of the 3rd normal figure side reserved information. The effect to be made possible may be configured to be executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. In this case, when the 4th normal electric device 161 is in the open execution state in the jackpot state and the 2nd normal drawing side hold information is acquired based on the winning of the 4th general electric device 161, the corresponding effect is a symbol. By executing the display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64, the number of times that the second general electric device 122 and the third general electric device 123 are in the open execution state in the current jackpot state has increased. The player can clearly recognize it. Further, the sound / light side MPU 92 executes the display continuation time based on the command transmitted by the main MPU 72 when the display continuation time in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is executed, and in the display continuation time. The effect corresponding to the result of the open determination process may be executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the fourth normal electric device 161 is in the open execution state in the jackpot state.

When any of the processes of step S3102 and step S3104 is executed, the information of the display duration selected in any of step S3102 and step S3104 is set in the fourth timer counter of the main RAM 74 (step S3105).

In the process of changing the fourth normal figure in step S2908, it is determined whether or not the timing is during the continuous display rotation and before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the fourth timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.05 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. Before the final display, a process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is executed. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is set to the display mode corresponding to the result of the opening determination process this time. After that, by adding 1 to the value of the 4th normal drawing counter, the value of the counter is changed from the one corresponding to the 4th normal figure changing process to the 4th normal figure finalizing process (step S2909). Update to.

In the process of confirming the fourth normal figure in step S2909, it is determined whether or not the confirmed display period (specifically, 0.05 seconds) of the current display continuation times has elapsed. When the fixed display period has elapsed, it is determined whether or not the result of the open determination process in the current display continuation time is the open winning result. If it is not the open winning result, after clearing the value of the 4th normal drawing counter to "0", the processing during the determination of the 4th normal figure is terminated. When the result is an open winning result, "3" is set as information on the number of times of opening and closing of the fourth electric power device 161 in the fourth general electric power opening counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, "10" is set as information on the upper limit of the number of winnings to the 4th ordinary electric device 161 in the current open execution state in the 4th ordinary electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74. Further, the information corresponding to 3 seconds is set in the 4th timer counter as the information of the open continuation period of the 4th electric power device 161. Further, the fourth normal electric device 161 is opened by starting the output of the drive signal to the fourth general electric drive unit 161b. After that, the 4th Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1. Since the value of the 4th normal power counter is "2" when the 4th normal power determination processing is executed, "3" corresponding to the 4th normal power open processing (step S2910) after 1 addition. ".

In the process of opening the 4th normal power in step S2910, when a prize is generated in the 4th normal power device 161, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the 4th normal power winning counter of the main RAM 74. To do. Then, when the value of the 4th normal power winning counter is "0", the value of the 4th normal power release counter is cleared to "0", the value of the 4th timer counter is cleared to "0", and the fourth is further. By stopping the output of the drive signal to the 4th normal electric drive unit 161b, the 4th normal electric accessory 161a is closed and the value of the 4th normal electric counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal figure normal power control process becomes the fourth normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2907). Further, even if the value of the 4th normal power winning counter is not "0", if the value of the 4th timer counter is "0", the drive signal is output to the 4th normal power driving unit 161b. By stopping the operation, the 4th utility accessory 161a is closed and the value of the 4th utility release counter of the main RAM 74 is subtracted by 1. Then, when the value of the 4th utility opening counter is not "0", after setting the numerical information of the closing duration (specifically, 1 second) of the 4th utility accessory 161a in the 4th timer counter. 4th Fuzu The value of the Fuden counter is updated from "3" to "4". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal power control process becomes the fourth normal power closed process (step S2911). When the value of the 4th normal power release counter is "0", the value of the 4th normal power counter is cleared to "0" without setting the value in the 4th timer counter. As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal figure normal power control process becomes the fourth normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2907).

In the process of closing the 4th normal power in step S2911, the output of the drive signal to the 4th normal power drive unit 161b is started on condition that the value of the 4th timer counter is "0". 4 Set the numerical information of the opening duration (specifically, 3 seconds) when the universal accessory 161a is set to the open state and the 4th utility accessory 161a is set to the open state once in the 4th timer counter. .. Then, the value of the 4th normal drawing counter is updated from "4" to "3". As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal power control process becomes the fourth normal power open processing (step S2910).

By executing the fourth normal drawing control process as described above, the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 performs variable display of the pattern, triggered by the occurrence of a prize in the second through winning unit 162. .. Then, when the open winning result is obtained in the open determination process, the 4th normal electric device 161 is put into the open execution state after the display continuation times in the 4th normal figure display unit 134 are completed. In the open execution state, the fourth general electric device 161 performs the open state for 3 seconds three times with a closing duration of 1 second in between. If the number of winning game balls to the 4th electric device 161 is 10 or more before the 3-second open state is performed three times, before the 3-second open state is performed three times. Even if there is, the open execution state this time is terminated.

In the fourth normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121, the second normal power device 122, or the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state, a positive determination is made in step S2901 to take a step. The adjustment process is executed in S2912. FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing the adjustment process.

In the adjustment process, if the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are the display continuation times (step S3201: YES), and if the display continuation times this time do not correspond to the open winning result (step S3202: NO), the fluctuation ends. The process is executed (step S3203). In the variable end processing, if the display mode of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is a stop result corresponding to the deviation result, the state is maintained, and if it is not the stop result corresponding to the deviation result, the stop result corresponding to the deviation result is maintained. And. Further, in the fluctuation end processing, the fourth timer counter is cleared to "0". As a result, the current display continuation time on the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is terminated in the middle with the stop result corresponding to the off result being displayed. The stop result corresponding to the disengagement result corresponds to the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the disengagement result read into the main RAM 74 in step S3005 of the fourth normal figure fluctuation start process (FIG. 48). After that, the value of the 4th normal drawing counter is cleared to "0" (step S3204). As a result, the process to be executed in the next processing time of the fourth normal figure normal power control process becomes the fourth normal figure fluctuation start process (step S2907).

When the display continuation times this time correspond to the open winning result (step S3202: YES), the fluctuation stop processing is executed (step S3205). In the fluctuation stop processing, the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are temporarily stopped in the state of the current display mode of the fourth normal figure display unit 134, and the update of the fourth timer counter is temporarily stopped. Further, in the variable stop processing, "1" is set in the fourth stop flag provided in the main RAM 74.

In the fourth normal diagram general control process, when a negative determination is made in step S2901 and "1" is set in the fourth stopped flag of the main RAM 74 (step S2902: YES), the fourth 4 Clear the stopped flag to "0" (step S2903). As a result, when the fourth normal figure display unit 134 is temporarily stopped in the middle of the display continuation times, the display continuation times are restarted and the update of the fourth timer counter is restarted.

As described above, in the fourth normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121, the second normal power device 122, or the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state, the fourth normal power device does not correspond to the open winning result. If the display continuation time of the display unit 134 is used, the display continuation time is terminated in the middle. As a result, the display continuation period of the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 corresponding to the disengagement result in order to suppress the firing operation of the game ball so as to flow down the right region PA3 in a situation other than the jackpot state. In the jackpot state, when the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the deviation result is dealt with. 4 It is possible to end the display continuation times of the normal drawing display unit 134 in the middle. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 corresponding to the off result in the jackpot state from being meaninglessly continued, and as a result, the fourth normal electric device 161 in the jackpot state. Can be increased in the open execution state.

On the other hand, in the fourth normal power control process, when the first normal power device 121, the second normal power device 122, or the third normal power device 123 is in the open execution state, the fourth normal power display corresponding to the open winning result is displayed. A process for temporarily stopping the display continuation times of the unit 134 is executed. As a result, when the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state, the display continuation times of the fourth general figure display unit 134 corresponding to the open winning result. Can be prevented from progressing. Therefore, the first general electric device 121, the second general electric device 122, or the third general electric device 123 is in the open execution state while preventing the right of the fourth general electric device 161 to be in the open execution state to be invalidated. In this case, it is possible to prevent the fourth electric power device 161 from being in the open execution state by overlapping with it.

<State of jackpot state>
Next, the state of the jackpot state will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. FIG. 51 (a) shows a period during which the display continuation times on the first general drawing display unit 131 are executed, and FIG. 51 (b) shows a period during which the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state. FIG. 51 (c) shows the timing at which the second normal drawing side hold information is acquired, and FIG. 51 (d) shows the period during which the display continuation times in the second normal drawing display unit 132 are executed. e) shows the period during which the second normal electric device 122 is in the open execution state, FIG. 51 (f) shows the timing when the third normal drawing side hold information is acquired, and FIG. 51 (g) shows the third. FIG. 51 (h) shows the period during which the display continuation times in the normal figure display unit 133 are executed, FIG. 51 (h) shows the period during which the third normal electric device 123 is in the open execution state, and FIG. 51 (i) shows the fourth. FIG. 51 (j) shows the period during which the display continuation times on the normal figure display unit 134 are executed, and FIG. 51 (j) shows the period during which the fourth normal electric device 161 is in the open execution state.

As shown in FIG. 51 (a), the display continuation times in the first normal drawing display unit 131 are performed from the timing of t1 to the timing of t2. Since this display continuation time corresponds to the first normal power opening winning, after the display continuous time is completed, as shown in FIG. 51 (b), the first power supply device 121 extends from the timing of t2 to the timing of t7. Is in the open execution state. When the first general electric device 121 is in the open execution state, the player changes the launch operation in which the game ball flows down in the left area PA2 to the launch operation in which the game ball flows down in the right area PA3. To do. As a result, it is possible to win a prize in the first general electric device 121. Then, as shown in FIG. 51 (c), the second normal drawing side hold information is acquired and held and stored at each of the timing of t3, the timing of t4, the timing of t5, and the timing of t6 in the middle of the open execution state. Will be done. Since the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 are not started in the open execution state of the first normal electric device 121, the second normal figure display unit is stored even if the second normal figure side hold information is held and stored. The display continuation times in 132 are not started.

After that, when the open execution state of the first general electric device 121 ends at the timing of t7, the display continuation times in the second general drawing display unit 132 are started at the timing of t7 as shown in FIG. 51 (d). , The display continuation time is executed until the timing of t9. At the timing of t7, as shown in FIG. 51 (a), the display continuation times on the first normal drawing display unit 131 are also started. Further, in this situation, since the firing operation is performed so that the game ball flows down the right side region PA3, a prize is generated in the second through winning unit 162, and as shown in FIG. 51 (i), at the timing of t8. The display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 are started. The display continuation times are not the result of the open winning in the open judgment process.

After that, at the timing of t9, as shown in FIG. 51 (d), the display continuation times in the second general drawing display unit 132 are completed, and as shown in FIG. 51 (e), the second general electric device 122 is opened. It becomes a state. In this case, the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 that does not correspond to the open winning result are terminated in the middle at the timing of t9 as shown in FIG. 51 (i). Further, at the timing of the t9, as shown in FIG.

The open execution state of the second general electric device 122 started at the timing of t9 is executed until the timing of t14 as shown in FIG. 51 (e). Then, as shown in FIG. 51 (f), the hold information on the third normal drawing side is acquired and stored in the hold at each of the timing of t10, the timing of t11, the timing of t12, and the timing of t13, which are in the middle of the open execution state. Will be done. In addition, since the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 are not started in the open execution state of the second normal power device 122, even if the hold information on the third normal figure side is held and stored, the third normal figure display unit is stored. The display continuation times in 133 are not started.

After that, when the open execution state of the second normal electric device 122 ends at the timing of t14, the display continuation times in the first general drawing display unit 131 are restarted at the timing of t14 as shown in FIG. 51 (a). , As shown in FIG. 51 (d), the display continuation times in the second normal figure display unit 132 are started, and as shown in FIG. 51 (g), the display continuation times in the third normal figure display unit 133 are started. Then, at the timing of t15, as shown in FIG. 51 (g), the display continuation times in the third general drawing display unit 133 are completed first, so that the third general electric device 123 is shown in FIG. 51 (h). It will be in the open execution state. In this case, at the timing of t15, the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 are temporarily stopped as shown in FIG. 51 (a), and the second normal figure display unit is temporarily stopped as shown in FIG. 51 (d). The display continuation times in 132 are temporarily stopped.

The open execution state of the third general electric device 123 started at the timing of t15 ends at the timing of t16 as shown in FIG. 51 (h). As a result, at the timing of t16, the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 are restarted as shown in FIG. 51 (a), and the display in the second normal figure display unit 132 is restarted as shown in FIG. 51 (d). The continuous times are restarted, and as shown in FIG. 51 (g), the continuous display times on the third normal drawing display unit 133 are started. Then, at the timing of t17, as shown in FIG. 51 (g), the display continuation times in the third general drawing display unit 133 are completed first, so that the third general electric device 123 is shown in FIG. 51 (h). It will be in the open execution state. In this case, at the timing of t17, the display continuation times in the first normal figure display unit 131 are temporarily stopped as shown in FIG. 51 (a), and the second normal figure display unit is temporarily stopped as shown in FIG. 51 (d). The display continuation times in 132 are temporarily stopped.

After that, by repeating the above operation, the jackpot state progresses and the number of reserved information on the second normal drawing side becomes 0, and then the timing of t18 to the timing of t19 is shown in FIG. 51 (g). As shown in FIG. 51 (i), the display continuation times in the third ordinary figure display unit 133 are started, and the display continuation times in the fourth ordinary figure display unit 134 are started as shown in FIG. 51 (i). It should be noted that the display continuation times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134 correspond to the open winning result. Then, at the timing of t19, as shown in FIG. 51 (g), the display continuation times in the third general diagram display unit 133 are completed, and at the timing of t19, the third general electric power is displayed as shown in FIG. 51 (h). The device 123 is in the open execution state. In this case, at the timing of t19, as shown in FIG. 51 (i), the display continuation times in the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 corresponding to the open winning result are temporarily stopped.

After that, the open execution state of the third general electric device 123 ends at the timing of t20. As a result, as shown in FIG. 51 (i), the display continuation times in the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 corresponding to the open winning result are restarted at the timing of the t20. Then, when the display continuation times in the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 are completed at the timing of t21, as shown in FIG. 51 (j), the fourth normal electric device 161 extends from the timing of t21 to the timing of t26. It will be in the open execution state. Then, as shown in FIG. 51 (c), the second general drawing side hold information is acquired and held and stored at each of the timing of t22, the timing of t23, the timing of t24, and the timing of t25, which are in the middle of the open execution state. Will be done. As a result, the opportunity for the second electric power device 122 to be in the open execution state is given again.

According to the present embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

When the open execution state of any of the first normal electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123 is started in the middle of the display continuous times in the fourth normal figure display unit 134, the display continuous times are subsequently the fourth normal. If it corresponds to the fact that the open execution state of the electric device 161 does not occur, the display continuation time is terminated as it is. As a result, the display continuation times of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134, which does not lead to the occurrence of the opening execution state of the fourth general power device 161, is the opening execution of any one of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123. It is possible to terminate the process when a state occurs, and while giving priority to the generation of the open execution state of any of the first normal power device 121 to the third normal power device 123, the display continuous times of the fourth normal power display unit 134 are digested. It is possible to increase efficiency. On the other hand, when the display continuation times correspond to the subsequent occurrence of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161, the generation timing of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161 is delayed. As a result, while giving priority to the occurrence of the open execution state of any of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123, the benefit of the occurrence of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161 is not lost. It becomes possible to do so.

In the middle of the continuous display rotation of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 corresponding to the occurrence of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161, any of the open execution states of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123 is changed. When it is started, the progress of the display continuation times is stopped, and then the progress of the display continuation times is restarted when the open execution state of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123 is completed. It is a composition. As a result, it is possible to obtain the above-mentioned excellent effect only by temporarily stopping and canceling the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134.

Even if a prize is generated in the second through winning unit 162 in a situation where the display continuation times of the fourth ordinary drawing display unit 134 cannot be started, the holding information on the fourth ordinary drawing side is not acquired. That is, the fourth general drawing side hold information is not stored on hold. As a result, in a situation where the display continuation times of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 are not executed, any of the first normal electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123 is opened, and the second through winning is further won. Even if a prize is generated in the section 162, it is not necessary to acquire the 4th ordinary drawing side holding information in response to the occurrence of the winning, and it is necessary to perform a process such as deleting the 4th ordinary drawing side reserved information once acquired. Does not occur.

The display continuation period of the display continuation times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134 corresponding to the occurrence of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161 does not correspond to the occurrence of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161. It is shorter than the display continuation period of the display continuation times of the figure display unit 134. As a result, it is possible to shorten the period required from the start of the continuous display rotation of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134 to the start of the open execution state of the fourth normal power device 161. In this case, the display continuation times of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134, which does not correspond to the occurrence of the opening execution state of the fourth general electric device 161, is the opening execution of any one of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123. Terminated when a condition occurs. As a result, it is possible to improve the digestion efficiency of the continuous display times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134.

The second through winning unit 162 and the fourth general electric device 161 are provided in the right area PA3 together with the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123, but the second through is provided even if it is not in the jackpot state. When the winning unit 162 can be won and the second through winning unit 162 is won, the open execution state of the fourth electric device 161 may occur. On the other hand, the display continuation period of the display continuation times of the fourth general drawing display unit 134, which does not correspond to the occurrence of the open execution state of the fourth general electric device 161 is set long. As a result, it is possible to reduce the game efficiency when aiming to win the second through winning unit 162 in a state other than the jackpot state. In this case, the display continuation times of the fourth normal drawing display unit 134, which does not correspond to the occurrence of the opening execution state of the fourth general electric device 161, is the opening execution of any one of the first general electric device 121 to the third general electric device 123. Terminated when a condition occurs. As a result, in the jackpot state, it is possible to improve the digestion efficiency of the continuous display times of the fourth normal figure display unit 134.

When the 1st Fuden opening lottery process executed based on the winning of the 1st thru winning section 160 wins the 1st Fuden opening, the 1st Fuden device 121 is in the open execution state, and the 1st Fuden is opened. While the second general drawing side hold information that triggers the occurrence of the open execution state of the second general electric device 122 is acquired based on the winning of the device 121, it is executed based on the winning of the second through winning unit 162. By winning the 4th Fuden opening lottery in the 4th Fuden opening lottery process, the 4th Fuden device 161 is in the open execution state, and the 2nd Fuzu side is put on hold based on the winning of the 4th Fuden device 161. Information is acquired. As a result, the player expects that the fourth general electric device 161 is in the open execution state.

<Another form of the eleventh embodiment>
(1) When the launching operation of the game ball is performed so as to flow down the right side region PA3 in a situation where the jackpot state is not obtained, the corresponding notification may be performed. Specifically, when a game ball enters the second through winning unit 162 in the jackpot state, at least one of the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64 is used to determine the right side region. A notification is made so that the player can recognize that the firing of the game ball toward the PA3 is stopped.

Then, as shown in FIG. 53 (c), a prize is generated for the predetermined general electric device 172 at the timing of t9 in the middle of the state where the predetermined general electric device 172 is in the open state. When a prize is generated in the predetermined electric device 172, the first non-electric device 173 is opened at the timing of t9 as shown in FIG. 53 (d). In this case, the occurrence of winning the first non-electric device 173 is delayed due to the clogging of the game ball in the upper plate 65a, and finally the first as shown in FIG. 53 (e) at the timing of t11. A prize is generated for the non-electric device 173.

When a prize is generated for the first non-electric device 173, the first non-electric device 173 changes from the open state to the closed state at the timing of t11 as shown in FIG. 53 (d), and FIG. 53 (f) shows. As shown in the above, the second non-electric device 177 changes from the closed state to the open state. In this case, the occurrence of winning the second non-electric device 177 is delayed due to the occurrence of clogging of the game ball in the upper plate 65a again. Then, as shown in FIG. 53 (b), the next opening times of the predetermined general electric device 172 are started at the timing of t12 in which the second non-electric device 177 is still in the open state. That is, in this situation, both the predetermined electric device 172 and the second non-electric device 177 are in the open state. Since the predetermined general electric device 172 is provided on the upstream side of the second non-electric device 177 in the right region PA3, the predetermined general electric device 172 is more likely to win a prize than the second non-electric device 177. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 53 (c), at the timing of t13, a prize is generated in the predetermined general electric device 172 before the second non-electric device 177.

When a prize is generated in the predetermined electric device 172, the first non-electric device 173 is opened at the timing of t13 as shown in FIG. 53 (d). That is, in this situation, each of the predetermined general electric device 172, the first non-electric device 173, and the second non-electric device 177 is in an open state. After that, at the timing of t14, the predetermined electric device 172 is closed as shown in FIG. 53 (b). In this situation, both the first non-electric device 173 and the second non-electric device 177 are in the open state. Since the first non-electric device 173 is provided on the upstream side of the second non-electric device 177 in the right region PA3, the first non-electric device 173 is more likely to win a prize than the second non-electric device 177. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 53 (e), a prize is generated in the first non-electric device 173 before the second non-electric device 177 at the timing of t15.

When a prize is generated for the first non-electric device 173, the first non-electric device 173 is closed as shown in FIG. 53 (d) at the timing of t15. However, since the second non-electric device 177 is already in the open state, the open state of the second non-electric device 177 is maintained even if a prize is generated for the first non-electric device 173.

After that, as shown in FIG. 53 (g), a prize is generated in the second non-electric device 177 at the timing of t16. When a prize is generated for the second non-electric device 177, the second non-electric device 177 changes from the open state to the closed state at the timing of t16 as shown in FIG. 53 (f), and FIG. 53 (h) shows. As shown in the above, the third non-electric device 179 changes from the closed state to the open state. Then, at the timing of t17, as shown in FIG. 53 (i), a prize is generated in the third non-electric device 179. When a prize is generated for the third non-electric device 179, the third non-electric device 179 changes from the open state to the closed state at the timing of t17, as shown in FIG. 53 (h).

As described above, the predetermined general electric device 172 → the first non-electric device 173 → the second non-electric device 177 → the third non-electric device 179. When a new prize is generated, the one cycle being executed is substantially ended in the middle. Then, the number of game balls to be paid out to the player will be reduced by that amount. In the present embodiment, a configuration for suppressing the occurrence of such inconvenience is adopted. The configuration will be described later.

<Fuzu Fuden control processing>
Next, the Fuzu Fuden control process executed by the main MPU 72 will be described. In the normal drawing control process, the execution control of the display continuation times in the predetermined normal drawing display unit 182 and the execution control of the open execution state of the predetermined normal power device 172 are performed. FIG. 54 is a flowchart showing a general-purpose electric power control process according to the present embodiment.

When a prize has been generated in the predetermined through winning unit 171 (step S3301: YES), the number of predetermined normal drawing side reserved information stored in the predetermined normal drawing holding area is less than four, which is the upper limit. (Step S3302: NO), the storage process in the predetermined normal figure holding area is executed (step S3303). The processing content of the storage process is the same as the storage process (step S1103) of the first normal figure general control process (FIG. 24) in the first normal figure holding area in the fourth embodiment.

When a negative determination is made in step S3301, an affirmative determination is made in step S3302, or the process of step S3303 is executed, the normal drawing address table stored in the main ROM 73 is read out (step S3304). .. In the Fuzu Fuden address table, the start address of the program for executing the process corresponding to the numerical information of the Fuzu Fuden counter is set. The Fuzu Fuden counter is a counter for specifying the processing content to be executed in the Fuzu Fuden control process on the main MPU 72.

The Fuzu Fuden counter can take values from "0" to "4", and each value from "0" to "4" corresponds to the start addresses NA0 to NA4 of each process (step S3307 to step S3311). doing. Specifically, when the value of the normal map normal power counter is "0", the normal figure fluctuation start process (step S3307), which is a process for starting the display continuation times in the predetermined normal figure display unit 182, is executed. When the value of the normal-figure counter is "1", the normal-figure variable processing (step S3308), which is a process for advancing the display continuation times in the predetermined normal-figure display unit 182, is the target to be executed. , When the value of the normal map normal power counter is "2", the normal figure finalizing process (step S3309), which is a process for ending the display continuation times in the predetermined normal figure display unit 182, is executed. When the value of the normal power counter is "3", the normal power opening process (step S3310), which is a process for controlling the open state of the predetermined normal power device 172, is executed, and the normal power counter is executed. When the value of is "4", the processing during closing of the normal power (step S3311), which is the processing for controlling the closed state of the predetermined normal power device 172, is the execution target.

In the Fuzu Fuden control process, after reading the Fuzu Fuden address table (step S3304), the start address corresponding to the information of the Fuzu Fuden counter is acquired from the Fuzu Fuden address table (step S3305). , Jumps to the process indicated by the acquired start address (step S3306). Hereinafter, each process of steps S3307 to S3311 will be described individually.

<Public map fluctuation start processing>
First, the normal map fluctuation start process in step S3307 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 55.

In the normal map fluctuation start process, the data setting process is executed on condition that the predetermined normal map side hold information is stored (step S3401: YES) (step S3402). The processing content of the data setting process is the same as the data setting process (step S702) of the normal map fluctuation start process (FIG. 16) in the first embodiment. As a result, the predetermined normal map side hold information stored in the first area of the predetermined normal map reservation area is shifted to the execution area for the normal map in the predetermined normal map reservation area.

After executing the data setting process, the open determination process is executed (step S3403). In the open determination process, the open determination table is read from the main ROM 73, and the read open determination table is subjected to the general electric random number counter C11 in the predetermined general map side hold information for which the current open determination process is executed. Collate the numerical information of. In this case, there is a 1/100 chance that the winning result will be open.

When the result of the open determination process is the open winning result (step S3404: YES), the stop result setting process for the open winning result is executed (step S3405). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the open winning result to be finally stopped and displayed in the current display continuation times on the predetermined normal figure display unit 182 is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. It should be noted that one type of stop mode may be set for the open winning result, or a plurality of types of stop modes for the open winning result may be set.

When the result of the open determination process is not the open winning result (step S3404: NO), the stop result setting process for the disengagement result is executed (step S3406). Specifically, the information on the stop mode of the pattern for the disengagement result to be finally stopped and displayed on the predetermined normal figure display unit 182 at the current display continuation time is read from the main ROM 73 and stored in the main RAM 74. The information on the mode of the pattern selected in this case is different from the information on the mode of the pattern selected in the case of the open winning result.

After executing any of the stop result setting processes, the specific process of the normal map fluctuation period is executed (step S3407). In the specific process, it is first determined whether or not the display continuation times this time correspond to the occurrence of the reach effect. Specifically, if the display continuation times this time correspond to the open winning result, it is determined that the reach effect will occur. Further, even if the display continuation times this time do not correspond to the open winning result, the value of the reach random number counter C12 (see FIG. 23) is acquired, and the value of the acquired reach random number counter C12 causes the reach to occur. If it is the corresponding numerical information, it is determined that the reach effect is generated. When it is determined that the reach effect is generated, the reach generation table is read from the main ROM 73, and the current numerical information of the variation type counter C14 (see FIG. 23) is collated with the read reach generation table. The display duration is determined, and the determined display duration information is set in the timer counter provided in the main RAM 74. When it is determined that the reach effect does not occur, the non-reach table is read from the main ROM 73, and the current numerical information of the variation type counter C14 (see FIG. 23) is obtained for the read non-reach table. The display continuation period is determined by collating the combination of the number of current predetermined display continuation information, and the determined display continuation period information is set in the timer counter provided in the main RAM 74. When the reach generation table is referenced, the display duration corresponding to the value of the variation type counter C14 is selected regardless of the number of reserved information on the predetermined normal map side, whereas the reach non-generation table is referenced. In this case, the shorter the display duration is selected as the number of reserved information on the predetermined normal map side increases. The update of the numerical information set in the timer counter is executed in the timer update process of step S210 in the timer interrupt process (FIG. 11). By the way, the display continuation period that can be selected when the predetermined normal map side hold information triggers the start of the display continuation times is 1 second to 180 seconds.

After that, the fluctuation start command corresponding to the result of the open determination process and the information of the determined display duration is read from the main ROM 73 and transmitted to the sound / light side MPU 92 (step S3408). The sound / light side MPU 92 executes control so that the effect of continuous display rotation corresponding to the received fluctuation start command is executed by the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. In addition, in the symbol display device 51, the same effect as the effect for the game times in the first embodiment is executed as the effect for the continuous display times.

After that, the variable display of the pattern on the predetermined normal map display unit 182 is started (step S3409). A variable display table for normal drawings is stored in advance in the main ROM 73 as a table to be referred to by the main MPU 72 when the predetermined normal drawing display unit 182 causes the variable display of the pattern to be displayed. When the variation display of the pattern is executed in the predetermined normal map display unit 182, the same variation display table is used regardless of the result of the opening determination process. When the variable display of the pattern is performed on the predetermined normal map display unit 182, the variable display of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern is repeated, but the variable display table for the regular figure shows the variable display of the pattern according to the predetermined pattern. The control data for one lap in is set. Therefore, when the predetermined normal map display unit 182 performs the variable display of the pattern, the variable display table for the normal map is repeatedly used until immediately before the final display is performed.

After that, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1 (step S3410). Since the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is "0" when the Fuzu fluctuation start processing is executed, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is changed to the Fuzu fluctuation processing (step S3308) by adding 1. It becomes the corresponding "1".

<Processing during fluctuation of general map>
Next, the processing during the fluctuation of the normal map in step S3308 in the normal drawing control process (FIG. 54) will be described.

In the normal map fluctuation processing, it is determined whether or not the display is being continuously rotated and the timing is before the final display. Specifically, when the value of the timer counter measuring the display continuation period of the current display continuation times is 0.4 seconds remaining, it is determined that the timing is before the final display. Before the final display, a process for regularly changing the display mode of the pattern on the predetermined normal map display unit 182 is executed. This regular change continues until it is time to start the final display. Further, this regular change is performed in a certain manner regardless of whether or not the opening determination process is performed. In addition, when it is time to confirm the display, the display mode of the pattern on the predetermined normal map display unit 182 is set to the display mode corresponding to the determination result of the opening determination process this time. Then, by adding 1 to the value of the normal map normal electric counter, the value of the counter is updated from the one corresponding to the normal figure changing process to the one corresponding to the normal figure finalizing process (step S3309).

<Processing during confirmation of general map>
Next, the process during determination of the normal figure in step S3309 in the normal figure general control process (FIG. 54) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 56.

By determining whether or not the value of the timer counter that measures the display continuation period of the current display continuation time is "0", the final display period of the current display continuation time (specifically, 0. It is determined whether or not 4 seconds) has elapsed (step S3501). When the confirmed display period has elapsed (step S3501: YES), it is determined whether or not the result of the open determination process in the current display continuation time is the open winning result (step S3502). If it is not the open winning result (step S3502: NO), after clearing the value of the normal drawing counter to "0" (step S3503), the processing during confirmation of the normal drawing is terminated. As a result, in the next Fuzu Fuden control process (FIG. 54), the Fuzu variation start process (step S3307) becomes the execution target.

When the result is an open winning result (step S3502: YES), "20" is set as information on the number of times of opening / closing of the predetermined general electric device 172 in the ordinary electric opening counter provided in the main RAM 74 (step S3504). Further, "10" is set in the general electric winning counter provided in the main RAM 74 as information on the maximum number of winnings to the predetermined general electric device 172 in the open execution state this time (step S3505). In addition, information corresponding to 0.3 seconds is set in the timer counter as information on the open continuation period of the predetermined electric device 172 (step S3506). Since the firing cycle of the game balls is 0.6 seconds, the number of game balls that can win a prize in the predetermined power device 172 is about one in one opening time of the predetermined power device 172.

Further, the predetermined general electric device 172 is opened in the open state by starting the output of the drive signal to the predetermined general electric drive unit 172b (step S3507). Further, a normal power start command indicating that the open execution state of the predetermined normal power device 172 has been started is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3508). By receiving the normal power start command, the sound light side MPU 92 makes the player aware that the open execution state of the predetermined normal power device 172 has been started. The symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the display light emitting unit 63 It is started by the speaker unit 64.

After that, the Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1. In this case, since the value of the normal drawing counter is "2" when the normal drawing finalizing process is executed, it becomes "3" corresponding to the normal drawing opening process (step S3310) after 1 addition. ..

<Processing while the public train is open>
Next, the process during the opening of the normal power in step S3310 in the normal power control process (FIG. 54) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 57.

When a prize has been generated in the predetermined general electric device 172 (step S3601: YES), the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the general electric prize counter of the main RAM 74 (step S3602). If the value of the Fuden winning counter becomes "0", no further subtraction is performed. In addition, a general electric winning command in which information corresponding to the current number of winnings to the predetermined general electric device 172 is set is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3603). By receiving the general electric winning command, the sound light side MPU 92 grasps the number of winnings this time to the predetermined general electric device 172, and the corresponding effect is applied to the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. To be executed.

When the value of the normal power winning counter after subtraction is "0" (step S3604: YES), the predetermined normal power device 172 is closed by stopping the output of the drive signal to the predetermined normal power drive unit 172b. (Step S3605). After that, the value of the normal power release counter of the main RAM 74 is cleared to "0" (step S3606). In addition, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0" (step S3607). As a result, in the next Fuzu Fuden control process (FIG. 54), the Fuzu variation start process (step S3307) becomes the execution target. After that, the normal power end command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3608). By receiving the general electric power end command, the sound light side MPU 92 makes it possible for the player to recognize that the open execution state of the predetermined general electric power device 172 has ended. It is executed in the part 64.

When a negative determination is made in step S3601 or a negative determination is made in step S3604, this predetermined normal power is determined by determining whether or not the value of the timer counter of the main RAM 74 is "0". It is determined whether or not the open continuation period in the open times of the device 172 has elapsed (step S3609). If an affirmative determination is made in step S3609, the predetermined general electric device 172 is closed by stopping the output of the drive signal to the predetermined general electric drive unit 172b (step S3610).

After that, the value of the normal power release counter of the main RAM 74 is subtracted by 1 (step S3611), and it is determined whether or not the value of the normal power release counter after the subtraction is "0" (step S3612). If an affirmative determination is made in step S3612, the value of the general electric winning counter of the main RAM 74 is cleared to "0" (step S3613). In addition, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0" (step S3614). As a result, in the next Fuzu Fuden control process (FIG. 54), the Fuzu variation start process (step S3307) becomes the execution target. After that, the normal power end command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3615). By receiving the general electric power end command, the sound light side MPU 92 makes it possible for the player to recognize that the open execution state of the predetermined general electric power device 172 has ended. The symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker are produced. It is executed in the part 64.

On the other hand, when a negative determination is made in step S3612, information corresponding to 2 seconds is set in the timer counter of the main RAM 74 as information on the closing duration of the predetermined electric device 172 (step S3616). The closing duration of 2 seconds is longer than 3 times the firing cycle of the game ball. When the launching operation of the game ball is continued so as to flow down the right area PA3, the first non-electric device 173 is opened and the first non-electric device 173 is opened after a prize is generated in the predetermined general electric device 172. The second non-electric device 177 is opened when a prize is generated, and the third non-electric device 179 is opened when a prize is generated for the second non-electric device 177, and the third non-electric device 179 is opened. The period is slightly longer than the shortest period assumed as the period required for the device 179 to win a prize. Therefore, in the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172, the first non-electricity is generated from the end of one open turn of the predetermined general electric device 172 to the start of the next open turn of the predetermined general electric device 172. Each prize may or may not be completed in the order of device 173 → second non-electric device 177 → third non-electric device 179.

After that, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is added by 1 (step S3617). As a result, in the next normal power control process (FIG. 54), the normal power closing process (step S3311) becomes the execution target. After that, a general electric closing command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3618). By receiving the general electric power closing command, the sound light side MPU 92 grasps that the closing continuous period of the predetermined general electric power device 172 has started, and the corresponding effects are the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker. It is executed in the part 64.

<Processing while the public train is closed>
Next, the process during closing of the normal power in step S3311 in the normal power control process (FIG. 54) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 58.

If a prize is generated for the predetermined utility device 172 immediately before the predetermined utility device 172 is closed, it is specified that a prize is generated for the predetermined utility device 172 during the processing during the closure of the predetermined utility device. Will be done. Therefore, when a prize is generated in the predetermined general electric device 172 (step S3701: YES), the value corresponding to the number of winnings is subtracted from the value of the general electric prize counter of the main RAM 74 (step S3702). If the value of the Fuden winning counter becomes "0", no further subtraction is performed. In addition, a general electric winning command in which information corresponding to the current number of winnings to the predetermined general electric device 172 is set is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3703). By receiving the general electric winning command, the sound light side MPU 92 grasps the number of winnings this time to the predetermined general electric device 172, and the corresponding effect is applied to the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64. To be executed.

When the value of the general power winning counter after subtraction is "0" (step S3704: YES), the value of the general power release counter of the main RAM 74 is cleared to "0" (step S3705). In addition, the value of the Fuzu Fuden counter is cleared to "0" (step S3706). As a result, in the next Fuzu Fuden control process (FIG. 54), the Fuzu variation start process (step S3307) becomes the execution target. After that, the normal power end command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3707). By receiving the general electric power end command, the sound light side MPU 92 makes it possible for the player to recognize that the open execution state of the predetermined general electric power device 172 has ended. The symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker are produced. It is executed in the part 64.

When a negative determination is made in step S3701 or a negative determination is made in step S3704, this predetermined normal power is determined by determining whether or not the value of the timer counter of the main RAM 74 is "0". It is determined whether or not the closing duration of the closing times of the device 172 has elapsed (step S3708). If an affirmative determination is made in step S3708, information corresponding to 0.3 seconds is set in the timer counter of the main RAM 74 as information on the open continuation period of the predetermined electric device 172 (step S3709). Then, by starting the output of the drive signal to the predetermined general electric drive unit 172b, the predetermined general electric device 172 is opened (step S3710).

After that, the Fuzu Fuden counter is subtracted by 1 (step S3711). In this case, since the value of the normal power counter is "4" when the normal power closing process is executed, it becomes "3" corresponding to the normal power opening processing (step S3310) after 1 subtraction. .. After that, the general power release command is transmitted to the sound light side MPU 92 (step S3712). By receiving the general power release command, the sound light side MPU 92 grasps that a new opening time of the predetermined normal power device 172 has been started, and the corresponding effects are the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and It is executed by the speaker unit 64.

<Telegram notification processing>
Next, the telegram notification process executed by the sound-light side MPU 92 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 59. The telegram notification process is repeatedly activated in the sound light side MPU 92 at a relatively short cycle (for example, 4 milliseconds).

When the general telegram start command is received from the main MPU 72 (step S3801: YES), the general telegram notification start process is executed (step S3802). In the start processing of the telegram notification, the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64 execute an effect of making the player recognizable that the open execution state of the predetermined telegram device 172 is started. Execute the process to make it.

In this case, the sound light side MPU 92 transmits a normal power start command to the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. Upon receiving the general power start command, the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 ends the maximum number of winnings in the predetermined general power device 172, which is a condition for ending the current open execution state, and the current open execution state. The symbol display device 51 displays an image that allows the player to recognize the upper limit of the number of times the predetermined general electric device 172 is opened, which is a condition for the player.

FIG. 60A is an explanatory diagram for explaining the content of the image. As shown in FIG. 60A, the symbol display device 51 includes an image G1 indicating that the predetermined general electric device 172 is in the open execution state, and an image G2 indicating the number of remaining winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172. , Image G3 showing the remaining number of times of opening of the predetermined general electric device 172 is displayed. As a result, the player not only recognizes that the predetermined general electric device 172 is in the open execution state, but also the remaining number of winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172 in the current open execution state and the predetermined general electric device 172. It becomes possible to clearly recognize the remaining number of times of opening. When the opening execution state of the predetermined power device 172 is started, the first opening time of the predetermined power device 172 is started, so that the image G3 showing the remaining number of times the predetermined power device 172 is opened is used. , The image corresponding to "19" instead of "20" is displayed. In the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172, the opening effect may be executed over the opening period before the first opening times of the predetermined general electric device 172 are started. In this case, in the opening period, "20" is displayed as the image G3 indicating the remaining number of times of opening of the predetermined power device 172, and when the first opening time of the predetermined power device 172 is started, the image G3 is "20". 19 ”may be displayed.

Returning to the description of the general telegram notification process (FIG. 59), when the general telegram prize command is received from the main MPU 72 (step S3803: YES), the update process of the remaining prize number notification is executed (step S3804). In the update process, a value subtracted by a number corresponding to the number of winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172 is displayed as an image G2 showing the remaining number of winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172.

When the general electric power closing command is received from the main MPU 72 (step S3805: YES), the closing period notification start processing is executed (step S3806). In the closing period notification start process, the sound-light side MPU 92 transmits a general electric closing command to the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. The MPU 102 of the display control device 100 displays an image on the symbol display device 51 that allows the player to recognize the remaining closing duration of the predetermined normal power device 172 at the current closing time by receiving the general power closing command. Let me.

FIG. 60B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the content of the image. As shown in FIG. 60B, the symbol display device 51 includes an image G1 indicating that the predetermined general electric device 172 is in the open execution state, an image G2 indicating the number of remaining winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172, and an image G2. Not only the image G3 showing the remaining number of times the predetermined electric device 172 is opened, but also the image G4 showing the remaining closing duration in the current closing time is displayed. As the image G4 showing the remaining closing duration, a meter display in which the length of the band display with respect to the frame display becomes shorter with the passage of time is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a time countdown display is performed. May be configured, or the time count-up display may be performed.

Returning to the explanation of the telegram notification process (FIG. 59), in the situation where the image G4 indicating the closure continuation period is displayed (step S3807: YES), is it the update timing of the image G4 indicating the closure continuation period? It is determined whether or not (step S3808). Specifically, the update timing is set every 0.1 seconds. When the update timing is reached (step S3808: YES), the closing period notification update process is executed (step S3809). In the update process, an update command is transmitted to the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. Upon receiving the update command, the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 updates the display content of the image G4 indicating the remaining closure duration of the symbol display device 51 to the display content corresponding to the elapse of 0.1 seconds. ..

When the general power release command is received from the main MPU 72 (step S3810: YES), the update process of the remaining release count notification is executed (step S3811). In the update process, the value subtracted by 1 is displayed as an image G3 indicating the remaining number of times the predetermined electric device 172 is opened. In addition, the closing process of the closing period notification is executed (step S3812). As a result, the display of the image G4 indicating the remaining closing duration on the symbol display device 51 is terminated.

When the general telegram end command is received from the main MPU 72 (step S3813: YES), the general telegram notification end process is executed (step S3814). In the termination process of the telegram notification, the symbol display device 51, the display light emitting unit 63, and the speaker unit 64 execute an effect that allows the player to recognize that the open execution state of the predetermined telegram device 172 ends. Execute the process to make it. In this case, the sound-light side MPU 92 transmits a normal power end command to the MPU 102 of the display control device 100. By receiving the general electric power end command, the MPU 102 of the display control device 100 ends the display of each of the above images G1 to G3 corresponding to the open execution state of the predetermined general electric power device 172, and enters the normal gaming state. The display of the corresponding image is restarted on the symbol display device 51.

<Action by executing telegram notification>
Next, the operation of executing the telegram notification on the symbol display device 51 will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. FIG. 61 (a) shows a period during which the display continuation times on the predetermined normal figure display unit 182 are executed, and FIG. 61 (b) shows a period during which the predetermined normal electric device 172 is in the open state. c) shows the timing at which a prize is generated in the predetermined electric device 172, FIG. 61 (d) shows the period during which the first non-electric device 173 is in the open state, and FIG. 61 (e) shows the first non-electric device. The timing at which the prize is generated in the electric device 173 is shown, FIG. 61 (f) shows the period during which the second non-electric device 177 is in the open state, and FIG. 61 (g) shows the period in which the second non-electric device 177 is in the open state. FIG. 61 (h) shows the period when the third non-electric device 179 is in the open state, and FIG. 61 (i) shows the timing when the third non-electric device 179 is won. Is shown.

When a prize is generated in the predetermined through winning unit 171, the display continuation times in the predetermined normal drawing display unit 182 are performed from the timing of t1 to the timing of t2 as shown in FIG. 61 (a). Since this display continuation time corresponds to the occurrence of the open execution state of the predetermined power device 172, it is predetermined from the timing of t2 to the timing of t4 as shown in FIG. 61B after the display continuation time is completed. The general electric device 172 is opened. When the predetermined general electric device 172 is opened, the player changes the firing operation in which the game ball flows down the left side area PA2 to the firing operation in which the game ball flows down in the right side area PA3. As a result, it is possible to win a prize in the predetermined electric device 172. Further, at the timing of t2, the image G1 showing that the predetermined general electric device 172 is in the open execution state in the symbol display device 51, the image G2 showing the remaining number of winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172, and the predetermined general electric device 172. The display of the image G3 (see FIG. 60A) showing the remaining number of times of opening of the image G3 is started.

As shown in FIG. 61 (c), a prize is generated for the predetermined general electric device 172 at the timing of t3 in the middle of the state where the predetermined general electric device 172 is in the open state. When a prize is generated in the predetermined electric device 172, the first non-electric device 173 is opened at the timing of t3 as shown in FIG. 61 (d). After that, at the timing of t4, the predetermined electric device 172 is closed as shown in FIG. 61 (b). In this case, the symbol display device 51 starts displaying the image G4 (see FIG. 60B) showing the remaining closing duration in the current closing time. As a result, the player can grasp the remaining period until the predetermined electric device 172 is opened next.

After that, the generation of winning a prize in the first non-electric device 173 is delayed due to the clogging of the game ball in the upper plate 65a, and finally the first non-electric device is finally shown at the timing of t5 as shown in FIG. 61 (e). A prize is generated for the device 173. When a prize is generated for the first non-electric device 173, the first non-electric device 173 changes from the open state to the closed state at the timing of t5 as shown in FIG. 61 (d), and FIG. 61 (f) shows. As shown in the above, the second non-electric device 177 changes from the closed state to the open state. On the other hand, the occurrence of winning the second non-electric device 177 is delayed due to the occurrence of clogging of the game ball in the upper plate 65a again. Then, as shown in FIG. 61B, the next opening times of the predetermined electric device 172 are started at the timing of t6 in which the second non-electric device 177 is still in the open state.

Here, the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172 is a predetermined general electric power that is an end condition of the open execution state, rather than the upper limit number of winnings to the predetermined general electric device 172 that is the end condition of the open execution state. The upper limit of the number of times the device 172 is opened is set to be larger. Therefore, in a situation where the remaining number of times of opening the predetermined power device 172 is larger than the number of remaining prizes in the predetermined power device 172, one opening time of the predetermined power device 172 to the predetermined power device 172 is performed. Even if no prize is generated, it is possible to generate a prize for a maximum number of game balls in the predetermined general electric device 172 in the open execution state. In this case, in the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172, the symbol display device 51 shows the image G2 showing the number of remaining winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172 and the remaining number of times the predetermined general electric device 172 is opened. Since the image G3 is displayed, the player can grasp whether or not it is necessary to make the predetermined general electric device 172 win the game ball at a predetermined opening time of the predetermined general electric device 172. Further, during the closing period of the predetermined general electric device 172, the symbol display device 51 displays an image G4 showing the remaining closing continuation period. Therefore, the player can stop the firing of the game ball toward the predetermined general electric device 172 in advance before the new opening rotation of the predetermined general electric device 172 is started. As a result, the game ball does not enter the predetermined general electric device 172 in the middle of the cycle of winning the game ball in the order of the first non-electric device 173 → the second non-electric device 177 → the third non-electric device 179. It becomes possible to do so.

Specifically, in the case of FIG. 61, as shown in FIG. 61 (b), a predetermined normal electric power is applied from the timing of t6 to the timing of t7, which is the timing in which the second non-electric device 177 is in the open state. Although the device 172 is in the open state, no prize is generated for the predetermined electric device 172 at the opening times. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from entering the predetermined electric device 172 in the middle of the cycle.

After that, as shown in FIG. 61 (g), a prize is generated in the second non-electric device 177 at the timing of t8. When the second non-electric device 177 is won, the second non-electric device 177 is closed as shown in FIG. 61 (f) at the timing of t8, and as shown in FIG. 61 (h). The third non-electric device 179 is opened. Then, at the timing of t9, as shown in FIG. 61 (i), a prize is generated in the third non-electric device 179. When a prize is generated for the third non-electric device 179, the third non-electric device 179 changes from the open state to the closed state at the timing of t9, as shown in FIG. 53 (h).

After that, as shown in FIG. 61 (b), a new opening time of the predetermined electric device 172 is executed from the timing of t10 to the timing of t12, and the predetermined normal device 172 is executed at the timing of t11 as shown in FIG. 61 (c). A prize is generated for the electric device 172. This allows. A new cycle is started as shown after the timing of t12.

According to the present embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

The open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172 is more than the upper limit number of winnings in the predetermined general electric device 172 which is the end condition of the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172 which is the end condition of the open execution state. The maximum number of times of opening is larger. As a result, even if one or more game balls are not inserted into the predetermined normal electric device 172 at each execution time in the open state of the predetermined general electric device 172, the maximum number of balls is reached in the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172. It is possible to put the game ball into the predetermined electric device 172. In this case, in the open execution state of the predetermined utility device 172, the player pays attention to the number of times the predetermined utility device 172 is opened to determine whether or not the upper limit number of game balls enter the predetermined utility device 172. While making predictions, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Since the open continuation period in one opening time of the predetermined general electric device 172 is set to 0.3 seconds, a game in which the predetermined general electric device 172 can win a prize in one opening time of the predetermined general electric device 172. The number of balls is about one, and it is possible that the game ball does not enter the predetermined general electric device 172 in one opening time of the predetermined general electric device 172. In this case, since the upper limit number of times is larger than the upper limit number as described above, the player can transfer the upper limit number of game balls to the predetermined normal electric device 172 in the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172. Whether or not to enter the ball is predicted while paying attention to the number of times the predetermined electric device 172 is opened, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

In the open execution state of the predetermined general electric device 172, the image G2 showing the number of remaining winnings to the predetermined general electric device 172 on the symbol display device 51 and the image G3 showing the remaining number of times the predetermined general electric device 172 is opened are displayed. Is displayed. As a result, the player can grasp whether or not it is necessary to make the predetermined universal device 172 win the game ball at the predetermined opening times of the predetermined universal device 172. Then, by performing the grasp, the game ball is moved to the predetermined general electric device 172 in the middle of the cycle in which the game ball is won in the order of the first non-electric device 173 → the second non-electric device 177 → the third non-electric device 179. It is possible to prevent the ball from entering.

During the closing period of the predetermined universal device 172 in the open execution state of the predetermined utility device 172, the symbol display device 51 displays an image G4 indicating the remaining closing continuation period. Therefore, the player can stop the firing of the game ball toward the predetermined general electric device 172 in advance before the new opening rotation of the predetermined general electric device 172 is started.
